The Romantic Case of Attempted Suicide. -Harriet Maria Hayes, who was charged last week, at the Hammersmith Police-court, with attempting to commit suicide by swallowing laudanum, was brought up for re-examination. Additional evidence was given as to her having stated that she intended to destroy herself on account of a young man who had died from cutting his throat, and that she intended to follow him to the grave. The prisoner said she stated that she had quarrelled with a young man with whom she had been living about a young man who had cut his throat. Sergeant Warren, as well as a witness named Leach, stated that they understood her to have made the statement about following the young man to the grave. The prisoner's brother was examined, and he stated that his sister had been living with a railway constable, and that she had found out he was a married man. The prisoner began to cry, and said she was very sorry for what she had done. She promised that it should never happen again. Mr. Dayman told her that she had been guilty of a very wicked act. He, however, consented to deliver her up to her married brother when he attended. The prisoner was then removed to the cells, crying loudly. l

OUTLINES OF THE WEEK. THE news from America is as perplexing as ever; the contending armies appear to be equally matched, and neither of them seem able to follow up a victory with success, and we have reason to think, from the bearing of both powers, that the z, end of this horrid civil war is not yet. The New York papers state that on the 18th the Confede- rates surprised and took possession of Charleston, eight miles from Harper's Ferry, and up to the 19th the Confederate cavalry continued to operate on the rear of the Federals till General Meade was pushed to the front of the defences of Washing- ton. At this point, where a battle was considered as imminent, General Lee suddenly commenced a retreat, and the Federal cavalry advanced as far as Warrenton Junction without meeting the Con- federates, and it is reported that General Lee had recrossed the Rappahannock. The cause of this sudden change appears to be the advance of Burnside, who, defeating the Confederates in East Tennessee, had travelled along the Tennessee and Virginia Railway as far as Abingdon in Western Virginia, with about 14,000 men. From that place he was pushing on to Lynchburg, the centre of the railway system of Virginia, and the base of supplies for Lee's army. The news of this advance appears to have been hastily sent to Lee, who immediately retreated south of the Rappahannock, and dispatched General Hill's division to meet the Federal force. The efforts of the Confederates will, of course, be directed to prevent the occupa- tion of Lynchburg by Burnside. That place is in direct railway communication with Richmond, and from it, to the north-east, runs the railway to Fredericksburg, Culpepper, and other important points. It is believed, however, that Burnside is merely effecting a diversion; for he would hardly hold his own with so small a force as 14,000 men against the strength which Lee could oppose to him. Whatever may have been the object of the movement, it appears to have been thoroughly successful in stopping Lee's attack on Meade. Again we have intelligence that Rosecrans's power has ceased; from some cause or other his actions do not appear to have given satisfaction. General Grant, we are told, has been put into the supreme command of the armies of the Cumber- land, the Tennessee, and the Ohio; and General Thomas, who fought his division so nobly at Chickamanga, is entrusted with the direct com- mand of the army in Chattanooga. In the South we are told that Jeff. Davis has dismissed all the British consuls in the Southern States, because they directed the subjects claiming their protec- tion to throw down their arms if they were required to enter into conflict with the Federals. Again the North appears to be hard up for men, President Lincoln has made a call for 300,000 volunteers, which has been endorsed by Seymour, the Go- vernor of the New York State. If the number is not forthcoming by January, another unpopular draft is to be made. IT is fervently hoped that the Schleswig-Holstein question, so long debated, may at length be set- tled. A declaration has been made by the Danish Government which it is thought will meet with the wishes of the Federal Diet. The Danish Government say that they are willing to meet the desires of the Diet in all points where the rights of Germany or; Holstein are "insufficiently gua- ranteed." They assert that all which "execution" can effect will be more completely and more easily obtained by a calm understanding." This language looks peaceable, whatever its real mean- ing may be. THE fearful storm of Saturday and Sunday has caused much loss to property in and around the English coast. From Cornwall to Caithness, and on both sides of the island, there comes long and dreary lists of shipwreck, of vessels driven ashore and many of. them becoming total wrecks. The loss of life, we are glad to say, has been greatly diminished in consequence of the admirable man- ner in which lifeboats have been stationed all round the island.. There is hardly a place where a shipwreck occurred that has not some stirring tale to tell of the gallantry and daring of the life- boats' crews, and of their service in saving life. We should not omit to observe that Admiral Fitz- roy's