A LUCKY NON-COMMISSIONED OFFlCER.—Ser-
jeant Campion, Ist battalion 18th Royal Irish, now serving
in India, has, by the death of his brother, come in for a
fortune of £lO,OOO. His brother, who had made his money
in Australia, returned to Ireland and purchased an estate
a short time ago, near Fermoy, and on the day of the pur-
chase (being the worse for liquor) rode his horse into the
river at Fermoy, and was drowned. He leaves, as next of
kin, two brothers and one sister, each of whom will have
£10,000. United Serviee Gazette.

In the Constitutionnel appears a paragraph, signet

public mind on account of the high price of bread. He
adds that official measures have been taken that will pre-

FALL OF HOUSES.—Shortly after eight o'clock on
Saturday evening a number of newly-built houses, near the"
Old Kent-road, suddenly fell down with a terrible crash.
At first some fears were entertained that the accident had
been attended with a loss of life, but on examining the
debris it was found that that apprehension was happily
unfounded.

Journalism seems to be looking up in Naples.
Fifteen months since there was but one daily journal in the
capital of the Two Sicilies—the scazetla di _Napoli. Now
there are 16. With so much mental information, and a
little gas, and a little drainage, and a few miles of foot-
pavement in the streets, we may hope for the best, so far as
the Neapolitans are concerned.

THE FORTHCOMING FOOT RACE.—The race be-
tween Deerfoot, the Seneca Indian, and Jackson, "the
American Deer," which is to take place at Brompton on
Monday, the 14th inst., is exciting much interest among
the class of persons who patronise such sports. The Indian,
who defies all comers, is likely, it is thought, to meet with
his match in Jackson, whose friends are backing him well.
The place selected for the match is the West London Cricket
Ground, Brompton, a very suitable place for the perform-
ance, capable of well accommodating quite as many people
as are likely to attend. On the following Monday Deer-
foot will run with a man named Jones, who has obtained
some celebrity in Islington and its neighbourhood, and who
defeated " the Little Wonder" (Mills) a fortnight ago.
With Jackson the match is to be four miles for £5O, and
we believe that the same conditions will be made with
Jones. Deerfoot is also to run next Monday afternoon in
a handioap at Dublin, with Lovett and Mills (the Little
Wonder before mentioned), both of whom he has previously
defeated. Sharp running, however, appears not to be his
only qualification, for he is matched with Beckwith, the
champion swimmer of England, to swim 20 lengths of the
Lambeth Baths, for C5O, on Wednesday, the 23d of Octo-
ber, Deerfoot receiving a quarter of a minute start.
MURDER IN STIRLING.—As Sheriff Sconce was
engaged in the Falkirk Small-debt Ceart on Wednesday, a
telegraphic message from Stirling was handod to him on the
bench, to the effect that a murder had been committed in
Stirling on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. When
the contents of the telegram became rumoured in court no
little excitement and interest were manifested, seeing that
information of the murder had not reached the authorities
of Stirling till after the despatch of the morning train,
which conveyed his lordship to Falkirk: It appears that
a house cf questionable fame is kept in the Castlehill,
Stirling, by an old pensioner. His pension became duo on
Tuesday, and he and his friends of both sexes betook them-
selves to the consumption of an unlimited quantity of
liquor. There had evidently been a series of quarrels in
the house, the precise origin of which, however, is not
known in the meantime. Several of the persons, on retiring
to bed, seem to have been absolutely oblivious from drink.
On awakening in the morning, the pensioner states that he
found his wife lying in bed beside him, cold and lifeless,
having a ghastly throat wound, effected with some sharp
instrument, indicating that she had been murdered. Infor-
mation having reached the police, the persons found in the
house were apprehended, and, a warrant of committal hav-
ing been signed by Sheriff Sconce, they were on Wednesday
lodged in Stirling prison. One of the women (Christina
M'Lean, or Peters) is, in the meantime, suspected of having
murdered her own sister (the wife of the pensioner). The
maiden name of the murdered woman is Jean Peters, and
the suspected murderess is the widow of tho wretched
criminal, M‘Lean, who was executed at Linlithgow three
or four years ago for the brutal murder of a man, at Dur-
dtogdoTP, near I3Atlipte,—Falkirk

Defendant said he was drunk and wanted to ride.
Mr. Beadon said if he (defendant) was drunk the con-
ductor had a ri:g,ht to refuse hint, and was liable to be
punished if he did not. In the month of November next
power would be given to commit with hard labour for as-
saults of the kind, and had it been November ho would
have given him band labour. He (Mr. Beadon) would like
to know what right he (defendant) had to strike a man who
was in charge of a public vehicle.
Defendant was fined 405., or a month.
CURIOUS CHARGE OF STEAIING A HORSE AND CART.—
William Thorn, of 5, Holler-street, farrier, and Robert
Utbey, of 3, Chenies-street, farrier, were charged with
stealing a horse and tort, of the value of £2l, the property
of Henry Lewis steers, a general dealer, of Cherry Orchard-
road, Surrey.

