DUDLEY.

DEATH OP Mn, JOSEPH BEACH.—The death of the
Shove-named gentleman was announced in Dudley on
Wednesday morning, and produced on all hands a true
expression of regret at the loss of no active and useful.
public man. Since Mr. Beach's connection with the
town of Dudley, he has used every effort to stimulate
the influential men of the town to exertion in improving
not only the trade, but the condition of the working
classes, for whom he supplied baths at his own expense,
when the old Local Board of Health declined to take
any responsibility with this e,t :'orient. As a breeder
of flest.class do.i Beach has been
most successful, and has carried oil some of the highest
prizes in the kingdom. The farinaceous food now no
widely known and appreciated, was made at the Dudley

and Tipt,m Mill, under Mr. Beach's dizection, and the
working mono pig show was also estaltlished by the
energy of the &tee sed. A blank is left in the list of
energetic, hard-working citizens anxious for progression
and general improvement, by the death of one who never
by an; Oct er deed earned the ill-will of any one to whom
he was persottally known. Mr. Beach was about forty-
six years of age.

POISONING A RACEHORSE.

The case of poisoning a racehorse came before the
Recorder of Barnstaple, at the quarter sessions of the
borough on Saturday. The prisoner, George Wrsilla-
eat, groom, was indicted for ieloniously and maliciously
administering poison to a mare called Little Sally, the
property of Mr. Smallridge, of Littivhampton. The
circumstances of the case have already appeared.
It WWI shown that immediately before the Barn-
staple races the pris..ner had access tithe mare in the
stable, and that he was there seen tampering with the
animal. He was going to run the mare for the
Yeomanry Cuss, and his bargain with his employer,
Mr. Hooper, was that h.- should receive half the profit.
Immediately after the prisoner left the mare she grew
very sick and vomited, dying in great agony on the
morning of the race day.
Mr. Hewish, veterinary surgeon, made a post-
mortem examination, and traced mineral poison in the
stomach. The stomach was afterwards examined by
Mr. Herapath, the analytical chemist, of Bristol, who
discovered spirits of salt, the same poison as that con-
tained in three bottles found at the house of the pri-
soner on his apprehension.
After the hearing of the evidence, which occupied
several hours, the learned Resider summed up, and
the jury, having deliberated half an hour, brought in a
verdict of guilty.
Mr. C. H. Williams, in whose service the prisoner
had been for some time, gave him an excellent
character.
The Recorder, addressing the prisoner. said the act
of which he had been found guilty was most cowardly
end dastardly. He could not pass a lighter sentence
than penal servitude for five years. The court was
crowded during the hearing of the case. Prisoner has
a wife and three children.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.

An inquest has been held in the Paddington Wolk-
house, London, on the body of a young woman named
Louisa Davis, aged 27, which was taken out of the
Grand Junction Canal.
It appeared that the deceased was in service as cook
in thu family of a Portuguese lady, Mrs. Pereira, Bays-
water, where the sister of William Pretty, a young man
to whom she was engaged, was housemaid. He went
to Talbot-road on Saturday evening to see the deceased,
and on leaving she desired to walk with him to the
omnibus. The housemaid objected, as it was then
10 o'clock, when words ensued, and Pretty went away
alone. The young women quarrelled, and the next
morning the deceased left the house at 6 o'clock. The
deceased called on a friend at Nottinghill, and then
went to her uncle at Edmonton. On Monday night,
at 9 o'clock, she went to her mistress's house for her
boxes, which were not to he given up till the following
morning. At 10 o'clock that night a voung man,
named Morris, saw the de:eased in the Grand Junc-
tion Canal. A barge had passed over her. He
plunged into the water and fl.lllll with her to the
shore. She was partly dressed, and her crinane and
upper gown were found on the bank. A doctor was
sent for, and, pending his arrival, some men rolled the
deceased about and rubbed her body, with the view to
restore her. They, however, had made a serious mis-
take. On the arrival of Mr. Brown, a surgeon, he
found the men had kept the head of the deceased down
and the feet raised. He attempted to resuscitate the
deceased, but unfortunately without avail. The cause
of death was drowning.
It was afterwards ascertained that the cause of her
so abruptly leaving her situation was the sharp temper
of the housemaid and the quarrel on the Saturday
night. She had only been a month in that situation,
and having obtained another, she applied to a lady
with whom she had previously lived five years for a
character, which was to be granted, but when she went
on the Monday afternoon it was refused, as the lady
had been informed of something with which she was
disoeased.
'the jury were of opinion'that this affected the mind
of toe deceased, and led to self.destruction. They re-
turned a verdict of "Suicide while in an unsound state
of mind."

