at Newport.
No notice of the capture of Giles Hutchings has been
reosived at Yeovil, but the report is generally believed,
although the people are surprised at his hiding in en

conld safely say it had been already should that the

People. would be impa .ially admiaisted and would be
enforced by hie rght hon. friend, the Chief Secretary,
with earnestness and seal. The foreign relativee were

BONFIRE NIGHT.

The Fifth felling on a Saturday, the usual observance
of Guy Fawkes' day was in many places shifted to the
Monday. In other plays, as at Templocomhe (where
there is • very energetic assoc;stion) it was anticipated.
and the display was on the 4th. It m'ght be thought
that • celebration on the 4th or the 7th would have
removed the last excuse of thaw who object to the
November mummery oaths whir ound that it comme-
morates • matter that ought to be allowed to die away,
Is °finials* to the feelings of • g ol many loyal
Catholic*, and ham been expunged from toddle obser-
vances by order of Plbriill,oooi ; but this wee still the
only objection that the Sherborne Bonfire 8,y4 were
called upon t 1111011;. Their success, however, id SO
evongly marked in the fi-ld that the collection boxes
showed over 1,600 coin., repreeenting quite two-thirds
of that number of individual and voluntaryeubs,xibe-s
—that they can g "on with at apolozy.„ It would
be easy enough to show that even if the November
, carnival had not long since ceased to he • anti-popish
demonstration it is quite capable of defence on ita
original ground. Why should it hurt the feelings of
any Ceth. lie if Foglishmen continue to mark the day
when this country escaped the dangers of an infamous
orovPiascY No loyal Catholic can have any more
sympathy with Guy Fawkes and his murderous designs
than with the Land Leavers and aasaming of the
Slater Isle. To object to h only as a pageant which
does little good is a stronger argument; but then what

FUNERAL SERMON ON THE LATE REV.

JOHN WILLS.

The Rev. F. J. Austin preached a touching die
course at the Congrcr;ational Church, on Sunday
morning last, having special reference to the late Mr.
John Wills, who he,l the pastorate 1 the church for
about 34 pars. There was a very large congregation,
the pulpit and choir stalls being draped in black. The
preacher selects, I for his text. Hebrews xi., verse
4, "He being dead, y.-t speaketh." In the course
of a deeply impressive chars , the preacher reviewed
much of the consistent I,fe and labours of the venerable
deceased, who ps.sed quietly and peaceably away in
his sleep at Memott on the 28th ult. regretted by his
co-workers, and loved ad lamented by his people.
Mr. Austin remarked that many eminent persons who
have pas.ed away, yet spoke to the living by varic us
associations left behind them, which spoke to the
heart as plainly as if those persons were present with
us. When we beheld the glorious sun shedding his
powerful light on creation; the vivid lightuing, or the
dashing of the waves against the rocks, it gave us an
earnest of the gloiy and power of th 3 Omnipotent.
Many spent years it hard and earnest toil, leaving
their result through generations; some perpetuated
their memory by stately edifioes, literature, science,
and art, the philanthropist, the reformer, and the
pioneer, although gone before yet spoke to us,
reminding us of their labours for good, and in
the service of God. The circle of others may
be emalier, but am the eye falls upon the fruits of
their labours, we are led to think what they attempted
and accomplished; and even many of that congre-
gation to-day remembered the words of wisdom from
the Bran of some deputed teacher or pastor, whose
words were as fresh as if uttered yesterday. Yew men
were permitted to labour so long ais their late pastor,
Rev. John Will., who passed away peaceably at
Merriot at the advanced age of 92 years, on the 28th
of October. His last words to them in that church,
about two years ago, were "The grace of our Lord
Je.ma be with all who love him in sincerity and truth."
It was not now necessary for him, the preacher, to
speak of his catholicity, of his simple faith, of his
benevolence; all this was known to them, but he
would express the hope that all those whom he now
addressed would, like the Rev. John Willa, pairs away
In p-ace. He had truly lived and worked as a pastor
should, then let him be remembered by all who knew
him, for consistency of character, earnestness of work,
and the fervour with which he ever proclaimed and
taught the gospel of his loving Saviour. Before the
sermon, the solemn but beautiful hymn of hladab's,
" Arise ye, this is not your rest," wan sung, and follow-
ing the se-mon, Watt's well-known hymn, "So teach
us to number our days."

ShAV., ELEVEN IN AMERICA.

The fourth match of Shaw's Eleven I. America wag
played at 5. Lillie, on October 12. h, the Englishmiitt
encountering twenty-two cricketers of that district. The
Eleven went in fi-st and fared remarkably well. Ulyett
and 80-low were the first pair of bitten:ten, and before
they were parted put on 60 runs. 11,th were then out,
hut after Selby ant Yid wittier had been smile dismissed,

wickets. On Oitober 1311 there was so much rain that
the game had to he abandoned sea draw.
The Englidi Eleven afterwards journeyed to San
Francisco, where on Thursday, October 20t.h, they opposed
twenty-two of that city. Sneer's team went in first, but
, with so many in the field fared moderately. Ulyi-tr, who
has played ex, reordittarily good cricket in America, wee
top Rawer with 20, and the whole eleven were dismissed
for AN. The Amerieans, however. made a vary poor show
against the snlendid bowling of ?este and Shaw. The •

RESPITE OP A MURDERESS.
RITIUOILDINAIT CONIISSION.

