Mr. Eyre having been committed to take his trial, the Committee of this Fund earnestly INVITE SUBSCRIP TIONS to defray the great expenses to which he will thereby be subjected, and as a protest against the proceed ings of •the so-called Jamaica Committee. Civil proceed ings are also pending in the Court of Queen's Bench, en tailing very heavy expenditure. With reference to Mr. Charles Burton's letter to The Times of the 25th inst., stating that " it is notorious that sums vastly beyond all possible costs are at his disposal," in other words, that pecuniary assistance is not needed on account of the vast sums subscribed for the defence, the Committee desire to state that there is not a shadow of foundation for such an assertion. It is a well-known matter of fact that it would have been absolutely impos sible for Mr. Eyre in any way to have met the expenses of the civil and criminal prosecutions that have been carried on so persistently against him for the last two s-ears but for the generous aid of the public.

The acquittal of the PRESIDENT, at Washington, has been followed, as was anticipated, by the resig nation of Mr. STANTON. The much-vexed ques tion who should rule over the War-office has found its solution, and even Mr. STANTON'S arbitrary and obstinate disposition has been forced to yield to cir cumstances. The office to which he clung so des perately is a worthless possession to him, now that the PRESIDENT'S supremacy is assured, and the Radical leaders are defeated in their plans. He was evidently only waiting for the issue of the trial before the Senate Court to abandon a position no longer tenable on his own terms. The second and third Articles of Impeachment, on which the final votes of the Court were taken two days since, referred exclusively to the removal of STAN TON, and the appointment ad interim of THOMAS ; yet by a turn of fortune's wheel to-day we have the news that Mr. STANTON has resigned the Secretaryship of War, and General THOMAS is acting as Secretary of War ad interim. The battles with which the War-office has had lately to do have chiefly concerned its own rulers, but we may hope that there is an end, for the present at least, of such unseemly contention. The next great struggle will be for the Presidency, and we may hope that wiser and more moderate counsels will prevail than at one time threatened. The Impeach ment trial, as the event has proved, has been a for tunate thing, since it has inflicted a severe blow on the extreme and intemperate section of the Repub lican party, which has wrought so much mischief within the last few years. If STEVENS and BUTLER had carried all before them, acid WADE had been placed in Mr. JOHNSON'S vacant seat, the effects on the coming elections would probably have been most disastrous. Tee leading Radicals, indeed, have latterly made no secret of their primary motive in pressing on the Impeachment. It was not only that they wished to get rid of the man who would neither be bribed nor threatened into con cession, nor was it merely to punish him for his conspicuous secession from their ranks. It was to secure the interest of the Presidency in favour of the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1868. Radical candidate at the coming election, which one of the most prominent members of the party rcently avowed - was indispensable to them. With Mr. JOHNSOn at the White House there was no hope that pledges would be given, promises mode, places reserves ], or any of the official machinery set to work which usually plays so conspicuous a part in the grad four years' struggle. Having made this confeagion and lost the game, the Radical party will start in the autumnal contest under an avowed disadvantage. In the United States, like the rest of the, world, success is very apt to be virtue and misfortune blame; and a good many persons will be influenced, perhaps unconsciously, by the vote of the Senate Court. Had the trial ended the other Ray, and had Mr. WADE been installed at the White House, we should have seen some strange proceedings if we are to judge from his own declarations. It is not sur prising, with his plans prepared and his own eleva tion in prospect, that Mr. WADE should have been among those who found Mr. JOHNSON " Guilty." The Southern States have now room for hope, since their friends are not altogether overriden, and Mr. JOHNSON still holds the helm ; but there are troubles still in the way, and many difficulties, we fear, must be overcome before the STEVENS and BUTLER fac tion find themselves powerless for evil. The Jamaica Committee have been showing such energy in the prosecution of their cause that it is certainly most requisite for the friends of Mr. EYRE to bestir themselves. Mr. BUXTON'S famous letter has been commented on in the House of Com mons, and no wonder, for it was a most mischievous effusion, and worded so cautiously that it was far more calculated to do mischief than a more decided epistle which brought direct charges against the accused. The worst part of it was that passage in which he alluded to the " vast sums at Mr. EYRE'S disposal," because it was open to the interpretation that he prejudged the matter in order to stop those who might be eager to help one placed in straits, though no fault of his own. The remark came with all the worse grace from one who had himself been so liberal in helping the other side. The cheque for three hundred pounds, which Mr. BUXTON thought fit to bestow