INCENDIARISM IN YOI?KSTIIRE.

Another very destructive stackyard fire burnt through.
out Monday at the " High Barn," on Dent Hills, on the
farm of Mr. Henry Speck, of Boythorpe, in the great
Weld valley, resulting in the total destruction of the
property. There was no water, and the case was one in
which the fire could only be allowed to burn itself out
It gems that on the Saturday a steam thrashing-
machine had been in use, and that at night part of
a large wheat stack remained unthrashed, and
this with other stacks were to be completed on Monday.
The wheat remaining was estimated at forty to
fifty quarters, and the yard also contained barley and oat
stacks, the produce of the upper section of the farm, and
there were two quarters of wheat in sacks which had not
been got away on the Saturday. All was right on the
Sunday, but on Monday morning a labourer residing
in a cottage on another farm, having a child ill, got up
about three o'clock and saw the fire. He gave the alarm,
but before anything could be done the thrashing-
nachine was totally burnt, and had communicated the
ire to the straw, and thence to the stacks, so that all that
•emaincd at night was a heap of dust. The engine was
raved unharmed, and some 'few moveable farm propel ties
were rescued. The engine and thrashing machine were
the property cf F. Patrick, cf Weaverthorpe, and were
quite new, and had only been sized in the valley a few
weeks, but had received very great patronage. From the
inquiries of Mr. Superintendent Harper there would seem
very little doubt but that the fire was the result of a trade
outrage, intended to destroy the new machine. The owner
was not insured. A subscription was set on foot towards
covering his losses by the dastardly act. The farm produce
was insured.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 15s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in
London.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days sight was 1071 per cent. on the I 9th inst. At this rate there
would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United
States.

We regret to have to announce that Mr. George
Peabody is lying very dangerously ill at No. 80, Eaton-
square.
Although Mr. Saxby may have been wrong in
expecting inundations in Great Britain on the 4th and sth
inst., he was right with regard to the other side of the
Atlantic, as the following report shows:—" On Monday
night, Oct. 4, Sackville, New Brunswick, was visited by a
tremendous gale and the highest tido ever known. Thou-
sands of tons of hay wero destroyed, and thousands of
cattle and sheep were drowned. The dikes on the marshes
aro all gone. The Eastern Extension Railroad track was
torn up for eight or ton miles, and the telegraph line con-
necting with the Cable and Halifax obliterated. The tide
rose to a great height, carrying away and destroying an
immense amount of property. Wharves were ruined,
barns and cattle swept away, bridges destroyed, &c."

The new appointed Consul-General for Frank-
fort-on-the-Maine, the Hon. William Prentiss Webster,
entered upon the performance of his official duties some
time ago, after an exeguatur had been granted him by
the Government of the North Gorman Union. Mr.
Webster, of Lowell, Massachusetts, is the brother-in-law
of General Benjamin Butler, whose law partner he was up
to the time of his appointment as United States Consul-
General.

THE SULTAN IN SUEZ

The voyage of the Sultan to Suez has been brought under
the notice of the Diplomatic Corps, and it may now be
looked upon as an official affair. The Sultan, it is supposed,
will leave Constantinople on the 12th of November. He
will be accompanied by the Grand Vizier and a numerous
suite, and escorted by a fleet of two divisions ; - ono,
consisting of ironclad vessels, will anchor at Port Said,
and the other, comprising corvettes and steam-vessels, will
follow in the wake of the Imperial yacht. On reaching
Suez the Sultan will be met by the Governor-General of
Hedjaz, and deputations from several provinces of Arabia,
who will come to pay their respects to the representative
of Islamism in the Ottoman Emperor, and at once achieve
a great political and religious demonstration.

able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend apon more children,

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
Balled the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
mnistanees, and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2e. 9d., and lle. each, in
every town in the kingdom.

be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have spru❑g up in consequence of the success of
Norton's Camomile Pills."

