TATTERSALL' S. —MoN DAY.
The attention et the large amemblage of members at
Mae Subscription-room to-day was almost wholly devoted
to the business of settling, and so slowly did matters pro-
ceed that it was not completed until an unusually late
hour. No instants, of absenteeism came to oar knowledge,
although we heard several complaints of the tardiness ex-
hibited in oertain quarters. The winner of the Cambridge-
, shire was not backed for a very large amount, as the con-
tinuous offers of 16 to 1 against her amply testify. The
general theory wee that she was certain to get a_ place,
and just as certain not to win absolutely, a belief in
which the owner and his friends are said to have shared,
their winnings being drawn for the most part from
" Plato" investments. Although there were occasional
spirts of speculation daring the afternoon they were of the
tamest description, and notwithstanding bookmakers
temptingly offered to " give an acceptance' for the Liver-
pool Cup, all attempts to infuse life into the proceedings
proved abortive. The two favourites—the Special and
Aeta3s—were bat languidly supported, and the remaining
transactions were insignificant to a degree. The Derby
betting was equally dull, consisting only of an investment
here and there upon the undermentioned horses. The
prices at the close were as follows :

!WERT.
Lait night a great open air demonstration
in favour of reform took place at the London-fields,
Hackney. The Clerkenwell, Holborn, Kingsland, Old
Ford, and Hackney branches of the Reform League, accom-
panied by their bands and bearing banners, attended, and
when the proceedings commenced there ware an enor-
mous crowd of persons present. Four platforms
were improvised for the °coaxial, Mr. J. B. LANGLEY
presiding at the principal one. The resolutions were s
he
simultaneously from the four platforms at the
sound of a bugle, red fire being used as the eignal for those
who were in favour of the resolutions, and blue fire for
dissentients, if any. The first resolution proposed was as
follows:—Resolved—"That we, the working men of the
Tower Hamlets, protest against the present system of
representation, whereby the people are compelled to obey
laws in which they have no voice, which is opposed alike
to the spirit of the constitution and our sun of justice.
That this meeting further pledges itself to support by all
lawful means the National Reform League in Its efforts to
obtain registered residential manhood suffrage and the
ballot." The resolution wu carried amid exclamations.
The next resolution was :—" That we tender our thanks
to Messrs. Gladstone, Bright. Mill, Bailee, Ernest Jones,
and all other true friends of reform, for defending the
character of the working classes against the slanderous attack
made upon them in the British House of Commons." The
resolution wasagreed to amid loud cheering. The speakers
included Messrs. Mantle, Davis, Cramer, Brighty, Lucre! t,
Osborne, Leno, and other members of the Reform League.
The proceedings throughout were of a most enthusiastic:
character.

HULL.
Yesterday, the town of Hull presented quite a
holiday appearanceonany places of business being closed
from noon, and the streets 'being crowded with people, the
majority of whom carried some decoration expressive of
their sympathy with the reform'cause. For some weeks
past it had been settled that • demonstration in favour
of reform should be held yesterday, and it was at first re-
solved to make the meeting one of a national character
by inviting some of the well-known leaders of the
people. This resolution, however, could not be carried
out in its original integrity, and so rather than
have a demonstration of a mixed character the councils of
the local Reform League and Reform Association
agreed
that it should only represent the feelings of the
tants of the town and immediate district. For this reason
the resolutions, save in one instance, were intrusted to
local men. Shortly after noon the proceedings were com-
commenced in four different parts of the town by the
formation of processions, which each marched, headed by
brass bands, to the common centre in Lowgate, from
which point the processions formed one grand and
united whole, and marched on to the Corporation
Field, where the speeches were appointed to be delivered.
The weather was not all that could have been desired,
there being a dull overcast sky and cold wind. In addition
to this discomfort there was the prospect of having to
stand on ground little better than a swamp for one or two
hours, so that it may be taken that none but those really
enthusiastic in the cause of reform took part in the pro-
ceeding ; yet it is computed that over 15,000 people were
present, or formed part of the procession. This part of
the demonstration was excellently well organised. The
different trades' unions marched under their respective
banners, marshalled by chosen representatives, and all
bearing orange rosettes, or cards with appropriate inscrip-
tions. As the dense mass of reformers moved along
the principal streets they were the recipients of con-
siderable applause from those who watched the spectacle.
Arrived at the field, which is a square inclosure about four
acres in extent, the chair was taken by Alderman Gre-
sham, J.P., a senior member of the corporation, and one
of the oldest and stanchest reformers in the town. The
speeches commenced at half-past two ; the chairman de-
livering a short address. Mr. Christie then moved " that
this meeting protests spinet the charges of venality,
ignorance, drunkeness, and indifference to reform brought
against the enenfranchised classes during the last session
of parliament, and hereby pledges itself to con-
tinued exertion until a satisfactory reform bill
be passed." The Rev. H. 011erenshaw (indepen-
dent) seconded the motion, which was carried nom. con.
Mr. Aekrill moved, and Mr. Boston (town councillor)
seconded, a resolution to the effect, " that this meeting
desires to acknowledge the services of Earl Russell, the
Right Hon. W. K Gladstone, Mr. John Bright, Mr. John
Stuart Mill, and all other members of the houses of
parliament who have supported the people's claims, and
vindicated their character."—Carried. Mr. Billany (a
working man), and Mr. George Odgers (deputation from
the Reform League), seconded the following motion :
" That this meeting expresses its indignation at the con-
duct of those liberal members of parliament who have
refused to aid the working classes in their en-
deavours to obtain a fair share of the fran-
chise and hereby pledges Resit to every effort
calculated to secure an early passing of a bill which shall
extend the suffrage so as to give the industrious classes a
due share in the representation of the country."—Carried.
The evening meeting was held in the Qv Den's Theatre, a
spacious building capable of bolding 4,000 people. The
chair was taken by Mr. W. Irving, J.P. Amongst those
who addressed the assembly were the borough members,
Mr. James Clay and Mr. C. M. Norwood.

