SPAIN AND MOROCCO. -- -~-- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The Crusade of the nineteenth century seems to falter. We cannot recognise in it the zeal and pr - omptitude of the old religious war. A few months since, Spain did indeed resound with a certain clangour of arms. There was a hum of savage en thusiasm in thatkingdom whioh might almost have made us imagine that Peter the Hermit and Wal ter the Mon eyless had come again to life and tra velled into Spain—the one to revive the fanaticism )of old times, and the other to preserve the normal condition of Spanish credit and finance. But as this movement goes on there is a lack of the romance and chivalrous self-devotion which ought to make up for the want of a reasonable object. If the coun trymen of Don Quixote had meant to do the thing according to precedent they ought, like the Council of Clermont, to have cried out unanimously, " It is the will of God—it is the will of God!"—they should then have precipitated themselves en masse across the Straits. They ought by this time to have swept Saracens and Berbers and Moors down into the Great Desert, and to have erected the Cross over the domes of Fez and Morocco. The old Cru , aders with 20,000 foot and 1,500 horse besieged Jerusalem only five weeks before they sto rme d it, an d was h e d the streets of the Holy City with the blood of the infidels. It surely is a proof of the degeneracy of modern fanaticism that O'Donnell, the Crusader of the nineteenth century, has been for weeks in the land of the unbelievers, at the head of 40,000 Chris tians, and has done nothing but stand upon the de fensive. THE KNIFE.—John Gilbert, of 6, King's-court, Berwick street, Soho, was charged with tho following ill-usage of his wife, Catherine Gilbert, and cutting her in the hand with a knife. Inspector Webb said the wife was not able to attend, but a medical gentleman was present who had attended her. Charles Godwin, 206 C, said he was called to the house, 6, Kemp's-court, at a quarter past seven the previous even ing. He found the prisoner, who was drunk, sitting on a chair, and his wife with a severe wound in her hand and bleeding from her finger, and crying bitterly. She said the prisoner had been beating her about the head, and had cut her finger with a knife, threatening at the same time that he would kill her. The wife went to the Marlborough mews station, and was attended by a surgeon. Sergeant James Kay, 16 C, said he went at a quarter past nine this morning to see the prisoner's wife. He found her in bed with her head and finger bandaged up. She was in an unfit state to attend the court to-day. Dr. James Henderson, of 31, Great Marlborough-street. said he attended the woman: She was suffering from an incised wound of the finger, and a wound on her head, which appeared to have been done by her head coming in contact with a wall. There were also some marks on her neck. The woman is still suffering from the effects of ill treatment, and scarcely fit to attend the court. Mr. 13eadon, upon this, said he should remand the pri soner for a week, to see the result of the injuries the woman had received. .What have the representatives in this prosaic age of the Hugh of Vermandois, the Raymond of Toulouse, the Godfrey of Bouillon, a n d th e St ep h en of Blois of the eleventh century, to do, in com parison with the deeds of those energetic knights ? They have not to march through hostile popula tions, trusting to miracles for subsistence on their way. They go forth with all the comforts of steam conveyance and an excellent Commissariat, and with all the modern appliances of rifled guns and a fleet to protect their flank. They have 40,000, or, as our correspondent now reckons them, 30,000 soldiers, who boast themselves the bravest and best disciplined in the world. They land under their own guns, and comfortably barrack themselves in their own city or encamp under their own walls. They have before them not a conquering race in the full car'eer of conquest, but a poor beaten herd of mingled races, who have l os t all confidence in their destiny, and whose very religion teaches them to despair. The immediate feat proposed to them is not to meet the hosts of Soleyman •or Saladin, to march a miserable seven leagues along the coast and to take a wretched littl e t own , th e i n h a bi tants of which have already settled among themselves by which particular path among the mountains they shall take their flight. Ye Red Cross Knights why do ye hesitate to do so small a matter ? It can not be that your courage fails you, for we know you are brave men. But if your resolution holds, surely it is time to begin. For weeks this great in vading host has been besieged in Ceuta by the con temptible enemy they went to invade. No one ' ever believed that the Moors could in serious fight meet the disciplined Spaniards. Far down in the Tell and towards the borders of the Sahara, where there are