THE NEWS BUDGET. The Sir Hugh Myddelton Lifeboat.—A few weeks ago two concerts were given at Deacon's Music- hall, Clerkenwell, for the purpose of raising the cost of a lifeboat, to be called the Sir Hugh Myddelton. The proceeds, in conjunction with some contributions collected in the locality, have realised .£100, which amount, as an instalment, has been handed by the committee to the National Lifeboat Institution. Mr. Deacon, Mr. H. W. Underbill, Mr. Hele, and other friends, are very sanguine of realising during the present winter the full cost of a lifeboat and its tran- sporting carriage, which amounts to £ 400. Longevity.—An old person was buried last week at King's Heath-Ann Fereday-whohad attained the extraordinary age of 101 years. ? The old lady, it seems, had been a resident, at King's Heath up to September last, when she came' to reside at the back of 12, Brearley-street West. With the exception of a paralytic stroke, which she had suffered during the last six months, and a slight deafness, she was in possession of all her faculties, and during the last three years had survived a fracture of the arm and a dreadful worrying by a dog. 8 The Lash at Woolwich.-Some correspondence has taken place between the military authorities at Woolwich and the War Department, relative to the numerous cases of flogging which have recently taken place at that garrison, especially at the Royal Marine Barracks. The officers at Woolwich are anxious to abolish the lash, as far as possible, and took the initia- tive by forwarding a communication on the subject to the Secretary of State for War, and the subject is now under consideration. In addition to the cases pre- viously mentioned, about a fortnight since, and on the day following an anti-flogging meeting held at the Town-hall, Woolwich, three Marines each received fifty lashes; but subsequently several prisoners have been convicted for similar offences, and the punishment of the lash has not been inflicted. Christmas Lotteries.—At the Southwark Police- court a respectable-looking woman came to com- plain of the conduct of a shopkeeper in Newington for refusing to deliver the prizes which had been drawn in a lottery at his shop. Her husband had purchased three tickets for 3s. each, and one came up a prize for a goose, another a pair of fowls, and another a rabbit; but when she went with the tickets the shopkeeper laughed at her, and said they were blanks. This, she assured the magistrate, was not the case. The clerk told the applicant that she could not have any assistance. She might sue the shopkeeper at the county court, but the judge would probably refuse to interfere since the lottery was illegal, and the shop- keeper was clearly liable to penalties, and so were all engaged in lotteries. He advised the applicant to have nothing to do with such places. The Birkenhead Ra,ms.-We are informed on undoubted authority that the Messrs. Laird have re- ceived several bona fide offers for their celebrated iron- clad rams from friendly Powers who are at peace with themselves and all the rest of the world. Messrs. Laird have positively declared that the vessels are not for sale; and it would thus seem that they have no desire to shirk the responsibility of proving that they took the order for the construction of the ships in the first instance from parties whose connection with either one or the other of the American belligerents it will be difficult, if not impossible, to show. The last offer for the purchase of the rams" was refused only in the early part of this week.-Army and Navy Gazette. The Sea Fisheries.—Professor Huxley and Mr. G. Shaw Lefevre, the Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the sea fisheries in the United Kingdom, sat at the Guildhall, Exeter, last week. A great deal of evidence was given with refer- ence to the fisheries in the tidal part of the Exe, extending from the bar to Salmon-pool, a distance of ten miles. It was stated that the fishermen of Exmouth, Lympstone, and Topsham were in the habit of using seines of a very small mesh," by which the quantity of fish had materially decreased within the last ten or twelve years. It was suggested, in order to remedy this state of things, that the Legislature should enact that no net smaller than the salmon-net—a two-inch mesh—should be used; and, in order that this might be duly enforced, it was suggested that the coast- guardsmen should be charged with the duty of inspect- ing the fishing-boats, and that where fish was' found below the proper size, the offending party should be summoned before the magistrates. Death of Deau Swift's Successor.—The Dean of St. Patrick's has just died in the 77th year of his age. Dr. Pakenham was successively incumbent of Laracor, in which parish, as well as the deanery of St. Patrick's, he was one of Dean Swift's successors; Ballyroan, Queen's County; and Ardbraccan, in the diocese of Meath. He was also Archdeacon of Emly. The gross income of the deanery of St. Patrick's is < £ 1,200 a year, but the net income is said not to exceed < £ 900. It is stated that the late dean spent above .