SP ECIAL MEETING OF THE TRANMERE LOCAL BOARD THE NEW LANDING STAGES. - . Last night a special meeting of this Board was held, for the purpose of considering the provisions of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board Bill, as affecting. the Cheshire side of the river. Mr. Psnany, .thee chairman, called attention to the fact, and stated that in the event of the bill passing int ° law, none of the Tranmere, Rock Ferry, or East 4ara boats would be able to use the Landing-stage on the Liverpool side, incurring the expense, therefore, of new ferry -boats ; and that in consequence, the ferries I I "' named would be completely closed up ; that if the bill did pass the House of Lords, facilities would he con ferred on Birkenhead or Woodside ferry, for the passen ger and luggage traffic, such as could not be enjoyed by any other of the ferries, without materially impeding t he navigation of the river. It was, after some discus tt°ll, resolved to petition the House of Lords against the bill, especially on the clause No. 13, as it referred to t he levyi ng o f ce rtain imposti or tolls on all luggage i !blight over the...river,- •• •• - • • CONCERT AT BOOTLE. On Tuesday evening, the " Derby Bootle Band" gave a concert at Bootle village. This band consists of some IR - youths, the sons of gentlemen who reside in the , - ne ighbourhood ; and although the band has been organised only five or six months, the degree of excel lence which the boys have reached is most remarkable. When the band was formed, the promoters engaged Mr. Peter Stubbs to teach the lads, not only music, but m ilitary exercise, and it is pleasing and astonishing to see the advance they have made in both, in such a short time, with two lessons a week ; it is a proof of what can b e done in a short time by an efficient instructor with a pt pupils. Previous to the concert, the boys were put t hrough all the military evolutions, and we have never k en, even amongst the best drilled soldiers, more pre cision and correctness than they exhibited. As to the concert, it was excellent, and reflects the highest credit Mr. Stubbs and the boys themselves. The pieces were well selected and admirably executed. There was ° tie piece in particular, written by Mr. Stubbs, called the k Rejected," which met with enthusiastic reception. There were four amateur glee-singers, and these gave some excellent pieces with telling effect. Towards the close, Master Reay beat the " Tomb of War " on a small drum, in a manner diat brought down rounds of applause, and had he had a better instrument, the performance Wo uld have been perfect. The audience was most , 44 Pectalilt and thi iorim N;rai crowded, so much so, that E egrai Per-ions were obliged to go away, as they could not obtain an entrance. We congratulate the inha bitants of Bootle on the acquisition of this fine band, Which in a short time must command high attention. LONDON & NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY & THE SMOKE NUISANCE. Yesterday, the above company were summoned before 4 essrs. Castellain and Rathhone, at the Police Court, by the direction of the Health Committee, for an I Ifringement of the Smoke Prevention Act, in having certain locomotive engines without apparatus for con suming their own smoke. Mr. M.Gowan, the deputy t own clerk, appeared on behalf of the Health Com nilttee • and Mr. Marshall represented the Railway C ompany. The former gentleman, in opening the case t° the bench, after stating the facts of the case, referred t° a memorial and innumerable letters which had been received by the authorities, complaining of the nuisance ar ising from the smoke emitted from the defendants' engines at Edge-hill, and went so far as to state that u nless it was prevented, they could not live in the houses at Speketield Cottages. This memorial, how "et/ was not admissable as evidence, and therefore could not be read, but several of the memorialists were in a ttendance to substantiate its correctness. Mr. Wignall th e Smoke Inspector, proved that on the 3rd of May he 84 1 the engine Vixen vomiting forth dense volumes of black smoke from 6.23 to 6.33, being an interval of ten minutes. He examined the engine, and did not see any A PParatus for the consumption of smoke. He also qserved a quantity of coals on the engine. This wit iless was cross-examined by Mr. Marshall, but his e'idence was not in the slightest degree shaken. Police constable 752 fully corroborated the inspector's state tent. A witness was called to prove that the smoke e mitted from the engines was a great nuisance to the i nhabitants ; and others were in attendance to corrobo rate his statement. Mr. Marshall then addressed the 4 64 ch for the defendants, and referred to a case which had been argued in the Court of Queen's Bench, to the effect that the company were not liable if the engines ire provided with the necessary apparatus for con -Bnoaing the smoke. He called the driver, who swore that there was no smoke, nor yet any coal on the engine at the time, and that there was the proper apparatus. T his evidence was confirmed by the stoker, but he could not s ay the day of the week or the month that the c ffence occurred. Each of these witnesses were cross elarained at great length by Mr. M'Gowan, but they persisted in their statements. A Mr. Ramsbottom, a l ocomotive engineer, was called, and he stated that the e ngine had the apparatus, but could not say what state was in, as he did not see it on the day in question, nor had he seen it since. After a lengthy discussion, the magistrates dismissed the case, and Mr. M'Gowan a ,PPlied for a case for a superior court , wh ich was, h owever, refused. The defendants were then sum moned f or a similar offence on the 4th of May. Mr. Wignall Rated that on that day he saw dense volumes of black s toke from the engine Eclipse, from 8,9, to 8.27. There was no smoke consuming apparatus, and there Iv es at least 25 cwt. of coals on the engine. He saw the driver, who told him that there was no smoke consuming apparatus, and begged of him not to prefer t ills information—if he did, he (the driver) would be discharged. Police-constable 752 corroborated this s tatement. Mr. Marshall called the driver, who par tially admitted the statement made by the inspector and t he constable, and the magistrates fined the railway company £5 and costs. ASSAULT.-A DELICATE CASE. Yesterday, at the Police-court, before Messrs. Castel lain and Rathbone, a case came on for hearing that teased much attention. It was a charge of assault preferred by a young man named Arthur Wellington Mills, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Alfred arber and Co., merchants, against Mr. William Wood, a watchmaker, 69, Lord-street. Mr. Black appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Dodd for the defence. Mr. Bluck opened the case at some length, and said he was only recently instructed in it, for had he been previously consulted he would have advised another course. He then went on to state the facts of the case which were given in evidence by the complainant, and it appeared that the complainant met the daughter of Mr. Wood last summer at the Gardens. He said he introduced himself to her, but did not know who she was. They continued to meet tip to about four months ago, when the acquaintance Was broken off. On the 22nd instant the defendant called at his office, said " My name is Wood," and then beat him severely, and he has been ill nearly since that time from the effects of it. The defendant wanted to force him to marry his daughter, but he would not be forced to do anything that way. The chief part of the case, however, was elicited on the cross-examination of the witness by Mr. Dodd as follows. Did you take the young lady to any other place than the gardens ? Yes, to the Theatre and Clayton-hall. Was that a dancing-room ? No. Did you take her to a dancing-room ? I met her at one. Did you know who she was ? I knew her Christian name. Do you know how old she is ? She told me she was 17, and 19, and 20, so I don't know how old she is. How old are You, sir ? I am 25. Did she ever say she was only 16 ? No. Did you ever give her your likeness ? I had one and she kept it. Then you gave it to her ? Yes, she kept it, and I did not ask it back. 