upon the Jamaica Committee, did away with a great deal of the impression that would otherwise have been made by his considerate language towards Mr. EYRE, and his hopes that the present Govern ment might undertake his defence, and so on. Facts are btubborn things, and the most elaborate harangues cannot do away with them. Perhaps some blame must be given to the recipientsof this donation for the great fuss they made about it, and for their eagerness to publish the letters sent to them by the same hand. On the whole it is fortunate that they should have . done so, because it has shown very clearly the spirit that animates the course of the prosecutors. It is not at all in accordance with English notions of honour and justice that a man should be sacrificed to suit the tactics of a preju diced set, who have set reason at defiance, and whose factious feeling has no bounds. We do not give much for the philosophy or the philanthropy that can thus devote themselves to the attain ment of so despicable an object as that of ruining a man who has done his best in the service of his country because the absurd notions of these virtues do not accord with the spirited course that befits the Governor of an English colony ; he must, forsooth, be made the victim of their prejudices, and the friends of those justly condemned for their crimes in Jamaica are to have the pleasure of knowing that their wrongs have been revenged by the discomfiture of one who outwitted their designs and crushed their murderous attempt. Let us hope that English law is not so perverse as to suit the views of these maniac minded schemers ; and we may rest assured that English spirit will not allow some part of their work at least to be accomplished, for sufficient subscriptions will flow in to enable Mr. EYRE'S', Defence Fund to meet the emergencies that may arise. It is worth while to notice the change that came over Earl RUSSELL during the course of years. An extract taken from a speech of the noble earl's in 1851, addressed to the House of Commons on the subject of the rebellion in " Ceylon," shows that he adopted a tone in accordance with the sense and spirit which should distinguish an English Minister. He distinctly stated that the Government believed they ought to place confidence in a governor when they found him zealously performing his duty, and endeavouring to preserve the colony in allegiance to her MAJESTY; and he added, " We ought not to threw any censure upon him, a question upon which, if there t could be any difference of opinion, he was much more likely to judge rightly from the circumstances before him, with the assistance of his adviser." How different is this language to the words employed by the noble Earl when he received the deputation on the subject of the Jamaica rebellion. We may also observe that Mr. CARDWELL'S despatch, of June, 1866, states that, concerning the proclamation of " Martial Law, under the Island Act, the Government agree that the Council had good reasons for the advice which they gave, and that the Governor was well justified in acting upon that advice." What becomes then of all the fuss and ferment of the Jamaica Committee upon this point, and the scruples they profess to feel as to the validity of the course taken to put down the rebellion ? The fact is, that they will not read what does not suit their purpose, and take one side of the question, if even that was done with a bitterness and a constancy that cannot be surpassed. Nothing can justify the treatment which Mr. EYRE received at the hands of I the Liberal Government, and it will remain a lasting I disgrace to them that they sacrificed a brave and lefficient servant of the Crown to the clamour of a faction, and the prejudices of fanaticism. The more we consider their course the more un worthy does it seem, and the act of suspending his authority before the Commission of Inquiry was a great piece of injustice, seeing it put him wrong before that important affair came off. It virtu ally condemned him unheard, and he thus lost ad vantages he never could regain. Surely, in all conscience, Mr. EYRE had suffered enough, and more than enough, already to satisfy the most enthusiastic votary of rebellion, or the post devoted negropholist that existed ; but no. Mr. MILL and some others think diffe rently, and accordingly we have this prosecution continually before us. Mr. EYRE is indeed leniently dealt with, he has done his best, and his reward is persecution and imprisonment in the eyes of some high-minded individuals. There is no doubt that he will be acquitted, but that will not make him amends for the harass he is compelled to endure; and, besides, we are told that if this case fails another will be begun on different grounds. If this should prove true let the constituents of those who figure so prominently in the affair demand from them the resignation of the trust that they are abusing, for we defy them to show that any body of electors can approve of such a course as that they are following. Even if another . trial be not entered upon, we would suggest that, for the honour of Liberal principles, not a single member of the Jamaica Commitee &mould be ) allowed to sit in the new Parliament, Public opinion may be outraged very far, but the day of reckoning will come for all that, and Mr. Evn's cause may yet be vindicated in a manner and with an effect that his detractors little dream of, so in fatuated are they with the sense of their