SHOCKING ATTEMPT AT RAPE IN THE ISLE OF MAX. A young man, about 25 years of age, has been arrest- ted on a charge of attempted rape, committed under peculiarly horrible circumstances, in the Isle of Man. The offence was committed on Friday last, on a lonely mountainous spot named Injebreek, in the parish of Braddan, the name of the ou-endcr being Wilham Han- nah, the son of a small farmer residing At Toollaby, near the Union Mills, and the woman on whom the ottence was committed is named Catherine Corkhill, who resides at a place called Glenshuggle, in the Ballaugh Gill, at the north end of the island. It being considered that the life of the womau, who is about 30 years of was in greata danger, the High Bailiff of Douglas, Samuel Harris, Ksq., took her deposition on Sunday last. She stated that she left Douglas on foot on Friday afternoon for the purpose of returning home to Glenshuggle, and she had arrived at the Quarter Bridge Inn, on the Peel. road, when she met the prisoner, who was driving a cat i, and who offered to give her a lift as far as lie was going, which waa to Comlork, a farm in the parish of Braddan, where he was employed. When they arrived at Comlork she left the cart, and proceeded on her road towards the mountain of Injebreck, over which she had to pass in order to reach her destination. She had not gone very far before the prisoner came after her a por- tion of the way home She declined his offer, but he persisted in going, and they passed on through the Tillage of Baldwin, and up the mountain road towards Injebreek. This is one of the most lonely and desolate place" in the island, and taking advantage of its seclu- sion, as soon as they had reached one of the most retired spots, and and were just entering on the "common" at the top of mountain, the prisoner, without saying a word, knocked her down by a blow on the face, and at- tempted to commit a rape on her person. She struggled with him and resisted him in every way that she couid. He abused her in the most brutal manner. She cried for mercy and shouted out murder, but he put his hand over her mouth and tried to prevent her calling out. He then struck her on the mouth with his fist. and kicked her on the abdomen in a most cruel manner. She bit him and resisted him for a long time—for fully three quarters of an hour, she thinks—during which pe- riod he did everything he could to accomplish his vile purpose, but without success. He then left her, saying uI have finished you" or "you are finished," or words to that effect. After he left her she was insensible for a short time, but when she came to herself, she managed, with the greatest difficulty, to crawl to a small cottage on the mountain, about half a mile from the scene of the attempted rape, kept by a person named John Shields. Here she vomited a quantity of blood, and be- came so exhausted and weak that Mrs. Shields kindly offered her her bed, and attended on her all night, while her husband went over the mountain to acquaint the young woman's parents of the critical state of their daughter. The next day she was brought home, and placed under the care of Dr. E. Taylor, of Ravensdale. In his examination the doctor stated that he found the young woman in a very dangerous state, and at first he had some doubts of her recovery; but on Sunday she was slightly better, though still in considerable danger. On her scalp he found a large wound, and several bruises, and her face also was badly bruised, more parti- cularly about the eyes, left cheek, and mouth. The left eye was completely closed, and the parts about filled with blood. Several of her teeth were loose in both the upper and lower jaw, and two or three were broken. Her throat was swollen and bruised, as also was her chest, in which she felt great pain w hen taking a deep inspiration. To the best of his belief, after a strict exa- mination of the young woman, the doctor was of opinion that the rape had not been consummated. On Monday, the prisoner was brought before the high bailiff of Douglas, when a man named James O'Kneale was examined, and deposed to having seen the prisoner and the young woman on the mountain, and from his de- scription it must have been a very short time before the rape was atte npted. The prisoner was remanded.

