ILFORD, August 2.

THE MURDER OF A RUSSIAN SEAMAN BY AN
AMERICAN SAILOR.—Henry Brennan, the Ameri-
can sailor, and late one of the crew of the ship
Fanny Fern, was brought up for final examination
on the charge of murdering Stephen Rous Roukoff,
a Russian seaman, belonging to the ship Odessa,
lying in the Victoria Docks.
Mr. Inspector Nightingale, of the K division of
police, who had charge of the case, informed the
Bench that the coroner's inquest upon the body of
the deceased had been held that morning, at the
Poplar Hospital, and a verdict of wilful murder had
been returned.

Mr. Clifton, the magistrate's clerk, read over the
deposition of the deceased, which was taken in the
presence of the prisoner, and which has not as yet
been given. The deceased stated that while he
was at the Sir Robert Peel beershop with some of
his companions, the prisoner took some of his beer,
and asked him for money, first 6d, then for 4d., and
then 2d. He .complained of his conduct, and then
remained a short time at the house after the prisoner
and his companions had left, so as to avoid them.
He then described meeting with the Americans in
the Victoria Dock, and clearly identified the pri-
soner as the man who stabbed him.

Mrs. Scotehmer, the landlady of the Sir Robert
Peel, spoke of the violent conduct of the prisoner
on the night in question and on other occasions, and
that he had threatened to stab her husband.

The prisoner, in answer to the usual question as
to whether he had anything to say, said, I am in-
nocent of stabbing the man, and the witnesses have
perjured themselves.
The Chairman (Mr, Davis)--Then you are fully
committed for trial at the next sitting of the Cen-
tral Criminal Court.

did also all the other prisoners, that be was the man
who actually fired the gun. The prisoners were
asked by the magistrate whether any of them de-
sired to say anything in answer to the charge, and
tLey all replied in the negative, and they were then
remanded to the county gaol at Maidstone. There
is inquiries that have been
made astohnat
intended to have given in-
rel to eiclhieivne really fro m
in-
formation to the police, but it has also been ascer-
tained that he had sent round to all the other pri-
soners advising them to get out of the way, and he
no doubt expected that they would have been able
to make their escape.

held on Tuesday at Liverpool; Mr. Greenall in the
chair.
The report stated that the gross revenue for the
halflear amounted to £52,080, and the expenses,
including renewals, to £21,029, leaving a surplus of

is also announced by telegraph that this amount is
in course of transmission to London.

NORTH-EASTERN.

The Harrogate loop line of this company was
opened for passenger traffic on Friday. Although
the event is one of great importance to Harrogate,
there was no public ceremonial on the occasion.
The loop line unites the Church Fenton branch with
the Leeds northern line, near the great Crimple
viaduct, from which trains pass by an easy gradient
over the former line, which is now extended
across the Stray and between the towns of Low
and High Harrogate. From Harrogate the line
curves to the north, and again falls into the Leeds
Northern near Bilton ; but there is also a spur
southward toward Starbeck for the accommodation
of the York, Malton, and coast traffic via Knarea-
borough. Harrogate is, by means of this new line
of about four-and-a-half miles long, placed upon the
main line, and the two miles of omnibus transit
from Starbeck thus rendered unnecessary. The
new station at Harrogate is handsome and commo-
dious, but at present High Harrogate has no direct
access to it. The works have been executed by
Mr. M'Cormick in less than two years.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER.
The directors of the company on Friday inspected
the works on the section of their Metropolitan Ex-
tensions from the junction at Battersea to Brixton
and Herne-hill. A special train conveyed the direc-
tors and their friends from the Victoria-station over
the new line to the Herne-hill-station. The sta-
tions and works np to the latter place are in a for-
ward state, and in every respect of the most sub-
stantial description. It was stated that this por-
tion of the line would be ready for traffic in about
two weeks from the present time. From the Herne-
hill station another section forks off towards Cam-
berwell, the Elephant and Castle, and /31ackfriars.
The works on this section between the Herne-hill
station and the Elephant and Castle are also in a
forward state, and it is expected that in the course
of three or four weeks it will be opened for traffic.
Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Crampton are the contrac-
tors. There is also a circular junction line in
course of construction for cutting off the angle
formed by these two sections, and at the same time
uniting with them at certain Points for facilitating
the conveyance of traffic between the City Exten-
sion at Blackfriars and the Victoria-station at
Pimlico.

