A portion of the MS. of Oliver Twist," which originally appeared in Bentley's Miscellany, is still in Mr. Bentley's possession. The British Museum might fittingly place it by the side of the MS. of Sterne's, I Sentimental Journey." With regard to the Belhaven Peerage, it is stated, that the long litigation on the succession to this an- cient Scotch title has resulted in judgment having been given on the 14th inst. in favour of the claim of Lieutenant-Colonel Robert William Hamilton (late of the Grenadier Guards) to be served b-jir male to the late Lord Belhaven and Stentou.

ATTEilPT TO MORDER AT DERBY. A few minutes before five o'clock on Saturday morning, a man named James Allen, aged 21, went to the police station at Derby, and said to Police Constable Thorpe that he had bee i into a bedr c m in Whitecross-street, that he had struck a woman who was in bed on the head with a hammer, and believed he had killed her. He also added that he had done it because he wanted to be sent off." In- spectors Fearn and Green proceeded to Whitecross- street, to the house of a married woman named Ann Ebury. They then found that Allen had broken in- to the house through the back kitchen window, had rushed up stairs with a large hammer in his hand, and struck the unfortunate woman violently on the head. It appeared that Mrs. Ebury lay on her left side in bed, with her face towards the wall; that she heard some one down stairs, and thought it was some of her children, but directly afterwards, and before she could give an alarm, a man rushed up stairs into her bedroom, and struck her several blows close to the temple as she lay in bed. She struggled with him, got out of bed on the opposite side to which he stood, streamed out" lVIunIer several times, and knocked on the wall to arouse a next door neighbour. Allen then left the room, walked down stairs, unlocked the front door, and went away, but Mrs. Ebury thought he might re- turn, and she got to the bedroom door and he d it until she was found. Her wounds,, which were on the right temple, were severe. Mrs. Ebury said the hammer was not her property, and it was subse- quently found to belong-to Allen's father, who lives a few doors off. Mrs. Ebury and six of her children were to have left their house on Saturday for lIdl, en route for St. Petersburg, her husband being em- ployed in that city.—The prisoner was brought no at the Derby Police Court on Saturday morning, and was remanded until Wednesday.

DEAN STANLEY ON CHARLES DICKKNS. On Sunday afternoon, Dean Stanley preached in Westminster Abbey, and the announcement that he intended to refer to the late Mr. Charles V"^k(.-us caused a large congregation to assemble. The Abbey was, indeed, crowded. Tennyson, and the members of Mr. Dickens's family, were present. The Dean took for his text the parable of Dives and Lazarus. He justified fictitious literature as merely the speak- ing of a parable. He spoke of Sir Walter Scott as the greatest fictionist. Another bright light h'ld now passed away. The present generation had seen a most vivid exemplification of an Heaven-sent fiction. Such a power made wicked novels worse than other forms of wicked words and deeds. Dickens's death almost eclipsed the gaityof the na- tions. The pure writers include Dickens, Scott, Austen, Gaskell, and Thackeray. After a high eulogy of Dickens, the preacher read an extract from his will, where, after emphatic directions as to the unostentatious character of his funeral, it proceeded as follows "I direct that my name be inscribed in plain English letters on his tomb. I conjure my friends on no account to make me the subject of any monument, memorial, or testimonial whatever. I rest my claims to the remembrance of my country upon my published works and to the remembrance of my friends upon their experience of me. In ad- dition thereto, I commit my scul to the mercy of God, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and I exhort my dear children humbly to try and guide themselves by the teaching of the Now Testament, in its broad spirit; and to put no faith in any man's narrow construction of its letter here or there."

