y AND COMMZUCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Provincial Banking Corpora tion have elected as their general manager, Mr. Trotter, who has been connected with the National Provincial Bank of England, the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank (at Liverpool), and the Provincial Bank of Ireland. The half -yearly meeting of the directors and shareholders of the London and Provincial Turkish Bath Company (Limited) was held, in pursuance of the Act, at the Hammam, 76, Jermyn•street, on Monday afternoon. The directors present were— Stewart Erskine Holland, Esq., chairman ; Percy S mith, Esq.; Major Poore, Sth Hussars; J. H. N. Da Costa, E ; and James Lowe, Esq. The report of the directors on the affairs of the company was r ead. The gross profits of the bath are £367 12s 6d in excess of those of the last six months, and the Profits of the café and hotel can only be considered as rendering its returns since the last Easter vacae tl°u., The amount available for distribution on the profit and loss account would have been £1,123 7s 4 d, but for the extraordinary contingency of the co mpany having been mulcted in £279 Os 53 law Costs incurred by Adams's action. The debt of the company has been reduced from £3,000 to £2,500, of which £l,OOO will be immediately paid, and thy' remaining £1,500 in July, from which period it w ill be entirely extinguished. The directors pro- Posed a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum from the Ist November, 1863, on all shares then peid up, and a proportionate rate on all shares subse quent paid up in full, according to the date of Payment. This semi will amount to £505 14s. 3d., and will leave £338 13s. Bd. to be carried over to the credit of the next account. Various alterations and improvements have been made both in the hotel and hammam,which have materially increased their attractions. Others are contemplated which will add to the accommodation for bathers. The powers of the bath, as applying radiating heat to the cure of dig> ease, will then be brought into action and evidence. In the course of the proceedings it was proposed that the directors be hereafter remunerated. This - was unanimously declined by them on the ground that their work was comparatively nil; the real management, which was entirely one of complicated details, being conducted by the honorary director, Mr. Urquhart, whose labours in the matter were further increased by the applicatio❑ made to him for the erectioa of baths by the managers of several of the largest hospitals and asylums. After the discussion of some points raised by the shareholders present, the Report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend of 6 per cent. ordered to be paid ; and, after a vote of thanks to the Board of Directors and the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 65c.; New Account, 661. 95c. A decline of k per cent. has occurred this morning In the Eng.ish Funds. This drop is, no doubt, owing more to the very limited business in progress than to any other circumstance. Monetary prospects ,re favourable, and there appears to be quite a lull In politics. Consols, for money, are 91a I, and for the account, less the dividend, 901 1. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 e ; Es - Bills, 7s. to 2s. dis.; and India 5 per Cents., 10,0 1. In the Foreign Market there is very little ani mation, and prices are tolerably steady. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 71 4 ; do. Consolides, 481 ; Mexican, 44-a y ; do. New Loan, 1 01 dis.; Spani,h Passive, 34-k e ; Greek, 251 2 ; Portuguese, 48-1 a ; Russian Scrip, 4 4 prem.; Swedish, 21 31 prem.; and the Confederate Loan, 64k In the Railway Share Market a firmer tone has prevailed. Great Western, Lancashire and York shire, Great Eastern, and London, Chatham, and Dover have each improved ss. ; while Metropolitan have declined 153, Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are also in some instances at slightly enhanced rates.

