LADY GOOCH.

In the prosecution of Lady Gooch and Mrs. Walker,
on Saturday, for attempting to palm off • child upon
Sir Francis Gooch, it transpired that the child
belonged to a young lady who had run away from
school to be confined at Peckham. Mrs. Main, of the
Infant's Home, through whom the transfer was
effected, declined to give the mother's n 1,11141, and said
the transaction was entered in the register; upon an
examination it was found that there was no such
entry. At the glom of the evidence Mr. G. Lewis,
jun.. appealed on bilialf of Sir Francis Gooch for
permisidon to withdrew from the prosecution, as all
the mischief was now at an end. Mr. Newton took
some time to consider his decision.

On Friday afternoon a train crowded with pamen
running between Inverness and Wick was nearing
Lentran station. when the engine and five carriages
left the rails. Fortunately the carriages did not upset,

A SUGGESTION ABOUT
_THE DRAINAGE

.QiiiiiibN:'
To tm Edilor.

81r.—Now that municipal matters are quieted, the
state of the harbour is beaming • serious matter for
the future welfare of this town. Decisive steps should
therefore at once be taken to remedy its existing state.
and I would respectfully angled that the public as
well as the ratepayers should have • voice in the
matter, and that • public meeting be convened,
inasmuch as there are, I am sure, many practical men
who would willingly volunteer their views, out of the
many of which, doubtless, valuable schemes of drain-
ing would be advanced. It would also lighten the
load of responsibility which at present rests on the
shoulders of those in Council.
Those who are not orator' could have their sugges-
tions road by the chairman at the meeting. I beer
the next step is to have the waters of the harbour
analysed. But I, in my bumble opinion, think that
will not advance the project, for we already know that
Its waters contain a quantity of deleterious
substances, and thole, mingled with the *Mural
daris of mud, sand, ht., from the disintegration of
the surrounding country, which, in times past, have
been borne down by such transporting agenda' am
springs, rain, and the river Wey. It is precipitated
and tilts up, forming • sedimentary deposit at the
bottom of harbour, which in time, if allowed to remain,
would naturally be highly malignant to the surround-
ing jocalities.
Happily at present, the most offensive portions being
• light and superficial accumulation, with such an
immense body of water, having, too, so great an
Impetus , they, by • simple process, may not only be
removed, but effectively guarded against in future.
This process, being both inexpensive and simple,
which I would lay before you was tried, and effectually
succeeded in clearing away • great offensive mud-bank
In front of the MAINS of Parliament. It is by •
disintegration and raking, by means of a steamer pass-
ing and re-passing up and down, having exceedingly
largo and heavy rakes attached to her stern, thereby
lifting the mass gradually. The immense body of
water rushing out of the harbour would in a short
time so scour the bed as to leave it clean. However,
as I fear I have taken up already too much of your
valuable space, I will substaibe myself,
Your obedient servant,
" PIO BONO PUBLICO."

THE HORBE-FLE4H QUESTION.
To sA, &gator.

ir,—The writer ot letter " Ratepayer"
I n your last week's bane cannot, I believe, be in the
habit of reading the local papers easy often or he
would see for himself that no Implication was made
against the party referred to in my letter for working
his horses whilst in an unfit state, as I am prepared to
'gm with "Ratepayer" that the team of horses in
question is a credit to the island. Masters no doubt
are very often glad to place the burden on their
servante beck.; but I can only say that in this cue
" Ratepayer" requires a little more enlightenment (and
ire insolence), as the carcase was within 100 yards of
the residence of the owner of the pip; and, not only
that, but if "Ratepayer" will rich one of the fields
on the West Cliff he will there see the remains of
ether animals that have helped to feed the pigs.
"Ratepayer's" remarks on the medical officer of the
lased I am surprised at; but they fall in with the
general tenor of his letter throughout;, and I would
conclude by reminding him that abuse is no argu-
ment?

A RIOT ON A RACECOURSE.

A weer of a rather seriota character took place on
Wednesday on the racecourse at Shrewsbury. How
It commence I is variously explained, but the
probsbility is that the attempted lynching of a
welsher was the cause. The row originated in one of
the stands, and it speedily spread to the outside. The
'butters were tma off their hinges, people were
beaten down with them, and pieces of the broken
wood were used as staves or hurled, with gingerbeer
bottles, stones, and other missiles, indiecriminately
Into the crowd. The mob attempted to foroe their
way into the stand, but were beaten back by its
occupants, among whom were several respectably-
dressed females. A considerable quantity of the
woodwork in the interior of the building was broken
a crowd
way and thrown at the cwd below, and a large
number of pea emu in the stand *ought refuge from the
mina% which were hurled at them by lying on the
floor. A number of bookmakers were overturned and
their stools and stands broken up and thrown in all
directions. Several respectable People were injured
In the unlit. One man had his hand broken, and two
were taken to the infirmary with extensive cuts on the
head. A police-officer was beaten about the head and
kicked, but not seriously injured. The men who
commenced the dirturbance are strangers to the town,
but one man who we. taking a very prominent pert
in the fight, and who his been arrested belongs to
Shrewsbury.

MUTINY AMONG RUSSIAN SEAMEN.
We learn from Cronstailt that a report haa reached
there of • mutiny among the Finnish seaman at
Sveaborg, arising from discontent caused by the
peculatiorue et their Russian commanders. Six ring-
leaders are imprisoned in Sveaborg Citadel, and 34
seamen are confined under guard at the Navy
Barracks. A commission has been sent by Admir4
Lessovaky from Cronstadt to try the mutineers.