VUSSIA.,N RAILWAYS,

The Russians are making great exertions to extend their
railway system. At the beginning of the year an imperial
ukase directed that eight lines should be immediately con-
structed in consequence of a special report presented to
the Emperor by the military authorities. This report
pointed out that the neighbouring States wore much better
supplied with railways than Russia. If Prussia commenced
hostile operations she might employ four parallel lines for
the transport of her troops to the Russian frontier. Nor
aro these the only lines at her command. Thanks to
the network of railway lines connecting Posen, Stettin,
Breslau and ffresden the resources of Northern and Cen-
tral Germany could be readily brought to bear upon
Poland. Austria is not so well provided with railways as
Prussia, but she is rapidly supplying her deficiencies, and
in Eastern and Southern Hungary new lines are in pro-
gress which will materially strengthen her position with
regard to Russia. The Russian generals, in the report
referred to, consequently propose that Warsaw, their weak
point, should be connected by direct lines with the centre
and south of the Empire. They are also anxious
to have direct communication by steam between
the central provinces and the Crimea, Caucasus,
qnd the Baltic. Two more lines are recommended
with the view of facilitating the movements of troops
between East and 'West, so as to render the whole military
strength of the vast empire readily available for service. It
is remarked, as significant of the coolness existing between
Russia and Prussia that Prussia has declined to rencw the
extradition treaty which is just expiring, and which has been
in force with more or less stringency since the battle of
Waterloo. The great object which Russia has in view
under this treaty is the extradition of the Polish fugitives,
and their numbers may be guessed from the fact that dur-
ing a suspension of the treaty 6,000 persons escaped from
Russia into Prussia in two years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

TIIAMES.

A NICE ASSISTANT. —ArthinCiook, aged 23 years, a
labourer, of 12, Newby-place, Poplar, was brought before
Mr. Paget, charged with stealing three bundles of cigars,
the property of Mr. H. J. Marsh, the proprietor of the
Green Dragon public-house, in High-street, Poplar.
The prosecutor left his house in charge of the prisoner
while he was out for a short time on business, and told
him to help himself to as much bread and cheese and beer
as he required.

The prisoner helped himself to more thou he ought to
have done, and when Mr. Marsh returned he was some-
what inebriated. The prosecutor on looking about him
missed three bundles of cigars worth 10s., and at once ac-
cused the prisoner of taking them, at the same time re-
marking that he would not say anything about it if he
would return them. The prisoner said ho had only one
bundle of cigars, and took 50 from his pockets, which he
gave up.

A
police-constable named Haines, No. 330 K, was called
in, who went to the dwelling of tho prisoner and found
nearly the whole of the remainder of the cigars, which he
seized.

The prisoher pleaded guilty.
Mr. Marsh appealed to magistrate to be merciful to th•
prisoner on account of his previous good character and his
family.
Mr. Paget told the prisoner he had committed a very
serious offence in stealing 10s. worth of cigars while he
was in charge of the prosecutor's house; but as Mr.
Marsh had interoeded very strongly in his favour, he
should sentence him to one month's imprisonment with
hard labour only, which was a very inadequato punish-
ment the crime deserved.
London, England, 1869-10-27

THE EARL OF DERBY.

The Earl of Derby was tho subject of many a sermon
on Sunday. His supporters among the clergy eulogised
him highly to their congregations. The councils—
town and city—throughout the North are preparing
to pass records of the high admiration with which
they regarded the " distinguished statesman who
has just passed away, and to make expression of
participation in the sorrow felt by his lordship's
bereaved family." Liverpool in this matter leads the
van. Not only officially and by his own party is this
sympathy shown, but his political opponents in Liver-
pool have deferred all meetings out of respect to his
memory.

