FROM OUR TRAVELLING LUNATIC.—If there were a scarcity of corn in England, why should it not be felt in Warwickshire ? Because there is Nuneaton there. A correspondent asked if the brow of a hill ever became wrinkled ? The editor replied, "4rhe only information can give on that print is that we have often seen it furrowed." PRECAUTION.—A boy who heard the quotation A little learning is a dangerous thing," wished to stop going to school, because he was afraid he should not live long enough to get past this dangerous point. THE STYLE.—A young hdy of the rural districts, who was reading a novel, was asked by a gentleman how she liked the style. The style was the answer. •• Oh sir, I've not come to that yet." A Parisian lady was informed that her hus- band had just died in an asylum. Ah!" re- plied madame, without emotion, "misfortunes never come singly!

Few subjects are nearly allied thah vulgarity and affectation. It may be said of them truly that co thin partitions their bounds divide." There cannot be a surer proof of innate mFness of disposition than to be always talking and thinking of being genteel. We must have a strong ten- dency to that which we are always striving to avoid; whenever we pretend, on all occasions, a mighty contempt for anything, it is a pretty clear sign that we feel ourselves very nearly level with it.

PEMBROKE TOWN COUNCIL. I A meeting of the members of the corporate body was held on Wednesday afternoon at the council chamber, Town-hall, the following gentlemen being present:—Alderman S. Jenkins, mayor; Alderman Wm. Thomas, J. Dawkins, W.H.Lewis, and J. Tucker; Councillors A. Long, W. John, W. J. Davies, W. F. Williams, T. T. Stokes, R. Haines, A. Jermin, R. M. Jones, W. Williams, W. Trewent, E. Gibby, R. George, W. Hughes, C.Elsdon, W. H. War- low, W. G. Phillips, and G. Froyne. THF GAS COMPANY. The Mayor said that a letter had been received from a gentleman relative to the Pembroke Dock and Towns Gas Company. Mr J. N. Cobb, the gentleman alluded to, solicitor to the new company, who resides at Brecon, was then introduced, and, in reply to the Mayor, said that the company do not wish any exclusive right, neither was it by any means desired to deprive the corporation of any existing rights. He only hoped that the speculation of the gas company would be profitable to the proprietors, and also I beneficial to the public generally; ana furthermore it would be the object of the company to study the council's views.—In reply to Alderman Lewis, Mr Cobb said that the corporation could compel the company to supply any one with gas unless they were 20 yards from the main, and in such cases arrangements would be mape be- tween the company and such persons, at a mu- tual expense.—Alderman Dawkins said he had no faith whatever in gas companies, and con- tinued that for the past two years the gas had been so wretchedly bad that it would be much better without a gas company.—Mr Cobb said that at the present time the lease of the gas premises, &c., at Pembroke Dock, was in the hands of Mr Stevenson (the present proprietor), but the company would eventually get it into their hands, and then it would be much better, as it was to the interest of the company to supply good gas, as the consumers were not necessarily obliged to take it.—Alderman Daw- kins said he should strongly oppose it, as for two or three years he had been obliged to burn two candles to see where the gas was. (" Hear hear," and laughter.)—Councillor Long said that the illuminating power of the gas had been very indifferent, he also having had to burn candles in a r oom where there were two gas burners. But he certainly could not see any cause to oppose the new company. The only thing required was a section appended to clause 19 of the orders for the company to guarantee a certain illuminating power, and also a saving clause to preserve the corporate existing rights— (hear, hear,)—and he believed that was all that was necessary.—Mr Cobb said that the company would have no objection whatever to that pro- posal. In reply to Mr Long, Mr Cobb said that in the House of Commons, according to Lord Riddesdale, the average illuminating power was 16 candles, but they could not, out of this country coal, get more than 14 candle power.—The Mayor said that the gas at the dockyard was infinitely superior to the gas of the town, and at the dockyard the cost of coal was only 13s per ton.—Mr Long then proposed that they should not oppose the Bill, providing the 12th clause were altered so as not to inter- fere with the existing rights and privileges of the Corporation, and that the company should guarrantee an average illuminating power of fourteen candles. (Hear, hear.)