FATAL GUN ACCIDENTS.

On Monday an inqueet .784 held at Waddesdon, on
the body of Thomas Parrot, labourer, aged thirty-five
years, who was accidentally shot on Saturday morning,
while in search of game. Tbe deceased was a married
man, and leaves a wife and two children. His widow,
Maria Parrott, stated that her husband left home on
Saturday morning, about five o'clock, and took his
gun. In about an hour afterwal de he was brought
home with a large wound in the side. She wished
him to be conveyed to the Infirmary at Aylesbury,
but by his deqire he was brought home again, and
expired the setae evening. He told her the accident
occurred as he was getting over a hedge, with the
barrel of the gun in his pocket, when it caught and
fell on his toe, whioh caused it to explode, and the
contents were lodged in his side. A labourer, Thomas
West, saw the deceased in Mr. Bliss's field on the
morning in question. He heard the report of the
gun, and went towards the place, where he found the
tiling groaning hum pain. His clothes were
shot into his body, and wan alio burning, Is &led

To the F:ditor of the" Observer."

Enrron.—l am extremely sorry to And that Mr.
Beek still persists in pushing himself before the public,
and I must say if he bad spent the time he has wasted
in writing his two silly letters in perfecting himself on
the instrument he professes to ploy in Cradley Church,
it would have had a better tendency to raise him in the
estimation of his lellow•parishioners.
As regards the " invisible blues " that Mr. Beck seems
to hare sue), • Rredeliction for, he appears to be more
intimately acquainted with them than I am, or wish
to be; but if I may judge from the tone of his letter he
has formed • very bad estimate of the majority, for he
says, " I consider Mr. Disorient worthy of recompense
because he does his duty, and there ace few who do so."
Does Mr. Beck do his? . .

Again, if Mr. Dennaot has done a great deal towards
reforming the people of Cradley there is still • great deal
more to b.: done, and I must say if he has only been the ;
means of reforming one individual it is mere than Mr.
Beek has either done, or tried to do, as be luti said that
he " did not see what a working man's child wanted with
education." Thank God, some do see the necessity, for
I contend that if education was not given to the pour in
Cradley as well as elsewhere, we should see larger groups
of rigged, filthy, and ignorant creature+ assembled on
the footpaths for the sole purpose of annoying parties
passing and repassing on the Sabbath day, and izstead of
two policemen we should require twenty.
Mr. Beck brings hie minister into question;
.now I
think Viet as there is a wide difference between • =water
and a policemar, he should, for the sake of the cause he
hoc has espouse°, have left hino out, as it oidy strengthens
the conviction of the public that it was not Mr. Deenant
but himself But he wished to bring under their notice.
Again, I beg to inform Mr. Beek thot there are older,
wiser, and more influential men In the Parish of Cradley
than he is, and if they had thought Mr. Dennant deserved
a medal as a token of their respect, depend upon it thy
would not have waited for a beardless youth to remied
them of their duty.
Mr. Beck, I hope, will not misconstrue anything I bare
said about Mr. Pennant. I regard tom as • men paid by
tend Psutubilliye ttepwre:lef ire ofthtehe peace,
wherepmlm lie is stationed.
If he he does his duty he should be respeeted for it; if
; not he ought to be censured. But, as Idu not reside in
the parish. I can neither speak for him or against him.
; Mr.-Beck is still • child, and being such, is destitute of
satlicieut knowledge to enable him to judge what weal,'
ho beneficial or what would be injurious to him, he
must leave it to the discretion of those older and wiser

SIMDEN DEATH of the REV. FRANCIS

BOLE.

