7IIE UNPUNC7 UAL GUES7.

He is asked for seven ; at half-past seven or a
quarter to eight, in he comes, with a happy smile
on his face, as if he had struck the very point of
time, and knew nothing of such vulgar annoyances
as chilled soup or sodden entritas. If he can say
that he missed the train, he is quite at ease with
himself and all mankind; if he can further say that
a man came in and kept him that is reason enough
and to spare for being too late for heaven. It never
seems to occur to him that it was part of his duty
not to be too late for the train—and that if any
man whatsoever came in, his first obligation
was to send him out again when the fitting moment
for departure arrived. He can give no valid rea-
son why he should have been late. His chief duty
was to keep his dinner engagement punctually,
and all the rest is merely excuse, of no real
value to any one. I have known a man of this
kind, asked for seven, come in jauntily at nine.
lie had a patient, timid hostess, who had counted
on him as a tower of strength, being a man with
a presence and a jovial manner, and an abundant
atmosphere, and a generous vitality, and who,
therefore, was of considerable value to the young
dinner-giver. She waited for her tower just one
hour and five minutes by the clock. When another
half hour had passed he entered with the air of aprince
coming to his throne, and coolly accepted the offer of
such meats and dishes as had long ago been accepted
as accomplished facts. He said he had been kept;
further, that he had missed the train ; and he had
not the shadow of remorse so soon as he had made
his excuse. The distress of the young hostess, her
anxiety lest her dinner should be spoilt and her
guests set out of tune, the fiercer annoyance
of the host, careful of his bride and sp3ciallY
desirous that her trial dinner should succeed,
the discomfiture of the people whose places be
had already deranged and now again shifted--
all this was of no more consequence to that Inn'
punctual guest than so many drops of rain fall-
ing gently on the back of a sailing swan. I 8111
bound to confess that my friend is notorious for
this kind of thing. He is the best fellow in the,
world, frank, warm, and generoug, a faithfu'
friend, and kind and noble-hearted in- all his re'
lations, but he is unpunctual. You west
give him a margin of perhaps some hours in all your
appointments with him, and then think yourself
lucky if you get him at the end. He makes it ft
practice to begin to dress at the hour of invitattent
and he lives half a dozen miles from everywhere.'

CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.

Robert Hall was indicted for the wilful murder o:
Wiliam Johnson.

The evidence showed that the prisoner was the
deputy keeper of a lodging-house in Desneey-s!reet,
Southwark, and that the deceasA was a lodger.
On the evening in qiestion the deceased came home
in a state of intoxication and commenced quarrel-
ling. rnd eventually a struggle took place between
prisoner and Johnson. The latter fell to the ground
from a wound inflicted with a knife. The prisoner
ran out of the house, and; in doing so was seen to
throw a knife away. The wounded man was seen
by a medical man, but he very soon expired. The
wound was the cause of death.

The jury found the prisoner guilty of man-
slaughter, and the learned Judge sentenced him to
18 months' imprisonment.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills

At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold

DEATH OF DEAN MILMAN.—The Rev. Dr. Mil-
man, dean of St. Paul's, died yesterday afternoon. The
great bell of the Cathedral tolled for upwards of an hour
to- day.
NEW NAMES FOR THE NAVY.—It seems generally
admitted that the monstrous ships which lately have been
aided to the navy are by no means worth the monstrous
sums of money we have paid for them. Our big men-of-war
iu armour, which cost half a million each, are said to be as
useless and unhandy in a sea-way as the obioleto old men in
armour who adorn a Lord Mayor's Show. Yet still we go
on building them, and naming then the Hercules, the Irre-
sistible, and so forth; as if the use of strong words for their
christening would suffice to prove their strength. Would it
not be wiser to call a spade a spa le, and to name our naval
failures in a way that at a glance should d?signat3 their
worth ? When we launch the broadside iron-clads which
now aro in construction, instead of calling them by names
such as the Powerfal, the Valiant, the Dauntless, or the
Thunderer, let us christen them the Wasteful, the Ex-
travagant, the Useless, or the Blunderer. There is small
doubt that the navy will be always dear to England; but
that, pecuniarily speaking, it is dearer than it ought to be,
the doubt is smaller still. Nanl39 such as we suggest
might possibly awaken publip notice to this fact, and by
calling ships the Costly, the Gander, or the Jackass, we
should identify them faithfully with blundering authori-
ties, who sanction the construction and leave us to pay
their Ogg—Punch.

go perpetually bathinglin Arabic baths, being, in
fact, nearly boiled to death by the famous process

With respect to the conduct of Mr. Haynes he could
not speak in too severe terms, and the jury no doubt
would estimate at its proper value the testimony he
had gilien. His learned friend had at great length
and with great eloquence defended the character of
the two young ladies, daughters of the prisoner,
and asked the jury whether they would be
prepared to convict them of perjury. Well,
he (Mr. Sergeant Ballantine) thought they
would if they were proved to have committed it.
With all due deference to his learned friend, he
had to say that in the whole of his experience he
had never met with two young ladies who had told
so many untruths in so short a time. The learned
sergeant concluded an able address, and trusted
that the jury would find the prigoner guilty.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr then proceeded t) charge
the jury, but the verdict is not expected until a very
late Lour.

THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.

-- O-

(REUTER'S TELEGIUMS.)
MADRID, Sept. 23.
The insurgents are concentrate I near Seville.
They have abandoned Cordova.
General Novaliches has arrived at Mengibar, iu
the province of Jean, south of the Sierra Morena
mountains. General Calonge is marching on San-
tinder. The insurgents have cut the railway com-
munications. At Grenada the people commenced
firing upon the troops, but were vanquished after
two hours' fighting.

It is reported that a rising has taken place at
Ceuta, and that great agitation prevails in Sara-
gossa.
Armed bands have appeared in La Mancha, and
the people have commenced joining them.
The insurgents in Andalusia are provided with
munitions of war, money, and provisions.
The ironclad frigate Victoria arrived before the
town of Corunna and demanded its surrender. The
Government authorities, however, refused to com-
ply. Almost the whole of the Spanish fleet is now
in the hands of the insurgents, who are expected to
effect a landing in Catalonia.
The Queen has not yet arrived at Madrid. It is
said that in the last extremity she will take refuge
in the citadel of Pampeluna, near the French fron-
tier. Count Girgenti has left for Andalusia at the
head of his regiment. A great review has been held
at Madrid to-day.

A LADY ORATOR.

Mrs. Fellowes, the wife of the member for Huntinggon:
shire, returned thanks for the ladies, proposed by General
Peel at the Huntingdonshire agricultural dinner. The
speech was as follows :—" Gentlemen, in responding on
behalf of the ladies present, I have to thank very cordially
my right hon. and gallant friend General LPeel, for
proposing, and you for receiving, the toast so kindly, for
two causes: first, that my own name is specially mentioned
in the toast ; and secondly, that here atßamsay, at my own
loved home, ladies have for the first time been invitedte join
in your festive meetings. By your reception of us this day
I gather that you like to see us here. I can assure
you one and all that we take the liveliest interest in
everything that concerns agriculture, and we have done
our best to give you here a warm and hearty reception.
I hope this will not be the last time that the Huntingdon-
shire agricultural meeting will be held at Ramsey. Once
more I tender you our grateful thanks." Mrs. Fellowes
was enthusiastically cheered by the farmers.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma; and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, laid., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--Uri Tuesday night, on
the banks of the Clyde, ab)ut a mile below Glasgow, a
cab, with two occupants, a man and a woman, while being
driven along the narrow river road close to Govan Ferry,
was by some inexplicable mishap thrawn into the water at
a point whore it is very deep. An alarm was at once raised
by those who witnessed the occurrence, and a neighbour-
ing ferryman hastened to the spot in a small boat.
flo
arrived just in time to save the driver, who was on the
point of sinking through exhaustion. But cab, horse, and
faros had all disappeared under water. In a short time,
however, several constables arrived on the spot, and the
cab was dragged for and raised. The body of the woman
was found inside, but her companion's body had disap-
peared. Tho search was continued all night, but it was not
till next forenoon that the other body was found at some
distance from where the accident occurred. The horse
was killed and the cab randered entirely useless. The
driver, who, besides his ducking, was severely injured,
was sent to the Royal Infirmary. The exact cause of the
Laccicilat ip not )inowia.

