'NCH PRESS.IREWARDS

The Pope having, in his letter to the Patriarch
of Antioch and the Maronite bishops, announced
that he was prevented from sending more pecuniary
assistance by the circumstance of his being placed
in considerable embarrassment, the Siecle seizes on
the occasion to inquire whose fault it is that his
Holiness finds himself in such a situation :—" It is
certain that if these embarrassments did not exist
the Pope would feel paternal joy in sending larger
sums to the Maronites. Bat whence come those
embarrassments ? From the fact that the Holy
See defends with puerile obstinacy a temporal
power which is escaping from it, and which it
cannot retain at any price. If, then, instead
of playing at soldiers, as the Roman Govern-
ment does; instead of disbursing so many millions
borrowed from a good people who might have em-
ployed them better; instead of purchasing at great
cost muskets, rifled cannon, gunpowder, and ball—
things which have little connection with Evangeli-
cal prescriptions ; if, instead of thus wasting pre-
cious resources, the Holy See would understand
that Providence is evidently bringing back the
Papacy to its primitive starting point—to Evan-
gelical simplicity and humility ; if the Papacy were
spontaneously to abandon its temporal authority,
which no human power can longer preserve to it—
it is very evident that the Pope might immediately,
with the sole resources of Peter's pence and the offer-
ings of the faithful, increase ten and a hundredfold
the relief he sends to the Maronites. Charity would
gain thereby, but the Holy See would gain still
more. The Christians of the East must, then, know
that, if the Roman Court does not give them more
efficacious assistance, the reason is that it will not,
inasmuch as it depends on itself alone to set aside
in a single day the embarrassments of which it un-
justly complains. The Papal missive is also re-
marked on by the Cliarivari, although in a diffe-
rent point of view. It says :—" Given the follow-
ing situation : One of your friends, stricken in
what is most dear to him, having lost by a catas-
trophe one of the members of his family, and you
writing to him a letter of condolence, should you
think of mixing up your own petty troubles with
the expression of painful sympathy suitable in such
a letter ? Certainly not. You would assuredly,
never conceive the idea of choosing such an oc-
casion to lament over the difficulty of
collecting your outstanding debts, to bewail
your conjugal squabbles, to speak of the shooting
pains in your corns owing to the rainy weather, or
any other little annoyance peculiar to yourself.
Whence comes it, then, that the Pope, in replying
;o the unfortunate Patriarch of Antioch on the sub-
ect of the Syrian massacres, has thought proper to
,neat of a host of matters in which that dignitary

can hardly be expected to take much interest at
such a moment ? Why has he blended with his
consolations a short essay on politics, an epitome of
the Italian question, recriminations against the
House of Lords, and other things equally irrele-
vant ? Alas we have no doubt that, if left to his
own impulse, Pius IX. would have felt that charity
and respect for misfortune made it a duty for him
not to lot his pen wander into these unseasonable
deviations. But Cardinal Antonelli probably de-
cided otherwise."

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.
We had very little betting to -day, and, as is often the
case during such quiet days, there were some curious things
done. For the Ebor Handicap, 9to 1 was taken and
offered against Gladiolus ; and one gentleman laid 100 to 5
against Underhand, but upon the backer expressing a wish
to go on at that figure, he offered 100 to 6, which, as it was
not taken, we quote as his price. Defender met with some
support at 12 to 1, and 100 to 6 was taken and offered
against Horace. For the St. Leger 3to 1 was offered on
the field. Closing prices :

EBOR HANDICAP.—YouArr Wm. GRAY requests that
his subscribers will not speculate on the Ebor Handicap
until they receive his next advice. A trial took place yes..
terday at -, and the horse he now recommends beat two
of the best trial horses out this season. He is so confident
of the result that, in the event of the horse he recommends
being beaten, he will return the money paid for advice.
Underhand was selected last year when at 33 to 1. The
acceptance is very small this year, consequently the prices
are less, but independent of this 100 to 6 can be obtained.
Terms for advice to the end of the season, 15s. ; to the St.
Leger, 7s. 6d. ; the York Meeting, 2s. 6d., and per centage.
Address 15, Charing-cross, London.

