DEATH OF SIR JOHN DEAN PAUL.

of their term had expired, and the remission of th-elr penalty
was generally held to have been instilled by the dream-
stances of the case. Many of Sir John Paul's old friends and
associates believed in his Innocence to the cut: at all events,
the believed that his errors had not been the result of
deliberate dishonesty. Even the severest censors of public
manners will not be sorry to think that for the last half-
dozen years of his lite the sometime philanthropist. en-
buster, and released convict. lived peaceably In obscurity.
If he sinned grievously, he also suffered cruelly ; those who
on 1101,1 read that stern lesson most profitably amid the
errors of the living, will also look back with the most
eharital to thought for the duad ; and even those whom he
most wronged may learn with satisfaction that he died
neither friendless nor m gaol.

A correspondent sends the following to the Daily
Mr-omph :
Encouraged by your humane and touching article, on the
ribject or the decease of one of the partners of a banking
Min some years since notorious for its delinquencies, I
venture, on behalf of one once well known to me, "the
jollier partner.- to ask Nun to correct a mistake in the state-
cent ot his having died in Nlillbank Prison. The unfortunate
litleinan the subject of this letter may yet be living, and
respected, as he once was lie had but recently become a
• partner in the firm when the frauds for which he, with his
partners, were sentenced were detected, so generally MO
tirmly was it believed that he was but unconsciously
implicated in the crime, that efforts were made for his
release, mid ultimately met with succesa
Concerning this fact, 1 recall the following anecdote, re-
lated to me by Mr. E-- J—, his eminent counsel, Ale
sorbed in a case involving life or death in its results on the
morrow. I sat, one Sunday morning, in the obscurity of a
London back library, weighing the components, when a per-
son was annolinced whose statue I ill tt heed, and whose
tread Wa3 sit nmffied and quiet that los entrance was unper-
ceived until he stood beside me. I started to my feet. It
was all apparition so wan, so hopelessly sad, with so lack-
lustrous an eye, no languid and despairing, and yet so capti-
vating in its earnest recognition of myself, that I confess to
a momentary awe. Slowly the spell was broken by a weak,
ludlow voice, that murmured rather than spoke, ' Don't you
know me, sir? taut Mr. It—. just released from Poitonville.
its first act is to come here and thank and bleu you for your
kid and successful efforts in my Malt.' had a tomb un-
tenanted itself I could not have been more astonished,' was
my reply. 'A tomb, sir?' said the already tilt:animated stints;
• for that ht's fervently have I not prayed in exchange for
the indescribable horrors and degradations of the discipline,
and the privations and nionet.Ony of the cell from which, by
the untiring efforts of my friends, 5 am released.'"

THE IRON TRADE.

Wi ,LVERFIAMPTON Trednesiliy.

There was less animation on 'Change here to-
day than we had to report a week ago. The at-
tendance was neither so numerous nor so influ.
ential as then, and there was a smaller amount
of business done in all departments. Com-
plaints were rife that conspicuous notices of the
trade of South Staffordshire, which began to
reappear with a well known name attached, have
had the effect of leading the men to.believe that
, there has set in an improvement of a character
to justify an advance in the declared price of
iron, and consequently in workmen's wages,
whereas, there is no valid ground for any such
conclusion. Such an improvement may by and
by arise, and the present condition of affairs is
tending to it; but any advance just now would,
it is assert with much positiveness, nip the an-
ticipated prosperity in the bud. Most of the
hands are pretty well employed; but there is not
so much iron leaving the distriet now as there
was last week.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO LUCERNE.

