In spector Kirkland said he received the prisoner from an officer at the Bow-street station, London, and the charge against him was that of wilfully murdering Charles Brett: On being charged at the static-, the prisoner replied; " I know nothing about it.' Mr. Superintendent Maybury : We shall have to apply in this case for a remand for a week. We have some evidence now in court which we can produce forthwith if the magistrates think proper.— Mr. Fowler : Oh, I have no difficulty in grant ing you a remand at once on the sworn information appearing on the face of the warrant. To the prisoner: Have you anything to say why you should not be re manded ?—The prisoner : Only that I know nothing about it. I hare witnesses to prove where I was that day, and that I never left the office at all until five or six o'clock in the evening.—Mr. Maybury : I may state, your worship, that the prisoner has been already identified by three per sons, who will prove that they saw him at the attack on the van. We have as yet had very few of the witnesses to look at hint. For that reason, and for others, I now apply for a remand.—Mr. Fowler : I remand the prisoner into your custody for three days. The prisoner was then rem,ved to the Abort-street station. He is a young man, with fair complexion and light hair. He was well dressed, and the overcoat he wore had a conspicuous ap pearance from the collar and la,ppel..: being covered with braid and fur. PRICE.. STAMPED 54. OF .r The propriety of giving parliamentary representatives to the universities (remarks the Times) has been frequently contested ; but though the three great Conservative universities have not, perhaps, made the best use of the trust they hold for the interests of the highest education and the highest intelligence, it is something that the prin. ciple of representing that education and intelligence should be acknowledged. It is at lust useful to know what a community so powerful and so diffused through the country as the graduates of the university think and desire on political matters. Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin certainly shew that the tendency - of the higher education in these_ islands, as it exists at present among the higher and the wealthier middle class, is to encourage a certain Conservatism on all matters political. Their representatives may not be conspicuously distinguished men, hut they are excel lent representatives. They are, for the most part, complete embodiments of the spirit prevailing in their respective universities. In adding a seventh to the number of university , members by the Act of last year, Parliament decided on an experiment of great interest. The University of London is one of the most remarkable institutions we possess. It has grown silently during the lifetime of the present generation, and almost unnoticed has taken a national—we might almost say an imperial— position. As most people know, it once coincided with and was identical with the college now called University College. But it soon outgrew thelimits of a single build ing and a single school. King's College, which had been rounded by members of the Church of England, in avowed rivalry with the secular institution in Gower street, became affiliated to the new university when the latter assumed a more general and abstract character. A few men of great eminence, zealous in the cause of education and of religious freedom, had watched from the first • over the fortunes of the new institution. It was exposed, of course, to every kind of obloquy and satire. It was godless, and it was also ungentlemanly. It was a dreadful thing, almost enough to .call down destruction on a city, that a place of educa tion should exist where Jews, Turks, infidels, and heretics met together, without any recognition of that The a k i l i e y a lad ttoo, s o p f i i r t e c w e o h u l l n d g rather a uni v n e o r s t i g ty n orthodox teachi ng w hi c h s h ould shew them the error of that a th n e c i i r it l w v a as ys s . aid education in Bloom s b ury was pronounced t o b e a b sur d ; to college at all than be doomed to such a place. But when the principle on which the university now rests was anted its success was certain and its progress rapid. That principle was that the university, as a cor poration, should keep clear of sectarian matters, ,and that it should accept the affiliation of colleges of every creed. In these colleges the students might have that religious instruction with which the university re frained from interfering. It thus united the secular and denominational systems, the university being secular and the colleges for the most part denominational. There are now some forty or more institutions which are in connec tion with the university as to degrees in arts and laws. Roman Catholic colleges, Presbyterian colleges, colleges for Methodists, Baptists, and other orders of Dissenters send students to be .examined by the central authority in London, and those who are successful attain a degree in the University of London, and will have s share in choosing their representative in Parliament. Speaking of the death of Sir David Brewster, the Standard says: Rich in honours, he descends to a tomb which seems radiant with the splendour of a marvellous intellect. The learned societies of the whole civilised world have showered their dignities on the Scotch philoso pher. Kings and emperors have recognised his worth, and the annals of science will make him famous for all time. The lesson which such a life teaches to