BAILLIE COCHRANE, M.P. From the Tiines, April Mr. Baillie Cochrane has published two entertaining volumes of studies from history. They are lively reading. 'My aim,' he says, has Peen 'to dc pia events generally known in a light and, if possible, a picturesque manner.' Mr. Cochrane has been quite success ful in carrying out his intention. The work is a study of the more interesting moments of history—what, indeed, the author himself calls it, ' Historic Pictures.' " PRICE 4d STAMPED 51 INDIA. Our advices from Calcutta by the present mail are no later than those already received viaßombay. The Madras Athenwum of the 27th March refers in the following terms to the Bhootan war : " It was mentioned in our last summary of Indian news that the Governor-General had determined to bring the vexatious petty war in Bhootan to a close as soon as pos sible, by the employment of a force sufficiently strong to render resistance on the part of the predatory mountaineers altogether ineffectual, should they only ham e to be encoun tered. A telegram addressed to the Lieutenant -Governor of Bengal by Lieut.-Col. Hopkinson, on Feb. 28, says The Bhooteas seems to have ceased entirely from their depredations. Preparations for hutting the Europeans aro proceeding apace. Briggs will have the road to the foot of the hills ready by the time the force want to use it." The post of Dewangiri has doubtless been reached before this time, as an attack upon it was impending when the latest accounts reached us, but whether the British troops will be able to occupy it during the rainy season, now at hand, appears to be uncertain. The Englishman states that Sir John Lawrence has asked the opinion of his Excellency the Commander-in Chief as to the practicability or expe diency of holding the place during the wet season, and that according to his advice the question will be decided. It is rather a serious one, for our contemporary observes, that after the next few weeks it may be impossible to send supplies to Dewangiri, or to keep labourers at work in making or repairing the roads leading to Dewangiri along the plains.' Already (the Friend of India informs us) the rains seem to have deluged Bhootan as heavily 11.4 they have visited Calcutta unseasonably, and disease has again shown 'itself in the British force employed. This is the greatest danger to be feared, for, although the Bhooteas aesrefcatrinasg such means of defence as lie withi n th e i r p ower, th ey mus t ine setilneteodppoto could, are re o r e f rthaunvietytaaffkeonrdeaddvtahnetnif advantage, ine vitably succumb to the amount of military strength now brought to bear upon them, which is represented in some quarters to be now as far beyond the necessity of the case, as that originally commissioned to subdue them fell below U. An to +kat point . Z , ,,A reserve our opinion, which at present inclines to a view quite contrary to that which we were originally led to entertain. The old mistake of un dervaluing the enemy seems to have been committed, and we are paying the price of the mistake. How great that may be, when sickness is added to the casualties of re newed hostility, remains to be seen. We fear, however, that the event will prove very unsatisfactory, as we have to combat with a foe much stronger than the Bhootan people, and against which numbers will avail us little. It is to be regretted that the expedition, at first undertaken during the favourable season, was not planned on a scale calculated to effect the objects which such large reinforce.. ments as have since been sent up are required to ac complish."

President Andrew Johnson, adding the Lieutenant-General to the number of victims to be murdered was no doubt seized for the fitting occasion of executing the plan that appears to have been in preparation for some weeks, but Gene ral Grant was compelled to be absent, and thus escaped the designs upon him. It is needless for me to say anything in regard of the influence which this atrocious murder of the President may exercise upon the affairs of this country ; but I will only add that, horrible as are the atrocities that have been resorted to by the enemies of the country, they are not likely in any degree to impair the public spirit or postpone the complete and final overthrow of the rebellion.

His friends are further fallen away from him, and his enemies multiplying. The Friend of India says : " The famous Kuzulbash corps have quarrelled with him ; the Ghilzees and other hill tribes, who so often served his father, incline to his enemies ; Khelat is said to have sent Beloochee reinforcements to Canclahar, and the people of Furrah and the neighbouring country have given in their allegiance to Mahomed Ameer Khan, the Can dahar chief. Nor does the Ameer fare better in his Balkh or Toorkistan dependencies, which the captive Afzul Khan conquered for Dost Mahomed, and Bokhara covets. Abdoolrahmun Khan, the son of Afzul, who through his father aspires to the throne of Cabul, is increasing in strength, and courting Persia, Bokhara, and Russia with a view to get assistance from them. The Amoer's funds seem to be running dry, and he finds difficulty in procuring ammunition." 'ORR OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To be retained by the Bankers.

