COIINT DI RUDIO IN NOTTINGHAM.—On Thursday
evening.- Count Rudio (so well known as being con-
nected with the late attempt to assassinate the Emperor
of the French) gave a lecture at the Assembly-rooms,
gottltighant Mr. Clark presided. The Count gave a
detailed history of the torlspittcy in which he had-been

We hear from Gotha that the ducal palace of Rhein-
hartsbrunn is being prepared for the reception of Queen
Victoria, whose arrival is expected at the 'beginning of
the autumn. Her Majesty, it is said, will spend a week

will have an opportunity of renewing the impressions of
his youth. The spot is celebrated both for the exquisite
architecture of the 'mansion and_the beauty of the sur-
rounding grounds.
The late Mr. Joseph Mayer, of Hanley, Staffordshire,
whose death took place last week, has left upwards of

DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES FOR
CANADA. —We read in the Piymoath Journel,—" His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will arrive in Ply-
mouth on Monday. The Hero, in which his Royal
Highness is to embark, is lying in the Sound. The
Ariadne has also arrived. The channel squadron may
not come till the day before the Prince is to embark.
The Rifle Volunteers of -the 'eastern division of Corn-
wall have solicited and obtained permission to be present
at the Prince's embarkation, and form a guard of honour
as representatives of the county from which his Royal
Highness derives his title of duke."
ARCHERY.—The great toxopholite gathering, which
has been held at Bath during the present week, and was
brought to a close on Friday evening, has been, taken
altogether, one of the most successful and satisfactory
yet held by the National Society. The weather has been
splendid ; the assemblage of archers, both ladies and
gentlenleti, the largest yet known ; and though the
shooting has not, especially with the " celebrities," been
up to the average, it has exhibited on the part of the
"middle people " an amount of precision which will
make the " dons " look anxiously to their laurels.
Nearly every leading archery club in the kingdom has
been well represented at this meeting._
SINGULAR ACCIDENT TO AN M.P.--The Carlisle.
rateiot Says :—The friends of Mr. Steel, M.P. for
Cockermeuth, will regret to hear that he has met with
an accident in London, which precludes his further
attention -to Parliamentary duties during the short
remainder of the session. On the evening of Wedne:-
day week, while quietly crossing Pall Mall from the
'Reform Club, to his appartments nearly opposite, be,
not being-aware of any violent cause, snapped the tendon
itchilles—the strong tendon of the heel. Tho sensation
was' as if some one had suddenly struck him from behind.
Of course, he is at present unable to move about with-
out the assistance of a crutch ; and some time must
necessarily elapse before the natural use of his limb can
be restored, if ever restored effectually.
THE MOORISH AHBASSADORS.—Captain Lynch, of
the Indian navy, and- Mr. J. Drummond Hay, brother
of the British consul it Tangier, both of whom are
perfectly conversant with Arabic, accompanied the
Moorish Embassy to Woolwich on Saturday, and acted
as the medium of conversation between the 'authorities
and the Moorish visitors, the whole of whom, with one-'
_exception, are totally unacquainted with a syllable of
our language. While examining the Armstrong gun
factory, in consequence of his Excellency's too near
approach to the dripping metal,- a portion of his rich
garment, evidently of a most inflammable nature,
suddenly' took fire, and was seriously damaged. On
Saturday, the Lord Mayor announced that the munifi-
cent sum of £2OO had been placed in his hands by the
Moorish Ambassador, Said Mohammed Shamee, for
charitable purposes.