sandy plains and wild mountain passes, we dreaded for our Spanish friends some notable reverses ; but here, on the seacoast, almost in sight of Cadiz, we cannot appreciate this terrible diffi culty of a seven leagues' march and this hurried call for reinforcements. With rifled cannon and Toledo steel they cannot be afraid of those clumsy matchlocks and doubtful muskets which England, Belgium and France have exported to Africa at different times, or even of those accurate long barrels which the Portuguese smith made for a former Moorish Emperor. The Spaniards are equipped with the best European rifles, while, for effective purposes, the Moors are not much better armed than they were in the days of the Ramiros, who thought nothing of slaying 70,000 Saracens in a single fight. These Christian apostles of the sword are surely not alarmed at the stories they are told that 100,000 men may possibly attack them on their march; 30,000 regular troops ought to thrash 300,000 undisciplined and al m o s t u nar me d militia. Their forefathers used to do something of this sort, or the present race of Spaniards would not now have to go over the Straits to meet a Moorish enemy. 30,000 Europeans against 100,000 Orientals ! It would be foul shame to our Euro pean blood to doubt for a moment what the issue of such a conflict must be, or to hesitate to pierce such an impediment. Let the Spaniards consider what we English have done in India against such odds ; or let them remember what their own Campeador, or Cortez, or Pizarro thought of them; ' or, if they want to have their confidence strength ened, let them remember how in this very Empire ' of Morocco the French fought and gained the battle of Isly at greater odds than these. It is not by building redoubts and cutting down cork trees while an Arab encampment is in sight that the Westerns have been accustomed to beat the Oriental races. It is not in resisting fanatical charges that the Chris tian chivalry of old or modern times gained glory among the nations of the West. But we are told these 30,000 Spaniards are all recruits. So much the better. There is nothing like a recruit for a dash. It was with raw recruits that the Saracens came from their deserts and the Turks from their wilds. It was with raw recruits that the Generals of the French Republic overran Europe and that we won Waterloo. No man fights like your recruit if he has just learnt his drill and has a steady nerve. He doesn't know the danger. The real old soldier is much more chary of his life; he has seen battle fields after the work was done, and has been struck by the inconvenient consequences of a general action. Ho knows that something comes after the fiery excitement of a charge, and the cries of " Water !" ring in his ears. Depend upon it, for this terrific march of 21 miles along the seacoast, with a fleet to accompany them, 30,000 recruits ought to be quite as good as 30,000 veterans. These Spanish heroes must excuse our impa tience. We have come very unwillingly to look ' upon this great spectacle. We have no taste in the present age for a bull-fight, an auto da fe, or a re ligious war. Whenever the performance may com mence we know we have something disagreeable to go through; we are, therefore, a little impatient to have it over as soon as possible. Why, then, is not the curtain pulled up ? Why do we still hear little more than the tuning of the instruments ? By this time at least the first act ought to have been got over. As to the taking of Tetuan, it was expected to occupy only the first scene of the enter tainment. This boggling about, moving along a little fringe of seacoast, and this hesitation to at tack the Mussulman herdsmen who are encamped just out of the range of the Spanish rifled cannon, is by no means what we were invited to admire. When we found that this Holy War was deter mined upon, we had hoped to see in it something as little sanguinary, and, if not as comical, at least as picturesque as possible. We had all proposed to ourselves that the grave Spaniard with his solid regiments would form on the Arican coast and march stcadiiy onwards from post to post and from city to city ; while tho children of the Prophet would scamper before him in every variety of grotesque attitude of haste. We had expected to hear in de scription how " Paterfamilias" of Morocco found himself encumbered by the multiplicity of his domestic felicities and impeded in his flight by their number and portliness. We had anticipated vivid accounts of villages with all their inhabitants as sembled round the O'Donnell of the ninth Crusade, their heads on the earth and their haunches in the air, declaring themselves ready to listen to all the General's arguments against the Prophet. But, in stead of all this, the ridicule really seems to glance towards the other side. Unless the Spaniards soon make up their minds to march these twenty-one miles we shall begin to think that they are not, with all their artificial advantages, so much better than the Moors as we thought they were.