Witness —That letter refers to another circumstance.

Mr. Paynter—Did you write to your wife after you re-
ceived information that she was packing up her things to
come to London ?
Witness—No.

Mr. Paynter—This letter must have been written on
Saturday, and on looking at the almanac the invitation
corresponds with the day on which Urs. Rowley came to
London.

Witness—My wife came to London from Dawlish by rail-
way. She came in the guard's van, but I am not aware
that she was compelled to do so from want of means. 1
swear it could not have been so, as she kept in a bag, which
she called her bank, a considerable sum of money.
Mr. Metcalfe here read another letter from Mr. Rowley
in May, 1854, written in the most affectionate terms to his
wife.

Mr. Paynter—Both parties appear to have written in the
same strain.

Mr. Metcalfa—At the time you wrote that letter, were
you acquainted with Mrs. Green ?
Witness—l was not. I was not acquainted with Mrs.
Green until the latter end 0f1854-.

Mr. Metcalfe here put in an album containing an entry
that it was the gift from him to Mrs. Green in 1854.
Mr. Mowley—That date must be a mistake. I should
like to know how you got this book.
Mr. Metcalfe—Never mind. It came from the executors
of Mn. Green.

Mr. Rowley—l think I shall be able to prove a con-
spiracy between the executors and my late wife. In answer
to further questions, he said—l first became acquainted
with Mrs. Green in 1855, and lived with her as man and
wife. I continued to do so for some time, but it was not
until Mrs. Rowley left me.
Mr. Paynter—l object to this evidence, as it tends to
prove adultery. All they had to deal with was perjury.
Mr. Metcalfe—No doubt, but there is a charge that Mr.
Rowley left his wife without money, and although ho is an
"honourable " by courtesy ho ought to be dealt with just
as an ordinary person.
Mr. Rowley here handed to the magistrate a letter he
had received from his wife after she had left him.

Mr. Paynter havtog read the letter,
Mr. Metcalfe Maimed to have it read.
Mr. Sleigb. objected.
Mr. MPAcalfe—l am:entitled to object to the magistrate's
readir •
a letter if I am not to sea it.
Paynter—l have a right to read the letter in ques-
tion. If lam called upon to commit Mrs. Rowley for trial,
I am entitled to sea every document, and decide whether it
is evidence. I decide that this letter is not evidence. _ _

Cross-examination continued—l remember writing, but I
never said," I was in good keeping, and you had better
go and do the same." When Mrs. Rowley was stay-
ing with Mr. Gye I charged her with being
unfaithful to me, and on one occasion, while sleeping with
me, Mrs. Rowley expressed her regret at the loss of her
baby, and when I said, " What baby ?" she said she had
had a miscarriage while at Mr. Gye's.
The witness was then examined as to what took place in
1856, when he was in Constantinople, at which time the
learned counsel said he was instructed that Mr. Rowley left
his wife in a starving condition.
The magistrate interfered, and informed Mr. Metcalfe
that he must keep within the rules of evidence.
Mr. Metcalfe complained of the tone in which he had been
treated by the magistrate, and said he was rejoiced that in
the next step of the inquiry he should have a jury to deal
with, and not the opinion of a single individual. It was
not at all likely that he could finish his cross-examination
that day.
The magistrate said that being so, it would be bettor if
they then adjourned.
It was then arranged that the case should be further
heard OR Tuesday next.

ROWING MATCH FOR £55.

The long-expected rowing match between Chitty and
Mancey took place yesterday. The race created consider-
able interest amongst rowing men above bridge, there being
a considerable difference in years between the men, and
Mancey staking DO to his opponent's £25 as an equivalent
for age. The course was from Putney to Mortlake, and.
notwithstanding the lateness of the season, there was a
very large assemblage of persons along the banks of the
course, besides many boats. Henry Kelly, the ex-cham-
pion of the Thames, was referee. Both men were in first-
rate condition, and Chitty was slightly the favourite.
Chitty got the best place to start from, and had he not
there is no question that the result would have been the
same. He got the start gradually, foot by foot at first, and
then yard by yard wont right away from his man to the end,winning easily. Mancey rowed gallantly, but never could
get near hia more powerful though older opponent.

The Akhbar announces that a pamphlet written
by M. Duvornois, and entitled "La Reaction," had been
seized at Algiers, by order of M. Kulmann, Procureur Im-
perial, as infringing the laws. The Akkbar does not state
the nature of the offence.

The steam-frigate Christophe Colomb has arrived
at Marseilles from Algiers, having General de Martimprey
on board. Soon after the frigate left Algiers she met with
a violent gale of wtnd, which compelled her to run into
Roses, where she remained two days before she could again
put to sea. The general left Marseilles at once for Paris.
How TO AVOID EXPLOSIONS OF KITCHEN
BOILERS.—There ought to be a safety-pipe from the boiler
conducted up the chimney, higher than the level of the
supply cistern, and then conducted out of the chimney
to any place where the issuing of excessive steam would
be noticed. Em that purpose it might be ro-conducted
to the kitchen, where the escape of steam would demon-
strate to the cook that tho water in the ilreer
was dangerously low, and that she must thelt,tofire
go out or burn the boiler, for an explosion could
not take place, t be generated,
as a safety -valve for any steam that. might simply because the. pipe would act

the freezing up. of even cold water pipes may be pre
vented by allowing the water to trickle, even in a very
minute stream, from ono of the taps constantly during a
hard frost. It is surprising what an amount of hard frost
is required to congeal a running stream. The non-freezing
of the water of a spring, however, is not owing to the mo-
tion so much as to the temperature at which it issues from
the earth... Manchester Guardian.
EXECUTION IN FRANCE.—A man named Martin,
alias Pinson, who was condemned to death some short time
since by the Court of Assizes of the Charente for the mur-
der of his wife, underwent his sentence two days ago at
Angouleme. The guillotine had been erected during the
night in the market-place, but the prisoner was not in-
formed until five o'clock in the morning that his last hour
had arrived. When he heard the chaplain enter his cell,
he saw that all hopes of reprieve were over for him, and
he became so cast down that after the usual ceremo-
nial of the toilette had been performed, he could scarcely
stand. At about eight o'clock the cortege left the prison,
the chaplain supporting Martin on one side, and one of the
jailors on the other. On reaching the foot of the scaffold
he could not move, and it was found necessary to carry him
up the steps. On arriving on the platform, he seemed al-
most unconscious, and in a few seconds all was over. Not-
withstanding the severe cold an immoneo crowd had assem-
bled to witness the execution'
