Drum dwelt at the ob stacle, and Colours, who was in the track of Lord Coven try's horse, came into collision with him and fell. Wheeler fortunately escaped with a shaking, and the favourite wept on riderless. Prima Donna held the command until a mile had been accomplished, when Havannah took up the running, Drum passing Mr. Brayley's mare half a mile from home.

Before reaching the water-jump Eheu assumed the command, and was the first over, Wedding Peal fol lowing. Chesterfield, who was next, fell on "taking off," broke his near hind leg, and was shortly afterwards de stroyed. Holman was fortunately not hurt. Eheu took a clear lead after passing the Stand, Gorsehawk running into second place, and Wedding Peal dropping into the rear.

In the meadows opposite the Stand Holman broke one of his stirrup-leathers, and im mediately pulled Lord Waldegrave up. Meanwood held the advantage, for once round the corner, whoa he tired, and Legerdemain reassumed the command, Havelock fol lowing a coaple of lengths roar of Meanwood until within three quarters of a mile from home, when Mean wood, beaten, dropped into the rear.

Meanwood was struck out of the Grand Annual Steeple chase at 5.10 p.m. yesterday (Thursday). NAVAL AND MILITARY IN7ELLIGENCE. The Terrible, 19, paddlewheel steam frigate, Capt. J. E. Commerell, C. 8., V.C., arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Mediterra nean (last from Plymouth). After discharging her powder she went into the harbour to land the Arm strong guns belonging to the Royal Oak, which she brought from Gibraltar, whither they had been sent during the last commission of the ship ; but she had lEft for England previous to their arrival. She has also a monster gun of ancient date and of Turkish manufacture, which will have to be sent to Wool wich, as well as a number of cases of antiquities for the British Museum. The Dec, paddlewheel storeship, Staff Comman der Raymond, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, and proceeded directly into the harbour to load stores for that port. The discharge of the non-established, or hired, mechanics and labourers from the several dock yards, in accordance with the present Admiralty scheme, to provide a sum for building ironclads with money that would have been expended as wages if these men had not been discharged, has already produced the greatest distress. At Ports mouth men with large families, who hitherto have been accustomed to all the comforts implied by the receipt of good wages, are absolutely in want of food. They have not as yet applied to the poor house or relieving officer, although they must even tually be compelled by hunger to do so. A?a rule, they have been accustomed to live weekly up to their income, and, consequently, but very few have available savings now that they are being so sud denly and ruthlessly discharged from work. Many of the more frugal among them may be found to belong to some building society in the endeavour to become the owner of a small house, but among the hired class now being discharged these would be exceptional cases. Several hundreds of families at Portsmouth alone are already in the position we have described. The men and their wives appear to be paralysed with the sudden shock and the knowledge of their inability to procure employ meat OP:Milere in England in public Yr printY ~/ ~ ~ ~-c , ~~~ !- PRICK..

Private charity is doing much to relieve for a moment the more pressing cases of distress, but any private attempts at help, how ever well organiied, must necessarily be of trifling avail in stemming so terrible a calamity. When crowds of workmen are already discharged from our private shipyards and engineering establiAntent3 what hope of work can he entertained by the thou sands of men now brim, discharg.,l from the Royal do.lkyards? It is understood :.hat those wen arc bijng, discharged to enable the AdallrAly to appro priate the saw saved from the . ...;1,1 Eitinlatea of 1868-9 in the form of wagi.ti to the coatutenonnent of the buitling of two or three ironealS. If th;s is really the case, 'a very serious blunder has been committed by their Lorlships and their linancii,l alvis...rs. It is certainly nceesiary to the cola try's defence that its ironclad squadrons should be kept up, but this even must not be done at such a fearful sacrifice. The only possible permanent re lief that can apparently be given under the circum stances would be for the Admiralty to reconsider that portion of the Naval Estimates relating to the reduction of hired mechanics and labourers, and re-enter those men who have been so sum marily discharged from the several yards. If the men discharged from the various dockyards are not re-entered, some thousands of . men,' with their families, must become permanent paupers. The Colonelcy of the 63d Regiment of Foot is vacant by the death of General Sir Thomas Kenha, K.C.8., early yesterday morning, at the great age of 86 years. The deceased entered the army in August, 1799, and the same year served with his regiment in E.olland.

