LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BAILEY T. BAILEY. This was a suit instituted by the wife, praying for disso lution of marriage, on account of the cruelty and adultery of her husband. The parties were married in the year 1857, and after that resided near Belvedere, in Kent, where the 'respondent carried on the business of a contracting bricklayer. For some time matters went on very well, but eventually the respondent began to treat his wife with great cruelty. He was remonstrated with by his . wife's relations, but no alteration in his line of conduct taking place, the wife left him in 1861, she having discovered that he had committed adultery with a female named Crooke. The petitioner was examined to prove the allegations of cruelty, in which she was corroborated by her mother and other witnesses. The adultery having been proved, His lordship granted a•decree COURT FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF CROWN CASES RESERVED. (Before the fifteen Judges.) James Rowton was tried before Mr. Payne at the Middle sex Sessions on Sept. 30, upon an indictment which charged him with having committed an indecent assault upon Geo. Rowe, a boy 14 years of age. Upon the part of the defendant many persons were called, who gave him an excellent cha racter as a moral and well-conducted man. On the part of the prosecution it was then proposed to contradict that evidence, and a witness was called. For the defendant it was then objected that such evidence was not receivable. Mr. Payne thought the evidence was admissible, and, after the witness had stated that he knew the defendant, the question was put—" What is the defendant's general character for de cency and morality of conduct ?" The reply was that he' knew nothing of the neighbourhood's opinion, " Because I was only a boy at school when I knew him, but my own opinion, and the opinion of my brothers, who were also pupils of his, is that his character is that of a man capable of the grossest indecency and most flagrant immorality." It was objected that this was not legal evidence. Mr. Payne considered that it was some evidence, and he left the weight and effect of it to be determined by the jury. The defen dant was convicted, and was now in prison for judgment, but he reserved two points for the opinion of this Court. First, whether, when witnesses had given a defendant a good character, no evidence was admissible to contradict it ; and, secondly, whether the answer made by the witness was properly left to the jury. This case was argued before the Court for the Considera tion of Crown Cases Reserved last Term, but the Judges of that Court not agreeing in opinion the case was ordered to be re-argued before all the Judges. This having been done, their Lordships gave their deci sion, the effect of which was that the conviction was quashed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET THE CABMEN AND THE INCLEMENT WEATHER.—Richard °hovel], badge 15,566, Wm. Wallis, badge 10, 483, Selby, 6,686, and Alfred Spensley, 13,883, were charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk during their employ. Mr. Knox, after the evidence of the constables, and find ing that no mischief had been caused by the defendants, re marked thathe had no wish to be hard with the defendants, for the previous was a fearful night, and was some excuse for the defendants taking a little too much. The defendants were all discharged. Polar Expeditions. Captain Sherard Osborn has written the follow ing letter to the Times _ . "Sir,—l am not, of course, surprised at your being opposed to further Arctic research. We have been antagonists upon this point ever since 1850, and, as you know well, we succeeded in pressing on the search for Franklin until the North-West Pas sage was discovered, all the geography of the lands and waters between Baffin's Bay and Behring's Straits accurately explored, and the mystery of Franklin's fate perfectly solved. Fair and whole some opposition therefore will only stimulate us the more to persevere to the end,' and I own to you I would ten times sooner have the Times against us than have the Times contemptuously silent. It tells me that the subject does recommend itself as a right and honourable employment for our navy to the minds .of many of your readers. You hope that they will take your view of the subject; I hope that they will think for themselves, and allow Arctic travellers and men of science to know something of their business. " You and your correspondent A Fellow' fall into one error, natural to those not intimately ac quainted with the subject. There is no analogy between the expedition I suggest to explore the Polar area in 1866 and Franklin's expedition in 1854. He sailed with two ships to traverse 1,600 miles of a blank unknown area called the North-West Passage. We do not desire to pass in ships beyond points already frequently reached, and whence our men can retreat in perfect safety to Upernavik. We leave the work over the unknown area round our Pole to be done by sledge parties ; we ask them to do as much as has been already accomplished with sledges and no more ; and I challenge any one to show me in Arctic exploration A, single case of disaster to a sledge party beyond the drowning of one officer and a few frost bites to men. These points were parti cularly dwelt upon by our learned and amiable pre sident, Sir Roderick Murchison, and I believe thoroughly understood by all present at our crowded meeting. However, this I know well, that when the future explorer of the Polar area does return to this country, having achieved another great geographical discovery, you will, in spite of your present objec tion to Arctic enterprise and science, be the first to come forward and add your chaplet to the naviga tor's honour, and I own, for one, that I would far sooner hear you, as the editor of the Edinburgh. Re view is said to have done in former times, d- the Poles !' than treat the matter, as tradition has it the First Sea Lord contemptuously did by saying, when the excited sailor knocked him up at an early hour to report the 'rescue of M'Clure and the discovery of the North-West Passage,' Bother you, sir ! make your report at proper office hours.'

