SUBSTITUTETOR MEERSCHAUM.—It is said that if potatoes are peeled, macerated for about thirty-six hours in water, to which eight per cent. of sulphuric acid has been added, well washed with water, driad in blotting paper, and then in hot sand for several days, on plates of chalks or plaster of paris, which are changed daily, being compressed at the same time, an excellent imitation of meerschaum, answering well for the carver or any pur pose not requiring a high temperature, will be obtained. But this is not all, for if after the potatoes have been thus treateu they are futibei - thrtiod ILL iu rsultittuu I.:ol.llatutug per cont. soda, a substance, resembling stags' horn, and which may be used for knife-handles, &c., will be formed. Some of the most eminent political friends of Mr. Mill, both in Parliament and in the press, have found fault with the hon. gentleman's argument in favour of retaining the capital punishment in aggraVated cases of murder. Pro fessor Newman at length comes to the defence of the hon. member for Westrainster, - ag,minst -"the adverse criticisim of the Star. The paper in question argued that Mr. Mill had left out of view the religious element of the question, and expressed an opinion that the public would shrink from putting to sudden death the criminals of whose salvation it is most difficult to entertain a doubt. Professor Newman submits that this can have no other meaning than that the public believes itself wiser, tenderer, and more discriminating than the Supreme Judge. The public wishes to save the man's soul, but thinks that God will he very hard upon him, will make no such allowances for his guilt as man makes, and will inflict upon him a punishment (if he be executed) far beyond what we think he deserves. To him it seems clear that belief in a future existence is only one more reason in favour of capital punishment in certain cases. • A man who cannot have a new career in this world, who can only become more depraved under lung, I,,,poless punishment, which crushes out his moral existence, has in a future world an entirely new career, and, under an All-Merciful God, whose punishments can illy be for the beneQ of the criminal, he will have a prospect of moral iniprovernent after it had become im possible in this world. Any other belief of a future state is, he thinks, as irnpiotu.. , °sit is irrational. The Professor does not say what-claim a man has to a second career who hal failed in the first. THE RIOT AT DITKINFIELD. —At the Dulzinflehl Petty Sessions, a young man named Thomas Hatton, a factory operative at Stalybridge, was charged with being concerned in the riot at Dukinfield on the night of the IGth instant. Evidence having been taken as to the riot and damage committed •at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Chapel, the prisoner was identified as having broken a number of windows with an iron tipped stick. He was committed for trial at the Chester Assizes, but admitted to bail, his own 9f £49, and tWs stgoics of R2O each. _ .___- PRICE.... STAMPED sd. LO.ADO.N FREE AND OPEN cirußar ASSOCIATION.

On the principle that one ought to go abroad to hear news from home, we read in the Vienna Wanderer that a new insurrection is imminent in British India, having been fomented by Russian agents. Our Government is said to have discovered a plot, but a little too late in order to prevent an explosion, and Sir Robert Napier had been ordered to strike a decisive blow in Abyssinia or to make some arrangement with Theodore immediately, and to take back the British troops to India with all possible haste. The foundation for this statement consists pro. bably of the recent news of troubles among some Indian tribes, the reappearance of Perez° Shah, and the impend. ing alliance between the Amir of Bokhara and the Russian Government which we mentioned a week ago. It w,uild seem as . f fresh comp'ications were expected in this co ntrY.

His administration appears to be decidedly what was wanted. Among other things it is stated that he is so pleased with the 'conduct of the black and coloured population' that he has appointed several to positions of trust and emolument in the new island revenue service. The report just rendered by Governor Grant to the Colonial Secretary shews an appreciation of the needs of the island, and we now • learn that the culti vation of tea has been attempted on a large scale. Ik six and seven hundred young Assam plants were imported into the island from the Royal Gardens at Kew. The plants are said to give good proof that the climate and other conditions will be found suitable.