—Alderman Dawkins said that he had no objection to any company, provided that they carried out what they professed to do; but he thought it would be better to adjourn that meeting, so as to allow the several members of the Council time and opportunity to read up the Act, when they would be better prepared to give an opinion. (Hear, head-Councillor Trewent thought it would be better to leave the matter in the hands of their clerk, Mr Lanning—(hear, hear)—and the gentleman (Mr Cobb), providing the illuminating power, as Mr Long had suggested, was guaran- teed.—Mr Hughes said he did not wish to throw any obstacle in the was of this company, but the gas supplied by the present company was ex- tremely had. They also did as they pleased, extinguishing the lamps at any time; and in some instances where persons, whom he could name, had complained of the bad quality of the gas, the company had said, If you don't like the gas you shan't have it," and then cut the pipes off. This was a very bad state of affairs. —Mr Cobb: But, gentlemen, in the puwers we seek, the Act will compel the company to supply any one with gas, and of a given quality.—Mr W. John said he thought that what Mr Long had suggested would fully meet the requirements of the case—(hear, hear,)—as he believed that 14 candle-light power was the average of the kingdom. He would, therefore, second Mr Long's proposition. Every man could under- stand that this, and other companies, was a commercial speculation. It was to the benefit of the company to supply as many persons as possible with gas, and if they found the gas bad, they (the consumers) could withdraw from re- ceiving it; besides, they would guarantee a certain illuminating power, and this, coupled with the saving clause, he believed was all that was neccessary. (Hear, bear.) After some further discussion the matter was ad- journed tine die; however, eventually, the meeting was fixed for the 18th instant, at 2 o'clock. The next matter brought forward was relative to the educational question, which was also adjourned. BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS,—These sessions were held at the Town-hall on Saturday (befort S. Jenkins, Esq, (Mayor), W. Hulm, Esq, and tV, Watkins, Esq.) This being the day appointed foi the transfer ofpublichouse licences, the following > business transpired, viz.: The Brewery, Pern- broke-street, which wili henceforth be called the Market Tavern, from William Thomas Smith to Robert Andrew; the Navy Inn, Queen-street West, from David Howells to Jessie Chappie; the Duke of York, Pembroke-street, from Ann Furlong to James Wade; the Weary Traveller, Landreath, from Joseph Elliott to Essex Lewis; the Red Rose, High-street, from John Monro to Martha Rees, all of Pembroke Dock; and the Globe, Dark-lane, Pembroke, from James Mason to Elizabeth Saies. There was an application for a transfer of the Rifle Corps Arms, East End, Pembroke, to Charles Matthews.—The Bench said an application for a transfer could not be entertained, inasmuch as there was no existing license, which license had been refused at the last general licensing day.—Wm. Hill, oi Popton, was charged by Mr Supt. G. Evans with being drunk and creating a dis- turbance at Main-street, Pembroke, on the 31st ult. He admitted the offence, and was fined 6d and costs, 7s lid.—This was the only business before the court. EXTENSION OF THE RAILWAY TO THE DOCK- YARD.—This long desired extension has at length been completed from the Gwyther-street Station into the dockyard during the past week, and coke, coal, and other stores have since been conveyed by this mode of transit into the yard. This extension, too, will, of course, in future obviate the necessity of taking the massive iron armour plating through the town on a huge waggon drawn by a large number of horses, which has been very detrimental to the streets througn which the horses and waggon passed, many of the plates weighing from lti to 18 tons each. This extension will materially enhance the pub- lic service, as now stores, munitions of war, or troops can with the greatest facility be conveyed direct into the dockyard, for embarkation or otherwise, uom any part of England or Scotland, without break of guage. The new line crosses nearly at the top of Water-street, and down behind the houses on the north side of Dimond- sireet, Queen-street East, and King-street, en- ding tthe dockyard about one hundred yards southward of the Eastern martello jd contiguous to the water side. The manager of this railway, Mr Isa.r: ï..a! pushed this extension of the line b mu^h energy, and, as we have -it has become an accomplished ">3 also are being proceeded with yroke and at Tenby, and when .t these are completed not anything further in the ( form of proper accommodation for the public 3 convenience can be desired. 1

