LAW AND POLICE.

THE ELECTION RlOTS.—Seventy-seven persons, charged
with being concerned in the Blaenaevon, Pontypool, and
Abersychan riots, have been brought before the magis-
trates of the district. Fifty of them were charged with
rioting at Blaenaevon, and ten with larceny. With the
exception of four, all these prisoners are committed for
trial.— Several men have been convicted and fined at the
.Newbury Police-court for rioting during the election.—
At Bradford a man has been remanded on a
charge of committing a murderous assault.—At
Durham a number of rioters have been bound over in
sums of £2O, with two sureties of £lO, to keep the peace
for six months. A pitman was also brought up upon a
charge of wilful murder.
THE BEwICKE CASE.—The irrepressible Mr. Bewicke
has made another appearance in the Divorce Court, this
time to inform the Judge Ordinary that he had com-
menced an action in the Queen's Bench against his lord-
ship for malversation of justice, and to ask that the pro-
ceedings consequent upon the late decree of the court
for a judicial separation between himself and his wife
might be estopped pending the result of this
action. In other words, Mr. Bewicke wishes to
escape the payment of alimony to his wife, who has, after
an infinity of trouble, got rid of, to say the least of it, a
troublesome husband, until he has exhausted every legal
quibble in order altogether to evade the consequences of
the judgment pronounced by the Judge Ordinary, and
confirmed, on appeal, by the full court.
CONVICTION FOR DAMAGING TELEGRAPH WIRES. —At
Brentford, two boys have been charged with wilfully
damaging an insulator belonging to the Electric and
International Telegraph Company on the railway near
Twickenham. They had been seen throwing stones at the
wires, and the company had suffered great inconvenience
through the damage so inflicted by boys. The defendants
said they did not throw the stones with a view to damage
the wires, but at a bird on them. They were fined 10s. and
costs.

ArcraDEß.—At the Warwick Assizes, William Kemp,
a brickmaker, who murdered his son in a fit of mental
depression, has been acquitted on the ground of insanity.

Rossmi.—li seems, after all, that Rossini, in the
concluding part of his life, was not as idle as he wished to
make it appear, but that although he had given up writing
for the theatre he continued to work nevertheless. He
has composed, it is said, several important works, which
will prove that his genius has suffered no decay, and which
will shortly be given to the world.

The death was announced on Tuesday of Mr.
Samuel Lucas, a gentleman whose name is well known in
connection with periodical literature. Ho was educated at
Queen's College, Oxford, whore he took his B.A. degree in
1840. In 1841 he gained the "Nowdegate" for an English
Essay, "The Sandwich Islands," and in 1845 the Chancel-
lor's prize for an Essay, "The Causes and Consequences of
Nati nal Revolutions among tho Ancients and Moderns
compared."
ROYAL VISIT TO THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.—
On Tuesday afternoon her Royal Highness the Crown
Princess of Prussia (Princess Royal of England) honoured
the Hospital for Sick Children, in Great Ormond-street,
with a visit. Her Royal Highness, who was attended by
Lady C. Barrington, was received by Sir William Jenner,
Bart., M.D., the hospital officials being in attendance:
Her Royal Highness passed through the wards open to
visitors ; the other wards, not public, are for infectious
cases (without which no hospital for children would be
complete), and are most effectually cut off and isolated
from the main building. Her Royal Highness made
many inquiries concerning the arrangements for sick chil-
dren, and those recovering from sickness, and remained a
considerable time in the hospital. Hospitals for children
are not unknown in Prussia; indeed, at Berlin a children's
department was founded some years before the hospital in
Great Ormond-street, which was opened in 1852.
RESIDENCE OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.
—A meeting was recently hell in the city of Canterbury
to induce the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to provide a
residence there for the archbishop, and then to persuade
his Grace to come and live in it for a large portion of
the year. It must not be forgotten, however, that a
considerable amount of the Archbishop of Canterbury's
business in judicial, parliamentary, and colonial, and not
merely diocesan. He is also one of the chief officers of State,
so that it is important the country seat of the Primate
should be near the metropolis. Few places could be more
convenient than Addington Park, within three miles of
Croydon, whence railways branch into all parts of Kent.
The important town of Croydon and surrounding parishes
are in the diocese of Canterbury. From the Reformation
until 1800 the archiepiscopal country seat was in Croy don
itself, when, after an extensive fire, Addington Park was
purchased. The parish church of Addington contains the
remains, we believe, of Archbishops Manners Sutton,
Rowley, Sumner, and Longley. The Primates imme-
diately preceding had been interred in Croydon,-Times,