Mr. R. D. Shafto, who had represented North Durlia,ra in "the Liberal interest for more than twenty years, will not again offer himself as a candidate. A meeting of the Liberal Registration Association has been held at New castle, at which the names of several probable successors to Mr. Shafto were mentioned. Ultimately a committee was formed to selecra candidate. A Mr. Elliott will con- test the division on the part of the Conservatives. The Dublin correspondent of the Morning Pust te,tifies to the deep pain which the attempt on the life of the Duke of Edinl urgh gave to all classes of society in the I r i s h capital. The telegram describing the cowardly outrage cause 1 the greatest excitement ; its authenticity was for a time almost doubted, and, when a message came lator along the wires confirming the first announcement, the denunciations of the assassin generally uttered were accompanied by expressions of thankfulness that no mem ber of the villanous brotherhood had in any way endan gered the kindly feelings which so quickly sprang up between the royal visitors to Ireland and the Irish public. Had any mad enthusiast as much as insulted the Prince during his sojourn the people wt,uld undoubtedly have exe cuted summary vengeance upon him. This last actshows. what Fcnianism is; the patriotisin :.lust be degraded indeed that can be sustained only by the assassin's bullet, or the destruction of innocent people by gunpowder e::plosions. - - There was a great deal of excitement on the receipt of the intell:gence in London. The Athenwum Club filled the moment the rumour got abroad, and in many other clubs a similar interest ivas manifested. In the evening, at Drury-lane, at the Queen's, at the Haymarket,- and other theatres, the national anthem was sung, and the audiences displayed great enthusiasm, of course regarding it as an expression of thanksgiving for the safety of his Royal Highness. At Surrey Chapel on Sunday the service was conducted by the Rev. Arthur Hall, in the absence of his brother, the Rev. Newman Hall. He preached from the text, "My times are in Thy hands." He said the deplorable event which had been telegraphed on Saturday illustrated the text, and chewed that the lives and times of all penons were in the hands of God. It was through His .providential interposition that the deadly intention of the assassin was defeated, and tc Him alone they should be thankful for the almost mira culous escape of his Royal Highness. At the close of the service a special thanksgiving was offered up for hit escape, and an earnest prayer for his speedy recovery frotr the effects of the wound. The public mind is even now not quite at rest, nor will its apprehensions be fully allayk until further information is obtained and the safety of his Royal Highness is placed beyond all doubt. There is _ _ abundant evidence of the horror and indignation with . which the intelligence of the cowardly attack upon the Duke of Edinburgh has been received by all classes of the community. The detestation of Fenianism, which pre vious outrages hail rendered so general, has been deepene,4 and intensified by this malignant attempt to murder ar amiable Prince while engaged in so interesting and con . ciliatory a visit. The Home Sncretary received the intelligence just as he rose to address the gathering which had assembled a! Oxford to witnels the laying of the foundation-stone of a, Keble College. The right hon. gentleman read Lord Ee' more's telegram amid a profound sensation, which war followed by enthusiastic cheers for the Queen. Mr. Hard.) proceeded to say it was indeed - a fatal thing for Englan that she had found among the subjects of her Majesty mer who could have the baseness to wound her through hci children. It was sad to think that the country had met who, for the sake of dieturbing that country, would DO' - _ shrink from laying their hands on the innocent, on 0, young, and those to whom the country was devotedli attached. But it had already been she wn in that assembli that wherever the deed of this miscreant was related, would call forth throughout England a feeling of devote( loyalty to her Majesty and the Royal Family of thi, country, and a stronger determination, within the power of the law, and by the law, to pnt down this Fenians:o These remarks of the Home Sccrvtar,• were receive .1 a - ni , the warmest expressions of sympathy on the part of th, distinguished assembly to which they were addressed.

