THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU.
Niw You, Saturday.
Guitean was brought to the Crimival Court yesterday
under a .trung guard, and rata,gned for the murder a
President Coanekt. After the indictdieet had been
read to the prisoner, who listened to it with languid
indifference, be was asked to plead, to whmi he
replied that be had • statement to make. The Court,
however, refused to bear him, whereupon Gluiest:
pleaded " Not guilty." The District Attorney asked
that the trial of toe prieoner should commeuce on the
17th instant. Mr. Scoville, the counsel lot Guiteau,
stated in an affidavit presented in conjunction with
one by the prisoner, that he proposed to deny the
juruidiction of the Court, and defend the prisoner,
hritly, of insanity, and secondly, that the wodnd in-
dicted upon the late President was not ne,essarily
fatal. Mr. Scoville, therefore, urged . postpodernent
until he could procure aainstent ooen.sel and witnesses.
Tilo Court tired November 7th for the trial, and re•
quested that the question of jurisdiction should be
a.gued before October aoul.

CHURCH (WING 42. LIVERPOOL.

A Diocesan Ginferenoe will shortly be held in Liver-
pool, and a leading local paper haA prepared for it a
welt; imis something akin to that noted the other day on
the part of a Newcastle journal in vise of toe gather-
lug of the Church Congrees. The Liverpool pasty Posg
hem instituted its own religi census, with special
reference to the amount of church provision in the town,
and the extent to which the p pitleilon cviii. itoelf of
it. The ramie is scarciely leer; me!ancholy than that
deducible from the Neonate's census, upon which we
recently commented. It app as. that 49 of the princi-
pal churches in Liverpool have been vi.ited on succes-
sive Sunday mornings. It was found that an argregate
capacity to seat 49,50'J persona On the days they were
Vi.iteti they conteined c ingregations in the aggregate
of 11,855. This is bad enough in iti way. But there
Is another aspect in which the outlook grows darker.
The gross population of the pariThes in which these
churaies are situated is given at 465,200, from which it
will be seen that supposing everybody wanted to go t
the Hatablished Church there would not be room for
much more than one in ten. But, as the other table
of figures proves, even the small accommodation pro-
vided is not used and the churchei are not more than a
quarter filled. The net result of the tables of figures
published in the Liverpool paper goes to show that in
this, One of the largeat towns in the kingdom, one
person in 34 goes to the morning service of the tetab-
'lobed Church.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A BARONET.
Last week Sir Gilbert Edward Campbell, Bart., was
charged at the hfaryleborne-rourt with being an insane
person and trying to commit suicide at the Langham
Hotel, and Mr. Oooke remanded him till Thursday,
his worahip remarking that he would allow the defend.
ant to go if be c .sl.l obtain two sureties in £5O apiece.
—On Tne•daY • solicitor was in attendance with the
two sureties, and the defendant was brought up from
the House of Detentiou.—Mr. De Rotzen said he had
been in communication with Mr. Coke, and the latter
had agreed that if the defendant could obtain two
sureties in £5O each, and entered into his own recog-
nisance, in £lOO be could be liberated.—The sureties
were at once ,riven that he would keep the pesos and

ON Friday a msn named William Yard, aged 60
veare, • pensioner and basket maker, late of West
Chinnock, was found dead, hantitg by the neck from
the banister of the stairs of hue cottage, by • man
named lb was Patten, who lives near. It will be re-
membered by many of our readers that deceased
attempted Ms if. by cutting his throat tit July last,
and was then discharged by the magistsates, after
being in custody • week. On Monday, an inquiet
was held at the Halt Moon, before Dr. Wybrants,
and a respectable jury, when a verdict of Soicide
by hanging while In a state of unsound mind" was
returned.

Summit or A CARPOTTSIL —At noon on Monday, a
youtig man, n oiled Henry Thomas Sp:ncer, 21 years
of age, was found suspended by • rope from hi. ea,k
in a house at the rear of his premises. When found,
the body was stiff and cold, and it wee presumed that
death must have taken plami a couple of hours
previous. The deceased left the house of his father.
In-law. Mr- Henley. at li.oalcoak, Symondsbury,
about 8 o'clock on Monday morning, saying he ahould
go to his father's, Mr. John Spencer, at &mood,
taking his tools with him. He was gone nom, time,
and nothing being seen of him, a man, Henry Chubb,
went ti look for him. About noon he found him
hanged in the house. It is stated that the deceased
married, about 12 mootbs ago. the daughter of his
master, Miss Henley, and that since that time
she had been in a weak state ..f health. Latterly his
mother in-law had arranged that she would take her
da..ghter to her house to nurse, and that course having
bee.. adopted, it.. said to have preyed on the muad of

THE QUARRY ACCIDENT.

