EXPLOSIVE COMPOUND IN A LETTER. —OR
Wednesday afternoon, while Mrs. Manley, wife of
the postmaster at Warminster, Wilts, was assisting her
husband in stamping the letters, one of them exploded with
considerable force. When Mr. Manley hastened to see
what was the matter, he found that his wife had been almost
stunned, the stamp forced out of her hand, and there was
a sulphurous smoke in the apartment. Upon examination
it appeared that one of the letters contained some detonating
composition. Though Mrs. Manley was more frightened
than hurt, the facts were made known to the Postmaster-
Gen, ral, to whom the name of the sender of the letter was
.communicated.

Two PERSONS FOUND IN THE RlTER.—Yester-
day, Mr. J. Humphreys, the coroner fur Middlesex,
received information respecting the discovery of two male
persons unknown, The first was a man about 30 ; light
brown hair and whiskers. He was dressed in fustian trousers •
and Guernsey shirt, having the appearance of a shore-raker.
The only article found upon him was a clasp knife. The
body was picked up at the entrance of the Regent's Canal
Dock, Limehouse, and was conveyed to the dead-house.—
Another body was found off Stone Stairs, Lower Shadwell,
and the deceased, who was respectably dressed, was removed
to the vault at Shadwell Church. Inquests will be held.
ATTEMPTED CHILD MURDER AND SUICIDE IN
MANCHESTER.—At the Police-court yesterday
morning, Emma Rothwell, the wife of a warehouseman
living in Cain-street, was charged with attempting to mur-
der two of her cnildren and to destroy herself. The prisoner
had been for some time in a desponding condition, and yes-
terday morning about 7.30, a neighbour hearing screams
entered her house and found a child two years old with its
throat severely cut, and another slightly wounded. The
prisoner was only slightly cut about the neck: She was
remanded till Monday.

LAUNCH OP THE WOLVERINE.

Another important addition to the navy was made
to-day at Woolwich dockyard, by the launch of
the screw steam-corvette Wolverine, of 21 guns,
and 1,700 tons burthen. A booth was erected
near the bow of the vessel, and every accommoda-
tion made for visitors, who were admitted to
the dockyard without restriction after one o'clock.
The launch took place precisely at two o'clock,
under the direction of Mr. Turner, master ship-
wright at Woolwich, and the ceremony of christen-
ing the vessel was performed by Miss Turner, the
eldest daughter of that officer.
The Wolverine was laid down at this yard in
April, 1859, and when in a forward state her com-
pletion was suspended, in accordance with the Ad-
miralty order to discontinue the building of timber
vessels, but on a recent visit and inspection, their
lordships directed that the work should be recom-
menced, and the ship got ready for commission.
She is of the same class and size as the ill-fated
Orpheus, and has been constructed, with many
improvements, under the superintendence of Mr.
Turner, master shipwright, who is at present direct-
ing the completion of the iron-clad man-of-war
frigate Caledonia. She is in every respect a fine
specimen of modern naval architecture, and well
calculated for speed. The following aro her exact
dimensions :

Ft. In,
Length between the perpendiculars .... 225 0
Do. for tonnage
Breadth extreme 4O 8
Do. moulded 39 8
Depth in hold 2l 2}
Burthen in tons (old measurement), 1,700 46-94
Immediately after the launch the Wolverine was
removed into dock to be fitted with her screw ma-
chinery, which has been manufactured by Messrs.
Maudslay, Son, end Field.

CLAIMANTS,

An application was made in this case, that certain pro-
perty seized by the messenger should be given up to
Messrs. Potter and Co., wholesale stationers, who claimed
it as belonging to them, although on the bankrupt's pre-
mises at the time of the bankruptcy. It was urged on their
behalf that it formed part of a contract, and it was neces-
sary that it should be delivered to-day.
His Honour at first said that he could not interfere until
assignees had been chosen, but ultimately made the order
on Messrs. Potter entering into a guarantee to pay the
valua in the event of it ultimately resulting that the pro-
perty belonged to the estate.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BARMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS EMPLOYER.
—William Barker, barman in the employ of Mr. Tom
Surridge, landlord of the Black Horse, Coventry-street,
was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing his employer.

