THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.

Sac,—ln consequence of the repeated denials of
the Editor of the Levant Herald that the news
of the alleged release of the Abyssinian prisoners,
in the form in which it was communicated to the
English press, originated with his paper, I again
telegraphed inquiries to my Constantinople agent,
and I have received this morning the following ex-
plicit reply :
" Constantinople, Sept. 12.
" Only source information respecting liberation
Abyssinian captives obtained from Levant Herald's
publication third ; contradicted fifth."
What appeared in the European edition of the
Levant Herald of the 4th does not concern my
agent, who has twice telegraphed that the im-
pression of the 3rd was his authority. I have
telegraphed to Constantinople for a copy of the
3rd instant, which I hope to receive by the next
mail, when I will immediately submit it to your in-
spection. In the meantime I send you the follow-
ing translation of a paragraph in the Constanti-
nople newspaper La Turquie of the 4th, most
likely reproduced from the Levant Herald of the
previous day, as it is the same version that my cor-
respondent telegraphed.
"We learn that the mission of Bishop Isaac, who
was sent about four months ago to Abyssinia by M.
Isaiah, the Armenian Patriarch of Serfisalem, to in-
intercede in favour of the English prisoners has
been crowned with aucoeas,and that KingThe:odore
has set at liberty thd prisoners in question. This
news is said to have been transmitted recently -by
telegraph to the English embassy, which com-
municated it the same evening to the Armenian
Patriarch."

I shall not trouble yon further in the affair until
I get the Levant Herald of the 3rd. inst. —I

ACOLIMATItiATION SOCIETY.—A few days ago a
special invitation was given by Miss Burdett Coutta to
some of the members of the council of this society to a
dej tuner at her beautiful seat Holly Lodge, near Highgate,
for the purpose of presenting them with the " die" for the
medal which she some time since announced her intention
of giving. The Rev. Cyril Page, and Messrs. H. J. Bur-
ford, Hancock, and Bush, and B. Waterhouse Hawkins,
with the secretary, attended accordingly, with Mr. G. G.
Adams, of Sloane-street, who had designed and manufac-
tured the die. It is a beautiful work of art, and reflects
the highest credit on the artist, whether considered in re-
gard to the elaborate nature of its finish or the appropriate-
ness of the design. The presentation of the die to the
society by Miss Coutta shows the deep interest she takes in
the objects for which it was formed, and which, we hope,
are becoming more and more generally known end appre-
ciated. There are, we believe, oue or two persons to whom
it is the intention of the council to present a medal, for
I their zeal in forwarding the objects of the society, and we
trust that this will give an additional impetus to those
who are already interesting themselves in its behalf.

