mayor, Mr. Henry Piper, with the town-clerk, Mr. Sinai

piece, and other local authorities were at the Town-hall
during the evening. About a quarter past i 0 o'clock there
were three attempts made to make bonfires in the streets.
That in front of Holy Trinity Church, which was always
accounted the principal one, was speedily prevented. The
second was a little more successful in Chapel-street, but the
special constables soon arrived on the spot, and trampled
out the embers. lizra a collision with the mob was immi-
nent, and only prevented by the arrival of a second force of
constables. The third was lighted on the steep hill leading
to the Cemetery. This was blazing for some little time
before it was noticed, but a number of the special constables
went to the spot and speedily extinguished it. A row oc-
curred nearly opposite the Angel Hotel, and it really ap •
peared as if extraordinary measures would have to be
taken to put it down, A shower of stones was sent at the
constables, and one of them, Mr. Hart, painter, was
badly hurt. It was here deemed advisable to give the
usual public caution. The mayor and town-clerk accord-
ingly proceeded from the Town-hall, Standing on the
steps in front of the Angel Hotel, the latter deliberately
read the Riot Act, and the mayor ordered the streets to
be cleared. The special constables then formed in a com-
pact body, and drawing their truncheons marched down
the street, driving all before them. Several cases of per-
sonal injury occurred, but none were serious. The
mayor and other local authorities remained at the Town-
hall until nearly 1 o'clock this morning, when the streets
had become less crowded, but it was considered desirable
that military pickets shoald be on duty up and down High-
street all night until daybreak to•day. Ono or two bonfires
were lighted in private gardens, but of course the police had
no power to interfere with these. A party of Guildford
roughs, it is said, went over to Godalming, finding their
efforts here were abortive, and created a good deal of trouble.
A huge bonfire was blazing away there as early as ;o'clock
in the evening. There were also bonfires at Shalford,Chit-
worth, Gomshall, Dorking, and other places bordering on
the South-Eastern line of railway. It is said that the
"guys' are determined on the first possible occasion to
have their bonfire and masked procession, but any attempt
to carry out this purpose will be promptly suppressed.
Mrs.. M. Eburne (Miss Margaret Eburne, late of
Sadler's Wells Theatre, under the management of Mr.
Phelps), is engaged by Mr. Edmund Falconer to appear as
the Witch of the Alps, in Byron's classical play of " Man-
fred," on Monday next at Drury-lane.—Era.
TIIE NERVES transmit their impressions at the
rate of 34 metros per second. M. lleinholtz, by means of
the chronoscope, estimates the velocity at 190 feet per
second. The latter experiments were made on the motor
nerves of a frog ; the former on the human. nerves.

THE CASE OF ENSIGN KENNY.—p,
—'3B.gn Kenny,
according to the Oita% Gazette, will not be subjected
to another court-martial, but will be permitted to retire
from her Majesty's servic6. It will be remembered that
this officer and Ensign Hutchinson were recently tried on a
charge of rape upon a native woman, and acquitted. Ensign
Hutchinson was then ordered to return to his duty; but
Ensign Kenny was kept in arrest with a view to being
brought to court martial upon other charges, the particulars
of which have not been made public. The option of retiring
from the service was at the same time offcred to him, and
appears to have been accepted.