FULL COURT OF DIVORCE. ;Before Sir J, P. Wilde, Mr, Baron Channell, and Mr. Justice Keating.) SCOTT V. SCOTT. This was a suit for restitution of conjugal rights by the husband, who was formerly a captain in the English army, and was the last case heard by the late Judge Ordinary, who on leaving the court the same day, met the accident which unfortunately terminated so fatally. At the trial, the respondent, who pleaded cruelty, and prayed for a judi. cial separation, as well as the petitioner and several wit nesses were examined, and tho case occupied three days. It was proved that the marriage took place in July, 1844, and there were three children issue of the marriage, who were dead. S's thousau i pounds were settled on the re spondent by her mother, at whose death she became en titled to a reversionary interest in a similar sum. The respondent, in the course of her examination, deposed to different acts of ill treatment to herself, the children, and her mother, arising in mos.: instances from disputes about money. This statement was corroborated by several witnesses, but was positively denied by the petitioner, and the evidence was very conflicting. The jury merely found that the cruelty had not been admitted, after which an application was made to the present Judge Ordinary for a new trial, on the ground that the verdiot was against the weight of evidence, and that additional evidence had been obtained, which was refused. An appeal was made from that decision to the full court, which granted a rule nesi, which came on for argument this morning. Mr. Kerslake, Q,C., and Mr. Shaw appeared against the rule; and the Queen's Advocate and Dr. Spinks on the other side. The case was proceeding when we went to press, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER's.—Edward Hanhan, a lad, was charged before Mr. Knox with being ouncerned with two others not in custody in stealing, at 312, Oxford-street, 60 gold and plated pins, and one brooch of the value of £5, the property of Mr Nathan W, Jacobson, jeweller, Sto. Henry Dawson, 301 A, deposed that on the previous even ing, about 8 o'clock, he observed the prisoner and two other lads close by Mr Jacobson's shop, No. 312, Oxford-street. He watched the lads for about one hour and a half, during which time they passed and repassed the shop 50 times. The prisoner then walked up to a show case, and after wards left it and joined his companions, and then ail three returned and stood close together near the show case for a short time, and then walked away. He (Dawson) upon this crossed the street, and after watching the prisoner and his companion a little longer saw them all go up to the show case and then bolt off, and after a shari. chase he succeeded in capturing the prisoner. Upon asking him what he had done with the rings the prisoner said, " You have made a mistake—l've got no rings." He then took the prisoner to the station and searched him, but did not find anything upon him relating to the charge. On returning to 111 r Jacobson's he found that a padlock had been forced off a show case, from which a number of pins and a brooch had been abstracted. Mr N. W. Jacobson stated that he saw the show case secure about 20 minutes past nine last night, and on the officer speaking to him a little time afterwards he discovered that about 60 pins and one or two brooches had been taken out of it. The value of the articles was about £6. The padlock, with which the case had been secured, had been broken off. Mr Knox asked the officer if the other persons were known. Dawson sail he believed he should be able to find them. Mr Knox remanded the prisoner for a week. Mr Jacobson stated to the magistrate that only a few flays ago, while his back was turned for a moment, some person walked off from his shop with a Dresden china jar of above £lO value.

THAMES, DEFACING WALLS.—IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC. — Isaac Thomas, a solemn looking man, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with defacing the walls of houses in Stepney. Police Sergeant Beales, No, 52 K, said that at a quarter past 7 o'clock last night he saw the prisoner with a large can containing lime-wash and a large brush in the rear of some houses in Diggens-street, on the Clare Hall estate, Stepney. The prisoner had just completed with his brush on the long wall behind these houses the words—", Drink the London Pure Tea Company's Famous Teas?! (A laugh.) The wall was open to the road, and had been recently built. It was covered from top to bottom with the announcement. Inspector Hayes, K division, said all the walls in the dis trict were covered with tradesmen's and companies' an nouncements, and so many complaints had been made by the owners of IR °petty to the Commissioners of Police, that directions had been given to the constables to arrest all per sons indulging in fresco-painting on the walls. The prisoner said there was an advertisement on the long wall, which he decorated before. Police t , ergeant Wood, No. 10 K, said the wall was clean before the prisoner painted the tea company's puff on it. The prisoner—No. George Cornus' carpet warehouse was painted on the wall. Mr. John M'Ewen, the owner of two houses in Diggins street, complained that new property should be defaced. The prisoner, in answer to questions by Mr. Paget, said he was employed by Mr. Lawson of Stepney-square, High- Stepney, and ho lived in the Nursery Cottages, Lea Bridge real. Wood—He was very reluctant to give his name and address last night. . Islr. Paget said the best course would be to issue a sum mons against the party who employed the p isoner. It was no use fining the men who defaced the walls. Their em ployers must be reached. He adjourned the case for a week, ordered the prisoner to enter into his own recogni sance to appear next Wednesday, and granted a summons against Lawson, of Stepney 'square* MARKETS—This Day. MAT K-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat were very moderate. The trade, both for Kent and Essex pro duce, held firm, at fully Monday's currency. With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied. A limited business was transacted in all descriptions at the rates current on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates. The supply of barley on offer was seasonably large. Generally speaking, the trade was quiet, on former terms. Malt sold slowly, yet no change took place in its value compared with Monday. There was a fair supply •f oats on the stands, and most descriptions were in steady request, at very full prices. Bcans ruled firm at extreme rates, and peas supported Monday's currency. In flour, about an average business was transacted, at late rates, ARRIVALS THIS WTEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt Oats. Flom.

