The prayers and offerings of Churchmen are solicited in aid of an effort to supply the urgent spiritual wants of a newly popu lated district around the Victoria Docks. .... Within the last few yea rs the formation of a portion of these Docks and other causes have added a population of about 4,000 souls to the spintual charge of tke Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow. A new town has been commenced on a low and marshy tract of ground ad joining the river Thames, totally undrained, and intersected by stagnant ditches. In a few more years itis probable that this district will rival Poplar, Shadwell, Ratcliffe, or St. George's in the number and habits of its population. It is proposed at once to send clergymen to labour amongst these newly -congregated moves, and to increase their staff as dream. stances may render necessary. Another generation must not be left to repair the neglect of the present. The object of the appeal is not to apply a palliative of an all but hopeless evil, but to find the means of its prevention, to preach Christ's Gospel to every man, woman, and child i n the district, to endeavour to bring all within the fold of our National Church, to instruct them according to her formularies. and to preserve them in the communion of her faith and worship. Ragged schools have been tried elsewhere with success. Why not try Ragged Churches i n School-room ? We propose, therefore, in the first instance, to have SHORT SERVICES FROM THE PalyEa Boos in our Schools, adapted to the capacities of the untaught poor with lectures on popular subjects, musical and other entertainments. The Lord Bishop of London has given his cordial sanction to the work, and has undertaken, at the earnest solicitation of the promot ers of the mission, to select the clergy, when funds are provided. To aid us in our difficult task special donations are required for the necessary outlay for Missionary Stations, Schools, &c. ; and also regular subscribers, to enable us to support an adequate staff of teachers, clerical and lay. It is intended at en early date to submit the scheme to a general meeting. F u rther particulars will be given by the R ev. R. W. B.

DESTRIJOITVE FIRE IN STRABANE.—A. most destruc tive fire took place in the town of Strabane on Sunday morning. The extensive mills of Mr. David Smith were destroyed on Friday night with their ' contents, to the value of 20004 or 3,0001,, as the loss is variously estimated. THE APPREHENDED MuRBAIN.—The following extract of a letter, dated Konigsberg, April 2, will be read with interest at this time, as it establishes the value of pre cautionary measures. The writer of the letter also gives his opinion. There is much unnecessary alarm in Eng- land, but it does not appear there was less need of it in Prussia a year ago than exists now as regards England. He says—" The cattle disease in Russia has not shown itself to any extent on our side of the frontier, and only a few 'villages near Tauroggen and Georgenburg (close to the frontier) have suffered by it. With the exception of passengers nothing is allo . wed to pasa.the frontier into Prussia in the affected localities, and it is no doubt owing to these precautionary measures that we have escaped so far, and that, in fact, we have been entirely free from it during the winter."

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this c )entry. Its claims such pre-eminence are based upon its unri valled purity, and its closer assimilation than any other to the flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brandy made from wine In France, either in the present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures of their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his wine. consumed as such, than ho can realise by its being distilled into Brandy; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor tations is but the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distille from a particular French wine no longer exists', and is no longer worthily assignable t 3 it now that it is bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine for distillation into Brandy having failed, the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manu facture in which he needs the quarter of a century's experience which has been exercised upon that of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, to render his article respectably competitive, and he has not had it. 'Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad. It is to the interest of the public and the Messrs. Betts that these facts should be widely spread, for recent importations are of a quality so Inferior as to di• grace the name they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT. BRANDY, which is supplied by the trade, in capsuled bottles, to private famine , . in any quan tity, down to the single bottle. Excise regulations prevent its sale from the Distillery, 7, Smithfield-bars, St. John-street, in any less quantity than two gallons.

