THE ENRAGF,D MUSICIAN.—Edward Jeffs, or Jepp, a
tall young man, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged
with being drunk and disorderly, assaulting Thomas Munt,
his landlord, and destroying furniture.
Mr. Munt, of No. 12, Jubilee place, Jubilee-street,
Stepney, said the prisoner occupied two rooms in his house.
On Saturday evening the prisoner, who was intoxicated,
came into the kitchen of the house and wanted to remain
there. He told the prisoner that he could not do so as he
expected some friends. The prisoner made a great disturb-
ance, abused him, and made use of the most dreadful
language. He led the prisoner to his own room and was
about to leave it when prisoner took up a violin and struck
him on the none with it. The prisoner then took up the
violin and smashed that also. The door was the next ob-
ject of attack, and that was broken up. The prisoner then
dt,,molished the partition of his room, and destroyed the
chairs and other furniture. lie called a police-constable
and gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Partridge—He plays on the violin ?
witness—Yes; he was playing with it on Saturday
evening, and then broke it.
Mr. Partridge—He appears to have acted the part of the
enraged musician.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was a berber as well as
a musician, and he had so much business to attend to on
Saturday, and so many noses to pull, that he became quite
unnerved, and thought he could put his nerves in order
and carry on his business if he drank some liquor. The
liqucr had an effect contrary to what he intended, and made
his nerves worss. He played a tune on his violin, but that
did not soothe him, and he did not know what he did after-
wards.

Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a very foolish man,
and ordered him to enter into his own recognizances to
keep the peace to all her Majesty's subjects, and especially
towards Mr. /Aunt, for six months.

SFRIOUS INJURY TO A CONSTABLE TItROUGH AN
EXPLOSION OF GAS.—About five o'clock this morn-
ing an explosion of gas, attended with serious consequences
to a constable named Thomas Evans, 113 C, took place at
the Marlborough-mews Police-station. It appears that at
the time above stated, Evans, who had a lamp in his hand
opened the library door for the purpose of seeing the time
that he might call some of the constables, when hR was
blown with great force against the wall, and the gas with
which the room was fully charged ignited. Assistance was
promptly at hand and the flames extinguished, but not
before great damage was done to the room and its contents.
Evans, who was badly burnt about the head and hands,
was at once removed to the Middlesex Hospital, where he
now remains, the extent of his injuries not yet being ascer-

tained.
The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.27 i per Ll sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is
aD9l.lt 0-10ths rer cent, deazer in London than m Paris. '

Atmospheric Changes of the Alps,

Professor Tyndall sends us for publication some curious
Alpine experiences of Mr. Robert Spencer Watson and his
party in the region of the Jungfrau. The suddenness of the
atmospheric changes will recall the similar observations of
Mr. Whyraper:on the Matterhorn, recorded in our pages a
fortnight ago. Mr. Watson says—" On the 10th of July I
visited the Col de la Jungfrau from the 2Eggisch-horn, in
company with my wife and Messrs. John Sowerby andW . G.
Adams, of Marlborough College. We had with us as guides
J. M. Claret, of Chamouni, and a young man from the hotel.
The early morning was bright, and gave promise of a fine
day, but as we approached the Col clouds settled down upon
it, and on reaching it we encountered so severe a storm
of wind, snow, and hail, that we were unable to stay more
than a few minutes. As we descend, d, the snow continued
to fall so densely that we lost our way, and for some time
we were wandering up the Lotseh Sattel. We had hardly
discovered cur mistake when a loud peal of thunder was
heard, and shortly after I observed that a strange singing
sound like that of a kettle was issuing from my alpenstock.
We halted, and finding that all the axes and stocks emitted
the same sound, stuck them into the snow. The guide from
the hotel now pulled off his cap, shouting that his head
burned, and his hair was seen to have a similar ap-
pearance to that which it would have presented had
he been on an insulated stool under a powerful
electric machine. We all of us experienced the sensation
of pricking or burning in some part of the body, more
especially in the head and face, my hair also standing on
end in an uncomfortable but very amusing manner. The
snow gave:out a hissing, as though a heavy shower of hail
were falling ; the veil ou the wide-awake of ono of the party
stood upright in the air, and on waving our hands the sing-
ing sound issued loudly from the fingers. Whenever a peal
of thunder was heard the phenomena ceased, to be resumed
before the echoes had died away. At these times we felt
shocks, more or less violent, in those portions of the body
which were most affected. By one of these my right arm
was paralysed so completely that I could neither use nor
raise it for several minutes, nor indeed until it had been
severely rubbed by Claret, and I suffered severe pain in it
at the shoulder-joint for several hours. At half-past twelve
the clouds began to pass away, and the phenomena finally
ceased, having lasted 2.5 minutes. We saw no lightning,
and were puzzled at first as to whether we should be afraid
or amused. The young guide was very much alarmed, but
Claret, who is devoid of fear, and who had twice before
heard the singing (though without any of the other symp-
toms), laughed so heartily that we joined him. No evil
effects were felt afterwards beyond the inconvenience aris-
ing from the burning of our faces, which, though we had
no sun, were almost livid in hue when we arrived_ at the
t-Eggisch.horn,—.:lthenceton.

