F. G. Molyneux, magistrate, on the charge of professing and pretending to tell fortunes. A respectable woman., named White, was jealous of her husband being too intimate with another woman, and, going to the old woman Head, who was pretty generally known in the neighbour hood as a tort une-teller, she inquired it her fears were true. The old woman said they were, but in a few days she would bewitch the other woman, as by burning a chemical cc m pound which she could obtain only at one shop, and which would cost ls., she would cause her to have the most ex cruciating pains. The woman White went home, but, being taken suddenly ill with severe pains, she rushed to the old woman's house and told her that she must have been burning the wrong woman. Head said she had not then commenced the operation, so White went home, but in a short time became delirious, and still continues in that state. ipplication• just the per" RAILWAYS.-PREFERENCE S LURES AND STOCKS.

M r. Ericsson, in his l e tt er , says—" Calculations which I have just completed have satisfied me that if the sun's rays, now wasting their strength on the house tops of Philadelphia, were condensed, they might be used to set 5,000 steam engines of 20-horse power each in motion. To give an instance, let us suppose a Swedish square mile (equal to 40 English) covered with condensing apparatus and sun machines. Let one-half the surface be occupied by build ings, roads, etc., and we have still 648,000,000 square feet free for our purpose. Now, as my condensing apparatus has demonstrated 100 square feet to be amply sufficient for the production of one-horse power, it follows that 64,800 steam engines of 100-horsepower each can be worked with the rays thrown on a Swedish square mile. I assert that by condensing the rays of the sun a force could be created that might arrest the earth in its course: In a thousand years or so— a drop in the ocean of time —there will be no coal left in Europa unless the sun be put in requisition. True, the rays of the sun are often prevented from reaching us ; but, with such a large magazine whence fuel may bo obtainA, without labour or transport to draw upon, exporiencod engineers will have no difficulty in laying up a store against the rainy day. A large portion of the earth's sur face is, moreover, illuminated by an ever unclouded sun. The area over which the sun machine can work may therefor p. he reganlo , l as equally unlimited as the a uouut of force that can be generated." 103 105 103 10i li lip a kip li j lip at LS PERILS OF TILE SEA.--Tile Times says it is rather staggering to find, in the face of all that modern science has effected for navigation, that, as regards a very large class of vessels, the loss of life and property at sea during the last twenty or thirty years, so far from greatly diminishing or even remaining stationary, has actually very much increased. According to Mr. Hall, of New castle, who speaks with the authority of long professional experience, the rates of insurance "are now iu many cases double what they formerly were, and while at the low premiums of a quarter of a century ago underwriters realised fortunes the business is now most unprofitable, notwithstanding the high rates of the present day."

NORTH SnltorsumE.—At a meeting of Liberals held at Shrewsbury it was determined to start a candidate in oppo.. sition to Lord Newport and Mr. Gore for North Shropshire. Mr. Jebb, a county landowner, has accepted the nomination, and his address has been issued. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—Another candidate for the honont of representing the University of Dublin has sprnng up. He dates from "the Temple, London," and signs himself T. Do Meschin. Mr. De Meschin is a Liberal, and was until re cently a candidate for Marylebone, where, however, he found his chance of success hopeless. KENDAL.—Mr. Thomas Briggs, of Manchester, a candi date for Kendal in the Conservative interest, in opposition to Mr. J. Whitwell, Liberal. Mr. Briggs, in his address, speaking of the Irish Church, says :—" Upon the ;Treat question of the day, the disestablishment and dis endowment of the Irish Church, I am firmly convinced that disestablishment would be most injurious and disendow ment most unjust, and, therefore, if I have the honour to re present you in Parliament, I should give Mr. Gladstone's measure for the spoliation of the Irish Church my strongest opposition." SHREWSBrItY-Mr. George Tomline, who has represented f3hreccsbury for nearly 30 years, has offered himself to the electors of Grimsby. NORTHAMPTON.—The Conservative candidates for the borough are Mr. Merewether, Recorder of Leicester, and Mr. Lendrick, late secretary to the Earl of Mayo. There are four Liberals in the field. BeuNsTAPLE.--Finding his chances of election small, Mr. William Abbott, who dated an address from the Grosvenc9 Hotel, Belgravia, to the Conservative electors, has retired• The Conservatives will now bring forward Capt. William* a local gentleman of somo influence. EAST CORNWALL.—Mr. N. Kendall, who has represented the county ever since 1852, when he defeated Mr. Carew, the Conservative member, by a narrow majority, has retired from the contest. Mr. Brydges Willyams and Sir John Trelawny, the Liberal candidates, will therefore bo elected without ,opposition. This is a gain of one seat—counting two votes on a division—to the Liberal party. 'Me Times announces that all disputes now pending between America and Great Britain are to be referred to & commission, consisting of four persons, two to be chosen by each Government, with power to nominate a fifth as umpire. To this commission will be submitted al) questions that have arisen between the two Governments since 1853. The Alabama difficulty—that is, the primary question of whether Great Britain is liable for the depre dations committed by the cruiser—will be left to the arbi tration of a European monarch of the highest class. As the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Russia are both, according to the Times, considered ineligible, the King of Prussia is evidently the sovereign chosen. If the arbiter decide that England is liable for the losses in flicted by the Alabami, the commission will then go to work to determine the amount of the various individual claims. The recognition by England of the South as a belligerent is not to be pressed. The commission will also have to investigate the question of the denationalisation of British emigrants who became citizens of the United States, and the San Juan affair, which so nearly caused a war between the two countries nine years ago. The formal announcement that the difficulties between the two countries were at an end was made by Mr. Iteverdy Johnson at the Guildhall. He forbore, however, to state the means by which the end was brought about ; and the responsibility g the above statement rests thor<e• fore with the Ttit in, . EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocs.