'Was that all that took place ? Yes, that's all. Have you been in the shop in Lord-street ? Yes, I saw her at the door, and she asked me to go into the shop. Mr. Dodd—Then, sir, do you swear you did not know who she was ? I only knew her Christian name. Mr. Dodd : What are you, sir ? A clerk.—Where ? At Alfred Barber and Co's.—What are they? Merchants. —Mr. Dodd : Did you not know who Mr. Wood was when he called on you ? I did not, but he said, " my name is Wood," and he then struck me at once.--Mr. Dodd : Without saying anything further ? After he struck me, he asked me to go to his house to explain something.—Mr. Dodd : Did he not say you had seduced his daughter ? No ; but he called out as loud as he could, "seducer." When I went out in the street, he seized me by the collar, and brought me to the house. Mr. Dodd : That was after he beat you ? -Yee.—And what did he say then ? He wanted to know what my intentions towards his daughter were. lie did not accuse me of ruining her; but he wanted me to marry her, and said I was a seducer.—What did you say to that ? I told him he had better consult my friends on the subject. —Mr. Dodd : What happened after the beating you got ? I was ill after it ; and I was so Much affected, that I did not know what I was doing. —fir. Dodd : Had you a fit after the licking You got ? I had.----Mr. Dodd : Was, it a love-fit ? Not exactly ; for I lost my presence' of mind after it. --Mr. Dodd : Did you deny that You had acted improperly towards the young lady ? I did then. — Mr. Dodd: Do you deny it now, sir, on your oath ? Be cautious what you say.—Mr. Bluck : Remember you come here to tell the whole truth, and you are sworn to do so ; so tell the truth at all hazards. 'Witness : I do not deny it now.—Mr. Castellain : Did you ever pro mise to marry the young lady ? Never.—Mr. Castellain You swear that positively ? I do.—Mr. Dodd : Was the young lady present at the interview ? Yes, .for about a minute and a half. —Mr. Dodd : Not more ? No.— Mr. Dodd : Did you not adjust your collar s el the glass, and draw yourself up in great style notwithstanding the Yes—th t a wtis after I was beaten.—Mr. Castel lain : Do you deny the assault, Mr. Dodd ? Mr. Dodd : Certainly not, sir;. but I want to show the provocation in this case.—Mr. Castellain: We think the provocation was extremely great. We regret Mr. Wood has taken the law into his own hands, but we cannot forget the pro vocation he has received, and therefore we fine him the lowest penalty is • our power—namely, one farthing, and one farthing costs. The parties then left. Mr. Bluck said in the course of his long and varied experience in that court, he never knew so small a fine being imposed. lie would have it for a precedent in future cases. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY (Before Mr. RATTLES.) VIOLENT ASSAVLTS. Agnes Simpson, described as d French polisher, was charged for having committed a desperate assault on a mechanic, named James Ryan. It appeared that the parties, with others were drinking in a house in Poplar-lane, and that they got intoxicated. They then quarrelled, when the prisoner struck Ryap on the forehead with a half-gallon tin measure, inflicting a terrible wound. She ,was .afterwards arrested in her bed, where she was in al state of drunkenness. Surgeon M'Caul said the wound was deep and serious.: It wouldmot at present, endanger the man's life, but he could not tell what turn it might take, as it was very severe. The prisoner said they were all drunk, and the complainant was calling her bad names, when she struck him in her own defence. She was remanded for a week, in order to see how the wounded man would get on. . Anne Jane Parry and Eliza Cover, two decent -looking per sons, were brought up by officer 377, on a charge of being disorderly and fighting in Low-hill-street, the previous after noon. The prisoner Parry had her arm broken ; and Mr. Bluck appeared for Cover. The officer could not tell how the fight commenced, as he got them " at it" when he came up ; and although Parry's arm was broken, she tugged away like Tom Sayers, without the aid of the limb. It appeared that she was the aggressor, and that in the " ruckshin " the other woman struck her on the arm with a sweepiug brush, and broke it. Mr. Block contended that his client ought to be discharged, as she was not in fault, but acted in self-defence. Mr. Raffles said the other woman was the aggressor, but he thought the injury to her arm was punishment enough. He would therefore discharge both, which he did. WATCH STEALING. Catherine Stanton was charged by Thomas Bowers, of Hard wick-street, for having stolen his watch. The prosecutor took the prisoner into a cook shop in Norman-street, to get some refreshment, and whilst there, he stated he lost his watch, and that no one except the prisoner could have taken it. The watch, however, was not forthcoming, but the prisoner was remanded. MEETING OF THE A.M.C. OF ODD• FELLOWS, MANCHESTER UNITY.. Tuesday *as the A;M:C. (or annual parliament) meet• ing of the tiddfelloWs, Manchester Unity, at Shrews bury, When iipsVarils df 290 delegdtes met for the general bUsiness of the' society. The morning was ushered in by the firing of cannon, ringing of bells, and other demonstrations of joy, and the town generally presented a gay appearance. At eleven o'clock the procession was formed in the Market-place, preceded by the Mayor (William Burr, Esq.) 'and the Corporation of the borough, and proceeded to St. Chad's Church, where an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. John Yardley, after which a collection was made in behalf of the Salop Infirmary, and liberally responded to. At the close of the service the procession (numbering upwards of 3,000 members) re-formed, and paraded the different parts of the town, accompanied by thousands of admiring spec tators, notwithstanding the occasional showers that fell. The members then dispersed to their various lodges for dinner, the delegates and their friends (amounting to nearly 500) repairing to the Music hall, to a banquet prepared by P.P.G.M. Cares well, whose arrangements gave every satisfaction. The dinner was presided over by William Burr, Esq., supported by the Corporation, and was well attended. After the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and appropriate toasts were given and responded to ; also the toasts in connection with the order, and the company separated highly delighted. The com mittee of management, with a view to add to the plea sure of the visitors, secured some excellent glee-singers, who acquitted themselves in a masterly style. Also, at the request of the committee, the use of the "Quarry," or Shrewsbury Park, was granted, where the bands played during the evening. The society now consists of about 310,000 members, meeting in 3,400 lodges, which lodges are comprised in 441 districts at home and abroad. THE EARTHQUAKES AT LIMA. The following sketch of this disaster, contained in a private letter, has been handed to the Times ; "LIMA, April 28. " I am now going to give you an account of what happened here on Sunday, the 22nd inst. (April). I was that day at Chorillos, which, as I have before stated, is a bathing place on the sea coast about nine miles from here, when, at two p.m., the severest shock of earthquake was felt that has ever been . experienced here within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. 