The Ere Defence and Aid Fund.
A meeting of the committee of the above fund
was held at No. 9, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, on 3d
October—Col. Henry de Bathe in the chair. The
hon. secretary read the following letter from Sir R.
Murchison, Bart. :
" Erl Wood, Bagshot, Oct. 2, 1866.

" Sir, —ln apologising for not being able to attend the
committee of the Eyre Fund to-morrow, I inclose a cheque
fur my subscription. I rejoice to find that we are going on
so well, and I trust that the fund will be so increased that
we may be able to hand over to my distinguished friend,
the ex-Governor, a testimonial worthy of the man who
saved a great British colony.—Your obedient servant,
" RODERICK MURCHISON."

" Resolved that the Right Hon. the Earl of Shrewsbury
and Talbot be requested to accept the position of President
and that Sir Roderick Murchison, Bart., and Thomas Car-
lyle, Esq., be asked to act as vice-presidents."
Mr. CARLYLE said it would afford him very great
pleasure to comply with the request of the commit-
tee.

Mr. 11. llrneE (the hon. secretary) then proceeded
to explain the steps that had been taken to promote
the objects of the fund since last meeting. He said'
that he in the first instance addressedaletter to most
of the provincial papers in the threekingdoms, asking
for their support in the formation of sub-committees;
that this appeal had had considerable effect, sub-
committees were either formed or about to be orga-
nised, at the following places :—Liverpool, Edin-
burgh, Glasgow, Cheltenham, Southampton, Aber-
deen, Bath, Hastings, Leeds, Bradford, Dublin, Isle
of Wight, Chichester, Plythouth, and Cambridge,
and that in the course of the next month he hoped
to be able to name fifty other towns. Ile had also
written to the commanding officer of every regi-
ment and depot battalion in the service, and to
the captains of every one of her Majesty's
ships in commission. Ho proposed, if the com-
mittee saw no objection, to appeal to every indivi-
dual member of the Civil Service in India, and to for-
ward a pamphlet to them. The Working Men's
Conservative Association at Bradford had forwarded
to him (Mr. Hume) an address to be presented to
Mr. Eyre at the proper time, and the Working Men's
Conservative Association at Leeds proposed follow-
ing their example. Other working men's associa-
tions were being appealed to, so that the feeling of
the public at large might be arrived at. With re-
ference to an application to the Bishop of Jamaica
to join the committee, made since the last meeting,
a reply had been received, from which the following
was an extract :

" Personally I have an earnest sympathy with Mr. Ey re
I warmly admire his character and history, as far as they
are known to me ; and I firmly believe that the speedy sup-
pression of the murderous insurrections in Jamaica is at-
tributable, under God's providence, to the promptitude,
courage, and judgment with which he acted under circum-
stances of peculiar difficulty and danger. From all that I
have heard of Mr. Eyro's career, I believe that his humanity
and kindness of heart, his love of justice and mercy, and
his eminently Christian principles, qualified him in a very
high degree for the discharge of his arduous and painful
duties at a most critical period of the history of the colony
whose government he had to administer.

" I am fully sensible of the honour conferred on me by
your request, and while I trust that no exigence for the
further defence of Mr. Eyre's conduct will arise to render
any application of the fund raised by the committee neces-
sary to that particular purpose, I shall rejoice to find that
some compensation shall have boon provided by the suc-
cessful exertions of the committee for the loss unhappily
entailed on Mr. Eyre by his disconnexion from the public
service, in which he had been so long and so honourably
employed."

Lord Allan Churchill, Dr. Grey (of the British
➢luseum), Professor Tyndall, and the Hon. Francis
Lawley added their names to the committee.
Mr. RUSKIN proposed a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

Colonel BROWNLOW KNox, M.P., seconded the
proposition.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

UTTERING A FORGED ORDER.—John Pelly was charged
before Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., with uttering a forged
order with a view to defraud Messrs. Bamford and Co., the
extensive wholesale silk and woollen dealers in the City.

