This bankrupt was described as of Great Windmill-street, butcher, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr Pearce appeared for the assignees. Mr Reeves, for the bankrupt, said this was a case of pure misfortune. The bankrupt had had the misfortune not long before his bankruptcy to break his knee cap, and was con fined for some months, and shortly after his recovery a similar calamity again befel him, and he was again laid up for four months, and went abroad for a short time, and during his absence he was made bankrupt. His accounts were perfectly satisfactory, and a dividend of 36 lld in the pound had already been paid, and a further sum was expected; under these circumstances no doubt the court would grant an immediate order. Mr Pearce said the assignees were perfectly satisfied with the bankrupt's conduct. The order of discharge was granted, and an allowance of Li was granted for the bankrupt's wife's services, in managing the business for the assignees for a few weeks. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1864. IN RE CHALMERS. This bankrupt was described as of Hampton Court, tailor, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr Sargood opposed for the assignee, on the ground that the bankrupt had refused to comply with an order of the court to give up the premises. They wished also to have a goods and cash account for three months previously to the bankruptcy, as the bankrupt had received moneys just before his bankruptcy for which ho had not accounted in his books, which had not been fully made up. The bankrupt admitted that he had received £6 or £7 for goods, and he assigned as a reason that if he gave up pos session ho would be in the streets. Mr Denny, far the bankrupt, said the lease had been given up, but it was utterly worthless, and he submitted that the bankrupt had rendered the best accounts in his power. His Honout said that the bankrupt had not complied with the order of the Court, and the case would be adjourned sini die, st ithout protection. Mr Sargood ultimately consented to protection being granted fur a week, for baakrupt to give up possession. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE MEDICAL ACT,-Mr Talley, of Blaconsfield, Bucks, attended before Mr Tyrwhitt, and said he had received a letter from Dr Kahn expressing a hope that it would be publicly represented that a person was misrepresenting him by using his name, Ha did not wish, beyond reading the letter hi hal received, to occupy the time of the court. Mr T 3 rwhitt said he did not see why Mr Talley should do so. There were no proceedings under the Medical Ant before him. He did not wish to hear the letter read, and would not. Mr Talley said, that being the case, he wished to make an application against a person keeping an Anatomical Museum. He then entered into a long statement, which was interrupted by Mr Tyrwhitt asking him to let him know what his application was for. Mr Talley said it was for a summons under the 4,h sec tion of the Medical Act against a person assuming the title of physioan, and carrying on an extensive practice accord ing to his own statement. He (Mr Talley) had been through the museum kept by him, and there were not fewer than 40,000 representations in it. The person was practicing a gross fraud on the public, as Dr Kahn was in Vienna. Mr Tyrwhitt asked Mr Talley for the letter from Dr Kahn, and the handbill alluded to in it. Mr Talley said his Worship would see that the handbill stated, "Dr Kahn, finding that the great demands upon his time at his museum rendered it necessary that he should see patients there only, begs to intimate that he can no longer be consulted at his private residence." Mr Tyrwhitt said the question was whether the state ment was not true when the handbills were issued. Mr Talley said the bills were issued daily—he had them thrust into his hands on all sides. Ho wanted to summons the person who practised at the Museum. Mr Tyrwhitt asked Mr Talley how he would show the person practised ? Mr Talley said he would do so. Ho had not brought his witnesses with him, wanting the summons first. Mr Tyrwhitt said he would not grant a summons till he had:a good deal more laid before him. When Mr Talley showed him that the parson