FIRE AT A LUCIFER MATCH MANUFACTORY.— Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fire broke out in the extensive property belonging to Mr Hymns, iucifer and con greve match maker, carrying on business at 67 and 63, Princes-Equare, Wilson-street, Finsbury. The discovery was made by a police constable of the G division by seeing a body of smoke pouring forth from the south side of the principal warehouse. He at once raised an alarm, and in a brief space the engines of the London Brigade, including hree hind steamers and the Princess of Wales steamer, from Tooley-street, arrived. A bountiful supply of the New River Company's water having been procured, the engines, both land and steam, were set to work ; but the flames by that period had gained the complete possession of four floors of that side of the factory. Captain Shaw, seeing the great danger that existed to the adjoining portions of the factory, had the hose of the various engines brought round, so that the men under him had an opportunity of attacking the flames both fore and aft. The fire, however, continued to spread, and very speedily the cutting rooms, the preparing rooms on the first, second, and third flours were burned out. The firemen, however, kept to their posts, and with the aid of 56 hired men they succeeded in cutting off the further extension of the fire ; but the first, second, and third floor warehouses were burned out and the roof destroyed. The ground floor was also seriously damaged by firo and water. The origin of the fire is unknown. The Late Shaksperian Tercentenary, The last act but one of the Shakeperian Tercente nary drama was performed on Tuesday last in the spacious and beautiful pavilion erected at Stratford for the musical and draniatia specialties of the late festival. Oa Tuesday Messrs. 1:: ttick and Simpson, of Leicester-s quare , so ld by public aucta:::' the effects belonging to th e comm ittee, consisting of an elegant act drop painted by Mr. Telbin, of her Majesty's Theatre; a proscenium, designed by Mr. O'Connor, of the Haymarket ; fly-borders of drapery, sky, &c. ; stage machinery and appliances of sech a perfect and expensive kind that any one would have supposed the building, was to be per manently used as a theatre, with drawing-room furniture, and other et ceteras to match. Tnere was a good attendance of persons engaged in theatrical speculations from Liverpool, London, Leeds, Birmingham, Bradford, &a., bicking for the which is exquisitely painted, and repre sents Shakspere standi ng b e f ore an arc hite c t u r a l act drop, design; the church of Stratford in the distance; me dalions of Thalia and Melpomene, &c. This was accompanied by the most complete machinery for working the drop. The lot was bought by Mr. Shep herd, of the Surrey Theatre, for £26. The prosce nium, with inner proscenium, borders and wing, with Royal arms surmounting the whole, was pur chased by Mr. Hobson, of the Amphitheatre, Leeds, for six guineas. The gas fittings offered for sale were costly, including w i ng li g hts, batten lights, shadowless argand burn ers, b rac k e t s throughout the building, and a rang e o f f oo t lights for the stage, having 45 shadowless burners, with shades and glasses complete ; they were knocked down to Mr. Shepherd for £3 15. a The principal itr%n here was the centre chandelier or corona of above 300 jets, arranged in two rings with groups of jots and six-star burners, bearing treble lights, &c., and this lot was bought by Mr. Clapham, of the Royal Park, Leeds, for 465. Among the other purchasers of theatrical properties was Mr. Simpson, Theatre, Birmingham ; Mr. Wild, of Bradford ; Mr. Day, Crystal Palace Music-hall, Birmingham ; Mr. Montague, secretary to the Christy's Minstrels, &c. There was not less than 1 ,700 efficial programmes of the late festival, published at Is., selling in lots of about 50 at about 45., and about 3,000 chairs in sets of six, twelve, and two dozen, ranging from 2s. to is. 6d. each. The result of the sale cannot have materially benefited the fund. The last act of the festival is yet to be performed —.namely, the pre sentation of the committee's balan ce - s h ee t, It i s discouraging and disappointing to them to know that a very considerable deficiency