£2;000 of his own money in repairing the cathedral, which he found in a dilapidated state. His sister was married to the Duke of Wellington, who once wrote a characteristic note declining to make him a bishop on the ground of this relationship. His two brothers, Sir Edmund and Sir Hercules, rose to high distinction in the army. The appointment of a successor to the vacant deanery lies with the Chapter. A Pugilist at H me."—A good story is cur- rent respecting King, the pugilist, and the "host" of Hassocks'-gate Inn, where he resided during his train- ing. It appears that a day or two previous to the encounter with Heenan, King, during his "play hours" from training—the "ruling passion" being strong in him—induced "mine host" to have a set-to in the parlour, the host to do all the hitting the great pugilist stipulating not to return it, but only to parry the blows. Warming at his work, mine host" let fall his blows both fast and furious. Now," said King, who was standing with his back close to the wall of the room, hit me full in the face." Quick as thought the request was responded to, and with equal quickness did King avoid the blow by shifting his head, when the knuckles of the worthy host went with such tremendous force against the wall that the sponge was immediately thrown up. Indeed, so serious was the injury sustained, that "mine host" was compelled to seek surgical aid in Brighton, and there is every probability of. his retiri ng a lasting memento of the visit of the great Dugilist to his house. New County Court Rules.-A number of new rules to regulate the practice of county courts, both in bankruptcy cases and on general answers, come into force with the new year. The rules have been sanc- tioned by the Lord Chancellor, and his lordship is empowered by them to make special rules for the offices. There is to be a county court office in every place where a county court is holden, and when there is a market day no Saturday half-holiday is to be taken. Some forms and a list of fees appear in the orders. On a judgment summons the defendant can pay the money at any time "before his body is de- livered to the gaoler." A New Library Company.-The prospectus of the English and Foreign Library Company has been issued. The capital is to be .£100,000 in 10,000 shares of < £ 10 each, with a deposit of < £ 1 on application and ■ £ 1 10s. on allotment. The objects of the enterprise clearly set forth, and it is proposed to purchase stock and good-will of Hookham's Library, in Old S.taW?t^eet' which> founded in 1764, is the oldest of the kind exist5ng the metropolis. Xwiiil arrangement a library in full working f-L r! obtained, while the management business ? r? ncipals is also secured. According to the 11 ations a clear Profit of twelve per cent, on the purchase money will be returned. The Lancashire Coal Trade.-Not for two years has the coal trade of this neighbourhood been in so prosperous a conation as it is at the present mo- ment The excellent demand which has been noticed for the past week or two still continues without any signs of abatement, lhe supply required for ton/e consumption is as large as can be expected while the weather is so unseasonable, and the quantity wanted for the export trade is, in spite of high freights, much above the average in consequence of the reduction in tJxe get at the collieries in the Welsh coalfield. The cotton trade shows no signs of improvement but it must be remembered that the quality of the coal used in this branch of manufacture is of the commonest and is not worth bringing to bank unless a safe and ready market can be found for it. Hundreds of tons of this description of coal have, therefore, been left in pits, to allow the better sorts to be brought to the surface. The number of masters who have given the extra, wages to their men has been slightly increased since the last week, but the advance will now be generally adopted, it is said, in redemption of the promise made to the men, that. if -the additional Is. a ton could be obtained they would again consider their demand for an extra 10 per cent. No doubt whatever is felt: as to: the result, the only question being as to the precise time at which the alteration shall be made. With this dispute settled, along season of prosperity may be expected. for, the, trade. Longevity without Medicines—Amongst the deaths in the metropolis last week were two cen- tenarians. The widow of a bookbinder died at the age, of 100 years, at New Compton-street, St. Giles; she never had occasion to calLin a doctor, except once for an accident, and both sight and memory were good to the'last. A farmer died at the age of 101 years at Smith street; Clerkenwell; he 'had never taken medicine in his life. Last summer he was able to make hay and dig potatoes. If he: had taken medicine he might have lived even longer. Loans in Europe.