THE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.-Pro-
ceedings have been commenced by Caunt against the stake-
holder in this fight, to recover back his stake of 2001. The
action will be tried in the Court of Exchequer next term.
VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE MARQUIS OF
SALISBURY.-It is understood that her Majesty will pay her
long expected visit to the Marquis of Salisbury, at Hatfield
House, about the 11th or 12th of the ensuing month. Pre-
parations for the visit have been making on a magnificent
scale during the last few months. Thirty or forty German,
Italian, and Frenchartists havebeen engaged in embellishing
the principal apartments in the ancient and noble mansion of
Hatfield.—Hertford Mercury.
THE LATE AFFRAY AT HOUNSLOW BARRACKS.—

-----
We understand that Quartermaster Thomas Tarlton, who
was stabbed on Sunday week at Hounslow Barracks by
Lieutenant Martin Francis Kerwan, continues gradually to
recover, and that there is every reason to believe he will be
able to attend the next examination before the magistrates
at Brentford. Lieutenant Kerwan is still under arrest at
Hounslow Barracks, and will continue so until he is again
examined before the magistrates.
ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.-

An accident occurred on the above line on Thursday nigh
near the Paddock station, between Maidstone and Tunbridge.
It appears that about eight o'clock in the evening the usual
signal was given on the train approaching within a short dis-
tance of the above station. The signal, however, was an-
swered by the exhibition of the wrong lights, and the coif-
sequence was, that the train came in violent collision with
one of the engines which was lying upon the same rail. The
crash was heard by the passengers, and, as may be imagined,
created the utmost alarm among them. It fortunately, how-
ever, turned out that the only damage sustained was the
partial destruction of the engine.
ERUPTION OF MOUNT HECLA.—The Hamburgb
Borsen Halle, of the 7th inst.., contains the following com-
munication from Copenhagen, under date of Oct. 4 :—" The
English journals have already stated that the largest of the
Orkney isles was, during a violent storm from the north-
west on the night of the 2d ult., covered with fine ashes, re-
sembling ground pumice-stone ; and that it was thought
they had been driven by the wind from Mount Heels, in
Iceland, as similar appearances had been observed during
several years. We now learn that on the same or the follow-
ing night the crew of a vessel, bound to this port from llei-
kiavik, observed, whilst about eighteen English miles from
land, volcanic flames on the southern coast of Iceland. On
September 3, two vessels near the . Fawe Isles were also
covered with ashes. According to letters which have been
received here an earthquake occurred on the previous day
in the west, north, and east portions of Iceland. More re-
cent intelligence has arrived from the southern part, and
it appears that the eruption was a more violent one than
any that had taken place there during the last sixty years.
The latest accounts are of Sept. 15. They confirm the inte
theligence of a volcanic eruption in the southern part of_i
e
island on Sept. 2, the first since the memorable c7that oltysthe
iainhd
occurred nineteen years ago. The extent of tbe t"
and ashes is not yet known, but it is asceartvaeinned
ot been se-
populous districts adjacent to the volcantosnear the mountains
h
riously injured, except that the grass plo
were destroyed."
Mrs. Fitzwilliam has just concluded a highly suc-
ces,fol engagement at the new theatre at Glasgow. It was
her first visit there; the local press pronounce her to be one
of the greatest favourites that ever appeared in that city.
Her benefit on Friday evening was under the patronage of
1 the Lord Provost. She re-appears this evening at the
Adelphi Theatre in "The Green Bushes,"
