PATHETIC SCENE IN A POLICE COURT. Some extraordinary scenes marked a case jn- vestillitte(i by Mr. Plowden at the Marylebone Poiice Court- the other day, in which an Irishman named John McCoy, nged 25. a wiudow cleaner, of Chclls Street, Lissou Grove, was charged with maliciously stabbing and wounding his brother Patrick by stabbing him with a knife, thereby Causing him bodily harm. The accused,duringthe hearing of the case, ex. liibited but very little emotion, while his brother, on the contrary, seemed overcome with grief, sobbed aloud, and gave his evidence with great difficulty. He explained that John came to his lodging ai:d wanted 2s., as he was in a little trouble. lie replied that as soon as the "gell" (his sister) came in he would give him a bob," but he couldn't spare any more. That, said John, was no use to him. Well," replied witness, "I j would if I could, as we have always been kind one to the other; but circumstances alter cases." Then the "gell cit nie iii, and she and John ar- gned the point until, one word following another, lie up with a plate to strike her." At that wit- ness got, up, and declaring that whoever touched Iris sister touched him, aimed a blow at John. "I It w-ts ivt*ottg of iiie, continued the witness, to do it. lie beill,g a cripple. 1llld the poor fellow in the heat, of temper took up a knife that was handy-bnt he didn't mean it." Mr. Plowden-What prevented you striking bim ? Witness—My heart didn't allow me because he's tcrippte. He only just shaved me through my two fingers, and it was quite accidental. ° I put j»y hand up and the knife caught it. Mr. PlowdclI-I am to understand that yonr fingers got. in the way of the knife? Witness—Yes, sir but he's very sorry. Mr. Plowden—You appear to be veiy grateful to bim. Why did you charge him? Witiless-Well, blood is thicker than water. I being a strong able fellow and he a cripple. (At this point witness burst, into tears.) Mr. Plowden—You seem to be very much nt. tached to him? Witness (sobbing) Well, he's never done me tiny harm. The sister of the two men wns then called, ai d Spoke to her brother John taking up a plate to throw at her, but being greasy it slipped and fell to the ground. lie then picked np a knife, and was going to throw it at her when Patrick got be- tween t hem and received the knife instead. John,she added, Was a very quick tempered fellow. Dr. Coram James said the prosecutor had sus- tained two incised wounds between the little and the thin! finger, an artery had been cut, and blood flowed freely. The accused, in his defence, pleaded that what happened was a pure accident, for which he was deeply y. Mr. Plowden, :Jl committing the prisoner for trial, remarked that iL was a very unhappy oc. currence.

'A HIGH PRICE FOR BURNS POEMS.
A HIGH PRICE FOR BURNS POEMS. The highest price ever obtained for a Kilmarnock first ediiiou of the poems of Hums has been re- corded at the sale of the hooks of the late Mr. A. C. Lamb, of Dundee, in Dowell's Rooms, Edin- burgh. A local bookseller started the bidding ut 50 guineas. The next, bid was 100 guineas, and in advances of 10 and 30 guineas the ptice soon leached 250 guineas. Up to this point there were four or live gentlemen in the running, but the contest for the coveted volume narrowed itself down to Mr. Wheeler, of Messrs. J. Pearson and Co., and Mr. Frank T. Sahin, US, Shaftesbury Avenue. The bidding, which was of a spirited nature, rose to 500guineas, ab which point the sale was stopped a few moments to permit of a Jiearty round of npplause at this remarkable figure. AYiLh slight pauses Mr. Sabin continued to force the pi ice, and it was ultimately knocked down to him aL Lhe extraordinary price of 545 guineas. Hitherto, it, is believed, 120 guineas was the highest sum reached for a lirst edition, though 160 guineas have been obtained for a copy along with a holograph leuer from the poet. The late Mr. Lamb secured his copy along with some other books, for less than £100 from Mr. Simpson, of Droughty Ferry. THEOSOPHY v. SRIRITUALISIL SPEECH BY MRS. BESANT. The Theosophists and Spiritualists are at war. So at least we gather from au address just de. livered by Mrs. Besanfc at the conversazione of the London Spiritualist Alliance. Her object, she pointed out, was to endeavour to bring the two bodies into line, and so combat the common enemy—materialism. Though they might, differ on points of detail they were-hoth aiming at that object by turning the thoughts of men in the direction of spirituality. Theosophists did nok care whether they dealt with the souls in or ont I of the body, and they believed that there were a niiiiiber of I levolviiig sotils" in living bodies at the present time. The illitial mistake was made when they failed to recognise the fact that the power of "manifestation" existed in the soul whether of a dead or living body. To the Theo. sophist there was no such thing as death. They ■were all agreed that the sonl evolved and that knowledge increased as the sonl grew older. What divided them in opiniou was not the ques- tion of evolution, but only the comparatively sub- sidiary question—Did that; evolution go on by rapid experience on earth alive or did it go on in spheres outside the world? If they were once nlliteli on the fundamental principle of the evo- lution of the sonl," they need not take up clubs to each other. Mrs. J'esant further pointed out that the theory she propounded was a powerful moral lever for society at large. Death did not net as a kind of a Bankruptcy Court, where a Juall could be whitewashed from the debts COli. tracted during life. On the subject of "mediums," she averred that not any number of fraudulent manifestations could possibly shake the truth of genuine phenomena, which every student knew did occur* She admitted that there might he frandlllent "mediulIIs" but she quoted a book called Shadowland," by Aladtnie (I'E-il)ei-eiice, to show that the manifestations in seances did not depend upon the medium alone. In olllen times vestal virgins were mediums" of a very liigh type. They existed in a moral atmosphere of absolute perfection. No drinker of wine, eater of meat, or smoker of tobacco was allowed to go near such lIIedinllls "-(there was some irrever- ezit Iiii,,Iitei- liet-(!)-,xitd by reverting to those conditions only could they hope to bring medium- ship to that high level of intelligence which she claimed for it. In conclusion, she mged that the Spirillllllist should treat the Theosophist with leas vigour.

