The last official accounts from New Zealand are
very favourable. Four regiments of British troops are re-
turning home. Not only was commerce decidedly on the
increase, but progress was making in the gold discoveries,
and immigration was steadily advancing.
MISS LONGWORTH AND THE " SATURDAY RE-
viEw."—The Caledonian Mercury says :—Six of
the jurors who voted the Saturday Review article to be no
libel, with the three who were for giving a verdict in
favour of the pursuer, have made solemn declaration; in
the presence of magistrates and justices of the peace in
their :respective localities, that they gave their verdict
under an erroneous impression of the law of the case, and
that since they read the judgment of Lord Jerviswoode in
the public papers—a judgment which some of them say
they did not hear at all when delivered, and others aver
they heard only very indistinctly—they have felt con-
vinced that they did Mrs. Yelverton injustice, and that
they would now give a verdict in her favour. The nine
jurors severally ask for a new trial, on the ground that
without it injury would continue to be wrongfully in-
flicted on Mrs. Yelverton, and that they themselves would
suffer under the conviction that in ignorance or mis-
appiehension they had done her that injury. Application
will be made immediately for a now trial. A number of
the friends of MI s. Yelverton, however, looking at the
moral effect of the present change, aro advising her to
rest content with it."

REPRESENTATION OF NOTTINGIIA3I.-011 Wed-
nesday evening a meeting of the Nottingham Inde-
pendent Society was held at the Black Boy Hotel. Reso-
lutions were passed pledging the members to give their
support, morally and pecuniarily, to Sir Robert Clifton, in
defending his scat as representative of the borough in
Parliament against the petition with which he is threatened,
and also resolving to present a petition against the return
of Mr. Samuel Morley, as having been secured by bribery,
intimidation, corruption, and other unconstitutional means.
Further subscriptions to the amount of 800 wore received.
After the transaction of some business it was resolved to
hold a public meeting in the large room of the Durham Ox
Inn on Friday evening. Lady Clifton has consented to
preside over the Ladies' Central Committee.

THE MURDER IN SHROPSHIRE.—The young man,
James Childe, who was apprehended on a charge of
having murdered the step-son of Mr. Meredith, in a mill
near the latter's residence, on Sunday last, was brought up
for examination yesterday at Bridgnorth. The evidence
tended to show that the accused could not have been at
the mill at the time the murder was committed, but the
magistrate remanded him. The weapon with which there
is every reason to conclude the murder was perpetrated
has been found in the mill. It is a blacksmith's steel
punch, about eight inches long, and of the diameter of a
mufti; finger.
