The Germanic Diet, on the 4th inst., held its first
sitting in the present year. It was occupied only with
communications of trivial interest.

TERRIBLE FIRE IN LEEDS.—Last night the
Whitehall-road Works were reduced to a shell. The pre-
mises, four storeys in height and 23 windows in length,
occupied three sides of a quadrangle, and they were vari-
ously occupied by Messrs. Gallon and Bean, ironmongers,
Mr. Roberts, and a woollen manufacturer. The fire is sup-
posed to have originated in the woollen department at the
south corner, and the roof of the two principal buildings
fell in before 11 o'clock. The amount of damage is not as-
certained, but we believe that the premises were only yeo-
terday completely insured in a northern office. Thousands
of people lined the banks of the Midland and the Northern
railways, between which lines the premises are situated.
THE MURDER NEAR CARLISLE.—Wm. Charlton,
engine driver on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway,
charged with the wilful murder of Jane Emmerson, the old
woman who kept the Durran-hill crossing on the Newcastle
and Carlisle Railway, near Carlisle, was brought before the
magistrates on Wednesday for final examination, and fully
committed to take his trial at the ensuing assizes on the
charge.
STRANGE CASE.—Newspaper readers will re-
member, says the IVestern Morning News, a case which
was tried in London some few months ago, in which Mr.
Warde, a magistrate of Warwickshire, and a Miss Hooper,
who had lived with Mr. Warde, were the parties concerned,
and in which the revelations were of a particularly disgust-
ing character. Subsequently Miss Hooper found herself
under the protection of a Mr. Lloyd Williams, who resides
at Hucclecote, near Gloucester, and who tried to effect a
reconciliation between Mr. Warde and the lady, but was
kicked out of the house for his pains, for which he brought
an action, about a month ago, against Mr. Wards, which
was also tried in London, but by which the plaintiff took
little or nothing. It appears that a few days ago an execu-
tion was put into Williams' house, and the bailiff in pos-
session was a married man named Jones. Being unable
to live comfortably in a house in which there was an exe-
cution, Miss Hooper came into Gloucester to live : by some
means Mrs. Jones suspected that her husband was un-
faithful to her, and had yielded to the charms of Miss
Hooper. She therefore called upon Miss Hooper, and
having ascertained she was the real " Simon Pure," gave
her some hard blows in the face. This occurred one night
last week; abcut midnight the same night Mrs. Jones
found her husband in company with Miss Hooper at an
hotel. A scene took place, the parties had to leave the
hotel, and when in the street Mrs. Jones again attacked
Miss Hooper, knocked her down, trampled upon her, and
pulled her hair. Subsequently Williams, who had quar-
relled with Miss Hooper, called to see her at her lodgings,
found Jones there, and he threatened to do for Williams.
On Monday Jones was examined to show cause why he
should not be bound to keep the peace towards Williams,
and Mrs. Jones was summoned for assaulting Miss Hooper.
The case occupied an hour and a half ; the details were ra-
ther high-flavoured, and appeared to be much relished by a
full court • ultimately the case against Mrs. Jones was
stopped, the magistrates dismissing it, and the husband was
bound over in £lO to keep the peace towards Williams for
three months.
THE VICAR OF WALLSEND AND THE BURIAL OF
THE DEAD.—The following curious notice is affixed on the
church doors at Wallsend :—The vicar of the parish ear-
nestly requests that those parties who have their dead to
bury may henceforth arrange that the funeral may take
place on any day except on Sunday. The public services of
the church are a sufficient strain upon his strength without
having to inter the dead on that day. It will oblige if
parties fixing the day for the funeral would avoid Sunday
if possible,
It appears from the Pungolo of Milan that the
rumour of Garibaldi's intention of being present at the
inauguration of the national rifle match at Turin was
erroneous, he having now respectfully declined accepting
Prince Humbert's invitation to that solemnity.
A great rise has taken place in saltpetre, from
the expectation that the prohibition against export may
possibly be withdrawn. The supplies in foreign markets
are generally, at present, very scanty, and prices are much
higher than in this country. Other descriptions of colonial
produce have also improved.