THE KING OF GREECE.,

The Journal de St. Petersbourg gives some details
respecting the journey of the King of Greece. It
says—" On the 21st September, the day of the ar-
rival of the King of Greece at the imperial resi-
dence of Taarskce-Selo, a grand dinner was given
at the palace. On the 22d, in the afternoon, his
Majesty the Emperor held a review of the garrison
of Tsarskce Selo. His Majesty the King of the
Greeks was present."
A letter from Vilna, dated Sept. 20, says :—" To-
day his Majesty George 1., King of the Greeks,
arrived at the Vilna railway station on his Way
to St. Petersburg. His Majesty entered our city

CRIEFF JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Crieff on Thursday,
11r. Monteath in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN moved the approval of the report, which
stated that the accounts for the half year exhibited a balance
of £1,763, out of which the directors proposed to pay a divi-
dend at the rate of 5 per cent., which would absorb £1,082,
and leave a surplus of £6BO. There had been an improve-
ment in the passenger, but a decrease in the goods and mi-
neral treffic. The line was in good order, and maintained
in an efficient manner.
The report was approved; a dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent, per annum was declared ; and certain shares of the
value of £461 were forfeited.

SCIENTIFIC BALLOONING,

Lord Wrottesley, Sir J. Burgoyne, and a large nntuber of
the local gentry were present on Saturday at the Stafford-
road works of the gas company at Wolverhampton, expecting
to see Mr. Glaisher make the last scientific ascent this sea-
son on behalf of the Balloon Committee of the British As-
sociation, under the guidance of Mr. Ccxwell, and in the
mammoth balloon of that clever aeronaut. It had been in-
tended to make the ascent on Friday, but when Mr. Glaisher
came down from London it was discovered that some repairs
were required to the balloon. By the time they were com-
pleted a thunderstorm prevailed, and Mr. Coxwell deemed
it imprudent to venture up whilst the atmosphere was so
highly charged with electricity. On Saturday the prepara-
tions for the inflation commenced at five in the morning,
and it was being successfully proceeded with up to eleven
o'clock, when it was found that owing to undue despatch
the valve• line had escaped from the arm of the man who
was holding it, and a large quantity of gas escaped. Whilst
the valve-line was being sought for the balloon became
slightly rent. By the time all was again taut upwards of
30,000 of the 50,000 cubic feet of gas that had been let into
the balloon had escaped, and it was nearly one o'clock. A
consultation was held, but as Mr. Coxwell could not pro-
mise that the arrangements would be complete to enable
Mr. Glaisher to leave the earth before five o'clock, the as-
cent was postponed until to-day (Monday). If the weather
of to-day should prove unpropitious, then the proposed as-
cent will be abandoned.