MR. CHACPURD. M.P.. AND HIS CON-
STITUENT&

The member for the Western Burghs addressed
meeting of his constituents at Inverary on Tuesday. Mr.
Cranford began by saying that when he last addressed his
fiends in this place he little thought that, before another
year came round, the country should witness the strange
'Acted' of • tory government passing a more radical
measure of reform than any hitherto dreamt of in all oar
whig philosophy. That the tones, whose uniform policy—
when they had a principle and a policy—was to oppose the
wishes and the demands of the people with regard to re-
form—that these very men should rately accept and
tarry through • real reform scheme based on popular prin-
ciples was the last thing any of us would have looked
for. But so it has turned out. "And yet," continued
the honourable gentleman, " if you look at the matter
a little more closely—though certainly it is always easier
to do so after the fact it will be seen that the re-
sult in not so very wonderful after all. For several years
the tide of opinion has been steadily moving in the direc-
tion of a comprehensive scheme of parliamentary repre-
sentation, and when the very moderate proposal of the
late government was rejected, on the ground of its being
too great a coloration, a very few months served to show
their successors in office that our fellow-subjects were de-
termined to obtain • share in the representation of the
country and that nothing would satisfy the people but •
thorowelth measure of reform. And certainly Mr. Disraeli
sho a proper knowledge of the feeling of the country.
I will say nothing of political principle, for really, after
what has come sad gone, it is difficult to say what name
to apply to the present occupants of °Mee. It was quite
clear that, :tither than give up the sweets of office after
tasting them once mom the t of Lord D•rby,
was prepared to istrallow
(Laughter.) the wiits n ve thought
=i such a niessufe as Mr. Disraeli bought forward. ,
t the manna of bringing in the various drejt
schemes—hedging them in with numerous checks, to be
afterwards conveniently dropped one after another—this
did math for its chances of • favourable reception at the
outset. A good deal also was made of its apparently
dealing in a lasting manner with the subject of the fran-
chise. The money-test was felt to be far from satisfactory;
• " hard and fast line " did not deal f,irly with different
localities ; for what might suit Glasgow would not suit
Inverary or Oben. (Hear, hear.) The question, therefore,
came to be, Is it not poorible to settle the franchise
on • broad and durable basis? I seff. it was • wise
policy that seized upon household suffrage as such'
a bags. (Applause.) It is new a ;nod many yaps
sines I ventured to affirm in your, hedging that nothing
short of household suffrage would give • sure and sadsfsc-
sary settlement of the question. For what, It may be
asked, is the object of representation! It if not to give •
true refer of the opinions and. feelings of the whole
nation? Some will tell you yet that It is ohly the intelli-
fnmof the nation that should bib seprestatald, not the.
eeasfaseured sod less educated claws, But I think the
true repremvatative system of • nation is, when all daises
arc represented, the ignorance and prejudiced of one sec-
tion as well as the learning and prejudices of another sec-
tion. (Cheers, and • laugh.) The best government and
the best representation is to fulfil, as far as possible, the
desires and the wants of all daises of the community. In
conatiestional government all should bays a *F. though.
of course, it does not follow that should have their
way. (Hear, hear.) I do not helloes that the tones
had those sentiments when they introduced their bilL
Far other considerations moved them to action.

They argued with themselves, If we don't do something,
we'll be oat of office very soon.' " Mk..Cranfund then gave
• humorous description of the plat/ Mlle', rather no-
polio}, of the tories, and remarked on the mischief done to
• great party abandoning all its recognised doctrines, not
from honest conviction. but frinlimerely selfish ends.
'lke conduct of the leaders on the reform question had,
he .said, given • great blow to the confidence hitherto
reposed in public men. But whad =flag this much, be
was not there to find fault with the • reform obtained ; it
MIA great thing to hays got )he measure we have ; and
when Scotland m put on the same footinghl the other
parts of the kingdom, the people will havens, reason to
complain. So far as he could gather, the western
constituency would be doubled, and he would be very
'glad if it should have the effect of making the
great body of the people take an active intent making
em
national affairs. (Cheers.) With regard to'
scheme of reform for Scotland, he and—" Theme Cpb°4l"d

a good deal of talk, and no little ado mad** the news-
paper., as if the Scotch members had allowed. themselves
to be humbugged by the government on the ascend read-
ing of that bill ; but this is all • mistake. The Scotch
members were not caught napping. We have a plan—we
Scotch members—which Le foaled very coneenient, and
saves a groat deal of time to the boom, a plan which is
ranch admired by the English members, of holding a
sort of little parliament of our own, and of discussing and
arranging a considerable amount of Scotch business previo
ous to its being brought before the house. Well, after the
Scotch measure was introduced we met often and con-
sidered carefully its various proposals. We saw clearly
that it could not be accepted ; that in the redistribution
part it was nothing but an attempt to transfer ten seats
from the liberal to the tory side, and that there was no
distinct and definite provision for obtaining the proposed
additional members for Scotland. We sent a deputation
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stating our objec-
tions, and that we must have some pledge on the subject
of the additional seats. He agreed to give the second
reading, and thereby pledge the house—so far era it could
be pledged—to the principle involved. The difficulty was,
where were the additional seats to be got from? We
were aware that a considerable number were opposed to an
increase of the house, and we therefore thought it best ho
have the second reading without any discussion, so as to
avoid bringing out any opposition on that score. But we
have got what we wanted. We were not silent, therefore,
without a purpose, nor without gaining our object.
Early next session we shall speak, and strike, too, until
we get justice to Scotland. (Applause.) There can be no
election made under the new franchise acts till the
spring of 1869. The English registers will not be made
up till January of that year; so Mr. Disraeli has
secured till then the chance of holding aloe. And it
is right that they should have a chance. I dou't grumble.
Let them, by all mean., so long as they are tractable, and
so long as things are decently conducted, let them enjoy
their luck." After remarking that the reform disocuseions
had stopped the way against almost everything else, Mr.
Crsufurd went on to speak of the few measures affecting
Scotland that had been passed. or that were before the
house, and then alluded to the prospect of a general sys-
tem of education for Scotland being got soon—one that
would meet the no:cosinee of the country and keep pain
with the advancements of the times. Quoting Earl Rua-
sell's programme given in his reply to the invitation to
attend the Crystal Palace demonstration, where his
lordship so kindly cuts out the work for his successful
rivals to do, the hon. gentleman questioned the good
taste of one who had opposed the abolition of church
rates, and any alteration of the system of education in
Ireland, now coming forward and urging upon his oppo-
nents • contrary policy. It was, he said, to be regretted
that • statesman who bad been so long identified with
reform should show any hesitancy about the measure. just
carried ; but it was more pitiable still to find him giving
way to splenetic thrusts at those who were merely the in-
struments of the national will in carrying out all 1100311-
wry improvements. Mr. Cmufard concluded by stating
his willingness to give soy further explanations that
might be desirable, and by thanking the meeting for their
attention

