IN RE JACOBSON. This bankrupt was described as of Houndsditch, whole sale clothier. This was an adjourned meeting for last examination and discharge. The debts are stated at £928; assets £6. The bankrupt had been subjected to severe examination by Mr Treherne for creditors. The bankrupt admitted that he had started with £6O or CO, and he dis charged himself by debtors, from whom he could get no returns—one having gone to the Old Bailey, another to California, and others to unknown regions. In the course of his examination he prevaricated, and on some points he was flatly contradicted by witnesses. Mr 4 Treberne now further questioned the bankrupt, and his Honour said that it would be quite out of the question passing the bankrupt on such accounts, and the case must be adjourned sine die, with liberty for the bank rupt to come when prepared. Mr Treherne asked that it should be at the bankrupt's expense, as there was not a farthing for the creditors. His Honour assented. The bankrupt applied for protection for two months. A creditor, in person, thought it was such a case that the Court ought not to grant protection. His Honour granted protection for one month. (Before Mr Registrar Murray.) IN RE GEORGE MIDDLETON. This bankrupt was dSscribed as of Hanover-square, Fen church-street, wine merchant, and this was a meeting for choics of assignees, a deed of assignment for the benefit of creditors having been set aside by the Lord Chancellor. The debts are stated at £1,200, the assets depending on the realisation of property, Mr Hart (Lemon Hart and Son) and Mr Barnard, bottle merchant, Pauls-wharf, Thames-street, were chosen aP- signees. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the commissioner of the day, but did not take his seat in Court until half-past 12, delaying public business. The assistance of one commis sioner as commissioner of the day, would greatly facilitate the business, and a paid messenger, •as doorkeeper, would keep the court in order. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.---This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Walter Antrobus was indicted for forging and uttering the names of certain witnesses to a deed and affidavit to be used in the Bankruptcy Court. . The Solicitor• General and Mr Sleigh prosecuted, and Mr Besley defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the 2d of June last two persons of the names of Becker and Sack, who had been trading together, wished to enter into a composition with their creditors, and the prisoner, who called himself an accountant, undertook to act and pass them professionally through the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Act of 1861. certain deeds and affidavits have to be executed and attested by a commissioner appointed for that purpose. On the 2d June the prisoner attended at the office of aMr Cox, a commissioner under the act, having offices in Rood• lane, with Mr Sack, and asked him to wit ness the signature of the usual deeds, which were signed by Becker and Sack, the latter only being present. Mr. Carr objected to attest the deed, only one being present, and Mr Becker's name was struck out, and Mr Carr signed the deed. The prisoner afterwards waited on Mr Keen, the Registrar in Bankruptcy, with the document, and at that time the name of Becker had been inserted, and the initials A. C. placed against the attesta tion representing that Mr Carr had attested Becker's sig nature. The affidavit was informal, and Mr Keen refused to receive it, and said it must be resworn. The prisoner left with the deed and affidavit, and in a very few moments returned, Mr Keen told him he had not had time to go to Mr Carr's, and the prisoner replied that he had met him close by. Mt Keen still doubted the genntneness of the signature and the initials to the name of Becker, which had been inserted. lie kept the document and com municated with Mr. Carr, and it was then ascertained that the initials and the signature showing the affidavits had been resworn, were forgeries, and that the initials and sig nature was in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Carr and Mr. Keen proved the above facts. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner, who had been five weeks in prison, was then sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour: Thomas Parker, 46, solicitor, but uncertificated, was indicted for forging a petition to be used in the Court of Bankruptcy. The prisoner had used the name of another solicitor to whom ho occasionally sated as clerk. _ _ _ The prisoner, by the advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty. The Solicitor-General thought justice would be satisfied by the prisoner being called upon to enter into his own recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon. Henry Minchin and Montgomery Somerville were in dicted for forging and uttering a cheque for the payment of £l5, with intent to defraud the Union Bank of London. The prisoner Somerville some time ago had been in the service of a gentleman named Wilson, and whilst so en gaged he had means of obtaining access to his employer's cheque book, The bank had paid on a former occasion a forged cheque bearing the name of Wilson, and accordingly means were taken to