MURDER IN DORSETSHIRE.

On Tuesday, a seaman named George Ivamy, of Poole,
was committed by the coroner to the next Dorchester
Assizes for the wilful murder of a girl named Anne Han-
cock, aged about 16. It appeared that the girl, who earned
a living as charwoman, was keeping company with the
prisoner, and from the evidence given there can be no doubt
that he was jealous of her. Early on Sunday morning last
they were seen together, and a man named Sandy stated
that about one o'clock he saw Ivamy with a young woman
who undoubtedly was the deceased, walking across the
quay. They were then talking roughly to one another, and
after some conversation the deceased ran away, and the
prisoner followed her and seized her. Sandy then says he
walked away and saw nothing more either of the prisoner
or the deceased. About two o'clock the same morning
Mrs. Gains, the wife of a pilot, was awoke by hearing
loud screams and a splashing of water. She opened the
window and looked out, and saw a man, whom she could
not identify, walking very quickly from the direction
whence the cries proceeded. Mrs. Gains called repeatedly to
the man, but he took no notice, and dia not stop for an
instant. At the same time Police-constable Maidment was
walking on his beat in the Strand, when he heard the
screams. He could not tell exactly the spot whence the
cries proceeded, and he looked up and down the quay in
vain, and in the meantime the cries had ceased. The
officer at once went to the nearest house, and called two
men, named Dorniney, who, with another man, named
Oates, dragged for the body, and found it about half-
past three. There were several marks on the face as if
from blows, and in the opinion of the medical men death
had resulted from drowning. The prisoner stoutly denied
the charge, and stated that he was in bed at half-past
twelve on Sunday morning. This latter assertion
was clearly incorrect, for after the body of the de-
ceased had been recovered and given into the care of the
police, the prisoner was on the quay and spoke to Oates,
the man who dragged for the body. He inquired what wai
the matter, and Oates told him a young woman had been
found. Prisoner then saw the body, which was in a boat
covered with a sail, and directly afterwards he jumped off
the quay, apparently with the intention of drowning him-
self. He, however, quickly emerged from the water and
reached the quay again by means of what are known as
the Broad-steps. Oates remonstrated with prisoner on his
conduct, and he muttered something, which was not heard,
and walked away. Ivamy was taken before the magis-
trates on Monday, and remanded.

TIIAME S.

A LIBERAL WELSIDIAN.—John Jenkins, a portly
Welshman, was brought before Mr. Benson charged
with being drunk and incapable of taking care of
himself. The prisoner was found in the White-
chapel-road yesterday afternoon. lle was helplessly
intoxicated. There were several bad characters
about him, and they would have soon stripped him
of his money, watch, and everything of value about
him if it had not been taken care of.

Mr. Benson—Now, John Jenkins, an old gentle-
man like you ought to have known better.
The Prisoner—The air of London does not agree
with me. lam going to Wales at the end of the
week, and the air of my native mountains will restore
me to health.

Mr. Benson—Not if you indulge in strong
drinks, Mr. Jenkins. You have been locked up all
night ?
The Prisoner—Yes, sir ; in a police cell all night.
Mr. Benson—The police don't provide well-
farnic,hod drawing-rooms for drunkards. You may
go, John Jenkins. You have been locked up all
night and I shall not fine you.
The Prisoner—Thank you, sir. As you have
not fined me I shall hand you over ss. for the poor-
box.
The money was accepted.

FOND OF PRISON.— George Chapman, a brick-
layer's labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson,
charged with assaulting his wife.

The complainant, a respectable young woman,
said that she formerly lived in Colchester with her
husband, and he had been sent to prison for one,
two, three, six, and twelve months, for beating
her.

Mr. Benson—You are very fond of prison,
George Chapman.

The Prisoner—lt's all lies, your worship; I never
bad more than six months ; that was the heaviest
sentence.

Mr. Benson—You must have committed an ag-
gravated assault, or the Mayor of Colchester would
not have committed you to prison for six months.
The Prisoner—lt was three months, and three
months more for want of bail.

Mr. Benson—No one would become surety for
you.

The complainant said she was struck by her hus-
band last night. He was always ill-using her,
in bed and up, night and day, summer and winter.
He was a big villain.
Mr. Benson would now inflict a more moderate
punishment than the prisoner was in the habit of
receiving. He sentenced him t.) one month's im-
prisonment and hard labour.

