iiJl?DEJi IN STAFFORDSHIRE- Late on Friday night an intimation was conveyed to the Foice at Hanley to the effect that a triple murder had been attempted at Brownedge, about tevert miles distant. Superintendent Baker imme- diately started for the place, and found that there was only too much basi" for the communication, fvr that one victim had succuinbt d, and that two others had their throats cut. The circumstances are as follows :—A colher named James Gocdwin. occupies a cottage, bis household comprising on Fri- day morning his wife, a daughter aged ten years, and an infant of ten months. Towards night on Friday the other dwel'ers in the hamlet were hor- rified by the fact of the daughter rushing out of the cottage bleeding from a wound in her th oat. They gathered from her that her mo hør had done It, sind they went to the cottage door, which they found to be fa^t. An entrance was effected, and on go ng up tairs they found Mrs. Goodwin and her infant on a bed, both having their throats cut. A surgeon was sent for, but before Irs arrival the infant died. He attended to the wounds of the mother and daughter, which were less serious than thati flicted on the infant. The daughter ha, since stated that her mother asked her to go upstairs, that she com- plied, and was followed cio ely by her mother, who immediately seized her, and cut her throat with a razor, and 'hat she struggled from her mother's grasp, and escaped out of the house. The razor was found under the bed, and was Goodwin's. Nine years ago Mrs. Goodwin was mentally affected, ne- cessitating partial confinement in Leek workhorse, buf there has been no recent indication of insanity, and Goodwin states that when he left home in the morning there was not the slightest excitement or peculiarity observable in her manner. Goodwin, a" m:1Y be supposed, was greatly affected by the com- munication of the sad affair to him while at his work and before midnight was thoroughly pro trated. Mrs. Goodwin was at once placed under police sur- veillance at her home, her removal being deemed dangerous.

OPENING OF THE NEW HALL, INNER TEMPLE. Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise, accom- panied by Prince Christian, opened the new hall of the Inner Temple, on Saturday. The new hall is of Goth:c design, and is from the plans of Mr. Smirkie. The Princess Louise, who was attired in a light blue silk dress, arrived at half-past one. She passed from the Great Hall info the library, where she received the following address May it please your Royal Highness,—We, Her Majesty's faithful subjects, the treasurer and mas- ters of the bench, the barristers and fellows of the Society of the Inner Temple, are anxious to express, with gracious permission of Her Majesty and of your Royal Highness, our deep sense of the honour conferred upon our Society by Her Majesty's con- descension in allowing herself to be thus represented on this auspicious occasion. It is now upwards of two centuries since this Society was honoured with sue i a mark of the favour of the Sovereign, and we Lumbly embrace this opportunity of testifying our gratitude for this eminent proof of Her Mnjestv's gracious favour and regard for the profession of which we are members. The new hall, which Her Majesty has so graciously consented should be opened under her august patronage bv your Roval Highness, is built on the site of that of the Knight Templars, which, with alterations made in it from time to time, has, ever since the reign of Her Ma- jesty s royal ancestor, King Edward III. been de- voted to the service of the members of our profes- sion. Whiie we feel that this Society has always included in its body many of the servants of the Crown, who have been in their time eminently dis- tinguished, not only for their learning' and integrity, but for their devoted lovalty and attachment to the Throne, we may hope in the same spirit, and with the same devotion, which we most humbly but earnestly feel, to merit a continuance of Her Ivla- jesty s royal favour, which will at the same time be our boast and our reward. It is, we are well as- sured, only by a faithful performance or the trust reposed in us, and by our anxious and und^viating endeavour to uphold the independence and d:gnity of the Bar of England, we can do that to which oui duty and our affections most nrdently prompt u- give to the Tyrone its best and its firmest support, Since Her Majesty's happy accession to the Throne this country has indeed been blessed, under Her Mi jetty's auspices, with many amendment, of the law, by whi'-h property and life have been rendered more secure, and we know that the same spirit whi'^h has hitherto thus so graciously consulted the welfare of her subjects will ever be ready to watch over their interests and to promote their prosperity. That Her Mljesty may lon-r reig-n over a hap y, loyal, and devoted people is the most fervent prayer which wi h all our hearts and feelings we off'T u") to Almignty God." The Princess read an answer to the address, in which s^>e?aid that she bad great pleasure in representing Her Majesty upon the oc- casion, and in meeting the illustrious Bar of Eng- land on the event of the opening of this magnifi- cent building up n a site rich with historic vecol- lecfion. She thanked them in the na-ue of the Quepn for their loyal sentiments towards her throne and family, and also for herself for the manno" in wcich they had welcomed her. Prince Christian was then informed that he had been elf%cted n mem- ber of the benchers. The Prince brienv expressed his sn/isfaction, and was th"!1 inducted "Into a bencher's gown.

