ANOTHER HOAX.—If people do not resort to the usual, suicidal means of cutting throats, hanging; or drowning theniselves in the foggy weather of dreary dark Novem ber, they must have some other Mart of recreative atntise , ment ; and although it May he eorisidbred a very inno cent thing to hoax A newspaper, we think the hoaxer would prove his wisdom more conclusively by garotting himself into eternity, than deceiving a public journal, and misleading the public. Ortb of our diurnal co temporaries has been made the victim of some scalpel knife or other, who ?elated in his pages a circum stantial account a an alleged terrible accident at Hengler's Circus, committed by that wonderful animal, "Ajax," the great performing elephant. There was an important point, however, forgotten—that the: account wanted one thin namely Truth We have it on the best authority that the story was a regular hoax. an q that the "frightful acc id en t," conslste'd ti having rubbed his trunk rA_ther against some one who annOy e d Min.

The project was, as our readers are doubtless aware, first • mooted in the great metropolis, and soon evoked the kind co-operation of many excellent clergyman and others interested in the dissemination of Moral add reli gious principles amongst this hitherto-despised class of the community. Centributions to a large amount were freely given, and the movement became so thoroughly organised, that midnight meetings, night after night w ere held, at which many estimable clergyinen (whose piety and well-known character were an indubitable cre dential for the purity of the motives that influenced them in engaging in this novel mis s i on ,) atten d e d and addressed large • audiences of " iinfortti nates" in words of fond and apostolic endearment, and pointed out to thud, in vivid and startling colours, the wickedness, sinfulness, and misery, both in a spiri tual and corporeal sense, they were subjecting them selves to, in leading so disreputable a life. Entreaty, eloquence, pursuasive, and soothing—words of comfort, of warning, and of gentle reproach ; kind inducements, and glowing pictures of the happy and holy joys they could partake of ow earth, and Df the angelip and unspeakable bliss that would form their portion in, the heavenly h ome , if t h e y t ur ned fromthe broad path th a t leads to de s t r U c ti on ; in line, everything that the bene ficent spirit of christian charity, whose love is measure less, could suggest, was done to convert our fallen and depraved sisters from vice and crime, and reinstate them in the ranks of. the virtuous and good. , • Divine aid was no less freely extended to the movement than the aid of man. Mortal efforts were seconded: by the blessings of the Holy Spirit. .which breathed into the wicked ones, and softened their callous hearts. A large number of them abandoned,their sinful ways and sought peace with God, refuge from a repeti tion of their crimes, in the homes, asylums, and peni tentiaries that the generosity of a charitable and muni ficent public had provided for them. This great move ment, which has been productive of so much good in London, has, we are happy to state, communicated its influence to Liverpool, which we are grieved to say is fearfully stained with thi s f ou l b lot on our mora l s tatus as a nation. It 'is th e intention ,of the committee appointed for the purpose to follow the same plan that was found to work so beneficially in London ; and accordingly a series of midnight meetings, similar to those that. have taken place in the city, will be held, to which these • unfortunate girls will be invited. Cards have been already issued to them ; and we are informed that the first meeting will take place on Monday or , Tuesday next. TI E IVEA'II-IER-THE FOG. Our readers are well...aware . what the state of the weather has been for the last few days—rain. rain s rain ; but yesterday morning, instead of having rain, as usual, we had "a fog"--and such "a fog" as has scarcely ever before been witnessed in the good old town in the- rse niory of its oldest inhabitant.: Daring the early part of the Morning Wish - leas was altlidst britifely suspended. These shops *hi& did Open' had to be lighted ifp with gas; but after that Was ddife there ivas aridthef great difficalty to efieminter ; Ho* could the customers find their way into the shops ? From the density of the atmosphere, it was all but impossible for persons to find their way to their places o f bu s i ness; muc h less id go shopping ; and in the printipal streets Oafs, hoitie+er cantiens; Were running into lorries, While gentle Men's carriages; With their being rather. more call:- tions, Were Eomiielled "to bide their time." dmiii hltses for a time Ceased to run "their usual roUtes. 4 , Whilst this was the state of affairs on the ",highWaya," the poor pedestrians were subjected to equal. annoyance (through no faUlt of th e local anthorities), for at each corner of a street there was one person jostling against his neighbour ; hats were knocked off, and , each party separated with "peg pardon; sir, it is Only the Mg," Wit 11nOWing exactly which. was in talk So the silene in the streets continued Until about eleven o'clock, when • , • .