MISCELLANEOUS. DR. THOM has applied to the Court of Queen's Bench for an opportunity of addressing the judges relative to the alleged impossibility of has appearing in person in that eourt as the prosecutor of the Over- end and Gurney directors. He considered that his jposition had been aggravated by the removal of the indictment from the Central Criminal Court into the teen's Bench, as at the former place counsel would iin all probability have been assigned to him by the judge. The Lord Chief Justice informed the appli- cant that he must address the court on some specific .motifflzs, and on Dr. Thorn suggesting that their lord- ships should put him in the way of proceeding regu- larly, the Chief Justice replied that the judges were not boraad to assist suitors in bringing their cases i forward, but to dispose of them when brought before cthe:oonrtt in the usual way.. VERY QUESTIONABLE. The following is a •parody upon the high-flown tone of the French irre- concilable press, and is scarcely exaggerated On the 2nd of December the night was pitch dark. The moon would not show herself. The streets were crowded with drunken soldiers, and occasionally the darkness was relieved shy the shimmer of a bayonet. A candle was' burning on a seventh floor. What business have they with a light ?" asks private 1,109. "I'll fire on them;" and he does so. When I have said that, it follows naturally that he fired-fired and hit. In that seventh floor was a family-grandfather, grand- mother, uncle, aunt, father, mother, and six children. "The six children could have done no harm to you M. Bonaparte < (so pays Our contemporary). The one bullet killed them all. It pierced the brain of the grandmother (I never knew they had any at their gr= n time of life), the head of the family, the breast of the uncle, riddled the rest of the family (a boy of eleven); sand who is the officer now who gave the order Fire P Heia Marshal of France. DEAR GOLD.-Hayti appears to be suffering i from the same gold-speculating troubles that embar- rass trade in the United States, but Hayti has them in greater degree. Gold is at so high a premium in the island that it has gone almost out of sight. It is ,quoted at 180,000 per cent. premium, or 1,800 dollars sin Haytian paper money for one dollar in gold. President Salnave determined to put a stop to this great depreciation of his currency, and, in order to accomplish his purpose, sent some of the gold brokers and speculators to prison, and pressed others into the army. It did no good, however, and the premium keeps on rising. When the last mail left, pork was < quoted at 50,000 dollars a barrel. THE CHANNEL PASSAGE.—An interesting dis- cussion took place at the Society of Engineers, at which the position given to the bridge project of M. Boutet at the previous meeting was fully maintained —that it is undoubtedly the best of the numerous projects for establishing a continuous railway across the Channel. It was clearly explained that there is to be seen at Paris, and had been seen by some present, a model 66 feet long, made to scale, which bore ten times the weight which would be required to •• be borne by the Channel bridge, constructed with less than one ton of metal, and that this rested on two abutments of rough timber which were incapable of sustaining any great strain, and it was urged that the English engineers should make themselves acquainted with the theory by which such extraordinary results have been obtained, and study it as a novelty, instead of judging it by existing examples of bridges.— Mining Journal. IN THE COURSE OF PROCEDURE, routine of practice, and extent of jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pleas at Lancaster, a fundamental change has just taken place. All proceedings connected, with the court were formerly transacted at the Prothonotary's office in Preston, wherever the cause of action arose within the county. By a recent Act of Parliament, however, which came into operation a j few days ago, proceedings may be taken in branch offices at Liverpool and Manchester, and the Post-office is made largely available in carrying out the pro- ceedings in an action. Writs may now also be issued out of this court to any shire in the kingdom, wherever a. defendant may happen to reside, WE (Standard) DEEPLY REGRET TO ANNOUNCE that the new Holborn Viaduct, which was only opened on Monday morning for general traffic, already ex- hibits signs of the immense weight which has to be sustained by the beautiful granite pillars. Some of the massive pillars on the east side of Farringdon- street have shown signs of a slight crushing. The' secondhand third pillars from the south side have fissures of from nine inches to a foot in length in the base stones, and the fourth is chipped at its bedding. The impression which a first examination of the pillars produces is that the lower stones have not (been truly set, and that the weight of the viaduct has "crushed out those portions which were not exactly level. We trust there is nothing worse than this the "matter with the costly structure, which is the occa- sion of so much pride to the citizens of London. MARRIED TO ORDER.