The poor man, William Gould, who was injured so
dreadfully in Hospital Quarry, died rat Friday night,
after much eufferinz, though he r.tained his conscious-
ness sufficiently to arrange about his will. When the
poor body was laid out it was found to be shockingly
crushed and distorted, so that there were other causes
of death than the broken limbs, and we believe the
imm, diets clause was stated to be inflammation of the
lungs from the penetration of a broken rib. Decompo-
sitton rapidly set in, and it appears that by the time
the Coroner had been oommlin ic seed with,decomposition
had so far advanced that it was necessary to screw the
body down. Enquiries were made, and under the
. . .

email circumstances of the cave it was deci led that
the inquest should not be held. Deceased was buried
in St. George's Churchyard on Tuesday, and, he having
been a member of" Loyal Victoria and Albert" Lodge
of Oddfellows, several towthren accompanied the body
to the grave. Wiliam °mold was a widower and had
no family. We are also informed that the four
workmen proceeded to the quarry about the same time;
but the Goulds occupied themselves with the rubble
which bad been underpecked the night bsfore, and left
all night. co that it is supposed the part which had
been unierpeckeel ad partly given way in the night,
but not so as to be peroeived (oval le, and when
attacked in the morning it gave way so Idenly, thus
causing the accident. Piles and Galpin, the other two
men, who were it t far off, immediately ran for help,
and Mr. B. Read and others assisted Dr. Atthill, who
promptly arrived.—John, who was injured in the same
accident, is still in • precarious state.

WEYXOI7TH.

litsthoit's Lox Stooge. —On Monday morning a
sailor was brought to the Weymouth Royal Hospital
on • stretcher by six men. He had been on board a
ship called the Dartmouth, bound from London to
Shanghai, and last Saturday morning, when off
Dungeness, • heavy sea knocked him oft the forecastle,
breaking a leg.
A VIOLENT STORY raged over Weymouth sad
Portland on Friday hat. The wind blew etroogly
from the 8.3. W. gradually going round to • little
north of W., and then baking to about W.S.V?.,
before it again veered and calmed down. The damage
dons on land was widespread rather than important,
tiles and slates were blown from old roofs, shaky
ehimney-pots toppled over, fhwer-pots not properly
secured sent flying from window-sills to be smashed
below. From • house in the Crescent two or three
hundred-weight of sheet lead was blown, down the trees
on the Dorchester-road were bvaten about sad some
blown from their stakes, and at Washington two
bowies hoirg built by Mr. Thorne lost port of their
brickwork, while on the other side of the road and
farther to the west, some wall, were blown down from
houses partly built by Mr. Tome, although the II or
joist. had been laid above; Mr. Bridgman also lost
two piers of brickwork. At Portland the ses at high
tide was tremendous, and even in the Roads the
violence of the wind caused moth anxiety. The
Either, of Plymouth, in ballast, was not berthed, and
she drove, until the Commodore went to her assietance
and, after two or three hours' very hard toeing,
brought ter into Weymouth harbour, about hail-pestthree p.m., with the bul +arks knocked away from her
b we. Meanwhile the smack Union, with Guernsey
pitchers, had driven out from Portland toward+ the
Breakweter, and it seemed inevitable that she must be
dashed to pieces. A lerret put up to her assistance,
end euccerded in taking of the crew when the Union
was left, oppateutly to her fete. Cloptain Bowring,
however, started on a fresh voyage, and got down to
the smack, thi sea running fearfully, and the spray
dririn, even over the Breakwater fort. Par nearly an
hour did the C mimo.lore hover alnut the Union, the
sea pitching the istter bows under, and at times flying
In spray above the Commodore', topmast At last,
with much skill, they got near enough for two men to
jump on board and secure the tow-rope, and, attar
another difficalt tow, the derelict Union was brought

DOGS IA THE FRENCH ARMY.

A French paper has been lifting up his voice in
favour of a very humble yet interesting section of the
military establishment— regimental dog.. Formerly
almost every batt Mon or cavalry squadron of the
French army had its pet clog, an animal olio belonged
to nobody in particular, but wh contrived to serve
his many masters with fi !linty and &nal. He was free
of the barrack-rooms ; he dined off the soldier's leav•
logs ; be harboured • proper prejudice against civilians,
and barked at them ; but be wagged hie tail in •
friendly way t 'everyman wearing red trouser,. When
the battalion marched out the dog marched out too,
stepping deoorously by the drum-inajor'e side, with his
tail curled, and disdaining the greetings of other dogs
who might be anxious to salute him in the streets.
80010 of these dogs ac 'hired renown in war. There
we. Fietaiche. the dog of the 2nd U dtalion of the 3rd
Chaisseurs who wit wounded scampering up the heights
et Alma, and receiving a medal, which he wore to the
day of his &oath attached to a silver collar. There waa
Capricorn, who was present with the 65th it.giment
at the taking of the village of Magenta, and who is
maid to have dragged • vivan dere by the girt to a spot
where an officer lay wounded and gasping for water.
This dog rot • medal too. It might nave been thought
that such recollections would have uleaded in favour
of martially
_disposed dogs to all time; but General
Farr', the War Mioister, who has ahulished 'so many
things dear to the military mind—drums drunkmajors,
breast-plates, and white gloves—some months ago
issued an edict that all doge should be expelled from
barracks. There were some said leave-takings when
the four-footed pets were turned out to find new homes
iu the h .us-a of married officers, for that was the
destiny of most of them; and pathetic scene when
, some of these animals, breaking away from their
reuraiots found their way back ii barrack, and gain-
' b died iu, leaping and yeliin. with joy. It si otris,
indeed, that few of the cashiered doge have been able
to accommodate themselves t i the irksomeness of
civiliau life. The soldiers, on the other hand, find
barracks duller than ever without the dugs, and it is
being urged on their behalf that General Ferro would
I do a p ,pular thing if be revoked his edic&—Disity
