THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN.

SIR, —With reference to the telegram from Con-
stantinople on the subject of the Abyssinian pri-
soners, which I sent you on the 4th inst., I beg to
say that I have made inquiries on two successive
days by telegraph to ascertain the source froni
which my agent obtained the news, but as yet 1
have received no reply, owing probably to the tele-
graphic communication being at present somewhat
irregular.

Full, and I hope satisfactory, explanations will,
however, come by the next or following mail ; and
as soon as they are received I will at once communi-
cate them to the Press.

In the meantime I may state, in justice to my
agent, that I have always found him most careful
and cautious in transmitting intelligence, and that
all he has sent !litherto has proved accurate.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
JULIUS REUTER.

The Houses of Parliament.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—Mr. E. W. Pugin's assertions respectingthe
Houses of Parliament have already been so fully
contradicted by his own witnesses that I need only
say a very few words in reply to his long letter ill
the Times of to-day.
He says that his father made the designs which
gained the competition. I produce as witness A-11'
Wolfe, who saw my father make them with his own
hands. Mr. E. Pugin was an infant at the time of
the competition, and therefore appeals to Mr. Talbot
Bury, one of his father's oldest friends, to come
forward. Mr. Bury does so, and states that it was
not till Mr. Barry had completed his design that
Pugin ever saw it. He adds that Pugin went froal
Mr. Bury's house to see it, and returned full of its
praises, and at that early period anticipated its
success in the pending competition.
Mr. E. Pugin then asserts that his father WO'
nevertheless, the architect of the building as it i 5;
To this I oppose the direct denial of the eminent
architect, Mr. Banks, who was my father's chief
assistant at the time, and through whose hands al:
the drawings and orders for the work passed.
ed.'
also quote Mr. Pugin's own letter, which appear
in the Builder in 1845. Mr. Pugin replies that 13'
father " told an intimate friend that he was the
designer of the Houses." But he told the publielli
his carefully written letter that he was not, that b,s,
" did nothing whatever on his own responsibility
and that his occupation was simply " to assist In
carrying out practically Mr. Barry's designs 6 ,0
views in all respects." I respect Mr. E.
anxiety to do justice to his father, but has he reflected
..
that he is asking us to believe that he either told o'
wrote an untruth.

Mr. E. Pugin then quotes as negative evideuef3
that Mr. Wright, who, he says, traced his father°
drawings, refuses to give any evidence whatever'
He is, however, again unfortunate iu his witness, far
Mr. Wright has written to me a letter, in 1,71)0'
after expressing in strong terms his opinion of 1‘11.•
E. Pugin's charges, he states that " the position °:
Mr. A. W. Pugin was that of au occasional asslib
ant and valued friend, and that every part of the
building had the designing hand of Sir C. Barri `3t
least ten times over." I can assure Mr. E. Pugh'
;
that I had nothing whatever to do with Mr. Wright
letter beyond asking, as Mr. E. Pugiu himself ;
that Mr. Wright would state what he knew of t'
case.

Mr. E. Pugin then denies the truth of my state-
ment,ti that since my professional association
my father every design for his works was made "J
himself. I repeat that statement in the strongest
terms, and it is corroborated by my eldest brother'
Mr. C. Barry. I have, however, never wished to
controvert Mr. A.W. Pugin's own statement in i;s
letter, that he assisted in details and in carrying
out practically my father's designs. No one has ,s
higher opinion than I have of the late Mr. rogil34
great talent as to Gothic details. and when tin
talents have seemed to me unduly depreciated bo
have borne public testimony to his genius, arid t
assistance given by him at Westminster, when his

son has been silent.
I have received numerous letters available a;
further evidence should it become necessary, but
will at present content myself with saying that f
shall gladly welcome any further havestigati°,_'a'
should Mr. Wolfe's suggestion of a reference to 0'
Royal Institute of British Architects be acted on.o
It would be unseemly in me to seek to depreea/r
your condemnatory criticism of the Westnains,n
Palace, but I may perhaps be allowed to refer to 0'
warmth of the present controversy, and the earnest;
ness with which it is waged, as proofs that you
opinions are not universally held, and that 0,
father's great work has still its enthusiastic ad-
mirers.--Yours, &c.,
EDWARD M. BABB3'

Penshurst, Sept. 7.
P.S.—ln order to give the explanation of the late
Mr. Pugin's position in his own words, 1 enclose 11
copy of his letter to the Builder in 1845. Jr.
Pugin has referred to Mr. Ferrey, his father's We:,
grapher, to contradict this letter, but his witues:
again fails him, for Mr. Ferrey says :—"

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Continued ease prevails in the Discount Market,
and not the slightest change can be reported in tho
current rates. The directors of the Bank of Eng-
land, at their usual weekly court, as was generally
expected, made no alteration in their terms for ac-
commodation.