DR. TAIT AND THE ROMAN COUNCIL. An important correspondence has taken place be- tween the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, as to the advisability >>t the English episcopate adopting any protest against the claim for the Pope's infallibility which is likely to be set up by tlieCEcumenioal Council. The Bishop. in a letter to his Metropolitan, on the 16th inst. says, "many serious people, I understand, deem it desirable that the bishops of th»> English Church should place on record some protest in reference to the present Council in Rome. T can quite under- stand the local feeling that might move many to judge such a course to be expedient for the present time. At the same time I cannot but feel. first, that. if the protest be against the assumed nature or composition of the Council, it ought to have been made long ago, when the Council was summoned secondly, that, if the protest be levelled against any doctrine which it is supposed the Council may promulgate, it would be a protest against a doc- trine with which, by the nature of the case, the re- formed Church of England has but little to do. B^ing in this difficulty, I venture to ask your Grace's coun- sel and advice." In answer to the letter, the Arch- bishop of Canterbury wrote, on the i 7th I will, as you suggest, repeat jJllhl;dy what I have already written privately to another member of our order. I cannot, as at present advised, persuade mvselt that it is desirable for the Episcopate of the Eng- lish. Church to come forward and issue a protest against the papal infallibility. The statements of our Church, as set forth in the articles and formul- aries touching the claims of the Church of Rome, are so full and explicit that they seem to lile to re- quire neither explanation nor addition. The most dignified, wise, and sober plan for us to adopt as I think, is to let Rome take her own course. The Church of England, as far as I know, has not at present been addressed by the Pope or his so-called (Erumenical Council, or by any person whatever; and I cannot see the necessity for us to go out of our way to put forth a manifesto. I fully expect !hat if the supporters of the claims of infallibility are let alone they will do their own cause infinite mischief and great good to the cause of truth. I am -ere that the English nation does not expect any dec'a; ation of action from us other than can be secured bv a steadfast adherence to our principles both in onr practice and in our teaching.

Her Majesty, with the Princesses Louise and Beatrice, arrived at Windsor Castle on Saturday monuiur. Our Government in 1 he Punjab has found Oil t a novel means of rewarding university men. Ail graduates of the University of the Punjab are to have seats in the Durbar, instead of standing in the undistinguished crowd, A terrible tragedy has taken place at tbePalaÏs de Justice of Clermont. The sitting had terminated, and the President was about to hear in private a man and his wife who were pleading for a separa- tion. Suddenly a piercing shriek was heard from the Salle des Pas-Perdug, and the members of the bar on hastening there found that the husband had stabbed the woman mortally with a clasp-knife, and then pierced himself through the heart. The wife was conveyed to an hospital, but expired shortly after her arrival. Captain Cadell, the officiating agent in the eastern states of Rajpootana, has been appointed umpire between the discontented Thakoors of Ulwur and their Mussulman ruler, and has been ordered to proceed to Ulwur without delay, being vested with ample discretionary powers for the arrangement of existing differences. These differences have now, it is said, culminated in bloodshed, and it is con- sidered scarcely probable that quiet will be res- tored without some loss of diirnity, if not power, to the Maharao.

At Judges's Chambers, on Saturday, Mr. Justice Willes gave judgment in the case of the Attorney- General v. Edmunds, on the question whether the new law to abolish imprisonment for debt included debts to the Crown. His Lurdship held that there was no express enactment or necessary implica- tion to take away the prerogative of the Crown, and he must refuse to make any order on the ap- plication of the defendant. Saturday was the 5<~>th anniversazy of the battle of Waterloo. The number of tho e now living who took part in the engagement is comparatively sm dl. According, however, to the latest official authority there are, or very recently were, nearly a hundred officers still surviving who were present at Water- loo, comprising among them 2 held marshals, 10 generals, 17 lieutenant generals, 5 major generals, 12 colonels, 29 lieutenant colonels, 12 majors, 3 cap- tains, and 1 lieutenant.

On the evening of Wednesday the prosecutor and several clergymen, who had been to superintend the Sunday-school scholars' treat, repaired to the Greyhound Tavern for refreshment. The prisoner stood in front of the bar, and insisted upon taking part in the conversation. Pratt, who had a dog with him, threatened that if he did not keep his conversation to himself he would set the animal upon him. This gave rise to angry expres- sions on both sides, and, what was worse, Haggar made use of threats, adding, I will serve you out during the day." A few minutes afterwards be drew his pocket-knife, and stabbed the prosecutor several times in various parts of the body. The in- jured man remains in a precarious condition.—Tke prisoner was committed to the assizes for trial.