Th e sorter into whose hands it next passed opened it in the usual manner, emptied it on the sorting table, turned it inside out, and threw it on the floor. E(e then proceeded to examine the contents, which con sisted of letters, newspapers, and a spare bag. The latterhe also threwon the floor without examination. He then looked through the heap of letters for the parcel consisting of the money order remittance and registered letters (if any) wrapped up in the way-bill, but could find nothing of the sort. He gave information of the deficiency; %nil ascertained that the money order advice had come to hand. The bags having been removed in the meanwhile, he went to the bag-room and cautioned the men who were engaged in examining them that a way bill and remittance had been missing, and might be amongst the b a g s . Subsequently Haydon, the City detective officer, was instructed to inquire into the case, and he obtained information that the pri soner, whose duty it would have been to remove the bags to the bag-room, had passed t wo 51. no t es to tradesmen in the immediate neighbourhood of Albion-place, Walworth, where he resided. The notes proved to be two of those enclosed from Tewkesbury by Mr. Appleby. He immediately charged the prisoner with the robbery, which he did not attempt to deny. He said that the re maining notes, the cheque, receipt, money order, remittance, and way-bill would be found in a box in his own house. Hayden went to the house, found the box, which he opened with a key he had received 'from the prisoner, and there discovered the notes, &c. He was committed for trial. WORS HIP-STREET. —George belle, described as a gas fitter, was charged with stabbing his wife, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. A young woman named Sarah Crater said—l am sister to the complainant, who has led a very un happy l'fe since her marriage to the prisoner about fifteen months ago. On Sunday afternoon the prisoner, who is at present engaged as a theatrical performer, brought home the materials for a pair of stage trowsers, which he handed to his wife and de sired her to make t hem up immediately. My sista r de clined todo so, as she considered it improper to perform such work on a Sunday, when the prisoner became greatly excited, and pulling out a clasp knife, de clared that he would have her life unless she at once proceeded with it. She was then induced to commence the work, bat threw it down in a few minutes ; and on herrepeatmg the stme objections the prisoner deliberately opened his knife with which he made a violent thrust at her breast, but she suddenly stooped forward to avoid the blow, and received the point of the weapon in her left shoulder. The prisoner then hastily left the house, and I lost no time in procuring the attendance of a surgeon, under whose care my sister has since re mained in a very dangerous state. About three hours after the prisoner returned home, and ap proaching her bedside, inquired how. she felt ; to which she replied that he had dreadfully injured her, and that they had better never meet again ; but as he was about to leave the room she called him back, and furnished him with money to pro cure another lodging. Police-constable G 94 produced a certificate from Mr. C. Elwin, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, to the effect that the unfortunate woman was suffer ing from a severe wound, nearly an inch in depth, which had resulted in inflammation and fever of a dangerous character. Arr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner for a week. CLERKENWELL.—R. R. Tripp, a respectable looking man, 36, years of age, described in the po lice-sheet as having "no occupation," residing at No. 28, Giffard-street, Caledonian-road, Islington, was charged with feloniously cutting and wound. in?: James Scott,•with intent to murder him. E. Silence, a painter, occupying apartments in the same house, stated that the prisoner lodged i n the upper part of the house. At half-past 2 o'clock yesterday morning he was awoke out of his sleep by a noicle. He heard the prisoner and Mr. Scott having some words together. Witness asked if they required a light, and he took up a lighted candle. The prisoner then opened the door. He saw the prisoner with a sword, and he stabbed Mr. Scott in the side. A surge3n Etated that Mr. Scott was too ill to appear in court. The prisoner said that Mr. Scott came up to his room for rent at an unseasonable hour, and abused him, when he (prisoner) "pushed him out of the room with a sword." Remanded for a week. MARYLEBONE.