FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE GLUE WORKS.

On Tuesday morning last, a girl named Mar-
garet Stevens, aged 17, was killed at Mr. Torney's
Glue Works. It appeared that the deceased was
employed at the Glue Works, and that she went
to some place to tarn on a tap. Her dress

became

entangled with a part of the machinery in motion,
and before she could be rescued she was fatally
injured. The machinery is fenced in a most effi-
cient manner, and only a few weeks ago the In-
spector complimented Mr. Turney on the careful
way in which this was done. It was no part of
the girl's duty to go to the place for water where
sha met her death.

Chief Justice or any two of the Jud.Tes to try cases ;

THE WORKING OF THE NEW
LICENSING ACT.

That drunkenness is on the ir crease in London is
plain; that every Monday since the passing of the new
Act the "nightcharges " have increased in most of the
metropolitan police courts is certain. On the Monday.
befois. the 10th of August—that being the day on which
the Act for regulating the sale of intoxicating
liquors and curtailing the hours on which they might
be sold came into operation—the number of 'night
charges" at Clerkenwell was only 30, and 18 of these
were charges of felony, and charges otherwise from
those of felony. On Monday, on the Magistrate taking
his seat, there were 57 "night charges," and of these
42 were charges of drunkenness and drunk and dis-
orderly conduct. The remaining 15 charges were for
street gambling, assault, and felony. On the previous
Monday tbe number of charges were 51, only six of
which were cases of felony, the remainder being those
of drunkenness, or charges arising therefrom.
The number of prisoners taken up on charge's of
drunkenness and riotous conduct in Leeds appears to
have steadily increased ever since the new Licensing
Act came into operation, with about two exceptions.
On Sunday twenty.five persons were in custody on
charges of drunkenness and riotous conduct consequent
upon indulgence in liquor, whereas the number
previous to the bill passing into law was always con-
siderably under that number, except at fair and feast
times, and then it only reached from twelve to sixteen
persons on the Saturday night Sunday morning.

OLD HILL.

FAMILY QUARREL.—At the Police Court, on Wednes-
day, before Messrs. F. W. G. Barra and N. Hingley,
James Hackett was charged with assaulting Emily
Hackett, his eister-in•law, on the 15th inst. Complain-
ant said on the above date defendant struck her on the
head, and rendered her insensible. The quarrel arose
over a needle. Defendant pleaded guilty. The Bench
ordered the defendant to settle the matter; but defend.
ant refused to do so. Defendant said he did not knock
complainant down; he only pushed her down. Fined 1s
and coats; or 14 days.
ASSAULT Can.—John Holden was charged by Alfred
Dingley with assaulting him on the sth inst. Complain•
ant sAMI the defendant was striking his (complainant's)
brother, and he asked him why he did it, when defendant
caught hold of him by the hair of his head, and kicked
him and knocked him down. A woman named Elodgetts
corroborated complainant. Defendant was fined ls and
costs.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

The weekly meeting of this Board was held
yesterday; Mr. Brooks in the chair. There
were also present:—Messrs. Rollinson, Rhodes,
Dr. Walker, Baker, Billiugharn, Griffin, Guest,
Wood, Fiddian, Raybould, B. Homer, Darby,
Peskin, and Fereday. The minutes of the last
meeting were read and coofirmed. Admitted
into the house during the week, 10; discharged,
7; dead, 1; remaining, 383. Corresponding

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT.—On Sunday last, notices sent
down by the Education Department were affixed
at the various churches and chapels in the town-
ship, relative to nnsupplied school accliumoda-
Bon which is required in the Gigtnill district.
As no steps have been taken in regard to the
supply of this accommodation since the official
publication of the requirements of the place a
few months ago, the Department direct that the
public school accommodation mentioned in the
second schedule of the notice ("for 311 child-
ren within reach of the Gigmill district"), be
supplied within a period ~eiot exceeding six
months ; and if at the expiration of such period
it is not supplied, or in course of being supplied,
their Lordships will cause a School Board to be
formed. It will be remembered that when the
question of forming a School Board was mooted
in the town, some time back the opposition
which was manifested effectually thwarted the
proposal for the time. Had the thing been put
to the vote Id the first public meeting which was
called to consider the subject, there can be little
doubt it would have been carried. The strategy
of those who opposed the formation of a Board
secured an adjournment of the meeting, and
when the second meeting was held they were
sufficiently supported to negative the proposal.
The question will, perforce, have to be consid-
ered vain, now that the notice above referred
to has been given by the Education Depart-
ment.

