AN ILLUSTRIOUS CHRISTY IN TROUBLE.—John Thomas Willis, a wandering " nigger," in full pro fessional costume, was charged with stealin g a coat. George Wheeler, potman at the Coach and Horses, Chester-mews, Belgravia, said—The pri soner and another nigger were in the Coach and Horses last night going through their performance. They left about one o'clock, and directly they were gone I missed my coat which had been hanging up in the tap-room where the prisoners had been. I went out and overtook him and asked him for my coat. He said he had not got it, but upon putting my hand underneath his coat I felt mine beneath it. A female who was with him said, "It was only taken for a lark ; we should have brought it back." I gave prisoner into custody. The prisoner said he was drunk at the time, and had not the slightest recollection of the affair. lie was as innocent as a new-born babe. (A laugh.) He frequently went b the Coach and Horses, and it was not likely that he would commit a felony theze. Mr. Selfe said he was unwilling to believe that this illustrious Christy was guilty of theft. He would not send him to prison, but would inflict a fine of 20s. and costs for being drunk and dis orderly. THAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—James Scanlan, a youth about 19 years of age, and recently a pot-man in a bar-house, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a small barrel of ale, the property of ➢ir. Robert Henry, brewer. Charles Fisk, drayman, said that on the Bth of the present month he was in Lambeth-street, White chapel, with his dray, laden with stout, ale, and beer. He left his dray and horses is the street for a minute, and was returning, when he saw the prisoner leaving the dray with a cask of ale on his shoulder. The prisoner carried the ale into a common lodging house, No. 25, Lambeth-street. He left a boy in charge of his dray, and went to the station-house in Leman -street and returned with two policemen. The cask contained six half gallons of bitter ale, and was valued at 11s. He saw the prisoner again last night. Hugh Andrews, a police constable, No. 62 H, said he went to the house, No. 25, Lambeth-street, on the Bth of August, and found the cask of ale stolen from the dray in the kitchen. Police-sergeant Dunaway, No. 1.1 H, said he arrested the prisoner last night at a shop in Well street, near the Sailors' Home, He put him among the others about his own age and size, and Fisk picked him out in a moment. The prisoner said he was innocent of the rob bery, and called two witnesses, who knew nothing of the matter. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had been in cus tody before. Th 6 Prisoner—Yes; you fined me sa. for being drunk. Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial. FALL OF PART OF A HOUSE, Shortly after seven this morning much excite ment was caused in Marshall-street, Golden-square, and the neighbourhood by what at first was sup posed to be the fall of a house. It appears that several houses in the above street have recently been pulled down by Messrs. Patrick, the contractors of Westminster, for the purpose of erect ing some warehouses, and about the time stated the party wall of the house, No. 23, which had adjoined those pulled down fell with a heavy crash, leaving „the interior of the whole of the rooms, and the inmates, and one of whom was in bed, exposed. Fortunately the occupants of the different) rooms sustained no bodily harm. Inspector Harrison, of the G division, was shortly after the occurrence on the spot, and took every precaution to prevent accidents, and Messrs. Patrick have taken the necessary steps for securing the s Ifety of the house by shoring it up. A murder of peculiar atrocity has lately been committed near Limoges. A shoemaker's wife, named Babinaud, strangled her husband in his sleep and afterwards cut his body in pieces. For four days successively she went into the woods and lanes about Limoges scattering little bits of her husband's body in various directions far and wide. Every night she re turned to her house, and lay down to sleep by the side of what was loft. Six days after the murder she put on her best gown and danced at a village fete. She has been sentenced to penal servitude for life. This " cold" cruelty would seem to be pecu liarly French, as it is found in nearly every French murderer we hear of. But, doubtless, this is because we are presented with none but the selected cases. . THE SUN, LONDON, TiTESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1868. S H ►S T. 2'HE PRITISH ASSOCIATION. - FINSBURY. NORWICH, MONDAY, The chief Centre of attraction yesterday was the cathedral. As far as I have been able to gather its history, the first stone of this building was laid in 1096, by Herbert de Losinga, then Abbot of Ramsay, and afterwards Bishop of Norwich, the see being