mankind at large may not be lost. It shews how certainly in the search for truth those who seek shall find. It was not b 3 dreaming and speculating that the venerable Principal of the University of Edinburgh rose to his high position as a successful student of nature. Patient and intelligent industry was the secret of it all. It was here a little and there a little—a stone laid upon a stone—which reared the structure of his fame. Such men need no monuments at the hands of the sculptor or the architect. They build their own monuments, and leave imperishable records on the page of human thought. Neither does any one of these stand by himself. They are the advanced guard of human progress, the pioneers of intellect, piercing many a dark forest, bridging many a gulf, levelling one dia. eulty after another, that those who follow may find the way plainer, smoother, brighter, and better than it was before. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN. G reat excitement has been caused at Bromley, Kent, in Connection with the sudden disappearance, about a fort night ago, of a single young woman named Jane Jackson, recently engaged as a domestic servant, and who would in the course of a few weeks have come into possession of £l,OOO left her by a relative. All kinds of rumours were afloat at her sudden disappearance ; but the excitement in creased on her body being found in a draw-well in the gar den of Sandfield Cottage, Mason's-hill, Bromley, in the occupation of William Sparkes. There is no doubt that the body of the young woman has been there from the time she was missed. The Sparks family all the time were drinking the water, until they detected something - disagreeable in the taste of it, and on throwing down a grappling hook the body was drawn up and was recog nised as that of the missing young woman. The well is thirty feet deep and has ten feet of water in it. Judging from the sand in deceased's hair, and from the fact of its being impossible for the body to have turned round in the well, it was evident she went down head foremost. At an inquest held at the Compasses public house, Bromley, before Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, it appearel that a witness named Sarah Head saw the deceased about midnight in company with two men, named Partridge (the keeper of a public-house) and Dedman, be th of whom appeared the worse for drink. Deceased had lived at Parti idge's house for the last three months, and Dedman was a painter living in the neigh bourhood. They appeared to have pushed her out of Partridge's house about eleven o'clock at night, and to have used her very cruelly. The'lvitness Head told them they had no business to use the young woman in that way, or treat her so harshly. About one o'clock cries of " Murder" were heard by Mrs. Cook, landlady of the Tiger's Head ; by Mary Hayes, a neighbour of Partridge's ; by Henry Bennett, a labourer, and Charles Marshall, a labourer. The latter said he lay in bed and listened for some time to the cries of a woman and two or three other voices, and he heard cries of " Murder " repeatedly. The coroner expressed surprise that the witness did not get up and go to see what was the matter. Mr. Carttar had instructed Drs. Ilott and Rebee to make a post-mortem examination for the purpose of ascertaining whether death had resulted before or after the deceased got into the well, and they re ported that death had been caused by drowning. The jury returned an open verdict of " Found drowned," and severely censured Partridge and Dedman for their inhuman conduct towards the deceased. ALLEGED CRUEL TREATMENT OF A CHILD. The Brighton stipendiary (Mr. Bigge) has heard the preliminary evidence in a case which promises to develope some extraordinary circumstances. As formally presented it was a charge of assault preferred against a middle-aged woman of respectable appearance, named Charlotte Wing field. The child she is alleged to have ill-treated is her nephew, named Tugwood, who was allowed by his mother to live with her for several months at Brighton. Thomas Dunham, superintendent of the Bucks constabu lary, stationed at Slough, said he saw the boy Tugwood, who he was told was six years old, at Boveney, near Windsor, a few days ago. His mother was named Tug wood, and she was a widow. He went in company with a doctor to see the child, The doctor said he thought the child's life was in danger. There were more than fifty wounds and scars upon the child. Some of them were scars of old wounds which had healed up. The child made a statement in the presence of a magis trate, which was taken down. He said that a poker was heated red-hot, and he was burned with it every night. The inside of the child's ears were masses of sores, from which matter was discharged. The bridge of the nose and one finger were broken. The child was very emaciated, its bones nearly coming through its skin. Prisoner was great aunt to the child. She lived at Boveney last summer, and the child had remained with her till last Wednesday. The boy described the poker with which the injuries . were inflicted, and witness found that toe one produced answered to that description. (This was a short light poker, with the end much finer than an ordinary one.) He went with Detective Whittle to No. 1, Sudely-place, Brighton, and found prisoner. Whittle read the warrant to her, charging her with assaulting the boy Tugwood, and she became very excited, and ran about the room. She said she had not burned the child, hut that he was burned by her son Alfred, and that it was a conspiracy got up by the boy's uncle and others to get rid of her. He believed she referred, by the term uncle, to the man who kept her. She also said that her son Alfred had put some vitriol in a syringe, and sent 't over the lower part of her body, burning her. Her son Alfred was about 16 years old. The child had been living with the prisoner about seven months.