It appeared that on the 21st of last mouth a man named
Brown wont to the premises of Messrs. Bamford and Co.,
and presented an order purporting to be sent from Messrs.
Dibben and Co., 91 and 92, Cheapside. The foreman
observed that it was not signed, and said he would send a
porter with it to Messrs. Dibben and Co.'s, but Brown said
that was unnecessary, as the party who gave him the order
was waiting at the post-office. A porter was accordingly
sent with him, but no such person as ho described having
made his appearance, Brown was given into custody, and
was remanded till Monday next.
Police-constable 640 said that from information he re-
ceived last night he to )1c the prisoner into custody outside
the offices 14, George-street, Mansion-house, solicitors and
printers, where the prisoner was employed as housekeeper•
He told him the charge, and Brown, who was with wit-
ness, said to the prisoner, "Yon owe me 3s. 6d.," to which
he r, plied, "If I do I will pay you." He afterwards denied
that ho had over seen Brown before. On being taken to the
station he was placed with three or four other men, and a
waiter at the 'Talbot, Gray's-inn-lane, was sent for, who im-
mediately identified him from the other men as being the
party who employed him on the 21st of last month to pro-
cure a messenger.
William Wedgwood, the waiter in question, proved that
the prisoner had been at the Talbot three times on the
day in question, and to his (witness) having called Brown,
who was a porter well known in the neighbourhood, and
prisoner being in conversation afterwards.
Prisoner denied that he had admitted to the constable
any previous acquaintance with Brown, whom he said ho
had•never seen before yesterday.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

BOW-STREET.
George Smith and George Cook were placed at the bar
charged with stealing a quantity of brass work, the pro-
perty of Mr. Mancur.
Police-constable 519 I, said on the morning of the
of September ho was on duty, in Whitehall, when he met
the two prisoners carrying a basket, which appeared very
heavy. He asked them what it contained, when Smith
said brass fittings, which be was carrying from Walworth-
road to Hampstead-road. lie took the cover off the baskk
and found three bydopults, which had been partly de-
stroyed, two steam indicators, and various other articles of
such a nature that led to believe that a robbery had been
committed. He took the two prisoners into custody, and
since that time it had been discovered that the property
was the result of a robbery:

Mr. Edward Mancur said the prisoner Smith was a man
he had taken in out of the streets, to do odd jobs in his
workshop at Brunswick-place, Walwortb. The first inti-
mation he had of the prisoner's dishonesty was that on one
occasion he was directed to take noire clothes' wringers to
the Agricultural-hall, for the Industrial Exhibition, and
which articles ho found were never delivered. He gave
information to the poli,:o of the robbery, and shortly after-
wards his workshop was broken open, and the property
produced by the constable, which he valued at £2O, was
stolen. It had been rendered almost valueless by being
broke up. The indicators, in their complete state, were
alone worth between £3 and £4, but in the condition they
were now they would only be valuable as old metal.
Smith said it was not true that the witness had fed and
clothed him as he had stated. Ho was quite innocent of
stealing either the wringers or the brass fittings.
The Magistrate reminded the prisoner Smith that the
latter articles, which had been stolen from the prosecutor's
workshop, had been found in his possession, and if, as he
said, ho was innocent of the robbery, he had better
tell the jury so at his trial. If they thought he had not
stolen the property they would, of course, acquit him.
Cook said he was only engaged by the other person to
help him to carry the basket, for which he was to have a
shilling.
The police-constable said both prisoners refused to give
their address.

The magistrate committed both prisoners for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SFURIOITS BUSMAN COlNB.—George Robson, of No. 8,
Princes-row, Bedford-row, was charged before Mr. Knox
with uttering a counterfeit Russian three rouble piece, with
intont to defraud Mr. Henry Greaves, jeweller, of No. 50,
Great Portland-street.