William Hopton, 245 B, said that at 11 o'clock last night he was in plain clothes in Vauxhall-bridge road, when he heard the defendant accost a gentleman and solicit alms. He did not get anything, and then came up to witness and asked him to give him a half-penny to make up his night's lodging. Witness told him he was a police-constable and took him into custody. _ _ Mr. Selfe—What did you find upon him? Constable—Only fivepence three farthings, your worship. Defendant in reply to the charge said, that he was a native of Bath, Somersetshire, who had come to London in search of employment as a stonemason. He had been un fortunately taken ill, and while in that state had parted with what little he possessed, and had been driven by the most absolute necessity to beg. He had had a job promised him, to cut some stone at Battersea next week, and only wanted a little employment to set him right. He had just recovered from a severe attack of rheumatism, and had he been exposed to the severity of the weather last night, by laying about the streets, it would have settled him. He had no roof to shelter him, and was endeavouring to pro cure enough for a bit of food and a night's lodging, when he unfortunately accosted the complainant, not knowing that he was a policeman. Mr. Selfe—ls the defendant known ? The police—He is a perfect stranger. We do not know anything of him. Defendant—l have only been a very short time in Lon don. I would not have begged, but I could not stop out all night in such weather. Mr. Selfe—You are discharged. While lam determined to punish to the fullest extent the professional beggar, I can make every allowance for a man being driven, as in your case, to offend for once against the law. THAMES. MOCK AUCTIONS.—A man and his wife, named Phillips, complained to Mr. Paget of being defrauded of 305., in a mock auction-shop, in the Commercial-road, near the court, of which many complaints have been made. Mrs. Phillips and her sister were passing the mock auc tion-shop, in Grenada-place, and hearing the cries of "going, going, gone," entered the shop. They were soon parted by a woman, one of the mock auction gang, and when a silver watch was put up for sale, persuaded both to bid, and avail themselves of an opportunity of a bargain. The merits of a "fine silver hunting watch, of the best manufacture, worth at least 10 guineas" was extolled, and the watch was knocked down to Mrs. Phillips for £l. She went up to the rostrum to pay for the watch and secure it, but the auctioneer insisted that the sister of Mrs. Phillips had bidden 305., and re fused to part with the watch until that sum was paid. The confederates in the shop all insisted that 30s. was bid for the watch, the two women were abused, bullied and talked at and paid the money, glad to escape from the place with whole bones. Mr. Phillips produced a worthless silver watch, valued at ss. Mr. Phillips said that Mr. Rogers, of 67, Park-street, Bromley, and Mrs. Wilson, of No. 104; White Horse-street, had been defrauded of their money in the same room. Mr. Griffin, inspector of police, said he had placed men at the door of the mock auction shop to warn people against being defrauded. Mr. Taplin, a summoning officer of the court, said there were several mock auction shops in the district. One or two gangs were connected with all of them. Mr. Paget said he would leave the case in the hands of Taplin, and the complaining parties retired with that officer. The Yelverton Case, In the First Division of the Court of Session on Thursday the Solicitor-General addressed their lordships on the mo tion for Mrs. Yelverton that the whole case should be re ferred to the oath of Major Yelverton. He commenced by referring to the origin of the litigation, which he said had been first begun by Miss Longworth by her raising an action of declarator in August, 1858, which she afterwards withdrew. The action for putting to silence Miss Long worth was not raised till June, 1859. He said the decla rator, at Miss Longworth's instance, disclosed the fact that Major Yelverton had married Mrs. Forbes, who had there fore a clear interest in the case, as, in the event of Miss Longworth succeeding in the action, her marriage with Major Yelverton would be null, and she would not bo his wife. • Lord Deas—That is, because by the law of this country no man can have two wives. The Solicitor-General said that Mrs. Forbes had also several children by her marriage in fade ecelesiaa with Major