BLASPHEMY.—A cause is pending before the Prussian
tribunals, in which a party is charged with blasphemy, on
account of irreverent language uttered against the person
of Christ. The first court convicted him ; the Court of
Appeal reversed the sentence, on the ground that Christ
and God were not identical. and the offence, therefore,
not against God, but only against the society of Christians.
This decision has also been appealed from, on the ground
that Christ is one with God. The tribunals before which
the question is pending, are the usual tribunals of civil
and criminal jurisprudence.
THE CURRENCY IN FRANCE.—The report of the com-
mission appointed by the French Chamber to consider the
question of the gold currency, recommending no altera-
tion to be made in the standard, has been generally ap-
proved of by those persons here who must be considered
the most competent judges on such a question. It is
consequently expected that the conclusion come to by the
commission will be acted upon by the assembly, which
will doubtless have considerable influence in allaying the
apprehensions which have arisen out of the course pur-
sued by the governments of Holland and Belgium.
DISASTERS ON THE AMERICAN LAKES.—An American
paper publishes a detailed statement showing the loss of
life and property on the Lakes during the past year. The
vessels which n.et with disasters were 31 steamers, 9
propellers, 2 barques, 34 brigs, 88 schooners, and 6 scows
—in all, 170. The loss of property was—on steam-boats
265,710 dols. ; on propellers 30,444 dols. ; on sail vessels
262,782 dols. ; total, 558,936 dols. Ten steam-boats, 21
sailing vessels, and probably 1 propeller, were entirely lost ;
the remainder were only partially damaged. The loss of
life was 395, of which 375 were on board steamers, and 20
on sailing vessels.
ASSASSINATION AND FEARFUL RETRIBUTION.—A
short time since a young gentleman of York left this
=country for California, and on the 30th October last he
was cruelly murdered at a place named Humboldt, having
fallen pierced with fourteen wounds by the Indians. His
companion, Mr. Sproxton (son of the incumbent of Trin-
ion, Durham), with his own hands dug a grave and
buried him. He then headed a party in pursuit of the
assassins, and poor Fryers' murder was avenged by the
death of eighteen of his murderers. Mr. J. J. Fryer was
the eldest son of the late Mr. Fryer, of this city, proctor.
York Herald.
GERMAN MARRIAGES.—A young sailor, owner of
freehold farm in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, had a
sweetheart, promised to marry her, and left her when she
proved to be enceinte by him. He took to sea again,
after having made arrangements for the sale of his farm,
the proceeds of which he wished to be forwarded to New
'York, where he finally intended to settle. Upon this the
unfortunate girl made an application to the Amtmann of
the district, with a view of stopping the sale of the pro-
perty on which she thought to have a lien on behalf of
her unborn infant. That functionary advised her to
petition the Consistory for a (Walla, or mandamus, to
summon faithless Jack to return forthwith and fulfil his
promise of marriage. She not only obtained the manda-
mus, but much more—indeed, more than she could
rationally expect. inasmuch as the Consistory did what Jack
bad neglected to do—they made her a wife. That high
ecclesiastical tribunal, with more than a due considera-
tion of the circumstances of the case, issued a decree by
which Jack and his sweetheart were proclaimed a married
couple, and the child, which was still unborn, declared
legitimate and heir to the farm of its absent father.
PUFFING IN FRANCE.—A curious specimen of what
mar be called the nueurs littiraires of this country was
• exPosed, a few days ago, before a court of justice, in the
course of some squabble between two tradesmen. Leon
Gozlan, well known to the public as a dramatist, lately
received a commission for the feuillefon of one of the
daily newspapers. He immediately drew up a detailed
account of the plot he intended to employ, with descrip-
tions of the principal scenes and incidents. He then
charged an advertisement agent to carry this document
round to the principal tradesmen, and in his name to pro-
pose to them (of course for a consideration) to introduce
their names and addresses, with puffs on their wares, in
particular places. •klis arospectus ran somewhat in this
way :—" Chapter 1. Marriage of the hero and heroine.

