PORT ANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- -a- TM- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of astly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be ent rely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 Worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 7d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a veinal), contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

A letter from Turin, dated May 2, says :—Yes terday Count Cavour administered a severe, but not altogether undeserved, rebuke to the Chamber. He charged the deputies with having done nothing, or little more than nothing, since the opening of Par liament, on the 18th of February, and expressed his apprehension that they would go on equally wasting their time to the close of the session. The reproach is by no means new. The press, both national and foreign, has not spared what Garibaldi calls the " Hon. Chamber ;" and there was even a rash member, as far back as a month ago, who re minded his colleagues that, although Parliament came from " parlare," the nation expected some thing more than mere "talk" from its representa tives. Although the authority of Count Cavour may exercise greater influence than that of other moni tors, the evil, great as it is, and acknowledged by all persons, admits of no ready remedy. In an assembly where every man has a right to talk it is no easy matter to induce any one to renounce the supreme pleasure of hearing his own voice. The Southern members, especially Neapolitans and Sici lians, are each of them a perfect flood of loquacity. Manuscripts have been, after a brief experiment, altogether tabooed in the Chamber, ani written speeches are coughed down with little mercy, but these Southerners have the knack of committing their high-flowing improvisations to memory, and they deliver them v ith all the unction and twang of so many Capuchin preachers. Last year it was the Tuscans who astounded their soberer sub-Alpine brethren by their overwhelming volu bility of tongue ; this season both the North and the Centre are driven to the wall, and their new volcanic colleagues hold possession of the field. Such a flood of words, such a variety of interpella tions, such a number of Bills of " Parliamentary initiative," are presented by one or more Deputies and destined to fall still-born at the first or second reading ! Every man, it seems, has not only his own vanity to gratify, but his constituency also to compound with. Municipal interests, "belfry politics," as the phrase is, are all in all to most members. Count Cavour said that a Ministerial speech was often, in reality, a diplomatic note in- tended less for the Chamber than for all the Euro pean Powers. The speech of many a deputy is not unfrequently neither more nor less than an elec toral address aimed at securing the people's vote against the chances of a dissolution. Honourable members think less of the effect their words may have on the Chamber than of the impression they may make when read in the cafe, the apothecaries' shops, and other political clubs of the remote petty community which have raised them to Parliamen tary honours. Although the eacoethes loquencli may come in for a large share of the blame justly attaching to the first Italian Parliament, it would, however, be a great injustice to deny that the loss of time is in a great measure occasioned by the clumsiness and pedantry of its original institution—a fault trace able to the Piedmontese Parliament in all its stages, and to the French Chambers, of which it was origi nally a servile copy. By the iron rule of the Sar dinian Constitution, neither the Upper nor the Lower House, nor any of the offices or commissions (com mittees) appertaining to them, can deliberate unless at least one-half of the members and one are present. Senators and deputies are unpaid, and no means have been found yet to compel their attendance. It is true no member ought to absent himself with out leave, but then, in the first place, there is no instance of such a leave being refused ; and, in the second place, most members take their leave with out asking;, there are many who only show now and then, many who never appear at all during the session. In order that the business of the Chamber may be carried on in all its branches, it_is necessary that an Italian should show ten times as much zeal and assiduity as an English M.P. One half of the members, at least, must be permanently at work from morning till evening ; for, although the sit tings of the house itself seldom take up more than four or five hours of the afternoon, the work in the committee-rooms goes on all the rest of the day, and the members who choose to do their duty have no sinecure of it. The opening of the present Session unfortunately had to be put off till the promulgation of the elec toral law had enabled the