HAIR DYE.-A man was plaeed a few days ago in a lunatic
asylum at Berlin, to be treated for mental alienation; brought
on by the use of hair dye. On examining the- dye which he
had employed, it was ascertained to be composed of lead, mer-
cury; and lunar caustic. It produced violent pains in the head,
and at length led to madness.
A MAID, WIFE, AND WIDOW, IN FOUR DAYS.—The
uncertainty of life has been forcibly impressed on us within
the last few days, by the death of Mr. Edwin Caplin, of New-
port, in the" prime of life. He was married on Thursday, the
25th ult., to Frances; youngest daughter of Mr. William
Hill, of Stone, near Newport. They left the island directly
after the wedding, proceeding by steamer from Cowes to
Southampton, intending to spend a week or two in London ;
but on reaching Winchester, Mr. C. found himself too ill to
proceed any further that night. The next day he became
worse, and the following night be died.
THE AUSTRIAN CREDIT BANK.—The new General Bank
of Credit of Vienna has been placed under the auspices of
the great name of Rothschild. The new institution will
receive a privilege from the government for a term of ninety
years.-- Its operations are to comprise all sorts_ of banking
transactions, industrial undertakings, loans purchases, colo-
nisation enterprises, and so forth. The
'capital of the institu-
tion is to be limited, for the beginning, to 60,000,000 florins,
with the right of increasing it to 100,000,000. An emission
of 300,000 shares of 200 florins each is to take place, for the
purpose of raising this capital. The five banking houses of
the Messrs. Rothschild put 26,000,000 of florins into the

NAVIGATION OP THE DARDANELLES.—The Ottoman Go- .
vernment has just adopted a measure long required by seamen.
The Porte has charged Captain Michel, of the Imperial
" Messageries," to erect on the coasts of Asia mid Europe,
from the Dardanelles as far as the Black Sea, a chain of light-
houses, which will enable vessels in future to pass through the
straits, and recognise the lands, the approaches to which were
rendered excessively dangerous by the absence of lights.
Captain Michel has engaged to execute the works and cause
the apparatus to be fitted up in each before the month of
January. At a later period, the system of beacons and light-
houses will be made general, and everything induces us to
hope that before a few years are over the coasts of the empire
and the islands of the Turkish Archipelago will no longer
present any of those dangers that seamen both of the navy
-and the merchant service have for a long time complained of.
The Ottoman Government has published a notice.to the effect
that a government steamer will for two months be employed
gratuitously in towing vessels and boats laden with wood and
coal for Constantinople through the Bosphorus, which they
cannot now pass in safety, in consequence of the strong

THE LAW OF RAILWAYS.—On Friday, at the Huddersfield
Railway Station, a scene occurred which caused some excite-
ment amongst those present. A passenger had travelled
from Manchester by the seven o'clock p.m. train, which is
third class as far as Huddersfield, and afterwards first and
second class. As the gentleman wished to proceed as far as
Mirfield, he inquired whether he should get out and book by
second class to that place, but was told that he could not be
allowed either to purchase a ticket or remain in the com-
pany's carriages without one. He, however, was determined
to test the matter, and entered a second-class train, signifying
at the same time his intention to pay second-class fare from,
Huddersfield to Mirfield. On arriving at Mirfield, and ten-
dering the second-class fare from Huddersfield to that place,
it was refused, and a demand made for second-class fare from
Manchester. He would not pay that amount, alleging that
he had already paid the company for conveying him between
Manchester and Huddersfield. It is stated that the magiS:
trates will be called on to decide the matter.—Huddersfield
Examiner.

ME inauguration of the Lord Mayor of London took place
on Friday, with the usual ceremonies. The chief points of in-
terest belonging to the affair are the speeches of the French
Ambassador and Lord Palmerston, with reference to the war ;
and the reception of Lord John Russell, who was fairly extin-
guished.

In acknowledgment of the toast of " The"` Emperor
of the French," the French Ambassador spoke, in the
French language, to the following effect :—" I thank you,
my Lord Mayor, for having proposed in this place the
toast which has just been so warmly applauded. It is now
thirty-fire years since the first Napoleon expressed his re-
gret at not being able to conquer the prejudices of the two
peoples, or to gain the friendship of England. ' What great
things,' cried he, ' could we not do together ?' My lord, these
great things have now been accomplished, for the happiness
and security of the world. The tomb of the great Napoleon
has received the pious visit of your illustrious Queen, and un-
der another Napoleon, who understood the true interests of his
country, France has become the intimate ally of England. But
that is not all. Our alliance rests not solely on accidental cir-
cumstances, but on the closest reciprocity of interests as be-
tween the two peoples—interests so intermingled, that neither
happiness nor misfortune could touch the one without imme-
diately affecting the other. When two countries have arrived
at such a point, their alliance is protected from all kinds of
intrigues. No human power can separate two countries so
affected, and when we think of the union of our two countries
—the one the most distinguished for maritime power, the
other for military resource—we feel satisfied that in their alli-
ance we see the greatest amount of power that ever existed,
and we can wait in the most complete security the issue of
the war."_

