MR. GREGSGN, M.P. FOR LANCASTER, has pre-
sented that borough with baths and washhouses, recently
erected there, at a cost of about £5,000.
IN proof of the great heat this year, it may be
mentioned that the water of the Seine has fallen
to the level of the great drought of the year 1719, which
forms the zero line of the metrical ladder on the Pont
Royal for measuring the standard depth of the river. This
is the second time only since that period of nearly 150
years ago that it has fallen to so low a level.— IP ine Trade

FUCHSIAS IN BLOOM.—Fuchsias require a little
shade when in bloom, and then it it as well to dis-
continue syringing. Nevertheless, they Will bear any amount
of light if at the fame time they are well ventilated, and
they will enjoy water over-head, but it splashes the pollen
about on the foliage a little. Our trial fuchsias have had
such a blaz3 of sun on them this summer as ought to have
killed them outright, if all be true that is told in the bcoks.
Bear in mind that if you expose plants to intense sun they
must have a thorough draught of ventilation at the same
time, else scorching is sure to take place—llibberd's Gar.

ALLEGED MURDER OF AN OLD MAN IN WILT-
SHIRE.—An old man named Fat'brook was found
dead a few days ago in a stable at Minety, and a man named
Taylor is now in custody of the Wiltshire police charged
with wilful murder. A deal of evidence has been adduced
against the prisoner before the Malmesbury magistrates,
and the case is not yet closed. It appears' that in the neigh.
bourhood of the Minety Station of the Great Western Rail-
way there is a small publichouse called the Red Lion, and
the deceased was engaged there at times, for which he re.
ceived his meals, and was allowed to sleep in the stable. A.
few mornings ago he was found in the stable dead. Mr. Law-
rence, surgeon, of Malmesbury, examined the body, and
found that there was a severe bruise over the left eye, besides
a bruise below the right collar-bone; and on a post mortena
examination discovered that there were injuries to the head
sufficient to cause death. On the day before the deceased
was found dead he was seen by a policeman with a black eye,
and when asked how he came by it he told the officer the
prisoner struck him very violently and caused it. Witnesses
have been examined who swear that one night prisoner re-
turned from Malmesbury intoxicated, and that he struck the
deceased a tremendous blow. It also appears that the pri-
soner has previously been charged with serious and violent
assaults. Though the Coroner's jury returned a verdict to
the effect that the deceased died from injuries inflicted on
his person, but by whom and how there was no evidence to
show, the police authoties are not satisfied with the verdict,
and they have therefore detained the prisoner in custody,
Active inquiries are stilt being made, and, as already stated,
the proceedings before the magistrates have not terminated.
THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER GEORGIA.—The
English brig Kanagona, Capt. Romerell, from New
York, which arrived at Rio Janeiro on June 14, reported
to the Jornal do Commercio that on the 11th of that month;
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, she was boarded by a steamer
bearing the British flag. On being boarded the captain was
questioned on a variety of subjects—among other things,
in reference to what American vessels had left or were to
leave Northern ports ter Brazil. Capt. Romerell could give
no information of value. After examining the ship's papers
the boarding officer told Capt. Romerell that ha belonged
to the Confederate steamer Georgia. He then drank a cup
of wine, and said that his ship's crew were greatly
disap-
pointed in not having captured some rich prizes since their
seizure of the George Griswold, while the Alabama and
Florida were committing so many ravages, Re dim