THE CHANCELLORS= OF OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
The Marquis of Salisbury is to have at least one
portion of the garment which has fallen from Earl
Derby's shoulders; there can be little doubt that he
will be Chancellor of Oxford University. Mr. Glad-
stone's name has been mentioned, only that he might
be declared impossible ; and neither Earl Stanhope
nor Earl Carnarvon carries with him the weight of
the great Conservative neer who opposes Mr. Disraeli's
London, England, 1869-10-27

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Buckstone has commenced his winter cam-
paign most successfully, the new drama, " New
Men and Old Acres" having been received with
the greatest enthusiasm. The play is well written
throughout, the characters all excellently drawn,
aud, it is almost needless to say, owing to the
known ability of the Haymarket company, admi-
rably supported. The approval the piece
met with on its first representation at Liver-
pool has been fully ratified by a discri-
minating London audience, and Mr. Buckstone has
secured a piece and a character too that will prove
an immense attraction. The play relates to the
scheming of a purse-proud parvenu to obtain the
possession of the estate of a reduced gentleman, but
in which the man made of money is frustrated by'
the plain and straightforward dealing of a true
friend of the old family. Mr. Buckstone sustains
the character of the vulgar, scheming Mr. Bun-
ter with the greatest ability ; in fact, the
consummate art with which the character is
rendered is beyond praise. Mr. Chippendale ued
Mr. Howe have each capital parts, and Miss U.
Robertson fully sustains the high position she has
taken in the dramatic profession. The piece is
placed on the stage with the greatest taste and com-
pleteness, and altogether it forms an entertainment
worthy of the high reputation of the Haymarket
Theatre, and one which wilt assuredly attract de-
lighted audiences for months to come.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

TIIE WOOD-GREEN MURDER.

Frederick Henson, 30, was placed at the bar to
take his trial for the wilful murder of William
Douglas Boyd and Maria Death, at Wood-green
on the 4th of October.
Mr. Kenedy applied for the postponement of the
trial till next session, on the ground that there had
not been sufficient time to prepare the defence.
Mr. Justice Keating said the facts of the case ap-
peared to be very clear and plain, but in so grave a
charge he thought that every opportunity ought to
be afforded for the defence. He therefore con-
sidered that he might accede to the application.

GLOBE THEATRE.

Whatever might have been the original intention
of the author of the new comic drama " Not such
a Fool as he Looks," one thing is quite certain, its
production at the Globe Theatre will prove a great
and deserved success, as it introduces the talented
author to the Metropolitan playgoers as an actor,
and that, too, of the highest ability. 'We certainly
cannot regret that the part of Sir Simon Sin3Ple
has not fallen into other hands ; on the al'
trary, it gave us unmixed satisfaction and delight
to witness the finished and highly-elaborate
rendering of it by the author. In saying this it le
our desire to award to Mr. Byron our highe6t
praise, and that too not iu a qualified manner, but
in a fair, candid, and thoroughly independent Elcafi
rit, in a manner that gives us great pleasure, and
in a way in which Mr. Byron may not attribute
either flattery or partiality. The production of the
piece has given to us a new actor, one posses:
sing the highest qualifications, and one who,
.1
it be his intention to remain on the stage, Wll,
eventually become the best light comedian ();
the day. It is only a matter of regret he has De
sooner gratified the metropolitan public; but ncl'i
that he has, he may rest assured they will not will-
ingly part with him. The piece as a composition
is perhaps not devoid of blemish and instPr°_,-
babilit y; but that need not be regardeu,,.
because many pieces, and very successful ones
too, stand in the same category. It is encl.l°
..
that it is admirably acted in all its parts, it is tastes
fully put upon the stage, and its performance gore
as we have said before, unqualified pleasure and aee
light. We congratulate Mr. Sefton Parry 00 for
success of the piece, and he has our best wishes le
the continued prosperity of the Globe Theatre.

MACCABE'S ENTERTAINMENT.
Mr. Frederic Maccabe has commenced a s-e
brt
series of farewell entertainments, at the EgYPti3ll,4
Hall, previous to his departure on a lengtheae:
tour. His entertainment up to the present has 5t
tracted large audiences, and doubtless it will con-
tinue to do so until he has been compelled to 55'
farewell.

ROYAL MUSIC HALL.
A new nautical entertainment is now beng give/Ilb
here, which is of the most pleasing description•
is entitled " Britannia," and c.msists of a verY !Ica
cellent melange of all the best and most celebrate
sea songs that have for years delighted the lover
English harmony. Mr. P. Corri, the Ingsicno
director, has capitally selected the musical 1)014%.
of the entertainment, and it would be surprisll)s
indeed if it did not give the most unbnunclat',
satisfaction. The proprietor, Mr. Sweasey, i 8
tbo
tiring in his endeavour to secure novelties of the
best character for his numerous patrons, and 0a
applause that nightly is evoked from the large I/110
delighted audiences must convince him that
exertions have been successful, and that they
highly appreciated.

