A PROMISE TO PAY.

The War °flied is going to be a good boy, and pro-
mises not to cheat inventors out of the profits of their
inventions any more. An advertisement, that issues
from that department, requesting gu n make rs and others
to send in proposals for breech•loading rifles to replace
the present service rifles in future manufacture, con-
dudes with the following humiliating paragraph :
lhe Secretary of State will take care that no Ingenious
novelty produced In answer to this advertisement shall be
adopted into the service without proper acknoraledgment,
and that the name of the Individual with whom it originates
shall be recorded in connection with It.
If the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted
Into the service It will bear the Inventor's name

J ST. GE,RGE, alajor-Deneral, DLrector of Ordnance.

It seems that before the Secretary of State can hope
to receive tenders from ingenious inventors, he finds it
neceseary to assure them that, on this occasion, no
fraud whatever will be employed.
The concluding pledge that the accepted invention
will be known by the inventor's name seems rather
rash. There are such names as Bugg, Cockletop, and
Bogey to be found in the London Directory—CUM
muftis alas, which it were tedious now to write down.

intendence of the principal of the firm (Mr. R. West-
ford) exerted themselves in a BlOSlllleteWGl'thy manner,

TRINCESI.—At the Steurbridge Petty S.sisions, yesterday,
before J. Hoot, W. C. Firmstone, and It. L. Freer,
Esqrs., Susannah Itaggott, as servant girl, was charged
with obtaining a quantity of grocery goad a, the property
of Francis William Gower, under false pretences. Pro-
secutor said that he kept a grocer's shop, at Cradley.
On the 2:,th nit, the prisoner came to his ahoy and had

dolly Collier. She came again on the let jest, and had
some snore grocery goals, amounting to 9i 01. On the
Bth MA she esme and had a lot if other goods, amount-
ing to Its 100, which this also said wore for Mrs. West-

ANOTHER EXTRADITION CASE IN
CANADA.

A Ammitch from Itlontrua, dated Oct. 21, to the A-ma
Fork Herald, says :

Another extradition case will probably give rise to
some discussion between the Canadian and United
States governments. I have said nothing of it until I
could see how it was to end. John Paxton, a cooper
here, war charged with uttering forged promissory
notes to the amount of 70.000 dollars in the early part
of the summer of 1065, He fled to Chicago. It being
discovered where he war, a demand war made for his
extradition, and he WM delivered up. When he was
called to plead, his counsel objected that he was extra-
dited for forgery, and could not be tried for uttering
forged documents, the charge for which he was to be
tried. The arguments, affidavits, and legal machinely
have been working for ten days part 'I he Governor'
General',, warrant recited that be hal "uttered," 'cc,.
and it goes on to say that "whereas he has been guilty
of forgery, for which crime he is demanded." The
crown prosecutor contended this was a clerical error, and
that besides, the warrant is merely an order to the high
constable to receive the prisoner from the United
States authorities. Counsel for the defenue' on the
other hand, held that this was the demand on the
United States, and that on that demand for forgery
he was delivered up, end that therefore he could only
be tried for that specific crime. A jury was em-
panelled to try the fact of what crime he had been
extradited for, and it was decided for the defence. A
new trial was moved for by the crown, and to-day
three judges heard the case argued, and by a majority
decided that there could be no new trial, but that he
was to be arraigned on the charge of uttering, like
any other citizen taken here, ignoring the extradition
altogether. The prisoner protested against the whole
proceedings, and pleaded not guilty under protest,
and the trial is proceeding, and will be finished on
Monday. If found guilty, an appeal will, I have no
doubt, be made to Washington to claim protection
under the treaty of extradition. Hammy, the crown
prosecutor, moved to quash the rule against him for
contempt of court in the Lamirande case, objecting to
the jurisdiction of the court, which he maintains
could not issue a rule on a case not before it, The
decision is reserved.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE!

The Paris Tribunal of Commerce was on Thursday
the scene of one of thoee affecting incidents which
occur no rarely in real life, and which Balzac has de-
scribed so touchingly. M. Desjardins, an ornamental
metal worker, failed some twenty years ago with debts
amounting toloo,ooofr. He bad a wife, two SOUP, and
a daughter, and to support them and himself he again
became • workman. In this position be acquired his
master's confidence, became his partner, and finally
succeeded him in his business. One of his sons became
• braes founder, the other entered a manufactory of
chemicals. The daughter, when old enough to work.
became a sewing girl in the intervals that the care of
her blind mother left her. All laboured to the same
end, and on Thursday M. Desjardins appeared in the
Tribunal accompanied by all his creditors, Who had
, received the principal and interest of the sums due to
them, to demand his "rehabilitation." When the
formula which annulled his bankruptcy had been pro-
nounced by the president, unanimous shouts of ap-
plause broke out on every side, and if • hard-earned
joy Call compensate years of suffering M. Desjardins
will live a happy as well as a respected man.