—Prisoner said she was quite innocent of the charge. He was a very good boy, and never wanted beating. Upon her " word of honour" she was too fond of the child to beat it.—The prisoner was remanded till Monday.—Alfred Wingfield was next placed in the dock, and also charged with com mitting an assault on William Tugwood. On being taken into custody he said, " I never assaulted the boy ; it was my mother who did it ; I always treated lan very kindly." He further said that he took the boy home and slept with him one night in London, and gave him what he wanted. — The male prisoner was also remanded. WITCHCRAFT IN BERKSHIRE. —At the New bury Petty Sessions, s erks, Maria Giles, a mid wife, who has for many years borne the sobriquet of "The Cunning Woman," and William Tranter, a labourer, with whom she cohabited, were placed in the dock, charged with obtaining divers sums of money from Isaac Rivers by means of false pretences. Giles is an old offender, having been convicted on three occasions of crimes of this class, and in one instance she appealed to the Cold of Queen's Bench, but the conviction was con firmed, and she accordingly underwent the imprisonment to which the justices had sentenced her. The pro • secntor is a respectable-looking countryman, living in the village of Hampstead Norris, a few miles from Newbury. It appeared from his evidence that in December last be lost his watch—how he did not know—and hearing of "the canning woman" at Newbury, he consulted her with reference to his loss. He paid his first visit to her house on January 4 ; and having told her of his loss, she said she could get the watch back for him. She commenced by asking him to let her have 125., but as he was going a journey he could only 'spare half a crown, which she took, and then said she would chew him in a glass the man who possessed the watch. Giles next produced a glass resembling those usually attached to birdcages, and told Rivers to look into it. He did so, and saw something in the form of a man's whiskers, but no face. He met her again on Monday, the 6th of January, when she told prosecutor he must give her Os. Gd. to get some stuff from her chemist's. lie gave her the money, in the belief that she could get his watch back, but told her that if she did not do so he would have her put in prison. She had her hand on the table at the time, and said she hoped she would never take it off again if she did not get the watch back. Giles subsequently said that she must go over to Rivers's house, and she and Tranter and pro secutor went over to Hampstead Norris the same after noon. Tea was prepared for Giles and Tranter, and when they had finished the meal Giles said she must get about her work. Giles went out of doors for about half an hour, and on her return said she must have Os. 6d. more to get some more staff. She also told him she had been to the house of the man who had the watch ; that the man was very hardened, but his wife was more hardened still. Prose cutor gave Giles Os. Gd. for a second time, and Giles and Tranter left, but finding Rivers a profitable customer, paid him another visit on the following day, and Giles begged of him to let her have 255., as she would then get the watch back. Prosecutor still believed she would do what she promised, and therefore gave her the 255. Tranter assured prosecutor that Giles would " work it round all right ;" and Gilz.s, who represented Tranter to be her husband , s aid he could help her in her work. After this, Giles said she must go about her work. She promised that between twelve and one o'clock at night she would bring the man to prosecutor with the watch in his hand, and she instructed him (prosecutor) to remain in doors until she returned w ith the man ; but, said the prose cutor, " I might have been at home till now, as she never came again, and I neither got my watch nor money." At the close of the prosecutor's evidence, the priseuelli were r gmtnclgd fel further gwein#49, It is not easy,says the Star, to convey to the non-scientific reader any definite notion of what Sir David Brewster did for science. He will be best remembered, perhaps, in a popular sense for the invention of two pretty and interest ing toys—the kaleidoscope and the stereoscope ; but these inventions, of course, do not form the real basis of his reputation as a philosophic inquirer and explorer. The science of optics, as we have it, was in the main shaped by the genius of Brewster, who completed what Newton had begun, and linked scientific discovery with practical utility. The application of lenses and mirrors to lighthouses was an idea of Brewster's, which has been fertile in more beneficent results than it is pos sible for anyone to measure Turning from the practical to the theoretical side, Sir David Brewster's name is insepa rably connected with the development of the theory of polarised light and the chemical analysis of sunlight. These great scientific problems had been left unsolved at a legacy by Newton to his successors, and Sir Davis Brewster boldly accepted the inheritance. The Bishop of Orford, speaking upon the difficult sub ject of education in his usual light, witty, and