—Henry J. Watts was charged with robbery, and with attempting to stab the persons who apprehended him. A nursemaid at No. 1, Queen's-road, Gloucester gate Regent's-park, while sh e was i n th e ki tc h en, heard a noise in the dining-room, where the break fast service was laid out. On going up she saw the prisoner jump out of the window and run away. She gave chase, crying out " Police." A man who was driving a van jumped down and joined in pur suit, and he and a tradesman, who had run out of his shop, came up with the prisoner in Park-street. The prisoner made a stab at each of them with a silver fork, but the prongs were too blunt to do harm. Other forks and some spoons were found on him. Remanded for a week. SOUTHWARK.--George Spencer, alias Stoner, a young man about 20 years of age; w as b roug ht before Mr. Combo, charged with stealing two watches, two chains, and a brooch, value 351., the property of Mr. Wm. Taverner, the landlorduf the Sun Tavern, Union-street, Southwark. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his employ as potman about a fortnight. On Sa turday morning tie quitted his bedroom about 8 o'clock, leaving his wife there. At that time the two watches„ chains, and brooch, were safe on the drawers. At 10 o'clock witness went upstairs to dreA himself, when he missed the property, which he valued at 351. While witness and his wife were downstairs, the prisoner cleaned his boots and took them upstairs, and being longer tha n usua l, h e sus pected him of robbing him, and having given in formation to the police, he gave the prisoner into custody. Witness had since understood that he obtained the situation under false pretences, and he had reason to believe that he had recently rob bad his barmaid. Mrs. Travener said that she left the property on the drawers shortly after eight o'clock, when she went down to the bar-parlour to breakfast. There was no other person in the house then but her,hus band, the barmaid, a servant, and herself, and the prisoner had no business at that time to go up go high as their bedroom. • Emma Hill, the barmaid, said she got up at half-past five and cleaned out the bar. While her master and mistress were in the bar parlour the prisoner went up stairs with a pair of boots he had cleaned. He should only have taken them to the first fl, or, but sbe distinctly heard him go up to the second floor, where her master's bedroom was. He was there a few moments, and when he came down he went out and remained away half an hour. Shortly after 10 o'clock the robbery was discover ed, and she told her master about the prisoner. In cross-examination by Mr. Solomon, witness said that two men came into the public-house and bad a pint of ale between 8 and 10,' and one went into the tap-room and lighted his pipe when they left. She was sure no one but the prisoner went up stairs. Mr. Combo remanded the prisoner until Mon day next,•ordering inquiries to be made about him in the meantime. LAMBETH. —Decimus Down, a beardless youth, the son of a gentleman holding a lucrative public appointment, appeared to answer to a sum mons taken out against him by Mr. Gustavus Thompson, the son of a medical gentleman, for as-. sault and battery.

Signed, at London, March 7, 1857.---[itatifications exchanged at London, March 25, 1857.] Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Majesty the Emperor of the French, being desirous to prevent all future cause of mis understanding with regard to the right of trading at and near Portendic, on the west coast of Africa, and at Al breda, in the River Gambia, asserted or assumed respec tively by the Governments or subjects of Great Britain and France, have resolved to conclude a Convention for that purpose, and have named as their respective Plenipoten tim ies ; that is to say : Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Honourable George William Frederick, Earl of Clarendon, Baron Hyde of linden, a Peer of the United Kingdom, a Member of her Britannic Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and the Right Honourable Henry Labouchere, a Member of her Britannic Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Coun cil, a Member of Parliament, her Britannic Majesty's Prin cipal Secretary of State for the Colonies; And his Majesty the Emperor of the French, the Sieur John Gilbert Victor Fialin Count of Persigny, Senator, Grand Cross of the Imperial Order of the Legion of Hon our, Grand Cordon of the Imperial Order of the Meijidie of Turkey, Grand Cross of the Order of St. Maurice and St. Lazarus of Sardinia, Grand Cross of the Order of Danebrog of Denmark, his Ambassador to Her Britannic Majesty ; Who, after having communicated to each other their re spective full powe l m, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles : ASSIZE INIELLIG.ENC.E. OXFORD OrRCIIIT.