formation on the matter when the death of the woman was
made public, and a full description of her given in

of age, and is said to have been in the company of deceased

Powell's. For obvious reasons the authorities decline for
the present to make public the residence of Powell. The
coroner's inquiry into the case is adjourned until Monday,
the 3rd of October, but in consequence of the new light
which has been thrown on the matter he will probably ap•
point an earlier day for the resumption of the inquest.
DARING ATTACK UPON A UrLNTLEYAN IN • CAB
AT GLASOOW.—OK Saturday night, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, as Mr. Abbot, spirit merchant, London-
street, Glasgow, was on his way home to Marvhill in a cab,
and when opposite the amine leading to Kelvinside.honse,
Gerscubaroad, Maryhill, two men made a rush at the
osb, which was going at an ordinary rate. Ooe of them
endeavoured to get on the roof of the cab from be-
hind, and the other made a rush at the cab door to
open it, but this Mr. Abbot prevented by hold-
tog the door fast. The ruffian then struck dope-
rarely with his fiat "'at Mr. Abbot's head through the
window of the cab, which at this time was down - but
Mr. Abbot avoided the blows, and, seising a bottle ha
bad beside him, declared be would split the fellow's head
if he did not desist from the attack ; at the tame time the
cabman turned on the other with his whip, and pounded
away at him for a time, but was unable to put him down
till the horse was started at full gallop, when he jumped
down and joined his companion, both of them being left
behind on the road. Mr. Abbot and the cabman drove on to
the Maryhill Polies-office, where they lodged information of
the occurrence ; and, in company with the polio*, writ
aloof/ the read in the direction of Glasgow, when they
pointed oat the two men as the parties who had attacked
them. Thaw moo were taken into custody, and brought to
the office, when they gave tbeir names as Robert Aitken, •
moulder, and William Moodie, • paper-mill worker, both
residing in MaryhilL—Caledonieus Mercury.

affirms that the vessel has arrived from Bordeoux, sod has
been purchased by the Prussian government, with • view of
adding her to the Prussian navy. Her name was the Orme,
but she has been rechristened the Victoria. _ _ _

BROTHER IGNATIrS ONCE MORE.—The Rev. Mr.
Lyne, better known as " Brother Ignatius," of the Benedic-
tine Monastery at Norwich, has addressed a letter
to a Roman catholic publication, in which his
principles appear to have bean called into question.
He says—" A friend having sent me your paper of
September 3, containing some remarks upon a bock in
which I am ►lludd to very frequently, I perceive that
you have so far mistaken the writer's meaning in two or
three points, that you have unintentionally made some
grievous mis-statemeets. I believe myself to be a
catholic, and a deacon of the catholic church under the
inhibition of a catholic bishop who does not bold
the catholic faith, and inhibits me because I do. I
know that you entirely dissent from what I have said,
nevertheless, that sense of manly straightforward charity
which your holy religion inculcates will compel you, I am
mum to insert this. In the first place. I utterly deny ever
having been guilty of the profanation of attempting
to adminiater any sacran.est, excepting holy
baptism. I bare even refused to perform the
marriage service for persons who have asked me to
do so, although it is quite common for deacons in the church
of England to celebrate that rite. I have never pretended
to consecrate the hely eucharist, or to give absolution. I
believe I should be guilty of most blasphemous sacrilege
were Ito do so. Ido Dot in the least care to find
myself the food of severe critics and satirists—l am very
sorry they eannot find better game than myself. I shall
be perfectly satisfied when busybodies will kindly
let me sink Into my proper nothingness and pristine insigni-
ficance, permitting me to do my work without making such
a stir about it. I seldom have time to see newspaper, and
therefore it is only by chance that I hear of the many mis-
representations that are made respecting me. I have been
requested to write to you, or I should not have troubled
you with this letter. Benedictine breviaries are quite
plentiful with us sow, though at first we were so poor we
could not buy them, and bad to content ourselves with one
which was lent to us. At Cisydon the brothers did in-
deed perform nocturne and lands under difficulties. It is
otherwise now. They have through use become familiar
with night offices, which are always sang here in
winter at 1 a.m. sod at 2 p.m., in accordance with the
rule of St. Benedict. If we are playing a game at monks, it is
a game mare like the real thing than the real thing itself
with you. I believe that you cannot be a real son of St.
Benedict if you ►bregate the chief peculiarities of his rule,
yin., the eight vigils, fasting always till alter midday. the
observance of silence at all boars, and the recitation of the
palter every week." Brother Ignatius complains that
! whereas his monastery is intended for Protestants, Catho-
-1 lice flock there, because Catholic priests at Norwich are
either lifeless or asleep In their chapels.