entertaining way, gave it as his opinion the other day at Tunbridge Wells that it was impossible to' combine the voluntary with the compulsory, and that " by adopting compulsiot we should be taking the sun out of our system and substi tuting for it the miserable fabricated light of Price's candles." But the Post submits that the bishop has no right to assume any such impossibility before the thing has been tried. The voluntary and the compulsory are already combined in almost all the ways and paths of life. Every school in the kingdom, from Eton to the ragged schools, presents a case in point. Every schoolboy who has a task to learn knows that if he does not learn it willingly he will be. made to learn it. Every soldier, every sailor, every public servant is a living instance of the harmonious working of some kind of may-or-must system. All discipline is based upon it. All law is based upon it. And to those who desire to live in the exercise of their duty there is nothing galling in this combination of the voluntary with the compulsory. An educational measun which should impose compulsory rating upon districts which neglected, after due warning, to rate themselves, would press only upon the hostile and unwilling. To the willing it would be compulsory in no sense whatever, unless we are to say that an honest man's honesty is com pulsory because theft is punishable by law, or that it is compulsory upon a witness to speak the truth because if he perjures himself he will suffer imprisonment or trans portation. The opinion gains ground, says the Daily News, that nothing less than a royal commission will redress the grievances and reform the abuses (haw civil service. The anomalies of that service are so numerous and so deeply rooted that to attempt to cope with them by the wan dering inquiries of amateur commissioners is a certain way of rousing ill-feeling and disappointment. The Proceed ings of the committee appointed by the Treasury, com posed of Mr. Ward Hunt, Mr. Sclater-Booth, and Mr. Mowbray, are already criticised in official circles. The alleged object being to inquire into Custom-house grievances, it is asked, and with some justice, whether these gentlemen bring special knowledge or technical training to their task ; whether their labours are sys tematic and with a definite aim ; or whether the " inquiry " will leave off as it began, and have no other result than that of providing a glib but hollow answer to troublesome questions in the House. It is obvious that n mere co mplimentary visits to o ur Government offices and an exchange of civil ities with a few heads of departmentsain ted with w ill not enable gentlem en profoundly u the subject to make such suggestions for official reforin it would be the duty of the House of C ommons to accept.as The matter is too deep and complicated to be dealt in this pleasant off - hand way. The Custom-house h move mentlt is but a type of other movements in the same direc tion, and it is said that the pigeon -holes of the Treasury are at this moment choked up with petitions for revision from the various dep ar t men t s under its control. Any in quiry, to be useful, must be searching and extensive, and the allegation again s t th e T reasury Committee is, that it has neither the_power nor the knowledge necessary for a settlement of the difficult question it has undertaken. The Sheffield saw and jobbing grinders attribute the illegal coercion exercised by trades unions to the want of legal power to enforce their regulations, and pledge themselves to support no candidate for the representation of the borough in Parliament who will not vote for a Wig to legalise trades unions.

Thoroughly tired with the monotony of the vacation the majority of the racing fraternity evidently determined to make a more than usually early start for the season. Many well-known bookmakers and others invariably begin "business" at Birmingham, but this year the numbers of visitors of all classes from London, Manchester, and other important provincial towns, was considerably augmented. The Birmingham Meeting, however, judged on its own merits, is now one of the most important and_prosperous steeplechase meetings of the season,- thanks to the energy which has always distinguished its management. The programme promised capital sport, and it was apparently considered more than ordinarily attractive, inasmuch as there has seldom been such a strong muster of "the swells' at an early meeting. Indeed the "fashionable arrivals" were unusually strong on Monday night, the Duke of Hamilton and other conspicuous and noble patrons of the sport having reached Birmingham. Horses, too, were re perted to have come in in great numbers, and no little in terest was manifested when it was reported that the whilom Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase favourite Shakspeare arrived, and it became known that he would run for the Grand Annual on Wednesday. All the hotels were full, and at the "Queen's," although ninety beds were made up, not so much as a " shake-down" was procurable after an early period on Monday afternoon. Heavy rain and a strong wind ushered in Tuesday morning, and the worst fears were entertained concerning the weather. Shortly after the breakfast hour however, the sun broke through the clouds, the gale sub sided, and nothing could have been more delightfu for the period of the season, than the sunshine and keen air in which the reunion was inaugurated. There was an immense attendance of the working population and a crowded enclosure. It