will be shown; w hether from mismanagement, or the local un popularity of a section of the committee, with whom the county and resident families would have no connection, it is useless to dwell upon. The Lord- Lieutenant of the county (Lori Leigh) has acted generously and m:rked his appreciation of the labours of the committee and his desire to lessen the deficit by voluntarily transferring his subscription of 100 guineas from the Scholarship to the Festival Fund. Lord Leigh's example will, in all pro bability, be followed by the county gentry and residents of Stratford generally, who are contribu tors in some form to the threefold objects of the tor centary, although not to the fund wholly appropri ated to the payment of festival expenses, and many vice-presidents at a distance are only waiting the publication of a balance sheet to co-operate with the committee in relieving the latter body from all pea cuniary responsibility and loss. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, m ay 31.—There is but littie to say about the market either in yarns or cloths. Buyers are evidently indisposed to operate,. either for home consumption or for shipment, untii we have further advices from America. The great struggle in Vir ginia is still the cause of much excitement here,and we are waiting with intense interest the news ex pected by the steamer due tu-morrow, and which may arrive this evening. For shipping yarns ex ceedingly little business has been done, and to make sales spinners would have to take lower prices, though, upon the whole, prices remain pretty firm, owing to the Infinity of spinners being well sup plied with contracts. Home trade yarns are fully as quiet as those for export. Prices arc nominally unchanged, but buyers have displayed very little disposition to purchase for manufacturing purposes. In cloth the market has changed very little since last week. It is quite as flat. Manufacturers are asking the same prices, and are tolerably firm, re fusing business in some cases at lower rates, though it is pretty certain that in most cases where buyers have operated it has been only where easier terms have been conceded than would have been accepted list week. For India no business at all appears to be offering, though the news is not so adverse as first telegrams led us to believe. The market closes flat both for yarn and cloth. The failure of a cotton spinner at Padih am h as been s p o ken of on Change. The liabiliti es are stated at £40,000. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. r eport of this day ' s c l o th-market : There is no chan ge to report in the aspect of our market since Tuesd ay l ast. Buyers st ill s eem dies inclined to operat e , an d the business o f t h e 'd a y bas been very small I with no change on our last quota tions." LEEDS, 31st.--There has been a moderate attend ance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, and and a tolerable amount of cloth changed hands. Where is a fair, steady demand for witneys, strong meltons, pilots, and ordinary black, all wool clothe, and good unions. Plain grave colours and sombre mixtures are preferred to decidedly fancy articles for autumn and winter goods. A small sprinkling of light goods have met with purchasers. Prices are very firm, and may be said to have an upward tendency. Wools comm an d fully last week's rates. the flax trade is steady, both as to prices and de mand. Institution of Civil. Engineers. The president's annual conversazione was held on Tues day3l) at th e h a ll o f t h e I ns titution, Great Gorgveeliiilg George-street, i r ,\estminster. The attendance was a very numerous one, and comprised some of the leading literary and scientific characters of the day. An exhibition of works of art, both ancient and modern ; pictures, s tatuary, &c., formed a pl eas i ng and attractive f ea ture in connection with the immediate object of the con- versazione. Among the modern works exhibited, the artistic produc tions of Messrs. Rowell and James, the eminent goldsmiths of Regent-street, were specially noticeable, the laudable efforts of this firm to introduce fine art designs, and classical forms in their numerous manufactures, well deserving men- in the re cen tl y es t a bli s h e d tion.

