T.RUB _HEROISM.

The old Romans decreed a civic crown to hina
who had saved a citizen's life in battle. What
honour has our Government in store for the hero of
the following glorious deed, recorded by our own
reporter in his account of the late terrific explosion
in the camp before Sebastopol ?
Immediately after the first great explosion, when it
was ascertained that the windmill itself—which form
our main magazine in this part of the camp, and
contains some 180 tons of powder—had escaped, Gen.
Straubenzee, who commands the brigade, hurried up to the
tents of the 7th Fusiliers, and asked if any of the men
would volunteer to mount the wall of the mill and cover
the roof with wet tarpaulins and blankets as a protection
against the thickly-flying sparks and burning wood.
Now, the concussion had literally thrown the roof off
the old building, and there it stood in the very centre
of the spreading flames, exposed every minute to a thou-
sand chances of instantaneous destruction. Hardly any-
thing could exceed the danger attending such a labour
as the general proposed, but, notwithstanding, Lieut.
Hope (senior) and 25 men at once responded to the briga-
dier's appeal and proceeded tothe powder-crammed builds
ing. A sergeant and some men of the Rifles, with also a
party of the 34th Regiment, were induced to accom-
pany them ; and, within ten minutes from the first great
blow-up, 11Ir. Hope was on the walls of the mill piling
the wet coverings over the exposed powder-boxes—ex-
ploding shells and burning wood flying through the air
in perfect storms the while. Whilst the officer and
seine half-dozen of the men were thus employed, the
remainder carded water to throw upon the blankets and
bare rafters of the mill, and in little more than half an
hour this vast pile of powder was as well protected
from the thickly flying sparks and rockets as it could
be, short of entire removal from the scene of the con-
flagration. The danger, however, aas still great, for a
shell might at any moment penetrate the textile co-
verings and send the whole into the air, spreading
around destruction and death, c )inpared with which tl.•
injury already done would have been as nothing. The
troops were therefore kept as far as possible from the
scene of the fire till late in the evening, when it had so
expended its fury as to give less ground for apprehen-
sion. For the most perilous service which he bad so
bravely and efficiently rendered, Lieutenant Hope was
publicly thanked by General Straubenz e and the colonel
of his own regiment on Thursday morning on parade ;
and I, for one of many, sincerely hope that his daringly
meritorious conduct will not be allowed to pass without
further reward. Had the contents of the windmill ex-
ploded, we should not now be reckoning our killed and
wounded by tens, but by hundreds, for experienced en-
gineer officers declare that hardly a living thing in the
whole Light Division could have escaped destruction.
This narrative appeared in our impression of
Thursday last, but we re-publish it in this promi-
nent position for the purpose of forcing it upon the
notice of Lord Panrnure. The incident is the theme
of conversation in all circles. It is the universally
expressed sens 3 of the London public that Lieu-
tenant Hope and his twenty-five gallant volunteer I
deserve special notice and distinguished reward.
From another source we learn that at the moment
of the explosion, Lieut. Hope, who was the only
officer of his regiment left in camp at the time,
with a degree of self-possession beyond his years,
seized the bugle and sounded the " Assembly "
for the men to fall in and parade. The self-pos-
session and promptitude of resource thus evinced
combined with his subsequent fearless and generous
self-devotion, show that he is the true metal to
make a leader of. his coolness and judicious con-
duct in such an awful and unforeseen emergency is
a far more real proof that be possesses the highest
qualities of a soldier than mere gallantry in action
could be. The honour reflected on his family by
Lord Hopetoun of Peninsular fame (Mr. Hope is
the only son of the Lord Justice Clerk of Scotland)
will be augmented yet by his young relative. The
truly brave are always the most ready to assert
the claims of others. We feel confident that any
reward conferred upon Lieutenant Hope would
lose great part of its value in his estimation, if the
brave and devoted men who volunteered along with
him were not rewarded at the same time.—Daily
News.

INSTITUTION FOR THE RELIEF OF
DEAFNESS.

The annual meeting of the subscribers and friends of
the above institution was held in the committee-room,
Cherry-street, on Thursday last ; T. R. T. Hodgson,
, Mayor, in the chair.

Amongst those present were the. Rev. J. C. Miller,
rector of St. Martin's, J. F. Ledsam and Wm. Lucy,
Esqrs., Messrs. J. Dadley, J. 0. Mason, John Allday,
J. C. Wynn, J. Seeking., W. Dufton, and other gentle-
znea.