• ,• " the mist suddenly gave way, and Sol" put in an appearance, and the trade of the town assumed its usual activity; but this was of short duration, for soon after wards the Mist fell, and the streets were in almost total darkness, in which state they continued Until afternoon, 'hell the fog ga - 6 Wai. At the lariclifigstaie all was confusion and bustle ; the fog bells were ringing, and some boats ceased running. The Rock-ferry boat which should have conveyed the Majestic boys on board, after their night's leave of absence, did not ply, a result of which was, that more than a usual quantity of those "gents" were ashore yesterday. The Woodside boats ran, with one or two exceptions, at the usual time; and although the crowd of passengers was necessarily very great, owing to the influx from the other ferries, there were very few complaints: The fog was of the most dangerous kind; being of that White shifting kind so often fatal at sea. Happily; in the present instance ho serious results haVe followed. Early in the morning a man walked into the Coburg Dock ; he was , • .. me promptly rescued by the police ; aid ‘;' ,;uveyeri to residence, One of the iron guards which form 'the ea•-• facing of the' South Landing-stage was broken off by one of the ferry boats, and the iron bar supporting the guard was wrenched off. In Lime-street and other large thorotighfatea, the shanclries and light vehicles drove at a terrine pace ; during the height of the fogs When most caution .was fietessatt the dtiters seenied to glory in displaying their own skill in gding a-head. Vitra policeriieii Wefe Statii-ined Feineis:cit the streets,. fot. the, purpose of checking these, foolish dis plays; and their assistance Was very ~ Taltiable; as there Must otherwise have been many serious accidents. A very serious, accident occurred yesterday, during the fog,, on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, near this town. An old wonian named Dorothy Ocraff, 79 years of age, a native of Mee, Was steriiik ri boat on the canal near to *)otle, when another boat 'coming up caught the rudder, the tiller of Which struck the old woman on the breast, and knocked her overboard be tween the boats. She was immediately rescued ; bUt it was found that, froth being crushe,d bet Ween the tWo craft both het tliiglA had beeti broken. She iints coti- Veyed to the istorthern Hospital, where she now lies in an almost hopeless condition. DRINKING FOUNTAINS. TESTIMONIAL TO MR., C. P. MELLY, THEIR FOUNDER. Yesterday, a meeting► of influential local &denten was held in the MaYorig Paibitii, at bib 'tocfiri•hali, in order to promote a public testimonial to Mr. C. P. Melly, the benevolent originator of the public drinking fountains in this and other towns. S. R. Graves, Esq., the Mayor, presided ; and amongst those present were Mr. William Earl, Mr. 0. leangton, Mr. T: B. Job, MI. G. Holt, Mr. r. A, Clint, Mr. a. T. Stephens, Tiie MAYOR, on taking the chair, observed that the drinking fountain's which Mr. Melly had established had been one of the greatest possible boons to the poorer classes. They were now extending, he was happy to say, throughout the whole of the kingdom, and it was most appropriate that some public acknowledgment should be paid to Mr. Melly for his public-spirited conduct. Mr. joi3 Moved the first resoltitidni *hiCh Was td the eked, that it was desirable to testify the public appre ciation of the practical philanthropy of Mr. Charles P. Melly to the town awl the country at large, by his ori gination of public drinking fountains, and his erection of the same in the town of Liverpool at his own expense. Mr. Job explained that the real driginatcir of the idea of a testitilonial Was Mr. G. §tephens, who had com municated the project in a letter to the Liverpool Courier. Mr. Charles Langton seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. W. EARLE said that though he did not' think much of testimonials in . a general way, he thought if one Was required at ailj it Would be most appropriately rendered to Mr. C. 1 3 . Melly,. Who had not only originated public fountains, but play-grounds and seats fOr the accommodation of the public. Mr. Earle moved that a public Subscription be opened forthwith to realise the object. Mr.' George bolt seconded the motion, which was also unanimously adopted, On the motion of' lir. 'Clint, a committee was appointed, with the Mayor as president, and Mr. Job as treasurer, to carry out the undertaking. Mr. STEPHENS, before the general meeting closed, explained_ that the Objeot *ilia he bad more particularly in view was to originate a shilling testimonial, because by that method, he thought, the sympathy and support of all classes, particularly the humbler classes, might be secured. The general business over, the committee immediately met; and, after some discussion, it was resolved— " That, it being desirable that the movement shall be tome so general as t o e m b race a ll cl ass es, subscriptions of the smallest sums be invited, but that a limit of £1 be not exceeded."--The movement has our warmest wishes for itt success. . „ THE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST THE CASHIER OF - THE MAG NETIC.

Mr. Marshall appeared for the prose cution, and Mr. Cobb for the prisoner. Mr. Marshall said, in addition to the charge of £lO. gone into on th e ,f ormer do r, he would produce two othe4, and then aik fdi a COMMittal of the prisoner on the three charges. Mr. Cobb—Would you, sir (to Mr. Raffles), commit on that charge of the £lO ? Mr. Raffles--I will commit on that charge, certainly. Mr. Cobb—Then I will reserve my defence for another place. Mr. Marshall—Then, will you hear any other case Mr. Raffles—Yes; you had better go on with some dtl*rS. Mr. Cobb—Yes ;it is better to go on with any case you have, so that I may know the charges I have to answer. I will show in the proper place that there were very great irregularities going on. The following witnesses were then produced to sustain Co.,the case Mr. Deriipsterj casliio at Laiids; Pietchet and said- On thb 23rri June last pufeha s ed £ lO worth o stamps from the prisoner, and got his receipt for them. On the 31st July I paid him £l5 for stamps, and took his receipt. - On Saturday last I saw the prisoner in our office settling up accounts, and he asked me to purchase £5 worth of franks from him, and I did so. He said he was in a hurry. Mr. Walsh) Of the Telegraph-dace, said--4 gave out the stamps to the prisoner for Mr. Morris on the 15th of October, in an envelope, with a memorandum addressed to Mr. Morris. These (other stamps) were sold in September to Mr. Stewart. They were made up by me, and handed to the .prisoner, who was .to hand them to the cuAtOmers: , That *tit ah 4 TE4S tll6 iiiietiCe. The Witness produced several fortnightly accounts made to him r in order to show that the returns were falsified by the prisoner. Mr. Jackson, who has charge of the office at night, was examined to prove certain returns also made by the prisoner. ' Mr. Leland, the treasurer of the company, was ex amined, and also Mr. Butler, clerk to Mr. Stewart, to prove the charge. Some other witnegga *eie iiiOduced, . 