The British Association has carried on its labours
with zeal and assiduity, and they are now winding
up with festive assemblies. The Mayor gave a
bancpiet to the members of the Association on Mon-
day, at which some interesting speeches were made.
Sir E. BELCHER made some appropriate_ remarks in

responding on behalf of the navy, and said that in

foimer days their ships were hearts of oak, and were
built at the sea-side, but that now the good people
of Birmingham know a great deal more about
" their iron walls than they did themselves." He
went on to say in an amusing manner that if asked
how they liked the change, they would say that
they did not like it at all, for the iron ships
prevented them from distinguishing themselves.
" If they took an enemy's ship they could not board
her, and when they were sick of firing at one ano-
ther,-they could just head off and look at each
othg,rl" Lord STANLEY returned thanks for the
House of Com Mons, and after liaYing a tribute to
the:merits of Lord HOUGHTON, who. was present,
and who, as an ex-member of that assembly, might
have taken the office upon himself, .the noble lord
proceeded to make some observations on the
character of the House, which were distin-
guished for their truth and discernment. No-
thing, indeed, is more worthy of notice than
the capabilities which the House displays as
a body for finding out who is worthy of attention in
debate and who is not, and Lord STANLEY spoke on
this subject with the experience of seventeen years.
The noble lord afforded considerable amusement by
his definition of those wonderful orators, who are
supposed to be able to take the House by storm, but
who never succeed in commanding the applause of
listening senates. These fluent speakers, he said,
were supposed to possess a great command of lan-
guage, whereas it would be truer to say that " lan-
guage has great command of them, because they
have about as much command of it as a man has
of a runaway horse." These heroes are left to
declaim to empty benches, and, on the other hand,
some man, who, perhaps, Speaks in an uncouth and
awkward fashion, gains the attention of four or five
hundred members, because, as is here
stated, ho really seeks to contribute some
new idea to the discussion that is going
on.
This shows that there is great justice in the jnag_
ments of the ifouse, and whenever its verdict is
pronounced for or against the ability and position
of a man aspiring to come forward prominently in
public life, it may be implicitly relied on, and the
public may fearlessly endorse it.
It is well known that Lord STANLEY has always
been in favour of " competitive examinations," and
011 this occasion he observed, with great truth, that
the House of Commons itself is a ccmpetitivc exa-
mination. Some years ago when people tried to put
down these attempts, it was said with a sneer,
" Why confine this system to clerks, and why not
have it for Chancellors of the Exchequer and for
Secretaries of State ?" The noblelord remarked that
his answer was then as it would be now, that
no one can possibly attain a leading position in the
House without having to go through some
such an ordeal as that referred to. A
career in the House is a trial of many things—it
is a " trial of physical strength and endurance, a
trial of patience and temper ; it is a trial of readi-
ess, of thorough and accurate knowledge, and,

last and chief of all, it is a trial of common sense
and knowledge of the world:" A better definition
could not possibly be given of the requirements
of a member, who seeks to do something more than
call himself one, and those who aspire to success or
eminence had better heed the warning of Lord
STANLEY, and reflect that if he fails in any of the
particulars above cited, but more especially in the
last, he will not do for the House of Commons if he
should get anywhere else a seat. There is indeed no
royal road to distinction in that assembly any more
than there is to learning. None can deny the truth
of Lord STANLEY'S remarks, that there never was a
popular assembly in the world that commanded so
much respect, and exereised so much power as the
English House of Commons. This is in part a
universally acknowledged thing ; it is felt by all
classes at home, and assented to by all nations
abroad, from tho despot who shrinks from its com-
ments to the races struggling for freedom, who
both want its sympathy and wait for its approval.
Lord STANLEY represented the chief cause of this
power very fairly, when he said that it was because
there never had existed in the world a " legislative
body whose component parts were thoroughly inde-
pendent in social position and feeling." This is
precisely the secret of its security and strength, of
its success, and, what is of far greater consequence,
its services for good and greatness to thepeople. The
greatmajority of the House, as the noble lord said, is
composed of men who have nothing to fear or to gain
from a Minister, and therefore they could " follow
a Minister without servility, and oppose him without
asperity." It is only perfect independence that can
secure the respect of the public, and enable any body
of men to do their duty to society, and the House
of Commons, by preserving this inestimable privi-
lege intact and inviolate, has conferred a benefit and
a blessing on its generation, and as such it will be
prized and estimated by all succeeding ones, for, as
Lord STANLEY remarked, there is no reason to fear
that the house will ever lose the position it now
holds in public opinion.

