ATTEMPTED MURDER AT C_HATHAOL

A most determined attempt at murder took place at
a house in Skinner-street, Chatham, at an early hour
on Sunday morning last, by, as it is supposed, a man
named Burgess Masters, who has been occasionally
employed as a collier on board ships frequenting
the port at Chatham, the intended victim being a
private in the Royal Marine Ligbt Infantry, named
James Wilkins, who has but recently returned
home from foreign service. From the circumstances
attending the transaction, it appears
.that Masters
had been cohabiting for some time past with a
woman of disreputable character, who passed as his
wife and assumed his name, but who is known to
have a husband still living and serving with the
Royal Marines at a foreign station, Before her
intimacy with Masters, this woman had been living
for some time with Wilkins ; but on the latter
being ' ordered to embark for service at sea,
Masters picked up with her, and they appear
to have lived very comfortably together,
until recently, although they were both of
very drunken habits. A short time since Wilkins
returned to Chatham, when he immediately sought
out the woman and prevailed en her to return to
him, which she seemed by nn means reluctant to
do. On the woman leaving him Masters was filled
with the racist deadly animosity towards Wilkins,
and has !frequently been heard to make use of
threatening language towards him, and on one oc-
casion he is stated to have uttered a threat that he
would kill him the first opportunity that presented
itself. Notwithstanding this, however,.. Wilkins
continued on comparatively friendly terms with
Masters, though they haire often been seen quarrel-
ling and fighting. On Saturday night Wilkins,
Masters, and the woman were at the Brewers' Arms
publichouse, High-street, drinking together in a
friendly mood, Wilkins and the woman leaving
about nine o'clock, at which time Masters was
still there. After leaving the Brewers' Arms,
Wilkins and the woman went to a beerhouse
in Skinner-street, and remained drinking there
for some time until both were intoxicated. During
the time they were there Masters was seen stand-
ing outside the back of the house, as if waiting for
them to come out, although he had parted from
them on apparently friendly terms. Nothing more
was seen of Masters, and Wilkins and the woman
retired to bed. About three o'clock in the morning
the woman was awakened by blood, trickling over
her, when to

Wilkins, who still showed signs of life, was at once
removed to Melville Hospital, where the wound was
sewn up, but from' the nature of the injuries he
has received only very small hopes are entertained
of his recovery. On the room in which the
attempted murder took place being searched,

was accomplished could be discovered, and from an

OXFORD, JUNE 20.
The following::letter from Mr.- Gladstone to the
Provost of Oriel has been pri7nted and circulated. in
the Common. :Booms :
" 11, Carlton-h. Dube-terrace, June 17.
My dear Provost of •Oriel,—This:d;y is the first
on• which I have felt_ roysedi at liberty to address
any statement respecting ray intended assumption
of office as Chancellor of -,the Exchequer even to
those who will have either to grant or to refuse me
re-election.
" The 'question raised by- the proposal I have re-
ceired Has for me been a simple one. I trust
it may be equally So'tb others' irr-ecall their atten-
tion to past events.
! • " Various differen-ces of opinion, both on foreign
arid domestic matters, .scpar. ttca me, during great
-11.—t of the administration of. Lord Pohne.ston. from
a body of. men with, the majority- of whom I had
actel, and had acted in pariect harmony, under
LOrd Aberdeen. I promoted thevote of the House
of'M.,mons in' February of last year which led to
the dONY:nfall of that Ministry.

various occasions, during the existence of the late
Parliament, when they were seriOusl3- threatened
with danger or.embarraSsment, I foand myself, like
many other independent members, lending them
such assistance as was in my power. And, although
I.could not concur in the late Reform Bill, and con-

.00tn such disapproval
.
which appeared to imply a courso of prevfous
opposition, and which has been the iinmediate
cause of the change of Ministers.
• " Under these circumstances it was, I think,
manifest, that, while I had not the smallest claim
on the, victorious party, my duty as towards the
late advisers of the Crown had been fully dis-
charged.
"It is hardly needful to say that, previously to
the recent vote, there was no nemtiation or under-
standing with me in regard th office ; but when
Lord Palmerston had undertaken to form a Cabinet
he acquainted me with his desire that I should

DUTY PAID FOR FIRE INSURANCE.

