MURDER IN GL SGONV.

THE DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1861.

A murder was committed at Glasgow early on Sunday
morning; About one o'clock a crowd collected in High-
street in consequence of a fight between a man named
*William Clark alias Neil C)yle, and another man, whose
name has not as yet been ascertained. The cause of
the quarrel is not known, but it seems to have originated
in a shebeen in the neighbourhood, from which, we
understand, the two men had recently issued. In the
course of the battle Coyle was knocked down once or
twice, and an onlooker, named James Gall, who does
not appear to have been previously in company with the
disputants, but seems merely to have been drawn to the
spot through curiosity, stepped from the crowd to take
Coyle's part, and mtclairned that it was a shame that
Coyle should be Used in that way, and that he was not
getting fair play: Ile began to pat Coyle on the
shoulder with his hand, and advised him to go home.
Coyle, without making any reply, turned abruptly round
upon the man who was befriending him, and his hand
was seen to strike him in the groin. Gall immediately
bent forward, till he was almost doubled, and cried
out, " I am stabbed ; for God's sake go for a doctor."
He then ran forward, with his hand on the wound
and when he reached a lamp-post, clutched it
violently, swung round it, and fell with his face
upon the ground. Coyle, immediately after in-
flicting the wound, ran down the Saltmarket, pursued
by the crowd. tntering a close, his further progress
was interrupted by an iron gate, and, return being im-
possible, he was seized by two constables. Search was
made for the weapon with which he had inflicted the
blow, and, a yard or two from the place where he was
captured, a clasp-knife was found, with stains of blood
upon the blade. He was immediately conveyed to the
police-office. In the meantime, medical aid had been
procured for the wounded man, who was bleeding pro-
fusely. He died about three hours afterwards, at the
Infirmary. Gall receited only one blow, but the femoral
artery was cut, and the efforts of his medical attendants
were insufficient to check the flow of blood. Coyle, who
was somewhat, but apparently not much, the worse of
liquor, at the time he inflicted the blow, was sentenced
in 1853 to seven years' penal servitude for assault and
robbery, and was only liberated about three months ago.
He was during the term of his penal servitude the terror
of erery one in prison. Gall, the deceased, who was an
engine-fitter, is about twenty-three years of age, and was
a young man of good character, being, we understand,
almost the sole support of his widowed mother. Coyle is
about thirty years of age.—Glasgow Herald.

FASHIONS FOR JANUARY.

(From Le Follett.)

The season for grand balls has not yet commenced,
but we have already observed some varieties in dinner
and evening dresses. The fashion is also nearly fixed
for high bodies, and the different kinds of silk for winter
wear.

Surplus Balance beyond the charge of the Con-
solidated Fund, for the Quarter ended Sept.
30th, 1860, viz.:—

The Gabrielle form of dresses is distinguishable
among the many others. The body and skirt are made
in one in front, without a band to mark the waist.
There is a decided variation in the cut this winter, and
it is known by the name Imperatrice. Last year it was
the deep casaque—very full, without plaits in front or
behind—a fashion that was difficult to promote. The
improvement renders the robe Imperatrice more graceful
and more easily worn by all figures and in all toilettes.
In front, it is formed like a long casaque, widening con-
siderably at the bottom. At the seam, under the arm,
there are wide plaits, like other dresses, and the back is
flat, and rounded at the waist ; the sleeves are with elbows
and turned-back cuffs.