TO TILE EDITOR OF TKE Stilt

The opening of another Industrial Exhibition

has given Lord BELPER the opportunity of making a
sensible and kindly speech on the mental position
of the working classes. As lord-lieutenant of the
county of Nottingham Lord BELPER presided at

[l6 inauguration of the Midland Counties Art and

Industrial Exhibition, held in Nottingham yester-
day. His lordship, after remarking on the wonderful
progress of invention, and the goigeous display
presented by the great International Exhibitions of
1851 and 1862, observed that these industrial exhi-
bitions„ belonged to a different class. The term

" working-classes" could not be said with propriety
to be exclusively applied to any one class,
since all men had their duty to perform
and must work hard at it if they wished to dis-
charge it faithfully. But the chief thing which
struck him in these exhibitions was that they proved
that our mechanics and artisans were not exclusively
absorbed in the routine of their daily labour.
ADAM SMITH, many years ago, had spoken of the
engrossing nature of mechanical toil, and had
declared that too often a man's dexterity in his
particular trade seemed to be acquired " at the
expense of his intellectual, social, and mental vir-
tues." Lord BELPER very truly said that if this
was a true picture of the working classes sixty years
ago it was certainly very incorrect now ; and
the very progress of machinery has itself been an
education. ADAII SMITH'S assertion, that the
'uniformity of a mechanic's or tradesman's life
renders him alike unfit and unwilling to defend his
country in time of war, has been sufficiently
answered by our bodies of Volunteers. The mental
training which these exhibitions indirectly confer is
no unimportant part of their good effects. An
artisan, looking round on what men like himself
have done, feels impelled to try whether he cannot
use something besides his chisel or his spade. They
form a new and interesting feature in our social
life, and, as they combine intellectual and artistic
instruction with recreation, they especially commend
themselves to the sober and practical Englishman.

STATE OF TRADE


Those who followed with interest the comments
of the French press upon the recent international
fetes will remeniber that special reference Was made
to the honour paid in England to the memory of a
distinguished Frenchman, Lieut. BELLOT, whose

statue occupies a conspicuous position in the grounds
of Greenwich Hospital. Well deserved that tribute
at the hands of Englishmen, for he lost his life in an
English Arctic expedition, and the immediate cause
of his death was his attempt to save the
lives of some English sailors. His very presence
in those latitudes was dictated by the most
chivalrous feeling, since he had volunteered
his service's on behalf of the search for Sir
Jourt FRANKLIN, and his death was deeply
lamented in this country. His counirymen have
just done equal honour to an Englishman whose
services were rendered not to one nation in particu-
lar, but to the world at large ; not to the men
of one epoch, but to the whole human race.
While this enlarges his claims on the general
gratitude it does not render the compliment which
France pays to England less graceful or less pointed,
for it is not France alone who has profited by
the labours of Dr. JENNER, nor was it in
France that he pursued his studies. Not
until 1800 was the beneficent discovery made
which so greatly curtailed the powers of the scourge
of the eighteenth century, made known across the
Channel owing to the war. The first pause in the
hostilities was taken advantage of by two of the
followers of Dr. JENNER, and earnest advocates of
the system. Drs. WOODVILLE and NOWELL
crossed over to Boulogne, and succeeded in
speedily convincing the medical profession and
the inhabitants of the efficacy of vaccination, both
as a preventive and a cure ; a cure, at least, in so
far that it greatly diminishes the risk and virulence
of the disease, and obviated in a great measure the
consequent disfigurement. France has now shown
that she has not forgotten these philanthropic
efforts by breaking through the general rule that
each nation must only commemorate its own great
men. This narrow and selfish theory is now, we
hope, laid aside, at least in countries so highly
civilised and so intimately united as France and
England. As a general rule in matters of science,
invention, or philanthropy, he who benefits the
one confers an advantage on the other ; and if
honour to thean memory and liberal men are inclined to do
of a public benefactor,
it is right that no
national prejudice, no
petty jealousy, should be suffered to stand in
the way. So far back as the yQar 1857 the
Societe des Sciences Industrielles at Paris con-
sidered a proposition that France should erect a
statue to the memory of Dr. JENNER. They
resolved to carry out the idea , and, as to do so it
was necessary to obtain the sanction of tmheGe
a Govern-
ment, ment, the compliment passed from a mere
expression of feeling to a national tribute. It was
decided, of course, that the statue should be raised
in Boulogne-sur-bier, both because that city was
the scene of the English doctor's first experiment,
and also because. it' vas situated in so great a
thoroughfare between England and the Con-
tinent. The French were naturally desir-
ous that Englishmen should se.: the statue, ]