—The Progres Egyptien of the 20th. ult. makes the following humorous reo marks on the Viceroy's efforts to gratify the Empress of the French during her lour in Egypt. Anxious tc show every attention to the august visitor whom it is about to receive, the Egyptian Government is ( engaged in preparing feasts and pageants designed tc make her Majesty the Empress better 'acquainted with Egypt and its people. Thus his highness has ,ordered that a marriage ceremony shall be devised foi her. But as weddings at Cairo, as elsewhere, do not take place every day, the difficulty has been promptly r provided against. An officer of the viceregal couri has been ordered to wed on the day whenever it may please her Majesty to witness the spectacle; and I • directions have been given to find him a wife, a dowry, and every other requisite, including a violent attach- meat to his future spouse, of whom as yet he knows nothing. Having taken up this line, the Egyptian -Government might also favour the Empress with the f. apectacle of a divorce, by order, before the Kadhi. Why not, moreover, the ceremonial of a burial ? A FATAL DUEL with sharpened foils was fought a few days back in the cavalry riding school at Castres (Tarn) between Captains Clémençon and Baignol, both officers of the 6th Hussars. The combat lasted. about 20 minutes, both adversaries being of about equal force. Clémençon had then received two slight wounds, and Baignol three, when the seconds, who were also captains, interposed and wished the affair to terminate, but Olomen^on positively refused, declaring that it should only end with the death of himself or his antagonist; the encounter was resumed, and a few seconds later Baignol ran the other through the heart, killing him instantly. The cause of the quarrel is not stated. IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS OF FRIENDLY SOCIE- TIES.—At Birmingham, Mrs. Isabella Aston, widow, summoned Mr. Edwards, secretary to the Indepen- dent Lodge of Foresters, Court Little John, for £ 15,1 alleged to be due on the decease of her husband, a member of the lodge. The society was a duly regis- tered one, and certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt. Rule 16 provides that "any member neglecting to pay ila arrears on or before the second meeting night after •quarterly night shall be suspended from all the bene- ifits of the society until three months after the date of i paying up such arrears, and if more than twelve imonths in arrears to be excluded." Mrs. Aston's .husband had failed to make the payment for the March quarter till the month of June. He died on -the 5th of September. The society contended that his widow was not entitled to recover, on account of nthis default in payment, urging another rule, which sanctions payment to relatives only in case of free" members. In the rules there is no definition of what a free member is. The society held it only ap- lplied where all arrears were paid. Mr. Fitter, for Mrs. Aston, held that it meant one who had been qualified, and had not since been disqualified. The .magistrates took the latter view, and held that Astoa had not been a defaulter for 12 months, and was not, therefore, excluded. Order made to pay X15 ;and costs. (XUY FAWKES' DAY IN THE METROPOLIS.— Friday being the anniversary of the gunpowder plot, ,the metropolis and suburbs were paraded by groups of boys carrying masked efimes, with lanterns and .matches. At Kennington a hu»re figure, in clerical .costume, with long candles, was exhibited, with a placard of No Puseyism." in Lambeth an effigy, seated on a stage, drawn by a pony, and representing the Pope, was drawn about by some men, and on snaking their way towards Westminster a party of Irish labourers took umbrage at the exhibition, and a regular meles ensued. The figure was demolished, and the exhibitors got roughly handled by the defenders of his Holiness. At night the usual bon- fires and pyrotechnic displays were indulged in. A STRANGE INCIDENT.—Last week, in a little country church, near Cincinnati, aa a humble vjljagei paxson was preaching the funeral sermoir of an "old man, two young men passed the doer of the- church: one, a youth, proposed to go in, and "see whom they were about to plant (to use his- own words). The youths paused a moment at the bier, when, thejone who had proposed to enter the church and seewjiom they were about to plant," bent down over- the cojffin, and gave signs of the most poignant grief. Heivtept bitterly, and refused to leave the coffin. Some, lone suggested to him to pass on, when he said: This is my father-how came he here? The sequel is n told. At the beginning of the war the youth had en- listed in an Indiana regiment,; and had remained in jthe service till the last battle. He had been mustered out, had taken employment in Maryland, and; re- mained in that State until a few days since, whenj he started home to see'his aged parent. The father had moved to Ohio during the last few years of his son's absence, and had, after a lingering illness, died. A HUNDRED OR A THOUS,&ND?