Mr. Greaves said—About half-past 6 yesterday evening
the prisoner came in and threw the coin produced on the
counter, and asked what it was worth. I directly picked
it up, and as soon as I bad done so, a friend of the prisoner's
stepped in and said "Oh, it's gold. I should have a ring
made of it, if I were you, and attach it to my chain." I
retained the coin, having previously had a communication
from the police respecting frauds with similar coins, and
detained the prisoner while I sent for a constable, and on
one coming gave the prisoner into custody. I believe
there have been a number of similar coins passed at jewel-
lers.

Inspector Garforth, E division—l was at the station when
the prisoner was brought in by police-constable 35 E, and
he said he bought the coin in Hatton-garden, at a refiners,
far Bs. 6d., but.that he did not know the name of the
re-
finer. Information has been given by the police to jewel-
lers, cautioning them against purchasing the coins.
Mr. Knox—There is some difficulty in the case. In the
first place, the prisoner did not tender the coin for the
purpose of changing it—he merely asked its value ; and, in
the second place, there is no proof that it is a counterfeit of
a Russian coin.

Inspector Garforth—l have a person here who purchased
one of the coins, and if the prisoner is remanded I can pro-
duce 20 others.

Henry Ashman, assistant to Mr. George Pickett, jeweller,
265, Oxford-street, said—On Tuesday last the prisoner
offered me one of the coins for sale. I asked what it was,
and believe the prisoner said it was gold. He said ho had
had it by him for some time, and ho wished to get rid of
it, as it was of no use to him. I judged from its weight
that it was genuine, and took it up to Mr. Rickett, who,
believing it to be genuine, said I might give 235. for it. I
did so, and the prisoner left. I identified the prisoner last
night at the station as the person I purchased the coin of.
I have had the coin tested, and it is platina. I have com-
pared it with a Russian coin at a money-changers, and it
is similar.

Mr. Knox—l should liko to see a genuine Russian coin,
if ono can be procured.
Mr. Garforth left for the purpose, and returned and said
—I have been to a money changers, and they state that the
coin is a genuine coin, made of platina, but gilt over. Its
original value is about 9s. 6d.

Mr. Knox—The prisoner will be remanded, and the Rus.
sian Consul can be communicated with.

Metropolitan Board of `Yorks.

A meeting of the board was was held yesterday, at
noon, at Spring-gardens, for the purpose of opening
tenders by parties who should be willing to contract
for the construction of an arched viaduct, with
paved roadway thereon, 885 k feet in length, or
thereabout, with other works in connectioL' there-
with, comprising a similar length of subway, „partly
of iron and partly of masonry and brickwork, sLtuate
upon the foreshore of the River Thames, betwe en
the eastern end of the Inner Temple and Blackfriars-
bridge. Sir John Thwaites presided.
The board being assembled, the CHAIRMAN an-
nounced that he had received seven tenders, which
he proceeded to read as follows :—Messrs. Hill and
Kiddie, £302,000 ; Mr. Thos. Pearson, £265,000 ;
Messrs. Hitchcock and Williams, £344,700; Messrs.
Brassey and Co., £305,000 ; Mr. A. W. Ritson,
£239,000 ; Mr. J. Thakeray, £320,000 ; and Mr.
W. Webster, £268,000.
The board then deliberated in private.over the re-
spective tenders. •
On the readmission of the public it was intimated
that the whole of the tenders had been referred to
the Works and Improvement Committee to investi-
gate and report.
The Clerk read the report of the Finance Com-
mittee, which was agreed to. It stated that they
had again endeavoured to obtain the amounts of the
rateable annual value of the property in the city of
London, but that the guardians of the City of Lon-
don Union and the West London Union had refused
to supply the necessary information. They, there-
fore, being of opinion that the rentals should be offi-
cially obtained, had instructed the solicitor to pre-
pare the necessary forms, to be sealed by the board,
for demanding copies of the rentals within seven
days, agreeably to the provisions of the Main Drain-
age Act.
THE THAMES EMBANKMENT (CONTRACT I.).

