CURIOUS CHESS MATCH.

A chess match of & ranarkable character is now being
riondneted hr telegraph le t ween Vie club. at Liverpool and
c,icutte. Toe nearest parallel ro this performance IVY
the match which Anish-d in 1874 between London and
Vienna. Two simultaneous menet are being conducted,
Liverpool making first move in ore, and Calcutta in the
oiler. The Librr .1 Chen Club has. difficult task before
It, for though it has amongst its members some of the
ern-ingest pl.yers in the kingdom, India is not only the
Ii rtbplaee of rheas, but has produced many masters of the
sem+. Toe games in Liverpool are conducted by • con-
sulting committee, tile ultimate d °Melon on the moves to
be sent being le! ttis sub-committee of Owe. In Calcutta
they are trusting more to the capacity of the individual
player. than to sorgestions of several, as they have only a
c unmittee of four, consialing of two Brahmins of the
f3sboo caste. and two Englishmen. No money stake, nor
ani thing but the honour of victory, is involved in the
remit. Si far the games are only in their first develop-
ment, but it is confidently hoped that they will be flnialted
by January.

ALARMING ExPLo.lo,7.—For some years past the
water of the well belonging to the house now occupied
by Mr. Thomas Curtis, blacksmith, ha. been observed
to be increaring in (outflow, from some came or other.
On Monday last it was decided to "pump it out," to
endeavour to ascertain the cause. On letting • candle
down a tremendous explosion took place, accompanied
by flame, which mac three or four feet above the
ground, and continued burning for • considerable time.
On applying a light to portions of the liquid afterwards
drawn from the well they took fire, and continued
burning for an hour or more. The cause is supposed
to be the percolation into the well for some years pima
of paraffin which, by some means must have escaped
from adjoining stores.

FATAL RESULTS OF VACCINATION.

On Thursday Dr. Danford Thomas held an inquest at
the Providence Hall, Paddington, on the body of Elizabeth
Twinham, aged six months, the daughter of a carman
living at 5, Church-place, Paddington, who died from
the effects of vaccination. Mrs. Mary Twinbana, the
mother, stated that the decea.od was a strong, healthy
baby up to • month ago when she bad her vaccinated.
Shortly after the operation the arras and hands began
to swell and discolour, and she had a discoloration at
the back of the head, all of which she attributed to
poisoning by the vaccine matt !r. Deceased was seen
three times by the doctor at the dispensary, Out no
lymph wee removed from the pistulez on the arm. On
Monday morning as her hushand rose to go to work she
found the deceased appsrently in • convulsive fit and
frothing at the mouth. The c nvulsion continued for
fully five minutes, and then the rhild hecame rigid, and
when the eoctor err veil he pronounced life to be
extinct. Mr. Prince, M. R.C.S., of 12, Dudley-grove, said
that he found the child d ad. lie did not think a post-
mortem at all necessary, tor the symptoms before death
and the appearances aft.irwar Is led him to infer that
death had resulted from cmvalsions. Deceased had been
suffering from very. extensive erysipelas following vaccin•
ation, and the putules on the anu were open and
discharging freely. The tit of convulsions was probably
brought on by the erysipelas.—By the Coroner Witness
discovered that a child living in the next 'house was
suffering from severe erysipelas, following vaccination, but
that child was recovering—The jury at mice returned a
verdict "That the demand died from convulsions,
following erysipelas after vaccination."

and thew, by the eooric,io• that they can never do them

that you can write like Seneca. But because you can-

FULFILLED DREAMS.

