ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—In order that the line of
telegraph communication now in course of erection on
the railway from Hull to other parts may not obstruct
the navigation of the Ouse at Selby, it will cross the
river at such an elevation as will allow the largest vessel
trading there to • pass below the wires without
their masts. This will be efficted by a large
mast, i., feat in length, surmounted by a topmast 68 feet
long, scented to the piles in the river, and by a second
mast 80 feet Jon;, with a 56-feet topmast, fixed in the
masonry on land. On the top of these twelve wires
will pass, protected by suitable lightning conductors,
and the whole stayed with patent wire rigging. To give
as nautical a character as practicable to the erections,
the masts and topmasts are fitted with crosstrees and
caps, similar to those of an immense schooner. The
whole have been made in Hull, at the establishment of
Mr. T. A. Wilkinson, under the superintendence of Mr.
J. Aughton, the contractor. The telegraph will be
completed in two or three weeks from Hull to Milford
Junction, which will place us in communication with
York, Scarborough, Newcastle, and the ports of Dur-
ham northward, and with Leeds on the west ; and also,
in a few more weeks, with Liverpool westward, and
Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Rotherham, Derby, and
London south ; also with Birmingham and other south-
western towns. The telegraph is erecting on the Bur-
lington line, and will be opened throughout in a month
or two.—Eastern Counties Herald.

WELLS.—DIOCESE OF BATH AND WELLS.—Tha
Bishop of Bath and Wells has given notice that he re-
quires all persons who propose to offer themselves as
candidates for deacon's orders, to write to him, asking
his permission, at least six months before Trinity Sunday
and Christmas respectively, stating their age, college,
academical degree, and usual place of residence, together
with the names f two or more clergymen, or other
persons of respectability to whom the Bishop may refer
if he think fit. It is not necessary that the person so
applying should, at the time of his application, be pro-
vided with a title, which may be sought afterwards. The
title, however. is required to be communicated at least
three months before the day of ordination.—Sherborxe
Journal.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN CUE.
SHIRE —The following information was received at the
police office last night, that at twelve o'clock yesterday
noon, Mr. Thomas M'Gill, a travelling draper, residing
at Edward-street, Hanvover-street, was shot in the head
(supposed with a pistol), and then robbed of two 201.
Bank of England notes, two 51. notes, 181. in gold, and
from 31. to 41. in silver, and a 10/. Bank of England
note—total 821., effected by a man named John
Wright, who, after robbing him, attempted to drag
him to a brook, no doubt with the intention of
drowning him, but was prevented from effecting
his purpose by some men who were at work in an
adjoining field, near to the high road at Tabley, Che-
shire. Wright is described as a Scotch traveller, and
was living at Benton Cross, with his father, about three
miles from Northwick ; he is a native of Warrington,
about 28 years of age, 5 feet 10i inches high, sandy
whiskers,-light made, and has a habit of
arms (very much) when walking. Wright is well known
by Mr. M•Gill, having been formerly" the same busi-
ness as a Scotch traveller ;

unfortunate French sailors, Captain Isau Thomaso, Noel
Thomaso, and Jean Marie Philippe, seamen of the chasse
mareeEole, which was wrecked at the back of the East
Pier-head in the gale on Wednesday last, were interred
with all the solemn rites of the Catholic Church, in the
cemetery of St. Augustine's Church, now erecting on the
West Cliff. The procession consisted of the two sur-
viving crew of the ill-fated vessel, and a great number

attended on this mournful and interesting occasion. It
is worthy of remark that this is the first funeral which
has been celebrated according to the Catholic ritual in
Ramsgate since the Reformation. The church of St.
Augustine, when completed, will be a source of great
spiritual benefit to the crews of the numerous foreign
vessels frequenting this port, who are at present desti-
tute of any suitable place of worship.
TRINITY COLLEGE, PERTII.—bir John Gladstone,
of Fasque, has contributed to this institution the sum of
2,0001. in addition to his former large subscriptions. His
Grace the Duke of Buccleuch has also augmented his
former contribution by an additional 1,000/.