signals of a coming storm were hoisted two days before we felt the gale. Englishmen are always tardy in their acknowledgments of ser- vices. The Admiral is, however, in communica- tion with the French Admiralty, and in this instance gave the same notice to them as he did to the English, and our friends across the Channel are loud and long in their praises of the weather prophet, and intend presenting him with a sub- stantial acknowledgment of his services. ACCOUNTS received of the behaviour of the iron- clad frigate Prince Consort during the late gale, represent her as a very bad sea boat. From the weight of her armour she would not rise to the waves, but shipped one green sea" after another, and the crew were standing on the decks up to their knees in water, the feeling of all on board being a wish that they might never again be sent to sea in an iron-clad. The labouring and straining of the ship led to the springing of a leak, and the late storm has certainly proved that, however noble the iron-clads may appear in tranquil waters, they will not breast the troubled sea; and the navigation of them, as they are at present built, is dangerous to those on board of them. IT is always justice to render honour to whom honour is due, and a kindly act on the part of a lady, and that lady the crowned head of one of the greatest Powers of Europe, is a fitting subject to chronicle.. The Empress of the French has been starring it about the Continent, and while staying at Cadiz, a ship of the line. put in with 1,100 Frenoh soldiers on board for Vera Cruz. The gallant fellows were stowed away like herrings in a barrel, and their bedding was limited to a blanket each. Her Majesty was told of the dis- graceful nature of the arrangements, and, bursting with indignation, she telegraphed to her Imperia spouse—" Sire, they treat your soldiers worse than African slaves." Then ordering half the regiment to be landed, they were hospitably enter- tained until a second ship w&s sent for their con- veyance. Another characteristic incident also marked the Empress's prog!Mss. Some days ago a telegram informed us that & bull-fight was to be inaugurated at Madrid for the delectation of the august visitors but her Majesty selected the day-purposely no doubt—to visit rche tomb of her sister, the Duchess of Alba, at Carabanchel. The consequence, of course, was that the Empress declined attending the brutal exhibition. In- cidents like these do much to make a sovereign popular, and the act of sympathy for poor soldiers will no doubt tell immensely on a susceptible nation like the French. THE Lord Chancellor's Augmentation Act came into operation on the first of the present month. The object of the Act is to increase the income of poor benefices. The smaller livings formerly in the gift of the Chancellor are now to be sold, and the proceeds to be employed in the increase of the income of smaller incumbencies. The proceedings under the Act are to be transacted by the Lord Chancellor's Secretary of Presentation, under the superintendence and control of his lordship. The Lord Chancellor is empowered to make general orders to carry out the Act, and returns as to the sales and purchase-money of the three hundred and twenty-nine livings he has at his disposal are to be laid before Parliament. THE youthful King of the Greeks has arrived in Athens, and received an enthusiastic reception from his subjects on landing at the Piraeus and on his entrance into his capital. The cession of the Ionian Islands by the English Government, it:is said, will be a saving of expense to this nation of upwards of a million a year. There is a little grum- bling going on amongst the Ionians at being turned. over to the kingdom to which they justly belong. Grumbling, of course, is the order of the day as well in Greece as any where else. They would grumble more, perhaps, if they had remained an English dominion when a sovereign was elected by the suggestion of England, and one who had the warm sympathies of the greater part of Europe. A STBIICE amongst the colliers in Durham has caused some anxiety, not so much through a scarcity of the useful mineral they are engaged in producing, as for the welfare of themselves. It 0 appears very horrible' to hear of poor people turned out of their houses, and their goods deposited in the open field, and the pitiable sight of men, women, and children exposed to the bitter cold and rain that we have lately witnessed was very sickening; but it must be known that really the masters were giving a good remuneration for labour, and were acting honourably to their men. It was a strike probably caused through parties too lazy to work themselves, and always ready to sow seeds of dissension between employers and employed. These mob orators are becoming too common in country places they point out grievances that have never been felt, and they endeavour to show inhumanity where none exists. In the instance, however, of the Durham colliers, we are happy to say it is likely to come to an end. The weather was so bad during the latter end of the week, that the masters had not the heart to carry out their plan of evicting the families of the workmen on strike, and this suspension of harshness on their side has led to a more moderate state of feeling on the other. A reference of the dispute to arbitration has been agreed- to on both sides, and it is hoped that the work in the mines will speedily be re- sumed.

