dez I, came into collision with the British ship G. P. Blan-

STATE OF TRADE IN BACUP.—The cotton trade
in Bacup and district bears a mere unfavourable aspect
than it did some few weeks ago, nearly all the mills work-
ing considerably less tim3. At the meeting of the Board of
Guardians held on the 231 ult. it was thought advisable to
request the relief committees in the various townships of
the union to consider the propriety cf recommencing the
distribution of relief.

Lieutenant Charles A, F. Peget, being officer of the first
watch, in making sail the main topsail tye was carried away,
and he was struck on the heaa by the fly-block, which
fractured his skull. He remained insensible and died in
ton minutes. He was buried the next day with the umal
honours, deeply deplored by his messmatas and shipmates.
This promising young officer was the third. eon of Lord
William Paget and grandson of the late Marquis of
Anglesey,

THE BRECHIN BATHING CASE.—A few niontn3
ago several respectable youths belonging to Brechin were
tried before Sheriff-Substitute Robertson, at Forfar, on the
somewhat singular charge of exposing their persons by
bathing in the river Southesk, near Brechin Castle. It
was pleaded on behalf of the youths that the citizens cf
Brechin had been in the habit of bathing at the same
place from time immemorial, though the Earl of Dalhousie
was now endeavouring to put a stop to the practice; and
also that it was preposluous to charge them with ex.•
posure, considering that the trees at the part of the
river where they ware bathing completely shut them cut
from public view. However, notwithstanding the ma-
nifest absurdity of the charge, Sheriff Robertson found
it proven, and sentenced the youths to pay a heavy fine, or
be imprisoned for a limited period—one of the lads, who
was unable to pay the fine, having to go to prison until the
money was raised by. subscription. The decision caused a
good deal of indignation in Brechin and elsewhere, and i:
was resolved to take the matter to a higher cout t. The
case accordingly came up before the Lord Justice Clerk and
Lord Neaves iu the Perth Circuit Court on Friday, in the
shape of an appeal against the decision of the sheriff. Mr.
I. Guthrie Sniith and Mr. B Your appeared as counsel iur
the appellants. After a lengthened argument had been
gone into, their lonlships held that the decision of the
sheriff,;was not a sound one. They therefore reversed it,
ordered the fines to be refunded, and granted £l`,Z 12s. cf
expenses.— So; t i Bt it:sh Mai/.