A LEAMINGTON ROMANCE. A Leamington paper trives the following account of a romantic local episode :—Some fifteen years ago the wife of Robert East, jun., who formerly kept the Wheatsheaf Inn, Tachbrooke-road, separated from her husband, and with her child (then an in- fa it in arms) left Leamington by the midnight train, and was not again beard of except on one occasion about seven years back) by her husband until a short time since, when she appeared as the respondent in a divorce suit which was determined against her on S iturday last, on the ground of her previous marriage with East. The petitioner in the case is a gentleman of property, who, it ap- pears, married her in India, in 1867, and it is staged made a permanent settlement in her favour. The whereabouts of the truant wife becoming known to her husband about seven years ago, he went to see her. She was then living in some style in London. She received him very coldly, and told him she could never live with him any more, as she neither cared for him nor her child, whom she said she had not seen for several years, and she could give him no information about. It afterwards came to the knowledge of the husband that the child (who was known as Walter Barnard) was receiving a high-class education and being taken care of at the expense of a gentleman of wealth and po-ition, residing in Warwickshire. A week ago the child (now a fine grown youth of fourteen) was brought • y the mother to the Warneford Hospital and admitted as an in-patient, having fractured his wrist. On his discharge from the hospital a few davs since, there being no one else to receive him, he"went to his father, Robert East, who, however, declines to maintain him, the child having been separated from him so early in life and for so many years that he does net consider himself responsible, although admitting his relationship. The youth (who it seems has only lately been informed of his real name) has been admitted to the workhouse until the question of legal chargeability shall have been decided. The following is a renort of the divorce case re- ferred to ab we :—" Court for Divorce and Matri- monial Causes, June 11.—(Before Lord Penzance.) —M'Fver r. East (falsely called M'lver).—Dr. Tris- tram and Mr. Hodson L'oyd appeared for the peti- tioner. This was a petition for a declaration of nullity of marriage. The petitioner, who is a re- tired broker, married the respondent in Calcutta on the 17th of April, 1867. He afterwards discovered that she had been previously married to a joiner named East. and that her first husband is still living. The Court declared the marriage null and void." Much sympathy, we are informed, is felt for the di- vorced wife, whose relations with her first husband, it is said, were rendered unhappy in consequence of a previous connection which she had formed, and who, having been separated from her husband for fourteen years, was virtually divorced from him, al- though the marriage had not been legally annulled. The information which led to the suit for divorce by the second husband did not proceed from the first one. who would not have taken any action in the matter. =

Mr. Bright was the only Member absent from Saturday's. Cabinet.Council, At an adjourned general meeting of the members of the Junior Conservative Club, held at the offices of the Metropolitan Conservative Association, on Saturday, it was resolved that the club be dissolved forthwith, and the subscriptions returned without any deductions. At an ordination on Trinity Sunday, at St. Mary's Nottingham, by the Bishop of Lincoln, one of the' newly-admitted deacons was William Stacey Chap- man, now of New College, Oxford; but was formerly t, (according to the Nottingham Journal) minister of f George-street Baptist Chapel, in that town. ( Certain medical men have recently asserted that daily work at the sewing machine is injurious tc the women employed at it. But Dr. Decaisne, who has thoroughly investigated the subject, in an establishment containing between six and seven hundred workwomen, has proved that the occu- pation is in no way injurious. Whilst performing at the Bowery Theatre, New York, Miss Minnie We.Is was attacked by one ol the lions belonging to her troupe. The animal, becoming suddenly enraged, sprang at her throat, and inflicted most serious injuries. The lady was rescued with great difficulty, and much excitement nrevaled avn.nsr the audienec. Several of the papers state that alter tne congre- gation had assembled on Friday for the consecration } cf St. Aune's Church, Upper Grange Road, Ber- mondsey, they were informed that the Bishop of Winchester had, at the last moment, refused to consecrate the building, The reason assigned was that the patronage of the church is vested in the Simeon trustees, and that the Bishop considers it ought to be in his own hands. The marriage of the Lady Victoria Alexandrina Byng, third daughter of the Earl of Strafford, with Mr. Fuller, jun., of The Rookery, near Dorking, was solemnised on Saturday, at St. James' Church, Pic- cadilly, in the presence of a numerous circle of the friends of both families. The rite was performed by the bride's brother, the Hon. Francis Byng, the bride being given away by her father, the Earl. After the ceremony the Earl of Strafford gave a dejeuner in celebration to a party of about 60 friends at his residence in St. James's-square. The bride's presents were of unusual number and magnificence. THE FATAL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION.