The First Volume of the new and improved
edition of Miss Strickland's " LIVES or THE QUEENS"
(size of Macaulay's History) has just appeared, containing
14 Lives, and illustrated with 15 Portraits, including that
of the author. " The republication of The Lives of the
Queens of England,'in the more compact and accessible
shape announced in the present 8 volume edition, is a cir-
cumstance to be hailed with no common expression of satis-
faction. A 3 the
title imports, this edition, besides being
more condensed in point of space, is still more abundant in
point of matter than the 12 volume edition; it is also, as a
matter of course, cheaper—a fact which must still further
widen its circle of readers and admirers."—Observer.
THE IRISH EXILES.—E,SCAPH M'M
, ANUS.—
The • Freeman's Journal of 'Tuesday morning has a letter
from John Mitchel—the first published from the pen of that
remarkable personage, since his transportation for the
treasonous doings of 48. From this letter we learn that
Algilaaus has effected his escape from Van Diemeree Land.

The veterinary surgeon of the society (Mr. Simonds)
is henceforth to take an active share in the business of
the show-yard, and it is a matter of great public im-
portance that his attention should be dirslated to this
subject. If he is qualified to pronounce a safe opinion
upon any point, he can surely say whether an animal
has beau subjected to an excessive and improper system
of feeding, and as he 'communioates,not with the juttges,
but the. stewards. his views will only halta(inc..=, aul not

`Understand, commenced his duties in counexioa with
the awards, moat vigorously pointing out say physical
or constitutional defects observed by him, and endeavour-
ing to guard against the evils which arise from breeding
in and in. Perhaps by his assistance and by other
means some definite standards of merit in judging stock
may at last b© obtained. This want is at prest-n, much
felt, and experiencEd persons going round the 3 and at
Windsor cannot fail to observe the inequality and appa-
rent capriciousneps of the rules under which many of the
prizes have been determined.

-
Yesterday the show was visited by upward, of 3,000
persun9, which at ss. esch is regarded as a great suc-
cess. St. Swithin contributed a few showers in the even-
ing. To-day the Great Pavilion dinner takrs place, and
about 2,000 guests aro expected to be present. His
Royal Highness Prince Albert will be there, and will
take part in the proceedings, which are in coissequence
expected to be unusually interesting. In the meantime
the town of Windsor is preparing itself to share in the
agricultural festivities of the day, and the main street,
and even the Castle itself, is gaily decorated with flags in
honour of the occasion.

DARING LEAP AND ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR
FROM A RAILWAY' TRAIN.
A very powerful man, named George Fisher, and who
was until recently a member of the Cardiff police force,
from which he was discharged for misconduct, made his
escape on Monday from a carriage on the Birmingham
end Bristol Railway, by leaping from it while the train
was in motion, and where he was in the custody of an
officer upon a charge, or rather several charges of
burglary. It having been discovered that Fisher was
copuected with some desperate characters, by whom
several burglaries have been committed, and in the per-
petration of which he was ascertained to have taken a
most active part, warrants were granted for his apprehen-
sion. Having, however, gained some scent of what was
going on, before the warrants could be executed, he
absconded from Cardiff. He remained at large until the
close of last week, when Mr. Superintendent Stockdale, of
the Cardiff police force, succeeded in apprehending him at
Holyhead, and, having handcuffed him, conveyed him
by rail, via Liverpool and Birmingham, on the routs to
Cardiff. Between Birmingham and Bristol the prisoner
complained of the handcuffs having, Train their tightness
and the length of time which they had been on, cut the
skin of his wrist. The police•superintendent, after as-
certaining that the door of the carriage was locked, took
the handcuff off one wrist. When the train arrived
within about a mile from Bristol, at the junction of the
Gloucester and Bristol and Great Western lines, it
was, as usual, stopped for the purpose of the tickets being
collected. The railway guard having collected tho two
tickets from the policeman, was desired by him to again
lock the door of the carriage; which, however, it appears
that he neglected to do; and upon the train being again
set in motion the prisoner suddenly opened the door and
leaped out upon the line. The police-superintendent,
instantly
jumped at the imminent risk of his life,
jumped out after him, but falling on the rail he severely
bruited his shoulder, and was unable to pursue Fisher,
who having run through the engine'-house of tho Great
Western works, succeeded in climbing the bank, and es-
caping into the wood at the No. 1, or Brislington tun-
nel. 'rho police of Bristol, &c., were immediately sent
in search, but without success. The prisoner was last
seen lying in a dry ditch, as if exhausted (with the hand-
cuff on), between Bristol and Bath.

