DIINDREARY. —The report that Mr Sothern receives a weekly salary of £l2O is an error. He gets a clear half of the profits—viz. about £450 per week. Mr Buckstone's profits on the first 300 nights of Mr Sothern's "engagement were £32,000. In all probability Mr Sothern will play in his native town of Liverpool on Easter Monday.—Liverpoot Mercury. A woman was brought no on Friday at the Marlborough Street Police Court, London, charged with attempting to murder two of her children and to commit suicide. She appears to have been a prostitute, and while excited with drink she threatened to cut the throats of her children, and did actually inflict a slight wound on her own. She was remanded for a week.  _ At a meeting of the committee of the Salford Council on Tuesday, it was stated, in reference to the Albert Memorial there, that the ground-plan of Peel Park, Salford, where it is proposed the memorial statue should be erected, had been submitted to her Majesty, and that she had expressed herself particularly pleased with the site chosen. The erection of the statue was decided to be proceeded with. Captain Douglas, of the barque Veronica, was on Thursday presented by the Liverpool Local Marine Board with a valuable telescope (the gift of the Board of Trade), in acknowledgment of his humane and gallant rescue of 28 men, the captain and crew of the Nepaul, while that vessel was in a sinking condition off Cape Reciffe. The Rev. J. Macnanght, who resigned the incumbency of St Chrysostom's Church, Ererton, about a year ago, in consequence of a radical change in his religious belief, has just published a recantation of his 'errors." He declares his scepticism to have been a "mistake," and he desires once more to enter upon the work of a minister of the Church of England.  A man named Frederick Mitchell is in custody at Hulver, near Beccles, on a charge of shooting his mother. Disappointed at not being invited to a marriage he sought consolation in a drinking bout, and began firing off his gun. Anxious to protect her children, his mother begged him to desist, but he told her he would shoot the first person who attempted to enter the house. She did not hesitate, however, but went in, and the fellow fired at her, the charge entering a little above the left breast. The poor victim of his brutality is not out of danger. In the Court of Common Pleas on Friday, in the case of Kennedy v. Broun, a verdict has been given to the effect that the Court were of opinion that no promise, either before or after the business, wars binding, and that the relations between counsel and client rendered both incapable of making the contract. Verdict for defendant. If that decision were reversed in a Court of Error, the other question of a new trial might be gone into, but for the present all proceedings in relation to that matter must be suspended. - - - - - - -  The other day the Eden-bridge harriers met at Mr Whibley's farm, and soon found a hare, contiguous to the railway, to which point she mute; she was hotly pursued by the hounds, and driven nearly a mile down the line. One of the hounds was upon the line, when the two o'clock train came up, and the whole train went over the hound, he being between the metals; the last carriage but one struck him and cut off his ear: He was left for dead, but he revived and came home again, and is now quite recovered, being only minus an ear.—Maidatone Journal.