discover the persons who had committed the fraud. On the 29th June the prisoner Minchin entered the bank and produced a cheque for payment, signed by Mr Wilson. The signature was a forgery, and Minchin was given into custody. He said ho received the document from Somerville, and when ha presented it at the bank ho had not the least idea it was a forgery. The jury found Somerville guilty, and acquitted Minchin. The Recorder sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. Henry Knox was found guilty of robbing his employer of a quantity of velvet and other goods. The Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. Herbert Thompson, a respectable looking lad, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing 192 silk handkerchiefs, the property of Mr Samuel Morley, of Wood-street, Lheapside. The Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before Commissioner Kerr.) George Smith was indicted for unlawfully having in his possession a quantity of counterfeit coin. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour. This morning the father of Mr. Alderman Rose suddenly expired in a fit of apoplexy while journeying from his suburban residence at Kennington to the City. CIIURCII AND STATE IN ITALY.—A correspondent ofihe Debats, writing from Turin on the 7th, says : - 66 Yesterday evening the Chamber discussed a measure which has caused some emotion. The Minister of War proposes to suppress absolutely the exemp tion from military service established in favour of young men intended for the ecclesiastical pro fession. This rigorous measure is one of the espisodes of the war which is taking place between the Church and the State. It is impossible to regard it other wise. The war is unfortunate in itself ; and can load to no good. But its causes are so well known and so serious that we cannot hope to see it end quickly. The law was opposed by an eminent man, Cesare Cantu, who is almost the only representative in the chamber of the religious party. It will, notwithstanding, be voted almost unanimously." BLACKBURN.—Iu the union of Blackburn 5,292 persons were relieved last week, at a cost cf £2Bl 16s. 3d. against 5,148 persons and £2BO 9s. 7d. in the preceding year. The strike of colliers at Langton and Fenton. and of the ironstone getters at the Sneyd Green Colliery, con tinues, but at Ford Green 360 turn-outs had returned to week at a reduction of 6d per day. Most of the Paris pipers, in commenting on the recent debates,regard the retirement of Lord Russell from the ministry as highly probable. The Opinion, in quoting a despatch from the correspondance Navas, prints in italics the following lines :—" The programme which Lord Palmerston's ministry seems decided to follow after their recent victory is not without importance. Measures of reform at horse ; abroad a renewal of the Anglo-French alliance on terms of the closest intimacy, with the expressed intention of seeking, in concert with France, to put an end to the frightful carnage of which America is the theatre and the victim. If Lord Russell does not frankly accept this programme, he will be succeeded by Lord Clarendon," ROCHDALE. The Conservative committee At Rochdale issued a placard on Saturday, in which they state that they "have great pleasure in inform- ing the electors that the number of signatures to the r(qaisition to Mr. Brett has already exceeded their san guine expectations, and so far from it being the intention of either Mr. Brett or his committee to retire from the steps they have already taken, they are fully determined to contest the borough the first opportunity," BIRICENTIEAD.—It is generally reported (says the Liver :pool Albion) that the eldest son of kr. William Jack son, M.P., will contest Birkenhead at the next election, in opposition to Mr. Laird, the present member. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT TO LAWSON, THE STUD GROOM AT ELTllAM.—Several members of Tatter sall's have formed themselves into a committee for the pur pose of raising a subscription in behalf of the widow and 10 children of poor Lawson, whose death from the kick of a horse was announced a few days since. The Duke of St. Albans, the owner of the horse that inflicted the fatal injury, has most generously headed the list of donations with the munificent sum of £lOO. His grace's name is followed by those of gentlemen who are ever foremost in works of charity, and we have no doubt their example will be fol lowed by the whole of the members and many of the public besides. NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—One hun huudred and fifty einployk at the West India Docks have, through Mr F. J. Bradfield, forwarded to the National Lifeboat Institution £5 7s 10d., in sums varying from 3d. to as., as a token of their sympathy for its great and national work.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A M AN ON HIS WIFE.