A MAN BOILED TO DEATH IN A VAPOUR BATH.
—On the 3d ult. M. Labadie, a wholesale wine-dealer of
Bercy, went to the Bains de la Samaritaine, on the river
at the foot of the Pont-Neuf, to take a vapour bath, as
prescribed by his physician. It was the first bath of
that kind he had aver taken, and the man charged with
the preparation of it neglected to attend him. The un-
fortunate man opened the valve by which the vapour en-
tered, but was unable to close it. The consequence was
that the steam rushed in with extraordinary violence, and
in a short time he was completely suffocated. When
touched the skin came off, and he was, according to the ex-
pression of a witness, " quite boiled." His widow brought
a complaint before the Tribunal of Correctional Police
against the waiter of the baths, a man named Portimer
and as it clearly appeared that the accident had been
caused by his gross negligence, he was condemned to eight
days' imprisonmenfland to the payment of 10,000 f. as damages.
His employer, M. Javal, was declared civilly responsible for
the payment.
CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT MANCHESTER.—
At the Manchester Borough Court, yesterday, two men,
named William Crank and Thomas Price; and a boy named
Moore, were charged with causing the death of an old man
named William Grounds. On Saturday evening, a little be-
fore midnight, deceased went out of a cellar where he lived,
in Cumberland-street, in a state of intoxication, upon which
the prisoner Crank, who is his step-son, commenced singing
and teazing him. Deceased immediately flew into a violent
passion, and exclaiming "I'll soon make you give over
singing," rushed upon his step-son, and they both tell down
together, the old man uppermost. A crowd was speedily as-
sembleffto witness the affray, and Crank called Price to help
him. Price, and the other man, kicked deceased several
times on the head and back. The boy Moore was seen by
several persons attempting to kick the old man on the head,
but his foot missing, he only kicked him on his shoulder as
be lay on the ground. Deceased groaned heavily, but did
not move, and was carried into the cellar by his wife and
some of the bystanders. He died in a few minutes, before
medical assistance could be procured,
The magistrate com-
mitted the two men for trial, and remanded the boy for fur-
ther consideration.
OSTEND, JULY 13.—Lord Henley and suite arrived
here yesterday by the General Steam Navigation Company's
new steam-811iP Panther, from Loudon.

Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
In the evening of the 9th it became rumoured that
a Socialist plot was to break out in the course of the
night, and to commence by the assassinations of the
authorities. The Ministers, on being informed of
this, immediately assembled at the Ministry of the
Interior, and the civil and military authorities waited
on them. The troops were ordered to keep them-
selves in readiness to act, and the officers who had
lodgings in the town entered the barracks to be in
readiness. Sentinels were placed around the Puerta
del Sol; nevertheless the night passed off with per-
fect calm. In the Chamber of Deputies the next day
General ORTEGA questioned the Ministry on the sub-
ject. The President of the Council, BRAVO Mu-
RILLO, declared, without entering into explanations,
that tranquillity was perfect, but that the Govern-
ment, in order to preserve it, had thought right to
adopt precautions. 'This reply was considered evasive,
and did not satisfy the Chamber.
Toe journals contain an account of a terrible fire
—it broke out in a wood-yard, near the CAN de
Cristo, and sir with extraordinary rapiiity
.flowes in the Calle de Amaniel, and to the ilbsf.ltal
of the IncurablE s. it raged for twenty-five hours,
and destroyed the hospital and twenty-one houses.
Two sisters of charity, ta o sick women, and two
labourers lost their lives; a great number of other
persons were injured, and amongst them were eight
fireman. The QUEEN, on hearing of the disaster,
sent her private secretary to make inquiries. On
receiving the report, her MAJESTY gave orders that
abundant pecuniary relief should be distributed to
the sufferers. The secretary observed that the
number of victims was so great that perhaps all the
money in the Royal Treasury would not suffice.
Thereupon the QUEEN declared that it the Treasury
did not possess sufficient resources, she would sell her
jewels.
