THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

Last evening, the last but one of a series of lectures to the
above association was delivered at the Collegiate Institution,
Shaw street. There was but a very small attendance,
doubtless, owing to the inclemency of the weather. It was
announced that Mr. J. Ewart, M.P., would preside, but in
his abs3nco the chair was occupied by Mr. E. Heath. After
the usual introductory prayer, the Chairman said the chair
should have been taken, on that occasion, by one of the
members for the borough, Mr. J. Ewark, but be was
sorry to say that that gentleman was called to London on
business, or he would most certainly hays been present, and
in his absence, on a very short notice, he had been called
upon to preside, and he would discharge the duty that had
devolved on him with the greatest of pleasure. Having
announced the fact of the gentleman's absence, it was not
necessary for him to read the letter he had sent, but would
at once, as was the custom, proceed to name the subject of
the lecture for the evening, which was " The heroism of the
far East." The notice he had had was so short that he was
not prepared to make any observations of his own,
and, indeed, the title of the lecture wis so
general, it would be difficult for him t ) take
any particular point, but when he introduced
the Rev. ilr. Berrell, they would be aware that they would
have an instructive and interesting lecture. Toe reverend
lecturer then delivered a very highly interesting lecture on
the Christian heroes of the Far East, which was listened to
with the greatest attention by those present. A vote of
thanks to the rev, lecturer concluded the business of the
evenin

NOVEL STEAMBOAT.—Some trial trips have been made
during the last few days of the River Qeeen, built at the
Iron Steamboat Company's yard, at Nine Elms, upon a new
principle, which proved highly satisfactory to all persons
concerned. The vessel, inste -d of being built wedge_
shaped, is round bottomed, and by its novel construction, is
enabled to carry one third more passengers than other boats
of the same length, thus rendering her most eligible for
excursions and pleasure trips above or below bridge.
EXTENSIVE SWINDLING AT WINDSOR.—A person who
represented himself as " Mr. John Winning, appointed
boatswain to her Majesty's yacht at Virginia Water," has
been lately carrying on a course of systematic swindling at
Windsor. He visited several inns, and on the faith of being
able to give situations on board the Royal Yacht to the
sons and relatives of the innkeepers, had various sums of
money advanced. Goods have also been supplied him by
various tradesmen. The other day Mr. John Winning
decamped, in company with a female friend, and a large
reward is now offered for his apprehension.
THE SPANISH BOUNDARY QUESTION.—The plenipoten-
tiaries of his Majesty the Emperor, and those of her Majesty
the Queen of Spain, signed, on the 2nd of this month, at
Bayenne, a treaty destined to regulate the boundary between
France and Spain along the greater part of the extent of
their frontiers. The international act, concluded after a long
negotiation, the duration of which is to be accounted for by
the number and the nature of the questions which required
a solution, now happily terminates some difficulties which
had been in existence ever since the year 1455, notwithstaed-
ing the efforts made at various intervals to substitute for
them a more regular state of things.
CRIME IN ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE AND THE SURROUNDING
DISTRICTS.—For some time there has been a remarkable
falling off of crime in Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge,
Dukinfield, and Hyde, and the several places adjacent to
Hyde and Ashton-under-Lyne, under the respective surveil-
lance of the Hyde force and the county constabulary, which
it is most gratifying to notice. At the Ashton borough
court on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday last week, there
was not a case of the least importance ; indeed, on Wednesday
and Friday there was not a single case, or even a summons,
though Friday is the day for hearing summonses for
assaults, &c, and on Monday morning there were only two
cases against drunk a- d disorderly persons, and both were
discharged.
EXPEDITION TO THE NIGER.—The success which attended
the exploring voyage of the Pleiad up the Niger, under the
command of Dr. Baikie, is, we are happy to hear, to be
followed up, as proposed by that officer; Government having
resolved to send out another expedition. This a humane
awl wise policy. The risk and cost are comparatively
nothing. The judicious conduct of Dr. Baikie has shown
with what security that most dreaded of the African rivers
may be traversed, and how little is to be feared from the
climate, and even from that " African fever," which was,
heretofore, considered so destructive. Expeditions ably
conducted tend not only to cultivate friendly relations with
tne natives, but to check, and in the end, to put a stop to
the slave trade ; to open new channels of commerce, and to
forward the civilisation of the vast interior of Central
Africa. The countries bordering this river and its confluents,
are now known to be admirably adapted for the purposes