CONSECRATION OF AN ADDITIONAL BURYING
GROUND AT OLDSWINFORD.—OD Tuesday after-
noon last, the Lord Bishop of Worcester conse-
crated the extra ground which has recently been
added to Oldswinford Church. The Bishop, on
his arrival, was formally presented with a peti-
tion, praying to consecrate the ground as a
burial place. lie then entered the church, and
the ordinary service was read by the Rev. T.
Williams. The Bishop, clergy, churchwardens,
and other parishioners afterwards proceeded to
the ground to be consecrated, and walked round
it, repeating alternately the 49th and 115th

CRADLE Y HEATH.

We record with deep regret she sudden decease, on
Thursday, 14th inst. of Bro. Thomas Bache, aged 41,
(one of the founders of Court Foresters' Home, No.
4196, of the A.0.F., Lomey Town, Cradley Heath), from
the effects of a paralytic stroke on the previous day,
whilst at his employment 11.8 a spade and shovel plater.
Bro. Bache was one of the staunchest of Foresters, and
a most faithful friend. He was well known and respected
throughout the district for ids sterling qualities, and as a
man and a Forester ought to be, it could be truly said
his word wai his bond. He was recognised as a true
friend by bit neighbours, and also as a faithful servant to
his employers, by whom he had been employed for more
than 30 years. On Sunday last the members of the order,
to testify their respect, assembled in large numbers to
pay the last tribute to the departed brother, and also a
numerous assemblage of the members of the Maypole
Lodge, headed by the worthy and respected surgeons to
the Court—li. F. Hodgson, Esq., and his assistant—fol-
lowed in the procession, in addition to some private
friends for miles &rolled. The burial service was read
in a most impressive manner by the Nov. T. 111. Dunn,
by which all present were deeply affected, and returned
to their homes in fall confidence that the departed Bro.
had gone to another and a better world. The deceased
leaves a wife and seven children to mourn for their irre-
parable loss.—Communicated.

THE TICHBORNE CASE.

In this case, which, it will be borne In mind, was removed
from the Central Cannel.' Court mainly in order to secure
a special jury, an application was made en Monday to re-
move it back to that Court, or, as the alternative, to have
a trial "at Bar--that Is, according to the ancient practice,
to have it tried before all the Judges of the Court. An
application was made the other day to to a sitting for the
trial, but the matter stood owes without being settled
-••-- • - -

Mr. Serjeant Sleigh (with him Mr. Horace Brown)
now moved, on the part of theiief mutant " Ca,tro, alias
Tichlx)rne," for a writ to move the caqe back to the
Central Criminal Court, or, in the alternative, to have
a trial at Bar. •

The Lord Chief Justice; We were in hopes you
might have come to an arrangement with the coungel
for the prosecution.
Mr. Serjeant Sleigh said that had not been found
postible.
Mr. Justice Blackburn : What is the ground of
your application?
Mr. Serjeant Sleigh: Mainly on the ground that,
looking to the existing state of the law and the state of
the business, it is not likely the case can be tried unless
some extraordinary course be taken. And by 11 George
IV. and 1 William IV., cap. 70, which limits sittings
at Nisi PriUß to 24 days after Term, it is expressly
"provided that in any trial at Bar it shall be compe-
tent to the Judges to appoint any day or days for the
trial, as they shall think fit."
The Lord Chief Justice There is no limitation as
to any number of days after Term.
Mr. Serjeant Sleigh: None whatever. But there is
this seriona difficulty, that the trial would have to be
presided over by four of the Judges.
The Lord Chief Justice: Probably three might be
sufficient, that being now the ordinary number sitting
in Banco.
Mr. Justice Blackburn: Even three Judges sitting
will cause some inconvenience, especially as the par-
ties appear to threaten that the trial will last 90 days.
(A laugh.)
The Lord Chief Justice: There is only one advan-
tage—that proceedings are final in such a trial; the
Court in Banco not reviewing the proceedings of a
trial at Bar. Certainly, the queation is tit to be
considered.

Mr. Serjeant Sleigh : And in the alternative to re.
move the caw back to the Central Criminal Court.

The Lord Chief Justice : Oh! certainly. If it
should turn out that there is no other feasible mode
of trying the case here, of course it must go back.
Mr. Serjeant Sleigh observed that he had thought
Palmer's Act might have answered the object, but it
was confined to cases out of the jurisdiction of the Cen-
tral Criminal Court. -

The Court then granted a rule sin for consider-
ing and determining the application; cause to be
shown this terw. and, if powible, on the following
Friday.

