exception of Fredericks , it was admitted by Mr . Edwin James , who conducted the defence , that no answer could be made to the charge . He said that the others would , plead Guilty , upon the understanding that they should enter in to a recognizance to appear and receive judgment if they should he required to do so . At the same time , he begged to state that , although two of the defendants appeared to have been guilty of violence , their conduct was repudiated ty the others , and they were liable to be punished under another form of indictment . * ' The course suggested was agreed to by the Attorney-General , wfib prosecuted ; Fredericks was declared N " ot Guilty ; the others pleaded Gujjty ; and after a lecture from . Mr . Baron Bramvell , they entered into the required recognizances , and were discharged . There was another indictment against the defendants Brown and Young for an assault , arising out of the same transaction , but no evidence was offered , and " a verdict of INot Guilty was taken .

A Flower of Clericai . Ehbtokic . — -A meeting was held on Tuesday evening in the-Freemasons' Tavern , for tie purpose of protesting against the prohibition by the Government of the open-air preaching in Victoria Park . The Rev . Mr . 'Crybbace took the chair , and in the course of his speecli asserted that the clergy have a divine and human right to the us « of the parks for preaching in . He also related that when , on the sixth Sunday after permission lad been given to preach in Victoria Park , lie found a notification io the effect that the permission ¦ was withdrawn , he sail to himself , in allusion to Sir Benjamin Hall , " The cowardly bally ! he must be well beaten into common decency . " Mr . Robert Taylor , who professed himself a Materialist and an open-air preacher , in the promulgation of his own religious views ,
supported the nght of all sects in the country to use the parks for open-air preaching , and would support the memorial to the Government if he and his sect were not cried down . Dr . Sleigh thought "the meeting : ought to be much obliged to the last speaker ; for , when such doctrines aa the Materialists professed were openly preached to the public , the greater became the necessity for the preaching in the parks . Another of the speakers stated that he received the greatest hindrance from ecoffers and infidels while he was preaching in open places . A resolution In favour of the objects of the meeting was adopted . — -A letter has been addressed to Sir Benjamin Hall by the holy Crybbace . It is very long , very tedious , and very spiteful , and is written in a tone of vulgar insolence and abuse which shows how much of rage and vexation was burning in the Christian heart of him who wrote it . The pious gentleman intimates that he and his friends will not obey the law ,
because it is contrary to the law of God ; hints that the infidels were prompted "by their superiors" to blasplieme , as an excuse for suppressing the clergymen , and thus leading to a restitution of the sinful band playing ; hectors " the Welsh gentleman" for " playing the irresponsible despot" and performing " Napoleonic coupd'etat ; " requests , strangely enough , that our parks and churches may not be atyrsed by "disguised traitors and anti-Christian priests" ( well said , oh Crybbace !); and thus concludes : — " Sir , we pray God that you may not add to you * other sins "that of hypocrisy , but answer us as you think in your heart , as sincerely and frankly as we have addressed you- We utterly detest that smoothtongued villany , concealing the most sinister designs under the fairest words , which menof your sort consider political tact and courtly address , but which is more offensive , loth to God and man , than the outspoken blasphemy which has so moved you with pious horror to resist the preaching of the pure Gospel of God . "
Suicides . —Mrs . Sarah Ann Phillips , a lady of independent property , has poisoned herself with oil of bitter almonds . She was a widow , and for many years had been complaining of a violent pain in the head , which was brought on , she said , by her being suddenly informed , whilst on a sick bed ^ of the grea t fire at the Tower of London . On Sunday morning , the landlord of the house in which she lodged met her running down stairs pursued by her daughter , and , on his asking what ¦ was the matter , Mrs . Phillips threw her arms round his neck , and said , " I have taken poison . " He sent for a medical gentleman , and she "was conveyed to the hospital , but it was too late . The jury brought in a verdict of Temporary Insanity . —Mr . Samuel Holmes , of Upper Seymour-street , Somer 3-town , surgeon-dentist ,