Yelverton, and they therefore had an interest in the case. He then went on to contend that the allowing a reference to oath was entirely a matter of discretion with the Court, and which they would determine according to the circumstances of the case. He held that these circumstances were clearly of that nature as to justify the Court in refusing the application to them to do so. He went into a long argument, in which he con tended that if Major Yelverton answered in the affirma tive, he would expose himself to be tried for two crimes, viz., that of bigamy and of adultery. For the crime of bigamy he could be punished, and for that of adultery he could, by the law of Scotland, suffer a capital punishment. He considered that it was not proper to put a man in the predicament of possibly rendering himself liable to be tried for a crime. Then a man might, by having the ques tion put to him whether he had married another woman than the woman whom he lived with as his wife, contrive to have that wife divorced from him, and be entitled to live with another woman. Their lordships, if they allowed the reference to oath, sanctioned such a device which might be resorted to. Their lordships took the points to avizandum. THE BERLIN CABMEN. —According to the Zrenz Zeiteng, the Berlin cabmen are beginning to forget where the House of Deputies is situated. Parlia mentary government has, in other words, been almost buried in oblivion. On the first day of the session a deputy jumped into a cab, and said to the driver, "Drive to the House of Deputies." Driver answers, "Where to ?' Deputy, " Why don't you keep your ears open ?—to the House of Deputies." Driver, "To the House of Deputies ! —Where's 'that ?" Deputy, "You don't know where the House of Deputies is ? Why, on the Donhofs Plats, to be sure !" Driver (scratching his head), "On the Donhofs Plats ?—Oh, yes, to be sure ! We had quite forgotten all about that." POULTRY.

FIGHTING FOR A SWEETHEART. A novel en counter took place in our churchyard on Sunday last, the dispute arising in this way :—An amiable young lady "of sweet seventeen," of prepossessing appearance, has won the affection of two of our swains. It may not be so, but she seems to feel with the writer of the old ditty— " How happy could I be with either, Were t'other•dear charmer away ! " On Sunday last she attended Divine service at the Wesleyan Chapel, and on leaving the sacred edifice was encountered by the two rivals for her affections, both of whom contended for the privilege of seeing the fair one " safe home." As the young lady gave no decided pre ference for either, both sons of the soil accompanied her to the churchyard. Here the young men came to words, which on both sides were deemed a cams UN. Off went hats, and up went fists, a fierce battle ensuing. There was no one in authority to interpose, and the young lady for some time was the only spectator. On hearing her exclaim, " Don't fight, and I will go with you both," the combat ceased. Hats were ex changed in the conflict, for both heads were exactly alike, and away the trio marched, the combatants on either side of the fair inamoiata.—Shelield Telegraph. SINGULAR GAME CASE.—On the 11th of October Thos. T. Whitehurst and John Whitehurst, gentle men, driving along a road towards the Oaks Farm, in the county of Salop, where they were going to shoot on land occupied by thir sister, stopped their trap, and John White hurst alighted, and was seen to go into a field and shoot a hare, and bring it to his brother, who had remained in the trap. Both were summoned before the Justices by Stacey, the gamekeeper to Mr. De G. Warter, on a charge that John Whitehurst "did unlawfully commit a certain trespass by going into a field in search and pursuit of game—to wit, a hare—without any right to enter or be in the field for the purpose aforesaid, contrary to the statute in such case made and provided; and the said - Thos. T. Whitehurst was then and there present, aiding and abetting the said John White hurst to commit the offence." The justices convicted Joh n Whitehurst, and fined him 40s. ; but on behalf of T. T. Whitehurst it was contended that he was not there for an unlawful purpose, and the summons was dismissed. This decision was appuled against, and the questions submitted to the Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday were, whether T. T. Whitehurst was an aider and abetter in the trespass, and whether the dismissal by the magistrates was valid or otherwise. The Lord Chief Justice said the question was, Did the mind of the respondent go with the mind of the shooter who shot the hare ? He was of opinion the case ought to bo sent back to the magistrates. If the magis trates came to the conclusion that the parties were engaged in a common unlawful purpose, and that one was in the road to watch, and when the trespass was committed to carry off the produce of it, clearly they were both guilty, and the magistrates should have found them both guilty. The other judges concurred. A BURIED CITY IN JAVA.