Henry Hope, K. C.B.
Death of Admiral Sir

A vacancy has occurred among the flag officers°
the active list by the demise of Admiral Sir Henry
Hope, K.C.8., who died on Wednesday at his seat
in Hampshire. The late Sir Henry Hope was eldest
son of the late commissioner, Charles Hope, by his
marriage with Ann Vane, eldest daughter of Henry,
first Earl of Darlington. He was born in 1787,
and entered the navy in the spring of 1798 as mid-
shipman. He served in the Mediterranean on board
the Kent, 74 (which ship conveyed Sir Ralph Aber-
and also served at the blockade
Ho afterwards removed to the
corfoArnlbeixeatnodEriag.ypt),
Ss if
enemyre , Captain Benjamin Hallowell, and was on
board that ship in a desperate eugagemeni with
t
which reduced her to a wreck, and ren-
dered her a prize to the French squadron. He ob-
tained the rank of lieutenant in May, 1804, and
tsu
served under Captain George Hope and Captain T.
Masterman Hardy. The late admiral, according
to O'Byrne, " won perpetual fame by his ardour
in pursuing, his intrepidity in bringing to close
action, and his undaunted spirit in maintaining
for two hours and a half a conflict with
the American ship President, of 56 guns and 465
man, who at length hauled down her colours, after
a loss to herself of 35 killed and 70 wounded." Pre-
viously to this brilliant affair, which took place 15th
January, 1815, Capt. Hope had taken the Perry,
letter of marque, had also served at the blockade of
New London, and had contributed, during an expe-
dition up the Penobscot, to the capture of the town
of Castine, Ist September, 1814. On arriving with
his prize at Spithead, the gallant officer was pre
sented by the Admiralty lvitli a gold medal in
acknowledgment of his brave conduct, and was no-
minated a Companion of the Order of the Bath.
He was put out of commission is September,
1815, and remained on half-pay. He had been
aide-de-camp to William IV. and to her pre-
sent Majesty- In July, 1855, he was nominated a
Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. His
commissions bore date as follow :—Lieutenant, 3d
May, 1804 ; commander, 22d January,lBo7; captain,
24th May, 1808; rear -admiral, 9th November, 1846;
vice-admiral, 2d April, 1853 ; and admiral, 20th
January, 1858.

EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY.

Mr.• Telbin's magnificent moving diorama of the
Holy Land, Egypt, Syria, and Turkey is now at-
tracting al! London to the Egyptian Hall, Picca-
dilly. The series of paintings exhibited illustrate
the toar of the Prince of Wales in the East, each
one being a perfect marvel of scenic art—the Holy
Sepulchre, Ford of the Jordan, Nazareth, Beyrout,
and the interior of a Turk's House perhaps eliciting
the most rapturous applause. The enjoyment of
the exhibition is heightened by the delivery of a
very entertaining descriptive lecture by Mr. Arthur
Matheson, selected from the writings of Sharp,
Bartlett, Warburton, Kinglake, Bremer, the Rev.
J. M. Bellew, &c., and also some very excellent
music, both vocal and instrument. We can confi-
dently recommend a visit to this diorama, as it
is certainly one of the best exhibitions of the sort
in the metropolis.

HELSTON AND PENRYN.

A public meeting, convened by the Mayor and in-
fluentially attended. was held on Thursday, at ;the Guild-
hall, Helston, to consider a scheme for a railway to join the
Cornwall line at Penryn. The project was explained by
Mr. F. Hill, who, it appeared, wa3 prepared to take con-
siderable pecuniary interest in the undertaking. The pro-
posed line was to go through Owe,* and Constantine and
the great granite districts to Penryn.
Mr. H. ROGERS said ho appeared as the representative
of another line which was in course of survey, and he called
on the meeting to postpone any decision for a week.
Mr. J. J. ROGERS, M.P.. on ,looking at the map, was
prepared to propose the following resslution :—" That it is
expedient to connect the llelston District with the Corn-
wall Railway at Penryn."
Tho resolution was seconded and carried.:

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market
was again extensive. Most of the Dutch sheep and calves
appeared in good, in some instances prime, condition; but
the quality of the beasts was inferior.
From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
were extensive as to number, but somewhat deficient in
quality. Very few Scotch beasts were on offer; but there
was a fair sprinkling from Ireland. All breeds met a heavy
inquiry at a decline in the quotations compared with
Monday last of 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected.
The top figure for the best Scots, &c., was 4s 10d per 81bs.
This, however, was obtained in very few instances.
The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, comprised 2,950 short-horns and
crosses; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds;
from Scotland, 10 Scots; and, from Ireland, 600 oxen and
heifers.