Ile had received the gold medal at the Grand Seignior for the Egyptian campaign ; also the silver war medal with one clasp ; was created in 1818 a Companion of the Bath, in recognition of his military services, and in 1865 was advanced to the rank of Knight Commander. THE BUSH CHURCH. An influential meeting, convened by requisition, was held at Limerick on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of securing " religious equality amongst all classes of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland." The attendance was very large. On the motion of the Right Rev. Dr. Butler, Catholic Bishop of Limerick, the Earl of Dunraveii occupied the chair. Amongst those present were —Colonel Monsell, M.P., Mr. Synan, M.P., Sergeant Barry, M.P., the Right Rev. Dr. Butler, Very Rev. Dean O'Brien, P.P., &c. A good number of Catholic clergymen were also present. Dr. O'Shaughnessy, one of the secretaries, read letters of apology from Lord Castle rosse, Viscount Southwell, Aubrey De Vere, Major Gavin, M.P., &c. The Chairman congratulated those present on the fact that they had not been summoned there in the defence of any religious monopoly, or to prop up a Catholic fabric or sec tarian ascendancy. They had been summoned in order to certify and show to the country that they were determined by all loyal and constitutional means to come forward and assert that the time had arrived when Ireland should have full religious equality. (Cheers.) They felt that the time had come when the question must be faced, and there was every reason to hope that it would be quietly sett'ed. Two of the leading statesmen of England had come forward at the present time to give them all the support in their power; and if eloquence of speech and determination of purpose could effect anything, those qualities were exerted in the per uns of those statesmen in favour of the object that that meeting was assembled to promote. The Catholics of the world ought indeed to feel grate ful to the greatest orator in the House of Commons for the words which he had lately use I, and which had gone through the length and breadth of the kingdom, , reaching the hearts and kindling the gratitude of thousands of their fellow-countrymen, when he said the State Church, as an establishment, could not exist. It bad been said by some that the Catholic laity of Ireland did not feel a deep interest in the question—that to a vast number of them in this country it would be a matter of indifference whether the Established Church was done away with or not. But that great meeting, and others that would be held all over the country, would show the falsity of that assertion. Let the resolutions that would be adopted and the petitions that would be sent to Parliament—not from Limerick alone, but from every parish in the country—show that no ground existed for such a reproach. No one could have failed to observe with the deepest pleasure that a remarkable change had come over the progress of public opi nion on this great question in England, and he might add not only on this but on all questions relating to Ireland. England boasted of being a land of justice and a land of fair play; but the people of this country, and the history of the past, had not given it an opportunity of judging of those favourable portions of the English character, and it would be unjust and ungenerous if they did not acknowledge that there never was a time since the connection between the two countries in which there was such a strong desire on the part of Eng land to come forward and atone for the errors of the past, and to deal with all those grievances of which the people of this country most justly com plained. He hoped that it would be clearly under stood that they made a distinction between what they said with regard to the Established Church as an establishment, and their feelings with regard to the Protestant religion. They did not come for ward in opposition to their fellow-Christians, or to denounce any religious tenets in the land. 'They would leave that to their opponents, who had never been slow in vilifying the faith of the vast majority of the people. There was one effect which education was bringing about. If they educated the people of Ireland, amongst other things they must lead them to read the past history of their own country, and in reading it they could not help realising the manner in which their clergy had been treated. His lordship observed that if the Parliament acceded to the wishes of the majority of the people in this matter, and passed other mea sures for this country, they would have. no more dis content, a better day would dawn for Ireland, and they might expect to see the welfare and prosperity of the people. Col. Mousell, M.P., who was loudly cheered, proposed the first resolution—" That while the ecclesiastical revenues of England were ap propriated by the national will to the spiritual wants of the majority of the English people, the ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland, against the national will, were appropriated to the spiritual wants of less than one-eighth of the Irish people ; that in the opinion of the meeting this appropriation was a national wrong, a badge of conquest, and inconsistent with the first principles of justice." Alderman gninlivan seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. Syuan, M.P., moved the next resolution—" That, for the purpose of laying the foundation of union, prosperity, and peace in Irelan 1, the disendowment of the Esta blished Church is the first step to be taken." The resolution having been seconded : was also adopted unanimously. Several other resolutions in fur therance of the objects of the meeting having been proposed and carried, the proceedings terminated. THE WORKS OF GUSTAVE DORE.—This season will doubtless witness the most remarkable display of works of art by one born to ba among the greatest of the past, the present, and the future. An exhibition on a large scale of the. young master's latest works is announced ; meantime, those who have not yet seen Dore's groat paint ings at the Egyptian Ball, should hasten to do so before Unix probable and speedy removal to the Vatted States. ----,' — l'' s r ,_—, Xr% NEWSPAPER ( ~ ..- i -i.:.,.....,:,„. i.:. , .....,:,„. -,.,,,?.. . 41 (- -.., ' ..-41 ir•T'''''"!

