The Cunard Line.

Of the three leading Ocean Lines, thefirst place in
general estimation is awarded to the Cunard. The
Peninsular and Oriental Company possess a far
larger fleet, they traverse a greater space, and con-
nect points more widely separated. So also with
the Royal West India Mail. These three great
companies have lately been exposed to strong competi-
tion, in which France has led. Still, so powerful is the
Cunard, so high is its prestige, so widely spread the
belief in its efficiency and careful management,
that it maintains its proud position of being the
foremost of ocean steam lines. Not only have the
finest steamers afloat been constructed for this fleet,
but they have been commanded by those so carefully
trained, and by officers under a supervision so
strict, that the most tempestuous ocean route has
been navigated with such safety and regularity that
scarcely an accident has occurred, or even alarm
been excited by undue delay. That many people
owe their lives to the excellence of the system is
shown from the experience of other old-established
companies. Contrast the safety of the steamers of
this fleet with the fate of many of the vessels of the
Canadian line. Shipwreck with that company has
succeeded shipwreck with startling frequency and
appalling results. The New York Tribune, writing
with great asperity about the Canard vessels, has
only been able to make out the following list of
accidents :

"This line has for the most part avoided acci-
dents, or has had great success in keeping its mis-
haps out of the newspapers, but those may judge
between skill and luck who remember the Europa
collision ; who remember how near a certain ship

The Opening of the Swedish Diet.

At the opening of the Swedish Diet on the 19th
inst., in the remodelled form sanctioned by the new
Constitution, by King Charles in person, his Ma-
jesty delivered the following speech :
" Gentlemen and Men of Sweden,—We have just
consecrated, by common prayer for the A lmighty
grace and blessing, the new epoch into which • our
Fatherland enters in a remodified form of its ancient
freedom. The same prayer from the depth of my
heart accompanies the greeting I now offer you, who
are assembled for the first time as representatives of
the Swedish people, to undertake the important
duties which have been executed for centuries by the
Estates of the realm. In the conviction that you are
thoroughly aware of the importance of the first steps
in your career I express my confidence that in your
advance towards that social progress required by
the spirit of the age you will proceed cautiously to-
wards the object in view, with due regard for the
benefits inherited from your forefathers.

"By careful maintenance of the friendly relations
in which I have uninterruptedly continued with all
foreign Powers, and not entertaining the wish to
take part in those disputed questions which have
agitated, or threaten to agitate, other portions of
Europe, I cherish a well-founded hope that the
united kingdoms, which are surrounded upon all
gsowitnessed have fpeace.

joice in
"Thev
theeebnites wessin
recently
mean-
time revived the warning confirmed by the experi-
ence of past times, that we must rely for the security
of our independent existence, next to God, upon
ourselves and our own strength.

" Until the time when the plan for the defence of
the country, laid before the previous Diet, can be
remodelled in accordance with the opinions of the
Estates in that regard, nothing is more necessary
to strengthen our defensive system than the equip-
ment of the army with fire-arms of improved con-
struction. Convinced that the nation will be ready
to submit to the sacrifices essential for this purpose,
I have not hesitated to ask of you considerable
grants for the supply of new weapons, notwithstand-
ing that the requisite means must be obtained by
increased taxation.

" In view of the position and wants of the ad-
ministration, which will be laid before you to-day
in accordance with the Constitution, I have, in other
respects, felt it my duty to recommend the greatest
economy. In view of the present situation, I have
also thought it advisable that our railway works

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

A Paris tribunal has given an important decision
in reference to railway responsibility. M. Renouard,
a merchant of Paris, took a return ticket from Paris
to London from the Northern Railway Company.
His trunk was lost in consequence of the melancholy
accident to the Samphir some months ago. Upon
the demand of M. Renouard, the Justice of Peace
condemned the Northern Railway to pay him 500 f.
as damages, and compelled the South Eastern Eng-
lish Railway Company to guarantee the Northern
Railway Company of Paris. The Chemin de _Per du
Nord appealed against this decision, but the Tri-
bunal has confirmed the judgment of the Juge de
Pais, and condemned the Northern Railway Com-
pany to pay the expenses of the appeal.

GREECE.

ATHENS, Jan. 24, via Marseilles.

A French war vessel, accompanied by two Tur-
kish vessels, has brought to the Pincus from Candia
350 Greek volunteers, who, after enduring great
privations, solicited to be conveyed from the island.
The population of the Pirsaus manifested great ex-
asperation and would not allow the volunteers to
disembark. The police, in order to prevent dis-
turbances, therefore conveyed them to the desert
islet of St. George, near Salamine.
The Government Las brought forward in the
Chamber a bill modifying the Customs tariff, which
will have the effect of augmenting the Customs re-
venue by 1,500,000 dracamas.

The Suisse Radicals states that while a woman
was walking in the fields she gave birth to a girl.
It was thought that all was over, but soon after-
wards she gave birth to a second child. The woman
was instantly conveyed home, but the pains came
on again, and she gavp birth to two more children,
making four. The account naively adds that the
husband was stupefied, and asked his wife if she
had finished.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.

FLORENCE, Jan. 28 (Evening).

According to the census just taken in Belgium,
the population of the four large cities of that king-
dom is as follows :—Brussels, 190,000 inhabitants ;
Ghent, 126,000 ; Antwerp, 124,000 ; Liege,
105,000. The deaths in those four cities in 1866
amounted to 26,632, and the births to 17,587.
There was, therefore, an excess of 9,143 deaths
over the births.

Yesterday the weather was gloomy, rainy, and
disagreeable. To-day it has been bright, warm,
and agreeable. At nine o'clock this morning the
sun shone brilliantly like summer. Not a cloud
was to be seen.

