weather, though somewhat threatening in the morning,
cleared up before the sport commenced, and a vary plea-
sant afternoon wee the result. The racing, as will be seen
by the returns, was of an interesting character. Among
the features of the day was the double success of Knight
of the Garter, especially his victory over Hippia, upon
whom odds were freely laid, and who, it will be remem-
bered, displayed such good form in the spring of the year
that she was considered to be no unworthy antagonist of
the clipping Achievement. The defeat of Star of India was
another noteworthy event, and his slovenly exhibition gave
a death blow to the hopes of those who have backed him
for next year's Derby. The fortunate Lord Westmoreland
pulled off a good thing by the aid of Icicle, who achieved a
bloodless victory in a field of twenty-two runners,
and the result sent the backers of Kenyon's mounts into
the seventh heaven of delight for the remainder of the day.

REFORM MEETING AT BRIGHTON. —Last night
a meeting was held in the Riding-school of the Pavilion at
Brighton to inaugurate the Brighton Reform League, now
connected with the National Reform League. The associa-
tion has sprung from, and has been entirely organised by
the working class, hut on Tuesday night last the com-
mittee called a preliminary meeting, which was attet I led
Ly a large number of the leading liberals of the town, and
an understanding was then arrived at that the league
should have the support of the liberals of the borough as a
body. The Pavilion Riding-school, where the meeting of
last night was held, is the largest available room in the
town and will hold several thousand people. It has
lately been fitted up as a temporary circus, and this
disposition enabled a section of the accommoda-
tion afforded to be set apart for ladies, who
acknowledged the consideration shown them by
attending in tolerably large number. The chair was
taken by Mr. W. Coningham, late member for Brighton,
who has accepted the presidency of the league. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted :-1. " That the present
parliamentary system being partial, expensive, and corrupt,
is not consistent with the intelligence and moral diguity
of the English nation, and as the great masses of tY e
registered
forden
residential
oetegtvicv e class
franchise, ar have
othrs:ge tteetsbexaselves n
manhood suffrage, accompanied with the protection of the
ballot, will form a satisfactory basin for any future r form
in our parliamentary system." 2. " That Edmond Beales,
Esq., the president of the Reform League, with the coun-
cil and the executive committee, are entitled to the
gratitude, the confidence and support of the great body of
English people for their calm, intelligent, and undaunted
conduct displayed in connection with the reform
demonstrations in the metropolis ; and this meet-
ing hereby tenders ita warmest thanks and
unfailing support." 3. "That this meeting tenders its
warmest and most grateful thanks to the Right Hon.
William Ewart Gladstone, John Bright, Eaq., J. S. Mill,
Esq.' James White, Esq., Professor Fawcett, and all the
friends of reform who throughout the late discussions in
parliament vindicated the character and protected the
rights of the people ; and further expresses confidence in
the honesty and ability of Mr. John Bright to champion
the people's cause in parliament during the coming par-
liamentary struggle." Mr. Edmond BP.les, Lieut.-Colonel
Dickson, and Mr. George Howell attended as a deputation
from the London Reform League, and spoke during the
proceedings. The attendance was large and influential.

NEW HELMETS FOR THE FIRE BRIGADE.—EarIy
in the ensuing month the members of the Metropolitan
Fire Brigade, now numbering with its officers and engi-
neers 2:30 men, will be furnished with new brass helmets,
precisely similar to those at present worn by the Sappeurs
Pompiers in Paris. They are slightly heavier than the old
leather helmets, but are better suited for resisting
heat. The new helmet is very plain ; the initials of the
Metropolitan Fire Brigade are in the front over the peak,
and there is a chain chin strap. The helmet for the chief
of the brigade is of silver, but in design is the same as the
others.

THE SOLTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE.-
BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 27.—The preliminary meeting of the
ironniaaters of South Staffordshire and Shropshire was held
at the Hen and Chickens Hotel, in this town, today; Mr.
John Hartley in the chair. After a brief discussion a re-
solution was unanimously passed that the old scale of prices
be reconfirmed—that is, St. 20a. per ton for ban., and all
other descriptions of manufactured iron in proportion.
The "strike" in the north was referred to, and entire sym-
pathy expressed for the northern masters, but it was not
considered desirable to take action here in any way relating
to it.

CHANGE OP EMBEZZLEMENT.