WHY MB. RICHARDS ON WAS KILLED. One cannot but regret, says the London and China Telegraph, when such valuable lives as those of Captains Josling and Wilmot, with eleven British seamen have been sacrinced also 180,000 harmless people burned out of house and. home in Kagosima, that the cause should have originated in the arrogance and disregard for national customs of a party of our countrymen, who we may say deliberately rushed on their own destruc- tion. The Japanese authorities intimated that it was desirable that foreigners should not be riding on the Tokaido, or great public road on the 15th of Septemberlast, beetiiseit was probable that Daimios with their host of feudal retainers, unaccustomed to the sight of foreigners, would be travelling on it. This was notified to the community. On the evening of the 14th, Mr. Richardson, a young man proceeding home from China with a fortune, was visiting Japan on the way. That same evening he had intended- returning to Shanghae by her Majesty's dispatch boat Renard. z-, s At the request of Mrs. Borrodaile, a Hong Kong merchant's wife, also a visitor to Japan, he pro- longed his stay, and accompanied her, Messrs. Marshall and Clarke, on their injudicious ride to Tokaido that evening. They met for a consider- able extent of the road Daimios' retainers; and common sense ought to have dictated to them to return, as they knew perfectly that they must shortly come in contact with a Daimio himself. which they did, namely, Shimadsoo Sabura, the father of the Prince of Satsuma, a,nd which, un- fortunately, occurred at a point of the Tokaido where it is suddenly narrow; here the mounted party came in direct collision with the Daimio himself, and in place of getting off the road, which they could have done with the greatest ease, they remained upon it, drawing to one side only. They were then attacked, when they immediately got off the road. But by this time the fatal blows had been received by Richardson. That any blows were aimed at Mrs. Borrodaile the Japanese deny; they never strike at women with cutting instru- ments, and facts tend to support their statement, inasmuch as Mrs. Borrodaile's hat, as stated, was not cut in two, but picked up entire, having been lost by her in her flight. The story about her riding into the sea, preferring drowning to murder, is in advance of the fact; her pony took her through a swamp on his way to regain the road. —- Behind the Age.—During the present week (says

the Liverpool Post) a woman named Barlow, between seventy and eighty- years of age, left Bury to go to America,, where she expected to see her aunt, who is ninety-eight years of age. Mrs. Barlow had never previously ridden in a railway carriage, nor had she ever seen a ship or the sea. When approaching Liverpool she stood up in the carriage, and appeared to be much interested with the masts of the ships. At the present time there is a man living at Moss-lane, Unsworth, named John Fletcher, but better known by the cognomen of Jim o' Jacobs, the knife-trucker." He is eighty-nine years of age, and was never in a railway carriage, nor in an omnibus, nor did he ever see a ship or the sea, and he never carried an umbrella in his life. The Patent Ozonized Cod Liver Oil conveys arti- ficially to the lungs of the delicate and consumptive, ozone, the vital principle in oxygen, without the effect of inhalation, and has the wonderful effect of reducing the pulse to its proper standard, while it strengthens and invigorates the system— restoring the consumptive, to health, unless in the last stage.

OBTAINING LAUGHTER UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. -There are certain dislocations of words which sound like jokes, but which, upon examination, have but small pretensions to the honourable character of a joke. Of this particular dubious class, perhaps, the following may be cited as one of the best:—A gentle- man was relating that on the evening he was present at the Adelphi to witness the affecting drama of Leah, a lady, at the conclusion of the fifth act, had been carried out in violent hysterics. "Well?" said a notorious old offender, there's nothing very wonder- ful in that—isn't the scene laid in hi-Styria ? The persons charged with conspiracy in getting

up a sham insurance society have just been tried at the Central Criminal Court. Witnesses were called in their behalf, and the Common Sergeant summed up favourably for them. The jury, however, foumd them guilty, and they were each sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. A journal of Valencia, deploring the disaster which has happened to Nadar's balloon, adds :—For- tunately for science, our townsman, M. Dombort, con- tinues his labours, and will leave this place in the early part of January by flying through the air. He will confer immense honour upon his country, and ex- cite the envy of foreign nations." We regret to announce the death of Mr. W. Cubitt, M.P. for Andover, and late Lord Mayor of London.

