'no Bobbin .. lie — i 13—Fock- All the Central American states wore tranquil and free from revolution. The yellow fever had broken out with great violence at Rivas, Nicaragua, and tho supromo government remained at Grenada on that account. Several fatal aocidenta had ooeurred from lightning at Costa Rita. The Congress had abo lished the duty in that state on the exportation of coffee. Yellow fever was still prevailing at Islay, numbering 23 cases per day. Callao and Lima, on the other hand, had become almost entirely see. The total number of deaths to thiniaMargienea beat likailewre at 16,000 in from four to five months. Chili was tranquil and healthy, and business quiet, owing to the rainy season. The Chilian war steamer Chacabusco had arrived out at Val paraiso from the Thames. The barque Nueva Angelita, from Pisagua for Europo, with a cargo consisting principally of nitrate of soda, had foundered at sea in Ist. 33 S., long. 76 W.; but her crew were saved. The West India Islands, from Barbadoes to St. Thomas, continued dry ; and planters were begin ning to feel anxious about next year's crop. Yet, from the improving tillage and liberal use of arti ficial manures, the canes, although everywhere stunted, and in many districts yellow and wither ing, would soon recover were heavy rains to fall. There were very general complaints against the late increase of duty. In Antigua the steam ploughs were in active operation. In St. Kitt's and Nevis some excitement had been occasioned by a crude scheme proposed from home, and attempted to be enforced by Captain Mackenzie, the Lieutenant-Governor, to unite the legislatures and institutions of the two islands. Madame Paul Demidoffare Princesse Miet schereky, has died during her confinement at Heitzing, near Vienna, at the early age of twenty-one. Madame Demidof was remarkable for her beauty. Great preparations are being made for the August fete, in order to invite people to Paris from the provinces. Arrangements are also being made for con veying persons by excursion trains from England. The new boulevards and public places will be inaugurated on the day of the Emperor's flee, the 15th inst., which it is supposed will be honoured by the presence of his Majesty and the Empress. The Governor-General of India has appointed Mr. F. D. Chant/el] to act on the commission examining into the failure of the Bombay Bank. Mr. Chantrell is the second son of the Rev. Ferdinand Faithful], and con sequently brother of Miss Emily Faitldull, of the Vic toria Press. MR. bLtcwowrE's CONSECRATION.—In the pro poeal for obtaining a royal mandamus for the consecration of a rival to an undepoeed bishop, we only hear the knell of departing church establishments. If, in consequence of a legal condemnation of Dr. Cotense's pestilent heresies, the Duke of Buckingham were to recommend her Majesty to revoke that unworthy prelate's patent, we should rejoice. But as long as Dr. Colenso is legally Bishop of Natal, the consecration of a rival bishop is an act of violence to law, and an a ff ront to the church of England as by law esta blished.—Record. BREAK-DOWN OP A WEST INDIAN STEAMER.— The Upton, which arrived at Falmouth yesterday from &dim, reports having passed at midnight, in lat. 48 N, long. 9 W, the Atrato, bound to the West Indies, returning under canvas, and steering for the Lizard, with machi nery entirely disabled, but all well in other respects. The following, received from the Atrato, has been communi cated to the Admiralty by . the commander-in-chief at Devonport :—"Atrato's engines completely broken down —in want of assistance to return into port—West Indian and Australian mails on board and 90 passengers. I send this by a paamng steamer. Our position now (12 Saturday, Bth) lat. 48 N, long. 9W ; light southerly airs ; steering for the Lizard ; very slow progress." Her Majesty's ship Terrible bad been ordered to proceed immediately from Devonport to the assistance of the Atrato. The Oneida (s.) proceeded from Southampton yesterday evening to render any assistance the Atrato require. RECOVERY OF MORE BODIES FROM TICE OARS CcuziKay.—On Saturday two more bodies were recovered from the Oaks Colliery, both of which were identified. They were found in the vicinity of Jones's " jinny," and were recognised as Joseph Roebuck, aged 64, and his son Matthew Roebuck, aged about 18. The bodies, consider ing they had been in the place so long, were in a vary good state of preservation. They both had trousers and shoes on, and it is evident they were overtaken by the blast whilst at work. SETTLING WITH THE SPECIAL CONSTABLES.— Yesterday the magistrates of the Tower division held a special sessions to deal with the expenses of the special constables sworn in after the Clerkenwell outrage. The accounts varied from 10/. to 1601. The e pens will be paid out of the county rate.

