THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S CHURCH PATRONAGE.
—The Lord Chancellor has presented the Rev.
Matthew Wood, M.A., of St. Catherine's College, Cam
,bridge, to the united vicarages of All Saints' and St. Law-
rence, Evesham, rendered vacant by the resignation of the
Rev. Mr. Francis ; and the Rev. William Elliot Haddow,
M.A., of Christ's College, Cambridge, curate of Ebrington,
near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, to the vicarage
of that parish.
DANGEROUS LEAP FROM A TRAIN.—On Wednes-
day forenoon, a man who was travelling from Kir-
riomuir to Dundee leaped from a train on the Scottish
Northern Eastern line, and made a very narrow escape
with his life. When the train was at full speed between
Barry and Monifieth, one of the passengers looked out of
the carriage-door window. The wind blow off his hat,
and without seeming to realise the dangerous nature of the
act ho was to commit, he deliberately opened the door and
leaped out. So great Ras the velocity of the train that he
was thrown headlong to the ground, and the injuries he
sustained were very severe. On reaching Monifieth sta-
tion the guard of the train was informed of what had oc-
curred, and the train was run back in order that assistance
might be rendered to the foolhardy man. Ire was found
lying on the ground, his face covered with blood, but did
not seem to be so much injured as many anticipated. He
was assisted into the train and taken to Dundee, and re-
fused to allow himself to be convoyed to the infirmary.
THE BILSTON SAVINGS BANK DEFALCATIONS,—
At a meeting of the principal depositors on Saturday it
was resolved that it would be desirable to sell the debt due
from Mr. Fletcher to the trustees, to persons who would
form a friendly subscription among themselves, especially
if connected with the parish of St. Leonard's. The depo-
sitors have already received 13s. Gd. in the pound, and it
is hoped that they will ultimately receive 175., for it was
announced at the meeting that a private gentleman, who
has all along taken great interest in the depositors, will
add to the £3,000 purchase money a gift from his private
purse of £1,500.

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—Mr.
Stewart, the secretary, has issued a circular, in which he
says :—" With a view of making the public aware, at the
earliest period practicable, of the dividend likely to bo de-
clared by this company at the ensuing general meeting, I
am authorised to state that the accounts, though not yet
finally audited, or approved by the hoard of directors, indi-
cate a dividend, for the past half-year, at the rate of six
per cont. per annum."
THE MURDER OF LIEUTENANT CLUTTERBUCK.---
At the King's County assizes, on Friday, before the Lord
Chief Justice, Laurence King was indicted for the wilful
murder of Lieutenant Clutterbuck, of the sth Fusiliers, on
the Bth of July last. The trial has not yet concluded.
ST. JAMES'S HALL.—" The World of Magic,"
at the St. James's Hall, continues to attract large audi-
ences. Mr. Maccabe has quite established himself as a
universal favourite. Professor and the Misses Anderson
have introduced several novelties. The first morning per-
formance on Saturday was a decided success.
