AN INSANE MAN'S FANCY.

HE IS COGNIZANT OF A CONSPIRACY TO

MURDER THE QUEEN, AND IMAGINES THAT HE IS FOLLOWED BY THE CON SPIRATORS.

At. SouthAvark, recently, a gentlemanly- I looking man named Frederick Augustus ' Austin, forty-years of age, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with wandering in Blackman - street, ap parently of unsound mind. The pris oner, who seemed to. have a superior education., entered the Court on Friday morning, and tendered a heavy roll of manuscript to Mr CJrquhart, the usher, wishing to make a, statuory declaration las to the truth of the contents. On a hasty perusal, it was evident that the prisoner was labouring under singular de lusions, consequently the documents were detained and the prisoner requested to attend the Court on Saturday. A. com munication was at the same time made with the detective department, 'Scotland - yard, and in the afternoon, Inspector Sayers attended and produced a* large numbepof documents received from the prisoner List year, setting forth that an alleged con spiracy existed to murder the Queen and Piiiice of Walas, and that ho was followed about by the conspirators, who tried to poison him. Mr Partridge, after glancing at the proposed declination, advised tlie ; p?»lice to look > after him, , and the prisoner was eventually given into custody. He was not placed in the dock, but allowed a seat in the Inspector's box, and Dr. Brown, one of the parish medical officers, who Avas in attendance, examined him, and considered that he .was of unsound niind. He (Dr. Brown), had read the declaration, which set forth that there was a conspiracy to murder the Queen and Prince of Wales, and that ho-knew of the parties. He also knew who committed the Coram-strcet and other mysterious murders, which had baffled the police, and he was being poisoned. He questioned the prisoner about all these allegations, and he" was unable to give any particulars or names. The prisoner hare said lie-was not in a position to give the n»nies. What he wanted was the police to take the matter in liand. As to the conspiracy to>murder the Queen, he petitioned the House of Lords and' the Home Secretary, and he believed those petitions were stolen. He assured his Worship that the contents of the, declaration were, true, and all lie wanted was that the author ities'should take the matter jn hand. Mr. Partridge told him that the declaration set ~ forth that he 'knew who committed the -Coram-street murder. How Avas it that he did not communicate Avith the police ? TheT prisoner replied that he did, and gave the ' names of several persons, but could not recollect who they Avere. He kneAV nothing about the murder, or who did it, but the " police could* find out. As for being of unsound mind, he should like his friend Dr * Mafley df^Peckham to be sent for. He knew all abont him. "Just before the close of the. Court,- Dr. Marley attended? and i said that it Avas ''twenty years ago when lie saw the prisoner first, and he saAV nothing more of him until a Aveek or two ago, when -he called on Avitness, rtnd complained of his landlady and- others, .who, he said, were', following him. He,Avas" very "much excited' and witness*gave him medicine." He had, no doubt that the prisoner.A\'as oL luisound mind. Mr. Partridge asked, if; ho; knew anything of the priap^c's .family or . connect ions. replied ..that * lie did •"Sot. He tol^Mm-^hat- his. 4ianio was UnderdoAvn, "andHvfieirhc was asked avlio SSvas to pay for the mediJafae he had supplied thini with, he said, '@& I'll Vrite to thy brother.' The prisoner here said that he would communicate with his family if his Worship would let him go, but.Jie declined to give any information regarding his antecedents* any more than that he had been It inlndia. Mr.^Partridge had no?doubt as. to his insanity, and ordered him to be removed to a lunatic asylum by the parish^ officers.— [".London Ncajs."3 &;* *

DREADE^L^HDISASTER.— EALL * OF MOORE'S OPERA HOUSE IN SA CRAMENTO.^SEVEN KILLED AND 150 WOUNDED.

Moore's Opera House, Sacramento, was the scenfl!*of a *most frightful accident, resulting in the death and injury of nearly 100 persons. The occasion was the opening night, tlic place having, been opened for the first time." The ?Peake family and 1 'Vaudeville troupe occupied the boards, the place ihaving been "'fitted up for them. It is over the large livery stable,,of J. W. Wilson, whiclrwas'converted into a theatre by seating, the floor With chairs, and erect ing "a hallway, and between the ceiling and the floor, a dress circle and boxes. The floor was selfrsupporting, b&ing without columns or pillars. When in- use as the State Armory, it supported*loo tons, and was considered safe. The dre^s circle and boxes were erected upon the floor. The place would seat 700 people. * An immense crowd filled the.hall while the .performance was in progress, wdeu simultaneously ihe entire floor fell, carrying down the stage*, dress circle and box. The walls stood un harmed, and the floor back of the hall being hold up, pitched the audicjice towar<iJfc | stage. AjU ligh|p were immediately exj ** tihgiiislicjtfe leaving^the struggling, shriek-* ing mass in darkness. The news spread, • creating the utmost consternation iff thdf city, heightened by the anxiety of friends as to the safety of persons'supposed to be in the fallen building. The fire alarm sounded, and the fire department, at once on the ' ground, took charge^n connection with the police, of the wreck. Hundreds, unhurt crawled from the fallen timbers, and at once the removal bf the debris-commenced. The list of killed numbered 7 and the wounded 150 of whom many were likely to die v>