In politics the deceased gentleman was a Conservative. Shocking Death of a Retired Tradesman. -An inquiry was recently held by Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, deputy-coroner, at the White Horse Tavern, White Horse-street, Stepney, touching the death of Mr. Richard Clough, aged GOyears, a wealthy tradesmen, who was burnt to death in his bed. William Hatch, brother- in-law of deceased, said that on Sunday night last ho called on deceased at his house, No. 3, Brook-street, where he was ill in bed. While downstairs witness heard shrieks from above. He lushed up and found the deceased lying on the bed surrounded by flames. The bedclothes, the tick, and the feathers, were in a blaze, and deceased seemed bewildered and uncon- scious. He could not speak from fright. Witness dragged him out of the bed, and he was found to be fearfully burned. His brother, who came in, became ill from the dreadful appearance presented. With great difficulty the fire was extinguished. Deceased explained afterwards that the light had fallen into the bed, and he was so disabled by rheumatic pains that he could not remove it. Dr. Bennington said that deceased was fearfully burnt, particularly in his limbs, and he died from his injuries on Monday morning. A juror said that deceased was a very eccentric person. He had considerable house property, and had a mania for collecting boots, which filled every room in his house. He was almost a miser. A verdict of aeci- cidental death by fire was returned.

AMERICA The Armies in Virginia and Tennessee. NEW YORK, OCT. 16. Secretary Chase has made a speech declaring that the English aristocracy and French despotism would like to see the Union destroyed. He attributes the non-intervention of foreign Powers to the groat display of Federal strength. He foresaw a grand future of power for America, and the time would arrive, he said, when England would regret her friendship with America's enemies. He felt certain that England, after calm reflection, would conclude that it was best to pay the American merchants for the damage done by the Alabama. NEW YORK, OCT. 17. General Lee occupies the greater portion of the Bull Run battle-field, while General Meade, having sent all trains and luggage to Alexandria, is in position near- 9 -is in p Centreville. It was reported yesterday that Hill's corps had moved from Meade's front, in the direction of Leesburg, as if intending to cross into Maryland. A heavy Federal reconnaissance was sent in that direction. No further development of the future tactics of either army has taken place. Advices have been received from Chattanooga to the 10th inst. The Federal artillery have compelled the withdrawal of Bragg's head-quarters from Missionary Ridge. The Confederate batteries have been with- drawn from the north-eastern slope of Look-out Mountain. The Confederates are building pontoons, probably with the view of crossing the river to flank Rosecrans. It is officially announced that General Lee has not crossed the Potomac. President Lincoln has called for 300,000 volunteers. By the arrival of the Persia at Liverpool, we have- intelligence from New York to the 21st of October. General Lee has retreated from the neighbourhood of Alexandria, on the Potomac, and has probably resumed his position on the southern bank of the Rappahannock. The rumours that he proposed to pass the river and to invade once more Maryland and Pennsylvania have proved unfounded. Dispatches from Washington state that the retreat of Lee's army was made in consequence of the advance in force of General Burnside upon Lynchburg (Va.),. where the rebels have their principal base of supplies. The news reached General Lee on the 16th Oct., by courier, and on the following day his retrograde move- ment commenced. The troops in advance, under- General Hill, were carried by an immense train of cars from Culpepper southward on Wednesday, and the main army followed by way of Warrenton and. Greenwich. The rebels have destroyed the railroad, between Manassas and the Rappahannock so com- pletely that not over a mile a day can be rebuilt. Culverts and embankments were blown up, and the rails twisted so as. to be useless. It is sup- posed that Lee's 'plan was to force Meade back to the defences of Washington, and, if he could not bring on a decisive engagement, to destroy the railroad to the Rappahannock, so as to delay Meade in pursuit two or three weeks, and then go down and- overwhelm Burnside, returning in time to check Meade again on the Rappahannock. On the evening of the 19th General Kilpatrick made a spirited attack upon two rebel brigades near New Baltimore, but finding that the rebels were cutting in. on his flank and rear he retreated to Haymarket, hotly pursued by the rebels. On the