THE GUARANTEE OF AUSTRIA.

The Daily News maintains that Mr. Disraeli is bound to
prove that his recent assertion, respecting a treaty with
Austria was made in good faith, and that he ought to give
his authority and the corroborating circumstances which
induced him to give credit to the statement.

HOPE HALL LECTURES.—The usual weekiy lecture of
this course was delivered in the Hope Hall last night, by
the Rev. R. H. Lundie ; the subject being The Cata-
combs of Rome." There was a very crowded attendance.
The chair was taken by John Farnworth, Esq., who, in a
few words, introdnced the lecturer and the subject. The
Rev. Mr. LuLdie then delivered a lecture which, although
upon a subject one might have thought well nigh
exhausted, contained much that was new in description and
suggestion ; and which was throughout varied, instructive,
and having many brilliant, reflective, and descriptive
passages. The lecture was illustrated by a number of
diagrams and drawings.
ST. GEORGE'S HALL.—We wou'al again draw attention
t) the concert, to come cff this eveni;T, at St. George's
Rail, for the benefit of the widow and orOans of the late
Mr. G. Holden. Independent of of the chatitz2)le purpose
for which this concert is got up, the local talent vv,lio have
promised to assist on the occasion, will afford a treat seiciO.ni
to be met with. The choir and band of the Philharmonic''
Society, in conjunction with the members of the Festival
Choral Society, will form one of the most efficient
musical bodies ever congregated within the finest hall in
Europe.

which had draost entirely burnt out. Alarmed at such an
awful scene, he ran out and fetched a neighbour ; upon
their return they found the girl to be quite dead, her head
and various parts of her body bearing frightful evidence of
the cads of the fire. She hid been subject to fits ; and it
is supposed that while sitting near the fire she had been
thus seized, bad fallen forward, and ber melancholy and
untimely dealt was the consequence. An inquest was held
on the body on Thursday last, and, in accordance with the
evidence, a verdict to the effect that she died from a sudden
attack of fits was returned.— Hereford Journal.
IRIS!! PALTERS FROM SC '.T.LAND.—Within the last tea
days the following paupers have arrived by steamers at the
quays in a very destitute condition :--Susanna Lynch, who
had lived in Glasgow for the last fifteen years, applied for
relief at the office of the parochial authorities there, but was
refused, and immediately despatched to Belfast in the Elk
steamer. When she arrived here she was weak from exhaus-
tion and, late delicacy of health. Captain M'Bride bad this
poor woman sent to lodgings for two days, and afterwards
had her reconveyed to hcotland, she being totally unknown
to any one in this country. Mary Linn and two children
were sent over in the same manner by the Carlisle
authorities, in the Whitehaven steamer. Captain M'Bride
had this poor family also sent back to Scotland, as they knevi
no person in or about this. neighbourhood. Edward Fin-
