able to keep the mob at bay. But scarcely did the
clatter of the cavalry, coining down full speed,
become audible, when a general panic seized the
multitude, who fled in all directions, but too late,
for about 40 of them were arrested at once, and 12
more during the night. Fortunately, no blood
was spilt, thanks to the coolness of the carabineers,
who, though assailed with stones and missiles of all
kinds, did not make use of their firearms.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE ELROTION.—Lord Paget, the
candidate for South Staffordshire, in the course of his
canvass, which he is pursuing with great vigour, visited
Birmingham yesterday. His visit is not of a public
nature, but merely to the electors resident in that town,
by whom ho was most courteously received. His lord-
ship was met by Mr. Bolton, of Wolverhampton, and
Mr. W. J. Beale, of Birmingham, solicitors, and by
Mr. R. Serle, of Stourbridge. His reception is extremely
gratifying, and little doubt is entertained by his friends
but that his return for South Staffordshire will be roost
triumphant. The great strength of Lord Paget lies
in the increase of the constituency since the last contest
for South Staffordshire. Lord Ingestre, his opponent,
has not yet arrived from North America, but is daily
expected. Both parties are providing the sinews of
war (for it is understood that neither candidate will be
subjected to the payment of expenses), and a sharp g
not a oleo contest may bo mated.

RELIEF FROST. INCOME TAX.

THE Board of Management of the PROVI-
DENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION call the attention of the
public to the 54th section of this Act, which allows an abatement
of the Tax in respect of Premiums on Life Assurance, and in addi-
tion thereto this Association offers the following important advan-
tages :
All Policies may be made absolutely payable to the WIDOW,
WIDOWER, or CHILDREN of the A ssured, by which the Expense
Of LEGACY and PROBATE DUTY is SAVED, and the Assurance under
any circumstances SECURED to the person or persons for whom it was
effected.
The COST Of POLICY STAMPS IS PAID by the ASSOCIATION, SO that
the Premium is the only charge to which Assurers are subjected.
NINE-TENTHS of the PROFITS are divided every five years amongst
the Assured of three years' standing, and the Association has already
appropriated upwards of 15,0001. in Reversionary Bonuses. •
Leans are granted to the full extent of the value of the Policy.
All Policies are indisputable, except in cases of absolute fraud.
Clerks Assuring with this Association have the option of being
NI-embers of the Benevolent Fund, from which they may, in case of
need, derive very great advantages.

By order of the Board.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

DUNDEE AND ARBROATH.
Tho half-yearly ineetin,g of this company was held at
Dundee on Wednesday, Mr. G. A.nnistead, ehairmau of
directors, in the chair.
The report stated, that the balance from the last half-
year amounted to 9091,, and the gross revenue for the
half-year to 15,1561.,
makin to g ether 16,0651. The
working and other expenses amounted to 8,4371., leaving
g
7,6281. From this sum was deducted 9281. towards re-
laying the line, and 1,6671. for interest on 5 per cent.
guaranteed stock, leaving a net surplus of 5,0331. Out
of the sum the directors recommended a dividend at
the rate of 3i per cent. per annum (or 1i per cent, for
the half-year) ending the 31st of October last, on the
251. shares, which will amount to 3,4001., and leave a
balance of undivided profits of 1,5331. to be carried to
the credit of next half-year. The increase of revenue
for the half-year over the corresponding period of last
year amounted to 9711., and the increase of working
expenses during the same period to 6571. Certain mis-
understandings regarding traffic arrangements had
existed between them and some neighbouring lines,
which for, the time produced considerable inconve-
nience, but the directors are happy to state that these
differences are now adjusted, and amicable relations
established in a manner which is satisfactory to them,
and which they have no doubt will be advantageous to
the company. The station at Arbroath for the accom-
modation of passengers, has been completed, and con-
siderable progress has been made in that part of the
works designed for the accommodation of goods.
Resolutions were passed approving the dividends re-
commended in the report, and a vote of thanks to the
chairman concluded the proceedings.

that I may yet 'fret my my hour' upon a Me/bourne

not first-rate. If I try my powers I shall be able to

You have heard, I dare say, of the late attack upon the
gold escort on their way from the diggings. It was a
desperate affair. Crime is on the decrease in the colony ;
but the settlers have been much alarmed by the news
that thqcouVicts from Norfolk Island are to be sent to
-Van 13IeMen's Land, in which, case many of them, who
are the vilest wretches upon earth, will, beyond all doubt,
'escape to this colony, and thus add to our number of
vagabonds, of whom we have enough and to spare.
" I do not, however, think the country so bad as it is
represented to be. Much exaggeration has been abroad
with regard to' the state of society. Life and property
are in little or no danger here. William and myself fre-
quently ride from Melbourne out here long after dark,
and never think of carrying arms. A. great number of
lies are circulated at home about the colony. Many of
the extracts from private letters' are all bosh.'

