Dear Sir , —Inclosed is a copy of our financial report up to Michaelmas .

Rapidly , very rapidly , the whole contents of the Crystal Palace are disappearing . The heroes of the Palace have been knighted . What to do with the surplus , is now the question most interesting respecting the Exhibition . The Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes opened , on Wednesday , a portion of ^ the Thanksgiving-buildings in Portpool-lane , Gray ' s-innlane , as a public washhouse for the use of the poor in that densely populated neighbourhood . M . Caplinof Manchesterwhose name appears in the
, , list of persons entitled to Exhibition medals for gymnastic apparatus and orthorachidic instruments , has just forwarded a juvenile gymnasium to Buckingham Palace for the use of the youthful members of the Royal Family . Miss Glyn , who was so long one of the chief supports of Sadler ' s Wells Theatre , has again resumed her Shakspearian readings , On Thursday night she read Macbeth in the great room of the Whittington Club to an overflowing audience , who were enthusiastic in their applause .
A new omnibus association has been formed this week , to work various omnibus routes , at reduced fares . The first route opened is from Bayswater to Tottenhamcourt-road , 2 d . ; thence to the Bank , 2 d . Second route , from the Great Westerrj- to the Great Northern Railway , 3 d . ; and from the Yorkshire Stingo to King ' scross , 2 d . A body of carpenters , bricklayers , and labourers amounting to 300 or 400 , struck work at the terminus of the Great Northern Railway on Friday week . The cause of the strike was the stoppage of the hour and a half allowed to the men on Saturday . The men gained their point .
The Organ Of Russia And The Foreign Offi...
The organ of Russia and the Foreign Office , the Morning Post , published the following announcement before any of its contemporaries : — ' We are happy to be able distinctly to state , that the political difficulties to which we have more than once referred , as having threatened to obstruct that important undertaking , the proposed railway between Alexandria , Cairo , and Suez , may be considered as finally removed , the opposition which had been offered on certain technical grounds by the Porte to the intentions of Abbas Pasha having been
honourably reconciled . It is not necessary that , in making this announcement , we should at present enter into the details of the real history of these transactions , on which , as we perceive from some of the speeches made at the late public meeting in the City , considerable misconception has existed on the part of the public . Still less need we enlarge on the immense prospective advantages of this plan both to England and to Egypt , or to the high credit which the conduct and ultimate arrangement of such an enterprise reflects on our own country . "
The Municipal Council Of Marseilles Has ...
The Municipal Council of Marseilles has come to a resolution , expressing a desire for the establishment of a line of electric telegraph between Paris and Marseilles . It is announced that the Duchess d'Angouleme died at Frohsilorf on the 19 th instant , the anniversary of the execution of her mother , Marie Antoinette . The Roman Republic abolished and destroyed the guillotine . The Pope , with loud exultation of the Ultramontanes , had a new one made , and set it up again . It is now actively employed in the cause of religion ! A powder magazine blew up on the 15 th at BLreims , in Austria . The whole of the building was destroyed . The bodies of three membcrs ^ of a commission , who had been on a visit of inspection of the fortress , have since been found , but that of the director , who accompanied them , has not yet been discovered . Two soldiers and a young girl were also killed , and several other persons seriously injured .
It is not intended , as stated by some of our contemporaries , to make any further immediate addition to ( he forces now at the Cape or on the voyage to that colony . — Globe . The Glasgow Free (!) Press of last Saturday says : — " We avow ourselves the willing slave of the priests ; and feel happier under their severest admonition than the veriest independent who ever gloried in the impious right of private judgment . " The great cable , for telegraphic communication
between this country and the Continent , the progressive staged of which have already been recorded , was completed on Friday , by carrying it up one mile out of the sea to Sangatte , on the Calais coast . Telegraphic communication between Calais and the South Foreland , the latter about three miles from Dover , wus practically , and for the first time , through a perfected sea cable , eflected between eoast and coast ; mid it is , therefore , hoped that no interruption will arise to continuous mid successful telegraphic intercourse , when arrangements at present pending are completed .
