CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

-

The January Sessions commenced this morning
this morning, at the Old Bailey, before the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, &c. The calendar contains
the names of 65 prisoners. The Recorder, in
charging the grand jury, said the cases were not
numerous, and there were not arising out of
circumstances involving the loss of human life.
There were, however, two charges of wounding,
with intent to murder. In one case John
Alexander was charged with attempting to murder
his wife. She threatened to leave him and go
to another person, with whom she had been living
previously, and upon that he struck her violently
on the head. It would be for them to say whether,
under these circumstances, he intended to murder
her. In another case a man named Kean was
charged with stabbing the prosecutor, and when he
went home to his lodgings he was seen to take a
knife out of his pocket and wipe it. 'I he grand
jury then retired.
The trial of Mint cases occupied the whole of the
remaining part of the day.

At a large 'reefing of men engaged in iron works
held yesterday at West Hartlepool, it was decided to accept
the 5 per cent. advance proposed by the masters at Darling-
ton, leaving the other 5 per cent. to be decided by the arbi-
trator.

The Limerick Chronicle states that in consequence
of the disturbed state of the district, the magistrates at the
Thtthkeale quarter sessions resolved to strengthen the police
force. In charging the grand jury, Mr. John Leahy, Q.C.,
intimated that he had received,orders from the Government
to send to the assizes cases where one juror differed from his
fellow eleven with intent to frustrate the ends of justice.
It has been s'ated that the Bishopric of Sierra
Leone has been offered by Mr. Gladstone to the Rev. Dr.
Massingham. The Birminyham Post understands that the
bishopric was offered to Dr. Massingham at the request of
the late bishop, and that Mr. Gladstone has nothing to do
with the matter.

The colonelcy of the 106th Regiment, vacant by
the death of Sir David Capon, has not yet been filled up.
It will probably, says the Army and Nary Gazette. be given
to Lieutenant-General Maurice Barlow, the present colonel
of the 3d.West India Regiment, who will lose his colonelcy
on the breaking up of that regiment.

The Marquess of Drogheda presided yesterday at
a meeting of the Convention delegates of the United Dio-
c3se of Dublin, Glandelagh, and Kildare. A form of queries
for the acquirement of information as to the several parishes
of the diocese was proposed by Sir Edward Grogan, and re-
ccived favourably by the committee, but the meeting was
adjourned till Thursday next.

A newspaper correspondent draws attention to the
pouch which it is intondod to issue to the Foot Guards. A
board of field officers assembled yesterday to consider the
subject, and their report is said to be in favour of a pouch of
such a shape that even a smart soldier can, at the utmost,
extract from it Only three cartridg,a vt: :Mutate. "In these
days of breech-loaders," the Pall .3.1,.a says,Shia certainly
seems to be absurd."

A boy of twelve, son of onool e'i leading manu-
facturers of Wolverhampton, ive.s out shooting with an
elder brother and other companions yesterday, when, as he
was handing a loaded gun over a hedge, the trigger snapped,
and th charge lodged in his shoulder. The little fellow
was quickly carried home, and when the surgeons who were
sent for arrived, the arm had to be removed from the socket
to render the saving o; his life probable.

The Standard, in commenting upon the banquet at
Barnstaple the other day, says :—" Th 9 Liberal leaders
must earnestly pray to be delivered from their friends in the
West of England. The Earl of Portsmouth can find no
better eulogium for Mr. Bright than an assurance that "the
devil is not so black as he is painted." At a banquet which
took place at Barnstaple he justified his anxiety to drink the
health of her Majesty's Ministers in the familiar phrase wr
have quoted."
Yesterday morning the body of John Moss, joiner,
was found among the ruins of a. warehouse at Liverpool, the
fall of which has been previously reported. Of course, life
was quite extinct, the probability being that deceased was
killed almost immediately. He was discovered in an upright
position, and it is conjectured that he was endeavouring to
escape when overtaken by the falling buildings. Two lives
have thus been lost by the calamity, in addition to the in•
juries sustained by the man Butler.
The Bishop of Carlisle in a sermon yesterday, at
the re-opening of a church at Aikton, spoke emphatically
as to the duty of church adornment, and laid special emphasis
upon the necessity of improving the "warmth" of our
ohuroh services. Music must be cultivated, not fitfully, but
steadily and in earnest. He allowed that worship might
have all external appearances of heartiness, and y
b
a tinkling cymbal ; but he said our danger did not lie in that
e butes
direction, but in slighting religious service altogether.
The Bishop of Winchester (says the South London
Courier) has given his attention to the state of Church
affairs in St. Giles's, Camberwell, and in a manner that pro-
mises speedy and satisfactory results. A conference with
some of the principal parishioners as to the state of eccle-
siastical affairs in the parish will take place next week, and
it will be one at which all shades of opinion will be repre-
sented. It is understood that this will be purely a confe-
rence of laymen with their bishop.
The Irish Land Bill, if we may believe the Irish
Tuna, is now in the hands of the law officers in Dublin.
Our contemporary learns that "in the main the measure,
as Mr. Tilling has drafted it, rather increases than dimi-
nishes the rights of property, while at the same time it
places within reach of the tenant, who feels himself in a
degree aggrieved, the most con-,plete and inexpensive ma-
chinery through local tribunals for securing everything
which he can reasonably claim, either on the ground of long
tenure or admitted improvements.
Dr. Twells, Bishop of the Orange Free State, wbo
is said to be at present in London, has sent in his resigna-
tion as a missionary of the Propagation Society. The
t
Bishop (4 Caretown, the Metropolitan of South Africa, has
cited Bishop Tells to appear before him on the 31st of
January, and if ho does not oLey the injunction he will be
mally
deprived of his see. Great excitement prevails on
hfot
3 subject in all the African diceeses. It a quite expected
that, under the painful circums' antes of the case, Dr. Twells
sill not appear, and in that case Archdeacon Merriman will,

continued to-day. A
nurse, who said that patients were in the infirmarywho ought
not to be there, spoke, in examination, of the number of rats
in the sick wards. In five weeks ono of the patients caught
fourteen rats. Did not hear complaints of those animals
running over the beds; but knew that four cham-
ber vessels were broken by throwing them at the rats,
and the patients who had sticks would throw them at the
rats, and others would throw chamber vessels. The
patients never complained. Mr. Bore, Q.C., who was con-
ducting the inquiry, said that the only good that could
accrue from this evidence was that patients were in
