Very deep and very general will be the satisfac tion with which the intelligence of Dr. LIVING STONE'S safety will be received in this country. Notwithstanding the known untrustworthiness of the Johanna men, the account which they gave of the murder of the distinguished traveller was so circumstantial, and the whole affair was so probable, that there was ground for great anxiety and appre hension. No less an authority than Sir SAMUEL BAKER, whose knowledge of the country and its in habitants is extensive and accurate, gave it as his opinion that Dr. LIVINGSTONE had added another to the long list of victims who had given their lives for the cause of scientific discovery. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON, though without Sir SAMUEL BAKER'S personal acquaintance with the dangers of the country, judged, as the event proves, w ith more accuracy. He reminded Dr. LIVING STONE'S friends and admirers that the fate of ex plorers had often been uncertain, and that at one time Sir SAMUEL BAKER himself was given up for lost. The difficulty and uncertainty attending all the means of communication in uncivilised countries, the deficiency of any regular meads of transit, and the solitudes into which the adventurer must pene trate, all combine to render his chance of forward ing regular news to his friends at a distance very small indeed. These considerations, while they in crease the danger, increase also the probability of the traveller's safety in spite of his prolonged silence. It is undoubtedly a long while since direct intelli gence was received from Dr. LIVINGSTONE, but the news we publish this day gives us good reason to hope and believe that we shall yet welcome him home crowned with fresh laurels, and bringing great discoveries. The search expedition has returned. Its principal members arrived yesterday at Ply mouth, satisfied that Dr. LIVINGSTONE was not murdered, as the Johanna men - reported. He did not, it seems, take the route expected from the Ruvuma River along the north coast of Lake Nyassa, but from the Ruvuma went south, round. the south end of Lake Nyassa. Possibly some intelligence he may have gathered on the spot induced him to change his route. From thence he proceeded to the north-west, and was left pursuing that route, either with the view of ex ploring the west coast of Lake Nyassa, and thus ascertaining how far it extended to the north, and then proceeding to Lake Tanganyika, or else he had gone direct for Tanganyika, and thence down the Nile home. Should the latter supposition be correct we may soon hear from Dr. LIVINGSTONE himself. The particulars of his journey, at any rate, from the information gathered by Mr. YOUNG and his colleagues there is no more reason to fear for his safety than there would have been had the story of the Johanna men never been circulated. The places mentioned by them— Mataka, Marenga, and Maksura—were found on the southern route instead of on the northern. The search expedition followed Dr. LIVINGSTONE up to within a few miles of where it was reported the murder took place. They found that the doctor and his " boys" ware ferried over a marshy lake by Marenga, but the JohOna men, under MOOSA, made a detour round the lake, and returned the next day to Marenga, saying that they had deserted LIVINGSTONE and should return to the coast, because he was leading them into a country where they would be murdered by the Mavite. The members of the expedition had inter views with the native porters who had carried Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S luggage five days' journey further to Pasombe. This news then is of a different character from that set on foot by the Johanna men. They were evidently desirous of screening themselves from blame, having deserted their leader. It is quite in accordance with what we know of Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S enterprise and determination that he should have pushed on regardless of their treacherous and cowardly conduct. The fidelity of such attendants is never worth much, as African travellers have found over and over again. Dr. LIVINGSTONE is happily no novice in his difficult and dangerous undertaking. He has passed safely through a thousand perils, and we may now cheer fully hope that under PROVIDENCE his courage and aelf-reliance will be rewarded with full success. The Fenian news, which for some time past has been languishing, is now most exciting and inte resting. With the exception of the men who escaped at Manchester the police have been most fortunate in having captured the chief members of this movement. The public will learn with especial interest that it is confidently believed the perpe trator of the Clerken well outrage has been cap tured. If so it will indeed be a great thing, for such a miscreant is most unfit to be left loose on society, and one feels naturally indignant at the thought of the author of so much misery escaping with impunity, while his unfortunate victims are feeling the dread ful effects of his villainy. On Saturday afternoon the police at Glasgow found two men on the public road at Glasgow, and their attention was aroused by the sound of firing. They apprehended them, and communicated with the authorities in London, supposing them to be Fenians. When the detec tives arrived from London it was found, further more, that the prisoners had been connected with