NITER had monarch a fairer opportunity for supplanting a rival than the Austrian EMPRROR had in his recent antagonism to Prussia and its King. FRANCIS JOSEPH had but to outbid the hesitating and ambiguous liberalism of Berlin by proposing at Frankfort a project of Reform or of Union which should be acceptable at least to the moderate liberals of Germany. Instead of this, what has Austria offered What scheme have the Princes of Germany and its people been summoned to listen to t A scheme illusive, unfair, impracticable, and of a nature to be received by the assembled Princes themselves as • political conundrum, by the people as a delu sion and a snare. The first portion of the scheme brought forward by Austria is that of the new Federal Executive. The German Government is proposed to consist of eleven members, three to be chosen by Austria, three by Prussia, three by Bavaria, and only two by the rest of Germany, with its varied interests and large population. The majority of this Executive Council is at once in the hands of Austria and Bavaria, two Courts closely united by policy and intermarriage, both Catholic, and both retrograde in many respects. Such a pro posal is nothing less than an insult to North Ger many, and, instead of depriving Prussia of its adherents, calculated to make all Germany rally to its aide. Wo had been already warned that the ideas of RECHBERO, and even of SCIIMERLING, were not sufficiently advanced to satisfy the saOrations of Germany ; and certainly the propositions of the EXPEAOR at Frankfort will not diminish that mistrust of Austria which prevails in the minds of the most farsighted German patriots. In adcFtion to a Federal Executive so un fairly put together, there is to be an Upper Chamber in which these Courts and their aristocracies may entrench themselves ; and this Upper Chamber is moreover to have the power to elect one-third of the members of the Lower or Representative Chamber. We admit that Austrian statesmen have some excuse for being conservative at home. The difficulty of re conciling so many nationalities and bringing them to harmonise in one assembly is so great that the attempt to solve the problem by giving an immense preponderance to the aristocracy can be understood. Moreover, the remote populations of the Austrian empire are centuries in strew, and want that middle class which tempers extravagant tendencies above and below it. But Germany contains quite a different kind of population, and quite a different field for the lees later. It is far too advanced to be governed by a Senate of Notables. It is far too sanguine and too agitated to allow a civic minority to be kept down and neutralized by a large aristocratic ma jority secured by unfair means. Austrian states men, by their EXPEROIIII proposal, have merely shown themselves as much behind German ideas as the Austrian Empire is behind Germany in political requirements, in social, intellectual, and political development. The step which Austria has taken should profit immensely to Prussia, if King Wita.rast and his Government were of a nature and in a condition to take advantage of it ; for the bare hint of such proposals must break up what is called the Great German party, and swell that of the National Union. What an opportunity for the King of Paustna himself to retrace his steps, and throw himself once more upon his people, if indeed the Prince of PRUSSIA had been called to Gastein by his royal father for such a purpose ! There is, we know, a conviction growing up in Germany that union and regeneration can only be achieved by shaking off, rather than accepting with alacrity either Austrian or Prussian supremely, and this conviction will gather streogth from the experiences of Frankfort. But however merited by these Powers, and however just such a conclusion, it still renders the hopes of rege neration more visionary, and commits their reali zation rather to revolutionary hazards and un foreseen events, than to that regular course of liberal action in which peaceable and sensible men may work together for the common good. Let us hope that German patriotism may yet have a larger future. The liberation and union of Italy was the work of a King. Why should not Germany follow the example of that Peninsula, so long unhappily associated with its history and its fortunes f But whatever might be hoped from one Prince could certainly not be ex• peeted from a Council of Princes, or Furxten Cou rts., such as that which has met at Frankfort. The four lesser Kings of Germany are all retro grade ; the Hesse' are little better. It would be idle to propose to a meeting of Princes any real reform of the Confederation, or establishment of unity, unless some one Sovereign would come for ward and speak less in his own name than as the representative of the n itional heart and will. It was long hoped that the King of Panama would have undertaken that part. A few indulged in hopes that the Emperor of AUSTRIA, awakened to a full sense of the crisis, would have assumed the part at Frankfort. He has not even ap proached it. " Put not your trust in princes" will be more than ever the watchword of Germany. The Sovereign Congress of Frankfort will not, however, be without result. The Grand Dukes of BADEN and of SAXE-COBURO will, it is hoped, have protested against the practicability of the Austrian proposals ; and the meeting of the Princes will be followed by one of popular delegates, who, had they been allowed to meet of themselves, might have made little impression, com pared with the weight they will now bear after the fiasco of the Princes. They will be in a manner called for. They will have a right to speak. And the public will auxiously wait to know whether the German people and their intellectual leaders have no better prescription for political stony than a gathering of privileged and hereditary State Doctors.