No questions being proposed, a vote of eonfidenoe was
un►nimously adopted. The meeting thereafter separated
with the usual eeniplimanit to the *badman.

AarriQusazaw DUSCOTERY.—An interesting die-
oovery of • number of Roman funeral urns has been
made at King's Newton, on the line of new railway now
in mint of construction to connect Derby with Ashby.
On Saturday last, Dr. Massey, of Melbourne, acoom-
panied by a scientific friend, who bad had some ex-
perience in the exhumation of Roman and Celtic re-
mains proceeded to the line, and commencing • search
some few hundred yards north-west of the place where
the Castle Donington turnpike road cranes the line of
rail, their efforts ware crowned with success beyond the
most sanguine expectations. They opened • large area of
ground immediately contiguous to the orchard of Mr. J,
Earp, and there, on the left bank of the rail facing north-
west (at from two to three feet from the surface), they
discovered about thirty funeral urns, whichwere deposited
by threes and by fives on their bases, not inverted, as was
the mode of burial with the Celtic tribes after the crema-
tion, but nothing was found except the urns ; neither coin,
weapon, nor ornament. The contents of • number, un-
avoidably broken during the proems, were human bones,
which bad been submitted to the action of fire and ashes.
The urns or vases were in every instance filled up with soil,
not a trace being left of the usual covering adopted by the
Romans, namely, the skin of some animal secured round
the mouth of the vessel by a tendon, probably of the same
animal ; and they were all made from the same
dark red clay which is now in use in the
neighbouring pottery, their insides being quite
black. Some are of very rude shape, without any mark
whatever on the outside of them, others having the true
Etruscan form so dear to lovers of the classic. In one
instance only they found that true type of the Roman
mode of interment for a distinguished person, the urn
placed within an urn, and this, the most beautiful classical
shape of the whole number, was, to the great regret of
love. a of antiquity, broken nearly all to pieces, the
two urns being only held together by the damp soil closely
adhering to the large piece of sandstone upon which it
was n to remove them. This beautiful specimen,
as well as other, is now at Dr. Massey's residence at Mel-
nourne, and it is to be photographed.

THE LATE FATAL STEAMBOAT COLLISION ON
THE HIVE&
Another inquiry relating to the recent fearful
collision between the Matte, Gravesend steamer, and the
Wentworth, screw collier, on the river, in Barking Reach,
was opened yesterday at the Chequers Inn, Dagenham-
road, near Rainham before Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner
for Rama, on view of the body of Edward Cbeeeeman, aged
25, who was at the wheel of the Yetis when the vessel/
came in contact, and swept overboard.
Mr. Fry, the solicitor to the Woolwich Steamboat Com-
pany, attended to watch the proceedings for the owners of
the Yetis.