Southern provinces to re turn their deputies ; the best part of the working season for Italy, from November to March, had passed away, and a few weeks brought us to that early summer in which it has always proved next to impossible to keep the Chambers together. It is upon such a Parliament, convoked in such a hur rey, for so brief a season, that the task of forming one State out of five or six States devolved. The fusion of the laws, of the administration of the finances, and of all the other branches of Govern ment ; the solution of the great problem of unifica tion without centralisation ; the combination of unity with liberty; of central strength with local self-government, must be achieved by men who have been already well nigh fagged to death by preliminary interpellations and irrelevant Bills. Parties are by no means organised, the Chamber not at' all disciplined. Every member of every fraction of the House must be heard on every particular point, in every measure. No leaders are acknowledged either in the committee room or in the House. Discussion drags on to dreary lengths, the same arguments are urged on again and again, subjects are worn out threadbare. In so prodigious an amount of talk repetition and common place must necessarily render the debate intolerably heavy. The dreariness of the proceed ings, of course, has a' tendency to thin the House, and, by a natural law of cause and effect, the scanty attendance puts off the same topic from day to day. It is to a Chamber so framed, and labouring under such inconveniences, that the Home Minister, Minghetti, proposed his vast scheme for a muni cipal, provincial, and regional administration, a complex of four laws, each of which involves organic principles of the greatest importance, each or , Thi , 'll would require a whole year's deliberation by a mature and vv.ii owipred assembly, such as, for instance, the English House of COMMOUm. Of course, the Minghetti laws have come aground in the offices during the first stage of their probation, and are not likely after a six weeks' labour to come forward for the deliberation of a special commission, say nothing of discussion before the Lower House, whence, to become law, it would have to be sent to the Senate for a no less slow and complicate exami nation. It is upon such a Chamber that Count Cavour, as Minister of the Marine, and Fanti, the man at the head of the War Department, daily pour in bills for the extension and re-organisation of the national armament. Before such a Chamber the Minister of the Public Works, Peruzzi, lays his grand plans for a system of railways, harbours, and public works, int e nd e d t o p l ace t h e moat regions of thi s l ong - trampled Italy on a b ot a h ck er ward level with the freeest and most thriving communi ties of Europe. or all the immense mass of work the Chamber ion, in Svo., price I.os. 6d., D REVIEWS. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That a MEET ING of the CREDITORS of EDWARD BIRMING , HAM, commonly called Lord ATHENRY, formerly of Lower Gardiner-street, Dublin, afterwards of No. 2, Saint James's square, and subsequently of Saint George's-terrace, Oxford road, Middlesex, Esquire, under and by virtue of an Act of Parliament made and passed in the first and second years of her Majesty Queen Victoria, intituled "An Act for abolishing arrest in mesne process in civil actions, except in certain cases, for extending the remedies of creditors against the properties of debtors, and for amend ug the laws for the re lief of insolvent debtors in England," will be held on SATURDAY, the ► ith day of May; 1 , 61 (being an adjourn ment of a meeting held on the 4th day of May, 861), at Twelve o'clock at noon precisely, at the office of Messrs. Walter and Moojen, at No. 8, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury, in the county of Middlesex, to consider as to the Sale of the interest of the said Insolvent in certain real Estate for the benefit of the Creditors of the said Insolvent. Dated this 4th day of May, tB6l. WALTER AND MOOJEN, 8, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury, London, Attorneys for the Creditors' Assignee of the said Edward Birmingham. EVENING, _MAY 7, 1861, will, no doubt, achieve rather nothing than little. The Government must for some time be conducted on discretionary principles. This is the third year since Parliament was called upon to vote a budget. Instead of a financial statement, Bastogi presents a bill for a loan of 500,000,0001., to be contracted on terms likely to bring upon the country liabilities to the amount of 700,000,000 f. Yet the bill must pass, and the money must be found on the Government's own terms—•the only possible terms. The alterna tive is, of course, a Cabinet question, a vote of want of confidence, and the necessity of finding a man able to supersede Count Cavour at the helm of the