These pearls have all been taken out of the Strathmore River. One, for which the owner has been offered 301., is, I indeed, a " perfect pearl." There were no new additions to the royal dinner party on Friday evening. The Prince very kindly requested Peter Robertson, one of his royal high ness's gillies, to play • few tunes on the 'pipes during the evening. On Saturday the royal party drove by Clachin turn sad Lochnegar Distillery, on their way to Loch Mnick, upon a fishing excursion. The weather, however, having proved rough, and the rain falling very frequently, the enjoyment of the party was not such as it would have been had the day been fine.

ARGUe CAMPBELL, BART.—We have to record the death of Sir Angus Campbell, Bert., who died on the 13th inst., at Dunstaff nage Castle, Argyll. shire. The late baronet was the eldest son of Sir Donald Campbell, who obtained the baronetcy in 1836 for his civil sernots. He succeeded his father, who was Lieutenant. Oaveroor of Prism Edward's Island from 1847 to 1850, in the latter year. The late baronet entered the MET, and obtained the teak of lieutemat in 1849. He was unmet, tied, sod is saoceeded in the baronetcy and estates io Argyllshire by his next brother, Donald. The Campbells of this lase are descended from Colin, first Earl of Mull, and from him his descendant, bold the hereditary title of Cap tains the Royal Castle of Dunateffosge. TES PROPERTY AND TIT= or THZ LATE Si.. FREDERICK SLADE. EXPECTS° LEGAL FROCIRDEFOB. Legal proceedings, involving circumstances of a most roman tic character, are likely to arise out of a claim made by the brother of the late Sir Frederic Slade to the title and estate of the deceased baronet. It is alleged that, when Sir Frederic married Lady Slade, the latter was then the wife of an Austrian gentleman who died in 18.57, and not only so, but that when the Austrian alliance was formed, there was a previous marriage. We be lieve it is a fact that Sir Frederic, for obvious reasons, re pentad the marriage ceremony as often as children were bora to him. The defence will turn, we are told, upon the legality of the second marriage, which is held to be no mer rily' if the first husband lc,* thee living—it being con tended that the third one, if contracted after the first bus baad died, is thereby a strictly legal and binding engage ment. The case will probably come on for trial at an early date, and Lady Slade, of enures, will be the most prominent and important 106110114.

(nom otnt ows couzarotrDsrr.) PAWS, WILDNEDDAT ETINDIG. I find that the opinion of persons on whose judgment experience teaches me to rely is not in the least modified as to the necessity which, they say, must ultimately impel Napoleon 111. to support by arms the Polish cause. These persons—neces sarily belonging to the liberal party—bold that, at a given moment, the very existents, of imperialism will demand this concession to French public opinion. This Polish question is, as we all know, the only question which at once enlists the support of the clerical and of the liberal parties. The army will, as a matter of course, throw the vast weight of its influence into the scale ; and against these the compact, though numerically small, party representing the interests of commerce will be absolutely power less. Then, as to the question of the English alliance in the event of a war against Russia, these politicians at once sweep away all difficulties by say ing that if France leads, England must follow. They cite as an instance in support of these arguments the Crimean war, and think there is little doubt as to our submitting to be taken in tow by Napoleon 111. , when the time comes. As I believe this view of the Polish question is that of a very large section of French politicians, I have thought right to lay it I briefly before your readers. As the time for the assembling of the councils , general approaches, men begin to ask themselves whether the much vaunted and from on high re commended principle of decentralisation is really to find any application among these bodies, or whether all the fine promises made on the subject are to prove, as heretofore, vox et preferred nihil. I suspect very little progress is to be looked for on this score. The warning administered some time ago to the Sickle I take to have been intended as a hint that politics are to be avoided as well by presidents as by members of the councils. The question is one of paramount interest in France, inasmuch as in the conseils-generaue lingers all that remains to the country of the self-government principle so obnoxious to despotism. The &kit, mindful of the warning above