DUELLING.—A most remarkable event connected
with duelling was that between Lord Sanquhar, a
Scotch nobleman, and one Turner,rdshafiencinge was-master .Iria
trial of skill between them his lo
accident-
ally thrust out by the point of Turner's
ey
sword. Turner ex-
pressed great regret at the circumstance, and Lord San-
quhar bore his loss with as much philosophy as he was
master of, and forgave his antagonist. Three years after-
wards Lord Sanquhar was at Paris, where he was a con-
stant visitor at the Court of Henry IV. One day, in the
course of conversation, the affable monarch inquired how
he had lost his eye.
Sanquhar, who 'Aided himself on
being the most expert swordsman of the age, blushed as he
replied that it was inflicted by the sword of a fencing master.
Henry, forgetting his assumed character of an anti-duellist,
carelessly, as mere matter of course, inquired whet her the man
lived, Nothing more was said ; hut the query sank deep
into toe proud heart of the Scotch baron, who returned
shortly afterwards to England, burning for revenge. His
first intent was to challenge the fencing-master to single
combat; but on further consideration he deemed it incon-
sistent with his dignity to meet Lica as an equal in fair and
ilo-ht. He therefore hired two bravos, who set upon
open e,
the fencing-master, and murdered him is his own house at
Whitefriars. The assassins were taken and executed, and
a reward of £l,OOO was offered for the apprehension of their
employer. Lord Sanquhar concealed himself for several
days, and then surrendered to take his trial; but Bacon,
in his character of Attorney-General, prosecuted the pri-
soner to conviction; and he died the felon's death on the
29th of June, 1612, on a gibbet erected in the front of 'West-
minster History 9f Feudalism.

ST, THOMAS'S HOSTITAL.

Yesterday a General Court of the Governors of
tit. Thomas's Hospital was held at the London-
bridge Railway Terminus Hotel ; Sir John Mus-
grove presided. Mr. Tito, M.P., said that the
authorities of Bethlehem had proposed that a meet-
ing should be held between men of moderate views
belonging to the two hospitals, but it would be
six 3-ears before it could be obtained. With regard
to the second site—namely, that at Stangate—it
was unquestionably a very open site, airy and
tivalthy, but it was limited to nine acres. his im-
pression was that it was worth £lOO,OOO. Having
generally adverted to the nature of the two sites,
he moved a resolution to the effect that the General
Court request a deputation of their body to meet a
similar deputation from Bethlehem as soon as
possible, with a view to ascertain whether it is pro-
bable that an arrangement can be made for obtain-
ing the Bethlehem site on terms mutually advan-
tageous; and in the event of the Grand Committee
not being satisfied that such an arrangement can be
made within a reasonable period, that they be
authorised and request( d to continue their negotia-
tions with the Metropolitan Board of Works for the
purchase of the site on the proposed South Embank-
ment of the river. Mr, Alderman Finnis seconded
the resolution. Dr. Leeson moved, by way of
amendment, that so much of the resolution as re-
lated to Bethlehem Hospital be omitted, so that the
deputation should exclusively confine themselves to
_ _

the site at Stangate. Mr. South seconded the
amendment. There were, he said, many reasons
why the site of Bethlehem was objectionable. The
first was the time which must elapse before posses-
sion could be obtained ; the next, that the build-
ing itself when got would be of no use, and must be
taken down ; and a third, that the sum demanded
was greater than St. Thomas's could possibly afford
to pay. He had been informed that, although the
Board of Works had asked as much as £135,000
for the land on the river, yet they would willingly
accept £lOO,OOO for it. Mr. James Adams said that
the site proposed was swampy, and aften flooded.
In his opinion, the air arising from the water would
always be impure. Mr. Alderman Sidney considered
that, in an economical point of view, the site at
Stangate was to be preferred. It might be obtained,
he understood, for £lOO,OOO, whereas it was his de-
cided conviction if they were to obtain the site of
Bethlehem it would require altogether a sum of
£OO,OOO. Besides, the whole site of Bethlehem
would be very small compared with the nine acres
of laud at Stangate. He thought, however, they were
bound in courtesy to take notice of the resolution
of the Governors of Bethlehem Hospital. After
some further discussion, the amendment was put
and negatived. The original resolution was after-
wards agreed to without a division. A deputation
was thereupon appointed, consisting of the Presi-
dent, the Treasurer, Mr, Tite, M.P., Mr. Deputy
Elliott, and Dr. Leeson. The Court then ad-
journed.

