Approaching Marriages in High Life, We hear a matrimonial alliance is arranged to take pace between Prince Paul Esterhuzy and 14 , -.dy Diana Beauclerke, daughter of the Duchess of St. Albans and sister to the present peer. We understand that a marriage has been arranged to take place between Lord Elphinstone and a daughter of the late and sister of the present Earl of Dunmore. A marriage is also arranged to take place between Captain Fitzgerald, of Shaiston House, Bucks, and Miss Mary Cavendish, eldest daughter of the Hon. Richard Cavendish. We are authorised to state that a marriage is arranged between Mr. Noel Mundy, of Mark Eaton, Derbyshire, and Miss Emily Cavendish, third daughter of the Hon. Richard Cavendish. The marriage of Sir David Baird with the Hon. Miss Stuart, daughter of Lord and Lady Blantyre, is fixed to take place on Wednesday next. HIS HOLINESS THE POPE.—Peas IX. might be expected to last some years longer, as he helor gs to a long lived family. His two brothers are respectively 84 and 80 years of age ; his sister 77 His father died at 84, his mother at 82, and his grandfather at 06. Her Royal Highness the Duchess d'Aumale was prema urely confined on Wednesday evening, at Orleans House, Twickenham. From the latest accounts received in town last evening we are able to state that the duchess is going on favourably. His Serene Highness Prince Win dLchgratz and Prince Victoria de Windischgratz have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn• street, trcm Vienna. Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg and his consort, the Princess Clementine of Orleans, with their children, have arrived in Brussels, on their return to Germany, from attending the marriage of the Count of Paris and the ln- anta Isabella. The Duke of Newcastle is, we learn, not so well as might be expected from the recent favourable reports. His grace was out on Tuesday, but since then he has been confined to his chamber. The medical report last evening was " that the Duke remained much the same." The Duke of Sutherland and the Earl of Sefton are not expected home from tic Mediterranean till about the second week in the ensuing month, After lancing General Garibaldi at Caprera, the Duke and Lord Sefton made a short visit to the Duke San Arpino, at Naples, and then proceeded on a cruise in the yacht, intending to visit Athens and Corfu, The Marauis and Marchioness Cholmondeley en tertained a select party at dinner, yesterday evening, et their znansion on Carlton-house. terrace. The Countess Bernstorff has issued invitations for an assembly, on the 14th inst., at the Prussian Embassy on Carlton house-terrace. The Earl and Countess de Grey return to town to-lay from a visit in the neighbourhood of Ascot during he races. The noble earl will give a grand dinner on the 15,h inst. to his Royal'llighness the Duke of Cambridge. Viscountess Palmerston will have an assembly to-morrow night at Cambridge Hong:, Piccadilly. Viscount and Viscountess Boyne entertained a select party at dinner yesterday in Belgrave-square. Her ladyship's assembly, for which cards had been issued, was unavoidably postponed. THE GREEK LOAN.—Correspondence which has been presented to Parliament relating to the arrangement concluded at Athens in 1860 shows that after the report of the commission of inquiry app , inted in 1857, with the con currence of the Greek . Government, the three protecting Powers—Great 13: itain, France, and Russia--fixed the minimum sum to be paid by Greece towards meeting the charges on the loan guaranteed by the three Powers at 900,0001. The Greek Government was at the same time informed that, if it failed in discharging its dt.ey, the only cuurse I.ft for the protecting Powers would be rigorously to exact the execution of the 12th Article of the treaty of 1832, ty which Greece binds herself to lay aside the first produce of Greek revenues towards the interest and sinking fund of the loan. The Greek Government in June, 1860, sthted in its answer that, while it considered this demand dispropor- tionate to its resources and its wants, it had, nevertheless, determined to carry it into effect by imposing sacrifices and confining expenses to what is strictly necessary; and in 1861 the Greek Minister stated that the 900.000 f. lay ready at the Bank. According to the financial returns laid before Parliament Great Britain received from Greece in 1861 the sum of £3,944 towards the £900,000 then already due ; be yond that nothing has been received since 1848, A JUDICIAL DIFFICULTY.