The deceased- was a single young woman, residing with her brother, Walter Thomas, at Tavarnau bach, a place on the borders of Breconshire, and imme diately adjacent to Rhymney, on the high-road from Mer thyr to Abergavenny. For a considerable period she had kept company with the prisoner, who Was also single, and her senior by a great number of years, and ulti mately she had a child by him. This child appears to have been the cause of contention between them, both before and after its birth. Before the birth pri• s,oncr met deceased one day on the mountain between Rhyinney and Dowlais, and an altereatien took place, which ended in his counoittinq a desperate assault upon, lire, fo: w1: 7 (!11.1.1 wa., 5 , r , . ,- --):-:0,1 !.,(ore +.. , ,;r;111;r7i,trat, 4 a t '.7 - ..1• - :lyr, r..;1:1 s:srittlic , ;.l I o a. tarn of impriset.:nent.

The prisoner contested the summons, - uut at the con clusion of the young woman's case be admitted the pater nity. That took place on Vie Saturday previous to Tues day, the rth June. On the last-mentioned day, about seven o'clock in the evening, deceased told her sister-in-law that she wanted to go down to Rhymney, but the latter refused to allow her to go. Late in the evening, about half-past ten, or between that and eleven o'clock, while her sister-in-law was absent for a few minutes, deceased left the house, and was never after. wards seen alive. Search was made for her in every place around where it was supposed that she might have con cealed herself, but with no success. On the Saturday following some workpeople were at dinner near an abandoned shaft called Nantllesk Pit (in the county of Glamorgan), and a girl in passing asked them why they (lid not go somewhere else to take their food, as there was a smell of horseflesh at that spot. This remark induced one of the party to look about, and incidentally he looked into the old shaft, and saw something at the bottom, forty-two yards deep, which appeared to be a human body. His discovery attracted others to the pit, and a descent having been made in the presence of the police, the body was discovered to be that of a woman. It was carefully raised by ropes, and, having been recog nised by the clothing as that of the missing Martha Thomas, was removed to the house of her brother in Bre conshire. Her face and head were smashed to pieces, her arms and legs were also shattered, and the head was doubled up as though the body had gone down the pit head foremost. Foul play being suspected, the surgeon who examined the body was requested to look carefully for marks of violence, but the only marks which he could find other than those which he would have expected on a body which had fallen such a depth upon jagged stones at the bottom, were two or three marks on the neck, which appeared something like finger-marks, as though it had been . fastened in a tremendous grip. The head, however, had been literally doubled up by the force of the concussion, and that would leave marks on the neck. There was no evidence of a struggle at the top of the pit. Suspicion was at first attached to a gen tleman of position at Rhymney, but this having been proved to be nothing more than a foul slander, the man Protheroe was then suspected. Protheroe at that time worked at the Rhymney Ironworks, and frequently walked over to Cfncoedycymmr, near Merthyr, where he has a brother residing. Knowing that he was suspected, ho volunteered a statement to the Glamorganshire police, which was verified in almost every particular by Mr. Superintendent Wren, and so satisfied that officer that he was not near Rhymney at the time the woman was missed, that he declined to arrest him. The coroner for Brecon. shire, however, at the second sitting of the inquest, ordered Protheroe into custody, and the Breconshire police arrested him, and he was committed for trial. At the trial the evidence was very conflicting. The summing up by the judge was very much in favour of the prisoner, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.— Cambria Dail Leader. IL, ' ) .r4num, " r ../ LAW AND POLICE. WHAT IS OBSTRUCTING A LINE ?---This was the questior raised in a case at the Kingston Assizes, before Mr. Justice Byles. Two respectable-looking boys, named Songey and Butterworth, the one 16, the other only 12, were indicted in various counts for unlawful!