A report was brought up by Mr. Freeman from
the Works and General Purposes Committee, as
follows -.E---." Your honourable board, having oa Fri-,
day lasfreferred to your committee for consideration
and repo' t the copy of the deed of arrangement
entered-into between Mr. Furness, under the autho-
rity of his inspector appointed on behalf of his
estate, and Mr. Thos. Brassey and other parties, for
facilitating the completion of his contract, your
committee accordingly proceeded on the reference,
and have also considered the letter from Mr. Fur-
ness, referred to them on the same day, requesting
that in future all sums of money to be paid to him by
your honourable board on account of bis contract
for the Thames embankment works might, in
pursuance of his arrangement with Mr. Brassey, be
paid to an account opened at the Union Bank of
London, in the names of Messrs. Brassey, Ogilvie,
and Harrison. The deed referred to makes over the
contract to Messrs. Brassey, but to be continued in
Mr. Furness's name. The committee have given
the subject careful consideration, and had consulted
their solicitor (Mr. Smith), and have learned that
the arrangement entered into by Mr. Furness, so far
as the progress of the works are concerned, will not
unfavourably affect the present position of the board.
Your committee could not refrain from reverting to
delay in the progress of the works, notwithstanding
the endeavours they have made to accelerate it.
The committee saw no objection to the application
of Mr. Furness that cheques should be crossed
Messrs. Brassey and Co. ; indeed such a proposi-
tion is only fair to Mr. Brassey. Your committee
therefore recommend that all sums of money should
be so crossed." •

Mr. FREEMAN, in moving that the report be ap-
proved of, said the Thames embankment works, un-
der contract No. 1, were getting on, he might say
vigorously. There was a large quantity of material
on the ground, and since last week the number of
men engagedhad been increased to 600. He thought
it would be advisable, and tend to increase the pro-
gress of the works of the board, should they accede
to the request of Mr. Furness that the cheques be
crossed " Brassey and Co."
Mr. EVANS seconded the motion.
Mr. ROCHE moved an amendment, that the mat-
ter be referred back to the committee.

Major LYON, in a long address; contended that
the works ought to be pushed on with energy and
despatch. He should certainly vote for the original
motion. -

After a few words from Mr. LEGG,
The motion was put and the recommendation of
the committee agreed to.

After some routine business had been disposed 01
the board adjourned at a late hour.

A New Gunpowder.

Every day some new discovery is being made in
the instruments and appliances of war, and the last
invention promises certainly not to be one of the
least important. A Swiss inventor has discovered
an explosive compound which we believe has been
offered for experiment to our War-office authorities.
It consists of a powder the ingredients of which are
as yet unknown, as they are the secret of the inven-
tor. This powder is intended to be used only as a
bursting charge for shells or for explosive rifle
bullets ; in fact, it can be used as a charge for every
species of projectile, and its force is so great that a
bullet charged with it and fired from the ordinary
Enfield rifle suffices to blow up the caisson
of an artillery waggon. What its effect
would be when forming the charge of the
hollow projectiles of the heavier species of
ordnance is as yet unknown, as it has not hitherto
been experimented upon on a large scale, but judg-
ing from that produced by the very small quantity
of the powder contained in a hollow missile fired
from the ordinary rifle it must prove a terrible en-
gine of destruction. Although possessing such for-
midable explosive qualities, this composition is, in its
ordinary condition, one of the safest known, as it
only explodes when the hollow projectile charged
with it strikes some object when fired from a rifle
or piece of ordnance ; even then the shell does not
burst till it has penetrated the substance against
which it strikes. A. bullet charged with this sub-
stance can be flung about and struck without any
explosion resulting from the roughest treatment ;
upon being thrown into a fire the bullet will be
fused, and no explosion ensues. Upon the powder
being placed upon a sheet of paper and a light being
applied to it, it burns slowly and without noise,
nearly in the same manner as would a similar quan-
tity of common sulphur. The mode of using it is
extremely simple, as it is simply poured into the shell
till it is well filled with it, and the orifice through
which was introduced is then stopped up in the
manner that seems most convenient—in the case of
a rifle bullet, for instance, with a piece of wax. No
fuse is required to determine the ignition, of the. shell.
One of its most important qualities, however, is,
that by adding to, or diminishing one of the ingre-
dients, the explosion of the shell, after striking, may
be retarded or accelerated, so that in firing, we
shall say at an iron-plated ship of war, it may be so
arranged as to explode either between decks after
having penetrated the side, or in the side of the ves-
sel itself, and the breach made by such a formidable
mine would, most probably, utterly destroy or sink
the vessel.