Mr. Hall, from the office of Mr. Child, solicit(); to the
Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, prosecuted.
It appears that the prisoner was in Mr. Surridge's em-
ploy, Mr. Surridge paying him a larger salary than was
usual, namely, £25 a year. In consequence of a suspicion
that the prisoner was robbing him, he examined the pri-
soner's bedroom, and under the carpet he found a hole, in
which was a bag containing 225. This was on Monday last.
Mr. Surridge then consulted the police, and on Thursday
Sergeant Joy, 9 C, was called in, and some money marked
and given to him. Later in the day, Laskey, 121 C, was
also called in, and he went up stairs, and on the bag being
examined the money in it was found to be £4 68. 6d. Yes-
terday (Friday) two holes were bored in a partition of the
room, and Laskey placed to watch, and he saw the prisoner
go into the room and afterwards go down stairs, and on Mr.
Surridge, Sergeant Joy, Laskey, and the prisoner all going
up to the room, and the bag being taken from the hole, it
was found to contain £5 18s. 6d., all in silver and in packets
of £1 each. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the
bag, was then taken to the station.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner.

TYNE REGATTA.

This regatta took place yesterday, on the Tyne, at New-
castle, and was very unsatisfactory in its results, only one
of the races being decided. Green, the Australian, was to
have competed in the Tyne Champion Cup, but from some
unaccountable reason did not appear. It is needless to say
this caused great dissatisfaction, as the race was expected
to decide the relative merits of Chambers and Green. The
brief return, by telegraph, given below, will show that the
sport was nothing but wrangling from beginning to cad.
Added to this, the weather was unfavourable.

CHARGE or WIFE BEATING.—A man named Hardy
was brough.:, up on a warrant by Knowland, the warrant
officer, charged before Mr. Selfe with having assaulted his
wife, Sarah Hardy.
The complainant stated ou the Ist of August, in the
afternoon, she was at home when her husband came into
the room where she was. He was not sober, and without
saying a word seized hold of her throat. He grasped it
violently and swore that he would do for her. She screamed
loudly, and made her escape out of the house. He soon
after left her, when she returned home.
Mr. Selfe—When did you see him again?

Complainant—This morning (Saturday) complainant
was awoke up by his knocking at the door. She imme-
diately got up and gave information to the warrant officials.
He (prisoner) was not sober.

Rowland observed that the prisoner only took the pledge
a few weeks ago.

Mr. Selfe—Then there is no hope for him. (Laughter.)

Rowland stated that he was called about four o'clock
that morning by the complainant to take the prisoner into
custody. He went to 25, Regent-street, and found him
there. He then conveyed him to the station-house.
The prisoner was held to bail in two sureties of £5 each
to keep the peace for two months.

THE POLISH QUESTION.

PARIS, AUG. 29,

The Courrier du Dimanche of to-day gives a sum-
mary of the Note which has been appended to the
despatch sent by M. Drouyn de lhuys to Prince
Gortschakoff.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys explains the European
character of the stipulations which were accepted
by Russia, Austria, and Prussia at the Congress of
1915. The French Minister recalls-Ist. That
Russia has entered into an engagement to bestow
on the Kingdom of Poland a distinct constitutional
regime. 2d. That Russia, in making the reserva-
tion to approximate the Polish institutions to those
of Russia, could only allude to the Polish provinces,
without the Kingdom of Poland Proper.
The Powers have a direct and positive right to
claim for Poland a faithful execution of the treaties.
The Courrier du Dimanche further believes itself
able to state, that on the 19th inst., M. Drouyn de
Lhuys addressed a circular to the French agents
abroad, stating that the attitude of Russia had
strengthened the good understanding between the
Powers. It stated also that the Emperor's Govern-
ment was convinced that the Polish question was an
European one, and would continue to watch events
in Poland with the solicitude which it will expect
to be also manifested by all the other Powers. The
Emperor's Government will act in concert with the
other Cabinets in the path which will be considered
most in conformity with the principles of public
law and the exigencies of the situation.

THE AUSTRIAN NOTE TO RUSSIA.
VIENNA, AUG. 29.
The note of Austria to Russia on the Polish ques-
tion has been published to-day.
Austria therein expresses great regret that Russia
had not given a more satisfactory reply to the
notes of the Great Powers. The note then proceeds
to state that the interest of Europe de-
mands an early fulfilment of the work
of conciliation in Poland. Foreign influences,
it says, are not the only cause of the insurrection.
Poland would be tranquil if Russia had fulfilled the
political and religious engagements which she had
contracted. The proposed conference of the eight
Powers ought certainly to be acceptable to Russia.
In conclusion, Prince Gortachakoff is requested
to give his most serious attention to the present
state of things, for the consequences of which Aus-
tria declares Russia alone will be responsible.

SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN.
FRANKFORT-ON-MAINE, AUG. 28.
The Europa of to-day publishes the declaration
made by Denmark on the 27th inst., respecting
Schleswig.