alluded to, touches this question with the timidity of a burnt child handling hot water. After defining the objects specially con fided to the conceits-gbwraux, it says : In other theca these bodes thought fit to interpret these rights in the broadest sense. At the present day we do not advise them to propose motions applying to matters which they may regard as being beyond their sphere of action. They must themselves judge what is fitting to do on this point. The Emperor's letter on the subject having been mentioned, the suggestion is thrown out that councils-general may well, without departing from the spirit of that letter, busy themselves with the great question of administrative reform. The writer of the article, M. Lion Phie, then ventures upon a side blow at one of the moot crying abuses of the present system, the nomination of mayors by the government. He says : Perhaps some members may think the edministrative reform " provoked^ by the Emperor should be based upon the free election of mayors by the universal suffrage of the communes. How, indeed, can the commune ever be admi nistratively emancipated, so long u the persons called upon to preside over its interests are selected without this sphere of the municipal councils? It is generally thought that the meeting of the Chambers will take place early in November. The Prance names the 6th as the appointed day. The "verification of powers" will occupy a month or six weeks, till after which the address cannot be I discussed. It is expected that the " verification " will give rise to some curious disclosures, while the discussion on the address cannot fail to open an ample field for the powerful oratory of the now important majority. The war journals seize with avidity upon the statements which recently appeared in the columns of the Times relative to the naval preparations of Russia. M. Dubois de Saligny is chosen as the scapegoat in the matter of the Mexican spoliation ordonnance. His speedy arrival in Paris is mentioned, and the Patric adds to the intelligence that " there are very strong reasons for believing that this diplomatist will not return to Mexico." It is probable, however, that his career will not suffer by the excess of his zeal, which has been the means of bringing into relief the " moderation " of his imperial master. We shall doubtless shortly hear of the ex-minister to Mexico being "called to other functions," as the phrase runs. Letters from Turin speak of a probable mo dification in the Italian ministry. The re turn of the patriot Ricasoli to the head of affairs is mentioned, and, as a necessary consequence of that event, the recall of M. Nigra from Paris. The Marquis Torrearsa is talked of as his successor at the court of the Tuileries. The Bourse opened with a general upward ten dency. Confidence in the maintenance of peace appears to be the order of the day. French Reutea rose 200. both for cash and the account, leaving off at 67fr. 85c. for both. Mobilier rose 17fr. 50c. for cash, and 16fr. 25c. for the account. Italian was firm, improving 20c. for cash and sc. for the account, its closing price being 72fr. 70c. and 72fr. 75c. respectively. ITALY. (MOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDRNT.) TURIN, AuGorr 16. The difficulty of obtaining steady and reliable officials in Southern Italy continues to be very great. The Bourbons had none, and the present government has but few. It is owing to this cir cumstance that assassins who have been arrested with much trouble and danger often escape from the prisons. Yeeterday we received intelligence that the inmates of the gaol at Civitella had also escaped. The Minister of the Interior immediately sent the Commendatore &Gehl to the prison, with full authority to act promptly and energetically. Professor Matteucci, who was formerly Minister of Public Instruction, and the deputies Poetic. and Malawi, have opened a subscription for a testimo nisi of grateful esteem to Sir James Hudson. Even when English policy was not favourable to the wishes and the welfare of Italy, Sir James displayed so much considerate courtesy and tact in his relations with the Italian Government that friendly manner almost atoned for hostile matter. More over, Sir James Hudson so completely shared the grief of the country at the death of Count Cavour, that he was considered a true Italian, and not a foreigner, from that moment. Last week Signor Quintino Sella, the ex-Minister of Finance ; Baron Baracco, the Celabrian deputy ; Count de St. Robert, formerly an artil lery colonel and professor of mathematic., and his brother, a captain in the army, ascended the highest peak of