The news from Rome states that a company has
been formed by M. de Damns to canalise the Tiber,
and form a port at its mouth. This has often been
proposed to the Roman government, but the ex-
pense has prevented it from undertaking the work
itself, and the belief in the enormous artistic and
other wealth buried in its bed has prevented its
authorising the companies which have at different
times been projected for the purpose.
The Bonne has been very animated, and the
game of the bears seems for the present hopeless.

ANOTHER ASCENT OP THE MATTERHORN.

The following letter appears in the Times :
Sir,—As no meetion has hitherto been made in your
journal of an serest of this mountain, woes full accom-
plished from the Italian side on the 17th of July. three
days after the meat melancholy accident, 1 beg to forward

servant, All Eaciummair.—Thee, August 21.
" J. A. Oarrell, A. Genet (priest), A. Mips* and J. B.
Bardolet, all from Valtouseascbs, having related from
Bred at 7 um. on the 16th of Jaly, arrived sheet woe at •
spot a short &tame above the Col de Lin, where they
pitched their torte and passed the night.
" Neat day, at 5 um., they resumed the went. They
found on their way the rope that Profeeux Tyndall had
left behind him on July 28, 1862. The reps had booms
nearly white, but had preserved the strength, the united
weight of three of the party being ineffectual to break it.
They arrived at the Pie Tyndall (se the shoulder of the
mount•ln Is called) about 9.30. Here they made • long
halt. They this directed their steps towards the north by
• kind of gallery, protected by the overhanging of the rook
trom stoma,above. Thence, following an atiic
to the uorth-weet, they easily reached the summit at half-
past 2.
" Here they planted a trioolour flag attached to •a pole
which Mr. Tyndall had left ea the arfte which separates
the summit from the pie which bears his name.
" The gamma of the mountain presents no plateau. It
is an (trite of about 150 yards. This anlie, narrow in the
middle, increases towards the two Gads.
" The guides had not time to remain on the summit,
being anxious to return to their tent before night. This
they safely accomplished by 8 p.m., without having se-
°mastered any difficulty wWiever. They arrived at the
Hotel do Giornale next day at moos."

EIGHT LIVES hoer Ile Hwtirant BAT.—On
Wednesday evening • pleasure boat was swamped on the
Mlxen Sand., near the Mumbles Head, Swans,. The boat
nailed from Heath in the morning, oe a pleasure crates,
with a party of sight persons on board. They proceeded
down as tar as Swansea-bay, and the boat, it apposes, wee
managed by experienced boatman, and it has not been
clearly ascertained how it was swamped. Every effort was
made to win the party by the boats neer, but to so por-
poise, and eight lives were lost. On of the pilot boats
picked up eve bodies, and at the time of the despatch of our
parcel there were three bodies miasiog—vin, Mr. John
Stanley, at Birmingham, aged 20 ; Mr. Hobart Smith. jun.,
London-road. Neath ; and a boatman whose ammo did not
transpire. The sad accident has caused a profound feeling
of sorrow in the district.
A DROWNING BATHER RESCUED AT YARMOUTH.
—Lest Monday aftirnoon witnessed a curious scene. A
bather. too confident of his abilities, swam some distance
out from a machine near the Wellington pier, ahead of
which he was envied by the tide ; tuning back he
breasted the current, which, though the fact is not
generally known, is more powerful here than at other ports
of the comet, but he soon found the waves too powerful,
and wee feat losing strength. By this time every eye was
directed towards hen, but no help seemed at hand.
Another effort, however, be was determined to make,
sod again moved, but becoming quite exhausted his heart
failed him, sod he celled loudly for usietanon There was
a rash towards the bone, and everybody was in readiness
to shove off, when lo ! a about was beard, and a pleasure
boat, which was sailing towards home approached the now
drowning min, who was pulled in by the occupants. The'

party can be better imagined than described, bet in them.

ANOTHER BATHINO FATALITY.—We ere sorry to
hear of the death, by drowning, of • former pupil at the
Devises Grammez School—one who left the school only a
short time ago, fall of promise, and with every prospeet
before him of a successful mid honourable career. We
refer to Anthony Phillips, son of the Rev. Thos. Phfflips,
Reiner of Denali and Callow, near Hereford—a en lad
11l years of age. He was on a visit in the neighbour-
hood of Taub,. and on Tuesday, morning went out to bathe
with his brother, and a Irked named Sparks. The water
was rather rough at the time, and the brother, seeing Mr.
Sparks, who was some way out in the water, look frightened,
told Anthony to go on to land while he went to his friend's
assistenee. The current, however, appears to have nee too
strong for him, for on looking round, be saw poor Anthony
beiog carried out to sea and immediately sink.—Devizes

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL 000IIERENCL
Tuesday evening Robert Portlier, • harvestman, who had
been reaping at Mr. Bareard's, of Hons. Slabbing. was re-
turning to Great Hideak i. and on passing Peed
Fans, Little Sian, was singing, whoa the noise attracted
the notice of three labourers at the latter farm, named
George Cracked!, George Stock, and Charism Hardy.
They wont oat to see who it was, when lOreekaall says)
Poulter challenged Hardy several times to fight. Hardy
would not swept the challenge, sad Creeknell removed
Poulter lower down the field towards his home to pee-
vent their fighting Crackuell and Stook then returned
towards the Pond Farm, lorries Poulter, who carried two
sickles, and Hardy together. Almost immediately Hardy
was heard to call oat, " I am out ;" and it was found on
examination that he was dreadfully wounded in the arm
by a sickle. Cricknell returned to Poulter for the purpose
of taking the sickles away from him, bopisg to prevent
further mischief, but Poulter resisted, sad, flourishing the
males at Cracknell, struck at him repeasedly. Oraciinell
fell down and Posher struck at him while be was on the
ground ; but at length Crack nail enoesedsd is getting the two
halm away. and Poulton went off home. In the meantime
the wounded man Hardy managed to reach the beer-room
at Peed Farm, which he hod feet below* loft, and almost
directly he got in fell backwards from Ices of blood and
died in about an hour. Mr. Sewell, surgeon, of Bordfield
was promptly sent for, bat on his arrival the poor fellow
had been dead some minutes. The out on his right arm
was a fearful one, rod there was a large pool of blood in
the chase and in the room where be died ; there was also •
slight wooed on the scalp of hie head. About 11 o'clock
inspector Gaon received informatios of the matter and
immediately succeeded in apprehending Pother at his
father's hones, so that he was in custody by midnight, sad
the next day was brought to Dunmow poranstation to
await the earner's inquest. The two sickles are in the
n of the Inspector, one bevies a small portion of
mission
haler on the blade, supposed to be that which
caned the node wound. The whole affair has caused a
gnat sod painful anginal in the neighbourhood. The
prima is a single man, and so was the deceased Hardy,
who lived with his mother.—Cheleseford Chronicle.
THE CROPS IN THE NORTH OP IRELAND. —Tbe
past week has been showery and sometimes cold, but not
without frequent gleams of sunshine, and for the meet

Oats will be short in the straw. but of an avenge yield,