In reply to the toast of " Lord Pahnerston and Her Ma-
jesty's Ministers,', the latter said,—On behalf of my colleagues,
and for myself, I beg you to accept our cordial thanks for the
honour you have done us in proposing this toast, and especially
for the,very kind and flattering manner in which that toast
has been received. It must be always most gratifying to
those who enjoy the confidence of the Crown; to be received
at the hospitable board of the chief magistrate of this great
city. Those persons who are charged with the conduct of
public affairs must indeed be inadequate to the performance
of the duty that devolves on them, if they were insensible to
the feelings of that great commercial body, which is so fully
represented by those who now sit within these walls. My
lord, commercial enterprise is one of the main foundations of
the greatness and power of this nation. In peace, the enter-
prising and exploring spirit of commerce diffuses civilization,
I by promoting the intercourse of nations, thus throwing down
the barriers that divide people from people; while, when war
unfortunately takes place, as in the course of human events
we must expect sometimes to be the case, commerce then fur-
nishes the means by which war can be successfully carried on,
so as ultimately to obtain a safe, honourable, and lasting peace.
It must always be the noblest aspiration that could possibly
fill the mind of man to be entrusted with the conduct of the
affairs of a great nation like this • but if ever there was a mo-
ment when those who are charged feel peculiarly proud of
the honour conferred, and also peculiarly sensible of the great
responsibility which such an honourable charge imposes, that
moment is the present, for never did a nation present a nobler
spectacle to the world than does the British nation at this
moment. We have entered into a great contest, not rashly or

MURDER OF A SURGEON.—Another horrid murder has
been committed within a few miles of Newcastle. Mr. Stir-
ling, surgeon, under thirty years of age, who came from
Scotland about three weeks ago, and was engaged as an assist-
ant to Mr. Watson, a surgeon at Burnopfield, a village about
seven miles from Newcastle. He left the surgery on Thurs-
day, the Ist inst., in the forenoon, and went out to visit some
patients at Spen, about three miles off, in the direction of
Gibside. He had made the visits, and was returning to Bur-
nopfield, but never reached there, the place where he was
murdered being about one mile off. The last time he was
seen alive was at one o'clock iu the afternoon, when he de-
parted from the last of the patients he had to visit. His not
returning home that night was matter of suspicion; and his
continued absence suggested the idea that he mightpossibly
have returned to his parents, who reside in or near Glasgow.
They were written to, and his father, alarmed at the intelli-
gence of his son's disappearance, immediately came over to
Burnopfield. On Tuesday, in examining a wood through
which the young man had to pass, not far from Gibside, and
about a mile from Burnopfield, his body was found by his
distressed parent ; when it was discovered that he had been
robbed and murdered. It appeared that he had been shot in
the groin, then beaten about the head, and his face was dread-
fully mutilated. His watch, a ring which he wore, and his
.purse, had been taken away. He was well educated, gentle-
manly in his manners, and belonged to a family of great
respectability.—Newcastle Messenger.
HORRIBLE STORY.—On Sunday, the 4th inst.,, a painful
sensation was caused in this town by the prevalence of a re-
port that a child had been worried by a dog. The child was
the son of Mr. Marshall, who occupied one of. some recently
erected houses in Sherwood-street, opposite the Clinton Arms.
A few minutes before 11 o'clock on Sunday morning, the child,
who was three years and a-half old, was playing with a brother
about a year older, in the back yard, in which a thorough-bred
bulldog was usually kept chained. At that time, however,
the animal was loose, and the children were lifting it into a
a small wheelbarrow, when it is supposed they managed to
trap one of the dog's feet. Immediately after the inmates of
the house were alarmed by hearing a piercing shriek, and, on
going into the passage, a horrible sight presented itself. The
dog was worrying the child as it lay in the corner, and such
was its ferocity that, to use the expression of an eye-witness, it
grandmother and a nurse•girl, raised au alarm, and the former,
was like a terrier fastening itself upon a rat. The child's
who was joined by Mrs. Marshall, seized a poker and the
tongs, and tried to beat the dog off, but without success. In
the meantime the father, who heard the cries from the top of
the house, and a butcher named Jackson, mounted over a high
wall and leaped into the yard. It seemed to them as if the
dog's nose was literally buried in the child's face ; Mr. Jackson
seized the animal by its hind-quarters, while Mr. Marshall
opened its jaws, and the former then threw it over the wall.
The dog, which was covered with blood, immediately ran
round to the front, and was observed to smell two children as
it passed them. The child being brought into the house, it
was found that his right ear was completely bitten off; there
were marks of the dotes teeth on the other ear, across the
nose, and on both the eyelids, while a fearful slit extended
from the right eye down to the mouth, and one of 'the fingers
was lacerated. The wounds were bandaged up, and, as the
child soon began to show signs of returning consciousness,
some hopes were entertained of saving his life. The animal
was killed the same morning.—Nottingham Journal.
PAUL, STRA.HAN, AND BATES.—The course pursued in the
case of Anderson the forger, and Cole the merchant, will be
carried out in the case of these convicts. It will be to keep
them in Newgate whilst the.proceedings in bankruptcy are
pending, and, should they be protracted over a period longer
than the authorities of the Home-office deem it advisable that
they should remain where they are, they will be removed to
Millbank-prison. Upon their being removed back to gaol,
after their conviction, they were put into prison attire, but
they have not their hair cut close, neither is there any correc-
tionary labour they will be put to. Prisoners in Newgate are
confined in separate cells, except when taken to exercise, and
there is no chance in this gaol of there being any special relax-
ation.oLthe_rules towards these_prisoners. For the first three
or four,days subsequent to their convietionthe prisoners were
in a desponding state, but have since becomeieingned to their
fate. Sir John Dean Paul is grandson to old .Dr. Paul, who
lived and died in lodgings opposite St. James's Church. His
father married the daughter of Lady Ann Simpson, niece to
the Earl of Strathmore. He died a very poor-man, his estate
of Rodborough having been sold in his lifetime to meet his
liabilities. By his mother's connexion, the delinquent banker
is first cousin to the present Lord Ravensworth, the Hon.
Augustus and Adolphus Liddell, the rector of St. Paul's,
,Knightsbridge, the Countess of Hardwicke, Viscountess Bar-
rington, Lady Bloomfield, and the Hon. Mrs. Villiers, sister-
in-law to the Earl of Clarendon. He married a daughter of
Charles.Beauderk, Esq., of Horshani. One of Sir John's own
sisters is married to a first cousin of the Duke of Leinster, and
his son, Aubery, to a daughter of Sir John Lister Kaye, Bart.