TRIAL FOR MURDER AT EDINBURGH,—The trial of George Bryce, on the charge of murdering a young w o man named Jane Seaton, at Ratho, on the 16th of April last, began on Monday before the High Court of Justiciary.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS---This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Belfast and Northern Counties Railway, ;Bristol ati4 South Wales Union Railway, London and North Western (1:.fflo Arrangements), and Oswestry and New town Railway, an d Companies (Arrangements) Bills were read a third time and poßed. The Wandsworth-bridge Bill was :7' sd a second tin". Mr, WHITE presented a petition from Brighton in favour of the Governmea Annuities Bill, Mr. DISRAELI presented a petition against the Test Abolition Bill. THE STEAM RAMS. Mr. J. TOLLEMACHE asked the Attorney-General, whether the offer to sell the Birkenhead iron-clads at the price of £300,000 was made to the Government by the owners, Messrs. Bravay, or by the builders, Messrs. Laird? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the offer un doubtedly came from the gentlemen representing the owners, Messrs. Bravey, no such proposal emanated from the Messrs. Laird TEST ABOLITION BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. TREFUSIS moved that the house go into committee on the bill that day six months. He contended that by the bill an entirely new principle was sought to be infused into the University of Oxford, as persons not members of the Church of England by it would be admitted into the governing body of the University. He had endeavoured to ascertain whether there was any great feeling in favour of the measure out of the house, but he had failed to discover that such existed. He thought the time had come when the Universities should take a decided course on religious matters, but if this bill passed it would tend to make the religious teaching indis• tinct in those establishments, and therefore he hoped a majority of the house would support the motion for its re jection. Mr. LEATH AM strongly supported the bill, as he did not agree in the opinion that it would sever the connection of the Church of England from the governing bodies of the Universities. The objections brought against the bill were by no means new, because they bad been raised on previous occasions, when the Test and Corporation Acts and Jewish Emancipation were under the consideration of the house. He was certain:sooner or later this bill would pass, because it was only conferring that which was eminently the right of those who would come within its provisions. The real reason that had led to the strong opposition of his bill was because it was looked upon as a concession to non-conformity, and that whatever concession was made to non-conformists must be a blow to the Church of England. He could not take such a narrow and confined view of the matter, and therefore he hoped the motion of the hon. gentleman opposite would be rejectod. Mr. C. CLIFFORD was in favour of the bill, as he did not believe the effect of the measure would be to drive into non-conformity tnose who might become members of the Church. He did not sympathise with those who were of opinion that science was opposed to religion. The argu ments of the hon. member for Devon be could characterise as nothing more than antiquated fear, such as was placed in the one who represented the church where Dryden wrote the " Hind and the Panther." He was not afraid that the ocean of dissent would sweep away the spires and towers of Oxford. He therefore supported the motion for going into committee. Mr. MORRISON expressed his intention of supporting the motion for going into committee. [LEFT SITTING.] The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mole pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 13 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than Paris. By *Ellice' from Hamburg the price of gold is 4216 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.52 per £1 stsrlin4 landard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about the same price in London and Hamburg. rho wurse of exchange at New York on London for bills at 40 days' sight is , about 1971 per sent., and the premium on gold is 81} per cent. ♦t these rates there is scarcely any profit ea the isaportatioz of gold from the United States. RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIA MENT.—Yesterday the opposition to the East and West India Dock Company was continued against the extension of the London and Blackwell Railway Company into their waterway. The opposition of the South Devon Railway Company was heard against the proposed Teign Valley Railway. Mr Hawkshaw, the engineer, was examined in favour of the Great Northern Eastern Junction Railway. The case for the Lancashire Union Railway closed, and that for the St. Helen's Railway was opened. The case for the Drayton Junction Railway was also opened in another com mittee ; and that for the Bourton-on .Water Railway closed, and the East Gloucestershire Railway Company stated thei , case. The case for the Brecon and Merthyr (No.) Bill was also considered, together with that of the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway. A committee of the Lords sat to con sider the Great Northern Railway Company's Barnet Branch Extension, and Mr. Seymour Clarke was examined in favour of it, the Earl of Devon in the chair, The im provement of St. Stephen's-green, by converting it into a park and pleasure-grounds, was considered in Mr. Paulrs committee. The committee on the Preservation and