DESPERATE FIGHT BETWEEN A RAT AND A RABBIT.—O n Monday even in g Mr. Parfre y , of Cluttori. w ho is an amateur breeder of rabbits, was sitting down in his house, w h en he heard an unusual noise. He imme diately up a nd went to the spot where the sound pro ceeded fr om , an d saw a desp erate battle fought in the rah. bit cub b e t ween one of his rabbits and a large-sized rat. He Watched the combatants for a few moments with great in terest, and saw the rabbit catch hold of the rat by the back o f its neck, turn it upside down, and then with its fore .Pa ws rip up its antagonist , and nearly sever its head from t he body, Th e rabbit,however, did not escape with a whole skin, for, after the fight, it vws di4covered that it had re ceived several bites about the breast and head, but not of a ere character. As the rat wa s being removed it was found to have been one of the largest barn rats ever seen in the neighbourhood. The rabbit was a fu;ly grown one, wit h young ones. —Brid g etc ater Mercury.

It is with sincere regret that we have to an nounce the approaching resignation of Mr. Butler- Johnstone as the representative of Canterbury in Parliament, and our regret at losing so good a member is heightened by the cause which makes the step necessary on his part. The state of Mrs. Butler-Johnstone's health is so unsatisfactory, that she has been ordered abroad by her medical advisers for an unlimited period, and our respected represen tative, naturally anxious to accompany her, with a promptitude which does him every honour, came to the conclusion that he had no right to leave his post, at the commencement of what may prove an important session, and carry abroad with him the representation of Canterbury in his pocket; conse quently, the beads of the Conservative party were, by his desire, called together on Tuesday evening last, and Mr. Butler. Johnstone paid a flying visit to Canterbury for the purpore of meeting them, and placing his resignation in their hands. We are not at liberty to state all that took place at the meeting, as it was of a private character; but we may announce that Mr. Butler-Jolanstoneits resignation was with great reluctance accepted, and that the most heartfelt sympathy was expressed towards the trying circumstances which rendered that resignation imperatively necessary. We may announce further that his son, Mr. Henry Butler- Johnstone, was proposed as the most fitting person in every way to supply his. father's place. Mr. Butler-Johnstone left this city early on Wednesday morning, and immediately on his arrival in town he applied to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. The new writ will in all probability be issued in the course of a few days, and the election will take place in about three weeks from the present time.—.Kentish bserver. The Lord Mayor, shortly after taking his seat upon the bench" at the Mansion-house, yesterday, said he should like to say a few words with regard to the Hartley Colliery fund. He had been waited upon that morning by the Governor of the Society of Licensed Victuallers, accompanied by the secre tary of that society, and they brought him a cheque for the amount of a collection which had been going on for the last 29 days. The amount of the cheque was £Bl3. There must have been a considerable amount of devotion to the cause in hand- to have accumulated so large an amount in such small sums. It showed how people would devote themselves to charity, and he could not help making that public acknowledg. meat of the benevolence which the public had shown on this occasion. He thought it right, however, to say that he considered that the fund for the assistance of the wives and orphans of those who lost their lives at the Hartley Colliery had arrived at such a state that it was hardly necessary for him to stimulate public charity any further. He had said something about it a few weeks ago, and at that time the money was flowing in at the rate of £1,300 daily ; since that the subscriptions had not ceased, but as much a, £2OO were received in a day. He had seen an ad vertisement in a•newspaper of the committee, of which the Mayor of Newcastle was president, by which it appeared that, as the amount already subs scribed exceeds the necessity of the case, they pro posed to create a fund, to be applied to exigencies of a similar character which might occur in future in Northumberland or Durham. The amount re ceived at the Mansion-house alone was within a trifle of £20,000, and that was the amount which was stated, after due consideration by persons who were competent to judge, as the probable amount that would be required to meet the exigencies of the case. The probability now was that three times as much had already been contributed. He hoped that the public would now feel that enough had been done ; but if subscriptions continued to be sent in, he would be happy to receive them for the pur pose of devoting them in another direction. namely, the accident at Merthyr Tydvil, by which 48 lives were lost ; and if there should be any more collec tions