The convict, Giles Hutchings, who reaped from fit

captoced. and WWI his departure nothing has been men
orbeard of him. His escape was very cleverly effected
as there were several armed warders in charge of the mg

barrow containing bricks at Chatham Dockyard Extension
Works, taking his turn with the other convicts. He had
wheeled several barrows in this manner, but when Home
to his turn again he was miming. An alarm was at once

more trouble than any other convict at the prison, and
attempted to elude tho vigilance of his keepers on &tor.
day, but was detected. Armed warders are still searching
the district for him. Etime think that as he has not been
seen he might have lost his life in attempting to
swim the Medway: but,the general belief is he still in
hiding, as the district is a woody one, waiting an oppx•
unity to get clear away.

SHAMEFUL TREATMENT OF CHILDREN.
At Glargow Circuit Court, Bernard Murphy has
been sentenced to five years' penal servitude for
unnatural treatment of his deaf liter, who died in
January last. The evidence dischwed disgraceful
oircwastances connected with the case. The neigh-
bours told bow the girl went about almost naked in the
midst of winter -her only clothing being •
petticoat—begging bread. When examined after=
the lower of the body were found 006 1/10611 of
discolo n, the cuts and bruises inflicted by her
father being, according to medical withers, too
numerous to particularise. This left eye was black
the mark of • recent blow, and the medical witnesses
stated the girl was an actual skeleton, and that how-
ever much a patient might be emaciated by eonsamp-
tion, it could never reduce one to such an extent as
this poor girl was brought to.
At Greenock, • woman hes been sent to prison for
sixty days for assaulting her child, an infant only two
years and seven months old. She bad beaten it with
a strap till it was covered with bruises, and had been
known to keep it for hours seated in a tub of cold

of the grew BS party. It is also anticipated
that the resispeittion of Lords Derby and Carnar-
aae willosmaderably reduce the Ministerial
mieeity, and it is argued that such reduction
would render it unjustifiable for Government to
take itlspl without consulting the country. As
this is the fifth session of the present Parliament,
thie step is deemed not unlikely.
The gossips have been busy finding a husband
for Princess Beatrice. They have named the
Crown Prince of Austria. though the fact that
he is a Roman Catholic, and that the future
Empress of Austria must also be a Roman
Catholic, is sufficient to render that marriage
impossible. The Prince of Orange also has been
named, though he was previously mentioned for
Princess Alice and Princess Louise, and though
his manner of life is such that it is certain the
Queen would never entrust her daughter's
happiness to him. The statement made in one
of the society journals that the Duke Connaught
is to marry a daughter of Prince Frederick
Charles has not been confirmed, and as the
Duke has not been to Germany lately there
seems no reason to suppose that he has any
intentions in that quarter. Princess Louise s
husband is getting decidedly stout. He
continues to manifest his liking for tall men by
walking into the House of Commons with the
lofty, and portly, and Conservative Mr.
Malcolm.

Hanks. on Monday evening, the nit instant, on behalf
of the Temperance Soddy, when some goad lectures were
given by MY. Thome& of Dorchester, and Mr. Watts. of
Cerne, who amid he had tried it for the last twelve years,
and was quits sure people could work without drank.
The Rev. Mr. Mmii, of Maiden Newton, spoke of the good
of the associatioo, and would do anything to help them,
for he quite believed it to be a good work as regards the
rising generation. He was sorry to see the meeting so
thinly attended, —for not ore temperance person attended
to support it. Thirteen boys came forward and signed
their names in behalf of the Band of Hope.

PLACE OR Wilt.
To the Editor.

Well, what do you th'.nk alit now, shall se be droned
in? or the more familiar. '' Whore be we tor meets one
now at every turn. The MCMII we read our favourite
journal, and the more we scan the columns of those whose
views we so much object to, the more difficult appears to
become We &weer to the over-shadowing question—Pesos
or War? Unhesitatingly letme cart in my voice for Pears
at We outset we resolved to allow toe belligerents to fight
out their quarrel to the bitter end, the aggressor willingly
undertakiag to respect those points laid down as of
tutored to us, and which undertaking has so for been
honourably fulfilled. Nothing has occurred to justify our
deperturs from the course we then calmly end coolly laid
out for ostreelves. That the conqueror will desire to iiirn
the treaty of peace in the capital of the cooqmered is
able. but but here is surely no such factor of Importance as to
justify our plunging into • terrible and bloody war. Surely
the glorious reputation we have built up needs no
bolstering: bombastic Mliddl ing 111 unworthy our Position
ao • great nstion. In the final settlement Europe will
know how to make its voice heard, and England's
intrreota will be respected. Let us not then be lad away
, by feelings of sympathy for the valvinisbed, or of indigna-
tion towards the victors. Patiently and calmly, secure in
our own strength, let us wait the course of events,
resolved not lightly to be drawn into war, whilst should it
be forced upon ten which God forbid, it should be min to
seleit time, piece, and fitting allies.