Yee. Cheesemen„ the father of the deceased, having
identified the remains of his son,
William Lavish, the mate of the Meth, was called,
and gave some 110 W and important testimony relative to
the unfortunate catastrophe. He stated that the Metis
left Gravesend at half-past five o'clock on the evening of
Friday, with about 50 passengers on board. The steamer
proceeded safely up to Tripcock's reach, below Wonwich.
She was on the south side, the deceased being
at the wheel. The tide was about a quarter of an
hour's ebb. At a quarter to seven he saw the Wentworth,
screw collier, coming down with a port helm. The Meta
was then between riu and 70 yards from the south shore.
The latter was starboarding, and he saw the captain wave
his hand to the man at the wheel to starboard. He
shouted to the snow collier to starboard their helm. The
collier took no notice of the calling, and her
helm was kept hard a-port. The captain of the
Retie than directed the boat to be need, and
the next moment he gave the order for her to go on,
and the Wentworth then streak the starbesed quarter of

Thomas Young, a lad on board the Yetis, gave similar
testimony as to Oho Attie .gelng sloes up on the south
there, and the collier coming down on the same shore with
a port helm and running into the Neils. There was not
room for the collier to have primed, and she should have

could not swim, had hold of a plank, which kept him
afloat, and on the witness going towards it he attempted
to grapple with him. On this the witness swam away to-
wards a buoy, leaving Lieutenant Kensington with the
plank. At this time the deceased was estimating for the
buoy, pushing a plank before him, and knowing he could
swim well witness thought little about him. as he was
more anxious for the safety of Lieutenant Kensington.

Sir A. W. Mackworth had stated. Tire coroner having
briefly summed up the evidence, the jury returned • ver-
dict of " Accidental death from the upsetting of a yacht."
TRAGICAL DEATH NEAR SNOWDON.—A gentle-
man, 32 years of age, named Jones of Carnarvon, hired
a car on Tuesday, the 3rd inst., at Carnarvoo, and drove
towards Llenberis, a village at the foot of Snowdon. Having
turned to an inn and partaken of some refreshment, he de-
clined the eminence of a friend, and started, it being then
very dark, towards Shop y Chwarel, where a young lady to
whom he was shortly to be married resides. The night
was very stormy, lightning and thunder, succeeded by heavy
rain, prevailing. In reaching Shop y Chwsrel be had to
pas shove the Chwarel (quarry) itself, and in all proba-
bility he fell in. His body was not found for six days.
Last Monday as some working were passing, they found a
corpse, which was at once recognised as that of Dr. Jones,
who was miming. It was greatly bruised and distorted
and there is no doubt that be had fallen over the cliffs rued
rolled into the quarry. From the position he held in Car-
name and neighbourhood, great sorrow is displayed at
the occurrence. An inquest has been held on the body,
and the jury returned a verrlict " Accidental death."
Tag liosrmrrion or MINES. —The coroner's in-
quiry into the death of the fourteen colliers killed on the
20th of August at Messrs. Brimelow and Co.'s, Ganwocd
Park Colliery, was resumed on Thursday, at Haplock,
near St. Helen's. The government inspector, Mr. P.
Ripon, was present. Mr. C. F. Clarke, agent to Sir Robert
Tolver Gerard, the lessor of the colliery, described the state
is which he found the workings immediately after the acci-
dent, and expressed au opinion coinciding with that of
previous witnesses, that the gas had been fired in the place
occupied by one of the deceased I Winstanley), and that the
accident was calmed by the blowing out of a shot which
had been rammed in. He spoke in decisive terms of the
general state of the ventilet on and the mode of working,
and attributed the accident to a temporary derangement
of the ventilation. In reply to Mr. /linen, he said that
he should be perfectly 'envied to continue working under
the present system, although there had been two explosions
at the pit, for he considered the meet dangerous part of
the work was over. He thought the discipline of the mine
might be improved. Mr. Mignon concurred in Mr. Clarke's

did not think be should be justified in finding fault with
the working of the mine generally, except in so far as re-
ferred to these deaths. The syt.tem purrued was quite equal
to that followed in other mines. All he had to suggest
was that the number of doors should be reduced
so as to increase the quautity of air, and to
improve if possible the discipline of the officers and
workpeople by content and repeated instructions. In
reply to a question by Mr.O. Pickard, miners' agent, Mr.
Berson said that even if be had inopectv d that place on
the morning of the explosion, the accident might have
occurred, and that, he thought, was one reason why