—On Satur- day afternoon the inquest at the Royal Gunpowder Works, Walth am Abbey, was concluded on the bodies of the men who were killed at the explosion at the works on Thursday morning.—Verdict—" Death from the accidental explosion of gunpotvder. '— Frederick Augustus Abel, F.R.S., chemist to the War Department, said the only satisfactory ex- planation which he could form of this explosion was that it was the result of very powerful friction, to which some particle of powder must have been acci- dentally subjected by the presence of some very hard particle of matter, such as sand, or a particle of iron between the surfaces of the spud and copper or gun-metal plate which were pressed together in the act of removing the powder from the press-box. It was mentioned that the deceased all wore beards, and Mr. Abel said it was probably a piece of sand might have been introduced in their hair, and have so caused the explosion. One of the jurymen re- marked that the force of the explosion knocked down a little boy in Cheshunt, and snapped the branch of an orange tree in two in the same place. A FATAL ADVENTURE.—A pupil at the Interna- tional College, Spring grove, near Brentford, named Henry Dentnel Weber and a fellow scholar escaped from the grounds on Saturday evening, and made off to the Grand Junction Canal to bathe. Weber could not swim, but it is stated that his companion was well up in the art. The latter had his plunge, and was in the act of dressing when he heard Weber cry out for help, he having got into deep water. The other immediately stripped again and went to the rescue of his friend, but he was seized round the neck by the drowning youth, and was in danger of losing his own life. After a struggle he succeeded in shaking the other off, and swam to the shore. He then ran as quickly as possible back to the college and gave the alarm, and the butler and several others having reached the canal, made most energetic efforts to recover the body, This was not, however, done till about five o'clock, and then the unfortunate lad was beyond restora- tion. Deceased, who was 13 years old, was the son of Mr. Weber, of 75 Portsdown road. Maida Hill, and is described as having been a very pro- raising boy. He was being educated for the medi- cal profession. STRANGE STORY—SUPPOSED SHOCKING CALAMITY Dr L f' i HTXISO.—On Friday morning, during the pre- valence of the severe storm in the metropolis, a. shocking accident occurred on the river by which three persons are supposed to have lost their lives. About a quarter to one in the morning the lightning broke a large window in a' shed of the London Gas- light and Coke Company, in Battersea. A number of men were in the shed at the time, but escaped unhurt. The noise caused by the crash, however was so great that the watchman, who resides in a small house by the side of the river, was about to go to the shed to see whether any of his fellow-work- men were hurt, when he heard a moaning noise proceeding from the river. It was very dark, and, the no'se continuing, he procured a lantern and looked ill the direction from which he fancied it pro- ceeded. It was, however, fully ten minutes before he discovered the cause. In the mud, which near the gas- works is reported to be very deep, he saw a man lying face downwards, and, procuring assistance, he by means of a rope and ladder succeeded in getting him out. He was then so exhausted that for some time his recovery was despaired of, but eventually he became conscious, and gave an account of the manner in which he got into the river, and sub- sequently into the deep mud where he was found. He said that on his return ^0?* Ascot races he, with three other persons wbota he had met on the course, proceeded as far as Richmond by train, and the night being fine they took a sailing-boat from the latter place, proposing to go as far as West- minster, where the boat was to be given up. On reach ng Battersea, however, the storm had be- come so violent that they determined to make for the nearest landing-place, and on discovering the creek near the gas company s premises the boat was steered towards it. At that momentthe boat capsized, from what cause he could not say, and they were all thrown into the water. He saw his friends for a moment endeavouring to make for ,the shore, and one of them caught hold of him, but he soon sank. Fortunately the tide was low, and he remembered reaching the shore, but nothing more. Hanwell, the watchman, says that when he discovered the man who was saved he was deeply imbedded in the mud, and had he lain there but another ten minutes he must have been drowned, for the tide which was running up, was then washing by his side. When sensible he said, Good God! my friends are about here somewhere." A vigorous search was made, but they could not be seen. On Friday the river was dragged, but without success. Inquiries made at Richmond have substantiated the statement as to the boat being hired there. The occurrence has created considerable exutement the neighbour*; hood. The company from the Haymarfcet i'lieatre, .Lon- don, will shortly visit Manchester. Mr. Sothern will not accompany the party. not accompany the party. It is stated that a High Church divine bitterly opposed the giving of degrees at Oxford to Messrs Froude, Huxley, Tindall, and Darwin. A statement has appeared in an Indian paper to the effect that Mr. Charles Mathews intends visit- ing India in returning to England from Australia. Miss Garret has received the M.D. degree of the Paris University. This is the first occasion on which the degree had been conferred on a woman. M.

