JUSTICE WITH THE CAP AND BELLS.—The follow'
ing cross-examination of the defendant in an action

in the Dublin Court of Exchequer for indecent assault on a
married woman, is extracted from the Dublin Freeman:
Mr. Sergeant Armstrong: "Tell me, Mr. Graham, are'yon
what they call an absolute Joseph ?"—" I do not know
what you mean." " Did you ever hear of Joseph of Egypt ?"
—" No." "Or the other Joseph, or of any Joseph ?" Mr;
Dowse : "Joseph Napier." Mr. Sergeant Armstrong
will give you three. Joseph of Egypt, Joseph Andrew°,
and Joseph Surface, and ask you if you ever heard of
them ?"—Witness : "No." Mr. Sergeant Armstrong
" Neverheard of any of them?"—Witness : " No." " The''
you are a man of religious education at any rate. Did you
ever hear of Mrs. Potiphar?"—Witness : " No." Mr. Ser-
geant Armstrong: "Now, Mr. Graham, you live in Smith-
field, and do you mean to say that you never heard of Mrs.
Potiphar, of North King-street ?" Witness (emphatically)
"Upon my oath I never heard tell of the woman." Ur'
Sergeant Armstrong : " Well, then, Mr. Graham, as they
are going to improve the system of national education,
may I ask you who was your schoolmaster, for something
may be done for him ?"—Witness : "I had so many of
them I could not say." Mr. Butt : " Too many cooks
spoil the broth." Mr. Sergeant Armstrong : Very
well,
and we have the result. Now, Mr. Graham, you say you
do not know who Joseph was--" —Witness : " If it is
Joseph of the Scriptures you are talking of, I know a°
much about him as you do. I will argue the point with
you if you like."

THE CONVICT CHARLOTTE WINSOR.—Now that
this wretched woman has finally escaped her just and
long-expected fate, facts are gradually oozing out with
regard to her conduct under the unprecedentedly strang°
circumstances in which she has been placed. It is re-
markable the amount of power she has appeared to possess
over her feelings, or perhaps it would be more correct t 0
say how little feeling she appears to possess. In conver-
sation a week, or two ago she remarked, " I shan't believe
I shall be hung till I get the rope round my neck
now," and on another occasion remarked, "If they
mean
to hang me I wish they' be quick about it, and settle it
one way or the other." Although in most cases the long
delay of 14 months under sentence of death would hav°
worn out the convict with anxiety and suspense, Wins°r
has suffered to all appearance but little. In fact she seems
devoid of feeling. The convict's third husband and ber
sister have had an interview with her in the presence °',
the governor. Among the many sources of speculation is
the written document in the possession of Mr. Rose, con-
taining statements made by the prisoner a day or two b°-
fore the arrival of her respite in January last, and Nybei,
her execution seemed almost certain. The document is said
to implicate several persons holding good positions in Tor-
quay and neighbourhood. It will be remembered that
Winsor at the time expressed her strong desire that the
contents be made known to the public in the newspapers
and a rumour further says that a near relation to the al-
vict remarked to a friend the other day "that several per-
sons wero trembling in their shoes about that paper ; and
...
that if the old woman was hung there were some letters 1"
existence that could be produced which would bring b°ll3de
crime to several parties." Some newspapers have fours
r
food for comment on the statement that " Thrice has
scaffold been erected." This, however, is metaphorical
only ; it was only got out and oiled ready to go up. 'tile
always erected on the morning of the execution; and
respites have arrived before that. Her grave was dug, anda
Ashford is buried in it, though not in Winsor's coffin,
has also been stated.— Western Morning News.
THE GARIBALDIAN VOLUNTEERS.—Accord-0
the Italia of Naples the service uniform of the Garb
baldian volunteers has already been decided upon, and
will consist of the traditional red woollen shirt, Gt.°
capote, and cloth trousers. The shako will be that wool
by the regular troops. The volunteers will be arm'
with musket and bayonet alone, and carry a cartridge
box of black leather and a holland haversack. "The whole
corps," continues the Italia," will be divided intA°
ten regiments, commanded by as many colonels, 0'
five generals. Each regiment will be provided with three
fourgons and a special ambulance service, organised by tbo
committee of enrolment. The general staff will also be
chosen by the committee from among the veteran volao-
teers who have already made several campaigns under
Garibaldi. The committee are now organising the sanitary
arrangements." Other intelligence states that the volun-
teer legion will comprise two squadrons of picked carrnir);;
It is not decided whether a battery of field artillery' shall
be added, this being left to the judgment of General Garl-
baldi.-I?euter's Express.
THE CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.—Three additional
cases in cholera have been admitted into the workhouse. Two additional deaths were reported from tlis
Jessie Munn. T welvo cases still remain on board. It
said that Mr. Roberts, the master of the emigration clept:
at Birkenhead, has received instructions to clear out.
ene:
German emigrants thence, and accommodation has 19„00
sought for at Bankhall. Should this prove 0011'0°4_ _
additional persons will be thrown upon the bands a tn

and Paso_
Steam-
ship Company intend to burn all the fittings
