MADAGASCAR.

The reports of the death of the Queen of Mada-
gascar now come from so many quarters, that their truth
can be no longer doubted. And with her, we trust, ends
the long and bloodthirsty persecution which ha► covered
the fair isle as with a horrible darkness, and been to the heart
of English Christians • ceaseless distress. The son who
succeeds her on the throne has always favoured the
Christians ; his sympathy with them nearly cost him ant
only his inheritsuice hut his life ; and the last authentic
accounts received in this country from the capital speak of
the encouragement he continued to afford them, but con.
I Min no hint of his having adopted the catholic faith. Nor
are we at all inclined to believe in the truth of the story
that he has sought French protection—that is a
lively conception of the people at Minion, who
no doubt knew that it would tickle the ears of
their country folk at home, and that the report would be
the likeliest thing to cause its own conversion into fact.
At the capital, and amoug the }lovas' the people favour the
English ; those on the Western Coast. and among the Lake- i
lavas. are iuclined to regard the French with partiality, as
they have had most intercourse with them ; but it is hardly
likely that the islanders in general would ask French pro.
tectioe while the revolutionary proceedings of Lambert and
Laborde in lits 7 are fresh in their memories. The island
owes all that it possesses of civilisation to England. The
new King will probably establish free trade, and give equal
encouragement to all nations who may desire to open up
peaceful relations with his country. The trick played at
Tahiti is now to be attempted again ; but we trust it may be
defeated, and we have no doubt Prince Radama will ifIUDO.
diately invite the protestant missionaries to return.—

way into the crowd when I was surrounded by three
men, one of whoui was the prisoner. They laid hold
of me, and shoved me into the middle of the crowd,
holding me so tight that I could not free myself.
The prisoner had hold of my vest. I asked them what
they were pulling me about for. and as soon as I could I
shoved one of the men from me. Tho prisoner then walked
away trout me, and I perceived that my silver watch My
gone, suit the chain hanging down loose. I was about
to follow the prisoner, but was delayed by the two men,
who held me lack. However, I got away from theta

♦ BAD CASE..-THE BT. JAMES'S UNITED FRIENDS BENEFIT

BOCIETT.
A poor widow, 75 years of no. named Elizabeth Skinner,
attired iu rusty mourning, and in whose taco grief and po-
vertv were strongly depicted, waited on Mr. Tyrwhitt under
the following eircatu4tanoes . .

The poor ;omen attended about two months ago before
Mr. TyrwLitt, when she summoned the secretory of the St.
Jamess United Friends Benefit Society (a Mr. Lenard),
held at the Hod Lim, Silver•street, Golden-square, to show
cause why he should nut pay her the balance of the RIM
which she was entitled to, in oonsequence of the death of
her husband. John Win. Skinner, on the 4th Oct., 1860,
and who for lt) yearn regularly pail his subscriptions as a
member of the oociety. The secretary then attended, and
said that there were no funds, but that if time were Riven he
thought be should be able to pay the balance (71. 141. , only
41.105. hewing been paid iii nearly &year), and Mr. Tyrwhitt
ordered the summons to stand ortr fur two months. That
time haring expired the poor woman now attended and said
there had been no settlement or notice taken of her claim,
and that she was iu the direst poverty and feared her bed
would be taken from her.

Mr. Tyrwhitt stid she should fume a second summons,
though he feared it would be of little use.

The worthy magistrate, commieerating, the ri-v,r erea-
turo's sad condition, ordered her half a sovereign front tho
poor-box, for which she seemed truly grateful.

WESTMINSTER.
GROW; OUTRAGE UT PIAILOR9.