inspections were not made more systematicslly. Who
would take the responsibility of a thing when any
workman might cause such a catastrophe ' He had no
doubt the government of the country bads great desire to
make these inspections regularly, but see what it incurred.
In this case, hail he been in the pit an hour before the
accident, the jury would have said he could not have
examined the place or done his duty, whereas all he
could have done would have been to suggest another
cut through. The coroner then atlMnstql up at great
length, pointing out that the evidence led to the con-
clusion that the fireman Topping bed done wrong in
firing the shut which had caused the explosion, but
still had he been alive, some other mode of accounting
for the casualty might possibly have been laid before
them, and he therefore recommended that an open
verdict be returned. This course the jury adopted
accordingly, coupled with the expression of the opinion
that, in the future working of the mine the bratticing
should not be carried go great a distance as in the ease
of this particular brow and workplace, and that every
precaution was called for in the appointment of firemen,
and in adopting all possible means of improving the dis-

Tax Malines Congress, in virtue of the elements
of which it consists, is an admission of the claims of
the laity to take part in ecclesiastical deliberations ;
and in this very fact it makes a vital concession
to those liberal and progressive principles which it
gathers its forces to oppose. While it denounces
modern civilization, it shows a healthy dis-
position to avail itself of the institutions and
instruments of freedom, and to grapple with the
problems of the day. To give what is rather
unscientifically called " scientific " precision to
the deliberations of the Congress, it was divided
into five sections, to which were entrusted the
more specific consideration of works of piety ; the
means of developing awl strengthening the Catholic
press and forming religious associations ; educa-
tion and Christian instruction; religious art;
social economy, and Christian charity. Neither
the sections nor the Congress at large seem to have
seen their way very clearly to any practical sug-
gestions. But to have opened these questions is
something. The Catholic journalists of Belgium
protested very strongly against the design of esta-
blishing and subsidizing an international Catholic
newspaper at Brussels, and they contended with
equal violence against the proposition that they
should allow their own newspapers to be written
by priests. " The subscriber," as one of theni
very wisely observed, " must be taken as he is ;"
and to gain subscribers the paper must be inte-
resting. On the other hand, the suggestion of
M. COFFIN, a journalist of Louvain, that a sub-

not meet with approval, in spite of his protesta-
tions that a measure of this sort was one of the
great necessities of the time, and that the
resources of charity could not be better employed.
The section on religious art does not seem to have
made much progress beyond the assertion of the
necessity of founding Christian schools of arts.
To be sure a new oratorio, on the theme of
the Last Judgment, was performed with great suc-
oeu before the Congress. The orthodoxy of the
libretto seems to be beyond question. But the
author disclaims and almost resents the im-
putation of being a Catholic writer. Art, he
says, takes its formulas where it finds them.
He only interpreted a religious tradition in
the same temper in which he would have
handled the incarnations of Vishnu. Did not the
pantheist GOETHE place the scene of the second
prologue of his Faust in heaven, and the Jew
MENDEL/130EN (who, by the way, was a Chris-
tian) compose the oratorio of Q. Paul This
first practical step to the formation of a Catholic
school of art does not seem to be brilliantly
auccessfuL Nevertheless, we are far from
ridiculing or disparaging the exertions of the Con-
gress. In esing the instruments of modern civili-
sation and culture, it will be impossible to avoid
acquiring something of the modern spirit, by which
alone they can be effectively wielded. Those who
employ them most dexterously in the interests
of the Ultramontane party have learned their
skill elsewhere. The Count/ MONTALEMBERT
and Fattorx, M. Daemon., the Belgian politician,
and Monsignor DECHAHP, the Belgian bishop, were
trained in the school of the Abb4 LAMENNAII3. The
early liberalism of Monsignor DUPANLOUP is not yet
forgotten. There may be inconsistency in sum-
moning laymen to assist in resolving problems
when theoretically the problems are already
solved by the Papal decisions to which it is the
mole business to submit. But the inconsistency is
a homage to the temper of the age, and marks the
unconscious working of liberal ideas among those
who moat strongly disavow and denounce them.
Even in the movements of reaction there is