WILLS AND Beounsrs.—The will of General Sir
Willoughby Cotton, G.C.8., K.C.H., formerly Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Bombay Presidency, General in
her Majesty's Army, and Colonel mf the 32nd Regiment,
was proved in London on the 19th of June by his son,
Colonel Corbet Thomas Cotton, the surviving executor.
The personalty was sworn under £50,000. He has
left to his relict, the Right Hon. Lady Augusta Mar-
garet, all his furniture, .plate, carriages, and horses,
absolutely, and a life interest in the rest of his pro-
perty ; and at her decease it is to be divided equally
between his said son and his only daughter, Augusta
Mary, the relict of Colonel Henry Vaughan Brooke, C.B.
and for her children.—The will of Sir Jamsetjeo
,Tejeebhoy, Bart., the renowned merchant Prince of
India, who died on the 14th April, 18.59, at hiAresidence
at Bombay, at the age of 77, was proved in London on
the 21st of June, 1860, by his eldest son, Sir Cursetjee
iamsetre Jeieehhoy, Bart., one of his executors, the
deceased having property in this country, which has
been estimated for probate duty at £lB,OOO. The will
was first proved in the Supreme Court at Bombay, on
the 4th August last, by his three sons, as executors.
The deceased's relict, Dowager Lady Jejeebhoy, is
executrix, but is not acting. The will, bearing date 9th of
April, 1853, is in English. He bequeaths to his wife, Dame
Awahoye Jejeebhoy, a furnished residence and all her
acquired property, and requests that she will dispose of
her "joys and jewels" to her children, one half to her
daughter, and the other half equally among 'her three
sons; and he also leaves her a sum of 200,000 rupees.
To his only daughter (besides his former bestowals upon
her) he leaves a sum of 100,000 rupees, and to his eldest
son (the baronet) he leaves 300,000, and an equal share
with his two brothers in the entire residue. There is a
legacy of 50,000 rupees to his sister, and legacies to friends
and others connected with him in his public pursuits.
We make some extracts from a codicil or directions in
the Gugrati writing, in native characters, and which
is very peculiar. It commences with these words •--
"The aid of the holy Hormazi is vouchsafed." His
charitable and religious fund, consisting of 22.5,000
rupees, he leaves in the hands of his sons, but it is not to
he distributed at once, or in large sums, but as occasion
requires; and "when after me" prayers are offered, he
leaves 10,000 rupees, the interest to be given to the blind
and decrepid; the betrothment and marriage of chil-
dren to be retained as much as possible in the family ; to
he sparing of ornaments and jewellery, as they lie idle.
The "fire temples" established by him to be kept up
and supported annually. The Ghikwar Government
having made a tax upon all foreigners in Norsari, he
desires that means are to be taken to obtain a repeal,
which had been set on foot by him. All people in his
establishments—servants and others, clerks in his offices,
sepoys, gardeners, Mussuls, and Parsees—are to be
" cared for." All things he leaves to the discretion and
judgment of his eons. The decorations presented to
him by her Majesty Queen Victoria and all other
presents and tokens from public bodies he leaves to his
eldest son, to be kept as heirlooms.—The late William
Gibson, Esq., of Chipping Omar, Essex, who has died
possessed of £20,000 personalty, has left the following
bequests :--To the Church Pastoral Aid Society and to
the Church Missionary Society, £l,OOO each ; and to
the British and Foreign Bible Society, £500,—11/us-

During the first seven months that horse railroads
have been allowed to run through the streets of Cincin-
nati, they hare carried 1,900,000 passengers, and
yielded the city a revenue of $l9 000—a sum sufficient
to keep the public avenues in the best order.
A SHORT SERMON.—" Frank, why don't you come
after cold victuals, as usual?" said a lady to a boy who
had fora long time been a daily visitor for that species
of charity. "Father has joined the temperance society,
sad we have.warm victuals now," was the reply.
'AVbile the Japanese were at Baltimore they were

their recovery. •

A new religious sect, styled tin " Soul Sleepers," has
remntly made its appearance at Fairfield, lowa, where
four men and a woman, apostles of the_ sect, have been
staying for a short time. They are opposed to churches,
deny the divinity of our Saviour, teach that the soul is a
material substance, and that it sleeps with the .body
until the resurrection.

EASILY GRATIFIED.—The Japanese embassy have
expressed a wish to take home with them a full dress of
an American lady, to show to their countrymen. They
will find it very easy to obtain one, and the wearer too.
It is no uncommon thing, among us barbarians, in
making transfers of property, to saddle it with an

In Portland, Maine, they have an officer styled the
" Truant officer," whose duty, as his name imports, is
to arrest all truants from the schools during school hours,
and return them to their duties. The arrangement is
said to work remarkably well ; much to the satisfaction
of parents, and also to the residents of the town, who
like quiet and order. In one of the schools the attend-
ance among the boys has increased about twelve per
cent. since the creation of the new office.