Monte Viso, which had never be fete been reached by Italians, but which two Eng lishmen had previously ascended without any scientific object, though at considerable peril. An account of this ascent will shortly be published. Reesn's "Life of Jesus" forma the subject ROMAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS AT MALINES. On Tuesday a general assembly of Roman catholics was opened at Maine!, in Belgium. Amongst those present were Mgr. Ledochoweki, the Papal nuncio, Cardinal Wiseman, many other English Roman catholic prelates, the Roman catholic Bishop of Adelaide, the Archbishop of Jeru salem, Ac. The assembly was opened, after a solemn high masa celebrated in the metropolitan church of St. Rambaut, by an address from Mgr. Sterckx, Cardinal Archbishop of Malines, who said that as the object of the meeting was to do service to the church, they should above all things aim at practical conclusions and useful measures. All proper opinions might be enunciated, all measures calculated to do good might be proposed, and all might be discussed, defended, and opposed with the greatest freedom. M. de Gerlaehe, the Presi dent of the Congress, then addressed the assembly. Yesterday evening M. Ad. Dechamps, deputy, made a speech on the triple objects of the Congress. Psi de Montalembert will this day develope and explain the famous formula of " a free church in a free State." Three Polish priests will discourse on the position of Roman catho lies in Poland, and Count A. Foucber de Carta will speak on the union of peoples and the persistence of the feeling of national independ ence. On Friday K Schollaert, M. de Monta lambert, and Cardinal Wiseman will address the Congress—the latter on the religious and civil posi tion of Roman catholics in England. On Saturday the Rev. Father Dechamps, Cardinal Wiseman, and the Abbe Mermilliard, of Geneva,will preach in the church of St. Rambaut. (asurza's =mums.) DECREE AGAINST THE BISHOPS' LETTERS. PARIS, ALIGUST 20. An imperial decree has been published to-day condemnatory of the bishops' letters on the subject of the elections, and declaring them an abuse of ecclesiastical authority. The preamble of the decree states that it is based upon the articles of the concord►t and the papal bull of December, 1801, the apostolic decree of 1802, and the declaration of 1682, esta blishing as a fundamental maxim of French public law that the chief of the church and the church itself have control solely over spiritual and not over temporal and civil affairs. The last basis quoted in the decree states that the bishops and archbishops are not empowered to deliberate toge ther or pass common resolutions without the special permission of the government.

The following is the speech which the Emperor of Austria made at the opening of the Congress of Princes at Frankfort : Mast illustrious and beloved brothers and cousins, most valued oonfederates,—An assembly of the heads of the German nation, for the purpose of deliberating on the wel fare of the Fatherland, is an event which has not occurred for centuries. May we, by the blessing of an Almighty Pro vidence, be on the eve of • happy future. Confiding in the elevated sentiments of my fellow princes, confiding in the just spirit of the German people, who have been enlightened by experience, I have sought to being about a meeting at which the German princes should M a fraternal spirit unite their heads for the strengthening (Betestigung) of the confederation. I have deemed it my duty openly to express my conviction that Germany justly (wit Reda) looks forward to a development of Its constitu tion ( Verfassung), which shall be in accordance with the necessities of the times, and I have come in person to ex change ideas and opinions with my coofederatse, and to state what T consider feasible, and what I, for my part, sin ready to grant. Your Majesties, Randall of you, my illustrious and be loved confederates, accept my thanks for your kindness in consenting to act with me. I have forwarded to my illustrious federal allies the '1 draught of a project of reform, which was drawn up under my immediate superintendence. Being of opinion that the sphere of action of the Band should be enlarged, I, in my plan of reform, propose that the executive power shall be placed in the hands of • direc tory, which shall have a federal council at its side. We require the periodical meeting of an assembly of deputies, which shall have full power to participate in the legislation and in the control of the finances of the Bond. I propose that there shall be periodical meetings of the German princes. By the Introduction of an independent