— Fhe case of Pitt v. Pitt came before the Second Division of the Court of Session on Friday last, on a motion to apply the judgment of the House of Lords. The appeal was upon the question of jurisdiction, on which point the House of Lords reversed the judgment of the Court below, curtailing its jurisdiction, and ordered that the appellant bs " assoilzied." The Lord .iustice-Clerk said the judgment of the House of Lords was inconsistent with itself, for, if this Court had no jurisdiction, plainly it could not pronounce a judgment of absolvior, any more than it could a judgment to the opposite effect. It was obvious that the House of Lords or the Clerk of Parliament had used a term iu Scotch law the meaning of which they did not understand, for they could not mean that a Court having no jurisdiction was to pronounce upon the merits of the case. There was, however, a remit to this Court to do what was just and consistent with the House of Lords' judgment, and he did not think they would be doing what was just or consistent with it were they to give decree of abseviter. He thought the application of the judgment should be to pronounce an interlocutor dismissing the action. The Court resolved accordingly. PLYMOUTH, Thursday Morning.—The barque Lady Alice, 420 tone, Capt. Stranack, belonging to Mr. Richardson, of Regent's -park, was off the Eddystone yesterday morning, under all sail. Wind light. She left Portland Bay Feb. 7, rounded Cape Horn March 17, and crossed the equator April 23, and brings a full cargo of wool, leather, and hides for London. She was continually among ice from lat. 55 S and long. 150 W to lat. 66 17 S and long. 113 W, a passed upwards of 200 bergs.

ERRORS OF THE PRESS.—I have been referred io.a volume of popular sermons, in which, owing to the negligence of the proof readers, a deplorable number of typographical errors appeared. One of these, as if in reference to the others, was singularly appropriate t o tho unhappy circumstances of the poor author, the vers o, "Princess have persecuted me without a cause," reading " Printers have persecuted me without a cause." Campbell's celebrated Essay on Miracles appeared in one of the advertisement as " Campbell's Essay ou Mangles." In newspaper articles of my own I have had th e m i s f ortune to it.

LONGWORTH (OR 4 ,ELTERTON). Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Kingsdown, and Lcrd Wensleydale. This morning this case was proceededwith. Mr. bolt, Q.C., proceeded with his address. He quoted from the respondent's letters with a view to show the im possibility and positive untruth of her statement. Nothing in these letters was said directly or indizectly about a pro mise of marriage, which would undoubtelly have been men tioned had there been such a promise What her real position was, he thought, was clear Iron one of her own letters, in which she said, "Who can detne our undefinable position ?" In another letter, in whiel Major Yelverton congratulated her on her supposed marriage with Mr Shears, z.he asked, " Ho w can you suppose I could desert you whom I love, for Shears, for whom I don't care?" There was no allusion to any promise of marriage. Toe learned counsel referred to the letter the respondent wrote to the Catholic clergymen in Ireland who was said to hsve married them, In that letter she detailed the circumstances of the marriage, and asked him to append the surnames, hitherto concealed from him, to his register of the marriage, giving as her reason that she was abroad, and as she was in expectation of a little st anger, she wished to have a proper register, inas much as there would be some difficulty in the baptism at Lunenburg, where she represented herself to be. She repre sented to the priest how thankful she was to him, and that through his kind intercession another human being might be brought into the Church of Christ who might otherwise have gone astray. The priest, in reply to her pathetic letter, sent her the certificate, and expressed the delight he had felt in receiving her l ong -expected letter, which she had written at Hull, although she professed to be at Lunenberg. Lord Chelmsford thought there was little in that, as she might have been intending to go abroad, where she might be confined. Mr Rolt thought that it was clear from her letters that asked to have her letters add ressed to " Miss Longworth, " she e havingnot no expecting unm a rr sister,iaendyrhkg o f t h e kind. Moreover, she The Lord Chancellor—What did the priest mean by the long-expected letter ? Mr It alt thought it was quite clear that a letter could not have been expected. Lord Chelmsford thought otherwise. It was very pro bablethanked the priest. and promised th a t s h e wou ld wr i te t o that when the marriage took him. place the respondent Mr Rolt described this correspondence with the priest as the playing of her last card, her last contrivance of fraud. He contended that many a person had haen placed at the y h a denied, e n been ied a criminal bar for a less serious offence, the whole