HALESOWEN.

FETENDLY Socuirnis CONFELENCF:. On Wednesday
evening a conference of delegates from the various
Lodges and Friendly Societies of Halesowen and its im-
mediate neighbourhood was held in the Assembly Room
of the Shenstone Hotel. Hales men. The conference was
convened by a requisition from the committee of one of
the oldest societies in the district, which was well res-
ponded to by delegates appointed by each separate no.
ciety. There were eleven societies represented, number-
ing in all 1,041 members. The objeets of the medical
profession respecting the advance of salaries for their
services.—Mr. T. Williams, nail and rivet manufacturer
of Halesowen, was called to the chair.—Amongst the
societies represent.' were the Church Societit s Nos. 1
and 2, the Shenstone Lodge of the Odd Fellows, the
Foresters, the Free Gardeners, the Wolverhampton Re-
formed Order of Odd Fellows, the Honourable Order of
Modern Masons, the Independent Chapel Friendly So-
ciety, the Independent Order of Halted Brothers, ,kc.
—After some discussion, it was resolved to call on the
delegates of the various societies in rotation, as they
stood on the list, in ordet to arrive at the general opinion
of the meeting on the subject, which was that the de-
mand of the surgeons is unjust towards the labouring
classes, that the scale of payments would require in-
creasing to meet those demands, and that such increase
of payments could not be satisfactorily adopted. It was
also the subject of remark that the r,muneration of the
medical men was already adequate to the assistance re-
ceived from them, inasmuch as they frequently directed
the members of clubs to purchase for themselves what
was requisite to meet their several cases, instead of sup.
plying what was needed free of expense to such mem-
bers. The unanimous decision of all the societcs, by
delegation, was that they would not comply with any ad-
vance of salary to the doctors ; and after considerable
discussion it was resolved, "That this meeting pledges
itself not to accede to any rise of salary demanded by
the medical profession."—The resolution was pot to the
meeting and unanimously carried.—The secretary of the
conference received instructions to communicate their
decision to the surgeons of the different societies, and
to obtain their replies, which are to be laid before them
at a conference to be held on the sth day of August next.
—Votes of thanks to the chairman, vice-chairman, and
secretary brought the meeting to a termination.

11A(1LET o, AYALA sit.—This match was played in nags
ley Park. on Wednesday. An excellent wieket was pre•
pared, and the ground being in capital run-getting con-
dition, some very good scoring wan anticiplted. The
Walsall gentlemen won the toss and went first to the
wickets. Messrs. Leighton and R. Thacker made some
very tine leg hits, but none of the others succeeded in
making a very long stand against the bowling of Messrs.
Itlybould (round hand slows) and Barnes. The total of
the innings was 100 runs. The fielding of J. J. King,
at long leg and cover point, was very line. After an ad-
journment for luncheon Hagley took the bat, awl coup
menced rather unfortunately—too wickets being got for
live runs, including a bye for three. A determined and
lengthened stand was then made by Messrs. Hall and
Underhill. the former especially hitting very freely and
hard in all direstions. A number of changes were made
in the bowling, bat the two batsmen were not separated
till more than 1-10 runs had been scored. Several of the
other players made excellent additions to the score, the
totel being brought up to KU. The following is the
score :

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT WOMB-
WELL'S MENAGERIE.

