Leone, went on shore at an early hour this morning
(at about 1 a.m.), during the fog, near Dungeness.
We are no'.; aware whether any serious damage has re-
sulted from the accident, but from the absence of in-
telligence respecting her it is probable that she has
succeeded in getting off, and has proceeded on her
voyage.
CHILD MURDER IN HYDE-PARS.—SAGACITY OF A Do G.
—Yesterday Mr. Bedford the coroner, received informa-
tion from the police of the murder of an infant, which
had that morning been discovered in the Serpentine
River by a large Newfoundland dog, which dragged
the body, conhined in a bundle, to the bank of the
river.

THE TEA TRADE June 22.—The deliveries in Lon-
don, estimated for the week, were 681,323 W., being a
decrease of 7,0091 b. compared with the previous state-
ment.
The Lisbon letters of the 15th state that the House of
Deputies had unanimously approved the bill presented
by the Finance Committee for placing 100 contos
(22,000/.) sterling at the disposal of the King of Portu-
gal, for the expense of his Majesty's marriage, and of
settling a dowry of 60 contos (13,0001. sterling) per
annum upon the new Queen—a very liberal sum for a
country like Portugal.
TILE Moons.—Throughout the winter grouse have
been in fine condition—their plumage glossy, flight
vigorous, and the well-known crowing of the cocks loud
and clear. On all low moors the young broods are
strong, counting from eight to ten in a covey. A. sports-
man, well known for great feats on the moors and in the
deer-glens, writes from his shooting-quarters on the 4th
Of June :—" Grouse are quite healthy, and stags are
getting very forward in condition. I expect better herds
this season than we have seen for the last three or four
years."—lnverness Courier,

I - The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yes-
terday, and heard as application for the prolongation of
patent (" Warlich's Patent Fuel"). Present—Lords
Justices Knight Bruce and Turner, the Dean of the
Arches Court, Sir J. Patteson, Sir W. Maule, and Sir
E. Ryan.
HARBOUR OF REFUGE AT THE CAPS.-By advises
received to-day from the Cape of Good Hope, it appears
highly probable that the proposition to construct a
Harbour of Refuge at Table Bay will be carried out.
The intended works, which meet with the approval of
the home Government, will cast 1,000,000/, which the
colony appears desirous of repaying, by an .amended
tariff of wharfage rates on goods landed or shipped in
Table Bay, in preference to any duty which might tend
to affect the trade of the port. _ _

A WARNING TO SIMPERS.—With reference to the
fire which broke out on board a lighter in the St. Katha-
rine's Docks, by some bottles of nitric acid in one of the
packages becoming broken, proceedings it is understood
have been commenced against the shippers by the Cus-
tom-house authorities, the Dock Company, and other
parties. A culpable and highly dangerous infringement
of the Customs' regulations has been committed, which
might have been attended with the most serious conse-
quences both to life and property. •
BOXIANA.—The contest for the championship, which
came off on Tuesday, between Professor Sayers and
Tipton Slasher, Esq., has set me thinking about the na-
tionality of the pastime, and bow easily it might be
proved that an Englishman was thoroughly a "boxer,"
independently of his pugilistic pretensions. When he is
first spoken of as a little "chatterbox," or " saucebox,"
boxes of toys, and, of 'course, a Jack-in-the-box, furnish
his amusements. In boyhood the summit of juvenile
felicity is attained when he becomes sole proprietor of
a " boxer" peg-top, obtained, perhaps, from the faces
tious uncle, who speaks of his head as a "knowledge-
box." A musical-box delights his ear, and for bringing
it down in his school-box, and making it play when
ho ought to work, many a box does the same ear
get in consequence. His first start from home is
likely to have been made on the " box-seat "of a coach,
by the side of a driver in a "box-coat," and using a
box-handled whip, and to economise his pocket money ho
has frequently contrived to "box Harry." If ho goes
to sea, he must box the compass ; in the army, he will
learn how much depends upon the cartridge-box," and in
the medical profession upon the " pill-box ; " while his
fame as a lawyer might often be traced direct to the
" witness-box " and the jury-box," when the recognition
of, his success is made by presenting him with a " box "
of some kind or other. His prosperity puts him
in possession of an " opera- box," a " hunting-
box," or a 46 shooting - box," in the vicinity of
Bexhill, or Boxmoor, or• reached by rail through
the Box Tunnel. The respectability of a neighbourhood
depends upon the amount dispensed in " Christmas
Boxes" (authorities Turncock and Postman), and the
true people's holiday is "Boxing-night." The ballot-box
is believed to be the panacea for all political grievances,
and the band-box is generally the source of all domestic
ones. Out of ,the " 'bacco-box" and the "snuff-box"
man derives his consolation. The happiness or misery
of each depends upon what he finds in his " letter-box;"
and the troubles that perplex his life only cease when he
is boxed up." Who, atter this, will doubt that all the
World's a box, and all the men and women merely boxers?