own judgment and the idea of their peculiar notions gaining the ascendancy. Nearly forty years have elapsed since the Royal Geographical Society was first formed, and during that time its earliest members have lived to see most marvellous changes. They have witnessed an extension of geographical knowledge so rapid as to have exceeded their most sanguine expectations, and a development of science such as could never have been expected. If we compare the geographi cal science of to-day with the geographical science of 1830, we shall find cause for congratulation on the achievements of the past, and hope for the future. Steam, that mighty agent in so many great and beneficial changes, has greatly facilitated the diffusion of geographical knowledge by the vast stimulus it has given to travelling, while the ad vance of education has had something to do with the increased and increasing desire to know all about foreign countries and remote parts of the world. The wars and revolutions which have happily spared ourselves have been busy in other parts of the globe, and every reader of a newspaper necessarily picks up a good deal of information which his grandfather would only have acquired by direct and laborious study. How many people of ordinary education knew the exact positions of the Crimea and Odessa in 1830 ? How many could have readily pointed to Delhi and Lucknow on the map ? How many could at once have answered, when asked in which of the United States to find Rich mond or Charleston, Chicago "or Detroit ? Now adays we know more about the interior of Africa than our predecessors did of its coasts, and every day, thanks to the adventurous pioneers of civili sation, our knowledge is growing and spreading. Under these circumstances the annual meeting of the Geographical Society, held on Monday at Bur lington House, was full of gratifying reminiscences, and the report of the Council gave satisfactory evidence of the valuable assistance rendered by the Society in the diffusion of knowledge and the en couragement of enterprise. LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, May 27. The Council of State remains obstinate. After meeting again on Monday, and discussing the reduction in the amount of the loan recommended by the Budget Commis sion, it was decided to maintain the original amount. It is now stated that the report of M. Gressier upon the loan will be presented to the Corps L4gislatif to-morrow, and that the report of M. Busson-Billault upon the ordinary and extraordinary Budgets of 1869 will be forthcoming next week. No doubt they will give rise to a very warm discussion. M. Thiers is, I hear, preparing a great speech, denouncing the financial policy of the Govern ment, and re-opening the discussion on free trade. We are expecting also a lively debate in the Senate on the Public Meetings Bill. This measure; like the one on the Press, was very much criticised in the Lower House because it was not sufficiently liberal. In the Upper House it will be criticised for being dangerously liberal. The Constitutionncl, speaking, no doubt, with the voice of the Government, appeals to the Senate to-day not to reject the bill, but to support the Emperor in his policy, which is described as neither Radical nor reactionary. The belief that a general election is at hand strengthens. Politicians in the departmentof the Seine—in other words, Paris—are already preparing for a very sharp fight. It is uuderstood that though Prince Napoleon goes to Constantinople, he will not take Gallicia on the way. General Tarr was to have met him, but the visit of a prince of such strong Polish sympathies to any part of Poland excited such disquietude at csrtain European Courts, that in order to avoid arousing their jealousy his Imperial Highness will keep clear of that country. The quarrel between the Algerine Archbishop and Governor appears to become more bitter every day. On the one hand, Marshal M`Mahon sent to the Emperor a number of letters from Arabs complaining that their chil dren had been baptised against the parents' wishes; on the other. hand, Mgr. Lavigerie presented letters from Arabs praying him to send Christian missionaries to them. There is now talk of the Archbishop excommunicating the Governor ; but I suppose the quarrel will hardly be per mitted to go so far as that. It was rumoured to-day that the Archbishop had triumphed, and that M. Belie, formerly Minister of Agriculture, had been appointed governor in the Marshal's place. On the other hand, it is stated that the Archbishop has had a very cold reception from the Empress. The Tunis difficulty is in a fair way of settlement. Lord Stanley has obtained terms on behalf of the English creditors with which he . professes himself con tent ; and the Italian Government, though by no means satisfied, will now in all probability give way, since hitherto itlas acted in concert with England. There is a rumour that Count Cambray-Digny is about to raise a new loan for Italy, and that it will be contracted, not at Paris, but at Berlin. If this be true, it will be a marked proof of the growing estrangement between France and Italy, and the increasing rapprochement between the Courts of Florence and Berlin. Prince Achille Murat and his bride are starting for Mingrelia, where they will spend several months on the princely domains of the lady's family. The Prince is quite an Anglophile. His household is entirely English ; and if his grandfather, the