SUPPOSED ROBBERY OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF
JEWELLERY.—Isadore Champion, a Frenchman, was
charged with being in possession of two gold bracelets and
a watch and chain, supposed to be stolen.
In the prisoner's possession were also found about 70
duplicates, all relating to jewellery of the value of, it is
said, about £3OO.

Sergeant Winters, 8 C, said that on Saturday afternoon
ho was called to a pawnbroker's (Mr. Luarnoore's) in St.
Martin's-lane, and told that the prisoner had offered some
jewellery in pledge, and on being asked some questions re-
specting them he ran away, but was brought back again by
an assistant, to whom he said they could do what they
liked with him. On questions being put to the prisoner in
French he said the articles were his own, and that about 18
days before he had pledged some other articles at the same
shop. In the prisoner's possession he found some dupli-
cates relating to jewellery and a gold watch and chain.
The prisoner gave the address No. 8, Yeoman-road,
Brampton, which he (the sergeant) found to be correct.
Mr. Albert read over the evidence to the prisoner in
French.

Inspector Silverton said he went to 8, Yeoman-road, on
Saturday evening, and in the prisoner's room found 60
duplicates all relating to jewellery, and some of the articles
were pledged recently.
Mr. Knox asked how long a time the pledging extended
over?

The inspector said from January to August. He wished
for a remand.

The prisoner said he came from France in April, and his
brother kept a restaurant, and that there were money mat-
ters between them, and his brother gave him the jewellery,
some of which ho had pledged at different times.
Mr. Knox granted a remand that inquiries might be
made into the prisoner's statement.
Mr. Wm. Wilson or Robinson, 4, Park-road, Haverstock-
hill, was fined 40s. ran unprovoked assault on a boy
named Benjamin Percival, in the employ of Mr. Castle,

TO lEEE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—It is to be hoped that the members who
have stood forward to oppose the so-called Night
Poaching Bill will, before Parliament rises, give
notice of their intention, at the earliest oppor-
tunity in the next session, severally to bring in
bills for the total repeal of the Game Laws.

Some member might likewise bring in a bill to
abolish all private hiring of the police. The poor
fellows have quite enough to do without this de-
gradation.
It is desirous that during the recess an Anti-
Game Law Society be formed, and communication
kept up with every county in England; and when
members again appear before their constituents
the nefarious scheme lately brought forward be
specially denounced, and measures be taken to upset
its bad tendencies.

Yours, respectfully,
CRO3I WELL.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING— (THIS DAY).
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held this day at the offices, Duke-street,
Westminster.

The Earl of Luean presided.

The report stated that the line had earned
£9,600 16s. 10d. during the past half year. Since
the opening of the extension to Claremorris the
receipts to the 30th June last reached £lO 9s. per
mile per week; this is encouraging, and must in-
sure the confidence already telt by the directors
of the future prospects of the undertaking. It is
proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of £5 per
cent. per annum on the £li2o paid up on the prefer.
ence capital, and also a dividend, free of income-tax,
at the rate of £2 per cent. per annum upon the
called up ordinary capital to the 30th of June last,
which will absorb £3,168 13s. 3d., and leave a ba
lance of £334 ss. 2d. t 3 be carried forward. The
directors will commence the Westport Extension
immediately on completion of the works to Castle-
bar, and are taking the necessary steps for that
purpose. If the importance to the interests of this
extension could ever be doubted, it is now esta-
blished, say the directors, by the obstinate resist-
ance of the Midland Company ; by every means in
their power, in defiance of all their obligations,
that company has given this company the most de-
termined opposition on every stage of the bill and
on every opportunity that offered. The referee has
declared the conduct of the Midland Company to
be a violation of the agreement between the two
companies, and the select committee of the House
of Commons refused them a hearing, determined
upon not countenancing such a breach of good
faith.

The report was carried unanimously.
Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the
proceedings terminated.

THE lIEALTH LONDON.

(From the Registrar G4eral's Report.)
The return that was published last week showed
a great increase of the mortality; the present return
discloses a further and very considerable increase.
In the last week of October the deaths in London
were 1184 ; in the firstikwo weeks of the present
month they rose successively to 1307 and 1429; in
the week that ended lastiSaturday they were 1559.
In those four weeks the 4ean temperature of the air
was 46.8 deg., 44.9 deg.; 7.3- deg., and 38.3 deg.
In the corresponding week of 1858 the deaths rose
to 1802 subsequently to and during a very cold
period.
The average number of deaths in the correspond-
ing weeks of 10 years (1852-61) becomes, after cor-
rection for increase of population, 1436 ; and the
deaths in last week were, therefore, 123 in excess of
the number that would have been returned if the
average rate of mortality had ruled.

