THE G. V. BROOKE LIFEBOAT.—We are happy
to learn that the committee have paid the first instalment
of £lOO to the Lifeboat Institution in aid of the above,
and the boat itself is already in hand, and the committee
have succeeded in getting a station at Poolbeg, near
Dublin, the native place of the lamented G. V. Brooke.
THE CANNON-STREET MURDER.—The trial of
William Smith, alias Denton, is fixed for Wednesday next
before Mr. Baron Bramwell. The prosecution on behalf
of Messrs. Bevington will be conducted by Mr. Metealfe
and Mr. Straight, and Mr. Montagu Williams defends the
prisoner.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE LORD VERNON.—The
funeral of the late Lord Vernon took place on Wednesday
last, at noon, at Sudbury, Derbyshire. A vault was pre-
pared for him under a yew tree in the churchyard, where
the remains of his late father and mother are interred.
The mourners were—the Hon. Diana Vernon, Lady H.
Vernon, Hon. A. W. Vernon, Hon. G. Vernon, Hon. Louisa
V. Warren, Hon. W. W. Vernon, Hon. Mildred Vernon,
Hon. Mrs. F. Anson, Rev. F. Anson, Miss Anson, Mr.
Alfred Anson, Hon. and Rev. J. Vernon, Mr. C. E.
Boothby, the Earl of Lichfield, Lord Waterpark, the Hon
and Rev. Adalbert Anson, Rev. A. Beddome, Captain
Hay, Mr. Arnold White, Rev. Marshall Wild, Mr. G. W.
Hay, Mr. H. Chawner, and Mr. C. C. Greenwell. The
corpse was borne by eight of his lordship's labourers, and
the pall by eight of his tenant farmers. The church was
draped in black cloth, and in front of ,the singing gallery
was the following passage of Scripture :—" Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord." There was a large number of
spectators present.

THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH NOTTS.—There
is every probability of a contest for this division. Sir
Robert Clifton, late M.P. for Nottingham, has consented,
it is said, to become a candidate. Sir Robert has many
friends and admirers amongst the electors in several dis-
tricts of the division, and should the hon. baronet go to
the poll, the contest would be exceedingly severe. Mr.
Hildyard is the Conservative candidate.

ATTE3IPT TO MURDER A GIRL.--011 Wednesday
the stepfather of a girl named Mary Davis, aged 20, a ser-
vant at the Bull's Head Inn, Oldham, called upon her there,
and requested that she would return home with him. She
refused, when the man threw her down, cut her windpipe
slightly with a razor, and also attempted to stab a man who
went to her assistance. He was drunk at the time.
ARMY RECRUITING.—Yesterday morning the
royal commissioners appointed to inquire into the subject
of recruiting in the army reassembled at the

cording to its rules, an apparently dead child from drown-
ing. Payments amounting to upwards of £5,000 had been
made by the institution during the past two months
on various lifeboat establishments. During the past
month the institution had sent new lifeboats to Runswick,
Wexford, and St. Ives. Public demonstrations had been

had been left to the institution by the late Mr. George

Scott of Warburton, Oxford. Reports were read from the
Inspector and Assistant-Inspector of Lifeboats on their
recent visits to various lifeboat stations under the man_

agemont of the institution. A. communication was read
from the Dutch Shipwreck Society, requesting that a
lifeboat and transporting carriage might be constructed
for that society by Messrs. Forrestt and Son, the builders
of the institution. The Commissioners of her Majesty's
Customs had ordered 600 copies of the mew edition of the
pamphlet of the institution on the management of open
boats in heavy surfs for circulation amongst their officers
at the various ports of the United Kingdom, The pro-
eedings then terminated.