It should be stated that at the Central Criminal
Court. as at the Assizes, there is no limit in time to the
duration of the sittings; and at the Aaaize. a trial
might be carried on continuously for six months, or at

attended with

An accident which might have been ottani.. --
the most serious consequences, but which, fortunately,
resulted only in • temporary obstruction of traffic, oc-
curred on Saturday morning, between the Penmaen-
mawr and Llanfairfechan stations of the Chester and
Holyhead section of the London and North-Western
Railway. Between the two stations named the main line
skirts the base of Penmaen Mounts,-D, which rises ab-
ruptly from the eels, and to protect the permanent way
from the iolence of the waves there is constructed •
massive boundary wall. This line is partioularlrexposed
to danger when there are high tides and strong gales
from the north-east, as was the case on Friday night.
The recent continuous heavy storms considerably un-
paired the foundations of this wall, and gangs
of workmen have for some time been employed in
, strengthening and repairing the masonry. A strong
hurricane raged on Friday night and during the
morning of Saturday, and NI it was momentarily
feared that the wall would give •eay, a number
of the company's servants were stationed in the
vicinity to give immediate intimation should the line
get damaged. The waves dashed with great fury
against the wall, and by half.past eleven succeeded in
undermining it to such an extent that the line gave
way in three places, damaging the permanent way for
a distance of half a mile. There were three Lege
chasms, one measuring 35 feet long by 20 deep. The
10.15 up train passed safely just before the accident, as
did also a goods train, the latter, however, having a
most miraculous escape. The rails, which with the
sleepers still bridged over the pits, proved unable to
bear the weight of the passing train, and gave way.
The couplings of some of the last trucks broke, but
fortunately the waggons retained sufficient velocity to
carry them safely over.
The accident was speedily known at the adjacent
stations, and as the line is worked on the block system
trains from Chester and Holyhead were detained re-
spectively at Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmavrr, and
passengers and luggage conveyed between these points
by means of a large number of vehicles, which were ob-
tained from the neighbouring town. After a short de-
lay, Mr. Binger, district manager, and Mr. Hedworth
Lee, the company's engineer, were soon on the spot,
and steps were immediately taken to construct a detour
line, which was got ready in time for the 9 p.m. up
mail from Bangor. It will take considerable time and
expense to properly prepare the old line. Had the
accident occurred at night the consequences would
have been terrible, as thescene of the accident is close
to a tunnel.

Rhodes went towards the man, who had a stick, with

THE GARIBALDI FAMILY.

The Pensiero of Nice relates that the inhabitants of
that city paid especial honours to the memory of the
Signora Rosa Garibaldi, mother of the patriotic
general, on the recurrence of All Souls' Day, visiting
her monument at the cemetery in great crowds for three
days. The venerable old lady was greatly esteemed during
her life, and she died at the age of seventy-seven on the
19th March, 1852, her son's birthday, while he was
battling with a tempest on the ocean in his
ship Republica. The Peneiero adds the following
account of the Garibaldi family :—Guiseppe, the libe-
rator of Italy, was born in 1807, and :11 the second son
of Rosa and Domenico Garibaldi. The eldest was
named Angelo ; he was born in 1802, and died at Phila-

AMATEUR CONCERT.—These was a very excellent musi-
cal entertainment given on the evening of Friday, the
15th bat, in the Infant School-room, Halesowen, in aid
at the fund. of the Rifle Corps. The attendance was
large and fashionable. Amongst those who took part in
the performances were Mies Hawkins, Miss Beilby, Mica

The British Joarnal of Health, states that" out of 27
"samples of black tea, collected from grocers' shops, six
"were genuine, 20 were more or less adulterated, and one
"contained, as far as could be discovered, not a single
"leaf of genuine tea. Of eight specimens of green tea
"examined, every one was more or less painted or ado!-
" terated." This evidence of the Unwholesome character
of the tea ordinarily sold, cannot but convince consumers
of the great advantage secured by purchasing tea im
or-
ted without the usual ortificial facing of injurious colour
—by this means not only is wholesomeness guaranteed,
but inferior leaves cannot be passed off—to this is attribu-
table the great strength and delicious flavour of Horni.

TAKIH..4 THE VEIL.