A NOBLE DEED.

A noble service hen recently been performed by Mr.
Thomas donee, master of the stearo.tug Ely, of Cardiff,
in Paving with his vessel, daring the recent gales, nine
hovellers, who were in the greatest peril in the rig-
ging of the sloop Wool Packet, of Dartmouth, which
had stranded on Bideford-bar. Mr. William Yeo,
shipowner, of Bideford, who was an eye-witnesa of
the brave deed, says :

The crew of the vessel had abandoned her, and the two
boats' crews, consisting of nine men, afterwards hoarded
the wreck, with the view of trying to get her off the bar :
but when the tide rose, the lea broke heavily over the
vessel, and the men hoisted a lug of distress. The steam-
tug Ely, now hastened to the rescue, against • strong tide
and wi, d. Itefore. however, ahe could get near the wreck,
the nine men sere driven to seek refuge in the rig-
fag. The sea was breaking turf uliy In all direc-
tions, and the vessel rolling from side to side ; but
Captain Jones and his crew bravely proceeded through
the broken water at risk of their lives and vessel,
and succeeded la the first attempt in saving three of
the men. This was all that they could then accomplish,
for the sea was now breaking so furiously over the wreck
that the steamer was driven away, and the same want of
success attended • second and a third attempt to approach
the wreck. Inc captain then backed astern, and, with con-
summate
.skill. and, boldness, actually placed the steamer

directly niocenido -itie venter; rigging, with her bow over
the deck of the wreck, thus saving the six men in the rigging :
and within the abort space of two minutes the wreck had
actually disappeared, an,l was not seen afterwards
But for this bold and successful service nine widows
(for the nine rescued men were all married) and forty
fatherless children would now be lamenting the loes
of husbands and fathers. The National Lifeboat In-
stitution has presented to Captain Jones its silver
medal and 2/. and a copy of its vote on parchment,
framed in admiration of his noble and persevering
servioes. The institution also gave fit. to his crew
of eight men for their valuable co-operation on the
occasion.

A FEAST OF CORONERS!

We have another sacrifice to the aliniehtv dollar
(writes an American correspondent). J. H. Vonbeck
was the owner of a turning shop in St. Louis. Last •
week one of Vonbeck's employes told Vonbeck that
the boiler of the engine used in the works was unsafe.
Vonbeck laughed. On Wednesday evening the boiler
exploded, destroying a block of buildings. Thirty
persons were buried in the ruins. Fourteen dead
dies had been removed, when the debris took fire,
and some of the poor wretches under the ruins were • •
burned alive—a great crowd, impotent to save, within
hearing of their dying shrieks, Vonbeck is now in ,
prison, and possibly he does not laugh. Indeed, we -
seem to be in the midst of a feast of coronets. ;
Four railway accidents in four day.; in each case a
train off the track; four persons killed, ninety•five
persons wounded. Add the Evening Star disaster, .
nearly 300 persons drowned; the St. Louis disaster, •
20 lives lost ; the railway smash-ups, and the numerous
disasters along the coast, and yivi will find that the
destruction of human life in the United States, during
the past two weeks, has been actually appalling.

CHANGES IN THE UPPER HOUSE.