-A very curious charge of fraud came before Sir Robert Garden on Saturday at Guildhall. The accused, whose name is Friedman, is said to have become possessed of a bill drawn in Berlin for XIOO, and that by a mistake the words one thousand" were written for one hundred." On presenting it to Mr. Haarbleicher for acceptance, that gentleman looking only at the figures at the corner (XIOO), wrote his acceptance upon it and returned it to the prisoner, the requi- site stamp was then put upon it so as partially to cover the figures XIOG," and so leave it to, be inferred that they represented the same amount as the words written. The bill was presented at the bank and cashed. It was submitted for the defence that the bill had passed through six hands before it came to the prisoner's, and as he had received it on behalf of another, he could not tell whether X106 or £ 1,000 was the correct sum. He was remanded. THE UNEMPLOYED.—The geehive stat-e* s that a petition to the Queen is in course of signature, praying her Majesty to see that measures are taken without delay to enable the large number of persons at present out of employ and willing to work to go to those p portions of her Majesty's dominions where their labour is required, and where they may prosper and increase the prosperity of the whole empire. The petitioners also declare that they have heard ",with alarm and indignation that her Majesty has been advised to consent to give up the colonies, "containing millions of unoccupied land, which might be employed profitably, both to the colonies and ourselves, as a field for emigration;" and, in order to discourage and defeat all such projects for disunion, they humbly pray that England and her colonies, and dependencies may be incorporated by name into one British Empire, and that proclamation be made that tier Majesty is sovereign thereof, in like manner as she has been proclaimed Queen of India. The petitioners also ask her Majesty to assemble her Parliament without delay, that they may inquire into the causes af the present distress and seek a remedy. j STARTLING ADVENTURE.—One of the >- divers employed at the Landing Pier Works, Douglas, while engaged a day or two since in laying the concrete blocks under, water, met with a startling adventure. An immense fish, probably as much astonished as the diver himself, presented itself with extended jaws in the attitude of attack, and but for the presence of mind of the diver would probably have seized one of the limbs.of the submarine workman;. The diver, as usual, when engaged below, water, was, armed. with the customary offensive weapons, one of which he promptly thrust into the. reptile's mouth, but, retain- ing his presence of mind while disabling it, firmly kept his hold, and instantly signalling to the man in charge of the pump, was rapidly drawn to the surface, bringing at the, saw,e time the-vanquished fish. On examination it proved, to be what is commonly called a gilliperne, or gilliperkin,, but, properly defined, according to Mr. Brown, the enginøf the works, is the Toad,fish or" fishing-frog." Its measure- axe-from the tip of the snout to the point of the tail, 4ft. Gin.; across the shoulder from fin to fin, 3ft.; and across the mouth, extending vertically and horizontally, 10 to 12 inches. AT THE LIVERPOOL POLICE- COURT last week Abraham Armstrong- and Thomas Sixsmith were charged on remand with conspiring to defraud the London and North-Western Railway Company. On the 20th ult. Armstrong,; who "was a booking clerk at' the Edge-hill Station, issued three first-class tickets to Manchester, which were shortly after- wards collected by Sixsmith at the same station. The tickets were afterwards found in the ticket tube having been placed there by Sixsmith, in order that Armstrong might re-issue them. On the cash in the bowl used by the latter being counted i b was found to be16s. 6d.the price of the three tickets-short and when the prisoners were apprehended they ad- mitted having divided the money between them. They were committed for trial. AT MARLBOROUGH-STREET, William" Bright, coachman to Dr. Horsloy, of Wardour-street, ap- peared to answer a summons for cruelly Hogging, a horse. Mr. Robert Coleman Hall, grocer, said that he had his attention palled to the defendant, who was driving a brougham, by hearing a, person cry "Shame." The defendant was, flogging the horse about the head in a violent manner. He called out to the defendant, and, as he would 'not stop, he ran after him. He followed the defendant to his