A LONDON TOURIST DROWNED DT CORNWALL —According to the arnish Telegraph Mr. James Pearson, of 63, Sussex-street, Pimlico, London, an artist, and Mr. Henry Hobson Maund, of 8, Lime-terrace, Richmond road, Hackney, a clerk, were enjoying a holiday at the Lizard, and bathed every day. At 11 on Friday Mr. Pear son, who was a good swimmer, jumped from a rock on the left side of the Cove and swan to the shore. Mr. Maned, who could swim from six to a dozen yards, followed. Tere was a strong ebb tide, and when Mr. Pearson reached the beach by three or four strokes he looked round and saw his unfortunatefriend being washed away. Mr. Pearson at'once rushed to Mr. Maund's assistance, and attempted to catch him by the hair. The drowning man seized his friend's right arm, and thenhiahair. Nominate more he had him round the throat by both hands. Both sank six yards from the rock. Mr. Pearson now had a hard struggle for his own life, for he was being choked by his friend, and the water rushed down his throat. Disen gaging himself for an instant he again attempted his com panion's rescue, and tried to get hold of his back. Mr. Mound got over Mr. Pearson 's head and on to his back, when both sank. Mr. Pearson was well nigh insensible, but managed to reach the shore. Then Mr. William Burley, of 3, Adelaide-street. Strand, a carpenter, who was bathing, and who is not a good swimmer, tried to save the fast drowning man, but as soon as he caught hold of him both sank and were carried seaward. Mr. Burley could only save himself by thrusting Mr. Maund from him with his foot, and had just strength to swim ashore. Poor Mr. Mound attempted to float on his back, did so for a minute, and then sank, only four or five yards from shore. The body was rescued in about 20 minutes, and efforts to restore life were attempted j9r three...lpar", but unavail ingly. Mr. Maund was only 21. ANOTMER YACHTISO ACCIDENT.—As the cutter yacht Fantasy, the property of Mr. H. Fleming, was rounding Creden Head, near the mouth of Waterford har bour, she was struck by a heavy sea, and the captain, John Murphy, washed overboard and drowned. tore was • party of gentlemen on board at the time, including the owner, Mr. Fleming, and they saved themselves by cling ing to the masts and ropes. REMARKABLE SUICIDE.—The Surrey Standard gives au account of a singular suicide which has °warred in the perish of Preston. The deceased, Harriet Figg, was the wife of a gardener employed at Patchani. She appears to have fastened a cord to the top of a bedpost, then put her head through the noose, while kneeling on the bed ; and while in that position it would seem that she opened a large vein in her arm with • razor. Having done so, she shut the razor up, laid it on the ledge, and bec 'm ing weak from lets of blood, fainted, fell forward, and was strangled by the *lied. TENTH BIENNIAL. .. 1 :: i .. a 4 ran.

The Spy was decidedly firmer for the Ebor Handicap, 6 to 1 being several times taken about him, while his stable companion, Taraban, encountered marked hostility, declining to 100 to 7 (taken and offered) ; 6 to 1 was the highest offer. "bar one," and at a point above those odds both Fervacques and Tabouret would have been supported. 100 to 7 was several times taken about Mandrake, and after 100 to 6 had been offered against the Makeshift colt, without result, 200 to 11 was laid.