removed to the latter place from Thetford. There is this somewhat curious feature recorded in connection with the foundation of the structure—namely, that all the great people in the neighbourhood had literally a hand in the work. Thus, after the abbot had placed his stone, the feudal lord of the castle, one Roger Bigot, came and placed his, being followed in time by Herbert de Rye, a devot from the Holy Land, and the other barons of the district. The choir and surrounding aisles, the transepts, and the central tower were completed before the death of the first bishop, the nave and the nave aisles being erected by his successor, Bishop Eborard. In 1171 the cathedral suffered severely from fire, but was restored by Bishop John de Oxford. It was not till 1500, however, that it was really completed, and from that time till now it has passed through alternate stages of decay, restoration, and embellishment. The tower is a fine sped men of Norman architecture in four stages. The first bishop is buried in the church, but the crypt containing his remains has long been closed. The cathedral is dedi cated to the Holy Trinity, and is one of thirty-eight eccle siastical edifices contained within the walls, or rather the remnants of the walls, of the city. There were two services yesterday, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, and at both every inch of sitting and standing room was occupied. Dr. Magee, Dean of Cork, delivered a most eloquent sermon in the forenoon, and the Dean of Norwich was to have been the afternoon preacher, but he was unable to reach the city in time, and his place was supplied by Canon Evetts. The bishop of the diocese, with Dr. Hooker, the president of the Association, the Duke of Buccleuch, ex-president, and most of the wise men at present sojourn ing in that quarter of the compass from which we are told such characters originally came, were amongst the congre gations; The offertory in the afternoon was devoted to the Norwich Infirmary, the funds of which will no doubt he largely benefited therely. To-day great excitement prevails in reference to the excursion at the end of the week; and the local secretaries, men not easily perplexed, are almost driven to their wits' ends with the task of allotting tickets. Ten o'clock was the last hour for receiving the applications, which have poured in in shoals. The great difficulty experienced by the secretaries is that the visitors with wonderful sagacity, spot the most eligible places to visit, and won't be contented with going anywhere else. Cromer and Yar mouth are the most favoured of these. Mr. Harvey's invitation to Cromer Point, postponed from Saturday, will, I suspect, be accepted by nearly all the visitors ; and it may be questioned whether the lecture on "Reverse Chemical Actions," by Dr. Odling, announced to be delivered in the Drill Hall in the evening, will be an attraction sufficient to tear them away from the hospita lities of the wealthy M.P., who appears to be very popular here. ELECT] ON /N 7EL LIGEN The present members have determined to present themselves conjointly before the enlarged constitu ency of this borough, which, it is estimated, will now have 40,000 electors. The return of Mr. Torrens and Mr. Alderman Lusk, who will thus be united in their canvass, is looked upon as certain, especially as committees are already being formed throughout the borough i❑ their names. The Con ' servatives have been using every exertion to secure names for the "constitutional register," and their agents have been making a house-to-house canvass for lodgers to become voters. The papers left for the proposed voters to fill up are so framed as to make many fancy that they are filling;up a parish and not a party document. The only candidate hitherto brought forward by the Conservatives is a Mr. Limber, who addressed a ticket meeting a short time since. Sir Samuel Baker's name has also been mentioned as a candidate in the Conservative interest. A rumour is afloat that Mr. W. Cox, the late member, will stand, but there has been no public notification of this. TOWER HAMLETS. Last night Mr. Edmond Beales, as a candidate for this borough, addressed a crowded meeting of the electors and prospective electors at the Limehouse Town Hall. He met with a cordial reception, and a resolution pledging the meeting to use its utmost endeavours to secure his election was passed. HACKNEY. Last night a meeting of the electors of the borough of Hackney was held at Albion-hall, Albion-square, Dalston, for the purpose of afford ing Mr. J. Holms, one of the Liberal candidates, an opportunity of explaining his views upon the questions of the day. Mr. Holms said he should oppose the funds arising from the disendowment of the Church jin Ireland being applied to sectarian purposes. A resolution in favour of Mr. Horns was unanimously adopted.