ATTEMPT TO MURDFU AT MAIDSTONE. A young man, named Dray, was-committed for trial on Saturday morning, at Maidstone, on a charge of having made an attempt to murder his grandfather by shooting at him with a pistol. It appears that the grandson had resided with his grandfather since his infancy, but of late had ac- quired the habit of staying out at night. On Thurs- day, on his grandfather remonstrating, he took up a knife, and attempted to cat the old man's throat, at the same time threatening to murder him on some future occasion. The threat induced the grandfather not to sleep v. ith him that night, as had been h:s custom. On Friday morning, upon the return of the grandfather from work to break- fast, about eight o'c ock, looking through the front; room window, he heard the report of firearms and felt a bullet pass close to his head, sma-hing the window in front of him. Upon turning round he saw ihe grand-on enveloped in smoke. The house- keeper, who was in the pan'ry at the time, rushed forward and seized a pistol from the right hand of the grandson, asking him at the time whether ho had any more, upon which he expressed a wish that he had. The screams of the housekeeper instantly brought two neighbours on the scene, who detained the grandson. When taken to the station-house by Police-sergeant Rhodes he was searched. Upon his person were found a powder flask, four bullet s, and several percussion caps. Upon being charged by Superintendent Gifford with shooting at "his grandfather with intent to murder hi n. prisoner answered, "Just so; he should not have lacked me out." The bullet was afterwards found flattened in a stre et fronting the house, having struck against a wall facing the window through which it passed.

The Rev. Newman Hall preached his first sermon in the Surrey Chaoel, London, on Sunday, since his return from a three months' tour in Palestine.

JOHN- STUART MILL ON THE CONDITION OF j WOMEN.—The Paris papers publish the following lette r, addressed by Mr. John Stuart Mill, in French. to Mdlle. Daubic, the author of a work entitled 1 The Moral Condition of Poor Women in the Nine- j teenth CenturyMademoiselle, — You have a E right to be surprised at the delay in my answer to your letter. But your book is one of those which [ one is not content to read in haste, and some time '-< passed before the pressure of my occupations per- [' mirted me to devote to it the time and attention • which it deserved. You have written a work, Mademoiselle, of great value, and all the more' mer-corious that it must have been very painful to I write it. I have i-arely,read a more sad book. One has never, I believe, revealed in fuller detail the miseries of life for the great majority of women. and the revolting injustices of masculine society with respect to them. I should like if this book I ''V Y? roacl fl'om beginning to end by all men r>' .i; .W+T!nof the so-called enlightened class, of would a)ake many of them ashamed fnl anil lnaetion in fa^e of evils so fright- Franee is far f CGS v,° monstrous- Unfortunately, „ m h^ng on this question the bad wribut?t0 Social reformers better than tW helieve that other countries .Ll af 0wn" Unhappily, the differ- ence very often more apparent than real. In many passages you give an amount of praise to Eng- land on the subject m question which it is far from deserving, and tno-e who m England uphold the cause of women oiten pretend in their turn that their condition is much better in France Unhap- rily, hoth deceive themselves. As to the commence- ment which has been made here here in the rcni- iati n of prostitution, and which some are endea- vouring to extend, your book would suffice to con- demn it without appeal. This attempt has excited hero very serious resistance. An association of women, some of whom are very distinguished, has been formed to excite opinion aga, nst this deplor- ''b p system. They are heartily seconded by men, ano there is reason to hope not only that the up- aohh rs of the system will not venture to go further, biu that they will be obliged to undo what they h ve done.—Accept, Mademoiselle, the expression of my high and respectful consideration. J. S. MILL. The Cambridge Chamber of Agriculture resolved jn Saturday to petition Parliament against the repeal of the law on hawkers' licenses and game 3ertificates. Mr. J. F.