1 was at the time on a visit at the house of my Mend, Mr. R., together with several other people, among whom were the American Minister, wife, and daughter ; on the first oscillation we all rushed out; it was really frightful, the earth heav ing in the 'midst of a tremendous subterranean noise, the houses and walls falling, the women screaming, and in the midst of such a thick cloud of dust that we could not see the ground we were standing on, the shock lasting for the space of about fifty seconds, when it ceased; the wind gradually drew off the thick cloud of dust, raised by the trembling of the earth and the falling of walls and rubbish; the sight then began to look somewhat ludicrous, the whole population in the open air begrimed with dirt, many on their knees crying out 4 Misericordia !' and the women fainting all round. Several houses and walls were thrown down, and nearly every house more or less injured. The one in which I was in at the time, though not entirely thrown down, was rendered unin habitable. My house scarcely suffered at all, being new and strongly built, a few bottles and crockery being the extent of the damage ; two poor women were killed, and several injured. Of people who were bathing at the time, some were injured and some were killed by the cliff falling upon them. Had the shock taken place during the night or during church time the loss of life would have been very great; indeed, it was so severe that we expected Lima would have been laid in ruins, but to our surprise less damage 'occurred there than in Chorrillos, the houses of this city being very massively built in order to resist such accidents. A great deal of damage, however, has been done, and the papers have since published daily long lists of casualties, though but few lives have been lost. The earth continued trem bling at intervals for 36 hours after, and the next morn ing (Monday) at 6.45 a.m. another very severe shock was felt, though not so strong as the one on the previous day. This, of course, added greatly to the panic generally felt. No carts or carriages were allowed in the streets for fear of their noise adding to the general alarm. The shops were closed, and all business suspended, everybody remaining at the doors of their houses ready for a run at a moment's warning. Many people went into the fields, and the two following nights were passed by thousands in the open air. On Monday evening, the image of our Lord of the Miracles was taken out of his church, and carried in grand procession, followed by an immense concourse of people, to, visit 'St. Peter, where it remained all night, and was conveyed back again the next morn ing. This act 9f devotion did a great deal of good, by quieting the minds of the common people, who believed that it would put a stop to the earthquakes ; in fact, there have only been some slight shocks since. It was an imposing sight to see a procession of 8,000 or 10,000 people going along the streets by torchlight, and pray ing i n a loud voice, in a more solemn and probably more sincere manner than they ever did in their lives before. - The sensations I felt by the shock were such as are felt by all. No animal courage is of avail in such cases, as in fires, shipwrecks, or any other com mon disaster, where the danger is palpably before you, and cannot be altogether realised. In severe earth quakes both man and beast are filled with indescribable terror ; of course, coolness and presence of mind are very necessary where you may happen be in a dan gerous situation. When the second shock occurred, the next morning, nearly everyone was in bed, and many got up and rushed into the street in the state they were; and, of course, many laughable stories have been told of the figures cut by some. "A chasm, nearly a mile long and several feet wide, has been opened in the ground at some distance from the city ; and all the farms have been much injured by the unsettling of the surface of the ground. It is not likely we shall be disturbed again for a long time, as these heavy shocks only occur at long intervals." The following curious advertisement appears in the Bristol Mirror of Saturday :—" If the gentleman who borrowed the 4th volume of Macaulay's History of England for a fortnight, some two years since, is deter mined not to return it, he had better apply to J. It. T., Mirror office, for the three remaining volumes, which will render his set complete." I AM NOT MAD !-A singular scene took place at the Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday, during the trial of a man who was charged with robbery. Eleven of the jurypro nounced for a conviction, but one dissentient declared that if he was locked up for six months he would not agree to a verdict of guilty, as the stolen coins had not been identified by marks. The jury were thereupon locked up, but after a lapse of several hours they were brought back into court without, however, being able to agree to their verdict The foreman said that there was no chance of their agreeing ; and further stated that it was the opinion of some of the jury; who were acquainted with the solitary dissentient, that his mind was affected. An amusing discussion then took place. The judge sought for more precise information on the subject, and this induced a juryman to speak in general terms of some circumstances of a painful character which might have affected his colleague's intellect ; whereupon the latter gentleman indignantly denied the justice of the imputations which had been cast upon his sanity, and said that the statement was a very ungentlemanly one to make.. Ultimately, after eight hou,re confinement, the jury were dismissed, being unable to agree. GREAT MEETING IN BIRMINGH/-nt LAST NIGHT. .(BY BRITISH AND MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) A monster meeting was held last night in the Town hall, Birmingham, for the purpose of considering the Reform Bill. Thomas Lloyd, Esq., mayor, presided. The Mayor, on opening the business, after some preliminary observations, stated that although the meeting was covened to consider the Reform Bill, he should, nevertheless, admit a resolution relative to the great event which had recently taken place in the House of Lords, inasmuch as it was important that the meeting should have an opportunity of considering how far the usage of two centuries in connection with their legisla ture should be departed from. His worship then read a letter from Mr. Scholefield, M.P., in which that gentle man referred, in very decisive terms, to the conduct of the House of Lords in rejecting the Paper Duties Bill. Alderman James Baldwin then moved, and the Rev. J. Lord seconded the following resolution, which was carried unanimenily :—" That inasmuch as the Govern ment Reforni Bill will considerably,dtend the privilege of voting amongst the working daises, this meeting, whilst asserting the right to a rhore comprehensive measure, and especially regretting that it, does not provide a lodger franchise, is of opinion that the bill is entitled to the cordial 'support of all friends of Par liamentary reform." The meeting was then addressed by Alderman Hawkes, Mr. Middlemore, Mr. Radford, Mr. Smith, and Mr. J. S. Wright, who proposed a resolution, which was unanimously carried, condemning the conduct of the House of Lords with reference to the paper duty bill. Mr. Bright then rose, and was received with tremen dous cheering which lasted for some time ; after which he said, he supposed there was not to be found within the confines of this island, any man who would express a doubt as to the earnestness and fidelity with which the people of Birmingham bad attached themselves in modern times to the cause of Parliamentary Reform. Notwithstanding that, it was most wise for them to meet on that very occasion, because it was a time of more interest to observant politicians than any that has passed in this country for thirty years. He had to thank them —and he did so on the part of his colleague and himself—for the resolution of approbation they had passed; and he wished to express that which he really felt, that .of all the meetings he had attended in that hall since his political connection with the borough, the present was to him .a source of the greatest pleasure, for he thought he had observed more earnestness and more resolution in the speeches deliVered, and more determination in the great body of the meeting upon the great question of Parliamentary Reform thaii he hid before Witnessed at any previous assembly; and let theni not deceive themselves, thinking that the battle in which they Were engaged was likely to be quickly over. They had, no doubt, read speeches which had been delivered during the present session, and they knew what had been said and how the question of Reform had been treated in both Houses. They knew that there appeared to be a determination to resist, to the utmost point that they dare, the con cession of any further political rights to the people; and, that after the many promises made by the leading men in the House of Commons, whether they looked to the treasury benches, or to those gentlemen who were anxious to place themselves on them, they knew that there was not a man amongst them who was not pledged to an honest extension of the suffrage. They had not less than five Governments presided over by Lord J. Russell, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Derby, and twice