0 PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1867. EXHIBITION OF PERIODICAL LITERATURE. In the French Ministers' Report upon the Uni- versal Exhibition, which it is proposed to hold in Paris in the year 1867, there occurs the following sentence International Exhibitions promise to become perfect representations of Modern Society, in its various forms of activity.' And an intention is announced of causing various historical reports to be compiled in France showing its present state of progress. In order that the principle thus set forth may be illustrated as far as England is concerned, the Com- mittee of Council on Education have determined to exhibit, among other evidences of the activity' of our civilization, as far as possible a complete collec- tion of the periodical literature of the day, con- taining one specimen, which may be of any date in the year 1866, of each Newspaper, Review, Literary, Artistic, or Scientific Journal, Magazine, Tract, or Pamphlet, Play, &c., Street Ballad and the like, published in the kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or in any of the British Colonies, in the course of the year 1866. It is proposed to send this collection, when completed, to the Paris Exhibition of 1867, with the view of conveying to foreign nations some idea of the enormous amount of periodical literature for which there is a demand in England and its dependencies. It will be obvious to all those who may take the project which has been thus briefly set forth into consideration, that for the due carrying out of this object the co-operation of all those who are in any way concerned in the publication of periodical literature, in any one of its forms, will be indis- pensably necessary. All editors or proprietora of Newspapers, therefore, whether such Newspapers jepresent the metropolis itself, or any part or section of the metropolis whether they be pro- vincial or colonial Newspapers, published in any town in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, or any of the British colonies all proprietors of Magazines, Reviews, or other Periodicals, whether Annual, Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly, or Daily, as well as all Secretaries of Societies whose practice it is to issue Tracts or Pamphlets at regular intervals, and all Dramatic writers, &c.; all such persons are requested to help forward this undertaking by sending to the Commissioners of the Paris Exhi- bition specimen-numbers of each Newspaper, Maga- zine, Review, Tract, or Pamphlet which they may be concerned in publishing in order that every one of such specimens may be incorporated forthwith into the Collection which is now in course of for- mation. The Collection will be properly arranged and bound, and each contributor's name will appear in a report to be made on the Collection by Mr. Charles Collins, who has been directed to super- intend it. All communications in connexion with matters treated of in this paper, as well as all specimen- numbers of periodicals intended for exhibition, should be forwarded with as little delay as possible to the Secretary, Paris Exhibition of 1867, South Kensington Museum, W. By order of the Lords of the Committee Council on Education. HENRY COLE, Secretary and Executive Commissioner.

STRANGE PHENOMENON. A very curious and strange phenomenon has appeared in the parish of Kilmaley, five miles from this town, in the shape of a very large collection of caterpillars which came up suddenly on a field and across a road, being so thickly spread as to present the appearance of soot scattered from a cart passing over the place in a zigzag line. They are gathered usually in small heaps along the land, as if emptied out from bowls or hreakfast cups. They are now beginning to decrease in number, but there must have been originally more than a couple of millions of them congregated there. Their colour is speckled black and white but to what genus of moth they belong it is impossible to say. The Rev Mr Breakey, the incumbent of the parish, has secured specimens of them, some of which he has forwarded to scientific authorities for information regarding them. Under the microscope they present a very remarkable appearance, having branchy hairs of a most peculiar descri pt ioii.- Clare Journal. I THE FASTEST STEAMER IS THE WORLD.—The Egyptian paddle-wheel steam yacht Mahroussa. Capt. Fredrigo B'-y. built under the superintendence of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, by Messrs Samuda Brothers, of London, for the Viceroy of Euypt, arrived her-- on Saturday, 12th inst., at 6.30 p.m having performed the voyage fram Southamp- ton in the unprecedented short time of 157 hours. When under full steam she consumes seven tons of coal an hour, and is, without exception, the fastest vessel afloat. At the measured mile in Stokes Bay, her average speed was upwards of 18 4-10 knots an hour, which is equal to about 20f statute miles. After replenishing fuel she proceeded on the 16th instant for Constantinople, to meet the Viceroy, who, it is reported, intends paying a visit to England in her this summer. This splendid vessel is of 1,800 tons, and is fitted with machiuery of 800 horse power. Her )n)eriur tittups are ot extraordinary magnificence. Her cosi is said to have been £ 166,000. — Malta Times, May 17. j

