THE LATE LORD HERBERT.—The total cost of
the public memorial raised to Lord Herbei has been rather
over £B,ooo—namely, £5,838 17s. id. for the Convalescent
Seaside Home, just opened at Bournemouth; £2,021 18s 10d
for the statue of " Sidney Herbert," by Barou Ilarochett4,

elected in the Market-place at Sal'sbu- y, and the remainder
for printing and incidental expenses. Tho subscriptions
falling short of the expenditure, the deficiency (nearly
£2,000) has libera"y been made up by the chairman of the
Memorial Committee, the Right Hon. T. Sotheron-Est-
coin L.

Loss OF A STEAMER.—A telegram received by
the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company,
dated Shanghai, September 19, states —" The ste:.mer
Singapore, while going from Yokohama to Hakodadi for
silk-worms' eggs, struck on a sunken rock, and was totally
lost, with ca-go. Every person on board was saved."
AN INTERNATIONAL PRESENT.—The National
Lifeboat Institution has decided to present the fine life-
boat, 33 feet long, its transporting cat.:r:7,* and full equip-
ment of stores (which have been exhibited since May last
at the International Indust:al Exhibition at Pairs), to the
French Shipwreck and Lifeboat Society. It is probable
the lifeboat will be stationed at Calais, a city which,
besides being visited by many French and English vessels,
is also one of the great ports of intercommunication be-
tweei the two count:es. It may be added that the Em-
press Eugenic is the pr.tron of the French Lifeboat Society,
aid it is but a few days since that the British public were
startled by tile intelligence that the Empressand the Ptlnce
Impel :al had unfoi nately nearly lost their lives by drown-
ing on the coast of France. The pilot in charge of the
yacht's boat unhappily perished in his noble and successful
attempt to save the life of the Empress and the Prince on
the QQo§iQll.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.
THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT.—Jem Mace, his
brother, and cousin, were brought before Sir Thos.
Henry, this morning, in custody of Inspector Sil-
vester and several officers, charged with being about
to commit a breach of the peace.
Inspector Silvcster stated from information he
had received he proceeded last night, with several
officers, to Herne-hill, and went to a house close to
the railway station. He knocked at the door, which
was partly opened by a woman, and he asked if Mr.
Mace was in, when the door was attempted to be
closed in his face. He pushed by the female,
and proceeded up stairs, followed by
four other officers. Ile catered the room
and there found Mace in bed, apparently asleep.
lie spoke to Mace, the other two prisoners were
partly undressed, and had a candle alight. The
candle was put out, and the room became totally
dark. Mace got out of bed and a general struggle
ensued, the other prisoners taking up the chairs,
Mace seizing the washing-basin. Witness and
Mace fell together. Ultimately they were over-
powered, handcuffs were put on them, Mace's
brother behaving in the most violent man-
ner. They were ultimately put into a cab
and conveyed to the railway station, and from
thence brought to the Marlborough-mews Police-
station. When at the station Jem Mace swore the
fight should come off ; that he could find bail
for any amount; and that he did not care for any
of the magistrates, as he knew what they could
do. The other two prisoners threatened witness,
telling him he would have his head knocked off
before he had been much longer in the force.
Mr. Lewis asked the witness if he had not 100
navvies to assist him.
Witness said no : he had about eight or nine
officers with him.
Sir Thomas Henry then asked Mr. Lewis whether
he considered that any further examination was
necessary, without he was prepared to show that no
fight was going to take place, and that Mace was
not going to commit a breach of the peace.
Mr. Lewis said that he was not in a position to
contradict that.
Police-constable, No. 5 C, was then called to
corroborate the above evidence. He said he pro-
ceeded to the Ludgate-hill station this morning,
and after great trouble obtained a ticket for the
special train which was to start this morning for
the fight. He did not know the locality selected for
the fight, as it was not stated on the ticket. There
were a great many persons going, and alto gether
a scene of groat confusion presented itself. The
clothes of some of the people were literally torn
to tatters in the struggle to get off. He did not
accompany the party, but the train went out of the
station at the appointed time.
Inspector Hammond said he had another witness
to call.
Sir F. Henry asked what it was to prove. It
was already clearly established that a breach of the
peace was about to take place, which was quite suffi-
cient for the purpose of holding the defendants to
bail. _ _ _