at the Museum practised as Dr Kahn, he could have a summons, but so: all the eloquence in the world would induce him to grant one before. Mr Talley then left the court, and shortly afterwards returned seating that he had to apply for a summons against Mr Bearnard. Mr Tyrwhitt inquired what the summons was for ? Mr Talley _mid that on a former occasion he (Mr. Tyr witt) gave him permission to apply again. Mr Tyrwhitt remarked that Mr Talley had already done so, and that he then told him, as he would do so again, that he would grant no summons in the case till after the 10th November. Mr Talley said he was acting on public grounds, and according to his instructions, and he was much obliged to his worship for the hearing he had given him. WESTMINSTER. RIVAL ATTRACTIONS.—" 111 ILES'S BOY" IN DIFFICUL TIES.—Thomas Miles, a boy, between 14 and 15 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr Arnold, charged with stealing three pears, value 31, from the shop of Mr Ferdi nand King, 37, Hendon-street, Pimlico. Prosecutor said that during his absence from home yes terday afternoon the prisoner and some other boys came to the shop and stole a quantity of fruit, with which they escaped. When informed of it he determined to go on the opposite side of the way and keop a watch over his premises. He had not been there long when the prisoner mid two other boys came up, and the prisoner, leaning over a num ber of baskets, stretched himself into the shop and took three pears. Prosecutor seized him uy the arm, when he dropped them, and then Very coolly said that he had got nothing in his hand. Prosecutor said ho was obliged to bring the case before the magistrate, in consequence of the frequent robberies committed upon him. Prisoner exclaimed —Hear me, your worship—it's all wrong. Mr Arnold—Well, what do you wish to say ? Prisoner—Your worship, I was a•'sitting at home when I heard a horgan, and I went out and then there was some blue tiro in the street, and a blind man a-playing a whistle, and I was a• looking at the blue fire and listening to him, when three boys shoved roo on the pears, and then the pro secutor comes across and says, " I have get you," and lays hold of me, just as though I was a thief, and I asked him if I'd tot.k his pears, and he eaid I had, but it was all wrong. Mr Arnold remanded the prisoner until Monday to have some inquiries made into his antecedents, THAMES. A FAST CAB HORSE.—STRANGE, BUT TRUE.—John Harper, a cabdriver, appeared bbtore Mr Sulfa to answer a charge of furious and reckless driving. It appeared from the evidence of a police constable that the prisoner was driving his cab in a dangerous manner and whipping his horse. Much alarm was caused by his imprudent conduct. The horse and cab were proceeding at the rate of 16 miles an hour. Defendant—What, 16 miles an hour; my horse won't go eight miles an hour. Police-constable 121 K was called to confirm the last witness, and he said the defendant's horse travelled at the rate of 60 miles an hour. (Laughter.) Mr Selfe—Nonsense; 60 miles an hour, that is a mile a minute. Policeman—S'aty miles an hour was the pace —not less. (Lund laughter,) Inspector Griffin--The constable is under some misap prehension ; he don't moan it. The Police-constable—Yes, I do. (Roars of laughter.) Inspector Griffin—You don't mean 60 miles an hour ? The Police-constable—Yes, I do; 60 wiles an hour—not less. (Tremendous laughter.) • Inspector Griffin—Well, ifyou insist on it, I have nothing to say. Defendant—Now, what can I say to that officer, Sixty miles an hour ! Is there any horse can do it ? Mr Selfe—No cab-horse could travel at that speed. The Defendant—The fact is the policemen wore asleep, and the hallooing of the men in the cab woke them up, and I pulled up at the Bedford Anne, in Bedford-square, Step• ney, and the policemen rubbed their eyes and had a look at me. Mr Selfe said there was a slight discrepancy in the evidence of the two police-constables. (A. laugh.) But ho believed there was furious driving. The defendant might have called the men in the cab if he was not guilty of the offence iwputed to hiva. lie fined the defendant SJ. and 2s. costs. The penalty was paid. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—Mosers.