now going on which had been intended for the Hartley fund, he would feel much obliged if, when they were forwarded to him, he would he authorised to apply it for the relief of the sufferers by the accident at Merthyr Tydvil. SUICIDE OF A MEDICAL STUDENT. On Wednesday afternoon an inquiry was con ducted before Mr. John Humphreys, one of the coroners for Middlesex, in the drawing-room of Dr. Bletchley, of No. 7, Tabernacle-walk, City - road, into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Frank Taylor, aged 21 years, a medical student. Mr. John Taylor, a gentleman living at Paradise house, Oxford, the father of the deceased, said he had not seen the deceased since Christmas last, when he spent a few days at home. One of his family received a letter from the deceased on Thursday. It was written in a very incoherent manner, one portion being in black-lead pencil, and the other in ink. He knew nothing as to the cause of deceased's death. Mrs. Elizabeth Bletchley said, the deceased was a pupil of her husband, that she last saw him alive on Sunday night,about half- past 8 oclock, when he came home, and shortly afterwards went into his room and locked himself in. Mary Abbott, a domestic servant, was examined, and said that she knocked at the door two or three times on Monday morning, but could not get an answer. She then called her master. Dr. Bletchley said that upon finding the door fastened he cut away the side of the woodwork, and made a forcible entry into the apartment. He discovered the deceased lying on the bed in a composed state, and the bed-clothes covered over him. He searched the room, and found a bottle in the wash-hand basin, which contained a small portion of prussic acid. The witness then searched the deceased's pockets, and found two letters. One was directed to Mrs. Bletchley, and the other to a young lady who resided in the country. The letters were in the deceased's handwriting, and had been written shortly before his death. One of the letters ran as followe :--" My dear Mrs. Bletchiey,—When you receive this I shall be no more. I have poisono myself with six drachms of prussic acid, which I obtained from the shop. May the Lord have mercy ori'me, and pardon me for my sins ! Let my poor girl ‘Lotty' know this as soon as possible, and send her the letter as directe.si. Send to my friends by the tele i graph. I am sorryt should have occurred in your house, but I could not bear up against my troubles any longer.—FßANK TAYLOR." The deceased left a number of trinkets, books, and other articles to various persons, and gave his gold watch to the young lady mentioned above, to whom he had addressed a long and affectionate letter, which filled four folios of foolscap paper, Mr. Bletchley said, in answer to the coroner, that the deceased had lately, whoa he came from the hos pital, been in very low spirits, which was attributed to his non-success at his late examination. Mr. Graham Bennett, a medical student, of 8, Finsbury circus, was then called, and said that he knew the deceased intimately, He . had heard him express a fear that he would not pass his examination. He believed that the dread of failure had affected his mind. Mr. Taylor, the father, said, in answer to the coroner, that the deceased did not like his pro fession, and had expressed a desire to go to sea. After some further evidence had been heard, the jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1862. It A Nottingham S Derby Spring 6 Liverpool S ll Doncaster RCH.

The polling for Wakt field took place yesterday. The voting was brisk in the morning, and promised to be in favour of Mr. Smethurst, the Liberal can didate ; but from midday the Conservative candi date, Sir John Hay, steadily gained on his oppo nent, and at 4 o'clock the Conservative Committee issued the following statement : Hay Smethurst The Liberal statement was — Smethurst Hay • • . , 455 426 . 429 . 450 Sir J. Hay addressed his friends from the balcony of the Strafford Arms, thanking them for the mag nificent victory they had achieved ; and his short speech was followed by others from Mr. J. Barff, Major Edwards, M.P., Mr. T. M. Carter, and Mr. Serle.—Mr. Smethurst also addressed his suppor ters from the balcony at the Royal Hotel, observing that, though they had been defeated, the defeat had not been dishonourable.—Mr. Leathern, M.P., and other gentlemen also spoke, and the assembly were requested quietly to disperse.