" This is a glorious country ! It has longer rivers and
more of thorn, and they are muddier and deeper, and run
faster, and rise higher, and make more noise, and fall
lower, and do more damage than anybody els3's rivers'
It has more lakes, and they are bigger and deeper, and

Our rail-cars are bigger, and run faster, and pitch off the
track oftener, and kill more people than all other rail-care
in this and every other country. Our steamboats carry
biggerloads, aro longer and broader, burst their boilers
oftener, and send up their passengers higher, and the
captains swear harder than steamboat captains in any
other country. Our men are bigger, and longer, and
thicker; can fight harder and faster, drink more mean
whisky, chew more bad tobacco, and spit more, and spit
further than in any other country. Our ladies are richer,
prettier, dross finer, spend more money, break more hearts,
wear bigger hoops, shorter dresses, and kick up the devil
generally to a greater extent than all other ladies in all
other countries. Our children squall louder, grow faster,
got too expansive for their pantaloons, and become twenty
years old sooner by some months than any other children
of any other country on the earth." _

JUSTIFIABLE SUICIDE.

"I married a widow who had a grown-up daughter. 2,r9
father visited our house very often, fell in love with raY
step-daughter, and married her. So my father became nil
son-in-law, and my step-daughter my mother, because she
was my father's wife. Some time afterwards my wife had
a son—he was my father's brother-in-law and my uncle, for
he was the brother of my stop-mother. My father's wife--
i.e., my step-daughter, had also a son : he was, of course,
my brother, and in the mean time my grandchild, for he
was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grand-
mother, because she was my mother's mother. I was nil
wife's husband and grandchild at the same time. And as
the husband of a person's grandmother is his grandfather,

I was my own grandfather."
A few more- specimens of Yankee humour maY
be added to the foregoing, as follows :
"Kentucky must have the credit for that wonderful
curative ointment, which was so effective that when
does tail had been cut off they had only to apply the oint-
ment, whereupon a new tail instantly sprouted : and f:
youngster, with a genuine Yankee turn of thought, pick°
up the old tail, and tried the ointment upon it, whoa it
grew into a second dog, so like the other that no one could
tell which was which. There is just a smile of this kind
of humour in a story told of two Yankees on meeting ;
one said, How are you, old Ben Russell ?" Come nuvr,'
says the other, bet you I aiut any older than you 1

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.121 per £1 sterling. on
comparing these rates with the English /dint price of
►is. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold id
nearly 2 -10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London.
the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 10) per cent. At this rate there is
no profit on the importation of gold from the United States,

STEAM FIRE-ENGINES IN YORKSHIRE.--The
Bradford Observer of the '24th inst. contains an account of
a recent meeting of the town council, when it was decided
by a majority of 22 to 11, to purchase ono of Shand, Mason,
and Co.'s steam fire-engines for the use of the borough.
This matter has boon in agitation since last August, when
an interesting series of competitive trials took place in
Bradford. These trials, coupled with a subsequent full
and searching imestigation into the merits of the various
engines, enabled the council to arrive at the above decision.
It is expected that other largo towns in Yorkshire will
follow the example of Bradford, and will, like the metro-
polis, use steam power instead of manual labour in the
working of theix fa engines.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BAIL COURT.
(Sitting at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Mellor.)
MILLER Y. KIMBRAY.
This was an action brought to recover compensation in
damages for injuries sustained through the bite of a dog,
the property of the defendant, a widow, who keeps a
lodging-house at 4, Gardner-lane, Westminster.
Mr. Joyce and Mr. Pearse appeared for the plaintiff, but
the defendant was not represented by counsel.
From the evidence it appeared that the plaintiff is a
person in humble circumstances, living at 2, Gardner-lane,
occupying an apartment in one of the houses of the de-
' feudant. She went last January to pay some rent to the
landlady at her house, when she was attacked by a fero-
cious dog, the property of the latter, which inflicted
such injuries on her leg and thigh that she was laid up for
ten days in the Lospital, and was still about-patient. She
was unable to attend to her duties. and she and her husband
sustained such pecuniary loss as, in their humble circum-
stances, became a very serious matter. When the dog at-
tacked Mrs. Miller, the defendant cried, " Good God, he
is going to worry her," a proof, as it was contended by
counsel, she must have been aware of hit vicious habits
of the animal. It was proved that it had flown at some
of the neighbours, and about three years ago bit a
man in the leg, as he stated, tearing away the trowsers
and a piece of his calf, by which he was laid up for several
weeks, but no action was brought, the matter having been
arranged between the defendant's husband, who was then
living, and the party in question.
The medical gentlemen subpoenaed not being in attend-
ance, this closed the plaintiff's case.
. _ _

The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing the
damages at £lO.

CRIMINAL COUR r.-(rIIIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
CHARGE OF STABBING.

John Bryan and Richard Bryan were indicted with
feloniously wounding Thomas Elvin, with intent to do
him grievous bodily harm, and also with unlawfully as-
saulting Williarn:lzzard, a.pelice constable, whilst engaged
in the execution of his duty in the neighbourhood of
Whitechapel.
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty of the charge
of stabbing, but found both prisoners guilty of the assault.
Thomas Gough was then tried, in company with the
prisoners, on the charge of stabbing.
The jury found him guilty of unlawful wounding.
A number of former convictions were proved against
John Bryan and Richard Gough.
The Recorder sentenced John Bryan to fifteen months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

The prisoner on hearing his sentenco said—" All right
old boy ; I'm young and I can do it." (Laugllter.)
Gough was sentenced to twelve months' and Richard
Bryan to four months' imprisonment with hard labour.
