DOMESTIC SEWING MACHINES ARE MANUFACTURED SPBCIALLY FOR FAMILY USE, Or Tuesday some workmen in the employ of the London and • South-Western Railway Company at Twickenham station on proceeding to their work over Chase-bridge, near Kneller Hall, saw something float ing on the water, which appeared to be like part of a woman's dress. They went to the bank of the river and found the body of a well dressed woman face downwards, and on pulling her out of the river found she had a little boy, also well dressed, clasped to her bosom quite dead. The woman appeared about 30, and the little boy about three years of age. A gold watch and guard, gold earrings and finger rings were found on the woman's body. The bodies were removed to the viHage awaiting an inquest. /7. ? .-..., . -7 :tirmiii...4. ) Wil 1 , ____ ,A., _ __--- They hem, braid, bind, and quilt ; are very light to use, steady by their weight, and are as near as possible NOISELESS.

NOW READY, CHARLES KENT'S POEMS. THE FIRST COLLECTIVE EDITION. Handsomely bound in cloth, bevelled boards, Crown Octavo, price Seven Shillings and Sixpence • "As a poet their author must live. He has the sweetness of Wordsworth, the vigour of Southey, and the elegant versatility of Coleridge. it is, however, as a poet of the affections that Mr. Kent chiefly excels. The longer and more ambitious poems exhibit extraordinary genius."—The New Monthly Magazine. " As many of these compositions are already old acquaintances, we need only glance at the picturesque and appreciative de lineations of poets in their haunts, called 'Dreamland ;' at the rich and finished transcript from nature, entitled Fructidor at the chivalrous tone of the writer's mind and its sympathy with modern ideas, as evidenced in such poems as Lamartine in February ; at his simple and genuine pathos, of which ' Amelia' is a type . ; and at his sympathy with the animated Oeasures of rural life, in evidence - of which we may cite `The Morris Dancers.' • Aletheia ' is the longest, and, On the whole, the noblest poem in the collection. It will be recurred to not only for its beauty of description, but for its pure and elevated philosophy. The reader will note not only the atmosphere in which the chief figure moves, but also the full and appropriate details which enrich the picture. The high and varied Merits of the book ought to insure its popularity."—Athenreum. "Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of `The Sun,' ranks very high as a poet."—Publishers' Circular. "The versatility of style, and the fresh and vigorous writing in these poems, lend a charm which we seldom find in the poetry of the day."—Examiner. " Poems marked by grace, feeling, and strong love of nature, and a cultivated and genial spirit."—Daily News. " The poems which appear for the first time in this volume are not unworthy of the author's earlier productions."—Daily Telegraph. " Mr. Kent may not aspire to be classed among the Di! Majores ' of the poetic court, but assuredly he will take a very respectable position among the lesser divinities."—Standard. "There 'is much that is very beautiful in the poems before us—a collection of the thoughts, the emotions, the feelings of a whole lifetime."—Tablet. The "Rock " expreases its " cordial adi iration for the genius and the taste of Mr. Rent as a poet of ve considerable powers and culture," adding, " The real vigour of Mr. Kent's poetical spirit manifests itself chiefly in dealing with the feelings. Ile is equally at home in pathos and in terror, and in strains that go right to the heart and stir the emotions to the lowest depths." " Mr. Charles Kent has long been known to wield a facile pen in writing poems of the class just indicated, and it is but fair to add that he takes high rank among the minor poets."—Echo. The "Westminster Review." while regretting it " cannot join in the chorus of praise, nor share in the enthusiasm which has been raised over Mr. Kent's poems," adds that it " cannot, how ever, part with the book without expressing a word of praise for its generous tone and sympathies." - - - "He is a true poet, and his works will live."—News of the World. "We have the pleasant task of welcoming, as a real addition to the ranks of our true poets, Mr. Kent. lie is something more than a mere versifier ; he is a real poet, and has proved it. `Milton at Cripplegate '—an exquisite picture of the blind old poet discoursing sweet sounds upon the organ in solitary but resigned sadness—is a poem that ought to live. Such of our readers as care for the roll of Milton's own blank verse, for thoroughly poetic fancies, for delicate imagery, and fora high and pure tone of moral feeling, we must leave to ponder over this short poem for themselves."—London Figaro. " That very graceful poem which appeared in the Times' as a welcome to Longfellow, and which, from the initials, was attributed to the author of llypatia, was written by Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of The Sun,' and was worthy of a priest of Phcebus Apollo."—Funch. " We find in the volume a luxuriant imagery, the fruit of a life-long study of nature. As for flowers I—Mr. Kent is as well up in them as Shakspere himself. Lastly, it recommends itself to us by its historical sympathies and views, and by the charm ing pictures of domestic life, with its affections and blessings, which it frequently affords us." —The Month. " When the goddess Flora appoints a poet laureate, it will certainly be Mr. Charles Kent. His poems absolutely glow with flowers in as vivid and delicate word-painting as ever depicted them. A poem of great stateliness and imaginative beauty, in which Mr. Kent vividly groups the more striking and poetical creations of Mythology, shows how their lustre, feebly illumin ing the light of the world, wanes before the radiant approach of the Spirit of Truth, Aletheia.' "—The Illustrated Review. ' CHARLTON TOOKER, 21, Northumberland-street, Strand. WAYS AND MEANS. A Story of Life's Strug gles. By Mrs. C. L.

