How he was rescued, Mr. Birch -can scarcely recollect. --Birmingham Journal.

On application to this Mr. Warner, it was found that a person, answering' he description of deceased, had been his clerk, and had lately left his situation without any apparent cause, except Mr. Warner considered that he was of unsound mind.

SEVER PEOPLE DROWNEP.—The fog on Monday last week at Simurbridge was the occasion of several fatal accidents. "Two young women, sisters, on their way home from work, missed the Wordsley dock, and walked into the water. Both were got out of the water, but not until one :of them was past recovery, awl the other appears to be in .a somewhat precarious state. Two young women, sisters-in,law, named Reece, with a young man named Alfred Hampshire, who was courting Miss Reece,_ were present when they were brought to their house; and Miss Reece having observed to Hampshire that they had better go to look for her father, who would be by the canal side, they started together, and it:appears soon met the father, with a lighted candle sheltered between his hands. The fattier joined the party, and almost immediately afterwards the whole leer walked into the water together. All were brought to land, but not before life was extinct in both the females. A young man, named Joseph Ridley, married and having one child, was also drowned in the same neighbourhood ; also a bay -called Mail, and an Irishman, a name unkneivn. A boy who had been bedding up a horse on the Stotuinidge .can al side, in endeavouring - tO - find his way home, walked into the canal and was drowned.: POSTAL AIaO3IALIES.—The postage on a letter exceeding an ounce in weight by the smallest scruple, transmitted to India rid Marseilles, is 7s.

This is probably the most expensive route in the world, still it is not the weight or bulk of the mails conveyed in this direction that makes this exorbitant charge for letter postage necessary—for a ka - rseilles - for 3d. or for only per ounce. Thus manuscript mail matter is charged at the rate of 812,000 per ton in this direction, printed matter pays only at the rate of £l5O per ton.

' It is stated that this new establishment will afford employment for pearly 300 men. These works are to supersede those now in operation in Mersey View-street, which hare been found far too small for the growing re quirements of the iron tra4e. The nature of the work to be earrie on at t new buil, rig is somewhal to that in Sefton-street. At this bi•anch of the company's works all the hea-ry portions of machinery are produced, such as shafting for large marine engines. It was wt this place the immense swivel-gun was manufactured for the American frigate Princetowa, in lieu of the one irhich burst. Some idea of the extent of the business done at this establislunent may be gathered from the fact *at eight large engines are day and aught (with the exception of Sunday) continually at work. The new works wilDbe principally set apart for rolling iron •, the process being ,simply to form a solid lump of iron from scraps whidli have been thrown into a small furnace, and which, after .aving been worked up, is illaesl forged into any required breadtl n rollers, and so This is an improvement upon the old mei The works are the property of the Messrs thers to the member for Liverpool.

Mr. Alfred Hughes, of Manchester, in the employ of Messrs. Faulkner and Co., stated that the cherries were received in Grimsby on the Ist of August, by steamer from Hamburg, and that they left by the regalar fruit train. They were received in Manchester the -same day, and left there by the night train in due course. Ife thought, therefore, that, if there were any delay, the Landon and North-western Company were liable for it.—His Honour said : No such thing. It bad been decided, over and over again, that the first parties entrusted with anything were liable for its safe delivery, It was quite clear, undoubted law, and good reason. If any man, or set of men, undertook to deliver goods, they were responsible for the safe delivery of such goods. There was no contract shown with the London and North western Railway ; the contract was with the defendants. Ultimately the case was adjourned till the oth of Decem ber, in order that it might be ascertained where the delays actually occurred..