We have seen one in violet-corded silk ; the bottom
of the skirt was trimmed with a broad band of violet
velvet, edged with a narrow one of black plush. Nearly
half way up the skirt is a deep plaiting of velvet, edged
with plush. The body is perfectly plain, except for the
buttons, by which it is fastened. The skirt is also but-
toned down the front. The cuffs are of velvet, edged
with plush.
Another dress of the same make was for a wedding ;
it was of white satin. The skirt was made with a train,
like a court dress, and trimmed with five narrow bands
of fluted satin. The body was fastened with simple white
satin buttons. The cuffs on the sleeves were trimmed
with a narrow fluting of satin to match the skirt. A
small bouffant of tulle escapes from the cuff, awl is fas-
tened round the wrist with a ruche of tulle, matching
the trimming on the top of the body. The great fulness
of the skirt, with its simple yet elegant trimming, forms
a complete fan from the waist. A tulle veil to cover the
head and dress, accompanies this toilette; and the bouquet
of orange flowers is fastened near the shoulder, as the
dress is without a band ; and, in place of the wreath, a
single branch of orange blossom ornaments the bandeaux.
A large tortoiseshell comb holds the plaits behind, which
fall very low on the neck.
Black taffetas, with small bouquets, are decidedly the
fashion this winter. The plain brilliant taffetas, with
plain or flounced skiitm, and the moire antique, are no
longer the " mode." Dark colours for bonnets, as well
as dresses, are more and more in favour for dress visits.
We will describe the dress of a very elegant lady.
The dress is of black taffetas, with Pompadour bouquets.
A broad plaited band trims the bottom of the skirt,
edged with a very narrow ruche of pink, black, and
green, the colours in the bouquets. The casaque paletUt
is of black plush, trimmed with astracan. Bonnet of
black and pink velvet, with feathers placed on the top.
Plush is much used for paletets and burnous, and is
preferred to velvet on account of its novelty. Dresses
are also trimmed with plush, even when made of velvet,
if of a sombre colour, and for negligCe. Morning dresses
of white plush, lined with blue or gold colour, are very
elegant and becoming. It has been matter of surprise
that plush has not been more adopted for bonnets and
their ornaments; but it will not be long before we see
this beautiful material employed for these purposes.
Some visiting dresses are trimmed with plush. Among
others, one destined for a wedding trousseau is of mag-
nificent reps, of the colour of Russian leather. Broad
bands of plush of the same colour are placed across the
front, en tablier. The sleeves are formed to the elbow,
and rather open at the bottom. The plush cuffs are
pointed, and reach half-way to the elbow. A casque
paletflt of black velvet, trimmed with chinchilla (a fur
becoming much in demand).

Swansdown and emine are both in favour for trim-
mings for sorties de bat and the palatines which are
thrown over the shoulders for entering the theatre or
evening parties in full dress. Grey astracan is very
much used as a trimming for paletots, forming a collar,
or small pelerine and cuffs, and also occasionally round
the bottom. But for paletots of black cloth, the sim-
plest style of trimming is a biais of black silk embroidered
in white. It is novel and stylish.
Amongst numerous full dresses which have been pre-
pared, we will select the following for description :
A dress of bright pink taffetas, trimmed at the bottom
of the skirt with five flounces, edged with black guipure,
and caught up at equal distances by black guipure ro-
settes, in the middle of which are placed three small
roses. Low body with a point berthe, corresponding in
style with the trimming of the skirt, with rosettes on
the shoulders. The most suitable head-dress to complete
this toilette is a diadem formed of small roses, with jet
centres. A robe, white tulle ; around the bottom of
the skirt a wide bouillonne, edged ou each side with a
white blonde, about two or three inches wide, and
under this bouillonne, edged on each side with a white
blonde, about two or three inches wide, and under this
bouillonne a green ribbon is placed, which produced a
very pretty effect. From the waist a full tunic, trimmed
round with bouillonne to match, and caught up on each
side by a cordon formed of small Michaelmas daisies
and tufts of grass. Body and sleeves bouillonnes, and
trimmed with flowers.

A dress of blue and white tarlatan, and the bottom of
the skirt trimmed with eleven narrow gauffered flounces,
blue and white alternatively. Low body, covered with
a small fichu, composed of narrow gauffered flounces. A
bayadere sash, twisted round the waist, and tied low
down the skirt. Head-dress of myosotis and white nar-
cissus, in a wreath.
A dress of mauve taffetas, with a pattern in mauve
velvet over it, forming bouquets. The bottom of the
skirt is ornamented with a biais of mauve velvet, about
three quarters of a yard wide, upon which are placed
small trimmings of ribbon, iu imitation of tufts of violets.
Low body, trimmed round with mauve velvet, matching
the skirt, and with bouillonnes of tulle and a frill of
blonde.
A dress, Gabrielle, of white taffetas, ornamented with

a pelerine of Chantilly, put on like a berthe. Upon the
skirt, bouillonnes of tulle, with two wide flounces of
Chantilly over them, in tunique form. All down this

dress are bows of black lace and gold ribbon.
A dress, composed of skirts of tulle trimmed with
tulle worked in gold; the body, of drapery form, also
worked in gold, is very fairy-like and charming in
appearance.