by Lord Palmerston; and in those governments they had included all' the living race of office holders, who assumed to themselves, and were assumed by the press, to be the only statesmen in the country. (Laughter.) Now, let them ask themselves what was intended by their promises—something or nothing ? To what extent were they promised this parliamentary franchise should be extended ? Why they started from where they left left off thirty years ago, when they placed the county franchise at £.50 and the borough at £lO, and really the borohgh franchise had worked so well, that the Conservatives themselves were most anxious to preserve it for ever. (Laughter.) If they started where they left off thirty years ago with a £lO franchise, which they now adniitted worked so well, why should they not proceed with some rapidity to a thorough good substantial reform rather than perplexing themselves with a crotchety franchise, unsuitable to the people? (Hear, hear.) Why not start from a solid basis, and maintain that great truth that there were millions 'of intelligent industrious men in England capable of discharging the duties of citizenship. (Hear, hear, and applause.) There was increased ability, and in all directions there was mani fested marked improvement amongst the masses. He did not want to make them dissatified with the pro position of the Government, but to show them how grossly insulting and unjust the language was which had been used with reference to this class, for whom they were legislating. He would therefore say if they did not get a bill with as low a franchise as that pro posed, they would do nothing towards opening the door to the working classes through the medium of the fran chise. If the Government passed a bill one iota less advantageous than that now proposed it would only be a cheat upon the people, unsettle the minds of the popu lation, and destroy what faith still remained in those who were yet considered the leading men of the country. He vindicated the working classes in mast energetic terms from the aspersion cast upon them by the various speakers in the House; and having urged the necessity of increased union and activity among the Reformers, with a view to the final carrying out of the measure, he dismissed the question of Reform, and proceeded to the consideration of the rejection of the Paper Duties Bill by the House of Lords. The question now put to them was this, were the men of Birmingham willing to accept new masters. (Cries of " No, no.") It was not a question of the individual responsibility of the Crowe, but it was one touching the irresponsibility of an hereditary corporation of rulers. It was an unheard-of thing throughout the land. No man living had ever seen the people's power thus usurped. No man could say he remembered the day when the House of Lords had levied a tax upon this great free English nation. It was reserved for this year of grace 1860 to witness this monster of legislation make its appearance; and it would be for the people to put such a ban upon it that it would never occur again. (Loud and continued applause.) The hon. gentleman then adverted to the discussion which had taken place in the House of Commons upon the subject, and, after dwelling at some length upon the great value and imp ortance of the treaty with he e F e r e a d n u c e e t , he proceeded to n otice, in strong terms, t •of -a portion of the press, at - the head of which stood the Times, with reference to the subject. Mr. Bright said the repeal, of the paper duty would impart new life and vigour to the • p enn y papers. (Hear, hear.) They would be larger and better, though it might, per haps, be difficult for some of them The hon. gentleman, in conclusion, adverted t o known determination of the Lords to resist popular to h e t h h e e t wellter improvements pi indeed o d s: e m d c a n ts fatalso long dey af for theyr Eeg c le o e u d ld ihfoltdheouLt.erdle would assume to themselves a po wer the y did not possess, and m th e e d ir dl f e er w ef i a th th blood.

About 250 of the county of Limerick force, it is added, have already done so, or are so disposed.

The pit is the largest in the world, being 18 feet in diameter and 370 yards in depth. The estimate of its workings is 1,000 tons of coal per day. The expenses thus far have been £130,000, exclusive of £35,000 for waggons, &c. The ground is of a most difficult nature, the layers often extending 15 feet without a bed, crack, fissure, or any opening whatever. The rock had all to be blasted with gunpowder. The resources of the scam are comparatively boundless, the property extending seven miles from Taff up to Cwm Neal, and three miles in width, covering 4,000 to 5,000 acres of four-foot coal. The royalty, which is 99 years, is held by a firm com posed of Mr. John Nixon, the well-known colliery proprietor at Merthyr ; Hugh Taylor, Esq., M.P. for Tynemorith ; and W. Cory, Esq., shipowner and coal contractor of London. The commencement of the use of this coal afloat began about 1810, on board the Thames steam boats, to work Penn's engines. In the same year the coal was shipped to Nantes and given awey to the French for trial, with the sole condition that the engineers should throw it into the furnaces and leave it alone to stoke itself. Nextly the sugar refiners adopted it, as they suffered considerably if the steam was not kept up to a pressure of 501 b., and if allowed to fall below that rate their works were completely stopped. With the Welsh coal they cleaned out their fires but once instead of twice, and thereby effected a saving in the working day of three hours and a-half. The French riyer steamers followed, and here the only ;objection raised was, that without the long trail of smoke from their funnels their customers would not be able to see their vessels approaching from a distance. The French Government then became convinced of its efficiency, and, adopting it, have adhered to its exclusive use ever since. Other governments have likewise pro fited by its advantages ; but although it is consumed in the fleet of the Peninsular and Oriental , Company, the Royal Mail, Cunard's and others, the English Govern ment has not hitherto availed itself of it. The embryo town of Mountain Ash, with already a population of 5,000 souls,: has recently been the scene of great re joicings, as the "winning" or striking of so vast a seam .off : opal will :bring with it additional activity and prosperity to its neighbOurliood.--;llfechanics' Magazine. MATRIMONIAL. UNHAPPINESS. COURT.-TUESDAY. FURNESS V. FURN'ESS.,: Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. E. Ward we're counsel for the petitioner. The marriage in this case took place in 1837, and the parties lived together until 1846, and had two children. Robert Furness, the respondent, was an oil and colour man, and carried on business, first at Kingsland, and afterwards in different parts of the suburbs of London. In 1846 he left his wife and went through the ceremony of marriage with Fanny Hall. When Fanny Hall found out that he had a wife she gave him into custody, and he was tried for bigamy, but acquitted ; Mrs. Furness refusing to appear against him. Upon his promise of amendment, she returned to co habitation with him, and they lived together again until 1854. He then formed a criminal connection with a girl named Charlotte Smith, told his wife that he wished her to leave him, and, on her refusal, he began a course Of ill-treatment, frequently struck her with his fists, bruised her dnd blackened her eyes, and threatened her with the poker. in SepteMber, 1857, ha gave up living with her, but for some time cotaributed to her support. He, continued to carry on' his orirainal inter course with Smith. vv The petitioner having given evidence of the cruelty, and the adultery having been proved by other witnesses, the Court granted a decree on the ground of adultery coupled with cruelty. DAY V. DAY AND DONEY. James Day prayed for a dissolution of his marriage with Anne Day, on the gronnd of her adultery with William Doney. The respondent denied the adultery, and also pleaded condonation. The co-respondent denied the adultery. _ _ _ Mr. Denman appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Metcalfe for the co-respondent. The respondent was not represented by counsel. The petitioner and the respondent were formerly in service in a