Inspector Hammond said it was merely to give
further evidence to the point already proved.
Mr. Lewis said he hoped the worthy magistrate
would allow him to say on the part of Join Mace
that he was not at all a party to the proceedings of
the police—that he was not acting in connivance
with them, as it has been hinted on other occasions
that he in some measure had done so.
Sir T. Henry said there was not the slightest hint
of such a thing. No one even suggested such a
circumstance.
Inspector Hammond hoped that, in addition to
bail, the magistrate would call for sureties on the
part of Mace, otherwise he feared the fight would
come off.
Sir T. Henry—What is the amount of the stakes ?
Inspector Hammond—X2oo aside. The tickets
for the fight were £2 and £3 a-piece, and altogether
a large sum of money was drawn together by such
proceedings as a prize fight. Without sureties he
felt certain the fight would take place.
Sir T. Henry—l hope such will not be the case.
It is altogether idle for you, Mace, to think you can
act in defiance of the law. Under the circumstances
I think I must call upon you to enter into your own
resognisances for £5OO, and to find two sureties
in £250 each to keep the peace for twelvemonths.
Mr. Lewis—That is in fact to condemn Mace to
imprisonment for that time. It is impossible he can
find such bail. He has not a friend in the world.
Inspector Hammond said the men were in fact in
the hands of their backers, and ho believed the bail
could be procured.
Mr. Lewis said it was utterly impossible to get
bail to such a large amount.
Sir Thomas Henry—l have no guarantee, if I
fixed lower bail, that the fight will not come
off. What do you say, Mace ?
Mace—Well, I'll not fight, after what has been
said here.

Mr. Lewis—l do hope, Sir Thomas, you will fix
the bail at a sum within the reach of Mace.
Sir T. Henry—What is Mace ? I don't know
anything about him.
Mr. Lewis—Well, he is not at present in business.
Sir T. Henry—Well, I shall call upon Mace to
enter into his own recognisances in the sum of
£5OO, and to find two securities in £l5 0, that he
will keep the peace for the next twelve months to
come. The other men to enter into their own re-
cognisances in the sum of £lOO, and to find two
sureties each in the sum of £5O.
Mr. Lewis—l don't think Mace will be able to
find the sureties you, sir, have decided upon.
Sir T. Henry—Wen, that must be seen. I have
power to reduce the amount if I think fit.
The defendants were then removed from the bar.

THE FENIAN ASSASSINATION' IN

BLOOMSBIJRY.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY).

The prisoner John Groves was to-day twain
placed at the bar, before Mr. Vaughan, charged
with being concerned in the murder of Edwin
M'Donnell.
The crowd both outside and within the :court was
much greater than on the last examination . Groves
was brought from the House of Detcntio. -1 in the
prison van early this morning to the poli _;e-court,
it being strongly guarded by mounted porxe.
Mr. Sleigh said he should, with the nv.,gistrate'::
permis ion, reserve his cross-examination 4,f Inspec-
tor Thompson until after that of Mrs. Jai man.
Mr. Poland said fresh matter with respe t to tin.%
charge was constantly springing up, and since la
had been in court he had heard of a witness win
would speak to Groves being in the neighbourhood
of Bloomsbury-square at a quarter before 12 on the
night of the murder. That person would be called
before the court, and he also proposed to call for
examination a hairdresser who sold a beard of the
description of the one worn by the man who fired the
shot, and that person had seen Groves, and believed
him to be the purchaser. Mrs. Jeuman's examina-
tion he should postpone until a future occasion, as
sufficient time had not yet elapsed to make full
inquiries relative to the very extraordinary evidence
she had given yesterday before the Coroner.
Mr. Sleigh objected to such a course. He thought
it was only right to Groves that the woman should
be at once examined, in order that there should he
no time allowed to make alterations and corrections
in her statement. The evidence was now fresh in
his mind, and he was prepared to show at least four
or five discrepancies in that woman's statement. It
would be of the greatest importance to Groves that
the woman should be at once examined.

Mr: Vaughan thought the Crown- had a right to
conduct the prosecution in the way they thought
best.