The prisoner is a stout, healthy-looking, b' ixom Irish girl, with an unmistakable Hibernian t,rogue. She arrived in Wakefield at a late hour on Wednesday evening last, and seems to have loitered II about the station premises all night. She contrived to get into the booking-office, and remained there for some time. Ultimately, about eight o'clock in the morning, she was supplied with a ticket for Halifax, on credit, having promised to return in the evening, and pay the clerk. In the carriage she produced several unstamped railway ticket-, and showed them to her fellow passengers. She also sang some songs for their amusement. Arrived at Halifax, she coolly went to the booking office, and presented the half of a first-class return ticket from Wakefield to Sheffield, and asked if it would be right. The clerk in charge detained her, and sent her back to Wakefield. On examination at the booking-office, it was discovered that a first-class return ticket for Bath, one for Southampton. arid one for Sheffield were missing, the value of which — £ 7 3d.—would have to be accounted for by W. Harger, the clerk in charge. The prisoner ma*de a rambling statement in defence, to the effect that she was reared respectable," and left her home in i Auld Ireland" for the purpose of coming to be | servant in the household of the Rev. Geo. Potter, at j Sheffield. She alleges she missed her way at Liver- pool, got to Manchester, and thence wandered about until she turned up at Wakefield.—The Bench re- i manded her for a week, to give rtime to communi- i cate with her relatives, there being doubts afc to her sanity. A WOMAN SUED FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.—In the Irish Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday, an action for a breach of promise of marriage was brought by Ross M'Mahon, commercial traveller, against Mrs. Anne Farrell, who is a pawnbroker at Castlehill, in the county of Carlow. Damages were laid at .8300. The plaintiff, a widower, who has several sons, is in the habit of buying goods in Eng- land and disposing of them in various places, and in the course of his business, and according to his own representations, an acquaintance arose between him and Mrs. Farrell, which terminated in an agreement to marry. The lady has one child, about five years of age, by her previous marriage, and her brothers and other relations were opposed to the match: but the plaintiff deposed that he agreed to make a settlement of £600 upon the defendant and her son in sums of £300 each, and a document was drawn up by the phuntiff and given to the de- fendant, who was to submit it to a local solicitor but though this was not clone, it was alleged that the defendant expressed h erself satisfied with the arrangement proposed, ana fixed Easter Tuesday, IS iD, for the'marriage. The defendant subsequently re'used to carry out the alleged contract. The plaintiff gave evidence in siipport of the promise to marry, and of the arrang ement in reference to the settlement.—On cross-e> 'Amination he denied that he ever forced his way into the defendant's room against her will, but stat ed that at a period when she was very ill he remained with her and gave her medicine, two nurses being present. He also stated that when her i lnets became serious, and the priest was expected, sha j?ave him the key of a drawer, out of which she desired him to take a g; iid watch, a pair of gold earrings, hei* own pro- perty, and two rings which he had given her, and told him if she died he was to have them ii* prefer- ence to her brother, who had interfered with the, match. He took the articles and produced them, stating that he retained them for the presetit as evidence for the jury of the fidelity of the de fen- dant towards him at that time. He did not th. ink it wrong to retain the articles until the action w as over.—In reply to the Judge, the plaintiff said h e had not £600 in cash to settle on the defendant, but he had some goods. He had no fixed home • when the contract to marry was made; his children were cared for by a married sister, to whom he gave money for their support. He earned, he said, con- siderable SUMS. He could buy silver watches in England and pledge them in Dublin and Oarlow at a profit of 10s. each.—No evidence was given lor the defendant. The Jury, after a short delibera- tion, found a. verdict for the defendant. Some new and stringent rules are in force at the Munich Opera.