Unlikely things often happen in our days, but seldom,
indeed, the Daily New says, is there so unlikely a thing as
the visit which it is reported the Shah of Persia is about to
make to the Car in his summer palace in the Crimea.
The Shah never travels unless accompanied by fifteen or
twenty thousand horse ; while the bare supposition that
be intended to pay the first visit to the Emperor of a
Christian country with which the Persians have fought so
many disastrous wars would utterly ruin his influence and
authority with his own subjects.
Though doubting the practical result of the discussions
of the Pan-Anglican Synod or the establishment of any
very definite principles, the Past thinks the sittings oan
hardly avoid drawing into a closer and more sympathetic
fraternity the scattered members of our church, and giving
an increase of mutual charity and co-operation.
The Standard advocates the grant of a charter to the
Roman catholic university and trusts that Mr. Maria is
once more going " to dish the whigs " by a concession of
the kind.

The Triroreph continues to enlarge on the hopeful

it is the wisest plan to strike strongly and strike soon.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The Saturday Review, in succesaivo articles, de-
nounces the extravagant military ertabliehmentsof Europe,
ridicules the friends of peace at Geneva, claims the Man-
chester trade outrages as an illustration of the trades'
union system, and praises the government for the Orange
prosecutions. The American presidency and the Malines
congress are also made topics for comment. In an article
on " French Magistrates and English Undergraduates,"
the Saturday &rine treats the late disgraceful conduct of
the Oxford undergraduates at Dinan as though the person
whose behaviour should excite the most surprise was the
magistrate.

The surprise of the Examiner has been excited by a pu-
rge in a recent charge of the Bishop of Carlisle, attribut-
ing the restricted influence possessed by the clergy to their
retiring disposition. If this generally exists in the diocese
of the bishop—inspired by the name if not by the example
of Dean Close—it contrasts greatly with the state of
things which almost universally prevails in our
more southern latitudes. With us the clergy (ex-
cept a certain body of good working pastors who,
as they will have their reward in heaven, ask
for little and get almost nothing upon earth)
hold their heads as high as they can get them, make
themselves heard on all occaeons, seek for power, and
display it when obtained. Nor are they altogether free
from the reproach, especially now that confession is re-
vived, of meddling in domestic concerns. This interference
is not only in spiritual but in secular matters ; in police,
as unpaid magistrates, with a hatred of sin in general,
and of the sin of poaching in particular; in the popular
elections, whether of member of p.a.:neat or of the bill-
sticker of a borough town. And in everything their aim
too frequently is to be, in the laagusge of the Catechism,
not only our spiritual pastors, but at bast co-extensively
our self-satisfied masters.

Mr. H. Dufton, of Streatham, who believes he
is the only Englishman who has traversed in all its length
the road from Msssowah direct to Debra-Tabor, King
Theodore'■ capital, and having done so so late as the year
186.3, desoribea the main features of that road and the
difficulties an army would have to encounter in a march
over it. Notwithstanding its advantages on the ground of
healthiness, abundance of water, kr., he does not think
the road a practicable one for the march of an army. The
whole distance, allowing for sinuoeities, is about 400 miles.
The ruggednem of the route makes the use of the camel
totally impossible ; and the narrowness of the path over a
greAter portion of it necessitates the army marching single
ale.

The Dublin Express reports an example of into-
lerance which illustrates one of the phases of the Irish
difficulty. A Roman catholic priest near Moats, in the
county of Westmeath, having accidentally ascertained that
• servant who formerly belonged to his communion had
been led to change her religions belief from reading • tract
given to her by Mrs. Wakefield, her mistress, wrote an in-
dignant letter which called forth a reply from Mr. Wake-
field. In consequence of this, the rev. gentleman assembled
the congregations of three neighbouring parishes last Sun-
day, and after enlarging upon the dangers of proselytism,
advised that none of his hearers should work for Mr.
Wakefield. The result was, that that gentleman was
left without hands to do his harvest work next morning.
Several other speakers at the meeting gave similar advice.
In the case of Augusta Mitchell a memorial