At the Mansion-house, yesterday, two genteel-
looking young men, named Joseph Richard Anderson 20, who
was lately clerk and oollectorin theestablishment of Messrs.
Henderson, Constable, and Liddell, wholesale grocers,
carrying on business in Cannon-street, and Maurice Henry
Goodman, clerk in a mercantile establishment in the City,
were brought before Alderman FilllllB, who presided in
the absence of the Lord Mayor, in custody of Henry
Webb, the City detective officer, charged, the former with
embezzling various sums of money amounting to 2001., the
property of his employers, and the latter with receiving
80/., a portion of the amount, well knowing it to have been
stolen.

Mr. Marsh, manufacturer, in the Haokney.road, stated
that he dealt with Messrs. Henderson and Co., and on the
15th of September some person, whom he could not re-
cognise as the prisoner Anderson, called upon him for an
account that was owing to them, and he paid that person
1181. 19e. A portion of it oonaiated of two cheques-one
for 451. 75., and the other for 81. 15e., and the remainder
in bank notes and gold and silver. He produced a receipt
which was proved to be in the handwriting of the prisoner.
____ - - - •

A clerk from the establiehment of Meson. Henderson
and Co. proved that Anderson was employed as clerk and
collector to the firm, and it was part of his duty to go
round to the customers every Saturday and collect money,
and in due course he should have placed all the amounts
so received in a book, and paid over the money to witness
on his return. On Saturday, the 15th September, the
prisoner handed over to him certain sums that he bad re-
ceived during the day, but he did not account for the
1181. 19s. he had received from Mr. Marsh. The prisoner
abecocded from his employment on the same day, and he
did not see him again until he was in custody.

Mr. Liddell, one of the prosecuton, stated that the pri-
soner had never accounted to him for the money he te-
calved from Mr. Marsh, and he did not make his appear-
ance at the warehouse on Monday morning, but in the
course of the day he received a letter from hint, and another
on the following day.

The letters referred to were put in and read by the
clerk. The first was to the effect that the prisoner had
caught a fresh cold, and he was afraid that he should not
be able to come to business for two or three days. In the
second the prisoner admitted that he had made use of a
large sum of money than he had received on account of
the firm, and stated that he bad gone to Paris, where he
intended to establish himself in business with the money.
The letter then went on to ask the forgiveness of the wit-
ness for his misconduct, and requested him to go
and see his father, who would do all he could to
make things right, and the prisoner also promised in
the letter to refund the money he had taken the very
first moment he was able to do so. The letter likewise
contained the two cheques that had been paid to the
prisoner by Mr. Marsh, and which, being crossed, he was
unable to make any use of. The second lottor purported
to be dated from Paris, but it bore the London post mark,
and on it were the words " to be forwarded," so as to make
it appear that it had been sent from Paris by some other
channel than the post, and that it hadbeen then posted.
In answer to a question then put by Alderman Finn*
Mr. Liddell said that at present he was only prepared
with evidence relating to the receipt of the 1181. 191 s.
from Mr. Marsh, but on a future day he should be pre-
pared with several other cases of embezzlement against the
prisoner Anderson.
• •

