PAIN.
PAIN. From a statement publ shed by the chief of Marshal Serrano's staff it appears that the army of the north is now divided into three "army corps;' the first under General Moriones, captain-general of Navarre; the second under General Pieltao, cap ain-general of th*; Basque province and the third under General Loma captain-general of Burgos. General Laserna is general- in-cnief of the wholi army of the north. The official Garlist journal reports that Marshal Espartero died at Logrono on the 21st instant, but the report lacks confirmation.
PRUSSIA.
PRUSSIA. Count Armin has sent in his appeal against the sentence passed on him. The public prosecu or had lodged his appeal a few hours before, both of them having left it to the las. day on which notice of appeal could be given.
THE UNITED STATES.
THE UNITED STATES. Mr Byerley, the editor of the Buletin of New Orleans, has died from a stab received from Mr Waimouth in a dispute, the latter gentleman's advocacy d the negroes a viag been severely criticised in the Bulletin.
PERSIA.
PERSIA. The Cologne Gazette states that the Shah's visit to Europe has occasioned many alterations in the external appearance of the upper and middle classes in Persia. Shoes are worn, the baggy trouseis are reduced, the chin is shaven—an innovation obnoxious to the orthodox Mabommedans-the cap is not so high, and the whole dress is a mixture of Armenian and European fashions. But chairs are not adopted; they are used only for European visitors, while the natives fold their legs on the cushion or footstool. In religious matters the old fanatici m is less frequently displayeu, and the missionaries enjoy great liberty.
FRANCE.
FRANCE. Marshal MacMahon has had a, conference on the Constitutional Bills with the leaders of the Moderate Sections of the Assembly. It. is expected that this negociation will result in an arrangement for organising the Septennate.
PORTUGAL.
PORTUGAL. The King of Portugal, his Ministers, and a num- ber of Court functionaries have been entertained by Admiral Seymour on board his flagship, the Agincourt. The Channel Squadron has since pro- ceeded westward for artillery practice and steam evolutions. News has arrived from the West Coast of Africa that a vessel from Cuba is hovering about with a view to running a cargo of slaves. Her Majesty's ship Beacon is watching her. THE FAMINE IN ASIA MINOR.—According to the Levant Herald, at a weekly meeting of the committee for tho relief of the sufferers by the famine in Asia Minoj, held in Constantinople on the 15th of December, some painfultietails were read of the condition of the people in the aistressed districts. In one village, which coatained before the famine about 70 families, only 30 are left. Of these ten have no grain and no means of support. Iu another village 45 persons have died of starvation, and half the population are utterly destitute. Few of the people had been able to sow anything this autumn, owing to want of, eeù and cattle. The relief funds are being distributed without regard to creeu or nationality, and it is stated that the proudest Greeks, Armenians, and Turks are so humbled by hunger that they are glad to receive relief from any hands.
ITHE MAYOR AT CHAPEL.
I THE MAYOR AT CHAPEL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,—In Kerr's Students' Blackstone (Edition of 1870), I find in chap iv. page 451, under the heading Nonconformity,"(the following passage, viz.—" Ail persons are now happily left at full liberty to act as their conscience shall direct them in the matter of religious worship. But some prohibitions still exist which scarcely call for comment. Thus, no mayor or principal magistrate can appear at any dissenting meeting with the ensigns of his oihee, on pain of disability to hold that or any other office; and officers of coiporations are forbidden to attend with the insignia of office at any place of worship other than the Established Church under a penalty of £100." Can any of your legal readers deny that the above represents the existing state of the law, or say whe- ther any recent statute has removed the disabilities refered to ? If not, what about the innovation of the 27th ult., when the Mayor and Corporation officials attended chapel in their finery ? Your obedient servant, SCRUTATOR. Dec. 30th, 1874.

SIR,—Will you allow me to avail myself of this opportunity of tendering my very deepest sense of gratitude to those gentlemen in Henllan and the neighbourhood, for the kindness shown by them in assisting me to meet the serious loss which befel me in consequence of the disastrous fire that oc- curred on my farm in September last. I have received the sum of £52 11s 6d from the hands of Mr Edward Vaughan, of Berwin, treasurer, and Mr John H. Roberts, secretary. I would also offer my best thanks to the gentle- men of the committee, the treasurer, and secretary, as well as those gentlemen who so readily consented to receive subscriptions on my behalf.—Yours very truly, WILLIAM JONEU.

