JOHN DIXTON, an architect in respectable practice,
has been committed at Carrick-on-Suir, for forging
the name of the Marquis of Waterford on three bills
of Exchange for 5001., 880/., and 7001., on which he
obtained a sum of 1,8801. at the National Bank.
THE sudden an'i mysterious death of Mr. James
Savage, of St. John's College, and senior wrangler of
the year, was announced in Cambridge on Saturday
last. Mr. Savage left his rooms on the Thursday
morning previous, for the purpose of taking his cus-
tomary walk, and nothing more could be ascertained
of his whereabouts until Saturday morning, when
intelligence arrived that he had been found lying
dead in a dry ditch bounding a field in the occupa-
tion of Mr. Toffs, of Whittle Farm, near Cambridge.
An inquest was held the same evening. Au exami-
nation of the body presented no indications of
violence, nor were there any traces of a scuffle.
Deceased was of very abstemious and regular habits,
and enjoyed good health. The jury returned a
verdict of—" Died by the visitation of God."

MR. GEORGE DE BOSCO ATTWOOD, the secretary

ETRE Dantzic (steamer), of Dantzic from Stettin,

Loss OF THE CRCESUB.—The Crane, which left
Genoa at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning the 28th
inst, for Constantinople, with thirty-seven officers,
209 soldiers of the Sardinian army, twenty-live mules,
and provisions, caught tire a few hours afterwards,
and was entirely lost eleven miles south-east of
Genoa. The passengers and crew were saved, with
the exception of one sailor and six soldiers. The
Crcetus had been placed, with several other English
transports, at the service of the Sardinian Govern-
ment, for the conveyance of their troops to Constan •
tinople and the Crimea. It is understood that the
Hydaspes, Harkaway, Cleopatra, and the Emu,
steam-transports, left the port, with a portion of the
remainder of the Sardinian army, about the same
time, and that the boats of these vessels were instru-
mental in saving a large number of the Craws'
people. The intelligence of the catastrophe was
transmitted to England by submarine telegraph, via
Genoa and Spezzia. The Crams was an iron vessel
of 2,600 tons, built by Mr. Mare about two years
since. Her loss is calculated at nearly 70,0001., and
she is insured at Lloyd's and elsewhere to the
amount of 57,0001.

LIBERAL SPAIN.

THE Correspondent who last week sent tie a letter
under the above heading has transmitted us the
following as a note to his communication :

Since writing my letter I learn that I am incorrect in
stating that the police entered the house of the Rev. Mr.
Frith during the performance of divine service—what
occurred was as follows:—The owner of the house (a
lady), whioh house is situated within the precincts of the
Alcazas. and is consequently royal property, was threatened
with immediate expulsion if she permitted the continu-
ance of the services ; and, although the Governor hes
denied distinctly any cognisance in the matter, the owner
is under the impression that the interference is nut on the
part of the eclesiastical authorities alone.
The outrage, for such it surely is, appears more glaring
from the circumstance that the congregation rarely con-
sisted of more than sir persons, and from the love and
esteem universally burns in Seville towards the reverend
gentleman who has been compelled to discontinue the
►ervices.