of this transaction being a subtle and dan gerous fraud. The priest, he urged, was not a credible witn ess, as he thought was proved by what he himself wrote t o the respondent about the register and the witnesses to th e marriage. That , and it was clear h private ma r r i a g e Major Yelverton determined that he would h ave no further tmaartrdiaigreecil the ys appellant p d e e l c la declared en there tirel communication with her. At that time there was nothing said about the Scotch marriage, the only thing relied upon being the marriage by the Irish priest. There was another point to which he felt bound to refer, that was the alleged admission of the appellans to Miss Braddon, that he had Contracted a marriage with the respondent. When their lordships read through the evidence of that witness, he did not believe that they would attach any material importance to it. The learned counsel then proceeded to sum up the results of his lengthened arguments, contending that in none of the correspondence was there any proof of a contract, or even promise of marriage—that if any proceedings took place before the Irish priest at all, they did not partake of any religious character, but were merely got up as a scene for some particular purpose—that there was no promise cf marriage either at Galata, Balaclava, Edinburgh, or Ireland. The Lard Chanellor—Have you any proof when the en. gagement of Major Yelverton with Mrs. Forbes began ? Mr. Rolt—No, there is not; but we know that when that engagement began all intercourse with Miss Longworth (1 he respondent) ceased. The marriage with Mrs. Forbes took place on the 26th of June. Mrs Yelverton's two lady friends arrived at five minutes before twelve o'clock, but Mrs Yelverton herself was not present, Mr Rolt, in concluding his speech, said it was no part of his duty to vindicate the sin of Major Yelverton before God or society, but he most earnestly protested and insisted that be had not been guilty of fraud or deception to this woman. Listening to hes artful tales he was led away, but directly he saw that her drift was marriage ho abandoned her. She threw herself upon him in every way, and was really his seducer, for be had repeatedly said ho would have nothing to do with her except on terms of illicit connexion. Sir Hugh Cairns followed on the same side. LAW INTELLIGENCE —(This Day. ) COURT OF DIYORCE. (Befcre the Judge Ordinary). PRICE V. PRICE. This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of desertion and adultery. The parties were in humble circumstances, and carried on a small business in the London -road, Southwark. The quarrels between them were frequent, and the treatment she received was very bad, On a cold winter night, on one occasion, the respondent came home in a very violent temper, turned petitioner out of doors, and sold off all the home, leaving her without a shelter.

The parties were domestic servants in two families residing ar Lataberhurst, tbd husband being a footman and the respondent a h ousemaid. The marriage took place abut 20 years ago, a n d witnesses were called to prove that for about a year or so they agreed very well together. Shortly after that ti me quarrels arose in consequence of the petitioner discovering familiarities having occurred between her and the butcher, and he became jealous. The parties separated in consequence of their disagreement, and some years after it was discovered she had married a man named Andrews, having represen ed herself as a widow. Witnesses were called to prove the cohabitation of the respondent with Andrews at Highbeech, in Essex. The Judge Ordin ary , b ; -- ng himself examined the peti tioner, said he had s ome doubts about the circumstances attending the first sep aration, but as the parties were both at. in domestic service, he did not think the same strict evi dente, necessary in other cases, could be obtained, and therefore he should decree a rule nisi.

He saw Marshall go up to the door of No. 3, Cheapside (Mr Perry's pen-shop), and drop something into the letter-box in the door. He gave the priscners,into the custody of a constable. Jesse Smith, 241 City police, also saw Marshall go up to the door. He took the prisoners into custody. John Lewis, City Constable 262, received the purse, which contained a sovereign, two half. crowns, and a sixpence, from No. 3, Cheapside. Mrs Nieuwenleys identified the purse as her property. Mr Lewis appealed to Mr. Knox to deal with the pri soners summarily, but Mr Knox declined to do so, and committed them for trial. ROBBING A LADY IN AN OMNIBUS—COMMITTAL. — Mary Marshall, alias Seymour, and Elizabeth Harris, two well dressed women, both of whom refused their addresses, were charged before Mr Knox with robbing Mrs Hannah Nieuwenleys, of Wimbledon and Pall.

