AT Exeter, last week, a boy, named Frederick Paw, was
summoned by the Rev. F. Turner for using abusive language
to his children, one of whom is an invalid, while walking in
the street with his servant. The bench fined the defendant ss.
and expenses, or, in default, three days' imprisonment.
THE forests and mountains of the Eiffel, in the province of
Treves, in Prussia, have for some time past been infested by a
band of brigands, who have even stripped poor foot-passengers
of their clothes, and some of these have sn consequence been
frozen to death. The authorities have just sent detachments
of cavalry' nd infantry to hunt out the robbers.
EA.Rvr on Monday, last week, some burglars effected an
entrance into Thurnscoe-hall, near Barnsley, the residence of
the Rev. Thomas Wood Simpson, rector of Thurnscoe, and
stole four silver dish covers, four silver decanter stands, sugar
icings, two hams, two flitches of bacon, and other articles,

AT a recent meeting of the subscribers to the Leicester
Hospital, a gentleman moved that the use of wines and liquors
in the hospital be henceforth prohibited, c,onteuding that they
were unnecessary and prejudicial. The medical officers, how-
ever, being of a decidedly contrary opinion, the motion was
negatived almost unanimously.
THE Scientific American says that several instances are
lately recorded: where persons who were in the habit of read-
ing much in railway carriages had become nearly blind. It
appears the jolting motion causes the eye to strain in catching
the separate letteri, and makes their" effect on the retina very

injurious.
THERE were 800 more women than men committed in Aber-
deen, during the past year—a melancholy fact, as regards the
fair sex, unparalleled in any other place in the kingdom. The
principal•cause of this fearful state of matters is alleged to be
the enrolling of the militia, and the increase of drunkenness
and vice-consequent thereon,

,13ZESTON CHURCH, one of the oldest in the parish of Leeds,
was severely damaged by fire on Monday last. The disaster
•,-is attributed to over-beating of 'the flues. The organ was
tdtally consumed, and a large part of the roof destroyed. Parts
'of the communion furniture areasserted by high authority to
kave been in use from the time of Richard I.—that is, from
'what is technically called " time'ammemorial."
BENSiMIN Score, blanket manufacturer, of '&risheatou,
near Leeds, came up at ' the 'heeds District Court of Bank-
ruptcy, last week, before Mr.'•Commissioner Aryton, on: his
adjourned last examination. In the course of the interroga-
tories his Honour said to the bankrupt, " You have already
perjured yourself twentyor 'thirty times. Do you want "to
spend the rest of your life in York Castle ?" At the' end of
the inquiry the bankrupts committed for perjury, and his
last examination adjourned, without protection and eine die.
ON Wednesday,after the Recorder of London had sentenced
a prisoner to six . years', nenal servitude, the rascal exclaimed,
"Do you call this a fair trial ?" and, drawing from his 'pocket
a piece of coal about the size of a large apple, threw 'it with
great force and precision -at the head of the Recorder. For-
tunately, he had observed the movement of theprisoner, and,
by quickly moving his hossl upon one side, escaped a blow that
would have done him ra serious injury, for the missile struck
the wall close by the eke of his lordship's face, andbroke into
pieces.

SERIOUS alarm • was created in Cambridge, ou Satardey
evening,,by the occurrence of afire in the hallbaf Caius College,
which has only rcamtly been completed at a great expense
from' tha.ssigns of Mr. Salvin, and the, interior of which is
one , of. the most highly-finished specimens of-modern decorated
work: in the kingdom. The hall is situate immediately over
the kitchen, and the chimney of the kitchen, which runs up
behind the wainscotting of the luill,'had, it appears, caught 'fire,
and thedteat had.also ignited the wainscotting and floor of the

for. even years, agreeing to pay hima•cern per centage on
the •work done. :The agreement was voidable by notice and
payment-of 250. The master, however, found his trade sopros-
porous, that his foreman made 4t360rf,7 •a week; and thinking
this toomuch,,endeasoured to get.him to enter into another
agreement, whereby he was to be paid;. a week, and a

turned to his work at four o'clock the same day, but was ethen
told that, he had broken his contract by- absenting himself
without leave, and discharged. A jury in the Court of Queen's
Bench, last week, gave him a verdict against Mr. Distill dor