A pleasant and interesting scene took place at
Lucerne on the Saturday previous to the Queen's
departure. A society of male glee singers,
under the conductorship of Mr. Gustave Arnold,
(a gentleman well-known in the musical circles of
Manchester, which town he left about three years ago),
hail intimated to Her Majesty's principal attendant
their desire of giving a serenade in her honour before
she left the place. A reply haying been received that
the intended demonstration would be graciously ac
cepted, the singers, twenty-four in number, mustered
about half-past eight o'clock on an adjoining hill, called
the Ontsch, whence they walked in silent procession
to the Queen's residence, known by the name of
"Pension Wallis.'' rhey carried in their hands
coloured lamps of various hues and designs, improvised
for the occasion. Her Majesty was understood to
have just returned by steamboat from an excursion to
the neighbouring Seelisberg, when the serenaders
arrived at their destination and a-ranged themselves
under her windows. The full moon rose at that
moment over the top of Rigi Kulm, and in the calm of
a mild and beautiful autumn night the first song was
intoned, "How charming are the hours of even," a
composition of Mozart. This was followed by a
German four part version of "Home, sweet home," and
then by Mendelssohn's " Der frohe Wandersmann."
The Queen asked for a repetition of the first and third
numbers, and expressed her desire that the programme
should be lengthened by the addition of two or three
Swiss national airs. Her wish has ing been forthwith
complied with, and the president as well as the musical
conouctor of the society having personally received Her
Majesty's thanks, the party silently withdrew over the
hill.. On the " Gutsch" they found a supper served
for them by the Queen's orders, and Her Majesty's
health was drunk by the republicans with all due
enthusiasm.

A HARD CASE.

At the divisional petty SYSBiIIIIB at Thorpe, Essex, on
.liloiday, George Haalatn, aged sixty, by trade a
journeyman bricklayer, of St: Osyth, was summoned
for non-payment of 13 lie., arrears under a justice's
order, calling upon him to pav 2s. per week towards
the support of his grandchildren. The information
was laid by Mr. Mustard, who is clerk to the hoard
of guardians as well as clerk to the bench.

The defence was inability to pay. liaalam said his
earnings as an old man were very precarious ; that
he already maintained one grandchild, the offspring of
a son who had been drowned; that he was now in ;
debt Ui consequence of attempting to keep up the pay-
ments ; and he put in an influentially signed memorial
expressing an opinion that the man was unable to pay
2,, per week. It also appeared that some months ago
an executi.oi was put into the man's house, but his
go sis were not worth 308., and rather than the poor
obi man should go to prison a friend lent him the
bouncy to pay the execution out. Defendant now
submiasively prayed the magistrates to show a merciful
consideration towards him, for he assured them that
he should lie glad to support all his grandchildren if
Ice had the means of doing so,
The Chairman (Mr. Nichols) said he considered the
tinier was not out of proportion to the defendant's
means, and the amount, with lUs. costs, must be paid,
or in default execution would issue. Another defendant,
whose wages were 13-1. per week, with a sick wife to
maintain, was ordered to pay Is. per week towards
supporting a mother, and lOs. colts.

IMPORTANT FISHERY CASE.

On Saturday a case of great importance to fishermen
in tidal parts of navigable rivers was before the county
magistrates at Carlisle, in which David Linton, fisher-
man, of Longburgh, was prosecuted for fishing with a
fixed t ngine, called a haaf net," or "half net," in a
tidal part of the river Erie!n. The action was brought by
the lessees of Lord Lonsdale's Eden fisheries, and the
point at issue was whether the halfnet was a fixed engine
or not within the meaning of the Salmon Fisheries
Act. Conflicting evidence having been adduced at
previous Courts, the net itself wits on Saturday brought
into court in order to assist the magistrates in making
their decision. It is composed of a thick horizontal
pole, pendant from which are three short, slender poles,
one in the paddle, and one at each end, and to this
framework the net is attached. When fished the three
short poles are placed in the water and held in a per-
pendicular position by the ligrirman on the sand of the
tideway On the part of the prosecution it WM con- .
tended that the Isles were inserted in the ground at '
the bottom of the river and thus became fixed. The
defendant, however, argued that the poles were not in-
serted in the soil but merely rested upon it. and that
the engine could nut be fine I, inasmuch as the man
using it had to lift it whenever it was struck by a fish.
Moreover, he contended that it was necessary to move
the net every two or three minutes as the tide ebbed or
flowed. lerable difference of opinion arose among
the magistrates as to whether the engine was a fixed
engine or not, and, as they found themselves unable to
come to a unanimous decision, it was arranged that
the Special Salmon Fishery Commissioners should be
requested to hold a special Court to determine the
matter.