On the omnibus arriving near Apsley house a lady who had been sitting near her left the omnibus, and the prisoners then moved and sat next to her. When the omnibus reached Duke-street she got out, and after going a few yards missed her purse containing £3 in gold and a £5 bank note and some silver. She then took a cab and went after the omnibus and told the conductor—the prisoners still being inside—that she had been robbed, and while she was gone for a constable the prisoners left the omnibus. On getting home she found that the pocket of her dress had been cut. WESTMINSTER. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY 4 FEMALE IN THE THAMES. — Charlotte Williams, a tall good-looking youns woman, was charged on remand with attempting to commit suicide by throwing herself into the Thames.

Inspector Adams, of the Tham es P o li ce , s t ate d t h at a b out _ _ _ _ 11 o'clock on Monday morning he was rowing in the Thames when his attention was drawn to the prisoner, who was about to jump off the embankment at Millbank. She was being held by two men. Witness drew his boat towards her, when he told her that he should have to take her into custody for attempting to make away with herself. She said, " I hope not. If you only knew as much as Ido you would pity me." He asked her where she lived, and as she refused to tell him ho took her into custody. In answer to the Magistrate the inspector stated that had she got in the water she would have been drowned. The Magistrate observed that the chaplain of the prison had sent him a letter in which he remarked that the prisoner appeared truly penitent, and he asked if any of her friends were present. The Inspector stated that the prisoner's mother was in court. The Magistrate (to the mother)—Are you willing to take your daughter home with you? Mother-1 am, sir.

ROBBERY IN THE ST, KATHERINE DOCK.—George Teasdale, a cooper, aged 24, was brought betore Mr Part ridge charged with stealing 3 bottles of sulphate ot quinine, value 30s, some brandy, tea, and other articles in the St. Katherine Dock. Mr J. P. Mumford, superintendent of the It. Catherine Dock Company's police, said he went yesterday to the ex port shed on the A jetty and sent for the prisoner. Mr Hunter, superintending foreman, was present. There had been two cases plundered in the shed. One contained brandy, the other quinine. The prisoner was accused of being in the shed by himself, and must know something about the plunder that was going on. The prisoner re plied, I know nothing at all about it. He told the prisoner he must search his house, and proceeded with him to his lodgings, No. 13, Oxford-street, Whitechapel, near the back of the London Hospital. In a room which the prisoner said was occupied by him he found in a cupboard two bottles, each containing an ounce of quinine, and valued at 10s, each. They were exactly similar to a bottle of quinine found in the export shed, and to other bottles of quinine in a case that had been plundered. lie said to the prisoner —More than these have been taken out of the shed. To which he replied—There are two here and one in the shed, that is all I took out of the case. He found several of her articles, the result of pilfering, in the prisoner's room, including two sample bottles containing brandy, two parcels of tea wrapped up in sample papers, and 25 cigars, which he believed to be foreign, and some leaf tobacco. The Prisoner—Did I not say the two bottles of brandy were given to me by a gentleman named Harding ? Mr Mumford—Yes, you did. Walter Lurcher, a labourer in the service of the St. Katharine Dock Company, said the prisoner had been en gaged in the export shed coopering the casks that were plundered. He found a bottle of quinine in the shed after the prisoner left it and tw..) cases broken open. He gave information to Mr Mumford. Mr Partridge asked the Superintendent for information about the prisoner, and Mr Mumford replied that the pri soner had been in the Dock Company's service three or four years, and had been recommended for promotion as foreman cooper. The prisoner was in comfortable circum stances, and had a bank book with an account of his sav ings. The prisoner's father had lately met with a severe accident, and was in the hospital at Croydon. Mr Partridge—l will remand the prisoner for one week, to make further inquiries about him, MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