David A. Wells, who lately, as Commissioner of
Revenue visited Europe to gather information which
he might utilise in his department, " A 'careful
examination of a rolling mill in Pittsburg, Penn-
sylvania, making band iron, showed a disbursement
of wages per week of $5,200 in 1866 against $1,700
in 1860 and 1861, the mill working to the same
capacity, and employing exactly the same number
of hands in both cases. The average wages earned
by melters, forgers, and rollers employed in the steel
works of Pittsburg, and working nine hours per day,
during the month of October, 1866, was reported to
the Commissioner as $8 per day.- The following rates
of wages are also reported to have been paid
during the- past year in the same city in the manu-
facture of iron and glass :—Skilled hammermen,
working oa an average five days per week, $8 per
day ; head-nailers, superintending four machines,
$ll per day ; blowers of bottles and window glass,
$275 pa. month. During the months of April and
May, 1866, the rates of wages paid in certain of
the glass works of Pittsburg are reported to have
averaged $ll 40c. per day. Bricklayers and masons
have received from $4 to $7 per day in different
sections of the country during the past year. It
further appears, from an examination of the United
' States Census statistics of manufactures in 1860,
that the average monthly wages of employe's in all
branches of manufactures were, of males, $27 10c.,
and of females $l2 50e. ; while, by the census of
the State of New York in 1865, the average
monthly wages in the whole State were, for males,
$44, and for females $2O, being an increase over the
wages of 1860 and 1861 of 62 per cent. for males,
and 60 per cent. for females." In comment-
ing on this the Times says—" Assuming these to be
the rates still current, and that 40 per cent. of
the increase is to be accounted for by the depre
ciation in the paper currency, in which wages are
paid, there is yet a remarkable margin of advance
which must have a peculiar influence on all manu-
facturing operations in the United States—unless,
indeed, as is perhaps the fact, a corresponding ad-
vance has taken place in most other countries ; in
which case the movement would simply indicate the
progress of the reduction of the purchasing power of
gold, owing to the steady continuance of supplies
from Australia, California, and elsewhere.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

LORD RANELAGH AND THE UNFORTUNATE.—SIN-
GULAR CASE.—Louisa Gould, an unfortunate, was
charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Lord
Ranelagh, who resides at No. 7, New Burlington-
street. .

Lord Ranelagh sail—Last night I was walking
along Piccadilly when this woman accosted me, and
asked me to give her some money. She said she
was a milliner, and that she had two little
milliners, if I would like to go and see them. I
walked away, and she followed me, and again asked
me for money, and on my telling her to go away
she knocked my hat off and my cigar out of my
mouth. The reason why I charged her was because
I thought that the next time she met me she might
knock my teeth out. The woman is well known at
the police station.

111 r. Knox—Does your lordship know the pri-
soner ?

Lord Ranelagh—l have known her for about
seven years.

The Prisoner—We have been on the best of
terms, I can assure your worship. I have been a
good friend to you, Lord Ranelagh, when you have
been short of money. Although you are a lord, you
know you are poor. I met you last night
in Piccadilly, and told you that you had
forgot to remit me some money you pro-
mised me. When I met you once before
you told me that you had been in Kent with your
rifle corps, and you then gave me all the money
you had about you—half a crown. I have seen you
often, and been to your house repeatedly, and I am
surprised you speak of me in the way you do.
Police-constable Harding, 223 C—At a quarter
to 12 last night I was in Piccadilly, and Lord
Ranelagh called me to the prisoner and complained
that she had knocked his hat off and his cigar out
of his mouth, and that she had annoyed him all
along Piccadilly, because he would not give her any
money. I did not see the assault committed, but I
saw his lordship's hat lying in the street and dirty.
Mr. Knox—Prisoner, why did you knock Lord
Ranelagh's hat off ?

The Prisoner—l was annoyed. I admit doing

Lord Ranelagh—They say at the station that she
is well known.
Mr. Knox—ls she known ?

Barns, the gaoler—She has been here several
times charged with drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct, but nothing else.

Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—Whatever your pre-
vious cause of complaint against Lord Ranelagh
may be, if you really have one at all, you have no
right to assault him. I presume, Lord Ranelagh,
all that you require is not to be molested in future.
Lord Ranelagh--That is my object.

