articles in the number—not necessary hero to be particularised are of a very miscellaneous cha- ratter. The Dublin. No. 123. Burns, Oates, and Co. This is the nineteenth number of the New Series, or, in other words, of the Dublin .Redivivus. As the chief organ of the Catholics of the United Kingdom, it holds its own, now, with the best of its contem poraries. It is solid, without being ponderous. It is, as a rule, perfectly frank and plain-spoken. Its purpose there is no possibility of misapprehending. The present number in ability, no less than in plain speaking, is above the average. The place of honour is accorded, as is but right, to a very able and ap preciative review of the last three volumes of the Count de Montalembert's great work, "The Monks of the West." Of that noble and illustrious author, we are charmed to see that the Dublin writes thus emphatically : "There is a spontaneous sincerity, a chivalrous devo tion, a simple love of truth for truth's own sake, an utter unselfishness, a frank and hearty manliness about Lis character which compel one to feel that difference with him, however warm or even bitter it may be, can only be difference for the moment; and that whenever or wherever error may make itself manifest, no consideration of con sequences, no false sense of consistency, would keep him for a second on the wrong side. How often, how touch ingly has his career, cast in such difficult, and to him peculiarly burdensome days, proved this—days in which there have been many good, but not very many great Ca tholic public men—but which history will not pronounce to have been altogether barren in that respect, seeing that Ireland gave us in them O'Connell, and France 31onta lambert." As the sufficiently important theme of the second contribution, we have a commentary upon " Arch bishop Manning on the Centenary"—in the very preamble of which we find the reviewer remarking that-66 We shall not be misunderstood then, if we say that we doubt whether the Archbishop has ever published a more important production than the Pastoral before us. It is a pamphlet in deed, and not a volume ; but it contains the mate rial for many volumes. Not to speak of its other valuable contents, it comprises a most careful and well-weighed instruction, how to exhibit the Church's doctrine (1) on her own internal consti tution, and (2) on her relations with the State, in the shape most accommodated to the cir cumstances of this time. This is a task, if we may be allowed to say so, for which the Archbishop is peculiarly fitted." Two dis tinct contributions to Hagiography are num bered among the contents of this current num ber of the Dublin, one relating to " S. Cyprian," the other to "S. Thomas, of Canterbury"—of the latter of whom, hoWever, we have here only the first ball of the biography. "Doctrinal Apostolic Letters" and " Popular Education in England" merit exa mination—the latter more particularly. " The Second Man Verified in History " is the eccen tric title of a paper which is simply the sequel of one published in the preceding number of the Review, under the title of " The First and Second Man." The political article of the num ber, the drift of which may readily be conjectured, bas reference to " Rome and the Revolution." In it but small gratitude—we should not be far out if We said plainly that no gratitude at all—is evidenced towards the Emperor Napoleon 111. Not thus re ticent, however, has been Pope Pius the Ninth, whose reference to the French Emperor, in connec tion with recent events it cannot be forgotten, was Couched in language of the most elevated panegyric. It seems to us ungrateful and ungracious on the part of the Dublin Review its referring so slightingly to the Imperial Master of M. Rouher. Clint Ci LIT. 43 HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 21. The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon, ac companied by Princess Christian and Princess Hen riette of Schleswig-Holstein ; and her Majesty Walked in the grounds this morning, accompanied by Princess Christian.

