WHEN A MAN IS WOUND up.—An old author quaintly
remarks :—Avoid argument with ladies. In spinning
yarn among silks and satins a man is sure to be worsted
and twisted. And when a man is worsted and twisted he
may consider himself wound up.

ONE MORNING Sir Adam Ferguson called upon Sir
Walter Scott, and in the course of conversation informed
him that he had sat up till four o'clock with John Kemble
drinking wine and water. " Wine and water !" exclaimed
Scott in astonishment, who had,never suspected his friend
of being addicted to such thin potations. " Yes," replied
Sir Adam, " I drank the wine and he drank the water."
TICE FIRE AT MEMEL destroyed 3 churches, 5 schools,
9 public edifices, 256 private dwellings, 83 warehouses,
133 stable, 49 coachhouses, and 2 mills, valued at 848,000
thalers, exclusive of merchandise.

WANT OF CONFIDENCE.—At a Court of Aldermen, in
London, on Saturday, Alderman Sidney gave notice of his
intention to ask the Lord Mayor to call a special Court to
consider the following motion :—" That a dutiful address
be presented to Her Majesty, praying that :she will be
graciously pleased to remove from her councils the Right
Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen, who is no longer entitled to
public confidence ass the first Minister of the Crown, and
to place at the head of her Administration a constitutional
adviser whose opinions are in unison with the people at
this national crisis."

PAPER MArruipAcrunE.—A paper manufacturing com-
pany has been established in Western India, with respect
to which the Bombay Telegraph, after alluding to a
recent meeting of the shareholders, says,—" A gentleman
of considerable chymical attainments is to be engaged for
the purpose of testing the pulp producing properties of
both the aloe and the plantain tree ; and we learn that
Government have taken a warm interest in the enterprise,
and will most probably grant a site for the works either at
Callian or Tanna. There can be no doubt as to the
ultimate realisation of this scheme. The projectors are all
men of capital and enterprise, and we believe the majority
of the shareholders look rather to the certainty of pro-
spective, but permanent gains, than to the fluctuations of
speculative gambling."

THE COURT or ASSIZE of Versailles was occupied on
Tuesday and Wednesday in trying a girl named Goince,
aged between twelve and thirteens daughter of a baker of

.beil, for having poisoned her two sisters ;
and a woman named Ferron, of the samevillage, for having
aided her in the perpetration of the crime. The details
of the case were of a singularly' indecent character, and
accordingly the court went into them with closed doors.
The trial ended by the girl being acquitted on the ground
of having acted without discernment ; but she was ordered
to be detained in a house of correction until she should
attain her twentieth year. The woman was declared
guilty, and sentenced to death.—Paris Paper.

COLLISION AT SEA.—On Monday night (last week) two
sloops—the New Hope, Tow, master, and the Miss Smith,
Hughes, master—both bound from Glasgow to Runcorn,
with cargoes of pig iron, while endeavouring to avoid a
large vessel off the Calf of Man, came in collision with
each other, causing considerable damage to both vessels.
The crews got into one boat—abandoning the unfortu-
nate crafts—and, after being tossed about in the channel
for nearly 48 hours, were picked up during a gale of wind
about eight miles off Douglas Head, by the brig Grace, of
Harrington, and landed in Douglas Harbour. One boy
belonging to the abandoned sloop died immediately after
being taken on board the Grace, from fatigue and over-

exertion

DEATH Or A LARGE FUNDIFOLDER IN TILE WORIC-
IIOUSE.—An elderly female, who, on the 25th of August,
last, was taken to the workhouse of the Holborn Union,
having been run over by a cab in Liquorpond-street, has
just died in the institution. While in the workhouse no
information could be obtained from her concerning herself
or her friends, and all inquiries on these points made by
the officials of the union have proved unavailing. Her ap-
pearance bespoke her to be very poor, but from memoranda
found upon her since her death it appears that she is in
possession of funded property to the extent of about £5,000.
The sum of £5O was found upon her, the balance of which
sum, after payment of her funeral and other expenses,
will be handed over to the treasury in the event of none of
her friends coming forward to claim her property. The
name of " Miss Mary Bell" was written on a Stock note
found upon her, which is therefore supposed to be her
name.

Tun RUSSIAN PRISONERS Al+ LEWES,—Three of the
Russian officers who were on parole in this town, and
three of the privates who were, in the war prison took
their departure on Friday afternoon, for London, en route
for Russia, in exchange for English prisoners captured by
the enemy. The officers who have taken their departure
are Captain Von Essen, Captain Snellman, and Lieutenant
Pischulin, of the Imperial Horse Artillery, who were
taken at Bomarsund. A few days since one of the officers
on parole purchased one of Colt's revolvers of a gunsmith
in the town, and he subsequently received an order for
about a dozen more, but before executing it he consulted
a legal gentleman, and declined to supply them. These
circumstances became noised abroad in
.the town, and
eventually reached the ears of the local representatives of
the Government ; the result of which was that inquiries
were instituted as to the purchaser, and that having been
ascertained, the weapon was demanded from him and
taken.

THE MATRIMONIAL ASSOCIATION.-At Bow-street
Police-office, on Saturday, Mr. Edwards, hotel-keeper, of
Norfolk-street, Strand, who recently drew the attention
of the magistrates to the proceedings of the Matrimonial
Alliance Association, and who obtained a warrant against
the secretary, Lawrence Cuthbert, now waited upon his
worship to explain that, since he had laid the former
complaint, he had received a number of letters from all
parts of the country, from persons who complained of
having been victimised by the same society. One gentle-
man, at Colchester, stated that he had parted with £9O,
while other writers mention £25 and other sums as the
cost of their folly in entering upon the delicate negotia-
tions to which they were invited by the public circulars of
the "institution." Mr. Edwards placed some of the let-
ters before the magistrate, who said there was abundance
of law to meet such cases as these, if those who had
parted with their money thought fit to step forward and
prosecute.

FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION.—A collision occurred on
the Midland Railway, in the parish of Leicester, on Sa-
turday night. The Burton branch of this railway joins the
main line by a gentle curve, about half-a-mile to the south
of the Leicester station. About 40 minutes past eight
o'clock, a goods train from Burton for Leicester, and which
was due there at a quarter past six o'clock, was just pass-
ing along this curve on to the down rails of the main line,
when it was run into by the down passenger train, which
leaves Euston-square at four o'clock p.m., and is due at
Leicester at five minutes past eight. That part of the
goods train which was struck was much shattered, and
the engine of the passenger train was turned over on to
the up line of rails. The driver and fireman escaped un-
hurt, but seven passengers were shaken, cut, and bruised,
and one, a lady, has since died. She was a first-class pas-
senger, and was found insensible on the floor of the carriage
in which she was travelling. A surgeon at once adminis-
tered some stimulants, and she was removed to Cook's
Temperance Hotel, where she died early on Sunday.
From documents in her possession, it appears her name
was Robertson ; she had travelled from Dorkington to
London, and had a ticket from London for Derby. She
had a large quantity of luggage and books, and a con-
siderable sum of money in her possession.
