THE ALLEGED MURDER AT HOUNSLOW.

William Smith, 49, was indicted for the wilful
murder of Sarah Ann Smith, his wife. Ho was
also charged upon the coroner's inquisition with
the manslaughter of the same person. Mr. Cowper
conducted the prosecution with Mr. Biron ; Mr.
Littler defended.

The jury returned a 'verdict of 46 manslaughter."
Sentence deferred.
THE DEPTFORD MURDER.

Joseph Welsh, 27, painter,
---- --
was charged with
the wilful murder of John Abraham. The prisoner
was a carpenter, and had been
employed by the
deceased. As dispute arose between them as to
the payment for the work. A summons was taken
out in the County Court, but was dismissed. The
deceased offered to pay all that he fairly owed the
prisoner, but the prisoner was not satisfied, and
appeared to be very angry. After some alterca-
tion had taken place, he stabbed the deceased, in.
flicting a fearful wound, from which the bowels
protruded, and death took place shortly afterwards.
The jury returned a verdict of " guilty," with a
recommendation to mercy, and sentence of death
was passed in the usual form.

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
palled 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-
cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear 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 lls. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
' Norton's Camomile Pills."

DENMARK.

the Diet of Copenhagen, which was convoked at the
beginning of the month, to verify the elections of its mem-
bers, has been adjourned, after only two sittings, until the
end of November. This extraordinary adjournment is attri-
buted to the recent changes in the Cabinet, in consequence of
which the Ministers asked for time to prepare their measures.
Danish commerce has suffered from the disturbed state of
feeling in Europe, and the Customs returns shew a
decrease of 150,297 rigsdalers in the year. Jutland has
suffered most. The Schleswigers arc preparing an address
to the King of Prussia setting forth the national wishes.
The Prussian functionaries, irritated by the constancy of
the people to their old allegiance, keep up, the Danes say,
a system of petty persecution and annoyance.

CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES INTO DEBENTURE
STOCK.
The Directors are now prepared to enter into arrange-
ments for converting the Debentures of the Company into
equivalent amounts of Perpetual Four per Cent. Deben-
ture Stock, and also to receive applications for allotments
of the same Stock, at par. to be applied in the repayment
of Debentures falling due.
Any amount of Stock, not being a fraction of a pound,
can be slbscribed for and transferred.
A commission of 4 (one-half) per cent. is allowed to ap-
plicants, and the Stock will be inscribed in the Company's
books free of all expense.
The interest will be paid half-yearly on the 15th Jan-
uary and 15th July, by warrant.
The Stock thus raised will be entitled to the same
priority against the property and income of the Company
as the Debenture Bond Debt, ranking before the Com-
pany's entire Stock and Share Capital of Thirty Millions
(£30,000,000), and will be the first charge on a net income
now amounting to upwards of Three Millions (XE,000,000)
annually.
Further particulars and forms of application may be
obtained by letter addressed to the undersigned.

MR. ROEBUCK ON TIIE WORKING MAN.

Mr. Roebuck has been addressing the working men
of Dewsbury on the subject of education, and he
made a thoroughly characteristic speech. He was
not perhaps so bitter as of old ; indeed, his speech had
a kindly tone. But there was the usual egotism ;
the accustomed patronising air; the common shrewd-
ness of thought and argument. Ho claimed
that when most men were against him ho had advo-
cated compulsory education. He was abused then as
a tyrant, but now it is pretty clear that the
Government will step in and do what he advocated
so long ago. And he was in
.favour of the same
policy now—that the working man should be raised
to a gentleman ; not placed above his work, but rather
made happy in his present position. That might be
done by giving the artisan education ; by helping his
wives and daughters to obtain refinement ; and by
teaching him to respect himself and them more :
Why should not the ma. nors of the upper class
descend to the other classes ? Why should the man who
makes £2OO or £3OO a year by his mechanical labour be a
rude, coarse, brutal fellow ? There is no reason why he
should be so. Why should he not be like—aye, I win say
like a gentleman? Why should not his house be like my
house ? When Igo home from my labour what do I find?
I find a cheerful wife. I find an elegant educated woman.
I have a daughter; she is the same. Why should
not you find the same happy influences at home ?
I want to know when the working man comes from his
daily labour to his home, why ho should not find his table
spread as mine is spread ; why he should not find his wife
well dressed, cleanly, loving, kind, and his daughter the
same ; why he should not find his daughter and his wife as
I find mine? Depend upon it, if you could induce good,
kindly manners amongst you all, if you could be cere-
monious, gentlemen, to your wives, to your women—for I
will use that good old English phrase—you would be far
happier in your families.

OBTAINING PRIZE-MONEY BY FRAUD.

