PARIS' CUSTOMS EXPORTS.—We lately gave an ac-
count of the exports through the Paris Customs, from
the 15th May to the 15th August, which showed an
increase in value of 11,867,300 f. as compared with the
corresponding period of 1859. In the 16 days from the
16th to the 31st August. the value of the exports was
.17,598,300 f., or 2,293,100 f. more than in the same
period of the preceding year.
A melancholy accident occurred at Lytham on Tues-
day night. A party was returning from Southport, in
a boat called the Maggie Lauder, and, on arriving
alongside the beach, three or four of them got into a
small punt to pull ashore, but, in getting into her, the
punt was upset, and a young man, named William
Fisher, eldest son of Mr. Henry Fisher, of Fox Lane
Ends, near Lytham, was drowned.
SIEGE OPERATIONS AT ROCHESTER.—Some interest-
ing submarine experinagpts were made yesterday morn-
ing by the Royal Engiireers, under the superintendence
of Major J. W. Lovell, C. 8., for the removal of the
remaining portion of the foundatien of the old bridge at
Rochester. The charges of gunpowder used on the
occasion varied from 301bs. to more, and were fired site-
cessfully by the galvanic battery. Huge piles of Eng-
lish oak, still ounnd after being 500 years in the ground,
together with masses of stone and rock, were so
thoroughly shaken that they may now be easily removed.
The experiments were witnessed by a considerable num-
ber of engineer and military officers from Chatham, and
spectators from the new bridge.
THE Press IA AUSTRIA.—The Vienna journals state
that the editors of the Ost-hmtee Fast and the Tress ef
that city bad been summoned before the Tribunal of
First Instance, and called on to make known from
whom they had received the text of the propositions of
the committee on the Budget, published by them—the
publication being an abase of confidence, and a viola-
tion of administrative secrecy. The editors declared
that they could not denounce the person, and that,
besides, as the members of the Council of the empire.
are not bound to secrecy, they, saw no harm in tho
publication.
AN AMATEUR DECORATOR—A lady residing at no very
great distance from the Cross left home a few days ago
for the coasts During her absence some portion of the
house was to be painted ; and one day the painters having
gone out, the servant girl left by her mistress in charge
of the house took it into her head to try her hand at
painting. She commenced in the kitchen by painting
the handles of the knives, the spoon-box, the bellows,
&e., and then, no doubt, highly satisfied with her work.
she proceeded to the parlour and painted the frame of a
large mirror, winding up her labours by coating over the
piano ! The surprise of her mistress may be imagined,
on her return to find a portion of her most valuable
mahogany furniture covered with a cream-coloured paint.

DEATH OF 'VICE-ADMIRAL GEORGE HEWSON.—We
have to announce the death of Retired Vice-Admiral
George Hewson, who died a few days since. The gal- .
lant deceased was one of the now small number of Tra-
falgar officers. He enterth the navy in 1788, under Sir
Hyde Parker, and was midshipman on board the St.
George at the siege of Toulon, and at the reduction of
Corsica. When in the Britannia, he took part in
Hotham's action iu 1795 ; was lieutenant of the Incon-
stant at the capture of the French frigate L'Unith, and
when in the Boadicea assisted in her boats at the de-
struction of a convoy in the Passage du Raz, and was
officially noticed for cutting out a lugger of six guns
from under the batteries ef St. Matthew. He commanded
a division of boats, cuttiug out from Corunna the Spanish
gunship Neptune. The late admiral was the first lieutes
nant of the Dreadnought at Trafalgar, and of the Superb
at Copenhagen. He commanded the Flecho in the Wal-
cheren expedition, and assisted at the reduction of Flush-
ing, and. on the evacuation of the British he covered
their retreat. Since May, 1816, the late admiral has
not seen any active service. His commissions bore date
at follows :—Lieutentrat, March 16, 1795 ; commander,
Oct. 1, 1807; captain, January 1, 1817 ; rear admiral,
June 16, 1851; and vice-admiral, July 30, 1857.