On the premises there is a capital 1, 4 'al; four excellent dwelling-houses, suitable for the Tanager and employes of the Company, six cottages - °reinen, Acc., a good supply of fresh water, and an abund 'Mee of lime and building stone. It is proposed to len g th en th e present dry dock 50 feet, to construct two additional dry docks and one large float ing dock, to be divided by caissons ; also additional frontage quays, and to extend the appliances generally, with the liew of the construction and repair of iron and wooden Ships, the manufacturing of marine and other engines, armour and other plate, angle iron, and every description of iron work. For the purposes of the Company the position of the premises is not to be surpassed (as will be seen by the plan) ; they are in close proximity to Sutton Harbour, forming the seaboard of Catwater anchorage, and are completely sheltered, first by the Plymouth Breakwater, and next by the peninsula of Mount Batten, in addition to which the approaches to the premises are completely corn- Mended by the guns of the citadel.

The railway conveys the tourist to Resina, a strange village, which is regularly swallowed up at each eruption, and as regularly rebuilt by the inhabitants, who know perfectly well when it is time to remove, and when to return. This obstinate adherence to a place doomed to Periodical destruction is easily explained by the unex ampled fertility of the soil, manured as it is by volcanic ashes, decomposed lava, and trachytic effiorescences. From Resina you go on mules to the hermitage of San Salve core, and from that point upwards you must trust to your own legs. Before ascending the great cone of ashes, one finds oneself in a valley called Atrio de Cavallo, about 500 yards in breadth. This valley separates the cone of eruption from the Somma, a rock chiefly consisting of araphigenite. As the cone of Mount Vesuvius seems to date from the the great eruption of the year 79, which destroyed Stabiai, Herculaneum, and Pompeii, and, as until that period, Mount Vesuvius had been considered an extinct volcano, some authors have con cluded rather too hastily that the Somma was the old crater spoken of by the ancients, and that the present Mount Vesuvius had gradually formed itself at its foot. In an able letter from Naples, addressed to the Moniteur by M. Jules Nougaret, this opinion is contradicted, the writer considering the Somma as having, at an extremely early period, formed part of:the bed of the sea, and been subsequently upheaved by a powerful volcanic force. In support of this view he points to the fossil remains of fishes which it contains, and which seem to denote its neptunian origin. Pliny only knew the Somma, the top of which forced a vast cavity, a valley con taining small ponds, shrubs, and groves, where flocks of sheep and goats used to graze in perfect security, and in the centre of which there was no trace of the *cone of the present Mount Vesuvius. Diodorus Siculus, Vitru vius, and Strabo mention this mountain as having for merly been a volcano, from which it may be inferred that it had been many ages without giving any signs of activity. Johnson, Andrew, a United States' senator from Tennessee, born in Raleigh, North Carolina, Dec. 29, 1808. When he was four years of age he lost his father, who died from the effect of exertions to save a friend from drowning. At the age of 10 he was apprenticed to a tailor in his native city, with whom he served seven years. His mother was unable to afford him any educational advantages, and he never attended school a day in his life. While learning his trade, however, he resolved to'make an effort to educate himself. His anxiety to be able to read was particularly excited by an incident which is worthy of mention. A gentleman of Raleigh was in the habit of going into the tailor's shop and reading while the apprentice and journeymen were at work. He was an excellent reader, and his favourite book was a volume of speeches, principally of Bri tish statesmen. Johnson became interested, and his first ambition was to equal him as a reader and be come familiar with those speeches. He took up the alphabet without an instructor, but by applying to the journeymen with whom he worked he obtained a little assistance. Having acquired a knowledge of the letters, he applied for a loan of the book which he had so often heard read. The owner made him a present of it, and gave him some instruction on the use of letters in the formation of words. Thus his first exercises in spelling were in that book. By perseverance he soon learned to read, and the hours he devoted to his education were at night after he was through his daily labour upon the shopboard. He now applied himself to books from two to three hours every night, after working from 10 to 12 hours at his trade. Having completed his apprenticeship in the autumn of 1824, he went to Laurens Courthouse South Carolina, where he worked as journeyman for nearly