(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

DEPARTURE OF THE ROYAL FAMILY FROM THE ISLE
OF WlGHT.—Monday is now fixed on for the departure of
the junior branches of the Royal Family from Osborne.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—A great deal of excitement was
created on Sunday by a report that Harry Clarke, one of
the boatmen plying from the Parade, had killed his wife.
The woman had been ill a long time, and was very much
addicted to drinking. The husband was often a good deal
the worse for liquor, and they were constantly quarrelling
and fighting to the great annoyance of their neighbours.
Clarke had repeatedly knocked his wife down, and on its
being stated that the body was covered with bruises an in-
quest was held, on Monday evening, and a most wretched
sight it was to the jurors--the arms, &c., being covered
with wounds and bruises. Witnesses were examined as to
the ill-treatment the woman was subject to, and to her con-
tinually screaming and complaining of being beaten. After
an investigation of three hours, the jury returned a verdict
of " nvinslaughter " against the husband, and Clarke was
committed on the coroner's warrant to take his trial at the
next assizes at Winchester.

The Earl of Aberdeen, accompanied by Colonel
the Hon. Alexander and Mrs. Gordon, and the Hon. Arthur
Gordon, has arrived at Argyll House, from Haddo House,

Edith Somerset have arrived in town from visiting 1, is-
count and Lady Blanche D upplin, at Dupplin Castle, Perth-

shire.

party last week at Woburn Abbey, has left Woburn for

The Marchioness (Dowager) of Lothian and Lady
Alice Kerr have arrived at Knowsley Park on a visit to
the Earl and Countess of Derby, and to be present at the
wedding of Lady Emma Stanley and Colonel the Hon. W.
P. M. C. Talbot.

The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury and the
Ladies Gertrude and Adelaide Talbot, arrived on Tuesday
at Knowsley Park, on a visit to the Ear? and Countess of
Derby, from Ingestre Hall.

Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston have re-
turned to Broadlands, near Romsey, from visiting the Earl

The Duke of Devonshire and Lady Louisa Caven-
dish have arrived at llardwieke Hall, near Chesterfield,
from Holkar Hail, Lancashire. The noble duke will shortly
receive a select circle of visitors.

" M. Paul Aumont," says the Sport, " has re-
fused an offer of 90,000 f. for his filly Mon. Etoile. This
is the highest sum ever offered for a French horse. The
late M. Aumont sold Monarque, Madlle. do Chantilly,
Zouave, and 27 other horses for only 150,000 f."
THE NEAPOLITAN PRISONERS,—A communica-
tion from Naples of the 3d, in the Debats, says :—" In the
afternoon of the Ist, General Sirtori telegraphed to the
Minister of War that 2,000 prisoners were about to arrive
at Naples, and he begged that the National Guard might
be called out to receive them. I saw these unfortunate men
pass between two lines of blue coats and red shirts. Some
vagabonds attempted to massacre the Bavarians who were
ecognised by their grey coats, and the National Guard had
to use the bayonet to defend them. Yet the people who
wanted to assail the prisoners would not have gone to
CAma to attack them, and some months back took them
by the hand ; the spectacle was a disgusting one. And
'this is what half a century of tyranny has made of this
people! The wealthy citizens are no better. The evening
before last a requisition for vehicles to convey the wounded
was made, but almost every one closed his stable and his
carriage shed, or pestered the foreign consuls of his ac-
quaintance to receive his horses and vehicles in their rest.
deuces in order that they might be inviolable. Yesterhy
beds were demanded for the hospitals, which the in
taking to flight, had left empty, but the Neapoli.Lans se-
creted their furniture, and recourse had to be made to the
keepers of public houses, who displayed great, reluctance to
give up their effects."

BANKRUPTCIES THIS YEAR.—It appears that the
bankruptcy rats this year is slightly above the usual ave-
rage, although the excess has principally occurred in the
metropolitan district. The total number of bankruptcies
gazetted in the nine months ending Sept. 30, was 804, being
at the rate of 1,152 per annum, while the average for the
last 10 years has been 1,090. The bankruptcies in the Li-
verpool district have been 49 ; in the Manchester, 40 ; in
the Birmingham, 137 ; in the Leeds, 81 ; in the Bristol, 70;
in the Exeter, 26 ; and in the Newcastle, 26. The bank-
ruptcy rate in•the provincial districts just enumerated has
been 585 as compared with 565 in the corresponding ten
years ; in the London district 567, as compared with 525 in
the previous decade.