A paper on the cattle plague was brought forward in this section by Mr. W. SMITH, hon. consulting veterinary surgeon to the Norfolk Cattle Plague Association. After describing the nature of the disorder and pointing out that, at all events as regarded the county of Norfolk, the treatment by means of drugs, homw o p a th y, an d vacc i na• tion, signally failed, the author furnished an interesting sketch of the rise and progress of the disease in this country. The cattle plague had been known, he said, for more than 1,000 years to have periodically devastated the continent of Europe. About 810 it was supposed to have visited England, but there was no authentic record of its having broken out again until 1714, when it appeared in Islington. About the middle of June it committed great ravages for about three months, and disappeared towards Christmas in the same year. It reappeared in April 1745, being probably imported by some calves from Holland. It lasted twelve years, and killed many thousand heads of cattle, In March 1770, the disease was imported into Pertsoy, in Moray Firth, but was stamped out with a comparatively trifling loss by the judicious and timely slaughter of the affected beasts and those which had been in contact with them ; and in Aberdeen, in 1865, it was twice got rid of by the adoption of similar means. The particulars of the outbreak of 1865 were then gone into at length by Mr. Smith, who ascribed the introduction of the disease into Norfolk on that occasion to a lot of cattle brought from the metropolitan into the local market. Some of these cattle were conveyed into neighbouring districts, and imparted the disease there also. The number of cattle attacked from the Ist July to the 21st of October was 705, of which 296 were killed and 290 died. By November 25, 1,004 beasts had been attacked, the large increase being due to the utterly powerless nature of the eight Orders in Council which had been issued. The above and other statistics of the disease in Norfolk, shewing with what rapidity the number of beasts attacked increased as soon as the provision for the compulsory slaughter of those infected was removed, and how the number as rapidly lessened immediately after the order again came in force, were adduced to prove the utter uselessness of treating and endeavouring to preserve infected animals. They must, argued Mr. Smith, be at once destroyed whenever and wherever disease breaks out. Legislation, it was pointed out, had been urged on a little Way in the right direction, as the Act of last session was calculated to control pleuro pneumonia in a slight degree by inflicting a penalty on persons exposing animals so affected in the market. Next session, it was hoped, Gove rnmen t wou ld go a s t e p f ur th er , and prevent such animals from being moved from place to place on the public t horoughfares until all fear of infection had passed away. This would tend, in the opinion of those best acquainted with the subject, to give the cattle plague a severe check, and consequently would be the means of cheapening food in this country more effectually than any other course yet known, not even excepting foreign importation. The growing desire to cheapen food had its advantages, but it had also its evils. Free trade in animals was, to a great extent, as the member for East Norfolk had phrased it, "free trade in disease." The paper concluded with the expression of a hope that the establishment of a market for imported animals would have the effect of remedying the evils which were likely to follow from the opposition to the Foreign Market Bill of last session by the opponents of the present Government, who would see, when perhaps it was too late, the folly of the course they took. MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE SECTION. The results of the labours of the Rainfall Committee were communicated to this section by Mr. G. Y. SYMONS, the secretary, who stated that the extraction and classifi cation of all trustworthy records of rainfall, whether published or unpublished, was kept prominently in view, and steadily pursued on every opportunity, as was also the examination of rain-gauges in situ by the secretary, who travelled about the British Isles during portions of each year in order to ascertain that the rain-gauges used by the observers now assisting (about 1,600 in number) were accurately constructed instruments, and were placed in suitable positions. Mr. Symons referred briefly to the fact that in a voluntary body of observers such as that now recording the rainfall through the length and breadth of the land, removals and deaths would occasionally leave small districts unrepresented, and, as in parts' of Derbyshire, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland other parts had never been adequately provided. From these causes additional observers were at all times most welcome, but they must conform to the rules of their confreres so as to secure uniform results. The Secretary then referred to certain experiments which were suggested some few years since relative to the effects which would result from inclining the funnels of gauges towards the rain ; not, of course, with the remotest idea of any but horizontal gauges being ever used for any but experi mental purposes. Tables were presented illustrating the results