CABINET COUNCIL.—A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing street. The Ministers present Were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Mahnesbury, the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, Lord Stanley, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, Sir a Pakington, Sir S. Northcote, the Chancellor o f th e Ex chequer, the Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, the Duke of Richmond, Lord J. Manners, the Earl of Mayo, and the Eight Hon. Spencer Walpole. THE TRAGEDY IN MUNICH.—The Augsburg Gazette says :—" Count Chorinski, who was arrested at Munich in consequence of the violent death of his wife, h as just confessed that his mistress, the Baroness Ebery "qi, was the perpetrator of the crime. The latter, how ever, %I ho is in prison at Vienna, had continually denied all Participation in the murder, but on the declaration of her Paramour having been shown to her she confessed her gailt. The judicial inquiry is still continuing, and the h usband and his mistress will shortly be brought to trial at Munich and Vienna respectively ; they will not be con fronted, as the Bavarian tribunal will not allow Count Chorinski to be removed to Vienna, and the Austrian a uthorities refuse the extradition of the Baroness Ebery helayi.,, CRUELTY TO PAUPERS.—At the Exeter Guild hall,, on Monday, a pauper bro ug ht u p f or refractory con duct Was said to have used violence to a police-officer who b ad enforced his warrant by " putting on the twist." 'The Itorkhouse porter, who employed the phrase, appeared to re gard the process as both familiar and legitimate. Every °° e, however, may not know w h a t "th e t w i s t" i s , or h ow c i 8 " put on." According to the account of the pauper Zho und erwen t th e opera ti on it cons i s t s o f se i z i ng a man 3? the wrist and with a firm g r asp en d eavour i ng t o t urn the arrn in its socket. Its effect, like that of " tail twist employed to hasten over-driven bullocks, is im bladiate. The pain is so severe that the sufferer sue qtalbs to it involuntarily. It is, in fact, in the nature, ". 11 d may not be improperly described as a partial applioa `l°ll of the rack. The accused pauper, who seemed in this re spect to speak truthfully, declared that after an interval I , c ' f , a' day or more h e f e lt th e p a i n in his ar m s till. F rom hi s manner in the court it was apparent that he was °f Marta temper, and the gravamen of the charge against tti Was " muttering" against the master; but he was an a ged man, suffering from internal di sease , an d un d er k edical care. OUTRAGEOUS BURGLARY.—At Dewsbury, on Mon tlaY, James Sanderson, a collier, was charged with entering the dwelling of Mr. Brook, of Liversedge, and assaulting that gentleman and his housekeeper, Miss Ex -63r, and stealing money from the person of the latter. The tlisoner, it appeared, went with two men t o M r . B roo k' s , ' 1 having their faces disguised by whiting and strips of raiste r . T hey throttled the housekeeper, and having he ld h er d own, they r i fled her pockets, while they kn ocked her w i t h h er f ace on t h e fl oor. Mr. Brook they down too, but he defended himself with a k n if e , 4 tnade such an alarm that they ran off. The prisoner was remanded. w " MY BRIDE !"—Nettie Ashford is my Bride. e were marr i e d i n th e r i g ht-h an d cl ose t i n th e t cor„in ). °r of the dancing school where first we met, with a f o ' la green one) from Wilkingwater's toy shop.

From most of the country markets the reports speak of inactivity, but without further depression, and at Mark-lane to -day the general totie of the trade was rather firm than otherwise, supplies of most kinds of grain being moderate. English wheat of good quality and condition wore pur chased in retail quantity at the rates of Monday last. Damp and indifferent samples sold unevenly, and in some cases cheaply. Foreign wheats in general were well held, and for the small parcels taken off quite late rates had to be paid. The flour trade is quiet, and quotations remain without variation. These remarks apply to both English and foreign. Malt sustains it value firmly, although but little is pass ing in at the moment. Malting barley attracts but little attention. Grinding qualities are in steady request, and firm in price. Beans and peas moved off slowly without any change in value. Oats in moderate demand at previous rates. In the floating trade there is not much change, but the tendency is firm. Linseed steady. Business done in Calcutta aced at 665. For cotton seed on the coast, £9 los. was the last price paid.

The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling. un exnparing these rates with the English Mint price t. 4 Be us. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that 401 d ie nearly o e-tenth dearer in Paris than in London. rho course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at 80 days' sight is about ►o9i per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the inikortatiou W. gold from the United States. SALMON POACHERS.—The fish poachers on the Wye tributaries are getting more daring. James Martin has been committed for trial for beating Albert Boswick on the head with a loaded gun on the banks of the Usk, at Aberyscir, a favourite spot with salmon fishers. Beswick said Martin presented a loaded gun at him, and threatened to blow his brains out if he searched him. John Gragg and Beswick found an unclean salmon which Martin had taken out of the river with a gaff. Tho fish weighed 191 b. ___ FATAL ACCIDENT AT A PRINT WORIES.—On Monday an inquest was held at Accringion on the body of Lawrence Fishwick, aged 12 years, who was scalded to death on Friday at the Broad Oak Print Works.