federal court a satidactory guarantee is given for the proper ad ministration of justice in Germany. In all these matters the principle of the equality of the several independent States will, as strictly as is possible, be upheld. At the swine time, due regard must be paid to their political in fluence and to the number of their inhabitants, in order that an effective executive power and a general repreeen balm in the Bund may be inseparably united. All details are based on one single idea--an ides that has taken complete possession of my mind. It is, that the time has come for renewing, in • way which shall be in wooed aims with the spirit of the times, the Build which our ances tors entered into. By allowing our peoples to participate in the Bond, we shall give new vigour to it, and enable it to uphold to the end of time (his in die *palates Tage) the honour, power, security, and welfare of Germany as one great and inseparable whole. Doubtless my proposition will admit of improvement. I readily admit that such is the case. But I beg my con- federates to take into consideration whether it is not our common interest not to postpone, even for • time, the ac ceptance of • plea which, as it now stands, is a great im provement en the present state of things in Germany. In the proposed Act of Reform (Reforms-twee) the necessary means for repairing its defects in a constitutional way are pointed out. I see no prospect of finding a firm bads in the question relative to the future of Germany by means of prolonged deliberations. The question must be settled by the prompt, unanimous, and disinterested resolves of the German princes, who, is matters of inferior moment, must magnanimously make sacrifices for the attainment of the great object which they have in view. Most illustrious and beloved brothers sod cousins, nr.st valued confederates,—As you all share with me the "exalting" (erhebend) impression of the present moment, so must you participate in the deep regret which I feel that Prussia is not represented here. One of my most heartfelt wishes has not been fulfilled. I was not so happy ea to be able to persuade King William L of Prussia to participate in person in our " work of union " (Rinigungs-werke); but, nevertheless, I have not lost the conviction that the resulted this day will be salutary. The King of Prussia fully appreciated my arguments concerning the urgent necessity for a reform of the Band. King William had no other objection to make to my proposition to hold a Congress of Princes than that the necessary pre parations for such an important step had not been made. Is principle. the King was not opposed to an assembly of princes, but he was of opinion that a conference of minis ter might to precede it. I called his Majesty's attention to the fact that all former negotiations by means of second persons(Mittetsperaoseis) had been fruitless, and that it was for us to reform the Band, and that we firmly resolved that "the German cation should no looger be deprived of the means of enjoying greater (Ashen) political development." Let us pass quickly over mere matters of detail for the sake of the incalculably more important whole. In good federal faith let us preserve for the mighty (kingdom oft Prussia the place to which she is entitled, and let us hope that our unity will produce an indelible impression on all German hearts. In as far as I am personally concerned, my illustriona confederates and friends, I shall always feel satiated to have done all in my power to draw eloser the ties which unite all the German peoples. and to make the Band, ea one great power (Gesantmtauscht) a boon (licit) for Germany and • guarantee for the peace of Europe. The Emperor of Austria delivered (read) his speech in such an impressive manner that his bearers could not doubt that he deeply felt the necessity for • reform of the Bond. When bis Majesty had done speaking there was a murmur or rather "hum" of approval, which was continued until the King of Bavaria rose to reply to his fellow•sovereign. The King of Bavaria said : The assembled Primes will take the propositions made by your Majesty lot° conscientious consideration, and it is probable that some modification of them may be deemed desirable, although we are as desirous as yourself that the important questions now at issue may be brought to • speedy and happy end. We share the regret of your Ma jesty that the King of Prussia, our dear federal ally, is absent, but we cherish a hope that at our next meeting for the despatch of business that powerful link in the great chain which commute the different German States will sot be wanting.