Prophecies for the Cesarewitch, The following are the final opinions of the various sporting writers in the weekly journals:— (From Bell's life) The task of summing up is not a very easy one, even if we depend on Mail Train and Gratitude to beat the un known school, and Thalestris and Suspicion those who can be measured on public performances ; but, as we must assert a preference, let it be for this quartette, our greatest faith being in GRATITUDE AND MAIL TRAIN. (From the Era.) The four wo shall take to beat the field are Gratitude, Mail Train, Suspicion, and Thalestris, and in giving the preference to THALESTRIS and GRATITUDE lie think we are justified, as they have a great pull in age and weight over the other pair named. (From the Spotting Gaz.tt3) My opinion is that the race will fall to either GRATITUDE or MAIL TRAIN, and as the former has the lust of the weights, I think her chance is to be preferred to that of the Woodyates horse, and next to these I shall expect to see Lady H,ylda, the Calista colt, and klea'rix. (From the Field.) When all the facts connected with the favourites are weighed in the scale, and due allowance made for trials and jockeys, I can come to no other conclusion than that the judge's verdict this year will be in favour of either WAIL TRAIN or GRATITUDE. (From the Spoi ting I must stand my original selection, Mail Train, as the best of William Day's, together with Lady Hylda, Calista colt, Cathedral, and Gratitude as the best of the formidable lot, finally chcsing as my brace of champions GRATITUDE and CATHEDRAL, thus leaving to fight the battle for me the best publicly and the best privately tried in the race. (From the Sunday Times.) We can only conclude that the winner will turn up in Gratitude, Thalestris, Lady Hylda, the Calista colt, or the best of the Westmoreland, Day lot, Our firm conviction is that GRATITUDE will gain the laurels; and her most dan gerous opponent of our selected few must be Thalestris. And, really, if the latter was a dead 'on at Goodw, od, she ought to win here; but wa cannot believe that Lord Coventry would have openly declared her to be a bad 'tin if she were net. His lordship may be as fond of turf diplo macy in a legitimate way as any one, but we cannot believe him guilty of deliberate falsehood or chicanery. Time alone will tell. _ (From the Weekly Times.) I shall stand or fall by the CALIsTA COLT as the winner, next to whom I have the most fancy for Beatrix and Myrtle, (From the Age and Pilot.) We will take to beat the field—. GRATITUDE and W.

At the Liverpool County Court, on Thursday, there was tried, before Mr J. S. Blair, the judge, and a jury, the action of Branson v. Heath, which was brought to recover possession of the manuscript of a drama, entitled "Lillian Trafford," or its value. Mr Wilson appeared for the plain tiff; Mr Cobb for the defendant. Mr Wilson said the plaintiff in this case was Mr Wm. Scholes Branson, lessee and manager of the Adelphi Theatre. and the defendant was Mr Theodore Heath, manager of the Colosseum Theatre, and licensed victualler of Liverpool. It was an action to recover either the manuscript of a drama written by and. belonging to the plaintiff, entitled "Lillian Trafford," or the sum of £lO, the value of it. The simple question the jury had to decide was, had the plaintiff a right to the manuscript, and was it detained by the defendant ? If the MS. were given up to the plaintiff the damage sustained would, on the payment of the costs, be reduced to a mere nominal amount. The plaintiff was for merly a prefessional actor, aad in 1861 was engaged by the defendant to perform at his theatre. 1-,lr Heath, knowing that the plaintiff was an occasional composer of dramas, ask d him if, during his engagement, he could produce any novelty. The plaintiff replied that ho was then engaged on a drama that would, he thought, be of more than ordinary interest. The drama being finished, it was played for 18 successive performing nights during the plaintiff's engage ment, and it was considered to be a very successful pro duction. From time to time the plaintiff wanted to know what Mr Heath intended to pay him for a copy of the piece, and on the last night of his engagement he went to that gentleman and requested to receive some remuneration. Mr Heath was at that time in the money-taking place; he had a great 'deal to do ; and, after some discussion, he agreed to give Mr Branson £2, when the manuscript was hauled over for the purpose of a copy being taken. Mr Branson was about to proceed to Aberdeen to fulfil an engagement there, and the arrangement was that the manuscript should be left with Mr Heath to take a copy from, the original to be returned to him. Now the jury would have to say whether Mr Heath merely purchased a copy of the drama for £2, or whether he gave that sum for the original manuscript. Mr Branson had written several times to Mr Heath to have the manuscript returned, but possibly this action would never have been brought had not Mr Heath in the early part of the year advertised the drama as his property and for sale, when Mr Branson thought it necessary to vindicate his right to the property. It was not the question whether the manuscript was worth £lO or lOs ; all they had to s iy was —did it rightfully belong to the plaint;ff. In accordance with