JURY COURT, EDINEURGII.—On the 17th October,
last year, Mr. Wilson, dentist in Edinburgh, was killed at
the Trinity-station, by falling down a stair. This stair
led immediately from the station-room down to a cellar,
being separated only by a door, which Mr. Wilson had
opened, supposing ho was entering a passage leading to
another apartment. Mr. Wilson left eight children, and
an action was raised in their name, against the Edin-
burgh and Northern Railway Company, concluding for
8,000/. damages. The case was set down to be tried by
a jury yesterday (Wednesday), but after the Court had
met, we understand a compromise was agreed to, by
which the company bound themselves to pay to the chil-
dren of Mr. Wilson the sum of 1,1001., each party pay-
ing their own expenses.—Caledonian Mercury.
On Wednesday a man unknown was brought from
the ship liottinguer, lying in the river. Ho was in a
deplorable state, his body being worn almost to a ske-
leton. It is said that ho stowed himself away at New
York, and, when found, could not bo induced to leave
the place where he had secreted himself; that subse-
quently, in consequence of refusing sustenance, he lost
the use of his reason, and to relapsed into the state in
which he was when brought to the hospital. An inquest
will bo hold to-day, when the circumstances of the case
will be fully inquired into.—Liverpool Mercury.

sorry to learn that this vessel ran on a rock near Cape
Wrath, on the morning of the 16th current, and has

EXTRAORDINARY TELEGRAPHIC FEAT.—President
Polk's cumbrous message, containing upwards of 50,000
words (I), was flashed all the way from Baltimore to St.
Louis in twenty-four hours, and this, too, with the mi-
nutest punctuation mark in the document. Copies were
also dropped on the way, at York, Harrisburg, Carlisle,
Chambersburg, Bedford, and Pittsburg, in Pennsyl-
vania; Massillon, Cleveland, Zanesville, Columbus,
Dayton, and Cincinnati, in Ohio; Madison and Evans-
ville, in Indiana; Louisville, in Kentucky; and Saline,
in Illinois. The gentlemen who accomplished this won-
de; ful mental, mechanical, and electrical feat are Messrs.
O'Reilly, of the Atlantic and Lake Telegraph Company,
and 11. J. Rogers, of the American Telegraph Company,
who wished to prove beyond all cavil that the lightning
line can be made available for the transmission of large
documents as well as for short messages, and we think
they have pretty well satisfied the public of their ability
to do it. Messrs. Reddish and Hough, of Philadelphia,
connected with the O'Reilly line, were detained for the
most important part of the duty to be performed, that
of writing the entire document in Baltimore. Their
arduous task was begun on Tuesday, shortly after the
message came to hand, and at a few minutes before two
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon finished their almost
Herculean undertaking—at which hour the signature
of James K. Polk and the Washington date were
written as plain and legibly as the caption had been, 24
hours previously. The two operators were at work, re-
lieving each other occasionally, during the entire time,
with the exception of a couple of hours, when they
were interrupted by a storm at the western end of the
line.—New York Express.
POWER OF THE PRESS.—The Hants Independent
says—" The press is very powerful—but it can't after
all induce its correspondents to write only on one side
of the paper when they nut their letters printed."

