RESTORATION OF ELY CATHEDRAL.—It gives us
much pleasure to report progress on the subject of tl-e
dt.cor.ttive restorations which are rapidly transforming
into a" thing ot beauty" the magnificent edifice which
constitutes the chief glory of our inland isle. The fol-
-I.)wieg facts will be highly sa,isfactory to our readers :--•
he glass for the bishop's lessees' window is now in the
north iriforium, and will be fixed in the eighth transept as
soon as the repairs are completed. The incumbents of
livings in the patronage and diocese of the Bishop of Ely
have opened a subscription for a window in the south
transept; and the incumbents of livings in his Lordship's
patren,,ge, but, not in. the diocese, have undertaken the
fourth Norman window. The glass for both is or-
dered of M. Gerente, so that all the Norman
windows in the eighth transept will be his work. The
funds are not yet sufficient to pay tor the glass,.but it is
to be hoped that those gentlemen who have not yet ex'
pressed their intention ot subscribing will come forward.
Mr. Warrington, the artist, has promised a window in
the south aisle. The Rev. Chancellor Sparke has also
premised a window, and there are subscriptions for
visitors' window and an ordination window. There
are also reports of other subscriptions. The gentleman
to whom we are indebted for communicating these
facts says that if a few energetic friends would form
committee, and undertake the work, another large lan-
tern window might be filled by the Masters of Arts. A.
very small sum—not more than 11., or even 10s.—would
be quite sufficient to .procure lauds for the purpose.
There would than be only one window left, which might
be filled by the noblemen or doctors ; and
then this splendid part of the magnificent
catiledral would be complete. We have only to add
that the Dean of Ely's and Mr. Cooke's windows for the
south-west transept are being prepared by Mr. Wailes,
to whom the cathedral is indebted for the glass in the
south aisle, containing the history of St. Bede. Mr.
Wailes has been again to the • Continent, expressly for
the purpose of examining the glass of the 13th century.
We hope that a mere hint is sufficient to provoke toe
laudable co-operation, and even to create considerable
rivalry and emulation in contributing to this work.--
Cambridge and Ely Advertiser.
[ADVERTISEMENT.)—A Bruised Foot Cured, and
Amputation of the Toes prevented by Holloway's oint-
ment and Pills.—Mr. Oliver Smith Jenkins, of Falkirk.
when superintending the erection of a railway bridge
had his toot severely bruised by the falling of a heavy
stone. Apprehending that serious consequences would
result from it, he consulted some of the most eminent
surgeons in Edinburgh, who informed him that to effect
a cure two of his toes must be amputated ' • refusing to
submit to this he returned to Falkirk, and commenced
using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and, miraculous
as it may appear, these invaluable medicines healed his
foot, and in three weeks he was enabled to resume his
employment.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

A RECKLESS DRUNKARD.—A man named Alex'
ander Anderson was brought up at the Borough Court
on Saturday, on the charge of not maintaining his child.
It appeared that he was a plasterer, and able to gig
work. A few weeks since his wife lay dangerously►
and instead of attending to her wants, he went hone
night after night in a beastly state of intoxication. Oil
two or three occasions he drank all the brandy which
the hospital doctor had sent for his wife, while she was
in a dying state. She died shortly afterwards; but this
made no impression upon him, and be even went so ter
as to abuse his brother for attending to the poor woman
and her infant. At her death the child was thrown upon
the charity of the neighbours, the inhuman father not
caring in the least h,r it, but continuing in a state
constant intoxication as before. The neighbours di"
much for the infant; but on Wednesday last it died, in
atl probability through want of care and nourishment,
anti the relieving officer of the district had to bury it.
'I charge against the prisoner was, therefore, for re:
fusing to maintain the child a bile living, and to bury 1t
when dead. Anderson begged of the magistrates to lel
him go and he would amend his conduct, and repay the
16s. which the officer had advanced on behslf of his
child. He was summarily convicled to hard labour for
one mouth.—Manchester Guardian.

THE WEATtna.—The severe frost which corn'
menctli at the beginning of last week relented on Sun'
day evening. On Friday morning the surface of tbi9
portion of the island was covered with snow, which con•
tinned to fall occasionally till Saturday evening. 00
Sunday it was two inches in depth. Monday brought a
thaw, and a heavy and continuous rain, which rapialy
melted the snow; and yesterday the earth, emerging
from its temporary covering, and illuminated by a bril-
liant sun, had quite a vernal appearance. The breeze
was so fresh that we looked for snowdrops and crocuses
among the grass; but we fear that there is yet a winter
to intervene before spring appears.—Cambridge Adv.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER A GAMEKEEPER..— 00
Thursday night last the under gamekeeper of Mr. Lister,
of Broseley, named Archelmus Dodd, went out to watch,
in the preserves at Benthall, &c., near Broseley, sad
shortly after he had gone he perceived he was dodged 11.
three men, wbo, no doubt, if an opportunity had occurreq
would have murdered him in a very large wood cane('
Beuthall Edge, but it is supposed that no such opportu'
nity presented itself for carrying their design into effect:
Some t.me afterwards the men were observed to par"
and as Dodd was returning home about two o'clock ,
the morning, near a plantation On the confines of Bent'
hall parish, he was deliberately shot at from over a
low wall, by one of the three men, it is supposed, wir,
had d him. The ruffian was within a few yard
of Dodd, and the shots entered the front part of 11';
hat, about two inches below the crown, and passed 00'
at the back of the same, fortunately without doing the
keeper any injury. Dodd stumbled, but speedily re"
covered himself, and saw the man running away. 111, 0'
Lister has offered a reward of 50/ for the apprehtil3s'°.
of the man, and a search warrant Laving been issue!;:
we hope to hear of his speedy capture.— .Eddowe

Business appears to be on the increase in tbet
French seaports. On Friday last business to the emu°
of 2,000,0001. was done at Havre, principally in cotton
and sugar.—Galignani.