A BETTING BETTER HALF.—Mrs. Gorst, wife of a surgeon at Prescott, near Liverpool, has obtained a decree of separation for cruelty, her husband hav- ing often struckher with his closed fists. The hus- band admitted he had struck her, but declared she had a very abusive tongue, and that she spent his money in betting. In cross-examination she ad- mitted that she was in the habit of betting upon horses, but said she never did so before she was married. Her husband used to follow the practice, and she saw no reason why she should not do so.— Lord Penzance: What is the largest sum you ever laid?—Witness: 10s., my lord.—Lord Penzance: And what is the most you ever won F—Witness: JE112, and that I did not get.

SALE OP NEXT PRESENTATION" OF LIVINGI — A singular case was heard on Friday at the Man- chester County Court. Mr. Davis, of Corporation. street, Manchester, sued the Rev. Jeremiah Curtis, of Long Stratton, Norfolk, to recover .£50 commis- sion alleged to be due to him for selling a right to next presentation" for the defendant. Mr. Cob- bett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jordan for the defendant. The plaintiff alleged that he had sold a right to next presentation on account of the defendant, and that, though the bargain had fallen through, it was on account of the title not being satisfactory, and through no default on his part. Mr. Cobbett, in opening the case, said the plaintiff was a clerical agent in Manchester, and had adver- tised for a next presentation, which he wanted to sell to a client. The defendant answered the ad- vertisement. In one of his letters he said I have sent you the particulars of another next pre- sentation. The rector of the first is in a state of health which must very shortly terminate fatally, and it is therefore necessary that an immediate sale should take place; and consequently, the price is fixed at the exceedingly low sum of .83,600, with fi per cent interest. The second is a desirable living, with the prospect also of obtaining possession at no remote period, the rector being far advanced in years. If either of these livings is likely to suit your client's purpose, address a letter by return to me to Shelton Rectory, Long Stratton." Another letter from the defendant stated that he had a next presentation to sell, the income from which was -8550 net, no house, but excellent site for the erec- tion of one. The rector was 81, and very infirm." The population was 200, and the living was near a railway station. The price was fixed at £2,000. The plaintiff was called in support of his case, and ex- amined by Mr. Cobbett; but, in conseq nee of a technical difficulty which arose with regard to the proof of the correspondence between the plaintiff and the defendant, the plaintiff was nonsuited; and; upon the application of Mr. Joidan, the Judge granted the defendant his costs. THE CORK TAILORS AND THEIR AGENTS IN LONDON.—At the Marlborough street (London) Police Court, on Saturday, James Macarthy and Jeremiah Flynn, journeyman tailors, were brought before Mr. Newton by Inspector Keeley, C division, on a warrant charging them that they, with others not in custody, in pursuance of an unlawful combi- nation and conspiracy respecting a certain trade,, did on the 15th of June unlawfully assault and beat Marion Davis, a workwoman. Mr. Froggatt ap- peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Edward Lewis, solicitor to the London Operative Tailors' Protective Association, for the defence. Mr. Froggatt stated that the prisoners were charged under the 24th and 25th Victoria, with unlawfully conspiring and with assaulting the complainant. The operative tailors of Cork were now on strike, and the master tailors there, to get their orders executed, employed as thei2 agent in London-Mr. Sims, of Vine street, tailor, who was to get the work done and then forward it to Ireland. During the last few days the shop of Mr. Sims had been watched by several men, among whom were the prisoners, and persons leaving Mr. Dirns'8 5*>on had been threatened if they continued to do* strike work. On Tuesday last a man named Collins took hold of a workwoman named Davis, shook her, and she, being frightened, took the work back, and the consequence was that Mr. Sims had not been able to get it done. Evi- dence having been given for the prosecution, Mr. E. Lewis contended that the accused had done no more than they were entitled to do. It was neces- sary the workmen should try to counteract the ad- verse combination into which the masters had en- tered, and for that purpose that they should secure the co-operation of their fellow workmen in London. The prisoners had sought out the workmen employ- ed on strike work to tell them of what they were ignorant—namely, that a strike and lock-out ex- isted in Cork, and then to ask them, for the common food, not to lend their assistance to their oppressors, 'he prisoners had been guilty of no violence or in- timidation their conduct had been perfectly peace- able, and there was nothing to justify their being detained further in custody. Mr. Newton said if he were sitting as a judge and addressing a jury, he should tell them there was the very slightest amount of evidence against Marcarthy; but sitting as a magistrate, with the probability of having to deal with the charge again, he thought it was a case for remand. He should take bail, but as the prisoners were strangers in London he did not wish to show harshness towards them, and would therefore fix the bail at two sureties of .£25 each.