of these instruments, for the construction and observation of which the country was indebted to Mr. Chrimes, of Rotherham. Their discussion proved the following facts :-1. That there was no month in the year in which a gauge whose mouth is horizontal collected so much-as one which was kept face to the wind by a vane. 2. In slimmer rain fell nearly vertical, the average angle then being about 20 deg., in spring and autumn 46 deg.. and in winter more than 60 deg. 3. The ratio of the fall on the ground to that at 25ft. above it, bore a nearly constant relation to the angle of fall; for in stance, in two months, when rain fell at a mean angle of 65 deg. from the vertical the 25ft. gauge collected 25 per cent. less than that on the ground ; and, on the other hand, in two months when the mean angle was 20 deg., the upper and lower gauges only differed by 5 per cent. Reference was then made to the removal of various experimental gauges from Caine to the vicinity of Reading, and to the rainfall of parts of Cumber land and 'Westmoreland, one point specially deserving of notice being that, by independent and different modes of inquiry, Professor Phillips and Mr. Symons had arrived at very similar results as to the height at which the greatest amount was usually to be found—the former giving 1,463 feet, and the latter 1,000 to 1,500 feet. Considerable space in the communication was devoted to the determination of the relative wetness of different months based on the average of many years ; and it was shewn that the greater the total fall in the year the more certain was it that the wettest month would be a winter one. whereas in dry districts like Norwich the wettest month was in summer or early autumn, A very complicated investigation was next mentioned relative tc variations in the percentage of decrease of rain due tc elevation above the ground in different months, of which it may be briefly said that the result appeared to be that while a gauge on the roof in every month collected less than one on the ground, the decrease was much greater in winter than in summer, and upon the values in the tables various correction factors were based. Remarks on the rainfall of the last two years concluded Mr. Symoas conimunicaion. . - CII ELSEA. A crowded meeting of the supporters of Sir henry A. ['care, one of the Liberal candidates for this newly-created borough, was held last night at the Swan, Walham-green. Mr. Weston expressed great disapprobation at the course adopted by the Working Men's Electoral Association in passing a resolution pledging themselves to support Mr. Odger. The following resolution was carried amid enthusiastic cheering :—" That this meeting pledges itself to support Sir Henry A. Hoare and Mr. Went worth Dilke as fit and proper persons to represent this new borough in Parliament." DEVON (EAST). A crowded and uproarious meeting was had at Torquay I,:st night. A resolution in favour of Sir L. Palk and Viscount Council ty was eventually carried by a large majority. LA UNCESTON. Mr. Lopes, the CoLtsorvative member for Laun ceston, aid the ouly candidate, addressed a crowded meeting on Saturday night. His remarks concern ing the Irish Charch question elicited tremendous cheering from the large number of Liberals pre sent. Ile deprecated the "No Popery" cry, and disdained the use of that cry, because he did not believe that the disestablishment of the Irish Church would be the means of the Roman Catho lics obtaining ascendancy. The good common sense of England would never allow Popery to get the upper hand. At present he was not prepared to support Mr. Gladstone's propositions, having not yet heard arguments to induce him to do so, but he trusted his mind was open on that subject as o❑ others ; but whatever might have been his views as to the disestablishment of the Irish Church, he told them candidly that he would not have supported Mr. Gladstone last session because the question had been raised as a party move. A vote of confi dence in the hon. member was passed, amid cheers from both parties. NOTTINGI:AIf. Sir Robert Clifton ha 3 retired from the contest for this borough. A deputation of his tenantry and others waited upon him at Clifton-hall on Saturday, for the purpose of persuading him to re consider his decision not to come forward again as a candidate. Sir Robert, however, declined, giving as his reason that he had no desire in any way, directly or indirectly, to assist in promoting the return of Mr. Marten, who had come forward as the Conservative candidate. it is said that Mr. Marten and his friends gave offence to Sir Robert by some of their proceedings at the inquiry in 1865, when he was unseated. Lady Clifton has just written the following ad dress to the women of Nottingham :—" La lies— Cherishing a lively sense of gratitude for the aid which I received from lady friends in Notting ham, when I had occasion to canvass in favour of my husband, and deeply sensible of the efficacy of that aid, it occurs to me that au effort should be made to enable women to exercise directly those electoral powers which hitherto they have not exercised at all, or only indirectly. In many of the large towns the names of women rate payers have been placed ou the register, and at the approaching election those so qualified will be en abled to vote. If this has been done