r THE POST OFFICE. The twelfth report of the Postmaster-General has just I been presented to Parliament and published. It appears ■. that the total number of letters delivered during the pa.-l j year in England and Wales was 597,277,616, being an increase of 36,956,855 over the number delivered in the j previous year. The total number of letters delivered j in Scotland was 67,048,891, being an increase of i 2,787,408 over the year 1861. The letters delivered in ) Ireland numbered 56,140,500, showing an increase here also over the previous year of 1,637,922. The aggregate ) number of letters thus delivered in the United Kingdom I during 1865 was 720,467,007, which was upwards 01 forty-one millions in excess of the previous year. The number of letters to each person was as follows:- I England and Wales, 28; Scotland, 21; Ireland, 10— showing an increase of one to each person over the year 1864. The number of book packets, including chargeable newspapers, delivered in the year was as follows: England and Wales, 42,930,706; Scotland, 5,744,635; and Ireland, 5,007,470,—the numbers in each case being in excess of the previous year. The number of free newspapers delivered was — England and Wales, 30,261,426, Scotland, 5,579,405; and Ireland, 7,729,124 showing a decrease in the whole of nearly two millions as compared with 1864. The number of packets sent by the pattern post and delivery during the year was as followsEngland and Wales, 940,771; Scotland, 175,474; and Ireland, 169,871, giving on the whole an increase of 105'46 per cent. on the previous year. In 1865 England and Wales had 2,535 money order offices, as compared with 2,280 in 1864 Scotland had 395, as compared with 363 and Ireland had 524, as compared with 516. The amount of money orders issued was- for England and Wales, £ 15,257,385; Scotland, £1,4:11.065 and Ireland, j61,160,840, being an increase in every case over the previous year. The amount ot money orders paid was, for England and Wales, jElo.121,459 Scotland, .61,559,896; Ireland, fl,463,195; here also showing a considerable increase in every case. For some years an increase in the number of receptacles for letters has taken place, and in the year 1865 no less than 616 additional receptacles were brought into use. Great improvements, both as to the accelerations of mails, and the appointment of new day mails to and from London, have also taken place during the year. A continued increase in the number of registered letters has occurred, the number rising in 1865 to 2,232,000. The gross total of the articles conveyed by the Post Office in 1865 was 818,990,000. An increase in the number of returned letters is also observable, the numbers being, in 1864, 3,154,000, and in 1865, 3,518,000. Among the returned letters of the latter year, however, were upwards of 50,000 circulars issued by agents and committees at the general election. There were 12,000 careless people in England and Wales in 1865, as we find that number of letters posted without any address, and of these 298 contained cash, notes, bills, and cheques, to the amount in all of £3,700. Amongst the articles sent through the book post during the year were 9 ladies' jackets, 563 shirts, 471 speci- mens of carpets, 2 candles, 4 weighing machines, 23 boots and shoes, 1 mouse-trap, 2 shoemakers' last?, 250 Pharaoh's serpents, 38 Atlantic cable, 3 felt hats, 7 door-handles, 3 fishing-tackle, 16 samples of grease, 1 opera glasa, &o.

THE CHOLERA AT LIVERPOOL.—Two more deaths from cholera. have occurred since Saturday on board the hospital ship Jessie Munn, and one death has been added to the number of fatal cases at the workhouse. The persons who have died on board the Jessie Munn were the rigger, who had been employed on board the hospital ship, War Cloud, who had been seized three days previously, and a woman who, after being pronounced convalescent, had experienced a collapse, which terminated fa- tally. The fatal case at the workhouse is that of a Dane. There are now only six patients in the workhouse, five having been discharged since Saturday cured. The emigrants are also leaving the Bankhall Warehouse; and those who had been removed from the depot at Birkenhead to the new workhouse hospital at Tranmere are reported to be doing well. A YOUNG WOMAN SHOT.—SHOCKING AFFAIR.— The people of Furness were thrown into great excitement on Saturday afternoon by the report that a young woman had been shot at Hindpool, near Barrow, Lancashire. From what has trans- pired it seems that the party who has been shot is a young woman seventeen years of age, named Esther Pittaway, and that she lived with her pa- rents at No. 7, Lyon Street, Hindpool. The per- son who perpetrated the deed a married man named John Trow, who is a native of Staffordshire. The parties are cousins, and Trow, who has been in the habit of visiting at the house of the deceased 's parents, called there on Saturday morning to in- form his aunt that his wife had arrived from Staf- ford. The young woman was washing her hands in the back kitchen, being about to go on an errand for her mother, who was serving a customer in a small shop, attached to the house, which they keep. Trow went through the shop, and as he was going picked up a gun belonging to a lodger named Far- rington. In a moment afterwards the gun ex- ploded, the contents of it blowing out one of the young woman's eyes and striking the side of her lace as well. She died immediately. Dr Sinclair was sent for, but his services were of no avail. It is said that Farrington had been out with his gun on Saturday morning, and the supposition is that he had returned with it loaded, and left it so in the shop. Whetner Trow knew that the gun was loaded or not cannot be said. After the sad affair Trow was apprehended by the police and taken to the lock-up. A MAN KILLED IN A STREET Row AT LEEDS, AND ATTEMPTED SuiCIDE OF THE ASSAILANT. About ten minutes past twelve o'clock on Sunday morning P.C. Ellis, of the Leeds force, had his attention directed to a crowd in Briggate, and on proceeding towards the place he observed one man run from it, hotly pursued by another. Before he could interfere, the first man—who was David Saville, a handlesetter, residing in New Wortley, was struck by his pursuer, who is Benjamin Smith, a turner, residing in Hanslet —and felled to the ground. Smith next attempted to strike at a woman who interfered, but was pre- vented by P.C. Ellis, who apprehended him and handed him over to another constable, he himself proceeding mean-while with Saville in a cab to the Leeds Infirmary. Deceased was unconscious all the time, only raising his arm once as the