Denmark states that, though not in a position to
withdraw the proclamation of the 30th March, she
is ready to take into consideration the proposals of
the German Confederation, and to carry out in the
uon-Germanic provinces those resolutions of the
Federal Diet,
compatible with the Sovereign and
Legislative power of the King.
Denmark, in conclusion, states that having re-
cognised the political autonomy of the Duchies, and
declared herself ready to ester into negotations
concerning the realisation thereof, she would be
compelled to regard a Federal execution as falling
under the provisions of International law.

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.

The report of the directors of this company states that the
earnings for the half-year ending the 30th June amounted
to £434,340, and the ordinary working expenses to £277,204,
leaving a balance of £157,136. From this was deducted
£32,963 for renewals of permanent way, leaving a net
balance of 124,173. The receipts from traffic and all
other sources as above amounted to £434,340, against
£382,993 for the corresponding half of 1862, or an increase of
£51,347, or 1345 per cent., and against £347,110 for the
corresponding half of 1861, or an increase in 1863 over 1861
of £87,230, or 25'13 per cent. Nearly every item of the
company's traffic revenue had increased during the half-
year, the main exception being the local passenger traffic.
In that item the decrease of £1,052 was much more thin
accounted for by the extraordinary receipt caused by the
movement of troops in the early part of 1862; th© receipts
for military services in the corresponding half year of 1862
having been £12,630 as against £1,353 in 1863. The work-
ing expenses show a total expenditure of £277,204, or 63'83
per cent. on the gross receipts, as compared with 77.24
per cent. in the corresponding period of 1862 ; adding
renewals in both cases, the expenditure for the past
half-year showed a decrease of £9,390, Wnile a gross
increase of revenue of £51,347 had been earned, the
tots! expenditure had been reduced by £9,390, including ire
that expense the increased charge for renewals. The net
revenue in 1859 amounted to £73,358, in 1860 to £102,685,
in 1861 to £142,494, and in 1862 to £170,234. From the net
profit of the half-year—viz., £l24,l73—there had to be de-
ducted a nominal amount of £10,462 for postal and mili-
tary service receipts; the charge for the former being still
unsett led, and the money being still retained by the provin-
cial government. The sum of £6,589 for " lt.ss on Ame-
rican currency"—an item of loss which would, it was feared,
be even heavier in the current half-year, with its larger
traffic—had also to be deducted. These deductions left the
sum of £107,122, which had been applied as follows :—ln
payment of interest on lands, bonds, debentures, and notes,
£10,693; Portland sinking fund, £2,312 ; Atlantic and St.
Lawrence lease in full, £32,763 ; Detroit lease, £11,250 ; in-
terest first preference bonds, £49,913,
leaving in full a balance
of £lB6. The whole amount expended for renewals and im-
provements of the permanent way, ordinary and special, had
been charged to revenue. The charge in the half-year was
£9,261 in excess of that incurred in 1862. It had been
decided to renew during the current half-year :00 miles of
line with the hollow rails. The unexhausted balance to the
credit of net revenue account at December 31, 1862—viz.,
£37,986 had been credited to capital account. The sum of
£6,247 had been expended during the half. year in addi-
tional works and plant, and had been duly debited to capital
This sum is the only real expenditure on "capital account,'
A although that account was also charged with the amount of

LAUNCH OF THE WOLVERINE.

Another important addition to the navy was made
to-day at Woolwich dockyard, by the launch of
the screw steam-corvette Wolverine, of 21 guns,
and 1,700 tons burthen. A booth was erected
❑ear the bow of the vessel, and every accommoda-
tion made for visitors, who were admitted to
the dockyard without restriction after one o'clock.
The launch took place precisely at two o'clock,
under the direction of Mr. Turner, master ship-
wright at Woolwich, and the ceremony of christen-
ing the vessel was performed by Miss Turner, the
eldest daughter of that officer.

The Wolverine was laid down at this yard in
April, 1859, and when in a forward state her com-
pletion was suspended, in accordance with the Ad•
miralty order to discontinue the building of timber
vessels, but on a recent visit and inspection, their
lordships directed that the work should be recom-
menced, and the ship got ready for commission.
She is of the same class and size as the ill-fated
Orpheus, and has been constructed, with many
improvements, under the superintendence of Mr.
Turner, master shipwright, who is at present direct-
ing the completion of the iron-clad man-of-war
frigate Caledonia. She is in every respect a fine
specimen of modern naval architecture, and well
calculated for speed. The following are her exact
dimensions :

Do. for tonnage
Breadth extreme 4O 8
Do. moulded 39 8
Depth in hold 24 21

Immediately after the launch the Wolverine was
removed into dock to be fitted with her screw ma-
chinery, which has been manufactured by Messrs.
Maudelay, Soo, and Field.

