(lIIT BLIKYTIIO 111101•716.)
MANCHESTER MEETING.-(THIS DAY.)

ALL AGED.SELLING STAKES T.Y.C.

Mr. Justice Bytes proceeded to sum up. He said the
caw was nearly ripe for the jury's determination. They
heard the address of the counsel on both sides, and
he had considered the evidence and had examined the
is,iots in favour of the prisoner, and did not find
they had been omitted by either conueL dlf the jury
should discover in his address any indication of his own
opinion, he urged them to dismiss it from their minds, for
it was for them to decide upon the cue, and theirs was the
repousibility. They had a solemn duty to perform ; and
he urged them to dismiss any idle rumours that might hays
reached their ears. la reference to the evidence of one Of
deceased's daughters, he remarked that it was not likely
that she had committed suicide, as when the called
her up, she said she had a bilious attack, and if she
had taken anything she must hays known better than that
and would have known that she would be likely to di*,
whereas she bad no such idea. He likewise drew the
attention of the jury to a remark which deceased made
after having taken a dose of the medicine which the pri-
eater had administered. After taking the medicine, she
was seized with a fresh attack of vomiting, and
pains in the chest, and she said it was '. That horrid mix-
ture, and she would have no more of it." With reseed to
the 9f. which deceased had had of her half brother, Mr.
Barnes, there could be but little doubt from the evidence
of that whims that she had it in her pocket at the time
she left his house; but it was never seen afterwards, and
it would be an important question for the jury to consider
what had become of that money. There was one
circumstance in favour of the prisoner, and that was that
she continued to reside in the same house after the death
of Mrs. Soamee ; but thee again the prisoner had stated
that she saw deceased take the poison in Mandy and water.
Could the prisoner stand quietly by, and see her in such
excruciating agony, in the presence of her own children,
sod not mention that fact'

DREADFUL FIRES AND EXPLOSION.

(THIS DAT.)

The firemen of the London brigade and of
Flodges's Distillery were engaged for several hours this
(Saturday) morning, in extinguishing fires. In ass in-
stance the premises of Meters. .1. Limes and Co., known
as the steam saw-mills, situate in Twistens.alloy, Pins.
bury, were in flames. The building was between Wand 70 feat
long, and over 23 feet wide, cootaining property and multi-
nary of great value. At one time it was feared that the
flames would have extended to the houses in Bunhill-row.
immense showers of sparks and Bakes of burping timber kept
falling upon the buildings. Captain Shaw, therefore, had
his extioguishing apparatus so placed round the hooves as
to enable his men to attack the main body of fire at each
point. The premien, however, were burned out, but, for-
tunately, the brigade succeeded in saving the adjoining
houses. Masers. Limes are insured in the Sun Fire.ofike.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(TIIIS DAY.)

WESTMINSTER.
KITRAORDINART CHAIIGL
A gentleman exult 50 years of age, described on the
policeahest u Mr. John Henry Stanford, of Foley-boos,
Portland-place, sod stated to be a magistrate of the county
of Micklleses, and labs a member of parliament, wee charged
with assaulting Frederick Smith, manager of the Grosvenor
Hotel, Pimlico.

Coosplainsut entered into a long statement, from which
it appeared that at 10 last night he found the defendant in
the still.room, and upou his refusing to leave complainant
'lid he must put him out, and laid his hand upon him to
du so, when defendant violently charged at him with his
rnbrella, but he warded the blow from his chest to his
shoulder, and his aunt was torn. Defendant was quite sober.
l'iza Aston, st;U-room maid, was called to support the
drug.. She said that defendant would not go, and
r.saulted complainant with his umbrella.
Henry COOIIIIIS, 40 B, said he was called to a disturbance
at the Grosvenor Hotel, and upon going there had defendant
given into his custody for smutting Mr. Smith, the
manager, with his umbrella. He found defendant sur-
rounded by half a dozen peraons. He was quite sober.
Inspector Howard, of the B division, mid that when the
parties came to the police ststion last night complainant
wanted to charge the defendant with a felonious asseult.
Mr. Paynter (to complainant)—Was that so!
Complainant—lt was.
Mr. Paynter—Wbat did you mean by feloniously await-
ing you!
Complainant—l meant from the very violent manner in
which he struck me.