The Admiralty yacht Enchantress, with the First Lord on board, arrived at Madeira on the 11th inst. Mr. Childers was carried on shore fit a hammock. The Enchantress reached Madeira in four and a half days.— The completion and departure of the Sultan, 12, iron armour-plated broadside ship, from Chatham Dockyard, liberated many hundreds of workmen who had been em ployed for months upon the ship, while lying in the stream, in completing the upper deck battery and the interior of the vessel, and these men have now been placed on other ships which are approaching completion at Chatham—the Glatton, 2, iron turret ship ; the Wood lark;'l, wooden gun-vessel; and the iron gunboats Snake and Scourge—all of which are now making rapid progress, and will soon be ready to be floated out or launched. The Woodlark will be almost ready for service on leaving the slip, except her masts and rigging, for all her machinery is on board. The Rupert, ironclad ram, is also being built at Chatham; a small vessel, the Kestrel, is ordered to be built ; and probably an armourclad ship of the Sultan class will shortly be commenced. The Challem - rer, unarmoured screw corvette, 18 guns, 1,426 tons, 400-horse power, Captain Howley Lambert, C. 8., arrived at Spithead about noon on Monday from the coast of Australia, where Captain Lambert has been flying a Commodore's pennant of the second class. Upon entering the roadstead she saluted the flag of Admiral Sir James Hope, G.C.8., the Port Admiral and Naval Com mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, the compliment being re turned from the guns of the Admiral's flagship in Ports mouth harbour, the Duke of Wellington. The Challen ger's orders were transmitted to her by signal from the flagship, and she left Spithead again under steam for Sheerness, where she will be dismantled and paid out of commission. The Challenger was commissioned in April, 1866, but Captain Lambert's appointment to her as Second Class Commodore bears date May 28, 1867. The Earl of Abergavenny and Mr. Philip Rose, of the firm of Baxter, Rose, and Norton, have withdrawn from the Junior Carlton Club, in consequence of the treat ment to which Mr. Richardson-Gardiner has been sub jected by the committee. THE DIVISION ON THE TESTS BILL.—The majority of 182 against Mr. Fawcett's amendment comprised about 70 Liberals, including the Prime- Minister, the Marquis of Hartington, Mr. Forster, Mr. Bruce, and the other members of the Ministry who voted, and also Liberals whose religious opinions greatly differ, such as Sir Roundell Palmer, Mr. Samuel Morley, Sir T. Bailey, and many Irish Catholic members.• The majority also included Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Mr. W. H. Smith, and Mr. B. Hope. The minority of 160 who supported Mr. Fawcett's amendment was composed of 159 Liberals and a solitary Conservative —Mr. 0. Wethered. Amongst the Liberals were Mr: E. Miall, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Jacob Bright, and Mr. T. Hughes. Mr. Lowe did not vote. IMPORTANT FAILURE IN THE IRON TRADE.—A. meeting of the creditors of Samuel Hingley, trading as Samuel Hingley and Co., of Corbyn's Hall Ironworks, has been called. The liabilities are estimated as amount ing to nearly £30,000, and in consequence of the large sum expended on the works the liquidation is expected to be very unfavourable. Mr. Samuel Hingley, some four years ago, resigned his position in the firm of N. Hingley and Sons, and took upon lease the ironworks of Corbyn's Hall from Mr. William Mathews, for the manufacture of sheets and plates. A considerable outlay was ,made in renovations and the purchase of machinery, and large liabilities in consequence created. The indebtedness is principally divided between creditors in the trade and builders and engineers for work done. Messrs. N. Hingley and Sons and Messrs. Hingleys and Smith have issued a circular, stating that Mr. Samuel Hingley has no connection with their firm.—Birmingham Gazette. A PLurfAusT.—At the West Riding Court, at Bradford, the other day, a man of 56 years, named Robert Dalby, a schoolmaster, lately residing at Cleckheaton, and possessed of freehold property in that locality, was charged with having, while his l aw f u l wife, Mary Copley, was alive, unlawfully intermarried with three other women—viz., Ann Roberts, Margaret Scholes, and M ar y Mortimer. Two months ago the prisoner was com mitted by the magistrates for a violent assault upon Mary 'Ann Mortimer, his last un l aw f ul wife, and on -his return from prison he was apprehended for the offence of intermarrying with these several women. The prisoner had married no fewer 'than six times. One of the wives married was dead, and the " whereabouts " of one could not be found. His lawful wife now living was Mary Ccpley. She was married to