LIFE IN "HOLY RUSSIA."  News has just been received in St. Petersburg that the Governor of the Jabaukalski District in Eastern Siberia, has been murdered. He was shot dead with a pistol by a female political prisoner. It seems the mines of Nert.ehensk and other penal settlements, where numbers of political prisoners are confined, were under the administration of this governor, and that the tragedy took piece at Ichita, the administrative centre of the district. Leaky, a political prisoner, who killed one of his- guards in an endeavour to escape, has just been hung in Eastern Siberia. It is officially announced that the sentences on the prisoners condemned by court-martial for complicity in the murder in a cemetery of Detective Preim have been commuted by the Emperor. Student Nagomy and Citizen Eusieff, who were sentenced to he hanged, are to be sent for life to the Siberian mines. Citizen Hochloff is to undergo twenty years' penal servitude and Kansinm Kim n (Our years.  A CORONER'S INVESTIGATION has been held at Portsmouth into the death of William Cull, aged 53, a naval pensioner, who committed suicide a few days ago by throwing himself under a passenger train, after pre. viously taking poison awl firing a pistol at his wife head. The evidence showed that since undergoing a magical operation the deceased had been strange in his manner, repeatedly threatening to commit suicide and beating his wife, so that she left him. A verdict of "Temporary insanity" was returned. AT Sittingbourne a man named John Vaughan, a coppersmith, aged 43, was brought before thedistrict magistrates under the following circumstances: About a fortnight ago he showed symptoms of insanity, mid his friends could not control him. He was the victim of eatraonlinary delusions, and, eluding his friends, Vaughan one night got out of his bedroom window in a perfectly nude elate, and wandered nearly a mile away from his home. The Bench signed an order for lila removal to the county lunatic mylum. AT a revision of the voters' fists for the borough of Southwark, London, Herbert Aught, of 3, Bridge-place, claimed as a lodger, but he was objected to by the Coneervative agent on the ground that he only paid 4s. a week rent, and that included washing. If the value of the washing were deducted it would reduce the value below the statutory amount. The Revising Barrister said that woo atoned; they must allow a man to have his shirt washed occasionally without depriving him of his vote in consequence. The washing would surely not make twopence a week difference. The claim was allowed. .

" Mary June" strongly objected to dust the windows, sweep the floor, or even brush her m.ter's cloth.. Counsel for the defence elicited an opinion from the girl that it was no part of her duties to do work of this bled, and as she utterly failed to show what ought to be the work of a housemaid, the loomed judge gave judgment against her.

At the part known as the Cliff there are a number of large homes having gardens sloping down to the River Irwell, and a young girl, whilst walking in one of these gardens, saw lying in the shrubbery of the adjoining grounds the dead body of 011100. It proved to be that of a young man named Harry Skelton, who occupied one of the houses entire Cliff, and who has been missing for the last ten days. Induce...Ws mouth, and tightly clenched by the teeth, was a discharged pistol. Om of the handsgrasped an empty tumbler, and half the face had been blown away by the shot from the pistol, which there is no doubt had been firial by the deceased. The body was removed to deceased's house, and information given to the police, who are collecting evidence for the coroner's inquest. The young man, who woos partner in the firm of Skelton and Sous, Deausgate, Manchester, oil and tallow merchants, lost his father (the head of the firm) last July, and his mother only a few weeks ago, and it is supposed that the latter event affected his mind. He was greatly depressed after the death of his mother, and since more than a week ago he hail not been heard of. His friends had made diligent bat unfruitful inquiries an to his whereabouts. The body was found ill the garden next to that of his own house, and it is supposed that it has been lying there since the day of dimmed's disappearance. The spot is close to where an alarming Imdslip took place a few days ago, and since the discovery a further subsidence of eci oral hundred tons of earth has taken place, and should a heavy rainfall come before the protecting works now being °mooted can be completed very serious mischief is apprehended. By the successive falls of earth the bed of the Irwell has been narrowed very conaiderably,and the force of the current correspondingly increased. The Salient Corporation are doing what is possible to stop the sub,ithace and protect the public from injury.