—Times. 2111 S DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Tho quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day was only moderate, yet, on the whole, there was a fair show of samples. Good and fino samples were in moderate re quest, at full quotations. Otherwise, the demand ruled somewhat heavy at late currencies. In foreign wheat—the show of which was tolerably good —very little was passing. Prices, however, were supported. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten tion. We had a fair demand for barley at full quotations. So few transactions took place in malt that the currencies were almost nominal. The eat trade was firm, and good sound corn was the turn dearer. Beans, peas, and flour commanded full prices, but the business done was only moderate. Flour. 630 THAMES. FEIIOCIOtTS ASSAULT.—A WAGGON ROBBERY PRE VENTED.—Joseph Dennis, a tall ruffian, who is well known to the police, and has been mixed np with many of the serious horse and cart robberies in the district was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with attempting to steal goods from a waggon, and with committing a mur derous assault on Mr. Edwin Stiff, a butcher, carrying on business in Cable. street, Wellclose-square. Mr. Stiff, who had received very severe punishment, and whose face was bruised, is a most respectable tradesman. Ife has been a great sufferer by thieves in his own shop, and has often materially assisted the police. Last night he was standing at his shop door and saw a heavily-laden •waggon drawn by two horses passing along the street. The carman in charge of the waggon and a boy were on a box 41, front. The goods were covered with a tarpaulin, tire end of which was hanging loosely behind. A man was behind the van with his head concealed under the tarpaulin in the act of removing one of the bales of goods close to the tail of the van. The prisoner and two others were follow ing a short distance behind the waggon ready to receive anything that might be removed. He followed the waggon with the determination of calling the attention of the police to the operations of the gang, who appeared evidently dis concerted when they saw him watching them. He followed the waggon about 150 yards, when the prisoner suddenly rushed across the street and struck him a heavy blow on the eye with his clenched fist and knocked him down. His eye was cut open and he bled copiously. The prisoner beat him and kicked him while ho was upon the ground, and he was nearly stunned with the blows, and should have been murdered if he had not entered An oil shop and sought protection. Police-constable Langton, No. 128 H, heard cries of `' Police ! " and " Murder I " last night. He found the prosecutor covered with blood and quite exhausted, and the prisoner engaged in a deperate struggle with people who were trying to secure him. He soon succeeded in taking the prisoner into custody. Inspector Griffin, of tho X division, here said the prisoner was a regular waggon thief. Police-sergeant Barnes and Police-constable Dunnway, of the II division, said the prisoner had been twice convicted for stealing goods out of waggons, and he had been six times in custody for assaults on the police and others, and repeatedly fined and imprisoned. The prisoner was the most dangerous thief and rufflian in the district. Mr. Yardley directed Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, to take the depositions formally, and committed the prisoner for trial on two charges—for attempting to steal goods and far the assault on Mr. Stiff.

THE SCOTCH RAILWAY AMALGAMA.- TIOIV QUESTION. A special meeting of the Merchant Company was •held on Friday, in Edinburgh, for the purpose of considering a motion, of which notice had been given by Mr. Josiah Livingston, to the following effect That a special committee be appointed for the purpose of co-operating with other public bodies in concerting and carrying out the most strenuous opposition to the proposed amalgamation of the Caledonian, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Scottish Central' Railways." Mr. Charles Cowan, Master, presided. Mr. JOSIAH LIVINGSTON at some length proposed the above resolution. Ile referred to the successful opposition made to a similar scheme in 1853, and said the *cost of that battle to the public bodies in Edinburgh was £2,400. But let them look at the matter in the shape of a debtor and creditor account. He found that the ordinary rate on goods between Edinburgh and Glasgow while the amalgamation was contemplated was lls. Bd. per ton ; but in 1854 after the amalgamation scheme was defeated, it fell to Bs. 10d. per ton, being a difference of 25 per cent. The traffic in 1852-53 averaged £4,500 per week, so that the gain to the public (not the loss to the railway) was at the rate of £1,125 per week, or £58,500 per annum, certainly