'EMI PARLIAMENT

'SOUSE OF LORDS.—Last Evening.
Th a Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour.
THE CASE OF MR. BISHOP.
The Marquis of NORMANBY again brought the case of
W.. Bishop under the consideration of their lordships, and
complained of the apathy of her Majesty's Government in
not, urging the Italian Government to liberate that gentle-
man from further imprisonment.

Earl RUSSELL in effect repeated the answer he had
given the other evening, which was to the effect that Mr.
Bishop would be released as soon as brigandage was sup-
pressed. The Italian Government had stated that in the
present state of Southern Italy, and with a due regard to
justice in the case of their own subjects convicted of a similar
offence, they could not liberate Mr. Bishop at present, but
that they would release him at the first favourable oppor-
tunity.

The Earl of HARDWICKE did not believe that
brigandage would be suppressed during his lifetime, and
under such circumstances there was more necessity than
aver of the British Government urging his release.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.
The Earl of DERBY said that on Thursday next he
would ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a
question with respect to the proclamation said to have been
issued at Corfa announcing the annexation of the lonian
Isiands to Greece.

Earl RUSSELL expressed his opinion that no prods.
Illation had been issued in the manner stated in the news.

opinion.

WAR PREPARATIONS IN RUSSIA.

The movements of troops in Russia are daily be-
coming more important. This is especially the case
in the government of St. Petersburg, which is in-
cessantly traversed by troops on their way to the
Baltic provinces and to the western part of the
empire. Th© Russian army in Poland is raised to

150,000 regular soldiers, and is daily augmented.
The greatest activity prevails in the fortresses, the
arsenals, and the depots. All the Baltic forts are
armed and placed in a state of defence. Cronstadt
and the naval dockyards present a very animated
spectacle. The officers and soldiers on leave are
rejoining their respective regiments. The city of
St. Petersburg is surrounded with a cordon mill-
taire ; the examinations of the.passports of the per-
sons arriving is very scrupulous, and the luggage
of persons leaving is subjected to a severe examina-
tion, as the export of lead, sulphur, and scythes is
absolutely forbidden. The engineer had decided
some time ago to raze the fortifications of Narwa,
and the works had already commenced, but on the
Bth the order arrived to atop the demolition, and to
rebuild what had been destroyed. It has been ob-
served for some time that the insurgents frequentl)
attack the Russians in the neighbourhood of rail-
way lines, and that they impede communication
upon the line from Berlin to St. Petersburg, espe-
cially upon the section between Kowno and Wilna.

WRECK OF THE CANADIAN STEAMER NORWEGIAN.

—lntelligence was received at Liverpool yesterday
that a serious disaster had befallen another of the line of
steamers belonging to the Montreal and Ocean Steamship
Company. On the morning of the 14th inst., the Norwe-
gian, screw steamer, 1,800 tons, bound from Liverpool to
Montreal, ran on shore at St. Paul's, Newfoundland, in a
fog. The Jura, which brings the information, reports that
when off Cape Race she was boarded by the crew of the
news boat, who communicated the loss of the vessel, stating
that the mails, passengers, and crew, were all saved. Hopes
were entertained of getting the vessel off. The opinion at
Liverpool, however, amongst those who know the nature
of the coast, which only too recently proved so disastrous
to the Anglo-Saxon, was that the salvage of the ship is
very doubtful.
Advices from Prague, in the Wanderer of Vienna,
state that Madlle. Ponstowottoff has disappeared from that
town. She had asked for a passport to go to Vienna, but
when it was brought she had left the hotel where she was
staying. A friend of Langiewicz has strived in Vienna to
solicit permission for the ex• Dictator to go to a watering i
place in Bohemia, but the request has not been granted.
Twelve colliers in one of the pits or the Wear
had a narrow escape from a horrible death hat
week. Whilst they were descending the shaft in the iron
cage, the crank-pin of the engine broke, and the cage was

WAR PREPARATIONS IN RUSSIA.