PEMBROKE DOCK ANNCAI DINNER.—For upwards of thirty years past it hue been the custom of the prin- cipal tradesmen and other inhabitants of the town and locality to meet in the early pur* of each succeeding year. and to dine together. This meeting has always been held at the Victoria Hotel, where it was held upon the occasion of the year 1871, on Tuesday even- ing, about thirty gentlemen being present, The dinner was served up in the usual good style for which the worthy hostess, Mrs Jenkins, is proverbial. The weather was simply execrable, as the wind blew quite a gale from the south-east, accompanied with cold, heavy rain. The chairman of these meetings for several years past has been Mr. William Thomas, Orange Hall (ex-mayor). but we regret to say that from severe indis- position, coupled with the inclement weather was, as well as many others old friends pre- vented from attending. However, in his abscene, thechairwasworthily occupied by Mr Councilor A. Long, who conducted the proceedings in the most felicitous manner, in which he was ably seconded by vis-a-vis, Mr James Truscott. sen. Amongst the guests were—his Worship the Mayor, Alderman S. Jenkins, Alderman W. H. Lewis, Dr. H. D. Reynolds; Coun- cillors W. John, W. F. Willliams, and W. J. Davies; Mr J. Gibby, Imble Farm Mr Buttery, naval instructor at the dockyard Mr Reid, H. M.'s customs; Mr T. Ward Davies, Pembroke Messrs. T. Tucker, S. Webb, R. Warlow, M. Nicholson, T. Thomas (draper); Mr G. Butler, foreman at the dock- yard Mr Thomas, master founder, and Mr W. John, engineer, both of the dockyard, &c. The dinner was held in the assembly-room, which was very tastefully decorated. After the cloth was removed the usual loyal toasts were duly honoured. The chairman proposed the Army, Nary, Militia, Yeomanry and Volunteers," coupled with the names of Messrs. T. W. Thomas and S. Webb, of both the latter services, and who briefly responded. The chairman then proposed the toast, The town we live in," with the name of Mr Alder- man Lewis. (Great cheering.) Alderman, Lewis in responding, said: Mr. Chairman gentlemen, and brother townsmen,—You are all aware that only very recently we have had a very severe frost, but I believe that the only effect the frost has had upon us is that it has made us more cordial and kindly towards each other. (Hear, hear.) And I am fully of opinion that notwithstanding its extreme severity, it has only tended to warm them as much as ever in their relationship as friend* since the frost they had had a thaw, but any change in the weather did not make much difference in respect to a man's goodness of heart (hear, hear); and I can only say for my- self, that I required no thawing, as I feel as genial now as ever I did. (Cheers.) As regards the town we live in, it gi veil. me very great pleasure to be associated with that toast; I have had the pleasure of b«ing con- nected with the trade of Pembroke-dock for many years (hear, hear); and during that lengthened period I have experienced the friendship of, I may say, nearly the whole of you. (Hear, hear.) We all live by the success of the town, and I believe that the trade of the town, and of the locality generally is improving the army and navy materially assists the trade of the town. (Hear, hear.) The position of an alderman is rather an envious one—(hear, hear, and laughter,)—at least, I think so, because, as I have already said, it has given me great pleasure to have my name, as an alderman, associated with the toast, as I believe that all of you when my health was proposed wished me prosperity—(cheers)—and I must most sincerely thank each and all of you for the very cordial manner in which you have received me. We meet upon these occasions, at this place, once a year, but I can only say that I could almost wish that we met fifty-two times a year, as I think that a reunion such as the present tends in no small degree to cement the friendship that exists amongst us as neigh- bours andbrothertradesmen of the town. I have attended at these meetings with much pleasure and satisfaction for many years, although .the flakes of the winter snow have with many of us replaced our black and brown heads of years ago, yet I feel that with the increase of years we should increase in goodness. (Hear, hear.) These meetings of friends from year to year are a source of much pleasure to me, and also doubtless to all of us ad it tends to promote goodwill and kindly feeling to all men. (Cheers.)