A R7IC-LoNT NEGRO 11-UNT.

On Saturday night,ovember 12, a negro man,
the property of a gentleman of Woodford County,
Kentucky, encamped at a strawyard on the farm of
Mr. Samuel Leechman, in Carroll County. and to
protect himself from the weather, built a fire from
the rails that surrounded the straw stack, leaving
the premises as soon as the first streaks of dawn
broke over the mountain tops. Mr. Leechman, on
arising, discovered the smoke up at the strawstack,
and went to ascertain the cause. On arriving at the
spot he soon discovered that some one had spent
the night there, and-as snow had fallen he had no
difficulty in tracing the footsteps of a man. It
readily occurred to him that the tracks were those
of a runaway negro. He tracked him by the house
of his neighbour (Mr. Craig), and seeing Mr. Craig
in the yard, informed him he was pursuing a run-
away, would he not join him P—to which Mr. Craig
readily consented, after procuring arms, &c.. The
trail wended its way through the farm of Mr. Bar-
craft, who also joined in pursuit. The track from
here led straight to the Ohio river, but the negro,
being hotly pursued, turned back to the hills,
hoping to elude his pursuers in the winding defiles
of the Kentucky cliffs. This he nearly succeeded
in doing by walking some distance in the bottom
of a meandering stream ; but as all things have an
end, so did the stream haven beginning, at the
source of which his tracks again became percep-
tible. Here, for the first time, they discovered him
standing on a high elevation above them, but lie
immediately disappeared over the hills. The track
now being broad and plain, the pursuit was pro-
portionately rapid. From here the negro made
directly for the Kentu::ky river, with his white
pursuers close on his heels. Arriving on the bank,
lie paused a moment, but seeing them coming up
to seize him, he ran out on a log that projected into
the river some 20 feet, and turned at bay upon his
enemies, exclaiming, " Gentlemen, I will not be
taken alive. The first man who comes out on this
after me will witness the ball pass through my own
brain" (at the same time presenting the muzzle
of a pistol to his head). The party in
pursuit were struck with the determined
expression that his countenance seemed to
manifest, and for a while paused to parley with
him. But all to no effect, however. He re-
peated he would kill himself if they attempted to
come out aft ,r him. Two of the men determined
to test his valour, cocked their pistols, and com-
menced walking the log towards him ; but their
feet had not more than touched log when he
pulled the trigger and fell into the water. They
immediately caught him before he sank and dragged
him to the shore. On examining the wound they,
found that the ball had entered through the parie-
tal bone, and ranged upward and outward. During
the examination he commenced breathing, labo-
riously at first, after a while more regularly, finally
opened his eye,, and expressed deep regret at his
failure. He still survives, but can hardly be ex-
pected to recover.— J"eray (Indiana) News.

IMMORALITY OF TUE FRENCII STAGE.

