MUMMA Itrycasu..—lt is stated by a contemporary
that Mr. Gathorne Hardy has tionamited to nalt Her
Majesty to gnat an entire remission of the sestinas
insaantir passed upon Augusta Mitchell by Mr. Payne.
THII final examination of the three members of the
Cawley gang of burglars, who were charged with lurk.
tog about the City with burglarious intent, and also
with baring skeleton keys in their pomession, took pleas
at the Mansion-bowie on Wedoeeday. They were own-
retitled for trial.

As M.P. FIN= FOR AN ANSAULT.—Mr. John Hardy,
use. for Dartmouth, had a little maenads the other day
at Tstenhsli. near Burton-on-Trent, in the shape of •
violent amault on &man whom he alleged to be trespaes-
int on land over which the worthy member has the
right of shooting, but which the poor servant-man, for
he was no better, bad authority also to sport over. The
Bench, of whieh Mr. Hardy, be it said, is • member,
took the liberty of fining him E. 5, with 15s. costa.
Tan ALTOS Monno&—The primmer Baker, since his
incemeration in Winchester gail, is described as very
talkative. H. frequently refers to the murder, and says
be wonders who could commit such a dreadful *rime.
His own conscience, he adds, is quite clear, and be hopes
that the guilty man will be found out. He appears
very attentive to hbi religious duties, and is very food
of conversing with the chaplain. The hops in Mr.
Chalaraft'e garden, where the horrible crime was pup&
trsted, were begun to be picked on Thursday, and the
police are rather sanguine that the eleariog of the
garden may lead to the discovery of the weapon with
which the crime wee committed. A large number of
persons, actuated by • morbid taste for the horrible,
still continue to visit the Beene of the tragedy.
Tairvue Lyrsituiras.—An ill-clad little fellow, nine
mars of age, named Michael Herron, was charged at
Marylebone police-court, on Wednesday, with 'being
concerned with •nother boy (now in custody) in stealing
eighteen skins of blacking from a shop. When appre-
hended he wu in 'on of "The History of Tyburn
Dick, the Buy King of the Highwaymen," and one of

follows rbey closed. Had a fierce etrugsle. Rolled
over. Parted. Rolled from each other. Rolled for-
ward again. Shanks got a black eye. Had enough."
And so on for two or three pumgee. Prisoner told the
constable that be and his companions had given names
to each other from the book, and that they had bought
the numbers as they owe out. There was a lot of them
Is it. The prisoner was remanded.
ATTIMPTING TO LYNCH AN INFAMOUS HUSBAND.—
Hannah Walsh was brought spat Vie Mansion-house on
Wednesday, for assaulting her huband Healy Walsh.
The defendant had been separated from her husband for
three years, and for slime time had bees leading an ill
life. She declared that her husband was cognizant of
what she did, and received part of the money she earned
by prostitution; but now he wanted to shake her off
Le es. genies on in the worm.
T▪
hey had been married thirteen years, and when their
means were limited they managed to live &trembly
together. So recently as February last her husband had
slept with her. All the assault that she had been guilty
of was to take hold of him by the arm and attempt
to walk with him in the street. Complainant denied
everything his wife said, and complained that she was
followed him everywhere. He did not want to have
anything more to do with her. The magistrate said the
defendant ought not to annoy her husband, and
advised her to enter into her own recognisance@ in £5
to keep the masa for six months. Public sympathy was
manifested in an unmistakeable manner on behalf of
Mrs. Walsh, and her husband, on leaving the court,
was followed by • demonstrative crowd so pertinaciously
that be bad to take refuge in • Hansom cab.

WAT.-Th. alteration in the tariff of the South• Western
Company for eonveying cattle has been a godsend to the
old corporation of drovers, for the roads in Somerset,
Dorset, Willa, and Hants are now erowded with cattle
going to and from markets and fairs. The expense of
drovers is only one fifth of the present expense per roil;
and though settle waste • little by being driven. they

the violence with which cattle trucks are shunted, and

Then pointing to the questions which a reformed

place to the ballot, the punishment of bribery, national
education, the reform of the unlvernittec the reform of