THE AUSTRIANS AND THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA . —The extraordinary news, originating in an Italian tele gram, that the anniversary of the battle of Magenta had been celebrated in. Austria as a national victory, is now ex plained in a manner which relieves the Austrians from the ridicule cast upon them. The simple fact is that they keep the day as one of mourning, the Catholic officers at tending a grand mass for the souls of those who fell in the battle. The officers wear crape round their arms, and salvoes of artillery are fired. Inspector Richardson, of the N division, was early on the spot, and he took Buckwell into custody. From what he could ascertain it would appear that Buckwell had gone to bed, and that after he had been in bed some time he got up and hid himself on the stairs before he perpetrated the deed. At the station he said, " I did do it. I loved the girl, and that's the reason I did it." He exhibited great indifference, and did not seem to care anything about the matter. PROLONGATION OP THE ARMISTICE. [REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] BERLIN, JUNE 9, Afternoon. The armistice has been prolonged for another fortnight from the 12th inst. HORRIBLE MURDER. At a late hour on Wednesday night a most fearful murder was committed at the Lion Tavern, New Cattle Market, the victim being a female of the name of Terry, a house maid in the service of Mr. Keeble, the landlord. The mur derer was an under waiter, of the name of Charles Buck well, and it appeared that he was desperately in love with this young woman. The murdered woman was heard to scream, and on the nephew of the landlord going up stairs he found Buckwell on the third landing with a long knife in his hand, Buck well exclaimed that he had killed the deceased, on which he was seized and detained in custody. Mr. George Tull, surgeon, of 65, Camden-road-viilas, was called by the inmates of the public-house, and he found the deceased dead from an incised wound in the left breast, extending through the lungs and penetrating the heart, It would appear that the deceased and the young man had walked together, and it is said that a fellow servant (a female) had dissuaded the deceased from going out with him. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER. Yesterday, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, before Mr D'Eyncourt, Frederick Charles Bucknell, aged 23, who was described on the charge sheet:as an under waiter, was charged with causing the death of Jane Terry by stabbEng her in the heart with a butcher's knife. The prisoner ap pears younger than he is described, and his appearance is rather of a mild character. His eyes had a peculiar stare about them, and he seemed to feel his position very acutely. Inspector Richardson, N division, was in attendance to watch the case on behalf of the Commissioners of Police. Henry Feeble was the first witness called. He stated that he managed the business of his uncle, Mr Feeble; at the Lion public-house, New Cattle Market. The prisoner was under waiter tfiere, and had been employed there for two years. Last night, about a quarter-past 11, he heard screams on the staircase, and on going up stairs he met the prisoner coming down. He had a knife in his hand, and said, " I have done it, Master Henry; I have killed her." He took the knife fr,tu him, and said, "You scoundrel, come down stairs." The prisoner went down stairs, and he then gave him into the custody of a gentleman in the bar. The knife, which was about eighteen inches long, and very sharp, was covered with blood. That knife was used in the kitchen. The prisoner and the deceased, as far as he knew, had been on very good terms together. Mr D'Eyncourt—Had there been an attachment between the deceased and the prisoner ? Witness—There had been. That was about seven months ago. The prisuy.er said in a firm tone that he did not wish to ask the witness any question. William Gardener, the head waiter, said he knew the prisoner and the deceased as servants in the employ of Mr Keeble. Last night he was in front of the bar sweeping, when he heard a loud and long scream, corning from the top of the house. Seeing the previous witness going up stairs he followed and saw Mr Keeble having hold of the prisoner. He rushed past, and before reaching the next landing he saw the deceased fall. She was bleeding very much from a wound in the left breast. He could see the wound. Dtr D'Eyncourt—Did she live long? Witness—No; he believed that she was dead when he picked her up. She did not speak or groan. The only sign of life she gave was an endeavour to draw her breath, but this she failed in. Mr D'lyncourt—Have you observed that the prisoner was paying his addresses to the deceased ? Witness—No. I