The MAYOR, in opening the business, said that the
meeting, although small and select, was nevertheless
one of considerable importance, having for its object the
interest of what he believed was a. very valuable institu-
tion. It was the first public meeting over which he had
had the honour of presiding since his election, and he
need nut say it afforded him pleasure to be in any way
instrumental in forwarding that or any other of the im-
portant charitable institutions of the borough by which
any portion of his fellow-townsmen might be beneatted.
He did not know much of their institution, but he
believed it bad been eleven years in existence, and
during that time had conferred very great benefit upon
numerous persons afflicted with deafness, a malady
which they all knew was next in severity to that of
blindness. He was happy ta learn that the institution
had steadily increased from its commencement, and that
during the past year it had still further progressed ; in-
deed he felt confident it only required to be known to
be appreciated and rendered capable of conferring great
advantages upon many of the working classes.
Mr. J. 0. MASON read the report of the committee,
and the statement of accounts for the past year, and
in doing so said he much regretted the absence fr,:rn in-
disposition of Mr. William Chance, jun., who had been
honorary secreeary of the institution since its commence-
ment, and had really rendered it the utmost service.
That gentleman had taken a deep interest in the welfare
of the institution, and he felt confident that no one
could have evinced more zeal in the promotion of the
undertaking. With respect to the report, it was highly
satisfactory, and reflected great credit on Mr. Dufton,
the surgeon, who bad rendered very essential service to
many poor persons afflicted with deafness, and who
could not purchase the skill and ability that gentleman
had exercised in their regard. It appeared from the
report that not fewer than 2,869 cases had been treated
in the institution since its establishment, that 154 per-
sons had been cured during the past year, 110 had been
considerably, relieved, and 27 were deemed incurable.
The total number of persons who bad received benefit
from the institution since the last annual meeting was
291. The cash account was also favourable, showing,
as it did, a balance in hand of 74/. 135. sd.

The Rev. J. C. MILLER moved the adoption of the
report, and after congratulating the ceernmittee on the
satisfactory state of the finances of the institution, the
balance being, contrary to usage, on the right side of
the account, proceeded to observe that although the
meeting was small and select, yet it was important.
It was indispensably necessary that the anniversary
meeting of such an institution should be kept up, and
as much publicity as possible given to its proceedings
through the medium of the press. He would observe
that the real value of an institution was not always to
be measured by-the prominence it assumed before the
public, for although some institutions might be able to
exhibit a long list of names of patrons and directors, yet
they could not always boast of great practical results
such as the institution they were that day met to sup-
port. lie hoped the institution would longce

Indeed it was only the day before he had to at-
tend a sick wan who could not hear what he said to him,
and it was indeed most unpleasant under such circum-
stances to have to speak at the top of one's voice into
the ears of an afflicted person. It afforded him great
pleasure to be able thus publicly

J. F. LEDSA, to testify to the great
Esq., seconded the resolution, which
was put and carried.
Alderman L'OCT moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Dui-
ton, and in doing eo complimented that gentleman upon
his great zeal in behalf of the institution, and his very
successful treatment of the cases submitted to his care.
A gentleman at Manchester, who had a daughter deaf
wrote to him (Alderman Lucy) to know if he could re-
commend Mr. Dufton Si one to whom he could confide
the cure of his daughter. lie replied that he could do so
with safety, and the result had been highly satisfactory.
The young lady had been under the most skilful aurists
in Manchester and London without effect, but now,
owing to Mr. Dutton's treatment, a decided chai.ge 11:)r

ultimately to a still greater relief being afforded.

From present appearances the rebuke which the Lou.
don Times will be likely to get from both sides the water
for fluxing the United States in its warlike fanfaronnade,
will be severe. Tu the people of England the relief from
this information at Washington must be immense, for
they can now settle down from their " tremendous panic
on the conviction that their mirdsters are not such fools as
they feared; that we had as lief feed John Null as fight
him; and that their leading monster in Printing-house-
squa,re is either a fool, or knave ; or else had sold himself
to the Government or somebody else for a sensation.
The Boston Advertiser says :
In regard to the statements which have appeared in
the London papers, it happens to be in our power to
state that letters have been received in this city,under
date of October 31, in which it is stated, from source
entitled to full contidenct4, that Lord Clarendon has as-
sured Mr. Buchanan that the articles in the Times and
Post were not in aceordance with the views and feeligs
of the Government, which were most friendly.
The Sew York Atlas observes :

