REVOLTING CASE.—The following report of an
alleged attempt to commit a rape by a father on his own
child, appears in the York Courant of Thursday last :
Payler, a chimney-sweep, of middle age, residing in the
township of Ripon, was charged with having violently at-
tempted to commit a rape on his daughter, Elizabeth
Clark Payler, about 18 or 19 years of age, on the 18th of
October last. It appeared that on Tuesday, the 18th of
October, the prisoner went to his house between twelve
and one o'clock, in a state of considerable excitement ; he
was somewhat intoxicated, and commenced abusing his
wife. She was compelled to leave the house, and the pri-
soner then desired his daughter to make his bed. It was
during this period that the crime was alleged to have been
attempted. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty on the
second count for a common assault.—The Court stated
that the case was one of the most aggravated description,
and sentenced him to be imprisoned in the House of Cor-
rection twelve months to hard labour.

Dr. F. Flood, of Craig, county Kilkenny, was thrown
off an outside jaunting car on Thursday last, near Fresh-
ford, and died in consequence, having pitched on his head.
He was about forty, and left a wife and six children. His
brother-in-law, Mr. Burtchael, of Craig, was on the same
car, and when Dr. Flood fell assisted the driver to place him
in the inner part of the car, where he continued unnoticed
till they arrived at Kilkenny, when he was found to be dead.
At the time, the party were on their return from the funeral
of Dr. Fitzpatrick, of Craig, whose death caused a vacancy
in the Craig Dispensary, for which Dr. Flood was a candidate.
MURDER.—At the Glasgow Winter Assizes, iTeid
on Tuesday last, William Neilson was charged with mur-
der, in so far as on the 23d October last, within the house
then occupied by him, situated in a close in cr near the
Bridgegate of Glasgow, he did wickedly and feloniously at.
tack and assault his son, Allan Neilson, with a table-fork,
or some other pointed instrument, and did stab him in
or near the shoulder ; and did also, with a coal-ham-
mer, or some other lethal weapon, to the prosecutor un-
known, strike him a blow or blows on or near his right
side or loin, whereby one or more of his ribs were frac-
tured, and he was otherwise mortally injured, in consequence
whereof he died en or about the 2d of November thereafter.
The jury, after Lord Meadowbank had gone over the
evidence very minutely, retired for about fifteen► minutes,
and returned with a unanimous verdict of culpable lit,micide,
and by a majority of voices recommended the panel tO the
mercy of the Court, on account of the provocation he Ye'
ceived. Sentence was delayed.

The day after the attempt of Meunier a young man
named Monnette; a veterinary student, speaking of the
event in a wine-shop at Passy, said, " that he had long
known that such an event was to happen." This remark
caused him to be seized and taken before the Mayor.
Monnette there declared his innocence, and that he only
rnennt to say, " that he knew of that for some time, having
been informed of it a few moments after it happened." This
explanation not being satisfactory, he was placed in t;2O
hands of justice. It is said that some medical men Were
called to attend Meunier in the course of yesterday, as he
complained of having a severe head-ach. The cutaneous
disease which was undermining his health had struck in. At
eleven o'clock yesterday he was placed in a bath by order of
the physicians. He seems much cast down.—Le Droit.
ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND SOUTHAMP-
TON RAlDROAD.—Yesterday morning, between seven and
eight o'clock, a miner, named Thomas Fletcher, while at
work on the line of the London and Southampton Rail-
road, at Norburton Common, about a mile and a half on
this side of Kingston, was crushed to death by a heavy mass
of earth, weighing several tons, falling in upon him, and
completely burying him underneath. The poor fellow
was extricated as quickly at possible, when his right
thigh, about three inches from the knee, was found to
be completely torn asunder. He was conveyed in a cart to
St. Thomas's Hospital, but had ceased to exist before he
arrived there.

REFORM IN PHYSIC.—It used to be the custom
for the doctors to give the nastiest flavoured medicines they
could compound, as if it was impossible to cure without
such abominable nauseating mixtures. The modern school
at length, has got into a pleasanter path, and we shall soon,

New Yeaic,, day has passed over here with great
quietness. The foolish custom of first-footing is evidently
rapidly falling into decay. Saturday night, in the eastern
districts of the town, where most of the public works arc
situated, was fully as quiet as the evenings of ordinary pay-
days. ,Yesterday the churches were quite as well filled as
usual ; and to-day public worship was performed in several
of them. There were two cases in the police court to-day,
arising from intoxication, and neither of them of a serious
character.—Greenock Advertiser,
