OOO. At the Wolverhampton Police Court, Mr Whitehouse, one of the proprietors of the New Cross coliry, near Wednesfield, has been fined £2O for allowing a boy under 18 years of age to have charge of an engine used to draw persons up a shaft. Bishop Wigram, by way of protest against the B shop of Natal's book on the Pentateuch, has requested, in "the strongest manner," that Dr Colenso should abstain from taking part, "under any circumstances," in the services of the Church within the limits of the diocese of Rochester. . .  A keeper was teasing one of the elephants belonging to Manders' menagerie, at Alnwick, when the excited brute seized the man with its trunk, threw him up in the air, caught him again as be was falling, and then threw him on the ground. The elephant had its foot on the breast of the keeper to crush him, when fortunately he was extricated. A strange incident is reported from Norwood, near London. The body of a gentleman was found lying in a pool of blood in a wood. He had not been long dead, and, as a duelling pistol was found on him, it is supposed he had been killed in a duel. From the account received, however, there is nothing inconsistent with his having committed suicide. _  A 'coroner's jury in Manchester have found a house agent, named Chorlton, responsible for the death of a young woman, who was killed by the giving way of a portion of the brickwork of the house in which she lived. Chorlton was the agent for the property, and it appears that his attention had been repeatedly, but without effect, called to the insecure >tate of the wall, which fell in and caused the poor girl's death. The engineers met on the 17th inst. to consult as to re-opening the Worsborough Dale Pit to recover the dead. A few minutes alter they had decided not to enter the pit at present another terrific explo3ion occurred. It was afterwards determined to partially fill up the cupola shaft and seal the mouths of ,the other two shafts, and flood the entire pit with water. The recovery of the bodies is delayed for months, and no more lives are lost. Elmswell was thrown into no small excitement by the marriage of Mr David Malley to Miss Jemima Farthing, both very honest and industrious people, hut rather eccentric characters. The bridegroom is the well-known Elmswell Poet. The courtship has been carried on for no less than twenty-six years, but the ardent suitor confessed at the last that he so counted of the time of their union, that every minute seemed to him as ten !—Bury and Norwich Post. The remains of the Prince Consort were removed from St George's Chapel to the mausoleum at Frog. more at seven o'clock on Thursday morning, followed by the Princes of Wales and Hesse, Prince Leopold, and the royal household. At one o'clock the Queen and her family walked from Frogmore House, without any attendants, to the mausoleum, and the Dean of Windsor read a short prayer. The Queen and royal family, after placing wreaths of flowers on the foot of the tomb, retired. Government has offered £lOO reward to any person who shall give such information as shall lead to the conviction of the murderer of poor Cooper, on the Ist inst. ; and a free pardon will be granted to any accomplice giving the required information. The men who were in custody have left the town, and the mother of the prisoner Flannery has been so much affected that she died suddenly on Wednesday. Superintendent Radford is in possession of valuable information, which, for the present, must be withheld.—Leeds Mercury. How