The sentence of death passed upon Margaret
Messenger, the young girl who, at Cumberland Assizes
last week, was convicted of the wilful murder of •
child entrusted to her care, his been respited during
her Majesty's pleasure. An examination as to the
soundness of the girl's mind will take place. The
culprit on Friday confessed that a few days before the
murder of whico she wee convicted at Carlisle she
drowned in a well another child of the same family
two years old, whose death was supposed at the time to
have been caused by accident.
It appeared the prisoner had charge of three of Mr.
PaUlster's children, the boy who wadi drowned being
two yeara old. On the 27th of June he was playing
about the kitchen daring dinner time, after which hie
father fell asleep. In about a quarter of an boar he
woke up, and missed the child, and at onos inquired
for him. A search was made, and as he could not be
found, Mr. PaUlster set oil to a neighbour's house
to see if he had strayed thither. While he was going,
the girl Messenger had run to the well with • small
pail as if to fetch water, and before Mr. Palliator
was out of hearing she shouted "He'. here." When
she lifted the child from the well he wag found to
be quite dead. There was not ths least suspicion of
foul play at the time, but after the death of the baby
it was remembered that there was plenty of water in
the house, and that it was absurd to go for more with
such a small vessel. Sufficient water was always
brought in the morning to serve the whole day. On
Friday morning, Dr. Orange,madical superintendent of
the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum, examined
the prisoner with a view to rataortiag to the Home
Secretary on her state of mind, and she confessed to
him that she had murdered the boy. Tbe idea
occurred to her when she was chopping sticks in the
yard, and she took him to the well and drowned him.
She haa still to be watched day and night by warders.

FAST LIFE.

In the Queen's Bench, on Monday, a London jeweller,
pained Haton, sued • tailor named Goody for 1:222 for
jewe len supplied to "Mrs. Goody,' otherwise" Lucy
Johnson.' The biggest Baru in the lot was • diamond
star, which was invoiced at £lBO. Lacy Johnson had been
living as mistress with • Mr. Fervent, who allowed her
.E. 1.5 • week ; but when he found she was visiting the
tailor (who it was said was making ,CB,OOO a-year out of his
business), he threw her off. The defence wag the MOlllO2/
bought the jewellery herself—ln support of th, defence,
" Lucy Johnson" was called and stated the plaintiff knew
her when she was living with Mr. Farrant, sad used to
come to the house to se • her there, and sold her articles,
some on credit, psi ing by instalments. Ile had, she said,
known her both as "Lucy Johnson" and "Mrs. Farrant,'
and bad known "her life for six van " She introduced
him to Mr. Goody when she went to live with him in
1878, and she continued to deal with him as before, and
had these things of him in the same way as before. She
swore that she herself had paid plaintiff £lO far a ring,
the price of which was said to be £l2. She said he
wanted her to buy a bracelet at • prin of £l3O, and she
said she could not afford it. "What" he said. "not out
of the £l5 a w. ek th old man is paying your" (which she
said was the fact). "You had far better spend your
money on Aswallery, which is always money, than in drew
and trash. she at length, she said, agreed to have it,
paying a a week, an a as to other items, and she
lentifted the book in which her payments were entered.
She swore that she bought the disniwid star in this way
for LIAO. The defendant was not present, she said, on
Muses occasions. Asked wit, had the star now, she said,
"I have it;" and asked who is i,ow living with Mr. Goody,
she said, " I am." Asks I where, she said, "At Wimble
don." Asked who had the sleeve-links, she said, "Mr.
Goody; I gave them to him. He did not know they were
not paid for." Asked who had the musical box, she said,
"I have." Where is it 1 "it is packed up.' Where!
"At my sister•in-law's." Not your uncle's! "No. not
yet." Asked where the diamond locket we', she said, "it
Is in my pocket"—The defendant was &LSO called as •
witness in support of his case, contradictini the plaintiffs
evidence, and denying that he gave orders for any of the
articles in question. —ln cross-examination, he was asked
by Mr. Hill who he supposed was to pay for these costly
jewels, especially the sleevwlinks given ti himself and the
diamond star, and he said she was ; awl being asked
"Out of what money 1" he said "The LIS • week she had
from Mr. Farrant, who also promise I her .C 1,000. Asked
if she was not called Mrs. Goody in his house by the
servants, he said not by him, and he could not answer for
servants. Ile knew (he said) that she was Mrs !Tarrant,
and that he hid a wife living, who, 15 months ago, he
admitted, had • swantion from him for his adultery with
"Lucy Johnson."—The jury, after a brief consultation,
gave their verdict for the plaintiff.
