[CENTRAL PREMS TELEGRAM.]

Intelligence has been received at Yarmouth of the
loss of the following vessels and crews belonging to that
port, during the gale of Friday :—The Peace, brig, belong-
ing to Mr. H. H. Barber, was hst off
Shields ; the crew were saved. The brigantine
Caroline Garson, Blake owner, was lost on Branstrus
Beach, and three hands perished, but the master and
mate were saved. The brigantine, Terminus, Edmund,
master and owner, was lost, with all hands. The broad-
side of a three-masted ship has been washed ashore at
Yarmouth, supposed to belong to the vessel lost with all
hands on Friday night, on the Scroby. The coast is strewn
with masses of wreck, seamen's clothing, &c., and there is
no doubt that many other casaulties have occurred.

About 120 gas lights in the streets of Hull were
out during Friday night in consequence of the water in
the pipes being frozen.

PARAGUAY.—New York papers publish a despatch
of the 12th of December from Asuncion, stating that the
general election passed off quietly, and resulted in
the choice of C. A. Rivaroli for President, and Cuyo Mil-
tos for Vice-President. The Cabinet appointed consists
of the following persons :—Miguel Palacio, Foreign Affairs
and State; Rufino Fahoada, Interior; J. B. Gil, Treasury;
Salvador Jovellano, War and Navy ; Jose M. Collar,
Public Instruction and Worship. A new Constitution
has been adopted, and the several officers of the State
have sworn fealty to it. It provides for freedom of
worship, the encouragement of immigration and the pro-
tection of immigrants, and for the summary punishment
of any one who may attempt in the future to make him-
self dictator. The plenipotentiaries appointed by the
allies are ready to bring to a close the long-pending nego-
tiations in relation to a treaty of peace and the boundaries
of the country. The only circumstance which calls forth
comment in connexion with the presence and deliberations
of the plenipotentiaries is the extraordinary display which
Brazil makes in Paraguayan waters of her naval power. It
would seem that every war-ship that floats the Brazilian
flag is stationed between Montivideo and Asuncion.
Public 4.ffairs are fast improving, and, should matters
continue as satisfactory as at present, the rapid develop-
ment of the resources of the country will cause the people
to forget in their success the calamities of the past.
Cholera and typhus fever have become epidemics in
Asuncion; it is said there are about twenty-five cases daily.
It is difficult to obtain the exact number, as the friends
of victims are unwilling to report their sickness, to avoid
what are termed the inconveniences of the sanitary
regulations.

STATE OF FEELING IN ROME.—A correspondent
in Rome, writing on February 6th, gives a most dis-
couraging account of the situation. The Italian occupa-
tion of Rome has created a perilous position for the House
of Savoy both in Italy and Spain, and the struggles of
the opposition are very much underrated by the English
press, whose writers, living almost exclusively with the
clique of " consarti " in Rome, are little aware
of what is going on at the Vatican, and
its adherents in foreign countries, or the increas-
ing spread of the Pontifical movement. They ignore
equally on the other hand the struggles of the Republican
party in Italy and its hatred of the monarchy. Between
the Church and the sect, Italian unity is in dire peril.
Should the Republican party gain the upper
hand in France, a revolutionary outbreak is feared
in Italy. The Catholics, for their part, main-
thin that no satisfactory settlement of the
Roman question is possible, in face of the determined
attitude of the Left, who are resolved to destroy every
vestige of the Pope's spiritual independence, to confiscate
the property of the religious orders, to expel the Jesuits,
and to establish secular education. This programme will
not, of course, be sanctioned by the Vatican. The ques-
tion is causing great excitement among the Catholic
communities of Austria, Bavaria, and the Tyrol.
Meanwhile, the Catholic party have continued
to make the position of Princess Margarhita
at Rome very irksome, as only nine ladies of the
old noblesse have attended her balls. She is not able to
have Mass celebrated at the Quirinal, owing to the Ex-
communication, and altogether finds her situation so
painful that she threatens to return to Milan at the end
of the month. Prince Doria has agreed to accept the
post of Syndic of Rome on the transfer of the capital,
and Victor Emmanuel is resolved to take up his perma-
nent residence there in May.

The Army Estimates for the Colonies for the current
year are published. The total estimate is £1,855,706, or
about £50,000 less than last year. The greatest reduction
is made in the case of Canada, which figures for £13,302
against last year's £103,838. Gibraltar, at £284,227, and
Malta at £382,076, shew, the former a slight,
and the latter a considerable, increase. The re-
payments are expected to amount to £290,000.
This statement is exclusive of the cost of arms, accoutre-
ments, barrack, hospital, and other stores, the greater
portion of which is supplied from this country, and the
value of which cannot now be stated ; it is also exclusive
of any proportion of recruiting expenses, head-
quarter administrative expenses, and non-effective
charges. The estimates for Australia last session
were made with reference to four divisions of
the colony. In the present year's estimates the
sums for army services are only asked for Western
Australia. The following are the estimates asked for the
remainder of her Majesty's colonies :—Nova Scotia,
£114,684 ; Bermuda, £196,630; Cape of Good Hope,
(including Natal) £135,601 ; St. Helena, £22,767 ;
],Mauritius, £59,105 ; China, £162,001; Ceylon, £152,428 ;
Straits Settlements, £77,908 ; Sierra Leone, £17,562 ;
Gold Coast and Lagos, £16,513; Bahamas, £11,896;
Honduras, £12;798 ; Jamaica, £70,908 ; Windward and
Leeward Islands, £103,490.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
Lord Northbrook has promulgated some new regula-
lations with regard to the reserve forces. Officers wish-
ing to be attached to a regiment of militia are to apply
to the assistant adjutant-general of the district, instead
of to the War-office. The circular states that—" As it
is important that the examination of officers of Artil-
lery and 'Engineer Volunteers for certificates of pro-
ficiency should be conducted under one system and be uni-
form in their character, arrangements will be made for the
examination of such officers by officers of the Royal Artil-
lery and Royal Engineers specially appointed for the pur-
pose." The claims for the special capitation allowance of
50s. are to be made in a separate return on the Ist of April,
but an officer of volunteers who also holds a commission
in the militia will not be permitted to earn the special
allowance. It is also stated that no classes will be
formed at the schools of instruction until February next.
It may be expected as a fact that Lord Halifax will
succeed Mr. Childers, whose health is irretrievably gone.
Lord Halifax has probably drawn more public money for
his services to the country than any other office-holder.—
Birmingham Morning News.
mA. warrant has just been issued by the War Office to
govern pay, positions, and pensions of the army and all
Government establishments. The warrant provides that
master gunners shall be placed at the head of Class 1 of
non-commissioned officers, and that their total pension
shall not exceed 2s. od. per diem. This will seriously
affect the present master gunners.
The Army Reorganisation Bill will come before the
House of Commons on Thursday.