Seniors EARTH SLIP.—On Wednesday afternoon a
crowning in of a rather serious nature occurred on
the premises occupied by Mr. Thomas Roberts, iron-
monger, of Dixon's Green. The !loose and garden laud
is surrounded by a wall, and the .lip occurred on MD side
nearest to Dixon's Green. The earth opened to a con-
siderable depth, and at the widest part of the chasm the
opening was quite 12 feet across. The garden wall won
in one part literally left hanging, and the house is coil-
siderably damaged at one corner by theslip. Some 30
years ago an extensive slip occurred sonio 400 yards
away, on land belonging to the late Mr. Thomas Badger,
and on that occasion a volume of fire was emitted, which
remained burning for some days. The cause of the pre-
sent slip, so near the centre of the town, and on ground
supposed to be invuleerable to the mining operations of
the district, has caused considerable anxiety to the dwel-
lers in the immediate district.

FORGERY.-SINGULAR RECOVERY AND
CAPTURE.

The Tiverpool stipendiary, Mr itaMes, has had to deal
with the hauwing very remarkable ease
•

.....
On Thursday Mr. Shortis, a cattle salesman of
Liverpool, was in the North awl South Wales Bank
when a respectably-dressed man entered aud presented
a cheque for £95 10s. awl received the money. When
he had left the bank the clerk informed Mr. Shortis
that the cheque just paid was Ime of his, and Mr.
Shortis, expressing surprise, asked to look at it. Ulatn
its being clown to him he pronounced his signature
to be a forgery. The police were at once apprised of
the matter, and bills printed giving the numbers of
the notes which the clerk had paid over. The same
evening two detective officers, who called at a public-
house in Dale-street, noticed that the barman was
reading one of the bills. In jest one of the officers
said to him, "I suppose you will have sonic of those
notes here?" The barman replied, "By Jove. I think
I have !" and looking in his drawer found a 250 note
answering the description of one noticed in the bills.
He stated that the note had been brought to him by a
person named Watkins to get changed, and that
'Watkins was to call that evening for part of the
change. The officers, delighted at their good fortune,
awaited Watkins's return, and apprehended him.
He stated that he received the note from a person
named Owens, and speedily Owens also was arrested.
The whole of the money, with the exception of about
45., was recovered. It is supposed that Watkins found
the cheque, as he was employed in the same building
where Mr. Shortie has his office, and had had a
duplicate key of Mr. Shortis's room. Owens was
the man who presented the cheque at the bank. Both
men were brought up on Saturday, and committed for
trial at the assizes.

A SCOTCH BISHOP ON DIS-
ESTABLISHMENT.

The following is from the Bishop of Aberdeen's Charge,
September 11, ianS
It .hPeeS not require any great sagacity to predict that
this kingdom and this Church are on the eve of great
changes. In our position we who may be spared for a
abort time will be able to look quietly on, our Church
having, centuries ago, passed through these very
changes, which seem now to he inuMnent to the reli-
gi4,llS establishments of this land. We have passed
through the storm which swept away from us all osr
earthly things. But it co hi not affect the Divine
authority of the Chun. and during the quiet I,f
sue-reeling years the t 'hotrod' has gradually been reco-
vering from her depression, and now that we have seer-
vive.l our evil days, n hen I Meek around I, formic, do not
regret that our Chureh is free, and dependent upon the
zeal andlove oof her faithful members. I believe, brethren,
if we continue to labour earnestly in faith, and in
walk in the rite media, upholding Catholic dogma,
which is evangelical truth, and avoiding either, in
ritual or otherwise, things which hitherto have been
considered Roman Cathodic, there is a great future for
011 r Church. When the threatening storm conies, it
cannot touch us, except in our sympathy with those
affected, who are in comimmion with us. But we
may do good to them—our suffering patience and con-
stant witness to certain principles may be an examide;
our organisation may be a guide, and our increasing
prosperity may he an encouragement to Churches who
have to depend Olsen their divine constitution, in the
promises of Good, and the alms of the faithful, instead
of the authority of human law, and the favour af
earthly princes.

ANOTHER COLLISION ON THE
CHESTER & HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.