stable. Evidence in confirmation having been given, Mr. Knox fined the defendant the full penalty, £ 5, or a menth.. A,RoNAll; CATII,OLIC P, ILIEST An nis Brsuop._— An application was lately heard at Dublin, which revealed, a curious state of things in the dioceae of the Roman Catholic bishop, Dr. Nulty. The plaintiff, the Rev. Patrick Dunne, parish priest of Grangleth, had been on confidential terms with the late bishop, but he had some difference with his successor, Dr. Nulty. Being unwell he went to Buxton, and was sus- pended from his office. On an appeal to Rome, an inquiry was granted, that turned out unsatisfactory to-him, so that he could not get even a copy of the saspension,orany information. He made a further appeal, and in the meantime his servant was induced to leave the private house of Mr. Dunne for a short time by means of a forged. letter. On his return, every article belonging to Mr. Dunne had been carried out on the high road. The action was brought against a number of persona who took part in that outrage. The affidavit also stated that Dr. Nulty held his-visitation in the diocese a few days before the occurrence, which was in August last that his lordship slept in the house of the parties against whom the actibn -is brought. The court granted the application. THE. BEST. MEANS of diffusin,, technical educa- tion amongst the working, classes of the metropolis has been discussed at a meeting of the livery com- panies' representatives. The Lord Mayor, who1 presided, reminded the livery that their status would in all probability soon occupy the attention of Parliament, and urged that their position would be materially strengthened if in the -meantime they took active measures to promote the object of technical education. A resolution was adopted declaring it expedient that the livery companies should forward and prosecute this object, and a com- mittee was appointed to carry it into effect. A DARING THEFT was committed in Glasgow on Friday. An American gentleman, who had been residing in one of the most fashionable hotels of the city, had indulged too freely in liquor on Thursday evening and had been induced to enter a notorious shebeen in the High-street, kept by Richard Dillon. There he remained all night, and on attempting to leave the house on Friday morning he was met by Dillon; his wife, and his housekeeper, Helen Brown, who forced him. into a room on the flat above the house, and robbed him of his watch and chain and £ 68 in gold, contained in a belt he wore round his waist. Mrs. Dillon was captured, and with her capture was recovered the sum of 458 in. gold and the stolen watch and chain. The prisoners admitted their guilt, and were each sentenced-to be imprisoned sixty days, with hard labour. M. LOUIS BLANC has written a long letter to the Rappel, in which he says that if the election of candidates who refuse to take the oath is likely to lead to disorders, and to serve as a pretext to the Imperial Government for acts of violent repression, he is unhesitatingly of opinion that the, dangers of this course would outweigh its advantages. It would be better to wait until the oath ia abolished by a pacific agitation, such as is frequently carried on in England without interference from the Government or the police. M. Louis Blanc concludes his letter with a vigorous protest against the oath, which he describes as an artifice of despotism, and a snare laid for the good mea. GARIBALDI HAS WRITTEN A LETTER in reply to the ^mri^ationj he has received jto aitfndjthe tsqneeii I which i» to bS held -at Naples in December, in oppe* sition to- that which is to be held at the same time- in Rome. He says that if the present century couldi only point to this congress of liberty and reason, it would be worthy of ranking amongst the best in the history of human progress. In Naples he once told the people that the most implacable enemy of Italy was the Pope, and the people had had many oppor- tunities during the nine years which had since elapsed of convincing themselves, that he had not deceived them. By healing the wounds of fanaticism and superstition from which Italywas suffering, other ills, worse in appearance but not in reality, would also be got rid of. AN AUSTRALIAN PASSENGER SHIP AslionE.- On Wednesday night the emigrant ship S wif tsure, from Melbourne to London; Captain Sacpole, ran on to the Margate Sands. A tug went to her assistance, but her hawsers broke. Another tug, and two life-boats, proceeded to the sands, but could not succeed; in getting the ship off. At a quarter-past ten about 20 passengers were taken into Margate in a lugger, and they shortly afterwards proceeded to London by train. As the tide rose the ship bumped heavily against the sand, and it was feared that she would have a hole knocked in her bottom. The steam-tugs, ¡ fourin number, were next day so far successful in their efforts that they had shifted the vessel considerably from her first position, and were apparently safely dragging her across the sands; and at one o'clock in the afternoon she was safely got off, and taken under tow far the Thames. SHOT WHILE AT C-HAPF.L.