On IViilay week , on her husband returning home , she said to Mm , " Frank , I have done it . " He said , " Done what ? " She replied , " Cut my throat with three knives , for I could not find one sharp enough . " There was no cause for her committing suicide , excopt her illness , and some depression of mind from his having l > een out of employment . A verdict of Temporary Insanity was returned .- —A suicide of a singular character was committed a fow days ago in the Devon county
gaol , Exeter . An old man , named William Aggett , had been committed to ta&e his trial on a charge of stealing timber . He had chorished hopes of acquittal , but , a ahort time ago , his son was committed to tho same gaol on a similar charge . This evidently preyed upon Aggett ' s mind , and one morning he was found suspended to a water pipe in his cell . He had only one arm , and this he had tied across his body with & handkerchief , and had also tied his logs together . Ho lad taken other precautions to carry out his purpose quietly , and had contrived to hang himself with -a . piece of tar rope winch was given liim to pick into oakum .

Cholera in Madeira . — -The committee for affording relief to the sufferers from the cholera at Madeira have been enabled , by permission of the Xords of the Admiralty , to forward to the island , in her Majesty ' s ship Hecate , stores of medicine and medical comforts sufficient to meet more immediate wants ; but , judging by the latest accounts , the epidemic was still pursuing a fatal course' in the country villages .
the title-page , but otherwise perfect and in good condition , and of importance , beyond its excessive rarity and curiosity , as completing the text of the only other know / j exemplar of this edition , also imperfect , which has for so many years been the chief and unique ornament of the Shakspeareaa collection of the Duke of Devonshire . This edition is a transcript of the play as originally written . —rimes . A Danger in the Heart of the City . —A teport from Dr . Letheby was read at a meeting , on Tuesday , cf the City Commission of Sewers . It had reference to some investigations which the writer had been ordered to make in connexion with some complaints from the Merchant Tailors' Company , who alleged that their scholars were annoyed by a constant escape of naphtha vapours from a warehouse in Suffolk-lane , Upper Thames-street . Dr . Letheby , having made an examination , reports that he has some doubt as to the vapours
being unwholesome ; but , he adds , " that which appears to me to be the most serious , and therefore the most important part of this case , is the storing of so inflammable a matter as wood naphtha in the very heart of the City ; for I can scarcely imagine a more frightful result than the ignition of something like one thousand gallons of this spirit ini the midst of warehouses crowded with all sorts of combustible matter . It is true that every precaution is taken by the owners of the property to guard against the occurrence of fire , but still an accident might happen from without , to say nothing of what may occur from , the carelessness of workmen within , as the smoking a pipe , or snujfing a candle , or treading on a lucifer match , and so setting the whole of it in a blaze . If such a disaster were to happen , the mischief of it would be enormous , for the burning naphtha would flow about like a river of fire , which nothing could extinguish . " The further consideration of the subject was handed over to the General Purposes Committee .
The New Bishops . —We have reason to believe that the Bishop of Ripon will , in all probability , be translated to the see of Durham , in succession to Dr . Maltby , whose resignation has been completed . We have likewise reason to anticipate that the Dean of Carlisle will be the new Bishop of London . —Globe . Attempt to Destbot a Theatre . —A dreadful catastrophe was narrowly avoided at the Liverpool Amphitheatre on the night of Friday week . A performance was being given for the benefit of Madame Celeste , and the house was crowded . About nine o ' clock there was a strong smell of gas , and the footlights suddenly went out . A gasman , on going to ascertain the cause , found a carpenter , who was occasionally employed at the
theatre , in the act of removing a . portion of the oneinch gas pipe which supplies the stage lights . The gas was instantly turned off at the metre , or the theatre would either have been involved in names or seriously damagecl by an explosion , the result of which must have been fatal to several persons . John Ball , the carpenter in question , had applied tie same evening for employment at the fheatre , but , as he appeared intoxicated , he was refused . Whether he was actuated by malice , or whether he merely wished to steal a piece of the piping , which contained a brass joint , did not transpire . Having been brought before the police magistrate on the following day , he was committed for trial .
Mails for Austhama . —The European and Australian Royal Mail Company being about to despatch four of their steam-vessels to Australia , to take up the regular service of the Australian mails , under their contract witli the Government , tho Poatmastcr-General intends to avail himself of tho departure of these steamers for the transmission of tho mails to Australia , instead of sending the mails by sailing packets , as provisionally arranged ; and a contract for this service has been made with the company .
