DEATH OF SIR JAMES RAMSAY, OF BANFF.—This much
respected baronet died on New Year's morning. He had
suffered long under a painful disease, and was in his
sixty-second year. A warm-heated and extremely
benevolent man, he is much lamented in Alyth and its
neighbourhood. His brother (uuw Sir George Ramsay)
succeeds to the title and estates. In him the the tenantry
of Banff will have continued the advantage of a very
good landlord.
A SIGN or PEACE.--,--It is curious to remark the
changes which take place from one year to another even
.in the toys made for children. Thus it appears that at
preient the pneumatic pistols, which *ere the delight of
our juveniles last year, and were manufactured in such:
vast" numbers as to. raise the price of zinc, have lost all
their vogue. The sale of drums, too, has greatly dimi-
nished. Peace seems in the ascendant now with children
as well as their papas. Scientific playthings are all the
rage at present.—Galignani.
CURIOUS ACCIDENT.—On. Saturday, while a young man
was at work in the Corn Exchange, a piece of heavy

plate glass, -with which a part of the roof is glazed, fell
from the roof, a height of nearly thirty feet. Fortunately
one of his companions observed the glass in its deeent,
and gave the alarm to the
_young man, who had time to
step aside, or he, in all likelihood, would have been killed
on the spot. As it was, the glass fell upon one of his
feet, cut through his boot, and penetrated his foot to a
Considerable depth. —Falkirk Herald.

HUSBAND MURDER.—A dreadful murder has been
committed near Rambouillet, by a wife on her husband

The couple in question, named some time back
left Paris, and lived at a place called Les Breviaires.
Several scenes of violent dispute had taken place between

them, when on the day in -question, the liusband came
home to his dinner, and foundtothing ready.. A:quarrel

arose, at the end of wif

the man was obli

what'he could find, and then he went to bed. Two
hours after the wife presented herself, with her clothes
covered with blood, before the mayor, and announced that
she had killed her husband. The mayor having gone to
the place, found the husband lying dead on the bed, with
his skull fractured by means of several blows inflicted
with a heavy iron bar (hiring his sleep. The woman has
been committed for trial.

STOTUARD'S GRAVE.—WiII no one set up a monument
to mark the " ilis jacet" of Thomas-Stothard in Dunhill-
fields ? There our English Raphael sleeps near to De
Foe,- and not very far from John Bunyan. Surely the
Royal Academy of Arts might within its own body do
something, and at once, for so bright an ornament of its
boly. Look at Rwrors's " Italy," the best illustrated book
England has as yet set forth ! and is not Stothard supe-
rior to Turner, great as Turner is in that matchless
volume ? But Stothard died very poor —it was not his
fault—and Turner died very rich. Stothard's grave, in

a dissenter's cemetery, is unmarked: Turner was buried,
by his own desire, in St. Paul's cathedral ; and Turner left
a thousand pounds poet Prior like—for his own statue
to be erected in the masterpiece of Wren in London's
cathedral.— Illustrated'Lonclon. News. •
THE LATE J. M. KEMBLE. - A friend in Dublin wishes
to inquire, through these columns, whether any step is
likely to be taken for the burial or removal of the ashes
of the late J. M. Kemble. Oar great Saxon scholar has
been dead nearly two years. Ile remains unburied. On
the temporary stone shelf in the Cemetery of Mount
Jerome, near Dublin, on which his dust was placed by
strangers, his dust still lies. .A certificate, testifying
these strange facts, is now before us. Now surely this
ripe scholar deserves from those who were his friends in
life, if not a monument, at least a grave. If they think
not, let them say so ; and the public will then have a
right to step in. The dozen pounds or so required to
house him in his rest will not be wanting, so soon as
those who enjoy the first right to discharge this 'Amu
office shall distinctly yield their claim. At all
this scandal of an unburied body ought to cea,.

WAGES RIOII—A.AIONGST SEAMEN-ATIIMI,T9I..
On Friday. !a.ft,:iiiieon, 'about three o'clock, a most
disgraceful riot took place on the Broad Quay;.-amengst
a number •of sailors, in the course of which --they
violently assaulted Mr. John Leech, master' cif the
brig Gleaner, of Gloucester, bound 'up. the ,Iklediter-.
rauean. The circumstance of a disturbance amongst
the sailors of the port brought many to the scene of
action from feelings of curiosity--=for. we are. glad to
state' such occurrences are almost unknown • amOngst
us. It' appears that within the last two do,T6 Mr.

are notorious. Jr. Leech incautiously came ashore to
pay Some lumpers, and was at once very roughly handled,
not only, ay the_ seamen but by the rabble (at all times to
be found in such places), and, as the question of wages
is always. a_. popular one amongst the working 'classes,
they failed not to obtain the assistance of 'people us- evil
disposed, as themselves. :The bonnatless women of the
dark alleys and impure lanes joined; in the affray and dealt
blows 'to the captain, while the scoundrels who commenced
the riot jostled him about • in 'the most brutal- way_
Their yells and imprecations could be heard a long dis-
tance off, and, Considering the excited State of the mob, it
is nmost fortunate circumstance that lie personal injury
was done to anyone but the captain. 'The seamen remained
on board, the threats of the mob heing•of such a dia-
meter that it was deenied desirable, for their own safety,
that they shOuld not stir. The Captain. was pushed-
about and-beillten unmercifully until he took refuge in
the shop of Mr. Langford, Broad Quay, whgt,he was
desired by a police officer to remain' until he procured
a sufficient number of officers to justify an interference.
Accordingly Mr. Bell sent down six policemen-from the
central station, who succeeded in Capturing four orthe
male ringleaders and one woman,' whom they conveyed
to the station-house, with a man that attempted the
rescue of the female. As may be readily imagined, a vast
crowd assembled, whose dispersion was no easy task. The
captain stated, in reply to the observation's of the parties
who interrogated him, that in giving £2 7s 6d to the
sailors, he had made an advance of 2s 6d a month on the
wages that were now 'paid.

threatening that, if he did not obey-, every man from the
