AVe understand that the Trustees of Workington Harbour
are about to insert some stained glass in the lanthorn on
John's Pier, in order that it may be the more readily dis-
..

tinguished from the numerous lights between St. Bees Head
and Maryport. At present the only distinguishing light is
the stationary revolving one at the entrance of Whitehaven
harbour. The projected alteration in the lanthorn on John's
Pier will form half a circle of stained class, and will be seen
all along the coast from St. Bees Head, and seaward up to
Salterness on the Scotch side of the Frith.

M ACNAUGHTEN.—Since the postponement of the trial of
the prisoner Macnaughten, he has evinced the same calm-
ness and self-possession which has characterised his demea-
nour, with few exceptions, ever since the fatal occurrence.
He occupies the same cell in the gaol of Newgate, and his
time is principally occupied in reading works of a religious
character. He does not appear to be at all affected by the
awful position in which he is placed, and his demeanour
seems to be that of a man conscious of having committed a
desperate act and prepared for the consequences; at least
such appears to be the opinion of the officers of the gaol.
He is under strict surveillance, in order that there may be no
possibility of his doing any violence to himself, and Mr.
M'Murdo, the medical officer of the prison, who has had
very great experience in cases of monomania and insanity, is
in constant attendance upon the prisoner, and there is very
little doubt that his evidence will be most important at' the
trial, where the only question that will be raised is the sanity
or insanity of the accused. Immediately after the postpone-
ment of the trial by Lord Abinger, communications took
place between Mr. Humphreys, the prisoner's attorney, and
the solicitor to the Treasury, and arrangements were made
to furnish the necessary funds for the prisoner's defence, the
receipt for £750 lodged in the Glasgow Bank, that was taken
from the prisoner, being still retained by the crown solicitor
in order to its being produced at the trial. Agents have been
since despatched to Boulogne, and also to Glasgow, and dif-
ferent parts of Scotland where the prisoner has resided at
different periods of his life; and it is said that a number of
witnesses have been brought forward who will be able to give
material evidence as to the state of the prisoner's mind, and
with a view to show that at the time he committed the act
imputed to him he was not in a condition of mind to be able
to distinguish between right and wrong. The next session
of the Central Criminal Court will commence on the 27th
instant ; and it is generally understood that the trial will take
place on the Wednesday, which is the first day of the Queen's
judges taking their seats on the bench.

SINGULAR OUTRAGE.—On Saturday night last, a stout
man, well dressed in black, about thirty years of age, called
at the bar of the Royal Exchange, Glasgow, and inquired of
one of the attendants whether the rooms were opened on
Sunday, and whether he could next morning be supplied
with writing paper and a steel pen. On being told that the
rooms were opened on the sabbath, and that he should have
the articles wanted, he went away. Next morning he again
calleU, according to appointment, when he commenced by
exclaiming, " You have opened this place to day, and the
whole of you will be sent to hell !" The intruder nest stated
that he had come to take down the names of all those who
frequented the place on the sabbath. On being asked whe-
ther he was a subscriber, he replied that he was not; and he
was then informed that he had no right whatever to come
there or to take down any gentleman's name. He then got
rather outrageous, and gave the grate a violent kick with his
foot, when he was thrust to the door. It seems that he next
proceeded to the Old Coffee-room, where:he asked Mr.
Buchanan if he really opened upon the Sunday? On being
told he might see they did, he exclaimed, " Oh, you are all a
parcel of knaves and fools. Those that opened these bars
(pointing to the windows,) have shut the gates of heaven
upon themselves!" He then went off. Yesterday fore-
noon, were rather surprised by' a decent-looking man
calling at this office and requesting to know whether
we were friendly to the opening of the Royal Ex-
change on Sunday? Getting suspicious immediately, we
at once asked our visiter whether be was not the person who
had entered the Exchange with a weapon in his hand on Sun-
day? This was instantly replied to by his pulling a knife
from his pocket, which he described as " a flaming sword !"
In a quiet way we took possession of the instrument, while
we argued with the man on the gross impropriety of his
conduct. This only served to convince us of his complete
insanity on the question at issue, and of the danger of having
such a man going at large. After returning him his weapon,
wrapped up in a piece of paper, he left this office and pro-
ceeded towards Queen-street, where he went into a shop.
Among the rhapsodies uttered by him when in this office, he
declared that " if any of those who attend the rooms had
shops or other property the vengeance of God would reach
them—his duty was to g 6 and take down names, and if not
listened to with a knife, he should know what to do."—Glaa-
gow Constitutional.