Con servancy of the River Thames heard the evidence of water men, lightermen, and barge-owners ; and in the committee on the subways of London Mr. Bazalgette stated, after hearing the evidence of Mr. Hawkesley, the hydraulic engineer, that in order to illustrate the impossibility of ex plosion gas tubes had been laid down in the new South wark-street, for the purpose of testing the whole question, to which the attention of the committee, it was understood, would be directed this morning, prior to giving theirdecision. ALTERATION OF NAME OF RAILWAY STATION. — The directors of the Great Western Railway company have obviated any difficulty likely to arise from there being two railway stations in connexion with each other named Far ringd on-road, one the terminus of the Metropolitan Railway and the other on the Great Western Railway, by altering the name of the last mentioned to that of Challow. Edmund About, the well knawn French author, was married last week to Madlle. de Guillerville, a Normany heiress, at the Chateau de Rouoheralles, near Rouen. The masons and bricklayers of Malton, Old Mal ton, and Norton, in the North and East Ridings, went on strike on Monday. There are, however, a few old hands who remain at work. It is understood the men demand an advanco of 6d per day and shorter working hours—some, a Saturday half-holiday—to which the masters will not accede. YORKSHIRE CRICKETERS INVITED TO FRANCE.— Mr. Richard Clark Thorp, of Barnsley (one of the Stainoross eleven), with one or two other cricketers, have been engaged to examine and report on the best site for a cricket ground for Havre, also to play in fonr matches in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, with the Paris club. Mr. Thorp left on Friday for London. The Duo de Morny is taking the most active part in the arrangements.—Leeds Mercury. BOILER EXPLOSION ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN 4AILWAY.—On Monday, at noon, a moat alarming accident occurred on the London and North Western Railway at Overton station, near Peterborough. Just as the 11.55 train from Peterborough had drawn up in front of the station, the boiler of the locomotive exploded with a terrific report, shattering the platform opposite to the station, smashing the windows of the booking-office, and doing very considerable damage. The driver, named Richmond, was slightly injured, but the stoker escaped unhurt, though he, together with the station-master and the passengers, had a very narrow escape. They were all terribly alarmed, as may be supposed, and several of them refused to continue their journey. The dome of the boiler descended in a field some distance off, and the traffic on the up line was obstructed for several hours. A Turin letter says :—" The death of the Mar quis de Barolo, of this place, has revived an incident of interest to the literary world. In the house of this lady Silvio Pellico passed the last twenty years of his life, and at his death left several unpublished writings in her pos• session. The heirs of Silvio Pellico claimed those works in order to publish 'them, but without success ; but M. Briano, a friend of the author, being now provided with a regular a uthorisation, is preparing to establish the rights of the family." THE SCULPTOR AND THE PREMIER.- - -AMOng the last of Behnes's works were the busts of the late Lord Elgin and Lord Palmerston. The former is in the posses sion of Lady Elgin, but the latter was never completed. It was kept so long in hand that Lord Palmerston declined continuing the sittings. This was at the time thnt the sculptor was busied with his two Havelock statues--the one for Trafalgar-square, the other for Sunderland. It was on the occasion of, perhap s, the last sittin g that Behnes opened the conversation with — " A n y news, my lord, from France ? How do we stand with Louis Napoleon ?" Lord Palmerston raised his eyebrows, looked surprised, but quietly answered, "Really, Mr. Behnes, I don't know; I have not seen the newspapers,''--Cornhlll Magazine, There is nothing new to report in connection with monetary affairs. The relations of the discount market remain unchanged, owing to the suspense created by tho expected reduction of the minimum when the Bank directors hold their weekly court to-morrow. If another). per cent. should be struck off, as every one appears to anticipate, many days will probably not elapse before there is the same difference between the terms enforced at the national establishment and those accepted else- where.

A MOTHER HANGING HER CHlLD.—Yesterday at the West Riding Court at Bradford, Ruth Dri ver, aged 30, was ,tharged with ha v i ng on Saturday attempted to mur der her illegitimate child Amelia by hanging it. The pri soner resided with h er f at h er at Thornton, near Bradford, and was his housekeeper. About 11 o'clock on Saturday morning sbe had hung her child. Two neighbours wont immediately to the house, and found the child of 20 months old suspended by a rope to a hook in the ceiling in the pan try, They rescued the child just in time to restore anima tion after great difficulty. The prisoner has been for some time in a low state of mind, and told the officer who appre hended her that she did not love the child. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next assizes.

We cannot eat them. They are a luxury for which we have no use, and I would like therefore to exchange them for a like quantity of hard tack." The joke is a good one, and has convulsed the Western boys, who have no great a d m iration for the " Liberator of Louisiana."