Carter, V.O comer for Surrey, held an inquest on Monday at the Rose end Crown, Kew, on the body of Mr. Edward Thomas Embleten, who was unfortunately drowned while steering a pair.oered gig. manned by his brother and • Mr. Raymeut (members of the West London Rowing Club). at the Kew Regatta. on Saturday. Evidence having been given as to the Boding of the body and its conveyance to the Rose and Crown. Mr. Henry Embleton wu called, and having iden tified the body as that of hie brother, said that on Saturday last he and Mr. Rayinent started for the pair -oared outrigeed gig nee, steered by his brother, at the Kew Regatta. The water was exceedingly rough, and they had not proceeded far when the opposing boat forded them, upon which the umpire started them afresh, and they bad sot gone above another 100 yards when the boat filled with water and went down. He told his brother, who could not swim, to jump clear of the boat, to avoid b eing struck down with ber. and M would try to save him. This he did, and held him up for some time, but unfortunately be was separated from him, and his brother was drowned. He attributed his death solely to the fact of the boat sinking. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." THE JUNGFRAU CONQUERED BT 4N ENGLISH LIDY. The following interesting letter, signed "W. E. Utterson," and dated "Sion, August 17," appears in the Tina :—" It may be interesting to some of your readers to learn that the ' Queer of the Benicia Alps,' considered by the natives of the country one of the most difficult ascents is Switzerland, has, by the intrepidity of Mrs. Stephen Wink worth, been lately proved accessible to woman u well u to man. Lest Thursday, about 12.55 p.m., Mts. Winkworth, accompanied by her husband, myself, and the following three guides—J. Beres, CA Lex ; J. Baptiste Cron, of Chamounix ; and Fritz, of the Eggisc.horn, started from the Hotel de l e Janina to sleep at the Faulberg, where there is a cave with two separate recesses, m some of the large rocks which overhang the great Aletech glacier. This trysting place we reached at 5 oclock the same day and left again by candle light at L 25 the following morning. I may here mention a very simple expedient adopted uy the guides in lieu of tee. terns. Having knocked the bottoms out of three ordinary Irina ' bottles, they inserted • candle into each one, fixing them into the necks of the bottles, by these means the flame of • candle may be effectually protec.ed against the wind. We were safely piloted by Beau over the crevasses and broken ice which lay in our way for about an hour after starting. The ascent of the Aletsch glacier is very gradual, and somewhat tedious for • considerable du. tenet) above the Fanlberg, but as the snow was generally in a very good state, we were enabled to reach the top of the steep toe slope leading to the Col du Soththal at about 5.50. Here we breakfasted, and deposited oar impedimenta in the form of remaining provisions, hr.,n pon the snow, in order to leave our guides as uoiocombered as possible for the latter part of the asceA. At 7.10 we com menced to climb the last ice slope, which. although not yet entirely denuded of show, is rapidly becoming so, and every week this dry season continues would render the purge of it more difficult and dangerous. The step cutting was excellent, Benen and Fritz being generally in advance. This last ice slope culminates in a short and very narrow ridge of soft snow, which until trampled down had little more than the breadth of the human foot. Along this mite Yes. Winkworth walked upright with the aseistance of the guides. The rest of es did the same in turn. The little black flag was still gal. lantly holding its own at the summit. That it could eon. tinue to do so long, however, appeared to us very doubtful. On comparing oar watches we found our ascent bad taken us seven hours ad • half, including 35 minutes occupied in breakfasting—sot bad walking for a lady. The weather, which about daybreak had presented a rather threatening aspect, in the form of large clouds, was now, about 9 •m., very fine, although unfavourable to a very distant view. From no other point have I seen the Finsteraarborn appear to the same advantage u from the top of the Jungfmu. In place of the ppx narrow-looking peak, eclipsed by the Manch, f ir,okhoen and others, seen from the rnese side of the Alps, we bad before us a commanding mountain of majestic proportions, evidently the grandest of the chain. After looking around for • few minutes upon vast muses of spotless snow, black and barren rock, destitute of ani mal existence, the eye was glad to drop its regard into the green valleys of the Oberland, on the smiling village of 17nterseen, and the lovely lake of Than. But the summit of the Jangf ran is by no moms a comfortable resting-plats, so after 10 minutes spent there we again roped, and with Fritz is advance and Semen behind, the latter ever on the qui rive as to our movements, and exclaiming from tints to time ' doss Ist yanz guf,' we effected oar descent to the bottom of the elope in about an hour and • quarter. Not withstanding the difficulty and danger of this pert of the day's work, Mrs. Winkworth, who, as I understand, had slightly sprained her knee two days before on the diets. chorm, demanded hardly more assistance from the guides than many men, SI little accustomed to ice-work as herself, might have been excused for doing. We found the snow already in a very soft state on oar descent from the Roth the] ; but we got down without mishap, puled the Feld berg at 210, and returned to the Euischorn at 610, having been out about 17 hours." ANC/lIIER FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.—The Heather. bell, • yacht of about 25 tone, is at the present time Iviag at Gourook Bay.