The next fire of importance happened about 5 o'clock
s.m., in the well-known tavern termed the Pilgrim, the
property of Mr. M. Pritchard, No. 35, Queues-tow,
Walworth-road. Had it not been for the opportune
discovery, which was made by the police on duty,
it is not at all improbable that • fearful seal-
fice of life must have occurred ; as it wAs the peewee
is the upper moms bad the greatest difficulty is reathing
the ground. The bar and bar parlour were nearly
and the upper portion of the building grea damsged.
Mr Pritchard was insured for the building and the 0011i11GUI
in the Liverpool and Loudon Fire-offios.
Another fire occurred co the premises belonging to M.
Camilla Silvey, • photographic artist's chemist, carrying on
business at No. 3s, Poroliester-terraos, Bayswater ; but the
most distressing fire of the whole was one that happened
about • quarter before 5 o'clock this morning or the premises
of Mr. Stockman, an artist in fireworks, carrying on business
at No. 8, ShAckawall•street, Tyson-street, Bethoal-green.
It appears that Mr. Ste' Annan was in the habit of keeping
fireworks on the ground Boor, and, with his family, occu-
pied the upper rooms as sleeping apartments. This morn-
ing, whilst the residents were in their beds asleep, they
were suddenly startled by hearing a loud explosion. Fumes
of sulphurous smoke quickly filled the bedrooms of the
uu-
fortunate inmates, who, with one exception, were rescued.
Mr. Stockman, it is presumed, whilst endeavouring ter
extinguish the Bre, was so frightfully burned over the
body that he was obliged to be token to the hospital, and
it is doubtful whether he will recover.

Poynter —A very indiscreet term to use, to may the
lout of it.

Defendant said that this wu the first time in
bis life in which he bad ever been in a polio, or
any other court, and Le now deeply regretted
it, but complained of having been grossly ill-
treated in the transaction. He had dined with a friend
at the Grosvenor Hotel yesterday, and on leaving had to
pus clone to the open door of what be thought was the
kitchen. Cui :amity impelled him to look in, and be
bad scarcely done so, having barely entered, when he
was followed by the complainant, who accosted
him rudely, and called the porter to fetch a
policeman, which induced defendsnt to remain to meet
any charge that might be made against him. Complainant
then rushed upon him and assaulted him, when he certainly
defended himself with hie umbrella ; he was then stir.
rounded by the menials of the hotel, and received some
toiling aseaulta.