Shortly before the race Addy was opening the window of his room, when his hand slipped and went through a square of glass, where- by he received a severe cut against the thumb, but notwithstanding this he showed up on the river I and announced to the referee the accident, stating that he would not be able to row. Taylor therefore rowed over and obtained the stakes. ARREST OF SUPPOSED FENIANS.—On Saturday evening, a telegram was received at the Harrow Road Police Station, stating that several Fenians would arrive at the Paddington terminus from Bir- mingham, by a train arriving at a certain hour. In consequence of the information about twenty of the X division of police awaited the arrival of the train, and arrested three men who were supposed to be Fenians, and also took possession of some fifty revolvers. A man who was supposed to be waiting for them was also arrested, and when he was searched, between .£100 and .£200 was found upon him in coin and notes. The prisoners, who were followed from Oxford by Inspector Barrett, are de- tained at the Harrow Road Police Station. On Mon- day a man named John Wilson, who had the 50 revolvers in his posession, and Michael Davis, who was waiting for him at Paddington, were brought up at the Marylebone Police Court, London, and remanded. A SAD. STORY.—At the Berks Petty Sessions held it Windsor, on Saturday, a young woman named Mary Ann Bailey, about 22 years of age, was cha ged with having deserted her infant child. On the morning of the 18th April the child was discovered in a ditch near the Clewer House of Mercy, where it had evidently been for some time, being almost dead from cold. The prisoner was apprehended a te v days ago in London, when she confessed to having placed the child where it was found, she be ing destitute at the time. She also stated that the father of the child was a soldier in the Grenadier Guards, named Allen, with whom she had lived for some time, but who had recently cast her off. The prisoner also said that Allen had tried to persuade her to throw the child and another that she had had previously into the river, and had also endeavoured to induce her to walk the streets. The magistrates expressed their opinion that if this statement was true the man Allen was the worse of the two. The prisoner was remanded for a week. THE WANDERING LUNATIC —On the magistrates taking their seats at the Brentford Petty Sessions, on Saturday, the chairman (Mr. F. H. N. Glossop), addressing the reporters, said that as the case of John Henry. Jenkins, who was last week brought up en a charge of being a wandering lunatic, had attracted a good deal of public attention, he thought it right to state that, although the bench, in face of the authority of detention held by Dr. Liwry, felt bound to hand the prisoner over to his custody, they had addressed a letter to the Commissioners or Lunacy, calling their especial attention to the re- markably intelligent conduct of the prisoner whilst in custody. A great many letters had been ad- dressed to the bench on the case, and for the satis- faction of the writers, he thought it proper to ex- plain that the bench had referred the matter to tho Commissioners. He now held a reply from that authority, in which they stated that the case was well known to them, and they did not thiak that Jenkins was in a fit state to be discharged but that they would take care that he should not be de- tained longer than was absolutely necessary for his own, as well as for the public safety. The Com- missioners would visit Dr. Lowry's establishment again very shortly, and then the case should have every attention. COURTESIES OF THE IRISH BENCH.—The Irish Judges were occupied on Saturday, in the Court for the Consideration of Crown Cases Reserved, in hear- ing arguments in the case of Regina v. Meagher. The prisoner had been sentenced to penal servitude for writing threatening letters; and the strongest point against him was that the three stamps on the letters he was said to have written had been torn off a sheet of postage stamps which was found in his drawer. In the course of Serjeant Armstrong's argument for the Crown, when the learned coun- sel was arguing that the evidence in relation to the postage stamps pressed strongly against the pri- soner, the Lord Chief Justice (Whiteside) observed that he did not see how any person of ordinary mind could appreciate the force of the point made. —Mr. Justice Morris said he happened to be a per- son of ordinary mind, and he could see very plainly the cogency of the argument, which was in fact al- most conclusive.—The Lord Chief Justice repeated that he could not see it.—Mr. Justice Morris said if people did not understand argument he could not help it. Arguments, however, would be better understood if there were less interuptions of coun- sel.