—The town is quiet, there being nothing be 3 and the customary celebra tions, The declaration will be made this morning. OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL, Hay Smethurst Majority THE LONGFORD ELECTION. Major O'Reilly, who has come forward to contest the representation of the county of Longford with Col. White, recently appointed to the post of Irish Lord of the Treasury, has issued the following cha racteristic address to the constituency :—" Men of Longford,—A Government hostile to your religion - - —to its venerable head, and to its dearest interests at home—has dared to ask you to sanction their anti-Catholic policy, of which the Chief Secretary for Ireland is the exponent. Hoping to take you unawares, they have directed your late member to present himself to you for re-election, in the quality of their official. As might be expected, you have refused to indorse their act with your approval ; you have invited me to vindicate the independence and dignity of your county, and I hasten to obey the honourable call. Should Ibe elected, my con duct shall prove your noble confidence has not been misplaced. I shall oppose in Parliament, as I have done elsewhere, the system of sacrilegious invasion and robbery pursued by Piedmont, which has re ceived the support of English Ministers. My opi nions on education are well known. Education, to be valuable, must be religious. The clear right, therefore, and the most urgent want of the Irish Catholics, is free Catholic education, the radical re form of the national system, and the recognition of our university. On other questions, as on these, which the reckless challenge of the Chief Secretary to the Catholic clergy and people of Ireland has made of paramount importance, I believe my opi nions will be found to coincide with yours. I shall advocate trpe freeing of the Catholics of Ireland from the monster grievance of an alien church establishment ; such a change of the laws regarding land as, by promoting per manency of tenure, will encourage the judicious outlay of the tenant's capital and industry, and ensure him an adequate return, a large extension of the suffrage, and the protection of the voter in its exercise by the ballot; a reform of the poor law in a spirit congenial with the dictates of Christian charity, and the habits and wants of our country men ; a reform of the grand jury laws, which would make those share the payment who impose the tax. Seeking no favour of any, I shall hold myself inde pendent of every Government. My votes shall be influenced solely by the interests of my constituents, of our country, and of our religion.—l have, &c., MYLES W. O'REILLY." The major arrived in Dub lin on Tuesday evening from Brussels. The Conservative press in Ireland, without a single exception, have adopted Colonel White's cause. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Limited supplies of homegrown wheat were received fresh up to this morning's market. Generally speaking the demand ruled inactive, nevertheless all good and fine qualities supported Monday's currency. In foreign wheat, the supply of which was moderate, about an average business was transacted, and prices were fairly maintained. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. Good and fine barley moved off steadily, at full currencies, but inferior qualities were in slow request, on former terms In malt a very moderate business was transacted, at pre• vious rates. Oats met an inactive market, yet no quotable change took place in their value. Beans and peas were in moderate demand, at Monday's quotations. For most kinds of flour the demand ruled inactive, at previous rates. ARRIVALS THIS WELL Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. 820 1 810 1 2,810 ' 1,170 570 sacks I 880 ' 50 4,260 , ,11,930 1 Irish..

(Before the L - Irds Justices sitting in Lunacy.) IN RE W. F. WINDHAM, In this case Mr. W. F. Windham, the alleged lunatic, had presented a petition praying the Court to reverse its former orders in November last, and to order and direct the costs, charges, and expenses of the petitioner in defending himself under the late commission de lunatico inquircndo, amounting, it is stated, to upwards of £15,000, and which resulted, after a protracted trial of 32 days, in the jury returning a verdict that Mr. Windham was of sound mind, and capable of managing his estate and affairs, to be paid and borne by Major-General Windham, Lord Alfred Hervey, and others, or some or one of them, upon whose petition the commission issued. The petition was slt down for hearing on Friday last, and adjourned to this day. Mr. Rowcliffe, on the part of the petitioner, asked that the petition should be allowed to stand over till Friday next, to give time to answer certain affidavits. Mr. Brown, on the other side, offered no objection. The Court ordered the petition to stand over accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. ORDERS OF COURT. - -CASES IN FORMA FAUFERIS. The Lord Chancellor and Commissioners Fonblanque and Holroyd have issued a general order tinder the new AU, with respect to petiloners in forma pauperis :- 1. Every petition in forma pauperis in the Court of London by a debtor entitled K• to petition for adjudication of bankruptcy against himself, shall be attested by Walter William Aldiige, the solicitor for petitions in forma pan penis in the said court, or by one of his clerks, or by the keeper of the gaol in which the debtor petitioning shall be confined, and the petition shall be prepared, filed, and pro secuted by such solicitor ; and such solicitor shall also act in bankruptcies of prisoner debtors, upon adjudications made by registrars, which are to be prosecuted in the said court.