The number of Imre of parliament has increased
since January 1 by fifteen, and has been diminished by
seven. The additions have arisen, first, from creations,
of which there have been eight, viz., Duke of
Edinburgh, Viscount Halifax, Barons Burrogill,
Hylton, Lytton, Penryn, Romilly, and Strathnairn
secondly, by English titles having been conferred on
six Irish peers, viz., Baron Clermont. previously Baron
Clermont in the Irish peerage; Baron Brancepeth,
previously Viscount Boyne; Baron Hartismere, pre-
viously Lord Henniker, M.P. ; Baron Ken*, pre-
viously Earl Dunra gen ; Baron Monk, previously
Lord Monk; Baron Meredith, previously Lord
Athlumney and thirdly, by one peer becoming
entitled to take his seat, having attained his majority,
viz., the Duke of Hamilton. The Earl of Harrington
would save become of age this year; he died shortly after
the meeting of parliament. The total addition, 15 peers,
makes the number of peers of parliament, exclusive of
30 spiritual peers, 439; from which must be deducted
three peerages which have become extinct, viz.: Baron
Bayning. Baron Glenelg, and Baron Ponisopliy. The
changes by succession have further diminished the
number by four, the heirs of deceased noblemen !wing
minor., viz.: Viscount Clifden (sitting as Lord Dover),
Lord Monteagle, Earl Donoughmore (sitting as Vis-
count Hutchinson). and Lord Rivera. During the
year 23 peers have died, viz.: Marquises Camden and
Lansdowne ; Earbi Bathurst. Chesterfield, Craven,
Gainaborough, Harrington, Kinnonl (sitting as Lord
Hay), Donoughmore, Romalyn, Lanesborough, Lime-
rick (sitting as Baron Foxford), and Beauchamp;
Viscount (linden; Lords Bayning. Clinton, Glenelg,
Northbrook, Monteagie, Plunket, Ponsonby, Vernon,
and Rivers. The Upper House, therefore, at present
consists of 462 spiritual And temporal peers.

TIIE PROPOSED NEW
_CODE OF

COLLIERY RULES.

The proposed new code of colliery rules for
South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire
emanating from the Inspector of the district
have for the heat few weeks been under disco•;-
sion by the members of the coal stud iron trades,
assisted by the mine agents of the district ; and
at a recent meeting of the trade held at Wolver-
hampton, and called for that purpose, it was
decided to postpone thiir consideration or adop-
tion for six months, in order to ascertain if any
suggestions furtheir improvement are contained
in the Blue Book emanating from Mr. Ayrton's
committee, who have recently taken such a large
amount of evidence upon the alleged complaint,
of the colliers throughout the kingdom. Is
coining to this conclusion the memberii of the
trade also strongly suggested that before the
new code of rules should be sanctioned and
adopted it would only be fair to the large body
of Mine agents throughout the district that copies
should be sent to them for perusal and discus-
-14011. As the new rules materially increase their
responsibility it is only reasonable that they
should be consulted in the matter, and it is
therefore satisfactory to learn that a meeting of
their body is called for the 19th of November
for this purpose.

HAVING FAITH IN DIVINE
REVELATIONS!

King George of Hanover persists in believing in his
speedy return to the throne which the Prussians have
dispo.sessed him of, and refuses to release the officers
from their oath, firml3 convinced that he has nightly
visions and revelations in which the almighty appears
to him, tells him that these trials are sent to put his
faith to the proof, and that if found deserving, his
restoration will be speedy and complete. A German
journal goes the length of giving the text of one of
these Di% me revelations as follows

My dear George,—When I first laid the foundation. of the
world, I intended to oak. the Guelphs the reigning dynasty
of Hanover, and nothing has happened to alter my original
decrees Be patient, therefore. put faith in me, and your
troubles shall soon cease, and you be restored to the throne
of your ancestors.

But be that as it may, it is a fact that the King
steadily refuses to release his officers from their oath
of allegiance to him, and the officers have too much
esprit de corps to permit them individually to apply
for it, or demand permission to retire from the service.
mi. would, moreover, involve the loss of their pay,
which they can ill afford to sacrifice, as, though
chiefly younger sons of noble families, they are lamen-
tably poor, and have nothing but their pay to keep
them from starvation. German papers also state that
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, has offered her cousin
King t.eorge, British hospitality, and placed the
Palace f St. .James's, formerly the residence of his
father when Duke of Cumberland, at his disposal. It
is added that by the last accounts from Hietzing, a
village in the outskirts of Vienna, the King has
accepted this offer for himself and his daughter, the
Princess Frederica, whilst the Queen and Princess
Marie will remain at their mountain castle in the
Bait?.

CRIMES IN FRANCE.