a very satisfactory return for the capital expended. Now, he would suppose that the railways got this bill carried through, and what would the consequence be in a pecuniary shape ? He believed it was not a very ex travagant supposition to make, that the rates would be raised at least ten per cent. The amount of traffic on the Edinburgh and Glasgow last week was £5,648-ten per cent. on this - would be £562 per week, £2,248 per month, £29,224 per unnum, taken from the pockets of the public. Taken from the public but not pocketed by the railway companies, for they wo u ld a l wa y s fi n d that a rise of rates was not a rise of returns. The traffic fell off in nearly an equal proportion, but it was no less on that account taken from the public ; it was taken from them either in money or in money's worth—in money if they had to pay the increased rate, in money's worth if they were thereby deprived of the accommodation which, by taking advantage of it at the lower rate, they had shown to be worth that rate to them. In other words, if they allowed this bill to pass ;-for the grudging of £2,400, which the opposition cost - them before, they should even on this most' moderate calculation be mulcted of this sum every month. Mr. DAVID M'LAREN seconded the motion. He' said that the railway interest was becoming so powerful in Parlitment that the general interests of the public were scarcely regarded, and the rail way companies themselves had a sort of parliament to which their leading men were sent, where they united their interests as against the public ; and he believed the time was not distant when a league would have to be formed in order to protect the interests of the private citizen and trader against this combined monopoly, with which it was quite useless for individuals to contend. He held that railway power had "increased, was increasing, and ought to be diminished." Mr. T. G. STEVENSON hoped a strenuous oppo sition would be given to the amalgamation, for if it succeeded he believed they would not only have to pay double fares, but the rate s f or goo d s wou ld be immediately raised. The MASTER said—The object of the amalgama tion bill was substantially to produce efficiency and economy in the working of the different companies, and if means were taken to secure that the interests of the trading community would not be injuriously affected. If they should see that there was no mate rial raising of the rates proposed, or that clauses could be introduced for the peotection of trade, he thought the question was well worthy of their con sideration in that view. The Chamber of Com merce had agreed to consider any representation that might be made to them by the railway com panies for the purpose of protecting their interests, but he did not think it the least likely that the railway companies would come to them. It was for the mercantile bodies, haling seen the bill, which was now printed, and a copy of which had been sent to him, to put themselves in communication with the railway companies if they felt themselves aggrieved. If they were altogether opposed to the amalgamation and would not go into details, ho could understand them ; bat he thought it would be very foolish, considering the enormous power of these companies and the great funds at their dis posal—(hear, hear)—to enter into any contest with them. He thought at least they would do them selves no harm by seeking an interchange of 'views with the railway companies. He admitted that under the proposed bill, which he had not expected, several of the rates were considerably raised, and es far the mercantile • community might have good cause for remonstrance and representation ; but at the same time they would allow him to say this, that all the railways were monopolies in the district which they served, with the ex ception, perhaps, of the termini. Take the ease of the Landon and North Western, which was an immense series and aggregate of amalgamations extending from London to Carlisle, aid they had on that railway the most moderate rates, and he had never heard a whisper of dissatis faction with these amalgamations. Mr. DUNCAR ITLARIN asked Mr. Cowan if he Would state what was the difference in the rates for goods and passengers on the Edinburgh and Glas gow as compared with the North-Western ? Mr. COWAN said that the London and North Western rates for passengers were 21d.. 2d., and ld. By the proposed Amalgamation Bill they would be respectively 3d., 2d., and I.ld. For coals the London and North Western charged per mile per ton for less than fifty miles, and Id. for over fifty miles. By the proposed amalgama tion the rates would be 2 1 5 d. for twelve miles, and 2d. for fifty miles. Mr. J. F. MACFATtLAN urged the most decided opposition to the amalgamation. Mr. D. M‘LAREN said the policy which the com pany had all along pursued in reference to the pro posed amalgamation had been amply justified by the information