CITY, Two o'CLocK. The demand for money is steadily increasing, but the rates continue to range nearly Q per cent. below the minimum of the Bank of England. A small quantity of gold, viz., 25,000, was with drawn from the Bank of England yesterday for exportation. No alteration of importance was exhibited in the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. A considerable amount of business took place in the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, and the ]ate advance was maintained. The sales were about 6,000 bales. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £4.55,300, and the exports £307,800. The Directors of the Bank of Egypt have issued their report in anticipation of their meeting on the 17th inst., which states that the net profits, includ ing a balance brought forward from the preceding half year, amounted to £13,554 14s. 4d., out of which the usual dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum for the half year, free of income-tax, will be recommended. The suspension has taken place of Mr. T. Ruslat Browne, merchant and insurance agent, with liabilities estimated at about £60,000, and the assets are expected to prove favourable. The failure is attributed to the non-receipt of remittances from Australia. The sum of £20,455 was paid yesterday into the Indian Treasury on account of the Punjaub Rail way ; £15,785 to the credit of the Scinde Railway ; and £21,500 in respect of the Indus Steam Flotilla. A call of £lO per share became due to-day on the Danube and Black Sea Railway New Shares; of £2 on the South Yorkshire £2O 10 per cent. shares; and of £2 on the Vale of Neath Preference. The prospectus has been issued of a new Italian line, to be entitled the Turin and Savona Railway, with a capital of £2,408,000, including £368,000 for a branch to Acqui. According to the terms of the concession £480,000 of this sum will be a sub vention or free gift from the Government and com munes, £BOO,OOO in shares, and the remainder in obligation, of which £368,000, the sum required for the Acqui branch, is to enjoy a Government guarantee. It is explained that the distance from Turin to the port of Savona is 90 miles, and the branch to Acqui will be 30 miles, making a total length of 120 miles. One half of the share capital is stated to have been taken in Italy, and the re mainder will, no doubt, be speedily subscribed.

POLICE 2NTELLIGENCE.—( 77 d B Day.) BUBIIIeSB done EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. ERRORS FROM THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Judges present—Lord Chief Justice Pollock, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Baron Channell, Mr. Justice Keating, and Mr. Justice Byles. (Lord Chief Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Williams afterwards came on the bench to hear the arguments of counsel in another cause.) 16 I JUDGMENT - ARCHER V. JAMES. This was an action by the plaintiff, a journeyman stock ing -maker in Nottingham, to recover from the defendant balance of wages due to him. The defendant pleaded that the balance of the plaintiff's wages was paid in supplying him with machines for working heels of stockings, light, fire, room-rent, and fines, amounting to 3s. 9d. per week. The plaintiff replied that such payment of wages was not lawful, and contrary to the Truck Act, Ist and 2d William 4, sec. 23, that his wages should be paid in money. The Court of Queen's Bench decided in favour of the defendant. Mr. Justice Keating and other judges were of opinion that the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench should be reversed on the ground that such payment was not a legal payment of a mechanic or artificer's Wages. Baron Bramwell and other Judges considered that such payment was lawful and did not come under the Truck Act. The Court being equally divided the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench was affirmed. Costs reserved for further consideration. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge-Ordinary.) BORROUGHS V. BORROUGHS. This was a petition presented by the wife for the restitu tion of conjugal rights. The respondent pleaded adultery on the part of the wife, and also that there was a suit pend ing for the dissolation of marriage, in which Silcock was co •respondent. The mother of the petitioner (Mrs. Coleman) proved the marriage of the parties, which took place on the Ist of January, 1859. The young lady, whose name was Cole man, was at that time 21, and Mr. Borroughs 23. They lived in the mother's house for about nine months, and then took a house at Statham, where they resided till Dec., 1860, when cohabitation ceased, In cross-examination the lady said—l knew Mr. Silcocks as a gentleman living at Statham. Did not know that Mr. Borroughs remonstrated with his wife about Silcock's visits. He was on most friendly terms with him. My daughter told me the circumstances that led to her leaving her hus band's house. She said it was in consequence of her hus band finding Mr. Silcocks concealed in the drawing-room. She did not tell me she refused to sleep with her husband that night. She said that Mr. Silcocks brought a letter to her that