REMOVAL OF WILLIAM ROUPELL FROM SEW-
GATE.—An order from the Home Office having been re-
ceived by Mr. Jonas, the governor of Nevrgate, for the
removal of this criminal, he has, accordingly, been sent
to Millbank Prison, preparatory to undergoing the term
of his sentence.

NARRUW ESCAPE OP A JUDOE.—At the Tipperary
quarter sessions, on Friday, a young man named Richard
Carey was convicted of the larceny of two shirts. Serpent
Howley, the presiding judge, sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour. No sooner was this gen-
tepee uttered than with a rapidity almost inconceivable, and
while unperceived by perhaps more than three persons in
court, Carey drew back in the dock, and drawing his arm
around. flung a stone of nearly one pound weight, with
his full strength, direct at the learned .erjeant. It
=d as if out of a sling, sorapidly did it go from the
ot the prisoner to the place where his worship was
sitting, in the centre of a full bench of magistrates. The
serjeaut bad Dot taken his eye off the prisoner after
sentencing him, and to this might be attributed, under
Providence, his escape; for he perceived the sudden mare-
meat. and, seated on a light chair with castors, he moved
hack and threw himself off the chair. So rapidly did the
whole thing take place that the stone passed across the
spot that the chairman hail left, and struck the panelling
behind his chair. The violence of the blow smashed the
stone, and a small portion of it remained imbedded firmly
in the woodwork. A consultation of magistrates took
place, and it was decided that iuformation of this outtegeous
attempt should be returned against the prisoner to next
maize', the quarter seniors grand jury having been then
discharged. The occurrence of this dreadful outrage created
a deep sensation.—Clonnitt Chronicle.
NEW NORTHERN TRAINING GROUND.--In antici-
pation of the speedy eecloiiiog of the famous Yorkshire',
traisiug ground, Langton Wold, near Mahon, a movement
has been et on foot to secure the northern training estab-
lishments at or near Scarborough. There is a wide, ele-
vated ruts or moor known as Seamer•oommon, the pro-
perty of Lord Loodesborough, who is a supporter of the
turf, and it is on this moor the proposed traisiug ground and
racocourse are to be. A gentleman has returned to Meltoe
after having made an official inspection of the place, and
reports favourably. It is thought the Malton race meeting
will scarcely survive the enclosure of the Wolf, and it is proposed that an autumn and spring meeting should be held
at Scarborough, where there are at present no ROW
HYDROPHOBIA. —A melancholy cave of hydro-
phobia her just occurred at Lyons. Mme. X--, • lady of
good property. was bitten by a favourite dog in May last,
the animal at the time labouring under that dreadful
malady. Everything was done at the time to prevent any
ill consequences, but a few days since the Isdy was seized
in her turn, and in forty eight hours expired. She retained
her faculties to the last, and was able to dispose of her pro.
party and receive the consolations of religion. When abs
felt the violent paroxysms of the disease coming on she
would not allow any one to remain near her, fearing that
she might do them harm.—Galignatti.

A Wnets CHAU us 01KNIT.—On the afternoon
of Wednesday weak intelligence arrived in town that a
large number of boats were in pursuit of a great shoal of
bottlenoses in Soaps. A considerable body of our towns-
people accordingly hastened out to witness the animating
spectacle. It was an exciting and interesting scene. There
could not be fewer than 80 oar-and-sailboat, in pursuit, and
the shoal of whales must have numbered between 200 and
:10. The whales were rapidly coming in shore, and the
boats, crescent-shaped, were pressing close in a dense
phalanx behind them. The boatman kept up a perpetual
hallooing from end to end of the line. There was a
fine fresh wind blowing, and there seemed every pro- ,
hability of the shoal being stranded. The beach of Scapa
is admirably adapted for the purpose, and great would
have been the slaughter had the whales only approached a
few yards nearer the shore. Many of the boatmen, with
ready-poised weapons, were actually preparing to leap
into the water ; but the whales, getting alarmed, wheeled
suddenly round, raising their gleaming fins and black beads
and bodies out of the water. Breaking into two divisions,
they charged through and under the compact line of boats
in vigorous and gallant style, making many of the craft
heave and tremble as they swept furious)y past. Some of
the boats seemed greatly in danger of being overturned.
This was the most exciting part of the spectacle. Awar,
outward-bound, over the waters of the bay, they went in
magnificent style, their great dorsal fins gleaming in the
sun and sending arches and columns of spray high into the
air. The boat, turned rapidly in pursuit, and oarsmen bent
their backs with a will ; but it soon became apparent that
both divisions of the great shoal bad out-distanced their par-'
suers by miles. Some sailboats, meeting the lines in front, I
tried to turn them from their course ; but these stoppages •
had only the effect of scattering them abroad and render- ;
ing pursuit hopeless, as the shadows of evening were cow
feat descending on the sea.—Orkney Herald.
THE TELEGRAPH TO INDIA.—It is stated, with
reference to the Indian Telegraph question, that the autho-
rities at the Indivollice have decided upon taking immediate •
steps for completing the laud line of telegraph now in exist-
ence as far ae Bagdad on to the bead of the Persian Gulf,
and to laya submarine cable thence to Gwadel, on the coast
of &lambi/tan, from which point a land line is being con-
structed to join the Indian system of telegraphs to Burrs-
thee. Colonel Stewart, R. 8., direct, the work generally,
and Sir Charles Bright and Mr. Latimer Clark are the en-
gineers.—London and China Telegraph.
SILKWORMS IN AV L. —An experiment 11118 been
made io the government garden at Buiteozorg, with some
silkworms brought from Siam in April last, which has
proved completely successful. They were found to breed
freely, and the silk produced by them wee valued at
f. 742.50 per picul. By a little cars and change in the
manner of wading the cocoons the quality of the silk was
much improved. The government are taking means to iin•
courage the cultivation of silk by private persons in Java,
as it is wished that this iedastay should be free and without
oompulsion.—Loudon and China Telegraph.