elsewhere, why may it not be done in Nottingham? There are hundreds of women in the good old town who pay rates and taxes, thus contributing to all the ex penses of the municipality and of the State, but who have no voice in the disposal of the borough or national revenues. It has been decided by the Ministers of State that if the revising barristers permit the name of any person, male or female, to be placed on the register of voters, the person whose name is so registered shall be entitled to vote at municipal or Parliamentary elections. I would then suggest that those possessing qualifications among women of Nottingham, whose intelligence I appre ciate, and whose personal worth I hold in high esteem, should at once send in their claims on Tues day, the 25th, the last day on which claims are received. " GERALDINE CLIFTON." CHIPPENHAM.-A public meeting was held in the Temperance Hall on Friday night, for the purpose of forming a Liberal Association to protect the in dependence of voters. The resolutions were all carried unanimously in an assembly comprising a good proportion of the constituency. Sir George Young, the Liberal candidate, addressed the meet ing, and in the course of his speech mentioned that although he had not nearly completed his canvass, he had already bad assurances from more than half the electors that they intended to support him if they could. That such a condition should be added shows the necessity of a combination among the Liberal electors of Cbippenbam ; but we are informed that some of the principal landlords and employers have already declared their intention to respect the electoral rights of their tenants and work-people. CORNWALL (EAST).—Sir John Trelawny made his first formal address to the electors of East Corn wall on Friday, when a resolution in his favour was unanimously carried, after speeches of an interesting character from Mr. Robartes, M.P., Sir Colman Itashleigh, Sir Charles Sawle, and others. DEVON (Nouni).--Mr. Walrond has announced his intention to retire from the representation of Tiverton, and a requisitio❑ to him is being signed by the electors of North llexon. Ills colleague, on the Conservative side, will be Sir Stafford North cote, and his opponent Mr. T. 1). Aclaud, jun. A stiff fight is expected. SCOTLAND. FORFARSHIRE. The lion. Mr. Carnegie, M.P. for Forfarshire, addressed a meeting of the electors in Arbroath on Saturday—Mr. Duncan, of Parkhill, in the chair. Mr. Carnegie, in the course of his remarks, said that if the constituency again honoured him with their support he should go to the House of Com mons as an independent supporter of the Liberal party. lie had on various cccasions differed from that party—as, for example, on the first division on t! le Cattle-market 1311. lie was then of opinion, and was so still, th a t some me :sores were necessary to prevent the importation of diseased cattle into this country. As to the question of the law of hypothec, he was prepared to introduce a similar measure to that which he introduced two years ago. With regard to the law of primogenittire, he was in favour of putting real and "'personal property on the same footing, but he was opposed to the French ,1 system of compul sor y division. In reference t o I education, he said he was iu favour of a national and unsectarian system. A motion expressing con fidence in Mr. Carnegie was unanimously carried. THE NORTHERN BURGHS. Mr. Laing, M.P., has issuo 1 an address to the electors of the Northern Burgh; in which he states that he has completed his canvass, and that he confident that be will be again returned as their representative by a considerable majority. Ile says it gives him great pleasure to find that his old sup porters in 1852, with scarcely an exception, continue to support him, and that he has a very decided majority of the intelligent artisans and mechanics who have been admitted for the first time to the electoral roll. Mr. Loch's party, however, claim a majority in all the burghs except Kirkwall. 100 100 2 100 100 COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECUKITIEB.

On Sailarday afternoon Sir John Murray of Phi liphaugh, one of the candidates for the represen tation of the united counties of Peebles and Selkirk, addressed a meeting of the old and new electors of Innerleithen—Mr. Miller, of Leithen, in the chair. Sir John, in the course of his speech, denied that the country was indebted to the Tories for the Reform Bill, and said it was the work of the Oppo sition. As to the effect the Bill had on the united counties, he said that Peebles and Selkirk had been conjoined expressly for the purpose of making a safe seat for his hon. opponent. He had not the slightest doubt, however, that these counties would provide a safe seat for the Liberals if the faggot votes were excluded ; for the time had gone by when the tenantry would listen to any dictation, and they would think for themselves. If the assi milation of the county and burgh franchise wero effected, the counties would be able, in spite of the faggot voters, to return to Parliament the man of their choice for many years to come. On the mo tion of Mr. Duncan, S.S.C., Edinburgh, Sir John Murray was declared to be a fit and proper person to represent the united counties in Parliament. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