The reform demonstration at Leicester yesterday
was, very successful on the occasion of the visit of Mr.
Reales and Colonel Dickson. A procession, accompanied
by six bands of music and,numerous characteristic banners,
paraded the town, many of the trades joining in the
demonstration. At 3 o'clock the people concentrated in
the Market-place, and the scene was very animating and
imposing. The cut assemblage was add eased from three
stands. At the first, Mr. Councillor Charlesworth was
chairman, and the meeting was addressed by Mr. Beales,
the Rev. W. Wood, Messrs. S. Payne, Barrow, T. Moea,
J. J. Preston, J. Clough, and P. A. Taylor, M.P. At the
second stand, Mr. lxitchmore was chairman, and the reso-
lutions were propmed and supported by Messrs. Stalin, W.
Holmes, D. Bull, Stoughton, Rev. Mr. Fletcher, and Col.
Dickson. At the third stand Mr. Thomas Emery presided.
and the meeting was addressed by Messrs. H. Newton, J.
Johnson, D. Merrick, J. Newton, G. Wilson, J. Marcus,
G. Scott, J. Parker, and J. Warner. At all the stands
the following resolutions were carried unanimously:—
let. "That this meeting protests against the perpetuation
of class government, whereby the people are compelled to
obey laws in the making of which they have no voice, and
pledges itself to adopt all legitimate means of organising
and agitating for the only just basis of representation,
namely, registered residential manhood suffrage protected
by the ballot." 2nd. " That this meeting gratefully ac-
knowledges the services of the Right Hon. W. E. Glad-
stone, John Bright, J. S. Mill, P. A. Taylor, and all true
friends of reform who, throughout the late discussions in
parliament, vindicated the character and claims of the
people, and further expresses confidence in the honesty
and ability of John Bright to champion the peoples' cause
in the House of Commons." 3rd. " That this meeting
tenders its warmest thanks to Mr. Edmond Beales,
Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, Mr. Ernest Jones, and other
members of the Reform League, who have nobly
stood forward for the just rights of the people."
From 15,000 to 20,000 persons todc part in the proceed-
ings. We learn by telegraph that a crowded meeting was
held in the Temperance Hall last night. Three thousand
persona were present, and the speakers included Mr. P. A.
Taylor, M:P., Mr. Beeler, Mr. Ernest Jones, and several
liberals of the town. The game reaolutioas as those pared
at the afternoon meetings were carried by acclamation.
Mr. Alderman Whetstone presided over a second meeting
in the Town Hall, which was also addressed by Mr. Ernest
Jones, and similar resolutions were carried.

THB PALMA COURTS.