THE CALBROXIA.N RAILWAY Comreere.—A meeting ee
the shareholdersen this company was held on Wednesday, at
the Clarendon-rooms, for the purpose of conaidering the posi-
tion of the company in reference to the Edinburgh and Glas- ,
gow Company, and the .steps which should be taken to bring
about a pacific policy, and Put a final stop to the existing com-
petition, which is injurious to both companies. MreGillow
was called to the chair, and explained the present position of
affairs between the -two companies, and concluded with a reso-
lution that a committee be appointed to address a circular to
the shareholders, soliciting theireeupport to the following reso-
lution, to be proposed at the next half-yearly meeting :
" That a committee of gentlemen in whose judgment and
,principles the shareholders may have confidence, be appointed
to examine into the present position and management -of ;the

oseintervention an attempt may be
male to conclude a fair and mutually beneficial joint-working
agreement with the Edinburgh and. Glasgow Company, similar
to that lately entered into between the Scottish Central and
Edialeargh, Perth, and Dundee Companies ; and, in effecting
this, it, hould also be aimed at that the best understanding
should be maintained with the last-named companies'
The resolution was seconded by Xr. Joynson, and adopted;
after which the meeting separated.
REVIRES OF MIRRIAGES, %ETES, Jai'D DEATHS.--The
quarterlyxeturn of the registrar-general states, in the quarter
that ended on September 30, 1855, therewere celebrated in
England 37,151 marriages, being 999 fewer than in the Cor-
responding ,quarter of the previous year, and slightly under
the average .of the ten preceding and corresponding quarters.
In the quarter ending December 31, there were registered
148,853 birtheebeing an excess over the same quarter in 1854
of 2,394 ; and the deaths were 97,119, being 0.167 under the
average of the season. In the whole year 1865, the number
of children born in England was 635,123, or 208,881 in excess
of the deaths (426,262) ; the number of marriages was 57,132 ;
and the total number of emigrants from the United Kingdom
was 166,253, exclusive of 10,664 foreigners. The deaths in
1856 were nearly 12,000 fewer than in 1854; the rate of mor-
tality was 2.269 per cent„ or nearly 23 in every 1,090 inha-
bitants. This improvement in the public health was general ;
but in Lancashire and Cheshire the improvement was less
extensive than in other counties; and in Liverpool and West
Derby there was absolutely an increased rate of mortality, the
deaths having been 3,487, or 273 more than in the last quarter
of 1853. In Manchester and Salford, on the other hand, the
deaths were 2,306, or 374 less than in 1853.
THE LATE BURGLARY AT PORTSEA.—The thieves who
effected an entrance into the Portsea premises of Messrs. E.
and E. Emanuel, of Portsea, on the 16th of December, when
they escaped with at least worth of jewellery, have
been captured by Mr. Leggatt, the superintendent of the
Portsmouth police, with the agency of Mr. Wootton, the post-
master of Mount-street, Lameth. Their names are James
May and William Henry May, bricklayers, and Henry Phillips,
labourer. As the principals admitted their guilt, it is unne-
cessary to detail the evidence, which was very conclusive,
notwithstanding. The prisoner William Henry May told
Superintendent Leggett how the robbery was effected, and
how they waited in the bottle store in the back street, by
which an entry had been made into the premises robbed,
until half-past five o'clock in the morning, because they knew
the police went off duty at five. The whole of the house-
breaking implements (a complete and modern "establish-
ment") were left behind, and a bunch of picklocks was found
in the box of May, together with nearly the whole of the jew-
ellery, &c., stolen. 31 duplicates were Also found in the box for
articles pledged in London. All the prisoners have been corn-
fmc:7,o.

The directors of the South-Western Railway met on Thurs-
day, and came to the resolution, in conformity with the late
decision of the shareholders, to abandon their bill for the coast
ine, and pursue that for the central line.
The Rev. Dr. Vaughan, rector of St. Matthew's, Brixton,
having been acquitted of two out of the three indictments
against him for tampering with the register, the prosecutor
withdrew the third. Mr. Justice Wightman, in ordering the
defendant to be discharged, said that he thought that the
prosecutor had acted entirely under a misapprehension.
ON Saturday, an inquest was held at Walworth, on the
body of Frank Withers Rider, aged six weeks, the son of Mr.
Thomas George Rider, a commercial clerk, residing at No. 12,
Onslow-terrace, Lorrimore-road, who was murdered by his
mother, Emily Rider, by drowning in a pan of water, on
Thursday last. Evidence having been led, the jury returned
a verdict of " wilful murder" against Emily Rider. According
I to one of the witnesses, the unhappy lady is insane.