THE WORCESTER 'MUSICAL YERTIvAL.—Ou Wednes-
day night the College Hall was densely packed, and
there could not have been less than 800 persons in the
room. The great attraction was Gade's new cantata,
" The Erl King's Daughter." The music of the cantata
is weird and strange, but in an artistic point of view
not highly meritorious. Some extraordinary effects are
produced in the accompaniments to the fairy songs mar-
vellous to listen to, but not likely to earn a lasting repu-
tation for the composer. The cantata consists of a pro-
logue for chorus, written in a pleasant flowery melody
somewhat Mendelssohnian ; duets between the Mother
and Sir Oluf, with interlocutory passages between Sir
Olaf, the mother, and the Elfin King's Daughter, with
an epilogue in the same strain as the prologue. The
leading parts were taken by Madame Rudersdorff, Ma-
dame Sainton-Dolby, and Mr. Weiss. On Thursday
there was another overwhelming rush to the Cathedral,
to hear the " Elijah" of Mendelssolm.
ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE ON LOCH. LOMOND.
L- On Tuesday morning an accident happened to the
Prince of Wales steamer on Loch Lomoud, which was
well nigh being attended by the most disastrous conse-
quences. The steamer, on her passage down the loch,
wad surrounded by thick mists, and notwithstanding
that she was slowed and a most careful look out kept
by the captain, she struck with great force upon a rock,
about hi.if a mile north-east of Inchmurran. Imme-
diately afterwards the engine space and afterpart began
to fill with water. Very fortunately the fore compart-
ment kept tight, and the vessel was backed off the rock
towards one of the islands. After a short period of
extreme suspense, the boat was lowered and the passen-
gers were landed on the island. Had the forecompart-
meat given way, in all probability many lives would
have been lost, as the steamer had only one boat, and
that capable of holding only half a dozen persons. As
it happened, the mists cleared off, and after a short
detention the passengers were taken on to Balloch in
the following steamer. A resolution, exonerating Capt.
Brown from any blame, was passed by the majority of
the passen,gers, and embodied in a letter to the directors.
In this document the passengers attribute the accident
solely to the fog, and to the very reprehensible absence
of buoys on the rocks.
THE ROMAN STATES.—The following descriptioa of
the Papal States is of interest at this moment
Before the war of Italy, the States of the Church
were divided into four legations, not counting the
district of Rome. The first comprised the provinces of
andd
to were called
Bologna. Ferrara,Th:,}h'oarytei, abnede
nR aavnennenxae,
The secondaglla consisted of the provinces of Urbino, Pesaro,
Macerata, Loretto, Ancona, Fertno, Ascoli, and Came-
rino,' and are commonly called the Marches. They
have on the north Romagna, on the east the Adriatic,
on the south the kingdom of Naples, and on the west
Tuscany and the provinces of Spoleto and Perugia.
They separate Romagna from the Neapolitan State!.
The third legation consists of the provinces of Spoleto.
Perugia, and Rieti ; the first two constitute what is
called. Umbria. The town of Foligno, which is in
rerugia, is the Fulginium of the ancients. The fourth
legation comprises the provinces of Velletri, Frosinone,
and Benevento : the latter, however, is surrounded by
Neapolitan territory. The district of Rome, which is
placed under a special regime, consists of that city, of
Viterbo, Orvieto, and Civita, Vecchia, the latter being
an important commercial port."
SUSPECTED POISONING OF A WIFE.—At Willenhall,
*South Staffordsbire, a man named William King has
:been arrested for poisoning his wife. The woman has
liVed apart from her husband for some months past, but
on Wednesday night be met her in the street, and gave
her money to spend in ale. She purchased and drank
three half-pints. Subsequently, her husband gave her
some rum out of a bottle lie had in his possession, and
the same night she became ill, and suffered violent pain
from cramp in the legs. A surgeon prescribed an emetic,
and also medicine, but the woman continued to get
worse, and died on Thursday morning. An inquest was
opened on the body on Thursday, and a witness deposed
to the deceased's statement as to the conduct of the
husband described above. The coroner postponed the
inquest for a post-mortem examination; and the husband
was taken into custody on suspicion of having poisoned
the deceased.