A very remarkable and fatal accident happened toe
child in Huddersfield on Wednesday. The child, a boy,about
two years of age, was taken by a maid-servant into a photo-
grapher's shop, and whilst the girl was sitting for her por-
trait, the child got hold of an uncorked bottle containing
cyanide of potassium, and drank a considerable quautity of
this dangerous solution. He died two hours after.
ALLEOED hiusont OF • MOTHER NEAR HALIFAX.
—Yesterday forenoon, • man, named William Hellewell, •
weaver and farmer, of Soyladt near Halifax, was appre-
hended on a charge of murdering his aged mother, with
whom he lived. The prisoner is forty-one years of age
and unmarried. The deceased, his mother, is about sixty.
six years, the widow of John Hellewell, farmer. The &.
awed was found dead at the bottom of a precipice, pear
her farmhouse, yesterday morning. It is impacted
that she was thrown into the excavation by the pri-
soner, who it is well known has frequently treated liar
with violence. During the last few weeks he has hese very
unkind to her, and quarrels have been of frequent occur-
rence between them. She accused him of neglecting to
mist her in maintaining the farm, of getting money from
bar sad not paying her back, and of keeping company with
a young woman of whom she disapproved. There are two
sons living with the mother—William, the prisoner, and
' David. The latter left the house un Thursday night, at
half-past 10 o'cicck. The mother was then in bed and the
•pruoner bad gone upstairs. The fire was out. There bad
been &quarrel, and David was afraid to remain in the house.
He left and rambled about on the hill toposind in the valleys
of the vicinity until morning. At six o clock be went beck
to the house, and was surprised to find no one in. Thera
was a pan on the fire containing some hot water, and the
fire had burnt out. The prisoner was soon after seen in the
farmyard, but he denied all knowledge of hie mother,
and appeared very moody. The body of the poor woman
WAS found about two hours after by some stone delvers.
There were several deep cuts on her bead, and a braise on
her arm. The cuts appear as though they might have been
made by falling over the cliff, which is about 34 feet high,
but the injury on the arms seems to have been caused -by
a blow. In the course of the forenoon, the son William
was apprehended on suspicion of murdering his mother,
and taken to Halifax.
Itonegag Ar • CHLPEL.—The police have re-
ceived information of a robbery at the Roman Catholic
Chapel, Duke-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields. It appears that
some person or prams effected an entrance into the chapel
by means, it is au 1, of the roof, and carried off the
silver chalices other articles, said to be of the value
of 501.
SUNDAY RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN THEATRES.—
The united committee for arranging the holding of religious
services in theatres during the winter, and which have been
so successful in their operation, have, after due considera-
tion, come to the determination of pursuing the same
course during the ensuing winter months. The theatres
',elected, with the managers of which an agreement has
been entered into, are the Standard, Shoreditcb, opposite
the terminus of the Great Eastern Railway ; the Pavilion,
Whitechapel-road ; and hadler's Wells Theatre. The first
Sunday in October has been appointed for the opening
service at each establishment.—Bra.
LOCKED I.IP IN A RAILWAY GOODS FAN.—About
midnight oft Saturday the attention of Police-sergeant Wines
was attracted by cries proceeding from one of the Taff
Vale goods vans at the docks. He went to it and found •
man lurked up in it. The sergeant immediately handed
the man over to the railway police. He stated that he
got into the van at Dieu' and went to sleep. When be
awoke be discovered that he was locked up in the van at
Cardiff.—Cardiff Guardian.

ways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week ending

/ANGULAR CAR! OF ADVSKTLeiING FOR ♦ wrm-TIIILIATKII-

MO TO SHOOT.

Edward Hunt, aged 7'.i'•calpenter, residing at 5, Merlin's-
place, Resoman.street, Clerkenwell, appeared before Mr.
liEyncotui., charged with threatening to shoot Mrs. Mary
Fleetwood, or 87, Frederick-street, Caledonian-road.
Mr. John Wakeling, solicitor, appeared for the coat-
pLiinant, and from his statenisut it appeared that his client
ea married woman, but Las not seen or heard of her husband
for the last twenty years. About last November the defend-
ant advertised in a local paper for a respectable woman,
noddle-aged and with about 4U/.,for a wife. The complainant
answered that advertisement, stating that she was a widow,
that she had no money, but Lad a good house of furniture,
and directed that all communication should be by letter
only. The defendant instead of writing went himself, and
ha was so smitten with her charms, and she with his, that
the consented to take a coffee-shop with him as • partner,
at 10,4. City-road. When they had been in the shop some
time the defendant was taken to prison for not paying for
his wife's funeral, and whilst he was there the complainant
removed the goods and went away. She was away from him
he some tame, but on Thursday morning last he found her
out, twilled into her room, kissed her, and hugging her
errs tightly, said, " Well, now you shall marry me." The
coinplainaot replied, " I never can—l never will ;" on
wlikh the defendant said, " Well, yon shall live with me ;
I have made up my mind you shall live with me, or you
shall die with me. I have bought a double-banelled
I etch, and have given Is. 6d. for it to laugh), and I will
murder you." He afterwards said it would he a pity to see
the complainant's blood spilt over the new furniture (a
Lugh). and that his life was nothing, without he could live
with the complainant. It wax for these threats that he
Wskeliug) had to ask that the defendant should be
lotus] over to keep the peace towards the complainant and
ill her Majesty's subjects.
The defendant, looking tenderly at the complainant, a
110Ulall about 50 tan of age, said-1 will never hurt you.
All I have done is for love, and I love you still. (Loud
laughter.)
Mr. Wskeling said that since the present prosecution had
been pending the defendant bad write., to the com-
plainant the following letter :
. My diva Mary,—You have exasperated my feelings In

