FROM THE PAPERS. Mr Mortimer Collins, the novelist, died at Richmond on Friday night, July 28. The foundation atone of the new Lincoln County Hospital was laid on Thursday by Earl Brosrnlow, the Lord-Lienlenant of the connty. The Bishop of Lincoln took part in the ceremony. Ex-Colonel Valentine Bftkir, late of the 10th Hussars, has, according to the Central News Agency, accepted a commission in the Turkish service, and leaves at once for the East. His camp eqaipment and celebrated Arab charger have already been shipped for the seat of war. A special telegram from Madeira announces that the blockade of the ports of Dahomey commenced on the 1st of July. Vessels already in the port will be allowed thirty days to load and depart. It is not intended to attack Daho- mey by sea, but to advance en the capital. The Manchester Courier says that the leading coalowners of tLe Manchester district have resolved to reduce prices, 5d. a ton on slack and lOi. a ton on other descriptions. The reduction is attributed to underselling and rapid ac- cumulation of stocks. The Right Rev. Samuel Butcher, D. D., Protestant Bishop of Meath, was found dead in his study on Saturday morn- ing, July 29, having committed suicide by cutting his throat. A acrap of paper was found by his side, on which he had written the word mad." He had recently suffered from illuesa. An application was made to Vice-Chancellor Hall, on Thursday, July 27th, on behalf of the Bencher's of Gray's- inn, that Dr Kenealy be ordered to give up possession of the chambers which he held from them in Gray's-inn- square. The motion was resisted by Dr Kenealy on the ground that he was about to appeal. The Vice-Chancellor however, made the order, but directed it not to be acted on until January 1,1877, or such earlier time as the defend- ant's appeal (if any) should be disposed of. At the Liverpool Assizes, on Friday, before Mr Justice Lindley, William Fish was tried for the murder of Emily Holland, at Blackburn, in March last. The evidence was overwhelming against the prisoner, who did not deny his gnilt, but 8aid he did not know what he was doing at the time. The learned counsel who had been requested to undertake the defence set up a plea of insanity. The jury consulted for about one minute, and then returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence of death was passed. The other day, in deciding the appeal of Ruddick v. Edward Lawrence and other licensing justices of the borough of Liverpool, the Queen's Bench Division laid it down that a publican has a prima facie" right to the renewal of his licence, and that no objection can be made to its renewal unless a written notice has previously been served upon him. In pursuance of this decision Mr Ruddick on Saturday, July 29, obtained the formal renewal of his licence. The Board of Trade enquiry concerning the explosion of c^al-gai on the ship Atalanta, by which four lives were lost, was concluded at Cardiff on Saturday, July 29, and resulted in the suspension of the captain's certificate for two years. The second mate was reprimanded. It was shown in evidence that Welsh steam coal is of a peculiarly inflammable nature, and that great carelessness exisited in the ventilation of ships laden with this coal. The Court expressed an opinion that a means of ventila- tion should be provided on collier-ships, and embodied this view in a recommendation to the Board of Trade. At the Liverpool Assizes on Saturday, July 29th,a young man named Richard Thompson was sentenced to death by Mr Justice Lindley for the wilful murder of John Henry Blundell. The prisoner had been courting a young woman at the house of the deceased, and the latter having for- bidden him the house, the prisoner threatened him. On the 15th April the deceased was on his way home when the prisoner attacked him and stabbed him a dozen times, and from the effects of the injuries inflicted the man died two days afterwards. A shocking suicide and attempted wife murder took place on Friday night, July 28, at Pucklechurch, a small village near Bristol. The suicide, Jonathan Gibbs, a well-to-do farmer, fifty years of age, has for some time been in indif- ferent health. He returned home on Friday night, after visiting some of his relations, and during the temporary absence of his nephews, who manage the farm, he attempted to murder his wife by cutting her throat and face. Upon being driven to Wapley, Gibbs jumped from the trap, and thrust the blade of his penknife into his neck under the ear, repeating the operation on the other side of the neck. He died shortly afterwards. Mrs Ciibbs is seriously injured. A deputation from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has waited upon the Home Secretary, to ask that the Vivisection Bill might be passed into law in the present session. The Earl of Harrowby, who intro- duced the deputation, read a resolution passed at a meeting of the society on July 13th last, thanking Government for the Bill, and