4 And at the con elnsion of their eviaence the prisoner Was sent for trial. Mr: Cobb, in asking his worship to accept of bail for the prisoner, said he was certain a jury would not con vict him. He would show, in the proper plaee, the irregularity and mistakes in the office, and these should not be laid to the prisoner's charge. Mr. Raffles said—l think it is a case where I may take bail. Mr. t obb—Hd* nitieli *ill you say Mr. Raffles—l will consider that. Mr. Cobb—Will yon send the case to the assizes, as some nice points may arise for argument ? Mr. Raffles=—No ; I will send it to the sessions, as such points can be argued there as well and as ably as at the assizes. The prisoner was then fully committed. THE DEAF AND DUMB.—On the 14th instant, the interesting- ceremony of christening the infant daughter of deaf and dumb parent's took place at the Church of St. John the Baptist, Hoxton. The Rev. A. P. Kelly, the incumbent, read the service and baptised other infants, while the Rev. Samuel Smith, Chaplain of the Association in aid of the Deaf and Dumb, translated the service into the sign language for the benefit of the parents as well as of the deaf and dumb friends present, and baptised the infant in question, which is endued with all its faculties. The mother of the child is of Jewish extraction, but, being desirous of openly em bracing the Christian religion, was, after due instruct- tion, baptised by the Rev. S. Smith on the 21st instant, the finger and sign language being used. It will be remembered by many of our readers that Mr. Smith has recently been ordained by the Bishop of London for the special work of ministering among the deaf and dumb, and he is now collecting funds with which to build a ",place of worship " for this unfortunate class, as well as a "home for the Aged:, , ~‘ LIVERPOOL LICE - itT.-=THIJRVYAsit, (Before : R4.,I•FLEO - HO W TO GET Oiis'skssi6N OF A 1:t903!* An old woman named- Rattigaiif •lia l s•Cliarged by Margaret Keating, under the following circumstances The complainant had head bandaged up, and had a child some four or five years old with her,, antljlie. head of the little thing was also tied up, and both seemed to have suffered considerably.

The prosecutor missed 75., and at another time 55., out of the collections, but yet he did not wish to charge the prisoner until he had some strong proof ag a i ns t him. He found, however, that the prisoner had not only stolen the money, but that he had taken the medal and pledged it, that he stole the gun and pledged it, and that he tried to make a thief of the.yMing Oaldvrell's sons He (Mr. Ij.) would eall.Veitriesses to proVe, these facts, and *odd then ask his 'Worship to deed with the ease on its Merits. ,called the vrOsepdt f or„ il - ,i.oli , a,eiatnined; Mid stated that he .employed the piison6r week view of keeping him oft the , parish.

A nice looking female named Lucy Pollard summoned her husband, George Pollard, a master carpenter, living in Boundary-streets for having assaulted her. Mr. Cobb appeared for the complainant, dtid Mr., Bluck for thedefendant. It appeared that the parties de not live happily together, and that they had lived separate at several periods, and that at last a deed of separation was drawn up by Mr. Cobb, but in consequence of the defendant refusing to pay the legal expenses, the deed Was not executed, On the 6th of this month the com plainant stated that her husband assaulted her on his coming home drunk, as Was his usual custom, In reply to Mr. Bluck she adniitted that she Was riot hiirt.

Homer-street, summoned police officer Sowerby (507) for having assaulted him. Mr. B:uck opened the'case for the complainant, and said, on the night of 14th, about eleven o'clock, Mr. Moore was standing at his shop-door when he heard cries of "murder" coming from the direction or the Hay market; he .saw two women beating a third. He separated them, and edited for the police, when the defendant earlio and Mi. ckite told him that the two women ought to be taken into custody ; when the officer said, "What have you to do with it,'' and at the same time struck him a blow on the face and knocked him down in the channel. The complainant, and a Mr. Gibson, a carpenter, with Mr. Moore's servant girl, fully corroborated this staternent/ and,s7ore posi tively there was not the slightest provocation Orett to the officer for the assault.. The defendant said when he came up the complainant told him to take the women intd'euStody, but he said lie could not, as he did not see the assault, whereon the defendant said he was like all Other "bobbies;" who.did not know his duty, and then pulled off his coat, offering to fight him and as he was going to strike him (the officer) merely.pdstild hlin away, and as he was drunk he fell. He called ft person named Simpson whO bore . out this story. Mr. Black recalled the three first Witnesses; add they swore most positively that Mr. Moore Was tiiiite dad thdt he did not take off his coat at all. The officer said he could bring another policeman, who was at the opposite side of the street at the time, as a witness, and the further hearing of the case was adjourned to this day for that purpose. - YESTERDAY. fiitE tittrlnt.:4 John Caldwell is a young gentleffian *llB tteffra a model shirt collar, and in all probability he is himself a model young man.

