THE AMERICAN FLAG RE-QUARTERED.—Whether
the South be recognised or not, as a consequence of the
war, it is clear that the negro will. When the stars shine
again, the stripes will have disappeared.—Punch.
THE RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATH.--A
shoemaker breathing his last.
A TUNNEL, which will be more than a mile long,
intended to carry the Midland Railway under Hampstead,
has been begun.
Mn. TROLLOPE'S " ORLEY FARM" has been trans-
lated into German by C. Marggraff, and published at

for its continental traffic between Harwich and Rotterdam.
About 1,000 sacks of flour have been recovered from the
screw steamer Star Queen, sunk off Winterton a day or
two binco. The smack- Saucy LasS; of Great Yarmouth,
has been brought into thatport derelict. She was abandoned
by her crew after grounding on a sand outside; crew saved.
During the past five weeks upwards of forty shipwrecked
sailors have been received at the Great Yarmouth Sailors
Home.

PUBLICHOUSES AND REFRESHMENT ROOMS.—At
Liverpool on Friday a licensed victualler was summoned
for allowing drink to be sold in his house between one and
four o'clock in the morning, and the case was discharged
on the ground "that if the house was closed it was neces-
sary to prove the actual sale of liquor after one o'clock."
In the instance of a refreshment room, it appears, it is only
necessary to prove drinking during illegal hours.
A MAN BURIED ALIVE AT Bow.--On Saturday
information was forwarded to Mr. Humphrey,
Middlesex coroner, of a shocking accident which befel a
man named William Brown, aged 37 years. It appears the
decased was an excavator, and while employed in the con-
struction of a sewer in Bow, the sides of the excavation,
not being sufficiently supported by retaining planks, gave
way. The deceased was buried under a mass of earth,
and though labourers at once set to work to extricate him,
they were unable to get him out alive. Dr. M. Davey
was sent for, but all attempts at resuscitation proved
unavailing.

DEATH FROM CHOKING.—On Friday an inquest
was held in Kingsland-road, on the body of Ben-
jamin Wells, aged 73. Deceased was eating some beef on
Wednesday in Hewitt's eating-house, when a piece, weigh-
ing nearly two ounces, stuck in his throat, and caused im-
mediate death. The jury returned a verdict of accidental
death.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH BY MACHINERY.—On Friday
an inquest was held in High-street, Bow, on the
body of William Woollard, aged 45 years, a labourer, in
the service of Messrs. Farnan and Sons, dyers, of Old
Ford-road, Bow. On Monday afternoon deceased's clothes
became entangled in a revolving perpendicular shaft, and
before the accident was discovered he was almost knocked
to pieces, and quite dead. A verdict of accidental death
was recorded.

PUBLIC RIGHTS TO SHOOTING.—A quarter sessions
of justices of peace of Forfarshire was held in the
Sheriff Court-room, Forfar, on Tuesday, Sir Geo. Ramsay,
Bart., of Bank., presiding. The only business was the dis-
Nal
' posing of an appeal of Thomas Nicholl, ropemaker, Mon-
trose, against ai n
trespasssta la toen decision
0ct.22 of the justices,
last,
upon h findings aof Dunio
a part thereof known as the lands of Sands, and fining him
55., with £1 Ils. 6d. of expenses. Mr. Burnes, write;
Montroso, appeared for the appellant, and stated the grounds
of appeal, the principal of which was that the case should
not have been brought up before the justices until a similar
case pending in the Forfar Sheriff court had been decided
In that case the proprietor of Dun had produced the sam
iufeftment as was produced to the justices, and the same
decreet of declarator ; but the sheriff had declined to find
the man guilty of trespass until the proprietor of Dun had
proved his right to the lands of Sands. The proprietor
true enough, had produced his title ; but the Court of
Session had required that, when a party claims a right or-
dinarily possessed by the public he must show not only a
title, but that he had had continuous and uninterrupted
possession of the propert. The lands of Sands were a fore-
shore, and that ordinarily belonged to the public; so that
to claim them the proprietors of Dun must show title and
possession. The proprietor had produced title, but could not
show the possession, as the people of Montrose had shot on
the lands of Sands, according to the evidence, for 20 years ;
and the sheriff had therefore said that, before he could de-
cide that the man was trespassing so that he could interdict

that.hint, he

tshtaenscheesrtiffho decision.,s
far, for the' prosecutor, said that he had nothing to do with
the case in the Sheriff Court, as it was against another party
altogether, and the Justices went under an Act by which
the prosecutor alleged there was a trespass, and it lay
with the defender to show there was no tres-
pass. The evidence showed that the man was
on the lands of Sands, and he held the property was
his, so that the defender ought to show it was not. He re-
ferred to documents produced to show the right of the pro-
prietor of Dun to the lands of Sands, and concluded by
asking a confirmation of the decision of the justices. Mr.
Burnes said his reply was that no Court should decide in a

ease where another case with the same principle was pent',

ag in a similar Court. The justices held that the rights

?rodueed by the proprietor of Dun to the lands of Sands

wore sufficient ; and, setting aside the plea that they should
wait the decision of the sheriff, dismissed the appeal, find-
ing the appellant liable in modified expenses of ..£2 2s. Jas.
Powrie, Esq., of Reswalli, one of the five presiding justices,

expressed an opinion that the justices should have waited
the decision of the sheriff regarding the rights of the pro-

prietor of Dun to the lands of Sands.—Scasnuzn

Llt is understood that the arbitration so long pend-

.ng between the Humber Iron Works and Ship-

building Company and the vendors, Messrs. Samuel-
son and Moss, was brought to a close on Friday
last ; Mr. Hawkshaw's award may therefore now

be looked for immediately.

Previousl to PSICOW, March 6.
y joining the Assembly, opened in
this city yesterday, the nobles of the district have
held preliminary meetings to discuss their plan of
action, in face of the Imperial rescript replying to
the address of the Moscow nobles. The great majo-
rity have pronounced in favour of a motion of con-
fidence in the Emperor, while declaring that the
political rights sanctioned by the charter to the
nobility, issued by Catherine 11., do not belong to
the nobility alone, but are the precious appanitge of
the entire nation. It has been resolved, that as the
recent rescript of the Emperor forbids the nobility to
speak in the name of the other classes, and of
general interests, basing this prohibition upon
a literal interpretation of the laws relating to the
nobility, the Pskow nobles consider it essential to
abstain from using similar terms to the Moscow
address. The Pskow address will " only speak to
a central assembly, composed of representatives
chosen from all the provincial assemblies according
to the plan proposed by M. Bezobrasoff, chamber-
lain to the Emperor. This plan is made strictly in
conformity with the existing laws, and it will be
impossible for the Government to adopt legal mea-
sures for its prosecution. The Government upon
its part has appointed a special committee of func-
tionaries from the Ministry of the Interior, charged
with revising the laws upon the assemblies of nobles
within the shortest possible period. The labours of
this committee will be laid before the Council of
the Empire, so as to have the force of law.