expressing a desire that still further protection should be extended to living creatures. Lord Harrowby said it was of the utmost importance that some searching expression of public opinion, such as Parliament alone could afford, and such as the measure pointed to, should be im- posed to check this new current of enquiry. The Bishop of Gloucester, Cardinal Manning, and other members of the the deputation having spoken, the Home Secret iry, in re- ply, {said they must be aware that at this period of the session it would be absolutely impossible to carry a Bill of this kind in the face of the opposition from the medical Srofeasion and the scientific world, but he was in great opes that that opposition would not be forthcoming. On Sunday morning, July 30th, the Lord Mayor, ac- companied by the Sheriffs, attended Divine Service at the City Temple, oa the occasion of Dr. Parker completing his seventh year's ministry in the City of London. In the coarse of his sermon Dr. Parker'f mentioned the fact that his was the eldest Congregational Church in London, having been founded in 1640 by Dr. Thomas Goodwin, a member of the Westminster Assembly of Diviziei, some time President of Magdalen College, Oxford, and Chap- lain to Oliver Cromwell. The site of the chapel was one associated with many hitterical memories. Hard by, in Charterhouse- square, Robert Baxter died; on Snow-hiil died John Bunyan on the south side stood the old Fleet Prison, where Bishop Hooper was confined; and Smith- field was quite near, with its crowd of martyrs. A tablet to the memory of the founder is about to be erected in the vestibule of the City Temple, and Dr. Parker said he was desirous of putting in sixteen memorial windows in honor of several Puritan divines, and of the Smithfield martyrs. At the s'tting of the Wesleyan Conference, at Notting- ham on Saturday, a letter was read from Canon Morse, proposing to hold a special service in the parish church on the following day for all who were willing to attend, and inviting members of the Conference to tea at the vicarage after the service. Sunday was what is known as Con- ference Sunday." The most interesting service of the day. and the one unique in the history of modern conferences, was at St. Mary's Church, in response to the invitation of the Rev. Canon Morse. The service was very numer- ously attended, about 200 Wesleyan ministers occupying seats reserved in front of the pulpit. Amongst them were five ex-presidents and many leading members of the con- ference. Special hymns were selected from the Wesleyan collection. The Rev. Canon Morse chose for his text Galatians, 32d chapter and the 28th verse, Ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

FATAL AFFRAY WITH POACHERS. Late on Friday night, July 28, a poaching affray occurred on the estate of Sir Henry Delves Broughton, at Haalingtm, a few miles from Crewe. The gamekeeper of the estate having had information that a visit might be expected from a gang of experienced poachers, obtained the help of four assistants, and remained in ambush until eight men arrived and commenced operations on Oak- hanger Moss. A terrible conflict ensued, during which the son of a neighbouring farmer came on to the scene and fired upon the men, who however, all succeeded in making their escape. Early the next morning, Mr Edwards, of Has- lington Hall, ia walking through one of his corn fields, found a man, named Bullock, lying in a ditch frightfully wounded, and evidently in a dying condition. Help was sent for, but before the man's depositions could be taken he expired in great agony, the contents of a gun having lodged in his abdomen and produced mortification. The police have already arrested five other men as having been concerned in the affray. The deceased man belonged to the ntighbouring village of Wheelock, and the other men who are in custody are from the same locality. At the inquest Dr Vaughan. of Crewe, said the gun could not have been more than six or seven yards off when it was dis- charged. Joseph Beech, the head keeper, who had a det-p cut near the right eye, described the affray, and said that the poachers were the assailants, and threatened to murder k* .an<^ his men. A farmer, named Siddall, declared that if it had not been for him Beech would have been murdered. He admitted having discharged the gun twice, but not with intent to injure any one. He shot over their a the first time, and the second time he discharged the gun in an Opposite direction from where the affray was going on. Siddall was the only man with the head keeper who carried a gun, but some of his other assistants had pistols. The shots in the body of the deceased were gun- shots. The inquiry was adjourned. Eight poachers have been arrested, and two of the keepers are lying in a dan- gerous condition.