We have much pleasure in announcing that the
National Guard of Syra, has spontaneously elected
M. Stefanos hon. sec. of the Philhellenic Committee of Lon-
don, one of its captains. The news of this flattering dis-
tinction was forwarded to Captain Xenos by the Mayor of
Syra, who, in a very complimentary letter, says, " Syra does
honour to herself in conferring honour on one of the truest

of Greek patriots.'
THE WORK OF THE LATE SESSION.—In the re-
cent session, which commenced on the sth February, and
ended the 28th July, there were 125 public acts passed,

against 114 in the preceding year.
THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—The
public will learn with pleasure that the directors
of the Brighton Railway have resolved upon making a
general reduction of fares between nearly all their stations.
The new scale of charges comes,into operation to-day, and
there can be little doubt that a large increase in the number
of passengers will soon prove that the reform is a wise one.
This course of conduct on the part of the directors is all the
more commendable, inasmuch as the traffic is under their
own control, and nit in any way disputed with them by a

rival company.
THE SCOTCH PURITANS.—The Free Presbytery
of Edinburgh have determined to apply to the Lord Pre•
vost of Edinburgh and the Provost of Leith, requesting
them to make a representation to Admiral Dacres to secure
that the Channel squadron be not opened to visitors on
Sunday, so long as the squadron remains in Leith Roads.

A FLYING MAN.—The Journal de Constantinople
publishes the following strange story :—" One
evening last week two young men of the Isle of Prinkipo
were returning in a caique from a sporting excursion on the
coast of Asia, when they suddenly heard a noise for
which they could not account ; but soon after they per-
ceived over their heads an enormous bird, the sight of
which filled them with alarm. Seizing their guns they
both fired at it, and were still more amazed when they
heard broken words and cries which could only proceed
from human organs. They at once steered for the spot
where the supposed bird had fallen, and were struck
with stupefaction on finding that what they had taken
for a volatile was a man with an immense pair of
mechanical wings. They took him into their boat, and
wore not a little relieved on finding that he had only
received a few small shot in the legs. This new lesson
was flying from Antigone to Plati to visit a young person
whom ho wished to marry, but whose parents were opposed
to the match. To visit his lady love ho had invented and
made the wings he wore, and had already twice crossed
the strait between the islands. On his third journey his
flight was cut short by this untoward accident. He is now
at Plati."
THE NEGRO IN NEW YORK.—The negroes of this
city are certainly in a very unfortunate condition—
that is, those who are left behind. Hundreds have gone to
Brooklyn, and many more to New Jersey, while all trains
and steamboats leading to the interior have been almost
overrun with the flying blacks. A perfect reign of terror
eists in the quarters of these helpless people. The Fourth
ward has been the scene, probably, of more destruction of
negro residences than any other. There are or were a num-
ber of coloured men's boarding-houses in Roosevelt-street,
and these were nearly all destroyed, Two of them wei e
kept by a black. In a few moments everything of value was
destroyed, and the buildings fired. They soon burnt to the
ground. A German kept a store next door, but ss it was
frequented by coloured people it met the same fate, much to
the anguish of its Teuton owner. The crowd distributed
the contents, as victors do the spoils, In Roosevelt-street,
near by, was a negro barber shop, and the crowd, now
swelled to several thousands, scattered its contents about
the street, and then applied the torch. It was not long
before the shaving saloon had disappeared. The Liverpool
Lodging, house in Roosevelt-street, a place well-known to
the pollee, who have but a poor opinion of its character, was
attacked and burned. This establishment was the resort of
all kinds and colours. Dancing, singing, drinking, ka., wecie
the chief items of the programme. A negro was caught in

LAMENTABLE SUICIDE.—Last night Dr. Lankes-
ter held an inquest at the King's Head, Swinton-
street, on the body of James Twohig, a corrector of the
press, aged 63. The deceased had formerly been a hard
drinker of spirits, and had what the coroner said was called
a gin liver. One of the witnesses attributed all the misehie,
to dram drinking. He lived at 30, Swintan-street, Gray's-
inn-lane, He had suffered for some time in the kidneys.
He could not rest at night. On Thursday morning about
4 o'clock he got out of bed from the loom on the ground-
fluor, ran up stairs, and threw himself out of the second-
floor window. His wife was horrified to find that it was
the body of her husband that passed her bed-room window.
He was dead. The coroner said that persons who drank
upset the nervous system. It was much better to reemtahine
in bed when sleepless than to get out, and so increas
restlessness. Verdict—Temporary insanity.