two years. While there he became engaged to be married, but the match was broken off by the violent opposition of the girl's mother and friends, the ground of objection being Mr. Johnson's youth and the want of pecuniary means. In May, 1826, he returned to Raleigh, where he procured journey work, and remained until September. He then set out to seek his fortune in the West, carrying with him his mother, who was dependent upon him for support. He stopped at Greenville, Tennessee, and commenced work as a journeyman. He remained there about 12 months, married, and soon afterwards went still farther westward, but failing to find a suitable place to settle he returned to Greenville and commenced business. Up to this time his education was limited to reading, as he had never had an op portunity of learning to write or cipher, but under the instructions of his wife he learned these and other branches. The only time,however, he could devote to them was in the dead of night. The first office which he held was that of alderman of the village, to which he was elected in 1828. He was re-elected to the same positionwas chosen i:elBn mayor,29, anda which nihn position lB3O. h ln e hthealtd foryear he three years. In 1835 he was elected to the Legis lature. In the Session of that year he took decided ground against a scheme of internal improvements, which he contended would not only prove a failure, but entail upon the State a burdensome debt. The measure was popular, however, and at the next election (1837) he was defeated. He became a candidate again in 1839. By this time many of the evils he had predicted were fully demonstrated, and he was elected by a large majority. In 1840 he served as Presidential elector for the State at large on the Democratic ticket. He canvassed a large portion of the State, meeting upon the stump several of the leading Whig orators. In 1841 he was elected to the State Senate. In 1843 he was elected to Congress, where, by successive elections, he served until 1853. During this period of service he was con spicuous and active in advocating the Bill for refund ing the fine imposed upon General Jackson at New Orleans in 1815, the annexation of Texas, the tariff of 1846, the war measures of Mr. Polk's Adminis tration and a homestead bill. In 1853 he was elected Governor of Tenessee after an exciting can vass. He was re-elected in 1855 after another active contest. At the expiration of his second period as Governor, in 1857, he was elected United States' Senator for a full term, ending March 3, 1863. The Assassination of President Lincoln, OFFICIAL REPORT. The following official telegram from Mr. Secre tary Stanton has been received by the United States Legation in London : (Via Greencastle, per Nova Scotian.) " Sir,—lt has become my distressing duty to an nounce to you that last night his Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, was assassinated, about the hour of half-past 10 o'clock, in his private box, at Ford's Theatre, in the city. The President, about 8 o'clock, accom panied Mrs. Lincoln to the theatre. Another lady and gentleman were with them in the box. About half-past 10, during a pause in the performance, the assassin entered the box, the door of which" as un guarded, hastily approached the President from behind, and discharged a pistol at his head. The bullet entered the back of his head and pene trated nearly through. The assassin then leaped from the box upon the stage, brandishing a large knife or dagger, and exclaiming, ' Sic semper tyrannis!' and escaped in the rear of the theatre. Immediately upon the discharge the President fell to the floor insensible, and continued in that state until 20 minutes past 7 o'clock this morning, when he breathed his last. About the same time the mur der was being committed at this theatre, another assassin presented himself at the door of Mr. Seward's residence, gained admission by representing he had a prescription from Mr. Seward's physician which he was directed to see administered, and hurried up to the third story chamber, where Mr. Seward was lying. He here discovered Mr. Frederick Seward, struck him over the head, inflicting several wounds, and fracturing the skull in two places, inflicting, it is feared, mortal wounds. He then rushed into the room where Mr. Seward was in bed, attended by a young daughter and a male nurse. The male at tendant was stabbed through the lungs, and it is believed will die. The assassin then struck Mr. Seward with a knife or dagger twice in the throat and twice in the face, inflicting terrible wounds. By this time Major Seward, eldest son of the Secre tary, and another attendant reached the room, and rushed to the rescue of the Secretary; they were also wounded in the conflict, and the assassin escaped. No artery or important blood vessel was severed by any of the wounds inflicted upon him, but he was for a long time insensible from the loss of blood. Some hope of his possible recovery is