INSTITUTION FOR TRAINING FEMALE SER-
VANTS.--The sixth anniversary of this Society was hold
on Thursday last, at the house, Windmill-hills, and was
numerously and respectably attended ; the Rev. J. Collin-
son, Rector of Gateshead, in the Chair. The report and
statement of the accounts were read, and were very satis-
factory to the subscribers. The object of this Institution
is to provide a more efficient class of domestic servants, by
early initiating young girls in the best mode of performing
the various labours required in a household. The in-
efficiency of servants, so much complained of, may be ge-
nerally traced to the neglect of this early discipline, and
this Institution, therefore, is calculated to be of great
utility. The girls are also trained to habits of order and
industry, and subjected to religious and moral discipline.
The Institution has now been in operation for six years,
during which time between thirty and forty girls have been
placed in respectable situations, most of whom are doing
well, and giving satisfaction to their employers, who have
borne their testimony to the good effected.—Gateshead
Observer.

An action was brought in the Sheriff's Court
yesterday against the Duke of Brunswick by Mrs. Calvert,
ivory-turner and brush maker, Fleet-street, for the re.
cover), of 41. 165., the price of a brush with costly chased
silver gilt back, and an ivory handle for a shaving-brush.
The Duke paid into Court 2/. his. Several witnesses for
the prosecution deposed to the fairness of the demand, and
one witness for the defence stated that he should be well
satisfied with 30s. for the work done and materials sup.
plied by the plaintiff, and another deposed that 255. would
be a fair charge. The Jury found for the plaintiff for the
full amount claimed.

CANTERBURY ELECTION.—Lord Loftus, son
of the Marquis of Ely, will, we understand, offer himself
at the next election for Canterbury, in opposition to Mr.
Bradshaw.—Dover Chronicle.

ROBBERY AT THE POST-OFFICE.—A robbery,
supposed to have been perpetrated between eight and nine
o'clock on Wednesday evening last, was committed at the
Post-office in this city (Cork), by the extracting of about
701. from one of the office drawers. The money consisted
of over 201. in silver, some bank-notes, and a few sove-
reigns, and in the drawer were several Post-office money
orders, drawn upon the department here, which were left,
as well several other money cheques. The matter has
undergone close investigation, but without any trace of the
robber or robbers being discovered. There is no doubt, it
would seem, that the party must have been well acquainted
with tho internal part of the office. A person who had
held a subordinate place in the establishment a few days,
left here on Thursday for his residence in the North of
Ireland, and it has been deemed proper to despatch con-
stable Moylan, of the city police, and one of the letter-
carriers, in quest of him.—Souihern Reporter.

Inn, Box, Wiltshire, on Friday, the sth instant, to inves-
tigate the state of mind of Major-General Sir James Wil-
son, K. C. B„ a supposed lunatic. It appeared, from the
clearest evidence of the medical attendants and others,
that Sir James Wilson had been of unsound mind from the
3d day of March, t6:3, to the present time; that he had
not during the above period nag; ;;.ny lucid interval ; that
he was incapable of taking care of his peison or estate;
