cient to enable the Directors, atter setting aside upwards of 204,0001.
as a Guarantee Fund, to declare and provide for the following

I. An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per Annum for the

THE GAME LAws.—The Court of Session has this
week given decisions in two game cast s, both of
winch are very important, and one at least very curious.
In one case the tenant has been found entitled to dama
ges from the landlord, on the ground that the amount of
game was " exceasive.” In the other, the tenant (Mr.
James Gulland, Newton of Wemyss, Fifeshire) was
found to have gone beyond the law in his novel and in-
gtplotis se:ieme of frightening the game off his crops
without hurting it, by means of blank shots and muzzled
dogs. The tenant in the first case has several similar
ones before the court ; and, judging from the decision
;At, tidy given, en, is likely to gain them all. The landlord
concerned in the actions brought by both tenants is Cap-
taro
Wemyss of Wemyss, Lord-Lieutenant of Fifeshire,
and late M.P. Captain Wemyss, we understand, has
lately relaxed the strictness of his game. preserving so
far as to give leave to his tenants to sport over their wn
farms.— Scotsman.
MILITARY EXECUTION IN INDIA.—The progress of
insubordination amongst the European soldiers of her
Majesty's corps in the Upper Provinces has not been at
all checked by the threats of severity that have been held
out, and the Commander-in-Chief, after issuing a long
order, framed with the object of dispelling the delusion
prevalent with respect to the treatment felons receive on
transportation, has found it necessary to order the sen-
tence of death to be carried out in two instances. In
one of these a man named Atkins, who had been con-
victed of striking an assistant-surgeon, was selected as
victim, and twelve men were ordered to act as execu-
tioners. All the troops at Meerut were assembled to
witness the scene. The unhappy man to the last ex-
pected a reprieve. At length, however, the mandate was
elven to fire ; and, strange to say, but one bullet struck
him, and that in the thigh. The provost-sergeant stepped
forward, and blew out his brains with a pistol, and all
the twelve men who had fired were cast into confine-
ment, and will be tried for a conspiracy to evade the
performance of their duty. Of the other execution, no
particulars has as yet been received.
INFLUENZA AND FEVER IN GLASGOW.—Probably
at no time have so many of the inhabitants of the city
beer. laid up with this disagreeable and plaguy thing
called influenza as there have been during these last
eight or ten days. Almost every family is complaining
of it, but, fortunately, it is light and mild in its features,
and a few hours knocks it off. With regard to that
other far more formidable disease, fever, we lament to
state that we can give no favourable report of it this
week. On the contrary, it is becoming more fatal, and
creeping onwards to the higher classes. It is in vain
for its to urge now the want of additional fever hospital
accommodation at the beginning—a year and upwards
ago; but if we are spared, we shall let our voice be heard
again upon that subject ere long.—Scotch Reformers'
Gazette.

THE MURDER AND ROBBERY OF MR. BELLCIUAM•
MRS.—ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday
Mr. Bedford resumed, at the Grosvenor Arms, Kensing-
ton-place, Regent-street, the adjourned inquiry respect-
ing the death of Mr. John Bellchambers, the unfortu-
nate gentleman who was murdered and robbed in the
open street on the 11th of last October. Mr. Inspector
Taylor produced the confession M'Coy had made since
he had been in custody, and a copy of which has already
appeared in this journal. Several witnesses, whose
evidence has been fully reported on former occasions, hav-
ing been examined, the Coroner summed up, and, after
an hour's consultation, the jury returned the following
♦erdict:—Wilful murder against Thomas Sale, George
ISI‘Coy, Thomas Doyle, John Lloyd, and another man
unknown; Thomas Sale being principal in the first de-
gree, George M Coy and Thomas Doyle being principals
i❑ the second degree, and John Lloyd and a man un-
known being accessories before the fact.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—AN AFFECTION OF THE SPINE
AND LIMBS CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
Pru.s.—Mrs. Reynolds, landlady of the William the
Fourth Inn, St. Ives, Hunts, had been ill for fourteen
months with an affection of the spine, her feet and legs
were dreadfully swoollen, and she became perfectly
helpless. Several eminent surgeons and physicians at-
tended her, under whose care she derived no benefit,
but by the recommendation of Mr. Prior, druggist, Bed-
ford, she tried llolloway's Pills and Ointment. These
fine medicines, in about nine weeks, so completely re-
st,red her to health and strength, that she is now able
to resume the duties of her household with ease and
comfort.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol-
loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
SOUTH- WESTERN RAILWAY AND LONDON-BRIDGE
EXTENSlON.—Yesterday the materials of upwards of
fifty houses, situated in Mill-street, Granby street,
Homer-street, and Harlington street, South Lambeth,
were sold by order of the directors of this company, to
permit the extension of this railway to London-bridge.
The opposition to the proposed method of crossing
Church, street has been withdrawn by the inhabitants.
• BLACKBIRDS.—It does not seem to be generally
known that blackbirds in mountainous places change
their colour, after the manner of ptarmigan, from
summer black to transition grey. We have seen seve-
ral specimens on the heights of Lochcarron and Loch-
lash, in winter, quite white.—Ross-shire Advertiser.