— Michael Joy, a labourer, residing at 1, Wackham-place, Chelsea, was charged before Mr Selfe with the following murderous assault upon Mary Ann, his wife, whose head had a large bandage round it. this morning she was at very weak from loss of seteanetepdlethihaetn a t b ( o N u v t ho 2 s o e ,c em io:k d home sitting on a chair when her husba n d came i n . She blo T o h d e ) had been waiting up for him. After he had been there a short time he knocked her off the chair, They had some words. Mr Selfe—How did he do that ? Complainant—He struck her with his fiat, and when she was on the ground he kicked her on her forehead, and caused a wound which bled very much. Thre was a pool of blood on the floor. A policeman came in and took her husband to tho station. She went there to make the charge, when her head was dressed by the surgeon of the division. In answer to the magistrate, complainant stated that this was not the first time she had been assaulted by her hus• band, and that she had never brougist him there before. She had been married many years, and had a little boy. He was in bed at the time. Her sister-in-law (prisoner's sister) was also in the room. Policeman B 159 said he was called to take the prisoner into custody. He found complainant, who was bleeding very much from a wound in the forehead. The prisoner said that she fell on a tub. He (witness) had seen the in• jury, and thought the wound was caused by a kick. Mr Selfe observed that it was a most brutal assault. He always looked on a man who assaulted a woman as a great brute, and he never passed over such conduct. He was sent to the House of Correction for two months. New Silver Coinage for Great Britain and Ireland, (From the .11fechanio's Magazine.) We have excellent authority for announcing the fact that it is intended ere many months shall have passed away, to recall the whole of the silver coins now circulating throughout the United Kingdom, and to replace them by an entirely new coinage of that metal. There can be very little doubt that the remarkable degree of success which has attended the recent reformation of the copper currency, and of which reformation this journal gave the earliest intimation to the public, has prompted the Government to take this important step. There exists as little doubt that a judicious re modelling of the silver coinage will be pro ductive of satisfaction and advantage to the community at least equal in amount to that which has followed the introduction of the bronze money. It must ba patent to every person that the time has arrived when a new coinage of silver would be highly acceptable, for all must have experienced more or less of inconvenience from the dilapidated and used-up state of that which now circulates. Our crowns and half-crowns, many millions of which came into existence as far back as 1816, and none of which are of more recent date than 1849, are miserably deteriorated, having lost by abrasion the greater part of their original impressions, and many of them 15 per cent. of their original weight. Oar shillings are in as bad a plight, whilst the sixpenny coinage is in a much worse condition than either, and individual pieces are frequently met with which weigh only two-thirds of the standard weight at which they were issued from the Mint. Threepenny pieces are rapidly following in the wake of their richer relatives, and fourpenny pieces are dying an unnatural death, for their issue has ceased for many years. We say nothing of the florin, because it is the youngest member of the British family of coins, and it has been subjected to less wear and tear in consequence. The loss of weight among our silver coins is a great evil no doubt, but the consequent defacement of their impressions is of yet more serious consequence, for it facilitates largely the operations of counterfeit coiners. Such manipulators find it a comparatively easy task to produce jac similes in base metal of half worn-out coins, and they avail themselves too freely of the privilege thus afforded them. Mere loss of weight is of the less importance, because at the best silver coins are simply national tokens representing certain amounts; that is to say, their nominal and their intrinsic value, when newly minted, are unequal, and abrasion and sweating only widen the ratio of inequality. A pound weight of standard silver costs—subject to slight fluctuations resulting from the action of the law of supply and demand—in the bullion market, sixty shillings ; but after conversion into coins of either of the denominations named, its value i 3 nominally raised to 665, thus leaving a. margin or seiguiorage, as the ancient term stands, for covering the cost of coining operations, of 63 upon each pound weight paseed under the Mint presses. A shilling at its birth therefore is not intrinsi• cally worth a shilling; it only represents that sum. So of all other coins in the silver series. Diminution of weight, therefore, as has been stated, is of less consequence than defacement. This fact admitted, there is no reason, as it seems to us, why the pound weight of silver should not, in the projected new coinage, be converted into seventy shillings or even eighty shillings, and its companion moneys in like proportions. The ex pense of the entire operation of recasting and re coining the silver moneys would thus be met, with out drawing a farthing from the public treasury for the purpose; and, instead of having a miser able, and easily imitated mass of coins, grown tight by wear, tear, and ill usage in circulation, we should :possess a perfect token coinage-- ght, elegant, portable. and not to