The National contains the following remarks on the
statement of the Minister of Finance in the National
Assembly on Wednesday :
".As long as the Minister of Finance shall not have
proved that nothing can be taken away from the Budget
of Expense, we shall continue to demand that the reduc-
tion of two-thirds be adopted. The budget of Public Works
amounts, for 1849, to the enormous sum of 193,000,000. If
it were reduced to 170,000,000, would there not rersain
enough of public works for the year? Or if a reduction
of 23,000,000 f. be too great for that item, has it been
demonstrated that the security of the country would be
compromised if some thousands of men were reduced
from our immense army? That cannot be sustained.
But what is certain is, that the Government, yield-
ing to the tendency of all Governments, will de-
fend with obstinacy the 23,000,000 E in question as
long as there is a chance of having them, and will
do without them, if they are refused. We be-
seech the Assembly, therefore, to pay less at-
tention to the financial question and more to the mo-
ral and political ones. A revolution would be an evil
without compensation, if the condition of the people
were not ameliorated by it. The Republican era ought
to be marked in the memory of the poorer classes by
salutary reforms,:by a positive, material, and palpable alle-
viation of their sufferings. But of all the imposts which
weigh on them, the duty on salt is the most disastrous,
the most unequal, the most odious. Let it not be said
that they are accustomed to it; they bear it, but with
curses. Let the Republic relieve them of this over-
whelming burden, and they will bless the Republic.
That is the essential point, and we conjure all truo Re-
publicans to reflect on it." .
The Evenement states that M. Guizot will arrive
in Paris in the early part of the next month, and
mentions a report that he will plus himself at the

MONSTER PIGS.—Two pigs belonging to Mr. John
Hall, Barton Vicarage, Westmoreland, were slaughtered
on Monday, the 18th instant, by Jokn Cannon, of Sock-
bridge, twelve months old, which weighed, together, 65i
stones.—Carlisle Journal.
THE FREE NAVIGATION OF THE ST. LAWRENCE.—
The adjourned meeting of the inhabitants of Montreal,
in favour of repealing the English navigation-laws, so
far as Canada is concerned was, say the Montreal
papers, attended by two or three thousand persons, and
the proceedings characterised by unanimity and In-
thusiasm.
WANTON MURDER IN CORK.—.About the hour of
eight o'clock on the evening of Sunday last, a sailor,
named Michael Mahony, whilst in a state of intoxication
on Merchant's Quay, caught hold of a boy who was
quietly passing by, and without the slightest provoca-
tion stabbed him in the right side. The boy immedi-
ately fell, and the offender was taken into custody.
Alter being taken to the North Infirmary, it was ascer-
tained that the wound was of a most dangerous charac-
ter; and the wounded boy was considered in so critical
a position that it was deemed advisable to take his depo-
sitions. Mahony was then conveyed to the infirmary,
where he was recognised by the boy as the person who
stabbed him, aud committed to Bridewell. The boy died
in ta few hours after,

At Rio Janeiro were her Majesty's frigate Inconstant,
36, Captain John Shepherd, and her Blajesty's packet
brig Crane, 6, Lieutenant Commander John Parsons,
homeward bound, waiting the return mail. The brigan-
tine lii strel, Lieutenant Commander Henry Baker, was
gone southward with the Crane's mail. The American
frigate Brandywine, and the French corvette Triom-
phante, with several Brazilian men-of-war, were at Rio.
The United States' corvette St. Louis had sailed for the
River Plate. From Rio the Calliope brings specie
valued at about 150,0001.
The Calliope is rather crank and overmasted, but
otherwise is considered a fine ship, and sails fairly. Her
crew are in a healthy state, and have been so during
their absence from England. She has only lost five
hands, viz., three by casualties and two in action—one,
a blue jacket, at Orokiwi, and another, a marine, at
Ruapekapeka. The Hon. Henry Petre comes home
pssionger from New Zealand. Some of the officers of
the Calliope are under arrest on a charge of forgery at
New Zealand, which will lead to a court-martial.
His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief had just 'pub-
lished, in the New Zealand Government Gazette, an ex-
tract from the minutes of the Executive Council, dated
August 19, 1848, in which they express their gratitude
to the captain, officers, and crew of the Calliope, for

ITALY.

The Concordia of Turin, states from Pavia, that on
the day a Te Deum was to be sung in honour of the
accession of the Emperor, inscriptions were
everywhere met with on the walls, to the fol-
lowing effect :—" Death to the new tyrant, Francis
Joseph! It is aDe Profundis, not aTe Deum, that
ought to be sung." On that day also, most of the
inhabitants visited the cemetery instead of the church.