The Rev. Francis Hole, rector of Georgeham, and one
of the Barnstaple bench of county magistratea, died
suddenly of apoplexy, on Sunday morning, at hie reai-
deuce. Tne deceased had been rector of Georgeham
for thirty.five years. It will be remembered (days
the Western Daily Mercury) that the name of the
deceased gentleman was brought very compicuously
before the pubic a short time ago in connexion with a
ca. of "Justices' Justice "that was perpetrated at a
Pitting of the Barnstaple bench of magistrates on the
26th ult. A farm labourer, of the name of John William,
was summoned by a Mr. Harris, of Bittadon, for ab-
senting himsell from hie service without leave. The
defendant did not deny the charge, but asserted in self-
defence that he could never get any money from the
complainant, and that as he had a wife and child
to support he couldlit live on nothing; whereupon the
chairman (the Rev. Francis Hole) excitedly said:
"John William, you have heard what your master has
proved against you. Do you think, sir, that the ma-
gistrates will tolerate such conduct as that, sir? I
will make an example of such blackguards as you
are, sir. If the rest of the magistrates encourage such
a set, I won't sir. You shall have fourteen days'
hard labour, and see if that will cure you and all your
kith and kin.' The exceedingly questionable sentence,
and the extraordinary language of the deceased in
passing it, gave rise to much comment at the time in
the puolia pre.. It is supposed that these strictures
have had an injurious effect upon the mind of the de•
ceased, though it is also thought possible that coin.
munications of an unpleasant character which are un-
derstood to have passed between the late magistrate
and the Home Office have not been without effect.
We also learn that the deceased magistrate has been
the recipient of numerous communications, mostly
anonymously written, in which the writers have used
language that must have been very painful to him.
After about ten days of incessant worry his constitu-
tion gave way, and he fell • victim to death. The
rev, gentleman's illness was of short duration, and at
an early hour on Sunday morning his children were
called to his bedside to witness the termination of the
melancholy scene.

PROPOSED FRENCH LOAN OF A
THOUSAND MILLION FRANCS.

The Brussels Independanee states that the Duke de
Persigny has addressed a memorial to the Emperor,
containing various suggestions as to a new policy, and
amongst other things the issue of a loan of a milliard
of franca, forty millions sterling, for works of peace.
This peaceful sum, however, would include a hundred
millions for the conversion of muskets. The rest would
be devoted to effecting the conversion of the Mexican
Loan into government stock, assisting the sufferers
from the inundations, giving work to labourers, and
especially providing for unforeseen events. It is added
that General Fleury and Baron Hausmann approve
of this scheme, and have recommended it to the Em-
peror. Combined with this statement are rumours of
ministerial changes in France, including the retirement
of M. Fonld and Marshal Bandon.

SHOCKING MURDER AND
.SUICIDE OF

TEE MURDEEE.

On Saturday eveniniA the inhabitants of Woleing-
barn, situated ten miles from Bishop Auckland, in the
county of Durham, Were startled by a rumour that •
man had killed-his eweeth,art by cutting her throat:
The unfortinate victim was a young woman named
Mary Ann Newton. She; was twenty-two years of age,
and was a servant to one f the jaatices of the peace
for Westmoreland. The perpetrator of the deed is a
man named Bowman, of Woleingham, and aged about.
twenty-three. years About seven o'olock in the
evening the unfortunate young woman was going out.
to the back door for the purpose of bringing iu some
coals, when she was Woad to give a most heartrending
shriek, as if in distress . One of the other servants
employed in the house, hearing the noise, instantly ran
out, and she observed the deceased running staggering
towards her, but ere she reached, her the poor girl fell
to the 'ironed. The servant who had run out noticed
• man mining away.. Assistance came, and on the ,
unfortunate young woman being lifted up it was found
that she was weltering in blood, her throat being cut
from ear to ear; and on !miller examination it wae
discovered that her left hand was also mutilated. She
died almost instantly, It soon bemme known who
the perpetrator if the deed was from the fact that the
man Bowman had for a long time previously kept the
Young woman's company. A telegram was sent to
Superintendent Robinson, at Stanhope, and other
places, but it was not till daylight the next morning
that the officers were able to take up the traw, which
was followed up to the Waskerley Burn, • tributary of
the Wear, to a deep hole, upon the edge of which •
police-constable discovered some footmarks. A rail
' was procured from an adjoining hedge, and the
constable at once commenced to search th• place.
The hole was discovered to he eight or nine feet deep,
but after a lapse of a few minutes a body wail brought
to the surface, which proved to be that of Bowman.
It was found that his throat was also fearfully gashed,
at once leading to the conclusion that the murderer
had committed suicide.