STEAM CARRIAGES ON COMMON ROADS.—The
Council of -Wick met on Tuesday for the purpose of pre-
senting the honorary burgess ticket to the Earl of Caithness.
In acknowledging the honour the noble earl referred to the
subject of the propelling of steam carriages on common
roads. His lordship entered on an interesting history of
this invention, disclaiming for himself all right to the merit
of inventing it, though admitting he had been the first to
employ the steam carriage to anything like the extent be
had clime. His lordship detailed the construction of the
engine, and referred to certain improvements which he had
himself introduced, adding to the safety and simplicity of
travelling, and narrating a variety of amusing and interest-
ing incidents in connection with his own experience in thus
travelling. Three cheers having been given for the Countess
of Caithness, her ladyship said, " This is one of the proudest
and happiest days of my life, to see my husband made a
burgess of W ick, and to think that he, a Caithness man, has
taught the people in the south that it is possible to cross the
Ord in a steam carriage, which many of them regarded as
an impossibility. (Lou cheers.) I am sure that as long as
Caithness can boast of a steam carriage propelled on its
common roads, it has no cause to be ashamed, and may claim
to itself what the Americans would style the character of a
go ahead country."
PRIZE SHOOTING ON A LARGE SCALE AT
HASTINGS.—The beautiful little valley near Hastings,
known as Ecclesbourne Glen, was oh Monday the scene of a
rifle match, or rather a series of rifle matches, on a large
scale. The contest was chiefly among the members of the
Cinque Ports Corps, but others joined in the competition for
some of the prizes. The first prize was a Lancaster rifle,
value 10 guineas, which was won by Mr. Webb, who scored
15 points in 10 shots, at 200 and 300 yards. Lieut. Crake,
and Messrs. Penhall and 'Eldred gained 14 points each ; and
in shooting'off for the tie for the second prize (a silver
medal) and the third prize (a bronze medal) Mr. Hildred
won the second, and Mr. Fenhall the third prize. A contest
then took place between 12 members of the Ist Company of
Cinque Port Rifles (Hastings) and 12 members of the 3d
Company (Rye), ranges 200 and 100 yards, 10 shots at each
distance, when the Hastings Company proved victorious,
making 119 points to the ltye Company's 115. A prize cup
was also shot for, value 17 guineas, and a second prize of
five guineas, which, after a close contest of four shots at
300 and °lie at 400 yards, resulted in Mr. Webb winning
the cup, and Mr. C. Brittenden the guineas.
AN ATROCIOUS CHILD MURDER.—On Sunday
last a rumour went through the village of Stokeinteiomhead,
near Newton Abbot, that a servant girl named Elizabeth
Hooper, aged about 19 years, in the employ of Mr. William
Bond, had committed a most revolting and atr9cious child
murder. On inquiry, it appeared that cn Sunday forenoon
the young woman, during the absence of her master and mis-
tress at curch, gave birth to a child, and immediately cut
its head off and attempted to burn it in the grate. The
family returned from church somewhat earlier than ex-
pected, and Mr. Bond, on entering the house, perceived a
very disagreeable odour, and, on approaching the grate, he
saw, with horror, the head of a newly-born child on the fire.
He immediately raised an alarm, and the police were soon
on the spot, searching for the remainder of the infant, which
they soon succeeded in discovering, wrapped up in a portion
of the mother's clothing. The young woman was imme-
diately taken into custody. She had been in Mr. Bond's
service for several months. On Monday an inquest was
held on the body, and adjourned in order to await the re-
sult of a post mortem examination.

THE Loss OF NORTH COUNTRY SHIPS—SHIELDS,
Tuesday Night.—The distressiag particulars from Lloyd's,
which appeared in The Sun, of the fearful loss of ship-
ping in the Baltic, and the narrow sea leading thence
from the North Sea, confirm the anxiety expressed with
regard to north country vessels in a letter sent from here on
Saturday night. The brigs Carlisle aud Tiberias men-
tioned in the report published in The Sun, belonged to
South Shields. They have perished with the whole of
their crews. Mr. Ridley, the master of the Tiberias, had
his son with him also, and the loss of north country seamen
in those two vessels alone will reach, officers, men, and
lads, at least to 20 souls. The Hendon, a Sunderland ship,
was also lost on her passage from Cronstadt for London.
The master and mate and four of the hands suffered with
her. The following vessels which are wrecked in the Baltic,
or near to the Elbe, are all insured in Tyne Clubs :—The
Carlisle, the Tiberias, the Marsden, the St. Lawrence, the
Alnwick Packet, and the Feliza, belonging to Shields ; the
Jana sons, belonging to Wallsend, and the Water Kelpie,
belonging to The vessels with cargoes would be
worth considerably more than £2,000 each. From infer-
mation brought in by vessels to the Tyne, there is reason
to fear that several small craft have perished in the neigh-
bourhood of the Fern Islands and north of Holy Island
during the gale of Wednesday, as a good deal of wreck has
been observed floating about.