nobleman's family, and were married in 1838. They have four children. For the last five years he has had a situation in the General Post-office as a letter carrier. During that time he and his wife have lived at Islington, and have let out part of their house to lodgers. Among the lodgers was Doney, another Letter-carrier, and his wile. Mrs. Doney died early in 1858, and soon after her death a criminal intimacy sprang up between Doney and Mrs. Day. The other lodgers and the children of the Days noticed several sus picious circumstances in their conduct ; and in Decem ber, 1858, their criminality was brought to the know ledge of Day, who immediately ceased to cohabit with his wife. The case was clearly proved by two of the lodgers and by two of the children, Mary Ann and Elizabeth, of the respective ages of 15 and 13. Their lordships dissolVed the marriage, and condemned the co-respondent in costs. IRVINE V. IRVINE AND GILL, Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Pritchard for the respondent. The petitioner, George Irvine, was the mate of a vessel trading to Australia. He married the respondent, then Emma Johnson, at Hartlepool in 1845, and has had two children by her. The petitioner alleged that in 1858, during his absence on a voyage, she committed adultery with a seafaring man named George Gill. The respondent pleaded a denial of the adultery, condona tion, and a counter charge of adultery. The hearing was adjourned, in order that the petition might be amended by the addition of a general allega tion of adultery, and that further evidence of adultery might be adduced. BOND V. BOND. Mr. Serjeant Pigott and Dr. Spinks conducted the petitioner's case. Mrs. Charlotte Bond prayed for a dissolution of her marriage with Hancock Stanley Bond, on the ground of adultery, coupled with cruelty and desertion. Mrs. Bond stated that she was married at Bathwick, in Somerset, in July, 1840. Her maiden name was Marchmont. The respondent was the son of Mr. Bond, of Bqndville, in Ireland. They lived in London, and tra velled on the continent after the marriage. In 1843 they were staying with her sister, the wife of a clergyman in Warwickshire. They had some words about a maid servant, and he kicked her out of bed. Shortly after wards she had a miscarriage. Her income, 15() a year, was settled upon her, and they had no other means to live upon. Her husband had about £6OO from her, and about £l,OOO from her sister. He was a man of very intemperate habits. He sometimes left her for three or four mouths at a time. She had a child in January, 1515, which was now dead. They were then living in Ireland, at Grange-park. She hired a girl, Mary Ann Hegan, to attend to the child. When the fever broke out her husband insisted upon her coming to England. She came to England with the child and Hegan ; but Hegan soon afterwards returned to Ireland, because, as she said, her mother was dying. At the end of 1845 she returned to Grange. Her husband allowed her to travel by herself, and when she arrived said nothing to her, but took away the child to show to Hegan, who was living with him. She insisted upon his sending Hogan out of the house, and he did so, but got very drunk and cried very much because she had left. He never slept in the house after that night.. He came to the house- in the day-time, and abused and threatened her. He held the tea-kettle over her, and threatened to boil her brains out ; he took up knives to her, and on one occasion he struck her vio lently with his fist on the temple. He also said he would serve her as the Due de Praslin had served his wife ; and for several weeks she lived upon milk, which was brought to her by her English nurse, for fear of being poisoned. She sent for her husband's brother, and he.supplied her with money with which she went to England about six weeks after she had been struck. She had never lived with him since. Last March she recived a letter from him, dated from Mile-end, London, in which he said that he was reformed, and entreated her forgiveness. Her evidence was corroborated by . her sister, Mrs. Onslow. Two Irish labourers proved that in 1815, after Mary Ann Hegan was dismissed from Grange-park, she went to live at a house in the neighbourhood, and that Mr. Bond slept with her there every night. The Judge-Ordinary said the respondent's domicile appeared to be in Ireland; and the same question was therefore raised, as in the case before the Court on Monday, with regard to the jurisdiction. It was a question of great difficulty and importance, and time must be taken for its consideration. INUNDATIONS IN THE NORTH OF EUROFE.—The large quantity of snow which fell at the beginning of the spring has lately produced numerous inundations in the interior of Russia. The Dniester and the Dnieper have caused great ravages; and the town of Kremenschong, on the latter river, has suffered very considerably. Like wise in all the interior of Sweden, the lakes and rivers have risen to an extraordinary height. In several places the country has been inundated and the navigation inter rupted. The spring was announcing itself under the most propitious auspices; in the memory of man the vegetation has never been seen finer. MT. THACKERAY AND THE PRIZE FIGHT.—The Scotsman says :—" In the Cornhill Maga.:ine for June, the editor thus pleasantly corrects an error into which a London correspondent of ours had unfortunately fallen in describing him as having been among the illustrious spectators of the late fight I have read in the corres pondent's letter of a northern newspaper, that in the midst of the company assembled the reader's humble servant was present ; and in a very polite society, too, a ' poe t s , ulprgymmt, mon .f lAtt.ra, and meniheriu n f both Houses of Parliament.' If so, I must have walked to the station in my sleep, paid three guineas in a pro found fit of mental abstraction, alai returned to bed unconscious, for I certainly awoke there about the time when history relates that the fight was over. Ido not know whose colours 1 wore—the Benician's or those of the English champion ; nor remember where the fight took place, which, indeed, no somnambulist is bound to recollect.' " TUE FABLE OE THE WANDERING JEW.—The legend of a Jew ever wandering and never dying, even from the crucifixion of Jesus to this day, has spread over many European countries. The accounts, however, as in all fables, do not agree. One version is this :—When Jesus was led to death oppressed by the weight of the cross, he wished to rest himself near the gate at the house of a shoemaker, named Ahasuerus. This man, however, sprang forth and thrust him away. Jesus turned towards him, saying : " I shall rest ; but thou shalt move on till I return." And from that time he has no rest, and is obliged incessantly to wander about. Another version is that given by Mathias Parisiensis, a monk of the 13th century : When Jesus was led from the tribunal of Pilate, to death, the doorkeeper named Cartaffious, pushed him from behind with his foot, saying—" Walk on Jesus, quickly. Why lost thou tarry ?" Jesus looked at him gravely, and said, " I walk on, but thou shalt tarry till I come." And this man, still alive, wanders from place to place, in constant dread of the wrath to come. A third legend adds that the wandering Jew falls sick every hundred years, but recovers and renews his strength; hence it is stated that even, after so many centuries, he does not look much older than a Septuagenarian. Thus much for the legends. Not one of the ancient authors makes even mention of such an account. The first who reports something is a monk of the thirteenth century, when, as is known, the world was filled with pious fiction, even to disgust. However, the story has spread so far, that it has become a proverb, " He runs about like a wandering Jew." There are not persons wanting who assert to have seen the wandering Jew ; but when their evidence is examined by the test of historical cre dibility, it is found that some impostor had made use of this fable to impose upon some simple-minded people for some parpose of his own. However, the legend is not altogether untrue ; there is a wandering Jew who roves about Europe, throughout every century. This imperishable being ia—prejudiee against the Jews.— , Jewish Chronicle. • , ,THE WINE TRADE L.NDER THE NEW French wines show an increase cf ter cent.