The show of sheep was seasonably good, and, for the
most part, in prime condition. Nearly all breeds moved
off slowly, at 2d per 81bs less money. The best old Downs
changed hands at 5s 2d per 81bs.

We have to report a dull sale for calves— the supply of
whioh was good—at 4d per 81bs less monoy than on this
day se'nnight.

There was a fair averagc business doing in pigs, at very
full prices.

MARK-LANE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday wet e fairly
supplied with wheat, for which description of produce the
demand ruled steady, and prices were well supported. Most
descriptions of spring corn were a dull inquiry, but flour
commanded extreme rates.
Throughout the continent wheat has sold slowly at barely
stationary prices. The American markets have presented
no new feature.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market las
week were moderate. From abroad we received 22,0
quarters of wheat, 8,574 barley, 22,638 oats, 1,701 beans, 98
peas, 14,831 linseed, 8,966 rapeseed, 310 sundry, 900 sacks
and 26,647 bar'rels of flour.
Fresh up to our market, this morning, the arrivals of
English wheat were less extensive. The demand, however,
for all qualities was by no means active, yet last Monday's
currency was well supported. At the close of business, a
fair clearance had been effected.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The amount of business transacted was but mo-
derate, at the rates current last week.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates.
The market was well supplied with English barley, and
the trade ruled heavy, at a decline in prices from Monday
last of is per quarter.
Malt sold heavily, and the quotations had a downward
tendency.
The supply of oats was tolerably large. Scarcely any
change took place in the value either of English or foreign
parcels, but the trade was very inactive.
A fair average supply of beans was on the stands, and
the demand for them ruled inactive, at late rates.
Peas fairly supported last week's currency. Sales, how •
ever, progressed slowly, both in English and foreign
qualities.
Flour of all descriptions met a slow sale, but withou
leading to any material change in prices. The supply o
barrels was somewhat extensive.

AUSTRALIAN WINES.

A report has just been presented by Mr. Keene
to the commissioners of her Majesty's
Customs, in
which the Australian wines are mentioned, and it is

to be regretted that more complete opportunities
were not afforded to that gentleman for testing
more fully the merits of the wines exhibited by the
the several colonies. He states that he was only
able to obtain 18 samples of the Australian vin-
tages, although he had received numerous promises
that samples would be supplied to him. Of the 18
samples which were tested under the sanction of
the commissioners of the customs, the report states

high character,
that none were of a very but that

. _
those from Sydney possessed some sound and ex-
cellent qualities that promise well under improved
culture and more careful manipulation ; but the im-
portant fact is established that all the samples have
a high natural degree of spirit. The wines from
Victoria are stated to be inferior to those of Sydney;
the body is described as weak, and the flavour poor
and uninviting. And it would have been little
short of a miracle if the samples tested had possessed
any inviting qualities, seeing
that for three months
they were exhibited in hot glass building at a
Mel-
bourne, afterwards made a voyage of four months
to this country, and finally shown in an upright
position for six months in the International Exhi,
bition. In the face of these drawbacks, however,
Bound and alcoholic," and this must
as no small proof of their intrinsic
qualities.
perhaps, The report states that "the names by
which several of the wines are distinguished may,
indicate the kind of grape
used in their
manufacture ; but if so, the alteration of climate,
season, or some other circumstance must have com-
pletely changed their character, as not a vestige of
resemblance remains. The Frontignac here is a red
g white and luscious;
which sthouerpwerifnuern,
perfume,
however,stea instead ()f 13 e
attached to the dis4i
tillate gave indication of its origin in the Muscat
grape.
The Hermitage and Burgundies are of a
sickly pale red colour and thin body. Indeed,
all the new wines have a great family like-
ness to each other, and, as well as the white
wines, are destitute of an great individuality."
We also
learn that the Toy kay was not like its
illustrious namesake, and that so little pains had
been taken in the preparation and selection of many
of the samples that some of the white wines of
Victoria were still in a state of fermentation. The
testings of the samples of New South Wales vino
gave the following results:—The Australian hock
gave 18.9 per cent. of alcohol ; the lrrawang, 21.6 ;
Porphyry (red wine), 25.9; Camden Park, 25.9;
Kaludah (white), 23 3. The Victorian wines were
—Mataro, 20.2 ; Frontignac, 22.0 Hermitage, 20.8;
Burgundy, 23.9 ; Red Victoria, 28.6 ; White Vic-
toria, 25.9 ; Tokay, 27.9 ; -White Pineau, 24.6 ;
Sauterne, 24.6; Chasselas, 24.6. The great defi-
ciency in connection with all these Australian wines
was that sufficient attention had not been paid to
their manufacture and subsequent manipulation,—.