THE HARVEST IN BRITISH AMERICA.—A number
of showers, succeeded by warm weather, has had the effect
of completely ripening the fall wheat, so that harvesting
had begun in the Upper Canada sections of the country.
The weather had been all that could be desired, and by the
end of the month the great bulk of the crop would be safely
housed. The spring grains were rapidly ripening, and every-
thing promises a full crop of all cereals. The barley crop,
which is unusually large, would turn out well. The quality
of some of the new wheat crop brought to market had never
been surpassed, and the samples of all the grains yet exhi-
bited equal to any ever before shown here. Business had
been very dull throughout the week, and no revival could
be expected until after harvest. There had been only a
limited business in produce, and prices remained much the
same.—Canadian News.

ment and the Board of Trade :—To Captain James

Breeze, of London. To Hermann Kroger, master
of the Finkenwarder fishing smack Dolphin, and
to T. P. C. Bush, master of the second Hamburg

23d ult. To Jan E. Visser, Jan D. Pokier, Job
Dirks Kisser, Jacob Jaus Barker, Cornelis Yzaacks
Visser, and Lolke Jans Kauger, forming the crew st.
a Netherland lifeboat, a silver medal each for their
services in saving five of the crew of the fishing sloop
Elmer, of London, wrecked off the island of Auck-
land during a heavy storm on the 29th May last; and
to Chevalier Dan. Wigbold Crommelin van Heeche-
ren, burgomaster of the said island, a gold medal,
for his services in directing the salvage operations
on the above occasion. His Imperial Highness the
Emperor of the French has awarded to Richard
Hayes, Richard May, and James May, masters in
the British merchant service, Robert Martin,
coast-guard officer, James Smith, Robert Thorn, and
Joseph Blund, seamen, a silver medal each, for ser-
vices rendered to the Amphitrite, of Dunkirk,

ance rendered to the Ouragan, of St. Malo, when

April, 1859.

FRENCH RIFLED CANNON FOR

GARIBALDI.

I have been positively assured that ten rifled
cannon, missing from the French arsenals, are, or
will soon be, in the possession of Garibaldi. I can-
not vouch for the fact on my own knowledge, but I
received the information from a very competent
authority. General Turr's visit to Paris is said to
have been connected with this transfer. What
believe to be quite certain is, that Signor San Catelao,
Garibaldi's envoy to the French Government, soli-
cited pormission to have rifled cannon for the Sici'
Tian army cast in the French foundries. I cannot
say what was the answer to this request, but it may
perhaps be taken in connexion with the southward
journey of the ten pieces of ordnance above mew
tioned. General Turr, during his stay in Paris, 15
said to have had an interview with the Emperor,
This is not improbable, for it is well known that bia
Majesty takes pleasure in receiving the distinguished
foreign emigrants who visit his capital, and that
Italians, Hungarians, and Poles answering to that
description have not unfrequently had audience 01
him, Doubtless, his own experience of exile has
implanted in his breast a feelinc, of sympathy with
such persons, and therefore his friendly and frequent
reception of them should not awaken the suspicions
of those Powers to whom they are known to be hos-
tile. We may presume it to be a question of senti-
ment, not of policy. As regards General Turr, hoW"
ever, I can assure you that, whether he did or did
not see the Emperor, he frequently saw Prince
Napoleon. You are probably aware that the Hun-
garians, if they see a prospect of its bringing suc-
cour to their cause, are quite disposed to offer the
crown of Hungary to the Emperor's cousin. 111
Imperial Highness should not overrate the compli'
ment implied by this disposition. The Hungarians
are much in the same frame of mind that the Lora'
bards were in for some time before the war in
Italy. To get rid of their then rulers they would,
have accepted the government of the Grand Turk or
of the great enemy of mankind himself. Of courser
they would have cherished an arriere pensee of no
for ever remaining under the sway of o°,
undesirable a Sovereign as either of these two, I'll:
they thought that any change would be progress
and an advantage.—Letter from Paris.

petition against the return of the present sitting member'

A CASTLE TO BE SHOT FOR,—A letter from 0);
logne, of the Bth inst., states that the inhabitants of that
city are occupied with the preparations for a grand festive.:
which is to take place at the end of the present month ca
the beginning of September. There is to be a general Gar,
man shooting match, to which are to be invited Swiss, Be,
gians, Dutch, and English. The prize to be gained je,„
castle, of the value of about £6,000, situated opposite Pr
Coblentz, with a magnificent view over that city, Stolze,a;
fell, the Rhine, and the Moselle. The building is perfecr,„,l
new ; it is constructed according to the fashion of
middle ages, with drawbridge and towers. This, if 00
is great news for the rifle corps.

leg. The leg was amputated, but the unfortunate no"
sank and died from the injury.—Shrewsbury Journal.
WATERSPOUT.—On Saturday afternoon the
lower portion of Auchterarder was visited with a tremendel
waterspout, which in a short time deluged the dwellings
the inhabitants to an alarming extent. One of the breweries
,
was inundated to a considerable depth of water—so mac'
so, that the barrels were floating on its surface. The gar
dens and crops have been considerably damaged. The
waterfall continued only a short time. In the suburbs there
was scarcely any rain. The thermometer has been much
higher since.—Scotsman.