The Imperial Court 'decided, on Wednesday, re-
Tersing a judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce,
that an actress under age was entitled to set aside a
theatrical engagement entered into without the
consent of her father, on the ground that it was
manifestly disadvantageous to herself, and that the
mere non-interference of the father was not a suffi-
cient tacit consent. The circumstances of this case
are curious, and throw a strange light upon the
system on which actresses are engaged in certain
Paris theatres. The appellant, whose real name is
Mdlle. Antoinette Jathiot, but whose appellation
on the playbills was Antonia de Savy, is an ex-
tremely pretty girl, who appeared when very young
on the boards of the Porte St. Martin and the
Varieties. Some time since, when about 20 years
old, she signed an engagement with the managers
of the Palais Royal Theatre for two years, at a salary
of 1,200 f. for the first year, and I,Boof. for the second.
Out of this miserable pay, about 4f. a day on an ave-
rage, she was bound to find herself in "linen, stock-
ings, shoes, head-dresses, and all theatrical cos-
tumes requisite for her parts, except foreign cos-
tumes totally different from anything habitually
worn in France." Besides this, she was liable to
fines for a great variety of stage offenc,:s, and in case
of the breach of any part of her engagement, was to
pay a sum of 10,000 f. by way of liquidated damages.
M. G. Chaix d'Est Ange, her counsel, said that such
an agreement as this, which left no margin for her
subsistence, and which any actress must be mad to
sign, was a palpable imposition upon her youth. and
inexperience, and could not be supported against a
minor in a court of law. But it was answered on the
other side that neither the managers of the theatre
nor the young lady herself ever expected that she
was to gain her living on the stage; that although
legally under age, she was old in experience as a
member of the demi-monde; that her real profession
was that of a " Dame aux Camelias," the profits of
which profession were most
niaterally increased by
the opportunity given her to show herself to the
public in the character of an actress. In support of
this view, which the facts showed to beincontrover-
tible, it was stated that the father, who had now
been put forward 10 object to the contract, was a
humble clerk, who had not for many years exercised
any control over his daughter, that he lived by
himself in a miserable garret in the ltue St. Lazare,
while mademoiselle occupic d splendid apartments in
the Passage Saulnier, kept her carriage and servants,
and habitually spent 6,000 f. or B,ooof. a year upon
her toilette alone. It was even said that the known
fact of her having a great many handsome dresses
was one of the circumstances which induced the
management to engage her. These arguments sun-

and refusal to play a certain
part; and, moreover,
ordered her to pay 1,500 f. damages and the costs of
the suit. But the Court of Appeal, adopting the
view of M. l'Avocat-General Moreau, that the
Court could not in any way sanction such an im-
moral notion as, that the terms of the contract
were not disadvantageous for the minor, because
it was known that she got her living in a way that
could not be avowed, set it aside, reversed the ver-
dict awarding damages against her, and ordered
the managers of the Palais Royal to pay all the
costs.

r FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH. STAFFORDSHIRE
RAILWAY.—On Thursday evening' an accident, unfoftu-
nately resulting fatally, occurred in connexion with the
six p.m. train from Wallsall to Birmingham. Between
Newton-road and Perry Barr the tyre of one of the wheels
flew off, and, having fractured some planks in the bottom
of the carriage to which it belonged, this appears to have
alarmed one of the passengers to such an extent that he
jumped out. Two of the carriages and the guard's van were
thrown off the rails, but those who were travelling in them
were fortunately uninjured, and no injury was oc Asioned to
the line. Th e delay that was necessitated by the occurrence
preveiged the arrival of the Liverpool express and other
trains m Birmingham for nearly two hours. When disco-
vered, the poor fellow who jumped out of the train was in-
sensible, and appeared to be badly injured internally, and
in a short time he expired,

Monday, the 26th, will be observed as a close
holiday in the dockyard and other public establish-
ments at Portsmouth and Gosport.
The following is an extract of a letter from her
Majesty's ship Simoom, dated St. Vincent's, De-
cember 1 :