Henry Webb, the detective officer, was then examined.
He said that a warrant issued by this court had been
placed in his bands for the apprehension of the prisoner
Anderson, and in consequence of information he received
he went to Birmingham in search of him, and found him
in a lodging in a private house. When he inquired for
him by the name of Anderson, the landlady said she did
not know such a person, but that a young gentleman
named Frank Melton had lodged with her for a short time.
Witness showed her the prisoner's photograph, and she
immediately recognised him as the same person, and said
that he was in bed upstairs. He proceeded to the
room that was pointed out to him, and there found
the prisoner in bed, and he read the warrant to
him, and told him what he was charged with. The
prisoner replied, " It is all right," and he added, " I am
guilty." Witness then asked hint what he had done
with the money, and the prisoner produced his purse,
which he found to contain 61. Cn. tid. in gold and silver.
The prisoner then said there were fifteen sovereigns
in a box, and be opened the box and found that amount,
and also a quantity of articles of wearing apparel, quite
new, a gold watch, chain, rings, &c. He came from Bir-
mingham with the prisoner yesterday, and while they were
on their journey the prisoner said he wished to make all
the reparation in his power to his employers for what he
had done, and he said that a statement that he bad pre-
viouslj, made to him that he had been robbed of 15
sovereigns in London on the Saturday night before he went
away was false. The prisoner then told him that he had
deposited 80/. in Birmingham bank notes with a young
gentleman named Goodman, to take care of for him, and that
if witness went to bun be could get the money. The
prisoner then said that he had spent 401. of the money
himself, and he would give the prosecutors an account
how it had been expended. On Monday evening witness
hed scan Geodnian (the ether prisoner), and told him that
Ar deiton bad reu away and had robbed his employers of
2001., and as he knew that he was his constant com-
panion, he wished him to tell him if ho knew
anything about him, and he replied that he did not know
anything about his proceedings. After he had taken the
prisoner Anderson to the police-station, on Wednesday,
he saw Goodman again, and asked him if he had heard
anything fresh about Anderson, and he said all he had
heard was that ho (Webb) had taken him into custody.
Witness then told Goodman that Anderson had said that
he was to come to him for 80/. in Birmingham bank notes,
which he had deposited with him, and which were the
produce of the robbery. The prisoner Goodman then said,
He did give Die 801. in bank notes to take care of for him,
and I burned them on Monday night, but I have got
the numbers of them," and he handed to witness a
card upon which certain numbers were written. He then
told the prisoner he was sorry he did not tell him what
he had now stated on Monday, when he saw him, and be
replied that he was very sorry—he had only done it to
save Anderson, and he thought he should only get into
trouble if he kept the notes in his possession.
The prisoner Anderson inquired of the officer whether
be did not tell him that he had placed the notes in the
charge of Goodman before he had informed him that be
had ascertained that he had obtained bank notes in
change for gold at Birmingham ?
Webb replied that he believed the information was given
afterwards, but ho would not speak positively to the fact.
An application having been made for a remand, a pro-
feesional gentleman, who attended on behalf of Goodman,
now asked the alderman whether he thought there was any
evidence against him?
Alderman Finnic said be did not think, tinder the eirctim-
stances,he should be justified in discharging him at present,
at all events.
Anderson asked if he might be permitted to say some.
thing in favour of his fellow prisoner?
Alderman Finnic said he should advise him not to say
anything at present.
Both prisoners were then remanded until Saturday.

FATAL EXPLOSION OP PARAFFIN.—An important
investigation was held on Wednesday night by Mr. S. F.
Leugham, in the board-room of the Charing-cross
Hospital, relative to the death of Mrs. Ellen Nutt,
47 years of age, wife of a music printer, who lost her
life by the explosion of • paraffin lamp. John Nutt,
a son of the deceased, said I live at 28 Tower-street,
Seven-dials. Between nine and ten o'clock on Sa-
turday night last I was at home with my mother.
There was • paraffin lamp on the mantel-shelf. The
lamp did not burn properly when she blew into it and it
burst. The oil ignited and the Haines caught my
mother's cotton jacket and set her on fire immediately. I
dragged her on the floor and tried to put the flames out. I
threw a pail of water over her. She told me to run for a
doctor, and on my return she was in a cab at the door
to be taken to the hospital. We always bought the
paraffin in Hayes's-court. We had used the lamp for
two years, and never had an explosion before, The
cotton was not low down in the oil. The light went
into the glass containing the oil. Robert Nutt said—l
was in the room with my mother when this accident
occurred. As she removed the lamp from the mantel-
shelf is went " pop, pop." She said, " There will be
some accident with this lamp some of these days."
She sent for more cotton. She blew the light out. I
then heard a ecream, and then saw my mother in a
blase. My brother was in the room and pulled her down,
and I wrapped the carpet round her. Two gentlemen
came upstairs, and by their advice my mother was con-
veyed to the hospital. By the request of the coroner
some of the paraffin oil was produced, as also the shattered
lamp. The oil was of a reddish colour. George Green,
of Hayes's-court, Newport-market, said— I keep •
shop for the sale of paraffin oil and lamps. This
smells like mine ; I think it is. I have no doubt of
it. The oil is not explosive. I do not think there would
have been an explosion if the cotton had reached
the oil, and if the cotton was not wide enough a draught
would be produced which would be dangerous. I had a
barrel of oil in last Saturday week, and I have sold from it
ten or fifteen gallons. It had the same appearance as that
which I had previously sold. At the request of the jury,
some of the oil was placed in a plate, and a flame com-
municated, the result being an ignition of the paraffin, but
no explosion. The jury, after a short deliberation, re-
turned a verdict—" That the deceased died from injuries
received by being accidentally burnt throbgb the bursting
of a paraffin lamp, which was occasioned either by blowing
down the chimney of the said lamp or from its being im-
properly trimmed."