I had written, and thinking she might like to see it he brought it to her. He took the letter to the back-door, and my daughter wa3 in the kitchen. When she saw Mr. Silcock there she said that she must not be seen speaking to him as her husband had dismissed him the house. She then went into the dining-room, and he fol lowed her and gave her the letter. While he was speaking to her her husband came in at the back door, and fearful of a great quarrel she told him to go into the drawing-room, and let himself out. When her husband came in he took up the candle and said there was somebody in the house. It was half-past five or six in the evening. Mr. Burroughs went into the drawing-room and there he found Mr. Sil cock. When he found him he asked what business he had there. Some angry words took place, and Mr. Burroughs threatened to kick him out. Mr. Silcock said he would walk out. He afterwards said it would be a bad job, and then asked her whether she would not have some tea. Mrs. Borroughs told her husband if ho kuspected her while she was taking tea it would choke her. He then went out to see a Mr. Trews in the village, and remained out till one o'clock, when he returned home and went to bed in the spare room. He got up early on the next morning, and she had never seen her husband till very lately, Prisoner—l plead guilty to taking the money. The daughter of the landlady of the hotel said—The prisoner came and asked for a cup of tea for the prosecutor, who came in quite sober, and I saw him put the cup to prosecutor's mouth. My mother then sent for a constable. Cane, 35 C, proved picking up the sovereign, and find ing another up the prisoner's coat sleeve. Prosecutor—l don't wish to press the charge. Mr. Yardley—Don't interfere, sir. Mr. Yardley then told the prisoner he might plead guilty if he liked. Prisoner then called a witness, whose statement was totally irrelevant to the case. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed. Mrs; Borroughs said—l am the petitioner in this cause there . exeepting some I married in. J a nuary, 1859. Aft er t h at we resided at my mother's till Octobe r in the s ame year. We then went y t Mr. Borrou g h s b e i ng out so late. I had £ l,OOO when I married. My husband t d o i s live e a e t m S e t n a t l wa e m had nothing but what he had fr om his father and what he u s l e N d ' e t l o i v h e a d v e happily p o i obtained by his profession as a solicitor. His practice was very, small. He used to go out to different per sons in Statham, and sometimes to the publichouse. I did not leave my husband's house of my own accord. I got a letter telling me to do so from a lawyer in Yarmouth. I have been living with my mother ever since. I have not seen my husband until I saw him in London. He has made no proposal to me. Cross-examined—We had no dispute about Mr. Silcock, only I told him if he did not like his coming to the house he had better tell him so. He had written to him telling him not to come. He did not appear to me to be jealous of his coming. He never said more than he thought lie had better not come, as people made remarks about it. It was at the end of the summer this took place. He was friendly with Mr, Silcock. He had written more than once to Mr. Sileock about his visits, but my husband had made it up with him. Ho never asked me anything about Mr. Silcock's visits. I think the first letter was written from Stalham, when my mother had gone to Yarmouth for a short time. My brother Walter was then staying with me, and he told Mr, Borroughs he thought he had better write to Silcock. Mr. Silcock used to come very often to our house. He used to come to our house while Mr. B nroughs was in his office. He has left Silcock often in the room with me. I don't think that Mr. Borroughs wrote more than two letters altogether. When the second letter was written, my husband said remarks were being made about Mr. Silcock's visits. My husband never said the neighbours talked about me walking out with Silcock. I never did so. Mr. Silcock never kissed me, except once, and then it was my hand under the mistletoe. I had then known him but a very short time. I saw Mr. Silcock in Yarmouth. I was there on a visit to some ladies named Crick. Mr. Borrough was in Yar mouth that day I received the invitation from Miss Crick. I remained there one night. We all went out to tea. I returned home to Mrs, Crick's with the youngest Miss Crick about half-past ten. I did not change my dress. I only put on little Miss Crick's hat, and we went out for a short turn in front of the house. We met Mr. Silcock before we returned home; I think it must have been about half past six. We met Mr. Silcock coming off the pier. He went with us to Miss Crick's, but stayed a little time. We all went out together, but Mr. Silcock left us. I saw him again about nine o'clock. I was standing at the gate with little Emma, ' It was then I put on the hat and cloak. We only walked up and down in front of the house till Miss Crick came home about half-past 10. Silcock and myself entered the house by the back door. The servant let us in. Miss Crick, and a young gentleman, named Brown, who had seen her