A correspondent writing to theDailyNewa says: —lf,amidst
the pressure of more imp inset matters, domestic, foreign,
and Hibernian, you can find room for two iristances of
" strength fulfilled dremna." for the absolute truth of
which I can vouch, having had them at first hand from
the twain "who saw the vision," they may earn to
interest your readers. Mime years ego the Rev. Thomas
Snow, then vicar of Richmond, in Surrey, was travelling
in France with his eldest son. One morning Mrs. Snow
cams down 11 breakfest with • very alarmed expreggion
of countenance (I was "laying in the vicarage at the
time), and said, "I had a mot distressing dream last
nick'. I dreamt that I saw Mr. Snow and Dorlel Put
loth • bra-se, and, sa it were, carried off to burial." A
letter from the travellers a few days after dispelled the
apprehensions naturally excited by this gruesome dream,
and on their ',torn they were told what Mrs. Snow
had men. " Well. said Mr. Snow, " that is most
remarkable. Oa the day you m..aties Doyley sad /
were walking in the coontry. near Paris, when we were
overtaken by • trerneedoui thou lentorm and in danger
of getting wit through. Whilst we were looking for
shelter a hearse drove or, returning from • funeral, and
the driver kindly offered us a lilt. Paige de whoa, we
jumped inside, and in thi strings vehicle made our
entrance loth Paris." The other ia • still stranger instance
of a "strangely fulfilled dream," nod wet told me be an
old friend, who was himself tin hero of the tale. The Rev,
John Monkheuse, incumnbentof Newlands, near Xeserlek,
dreamt three times in one night that Forster's Bank, in
Carlisle, had failed. This dream ao preyed upon his mind
that though Punter's Bank was supposed throughout
Cumberland to be "safe as the Rank of England," ha
determined to go nextday and withdraw • large him of
trust money. II think some £5,000) which he had
deposited in the bank for security. The money was paid
without the "lightest demur in hard cash, which rather
staggered his belief in the truth of his dream. He went
about his other litheness in Carlisle, and hearing no
whisper In the course of the day as to the instability of
the bunk, and having no other investment ready, he
actually went and put the money back again I In a few

3OURN3YOI7TH.

Till FIFTH AT BOURg'M UTH. —One of the larva
and most enthusiastic public meetings of the Mb& it-
ante of thin fashionable watering.place ever held, took
place on Friday evening, when the Town Hall was
oremmed. Its object was to protest against the
sonduct of the police, and the magistrates in connec-
tion with the recent Fifth of November proceedings.
On that occasion it was decided by the authorities that
any celelmati in of the memory of the late Mr. G.
Faux should be put down, and for that purpose •
force of 60 policemen were brought into the town from
various districts, which', of course, were left a prey to
thieves and all manner of rioting, if any persons chose
to indulge in it. The conduct of the police upon the
evening in question, as narrated by speaker after
speaker, would have disgraced • band of drunken
Irishmen, and their offioers seem to have been actually
worse than the men. Armed with their staves, they
repeatedly charged any little group of persons they
happened to see in the streets, and saluting them with
true Billingagate language, knocked them down,
tripped them up, kicked them, and freely used their
staves upon them. No lee than 25 persons, one after
another, stood up at the meeting, and described the
brutal conduct of the police, from which most, if not
all, suffered. It is satisfactory to know that the ,
numbers of some of the constables were taken, and it
Is to be hoped they will have the utmost benefit of the
law. Resolutions, calling the attention of the Home
Secretary to the matter, and demanding • full enquiry,
were carried unanimously. The complaint against the
I magistrates relates to two of them, Marrs. R.
Stephens and W. Moore. On the sth a sergeant of
police, who was in plain clothes at the time, took into-
I custody a lad of 19, named John Lydford, • native of
sturminater, but employed here. He charged him
with letting off a fix•work, which he denied, and the
officer, also swore, kicked him. The two magistrates
in question heard the case on the following day, not as
usual, at the Town Hall, where all magisterial business
La transacted, but at the office of the serjeant at the
police-station, and, moreover, half-an-hour before the
noted time fixed for such enquiries. Consequently,
when the reporters got there, the learned magistrates
were lecturing the lad, whom, it may be dated, is
paralysed in one arrc,upon the enormity of his offense,
an I thus concluded by sentencing him to 14 days' hard
labour. Mr. Moore further had the—it is bard to say
what to call it, but the coniness to tell the prisoner,
that seeing the way in which they had dealt with the
case, they had saved him the disgrace of being taken
through the streets. It ia hardly necessary to say that
this extraordinary method of procedure created the
greatest indignation, and the strongest representations
were at once made to the Home Secretary.
