ABRAHAM HOPKINS AND THE SOPTII WALES RAILWAY Corarsvv.—On Wednesday morning last, Mr. Abraham Hopkins appeared at the Police-court, accompanied by his aolicitor, Mr. Simons, to execute certain legal formalities necessary to enable him to proceed Mere one of the superior courts with the case between himself and the South Wales Railway Company. His object is to test the legality of the conviction obtained against him before the Swansea magistrates for riding on the railway in a superior class carriage to that for which he held a ticket. The conviction, on being appealed against, was confirmed at Quarter Sessions, but Mr. Hopkins has since obtained an order for a new trial.  happened.—Sfaria Slader, wife of dames Slader, nviding at Half-way cottages, said that, about an hour before the , casualty occurred, she was in the house with the deceased and her two sisters.

Arrester. Sun:lr.—On Friday last, Join Rees, the landlord of the ' Recruit' public-house, High-street, Swansea, made a most determined attempt upon his life. It appears that for some time past Rees has been much depressed in spirits from various causes, and on the day in question, M a fit of fury, he stabbed himself in some six or eight different parts of his body with a carpenter's chisel, inflicting several serious wounds. Medical assistance was procured, when it was found that although one (Jr two of the wounds were of an extended character, little danger may be apprehended that death will result from the rash act. We are informed that one of the wounds, inflicted in the abdomen, was very near proving . fatal. The unfortunate man had the day previously attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself, but ' was fortunately prevented. He is now slowly recovering from the effects of his folly. CAUGHT Is

PER QUARTER  THE GLASGOW POISONING CASE. Miss Madeleine Smith, the young lady who was apprehended on the suspicion of having eaministered poison to her sweetheart M. L'Angelier, a native of Jersey, was formally committed yesterday week to grand her trial on the charge of murder. The result has been anived :defter the consultation with the Crown authorities in Ed:nburgh. So far as motive is concerned, the grounds of the charge are understood to be that Miss Smith was anxious to cast L'Angelier off in consequence of having received and accepted an offer of niarriage from a gentleman who occupies a much more elevated position in society, so far as wealth is concerned. L'Atigelier was resolved to maintain his ascending, and had I some rower of blasting the young lady's reputation in the event of her marrying his rival. Hence the catastrophe. That the young lady procured arsenic about the time of L'Angelier's deatn, that he died from the etl;-et of arsenic, arid that there in no reason to believe lie committed suicide are matters audoubted. The Dundee Aduertiser adds the following particulars with respect to this mysterious adair : "It may be stated that evidence of great importance fur the defence of Miss Smith, the young lady now in custody, has been obtained in Dundee and, as the charge against her has attracted so much attention, and the facts in favour of her innocence are not - known, it is only is— that we  poll :  rtl-2;a: *hi Ilene:4l.6'Z will llociwoisi rhteu ri on e'di."7C' hoescal the.) b•Tfibl. refo-r port of its euccesaful operation here will go boom and ! strengthen the hands of the popular party in England, ! •be were workout lower& the seine great end."