THE HIGH SHERIFF OF SURREY AND THE

(Before /tr. Justice Williams.)
THE MURDERS AT WALWORTH.

William Godfrey Youngman, 25, tailor, wa is indicted for
the wilful murder of Mary Wells Streeter. There were also
three other indictments against him for the wilful murder
of his mother and his two brothers.

Mr. Clerk prosecuted on the part of the Crown ; and
Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, defended the, prisoner.
Yesterday the indictments were severallyr read over to
him, and he pleaded not guilty distinctly to each of the
charges.

From the circumstance that the evidence against the
accused having already appeared in The Sion, in tho copious
reports of the examination of the accused, before Mr.
Elliot, the magistrate at the Lambeth Police-court, and
Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, we deem it unne-
cessary to repeat it. The following brief narrative of the
facts will be quite sufficient to refresh the memory of our
readers.

It will be recollected that a constable on duty (David
' Luck, 133 P), about six o'clock in the morning of the
31st of July, just prior to his leaving his beat, was called
to No. 16, Manor place, Walworth-road, by the lan.dlord
of the house, Mr. Bevan, who infor•.ned the officer that
a child had been murdered. The constable at once sent
to the chief station for a superior officer, and Inspector
Dann, accompanied by Police-constable Varney, proceeded
to the house. On the officers going upstairs to the land-
ing of the second floor, a sight at once awful, sickening,
and harrowing presented itself. The whole of the floor of
the landing was saturated with blood, which had scarcely
coagulated, and lying in the midst of it were three human
bodies, fearfully mutilated. The first was folind to be that
of a boy, abc;ut six years of age, lying on his back with his
head towards the stairs. The next body was that of a
young female in her night-dress ; lying on her right side,
and partially resting upon her, was the body of an elderly
female. Mr. Inspector Dann was then informed that a
youngman, the son of the elderly female, was on that storey,
and on stepping over the bodies he saw a man, about 25
years of age, in his night-shirt, standing perfectly cairn and
quite indifferent to the horrible scene around him. In-
spector Dann told him that he must take him into custody,
when the young man made the following remarks :—" I
was in bed with my brother, when mother came up to the
bedside with a knife, and killed my brother who was sleeping
with sue; then she made a stab at me, and I wrested the
knife from her and killed her in self-defence." The young
man was then taken into custody, and Inspector Dann
proceeded into the back room on the same landing, and
discovered a fourth body, that of a boy about eleven years
of age, lying in bed in a pool of blood. The prisoner was
then removed to the chief police station. On a search of
the rooms being made a large dagger clasp knife was found
completely covered with blood. About an eighth of an
inch of the point of the dagger was broken off, as also a
portion of the guard. A lodger named Beard, a carpenter,
was preparing to go to work when he heard a kind of cry and
a heavy fall. He went to see what it was, when he observed
the body of one of the deceased boys lying on the land-
ing covered with blood. Being greatly alarmed Beard did
not search further, but ran down stairs and informed his
landlord, and Mr. Bevan immediately called in the police as
stated above.

In the opening speech ef Mr. Clark for the prosecution,
he said the object of the prisoner in committing the murder
appeared to him to be very clear. The prisoner had effected
an insurance for £lOO on the life of the deceased Mary
Wells Streeter, and in order to obtain that money at her
death, it was incumbent on him to show that she had not
taken her own life, and that she had not suffered violence
from his hands. Having arranged his plans ha next de-
stroyed his mother in order that he might repre-
sent that she had murdered Miss Streeter, and to
save himself from the consequences of such an
act he artfully declared he had done so in self-defence.
As a reason for the killing his brothers it was suggestive
of one of two things—either they had witnessed his acts,
and it was absolutely necessary they should be got rid of to
enable him to get the insurance money, or that they were
disposed of to convey a false impression of the ferocity of
his mother, and to show that he might have shared a simi-
lar fate had he not used the violence he did in resisting her
attack, which terminated in her death. He did not know
the grounds of the defence, but if it was intended to persist
that the ruotherwas murdered in self-defence, then the whole
facts of the case were opposed to such an assertion; while
if, on the other hand, it was contended the murders were
committed while the prisoner was in a state of insanity, the
letters written by him, and his whole conduct, completely
disproved any unsoundness of mind on his part.
Mr. Clark occupied one hour and a quarter in the delivery
of his address, and during the whole of the time the pri-
soner never for a moment removed his eyes from of the
learned gentleman. On the conclusion of the speech the
prisoner commenced taking notes of the evidence in the
coolest manner imaginable, and continued so 'occupied
during the progress of the trial.
