THE BRUTAL MURDER NEAR HYTHE.

HYTHE, JAN. 6.
Two men, named Cieorge Damper and Thomu
Wran, underwent a lengthened examination yesterday
before the magistrates of the county, on suspicion of being
concerned in the brutal murder of Joseph Wren (a sawyer
in the service of Mr. A. h. Drummond, of Caillands), oa
Christmas eve. _ _

The Bench, after hearing the evidence, addressed the
prisoners, and said that they felt it to be their duty to
commit them for trial at the next assizes on the charge of
wilful murder. They were then removed to Winchester
(county) gaol, to await trial, which will take place nett
March.

THE RIGHT HON. M. T. RAINES AND THE
LEEDS POOR LAW GUARDIANS.

On Wednesday last at a special meeting of the Leeds
Board of Guardians was held, for the purpose of presenting
an address wee presented to the Right Hen. M. T. Damage,
on his appointment as President of the Poor Law Board,
and calling his attention to the orders prohibiting out door
relief, and making test labour in all cases compulsory, as
issued by his predecessor in office.
Mr. BAINIS, in reply, said the Poor-law Board, so long
es he was at its head, would be most happy to receive any
opinion or suggestions from the Leeds Board of Guardians;
and he could promise them that, where practicable, they
should receive their approval, mid in any case the guard-
ians should have no cause to complain of the terms in
which the Poor-law Board expressed their view. (Applause).

Duswir. JAx, 6.

It is now generally understood here that the Hon.
Charles Clements has been appointed to the post of
Under Secretary. Mr. Clements is the son of Lord
Clements, and was an unsuccessful candidate at the
last Leitrim election.
It is stated that the following appointments in the
new viceregal household have been made by the
Earl of St. Germans :—The Hon. Major Ponsonby,
private secretary ; George L'Estrange, Esq., cham-
berlain ; Major Begot, comptroller of the household ;
Captain Robert Williams, gentleman of tbe bed-
chamber; Captain Willis, gentleman usher ; Mr.
Lowry Balfour, gentleman at large.
The Rev. Ralph Sadleir, D.D., sub-dean of St. Pa-
trick's, hu been appointed private chaplain to the
Earl of St. Germans.

His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, the Right
Hon. the Lord Chief Justice, and Major General Sir
Edward Blakeney, will be sworn in as Lords Jus-
tices of Ireland this day. On Friday, on the depar-
ture of his Excellency, Lords Justices will be again
sworn in.

The undress levee at the Castle yesterday was
attended by a large number of persons, as a great
many took the opportunity, under cover of top coats
and cloaks, to see for the first time the interior of the
viceregal court. No cards were left, and compara-
tively few names were considered sufficiently pre-
sentable to appear in the morning gapers to-day.
The Countess of Eglinton is said to have appeared
deeply affected at the leave taking.
Aa address from the corporation was presented
on the occasion by the Load Mayor and a portion of
the town council, who appeared in their robes. His
excellency, in his reply, made some pointed reference
to the supposed intention of the present government
to abolish the office of lord lieutenant. The reply,
which is remarkable for the language employed on
this subject, is:as follows:
I accept with much satisfaction the assurances of your
regard to me personally, and the expressions of loyalty
which are so befitting in the official representatives of •
great tad influential city. In addressing myself to • body,
many of whom differ from me in their religious creed and
in their political opinions, it would be highly unbecoming
if I were to make the slightest allusion to anything
that has occurred during my government of this country
which can excite controversy or cause distention. I may
have, on the one hand, fallen short of the expectations of
some of those with wham I am politically allied ;
I may, on the other, have failed to give eolliideeCil to some
whose general views are opposed to my own ; I may have
appeared rigorous to some—l may have been accused of too
much leniency by others ; but whatever may have been
my deficiencies, I have acted honestly and impartially, and
I yield up the sacred trust which has been committed to me
with unqualified regret and • conscience void of offence. I
am not ashamed to own that when I found myself unex-
pectedly called on to undertake a duty proverbially difficult I
and to administer the affairs of •country whose misfortunes
have been so multiplied, and yet whim capabilities are so
vast, I did feel some apprehension as to my fitness for such a
positionime doubt whether I was justified in ascepting an
office et se much importance ; but where I feared to be mis-
interpreted I have met forbearance—where I expected
harshness I have received sympathy—and the kind feel-
ings and good wishes which are expressed towards me on
my departure lead me to hope that my motives are appre-
ciated even where my policy may be disapproved of. I
amines paso over in silence one topic which was alluded to
la thearees of congratulatian that you presented to me
on my arrival in this country, and which I am happy to see
forms a prominent feature in this valedictory mark of your
favour—l mean the continuance of tho Viceroyalty. I stated
then that I had always been opposed to the abolition of that
office, and I have to assure you now that permutel experience
has only tended to confirm me in the views which I previ-
ously entertained. I think that such& meteors would inflict
irreparable injury on this city—that it would be a wanton
outrage on the feelings of the people of this country—that it
would be impossible to carry out, satisfactorily, the changes
which it wo.sld render necessary, and that it would be an
unworthy act of imperial parsimony. I t hall carry with
sat late private life the same views on the subject which I

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A BREWERT.—Last even-
ing, about half-put seven o'clock, the engineer at Items.
Chandler and Williams's, the Wiltshire Brewery, Hackney-
road, whilst endeavouring to clamber to the top of the
brewery to witness a fire that had broken out in the neigh•
bourhood, accidently missed his footing and fell into a sop-'
per of water wisely boiling in preparation for the next day's
brewing. A fellow workman immediately extricated bun
from hie dangerous situation, and he wu at once removed
to the London Hospital, but so severely scalded that some
doubt is entertained of his recovery.
AURORA BOREALIS.—On Sunday evening, about
half-put ten o'clock, an aurora borealis wu perceptible
over Paris. About thalf-past Hine the sky got red, and
tom* persons thought that a fire had burst out. By degrees
the light became more and more concentrate.l, and at a
quarter-past ten was at its highest. It remained so for
some time, and then began to decline, until at lag, about
ball-put eleven, the heavens had assumed their original
