Colonel Charlier of the French army, who com-
manded the 90th Regiment of the line at the battle of Ma-
genta, having lane* in that action, had been buried on the
field of battle without any other distinctive sign but that of
a small cross. The administrative deputation of Butfalora,
close by Magenta, have now caused the body to bo exhumed
and re-interred in their churchyard with great solemnity.
ACCIDENT IN THE HUNTING FIELD.—Mr. Smith,
a surgeon of Wolverhampton, was hunting on Saturday
with the Albrighton houdds, when his horse swerved as he
put the animal at a gate, and both horse and rider came

clown. Mr. Smith was thrown against the post with such
force that his ribs were fractured. Ifo left the field and
rode back to Beckbury, where he remained until a convey-
ance could be procured to bring him to Wolverhampton.-

Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co. have received in-
telligence of the successful laying of the telegraph between
the Channel Islands and France, making a third line of
telegraphic communication to that country,
- -

It is stated that the delays complained of for
some months past in the transmission of messages between
Malta and London have lately been remedied, and that
during the last few days especially the communication has
been rapid.

It appears by statements published yesterday
from St. Poiersburg that of the £12,000,000 Russian Loan,
introduced last autumn, only £5,490,000 was placed in the
continental and Lendon markets.

The Government of the colony of Victoria have
given notice, through the London committee of the six asso-
ciated Australian banks, contractors for the Victoria Rail-
way loan, that the sum required during the present year
will again be £3,000,000, and that the tenders for the whole
will be received in April next. It is understood, however,
that a portion is intended to discharge the claims of the
persons interested in the Geelong and Melbourne Railway,
amounting to about £700,000, and chiefly held in this coun-
try, while the greater part of the remainder will be dis-
bursed here for railway materials.

CRINOLINE HOOKED.—A ludicrous scene was
witnessed at the Dearhani station of the Maryport and Car-
lisle Railway on Sunday. A brisk dalisel got into the
morning train at the Dalston station. She had the usual
circular appendage to her dress, and it required only a
slight pressure to enable her to pass through the narrow
doorway. Far different, however, was the young lady's
attempt at egress. The crinoline was unluckily not of the
most approved pattern. It could not be contracted and
expanded at pleasure ; but when it was pressed at the sides
it jutted out both behind and before. When, therefore,
the blooming girl essayed to leave the carriage at Dear-
ham, the inflated machine was hooked by a projection of
the carriage, and its unfortunate wearer was fairly sus-
pended in mid-air. There she remained, to the gaze of
all beholders, till the guard ran to the rescue, and helped
the now blushing damsel from her awkward position. She
was quick to escape from the scene of her misery.—Ca7liele
Examiner.

A Government case of some importance came on
for hearing before the magistrates at Devonport on Tuesday.
Mr. W. Eastlake, solicitor, who appeared on behalf of the
Admiralty, stated that the prisoner, John Lawrence, was a
mason employed in the dockyard, and was charged with
attempting to commit a felony, having been detected in
making preparations and arranging a scheme for robbing the
pay-office in the dockyard. The case was a peculiar one,
and deserved the careful consideration of the magistrates,
as it closely approximated to a very serious crime. Mr.
Eastlake then stated that no possible doubt could exist of
the moral guilt of the prisoner, but that it would be for them
to decide whether his legal guilt was sufficiently established
to warrant his committal for the offence with which
he was charged. Whatever might be their decision the
bench would approve the course adopted by the Admiral
Superintendent, who had conceived it to be a higher moral
duty to deter crime than to permit an attempt to arrive at
maturity and then to punish it. The evidence of Wm. Isles
and John Martin, labourers and attendants on the pay-
office, and of Mr. henry Brady, the accountant, proved
that on the 30th of December prisoner first asked Isles to
come to his " cabin" in the yard, when ho said, " What I
want to know is if you'll mix up with a bit of roguery. I
want to get the impression of the keys, especially the key
of the safe, for £2,000 or £3,000 is easily taken away." He
then took a piece of soap and showed how the impression
was to be taken four different ways, and said it must be
done in gotta percha, and that if no locks were picked the
blame would fall on the clerks. Isles declined, but on the
following Tuesday, when walking in the verandah of the
pay-office, prisoner showed him a piece of guttapercha, and
Isles, then informed Mr. Morris, second-class clerk, of all
that passed. On Wednesday prisoner askedhini to leave the
keys down, and having received permission, ho did so. There
are three keys on one ring, viz., ono each for the front door,
back door, and pay office. They are usually taken to the ac-
countant's office every evening at 5, and brought therefrom
in the morning at half-past 7. During the day the key of the
pay-office was missing. John Martin said that on the morning
of the sth inst. he saw prisoner on his haads and knees
under the stairs. When questioned he said he was looking
for a piece of carpet. Prisoner then inquired if any one
slept in the pay-office, and if the safe-room was all iron.
Martin watched prisoner. and saw him replace the missing
key. The evidence not being sufficient to establish legal
guilt the prisoner was discharged. He has been many
years in the Dockyard, from which he is now dismissed.
Occasionally there is as much as £30,000 in the pay-office
of the Dovonport Dockyard.
I'RICE OF GOLD.—The quotatiom of gold at Path
is about per milled, and the short exchange on London is
25.10 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the
English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent. dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short, exchange on
London is 13.3/ per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per
cent. dearer in hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is
about 109 a # per cent., which, when compared with the Mint
proportions between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is slightly against England ; and, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte-
rest, the present rate leaves no profit on the importation
of gold from the United States.