—The chairman proposed the health of the mayor, Mr Jenkins, which was received with great cheering and the air Auld lang syne."—The mayor, in responding, said: Gentlemen, I can only thank you sincerely for your kind reception of my name. You always receive me so kindly that I am afraid I shall never be able to re- pay it. I always do the best that I can on behalf of my fellow creatures. (Hear, hear.) I am very proud of being selected mayor of this ancient borough, and I am also very proud to say that I have only had occasion to ait on the magisterial bench twice since my Section. (Cheers.) Such, I am glad to say has been the paucity of crime in the borough, s that for the past three weeks there has not 3 been any case for hearing, and I can only • hope that it may continue so. (Hear, bear.) r I have had during my short period of office a > great many returns to send to the Home office relative to the municipal electors, the various i charities, the volunteers, and other matters } but I am glad to say that in my magisterial capacity on the bench I have had but very » little trouble. (Hear, hear.) I once heard a 1 magistrate say that he always made an enemy of every culprit who was brought before him. However, my friends, I hope I shall pot do that, and I hope that every one brought oefure me will think that he has justice done him ac- cording to his deserts. (Hear, hear.) I very much aegret to say that since our last meeting of 1870, it has pleased Providence to remove j several old friends from amongst us, and some who would have been with us upon | this occasion, I. also regret to say are laid on beds of sickness. I can only wish that all those friends, as well as the whole of the town 5 were enjoying themselves as much as we are doing to-night. (Hear, hear.) Thanking k you for the kind manner in which you have l received my name, and hoping that we may I all live to meet again at this iestive board, I wish you all a very good health. (Cheers) —The Chairman proposed the Civil Service,' coupled with the name of Mr Reid, who briefly responded.— The chairman next pro- posed The Town and Trade of Pembroke,' with the name of Mr Ward Davies, who briefly and appropriately responded.—.Mr Alderman Lewis then proposed the health of the Chair- man, who briefly responded in a humorous speech.—The Mayor proposed the health of Captain R. Hall, the gallant superintendent, and the other officers of the dockyard, which was suitably responded to by Mr G. Butler. The other toasts were The Town Council," responded to by Mr William John; The agricultural interests," with the name of Mr J. Gibby, who responded; the ex-Mayor, Mr William Thomas the vice-chair, &c— During the evening several excellent songs were sung, ■ a most pleasant evening being spent, the guests departing well pleased with this annual reunion. r .■>— THE GARRISOJJ*.—Col.

NARBERTH. p C1 THE CASE OF CRULTY TO A DONKEY.—At b the petty sessions on Thursday, (before J. L. G. n: P. Lewis, Esq, R. Ward, Esq, and R. Buckby, "■ Esq.) Mr W. M. Griffihs, solicitor, applied on r behalf of the defendants in this case, which was heard on the previous Thursday, for a mitigation of the penalty, or> the ground that the summonses had not come to the knowledge of the defendants until the day after the hearing, they being tra- vallers, and were on a six weeks' journey before I the summonses were issued, and that it would, therefore be apparent that their non-appearance t was not to be attributed to any want of courtesy to the bench. He also stated that the persoi ? who gave evidence last week, and the person E acquitted, were really the guilty parties, and had taken advantage of the absence of his clients.— ° Mr Lewis (who did not hear the case) thought that it was a case for mitigation, and so recom- mended, but would not give a judicial opinion, as E he was partly interested in the case.—Mr Ward £ was clearly of opinion that it was a case which I had worked rather harshly on the defendants, aud for his own part, would gladly accede to the application, but Air Buckby stated that he would not consent to an alteration in his judgment. The bench being equally divided, the application s fell through. The case has created considera- 1 ble public feeling, as it is considered the fines 1 inflicted, amounting to £20, are more than com- 1 mensurate with the injuries committed, and that, in point of fact, the defendants only happened to ( pass when the dog sprang at the donkey. The I donkey is not dead, as was erroneously stated in I our report last week, and was in the cart a few 1 days after the melee. CARRYING A GUN.—Henry Scourfield, whose case was adjourned last week, was to-day fined 1 6.d and costs for carrying a gun. The defendant I had a license, but it was held to be void on the 1 commission of the trespass, for which he was 1 fined last Thursday. < nr I

