THE ►STORMY WEATHER IN THE NORTEL—A
storm warning came down to the Tyne on Thursday night
that a gale might be expected from the north; but at that
time the weather was very stormy, the wind blowing half a
gaie from the E.S.E., with a strong sea. Yesterday the
wind on the coast of Northumberland blew from the south-
ward, and several large laden ships, which have been de•
tained with the numerous fleet of laden vessels, sailed from
the Tyne. The weather is extremely cold in the north, and
snow is reported to be lying a foot deep about 30 mike
oath-west of the Tyne.

Dreadful Murder at Derby,

DERBY, Dec. 23.
We have to record another dreadful murder in the county
town of Derby, which for atrocity exceeds the one perpe-
trated two years ago by Richard Thorley. The details of
the present tragedy will be gathered from the following
statement made to our reporter by Sergeant Thorpe, of Ih3
borough police force :

Thorpe said—l was on duty on the London-road at a
quarter to 1 o'clock this (Friday) morning, when James
Potter, a bailiff, aged 55, and who resides in Traciic-street,
Loudon-road, met mo. I raid to him "Potter, are you not
going home ?" and he replied " Not unless you go with
we." I said "I will go with you if you like," and we went
b ,oh to his house together. Potter said " I cannot get into
the house, and my wl'elas locked me uue," which I iifter-
.‘vat ds found was a correct statement. I "TbE!
ate oven, got through the window." Ile said "N,), I tai l

not, unleFs ycu go with me." I s id " Ver7

That's a good fellow." He got through, and I 2.skei ii „zero

DINNEFORD'S PURE FLUID MAGNESIA
has been, durirg thirty years, emphatically sanctioned
by the Medical Profession, and universally accepted by the
Public, as the BFst Remedy for Acidity of the Stomach,
Heartburn, Headache, Gout, and Indigestion, and as a Mild
Aperient for delicate constitutions, more esp .eislly for Ladies
and Children. Combined with the Accidulated Lemon Syrup
it forms an agreeable Effervescing Draught, in -which its
Aperient qualities are much increased. During Hot Seasons,
and, above all, in Hot Climates, the regular use of this sim-
ple and e egaat remedy has been found highly beneficial.
Manufactured (with the utmost attention to strength and
purity, by DINNEFOR,D and CO., 172, New Bond-street,
London • and sold by all respectable Chemists throughout
the Empire.

The jury returned a verdict on the ground of insanity,

His Lordship said that though the evidence was very
scant on the subject, he thought the jury were right.
The prisoner was then remanded to custody, to be de-
tained during her Mejasty's pleasure.
The conviction of a man for robbery with violence, who
was sentenced to five years penal servitude brought the as-
sizes for this circuit to a close early this afternoon.

From the Saturday Review.—" There are certain charac-

from most of the other novels of the season. The interest
lies in the skilful manner in which the plot is worked out by
the subtle brlin and artiul carriage of the heroine."
From the Spectator —" Mr. Dyce possesses rare power.
One of the most successful novels of the season."
From the Examiner.—" This story is teld with much clever-
ness by the lightest of touches."
From the Reader. —" A remarkable novel. The author's

The Fairy Entertainment, entitled
PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
vell, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all t een duly redstered by
htm and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of "The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when " Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'cell of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

TIIE WOODEN-LEG FlRE.—Lincoln was so hard
run for troops once, that he sent out a wooden-
legged regiment as a forlorn hope, the main army following
on behind. Slowly stumping on, the poor wooden legs in
advance grew tired, lay down and slept. So, I caught them,
unbuckled their legs, with which I made large fired under
our camp-kettles, already filled with water from the Rap-
pahannock, seized a Federal fire-engine that was just pass-
ing, and playing boiling water on the advancing foe, boa
them back faster than they came. The wooden-legged
troops had been released as soon as a sufficient number of
trees had been cut down to furnish them with new legs.—
