agents for Messrs. Danville and Co., the celebrated Irish
whisky-house, have obtained a conviction against Robert

SCHOOL EXCURSION AND TREAT.—On Tuesday
about 600 of the children and friends of the Northern
Schools of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, accompanied by their
clergy and teachers, marched from the schools in Castle-
street, Long-acre, to Victoria Station, where a train
was in attendance to convey them to Cater-
ham Junction; and thence the procession wended
its way through fields and lanes to those charming
Surrey hills, called Purley Downs. A variety of amuse-
ments, and a substantial dinner and tea, were provided by
the liberality of the parishioners and other friends, and
in the evening fire balloons and a display of fireworks
terminated the day's enjoyments. The children returned
to their homes, grateful to their benefactors who had
enabled them to spend a very happy day.

Yesterday a new Catholic church was opened at
at Barking, in Essex, by Archbishop Manning. The

priate, is from the design of Mr. Welby Pugin.
The Daily News gives a deplorable account of a
new bug introduced into France by the troops which re-

notice, and to the startled imagination of the French it
appears with a tail an inch long.

The trial of Yerger before the military commis-
sion at Jackson, Mississippi, was concluded on Thursday,
July 22, but the verdict had not been given. After the
trial was concluded Yerger was brought before Judge Hill,
of the United States Circuit Court, on a writ of habeas
corpus. Judge William Yerger, on behalf of the prisoner,
submitted the plea, to which Judge-Advocate Col. Thos.
F. Barr submitted the return, and Yerger was remanded
to military custody, the points involved having heretofore
been passed upon by Judge Hill with the same result.
The case will next be argued in the Supreme Court.

The Cincinnati Tina's says, Secretary Fish " will
find it as difficult to preserve a strict neutrality in the
Cuban business as he would to balance a live eel on the
top of his venerable proboscis."