The Prisoner—Why do you not pay me the 7s.
6d. you owe me ? It is not much, and you know
that you owe it to me.
Mr. Knox—l shall order the prisoner to find a
bail to keep the peace towards Lord Ranelagh and
all the Queen's subjects.
London, England, 1868-06-24

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

A very sad and fatal accident happened in Peterhead
Bay on Saturday afternoon, by which five persons lost
their lives. There is a great deal of mystery about the
circumstances of the sad catastrophe, and these will never
in all human probability be fully known. It appears
that a boat with tliso men and three boys on board
left the harbour about eleyen o'clock on Saturday
forenoon, for the purpose of prosecuting the handline
fishing in the bay. The boat was seen, by one account,
at about half-past eleven, about a mile off the South
Head, and was not again heard of till about six o'clock in
the evening, when she was found about a mile off Scotstown
Head, bottom uppermost. The parties on board were-
-James Stuart (58), Alex. Mackie, sen. (SO), Alex. Mackie,
jun. (18), James Thain, jun. (18), and Alex. Strachan (14).
There are many stories and conjectures afloat as to the
cause of the accident, but, E 0 far as can be ascertained,
nothing of a reliable nature is known regarding the cir-
cumstances. It is stated that had the accident been seen
from the shore, and immediate steps taken to reach the
drowning crew, some of the unfortunate men might ly,ve
been saved. '1 he boy Mackie was known to be am. st
expert swimmer. On Sunday a couple of oars were cast
ashore lashed together by a wonted jerkin, indicating that
someone had fixed them in this manner with the view of
using them as a raft. The tiller of the boat was also cast
ashore on Sunday. None of the bodies have yet (Monday)
been recovered. The two old men leave wives and grown-
up families. The sad affair was the cause of much excite-
ment among the fishing population on Saturday, and, in
view of the approaching herring season, has cast a gloom
over the preparations for that hazardous industry.—

The first of the bull-fights to be given at Havre
during the Exhibition did not came off on Tuesday
as announce 1, in consequence of the indisposition
of the principal actors—namely, the bulls. Unac-
customed to railway travelling, they had traversed
all France without finding a buffet of their usual
provender, and are at present all invalided.
It is stated that the proposal which has been
made to raise a battalion of 1,200 men in the
United States for the Pontifical army has been
abandoned, as the American Roman Catholic
bishops have been informed by the Washington
Government that such enrolment would be eon.

CHRONICLES and CHARACTERS. By the
Hon. ROBERT LYTTON (OWEN MEREDITH). "We
are happy to observe that the work before us is no hasty or
passing contribution to our poetical literature. The plan of it
was conceived many years ago, and its execution has been
elaborated, the poet tells us, during seven years of careful think-
ing. It appeals only to serious, earnest, and discriminating cri-
ticism, and is worthy of that patient perusal which its author
claims as a preliminary to any final judgment. There is no
masked atheism here, no brutal passion veiled under the thin
disguise of elaborate scholarship, no curious raking amid the
dead and foetid embers of forgotten lusts. In all these respects
'Chronicles and Characters ' set a noble example to our younger
generation of poets. The author has set himself seriously to
improve and cultivate his rare gifts by conscientious study and
deliberate carefulness, and he has presented the fruit of them to
the world in a series of calm, connected pictures, so arranged as
to illustrate one of the noblest conceptions which could possibly
occupy a poet's pen."—Macmillan's Magazine. Chapman and

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to

without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent fer support on voluntary contributions
and legacies. _ _ _

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween-3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

March the general superintendent of the Erie Rail-
way reported that owing to the severe weather and
heavy traffic " The iron rails have broken and worn
out beyond all precedent, until there is scarcely a
mile of your road except that laid with steel rail
where it is safe to run a train at the ordinary passen-
ger speed." The condition of the iron, he added, gives
him, much anxiety for the safety of trains. Yet
nothing was done, and the directors excuse them-
selves on the ground that they have issued stock to
the amount of $10,000,000 to purchase new steel
rails, but are withheld by the injunctions served
upon them. So in waiting for the issue of this un-
worthy quarrel men's and women's lives are to be
sacrificed by the score and measureless suffering in-
flicted ! Here is a warning for our railway direc-
tors against the extravagance of misplaced eco-
nomy.

LATEST INTELL LGENCE.

TILE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.
SYDNEY, April 1.

The attempt on the life of the Duke of Edin-

tradicted.

The Presse publishes intelligence from Galata,
stating that the persecutions of the Jews in that
district have been carried out under the direction
of the Prefect Lupasco, the same person to whom
attaches the blame of certain Jews having been
drowned near Galatz last year. In reply to the

fied his line of action as taken in consequence of
the express instructions of Minister Bratians.