State under present emergencies. The result is that Count Cavour must have carte blanche—the wisest resolution the Parliament or the country can by any effort come to. This may not seem laudable or cheering in theory. Of all the GovArnments, the very worst in normal times would be the one which secured full powers to the ruler under the speciousness of Par liamentary forms ; the one in which a Minister should exercise absolute sway, and yet contrive to throw the whole or part of his responsibility on passive and complacent Chambers. Yet such are the conditions of Italy that, with the best inten tions, neither a patriotic statesman nor a jealous and stubborn assembly could contrive anything more plausible. A free press and the tribune of the Chambers are sufficient to call the ruler to a daily moral account, and to warn him that he is only acting on sufferance for a limited time and at his own peril. Any day he may be taken legally and positively to task. A vote of confidence may any day be refused ; the Minister cannot go be yond the length of his tether. It is true Parlia ment, as yet, " reigns and governs not," but it can enter any moment upon the real exercise of its functions. Count Cavour is by no means the man to abuse the transcendant power with which he is invested; but, ware he even to forget himself, the country has ample means to take him up short, and to remind him that he is only omnipotent because, and as long as, the Italians have faith in his good intentions no less than in his une qualled abilities. N.N.W. Since then the weather has been fine, but the cold was felt severely by all on board as the ship entered the Channel and fell in with the north east winds. The following ships were spoken by the Indomitable during the latter part of her pas sage :—On the 28th of March, in lat. 2 56 N., long. 22 43 Mr., the English ship Advance, from Tuta corin for Cork, 83 days ont ; March 30, in lat. 5 24 N., long. 22 57 W., the French ship Canova ; on the 6th of April, in lat. 17 59 N., long. 33 24 W., the ship Southern Cross, from Foochow for London, 93 days out. Three deaths among the troops have occurred on the passage home, but in all three cases from disease contracted previous to embarkation. The health of the troops otherwise than the cases mentioned has been excellent throughout the voyage. The Indomitable has been doing service as a Government transport in China since Septem ber, 1859. His Netherland Majesty's steamer Berkel, 8 guns, from Helvoet, bound to Jays, arrived in Falmouth on Saturday morning to fill up coal, and was to sail for her destination on Sunday. Her Majesty's sjiip Bulldog is still engaged en deavouring to righten the derelict vessel towed into Falmouth by that vessel and her Majesty's ship Lightning, which latter steamer arrived again at Falmouth at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening from Plymouth. The 2d battalion, 19th Regiment, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. Robert Warden, left Ports mouth yesterday morning, at 7 a.m., by special train for Dublin. In order to provide additional space for the large stores of arms which are now being collected at Chatham, the large armoury at the Ordnance-wharf has been entirely reconstructed, and some additional rooms have been fitted up with appropriate racks for the reception of the stores of rifles for both land and sea service. By the improved arrangements effected sufficient space is now furnished for storing 50,000 stand of rifles, about 35,000 of which are already deposited in the armoury, and stores of rifles are constantly arriving from the Tower and the Government factories at Enfield and elsewhere. All the rifles deposited in the armoury are of the recent improved manufacture, including a quantity of the rifle known as " pattern 53" for sea service, which are to be supplied to each of the ships of war fitted out at Chatham. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty ;—Lieut. A. St. Clair and Lieut. Seymour Osborne, to the Marlborough ; W. N. Brake, surgeon, to the Challenger; J. M'E. Wal lace, surgeon, to the Driver; Archibald L. Archer, surgeon, to the Rinaldo.; W. Graham, acting assist.