A young man named Balague has just been tried at
the Court of Assizes of the Arivge fr the murder of
his sister in September last. 'rue jealousy of the
accused had been excited at seeing his married sister
return home to conduct their father's business as
innkeeper, in preference to himself. He went to
the house, asked for some refreshment, and while the
deceased was serving him he discharged four shots
from a revolver into her breast, killing her on the spot.
He also fired twice at the gendarmes who afterwards
went to arrest him. He was now condemned to
death.--A small farmer at Penker (Cotes du Nord),
named Simon, has just been tried at St. Brieuc for
the murder of his servant, Jeanne Lhostellier. The
man being in embarrassed circunotances, borrowed
last April from the woman a sum of 203 f., the
fruit of her savings. He declined to have a written
acknowledgment of the debt drawn up by a
notary named Le Bras, under the pretext that he
, owed the latter some money and wished to keep the

THE QUEEN'S KETTLE!

An interesting incident wan omitted from oar notice
of the Royal visit last week (says the ilkutly Reprem.)
On her return from Paradise, the Queen Was expected
to stop at Mrs. Barrie's, Kildnuumy Inn, where a
large number of people had gathered; but much to
their disappointment, the Royal party drove past
without stopping. A short way above the inn there
is a humble and unpretentious dwelling occupied by a
widow named Mrs, Shanks, Here Her Majesty halted
on her journey, and Dr. Robertson, the Royal com-
missioner, entered Castle Cottage, (am it is called from
its proximity to Kildrummy Castle), and asked Mrs.
Shanks to lend the Queen a kettle to boil water in.
Mrs. Shanks had her kettle on to make her own tea,
and having, of comae, at once gladly consented, Dr.
Robertson took it off the tire and carried it up to the
noble old ruin, where he was followed on foot by the
Queen, Princess Louise, and Brince and Princess
Christian. who had tea in front of the venerable old
castle. Her Majesty stayed about three quarters of
an hour, and the Royal 'party were not disturbed by
any visitors during their tea. The horses were kept
waiting on the road, while the royal party examined
this interesting relic of the past; and, before leaving,
Dr. Robertson left a handsome memento the Royal
visit in the :bands of Mrs. Shanks --to whom the
"Queen's kettle" will henceforth be an object of pride
and interest. Numbers of people called after the
Queen had gone; and Mrs. Shanks has a kind of daily
levee in her kitchen showing off the kettle to curious

MR. BRIGHT CRLTICISED.

The Time, thu. comment, upon one of Mr. Bright', sug-
gestion. for the amelioration of the condition of Ireland
But Mr. Bright has another plan for the regenera-
tion of Ireland. He does not, it seems, as we have
understood him, propose to buy up by compulsion the
estates of absenteee,—he proposes that the ;irate should
offer to their owners considerably more than their worth
and then sell them in email allotments to persons willing
to purchase them for a certain annuity to be added to
the rent and spread over some fifteen or twenty years.
The Government is to become a landj bber, to buy
land wholesale and sell it retail, and in that capacity
to come into direct contact with its own subjects. And
thus the people of Ireland are to be placed in posses.
sion of her land. We do not exactly see who is to be
satisfied by this scheme. Not the proprietors of
small portions of land in Ireland, for the Government I
by forcing large quantities of it into the market I
will, of course, artificially depreciate its value;
not the taxpayers oi the United Kingdom, who I
will find themselves burdened with a bargain
which is avowedly a bad one, and the lose of
which they will be obliged to bear. The only per-
sons who we can suppose will be gratified by the
arrangement will be the purchasers from the Govern.
meat, and their satisfaction will, we should think, be
by no means without alloy. If they are to be allowed
to sell their allotments, the process of aggregation by
which large estates are formed will soon begin over
again. But these persons will stand in two relations
to the Government—those of tenants and purchasers.
What is to happen if any default be made either in
the payment of the rent or of the annuity? Is the
Government to act upon fixed rules, or is it to exercise
that leniency and forbearance which private landlords
are so frequently called upon to show? If the former,
a DOW means has been discovered of making the
English Government hateful to the people of Ireland
by clothing it with the functions of • hard creditor
and unrelenting landlord. If the latter, • new install-

"STICKING UP" A MAIL!
A New Booth Wale. paper has the following narrative, a
curiosity in its way