KING'S LYNN.

Lord Claud John Hamilton, in his address to the
electors of King's Lynn, expresses himself " wholly
opposed to that policy of destruction which finds
favour in certain influential quarters at the present
moment, and which culminated last session in tho
destruction of the Irish Church Establishment."
The candidate for the seat left vacant by Lord
Stanley's elevation hopes to be able to render good
service in the debates on the land question which
may be expected next session. With respect to edu-
cation, he holds that the present system is capable of
improvement and extension, and will support any
measure to that end. Noticing that last year the
Hon. Robert Bourke, the other Conservative candi-
date with Lord Stanley, defeated Sir T. Fowell
Buxton by only 1,125 votes against 1,012, the Daily
Neics entertains a hope that there may be a close con-
test for the vacancy.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MATRIMONIAL SQUABBLES.—Mrs. Sarah Ann Weaver,
wife of Mr. Alfred Weaver, carver and gilder, of No. 116,
Wardour-street, Soho, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt
on a warrant by Herring, one of the warrant officers,
charged with assaulting her husband.
The complainant, an elderly man, said that on Monday
last, on going to his lodgings in Hollen-street, the pri-
soner, who was constantly in the habit of knocking him
about, set to and struck him several times, and while at
tea at a later hour in the day she again knocked him about
and yesterday, while passing the Middlesex Hospital, she
came up to him and again assaulted him, and he had to
take advantage of a large crowd which collected to run
away. He had had her imprisoned before for assaulting
him.

The defendant said her husband was in the habit of
striking her, and she was in the habit of striking him. On
Monday he knocked her down, and she frequently had
black eyes. She would admit she was somewhat in fault,
and was sorry for it.

A lad in the complainant's employ proved seeing the
defendant take up things to throw at the complainant, and
a son of the complainant's said that on Monday last he
saw the defendant knocking his father about with a pillow.
In reply to the Magistrate, the last witness said that the
defendant got drunk every day, and that his father took a
glass sometimes but did not get drunk.
The defendant said that the last witness was the cause
of all the unhappiness which occurred between her and
her husband, and he had threatened "that when she came
out of quod ' he would get her six months."
Mr. J. Tyrwhitt ordered the defendant to find bail for
tix months.

The very extensive Distillery now being erected
at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of
Irish whisky, by Messrs. DUNVILLE Bc Co„ who have gained
a world-wide celebrity for their fine old Irish whisky, is to be
called "The Royal Irish Distillery."

ROYAL lIARRLIGES.

The King and Queen of Wiirtemburg are, it is said,
about to visit Munich, with the view of arranging a mar-
riage between the young King of Bavaria and the Grand
Duchess Maria Alexandrowna, of Russia, niece of the
Queen of Wiirtemburg. This alliance, which is believed
to have considerable political importance, has been
suggested since the announcement of the marriage of
Prince Charles of Roumania with the Princess Elizabeth
of Wied. It was formerly supposed that the Grand
Duchess was the destined Princess of Roumania.

Dn. TEMPLE.

