REMARKS.

The changes in barometrical pressure in these islands since yester-
day have been slight. A decrease has occurred at the entrance of the
Channel and on the French coast, but in Scotland there has been a
slight recovery. Readings are very uniform. Temperature is not
much altered. Winds on the southern coasts and the W. of France
have again drawn to the south-eastward ; but are fresh to strong
from south in Ireland, and light from S. to S.W. elsewhere. The
sky continues overcast, with misty weather. The sea is high at
Valencia.

With regard to the Norwich murder, it is now
announced that the remains, preserved in spirits of wine, at
the Guildhall, Norwich, were disinterred this morning for
further medical examination. The prisoner's solicitor was
present at the disinterment.

The inhabit tnts of some villages in Suffolk were
the other day startled from their proprit ty by a shock re-
sembling that of an earthquake. Various descriptions have
been given of the occurrence which differ in detail, but no
doubt seems to exist as to the nature of the disturbance
which took place.

The Echo is enabled to state that the Prince of
Wales has abandoned his intention of visiting Athens, owing
to the political prospect. After leaving Vienna he will
proceed via Trieste to Alexandria, where, among other per-
sons, the Royal party will be joined by Dr. W. H. Russell
and Professor O'wen.

We regret to find that another death has resulted
from the colliery accident at Rainford, leaving only ene Sur.
vivor of the seven men who were burned last Thursday.
The inquest on the six bodies was opened on Thursday, but
as it was stated that it might be several months before the
bodies of the two men who fell down the shaft could be re-
covered and the workings examined, the inquest was ad-
journed for a month.

The ?Manchester Courier notes that a Liverpool
teetotal lecturer has somewhat marred the effect of his
teaching by certain predilections which have resulted
in Lis committal by the Birkenhead police magistrate.
lie was so convinced of the excellence of matrimony that
he married two wives, and thus commttted bigamy ; his
search after divine truth was so energetic that he stole a
Bible; and in the interests of punctuality be appropriated a
watch. These were the charges, and the magistrate thought
the evidence justified committal. 'the man pleaded his re-
spectability, and an acquaintance with a number of Parlia-
ment, but these did not avail him.

The Dublin Evening Post reports that three privates
of the 66th Regiment, who were on Sunday
nigh on guard duty at Richmond Barracks, were
found on Monday morning to have deserted during
the night. What renders the desertion rather sus-
picious is the fact that the three men took with them
their arms, accoutrements, and a quantity of ammunition,
No trace of their whereabouts has yet been obtained

CRIMINAL COUR7—(Thiq day).

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
CHARGE OF WILFUL 311;111/ZR.

George Campbell, 23, uphitlsterer, was indicted
for the wiful murder of John Moir.

The facts gef this melancholy case h;ive so recently
been published in extenso that it nee I on the pre-
scut occasion only be stated that the prisoner and
deceased were present at a Christmas party at the
residence of a young Turku named Wotherspooc, in
Alfred-street, Barnesbury, when some trivial dis-
pute induced the prisoner to reach down a rifle,
which was hanging up in the room, and after
leaving the room with it, he returned, put
it up to his shoulder, and on deceased asking him
what he was going to do, he replied, " I'm going
to put out the light." The gun went off instan-
taneously, and the deceased fell to the ground dead.
• Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. W. P.
M'Donald defended the prisoner, and examined all
the witnesses with a desire to show that the event

was purely accidental, that the prisoner merely in-
tended to perform the common trick of putting out
the light by the exploding a percussion cap, and
that he had no knowledge that the rifle was loaded.
We shall give the conclusion in our late edition.

NEW COURT.
THE SHOEMAKERS' STRIKE.

Benjamin Shepherd, Joseph Brain, Alfred Cook,
William Emmett, sen., and William Emmett, jun.,
were indicted for unlawfully conspiring to cause
certain persons to depart from their trade and
employment.

The prisoners, it will be recollected, attempted
to induce certain workmen entering the employment
of Mr. Glew, in the City-road, during the shoe-
makers' strike.

The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

THIRD COURT.

The continuance of the trial of Mr. Adolphe
Ellison, who was indicted with publishing a false
and defamatory libel upon certain of the directors
of the Ottoman Railway Company (Smyrna to
Aiden), was postponed until to-morrow morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.

TWENIt-TWO . CONVICTIONS AGAINST A MAN.—
George Pons, a thick-set fellow, was brought be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt for final examination, charged
with being concerned with others not in custody in
assaulting and robbing a gentleman named George
John Millett, residing at No. 23, Wells-street,
Oxford-street, of a watch and chain, of the value of
£.15.

The prosecutor was standing at his street door
and feeling for his latch key, when the prisoner and
others walked up to him and knocked him down,
and on gett ng up he missed his watch and chain,
of the value of £l5.

A young woman proved seeing the prosecutor
knocked down into the gutter, and seeing the pri-
soners who attacked him run away. She afterwards
identified the prisoner as one of the persons en-
gaged in the affair.

Clarke, 160 E, proved taking the prisoner into
custody from a description received of him.
Herbert Reeves, a warder at the House of Cor-
rection, Coldbath-fields, and Sergeant Ch tpple,
4 F, proved that the prisoner had been convicted
22 times for different offences, principally for felo-
nies and assaults, and on one occasion being sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment for assaulting
the police.

The prisoner reserved his defenc:„ at the same
time stating that lie w•as innocent of the present
charge.

Tyrwhitt committed him for trial, and said
he hoped the young woman who had given evidence
would be cared for, as he had no doubt she would
be molested by the prisoner's friends, and if she was
he hoped he would be sitting when the persons were
brought to the Court, as he would know what to do
with them.
