While wandering about the passages she was pounced upon by @ policeman ant placed at the bar, when two constabes swore that she was woman named Mcclure, who to their personal knowedge, had been guilty of breach of the peace. The unfortunate prisoner, whose real name was Mcleod and who had been guilty of no offence whatever, was SO bewilderedby her unlocked for position that she WAS incapable of offering any defenc. against her accusers, and her guilt being there fore taken for granted. she was convicted and duly fined ten shillings. with the alternative of five days imprisonment.

Important bills have passed the legislature which will have tendency. we trust, to pre- vent those annoying delays which. more per- haps than the expenses of litigation, have de lured prudent people from bringing lawsuits. Now, the costs of a suit depend largely upon the time case remains in court. The win. ming party gets twenty-five cents a day at tendance for each day the court is in sessou between the time of bringing his suit and the time of it's trial. If terms of court are thirty or forty days long, bills of cost. made up in this way, become quite heavy. The law jus, passed changes all this. The winning party fecovers but ten dollars cost of attendance and he recovers this whether his cause is a short or d long time in court A like law re duces the clerks fee to three dollars on each case, which may be demanded before it is en. tered upon the docket. Ltigants, therefore, will not hereafter allow cases to lie long on the docket, in the hope of recovering large bills of cost The lawyers term fee ought also to be discontinued, as it largely depended upon this fee for constructive attendance for such justin. cation as it may have.

 The careful surveys of two months past have considerably changed the termini of the proposed Panama canal. The mouth of tn. Mindi River is now approved as. the entrance n the Atlantic, and the Rio Grande entrance nn this side will, it is said. be abandoned for the small bay on the north side of the city, where the Panama Railroad wharf is situated. Two important considerations counsel the la, ter change. It will reduce by one-half the submarine excavation required, while the formation through which the land work will pass is much softer than that along the banks of the Rio Grande