JJy the Bcrew-Hteamcr Arno , which arrived at this port from Italy last week , we had transported to our shores an interesting refugee , in the shape of ii mere boy , oixtecn years of age ( whose name , for obvious reasons , we are not permitted to mention ) , who literally had to " run his country to save his neck . " Half an hour before the Arno left . Leghorn , he was brought on board , coneealed in a sack , and pl . iced for safety amongst the provisionH in the lazaret . The person in charge of " like paicel " piiid jt . H pa . s ^ age money to England , and thus far w ; in all Captain llaram knew about , the matter at
the time . On getting clear of the port , however , it . turned out . that . " the wick , " like many of those occasionally ilroppt ( 1 into tin : liosphorus , contained n living freight , ; and a dark-eyed boy made his appenrimce to claim thr protection of t . ho commander of the vessel . Illitt only credentials were an appeal to the sympathies of human nature in assisting a fellow creature in distress , and a letter of introduction to Messrs . M'Kcan , M'Larty , and Co ., of this town . It appeared that this young gentleman , and a number of other precocious npiiitH , hud formed ihcinsclveH into a oecret society for the printing and circulation of religious
and political works , among which the distribution of th Bible , and pamphlets on the " freedom of Italy , " formed a prominent part . The authorities having got wind t their proceedings , several of the members were arrested and summarily shot ; and to escape a similar fate ou hero was embarked on board the Arno . His parents knew nothing of his connection with the affair until startled by the appearance of the soldiers to demand the person of their son ; and for a couple of days previous ta the Arno ' s arrival at Leghorn , he had been removed from house to house in the suburbs of the city to escape detection . ^
One Man Has Been Killed And Two Others I...
One man has been killed and two others injured by an . accident at the terminus of the Great Northern Railway A great stone was being raised on Monday , the tackle broke and the men fell to the ground , the stone crushing one . ° Mr . Crosby , the Bristol , solicitor alleged to be implicated in the Bath poisoning case , has been committed to take his trial for the wilful murder of his baby . It will be remembered that Elizabeth Slater , or Lewis , had been previously committed . Mr . Crosby in the most solemn manner protested his entire innocence . Mr . Edward Perry , the tinplate worker , of Wolverhampton , has been indicted for perjury , by Mr . William Peel , Secretary of the National Trade Association , and acquitted , on account of the contradictory nature of the evidence .
A master bricklayer , named William Scadden , knocked down ot fe of his men , named Taylor , in Chiswell-street , last Saturday . The man died instantly from the blow , and the coroner ' s jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter " against Scadden . A serious fire broke out in the premises of Mr . Paris , at Enfield , on Wednesday . Its magnitude may be guessed when we state that it blazed away from Wednesday midday until Thursday , evening ; and that the property consumed consisted of three barns , eight stacks of corn and hay , and many sheds and stables . An accident , similar to that at Bicester , occurred on Monday at the East Lancashire Railway near Clifton , five miles from Manchester . The engine took one line , the carriages another . Six passengers were injured , but none fatally .
Maria Stewart , charged with having killed two of her illegitimate children , made the following confession on Wednesday week : —She ' said , " It is a fortnight today since my child was born . " I asked her if it was born alive . She said , " Yes , it was ; it was a fine little girl , and after it was born it cried and sucked its fingeis , pretty dear . " And then in a lamentable kind of way , she said , " Bless the dear child ! I cried over it , and did not know what to do with it . " I aaked her what time on the Wednesday was the child born . She said " It was born about nine o ' clock in the morning , and was alive in the afternoon , when I laid hands on it , held it to my
breast , and let it suck . It began to cackle , and I thought some one would hear it , and that I must kill it . I put my hand over the mouth , and nipped the throat with my fingers , and then took my garter and tied or put it round the neck , so that it might die easy . " I killed it because I thought 1 should not have a father for my child . I kept it in my bed until Monday morning , the morning of the day I was taken , when I buried it in rny uncle ' s lodge . It is the second little girl I have murdered . I strangled them both . After I murdered the first child , I prayed to God , and told him if he forgave me I would not do so again . But I have , and if I pray to him again he will not hear me . "