AM E-RIO A. FUNERAL OF MR. LINCOLN.—PRESIDNT JOHN* SON ON TUB ENGLISH ALLIANCE.—RU- MOTTRED SURRENDER OF JOHNSTONK- ARREST OF AN ACCOMPLICE OF BOOTH. —GREAT FLOODS IN CANADA.—ARRIVAL OF THE EDINBURGH. QOIENSTOWN, Wednesday.—The Inman steamship Edinburgh, from New York on tire 22nd ultimo, arrived at Queenstown to-day, May 3rd, at 1.30 p.m., with 13,000 dols. in specie and 248 paaaetigera. She landed 4o passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool at two p.m. The following are the heads of the news :— NEW YURK, April 20th, morning.—The Neiv York Herald of to-day, in a special edition, states that John- Stone has surrendered. Mr. Lincoln's funeral passed off quietly. Mr. Seward and his son are improving. Booth is still at large, but one of his accomplices has been arrested. Columbia and Montgomery are reported captured. NEW YORK, April 22nd, morning.—Mr. Lincoln's funeral was solemnised at Washington on Wednesday with imposing ceremonies. A procession of civil, mili- tary, and naval officers, includint; President Johnson, General Grant, Admiral Faragut, Butler, and the foreign ministers followed the remains. Business was entirely suspended throughout the A'ortli, and the day was observed in the principal cities of the British provinces by a partial suspension of business and the closing of the public buildings. Mr I -incoln's remains will pass through Baltimore, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianopolis, and Chicago, to Springtielrt. Public honours will be paid to the remains iu each city. Last night's bulletin reports that Mr. Seward had no fever. His wounds were healing, and were less painful. Frederick Seward is stronger and not so restless. The Government has offered a reward of 100,000 dols. for the arrest of Booth and his accomplices. Persons harbouring them are subject to tlu penalty of death. An accomplice of Booth, named Atzerot, has been arrested. Nothing further has been published concern- ing the person already arrested. He is supposed to be named Still-iit. A letter from Boorh written several months ago shows that he was plotting the capture of Mr. Lincoln, but gives no intimation that he contemplated assassina- tioil. The Confederate prisoners at Point Lock Out have passed resolution of abhorrence at Mr. Lincoln's assassination, and expressing their sympathy for his family. Dele"gations from different parts of the enioll have waited upon Mr. Johnson and offered him support. Johnson made several speeches, indicating no definite policy, but reasserting that treason is the highest crime, and must be punished accordingly. The Vetv York Herald believes that Johnson will adopt a more demonstrative and exacting foreign policy than that of Lincoln, and states that he is committed to the Monroe doctrine. It is reported that, in consequence of Mr. Seward s condition, Johnson will appoint Mr. President King act- ing Secretary of State, or secretary de facto. It is stated that in consequence of Lincoln's death Mr, Harlan will not assume the secretaryship of the in- -terior. Johnson has postponed the confiscation sales at Norfolk until after the organisation of the freedmen's bureau. The World asserts that Johnson has informed the Gn- vernor of Indiana that he never believed the doctrine that the rebellion states were out of the Union. The Diplomatic Corps visited President Johnson on Thursday. Baron Gerolt, Prussian ambassador, read an address of condolence, and expressed hopes for the early re-establishmeut of peace, and maintainance of friendly relations with foreign powers. Sir Frederick Bruce had presented his credentials, on which occasion he expressed deep sympathy at Mr. Lin- coln's death, and said that her Majesty had nothing more at heart than to cultivate relations of amity and a good understanding, so long happily existing between England and America. In this spirit he was directed to do his duties. Mr. Johnson felt pleasure at her Majesty's friendly sentiments, and said that the interests of civili- sation and humanity required that England and America should be friends. He always accepted it as an honour- able fact that the Queen was a sincere and honest well- wisher of the United States. General Halleck has superseded Ord in the command at Richmond. Ord has relieved Gilmore at Charleston. The New York Herald asserts ttfat Sheridan last night received a despatch from Sherman, announcing the full surrender of Johnston's army. Kirkpatrick has pursued the Confederates 30 miles beyond Raleigh. It was expected that the Federal forces would compel Johnston's surrender. Wilson captured at Sehna 2,000 prisoners and 100 cannon, and destroyed a large quantity of cotton, naval ironwork, manufactories, and buildings. Thomas's cavalry is reported to have captured Colum- bus (Georgia) and Mongomery (Alabama). Mosbv is rel))rte(I to have surrendered on the same terms as Lee, and Rosser to have offered to surrender upon similar terms. The Confederates completed their evacuation of Mobile on the 12th. The Federals entered the city on the 13th. Little private property was destroyed Official reports annouuce that Lee surrendered 26,1)01 men and 150 cannon. It is denied that an order was issued to arrest Judge Campbell and the ex-mayor of Richmond. TIMES TELEGRAM. NEW YORK, April 23rd.