—GLOUCESTER, APRIL 7. (BeTore Mr. Justice Willes.) ELEr_ITION RIOT AT CIIELTENHANI. G. smith, R. Ellis, F. Buckland, T. Addis, A. Shirer, F. Williams, G. Oldship, J. Edmonds, F. Birch, G. .Mullis, T. Griffin, H. Clark, J. Pititin; J. S,tubloins, and G. Edwards, were indicted for a rie i t at Cheltenham on Dec. 4 last, and assaulting W, Boodle. The case occupied the Court half a day, and excited the utmost interest. One-half the town of Cheltenham, attended the court, which was crowded to suffocation. Ten counsel were en gaged, viz., Mr. Sergtiant Pigott, Mr. Powell, and Mr. Fuller for the prosecution;Mr. What eley, Q. C., Mr. Keating, Q.C. Mr. Skinner, M r . C oo k e , M r . Griffith, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. M‘Galm, for the de fendants. A number of the defendants were re spectable tradesmen of Cheltenham. It appeared that a local act having been obtained, for the town of Cheltenham, the inhabitants proceeded, under that act, to elect certain town commissioners, and the two political parties in the borough proposed opposite candidates, there being an angry contest for the party government of the town. In the con test for the north ward the opposing candidates were Messrs. Holies and Downing on the one side, ' and Mr. F. Marshall on the other. Mr. Boodle, who is a well known electioneering agent in Chel tenham, proceeded a few minutes before the close of the poll 'to record his vote at the hustings for Downing and Hollis. At ,this time a crowd sur roundedthe booth, and, as the prosecutor alleged, was determined to keep out all those who would not vote for Marshall. The defendants were among the crowdclosetothepollingbooth,and Mr. Boodle, in attempting to get up to the booth to vote, was jostled and several times struck, his hat knocked oil', and his coat torn up the back. A number of persons were called, amongst whom were Mr. Har ford, a magistrate, and two or three policemen, who, however, desCribed the conduct as peace able rather than disorderly. At the close of the pro secution ten of the, defendants were discharged by order of the Court; they not having been identified as taking an k.active part in the affair. Witnesses were called to prove the peaceable conduct of the crowd, and the case ended in a verdict of acquittal as to all the other defendants. ARTICLE I. Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland relinquishes the right hitherto en joyed, under Treaty, by the subjects of her Britannic Majesty, of trading from the mouth of the River St. John to the Bay and Fort of Portendic, inclusively. ARTICLE 11. His Majesty the Emperor of the French cedes to her Britannic Majesty the French factory or comptoir at Al brecla, on the north bank of the River Gambiar, on the western coast of Africa, together with all possessory or other rights whatever appertaining to the said factory. ARTICLE 111. Her Britannic Majesty consents that French subjects shall have free access to the River Gambia for the purposes of their commerce. They shall be allowed to reside at the town of Bathurst, and at such other trading station or stations as may hereafter be appointed by her Britannic Majesty iu Council, but not elsewhere; except so far as regards Albreda, where such French subjects as are now resident, and may wish to remain, are authorised so to do by Article IV. of the present Ccnvention : conforming themselves, however, to the laws and local regulations 'which are or may be in force in the British Settlements in the Gambia. _ _ French vessels in the River Gambia shall be subject to the same duties, tolls, and regulations, as British vessels ; and every article imported or exported in French vessels, shall pay the same duty as is or may be imposed upon the like article when imported or exported in British vessels. The French Government shall be allowed to maintain a Consular Agent at Bathurst; it being clearly understood that such Consular Agent must first be approved and ad mitted in the usual manner by the Government of her Britannic Majesty. ARTICLE N: French subjects already settled at Albreda, and who may wish to remain there after the cession to her Britannic Majesty of the French factory or 'comptoir, shall preserve their property, and the rights attached thereto, and shall be protected and treated in all respects in the same man ner as all other French subjects in the Possessions of her Britannic Majesty. ARTICLE V. The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifi cations shall be exchanged at London as soon as possible, within three weeks from the date of its signature. In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms. _ _ Done at London, the seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven.

