AN L. VOTING FOR A T.—Lord Elcho, at Had dington, on Saturday, complained of certain news papers which, in their lists of candidates, " bracketed him with the letter T." Though Lord Elcho has hie hands full at home, he came to Peeblesshirs yesterday to vote for a "T." Surely, if there h a " T." extant, it must be Sir Graham Montgomery, a member of the Disraelite or "T." Government. Ana if Lord Elcho is not a " T.," why does he vote for a"T. ?" "Why am I to be made black ?" touchingly asked his lordship, on Saturday, in reference to that terrible " T." Ho has now, and on his own confession, made himself black, and he makes very light of his late constituents when he goes to Peebles expressly to blacken himself, and then comes back and swears that his black is white.— Scotsman. EXTRAORDINARY GAS EXPLOSION.—On Tues day night a man, while passing the iron pillar post letter box in the Oommercial-road, at the corner of Arbour square, Stepney, stopped to light a fuzee on the top of the box, and directly he had done so there was a tre mendous explosion of gas. The box was a total wreck in an instant, the front plate blown out, the smaller plate, with the times of delivery of letters engraved thereon, shivered, and the interior fittings ren dered useless. Singularly enough, although there are 17 letttrs at the bottom of the box not one of them sustained the least injury. The cause of the acci dent is accounted for by the fact that a gaspipe laid under the box leaked, and the boat was Ailed with gad. 103 110 23 24 8 bi 105 101 105 107 11 lip Lil fp li lip 45 57 97 111 113 101 103 RALL WAYS.-LINEiaASED AT at Birkenhead lull az 94 100 Do. 41 per cent.

The increase of pressure noticed in the S.W. and W. yesterday afternoon has now become general, though at our south-easterly stations the previous depression has not yet entirely dis appeared. Readings are now very uniform. Temperature is not much changed. A southerly gale blew on part of our S. coast yesterday, and strong westerly winds pr..vail this morning in the west of France. In our islands light to moderate breezes—s .uth easterly in the N. and E., and north-westerly in the S. and W.—are reported. Rain has fallen in the S. and W. Weather this morning is overcast and cloudy, with rain continuing in the W. of France. The North East Correspondence says that Bavaria hag recognised the claims of Austria in the matter of the immoveable Property vested in the South German fortresses. Another paper recently asserted that no such recognition had been made. If King William and his lieutenant sometimes exhibit considerable severity towards the unfortunates who have suffered annexation, their conduct at least meets with the auroval of the Prussians. The only grievance of which the latter complain is the excessive mildness of their rulers. The Government has submitted to the Prussian Chamber the draft of a loan for the sequestration of the ex-King of Hanover's property. The measure proposes to capitalise King George's effects, the revenue to go to the Prussian exchequer until such time as the refractory sovereign shall admit the justice of his fate and acknowledge Hanover as part of Prussia. These stipulations have met with much opposition. Numerous amendments have been announced, all of them proposing more summary treatment. The Liberals desire final sequestra tion ; the Censervatives wish to take from King George's property an annual sum of £60,000, to be applied to " anti-Guelph propagandism !" or, in other words, to be expended in converting the Hanoverians into Prussians. The expedient of a little judicious expendi ture has frequently done much in the way of political conversion in England. The proposal is decidedly ul. , Yakoob Beg, sovereign of the region west of Turkestan, bordering upon the recently-acquired Russian territory, has become an important personage. His capital is at Yarkand, around which lies a vast field of commercial enterprise as yet unexplored. Hitherto the moun tain range, Kuen-lun, was deemed an insupe rable barrier to English trade, and Russian has but just advanced to Yakoob Beg's frontier. But now the competition between the two countries to gain command of the commerce of this district hes become very keen, It was thought at first that Yakoob Beg was favourable to England, and that the conquests of Russia had greatly alarmed him ; but an important item of intelligence from St. Petersburg contradicts this statement. Yakoob Beg is, beyond doubt, alarmed, but he is also hopeless. He has sent a special ambassador to St. Petersburg for the purpose of coming to terms with the Russian Govern went. This envoy extraordinary is commissioned to offer Russia the whole commerce of the region which lies to the west of Turkestan, and which contains thirty millions of inhabitants. The trade of Europe has never before penetrated to this district, which, besides, opens a still wider region beyond. • If the Indian Government allows Rosian diplomacy to get the better of it in this case, the :efeA y6111:191?ably 100 attended kith qcki4ll4 CRIMINAL COURT—(This day). Charles William Templemann, 22, a respectable looking young man, was charged with the man slaughter of Stephed Blake, his father-in-law. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned for six months, with hard labour. POLICE .INTELLIGENCE--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO CAB PROPRIETORS.--John Dean Claridge, cab proprietor, of 10, Great Bath-street, Clerkenwell, was summoned by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for caus ing a horse to be ill used. George Young, officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that on the 10th of this month he saw the driver of the defendant's cab driving a horse along Piccadilly, and on examining it he found it to be very lame. Ile asked the driver for his number, which he took from his rocket, and he then told the driver to take the horse home, as it was totally unfit for use. lie saw the hors• again seven days afterwards, and the defendant then told him that the horse had been out the previous night. Mr. Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, deposed that while in company of Mr. Andrews, the chief officer of the society, he saw the horse, which was lame in all its legs. He subse quently examined it, and found that it had several sores which had been blackened over, and were now nearly healed, but the horse was still in a very bad condition—in fact, it was worn out. The defendant asked the magistrate to see the horse, and said that it could trot 12 miles an hour, and he would like to drive the magistrate and let him see what it could do. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would not set himself up against the veterinary surgeon, and although he was very much obliged to the defendant for his invitation, still be must decline it. He would ask the defendant whether he really meant to say the horse was in good condition, and could even carry its own harness. The defendant said the horse was in excellent condition, and called two witnesses in his employ, one of whom said there was nothing the matter with the last named, and the other that it was in good condition. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could place no credit in the evidence for the defence, and should fine the defen dant 55., at the same time telling him that he might be fined 40s. The driver of the horse was fined 2s. costs. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF HORSE STEALING BY A BM—Charles Battey, a boy, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with stealing a horse and harness of the value of £l5, the property of Mr. John Burr, livery stable-keeper, of White Horse yard, Brook-street, Grosvenor-square, and also with stealing a rug and whip, the property of Mr. Cox, butcher, 5, James-street, Oxford-street. Mr. Burr said that on Tuesday evening he saw the prisoner in his stables putting some harness on one of his horses. He asked the prisoner what he was doing, and the prisoner said that Mr. Cox had sent him from his house. He told the prisoner he had made a mistake, and that Mr. Cox's horse was in the next stall. He (prosecutor) was then called away, and on returning to his stables at a late hour was informed by Mr. Cox, jun., that the pri soner had taken his horse and harness away. He went in search of the horse, and subsequently found that it had been discovered at Somers-town. The value of the horse and harness was £l5. John Hickey, Wellington-square, Gray's-inn lane, said that while going to work yesterdday morning, he saw a horse and cart and some boys playing in the cart. He asked how long the cart had been there, and they said a long time, and seeing the name of Fletcher en it he went to Gil bert-stseet, Oxford-street, and there found it be longed to a greengrocer of that name, and that the horse and cart belonged to Mr. Burr. Sergeant Ellis, 8 C, said that after taking the horse and harness the prisoner took Mr. Fletcher's cart, and Mr. Cox's rug and whips. Mr. Cox was not in attendance, and the prisoner was not charged with stealing the cart. Police-constable Crowley, 229 D, said that on the prisoner being given into custody last night he admitted taking the horse and harness, but not the other property. The Prisoner said he wa3 sorry for what he had done, and, in answer to Mr. D'Eyncourt as to his reason for doing it, said that a boy told him to do so. The prosecutor said be had no wish to press the charge with severity, but only for the sake of example. The boy's father, a respectable-looking man, living in Gray-street, Manchester-square, said that his boy had left home several times, and he had fetched him home. He could not tell why he had acted as he had done. He found that his son bad left the rug at a sweep's of the name of Clayton, at Knightsbridge—the son knowing the sweep's son. Mr. D'Eyneourt remanded the prisoner. THAMES. SMUGGLING.