" We arrived here to-day-11 days from Ports-
mouth. Ship sailing well. We coal here, and then
proceed on to the Cape. All well on board. Mail
leaves for England in half an hour."
The Hero, 91, Capt. Seymour, at Spithead, is
under orders for sea. Her crew have had leave
ashore since she has lain at Spithead.
The crew of the Melpomene, 51, at Spithead, are
having leave ashore by watches.
The following appointments were made yester-
aay at the Admiralty :—Commander J. K. E.
Baird, to the Alacrity, commissioned ; and James
"Warren, acting third-class assistant engineer addi•
tional, to the Fisgard, for service in the Widgeon.
The Adelaide, No. 5 transport, is shipping a
powerful supply of guns, shot, shell, and a large
amount of every necessary from Woolwich Ar-
senal, for the speedy subjugation of the Celestials.
She is likewise shipping 800 tons of patent fuel
brought alongside in barges. No. 6 transport, the
Sir William Peel, is ordered down to Woolwich
Pier, on Tuesday next, to commence shipping a
similar cargo. The following transports have been
chartered by the War Department to ship military
stores from Woolwich :—The Trio, the John' Brooks,
the Wolverene, the British Empire, the Christina,
the Malabar, the .Tunny, tho Incardine, and the
Symmetry. The War Department have issued in-
structions for the military guards to be re-estab-
lished in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, on the same
duties as performed prior to the Russian war, the
police force to remain in charge of the entrances as
heretofore; the regulation to commence on the Ist
of January. The main guardroom, at present occu-
pied by Mr. Mallalien and the assistant commis-
sioners of police, will in consequence be resigned to
the military. An appropriate building for that
purpose is now in course of erection adjacent to the
police-station, e •
tation which will he surmounted by a semi-
turret,ea-s to contain the Arsenal bell. The entire
labouring establishment of the Arsenal, with the
•
exception of the storekeeper's department, were
yesterday paid thefts week's wages, and, with the
sanction of tare e Secretary of State for War, the
whole. of the departments, with the. allove-
named exception, will he closed from 10
a.m. this morning till the Wednesday
morning after Christmas, With th'e proviso that
10 hours are to be retrieved by the men at the rate
of two hours on each of the succeeding five days
of labour. The storekeeper's department will be
unavoidably deprived of an equal privilege in con-
sequence of the emergency of continuing the ship-
ment of stores for China.

" That the rules now read be adopted as the rules of the
corps, and submitted as such for the approbation of the Go-
vernthent authorities, with power to the committee to modify
the same."

The resolution was carried almost unanimously.

Lord ELCHO, in answer to a question, explained
that the members of the council were taken from the
honorary, instead of the effective members in order
to obviate anydifficulties which might arisebetween
an officer and a private who might possibly be in
the council. He now came to the question of dress,
in which all parties were interested. (Hear.) His
views were these—the question of dress turned on
three things—cut, colour, and cost. What were the
principles on which sportsmen and soldiers should
be dressed ? COmfort and common sense. For the
soldier is a sportsman, the difference being that the
soldier pursues the biped, and the sportsman a qua-
druped. (Laughter.) And this put him in mind
of a sporting friend who wished to join this corps,
" because," he said, "he could not go shooting on
his own hook" if an invasion should at any time
take place. (Laughter.) To return from this di-
gression, he would ask them whether comfort and
common sense had been the principles on which the
British army had been dressed ? Comfort and com-
mon sense were not to be found in black leather
stocks, tight-fitting tunics, and Highland bonnets.
Mr. Bernal Osborne had said that the principles on
which the authorities dressed .a soldier were the ;
same as savages painted themselves—viz., to frighten
the enemy. Now, he (Lord Elcho) wished to make
them as comfortable and soldierlike as possible, but
he would make them comfortable first and smart
afterwards, and for these reasons he was in favour
of the introduction of knickerbockers. The knicker-
bockers were worn in olden time; the French Chas-
sours wear them, and they are worn in a modified
form by the Zouaves. They combined the advan-
tages of the kilt and; the trouserd of the. Zouave.

fortably. As to colour, some were for red. (No, no.)
There was much to say for red according to
some; it was the national colour, and would help
to distinguish friends from foes. But these persons
forgot that red was also worn by the French, Now

Letters were also read from Lord Elcho, Mr. V.
Knight, Mr. Bodkin, and other noblemen and gen-
tlemen, expressing their regret at being unable to
attend; and also one from Messrs. Nicholson, an-
nouncing a donation of £25.
The Rev. Mr. MAGUIRE proposed the first resolu-
tion, to the effect that the organisation of rifle corps
being deemed expedient, the meeting pledged itself
to use every effort to make it strong, efficient, and
creditable to the parish. He said the movement was
essentially a peace movement, and, as a minister of
the Gospel, he did not conceive he was out of place
in advocating it on that platform. Prevention was
better than cure, and further, it was cheaper. The
press had taken up the movement, and he did net con-
sider it led, but was rather the reflex of public opinion.
They had not to consult the feelings of the French
Emperor so much as the feelings of the French
army. There was an army of 800,000 men on the
look out, and where would they find so rich a prize as
England? If they would have Englishman main-
tain her position, they must be up and doing, and
it was the riflemen who would enable her to main-
tain it, no matter what emergency might arise.
Even if no foe were expected, the movement would
give to the youth of England a more manly vigour,
and recal in some measure the athletic sports of the
ancient Britons. Their pursuits were too sedentary,
and it would give a more healthy tone to their cha-
racter. He considered that a money qualification
ought to be entirely set aside, and that the man
who was the best shot ought to have the right of
membership. Prizes should be given upon the good
old motto, Palmam qui merait ferat.
Mr. GLOVER seconded the motion in a brief
address.