-surgeon, to the Driver; R. Nelson, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Rinaldo; Raymond H. Carroll, assistant-surgeon, to the Formidable; R. Purves, assistant-surgeon, to the Victory, for Has lar Hospital ; T. P. Potts, promoted to the rank of second-class assistant-engineer in the Fisgard, as supernumerary; T. Udall, promoted to the rank of second-class assistant engineer in the Wye; E. Car ling, third-class assistant-engineer, to the Hanni bal ; and W. T. Galdie, acting third-class assistant engineer, to the Cumberland, as supernumerary. TILE NAT/ Y. The Cyclops, 6, paddle, Capt. Pullen, whose arri val at Spithead from China was reported in The Sun of yesterday, is ordered to proceed to Sheerness to pay off, and will leave for that port after coaling. The Comet steam tug arrived at Portsmouth yes terday from the Shingle shoal, on which the Avon steamer got stranded during the night of Saturday on her passage from Portsmouth to Devonport. All attempts to get the Avon off by the steamers Pigmy, Comet, and Echo, sent to her assistance from Ports mouth, had proved unavailing at high water both on Sunday night and yesterday morning. A bower anchor and chain, with one of her paddlebox boats, had been taken from her, and her coals, about 25 tons, were to be thrown out of her yesterday, with the object of lightening her, and, as the tides are on the increase, it was hoped that she would be got off last night's, or at the latest this morning's, tide. Since the Avon has been ashore the wind, fortu nately, has been light at north-east, and the sea con sequently quite smooth, so that she cannot have sustained any very serious damage. She lies about a cable's length west half north of the N.E. buoy of the shoal, and on its highest part. The Comet left Portsmouth again at 6 p.m. yesterday for the scene of the accident with additional aid from the Victory. The Diadem, 32, screw, Capt. Cockburn, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning and embarked alongside the dockyard the undermen- tioned officers and men of the 55th Regiment (West moreland), with whom she sailed at 5 p.m. for Jersey :—Lieut.-Col. R. Hume in command, Major R. England, Capts. R. Hume, F. F. Twysden, J. G. Echalaz, J. H. Sharpe, F. P. T. Hobbs, and W. H. Rowland ; Lieuts.. E. C. Hilton, J. F. Morton, J. H. Harrison, T. Dunn, W. M. Frobisher, and J. W. Justice ; Ensigns D. A. Ogden, A. H. Kay, F. H. Tate, W. King, A. J. Clarke, S. Cargill, and J. E. Lee; Paymaster H. Burke, Adjutant 0. S. D. Osborne, Surgeon H.. Somers, 36 sergeants, 14 drummers, 24 corporals, 461 privates, 59 women, and 98 children, and 5 officers' horses. The troops will disembark from the Diadem at Jersey this morning, and will be succeeded on board by a wing of the 30th Regiment, with which the Diadem returns to Portsmouth this evening. The Dasher, paddle steamer, Commander P. de Saumerez, stationed at the Channel Islands, will assist in the embarcation and disembarcation of the troops from the Diadem at Jersey and Alderney, at the conclusion of which service she is ordered to Ports mouth for repairs. The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com mander George M. Jackson, from Gibraltar, April 26, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Sunday after noon, with condemned stores and three returned convicts. She left Plymouth on the 13th of April, with the gunboats Procris and Cockatrice, and arrived on the 22d at Gibraltar, when she dis charged the guns and shot belonging to the Procris into that vessel, and transferred 140 supernu meraries into the screw steam frigate Ariadne, 26, Capt. E. W. Vansittart, which, with the screw steamship Cressy, 80, Capt. Thomas Harvey, was at anchor in the Bay. The Cressy, with invalids from the Mediterranean fleet, sailed on the 26th for Eng land, and is supposed to have been observed on Saturday night, under canvas only, beating against a north-easter, by the Geyser, which spoke, May 2, lat. 45 40 N., long. 10 30 W., the barque Caesar, steering south-west, and May 6, off the Lizard, the Prussian ship Arnold Boninger, from Baltimore for Rotterdam, and the Norwegian brig, Christiana, outward bound, with emigrants. The screw steam storeship Industry, from Wool wich, with boilers and engine gear for the screw steamship Defiance, 91, arrived at Plymouth yes terday morning. She was appointed to be placed in the basin at Keyham steamyard in the afternoon. The gunboats Heron and Doterel were hauled yesterday afternoon from the basin in Keyham yard into the stream in Hamoaze. The gunboat Redwing, tender to the gunnery ship Cambridge, went into Plymouth Sound yes terday morning for shot practice, and the brig Nautilus, tender to the flagship Impregnable, went outside the breakwater for exercise for the naval apprentices. Yesterday the War Department transport Bomar sund arrived at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, and 6 8-pounder and other with theirguns, taken out of the Ganges, 8 l landed d a e t d th 20 e of N o t r he carriages,.e large Th ship egus were all landed in a compara ti ve ly short time by m eans o f one o f th e steam cranes recently erected at Chatham. The Marlborough and the Petrel War Department transports have also arrived at Chatham, and landed a portion of the guns and stores belonging to the Ganges. The hired transport Indomitable, No. 45, Capt. Carew. arrived at Spithead yesterday from China, with a division of the 2d (Queen's Royals) Regi ment on board, consisting of 12 officers, 300 men, and 3 women. The officers comprise, Major D. W. G. James, in