At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
gold operations of importance.
The Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada
have announced the payment of the half-year's in-
terest on the Atlantic and St. Lawrence shares, due
on Monday, the 15th inst.
At the sixth ordinary meeting of the Surrey
Commercial Dock Company, held to-day, the
directors report was presented. It states that the
decrease in wood-laden vessels is attributable partly
to the general depression of trade, but in a great
measure to the lateness of the present season in the
Baltic. Your directors anticipate a large autumn
trade, and trust that by the close of the year the
deficiency of tonnage will be reduced. The great
development of trade in prepared flooring
boards has rendered it necessary largely to
extend the shed-room for their reception.
The sheds are constructed at a moderate cost,
and have been fully occupied throughout the
season. A considerable increase of dock space has
been obtained this year by the construction of
landing yards, with a shallow dock for barges, on a
site of 17 acres, in the vicinity of the Plough-road.
On a part of this ground your directors are erecting
a range of warehouses for the reception of jute and
other fibres. These buildings, one of which is just
completed, have been constructed specially to meet
the requirements of the London Fire Offices, and
have been favourably reported on by their surveyor.
Your directors have, therefore, every reason to hope
that a good and profitable business in this class
of merchandise will be directed to this
dock. The directors recommend that a dividend
of £3 per cent., free of income tax, be declared
on the ordinary stock and on Preference Stock A
for the six mouths ending 30th inst. An adequate
amount of the company's debenture stock having
been issued your directors have given the requisite
notices pursuant to the resolution passed at the
extraordinary meeting on the 14th of September,
1865, to pay off the outstanding promissory notes.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have declined 1, to 23 23 ; but the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds remain at 21 22.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND,

MEETING-THIS DAY.

A general court of the directors of the Bank of
England was held in the Bank-parlour this morn-
ing ; Newman Hunt, Esq., governor, in the chair.
_ .

The minutes of the last court having been read
and confirmed,
The CHAIRMAN said that this was ono of the
quarterly general courts, appointed under the charter
by N 0.12 bye-law, for making a dividend for the half-
year, and it was also one of the usual quarterly courts.
The amount declared on the 30th August last was
£629,072 16s. 101, making amount of rest on that
day £3,657,003 14s. 101 ; and after providing for
a dividend during the half-year at 4i per cent., the
amount of rest would be £3,002,118 14s. 11d., and
the dividend warrants would be delivered and paid
on the 10th Oct. next, with no deduction on ac-
count of income-tax. He then moved that this
dividend be made and warrants issued.
This resolution was carried unanimously.
On the motion of Mr. SEABANK, seconded by
Mr. LAWRENCE LEVI, a cordial vote of thanks was
passed to the governor and court of directors.
The CHAIRMAN thanked the court for himself
and the directors, and regretted that the dividend
was not larger, but it was only what they might
expect from the state of the money market.