At the Chester Police-court on Saturday, before the mayor, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Smith, a poor woman named Sarah Jones appeared on a summons charging her with "stealing a quantity of wheat," the property of Mr. Roberta, farmer. . Mr. Chyrton, solicitor, appeared for complainant 7 who stated that on the 29th ult. be saw the prisoner picking up wheat at the bottom of a field from which they were "carrying" the crop. He sent a boy to her, but she did not go away. He went down to her himself and took from her a handful of wheat, and she went away. Mr. Johnson—Had the field been cleared? Roberta—Not quite. We were just finishing taking away the " Takings." Mr. Johnson—Was there any wheat except on the ground where she was P Roberts—No ; it had been raked *ere ; but I have had such a great deal of damage I want to make an example. Defendant—Mr. Roberts, didn't I tell you I was very sorry ? I thought there was no harm. Roberts—Yee, you did ; but I want to make an example of some one. The Mayor (to defendant)—What have you to say Defendant—Well, gentlemen, I didn't think I was doing any harm. I was going home, and I thought I would pick up a few ears to please the children. I told Mr. Roberta I wee very sorry, and gave him the corn when be said it wasn't allowed. lam very sorry. The Mayor, after consulting Mr. Smith and the clerk (Mr. Sharp)—You must go to gaol for seven days. (Great sensation ; Mr. Johnson, the magistrate, throwing up his hands and saying, 'I won't be a party to that. Seven da ys ! All the papers in the country will be down Upon us. The defendant turned very pale, and bursting into tears, said, " Seven days for that ! Don't send me to gaol from m y four poor children , and one sucking at the breast." The Clerk (to Mr. Johnson)—There is no other way of putting this sort of thing down. There are many com plaints. Mr. Churton said, while Mr. Roberta wished for some punishment, he did not ask for so much as that. After a further consultation between the magistrates, the Mayor said—You must pay a fine of ss. ed. damages, and costs (Bs.), or go to gaol for three days. The woman was then removed. and ultimately sent to gaol, as the money was not forthcoming. A WITCHCRAFT SERVICE.—The Sussex Advertiser tells a story of pretended witchcraft, which occurred at Cuckfield the other day :—A married woman, living in the town, bad for some months been confined to her bed, and her malady not being exactly understood by her friends, they were ;persuaded into a belief that it was the effect of witchcraft. A "cunning man" in the neighbour hood was thereupon consulted andlie promised his assistance". to expel the evil spirit. It was necessary that the charm must be worked with the greatest secrecy, and at a par ticular hour, which according to the book of necromancy of which he was possessed, be fixed to be at the midnight of the day preceding the Sabbath, and preparations were accordingly made—the planets being favourable. It was necessary to procure a certain quantity of new pins, that were secretly purchased, and a pair of tongs belonging to the house, which was also done; and with the greatest secrecy the party assembled to drive away the imp that the witch had placed over the woman. The magician having performed certain ceremonies and the pins having been placed in position, something seemed to have been burned, and in a commanding tone he made use of ejaculations and read a series of jargon that lasted a full hour ; but it could not be ascertained of what ser vice the tongs were in the ceremony—whether they were wed, as St. Dunstan was said to have used the legendary pair at Mayfield Priory, or for what species of conjura tion is unknown but to those in the sweet. However, as the eavesdroppers chose to divulge what they knew the charm is summed to have been broken, and the witch. instead of riding off up the chimney oa a broomstick, has still dominant 1 ower, the woman remaining in the same state as before.

With that view the dividend warrants had been as usual prepared. In regard to the unsettled claims, the questions in difference with Great Eastern Railway Company as to tickets and water supply had been submitted to the arbitrator, and the settlement of that matter now only awaited his award. An agreement (scheduled to the act) had been entered into between this com pa ny, the Great Eastern Railway Company, and the Millwall Canal Company for the im mediate construction ca so much of the Mil iwall Exten sion Line as would afford facilities for railway communi cation between the Blackwell Line and the Millwall Docks. The capital to be created or employed for this will be entitled to interest at the rates prescribed purpose will The Outlaw! said that there was really nothing in the report which called for any observations from him. The arbitrator had not given his award on the subject of the unsettled claims as yet. The portion of the line which they were bound to construct by the agreement with the Great Eastern and bfillwall Company was a mere junction of a few yards in length. Mr. Wiarrnut seconded the motion, which was adopted. A resolution for the payment of a dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum wise adopted. THE LATE BIRMINGHAM BANKING CaMP.,INY.

BRIGANDAGE IN nix PAPAL STATES.-A letter from Rome states that brigandage in Rome becomes more audacious. " Several families who were passing the sum mer at Fraacati, have returned to Rome under the influ ence of fright. A few days back a gentleman named Sentoveti, a landed proprietor in the neighbourhood, re turning in his carriage from one of his farms attended by a servant, perceived a brigand armed with a double barrelled carbine barring the way. The robber summoned the driver to stop, but the latter whipped his horse into a gallop, his master, however, re peeing a bullet in the shoulder. In the nit of the 3rd a far more serious crime was perpetrated. The keeper of the Villa Muti, situated at the entrance to Frascati, near the railway station, was returning home. Two men seized him by the throat while he was traversing a small wood, and demanded a sum of money which they said he bad received that day, at the same time threatening him, one with a poniard and the other with a gun. ' The money is in my house,' replied the keeper, ' when the night becomes darker you can come with me and I shall let on have the whole.' The brigands acted accordingly : led him, his hands tied behind his back, to the town ; on his arriving close to his house he called to his wife, who awoke from her sleep. Seeing from the window that her husband was bound and in the hands of two meu, she raised a cry for help, instead of throwing the money out to him t and at the same moment be made a dmparate attempt to break his bonds. But three stabi from a poniard extended the unfortunate man dead upon the ground. and the brigands thou made off." The Court of Cessation at Paris has just decided that when the husband and wife cannot sires upon the choice of • godmother for their child, the tribunals may eider th at the selection made by the father shall be acted ou even in cases in which =pared in a woos at taut° shall have been pronounced at the in =ince of the mother, and that the latter, charged by the judgment of separation with the custody of the child, may have proposed a% ft male sponsor her own mother, Ike ooly surviving grand ! sr( nt of the infant. ilAt . • mom Y.