It fell to Burnett to relieve Mooney at eight o'clock on Sunday (freeing, as Mooney had to go to Greenock to see • child of his which ie un well. On Mooney coming ashore in the small boat betwixt eight and nine o'clock on Sunday evening, Barnett proceeded on board, taking his wife with him, and they prevailed on Mooney to go out with them to the yacht and pass an hoar or two before going borne. The three went on board of the yacht. and about 11.30, it being then very dark, with • curl in the bay, the three went into the =AM boat to proceed to the shore to land Mooney. Burnett and his wife were seated io the small boat, and Mooney, who was standing in it, proceeded to unloose the painter, and having done so, he caught the yacht and give the boat an im pulse so PA to get away from the yacht shorewards. This had the effect of capsizing the boat, which thus went from under them, and all three were thrown into the water. Mooney got bold of Mrs. Burnett, and kept her up for • little, but getting exhausted. he was obliged to let her go. She was then caught hold of by her husband ; and in the meantime Mooney struck oat, and in a very ex hausted condition was picked up clinging to the buoy of the yacht Harriet, which was at anchor not far off. The swamped boat was also picked up by men from the Harriet. but Burnett and his wife were seen no more, and Mooney's supposition is that they sank in each other's arms, the hue. teed perishing in trying to save his wife. The *creams of the drowning couple were heard by people along the shore, and the fatal event was soon known in Goarock. The bodies have not been found.—North British Mail. A MAN POISONED BY EATING MUSSELS—The inhabitants of the quiet little village of S. Saropeons, other- wise Golant, were startled on Sunday evening by • report that a man had accidentally poisoned himself. There are Many navvies at present working at or near the place on the Lostwithiel and Fowey railroad, and one of them, whose Dame is unknown for the moment, after sting heartily of musels for his tea, having consumed, it is a quart immediately after they were cooked, retired to bd at his lodgings. He soon after came down stairs and said he should take a walk, u he felt poorly. On returning shortly after he complained that he was poisoned, and that he should die. A messenger at once proceeded to the house of Mr. E. S. White, surgeon, Fowey, who forthwith rode to Golant, but the poor man was deed before his arrival, having died in leas than an hour after being taken ill. There is • vest bed of mussels in the Fowey river, on the banks of which Golant is situate, and scores of people partake of them at this season of the year with impunity. A few cases of poisoning have ere now oc curred here, but without any permanent bad effects result. big. Scientific men are not agreed upon the cause to which these deleterious effects are to be am:gibed, but they are generally attnbuted to a peculiar poison generated in the flab, under unknown circumstances. In the present ease • port mortnn examination will take place.— Western Morning News. SAD ACCIDENT ON A LAKE. —The Lausanne Gazette gives an account of a deplorable accident which oc- curred last week on the Lake of Biennia near the village of Vigoeule. A young man of the village, named Gutmann. who had been for some time in service as butler in England. came over to stay a month with his mother and sister. On the day before his proposed departure for England, he in vited eleven young men and women to join him in a party of pleasure to the Isle of Si. Pierre, in the lake. They crossed over in a boat, and. after amusing themselves till evening, again embarked to return home. When about midway to the shore, the boat, owing to her seams baying been opened by the intense beat of the sun, began to leak, and the water entered rather rapidly. le their alarm the young women all rose at once, and by so doing meet the frail craft. The cries of distress ware heard on shore, and a boat was put off to their assistance. Sin persons were rescued, but the other sin, among whom was Outman, were drowned, and their bodies were not recovered till the following der. A. RAILWAY TILAIN ON FIE& —As a railway train conveying both passengers and goods was three days ago proceeding from Rheims to Leon (Aisne), one of the goods waggons caught fire. twobehlY from a spark from the engine falling on the tar paulin, mod two others were also soon in flames. The pessengers in some of the esrrisres were the first to perceive the disaster, and putting their heads out of the windows they cried loudly to the eoglne-driver to stop. Their voices were not at first heard, sod by the time the train was stopped the flames had made rapid progress, and the log gage van which stood between the burning waggons and the passenger carriages hail caught. The guard of the train unfastened the van from the carriages, and ordering the engioeolriver to go on, the passengers were speedily out of danger. Ooe gentleman iu his alarm bad jumped out before the train had completely stopped. and fell with vio lence on the ground, but fortunately escaped with only some bruises. The burning waggons were afterwards iso lated, but all attempts to save them from destruction were unavailing for want of water. Otte of them was tilled with hags of sugar, another with wool, and a third with cotton. The loss is coosiderable.—Calignani.