which they had now received as to the increase of rates to take place on the conveyance of goods between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The statement made at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce 'was to the effect that if they would meet with the railway directors, the latter were prepared to concede a good deal in the way of lowering the rates. The chamber took the liberty of doubting the correctness of that opinion : and the wisdom of that course had been confirmed by what the chairman had stated. (Hear, hear.) They had been favoured with very accurate tables of the rates charged by the London and North Western, the present rates of the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the rates proposed to be charged by the latter under the Consolidation Bill. These tables showed a proposed increase in almost every particular on the already comparatively high rates charged by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. Take, for instance, bar iron ; the rate per ton was to be raised from 21d. to 3d. per mile, while the charge upon the London and North Western was only lad. under fifty miles, and ld. a mile for fifty miles and upwards; so that the Edinburgh and Glasgow rates were not only much higher at present, but they were to be further increased. A similar increase was, he saw, to take place in other articles. For ex ample, the rate for sugar on the London and North- Western was 23d. and 2d., under and above 50 miles; on the Edinburgh and Glasgow line it was at pre sent 20., but it was to be increased under the Con solidation Bill to 3d. ; then the . rate for cotton, which was at present 21d. and 33d., was to be in creased to 4d.; and so on with regard to other arti cles. These were some of the fruits promised already by that amalgamation which the chairman had hoped would have tended to lower instead of increas ing the rates. He thought the information now pro duced amply justified the chamber in opposing the proposed measure. (Hear.) Another thing which had been stated was that the effect of the amalga mation that had taken place in connection with the London and North-Western lines had been not to increase the prices, but the reverse. But it ought to be remembered that the amalgamations on those lines were altogether of a different charactwereer fr om those proposed in the prese nt case. all of the nature of elongating the l e in n e d , e o e r an ta a k N in e g rth in . new branches; and instead of the L ed th li e ne t , r a ade to the s was the Wystern gteewttninsgalaeng monopolyits principal ex t e of both to Manchester object here, the very opposite result took place, and it met with new competitors and Liverpool. The Great Northern had now an entrance into Manchester, and the Great Western into Liverpool, to both which towns the London and North -Western had the exclusive entrance till within the last few years. In short, the progress and tendency of the railway amalgamation in the south was to break up monopoly and introduce free trade in railway communication ; but the very con verse was what was proposed here; we had free trade already, and it was proposed that we should give it up for a monopoly. Under . these circum stances, and for the reasons so ably advanced by Mr. Livingston, he thought there should be no hesitation as to the company, and the inhabitants of Edinburgh generally, giving this amalgamation scheme their most determined opposition. (Cheers.) Mr. Livingston's motion was then unanimously adopted. A movement is on foot for a submarine cable across the 30 miles between Land's-end and the Scilly Islands, which would then be the best port of call for ships arriving at the Channel for orders. Is an advanced wes tern station the point would also be one of great advantage at any time for a naval rendezvous. The expense would be altogether insignificant, and a subsidy for the purpose is being sought from the Government on national grounds. WIFE MURDER IN AMERICA. (From the New York Tribune.) On the afternoon of Friday last the inhabitants of Wells River, Vt., and vicinity, were thrown into a state of wild excitement by the committal of a dreadful murder. The scene was the little village ; of \Voodsville, in the northern part of Haverhill, N.H., just opposite Wells River (Vt.) Village. The victim was a beautiful woman, some twenty-four years of age, the wife of Franklin S. Wright, and the murderer her own husband. It is but a few years since they. were married at Wells River, not long after which they went to Bradford, Vt., where they lived six years. In the early part of last September they removed to Woods vine, and in connection with another family, by the name of Deming, occupied an old, unpainted, two-storey house, about one fourth of a mile from the depot. On Thanksgiving day, Wright and his Wilily had visited at his father's, distant between 1 and 2 miles. The fol lowing lay, with his wife