A GOOD WORD FOR GOOD WlNE.—Howel, an
English author of the 16th century, when Canary wine
was coming into general consumption in this country, was
enthusiastic in his encomiums on the new beverage, and
capped it by the following ingenious train of reasoning.
Good wine creates good blood, good blood causes good
humour, good humour inspires man with good thoughts,
good thoughts lead to good actions, and good actions lead
to heaven. Therefore gooa wine leads to heaven,— Wine

THE DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF CHILDREN
IN WIIITECIIAPEL.—An explanation of this cir-
cumstance is given by the parochial authorities. It appears
that the churchyard being now closed the churchwardens
determined upon pulling down the bone house in one cor-
ner of the ground, and have the walls on that side repaired
so as to present a more seemly appearance. In the bone
house the ground bad also been dug up between two and
three feet, and in the earth were the remains of coffins
which contained the bodies of children. The remains dis-
covered in the ground of tho bone house were again de-
cently interred in the course of Friday afternoon in the
presence of Messrs. Hawkins and Cuff, the church-
wardens.
THE THOENBITRY MURDER.—The execution of
the criminal Louis Gough has, it is believed, been
fixed, and will prhbably take place at the end of this week;
but a desire exists on the part of the officials to prevent as
much as possible the assembling of a large crowd, and so
well have the " secrets of the prison-house" been kept that
the day has not transpired. It is known that Calcratt will
be the executioner, and that he will arrive in town the day
before the execution and sleep in the gaol, and that the
execution will take place in the morning as early as pos-
eilAo, according to law.

It is many years since the Island of Jersey was • the scene
of such tumult and rioting as on Wednesday and Thursday
nights last, ending in destruction of property a tid risk t
the lives of hundreds of the Queen's subjects. •Mi 'T. G.
Owens, of London, had undertaken to deliver, in the Prince
of Wales Assembly-rooms, a course of three lee tar es on
" Bible Truths and Romish Errors." The first was deli vered
on Tuesday evening, and efforts were then made by a , num •
ber of Roman Catholics to seize the lecturer, whose life they
had threatened. In this they were foiled by a few friet 'ds
of Mr Owens, who secured his escape by a side entrance to
the hall. On Wednesday night, however, the part whichwas played by the mob proved of a most serious' character.
Soon titer seven o'clock
.a large number of Roman Catholics,
many of them armed well bludgeons, collected at the door
of the lecture hall, end commenced yelling and booting.
They were aided and urged on by between 20 and 30 women
of the low Irish °lees, After creating immense uproar out-
si' e they smashed the windows of the hail by throwing
s'oues through them, while some of the women yelled
4‘ Fire : Fire l" The audience, many of whom were ladies.
now became greatly alarmed, and Mr Owens, who had been
lecturing upon " Indalgences," did all that lay in his power
to prevent a panic. He stood upon the platform, and was in
the act of entreating all to ke'ep their seats, when a large
stone came smash through the window opposite to him,
upon which he quickly gathered up his books and papers
and took refuge in a small room at the end of the hall
whither he was followed by all who failed to make their
escape by the front entrance from the dangers of the falling
glass and missiles. The proprietor of the hall now extin-
guished the lights, and Mr Owens and between 30 and 40 of
the audience (some of the ladies in a fainting condition)
remained prisoners in this ante-room. As the most serious
consequences to life and property were now apprehended,
more policemen were ordered to the place. A large num-
ber of the inhabitants also came forward and watched the
ringleaders closely. Efforts were made to capture two
or three of the most active, but without success. The Ro-
man Catholics, seeing the dangers by which they were now
surrounded, ceased their ycllings, and upon a signal being
given formed in procession and marched along the street
hooting and cheering. On Thursday morning Mr Owens
and other gentlemen waited upon the Lieut-Governor of the
island (Major-General Burke Cuppage) at Government
House, and stated the circumstances to his excellency. This
led to an interview with the bailiff (Mr G. Hammond), and
the constable or mayor of the town (Mr John Gibaut). The
whole of the honorary and paid police were now summoned,
and arrangements were now made for calling out the mili-
tary from Fort Regent. Shortly before 7 o'clock on Thurs-
day evening at least 500 persons collected in front of the
Assembly Reoms, expecting admission to Mr Owens' third
lecture. That gentleman arrived at 7 o'clock, but the pro-
prietor of the rooms (Mr Moss) determinedly refused to
open the doors, and Mr Owens eventually left greatly dis-
satisfied, but not before he had addressed the assemblage
outside. A few minutes after he left the constable of the
parish, who was accompanied by a strong body of the
honorary and paid police,arrived and ordered that the lecture
hall should be thrown open. This was instantly done. He
then asked for the lecturer, and on being informed that he
had just left because he could not gain admission, directed
messengers to go in search of him and bring him as soon as
possible. In the interval the lecture hall became densely
crowded, and there were at least 1,500 persons outside un-
able to gain admission, Mr Owens soon made his appear-
ance. On passing to the platform he was loudly cheered.
After condemning the disgraceful outrage which had been
perpetrated on the previous night, he said that, rather than
see the Protestant fig lowered one inch he would lay his
head upon the block. (Cheers.) After cordially thanking
so many hundreds of the inhabitants for coming forward as
one man to maintain and defend the right of free discussion,
he proceeded with his lecture, the subject of which was
"Transubstantiation and the Sacrifice of the Mass." The
audience cheered him repeatedly, and as no improper inter.
ruption or violence was offered all ended in peace. At the
conclusion of the lecture the constable and his force escorted
Mr Owens through the principal streets, followed by an
immense crowd, who cheered lustily. No further rioting
took place, and long ere midnight arrived all excitement
had died away.