The waiter bowed down to the floor, and commenced a murderous attack on the beautiful flavoured creatures,, and eAposed each to the admirin g g aze of Mr. Caldwell. 'laded neatly off a snow white dish, which was laid on a neatly mangled table cloth, Mr. Caldwell seated himself at the mahogany in a style that the most ancient epicure might envy. The waiter bowed again, and ventured to ask if the customer would please to have some nice bread and butter—the latter, no doubt, so me of Kelly' s best " Yell oh 1" The custom er smiled on the waiter, and con descended to order a plate of the aforesaid grub to accompany the oysters. This being supplied, the waiter in return, and as in duty bound, smiled on the customer, and in the blandest manner of all the blandest waiters, insinuated that the bitter beer was in the prinlest pos sible order. This was a piece of information that seemed most agreeable to the gastronomic organs of_ u Mr. Cald well, and he accordingly gave an order for a m mer of real re of oysters having gone the way of su's.

GEORGE I S-IN‘THELEAST.-=-E . gTRAOR BINARY VESTRY AlgfiTiNUt On Thursday evening a meeting of the vestry of St. George's was held in the board-room of the workhouse, for the purpose, amongst other business, of receiving a deethatlon appointed to wait upon the Bishop of London in reference to tfre ettlesiastii3al condition of the parish. Mr. Clarke presided. Mr. Howell, the vestry clerk, at the reqttest of the chairman, stated the result of an interview which certain members of the vestry had with the bishop on that day week. After some discussion Mr. Barrett said that he could not help thinking that tire bishop was acting courteously, but what he might be doing spiritnall7 was an entirely different thing. He tried to pleasb the D'eoptle, but so would a mountebank. (Oh, oh, and uproar.) The chdreli bad been established a great number of years in their parish, and all the parishioners required was that there should be a return to the purity of service which formerly prevailed there. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Littlejohn protested against the bishop being likened to a mountebank, and moved that the statement of Mr. Howell be entered upon the minutes of the vestry. The motion was agreed, to. The remaining business on the agenda paper having been dispatched, the vestry, and a large number of strangers who were anliously awaiting the bishop's decision, patiently sat eitrecting the return of the depu tation. At a few minutes past seven Mr. Churchwarden Thompson hurried in and took his seat beside the chair man. Not offering to make any remarks, it was inti-, mated to him that the vestry had been waiting for the arrival of the deputation. Mr. Churchwarden Thompson—l have no communi cation to make. Mr. Littlejohn said he had hoped the churchwarden would tell the vestry what he had been doing. He did net think it would be infra dig. if the churchwarden would tell the vestry whether he had seen the bishop, or whetter, like the rector, his lordship had gone to Bruges. Mr. Thompson-4 have seen the bishop, and he has not gone to Bruges. Mr. Littlejohn—Perhaps the churchwarden will have the condescension to inform us whether we are to have any alteration in the services next Sunday. Mr. Thompson—l cannot say. All I can state is, that I have seen the bishop this evening, and that I am quite satisfied with the interview. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") 1 have yet to learn that this vestry has any power to interrogate the churchwarden on this subject. Mr. Parfit—The vestry passed a resolution on the sub ject of the church services, and forwarded it to the bishop, - who, in consequence, requested that a deputation might wait upon him, As the matter originated with the vestry, I think the churchwarden ought to satisfy us as to the result of his interview, although, of course, we cannot compel him to do so., The Churchwarden persisting in silence, the vestry broke up in disorder, and the great pains which were taken to memorialise the bishop, to pass resolutions, and to form an unobjectionable vestry, have thus far ended It has been ascertained from another quarter, quite independent of the parish authorities, that Mr. King has courteously surrendered his peculiar views, and that henceforth there are not likely to be any more disscn dans in this unfortunate parish. THE BURIAL OF THE ENGLISH LEGIONARY. I was the first who saw him fall— We buried him just where we found him, Wrapped in his tattered crimson shirt, His suordbelt buckled still around him. " Vive Garibaldi," as he fell, He cried; and made a faint endeavour To' breathe, I thought, another name— /km/ then his lips were mute for ever. Poor Charley Gray I—the heavy tears Fell from my eyes - , I must acknowledge— We met at school in boyish years— And we were steady friends at college, We parted. When I found him here..

In addition to the sum of £2OO, before stated, Miss Burdett Coutts has advanced many hundreds, and Messrs. Overend and Gurney have done the same, and at their instance Miss Shedden has retired from the case, and left it in the hands of Mr. R. P. Collier and Mr. Couch. [The kindly feelings which have prompted the pecuniary assistance thus given to Miss Shedden, cannot :but be sympathised with; but it is only . fair towards the res pondents in the proceedings, .to put the public on its guard against coming to the conclusion that the case of the petitioner is well founded. _We have no doubt whatever that the contrary will turn out to be the fact.] MARRIAGES IN THE UNITED .