command ; Capts. J. Connor, J. C. Weir, G.Wolfe, and J. Chalmers; Lieuts. H. Echalaz and F. be I w R. G e u d b into i d n n s ; p Ensigns T. D. F os b roo ke and M. W. Jackson, medical staff. The Indomitable will orternouth harbour this morn toba ing, and the troops landed at the dockyard, taking up quarters in the garrison, where they are ordered to be stationed for the present. The Indomitable sailed from Hongkong on the 18th of Dec., 1860, from Singapore on the 29th of Dec., from the Cape of Good Hope on the 3d of March, 1861, and from. St. Helena on the 15th of March. The Mars and Alfred troopships left St. Helena for Spitbead on the 14th of March. The Indomitable experienced light winds easterly from the Line to the Western lolanda, where she fell in with a heavy gale frees THE VOLUN2RE.RS. One of the brigade field-days, as strongly recom mended by 24 commanding officers of the principal metropolitan corps, at a meeting held for that pur pose, and sanctioned by a memorandum from the War-office, took place in Regent's-parks on Satur day afternoon. In consequence of the fineness of the weather and the interest attaching to the fact that a large number of Volunteers would take part in the evolutions, a great many persons assembled for the purpose of witnessing the display. The corps on the ground were the 19th Middlesex (Work ing Men's College) Volunteers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bathurst, Major Hughes, and Adjutant and Captain Reed ; the 9th (West Middlesex) under the command of Lord Radstock and the 39th Middlesex (Finsbury), under Lieute nant-Colonel Colvill, &c. The manoeuvres com menced shortly after 6 o'clock by the whole of the corps forming a single brigade, and moving in mass. They afterwards formed double columns, forming squares to resist cavalry, battalion drill, &c. The movements, which elicited continued marks of approbation from the spectators, were kept up till dusk, when each corps was complimented by its commanding officer on its appearance and the precision with which it had executed the different movements. The different corps having been re formed left the park, accompanied by their bands, which played selections of music on the march, went back to quarters, and were dismissed. The Six Feet Guards will make their first appear ance in the City on Wednesday, the Bth inst., the Lord Mayor having kindly allowed them to furnish a guard of honour at the Guildhall, on the occasion of the banquet to the Earl of Elgin on that day. This permission has been given under the special circumstance of the corps being commanded by the Earl's next brother, the Hon. T. C. Bruce, and a full company have accordingly received orders to muster at Hungerford-market at 4.30 to march to the Guildhall for that purpose. The City of London Rifle Brigade, under the command of Colonel Hicks, assembled at head quarters on Saturday afternoon, and, headed by their brass band, marched to Regent's Park, where they were put through battalion and light infantry drill. A mounted company to the corps is in course of formation, and the sanction of the Duke of Cambridge, honorary colonel, having been ob tained, the brigade will be called out for a fortnight's service, under canvass at Aldershott, this summer. On Saturday evening Lord Truro, commandant of the 4th Middlesex (North London) Rifles, pre sented to Captain Cummins, the senior captain, on behalf of the officers and men of the corps, a hand some sword, which had been subsc r ib e d f or by them, in testimony of their sense of his zeal and energy in the formation of the corps and the services he had since rendered it. A FEMALE IN DISGUISE. —During the recent sitting of the Salford County Court, a person who passed as Thomas Green, who lived in Salford, and was employed as a mill hand, was sued on a judgment summons for a debt of £1 14s. 6d., being the balance of an account for a suit of " gentleman's" attire. Tho result was a committal for 20 days to the New Bailey. The individual was accord ingly conveyed to the gaol, when it was discovered that, though attired as a man, sho was of the opposite sex. On Friday she was liberated, a portion of the debt having been paid. We have since heard that the female, when very young, occupied the position of servant in the family of a lady, and her appearance and deportment inducing her mis tress to adopt her as a page, the necessary apparel was pro cured. After some time, the girl went abroad with her em ployer, and on returning to this country she continued to dress in male attire, and was in the service of another lady 10 or 12 years ! She is now between 30 and 40 years of age, and has for some time lived with another female in Salford. The peculiarity of the affair is increased by the fact that although she has on two previous occasions been committed to prison, she has continued to preserve her disguise.

