At the Edinburgh Court of Is'-A, X 0
„
v. the North British Railway Cc ....aThek-,
case arose out of an accident which occurrei the night'
express train from Edinburgh to London, earlyon the morn-
ing of the 29th April, 1866. The pursuer was a pnssenger by
that train, being on his way to give evidence before a com-
mittee of the House of Commons, and when the train was
- bout five miles south from Berwick-on-Tweed it came into
collision with a mineral waggon which had run off a siding
at Scremerston Lime Works. The pursuer was injured
in the right foot by the collision ; and he brought an
action against the North British Railway to recover
damages for the injuries he had sustained. The issue
which was sent to the jury was as follows :—" Whether
the pursuer, while travelling as a passenger in a train of
the defenders,' on or about the 2Nli of April, 18W,
between Edinburgh and London, was injured in his p2r3fla
in consermnee of a collision at a part of the line about five
miles soft from Berwick-on-Tweed, through the fault of
the defe,,Zers, or other for whom they aro responsible, to
the loss, injury, an I damage of the pursuer." Damages
were laid at £5,000. The defence was that the injuries
sustained by the pursuer were not so serious as represented,
and that the railway company could not be held responsible
for the accident, because the servants of the company hadl.
used all necessary and proper precautions for- the protec-
tion
of the traffic, and the accident must have been the
result of malicious interference with the mineral truck on
the siding. Professor Syme said that in his opinion the,
pursuer's foot was quite well ; and it was shewn that ...11
proper precaution had been taken by the company's.
servants, but the jury found for the pursuer, dianages
£1,250.

SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
M Ri HOWARD,
leet-stre
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga-
tures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they
will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support
and preserve teeth that arc loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren-
derod sound and useful in mastication..

The Price of Gold.

The course of exchange at New York on London for
at 60 days' sight is about 1109 per cent. At this rate ther!
is no profit on the importatioa.ot gold from the Unite"
States.
Toe quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling:
c)inparing these rates with the English Mint price of
Z 3 Witt. per ounce for standard gold, it appears tha
gold is about 1-;oth per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

EALING STEEPLECHASES—THURSDAY.
This Boxing-day attraction to the holiday-making Cock-
neys proved nearly as great a success as on previous an-
niversaries, and the fact of its at all falling short of them
was owing to the dense fog which prevailed preventing
many who no doubt would have availed themselves of so
healthy and pleasurable an outing by the supposition that
the races would not take place. The committee, however,
overcoming every difficulty, were determined to carry out
their contract, and indeed had they done otherwise it
would have seriously affected their own and kindred in-
terests. Accordingly racing commenced soon after one
o'clock. At no period of the afternoon was it possible to
distinguish the horses at a distance of fifty yards from the
Stand, and when the fourth race was being run the com-
petitors could not be seen until close upon the judge's
box. It then became imperative to postpone the re-
maining race of the day—the Middlesex Handicap—
which will be run to-morrow. An earlier hour will be
fixed for commencement, so that the programme may be
got through. In the forenoon the stewards heard the
objectioa against The Cripple, who came in first for the
Hunt Steeplechase at St. Alban's on Thursday last and
was objected to by the owner of the second on the ground
of improper nomination, no age being specified in the
entry. They bad the original entry produced, and the
age of The Cripple being omitted they awarded the
stakes to Patience. Particulars of the day's racing are ap
pended.

came to grief at the first fence, and took no further part in
the race. The others ran in at intervals of ten lengths

came down, and narrowly escaped a collision with Caustic.

SATISFACTORY LETTER.

6, Wood-street, Ifillbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867
SlR,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis, which
left at times a tickling in the Throat, with other unpleasant feel-
ings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF ANISEED; I did so,
and have found very great relief; it is most comforting in allay-
ing the irritation, and giving strength to the voice.
You ara at liberty to make use of this as you think proper,
and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as I have
done. With many thanks from your oloodient servant,
SAMUEL DEAR,
Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey.

CNDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
-Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure Paraffin° ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell ; their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and 'BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their " CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dripping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr• ps
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having ".Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be
used.
" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

PRINCE OF WALES'S.

Mr. Dion Boucicault's five-act comedy of " I-Tow
She Loves Him," with its whimEical situations and
brilliant dialogue, served last evening to well enter-
tain a holiday audience. Some judicious modifica-
tions have increased the effect of the piece, and the
excellent acting of Miss Marie Wilton, Mss Lydia
Foote, Mrs. Leigh Murray, Mr. Hare, and Mr.
Montague, was fully appreciated by the auditory.
One of the most prominent characters in the
comedy is unquestionably the aristocratic
Beecher Sprawley, so admirably acted by
Mr. Bancroft, that no amount of praise which
could be bestowed on the assumption would
exceed the commendation justly its due. A faithful
study from life, kept carefully free from exaggera-
tion, and preserving all the characteristics of a man
of good family, though the younger son of the Earl
is not remarkable for nobility of conduct, the part
so strongly individualised by Mr. Bancroft will be
always remembered to the advantage of the actor.
Mr. Buckstone's merry comedietta of " A Dead
Shot," with Mr. George Honey as Hector Timid,
and Miss L. Foote as Louisa Lovetrick, commenced
the evening, and Mr. Maddison Morton's untiring
farce of " Box and Cox," with Mr. George Henry
and Mr. Hare as the joint occupiers of the same
apartment, brought the performances to a brisk
conclusion.