LAMBETH.
Henry Others? a labourer 22, was charged Wore 5f2.
Elliott with maliciously stabbing • bay mare, the property
of the Polies Commissioners.
Polioe.conatable Thomas Morris, 825 A, said that shortly
after 12 on Saturday night he was called on by polioe-con-
stable 42 Wto assist him in dispersing a mob of persons
who bad assembled to see two men who were fighting, and
he rode up to the crowd with the intention of dispersing
the people. On approaching the place the prisoner ex-
claimed, " If you bring your horse near me I'll rip his irts
up," and immediately after he felt the horse shrink f
the prisoner and found the animal was stabbed through the
girth and that the blood was 0013114 through. He then took
him into custody, and with the assistance of another con-
stable removed him to the station-house.
Two other constables corroborated the statement of the

leak ;Tithes., and
Mr. Arthur Cherry, veterinary surgeon to the police,
said he examined the mare, and found a wound on the off
side about three-quarters of an inch long and about
two inches deep. The wound might be deeper, and the
instrument, he thoughts had entered the cavity of the
chest. He did not minder the wound at
.present &P-
-orous ;bon it was d
ally, to say what mischief might
be going on internally,
and the animal would require
quietude for some time.
In reply to the charge, the prisoner said he was much
the worse for liquor at lia time, and was sorry for what
had occurred ; but
The constables said that though he had been drinking
he was well aware of what he did at the time.
The prisoner was folly committed for trial.
William Green was next charged with attempting to
rescue the last prisoner from the custody of the oonstaMes.
The charge was clearly proved, and the prisoner was
convicted in a penalty of 10e., or ten days' imprisonment.

THAN-
Joke Bayed, a dock-labourer, was char with being
in possession of tube, for the purpose of Hkgally sucking
wines and brandies out of casks, and committing an
offence called " sucking the monkey," but in other words
sucking wine out of a cask in the London Dock. He
was also charged with violently assaulting Robert Turner,
a dock constable.
On Saturday afternoon Turner saw the prisoner proceed
to a quarter cask of wine on one of the quay', and insert
a tube in the bung-hole. The prisoner had just begun to
suck the monkey, when Turner pounced upon him, seized
him by the collar, and said, " You are robbing the com-
pany. Prisoner immediately put the tube in his pocket,
and said to the constable, " You —, if you don't let me
go I will kill you," at the same time throwing him on his
Deck on the stone pavement, and forcing his knees into the
constable's chest. A struggle took place, and thepeople took
the prisoner off the constable. The prisoner was forcing the
complainant towards the basin when a police constable,
named James Newberry, No. 36 H, came up and took the
prisoner into custody. Turner, in conclusion, said if the
constable bad not come up he should have been thrown into
the dock.
Newberry confirmed the latter part of the constable's
statement. He produced the tube. The Irisoner was sober.
The prisoner said he had been in the Dock Company's
service 14 years.
The prisoner was sentenced to two months' imprison-
ment and hard labour for the assault on Turner.
James Edwards, about 23 years of age, was charged with
stealing a 5/. Bank of England note from a sailor named
Patrick Sheridan, now staying at a boarding-house in
Well-street, Whitechapel.
On Saturday afternoon the sailor and some others, his
shipmates, were drinking in a public-house, and the Lace
I took a Si. note out of his pocket to pay for a pot of ale. The
prisoner immediately took up the note and handed it to a
companion, who ran away with it. The prosecutor immedi-
ately collared the prisoner, and handed him over to a con-
stable named Damerell, 140 H. The prisoner, on hearing
the charge against him, said to Damerell, It is a alum b
my mate ; and if he'll give me time I'll get the note back
for him."
Mr. Partridge asked the meaning of the word " slum"
used by the pnsoner.
Damerell—Thieves use the word. It means he has put
it away. I have heard thieves call out " Slum it !" put it
away, conceal it. The note has no doubt been slummed,
if not changed. The prisoner was a awellmobsman, and
belonged to a lawless gang, who got about sailors and
robbed them.
Mr. Partridge said that sailors were beset with crimps,
touters, thieves, and prostitutes directly they came on
shore. He remanded the prisoner, and advised the pro-
secutor if he had any more money to take care of it.
Sheridan said—l have four sovereigns left, your
honour.
Mr. Partridge—Yon will lose that if you don't mind.

THE DISCOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY IN
THCITY.