The jury re turned a verdict of accidental death. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO WELLS CATHEDRAL.- Oh Saturday morning a violent gale of wind raged in and 'about Wells, which has done damage to the beautiful and unrivalled west front of the cathedral, upwards of three hundredweight of the ornamental work having been blown from the northern tower of, the west front. Fortunately there were np persons passing vt the time, otherwise they must have been instantaneously killed. The cor ner is well known for the violence and power the wind has round it, and is jocularly called " Kill Canon Cor- ner." A GRAVE QUESTION.—The functionaries in th 3 various Ministerial departments at Vienna are at present anxiously expecting au important decision of the Cabinet. Under the Bach Ministry to wear the full beard was pro hibited, and the interdiction still exists. The hope that. it may be withdrawn is founded on the circumstance of M. Giskra, the Minister of the Interior, being the owner of a full beard of great luxuriance, and of his presumed unwil -lin3ness to sacrifice it. The Rev. Charles J. Furlong, who has been for 20 years incumbent of Trinity Church, Boulogne, hits re signed his appointment. rittnatExcE SHARES. Great Western.

THE LONDON QUAYS' WAREIIOI7SES CONPANY.—An application was made to the Master of the Rolls on the part of certain contributories in this company, Low in course of winding up, to appoint a new liquidator. Lord Romilly's Chief Clerk had certified in Chambers that Mr. Stuart was the fittest person to act in that capacity; but it was alleged that during the winding-up proceedings grav e charges brought against the directors would have to un dergo investigation, and it was therefore very desirable that some one should act as liquidator who would be free from all suspicion of being unduly influenced.. The gentle man suggested was Mr. Cooper, whose appointment was sanctioned by the court, the costs of all persons being allowed out of the estate. BAIINED'S BANKING CO3IPAYT.—The case of this com pany came before Mr. Church, the Chief Clerk to the Master of the Rolls, in Chambers, on two applications— one to adjourn the call meeting for another fortnight, and the other to alter the list of contributories, and add other names to those on the register. In this case another dividend is looming in the distance. The creditors liar.° been paid 3s. in the pound, and the call cf £4O has realised a sum of money to justify another dividend, but not to the amount, it is un derstood, of the former. The Chief Clerk granted both applications, adjourning the call meeting, and altering , the list. A number of " ialance orders" have been obtained in this case, but it is said that no one has as yet been sent to prison. When "one more unfortunate" shareholder offers fair terms the parties generally arrange without cancel ment,. It is always better to go to creditors than to stop away. . NOVEL POINT IN LIQUIDATION.—The Chief Clerk of the Master of the Rolls halhad before him the matter of the Monmouth and Glamorganshire Bank. This bank failed in 1851, and now after 17 years the matter came befOre the Chief Clerk in a novel point. Mr. M'Creeght, the London agent, applied that the contributors should receive a further return of £1 per share. The creditors had accepted a com. position of 15s. in the pound. There were some creditors who held circulation notes had not proved, and the question arose whether they were barred by the statute or whether as the winding-up order was dated in 1851, it did not keep the debt alive. It was under the old Act, and at the time there was no certificate of debts from the Innster, excgiding the creditor, who had not proved under the court. The Chief Clerk said it was a novel question of home importance, and he would consider whether some action should not be taken before the creditors were ex cluded from the fund which still remained. COMMON LAW. PROBATE COURT.—Sir James Wilde has had before him the case of Harriott v. Harriott and Harriott.—This was a suit instituted in order to test the validity of the will of a James Harriott, residing at the time of his death in Liverpool and Manchester, and who, it was alleged by the defendant, was of unsound mind at the tinle it was executed. Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendant appeared in person. It seemed that the testator had been a long time in Africa, and returned to this country in 1862, and went to the defendant, his brother, stating that he had amassed a considerable fortune, and was possessed of several ships. The defendant resided at Feltliam, near Liverpool, and shortly after he came back he was taken ill at Liverpool, and defendant went to • purse him there and at Manchester. He was given to habits of drinking, and the defendant endeavoured to correct them. Be was, however, induced, after constantly being re bY his brother James, to leave him, and to go t i livewith o the widow and daughter of another brother; and in July 1866 he made a will in their favour and in that of two other brothers, and left the defendantnothing. The defendant detailed the habits of the testator, and i3tated that his memory was entirely gone, that there had never been any quarrel between them, and that his mind had been prejudiced against the defendant by his brother Frank. The latter had impressed upon testator's mind a belief that the defendant wished to put him into a lunatic asylum, the consequence of which was they parted, and afterwards he was induced to make this will, it was alleged, by undue influence. The deft ndant called members of his family to prove his devotion to his brother, and also others who could prove the state of his mind. The case is still proceeding. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Dity. MANSION HOUSE. A VENDOR OP SHAM JEWELLERY.—At the Mansion House, Peter McDermott, a respectable•looking, elderly man, who described himself as a hatter, was charged before the Lord Mayor with, endeavouring to dispose ( f several spurious articles of jewellery, by falsely represent. ing them to be gold. Henry Hagget, a City police constable, stated that at about half-past four on the pre. vious afternoon a young man, named Arthur Baxter Howard, a hairdresser in Bermondsey, told him that the mate of a vessel had offered to sell him a gold watch-chain and a diamond ring and scarf-pin for R 2 18s., and that he had obtained the money, and had had a look at the articles, and thought they were good. At that time the prisoner passed, and Howard said that was the man. Witness told him that he'was a " duffer," and that if he gave him into custody, he would take him to the station. This was done, and on being searched, the chain, ring, and pin, and some sham studs, were found in his possession. On a former Occasion the prisoner had offered some spurious metal jewellery to Curtis; a plain-clothes officer, who took him into custody, and he was then sentenced to a month's imprisonment. The story he told was that he was mate of a ship, that the captain had died, and that he had broken open his box and taken the jewellery.—Remanded for a week. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. WHOLESALE PLUNDER OF FURNISHED LODGINGS.—At the Middlesex Sessions, before Mr. Payne, Deputy-assistant judge, Emma Minney, 24, was indicted for stealing a sealskin jacket and other articles, value £4O, the property of Dmeille Kenlock, in a dwelling-house. A second indict. ment charged her with obtain:ng by false pretences, from Sarah Fisher, a basket containing a gown and other ar ticles, value £lO, with intent to defraud. A third indict ment charged her with stealing a table-cover and other articles, value £7, the property of Alice Suffert. The prisoner pleaded guilty to all the indictments. In the case of Kenlock, the articles were stolen from the room of a lodger, in the house No. 11, Westmore land-place, Pimlico, and consisted of a sealskin jacket, cloaks, linen, child's clothing, .and other articles, the sealskin jacket being alone valued at twenty--six guineas. Tlio jacket was pawned by the prisoner at Messrs. Dobree and A vants, 43, Drury-lane, for £l. In the case of Mrs Fisher, the prisoner went to her house in Marchmontl street, Brunswick-square, and said she had been sent by Mrs. Young, the laundress, for the washing, as she was unable to come herself, and obtained articles to the value Of £lO. as well as the latter amount for the last week's work, which had been left unpaid. In the case of Mrs. Saffert, the robbery was committed in the same house as that upon Mrs. Kenlock, from which place the prisoner took a large number of articles, and in addition to thal tdibea . bptit a vffiting desk with a screw-driver, and took some small articles found thei-Vin. There was no doubt she was led to a belief that this desk contained money, but in that she was disappointed.—William Franklin, 20 h, said he was present at the sessions of this court in January, 1864, when the prisoner was con- Nficted of . robbipg children in the street of their clothes, and sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for five years. Mrs. Howe, warder of the House of Correction, West. Minster, also proved two other convictions against the prisonet—one for nine months' and one for twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. The judge said every kind of punishment had failed to be a sufficient warning to the prisoner, and the sentence upon her was that she be kept in penal servitude for ten years. SIR WILLIAM BODKIN.