vehicle was passing along Commercial-street, and remained insensible until his death, which occurred about an hour after his admission to the hospital. Smith was placed in the prisoner's dock in the lock-up until the charge against him was being entered but as soon as he heard that Saville was dead he drew a long-bladed knife from his pocket and gashed his throat with the weapon in several places, the blood spurting out copiously from the wounds upon the walls of the police office, and also accumulating in pools upon the seat and the floor. Smith was in his turn conveyed to the infirmary, where his several jagged wounds were dressed, but two of them are of such a serious character that his recovery is doubtful. Prisoner, who is described as being quite sober at the time of the fatal attack, did not say anything in reply to the charge of feloniously assaulting and killing Saville. The origin of the quarrel has not yet been disclosed to the fullest extent, but it is stated that each was stranger to the other, and that it occurred from some word or push exchanged between them in the Rose and Crown yard, Briggate, in which there is a concert- hall largely frequented by artisans on Saturday nights.—Eastern Morning News. RITUALISM.—The following is the reptyoftbe Archbishop of Armagh to 655 clergy and 967 churchwardens of the Church ot Ireland, through the vice chairman of the Church Association, J. C. Colquhoun, Esq :—' My rev. brethren and Christian friends,—I fully participate in the deep concern with which you view the introduction in several places of novel vestments, incense, and other Romish observances, into the services of the Established Church.' I believe on this subject with the Archbishop of Canterbury, that they who are thus introducing vestments and ceremonies of very doubtful legality, are really, though I am quite sure unconsciously, doing the work of the worst enemies of the Church.' That they have • violated a compromise and settlement which has existed for 3UO years,' and which such wise and holy men as Bishop Andrews, Richard Hooker, ar,d their contemporaries, were well content to leave untouched.' A compromise, I may add, under which the Church has enjoyed great quiet- ness and peace, and within whose ample bounds decency and order and the true grandeur of Christian ceremonial, may be secured. I agree with the statement in the letter which accompanied the memorial, that these innovations 'affect the purity and stability of the Church of England ti e purity because they are meant to be introduc- tory to doctrines renounced at the Reformation, and directly opposed to the articles which express the mind ot our Church; the stability, because their tendency is to create schism, and to drive from our communion men of piety and Christian worth, sincerely attached to the true principles of our Church and to the Church itself so long as it abides by those principles. Happily in the Irish branch of the United Church these 'strange usages have found no favour.' I firmly believe they never will but were occasion to arise, I would use my power and influence to maintain the1 uniformity and purity of the Church and principles of the Reformation. You wiil, I am sure, unit* your prayers with mine to the great Hendotthe Church to keep us evermore in the profession of the true faith, in unity of the spirit, and in the bond ot peace.—I remain, my rev. and Christian brethren, yuur faithful servant, M. G. ARMAGH.'

HYDROPHOBIA.—Mr Philpott, partner in the firm of Wilson and Philpott, brewers, Newton-heath, died on Saturday evening, from hydrophobia, although the bite was given him so long as July last.—On Friday a mad dog in the village of Rishworth, near Halifax, bit two cows, which had both to be destroyed. A man, named John Hamer, and a child were also bitten. PROPOSED STATUE TO MR PEABODY.—On a re quisition, signed by about eighty of the principal citizens, the Lord Mayor has been pleased to con- vene a public meeting in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House, on Thursday, at two o'clock, to promote the erection of a statue on some con- spicuous spot in the City of London to commemo- rate the unparalleled munificence of Mr Peabody for the relief of the deserving poor in the metro- polis. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Monday afternoon. at Holmfirth, near Huddersfield, a Mrs Sarah Wimpemiy, about forty years of age, the wife of Joshua Wimpenny, warper, Upperthong, com- mitted suicide after killing her youngest son, a boy about a year old. She left home about three o'clock in the afternoon ostensibly with the inten- tion of going to the Netherthong School feast, Whitmonday being a day when there are gatherings at all the schools in the locality. She took her child with her. About five o'clock a man named Thomas Crook saw the body of a woman floating in the water in Mark Bottom's dam, near Bridge Mills, Holmfirth. When brought to the bank it was found to be that of Mrs Wimpenny. It was also discovered that she had fastened her child to herself by tying it with her shawl, which she fas- tened round her waist. On the bank of the reser- voir there was found her bonnet and the boy's cape, and to the latter there was attached a paper, upon which was written Remember poor Albert' —the name of the child. The bodies were removed to the Crown Inn, Holmfirth. There is no definite reason given as to why the wretched woman should have committed the rash deed, but it is stated that she was very excitable. A NEW STAR.