Some strange statements occasionally make their
appearance in " newspapers ;" in fact, the greater
the canard the greater the probability that it will
find a place in the columns of the " Morning Twad-
dler," whose editor, whatever his genius and 'how-
ever übiquitous he may be, cannot tell what is pass-
ing in every part of the kingdom at a given hour of
the day. Some ingenious penny-a-liner has recently
been turning an honest penny, by manufacturing
startling paragraphs about the abandonment of
Woolwich Arsenal and its transferrence to some
other site, till the good people of Woolwich give a
kind of half-credence to the rumour, and already,
in fancy, see the grass growing over the ruins of the
Armstrong factory. The complete powerlessness
of Woolwich in the event of any invasion has also
been set forth in language too dogmatic to allow of
its dictum being disputed. Unfortunately for the
truth of these canards, the Government is tied fast
to Woolwich by a mortgage bond of more than
fifteen millions of money, that being the value,
on the lowest estimate, of the property which
the Government has erected, in its naval and
military departments, at that place; and as
the War Department, instead of seeking to lessen
this mortgage bond, is at this moment aiding con-
siderably to it—first, by erecting new foundries for
casting the Armstrong gun—secondly; by erecting
an additional wing to the Royal Military Academy
—thirdly, by building a magnificent hospital for
marines and seamen—fourthly, by designing a new
hospital for the Royal Artillery—and finally, by a
variety of schemes which will in all probability in-
crease the bond to upwards of twenty millions of
money—there is no prospect, immediate or remote,
of Woolwich being ever abandoned as a naval and
military station.
The groundwork of this enlarged rumour, which
has grown like the story of the " three black
crows," appears to lie simply in the fact that there
isaa probability of removal of `the Store Depart-
ment to Weedon, from the greater contiguity of
that town to the manufacturing districts, and from
the necessity which exists for securing the whole
area of Woolwich Arsenal for the manufacture of
the munitions of war. The stores, which aro im-
mediately in the custody of the Store Department,
are chiefly the personnel of the army, and have no
relation whatever to instruments of offence and
defence the manufacture of which belongs exclu-
sively to Woolwich Arsenal. It is possible, also,
that a second but subordinate laboratory may be
formed at some other town, the difficulty of proem,.
ing "child labour" in Woolwich having already led
to the employment of a number of boys at Devon-
port in the manufacture of cartridges, &c. If the
Government had any serious intention of abandon-
ing Woolwich, it would be inexcusable to go on, as
at the present moment, making expensive additions
to buildings and machinery, and we are therefore
justified in asserting authoritatively that Woolwich
will remain, as it has ever done, the great manu-
factory of ordnance and of warlike stores.
The argument assigned for this absurd story is,
that Woolwich has been pronounced by competent
-military authorities to be incapable of efficient de-
fence. The assertion is simply ridiculous, and were
it not that Woolwich is at the present moment with-
out any defences whatever, and that it has become
a question of interest to ascertain the points at
which its defences can be best constructed, we should
at once dismiss the assertion as unworthy of further
contradiction; as, however, the question of efficiently
defending the. greatest arsenal of the world must
force itself soon upon the consideration of the War
Department, we shall proceed to consider this im-
portant question.
Unless we regard Woolwich as an outwork of
the metropolis, it would hardly be worth while to
devote a moment's consideration to the defences of
the river Thames. The advance'of an enemy's fleet
up the stream might be effectually retarded by a
few booms, or by sinking a couple of ships of the
line across the main channel. Neither the batteries
in Sea Reach nor those at Tilbury Fort would op-
pose much resistance to a strong naval force •, but
at any part of Long,Reach the channel could be as
effectually blocked up in a few hours, as the mouth
of-Sebastopol harbour was by Menschikoff, or the
Peiho by the Chinese, whilst it would be equally
easy to run up earthworks at Purfleet to annoy the
enemy, if he shoald attempt to destroy the barriers.
Admitting, however, that it might be prudent to
erect batteries to cover the approach by the river,
the hills at Purfleet and Erith are wonderfully
adapted by nature for the purposes of defence.
Both' dominate the river at a very short dis-
tance from its shores—both command the land ap-
proaches on either side—and could, therefore,.be