George Cox was then called, he said—l live at
23, George-street, Foley-street, and on the 27th
September I was in the neighbourhood of Blooms-
bury-square. I was across the road near Hart-street.
I saw two men there, and I :am able to say that
the prisoner is the shortest of the two men I saw.
The other man stood sft. 10in. They were both
reading a paper under a lamp. I identified the
prisoner this morning from out of 25 men. I was
able to fix the time as I had just left a public
house with my friend. I gave information of the
circumstance to Superintendent Searle on the night
the attack on the Foundling Hospital was expected.
I am quite sure that I saw the prisoner on the night
the murder was committed.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l work at 198,
Holloway-road, and for the last five years I have
had about five situations. was returning on the
night in question from a visit to my uncle at Clerken-
well, and I went to a public-house after that, but I
don't know the sign of the house. I met my uncle
at this public-house, but I cannot say frequently.
Mr. Vaughan did not think it was relevant to the
case to inquire of the witness how many times the
witness had been to a certain public-house.
Mr. Sleigh said it was important he should pro-
ceed with the questions.

Cross-examination continued—l heard of the
murder on the Saturday, and it was the Friday
following I went to see Superintendent Searle. My
statement was taken down by the officer ; it was
read over to me, but I did not say it was not per-
fect. I read of the murder in the newspapers on
the Sunday following the murder. lam quite cer-
tain that statement I read was in the Sunday paper.
It was not an examination before the magistrate,
but it merely stated a man had been shot. I then
said to my mother, " I believe I saw the two men
that shot .11.PDonn ell." I don't know the name of
the person who first told me of the murder. I know
a reward has been offered, but I bad seen Super-
tendent Searle before I knew that. I didn't know
the amount of the reward, but I saw the bi.ll
offering £lOO.
Mr. Sleigh—Which of these two statements is
correct ?
Witness —Both. When I first went to the police-
station I knew nothing about it, but as I was
waiting to see Superintendent Searle I saw the bill.
I have been a witness before in other cases. Pro-
bably five or six times, or may be more. On my
own account, and assisting the police as well.
Mr. Sleigh—Assisting the police ! Well, I shan't
ask you any more questions.
Re-examined by Mr. Poland—l cannot say posi-
tively whether or not the men had beards. I think
the prisoner had whiskers, but I was a casual passer-
by, and only saw his side face, and picked the pri-
soner out from amongst about five and twenty
persons.

Mr. James Jennings—l am a hairdresser, and
keep a shop at 25, rritchborne-street, Haymarket.
I recollect selling a false beard and moustache be-

tween the 16th and 24th of September. It was
what was called an entire beard. It was a lightish

brown. I did not give information of the fact, but
the police called upon me last week. I have been
to the House of Detention, and, after seeing a num-
ber of persons, I fancied the prisoner was the person
to whom I had sold the beard, but I should not like
to be certain. I passed the prisoner's cell before I

said that 1 fancied the prisoner was the man. My
memory is very treacherous as to facts. I should
be very sorry to say the prisoner was the man.
Mr. Vaughan—Have you a belief that the priso-
ner is the man to whom you sold the beard ?
Witness—l fancy him to be so, but I picked him
out from about five and twenty persons.
Mr. Poland—l must ask you again do you believe
the prisoner to be the man to whom you sold the
beard ?

Witness—l cannot say further than that I fancy
the prisoner to be the man. I cannot say positively
further than that.
Mr. Vaughan—What made you fancy the
prisoner ?
Witness—From the similar colour of his hair and
moustache—the general appearance of the man. I
dressed the beard on the man's face, and after he
had gone I made some observations to my assist-
ants that it was a very strange thing for a person
to wear a beard in the daytime. I therefore thought
the beard was wanted for purposes of disguise. I
was quite close to the man's face when I fitted on
the beard. I have not seen an advertisement re-
specting the beard.
Mr. Sleigh—You cannot say as fact, one way or"
the other, whether the prisoner is the man ?
Witness—No, I cannot. It was merely out of
feeling for the prisoner that I passed his cell door
before I said I believed him to be the man.
Henry Stephens—l live at 47, Seckford-street,
Clerkenweil. On Saturday morning, the 28th of
September, about one o'clock, I was standing at the
corner of Orange-street and Kingsgate-street, oppo-
site Vernon-place. I had just left some friends, and
was crossing Kingsgate-street, when my attentio n
was arrested by a report of fire arms. I ran in the
direction of the sound and I went on until I caught
Furber as I thought. He was running.towards me.
I ran up to Farber and seized him. This was in
Vernon-place. I asked him what was the matter,
and he asked for a policeman as his friend had been
shot.
(The case was proceeding when we went to press.)