the Fenian movement here, and also that one of them BARRATT, was the man who had set fire to the barrel of gunpowder outside the Clerkenwell prison. Until a few months ago it seems that these men have been resident in Glasgow for a year or two; It seems strange that, having so far escaped detection since the outrage, they should not have been more circumspect in their movements, but a sort of fatality often appears to attend those who are similarly circumstanced, and to lead them on to destruction. These pri soners are now in London, and therefore the full particulars concerning them will soon be obtained. On Saturday evening Bedford-square, Blooms. bury, was the scene of more Fenian exploits, and a man was arrested by two detectives, whom they had kept a sharp look out upon for two or three days previously. As soon, however, as they signified their intention of taking him prisoner, he discharged a revolver at them, but fortunately no injury was done. He ran off, but they succeeded in following and securing him. He was brought up at Bow street to-day. His conduct, after the police spoke to him, fully justifies the course they had pursued, and confirms their suspicions in the most unequivocal manner. A few years ago we should have been surprised to learn that the days were coming when firing in the streets of London would be an every-day occurrence almost, at any rate that the account of it would produce no great wonder. The desperate conduct of all who attach themselves to this cause of Fenianism is most ex traordinary, and it certainly proves that they can only be dealt with in the most summary style and in the most determined spirit. In Ireland also the authorities have been busy, as some notable arrests have been made. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN was arrested in Queenstown on some charge of Fenian conspiracy. The sentiments which he entertains towards this country are well known to be of a hostile nature, and if he takes up Fenian ism, it is high time that some check should be put to his proceedings. At the same time two others were: taken, a commercial traveller, and a merchant of Boston. The reputed editor of the Irishman, Dr. WATERS, has been arrested under the Lord-Lieute naut's warrant and placed in Kilmainham Gaol. He took a prominent part in the funer a l p rocess i on at Dublin. A most daring act was performed in this city, for a Fenian proclamation was actually posted in front of the Mansion-house. It was not at first noticed by the police, butt when attention was drawn to it, in consequence of the crowds that had collected in the vicinity, it was of course removed. This extraordinary proceeding shows chiefly the defiant spirit which animates these characters, and the utter lawlessness of their conduct. Their great object appears to be to ex hibit their untiring hostility to all constituted authority, and their determination to exult in their power to set the law at defi ance. The principal object of the inflated address thus posted was to proclaim that the Irish men of America were united, and that the Irishmen of England had better follow their example if they wished to succeed in their attempts at liberty. A court-martial has been held on Sergeant MAGUIRE of the 72d Highlander; on the charge of complicity with the Fenlaw. The result is not yet known, but the evidence was much against him. It is indeed astonishing to see how this mischievous conspiracy has spread in all directions and penetrated into quarters where it could not have been sup posed to find an entrance. After all these striking instances of the dangerous character of Fenianism, it is satisfactory to find that the Special Constable movement is progressing most favourably, an d duringt zeal the past t week it has b een carr i e d on w i th unflagging and spirit. The chief thing to notice in connection with this affair is that the movement is not confined to any particular class. The greatest preponderance is given to the working part of the community, but that follows as a matter of course when the same spirit animates the different sections of society. This is very pleasing intelligence indeed ; so litttle can we estimate the character or measure the strength of the Fenian movement that a sudden call may be made upon any parish in London, and it is espe cially important that all should be in readiness if the emergency arise. The numerous captures that have been made are most, encouraging, for it is useless to expect that Fenianism can be put down effectually until its leaders are rendered harmless. A decisive step must be put to their proceedings, or else their manoeuvres and machinations may again perplex us when the uninitiated may fancy that all danger is over. It is somewhat mortifying to find, after all the long and costly preparations for the expedition to Abyssinia, that we have, as usual, to lament over a whole catalogue of mistakes and omissions. So far as the main business of the expedition is concerned all promises well. The people, instead of offering any formidable resistance, vie with each other in proffers of friendship and assistance. The KING caa hardly keep his army together, and is confronted by a powerful land of rebels, independently of the foreign invaders. The captives, according to the last intelligence received from them, were well, and looking anxiously for their deli verers. The climate