The RECALL OF IoRD NAPrER.-Tho
Washington correspondent of the Tribune
gives the secret history of the recall of Lord
Napier. He says, when Mr.. Russell was at
tached to the British Legation here and was
about to leave Washington, Mr.. Buchanan
sent for him and desired him to say to Lord
Malmesbury that Lord Napier was personally
very disagreeable to the government here.
and that he Mr.. Buchanan should be pleased
to see some other person in his place. The
President said that it was a delicate matter,
about which he did not wish to send formal
dispatch to London, but that he would rely
on Mr. Russell to transmit his request to the
British Foreign Minister As soon as Lord
Malmesbury was informed of the wish of the
President, he instantly recalled the obnoxious
Minister.

10 The City Hospital of Boston, which is
upon an island in the harbor, narrowly escap-
ed total destruction by fire on Sunday morn
ing last. The damage is estimated at from
$4,000 to 100000. Three boys, who were
inmates of the institution, confessed that they
were the incendiaries. Had not one of them
oversight himself, the match would have been
applied at midnight, in which case the build
ing would probably have been destroyed, and
more than one life have been lost.

last Friday was visited by mighty host Of
people from the whole region round about.
Thousands almost were here from Vermont,
where healthy public sentiment prohibits
such nusances, New Hampshire would do
we'll to copy her example. There was more
rum-drinking, drunkenness, and general
rowdyism, in Lebanon, on the occasion of
this circus, than the town has seen for five
years past, Indeed, our citizens have some
little need to look after the hard won roputa-
ton their town has hitherto enjoyed abroad
for temperance and good order generally We
iear the fine gold is in great danger Of be-
coming dim in spots As for these circuses,
their influence is bad, altogether bad,

The LATE ACCIDENT ON THE PASS. r. r..
The Caiedonian says No satisfactory clue
has yet been obtained to the perpetrators of
the fendish outrage of Aug. 9th. Several per-
sons have been arrested and examined, but
there was not evidence enough to warrant the
justice in binding any of them up. Enough
was brought to light to convince most per-
sons that this great crime had its foundation
in Intoxicating liquor. Young Pike is as
comfortable as could be expected, though his
suiterings have been most acute. He will be
a cripple for life.
The railroad Company have offered a re-
ward of $500 for the conviction of the per-
son or persons who caused all this trouble
