ELECTRO-PLATE GOODS.—Thera are few branches of art thal more
perfection has been attained in than in this portion of our manufac-
ture, and the most beautiful specimen, of spoons, forks, goblets, and
other table articles of the sort, m,y be seen at Mr. E. T. Hall's, of 23,
South John-street, who, to his other branches of business, has added
a department for the sale of these articles, having been appointed
agent to ono of the first manufacturers in Birmingham. The designs
in these articles are beautiful, the quality very superior (nearly as good
as silver), and the price, considering all these, moderate to a degree.
An inspection of the goods will prove the above facts.—Northern

NEW PUNISHMENT Fon DRUNKENNESS.—The .Berkshi,e
Chronicle mentions that a woman complained to the
Reading police against her husband for having tied her
hands and feet together when she was drunk. The
husband alleged, in defence, that he did so to prevent her
from breaking the windows and furniture, as she was
" abominably drunk." The woman, when sober, did not
persist in her charge of assault.
THE CAMP AT CHALONS.—It appears that the strength
of the troops now assembled at the Camp of Chalons
amounts to 21,250 men and 5,860 horses, divided as
follows:—lnfantry light regiments, 14,000 men ; cavalry,
six regiments, 4.500 ; six batteries of horse, and six of
foot artillery, 2,000; two companies of engineer, 200 ;
and one squadron of the waggon train, 550. If to the
above be added the detachments of gendaraaey, pompiers,
administrative services, &e , the total number assembled
will amount to about 23,000 men and 6,000 horses.—

CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A SURGEON.—At the

FATAL ACCIMINT TO ADMIRAL HAWrAYNE.—We hair°
received a communication from Lowestoft, stating that a
fatal accident has happened to Admiral Charles S. F.
Havvtayne. He appears to hare fallen from the south
pier at Lowestoft, and sustained such a ccncussion of the
brain so as to render his case hopeless. He died in half
an hour after the accident The late nay2l officer was a
vice-admiral of the fled, his date of rank being in 1856.
Re entered the naval service as early as 1793.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR PRESTON.—OD Wednesday,
a most melancholy accident betel the stoker of a coal
train, running between Wigan and Ince coal fields and.
Preston, on the London and North-Western Railway.
As tha train was proceeding towards Preston in the
afternoon up to Standish incline, the stoker was sitting
upon the engine frame, sanding the lines, when by some
means ho accidently slippe 1 off the en :hart, and falling
upon the rails, one of his legs w comp'etely severed. The
engine was at onca stopped, the poor fellow removed, and
surgical aid called into regni,itioii. He is now recovering-
A FACT RELATING TO THE POTATO DIsEkSE.—It is well
ksown that most of tha growing potatoes began to show'
signs of disease in tne early port of Augu;t, and in other
years the blark spot no sooner appeared than the blackened
top followed in a day or two. Th's year, however, we
have had the spotted leaf for a month or more, and yet
the tops are not quite dead ; but there are several instances
where lateral green F hoots are uniting their appearance.
This shows that dry, weather is the most congenial to the
potato plan', a.,.2,1 that when the cycle of dryer summers
returns, the potato disease will leave us.

LODGING-HSU9E SAYINGS.—(MostIy in use amongst the
lodging.house keepers at Wstering Places.)—Every key
bas its double. A slice or a cut j,int is not missed. An
open tea caddy is good for an old saul. Meat and bread
make Ole cheeks red. llllf a leg is better than no leg'
A trip to the sea side makes one acquainted with strange
bedfellows. You may take the gin bottle to the pump
until it gets broken. Fire fingers bold more than two forks.
It's the last pot of nrrmolade th t breaks the cat's back.
Lodgers find the bacon, and lodging keepers cabbage.
Stranger's meat is the greatest treat. Don't be like the
drayman's horsP, that draws beer and drinks water. The
faster you bone the richer your il:sh will be.—Punch.
SIR NO:IIKAN LESLIn—It may be worth noting, in re-
gard to this officer, recently killed under cruel citeum-
stancs by the Indian mutineers, that though a baronet,
and a baronet's son, he served his time as apprentice to
Mr. John Henderson, draper. Kelso. His father, air
Charles resided more then twenty yeas ego at
Kirkbink, in this county. He left his family in poor eir-
cum:tonces, and they had to betake themselves to such
means of subsistence as came within their reach, and in
this way, Sir Norman was placed 'as an apprentice at Kelso.
He attracted the attention, after a service of some years,
of the Duke of Roxburgh, who procurod him a post in
the Indian army, where he was speedily promoted. Some
members of his family are in K,lso at this time receiving
their edneation.—Xorth British, Daily Mail