The parliamentary train from Leeds, consisting of an engine and tender, three passenger carriages, and breakvan, which is due at Knot tingley at 20 minutes past 8, a.m., arrived there at about the proper time, and the passenger carriages having been attached to others from York, the united train was pro ceeding on its way to Doncaster, when, in crossing the junction with the up line to Goole, about 200 or 300 yards from the station, a goods train from that town, which ;mired at the point of intersection at the same moment, dashed through the passenger train, cutting it in two about the middle, and knocking off the body of a third class carriage, containing about 20 passengers. The vehicle rolled over on its side, amid a terrible screaming from the persons in it, while the wheels and under part of the vehicle remained standing on the line. The accident happening so near the station, effective assistance was promptly rendered, and the passengers, who were tumbling over one another in a state of great consternation, were speedily extricated without any more serious wounds than superficial bruises, with the exception of one man, who complained of internal injuries from having been severely crushed under the great bulk of the other passengers. The goods engine sustained scarcely any damage, owing, no doubt, to the body of the carriage with which it came in contact separating so easily from it supporters. The driver and stoker of the goods engine received no injury, although they remained on the engine ; indeed, they had no alternative, for the dense fog prevailing at the time prevented them from seeing the passenger train until they had run into it, and the signals were totally invisible. • BURIAL GROUND FOR TONTETD-PARK.-011 Thursday a special meeting of the rate-payers of Toxteth-park was held in the board-room at the Public-offices, Park-road. The meeting was called by the overseers, in accordance with a requisition, signed by fourteen rate-payers, for the purpose of determining whether a burial ground should be provided for Toxteth-park. under the provisions of the acts 15 and 16 Vic., c. 83, and 16 and 17 Vic., c. 134, and in order that if, at the meeting, it should be determined to provide such burial ground, the vestry might take the steps by law required for carrying that determination into effect. The chair was occupied by Mr. Conncillor Greg son. One of the requisitionists, Mr. Harrison, moved that a burial ground should be provided for the extra-parochial place of Toxteth-park, under the acts 15 and 16 Vic., and 16 and 17 Vic. Mr. Alpas seconded the motion, which, after a long discussion, was carried unanimously. Mr. Alpas then moved that the following be appointed the burial board for the township, namely, Messrs. Gregson, J. Harrison, James Robertson, William Fisher, G. Harri son, J. D. Carter, Thomas Smith, R. Miller, and H. S. Alpas. Mr. Halhead seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Harrison next moved, " That the burial board be, and are hereby authorised to expend any sum not exceeding £15,000 for purchasing and laying out the burial ground, and for building the neces sary church or chapel thereon." He stated that land had been offered for the purpose in several situations, and lie trusted that the board would be able to negociate such a purchase as would meet the satisfaction of the rate-payers. Mr. M`Nicol seconded the motion, which was also unani mously agreed to. The next business was to appoint a day when the three first members of the board should retire from office; and, on the motion of Mr. Halhead, seconded by Mr. Alpas, the first Thursday in May was the day fixed upon.