AMUSING BREACH OF PROMISE…
AMUSING BREACH OF PROMISE CASF- .us court, te jury On Mondav._jLt +hxe aamages in a breach cf promise case of a somewhat remarkable character. Tne plaintiff Ann Kenny, who was represented by Mr Stananought, of the firm of Yates, Son, and Stananought, of Liverpool, was a strapping Irish girl, about twenty-nine or thirty years of age, with considerable pretensions to good looks and somewhat fashionably attired. Tbedefendant, who had allowed judgment to go by default, was Jonathan Gull, a gunner in the Royal Artillery, and a widower with three children. It appeared that the wife of the defendant in the year 1873 went over on a visit to her mother, at a place called Balloherron, about three miles from Wexford in Ireland. The plaintiff, who was her cousin, lived close by, and they had frequent conversations about the excellent qualities, of the defendant. Mrs Gull, while at Balloherron, was confined, and died in child-bed, and in correspondence on her behalf, the plaintiff had several communications with the defendant in England. Finally a courtship was struck up between them, although neither had fairly geen each other, they having got up an acquaintance with cartes. The defendant ultimately offered marriage, and the plaintiff was induced to give up her business, a small grocery store, and an acre of land, and come to Liverpool to be married. Defendant, how- ever, failed to put in an appearance. After some com- munications had passed, and when he was led to under- stand that an action for breach of promise was pending he wrote from Newhaven, where he was stationed, a long letter to the plaintiff. After epeaking about hid children he went on to say, referring to the pending action. "I would ask.younot to put yourself to any expense for me for I am not worth it. For I swear by the Lord that I will never pay a penny to anyone I never saw, and I don't think I ever shall. I know that if I had been with you, and you got a child by me you could demand threepence per day, but for anything else I don't know. But I will find that out, please God, and again I thank God that as I never was with you I never could have done you any harm, and I hope I shall never do anybody any harm, for I have done myself enough already with- out any more." The plaintiff created considerable amusement by the naive manner in which she admitted that she had never seon her suitor. She was quite satisfied, she said, with his photograph. The defendant, it was admitted, was only in receipt of 2s per day, though it was stated that he had been a very careful man. The Acting Under-Sheriff remarked that it was a great mis- fortune that this action had ever been brought. Here was a soldier with a family, receiving only 2s per day what could they expect him to pay .'—The Jury, after a few moments' hesitation, assessed the damages at and the Under-Sheriff refused to certifiy for costs.

Mrs Curwen was presented with a full-length oil painting of her husband. At the inquest on a young man who drowned himself in the Thames on Christmas-day, a letter written by the deceased was read. It stated amongst other matters that he was in his full senses, so therefore, the coroner and jury need not return a verdict of insanity." The jury, however, declared him temporarily insane. A terrible outbreak of cholera is reported to have taken place among the coolies—over five hundred in number— who were being conveyed in the ship F: rfarshire from Calcutta to Demerara. The engineer and fifty-two of the coolie passengers had died of the scourge, which was followed by an epidemic of measles among the children. On the assembling of Parliament, the First Lord of the Admiralty will ask for the grant of a supplem—>-■: estimate for the financial year 1874, 75, ror.the purpose of providing for the Arctic Expedition, and also viding labour for_ breakinggp dockyards, instead of by wooden, iff pnvate yards. No reply has yet been received from the Secretary of State to the memorials praying for the reprieve of same of the four men sentenced to death at the last assizes, and now lying in Kirkdale gaol. If the utmost penalty of the law has to be carried out, the execution of the criminals will take place on Monday morning next, at eight o'clock but the executiuner has not yet been selected. At Liverpool, on Christmas night, a labourer, named James Johnson, took home a bottle of rum, which he and his wife consumed between them. At four in the morning Johnson demanded some supper, and, because his wife told him there was none in the house, he beat her in a fearful manner with the poker. Although so dreadfully injured, the poor creature endeavoured to shield her husband from blame, stating that he only struck her once. At the Birmingham Police Court, on Tuesday, 274 householders appeared to summonses, charged, under the Improvement Act, 1851, with not clearing the snow from the pavement in front of their premises before eight o'clock in the morning. The persons summoned included a magistrate, two town councillors, the governor of the borough gaol, the master of the workhouse, tht steward and clerk of the lunatic asylum, and private residents. In the majority of the cases a penalty of Is and costs, amounting to 8s 6d, was imposed in others the fine only was inflicted; and in several instances the sum- monses were dismissed. THE ST. IVES ELECTION.