TENBY. ] ODDFELLOWSHIP.—On Thursday the half- yearly audit of the accounts of the Loyal Ship and Castle Lodge of Oddfellows took place in the Lodge-room, St. George-street. The boons showed the society to be in a very flourishing condition, as will. be seen from the following statement:—Balance in hand from last audit, £29 18s 3d; contributions, &c, received, £94 17s lid; disbursements as per vouchers, £92 10s 9!d; invested in the Tenby Savings Bank, .£20; balance in hand to next account, £3 4s 7d; sum at present invested in savings bank, £1,466 5s 7d; total value of lodge pro- perty, £1.518 6s 8d, The lodge numbers over 130 members, the majority young men, and nearly all good on the books. MEETING OF THE COTTAGE HOSPITAL COM- MITTEE.—A meeting of the committee, was held in the Town-hall, on Wednesday, when the following were presentMr C. Alien, (in the chair), Dr Lock, Mr R. Power, Captain Rees, Rev. J. Pearce, Rev. J. Lewis, Mr Forde Mr Bill, and Mr Walkinton.—It was proposed by the Rev James Pearce, and seconded by Mr Power, that a letter be writtea to the town clerk accepting the offer of the Corporation of the plots of the Rope walk field, at the rent of £ 4 5s. per annum, for the term of 75 years, subject to the conditions referred to in the offer and toat the Secretary write to the Corporation requesting that the land be conveyed to Dr Dyster and Mr Allen, who will make satisfac. tory arrangements with the parties who may be appointed trustees of the Tenby Cottage Hospital. GRAND FANCY DRESS BALL.—On Wed- nesday evening, the great attraction of the hunt week—the fancy ball—came off at the Royal Assembly Rooms, and we can safely assert that a more brilliant assembly never graced the ball room at Tenby. Too much praise cannot be awarded Mr Joseph Gregory, the proprietor of the Royal Gate House Hotel, for the exquisite taste displayed in the decoration of the room. The company commenced to arrive shortly after half past nine, and continued until nearly eleven o'clock, before which hour, however, the galleries were filled, and it was a curious sight to see the grotesque medley of partners. Dancing was continued without intermission until shortly after twelve o'clock, when a move was made to the spacious supper room, and the gay throng turned attention to the magnificent supper provided by Mr Gregory. Tnere on the table was gathered all the delicacies that money could procure, and all that the ingenuity of the culinary artist could devise. And these good things arranged as they were in admirable style, could not fail to delight the eye, and would doubtless have tickled the most pampered palate. Mr Gregory on this occasion outdid his former efforts, and we can safely assert that a finer supper never was placed on a table in Teaby. We were much struck with a very handsome piece of plate—a model of Nelson's monument in Trafalgar-square in London—which graced the centre of the table, and added much to the beauty of its ap- pearance. The table was laid for forty, and the company sat down in relays. After supper dancing was continued with renewed vigour and was kept up without the slightest hitch until five a.m. The Carmarthen band was present and discoursed. sweet music. Nearly 200 ladies and gentlemen were present, the elite of the counties of Pembroke, Carmarthen, and Cardigan, amongst whom we noticed Mr Scourfield, M.P, Mr T. Meyrick, Bangeston, M.P. Mr 0. Scourfield, Mr C. Allen, Tenby Mr H. S. Allen, Creselly; Miss Ackland, Boulston Captain Anderson, Mr and Miss Corbett, Mr R.

Leach, Mrs Lawes, Mi*s M lntire, &c. HUNT BALL.—On Friday evening the hunt bal1 took place at the Royal Assembly Rooms. l L was well attended, the totAl number of persons present being 152. The arrangements, as at the tancy ball, were all that could be desired, re- flecting the highest credit on Mr Giegory's management. Dancing commenced at half-past one, aud was kept upeuntil five a.m. The band of Mr Robert Ashman in attendance. Amongst the company we noticed :—Mr M. W. Ll.