After our report left the Mansion-house yester-

da
Mr. George Taylor was sworn, and deposed that he
now carried on the business of a jeweller at No. 24, Pack-
ington-street, Paddington, and in September last he was
town traveller to Messrs. Faraday and Davey, and on the
22nd of that month he went out with the trap, attended
by the driver, having a black leather bag, containing 3001.
worth of jewellery, together with other similar property.
The bag be had safe on the foot-board between the driver
and himself at about 11 o'clock in the day, but missed it
when near Whitechapel Church. He immediately returned
to his employers' establishment, and communicated the
loss to Mr. Davey, one of the firm, and placards and adver-
tisements were published describing the contents of the
bag, and offering a reward for their recovery. The witness
had been shown the turquoise brooches, enamelled pins,
mourning rings, and five odd earrings which had been
found on the prisoner's premises, and he believed that
they were in the bag at the time it was stolen or lost, but
he could not swear to them. He believed the bag had been
stolen, and not lost.
In his cross-examination the witness said the bag had
been placed on the foot board, because there was not room
for it inside the trap. He had not concealed any fact con-
nected with the matter from his employers, but nine days
after he had been discharged because as was stated of his
carelessness, and because they were dissatisfied with him.
Mr. Lewis again urged that there was in this case no
proof that the property had been stolen, still leas was its
identity proved, for the traveller would not undertake to
swear that the jewellery produced was in the hag. On
these grounds he trusted the alderman would not commit
in this case.
Mr. Alderman Finnic reminded Mr. Lewis that the pro-
secutor, Mr. Davey, had sworn positively to one of the
turquoise brooches found having been made to order, and
pecked in the bag by his own hands. This CIAO must go
for trial.
Detective Moss then drew attention to a new case, with
respect to two Brussels carpets, which had been stolen
from the Congregational Church in Daliton-lane, Lower
Clapton, on the night of the 22nd March last.
Detective officer Witney proved that under the orders of
Sergeant Moss he made a search of the prisoner's ware-
house on October 14, and in the upper floor he found
the two carpets produced, under a pile of bags of rags
which reached the ceiling.
The carpets were identified by Mr. Cole, of the firm of
Cole and Co., of Amherst-road, upholsterers, who had
planned and laid them down in the class-mom of
the Congregational Church at Clapton, and were
supplied in September, 1864, to the trustees. The
sacrilege was proved by William Summerfield, the
chapel keeper, who also identified the carpets
and the red blind cord with which the carpets had
been tied up, and which had been the window cord to the
blind attached to the casement, by the cutting out of which
the thieves had gained admission.
d This concluded the proceedings of the day, and the pri•
,rk soner was again remanded for another week.

THE TRADE OUTRAGE AT SHEFFIELD. —At a
meeting of the Sheffield Town Council yesterday the recent
trades' union outrage in New Hereford-street came under
discussion, and it was proposed that a deputation, con-
sisting of the Mayor and Alaennan Brown (Master Cutler),
Alderman Jackson (President of the Chamber of Com-
merce), Alderman Vickers, and Councillor Won, should
be appointed as a deputation to wait on the Home Secre-
tary to confer with him as to the necessity of granting a
commission to inquire into the attempt recently made to
blow up the house of William Fearnebough, in Sheffield.
In the course of a brief discussion the proposition met
with nearly the unanimous approbation of the council,
but a general reluctance was expressed to fix the guilt of
this outrage upon the trades' unions, although several
speakers hinted that it was well known what everybody's
opinion was. The impression seemed to be that govern-
, ment should appoint a special commission with power to
summon witnesses before them, to examine upon oath, and
to give indemnities to persons who might make statements
inculpating themselves. The issuing of such a OOMMitholl
would require a special act of parliament. The resolution
was carried, and the deputation will seek an interview with
the Home Secretary as 'boon as possible.
ACCIDENT TO A LIVERPOOL DI VER. --Some weeks
ago a schooner named the Dora, laden with iron, was run
into and sunk near the entrance of the George's Dock, Liver
pool. As a matter of course, a wreck with such a cargo on
board caused a great obstruction to the egress and ingress
business of the dock, and measures were taken to cleat
away the wreck and the iron ore. For this purpose the
dock board at once placed a dredger and a diver at the
service of those employed in raising or clearing away the
wreck. The name of the diver employed is DI evon, and
yesterday morning be wee engaged as u.eal in his sub-
. marine labours, and after being submerged the usual time,
he gave the signal to thole above to raise him. His alarm
was being promptly attended to, and he was being gradu-
, ally raised to the surface, when through some lubberly
, conducton the pert of the crew of the New Ferry Company's
steamer Sylph, that vessel ran right over the spot where
Devon was. The cap of the diving bell was knocked off,
s and the diver at once sank to the bottom of the river
, loaded with the " bell" After • great deal of trouble the
, pour fellow was found and brought up in amy exhausted
state. Stimulants bad been administered to him and he
- gradually recovered, but he is very much shaken and
unnerved.