the suggestion made by his Honour, it was decided that the verdict should be for the plaintiff, the manuscript should be given up, and the damages re duced to a merely nominal amount. The plaintiff, having corroborated the statement of his advocate, said he wrote two characters in the drama espe cially for himself, for ho appeared in the drama as the t win brothers. (A laugh ) He made a charge of £3 for a copy of the manuscript, but todi. £3. Saw an adverisement in the Era that the piece was for sale, and he then thought it was time to bring an action. Had received as much as three guineas for copies of piccus written by him, and as little as 38s. In cross •examination the witness said the piece had a sensation scone in it, Mr Heath might have registered the drama, but it was nevertheless witness's property. Mr Henry Franklin, theatrical agent, prove' causing the insertion of an advertisement in the Era stating that the piece called " Lillian Trafford" was for sale, and that the sole property in it belonged to Mr Theodore Heath. The piece was mere valuable through having been performed for three weeks, as it was stamped with populari y. Mr Cobb, for the defence, said that Mr Heath had pur chared the manuscript, and he had registered the piece and got it licensed. Mr Branson was in very needy circum stances at the time he received the £2, and Mr Heath was very kind to him. Were there any real grounds for the action, it would have been brought long ago, and the plain tiff would not have allowed so much time to elapse. The piece was written for Mr Heath, and was his 'sole property. It had been per formed at the theatre in Hull, and on Mr Branson threatening an ae.ion against the manager of that establishment, Mr Heath wrote him a letter complaining of his audacity in claiming the pieco as his property after the writer had paid for it, and trusting that he should hear no more of his "impudent bombast." The defendant was called, and said he asked the plaintiff on one occasion if he was not good at " hashing" a I iece, and if so, what would he write him one for, as witness had a fine water scene used in the representation of the " Pirate of Savanna," which he wished to introduce ? The plaintiff replied that he had no rehearsals, that witness had been very kind to him, that it would be pastime to write such a piece, and that he would make no charge. Witness told him he could introduce a rock in the scene, make the " heavy" man throw the leading lady from it into the water, while he himself might, if he thought fit, jump in after her and save her. (Laughter.) Witness named the title of the piece, and it ran for three weeks. Mr Branson took the sensation part, but witness believed that he broke down. (Laughter.) Mr Branson asked one night if £2 would bo too much to give him for the piece, and witness said " certainly not," and handed over that amount: Mr Branson afterwards wished witness to return the manuscript, and offered to give him a sovereign if he would do so. Declined to do so, as he had got blocks specially for the piece. and asked what did Mr Branson want the manuscript for ? He replied that it might be of use to him on his benefit nights, and witness said ho might play the piece on such occasions, and he would lend him his woodcuts. Benjamin Stoddart and another witness named Barford were examined, and they stated that they were playing at Mr Heath's theatre in 1861. They heard the plaintiff say ho was writing a drama for Mr Heath, Mr Stoddart and Mr Heath also stated that the plaintiff on one occasion at Mr Squire Greenwood's applied for permission to play " Lillian Trafford?' His Honour left it to the jury to say whether there had ben an absolute transfer of the property to the defendant, or whether the £2 was given merely for a copy. The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £lO, that sum to be reduced to Is on the manuscript being given up. The costs of witnesses were allowed. The Gazette de France announces that the Duke de la itochefoucald-Dondeauville died the day beforo yes terday at his Chateau of Arrnaiuvilliers, in his 79th year. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MADAME ROLAND.—Among the victims of the French Revolution there is scarcely one who has excited such compassionate interest as Madame Roland. Her beauty. her great talents, her high character and pure patriotism, the influence she exercised upon the more mo derate and respectable section of the republicans, the forti tude with which she bore the sorrows of her imprisonment, and the intrepidity with which she met her tragic fate— all have contributed to render her an object of attraction and pity. She stands forth among her contemporaries as a fair representative of what was best in the party that overthrew the ancient monarchy. In the prejudices of the party she fully shared, and her memoirs speak df Louis XVI. and of his political intentions in terms which history has certainly not ratified. But, in the gene rally noble aims of the Girondists, and in their utter abhorrence of the excesses of Robespierre and his crew, she also fully shared ; and when her friends fell before that Nemesis of successful agitators—the necessity of governing in the face of agitators more extreme than themselves — their fall bore her with them in a common ruin. Able and, for the most part, upright men, had they all possessed her energy and courage, it is possible they might have made a more e.ffdctuel stand than they did. Be that as it may, few nobler deaths than hers were the result of their want of practical governing power.