EXECUTION AT WANDS WORTH.

SHOCKING SCENE.

Charles Taylor, 39, a carpenter, was executed on
Tuesday morning at nine o'clock within Wandsworth
Prison, pursuant to his montane' The prisoner warn
tried at the November Sessions of the Central Criminal
Court for the murder of his wife, Caroline Elizabeth
Taylor, a woman about his own age, by cutting her
throat almost from ear to ear. They real led in Tustin-
street. Old Kent-road, and the act warn committal on
the 18th of August. The reason why so long an
interval elapsed between the murder and the trial was
that the prisoner immediately after cutting his wife's
throat made a desperate attempt to destroy himself
by cutting his own throat, and fr some time his life
wag despaired of. Eventually, however, he recovered
sufficiently to be put upon his trial. The defence
set up for him was that he was insane at the time he
committed the act. Witnesses were called for the
purpose of establishing that plea, but the evidence
was not by any nuts conclusive. All the facts
tended to prove that the dreadful act was prompted
by a feeling of jealousy, and a belief that the unhappy
woman had been uufaithful to him. The jury. tarter
• very brief deliberation, found the prisoner cnilty of
wilful murder. The prisoner seems to have b •bassi
very well since his conviction, and to have been all
along prepared for his fate. He repeatedly expensed
hi.. wrow for the act he had eommitted. Ile passed
a restlees night on Monday, and on the executioner,
Marwood, being introduced into his cell, he rubon.ted
to the operation of pinioning without saying a word.

Mr. Pori thought after that they bad the power to
carry out the surface drainage, and the sooner a copy
of the resolution referred to in that reply, and the
piano, are submitted to the proper authorities the
better, and be proposed "That the requirements of
the Local Government Board, as expressed in their

with respect to the surface drainage of the borough, be
forthwith complied with, with the view of obtaining

proval of the plans."
Alderman Elms seconded.
Mr. Port 'tad it would be another twelvemonths
before they would be abs to get on with the an
drainage of the borough, and, in the meantime,
as there seemed to be the power by which they could
carry out the surface drainage, and as it was most im-
portant it aould done, he thought they should loose no
time in meeting with the Government requirements
Mr. Pope's motion warn carried.

(Trinity-street, of £l6), was accepted.

tended that fully • third of the flints were not hand-
picked.

Mr. G. DAVIS then raised the question of a proposed
alteration in sub-clause 1, of Clause 26, of the Building
Bye-laws, to the effect "That the party walls shall be
carried up to the side side of the roof covering only
instead of at least 15 inches, measured at right angles,
to the slope of the roof, or above the hhrheet part of
any flat or gutter, as the case might be."
No definite steps were taken towards the proposed
alteration.

for the official year which ended on October 31et, have

ascertained respecting the general resulte to indicate
clearly thet as far as regarois mere numbers there will
be • falling off of at least 5,000 on the total 208,000
which was reached last year. As regerds efficiency,
however, it is stated that the proportion to enrolled

increased, while there are numerous other evidences,

TM MPS OF nil TOWS HALL.

The worn condition of the steps of the Town Hall
was discussed, and Mr. W. Dunne moved that the
" noun" be cut off, and the steps left square. He also
made • very sensible suggestion which would counter-
act du wearing on one side which has hitherto pre-
vailed, Val.. that & handrail be erected on the side
nearest the wall. Ha, however. withheld • motion to
that effect till the peintieg be finished.
Aldermen Ginisevat thought steer they bad spent
the money they would not be satisfied with it, and
for the sake of • few more pounds they ought to make
the staircase as it was originally. He therefore
moved as an amendment that the "treads" be cut off
sad renewed with "nosing," as originally made. The
eine money would be very trifling.
Mr. W. TlliLle seconded the motion.
Mx. A. Pees supported the motion. He was quite
sure that the a 10a., the cost of carrying out Mr.
Durden's motion, would be thrown away, for in the
course of a couple of years they would go back to Mr.
Gregory's plan. The steps would look mean with the
" noeu" cut off.
Several members inspected the stepe, and Mr.
Alderman Gagnon! said he had further looked into
the matter, and was sure his was the most deeirable
plan.
On a division, the amendment was carried by a
1 majority of seven to three, the following voting for the
amendment :—Alderman Gregory ,Councillon Aldridge,
I F. Lock, A. Pops, W. Tthey, T. Coombe, and G.
Davis I said for the motion, the Mayor, W. Dtuden,
and T. Bennett.

BOY'S HEAD AIIATTERED IN A
TII EA TIM

A shocking accident occurred at the Oxford Theatre
of Varieties, New-road, Brighton, an Tures lay even-
ing, a boy's head being completely shattered by a
cannon. during the performance. Ling Look,
chinarnan, who describes h'inself Lithe "Lord of Fire,
Cannon, and Sword," who commenoed an engagement
at the Music Hall the previ as evening, was just
completing his entertainment when the fatality
resulted. On Tuesday evening, before commencing
his last feat, he motioned to the audienos in the gallery
to sit back whilst the cannon was fired, and before he
proceeded the chairman rose and explained his
request. Having thrust the point of the sword into a
small hole in the cannon, Lmg Look allowed the
sword to be poised in his mo ith. When the cannon WM
firedthechaugee ruck &lad named Srnythe, who was sit-
login the upper gallery, and who had his skull and brains
blown completely away. A moment after the accident
happened cries were heard in the gallery, and a rush
followed. Almost instantaneously an alarm of fire we.
raised in all parts of tbe house, and a panic ensued.
The greater portion of the audience made a rush for
the doers, but the means of exit being good, no persona
received any injury, although the crushing was severe.
Directly after the soaident happened a doctor was sent
for; but his services were of Do avail, death being Instant
Maisons. The police were quickly upon the spot, and
afterwards Ling Look warn taken into custody, and
formally charged with causing the death of Smythe.
He was much affected, and, in reply, wrote that he did
not cause the death of the boy, meaning no doubt that
he did not wilfully muse his death.

Whether ladies are ever to be eligible for election to
Parliament, it is not easy to prophecy. Nor are
opinl .ns at all accordant as to their fitness for the
duties of Parliam uteri, representation. But there
ought to be no two opinions as to the propriety of
ladies being elect,it to the I odtion of Guardians of
the Poor. There are in all, we delleve, twelve lady
kuardians, the maj 'city of whom are connected with
London union-. Neither of them has the rowdiest
ret.emblanc. to Mr, .T,llaby intel, the tyi e
unkindly ',elected by Chsrles Dickens tent c nninonly
found amongst the ;bit atithropic ladies of the present
day. The lady guardians, it rosy be sail, area, a rule
witmot domestic ties. They are at once womanly
and busioess-like, sympalietic sod yet intellectual.
Ni one could enigma them of entering upon public
duties from a craving after notoriety. They are
evidently earnest in their desire to understand
the problem. of poverty and to aid the helpless. We
have good authority fr ssying that In London their
presence upm the Boards harp been found invaluable.
As visitore of workhorses and schools • thonaand
details a-e observed by them uninstru.tel males would
pars by unnoticed. However, they are able to give
all their time to their duties, and to spend hours
where gentlemen could only epand minutes. Male
Guardians are, indeed, mostly men enraged In
business, and therefore °unveiled to perform their
duties in • perfunctory manner. It is most earnestly
to be wished that gentlemen who have retired from
tinniness would come forward for election to an
office which is too often c naiad to unfit hands or to
hands which are already full. In the meantime the
