was the " Stationing Committee," and its particular
province is to appoint the numerous ministers of the
denomination to their respective circuits, the rule being
that no minister shall be located for a period longer
than three years in one place. The Stationing Commit-
tee, which has to consider the requests of not fewer than
524 circuits in Great Britain (the societies therein num-
bering in the aggregate 310,329 members) and to decide
on the judicious appointment of ministers thereto, will
not, it is expected, conclude its business before next

Rev. W. W. Stamp, chairman of the Liverpool district,

elected as the president of the conference for the ensuing
year. There are not less than 137 candidates for the
Wesleyan ministry this year.

Mean FIGHTING IN CIRCASSIA.—From Trebizond
we• (Levant Herald) have news of another combat on
the 15th ult., between the Circassians and the Rus-
sians. A strong Russian detachment was on that day
escorting a large remittance of specie to a neighbouring
military station, when they were assailed by a body of
the mountaineers, and, after an obstinate fight, defeated,
with the loss of the whole convoy of roubles. The prize
being so considerable, the struggle is said to have been
proportionately bloody, with large corresponding loss on
both sides. Six days before a general exchange of pri-
soners had taken place at Soujak.

31URLYER' OF A SUFFOLK MILITIANIAfg

A private of the Suffolk n.rF_4ia artillery, named John
Wickham, was on Thursday night d'....ctderTd in Ports-
mouth by a fish hawker, named David Mul:irs. It
appears that Mullins went into the Golden Bell publ42-
house, in St. Mary's-street, in company with three other
men, and commenced a conversation about gunnery.
Shortly afterwards the deceased entered the same house,
and :Mullins taunted him with not understanding his
calling, and using very offensive. langUage. Wick-
ham replied that he (Mullins) could not teach him, and
the latter then knocked him down upon the floor, and
was M t t act of repeating the assault when a waiter,
named White, hearink a scuffle, rushed into the room,
and seized both his hands. While so doing, the fellow
kicked his victim violently on the forehead, and he died
in a few minutes afterwards, the skull being fractured.
Mullins then hastily left the house, but was pursued,
captured, and handed over to the custody of the police.

MURDER OF A FEMALE NEAR
DARTFORD.

On Saturday, Sir Peregrine H. Dyke, Bart., and a
bench of magistrates, assembled at Dartford, to examine
into a charge against a man named John Grainger, of
causing the death of a female named Cordelia Lovell.
It appeared that the prisoner and the deceased woman
had lived together for thirteen years, and a few days
since the deceased suddenly disappeared. The prisoner
went in search of her, and met her on Bexley
Heath, in company with another man. He induced
her to go with him, and shortly afterwards
the prisoner commenced kicking and otherwise ill-using
her; so much so, that on arriving at Crockey Hill she
was obliged to send for a doctor. From this time she
never rallied, and soon afterwards expired. At the
inquest upon the body, the jury returned a verdict of
wilful murder. The prisoner was committed to Maid-
stone gaol.

DESTRUCTION OF TWO SHIPS BY FIRE

On Saturday information was received at Lloyd's of
the destruction of two ships by fire. One was a well-
known ship the Cotteax Wattel, which took tire while
putting her cargo on board, in the port of Sydney, on
the 4th of May. Attempts were made to scuttle, the
ship, and sink her in deep water, but without effect.
The origin of the fire is involved in some mystery. The
second mate had recently been discharged; .he was ap-
prehended on suspicion of setting fire to the ship. He
was then examined at a police-office and committed for
trial. The other vessel destroyed was the Sea Serpent,
belonging to Hull, which left Paraiba for Liverpool, on
the 12th of May, and on the afternoon of the 19th she
took fire. A whaling ship came up a few hours after-
wards, and remained by her until she was about to sink,
when the crew left their ship and took to the whaler.
The Sea Serpent was very soon in flames from stem to
stern.

THE AFFRAY BETWEEN PRUSSIAN
SMUGGLERS & RUSSIAN TROOPS.

A rather serious fight took place at the end of the
last month, at a place called Plunjian, between a party
of Prussian smugglers and the Russian troops stationed
at the frontier of the two countries. A band of men,
who had with them an assortment, of goods of various
kinds, sought to pass the frontier with their wares, and
about 80 of the number, wQII armed, had succeeded in
crossing the most dangerous part of the line in the
vicinity of the Russian guard-houses, and feeling then
perfectly secure they sent on 50 of their number further
into the Russian territory : but these were suddenly
beset by a force of Russian soldiers far superior in
numbers, and a band to hand struggle ensued, when
several on both .sides were either killed or wounded.
In the end the smugglers left their goods behind them,
and escaped across the frontier into Prussia.