The deaths from pulmonary diseases, exclusive of
phthisis, in the last four weeks were, respectively,
183, 197, 283, and 350_ Those from phthisis in the
same times were 119, 152, 166, and 177. Those from
whooping-cough and scarlatina, which was returned
in 106, also exhibit an increased mortality.
Pneumonia was not quite so fatal last week as it
was in that which preceded it ; bat the deaths by
bronchitis rose from 130 to 186.

Measles was recorded in 7 cases in the district of
St. Saviour, Southwark, in 8 in Bermondsey. Scar-
latina was fatal in 6 cases in the Kensington Town
sub-district. A man, aged 72 years, died at 8, Prim-
rose-street, Bishopsgate. A coroner's jury considered
that the cause of death was probably want of suffi-
cient nourishment.

Last week the births of 1,000 boys and 885-girls,
in all 1,885 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 185261
the average number (corrected) was 1838.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.029
in. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on
the first five days. The reading rose to 3025 in.
on Monday, and it fall to 29.66 in, on Saturday.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was
38.3 deg., which is 4 deg. below the average of
the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.
Glaisherj. The mean daily temperature was below
the average throughout the week. The highest day
temperature was 47.3 deg. on Taesday ; the lowest
night temperature was 30.6 deg. on Saturday. On
Thursday also, the thermometer fell below the freez-
ing point of water. The range of temperature in the
week was 16.7 deg. The mean daily range was
10.3 deg. On Wednesday the range was only 3.9
deg. The difference between the mean dew-point
temperature and air temperature was 3.3 deg. The
mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, complete
saturation being represented by 100. The wind was
in the north-east till Saturday, when it changed to
north-west. The rain meesured was only the hun-
dredth part of an inch. The mean of the highest
temperatures of the water of the Thames was 43.1
deg. ; that of the lowest was 41 deg.

THE GLASGOW MURDER CASE.

The circumstances of the murder of
MTherson in Glasgow must be fresh in the reco
lection of our readers. Of course, the guilt lay be
tween the woman M'Lachlan and the old man
Fleming ; and when Sir George Grey felt it to be
his duty to respite the convict the general impres-
sion was that evidence had been adduced at the
private inquiry to criminate old Mr. Fleming. The
agents for that gentleman have applied to the Home
Office, complaining of the imputation thus impliedly
thrown on Fleming, and requiring a fresh investi-
gation. To this the following answer has been
returned:—

The result satisfied Sir Geo. Grey that the whole facts
relating to the case had not been submitted to the jury at
the
trial, and that sufficient doubt did exist on the point
whic
• h I have mentioned to justify him in recommending a
commutation of the sentence to penal servitude for life.
"But the result of the inquiry was far from removing
all uncertainty, nor could it be justly held to fix a share of
the guilt on any other person, especially when such person
was not represented at the inquiry.
" With reference to your present request, it is not in Sir
G. Grey's power to direct a judicial inquiry to be held into
the guilt or innocence of any person not charged with any
offence, especially when, as in the present case—according
to what he is informed is the law in Scotland—the person
on whose behalf you make the request having been exa-
mined as a witness in a criminal trial cannot afterwards be
subjected to a criminal prosecution in respect of the matter
of such trial.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) "G. CLIVE.
" Messrs. Smith and Wright, 99, St. Vincent-
street, Glasgow."

The agents complained that this communication
was unsatisfactory, and renewed their demand for
a fresh inquiry ; but the Home Secretary abides by
his decision.

KING OTHO OF GREECE.

The Pays gives the following resume of the events of
King Otho's reign :--
Since 1830 the regal rower of King Otho, which had been
imposed upon Greece by the powers, has never ceased from
being called in question. Received from the beginning
with coolness, it has never been able to take deep root in
the national soil. Thus, for 30 years it has only been
supported through revolutions and conspiracies. Two years
had hardly elapsed since the proclamation of King Of ho I.
as , Regent of Greece, when in March, 1834, a conspiracy
was discovered, the aim of which was to overthrow the
Regency.
On the Ist June, 1835, Otho, then of age, took into his
own hands the reins of Government.
In 1837, two years afterwards, another conspiracy was
discovered, which was planned with the intention of modi-
fying the basis of the Government.
In 1840 a fresh conspiracy, which had no result.
In 1843, on the contrary, the popular rising was
triumphant, and imposed a change of ministry on the
King. _

In 1844 the political constitution of the kingdom under-
went a change, the result of three insurrections simulta-
neously from three different points.

