DEATH OF MR. J. A. TUNNEL—We regret to
have to announce the death of Mr. James Aspinall Turner,
which took place on Saturday, in London. The deceased
gentleman was born at Bolton, in 1797, and was conse-
quently in his 71st year. He was well known as a
cotton manufacturer and merchant in this city, and as
the chairman of the Manchester Commercial Associa-
tion, before he took any active part in politics. In the
miring of 1857, when the adverse vote of the House of
Commons upon the Chinese question induced Lord Pgl-
uierston to dissolve Parliament and speed to the country,
Mr. Turner was brought out, with Sir John Potter, as a
suppotter of Lord Palmerston's policy, in opposition to
Mr. Milner Gibson and Mr. John Bright. After • pro-
tracted and well-oonteeted struggle, Mr. Turner
was returned second on the poll, by majorities of
2,266 over Mr. Gibson, and 2,396 over Mr. Bright Again,
at the general election in 1859, Mr. Turner was returned
as the colleague of Mr. T. Bailey, the defeated candidates
being Mr. Abel Heywood and the Hon. Captain Denman.
At the general election in 1865, Mr. Turner did not come
forward again as • candidate, and since that period he has
not taken any active interest in politics.—Mancaes to
Guardian.

Tea New ACT TOR 211ANTERS AND SERVANTS.
At the Staines petty sessions, held before Sir. J. Gibbons,
General Wood, Major Read, and Mr. W. A. Mitchinson,
hickett, a labourer, was charged, under the new
George
acttr masters and servants, which has just some into
operation, with unlawfully failing to carry through his
contract to do certain labour for Mr. Gomm, a farmer and
baker, of Bedfont. The prosecutor said he agreed with the
prisoner to twice hoe a quantity of turnips, and on the 16th
Just he completed the first hoeing. About 3 o'clock on the
same day, as he was passing with his bread cart, be saw
pi 'sonar wandering about with his clothes on, making a
chop here and there, about 15 or 20 yards apart. On the
following morning, seeing be was doing the same thing, he
went into the field, when the prisoner came up and said,
" I'm glad you are come, as I've nearly completed the
work." Prosecutor said, " I see you have the first time ;
bat you must now go over it again properly, according to
agreement." He refused *o go on further with the work,
and at once lest the field. Defendant said there waa
nothing ment'oeed about hoeing twice. He simply agreed
to do the work properly, and maintained that he had done
that. The bench inflicted a fine of 2,. 6d. for compensation,
and directed payment of the costa, 9a. 6d., or, in default,
14 days' imprisonment.

ATTACK ON A CONSTABLE BY SOLDIERS WITH
THEIR BiLTS.-4bout 20 minutes past 12 on Saturday
night, or rather on Sunday morning, a °mutable named
John French, 569 A, on duty at the Marble-arch, was
most brutallT attacked by three soldiers. It appears that
French had jun closed the gate at the arch when tbe sol-
diers walked up and demanded that the gate should be
opened. French refused to open the gate, upon
sohtch one of the soldiers got over the gate, and
called to his companions to follow his example. This
they did, and they then all three commenced a moat fu-
rious attack on the constable, striking him about the head
and face with their belts, inflicting most severe wounds.
Another constable coming up and seeing French on the
ground, and the soldiers beating him, rushed up and struck
one of e solders with his truncheon. The soldiers then
made off, and the constable followed one of them some
distance, but being called bitch by French to assist him
they succeeded in escaping for the present. French was
taken to the Si. George's Hospital, where he remains in •
dangerous state.
QUEEETT MICROSCOPICAL CLUB. The monthly
meeting was bead at Unive.sity College on Friday evening,
Mr. A. E. Durham, proaklent, in the chair. Mr. Slade
read a paper "On Snails' Teeth," in which he described
those organs. of molluscs known as the tongue or paste,
aonsigang o a long and narrow membrane, on which are
arranged, in serious patterns, succemive series of strong
recurred teeth, by the rasping action of which the animal
is enabled to obtain its food. By this means the omni-
vorous molluscs bite enough the shells of the animals on
which they prey. The number, arrangement, and shape
of these teeth afford to na andists a means of deter-
mining species. Dr. Maddox exhibited • collection of
beautifully executed micro-photographs of deep-sea sound-
ings, many of the objects being magnified three thousand
times.

egoAAI. Crrr.—Tbe aggregate number of patients relieved
daring the week ending Sept. 28 wadi—Media!, 919; sur.
Coal, 681 ; total. 1.000; of which 730 were new mess.
A paragraph in Saturday's Eapreas mentioned
the death of a fireman on board the United States war
steamer Shamrock, and that the coroner declined to give a
certificate for burial unless an inquest was held. It should
have been that the registrar declined to give the certificate
without the consent of the coroner. As soon se the
coroner knew from the statement of the attending flatiron
that an inquest was unnecessary. he gave the requisite
authority to the registrar, sod the man was Mined in
the Southampton cemetery on Saturday afternoon.