On Thursday evening, a seaman named John Brown,
belonging to her Majesty's ship Duke of Well,nyon,
met with a frightful accident at Wombwell's menagerie,
which is at present exhibiting at Portsmouth, through
an act of foolhardiness. He was in company a ith
several of his shipmates, and, by way of bravado,
said he would show them that he was not afraid
of the lions. He accordingly thrust his right hand
through the bars of the lion's cage, when one of the
animals sprang forward and seized it in its mouth.
The agonised cries of the unfortunate man created a
most painful excitement in the menagerie, and it was
not until the keepers had beaten the brute off with an
iron bar that the hand was released. The back of the
hand and the wrist were most horribly lacerated, the
flesh having literally been torn off. As soon as he was
extricated from his painful position Brown fainted
away. He was taken to the Landport hospital in a
cab, and it was found that the injuries were of such
a serious character that it was necessary to amputate
the limb, which was at mice done, and the maimed
man is now progressing favourably.

THE IRON TRADE.

The quarterly meeting for Wolverhampton
took place on Wednesday in the Exchange
There was a good muster of keel ironmasters,
but the customers front a distance were few and
far ,between. There was but little doing on the
spot, but there are and have been inquiries which
lead to the belief that there will be a busier
trade during the current quarter. The best
houses have been fully employed, some of the
second-class have been better all for orders, and
pig-iron is held more firmly. There has been
more demand for boiler-plates, but the activity
is ahnost entirely in small mills. As thick/alai
masters have also reduced prices, no opposition
is looked for on the part of the men to the re-
duction in their wages. The ironstone getters
will probably resist "a drop " in their wages of
sixpence a day, on the ground that it is three-
peuce more than custom warrants.

The second of the Quarterly Meetings of the
fromnasters of this district WRS held in the
Town Hall, on Thursday afternoon. There was
a large attendance, all the great iron-producing
arms to this and other districts being repre-
sented. as were also the dealers and the various
shipping houses. The amount of business tran-
s cted was not Mtge, but tl:ere WV en unquest•
ionable improvement in that respect on the two
previous Quarter-days of this year; the tone was
better, and the prevailing feeling was that as
soon as the hot weather is turned, the trade will
look up ;in fact, the orders given out it this
meeting showed an improvement, which is gene-
re], as ri cards all deset.iptions of fluished iron.
There was no approach to buoyancy on Thurs-
day, but produears left the hall with a feeling
of more confidence end of Owed aluess than for
the last eiht ii months at least. There is a
Idr deantu4 foe Staffordshire pigdron, till-nit lie.

FAILURE IN THE IRON TRADE.

We regret to have to annottace that Messrs.
Lee inni Bottom ef the Hyde ironworks, Ent-
rad., have be:ai cult:polled to call u meeting of
their credi OVA to lay before them a tatairtna.t
of alfairs. The amount of liabilities is undor
i 35,000., and, as a set oil against this, the assets
show nominally, au almost equal sum. The de-
pressed st.dc of the iron trade of lute years has
tohl heavily against tide firm, anal the gradmi
decay of this one° nourishing concern has re•
suited in the present crisis.
the firm of Messrs. Lee and Bolton is one of
the oldest anal most respected in this district,
and has been justly framed for its make of the
best description of liai3hed iron, more especialh.
that of rod, for wire drawing. We learn that
the meeting of creditors will take place at an
early day next week, and circulars to this effect
were sera yesterday morning to all those who
are directly interested in the estate.

MURDEROUS OUTRAGE IN A
RAILWAY CARRIAGE.