At the Old Bailey, on Wednesday, William
Bird, a ship's steward, and Charles Lake, a clerk, wore
indicted, the former with personating and assuming the
name of John Campbell, a person entitled to receive prize-
money, and the latter with assisting in the felony. Mr.
Forsyth, Q.C., and Mr. Poland prosecuted on behalf of the
War Department. Mr. Walpole, a clerk in the
India Office, deposed to Bird coming and saying
that his name was Campbell. Ire answered all
questions put to him in a satisfactory manner,
with one exception, and that was with regard to the ship
Campbell came heme in. This aroused witness's suspi-
cions, and after some further cenversation the prisoner
was given in custody. Re then said that the other pri-
soner gave him the letter, and told him that his (Lake's)
name was Campbell, and that person was taken into cus-
tody in St. James's Park. The prisoners, who were unde-
fended, were found guilty, and Lake was sentenced to five
years' penal servitude. A like sentence was passed on the
other prisoner, but the Judge remarked that as ho had
been incited to commit the offence by the other prisoner,
there would most likely be a remission of part of the
sentence.

ANOTHER COMMERCIAL STORY.

The liquidators of the Imperial Land Company of
Marseilles are preparing another tale of commercial
morality for the entertainment of the public. This
company was started in February 1866, just when
the limited liability mania was at its height. It was
floated by three London financial establishments, and
its capital of £1,600,000 was freely subscribed,
although warnings were uttered in various quarters.
The liquidators sum up the history of the company in a
single sentence. "Our investigations have led to the
astounding discovery that the promoters of this com-
pany, while professing to pay for the purchase of cer-
tain property in Marseilles the sum of £1,109,323, in
reality paid only £344,604, while the difference,
£764,719, found its way into the pockets of certain
persons from whom we, the liquidators, shall seek to
recover it." We ought to be astonished at nothing
in the way of trade ; but a fraud of three quarters of
a million on an expenditure of £344,000 is a novelty
even in these days.

RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

WHITE'S MO C-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 18C) is allowed by upwards of Five _Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is hero avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moc-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A

THE DISARMIAMIT QUESTION.

Mr. Richards, M.P., the secretary of the Peace Society,
has had many conferences with the Liberal party in
Prussia on the subject of disarmament, He made an
earnest appeal to them to take the initiative in this
matter, but he did not meet with a very hearty response.
The representatives of the party seemed to think that this
was a bad time "to fix upon for making the change, and
that the national welfare of Prussia was bound up with
her military policy. At any rate, the question is to
come before the Chamber, and the Liberal party will
discuss its merits. They will find themselves in a very
difficult position. They can hardly oppose the Progressists
with consistency at a time when all Europe is demanding
peace, when there is a deficit in the Prussian Budget,
and they know that the fate of the motion rests with
them.

CURIOUS CHARGE OF ARSON.

Mr. Justice Lush had before him on Wednesday
a most extraordinary case at the Central Criminal
Court. Charles Holden, a labourer, was indicted for
feloniously setting fire to three stacks of wheat, the pro-
perty of Matthovi Newman. It was proved that the pri-
soner was near the place just before the fire, and was
found afterwards with one of his eyebrows singed, and
was wet from top to toe, having fallen into a pond. When
apprehended he did not deny the offence or admit it,
simply saying that it was better to be in prison than starve.
The damage done amounted to nearly £5OO. The jury
found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced
to ten years' penal servitude. A man named Whitehood,
who had given himself into custody on the same charge,
and had pleaded guilty on the previous day, was brought
before the learned judge and ordered to remain in custody
till the next session, so that the state of his mind might
be examined into.

POLITICAL CRISIS IN SPAIN.

The Spaniards are just now lending a pleasing nte
of fluctuation between the frying pan and the fire.
The Government successfully opposed the Carlist
insurrection, and then defeated the far more
formidable Republican rising. Now the vic-
tors are quarrelling amongst themselves. The
monarchical, party, which rules, is composed of Pro-
gressists, Liberal Unionists, and Democrats, the first
led by Prim and the second by Serrano. A long
smouldering jealousy between these two parties has
at length broken into open antagonism, and a rupture
is imminent. The causes of the quarrel are the clergy
and their revenues, and the choice of a sovereign.
The former difficulty has been patched up for a
time ; but the latter still remains. It is notorious
that Marshal Prim, the Progressist leader, is diame-
trically opposed to the candidate for the throne who
has the favour of the Liberal Unionists.
London, England, 1869-10-28

THE ORACLE.

The Times at length makes the first definite step
in the diredion of pointinc, out a specific solution for
the land question. Its last 9 issue contains a guarded
intimation that the Ulster system of tenant-right, if
not in itself the solution of the tenure difficulty, con-
tains the materials out of which a settlement
can be formed. What the Irish most want
is security of tenure ; in the Ulster system
of tenant-right we have an example of
custom supplying the place of law, and reconciling on
the whole the interest of the tenant with the right of
the landlord. It is open to serious economical objec-
tions, and to legalise it pure and simple would be at
once "heroic and inadequate." "We do advocate,
however, a careful study of those deeply-rooted usages
exemplified by Ulster tenant-right, with a view of
founding a new code of Irish agrarian law on the
ancient structure of Irish agrarian custom." An
attempt on the part of the leading journal to form
public opinion, instead of following it, is at once novel
and gratifying.

A GRICULT URE.

Mr. ACLAND then rose to move for a select committee
to inquire into the actions, with reference to agriculture,
of various public authorities, with a ♦iew to consider the
expediency of recommending that some one department
be made responsible for dealing with administrative and
legislative questions affecting agriculture.

