HEALTH OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS.—The
health of the King continues much improved, and Mr. 11.
Thompson returned during the week from Brussels. There
is an impression, however, that some portion of calculus
may still exist in the bladder, although nothing could be de-
tected at the last examination. It is probable, therefore,
that Mr. Thompson may make another visit after a short
time,—Lancet.

THE DISCOVERY OF THE SOURCE OF THE NILE.—
All readers will be glad to learn that the Messrs.
Blackwood of Edinburgh have made arrangements with
Captains Speke and Grant for the immediate publication of
what cannot fail to be their exceedingly interesting travels
and discoveries in Eastern and Central Africa. The MS.
is, we believe, already in course of preparation. All who
have had the opportunity of reading Captain Speke's
graphic descriptions of his former travels in Blackwood's
Alagazihe, will anticipate a rich treat from the account of
the more adventurous and successful explorations in which
he has latterly been engaged.—Scotsman.
STAR CLUB OF LONDON.—A numerous meeting
of the members of this club and their friends took

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A WORCESTER-
SHIRE MAGISTRATE.—At the Redditch petty ses-
sions, on Wednesday, Mr. Harry Baylis, an extensive needle
manufacturer, was charged with having been drunk at Red-
ditch on the evening of the 17th inst. The Magistrates upon
the Bench wore the Rev. Mr. Grey, Mr. Milward, and Mr.
Holyoak ; but Mr. Holyoak being in the same trade as the
defendant, refused to take any part in the proceedings.
Mr. Milward, one of the magistrates, was then sworn. He
said, on the evening of the 17th instant, I saw the defen-
dant in Redditch, walking with a friend, arm in arm, and
he appeared to me to be drunk. I followed him, and
said, " Mr. Baylis, you are drunk; I fine you 55."
Mr. Baylis, replied, " Oh, indeed ! here it is." I then said,
" No, I will not take it ; I will send the constable for it
to-morrow." In cross-examination Mr. Milward said the
defendant was making no noise, nor waslhe obstructing the
way. He was walking quietly with his friend, Mr. Smith
—Why do you say he was drunk ? Witness—Because I
thought so. Mr. Smith—Did you, in the exercise of your
office as magistrate, and on 3 our own opinion, take upon
yourself to fine the defendant in the street ? Witness—
I did. (Sensation.) Mr. Smith—Should you feel justi-
fied in committing a man on the spot whom you
saw commit a felony without evidence ? Rev. Mr. Gray—
What has that to do with the case ? Mr. Smith—Every-
thing; I have a right to some explanation of Mr. Milward's
motives. Rev. Mr.Gray—He has a right to commit on view.
Mr. Smith—Not in this year of our Lord, in the streets.
Mr. Smith ('to Mr, Milward)—Am I to understand, then,
that as a magistrate, in the open streets, you find the de-
fendant, although he was not making a noise nor creat-
ing an obstruction, but walking quietly, arm in arm with
a friend ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Smith—And issued the
summons ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Smith—Then you adju-
dicated the fine as a magistrate? Witness—Yes. Mr.
Smith then contended that there must be an end of the
case, as a man could not be fined twice for the same
offence. Rev. Mr. Gray—But he has not paid the
penalty. Mr. Smith—l call your attention to a
previous conviction, whether good or bad matters not to
me.—Mr. Gray—Clear the court. After the lapse of a few
minutes the public were re-admitted, and Mr. Gray said
he thought Mr. Milward was justified in having acted ou
view; but, as the judgment he gave was for ss. without
costs, he did not think his adjudication was right. As in
cases of felony it was the rule to give prisoners the benefit
of a doubt, so in this case he thought it would be best to
give the defendant the advantage of the point of law. The
case would therefore be dismissed. The result was received
with cheers from a crowded court.
A GHOST STORY.—A young German lady (still

living) had arrived with a party of friends at one
of the most renowned hotels in Paris, and occupied, for her
part, an apartment on the first floor, furnished with unusual
magnificence. Here she lay awake, long after the hotel
was wrapt in slumber, contemplating, by the faint glimmer
of her night-lamp, the costly objects in the room, until,
suddenly, the folding doors opposite her bed, which
she had secured, flew open, and the chamber was filled
with a bright light, as of day. In the midst of this, there
entered a handsome young man, in the undress uniform of
the French navy, having his hair dressed in the peculiar
mode a /a Titus. Taking a chair from the bedside, he
placed it in the middle of the room, sat down, took from
his pocket a pistol with a remarkably red butt and
lock, put it to his forehead, and firing, fell back ap-
parently dead I Simultaneously with the explosion,
the room became dark and still, but a low soft
voice uttered these words : " Say an Ave Maria
for his soul." The young lady had fallen back, not insen-
sible, but in a far more painful state—a kind of cataleptic
trance, and thus remained fully conscious of all she ima-
gined to have occurred, but unable to move tongue or hand
until 7 o'clock on the following morning, at which hour her
maid, in obedience to orders, knocked at the door. Finding
that no reply was given, the maid went away, and, return-
ing at 8, in company with another domestic, repeated her
summons. Still no answer, and again, after a little consul-
tation, the poor lady was delivered over for another hour
to her agonised thoughts. At 9 the doors were forced, and
at the same moment the power of speech and movement re-
turned. She shrieked out to the attendants that a man had
shot himself there some hours before, and still lay upon the
floor. Observing nothing unusual, they concluded it was
the excitement consequent upon some terrible dream. She
was, therefore, placed in another apartment, and with great
difficulty persuaded that the scene she so minutely described
had no foundation in reality. Half an hour later, the hotel
proprietor desired an interview with a gentleman of the
oun
party, and declared that the scene so strangely re-e
French
nacted
had actually occurred three nights before. Ayg
officer had ordered the best room in the hotel, and there
terminated his life, using for the purpose a pistol answering
the description mentioned. The body and the weapon still
lay at the Morgue for identification, and the gentleman,
proceeding thither, saw both; the head of the unfortunate
man exhibiting the Titus crop and the wound in the fore-
head, as in the vision. The Archbishop of Paris, struck
with the extraordinary nature of the story, shortly after
called upon the young lady, and, directing her attention to
the expression used by the mysterious voice, urged upon
her, with much fervour, the advisability of embracing that
faith to whose teaching it appeared to point-I,s'l*er%,
Strange Things.