Mr. King said the witness was the Rev. Charles
Fuge Lowder,,the curate of St. George-in-the-East,
and he would prove that ho was annoyed and dis-
quieted by the conduct of Bradford in the church.
Mr. Selfe said the Rev. Mr. Lowder would come
to town to do duty in the church on Christmas-day,
and .surely he could be at that court on Saturday
afternoon. He did not see the necessity of the Rev.
Mr. Lowder's evidence at all. He must be clearly
understood as having no disposition to favour one
side or the other. He had no bias in the matter;
but he would say this, that if there was a disturb-
ance in the church he should take it as a matter of
course as a disturbance within the meaning of the
statute of Queen Mary, whether the clergyman was
annoyed or not. It must not depend on the nerves
or moral courage of the minister, whether he was
annoyed and disquieted or not, by a brawl or di-
turbance in a church. It depends on the act done.
Some ministers would not be annoyed or disquieted
by any row or brawl in a church. Mr. Maconochie,
one of the curatos of St. George-in-the-East, per-
haps would not. He should take it as a matter
of law—in fact as a matter of course that the
minister was disquieted if there was a disturb-
ance in the church. He could not go into the case
on Saturday unless Mr. Barnes was present, and he
must be ir formed the case was postponed until that
day. He (Mr. Selfe), however, never meant the
unhappy disputes in St. George-in-the-East should
be revived in that court before Christmas, and he
should be vary happy if he never heard of them
again.
It was then arranged that Mr. Barnes should be
communicated with, and the solicitor having
thanked the magistrate for his courtesy, retired.

Mr. POWNALL supported the resolution, and
said, the rifle would prove an efficient weapon in
the hands of Englishmen. In that district they
would have some difficulty in obtaining shoot-
ing ground, but he did not apprehend
there would be any difficulty in getting
ground for drill. There was, in fact, a piece
of ground outside the prison walls which would
ansvibr their purpose very well. As to the expenses
they would, no doubt, he considerable. The uniform
would cost about £3, the beltlsB., and the cap 12s.
Then they would be obliged to join some other
corps in order to decrease the expense. He did not
advocate the formation of rifle corps from arly -fear
of invasion ; on the contrary, he believed the French
Empefor. krieW England much too well and was
much too wise ever to think of an invasion. Let
them all unite in one hand for the good of the coun-
try, and uphold their individual blessings, and

[ADVERTISEITENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment- and Pills.—
Safe and certain. —All' who have triad these remedies have'
always resorted to them again when overtaken by illness ;
by the recommendations of grateful patients have the enor-
mous sale and reputation of _Holloway's Ointment and Pills
been established. For all diseases affecting the exterior or
interior of the human body, a cure is certainly found in
these noble medicaments ; whose action is impotent for
evil, but wonderfully efficacious in cleansing, purifying,
and improving the functions of every organ, always raising
it to its natural standard; and healthfully rectifying every
secretion of the body. In female complaints, especially,
they operate beneficially by having the ointment briskly
ribbed on the bottom of th e stomach and back.
