INTELLECTUAL AMUSEMENT. On Tuesday, at Marl-
borough-street, two fashionably dressed young men, who
assumed the names of James Morley and Arthur Bradley,
were charged, the first with having wrenched off a knocker
from the door of 39, St. James's-street, and the last with
having rung several door bells violently. Morley was
fined £5, and Bradley 40s. The defendants paid the fine
and left the court.

The bank of Mr. J. Matthews, of Chipping Norton,
Oxon, has stopped payment, to the consternation of the
inhabitants of the surrounding country, who were totally
unprepared for such an event, Mr. Matthews being a man
of quiet habits, and in high credit amongst his neighbours.
The bank had been carried on formerly by his father, and
subsequently by himself, for more than forty years.
THE ARMY.—On Thursday orders were given to all
officers belonging to regiments in Ireland, on leave of
absence, to repair immediately to that country. Prince
George of Cambridge left London by the mail train that
night for Liverpool en route to Dublin, also the Marquis
of Worcester, to join the 7th Hussars.

On Wednesday week, an Irishman entered the shop of
a grocer at Ashbourne, Derbyshire, and solicited charity,
declaring that he was dying of hunger; but a customer
who was present doubted the truth of the beggar's asser-
tion, insisted on searching him, and found a fine shoulder
of mutton concealed under his coat.

The mrgistrates 'at Taunton have committed for trial
four labourers, who were engaged in clearing away some
hay from the banks of the Great Western Railway, and
who placed a truck on the line which was shortly after-
wards traversed by a train, and an alarming collision en-
sued, though fortunately no one was hurt.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—A little fishing schooner
was lying at one of our wharfs last week which deserves
notice. She was manned by a veteran crew, consisting of
Skipper Marshall, aged 78 ; his brother, aged 79 ; another
man, aged 76, and a " boy" 65. The vessel is

EFFECTS OF A FALSE REPORT.—In consequence of a
ridiculous report circulated in Birmingham that the guar-
dians of the poor were about to send a number of the
pauper children in the asylum to Australia, a large con-
course of persons assembled in front of that institution

on Wednesday week, and gave vent to great anger against
the parish authorities. They were repeatedly assured that
there was not the least foundation for such a report, but
the infuriated populace would not be satisfied, and the
result of this false rumour has been that nearly 100 chil-
dren, on the peremptory demand of their parents, have
been delivered up to them by the authorities, in two
days, thus considerably reducing the number of pauper
children in the Birmingham Asylum, which was much
