Alderman Patrick Bulfin has been elected Lor 1
Mayor of Dublin for the ensuing year.
Mexican advices, vid Habana, state that on the
17th of October President Juarez had a paralytic seizure,
" with an a lmost entire suspension of vitality several
times in four or five hours, but that at the latest date he
was reported out of danger.
John Warburton, a manufacturer, charged with
having defrauded his late partner' Mr. Lister, of the sum
of £15,000, was called up for trial at the Leeds assizes. on
Saturday, but failed to appear. The court ordered his
recognisances to be estreated.
At a meeting held in Birmingham on Friday night,
to protest against war with Russia, Mr. Jacob Bright
stated that his brother, Mr. John Bright, was wonderfully
better, and he hoped before many months he would be
taking his usual part in public affairs..
The officials of the American eclipse expedition
have been very hospitably received in London. Their
personal manners and scientific knowledge have produced
an extemely favourable impression on thes of those
who have had the good fortune to make their acquain-
tanee.
The recor,l in the action for libel " Leonard
Edmunds v. the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone M.P.
Right Hon. Robert Lowe, M.P., and others, Lords of
her Majesty's Treasury," has been withdrawn. The cause
was to have been tried in the Court of Common Pleas,

We learn that his Grace the Archbishop of Can-
terbury continues his journey to Italy in a very satisfac-
tory manner. The party were at Innspruck on the 29th
ult. Short stages, occupying but a few hours daily, are
taken. Special carriages have been secured on every line
of railway, and the hotel keepers vie with each other in
their endeavours to promote the comfort of their distin-
guished guest.
THE LONDON SCHOOL' BOARD.—The astonishing
success of Miss Garrett was largely due not only to her
own personal exertions and those of her committee, but
also to the activity of a considerable body of lady can-
vassers. The defeat of the working men candidates for
the School Boards is mainly attributable to divisions in
their own ranks. There is now no doubt that Lord
Lawrence will be the candidate of the clerical party
for the chairmanship of the Board. The talk is that he
may be willing to accept the office without a salary, but
this is not likely. Mr. Charles Reed is also spoken of
as the 'Dissenting candidate ; but there is reason to be-
lieve that Mr. M'Culla.gh Torrens, who was first in the
field, and who is indeed the author of the School Board,
will command tho largest amount of support.—London
Correspondent of Seolsman.
WHISKERS AT THE BAR.—During the hearing
of a case on Saturday 'at Leeds Assizes, before Mr. Jus-
tice Byles, a witness could with difficulty make himself
audible. The judge, poking at the witness, evidently
observed that he had a profusion of beard and moustache.
His lordship then said, "An ornament is now generally
worn by gentlemen which' certainly much 'impedes the
voice. (His lordship here glanced found the barristers'
table, where several flowing beards were, conspicuous.),
But I would rather restrain what I was going to say. I
was not aware—(a titter among those whom his lordship
intended to reprove)—l was not aware; but I hope no
gentleman will take my observation as intended for him.
I did not mean it, I assure you. (Laughter.) But what
I said as to the hirsute ornament is the result of long
observation."
ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A PRISON WARDER.
Shortly after twelve o'clock on Saturday night, as a
man named George Burns, employed as a warder at the
House of Detention, Clerkenwell, was on his way home,
he was set upon by three men, and most brutally
the
as
saulted. One of the men struck him a heavy blow on
head, knocking him down and while be was lying on the
ground he was kicked and ;truck repeatedly by the ruffians.
When they left him Burns had just strength enough
left to crawl to the Skinners' Arms, in Stunner-street,
Clerkenwell, where assistance was given to him. lie
was subsequently taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where he now lies in a dangerous state, having, amongst
other injuries, sustained a severe stab in his scalp. The
unfortunate man says that he believes that robbery was
not intended, as his watch and money were not touched.
He imagines that his assailants had been prisoners under
his charge, and that they owed him a grudge.
