DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD.

On Wednesday afternoon a shocking accident
happened to a little boy, named Holland, aged fm!r•
He was playing near the tramway, on the QtukTi and •
truck coming up unperceived he was knocked down,
and the wheel crushed him in • moat fearful manner.
Oue side of the body has been dreadfully mutilated.
Dr. Philpots was called in to attend the poor little
fellow, and we understand has removed an arm, and
very much fear • leg will also have to be amputated.
It tab, be hoped the railway authorities s ill institute
a strict enquiry into this. There is no reason why a

under Drum-major Lucas, provided suitable music.
Dancing commenced at nine o'clock, and was kept up
with unflagging spirit till late in the morning. Much
praise is due to the few of the committee of manage-

Ma. S. J. WILD'I4 AFFAIRS. —At the Lonc'on Bank-
ruptcy Court, on Tuesday, this case was brom Olt before
Mr. Registrar Pepys, sitting am chief Judge, upon on
application to net aside a deed of assignment of the
bankrupt's interest in the Lulw• rth Castle estatea and
the Ilfracombe estates, now enjoyed by his brother,
, who is a lunatic. The bankrupt, who was adjudicated
a short time since, is described as of Crawley's Hotel.
Albemarle-street, London. He was entitled to the
reversionary interest in the Lulworth Cantle, Ilfra-
combe, and other estates enjoyed by his brother, whose
security he wax, he being a lunatic. In August last,
being in difficulties, he retired from the committeeship
and called his creditors together. At the meeting that
was held in consequence it VMS resolved that a deed of
assignment should be executed over the reversionary
Interest that the bankrupt possessed in the estates, and
on the 30th of August a deed was entered into assign-
ing and agreeing to assign his reversionary interest in
the property, with Mr. Hodges (Hume, Webster &
Co.) as trustee and a committee, the deed being signed
by 54 creditors, representing between £7,000 and
o,ooo.—Mr. Winslow, (.j.C., and Mr. Creol now
appeared for Mr. Tilley, the trustee; Mr. Yate Lee
appeared for the trustee of the deed.—Mr. Winslow
said he impeached the deed 011 two grounds—find, that
it was a fradulent conveyance of all his pioperty, and.
second, that it wax an act of bankruptcy. This deed
assigned the whole of his personal estate to certain of
the creditors to the exclusion of others, and as such
wag a fraud upon the general body of the crolitors.
whose total debts amounted to V 4,000. In this case
creditors for £7,000 or 1.11,000 were preferred out of a
total of 5..54,000, and moreover the debtor had divested
himself of every penny of his estate. Under these
circumstances he asked his Honour to set aside the
deed.—After hearing Mr. Yate Lee in reply, the
learned Registrar said that the deed was an assignment
of the whole of the estate for the benefit of a is)rtion
of the creditors, and being an assignment for £.15.000,
it was practically an assignment of the whole of the
trustees property and an act of bankruptcy. Ile.
therefore, declared the deed voii I as against the trustee
in bankruptcy. The motion was accordingly allowed,
with costs.

THE ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR

tato-ceded in their awful designs. After repeated
mtempts. the last anal the successful one being. perhaps,
the moat thistardly anal cruel, have the Russian Socialists
murdered their Emperor. Pew people ran fail to feel the
greatest sympathy with the family of the unfortunate
monarch. tar let him have been what he might in private
life, there is not the slightest doubt he was not much
more than a mero tool in the bands of a selteming
anal oppressive nobility. That the Nihilists intended
1.1 succeed is perfectly certain, anal all this
must have burdened and wearied the Emperor almost
beyond endurance, for shire the daring attempt at the
Winter Palace, his life has been nothing but a cinttin
antderfuge. an di, sit were.dodging from hint's/mashie ; but
1t... cruel anal inexorable murderers seemed only playing
with their victim, anal the fell stroke canna on Huntley,
when the poor, miserable Monarch fell shattered and
mortally wounded. The intelligenre has caused the
most painful sensation throughout the continent, and
will doubtless Renal a thrill aaf apprehension and fore-
boding through the minds of nil peareahle anal order.
loving peoph•. The prospect before the new Czar is a
dark anal terrible one, for it is almost impossible to
conjerture how deeply.rooted or how far into goriety
leas Nihilism extended. Beginning first with the
punishment of his father's murderers, let us hope tha
t`rar will do his best, earnestly and faithfully, to raise
his alowndredden anal unhappy people to their proper
level, anal this will be a far better anal a much more
effective means of dealing with the Nihilist anal
Socialistic tendencies of his rountrytnen, than all the
mines, prisons, and gallows in the world.

In spite of official contradictions, it iv pretty certainly
known that changes will take place etc long in the
Cabinet. The Whig and Radical elements managed to
square their differences upon Irish questions; but the
Transvaal affair presents a rock, on which a split is
almost certain. The opinion is (reedy expressed that
If the present armistice results in the yielding to the
Boers ef their demands, the fall of the Ministry is only
the question of a few weeks.

Sir ilenry Jackson's sudden death, just after his well.
earned promotion to the Bench, has caused quite a shock
amongst the Equity Bar, of which ho has been for some
time one of the most eminent members. A more kindly

find even in the Chancery Courts, where the same leaders
are habitually pitted against one another, and so grow

The Lime Wgergarr.—Thers is now on exhibition
at the Alexandra Nall, Clifton, the smallest boat that
ever crossed the Atlantic Ocean—viz., the American
dory Little Western, which started from Gloucester,
Massachusetts, and its; been ehown in London,
Brighten. and other of the principal towns of England.
The exhibition is an interesting one, and no doubt
many persons will take the opportunity of I mpecting
this little wonder while it remains in Clifton. The
little boat, which has a length of 161 t. Tin., beam 6ft.
Tin., acid a depth of 21t. 6i11., is cutter rigged. The
log of Mesa.. G. Norman, of Norway, and G.
Thomas, of Noes Sootia, the crow, give the following
particulars :—'' While serving on board the American
frigate Trenton last year (1879) the ides of crossing the
Atlantic in the smallest craft ever known to do so
entered our heads, and after having given it our
serious consideration, we decidel on making the
attempt as moon as our time on board the Trenton
expired. We returned to America early in January
this year (1880), and went down at once to Gloucester,
Mass., to see the welldrnown boat-building fi•m of
Messrs. Higgins and Gift v.l, ab nit the building of a
b oat far the projected voysge. We c sane to an agree-
ment with this firm ab eit having the host built early
in the spring, an I then started fir halifax, N. :t.
where we spent the winter with our frtouils. In the
latter end of May we left far Glatvester to start the
bulling of the boat, and in three weeks after it was
commenced ou- little craft—which we, ii contrast
with the biggest ship that ever Cr ...ad the Atlantic,
the Great Eastern, called the Little Western—was
all oat in the herb mri,f Glouceste . The craft, ready
for sea, woe us about OW, which was our savings
after a three years' cruise in th , American Navy. It
only took us a few days to ri.; her and get rowdy for
sea. The urxt thing to lo ee• tl -A was the appoint-
ment of • captain. A friend of our, proonsed we both
should go as captains. Thus the I.itle Western was,
and is still, commanded by the unusual no 'doer of two
captains, although by the following airangement there
was in fact only one captain at a time. Whoever was
at the helm was the captain in cominand for the time
being, while the other ha I to act as the craw. We
left Gloucester on the 12th of June, and on the 26th of
July we sighted the Lizard, having thus accomplished
the trip across the Atlantic in 43 days."