home, were at the front door. I did not wish Mr. Brown to see Mr. Silcock. Mr. Silcock and myself did not kiss each other, and give the maid half-a-crown. I did give the maid half-a-crown when I left the next day. I will swear the only kiss that was ever given was that I have spoken tl as having taken place under the mistletoe My husband, when he found Silcock in the drawing-room, never asked me for what he had come. I threw my hus band's guard ring, and other things from'my jewel case. I was angry because he did not ask me to explain Mr. Silcock's visit. I don't think I threw a locket, containing Mr. Borroughs' likeness out of it, because I have it now. I never said " I will not sleep with you," I went to sleep in a different room to that usually used in consequence of what had taken place. The door remained opened, so he could have entered if he chose. The servant slept with me. I did not see my husband after this. Re-examined—Mr. BurrDughs gave me his sanction to go. Ho knew I was going to Miss Crick. He went to his father's. I was not friendly with him. The only reason for which I took the hat was that my own, which had a feather in it, was rather damp. Mr. Silcock had not been in the house more than two or three minutes before my husband came in. I first made Mr. Silcoa's acquaintance at Christmas time when we first went to Stalham. My husband introduced me to him. By the Judge Ordinary—The servant told me that Mr. Borroughs had threatened to kick Mr. Silcock out of the house. This was the case for the petitioner.

PICKING UP A SEA CAPTAIN.—SINGULAR CASE.—John Smith, a young man, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing two sovereigns from Mr. Joseph Burdus, captain of a merchant ship, and at present residing at 3, Barrossa-place, Brompton. Mr. Burdos said—l am a captain of a merchant ship, and went last night with the prisoner to No. 30, Coventry street,—an hotel. I had met the prisoner in the early part of the evening and invited him to have something to drink. Prisoner said he would like to go to the theatre, and I allowed him to take my arm. I paid for everything. Went to Saville House, Leicester-square. We then went to the hotel in Coventry-street, and after I had had some tea I fell asleep, but I know I had £2 10s. in my pocket. On waking, and going to pay the waiter, I found all my money gone. I asked the prisoner if he had robbed me, and he said "Robbed you; I'm a gentleman, and I'll bring an action against you." The landlady then shut the door, and prevented the pri soner leaving the room. Prisoner then said, " Search me. I've not robbed you." The constable then took the pri soner, and as he was going along I heard a sovereign drop, and the constable picked it up. 1 told the prisoner I would let him got if he would own to it. I have no doubt the prisoner drugged the tea I had, as I had a bitter taste in my mouth when I awoke. I was perfectly sober, having only had a bottle of wine. Mr. Yardley—Had you been drinking anything else? The Captain—Three glasses of brandy and water, but I was perfectly sober, I can assure you. Mr. Yardley—Where did you first meet the prisoner? The Captain—At a public house. I had the bottle of wine with another captain, and I treated the prisoner libe rally, believing that he was respectable. Mr. Yardley—Are you in the habit of picking up casual acquaintances when you are in London The Captain—No. The other sovereign was found in prisoner's coat. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS. TLe will of Colonel Sir Claude Martin Wade, C. 8., of the Hon. E ist India Company's Service, late of the city of Bath, was proved in London by two of the executors—namely, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., and John Kemp, Esq , solicitor, Bath—power being reserved to Robert Wigram Crawford, Esq., of Old Broad-street, City, and John Dickinson, jun., Esq. of Abbot's-hill, Hemel Hempstead, the other executors. The peasonalty in England was sworn under £20,000. Colonel Sir C. M. Wade, the testa tor, distinguished himself both as a military officer and as a diplomatist, and received the honour of knighthood, the rank of C. 8., and several other badges of distinction for his valuable services. The testator has died possessed of a competent fortune, the principal of it apparently being invested in Indian Securities. To Lady Wade, who possesses an income under settlement, he has bequeathed a life interest in two thirds of the general estate, sub ject to certain payments as provisions for younger children, his son Claude Fitzroy Wade taking an entire third of the property. To Lady Wade he has also bequeathed the jewellery, furniture, car. riages, &c., absolutely ; but the presentation swords and other trophies, &c, are only bequeathed to her for life, being directed on her decease to pass to his son Claude, to be retained by him as heirlooms. The residue of the estate is bequeathed amon g the testator's younger children. The colonel has left legacies to the following charitable institutions:—To the Earl of Shaftesbury, £5O, according to his discretion, towards the support of ragged schools ; to the Mineral Water Infirmary, Bath, £5O; to St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park, £25, and to a lunatic asylum, £2O. Sir Claude has left his books, MSS., and other documents to his executors, to be dealt with according to their discretion, and, if published, the profits arising from such are directed to form a part of the residue of his estate.