ABERIIIELE, Wednesday night.
To-day another collision occurred on the Ches-
ter and Holyhead Railway, at a place very near
to the scene of the dreadful calamity which hap-
pened the other day at Abergele. This newly-
reported accident is like the other in this, that
an express train ran into a luggage train which
was being shunted. It appears that the 2.40
p.m. express train from Chester was passing
through the station at Holywell, when it came
. into collision with a number of luggage trucks

REMONSTRANCE WITH RAILWAY

What now, a, viol wroth, dear friends,
Seeing you may telt combine.
With a view to dividends,
Leagued in concert, line with line,
Do you wish to raise your fares
To their greatest legal height,
Give yourselves vexatious airs,
And the Public try to spite?
Cease, beloved, cease all aim
So unlovely to pursue;
Play not such a little game,
Lest I have to weep for you!
Think. when bribery checked at length
By the might ,if Law we see.
What will yours and Mammon's strength
In the House of Commons be?
Then may sn impatient State
Railways, you and all who share,
Force to sell, at such a rate
As itself shall reckon fair.
Why not, if the general weal
Sacriace of you demand,
Sweet ones, since you did not steal
When you forced the sale of land?
Law, for yell, did lord and 'squire,
At a price within set bounds,
Hideous cuts to yield require
Through their old ancestral grounds.
Everywhere your eyesores stand,
Shaming hill, and dale, and wood.

If not sauce for gander too:

A VETERAN.

A young man named Mignonneau has been charged at
the Court if Correctional Police, Paris, with obtaining
money under false pretences from a Monsieur 'Alger.
On the prosecutor being called by the usher, a hearty,
hale old man advanced with a firm step, hat in hand,
and, to the question put to him, gave his name and
address in an audible tone. The President went on to
mire
What is your age t—N lately-eight years and a half, replied
tin. out mail, accentuating each word so as to render it more
marked.
oi express yourself very distinctly, and yet to see you so
healthy, with your fresh colour, Iright eyes, and assured
step, and to hear your clear voice, we think we haVe
you.—No ; what I say is quite exact. Vial have
only to count. I was born u the 6th slay, 1770 ; only
eighteen months are wanting to complete the century.
What are you?—l was formerly valet to M. Saint-Prix,
comedian in ordinary to the King, at the Theatre de la
Nation the Theatre Emma,oe was no called after 1792 .
Viii were then very young ; you must have had other
musters since?—teger with dignity Never, Sir. M. Saint
Prix left me sufficient to live on. When one has had such a
mast, one does not seek a second.
The President—Very well nab!. Now as to the facts. Do
you recognise the young man at the bar remember him
for an act which was not at all delicate. Ile pretended he

railing round the tomb of my wife, whom I hail the mis-
fortune to lose two months ago."
She was probably much younger than yourself?—Not
much ; there was only a difference of fifteen months between
on. I used to say to her, " Wait a little for me, and we will
go together." lint she got tired of the world before me.
Yon paid the money to the young man 7—Yes. but it Was
hot I who brought this charge. I hope you will slot punish

and give me istek my money. Such a thing has already
happened to my oww experience. M. Saint-Prix buds cook
wit., cheated hint ; he pardoned her, and she became an
"honest woman."

'rhe President complimented the old man on his
generous sentiments, hut, unfortunately, this was not
the first offence of the accused and the Trilamal in
consequence sentenced him to four months' imprison-
ment and 25f. fine.

THE LAST NOVELTY

A German gentleman living in the State of New
Jersey may claim the credit of the most extraordinary
invention ever brought before the notice of the public.
The American papers give a long account of it, and it
is necessary to say that the account appears to be well
substantiated. 'the inventor seems to be well known,
and his invention was tried in the presence of six hun-
dred spectators. His name is Vester. Filled with the
idea that many persons are buried alive, Mr. Vester
has constructed what he calls a safety coffin. It is
larger than au ordinary coffin, and under the head is
" a receptacle for refreshments and restoratives." The
top part of the lid is moveable, and a box about two
feet square is carried from this lid to about a foot
above ground, where it would appear like a chimney.
The top of the tube or pipe is covered with a lid
opined by a spring inside, and just below it is a bell
connected with a cord. If the cord is pulled the bell
rings, and the spring throws back the cover of the
chimney. Cleets are nailed to the side of the box;
and if the person in the coffin chooses, he can
mount on a sort of ladder to the top and get
out to the open air. "Or otherwise," says the des-
cription of this wonderful contrivance, "the indi-
vidual can rest at ease, munch his lunch, drink
the wine, and ring the bell for the sexton to
come and assist him out." Mr. Venter tested his
invention by permitting himself to be buried alive. A
grave, six feet deep, was dug, and the inventor got
into the coffin. The band played a dirge, wreaths of
flowers were laid upon the coffin, and in a quarter of
an hour Mr. Vester was "effectually buried." He
was to have remained in the grave two hours ; hut the
crowd became impatient, and after the lapse of an
hour and a quarter the signal for his reappearance
was given by one of his assistants. "A minute after,
Mr. Vester, unaided, stepped out of hisliving grave,
with no more perceptible exhaustion than would have
been caused by walking two or three blocks under
the hot sun."