splendid cavalry officer and unfortunate King of Naples, were to return to this world, he would be not a little astonished to find the • language of his ancient foes de rigueur in the house of his descendant. The second Monday ball given by the Empress was attended by between 800 and 000 persons. Among the guests were Prince Napoleon, who had a long talk with the Emperor about his (the Prince's) journey to the East, his wife, the Princess Clotilde, the Princess Mathilde, the Prince and Princess Metternich, Madame Rouher and her daughter, Madame de la Valette, who came express from Sercey to reassure the Emperor respecting the health of the Minister of State, which has caused much anxiety. There was also a large number of English and American ladies. Mr. Hubert Jerningham, who is attached to the Embassy, and has, I believe, appeared as an author, took theplace of the Marquis de Caux—who is in England with his fiancée, the diva Patti—and danced the cotillon with Mdlle. Jurien de la Gravibre, daughter of the admiral. The heat was most oppressive. There has been much talk the last few days of a quarrel between a well-known journalist and a nobleman. At the Exposition dcs Beaux Arts this year there is a picture of the execution of Marshal Ney. In describing this picture, M. Rochefort, editor of the Figaro, expressed his opinion of the marshal with tolerable freedom. Thereupon the marshal's descendant, the Prince of Moskowa, sent a challenge to M. Rochefort. The latter gentleman has de clined to accept it, inasmuch as it is an encroachment upon the right of free historical discussion. There is no doubt that he is right. M. Rochefort will in consequence of this wise decision be free to devote all his efforts to bringing out his new journal, La Lanterne. The first number appears on. Saturday. The brilliant weather we have had lately has produced a most satisfactory effect upon the corn market. price of wheat fell 101. in forty-eight hours. The Berlin official journals positively deny the state ment of the Neue Pixie Freese and Morning Pest, that Dord Stanley had written a diplomatic circular to the forygn Governments with the view of bringing abotit a general disarmament. There are no signs of any such measure being taken. The report is equally denied that the British Government had advised the Prussian to restrain the discussions of the Customs Parliament to.non-political subjects. Count Bismarck has declared that nothing will prevent Prussia from receiving the South German States into the Confederation, should they desire to enter. Herr Bamberger, the member of the Customs Parlia ment who moved the Unity Address, has written a letter to his constituents, in which he states that Count Bismarck is strongly opposed to a war with France, and views such a contingency as a real calamity for civilisation, even though Prussia should win. Herr Bamberger adds that many persons blame the Minister for having accepted the line of the Mein, in order to avoid war with France two years ago, and for having neglected to declare war against France on the Luxemburg question last year. Herr Barn berger does not share that opinion, but thinks that the Minister's moderation on those two occasions did himmore credit than the most skilful diplomacy would have done. He adds : " So long as it is not proved with mathematical precision that war will take place whatever happen s , our first duty is to avoid it, and to give a sufficient margin of time for delivering Europe from a state of things which exposes her to that danger." After the prorogation of the Customs Parliament twenty-six of the South German members drew up an address to their constituents, in which they stated that experience had sliew'n them it was not to the advantage of South Germany to enter the Confederation. The pre ponderancy given in the North to military projects must lead to the serious increase of taxation and arrest the moral and material progress of Germany. It was the duty of the South German States, while maintaining the most friendly relations with the Confederation, to pre serve their own autonomy. The Cretan insurgent council has held a meeting at which it was decided that unless Greece declared war against Turkey it was useless to carry on the insurrection. Four of the chiefs were to leave for Athens in a blockade runner, in order to ascertain the intentions of King George's Government. There is little probability that he will take such an extreme step as the Cretans desire, and it is therefore highly probable that the insurrection will shortly come to an end. The chiefs have asked the advice of England, and there is no doubt that this will be in favour of submission. The Turks have constructed a succession of blockhouses over the island ; those towards the plain of Omalos are strongly built, and capable of securely holding about 800 men equipped. The advantage of these small detachments of armed and dispersed soldiery is obvious, as in the event of a riot in a village a few soldiers can at once be thrown out and stop the disturbance. Some time ago the punishment of death was abolished for all crimes except high treason, and corporal punish ment was substituted. Latterly, this too has been done away with, and twenty years of imprisonment with hard labour was made the penalty for murder and other serious crimes. The change has had the effect of increasing those crimes, and the Government has therefore resorted to a subterfuge by which they