Charles Jolley, a greengrocer in Rose-street, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having cruelly beaten Ann Perring, his mother-in-law. The complainant, whose face was hideously disfigured by blows, said the defendant's wife, her daughter, had been obliged to go into the country in consequence of the dreadful ill-usage she had received from her husband. While the defendant's wife was away she had consented to mind the children, and look after the shop, when the defendant was absent at the public-house. On Saturday night the defendant remained at the public-house be yond shutting-up time, and just as she had stepped over to a neighbour the defendant came to her and ordered her to go home, declaring that he would have the child from her custody that night. The defendant wanted to make out that the complain ant was not sober, and therefore was unfit to have charge of the child. Re had himself been drinking. a glass or two of beer. "Ail the small steamers are on their way home from the Baltic, including the Wrangler. The sailing fleet under Admiral Plumridge are now in Kiel Bay, while some of the steamers which are in attendance en them are completing with coal at Faro Sound and at Elsinore. The whole of the French fleet are on their way home. Sir Chas. Napier, with the gnaw line-of-battle ships, has moved from Nargen to Baro Sound, to watch the Hel singfors fleet ; Admiral Martin, with a small steam squadron among the ...Aland Islands and in the Gulf of Bothnia. ; while we have a squadron, under Captain. Watson, of the Imperieuse, cruising off the Gulf of Fin land, Riga, and Courland. " The P orcupine, which had been engaged for two years in the protection of the fisheries en the coast of Scotland, was ordered, early in April last, to join the fleet in the Baltic. Proceeding there with all despatch, she joined Sir Charles Napier's flag, off the Gulf of Fin land, on the 17th of that month, when she was sent, with a Russian prize in tow, into Faro Sound , Goth land, there to t a k e charge of all prizes that might be sent in to prepare for their voyage to England, and also to esta blish and arrange the colliers as they came out for the coaling of the fleet. When the steam fleet proceeded up the Gulf of Fi n l and at the latterendof May she joined them, and while they lay in Baro-Sound she was em ployed with the Master of the Fleet and others in sur veyine, the neighbourhood_,_ particularly the passage up round the north coast of Mello, r elo, where an Engineering officer succeeded in a dra w i ng o f th e fortifica tions of m Sweaborg, withi n t on le" After this she accompaniedth il e e' s . erew portion of the fleet off Cron.stait, and, after their return to Baro Sound she was sent up the Gulf of Bothnia (which she as ' eended as far as 64 deg.

The small steamers being all ordered home, she was relieved by the Cruiser, 14 (screw), and sailed thence on the Bth it - st., putting into Copenhagen for coals, whence she sailed on the 11th, and has arrived at Sheerness. " At Elsinore, the Hada and Driver were coaling to join the fleet at Kiel, and tow them through the Belt ; the Lightning, also on her way to England, having left Captain Sullivan 012 board the Duke of Wellington to pilot the &O.". • the next day, and again no observation was practicable. About four o'clock in the afternoon, if I recollect aright, on casting the log, the steamer was said to be making twelve knots an hour. "About 11i p.m., when nearly all the passengers were in their berths, and the ship was going at the rate of over ten knots an hour, she ran against a sunken rock, with a frightful concussion. Instantly the ship was alive ; from every hatchway the passengers—men, wo men, and children—poured over tie deck in the wildest confusion and distress, and many of them in an almost primitive state of nudity, rending the air with their shrieks and manifesting every symptom of mortal terror. "Now the seamanship of our captain and the disci pline of the crew came into requisition. Tie engines were reversed, and on taking soundings it was found that the ship was in deep water on both sides, and that she had struck a rock on her port aide, near the cut water. A man was stationed at the well, to see how fast the water gained, while the carpenter and his crew, with oakum and blankets, sought to stop the hole. But the latter was found to he impossible, as the orifice was some six feet long by four broad, through which the water poured in like a cataract, soon filling the for ward compartment of the hold to the water line. " It was, ascertained that the point upon which the vessel had struck was off Cape Race, so having taken in all sail the steamer was backed off and headed for Chance Cove, about seven and a half miles to the north ward. This cove she reached. However, she had hardly got into shallow water ere the second compart ment was flooded and the fires extinguished. During all of this time the sea was as calm as a mirror, but the fog was SO dense that objects could not be distinguished a ship's length distant. Boats were launched and a party sent to survey the beach ; they reported it good, with a fine sandy bottom, whereupon the vessel was run aground as far up as possible, and but about three quarters of a mile from the shore, and the anchors let go. "The boats were then hoisted out, and the passen gers having by this time mostly come to something like their senses, the work of getting them ashore was coin menced. The ladies and children were first debarked, and after the. the male passengers. During the per formance of this arduous duty the utmost care was taken to prevent accident, by keeping in check the excited crowd, who would otherwise have rushed into the boats and swamped them. Fortunately but little surf was on at the time, so that the whole of the passengers were got on shore by half-pant four a.m. without the slightest accident. " The shelter and provision for so large a number of people thus thrown upon a desolate shore, some sixty miles trorn the nearest village or town, was thene2tt oon: J - Mr. Hardwick said the brutality of the defendant's conduct was aggravated by the fact of the complainant doing him a kindness at the time, by taking care of his child. He should send him for three months to the House of Correction. LOADING A RIFLE.—The bullet should sever be SO large as to require much force to ram it down, or yet should it be too easy ; but, with its patch, it ought to fit air tight, or it will not have the desired effect. When a bullet happens to be so large as to require hammering to force it down, draw it at once and throw it away, as a bruised bullet will have ragged edges which will cause it to be much impeded, as well as thrown from its true direction, by the action of the air. When you see any one hammering a bullet with his ramrod you in ay safely set him down as be ing in perfect ignorance of the harm he is doing, or indifferent as to the result. If the bullet be too small, its range will be less in consequence of a por tion of the power of the charge having been per mitted to escape in gas between the bullet and the barrel ; its true direction will also be affected, either vertically or hsrizontally, by its being made to leas more to one side of the barrel than another, in the act of loading. Some riflemen weigh all their bullets separately, and distinguish them into two or three classes ; those of which the greater quantity are of an equal weight, are reserved for fine shooting, and the others are put by themselves for common practice. This is a very good plan ; for otherwise, the very best aim may prove at times of no avail, in consequence of some hidden defect in the bullet ; for if a part be hollow, the centreef gravity its willtrue line not be of beinflitet will line of be more o the: r xis, r ar e d s; consequently, disturbed,—Hints about itigo Vith .c pa i nter , Ri nKm- committing o gs b a e p r nl t a : R es sdaanubdl before Z oo / nr , e a i d y e r s o. c n i b g, B e a fee cink a female. lt et a : j e o h u a S r r ° n o j e y d T m w iE Eliza Webb, a respectable young female, about 13 years of age, who exhibited marks of violence on her face and neck, on being sworn said—l am a boot and shoe binder, and live with my relatives at Rotherhithe.