—The Lord Chief Justice said he considered that a most unwarrantable observation.—Mr. Justice Morris said he did not mean to be put down by remarks of that kind. He had his duty to discharge and he would do it.—The Chief Justice Eaid he too, had his duty to discharge, and was not to be lectured because he discussed the point of a case with counsel. DEATH OF THE DEAN OF ROCHESTER.—The very Rev. Thomas Dale, Dean of Rochester, died sud- denly on Saturday night. The deceased dignitary, who was familiarly known in London as Canon Dale, was born Agg. 22, 1797, and was consequently in the 73rd year of his age. He was educated at Christ's Hospital and Corpus Christi College, Cam- bridge. Having written the "Widow of Naiu" when he was only twenty-one, he continued to maintain himself at college by his pen until he gra- duated, and was ordained in 1822. For some years he instructed pupils as a private tutor, and in 1828 he was appointed Professor of the English Lan- guage and Literature at the London University, all office which be resigned in 1830; and he filled the corresponding chair in King's College from 1836 to 1839. In 1835 he was appointed vicar of St. Bride's and eight years afterwards he was appointed a Canon of St. Paul's having been indebted to Sir R bert Peel for both preferments. He exchanged St. Bride's for St. Pancras in 1846, and in 1857 re- signed the latter benefice for the rectory of Ther- field, Hants. It was only three or four weeks since he was installed as Dean of Rochester. The works of the very rev. gentleman are numerous and popu- lar, and consist of poems, sermons, and transla- tions in prose and verse. His death was publicly announced on Monday afternoon by the Rev. Parry Liddon, his successor as C inon of St. Paul's, who, in the course of a very eloquent sermon, paid a high tribute of respect to the memory of the late Dean, who had been for upwards of thirty years a Canon in the cathedral. GREAT MASONIC FESTIVAL.-INSTALMENT OFEAIII DE GREY AND RIPON AS GRAND MASTER.—On Sat- urday Earl de Grey and Ripon was installed Grand Master Mason of the Freemasons. Seven hundred brethren were present.The M.W.G. Master, the Earl of Zetland presided, and was supported by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, P.G.M.; Brs. Hall, Provincial G.M. of Cambridgeshire, as D.G.M.; the Earl of Dalhousie, P.D.G.M., and Grand Master of Scotland and Br. Earl Percy, 'M.P., S.G.W.—The New Grand Master said: Most Worshipful Past Grand Master and Brethren,—Under other circumstances I should have been induced to address you some observations -first, to endeavour to carry the expression of my deep feelings for the manner you have received me, and the honour you have conferred upon me; and secondly, to say a few words with regard to the principles upon which I propose to conduct the bus- iness of the craft, so long as the most important task of presiding over your interests is left in my hands. But, brethren, I am sure you will excuse me if, at the present time, I feel unable to do more than express to you my deep gratitude in the simplest tones—(cheers)—and I can assure you my gratitude is not less sincere because words fail me thoroughly to express it. (Cheers.) I can say no more than tbat ii-om the bottom of my heart I most sincerely thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me. (Cheers.) The Right Worshipful Brother the Earl of Cardogan was appointed deputy Grand Master. —Brother Kavers, P.G.W., as chairman of a Com- mittee to raise a testimonial of respect to the late worshipful Grand Master, presented him with the insult, amounting to £ 2,750.—The Earl of Zetland, who spoke with great emotion, assured the brethren tlmt it gave him great pleasure to accept the deed an,d this magnificent proof of the respect of the bre- tlor.en.—The lodge wab then closed in duo form. L. n ■ ■■ i- — — In consequence of the violent manner m wtucfi MM. Henri Rochefort and Paschal Grousset have been abus ng the Go-ernment in the columns of the Marseillaise, the Governor of Ste. Pelagie has informed those gentlemen that if they send any further contributions they will be placed in solitary confinement^ CANADA AND THE IRONTRADE.