The Journal dA mi.,. gives an account of an attempt at
murder in a railway carriage

A manufacturer, on an extensive scale, of shoes and
hoots, named Lhermite, residing at Rouen, after
having inn:sell the day at Amiens, left by the Paris
train of midnight, in a second-class carriage. On
arriving at Breteuil he was found by one of the railway
men lying on the seat, all covered with blood. Every
attention being paid him, he recovered so far as to
narrate what had occurred. At first, lie said, he was
alone, but shortly after a man entered and took his
seat opposite. When the train had arrived near
Ailly-sur-Noye, the man suddenly at acked him with
a sharp instrument, and inflicted on him several
wounds. Still, the defence made was so vig,o ous that
the assailant at last opened the door, and getting out
, jumped down on the tronway. Blood flowed so abun-
dantly from the cuts that M. Lhermite fainted, and
was just recovering from that state when the train
arrived at Bretenil. A description of the man having
been given, the station master telegraphed to Ailly
mid got back a reply that a man precisely answe mg
the account sent had just left in another train for
Paris. When this letter arrived at Breteuil, the
man was immediately re ognised, and on being
charged with the offence attribute. l to him, admitted
his guilt, and added that he intended to rob the other
after having disabled him. The perpetrator, whose
name is Gurgot, was formerly a porter at the Amiens
station, but sonic time back dismissed. The wounded
man remains in an hotel at Breteuil, and his state. is
considered dangerous.

AN AMERICAN MURDER. STRANGE
CONFESSION.

Mr. Cornelius Holmes, bmther of Mr. Alex. Holmes,
formerly president of the Old Colony Ilt.ilroad, was
found murdered at about seven o'clock on the morning
of 27th of May last, in abye road near the back entrance
to the cemetery of Kingston (adjoining Plymouth),
Mass. His brains had been beaten out with a stone.
'the report which came by telegraph represented that
at eight o'clock on the evening of the 26th, whilst
Hoboes was at Deacon Samuel Andrew's house, ahoy
delivered a note to him, upon which he remarked that
he must be going. He started by the path across the
cemetery for the Stony Brook neighbourhood, at the
delta. Mr. Holmes was a wealthy man, but, not being
of a strong mind, his property had been held in trust. It
is known that he received a large sum of motley on the
26th. which was found upon him. The scene of the
murder bore evidences of a violent struggle. For awhile
no arrest was made; but at length suspicion fell on
Deacon Androxs, at whose house and in whose corn
pony the deceased gentleman was last seen, and he
was, on the .ird of June, taken into custody. The
community of Plymouth and Kingston, among whom
the Deacon lore a high reputation, was shocked by
this arrest, and the general imFression was that the
suspicions of his guilt were not ooly unfentoled but
cruel. Deacon Andrews waived any preliminary
examination, and on the sth of June avowed his
determination to make a confession of all he knew to
the Grand Jury. That confession was made, and was
qualified by the claim that the killing was done in self-
defence. The confession, it is understood, was
rejected I y the Grand Jury, and is now made public
by the onsrnt of Deacon Andrews's counsel. In it
the Deacon details his interviews with Mr. Holmes
two days prior to the tragedy and on the evening of
the homicide, showing that he and Mr. Holmes were
on terms of intimacy and friendship. Afterdescribing
' their last interview, which took place at about eight
o'clock p.m., on Tuesday, May 26, when Holmes
, found the Deacon at work in his garden, Andrews
says :

lie '.bed me to walk with him down to the new cemetery
to see some new lot. We passed out by the back end of my
lot. by Mr. Bradford's and tic. Si •Laughlin's lots, and by the
path that leads to the stile into the cemetery. We looked
at Mr. Thomas Prince's and sonic other lots, and then
returned to the stile and sat dawn on the steps a few
nannies, and he then told me that he was pang to buy hint,
In Roston, tw.i hats—a ten dollar silk and an every-day hat,
and asked my advice as to buying an every-day coat, and
then again asked me what he should buy me In Boston.
I told him to suit himself. He then asked me to
walk a little way %Rh him. I told him I was tired,

A FEMALE DETECTIVE.