PRICK 4D . STAMPED, 51). EXTBAORDINART N ON PRIM ROSE-RILL. • Last evening an inquest was held b e f ore M r . Brent, deputy-coroner for West Middl esex , a t th e Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Ca m d en - town, on viewo ftheboled34 of Air. years,Rob id e r r e t s Go ig r n ing, des cr ib e d as a gentleman , at 34, Hamil ton-street, Camden -town, who committed suicide by shooting himself on Primrose-hill, about 7 o'clock on Saturday morning last, under circumstances which have created considerable excitement in the immediate neighbourhood of deceased's residence. George Goring, engineer,of 40, Gun-street, Spital fields, identified the body of the hapless man as that of his brother. He last saw him alive seven years ago. Could not account for the committal of the rash act. James Glover, builder, of 29, Clarendon-street, deposed that between six and seven a.m. on Satur day, as he was going over Primrose-hill, he saw the deceased sitting on the grass, about 30 yards dis tant, doing something with his hands, and instantly he held a pistol to his ear and fired. He fell dead. Witness ran up, and he found the pistol lying on the right side of him and his hat on the left, with blood oozing from one ear: No one but himself was near at the time. As soon as he could he sent for a police man. Police-constable 184 S repaired to the spot, and was told by last witness deceased had shot himself. He here produced a revolver, wh,cli last ,witness gave him, containing five chambers, two of which had been fired off, and one remained loaded. He found three letters and some silver upon his person. On the outside of one of the letters was written, " Friend, read the contents of this letter." On the inside was the following., " Friend, do as this letter instructs you. Take my body to the nearest pub lic-house. You will find in my pocket letters ad dressed to my friends, and tell them where they will find me. Take half-a-crown for your trouble." Mrs. Ann Golding, 34, Hamilton-street, Camden Town, said deceased had lodged with her for the last three months. Last saw him alive about eleven o'clock last Friday night, without exhibiting any thing remarkable in his manner, except that he always appeared to be a very nervous man. At an early hour on Saturday morning she found de ceased absent from the house, and his bed undis turbed. Had seen the pistol produced in his pos session once. She had two boxes and a letter, which he wished her to give up to the Rev. Mr. Eyre, Roman Catholic priest, 9, Hill-street, Ber keley-square, if he did not himself call for them in a few days. She was instructed by a letter from deceased that the Rev. Mr. Eyre should open the letter in her presence. The Rev. Wm. Eyre was here called, and at the request of the deputy-coroner opened the letter, inside of which he announced then: were five £lO and four £5 Bank of England notes. Mrs. Charlotte Dickinson, 30, Chester-mews, who was next sworn, deposed that deceased habitually visited her house, and always was of sane mind. He was formerly a foreman tailor, but had latterly followed no occupation. He dined with her on Friday, but she did not in the least anticipate his speedy death, although he had been very unhappy since last Christmas-day, on account of a young lady, with whom he had formed an attachment a snort time before, and who he intended to marry, having given him up on that day. The Rev. Wm. Eyre swore that he was the Roman Catholic priest of Farm Chapel, and resided at 9, Hill-street, Berkeley-square. He knew the deceased quite well since last November. The acquaintance originated by deceased telling him he wished to become a Catholic. Witness never saw the deceased give the least indications of insanity, though he was depressed on account of a love affair. Last saw him alive on the Wednesday before Eas ter Sunday, when he remarked he thought he was getting over his despondency. He was a very re ligious and excellent man, and he never supposed he had a wrong principle about him. The next communication witness received from him was through some gentleman on last Saturday morning, at half-past eight. He (the rev. gentleman) was in a very difficult position with regard to one letter he had received from the unfortunate man, because it was marked " private." The Deputy Coroner thought it was necessary this letter should be made public, because it gave the jury a much better means of forming a judg ment as to the state of mind of the deceased than anything they had heard yet. He had read the letter through, and he saw no objection its being read. Witness, in a lengthened conversation with the deputy coroner, warmly objected to the reading of the letter. He said, as a Catholic priest hearing confession, he was put in possession of the secrets of the heart, and the law could not mean for him to divulge such secrets. He could not permit the letter to be read, as it would be against his con- science. The Deputy Coroner —But you do not do it voluntarily. Witness—But I cannot if this letter is considerd secret. I would sooner go to prison first. The Deputy-Coroner—All I have to say is, I must put this into court. Witness again contended he would sooner go to prison than give his consent, if it was considered a private letter by the ordinary usage of society, as he was bound in his conscience to refuse. It would place him in a very dishonourable light if he gave consent. The Deputy Coroner thought differently with regard to the letter. There was £7O which might be considered to be for witness's private use if the letter was not made public. Witness did not object to that passage. The Deputy-Coroner having first asked witness to point out any other passage he did not wish to be read, but which he did not do, then read the letter, as follows : " Dear and Holy Father—lt is with feelings I cannot describe that I pen these few lines. I hope you will pardon the liberty I take in doing se- _ I should explain to you more fully, my d e ar and holy father, but my spirit is broken, and I cannot do anything properly. Pardon me, father.