and the offer of the gift having been
gladly accepted by the municpality, under M. ADAM
the preparations went on prosperously. On Mon-
last the statue was unveiled with due pomp and
ceremony, in the presence of several members of the
Paris Societe, the legislative functionaries connected
with Boulogne, the local authorities, the municipal
council, and, as a matter of course, a large body of
French and English residents. .The bands of the
commune and the various companies who, in their
dress de fête, give such a gay and animated appear-
ance to the streets of a French town, were also pro-
minent in the procession, which passed with great
state from the Hotel de Ville to the Place des Bains,
where the statue was finally erected. The statue,
which is the work of M. PAUL, who nobly declined
any remuneration for his labour, stands on a pedestal
12 feet high and measures 10 feet. It is of bronzed
iron, the right foot placed over the word " Angle-
terre," and the left over the word "France." On
the pedestal is inscribed "A EDWARD JENNER, la
France reconnaissante 11th September, 1865." M.
le Marquis DE PLANTY, who made a short address
on the occasion, observed that it would be impossible
for any Englishman to pass through Boulogne
without appreciating the honour accorded, as well
to Dr. JENNER as to the British nation. Such a
demonstration as this will go far to cement the
entente cordiale now subsisting between the two
nations ; and it emphatically proves that France is
not dazzled by military glory alone, but is capable
of valuing at their true rate the nobler and more
enduring victories of science, philanthropy, and
civilisation.

MANCHESTER, Sept. 12.—Since Friday last our
market for yarns and cloths generally has been
quieter, though there has been little disposition on
the part of sellers to make any abatement in price,
most of the producers being now well under contract,
and unwilling to take new offers which are not of an
advantageous character. To-day the shipping
market for yarns has been very strong, and we have
had a fair amount of business doing at the extreme
prices of last week. Spinners of these yarns are so
deeply under contract that they will listen to nothing
like concession in price, and buyers find great diffi-
culty in many instances in obtaining suitable yarns
for the respective markets. The market for home-trade
yarns has been very steady, but there has not been
much business effected. There is no change of prices
since last week, but this branch of the market is less
animated, and buyers appear more disposed to wait.
The cloth-market for some days past has been in-
fluenced by the quitcr tone of the Liverpool cotton-
market, and buyers have been less willing to operate
than they were last week. The fully engaged posi-
tion of manufacturers, however, has quite prevented
any giving way in prices. To-day we have a fair
inquiry and some business, and for all classes of
goods sellers hold steadily for last week's prices,
showing little disposition to make concession, though
buyers have made lower offers. Where manufac-
turers have to seek orders, prices are against them,
but as a class producers are well engaged. Messrs.
John Slagg and Co. report this day's cloth-market
as follows :—" Since Friday our market has been
rather quieter, in sympathy with Liverpool, but there
has been no quotable change in values. To-day the
inquiry is pretty general, and, although the business
has been large, there is but little disposition to con-
cede in prices."
LEEDS, 12th.—There has been a moderate attend-
ance in the cloth-halls this morning, buyers as well
as sellers. Seasonable fabrics, including both heavy
goods and those of lighter make for ladies' wear,
were in fair request. Considering the stocks of new
goods offered in the halls, a satisfactory amount of
business has been done, and the condition and pro-
spects of the woollen trade throughout this district
are healthy. Prices keep firm, those of cloth as well
as those of wool.

NOTTINGHAM, 12th.—There was a very small at-
tendance at our Eichange-hall to-day, and the de-
mand for lace yarns was quiet, at nominally un-
altered rates. Hosiery yarns firm. Silks fully as
dear. There was not much doing in brown nets,
and prices have very little altered.
ROCHDALE, 11th.—To-day's flannel-market has
been quiet, and although some first-class men were
present there was but little buoyancy in the proceed-
ings. Both during the past week at the warehouses
and to-day in the market the only inquiries were
for printers and fancy goods, and in the plain de-
partment for flannels of the finer qualities. Some
small lots of the better kind of Yorkshire goods were
disposed of, but no business at all was done in the
lower qualities.

