DEATH OF M. BAROQUE.

M. Baroche died at Jersey on Saturday last. Since the
fall of the French Empire he had resided in that island,
where he selected a house in Almorah-crescent. He was
in delicate health, and, it is said, had over-taxed
his energies by an excessively long walk, after which
he gradually sank and died, at the age of 67. M. Pierre-
Jules Baroche was a member of the Privy Council of
France under the Empire, and a Senator, and had the
Grand Cross of tho Legion of Honour. He had also held
the offices respectively of Keeper of the Seals and
Minister of Justice and Religion. The funeral was fixed
for Wednesday, the service being at the French Roman
Catholic Chapel of St. Thomas, and all acquaintances,
particularly those who have been exiled by the pending
troubles of France, were invited.

The deaths are announced of Lady Douglas, widow
of the late Sir J. A. Douglus ; Lady Currie, widow of the
late Sir Edmund Currie, K.C.H. ; and Lady Lawson,
widow of the late Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Bart.
The Hungarian Budget for 1871 chews a revenue
of 159,136,000 florins, which is 8 millions more than in
1869, 18 millions more than in 1868, and nearly 60 millions
more than in 1866.

pondent telegraphs that early yesterday morning a barge

lying in the Rochdale Canal at Ancoats, took fire and

injured.
THE ALLEGED MURDER BY BOYS AT NEWCASTLE.—
The inquest on the body of Hannah Robson, who, as
already stated, was supposed to have been pushed into the
River Tyne and drowned on the 23rd ultimo, terminated
in the verdict of " Wilful murder" against the lad
Thomas Keeney. It is said that the lad was seen to push
her into the water, about one o'clock in the morning, by
a woman who was looking out of a window close to the
spot.

HAVItE RESOLVED ON ACTION.—A despatch
has been forwarded to M. Gambetta from the sub-prefect,
the commandant, and the Mayor of Havre, declaring
that the town, " aroused by his sublime proclamation," '
awaited his orders to act. Let him indicate the spot at
which the disposable forces of the district should be con-
centrated, and in 24 hours every man would be at his post.
The Havre authorities recommend that a military leader
should be appointed in each department to have the ex-
clusive direction of the army, the Freeshooters, the
National Guard, both mobilised and stationary. It is in-
dispensable to put an end to the present conflicts of
authority without delay, if France is to be saved and the
Republic preserved.
CAPTURE OF AN ABSCONDING MANUFACYrURER.—A
clever capture has been made by the police of the Black-
burn Hundred of John Carter, formerly a manufacturer
at Clayton-le-Moors, near Blackburn. Several months
ago Carter became insolvent to the extent of
£lO,OOO, and while the creditors were making an
inquiry into the state of his affairs, Carter
absconded. Mr. Read, superintendent of the police,
obtained the information that Carter, under the assumed
name of Clayton, had sailed for Queensland in the
Young Australia, an emigrant vessel, and Sergeant Luke
Wilkinson, under 24 hours' notice, was sent off by the
Overland Mail in pursuit of the runaway. The officer
who sailed three weeks after the Young _Australia left
port, reached Brisbane the same length of time before
it arrived. Wilkinson applied to the Judge of the
Supreme Court to have his warrant endorsed, but, as
that was the first application of the kind that had
! ever been made, the Court was puzzled how to act.
The Judge, however, endorsed the warrant and Wilk-
inson patiently waited until it could be executed.
When the Young Australia neared the harbour Wilkin-
son, in company with the medical officer of health,
boarded her. Carter, who had previously known Wil-
kinson, wat not aware of his presence until he was
accosted as "Mr. Carter," and his surprise at his arrest
is said to have been extreme. The property found on
Carter consisted of a draught on the Brisbane Bank for
£4OO and £lOO in gold and silver. Wilkinson and his cap-
tive are now on their return journey, and are expected to
land on the sth inst., when Carter will be proceeded
against by his creditors.
A BOON voR LADIES.—Highly as sewing machines are
prized, there is one great fault to which they are addicted—WA),
make a great noise while doing the work a noise so great that
for a worker herself to talk at the same time is out of the ques-
tion. We need not say how trying this must be to a lady. To
be not only prevented from talking, but also from listening to
the gossip of those around her—the very thought of such a
thing is unendurable. Well, an inventor has come to their
rescue with a SILENT SEWING MACHLNE; and as it comprises
all the appliances gad devices for varied work with which all the
best sewing machines are provided, and several in addition, and
exercises them all so '.-loistlLEssLy that the ladies may gossip
even in whispers, and the Infant or invalid sleep on in peace, we
expect that most of the old machines will ere long be heard, or
heard of, no more, and that "LA SILENCIEUSE," the Silent
Sewing Machine (at Messrs. roLLAcig, SCHMIDT, and Cu.'s,
210 A, B.EGENT-STREET, LONDON, W.), will quietly take their
place, as the universal domestic helper.--"investment Circular