"I find my sheet is drawing to a close, and a young
opossum, a great pet of mine, is crawling about my back,
biting my hair and ears, and preventing my writing with
comfort. I will, therefore, my dear Dick, only earnestly
ask of you to give me a line as often as you possibly can,
as I assure you nettling will give me greater pleasure
than to know you are well and happy. Shake hands

THE HORSE GUARDS.

The Cabinet is not the only chamber in which
there is discord, perplexity, and disunion. We
hear in every quarter, at all the clubs, military and
civil, that at the Horse Guards there is nothing
but confusion—other resignations are talked of--
in fact, such is the state of things there, that no-
thing but a change of the head of the department
can restore order and place matters on a proper
footing. We hear that business is not transacted,
indecision and delay are so prevalent that at this
momentous crisis the department appears struck
with paralysis. We hear a variety of reasons for
this untoward difficulty. We need not say how
deeply we regret that such things should be. We
hear why a certain most distinguished officer was
passed over to fill his lamented master's vacancy.
We hear why the adjutant-general resigned. But
what giv&s us sincere pleasure to hear is, that the
subscription for presenting a testimonial to Lord
Raglan is progressing most satisfactorily, one that
will be alike honourable to the donors and to the
gallant and beloved general.—Morning Herald.

THE HORSE GUARDS.

The Cabinet is not the only chamber in which
there is discord, perplexity, and disunion. We
hear in every quarter, at all the clubs, military and
civil, that at the Horse Guards there is nothing
but confusion—otheritesig,nations are talked of—
in fact, such is the state of things there, that no-
thing but a change of the head of the department
can restore order and place matters on a proper
footing. We hear that business is not transacted,
indecision and delay are so prevalent that at this
momentous crisis the department appears struck
with paralysis. We hear a variety of reasons for
this untoward difficulty. We need not say how
deeply we regret that such things should be. We
hear why a certain most distinguished officer was
passed over to fill his lamented mnter's vacancy.
We hear why the adjutant-general resigned. But
what gives us sincere pleasure to hear is, that the
subscription for presenting a testimonial to Lord
Raglan is progressing most satisfactorily, one that
will be alike honourable to the donors and to the
gallant and beloved general.—Morning Herald.

SUICIDE PROM A WlNDOW.—Yesterday an inquest
was held by Mr. Langham, in the board-room of Charing-
cross Hospital, on Wm. Hartley, aged 44, a fish sales-
man, residing in Phcenix-street, Soho, who precipitated
himself from a window. It appeared that the deceased
believed that he was entitled to some property which
was to be mortgaged, and he was frequently in a state
of great excitement from fancying that he was deprived
of its possession. On Saturday night, the 10th inst., he
was in the kitchen of the house where he resided, when he
was under the impression that he had seen a ghost the
previous day, and asked fora cleaver, with which he
said he intended to cut it to pieces should it come.. He
then observed that the room was on fire, and that he
saw the smoke coming through thegloor. A female with
whom he lived endeavoured to persuade him to the con-
trary, but he became so outrageous that she left him and
remained in the area all eight. The next forenoon he
suddenly rushed out of the house exclaiming " Murder
and thieves."
He proceeded up Crown-street, and en-
tered the house No. 21. He passed by a female, the
occupier of the shop, ran up the stairs, and forced open
the door of the second floor, into which he went, flinging
down a lad in the room. He then went to the window,
from which he dropped into the street. He was taken
up and conveyed to the Charing-cross Hospital, where
he was found to have hurt his scalp and had received
other injuries, which terminated in inflammation of the
lungs, and led to his death on Christmas day.—Verdict,
"Temporary insanity."

RELIEF FROA INCOME TAX.

THE Board of Management of the PROVI-
DENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION call the attention of the
public to the 54th section of this Act, which allows an abatement
of the Tax in respect of Premiums on Life Assurance, and in addi-
tion thereto this Association offers the following important advan-
tages :
All Policies may be made absolutely payable to the WIDOW,
WIDOWER, or CHILDREN of the Assured, by which the Expense
of LEGACY and PROBATE DUTY is SAVED, and the Assurance under
any circumstances SECURED to the person or persons for whom it was
effected.
The COST Of POLICY STAMPS Is PAID by the ASSOCIATION, SO that
the Premium is the only charge to which Assurers are subjected.
NINE-TENTHS of the PROFITS are divided every five years amongst
the Assured of three years' standing, and the Association has already
appropriated upwards of 15,0001. in Reversionary Bonuses.
Leans are granted to the full extent of the value of the Policy.

All Policies are indisputable, except in cases of absolute fraud.
Clerks Assuring with this Association have the option of being
Members of the Benevolent Fund, from which they may, in case of
need, derive very great advantages. '

Private letters from Genoa state that a trial has
taken place in that city similar to that of the
Madiais in Tuscany. The name of the 3 accused is
Daniel Mazzinghi, 25 years of age, and-a surgeon by
profession. The trial took place with 'closed' doors,
but it is said that he was charged with having, in
company with Captain Packenham, of the British
navy, preached against the religion of the State and
in praise of Protestantism. He was sentenced to
imprisonment for three years, by virtue of the
164th Article of the Penal Code.
