WHAT TO DO WITH SIX HUNDRED A YEAR.--I am
the victim of a noble discontent. lam am ambitious
man. Possessed of talents above the average, but rendered
infructuous through a certain difficulty of ascertaining in
what direction they lie, 1 find myself condemned to an in-
significance abhorrent to my soul. Were I rich, old fel-
low, all would be well. My abilities would at once com-
mand the respect they deserve. But here again I fail. I

or
have six hundred a year. Disgusting income ! Of all the
Pi:dthdlin
toss up with the blind goddess whether it should be six
thousand or nothing ! You're for ever dodging about the
tail of it, neither actually out of debt nor plunging honestly
into it. In embracing solitude, I resign all the dreams of
love and ambition. I owe nothing. My very tailor is
paid. Disarmed, stingless, ho melts into the common herd,
and is forgotten. My frame will be covered by two gowns
—my other needs by thirty pounds a year. The residue
of my property will accumulate, so as to form a fund which
after my decease, will be devoted to the outfit, biennially,
of six hermits, of disappointed views, but irreproachable
character. You will allpw me to name you as one of the
trustees."—Dickens's "All the Year Round."
BRUTAL CONDUCT TO A lIORSE.—At the Petty
sessions, Dunmow, yesterday, before Mr. J. M.
Wilson (chairman), Mr. E. Childs, Mr. J. W.Williams, and
the Rev. Mr. West, WM. Laundrum and Charles Willis
were charged by the secretary to the. Royal Society for tho
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with torturing a horse
on the 22d ult. Mr. Colam stated that on the said day the
s
defendants were engaged carting bricks near Felstead, and
in crossing a field the wheels of the cart got embedded in
Alonosneoyeaerathb,ya
thisnd theth horse was
re
defendants ulnfaahblteedtosdomraewsttrhaelmy
and
placed it under the belly of the horse, which though it
caused fearful injuries, failed to cause the poor animal to
move the load. Witnesses having deposed to the foregoing
facts, Mr. Young, veterinary surgeon, was called to prove
the extent of the injuries, and from his evidence it ap-
peared the wretched brute was covered with blisters over
the entire length of the belly, each of which measured the
size of a hen's egg, and the private parts were swollen to
five times their natural size. Mr. Colam having pressed for
heavy penalties, the chairman said there could be no excuse
for the brutality which had been proved. Even if the horse
had jibbed, as the defendants alleged, such horrible inhu-
manity could not be tolerated. Everyone knew that kind-
ness alone would cure jibbing. He should commit Laun-
drum, the elder defendant, to prison for three months' hard
labour, and Willis (the youth) for one month.
ELECTION EXPENSES.—The liberal expenses at the
late Liverpool election are published this (Tuesday) morn-
ing. Mr. Ewart lost his seat at a cost of £2,765 17s. 11d.
and Messrs. Horsfall and Graves (Conservatives) won theirs
at a cost of 43,237 3s. Gd. We have not yet been able to
obtain the liberal statement of South Lancashire, but the
Conservative spent about £B,OOO. At Birkenhead Mr. Laird
wou his seat with an expenditure of £1,274; and Mr. Jack-
son lost at a cost of £1,968.
SEIZURE OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF AMMUNITION.
—On Sunday the steamer Collins, Capt. Williamson, ar-
rived in the Mersey from St. Nazare. She was yesterday
seized by the Customs authorities because her manifest did
not include a large portion of her cargo. The search of the
officers resulted in the discovery of 120 tons of shot and
shell, of which there was no mention made in her papers.
She remains in the hands of the Customs authorities, who
await Government instructions.