—It is asserted that a photographer, who has been employed by the Dutch Go vernment to take views of the most beautiful points on the Island of Java, has discovered an entire city buried beneath the lava of a volcano close by, which has been extinct for several centuries.

The peace rumours from America have completely upset the market, and the demand to-day is very small, at reduced rates. Sales about 1,000 bales. A report has been issued by the directors of the London and Venezuela Bank pending the meeting of shareholders to be held next May, detailing the operations of the company. The decree of the Go vernment last July empowers the bank to issue notes to the extent of twice the effective capital in its hands. Business was to have been commenced on the 2d inst., and the London directors gave notice that they have decided to allow 6 per cent. per an num on money deposited in England for six months certain. At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs J. G. Hill, H. W. Weguelin, and E. I. Smith trading as Hill and Weguelin, Russia merchants, the balance-sheet presented by the accountants Messrs. Cooper Brothers and Co., showed liabilities amounting to £29,547 18s. 4d., and assets to £22,520 15s. 10d., leaving a deficiency of £7,027 2s. 61. It was ultimately resolved to appoint a committee of four of the creditors to investigate the accounts, and report the result of, their delibera tions to a future meeting. Two WOMEN CONVICTED OF POACHING.—An extraordinary case was heard at the Market Har borough petty sessions last week. Two women, Eliza Collis, the wife of a poacher, and Rebecca Rooke, the wife of another poacher, were charged, under Lord Berners' Act, with entering fields with gun, nets, &c. It appeared that a police-constable was on duty on the night of Dec. 30, when ho watched the hous o of Collis, and suspected he was out p oa ching. Next morning he was again on duty, when he saw the defendants on the Leicester-road. He stopped Collis, and found her bundle contained seven rabbits. Rooke escaped. The magistrates fined the defendants £1 each and costs. A case for a superior court was granted. COLLIERY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF THREE LIVES. On Thursday, an explosion of fire-damp took place at Morley Main colliery, the property of Messrs. Ackroyd Brothers, whereby three persons were killed. The ex plosion occurred in a p art of the mine at a c onsiderable di s t an ce from the pit - ey e, and in a se am cal l e d the Little Priestly, of Morley, were working with aged 27, of Gildersome : and Coal. In this place, Jolua Clayton, aged 15 years, hurrier, M n S a ao k mr e lue d eyl;j lights, eGsse:Prg'George aged pe w hen the damp fired, and they were killed instantly. The explosion took place at 9 o'clock a.m., but it was a quarter to 12 before the first body could be re covered, on account of the after-damp. It was that of the boy Clayton, and was found to be horribly mangled. In less than an hour the corpses of the other deceased were brought to the surfac e, but both were m uc h burnt, and like the boy, but to a less extent, the y sho w ed the effects of a violent explosion, but they were much mutilated. 91 93 131 132 ti 6i 32 34 16 17 87 8J 107 1,9 46 47 7 8 134 136 154 15i 129 .3. 90 92 sli SO, 59 6) 47 49 102 101 1161 117 81 65 1081 1091 36 38 1 21 322 i 981 99i 61 <33 129 130 21 2pl 133,E 1 . 69 1 107 119 i 54 55 z 6 27 113 114 71 72 1031 1011 38 39 114 120 D 94 10p 122 125 114 12 1 14p 79 8u 11 114 138 142 93 45 (0 81 N 54 87 3 / 4 83 - 0 - 1 , 160 165 3i Vp 110 113 39 41 75 78 ISIONS• 57 5 9 100 101 par IP 44 5 0; 75 6) 95 98 75 85 ICO 102 100 101 100 101 19 20 E 9 91 67 69 58 60 6t 63 54 56 50 63 45 98 26 28 25 27 loa 101 id p par p 93 101 81 91 ltd lld 85 i•O 78 E 2 99 d 101 9: 94 88 9J 61 63 3 5 82 81 99 100 9 ► ICO d i 100 lulp 94 97 toci I 1 - - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. __- - BETTING AT MANCHESTER—F=4Y.