The movements of troops in Russia are daily be-
coming more important. This is 'especially the case
in the government of St. Petersburg, which is in-
cessantly traversed by troop° on their way to the
Baltic provinces and to the western part of the
empire. The Russian army in Poland is raised to
150,000 regular soldiers, and is daily augmented.
The greatest activity prevails in the fortresses, the
arsenals, and the depots. All the Baltic forts are
armed and placed in a state of defence. Cronstadt
and the naval dockyards present a very animated
spectacle. The officers and soldiers on leave are
rejoining their respective regiments. The city of
St. Petersburg is surrounded with a cordon mili-
taire ; the examinations of the passports of the per-
sons arriving is very scrupulous, and the luggage
of persona leaving is subjected to a severe examina-
tion, as the export of lead, sulphur, and scythes is
absolutely forbidden. The engineer had decided
some time ago to raze the fortifications of Narwa,
and the works had already commenced, but on the
Bth the order arrived to stop the demolition, and to
rebuild what had been destroyed. It has been ob-
served for some time that the insurgents frequently
attack the Russians in the neighbourhood of rail-
way lines, and that they impede communication
upon the line from Berlin to St. Petersburg, espe-
cially upon the section between Kowno and Wilna.

WRECK OF THE CANADIAN STEAMER NORWEGIAN.

—lntelligence was received at Liverpool yesterday
;hat a serious disaster had befallen another of the line of

steamers belonging to the Montreal and Ocean Steamship
Company. On the morning of the 14th inst., the Norwe-
gian, screw steamer, 1,800 tons, bound from Liverpool to
Montreal, ran on shore at St. Paul's, Newfoundland, in a
fog. The Jura, which brings the information, reports that
when off Cape Race she was boarded by the crew of the
news boat, who communicated the loss of the vessel, stating
that the mails, passengers, and craw, were all saved. Hopes
were entertained of getting the vessel off. The opinion at
Liverpool, however, amongst those who know the nature
of the coast, which only too recently proved so disastrous
to the Anglo• Saxon, was that the salvage of the ship is
very doubtful.
Advices from Prague, in the Wanderer of Vienna,
state that Madlle. Ponstowoitoff has disappeared from that
town. She had asked for a passport to go to Vienna, but
when it was brought she had left the hotel where she was
staying. A friend of Langiewicz has at rived in Vienna to
solicit permission for the ex- Dictator to go to a watering
place in Bohemia, but the request has not been granted.
Twelve colliers in one of the pits on the Wear
had a narrow wimp° from a horrible death Jest
week. 'Whilst they were descending the shaft in the iron
cage, the crank-pin of the engine broke, and the cage was
thus released from all controlling influence. Fortunately,
it was only a short distance from the bottom, and the men
were ranch shaken, but not initu ad.

Stanford's Map of the Nile Outfall.

True to time, Mr. Stanford, of Charing-cross, has
just now issued a capital coloured map of the route
explored by those adventurous discoverers of the
Source of the Nile, Captain Speke and Captain
Grant: It defines, with admirable exactitude, the
tra,k followed by these travellers between Zanzibar
and Egypt. It shows at a glance the relative
positions of the outfall of the Nile from Lake
Victoria Nyanza, as well as of the various negro
territories traversed by the discoverers.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.—It will have been per-
ceived, in a telegram which we published yester-
day, that the Lord High Commissioner has personally an-
nounced to the lonians the proposal of Great Britain for
their annexation to Greece. This formality is an essential
preliminary; but it must not be confounded with the an-
nexation itself—an act which must emanate from, and be
determined by, the population of the Seven Islands. We
have already said that the next step is the dissolution of
the present lonian Parliament, and after this must follow a
certain interval before the next Parliament cau be sum •
moved. The question of the annexation will then be dis-
cussed in the new lonian Parliament.—Post.