John Jones and Charles Woodhnot, two sailors, were
charged with the following grow outrage.
Mr. Penn, proprietor of the Crown and Sceptre, Chapter.
street, Vauxhall-bridge-road, stated that at a quarter-past
10 last night the defendant and three or four other sailors
came to he house, and declaring that he would have a gnu.
tity of red-herrings cooked, rushed into the pnvate
kitchen with some of his companions and threw them upon
the fire. Complainant remonvtrated with them, when de..
fendaut Jones gave him a violent blow in the face. After
repeating the asuult twice, the whole party were got out of
the house, but shortly afterwards Jones rushed into the
house again, and soon there was a great alarm, violent
screams, and cries of murder, and it was then suer.
tamped that he had gone to one of the bedrooms
where the nursery-maid, a girl 11 years of age, and some
other children were, and was breaking it open. He had
smashed the panels of the door, and the nurse girl and chil-
dren were shrieking at the windows for help. Complainant
went up to the bedroom door to the rescue of his family,
when Jones, who is a great powerful man, immediately
struck him several times. Jones then gave him a desperate
kick on the left cheek bone, a second one above the eye,
and a third oue with so much brutility that complainant
become dizzy aed partially insensible. The kicks and
blows threw complainant dowiedeirs, and ho was much
hurt by the fall. Again and again Jones attacked com-
plainant, who was altogether severely injured.
Elvrard Hewlett, of 3, Elisaboth-place, stated that be
was in the Crown and Sceptre Tavern when the defendants
entered. They were desperately violent, and when he
endeavoured to protect Mr. Penn from further violent* Jones
struck him violently.
Police-constable 121 It said that while endeavouring to
secure Jones, Woodliam violently assaulted him, sod swore
he would use his knife if be got a chance.
A crest many other witnesses were examined, who proved
that Jones committed further assaults, and that Woodham
not only struck, hut violently threatened a great many
people. The whole neighbourhood was a scene of uproar
and confusion.

Defendant Jones said he was so drunk that he did not
remember anything about it.
Woodham said he was trying to get his mate home, when
the police struck him, but he never assaulted them.
A woman was called for the defendants, who alleged that
they were very quietly standing in Chapter•street, when
the police rushed upon them mid began beating them fur
nothing.
A second witness gave but little better testimony, des.
cribing it all me a very quiet affair.
Rose White also gave the same version of the matter.
Mr. Arnold said there was no credit to be given to the
defence. The outrage was a groin; one. Jones mut pay
two penalties of 51. each, or be committed for three month,;
and the other defendant, 5i., or one month, both, in addi-
tion, to Mid bail for the next three months.

LAMBETH.

DANGEROUS NUISANCE IN FORE•PITREET,

LATE FIRE IN TOOLUT-BTIMET.
This morning Mr. Edward Wyld, boat builder, of 63,
Foreatreet, Lambeth, and other respectable iuhnbitauta of
the neighbourhood, waited on Mr. Elliott, to complain of
what they described to be an intolerable and dangerous
nuisance, and to request his magisterial iuterference fur
removal.

Mr. Wyld, who was spokesman, said that a short time
ago s large premise* in Fore-street, Lambeth, used as
a whiting manufactory, was taken by some parties, whose
names he could not uncertain, and soon after some hundreds
of tons of fat and other matter, the remains id the late
calamitous lire in Tooley-street, were removed to and de-
posited there. The effluvia arising from this accuniulation el
half-consumed matter was soon felt to be a nuisance to the in-
habitants of the neighbourhood, and the parties were resins-
strata! with, and they promised that no more of the stuff
should be brought there. This promise wee. however, disre.
gardcd, and though there were from PM to 7.ootons of the Ault
on the premises, waggon-load after waggon-load of the sane
material war brought there, so that the nuisance became,
and was at the present moment, of such an intolerable kind,
that unless prompt measures were taken to remove It, some.
thing serious must be the consequence.
Mr. Elliott—The inspector of 1111111300011 to the parish is
the proper person to apply to.
Mr. Wyld—We have applied to that officer, your worship,
and he tells us he must have the *section of the vestry
before he can move it, and in (act lie baa advised us to
come before your worship. The ease, I assure your woe-
aliip, does not admit of delay, and if the nuisance is not at
ooeei removed the consequences may lie very serious. I
myself have a child very ill, and the medical gentleman in
attendance attributes its illness to this nuisance, and I there-
fore got a certificate from him, which I beg to place before
your worship.
On reading the certificate, Mr. Elliott at once granted e
summons under the N WISDOM Removal Act.

FIRS IN THE OLD KENT-ROAD.—(THIS DAY.}
This (Friday) morning, at an early hour, a tire broke out in
the premises belonging toMr. J. Cockney, a chandler'sabop
keeper, carrying on holiness at No. 14, Brook.place, neer
the Green Man-gate, Old Kent-read. Fortunately the
whole of tie toilettes ?nonage.' to effect a retreat from the
back window' and reached the yard to lady. The flames
could not be extinguished until the whole of the stock in
trine was destroyed, and the remainder of the property
damaged by heat and smoke. The origin of the tire is
unknown. The sufferer was insured in the Plumes Fire-
office.