were made mimes against the sovereign, and tried as such. Thereupon, a well-known journalist, named Aksakow, has protested against this abuse, and for protesting he has received a warning —his second. This, together with the unconstitutional device of the Government, has so disgusted him that he contem plates abandoning his profession and leaving Russia. It is asserted that the Grand Duchess Maria, only daughter of the Czar, is to - be affianced. to the Crown Prince of Saxe-Weimar, who is now at St. Petersburg. -The Grand Duchess is the Czar's fourth child, and was born Oct. .17, 3853. The Crown Prince, who is grandson of the Emperor Paul, and therefore a cousin of the Grand Duchess, was born July 31, 1844. A general telegraphic congress is about to be held at Vienna. It will be proposed to reduce the tariff on despatches between Italy and Germany to 4fr., and to lower the rate in Italy itself very considerably, so that a telegram of fifteen words will only cost lfr., and 10c. for every adlitional word. No doubt our own telegraphic companies in connection with Italy and the East will feel the full benefit of this reduction. The idea enter tained some time ago in Italy, and which had taken the form of serious negotiations, of transferring all the ttlegraphs from the Government to private enterprise and, superintendence, apparo t9_be quite 4bps4pid, AMERICA.

NEW Ross.—The vote of Colonel Tottenham in favour of Lord Stanley's amendment on the Irish Church has caused same dissatisfaction among the Roman Catholic clergy, and at a public meeting it was decided to ask for an explanation of the gallant member's conduct. Canon Kenny, who presided, said that if the people of Ros% wished him to guide them, he would recommend them a representative in whom they might rely ; but " if he was to guide them, he must get his own way to a certain extent." LLOYD'S BONDS. A case of some interest to the holders of Lloyd's bonds has been disposed of by the Court of Chancery Appeal in Ireland. The Newry and Armagh Railway Company were authorised by their Act to borrow on mortgage or bonds £78,000, and had fully availed themselves of their power to borrow on statutable bonds. Seven teen of these bonds, amounting to £11,760, were assigned to the 'lmperial Mercantile Credit Asso ciation, who in December 1866, when interest was due to the amount of £1,175, filed a petition through their liquidator, their company being ordered to be wound up, and obtained an order from the Vice-Chancellor, declaring the bonds chargeable on the traffic receipts, and that all such bondholders were entitled to a special lien on the tolls and other property of the company in priority to other creditors. A receivership which has been appointed in another suit was extended for the benefit of the peti titioners. The railway company had issued Lloyd's bonds to the extent of £219,000 beyond their borrowing powers, and also bills of exchange to the amount of £70,850. Some of the holders of these bonds and bills of exchange recovered judgments upon them, and converted them into statutable mortgages. The Joint-Stock Dis count emptily held such mortgages to the amount of £22,800, and by their official liquidator—they also being in process of winding-up—filed a petition in May 1866, for a receiver over the tolls, and the prayer of the petition was granted. The receipts were found insufficient to pay the interest on the debts. The Mer cantile Credit Association submitted in their petition that the statutable mortgages obtained by the holders of Lloyd's bonds and of the bills of exchange were puisne to the statutable bonds which they hold themselves, and prayed to have the amount charged upon the bills of the com pany in priority to other conditions. The Lord Chancellor pointed out the distinction between the right of mortgagees and 'bondholders, which were definition in the 33rd section of the Act. It was not the intention of the Act to give bondholders, as such, any priority over judgment creditors. He therefore gave judg ment reversing the decree of the Vice-Chancellor, and dismissing the petition with costs. The Lord Justice of Appeal concurred in the decision, ruling that the bond holder had only a claim on the moneys of the company, while the mortgagee had in addition a claim on the tolls and traffic receipts. There are now, or very shortly will be, no fewer than eight vacant colonial bishoprics. The last resignation is that of Dr. Alford, Bishop of Victoria; Hong. Kong, who has held the see scarcely more than sufficiently long to go out and come back again. The bishop 'c of Mauritius has been vacant for some months ; the bbmopric of Labuan will be vacant in a fortnight ; the bishopric of New Zealand is virtually vacant, though Dr. Selwyn still holds it with his bishopric of Lichfield ; the bishopric of Grafton is vacant by the untimely death of Dr. Sawyer. The diocese of Westminster, British Colum bia, had a bishop assigned to it two years ago, but he has not been consecrated. Dr. Harding has resigned the bishopric of Bombay Vomit sine fructu defloruit sine luctu). Dunedin's bishop, consecrated two-and-a-quarter years ago, still continues to say " I go, sir," but goes not, finding high ritual services in England more pleasant than episcopacy in a primitive colony. The Church News speaks of the diocese of Natal as " vacant," though, as Bishop Colenso still fills it, this is a theological figment rather than a historical fact. On the other