This consisted in cutting away the lar g e iron plates from the mail room, half an inch thick , and working through nine feet of sand. Heinke's diving apparatus was employed, as on the previous occasion, and £16,000 was thus got out in one day. The whole of the specie on board this vessel, upwards of £300,000, has now been saved. _ _ _ CURIOUS GEOLOGICAL FACT.—In a field, the property of Mr. Renton, situate a short distance from the point where the Leeds and Liverpool canal is crossed by the Midland Company's railway, at Idle, near Bradford, is a considerable hill, or piece of rising ground, which has been noticed to be gradually attaining greater elevation during a period extending over the last thirty years. There are even young men who remember the field being quite level, whereas now there is a high mound near the middle of it. The cause of this singular eleva tion has given rise to much speculation. Some persons suppose that it is owing to the upward pressure of water in the bowels of the earth. ANOTHER MILL BURNT 'DOWN AT ROCIIDALE.—On Thursday evening the cotton mill of Mr. Duncan, at Rochdale, was completely consumed by fire. The hands left at the usual time, and then everything appeared safe. Notwithstanding the presence of the engines, the flames appeared at one after another of the windows, till the whole of the interior became a mass of flame. Before half-past eight, roof and flooring had fallen, and the walls stood bare, with the exception of small particles of still adhering yet burning wood. The mill has been about twelve months in the possession of Mr. Duncan. In the basement storey he had placed twenty-one new carding engines, and in the rooms over were six pair of mules, some of which had only recently been fitted up. Mr. Duncan has added to his insurances from time to time, and the total in the Northern and Imperial Offices amount to between £B,OOO nad £9,000 ; the damage will probably reach have the latter amount. STORM AT SCARBOROUGH, AND Loss OF THREE LIVES. — On Wednesday afternoon the weather at Scar borough was exceedingly wet, and towards evening a strong wind arose, chiefly from the south-west, causing a heavy surf. Several vessels came into the harbour during the evening. Shortly after dusk a collision occurred between a vessel belonging to Mr. H. Wyrill, of Scar borough. and another seeking the shelter of the harbour. The shock was so violent as to cause Mr. Wyrill's ship to fill rapidly, and almost immediately after the hands were got out of her she sank ; but, driving up to the beach with the surf, she in a very short time parted, and became a complete wreck. All hands were saved. A boat containing three pilots put off to render assist ance to vessels seeking the harbour. The men, whose names were Barker, Trott, and Nightingale, were warned of the danger they incurred before setting out, but they heeded no remonstrances, and set aside their own know ledge of the danger, and the melancholy result was that before long they found return impracticable ; a huge bonfire having been made on the piers, to caution them not to make the attempt of returning to the harbour through the surf. In a very short time their frail boat after being frequently threatened, was engulphed in the: raging and boisterous sea that was running near the har bour mouth, and they all perished. One of them has eft. a widow and six children. THE•CASE Of J.W. Moony.—lt will be remembered that on two or three occasions we alluded to the case of the abovenamed young American, who is under sentence of penal servitude, on a charge of manslaughter, and the interest taken in his case by the merchants of Liverpool, who, through one of our representatives, presented a memorial to the Home .Secretary on his behalf. We now present an extract of a letter received from the friends of the unfortunate convict, who are influential citizens of Portland, Maine, and who took advantage of the Prince's visit to that city to present a petition in the young man's favour, praying for the Prince's interest to procure a mitigation of his sentence :—" The Prince of WaleS and hid suite arrived in our good city on Saturday last, and embarked for home after a short stay of two hours. He was well received here, not only by our own eitizens,,but by Crowds of people from all parts Of tho State. It was the largest assembly ever seen- in our state, and everything passed off well. We had a petition already prepared, and signed by the , municipal authorities of Portland, addressed to the prince, and briefly stating the case, and requesting him, on his return, to bring the matter to the notice of his royal mother, and request her to grant a . pardon. After this petition was, signed, I called upon the British consul, Captain Murray, who resides here, to consult with him about the presentation, &c. He expressed his willingness to forward the cause and wished me to give him a copy •of the petition, for the purpose of forwarding it to Lord Lyons, or the Duke of Newcastle, in Boston, in order that they might be advised of the matter before they arrived here. I did so, and he wrote to Lord Lyons, enclosing. a copy. The 'consul then went up to Boston, and had an inter view with them. The duke requested the consul to say to our mayor that he did not wish him to traerttthepstition, as they could not consistently be considered as an interference of one branch of the Go vernment with another, so the petition was not officially presented ; but, on the arrival of the party here, the case was brought directly to their notice by the Mayor, at just the right time and place. As the carriage containing the Prince, Duke of Newcastle, Lord Lyons, and the Mayor, was passion. Portland Observatory, which was finely decorated with flags, the Duke enquired of the Mayor what building it was. The Mayor informed him, and then told them it was where the young man was born in whose behalf the petition was to have been presented, and that his father was the proprietor. It seemed to strike them very forcibly, and made a decided impression. The duke again assured the mayor that it was from no disrespect to him or to the citizens of Portland that they declined receiving the petition. Although we felt some disappointment that it was not received, still we feel that oar great object has been accomplished by bringing the case to their personal notice, and also by their having a copy of the petition. We probably shall forward the document to the Home Secretary at London, but shall not decide until we hear from Lord Lyons. I have thus given you the whole details, presuming that you would feel interested in it. Cniain IN FRANCE.—It may be remembered that in the morning of the 18th of last month M. Rolland, a retired notary, and his wife, of Remilly, in the Moselle, were found murdered in their chamber, which had been entered from the garden, and that a sum of 200 f. was stolen. Suspicion pointed to a strange man about 40 years of age, who had been seen in the village on the morning of the crime, just before it had been com mitted, and who h a d afterwards been perceived leaving the place in great haste. This man was traced from village to village to Mailly, and there he disappeared. A description of his person was sent off in all direc tions, and, the police of Paris on receiving it came to the 'conclusion that the man must be a certain Didier, who had just been released from the gaol at Poissy, after undergoing five years' imprisonment for robbery, and who, being a German, had been ordered to leave „France. Their opinion was confirmed by the discovery that the same Didier and his wife had in 1852 been in the service of M. and Madame Roland, he as coachman, she as lady's maid. After many enquiries, the police ascertained where his wife was living in Paris ; and a circumstance was then brought to light which left no moral doubt that Didier was really the murderer ; in a field at some distance from the resi dence of M. 