Speculation on the great race was checked this morning by the downhill of Pace, be tween whom and Formosa the issue was supposed to he, and the advancement ohthe French horse, Le Sarrazin, to UT premiership. At the same time it was announced that Lord Glasgow's, Strafford's dam colt hail broken down at exercise, and thus the three brothers Dawson, the trainers, have had the singular misfortune of losing ono after the other their representatives for the great event. The Prince of Wales's Stakes was the chief event on the day's card, bringing out a v ery goo d fi e ld of 17, in which the top weights, The Pal mer and Silonus, ran goo d h orses , though the former near home was shut out by the Duke of Newcastle's horse and liingsl an d, th e w i n ner; Wells, the rider of The Palmer, makin g an objection on that ground after the race.

The following account of an interview with King Theo. dore - is taken from a volume of "Travels in Abyssinia," published by Herr von Henglin, who saw him in April, 1862, on a second visit to Magdala : " It was from a long distance, on the slope of a hill, covered with a few clumps of trees, that we beheld the camp of his Majesty the Negus—'Negus Negest /Ethiepia, Theodore IL' The King was sitting in the midst of a circle of priests and officers, while in all direc. Cone spread long rows of tents arranged in groups ; the lanes between were thronged with a many-coloured crowd of soldiers, cattle, horses, and mules. A large open space separated the ground on which stood the royal tents and stables from the rest of the camp. Having gene through the necessary toilette in a great hurry, :wee . started on our way, surrounded by torch-bearers, thieugh a long line of Life Guards. We found his Majesty in a large tent, divided into two parts by a curtain of light cotton sheets. lie was dressed in a simple white red-bordered scharnma,) or cloak, and reclining M a •low divan, with • carpets spread out in ; to his right stood his 'Etschege, or confessor, and ..is left several officers, together with princes of the royal house. After - greeting us in a kindly though somewhat ceremonious manner, the Negus invited us to be seated on the carpets to his right, and then entered into conversation by means of an interpreter in the Antherian dialect. It has been the custom from the oldest times at the Abyssinian Court that the sovereign should not exchange words directly with strangers, but only through a confidential person called the AP. or Month of the Negus ;' such visitors must, moreover, be sdetl by a I3altradar,' or master of the ceremonies, looks to their corporeal wants. We began by tasting . delicious mead and honey-brandy, served out in eificently cut-glass tankards, in doses sufficient a) upset a giant,- and then, it being supper time, 'Our Baltredar' inquired whe , her' eve . deSired meat, Which we might have, although it was in the season of the strict Easter fast. On our reply that we preferred to live ••tecording to the custom of time country, there appeared instantly before us a capacious meieb,! or basket, covered with red cloth, and filled with fine wheaten bread, fruit, -and pepper sauce ; a similar basket, of like contents, was p befere the King's suite. The latter fell to at once, and • sitated their example, sitting cross-legged around on reeeele,' - and answering all the while- questions put, to us Wide, Majesty. After finishing our frugal repast, which brow s tye into the ey e s of our poor i doctor, the p e pp er &Klee .... being too str ong f ee h i m, the conversation .begemss mbre and more lively, till at last the Nereus threw o 8 eal restraint, and began to converse with us directly in Arabic, which lie spoke very fluently.' His Majesty had greatly altered since my last visit, in the year 1853. It seemed to me that his face had got darker ; however, the fire of his shrewd and cunning eyes was still the same. He showed an excellent memory, reminding me of things I had long forgotten ; among others, that we had once exchanged the vows of brotherhood, and that I had told him on that occasion he was the man to save Ethiopia from ruin, and restore it to its ancient glory. In the end, I congratulated his Majesty upon the victories he had achieved since I had last been on a visit to his Court, with which the audience came to an end, the King telling us not to forget to ask for anything we might lesire, as all that he owned was at the disposition of his We had scarcely returned to cur tent, when a number of royal servants arrived with presents—one bring. ing a fine ` marg,ef,' or woollen cloak embroidered with silk ; a second some beautiful crystal goblets, richly ; a third, several vessels with mead ; and a fourth, a cow's horn, three_ feet long, filled with honey-brandy. The next morning, and every morning after, a royal mes. sen se er e inquired after ur health, in re ply t o w hi c h we - . c despatched Rumba to wish his Majesty `geed morning,' after the custom of the country." rout atten some rnagl riend The following names of the principal persons who were held in Captivity by King Theodore is taken from the blue book which was presented to Parliament a short time Mr. 11. llassam (Syrian), agent of the British Govern- 2.