was a "scene" at the station all the morning ; and though thousands went by the iron route to Sutton Coldfield, the turnpike road was strongly patroniSed by hansom cabs and traps of all denominations. In the Stewards' enclosure and on the private stand we noticed the Duke of Hamilton, Lord Stamford, Colonel Knox, Mr. Reginald Herbert, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Pou lett, Mr. G. Bryan, and Mr. Carew. Among all these the most cordial recognitions were reciprocated at the re commencement of a fresh season. Bookmakers wero in strong force, a nd "shouting" was renewe d w ith grea tl vigour. The course was in splendid condition, and, as wil be seen, the fields were excellent throughout the after noon. Five chases were upon the card, the sport being fixed to commence at half-past 1, and punctually at that hour nine animals went to the post., and among them was Dermot Asthore. A false impression was abroad to the effect that Dermot could not run for this prize ; or that if he did go to the post, and won, he would be liable to dis qualification. The cause of this erroneous belief was be cause the conditions stated that the Hunt Cup was only for horses that had never won £lOO, whereas Dermot had actually carried off a hurdle race at Lincoln Spring Meet ing. Steeplechase rules, however, have nothing to do with hurdle racing and events on the fiat, and the 39th rule of the Grand National Steeplechase Rules distinctly states that " winners of hurdle races are not considered winners in steeplechasing." Of the nine runners favouritism was exclusively confined to 'relies and Tottie, as little as 7 to 2 being taken about Potter's greatly improved mare, and 4 to 1 about Tottie, who had the advantage of G. Holman's services in the saddle. All the competitors were disposed of excepting the t* favourites. who finished a complete match. At the last fence but one it was so close a thing that even money was betted between them, but Tottie, aftpr a fine finish, won easily by a length and a half. Tottie, who is a well-bred mare, was formerly trained at Epsom, and she is likely to be useful to both her owner, Mr. Morgan, and her present trainer, Holman. Sixteen horses were entered for the Maiden Hunt Plate, and all of these, with a single exception, went to the post, and the victory was achieved by the favourite, Black Swan, who was appa rently backed for a good stake by her immediate party, down to sto 1. The Sutton Handicap Plate brought out eleven starters, and of these Aco of Hearts and Joker, the representatives of Lord Poulett and the Duke of Hamilton, were established favourites at the respective prices of 5 to 2 and 5 to 1, and to these the issue was confined, " the Ace" winning, after a long and resolute finish, by a length. Mr. George Ede thus signalised his return to the saddle for the first time since his dreadful accident at Croydon by a successful mount, and it was agreed was never seen to better advantage. It is evident, despite the critical condition he was in for weeks, that ho has not lost an ounce of form, and he was warmly congratulated on the result.

When they had fairly settled down to their work, the command was assumed by Corkscrew, who at a good pace showed the way, Tottie and The Guide being his immediate attendants, and Order, Lady of the Vale, Lion, and Helice following, Dermot Asthore bringing up the rear. Except that Helice dropped into the rear no change occurred in the plough, and the competitors disappeared from sight in the park in the order mentioned. Corkscrew had still a commanding load on emerging from the park, in which order Lady of the Vale and Lion refused, and were not persevered. with. Ballysax and Tottie were nearest to the leader until the fence pre ceding the Stand, on nearing which Tuttie rushed to the front, and held a clear advantage passing the enclosure, Guide, Ballysax, Corkscrew, Helice, and Dermot Ashore being in close company. The field was further reduced before reaching the plough by the bolting of Ballysax, whose rider was unable to get him in the right track. In the ploughed land Tottie took a long lead, and Helice joined The Guide and,Corkscrew. Dermot Asthore, gra dually tailing oil, pulled up f, in the park. Corkscrew fell soon after passing the house in the park, and The Guide being in difficulties three-parts of a mile from home the issue was left to the favourite and Tottie, of whom the latter held the advantage to the last obstacle, which the pair cleared abreast of each other. Helice was beaten immediately on landing, and although Tottie had to be ridden from the jump she won cleverly by three-quarters of a length. Nothing else passed the post.

Black Swan was the first away, Doubtful and The Needy Mizzler following, Iconoclast being at the head of the remainder, and Magenta acting as whipper-in. When fairly in the ploughed land Black Swan was headed by the Needy Mizzler, the favourite, Doubtful, and Icono clast being the most prominent of the others. Bagshot disposed of his rider at the fence into the park, and went on riderlow. Come Agin Ras in front when they ap peared in sight, but those mentioned above still formed the leading division.

The Plea they made was that the landlords would not deduct the rates from the rent. Mr. Maudo said there would no doubt be a great deal of hardship felt for some time to come until the new law went on smoothly. If the landlord originally agreed to pay the rates he believed he was still liable to do so, though the tenant was made responsible to the parish.