VISIT OF THE FYCHOW GIANT TO THE PRINCE
AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—Last evening Chang
Woo Gow, the Pychow giant, his wife King Foe, and his
friends and followers, including the singular Tartar
dwarf, Chang Mow, all of whom have recently arrived
in this country from China, had the honour of an interview
with the Prince and Princess of Wales and other royal
personages at Marlborough House. Mr. Marquis Chisholm,
Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Thomas Balding attended for the
purpose of introducing the Celestials and affording infor-
mation in reply to the questions of the royal party, which
included, besides the Prince and Princess of Wales, the
Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the Princess Hilda of Anhalt-Dessau, and the Prin-
cess Victoria of Hesse. The interview was one of curious
interest, the Chinese visitors being dressed in their state
robes, and observing towards English royalty the same
forms which would have regulated their approach to the
Emperor of China. Only once, at the desire of the Prince
of Wales, did Chang remove his hat, the motive of the re-
quest having relation only to the subject of Chang's extra-
ordinary height. The prince also desired Chang Woo Gow
to write his name on the wall of the room, and the giant
displayed an amusing readiness to deface the splendid de-
corations. The Princess of Wales was graciously pleased
to accept from Chang a letter of compliment, after the
Chinese fashion ; and Chung Mow, the dwarf, was per-
mitted to present the little Princess Victoria with his fan,
which a moment before he had been using in true Chinese
manner. The greatest pleasure was expressed with the
visit by all the members of the royal party.
THE ENTENTE CORDIALE.—M. Alfred Assollant
has an article in the Courier du Dimanche apropos
of the fetes at Cherbourg, Brest, and Portsmouth. The
following passage indicates M. Assollant's mode of treat-
ing the subject :—" Glory be to God, 'tis all over. The

Another noteworthy name must be added to the
necrology of 1865. A telegraphic despatch an-
nounces the death, on Monday night, at his chateau
of Prausel, of the famous General de Lamoriciere—
famous no less as a general than as a minister and
a representative of the people.
Christopher Louis Leon Juchault de Lamoriciere
was born of Legitimist parents at Nantes, February
5, 1806, so that he had not yet attained his 60th
year. From 1824 to 1826 he was at the Polytechnic
School, thence he was sent to the school of applica-
tion at Metz, and at length obtained a commission
in the engineers, starting for Africa as lieutenant
in the Algerian expedition. The Ist of November,
1830, saw him a captain, and from that time his
fortunes were brilliant, as his merits were distin-
guished. When the corps of Zouaves was formed
our hero joined it, and was remarkable for his in-
telligence and his audacity. In 1833 Gen. Avizard
gave him the direction of the " First Arab Bureau,"
and in the same year he became cef de bataillon of
Zouaves; then (December,lB3s) lieutenant-colonel;
colonel, November, 1837, after the siege of Con-
stantine, during which he was wounded by the explo-
sion of a mine. After a year in Paris (1839) he returned
to Africa in 1840, and distinguished himself at
Mouzaia, and was made marechal de camp. In 1843
he became lieutenant-general ; in 1844, comman-
dant of the Legion of Honour ; in 1845, ad interim
governor-general of Algeria.
Lamoriciere had passed through 18 campaigns in
Africa, and (June 5, 1841) deservedly received high
praise from Marshal Bugeaud after the affairs of
Tagdempt and Mascara. 1111844 he signalised him-
self at the battle of Isly, and in 1847 organised the
famous expedition which resulted in the capture of
the Emir, Abd-el-Fader, by the Duke d'Aumale,
his reward for which was his promotion to the rank
of grand officer of the Legion of Honour, Jan. 14,
1848.

Two years before this last affair, in 1846, Lamo-
riciere had been returned to Parliament by the
College of St. Calais (Sarthe) he had failed a
couple of months before in standing for the
Ist arrondissement of Paris. He joined the ranks
of the Opposition, and was proposed.as Minister of
War in the combinations of which—Thiers, Mole,
and Barrot Were the guiding' spirits. On the
memorable 24th of February, 1848, Lamoriciere
appeared on the scene of the revolt in the uniform
of a colonel of the National Guard, and proclaimed
the abdication of the King and the Regency of
the Duchess of Orleans. His horse was killed
and he was wounded—in fact, he was only saved
from certain death by some workmen more rational
than their comrades. Under the Provisional Go-
vernment he was offered the Ministry of -War, and
also the military command of the interior, but re-
fused both. lle was, however, re-elected sixth out
of twelve for the department of the Sarthe. During
the fearful days of June he warmly supported
CaSraignac, and put down the insurrection at the
Faubourg Poissoniere and at the Bastille. From
June 28 to December 20 we find him Minister of
War—the most moderate of the Democratic party,
an eloquent speaker, and an intelligent practical ad-
ministrator.