—Letters to the New York newspapers suggest that a popular fund of 1,000,000 dols. be raised and offered as" reward. Mr. Stanton also offers a reward of 25,000 dols. each for the appre- hension of G. Azerat and David C. Harold, supposed to be accomplices of Booth and the assassin of Mr. Seward and his son. He calls upon all citizens to aid in their capture, and warns those inclined to aid in their escape that, if detected, they will be considered as accomplices in the murder, and be subjected to trial by a military commission, and, if found guilty, punished by death. General Lee, with hi, sbff; arrived in Richmond on Saturday afternoon, the 15th instant, and was enthu- siastically received by the citizens. Ilis movements were quite unostentatious, but he was spleudidly re- ceived, altd followed to hi.s house by an immense, cheer- ing crowd. The doors and windows of houses along the streets through which he passed, which had been kept resolutely closed since the occupation of the city by the Federals, were thrown open, and ladies appeared at them weeping and waving their hankerchiefs. At his house he was asked for a speech, which he declined, and, after bidding adieu to his staff, simply bowed to the throng and retired. In cousequence of evidence elicited during the exami- nation of persons arrested in Washington, that Mr. Charles Sumner was intended to have been included in the assassination on the night of the 15th inst., a strong guard has been placed around his house. No later authentic news from North Carolina, though each day brings unfounded and idle rumours of John- stone's capitulation. Mr. Johnson said to Sir F. Bruce that he accepted him as a Minister well disposed to maintain the peace and honour of both countries. The President and his asso- ciates would act in accordance with the same enlighten- ed policy and consistent sentiment. Preston King or Charles Sumner are spoken of as likelv to act for Seward till he recovers. The President hILS postponed the confiscation sales at Norfolk until after the organisation of the freedmen's bureau Th? Confederate prisoners at Feint Look-out have passed resolutions of abhorrence at Mr. Lincoln s assassination, and expressing sympathy for his family. It is denied that an order was issued to arrest Judge Campbell and the ex-mayor of llbhmoud. An expedition from Charleston has destroyed 1000 bales of cotton and all the railway bridges between Columbia and Florence, and has brought in 2500 slaves. 5000 more are waiting to come in. ARRIVAI/OF THE MORAVIAN. (Via Grcencastle.) NEW YOHK, April 22, Evening. It I* positively re- ported that Sherman and Johnston are negotiating. The rumour that the latter had surrendered with hib army is at present imeimfirtnod. Reports received from Goldsboro' state that' John- ston's army bad loe4iine demoralised since Lee's surren- der, and .Johnston dared not risk a battle. In conaequunee of Johnston' reported offer to surren- der, a portion of Grants army has been relieved from guarding the Sontliside Kailroad and sent to W ashing- ton. The Evening Pout says that private letters from Washington create Bomeuneasinnessconcerning Secretary Seward's condition. LATEST. NEW YORK, April 22, Six p.m.—It is reported from Richmond that Mr. Jefferson Davies and his Cabinet have reached Augusta, and established a Government there preparatory to flight to the Irans-Mississippi De- partment.. The New York Chamber of Commerce has paned resolutions of contlolonce on account of the deata of Bichard Cobden. I LETTER OF WILKES BOOTH. ) I The following letter from Wilkes Booth has been dia- covered. It was doubtless written some time in the month of January last, and carefully sealed up in an envelope, directed tlms-" J. Wilkes Booth." This package Booth left with his brother-in-law, Mr. J. S. Clarke, a resident of Philadelphia, asking of Mr. Clarke to take good care of it, as it contained valuable oil stocks and bonds. The envelope has remained since January, with Mr. Clarke, unopened, until the fearful tragedy had occurred in Washington. The brother-in-law of Booth then opened the package, in which he found some United States' bonds, oil stocks, and this letter. Mr. Clarke gave the letter to the United States' Marshal Millward, who furnished a copy to the Philadelphia Press. It is as follows:- „ -,8lU. "My dear Sir,—You may use this as you think best. But as some may wish to know when, who, and why, and as I know not how to direct, I give it (in the words of your master),' -"To whom it may concern. Right or wrong, God judge me, not man. For be my motive good or bad, of one thing I am sure, the last- iug condemnation of the North. I love peace more than life. Have loved the Union beyond expression. For four years have I waited, hoped and praved for the dark clouds to break, and for a restoration of our former sunshine. To wait longer would be a crime. All hope for peace is dead. My ,.ravers have proved as idle as my hopes. God's ivill be done. I go to see and share the hitter end. I have ever held the South were right. The very nomination of Abraham Lincoln four years ago, spoke plainly war—war upon Southern righis and institutions. His election proved it. 