The Deputy-Coroner lucidly summed up, and Adjourned to next Week accordingly. The jury, after two deliberations, refused to re turn an y other verdict than of felo de se, without a post mortem examination of the brain. The Deputy - Coroner catholic proposed to adjourn for that purpose. Newberry's Patent Enamelled Cloth are the only Collars that resemble find linen.

A murderous attack and robbery of a most daring character was perpetrated at Sheffield on Saturday afternoon, the victim being an old man namedßalph Barbers, and. his assailant a stove-grate fitter, named Samuel Mitchell, aged 19 years. Mr. Barber was a joiner's toolmaker, but had retired from business some years ate. Some time ago a housekeeper, who had lived with him many years, got married,' and the old man, not liking to have a stranger near him, has since lived alone—a respectable woman, named Mason, going to his house once or twice a day to clean, cook his meals, &c. The old man's house, though in Brooke-street, a thickly-populated part of the town, is in a rather lonely situation, being in a separate yard, not overlooked by any other houses, and approached by a long narrow passage. Mitchell is nephew to Mrs. Mason, and a short time ago inquired forhis aunt at Barber's house. Learning from the old man that she was not there, he said his mother had opened a small greengrocer's shop, and had sent him to ask his aunt to borrow a sovereign for he r from him (Mr. Barber ). The old man ad vanced a sovereign, and Mr. Mitchell went away. Mrs. Mrs on learning' what had taken placP, in quired of her sist er , and ascertained that the re presentation by 'which Mitchell had obtained the money was a fabrication. The circumstances reaching the ears of Mitchell's elder brother, he at , once went to Mr. Barber, and offered to repay the money. Mr. Barber remarked that in the present hard times his brother could ill afford to part with a sovereign, and compromised the matter by ac cepting 10s. Having got out of one scrape thus easily, the younger Mitchell determined upon a bolder adventure, and between four and five o'clock on Saturday afternoon went again to Mr. Barber's house. He knocked at the door, was admitted by the old man, who was alone, and s a id he had come to beg pardon for having obtained the sovereign so improperly. Mr. Barber told him that the matter was arranged, and that there was an end of it. Mitchell, however, continued his . expressions of 'regret, and fog upon his knees to hr pardon. This proceeding seems to have been h 'mere ruse for the pnrpdse of making sure that the old man was alone; and was possibly also , designed to throw. him of his guard. After a few minutes the young man became very. violent, struck Mr. Barber about the face several times with his fists, and afterwards seizing the poker beat Mr. Barber about the head in the most savage manner, at , the same time demanding his money. Of what followed the old man has but a very partial recollection, but he remembers being dragged up stairs, giving up his keys, and seeing the scoundrel search his drawers. After a short time the fellow made off, and Mr. Barber, though dreadfully injured, had sufficient strength left to get to the bedroom window and attract the atten tion of neighbours, who went to his assistance. The house presented abundant traces of the bru tality which had been perpetrated. The floor was nearly covered with blood, and on the walls were numerous finger marks in blood, indicating that the poor old man in his distraction had kept put ting his hands on his head as a protection against the dreadful blows inflicted with the poker, and the running against the wall, first on one side and then on the other in a vain effort to escape. Medical assistance was at once called in, and information was also conveyed to the police. Mr. Jackson, the chief constable, finding that the old man was in an apparently dying state, at onee communicated with the magistrate's clerk, and Mr. J. J. Smith, magistrate, who attended and took Mr , Barber's deposition within a few hours. Mr. Jack son also despatched a body of . police in all direc tions for the ,purpose of securing the robber, who was captured at a l a t e h our b y hi s b rot h er and de tective officer Brayshaw. The prisoner had taken a few shillings in silver from Mr. Barber's pockets ; but it is thought, though not at present positively known, that he had not obtained much booty be yond that sum. Mr. Barber had in his bedroom a safe for the custody of his money and valuables, and this had not been opened, the prisoner not having succeeded in finding the key, which was locked up in a desk. On Sunday the old man was still alive, but great doubts were entertained of his recovery. CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A COVENTRY TOWN CO UNCILLOR. Much pain has been inflicted upon the inhabi tants of Coventry by the sudden apprehension of Mr. Gilbert Burbury, the owner of an extensive tanyard, and who is supposed to do business to a large amount in connection with the leather