—Mr Hind writes under date of Saturday night:—' Having received information this evening, through the kindness of Mr W. Huggins, F.R.S, that a new star in the constellation Corona Borealis had been discovered by Mr Bermingham, of Tuam, and Mr Baxendell, of Manchester, we found it without difficulty, though its brightness has evi- dently diminished with great rapidity since the earlier observations, when its light was equal to that of an ordinary star of the second magnitude. The mean position for 1866 was determined with the equatorial, and is as follows:—Right ascension, 15h 53m 53,0s North Polar distance, 63d 41,8m. This remarkable star is nearly in the line joining Epsilon ^n Bootes and Pi in Serpens, and about one third of the distance between them from the former. It is now a sixth magnitude, perfectly colourless, at least to my eye, and quite stellar in appearance with mag- nifiers up to seven hundred. In its entire freedom from colour (on which point my colleague Mr Wiss agrees with me), this star presents a noteworthy con- trast to the one detected at Mr Bishop's Observa- tory in the constellation Ophiuchus in April, 1848, which exhibited red or orange flashes even at its maximum. I may mention that this object has not disappeared, and stated in several of our popular treatises on astronomy, but may still be observed as a star of the eleventh magnitude.' THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN IRELAND.—DUBLIN, Saturday Evening.—A telegram from Lisburn states that this morning Mr Jenks, V.S., and Mr M'Call, V.S., made a post-mortem examination of the cow slaughtered at Cabra, near that town and that they have come to the conclusion that it was a decided case of rinderpest. The Northern Whig observes Since the report that the rinder- pest had made its appearance at Drennan was published, a perfect panic seems to have taken possession of a portion of the community and every sick cow is declared to be suffering from the rinderpest. The ailments most common to cattle, and with which the owners of stock are unhappily but too familiar, are mistaken for the dreaded plague, even by many persons who are generally regarded as experienced in bovine diseases. Our columns to-day very forcibly illustrate the state of alarm which prevails on this subject, and the precipitancy with which unfounded rumours of the outbreak of the cattle plague are put into circula- tion. It is very gratifying to be informed, on com- petent authority, that the disease with which the animals at Glenmachan and near Ballymena were attacked was not the rinderpest, as was 'generally stated, but a malady of a very different type. As regards the cases at Ballinderry and Moynteagh Bogs, we are not yet in a position to speak with certainty, but we have every reason to believe that the Government inspector's examination will demonstrate that they do not present the well- recognised symptoms of rinderpest.' EXCITING SCENE AT WOMBWELL'S MENAGERIE.— On Saturday night an alarming incident occurred at Wombwell's menagerie, which is now visiting Dundee The place was crowded to excess by visitors. During one of the performances, while the keeper, Mr Mack, was causing the leopards and panthers, which are confined in one large caravan, to go through various evolutions, a large male panther suddenly showed unmistakeable signs ofinsubordiation. With the rest of his companions he was ordered by the keeper to leap through a large brass ring held up for the purpose. Instead, however, of doing this, the animal suddenly turned upon Mr Mack, and, throwing his powerful paw on the head or the latter, produced a deep scalp wound, from which the blood instantly began to flow profusely, covering the face and clothes of the daring keeper with a crimson stream. Mr Mack was completely taken by surprise, as this was the first occasion on which the panther had dared to make an open attack, but, quickly recovering bis self-possession, he struck his infuriated assailant several severe blows with the butt end of the heavy whip he usually carries about with him when going through his dangerous performances. Blinded and maddened by the blows of the whip, the panther let go his hold and bounded round the cage in a frantic manner, then retiring to the further corner crouched c'own as if preparing for a spring, while his gleaming eyes and the gaping jaws from which he emitted the most terrible growls, showed plainly enough that had he been allowed to make his leap it would have closed for ever the career of the fearless lion tamer. But, happily, the latter followed up his advantage with energy and promptitude, and gave the animal such an un- merciful beating as fairly to cow the latter into an unwilling and threatened submission. He com- pelled him to finish the performance so unex- pectedly interrupted, and was loudly applauded by the audience on making his exit trom the exciting scene in which he had sh ;wn so much cool daring and decision. It may be readily supposed that the visitors were wrought to the highest pitch of excitement during the time the affair lasted.— Dundee Courier. OUR BEVERAGES, NARCOTICS, AND STIMULANTS. —By a parliamentary paper issued on Saturday it appears that in the year 1865 the quantity of tea retained for home consumption in the United Kingdom was 97,834,6()()ib.; the net amount of duty received thereon being £3,187,130; the rate of consumption per head 3.291b; and the rateot contribution per head to the revenue 2s lfd. From June 1, 1865, the duty on tea was reduced to 6d per lb. With respect to coffee the home consumption was 30,505,8721b; the duty, £381,556; consumption per head, 1.021b; and revenue per head, 3d. The duty per lb is 3d for raw and 4d for prepared coffee. The consumption of sugar was 10,603,5261b; duty, £5,193,816; consumption per head. 39.891b.; and revenue per head, 3s 5Jd. ino ^sumption molasses was 567,9671b duty £ 93,677 consumption per head, 2.14lb the duty per head 4d., The duty perewt. on sugar and molasses varies from 168 to 3s 6d. The consump- tion of foreign and colonial spirits was 6,732 217 gallons the duty, £ 3,46*5,636 consumption per head, 0-33 gallous; and duty per head, 2s 4d. The duty per gallon on spirits is from 14s to 10s 2d. Ofwine the consumption in the year was 11,993,760 gallons; the duty, £ 1,372,*85; consumption per head, 0.40 gallons and duty per head, lid. The amount of duty per gallon is from 2s 6d to Is. The The tobacco consumed