The following sketch of the career of an American
female detective is taken from the New York Kero(a-
lum :
Mrs. Kate Warn, born In the town of Erin, Chewing Co.,
N.V., of poor parents, had few opportunities of educa-
tion ; but Nature had edneated her by giving her a large
brain, a good judgment, quick perception, and a resolute will.
or. erton commenced business as a priv4te detective
about fifteen years ago. some two years after he was
called upon by Mrs. Warn, a stranger, who applied for a
position as female detective. Up to that time he hail not
thought of employing females, but the novelty and utility
of the thing quickly banished what he supposed might be
' the prejudices of society, and, after several interviews,
she was taken into servtee. She soon proved her comp°. ,
tency, and when it became necessary to add other females to
that branch of the service, Mrs. Warn was chosen as their
head. Her force was thoroughly organised, and He most
rigid rules of discipline, moral and otherwise, were laid
down. Her control over all her subordinates was nommen-
smate with her strong sill, her unceasing vigilance, and,
her strict morality. A severe code she deemed necessary,
both for the preservation and utilisation of the force, and to
overcome the scruples that mankind entertained of the
propriety of that kind of service. Ifer own Me is a vindica-
tion of the wisdom of her erred, for her duty even led
her into associati,tns unpleasant to dwell on, and brought
her constantly into contact with the worst phases of

society.
Amon some of the earlier inve,tipations submitted to her
charge TIM that of the rublazy of the Atillol3 I.:press Ooria.

A CAUTION TO RAILWAY COMPANIES.

A case which will be read with some interest by
railway travellers has been tried in the Court of
Queen's Bench. A Mr. I lwynne, who lives at Plum-
stead, and is employed in London, has been in the
habit of using the South-Eastern Railway constantly
for the last eleven years. On the :rd of September ,
last, according to the railway company's state-
ment, he was detected in the act if travelling
from London-bridge to Cannon-street without
having previously paid the difference of fare, a
penny. When so charred, he said it was impossible,
and produced the other half of his ticket, which
was for Cannon-street. He left this and his address.
The thlet was detained, and six weeks after-
wards he SIMS summoned for the alleged offence
before the Lord Mayor, and fined Is. and the
costs, one of the company's officers declaring that the
ticket produced as from Cannon-street was issued on
the previous day. The company at once placarded
their stations with the fact of Mr. Gwynne's convic-
tion, without mentioning the amount of fine, and
adding that in default he was condemned to three
days' imprisonment with hard labour. For this he
now brought an action, and succeeded in recovering
£250 damages, the Chief Justioe holding that railway
companies had no more right to issue those documents
than private individuals.

CALLING A PARROT AS A WITNESS!

At a London Police-court, a man named George Herbert,
has been summoned by Mrs. Coe, for detaining a parrot, her
property.
It was stated by the defendant that he lost a parrot
on the 4th of June, and it was brought back on the
The complainant, however, proved that she
1 at her parrot on the llith, and it was the one which
was in the defendant's possession.
The Magistrate inquired of the defendant whether
his parrot talked.
'l'he Defendant : Yes, it says "Arthur," and "Think
of Puffy."
The Magistrate : Did it speak this morning?
Defendant: It said, "Think of Folly" (Laughter).
Complainant Mybird never said that.
At the request of the magistrate the parrot was
taken out of a hand basket, which had been put on the
table in front of him. The bin i was taken out by the
defendant's wile, who said it belonged to her. As she
carried the bird in her hands it made a great noise,
and endeavoured to peck at them.
The Magistrate said it did not appear to be a loving
bird. He then requested the wife of the defendant to
hand the parrot to the complainant.
The bird on being placed in the hands of the com-
plainant immediately ceased the noise, and showed
signs of affection for her.
°The Magistrate : The bird is more kind to her than
to you. It looks like filial affeetion—(l.aughter).
Loth sides still claimed the bird, the complainant
alleging that its tail had been cut, and defendant's
wife denying it was done by her.
The Magistrate From what I have seen to-day I
believe the bird is Mrs. Coca, and I shall order it to be
delivered up to her.
The complainant, who hail retained possession of the
bird, carried it off in triumph.