There are rumours that the next estimate will pro-
vide for a large increase in the corps of Royal Marines.
It is expected that this valuable branch of our defensive
service will be augmented by some 6,000 men.
NEW COLLIERY COMPANY.—We understand that
a company has been formed for the purpose of acquiring
and working the Coppa Colliery, near Mold, Flintshire.
Three well known Birmingham capitalists are the present
directors—viz., Mr. John Jaffray, Mr. Joseph S. Keep,
and Mr. Henry Griffith. The capital of the company
is £40,000, in 400 shares of £lOO each.—BirinintMan:

A FEROCIOUS DOG AT LARGE.-At the Brentford
Petty Sessions, Clayton Palmer, Esq., L.L.D., of
Twickenham, appeared to answer a summons for keep-
ing a ferocious dog, and allowing it to be
at large unmuzzled. Two little boys were produced
in court who had been bitten and knocked down in the
street by the dog, and police evidence was given showing that
the defendant had been cautioned. The defendant said
the question must be decided by the definition of the
term "ferocious dog."—The Chairman : Dogs that knock
little children down and bite them are ferocious.
(Laughter).—Defendant wished to argue the point, but
the Bench fined him 405., telling him they had decided
the question.

TOM ROBERTSON'S WILL.—It is so often the case
that both the chiefs and the rank-and-file of literature die
without making any provision for those whose whom they
leave behind to mourn their loss that it is quite a relief to
know that the late Mr. Robertson has left a policy of
insurance to the childreL of his first wife, and to the chil-
dren of his second wife the profits on his dramatic and
other works, and some other property. Messrs. Tom
Hood and Thomas Archer, two of the dead author's
nearest friends, are appointed executors to the will. Mr.
Robertson suffered greatly before his death from an accu-
mulation of water in the region of the lungs, by which
his breathing was rendered very difficult. •

NARROW ESCAPE OF A CLERGYMAN AND HIS
WIFE.—On Thursday, the Rev. J. Whiteley, vicar of
Pedmore, near Stourbridge, accompanied by his wife, was
driving a pony and carriage along the Birmingham Road,
between Hagley and Hales Owen, with the view of going
to Birmingham, when, unfortunately, they came into
collision with a donkey cart, which resulted in Mrs.
Whitely being thrown out of the carriage. Unhappily
one of her arms was brol, nd her head severely contused,
and she received several other injuries. Mr. R. L. Freer,
surgeon, Stourbridge, who was quickly sent for, paid every
attention to her injuries, and she is now progressing
favourably.
WRECK ON THE KENTISH COAST.--KINGSDOWNEg
February 11.—Last night it had been blowing a gale and
at daylight, during a strong breeze from the E.N.E.
(states Captain Dicey) the barque Richard and Harriet, of
Hull, bound thence to Penscicola, in ballast, got under
weigh, but on attempting to wear, she took the beach a
little to the south of Kingsdowne, and part of the crew
left in tfieir own boat and managed to get safely ashore,
but the master and six men remained on board. As the

Lifeboat Institution on this station—th 6 Sabrina—was
launched to their assistance. Considerable difficulty was
experienced in getting alongside, but the rescue was at
last effected, and the seven men landed. Since then the
vessel has become a total wreck.
THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.—A measure which will
accelerate promotion in the ranks of the Royal Artillery,
and thereby increase the popularity of that branch of
the service, has just emanated from the War Office. It
provides that master gunners shall be placed at the head
of Class 1 of non-commissioned officers, and that their
total pension shall not exceed 2s. ad. per diem. Up to
the present master gunners have been allowed to in-
crease their pensions at the rate of a penny per day for
each year's service ; but there will be now no
inducement for them to remain year after year till they
are-too old for employment in other occupations, and the
non-commissioned officers and men of junior rank have
the encouraging prospect of a healthy promotion. A new
description of case-shot for rifled ordnance, hitherto the
most unsatisfactory of artillery projectiles, has been tried
at the Royal Arsenal and at Shoeburyness with great suc-
cess, as it fulfils the principal desiderata of case in
breaking up at the requisite moment, and scattering its
contents over a very, large area. The new case-shot, the
inventor of which is Mr. Widgery, a foreman in the
Royal Laboratory, has been ordered for manufacture in
large quantities.