—Sir Wilbath Bcdkin, the assistant judge at the Middlesex Sessions, has been pro gressing very favourably. In all probability he will be able to attend to his duties at the Middlesex Sessions house early in the ensuing month. THE SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS.—At the annual meeting Of the Society of Engineers, Mr. Latham said he looked upon the proposal to take the telegraphic system under the control of the Post Office al a measure of a cen tralising tendency, and therefore not to be accepted with out the most careful consideration. He repeated the assertion made that the success of the Germans in manu factures arose from their superior education. Referring to sanitary matters, he observed that a most important improvement that had yet to be looked after was sewer ventilation, as it was quite clear that the volume of water poured into a sewer always displaced an equal amount of mephitic air. This fact had been completely overlooked by the constructors of the old sewers, and sewers must be constructed with the fault remedied. Warwick Lags, entered for 30 SOYA, was sold to Captain Reeve for siigs, after winning a Selling Chase at Reading on Wednesday. James Grimshaw has entered into an engagement to ride for the French stable, and Count Lagrange has now the first claim on his services. . A lot of Mr. Naylor's horses have arrived at E.

TIIE FENIAN ARRESTS AT DEP7FORD, This Afternoon James Richardson, 2, Queen street, Deptford, Florence M'Carthy, 3,5 Princes street, Deptford, and Maurice Lytellton, 103, New street, Deptford, were placed before Mr. Maude, at the Greenwich Police-court, charged with treason felony. Th e men having been placed in the dock, they were formally charged with attempting to ad minister the Fenian oath to a young man named James Banda, an American, with the view of in ducing him to commit treason-felony. James Bandall was the first witness called. He said' be was a draper's assidant. He had been in England five months. He lived in . Deptford. He had chose- to live in Deptford because he had friends living there. He knew Manriee Lytell ton for a week. IL; met him in High-street, Deptford. He (witness) was walking up and down before the White Swan, and he spoke to Lytellton. He aid it was very damp, but that he would soon be in America, where it was frosty. Lytellton said America was in a bad state, and asked me if I was a Fenian. I told him that I should not satisfy any one who I was, as I did not know who I was talking to. Lytellton replied, "That is right, if you knew the trouble I have been in you would keep your mouth shut." He then said, " Will you see me again." I replied, " I don't think I shall have time to see you, as -I am off to America." He said, " I should like to see you before you go." We then separated. I met him afterwards several times in High street. We spoke about America upon those occa sions, but said nothing material. On Saturday last I saw Lytellton in the King William in Welling ' ton-street. A man was with him who is not pre sent. Lytellton introduced me to that man, who asked me to drink with him. Lytellton said, " This is my Yankee friend," and soon afterwards the man he introduced me to asked if I was a Fenian. I said I should not satisfy him. That man said that he himself was a head centre, and that Maurice Lytell ton was only a corporal. He asked me if I would like to be sworn in as a Fenian. I told him I did not know what the oath was, but that I should like to hear it. After that there was a little dis turbance in the house, and then we all went to the King's Head, Church -street. There the man not here asked me if I would go home to supper with him and he would show me six or seven re volvers which he had a patent for. I told him I would not go with him, that it was getting late, and that I should go home. He then asked me to meet him on Sunday at one o'clock at that house. I then left him outside the house, and on the Sunday at half-past one o'clock I went to the King's Head, and found Maurice Lytellton, James Richardson, M'Carthy, and ithe other man. They were all standing in front of the bar. This was the first time I had seen either M'Carthy or Richardson The man here asked me if I would take the oath. I told him I did not know what the oathWas;l; said " you shall have it then if you like." I replied " No," not at present, for I must get home." H e said, " Oh, no, lets go to the King William," and we all five went there together, and we had some thing to drink. The same man and Maurice Lytellton then asked me to go into a private room, for they wanted a little private conversation. [The prisoner Lytellton here requested that the landlord of the King William should