THE TYNE.—In 1651 the number of vessels which
arrived in the Tyne from foreign ports, together with
foreign vessels coastwise, was 2,846. In 1861 the number
of those vessels entering the river had increased to 7,262,
showing an increase of arrivals within the period mentioned
of 4,416 vessels.
It is said the Sumter, which was announced
yesterday as having put into Cadiz after having destroyed
three Fedei al merchant ships, is not a privateer, but a
regularly commissioned ship of war of the Confederate or
" rebel " States.

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF ENGLAND AND THE
QUIIEN.—We understand that, in accordance with the sug-
gestion recently thrown out by the Cardinal Archbishop, a
meeting of the clergy of the diocese of Westminster was
held on Tuesday, for the purpose of presenting an address
of condolence to her Majesty on her sad bereavement.—
Weekly _Register.
It appears from the Washington advises that the
proposal of Mr. Chase, the Secretary, for a further increase
of the duties on tea, coffee, sugar, and molasses has been
adopted by Congress. Tea will now pay 10d. per lb. ;
coffee, 23/4d.; sugar, ltd. to 4d., according to quality ; and
molasses, 4d. per gallon.

Messrs. Baring have notified that they are in
receipt of the £lOO bonds of Buenos Ayres, to be delivered
to those holders who have applied to exchange bonds of a
larger denomination for an equivalent amount in lesser
ones. Facilities will now exist for small investors. Hitherto
the lowest bonds were for £6OO.

STRANGE MURDER.—A physician of Houdelain-
court (Meuse) has just been murdered by one of his patients
under the following circumstances :—A labouring man
named Vincent, 38 years of age, had been successfully at-
tended by two medical men named Guyot and Honin, both
of whom prescribed copious bleeding. As Vincent found no
relief from their mode of treatment, he went to a third doc-
tor, who told him that his complaint arose solely from want
of blood. On hearing this, he was so incensed against Drs.
Guyot and Ilonin that he resolved to be revenged on them.
Accordingly, having heard that the former was at a neigh-
bouring village, he waylaid him on his return, and killed
him by repeated blows on the head with a hoe. Being ar-
rested shortly afterwards, he confessed his crime without
the least hesitation, and seemed to think himself fully jus-
tified in thus taking blood for blood.—Galignani.

CENSUS OF ROME.—The census of the present
population of Rome shows an increase of 10,500 inhabitants

, Cation of 20,000 in less than 10 years. There are
is Rome nearly 40,000 families ; 40 bishops ; 1,385