and sister. he walked over to Wells River, less than a mile, and after making some purchases, they returned together semi after noon, talking pleasantly. Soon after reaching home he stepped out of the kitchen into an adjoining bed room, and lay down on the bed. About 3 o'clock he arose, and coming out, told his sister to leave the house fythwith, although he had. previously asked hor to remain all night. She immediately put on her cloak, while Wright ordered his wife's brother, who chanced to be present, to be off, and directly sprang upon his wife, as she stood leaning over the stove, attending to the stewing of a few apples. Holding a butcher knife in one hand he seized her with the other, and crushed her down upon the floor as she imploringly exclaimed, " Why, Frank, what do you mean ?" while her brother, sadly de ficient in courage and presence of mind, ran for the neighbours. 'Wright stood astride his prostrate wife thrusting at her repeatedly . with the knife, regardless of the screams of his two youngest chil dren, twin girls of two years; and as his sister started for the door he bounded after her and struck her vio lently upon the back, neari.y knocking her down, 'and cutting through her cloak and all her under clothing wounded her slightly, although the blade WAS very dull, especially near the Point. She escaped him, however, and fled towards Wells River, giving the alarm as she went. The assassin meanwhile burst into the apartment occupied by the family of Mr. Deming, the male members of which were absent, no one being present except Mrs. D em i ng and her daughter Mary, the former of whom ran for assistance, and, the latter went into an adjoining room and fastened the door. Wright attempted to open it, calling on her to let him in, but did not succeed in forcing the door. It would seem that he had then returned to his own rooms, and after restoring the fatal knife to its accustomed. place in the cupboard, he went into his bedroom and tried to shoot himself with a gun, snapping the cap, but missing fire. Soon the neighbours, in breathless haste; came gathering round the house, and villagers from Wells River, but all feared to go in, knowing the desperate cha racter of the man, and believing him to have fire arms within, and that he would shoot any one who should dare to enter. On the arrival of Mr. Slack, of the " Coossuck House," guards were stationed around the building, and four or five men, armed with axes and pitchforks, went into the kitchen. There the murdered woman was lying on the floor, with her feet drawn under her, and her head resting against a door. Her clothes were saturated with blood, and dark pools covered the door about her. Her countenance had a mild and pleasant expression. The men then proceeded to the bedroom, where Wright was found lying; cross wise on the b e d, w ith hi s gun b es id e him. He was instantly seized and the gun taken care of. A knife was found 'in one of his pockets, and a bottle of spirits. His captors bound him with a rope. He offered. no resistance, and assured them that there was no necessity for confining him, as he did not wish to escape. He confessed his crime, express ing much regret, and stated as a reason for the deed that his wife had been criminally intimate with his elder brother 'William, remarking, " I should like to have got one grip at Bill's throat." At various times he had conversed with his friends in relation to his domestic troubles, stating that he had caught his wife and brother William together several times, and said lie had talked with William, and told him to keep away, and he had promised to do so. It is a matter of notoriety that William seldom visited his brother's house except when in toxicated, and on one occasion lie had aroused his brother's anger to such a degree that he threatened to kill him. He had offered similar threats of vio lence to his wife, saying one night that he would have her life before morning. It is known that lie had a conversation with his brother upon this sub ject some three weeks before the time of the murder. The citizens, not awaiting the process of arrest, had 1 substituted handcuffs in place of the rope upon his wrists, and three men took him in charge, and plac ing him in a carriage with themselves, started for Haverhill Gaol just at dusk. As they were passing along, the culprit reiterated his statements concern ing his wife's infidelity with much positiveness, sa..ing lie had last seen her in the act about three weeks before. At the same time he manifested much sorrow on account of his fatal deed, weeping and moaning bitterly. The unhappy wife told Mary Deming a few days since that Frank was jealous of her, and she seemed to resent it as an indignity. On the other hand, some persons think that the pri soner's statements statements concerning his wife's inconstancy were merely fabricated for effect. It is said that Mrs. Wright maintained an unblemished reputation