The ov.::rtanil Russian telegraph has been corn-
Pitted to Vancouver's Island. Telegraphic communica-
tion between Washington city and Victoria, Vancouver,
a distance of 7,500 miles, is now complete, and on April
congratuLttory messages were exchanged between the
authorities of the two cities. About 24 hours were re-
ired for the trans;u6sion of the message and the return
of the answer.
OPENING OF A DRINKING FOUNTAIN IN THE CITY.
(This DAY.)— A very beautiful pablic drinking fountain
which has been erected as a memorial to communicate the
gifts of 6, benefactors to the parishes of Mt. Lawrence
and St. Mary lagtlelene, Milk-street. for the use of
the inhabitants, was opened this day with sonic cere-
mony. The nommrial has been erected in the open space
on the west side of Guildhall-yard, between the church of
St. Lawrene... Old Jewry, and the office of the City law
olficer,, n.; I forms quite an ornament and a structure of
much interest to that immediate neie,hbourhood. Divine
service baying been performed at 12 o'clock in the church,
the vicar, accompanied by the clui,chwardens and other
parochial officers, proceeded to open the fountain.
MISCHIEF IN A CATHEDRAL.-011 Sunday evening
some mischievous scamps effected an entrance into Canter-
bury Cathedral, and lit the large candles on the communion
table. The fact was not discovered till nearly 9 p.m, when
the attention of one of the vergers was called to the unusual
light when of course, he immediately extinguished the
candies which had apparently been burning two or three
hours.—Kentish Observer.
ALLEGED SWINDLING BY A LOCAL PREACHES,
AT WEST iIARTLEPW,L.—LIte Wit crUeSllty) night Ser-
geant Duck, of the Durham County Constabulary, obtained
a warrant, issued by Stephen Robinson, Req., one of the
resident county justices, for the apprehension of a young
man named William Patterson, a commission aml general
agent, residing at West Hartlepool, who has heretofore
borne a respectable character, on a serious charm of em-
bezzlement. Accusation is not proof, and it would perhaps
be premature to enter upon tliejparticulars of the charge
preferred against Patterson. Suffice it to say that, if esta.
blushes!, he has been guilty of a systematic course of swinds
ling, affected in very small sums, and amounting in the
to to not more than some 6W. ; but the character al
aggregate
ence will be greatly aggravated by the pious pretext-
lions of the offender, and the semi-charitable nature of the
institution against whom the defalcations have been madm
Patterson ham been for some time, we understand, a local
preacher in connexion with the primitive methodist body
at West Hartlepool, and has held, among others, an agency
for a provident institution whose head office is in London.
The agency was being for some time prosperously and pro-
fitably conducted, but certain recent drawbacks led to
inquiry through the local medical officers, and an examins-
, tion of the certificates, Icc., the result of which has been
the alleged discovery that the signatures have been forged,
' and other deceptive arts adopted to facilitate the appro-
priation of moneys panning throng
the agent's hands.—

rendezvous wail tree to backers and layers to-day u usual, but
during the afternoon only two or three members dropped in,
and the only semblance of betting waa an offer to lay twelve