is by no means so bad nor the access to the country so diffi cult as was feared. Water and food are ob tainable, and the health of the troops continues good. The entrance to Abys3ivia presents no more difficulties than might be expected from a hilly country, and all obstacles can be surmounted by a little energy and patience. On the road to Senafe the path upon the hills suddenly narrows and then ascends with great abruptness, so that it was a tedious matter to get the commissariat mules up, especially as the attendant sepoys were almost too lazy to pick one up if it fell. Still all these are minor matters, and there is nothing formidable about the Abyssinian Expedition so far but the misman agement which invariably attends British exploits of the kind. The mules are dying at Annesley Bay by the hundred, partly from disease, and partly also front want of care and from want of water. With all, the preparation there is a lack of con densers, and the muleteers have been so badly cared for that they have deserted in large numbers. They, too, have suffered from want of water, which a little care might have procured, and have suf - fered, too, for want of warm clothing, which was promised to them before starting. One mule driver actually died of cold at Senafe, while at Annesley they are suffering from the thirst produced by excessive heat. Again one European regiment is kept waiting at Annesley for warm clothes, and the combination of Snider rifles with Enfield ammunition is another of the official blunders. Tents are lacking for the labourers, and should the rainy season came on the omission would prove a very serious one. Surely our autho rities at home and at Bombay might manage things a little better. Some blunders may be excusable in time of war, but such a host of omissions when no actual fighting was going on are altogether un pardonable. LATEST INTELL MEN GE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. NEW YORK, Jan. 19. The receipts of cotton during the past week at the United States ports amount to 80,000 bales, being a decrease of 4,000 bales as compared with the previous week. The exports during the same period were to Great Britain 49,000 bales, to Havre 9,000 bales, and to other Continental ports 16,000 bale 3. Stock at all American ports 350,000 bales.

A FOREIGN VIEW O F THE Q U EEN'S BOOK.—" The Diary of the Queen of England"—a touching record of sorrows and souvenirs written in memory of Princo Albert and of the domestic happiness of the Queen, has been just published in London. Nothing is at onco mote honourable and more sad than this uncoloured history of a life ab sorbed by conjugal affection and undivided family solici tude. It is the record of a woman not of a Queen. The Queen is inexhaustible in her admiration of the Prince Consort, and when she quotes the words or the acts of this royal model, we are quite surprised to find them of the ordinary and common type. The fact is they were trans figured by the Queen's love. A tone of extreme sim plicity and naturalness pervades these familiar utterances. The Queen's children are every where called by the in fantine abbreviation of their names—the Prince of Wales "Bertie," Prince Alfred " Affie." Occasionally a charitable visit, a walk resulting in some kind act, lights up the re cord of this life of private affection and of real religion.— Le Nord. WESTMINSTER ABBEY.--In consequence of consi derable inconvenience having arisen to the public from unauthorised persons in the neighbourhood of the Abbey assuming the character of guides, and thus misleading and exacting money from visitors, under the pretence of show ing them the precincts and the entrance to the church, Iv e are requested to warn the public against all such persons, and to state that the north door of the Abbey is always open on week days from 7.45 a.m. till dusk, and on Sun days, for the services, both this door and that by Poet's corner. On week-days the latter door is closed for the present, in consequence of the works for the restoration of the Chapter -house close by.

Om. j Afternoon, Oh. lm, CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY, Jan. 19. Discussion in Paris is absorbed in the tediously long letter of the Duke de Persigny on the French press laws. It contains a little meaning diluted in a sea of words. The writer apprehends that the new press law to be immedi ately introduced in the Corps Ldp;islatif will enable a host of petty journals to start " without authorisation," who will indulge in libels on private character. The fact is, that the French papers are rarely prosecuted for private libel or scandal. They are harassed by communiques, warnings, and prosecutions for comment on the acts of the Government. M. de Persigny would have the public prosecutor authorised to defend private persons against attacks in the press. Apropos of the French press prosecutions, the director and principal editor of the Courrier Francais, for " de faming the police and publishing false news," have been punished thus :—M. Lepage, a fine of 1,000 francs ; M. Vermorel, 1,500 francs and one month's imprisonment. M. Dubuisson, the printer, must pay a fine of 500 francs. The death of M. Boniface, of the Constitutionnel, has put an end to the action against that journal. Gustave Albitte, dating from Ventnor, Isle of Wight., writes to the Liberte, asking why they should not agitate in