Hitherto various announcements have appeared, to which only the term "rumour" could be applied, but the sale is now completed, the sum being £ll,OOO and various contingencies for the two horses, the buyer being Mr. Chaplin, of Lincoln. On its being known that the horses were to remain in training at Langholm Wold, under Mr. I'Anson's charge, the plea sure expressed by the Maltonians was as intense as if the , Derby was already won. Mr. I'Anson is a lucky man to have a succession of "sensation" horses. He not only refused £15,000 for Blair Athol, but also £30,000 for the Blink Bonny family. Blair Athol was recently sold for the stud at £7,500 ; therefore it will be seen that Mr. I'Anson has in two months sold three horses for the extraordinary sum of £18,500. He has still in his possession the following mares of this famous blood :—Queen Mary, Bab-at-the- Bowater (sister to Balrownie), Caller Ou, Bonny Breast Knot, Bonny Bell, and Borealis, besides younger stock. This blood (the Queen Mary dynasty) has never been known to have either curb, spavin, or ringbone, or to breed a roarer. Queen Mary, by Gladiator, was the foundress of this remarkable dynasty. She is now in foal to Stockwell, has a yearling colt by Rataplan, and a two-year-old (Bertee) by Newminster. She bred Haricot (dam of Caller Ou, winner of the St. Leger), Braxey; Balrownie (fourth for the Leger), Blooming Heather (Gorse and Maid Marian's dam), Bonnie Scotland (who ran dead heat with Artillery for second place in Leger), Blink Bonny (winner of the Derby and Oaks, and dam of Blair Athol, winner of the Derby and Leger), Balnamoon, Bab-at-the-Bowater, Bonny Breast Knot, Bonny Bell, &c.; therefore Mr. I'Anson is yet well in for future "realisa tions." Breadalbane is brother to Blair Athol, but of a larger frame, and, in consequence of Blink Bonny's death, was suckled by a cart mare. Bromielaw is half brother, being by Stockwell, out of Queen Mary. The public hang to the former most, as being nearer akin to Blair Athol, but Mr. I'Anson does not himself know which of these kinsmen is the better horse. Both were wisely kept in last year, and the delicate growing youngsters are now the admiration of the sporting world. As untried horses their prices are something marvellous. DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.—Since this meeting has been taken in hand by the corporation the added money has been increased, in order to secure a good meeting. The United Hunt Stakes, with 50 added; the Londesborough Plate, with 100 added ; the Don Steeplecase, with 50 added; and the Chesterfield Handicap, with 100 added, all close and name on Feb. 7. It will be seen that the Hunt Stakes is now thrown open to all England, which will be doubt less the means of procuring a larger entry. The late Mr. W. Cooper's stud will be sold by Messrs Tattersall, at Banbury, on Wednesday next, Feb. 1. Those who knew Mr. Cooper, or who have seen him go over a country, will easily understand the good sort of horse he would have ; whilst amongst the many winners bred at Farnborough-hill were The Mite, The Morsel, The Miner, Odiham, Black Bess, Hungerford, and Meanwood. There is some of this blood' still in the catalogue, and the day be ing an easy " out and in," the run down may be well worth all the money. CATTERICK BRIDGE RACES.-071 Tuesday, Feb. 7, the following stakes will close and name for these races :—The Oran Stakes of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 added, for two-yr olds, T.Y.C. ; the Hornby Handicap of 7 sovs each, 5 ft, and 2 if declared, &c., for three-yr-olds and upwards, with 50 added ; the Brough Handicap of 50 soya, added to a Sweepstakes of 7 sovs each, 5 ft, and 2 if declared, &c.