The prosecutor, it appears, had been drinking, and the
two accused, probably for a lark, drove off his horse and
cart, and lost a quantity of sand from it and the basket,
but there appeared little room for giving the accused In
charge for a felony.
Mr. Beadon said ho should discharge the men, and he
would advise the prosecutor to keep sober for the future,

THAMES.
ALLEGED MURDER AT SEA.—Soon. after Mr. Wool-
rych had taken his: seat on the Bench this morning, Mr.
J. C. Evans, t uperintendent of the Thames division of
police, who was accompanied by two seamen, named James
Gilroy and William Benson, applied fora warrant to appre-
hend William Burwood Baldry, the master of the ship
Shantang, which was away for three years, and which
arrived in the port of London about a fortnight since.
Mr. Evans said that three of the seamen belonging to the
Shantang had made statements to Captain George Pearce,
the shipping master at the Sailors' Home, in Well-street,
that James Riley, an ordinary seaman, had died on the 12th
of September last, at sea, a few days after he had been
severely flogged by the captain. The statements of the
men were forwarded to the Board of Trade, with the
omcial log-book, and a communication was made to the
Home Secretary. Captain Harris, the Assistant Commis-
sioner of Metropolitan Police, was directed to put the police
in motion, and two of the seamen were now ready to be
examined on oath. The third man, a very material wit-
ness, had gone to Liverpool since he made his statement to
Captain Pearce.

Gilroy and Benson were then examined at considerable
length by Mr. Woolrych, and from their united statements
it appeared that the captain had frequently beaten Riley
with his fists. Before the ship arrived at St. Helena Riley
appeared to be very ill, and ho wanted to go on shore with
other sick mon to obtain medicine and medical advice. The
captain refused compliance with this request, and said he
would give him all the medicine he wanted at sea. After
leaving St. Helena Riley got worse. One day the captain
ordered Riley to clean some brasswork and assist in tarring
the rigging. The mate told the captain that Riley was not
able to work. The captain said rope's end him, and make
him work. The mate declined doing so, and the captain
gave directions for Riley to be sent up from below. As the
deceased was coming up the ladder the captain beat him
with a rope, and upon reaching the deck he flogged him
severely over his body. The deceased sung out for mercy,
and the captain said, there is no mercy for you, I will have
your work, or have your life. The captain then tied two
over hand knots in the rope and resumed the beating of the
deceased, who cried piteously for mercy. All the crow
assembled, and one of them proposed to go aft and take the
deceased away. Another seaman overruled this, and said
you will get yourself in trouble if you interfere. After the
captain had beaten Riley in a most savage manner for a
long time, the poor fellow was taken below and put
into his berth, where he groaned heavily and
appeared to be suffering much. Three days after
the deceased was flogged he stripped for the pur-
pose of washing, and his body then presented a dreadful
appearance. The flesh, as described by Gilroy, " was black
and blue all over, and the colour of it could not be seen.
His breast, legs, and shoulders, were covered with weals."
Five days previous to Riley's death he sent fur the captain,
and said, in a faint voice, "are you not ashamed of your-
self." Tho captain said "what for." The deceased said, "for
not putting me on shore at St. Helena; you have beaten
me, and murdered me." The deceased also said, "he
want to make a will, as I know I am going to die."
The captain told him there was no ocoasion to make a will,
and, on his complaining of cold, gave him a blanket and
things to cover him.
In answer to questions by Mr. Woolrych, the witnesses
said they believed that the brutal flogging inflicted by Cap-
tain Baldry was the cause of the deceased's death.
Mr. Woolrych immediately issued his warrant for the
apprehension of Captain Baldry, and it was entrusted to
Mr. Evans to execute.
Captain Baldry was summoned to this court a few days
ago by six of his crew for balances of wages due to them,
and he said his own wages were not paid, and he could not
get any money from his owners to pay them. Mr. Selfe
then made some strong observations on the captain's con-
duct in spending money he had received for and on account
of several men shipped in Batavia.

FUN ERAL OF AND TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A
POLICE INSPECTOR.--011 Saturday a number of police as-
sembled in Walcot-place, in front of the late residence of
Inspector Stephen Thornton, of the detective department,
Scotland-yard (who died suddenly last Monday morning,
after entertaining a party of his friends the previous day to
celebrate his 29th year in the police), to accompany his re-
mains as far as Kennington-gate as a mark of respect. Tho
funeral procession being formed, advanced to Kennington-
gate, where the police filed off and returned to their eta;
tions, leaving the hearse and mourning coaches to pursua
their way to Milted, near Epsom, where the deceased was
buried,