L. G. P. Lewis, Esq., Henllan, I ihairman), F. D. Dyster, Esq., M.D., Tenby, H. Scourfield, Esq., M.P., Williamston, R. avin Davies, Esq., Ridgeway, and W. E. B. I rwyn, Esq., Plas Cwrt Hir. It was proposed y Mr Scourfield, seconded by MrR. P. Davies, nd unanimously resolved that Mr Lewis be re- lected Chairman for the ensuing year. Dr. learder stated that a very considerable savinc ad been made in the cost of gas since the rection of their own works at the Asylum. In 867, gas cost £180; last year it cost only JE31 dd. It was resolved that a call be made on le Treasurers of the three counties in the Inion, for half the amount ordered for building ne Wings, amounting in the aggregate to 13,230, to be paid by them in their respective roportions, to the Treasurers of the Asylum, lessrs. Morris and Sons, on or before Friday, 'ebruary 17th next. The remaining quarterly leetings for the year were fixed as follows:— Tuesday, April 18th, Tuesday, July 18th, and Wednesday, October 23rd. The House Com- aittee visiting rota was then settled, and various heques having been signed by the Chairman, he meeting was adjourned to Tuesday, 21st February next. THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. Holland has endured as a State, Portugal is (till extant as a kingdom, and Venice has not )een moved from her ancient seat; but what las become of those commercial systems, the splendour of whose glories so dazzled the world? What is the basis of the opinion that the fate )f England will not be as the fate of all other jreat peoples relying only on commerce, or sac- :ificing too much to luxury, has been ? This is ;he true problem of national defence—to pro- ride not only for the security of territory, but br the safety of our dominion, with which is aound up the life of our commerce. We have 1 task different in kind and much more complex :han that of any continental nation. It should make us impatient even to discuss the question >f whether we are capable of defending the Approaches to London, and of providing a rallying point for the militia and for the reserves in some central part of England. We have to do far more than that before we can be said to have done all that our duty to the nation re- quires. We must never be exposed to the risk af a foreign army army upon British soil— that is the first and necessary condition of every scheme of defence. The Quarterly Re- viewer has not exaggerated the case when he says that even if we came victorious out of a death grapple on or around, these shores, it would take years, long years, to replace the capital lost in the struggle; and if beaten, it is difficult to conceive any combination of circumstances which would enable us to hope that our children now in the cradle might live to see England again as prosperous as she now is, and occupying the same im- portant position among the great nations of the earth."—Standard. A letter from the German camp before Paris says-The only weather-gauges we have here are our own bodies. We are without Fahernheits or Rtaumurs: but we need no quicksilver to tell us that there are several degrees of frost. DIATH OF 4N OLD OTTEB.—Mr John Rees, of Glanyrwythissaf, Llandilo, one day last week, shot a very large dog otter. Having tracked its points in the snow from his premises to the river Towy, which was at the time partially frozen, he soon came in view of the creature, and as it attempted to cross the ice he fired and killed it. It measured from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail, 41 feet, and weighed q2ilb. Singular to say, it had only three front teeth in its mouth. FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A LAD.—On Saturday Mr Humphreys held an inquest at the London Hospital touching the death of William Lamb, 18. Rebecca Lamb, 12, Duke-street, Bethnal- green, stated that deceased was her son. He was a cabinet maker, and carried on business at the above address. On Wednesday last, while in the top back room, he put some sawdust and shaving on the fire to make it burn up, and in doing so set the chimney on fire. He obtained a pail of water and opened the window for the purpose of getting on the roof to enable him to extinguish the fire, when he slipped and fell into the garden beneath. Witness at once rushed down stairs into the garden, where she saw him bleeding in a shocking manner, he having fallen upon the back of an old chair, which penetrated his abdomen. His bowels were protruding, and he died in great agony after his removal to the hospital. Verdict, Accidental Death." STABBINS A MAM WITH A KKD-HOT BAR.