—A correspondent of the Salut Public of Lyons makes the subjoined statement:— "The loans open in Europe at the present moment are these: the Germanic Diet asks for 17,000,000 florins (42,500,000f.); Russia, 50,000,000 roubles (200,000,000f.) -she wants 200,000,000 roub.; Austria, 100,000,000 florins (250,000,000f.)- Spain, 300,000,000 reals (75,000,000f.); Italy, 200,000,000f., the balance of the last loan; Sweden, 33,000,000 rix.dollars(181,500,00.0f.); Denmark, 10,000,000 thalers (37,500,000f.); Prussia, 14,000,000 thalers (52,500,0Q0f.); and Greece,2,000,OOOf. The above does not include the smaller states of Ger- many, which will each require a few millions for the Federal execution. General Ludwig has already asked the Baden Chambers for 2,300,000 florins (5,750,000f.), which must be raised by borrowing. The sums men- tioned above form a total of about 1,000,000,000f." Marriage of Canon Stanley.—The marriage of the Rev. Professor Stanley, D.D., late Regius Pro- fessor of Ecclesiastical History, and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, the Dean of Westminster (nominate), with the Lady Augusta Frederica Elizabeth Bruce, daughter of the late Thomas, seventh Earl of Elgin, and sister to the late Governor-General of India, has just been celebrated in Westminster Abbey, by special license. In consequence of the very recent decease of Lord Elgin, the wedding was strictly private, no invitations having, as we understand, been issued, beyond the immediate families of the bride and bride- groom. A large number of the friends and relatives had, however, assembled to witness the ceremony, and completely filled the choir. The service was most impressively read by the Dean of Christ Church, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Haden, the Precentor of the Abbey. After the conclusion of the ceremony, the "Hallelujah Chorus" was performed on the organ by Mr. Turle. The Lady Augusta was formerly Lady in Waiting to her late Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and has been since and up to the present time Resident Bed-chamber Woman" to her Majesty the Queen. Holyrood Palace.—It will afford general gratifi- cation to the public (says the Scotsman) to learn that several valuable additions to the collection of Royal pictures at Holyrood.are about to be made by command of her Majesty. In the large collection in Hampton Court there are a good many duplicate portraits of Royal personages connected more or less directly with Scottish history, and on the attention of the Queen being drawn, through the proper official channels, to this circumstance, and the suggestion made that some of these might be spared from the richly clothed walls of Hampton Court Palace to the more needful and not less Royal and appropriate Holyrood, her Majesty at once acquiesced in the propriety of the transfer, and exhibited much personal interest in the selection of the pictures. As the arrangements are not yet com- pleted, we cannot give any list of the paintings, but may mention that both their number and their value are considerable. We believe that, in conjunction with the Home Secretary and the Lord Advocate, through whom the necessary communications were made, Mr. Forbes, of Medwyn, is entitled to the credit of being the means of obtaining for Scotland this valuable mark of Royal favour. Mr. Forbes has, we believe, taken much trouble in the matter, and his success must be very gratifying to all who feel an interest in our Scot- tish historical monuments. The Career of an Escaped Convict.—At the Woolwich Police-court Charles Foster, alias George Ball, was placed at the bar before Mr. Maude on a remanded charge of making his escape from the Dartmoor Convict Prison, where he was undergoing a sentence of fifteen years' penal servitude for com- mitting a highway robbery with violence. Benjamin Sims, a convict warder at Dartmoor, stated that the prisoner was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation; at the Lewes Assizes in December, 1858. He was con- fined at the Dartmoor Prison in the same cell with two other convicts, named Joseph Hampshire and John Robinson and on the night of the 31st of March, I860, the prisoner and his companions made their escape, by removing the iron bars of the cell and climbing to the roof of buildings which communicated with the outer wall of the prison. Robinson was subsequently apprehended, but Hampshire is still at large. Police-constable Randall proved apprehending the. prisoner at the Royal Artillery Barracks, and on telling him the charge the prisoner said, "As you seem to know all about it, it is of no use to deny it." It appears that since his escape from Dartmoor the prisoner sailed from Cardiff for America and enlisted in the Confederate army. He was taken prisoner by the Federals, and through the interest of Lord Lyons was enabled to return to England. He appears to be a man of some education, and about three weeks since he delivered a lecture upon "Africa" to the troops of the garrison. Mr. Maude committed the prisoner for trial at the Old Bailey Sessions. Skinning a Dog Alive.-At the county magis trates' office, at Rochester, Nathaniel Brazier and Isaiah Francis, labourers, were charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with cruelly torturing a dog on the 12th inst.