entertained. Immediately upon the death of the President notice was given to Vice-President John son, Who happened to be in the city, and upon whom the office of President now devolves. He will take the office and assume the functions of President to day. The murderer of the President has been dis covered, and evidence obtained that these horrible crimes were committed in execution of a conspiracy deliberately planned and set on foot by rebels under pretence of avenging the South and aiding the rebel cause ; but it is hoped that the immediate perpetrators will be caught. The feeling occasioned by these atrocious crimes is so great, sudden, and overwhelming that I cannot at present do more than communicate them to you. At the earliest moment yesterday the late President called a Cabinet meeting, at which General Grant was pre sent. He was more cheerful and happy than I had ever seen him, rejoiced at the near prospect of firm and durable peace at home and abroad, manifested in a marked de gr ee the kindness and humanityo.f his disposition, and the tender and forgiving sp ir i t that so eminently distinguished hi y. . Public notice had been given that he and General Grant would be present at the theatre, and the opportunity of , The intelligence of the assassination of President Lincoln and of the attempt to assassinate Mr. Seward caused a most extraordinary sensation inthe cityyesterday. Towards noon the news became known, and it spread rapidly from mouth to mouth in all directions. At first many were in credulous as to the truth of the rumour, and some believed it to have been set afloat for purposes in connection with the Stock-Exchange. The house of Peabody and Co., American bankers, in Broad-street, had received early intelligence of the assassination, and from there the news was carried to the Bank of England, whence it quickly radiated in a thousand directions. Meanwhile it was being wafted far and wide by the second editions of the morning papers, and was supplemented later in the day by the publication of additional particulars. Shortly after 12 o'clock it was communicated to the Lord Mayor while he was sitting in the Justice-room of the Mansion-house, and about the same time " the star-spangled banner" was hoisted half-mast high over the American Consulate at the corner of Grace church-street. The same flag had but a few days before floated in triumph from the same place on the entry of the Federals into Richmond, and still later on the surrender of General Lee. At half-past 11 o'clock a large placard, as well as a telegraphic communication of the sad event, was posted outside The Sun newspaper-office, containing a circumstantial narrative of the affair. The excitement caused by the intelligence was immense. A large crowd assembled before the door, and the event was the theme of conversation everywhere. The revival of the affair of the Road-hill murder, which in the earlier part of the day had created a profound sensation, sank into insignificance in comparison with the interest and astonishment excited by the news of the 'tragedy at Washington. A photographer in Cornhill, "taking time by the forelock," exhibited cartes of the deceased Presi dent in his window, inscribed " the late Mr. Lincoln," and accompanied by an account of the assassina- tion copied from the placard posted in front of The Sun newspaper office. Throughout the remainder of the day the evening papers were sold in unexampled numbers, and often at double and treble the ordinary price, all evincing the universal interest felt in the astounding intelligence. LIVERPOOL, April 26. The reading of the telegram announcing the assassina tion of President Lincoln producad a general expression of horror and disgust on the Liverpool Exchange to-day. At first it was alleged that the assassin was a Confederate, but the Southern mon indignantly repudiated the imputation, and some of them who had known Booth positively asserted that he was an abolitionist of the Johnston and Butler school, and had been known to be mad for some months. Tho flags on the Town-hall and Exchange-buildings were hoisted half-mast, and in the course of the day a proposal to hold separate meetings of the Northern and Southern men for the purpose of expressing their abhorrence at the crime met with general acquiescence. The effect of the news on 'Change Was a rise in cotton and the. Confederate Loan, and a decline in Federal securities. MANCHESTER, April 26. Such a state of excitement as was produced by the news of President Lincoln's assassination this morning was never witnessed here before. On the Exchange and everywhere the general expression was one of reprobation and horror that such a crime should have been committed. The news put a stop to all business, and the day has passed away in mere talk and excitement. BIEN/NGHAM, Wednesday Evening. The news of the assassination of the President of the United States has produced a profound sensation here, and as