-On Friday afternoon a nailmaker, named John Donaldson, was apprehended at Durham, on a charge of cutting and wounding Joseph Curry. Both the men are employed as nailmakrrs at the works of Mr Thomas Douglass, of Gilesgate, and after dinner some chaffing ensued amongst the workmen. Donaldson being charged with having begged tickets ia the town in order to procure seup from the Durham Soup Kitchen. This assertion Donaldson denied, and what com- menced in fun speedily waxed iuto a quarrol, in which Curry is stated to have challenged Donald- Ion to go out aad fight. The latter took from the fire one of the narrow rods used in making nails and gave it two or three blows to make a point to it; then advanemgon Carry with the glowing weapon held between both hr.uds, he cxciaimed, •Til run it to your heart," and at the name instant be made a thrust at the other man. Curry s'epped back and threw up his arm, and the red hot iron was driven through the fleshy part of that -nember, on the top, mid-way between the elbow and the wrist. The other men who had witnessed the proceedings then gathered round Curry, whom they conveyed to the residence of Dr. Stoker, where his wound (which was pronounced to be severe enough, but not dangerous) was dressed. After inflicting the injury on Curry, Donaldson returned to his work, and finished the bar oi iron, he was engaged upon. He then went to his house in Turk's Head-passage, and was in the act of changing bis clothes, apparently with the intention of absconding, when he was apprehended and lodged in custody. FEABFUL SUFFERINGS OF A CREW.—A letter has just been received from the chief engineer of the screw steamer Marshland, Captain Kilmer- Bley, which at present lies almost a com- plete wreck on the Island of Worms. The Marsh- land was on her passage from Hull to Helsingfors, with a large and valuable general cargo, when she struck on the rocks near Worms, and most of her crew are reported to have suffered dreadfully from being frost-bitten. Mr Poskett, the engineer, in a letter to his wife, says:—It is with deep regret that I have to inform you of our sad disaster, but I am happy to say that we are all safe, after a very narrow escape. Our ship struck on some rocks on the 17th ultimo, but we got her off again, and managed to keep her afloat until the morning of Tuesday, the 20th, when our pumps became choked with coal. Then we had to take to the boats and leave her. We were in the boats until next morning, with 16 degrees of frost. I am sorry to say that we are all with the exception of three of us, in a fearful state of frostbite. I am writing now in misery. I have got no use in my fingers, and my left foot, is bad. I don't know when we shall get home, as they won't let us go untH we are better. We have been on the Island of Worms until last night, and have been treated with great kindness. T"e have a long ride before us to-morrow. We have to go to Revel, a distance of about 60 miles, and if there we have to go into the hospital, I shall feel thankful if we come home with our fingers and toes. Poor Holmes, I am afraid,. will lose one of his feet, but don't tell his wife that. I expect to lose all the flesh of my finger ends, if nothing worse. When we come home, we can only bring what we stand in, for we have lost everything. Joseph High ia very bad, about almost as bad as Holmes. John White's fingers are also very bad, and so is William Scott's right ear, and he expects to lose one of his large toes, in consequence of the frost-bite." The Marshland was a very fine iron steamer, and was, we understand, the property of Mr A. Primi, of Hull. A meeting was held at Gtvenwicn on Monday a:ght to support a requtsi ion to Mr Gladstone t, resign his seat, for the borough, on account of his ( alleged neglpct of its interests, and of the weakness < of his home and foreign poiicy. Resolution condemnatory of Mr. Gladstones poiioy passed. CONVICTIONS FOR SUNDAY SHAVING.- On 1 Monday, at the police court, Bolton, two hairdressers, named Lancaster and Bennison, were charged at the instance of the Bolton Hairdressers' Association, with shaving on Sunday, the 1st inst., "the same not being a work of neceseity or charity." The offences were proved, and defendants were each fined 5s., the prosecutors to pay the costs, 9a. in each case. A RECENT letter from the pastor of Norfolk Island states that a new church is being built there, to be called all Saints. The settlers here are the Pitcairners, the mutineers of the Bounty and their decendants. Bishop Pattecon recently visited the island, and says that the church, which is entirely the work of the people there, is very creditable to their talents.— The Rock. The Christian Knowledge Society report, with reference to the £10,000 recently voted for the building and enlarging of schools in connection with the Church of England and erection of teachers'residences, that 997 ap- plications were received for help towards ac- commodating 169,702 children. They ac- cordingly determined to make grants as far as the money at their disposal would go at the rate of 5s. a-head for the extra accommodation provided, with £10 for a teacher's residence. On this basis they were able to assist 326 cases. —The Rock. SHERRY,——There is no more powerful logic thaI that offsets; and we have been much struck, in looking through the returns of the consumption of wines in the United Kingdom, to find that the quantity of sherry upon which duty was paid during the past year was almost equal to the total quantity of wine from other countries than Spain. This is the more remarkable, because the alteration of duties i- 1862, which