HASTY REMOVAL.—The Count de Chambord, the
Duchess do Berri, and the Duke de Modena aro removing
from their palaces at Venice all the moveable objeats~
mirrors, panels of marble, and gilt or carved woodwork•

" Those precautions," says a letter from that city, " were •
quite unnecessary, for those residences are placed under the
special protection of the law, and no one would certainly
have touched them. There is nothing to prevent the Count
de Chambord and his mother from continuing to pass the
winter at Venice, particularly as that city will be gayer in
the approaching season than it has been for the last 80
years."

THE LATE PRINCIPAL GRAVES.—The premature
decease of this polished gentleman and ripe scholar, en
long the head of the Training College at Battersea, has
most unfortunately left five orphan children in need of jai-
mediate assistance. Two of the elder children are, by the
kindness of friends, to be entered as candidates for admis-
sion to the Clergy Orphan School, and in order to provide
for the other three it is proposed to raise a fund for their
future care and education. The following gentlemen have
kindly consented to act as trustees of the fund, viz.:`"
W. Evill, jun., Esq., Lyncombe House, Battersea lase;
P. Cazenove, Esq., Clapham-common ; W. G. Baker'
9, Cedars-road, Clapham ; and H. S. Thornton,
Clapham-common, as treasurer. The afflicting circa°.
stance of five young children, hitherto tended with the
greatest care, being suddenly bereft of both parents, left
alone in the world and totally unprovided for, will, We
feel assured, be quite sufficient to commend their case t°
the consideration of that benevolent and charitable portion
of the community who are ever ready to extend their as-
sistance to worthy and deserving objects. That these poor
children are, in all respects, proper recipients for that open"
handed charity which so distinguishes so many of the
good and generous in the land, the names of the above
gentlemen, who have undertaken to receive subscriptions
on their behalf, will be at once a sufficient guarantee.
CHOLERA IN THE HOSPITALS.—Last night Harriet
Hubbard, aged 28 years, one of the night nurses
Guy's Hospital, in the Petersham or cholera ward, died ef,
cholera. During the whole of the progress of the disease
she had attended to the patients with unremitting zesll
and has now at the termination of the epidemic, and when
there are only a few rapidly recoving cases, fallen a vietils
to her great exex Lions. It may be mentioned that all the
males brought to the hospital attacked by cholera hay°
recovered with the exception of Daniels, while all the
women and children have succumbed to the disease. One
affecting episode is related with regard to one of the 01'
ferers. It appears that a German, his wife, and two chil-
dren were admitted. The wife and children died, and
while in a state of delirium the husband and father wag
beseeching his wife to come to him their bodies Nore
being borne to the door of the ward. He got better all
left the hospital cured. It is only due to the hospital
authorities and all employed in attendance upon the extra'
number :of patients the cholera had thrown upon their
hands to state that they took the most prompt and active
steps to meet the emergency, and that the best mod
skill, the largest amount of comfort, and the utmost ado'
tion was being bestowed upon all requiring it.
ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A CONVICT.—On Wed-
nesday a murderous outrage was committed in Chatllo
Dockyard by a convict, who attempted to kill an AS'
sistant warder, and inflicted such injuries as were like/Sr
to prove fatal. John Fletcher and other convicts were Ow
ployed at the extreme end of the dockyard, close to the
dockyard extension works, breaking stones, when Fletcher
suddenly attacked Mr. Boyle, assistant warder, with his
heavy hammer, inflicting fearful wounds on the right eye'
the nose, and the jaw. A civil guard, named L. Irwin, in'
mediately rushed up to the aid of his fellow-officer the
convict threatened Irwin with his hammer, and the guar'
in self-defence, made thrusts at the convict with the haf'd
net, inflicting various wounds, and eventually knock
him down with blows from his rifle. Assistance arriving;,
the wounded men wet e removed to the hospital at the pri;
son at St. Mary's, and surgical aid was obtained. It Wa,
found that the injuries inflicted on Mr. Boyle, the assistant
warder, were of a most dangerous character, and it wa
feared that they would prove fatal. The wounds of but°
convict were also found to be of a serious charactert_
less apprehension is felt for the result in his case. Yiett
cher is a desperate fellow, for it appears that he is noW 'LT;
dergoing a sentence for a crime attended by violence; Pr
has been condemned to seven years' penal servitude Nr,
highway robbery, with violence. A good deal of insubo
dination has been manifested of late by criminals confine
in St. Mary's Convict Prison, near the dockyard. Quite
recently a number of the prisoners were flogged for 'n
subordination in regard to the food supplied ; and new
assisiant warder has narrowly escaped being murdered °rt'
the spot by a dastardly assailant because ho had to rePa°
the prisoner for laziness, &c. The unfortunate war ,e,
was still alive yesterday afternoon, but remaiuod rose
sible, never having recovered consciousness, and his enf°
is considered by all to be quite hopeless. The guard
in rushing forward to endeavour to rescue Boye, fell ag'a'in
a piece of granite, so grazing both his legs, from his knee_
downward, that to-day he has been obliged to go into he,
