M. RENAN'S " VIES DES APOTRES" is reported
to be on the eve of publication.
The Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, who
has continued much in the same state during the past week
was yesterday much worse, and no hope is now entertained
that he will long survive.
FRESH MUSIC FROM FLOTOW AND GOUNOD.—A
new opera, by M. de Flotow, " Zilda," is in preparation at
the Opera Comique. It is high time that the composer
should have another succoss.—M. Gounod " Colombo," a
triffo originally produced at Baden-Baden, is to be given at
the same theatre.

MR. MARSTON'S NEW PLAY will be first produced
by Mr. Sothorn in Glasgow. The title is to be "The
Favourite of Fortune." It will be produced at tho Hay-
market immediately on Mr. Sothern's return from the pro-
vinces.

GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK.—On the morning of

the 15th ult. a groat fire broke out in Broadway, New
York, which terminated in the destruction of the American
Theatre and the City Assembly-rooms. The total amount
of damage has been estimated at $150,000.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A singular accident
occurred to a groom named Marsden, in the neighbourhood
of York, on Friday. Beadsman, the celebrated entire blood
horse, which belongs to Sir Josep'a Hawley, is now stand-
ing for' the season at Middlethorpe, near York. Whilst
being led about in his exercise on Friday by Marsden, the
animal suddenly seized the groom by his hand, and, start-
ing off at a gallop, dragged the poor fellow fora distance of
at least 200 yards. Marsden was dreadfully shaken, and

the hand which had been seized was so crushed and lace-
rated that surgical assistance had to be called in. No seri-
ous results, however, are apprehended.
THE BUTTON PIT MURDER. AT WIGAN.—On
Saturday morning a large number of navvies commenced
tapping the bank of the Liverpool and Leeds Canal, so as
to let off the water between Pendlebury and Gibson's-
bridge, to enable a search to be made for the watch be-
longing to the murdered man Barton, alleged to have been

thrown into the canal near that spot on the confession of
one of the men awaiting trial at Kirkdale. There are some
150 navvies engaged, and a large posse of police officers aro
stationed there for two days.—Alanchester Courier.
C JULIAN PRIVATEERS IN E UROPE .--A Chilian
privateer steamer has been fallen in with off tha coast of
Norway. Tho Concordia (Spanish steamer), arrived in
Christiansand to land a cargo of fish for Cadiz, was spoken
by her, and fortunately escaped her by hoisting the Eng-
lish flag. Vessels in Norway are demanding higher freights
for Spain upon Northern produce. The above-named
steamer Concordia arrived at Falmouth on Feb. 25, on her
return voyage to Spain, and proceeded thence on the 27th
for her port of destination.

THE MURDERER OF SIXTEEN WOMEN.—The pre-
liminary examinat:on of Philippe, the murderer of the
woman in the Rue de la Ville l'Eveque, Paris, is now al,-
preaching its termination. Crime appears to have been a
monomania with him, and the inquiry has brought to light
not less than 16 murders committed by him on women; of
these five were in Algeria, three in Italy, and cleft in
France, and all by cutting their throats with a razor. 110
displays a remarkable cynicism, and on first entering the
office of the examining judge expressed his astonishment
that he should not be permitted to smoke thereE.Rsres.

rather overdid the grog. I'm a plain man, and I mean
what I say, and what I say is this—hero we are, and we
don't know whether it is berg or mainland, and no
food left—not a crumb. Now, what is to be done ?

then turn back, commit ourselves to God, who directs all
things in the heavens above and the earth beneath (you all
heard me read that on Sunday, and needn't repeat it), and
take to the raft, whatever happens. But there's one thing
I ha,ve to say, as a plain man, and that is—if any coward
here dares even whisper the word cannibalism,' I'll shoot
him dead with this gun I hold in my hand, and mean to
hold day and night. We are Christian men, mind ; and no
misery shall make wild beasts of us, while I am a live eap-

LOCH TAY (West End).—The sport during the week
ending the 17th ult., considering the character of the wee-
.her, was very good. On Monday three gentlemen were
out, and two during the rest of the week. The result of the
week's fishing was 12 excellent salmon, the heaviest
weighed 311 b. and 301 b., the rest weighed from 131 b. to
201 b. The chief fisherman declares he never saw finer spe_
cimens of fish than the 311 b. and 301 b. All the gentlemen
fishing aro residing at 111Therson's Hotel, where, we may
add, excellent accommodation is to be got with admirable
attention to creature comforts. We have not heard of any-
zhing being done on the waters attached to the other inns
on Loch Tay. At the lower end of the loch, the Earl of
13readalbane and Lord Glenoreby are gettine, capital sport,
killing from five to seven clean 4a11119n each per day