A CONFERENCE on the .subject of " The legislative amendments imperatively called for in the national treat ment of morally destitute and criminal children," has been convened at Birmingham, by Lords. Calthorpe, Lyttelton, Denbigh, Leigh, and Harrowby, Mr.. Gladstone. Sir John Pskington, Mr. Adderley, Mr. M. D. Hill, Mr. Muntz, Stir. M. Milnes, Sir Robert Peel, the Lord Mayor, the Mayor of Birmingham, and a long list of influential per .sons. The conference is to take place on the 20th December. Da. Wxsnmea.—lt is said that Dr. Wiseman is still at Rome, whither he went from Paris after attending at the translation of the relics of, St. Theodosia„ at Amiens, and that It is considered more than probable that he will not return again to England. His health is stated to have suffered considerably from the severity of his labours in England since the establishment of the Papal hierarchy ; and a growing opinion is, we understand, prevalent in .eircles, that the Pope will employ him in some high diplomatic post at Rome, in - stead of sending him back to superintend the of of the Ronianists in England.— Morning Herald. VALUE OF A HUSBAICD.—On Thursday week, a coach trimmer, named M`Gregor, was fined in the sum of ss, at the Gorbals police-court, for having instigated two dogs to fight, and, the fine not being forthcoming, he Was locked up. . A short time afterwards his wife called to know if she could get the dog, which had been taken to the office along with her husband. The officer on duty suggested that she had better pay the fine, and so release her hus band and dog together, " Husband !" she exclaimed ; "I would give 5(. for my dog, but I would not give sd. for him." And she was true to her word, for she came back with ss. to claim her much-respected cur—her husband at the same time getting out on the strength of the woman's regard for the beast.—Glasgow Herald. TRESII AIR Ix BA.RRA '' CKS.—The physician to the King of Sweden shows that the enormous mortality of the garrisoned troops in the chief European armies, that of England included, is largely owing to the small quantity of fresh air allowed them, especially by night. The ventilation system recommended by the author is that of M. Ton Diwoir. The quantity of pure air required by each soldier he estimates at forty-eight cubic metres, which no European army even approaches. The European soldiery are the flower of their youth, but in France 19 in 1,000 of these men die annually, while of the male population there is only a mortality (between 20 and 30 years of age) of 10 per 1,000. In England the mortality in the Footguards, from- consumption, is 14,1 per 1,000, which is three times the average of the general population. - THE LAW OF EVIDENCE. The district court of Schaffhausen, in Switzerland, has lately furnished a useful precedent in the law of evidence. A , citizen of Schaff hausen was accused of having boxed the ears of another citizen. There were no witnesses to the act, for at the time of the alleged offence the parties were alone in the coffee-room of an hotel. But the landlord and the waiters who were in a room near to the scene of action, swore that they heard the blow. The defendant, of course, pleaded Not guilty," and that if even the offence had been committed, the witnesses could not have heard the blow. In order to elucidate this very nice point, the court adjourned to the scene of. the alleged offence. S Places of the witnesses in the were locked up in the coffee-room,, m were duly boxed by the other. case ande Several ahl twoe members ears oof of the o judgesn t e o ookf them the he It was clearly established that the blow could be heardin the adjoining room, and that the plaintiffs witnesses ivere correct in their statements. Sentence accordingly. WONDERFUL IMPROVEXENTS IN THE ELECTRIC TELE GRAPH.—WonderfuI as the electric telegraph in its present form is allowed to be, it is on the point of being superseded by still more marvellous improvements. These improvements are the discoveries of Mr. John Walter Wilkins, of Hampstead, electric telegraph engineer, the patentee. • It will form one of the peculiar and striking characteristics of the new system that the message will be written by the telegraph instrument itself. By a con trivance of surpassing ingenuity the transmission of the message will be simultaneous to any number of radiating stations without the aid of intermediate operators, only one operator being required at each telegraph. This invention is calculated to insure the most perfect and unerring ac curacy by the ab sence of quivering points and needles, and and by abstaining from the use of chemical pre parations, always liable to mislead and very often to fail. The arrangement of the apparatus is managed in such a manner as to give motion to a marker or tracer, and thereby impress, mark, or otherwise render visible, in a continuous line on paper, characters representing letters, words, and figures on the recording surface, which is kept constantly moving by means of clockwork, or other suita ble machinery, whilst the characters are being marked upon it in such a manner that they may be distinctly and easily read. There will be only one telegraph wire used, and the message sent will be written at the place from which it is despatched, as well as at that to which it is transmitted, time enabling the sender to verify his message as it IS written. for upwards of tiwo hours. Mr. Morrison then rose to leave, and lifted his gunfrom the kitchen bed, where he had placed it to entering, saying that be was - going to have a shot at the rabbits. Mrs. Pettigrew, the landlady, called to him to take care, asking if the piece was loaded. He replied that it was, but there was no danger, as she might pull the trigger and it would not go off, adding that it