was 32,905,1211b; the amount of duty, £6, J 99,677: the consumption per bead, 1.31 lb, and the duty per head, 4s 2d. The duty is from 3s 1 8-tOJ to 5s. With respect to the foregoing returns it is observable that while the consumption of tea has been rapidly increasing within the last few years that of coffee is de- creasing. The total amount of duty received on the former article has been decreasing, owing to the lowering of the scale of duty year after year— and also on the latter article, although the duty has only been lowered £ d per lb. since 1862. The con- sumption of sugar and molasses is increasing largely and steadily, but the total receipts ot duty falls with the lowering of the rate per pound. Th-. ;Iet receipts, however, for 1865 are greater than those for 1864. The consumption of spirits and wine, as well as the amount of duty received from hem, is also increasing rapidly. The same is tin ;se with tobacco, where ibe increase JU bub respects is even more remarkable. STRANGE RECOVERY OF STOLEN WATCHES.—One day last week 24 watches were discovered buried at the foot of an elm tree, at Gartmell Hall, th" seat of General Gold, near Montgomery. They are proved to be the proceeds of a robbery com. mitted in the shop of Mr Parlow, watchmaker, Montgomery, on May 26, 1860. FRIGHTFUL DEATH ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAIL [WAY.—An accident of a shocking nature occurred at the Reading Station of the Great Western Rail- way on Saturday afternoon, while the whole stafi of officials were busily occupied in attending to the extra Whitsuntide traffic. An engine-cleaner em- ployed at the engine shed opposite the up platform was returning from his dinner shortly before two o'clock, and walked by the side of the Basingstoke line. While doing so his attention appeared to be attracted by an excursion train leaving the down station. The excursion train had just passed him, and he was making his way to the engine shed, when the Basingstoke train, due at Reading at a quarter to two, came up. The engine struck him, and knocked him down, and the wheels of several of the carriages passed over his body. Several of the men in the employ of the company hastened to the spot, and found the poor fellow's body quite lifeless and dreadfully mangled the top of the head had been cut off, and both his legs had also been severed from the trunk. The coroner for the borough subsequently held an inquiry at the Flying Horse Inn, and the jury returned a verdict of 'Ac- cidental Death.' The name of the deceased was Frederick Easton. EXTORTION BY A FORTUNE-TELLER.—A woman belonging to the great gipsy tribe of Lovels, who are scattered through the middle of England from Newcastle to the Bristol Channel, was brought up at the Merthyr Police-court on Saturday, charged with stealing £80, the property of Mr Thomas Francis Thomas, of Thomas Town, Merthyr. Some short time ago the prisoner bad called at the house, and persuaded Mrs Thomas to have her fortune told. Great riches were promised, of which the lucky lady was to become the mistress in a very remarkable manner and to rule her planet' for her to that end, only £1 was required. Mrs Thomas was weak or curious enough to yield to the gipsy's allurement, and the ruling planet was accordingly set in operation. It was now dis- covered, however, that the planet was a very large one, with four circles and a corner to each, and each corner bad to be equally weighted to ensure a balance, so that if jElO was required for one corner, of course jE40 would be required for the four. Mrs Thomas supplied the money, and the gipsy went away. In a day or .two she returned, and declared that not only was the planet very large, but it was also very heavy, and required jE20 at each corner instead»of £10. The lady seems now to have had some suspicion, and insisted upon the return of her £40, a demand with which the gipsy seems to have thought it best to comply. However, the wise woman was not inclined to lose her advantage so quickly, and she persuaded Mrs Thomas to wrap the money up in something pretty and put it under her pillow as an infallible means of doubling its bulk. Some blue silk was procured, and the money wrapped up, but without the de- sired increase taking effect. In a day or two the gipsy called, and took the work of multiplication on herself, demanding £80, which she was soon to return augmented to £100. She invoked such calamities in the event of refusal, that Mrs Thomas was over-persuaded, and procured the additional money and trusted the JE80 into her hands. Then the gipsy went away, and never returned. The facts were in a shurt time communicated to the police, and a day or two after the gipsy woman was taken, but with no money about her. She pleaded guilty before the magistrate, and was sent to gaol for six months with hard labour. MURDER ON A STEAMER IN THE MERSEY.—On Saturday afternoon, the steamer Royal Standard, belonging to Messrs Wilson and Cunningham, 2], Water Street, left the Queen's Dock, and anchored in the river, prior to her leaving for New York. Shortly after five o'clock a quarrel arose between John Thomas Blakie, aged 23, the second mate, and a seaman who had just joined the ship, named Charles Morgan Alpass, relative to the replacing of some belaying pins. Blows were freely ex- changed, and then Alpass stabbed Blakie in the left side, and the wound penetrating the cavity of the chest, caused almost instant death. Alpass and another man, namely Tinlay, who was con- cerned in the quarrel, were at once placed in irons, and handed over to the river police, by whom they were lodged at the main bridewell. Dr Craig, of Birkenhead, was speedily in attendance on the de- ceased, but without avail. The depositions of several witnesses have been taken, and although differing in detail they agree as to the main facts. The most important evidence is that of John He- witt, the quarter-master, who alter stating what he knew of the origin of the row, added