It is to be hoped that such an extraordinary dis-
covery will be duly inquired into, and there is little
doubtthatif it is, front experiments that have already
taken place abroad, this new power of destruction
will be an important addition to our land, and,
above all, to our marine artillery.

THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—There is a great
improvement in the weather. Little rain has fallen during
the last 10 days, and the ground is becoming firm. But
the weather is not very favourable for harvest work, as the
atmosphere is generally dull, and there is a want of drying
winds. Slow progress is therefore made in carrying the
cut crops, but great quantities have been rendered compa-
ratively secure by rickling. It is bettor to rickle and wait
with patience than to run any risk in such close weather
by stacking grain in rather soft condition. In the lower
districts farmers are beginning to take up the remainder of
their potatoes. The appearanc3 of the crop when raised
is no worse than might have been anticipated from
about
the
diseased state of the shaws. On light land we see
one-fourth put in the diseased heaps, and we hear of in-
stances in which the loss exceeds one-half on strong land.
From the heavier rainfall, the loss is pretty sure to be
greater in the uplands than it is in the neighbourhood of
Ayr, but the extent of the damage will not be known for
another week or two, as the disease has not run its course
in the case el the late crops—Ayr Advertioer.

NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS.

(THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.

Several " strangers" have already arrived for the second
October trysting, and others are expected by special trains
during this afternoon and evening. The heath was all
alive this morning, a large number of horses galloping.
Amongst the now comers that were at exercise was Lec-
turer, who followed Ackworth a couple of miles clipping, but
he is a small horse, and the generality of the trainers hero
say he is made more for speed than endurance, and declare
that he has no chance with the long-striding, powerful
Lothario, who really goes splendidly. Breeze and he had
a two mile gallop, but the mare goes rather short
just now. Ostreger led A etece a mile and three
quarters; and Plutus took Sultan a mile and a
quarter. La Favorite has returned and had a mile and a
half spin this morning going brilliantly. The Squire
galloped a couple of miles. Master Richard led Vauban,
Lady Hester, Glendale, and the Captain some nice work ;
and Gomera pioneered Ischia, Ives, the Duchess, and
Whirligig. Pantaloon and Kangaroo galloped with che
rest of John Days. Fitzroy went brilliantly, and Brother
to Ascham was going freely. Haidee and Pirate Chief
were, in mile work, Drewett being in attendance upon
them. Podargus was amongst Mr. Sutton's lot, and Split
the Difference led Lord Lyon a mile and three-quarters,
Achievement galloping three-quarters of a mile fast. The
latter seems to improve daily. Emigrant again showed with
the rest of Arnull's, but did very little. The Earl of Derby
went a nice steady gallop; and Mat Dawson was working
Bornbastes, Julius, and Pericles. The Rake and F rip po u nie r
had a beautiful pipe-opener of about a mile, and Janitor
took Jasper and Falkenstein a sireilar distance. Bread-
albane galloped Knight of the Garter, Satyr, and Plunder;
but Broomielaw merely trotted. Lytham, Friday, and
Chapel Royal were at smart exercise. Vulture led Jollity
two miles and a half, and the latter moved beautifully.
Python and Ben Nevis did a mile. Paris and Peon gal-
loped a mile and a half. Il Re Galantuomo and King
Charming did a mile and three-quarters each. Lochaber,
Star of India, Nutbourne Lad, and the Amanda Colt, were
in mile work. Ambition galloped a mile and a half.