A ROYAL CHRISTENING.—The infant daughter of the Prince and Princess Christian was christened on Monday afternoon at Windsor, in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince and Princess Christian, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Louise, &c. The Prince and Princess had a small dinner party on Monday night, IMPORTANT WAGES QUESTION.—AJI important question relating to weekly servants was heard at the Liverpool County Court on Monday. In the case the Judge decided that the pay day was the day when a week began or ended. And further stated that after hearing elaborate counsels argu- ments he would hold that where a man was dis- missed after entering upon a new week he must, there and then, and not on the next pay day, be paid his wages to the end of the week, to make the discharge a good one. RUINED BY BETTING.—A messenger in the Office of the Registry of Designs has given himself up to the police on the ground that he has been guilty of embezzling the sum of J633. It is clear from his statement that the betting-ring has been his ruin, as it has been of so many others before him. Instead of taking the money to the bank he went to West Drayton races and lost some of the :money by bet- ting. He then went to Manchester races hoping to recover some of his losses; but, instead of suc- ceeding in doing that, he lost the whole of the re- mainder. GREAT DESTRUCTION BY FIRE IN A LIVERPOOL COTTON WAREHOUSE.—A fire whÏichresulted in con- siderable destruction of property occurred on Satur- day night in a cotton warehouse in Maddrell-street, Liverpool. The building is occupied by Messrs. De Jersey and Co., of Exchange-court, Exchange-street East, they having a large quantity of cotton stored in at the time of the occurrence. The alarm was conveyed to the fire-engine stations, and men speed- ily arrived with a reel from the Collingwood Dock, an engine from Hatton Garden, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Hewett, reels from the Princes Dock and Vauxhall-road, the West of England bri- gade engine, under the direction of Mr. Superinten- dent Barrett, and the Salvage brigade engine, with Supt. Yelland. The water supply was plentiful, and the Humes were extinguished in about an hour, but not before a great portion of the stock was con- sumed. The amount of the damage is not stated. THE DENHAM 7.VIURDERS.—A number of letters have been received from various parts of the country in reference to the previous history of John Jon s, alias Owen, alias Jenkins, alias Reynolds, the man now in Aylesbury gaol charged with the perpetra- tion of the lato murders at Denham. Suoerinten- dent Dunham has received a letter from Shipston- on-Stour stating that a man named John Owen, a journeyman blacksmith, resided there and was con- victed of felony in 1855. Another letter spates that a man named John Owen, a native of Byfield, left that place 23 years ago with a very bad reputation. He went to Birmingham, and has recently been tramping the country as a blacksmith. Other letters evidently refer to Owen under his alias of Jenkins. Photographs of the prisoner are to be sent to the writers of the letters, and there can be little doubt that his previous history will soon be known. Several persons who have seen the photo- graph aver that they have at various times seen him at Denham, when, they believe, he occasionally worked for Marshall. A LADY FOUND DROWNED IN "THE NEW RIVER' —Dr. Lankester held an inquest an Saturday at the Mitre Tavern, Upper-street, I^linjjton, on the tody of a young lady name unknown. Police-constable Prendergas', 208 N, was on duty about 2 o'clock on Wednesday morning by the side of the New River, near Willowbridge, when he saw a lady's straw hat lying on the grass close to the water. He called another constable, they made a search, and dis- covered the deceased in the water. They got her out and sent for assistance.—Mr. Cornelius, surgeon, 21, Compton-road, said the deceased was a remark- ably fine, health, lady-like woman. Over the left eye was a severe wound. A post-mortem examina- tion showed the cause of death to be drowning. The Coroner said no one had appeared to identify the deceased, neither was anything found on her that '.ould throw any light on the case. It was one of those cases which ought to be made public, as it would perhaps lead to her identification. The jury returned a verdict "That the deceased was found drowned."