hltli DIEHL'S OCTHAOE UPON a SHERIFF'S OFFICIR.
—A sheriff's of entered the bones of a Yrs. Robinson and
her son, living at Edge-lane, Liverpool. yeeterday morning, in
order to nerve a writ of execution. The son rushed down
stairs, and with a cavalry sword cut open the officer's head
and wounded him in the legs, while the mother attacked
him with a poker and dealt him some dreadful blows on
the head. The officer's hat only aimed his life. The Robin-
s/Jos have been committed for trial.

AUSTRIAN LOTTERIES IN &MLA:NIA—The Impe-
rial and Royal Austrian Bank are freely distributing
through the post prospectuses of an Austrian lottery, the
prizes of which are to be paid through them. The circolar
accompanying purports to be dated from Frankfort-on-the.
Maine, and, to evade the English law, the remittances ere to
be made to that city, although the Post-office orders are to
be made payable in Londoo. Whether many Englishmen
will be found willing to make their 10/. remittances to a
comparatively unknown German banker remains to be
seen ; from the circumstance that the prospectus
does not state the amorist to be annually drawn.
nor the number of years during which the drawings are
to continue, the prospect of the subscribers would not ap-
pear to be particularly encouraging. As it is proposed that
every subscriber shall receive, under the most unfavourable
chances, 15 per cent. more than he subscribes, it follows
that, inasmuch as 120,983,000 florins are to be returned for
40,000,000 subscribed, an enormous time must elapse (as-
suming that it is not arranged that all the heavy prises
shall fall to the proprietor of the lottery) before the priass
can be draws—in fact, the time required to sus 80,983,000
florins with • capital of 40,000,000 florins, wises the
amount repaid u prizes. If there be found English capita-
lists sufficiently thoughtless to enter upon such hazardous
speculations as this, they will have themselves only to thank
if they are disappoented.—AfirtinoJoureal.
The Hampshire Adrertiser states that South-
'metes is likely to produce • new poetess in the per of
• young lady named Cooper. In Introducing • poem of
about a column and half in length our local contemporary
says, " We have much pleasure in laying before our readers
another poem from the pen of Miss Cooper. The construc-
tion of it is in a high degree creditable. The incidents are
happily conceived. We have already commended one of this
lady'scompceitioas. In thatziow before us there,is evidence of
a great advance towards the higher regimes of poetry. If we
have not here what Professor Wilson called, in speaking of
Mr.. Hennas' poetical conceits, ' pure drops of gold,' the
alloy is of so little account that we may fairly, we think,
congratulate Southampton on having a writer with so fair
a preemies of future popular tame."
A Too JOCULAR ERIDEGROO3I.—A wedding Cere-
mony at Peuryn came to an unexpected close on Thursday
under peculiar circumstances. A well-to-do young man,
named Andrews, recently returned from Australia, had
wooed arid won • damsel respectably connected, and having
procured a marriage license, the pair, attended by more
than • doses friends in four or five carriages, ar-
rived at about 11 o'clock ou Thursday morning at
the doors of St. Glaris+ Church. Penryn. The appearance
of the party indicated • more than ordinary desire to do
all honour to the occasion. The officiating clergyman, the
Item C. 1). Saunders, curets, conducted the service, which
proceeded in due course until the question was asked of the
bridegroom, " Wilt thou have this woman to be thy
wedded wife?' To this, instead of the ordinary affirma-
tive, be replied, " Well, I don't mind taking her for a
month or so on trial." This unseemly speech astounded
the congregation and ;disgusted the clergyman, who in-
stantly eked his book, went into the vestry, and disrobed.
The parties followed him, begging him to prooeed with
the esremouy, bat he resolutely refused, and left the
building, and conferred with the archdeacon of the dio-
cese, the Rev. Chancellor Pliilpotte, who is residieg
at the Vicarage. A demand was made for the return of
the fee paid for the license, but this also was declined ; and
the party, evidently much chagrined, returned to the church
and re-entered the carriages, giving orders to be driven as
quickly as possible to Falmouth. Amid the irealcal cheers
of the assembled crowds, the parties drove off, and just be-
fore 12 o'clock dashed up to the office of the superintendent
registrar at Falmouth, and applied to have the marriage care-
=my gone throo3b instantly. For this, however, there was
not then time, and the doubly-disappointed party repaired
to the Globe Hotel, where for the remainder of the day
they endeavoured, as best they could, to keep up the appear-
ance of good spirits.— Western Morning 11 errs.
A REFORMATORY AGENT IN BAVARL‘—in any
plass of entertsinment is Bavaria, if • Kehler Nee your
beer-flagon empty, he immediately fills it for you without
request or hint. Bavarian nature ribbon such • vacuum,
and the nerves of • kindly Kehler will not permit him to
behold such a type of misery u au empty beerdlagon. I
was told in this region that the universal passion for beer was
made a highly available instrument in the suppression of
crime—seeing that in countries where nothing of the
kind prevailed, it is impossible to bring punishment rip to
so afflictive • height, consistent with the preservation of the
criminal's health, as the stopping of • Bavarian's beer;
while, for the purposes of prison discipline, the power on
some OCCA/001 slightly to relax the prohibition was a bribe
to good coaduct, so potent as to leave far behind anything
we can &mom pti.k through our inferior social institutions.

THE JOrltltil zn DlEPre.—There was a little
French vaudeville which, some years ago, used to amuse
the audiences of the Valais Royal, and send them horn.
leashing as they went over its drolleries. It wan called
"Le Voyage Dieppe." The chief incidents of the niece
revolved round • long-promised trip to Dieppe which a Paz i•
rise shopkeeper bad hotted himself to make, to show his
family the sea. It had become the day-dream of their lives,
and no subject could be discussed amnegst them without he
reference to Dieppe being duly weighed and considered.
The happy day at last arrives, and they start. It was before
the time of railroads. A malicious friend has, however,
bribed the coachman, and instead of taking the road to
Dieppe, be passes the whole night in driving round Paris,
and ends by depositing the weary and exhailated travellers
at a small suburb, where. from the window of a mean-look.

cried, drickwezded and dreary, the distance being closed by
a low-lying swamp. Whatever disappointment. the others

trophe to the ever-rest:ma sea that would have done honour
to a Grrek chorus. He rushee out to the beach to inhale
the invigoratiog breezes of the ocean, and comes back with
an appetite for oysters, which he naturally imagines to be
the appropriate effect of sea air. His enthusiasm and his
blunder*. his ecstasy and his mistakes, make up a most
laughable picture, and all the time the audience can never
perfectly divest themselves of a certain sympathy for one
who, if he had really seen the sea, would have hailed the
eight with each a racy and honest ujoyment.—Blaekrood's
Magazier for November.