For a long time past it would appear that Bowman
had kept company with the unfortunate young woman
as a lover. She, however, lately had opposed his ad-
vance., and peeing that he wan so slighted by her, and
also being jealous of • rival, Bowman at once con-
templated the horrid deed, and made hie way to the
house of her master, soon after dusk, where he waited
for his victim. On hie pocket.. being searched, • large
pocket knife was found in one of them, covered with
blood. The knife to all appearances had been sharp-
ened for the purpose of committing the horrible deed.

SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A
SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.

A singular charge was heard before Lord C. Russell
and two other magistrates sitting in petty sessions at
Woburn on Friday. The complainant wan the Rev.
William Cuff, baptist minister of Ridgmouut, and he
charged the defendant with having in his capacity of
superintendent of police forbidden him from going on
a piece of hind called Toddington.green and preaching
therein.
It appeared that the piece of and in question is In the
centre of Toddington, and the inhabitant, claim the right
to use it for the purpose of public meeting.. lir. Cuff had
lamed hand bills, stating his intention to preach there
Soon afterwards the defendant callet upon him, corning to
his house in a cart in which were two prisoners handcuffed,
and informed him that Toddington green was the property
of Major Cooper, and he forbade him preaching on the green,
and on Mr. Cuff saying he intended to preach there he re-
plied, '• Then !shall take you for stopping the thoroughfare."
On the day appointed, however, Mr Cuff, accompanied by
Mr. Walker, another minister, went to the spot, wiv re hews,*
met by Police-urgeant Ogden, who forbad• him preaching,
but he did preach, nevertheleu. The chairman said the de-
fendant had been with them as superintendent a great many
years, but for that fact the magistrates might have felt it
their duty to represent his cue as one requiring dismissal.
But they aid not no that—they thought it was an error of
judgment on his part, and should take no further steps in
the matter beyond their expresilmt their opinion upon it
It wu the unanimous opinkm of the magistrates that he had
suet ed.t his duty, and they were much surprised at the cir-
cumstance after his long experience ; .sth. same time they
were le I to think that the contusion of their opinion would
he sufficient to prevent Cr. petition of the act which firmed
the subject of the charge. Ile would only add, the parties
were stt.l open to indict the defendant before the grand Jury
at the quarter session.

Mr. Willis, who appeared for the complainant, then
said after the expression of opinion by the bench his
clients were perfeztly satisfied, and would let the
matter rest. The subject seems to have excited a
great deal of local interest, audio the subject of angry
contention in the local journals.

A WOMAN'S INVENTION.

At Berlin, on the morning of the entrance of the
victorious troops, • young and distinguished officer of
the Cuirassiers, who had received a cut of the sabre
from an Austrian Uhlan, was paying a visit to his
fiancee, a young lady attached to the Queen's house-
hold. Her lover entered her salon in his full uniform,
and wearing his helmet, but on taking a seat near his
fair lady-love he took off his helmet and put it on a
small table in front of the fire. By some sudden
movement, however, the ',puny officer upset the
table, and the helmet rolled into the fire. There was
an expression of dismay caused by seeing the horse-
tail of the helmet catch fire and burn away in an
instant To join his regiment and pass the King
wearing a singed helmet and one guiltless of a horse-
tail was utterly impossible, and still less was it possible
to absent himself on such a slay. One exasperating
fact was that the helmet was burn behind; the wits
among the crowd would therefore, imagine that the
had received • shot while flying from the enemy.
Needless to remark that every shop in the city of
Berlin was closed. Suddenly Romeo's fair Juliet
started, seized a pair of scissors, and in a few seconds
cut off the whole of her magnificent eheveture dorm,
and with marvellous ingenuity fastened it to the
scorched helmet Thus Graf von rode at the
head of his squadron of Cuirsagers with a &wing
trophy of love and devotion.