RELIGIOUS CREEDS.—In addition to the Oaths of
Office Act another statute was passed in the late Session to
open the professorships of Dublin University, which were
limited to Protestants of all nations, to all qualified per-
sons irrespective of their religious creed.
SUDDEN DEATH ON HOLBORN-lIILL.--At half-
past one o'clock yesterday afternoon a poorly-clad woman,
about 60 years of age, was ascending Holborn-hill, when
she was observed suddenly to fall, and upon several persons
running to her assistance she was found to be dead. It is
assumed that she was on her way to the relieving-house,
as an order for out-door relief was found on her person.
Her body was conveyed to the dead-house, where it awaits
an inquest.
TAILORS' STRIKE IN BIRMINGHAIL—Sixty-SeVeR
journeymen tailors are now on strike in Birmingham, in
consequence of a dispute with some of the masters on the
"log" question. The actual difference in money between
the regulations the men require and those which the mas-
ters insist upon is roughly estimated at 3s. or 3s. 6d. a
week for each man. The funds of the workmen's society
aro in good condition. The mon have been paying 2s.
all through the summer for the support of the London
tailors on strike. 300 in-door and 90 out-door workers are
members of the Birmingham society.—Birmingham Post.
FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon
a party of three officers of the Royal Engineers proceeded
from Chatham for a sail down the harbour in ono of the
small sailing yachts belonging to the Royal Engineers,
when a sudden gust of wind caught the sail while the yacht
was passing through Long Reach, the boat immediately
capsizing. Lieut. James J. Robertson, who was stated to
have been an excellent swimmer, was unfortunately
drowned. The other two officers—Lieuts. Sir Arthur W.
Mackworth and C. H. Mackenzie, were saved by some
officers in two other yachts also belonging to the Royal
Engineers, which were in company with deceased. Al-
though all possible means have been employed the body of
deceased was not foun avp to yesterday.

[ADvEwrismtENT.]— Consumption, and all nervous, bilious,
stomach and liver complaints iu every stage are only aggravated
and accelerated by drugs of every description, but perfectly
oau ble by Du Barry's health-restoring Rovalenta Arabica Food,
as proved by thousands of cases which had been considered
hopeless; such as indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con-
sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhwa, all gastric derange-
ments, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness,
biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, in-
fluenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impu-
rities, eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleeplessness,
acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy,
cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness, even in pregnancy or at
sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest,
pains at the pit of the stomach, and between the shoulders, &c.
We quote a few.—The Pope's health restored by Du Harry's

effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this
excellent food too highly." From the "Gazette du Midi."

THE HEALTH OF LORD DERBY.—We are happy
to learn that the attack of gout from which the noble Pre-
mier has been suffering during the last fow days is not so
severe as his previous one, and that there was on Tuesday
an improvement in his lordship's condition.
THE BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE MEDWAY.—The
search fur the body of Lieutenant J. J. Robertson, R.E.,
who was drowned in Long Reach, last Friday, con.
Unites. A reward of .£25 has been offered by Colonel
Simmons, the director of the Royal Engineer establish-
ment, for the recovery of the body by Sunday morning
next; the reward to be £lO if recovered later than that
time.

FATAL ACCIDE:r•T.—An inquest was held yester-
day at Penton-place, Walworth, on the body of Harriet
Moon, aged 73 years. It appeared that on Thursiay
morning deceased was descending a ladder, after having
fed some pigeons, when sho fell, and broke ter leg. She
was carried to St. Thomas's Hospital, where she expired
on Sunday. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental
Death.

centand John Graney, porters, working in Covent-
garden Market, were charged with stealing a sove-
reign frem the Britannia publichouse, Covent-
garden Market.

Mr. Harrison said that about half-past eight last
night his barman informed him the prisoners had
taken a sovereign from the counter, while he (the
barman) was giving change. He went in search of
the prisoners, and found them drunk in another
publichouse (the White Lion) in James-street.
They denied having taken the money. He gave
them in charge. This morning the mother of Vin-
cent called upon witness and offered to repay the
£l, saying it was only taken for " a lark," and
that they meant to return it.

Mr. Flowers—The question is, do you believe it
was taken in that way ?
Witness—l can't tell, as I was not present.
They are well known, and have a very good
character. They certainly have been in the habit
of taking more liberties in my house than I like,
but some allowance was made as they were old cus-
tomers.

Samuel Challis, the barman, said that shortly
after eight o'clock a young man from the
market asked him for change of a five-pound
note. Witness by mistake laid six sovereigns
on the counter instead of five. The prisoner
Graney threw down some halfpence amongst the
gold, and Vincent, in picking them up, took the
extra sovereign with them. The young man took
his proper change and went away. Witness de-
manded the sovereign from Vincent, who denied
having taken it, and suggested that they should go
in search of the young man who had got change,
who, he said, would prove that he had not taken the
sovereign. They went, but could not find the young
man, and witness returned to the Britannia and
told Mr. Harrison what had occurred.

Mr. Flowers.--What did Graney do ?
Witness—Ho asked Vincent to pass the beer.

Vincent said he wag sorry for what he had done,
he was drunk.