PIZENEDITATION OF MURDER.

An attempt at murder, most extraordinary in every
aspect, was made at an old rain called Red Abbey, near
Cork, on Monday night. The abbey and adjoining pro-
perty is in the care of an old man named Butler, who
lives at the ruin. A young woman named :Hannah
Hurley, a domestic " help," and William Butler, his
grandson, 16 years of age, resided with the old man. The
girl was in the habit for some time past of giving a few
pence per week to the grandson to put in the bank. She
had handed him 9s. in all, and recently she discovered that
he had kept 2s. of the amount. Her accusations and
threats of disclosure seem ,o have determined him to get
rid of her by murder, and he' went about his work in a
singularly determined and premeditated manner. He
had access to the key of the ruin, and up in a part where
time has formed a sort of soil he dug a grave about six
feet in length by one foot in depth and width. He then
waited for an opportunity to entrap the girl, and on her
continuing to accuse him he on Monday morning announced
to her that he had the money buried in the abbey, and if
she ascended with him she could get it. She assented to
this, and about five o'clock they entered the building,
Butler carrying a candle to show the way. On arriving
at the place he led her over to the spot whet e the grave
was dug, and at his bidding she went into it to take up, as
he said, the box that was there containing her money.
Scarcely had her feet touched the bottom of the grave than
he dealt her a blow with a small hatchet he had had con-
cealed about him. It took effect on the right shoulder,
and he followed it up by two or three cuts at her head.
The candle went out on the instant, and the girl screamed
for mercy, at the same time succeeding in getting a hold of
the hatchet. He struggled violently to wrest it from her.
but she succeeded in retaining hold of it, still imploring
him to spare her life, and he promised to do so if she
would never tell what had occurred. She made the
promise, and under these conditions they left the spot,
groping their way to the staircase. As she descended blood
came in streams from her wounds, and she was in momen-
tary dread that he would throw her head foremost down.
However, he attempted no further violence, and when
they got down she ran into a house covered with gore, and
was at once carried off to the South Infirmary, where her
wounds were dressed. Butler made off, and up to a late
hour on Tuesday night was not heard of. The girl is
wounded on the back of the neck and shoulders, and had
the hatchet not been an old blunt one she would now he a
corpse and buried in the grave prepared for her. She is
rapidly improving.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

At this theatre—lately under the lesseeship of
Messrs. Frampton and Fenton, and now under that
of Mr. J. Arnold Cave, who has had it painted
externally, and has improved it in its internal
decorations and arrangements, imparting to
it a new and attractive appearance—a
highly amusing pantomime was last night
produced for the entertainment of the frequenters
and patrons of the house, whose name i 3 " legion."
The pantomime is entitled " Charles the Second and
Pretty Nell Gwynne ; or, harlequin Oliver Crom-
well and the Little Fairies of the Enchanted Oak,"
from the pen of Mr. Robert Soutar, the popular
comedian.

The house was crowded in all parts, the utmost
order prevailed ; and the pantomime, in the pro-
duction of which at considerable cost Mr. Cave has
been engaged some months, was throughout well
received, and is likely to have a long and compensa-
tory run.
The entertainments cpncluded with the admired
romantic drama of " The Wandering Boys."

of AEtTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga-
tures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they
will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support
and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren-
dered sound and useful in mastication. •

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

ITALY.

FLORENCE, Dec. 2G, 11.10 p.m.

The Ministerial crisis continues. It is stated that
Signor Mafi has finally declined to remain in the
Ministry. Signor Cordova is designated as the new
Minister of Finance.

The Italian Government hasreceived no confirma-
tion of the statement made in Paris, that the Ponti-
fical Government opposed the payment of th© next
coupon of the Italian Rente. In any case this
would not prevent the payment, as Messrs. Roths-
child are provided with the necessary funds.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Dec. 27.

The Wiener Zeitung of to-day publishes two im-
perial rescripts, one addressed to Baron von Beust,
the other to Count Andrassy. The Emperor, in his
letter to Baron Beast, relieves him from further
duties as President of the Council of Ministers for
the countries represented in the Reichsrath.
The Emperor adds that he completely shares the
satisfaction with which Baron TOII Beust may re-
gard the period during which, by self-sacrificing ac-
tivity, he has succeeded in achieving the settlement
of a task the difficulties of which the Emperor is
able fully to appreciate. His Majesty, in recog-
nising the successful endeavourkof Baron von Beust,
welcomes what has been effected with great satisfac-
tion and directs him to take the requisite prelimi-
nary steps for the establishment of the Ministries of
Foreign Affairs, of War, and of Finance for the
whole Empire in accordance with the Constitution.
At the same time the Imperial rescript appoints Baron
Becke as Minister of Finance, and orders Baron von
Beust and Field-Marshal Lieutenant Baron von
John to continue to discharge, as Ministers for the
whole Empire, the duties of those offices they have
hitherto filled.

The Imperial rescript to Count Andrassy ac-
quaints him with the above-mentioned arrangements,
and declares to him that he has earned the thanks of
the Emperor for his successful co-operation in
bringing about the compromise between Hungary
and Austria, and for the powerful support which he
has contributed towards the achievement of a diffi-
cult and important task.