—Two locomotives have been built at Bristol for the Toronto, Grey, and Bruce, Railway, and are on their way to Canada, while a third is in course of construction. The president of the road and Mr. Laidlaw have visited England with reference to the purchase of rails. Mr. Shedden, president of the Toronto Nipissing Railway Company, is also about to proceed to Scot- land with a view to the purchase of ra.ls. A bill has been brought in by Mr. H. B. Sheridan, M.P., to protect the goods of lodgers against execu- tions upon the property of the landlord. It provider that an under-tenant, if threatened with a distress may make a, declaration that the immediate tenant has no property in the goods distrained, and if after ,c,ur:h declaration any person levies or threa'ens tc levy a distress on the lodgers' goods, he shall be deemed to be guilty of a misdemeanour, and shall also be liable to an action of law for damages. The Musical Standard says that the Emperor cf the French graciously presented a magnificent set of pearls and diamonds to Mdlle. Nilsson on her leaving Paris for London. Signor Francesco Bosa, the sculptor, who recently died at Venice, has bequeathed all his works of art, statues, engravings, books, paintings, and drawings to the Museo Correr; and has left his house, with other artistic objects, to the trustees of the fund in I aid of distressed artists. According to L' Art Musical, the programme of Mdlle. Nilson is complete up to the point of her retirement from the profession. After the present London season, she goes to America, remaining there thirteen months. Returning, she takes the place of Madame Patti at St. Petersburg, and then bids farewell to the lyric stage. During divine service in the Church of St. Sul- pice, Paris, the other day, an explosion was heard, proceeding from one of the side chapels. It ap- pears that some mischievous person had placed there some gunpowder, wrapped up in paper and attached to the bar of a window, with a fuse com- municating to it from the ground, on which several detonating balls had been placed. One of the con- gregation, in passing, had trodden on one of these, and produced the commotion. Fortunately the gunpowder did not go off. THE FENIANS.—A Washington despatch of the 28th ult. says :—Many of the secret circulars of the Fenian organisation have reached the British Le- gation and the Department of State. They are thus placed in possession of its plans and purposes. Within the past six months two or three separate dates have been fixed for a movement upon Canada, and the 1st of May is fixed for an invasion. There is no doubt that a large amount of war materials belonging to the Fenians is distributed along the border. Our Government has adopted all available means to restrain the possible movement and p e- vent a breach of our neutrality laws, and of this fact the British Government are fully informed. Gentlemen of high official position cannot, they ay, see any motive for the invasion of Canada, unless it be to involve the United States and Great Britain in hostilities, or further complicate the questions now at issue between the two countries. A party < f twenty Fenians passed through Boston last eve.D.- ing uniformed with long overcoats of Irish frieze and carrying well-filled knapsacks. They were bound North. A COUSIN OF THE PREMIER KLLLED.-Tho BId- bourne Argus gives the particulars of a lamentable accident at Terang, by which JYh. Robert C. Glad- stone, whom it describes as a cousin oi the Pr.iiie Minister, lost his life. Mr. Gladstone was riding a young horse in the township of Terang, near tae residence of the Hon. Neil Black, with whom he was connected by relationship, and when near the cricket ground was observed by a Mr. Rees to be unaible to control the horse. Mr. Gladstone was either thrown off or jumped off the horse, and so fe l on the ground on his back, retaining a hold of the reins. The animal plunged about and tram- pled upon him in the chest and stomach. It was seen that severe inj urie3 had been received, and medical aid was at once procured. Nothing could be done, however, to save the patient's liie,' and after lingering for two days Mr. Gladstone die. the immediate cause of death, as certified to by the medical men, being rupture of the liver. The de- ceased gentleman was a young man of genial and engaging disposition, and had the goodwill of every person with whom he had been brought in cotitaci. His remain were followed to the burying place, the Terang Cemetery, by a large number or the resi- dents of the districts, and the tradespeople of Terang shewed their respect to the deceased by closing their places of business. THE DOGMA OF INFALLIBILITY.—The printed scheme of the dogma of infallibility has been ais- tributed. It contains five canons :—1. If any ono should say that the episcopal chair of the R man Church is not the true and real infallible chair 01 Blessed Peter, or that it has not been divinely chosen by God as the most solid, indefectible, and incorruptible rock of the whole Christian Church, let him be anathema. II. If any one should say that there exists in the world another infallible chair of the truth of the Gospel of Chr.st our La.d, distinct and separate from the chair of B lessee Peter, let him be anathema. III. If any one shoa d deny that the divine magisteriwm of the chair 0: Blessed Peter is necessary to the true way of eternal salvation for all men, whether unfaithful or faithful, whether laymen or bishops, let him he anathema. IV. If any one should say that each Roman Pontiff, legitimately elected, is not by Divine rignt the suc- cessor of Blessed Peter, even in the gift of the in- fallibility of mngisterium, and should deny to any one of them the prerogative of infallibility for teaching the Church the Word of God pure from all corruption and error, let him be anathema. V. If any one should say that general councils are estab- lished by God in the Church as a power of feeding the Divine flock in the word of faith superior to the Roman Pontiff, or equal to him, or necessary by Divine institution in order that the magisterium of the Roman Bishop should be preserved infallible, let him be anathema. SILVER MINES IN SCOTLAND.