HORRIBLE BARBARITIES BY THE
PALERMIAN INSURGENTS.

A Palermo paper tells a story about one of the in-
surgents who having shot a young soldier down, rushed
forward to despoil him of what he had in his pocket,
when to his horror be discovered that the dead man
was his own son.—The same journal also narrates a
horrible story about a guard of the Public Security
named Sartori° who at Minilmeri was taken by the
brigands and condemned by them to be bitten to death,
because he had prevented the sale of pork in that
town. The wretches had followed out their barbarous
sentence, sad the poor fellow warn literally eaten till
death. If this is true it would seam that the Sicilian
lower orders are as bad, if not worse, than the Indian
Sepoye, or the Maori rebels.

A further report of the Royal Commissioner in
Palermo appears in the Official Gazette of Turin.
The following extract from that document asserts
the perpetration of acts so fiendish in their character
that it is to be hoped, for the credit of human nature
in general, and in particular for that phase of it which
exists in our own civilised tauter of the globe, that
there is a very great exaggeration in the statement of
f acts :--

A liege number of agents of the public force were
massaged In • brutal manner. An artilleryman was found
crucified In the Vittoria quarter; the eye• of the unfortunate
man hid been torn out, and he had been mutilated In •
horrible manner. Near Saint Antoine • carbineer who Mid
refused to cry oat 'The Republic for ever," wa• stunned by
a blow on the head, and then thrown on to a Cursing pile
which the monks of the convent had lighted. AI the gates
of the convent and at Montereale the flesh of the corbl-
nmers killed was sold at so much the piece. Alm, at
all the religious houses gave an asylum to the rebels.
The monks fired on ths soldiers ; at the Royal Palace
the White Benedictines were seen to aim from the
windows at the troop., and when a shot told they
cried out " Viva Santa Rosetta!" At fdislimerl some
horrible massacres took place. A local guard named
girtorlo was condemned by the rebels to be torn to pieces
with the teeth, and the women undertook the execution of
that fearful sentence The man was bound, arni the women
having been let loom upon him, tore strips of flesh from Ms
body bad limbe. He was soon horrible and bleeding mute,
suffering tortures which cannot be deacribed. The monks
et lan L;oasimo kept tolling their bells to excite the infuriated
people, gone were occupied Bring on the troops, while
others distributed powder to the rebels. Those of the
convent of Stimneate distinguished themselves by an email
ardour In encouraging the insurgent. Alm'," en the
religions housee were centres of re-action, and to them mast
be attributed the misfortunes of Palermo.

RATHER SHABBY!
(From the City article of the London Timta)

On the 19tth ult. an extract was given from a nom-
mtmication which had appeared in the Engineer,
stating that Mr. Snider, the inventor of the breech.
loader of that name, was lying helpless and paralyzed,
and that he had "not been able to obtain one
penny from the just and honourable and beniflcent
Government of this great country," although his in-
vention has been accepted by them and is being ap-
plied to the conversion of the Enfield rifle as fast as
! existing arrangements will permit Toe taunting
tone of the statement was not such as to invite entire
reliance upon its accuracy, and • belief was expressed
that it was one of those highly-coloured pictures likely
to be dissipated upon inquiry. But,
i however ques-
tionable may have been the style n which it was
conveyed, and for which Mr. Snider is not answerable
there is reason to fear the charge is not without founda-
tion. So tar back as 1859 Mr. Snider' it appears,
presented the Storm system of breech-loading to the
English Government, and was called on to convert two
Enfield, upon that plan. Subsequently it was sug-
gested the ammunition shld be made uyaiGovern-

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL IN BELGIUM.

