EARLY MARRIAO6IS.—The returns for 1860 show, as
meal, an int:issuing number of eally marriages. In
1841 of Cl,. imen who married in England slily 438 per
cent, were under 21; in 1860 the proportion bad risen
to 638. Of the women nirrried the proportion under
age in 1841 was only 1339 per seat. ; in 1860 it was
19'35. Every y, ar above 2;000 girls me married nude,
18, when neither wind nor body has attained maturity ;
above 30,000 are married under 21. W ithin the last 20
years the number yf persons who marry under age has
doubled, though marriages have not increased much
more than 40 per cent. The increase of early niarri ipea
has been most rapid in the proiperous ten years 1851-
1860. In Bedfordshire., Northamptonshire, and
Huntingdonshire Whew the straw phut and lace

independents a fourth of those who marry, marry under
age. The propui Con is as high in Staffordseire the West
Riding, and Durham. It is lee in the metropolis, in
the seutloWeatemi countiess and in Wales.

Great and painful exeiteineut Las been caused at

sum of Mr. Dodd, a well-known a ' d eitor, of the
firm of Tate and Dodd, 32, lineleerabury, London.
This putleman has for many years otioupi id a cottage
belonging to Mr. William Bradfield, on bite
near the National Schools. There he resided in ma-
mmal privacy and retirement, alone, scarcely any person
ever being permitted to crass I/111 threshold, although
put of doom he was familiar with many, and possesasd
u genial Sow of spirits, and wise fond of instructive con-
e, nation and the arts and Iltießoel. For mita time
previous to the above-named day Mr. Duda bad been
unwell, and his medical adviser, atrongly in opposition
to his own wishes, enjoined hatatun of rest Mkt medical
regimen as being absolutely nepasarv. Willa was
reluctantly acted upon, and retuiting health evinced
itaelf, so much so that for Wale ditjs preceding Friday
he wits enabled to take, with his attach,cl dog, short
oalka upon the common" which afforded him great
plasanre. On that day he went out at about one
o'clock, and, as pauctuality was one oharacteriatie in
widch he at all times prided hinnadf, his return was
moected at three o'clock. That hoar, however, arrived,
and also four, but still he did not return, when Mr.
Bradlield's family became alarmed, and immediate

e' or, were that he had been seen conversing with wine

c•.tuped in various Mreetions. The ,search thee com-
menced has been continued up to the prompt moment,

of the common has been explored, and the woods

end ettaistanee of exploring expeditions into the interior
of Africa and Madagascar. Steps have already been
tekett for the turpese of transporting a number of
coloured people from Canada to form a settlement en
the Niger River, and, on the reecontnendation of the
eociemy, Earl 1111AKell had appointed a consul at Abbro-
kilts. Steps had aLso been taken by the council to brine
the harharitiee committed by the Ring if Dahomey
under the notice of the government, the result being
that tier Majesty's Government decided upon sending a
onminissioner to Dahomey to remonstrate with the
King, on the subjert m-f the slave trade, and to adopt
measures for its dircontinuanere MA the annual FlCrifiCe
of human beings. The eontwil has brought before Her
Majesty's Government a simple Oen for preventing the
further abuse of the American flag in carrying on the.
traffic on the east and west coasts of Africa. Tin.
seciety was especially directing its efforts to the anni•
hiletion of the slave trade, to the destruction of
domestic slavery in Africa, to bring about a change of
system in Dahomey. to improve the harbours and riven.,
to obtain roads for Africa, to have consuls placed in the
interior, to direct an industrial Christian African family
immigration to healthy location, such as Aintme bay
and Abbrolcuta, and also to eupply adequate machinery
mnd implements for enabling natives and inimigrauts to
derive the greatest possible results from their industry.
The chearoman, in moving the adoption of the report,
regretted the absence of Sir Cullen Eardley, Bit J.
Belleau, Dr. Hodgee, Rev. Mr. Baldain Brown, and
Vier influential people, the Rev. Mr. Baldwin Brown,
howeve-, vent a cheque for £25 in addition to £5 lie had
eolected. During the course of a very able address, he
said, the present was the aret report tamed-hp the
society, which was established at the end of 10360 ; sine.
then they had turned their attention mere fully to
Africa; for the establiehment of a society of this kind
there was a greet many difficulties to contend with.
Africa was very little understood, and among the public
very little was known about it. The society, hoe ever,
had been the means of directing public, attention to the
vast capabilities of Africa. M. °tinge had been held at
Manchester, Birmingham, Glaegow, and many other
owns, with great maces'. The priticipal object of the
society was to develop the vast resources of Africa, and