that he saw the prisoner Alpass go up behind the deceased, take a knife out of his sheath, and stab the de- ceased in the breast. He then saw blood both on his hands and on the knife. Alpass then replaced the knife in the sheath, and picked up a capstan bar, and said, 'I will kill that son of a —— The chief mate, Isaiah Weaver, said that the prisoner was going about his work in a manner which d d not satisfy the deceased. Alpass had a belaying pin in his band, and raised it as if to strike. De- ceased then struck him on the head with his fist. The man Finlay then interfered and struck the deceased. The third officer, Chambers, then went to the assistance of deceased, and witness went forward to interfere. Before be could do so effec- tually, however, he saw Alpass dart forward and seize a capstan bar, and at the same moment de- ceased fell, and witness saw that he was stabbed. Alpass, on being charged with the offence, said I suppose I shall be blamed, as the other man had no knife. I did it, I am aware, as I was stunned with a blow.' The third officer's statement is to the same effect. The prisoner, in his statement, said that the deceased struck him. and that Cham- bers also struck him, and then Finlay came to his assistance, and added, If I did it I don't know. I was stunned at the time." THE TREATIES OF 1815.-As the Treaty of Vienna may once more be made the stalking-horse of Bonapartist ambition, it may be interesting to the general reader, who is more learned in present politics than in past history, to be reminded what that famous treaty really was. In the first place, it was signed by a larger number of States than had ever before united in a settlement of European affairs, including Austria, France, England, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden. Coming also immediately after the widespread shattering C of old landmarks consequent upon French con- quests, the rearrangement of territories amounted almost to a reconstruction. This reconstruction was based almost exclusively on dynastic con- siderations, the real welfare of nations and the tendencies of what are now called 4 nationalities being scarcely thought of. Everywhere were nations, or fragments of nations, placed under foreign sovereignties. England's gain indeed, was fully equalled by her loss in the new plan. She kept Malta, which was essential to her position in the Mediterranean, and where her rule was not unwelcome for the sake of Europe generally she undertook the protectorate of the Ionian Islands, now got rid of; and to satisfy royal prejudices, she also preserved the kingdom of Hanover, now also got rid of. In Italy, Milan and Venice were given to Austria, and Sardinia was confirmed to Piedmont; while the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma, Modena, and Placentia were recognised as sham independent sovereignties, governed by collateral branches of the Austrian Hapsburg. Austria still further obtained possession of the Tyrol, Illyria, and Dalmatia. Prussia's gains were enormous, and, unlike many of the Austrian, were acquisi- tions of real power. With half of Saxony, nearly all Westphalia, Swedish Pomerania, and almost all the Lower Rhine provinces, she started afresh as a rival of Austria far more formidable than before. In the North of Europe, Russia received Finland from Sweden as a compensation for whichSvveden received Norway, which was taken from Denmark; and Denmark, who was not re- presented at the congress, got nothing in return. As to Poland, the three great partitioners made some fresh ratification of boundaries. The in- numerable small German States which had existed before the French revolution, and which had been what diplomatists call mediatised, or, as plain people call it, swamped, at the setting up of the Bonapartist Confederation of the Rhine—these all remained swallowed up by their powerful neigh- bours. Holland, having ceded her German pos- sessions, was consoled with the Belgic provinces, and became a kingdom and Switzerland remained much as befure. In the same year, 1815 political pharisaism accomplished its masterpiece, the Holy Alliance between Austria, Russia, and Prussia, by which they bound themselves to act tor the future on Christian principles only, and immediately proceeded to enforce the absolute supremacy of Kings as the one great principle ul hristiani'.y. j|All Europe acquiesced in the an nouncement, with three notable exceptions—thi Sultan, whose opinion was not asked, and Eng- and, and the Pope, who both declined to h-M -inything to do with the imposture.—Pall .Mull Gazette. BULLETS AND THEIR BILLETS.—• While every- body around us,' says the Temps, has progressed, the art of killing our fellow-creatures seems alone to have remained immoveable during the last century. In the time of Marshal Saxe, each man that was killed in battle represented a quantity of bullets equal to his own weight. Notwithstanding the invention of rifled guns the proportion remains about the same. At Solferino, for example, the \ustrians fired 8,400,000 musket shots, while the number of killed among the French was but 2,000 and of the wounded 10,000. Thus a man was hit every 700 shots, and one killed every 4,200.' BROTHER IGNATIUS. The monastery founded by Brother Ignatius is now closed, the tenants having been succeeded by a 'man in possession.' It is stated, however, that an effort will be made to reopen the house with a fresh set of monks. The works of a nearly finished new chapel at the rear of the monastery have been suspended, and the brethren of the English order of St. Benedict have completely suspended operations in Norwich for the present. The Rev. G. Drury, rector of Claydon, Suffolk, who first introduced Brother Ignatius to the eastern counties, is understood to have now taken a prominent part in closing the establishment at Norwich. A CLERGYMAN'S SON KILLED IN A FIGHT.