We find the following in the amstitutionnel :—" M. Des-
genettes, cure of _Notre Dame des Victoires, has thought fit
to entertain his parishioners with the triumph of the ultra-
montane party in Switzerland. It is not to force of num-
bers and the succour of the primitive cantons that he attri-
butes the success of the Government of Lucerne, but he de-
clares that it is to the prayers of the archi-confrtrie esta-
blished in his church that the people of Lucerne owe their
threefold victory over the free corps, and he invited his 2,000
hearers to join in singing a Te Deum for such a bril-
liant success. This cruel joy for the shedding of blood is nit
of our age."

A duel took place lately at Orleaneville, in Algeria, which
terminated fatally. An officer, in going on a mission to
Algiers, left his horse to M. Boissier, an interpreter, with
directions not to let any one whatever ride him. At Souil-
lard a lieutenant of artillery, a friend of the owner of the
horse, wanted to mount him, as he had often done before.
This was refused, and words arose, which terminated in a
challenge and meeting. M. Boissier fired first, and hit his
adversary in the centre of the chest. Ile latter returned
the fire, but without effect. He expired a few hours after.

Several chemists were fined at the Hammersmith Police-
court for selling medicated spirits without a licence. It
was admitted that the case was a hard one, and it was inti-

In order to recruit the funds of King's College Hospital,
which, unfortunately, have lately stood in need of extrane-
ous assistance, a osacert was given on Wednesday • evening,
at the residence ciltr. Royle, Bulsfrode-street, and there was
a full attendance of visitors; horn which it may be inferred
that the excellent object in view was realised. A variety of
artists contributed their services gratuitously, and most of
them were musicians of eminence, such, for instance, as
Mlle. Schloss, Herr Kroft; Madame Dulcken, Miss M. B.
Hawes, Signor F. Lablache, and others. The selection or
pieces was good, so that the concert itself wa. an attractive
one, independently of the circumstances which suggested it.

A meeting was held on Thursday of the inhabitants and

stairs, when his scull slipped and he fell into the river.
Goody had sunk twice, and upon his coining up the third
time lie was rescued by a waterman named John Fellowes,
life being apparently extinct, and was instantly conveyed to
the nearest surgeon's, where, after a considerable time, he
recovered, and was taken home in a cab, suffering greatly
horn exhaustion.

A GA AE OF CHESS B Y THE ELEC
'I'RIC TELEGRAPH.

On Wednesday and Thursday this novel experiment was
Tied on the South-Western Railway, with the most perfect
success, a strong proof of the accuracy with which the tele-
graph can be worked, and of the admirable system of .11essrs.
Wheatstone and Cooke. The games were played by Messrs.
Walker and Staunton, the former remaining at the Nine
Elms terminus, while the latter went down to Gosport, the
distance between the players being eighty-eight miles.
The plan taken by the players was to send down their
moves by numbers, the sixty-four chequers of the board
each representing a particular numeral. it was astonishing to
mark the rapidity with which the moves were transmitted
in this way, and messages sent backwards and h:rwards.
Five minutes was the time allowed between each move on
Thursday (though this arrangement was not very strictly
complied with) the time being noted from the period the
numbers were sent to the telegraph. The game on Wed-
nesday was, we believe, a very interesting one, and Occupied
from about four o'clock in the atternoGn till half-past ten.
Mr. Walker on this occasion came off victor. The game on
Thursday commenced at eleven, and had not terminated
at half-past five. Both games were what was called the
King's Bishops game, but, of course, there was less attempt
at showing skilful play than to exhibit the wonderful accu-
racy and rapidity of the means of communication. At the
opening, and for some time during the progress of the game
on Thursday, the advantage was certainly on the side of the
London players, but towards the conclusion Mr. Staunton
gained the best position. The two champions, we may ob-
serve, were assisted in the gamea—Mr. 'Walker by several
amateurs in London, and Mr. Staunton, we believe, by the
Portsmouth :Club. We subjoin:a considerable portion of Thurs.
day's game, which was by no means brilliant, but will, we
dare say, be regarded as a curiosity in its way as the first
game published played by means of the Electric Telegraph.
Mx. Walker played the white men, and had the move, and
Mr. Staunton the black :.