go out of court. This was at once complied with, and the examination was resumed]. They asked for the key of the room, and upon going in Lytellton asked me "If I was a de teci,ive." I replied "No." Lytellton then took out a memorandum book, and he put down my words, viz., " I swear by my God I am not a detec tive." Upon that the man not here took a small Testament out of his pocket, and handed it to me and said, " This is for you to take the oath." I said, " I don't know what the oath is, and I should like to hear it read ever." Lytellton and the man not present then both took hold of the book, and Lyttellton administered ~he oath to the man to show me what it was. Lyttellton did not read the oath, but he said it from memory as follows : " You will forswear all allegiance to the Sovereign of Great Britain, and take up arms against the British Government in the Fenian cause, and defend the rights of Ireland when called on, so help your God." The man kissed the book, and then handed it to ine. I took hold of the book, and the man not here repeated the same word to me, and asked me to kiss the book. I said, "I can't exactly understand what you said." He asked me if I was a damned fool, and M'Carthy said, " Any one can see that you are an lrishncaa, don't be a damned traitor to your country—kiss the book." I replied, "I will not," and he said, " Then you are a -- traitor." Some one then came to the door and insisted upon having it opened, as it was nearly three o'clock. The door was locked, but one of the men in the room opened it, and we all left. 'After some further evidence, the prisoners were remanded. SPORTING INTEL LIGENGE—This Day. LONDON BETTING—Tins DAT. There was a good muster of members at both the Vic toria and Albert Clubs this day.

SENDING THI?EATENING LE2TERS.' The following appeared in our latest edition of pester- dap : Yesterday afternoon Elizabeth Darling, lately a do mestic in the service of Mr. Burgess, the wholesale oil and pickle merchant, 107, Strand, was placed before Mr. Flower, at the Bow-street Police-court, charged on suspicion with writing and sending a number of threatening letters to her employer. Mrs. Burgess stated that for some time past the greatest uneasiness had prevailed throughout the establish meat in consequence of letters of a most alarming de scription, some of them threatening the burning of the house and injury to life, being found in different parts of the house. Mr. Hunt, the Superintendent of St. Martin's division of special constables, be coming aware of the circumstance, a number of men were employed to watch the pre mises night and day. From certain suspicious circumstances the prisoner's movements were watched, and at length she was questioned on cer tain statements she had made to Mrs. Burgess, -all of which turned out a tissue of falsehoods. She was then accused of writing the letters, and another domestic servant then stated some other matters connected with the finding of the threatening communications that led to such a strong suspi cion against the girl Darling that she was given in cuscody. A witness proved the similarity of the prisoner's handwriting to the letters in question, but she most solemnly protested that she was not the person who wrote them, but she confessed to having told many falsehoods to her mistress. Mr. Flower remanded the prisoner for a week in order that her friends might be communicated with. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.—At the Liverpool Police.. Jourt, yesterday, Henry Hallington, quartermaster on board the African mail steamer Calabar, was charged, under the 239th section of th e Merchant Shipping Act, with having smuggled a quantity of lucifer matches on board that vessel. The owners of the Calabar were bound, under contract with the Govern ment, not to carry anything which would endanger the safety of the mails. They did, however, carry gunpowder, but for this purpose, the ships were fitted up with magazines similar to a war ship. The matches in question were discovered in the forecastle, within a few inches of 40,0001 b of gunpowder. It is supposed that the very high prices seamen obtain for matches on the coast induced the prisoner to commit this offence. He denied having taken the matches on board ; the contrary, however, was proved, and ho was sentenced to four mon , hs' imprisonment. PRESBYTERIANISM IN SCOTLAND.