'Awaitanovertnct.' Yes, till you are bound and plundeied. What folly The South were wise. Who thinks of argument or patience when the finger of his enemy presses on the trigger.? In a foreign war, I, too, could say, 'Country, right wrong' But. in n struggle such as ours (where the brother tries to pierce the brother's heart), for God's sake choose the right. When a country like this spurns justice from her side she forfeits the allegiance of every honest free- man, and should leave him untrammelled by any fealty soever to act as his conscience may approve. I "People of the North,' to hate tyranny, to love liberty, and justice, to strike at wrong and oppression was the I teaching of our fathers. The study of our early history will not let me forget it, and may it never. This country was formed for the white, not for the black man; and looking lil)oti African slavery from the same standpoint held by the noble framers of our Con- stitution T, for one, have ever considered it one of the greatest blessings, both for themselves and us, that God ever bestowed upon a favoured nation. Witness hereto- fore our wealth and power; witness their elevation and enlightment, above their race elsewhere. I have lived among it most of my life, and have seen less harsh treatment from master to man than I have beheld in the North from father to son. Yet, Heaven knows, no one would be willing to do more for the negro race than I, could I but see a way to still better their condition. But Lincoln's policy is only preparing the way for their total annihilation. The South ;tre not, nor have they been, fighting for the continuance of slavery. The first battle of Bull Run did away with that idea. Their causes since for war have been as noble and greater far than those that urged our fathers on. Even should we allow they were wrong at the beginning of this contest, cruelty and injustice have made the wrong become the right, and they stand now (before the w inder and ad- miration of the world) as a noble band of patriotic heroes. Hereinafter, reading of their deeds, Thermopylse will be forgotten. When I aided in the capture and execution of John Brown (who was a murderer on our Western border, and who was fairly tried and convicted before an impar- tial judge and jury of treason, and who, by the way, has since been made a god), I was proud of my little share in the transaction, for I deemed it my duty, and that I was helping our common country to perform an act of justice. Hut what was a crime in poor John Brown is now considered (by themselves) as the greatest and only virtue of the whole Republican party. Strange transmi- gration Vice to become a virtue simply because more indulge in it. I thought then, as now, that the Abolitionists were the only traitors in the land, and that the entire party deserved the same fate as poor old Brown, not because they wish to abolish slavery, but on account of the means they have ever endeavoured to use to effect that abolition. If Brown were living doubt whether he himself would set slavery against the Union. Most or. many in the North do, and openly curse the Union, if the South are to return and retain a single right guaran- teed to them by every tie which we once revered as sa- cred. The South can make no choice. It is either ex- termination or slavery for themselves (worse than death) to draw from. I know my choice. I have also studied hard to discover upon what ground the right of a State to secede has been denied, when our very name, United States, and the Declaration of Independence, both provide for secession. But there is no time for words. I write in haste. I know how foolish I shall be deemed for undertaking such a step as this, where, on the one side, I have many friends and everything to make me happy, where my profession alone has gained me an income of more than 20,000 dols. a year, and where my great personal ambition in my profession has such a great field for labour. On the other hand, the South have never bestowed upon me one kind word a place now where I have no friends, except beneath the sod; a place where I must either become a private soldier or a beggar. To give up all of the former for the latter, besides my mother and sister, whom I love so dearly (although they so widely differ with me in opinion), seem insane but God is my judge. I love justice more than I do a country that disowns it, more than fame and wealth, more (Heaven pardon me if wrong) than a happy home. I have never been upon a battlefield, but oh! my countrymen, could you all but see the reality or effects of this horrid war, as I have seen them in every State save Virginia, f know you would think like me, and pray the Almighty to create in the Northern mind a sense of right and justice (even should it possess no seasoning of mercy) and that He would dry up