—Description Age about 26, height about 5ft 4in., light complexion, light brown hair, rather low forehead, light dress, foirr flounces, black jacket, and si.de-spring boots. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE IN THE CITY. —About half-past ten o'clock on Monday morning a man name-d John Duke, living at 28, Bridgwater gardens, Barbican, attempted to murder his wife by cutting her throat with a razor, and afterwards at- tempted to commit suicide by cutting his own throat. A girl named Elizabeth Gurling, living opposite the Dukes, stated that her attention was directed to the room where the Dufces lived, by see- ing the man and woman fighting. She saw Duke take his wife hy the shoulders, and -draw something which he had in his hand across hetr throat. He then appeare d to lay her on the floor, and some time after he went up to the bed and leaned down, and appealed to be covering over the body. After- wards he v/ent to the other side of the room. She then ran. over the way to No. 28, and told the per- sons who were living downstairs what she had seen. These persons had heard the scuffling, and the porce were the n at once sent for. A policeman, on entering Duke's room, found the man with a razor iu his hand. He called out, Leave me alone; I won't hurt you." The policeman wrenched the razor out of Duke's hand and threw it away. Thpy then struggled tc ether, and Duke, in the struggle, got his left hand free, and put his forefinger into a. gash he had made in his throat, and called out to his ife, who was lying in a corner of the room, Yf »u asked me to cut your throat, and afterwards to cut. my own." Duke was at length secured, and both he and his wife were removed to St. Bartholo- mew's Hospital. The woman is not expected to recover, and the man's wound is a very serious one. The Dukes had several children, who were seen in the house on Monday morning, ciying bitterly. The eldest is a girl of between sixteen and seventeen. Duke was a cigar maker, but for*, some time past had been out of work. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A BUTLER AND A POLICEMAN.—At Wandsworth Police Court, ou Saturday last, Frederick John Turner, butler, and Alfred Cummiiigs, police constable V division were charged with maliciously damag ing a pier glass and other property in the house of 1U1'. Richard Valpy, of Heathlands, Wimbledon, and also with stealing several bottles of wine. Mr. Arthur Valpy, the son of the prosecutor, stated that shortly before four o'clock on Thursday morning he asud his father's family returned home from a party, and they were t admitted by Turner, who was the butler. About half-past five o'clock he was awoke by atremendcus crashing noise, and heard his father call out Who's there Witness got up, and on looking into the drawing-room he saw that the pier glass had fallen down. He then went into the dining-room, which he found in great confusion, three panes of glass broken, and other things strewn about. He and his father proceeded down to the pantry, where they found the butler intoxicated. They returned to the drawing-room and found the chandelier and lamps broken, as if something had been thrown at them. Two flower pots which had stood in the hall were in the firc-place.-The prosecutor said he was awoke by au. extraordinary noise, which he at first attributed tc- a storm. His bedroom was over the drawing room. He went down stairs and met a policeman corning out of the drawing-room. He told them to leave his house. Witness opened the door and he went away. He then g.a.ve a description of the scene in thedrawing-room.oimaments having been knocked down, and glass shades broken, and he estimated the da.mage.done at £ 5100. His groom found 14 full bottles of different kimds of wine near Turner's bedstead in the pantry, also three empty champagne bottles.^—Inspector M'Laren took the butler into the drawing room and aslaed him whether he could account for its extraordinary appearance. He said, "No; it's a perfect phenomenon."—Ser- geant Casserley said he was sent by the inspector to look for Cummings, out he could not find him until half-past nine o'clock in the moaning, when ho found him asleep, lying in a garden near the prose cutor's premises. He awoke him, and found fow bottles of wine on him, one in each <tf his trousA' I pockets, and the others in his tu nie pockets.— (Laughter.)—The witness also said that the pr>« 6oner appeared to be recovering from. drunkenness Mr. Dayman committed the rs for trial both charges-