The prospect of an English war is discussed with
Pump and circumstance in the newspapers, and the
chances of peace are weighed with immense gravity.
Yet, notwithstanding all this speculation, we suppose
very few sensible people are still alarmed. There is
something in the past which gives us assurance of a feli-
citous termination of these diplomatic disputes. They
are indeed nothing new. Many questions have arisen
between England and America, requiring for their ad-
justment, upon either side, much forbearance and con.
cession ; more than once hosti:ities have appeared he
evitable. We were di-posed to fight about the north-
east and the north-west, and the affair of the Caroline ;
but the good sense of the people, on either Eido of the
wantel, has always resulted in a bloodless settlement.
An En glish-American war would be such an utter folly,
so stupidly • • suicidal, so destructive to the social happiness
cf both countries, so causeless and so profitless, that lee
cannot believe in its possibility.
The New York Courier, of Nov. 19, says :--
The people of Great Britain were as anxious to keep
on good terms with us as we were to ho friends with
them ; and to both no contingency seemed more remote
than, a war between us. Into this quiet atmosphere the

I had known there had been anything wrong at too
time I should not have assisted to pick the marks out of
the linen.
A great many witnesses were examined with a view
to confirm the evidence of the witness Hawkins, and it
also appeared that when the prisoners King and Wit•
Hams were apprehended by Thomas and Adana, two
superintendents of the Ducks police, a considerable quan-
tity of the stolen property was found in the possession
of Williams. Upon King there was likewise a chisel,
which corresponded in size to some marks upon a door
that had been forced open in the Bed Lion. The pri-
soner Goodenough, it appeared, was taken into custody
for another burglary in Surrey and committed to take
his trial, and he appeared on the present occasion under
a writ of habeas. It wai proved that a considerable
portion of the stolen property was sent up to London,
and that it was pledged by the prisoner Baker, and in
her house other portions of the stolen property were also
discovered.
Mr. Charnock addressed the jury at some length on
behalf of the prisoner Goodenough, and he contended
that there was not sufficient confirmation of the evidence
of the accomplice to justify them in finding a verdict of
guilty against him.
Mr. Justice Crompton having summed up, the jury,
after a short deliberation, found all th,e prisoners guilty
the man Goodenough of the offence of burglary, and
the woman of receiving the property, knowing it to have
been stolen. Two previous convictions for felony were
proved against Goodenough.
The prisoners were then called for judgment, and
Goodenough was sentenced to be transported for 15
years, and the others to six years' penal servitude.
When the sentence was pronounced the prisoner Good-
enough, who had conducted himself with great effron-
tery during the proceedings, exclaimed that he was in-
nocent, and that the ease had been got up by Beddel-
comb, the inspector of the Surrey police, because be had
told him that he should like to have his neck stretched
kr him. As be was leaving the dock he shook his fist
at that officer, and in a most threatening tone said, " I
only wish I may live to come back for your sake."
They were then all removed.
Benjamin, Butcher, 20, and Charles Wormsley, 20, two
miserable•looking creatures, described as tra,mpers,
pleaded guilty to two indictments charging them with
wilfully setting fire to a stack of clover hay and a stack
of haulm.
The learned Judge said he saw by the depositions
that when the prisoners were before the magistrates they
admitted having committed the two offences imputed to
them, and,gave as a reason that they had been refused
relief by the Union, and also stated that they intended
to have set fire to more property if they had not been
taken into custody. Their offence was a very shocking
one, for they must be well aware that destroying pro-
perty in this manner could not do them any good, and
that that was not the way to obtain relief. lle then
sentenced both prisoners to six years' penal servitude.