'and 'Madame Rolland were found a shirt and pocket-handkerchief stained. with blood, which had evidently been abandoned by the criminal; those %rticles were marked "S. V. " and it turned out that it was with those initials that the woman Didier had always marked 'her._ own and her husband's linen. The police;- however, having no direct charge 'to make against the woman, and having no clue what ever to the hu s b and, thought it best not to arrest her; but they placed her under constant surveillance. Three days hack she left, home early in the morning with a bundle,, and took it to ( the station of the Orleans Rail way. The bundle was , addressed to Pierre David, labourer, Mery_es_Bbis to be left at the station of La Chapelle d'Angillon dher, until called for. It was opened by t ( he order of the Prefect of Police, and was found to contain a letter, which, though bearing neither address nor fr ' si,,n ature was evidently intended for Didier. Some detectives were accordingly ordered to convey the bundle to its destination ; there it was claimed by a man, who turned out to be Didier. He had, it appeared, been some days in the name, got work. in a anufactoryplace and had, under an assumed in , Pierre David, who he together with one said m Ile w as, of course, arrested, ands his brother-in-law. brought wife vas also tak en into custody, ynn to a in larher lis. lodgingslis I were seized, among other things pockethandkerchiefs precisely resembling. th e one stained with blood which Was found in the fi e ld , and h ,eveiyaegdi tlnikemietizt,laiondintintiealles S.V." The couple were con the man, on being interrogated, confessed that he was the murderer. THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. The Empress, accompanied by the Countess de Monte bello, Madame de Sauley, and the Marquis de la Grange, left Donglasg i s Hotel in an open carriage, about eleven o'clock on Wedtiesdaf feterteon f and proceeded by the Bridges, Nieolsort-street, and so Dalkeith. A few minutes after tWelVe the coach arrived at the Duke's lodge bate on the Dalkeith-road, -*here the Marquis de la Grange alighted; walked tip to the lodge, and asked the keeper if it was a day when admittance was to be had to the groutds. The keeper replied that strangers were not admitted list Ma gate, but by the palace gat e i n D a lkeith, adding, from-having been previously' apprised, and from the appearance of the Marquis, the interrogation " Was it the Empress." To this the M arqu is replied "No." The gatekeeper was staggered: but as "No" was the answer, "No admittance" must be the rejoinder. The Marquis returned to the carriage, and the royal company drove on to Dalkeith, and through the principal street of that towrf, Without exciting the slightest attention, till they arrived at the principal entrance to the Duke of Buc oleuch's palade. There they announced themselves simply as strangers wishing to visit the place. The royal party being readily admitted, .proceeded along the avenue on foot. Their mantle of incognito could not now lie weirs, as recognition immediately took place at the palaee, mid Wag fellbWed liy a hearty welcome. The illustrious party *did deterred from inspecting the romantic grounds of the palace by the weather, which had now become quite boisterous, the u'ind fad ously howling among the trees, and scattering their sere leaves far and wide. Her Majesty therefore returned to the carriage, and left the palace at a quarter past one. _ The Lord Provost called at Douglas's Hotel on 'Wed nesday afternoon about five o'clock, when his lordship had the honour of being presented to the Empress, and met with it most cordial reception. The Lord Provost, believeive assured her Majesty that the corporation of the city, as well as the thole of Ms fellow citizens, Were highly pleased and delighted that Edinburgh bad • been selected its a place of temporary sojourn during her visit to Scotland. He added that her Majesty must have witnessed . the interest which wits felt and mani fested in herself personally; and he hoped that this had not inco'nven'ienced her Majesty, but would rather be regarded as hidiealing the gratification which was felt at the confidence manifested by the Emperor of the French in the good feeling of the people of this country. Permission was given to the Lord Probst to read the following address, which was drawn up by his lordship's cethinittee, in accordance with the resolution of the council at th-e-n , Wetting on Tuesday : " TO EUGENIE, EMPRESS OF IHF , FRENCH. • "May it please your Majesty,—We, the Lord Provost, magistrates, and council of the city of Edinburgh, beg leave, fop` ourselves and on behalf of our fellow-citizens, to convey to your Majesty our expression of unfeigned satisfaction at your arrival in this city, and our hope that your visit to Scotland may prove beneficial to your Majesty's health. "As the consort of the Emperor of France, and as connected with our own country by the ties of kindred, We humbly present our assurance of sincere and deep tespeet, and of Interest in your Majesty's welfare. Although your Majesty, in coming among us, is unattended by the state arid ceremonial of your high position, we are desirous to take this oecasion of ex pressing our belief that your present visit wit? tend to maintain and promote good will, and peace, and friendly intercourse between France and Great Britain. "We hope that your Majesty, on returning to the Emperor and to France, may carry with you the remem brance of a kind reception in a country for which we believe you have a special affection. " Signed in name and by appointment of the Lo rd Provost, magistrates, and council, and the seal Of the city affited hereto, at Edinburgh, the ti,lst dal' of November; 1860. "p. llitertrrt Pkintniks, Lord Provost." The Empress, in reply, was graeiorisly pleased to say that she felt very much gratified at receit'ing this Com munication, and regretted that her knowledge of the Ellf!lish language would not allow her to express herself so fluty at; Are soak' have wished. But she had a very kind and affectionate' feeling towards Scotland and its People, and she regretted that her visit was necessarily so short. She would look back with ninth satisfaction to be very ki n d f ee li ng manifested towards her hi Edin burgh, an d wou ld always feel great pleasure at the tbcollection of tier riait to WC city. Her Majesty audeu that ads she was visiting this country not in state, she could not receive any mere formal address (which might be ineorisiStent with her duty td the Queen of England), brit she *as fery glad to he assured of the feeling enter tained towards het by the citizens of Edinburgh, and Was very happy td reetive the address thus presented to her. Her Majesty assured the Lord Provost_ of the earnest desire on the part of the Piiiperer to maintain the alliance, and to cultivate a good feeling with the people of this country, and expressed a hope that the people of Great Britain would be fully persuaded of this. The Lord Provost having thanked the Empress for gracious Mariner In which the address had been received, then took leave. • SINGULNR ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident of a very unusual kind has to be recorded :—A .shoeing-smith named Mace, of the Place de l'Eglise , a t Montreuil, bought some dare back a quantity of old iron to work lilt into horse-shoes and other articles. A few days singe, sue sdectei from the heap the barrel of a musket, and put it ititd hig forge' to make it red hot in order to cut in into pieces. As he' was palling it from the fire, a loud explosion was heard ; and, at the same moment, he uttered a piercing cry and fell dead f The barrel had been left loaded, and the ball, striking him above the abdomen, passed through his lungs, came out.just below the shoulder, and lodged in a wall at some distance. AnonuMears' VISITATION FEES.