He is now confined to his bed, and his medical attendant, Dr. Campbell, of Largs, insists that he must rest com pletAy. There is, we b3lieve, a slight hope that Mr. Cranford will no able to make his appearance on the hust ings at the elective for the Ayr burghs.—Scotsman. THE MAYOR OF BIRMINGHAM'S BANQUET.--Mr, John Bright, M.P., attended the Mayor's banquet at Bir mingham last evening. He did nut allude to politics fur ther than to say ho hoped that, at the expiration of the contest, both parties will peacefully trust to the wisdom of the country, with its wide constituencies represented in Parliament, for beneficial measures and policy. Messrs. Bromley-Davenport, M.P. for North Warwickshire, and Dixon, M.P., also responded to the toast of the county and borough members. SMUGGLING.—A. bolt' of officers of her Majesty's Customs, headed by two examining officers, yesterday paid a visit to her Majesty's screw Indian Relief troopship Serapis, Capt. John C. Soady, now lying in dock at Ports mouth, awl, proceeding direct to the foretank room, pulled out, apparently to the great astonishment of those of the officers and crew standing by, 38 bags filled with leaf to bacco, which had been stowed away between the tops of the tanks and the deck beams. The whole was, of course, seized and conveyed to the Custom-house, where it was found to weigh within a few pounds of 18 cwt. No own er was forthcoming. PAROCHIAL RATES.—In conseejpence of the complaints made in the parish of St! Pancras of the great increase of parochial taxation, the vestry has in serted a printed notification on the application papers for the current half-year's rates, that they have no control whatever over the expenditure of the following rates, which they are required to collect and pay over:—X4l,ooo for the guardians, £13,806 for police, £9,209 county rate £1,157 Metropolitan Fire Brigade, £OOO Burial Board, £OB4 public baths and wash-houses, £BOO collectors' poundage and other expanses chargeable on the poor-rate and £3,720 towards providing for £9,430 deficiency on the last rate —total on poor rate EY:count, £73,9 !6, being equal to a rate of Is. 6d. in the pound ; main drainage rate required by Metropolitan Board of Works, £11,573. The rates over which the vestry have control being the general rate of 6d. in the pound, and lighting rate Id. in the pound. LEICESTER AND W ALTHAM AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.--The annual ploughing match of this society took place on Tuesd Ey last at Mowsley, on the farm of T. Wilson, Esq., of Knaptoft. The competition at this meet ing has for two or three years past been confined to bona fide farmers and farm servants, and on this occasion 27 men and boys competed for the prizes. The champion prize (a silver cup or money), value live guineas ; a silver cup in the farmers' eons' class ; and the first prize in the boys' class, were won by competitors using Messrs. Ran somas' ploughs.—On the same day, at Newmarket, five out of the six first prizes (including the champion prize) were awarded to the work produced by the same implements ; whilst at Wells, by the same implements, on Tuesday, and Tenbury Wells on Thursday, the All England Prizes were both won by Messrs. RaLsomes' man, Barker. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—There are two scullers' watches now pending, each for £2OO aside and the honour of the championship of the Thames. In the first, which is fixed for the 17th inst., Kelley, the vete vwehr,o has tle r d a o n n , e i s w p o i n t t d e s d r f a u g l a p i u e s r t f o a r y m o s u n n ee g s a n o d n f r h e i s s h n a a sp ti i v ra e nt r ' i Tyne. The second match is to take placeonth le e sc l u s i to r f December, between Kell e y and Joseph Sadler—a of much note, who has generally been unfortunate in his races after the first mile. Bath events are to be rowed over the usual course of four miles and a quarter, from Putney to Mortlake, and both are looked upon with great interest by rowing men in all parts of the country. Kelley, after his many and severe contests, rooks just now as well as ever, but it is said that he rows rather stiffly and short. Betting on the first race was in favour of the Newcastle man until last week, when what spe culation there is on the matter was brought round to evens. BRIDGEWATER COLLIERIES.—The sinking and fixing of the last lift, or set of pumps, at the Mosley Com mon collieries , belonging to the Bridgewater Trost, has been completed. The depth is 1,020 feet, and tho working of the collieries will give employment to a large numhJr of persons, as there are four or five seams of coal, which will last for many years.