BOW-STREET.—A middle-aged man, named Alex-
ander Ferrari, who, though described as an interpreter,
spoke English with manifest difficulty, was charged with
assaulting Julia Bouquet.
The complainant was accompanied by an interpreter,
and gave her evidence in French. She stated that she
was a single woman, but was about to be married to a
gentleman engaged at present at the Strand Thea're.
Last evening she went to the theatre to see him, and a
quarrel took place between tbem on the subject of his
profession, which she wished him to abandon. She left
the theatre by the side door, and her " husband" by the
front, and they met again in the street, he being accom-
panied by the prisoner, who was in his service. Here
the di3pute was resumed, when the prisoner, to whom
she had not said one word, began to beat her with his
walking cane. Her arms and wrists were marked with
stripes from the blows he gave her.
Mr. Thomas Payne, lessee of the theatre, here came
forward and offered an explana'ion of the circumstances
of the case. He said that the gentleman referred to was
Senor Marcos Diaz, the Spanish dancer, and the pri-
soner was his interpreter. Complainant had for some
time been in the habit of going behind the scenes to see
Diaz ; but their quarrels had become so frequent, and
complainant's conduct so violent, that he (Mr. Payne)
was obliged to intimate to Diaz that she could no longer
be admitted. The senor signified his wish that she should,
by all means, be excluded, which was done until last
night, when she passed in during the temporary absence
of the person whose duty it W 35 to prevent her admis-
sion. She made her way to Diaz's dressing-room, and a
scene took place, the nature of which might be judged
of from the fact that when he next saw Marcos Diaz his
face was covered with blood from scratches, apparently
inflicted with the finger nails. Afterwards complainant
followed Diaz to the stage, and, seizing him by the
throat, flung him down a flight of stairs. Witness had
several times ordered that she should be turned out, but the
men were all afraid of her. At last heput her out himself.
Diaz left the house at, the front entrance, hoping to
e,cape her, but she met him at the corner and made a
freBll attack upon him, when the prisoner interfered to
protect his master.

The constable who took the prisoner in charge
(Draper, 310 A) said that he saw the complainant strug-
gling with a man, and was approaching fur the purpose
of interfering, when he saw prisoner strike complainant
three times very violently with his cane. Witness stopped
him as he was about to inflict a fourth blow.
Senor Diaz corroborated. He observed that he could
not conceive what right Alexander had to strike "La
Senora."

Chas. Payne, one of the stage carpenters, gave a si-
milar version of the occurrence to that of Mr. Payne.
The prisoner said he only wanted to separate the com-
plainant from his master, and had net the slightest in-
tention of hurting her. He called the magistrate's at-
tention to the scratches still to be seen on the face and
neck of the senor, and appealed to his worship to say
whether he could be expected to stand by and see his
master so treated

BRISTOL, Tuesday.—An inquest, held at the Royal
Infirmary, was commenced on Saturday and concluded
this day before the city coroner, J. B. Grindon,
on the body of Jose Francois Mareschal, a Belgian sea.-
man cf the ship Leopold 1., now lying in this port, who
died from the effects of inquiries inflicted on him under
the dastardly c.rcumstances hereinafter detailed, by
Johann Wilhelm Adolphe Sehinck, a Russian sailor
Lelonging to the same vessel.
The jury having (after some opening remarks by the
coroner) viewed the body, which was that of a fine
young man, aged about 24, evidence, of which the fol-
lowing is an outline, was taken.
R. Bruce, Esq., Belgian consul, was present to watch
the proceedings.
William Murphy deposed that he was chipkeeper on
board the Leopold 1., a foreign ship, lying at the corner
of the quay. The captain and crew were foreigners, one
of them being a Russian. At about one o'clock on Sun-
day morning witness was keeping watch on deck, when
he heard some men tusseling and fighting on the quay,
and on looking towards them saw tbat it was the Rus-
sian, the deceased, and another Belgian. They were
all tipsy, but deceased more so than the others. The
Russian came on board, went forward, and armed himself
with a heavy capstan bar, and then called out "Frank."
The depea,,,ed at that time was in the act of going
aboard. lie stepped off the plank to the deck, and was
walking towards the fore part of the ship, where his
berth was, when the Russian came forward and met him,
and, without a word passing, struck him with all his
might across the head with the capstan bar. (The bar,
a most murderous weapon, was here handed in for view
by the jury.) The deceased fell on his side on the deck,
and witness called to the captain, and then spoke to
deceased, who was lying in a pool of blood. The Rns-
' sian tried to prevent him (witness) from going on shore
to call the police, but he persisted in going, and went
on to the quay, and alarmed two constables, who re-
turned with him to the ship. The Russian had in the
meantime contrived to escape, and had never since been
seen. The deceased was conveyed to the infirmary.
The Belgian sailor who had formed the third in the
scuffle was called to give evidence, but a difficulty arose,
as, beyond a few words, he was ignorant of both French
and Flemish, speating only a patois, which neither the
consul nor any one else in court could understand.
The Ship keeper, on being questioned, said the witness
was not on board, and had nothing to do with the blow.
The Coroner said if that were the case he should not
attempt to examine him.
Mr. Nathaniel Crisp, acting house surgeon of the
Bristol Royal Infirmary, deposed to the illness and death
of the deceased on Thursday night, and to his having
made a careful post mortens examination of the body. On
the left side of his head was a straight wound, tolerably
clean, and about three inches long, over the temporal
bone. On removing the scalp blood was found effused
between the scalp and the skull, nearly all over the head.
On opening the skull there was a large quantity of blood
pressing on the membranes of the brain and on the brain
itself, which was broken in two places. There were
fractures on both sides of the skull, commencing under-
neath the wound, and then breaking off into two. One
of them ran right through the base of the skull and to
the spinal canal. The fractures were probably caused
by one blow, and they were undoubtedly the cause of
death.
Police-constable No. 85 deposed to having been en-
trusted with a warrant for the apprehension of the Rus-
sian, Schenck, who had contrived to elude all pursuit.
He had searched Bristol, Cardiff, and Newport, but
could find no trace of him.
The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against
the Russian, Schiuck.