• obstructing the line of a railway, or causing it to be obstructed, and endangering, or causing to be endangered, the safety of the passengers in trains upon the line. The boys, it appeared, from a mere idle frolic and no idea of mischief, took out of a box by the side of the line a red flag, and put it up to the signal post. Had a train come by it would have stopped on account of this signal. No train did come by. however, and the learned judge observed that it appeared that in point of fact there was no obstruc tion of the line, though there might have been ; and the statute required, in or ter to create the offence, that there should have been an obstruction actually caused. The boys were then charged with attempting to obstruct, hut his lordship again remarked that felonious intent must be proved, and the boys did nut seem to have known what the effect of their frolic might be. Under these circum stances they were acquitted. SENTENCE OF DEATIL-At the Liverpool Assizes, OL Thursday, Thomas Quigley was tried on a charge of having murdered his wife on the ISth December last. The case was one exhibiting the utter brutality of the prisoner. His wife now and then took, as she admitted when dying, a glass or two too much, and for that, as she supposed, he had often beaten her. On the night of the 18th December last, when she was quite sober, he beat her with a poker and with a broken chair so severely that she died soon after in the hospital. He left Liverpool, and was captured in Holland. A verdict of guilty was returned, and he was sentenced to death. THE MARQUIS OP TOWNSHEND AT THE POLICE•COURT AGAIN.—The Marquis Townshend has again come before the metropolitan magistrates, this time at Marylebone, on a charge of assault. The noble lord, it appears, was solicited by the aunt of a girl in the service of a Mr. Pitt, to get the girl away from her master. Mr. Pitt had opened the girl's (Esther Grover's) letters because they were addressed to "Miss" Grover, it being, in his opinion, unbecoming in her to accept such a title. Esther Grover resented the liberty, and gave notice to leave, but Mr. Pitt refused to allow her. The aunt therefore applied to the Marquis, who, without sending in his card, and indeed hardly announcing himself, passed by Mr. Pitt, and, pushing him aside, went down into the kitchen and brought away the girl. This constituted the assault com plained of, and the Marquis apologising, the charge was dismissed. Arr. Pitt was then charged with assaulting Esther Grover, and the charge having been proved he was fined 20s. and costs. Four arrests were made at Cork on Thursday for Fenianism. The prisoners' names are Ferris, Coughlan, Griffin, and Adams. Ferris has only just returned from America. The arrests are deemed important. DESTRUCTION OP A COTTON MILL.—On Thursday morning, Denton Bridge Mill, near Sowerby Bridge, was destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated as upwards of £5.000. The friends of Mr. Johnston, in Belfast, are acting strictly on his advice to them not to permit his incarceration to interfere with his chalices of election, should a vacancy occur in the representation of that town. Ward committees, to canvass the electors on his behalf, have been formed, and other steps taken for carrying ont his recommendation, or, more properly speaking, his appeal to the Orange portion of the constituency. REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER.—At a com bined meeting of the Westminster Conservative and London and Westminster Working Men's Associations, held on Thursday evening at their offices, 4, Victoria-street, Viscount Nevill in the chair, it was unanimously resolved that a requisition be immediately prepared to Mr. W. H. Smith asking him to stand as a candidate for the city at the next election. RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —About five o'clock on Thursday morning an accident occurred on the Great Eastern Railway, near Park Station. Several trucks laden with coals were overturned, and being dragged on by the engine to which they were attached, tore up the rails for some length. Several men were set to work to clear the line and to make it ready again for traffic, which was effected in about two hours. The statement of the Earl of Mayo, in the House of Commons, has led to an inquiry into the manner in which Mr. Johnston is treated in Down Gaol. " A letter of inquiry," the Erening Mail says, "was received by the governor from the Inspector-General of Prisons, requiring a statement as to what relaxations have been made in the prisoner's favour by the Board of Superintendence. This w as probably caused by Lord Mayo's erroneous state. anent the other night. The governor, it is understood, wrote to say that practically no relaxation of the rules had been made in Mr. Johnston's favour, and that the only request he had made, which was to be allowed to see his wife otherwise than in the ` cage,' had been refused. Mr. Johnston has no complaint to make of the prison officials, who are all as kind zs is at all consistent with their duty."