THE SITE OF THE LATE FLEET PRISON.--This valu able site has been notified to be let on building leases, Mr. George Seamen. one of the members for Farringdon Ward Without, having, after much perseverance, suc ceeded in obtaining the consent of the City authorities for the appropriation of it to that purpose. This result will, of course, considerably increase the income of the corporation, and be the means of inducing great im provements in this long-neglected neighbourhood, by which the ratepayers of this already burdened locality will be materially assisted, and the interests of the oitizene at large proportionately promoted. THE QUEEN V. GABS, This was an indictment against Mr. G. S. Gabb, surgeon, of Newent, in this county, charging him with having fraudulently filled up soma voting papers at an election of guardians for th 3 Newent union, by which the election was unduly affected. Mr. Skinner and Mr. Cooke appeared for the Crown ; and Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Powe'l, for the defendant. ' This was another case arising out of a local elec tion, which had excited a good deal of party spirit. Two cases of illegal interference were alleged by the prosecution—one an alleged interference with the voting paper of a man named Hill, and another with that of a voter named Bodenham. With re spect to the first case, the learned judge stopped it, saying that it had already been tried before the magistrates, who had jurisdiction, and who had dismissed it. In the other case, the wife of Boden ham deposed that Mr. Gabb called at her house, and asked to be allowed to fill up her husband's voting paper. She replied that he might, provided the name of Mr. Matthews, one of the candidates, was inserted. Mr. Gabb, however, wrote in the names of four othercandidates, telling Mrs. Boden ham that her husband could fill in Mr. Matthews' name. He wrote in that name. The consequence of which was that as five candidates were voted for, the paper was invalid. Mrs. Bodenbam, however, admitted in cross-examination. that Mr. Gabb re peated to her the names of the candidates he had written initials against, on which Mr. Skinner with drew from the prosecution. His lordship assented, and said there could be no fraud, as Bodenham had been infotraedof the names which had been filled in. THE QUEEN V. GASH This was atiother indictment against the same person, in which the same counsel appeared. This was a more grave charge, one of perjury, againSt Mr. Gabb. The facts of the case were briefly these. In April last year a woman named, Eliza Taylor died a few days after her confinement. It was alleged that her death was caused by want of atten tion on the part of Mr. Gabb, who was assistant to the medical offieer ,of the union. A complaint was made, and Mr. Greaves, one of the poor-law inspectors, was sent down by the Poor-law Board to*take evidence on the case. At that inquiry Mr. Gabb produced his kook, in which was made an entry that be attended the deceased woman on Thursday, the 2d April. He also made an affi davit, stating that his visit was made between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning, when no person was in the home but a litvle girl; and Mr. Gabb's servant-lad made a statement that be had aeconi- panied his master. This statement was alleged by the prosedutor to be false, and the husband of the deceased woman and her daughter were called to prove that Mr. Gabb made no visit on the Thurs day. The husband of Mrs. Taylor deposed that be was at home during the whole of the Thursday with the exception of "about ten minutes," when he went to a shop in the place, and that he saw no thing of . Mr. Gabb. Mr. Gabb would have had to pass the shop to visit his house. At this point his lordship stopped the case, re marking that the evidence was very loose as to the time when Taylor actually was in the house, and was not inconsistent with Mr. Gabb's statement. All the children had not been called, so as to sho'w which was the one who was present when the al leged visit was made. Besides this; his lordship remarked, the errand•boy had corroborated his master, and if perjury had been committed he also was guilty. His lordship then directed the jury to return a verdict of Not Guilty. Verdict accordingly. These decisions lint at rest questions which have been for a long time in litigation at Newent. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-April 7. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) Emily Sarah Lewis, 21,, was indicted for stealing a yard of Persian silk, and other articles, the pro perty of James Dyce Nicol, her master. Mr. Orridge appeared for the prosecution ;. Mr. Ribton for the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner had been for some time lady's maid to the wife of the prosecutor, who lives at No. 5, Hyde-park-terrace, 'Bayswater, and the charge was that she had purloined some Honi ton-lace, a waistcoat piece, a yard of silk, and other articles, and secreted a portion of them in her box, and another portion in her wardrobe, preparatory to taking them away with her, she being about to leave her situation. After a long and searching cross-examination of Mrs. Nicol by the learned counsel for the prisoner, the jury intimated that they had agreed to acquit, and one of them said he hoped it would be under stood that the prisoner left the court without any imputation upon her character. William Ham, the younger, and Walter Walters, 20, were indicted for having stolen a quantity of cigars, value 4Z. and upwards, the property of Em manuel Jonas and others, their masters, and Wil liam Ham the elder, 39, a carver and gilder, was indicted for feloniously receiving part of such cigars, well knowing that they had been stolen. Mr. Campbell Sleigh and Mr. Lawrence were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton appeared for Ham the elder. Walters and the younger Ham pleaded guilty. Mr. Orridge appeared for Walters. The prosecutors were cigar manufacturers, carry ing on business at 77, High Holborn, and the two younger prisoners were apprentices to them. It appeared that they were detected in secreting cigars about their persons before leaving the pre mises, and the younger Ham told Mr. Newton, the prosecutor's manager, that if he went to his father's workshop, 3, Dean-street, Oxford•street, they would find cigars, which he had stolen, in a safe. A quantity of cigars were found there, and it was subsequently ascertained that the elder prisoner had been disposing of cigars, which were identified as the prosecutor's property, to a tobacconist in Rathbone-place. The younger Ham confessed the theft at once, but to exonerate his father said he had asked him to dispose of the cigars, and telling him that he had received them from a person in the trade. The jury, after hearing Mr. Ribton, retired, and after a short consultation found the prisoners guilty. The Assistant Judge sentenced Walters to six months' hard labour ; Ham the elder to 18 months ; and the younger to 12 months. Wm. Bellinger, 38, butler, and Matilda Bellin ger, his wife, were charged in four indictments with having obtained goods from tradesmen by false pretences. They pleaded guilty. The offence was committed by forged orders pur porting to have been sent by Mr. Soule, a Dissent ing minister. The Assistant Judge sentenced them each to 18 months' hard labour.

