the high price of leather. The introduction oit

objec-
tion. tion. Another of the advantages is a protection of the le
from the kicks of the desperate. With the leggings they
can plod through the filthiest alleys and courts of our towns
and cities, and through country lanes in winter, and the
immediate neighbourhoods of farms hitherto inaccessible in
bad seasons. They, moreover, afford warmth at night, and,
being light, can, when not in use, be felded with the cape
or put into the pocket.—Globe.
CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—The Leek
casP, in which the Rev. gr. Ribbans and Mr. Sievier were
accused of conspiring to leave an illegitimate chill charge-
able to the Leek union, was re-heard on Saturday. The
nurse, Mrs. de Derriere, who brought the child from Lon-
don,bu t
was put into the witness-box,no new. evidence
was elicited. Who was the father of ,
the child and how
the infant was disposed of, were pretty clearly made out,
but the magistrates thought there was no evidence of con-
spiracy. It as a disgraceful case, they said, but there
was not evidence sufficient to establish a criminal intent.
The offenders must be left to the punishment of their own
consciences, for the law could not take hold of the offence.
TRAVELLING.--Professor Lowe, of New
York, who gave out last year that he intended to make a
trip to Europe in his mammoth air-ship, has written to the
Charleston papers stating that ho had been compelled,
through unforeseen circumstances connected with the me-
chanical apparatus and other equipments of the ship, to
postpone his first experiment in venal navigation until the
spring of the year, when he intended to solve the problem.
He had been engaged for some time past in examining
the upper currents, and had ascertained a current setting
from west to east as reliable as the Gulf Stream. He was
now seeking to'cliscover a return current from east to west,
in the existence of which he had a strong faith.
SINGULAR BEATH OF A THIEF.—One of the
Custom-house officers, near the Waterloo Dock, Liverpool,
noticed, on Saturday, a man running away from the James
R Keeler. The officer's suspicions were aroused by the
fact that the body of the man appeared unnaturally bulky,
and, grappling the runaway, they had a tough and despe-
rate struggle on the margin of the dock. Ultimately the
supposed smuggler, or thief, eluded the grasp of the officer,
and plunged headlong into the dock. He disappeared be-
neath the water, and, though the officer sought anxiously,
did not rise again. When the body was at length ieco-
vered it was found that no less than thirteen sheets of cop-
per had been wrapped round it. In the pockets of the de-
ceased were 41