We finish our description of dresses by giving two
toilettes de villes, especially adapted for winter walking
dresses.

A dress of emerald green imperial velvet made with a
point, trimmed round the bottom with a band of plain
black velvet. Other bands of the same forming revers
on the body, and placed en tablier on the front breadth
of the skirt. A row of black velvet buttons down the
front. Tight sleeves, closed at the wrist. A basquine
mantle of velvet, half tight, with a large pelerine com-
posed of four rows of lace. Wide sleeves, with revers
formed of several rows of lace. Bonnet, with s soft
crown of spotted tulle. Front and curtain of green vel-
vet. On the front a garland of velvet flowers, and ban-
deau inside to match.

HINTS FOR RIFLE ASSOCIATTONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES.

Stn,—On reading the rules of the Lancashire and
Cheshire Associations, both of which are alike, I find
that they commerce by stating the associations to be
formed for the purpose of giving permanence to Volun-
teer Corps, and the encouragement of rifle shooting.
Now, although these bodies profess to have both objects
in view, their rules provide for the encouragement of
rifle shooting only.

Now, I do not wish to throw cold water on rifle shoot-
ing. lam perfectly aware that, as every rifleman should
be a clever marksman, it is requisite that there should
be some encouragement to volunteers in the way of
prizes, &c., but, at the same time, I do not think that
mere rifle shooting should be the Alpha and Omega of a
Rifle Association's attention.

It is quite evident to any one connected with military
matters that if the volunteers are ever called upon to
defend their country they must do something else
besides firing from behind a hedge. They will be
required, as Colonel Wilbraham told us at the swearing-
in of the engineers, to act as troops of position. They
must, therefore, be encouraged to become proficient in
company, battalion, and brigade drill as well as in rifle
shooting. It is quite a mistaken idea that our volun-
teers require but a little drill, and I am glad to see that
that opinion is gradually becoming obsolete. We have
heard what Sir Charles J. Napier wrote to a country
gentleman on forming a rifle corps, in which he gave
him a few movements in which the corps should be
instructed, and concluded with, "Don't be persuaded to
learn any more ; " but people who quote that letter
should remember the circumstances under which Sir
Charles wrote it. It was written to a country gentle-
man who proposed forming a small corps out of his own
neighbours, and it is certain that if that great general
were alive now he would not give the same advice
to battalions formed in large towns and drilling several
times a week.

One thing which county associations should direct
their attention is to try and induce the Government to
give the volunteers store-houses, ammunition, and drill
instructors free of expense. This was suggested very
properly at the meeting at Preston by our worthy
➢layor, but 1 do not sec that any action was taken in his
remarks. I would also suggest that prizes should he
given for some of the following subjects of competition,
in addition to prizes for firing
To corps that can shew the greatest average attend-
ance at drill.

2. To volunteers who attend the largest per tentage
of drills.

3. To non-commissioned officers who can best pass an
examination (theoretically and practically) on the
- Field Exercise Book," "Musketry Instruction Book,"
and " Bayonet Exercise Book."
4. To the battalion, of not less than six companies,
that can best go through a certain series of light infantry
movements—movemexts not to be known before trial.
If a regiment has twelve companies, it might be allowed
to enter both its right and left wings.
5. To the battalion of not less than 150 files that can
make the best charge in line.
6. To the company that can best skirmish, as a given
company of a battalion.
7. To the company that "marches past" best in
quick or slow time.
8. For the best a,nd quickest formed rallying square
by a company.
9. To the corps that can show the cleanest and best
kept storehouse and armoury ; corps having more than
one storehouse being allowed to count each separately.
10. To battalions that make the best squares on the
rear cwapany from the flank march, in fours. This
might fie varied. _ .