----
The agitation against the Bishop Desicanate of
Exeter promises to die out utterly unless Dr.
rusey succeeds in galvanising it into life again.
the Advertiser—the great Low Church cham-
pion amongst the daily papers—gives up the
whole thing ; and soundly abuses the Dean
and Chapter of Exeter for preventing the in-
auguration in their own persons of " another era of
martyrs." Our contemporary looks about for a heresy
by which to stigmatise Dr. Temple. Eureka ! Dr.
Temple has preached that heathenism—though bad
In itself—yet formed a part of the education of the
world towards a higher life. The teaching of this
" ficlion " "quite Unfits a man for the office of bishop."
Pusey also writes again on the subject. His
letter occupies more than a column of the Times.
The - rev. professor again speaks threateningly of
disestablishment on account of the appointment ;
and repeats the grave charge against the late
Head Master of Rugby that ho was the
means of teaching heresy in contributinc, towards the
" Essays and Reviews." Ile calls attentione to the
iffix to the first commendatory note of the book.
'he writers first disclaim responsibility as to the
writings of their fellows, and then go on :—" The
volume, it is hoped; will be received as an attempt to
illustrate the advantages derivable to the cause of
moral and religious truth, from a free handling in a
becoming spirit of subjects peculiarly liable to
niffer by the repetition of conventional language."
Now it is the spirit of the book to which Dr. Pusey
objects. One who does not object to it is (in the
Oxford Professor's opinion) unfit for the office of
bishop ; yet Dr. Temple thinks, according to the prefa-
tory note, that the subjects are handled in a "becoming
ipirit." "Seeing that the State presses such a man
upon the Church, the Church has no alternative but
to seek separation from her oppressors." "Corrup-
tion through our chief pastors must end in death.'
In a postscript, the rev. Doctor calls attention
to two heresies of the Bishop Designate.
First, he has said that had the revelation of Christ
been delayed till now it would have been hard for us
to recognise His divinity ; as the faculty of faith has
turned inward,i outer manifestations of truth have
become unacceptable. This first heresy which
amounts to a rejection of miracles if worked in this
Slav—is explained by a second—.-that Conscience is
the authoritative interpreter of Scripture, which Dr.
Pusey interprets to mean that Scripture is no longer
to guide.

Poßowing the Doctor's epistle is an amusing coin-
ounication from Dean I.3l'Neile. He refuses to join
"n the Temple opposition—not that he loves Temple
more, but Pusey less. He does not (he says out
bluntly) believe in Dr. Pusey's sincerity, because,
though the doctor had in his book on Daniel
mnounced his adherence to " definite truth," he
terwards abandoned it. Dr. Temple's is poison
(abelled properly. Dr. Pusey's is poison labelled
k syrup."
Earl Nelson also writes on the subject. He urges
hat Dr. Temple has never been shewn to have
)aught. heresy. He regrets the Bishops-Designate did

A heavy rain has been falling during the whole
of the morning, but has now ceased. Up to the
present hour no visible measures of precaution have
been taken, and there are no symptoms of a mani
festation. Everything leads to the belief that the
day will pass over peaceably.

WAGES AND CO-OPERATION IN THE IRON TRADE.

The.iron-workers in the North are decidedly im- I
proving their position, if improvement be the result
of higher wages. They succeeded only a short time
since in obtaining an advance of sixpence per ton_
this was higher than in any other district—and now
they seek one shilling per ton above the increased
sum of a few months back. That the required
"rise" will be obtained is not at all clear; so the
men are searching. for information, and intend to
establish co-operative firms. In the Wolverhampton
district the workers are demanding the "rise" which
their brethren are already enjoying—namely, of 6d. ,
per ton. They are likely to succeed. Their minds
are, nevertheless, also alive to the benefits of co-
operation. A concern has already been founded in
Wolverhampton, which contemplates the making of
iron from the pig up to the completed
sheet, all upon the principle of co-operation,
the proprietors subscribing £6,000 in shares of £1
each. It is to be called the Victoria Iron Company,
The works are being put up, the mills will be Fot
ready as early as possible, and the directors are hoping
that the forges may be completed " with all possible
dispatch." The ironmasters of South Staffordshire
generally are invited to co-operate with the prelimi-
nary directors "in bringing capital and labour into
harmony with each other, the principle of co-opera-
tion beim', the only effectual remedy against strikes
and locoouts, and the only opportunity afforded
the workman of getting the full profit upon his own
labour."

THE LIFEBOAT MEN AND THEIIt REMUNERATION.
Mr. Lewis, the secretary to the Lifeboat Institu-
tion, writes to the Times explaining the system of
rewards to lifeboat nen who risk their lives to save
those of others. They always receive from the insti-
teitign, Mr. Lewis Eva, 10s_. for day work and 20s.