The Biitish Government has now received con nrmalion of the report that the Niger Coast Pro- tectorate forces had met with a sharp resistance while attempting to quell tribal disturbances, and that a British officer had been fatally wounded, while two others had been more or less seriously injured. It/is satisfactory to know that the natives were quarelling amollg themselves when the Pro- tectorate troops interfered, and were not ptimarily rebelling against; British authority. It is also satisfactory to learn that the trouble av. pears to be over. A telegram received at the Foreign Office from her Majesty's Commander and Consul-General in'the Niger Coast Protectorate stating that an expedition, sent np the Cross River to settle some inter-tribal disputes, had met with severe resistance.

|A UNIQUE CEREMONY.
A UNIQUE CEREMONY. The IToJy Week, as celebrated in Seville, has obtaineda. great reputation on account, of its religious processions, says the Connies* of Neath in the "Quiver." Unlike Rome, that which att-iocls the multitude at tilis time, goes oa out- side rather than inside the sacred edifices. In the strr-ets of Seville, a town which boasts of a past in which Mohammedan history is closely involved, are to be seen the Pasos," richly gilded stands, «di,whieh the images of sacred persons are placed and borne through the principal streets by the twenty-five "Cofradias" or Confraternities of the eity. The first II Pnsos" I saw was on l)lm Sunday, but on Holy Thursday I foun d myself, in the company of a friend at the cere- mony of the "Lavatorio," or washing of the feet. It was held in a chapel of the Cathedral which was ollce the parish church, but was swallowed up in the present vast, and splendid structure, with its famous Maorish Giralda Tower dating from he time when 011 this very spot stood a magnificent mosque. We arrived in good time, and consequently able to obtain places not; far distant from the spoli where the Archbishop's chair had been placed between two others. Near bj were twelve seats destined for the old men, who, airayed in new garments, were lirst feasted at the palace, and afterwards came in, each with a towel over his shoulder, to take his place on the right and left sides of the altar. This was closely veiled with a long violet silken curtain. The same ceremony was on this day performel1 in Madrid, only the Queen herself IllIderlook tIle office of Lavatoris." Not long after the men were seated the archbishop arrived. A procession was formed of many ecclesiastics, the prelate being the cell t ral figure. They werer cLuJ in violet or black, some weaving white cassocks, whilst; the archbishop had a very long train of the former hue. After he had taken his seat, with two priests, presumably canons, on either s'ide of him, Liley had to give way to two higher ecclesias- tics in gorgeous red and white vestments. On bended knees, a silvei tray was presented to the iiichbishop. Ou this his violet train was deposited, and lie was arrayed in a not dissimilar vestment frdlH those of the two bishops on his right al111 left, I cannot, remember, and it would be tedious to desciibe, all the details of I)iiil dressing and iimliessing it to say that evelllllally lllp; magnificently embroideied menfc, which it was evident could not he worn when the j.rela te was about to imitate the example of IIi»ii who was at once low- liest of men, had to he di«i!iude»(. Finally, the Archbishop, wit h mitre on his head and towel round his waist, proceeded to kneel In trout of each of the poor men in lilt ill. order to wash their feet, two other priests assisting liini it, the task. When the ceremony was completed the Archbishop was once more arrayed in purple; and soon afterwards a round-faced priest mounted the pulpit, and commenced preaching about the love of Christ, as exemplified the act of snpreme humility which had just been com- memorated.