Lamoriciere did not oppose the Emperor in his
candidature for the Presidency ; but he disap-
proved of the intervention in Italy. He was re-
elected for the Sarthe, and elected also for the
Seine, and accepted a special mission to Russia in
relation to the affairs of Hungary, but arrived at
St. Petersburg after the fall of the Hungarian na-
tionality had rendered his mission of no avail. He
is said to have got on well enough with the Em-
peror Nicholas, but the news of the advent to power
in France of Odillon Barrot and his friends deter-
mined him to return home at once. He opposed
(June 14, 1851) the revision of the Constitution,
and (November 17) voted for the project which
was to give to the Assembly the command of
the army. It is hardly necessary to say after this
that he was one of those arrested on the memorable
2d of December, 1851. He was imprisoned for a time
in Ham, and thence he was conducted to Cologne.
He might have remained in France by taking the
oath submitted to him, but he refused.

He lived quietly in Germany, in Belgium, and in
England, till, in 1857, the death in France of one
of his children afforded the emperor a graceful op-
portunity of inviting the veteran to return uncon-
ditionally to France, and Lamoriciere was enabled
to pass his last year in his native country. It would
have been well if he had staid there instead of head-
ing the ridiculously abortive expedition of a few
zealots to defend the Pope from his own people.
The piety of a French general must have been of a
singularly pronounced kind when it led him to ruin
his reputation as a soldier for the sake of the Ponti-
fical cause. In his proclamation he actually com-
pared the " revolution" in Italy to Islamism. The
Italian Government were furious. Fanti and
Cialdini took Perouse, annihilated Lamoriciere's
army at Castel-Fidardo, besieged him in Ancona,
and forced him to capitulate. In his report of this
pitiful affair Lamoriciere complained of the decep-
tion practised on him, and the failure of the sup-
port which he was promised. He forgot that, high
as might be his own reputation, and brilliant his
own exploits at the head of his own national troops,
there was small chance of success for a body .of ill-
drilled, dispirited Italians combating their own
countrymen.

Latterly Lamoriciere has not been much before
the world. His last achievement was a quarrel
with Cardinal Antonelli, in which he defended the
French troops from the cardinal's strictures in

reference to their prosecution of the vagabond
brigands, whose existence is a scandal and a disgrace
to the Pontifical Government.

INHUMAN ATTACK UPON A MOTHER.—On Satur-
day night in the village of Holymoorside, situate
about four miles from Chesterfield, a very brutal attack
was made on an old widow, aged 75, by a profligate son
who had been in the army, but was soon " drummed out."
On Saturday night he had been drinking at Chesterfield,
and his mother went to fetch him. He went with her to a
publiehouse at Holymoorside, and had more drink there.
At a late hour ho went home with his mother, being ac-
companied by a woman with whom ho co-habited. They
had not been iu the house long before he knocked his
mother down, kicking her in a most frightful manner, and
she lay as though dead. On the following morning Drs.
Fould and Robinson were called in, and they found her
face one mass of cuts and bruises, her nose being smashed
to pieces. Several of her ribs had been knocked off the
spine, and the bone had penetrated her lungs. Her sides
were one mass of bruises. The surgeons gave no hopes of
her recovery, and the son was apprehended. Yesterday he
was brought before Mr. E. G. Maynard and Mi. G. Heath-
cote. Inspector Gorman stated that the surgeons had no
hope of the recovery of the woman, and he had to ask for
the prisoner's remand. Prisoner said both he and his
mother were "fresh," and he did not know that he had
done it. The Bench remanded him, and ordered the depo-
sitions of the poor woman to 1)e at once taken. Prisoner
has never done anything to support his mother, and she
has only been kept alive by parish relief.