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE FLYING DUTCHMAN." On Thursday morning, July 27, the" Flying Dutchman," the fait express train which runs from Exeter to London via Bristol in about five hours, ran off the line at a junction near Long A.hton, Briit,-I. Jbe train, it was stated, was from 15 to 20 minutes late at Taunton, and txtra speed was put on to recover IoLit ground. It is not exactly known how the accident occurred, but an examination of the spot does not disclose any defect in the rails. The engine left the rails, crossed the down line, and plunged into the bank. The engine and tender were smashed to pieces, and the engine-driver and stoker were killed on the spot. Fortu- nately, the coupling chain between the engine and the first cirrijge snapped when the engine left the rails, and the train of carriages ran about 150 yards up the line aRd then came to a standstill. Had they been carried after the en- gine and tender the loss of life must have been a -raothing terrible, as this train is a favourite one with business men from Exeter, Taunton, and the other principal towns on the Bristol and Exeter line. It was also a fortunate cir- cumstance, too, that the place where the accident occurred was up-hill. The engineer was found under his engine, with an arm and leg cu1; off, and otherwise disfigured. A great many of the passengers were very badly shaken, but no lives were lost among the passengers. The line was blocked for spveral hours. The number of persons injured and the extent of the injuries have proved to be tnore serious than was at firwt thought. This is explained by the fact that the guard's fan was thrown off the line for a part of the distance and smashed, and the debris knocked about the first passenger carriage. The permanent way was torn up 150 yards. The guard Watts, al- though sufferii g from a fractured arm, had the presence o mind, knowing a down train was about to start, to run towards Bristol and stop it, and prevent its running into towards Bristol and stop it, and prevent its running into the debris.

A FOWL PROCEEDING.—A New York man who is spend- ing the hot weather season with a family on Fine-street, was asked by the lady of the house if he would take a hen off the nest, as it wanted to sit, and she didn't want it to. Certainly," said he, and immediately started out to the barn, where the hens were kept, to crush out the mater- nal prospects of It his paiticular one. He went straight for the nest to lift her off, and he reached out his hand for that purpose, but immediately drew it back again and tucked it up under the other arm, and squeezed it a little, while he drew up his lips as if about to whistle something. Then he stood there are stared at the hen, and she lifted up her head and stared back at him, winking her eye with sin- gular velocity. Get off, won't you ? said he,after a pause. She made no response. lie drew out his hand and looked at a red spot on one of the knucles, and then put the knuckle in bis mouth to cool it, looking all the while at the hen, and wondering how on earth she moved so quickly. The longer he eyed her the less inclined he felt to touch her, and finally he climed up a post to a beam which ran over the nest, and, working himself out till he got just above the hen, took off his hat and shook it at her, and advised her to get." But she only looked up at him one eye at a time, and chuckled ominously. He told her if she dicllntleave he'd come down there and kick her through the barn, but immediately gave up his bloodthirsty design when he re- fleeted that it was a dumb animal, and couldn't reason like a human being. Then he happened to think of his pants, which were white linen, and rubbed his fingers on the beam to find them full of black dust, which led him to work his body around to look at his pants, and while making this very natural move, he suddenly slipped, made a plunge to renew hia hold, shrieked for help, slipped again, and then came down on top of the hen and the nest, smashing them both to the floor, upsetting a barrel, and filling the air with dust, feathers, hen-noises, and shrieks. When the family reached the barn, the unfortunate man, looking something like a circus-poster on legs, had got on his feet, and was turning round and rubbing his head in an ab- stracted manner, and every time he turned, an omelet on a white linen base came in view. while the hen stood up in the furthest corner on one leg, with a look of mingled as- tonishment and reproach upon her countenance. -Danbury News. HuSB&NDB.