John IV. Reece, a salesman in the market, stated
he had employed the prisoners from time to time,
especially Vincent, whom he had frequently
entrusted with large amounts of money and money's
worth, lie would do so again, fully believing chat
the prisoners were incapable of wilful dishonesty.
How they had got into this scrape he could not
understand.

Mr. Flowers said it was clear enough how they
got into it—by getting drunk. However, if Mr.
Harrison thought they did not mean to steal the
money, he might be disposed to take the same view.
The money, however, must in any case be restored.
He should adjourn the case for a week, taking ➢lr.
Reece's bail for the prisoner. If on consideration
Mr. Harrison believed their story, he might retire.
The prisoners must remember that it was only their
good character that saved them from being com-
mitted for trial.

Mr. Mansfield—What has been the result?
Inspector Shadford—A verdict of wilful murder
has been returned.

Mr. Mansfield—There is no necessity for me to
go into the case. She already stands convicted on
the coroner's warrant.

The prisoner has been in St. Pancras Infirmary
since the occurrence. On the day alluded to a
policeman was called to the address, and in a cellar
found a full-grown male child with its head nearly
severed from its body. The prisoner admitted it
was her chill, and said it was a bad job.
Prisoner was conveyed to Newgate.

Iu opening the proceedings, Mr. Commissioner
Pickeringasked if there was any one present with the
keys of the Manchester Union's box, but there was
no reply.

Thomas Harrison, having been cautioned that
without a full disclosure he would not have a certifi-
cate, said he is a carter now, and was no longer a
member of the Ashton Brickmakers' Union. Ceased
to be two years ago. Was a member 15 years. Had
been president and then treasurer. It was generally
discussed at meetings what should be done as to
destroying bricks. The president and secretary
generally decided what should be done, and the
man who undertook the job decided the price. Had
been president ten or a dozen times. Was president
for half of 18611 Bridgewood was secretary pne
three months during witness's presidency. The
most witness ever paid for one job was £l5. He
believed they paid £l5 for the job at Newton-wood
—the co-operative mills. John Ensor carried that
out, and made all the arrangements. Clifford's job
was in 1860, and witness received a note from Kay
that he had done work at Staleybridge and Dukin-
field, and he paid him £25. Kay was not of their
union. One of those jobs was Clifford's, and the
other Blocksaye's. Did not know that Kay had
done any other damage for them. It would be
entered as incidental expenses. He remembered
Rogers's job, and he paid Ensor, but did not recol-
lect the amount paid. It would be between £5 and
£l5. Did not know what was paid for the outrage
at Taylor's. Recollected reading what it was—that
the shed roof was burnt off, and bricks destroyed, but
did not remember paying for it. Remembered
Joseph Burlow's brickshed being fired. Could not
remember paying Ensor for throwing needles
among the clay. Paid Hepwell £5 in consequence
of a note saying there had been a delegate meeting,
and that the landlord wanted his rent. Remem-
bered the night of Jump's murder. After the men
were taken up for that, subscriptions were obtained
from Liverpool, Sheffield, Stockport, and other
towns to defend them. There was au amalgamated
society at that time. Some unions send one, some
two, and some three delegates. He was a delegate.
They met at the Crown and Cushion, Manchester,
every six months, and while it lasted they were chiefly
engaged devising plans to make the union more
perfect, and to work it. Never heard any of the
plans for these outrages discussed at these meetings,
but if any member got into difficulty through such
outrages the Amalgamated Society- would devise
means to help him. Jump's case was one of these
difficulties. Witness and John Barlow were dele-
gates to the St. Helen's Society to ask aid in that
affair. A meeting was held at St. Helen's, and he
attended the meeting and explained the case. He
knew of the outrage then, but he had a doubt at
the time if the men apprehended were the guilty
persons. lie believed they afterwards received £lO
to £2O from St. Helen's. 11 as a delegate to Oldham
in:the same affair, and saw the president. They gave
us then and here £lO, and sent more afterwards—
not more than £5 or £lO. The next place they
went to was Stockport. They called a meeting,
and sent us £lO or £l5. Went to Birkenhead, and
the union called a council meeting, and received
about the same amount from them. Went to Liver-
pool, where they got about £3O. Went to Shef-
field and saw the president, a man named Stanley,
who :called a meeting and they gave £l5. The
total amount subscribed might be nearly £4OO. At
Ashton themselves they made groat levies, but he
did not know that they raised £lOO there. They
paid £2OO for the defence. The other portion of
the money went to " Big Johnny," who came to
him and asked if there was to be "a cure," which
meant getting Ensor and Gregory out of the coun-
try. Witness paid him £3O, and afterwards a second
£3O. lie said he should want more. Witness asked
no questions what he had done, but understood
what it was for. He came afterwards and witness
paid him two sums of £2O. Witness paid the
first at the Crown and Cushion, and the second
at the club-house in Liverpool. All he ever got to
know of the man was that he was employed about
the docks, and that he was afterwards transported
for stealing wheat. " Big Johnny" said he had
made Ensor and Gregory " right " when he had
received £lOO. He required more money for Toole
and Ryan to make them " safe," and when he had
done it two more 30's and two more 20's were given
for that, making £2OO in all. There might be
other applications to the Unions mentioned, but
did not remember them. Remembered hearing of
the Reddish outrage, near Stockport, and his society
gave £lO towards the defence of the men who beat
Wild. The payment of the money collected
was intrusted to witness and Barlow. Would
swear that he never saw " Big Johnny"
before he came for the money. He had
happened to draw £3O not knowing Johnny
would come, but Johnny seemed to know that he
had drawn it. Drew the money at Manchester, and
the man came and said the men had been made
secure, and he paid him.
By Mr. Chance—When he drew the money at
the Manchester clubhouse some one remarked that
he would soon have to part with it, so when "Big
Johnny" asked him for the money he was prepared.
" Big Johnny" was tried at Liverpool four or five
years ago, and was transported. His right name was
something like John Haley, and he " favert" to be
an Irishman.

