,uspected Child Murgr.

Last evening, at six o'clock, Mr. William Carter, the
coroner for East Surrey, opened an inquest in the board-
room of Camberwell Workhouse, respecting the death of a
male child, found in the Grand Surrey Canal.
Joseph Murrell said that he was in the service of Mr.
Neville, the proprietor of the Watermen's Arms, in Hill-
street, whose premises adjoin the Surrey Canal. Yesterday
(Monday) morning, at half-past 10 o'clock, he was on his
premises, when he saw a fiat fish-basket between two boats.
He raised it, and the basket fell to pieces, and a bundle
came out of it. It was wrapped up in a kind of calico, and
bound round with cord, and by pressing it with the sticks
he found that it contained the body of a child. He gave
the deceased to the parish officer (Mr. W oodman). Tho
body was so badly decomposed that he could not handle it.
Mr. Woodman said•that from information he received he
went to the Watermen's Arms beerhouse, and received the
body of a dead male child. He weighed the body, and
found that it was of full growth. The body was wrapped
in a portion of an old sheet and brown paper. The body
was much soddened, and appeared to have been in the
water five or six days.

The learned Coroner put it to the jury whether they
would like to adjourn, to have an autopsy of the body. The
body was in such a state of decomposition that it appeared
to him that it would be almost impossible to tell Whether
the lungs bad been inflated or not. Therefore, if they did
not require any further evidence ho should advise the
jury to return an open verdict.
The jury returned a verdict of "Found Drowned."

obedient servants,

"REGINALD KINGSTON, Bishop of Kingston.
THOMAS STEWAIIT, D.D., Archdeacon of Surrey.
WILLIAM MAYHEW, Rector of St. Andrew, &c."
To tho forging address Mr. Eyre returned a reply in
these terms :

"TO THE RIGHT REV. THE LORD BISHOP OF KINGSTON,
THE VENERABLE ARCHDEACON STEWART, THE REV. T.
MAYHEW, &C.

"My Lord Bishop and Rev. Gentlemen,—l thank you
very gratefully for your generous and warm-hearted ad-
dross of regard and sympathy on my removal from the
Government of Jamaica.

" I assure you that it is both gratifying to me and greatly
consolatory to know that after a long residence amongst
you, and after having had to guide the colony through
scenes of great difficulty and trial, I retain the confidence
and esteem of the clergy of the country, whose good opi-
nion (living as they have done oa the spot, and knowing
intimately all the circumstances connected with the late re-
bellion) is in itself the strongest testimony I can offer that
I have not merited the imputations which have been
alleged against me by persons not in the polfmy at tic
time, and perfoetly aefinai.,ted with the true nature of the
event:, or :Laving acted either with injustice or with undue
severity in repressing an insurrection which imperilled the
lives and property of the inhabitants, and jeopardised the
safety of the colony.

" I heartily concur with you in regarding the change
recently effected in the form of Government of the island
as likely to confer great and lasting benefits upon the corn-
roitinity, and I shall over feel proud that it was accom-
plished during my administration of the Government, and
in a great degree through my own personal exertions.
" It is most gratifying to me to think that when I am
gone from amongst you there will still remain this per-
manent proof of my anxiety to benefit the colony, and that
my efforts were not unsuccessful.
_ _

" For the good feeling and friendly intercourse which
have ever characterised my connection with the clergy of
Jamaica I am most deeply indebted to you.

"It has been a great pleasure to me to co-operate cor-
dially with you in all matters affecting the interests of the
Church, and I pray that God's blessing may rest upon
your continued labours to promote his Honour, and ad-
vance the temporal and spiritual welfare of the people en-
trusted to your charge.
"Mrs. Eyre unites with me in sincere and affectionate
thanks for your good wishes towards ourselves and chil-
dren. " E. EYRE.