Mr. Sydney S. Bell, of the Chancery Bar, is appointed
to the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court at the
Cape of Good Hope. Mr. Bell will be the second judge,
Mr. 'Musgrove, the present second judge, succeeding to
Mr. Menzies as First Puisne Judge of the Court.
The Judges have at length come to the important de-
termination, in all cases wherein applications are made to
them to admit to bail persons committed for trial on cri-
minal charges, to order the depositions taken by the com-
mitting magistrate to be pr ced before them by the ma-
gistrate's clerk, so that t may be read as part of the
proceedings.
In the Tewkesbury County Court, on Monday, an action
was brought by a man, named Hale, to recover from Mr.
Feargus O'Connor, as chairman of the National Land
Company, a sum of money paid for two shares in the
company, from which he had not derived any benefit.
The Judge decided that the plaintiff had only bought a
share in a lottery, and it was very unreasonable that he
should expect his money back because he was not lucky
enough to win a prize. Judgment was given for the de-
fendant, the Judge observing that both parties had broken
, the law.

THE " CONDOR" FOR AUSTRALIA.

No one could have been present at the sailing of the
Condor on Thursday, and have felt indifferent to the pas-
sing scene. The obler affections are as easily moved by the
contemplation of happiness, as are the impulses naturally-
excited by depicted poverty ; and hence, when this mighty
ship moved slowly from the dock, her decks crowded with
well-dressed English labourers raising their voices in a
deep " hurrah," it was evident that feelings of joy and
hope had gained the ascendancy ; and though they were
leaving the land of their nativity, so greatly has the sys-
tem of Australian emigration improved in character, they
seemed to deem the ship a temporary but comfortable
home. All on board was life and bustle : pleasure was
expressed in every countenance.
The cabins are excellently arranged. The main cabin,
which is beneath a lofty poop, is very roomy. The after-
part forms a saloon, lighted from the quarter-deck, and
by stern ports. Down each side there are rows of excel-
lent state-rooms. The forward part is appropriated to a
ladies' cabin, captain's room, steward's pantry, gunroom,
and dispensary. With an extreme beam of 35 feet, all
these are of course comparatively large apartments, ex-
cellently furnished with every requisite. Amidship, for-
ward of the main hatch. is an extensive deck-house, ap-
propriated to galleys and other purposes required ; for in
these ships passengers are provided with all provisions,
properly cooked, which to those unaccustomed to sea is
no small desideratum.
The Condor is a full-rigged ship, tauntly sparred and
beautifully modelled. Indeed, she completed her last
outward passage in 98 days to Port Philip—a fact
that demonstrates her rapid sailing qualities. Her bur-
then is about 1500 tons ; her length, 162 feet. With the
exception of a store-room aft, the whole of her lower
deck is appropriated to second-cabin and steerage emi-
grants. Excellent state-rooms, containing for the most
part single berths, are erected. Some few rooms have,
however, been constructed for families, all of whom were
apparently most happy. It may be truly said that laws
are not made for the honest. While the Emigration Act
compels the allowance of 14 superficial feet for each pas-
senger, the firm to which this ship belongs have most
liberally given an average of 27 feet each, and this exclu-
sive of the space appropriated for water-closets, 84a.
The Condor is a choice British-American ship, con-
structed exclusively for the Australian trade, and she is
now on her second voyage. Her timbering is immensely
heavy ; her fastenings through and through are asnume-
rous as necessary, if not more so ; and every attention has
been paid to ventilation in both ship and passengers. No
recent improvement, that could add to the comfort of the
voyagers by any of the line of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and
Co.'s vessels, appears to be neglected ; and they merit no
small degree of credit' for a liberality and spirit that will
tend materially to increase the trade to our greatest colo-
nial possession. She is commanded by Captain Daly, a
gentleman whose character is duly pictured in the testi-
monial with which he was presented, and Whichlwe inserted
last week. We wish her ,every success : " May
God speed the ship "