The said vessels can bring caigo for the ports of the River Plate and for others of the Confederation, without tho fact of their doing so, or of the discharge of the part des tined for them, involving the merchandise directed to the ports of the Confederation in the payment of differential duties. 5. Also merchandise coming from outside the capes which, having been directed to the posts of the River Plate, has been sent on, either all or in pert, to those of the Con federation without having been discharged or transhipped in the former ports, will be considered as coming under Article 2 of the Law. 6. As a general rule all merchandise introduced into the Confederation in vessels which have touched at inter mediate ports inside the capes shall be subject to the dif ferential duties, if the parties interested do not clearly prove that they are included in Articles 3,4, or 5 of the present decree.

On•comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13'3 per 11. ster ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is there fore nearly 7-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1081 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is nominally against England ; but, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way between the two countries. THE OLDEST MAN IN AMERIOA.—There is now living in Murray county, Georgia, on the waters of the Holly Creek, a Revolutionary veteran who has attained the age of 134. His name is John Hames. He is known throughout the region in which he lives by the appella tive, " Gran'sir Hames." Gran'air is contracted for Grandsire. A grandsire he truly is. As I was on my way to visit this relic of the expired eighteenth century, I inquired of an oldish gentleman of about 60 if he knew him. "Oh, yes, I know him," said he, "he is my grandfather I" John Hames was born in Mecklen burg county, Virginia, and was a lad 10 years old when Washington was in his cradle. He was 32 when Brad dock met his defeat in the Monongahela. He and several of his neighbours set forth to join the headstrong and ill-fated commander, but after several days' march were turned back by the news of his overthrow. He migrated to South Carolina nearly 100 years ago. He was in 13 considerable conflicts during the War of Inde pendence, and in skirmishes, rencounters with Indians, with Tories, and with the British times beyond memory. He was with Gates at Camden, with Morgan at the Cotypens, with Green at Hillsboro' and Eutaw, and with Marion in many a bold rush into a Tory camp or red coat quarters.—Cawige (Georgia) 'Standard. T i - - 4 fendant, aumitted t llii client we crass cult, but said the case wa3 ono whi been better settled by the friends than in a court of law. His youthf horn for :Coe last thres months raying t , a young lady at Brixton, and having 46,1 to, that the complainant, who wasa lawyer's clerk ank. a near relative of his own, had been sten to walk out with the young lady in question, he on the Ist instant went to ask him for some explanation •Jf his conduct. , At the ,interview his jealousy and temper exceeded his discretion, and he struck his rival, but suffered somewhat fdr his temerity, as he had been •immediately tackled by the complainant and his brother. The complainant did not 'deny the fact of fre quently walking out with the young lady, and said that even so late as the night before he had been in her company. Mr. Norton—You hear that Mr. Solomon. I suppose the young lady is entitled to a choice ? Mr. Solomon—Oh, certainly,' sir ; audit appears she is determined to have a " limb of the law." (Laughter.) My client must endeavour, however unpleasant it may be, to forget her ; and I hope your worship will agree with me in thinking that this case will be fully 'net by my client entering into his own recognisances to keep the peace to wards Mr. Thompson, his rival. Mr. Thompson—But I go in bodily fear of him. He has made use of threats of sending a bullet through my head. Mr. Solomon—Oh there is not the slightest fear of his attempting any such thing ; and, as for fear, you are much bigger than he is, and therefore I am astonished at your talking about fear. The father of the complainant complained of the threats made use of by the defendant, but the latter having. promised not to repeat them or molest Mr. Thompson or the family for the future, the summons was discharged on his entering into his own recognisances. „.-g-E---spAnii ,''., $.-'.ii - eni-6-1,.._ . ._,. s• . 