-At the Lambeth Police-court, Frank Johnson, 26, a respectable-look- } ing man, described as a cabinet maker, of Gilbert- street, Oxford-street, has been charged on a warrant with assaulting and wounding Jane Withers, by firing a pistol. The complainant, an elderly woman, who seemed to be suffering much from ill health, stated that on the afternoon of the 26th ult. she was with others seated in the temporary iron chapel in Man- chester-buildings, East-street, Walworth-road. Sud- denly she was violently struck on the right shoulder just below the neck. On being taken to St. Thomas's Hospital a wound was found on her shoulder, which bled very much, and she had since been an out-patient at that institution. The bullet produced passed through her shawl and dress, and was found under her stays. The defendant had since been to her, and expressed regret for what had happened. Allway, 219 P, said he ascertained that defendant had been firing a pistol at a mark in a garden close by, and one of the bullets had passed through the iron wall of the chapel, which is 20 yards from the spot, and then struck the complainant as described. Mr. Woolryoh said it was a case he should send for trial. The defendant was admitted to bail. THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN DIAMOND.- When the August mail left Australia there was some excitement as to the supposed discovery of a monster diamond in the New England district, New South Wales, by a Mr. Townsend. The weight of the stone was given as over 7oz. It had been safely deposited in the Sydney Mint. The excitement about the discovery was prolonged for some days in consequence of certain difficulties which prevented the stone from being examined and tested after its arrival at the '• Mint. When these difficulties were removed, how- ever, and the stone handed over for examination, it turned out to be merely a piece of' rock crystal. The "monster diamond" was much talked of from the time its discovery was made known at Tamworth, New England district, until all doubts respecting its quality were set at rest. It was bought for.XbOO on behalf of ten persons. Two or three days after the purchase of the stone the shareholders got delivery of it from the Mint, and the next stage was the ap- plication of tests, which proved the diamond to be a piece of crystal. The stone is now in Melbourne. PIT EX-PLOSION.-A-n explosion of gas took place the other day at one of the pits of the tJbberley Colliery Company, at Bucknall, near Hanley, Stafford- shire, by which four men have been very seriously burnt. The Ubberley Colliery was formerly noted for the great number of accidents happening therein; but under the present management, which has extended over- several years, no accident has occurred there until the present, when an explosion took place from some cause as yet unaccountable, and the lives of the workpeople were placed in great peril. The four injured men, on being drawn from the pit, ap- peared unable to realise their position for some time, and one of them, who afterwards found that he was seriously burnt, persisted in walking home unaided, from fear of alarming his wife and family. MISTAKING A GENTLEMAN FOR A BURGLAR.— Recently, at the Bu-oiicgbam Police-court, William Lancaster, barman at tho Leopard Tavern, Dale End, Birmingham, was charged with committing a. murderous assault on Mr. Charles Woodman, of London; a professional vocalist, who had been ful- filling an engagement in a local concert hall. On Saturday, September the ISth, Woodman missed a late train for London, and was rcturnirg through Dale End to his lodgings. He came up to a knot of. people opposite Mr. Fordrougli's shop, which had just been broken into. A woman erieddif, that that was one of the burglars, and Lancaster fell on him and so severely injured him with a life preserver that he had to be taken to the hospital, and was confined six weeks. His skull was fractured, and he had been unable to continue his professional, engagements. Prisoner had been incited to the attack by his master's wife, and the bench agreed to liberate him if he made compensation. Woodman agreed to accept of X152 and the prisoner was liberated. SINGULAR 'ACTION. -A suit was recently. brought by Mdlle. Kaduan artist, (painter), to recover 12,950f. damages for. injuries received by the fall of an iron chimney-pot from the house, 7, Rue de Bruxelles, Paris. The proprietor, M. Nodet, pleaded, first, that the object did not come from his roof, and secondly, that the long illness which the plaintiff alleged she had suffered from the accident was due to a constitutional nervousness. The evidence of an expert, however, showed that the missile had un- questionably