THAMES. CLEARING OUT A SAILOR.—EIIen Carey, aged 30, and Margaret Fitzgerald, 20, were brought up on remand be • fore Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing £5 in gold and silver, a £5 Bank of England note, a silver watch and gold chain, a coat, waistcoat, and black silk neckerchief, the moneys and property of Thos. M'Robb, a seaman who was paid off with £36 on Thursday, the 20th inst., and 12 hours after wards was without a farthing. Mr. Selfe—Well, Wltelb, you are a Scotchman be longing to Aberdeen, and you appear to have left all your shrewdness and wit there, for without exception 3ou are the most stupid sailor I have met with for some time. As to that woman Fitzgerald, she ought to be branded as the most incorrigible thief that ever indulged in the practice of robbing sailors. She never took a man home without rob bing him. _ . . M'ltobb, a tall, sun-burnt mariner, with a pair of huge red whiskers, said he was with the Irish woman Fitzgerald nearly all night of the 20th inst. at the house of the woman Carey. The other woman Carey came into the room F event: times. She brought his boots and trousers about 10 o'clock on Friday morning, and told him he must leave the house, and she gave him a pawnbroker s duplicate relating to his coat and vest. He asked where the rest of his clothes were, and she said she knew nothing of them. His pocket-book, all his money, £5 in gold and a £5-note, and his watch were gone, and when he asked for them the woman laughed at him. Mr. Selfe—Well they might. These audacious women would have stolen you if they could have made anything of you.

NOTE: ROYAL GE, L SOCIETY. A crowded meeting of this society was held on Monday evening, Lord Ashburton, president, in the chair. Among the accessions to the library and map rooms since the former meeting were :—M`Cosh's "Advice to Officers in India ;" Kennedy's "Ethno logical and Linguistic Essays ;" General Atlas by Visscher ; American Atlas, by Sefferys ; Admiralty Charts, &c. Several photographs of Mendoza, after the late earthquake, were exhibited by Mr. Hinch cliff; and diagrams illustrating Capt. Bedford Pim's proposed transit route across Central America were also exhibited. Mr. Galton then read " Extracts from a General Re i ,ort on the Brazilian Province of the Parana," by the Hon. H. P. Vereker, her Britannic Mejesty's Consul at Rio Grande do Sul. The second paper read was " Sketch of the Present State of the Republic of Nicaragua," by G. R. Perry, her Majest%'s Vice-Consul for that State. Capt. BEDFORD Pfm, R.N., F.R.G.S., then read his paper on "Proposed Transit Route across Cen tral America." The proposed route has its Atlantic terminus at Monliey Point, on the coast of Mosquito, where there is a secure anchorage formed by Gor gon Bay. The railway would extend from Monkey Point to San Migueiito on the Lake Nicaragua, a distance of 60 or 70 miles, From San Migueli'o the new transit route crosses Lake Nicaragua; and it is proposed to cut a shallow canal of 6 feet deep through the narrow neck of land of 12 miles broad which separates that body of water from the Pacific, and form a Pacific terminus at Salinas Bay, a har bour of great capability. The entire length of the route would not exceed 130 miles. The author then drew attention to the commercial advantages of the new route, and expressed his wish to obtain all the information he could on the subject. An interesting discussion ensued, in which Sir Roderick I. Murchison, Admiral Sir E. Belcher, and Mr. Gerstenberg took part. Capt. Pim having replied to Mr. Gerstenberg's remarks, the chairman adjourned the meeting to the 10th March next. THE PARAFFIN EXPLOSION. Yesterday morning Mr. Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, resumed the adjourned inquest at the William the Fourth tavern, King-street, New North-road, Islington, respecting the death of Mr. John R. Catherall, aged 38 years, who died from the explosion of a paraffin oil lamp. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely place, attended to VT at ch the proceedings for Mr. Archer, the alleged vender of the oil ; and Mr. Johnson was present to watch the interests of Young's Patent Paraffin Light Company. The inquest room was crowded, and many scien tific men were in attendance. It will be recollected that the deceased was a law clerk, residing with his sister, at No. 12, Suf folk-street, Rotherfield-street, and about three weeks since, while his sister was replenishing a lamp with some oil, the deceased held a lighted candle near it, when the contents exploded and burned the deceased over the arms and face, where by he received such injuries that he expired in a few days. The following additional evidence was adduced : Mary Catherall, the sister, was recalled, and said, in answer to the coroner, that