was only on half cock. He then held out the b u tt _ _ end to Liddell, wto was standing near, telling Jahn to try it. Liddell put forward his hand, and in doing so he must have touched thetrigger, which, most unfortunately, was instantly disch*.rged. The gun, a double-barrelled 'one, was loaded with N0..5 shot. The whole charge en- laid he neither spoke nor moved after he fell. A careful lacestigation took place by the proper authorities. No thing, however, was found to implicate Liddell. That tha oecairence was entirely accidental there is no doubt ; but the fool-hardiness of a man touching the trigger of a loaded gun, pointed at the breast of another, cannot be too strongly reprobated. Mr. Morrison was abut 42 years of age. He has left a widow and a young family. lt is somewhat singular that he was in Ayr the Tuesday pre vious, and got his will drawn up and completed in due form, rlttie'thinkim, , _ that the veil- next day A he in eternity, —Ayr Observer A BRur®L MURDER was perpetrated in Norfolk, on Friday week : the victim is Lorenzo Bella, a jeweller of Nor wich, who travelled the neighbourhood with trinkets. As a a neighbouring village, he observed blood in the road, which he traced through the hedge to a ditch on the common, where be found the murdered man. The head had been nearly severed from his body by a blow across the back of the neck, and there were four deeply-cut wounds on his temples and face. By the side of the murdered man lay 3, woodman's hatchet, covered with blood and hair. His trousers' pockets were turned inside out, and rifled, but in his waistcoat pocket was a watch, still going. Shortly afterwards a man named William Webster went to the parish constables, and stated that as he was driving along in his cart in the afternoon he observed a man in the plantation near which the body was found, who stooped down and hid himself as he approached. This man, he said, was William Thompson, a labourer employed in felling timber. Proceeding to Thompson's house, the constables found him in bed ; and upon his bed, not at all secreted, was a pair of trousers, the legs of which were soaked with blood ; and in another room were a pair of highlows, in the lace-holes of which blood was also observable. The prisoner was brought before the county magistrates on Saturday, when 'William Webster identified him as the man he had seen in the plantation; and two other men deposed to having met him coming in great haste from the spot where the body was found, on the afternoon of the murder. He had been flush of money, paying several bills, and according to one woman took the money from a purse like that of Bella's. He is only eighteen years of age, and his appearance is described as superior to that which is generally charac teristic of his class. The prisoner's house was again searched, and behind some old boots in an oven a watch was found, with name "L. Befits," as maker on it. Another watch was found in the chimney, and another in the, water-closet; in the house were also found two bunches of keys. When the officer opened the oven, con taining the first watch, the prisoner's father said, " Oh, that has been searched before." His family are said to be by no means of a general good character. He has since been committed for trial at the assizes. STAMP RECEIPTS. The Commissioners of Inland Revenue, in answer to the many questions which have been made to them relating to the new stamp duties, have authorised the publication of a popular explanation of the recent statue. It appears from this that the stamping of a receipt for any sum above 40s. is not an optional matter, between payer and receiver, but that if any receipt at all is given, it must be stamped, under a penalty of £lO. Entries made by persons receiving money in pass-books, kept by the person paying the money—memorandums of money paid on sale by auction, payment of wages, or any other transaction—discharges and acknowledgments of payment made by bills, notes, drafts, or other securities — the writing " paid," " balanced," " discharged," " settled," or such like, on a bill of parcels or invoice — are to be reckoned as the giving of receipts, and as suc h , if relating to sums exceeding 405.; are liable to stamp duty. The chief exemptions from the duty are—receipts written upon promissory notes, bills of exchange, or drafts, or orders for the payment of money, already duly stamped; receipts written upon bills of exchange (unstanmed) drawn out of, but payable in, the United Kingdom ; letters by post, acknowledging the safe arrival of bank-notes, bank post bills, bills of exchange, cheques, letters of credit, post-office orders, or other promissory notes, or securities for money, provided the receipt of money itself be not acknowledged, or any intimation be conve y e d relative to the appropriation of the money represented by these securities; receipts for land-tax, property and income taxes, and assessed taxes, and bankers' deposit notes, or accountable receipts. To make a cheque to a banker, payable to tearer on demand, not liable to stamp duty, it must be issued within fifteen miles of the place where the banker carries on his business ; must be dated on or before, and not after, the day on which it is issued, and must not direct payment to be made by a bill or note. Persons residing beyond the distance of 15 miles from their banker, ought, therefore, at all times to be provided with stamps, since any infraction of the part of the law just mentioned, subjects the issuer of the un stamped cheque, and the banker who, carrying on business at a greater distance than fifteen miles, knowingly pays to a penalty of £lOO each ; and the person knowinglyreceivlng it in payment to a penalty of £2O. nearly 1,000 miles the charge on a letter weighing half an ounce is Id.