THE FATAL COLLISION OPP FOLESTONE.—The inquiry
which was opened on Friday, at Deal, on the bodies of four of
the passengers of the ship Josephine Willis, which was run
down, on Sunday night week, by the screw steamer Manger-
ton, was resumed on Saturday morning. After a most pro-
tracted investigation, the coroner being assisted by Captain
Cannon, R.N., (late of H.M.S. Centaur,) the jury returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter" against Richard Bourchier, the
captain of the Mangerton, who, on the warrant being issued,
was found to have left the town.
Loss OF THE STORE-SHIP SUPERB.—A wreck occurred in
the Black Sea, with serious loss of life, during the fearful
gale of the 16th of December—the store-ship Superb, of Dept-
ford, 380 tons, with stores for the army in the Crimea. The
Superb was off the coast, at Macao. Bay, when the storm came
on. She broke away from her anchors, and was dashed on
some sunken rocks, and, although the cries and screams of
the helpless crew could be distinctly heard, the continuance
of the gale prevented any boat living in such a surf. The
ship broke up, and every person on board, to the number of
twenty, were drowned.
LARGE PURCHASE OP -SHIPS FOR, FRANCE.-011 Saturday
the purchase was made, 'of the General Screw Steam Shipping
Company, of the Jason, Indiana, Golden Fleece, Calcutta,
Argo, Queen of the South, Hydases and Lady Joce/yn,—
amounting, we hear, to nearly £500,000. We believe this to
be the largest purchase of shipping ever made in one line, and
it has been effected by Mr. Graham (of the firm of Maitland,
Cuthbert, and Co., of Paris), Mr. Brett (of the firm of Cunard,
Brett, and Austen, of London), and M. Beraud Villars (mana-
ger of the French Clipper Company).
PRECARIOUS SALVAGE.—The schooner Endeavour, of Yar-
mouth, reports that about eleven a.m. on Wednesday, she
'saw apparently the mastheads of a vessel about four miles to
the southward of Inchkeith, and, on approaching, found them
to belong to a sunken schooner. The mastheads were painted
black, the name of the unfortunate vessel and the fate of her
Urew have not yet transpired; but it is added, that to the
forem'asead clung a Cockenzie fisherman, whom his comrades
had left at daylight to claim the wreck for salvage. The tide
was rapidly gaining on him, and our 'wrecker was only too
glad to escape from his highly perilous position in the Endea-
vour—the love of salvage thoroughly washed out of him.—
Giaogow Mail.
GAROTTE RODIIERIES.—,Anothet of these cowardly and
dangerous robberies, which are becoming so general about
'the metropolis was committed on Mr. Thomes Bond, many
years collecting clerk in the utablisb.ment of Child and Co.,
44eicester-square, who had been spending the evening on
Wednesday, with a friend at Camden-town, and returning
home, at about midnight, down Tottenham-court-road, and
having crossed Oxford-street, into Crown. street, Soho, was
proceeding for the Haymarket,,when he was suddenly seized
round the neck -by a man secreted in a corner in the street,
and so tightly throttled that he was quite unable to make-a
noise or offer resistance, while two more ruffians rushed upon
him, and, hating snapped his watch-guard in two, robbed
him of his watch and 235. in silver from -his trousers pocket.
There was no further personal violence or injury, bat Mr.
Bond was rendered insensible and left prostrate on the pave-
ment.