—A case which has excited some iaterest in clerical circles has for some time been pending in the. Notwich Episcopal Consistorial Court: the plaintiff was the Yen. Archdeacon Bouverie, the defendant the Rev. W. L. Barnes; and the point ai icstie vlba whether archdeacons can claim visitation fees from a parish clergyman in any ye a r in which no actual visitation has liten made of his church. Tho fees claimed by the archdeacon teferred to the last four or five years, in some of which, Mr. Barnes contended that no personal visitation had taken place of his church (Knapton) on the part of the archdeacon. The sum is dispute was only Bs. and some odd pence, but the court held at least a dozen sittings In the matter, and in the arguments on both sides and the judgment of the Chancellor an amount of erudition' has peen displayed worthy, probably, of a better cause. The testilt of the long-protracted snit was a judg ment adVerse to Mt. Barnes, who then threatened an appeal to the Cotitt of Arches or the Court of Queen's Bench, but who seems to have thought twice before he did so, and eventually to have abandoned his design, his reason being' that, under arty circumstances, the decision as to costs would have been against him, as the archdeacOn did personally visit in one 'of the years for which payment was resisted, and that conse quently he would have been, mulcted in costs, even though the superior court decided in his favour on the merits of his objection—viz.,: that procurations are only payable ,on the day of an actual parochial visitation. The. matter then became narrowed to the question of the costs incurred in the litigation at Norwich—for anyhow a long bill of costs stared the determined but luckless Mr. Barnes in the face—and the rev. gentleman was served with a citation monishing him to appear "to see and hear further proceedin<rs in the said cause accord ing to the exigency of the law, and especially to show good and lawful cause (if any such he hath or knows), why the decree against him should not be demanded to execution and costs taxed, and further to do and receive as to law and justice shall belong, on pain of the law and contempt thereof." Tke bill of costs presented by the arch-deacon's proctor was £ 35 18 s. 9 d., but this was reduced on taxation to £ 2B Os. 9 d. ; and this amount—on an application being made for a peremptory monition to enforce payment within six days--,-M r . Barnes paid under protest. The rev. gentleman, who intends to publish a pamphlet on the subject, is still prepared, however, to resist payment of proeuratimis except on the occasion of actual visitation ; and from the resolute constancy which he has displayed in the =past we may probably hear more of him in the future:' THE PAPACY IN FRANCE. The SWele comments as follows on the pamphlet by M. Cayla, recommending the Emperor to become the Head of the Church : M. J. Al. Cayla has seen the excesses to which. oet- t tain heads of the clergy have abandoned theraselves• in recent times—the ingratitude they have displayed' to those even who alone have opposed a serious obstacle to the complete destruction of the Papal\ ! temporalities. These excesses and this ingratitude , are not new facts in our history ; they have occurred! every time that the interests of Rome have not been: those of France. Such being the case, M. J. M. CaTha thought of the great expedient of former times—that is,- of separation—not a schismatic separation like that of England, but of an amicable separation which would be a kind of federation. We should remain Catholics without depending on the Pope, who will continue to be the nominal chief, and the institution of universal suffrage would be applied to Catholicism, as we have frequently demanded. Let us permit M. J. M. Cayla. 'to explain his system. " The situation," he says,. "is false, intolerable—let us hasten to get rid off it." Now, of all solutions, the most simple and,. as appears to us, inevitable, is the emancipation of the French government from every Roman tram , - mel. ' It is to restore its civil constitution to the clergy.. It is the chief of the State uniting the two powers. Let. nobody believe that we think of recommending the• schism of Henry VIII. We are no longer in the time of schisms and heresies. John Bass and Luther ran the risk of having only few disciples. Religion had been so tortured that Eurape had fallen into the most complete indifference. The Emperor, as Head of the national religion, would have no need to break with Rome with respect to dogmas, The Pope, as simply a spiritual sovereign, would continue to exercise an influence over Catholicity, the greater as the Papacy would again approach the simplicity of the primitive Church. i As regards France especially, the Head of the State. would direct the administration of public worship as a Sovereign. Paris being the centre and the heart of France, the Archbishop of Paris would be named Grand Patriarch. An oecumenical council would asemble every year to regulate the state of Catholic worship. The Grand Patriarch, delegated by the Head of the State, would preside at this council. The provincial councils should be convoked several times. every year, according to the wants of the dioceses.. The Pope might be represented in the councils by . Cardinals and Bishops, who should have only a consulting; voice. There should be twelve Cardinals named directly,• by the head of the State, who should compose in turn , the Council of the Patriarch. The present Bishops should be maintained on the condition of adopting the national religion. In future the prelates should be elected by universal suffrage. The communes should name several electors for each canton ; these electors should proceed to the chief town and elect the Bishop, who should prove his quality of Frenchman. Mere priests should be eligible, according to that practice which existed in the early period of Christianity. The parish priests of communes should be elected by the inhabitants of the parish. The Siecle takes some objection to one part of; M. Cayla's project. It says : He wishes to make the Emperor the head of religion, in France. Is it well for a partisan of the separation of the temporal and spiritual power to propose sach a solu tion ? We will not have the Pope to be spiritual and: temporal head at the same time ; and here we give to the Emperor the two crowns. Let us be logical. Why wish to do in France that which we reprobate at Rome ? We believe, therefore, that the title which M. Cayla has. given to his pamphlet has already attracted disfavour to it. The Emperor has already power enough, without. being under the necessity of. asking for more. Pope and Emperor is really too much, however great our goal wishes may be. 51 ling I.ltriligturt.

