camp. The following appeared in garrison orders
at Woolwich 'on 'Wednesday evening, issued by
Major-General Bloomfield:—
" Major-General illiams cannot take leave of the gar-
rison without offering to the commanding officers of corps,.
as well as to the officers, non-commissioned officers„ and
men under tliteir respective commands, his thanks for-the
manner in which. they have supported him in the 'main-
tenance of that discipline for which the garrison has always
been distinguished. The Major-General will carry with
him to his distant command the warmest wishes for the
welfare of those whom he has had the good fotune to com-
mand for so long a period."

WOUNDING A PARENT.—The COurt of Assizes of
the Charente Airco days ago tried a young man .named..
Gorin, of St. Wive, for cutting and wounding his parents.
It was proved that for a long series of • years he had been
in the "habit of brutally ill-treating-his mother, who unfor-
tunately was given to drink, and acting, ill towardii

father also when he tried to protect his wife against tha
young man's brutality. But they bore with him until 1856,
when, his savage conduct having exceeded all bounds, they.
complained to the pollee. The;s, were, however,
afterwards reluctant to appear against him, and Le
Prosecution was instituted. Emboldened by this circum-
stance, the young- man became worse than before, repeat-
edly striking his mother in the face, sometimes even with a
bottle, and throwing chairs at her ;, whilst he kicked an!l.
struck his father—on one occasion thrusting a lighted Me

die into his face. At length on the 4th September, last, '
neighbours of the. Gorins heard cries of c` Murder help :