It will be seen from one of the telegrams that sixty prisoners in all were released, and are now on their way tc Zoulla. Those not enumerated in the above list consist of European workmen tempted to Abyssinia by Theodore. and detained as captives. A sad accident occurred at Chicago on Good Friday. The Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Mary was filled with worshippers, and the weight of the multi• tude caused a portion of the floor to give way, which, raising a great dust, led some one to cry " Fire !" A terrible panic ensued, and in the rush that was made for the doors four women were crushed to death, and twenty or more persons were seriously injured, three of their having since died. FIVE MEN DROWNED IN THE SOLWAY. —A fatal accident of a very disastrous kind occurred in the Solway Firth on Sunday afternoon. Five young men, employed at Annan, set out from that port in a small boat, rigged o u n p t i i % l i e t l e i sail, nbe ri a a s(l i s l,l crossed ahoron the :ftelr Solway iillo7lre:,otheo(ii l itt i r iif t ( : ,,i t rr t ( k h ; o ntie s n v a is l i Nt e ,iiot i thhieer'bfebt3tr'idael.'d in the They ba , l not proceeded halfway across when it wai ' o b ser ved from the shore that theh mast h a d got wrong and the sail swayed over the side. Shortly afterwards the boat capsfzed, ani all the five men were thrown into the sea. Three of then sank almost immediately, being quite unable to resist the powerful force of the ebbing tide, and were drowned but the other two clung to the overturned boat, whicl drifted down to the railway bridge whicl,othnetcloyrbooitsatlsv,teomsfivisitaii; Firth below Bowness.

Shortly after., wards the count was wounded in battle, and was invited to come home to be nursed ; but he refused to enter his father's house until his discarded wife was turned out of doors. The poor lady left for Munith, and there she lived in retirement. Mrck now find a new character in the story—Julia do Eber. crenyi, a canoness. That title indicates one who, though - s ill remaining; in the world, professes to devote herself to religion and good works under the sanction of the Church; lalt in this ease Julia became the femme dc liaison of the Count Chorinsky, and she probably bolt e d to become his wife. The first wife. however —the discarded alress— was still alive. Who plotted the subsequent actions will :ewer, las - haps, he clearly known ; but a lady from Viehna visited the wife, obtained au interview with her, end in some: way seems to have won her temporary confi dence, as they had apparently arransed to go together to the thestre. But when the carriage arrived, the two ladies had disappeared, and the wife's door was locked. The next day it was brsken op en by the police, and e poor %roman was found dead—poisoned by cyanidet h of potassium. There was nothing to indicate suicides . nothing to suggest robbery ; and of course suspicion fell 'on the strange lady, . The husband was arrested, and oss him was disc overe d a photographic likeness of the sus.'', pected visitor ; and it eventually proved to be the Count's mistress, Julia de Ebergenyi, who had visited the Count's wife—this time Rosamond tracing Queen Eleanor to her bower. It was also ascertained that the husband had enntemslated marrying the canoness, and thus a motive for the murder was suggested. Julia has been senteneeds to twenty years' strict imprisonment, with a week of solitary confinement once a . year. It is not stated whether the husband is also to be tried for the offence. Few.story. tellers of the day would dare to heap up incidents so Sug. gestive of mere romance—the young officer of noble birth marrying an actress for love, then discarding her ; his father adopting - her ; the wsrrior brought home wounded, but his wife to be expelled ; her retirement to a quiet home; his liaison with a canoness; her guilty hopes her bold stroke for a husband by killing off the wife ; her discovery by means of a photograph. It is real life ae-ainst Miss Bradden, and real life an easy winner. men guages. 1