—Mr. Moncreiff, M. P., delivered a lecture to the Edinburgh Young Men's Christian Association on Monday night, in which he pointed out the general characteristics of the Presbyterian party in Scotland during the struggles for the independence of the people m the seventeenth century, and maintained that the Presbyterian party were not justly liable to many imputations which had been brought against them, and that the germs of our civil liberties were to be found to a large extent in the struggles of that party in Scotland in the six■ teenth and seventeenth centuries. He also defended the Scotch Covenanters and Presbyterians from the charge of intolerance, contending that their conduct contrasted favourably with that of any other party in power at that period. Mr. Moncreiff received a cordial vote of thanks for his lecture from the association. THE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF CHESTHRE. —The re signation by the Marquess of Westminster, K.G., of the high office of Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, is an event which will come with a painful feeling of regret on the public mind. The same high sense of duty which has actuated the noble Marquess throughout the long period of his tenure of office, induces him to ask to be relieved from its cares, when he feels, though no one else has perceived any indication of the fact, that advancing age may by and by make jt impossible for him to continue at the head of the county administration with the same advan tage to the public service for which his Lord Lieutenancy has hitherto - been distinguished. While sensible that Lord Westminster's loss cannot be easily, if indeed at all adequately in all points replaced, we cannot allow our regret for the fact to outweigh the cinsideration that no public man has better earned a • title to honourable repose. Rumour already points as the probable new Lord Lieutenant to a nobleman whose large stake in the county, coupled with his high reputation and business habits, would make his selection a very popular one to fill the vacancy so much regretted. —Chester Courant. THE CASE OF MATILDA GRIGGS. —Mr. Ruskin, in enclosing a cheque for £4O to the editor of a con temporary, for the purpose of procuring Matilda Griggs's release from custody, s ays .—"Except in Gil Bias I never read of anything Astrcean on the earth so perfect as the story in your fourth article to day. I send you a cheque for the Chancellor. If 4001 e, further tlheegra requirementsternis , means 400, ycu must ex pl a i n to your impulsive publi c ." £4O is all that is required , and our cantemporary has receiv s e a y s t s fi u r t s ntfrom down another gentleman, vho And personally release the puor debtor ; but, upon Iserid father, th reflection, I considered that your mission ; for a e nd me l a v n h s en of release re r it was your kind o r happyeo v e r, i nterference that awoke my,ympathy. is the spirit of M a parting kiss, and Good night , l e e c a e s i e v dad,' from my pets, _ I shall feel I have been enabled to bestow a similar blessing to-morrow up on the parents of poor Matilda." It is expected that the young woman will be discharged from custody by the registrar of the Chelmsford County Court this day. A FATAL LEAP.--resterd4 morning t fatal acci dent happ-med at the Shrub-hill Railway Station, at Worcester, through a passenger alighting from a train when in motion. It appears that on the previous afternoon a special train left Glocester fur Birming ham, calling at Worcester and other intervening stations, taking passengers to Birmingham for the pAntoinime, and returning next morning. The train was a heavy one of between twenty and thirty carriages, and on reaching Worcester was stopping at Shrub-hill Station, when a carpenter named Steed, residing at :Nlcrryvale, in that city, imprudently opened the door of the carriage in which he was riding, and jumped out before the train had come to a stand-still. The result was that he was twisted round and fell back upon the line, the wheels of the carriages passing over his legs and inflicting fearful injuries on other parts of his person. On the train coming to a stop he was extricated in a fearfully mangled state, and, a stretcher having been procured, was carried at once to the Wor cester Infirmary insensible and apparently in a dying state. In fact he only lived three or four hours, when death put an end to his sufferings. The accident occa sioned the greatest consternation among the pas sengers. DEATH OF DUFFY, THE FENIAN, IN MILLBANK Puisos.—Yesterday afternoon a coroner's inquest was held by Mr. Charles St. Clair Bedford respecting the death of Edward Duffy (formerly a diaper in Dublin), in the Peni, tentiary, Milbank.

The jury returned a verdict of Natural Death. olars lent, lica- rece- leer -6 of erior long For, idles II- cer- ou tied, th e that arest ip— ence nian znte. to hrhy, 'erly lers, tido !hat hal ious s of M." 71111- ow rery t as ,ple, ,rti- we his low* ula ,n 10 r is ,t of ,SS it inlet Dtt's Bal beed ace he Her ws- uni- ro UI iar- tn." r in iew, tho 0 of O tter alar wd, 31170 all , r of ;sl'B.