TIM DRUNK= VAGIMIIII OF TH. lecuYeere OF
Ethr l'ememoure.—A crommission eppointed by the
Bishop of Exeter to inquire into allegations of specifier
instances of habithal drunkenness against the Rev. T.
B. Simmon, the Incumbent of East Teignmouth, com-
menced their duties on Monday in the Chapter House
of Exeter Cathedral. The court sat for eight hours, and
we, engaged the whole of the time in hearing evidence
in support of the complaint. Witnesses gave cogent
teetirurny of particular charges of drunkenness, one of
which wee investigated by the Teignmouth magistrates
some mouths since. The new evidenee went to show
that the rev. gentleman on one occasion went into a
beerabop whilst the balls were ringing for thorah, and
when they stopped he went and performed the service;
alth that on Ash-Wednesday, 1866, he wen drunk whilst
performing the service, and that on mother 0061.1.11 he
treated a policeman to a glare of ale when he was the
worm for liquor. The publicoa who received the favours
of the rev, gentleman stated that he clerical customer
often drank four glasses of ale in lose than five or ten
minutes. On Tuesday the evidence for the defense was
celled, and on Wednesday the Commissionen decided
that upon the evidence in support of, and in refutation
of, the charges there was not a prima facie *sae made
out demanding further proceeding,. The commission
maintained a judicious reticence as to the reason they
had for arriving at their decision.
LORD VERNON ON AGRICULTURAL MAMMA—The
Rlght Hon. Lord Vernon presiled on Wednesday
evening at the dinner of the Derbyshire Agricultural ,
and Horticultural Society. In propoeine " Success to
the Derby Agricultural Society," he said that no one
who had watched the course of events in Parliament
during the last session could fail to see that the agri-
cultural class would have a great deal to do to hold
their Owe. One question of great public interest had
already been disposed of, and it was very probable that
others of most vied importance to the agricultural
community would in the next session be introduced.
One subject of particular importance—that of educa-
tion and the difficulties of labour—be could not help
referring to. He was glad to know that the middle-
class schools which had been projected in the country
were doing great good, and he sincerely hoped that the
sound rueful knowledge which the sons of farmers
obtained thereat would be m associated with the
principles of science as to be of great practical benefit
to them in farming their land. The difficulty of educat-
ing the agricultural labourer was, perhaps, the hardest
which was to be tnet with. As a mere question of state
policy, there could be no doubt that the rising genera-
tion ought to be properly educated. He was of opinion
the question was not to he looked at in its effects upon
the labour market, but in its effects upon the children
themselves. It was the duty of the state to see that
all claimer of the community were properly educated,
and he trusted that the time would come when the
child of every labourer would be decently taught.
Tug CIIMICIELLOR OF THE MICHIQUIS AT Bronze-

upon the country, but the right hon. gentleman observed
that he we, not up to polities in the month of
September, and declined entering on the subject of the
Reform Bill. He congratulated all around Ilia on the
result of the harvest. Whatever might be the accounts
iron other quarters, the pariah of Hugheuden ought to
be perfectly content with the ingathering—(cheers). It
was moat gratifying to and that there was not at this
moment, in the parish of Hughenden, • single able.
bodied labourer who WOA not employed at good wages--
(cheers). They were indebted for this remit to the
happy circumstances of that rural manufacture which
converted the raw material of beechen woods into the
sonvenient form of chain, not only for England, but for
foreign puta. Another cause of prosperity was the
highly improved husbandry of the district and the
amount of steak kept on the fare in the parish—(hear,
hear). Be was happy to say that for some time there
had been • oontinuoul improvement in the dwellings of
the peasantry and of the labourers generally—(cheers).
He was very much in favour of the building of new
cottages for the labouring population, but that was •
process which could only be 'gradually carried out.
Thrre was an immediate return, fox more valuable than
rent, which was to be acquired from the construction of
new dwellings, in the improvement of their health,
strength, and happinese But in addition to the building
of now cottage., he would recommend the improvement
of those already in existence. He wth glad to see that
the example which he had set was spreading, and hoped
that, at the 'next anniversary, the custom of improve-
ment would be found to have become more general than
It was at present- (sheen). He trusted that the
prosperity of Hughenden would long continue, and
thanked his neighbours and friends for the expression
of their good wishes—Ames).

AYTIAY OF A )(IDOLISES 11.1., WITH • " Etkaos."-
Mr. Henry Laboochere, the member for Middlesex, was
at Homburg wady in the presets: month, and while in
the KermW observed IL Farina in the company of
some American ladies of his acquaintance. He imme-
diately Ognified to one of them the Farina was a person
with whom they could not sonverse without compro-
mising themselves, on account of his antecedents.
Farina, noting a change of manner in the lady, men.
tioned the fact to the husband, and complained that
something had been said to his disadvantage. The
husband declined to give any explanation, beyond saying
that be held himself answerable for anything that his
wife had done or said. Mr. Labouthere, however, in
order to take the full responsibility upon himself, sub-
sequently went up to Farina, avowed his conduct, and
told him that he accepted the position of having advised
the lady to avoid him. Upon this Farina grew violent,
and was proceeding to assault Mr. L•bouchers with a
stick, when the latter loathed him by the throat, and
was about to treat him in the usual way, when the
spectators interfered, and put an end to the eondieL
Since the publication of these facts U. Farina has ap-
pealed to the public in a letter in which ha contests the
accuracy of lfr. Labouchere's narrative, and Insists that
he "threshed" Mr. labouchers to his heart's oontent,
and threatens him with another Bogging for harm/4701d
that be lives upon women. The seifetyled
writes :—" This Monsieur chimes to enter into the
details of a acandal, for which it is not enough for him
that he has been practically whipped. Let us examine
those details. He says I am not a baron. I defy
him to find • single person to whom I have

misunderstand the meaning of that term. He
says that on arriving at Homburg he saw me at

was not at my talole ; and in any ease there is a great
want of delicacy in mixing up in this affair the word

He says that I accosted the hothead of this lady and
demanded information of what had bran said. It is
untrue—the husband of the lady pieced himself at my
disposal, and I thanked him, telling him that I would
reserve to myself the right of wronging matters with
the miarrobie who indulged in such cowardly calumnies.

to eaglet at the proceedings as • simple spectator, he is

would Bight on account of a look, and who dews know