—It is stated that the ancient silver mines on .the Bathgate hills, Linlithgowshire, which are situate about three mile.; form the town of Bathgate, have been leased by Mr. Henry Aitken, coal-master, Falkirk, from the Earl of Hopetoun. These mines were worked for manv years by King James VI. of Scotland, but owing to a want of proper machinery at that period, the yield did not pay tbe working. The King, it is stated, brought a great number of skilled workmen from Germany, who explored the hills, wrought the ore, and extracted from it silver and lead, the latter, however, being greatest in quantity. Several small nuggets of gold have also been found on different occasions. Silver pieces, coined from the produce of the mines during the period when Linlithgow was the residence of roynlL, are still extant. The place where the metal was formerly smelted is to this day called Silver Mill, and the farm on which the quarries or mines exist is called the Silver Mine. For many years the vein was lost, but about six or seven years ago a number of gentlemen be- longing to Bathgate subscribed money and re-com- menced operations. They found out parts of the lost workings, and also came upon a new vein of silver which runs downwards through limestone rock. The quantity of ore extracted on t at occa- sion was worth about .£30; but the whole of it was taken away in the shape of specimens and mantel- piece ornaments by geologists and others. The gentlemen referred to were advised to trace this vein until it went through the rock; but, in con- sequence of the pecuniary difficulties, the workings were abandoned. It is believed, however, that through thev energy of Mr. Aitken the subject will now be thoroughly investigated, and the value of the mines properly ascertained.—Scotsman. A POPULAR PARISIAN NEWSPAPER.—The contri- butors to the Cigarette aU sign their names, and seem to be a happy and united fraternity; but they are very seldom of the same opinion upon anv sub- ject. Sometimes the proprietor (who is also rOllli- nally editor-in-chief), and one or more of his staff en- tertain convictions of so opposite a character that they come to open dispute, and argue it out ami- cably in a series of leading articles, abounding in spirit and good humour. The public take a lively interest in these discussions. Every contributor to the paper is, so to speak, a friend of the Parisian world, indeed, of tout Ie monde," as it calls itself. We, the readers of the Cigarette, know all their ac- quaintance, their habits, and mode of life; where they dined yesterday, where they mean to dine to- morrow, the tradesmen they employ, and the works of art they admire. The paper has a freshness and liveliness about it quite astonishing- when compared with our own newspaper paragraphs. The editor is a favourite actor, who is always on the sta^e of our social life. His portrait, in every conceivable attitude, figures in the shop windows of all the print sellers; and no photographer's advertisement frame is complete without him. This worthy and genial gentleman seems absolutely to live in public, and dil'gently records every act of his existence in the colums of his journal. Thus, he had a house to be let or to be sold, and the subject was treated in a leading article so delightful, that almost the entire population of Paris went to look at it. It was vi- sited by so many holiday parlies, bent on passing an agreeable day, that another leading article, of a still more amusing character, was written to mo- derate the enthusiasm of persons whose imagi- nation had been over-excited by the first. When- ever it chances that one of the staff has a duel, or a love affair, or makes a joke at an evening party, or buys a new coat, the capital city of France and its sutairbs is informed of the circum- stance. these confidences are made in a style so terse, vigorous, and elegant, they have such a vivid human interest, that the reader is infinitely charmed by their perusal, and the bright, friendly little print appears every morning as the most familiar and welcome of guests. Even to read it again at a cafe after dinner, it is as invigorating as a. glass of curaijO.t.—Dickens's AM the Year Rownd."