An Irishman has written a mad book to prove that Shak spere himself, whom we have always looked upon as a great Englishman, was really a Welshman, giving for the faith within him, the trnly Ilibernian reason, that none but a Celt could have possessed such a capacious and active mind wedded' to such unequalled power of speech. facetious antiqtYaria'n and genealogist has capped the climax by Venitiri'ng oh We' shrewyd guess, that 300 O'Gradys kept the paSs of Thermopylm; and that the Tenth Legion was entirely composel of Tippe rary men. We have seen the Irish newspapers claim kindred with Odillon Barrot ; we have seen them go further a-field, seize upon Lin, the Chinese commissioner, and make out his descent from Brian O'Linn. Nay, the famous Tin-Ping-Wang himself was an Irish emigrant, who settled by mistake in China, and, as a matter of course, got up a rebellion. The radical origin of 111‘31a.hon of the sword is well-established, and who can doubt that Cavaignac was originall4 Cavanagh ; but fancy the burning indignation that fills every Celtic breast at the conduct of the hero of Solferino. Has he not, ashamed of the country of his fathers, had the audacity to misspell his name in order to hide his nationality, and called himself Niel, as if he were a Frenohoi.., itiztcad of O'Noil, hio true and Icsitiwate name ? That is the reason why no sword was presented to the gallant marshal. But if Niel is ungrateful to the land of his fathers, what shall we say of Pope Pius IX. ? Here is another instance of an attempt to blind the world to the true origin of a great man. We have discovered that some centuries ago a scion of the royal race of O'Feraghty migrated from Ireland to Italy, changed the horrid guttural enunciation into the softer style of Fer retti, and in dtte time furnished an incumbent to the throne of St. Peter: Perhaps it is the Irish thigh' of the Holy Father which has caused such a burst of Irish sympathy; • and tic) doubt General Ldnioricier6 was inspired to become the champion of the Papal Coutt by the mysterious work ings of consanguinity. For all the learned world and the unlearned world know that Lamoriciere is also descended from an Irish emigrant—one Larry Morrissey, an ancestor of the Yankee Hibernian who conquered Mr. J. Heenan. The editors of the Irish newspapers are truly Catholic in their relationships. They embrace in one wide stretch Pius IX., Mr. Heenan, Lola Montes, Liu, Le-Ping- Wang, and Nena Sahib, the proper name of whose fore fathers was, it is well known, that of a Hibernian chief, the Lord of Nenagh, easily convertible, it will be seen, upon the principles of Irish philology, into Nena Sahib. To this illustrious gallery they have added a new hero, who, we fear, will not appreciate the compliment. But we must say they are quite impartial. That they should claim Lamoriciere, who is the defender of the illustrious descendant of Massey O'Feraghty; is not sift-prising. Yet we did not anti cipate that they would claim Garibaldi. They have done so, and we give way at once to the very logical proof advanced in support of the claim. Here it is, as published in a Limerick paper : The famous Garibaldi is of Irish extraction. His grand father was engaged in the troubles of 1798, and emigrated to Italy. His name was Garret Baldwin, changed to Garibaldi, and his residence was on the borders of the county of Limerick, but in the county of Cork. Who can doubt such categorical assertions ? No doubt they rest on the same irrefragable foundation as the pedigree of Commissioner Lin and our own discovery of the Celtic origin of the Holy Father. And so deeply are our facile friends over the water convinced that Garibaldi is a sipling sprung from the great Garret Baldwin Baldwin, by the way, is a truly Celtic name that the Limerick Chronicle and the Clonntel Chronicle are engaged in a contro versy regarding the birthplace of the Italian chief. Each newspaper editor is ready to stake his life on the truth of the proposition that Garibaldi is an Irishman ; but they cannot agree what happy spot in Munster gave birth to the now famous emigrant, his grandfather. What a pity it is that the great men of the Celtic race cannot be persuaded to stay in their native land, giving to her those energies which they apply and misapply in behalf of all the peoples of the earth from China to Peru! Mr. Leatham, of Wakefield, writes to the Tones denying that he is a " disciple " of Mr. Bright ; he is only his brother-in-law. THE SILLOTH LIFEBOAT.—The National Lifeboat Institution has this week sent one of its best single banked lifeboats, accompanied with a transportinr, car riage, to Silloth. The boat is 30 feet long, 17 feet wide, and rows 8 oars. The transporting carriage of the boat, which was built by Mr. Robinson, of Camden Town, London, is admirably adapted for its purpose. By an ingenious contrivance, the boat, with her crew on board, is launched off the carriage ; with their oars in their hands, they are enabled to obtain headway before the breakers have time to beat the boat broadside on the beach. The hauling up of the lifeboat on her carriage is accomplished with equal facility. The cost (£180) of the lifeboat and her equipments is the benevolent gift of Miss Burdett Coutts. A commodious and substantial house has been built for the reception of the lifeboat, her stores, and carriage ; in fact there is probably not a more complete lifeboat establishment on the whole coast than at Silloth. A free conveyance was readily given to the boat and carriage by the London and Northwestern Railway Company, who have on previous occasions gra tuitously carried the lifeboats and carriages of the insti tution. The National Lifeboat Institution has now 103 lifeboats in connection with it,—a truly noble fleet, and only outnumbered by the navies of commerce and war, but the largest life-saving fleet the world has ever seen. Some of these boats were last year instrumental in saving 227 of our fellow-creatures from a watery grave. We understand the launch will take place on this day fort night, when cheap trains will be run.—Carlisle Journal. THE SCILLY ISLANDS. —ln a paper by Francis Banfield, Esq., vice-consul, &c., Scilly, on " The Scilly Islands; their Ancient and Modern History, Shipping, Agriculture and Fisheries," and showing how these islands might be further utilised for national and com mercial purposes, he says—This interesting group of islands—about 100 in number, with their romantic bold coasts and bays, are most eligibly situated for the summer tourist or the winter invalid, the climate being very salubrious. The beaches form the finest bathing ground that can be desired, being all fine shelving sand slopes, and adorned with shells, seaweeds, &c. The present population is under 3,000, amongst whom aro 20 persons whose united ages amount to 1,709 years, most of them being able to attend daily to their various occupations, which consist principally of husbandry. These islands lie about 30 miles to the west of the Laud's End, and to which a steamer runs three times weekly with the mail and passengers. There are a great many Druidical remains, and a Danish fortification stands prominently on St. Marv's, the chief island. It was there that Charles 11. took refuge after his defeat, and escaped to France. There are about fifty sail of vessels belonging to the port, most of which have been built there, the largest of which, the John Banfield, a vessel of nearly 600 tons register, was recently launched. On the completion of the submarine telegraph these islands will undoubtedly be much used by vessels arriving in the Channel for orders. As a port of call, with easterly winds. they may be reached some days sooner than Falmouth—a fact of considerable importance both to.the shipowner and merchant. Their position, too, is much easier of access than Queenstown. These islands form an archipelago, which is used to some extent as a harbour of refuge, every roadstead being well protected by islands. By a slight extension of one of the piers, which by convict labour might be accomplished at a very trifling cost, an excellent breakwater could be created, and thus afford additional security for vessels. Plenty of good fresh water and provisions of all kinds can always be obtained, also good supplies of steam coal, with every facility for repairs of ships, &c. Thal islands only require to be more known to be more visited and more appreciated.