be counterfeited without the exercise of great skill. If light silver coins, which simply bear shadows of their former impressions, now pass from hand to hand unques tioned, surely light coins upon which the full and complete devices of the Mint dies stood out in minute elaboration, ought also to circulate freely— and so, no doubt, they would ! It may also become a question of interest for the Mint authorities as to whether a harder composi tion than standard silver might not be discovered and employed. Frequently the slightest variation in the mixture of metals—take gun and bell metals for illustration—makes a wondrous difference in their hardness. At all events, the durability of the uew silver coinage is a point only second in import. ance to that of its speedy introduction. FEEBLE LITTLE JOKE OF SIR HARRIS NICOLAS. —The late Sir Harris Nicolas used to practise rather strongly upon some of his friends. I was not an un willing victim. The pleasure derived from the wit exceeded any pain it inflicted. Indeed, Sir Harris himself one day expressed his disappoinment at my insensibility, by saying that he had never in his whole life been able really to hit me. The late Lord S . . . was sitting with him one morning listening to a very astute but rather dry explana- tion of some matter about which his lordship had inquired At last he threw himself back in his armchair and said "14 dear Nicolas, I am very stupid this morning; my brains are all gone to the dogs." On which Sir Harris pathetically exclaimed, "Poor dogs!" —Babbage's Autobio- graphy. CAPT. W. W. KNOLLYS' VIVACIOUS NOVELETTE, in form, says the .Reader, something like " Letters left at a Pastrycook's," professing to be extracts from the diary of a young lady consigned to the IRdian matrimonial market, will appear in a few days under the title of "Misses and Matrimony." A SCREAMING FARCE, in two acts, has just come out at Wurtzburg, the text of which is published by Richter, called " Shakespeare in Deutschland am Tage seiner Jubelfeier." With slight alterations it would suit our London commemoration nearly as well. 'I HE NEW GOVERNOR OF THE CAPE.—Lieute nant-General Sir Robert Percy Dangles, who has been appointed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, is the eldest son cf the late Sir Howard Douglas, who was Go vernor of New Brunswick from 1823 to 1829, and Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands from 1835 till 1810. The new Governor was born in 1805, and succeeded to the baronetcy in 1861. He has been Inspector of Militia and Assistant-Adjutant-General to the Forces. IMPORT OF CORN.—A Parliamentary return pre sents a tabular account of our imports of grain, corn, flour, and meal for the last 23 years, and shows that in the 10 years, 1541-50, the quantity averaged 5,810,470 quarters a year; in the 10 years, 1851.60, 9,629,425 quarters; since then it has been larger than was ever known before—namely, in 1861, 16,094,914 qu arter'.; in 186'2, 15,441,791 quarters; and in 1863, 15,352,559 quarters. The estimated value of these imports was £34,918,639 in 1861, £37,772,191 in 1862, and £29,956,939 in 1863. We get at least a third of our supply from America, but the largest portion is drawn from our own hemisphere, and much from the most ancient sources; we get above 1,000,000 quarters in a year from Egypt, where the patriarch Jacob sought and found corn, and from Turkey, Denmark, Southern Russia, Prussia, more than 1,000,000 each. INSURANCE AMALGAMATION. —The Leeds and Yorkshire Assurance Company, the head office of which is at Leeds, is about to be amalgamated with the Liverpool and London Fire and Life Insurance Company, with which the Globe Insuranc e Company has just been amalgamated. The Leeds and Yorkshire Company has been very successful, and the terms on which it unites with the Liverpool and London are deemed very satisfactory, and the result will probably be an increase in the Yorkshire busi ness of the united companies. A HILL-SIDE ON FlRE.—Last evening, part of the hill-side at Carrigaloe was observed to be on fire, and is a short time the flames spread with such rapidity that the entire side of the hill facing the river presented the appearance of a huge sheet of flame. Tho conflagration is said to be caused by a spark from the railway engine falling amongst the heath and furzo,which, owing to the late con tinued hot weather, had been made easily ignitable.—Carle 'Examiner. BODY OF A CHILD FOUND IN THE CLOAK ROOM OF THE BRIGHTON RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning, information was forwarded to Mr Payne, the coroner, that on Saturday last the superintendent of the cloak-room of the above railway, while inspecting the various parcels left in his charge, found in a black box, which had been lying there since the 14th ult., the body of a full grown child. Such crimes have it seems of late been of frequent °cent rences on the metropolitan railways. FIRE IN LAMBETII.—A short time before three o'clock yesterday morning about five-sixths of Davis's ginger beer and soda water manufactory, Princes street, Stamford-street, Lambeth, was destroyed by fire, The private residence was also damaged and a portion of Mr H. Hies's factory destroyed. Several adjoining houses were damaged.

