CARDINAL WISEMAN.—It is Stat (slys a Daily
News correspondent) that the Cardinal Archbishop of West-
minster has received notice that a bill of indictment for a
misdemeanour will be presented forthwith.
CARDINAL W ISEMAN.—The Newry Examiner
states that a certain Major Sterne, of Gola Castle, Ferma-
nagh, " boasts that he has written to Cardinal Wiseman, to
say that if he puts afoot in Fort Royal, he (the major) will
shoot him as dead as a gutted herrin4."
ELECTION OF A SCOTCH BISHOP.—In consequence
of the resignation of the bishopric of Moray and Ross by the
Right Rev. Dr. Low, the primus (Bishop Skinner) has is-
sued his mandate to the presbyters to meet on Fridry, the
31st instant, for the purpose of proceeding to the election of a
new bishop. It is expected that the presbytery will be di-
vided in opinion, and that there will be a severe contest be-
tween the Puseyite and Low Church parties.
COLONIAL Bismornics.—There have been some
difficulties in the way of filling up the bishopric of Nova
Scotia, rendered vacant by the death of Bishop Inglis. It
is now definitely settled that Dr. Field, the present Bishop
of Newfoundland, will succeed to the Bishopric of Nova
Scotia, and that the New Bishop of Nefoundland will be the
Rev. Ernest Hawkins, 8.D., Fellow of Exeter College, Ox-
ford, and Incumbent Minister of Curzon-street Chapel, May-
fair.
ROBBERY OF 220 SOVEREIGNS.—At the Guildhall
on Saturday Alderman Farebrother received information of
the robbery of 220 sovereigns from a young man of the name
of Winn, in the service of Messrs. Smith and Co., Pater-
noster-row. It appears that he was of a delicate constitution,
and that in the afternoon of Thursday he was passing through
Fountain-court, when he was taken ill in a fit. A crowd of
persons gathered round him, and he was attended by Mr.
Butler, a medical gentleman. On his recovery he found
that he had lost a canvass bag containing 220 sovereigns.
Information was communicated to the police, and a sum of
1001. offered for the recovery of the money.
THE HOMICIDE IN THE REGENT'S CANAL DOCK.
On Saturday an inquest was commenced before Mr. Baker,
coroner, at the Three Colts public-house, Limehouse, on the
body of Robert Appling, who was shot on board the Lively,
in the Regent's Canal Dock, on Thursday. The evidence
given at the examination of the person accused, William
East, at the Thames Police, on Friday, was repeated ; and
Mr. Rose, a surgeon, proved having made a post mortem ex-
amination of the body, and having extracted the ball from
deceased's heart, which must have causal instant death.
The inquest was then adjourned to this day (Monday).
THE LATE FIRE AT MR. CAUNT'S.—OH Saturday
the remains of the two unfortunate children of Mr, Caunt
were removed from the workhouse, where they had been
lying, and conveyed in a hearse en route for Nottingham.
Ever since the dreadful calamity Mr. Caunt had determined
that his children should be buried at his native place near
Nottingham. Mr. Caunt himself accompanied the remains
of his children, of whom he was dotingly fond, and he was
evidently very deeply grieved at his heavy loss.
FUNERAL 01' THE LATE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE,
K.G.—The funeral of this nobleman has been fixed to take
place at Clumber Park to-day.
CIVIL LIST.—The Queen has conferred a pension
of 1001. a year on the civil list upon Mrs. Liston, widow of
the eminent surgeon, whose affairs at his decease were not
found in the prosperous condition that might have been ex-
pected from his extensive practice and professional reputation.
Her Majesty has also placed upon the civil list for .01. a year
the widow of Mr. Sturgeon, of Manchester, upon whom a
pension was lately conferred, but which he lived so short a
time to enjoy.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A GIRL, AND
DiscovErty or THE BoDy.—On Saturday Mr. W. Carter,
the coroner, resumed and concluded a protracted inquiry at
the Old Jamaica Tavern, Cherry Garden-street, Bermond-
sey, on the body of Maria Rolfe, aged 15 years, who was
found dead in the river, under the following mysterious cir-
cumutances :—lt appeared that the deceased was the daughter
of respectable parents, residing at No. 2, Little Cherry Gar-
den-street, and was in the service of a Mr. Cook, of Mary-
gold-street, Bermondsey. On Saturday night week she left
her master's house to go home, but instead of doing so, called
at the house of Sophia Tozer, whom she accompanied, with
other females, to several public-houses, where she partook
of some gin and other spirits, ultimately becoming quite
intoxicated, in which state she was seen by several persons '
at a late hour on the same night. On the way home the
deceased said she would not go the road way; they all
accordingly made for the Bermondsey wall, and when they
neared Salisbury-street the other females lost the deceased,
whom they went in search of, but after a short time they
were unable to find her, or learn any tidings of the deceased.
The parents went to the police station, and although every
exertion was made to discover her whereabouts, nothing
could be heard of her until Monday, when a waterman,
named Trimbell, discovered the deceased lying in the mud
off Fountain-stairs, Bermondsey. The deceased had no
shoes on her feet; but atter being conveyed ashore she was
removed to her father's house, where her body was washed
and searched, but no marks of injury were to be seen upon
her person, although it was fully believed the unfortunate
girl had been subjected to some violence. A vast number of
witnesses were examined at considerable length, and two
females, respectively named Sophia Tozer and Julia Caroni,
positively swore they suddenly missed the deceased on their
way home in Salisbury-street. Verdict, "That the deceased
was found drowed in the river, without marks of violence on
the person ; but how she came into the water, or by what
means she met her death, they had no evidence to show."