Another strike is reported la the ghee trade—ilie time
at Barnsley. A large firm at that place have just made
some alterations in their mode of work, by which, they
;seer% glass-blowers can, for g hours' work, earn from
Dr. M. to Ms. 114. per week. The men, however, state
that the new system means a r,duction of wages. and have

BLAXIMOILD Fits —Our November Fair wag held on
Friday, and was pretty well attended. More than 1,000
sheep were penned, and those sold realised the prevalent
high prices, sellers preferring to take their sheep home
again rather than submit to • reduction, as there is now

Tan ALlmeen Maine& —At the Wiocheoter aesiszs
Ammo Litman (113), • eervanC wee indicted f ir the wilful
murder of her new born female child, at Winterborne
Zeistone, on the 18th of July. Mr. Castle appeared for
the prosecution; and Mr. Matthews defended the prisoner
The facts of the case were extremely simple, and Mr.
Castle in opening the cam admitted that the nulyquestion.
for the Jury to decide was ea to the nature of osetala
words, an the real point of contention was whether the
child was borne alive or not. The prisoner was a
home mold in the service of Mrs Farquharson. near
Blandford. Her condition was noticed by her fellow
servants and others, bet no charge of • definite character
was made. She slept alone or. the 18th of July, but
left her room MACS or twice during the night.
Thereupon she was asked whether she had been
delivered of • chili, and after a time she admitted
that she had, and begged her fellow servanta not to
mention the circumstance to her mistress, but she
was informed of it. The rintdon of the servants was
then directed to the closet. A pima of lighted paper was
thro en down and they noticed the head of • child In the
, soil. The police e•TO communicated with an/ the body
was given over to a surgeon to make • poet eantem The
head was fearfully crushed and bruised, and marks of
violence were shown to be quite sufficient to mum death,
supposing the child had been born alive. The doctors
were of opinion that this had been the case by the
different experiments they had made, but some
exceptional circumstances favourable to the prisoner were
present. The child wee healthy, and it was admitted by
the prosecuting counsel that there was a certain amount
of doubt in the raw, which was also plainly stated during
the medical evidence. The judge hen: :WWI the case of
murder, and directed the Jury to return • verdict of
"(halite against the prisoner for concealment of birth

PARISH RELIEF.
To as Editor.

Sir (al otepayer of the parish of Portland, I have to
complain of the way in which several poor but respectable
widows with large families are treated, by the removal of
their perish pay partially, and in some caw altogether.
I would be the last to advocatar idle or &shooed persons
who indulge in drink, kc., having It; but where a poor
widow with a large family,—because she works hard to
keep Mssif and family clean and tidy, also to pay for her
children's schooling—instead of being encouraged, has not
only to suffer from the loss of her husband, but to lose her
miserable pittance from the parish—is hard indeol.
Let these familias go into the house,"and the Guardians
know that it coats the parish more inside than out. There
have been several nos in this !gland of late If the poor
widow can makelriends, she may succeed; but otherwise
she may work herself into an early grave, and then the
children be left orphan& Trusting that a word to the
vrise will be suffient, I ant

DASHINO ESCAPE OF • SHIP.

The violent gale of Sunday was felt with great severity
I on, and around Portland, when it raged violently from
I the S.W. nearly the whole of the day, and a quantity of
" glass was broken, while at llastletown the Essay cutter
I struck the pier. It was in the West Bay that the greatest
I effects were seen, the wane tearing away at the Beach
I as if they were living things, and threatening with utter
destruction any craft that got into the surf. The coast-
guard and fishermen were all on the look-out, and many
glasses were directed to the bay. About half-past 12
ere was a tremendoin downpour of rain which, driven
fiercely by the wind, formed • mist almost impenetrable to
the view, as fog. When the storm slightly lifted, a large
ship was seen in a dangerous position in the bay ; but her
new speedily descried the surf, and, taking advantage of
a merciful shift of wind to the W. ,4.w., she woo able to
bear up and sweep round the Bill, passing close by the Tar
rocks. About one o'clock one a the tremendously thick
rain-storms had just slackened, and the atmosphere

farther in than the Royal Adelaide when her danger was
Bret descried, and the straining sails and bending masts
of the present ship were anx;ously watched as she heeled
over to the force of the wind, looking beautiful as • ship
does when under such a strain. Of warn there was all
fear of earning away the mast,; but what good are
masts if to save them the ship goes &ebony so the
captain persevered, and "gave it to her," and most Pro-

THE LORS OF THE PRINCESS ALICE.
TIM SIOMIXO Ur OF 1111 COlOllO.

The protracted inquiry Into the circumstances et-
tending toe loss of life consequent on the collision
between the Princess Alice and the Bywell Cot!'
assumed Thursday an aspect of conclusion. Some
ten weeks have elapsed since the collision occurred,
and about 30 sittings of the court have been held.
Purim: the whole of this time the 19 jurymen who,
with the Coroner, have formed the court have been
met ss,iduous in their attention, and not one member
has been absent on any occasion. Mr. C. J. Carmar,
the coroner for West Kent, commenced his sun-ming-
upat half -past 10, and oongratulate I the j us 7 men on the
approach of the termination of the case and expressed
his intention to confine his charge to an epitome of the
e% 'dente. Certain imput.tions have been made se to
the extent of the injury, but be was perfectly prepared
juitify his action. It had been said to him that he
was going unnecessarily into the causes of the collision,
but the OCCAlion was unprecedented. Six hundred lives
had been lost at one spot, and the cause of their death
had to be ascertained by one court. The friends of
the demised, as well as the general public, were
mere than anxious t 3 have the matter thoroughly
investigated.

We uLderstand that the Trinity Ilorure authorities

the I:ywri, Castle, and, in returning him hia certificate,
exonerated him from all blame.