— Me Reader, MEDITERRANEAN HOTEL COMPANY (LIMITED.) —The poll demanded by Mrs. Parr on the question, as to the passing of the accounts of the late directors, took place to-day, when there were recorded, in favour of the resolu tion that these accounts be passed, 616 votes ; and in favour of Mrs. Parr's amendment, 33 votes. The accounts were therefore passed by a majority of 683 votes, The Brest journals announce the departure from that port of the frigate Sybille, with a convoy of emigrants for the French colony of New Caledonia, in the Pacific. The Sybille has already made three voyages with emigrants, many of whom have since married young wo men brought up by public charity in France, and who had voluntarily gone out. Those females received dowries from the Empress, and are so well satisfied with their lot that several have written to Paris to induce their former com panions to follow. Regular communications have been established between Port-de-France, the chief town of the colony, and Sydney in Australia. MINERAL WATERS.—The beneficial Effects of mineral waters are generally admitted, but the cause of their efficiency is declared by the best practitioners to be unknown. The only means as yet employed to solve the mystery has been chemical analysis; and when a chemist has discovered a milligram of iodine or some other substance in a spring, its efficacy is immediately attributed to that substance, although it has been hundreds of times administered in much larger doses without any visible effect. In a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, Dr. Scoutetten endeavours to show that the real activi.y of mineral waters is owing to their electricity. Imbued with this idea he at first attempted to discover traces of elec tricity in mineral springs by means of a gold-leaf electro scope, but without success. Continuing his experiments,he found the confirmation of Becquerel's theory, viz., that the earth in contact with a sheet of water manifests electricity ; and also that when the latter is impregnated with air, it takes a quantity of positive electricity, while the earth is negative. The same is the case with sea water, but all mineral springs aro negative with regard to the earth. By the aid of Nobili's galvano-meter, which is founded on the principle of the deviation of the needle under tho influence of a galvanic current, Dr Scoutetten found that, if a mineral water be brought into impel feet contact with common aerated water by means of a porous diaphragm, and if platinum elec trodes Le used a regular pile is formed, and the galvano-mete► shows the mineral water to be negative, and the common one positive. Extending these experiments to the - human body ho found that mineral waters determine a current always passing from the water to the patient; they are therekte negaiive with respect to the latter, and the galvanometer in their case marks 70, 80, and as much as 90 degrees. Hence Dr Scoutettin explains the efficacy of mineral springs by the three following propositions-1. That mineral waters all determine phenomena of excitation owing to the electricity they develop in contact with the human body ; 2. That the) exercise a therapeutic action, which varies according to the nature of the mineralising elements; and 3. That they oc casion a topical action which provokes erui , tions on the skin. REGENERATION OF BONE.—In a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, Dr. Sedillot examines the influence of the vital functions on the structure and form of the organs. Without entering into the strict:} professional part of the paper, we will glean a few parti culars which may appear interesting to the general reader. Dr Sedillot states that if, of the two bones which constitute the leg or the arm, one of them be partly cut away, and not afterwards reproduced by the periosteum, the other bone increases in size so as to acquire a volume equal to that or the two bones taken together. This phenomenon is parti cularly evident in the case of dogs whose tibia has been cut away. In these animals the peron sous is almost filiform, and scarcely measures the fifth part of the thickness of the other bone, and yet it soon acquires the volume of the lat ter, and may even exceed it. In one of Dr Sedillot's expe• riments the peronssus which, in its normal state, had a diameter not exceeding three millimetres, increased to ten at the point where the tibia had been cut away, and the same is observable in the cubitus and radius when one of these bones has been partially removed. These facts, however singular, are easily explained. Whenever our locomotive organs are kept in great actiyit) they acquire greater size and strength. Thus the right side of the body is generally more developed than the opposite one, and in left-handed persons the reverse is the case. Boxing and fencing masters have their right arms much more voluminous than the left. Motion, in fact, accelerates innervation and circulation, and renders nutrition more active. The density of the osseous tissue is equally im portant. All animals that have to support considerable and prolonged efforts have very compact bones, nearly approach ing to the density of ivory—an observation which is con firmed on inspecting the skeletons of several horses cele trated for their swiftness, which are preserved at the Ana tomical Museum of Alfort. All perforations and other operations on the living bone cause the formation of new strata of bone. A HOUSEBREAKER SHOT AT BIRMINGHAM.