11 • i , “ . „..I‘, b 'l A p ; • . . i "7--' z ' 7 I.t. i• • 14 . s HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (Prom, the Report of the Registrar-General. In the week that ended on Saturday the total number of deaths registered in London was 1,235, of which 620 were deaths of males, and 615 those of females. In the 10 years 1847-56 the average number of deaths was 1,192, but for comparison with the deaths of last week, which occurred in an increased population, the average must be raised proportionally to the increase, in which case it will become 1,311. The deaths now returned ars there fore less by 76 than would have occurred if the average rate of mortality had prevailed. The deaths from pulmonary diseases,, which in the two previous weeks were 292 and 278, were last week 264, the corrected average for the 10 weeks corresponding with last week being 273. Bronchitis, one of the diseases in this class, -was fatal in the last three weeks in 164, 160, and 130 cases, showing a decline with the higherand steadier temperature of last weak. Hooping-cough num bered 64 cases, which differs little from the num bers returned in many previous weeks. Smallpox, scarlatina, and diarrhoea exhibit a low mortality, the deaths from them being respectively 2, 12, and 7. Eight persons had attained the age of 90 years or upwards; they were all women except one ; the three oldest died at the age of 93 years. A young seaman died in the Dreadnought Hospital ship of " scorbutus, abscess, and tetanus ;" and a labourer, area 71 years, died at 30, Duke street, Old Artil lery Graund, of " neglect, filth, and imperfect nu trition." Last week the births Of 936 boys and 902 girls, in all 1,838 children, were registered in Loudon. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56 the average number was 1,555. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 334 in. The mean temperature was 47.8 deg., which is 41 deg. above the Lverage of the same week it 43 years. The mean temperature was above the average , en every day. The thermometer in the shade was 58.4 deg. on Friday, the highest point in the week ; the lowest temperature was 40'1 deg. on Wednesday. The mean dew-point temperature was 42/ deg., and the difference between this and the mean-air temperature was 5.1 deg. The general direction of the wind was S.E. There was more or less rain On every day ; and the whole amount in the week was 0 . 45 in. In the first quarter of the year—viz., the 13 weeks that ended March 28th, the deaths in Lon don were 16,093, which exceed the deaths of the same quarter in 1856, but are less than those of 1855. The increase on last year arises from pul monary diseases bronchitis, pneumonia, and phthisis ; for though the mean temperature was nearly 39 deg., which is about . ' the average of the winter quarter, and the mean weekly temperature was on nine weeks above the average, the fifth and sixth weeks were very cold, and on two days at that time the thermometer fell to 20 deg. But though there is an excess in last quarter as compared with the same quarter in 1856 in the total number of deaths there is a decrease in those arising from zy motic diseases; and it is remarkable that the deaths from this class of complaints (2,713) were less than in any of the four previous corresponding quarters of 1853-56, though the population has increased. The deaths from small-pox were 60, being little more than four in a week. There is a marked de crease also in typhus, which numbered 489, having in the same quarters in 1853-56 ranged from 572 to 719. Twelve persons, or nearly one in a week, died from want of the common necessaries of lice; 26 persons from intemperance ; and if to these be added 14 who died from delirium tremens, it will appgar that excess in intoxicating liquors was fatal to three persons weekly.

CENTRAL AMERICAN PRODUCE.--Th o steamer La Plata, which arrived at Southamptoti on the Ist instant, with the last West India mail, brought home, amongst other cargo, a large quantity of indigo from the west coast of Central America. The produce of that part of the world has hitherto been sent to England by way of Cape Horn ; but now, owing to the arrangements made by the Panama Railway Company, it is shipped on board of a coasting-steamer to Panama, sent by railway across to Colon, and there put on board the West India mail steamers for England —the result being that the produce is in England and sold in lees time than it used to take in reaching Cape Horn. These arrangements will prove of immense advantage to those interested in the speedy delivery of consignments from Central America, 43% 130 1 A 1304 52% 52% :It OZ.