. ,

A Parliamentary return haS , been published of
all: sums paid for duty en insurance against fire
during the past year by-each of the fire insurance
companies 'of the United KingdOm. From this,
document it appears 'that the' payments by the ,
London offiees, which reach in the aggregate ,
£937,868, stand as follows when arranged in the
order of their respective amounts :

join it.
" A proposal of that kind must be aoswered by
reference to the paramount interests and duties of
the period when it is made.
" These, in the present instance, are without
doubt to be found, first, in the guidance of our
foreign policy with respect to the Italian war;
and, secondly, in the settlement of the weighty
subject of Parliamentary Reform.
" With respect to the first of these, ever since
my mind was turned to the case of Italy my views
and convictions have been in unison with those of
the statesmen who will now be chiefly charged
with our foreign affairs. It is thus my clear duty,
in or out of office, to support them in the difficult
task of so maintaining the neutrality of England as
not to lose the openings which events may offer for
using her impartial influence on behalf of the sta-
bility and justice of political arrangements abroad,.
and of the peace and happiness of Europe.
" With respect to reform I understood the coun-
sels of Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley, and I believe
that if they had been followed the subject of reform
would in all likelihood have been settled at this
date, without either a dissolution of Parliament or
a change of Administration. Bet I have never
understood the principles on which that sub-
ject has been managed since the schism in the late
Government. I also think it undeniable that toe
fact of the dissolution, together with the return.
of an adverse and now no longer indulgent majority,
rendered the settlement of this question by the late
Ministers impossible. I therefore naturally turn
to the hope of its being settled by a Cabinet mainly
constituted and led by the men together with whom
I was responsible for framing and proposing a
Reform Bill in 1854.

" It thus appeared clear to me, not only that
opposition on my part to the Government of Ler&
Palmerston would be an unprincipled course, but
that these were precisely the circumstances which.
brought into its fullest force the duty of rendering
service and support to those who, having been.
honoured with the confidence of her Majesty in a.
critical state of Parliament and of parties, are to be
charged with the conduct of affairs graver and
more arduous perhaps as a whole fqg England than
any since the peace of 1815. I have long known
and lamented the public inconvenience brought
about by separate action ; and, subject to the con-
ditions of honour and of public utility, I could not
with propriety pass by any opportdnity of bring-
ing it at least in my own person to a close.
" I understand that misgiving elyists with respect
to my sitting in a Cabinet of which Mr. Gibson is
a member, and which Mr. Cobden will be invited
to join. The very same feelings were eg-pressed, as
I well recollect, when the late Sir William Moles-
worth entered the Cabinet of Lord Aberdeen. Sir
William Molesworth never to my knowledge com-
promised his political independence ; yet These
apprehensions were, I think, not justified by The
subsequent course of events.
" But all experience, by no means excepting that
of the late Government, seems to show that Cabi-
nets cannot in the present state of things be con-
stituted without including some, and perhaps wide
differences of opinion, even upon questions of high'
import. The real moment of these differences can-
not be tested by mere reference to anterior and ab-
stract declarations ' • but only in the practical ap-

venture to add, that among the faults which have
at any time been found in me, has never been that
of
weightm ay o f
perhaps respon-
of an undue subserviency to the opinions of others..

upon elections, I should, after this preliminary
explanation, proceed to submit with confidence

Its title to this extent is perhaps the more clear,.

pportunity of judging

Cabinet have or have f • b that act, or
not forfeited y
by its legitimate
consequences, any confidence of
which they may previously have been thought
worthy.
" Your kindness in proposing my name to Con-
vocation on so many successive occasions has led me
to trouble you with this lengthened letter. I hope
it may be justified by the gravity of the present
juncture ; and, having so far p

DESPERATE SUlClDE.—Yesterday evening an in-
quest was held at the Greyhound Tavern, Compton-street,
Soho, on the body of Mr. Wm. Bucknell, aged 50, a patent
cord manufacturer, who had destroyed himself by cutting
his throat and by a deep incision in his abdomen. The land-
lord of the tavern stated that the deceased lived next door
to him, and that on Thursday morning he was called into
the house, where he found the deceased lying in his night-
shirt, with two gashes in his throat, and his bowels pro-
truding from a large wound, inflicted with a paper-cutting
knife, 10 inches long. He had seen the deceased the prq-
ceding night, when his manner seemed unusual. It appeared
from the evidence of the widow and of other witnesses that
the deceased had been deranged and confined in a lunatic