did so much for the wines of France and Germany, had the effect of placing sherry at a corresponding disadvantage, inasmuch as the new acale of duties was 150 per cent. in favour of light wines, such as claret, act., as com- pared with port and sheiry. The medical pro- fession has no doubt done much also to increase the demand for light wines and yet, on reflection it is not difficult to see that there are many reasons which, when taken singly, would not appear to be of much importance, bat have, nevertheless, almost imperceptibly influenced the public in their selection of sherry in preference to all other wines for general household use. The almost unlimited quantity of wins produced in Spain has made sherry a com- paratively moderate priced wine, while its intrinsic value bears a more definite relection to its selling price than is the case with the growths of other countries where the value depends, te a great extent upou the reputation of some particular estate, vintage, or district—matters which are at best but uncertain guides to actual value. The produce of Spain has always been shipped to this country under the name simply of sherry and its price, consequently, has been determined more strictly by actual value. Beyond this, sherry has some decided advantages over most other wines. It does not, like port, deposit a crust, and thus become liable to lose it brilliancy by removal or variations of temperature. As compared with light wines such as clarets and hock, it has the further advantiges of economy, from its keeping convenience, as it is thus always at hand whether required for use at meals or on other occasions. Considered medically, sherry is a wholesome stimulant, more perfectly fermented than malt liquor and its extractive matters are undoubtedly more dlgeetiblo than those of either malt bever- ages or of port or other kinds of wine. Many kinds of light sound sherry have bitter qualities1 such as are especially marked in Manzanilla, whiah made them distinctly tonic and appetising and it harmonises better than other wines with all kinds of light vegetable tonics and bitters calculated to improve an enfeebled digestion. It admits readily of dilution, without loosing its characteristics. We must confess to have found much interesting information on the subject of wine in a pamphlet published by Messrs W. and A. Gilhy-A Treatise on the Winet of the different producing Countries. The chapter headed The Chemistry of Wine" contains some statistics and information of special interest to the medical pro- fession, compiled by some of the most eminent analytical chemists of the day. The generally increased consumption ef wiwe is no doubt due to the fact that its present cost is only about one- half of what it was ten or twenty years ago; and this decrease in price is unquestionably owing in a great measure to the fact that wine has become more strictly a commercial article, to be obtained almost everywhere of grocers or others, just in the same manner as we procure the other ordinary articles of daily consumption the grocer obtaining his supplies from some well known house of established reputation, and Belling it at certain fixed prices. We have been turning our attention lately to these wines and the quantity of moder- ate priced wines purchased in this way proves to be of a far higher average then that of wines of greater pretentions sold by vintners and small wine-merchants. The subject is one of consider- able dietetic importance; we propose to detail some of the results of the examinations which we have instituted. Cheapness is by no means incom- patable with good quality. In the south of Europe grapes are the most prolific productions of the soil; and there is, iadeed, no reason why wine should not ultimately he sold in this country at even much lower prices—the high rate of duty, expense of nonveyance, and other intermediate charges, now forming an item much more formidable than the first Cost of the wine itself. The best way we know to encourage an honest competition likely to bringjabout this desirable result. il! occasionally to test and report on tne relative qualities and prices of the cheaper wines otfered for sale.—British Medical Journal, Jan. 7th.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday morning Mr Brewer held an inquest at the Tradesman's Arms Inn on the body of Mrs Ann Bingley, who died suddenly on Thursday morning at Newport. The evidence went to show that de- ceased had been poorly for some little time pre- viously, and on Thursday morning she asked her daughter to make her a cup of tea and give it to her in bed. The daughter proceeded to carry out her wishes, but before the tea W95 ready a little boy came down stairs, and said Oh, mammy is looking very bad." Wheo the daughter got to the bed-room, deceased fell back, and commenced snoring very heavily. j. medical man was sent for, but when he arrived she had ceased to breathe. The gentleman called in gave it as his opiniou that death, was the result of an apopletic fit. Verdict ac- cordingly. Deceased was a widow, and about fifty-two years of age.