The weekly court at the Bank to-morrow is looked
forward to with some interest, an advance in the
rate of discount being considered probable.

The drain of gold is increasing. About 207,0001.
was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday, for trans-
mission to the Continent, principally. to pay for
silver. Recent remittances from America have also
been bought for the same destination, and further
amounts are expected to be taken from the Bank
during the next few days.
In connexion with the rise in Greek Bonds, a
belief is still expressed amongst the Greek com-
munity in London that the provisional government
just inaugurated will apply to the English govern-
ment to give them Prince Alfred for king.
Bills on the Continent were again in demand yes-
terday afternoon, and the tendency of the rates
of exchange is still unfavourable to this country.

The Secretary of State for India in Council has
intimated that until further notice tenders will be
received on the first and third Wednesdays in each
month, commencing with Wednesday, the sth
November, for bills of exchange on India to the
extent of rupees 50,00,000 (500,000/.) in each
month.

Another British colony is in the market for a
loan. The agents general for crown colonies have
notified that they will receive tenders until 1 p.m.
on the Bth November, for 200,0001. of Manntius
Government Six per Cent. Debentures. An " ordi-
nance" has already passed the Colonial Council for
enabling the government to pay, for railway pur-
poses, 300,0001. from the colonial treasury, of
I which loan this sum of 200,0001. forms the first
instalment, but it is contemplated hereafter to raise
the amount of the railway loan to 1,000,0001. The
bonds are for sums of 5001., 2001., and 1001.
each, redeemable in 20 years. It appears
that two lines of railway are to be constructed
in the colony, and are officially described as fol-
lows :—" The one from the town of Port Louis,
northward, through the districts of Port Louis,
Pamplemouissen Riviere du Rampart, and Flacq ;
the other from the said town, through the districts
of Port Louis, Plaines Wilhelms, and Grand Port,
to the town and harbour of Mahebourg." It is an
encouraging feature that the revenue of the govern-
ment of Mauritius has for many years past con-
siderably exceeded the expenditure, and up to the
present date the colony has contracted no public
11 debt whatever. The loan now sought forms, there-
fore, a first charge on the general revenues of the
colony:. . . . . . . .

An-other new bank is announced under the title
of the Union Bank of England and France (Limited),
with a proposed capital of 1,000,0001. (with power
to increase), in 10,000 shares of 1001. each, of which
one half are to be issued in the first instance. The
objects of the promoters are stated to be to meet
the demand for increased banking facilities crested
by the rapid extension of commerce between Eng-
land and France since the passing of the commer-
cial treaty. The growth of this trade is indeed one
of the most remarkable commercial features of the
time. It is pointed out that the proposed joint stock
establishment will enter a field at present unoccu-
pied, except by private enterprise. A company,
however, which for some months past has carried
on discount and exchange operations between the
two countries, is to transfer its business to the
present undertaking, on terms described as
highly equitable and advantageous." By a recent
convention between the two governments, pub-
lished by imperial decree in the Moniteur of the
21st of May, all public companies and other com-
mercial and financial associations, constituted or
authorised under the laws of either country, have
obtained the power to enforce their rights before
either the English or French tribunals. Applica-
tion is to be made to the French government to
authorise carrying on banking business in France
with a uniform penny stamp upon all drafts, and the,
promoters state that there is every reason to believe
the decree will be immediately granted. A portion
of the shares will be reserved for France, and di-
rectors will be appointed to watch ever the interests
of the company in that country ; but the seat of
the executive will be in London. The London
board is composed of twelve respectable mercan- 1
tile names.

At a large and influential meeting of the Com-
mercial Union Assurance Company held yesterday
at the London Tavern, to consider how the company
should be registered under the new act of parlia-
ment, it was unanimously resolved to make no
alteration in the style of the company.
The half-yearly report of the directors of the
Sambre and Meuse Railway Company recommends
