ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE
ARCHBISHOP OF VIENNA.
A letter from Vienna, of the 13th, says—" The Prince
Archbishop of Vienna, M. de Milde, has just had u
narrow escape from assassination. In the morning of
Wednesday last, while the prelate was still in bed, his
valet de chambre came into his room, and pulling open
the curtains, exclaimed, Monseigneur, Jesus Christ has
appeared to me during the night, and ordered me to cut
the throat of the Archbishop of Vienna." Immediately
on pronouncing these words he drew a razor from hi,~
pocket, and held it towards the throat of the prelate.
M. Milde, who perceived that his servant was labouring
under an attack of mental alienation, had the presence
of mind to say to him, 'Listen, my friend; if the Saviour
has really charged you to take my life, you must do it,
for no one should disobey God's commands; but you
must do nothing without first addressing a prayer to the
Almighty. Pray, and I will resign myself to die by
'your hand." The domestic placed himself before a
crucifix, and began a silent prayer; whilst he was so
engaged, the prelate arose, and went into an adjoining
room, locking the door after him. The servant was after-
wards secured, and placed in a lunatic asylum."

THE WORCESTER GUARDIAN.—This journal was
published, for the last time, to-day (Friday), after ably
and faithfully fighting the battles of Conservatism, in
the districts through which it circulated, for upward:,
of twelve years. The proprietors of its ve-
teran ally, Benow's Worcester Journal (est&
blished in the year 1709), soma time since
purchased the copyright, types, &c., of- the Gelid/cm'
and, in discontinuing its publication, announce, " Tha
they have added its circulation and business to that,
of the Journal, assuring their numerous patrons
that the same independent course which ha,
guided the conduct of the Journal, and raised
it to the high estimation in which it is held amongst all
classes of the community, will be pursued with renewed
vigour, the conductors of the piper trusting, by the zealous
and faithful discharge of their duties, to maintain tot,
the Journal the proud position which it has held in the
city and county of Worcest:r for a period of nearly one
hundred and forty years."
YARMOUTH FISHERIES.—Our boats have most of
them made up, and have realised a larger catch than for
many years past, the boats averaging, accorcFmg to the
information received from an old fish merchant in the
town, from 33 to 40 lasts a boat. As far as can be as-
certained the prices average about 15/. a last, although a
few of the finest of the fish realised as much as 404 a
last. A large portion of the catch having been taken
during the last few weeks, it is feared that a market will
hardly be found for all of them, especially as the French
have been prevented purchasing, while the stock of billet
or cord wood is nearly exhausted, and the suspension of
the river traffic will render it difficult to obtain a fresh
supply for curing the latest. caught fish.—Cambridge
Advertiser.
The Poor-law Commissioners have appointed
Anewrin Owen, Esq., of Egryn, Denbighshire, one of
the Assistant Tithe ommissioners, to be an Assistant
Poor-law Commissioner, in the place of the late Colonel
Wade.

A German journal relates the following. :—A short
me ago M. Fraxiexoni, the professor of Italian at the
University of Prague, announced that in future during
his lectures all the Jewish students would be expected
to occupy the seat behind the Christian students, of
whatever country. Some of the young Jews rt•sisted
this order, and took their seats promiscuously. The
professor remonstrated, and most of the Christian stu
dents took part with him. The Jews laid a complaint
before the director of studies, M. Zeitler, a prelate, who
summoned a council of the professors, at which M.
Fraxiexoni demanded the expulsion of six of the Jews
who had been most active in their resistance to his order.
M. Zeitler, however, reprobated him severely for his
intolerance, and informed him that the council would not
admit of such distinctions. The Dean of the Univer-
sity, who is also a prelate, said he coincided with M.
Zeitler, and M. Fraxiexoni was compelled, on pain of
dismissal, to retract the order that he had given.
USEFUL TO CORN DEALERS.—The following com-
munication as to the means ofconverting the continental
prices of corn into English computation is from Mr.
'rate, a well-known authority in matters of commercial
calculation:—" The anxious attention which is now
directed to the prices of corn on the Continent giving
rise to frequent quotations of trade prices in France, I
beg to inform those of your readers who may not be ac-
quainted with the manner of converting such prices into
those of this country, that, assuming the par of ex-
change to be 25i francs per pound sterling, if 228
shillings be multiplied by the number of francs in the
price per hectolitre, and the 'product be divided by 100,
or the two lower figures be cut off, the result will be the '
number of shillings per imperial quarter. Thus a recent
quctation for the price of wheat being 25 francs per
hectolitre, 2285. multiplied by 25 equals 5,700, giving
575. for the equivalent price per imperial quarter. It
may be serviceable further to mention that a variation of
one franc per hectolitre is about equal to that of 2s. 3d.
per imperial quarter.
CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.—The com-
pletion of this undertaking promises many indirect bene-
fits, beyond the direct and substantial one of furnishing
the shortest line to Oxford and London. The building
now occupied as the General Hospital and Dispensary
will be required for the purposes of the works, and the
town—by an advantageous arrangement with the com-
pany—will secure what has long been considered a desi•
deratum—an extended building on an improved site.
The officials of the company attended the quarterly
beard at the hospital on Monday last, and proposed to
purchase the hospital at cost price—to pay in advance
expense of plans and specifications for a new erection,
and also the full purchase-money one month after the
passing of their Bill, the hospital to be carried on in the
present building, for one year after that period. The
proposal was unanimously accepted by the governors of
the charity, and the time is not far distant when a new
hospital and dispensary—ornamental to the town, and in
every way adapted for the benevolent purpose for which
it was established—may be expected to rise on the
Sandford-field, a site most eligible, and the land for
which was secured some years since. We find, also, by
reference to the deposited plans, that the Grammar
School will be required, and that, consequently, an-
other school-house will have to be erected at the expense
of the company. This will afford an excellent oppor-
tunity of increasing the extent of the bulding, and also
of extending the usefulness of the school.—Cheltenham
Chronicle.

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM WAKEFIELD GAOL,
AND RECAPTURE.—On Saturday evening a young man
named Joseph Ibbotson made his escape from the Wake-
field House of Correction, to which he had been com-
mitted for two years, at the last York assizes, on a
charge of passing base coin. He had broken through
the roof of a privy, and, after climbing over several
walls, precipitated himself from a height of about six
yards to the ground. his escape, it is said, must have
been attended with imminent danger. His flight having
been discovered, information was sent to the neighbour-
ing towns; and on Monday evening, about half an hour
after receiving notice of the occurrence in Manchester,
the prisoner was in the custody of Mr. Superintendent
Taylor, by whom he was given up to the Governor of
the Wakefield prison. He had been twice convicted at
the borough sessions in Manchester, heinv on one occa-
sion sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the New
Bailey, and afterwards confined for twelve months in
Lancaster Castle.—Manchester Guardian.-