the sea of blood between us which is daily growing wider. Alas poor country, is she to meet her threatened doom ? Four years ago I would haTe given a thousand lives to see her remain as I had always known her-poweiftil and unbroken. And even now I would hold my life as a naught to see her what she was. 0! my friends, if the fearful scenes of the past four years never had been enacted, or if what has been had been but a frightful dream from which we could now awake, with what overflowing heart could we bless out God and pray for His continued favour! How I have loved the old flag can never now be known. A few years since and the entire world could boast of none so pure and spotless. But I have of late been seeing and hearing of the bloody deeds of which she has been made the emblem, and would shudder to think how changed she had grown. Oh! how I have longed to see her break from the mist of blood and death that the circles round her folds, spoiling her beauty and tarnishing her honour. But no; day by day has she been dragged deeper and deeper into cruelty and opres- sion, till now (in my eyes) her once bright red stripes look like bloody gashes on the face of heaven. I look now upon my early admiration of her glories as a dream. My love (as things stand to-day) is for the South alone. Nor do I deem it a dishonour in attempting to make for her a prisoner of this man, to whom she owes so much misery. If success attend me, I go penniless to her side. They say she has found that ,list (]itch WI)icjl the North has so long derided and been endeavouring to force her in, forgetting they are our brothers and that it is impolitic to goarl all enemy to madness. Should I reach her in safety and find it true, I will proudly beg permission to triumph or die in that same 'ditch' by her side. A Confederate doing duty upon his own responsi- bility. "J. WILKES BOOTH," THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS AND PRESIDENT I JOHNSON. The members of the Diplomatic Corps called upon President Johnson on the 20th instaut. Sir Frederick Bruce was formally presented, and addressed the Presi- dent as follows;— Mr. Prt.,i,teiit,-It is with deep and sincere concern that I have to accompany my first official act with ex- pressions of condolence. On Saturday last the ceremony that takes place to-day was to have heen performed; but the gracious intentions of the late lamented President were frustrated by events which have plunged this country into consternation and affliction, and which will call forth in Great Britain feelings of horror as well as profound sympathy for the victims. It becomes, there- fore, my pDlyfnl duty, sir, to present the letter trom my Sovereign, of which I am bearer, to you as President of the United States, and it is with pleasure that I convey the assurance of regard and goodwill which her Majesty entertains for you, sir, as President of the United States. I am further directed to express her llajesty's friendly disposition towards the great nation of which you are chief magistrate, her hearty good wishes for its peace, prosperity, and welfare. Her Majesty has nothing more at heart than to cultivate those relations of amity and good understanding which have so long and so happily existed between the two kindred nations of the United States and Great Britain, and it is in this spirit that I am diiected to perform the duties of the impor- tant and honourable post conifded to me. Permit me, sir, to say that it shall be the olijeot of my earnest en- deavours to carry out my instructions truthfully in that respect, and express the hope, sir, that you will favoura- bly coowlw attempts to m8\Jt yoat approbation, and to give effect to the friendly intentions of the Queen and her Majesty's Government, I have the honour, sir, to place in your hands the letter of credence bonfided to me by her Maj esty. The President replied as follows :— Sir Frederick Bruce,—Sir, the cordial and friendly sentiments which you have expressed on the part of her Britannic Majesty gave me great pleasure. Great Britain and the United States, by the extended and varied forms of commerce between them, the contiguity of positions of their possessions, and the similarity of their language and laws, are drawn into contrast and intimate inter- cotuse at the same time. They are from the same causes exposed to frequent occasions of misunderstand- ing, only to be averted by mutual forbearance So eagerly are the people of the two countries engaged throughout almost the whole world in the pursuit of similar commercial enterprises, accompanied by natural rivalries and jealousies, that at first sight it would almost seem that the two Governments must be enemies, or at best cold and calculating friends. So devoted are the two nations throughout all their domain, and even in their most remote territorial and colonial possessions, to the principles of civil rights and constitutional liberty that, on the other hand, the superficial observer might erroneously count upon a continued concert of action and sympathy, amounting to an alliance between them. Each is charged