Schrceter, indeed, was induced to think ho had detected a
lunar twilight, through observing a faint glimmer at the
extreme cusps of the crescent soon after new moon. From
this he could infer the existence of an atmosphere to a cal-
culated height of 450 metres above the mean level of the
plains. But his observation has not been borne out by
later experimentalists. On the contrary the extreme sharp-
ness of the lunar shadows, and their intense darkness, ex-
tending equally from the top to the bottom of the moun-
tains, together with the absence of gradations or differences
of tint, forbid the idea of gaseous or atmospheric strata of
varying intentiity.—Saturday Review,

RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 14.
The Official Northern Post of to-day publishes
the following :

"The investigation into the late attempt to
assassinate the Czar has terminated.

" Several accomplices in the attempt have been
arrested, and have confessed their guilt. Their
names will shortly be made public.
" Two societies, founded on the principles of
Socialism and hostility to the Government, existed
at Moscow under the names of Organisation and
Hell. These societies were in connexion with the
European Revolutionary Committee.

" A number of Poles, who supplied the members
with poison, belonged to these societies.
"The object of the attempt on the life of the
Czar was to bring about a general rising and revolu-
tion in Russia.

" A Polish agency for the introduction of forged
Russian Bank notes in the Empire has also been
discovered."

The Great Plate and Jewel Robbery at WI
Whitmore's.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of las
evening.]

This afternoon George Johnson, alias Captain Martin
alias George Jigg, was indicted at the Old Bailey for beirt
in possession of a quantity of loose diamonds and a pair of
valuable earrings, a portion of the property stolen fromtho
residence of Mr. Whitmore, M.P. for Bridguorth, in July
last. The prisoner had called at the house of Mr.
Whitmore upon a frivolous errand, • and it is sup-
posed that while he was standing inside Mr. Whitmore'a
house for an answer to his inquiry he let in an accompKee,
who succeeded in • carrying off a vast quantity of Flavor
plate from the dining room, and jewels from the bed room,
of Mrs. Whitmore.

The prisoner, it was proved, about 11 .days after the
robbery, sold 150 diamonds; and also took the earrings tq,
an engraver to have certain marks erased, and on his going
to the shop to get them again, he was captured by the
police. •

In his defence the prisoner said he purchased the things
of a man in the neighbourhood of Messrs. Debenbam and
Storr's sale-room in Covent-garden.
The jury found him guilty.

Some police officers in attendance said the prisoner was
the associate of burglars, and that at his lodgings they
found a variety of housebreaking implements (produced
of the most perfect description. '

The prisoner said the police had hunted him down f:COM.
spite.

The Common-Sergeant sentenced him to seven years'
penal servitude.
The earrings and diamonds produced at the trial were
ordered to be given up to Mr. Whitmore.

(Before Mr. Sergeant Dowling.)
THE RIOTS IN HYDE PARK.

Samuel Alias; 13, Alfred Barrett, 14, David Clarke, la,
Patrick Hortigan, 15, and Charles Jones, 14, were indicted
for stealing 16elb. weight of lead, value £lss., the property
of the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Works andPublio
Buildings, and Joseph Mitchell was indicted for the re-
ceiving and buying the same; well knowing it to havebeeu
stolen.

Three of the prisoners, dirty-looking urchins, pleaded
guilty, the others not guilty.

It appeared that the five boys had stolen the lead
from the railing which had been pulled down by the
" roughs" at the Refol..n meeting in Hyde-park, and had
taken it to the prisoner Mitchell's house in Brindley-stroet
to sell.

The jury found Barratt and Mitchell not guilty.
The other prisoners, who had pleaded guilty, were then
put forward to receive the judgment of the Court.
Mr. Sergeant Dowling sentenced them to three days' im-
prisonment, and as all sentences date from the first day of
the session they were then discharged.

Shocking Accident on a Racecourse.

