TIIE MURDER AT DALE-GATE.—Benjamin Ban'irs
the man who has been in prison at Brighton for the la: st
month, on suspicion of being concerned in the murcic le 'of
the late George Stonehouse Griffith, late a brews r at
Brighton, has undergone a fourth and final examina awl
before the Brighton magistrates. The prisoner, it is unfit •r•
stood, was taken into custody in consequence of a seat e;
men t made in Maidstone gaol by a poacher, that Banks b ea
boasted a knowledge of the circumstances connected * ith
the murder. All the examinations (even the last) ve, ere
conducted in private; but it is understood that Sts
from time to time set up and called persons to pri eve
different and contradictory alibis, and the -failures' to
establish either of these of course had .a tendewsi to
strengthen the suspicion of his guilty knowledge. To
these circumstances, we lylieve, the prisoner ow( id his
prolonged detention. The result of the final exa laina
tion was the prisoner's discharge; and the m) Merl
which overhangs the murder scorns, if possible, d eper
than ever, notwithstanding that the Brighton police, and
the East Sussex constabulary have been most dilig nt in
their investigations and inquiries.
BAPTISM of AN OAK TREE.—A letter • :front
Darmstadt of the 14th inst. states that the Arcl as Juke
John lately took part, with his son, in a wild boar hunt
on the domain of Krauichstein, belonging to the (x rand
Duke of Hesse Darmstadt. Near the house er the
ranger is one of the largest and oldest oaks is Gerr ititny;
its age is not less than 1,000 years, and its trunk rl5 36'
feet in circumference. The Grand Duke asked p,
sion to baptise the tree by the name of Johannes-.E Ow,
(John's oak). This was acceded to; the sacred tite of
baptism was performed with the greatest solemnity,, and,
if there be any truth in the doctrine of baptismal r ege-
neration, the exhausted powers of this fine tree mayTpos•
sibly be revived. The Archduke, on his side, be ptised
an adjacent oak by the name of Ludwig's-Eiche
oak). The religious ceremony was witnessed ovi th
terest by a large concourse of spectators.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-013 Saturday haat 0,
fatal accident occurred on the Manchester and Slit iffiela
line of railway. Shortly after twelve o'clock a 'train
consisting of seven luggage waggons stopped at G pi de
bridge station, on its way from Ashton to Manch( ;Ertel:
After waiting a few minutes the train was again pht is
motion, when the guard, a young man named Jackson.
aged nineteen years, perceived a box, which should .have
been left at the station, had not been removed fromt .one
of the carriages, and the signal was made for the itggi.
neer to stop. In the meantime Jackson was lifting' the
box off the carriage, and had nearly succeeded in lanai rig
it safe on the plattortn, when the engineer backed ithe
train, and the unfortunate man was thrown off his iiad
and fell under a wheel, which passed over him and '.cut
off his left arm and left leg. He was removed to She
Royal Infirmary at Manchester by the same train, wl• Ore
proper attention was paid to his injuries, but he died the
same night. An inquest was held on the body by gr.
Herford, coroner for the borough of Manchester, ae id a
verdict was returned to the effect that the occurre tiCe
was accidental.

DAttitic HIGHWAY 1101/113BRY.—On Tuesday ev, to;
ing, about six o'clock, as a young gentleman, nay
Conder, was returning from town to his residence' et
Brixton, he was attacked by three men in an unfrequei rte d
path leading from the vitro! manufactory, on Kenninil-
top-common, towards Camberwell.green. He was fitss
seivA round the throat by one of the villains, and the a
struck on the head with some heavy instrument; atti4r
which they robbed him of a silver double-bottomed watch,
maker's name J. Cot, Geneve, a gold brequet chain and
key, and rifled his pockets of their contents, which far'
tunately amounted to a few shillings only. The cowardly
ruffians then struck him again and made off. Thotigh
severely cut, it is hoped the injuries he sustained are not
of a serious nature. No clue has yet been obtained to
the perpetrators of this outrage. The night being dark,
and the wo,ault so sudden, Mr. Conder was unable to
distinguish his assailants or to call for help. The p,
in question is favourable for such an attack, and oui It
not to be travelled after nightfall.