with the developeinent of the progress and liberty of a considerable portion of the human race. Each in its sphere is subject to difficulties and trials not participated in by the other. The interests of civilisa- tion and humanity require that the two should he friends. I have always known and accepted it as a fact, honourable to both countries, that the Queen of Eng- land is a sincere and honest well-wisher of the United States. I have been equally frank and explicit in the opinion that the friendship of the United States towards Great Britain is enjoined by all the considerations of interest and of sentiment affecting the character of both. You will therefore be accepted as a Minister friendly and well disposed to the maintenance of peace and the honour of both counties. You will find myself and all my associates acting in accordance with the same en- lightened policy and consistent sentiments, and so I am sure that it will not occur in your case that either your- self or this Government will ever have cause to regret that such an important relationship existed at such a crisis FUNERAL OF THE LATE PRESIDENT. The funeral of the late President Lincoln was com- menced on the 10th ult. The body had lain in state ufider the dome of the Capitol in Washington, and had been visited by thousands of people. Hie following is extracted from the Aew )oi-k- fier(tltl About six o'clock this morning the members of the Cabinet and other distinguished individuals who had been invited to be present, or who acted as icei-s, &c., assembled in the Rotunda, and the Rev, Dr. Gurley offered a brief but impressive prayer, which was the only ceremony at the Capitol. At the conclusion of the prayer, at 20 minutes before seven o'clock, the coffin was taken from the catafalque by twelve orderly ser- geants, and placed in the ihearse, which was in waiting to receive it in front of the Capitol. The procession was then formed, and escorted the remains to the depot of the Baltimore and Ohio Hailroad Company, on New Jersey-avenue where the funeral train had been pre- pared for their reception'and that of the party which had been invited to accompany them to their final rest- in,place. rhe coffin was carried into the depot, followed by the distinguished gentlemen, civil and military, before fentioned, and deposited in the car which had been prepared for its reception. At the door of this car the Rev. Dr. Gurley again briefly addressed the Gud of the living and the dead in a solemn and appropriate prayer. Ten minutes before eight o'clock a pilot engine, No. 239, was started to see that the track wis clear, and at precisely eight o'clock the funeral train started. As the funeral-decked train left the Washington Station at eight o'clock the guard at that point and several thousand soldiers, temporarily sojourning in the locality, formed a long line and presented arms until the entire train had passed. Without stopping the train arrived at Baltimore at ten o'clock. Governor Bradford and staff joined the train at Annapolis J unction. Crowds had assembled at the station, and uncovered as the train passed in. At Baltimore almost every house was a house of mourning. Houses, public buildings, and churches were everywhere draped in black. Everywhere the flag was wreathed in crape. With a unanimity which has never been equalled, the citizens of Baltimore showed their high regard for the honoured dead in every ex. pressive mode. The line of march was taken up shortly after the arrival of the remains. A few moments before one o'clock the head of the procession arrived at the southern front of the Exchange. The general officers dismount- ed, and formed, with their staffs, on the either side of the approach from the gate to the main entrance of the Exchange. The remains were then removed from the funeral car and carried slowly and reverently into the building, and placed on a catafalque prepared for them. After they had been properly placed, and the covering removed, the (fficrs present passed slowly forward, on either side of the body. The civic part of the pro- cession followed, and the general public were then ad- mitted. About half-past two o'clock, to the regret of thousands, the coffin was closed, and the face that was so dear to our nation was hidden from view, and, escort- ed by the guard of honour, was removed to the hearse. The procession then re-formed and took up its mournful inarch to the depot of the Northern Central Railway Company. The coffin was placed in a car tastefully draped, and the escort on a train especially assigned to them, which was also draped, and started for Harris- burg. At fifty minutes past six the train moved onward to Harrisburg, at which city it arrived at half-past eight. It was raining heavily; but notwithstanding this the streets were densely thronged, and a large military escort accompanied the remains of President Lincoln to the State House, amid the sound of minute guns, where the corpse was exposed to the view of the public until a late hour to-night. The burial cortege will leave Harrisburg for Philadelphia to-morrow at 11 a.m.