hand, " his Grace the Arch bishop of South Africa," as the News would call him, still remains in England, and absents himself from his own diocese in the vain endeavour to turn Bishop Coleus° out of his. Besides all these, there are a large number of colonial bishops who came to England last September to attend the Lambeth Conference, but have not yet found their way back to their sheep in the wilderness. Although Vice - Chancellor Giffard has denounced spiritualism as "monstrous nonsense," and its great apostle has come to grief in one of the most remarkable cases heard for very many years, the believers in its reality will doubtless take fresh courage from an extraordinary letter which has recently appeared in the New York, Round Table. The writer, who is a lady, confesses that she was connected with spiritualism before she was married ; that after she was married her husband, who was " highly scientific," refused to be a believer ; and that all her efforts to convert him were vain, because " she was no medium." Some time afterwards her husband died, and she had only one hope—that of communicating with him. She had told him to remember that she should call his spirit after death, and on the evening which followed the fatal event she was in company with three gentlemen, one of whom is described as " a medium," and every spiritual exertion was made to communicate with the deceased. " For four nights," says the writer, "we sat two hours at a time, with no signs of success. The fifth night I perceived a slight motion. The sixth, the little table under our fingers moved all round the large one, and this began per ceptibly to oscillate." Her companions soon afterwards left her, and the results of the first spiritual manifestation are given in detail. " I lay upon the sofa, with a drawing board on my knees, and a sheet of paper on that, with a pencil through a smaller board, hoping it would write or move. In about half an hour two very loud scratches sounded under the larger board. I exclaimed, 'My God ! is that you ? If so, scratch twice again.' Immediately two more loud scratches replied ; then six or seven more, and all was still. I went to bed ; heard ticking all round the room ; then a loud shuffling of .feet on the floor." On the following morning the scratch ing was continued, the curtains overhead were violently jerked, the board and pencil began to move rapidly, and it appeared to be impelled by electric shocks. The spirit was implored to write, and after some difficulty the word " love" was trace(l distinctly. The writer's hand then began to move of itself, and in a few days she wrote " a running hand (not mine) which goes with great velocity." Frequent communications were then made to her, which ended in her being told that she was not destined to bury herself, "but to pursue a bright and brilliant career, and to become a great writer and a great instrument in the spiritual cause." The correspondent of the Round Table concludes with a dissertation on the " singularly accurate parallel" presented by the progress of spiritualism to that of Christianity, believing that the parallel will be carried out to the end ; with this exception, however, that as all things advance in keeping with their epoch, most likely the progress will be in a geometrical ratio. Evidently the writer had not heard the result of the Home trial, or she would, perhaps, have found the " parallel" less accurate. The Dargan Testimonial is making satisfactory progress. Amongst the subscribers is the Duke of Lein ster, whose name is down for £lOO. It is stated that Lord Strathnairn, Commander in-Chief of the Forces in Ireland, will not return to Dublin in that capacity. The Yorkshire Post says a case of suicide, in volving also, it is supposed, one of murder, is reported from Selby. The body of a young man named Adamson has been found in the Derwent, near Bubwith, and there is good reason fcr the belief that he drowned himself after having made away, in a similar manner, with a young woman named Buttle, whom he was courting, and who is now missing. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident of a very remarkable character is reported from Lancaster. An in quest has been held in that town respecting the death of Robert Townley, - a youth aged 17 years. The deceased was a clerk in the employ of the Lancaster Banking Com pany, and it was a part of his duty to remain after the other clerks had left, at closing time, for the purpose of making the strong room secure. On Tuesday afternoon he stayed for this purpose, as usual. In the strong room there was a trapeze suspended from the roof, anC, the junior clerks were in the habit of amusing themselves by exercising upon it in their leisure time. Deceased was noted for his skill upon the trapeze. About two hours after closing time the cashier, who had been to dine, was surprised to find the hat of the deceased hanging in its usual place in the office. He ordered a search to be made, and on entering the strong room they found deceased hanging by the neck to a rope which had been fastened to one of the rings of the trapeze. He was quite dead. It appears that he was fond of practising on the rope, and often hung upon a noose by the chin. It is supposed that he was doing this on Tuesday, when the noose slipped against his throat and strangled him before he could take hold of the loose end of the rope and so release himself, &verdict. plivaidoutal datinuassituml. , . .