Yesterday afternoon, during the running for the 'Wol-
verhampton—which are the chief stakes at the races which
began in the town of that name on that day, and which
will be continued to-day—a shocking accident happened,
by which, as we write, the information is that two persons
have been killed and 14 injured, nine of them so seriously
as to be taken as patients to the South Staffordshire Gene-
ral Hospital in Wolverhampton. The catastrophe her
pened at 10 minutes past 4 o'clock, when some 80,000
people were at the highest pitch of excitement consequent
upon the coming in of the horses that were contending for
the stakes. The race, which was twice round, was a stiff
one between the eight horses which contended. As the
race race proceeded the fortunes of the horses seemed to w'
frequently, and the favourite was being beaten just at the
moment when the winning-post was being reached. Near
to the goal was a temporary stand, upon which some s°''
spectators had paid for standing-places ; and the occupants
seemed to be intensely interested in the issue of the race'
Like the rest of the people, they were cheering and wnvief
their bats, when suddenly, with a terrible crash, the whole
fabric with all its occupants fell to the ground. The stand
was composed of seven tiers of timber planks, fastened to
uprights by ropes, the centres being supported upon
timbers. Beneath the lowest seat there were barrels of
ale. Upon these the 500 spectators and their timber stand
came crushing down with varied results. The injuries
sustained by some were shocking, and only little reason'
able hope is expressed of their recovery. Among the ePec
taters in the Grand Stand, were the Right Hon. 0.
Villiers, the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of
Stamford and Warrington, Sir Henry Johnson, and other
noblemen. cross-

A MANCHESTER PIANISTE IN GERMANY. —The
Niederrheinische Musikzeitung of the 28th ult., pub-
lished at Cologne, under the editorship of Professor Bis-
choff, thus speaks of a young lady belonging to this city
who has been studying at the Musical Conservatory in
that town, and who is shortly returning to this country :
—" We had lately an opportunity to witness in a private
circle of this town the performance of Miss Victor:a Rosen-
feld, one of the ablest piano players that have received
their training in our Musical Conservatory. This young
lady is possessed of a very considerable general talent for
musio,—a talent that assisted her also in profound studies
on the science and theory of that art. In her play on the
piano she has achieved already a high degree of skill and
power, and the technical finish by Which she masters the
instrument, as well as the bounty of her touch, aro truly
remarkable. In her delivery wemoticed an u rcommon gift
of expression and that sensible shadowing without which
a true artist cannot be imagined. With such rare qualities
we cannot but augur for her a very successful career in
her beautiful alt, and our best wishes accompany her on
her return to England."-47lIanchccer Examinv, Aug 4,

ALLEGED UNMANLY ATTACK UPON A WOMAN.—A young
man, who gave the name of James King, was charged with
violently assaulting Emily Rigby, whose, head bore marks
of ill-treatment.

Complainant said she was standing on Friday night
last 'with her sister near the Gun Tavern in Lupus-
street, Pimlico, when the defendant, who had been on
terms of intimacy with her sister, suddenly came in sight
and rushed towards them. Her sister ran away, when he
immediately attacked her by knocking her down and then
kicking her on the head and arms. Her head was bathed
for an hour or two, and then she went to St. George's Hos-
pital, of which she is still an in-patient.
Mr. Selfe—Did anything pass between you before he
struck you ?
Complainant—Not a word. I had not given him any
offence or any provocation.

Charles Tapping, of 125, Lupus-street, said he was in
Lupus-street between 10 and 11 o'clock last Friday night,
and saw defendant run towards the complainant and knock
her down with a blow on the breast. She gave him no
provocation, and he thought, of course, that they were
man and wife.

Mr. Selfe—Oh, yes ; he thought he was exercising his
marital rights. (Laughter.)

Witness— After he had done it he ran away. Ho seemed
to know very well what he was about.

Defendant denied the assault, and the sister, in her de-
sire to screen him, endeavoured, in direct opposition to the
disinterested witness, to show that complainant was very
drunk, and fell down and hurt herself.
The officer who took defendant into custody proved that
complainant's sister threatened her violently, and said that
she knocked her down.

A witness was afterwards produced, who said that de-
fendant knocked complainant down by accident in trying
to strike her sister.
Mr. Selfe fined him 20s. or 14 days.