France against the new military law as they would in Eng_ land against unpopular legislation. Girardin replies : "The liberty of meeting being prohibited in France, only two things are possible, resignation or ' the explosion of the boiler,' as in 1830 and in 1848 l" The references are suffi ciently obvious. The way in which the Etendard endeavours to magnity the importance of Fenianism would be amusing if it did not display an animus which in a semi-official journal Is un• pleasant. It has just informed its readers, virtually. that there a secret understanding between Russia and the United States to foster Fenianisrn, and that the Govern ment of the Czar sees a resemblance between the Pan-Slave movement and that of the Brotherhood. The same journal asserts that the Lord-Lieutenant has seized and prosecuted the Irishman on suspicion only, and that if the press of England enjoys freedom, it is not on account of the laws, which are " more than severe—barbarous," but because of their wisdom and loyalty. This at a time when some of the official papers and nearly all the Opposition press in France is being prosecuted both for com ments and reports admitted to be faithful, is rather cool. It is part of the systematic attempt to convince our allies that they are under a better regime than prevails in Eng_ land, but it does not prevent them from sighing fos liberte comme en Angleterre. In connection with the Alabama correspondence, t statement in the Liberte appears significant. It is to the effect that Mr. Bancroft has been authorised by the United States Government to commence negotiations with Prussia fcr a new maritime and commercial treaty, the disguised object of which is to assist Prussia to increase her naval forces dans un bref delai. We see by the Italian newspapers that the conduct o the Rattazzi Government in secretlyencouraging the Gari 4 baldian expedition meets with almost universal censure.. The Gazette d'ltalie, Pepereranza, and Nazione alike repro bate the duplicity. Letters from Florence represent the situation or tno Italian Government as very precarious. M. Menabrea despairs of mating his Cabinet popular. The Mazzinians have recommenced to agitate at Florence and at Sienna, and rumours are again revived of a coup d'etat to cut short the suspense. The currency difficulty has grown almost insupportable. It is stated that the Government is about to strike a bronze currency of 20 million francs. According to the Etendard, Prince Nicholas, of Monte. negro, has limited his demand on the Government of the Porte to the free use, instead of the possession, of a port in Albania. The French Government will second this demand of the Montenegrins. A good story is told of the alleged intention to elevate the Archbishop of Paris into a cardinal. When the idea was suggested to the Pope he added another to his mime.' rous bons mote. " Mgr. Darboy !he is red enough (asse--. : - i'ouge) already, without the addition of the purple of tht Church." According to a communique in the Avenir National', there are in France 393,000 children who neglect primary education, and 652 communes without a school. Matters are worse than this, I fear, in England. • ._,••••.._ • THE AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MAlLS.—There are three steamers due at Liverpool this week with the American and Canadian mails. On Wednesday next the -1 Inman Company's steamer City of Washington, with dates from New York to January 11, may be expected at Liverpool, and on the same day the Nova Scotia, with cor responding advices from Portland, will no doubt reach tho.: Mersey. On Saturday next the Scotia will leave the . Mersey for New York with the United States mails. THE LATE SElltirEAll DitErc.—The committee, for raising a fund for the widow and family of the late' , Sergeant Brett, who had Elie custody of the police-van from which Kelly and Deasy were released, and fell a victim to his devotion to his duty, have invested the funds placed at their disposal in such a way as to secure for Mrs. Brett 21s. per week, and --UOO for the children at her death. About two o'clock on Saturday the pedestrians in Church-street, one of the chief thoroughfares of Liver pool, were greatly startled by a terrific crash caused by the falling on to the pavement of one of the gigantic plate-glaso windows of Compton House. The -Window was blown out of its frame by a sudden gust of wind, which blew with almost hurricane force from the S.W. during the day. Fortunately no one was injured, though the street was crowded at the time, and the window was broken into a thousand fragments. SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION IN LIVERPOOL. - Mr. Bernhard Samuelson, M.P., attended a private conference on this subject at the Free" Public Library and Museum, Liverpool, on Saturday ; Mr. Piston in the chair. The question of the desirableness of increasing the facilities for scientific education in large towns was freely discussed, and it was generally admitted that, so far as the high schools of Liverpool were concerned, scientific education would receive much more favour if the same university rcwards attended its cultivation as were now obtainable b• pursuing classical and mathematical studies. THE HEAD MASTER OF ETON COLLEGE.