during her residence in Bradford, while her husbt.nd is thought to have transfc.rred his affec tions from his wife to another woman, after which he tried to obtain a divorce, but was frustrated mainly by the efforts of his sister. Upon a post mortem examination three wounds were found upon the person of the deceased. The fatal wound was in the left breast ; the blade of the knife used was seven inches long, and one and a-half inches in width. It entered just below the nipple, sever ing two ribs, thence slanting downward to the heart, making an incision in the side of it two and .a-half inches long at the base, and with a maximum depth of one and a half inches. Her death must have been instantaneous. The funeral service oc curred on Sunday, and was largely attended. The prisoner was born in Reigate, Vt., and is a shoe maker by trade. He is a rather small, thick-set man, very healthy and muscular, and has always prided himself very much upon his strength and prowess in hand-to-hand fights. He has the repu tation of a hard drinker, and for eight or ten days preceding the murder he was almost constantly under the influence of intoxicating liquor. His disposition is savage, morose, and vindictive, as his appearance indicates. He was not very indus trious, and has no property for the support of his four young children—the two eldest boys, of seven and four respectively, and the two youngest twins, as before stated. At present they find a home with their father's brother, James. The public feeling against the prisoner was so strong that mady persons proposed lynching him, instead of sending him to gaol; the better opinion prevailed, however, and on Saturday a warrant was issued, and, after examination, he was committed to await his trial next spring. " WHAT IS A QUARTER AT SCHOOL ?"—At the Wakefield County Court on Wednesday last, the Rev. Jas. Taylor, Head Master of Queen Elisabeth's Grammar pool, sued a Mr. Hall for the amount incurred by a quar ter's tuition of his two' sons, and a quarter's notice. The time for opening the school after the Christmas vacation was on the 21st of January. Mr. Hall had given notice to Mr. Taylor at Christmas that his son would leave at the end of the ensuing quarter. The eldest boy left the school on the 6th of April in the present year ; the youngest on the 21st of April. Mr. Taylor said his quarter ended on the 25th of March, and, the boys having remained at the school till the middle of April, he now claimed for a quarter up to Midsummer, and also for a quarter's notice. Ihe Judge said he thought Mr. Taylor wauld not be able to sustain his claim. People did tut always send their boys to school to a given day. It he lad given notice for Midsummer, and his boy did not come hone till the Ist of August, ho should not expect to pay for anoher half-year. The Judge (to Mr. Taylor).—Did you eve. in form Mr. Hall when your quarter ended ? Mr. Taylc.—l should have felt it us necessary to inform hint that Satirday was the end of the week. (A laugh.) He had ken a schoolmaster 30 years, and all that time his bills hd been made to terminate the quarter on .the 25th o 1 Marc:. The Judge.—Do you make any deductions where be boys are sent to school beyond the quarter-day? Mr. Taylor.—No •, he never made any deductiots. Ho never charged but for the quarter. Mr. Wesmoreland (who appeared for the defendant)—You see, your Honour, the reciprocity is all on one side. (A laugh.) M. Taylor said there was no school in the kingdom where do 25th of March was not understood to be the end of the quarter. Mr. Westmoreland—There is no school in the Imgdom where the master would insist on such a claim o•cept in Wakefield. The Judge—Do you make any distitetion iR your charges between the long and the short oaarters ? Mr. Taylor—No. The Judge—Then you take "the long with the short ; it acts both ways ? Mr. Tayor said he considered it a great injustice that he should 1e compelled to take a boy from Christmas to the middle of Arril as one quarter. His Honour considered that the plaintiff had not made out his case, and gave a verdict for the defendant, with costs.—Leeds Intelligencer. BURYING AN EMPTY COFFIN.—A curious circum stance occurred at Sandgate last week. It sppaats that a body 'Mut found ashore, and interment ordered by the co roner. The coffin was supplied and put in the shed near to where the corpse lay. The sexton, a discreet and care ful man, took the hearse for the corpse, and on inquiry was refereed to the shed, where he saw the coffin, and, with aseistance, put it in the hearse and conveyed it to the ceme tery; the clergyman read the service over it, and all was thought to be finished. In the evening, however, Mr. Graves sent to the sexton to know when he was coming for the corpse. The worthy sexton at once saw his mistake — he had buried the coffin only. The coffin was quickly dug Up, and the corpse properly interred on the next day.- 4Youth-.Eastern Gazetfe, lbw