Consols are without change, at 9311 to both for

There was a fair demand for money yesterday at
11 to 2 per cent. At the Bank of England there
was a somewhat increased inquiry, but it was
still moderate.

In foreign stocks the only movement worth
notice has been in Turkish Cons°lid6s. This stock
has been the chief speculation of the pest few
mouths ; and the manner in which a very indiffe-
rent security has been converted into a good bait for
the gourmands of the British public speaks
volumes in praise of the ingenuity and of the
ability of those persons who have been instrumental
in the process. It is in vain to point out the cha-
racter of the Turkish internal debts, which have
reached their present amounts by means of the suc-
cessive promises to pay which every head of every
department in the state has in turn issued, until
the mass became so unwieldy that it became neces-
sary to decree the extinction of old debts and their
consolidation iu stock, in order that room might be
made for the fresh promises to pay which every
minister had become quite ready to issue if be only
saw the chance of finding takers. Now that the
p►per money of Constantinople has been with-
drawn, people are to be found who believe in the
complete regeneration of the Turkish financial sys-
tem, and who are persuaded that as means have
been found to place the Turkish consolidos of the
last issue in the English market, so means will also
be provided to pay the dividend thereon in London.

There is little doubt that, while it is in the inte-
rest of those who hold Turkish paper to keep open
a market for the sale of the stock into which that
paper is to be converted, and while the condition of
money renders it easy to effect that purpose with
little prospect of loss, there are still means enough to
excite the appetite of greedy proprietors of Eng-
lish sovereigns with a prospect of 14} per cent.
(which is the rate on Consolidea at the present
price, if duly paid), and there is less doubt still
that every means calculated to promote the ex-
change of a prospect of 14} per cent for those very
pounds sterling desired by the present holders of
Turkish paper, and who anticipate the conversion
of that paper into a new issue of Cons°lichSs, will be
employed to that end. Efforts, which are carefully
whispered about as secret, are being made to pro-
mote the payment of the dividend on Console:lEs
in Loudon, but the persevering authors of these
'efforts do not state how little hope they have of a
Isucoeshful result, nor do they say how imprudent
the Ottoman government would be to consent to
promise payment of dividend in London ou an in-
creased amount of internal debt, when they have
hitherto been unable to meet that on the ori-
ginal sum at which the stocks of that debt
stood. There is little doubt that the
Ottoman government is too well aware of its
present inability to pay these dividends to ven-
ture to risk the danger of a shock to its credit here ;
and for the present small probability exists of any
arrangements to that end.
The regulations of the Stock Exchange with re-
gard to foreio loans are so stringent, that unless
the amounts of stock issued and the limit of issue be
defined, a foreign stock is not allowed to quote in
the official list ; and in consequence it may easily
happen, and in case of any political or financial
alarm would certainly happen, that all the pur-
' chasers of Turkish Consolidis would find them-
selves in possession of a security which they could
not realise, and of a dividend of which they could
not obtain payment. The finances of the Ottoman
Empire will, it is sincerely to be hoped, improve ;
but they have not improved sufficiently to render an
investment in the iuterual debt safe, especially
after an advance of 10 to 12 per cent in four short
months.

Meantime, we repeat that the holders of the ex-
ternal debt may regard their own position as nut
only safe but improving. Every successive creation
of internal stock renders it incumbent on the
Turkish government to provide larger funds for the
dividends ou loans; and as the Anglo-Turkish
Loans are essentially preference loans, the addition
of each pound sterling to the revenue amounts to a
fractional guarantee on the external debt.
