COLLISIONS AND Loee OF LIFE. —Two serious ac-
cidents, involving loss of life and the sinking of two vessels,
were reported at Lloyd's. One happened off Grimsby on
Thursday, when the brig Lark, Captain Grimsby, was run
into in Grimsby roads by the Russian screw steamer Kieff,
from Cronstadt. Two of the crew perished ; the captain
and rest of the crew were picked up after much difficulty.
The other accident was to the schooner Jane and Mary, on
hallway from Cardiff to Liverpool, when she was run into
by the schooner Mary Edward Jenkins, and so great was
the force that the schooner Jane and Mary filled and went
down in two or three minutes, Captain Hughes, one man and
a boy perishing.
FRENCH CONSULAR CHARGES.—A correspimilence
has been published between Messrs. Scott, manufacturers,
and Mr. Cobden, relative to French consular fees, in which
the latter states that the French commis are authorised to
charge Si., or 4s. for a consular certificate of origin, and 2e.
legalisation fee by an English magistrate. It appears that ,
the use of the term ' authorised" has given rise to some
misconception. It has been understood to imply that the
consuls nay charge or not, whereas they have to account
for all such fees to their own government, and if they did
not charge would have to pay the amount out of their own
pockets. Previous to the Ist Nov. the charges were 10s.
for each, so that under the treaty the fee has been lowered
by 6e. in the one case and Ba. in the other. The fees will
probably be totally abolished so soon as commercial treaties
with other countries shall have put au end to the tempts.

English origin.

Ngsr.—Convulsions, Fite, Epilepsy.—These attacks, common to
all ages and all reasons, cannot be neglected without danger to
intellect or life. Epilepsy especially requires prompt treatment,
as it springs from a scrofulous state of the habit, which can only
with certainty be moved In early life. For curing this terrible
class of diseases Holloway's remedies have held an enviable noto-
riety for more than a quarter of a century. The Ointment should
be rubbed twice Artily over the stomach and spine, as persever-
ingly as ttalt is !lathed in meat. At the same time Hollowacs
Pills should he freely taken in doses, to act energetically on the
bowels, so that the system generally may be thoroughly cleansed.