ELECTION OF MR. SALOMONS
AS ALDEIZIIAN.
CORDIVAINERS' WARD.—Yesterday afternoon a
wardmote was held in the vestry of the church of St.
Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, for the election of an alder-
man for the ward of Cordwainers', in the room of
Mr. Thomas Wood, resigned. The Lord Mayor
presided, attended by Mr. Charles Pearson, M.P.,
City Solicitor in waiting, as assessor for the occasion.
There were present Mr. Alderman Sidney, Mr. R.
L. Jones, Mr. David \Vire, and' several other well-
known City faces. Deputy Muddell and the Com-
mon Councilmen of the ward w-re also in their
places. The Baron Lionel de R Ahschild,
M.P., was
expectEd to attend, and, indeed, during one part of
the proceedings was sent for, but business was un-
derstood to prevent him making his appearance. Ihe
precept having been read, and the usual formalities
gone through,
Mr. WlitistAs nominated Mr. David Salomons as
s fit and proper person to fill the office of Alderman
of the ward. There was, he said, only one objection
ever urged to Mr. Salomons, and that objection was
his difference of faith. But in these days differences
of faith must merge in general questions of fitness,
and if a man's talents and integrity qualified him for
a post, they ought to consider it a privilege to elect
him without considering the differences of faith.
The gentleman he proposed had been tried in various
public stations, and found to be an active, benevolent,
talented, and liberal-minded man. He had, although
a Jew, given an endowment for a scholarship of the
value of 501. a year to the City of London School.—
(Hear, hear.) He had been sheriff of this city and
of another county. He was magistrate of two
counties, and had proved himself valuable on the
bench in both. The loss they had sustained in the
business habits of Mr. Alderman Wood could not be
better snpplied than by Mr. Salomons, and he begged
accordingly to propose him for election.
Mr. LOTT, a solicitor in the ward, seconded the
nomination. Before the question was put,
Mr. AINGER, an inhabitant, rose to call attention to
an article which had appeared in a public journal re-
lative to the constituency of this ward. The matter
was of some consequence, and he believed there had
been a mistake. He believed the constituency con-
sisted of 320, nearly double the number mentioned.
An INHABITANT, whose name we could not learn,
said Mr. Ainger laboured under a mistake. He hap-
pened to know that, though there were 320 house-
holders or more, there were only 125 individually
entitled to exercise the franchise. The existing
arrangements, as had been justly said, were matters
of great abuse. He himself had opened a tavern in
the ward, and within a fortnight after he had opened
it he was called upon to take up his civic freedom,
although within a door or two of him were rich mer-
chants doing thousands of pounds' worth of business a
day, who were never required to do anything of the
sort. He felt the present system to be a wrong one,
and a persecution upon the small dealer.
Mr. CLARK, an inhabitant, said that with regard to
the nomination before them, he must oppose Mr.
Salomons on religious grounds ; he was a Christian,
and he did not think his interests ought to be corn
mitted to a Jew.

The LORD MAYOR called for the show of hands,
which was taken and exhibited-49 for Mr. David
Saloinons and three against him. llis Lordship
thereupon declared Mr. Salomons to be duly elected.
Alderman SALOMONS then came forward to return
thanks. After expressing his deep sense of the high
honour conferred upon him, he said that on the one
point that had been urged against him he wished to
be unreserved and explicit. It was his hope and be-
lief that his conduct as a magistrate of this great city
would carry conviction to the minds of all that the
duties of a public officer might be discharged faith-
fully and ably without regard to religious differences.
On matters of religion, he, for his part, felt that he
was accountable to his God; on matters of duty he
was accountable to those who honoured him with
their confidence. It was his boast to act on this
principle, that there was no religious liberty without
civil freedom; and that the converse held good, that
there was no civil freedom without-religious liberty.
With respect to what had been said about the con-
stituency, he believed it to be true that there were
but 125 qualified voters in the ward ; but of these he
had promises from 80, and if there had been 250
qualities) roters, he felt assured that he should have
had the support of the 200.—(Hear, hear.) He
concluded by returning them his most heartfelt
thanks.

Mr. CARLISLE, an old and respectable inhabitant,
proposed a vote of thanks to their late Alderman,
Mr. Thomas Wood, for the great anxiety he had
always displayed to promote the interests of the
ward. The motion was seconded and carried unani-
mously, one gentleman expressing great regret that
the Court of Alderman had dune Mr. Wood the
great wrong of refusing to elect him to the civic
chair.

Alderman SALOPdONS then proposed, and Mr. De-
puty MUDDELL seconded, a vote of thanks to the
Lord Mayor; and a vote of thanks having also been
passed amid acclamation to Mr. J. J. Millard, who
had very ably performed the office of ward clerk for
the day, the wardmote was dissolved by proclamation.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.---A corre-

" Mat-

I left Glasgow last night at ten by the mail train, and
arrived in safety at the Mound ; but whilst proceeding
from thence to the North-bridge station, the train came
in contact wirh something or other with a terrific crash.
The passengers in the same compartment with myself
were a lady and two gentlemen. The lady had her
back severely bruised ; one gentleman had his head and
face severely cut ; and the other and myself expe-
rienced a severe shock and stroke on the shim._

THE SEE OF HEREFORD.—We have authority for
stating unequivocally that Dr. Hampden has been ap-
pointed the successor to the respected Dr. Musgrave in
this diocese. We make this statement in consequence
of rumours to the effect that the appointment had not
been finally made by the Government. Whatever may
be our individual predilections, we most unreservedly
acknowledge that the Government, in this appointment,
appears to us to have selected an eminent divine, a pro-
found scholar, and a most exemplary clergyman.—