trade. The accused was taken into custody on Friday night, and lodged in one of the cells at the police station, on-a chargQ of forging an acceptance to a bill of exchange for £4OO. The prisoner is a mem ber of the town council, and has hitherto occupied a position of the highest respectability in the town. He is understood to have been affected in no limited degree by the recent heavy failures in the leather trade, his affairs having been for some time in state of considerable pecuniary embarrassment. Much commiseration is universally felt for him and his unfortunate wife and family, the prevailing impression being that the difficulties with which he has been surrounded are not the result of reck less or imprudent trading on his own part. The prisoner was brought up in custody at the police-court on Saturday morning, the magistrates present being Thomas Soden, S. Vale, and E. Phil lips, Esqrs. He appeared deeply sens ibl e o f th e painful position in which he was placed, and to have been suffering acute mental anguish. The court and the avenues leading thereto were crowded with people. The prisoner was then in due form charged with having, on the 26th of December last, forged a bill of exchange, purporting to be signed by John Gre• gory, of Birmingham, with intent to defraud the Union Banking Company, at Coventry, of the sum of £3OO. Mr. Dewes appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Thomas Browett was in attendance on behalf of the accused. Mr. Dewes briefly opened the case by stating that the prosecution was instituted, though with great reluctance, by the directors of the Union Banking Company, The highly respectable and honourable position which the prisoner had hitherto borne - made it a matter of the deepest concern to them to take this step; hut they f tt oo e tthey do ho es so h h. a s rHe should l fail shareholders did iedr s noti and in t proposet h o e t h d e is p c u h gb a ol r ii gcn if tf g nhteoyt their hom l e uta case y de upon this occasion, a most material witness, Mr. Gregory, not being in attendance, sufficient time not having been afforded to bring him from Bir mingham. Ile therefore applied that the prisoner might be remanded for a week. The truth of the information having been sworn to by Mr. Swan, manager of the Union Bank, the application for a remand was acceded to by the bench. Mr. Browett applied that the prisoner might be admitted to bail, and Mr. Deweyoffering n o ob jection, the bench accepted secur ity for the pri soner's appearance, J=msel f in £lOO, and two sure ties i n Doc? each.—Bwmtngham Daily Post. AN OFFICER KILLED BY A TIGER. kacheidaebinuntr informed 6i We regret to have to record the occurrence of a most melancholy accident that has occurred near Neemuch, in the death of Lieutenant Charles Newel Grant, of the 2d European Light Infantry. An officer, writing to us from Neemuch, under date the 26th March, says :—" A party cf officers, viz, CaE tain Baumgartner, young Hemstead, Of a° 2d , Crawford, of the 13th N. 1., and poor Grant, proceededilefr proceeded, emile a s on a shooting expedition:to Ruttunghur, 3 o o f In a tiger, The first day they obtaine w d ottei happening which was shot without any gate him a couple of severely, On Saturday forenoon they r The beast the presence of a very lar g e from their camp, to which P the y ee aurs oni e an 6 sev coming up with the ea ch tigerrvry barrels, wounding hira me N short - then made off for some th jungle, and after e brute beating for him, t hey again about four or five in t h e - evening,. when some shots were fired and he was again hit. He then turned to the right, where Poor Grant was in advance of all, and on s eeing himfired at him ; the brute then seized h i m , the beaters bolted, and the tiger commenced to bite and claw poor Grant fearfully, carrying him off to some distance. The other officers were only aware of the occurrence by hearing Grant cry out t) Baumgartner to come and kill the brute. The latter, in the most plucky and brave manner, ran to the spot, and found the tiger on the top of Grant crunching his arm. Baumgartner had only one barrel loaded (his shikaree had also bolted with his rifle) ; but like a fine fellow as . he is, he went muzzle close up, and placing the just behind the animal's shoulder, fired , and seeing that even then the tiger would not relax his hold, drew his re volver, and fired the five barrels into its head. Hemsted then came up and fired two shots into the savage beast's head, when it died ; but before poor Grant could be extricated the brute's jaws had actually to be forced open. Poor Grant was then removed in a dooly into Neemuch, but unavoidably some twenty odd hours elapsed before his vsounds could be dressed, owing to the distance he had to be carried. On reaching Neemuch Doctwes Arnott and Wright were immediately in attendance, and did all that human skill could, but the poor fellow breathed his last on Tuesday afternoon, the 25th instant. The tiger was of the largest size, mea suring twelve feet in length."—.Poona Observer.