JOINT-STOCK DISCOUNT CO. (LIMITED)

v. CAPPER ESCOJIBE AND LA Irsos.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—Mr. Lawson seems to be under an impres-
sion that in the letters 1 addressed to you on the
Gth and 9th of July last I insinuated that he had
committed perjury in the evidence he gave on the
prosecution of Mr. James Freeling Wilkinson. I
do not think my letters. can fairly bear such a con-
struction.

In order, however, that no doubt may remain on
the subject, I disclaim any such intention, as well
as express my regret I have written or published
anything calculated to wound Mr. Lawson's feel-
ings, and in the same spirit I withdraw everything
which can be considered au imputation upon his
bona fides.

I may add that I am satisfied, after investigation,
that Mr. Lawson in consenting to the arrangement
never intended in any way to admit that the evi-
dence he had previously given respecting the alleged
interview of the 16th August, 1865, was in any
respect incorrect.

You will much oblige by giving the same publicity
to this note as to my former letters.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
HENRY F. lIOLT.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN PROGRAMME.—Mr. Edward
Payson Weston is preparing for a pedestrian trip from
Bangor, Maine, to St. Paul, Minnesota, and back to New
York, a distance of 5,000 miles. He will start from Ban-
gor at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 1, and must reach the City

lows :—From Bangor due West to Buffalo ; thence
through Michigan to Chicago ; thence to Prescott, where
he will cross the Mississippi ; thence up the river
bank to St. Paul, which city he must reach on or

such antiquity so far as collected :-1. Refuse shell-heaps
of the Atlantic coast, from Nova Scotia to Florida. Ago
not determined, but not very great. 2. Flint arrow-heads
beneath Mr. Koch's skeleton of the mastodon in a peat
layer, covered by alluvium 15 feet deep, at Pomme de
Terre River, Missouri. 3. A flint knife at Grinnel Leads,
Kansas, found by P. A. Scott, at a depth of 14 feet,
in gravel and clay. 4. Three human skeletons of In-
dians, in a shelter cave at Elgin, Ohio; estimated age
2,000 years. 5. A log worn by the feet of man, probably
Indians, in the muck bed at High Rock Spring, Saratoga
Springs, New York, at a depth of nine feet beneath the
cone, estimated by Dr. Grier to be 4,840 years old. 6.
Copper spear-heads and other implements with human
skeletons, apparently of the mound builders, at a depth of
14 feet, at Brockville, Canada ; found by Dr. J. Reynolds.

The report of Dr. Harris, of the Metropolitan
Board of Health, for the week ending Saturday, the 7th
instant, gives a total of 336 deaths iu New York and 135
in Brooklyn. The decrease in the death rate is attributed
to the healthful and invigorating atmosphere. The re-
port says that so light a mortality has not been experi-
enced in Now York in any previous week since the orga-
nization of the present sanitary system. In both cities
the death rate was less than 18 in 1,000 par annum. The
First and Sixth Wards of New York and the Twelfth
Ward of Brooklyn are mentioned as being deficient in
sanitary advantages. The 01 deaths which occurred from
zymatic disease, so-called, is the smallest percentage yet
recorded. The mortality of children under five years of
age was poly LW, or 101i4 than 41 per wilt Pi the total.