much of sympathy, consternation, and dismay as can be conceived ; in fact, as to all of these feelings, second only to one other calamity which might have afflicted this nation and the world. It was a little past 12 o'clock when the first telegram was received here announcing the sad occurrence. Like all other bad news this spread rapidly, and in less than half an hour the Exchange, where the telegrams were posted, was thronged with persons in whose faces were depicted an expression of the deepest anxiety. Very many were reluctant to believe the news, and in a state of feverish and eager desire clung to the hope that the telegram was some stock-jobbing trick or fraud for some sinister purpose ; and in these times when so much is dune for the sake of creating a sensation, or for some more unworthy end, it is no wonder that even the public should at length have been taught to be cautious, and be reluctant to swallow the highly-spiced dishes set before it. Nearly three hours passed away without the receipt of any confirmation of the first telegram, and hope was reviving, when the full details of the appalling tragic occurrences just perpetrated at Washington came to hand. There was no face in which grief was not depicted, no sentiment uttered but that of abhorrence at these foul crimes. Of the truth of that the American people may rest assured, so far as this town is concerned, for although there has always been a strong feeling of sympathy here for the Southerners, and never more so than during the last hours of the gigantic efforts of the noble-hearted Lee and his valiant soldiers, there is nothing but detestation at the foul murder with which this fratricidal war has been crowned. The Mayor was absent in London when this afflicting news was received, but his worship was immediately telegraphed to by Mr. Alderman Hawkes, with the view of some imme diate expression in reference to this untoward event by the people of the town. Wilkes• Booth, the assassin of President Lincoln, is said to be the son of an English tragedian, whom some of our thea trical readers may perhaps recollect. He (the father) is Uinta described in the American Encyclopa3dia : "Booth, Junius Brutus, an English tragedian, born in London, May 1, 1796, died on the passage from Now Or leans to Cincinnati, December, 1852. After fulfilling en gagements at Deptford, near London, and other places, and even performing at Brussels, in 1814 he made his Milt at Covent-garden Theatre, in London, as Richard 111. His personal resemblance to the crookbacked tyrant conformed exactly to the traditions of the stage, and his personifica tion of the character was in other respects so striking that he competed successfully with Edmund Kean, then just rising into fame. Th e managers o f D rur y-lane induced him to act there in the same plays with Kean ; but when, after a few nights, h e was aga i n an nounced at Covent- g . a r_ den, his appearance was th e s ignal for a serious a t f h r e o a m tncal the riot, which resulted in driving him for a tim London United stage. at PetersburglnlB2lhe n: Virginia,ad his f i and first n appearance New in the States, a n ra bo ete th r of w at h t i h eh e P o a e r e k asi T ou h s eat h r e e, as in su t m he ed su i c ii c s ee f d a i v n o g uri y . e to ar' eh o etim en e j s oy in er theatre h a ß e i te ch d ar r d epe ll a l t . edl F y r i o n m ev th er a y t timeuntiinl the fhe c u lo n s it e e o d f s h ta is te l s if , e an h d e habits, b h i t s s , engagements, which so m f i e n re sp d it :i o th f certainthperformance irregularlas lucrative a excusexcursions tour u t popularity which a o of his d lif a e c h to e r re w si o d u e l d d w h i a t v h e h f i o s rf fa e mi ite l d ; During the latter part o making hading occasionaljuatreturned p r professional e f s r s e l m o n a a l o when he died. The range of character which t a o o t th ß c e a a r l l t i c f i i m o t ru i o es re i .: Booth assumed was limited, and was confined almost ex clusively to those which he had studied in the beginning of his career. He was most closely identified with that of Richard, in which, after the death of Edmund Kean, he had no r i va l. Among his other most familiar personations were lago, Shylock, Hamlet, Sir Giles Overreach, and Sir Edmund Mortimer. In his peculiar sphere--the sudden and nervous expression of concentrated passion —as also in the more quiet and subtle passages of his delineations, he exercised a wonderful sway over his audience, and his ap pearance.uponthe stage has been known to awe a crowded and tumultuous house into instant silence. His presence and action, notwithstanding his short stature, were impos ing, and his face, originally moulded after the antique type, was capable of wonderful - expression under the influence of excitement._ se-vertil of his children have inherited a Capital Paid-up . £500,000 Reserve Fund £200,000 Dividend Reserve Fund DIRECTORS. • The Right Hon.