With th e excep tion of one shower, no rain has fallen. The " heavens were as bras:6 r ' Arne all that time, and con sequently our forests became t i e s udy prey to the devouring element—fire. During the ra?, two weeks i many hundred thousand acres of forest land in' Ititish America; were burnt down. In New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and pp, Breton the scenes were terrific. In many places tracts c . ? llairtiful timber land, extending some ten, fifteen, or twenty sires, have been burnt down, and nothing remains but blacrizei:c`d ,stamps and layers of ashes. So dreadful was the conifagieria for some days in Nova Scotia, that the air was lurid Wit:h'fle, blaze. The sun peered through the mist or smoke, r6d eqis tire on which it looked down. Volumes of smoke and ashes were carried far out to sea, and the whole face of nature appeared changed. The ashes raised by the wind, and carried along, fell again at great distances, so much so that, in the city of Halifax, distant some twenty miles from the nearest fire, ashes fell like a shower of snow, and parties walked out and carried uml r:llas to protect themselves from the dust and ashes that floated on the air. The destruction to forest land is enormous hut lam glad to have to state that as yet we have no accounts from any quarter of loss of life. In the interior of Nova Scotia, especially in the great forest lands between Truro and Pictou, the fig raged fearfully. For miles it was one long; rolling, and terrific wale of livibg fire. It crossed over streams and portions of cultivated fieldi, licking up not only every monarch of the forest and tatled brushwood, but also every green thing, leaving utter desolation behind. On some of the lakes, the spring haunt of migrating ducks and other birds, the scene is melancholy to behold. After being frightened by the surrounding fires, and by the cracking of the burnt timber, the poor birds took to flight, but there was nothing before them but an ocean of fire. Finding no resting place they again returned to the lakes, but with burnt wings, and so disabled that they are lying almost motionless on the water. From every quarter we have accounts of the ravages of fires in the woods, and of the destruction of dwellings, barns, and outhouses; but as yet no life has been lost. The people had a timely warning of the coming disaster. We have now a change of weather — rain is falling, and the fires in the woods will cease." A WALK iN A BYE-STREET OF FLORENCE. Amongst the distinguishing features of the age we live in there is not, probably, one which will leave such memorable results behind it as the energy which Englishmen have shown iu the prosecution of new and strange careers—the indomitable courage and perse verance they have displayed in circumstances perfectly novel. India presents an immense number of such instances, where men were called on for the exhibi tion of qualities which, in their ordinary life, had never been developed. Our colonies, especially Aus tralia, are full of such examples; and it is really in no vaingloriousness that we can say that the Anglo-Salon race lends itself more readily to the spirit of the time and the demands of emergency than any other of which history tells us. We have but to turn over the files of a news paper to adduce examples. One of the ablest, if not the very abfest i of our Indian generals at this moment, passed years of his life in the half-inglorious indolence of a secretary of embassy, idniarkahle for little beyond the facility with which he indulged that indolence. The event, however, called for the man, and we have seen how he answered the call. It was following out in reverse the train of thought thus suggested I found my self, a few days back, in a lonely and almost deserted street of Florence. A high wall at one side, over which some trees showed their foliage, was answered at the other by a large, irregular, old building, whose jealous-looking windows betrayed the convent. Looking somewhat closer, however, I perceived that the place was no longer tenanted by the devout, but was in reality an artist's studio—the name C-- F— on the door modestly announcing the proprietor. " C---F-- muttered Ito myself ; strange acci dent of name. It was only a few years ago I knew one who bore it—the most flattered and eagerly sought, the handsome aide-de-camp, the best looking and most accomplished fellow of a crack cavalry regiment, one of those men who carry with them into life the cachet of gentleman so distinctively, whose breeding is so eminently true and real that even the scandalmongers of society are fain to let him pass unmolested, and suffer his claim to notice and distinction to be preferred without objecting. Some reverses of fortune, I know not . exactly how caused, had compelled him to leave the army; but, with influential connections, and the popularity of his name, I had little doubt of his obtaining some public employment—in fact, such a man, highly gifted and accomplished as he was, could not fail of receiving his just recognition. I had asked three , or four who knew him, and all I could learn was he had been at Constantinople at such a time; so and so bad met him at such an embassy at dinner, and he had bean shooting with somebody else at such a place; when suddenly the same name on the doorpost of the convent brought up the man to my mind. Curious to see him who bore the designation—amusing myself with the idea of how unlike would be the swell cavalry officer with the pale cheeked artist—l rang the bell, and asked permission to see the studio. The artist, I was informed, was from home, but I could see the studio. In the vast chamber, which had once been the chapel of the convent, and which was now arranged with the most consummate taste, I saw a number of busts, many of which—seen at a glance—l could recognise. Mario and Grisi, a distin guished Welsh baronet, and a well-known Irish beauty. From these, however, I turned to examine the greater and more pretentious work to which my attention was now called. One called the Cast-away represented a young sailor, storm-tossed on a raft, at a moment when a strange sail has come in sight and answered his signal. The form of strength and symmetry wasted by privation and suffering, but not painfully emaciated—the terrible eagerness of the face, as with a last effort he seems to cry for aid—the strength which, in the very act, appears to fail him—were all depicted with consummate power. There was all the narrative power of a late great writer, with the life-like traits which mere description never reaches ; and, greater than these, there was the great work of art, the graceful delineation of form, the most accurate study of .the human anatomy, and the truest adherence to all the principles of art. Beside this—but as yet only existing in the state of model—was one of the most beautiful conceptions I have ever seen. It was the undraped figure of a girl sleeping ; the expression of the features, slightly moved by some passing dream, but still relaxed in sleep, har monised beautifully with the repose of the attitude, and as if to contrast with whose peaceful loveliness a proud eagle, with arched neck and piercing eye, stands cower