Risk Allah Effendi will shortly be tried in Brussels,
for the supposed murder of his pupil at an hotel in
that city. The press in France and Belgium herr, says
Cialtgnani, been for some time occupied in preparing
the public for the denouement one of thoee romantic
dramas which large cities occasionally afford. The
career of Risk Allah Effendi has been full of incident.
The gay circles of London abounded at one time with
gossip relating to the then young Turkish student, who
wag following the lectures on medicine at the London
University. His Oriental costume, his prepossessing
appearance, and the fluency with which be spoke most
language., rendered him a general favourite. He
received from the Ottoman Embassy in London the
title of medical attache. After paying attention to
several ladies of fortune, be eventually attached him-
self to a fair dame who, having been twice the widow
of men of fortune, were not so happy a, they might
be, and after a short residence at Boulogne the lady
died, bequeathing the greater portion of her wealth
to her husband, Risk Allah Effendi; but a sum of
money was left to a young lad, a relation of a
former husband, on his attaining his majority.
Rimk Allah was by will appointed his guardian and
wee to pongees the amount bequeathed by this legacy
if his ward died before coming of age. Risk Allah
took the young man to Turkey, where he assumed the
rank of bey or colonel. It was said that the youth
escaped from various dangers whilst in the East.
Together they eventually returned to Europe. As it
may be remembered, a great cessation wan produced
by the accounts in the journals of Brussels of the
suicide of a young lad in that city towards the end of
last year. 'This was the young man to whom Risk
Ahab was guardian. A judicial inquiry took place,
and Risk Allah Effendi was placed in confinement for
several days, but there was a want of evidence that he
was in any way connected with the death of the youth.
He came to Parte after the investigation, where he was
received by numerous friends, anxious to show their
sympathy for • person accused of • crime of which he
was declared to be altogether innocent. He at this
period published a volume, containing a narrative of
his life and adventures, which was eagerly read by a
wide circle, for he had many acquaintances. In this
way he penetrated into certain circles in Par* and
waa regarded as an amueing person. Not very long
since he returned to London again. Meanwhile the
Belgian police got hold of some correspondence of •
Turkish servant of Risk Allah's connected with the
death of the youth, who was found dead in bed with
the pistol by Ws side which had inflicted the mortal
wound. The Belgian minister at London was ordered
to demand his arrest for a criminal offenoe, and he is
now in prison at Brussels, waiting • second trial,
which comes off at the end of this month.

Revising Barrister, attended at the Star Hotel, on Mon-
day, for the purpose of revisirg the Parliamentary voting
lists for the parish of Kingswinford and the hamlet of
Arublecote. Mr. B. Price apj.eared on lo half of the
Liberal party, and Mr. W. A. Green, (from the office of
Messrs. H. E. Underhill, Wolverhampton) represented
the Conservative interest. lhero were 24 new claims
for Kingswinford, all of which were allowed. Mr.
Thomas Knowles, assistant-overseer, appeared for the
Kingswinford overseers, and in the revision of the list
pointed out the names of persons deceased, and those to
whom the overseers ebjerted. Mr. Green made 17 ob-
jections, 16 of which he sustained. In consequence of
the non-Mtendance of the Amblecote Overseer, Mr.
Somerset adjourned the proceedings to Kinver. Luring
the revision of the Kingswinford list Mr. Limellyn, of
Quarry Bank, was struck off in consequence of sprinters
error, the claim being made for the property at Brom'-
. grove instead of quarry Bank. The Revising Barrister
said he was sorry for Mr. Llewellyn, but he could not
' alter the claim without evidence, and this was not forth-
coming. The only thing to do under circumstances
would be to make a fresh claim next veer.

THE SHEFFIELD OUTRAGE.