WESTMINSTER.

DAnING HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE,—.
John Ryan, a low-looking fellow of about 18 years of age,
was charged with assaulting Charles Gilbert, an Irishman,
and stealing from him 3s.
Prosecutor said—l was going along College-street, on
Sunday morning, at half-past 1, when prisoner and two
more men came up to me and asked me for a light. I re-
plied that I had none, and turned away, but had not gone
above 10 paces before the prisoner came up, seized me by
the back of the neck, and threw me down. The others
then commenced kicking, striking, and pulling me about.
Prisoner kicked me in the head and rifled my pockets,
taking 3s. and a screw of tobacco, all I possessed. My coat
was turn all to pieces and I was rendered almost insensible.
A gentleman came to my assistance, with a constable, and
prisoner was given into custody.
Thomas M'Donald sworn—l was in College-street on
Saturday night, and witnessed the assault. Prosecutor
was very shamefully kicked and beaten about, and I went
to his assistance. I caught hold of prisoner's accomplice,
but the prisoner on the arrival of the constable escaped.
Joseph 'William Todd said—l saw the struggle and
went to the assistance of prosecutor with a constable.
Prisoner ran away on our approach, and we pursued him.
He threw himself down in a doorway, but was overtaken
by the constable, and I pursued the other man, but failed
to catch him.

Police-constable 307 B, confirmed the above statement,
but added that the prisoner kicked and fought very much,
and with the assistance of a police sergeant he was taken
to the station,

Sergeant Young, 1 B, corroborated the constable's evi-
dence, and added, that prisoner struck and kicked him.
Prosecutor was knocked about very much. His head bled
profusely and his eye was closed,
Mr. Arnold thought it very strange that the prosecutor
should have said he held the prisoner, whereas be escaped.
The sergeant said that might be accounted for by the
state of insensibility in which the prosecutor was.
Prisoner said
he was drunk, and was remanded till
Thursday next,

SPAIN.

The Spanish journals state that accounto have
been received from Melilla to the 17th instant.
Everything was then calm in the camp of
the Moors, who seem to repent of the atti-
tude which they had assumed. The iVerta
steamer, from Malaga, landed a battalion of
infantry. The Spanish expedition destined
to chastise the Moors of the Riff will, it is
said, be from 8,000 to 10,000 strong. Ge.aeral
Alsldonaldo has had a conference with the
Governor of the Riff, who is encamped before
Melilla, and the result of the interview wilt
be immediately sent to the Government. The
generality of the Moors wish for peace.

LONDON AND WINDSOR.

It appears that arrangements have been made between
the Great Western and Metropolitan Railway Companies
to run trains through from Windsor to Farringdon-street,
and via versa, commencing the Ist of next month. The
number of trains is to be limited to five each way daily, but
as the traffic gradually becomes developed this number must
necessarily be increased. These trains are to stop at all the
stations en the Metropolitan Railway, and passengers will
be conveyed by them from one intermediate station to
another, the same as by the ordinary trains of the Metro-
politan Company. The traffic is intended to be worked thus :
—The carriageri from Windsor for Farringdon-street are to
be attached to a London train at Slough, and brought on to
Paddington, where they will be detached and conveyed
along the Metropolitan line by an engine waiting for the
purpose. This improved communication, it is expected,
will facilitate local traffic and be mutually beneficial to both
companies.