hastily, but after full and due deliberation, and we have en-
tered into that contest because we felt that the war was a
necessary as well' as a great one, and this nation evinces from
one end of the country to the other, a full and deliberate
determination to submit to every sacrifice which the prosecu-
tion of the war may entail, to show themselves equal to every
exertion that the conduct of the war may require, sand con-
tinue those exertions until peace shall be obtained on such
conditions as may be worthy of our sacrifices and of the cause
we have at heart. We have present, on this occasion, the re-
presentatives of those three allies with whom we are united
in a common undertaking. We have at this board the am-
bassador of the Emperor of the French, of-that great ally
whom I must do the justice to say that by his",magnanimity
of mind, his far-seeing policy, and his honesty of ,purpose, has
cemented the union between the two nations which had been
too long divided by jealousy and mistrust, but which, I hope,
will ever from this day forward continue to be earnest and
confiding friends. • We have at this board also the representa-
tive of the Sultan, in whose cause we have drawn the sword,
and whose subjects have shown themselves so worthy the
assistance we have given them. We have present the ambas-
sador of the King of Sardinia, whose character as a sovereign,
and the character of whose people, have excited the warmest
sympathy throughout this nation, whose conduct has excited
our warmest admiration, and in whose good faith we place the
most implicit confidence. I trust, gentlemen, that these re-
presentatives of our allies, let them go where they will through
the length and breadth of the land, will see nothing that will
not entitle them to tell their respective sovereigns that, whilst
we place the utmost confidence and reliance on the constancy
with which they support us in the war, they may, on the
other hand, be equally certain of the constancy, and determi-
nation of this country. And no man can doubt that these
four powers, earnest in a cause, will ultimately accomplish the
objects for which they took up arms. I say that no human
efforts can be long successful in resisting their united exer-
tions. The declarations with reference to the' war were loudly
cheered.
A subsequent toast was " The House of Commons," coupled
with the name of Lord John Russell. The announcement of
the name excited general disapprobation, which rose to a com-
plete storm of groans and hisses when he rose to respond to
the toast. The reception was such as he seemed not to have
anticipated, judging by the astonishment marked on his coun-
tenance ; and after uttering a few indistinct phrases about the
Lord Mayor's election to office being a triumph of principle,
he abruptly resumed his seat.
