Golf." Another paper wee a commtusication by M. Vita-
%Wry of his Dervish journey to and beyond Samarcand.

Gatignatii publishes Capt. Window's official re-
port of the late engagement with the Alabama, to which
there is the following posteript :—" Capt. Semmes com-
plains that he waa fired into after strikiog, and that the
bests of the Searsarge were not sent soon enough. C►pt.
Semmes knows well that had it been known the Alabama
had surrendered, another gun would never have been dis-
charged, and the two undimbled boats were sent imme-
diately when his condition was known. It would seem
strange that such complaints come from one who did not
hesitate, and availed himself of the means sent in the muse
of humanity to save life, to make a ; and could the captain
of the !Immerge have believed it was possible for the coin.

A Milan letter says :--" The King this morning
honoured with his presence the national rifle-match. His
Majesty arrived on the ground at 8 in the morning, and
fired ten shots, three of which bit the white, and four the
black disc. There was a great crowd round the King, and
his sucesesful shots were loudly cheered. After visiting
the large tent, and speaking with his usual affability to
many native sad foreign marksmen, the King took his
departure at a quarter put 9 amid the cheering of the
crowd, and returned to 'ruin shortly after noon."

LLD., vicar of Scarborough. At the time he was the guest
of the Rev. T. H. Porter, D. D., at Tullyhogue, near Dan-
gannon, county Tyrone. The intelligeoce of his death was
telegraphed to Scarborough by Dr. Porter. The hut letter
received from Dr. Whiteside was dated from Doomoyle on
Thursday lest. He was then about leaving that place for
Tullyhogne, after having enjoyed the society of several of
his old college (floods. Dr. Whiteside was the brother of
the Right Hoe. James Whiteside- He wee, we believe, a
native of Dublin. He was • scholar of Trinity College,
Dublin. He afterwards took the Segreesof B.A. awl M.A.
et the same university, and more recently took that of
D.C.L. The laiwnamed degree was also conferred upon him
at Cambridge. He formerly held the living of Keswick,
Cumberland, where he enjoyed the intimate acquaintance of
Southey. He was afterwards vicar of • parish at Ripon,
sod during the last 18 years he has been vicar of Scar-
borough. Dr. Whiteside was 58 years of age. Lord Hotham
is the patron of the now vacant living.
PILGRIMAGE or PROTESTANT MONKS.--On Mon-
day last the monks of this city (Norwich) made • pilgrimage
to the celebrated well of Saint Waist.° at Bawburgb,
whose waters are supposed to have wooderful properties,
As this well has been the scene of many such pilgrimages,
and is likely again to tie a spot of interest, it will be proper
to state that it is situated io the little village of Bawburgb,
or Haber, about four miles from Norwich, and a short die-
tame from Taverham. The well is about three feet in
diameter and about the some in depth, situated in an
orchard; it is lined with flint stones, and between these
stones a most peculiar kind of moss is found, which,
though black in appearance when gathered, soon turns
to • beautiful green colour. The moss is supposed to
possess curative properties of no ordinary kind, and many
country people still believe that the water of the well is
efficacious in many diseases. To this place the monks
weeded their way in greed procession, as to the shrine of
one of their thief saints. The "brethren," with the whole
of their " regalia" hi • cab, left Norwich quietly until the
city was left some distance behind them, and then, having
robed themselves in gorgeous vestments, an acolyte bearing
an immense brass cross, proceeded singing hymns to their
destination. Before each village church prayers were said,
and by the time they reached the village of Saber,
their numbers bad isereesed to about seventy in-
dividuals, and the procession had an imposing appearance.
Beneath a gorgeous canopy Father Ignatius, who was clothed
in a gold and white satin cope, and surrounded by the
" brethren" of the order, bearing • great variety of banners,
and followed by three little children, bearing the banner of
the Guardia. Angel, proceeded to the holy well, where, with
candles burning, censers swinging. and amid fumes of
incense, the superior sang aloud, " We prelims thee, 0 God!"
the audience falling on their faces to kiss the holy earth,
after which they were all sprinkled with the water, singing
"Sprinkle me, 0 Lord, and I shall be dean," ha The well
was then inoessed. and • large number of candle' lighted,
and, after a short lecture by the " Father," vespers were
begun, and the seam was very imposing, and, doubtless,
entertaining to the rusties. Tne senior concluded, • per.
feet rush took place for the moss, and every scrap oas tore
from the well. The procession then returned to Norwich.
It is understood to be the intention of the monks to visit
all the " saints' " relics in the county,—Bury rind Nortridt

A NEW PROPOSITION.

The Botschafter of Vienna enters very coolly into
a consideration of what would take place in the
event of King Christian IX. being replaced upon
the throne of Denmark by the Prinoe of Augusten-
burg. Russia, it says, would push the claims of
the Duke of Oldenburg; but it would be the duty
of Germany, according to this journal, to favour
the candidature of the former prince.