heed in a tlay. It was only time, petmenee, perseverence,
and with God's providence, that they omauld succeed. The
mile thing against their success was the el-we trade. He
then advm rted to the importance of fully soprecim t ng
he advantages immured by the Niger River. The
Society was forming a museum of Afrioan productions.
(The apeaker here exhibited and explained the nature of
a variety of articles.) Having further explained the
operations of the society at some length, he concluded
by st.,ting that the society was about to Revel out to
Amebas bay some machinery at a cost of £5OO, and to
in dee a good road extending from Akrapong to the sea-
port town of Accra, • great palm oil district, at a cost
of £2OO. The sum required for the immuediate current
expen es would automit to about £l,OOO. Mr. &hole-
field, M.P., seconded time motion for the adoption of
the report. which was neanimotmly carried. Colonel
Sykes, M.P., then said the success of the society
depended entirely upon the funds, which he hoped
would be forthcoming. Mr. Pownall (chairman of the
Middlesex tuagistretes) then moved a resolution congre-
tainting the society noon the recent treaty between
this country and the United States, for the suppresaion
of the slave trade, and hoping that a simiLm treaty
would soon be condo 'e I between this country and
France. Captain Close, RN„ said the last hope of the
tdsver would now be in the French flag. The motet-on
was carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed
the proceedings.

It is stated that a thousand of the operatives em-

dielcolty was' fortunately, soon resolved by the Guard-

the men that a new regulation had come into force,
which would reduce their wegesi, already low enough.

been officially wade. The number of the distressed
still increases. Leak week 10,229 persons were re-

A illterniNG GUNN.tLIftION STltllte. —A wagesdispute
bas arisen at the estotorre works of Sir William George
Armstrong and Co., at Mishit. The works are dividcil
into three departinents, via., engine worts, ordnance
works, and foundry works; and it is in connection with
the men of the ordnance and foundry works that the
dispute has arisen. The mania these works are divided
into two class,s, mechanics and bad-bred mechanics.
The former are tmroughly skilad workmen, trahred to
their liminess from boyhood; the latter are an inferior
description ef sidled labourers —men who have begun as
fliers labourer,, and have been advanced to the easier
deacription of skilled labour. At the beginning of tie
year the number of men at the works was greatly
reduced, and the work of the remsindsr was curtailed,
a night shift being diapented with. A few days ago, it
it was found desirable to routine ni,glit work with an
additional number of uren--lialf•bred ineeitanius—and
notice to that effect was given out. Nodose was also
given that the wages for night work would so longer
be, as heretofore, one half inure than the wage, for nay
work, but that live cloyed night work would be paid at
the rate of sic days of day work. The men declined to
accept thaw terms; they have, «imminently, iwen paid
the wages due to them, and have lett their employment.

to his flock, relating to • series of " miraclea" 'limb lie
asserts have just been performed by an oil and dis-
coloured image of tie `joule Mary, standing in a niche
in the open country near Spoleto. "Some months ago,"
he says, "this veberable image to souls extent revived
its worship by mesim of a vome, which was several
times heard by • chill under five year. of age, named
Henri, whom it called by his name. It also allowed
itself to this child in a manner which we cannot
describe." The Bishop then goes on to narrate that
sevend villagers ulfsriug under dangerous and painful
afflictions, especially persons labonring ender rhiaimatie
affeetious, felt themselves inspired to visit this image
mid worship it, and were restored to perfect health. A
woman whom a inalignaat spirit had tormented, he save,

new honours, and that • *clippie would be built to her
on the spot. A LUAU whose tact had been crushed by
the wheels of a wagon no somer approached
the image than he was able to stand and
walk as before. Moral miracles have also
been partormad. Scoffers, who have gone to the
spot, have, on drawing near. experienced a complete
change of heart. The exhibition has not been unpin.

an amount of his visit to the rime with his clergy on
the Bth, and of the directions which he gave as to the
restoration of the image, which he says is in a very
damaged state, and as to the bulling of a new church
on the spot. He has a medal struck, he remarks, in
honour of "the divine image." He concludes as
follows :—" The devotion to Mary goes on inereasing