—The Rev. James John Hornby, M.A., the new head master of Eton College, is the youngest son of the late Admiral Sir Phipps Hornby, G-.C.8., of Little-green, near Peters field, by Maria Sophia, eldest sister of General Sir John Bur goyne. He was born on the I.Bth December, 1826. His father's sister was the wife of the late Earl of Derby, so that he is first cousin to the Premier. His eldest sister is the wife of Sir William Denison, Governor of Madras. When at Eton the Rev. J. J. Hornby was a pupil of Dr. Goodfol the present Provost. He was celebrated in the school for his love of athletic sports, and with Mr. Chitty, his close companion, carried everything before him. Since then Mr. Hornby has been one of the leading aquatics at Oxford University. He is highly distinguished for his classical attainments. FATAL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION NEAR NEW CASTLE.—About one o'clock on Saturday afternoon an explosion of gunpowder took place at the village of Scots wood, about three miles to the west of Newcastle-upon- Tyne, which resulted in the death of two men and the serious injury of several others. Mr. Minto, the landlord of the Sportsmen's Arms, Scotswcod, had announced that a sparrow-shooting handicap would come off at his house that afternoon, and that announcement had attracted a large number of persons, many of whom sat in the kitchen of the inn. Owing to the heavy rain which had fallen during the morning, the gunpowder of several of the men was wet, and, with the view of making it fit for use, they put the powder, to the weight of about 31b. into the oven. Whilst the servant girl was in the act of stirring the fire the gunpowder exploded with terrific force, blow ing down the oven and fireplace, and damaging the kitchen' and inn generally. A man named Scott, a pitman, was killed on the spot. Another man named Smith, belonging to Wylan, was so severely injured that he died soon after the explosion. Many other men were seriously injured; among them was a man, named Louis Proudlock, living at the Old Engine, Scotswood, who is not expected to live. Strange to say, the servant girl was scarcely injured at all. REMARKABLE BETTING TRANSACTION. —For seve ral days there has been some gossip in Preston with regard to a most extraordinary bargain or wager as to the pur chase of a horse. It appears that two young Preston gentlemen, of good position and ample fortune, but given lately to considerable speculation, began one day to discuss sporting matters ; they commented upon the merits of noted racers and their progeny, and at last the celebrated animal Stockwell, his various achievements, and those of his colts and fillies, became the subject of conversation. By-and-by one of the gentlemen stated that he would give £20,000 for Stockwell if his friend could obtain possession of him within a certain time, but that if he failed to do so he must forfeit £3,000. The challenge wa,:, accepted, and the gentleman who had the task of obtaining possession of Stockwell before him at once communi cated with a local owner of racehorses. Nego'Liations were commenced for the purchase of Stockwell, and it' even tually became the property of the Preston gentleman for £lo,ooo—not too large an amount, many disciples of the turf would say, seeing that the earnings of Stockwell as a stud horse have for many years, it is said, been £7,000 or £B,OOO per annum. When this bargain was completed, the gentleman who had offered the £20,000 began to alter his mind, and solicitors were called in to arrange matters for him. A considerable sum was offered in the shape of !!,1444_04 )49117;! il/14 wv witlentaziti it h 4.4 we ll accepted, tin MLITT HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 19.

Burns and Oates. This charming little volume possesses an immense attraction. It is the first collection that has ever been made—and it is the completest possible of its kind—the very first gathering together of the hitherto scattered poems of one of the most illustri ous intellects of modern times, of one of the most vigorous writers, of one of the most original and logical thinkers of our generation. The author of " Callista," of " Loss and Gain," of " Tract Ninety," of the Apologia Pro Vita Sua—here ap pears before us as the suave and gentle lyrist, as the contributors of versicles to Albums, as a sage who disdains not here and there to prattle to little children. The last effusion in the volume is, in some respects, the most important as a literary production. And it is the one last penned by Dr. Newman—a weird, haunting cele bration of death, under the name of " Gerontius.' Already published separately, it was noticed by us, in The Sun, at the time of its first appearance a few mouths ago. It is by no means the favourite poem with us in the volume. But, for all that, it is very remarkable. The earlier portions of the little book now under notice are of extraordinary interest— showing, as they do, in a bewitching manner, the drift and tendency of their great writer's predilec tions, together with and the rise of his nobler and more prayerful aspirations. Dr. Newman's " Verses" will take their place side by side with Father Faber's " Hymns," and with his old friend Keble's " Chris tian Year." In their fervour, in their unction, in the chiming music of their rhythm and their rhyme, they are worthy of that honourable associa tion—they are not unworthy even of the heart and brain, the soul and conscience, of the illustrious author of the Apologia. Extracts