James Kershaw sworn—ls a brickmaker, and a
member of the Manchester Union. Is the president,
and Henry Grieve is the secretary. Had possession
of the keys on Monday night, and the officer of the
court might have had them if he had not taken the
box forcibly away, and they gave up the keys to
their legal adviser. The keys belonged to the six
keyholders. They would have given the officers
anything out of the box, but for what they thought
an outrage in taking the box away. He threw the
two keys he had on the floor. Did not know who
picked them up, on his, oath, and if he had really
said he had turned them over to his legal adviser he
had made a mistake. He understood their legal
adviser told them to throw their keys away. There
would be £6 or £8 in one of the boxes, and the
regalia.

Mr. Pickering—Was that finery ?—Yes, there
was a flag or two, a wooden sword, and an old wig
or two. (Laughter.) Another box contained the
cash-book and minute-book. Had no objection to
the box being broken open.
Mr. W. P. Roberts, solicitor (to witness)—You
don't want the box broken open ?
Mr. Pickering—You must not speak to the wit-
ness. I beg you will understand that distinctly.
We must have the rules of the Court observed.
Witness further mid be had seen it noticed in the
paper that the boxes would be broken open if the
keys were not produced to-day.
Mr. Roberts said witness could not give leave to
open the box. It belonged to a society, of which
he was a member only.
The inquiry was then adjourned.

LIVERPOOL COTTON 111ARKE7—This Day.

Market opens with fair inquiry at yesterday's
rates. Sales probably 10,000 bales.

TILE EMPEROR NlPOLEON.—Yesterday a tablet
was inserted iu the front of the house, No. 3, King-street,
St. JaineS'S-square, by Madame Berti, to denote that the
Emperor Napoleon lived there while in this country. 'rho
inscription is as follows:—"Napoleon 111. lived here,
1848."

With reference to the statement in the Liberte
that the Sultan has granted the English Government per.
mission to enlist volunteers in Arabia for the Abyssinian
Expedition, we are authorised to say that no such permis-
sion has been applied for by her Majesty's Government.
LOST IN TiIE LONDON.—John Carder, a ferryman,
picked up in Exmouth harbour on Sunday a bottle con-
taining a tailor's bill, on the back of which was written—
"Lost in the ship London —Francis Day. Advertise to
my friends that I have £3,000 in the London and West-
minster Bank." The paper was immediately handed to
Mr. Matthews, the collector of customs. The ship Lon-
don, it will be remembered, was lost in the Bay of Biscay
on the 11th January, 1866. Western Morning News.
rhe course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 80 days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.