In London, on Tuesday morning, the solemn proles-
iion of a Sister of Mercy took plit3e at the church of
St. Jot of Jerusalem, Great Ormond-street, Blooms-
bury, lii as Mary Power, a near relative of the Pere
family, 1 ring the postulant. The institution, of which
the choral is the centre, consists of a convent of nuns,
and a h vital for women, in which there are forty
beds, upon the occupants of which it is the main duty
of the sisterhood to attend.
The edifice in which the coremony took place pre-
sented an imposing spectacle. The daylight was
toned down and the building lighted from end to end
by rows of gas jets over the Italian columns and round
the small dome, while the effect was heightened by
a number of large candelabra with wax candles.
A number of candles were also placed upon
the high altar and the two side altars, which
were tastefully decorated with flowers. The ser-
vice commenced with a procession of priests and
the sisterhood, among whom the postulant—con-
spicuous by her white veil—walked, bearing a taper.
She remained with them during the first part of the
mass, after which she was conducted to a seat in the
chancel, opposiae to the centre of the high altar.
The " Kyrie " and " Gloria " having been sung,
Monsignor Oapel, from the steps of the altar, delivered
an exhortation to the postulant. He compared the
course to be taken by the lady before them with the
words of the umpired writer who declared that rather
than dwell in the tabernacle of sinners he would
occupy an abject place in the house of God.
She felt that she could give up the love ef the
world to attend to the unfortunate. She sacrificed her
liberty—that which eras most dear to all—and her de-
sire for property in order to consecrate herself to God
and to watch the poor and suffering. He explained the
duties of a nun, pointed out her self-sacrifice, and
urged his lay hearers to endeavour In some degree to
:insist their unfortunate brethern by emulating her con-
duct.
The Aguas Die having been sung, the postulant
took the vows of the Holy Communion, and was
conducted to a place with the sisterhood while
the mass was finished. The large white veil
was then removed from her head, and the black veil
substituted for it. Some prayers were said, the new
nun remaining kneeling at the altar. The Te Deem
Laudamas was then lung, and the benediction pro-
nounced. The procession of priests and nuns then left
the church.
Miss Power having now renounced the World will
henceforth be known as Sister Mary Evangelist.

ENGLISH LECTURERS IN AMERICA.

A Cambridge correspondent of the eto York Evening
Mail reports a first lecture in America, delivered last month,
the lecturer being Ocorge Macdonald, and the subject being
Robert Burns:—
"The full beard and the broad, low brow are
quickly recognised. A blaok dress-coat on a
slightly stooping, moderately tall figure, white neck-
tie, and rather prominent gold watch-chain complete
the figure. It seemed at times that the speaker
would have been more at home in the pulpit; the
clergyman was frequently evident. Often leaning
on his desk as if it were a pulpit cushion, he read
some of the serious poems much as one would read
Watts' hymns, and frequent sermonising marked the
preacher. A very earnest temperance lecture accom-
panied a sad apology for Burns' drinking songs and in-
temperance. It was not the drink tnat made the
song, it was the companionship, was thrice repeated,
and regretful allusions to graver vices were given with
a positive groan, as he said, 'Oh, I'd like to pass over
what I must say.' George Macdonald, the lecturer,
exhibits little of the weird, supernatural, dreamland
characteristics of George Macdonald the novelist. A
very real, wideawake man it is who talks so lovingly
of Burns; and while Macdonald is not great
as a lecturer, the thousands who have read
his books will listen eagerly and with eatisfactioh
.to his earnest words, recognising many of the
peculiarities that have made his books so popular. As
a lecturer his most striking characteristics are a tre-
mendous earnestne 93 and a wocderful simplicity and
frankness, almust humility. The secret of Burns'
power as a poet, he said, was his thorough sympathy
with humanity, with nature, human nature and animal
nature, with all forms of life; and this George Mac-
donald evidently possesses in full measure. His
'Robert Burns' cannot fail to please American audi-
ences, and the man himself will win their hearts."

A sericite outbreak of pleuro-pnenmonia has just oc-
curred among the cattle on several farms in Sheffield and
the neighbourhood. Some of the animals have been
slaughtered in order to prevent the spread of the complala.
A conference of the chairmen and vice-chairmen of
boards of guardians of • great number of nniotui in tbeeouth
of Znsland, including some in the neighbourhood of London,
was held on Tuesday. Similar meetings have been held in
other parts of England. Their object Into obtain • more
uniform and, In other respeets, abetter admialsWatlon of the
poor law.
