Oxford. the Potbov.

After twenty. seven years of confinement in a
criminal lunatic asy lum, during which his con-
duct has been exemplary, ana no traces have
appeared OF mental alteration, Oxford, the pot.
boy, who shot at her Majesty in ST. James Park,
has been liberated. During this time many
appeals have been made in his behalf by infu-
eniial persons who have had the opportunity of
watching his demeanor and gauging his char
acter. His own story has always been, and was
consistently from the first that the pistol which
he fred was not loaded. II will be remembered
that no bullet was ever found. He attributes
the criminal act which he has expiated by
long immurement, and which, under less
merciful Government. must have cost him his
life, to inordinate vanity, fostered by variety
of trivial circumstances In his domestic life aud
training on which we need not dwell, and which
led to a Eenseless desire to attain notoriety by
some means, ard this foolish and criminal
impulse led to his lamentable crime. He has
occupied his Iime in a certain amount of self
ee ucation, OF which the means have been
granted to him at BroRdmoOr and in the
asylum in which he was formerly confined
and has become tolerable linguist He has
also taught himself and practised 'grainng"
which he does sufficiently well to earn living.
He has been mercifully released. but has been
very properly prohibited from remaining in or
visiting England. Whether directly insane at
the time OF his otfense, or led by q miserable
love of notoriety, II is very right that the per-
son of the Sovereign should be protected from
the vanity Of a man who. at however distant q
period, could commit the cowardly ou rage OF
which he was the perpetrator.-BrittshM Medical

A Calcutta telegram of November 8 says
On the night OF Friday, the lst instant a
cyclone ragged in Bengal, extending, according
10 present information, from the Bay north
ward TO Serazum, westward to Midnapore and
BuTdwan, eastward TO Burnsaul and Dacca.
The rice crops throughout the track visited
by the cyclone are greatly injured. In many
places 1t is estimated that not one.fourth will
be saved. Many buildings have been destroyed,
as also boats on the inland rivers laden witt
jute and grain. Large quantities OF the growing
jute have also been destroyed. Great damage
has been done at Port Canning.
A stOrm-wave nearly six feet high carried
away portion of the river bank jetttes; the
railway is much injured and the station de-
stroyed.
At Calcutta the cyclone lasted nearly eight
hours. 1t is estimated that IL has done more
damage TO the city than the great cyclone of
October, 1864. In the city suburbs more than
1000 lives have been ascertained TO have been
lost, and 100000 native huts destroyed.
Tugs and other vessels have been wrecked at
Sangor. Several vessels are missing, and nu-
merous ships are returning disabled More than
six hundred native boats have been destroyed.

And when the crucibles discharged their seeth-

COPENHAGEN A GAMER BY THE LATE WAR
Some interesting facts are furnished in a re-
port by the British Vice. Consul at Copen-
hagen, on the trade and navigation of Copen-
hagen for the year 1866. He Says
"The number of ships of all nations that en-
tered th9t port from foreign ports during the
year 1866 was 1902, carrying l50, 1897 commercial
lasts of merchandise. On the other hand 47iS
ships, with 1888 commercial lasts OF cargo, left

cut, likewise engaged in the inland ira ie.
1.-The Danish merchant marine, in 1866, con-
sisted OF 364Y ships of burden OF so 39 com mmer-
cial lasts. The trade between Great Britain
and Copenhagen is larger than that of any
other. The number of English vessels that en-
tered the port of Copenhagen during the year
1866 was 7O9, of tonnage OF $4,000, OF which the
greatest number arrived direct from Great
Britain. On the other hand, l42 ships, of % OJO
tons, cleared from Copenhagen. Their cargoes
consisted OF Goals, sugar, and general cargoes
The provision trade with Great Britain was
formerly almost entirely monopolized by the
Altoona and Hamburg houses, but since the
war IL appears 10 have become localized In
Copenhagen.
commercial relations existing between the
latter and the great German marts of Altoona
and Hamburg, the tendency of the Danish COM
merce in general has been to centre In Copen-
hagen, which is now the only place in the
kingdom Offering those facilities, both local
and financial, SO necessary to the healthy de-
Velopment of industrial enterprise In these
respects, therefore, Copenhagen has been de-
cIeasing in Importance as a commercial empo-
