lkfurrltto or SHIPWRIGHT/I.—Ltd evening a no-

adopt reessme for obtaining a more equitable system of cal -
Mather the wages earned by this body of artisans. Several
addressee of a practical nature were delivered, and it was

THE EDINISUROII ANNUITY TAX PROSECUTIONS.
—On Monday came before the High Court of Justiciary,
at Edinburgh, the cues of Kr. Jamas Hunter sad Mr.
Thomas Pennock resisting the °Mom in the execution of
their duty while collecting the above tax. The jury returned
a verdict of acquittal in both cam, an announcement which
was reeelved with loud cheer,.
ECCLESIASTICAL PRIFERMENT.—We understand
that the Rev. C. Les, incumbent of St. Mary's, Bilaton, has
recently been appointid by the Bishop of London to the
incumbency of a bring at Camden-town, London. Mr. Lee
enemeded the Rev. J. B. Owen, about five years ego, and is
very highly esteemed by the evangelical party in Bilaton.
A meeting of the wardens and pewholdm of St. Mary's
ma held in the school-room on Friday last, for the purpose
of determining what steps should be taken for securing the
appointment of a proper person as Mr. Less successor. It
was decided that memorials setting forth the wishes of the
congress inn should be forthwith prepared for prewetation
to the bishop of the dlooese, in whom the rigLt of the pre-
sentation is vested. Since then the memorials have been
prepared and signatures are now being obisined.— Wolver-
hampton Chronicle.
EXTRAORDINARY LEAP FROM A RAILWAY CAR-
11A0R.—As the down train due at the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton railway station. Bilaton, at noon,was
approsohing that station on Sunday last, a woman eaped
through the carriage window on to the apace between the
two lines of ralls. The train wee at that time not more
than a hundred yards from the platform, and as soon
as it had stopped the station-muter, guard, and others
ran to the spot, and conveyed her to the waiting-room.
She was found to have sustained some very severe
superfloisi injuries to the head and face, in Million to
being much shaken. Her dress and appeataece indiceted
extreme poverty, and she at first refused to state who rhe
was, but ultimately said her name was Martha Bate, that
she was a single woman and lived at Morley. She had
taken a ticket from Dudley to Dailey Bank, and it is con-
jectured that having passed that station she feared she
should be charged extra fare, and so formed tte rash resolve
to leap out of the carriage. Fortunately the train was pro-
ceeding at a slow rate at the time, or the con.equences would,
most likely, have been fatal. Dr. Sparkman end Mr. Wise,
surgeons, were sent tor, and every attentiou haring been
paid to her, the poor woman was conveyed to her home fa
a cab.
FATAL GOl4 ACCIDENT: A distressing accident
occurred on Monday at Teed:rough, near Donster, Somer-
set. Mr. Henry Paul, wine and spirit merchant, of Clifton,
who had been on a visit to his brother-in-law, Mr. Fulda*,
of Treborough, west ont shootion, and in the course of the
day, having discharged one of the barrels of his gun, pro-
ceeded to ?sled it, unmindful that the other barrel was
charged, and the trigger at half-cock. The accident which
has frequently before occurred happened in this instance.
On the insertion of the ramrod the leaded barrel exploded,
and ita contents, 'uterine the eye of the tuttortanate gentle-
man, completely blew off the upper part of the head, and
death was of mires inatantansons. r. Paul, who held a
high position moon the trading colabennity of Bristol, and
was universally respected, has left a widow and a large family
to deplore his untimely death.
BALE OF WINES IN FARDL—Tits sale of the late
Lord H. &ymout's wine by auction otimismared on Monday,
and was attended by a great crowd of gourmets. For the
fire hoer or two, in fact, it was almost iseporalble to get in,
and police-officen were in attendance to preserve order,
although their interference was not regain-el. The prices
given were in NOON cases extraordinarily high, oresidering
the quality of the wine sold, which, although good, cer-
tainly were not equal to what has bean seen of late
years at many ether MIMI. Premising that the wines