* by flaying it alive. Mr. Prall, instructed by Mr. Colam, the secre- tary, prosecuted; and Mr. Bassett appeared for the prisoners, who had been apprehended on a warrant by the officer of the Royal Society. Mr. Prall said he was instructed to press for the heaviest possible penalty, as the offence was one of the worst ever brought before a court. It appeared from the evidence of a lady and other respectable witnesses that the prisoners were actually engaged in cutting off the skin from a dog while alive, and were so engaged for about half an hour under the sea-wall at Gillingham, and that upon being disturbed they threw the wretched and mutilated animal into the Medway, where it struggled violently, and was ultimately drowned by one of the prisoners, who held it under water with a scull or oar. For the defence it was contended that the throat was cut pre- viously, but upon recall of the witnesses it was shown that this was not done until half an hour after the head, the body, and the hind legs had been flayed. The Rev. Mr. Formby (chairman of the bench) said it was with great pain that the magistrates had felt it their duty to convict the prisoners. In all his experience he had never heard of a more gross case of cruelty. The evidence was very conclusive, and it was most gratifying that there existed a society energetic and diligent to punish offenders against dumb animals. The prisoners would be committed to Maidstone gaol for two months with hard labour. Attempted" Murder near Stamford.-Ann Webster, the wife of a farming man living at a some- what lonely cottage at Castertan, near Stamford, was on Saturday evening fired at by some one outside, re- 3eiving part of the charge in her head. She rushed Dutof the house and saw a man whom she did not know, and then ran to the farm residence of Mr. Daw- son, several hundred yards distant, where she arrived oleeding. In the meantime, however, two labourers who had passed the house but a few minutes before on their way home heard the report of a gun, followed by shrieks. They turned back in the direction whence the noise came, when they saw a man running down the road leading from the house, and coming towards them. They state they saw him hide something in a rut in the road, and afterwards pick it up and throw it in a hedge. They stopped him and asked him what he had done, and he replied that he had done nothing. They took him back to where they saw him throw something in the hedge, and there found a gun, where- upon he was conveyed to Mr. Dawson's and hand- cuffed. What could have led to the commission of the act cannot at present be satisfactorily ascertained. The woman, it is thought, will recover. Commutation of Sentence.-The sentence of, death passed upon Patrick Hirley has been commuted to penal servitude for life. It will be remembered that at the recent assizes at York, Hirley was con- victed of the wilful murder of Anthony Golding, at Leeds, by stabbing him during an Irish row in one of the public streets. The jury, in announcing the verdict to the court, stated that, although they had, accord- ing to the law as laid down by the learned judge, felt it their duty to return a verdict of wilful murder, they were nevertheless of opinion that the circum- stances attending the crime were' such as ought to exempt the prisoner from being punished with death. Mr. Justice Mellor. consequently Ittid the case before the Home Secretary, and Sir George Grey, on the recommendation of his lordship, has advised that the clemency of the Crown shall be exercised in favour of the otilpr-it. General Meagher.—According to the following extract from the Boston-Pilot, the reported capture of General Meagher by the Confederates was without foundation We are pleased to learn that the state- ment published on the 7th inst., that General Thomas Francis Meagher was captured by the rebels, during the recent movement of the army of the Potomac, is entirely false. He was on a visit to the remnant of his old Irish Brigade when the advance upon the enemy was ordered, and, as! might be expected from his pre- vious career, which has been remarkable for undaunted courage and pluck, he went with them into the front of danger; but he was not taken prisoner. He returned with them across the Rapidau, and is now the guest of General Corcoran, at Fairfax Court-house. His recep- tion by his old comrades and brother generals, through- out the entire army, is 'said to have been most cordial and enthusiastic." Charge of Torturing a Horse.—James Clark, a brickmaker, of Amersham, Bucks, and said to be in an extensive way of business, and John Baldwin, a' carter in his employ, were charged at. Marlborough- street Police Court, by Mr. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the former with having caused a horse to be cruelly tortured, and the latter with torturing the same. It appeared .from the evidence of Inspector Garforth, of the E division, that he took Baldwin, the driver of the horse, into custody on the 18th ult., while driving the animal in Mortimer-street. The wretched animal was in a most deplorable state, and it was a matter of surprise that he could have walked the distance, leaving the load it had to draw out of the question. The defendant Baldwin was remanded, andMr. Lovenow now brought the action against his master, he (Bald- win) being discharged. Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon, having deposed that he could scarcely call the poor animal a horse, it being only the remains of one—poor, weak, and decrepid-with broken knees of old standing, one of them recently cut to the extent of three inches, the animal having also a disease of the skin, Mr. Love said that was his case. Mr. Knox said it was a shocking thing to work a horse in such a state, and he would advise Mr. Clark to have it destroyed. After some conversation, Mr. Clark con- sented to this course, and as the expenses incurred amounted to X2 2s., Mr. Knox said he would only impose a fine of Is. The society's officer was then ordered to see the horse put out of its misery. English Visitors at Cannes.—A letter from Cannes says ::—" Visitors here are enchanted with the almost indescribable mildness of the weather. The thermometer marks 48 deg. Fahrenheit at eight in the morning, and 58 at midday. The orange-trees and many others are covered with flowers. A concert was given at the Grand Cercle yesterday by Mdmes. Leona and Dorseni, of the Scala Theatre, at Milan. The hall was full, and Lord Brougham was present among the numerous company, in which many foreign ladies shone by their beauty and elegance." Christmas among the Deaf and Dumb.— At this festive period of the year it is gratifying to know that a portion of the poor population of the metropolis, suffering under a terrible calamity, have not been neglected or uncared for. For some years past it has been the custom of a committee of bene- volent ladies and gentlemen to entertain at a dinner on Chrismas-day a number of deaf and dumb free of cost, and, therefore, on that day a number of our poor deaf and dumb population of both sexes and of all ages, to the extent of some 200, dined at Mr. Jones's, the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, the ex- penses being defrayed by the committee referred to above. Mr. Burns occupied the chair. Having par- taken of a sound and substantial repast, consisting of good old English cheer, roast beef, plum pudding, &c., the chairman explained by the means of signs to those present that he was sure that the deaf and dumb were deeply grateful to those benevolent persons who had been instrumental in contributing to the welfare of the deaf and dumb. Several other speeches followed, and those present testified in their own peculiar man- ner the delight and appreciation in which they re- garded the annual re-union, to the promoters of which, it is needless to state, they evinced the most profound gratitude. Discipline in the "Volunteer Service.—Col. Ibbetson reviewed a Cambridgeshire volunteer corps a few days ago, and pui tho serg-eant-znajor under arrest for "answering" him. He told the corps their per- formances were discreditable; that the. sooner they resolved to sink volunteer independence in military dis- cipline the better it would be for them, and that Go- vernment now required, in return for its money contributions, a certain degree of efficiency, and that he could not certify them as coming up to that standard. He refused to certify for the allowance. There is a great deal of tact required in dealing with the body. The full military power must not be exer- cised over them, or else the service will become irk- some, and if irksome, or a body of men who are inde- pendent are insulted, they will resign in a body; and we cannot afford this. If the force were not in exist- ence, our diplomatists would soon have to alter their tone to the Continent, and be a little milder. The Great Ship Company. — The case of Parry v. the Great Ship Company has come before Mr. Justice Mellor, in the Judges' Chambers, in a somewhat novel form. The plaintiff had levied an exe- cution on the ship and stores at Liverpool. Claims of .£100,000 had been made on the property, and on the application of the Sheriff of Lancashire an inter- pleader issue had been directed to try the question. The stores, &c., were to be sold, and the money paid into court to abide the result of the interpleader issue, which was to be tried in London. On the part of the claimant it was sought to sell some of the property on board the vessel, and counsel appeared in the case. Mr. Justice Mellor ordered that the stores should be sold on shore, and the furniture and other articles which could not be removed without damage to the ship to be sold on board. The public to have i access to the ship. Lamentable Death.