The Mr.
Oliveira, M.P., is the chairman, have just issued their
annual report, from which it appears that the question
to which that hon. gentleman has for some time past
dedicated his iefleence and energies is gradually obtaining
an extended and favourable consideration. This is espe-
cially the ewe among the wine-growers of France, of whose
views Mr. Alfred Westphal, of Montpellier, is a most able
and trustworthy exponent. The committee speak in mode-
rate, but satisfactory terms of the success of their under-
taking, and acknowledge with gratitude the aid they have
received from the advocacy of the press. Upwards of £4OO
have been contributed to the funds, which require still
further auemt station for renewed exertions. The meeting
held in the Crystal Palace, in July last, at which upwards
of st)o persons attended ; the International Free Trade
Congress, in September; and the circumstance that peti-
tions were presented to the House of C nnmons last session,
signed by nearly 8,000 persons, sufficiently attest an in-
fluential and increasing interest in the subject matter of the
report.
THE LATE JOHN COLLETT. EsQ.—A melancholy occur-
rence took place on Friday morning, November 28, at
Arnewood house, near this town, in the suicide of John
Collett, Esq., formerly M. P. fer Athlone, by shooting him-
self through the head with a pistol. It appears that Mr.
Collett, who had for some time past been labouring under
an ill state of health, so as to excite alarm for his s...fits,
succeeded, early on the m Tiling in question, in eluding
observation, and, armed with a pistol. repaired to the library
where the sad event took place. A female domestic.baving
occasion some time afterwards to repair to the ep )t, found
her master on the ground, bathed in blood, and bereft o!
life. The shocking intelligence soon spread, and created a
great sensation in Lymington, where the unhappy gentle-
man was well known, and much respec'ed. The coroner's
jury sat on the body on Saturday, and returned a verdict
of "Temporary derangement." Mr. Collett was a man of
considerable wealth, and was, to all appearance, surrounded
with everything calculated to the promotion of a more than
ordinary degree of human happiness. The funeral took
place on Thursday last, when the remains were committed
to earth in the churchyard at Milford.—Salisbury Journal.
CONSPIRACY TO MURDER A GAOL GOVERNOR.— Some
sensation has been created at Bristol since the discovery of a
conspiracy among the prisoners to murder Mr Gardner, the
governor of the Bristol gaol. When the prisoners had
arrived at Gloucester for trial, one of them sent for Mr.
Gardner, -and informed him of a plan which had been
formed by some of the prisoners (three of whom were ticket
of leave men) to murder him. He said that Thomas Vowles
(a ticket of leave man), had a stone about his person, with
which he intended to kill the governor on the return journey
to Bristol, in case he (Vowles) should be convicted. H 9
said that Vowles thought that by so doing he would be able
to obtain possession of the keys of the handcuffs, and so let
the prisoners go, and that two others of the prisoners were
in the plot. Vowles was then searched, and a large stone
was found upon him, which he must have managed to secure
while passing through the courtyard of the gaol at Bristol,
where some building wet going on. The ultimate design of
the prisoners would have been 'frustrated, as though Mr
Gardner always accompanies his prisoners in the carriage, he
makes it a rule never to carry the keys. Vowles pleaded
guilty to a charge of burglary committed in conjunction
with his father. Mr. Baron Bramwell, before passing
sentence, examined Mr. Gardner upon the facts above
stated, and then sentenced the prisoner to be transported
for life.

A CUMBERLAND LASS.—On Tuesday Mr. John Lindal,
shoemaker, Netherwasdale, was visited in the way of busi-
ness by a customer of no common order. This was Mrs.
Wasdale, of Bowderdale, a daleswoman, who has reached
the ripe and almost centenarian age of ninety-three. The
old lady came four or five miles to buy a pair of new shoes
for the winter, and judging from her bale and hearty
appearance, which is really wonderful for her years, Mr.

SLAVERY-WHAT IS SLAVBR

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—The termination of my last letter on this
subject has now brought me to consider and deal
with a most serious and allaimportant question--a
question which many great and enlarged philall,"
throphic minds have shown us plainly by the`c
frequent discussions on the platform, and by contro
versial arguments in various other ways, that theY,
are in earnest in boldly grappling with a work ot
such magnitude and vast importance—viz., education_
for the people; in other words, the great necessity of
enforcing upon the minds of the ignorant and del;