WRECK OF A RUSSIAN GUNBOAT

AND LOSS OF LIFE.

The screw ;Ina-at 7chWune7 of tile imperial Marine.
which left Cronstadt on the 15th of June, towing an iron
barge laden with 10,000 ponds of coal, and provisions for
fifty men for four months. has been lest on the dangerous reefs
that lie between stirsudden and Biorke Zund. The Cromitadt
Me.. over gives the following particulars:—
About six miles from Biorke, during a violent gale
of wind, and with a heavy sea running, against which
the Seltaloone could hardly make headway, the thick
cable towing the barge snapped asunder, and the end
got entangled in the gunboat's screw. The barge
being then loose, was blown towards the coast of
Lauderand ; but, as she only drew 44 feet of water,
floated over the reef without impediment, and was
drifted into a little land-locked bay, where she anchored
in security, having suffered no damage whatever. As
the Schaloune's screw was hampered by the broken
cable, there was no way of directing her course, and
she, as well as the barge, was drifted towards the
coast ; but, drawing seven and a half feet of water,
she struck on the reef several times, and at last
foundered in the shallows. A part of the crew, with
Lieut. A: attsoff, succeeded in gaining the shore
in the long boat. The commander and the rest
I remained clinging to the rigging if the sunken
vessel, while a heavy sea continually broke over them.
But as the shore was not far distant, those of the
sailors who undressed to swim, reached it in safety ;
all the others were drowned, and one, who could not
be induced to abandon the ill-fated ship, is said to
have perished of cold. Luring the night of the
accident and all the following day the inhabitants
flocked down to the coast and tried all they could to
help the sufferers, but their small fishing boats were
quite unable to live in the b 'ding surf. The Olaf
reached the scene of the disaster two days afterwards,
and picked up sixteen men belonging to the Schaloune,
seven having perished.

THE CHARGE OF PERSONATING A

BRIDEGROOM.

COURT OF PROBATE.

This cane, which was before the Court at the latter end
of last month, when the jury returned a verdict for the
defendant, was again brought before the Judge on Tues.
day morning last.
Dr. Swabey said : In this case, which was tried before
your lordship, the verdict passed for the defendant on
the 2Gth of last mouth, and the plaintiff stands to take
her trial at the Warwick Assizes on a charge arising out
of the same matter, and my application is that under
these circumstances your lord•bin will extend the time
fir moving for a new trial until we know the issue of the
trisl at Warwick.

Tim Judge . What effect would that have? In my
opinion, and I might have stated A at the conclusion of
the trial in this Court, that prosecution ought not to go
forward at all, if there be no more evidence to support it
than was adduced before me. It is one thing to say here
that the woman is net married, and it is quite another
thing to it..k jury 00 a criminal prosecution to come to

an Affirmative vervlniion that this w.lman was ttoiltY of
theoltorice with which she is charged ; and I doubt very
much whether Any Judge would a.,1, a jury to convict
the woman upon sorb evidence as we had here. But,
however that may he. if she were sconitted to-morrow it
would not have the slightest effect upon my mad with
regard to the verdict pranonnced in this court, because
the onus was then upon her, whereas now it is thrown
the other way.
Dr. Swahey: We feel that if your lordship will grant
my appliestion, we shall be in ii better position to see
how the whole matter stands, and f hope your lordship
will think it reasonable to extend the time.

The Judge: What does the other side say! Hare you
given notice of your application ?
Dr. Swabey : No, my lord.
The Judge : I clearly cannot grant it. If you like to
renew your motion, after giving them notice, you may do
so. If they consent, you may apply any day; but if they
do not consent, I think it will hardly be worth your
while to apply.
Application refused.
