BRUTAL MURDER.  A shocking murder was perpetrated at Dipton, an extensive colliery village, three miles from Consett, in the county of Durham. on Saturday. Hugh baley, a married man, returned hone drunk between five and six o'clock in the evening. After partaking of some food he was assisted into bed by his wife and a neighbour. Subsequently, Philip Burdy, a single man, entered Dalers house, and immediately afterwards, Daley, who had part of his clothes off, jumped out of bed and picked up a heavy iron poker. Burdy ran outside, but was followed by Daley, who dealt him a violent blow on the head. After delivering the blow Daley returned to his own house, but about ten minutes afterwards he returned to where hurdy lay uno,inecious, and with the poker in both hands commenced to batter ia the man's head, and continued to do so until the arrival of a police-officer, who secured him. Jen. lonsy is supposed to have been the °tense of the murder.  The Earl of Dudley he joined in the controversy reepecting the use of the Worcester ChM.dral for musical festivals. In a letter published on Saturday he says that the Dean and Chapter never pledged themselves either to gr.nt or to refuse the use of the Cathedral for feetivals.  " Party polities are ignored in Nevada," wrote the editor of the Stir Spangled Banner. His intellir gent compositor set it up, " Party politicians are ignorant?' The editor got mad, but the subSoribers wanted to promote the compositor to editorin-chief for his knowledge of the situation.  The chief item of general news by the China mail, arrived on Monday, is that Prince lung has been degraded to the second class of princeship, and his son shares in the punishment The cause is said to be spite on the part of the Emperor. From Japan there is little ne% v. With a view of adding to its fot oes, the Government had resorted to a general conscription of all males between twenty and thirty years of age. A robbery has been committed at the Earl of Arran's town house during the absence of the family in Ireland. It was discovered on their return that a number of locked presses and wardrobes had been opened with false keys, and a quantity of valuable property stolen. The knowledge displayed of the various parts of the premises and the places where property had been deposited, leaves, it is stated, little doubt that the robbery v as effected either by or with the connivance of some person or k.ersons acquainted with the house and its contents.  A London correspondent writes :—I hear that the Queen will leave Ealmoral in the early part of net week in order to arrive at Windsor on the m.vning of the 19th instant, and that the christening of her infant grandchild, the son of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, will take place at the cßotle within a day or two afterwards. There has been some little doubt and curiosity ae to whether the Empress of Russia would be present at the ceremony, but I have good reasch for stating that her Majesty will take part in the proceedings, and that she will nct leave England before the 27th it. The Grand Duke will return to the continent next Saturday.  Mr. Gladstone's book on the "Vatican Decrees" is as yet (writes a Dublin correspondent) commented upon only by the Protestant Irish press. The Roman Catholic journals are silent regarding it. The EL ning Mail treats it as a bid for power— a higher. but not more honest. Protestant bid than Mr. Disraeli's. This, substantially, is the view taken by all the Conservative Protestant Press. Poe Dutdin Erenino Post, Roman Catholic journal, tuplaina that Dr. Manning's recent language is &ea/feed to induce the idea that the general supremacy claimed by tltramontaniign for the Pzipe is temporal and not spiritual only, which it re presi.nts as the true dogma of the Doman Catholic Church  Bt