— Yesterday, at thb Public Office, Birmingham, a man named John smith, was charged with breaking into the warehouse of Mr J. Randall, jeweller, Hukley-street, and stealing 14K.z. of gold and 5s worth of postage stamps; total value, £2B. The prisoner was suffering from the effects of a gunshot wound, and had to be brought from the. General Hospital where he had lain some days, to appear before the magistrates. A few nights ago the prisoner and three other suspicious-looking fellows were seen loitering about the prosecutor's premises; and Mr. Green, the landlord of a neighbouring publichouse, and his man Grice, set themselves to watch their movements. Grico armed himself with a gun loaded with blank cartridge, but did not perceive in the hurry that the ramrod was lasi in the barrel. After watching the men for some time the) saw the prisoner coming out of the warehouse. They callee upon him to stop, but he made off at the top of his speed. Grice pursued him, threatened to shoot him if ho did not stop. The prisoner did not heed the threat, and at last Glick fired. The ramrod struck the prisoner and passed througi, his thigh, but fortunately the wound i. flitted 'was not of c dangerous character. The prisoner iinnu.diat, ly rose hl.ll showed fight and was only secured alter being knockee down with the gun. The prisoner's companions escaped. Tire quotation of gold at Parts is about 3 per milk pm., an C. the short exchange on London is 2.5.32 j per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng - lioh Mint price of £. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-ICths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. SECOND EDITION.

The dreadful nature of the circumstances in connexion with the deaths of the sufferers atti acted a large number of persons, notwith standing the early hour fixed for the performance of the sad and mournful ceremony. The bodies of the father and children were placed in neat elm coffins, bearing plates with suitable inscriptions, and were furnished by the parish, at the expense of which the funeral was carried out. The friends and relatives of Cook and his children having assembled at the cottage at Old Windsor-green, the scene of the murder and suicide, a fune ral procession was firmed, the body of Cook, with the coffin covered with the usual pall, being carried first, on the shoulders of four of the undertaker's men. Next came the four little coffins containing the corpses of the poor children, each covered with a snow white cloth and borne on the shoulders of eight young men, selected from the village. These were followed by the relatives of the deceased, in black, the police-constable George Lovell, who discovered the murder, also taking part in the procession, which was followed by a large number of the villagers and spectators. It was a sad and touching spectacle which the mournful procession presented as it wound along the road in the bright autumn morning, on its way from the cottage so lately the scene of such an accumulation of horrors to the Old Windsor churchyard,where the remains of Cook and his children were to be interred. The churchyard is about a mile from the house of Cook, and was reached about half-past nine, when the body of the murderer, by the kindness of the amiable vicar, the Rev J. Blunt, whose Christian feeling of charity prompted him to do all that a minister of the Gospel could to spare the feelings of the relatives, was taken through the west door into the body of the church ; the coffin contain ing the bodies of the murdered children being taken round the church to the great door on the south side of the sacred building, where the Rev. J. Blust,having previously met the procession, commenced reading the Burial Service,the coffins being also placed in the body of the church, while the service was continued. On leaving the church the coffin containing the body of Cook was taken to and phiced in a grave or hole which had been dug in an obscure corner at the west ex tremity of the churchyard near the wall which separates the graveyard from the road. There it was deposited without any ceremony, while the four little elm coffins of the girls were placed in one common grave, over which the remainder of the service was performed by the vicar, the relatives and crowd standing round and listening most attentively to this beautiful and touching service, while many an eye was wet at the remembrance of the shocking fate which had cut short the tender and innocent lives of these four poor innocents. Towards the conclusion of the service the vicar briefly be.t earnestly addressed the crowd around the grave, and in doing so remarked that though he did not wish to say anything to blacken the dreadful deed, he would exhort them to pray earnestly to God, who, of His great mercy, would grant them true repentance for their past sins, and he begged the young men whom he saw around him not to play with sin, for if persisted in it would lead them to the depths of hell; and finally concluded the ceremony in the usual manner, otter which the crowd of villagers and spectators left the churchyard, evidently much impressed with the very ferven address they had just listened to. ANOTHER GUNPOWDER, EXPLOSION AND HOR RIBLE DEATH.