A permanent stand will be erected, and the first fixture will be the 17th and 18th of August. Further particulars will be duly announced. The business arrangements of the meeting have been entrusted to a well-known and influential official. SALE OF BREADALBANE AND BROOMIELAW.-Mr. I'Anson informs us that ho has sold Breadalbano and Broomielaw to Mr. Chaplin for £ll,OOO, with its contingencies, but that they remain in his stable. The sum is an unprecedented ono for two " dark" horses to fetch, and we hope, for the sake of their plucky purchaser,7,they will provo worth the money. The Fitzwilliam Hunt Steeple Chases are fixed to take place at Walton, near Peterborough, on Thursday, Feb. 23, and the following noblemen and gentlemen have consented to act as stewards :—Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Proby, Hon. C. W. Fitzwilliam, and W. Wells, R. Bell, and R. Bird, Esqs. Four races are advertised, and £145 added money. WAnwreK SPRING MEETING.—The Trial Stakes, the Willoughby Handicap, the Two Year Old Stakes of 25 sovs. each, the Great Warwickshire, the Two Year Old Race of 5 sovs. and 50 added, the Hurdle Race, and the Grand Annual Steeple Chase close and name on the first Tuesday in February. Blackheath and Woolwich Flat Races and Steeple Chases, in consequence of the extreme severity of the weather, have been postponed to Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 7 and 8. A meeting, combining flat and cross country racing, has also been fixed at the above place for April 17. THE ROGUE.—The owner of this horse, dissatisfied with the heavy impost (11st 121 b) put on him for the Harrow Steeple Chase, struck him 'out of that, as well as his other engagement at Harrow, soon after the weights appeared. OXFORD RACES.—We aro requested by the committee to state that, in consequence of difficulties that have arisen as to the use of the Port Meadow for a race course, they are compelled to abandon this meeting. THE DONNINGTON PLATE AT WARWICK.—We are autho rised to state by the owner of Walloon that this horse was not struck out of the above stake, either by himself or any one having any control over the said horse. The following horses have arrived at H.Hadloy's, Prest bury, near Cheltenham ; Arcus, aged ; Leicester, aged ; colt by Leamington, 3 yrs ; Edith, 5 yrs ; and filly by Am sterdam out of Brown Bonnet, 2 yrs.

Detailed particulars will appear next juries. week. , WRANGLE COMMON STEEPLECHASES.—This littlo meeting, which was established last year, is fixed to come off on Thursday, March 2, and open and local races are advertised, the added money amounting to £75. Mr. Fleming sent a few of his horses to Hyde-park-corner on Monday last, but only Valour, by Vengeance out of Velleda, was sold to Mr. Ellam for 500 gs. Mr. Wallace's Lady Godiva is struck out of all her engagements. She is half-bred and by Windhound, and not by Newcourt, out of Kitty Shoby. We are requested to state that Sandal, 4 yrs, was struck out of the Lincoln Handicap to Messrs. Weatherby on the appearance of the weights. Mr John Robinson, of Hutton Rudby, has sold his black or brown mare Valentine, 5 yrs, winner of several prizes for best hunters, to Mr. B. W. Harker, of Clapton, for 120 gs. CHANGE OF FlXTURE.—Coventry Steeplechases and Flat Races will take place on Thursday, March 16, instead of Feb. 13, as mentioned last week. The brown colt by Mountain Deer out of Stork's darn has recently been added to the list of geldings, and has joined G. Milne's string at Barham. THE PItINCE of WALES.—It is stated that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will honour Lincoln Races with his presence, and the Blankley Hall will be his resi dence for the time being. Lord Zetland's promising three-year-old St. Magnus had a fall whilst at exercise a short time since, and it may be some time before he is "himself again."