THE ROAD MURDER. I COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER. Thursday morning Constance Emilie Kent, who stands charged upon her own confession with having murdered Francis Saville Kent, a child four years old, on the night of the 29th of June, 1860, was brought before the magis- trates at Trowbridge for further examination. The court was crowded. Mr. Kent was with his daughter the whole of Wed- nesday, and it was conjectured that he would accompany her yesterday morning from Devizes, and, with the ob- ject of catching a glimpse of the unhappy people, very many persons assembled at the station at 8 o'clock, thinking they would come by the first train. But the prisoner, in custody of Mr. Alexander, the governor of Devizes Gaol, and accompanied by her father, posted over to the town, and reached the court soon after ten o'clock. Miss Kent was taken into a private room, where she remained till the court opened at eleven o'clock. At eleven o'clock the magistrates took their seats on the bench, and the prisoner was brought into court. She was dressed in deep mourning, and appeared to have undergone a considerable change since last week. No legal gentleman was there for the prosecution, and Mr. Rodway, of Trowbridge, watched the case for the prisoner. Several witnesses, including Elizabeth Gough, the nursemaid, were examined, and the prisoner was com- mitted for trial at the next Wiltshire assizes.

A dreadful case of death from hydrophobia lately happened at Montaud. The victim was a boy, eight years of age, and the fatal symptoms did not manifest themselves till four weeks after he had been bitten in the ear by a dog. We ( Musical World] are given, on good authority, to understand, that among the candidates who have been named for the knighthood which, it is said, is intended to be conferred on a number of the musical profession, Mr. Henry Russell, is one and that his chances of re- ceiving the honour are amougthe best. DEATH OF AN OLD VETERAN.—On Wednesday last the mortal remains of the late William Edwards (better known as Colonel Edwards) were deposited in their last resting-place, with the relics of his family, at Holt. He lived at Isycoed in the year 1S30, and up to this period was considered one of the best horsemen that followed the late Sir Watkin's hounds, being always foremost at the death. He achieved many daring exploits, and in- variably crossed the Dee with the hounds. He upon one oocasion, while staying at the Lower Hall, at mid- night, had a candle placed upon each post of the gate leading into the yard, and his favourite black mare took him over in gallant style, the gate being six feet high. His stable contained the best cattle, and his table afford- ed the most hospitable entertainment; all were welcome guests. About 1830 he left his farm at Isycoed, his ancestors having occupied it for upwards of one hundred I and sixty years. He then removed to Holt. He shortly afterwards relinquished his Holt residence, and settled down in Liverpool. For the last eleven years he has resided in his native parish, Holt, four of his sons being settled in Ireland, men of high standing as railway con- tractors, who allowed him a liberal competency. He gave up his establishment in January last, and went to reside with his nephew, Mr. J. Edwards, of Holt. A short time ago he went to visit his son-in-law, Jos. Row- son, Esq., of Stanley Villa, Walton, Liverpool. He was taken ill there, and on Saturday the 22nd ult., breathed Ilia last,

In consequence of the strike among the artisans and labourers at Plymouth, and of the interference of the union men with others willing to work, the Government has it is said, determined to suspend for the present all progress in the construction of fortifications in that vicinity. Mr. Bliss, who was for many years the sanitary in- spector of the borough of Birmingham, but who was obliged to resign a few days ago in consequence of charges of conspiracy aud extortion having been brought against him and another public ofiicer of the same town, committed suicide on Tuesday afternoon by shooting himself through the head. He leaves a large family. The directors of the Sheffield Water Company have issued a circular, in which they state that the total amount claimed against the company for damage done by the flood was £455,164; and the amount of claims to be paid by the company, as determined under the Inundation Commission, was £ 270,821, being little more than three-fifths of the amount claimed.