WESTMINSTER.

CHARGE OF WIFE BEATING.--A man named Hardy
was brought; up on a warrant by Knowland, the warrant
officer, charged before Mr. Selfe with having assaulted his
wife, Sarah Hardy.

The complainant stated on the Ist of August, in the
afternoon, she was at home when her husband came into
the room where she was. He was not sober, and without
saying a word seized hold of her throat. He grasped it
violently and swore that he would do for her. She screamed
loudly, and made her escape out of the house. He soon
after left her, when she returned home.
Mr. Selfe—When did you see him again ?

Complainant—This morning (Saturday) complainant
was awoke up by his knocking at the door. She imme,
diately got up and gave information to the warrant officials,
He (prisoner) was not sober.

Rowland observed that the prisoner only took the pledge
a few weeks ago.

Mr. Selfe—Then there is no hope for him. (Laughter.)
Rowland stated that he was called about four o'clock
that morning by the complainant to take the prisoner into
custody. He went to 25, Regent-street, and found him
there. He then conveyed him to the station-house.
The prisoner was held to bail in two sureties of £5 each
to keep the peace for two months.

TYNE REGATTA.

This regatta took place yesterday, on the Tyne, at New-
castle, apd was wry unsatisfactory in its results, only one
of the races being decided. Green, the Australian, was to
have competed in the Tyne Champion Cup, but from some
unaccountable reason did not appear. It is needless to say
this caused great dissatisfaction, as the race was expected
to decide the relative merits of Chambers and Green. The
brief return, by telegraph, given below, will show that the
sport was nothing but wrangling from beginning to end.
Added to this, the weather was unfavourable.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A BARMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS EMPLOYER.
—William Barker, barman in the employ of Mr. Tom
Surridge, landlord of the Black Horse, Coventry-street,
was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing his employer.
Mr. Hall, from the office of Mr. Child, solicitor to the
Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, prosecuted.
It appears that the prisoner was in Mr. Surridge's em-
ploy, Mr. Surridge paying him a larger salary than was
usual, namely, £25 a year. In consequence of a suspicion
that the prisoner was robbing him, he examined the pri-
soner's bedroom, and under the carpet he found a hole, in
which was a bag containing 225. This was on Monday last.
Mr. Surridge then consulted the police, and on Thursday
Sergeant Joy, 9 C, was called in, and some money marked
and given to him. Later in the day, Laskey, 121 C, was
also called iii, and he went up stairs, and on the bag being
examined the money in it was found to be £4 6s. 6d. Yes-
terday (Friday) two holes were bored in a partition of the
room, and Laskey placed to watch, and he saw the prisoner
go into the room and afterwards go down stairs, and on Mr.
Surridge, Sergeant Joy, Laskey, and the prisoner all going
up to the room, and the bag being taken from the hole, it
was found to contain £5 18s. 6d., all in silver and in packets
of £1 each. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the
bag, was then taken to the station.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner,

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE PERKINS-JUDGMENT.
His Honour this morning gave judgment in the matter
of this bankrupt, who applied a few days s ace for discharge.
He described himself as sewing machine manufacturer, and
alleged that he had been in partnership with a person
named Goodwin, but the latter put" ib an affi-
davit denying any partnership, and asserted that the
bankrupt had been merely his clerk, and had misappro-
priated moneys, and bad been sued by Goodwin, at whose
suit he was in custody.
Goodwin, however, did not appear personally to be exa-
mined, and his Honour took time to consider the case, and
now gave judgment ordering the bankrupt's release, and
the examination and discharge was adjourned to the 13th
October.

IN RE COMMARIL-IMPORTANT CONCESSION TO

CLAIMANT S,

An application was made in this case, that certain pro-
perty seized by the messenger should be given up to
Messrs. Potter and Co., wholesale stationers, who claimed
it as belonging to them, although on the bankrupt's pre-
mises at the time of the bankruptcy. It was urged on their
behalf that it formed part of a contract, and it was neces-
sary that it should be delivered to-day.
His Honour at first said that he could not interfere until
assignees had been chosen, but altimately made the order
on Messrs. Potter entering into a guarantee to pay the
value in the event of it ultimately resulting that the pro-
perty belonged to the estate.
