A MIRACLE.—M. Alcan and M. Rene, a print
publisher and printer were indicted before the tribune
at Paris for having, without being duly authorised to do
so, printed and published an engraving, accompanied by
letter-press text, giving an account of " the Apparition of
the Holy Virgin to two Children on a Mountain of SallAte,
on Saturday, the 19th September, 1846." The account sets
forth how two children, employed in watching cows in the
mountains, beheld a vision of the Holy Virgin, who
was weeping upon a rock. She called and spoke to
them, making sundry complaints of the irregular manner
in which masses had been said to her, and if matters were
not mended, threatened a continuance, with increased
severity, of the potato disease, which she said was owing
to the carelessness and inattention shown to the rites of
religion, which were left to the care of old men, while
the young ones amused themselves and scoffed at its
mysteries. If the potato disease did not suffice to turn
them from the error of their ways, she threatened
the world with an utter failure of the corn crops
the following year ; if that did not do, with a com-
plete famine the next year ; and if all these means
did not do, she would kill all children under seven
years of age the following one. But if men turned
to her with true repentance, corn and potatoes
should flourish as they had never done before, and
the world would prosper. She commanded the two
children to relate to every one what had occurred She
walked talking with them for about half an hour, and
they observed that the grass did not bend beneath her
feet; she then gradually faded away in mist till she was
gone. They gave a very accurate account of her dress
and appearance. Since then, a confirmatory account of
the first statement had appeared, which further
declared that a spring of water had sprung up
where she sat, and that the rock had been en-
dowed with certain miraculous properties. Some
officers of the neighbouring garrison had experimented
upon a piece of it at their quarters. On striking it with
a knife, it burst open with a loud noise, displaying a
head of Christ with a crown of thorns. The deposition
of the two children was taken in the presence of five
ecclesiastics, and a number of laymen, and had made a
great impression in the neighbourhood where the vision
occurred. Judgment on the printer and publisher has
been postponed.—Gazette des Tribuneaux.
ANNOYING AND ASSAULTING ADMIRAL BOUCIIIER.
—Mark M'Cormack was charged on Tuesday, at West-
minster P dice-court, with attempting to break into the
bedroom of one of Admiral Bouchier's female servants,
and also with assaulting the Admiral. Admiral Bou-
chier occupied a suite of apartments in d-fendant's
house, and during the last few days he and his servants
had been subjected to considerable annoyance by the
defendant. About eleven o'clock on Monday night Jane
Isaacs, one of the Admiral's servants, met the defendant
on the drawing-room stairs and asked him where he
Ras going, when he replied, to the drawing-room, as it
belonged to him. As the drawing-room was in her
master's occupancy, she told him that he could not
enter there, at the same time informing him that a
female servant was sleeping in the room. He
replied, with an oath, that he did not care,
and endeavoured to enter the room, which was locoed.
The servant, alarmed at the noise he made, came
out in her night clothes, and was proceeding to call the
police, when the defendant knocked her down in some
way and very much bruised her. The admiral, who
had retired to rest for above an hour, heard the
melee, and left his room to ascertain the cause
of the disturbance, when defendant abused him in
the vilest manner, upon which he called in a police con-
stable, and for a short time all was quiet. rhe defen.
Janes violence continued, and, at the request of Ad
[Diva' Bouchier, a gentleman, a next door resident, who
had been alarmed by the cries of " Murder," came in
to protect the Admiral's lady and family whilst he
went for a police-constable. On his return, he en-
deavoured to obtain an entrance, when the de-
fendant struck him a blow with a candlestick on the
chin, after which he grasped him so firmly by the
throat that the complainant imaeined he was going
to strangle him. Mr. Byers, the gentleman alluded
to, who bad been left in charge of the family, fortunately
came up at the moment, and with great difficulty re-
leased the Admiral from defendant's hold. Defendant
entered into a lengthened rambling story, having no im-
mediate reference to the charge, and said that having
heard some reports prejudicial to the Admiral, as re•
garded his non-payment of little matters, he was de-
sirous that he should leave his house, and acting under
an impression that he should not get his money ot the
Admiral, admitted that he was very much excited and
unguarded in his language, but denied the assault. The
Admiral, who had previously stated that it was only
his wish that defendant should be held to bail to keep
the peace towards him, positively denied the assertions
contained in the prisoner's defence to his prejudice. Mr.
llroderip ordered the defendant to find good bail to keep
the peace.

bequeaths to her two nieces, Emily and Eleanor Drum-

buried, privately, and not in a vault.
STAFFORD.—Alderman Sidney, of London, to the
great surprise and regret ot his friends in Stafford, has
declined offeaing himself for the representation of this
borough. Family and local connections, it is thought,
would have insured his return.

CABINET DINNER.—The Right Hon. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer will entertain the members of the
Cabinet at dinner on Wednesday, the 23d instant, at his
official residence in Downing-street.
PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—We perceive that Mr.
Massingham, the indefatigible and obliging box-book keeper
of the Princess's, will take his annual benefit at that theatre
this evening ; we are sure his friends will rally around
him on the occasion, and that all who value a constant and
unceasing civility, and an anxious desire to render every one
within his depaftment the greatest possible amount of ac-
commodation, will testify their sense of his uniform good
conduct.
baLMON.—The salmon appear to have entered the
rivers at last, and in great numbers, several stations
having bad as many last week as for any month
since the commencement of the season, prices aro conse-
quently greatly reduced, and should fine weather con-
tinue, a further reduction may be expected.—Caledonian
Mercury.
JENNY LIND IN MANCEIESTER.—The Manchester
Theatre Royal is to have the enviable distinction of
being the only one in the provinces, within whose walls
the bewitching notes of the Swedish nightingale are to
be heard. The furore excited in the metropolis by
this celebrated cantatrice seems still unabated, if we
may judge by what we hear of the high prices
paid, of the coats and dresses torn, hats and shoes
lost, and the crushing and faintings at the entrances
of her Majesty's Theatre, every night that Jenny
Lind appears. As soon as the theatre closes this ex-
traordinary songstress and actress—for she is both to an
extent approaching perfection—is to give two perform-
ances in our Theatre Royal. This engagement has been
made by the proprietor, on such terms that he can only
be remunerated by full houses, at prices of admission
considerably above those usually taken; but we have no
doubt that, whatever the price of admission, the house
will be crammed on each occasion. Manchester
Guardian.
FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, between
twelve and one o'clock, as the fine ship Harrison Chil-
ton was about to proceed on her voyage to Bombay, a
very serious accident occurred on board, which, we aro
sorry to say, has unfortunately proved fatal. It
appears that, at the above hour, the vessel was
being hauled out of the Prince's Dock Basin, when
suddenly the hawser connecting her with the steamer
slipped its " bight." The steamer started forward at
that instant, pulled it taut ; but, unfortunately, Jbosetphht,
Parr, the chief mate, going forward, was caught
rope, and became jammed between it and toe an3c'hor.'
He was squeezed so tightly that his breast and back were
severely contused. He was, however, released from this
situation, and assistance being at hand, conveyed him to
the Northern Hospital. lie never spoke after the ac-
cident. He died in about an hour after arriving at the
hospital. The ship was obliged to haul into dock again
in consequence of the accident.—Liverpool Courier.