Lund, honoured this theatre with their presence. Their Royal Highnesses remained to the end of the performance, and were much pleased with the feats of the Imperial Japanese troupe. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at the conclusion of the performances personally congratulated Mr. Risley on his success. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY. +-- WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY IN CREMORNE GARDENS.—Jane Ander son, described as a widow, and Samuel Hole, were charged, the former with stealing a purse contain ing 16s. from the person of Mrs. Besie Fox, a married lady, residing at 13, Park-road, Chelsea, and the latter with being concerned with her in the felony. Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-row, defended Hole. Mrs. Fox said that a little after twelve last night she was with her husband in Cremorne Gardens, and was about to leave, when the female prisoner placed herself close to witness and tried her pocket. She told her husband, who was by her side, that the prisoner had robbed her, and as she did so the male prisoner came up' and put his hand on her aria• They removed away together in the crowd, and witness and her husband followed and gave theta both into custody. They resisted violently, but were locked up. Mr. Russell Fox corroborated his wife. Henry King, 333 I', proved taking Anderson into custody.

Mr. Smyth contended that his client was an in nocent man ; taking the woman for a gay lady be asked her to come with him and touched her arm, for which he was locked up. They were remanded till Tuesday, bail in £2 O being required for the man. THAMES. WILFUL DAMAGE. —EXTRAORDINARY CASE.--"' Frederick Ross, a man about thirty years of • age , who described himself as a boatswain's mate, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with wilfully and maliciously breaking a large sheet of plate glass in the shop window of Mr. Alfred Mellott, watch and ciockmaker, of 2, Cromber's-row, Commercial road. The prosecutor said that on Monday last the pri soner came to his shop and purchased a watch and chain for 355. On Tuesday the prisoner brought back the watch and chain, and asked him to return the money. He declined to do so. The prisoner abused him in a vile manner, and threatened him. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning he heard the breaking of glass, and he saw the prisoner conceal ing himself behind a cart. He seized the prisoner , who struck him on the shoulder, and said, Let me alone; I did not throw the stone." He strug gled with the - prisoner, and detained him until a police-constable arrived. The prisoner made use of a disgusting and blas phemous expression, and denied breaking the 0 10 in Mr. Pellott's window. The Prosecutor—You were running when I cola out, and hid behind a cart. John W. Harding, a boy, dwelling at No. 26, Sydney-street, Commercial-road, stated that he saver the prisoner throw the stone at Mr. Pelloo window. Peter Pates, 323 K, stated that when he took the prisoner into custody he made a determined resist ance, and got away from him. He caught bial again, and the prisoner said it would be the worse for him yet. Mr. Pellott said the pane of glass was valued at £4 10s. The prisoner, in a blasphemous manner, denied having broken the window, and said he had re" ceived a black eye, and his trousers were torn in the struggle. He had been second mate and boat" swain of a ship. Mr. Paget said—You have not only broken th e window of a respectable tradesman who did you ye wrong, but you have done it wilfully and maliel; ously. I cannot doubt that you did this mischle' after hearing the evidence of the boy, and here you have used most disgusting language. The only doubt I have is whether you ought not to be sen t to prison without the option of paying a fine. You r conduct in this court is as blasphemous and dis gusting as it well can be. You are fined ls. in ad• dition to the value of the glass, 14 10s., and in d e " fault one month's hard labour. The Prisoner—Can't I have compensation for la trousers and the injury done to my character? Mr. Paget—You have dane more injury to your character by your disgusting conduct here than ael one else could have done. We have good authority for stating that 1- , ° rci Strathnairn will not return to Dublin in his pres ol", capacity as Commander of the Forces in this CO'llo try.—,Saunders's News-Letter.