—A shocking occurrence took place at Sabden, near Clitheroe, last Friday night, by which the son of the Rev. R. Moore, incumbent of Sabden, was so severely injured that he died the same night. It appeared that the deceased, a lad aged nine, had been playing at cricket with other boys, and when returning home, he quarrelled with a boy two years older than himself. From words they got to blows, and Moore's antagonist being stouter and stronger, the little fellow was soon seen to get the worst of the fight, and ultimately received a severe blow, which felled him to the ground. It was then found that he was almost insensible, and he was taken up and conveyed home. Medical aid was called in, but the little sufferer was so seriouly hurt that he died soon afterwards. THE OUTBREAK OF CHOLERA AT ANTWERP.— An Antwerp letter gives some further details of the outbreak of cholera on board an emigrant ship in that port, already mentioned in this paper. The vessel was preparing to leave with several hundred passengers, when two cases of the malady oc- curred the sufferers were immediately removed on shore, and taken to the civil hospital. Shortly after, the ship left the dock, and profiting by the tide, started for her destination, but had not left the river before some other cases broke out, and she returned, with the intention of again mooring inside, in order to land her sick, but the authorities refused permission. Consequently the vessel re- mained in the river near Lillo, which place also refused to receive the patients. That state of things could not, however, last without leading to terrible consequences, and an application was made to the government at Brussels the Minister of War then allowed Fort Doel to be placed at the disposal of the emigrants both sick and healthy Dr. Gregoire, a medical man of Antwerp, was ap- pointed by the authorities to render assistance, and he immediately repaired to his post with a doctor of the locality. A MURDERER'S CONFESSION,—The murder of the Deering family in Pennsylvania by Anton Probst is certainly the most cruel and awful crime ever recorded. After describing, in his confession to his priest, the first murder—that of a boy em- ployed on the farm-he says:—'The sight of the blood of the boy produced in me a devilish and blood-thirsty feeling, and I determined at once to murder the whole family.' He then proceeded to his dreadful day's work, enticing thefamily one by one to the barn and murdering them with an axe —mother, father, relatives, children, even the infant in arms—until at last he stood alone with fourteen mangled and dead bodies at bis feet. He said in his first confession that he bad an accomplice, but be now admits that he was unaided, and that he would have confessed to all the murders at first but for fear that the mob would have torn him to pieces. He says that at the time he went to live with Mr Deering he contemplated robbing him, and found that he could not do so without killing him but the murder of the children—at least of the baby-would seem to have been unnecessary for the purpose of robbery, and to be attributable only to diabolic fnry. After securing seventeen dollars and some articles, he put on the murdered man's clothing, washed, ate some bread-and-butter, and went off, but not out of the neighbourhood. The confession, especially in the details of his murder of the children, on which he dwells with a kind of relish, and during the recital of which he frequently laughed,' is the most horrible we have ever read. Probst went to America from Bremen in 1863, and says that he never did any wrong in Germany. His father and mother are living at Baden. He is twenty four years old. He twice enlisted in the Federal army and twice deserted. SUSPECTED MURDER, THROUGH JEALOUSY, AT EDMONTON.—On Monday night, about twelve o'clock, a poor woman, aged 34, the wife of Thomas Hopkins, 29, labourer, residing at 5, Heaton-place, Fore-street, Edmonton, came to her death under circumstances which lead to a suspicion that she was deliberately murdered by her husband. It appears that he had been to Rye House to spend the day with some of his companions, and on re- turning home about ten o'clock found his wife absent. He then went out to seek her, and went to the Bell Inn, where he saw his wife in company with some other persons. From there be went home, and appears to have awaited her return, and in the interim, it is stated, he was heard sharpen- ing a knife on the hearth stone. On her coming home about twelve o'clock, to the small down- stairs room they occupied as lodgings, he went into the passage to meet her, and here some kind of scuffle seems to have taken place. A dreadful shriek was heard, and the poor woman was found bleeding fast from a severe wound ,in the neck. The husband then ran off for Dr Biddle, who, though in quick attendance, found the unfortunate woman dead. The husband was taken into custody by James Edwards, 231 y. The unfortunate couple have only been married twelvemonths, the deceased being then a widow, with two children, earning her living as a laundress, and bearing a very respectable character. The husband appears, however, to have led a very dissolute life, and was of such violent habits as to necessitate some of the innkeepers to forbid him the house. For some considerable time latterly there has been jealousy between them, he having been in the habit of visiting a bouse of ill-fame in the neighbourhood, and from which he has lately been fetched away by his wife. Owing to this rumoured that she had threatened to destroy her own life, and some persons in the neighbourhood think there is a possibility that she inflicted her own death wound. The prisoner was brought up before Mr Busk, chairman of the Edmonton petty sessisns, on Tuesday, on a charge of wilful murder, and was remanded for further inquiry. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER.~A shocking attempt to murder a non- commissioned officer has just occurred at Fulwood Barracks, near Preston. The companion of Pri- vate Hayes, of the 2d Battalion of the 2]st Regi- ment, was locked up at the beginning of the Whit- suntide festivities for being drunk, the officer who gave the order being Serjeant Sweeney. Hayes got very angry at this, and determined to have revenge of a most murderous kind. It is customary for the non-commissioned officers to have staff parade in the large square at the barracks, and whilst they were going through this the next morning Hayes came out of his quarters, and marched within about twenty-five yards of the men, for the purpose, as it transpired, of seeing where Serjeant Sweeney was placed in the ranks. Having satisfied himself he retired to a distance of 40 yards from them. He then raised a rifle, which he had brought out with him, took an aim, and then deli- berately fired it at the head of the person whom he thought to be Sergeant Sweeney, but who was afterwards found to be Serjeant Rogers. At the time he discharged the rifle he exclaimed, I'll give it you now,' and then made off. By a most fortu- nate circumstance the life of Serjeant Rogers was saved. The rifle which Hayes had brought out with him was sighted for a distance of 400 yards, and as be was only 40 from the serjeants when he fired the ball went higher than he aimed it, but so near was it that all the serjeants heard it whizzing just over their heads. Serjeant Sloan, of the 68th Regiment, followed Hayes immediately the ball had passed, overtook him, seized him by the neck, and held him until assistance came. Hayes was then taken to the guard-room and handcuffed. He was afterwards taken before the captain, and on being asked why he had fired the rifle he openly confessed that he wanted to shoot Serjeant Sweeney, and no one else. He has been about a dozen years in the 2d battalion of the 21st Regiment, and has been at Fullwood Barracks about twelve months He is a middie-aged man, and before enlisting in the 21st Regiment, was irummed out of the Marines for desertion. He is now in the guard-loom, where he will remain until he authorities have decided whether he shall be tried by court-martial or by the civil functionaries, t is not yet five years since a private named vI'Kaffery shot Colonel Crofton and Adjutant Janhara at thp same barracks.

SUICIDE ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.— An inquest was held at the Dog and Pheasant, Paper Mills, near Cambridge, on Saturday, relative to the death ot Mr Uriah Handley, senior partner in the firm of Handley and Todd, of Cambridge. The evidence showed that on Friday, as a coal train approached a bridge which carried the New- market-road over the line, a man peeped round the abutment, and when the train was about twenty yards off deliberately stepped forward, and, kneel- ing down, laid his body across the rail. The driver shouted out, but had not time to pull up the train. Afterwards the body, which was literally cut in two, was identified as that of Mr Handley. A relative of the deceased deposed to his having been ill and worried by business for some time before his death. The verdict found was that deceased had destroyed himself whilst in a state of temporary insanity.

THE LONDON MARKETS- CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANR, MONTM*, May21.- There was a moderate supply of wheat from Eot-ex ana Kent this morning; that oi barley, beans, and peas limited; with short arrivals ot oats from Scotland, and also of English by the railways, but none from Ireland. The imports of foreign wheat and barley have been good; those of oats very large, with a lair quantity of flour. The weather was dry the whole of the past week. The first four days were cold and cloudy, the tast three bright and sunny, closing with a higher temperature. The wind mostly from NE to SE. The weather has been fina and dry yesterday and this morning; nights cold. English wheat met a slow sale, at last Monday's prices, for all good qualities. The demand for foreign wheat was limited, and priccli were without any quotable varia- tion. Town flour was unaltered. Country marks were held firmly, at previous currencies. French and Ameri- clinø steady in value. Malting barley was in good re- quest, at Is per quarter advance. Grinding samples weto the same as last week. Malt sold lor tully as much money steadily. Beans were quite as dear. Peas met Is fair inquiry at full prices. Oats were taken off to* limited extent, at about 6d per quarter under lust Mon- day's quotations generally. Linseed was purchaaed slowly, at less money. Rapeseed was unaltered in value Not much passing in cloverseed, the season being about over. Tares were little asked for, and prices were nomi- nally the same as previously. BRITISH. Shillings per Qr.

BREAD. LONDON, MONDAY, May 21,—The prices of bread in the Metropolis are from 7jd to 8d; of household ditto, 6d to 7d per 4lb loaf.

— — METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET ¡ LONDON, MONDAY, May 21.-There was a fair average I supply of foreign beasts and sheep on offer to-day, but the quality of the stock was inferior. The trade waa is- active, and prices had a drooping tendency. The arrt. vals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing district were very moderate, but in prime condition. The re" ceipts from Ireland and Scotland were limited. Priog Scots and crosses moved off steadily, at very full prices; otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on for- r mer terms. A very few superior Scots produced 58 44. but the general top price was 5s 2d per 81b. From Nor- folk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,200 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 550 various breeds; from Scotland, 44 Scot* and crosses; and from Ireland, 40 oxen and heifers* Compared with Monday last, the supply of sheep was Oj1 the increase, whilst some breeds came to hand in ftf" average weight. Downs and half breeds were in mode- rate request, at full quotations, the highest rata beinjf 6s per81b; but heavy sheep were very dull, and qoite 2» per 81b lower.