The motion for an inquiry was supported by Mr. Pell,
who thought the sewage question of itself justifiel it; by
Lord ITenl-y, who laid principal stress on the road ques-
tion ; and by Mr. Corrance and Lord F. Cavendish ; but
Mr. Newdegate, on the other hand, treated it as entirely
unnecessary.

Mr, BRIGHT, in reply, pointed out that agriculture
and trade were pretty much in the same condition of
having their interests looked after by different offices. This
was not a very defensible thing, but he doubted whether a
committee would discover so satisfactory a remedy as a
consultation of the heads of departments among them-
selves. Agriculture, however, in Mr. Bright's opinion, had
never less to complain of, and the notion of agriculturists
applying to either the Board of Trade or to the House of
Commons reminded him of the lady who sent for the doc-
tor "because she felt so well she was sure something was
going to happen to her." Sun and shower and industry
would do more for agriculture than Government or Legis-
lature, and his advice to farmers was to come as little as
possible to any Government office. The Home Secretary
was even now considering whether there could be any
interchange of functions between the different offices; and
if anything could be done in furtherance of the objects of
the motion it should be carried out.

Satisfied with this assurance, Ur. Acland withdrew his
motion.

Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN bronght iu a scheme for remedy-
ing the ratepaying grievance by repealing altogether sec-
tion 7 of the Reform Act, which extinguished the com-
pounder. Mr. Gladstone offered no opposition to the
introduction of the bill, but Mr. iibbert regretted the
foi m in which it was frambd, and announced his intention
of opposing it at a future stage.
A first reading was given to bills brought in by Mr.
lladficld to amend the law regulating the burials of Dis-
senters, and by Mr. M‘Lagan to amend the Game Laws fn
Scotland.

The House adjourned at half-past nine o'clock.

THE PRINCE CONSORT MEMORIAL.

Though it.is open to serious question whether we
ought to spend £190,000 on a memorial to a deceased
prince, however noble his life may have been, yet we
have this satisfaction, that the monument to be
erected in Hyde Park is likely to be satisfactory as
regards artistic design and execution. The Post an-
nounces that it will be impossible to " inaugu-
rate " the memorial, as was originally in-
tended, on the Ist of May. So far as
the structural portions of the monument are con-
cerned, they may be said to be complete, but the
proposed decorations and sculpture have not kept
pace with the building, owing to their magnitude and
the wonderful care with which they have been exe-
cuted. The memorial has been so often described that
we need not enter into detail, more than to observe
that, according to the Post," the spire, which forms a
guide to its site from almost any part of the park and
rises high above the surrounding trees, is perhaps
the principal feature of the whole. From its cross to
the base is exactly 120 ft., and the metal used in its
construction weighs over XOO tons. This enormous
weight is supported by four massive crossed wrought-
iron girders. Only an. inadequate idea can be con-
veyed of the magnificence with which this spire has
been decorated. There is not an inch of space which
is not covered with a scroll work, a pinnacle. or
flgures "

THE REVOLT IN CUBA.

Telegrams favourable to the cause of Spahi In Cuba
have been received at Madrid. The New York papers,
however, hear nothing of this good news. Their very full
intelligence represents the Cubans as still numerous and
powerful, the standard of revolt still floating everywhere.
But whatever may be the prospects of the insurrection,
there can be no doubt as to its effects upon the country—
it is a prey to all the horrors of a civil war. Havannah
is practically in a state of siege, banditti pillage the
estates, troops of negroes wander about the country,
famine is imminent in some quarters, and disease
prevalent in many. The Cubans who were found on board
the British schooner Galvanic have been tried for treason,
and sentenced to death. The schooner has been declared
a legal prize, and the British Consul has notified this
judgment to the English Government. He has hopes that
the captain and the crew will be released.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

BRAZILIAN SLAFE TRADE.

The Earl of CLARENDON moved the second reading
(f the Brazilian Slave Trade Bill, and explained
that the object of the bill was to repeal the
Act 8 and 9 Vic., commonly called the Aberdeen
Act. The provisions of that act were very stringent,
and when it was first passed it was intimated to the Bra-
zilian Government that it would not be permanent,
butes soon as the Brazilian Government took steps to check
the enormous traffic carried on on their coast, it would be
repealed. The time had now arrived for the fulfilment of
that engagement, and to effect that was the object of
the bill.

Lord CHELMSFORD said he was Attorney-General
at the time of the passing of the act, and had he been con-
sulted he should have objected to the passing of the act
at all.

After some discussion the bill was read a socond time,
and the house adjourned.

AUSTRIA AND ENGLAND.

According to the Debatte, of Vienna, there is much
reason to believe that the treaty of commerce between
Austria and England will be filially ratified. The Austrian
Government has proposed to substitute a tariff by weight
for the ad valorem tariff in the additional convention—the
source of all the difficulty. The Dcbatte thinks that the
British Government will accept this modification, and the
more so as the new duties will be nearly equal to those
levied by the Zollverein.
