ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Labouchere was elected without opposition,
this morning, at Brentford, M.P. for Middlesex,
vacant by the death of Mr. Hanbury.
Sheriffs Waterlosv and Lycett (the joint sheriffs
for Middlesex) presided.
Mr. Labouchere (nephew of Lord Taunton, and
son of the late Mr. J. Labouchere, the banker) was
proposed by Mr. Humphrey, the coroner for East
Middlesex, and seconded by Mr. R. Freeman.
After having been elected, Mr. Labouchere
thanked the electors and declared himself a Liberal.

It was a very tame affair. No music, no flags,
no excit.ement—nothing but a little row.

COMMENCEMENT OF TERM.

Term commenced to-day, on which occasion the
Judges breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor at his
residence, Eaton-square, and then proceeded in
procession to their respective courts at Westminster.
Their lordships arrived shortly before two o'clock,
and immediately proceeded with public business ;
but the lateness of the hour precludes any report.

ARCHBISHOP MANNING has obtained of the Pope
an Indulgence of oft° year to all who shall devoutly
recite the Gloria Patri and Ave Maria, with the in-
tention of obtaining from God the perfect conversion of
the English nation to the obedience of the faith and re-
conciliation to the chair of St. Peter.—The Observer.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.--On Saturday morning
a boy only 11 years old, named Thomas Walton, whose
parents live in Wolverhampton, died in the hospital in that
town, from the effects of shocking injuries sustained the
previous afternoon in a pit on the Sodg,ley-park colliery.
Deceased had been employed with another boy in hooking-
on at the bottom of the shaft. Just as one of the loaded
skips was being drawn up the boy is stated to have become
affrighted and to have laid hold of the hook. The shaft
was only 1G yards deep, and the boy being found on the
hook as the load ascended au effort was made to get the
engine stopped, but it was unsucc:.ssful. The lad held on
until he was nearly within grasp of the backsman. This,
however, seemed to be the limit of his endurance ; he re-
laxed his hold, and falling to the bottom three of his limbs
became frightfully shattered.

AN IMPORTATION FROM BROBDIGNAG—OR A
CRAB " VERY LIKE A WHALE !"—A correspondent
of the Atheneum (apparently no other than our old friend
Baron Munchausen) writes to announce that the Jardin
dos Phutes has lately acquired a gigantic crab, from
Japan, the fore-legs of which are no less than 4 feet 1 inch
iu length.

" RAYMOND'S HEROINE." Three vole.—" Ray-
mcnd's Heroine," says the Saturday Review, " is a story
which a reader will feel the better for having read, so
genuine is the sentiment which pervades it, so refreshing
is the acquaintance with pure and simple natures which it
offers, so pleasant are the sketches which it contains, bright
with the clear radiance of an open air life, or glowing with
the cheerful firelight of a happy home. We recommend it
to those who can appreciate the charms of a novel, through-
out which there makes itself unmistakably manifest the
impress of generous feeling and of vigorous thought. It is
also one through which there runs a vein of humour, which
at once relieves and heightens its pathos, and testifies as
strongly to the variety of its writer's powers as the more
serious passages do to their force. Of the latter no ono can
entertain a doubt who has read the singularly powerful
description of ' Walter Lee's Dream.'"
SIGNS OF SPRING.—The cuckoo has already been
heard and swallows seen at Shepton
Mr. GLADSTONE being unable to attend the in-
auguration of the Cobden statue at Manchester, which is
fixed for Easter Monday, in consequence of having to go
to Paris in connection with the Exhibition, the inaugura-
tion will be conducted by Mr. Geo. Wilson, formerly chair-
man of the Anti-Corn-Law League.
GOLD-BEARING-GRAVEL.—Mr. Shea reports the
discovery of gold-bearing gravels in the river-valleys of
Central New Brunswick, and, judging from similrr deposits
in California which have proved rich iu gold, he believes
that the New Brunswick beds may be worked at a profit.
We have to announce the death of Mr. Thomas
Vardon, for many years librarian of the House of Corn-
!s, who expired ou Friday morning at his official apart-
mil:unts at the Palace, Westminster. The late Mr. Vardon
was greatly respected. He was appointed to the post he
honourably and zealously filled nearly 40 years by the
Right Hon. Charles Manners Sutton Cthe late Viscount
Canterbury). The appointment is in the gift of the
Speaker.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The 35th annual
Passion-week performance of the " Messiah" takes place
Exeter Hall on Wednesday evening next, the 17th inst
Principal vocalists, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Sainton
Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Santley.

ABANDONMENT OF A SHIP.—PLYMOUTH, Sunday.
—The Norwegian barquo Fido, 650 tons, of Arendal, from
Belize, With a cargo of logwood, was brought into Ply-
mouth Sound this afternoon with 7ft. of water in her hold.
Sho was found abandoned in let. 43 N. long. 10.40 W. by
the American ship Plymouth Rock, who put seven men on
board to navigate her.

THE COLCHESTER MURDER.—On Friday after-
noon, Henry Page Draper, who has been committed
on the coroner's inquisition on a charge of murdering Mary
Ann Pettitt at Colchester on the 23d of February, was
brought up for examination before the local magistrates,
the mayor of the borough (Mr. P. 0. Papillon), presiding
on the bench. The prisoner was remanded till to-day
(Monday). Draper appeared calmer when brought before
the bench, but since the close of the coroner's inquiry he
has been much depressed in spirits. When the coroner's
jury came into court at one o'clock on Friday morning, the
foreman said; "We return a verdict of wilful murder —"
Draper, who was in court, ejaculated, "Oh, my God !"—the
foreman of -the jury, in continuation, added, "against
Henry Page Draper." Draper exclaimed, "Oh, my God
lam as innocent as the child in its mother's womb. As
Almighty God is in heaven, I am innocent." The un-
happy man,
who had knelt down with his head on the
floor as the jury re-entered the court, rose on hearing the
verdict, then fell down in a swoon. When he recovered
he was taken into custody by the head constable of the
borough police. When he was finally removed he said,
"I appeal to the great Judge if I ever touched the woman,
or over went to the side of the water. If I did, may
Almighty God never forgive me. Igo from hero with a
conscience fully knowing and feeling I never did the deed.
So help me God."

Brigadier-General Sir A. liorsford, K.C.8., has
roturnod to Aldershott from Ireland, whither he was des-
patched on the Fenian outbreak. A brigade will shortly
be formed for him .of the 71st Highlanders, from Edin-
burgh, and other regiments, and it is said that several
Militia corps will also be attached to it.—United Service
Gazette.
