the Liverpool AssiZes on November IA,
BETSY Wardle was charged with bigamy.

THE proposed discussion on the posi-
! biIity of establishing a universal time by
selecting a meridian common to all ma
! tions has gwen rise tc many suggestions
more or less valuable. One Of these, pub
lished in the "JournaI Of the Society Of
! Arts" is, that the simplest way of eX-
pressing this universal time would be by
/ using Roman figures; while the civil time
would be expressed by Arabic numerals,
followed by large II for the morning
! hours, and a small one for those OF the
evening. In fact, the hour would be eX-
pressed in a manner similar to that in use
| among the Russians for designating the
/ old and new styles in dates. In the same
manners as they say 16 % June, the rail
way timetable would say, Arrived at