MITEDLS 'DT A CONVICT.—On Friday a convict, named
Jones, No.-34246, stabbed Mr. Charles William Hope, assistant-
surgeon on board the Stirling Castle convict invalid hulk, in
Portsmouth Harbour. The wound was inflicted in the neck
by tornetharp instrument, not discovered yet,-and seems to
hare divided the jugular vein, causing death in a few minutes.
Tivc prisoner seems to have become desperate en the deceased
refusing to certify the necessity for his remaining in the lower
deck, which is a sort- of invalid ward, and wreaked his yen-
valve 'on him in the gallery of the chapel, after leaving. the
surgery when he had been examined. From language which
he used afterwards to Mr. Williams, the chief warder, it would
seenihe intended to. murder him also, as he said, " If I could
gett you I'd serve-you the same, you --'villain !" A co-
roner's inquest on the body was adjourned.
TEIEGRAPIE 'TO AUSTRALIA.—The Genoa Corriere Mer-
eagtiie of the sth instant has the following :-=" The Mediter-
ranean Electric-Telegraph Company, which is at this moment
I oteupied in laying down the necessary wires to unite the
Wand of Sardinia"v'ith La Calle, on the coast of Africa, intends
to establish a eosnplete telegraphic communication between
-'urope and Melbourne, in Southern Australia. After opening
voonclary lines between La Calle, Bona, Bugia, Algiers, and
Oran, the company proposes to run the principal lines by
Tunis, Tripoli, -Alexandria, Cairo, Suez, Jerusalem, Damascus,
Bagdad, Buseoiuh, along the northern coast of the Sea of
-Oman, Hyderabad, and Bombay, where the line is to separate
into two branches. The northern branch-Will proceed directly
to Agra, whence a wire will be directed: towards Lahore and
Peshawur, and 'thus reach within a short distance of Cabul
and Cashmere. From Agra the telegraph wire will pass
through Benarer and unite at Calcutta, with the southern
branch, which, starting from Bombay; will,pass through Ban-
galore and Madras. From Calcutta the line will follow the
north-east coast of the Gulf of Bengal, the peninsula of
Malacca, the Sauda islands; and thence cross over to the north
of Australia, and, extending along the eastern coast of that
continent, ,communicate with its nunieroas settlements, until
it ultimatelyreaches Port Adelaide. Thecntire length of the
line is estimated at 20,000 kilometres."

