AN INFURIA.TED Btril.—A few days since, much con.
sternation was caused in the neighbourhood of Pentonville
and Islington (London), by the breaking away from its
drivers of an infuriated bull. After doing much injury,
though not of a serious nature, after a two hours' run, he
was finally captured, and carefully secured.
BOYLE v. WISEMA.N.—In the Court of Exchequer, on
Thursday, Mr. James obtained a rule to show cause why
the nonsuit in this case should not be set aside, on the
ground that the Chief Baron had improperly rejected
secondary evidence of the letter to the Alb& Cunyard in
which Cardinal Wiseman was alleged to have admitted
being the author of the libel in the Univers.

MiTNIFICENT LEGACY.-At a meeting of the Consump-
tion frospital at Brompton, the treasurer announced a
bequest of £5,000 from the late Mrs. Wilson, of Eaton-
square. It was added that, the hospital being entirely
dependent upon voluntary contributions, such bequests
were of infinite importance in maintaining and extending
the usefulness of the charity.

POPIILA.RITT.—The Emperor and Empress of the
French have been in such danger of being smothered with
flowers and petitions when they ride abroad, that the
prefect of police has been compelled to issue a proclama-
tion against throwing bouquets and letters into the im-
perial carriages, but every facility is to be afforded for
bringing petitions under the eye of the Emperor.
TICE MEDICINE—AS BEFORE.—On Sunday afternoon
the police in Glasgow discovered an apothecary selling
whisky, slightly medicated, to customers shut out from
the public-houses by Forbes Mackenzie's Act. The liquid
was poured out of a medicine-glass, and the phials or other
vessels brought by the purchasers were carefully labelled

cially having many admirers. Several books have already
been opened on the next Chester Cup, and some little
business done, at extreme odds. Latest prices :