—The will of Sir James Williams, Bart„ of. Clovelly Court, near Bideford, Devon, Ed winsford, Carmarthenshire, and Upper Grosvenor -street, was proved in London on the 18th ult. The executors appointed were the Hon. John Wm. Fortescue (since deceased) and the Hon. Gerard James Noel, M.P. for Rutlandshire, to s hom probate was granted, the personal property being sworn under £35,000. Sir James died pos sessed of considerable property, consisting of valuable estates, together with the personalty above mentioned. He married, in 1823, Lady Mary, daughter of Earl Fortescue, by whom he had issue three daughters (all married); and having no male heir, he has devised amongst them his various estates, rendered exceedingly lucrative from their mineral products. Lady Mary Williams being provided for under settlement and otherwise, Sir James has bequeathed to her an immediate legacy of £5OO, together with the enjoyment of the town mansion, furniture, carriages, plate, &c. The plate, on the decease of her ladyship, is directed to pass to his three daughters and to their children in re spective portions. The daughters are also appointed residuary legatees. The baronetcy, which was created in 1795, has now become extinct. Sir James succeeded to the title and estates in 1829, on the death of his father, and attained to the age of 71. He served the office of High Sheriff for Carmar thenshire in 1848, and represented that county in Parliament for a brief period, The will is rather of unusual dimensions, its contents having spread over an extent of nearly 300 folios, and bears date December 1858, and a codicil 1859.—illustrated London _News, FAruary 1.

Accounts have been received from Martinique and Guadeloupe to the 11th Jan. The imminence of war between England and the United States had caused considerable alarm, as it would have been the means of putting an end in a great measure to the trade carried on between the French West India islands and America. The Budget of ordinary and extraordinary receipts at Guadeloupe for 1862 is set down at 3,726,174 fr., and that of the expenses at 3,570,212 fr., thus leaving a balance of 155,959 Tr. to be applied to the docks for the transatlantic steamers. The aocounts from Martinique are satis factory as to the state of the islands, the crops being all very promising. The Council General closed its session by a grand banquet, which was attended by all the civil and military authorities, and at which the healths of the Imperial family and of Count do Chasseloup Laubat, the Minister of the Colonies, was drunk with loud applause.

Caughey, an American revivalist of some eminence, has been preaching at Bristol in connection with the United Methodist Free Church, and has been attracting crowded audiences. The rev. gentle man's discourses there are all characterised by great earn estness. At the conclusion of his discourses there are gene rally held "revival meetings," and it frequently happens that those meetings are conducted with much warmth. During the present week Mr. Caughey has been holding services at Milk-street Chapel, and on Tuesday night there was a crowded attendance, Whilst the service was pro ceeding, and the audience appeared to be actuated by a deep devotional feeling, a circumstance occurred which ought to set those persons on their guard who frequent meetings of that kind. It is not long ago when mention was made in the newspapers of a clever London pickpocket abstracting a gold repeater from the clergyman or minister who was pouring into his apparently sin-stricken mind that conso lation which it was his province to bestow, and the case in point was one which might have resulted in a similar loss had the impostor not been recognised. On the evening in question, and just at the commencement of the prayer meet ing, a young man who had been paying considerable atten tion to the words of the preacher was perceived by those near him to be in a swooning state. His frame was rigid, and b e appeared to be " stricken" with those bodily manifesta tions which characterised the revivals both on the other side of the Atlantic and in the sister island. On each side of him was a lady, and his body was thrown completely across the "lap" of one of them, whilst his arms, or at least one of his arms, was enveloped in the folds of her dress. Consi derable alarm was naturally felt by those in the vicinity of the " stricken" one, and assistance was at once rendered. The young man having been raised up from his position, his first cry was for " cold water," but, upon one of those who had gone:to his assistance perceiving that he was what P.C. 901 would call " a suspicious character," he was car ried out of the chapel, much to his disappointment. See ing that he was recognised or suspected the fellow be gan to personate insanity, mid with an oath demanded the way out of the passage. The mode of exit was at once shown him, and with another exclamation he rushed out into the street. He was followed to the door, but perceiving that his game was discovered he very speedily disappeared. We have not heard whether any thing else disappeared at the same time, but yesterday, at the Council-house, the rogue was brought before the sitting magistrate, charged with stealing a quantity of meat. The offence was clearly proved, and the fellow having been more than once convicted of felony, he was sent for trial before the recorder. The prisoner was accompanied at the revival meeting by a gang of confederates.