Old Governor Stuyvessant, some years after the
British took possession of New York, appeared before
the British Governor (Carteret) with a complaint that
he was annoyed by men and boys bathing in front of his
house in a nude state. Governor Carteret assured him
that it should be stopped; but happening to recollect,
he said, " Why, Governor, your house is at some dis-
tance from the river, and how can it incommodate the
ladies of your family ?" " 'Cy, you zee," said old Peter,
shaking his cane, " mine gals have gat a big spy-glass."

A CONTINUOUS RAILROAD FROM MAINE TO
:LOUIS/Al:A.—The gap in the Mississippi railroad is
finished, and the connection through to New Orleans is
now complete. The time between New Orleans and
Philadelphia by this route will be only eighty hours.
By the completion of this link, there is now a continuous
railroad from Bangor, Maine, to New Orleans, except
Hires short ferries at Hudson River, the Susquehanna
and the Potomac rivers. This vast chain of railways is
composed of eighteen independent roads, costing in the
aggregate, for 2,344 miles of road, $52,395,084, or
nearly one-tenth of the whole railway system in the
United States, of which 1993 miles -are used in this
continuous line.

A Western genius lately conitii!cted a wind waggon
to bear him to Pike's Peak, which has realised his most
sanguine expectations—carrying him through in twenty
days. Encouraged by this success, other parties in the
same town set about the construction of the same kind
of waggons, and a party of eight started out on the
prairies to try one which had been finished. The wind
was blowing a gale at the time, and everything worked
to a charm. The occupants. gliding swiftly over the
prairies, were delighting themselves with anticipation
of a speedy and comfortable trip to the mines, when the
velocity of the vehicle created a lively alarm for their
safety. The waggon sped onward before the driving
wind faster, until the axletrees broke and deposited
them all on the ground, and in a somewhat damagzd
condition from broken heads, bruised limbs, and bodies.
The speed of the machine is said to have been forty
miles per hour.

MAL/MOT:3 Cownucr az Sr. PIE.—On Friday last,
at midnight, the house of Peter Bacicot, a habitant of
the parish of St. Pie, near Quebec, was forcibly entered
by six men unknown to him, who rushed upon him, and
inflicted several wounds upon his head, face, and other
parts of his body. They then proceeded to bind him
hand and foot with cords. His hair was then clipped as
short as possible by the ruffians, who manifested their
brutal ferocity by mangling his hands with their teeth
in the most shocking manner. In this helpless condi-
tion Racient was dragged from his house some two miles,
and there tied naked to a past with his head downward.
Some time afterwards, one or two of his friends fortu-
nately happening to pass that way rescued him from his
painful position. The cause of all this brutal treatment
was the simple fact that Racicot had informed against
one of the ruffians for selling liquor without license.
We understand, however, that the authorities have dis-
covered the guilty parties, who ere this time have pro-
bably been arrested.
Bamitaar YOUNG.—WO learn from the Philadelphia
papers, that the Great Tycoon of Utah, the Lord of the
Desert, as he is hyperbolically called, is temporarilly
dwelling in that city. The Inquirer of Saturday last
says of him :—Unambitious of popularity with the
unbelieving, and shrewdly doubting that his public
reception would be otherwise than "warm," he has
been flourishing incognito. A tall, slender gentleman
stalked into the billiard-room at the Point Breeze Trot-
ting Park, and joined in a friendly game with one of
the subscribers. Ho did not refuse the customary
imbibition of the ardent, and behaved in a very satis-
factory Christian manner. The " Subscriber " will
thank us for assuring him that the tall, slender gentle-
man was Brigham Young. And many unconscious
citizens have met the same tall, slender man, in many
places. He is introduced as Mr. Smith, or Mr. Jones,
as occasion may be required—but is, nevertheless, only
King Brigham. We shall shortly reveal some of the
adventures of the distinguished stranger in this city.
Till then, let all who go wandering look about them,
and remember that "We have a Brigham amongst
us :"
