council of the Reform League, held last ev. Mr.
Edmond Beales, who presided, n ferred to the lanipiet to
Mr. Bright in Dublin as an event of great importance.
There would be a meeting of the trades in Dublin en Fri.

sister country. Mr. Joseph Guadalla propused, Mr. Bubb
secuaded, and it was agreed, "That a delilltill;011frulil this
pleaue consisting of Messrs. Mantle and Conolly, em.
owered to attend the trades meeting in Dublin on Friday

SiNnt:LAR Sr A strange incident occurred
on hoard one of the steamers belonging to the Portsmouth
and Ryde Packet Company, on Tuesday ec. :.ing. It •
appears that the Prince Consort, Captain Clialmer, left
Hyde at six o'clock, and when about midway between the
Isle of Wight and the mainland, a male icissenger cud-
denly rushed on deck, out of the cabin, and sprang over
the bulwarks into the sea. An alarm was imilteilLtely
raised, and the engines were stopped. Colrain Clailiner
at once ordered a boat to be lowered, and the crow rowed
about the place for about ten minutes, hut the search was
unsuccessful, and the steamer continued her vor,,ge. The
passenger was unknown to everybody on board the steamer,
and had only been spoken to by the mete, who collected
his fare, but did not observe anything extraordinary in
Lis manner.
THE CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT IqAII.STONE.—
An inquest was held on Tuesday, at the Tow Lail, Maid-
atone, upon the body of Sarab Smith, the woman supposed
to have been murdered on Sunday last. Evidence was
given by a woman named Saunders, a neighbour, that she
had heard cries of murder from the house. and that on
her entering she found the man in custody (Jolley) stand-
ing over the deceased, who was lying on the ground bleed-
ing from the nose, and that he several times kicked her.
Mr. Hoar, surgeon, however, stated as the result of his
post-mortem examination that no bruises, externally or •
internally, were to be found, but the brain and spinal
cord of the deceased were extensively congested. In hie
opinion death resulted from apoplexy, which milht have
been accelerated by drink and excitement, but had no
violence been used towards the deceased death would hive
taken place. The jury found that death had been accele. '
rated by violence, and returned a verdict of " Manalaugh.
ter" against John Jalley.