— Western Daily Tress, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY. We had rather more business to-day than for some time past. The Two Thousand Guineas and the Derby exhibit little change. The Marquis is not in such strong demand for the former ; and for the latter, any advance upon 8 to 1 would have been taken about the favourite, and 12 to 1 was asked for against Old Calabar. Typee colt was supported to win a few thousands at 25 to 1. The Chester Cup moves along very slowly, and but few books are opened upon that event. The same remark will also apply to the Grand National Steeplechase, although appearances lead us to infer that it will prove a fair speculative :race.

It is to be h o p e d that this gracious effort of the literary world in behalf of a brother-writer disabled by illness may meet with the suc cess it deserves. A t least, it is a pl eas i ng proof of the k i n dly feeling existing in the present day among the mem bers of the press. DISCOVERY OF A NEW COAL-FIELD,--We (Scots man) understand that the celebrated "Dunfermline Splint" seam of coal has just been discovered in a new pit lately sunk on the estate of Lassodie. The coal is of unusually fine quality; and as the mineral-field is extensive, and con tains all the other seams of the district besides, the mineral wealth and the railway traffic of the locality will be greatly increased for many years to come. The coal-field is opened up by the West of Fife and Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railways, and Charlestown will be the principal shipping port, BLRMINGAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The half-yearly meeting of the members of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce was held in the Committee-room of the Town-hall on Thursday afternoon. There was a large attendance—Mr. R. Spooner, M.P., president, in the chair. The report of the committee stated that in refer ence to the bankrupt law they could not congra tulate the chamber upon having obtained all that was desired in the way of bankruptcy reform, but it is a matter of much satisfaction to observe that although the act is inferior in many respects to the bill introduced by Lord John Russell and Mr. Headlam, at the instance of this and other chambers of commerce, yet the act does not recognise some of the most important principles which this chamber has always insisted upon as essential to bankruptcy reform—namely, the abolition of the distinction between bankruptcy and insolvency, and between. trader and non-trader, increased facilities for volun tary settlements between insolvent debtors and their creditors, the registration of deeds of arrange ment with power to enforce their provisions in the Court of Bankruptcy, the relief of the creditors' fund from the compensation annuities for abolished offices, and more stringent provisions for the punish ment of fraudulent debtors. The principles which this and other chambers advocated, but which have not been adopted in the act, are :—The consolida tion of the statutes relating to bankruptcy and in solvency ; the transfer of the salaries of the com missioners and judical staff from the creditors funds to the consolidated fund ; the administration of the estates of deceased insolvents ; th e pay ment of the official assignees partly by fees and partly by salary ; and the abolition of the office of messenger. It is very probable that it will be found necessary to bring in a bill to amend the act. The accidental omission of one clause in reference to the discharge of the creditors' assignee, renders such a bill essential to the working of that set of clauses. Should such an amended bill be introduced, it will be for the council to consider whether advantage should not be taken of the opportunity to remedy such deficiencies of the act as may be found to interfere with its satisfactory working. As to the commer cial and agricultural capabilities of British India, your council lost no time in complying with the in structions of the last half-yearly meeting, but the committee appointed at its first meeting found it impossible to proceed with an inquiry of so varied and general a character, until some definite and re liable data were before them, on which to base their conclusion. This the member who intro duced the subject has kindly undertaken to supply. The recent complications between this country and America, and the questions of international Mari time Law involved therein;have suggested to your council the propriety of inquiring into this