THE LATE FATAL 7Tr: HT AT THE IrESTZED.
Yesterday evening, Mr. S. F. Langham, the
deputy coroner for Westminster, resumed and brought to
a close an inquiry into the circumstances attending the
death el a man named Edward Wilmot, caused is conse-
quence of a blow received in the course of a fight or "spar-
ring match," salt was called by the persons concerned in
it, which took place at the Queen's Head, Windmill-street,
Haymarket, kept by a well known pugilist, named Jemmy
Shaw. The board-room of the Charing-oross Hospital,
in which the inqqjg was held, was crowded by persons
who were interestillifin the result.
Inspector Silverton said that since the last inquiry he
bad apprehended another of the seconds. At eleven
o'clock on Monday last, • man'named Daniel Morris, read-
ing at No. 3, New-street, St. Giles's, a pugilist, amen-
dared at the Marlborough-street Police-station, as one
who had aided and abetted in causing Edward Wilmot's
death on the 9th instant Morris did not state in what
way he had aided or betted. A mud was handed in, on
the face of which it appeared that the fight
between Young and Wilmot was for a purse
of sovereigns " subscribed for by • number of
gentlemen patrons of the noble art of self-
defence." James Evans was called, and cautioned by the
coroner. He stated that Wilmot had asked him to become
his second, and he had agreed to do so in conjunction with
• man named Do ally They west to Shaw's, where the
match took place, Daniel Morris, • horse ceper, and
Thomas Dawes, a coke dealer, being Young's seconds. A
man named George Flinn, reading in Newton-street, Hol-
born, was the time keeper. He thought that Shaw, the
landlord, was not present during the sparring, but be yap
not sure of the fact, as he was very excited and anxious
about the success of " his boy." It was 1001. to sixpence
in favour of Wilmot, and witness went to Young's
father, who was present, and asked him to withdraw
hie son, but he refused. Suddenly there was a
renewal of the fight, and Young gave Wilmot a blow on
the jaw, which caused him to real and fall on the back of
his head. Witness saw, from the manner in which Wil-
mot's chin fell upon his breast that he would not be able
to go into the ring any more, and accordingly gave in
up
favour of Young. The blow was • perfectly fish one—
there was nothing foul about it ; nor, indeed, anything
that was unfair during the hour or hour-and-a-haU that
the match lasted. The men fought with gloves. Soon
after Wilmot fell he said to witness, " Nuts, lam very
bad," and some brandy was given him. Finding that be
became worse, witness got a cab, and conveyed him to
Charing-cross Hospital, where he died. In answer to Mr.
Lewis, witness said the men laughed and joked
with each other, and showed no vindictive feel-
The coroner then summed up, pointing out to
thejury that persons engaged as the parties to this act
had been were committing an illegal act, and that in
case of death ensuing they were liable to be found guilty
of manslaughter. The jury retired at half-past 7 o'clock,
and came into court again at a quarter to 9, when they
asked the coroner whether, if they were of opinion that
death woe caused by • slip, they would be justified in re-
turning a verdict of accidental death. The coroner said
not unless they thought that the slip was unconnected
with any blow or succession of blows that had been in-
flicted. The jury once more retired, and at half-past 9, the
coroner being impatient, sent to inquire whether there was
any chance of an agreement. The reply was that they
were 10 to 4, and hoped very soon to come to a decision.
At a quarter past eleven o clock the jury came into court,
and returned a verdict of "Manslaughter " flst John
Young, the man who killed the deceased ; ThaammShaw,
the landlord of the house ; Edward Donelly, a second
Thomas Dawes, a second ; Daniel Morris, a second ; and
James Evans, a second.
The coroner then made out his warrant for their com-
mittal, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute •
the Central Criminal Court.

