WAKEFIELD.

Sir John Hay, the sitting member, who has been
in the town for nearly a fortnight, has issued the
following address:—
"Attention to your business in Parliament obliges me
again to leave the town. But in the short time which I
have been able to devote to the duty of calling on my
friends I have had the most. satisfactory assurance of con-
tinued support. I have been happy to find a largo
number of those gentlemen whose names have recently
been added to the electors strongly imbued with those con-
stitutional principles which are the safeguard of the altar
and the throne. And though my limited time has not
permitted me to call on all those old and tried supporters
who returned me " so tr:umphantly in 1862, yet I have re-
ceived the most -cordial assurances that they continuo to
desire me to represent them in Parliament. In the course
of my canvass I have found a small section of the Liberal
party zealously endeavouring to obtain signatures to a
requisition to a candidate of their choice ; but I have in-
variably been received by these gentlemen with cour-
tesy, and I have been assured by many, even of my for-
mer opponents, that they would regret the prospect of
a contest which might embroil the peace of the town,
but could hardly alter the representation of the borough,
I shall take the earliest opportunity of returning to con-
tinue my visits to my friends and supporters. I trust
our cause to their vigilance in my absence, and I feel cer-
tain that their determined efforts will issue their triumph
and my election."

Shocking Fate of a Servant Girl near
Stourbridge.

--- -

On Tuesday evening the body of a servant girl was found
in the canal at Wollaston Bridge, near Stourbridge, under
circumstances which render it strongly presumable that she
fell-the victim of a murderer. The deceased's name was
Mary Dorrell, and she was 22 years of age. She had been a
servant at places in the neighbourhood, where she wall looked
upon as a quiet and inoffensive girl, and bore an excellent
character, one of her masters saying of her that if ever
there was an honest and good-hearted girl she was one. At
the time of the sad occurrence by which she lost her life she
was in service at Mr. Henry Hicklin's at Wollaston.
It appears that on Saturday night she asked permission
to go into Stourbridge for an hour, and she accordingly
started off at about 8 o'clock. She never returned. Her
absence on the Saturday night, and subsequently, led to
Mr. Hicklin's writing to her parents on Monday last to
ask if she had returned home. The girl's friends live at the
Wren's Nest, near Dudley, but they returned no answer to
the" inquiry contained in this letter. About six o'clock on
Tuesday evening a boat, belonging to the Stourbridge Iron-
works, was passing the Wollaston-bridge, in charge of two
men named Meese and Smith, when the motion of the water
caused a dead body to rise to the surface. The boatmen saw
the clothes in the water, and got the body out on the towing
path. It was that of the poor girl Dorrell. She was con-
veyed to Mr. Sutton's, the Fish Inn, and the news spread-
ing about caused great excitement in the neighbourhood.
In the pocket of her dress was a pair of silk gloves, which
she had purchased on Saturday night at Stourbridge, and
doubtless intended to wear on the Sunday. This fact alone
would tend to show she could not have any disposition to
I commit suicide ; but, in addition to this, a severe
bruise on the right eye suggested that she had been
wilfully pushed into the canal. On the removal of her
clothing another bruise, apparently from a kick, was found
on her hip, and her arms were scarred, though the latter
marks might be, and probably were, caused by the passing
of a boat. It appears to be the general impression that the
girl has been murdered. It is incredible that she could have
got into the canal on a summer's night accidentally, and no
one entertains the notion that she threw herself in. As
far as yet ascertained, no one was seen with the deceased
on Saturday night, and the occurrence is shrouded in mys-
tery. The police are making inquiries, and perhaps some
evidence will be forthcoming at the inquest which will, it
is expected, be held to-day (Thursday), tending to throw
a light on the matter. The police wrote to the girl's father
on Tuesday evening, stating the finding of the body, but
up to between five and six yesterday evening none of her
friends had been to the place.where the body lies.--Bir-
mingham Pod.

THE NEW OPERA COMPANY.—Yesterday, at tht
Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, an action, brouglw
in one of the inferior courts, was heard, in which £l5 was
sought to be recovered for two "calls," and 6s. ld. for 10"
terest thereon. Mr. G. Francis, who appeared for the plain-
tiff, said the company had been formed for the producti°7l
of operatic pieces, and Covent Garden Theatre had been
taken. The defendant, Mr. Tucker, was manager a
bank, and held five shares on which £5 had been paid. l's°)
calls for £1 and £2 had been made, which he failed to PO
and the directors were compelled to sue him. The secret
of the company, Mr. Cawood, proved that the defendant,
who lived at Peterborough-place, Bayswater, had take",
five shares. Mr. Tripp, for the defendant, submitted thin
there was no case to go to the jury, but the Cow% be a
otherwise ; and he then contended that the evidence WAR
not sufficient. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell thought there
was abundance of evidence, and the jury gave a verdict for
the amount claimed. The Court, on the question of costa'
reserved the decision as to a certificate.

MISS BURDETT COUTTS AND CHURCH EXIIS"
srox.—ln the year 1862 Dr. Waldegrave, Bishop of Car-
lisle, brought under the notice of Miss Burdett Coutts the
insufficiency of spiritual provision under which his diocese
laboured; but months elapsed, and no notice was taken of
his communication. In February, 1863, however, after
the bishop had come to regard himself as justly rebukedbJ
this silence for the liberty he had taken in craving bell)
from a lady who had no particular interest in the dioo,3oe'
Miss Burdett Coutts requested him to re-state his case, let
which she might now do something, thought it had Well
out of her power before. The bishop did so ; and the re'
suit was, that the new church of St. Stephen, Cal,ligicie:
built at the sole cost of Miss Burdett Coutts, was on vv,e
nesday last opened for service and consecrated by -1-/rci
Waldegrave. It is a Gothic building, in which the re,
and white stone of the district are used with good effeG"
and its cost will not be less than £6,000. It will annorel3l°7

means to force the butchers to lower their prices. Iv