A BRAVE MAN.—Mr. Joseph Cox, who is cox-
swain of the Appledore, North Devon Lifeboat, has
during the last forty years assisted in the lifeboat in saving
170 persons from various vessels wrecked on Bideford Bar.
Cox is now in his sixty-third year, but is still hale and
hearty. The secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution
visited the Appledore Lifeboat Station on Monday last,
when he found everything in excellent order, and reflect-
ing much credit on the brave old man. It is most interest-
ing to hear him narrate his hairbreadth escapes during
storms which appalled the lookers-on and even some men
of his own crew ; hut his daring and perseverance over-
came, under Providence, every difficulty. It sometimes
occurred that his crew became completely exhausted
before accomplishing their mission of mercy—the fierce
storm, the huge waves, and the intense frost com-
pletely paralysing them. Some four or five years ago his
crews were actually changed four times between the hours
of six in the morning and eight at night, when several
wrecks took place on the bar; but Cox never flinched for
moment ; he remained then, as on all previous occasions,
fixed to the lifeboat's helm. He has received every hono-
rary decoration which the National Lifeboat Institution
could confer on him, in addition to his salary as coxswain
of its lifeboat. He is also employed by the Trinity House
to lock after the buoys on Bideford Bar. His admiration
of the new lifeboat which the institution was enabled to
send to Appledore through the generosity of the late Rev.
F. W. Hope, about twelve months ago, is unbounded. He
admits that there is no sea that he would not face with the
boat. On the opposite shore, on Braunton Sands, the in-
stitution maintains another first-class lifeboat station. The
house there has been built on piles fixed in the sands, and
is far from any dwelling, if we except the lighthouse, which
is about a mile from it. Tho secretary of the National
Lifeboat Institution has recently visited nearly all the
lifeboats on the coasts of -Devon and Cornwall. He has
found the boats everywhere in excellent order, and their
crews thoroughly satisfied with them, and with the pay-
ments they so promptly receive from the parent institution
for their services.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF AN OFFlCER.—Yesterday
morning an inquest was held at the Queen Hotel,
Aldershot, before Mr. Spencer Clarke, coroner for North
Hants, on the body of Lieutenant John Emmett,' of the Ist
battalion, 17th Regiment. Patrick Sale, a private in the
Ist battalion, 17th Regiment, and servant to the deceased,
deposed that about 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon last the
deceased officer went out on his horse for a ride. When he
returned at 6 o'clock, witness noticed that the bridle rein
was broken, and on mentioning it to him he said he knees
it; his horse had shied at an object in the road, and in at-
tempting to pull him up the bridle had broken, and he had
fallen off flat on his back, He complained that his head
was very sore, but witness did not notice that he looked ill.
He took the horse from deceased, who walked to his hut.
The horse was a quiet one. Witness saw deceased again
half an hour afterwards ; he was fetched by the servant-
maid to go for medical assistance, and Assistant-Surged
Allen, of the regiment, came almost directly. In reply to
the coroner, witness said the bridle appeared sound when
he put it on in the afternoon ; it was a second-hand one.
The horse was cut about his hind-quarters and hoofs. Did
not know in which direction his master had been riding, or
whether any one had seen him fall. Assistant-Surgeon
Allen, M.D., cf the Ist battalion, 17th Regiment, said he had
known deceased about six years. His age was 44 years
and 8 months. Witness was sent for shortly before seven
o'clock on Saturday evening, and found him unconscious.
He had his head shaved, and discovered a small abrasion
of the scalp. He treated him for concussion of the brain.
He saw him frequently during the night, but he never
rallied, and died at half-past four o'clock on Sunda,'
morning. Subsequently ho had made an external exami-
nation of the body, but he found no marks of violence
beyond the bruise he had stated. His opinion was that
deceased died from concussion of the brain, which doubtless
was occasioned by a fall from his horse. After death 1181
taken place Mrs. Emmett told him that deceased said
directly he came in that he was much hurt, that the acci-
dent had taken place near Farnham, and that two men had
caught his horse for him after he was thrown. These men
could not be found. Deceased had walked a distance 12.'
300 yards from the stable to his hut after he had given his
horse to his servant. The jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental Death." The deceased had been 26 years 1a
the regiment, and had risen from the ranks. At the time
of his death he held the post of Instructor of Musketry.
THE WOLVERHAMPTON MURDER.—The coroner 's
inquest was resumed and concluded yesterday
.°ll.,

the girl, endeavoured to cut his own throat. He now 11
a patient in the Wolverhampton Hospital, where the in;,
quest took place. The jury proceeded to the bodside.
Robinson, and the depositions made at former exeunt'
tions were read over to him. He did not manifest the least
concern. He declined to make any statement. The jerl.
returned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisonert!
who was formally committed on
the coroner's warrant,
He is at present, although recovering, in too weak a stte,,,
to be removed.
