In compliance with a suggestion contained in a letter

formation for the purpose of collecting a fund for the
erection, in Trinity College, Cambridge, of a statue of
the late Lord Macaulay.
THE PAI`ER DUTIES.--A public meeting of the inha-
bitants of the metropolis will be held to-morrow at St.
Martin's-hall, to protest against the usurpation of the
privileges of the Commons, proposed by Lord Monteagle
and Lord Derby, in their motion to retain the paper
duties by the authority of the House of Lords, indepen-
dent of the Hoase of Commons and the Crown.
The Times contrasts the appointments to the two
vacant colonelcies, in last night's Gazette, one of the
general officers appointed being Inglis, the defender of
Lucknow, and the other, Major-General the Hon.

harles Grey, who has never had the advantage of any
more distinguished service than is seen in Hyde Park
of at Windsor, as equerry to the Queen.

BANKRUPTCIES IN FOUR MONTHS.— In the four
months ending the 30th ult., 322 bankruptcies were
gazetted in England. Of these 14 took place in the
Liverpool district, 12 in the Manchester, 65 in the Bir-
mingham, 38 in the Leeds, 29 in the Bristol, 17 in the
Exeter, 10 in the Newcastle, and 137 in the London.

This total of 322 would give an aggregate of 966 for the
current year, while in 1859 the number gazetted was

COLLISION ON THE EDINBURGH, PERTH, AND DUNDEE

RAILWAY.—On Tuesday, about half-past twelve o'clock,
a serious collision took place on this line at the goods
station at Kirkcaldy. It appears that a train with
trucks filled with lime was proceeding at a slow pace
from the north, and was succeeded by another train
conveying cattle and sheep, but travelling at a greater
speed, when the latter ran into the former, causing a
collision of a most disastrous description, fortunately,
however, without the sacrifice of human life. Several
of the trucks were thrown into the air, others were
driven across to the north side of the rails, while a
number were overturned on the top of each other, and
smashed to splinters. The rails were torn up, and the
engine and tender considerably damaged. The engineer
had one of his arms brcketi. One sheep was killed, and
several cattle were much injured. Other descriptions of
goods were strewn about in all directions. For some
time traffic was at a standstill, the south part of the line
being completely blocked up.
ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A MAN BY HIS SWEETHEART.
—On Wednesday, before the Birmingham magistrates, a
respectably-dressed young woman, named Mary Turner,
was charged with having, on the previous evening, shot

at Wm. White, fendermaker, Barn-street, with intent

to murder him. The case was a very sad one. White,
it seemed, had " kept company" with- the prisoner
for eighteen months, and had, about Christmas last,
under promise of marriage, seduced her. A few
weeks back, however, he told her he did not think he
should marry her, and justified his determination by a
most disgusting allegation, involvirig• an imputation
on her character, which she p L-sionately denitd at the
time, and which there is now every reason to believe
was untrue. She then purchased a pistol, powder, and
shot, and declared she would shoot him, but White
pacified her, and their intercourse continued to be
tolerably friendly in its character. On Tuesday night,
however, he told her that he thought he should be
married to another girl in alma weeks. Shortly after-
wards, while be was in the yard adjoining his lodgings,
the poor girl rushed upon him and fired a pistol
she had in her hand, the charge lodging in his left
side. Owing to the interposition of the ribs, the wound
did not prove a serious one, though a surgeon
extracted forty or fifty shots from under the skin. OR
being charged with the attempted murder, the young
woman said, " I have done it, and will do it again, if I
get fifteen years for it." From the evidence of the
woman with whom the prisoner lodged, it appeared that
White had occasionally beaten the girl and behaved to
her with great cruelty. She was described as well-
conducted and industrious, and her behaviour in court,
as compared with the callous indifference of the fellow
who had ruined ber, excited the sympathy of all. The
bench committed her for trial at the assizes, and she
was removed from tne uocx in It tainting state:
A STRANGE RAILWAY PARCEL—A dray was driven
to the office of Adams's Express Company, Cherry-
street, and a large dry-goods box rolled out up.m the
pavement. The box was addressed Mrs. Margaret
M. Thompson, care of Levin Coffin, Cincinnati, Ohio."
no driver stated that he was ordered to deliver it to the
agent of the company, and -request him to have it for-
warded as addressed without delay. He then collected
the drayage, and informed the agent that the person sens-
ing it would call round; pay carriage, and get a receipt.
The weight of the box was 265 lb. The driver of the
dray—or of the horse attached to the dray—then very
innocently remarked, " Master, dat's de curiosest box I
ever saw ; for every time I roll it over the heavy side
come down." The agent thought it a curious box too;
:but time Was pressing, and. he sent it down to the depot
of the Lpuisville and Nashville Railroad, whence it
departed on .the first train. What could it contain ?
*What had Mrs.' Thompson been getting in Nashville ?
Who could she be ? . And who was Mr. Coffin ?
The swift-winged express did not wait to ask these
questions. Tt bore the 'curious box along towards
its destination, and in due time landed it at Leuisville.
Here it was hastened over to Jeffersonville and hurried
on to Seymour. At Seymour another change of
cars was necessary, and as the box was hastily rolled
from the Jeffersonville to the Cincinnati and. St. Louis
train, the top accidentally came off, and out popped—
what? For the life of you you couldn't guess. A
startled crowd gathered round to see, and, to their sur-
prise, it turned oat to be a full-grown negro man! Here
was a discovery in which there was something of the
serious aid a little more of the ludicrous. The negro
perspired hugely—his eyes rolled up and down like
one nearing the gate of . the hereafter—but, the
fresh air soon revived him. In changing the box
from the Louisville to the Jeffersonville cars it had
been turned up so that he was head downward, and
thus he made the trip from Jeffersonville to Seymour,
nearly fifty miles. But for the mishap at Seymour in a
few hours he might have been delivered in Cincinnati,
probably to be buried—probably to take a further trip
on the underground railroad Canadaward. The negro
Was taken back to Louisville. He belongs to Mr.
Newton M'Clure, of this-city, and was shipped by a
free negro named Nathan James. -Whether James had
any accomplices or not we are not informed. The matter
will be thoroughly sifted; and we suspect some agent of
the negro stealers will be found to have had a, hand in
t.—.2lrcisliville (enn.) Patriot.

lioLtow yes PlLLs.—Unusually hot weather in the summer
months is often productive of unpleasant consequenceb to
many. The liver, the stomach, and bowels, in such cases, ere
more or less seriously affected, so that the natives of England
are, at certain Fea,ons, liable to some of the disorders which
range in warm climates. People cannot have amore powerful
curative than Holloway's justly celebrated Pills. They cool
and purify the blood, and render the system less liable to any
sort of irregularity ; or, when distase is present, they abate its
force, and at last totally destroy it. Dysentery, billiousness,
acidity of stomach, sick headache, and debility soon disappear
before a course of the admirable rills.