FATAL MIKTAKE.—(THIB DAY.)—About I this
morning, while Sergeant Boden, 11 1), was passing aloeg
Oxford-street, he heard cries of " Police!" and on proceeding
to No. 315, Mr. Reilly's, gunmaker, he saw a female in her
night-dress at the door, who stated that her husband. Mr.
Baker, foreman at Mr. Reilly's, had been poisoned by tais•
take, and upon entering the shop with Rowlett, 145 C. the
sergeant found the deceased lying on the lower steps of •
staircase leading to the shop, with his head hanging &ea.
Medusa assistance sdily arrrived, but too late to be of
any service. Mrs. Baker states that her husband, ls•in.;
taken ill, sent her down to a safe in the Atop for a
draught, and immediately on his taking it, he exclaimed,
" This is the wrong bottle—this is poison." It apt.wrt
that a bottle containing poison was kept in the safe, the
article being used in the business, and hence the mistake.
The deceased, as soon as be found the mistake, took an
emetic, but without any effect. Mrs. Baker, as may be
supposed, was nearly distracted. Information has been
forwarded to Mr. Bedford, the coroner.
ANOTHER Arrsurr TO Urn= A RAILWAY TRAIN....
Information was received this morning at the Paddington
terminus of the Great Western Railway that au iefamal
attempt was made to upset the 6.30 p.m. train at Wrexhapis
by placing one of the iron chairs used for laying the mils
across the line. At the spot where the chair was tosi
the line runs over a high embankment, below whk is a
large pool of considerable depth, and had the engine been
thrown off the line the consequences must have been nest
disastrous.

Bayard Taylor, in • recent letter to an American journal
Mil °enemy, "it is well known, suffered seriously
from a lack of the article of vanity, but his supply is really
greater than I had anticipated. In Gotha is pub-
belied the Almanac de Gkehn, the moat aristocratic
calendar iu the world, containing 'the only reliable' pedi-
grees and portraits of the mieued heads. Well—last sum-
mer, the publisher was surprised by the reception of a
portrait of Mies Harriet Lane, forwarded by her uncle, with
a rposet that it la engraved for next year', Afaioriae, a,
ear republican rulers had a right to appear io the company
of the reignisg families. It is • habit of many of our eoli•
ticians to pay for having their portraits in the illustrated
papers, but I had hoped that our late Executive possessed
a little too much dignity to knock at the door which wee
certain to be slammed in his fec•—eri it wee. Perhaps I
ought not to disturb his tubes, but his historical picture
ism near complete that this additional touch will not alter
•
a feature."

"Only the other day," says a letter from Berlin,
" we bad • fresh exemplitiattion of what terrible lengths
the duelling minis is apt to lead its adepts. Colonel
Fechenbach, • nobleman iu Use Austrian service, belonging
troth* toiler•! gsrri.on at Fmnkfort,fell in love with a young
poly whom hie family supposed to be beneath him in point
of rank. Wishing to disentangle him from thecharma of the
fair Pyrite. they despatched one Freiherr von der Tans, a
very old frilled of the family, and himself advanced in
years, to play the part of Mentor to the smitten soldier.
The Freiherr, who was formerly a major in the Bavarian
army, repaired to Frankfurt, did his best with
Colonel Frebenbsch, with but little result as to
the relations of the two lovers. It has not tran-
spired which of the two lost pedigrees first, the monitor
or his unwilling charge ; but one day, while seated
at the table ,thdie of the famous Hotel de Resale, the
Mends entered into • dispute, which, according to their
particular notions of intercourse between geutlemen, could
only be settled by an appeal to arms. That very after-
noon the duel came oil, when the poor old Freiherr, who
had unglertakou the errand in the kindest spirit of disin-
terested frieedship, was killed upon the spot. Hs had just
a moment left to give his hand to the murderer before his
spirit flitted from its earthly tenement. Colonel Fechen-
bach is now • fugitive, without a home or a friend, and
with plenty of leisure, we should invizine, to reconsider
the justice and morality of following out the so-called code
of honour."

Au imcapcd convict named! Herman was captured