Nicholls, who was• attacked at Newmarket in the Houghton Meeting, and robbed. of a serious sum of money, amounting to upwards of £l,BOO, there being up to the present, time not the least trace of the. perpetrators. No doubt this outrage had been for some time contemplated, and instead of (as was supposed) the robbers having immediately taken flight from the town, they remained unsuspected, as is shown by the fact of Mr. Nicholls's watch. having since been found by one of Mr. Bottom's farm labourers in a field on the heath, it having been, as it were, stamped with the foot into the ground, leaving the half of the chain, which was left attached, protruding out, as if purposely to. attract attention. Several gentlemen in London and in Man chester have been appointed to receive communications from parties who wish to make donations. THE CHAMPIONSIIIP.—A dinner was given on Wednesday evening, at the house of Mr. Samuel Marsland, the Commercial inn, Staly a 3ridge, previous to presenting the champion's kelt to Hurst. but, unfortunately, the champion was not present to receive the trophy, he having, during a " lark," broken a small bone in his right leg, which accident will keep him on his back for a few weeks at the very least. After the cloth was drawn,. the well-known pugilist, Levy Eckersley, was appointed chair man, and Mr. John Dobson vice-chairman. They were respectively supported by the principal backersof Hurst. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, the health of the ckam-. pion was given, anti the belt presented to his trainer, Hodgkiss, as the representative of Hurst. A handsome silver watch was presented to Hodgkiss, and upwards of £5 were subscribed for Tom Paddock in the room, to which Hurst added £5, observing, when lie seat the note, that he thought Paddock was now better off than he. The meeting was well conducted and most orderly. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. BENEFICES AND APPOINTMENTS VACANT. RECTORIES. Bincombe so.

CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS ;--" I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool,) will prore of more value, in cases of bron chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few minutes; and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended shore all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson's Materia .3fedica, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr. Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con sumption and delicate constitutions."—R.

INFANT-REARING.—Miss Martineau, wits', like all philoso phical ladies, has studied the matter thoroughly, says, that " in England alone, 40,000 babes die annually ; and one-third more of that number grow up either idiotic, sickly, or de formed." The reason is evident, as mothers, through inability to nurse their offspring, resort to the administration of baked flour, biscuits, tops-and-bottoms, or pap. The infant stomach cannot assimilate such crude preparations, and frequently rejects them; but still the nurse or mother continues them, under the hope of soothing the child. Internal inflammation place—eructations, diarrhoea, and consumption appear—and most frequently convulsions are induced which seal the infinll'o fate. The Medical Times and Gazette, August 28, 1858, p. 215, conveys Dr. C. B. F. Routh's views on the same im portant subject, and his opinion of Du Barry's Revalentas Arabica Food, as adapted to obviate the mischief effectually. Dr. Routla is physician to fire Samaritan Hospital for Women and Children. 'this learned and experienced practitioner says : *" The human milk contains, besides salts of lime, chloride of potassium. Now, in common with carbonic acid, this salt enjoys the peculiar property of dissolving carbonate of lime or chalk. An absence of it in the food, as in wheat bread, is very injurious to a growing child ; hence, a child fed on pap for a time grows fat, but the bones are soft ; frequently it. sickens, end severe symptoms supervene. Amongst the vege table substances ' that which comes closest to mi.k in its com position, besidesbeing more easily assimilated and strengthen ing, is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food. containing both phosphoric acid in abundance, and chloride of potassium; it also includes caseine, the same principle which is found in milk in its constituent parts. No wonder, there fore, that under its influence many children affected with atrophy (wasting away of the body) and marked debility have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest advantage in such eases; and, so far as 1 may judge from nay own experience, practice fully carries out what theory, from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate. It gives good muscle and strengthens the bones, restoring tone, and a healthy, regular action to the stomach and bowels, whether constipation or a relaxed state of the sy stem is complained of." C.
