will be attached Rawls for the

thousand female children, and a House of Refuge for poor
catholic female servants. The latter establishment will be
situated in Blandford-square. The church was filled in
every part by a fashionable congregation, principally com-
posed of females, who liberally responded to the cardinal's
appeal. Dr. Wiseman did not ascend the pulpit, but ad-
dressed the congregation from the altar. Ile was not
habited in full sacerdotal dress, but wore a rich scarlet robe,

TILE GUARDIANSIIIP OF TILE EASY INDIA. MILI-
TARY COLLIOE, ADDISCOMBE.—This appointment, vacant
by the death of the late Biz Ephraim Stomas, C. 8., in the
gift of the East India Company, has been conferred on
Colonel Frederick Abbott, C. late of the Royal Engineers
in the presidency of Bengal.
ECONOMY IN CoLONIAL EXPENDFITRE.—It is said
that one of the measures of economy which is contemplated
is the consolidation of the duties of colonial treasurer and
ed the commissariat officer in charge of the military chest.
COMMISSARIAT CRESTS AND FOREIGN MONEY
ORDEAL—A proposition was some time ago made to the
treasury, and which (says the Nand and Military Gazette)
is still under consideration, to make the commissariat chests
at our various military stations abroad available for the
extension of the money-order" system to the colonies.
This plan, if carried out, would most materially facilitate
emigration, and go further than, at first sight, might appear
to unite the mother country sad the colonies, by establish-
ing the ready and secure means of making small remit-
tances, not shove SI., to and from the colonies. The army
and navy and their home connexions would benefit by this
arrangement.

ROYAL COLLEGE. OF SI.TROEONS.—The following

dere. Australia; Paul William Bullock, Bristol; Watkin

TILE CASE OE CRUELTY ace DEVONSHIRE—In the
cafe of the Birds, husband and wife, committed at the last
arises in Devon for assaulting their servant, Mary Ann
Parsons, a perish apprentite, it is known that an appeal bas
been hmrd before the judges. Of fourteen judges who
heard the appeal, it is said that wen are of opinion that
the conviction is good, and seven hold that the former trial
before Mr. Justice Talfourd, of which so much has been
said in the papers, is sulatient to exonerate the accused
from all subsequent proceedings. In this state of things it
is probable that Baron Platt, the fifteenth judge, will have
virtually the decision of this intricate question, which has
been found so puzzling, and which on similar occasions to
occur hereafter must have the authority of a specific enact-
ment to guide future derisions.—Oicerrer.