from English Literature. By John Rolfe. Chapman and Hall. Any advantage secured to the reading public by this collection we can hardly recognize. The book, to ourselves, at least, is simply tantalizing. It is an accumulation, for the most part, of the merest shattered fragments. A gathering together, in a manner, of the chips and splinters of preeious stones—broken bits of ruby, and emerald, and amethyst, and turquoise —here a morsel of malachite, here of amber, here of jet or of rock crystal. Seldom or ever a gem of purest ray serene" complete in itself—never one in its own appropriate and familiar setting. Portions of perfect works of art they are, mostly—and portions too, that have been torn away with a pitiless hand to be here jumbled together with broken edges and distorted outlines—each a mere brick or worse than that, the merest brickbat, from the house of the Skolastikos of Hierocles. Had it been less, that is a mere simple index or handbook—or had it been more, a genuine collection of something better than fragments, the work, instead of tantalizing us, as we have said, would have been treasured up on our bookshelves. 2he " Charles Dickens" Edition. Chapman and Hall. Already this compactest, cheapest, and, as it promises to be, most popular edition of the works of Mr. Dickens has numbered up a good many volumes—the two latest of which we have already noticed, as we had pre viously noticed their several predecessors. Those two latest being, by the way, two of the very best stories in the whole series, to wit " Nicholas Nickleby" and " David Copperficld." Here, in a thinner volume, we have, by an admirably op portune arrangement in the order of publication, the re-issue, just at Christmas time, of the five Christmas stories, beginning with the immor tal " Carol," and so on—through the " Chimes," and the " Cricket on the Hearth," to the " Battle of Life" and the " Haunted Man." Except in their separate form—that is in the original five-shilling editions—they have never appeared to greater advantage. Dana's Seaman's Manual. New Edition. Moxon and Co. This is just one of those noble national nautical books, which are, as one may say, marked with the broad arrow. They have the timbre of official recogni tion. Dana's "Seaman's Manual" weput side by side —as it deserves —with Charles Dibdin's " Songs" and with William Falconer's "Shipwreck." Although it is simply a sort of dictionary or book of reference, it is at the same time an integral portion of maritime literature, a classic and an authority. A more bandy or more beautiful edition of it has never been issued than the one here submitted to our consideration. Mr. CHARLES KEAN.—The Scotsman, an Edin burgh journal, contains the following All our readers interested in dramatic matters will grieve to learn that Mr. Kean's illness—now, in its more acute form, of many months' duration—has reached a stage at which no hopo of recovery can bo entertained. For some days Mr. Kean has been in a state of extreme prostration, from which there is scarcely any expectation of his being able to rally." THE NEW MEAT MARKET AT SMITIIFIELD.—On Saturday the last iron girder of the extensive works at the now Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market, which will, moreover, form the roof of the goods stations of the Me" tropolitan, Great Northern, and Midland Railway Com panies in the substructure, was placed in its position, and when the remaining portion of the brick arched work is finished —which it is expected will be the case in a for days—the entire site will be handed over to the contrac tors of the corporation market works, who are proceeding with their contract very rapidly. The new Midland line, from the junction at King's-cross to Moorgate, underneath the market-place, will be opened also, it is reported, within the course of the present month. _ THE WRECK OF THE FAERIE QUEEN.—The decision of the court of inquiry was given by Mr. Rafties on Saturday at the Liverpool court. He said :—" In this case the court feels bound to pronounce the master in de fault. The loss of the ship may be ascribed to the saran causes which have led to so many wrecks of vessels out ward bound from this port on the coast of Ireland. Th e master stood in towards the land for seven hours, and took no cast of the lead. Had he time so an hour before the ship struck—a precaution which the question of the mate might well have suggested to him—he would have been warned of approaching danger, and a careful reference to the chart would have confirmed him in this conclusion Under these circumstances the judgment of the court is that the certificate of Mr. Joseph Pearson be and hereby i 5 suspended for twelve calendar mouths from this date, January 18, 1868." THE HEALTII OF ENGLISH WORKIIEN—The British Medical Journal says that our English workmen wear out too soon and die too early. It has commenced & series of reports on the Preventible Diseases of the Indus trial Classes, based on inquiries directed more especially to those trades in which the diseases of the workman can 10 traced directly to his work—diseases which can be Pre vented altogether in some instances, and considerably diminished in their force and frequency in others. 13°- deavours will also be made to trace the injuries to health arising from general causes to which some classes of work men aro subjected during work hours.