FEROCIOUS REVENGE.—On Thursday morning, a
female, who keeps a spirit shop in the New -Vennel, made
her appearance at the police-office, and recited a doleful
complaint of an assault that had been committed on her
upon Thursday last by a carter named Christie. According
to her statement the man had been drinking in her premises ;
a dispute arose between them, angry words were inter-
changed, and as a method of deciding the question a la
Nicol Jarvie, he seized a red-hot poker which lay at hand,
and with this weapon inflicted upon her a variety of severe
injuries. The fact that such had been sustained by her was
rendered indisputable ; but whether or not her narrative of
the causes which led to them was correct could not be so
easily ascertained. The man has, however, been arrested,
rending an investigation into the circumstances.—Glasgow
Daily Mail.
The canonry in the cathedral of Bristol, held by
the late Rev. Lord W. Somerset, and which was in the gift
of the Lord Chancellor, it is stated will not be filled up.
ORDNANCE FROM BELGIUM.—Several iron guns,
cast at Liege, and also some cases of iron, have arrived at
Woolwich by a vessel from Antwerp, the same having been
furnished by the Belgian Government for her Majesty's
service, and the Lords of the Treasury have isued the neces-
sary directions to the proper authorities of the revenue for
their delivery for the purpose stated.
MODIFICATION IN THE INCOME-TAX.—We have
good reason to believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
is at this moment in a state of promising perplexity, as to
whether or nut he ought to make important modifications in
the income-tax. We say promising, because his mind is in
that condition that a little wholesome pressure from without
is all that is wanting to ensure a right decision. He has
been considering for some weeks past whether, among his
other intended fiscal changes, it would not be expedient,
putting the justice of the matter out of the question, to make
very material modifications in those provisions of the Pro-
perty-tax Bill which subject professional and other precarious
incomes to the operation of that impost; and whether he
ought not to render the tax what its name imports—a tax
on property only. "He would, and he would not," was the
state of Sir Charles Wood's mind not many days ago, though
just now he rather inclines to the allii mative of
on the pr which
-
tion. If those who are the victims of the pro
fastens on precarious incomes will only bestir themselves and
get up a smart agitation we will guarantee the success of
their exertions. Precarious incomes, in the coming session,
will be exempted from the operation of the measure.— .Adver-

tiser.
FUNERAL OF THE PORTUGUESE MINISTER.—The
funeral of this eminent and much-lamented diplomatist took
place on Saturday, when the mortal remains of his Excel-
lency were interred in the Roman Catholic cemetery, in the
King's-road, Chelsea. Although comparatively private, the
ceremony was conducted in a very solemn and imposing
manner, after the form of the Catholic ritual. The chapel
was hung with black. The service was performed by the
Rev. Mr: Soutteil. Amongst those who attended to pay
their last respects to the memory of the deceased minister
were—the Spanish Minister, the Brazilian Minister, the
Belgian Minister, and the Austrian Charge d'Affaires; the
Chevalier Fillevio, the Portuguese Chargé d'Affaires; the
Secretary of Embassy, the Portuguese Consul, and some pri-
vate friends of his Excellency. The eldest son of the de-
ceased, the Baron Moncorvo, acted as chief mourner. The
deceased Viscount leaves a wife and seven children to deplore
his loss. He was in his 63d year, and was from his 15th year
connected with diplomatic matters, and served, during his
career, in the leading Continental states. Twenty-two
years of his life was spent in England.
REPEAL OF THE SOAP DUTIES.—A full meeting of
the soap trade in Scotland was held in the Eagle Hotel,
Maxwell-street, on Wednesday last, to consider the propriety
of petitioning Government for a repeal of the soap duties.
Matthew Dick, Esq., occupied the chair. All present were of
one opinion, that the excise laws operate most injuriously on
the trade, hindering improvement, aria expose the fair trader
to smuggling both in Scotland and from Ireland. Im-
portant statements were made, proving that the export trade
was declining, atcl that the home consumption of soap was
not keeping pace with the increase of population, and cause
was shown whereby the great mass of the people would be
largely benefitted by the repeal of the soap duties. A me-
morial was agreed to unanimously to the Lords of the Tree-
, sury to pra,s upon them the importance of the abolition of
this tax on health, comfort, and commerce.— Glasgow Daily
MaiL

Two MEN FOND DROWNED IN THE RIVER.—On
Saturday inquests were held at the Torbay public-house,
Rotherbithe, on the bodies of two men found in the river.
The first on that of a young man, supposed to be an appren-
tice to one of the colliers, and which bad been in the water
about three weeks ; the other on the body of a seaman found
off the Platform on Friday, and supposed to belong to a brig
which had gone to sea. There being no person to identify
the bodies, the jury returned a verdict iu each case of "Found
Drowned."
The tallest trees are most in the power of the
winds; and ambitious men of the blasts of fortune.—Eliza
Cook's Journal.

FALKIRM DISTRICT OF 13unc.ns.—As was antici-
pated, Mr. James Baird, of Gartsherrie, has issued an ad-
dress to the electors of this district of burghs, offering him-
self as a candidate for the representation. It is extremely
cautiously worded, and more silent on the free-trade question
than was expected.