PELTING A MAN WITH HIS OWN BACON —Bridget Tighe, alias Carthy, a dissipated and turbulent woman, who has given much trouble to the police, was brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing bacon from the shop of Mr Hunt, cheesemonger in High-street, Poplar, and assaulting a boy named Thomas Lemon. _ _ The boy detected the prisoner stealing some rashers of "real 'Wiltshire," and called his master's attention to the fact. The prisoner immediately strtck the boy and knocked him down. She then took up all the bacon within reach and pelted Mr Hunt with it as fast as she was able. She also broke a great many eggs and created such a scene of confusion that about 100 persona assembled, and the cheese monger had much trouble in saving his property. The prisoner was given into the custody of a police constable, named Edward Chance, who stated that the pri soner stood up and fought him like a man. She was a much better pugilist than himself, and declared she would not go to the station house with him. Ho obtained assistance, overpowered her, and strapped her on a stretcher. She was then carried to the station house, swearing, roaring, and cursing like a mad woman. It was proved by police ser geant Watson, No. 34 K, that tife prisoner had been twice convicted of felony, and once sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and on the second occasion to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner, whose clothes were a mass of rags, said she was torn to pieces by the police. They took advantage of her weakness. (Laughter.) Mr Paget convicted the prisoner of the assault on the boy, and sentenced her to a month's imprisonment and hard labour. A DISGRACE TO THE BLUE JACKET.--Michael White, a seaman, aged 47, was brought before Mr Paget on a charge of felony. ing house in Ann-street, St. G eorge -in-the-East.

Ho was ob served by two mariners lodging in the house to go up and down stairs several times. lie was also extremely restless. After he left the house a sailor named Andrew Brown went to his room and missed a pair of trousers and a singlet. He immediately started in pursuit of the prisoner, and met him going into a house and wearing the stolen trousers. He was given into the custody of Robert Smith, 253 K, who found the singlet in the shop of a Jew named Marks, who bought it of the prisoner for a shilling. Toe prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr Paget—Have you anything to say for yourself? The Prisoner —It is nine years since I was in England. I have been in the American. service. I was last in a Yankee ship called the Sabine.

IMPERIAL FAJILIAML T. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. HIGHWAYS ACT AMENDMENT (RECOM d MITT= BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On the motion that the preamble should be postponed,„ Dlr . THOMPSON said that the present state of highv ra y naanajement was most unsatisfactory. To prove this , be mentioned that it had been found necessary to substi Lute another bill in 1862 for that of 1855. They were now Cf on to rescind the former. He thought that no practical re sult would arise until that act was rescinded compuls( )ry instead of optional. Clauses 1 to 19 inclusive were agreed to after a short 6 cussion. On clause 20, Mr KENJ)ALL movod an amendment to the effect that parishes should ba conipellcd to refence in their neighbour• hoods if necessary. Sir G. GREY said that unless they were already liable these words would not render them so. The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to, as were clauses to 23. On clause 24, Mr. H. FEN WICK moved the omission of the words "without a keeper," the object of which was to prevent cattle being turned out on the highways for pasturage. These highways were intended for the use of the public, and converting them into grazing ground was a direct per. version from their legitimate purposes. After some discussion, the committee divided— For the amendment Against it 33 Majority It was then moved that the words " Such highways not being more than 30 feet wide" should be added, but it was withdrawn. Sir B, LEIGHTON moved that the words of the clause should not apply to any existing rights of pasturage on the sides of roads. Lord HENLEY said that the effect of the provision pro posed by the hon. baronet would be to nullify the clause altogether, 'or there were no road upon which righis did not exist. The amendment was agreed to without a division. The clause, with some other amendments, was then adopted without further discussion. [LEFT SITTING.] ELECTION INTELLIGENCE, BUCIINGECAMSHIRE.-It is understood that at the dis solution of Parliament Mr C. G. Da Pre, one of the sitting members for the county of Bucks, will retire, and that the Hon. Charles Robert Carington, the eldest son of Lord Carington, will offer himself as a candidate. There has generally been a tacit arrangement in the county that it should be represented by two Conservatives and one Liberal and accordingly at the last election Mr Disraeli and Mr Du Pre were returned on the Conservative interest, and Mr Cavendish on the Liberal interest. On the succession of Mr Cavendish to the barony of Chesham a few months since, Mr R. B. Harvey, a third Conservative, was returned with out opposition from the Liberals (except the few who sup ported Dr Lee), on the understanding that at the next election, Mr Du Pre retiring, Mr Disraeli and Mr Harvey (who is a brother-in-law of the Duke of Buckingham) shall be returned on the part of the Conservatives, and Mr. Carington on the part of the Liberals. REIGATE ---It is said that Mr G. Leveson Gower, the sitting member for Reigate, will not offer himself for re election after the next dissolution, and that Mr W. A. Wilkinson will come forward on the Liberal interest. The Hon. James Stuart Wortley is spoken of as the Conserva tive candidate.

