At half-past four o'clock he was fc.und lying on the pavement in front of his house, and on examination his skull was found to be fractured, wd his ribs were fearfully broken. He was taken to Guy's Hospital, and died about five minutes after admission. There is little doubt that deceased jumped from the window of hig house and thus received the injuries from which he died. It is said that he was e, gomnambulist. WEDNESDAY BE:?,"G THE HIRING DAY for the pantomime hands wanted at Drury-lane Theatre, Bussell-street was blocked with a considerable crowd.

The sight comical and affecting. I OFFICERS OF ARTILLERY COMPLAIN, and, ap- I parently not without cause, that, in the mimic actions lately introduced, their guns are captured by cavalry and infantry uuder circumstances which would be impracticable in -real war. They say that their antagonists march up te. the cannon's mouth 'with a total disregard of the fact .that shot and shell would be vomited therefrom in real battle. THE LONG-STANDING DISPUTE between the Poor-law Board and the parish of St. Pancras re- specting the proposed new infirmary and schools has at length been settled. The terms of a compromise were agreed upon at a reoent meeting of "the guardians, and a hope was expressed that the satis- factory disposal of this question would be the means of bringing about a better feeling between the central and the local authorities. ON MONDAY an articled clerk with Mr. Wm Joy, solicitor, Ashton-under-Lyne, applied to the Ashton magistrates to be allowed to appear, in the unavoidable absence of his principal, as advocate for a defendant in, a case. The applicant stated the prac- tice was allowed in London, and cited Stone's Jus- tice" in support of his application. The bench unanimously determined not to hear articled clerks as advocates. HENRY WILLIAM GOODEVE, 41 years of age, described as a warehouseman, has been charged before Alderman Stone with stealing 13 hams, of the vahie of .£12. The prisoner had been a foreman in the service of Mr. T. J. Redgrave, and, in the absence of his master, he instructed a man named Bishop, in the same service, to pack up 13 hams, and send them by the Parcels' Delivery Company to a ham-dealer in Southgate-road, Ballspond. He was committed to Newgate for trial. Saunders's Neivsletter says: "As the Rev. Mr. Hogan, curate of Grange Gorman Church, was concluding divine service, on his facing the chancel and then turning his back to the congregation, some person called out Puseyism.' The congregation became considerably excited, and the excitement was renewed on the appearance of some members of the police force. These proceeded to remove a number of persons, who, however, appeared very reluctant to leave. In a short time, however, the completely cleared." YACHT WARRANTS.—Yacht warrants used to be printed on a whole sheet of superfine paper, to be signed by two of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to be countersigned by the secretary, and, above all, to be stamped with the Admiralty seal—a piece of absurd routine, and a wilful waste of public money, which we are happy to say have at length been rectified. Yachts are furnished by the present board with a mere certificate, printed on a half sheet of flimsy paper, without being sealed at all, and signed by the secretary only.-Land and Water. A. CARD FROM MRS. STOWE.-Upon the Byron controversy Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe publishes a card in the New York Tribune of the 2nd instant, as follows :—A Card. — Mrs. Stowe and the Leigh Letters.

New York, Nov. 1, 1869." AT THE BIRMINGHAM BANKRUPTCY OCURT, on Saturday, Samuel Taylor, described as a licensed victualler, applied for and obtained an order of discharge in bankruptcy. The bankrupt was for many years the secretary of the Victoria Lane Society, which failed,with liabilities to the extent of .^O.cToV m March, 1868. In the course of his examination the bankrupt admitted having appropriated a number of different sums of money, amounting in tbe aggregate to X3,041 14s. 2d., for which he had not accounted to the societjr.

COLONEL DOWN, a gentleman residing at Stoke-hill Cottage, Exeter, was, with his wife daughter, and coachman, placed in a very awkward and dangerous position a few days since. Whilst in their carriage, two handsome ponies which were drawing the vehicle took fright, and at a urious pace started off. The gallant colonel jumped out oi the carriage and fell to the ground, but was not hurt. The ladies, who did not appear to be greatly alarmed, retained their seats, and the ponies were soon stopped. AN UNKNOWN FRENCH CHEMIST is said to have made a very important discovery. Hitherto the sack of wheat in France, by the ordinary process, has pro- duced 105 loaves of two pounds each. By a new process, not yet divulged, the chemist is able to pro- duce from the same quantity of wheat 127 loav-es of bread of equal weight and quality. Experiments have been made by the city authorities with perfect success, and a company is being formed to put the discovery into practice. It is also stated that the company have undertaken to furnish the army. AN INQUEST HAS BEEN HELD AT STALYBRTDGE on the body of Henry Morton, who met his death in a street sewer. On Thursday-deceased and a fellow workman named Evans descended into the sewer, carrying lighted candles with them. They proceeded about 170 yards up the drain, when Norton ascended the shaft of a manhole, and attempted to push the plate off, so as to gain the surface, but, the frost 1' having cemented the gravel around the plate, he was unable to move it. Whilst in the shaft he was over- I powered by the gas that had generated at the top of i the manhole, and was suffocated. A WOMAN FELL while crossing the Liverpool- J road the other day, owing to its slippery state, and before she could get up the wheels of a heavily laden van passed over her. She was taken to the Gray's- inn-road Hospital, where she died about an hour after admission. Two other persons have been admitted into the same hospital, who have sustained serious injuries by falling in Farringdon-road. AT A PROTECTIONIST MEETING, which has just been held in Lille, two thousand persons being pre- sent, resolutions against the continuance in force of the commercial treaties were carried by acclamation. Some of the speakers protested against the dictatorial action of the Government and the superficial character of its preliminary investigations at the ttime of the conclusion cf these treaties. THE ITALIAN PAPERS contain the indictment which after above half a year of imprisonment has at length been served on Mr. Nathan, in whose behalf Lord Clarendon, some months ago, made a fruitless application to the Italian Government for a speed v trial. This young English gentleman is informed that -the accusation on which he has since been kept ill .gaol is that of conspiring, concerting, and com- j eiiStding to bring about a change from the monarchical to & republican form of government." ( FEE MEMBERS OF THE CHAPTER OF EXETER who voted .against Dr. Temple have made an elaborate protest against his election, chiefly on the ground of his connection with Essays and Beviews." Bishop. Ti-ower handed in a separate protest, de- claring that by .electing Dr. Temple the chapter had assisted ia propagatinc error and false doctrines; for, as XliLshOjP of Exeter, his contribution to that volume would help to givejweight and currency to its insidious reasonings," THE Ga.zeiie con-tains a Royal proclamation, proroguing Parliament from December 23 to January 10.