A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " siedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The realer of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money 'by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too maw of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these niitereants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl, t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks an i Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular " Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to • the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by con s ulting which every young man may know where be may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, it your acquaint ance is large.

The chief event of the fortnight has been the retirement from the Government of Hong Kong of Sir Hercules Robinson, who has administered the affairs of that colony during the last six years. His excellency was to depart at once for Ceylon, as he has accepted the governorship of the colony. He leaves Hong Kong universally respected, as various complimentary demonstrations in his honour suffi ciently evidence. The Overland China Mail of the 15th says : " In military matters two cases which have lately occurred in China demand more than a passing notice. The first is that of a Beloochee regiment being sent from Shanghae to Bombay. There were 800 men, and the lowest allowance of space at two and a half tons per man required a vessel of 2,000 tons, or vessels aggregating that amount. Notwith standing this, the men were sent home from Shang hae in two vessels, the Caroline Coventry, 888 tons .register, and the Shakspeare, 656 tons register. The men had served well in China ; they had never engaged to leave Tndia ; and very many of them are likely to die on the passage, even should it be a short one, which it cannot well be in this season when the monsoon has abated. The other case is that of the Oaris of 1,116 tons register, chartered here to convey 600 men of the 22d Bengal Light Infantry. A medical board examined the vessel and reported that she would take no more than 500 men, being rather more than the number of Chinese Coolies allowed by the emigration rules, and a little below what an African slaver of such tonnage might carry. Yet the general commanding in China has ignored the medical report, and sent on the men to Bombay as stated. Should fatalities occur, the medical board will be exonerated ; but what position has General Guy placed himself in ? The general is understood to be a strict red-tape officer, which renders the affair more surprising. A spirit of mutiny in India would seem to demand encouragement rather than repression if such acts are to be sanctioned and approved. We record the case for the future guidance of the authorities at the Horse Guards. The facts are only too true, and it would be useless to supplement them with any comment of ours. Such an irregularity could never have occurred in India, and it is disgraceful to all concerned." From Japan the only intelligence refers to a rumour that the port of Hiogo is to be opened to foreign trade, should certain negotiations having that object in view prove successful. The Alleged Abduction of Three Children, At the Southwark Police-court yesterday, at a late hour, and at the close of the business, a very respectable-looking man entered the witness-box, with a newspaper in his hand, to complain of a re port extensively circulated in that morning's PaPers . respecting the abducti on o f th r ee children by the ir father and the Brompton Oratorians. He said that there was not the least foundation for any allusion to the who knew nothi ng of the l attercu nothing to do with it, occurrence, of an d holy 4ad nien He therefore attended to give a flat contradiction to the report, so that em body ne justice might be done. Mr. Woolrych told him that he did not particu larly understand that anything di srespectful was mentioned of the Brompton Oratory, and that it wa s pointedly alluded to. He mentioned the woman coming to him crying, and informing him that her husband was a Roman Catholic, that she was a Protestant, and that he had taken away her three children. After hearing her story he merely told her how to proceed in a legal manner to recover them. Applicant--Then I now attend before you, Sir, to deny that the Brom p ton Oratorians have had any thing to do with the children. I took them away, and had good reasons for doing so. Mr. Woolrych—Then you are her husband ? Applicant—Yes, Sir, and I have a pitiable tale to tell of her conduct, when I assure you that she is incapable of taking care of her children for several reasons. She is an incorrigible drunkard, having been in Horsemonger-lane and other prisons. She has ruined my home, my peace of mind, and de stroyed all happiness through her intemperate 1 habits. Mr. Woolrych—She did not look like such a woman ; but that I do not say anything about. What is your object here to-day ? Applicant—To contradict the statement sent forth that the children are under the protection of the Brompton Oratorians. They know nothing about them. I have the children ; they are taken care of. Mr. Woolrych—l suppose your object is to have your statement in the papers ? Applicant—Yes, Sir, as a justification to a body of holy men. • Mr. Woolrych—No doubt the papers will act in their discretion by inserting your statement. Applicant then withdrew.