At Bungendore • Mr. Menzie joined us, and we went
on inside from there, When we got to Sandills a man
called to Billy, the driver, to pull up. We were half
asleep, and I awoke on hearing him ask, "Anyone
inside." Billy answered, "Two passengers." I
jumped up from the hack seat, where I was sittinz,
and covered the man who pulled the horses no, and
said to Mr. Menzies, " I can cover him." He said,
"don't fire?" Menzies jumped out, and I followed
him. We were received by the gentlemen of the
road with presented arms. Just then my revolver
slipped out of my pocket, and I tried to recover it,
but it was noticed and boned. They then looked
me up, and got a note—nothing else. They took
my rue; Tommy Clarke said it was a rare good
one, and would just suit him. They then marched
us down a few yards from the coach and told
us to tarn our faces while they turned up the
mailbags. They asked Billy for the bags, but
he said, "Take them yourselves," and by that means
saved the three best bags, for as soon as they had
taken three bags out Billy said, "That's all," and shut
down the lid. After they had finished overhauling
the mails, I told Tommy my revolver would be of no
use to him, as he could not get ammunition' and that
he might give it me back, and if he would, and they
were game, I would stand up at twenty paces and take
them one by one. But he laughed, and said, "I may."
However, he told us to get in. When I stepped for-
ward he said, "Not you, Mr. White-hat." He then
told Billy to drive on, and we walked a few yards to
a log, when he put my revolver on it, and walked
away three or four yards, and told me I might take it.
I went up and laid hold of it, and found myself covered
by three pieces ;so, thinking discretion the better part
of valour. I followed the coach, and so ended my
night's adventure. They took 2fir. in cash from Men-
zies. who said he had no more, and asked for some
back; they gave him Is. They did not manage to
pitch on my watch. They refused to take Mr.
Menzies' watch, nor did they open my valise, although
they did his portmanteau, but took nothing. The
reason Mr. Menzies would not let me fire was, as he
said, that he had seen so many fellows with firearms
who did not know how to use them, and be had none
to back me up with. Had I fired, I mast have got
•
him, but Tommy would have had me dead in ex-
change. So I am not sorry I was stopped as I was,
although I was enraged at the time.

A PERILOUS PASSAGE.

, A vessel is now lying in the old harbour at Jersey
' which is attracting unusal attention, owing to the
perilous passage she haw recently made under very
difficult and trying circumstances. The vessel is the
brigantine Centuru, the property of Messrs. Robin
and Co., of St. fielier's. She is a new vessel, and,
under the command of Captain Le Moignand, made
' her first voyage in September to Newfoundland,
where her owners have a fishing station. She sailed
thence on the lot of October, with a cargo of codfish
for Rio de .Janeiro. Four days after sailing, the
westerly gales which she encountered increased to's
dreadful hurricane, in which she suffered severely,
the decks being cleared, the sails and sdars carried
away, and the vessel thrown helplessly on her beam.
ends. Though there was little chance of saving her,
as a last resource the masts were cut away, and even-
tually she righted. As soon S 9 the weather moderated
a little, jury masts were rigged, and it way resolved to
endeavour to run for Jersey, sbanctoning the voyage.
After many difficulties, the crew enffuring great hard.
ships, she safely reached that port after a run of nine-
teen days. Captain Le Afoignand hail.the misfortune
to lose one of the fingers of his left hand during the
disaster. So much interest has been taken in the
vessel under these circumstances that Lloyd's have
ordered photographs to be taken of her as she ap-
peared on entering the harbour of Jsrsey.

Hurrah, the Mudd Quaker ! IA Erin awake her,
And rush to the hells where he bellows away,
And as for vile England he'll pummel and rake her
Till ready to hide her base head in the say.
And only just hear how the Bishops, the darling,
Is writing him lettere of welcome and glee,
And stuffs In their pockets their quarrels and marline,
And joins all Mulnotilons to praise the big 13.

Beneath the black SAZOWS tyramical rule,
flow William of Orange and similar duffers
For ages has given sad Erin her grille.
Wad, it's the hotel:ail of enjoyment to hear him
Discoursing our wrong. till he moves us to tears,
No wonder the dark aristocracy fear him,
For singing such songs in their arrogant ears.
No fear but we 'll mind all the Birmingham lessons,
;And mend 'ern, mayhap, like the tragedy Jew
He points out our way to get bould of tbe Washes
The SIMMS has robbed u.s since Brian Boroo.
It's the Land we 're to have, boys, and by the same token
We 'll make the proud Brit fellers sell their estates,
Which if they resists. ungenteel and provokin',
We 'II ask Captain Rock for to Meddle the rates.
That bargain completed, it's nothing but candour
To hint we've subsequent schamt to produce,
For, boys, a good sauce for the hr Oshman's gander
Won't make a bad sauce for th: Irishman's goose.
There's lands besides them what's the Saxons, be jakars,

Modest night-walking boys, with their faces in crape.