The Late Fatal Accident at Westminster. The following is a list of the persons most severely injured at present lying at the Westminster Hos pital:— Mary Ansbury, fractured arm, fractured ribs, and con cussion of the brain ; this is a very serious case. A woman whose name is unknown, and who has notyot been identified in any way, has fractured ribs, severe comminuted fracture of the leg, and fractured arm. She has been insensible ever since she was brought into the hospital, and no hopes whatever can be reasonably enter tained of her recovery. Ann Keeley has sustained a compound comminuted fracture on the nasal and maxilliary bones, and severe Lacerated wound in the face. This is also a case ivhich is hopeless. Eliza Shaw has also a lacerated wound on the forehead, a fracture on the frontal bone a - ad concussion on the brain. The surgeon gives but very little hope of this case. Mary Neil has fractured ribs and lacerated Wound on the face. Mary Cooper has comminuted fracture of the clavicle), ractured ribs, and lacerated wound on the forehead.. Agnes Magrath, a little girl, has fractured ribs and frac_ ',tired humerus. James Magrath, father of the above-mentioned patient, Las fractured scapula, and his foot has sustained severe injuries. Margaret Downing has compound fracture of the arm and concussion of the spine ; this is another case which it is much to be feared will have a fatal termination. Ellen Shaw, sister of the previously mentioned inmate of the hospital, has severe lacerated wound in the arm and concussion of the spine, injuries which, like those of her sister, have but slight hopes of a favourable result. Bridget Lench has fractured femur and severe contusions of her back and side. Kate Scammerton has fractured clavicle, fractured arm, and severe contusions of the leg and foot.

FRENCH WINES.—The quantities of vies ordi naires exported from France in the first 11 months of last year amounted to 2,142,959 hectolitres, against 1,870,070 in 1863, and 1,697,048 in 1862 (corresponding periods). The kingdom of Italy appears to be the largest consumer of French common wines, having taken 296,333 hectolitres to November 30 last year, against 180,929 in 1863,and 131,340 in 1862. Alegeria comes next with 279,602 hectolitres to November 30 last year; then Switzerland with 256,522 ; then England with 145,270 (against 123,028 in the corresponding period of 1863, and 87,866 in 1862); then Belgium with 135,113; then the United States with 132,912 ; then the Hanse Towns with 104,455 ; then Brazil with 101,103 ; and then the German Association with 44,588. The balance of 649,062 hectolitres required to complete the total for the first eleven months of 1864 was made up by other countries not particularly designated. Although England stands only fourth in the list as a con sumer of French ordinary wines, she is by far the largest consumer of French brandies ; and even as regards the' wines just mentioned the English demand for thorn will bo seen to have considerably increased in 1863 and 1864.

Necessity drove him to the house of a gen.. tleman who, in his official duty, had superintended the execution. He recognised, relieved, and dismissed him, not being disposed to pursue the matter further. But, first, as a t physieal inquiry, asked him to describe his sensations on being turned off. He replied that he felt tho jerk, but not so acutely as to produce insensibility or even confusion. He appeared to have the power of looking above, below, and around. All was of a bright vermillion colour. An agreeable sensation then crept through his frame, until he became insensible. " But," ho added, " I can find no words to express the agony of gradually returning to consciousness Necessity, or natural bent,• or what modern cant would call " his mission," drove him back to his old trade, which drove him again to the gallows, but this time without benefit of resuscitation.—Dublin University Magazine.