asking that be will endorse the same, and forward it to

MUEDISR AT MILAN.—An atrocious crime has
been perpetrated at Milan. Count Tulle d'Arragona, for-
merly vice-consul of Spain at Turin, hail decided on send-
ing away his coachman, one Masselli, thirty years of age,
and be appointed a time when the latter should give up
the keys of the stables and the property under his care to
his successor. Count Tulle was present at this pro-
ceeding, which took place in a proper and orderly
manner. At the end, Mszeelli, turning toward his
former master, presented the keys, saying " Here
is one, here another, and here the last," and at the
same moment stabbed the count in the abdomen with
such force that the entrails of the unfortunate gentleman
protruded, and the moment after the wounded man fell
dead. The act was so sudden that those present did not
at first perceive what had happened, and the murderer
was able to leave the courtyard, and made an attempt to
cut his throat. The porter of the house, thinking him in-
sane, laid forcible hold of him, put him in a cab, and had
him conveyed home. Marrelli wan shortly after arrested,
and it was found that lie had inflicted only a slight wound
on his throat. Count Tall°, who was only 27, and but a
few months married, was much beloved by all who knew
him.

THE MELANCHOLY YACHT ACCIDENT AT BALLY-
WALTER—The Northern Whip says :—" It appears that
Captain Knowles and his family, accompanied by a
crew of three persons, in his yacht Tana, 43 tons, left
Greenock, on Wednesday morning, for Dublin, where the
63rd Regiment is stationed. As night came on the
yacht neared the County Down shore, and, sighting
land, she was put off from the coast, which is known
to be dangerous. Captain Knowles went below to look at
his chart, when the yacht struck the rocks ; and so sudden
was the calamity that the little vessel immediately filled,
No one on board knew exactly where they were when the
vessel suddenly struck. Captain Knowles instantly caught
a life-buoy and attached it to his wife's body, but the
vessel sack immediately, and all were left struggling in the
water. There was no time available to give any signals, and
the men at the lifeboat station at Ballywalter were not aware
of the unfortunate occurrence until too late to do more than
rescue the three seamen, who providentially had strength
enough to make the rooks. All the others were drowned.
The body of Mrs. Knowles was washed ashore yesterday.
None of the other three bodies have been found. Infor-
mation of the melancholy occurrence baying arrived in
Belfast, Messrs. Sinclair and Boyd, Lloyd's manta, at
once telegraphed to the officer commanding the Ord
Regiment in Dublin, in order that immediate communi-
cation may be made with the friends of the deceased."

COLLIsioN ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY NEAR
Leans. Yesterday 'Hermon, a collision took place
between an express goods train and a number of coal
waggons in the neighbourhood of Newlay Station on the
Midland Railway, a distance of about five miles from
Leeds. A corisideraWitherount of damage was done to the
rolling stock, but with the exception of a few slight
scratches received by the guard in chergeof the goods train
none of the officials of the company were injured. The
force of the collision appears to have been very severe.
The waggons formed part of a coal train which was being
conveyed to Leeds, between four and five o'clock, and
I which was stopped upon the bridge crossing the Aire, just
at the entrance to Newlay Station. The engine was
detached, and was shunted on to a siding for some
purpose or other, and when it bad been there a few
minutes the Scotch goods express, which was running at
an average speed, rushed into the coal waggons. The
force of the collision was so great that the body of the
break van connected with the stationary train was lifted
completely off the wheels, and thrown over the parapet
of the bridge into the river ; while the engine which came
in contact with it was thrown off the line, and several of
the waggons on both trains were broken. Fortunately
the guard in cluuge of the coal train had gone in the
direction of the siding, and it wee while he was attending
to some duties there that the accident occurred. The
engine having been cast off the rails, the up and down
lines were alike blocked up. and u several pas-
senger trains were due, the delay which threatened to
interfere with the traffic seemed serious, The danger
signals were at once shown, and assistance to clear the
line telegraphed for. The superintendent at Leeds, Mr.
E.arp, and other officials were quickly on the spot, and,
with the assistance of a gang of labourers, the down line
was cleared and made safe for traffic about 7 o'clock.
Only one through train was materially delayed,
but a number of slight detentions occurred during the
evening, owing to the care that had to be exercised in
working upon one line of railway. The up trains were
shunted on the down line at Calverley station, and moved
slowly along to Rowley, where both lines were available
for traffic. Shortly after 10 o'clock the line was declared
free from obstruction. The goods train was taken to
Leeds with a fresh engine several hour, after the accident,
and was accompanied by the shard, the injuries he re-
ceived being not at all of so serious a nature as to in-
capacitate him from duty.—Leeds Mercury.