On proceeding with him she was found lying on her back
across the threshold of the bedroom door, stiff and

that she had been most foully murdered, every rib
in r body being broken, and her lungs and bowels much
contused. The unfortunate woman had been, it is said, a
confirmed drunkard for some years, and her husband was
rendered miserable by her. On Saturday evening Grant
himself arrived home the worse of liquor, and about 7
o'clock
the neighbours heard a loud noise in the house, and
it is supposed that at that time the murder was committed:
Mrs. Grant, according to the neighbours' statement, was
sober when last seen on Saturday night. Her husband,
who has hitherto borne a very respectable character, was
apprehended on the charge of wilful murder.—Dundee

THE FIFE ARTILLERY MILITIA.

In reply to Mr. WvviLt.,
The Marquis of lIALTINGTON said it was true that

metropolitan police to enforce that system throughout the
entire metropolis.
Sir G. GREY said that, in consequence of the large num-
ber of cabs plying between Waterloo station and St. James's-
street, the order in question had been issued ; but that, to
meet the traffic of the locality three additional cabstands
had been established in the vicinity. A general order was
in existence by which the police were ordered to summon
drivers who might be plying for fares about the streets.

HOUSE OP LORDS—Last Evening.
The Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour.
THE CASE OF MR. BISHOP.
The Marquis of NORMANDY again brought the case of
Mr. Bishop under the consideration of their lordships, and
complained of the apathy of her Majesty's Government in
not urging the Italian Government to liberate that gentle-
man from further imprisonment.
Earl RUSSELL in effect repeated the answer he had
given the other evening, which was to the effect that Mr.
Bishop would be released as soon as brigandage was sup-
pressed.- The Italian Government had stated that in the
present state of Southern Italy, and with a due regard to
justice in the case of their own subjects convicted of a similitr
offence, they could not liberate Mr. Bishop at present, but
that they would release him at the first favourable oppor-
tunity.
The Earl of HARDWICKE did not believe that
brigandage would be suppressed during his lifetime, and
under such circumstances there was more necessity than
ever of the British Government urging his release.
THE lONIAN ISLANDS.
The Earl of DERBY said that on Thursday next he
would ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a
question with respect to the proclamation said to have been
issued at Corfa announcing the annexation of the lonian
Islands to Greece.
Earl RUSSELL expressed his opinion that no procla-
mation had been issued in the manner stated in the news-
papers.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE expressed a similar
opinion.
London, England, 1863-06-24

THE EXECUTIONS IN POLAND,

The Silesian Gazette, in a letter from Warsaw
of the 12th inst., gives the following details rela-
tive to the late executions in that city:—" At four
o'clock this morning I went on the glacis of the
citadel to witness the execution of the Capucin Ko-
narski and of M. Abicht. A great number of troops
were drawn up on the ground, and about 100 spec-
tators (all men) were present. The gates of the
citadel were thrown open, and a cart came out with
two persons in it dressed in white. One was a
young man about 20 years of age, with long light
hair and a German countenance; the other, about 40,
with a long beard, who could he seen was a priest.
The cart was placed near the scaffold, and the two
persons alighted. The young man was pale but firm,
and placed himself with a resolute step on the
scaffold. The rope was tied round his neck, and in
an instant after his body swung in the air. The
priest. afterwards ascended the fatal plank. Ho
looked proudly around him, and his lips appeared
to murmur a prayer—in a moment after he was
also launched into eternity. During the whole time
all the Catholic churches in Warsaw were tolling a
funeral knell."
Another letter of the 13th, in the Breslau Gazette,
says—" The impression produced by the late execu-
tions is immense. Some persons call to mind the
decree of amnesty of April 13, according to the
terms of which the prisoner Abicht could not have
been executed. But those terms are so vague and
equivocal that they could very well be made not to
apply to that unfortunate young man. Others do not
find any sufficient grounds for the condemnation of
the priest Konarski, who had done nothing more
than what any ecclesiastic in his place would have
done. Lastly, everyone asks himself why the two
students imprisoned with the Abbe Konarski have
been condemned to transportation to Siberia, when,
according to the avowal of the military tribunal
itself, they were only accused of having crossed
the frontier without a passport, an act which only
comes under the surveillance of the simple police."