—An adjourned inquest was held at Old Basford, last week, by Mr. Swann, coroner, on the body of a young woman named Ann Hopewell. The deceased, who was a single woman, eighteen years of age, complained last week of being ill, but, although I medicine was given her, she got worse and died. Mr. Buckby, surgeon, stated that he made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased, in conjunction with his assistant. The stomach was almost empty, and in a healthy state, and there was no appearance of any poison having been taken. There was evidence of some sharp instrument having been used, and of the deceased having given birth to a child. He had no doubt whatever that some means had been used to procure abortion, and that the incomplete birth was the cause of death. The injuries could not have been 1 self-inflicted. The coroner, in summing up, said if the jury should be of opinion that the death of the deceased was the result of injuries inflicted upon her, the matter would remain open for further inquiry, and efforts i would be made to discover the person who operated ] upon her. The jury at once returned a verdict to the i effect that the death of the young woman arose from an attempt to procure abortion. 1 Death on the Moors.-The Glasgow. Herald announces the death of Mr. Alexander Mitchell, clerk | to the Commissioners of Supply for the county of Argyle, under very melancholy circumstances. He "3 was one of a party who went out on Friday last white hare shooting, with the Duke of Argyle's game- keepers. The party separated after a few hours' 1 sport, rain coming on. Each left the ground as best 1 he could. In the evening it was discovered that Mr. ( Mitchell had not reached home. As there was mist ( on the hills his absence caused much anxiety, and immediately the duke's gamekeepers, accompanied] by shepherds and tenants in the neighbourhood, made £ a search over the shooting ground. The search was unfortunately unavailing, and though renewed on ( Saturday was attended by no better result. On Sun- i day nearly all the people of Inverary, as well as the i tenantry and their shepherds, set out at daybreak, and about one o'clock Mr. Mitchell's body was found on the moor, between Lochfyne and Lochawe. From i the position in which the body was found, death is supposed to have resulted from a sudden stoppage of the circulation of the blood. 1 The Monetary System.-The Council of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce held another meeting 1 yesterday upon this question, and passed resolutions to the effect that the convertibility of the Bank note was a primary object in any system of currency that it was incumbent on the Legislature to provide for this convertibility; and that the provisions of the Bank Act of 1844 did not meet the approval of the council. A motion to the effect that the function of issuing notes to be legal tender should be taken from the Bank of England as soon as conveniently, prac- ticable, was lost by the casting vote of the chairman. Mri Bernard Hall gave notice of the following motion for next meeting:—"That in the opinion of this council the Bank Act of 1844 is, owing to the gradual increase of the commerce of the country, found to be too restrictive in its operation and injurious to trade, and that the attention of Government be called to the subject. The Future of Church-rates -In an address recently issued by the Church Institution, it is said It is understood that the Liberation Society is about to change its tactics. The principal work of that society is now to consist in promoting attacks on Church-rates in particular parishes on which oppo- nents will be furnished with funds to meet expenses in the law courts. The emissaries of the society and their organs in the press will aim more directly at the depoliticalisation of the Church, which simply means the spoliation of its lands, tithes, and rates, and its separation from the State." Determined Suicide—On Saturday evening a gentleman named Thomas Young, residing at No. 32, Grafton-road, Kentish-town, committed suicide in a very determined manner. He got upon the line near the North London and Hampstead Junction, and de- liberately placed his head upon the rails when the passenger train from Fenchurch-street was passing. The engine-driver sounded his whistle and endeavoured to stop the train, but before he could do so the guard in front of the engine struck the deceased on the side of the head, throwing him off the line. He was so dreadfully injured, however, that he shortly after- wards died. Steamboats and Prize Fights.-At the last weekly petty sessions held at Dartford, the superin- tendent of the Waterman's Steam Packet Company appeared for the directors to answer a summons at the instance of the Board of Trade, charging the de- fendants with illegally conveying passengers in the Gannet steam-vessel to a point farther than that for which the vessel was duly licensed. It appeared that on the 16th September the Gannet embarked two pugi- lists, named Roberts and Morrison, with a number of their adherents, who landed on a point below Gravesend, where a fight took place. The Gannet is licensed to convey passengers from London to Gravesend only. The bench inflicted a fine of 40s. and.£5costs.