the prisoner at the parish church, Calverley, near Leads, in the year 1845. The marriage was proved by documentary evidence, and also by witnesses who were present. The marriages of the other three women were proved by dlcumentary evidence and also by the wome n th emselves: The prisoner was married to Ann Roberts, a t th e H oly Trinity Churc h, Hulm e, Man chester, in Ap r il , 1859 ; to Margaret Scholes the parishto church, R oc hd a l e, on the 11th of March , 1865 ;and Mary Ann Mortimer, at the parish church, Birstal, near Leeds,. in August, 1870. He lived with his lawful wife and also with some of these women and for several years, and had child ren by them. When apprehended charged with the offence the prisoner stated that "there was only one honourable marriage in the lot," and that was " in the case of the woman from Wales"—Ann Roberts —althou h this was not true, and he subsequently stated, stated, with extraordinary nary coolness, that "he had been for years seekirg an honourable woman to settle down with." Mrs. Scholes fainted when in the witness-box, and had to be removed for some time. The prisoner was com mitted for trial at the assizes, the bench refusing to accept SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT. About four o'clock on Monday morning a serious acci dent occurred on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin colnshire Railway. It appears that on the night goods train from Retford to Manchester arriving at Dunford Bridge the engine was detached to take up three or four waggons. It is said that the guard, whose name is I\l'Hughes, of Manchester, put Ms brake on. As soon as he had got into the siding he saw the waggons which we had left on the down line moving towarde Penistone. Most of them were loaded to a considerable height, and the strong wind which prevailed having great power over them, they soon acquired a rapid speed. The guard ran after them, and " spragged " a wheel of one of the waggons, but he could not stop the train. The gradient is about lin 150. The guard rode on until he was knocked off the waggons at or near Penistone—five miles from Dunford. He was severely shaken. The man on duty at Dunford, seeing what had occurred, telegraphed to Penistone, andthe engine was transferred to the up line and it started after the runaway waggons. The message was received at Penistone by Edward Sims, who at once set open the points so as to turn the approaching waggons into the warehouse sidings. The waggons and the pur suing engine arrived about the same time at Penistone, and the former came into collision with three laden trucks and a composite carriage which stood in the sidings. The three trucks, loaded with coal, grain, and lime, were driven into the Penistone and Huddersfield turnpike road, which for several hours was completely blocked. Fortunately the runaway waggons, on entering the siding, got off the rails, and their speed was reduced. Part of them, however, ran into a t.:oods warehouse, nearly half of which they demolished. Five or six of the wag gons were much broken. The damage is estimate I at from £7OO to £l,OOO. LAW AND POLICE. MRs. GODRICH AND HER FATHER'S WILL. —Mrs. Godrich, the petitioner in the case of Godrich v. Godrich and the respondent in the late case of Godrich v. God rich, Lara, Brient, Fader and Kelsey, is now contesting the validity of her father's will on the ground of the testator's insanity, and that undue influence wets used over him. She applied to Lord Penzance to appoint an administrator pendente lite. Mr. Middleton, for the other side, did not object so longas the admihistrator did not act without the order of the court. Lord Penzance asked what the estate consisted of. Mrs. Godrich gave the various items, which amounted to about £B,OOO, not in cluding- the furniture and plate. Lord Penzance said that an adminstrator must be settled on by the parties, and if they could not agree in the selection, the registrar would settle the matter for them. The administrator would not act without orders from the court. Mrs. Godrich said that all she wanted was the administrator to get the pro perty in his hands. A PRINCE'S WILL.