This favourite of fortune wore a dark-coloured moustache, his long locks were of hair elegantly curled, and he was attired in the gorgeous robes of an eastern sovereign. His eyes were large, brief brilliant, and these accidentally catching the ,fonished gaze of the young lady, she experienced " a first shock." She went to the circus, and at length the arm and elbow of a fiddler attracted her attention, and behind his " fine toned Cremona" she beheld " the eyes" she had been looking for. An interview took place, and afterwards a few letters passed between the enamoured pair, and thus matters rested until last week, when the young lady, with the permission of her mother, visited some of her relations at 'farm, and the next day set off with a pa. - k Rich mond races. Not returning, her Yarm relations grew alarmed, and a "hue and cry" resounded through hill and dale. On Friday last, however, a letter was received from the missing fair one, of which the following is a copy :—" My dear mother,—Forgive your favourite daugh ter, the dear man, whose eyes threw the light of love into my benighted heart, was - sojourning at Briehton.

A LONDON• FOG.—On Tuesday night, one of the most dense fogs ever witnessed completely enveloped the whole of London and suburban districts, causing a stagnation to the general traffic throughout the thoroughfares. At one time the great lines of route leading to the South-western, the Great Northern, the North-western, the Eastern Counties ; and. Great Western railways were blocked up by a vast number of vehicles conveying passengers and goods to the various railways. The different, omnibuses on the several lines Were for some time obliged to be preceded by men carrying lighted links, but at length the vehicles were obliged to stop altogether, and by that means the greatest confusion was created, so that it was a work of no little danger for a pedestrian to cross any' of the roads. At daybreak on Wednesday morning the fog still con tinued to hang over the metropolis, and it became denser as the hours advanced, until by one o'clock the whole of London was enveloped in, such a cloud of darkness that traffic on the. railways and the Thames was almost at a standstill, and business in the different 'shops and else where could only be carried on by the aid of gas light. About seven o'clock in the evening a female was run over by a heavily laden van, and she died on her way to the hos pital. On Wednesday morning two frightful cases occurred, which were taken to St. ThOmas's Hospital. The greatest confusion prevailed among the shipping below bridge, particularly in the upper and lower ,pools, and in Green wich and Blackwall reaches. Several of the largefoierewi?, Scotch, and Irish steam-vessels, unwilling to t c l olli ns ersl of passing through the pools (overcrowded up at Blackwall, to their customary moorings, brought ”rs and cattle. The river where they landed their passene few left Blackwall for places down the alto gether, and very steam-boats above Blackwell discontinuedrunning river, the great ni o 3 bs , hcamt.Luofs. A largetheatos timber-ladenphererenderingshithpe, passage extremely i n backing and filling up to the Commercial docks, got athwart hawse of a tier of smaller vessels, and caused them to drag their anchors, carrying away their jibbooms and two topgallantmasts, and in order to get clear the rigging had to be cut away. A la rge s t eamer came into collision with a schooner between Blackwall and Woolwich, when the latter lost jibboom and foretopmast, and sustained serious damage to head and bulwarks. The injury sus tained by shipping in spars, rigging, and topsides, between Blackwall and London-bridge, must have been very great. BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. Extract of letter written by John Molard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, having been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout, for publication:—" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphati tally tell you; in mercy to any friend who may suffer from gout, rhuematic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy; not only am I personally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account.

The Golden s thus run stem on to the new sea wall - at Sea combe ; but the collision being foreseen, the accident was not so serious as might have been expected. Beyond the starting of the cutwater, and the abrasure of some of the planks, the vessel sustained no injury, and she was imme diately taken to the moorings in the Sloyne, where she now lies. The detention consequent upon this untoward areident is not expected to occupy above two days. None of the passengers or crew, of the Golden Age sustained any injuries. Mr. Thompson. of the firm of Millers and Thompson, the brokers of the vessel, and one of the were on board at the time.

He was accompanied by his court and the Cardinal Vicar, and took the text from Matthew xiii., and dwelt forcibly upon the verse, "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way." Without making any direct political allusions, he evidently hinted at the pa r t y dissensions represented in his mind by the tares, and the ceaseless insidiousness with which they were sown by the inimicus homo, representing, no doubt, republicanism ; but the main tendency of his discourse was merely m ora l, and was delivered with ext reme ene rgy of diction and abundance of oratorical gesticulation. Altogether, his Holiness took a very gloomy view of the morals of his sub4ects, and told them he re g rett ed that they had made biec o o f f u t t l e ie locality, costum es , so little progress in spiritual reformation s i nce he had last s ix years ago.