TRACES OF THE HARTLEPOOL MURDERER.- Some rather important revelations have come to light within the last few days in connection with the murder of Matthew Hodgson, near Hartlepool, on the 19th of March last. It will be remembered that the man who was supposed to have committed the deed xas described minutely by Margaret Denton, .who saw bim following deceased on the day of the murder up Hart -lane, with a bludgeon in his hand, which was afterwards found near the spot where the tragedy was perpetrated. This man the police of the district have been unsuccessful in get ting hold of ; but about three weeks ago, Margaret Den- ton was at Hartlepool with one of the farm labourers, and on returning in the cart at night, while the driver was absent a minute or two, her eyes caught those of a man who was intently gazing at her. She at once recog nised in him the man whom she saw following Hodgson & short time before he was murdered. The driver joined the cart, and as it was proceeding this man, whom the girl eyed with such fear, came up to the cart, and, from a point from which he could scan the girl's face, again scrutinis- ingly glanced at her, and inquired of the driver if ho was going to Hart. He received a negative reply. The cart then proceeded on its journey, having to go a little to the north of Hart. At the bend in the road where, on the 19th of March the girl had first seen the supposed murderer, this individual, strange to say, was there ; aid he again put the same queition to the driver, asking if he was going to Hart. The driver, apparently annoyed at the troublesome inquiry,agruffly answered him in the negative. All this time Margaret Denton was so terrified that she dared not breathe to the driver of the cart who this strange questioner was, but on arriving at home she told her mother she had seen the man who had followed Hodgson up the lace on the day of the murder. The farm labourer who was driving the cart when this incident occurred appears to have had occasion to go to Hartlepool on Monday last, and when in the outskirts of the borough% a was accosted by his former questioner. He said, "Do you ow that girl that was in the cart with you on Friday 1" y es," replied the driver. "Did she say anything about me ?" " No." " What, did she not say she knew me nicely ?'' " No, she never mentioned you." Such was the conversation, and the man left. The facts wets then communicated to the police, who during the past week have been scouring the whole neighbourhood.—Newcastle Chronicle. FATALTIGER HUNT.—Capt. ilmot, of the 106th Foot. has been killed in a tiger hunt, in the Boondie Hills. Captains Wilmot and Dawson had bagged nine, their leave had nearly expired, they had quitted the hills, and congratulated each other that the trip had eaded without a single accident—when, at near sunset of the day before last, intelligence was brought them that a tiger was at the foot of the hill. They at once proceeded to the spot and then walked him up; both fired, and the tiger, severely wounded, sought refuge up the hill. Apparently without waiting to re-load, both officers followed, taking the tiger's own path. Shoulder to shoulder, with a native carrying spare arms, and directed by traces of blood and the roaring of the brute,the two officers approached his lair on a patch of jungle on the hillside, when from a height the tiger sprang upon them, knocked both over, and seizing Wilmot carried him off towards his retreat, treating the unfortunate man as a cat does a rat. Captain Dawson appears to have discharged his second barrel in this scrimmage, and on recovering himself and looking round for the spare single, he found that the native had bolted,carrying the weapon with Wilmot's ride lay on the ground, one barrel still undischarged ; with this Daw son destroyed the tiger. Dawson appears to think that thine absence of the spare gun did not affect the result,p a: at their struggles man and beast became so mixed he did. he could not have fired a moment sooner tha n Dawson During this struggle, the agony of tniadii:cf on P him to fire ca the whole of that During escorted his may be conceived, as young Wihnot. and chance the consequence. r' to village, on a a little after sunrise, miserable night, for 20 miles f,rodil3)lo e° , 2 l e d ie il skill or . sympathy charpoy carried on m en's beads , wounded comrade, reaching d E ic r t e a r t y e t d hi N n va g s w d h o i n ch e t f h o e r k t i h n e de p sn o t or fellow on his arrival at Deolie, but his wounds soon proved fat,] .--Bomb a y Gazette.

The doors :su reds In t u b n r in u t g e h r ru r themtd were again closed, grace said, and we sat down to the banquet—for, i n d eed, a perfect banquet it was. In a few minutes I turned quietly round, and thero again was the same appearance—a moving mass of unequal tints. The host, observing me, said, " What, looking at my doers ? They are cockroaches. New York abounds with them. Quite harmless, I guess; go on with your dinner." I did, but felt a shudder creep over me at the un usual sight. I was then new to the country, but got per fectly accustomed to the cockroaches, long before I reached the source of the Mississippi.—.2lfasical and Pc, sonal Recollections of 11, Phillips.