she paid 3s. 2d. per gallon for the oil, at Mr. Archer's shop, in the Ne w North•road. At the time of the explosion tbelamp was on the table, and the burner was on the lamp. There was a wick in the burner. He lifted the burner off with one hand, and poured the oil in with the other. The burner was further from the lamp than the oil. Had seen the can produced, but she could not identify it. The burner was marked Young's Patent." A great deal of oil went over, her brother, and he ran into the street all on fire, By Mr. Lewis—Had cleaned the lamp recently, and could not say whether it was Young's oil. Had. not complained of the lamp being out of order, but had made a complaint of the oil burning badly. The lamp was about three parts full at the time of the explosion. Mr. John Matthew Akin, 48, Suffolk-street, New North-rwid, was then called, and said that he heard of the accident shortly after it had occurred, He fetched the can away from the house on the morning after the explosion, to test the oil which was left. He poured some into a small 'vessel, and upon applying a light to the oil it instantly ignited. Ho tested his own oil in the same way, and it did not ignite. The oil was fetched back by a stranger from the deceased sister's resi dence. By Mr. Johnson—l believe that I burn Young's oil ; but I did not purchase it at Mr. Archer's. I cannot say positively whether it was Young's oil. I bought my oil at Brown's, at Islington. Mr. Lewis—l do not know whether I burn one of Young's patent lamps. I generally keep the lamp pretty full of oil. When the light diminished, I found that the oil was getting very low. By the Coroner—l did not burn any of the oil I got from the deceased's house. Wm. APKenzie, a lad, was then called, and said that he lived at 9, George-street. He recollected getting half a pint of oil for 21d. at Mr. Archer's, on Saturday, and he gave it to Mr. Burrows, the surgeon. Mr. Burrows was then examined, and said that he received it from the last witness. The Coroner said there was a very considerable difficulty in tracing the oil which had been taken from the house of the deceased. The jury would therefore be under the necessity of testing other oils. He (the coroner) was compelled to take evi dence out of the ordinary course. Mr. Lewis said he should take the oils tested by Dr. Let heby, of the London Hospital, or Dr. Od ling, of Guy's Hospital. The Coroner said th a t hi s pos i t i on was very peculiar, and he had no funds allowed by the county magistrates to pay for such analyses. After some further evidence the jury retired. The were absent half an hour, when they returned with the following verdict:—" That the deceased died from the effects of an explosion of a certain paraffin oil purchased as the best paraffin oil, and unexplosive, ar.d the jurors desire to express an opinion that the legislature ought to interfere to prevent dangerous oils being sold for domestic purposes." 7R1,41 FOR MURDER IN FRANCH. Tho Court of Assizes of the Isere, sitting at Grenoble, has just been engaged during three days in trying a man named Francois Gresse, on a charge of poisoning a wealthy farmer named Ber thier, residing at Morte d'Aveillan, near Grenoble. It appeared from the evidence on the trial that the prisoner was appointed assistant teacher at the communal school of Morte d'Aveillan, in 1860, and soon after became acquainted circumstances, frequently asked him to dine withnecessitoushim himself and his wife and one child, with Berthier, who, taking compassion on his family, consisting of a last invited him to live with them entirely. Gresse The farmer was so pleased with n Gresse that he at accepted the invitation, and returned the worthy his wife and then induced her he soon after seducedaahand that they might be married farmer's kindness with the basest ingratitude, for to poison her h his property , amounting to about 40,0001. was smallcarried into execution by adminis and enjoy In do ses.

Berthier after long suffering died in September last, and Gresse almost immediately after assumed the tone of master in the house, until the widow's brothers interfered and compelled him to leave. He nevertheless persisted in his de signs on the widow, and at last induced her, by threats of denouncing her crime, to sign a promise to marry him after the legal interval of ten months from her husband's death should have expired, or else to pay him a sum of 10.000 f. When the exist ence of this document became known to Mme. Berthier's brothers, one of them bitterly reproached her for having entered into such a contract, and she ultimately told him that it had been forced from her by the prisoner's threats to denounce her as a Poisoner. She also informed her brother that to Grease had given her the poison, and helped eon administer it.