ing at her feet, seizing as his prey her slipper, for it is the fable of Rhodope, the Cinderella of the Eastern story, which is here told. To represent the utmost amount of beauty, the most consummate perfection of form in all the voluptuous abandonment of sleep, and yet retain throughout the purest sentiment of the ideal, is the triumph of this work. The whole conception is chke as the spotless marble that reveals it. I have but space to mention one other work—a half-finished model of Lady Godiva. She is of course ' undraped, but the masses of her flowing hair fall in wavy sheets over her, as with bent-down head and modest mien she moves slowly on. The figure is a charming one ; it is womanly grace in all its highest per fection. But probably the critical eye will be equally struck by the horse, which shows how thoroughly the artist must have studied that animal's proportions. The pace is a slow one, and consequently more difficult to render; but every muscle is portrayed, and every articulation delineated with so truthful a nicety that I only know of one instance to compete with it—Ranch's admirable equestrian statue of Frederick the Great. Disappoints at not meeting the artist himself—for I ownpthat my visit had been prompted by the curiosity I have mentioned—l asked some' questions about him. He was Very young—an Englishman," my informant proudly said, lot •ttomo bollissimo, who could do every thing; he rode, drew, sang, and spoke foreign lan guages. " Had ho ever served in the British army," I asked ? "Yes; here was his portrait," and he pointed to a water-colour sketch, and the sculptor stood re vealed in the handsome officer of the Lancers!—=From an Occasional Correspondent of the Horning Post.

" FLerriNc DAY" IN GLASGOW. -- lionday being the annual occasion for householders to change their dwell ings, the streets presented the usual bustle from the "wee short hour ayout the t - wal" till the day had pretty far advanced. Judging from the number of carts and barrows laden with furniture, not to speak of the numerous pedestrians bearing chairs, tables, and other household gear, that traversed the various streets and lanes of the town, a large number of the citizens seem to have changed their domiciles this year. North British Daily OLD NILID6.—Many of the satirical aspersions cast upon old maids tell more to their credit than is gene rally imagined. Is a woman remarkably neat in her person , " she will certainly die an old maid." Is she frugal in her expenses, and exact in her domestic con cerns, "she is cut out for an old maid." And if she is kind and humane to the animals about her, nothing can save her from the appellation of " old maid." In short, we have always found that neatness, modesty, economy, and humanity are the never-failing characteristics of an " old maid." A telescope of extraordinary power is at present in course of erection at the Paris Observatory. It is said to have a magnifying power of twenty thousand.

Amongst the subscribers we observe the Bishop of Winchester £25, the Bishop of Lichfield £lO, and the Earl of Shaftesbury £5. The principal cut in a recent number of 11 Fischietto (the Punch of Turin) represents the Bing of Naples with a very bad leg—" Sicily ;" he has called in the doctors, whe are the four principal Powers that signed the treaty of 1815. Bomba makes a rueful face, and exclaims, •' Well, I know the leg must be amputated, but I trust the body may he saved ;" at which a learned doctor, with ft tremendous shirt frill—Lord John Russell, one of the foury—shakes his head and remarks, " Impossible' the malady is too deeply seated, and pervades the whole frame." SHIPWRECK AND Loss or Lim—A despatch dated Winterten (Norfolk), Tuesday morning, says :---4t The .X9lus, of North Shields, coal-laden, and bound for London, was totally wrecked yesterday during a terrific gale of wind. She sprang a leak, and ran for the beach about two miles to the north of this village, and became a total wreck in less than half-an-hour from the time she struck the beach. Two of the crew (the master and cook) were saved by catching pieces of wreck ; but the remainder, five in number, perished. The whole of the men were on the mainmast when it fell over the side. Many other vessels have been dismasted, and no doubt much damage has been done, of which at present nothing is known. The gale was terrific, hardly less violent at one time than that of February last." EXTRAORDINARY DEATH IN THE SERPENTINE.— Mr, 'Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, held a length ened inquiry at the workhouse, St. George's, Ha nover . square, on Saturday, as to the cause of the death of Edward Reynolds, 42 years of age. It appeared from the evidence that on the previous Saturday night the deemed, after the time allotted to bathers, was found by Police-constable 522 A stripped to his shirt, prepara tory to bathing in the Serpentine, and was informed by him that, as the hour appointed for bathing had elapsed, he forbade his doing so. The deceased, however, pe r . sisting in his original intention, the constable seized him by the shirt, which the unfortunate man, after a brief struggle, slipped over his head, plunged into the water, arid was seen no more, although he was repre ssnted to be an expert swimmer by several witnesses. Search was at once institatei for the body, and con tinued daily until last Friday, when it was found float ing in the middle of the Serpentine. ssporting izttitigenct. MANCHESTER RA CE S.-YESTERDAY.

New INTENTION.—TPIE New FOUNTAIN res.---A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with ---the difficulty is to get a good one. Amongintro st the duced b recent improve ments I l ls . ne w fountain pen," just y Itudhall and Co. is the best we have e v er seen. B y a sim p le b ut effcc_ tire contrivance the ink is retained in . a fountain, by means of a second inverted ba r r e l above the writing nib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept Per 4 4 ectly cleat without any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one clip in the ink will last for five minutes' q nick writing. The pen unit is of the finest description, and in merchants offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be found to fill a want felt by every one up to thi s ti me. we have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. 'f. hall. South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour. OiNrseNt.—l3lotches, pimples, dry eruntions, and all irritations of skin, soon pass away before the Ration of this extraordinary Ointment, which produces its effects with a r ipidity and certainty never experienced in the case of any other medicine in the world. Many of the ordinary eruptions are caused by suppressed perspiration, and as this penetrating unguent at once opens the pores and invigorates the absorbents, it disperses the inflammation by a double process. Any lady who is disfigured by cutaneous diseases may quickly remove the blemishes and restore the skin to its natural state. It requires no skill to use it right, and all that is required is that it should be well rubbed into the parts affeCted. • SAPLING STAKES. PHILLIP'S PLATE. UNION cur. Thirteen ran. FRODIJCE STAKES.