-A ship captain is a good man to marry if it is a marriage of love, for absences are a good influence in love, and keep it bright and delicate but he is just the worst man if the feeling is more pedestrian, as habit ia too frequently torn open and the solder has never time to set. Men who fish, botanise, work with the turning-lathe, or gather sea-weeds will make admirable husbands; and a little amateur painting in water-colour shows the innocent and quiet mind. Those who have a few intimates are to be avoided while those who awim loose, who have their hat in their hand all along the street, who can number an Infinity of acquaintances and are not chargeable with any one friend, promise an easy disposition and ao rival to the wife's influence. I will not say they are tbe best of men, but they are tbe stuff out of which adroit and capable women manufacture the beat of husbands. It ia to be noticed that those who have loved ones or twice already are so much the better educated to a woman's hand the bright boy of fiction is an odd and most uncomfortable mixture of shyness and coarseness, and needs a deal of civilizing. Lastly (and this is, perhaps, the golden rule), no woman should marry a teetotaller, or a man who does not smeke. It is not for nothing that this "igioble tabagie," as Michelet calls it, spreads over all the world. Michelet rails against it because it renders you happy apart from thought or work to provident women this will seem no evil influence in married IiI. Whatever keeps a man in the front garden, whatever cht cks waudeiing fancy and all inordinate ambition, whatever m'ikes for lounging and contentment, makes just so suiely for domestic happiness. -From Virginibus Puerisque," in the Cornhill Maga- zine" for August. THE HEAT EXPLAINED.-The New York Times iiays. For the last fortnight the heat has not only been intense, but it has had a peculiarly oppressive quality, which is more remarkable than the unusual height of the thermo- meter. Every one has noticed the fact of the extreme and oppressive heat, but scarcely any one is aware of the coincident and suggestive disappearance of all scientific persons. Who has seen a scientific person during the last two weeks? It so happens that a remark was made some weeks since by a young and reckless astronomer which may prove the key to this mystery. The rash person in question made the statement that the pre- sence of vast and increasing quantities of magnesium on the solar photosphere had lately been detected by the spectroscope. A man does not require to be an educated and profound fireman on board a steamboat to know that magnedium when used as fuel generates an intense heat. If magnesium in enormous quantities has lately been heaped on the solar furnace, we need be at no loss to understand the meaning of the present intolerable heat, and if the amount of this objectionable fuel which is thus rais- ing the temperature of the sun is continually increasing, we might as well break our thermometers and resign ourselves to a near and inevitable roasting. Nothing is more probable than that tb6 scientific persons are fully aware that improper fuel has been thrown into the sun, and plainly foresee the terrible results which will follow, unless the supply of magnesium soon nomes to an end. Like wise men, they fear to announce to the unreasoning public the possibility that, in a few short weeks, the present heat, which makes starched shirt collars a mockery, will be doubled in its intensity. The mob too often holds the prophet responsible for the evil which he has predicted, and no astute astronomer cares to exasperate the public mind by predicting a temperature of 180 deg., lest the ful- filment of his prediction should be celebrated by the break- ing of his personal head with his private spectroscope. We have here a satisfactory explanation both of the excessive heat which now oppresses us and the simultaneous disap- pearance of the scientific men. The matter is, however, of too great importance to be left under the shadow of a doubt. A scientific person must be caught, at whatever cost, and the exact truth must be dragged from him. We must know the full extent of our danger, and the sooner the knowledge is obtained the better."

A BURNING BARQUE OFF THE WELSH COAST. About four o'clock on Monday morning, July 31, an alarm of fire was given from the barque Famiglia Prima, of Genoa, 619 tons, Jean Batteroza master, from Sligo for Cardiff, in ballast, which put in the Cross-roads, Beau- maris. on Sunday night, weather-bound. The gunboat Cromer, having some naval reserve D-en on board, vlo was lying off Beaumaris, and at once steamed to give assistance. Finding the flames making too great headway, the captain wanted the guuboat to fire into her, but, the Penmon pilot representing that the wreck would directly block the channel, the burning barque was towed ashore by the steamer Fairy, Captain Hughes, belonging to the City of London Steamship Company, and beached about eight o'clock, just below the Penmon Quarries. At nine o'clock at night she had slowly burned to the water's edge, her crew, thirteen 8011 told, having got ashore in their own boat. A detachment of the Coastguard, under the command of Chief-officer Nee, were in attendance to protect the barque, but the foreigners declined all offers of assistance, and, it is alleged, drew their knives upon the bystanders. The cause of the fire is attributed to one of the crew going into the lazarefte for provisions, and incautiously leaving his lamp near some bamboos.