thought there was nothing more than . _ _ joking between them. Mr D'Eyncourt—Have you seen anything about the pri soner that would have led you to suppose that he intended anything of this sort ? Witness—No. He had seen a young man come to the house, whom he understood was paying his addresses to the young woman. Mr George Tate, member of the Royal College of Sur geons, said he was called to examine the deceased. Ho found her deluged in blood. On feeling her pulse and exa mining her he found her quite dead. She was still warm. He was told she had been stabbed, and on examining her he found an incised wound on the upper part of the left breast. The orifice was about an inch and a half or two inches in depth. He put his finger into the wound and found that the knife had passed through the left lung into the back of the heart. He could feel the heart. (Sensation.) He could feel the heart with his finger. He pushed his finger in as far as he could. He had no doubt the wound was immediately fatal. Mr D'Eyncourt—Could the wound have been inflicted with such a knife as that produced ? 'Witness—Yes; it is just such a knife as would inflict such a wound. Mr D'Eyncourt—Would it require much force to inflict such a wound ? Witness—Yes, it would require considerable force: Mr D'Eyncourt asked if the deceased was a robust young woman ? Witness—Yes, and she was a very fine young woman, and full of flesh. Charles Hill, the boots, gave confirmatory evidence, and said that he left the prisoner in his bedroom about 20 minutes betore this occurred. He then bade him good night, and the prisoner said, " Oh, I might come down again." A f ew minutes afterwards he saw the prisoner. with a knife in his hand, and he said he had done it. Last Sunday fortnight the deceased came home with her cottkin, and the prisoner then said " that is the man (meaning the cousin) that has broken my peace of mind." The deceased and the prisoner had been very partial to one another, but not so much of late. He did not think that the prisoner contemplated anything of this sort. The deceased wished him " Good night." two or three minutes beture he heard the scream. He had heard the prisoner say that he was very fond of the deceased, and that he would have her and no one else. Police-constable George Norris, 220 N, said that about halt-past 11 last night he was called into the Lion Tavern, and the prisoner, who was in front of the bar, was given into my custody on a charge of stabbing his fellow-servant. He told him the charge, and he said, " I will tell you all about it." He told him it was his duty to caution him against making any statement. He was not obliged to say anything, but what he did say might be heard in evi dence against him. He said, " She is the only girl that ever I liked ; and poor girl she has got it, and I hope she will die." A gentleman came into the room and said "She is dead." The prisoner remarked, " I would rather that she is dead than that any one else should have her." After that he (witness) went up stairs with inspec. tor Richardson, and on the second staircase found a broach which was covered with blood. Mr D'Eyncourt--Did the prisoner say anything about the knife? Witness—No. Mr D'Eyncourt—Was there any blood on the prisoner's hands or clothes ? Witness—l did not observe any. The prisoner did not seem much excited. Inspector Thomas Richardson, of the N division, said that last night he went to the Lion publichouse. Re re ceived from Mr Keeble the knife produced. The knife was covered with blood. On his reading the charge over to the prisoner he said, " I did do it. I loved the girl, and that was the reason why I did it." He (witness) wrote these words down at the time. In the prisoner's box he found a portrait of the deceased. The portrait was in a fancy case, and had been carefully preserved. Mr D'Eyncourt asked if any of the witnesses knew that the deceased had given the prisoner her likeness. All the witnesses answered in the negative. The prisoner, who treated the matter with the greatest indifference, was then remanded. Mr D'Eyncourt inquired if the friends of the deceased had been communicated with. Mr John Richardson said the friends of the deceased re sided at Derehs.m, in Norfolk, and he would communicate with them. The prisoner has a father but no mother. The prisoner asked that his aunt, Mrs Bishop, of 11, Lion square, Whitechapel, might be communicated with. The prisoner's father had visited him at Mr Keeble's ; but the prisoner had stated that he had had to support himself for the last ten years. Bank of England Return,•—Last Evening.

