PERMITTING DRUNILBNNRSS.—EIizabeth Bleasdale, the
keeper ef a public-house at the corner of Russell-street,
Copperas-hill, was charged by police-constable 554, with
permitting drunkenness in her house on Monday last. The
police-constable proved that about twenty minutes past
eight o'clock, on the evening in ques ion, he was called
from his beat, in Hothem-street, by police-constable 371,
and from what he stated he went to the defendants house,
in which he found six men, five of whom were very drunk ;
the other man was sober. By Mr. Grocott: He bad been
interned that the men had been fighting. He did not
think that it was his du•y to go to houses and caution
*he people not to sell persons who were drunk liqnor.
Police-constable 371, corroborated the statement of the
officer. Mre Grocott then addressed the bench, and urged
that the defendant and her husband had kept the house
for upwards ef ten years, and there had never been a com-
p'eint made against thorn, and contended that the town
would be much benefited if the constables would pay
more a tention to the disturbances in the street, than to
going inn) houses and trying to get up cases ; instead of
eal-ioning euhlicees not to sell them beer. He called
Tlaemas Strongfellow, who stated he was in the house
when the five men came in. They called for a quart of
ale, but were cot drunk, although they were a little in
drink. The men were very quiet, and left directly
when they were told. The pelicemau called the men
who w: re there " prigs," but they were not.
A man named Sleeg, as printer, was there, and said
all the parties were printers—that one of them
had been confined on the previous night for being disor-
derly, and was discharged. He denied that the parties
were drank. 'ldle barman of the house was also called, and
he stated that when the men came in he did not see that
they were very drunk, and he told the constable so at the
' time. A young lady, the sister of the landlady, said that
she saw the men, and certainly could not perceive that they
had had much drink. There were many other witnesses
ready to give similar evidence, but as thee never had been
a former cemp'ainr, the case was dismissed.
Thomas Carroll, of Lower Milk-street, was summoned
for permitting persons in his house on the Sunday morning,
at half-past ten o'clock. Police-constable 584, proved the
case. The house had been burnt down, and only opened
on the previous night, and the defendant admitted that
he had given two men a glass of whiskey each. Case
dismissed.

o'clock on Saturday morning, lying with the face down-
wards in a clayhole in Belfield-street, Glasgow, in which
there was water to the cepth of about eighteen inches.

delirium he had risen in the night and placed himself in
the position in which the bedv had been found. He has
left a wife and six children, who were dependant on him
for support.—North British Hail.
RYNOVAL OF THE CONVENTUAL ESTABLISIIIIINT AT
WINCHESTER.—.I. special train, which left at an early hour
(tour o'clock) last Tuesday morning, conveyed from Win-
chester the religious community of English nuns of the
order of St. Benedict, who have occupied for more than
silty years past the premises in St. Peter-street, lately
known as " The Convent," but in former times bv the
name of " The Bishop's House." During the sixty-four
years of their residPnce in Winchester, the above religious
body have buried four Abbesses who governed in succes-
sion, and the lady who now rules over them was elected in
1851. She was solemnly blessed and installed by his
Eminence, Cardinal Wiseman, on the 15th of Auguet in
the same year, and is the sixteenth Abbess of their
monastery, reckoning (rim the time of its foundation, in
the year 1599. The community have gone to a more

DIsTE.SriSING BOAT ACCIDENT.—A very distressing
accident occurred on the river Avon, on Sunday marning,
by which a very flee young man, 13 years of age, named
Albert Keel, met with his death. It appears that the
dtceesed, who was the son of a gentleman residing at Yo)
place, Withwic'n-hill, in that city, had gone up the rive, in
a skiff to bathe, and was returning home when he came
into collision with another boat. The skiff was upset,
and the dccfinsol was precipitated into the water heed
faremost, and nevar rose again. As,istance was speedily
obtained, and the body recovered" in about fivs minutes ;
but., notwithstanding the short time that it had been in
the water, and that medical asistanca was at hand as soon
as he was pulled out, there was not the slightest signs of
anirwrian, :lad all atterapai at resuscitation proved un-
availinea It is supposed that the deceased was stunned
upon coming to the bottom of the tiver, as he was con-
sidered a good swimmer.

OCH DALE ELECTION PETITION, —A RACE AFTER A
WirNEss.—We mentioned that the liberals had missed a
witness named anninic 0111 ara, who should have gone to
indon by an early train oa Ttu'sday. In the middle of
the day they got a scent of him ; they found he was at the
Boar's 'lead, along wi'h three other men, who were taking
especial care of him. In the afternoon, they got, a cab

in number, had taken tickets for lfonehesler. The two

their conveyance, when D and his cornr.Janions slipped
them, made their way across a field upon the highway,
signalled their conveyance to meet them, which they
entered ani rode off to Middleton. The liberals set off
agloi in parsuir, and overtook them. The runaways then
took a fresh conveyance, and got into Manchester, the
`seeping close upon their heels. Then commenced

wished to give their pursuers the slip, bat were unable to
do s A-. last they got to the Shakspere Inn behind the
Thea.re Royal, and every one still kept his temper. The
liberals di.ated on the high trims the conservatives were
committing, and warned D.iatinic as well. The conserva-
tives asked D onainie if he would have those persons after
him. He replie i that he wouli not. Then they told him
