Presbytery of Galloway—Peculiar Case.—This Presbytery met at Newton-Stewart a few days ago. Mr. Sine Hie intimated that his session wished the Presbytery's advice respecting the following ease, namely, Andrew Paterson, formerly a member of another Christian denomination, and said to be now under sentence of excommunication, was lately tried before the Justiciary Court on the charge of having murdered his wife, was found guilty of culpable homicide, and sentenced to two veare imprisonment. His youngest child, about five months oltL, is still unbaptised. His eldest brother, a member of Mr. Sodellie's congregation, is anxious that said child should be baptised, and has expressed his willingness to become sponsor. Owing to the peculiarity of the case, the Presbytery deemed it prudent to allow time for mature consideration, and delayed advice next ordinary meeting, which is appointed to be held at Wigtown on the 223 of August.  Boiler Brplotion—Drdleyt Friday.—Another boiler explosion of a frightful and fatal character occurred in the neighbourhood of this town last night. The scene of the calamity was the Bloeggfield works (Messrs. Barrows and Ball) at Tipton. One 'aid, it appears, from some cause or other yet to be explained, gave way, forcing the boiler (which was about seven tons weight) with considerable violence across the canal into Mr. Round's brickyard, a distance of upwards of one hundred yards. One man was killed, and, as far as yet ascertained, ten others more or Ina seriously injured. Fortunately the two mills were not as 'fork at the time of the occurrence or the loss of life ,wemakkhatte-heso frlii ed igiels*ie4siesp CAronieto. - Petal Boiler Erplosiots est &a.—On Wednesday evening, about half-past nine °Week, the steamer Neptune, belonging to North Shields, was off that port, a distance of about six miles, when the boiler burst, and the captain, named Benjamin Baxter, was so severely scalded that he died shortly after being landed at North Shields. The fireman also, named WillidM Robson, is not expected to survive the injuries he received 'from the same cause. The steamer, it appears, had been racing to secure the towing of a vessel Into Shields, and had got the tow-rope on board.—Sttsderlanai Herald. Great Saaing Match.—We understand that a match has been made, for a wager of a considerable amount, torus Mr: Sohn Naylor's fine yacht, of 100 tons, the Brilliant, from Liverpool round the coast of Ireland and back, a distance of GOO miles, against Mr. Ripley's new iron ship of 400 tons, lately built by Messrs. Cato—the affair to come off between the 12th and 16th instant. This will 54 • most interesting trial of nautical skill and speed.—Litorpool Mail. Paris—The late Ineurreetion.—A deep mystery, or at least a general silence, has hitherto prevailed in France as to the most responsible leaders of the late revolt, and the conspiracy in which it originated. That such vast preparations, that such military organisation, that such a protracted resistance were not the result of accident or of any hasty insurrection must be evident to the whole world. But in the midst of so dearly bought a triumph, the men who have rescued their country from the jaws of anarchy and impending ruin, by an exertion e' and self-sacrifice unparalleled by civic troops,r icfore they lay bare the depth of peril from w escaped, and the political crimes which have, catastrophe.