impor tant subject; a committee for this purpose has teen appointed. The subject of partnership law amend ment and extension of the principle of limited lia bility to private partnerships was one of the first that engaged the attention of this Chamber, and it will be remembered that during the progress of the Joint Stock Companies Act of 1856 this Chamber urged upon the Government, both by deputation and petition, the importance of making several modifi cationsur eicou i n nt l pphaeperniry to this report iplesandde a series tailsofthe Your of rea sons for an amendment of these laws, which they submit for discussion at the present meeting, and are prepared (under the authority of the Chamber) to bring the subject under the notice of the House of Commons early next session. Mr. G. DIXON introduced the subject of Partner ship Law Amendment, and moved, "That the coon_ cil be requested to take such steps as they may deem proper for carrying into effect the modifications in the laws regulating partnerships proposed by the c ouncil. Mr. A. RYLAND seconded the motion. Mr. H. SMITH said the proposition involved two matters which he thought would be well separated. It was one thing to limit the liability of a partner in a certain firm to a certain amount of money, but it was quite another thing to give to a partner a share of the profits, without any share in the liabilities ; and whilst he saw so many reasons for limiting the liability of a partner to the amount ho subscribed, he must certainly demur to the propriety of abandoning that principle of com mon law and common sense which said that every one participtating in the profits of a partnership should also participate in its burdens. Mr. GEORGE SMITH seconded the amendment. After some conversation, Mr. Dixon and Mr. Ryland consented to meet the amendment, by mov ing each of the three propositions involved in the original motion separately. Mr. DIXON then moved " that the council be instructed to urge upon the Government the pro priety of introducing a bill during the next session of Parliament, to effect the extension of the prin ciple of limited liability to all private partnerships, so as to permit either a portion or the whole of the partners of a firm to be liable only for the amount subscribed by them." Mr. J. Lowe considered the principle of limited. liability dishonest in principle, and unsatisfactory in its operation. He trusted they would still ad here to the good old English practice of making every partner engaged in contracting debts re. sponsible to his last shilling. (Hear.) The motion was carried by 20 to 5. Mr. DIXON then moved, "That the Council should be instructed to urge upon the Government the necessity of passing an act containing provisions for the compulsory registration of the names of all the partners of a firm and of the amounts contributed by the limited partners if any such there be." In doing so he said the resolution arose as a necessity out of the last one. Mr. RYLAND seconded the motion. The PRESIDENT suggested that the word" actual" should be inserted before the word " amounts" in the resolution, so that limited partners should Lot be intTe a hr e b es l t e r eo t sf o o u d 2t o oi oon a , s aw t n h ad e s o y na d lmy i d epn i ad n ye c du o mpanies—take an p as i2 s 4 ge ( s li te e d ar. a ) na carried unanimously. Mr. DIXON then moved—" That the act do pro vide for the power to grant participation in profits to clerks, egents,managers, or workpeople, without the privileges or liabilities of partners." He entered. at some length into his reasons for supporting the resolution, and replied to the objections of Mr. H. Smith. Mr. SMITH, however, stated that he adhered to everything he had previously said. A vote of thanks to the President brought Om proceedings to a close. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. Nonni SHIELDS, FRIDAY, 7.30 P.M.—A messenger has arrived in this town. and passed on to Sunderland with the appalling account of another frightful accident that has occurred but a few miles from Hartley. Messrs. Mounsey and Dixon have recently recommenced the extensive ironworks at Bedling ton. This afternoon, about 10 minutes to 4, Mr. Mounsey, Mr. Dixon, and Mrs. Mounsey, who belongs to Sunderland, and several ladies, had gone to the new mills to see the workmen saw iron. While viewing the process Mrs. Mounsey got her dress entangled among the machinery, was in a moment drawn in among it, and, according to the messenger, she was literally torn to pieces. The spectacle is described as most frightful. I have been down to theft railway-station, and the guard who has brought the half past 6 train from Bedlington describes the excitement there as frightful. L o a NE I , PW JAN.RE3CIK, 3 .0 2 5 N p .

" Strange Story" is announced for publication next week It will break through the old form of three vols., 31s. 6d although comprising more than the average quantity of novels, and is to appear in two thick volumes. The de ferred appearance of this work, we are informed, has arisen from some curious scientific developments in the course of the tale, which will add materially to the zest for its perusal.