AN ELOPEMENT AND ITS FINALE.—At the Preston Police-court onWednesday, a young man of respeatable exterior, named James Rogerson, was placed in the dock under the following circumstances :—Mr Watson, _ _ solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the • prisoner had been apprehended under a warrant for stealing a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to the father of a girl he had eloped with, and fcr running away from his wife and children and causing them to be chargable to the Preston union. He was afraid the first charge could not be supported, but there could be no doubt as to his being guilty of the second. The prisoner was formerly a cotton opera tive, but had recently been an auctioneer's clerk. William Shacklady, residing in Peel-street East, Preston, deposed that on Monday, May 23, he went away from home. He left his daughter, a girl 19 years old, behind in charge of the house. When he returned on the Saturday following he found that his daughter had gone, and she had taken with her a large quantity of wearing apparel, including dresses, shawls, scarfs, &c. A melia Shacklady, the girl in question, was then examined. She appeared quite cool after her escapade, and neither blushed nor hesitated in giving her evidence. She said—l am 19 years old. The prisoner persuaded me to go from home. He took my clothes, and we went to Barrow , in-Furness. The articles of wearing apparel produced were bought by my father. Inspector Withers said he apprehended the prisoner at Barrow on Saturday evening last. The clothes produced were in a box in his sleeping room. Mr. Blackhurst, who appeared for the prosecution—And in her sleeping room too, I sup pose ? Mr. Withers—Yes, I suppose so. Miss Shacklady —No, not in my sleeping room. (A. laugh,) The ma gistrates, after considering the case, said they were afraid the evidence would not warrant them in corn • miffing the prisoner for felony. Two or three of. the officers connected with the union were then examined relative to the charge against the prisoner of neglecting his wife and children, They proved that since the prisoner eloped his wife and family had become chargeable to and had been relieved out of the funds of the parish. It was also proved that on the day the prisoner left home with Miss Shacklady he gave a letter to one of his children, with instructions for the same to be handed over to its mother. The following is a copy of the epistle : "this here is to crtefy that I hem gone to America and all tha slandar as might go.

A TIGER TURNING TAIL !--J uat as daylight was in m w i a ft t eh e dea their d h m a c t ahi dt e er i ne r c s e t i u eb c failing us, and white we Were trill a couple of miles from camp, I observed a troop of monkeys crowded together on a tree which overhung a clump of long grass, bounding from branch to branch in a state of great agitation, scream ing, chattering, and making hideous grimaces, as if half enraged and half terrified at the sight of some object be neath them. " What is the matter with these monkeys?" . _ 1 inquired of my guide in Hindostanee. "It is a tiger probably," he replied, puffing away at his cheroot with the most perfect coolness, and striding along as if it were all a matter of course. " The devil it is I" said I, thunderstruck at the coolness of the young rascal — for the path we were pursuing being bounded on each aide by impenetrable jungle, obliged us to pass within a few yards of the haunted thicket—and cocking both barrels of my rifle, I stepped out at my best pace to escape from the dangerous neighbourhood as quickly as possible. We had just passed the thicket, and were making a short tu rn rou nd the end of it ; when, to my utt e r dismay, I found myself face to face, and within twenty yards, of a royal tiger, busily engaged in tearing up the carcass of a wild hog he had just killed. My hair almost stood on end, as the br ute raised his enormous head, smeared w ith blood, and glared upon us with his malignant gre en eyes. M o h a d een dropped his cheroot, and remained motionless as a statue, with his keen eye steadily fixed upon that of the tiger. I knew enough of the nature of the animal to be aware that it was more dangerous to retreat than to stand fast; but thinking that a charge was now inevitable, I w as determined to have "the first word of flyting," as we say i n Scotland, and wa s about to raise my rifle, when M ohadeen, without re moving his gaze f rom the tiger, laid his h and upon my arm, an d kept it down with a f irm grasp. The tiger growled and showed his teeth, but unable to with stand the fascination of the human eye, he gradually with drew the paw, which jealously clutched his prey, e e r e ui crouc h e d together, as if appalled by t h e steady gaze of the savag e, turned slowly rou n d, an d utteringy a sulky gro wl, slunk away into th e l ong grass. No sooner hiswn s m h o i u s tbha,ck sent turned,forth then hi pochulaidan, l d cla y p e p l his aph pears s a t r o s to strike terror to the heart of the most savage animal, and we instantly heard the stealthy a bounding gallop, as he fled in dismay from that unearthly cry. "We have made him eat dirt," remarked the young savage, coolly picking up his cheroot, replacing it in the corner of his mouth, and walking off as if nothing remark able had happened. We now set off towards camp at a round trot, for the short twilight of the tropics was lading rapidly, and my guide, although he affected to d es pi se tigers by daylight, was perfectly aware they were not to be trifled with afte r nightfall. We reached the tents without further venture ; and I confess I was not a little glad when we came in sight of our cheerful camp Eres.--CoI.