BATH AND SOMERSET MEETING.—WKDAFADAT.
The concluding day at this meeting had less interest as affect-
ing the Derby than Tuesday ; in fact, it was the general remark
that never before had the Bath reunion passed off with fewer
sensational featares. The two favourites for the Derby have
maintained their relative positions in the quotations with re-
markable firmness, the form displayed by their respective stables
being all that could be desired by their followers, but
throughout the afternoon 0 to 4 was offered on the
field without inducing backers to Invest. Another Dane-
bury Derby representative, in Lecturer, was introduced into
the market, about whom 5000 to 20 was taken, the
acceptor offering to lay level money the horse started. The
racing commenced at a quarter pad one, and concluded at 4.15
with the Welter Stakes. The Weston Stakes, for two-year-olds,
Introduced Arundel, a colt of Lord Stamford's, who came out
with such a great reputation that in the face of a large field he
wu made first favourite: but Yrirxmnler was so freely supported
that eventually be had the call, and u will be seen had no diffi-
culty in carrying the • • Mexican bine" of Mr. Pryor triumphantly
put the post. The Somersetshire Stakes followed, and twelve
horses of the fifteen "coloured" went to the post, and on the
numbers being hoisted speculation was very spirited, Sandal at 9
to 4 and Lord Zetland at 100 tosO receiving the greatest amount of
support. Pintail, Whalebone, and Nightwatch were the only other
animals supported for sums worth mentioning, and the invest-
meats in their favour were not very large. The race, run at a
good pace, wu, however, devoid of Interest till making the
turn for home, when Pintail and Whalebone singled themselves
out, reducing the race to a match from the distance, and Mr.
Payne's mare had apparently the best of It till reach-
ing the inclotture, where Kenyon, however, called on
the three-year old, who gamely answered, and won
a race by half a length. The winner, although
on good
card u Mr. Ten BroecKa, is the property of Lord Porta-
mouth, and ran la that nobleman's colours. The Bedminster
Stakes afforded another instance of Friponnier's excellence, for
with odds of 9 to 4 on him he defeated his opponents in a
canter. The excellent railway arrangements enabled the visitors
to reach town in good time, and the only noteworthy feature of
the journey was the desire to back Rustic for the Derby, 5 to
2 being taken kindly, and the impression was general that he
would start first favourite. . _

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before lb. Jusiim Montagu Smith.)

John Payee and Jae. Smith eerier, both respectable
looking men, surrendered in discharp of their bail to an-
swer an indictment charging them with the manslaughter
of Mr. Alfred Alford, on the 31st Marsh I.
Mr. F. A. Lewis appeared for the prosecution ; Mr.
Ribton and Mr. Barns defended Pane; and Mr. Met-
calfe, instructed by Mr. Thorns, Beard, of Basinghall-
street, appeared for the defendant Carter.
The Note of the case appeared to be these The two
defendants were the drivers of two rival omnibuses, the
one belonging to the General Omnibys Company, and
the other to a private proprietor of the name of EmanneL
The deceased was riding outside one of the vehicles when
they came into collision, when the deceased was thrown
from the carriage on which he was riding, sad watered an
injury to his leg from which &rantingly his death muted.
The medical evidence went to show that the injuries the
deceased had received to his leg accelerated a pre-existing
disease of the kidneys from which he was suffering.
On the part of the defence it was contended that the
night was extremely dark and foggy, and that both the
prisoners were driving at a moderate pace along the Com-
mercial-road East, and that the collision which had led to
the catastrophe was the result of mere accident.
After hearing the learned counsel for the prisoners, the
jury concurred in that view of the case, and returned a
verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoners were at once die-

lawfully meeting and assembling together on the Queen's
highway for the purpose of betting, and thereby causing
an obstruction to the thoroughfare.
The defendants all pleaded guilty.
Mr. Poland, with whom was Mr. Bailey, stated that he
appeared for the prosecution, which was instituted by the
corporation of the City of London. The facts disclosed
were that from 11 o'clock in the morn•ng until half-past 3
o'clock in the afternoon a great nuisance had arisen to the
tradesmen and other residents in the neighbourhood of
Gracechurch-street, in consequence of the congregation of
betting men in Ship-yard and Bell-passage, both leading
into Leadenhall-market, by which the traffic was greatly
interfered with and interrupted to the annoyance of the
neighbourhood. The defendants now before the court bad
pleaded guilty, and on the part of the prosecution he w..s
prepared, with the sanction of the court, that the defen-
dants should be allowed to go at large on entering into
their recognisance" to appear to receive judgment if called
upon.
The recognisance' were entered into by order of the
court, and the defendants were discharged from the dock.