The Grand Duchess of Russia, accompanied by
Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambassador, visited
this morning the Reading Room at the British Museum.
The Princess, who was attended during her visit by Mr
Panizzi, the head librarian, remained for a long time on
the building, and appeared to derive from her visit very
great gratification.
SALMON FISHING IN THE NESS.—The lower

part of the Ness has ceased to be so productive as

it was during last week, owing principally to the fall in the
volume of water, yet Mr. Maclean and Mr. Tait continue to
get a good haul occasionally. Farther up the anglers have
had excellent sport. Mr. Baillie, of Ley, caught a salmon

and three grilse, and on tho Holm water Messrs. Dennison

and Reeve have been very successful, having killed 17 fish,
principally grilse. The Beauly fishings have turned out
remarkably well for the season, In February the export,
including boxes and ice, was 10 cwt; Marcb, 1 ton 13 cwt;

April, 2 tons 2 cwt; May, 1 ton 14 cwt; June, 4 tons

12 cwt ; July, 26 tone 4 cwt. ; and in the first 10 days of
August, 3 tons 11 cwt 3 qrs—altogether more than 40 tons
of fish.-1-nraness Advertiser.

NUREMBERG'S PROMISED MONUMENT TO STONE=
WALL JACKSON...L.2Is way in which Nuremberg has
come to promise it is rather curious. A young man from
Nuremberg, named Volk, emigrated to America as journey-
man cooper. After arriving there his early passion for art
grew stronger; he made ske' ches for illustrated papers,
and gradually became a self-taught artist. The war found
him at Baltimore, whence he wandered south, and was ea-
gaged as a draughtsman on the staff of one of the Southern
generals. He had made a bust of Stonewall Jackson from
a mask which he took from the dead face; and when the
monument was put up to competition by the Southern
Government the young German artist won the prize. But
even then be had to find means for executing his work, and
for this he ran a ship laden with cotton through the blockade
.and brought it to Europe, where the sale of the cotton gave
him the funds required. Ho is now at work on the monu•
ment, which represents the general on horseback, a fine
Arabian steed from Stuttgart serving as a model for the
horse; Jackson's left hand holding the reins, his right rest-
ing calmly on his hip, and his whole bearing characterised
by native boldness and energy,

SIR ANDREW AGNEW'S BROAD HINTS ! (A
PROVERB A HUNDRED YEARS Aoo).—The knight had
been troubled for some time by an impertinent intruder
before a friend was able to congratulate him on being rid of
his company. "All," he replied, "I was obliged to give
thse loon a broad hint." " A broad hint I" said the friend,
wv, I thought he was one of those who would never take
any hint.' "By my faith," rejoined Sir Andrew, " but he
forced to take it; for as the chiel would na gang out at
the ,door, I jest threw him out at the window."

Tim ENCOURAGEMENT OF GENIUS.—The City
Press states tin,' at the late meeting ot the Holborn
Union Board of Gua:dians Scuthee in the chair—a
letter was received from .Mr Leslie, ~secretary to the National
College of Music, stating that " being' anxious to assist de-
serving but poor children wh..l may pou,ess. great musical

they propose giving gratuitous instruction tom,:
and are
If therefore, you have any such in your Union,.
willing on their part to accept this offer, I shall be ob.l7ed
if you will favour me with a communication on the sub-
ject."—Mr Young said he thought they had better learn
them the UEO of the scrubbing-brush,—The Chairman
said the object appeared to be to invite and assist
genius. Ho would like to see an institution to
assist boys of other kinds of genius. It was well known
that the genius of Chantroy was only discovered accident-
ally, while he was keeping cons and cutting a knobstick. A
gentleman saw what he was doing, and examined it, and
was so much pleased with it that he assisted him in his
studies, and the boy afterwards became the eminent Sir
Francis Chentrey —The Clerk (Mr. James) said if ser-
vants were bad, it was not because they were educated, but
through other causes.—The Chairman said ignorance never
made a servant better than education, Inquiries were
ordered to be made:of the Schoolmaster as to any children
in the home of a musical genius.