DEATH C.R-2. MISER WITH £5,000 <MAUS PERSON.—AR
inquest was held on Saturday, at Westminster, London, on the
body of Frederick Hoffman, aged 41. The deceased, who was
well known in the neighbourhood for' his penurious habits,
was engaged-as a waiter and to take thehats of the company
at a party:given by M. Rothschild, a diamond merchant, of
Argyllestreeteon Friday. He arrived about eight o'clock, and
performed the duties of his office, and at supper time ate very
greedily. About three o'clock on Saturday morning he was
seized with a: kind of fit in the supper-room, and although
medical assistance was immediately procured, he died in a few
minutes. On the body being searched, the first thing which
presented itself was some portions of poultry which he had
secreted during supper in his pockets, and £36 in gold and
21s. in silver, aßank of England note for 2100, a deposit book
of the Royal British Bank for £1,225, a deposit receipt of the
London and Westminster Bank for £5OO, a bill of exchange
for £l5 155., another for £25, a bank deposit receipt for £l5O,
three parcels of pearls, three of rubies, three of diamonds, one
of rough diamondseone of emeraldsrand one of ;garnets. Forty-
one sovemigns -were subsequently found in the fob of the
deceased's trousers. Mr. Chappel, surgeon,•said he had opened
the bodyeend,itehis opinion, death had resulted from serous
apoplexy. M. Rothschild raid deceased.; had the precious
stones from various parties to sell on eommissien. The money
he knew nethingabout. He was supposed to be so poor a
man that, sometime since, a subscription. was raised to send
him into the country for the benefit eaf his health. A verdict
of natural-death-from serous apoplexy was returned.
CAE:INET Peoverres.—Lord Palmenston winks, night and
day—portentous fact. Whether it is becauseuf the state of
his elderly nwves, orlecause of the state of affair's, it is certain
that Henry Temple, Viscount Palmerston, is perpetually
winking. He winks at Mr. Speaker, he vviuks.cst the Opposi-
tion,-he winks at' below the gangway, lie winks .at the clock,
he is always winkipg-ewhen he has an atelienceehe necessarily
winks at the Queen. The amount of knowingness that he
thus impresses public 'life with is tremendouseand club ru-
mours begin to be awful. How will the country-endure the
some-months uncertainty about Peace, while-the Premier
chronically Winks .at the Legislature, tins throwing fresh
feelings of 'doubt into the confusion? Barleigh,'s nod was
something, in its way, as a state intimation ; but, Burleigh's
nod was a trifle to ,what Palmerston's wink is. *bout the
ordinary Premier, you, cangenerally guess with some approxi-
mate certainty. Pitt, at Bellamy's, always orderedeepartieu-
lar bin when he was going to suggest a new tax. Lewd Liver-
pool used to go and walk about Covent Garden Flower
.Market, after leaving A , Cabinet Council, and the fruiterers
,could tell by his manner, in examining the bouquets, whether
Iffuskisson had been very obstinate, or Canning too malieious.
.Feel's fawn-coloured waistcoat had its signifieance, like the
:Navarre white plume ; it always meant mischief, and then his
sidle was twice as topions as ever. Lord John gets his;hair
cat when he is going to talkabout Sydney on the scaffold, and
Hampden in the usual place. When Mr. Disraeli contemplates
a remarkable oration, lie leaves word at the refreshment.stall
in the members' vestibule to have Selters water and.sherry
brandy mixed by eleven o'clock, p.m., and ready to be brought
in by that attentive son of a-DukeeTeord Henry Lennox. But
guesses about Lord Palmerston, are.over. A First Minister,-
who is always winking, bewilders the oldest member past any
conjecture. When St. Vitus is in the Cabinet, the Lord Pre-
sident, only, knows what may happen. However, the English
ought to be glad that the aged Lords they select to govern
them take to the natural relief of this excess of activity. It is
better than paralysis. The lively wink is preferable to the
, fixed stars.—Correspondent of the Dublin Nation.
ELECTIONS: SCENE AT CAM_BRIDGE.-Mr. M. T. Baines
lass been re-elected for Leeds; Mr. Labouchere, for Taunton.
Mr. George Ridley has been elected for Newcastle-upon-Tyne ;
Mr. Warren, far Midhurst ; Lord Ilaynham, for Tamworth ;
Mr. Adam Black, for Edinburgh; and Mr. Martin, for Ro-
chester. On -Saturday the election for Cambridge concluded
by the retirement of Mr. Denman from the contest, when the
polling stood, -Walpole, 886; Denman, 419:; majority, 467.
On Friday there was a riot among the Cambridge under-
graduates, in consequence of their being refused admittance to
the Senate-house. They hooted the Vice-Chancellor, and
marched up and down Trinity-street in dense masses, hooting,
hallowing, screeching, and whistling, under the expectation
that they should have the satisfaction of " escorting the Vice-
Chancellor to the Senate-house." About half-past seven they
were in great force at the entrance opposite St. Mary's-passage,
where they tore down an awning that had been erected during
the day, and many of them forced their way into the enclosure.
The hour appointed for polling was half-past seven, but no
Vice-Chancellor made his appearance ; and it was not until
eight o'clock that some men, who had been watching Trinity
gates, came tearing along, urging their comrades to whistle,
whistle." And then (says the Cambridge Chronicle) arose
a terrible yell from hundreds of voices surronnding the
entrance opposite St. ;Mary's-passage, at which the Vice-
Chancellor was expected to go in ; they were, however, dis-
appointed of their prey, for admittance was gained quickly and
quietly at the principal gate, on Senate-house-bill. On enter-
ing the schools, the Vice-Chancellor was greeted with
sounds both complimentary and the reverse by a dense crowd
of Masters of Arts. Whilst the polling was going on, a body
of under-graduates made an entrance into the old Court of
King's, and smashed the windows of the schools ; whereupon a
cry arose from the Masters of Arts to the effect that the under-
graduates should not have been slant out. Before the Vice-
Chancellor quitted the schools, he requested the protection of
the gentlemen present on his way home, and a body of them
responded, and formed themselves into a guard around him.
No sooner was the procession observed under the Library than
an unearthly cry arose, and when the Vice-Chancellor emerged
from the gate on Senate-house-hill he was beset by an infuri-
ated mob, and it was with the utmost difficulty that he gained
Trinity College unharmed, notwithstanding the persevering
assistance of large numbers of members of the Senate. The
Independent says that some of the young men were captured,
and will, no doubt, be made to suffer for this fresh breach of
University discipline."