11. To single companies, for the manual and platoon
exercise.

12. (If there be a superfluity of funds.) A drum-
major's staff, or bandmaster's baton, for the band play-
ing the best quick and slow marches, general salute, &c.
13. Prizes for bugles.
14. To the corps that can show the smallest number
of "resionations" in a given time.
15. To the corps that can turn out, on a given day,
the largest per tentage of enrolled volunteers.
The above are but a few of many suitable subjects
that could be made available for prizes. As there would
of course be a difficulty in getting a number of corps or
companies together for competition, it might be advis-
able to have district trials, which might take place
during the summer evenings, and then let the champion
corps or companies assemble at some other time for a
further trial. This might go on until the numbers were
reduced to a few corps for say the northern—Liverpool
and Manchester—districts, and then let the grand com-
petition come off in some central place in the daytime.
I am quite aware that many of the subjects I have
proposed for competition are not so important as that of
firing, but others of them are quite as important as
proficiency in that important art. I have no doubt that
those more conversant with military tactics could pro-
pose some better subject for competition in drill, and I
have no doubt that if the county associations would
take the subject into their consideration they would find
that it would have a salutary effect on volunteer corps
to give a portion of their funds for such prizes. I
don't propose gold or silver cups of £lOO value; it
would be quite sufficient to give something of less value
--say a sword for the commanding officer, or even a
medal, which might be put under a glass case in the
storehouse, or even a certificate in a gilt frame. It is
well known that in ancient times a laurel crown was a
prize for competition, and was doubtless valued as much
by the winner as is the plate, &c., of the present time.
Yours, respectfully,

SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLOWN.—The pantomime at
the Great Yarmouth Theatre had a melancholy finale on
Friday night last. After the harlequinade was over,
the clown, named Alger, went to the dressing-room ;
but, before he had changed his clothes, he was seized
with sickness, and lay down and died almost imme-
diately. A medical gentleman had been summoned
from the boxes; but death had supervened before any
aid could be rendered. It seemed that the poor fellow
was suffering from disease of the lungs for some time
past, and that he was absolutely dying. During the
whole of the evening he was endeavouring to set his
audience in a roar with his jokes and
Deceased was only 35 years of age. Four years ago
another actor, named Russell, dropped dead on this
stage while performing in the Hunchback.
THE PRINCE CONSORT IN CAMBRlDGE.—Cambridge
was honoured with a visit by his Royal Highness the
Prince Consort on Monday, the ostensible object being
the inspection of Madingley-hall, and the preparations
making thereat for the reception of his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales. The visit being distinctly under-
stood to be a private one, all ceremony was dispensed
with. His Royal Highness travelled by special train
from London, attended by General Bruce, the governor
of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and
Colonel Ponsonby, the Equerry to his Royal High-
ness the Prince Consort. The chairman of the.
Eastern Counties Railway Company (Mr. Love) and the
chief superintendent (Mr. Robinson) accompanied the
special train, which reached Cambridge about twelve
o'clock. At the Cambridge station one of the royal pri-
vate carriages was in waiting with four posters, and, this
entered, the party proceeded straight to Madingley, and
after an inspection of the hall returned to Cambridge;
then, entering by the Queen's-gate, the Prince Consort
and party visited the Master of Trinity College, and the
Sovereign's apartments in the lodge, which it is under-
stood will be made use of by the Prince of Wales during
his residence at the University. Refreshments were
served at Trinity-lodge, and thence the royal carriage
started for the railway station, from which latter the
train started on its return. a minute or two before three
o'clock. The name of his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales has been entered upon the books of Trinity
College.

The official Wiener Zeitung says, the Emperor
having summoned Count Teleki to his presence,
accorded to him the cessation of the pending
proceedings against him, and set him at liberty.
Count Teleki promised to give up all his political
connections abroad, not to cross the frontiers of
the Austrian Empire, and to abstain from all
participation in political affairs.

PARIS, Jan. 1.

The Moniteur has commenced publishing, in
its non-official part, a daily political review.
That of to-day contains the following :--The
Emperor of Austria has received Count Teleki,
and announced that he would grant to him a full
and complete pardon on condition of his conduct-
ing himself henceforth as a faithful subject.
Count Teleki promised this, and left the imperial
palace a free man.

THE RECEPTION AT THE TUILERIES.
PARIS, Jan. 1.

The Emperor received the Diplomatic Corps at
the Tuileries to-day. To Lord Cowley, who, in

regard the future with confidence, being convinced
that the friendly understanding between the
Powers will maintain peace." To the President
of the Corps Legislatif, the Emperor is said to
have replied—" I have always reckoned on the

A resolution had been passed in the Senate pro-
viding for the appointment of a select committee.
of thirteen to report on the state of the Union.