In 1847, 1848, and 1849, fresh movements took place.
In 1850 the Minister, Korfiotakis, was assassinated by his
political enemies.
In 1852 there was a conspiracy against the King's life.
In 1854 occurred the military insurrection of Karaiska,
In 1860 some disorders arose in several places, and a con-
spiracy was discovered.
In 1861 an attempt was made on the life of the Queen.

In 1862 the insurrection of Nauplia occurred.
Such are the revolutionary phases through which the
reign of Otho I. has passed, to arrive at the catastrophe
which has for its highest result—his irrevocable fall.

The Cape Argus states that Dr. Livingstone
covertly blames the missionaries for the conflict that oc-
curred, says that " fighting with the Ajawa put them all in
a false position," and at the same time condemns them for
having retreated from Magomera to avoid a further colli-
sion. The following is a passage from a letter of Dr. Living-
stone to Sir Thomas l‘laelear, dated Shupagna, June 21,
1862 :—" I am sorry that the missionaries turned tail, but,
under the circumstances, it was perhaps well. They want
an energetic head. Mr, Proctor .•• • • ' is
a
but fight-
good and sensible man, with sufficient firmness ;
ing with the Ajawa put them all in a false position. They,
however, believe that in so doing they acted rightly, and
it
is of great importance that their consciences approve all
they did."

THE WALKER COLLIERY BXPLOSION.

During Sunday night and the early part of Mon-
day the greater nnmhpr of the carcasses of the horses
were got out of the pit. They were very much in-
jured, and some of them presented a shocking ap-
pearance. No examination of the pit has as yet
been made to ascertain the cause of the accident, but
it will no doubt be effected before the inquest is
held. Twelve of the deceased were buried on Mon-
day afternoon, in the churchyard adjoining Walker
Church, by the Rev. C. Thompson, assisted by the
Revs. W. Parker, E, Shortt, and S. Atkinson, of
Newcastle. fwo more of the bodies were taken to
Benton Churchyard for interment, and the remain-
ing two were interred yesterday morning. There
were a number of spectators present to witness the
interment of the unfortunate men at 'Walker.
The Rev. C, Thompson, the respected incumbent
of Walker, visited the families of the deceased on
Saturday. He found an almost universal feeling
of resignation amongst the bereaved, acid there
was a general expression of thankfulness that
the calamity was no worse. It appears that
nearly all the men killed were old sober " hands,"
while most of them were pious and devout
men. One of them, a deputy, called Martin Fartkin,
engaged in prayer with his wife just before leaving
for the last time and prayed that if they were never
to meet again in time, they might meet again in
eternity. Mr. Thompson has ascertained that there
are eight widows, and as the sum which they may
receive from the owners of the colliery will be in-
sufficient for the support of themselves and their
families, their sad case is commended to the
charitable.

A BURGLAR SHOT BY A LADY.

A Health to Mrs. Norman.

In a capacious measure,
Happier than any Mormon
Ho that owns that one treasure
In bed her babe she tended,
When crash, 10, glass went breaking,
Down-stairs, and she descended,
A charged revolver taking.
There loomed a ruffian figure,
At whom the brave beholder
snapped—drew again the trigger,'
And shot him through the shoulder.
Oh I well her liege lord may be
Right proud of such a jewel,
Its milk who first gave baby,
And then the thief his gruel.

What burglar now dares wake her?
Heroic wife and mother !
Would every brute housebreaker
May meet with such another I

The G

'ivic Tribunal of the Seine gave judgment
he day before yesterday in a suite brought by a M. Bock,
he owner of a house in the Cite Trevise, against the Min-
ster of State, to recover compensation for the damage done
to his premises by the fire which occurred in July, 1861, in
the magazines of the Opera in the Rue Richer. The
counsel for the plaintiff maintained that the fire had been
caused by the imprudence of the workmen employed by the
Administration of the Opera, and that they had virtually
admitted their responsibility by indemniffing several. per-
sons whose furniture had been burnt at the sametinie.isTh

origin of the fire, the plaintiff had failed to prove
.s plea.
There were several houses which ad sufferance windows
looking towards the premises where the fire occurred, and
the plaintiffs' was one of them. It was very possible that
the fire was occasioned by a lighted paper imprudently
thrown from one of these windows. Taking this view of
the case, the Tribunal decided that the plaintiff had failed
to prove that the fire was caused by the imprudence of the
persons employed by the Opera, and accordingly rejected
his demand witli costs.
