R.N., the principal medical attendant of Lord Viscount
Nelson on board the Victory. This gentleman has ad-
dressed a letter to the Earl of Haddington begging that
this national relic might be submitted to her Majesty,
and praying her royal acceptance. To the ball are at-
tached the particles of the coat and epaulette forced into
the body by the stroke, set within a crystal case, which is
mounted with a double cable of gold around its circum-
ference, and it opens like a watch. Lord Haddington
wrote in reply, begging Captain•Beatty to call on him at
the Admiralty, when his Lordship handed him a letter,
written by the Hon. George Anson, from Buckingham
Palace, stating that her Majesty would much like to pos-
sess the relic, and intimating that Windsor Palace
would be the proper place for its deposit.
SERIOUS ASSAULT.—At the Brentford Petty Ses-
sions, on Saturday, an omnibus conductor and coach-
man, named Frederick Alleston and William Limpus,
were fined, the former 40s. and 7s. costs, or one month's
imprisonment, and the latter 20s. and 7s. costs, or four-
teen days, for a most outrageous assault committed by
them in conjunction with Thomas Goddard, a horse
dealer (who did not appear to his summons), on the per-
son of a Pole, named Tlesah Kowski. It appeared that
the complainant was riding on the defendant's omnibus,
on Thursday, the 27th ult., and Goddard and Alleston,
while Limpus held his hands, rubbed him over the
head, face, and neck, with " cow-itch," from the effects
of which his skin was in a state of high inflammation,
and much blistered and raised. The Bench said it was
one of the most outrageous cases, and they should fine
the defendants in the utmost sum that the law allowed.
A warrant was issued against Goddard.
GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.—A rumour is afloat
that, in consequence of the' difference between 'Mr.
Miles and the Government on the Sugar Duties Bill, the
Bristol Tory party have unexpectedly found themselves
denuded of local patronage. This may be true, or it
may not ; but it may be stated, in part confirmation of
the correctness of the report, that the office of weigher
at the Custom-house, Bristol, has been filled up, on the
recommendation of the Member for Shrewsbury, by a
native of that town ; and that a native of Brighton' has
been appointed to the office of tide-waiter here, on the
recommendation of one of the Members for ,Brightort.
The appointments are not, certainly, of much import-
ance, but "straws thrown up show which way the wind
blows."—Bristul Mercury.
LIVERPOOL FRIDAY.—The man who committed
so many horrible atrocities on board the Saladin, ac-
counts of which have been published in all the papers,
was well known in Liverpool. His wife lives here at
present, and has been a resident of the town for some
years. They did not reside together for a long time
past ; but he allowed her 9s. a week, which she received
at the parish office. Upon being made acquainted with
his tragical deeds on board the Saladin, she manifested
little or no surprise, as she had often been subjected *to
ill-treatment at his hands ; but she expressed much con-
cern at hearing of the fate of her unhappy sort, who, it
will be reoollected, was thrown overboard eater the
father.
RAILWAY TRAVELLING TO LIVERPOOL.—SeveraI
correspondents of the Times have been complaining, withisi
the last few days, of the arrangements of the Grand Junction
Company, which render it impossible fora second-class pm-,
senger to go through from London to Liverpool without
stopping: One of them states that, start from Etiston-square
what time he may, he must remain for hours in Birmingham,'
unless he consents to pay first class fare on the Grand Jiinc-
tiou line. The conduct of the Birmingham Comptany angt •
of the Great Western, who have many second-class tntinak
is contrasted with that of the Grand Junction, who have buts
two—one at 6 o'clock in the morning, the other at 4 o'clock in •
the afternoon. It is a great pity that this cause of reproach
has not long since been removed. We are satisfied that it
would tend to the pecuniary advantage of the Grand Junction
Company to make au alteration.—Railway Record.
An accident, which has proved fatal in its results',

Theatre, on Friday night. The boy was engaged in at-
tending to a water piece, entitled the Water Fiend, in--
which there is a large fall of water,. Ile was carried
over the fall, and in descending received such injuries aSt
caused his death on Saturday night.
Preparations are in progress to commence the
Whitehaven and Maryport Railway immediately.