fallen from M. :Nodet's prenusea,, and that the chimney-pot was not only corroded by rust, but had not been properly secured. The court con- sequently decided that the owner of the house was responsible, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff, but reduced the damages to 8,000f., which sum M. Nodet was condemned to pay with costs. Against that sentence he appealed to the Imperial Court, but the judgment was confirmed. A FIRE BROKE OUT the other morning in Hop" kin Mill, Lees, near Oldham, and resulted almost in the complete destruction of the place. The mill is said to have contained 40,000 spindles, and was worked by Messrs. T. Taylor and Company. It was 19 windows in length and four in width, and four storeys high, exclusive of the attic. The fire broke out in the attic, and is supposed to have arisen either from friction about the headstooks or the over-heating of some tin covers about the machinery. Every exertion was made, to check the fire, but it was not till the roof and the whole of the floors fell in, ex- cepting that over the lower room, which was fire- proof, that the flames were got under. The damage is estimated at upwards of X30,000, and it is said the place was insured. THE IMPORTANT TOWN OF VICTORIA, in "Van- couyer's Island, has a mixed population of English and Americans, and the spirit of emulation is such that it possesses two fire brigades, which work in unison on the occasion of a fire. The American brigade already has a steam fire-engine of American make,, and the English brigade, to keep up its reputa- tion, resolved also to procure a steam fire-engine; and, after having the designs of various English and American builders of fire-engines submitted, selected a London engine of Messrs. Merryweather and Sons' make. Previous to its shipment it was thoroughly tested, and found to raise steam from cold water to 1001b. pressure in seven minutes from the time of lighting the fire; when in full work its delivery of water being at the rate of 300 gallons per minute, projecting a stream to the height of 160 feet. proi AT MARLBOROUGH-STREET the other day an application was made on behalf of the War-offica for a search warrant against Mr. James Bertrand Payne of Dover-street, Piccadilly, who was formerly com- manding officer of the 4th Middlesex Artillery but was dismissed from the command for insubordina- tion. Mr. Payne refused to deliver up sixty carbines and three swords belonging to the corps, and was naw, it was stated, in Paris. The- asms, it was be- lieved, were at Mr. Payne's residence in Dover-street, unpacked, as they came from. the Tower. Notices had been served at two of Payne's residences to deliver up the arms. Mr., Tjrahiit granted the i waært.

ALIVE, OH!'—One or the French papers last week gave two admirable receipts for cooking lobsters, but they appear to us calculated to give more satis- faction to the epicure than the lobster, to the ton- sumer than the consumed. We are told in the first place that it is indispensable to the success of tiese receipts that the lobsters should be alive; theii we are directed in one case to. cut the lobster across in presentable pieces and to break the claws without disfiguring them, and in the. other to fix the lobster on the spit and to put it before a very quick fire, the to baste it with butter seasoned with salt and pepper. When the shell drops off in small pieces, then, andlnot till then, is the unhappy lobster cooked, Beading such directions as these makes us almost regret that the Marquis of Townshend is not a mer-man. A BRACE OF DISASTERS,—A remarkable apci- dent recently occurred in the hunting-field. The hounds had just come to a check, and Mr. a jail, heavy rider-a. capital horseman he was, n.s urging his horse at full speed down a lane to come, up with them. Just as he turned into the highway there came along an immense drove of pigs, on tnfeir way to the nearest market town. Headlona in among them blundered the horse and his rider. jibe former plunged over with a tremendous crash, &.nd broke his neck on the spot. The rider was pitched head foremost, and to a good distance, along the backs of the pigs, which broke his fall, and he got lout of the scrape with a few slight bruises. Another accident has happened to a Mr. Waller, a near- sighted man, who was continually making dangerous blunders with hounds, which he persisted, howefer, in following. One day, having come to a fence tjhat he did not like, he "rode a little way along it to lpok for an easy place. Presently he came to what I he probably supposed to be a low wall built across a gateway or gap. This he charged with his hoise, which rolled over with him far away to the other side. The wall preved to be an old grey cow that was lying across the gap, and that threw the horse over by rising under him just as he jumped. In this case the rider was severely injured, but the horse escaped unhurt.
