On Monday last week William Holt, aged 11, who described himself as 3 gentleman, and who gave the address Ihmstan illi, Toiletry, Worcestershire, mos I glit up on a warrant eharged with uttering a forged elusion, for £l5, and thereby defrauding Mrs. Mary Ann Gregory, of the Norfolk Hotel awl Wine Company, Nor. folk-square, l'adolington.—The aeensed, now oleeeaseol, had been stopping at the above hotel for ;Mlle time, awl had been pressed for payment by Mrs. Gregory.

Another cheque for £2 It,. was drawn on the London and County Dank, and given too the billionl marker of the hotel in payment of borrowed money for the use of the billiard Ode. The prisoner never had any account at the London awl County Dank, and on Saturday last he was taken into custody, and the magistrate, on the application of Mr. 531111.0 n, refused to take 101 l for the prisoner's appearance. -on the cane being caned Monday. Mr. LYall, the second clerk, read a certificate stating that the deceased died in the lionise of Detention at ten o'clock on the 19th instant.

Ile had been told that the prisoner had committed suicide by elating lois abdomen open with it knife which was given to Min to eat his food with on Wednesday loot—Mr. D'Eyncourt iii it was a ai ending of the case, and the matter then dropped.  A most brutal kieking ease has just come to light at liuheal, a little village a few miles from Nottingham. A navvy. named Enoch Kinder, went home drunk and quarrelled with his wife.

LONDDH mot now oullfen tag from two forrns of manta, both imported from America. I refer to skating rinks awl spelling bees. Of rinks we have now about a score, and of bees there are a dozen every night. The hitter illustrates two peculiarities, a vett amount of assurance on the part of einupetitors whose education is exceedingly indifferent, and an ignorance of spelling the most simple words which is positively surprioing. A few evenings ago I wax present at one of these gatherings in the school of St. Bernabaa, Claplutin. The cheery vicar, who presided offered a few remarks in favour of the system of public competition of this chp..4, awl gave two amusing illustrations to show why his particular pariah ought to encourage spelling bets. One WWI the fact that he had just received an invoice for coals addressl to St. Barnabas " Vikkei ridge," and the other was the still more daring blunder of a correspondent who addressed him as the Vicar of "St. Barreled." Now, as Barrabas was a robber, and not a saint, the vicar thought it high time to have a spelling bee. Many of the promoters of those bees succeed in making substantial pecuniary returns. By offering small prizeo, such as gold rings, writing cases, and an occasional XIII watch, enormous uilienreo are a.ssembled at some of them gatlicringo and a sinall fee is also charged to the competitors fur iprizeo.