—An inquest was held on Saturday at the White Hart Inn, Cats&ld, by Mr Kell, coroner, re specting the death of Wm. Wait, through an explosion at Messrs Lawrence and Sons' gunpowder mills, Battle. Sus sex, which occurred on the previous Thursday. The de ceased had been in the employ of the firm 30 years, and on 29th of September was engaged with another man tamed John Chapman in putting down some flooring in one of tde press-houses. Orders had been given that the building should be well watered, so that any stray gun powder which might have escaped in the manufacture should he rendered uninflammable ; but this necessary precaution appears only to have been partially carried out. Chapman in pressing up one of the joists used a cross steal mattock, instead of as ho should have done a wooden lever, which was the cause of the explosion, as the instrument came in contact with a nail or some thing else, causing a spark and igniting the gun powder underneath the flooring which escaped through the crevices. l hapman was blown on to the Brooks, a distance of three or four rods, receiving extensive injuries, and is still lingering. The poor man Watt was hurled on to the bank of the river, and was severely burnt on the surface, and injured in nearly every part of his body, and notwith standing the treatment of Mr Cruickshank, the surgeon, expired on the following night. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." ELOFEMENT.—In the neighbourhood of the Great Heath of Maryborough lived a well-to.do farmer, named Mr The beauty of his daughter, Miss L. O'K--, was, we believe, an object of much ad. miration, especially to those who, conjecturing the capabi lities of her father's purse, knew that all her recommenda tions.were not comprised in the mere transitory attractions of personal charms. Au individual, whose business it was to teach the young idea how to shoot, was himself shot by. Cupid. Carried away by the loveliness of the fair Mis O'K—, he resolved in turn to carry her away, which re solution he put into action on the night of Friday, the 23d alt., when both of them took French leave of the Heath, and subsequently the train from Portarlington. Their whereabouts at present we do not know.—Leinaer Express. HOUNDS IN THE 17TH CE2;TURY.-01:143 of the earliest packs of foxhounds on record was that kept by the then Lord Arundell of Wardour, between the years 1690 and 1700 ; and the family are in_ possession of memo randa proving that they occasionally hunted them from Wardour CaElle, in Wiltshire, and at Braemore, near Salisbury, now the seat of Sir Edward Hulse, but then the occasional residence of Lord Arundell. These hounds were kept by the Arundeds until about the year 1745, when the sixth Lord Arundell died. After his decease they were kept by his nephew, the Earl of Castlehaven, by whom and his successor they were hunted until the death of the last Ear of that name, about the year 1782. The pack was then sold to the celebrated Mr Hugo Meynoll, of Quornodon-hall, Leicestershire; and it is probable that they contributed largely to the establishment of that gentleman's foxhunting fame, and have been the progenitors of some of the Quorn hounds of the present day.— Once a Week. THE MISSING YOUNG CHORISTER BELONGING TO ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—Upon instituting in. quiries yesterday morning at the Vicar's Choral of St. Pant's Cathedral, we were informed, notwithstanding the informa tion given to all the inspectors of the metropolitan police of the disappearance of young King, one of the youthful choristers, and the offer by the Dean and Chapter of St. Peal's of a reward of £lO for any information as to what may have become of him, not the slightest clue bad been obtained up to 11 o'clock. It appears he was present at the morning service on Saturday last. since which time neither h's family nor his friends have heard anything of him. Many rumours are ell 3at as to his supposed abduc% Lion, slid as he was a lad of great talent and promise in his profession, it is conjectured that he has been induced to leave London by other than disinterested parties. The occurrence has occasioned great grief on the part of hia friends and the authorities connected with the Ca,bedral. MUTINY IN THE MERSEY.—Yesterday en Ami Rican packet, th e City of Brooklyn, comm an d e d by C a pt a i n %en Cousene, which left the Mersey the same morning, put back into the river and eignallei fcr the police. An inspector and four men went aboz.r3, and the captain then rave 12 of the crew of intee custody, charged with refusing t o obey orders. One of their number, Andrew Petersen, a Dane, was also charged with having stabbed the third mate, Jas. Johnson, in the thigh with a pocket knife. It appeared that Petersen refused to obey an order of the second mate and on the third mate enforcing it Petersen threw him down and stabbed him. The arm were all new hands, unknown to the (facers. 100 i cool 101 h f
