AN ARCHDEACON ON NEWNPAPIII4. A rchdetoon
Freeman, of Devonshire—may vre be pardoned if we
are ignorant of the locality honoured by his residence,
for se never heard of him before (" the world knows
nothing of its greatest men")—has been " pite';ing
into" newspaper.. He said at the meeting of a Church
. :—" I hate newspapere. There were no nein.
papers in St. Paul's time ; but bad there been I believe
he also would have hated them. I think they are some
of the most injurious things possible, not because
they spread abroad a parcel of rubbish, but because
they are such feeble things." It is kind of the Arch-
deacon to tell us what he thinks St. Patti would have
thought. A very pious old lady once said, in reference
to some apooolical injunction of which she did not
approve, "That's ..ere St. Peal and I differ." With
almost equal temerity we venture to differ from Arch-
deacon Freeman. We think it very 'holy that St.
Peel could have liked newspapers, as he evidently
liked the Greek poets whom he quoted—perhaps,
indeed, hare written leaders, am 'shy should he
not, when through the pre., he could address ten times
as many as could hear his voice? "The papers" went
on the Archdeacon, " often tell you things you don't
I want to know." Perhaps he don't want to know what
!we think of him. If so, we will not tell him, and no
falsify his assertion.

RAILWAY RATAN AND FARE& —Pn.fessor Leone
Leri, in the mune of an address on "Our Commercial
IPolicy." in connection aiih the National Reform Union,
Manchester, made the following remarks on the rates
I and fairs charged by our railways for the transport of
good. and passengers : "From Liverpool to Man.
chaster, manufactured 'sonata goods are chmged 11:11.
, per ton. The cor;cspondieg rate in FrAnce is Si. For
' the transport of furniture for the nine distance, the
, London and North-Western charges 17s. fel per ton.
in France the rote is its. Iron costing pays here lii.;
there 'is. 5.1. Cotton wool pays here Ss.; there rer,
per ton. From London to Liverpool the charges for
passengers by the London and NortL•Western are-
-22d• a mile for first clam 1'56,1 a mile for wood, and
0141. a mile for third clans. From Pans to Marseilles,
I'M for first class, 1•30 d for second, and 0 95,1 for
third elem. But in !J.-Liam and Germany the rates are
immcossly cheaper. Mote than this, a great subject
of complaint in this country is that, at present, railway
'fares and rates aro in • pefcrt chaos, every company
having its own scale and its own time table, different
from all the rest. A cask of sugar from Glasgow to
Manchester pays 7s. 2d. per ton per 100 miles ; from
11-ietol to Menchester, 12e, Sel.; from London to Alm-
che.ter. 14s. 7d.; and from Liverpool to Manchester,
Li roa 61. per ton per 100 miles. The great desiderata
are a reduction of fares and rates, a uniform mileage
rate applicable to all completed railways, perfect cor-
respondence and unity of tiaffic between all railway
companion, and increased facilities for the conveyance,
of third-class passengers by all trains."

1411 CHARGE or LIBEL oN Till EUROPEAN ASSUR-
ANCE SoCIETT.—tdr. Joseph Bentley, of Aldine Cham-
bers, 13, Paternoster.row, was summoned before Sir
Robert W. Carden. on Wedneeday, for unlawfully and
maliciously publishing • defamatory libel of and (mo-
urning the European Assurance Society. In • Is. 61.
pamphlet Mr. Bentley described tho society as "
solvent." Mr. Lewis, who prosecuted, said that even
if the statement against the European were true it
would still be a arms libel; but the European had
challenger: the defendant to come into court and prove
his ststeuients. It was true that that court was not
the piece to enter upon • juntificetioti of the libels, but
lie would have an opportunity of doing so elsewhere.
They took these proceedings on public grounds, not only
for themselves but for • large number of banking in-
stitntions which the defendant was seeking to attack,
as well as other large assurance companies, which he
made no bones of mentioning in his table as positively
"doubtful," no doubt intending to insinuate that the
persons who assured with them would be defrauded.
Mr. Bentley was induced to reserve his defence, and
11•1 fully committed for trial; but Sir Robert W.
Carden consented to take bail, two sureties iii £lOO
each, and himself in CM. At the rising of the Court
satisfactory ball was not forthcoming, and the prisoner
was conveyed to Neergate in • cab.
MTErrEttlooll AFFAII.—A. woman who passed as the
wife of Mr. Fowler, living in good style in South Longs,
wu missed on Sunday afternoon. On Monday her body
Rai discovered on a balcony outside her bedroom
window, wet with the rain of the preceding night. Her
farm, which was uppermost, was black. A phial, which
is said to have contained strychnine, was found by the
side of the corpse, which is that of a handsome woman
of three or four and thirty. The window of the bed-
room communicating with the balcony was closed and
fastened inside, and the blind was drawn. One of the
servants in the house has stated to the police that eh,'

mistress It it else said that the deceased lady had
been quarrelling with Mr. Fowler on the Fridey and
Saturday, and that on the afternoon of the latter day

the inquest cud the female servants deposed that shame
her mistress for the last time on fieturday evening. Bhe
was hiding from Mr. Fowler, on amount of his ill-
treatment. He was abusing her most shamefully.
She said she would take the poison which Mr. Fowler
bad bought her on Friday. She wished witness to give
her love to her mother, and added that whet was

DRIADAUL MORDIA.-40 01114LTly widow, Madame
Vandenpoel, and her danghter, an old maid, lived in a
house of their own at Brussels. They were very well
off, but rather miserly. On Friday. the 15th, • card oas
jput on the door, with the word "absent." It remained
or • week. Suspicion we. then incited, and the house
entered, when the murdered bodies of the mother end
daughter were found in the dining-room. The
daughter's teepee showed signs of a fearful struggle; her
hair had been torn off in severs! places; her (see was
all over scratches ; her skull had been beaten in, after
an attempt at strangulation, which had left leer icesble
marks on her throat; the body lying in a pool of blood.
The mother had been killed by repeated blows about
the head, inflicted by a hammer; her head rested on '
, her knees, as if In her terror she bad wished to shut
out some dreadful sight. The cloth wee laid in the
dining-room for three persons, and the furniture was ,
not broken nor disturbed. The drawers of a writtnill
table were found open, and titleeleede, sham, and
other secoritiel in them untouched. In the bedroom
of the mother the bed showed trues of having been
slept in. During the evening of the 1 4th the neigh.
hours fancy they recollect hearing some noise and men's
voices, and supposed they were receiving company. No
clue whatever has been discovered to tbe smeaasin, or
rather assassins, as it is supposed there were two persons
engaged in this bloody work.