appearance of the first army corps, under General Cutler, the rebels fell back towards Aldie. Rebel accounts state that Burnside, with twenty- seven regiments of cavalry and mounted infantry, estimated at 14,000 men, passed Greenville, Tennessee, bound eastward, to make a raid on the Virginia and Tenessee Railroad. The Confederates fell back to Zallicoffa, and subsequently to Bristol. In three days' skirmishing the Confederate loss was 300 killed and wounded, the latter falling into the hands of the- Federals. On the 14th of October, Burnside reached Bristol, and was reported to have advanced towards Abingdon, Virginia, with a force estimated at 10,000 men. General Grant has been ordered to supersede Rose- crans. The change is said to be made in consequence-, of Rosecrans having moved beyond Chattanooga with- out orders from Washington, this having given great offence to the high military authorities. General. Grant has been placed in command of the departments of Ohio, Kentucky, and the Cumberland, while Gen. Thomas takes command of the army of the Cumber- land under him. General Rosecrans has been ordered to report to Cincinnati. The Memphis Bulletin states that General Joe John- son, with his entire force, excepting one division, has gone to reinforce Bragg, and that there was not over 10,000 rebel treops in Mississippi. Latest Confederate accounts from Charleston state that up to the 17th nothing of importance had oc- curred. The Federals were still busy erecting their batteries. A grand review of the troops by General Beauregard took place on the 16th Oct., that being the ninety-eighth day of the siege. NEW YORK, OCT. 24. General Grant is moving to take the command at Chattanooga. In consequence of the rising of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, Admiral Porter has taken the gun- boats to positions where they may be of service to the army at Chattanooga. It is reported that General Lee has sent two divisions to Bragg, and taken up a position in the rear of the; Fredericksburg defences. General Meade has returned to the front. No change in the- command is expected. There are now no Con- federates north of the Rappahannock. Meade's loss in the late campaign is estimated at 1,500. Lee's retreat south of the Rappahannock is con- firmed. It is reported that his tactics were to cover the departure of troops to check Burnside's advance towards Lynchburg. Meade holds the country east of the Rappahannock. It is reported that Bragg will be superseded. Dispatches have been received from Charleston to the 20th inst. The siege operations continue. At a Democratic mass meeting held in Now York, resolutions were passed declaring that the democracy will never consent to the destruction of the Union. There were minority ones for peace, but the majority favoured the prosecution of the war. French and English interference was repudiated. A declaration was made that no Emperor should ever be crowned in Mexico. General Meade has visited Washington for a con- sultation concerning the future of the North.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION. The official Wilna Courier announces that the- landowner Piotrowski and the peasants Horuszewski and Profunezuk have been hanged at Dobryn, in. the Government of Grodno, by order of General Mouravieff. A band of insurgents, consisting of 1,000 infantry and 300 cavalry, under the command of Clachowski, which crossed from Galicia into the Government of Radom on the 20th October, has been completely de- feated, after two engagements, near the village of Jakowice, by a detachment composed of six companies of infantry and one squadron of dragoons. One hun- dred and fifty of the insurgent infantry were made prisoners, and the rest destroyed. Clachowski fled with the cavalry. I.' rl

PRUSSIA. At the celebration of the anniversary of the foun- dation of the Cathedral of Magdeburg, the King of Prussia made use ot the following language, in answer- to the address presented to him:—"I feel the over- whelming weight of the struggle which God has im- posed on us, but I also know what I owe to my people and to the crown of Hohenzollern, which has been transmitted to me by inheritance, to maintain it courageously to the end. Come what may, I shall in- flexibly persevere in what I consider to be requisite for the good and for the independence of the country. I shall not turn aside from the path into which I have entered, and if you continue faithful to the oath which you have sworn, we shall be victorious in the end." According to the Magdeburg Gazette, these words made a profound impression. Prince Charles was the first to cry "Long live the King!" which was responded to by those present with enthusiasm. ♦ — Duty off Tea. —Full benefit obtained by purchasing fforni.