NAVAL PRIZE MONEY.

Department of the Accountant-General of the Navy,
Admiralty, Somerset-House, Nov. 29.
Notice is hereby given to all persons interested therein,
that preparations are now making for the intended
distribution of proceeds arising from the Russian barque
Carl, captured on the 25th April, 1854, by the Avon, ten-
der to her lajesty's ship Impregnable.
Agents or other persons having any just and legal de-
mand unliquidated against the said proceeds aro required
to transmit the particulars of any such demand to the Re-
gistrar of the High Court of Admiralty, in order that the
same may be examined, taxed, and allowed by that officer,
and paid under the sanction of the Judge of the said court.
Agen:s and al: other persons holding powers of attorney,
prize orders, assignments, or other instruments, by virtue
of which they may be legally entitled to claim the share
belonging to any captor, are requested, with as little delay
as possible, to transmit the same, accompanied by the usual
documents, to the Prize Branch of the Department of the

About midnight on Saturday a brutal fratricide was
perpetrated at the thriving manufacturing village of Clay-
ton West, which is situated about five miles from Barns-
ley, on the Barnsley and Huddersfield-rona Tl-“, hnl -
rid deed was committed by a man named James Wha-
ram, 29 years old, who is now in custody on the charge
of wilful murder, and who was employed as a worsted
dyer, at the factory of Messrs. J. Norton and Son, of
Clayton West. His brother, a quiet, inoffensive man,
named Jeremiah Wharam, aged 36, was also in the employ
of Messrs. Norton as a stuff presser. It appears that fur
some time past the brothers had not regarded each other
with the most friendly feeling, and on previous occasions
the prisoner had been heard to threaten to stab his bro-
ther. On Saturday night the deceased went to the Com-
mercial Inn, Clayton West, where he had four glasses of
ale. James Wharam came into the house a little after
11 o'clock, but had nothing to drink, and walked about
from one room to another. A little before 12 o'clock, the
decased left the house, and passed the prisoner, who was
at the yard end, and who after they had got about 15
yards from him, called out, " Go home, Shoddy." The
deceased then said to a man named Horsfall, " That
word's enough to go back for," and he turned round and
went back immediately. A scuffle ensued between the
brothers, and in it the prisoner drew a knife and stabbed
the deceased in ten different places. Horstall and
others, on hearing the scuffle, went up to the parties
and pulled the prisoner away, when the deceased, after
uttering the words, " I am stuck in many places ; I am
a dead man," dropped upon the road. He was lifted up
and he never spoke afterwards, but expired as he was
being carried home. Mr. Rowley, surgeon, was im-
mediately called in ; but on his arrival, the deceased
was quite dead. On examining the body he found no
fewer than nine incised and punctured wounds on the
left side of the chest ; one of which wounds, passing
between the eighth and ninth ribs into the left auricle

The inquest was held yesterday (Monday, before Mr. T.
Taylor, coroner, at tha Duke William Inn. After
several witnesses had been examined, and had detailed
the facts stated, the jury retired ; and after an absence
of about an hour, they returned a verdict of wilful
murder against James Wharam.—Manchester Guardian.

A LUCKY CONVICT.—About 29 years ago two men
were transported from Cambridge for a highway rob-
bery, committed about a mile from this town. Tile rob-
bers lay in wait for a farmer coming home from market,
who they knew had received a large sum of money, but
by mistake stopped the wrong person. One of the
robbers died while under transportation, the other by
good conduct obtained a ticket of leave, and went to the
diggings, were he amassed considerable wealth.' On
Saturday week he unexpectedly returned to his native
village, Chesterton, were be found his father, mother,
and most of his relations were dead, but learnt that one
brother still survived, and was residing in Huntingdon-
shire, and thither he has gone to allow of his brother
participating in his good fortune.—Cambridge Chronicle.