A MYSTERY.

The Ardroaxatt and Saltenats Herald tells a rather extra-
ordinary story if the "deeds of a night '' at the coait lately,
which is in effect as follows—

At or about half-past eight o'clock in the evening, a
few weeks ago, a lady sent a messenger to the "White
Hart Hotel," Largs, directing that a cab be sect out
to Northfield-road immediately, and that she would
walk leisurely along the road till the cab would over-
take her. was done, and the lady told cabby to
drive to the Wemyss Bay 'Railway Station. He
replied that it WAN too late to get a train there, and
she directed him to drive on to Greenock. There was
no stoppage on the way, except at the four tolls on the
route, and these were paid by the lady herself. On
I arriving at Brachelston Toll, about a mile from
Greenock, a little after eleven o'clock, the driver dis-
mounted to ascertain where he was to take the lady
to, when she informed him that since entering
the cab she had given birth to a fine live baby,
and wanted to be taken to a private house in
the town. Cabby was astonished, and after re•
covering his breath, he told her he did not know of
a private house in the town, but that he could take
her to an hotel, She agreed to this, and he drove her
to the "White Hart," in Cathcart street, where she
paid the fare and handed him a pound note. She WM
well cared for at the hotel, and she paid the servants I
liberally, and " tipped" the professional guinea to a
medical man who flail been called in to see her. She
remained a few days at the hotel, and at her request a
nurse was procured for the baby, to whom she gave
P2O. She was most careful all the time to conceal her
name ; and at the end of three days, being most
anxious, as she said, to prosecute her journey to
Carlisle, whither she was going, she left by the train,
having previously promised to write occasionally and
send money for the maintenance of the child. Nothing
more was heard of her, and the chill died in about a
fortnight. The nurse, of course, called on the registrar
for the East Parish of Greenock, to register the death,
but neither the name nor parentage of the child could
she give, and the matter had consequently to be placed
the hands of the authorities for elucidation. A
'lumber of persons have been examined, lint the lady
was unknown to them, and the driver of the cab can
tell nothing more about her than what is recorded
above. Thus the matter rests, and thus, to all appear-
ance, it will remain.

SLAUGHTER OF BLACKS.

News from Carpentariaannounees the murder of Mr. W.
Manson, •slice inspector of police in Queensland,) with a
Chinese companion, by the blacks. How the murder was
avenged is related by a correspondent of a Brisbane paper as
ollows :
I much regret to state that the blacks have become
very troublesome about here lately. Within ten miles !
of this place they speared and cut steaks from the
rumps of several horses. As soon as it was known the
native police, under Sub-inspector Uhr, went out, and I
I am informed succeeded in shooting upwards of thirty
blacks. No sooner was this dde than a report came
in that Mr. Cannon had been murdered hy blacks at
Liddle and Iletzer's station, near the Nerleall. Mr.
Uhr went off immediately in that direction, and his
success I hear was complete. One mob of fourteen he
rounded up; another mob of nine, and a last mob of
eight, he succeeded with his troopers in shootia,f. In
the latter It there was one black who would not die,
after receiving eighteen I sr twenty bullets, but a trooper
speedily put an end to his existence by smashing his
skulk In the camp of the last lot of blacks Mr. Uhr
found a compass belonging to Mr. Manson, of the
Norman, and a revolver belonging to a Chinaman. lie
then followed the tracks of the sheep Manson and the
Chinaman had a short time before passed with, and in
a waterhole found the bodies of poor Manson and the
Chinaman cut about and mutilated in a most frightful
manner. Cannon's Pody has also been found. Every-
body in the district is delighted with the wholesale
slaughter dealt out by the native police, and thank
Mr. Uhr for his energy in ridding the district of fifty-
none inyalls.
