ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCII9.

A ease of stabbing uncured in London on Wednesday
which wee expected to terminate fatally. The circam-
stanoes connected with it are painful in the extreme.
The victim is a young married man, who unknown to
his wife, had for some time past cohabited with a
woman. While walking on Wednesday morning, about
3 o'clock, with his paramour' he passed • erowl of
women of the town and spoke to them. He if ilked on
for • few yards, and was in the act of entering the front
door of his lodging when he exclaimed, "Oh God, I am
stabbed!" and fell to the ground. He had received •
deep lacerated wound in the chest, passing between
the fourth and fith ribs. He was taken to the London
Hospital, and when his wife visited him a painful scene
took place between them. Their family connections are
said to be highly respectable, and the usjured man was
being edueated for a naval officer:.

SIMMS AOCIDZIfT.--SZVILN Mns DRAWN OVER A
PULLI y,—On Monday afternoon, between four and five
o'clock, a serious accident happened, whereby seven men
experienced • narrow escape of an instantaneous and
shocking death, and by which as many more have
sustained serious hurts, and an eighth man injuries that
it is feared will prove fatal. Al the time mentioned
seven of the men referred to were ascending the shaft
of Mr. Racketed pit, at Tividale, in the customary skip,
when John Lloyd, the doggy, who was on bank at the
time perceiving that the engine was working faster than
was compatible with safety, and being further alarmed
by observing that the engineer was not at his poet,
thrust the " wagon, " or moveable platform, over the
pit's mouth. He had scarcely done so before the skip
was drawn over the pulley, and all the seven men were
thrown out, and more or lees seriously injured. The
poor fellow Lloyd himself, immediately that he bad
performed the act which saved at least half of them
from certain death, sustained very severe injuries
himself, for some of the men, and probably portions of
the skip and the massive iron weights attached to it, fell
upon him, crushing hls side, cutting his head and fate,
and rendering him Insensible. And it is a further
painful fact that Lleyd's son-in-law, who was one of the
company of the skip, is the one whose life is despaired
of. The Itanies of the seven men are Issas Ball, Andrew
Bond. James Hooper, Solomon Beddow, David Gases,
Samuel Price, and John Evans. The first-named is the
man who is now lying without reasonable expectation of
recovery. He is twenty-six years of age, is about the
youngest of the party, and like the rest, is a husband
and a father. The engineer's risme is Josei h Dudley.
He, as soon as he saw what had happened, ran across
the pit bank, and is not supposed to have been yet
arrested.—Birstingliain Post,

We will venture to assert, that it has never entered
the mind of any of our fair readers to imagine the deter-
mined resistance that would be made by the stronger
sex if their favourite Al!sop or Bass was for the future
to be brewed from malt which had been previously
covered with mineral powder; -then why should English
merohanta, for the sake of the extra profit, allow China-
men to get rid of their inferior Tea by covering the
green with • bluish powder and making Black kinds
more intensely dark, knowing that the airieral powders
must necessarily be washed off and taken by our fair
countrywomen when the tea is made at table? Horni-
man & Co. are convinced that sterling quality is pre-
ferred before mere appearance, they therefore import all
their Tea without powdered colour on the surface.