—In the Probate Court, a question arose affecting the administration under the will of his Serene Highness Alfonso D'Avalor, Prince of Pescara. The Italian Court had directed the propetty of the de ceased Prince in this country to be collected. He pos sessed £50,000 invested with the Messrs. Rothschild in Russian bonds. An application was made to Lord Penzance to make a grant to three Italian solicitors, limited to this amount, and he did so. The bonds were at the present time worth more than the £50,000, an,l it was now asked that the learned judge would certify that sufficient- security had been given to cover this extra amount. Lord Penzance said that as security to the extent of £lOO,OOO had been given, and as the Inland Revenue rules required that additional security should be given, the Registrar of the court would be directed to state that such had bin done. MURDER AND SUICIDE IN LINCOLN SHIRE. A shocking tragedy has taken place near Grimsby, in Lincolnshire. On Saturday a brickmaker named Christo pher Leedham and his family were at dinner at Stalling borough, four miles from Grimsby. Mrs. Leedham, noticing that her stepson George, aged thirty six, looked unwell, asked him to have some rice pudding, saying it would do him good. He ate a little, and then jumped up, stabbed Mrs. Leedham in the throat with a knife, and then ran out of the house and threw himself into a pond in the brickyard. He was rescued by one of his brothers and a labourer named Jackson. Jackson held Leedham while the brother went for assistance ; but Leed ham struggled with Jackson and again threw himself into the pond, dragging the man with him. Jackson freed himself, and Leedham sank directly. Mrs. Leedham, after receiving the wound, ran out of the house, but had not gone far before she fell down and died immediately. Her stepson's body was not got out of the pond for fifteen or twenty minutes, and life was then extinct. At the inquest Mr. Leedham, sen., stated that his son had been wandering about in the fields for several days, and he (the father) had followed him. "Once (he said) my son was sitting by the side of a dyke, and said, What do you follow me about for ?' On Friday night he came down and made faces in the glass, and asked where Sally (his mother) was. In the morning I went to him in bed. He said he was poisoned—that we had poisoned him. A day or two before he appeared frightened that I should hurt him. He cried and sobbed out. I felt his pulse, which was going eight times as fast as it ought. He said, 'Oh ! father, I shall die broken-hearted.' I believe he thought of drowning himself two or three times. I think insanity is in the blood. His grandmother went off her mind, and had a strait-waistcoat, at Attie borough, Warwickshire." The jury found that George Leedham had committed the murder and suicide while in a fit of insanity. CAMBRIDGE UNIVE,:, TY.—The examination for the open Exhibitions at Trinity-hall will commence on Tuesday, March 28. Candidates, who must be under 20 'years of age, should send their names, together with testi monials of character, to the Rev. Henry Latham, Trinity hall, before the 21st of March. The Exhibitions are £BO, £7O, and £5O a year; they may be obtained by proficiency either in classics or mathematics. According to the report of Colonel Bruce, the chief constable of Lancashire, vagrancy has considerably decreased, and crime attributable to vagrants has sensibly diminished. Colonel Bruce expresses an opinion that the evil might be lessened if there was a full and uniform co operation in the different counties, in the several divisions of counties, and in the boroughs throughout the kingdom, for adopting some general system for the relief and tem porary employment of those who are vagrant by force of circumstances. WRECKS ON THE YORKSHIRE COAST.—A move ment is on foot to raise a general fund for the relief of the sufferers and survivors of the numerous wrecks—between 40 and 50—which occurred in Bridlington bay on Friday week. At Bridlington a committee has been already formed. It seems impossible to ascertain the names of all the ships which broke up on that fatal day. Twenty three dead bodies were buried at once. At Bridlington a resolution has been carried to reward the survivors who in timed Count Batthyany's lifeboat, and to relieve the widows and orphans of those who perished.. UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—The period of strict training will commence at Oxford on Ash Wednesday, in accordance with precedent, and the men will have about a month's practice before appearing on the London water. The race is considered almost certain to be rowed on the Ist of April (Saturday), when the tide will serve about 11 o'clock. The Cambridge crew rowed over the usual course on the Cam on Monday afternoon in the following order : —Kelly (Caius), 11st. 1 lb. ; Close, sen. (Ist T r i n it y ), li st. 101 b. ; Lomax (Ist Trinity) 12st. Tilb.; Sp encer (2 n d Trinity) 12st. 6ilb. ; Lowe (Christ's), 12st. 91b. ; Phelps (Sidney), llet. 121 b. ; Randolph (3rd Trinity), list. 131 b. ; Goldie (St. John's), 12st. 121 b. Gordon (Trinity), cox. The crew is improving, and now that Mr. Lowe has re covered from his indisposition it is hoped that changes will be less frequent. Mr. Ridley, of Jesus, an old University oar, is coaching the men. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., C II ECKNIA.T E. By J. SHERIDAN LE FANU, Author of "Uncle Silas," &c.