—John Williams and George Taylor were charged with smuggling tobacco and cigars. A Custom-house officer, named Neame, was sta tioned on board the Scindia, in the London Dock, and overhauled the clothing and other things in the prisoners' chests. In the leggings of a pair of trousers belonging to Taylor he found 31b. of foreign manu factured tobacco, and in a secret till in the chest owned by Williams a pound and a half of cigars. The prisoners were convicted for smuggling, and ordered to pay the single value and duty. Williams--I am charged with smuggling tobacco —I had not a bit of the weed about me. He was :reminded that cigars were made of to bacco, and fined 15s. His shipmate was ordered to pay a penalty of 20s. LANDLORD COERCION. —An elector writing from Wareham, says :—"ln the Bero district, on Tues day last, three persons voted for Captain Calcraft. One of them was Mr. Mundell ; he rents his shop at Mor den of a person named Foster, who is under Mr. Dray, the unsuccessful Tory candidate. For the audacity of voting agreeably with his sense of duty ho has received notice to quit his business premises within forty-eight hours. HANDWRITING.--I have been amused with a sen tenco which I find in a letter written by a lady. " Who is the writer of this letter? I can't make out the signa ture. The hand seems bad enough for a man's." I really had no notion that women complained of men's handwriting as Deing less legible than their own. On thinking the matter over, however, I am not at all sure that my correspondent is not right. The pen manship of women is rather odd , and it is not easy to understand why they should be taught to construct their letters in a manner peculiar to them selves. Mr. Tennyson, in one of his poems, compares their up-strokes and their down-strokes to stalks of corn slant ing in the wind. And oh ! their pothooks! oh, their flourishes when they come to y! oh, the bewilderment of their zig-zags when they come to z ! Still, nevertheless, and notwithstanding—l fear it must be owned that they are neater in their handwriting than men are. Who would have thought the influence of sex would find its way to the nib of a pen ?-onee a Week. We are informed that a meeting was to be held on November 13th inst., at 3 p.m., at the office of Chan cellor Ferris, in the building of the New York University, for the purpose of discussing the feasibility of organizing and sustaining an American Philological Society. It is said that many of the leading linguists of the city and and adjacent literary centres have expressed their inten tion to be present. The object is a highly praiseworthy and desirable one, and we sincerely trust that this pre liminary meeting will compass results of sufficient promise to justify the hope of a permanently established society. Even " Brick" Pomeroy is to have a " Life and Times." Lelock and Co., of New Orleans, will shortly publish the work. Every dog is said to have his diy, and we know no reason why "Brick" Pomeroy should not have his. The faculty and trustees of the Agricultural Col loge at Amherst, Massachusetts, have just organized and put into operation a short course of studies, for the benefit of young men wishing to attend the institution but unable to afford time for the full course. Students will be re ceived at any time, and will be allowed to pursue the branches which they select, on the same terms and with the same advantages as the students of the regular and extended course.

When Dr. M'Cosh closed his speech at Prince ton College the boys responded with three cheers, the usual tiger, and a "rocket." This rocket is a thoroughly Princeton institution, and is given with a f-z-z-z —boom— a—h! The first exclamation is supposed to imitate the flight of a rocket in the air, the second the explosion, and the third the admiring exclamations of the enthusiastic spectators as they witness' the burst of coloured fire. Raphael Semmes will shortly again appear on the scene, in a work elaborated from the logs of the Sumter and the Alabama. The work will be entitled" The Cruises of the Sumter and Alabama," Kelly, Piet, and Co., of Bal - being the publishers. The taste of those coming out in the face of his indignant countrymen is, to say the east, questionable on the part of Captain Semmes. But, to make the work perfect, portraits of himself and Laird ought to be given. Three hundred young mon are now in attend ance at Cornell University. Some of them have scars from the battle-field. The University has a promising future. The building is rapidly approaching completion. It has been decided in a Wisconsin Court that the imposition of a tax upon non-residents selling goods by samplo in the State is contrary to the Constitution of the United States. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is at length going to form its School . of Architecture.

On their way back to New York the train ran off the track, when, we learn front the Pro vidence Press, " with a little of that energy and determi nation which has secured for most of them their present distinguished positions in society, they walked over the bridge." Mr. Edwin A. Pollard is well qualified to do what he proposes—write a life of Jefferson Davis. While strongly Southern in sentiment., we believe Mr. Pollard attributes the overthrow of the Confederacy to Mr. Davis, and promises to lay bare the secret history of the Rich mond Gloyernment.