A meeting of working icon was held a few nights
since at Sheffield, at which the recent attempt to blow
up the house of a non-unionist workman was spoken
of in severe terms. Mr. Bagehaw, president of the
Organized Trades of Sheffield, asked it as a favour,
before they separated, that a resolution strongly con-
demning each dastardly acts might be {sifted numb
modely. If anything pained him as an individual, it
was an act of this sort, which threw suspicion upon
all the good and well-intentioned leaders of trade
societies. Nothing, on the other hand, would give
him greater pleasure than for even 10,000/. to be
spent to bring to light the villain or villains that had
perpetrated such a deed. He hoped and trusted that
the fiendish perpetrator would be brought to the light
of day, that the suspicion it hich rested on trade
societies might he taken away. These remsrks were
loudly cheered, and another speaker, Mr. Fox_ said
he fully endorsed Mr. Iragehaw'e sentiments. He did
not care how bad the man had been or was now, or
what he had done or left undone; nothing could
possibly justify such an infamous act. A resolution
was agreed to denouncing the outrage, and pledging
the meeting to WM its best efforts to bring the perpe-
trators to juatioe.

ACCIDENT TO A LADY IN THE
HUNTING-FIELD.

Earl Fitzwilliam's hounds met on Saturday morn-
ing at Canklow. His lordship arrived at 10 30, and
the hounds were put into Canklow wood, and were
soon engaged is • fine run, when the pleasure of the
hunt was marred, and the party broken up, by an
accident whioh &Jet one of his lordehip's daughters,
Lady Mary Fitzwilliam. It appears that her lady-
ship's horse P towed an inclination to lay down, and
slightly leant over. The Hon. Charles Fitzwilliam
hereupon made a stroke at the animal to prevent its
lying down. It then gave a sudden jerk and started
off, her ladyship losing her balance and falling at
the other side upon the back of her head. Her
riding habit. caught the crutch and checked the
force of the fall somewhat. After being dragged
three or four paces the habit gave way. Hap
pily, the horse was not going at any great spea
Her ladyship's head was not injured in any way.
It is to be feared, however, that she has sprained
her wade rather badly. The horse was brought
to her, and she had courage enough to again
mount and ride him as far as Wickersley, where
she was assisted into Mr. Tomlinson's carriage and
conveyed to Wentworth. When her ladyship fell am-
siderable consternation was created, such appeared to
be the danger of her situation.

Another account flit:—

The sport was put mi end to by an accident to Lady
Mary Fitzwillism. Her horse lay down with her, and
rolled on to her. The horse then sprang up, and her
ladyship's habit hang to the saddle. She was dragged
about a score of yards before she got at liberty, and
ws, very mach shaken. Mr. Walker, surgeon, of
Rotherham, was happily on the spot, and at the
request of Earl Fitzwillism attended upon her lady-
ship. A groom wag despatched to Wicker'ley for a
carriage, nut after a lapse of about a quarter of an
hour her ladyship was sufficiently recovered to mount
her horse again, and to proceed to Wentworth.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY!

The captalists and speculators in gold of New York
have for the last few months made enormous profits.
They found their operations upon a rule of the New
York Gold Exchange, which imposes a penalty of one
quarter of per cent, a day upon any member who seils
gold for future delivery and neglects to deliver it at the
time appointed. This rule has established a system
of charges for the use of gold, and the rate varies
according to the scarcity of gold, from 1.32,1 of one
per cent. Sometimes to one per cent, a day. The New
York speculators, instead of borrowing money to
" carry" gold, by a judicious manipulation of the
market, exact from "short' sellers and borrowers this
bonus for the use of gold from day to day. The
money made by these speculations can he shown by a
simple calculation. If on the Ist of March last a
broker bought 1,000,000 &Is, in cold, and has steadily
loaned it, say until September 20th, he has made at
least 37 per cent, in gold on his investment, and his
million has swollen to 1,370 000 dole. For his million
in March last he paid, say 126 dols. or 1,260,000 dole.
in paper, and to day he can sell at 146, and realize
from the 1.370.000 dole, in gold he now possesses, at
least 2,000,000 dole in paper. His profits in seven
months will, therefore, be 740,000 dol. about 60 per
cent. No legitimate business offer+ such enormous pro-
fits and the temptation to continue the speculative com-
bination now controlling the premium in New York
is irresistible.