He is asked for &Nen ; at half-past seven or a
quarter to eight, in he comes, with a happy smile
on his face, as if he had struck the very point of
time, and. knew nothing of such vulgar annoyances
as chilled soup or sodden entrées. If he can say
that he missed the train, he is quite at ease with
himself and all mankind; if he can further say that
a man came in and kept him that is reason enough
and to spare for being too late for heaven. It never
seems to occur to him that it was part of his duty
not to be too late for the train—and that if any
man whatsoever came in, his first obligation
was to send him out again when the fitting moment
for departure arrived. He can give no valid rea-
son why he should have been late. His chief duty
was to keep his dinner engagement punctually,
and all the rest is merely excuse, .of no real
value to any one. I have known a man of this
kind, asked for seven, come in jauntily at nine.
He had a patient, timid hostess, who had counted
on him as a tower of strength, being a man with
a presence and a jovial manner, and au abundant
atmosphere, and a generous vitality, and who,
therefore, was of considerable value to the young
dinner-giver. She waited for her tower just one
hour and five minutes by the clock. When another
half hour had passed he entered with the air of a prince
coming to his throne, and coolly accepted the offer Of
such meats and dishes as had long ago been accepted
as accomplished facts. He said he had been kept;
further, that he had missed the train ; and he bad
not the shadow of remorse so soon as he had made
his excuse. The distress of the young hostess, her
anxiety lest her dinner should be spoilt and her
guests set out of tune, the fiercer annoyance
of the host, careful of his bride and specially
desirous that her trial dinner should succeed,
the discomfiture of the people whose places he
had already deranged and now again shifted--
all this was of no more consequence to that Pre
punctual guest than so many drops of rain fall-
ing gently on the back of a sailiug swan. I all'
bound to confess that my friend is notorious for
this kind of thing. He is the best fellow in the
world, frank, warm, and generous, a faithfel,
friend, and kind and noble-hearted in all his 0;
lations, but he is unpunctual. You must
give him a margin of perhaps some hours in all yeti',
appointments with him, and then think yourself
lucky if you get him at the end. Ile makes it a
practice to begin to dress at the hour of invitations
and he lives half a dozen miles from everywhere."

IVI.R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga-
tun,. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the- originntsmay the closest observer; they
will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support
and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren-
dered sound and useful in mastication.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.--
Thos. Deaton, a costermonger, was brought before
Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting George
Franklin, a police constable, No. 162 11, in the
execution of his duty.
The complainant stated that at half-past 8 last
evening he was on duty at the Whitechapel end of
the Commercial-road, and saw the prisoner, who
was intoxicated, making a disturbance in front of
the Boundary Tavern, at the corner of Back
Church-lane. The prisoner wanted to go into the
house. The landlord of the Boundary Tavern re-
fused him admittance. The prisoner swore and
raved loudly, and he endeavoured to pacify him,
and told him to go home. The prisoner refused to
do so, made use of very foul language, gave him
two kicks on the shin, and lay down on the ground.
He endeavoured to raise the prisoner, who plunged,
kicked, and struggled violently, and tore the
skin off his hands. Some tradesmen passing ren-
dered valuable assistance, and the prisoner was
secured.

Mr. John Hunt, gunmaker, of Leman-street,
\Vhitechapel, said that he saw the officers struggling
on the ground v,i".,11 the prisoner, who was guilty of
extreme violence, and said if he had an opportunity
he would kick the policeman and --. Mr. Hunt
added that the prisoner called upon the bystanders
to rescue him, but no one responded to the call, and
it was gratifying to be able to state that the trades-
men came forward with great alacrity to assist the
constable.

Mr. Paget—l am very glad to hear it.
The prisoner said he was drunk, and did not
know what he was about.

Mr. Paget was determined to protect the police.
The assault was a most atrocious one. He sen-
tenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment
and hard labour.

* This filly was entered as Vietorieuse' with her pedi-

in the Book Calendar of Races Past as Victorieuse IL
Her name has not been changed, and the figure was added
to identify her with the filly running in France as Vic-
torieuse 11. There is a regulation in France which re-
quires that horses of the same name shall be distinguished
in the Bulletin Official, by a number denoting the order in
which they have received the name, but as there is no
such regulation in England, she is hero properly described
as Victorieuse.

THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.

NAPLES, Jan. 9.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius continues to be
serious. Lava is slowly accumulating in the direr.
tion of Torre del Greco. Shocks of earthquake
were distinctly felt during the last two nights.
The sismograph is still agitated.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Jan. 10.

The Presse of this morning says that, during his
recent tour in this capital, General Ignaticff took
the opportunity of expressing himself to several
diplomatists in a peaceful sense as to the policy of
Russia on the Eastern question.
The same paper states that the British Consul at
Belgrade presented a note to the Serviau Govern-
ment on the 26th December, recommending it to
maintain a pacific attitude.

It is alleged that the Austrian and Hungarian
delegates about to assemble shortly will have a
Red Book laid before them by the Government,
consisting of diplomatic documents dating from the
war of 1866, and including the latest negotiations
in the Eastern and Roman questions.
A rumour is current that Baron John, the War
Minister for the Empire, will resign his post prior
to the meeting of the delegates, for reasons con-
nected with the position of the defence of the
country.