THE SYNOD ON THE UNIVERSITIES.—The Synod of the Established Church has come to nearly unanimous resolutions :-1. Against a union of the colleges, as unfavourable to efficient teaching. 2. To consider favourably any plan for the union of the universities. 3. In favour of the graduates having an influential ♦oice in the government of the university. 4. Against any such increase in chairs in arts as would materially in crease the expense to students ; though, as there has been only ono chair additional explicitly proposed—a chair of rhetoric and English literature—we do not see how this resolution comes to be included. All the other three resolutions, we believe, accurately express the pre vailing feeling of the public here, and especially of the present universities.—Aberdeen Herald. NOTARIES.—The use of notarial seals would seem to be of English origin. The French, like the Spanish, have adopted, in their stead, a pen•and•ink device which they call a " paraphe," and which is generally of a very intricate and inimitable form. As the use of seals has become in England the ordinary method of authenticating public documents, so has the " paraphe " in France, with this differen ;e, that the difficulty of counterfeiting the latter affords a greater security against any attempt at forgery. "Paraphes " are now commonly used throughout the Continent, not only by notaries and public men, but by persons of every class ; and even the ladies seldom sign their names without attempting a "flourish" of some , sort. With a foreigner, the " paraphe " is as necessary an appendage to his signature as the moustache is to his face.—Notes and Queries. Three houses were destroyed by fire at Chatham, on .

MURDER AND SUICIDE IN Essnx.—Yesterday morn ing, about 6 o'olack, the inhabitants of the Tillage of Little Waldingfield were alarmed by the following hor rible occurrence :—lt appears that William Game, a labourer, has for some time past been in a desponding state of mind, and that yesterday morning his wife, who had been in attendance on a sick man, n ow l y i ng dead, went home to procure some clothes, in order that she might attend the funeral ; it a l so appears that Garoe'l family were about to remove from their cottage, and that the wife had collected together a looking-glass and some trifling articles of furniture for convenience of re moval ; she then went to fetch a pail of water, and it is supposed that on her return into the cottage she was at tacked by her husband, who stabbed her in three places, one wound passing through her neck into her moutilt another under her ear, and the third, a little lower down, killi ng h er on th e spot. The unhappy murderer then cut his own throat, completely severing the wind' pipe, but, strange to say, up to 2 p.m. yesterday ho still alive. He had spoken once, and asked for one of his children. Game is about 50 years of age, and the murdered wife about 45. They had two children, be• sides having each had two by former marriages.—Essa Gazette. BIRTHS. OP A EON.