(From the Western Daily Press.
There appears to be no probability that the die-

tence of " Turpin" Kitch, at Bridgwater, on Thursday last,

nesse' whose evidence tended to convict George Kitch
oz
the previous day, was standing at the door of his house,
unfastening one of his boots, and whilst doing so he heard
a noise near the ins-stye, at the end of his garden. On
looking in that direction he maw a labourer named James
Howe pointing a gun at him. As soon as Howe saw that
he was observed he appears to have moved the gun, and
the charge went through one of the windows, nearly every
pane of which was broken. Stacey at once made an alarm,
and started in pursuit of the would-be asemasin. Stacey
hot only recognised Howe, but also another man named
Robert Tothill, who was with him when he fired the gun.
Both men started off at a rapid pace as soon as the gun was
fired, but Stacey fell down whilst pursuing them, and they

neer the church, heard Mr. Stacey's alarm, and at craze
, went to his assistance. Both of them then went to Howe'.
house, and waited till he returned, when he was taken into
custody. They then went to Tothill's residence. After they
had remained there some time he returned, and was
also taken. Both men denied all knowledge of the
offence. They were taken before the magistrates at
Bridgwater, on the following day, and were remanded for
the production of further evidence, as it was alleged that
the prisoners had been heard to declare their intention of
shooting Mr. Stacey before a week bad passed. The
gun which was fired has not yet been found. On Friday
it was discovered that another attempt had been made to
set fire to the schoolhouse. As it is built of bricks one of
the doors and the Boor were the only portions of the
building which were injured. Yesterday a large number
of persona again assembled in the church, expecting •
repetition of the disgraceful proceedings which had
occurred on the previous Sunday. Hundreds of persons
walked from Bridgwater and other places in the neigh-
' bourhood, and vehicles came in with persons from
Tilantoll, Langford, Yeovil, hlurtock, and Bristol. The
church was crowded, but the service was frequently
interrupted by stamping, loud talking, !cc. Only
one person partook of the sacrament, and when Mr.
Hunt drank up the wine which remained in the chalice a
number of uncomplimentary remarks were made, such as
" He'll get drunk," Don't be greedy," " Give us • drop,"
&c., but they were mostly made in an undertone. Mr.
Hunt wore an alb, cope, ch,suble, and biretta, during
various parts of the service. Mr. Hunt chose for illustra-
tion and comment the subject of " Future Punishment,"
upholding its eternity, and depicting the position of the
lost. He prefaced his remarks by referring to the late dis-
turbances at Northmoor-green, which, be said, had so
impressed his mind that he bad been compelled
to prepare and deliver this discourse. He then
pointed his hearers (many of whom kept stamp-
ing with their feet on the floor) to the abode of the lost,
and bade them consider their position. Like his hearers,
they bad once enjoyed the means of grace, and the minis-
trations of the sanctuary, but now their surrounding. were
altogether changed—their position, associations, and com-
panionships were all different ; and there was no release
for a soul once cast into that dismal abyss. In support of
the eternity of this punishment be appealed to the reason
of mankind ; and then quoted and explained the words
" Every soul shall be salted with fire." He referred to the
preserving nature of salt, and said that the fire of hell,
while it permeated every portion of the frame, should pre.
serve rather than destroy it, and render it harder and
more enduring, fitting it for the eternity of wrath that
awaits it. The arguments on the opposite sure were dealt
with, and the audience were directed to the way of
escape ; and now was " the day of salvation." The in-
terior of ithe building now presents a very lively appear-
ance, as illuminated texts have been placed about in
all directions ; and coloured pictures of the cruci-
fixion Sc., similar to those found in ratholio churches,
have been placed on the walla. The east end has also been
elaborately decorated. The choir has disappeared, and
there were not half a dozen persons in the church who ap-
peared to take the slightest interest in the service. The
kneeling stools were frequently kicked about, and when-
ever Mr. Hunt or his server bowed or crossed himself a
shout or loud clapping generally followed. The rev. gentle-
man gave orders when the congregation was to sit, kneel,
or stand, but whenever the signal was given for the latter
a large number at once mounted the seats, and a scene of
great confusion as well as much noise followed, notwith-
standing the presence of four plicemen. Superintendent
Jeffs and a sergeant of police were outside the church
most of the morning. The former took a large number of
shots from one of the doors of the room in which the
window was broken.

FIRE AT KENTISH-TORR.—Yesterday Captain
Shaw reported to the Board of Works that from Saturday
to yesterday no fewer than eight fires had been attended
by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The most extensive
happened in the promises of Messrs. }lsbell and Sons,
pianoforte makers, 45, Rochester-Toed, Kentish-town. The
discovery was made by a police constable n tiring a lurid
glare in the factory, a building 60 feet long, and sur-
rounded by other buildings. The officer at once sounded
an alarm and sent off for proper amistance. The fire,
however, could not be extinguished until the factory of
two floors was burned down, and the workshops over the
stables, with the contents of yard, were severely damaged
by fire. The origin of the ire is unknown. The loss will
fall upon the Royal and Phoenix Fire offices.