—This election passed eff very quietly on Tuesday. There were neither colours nor flags exhibited. At the close of the poll, Sir Francis Lycett declared that he had a majority of 80, while Mr Charles Lyringham Praedgave out his majority as 100. The poll was officially declared as follows :— Praod (Conservative), 617; Lycett (Liberal), 552; majority for Praed, 65. Mr Praed, in thanking the electors for returning him, pledged himself to support the Government, whose policy, he said, tended to main- tain the integrity of the Empire. Sir Francis Lycett charged scores of his supporters with having deserted him. and threatened that mora would be heard of the bribery and intimidation which had been practised on the other side. NARROW ESCAPE OF A PASSENGER TRAIN.—The fast train which leaves Bath for Birmingham at 3.5 p.m., had a narrow escape on Monday afternoon. At ten minutes past four o'clock, while approaching Charfield at full speed, the passengers were alarmed by a crash of timber from that portion of the train immediately behind the engine. There was no perceptible bumping felt in the carriages but a sound, resembling the crackling of a wood fire, and the application of brakes on the engine, sufficiently alarmed the passengers. The train was speedily brought to a stand-still, and, on examina- tion, it was found that an empty horso-box, next the engine had fallen over, and had been dragged on its side for nearly fifty yards. The end of the luggage van next the box was smashed, but no passenger sustained any injury. The box projected angularly across the down line, and it was only after great exertions that it was removed in sufficient time to permit a down train, then almost due, to pass. The accident caused a stop- page of 35 minutes, and the train reached Birmingham an hour and a half late. The upsetting of the horse- box is supposed to have been caused by some obstruc- tion on the line, but this has not been detiaitely ascertained. Had the couplings broken the disaster would have been mush more serious, as several of the carriages, considering the speed at which the train was I t going, would inevitably have been overturned; as at Kirklvagton, aud perhaps with with similar cncuui&twaces.
FEARFUL CALAMITY AT SEA.¡
FEARFUL CALAMITY AT SEA. ¡ LOSS OF 470 LIVES. Intelligence has been received from St. Helena, of the burning of the emigrant ship Cospatrick with tLe Joss of nearly 50) lives. The telegram was received by Messrs. Stiaw, Saviil, aud Co., on Christmas Day; but, owing to the holidays, it remained unopened until Monday morning. It very briefly announced the dreadful catastrophe, itud was als follows: St Helena, December 9-— Coapatrick burnt 19th November; second officer and two seamen picked up by Bntis'. Sceptre 27th, and landed at St. Helena 6th December. It is feared that rest of crew and passengers are lost." The Cospatrick cleared at the Custom tlouse, London, on the 8th of September. She was a teak- built sailing ship, classed A 1 at Lloyd's, built at Moulinein in 1856, and I.ewly coppered this year. Her managing owners were Messrs Shaw, Savill, and Co a iirm largely engaged in the Ne Zealand trade. The owners had contracted with the Colonial Government to carry emigrants to Auck- land, New Zeaiand. The emigrants were taken on board at the Colony's Depot at Blackwal1. Her last voyage out was on the same business, aud she had made a recent passage with Cooleys from Cal- cutta to Demerara. The number of emigrants shipped in September last was 429, the crew were 41 in number, exclu- sive of the master and the surgeon, and there were four steerage passengers—in all, 476 eouls. In addition to provisions for the emigrants, the vessel carried a general car. o of 992 tons weight. Her registered tonnage was 1,200 tons. She went out, the owners say, in light toim. Kefore an emigrant ship leaves this country she has to pass a strict examination under the Passenger Acts, by the Board of Trade, and among the things to be carried is a fire engine in proper working order. Six boats must also be carried by a vessel of the tonnage of tne Cospatrick, and one of them must be a lifeboat and aLother a longboat. The Cospiti-ick did actually carry two lifeboats, and was provided with lifebuoys as required by the Act. She left Gravesend on the 11th of September, and on the 14.h the pilot quitted her off the Start. She would, III the ordinary course, have gone right away to Auckland without putting in. On October 28th s e was spoken." The folioiviag telegram, dated Christmas Day, was received at Lloyd's The Cospatrick, from Londou to Auckland, with passengers, took tire at sea and was totaily destroyed 7th Nov., in lat. 37 S., long. 12 E. second mate and two of crew saved passengers and remainder of crew supposed to be drowned." The Brazilian Submarine Telegraph Company received a telegram, dated December 26, and in the following words :—"Madeira, Dec., 26.-Ship Cospatnck, with 400 emigrants and 41 crew, took fire at noon on Tuesday, November 17, in lat. 37 15 S long. 12 25 W. Only three survivors at present known—namely, second mate and two seamen, who were picked up by the ship British Sceptre, of Liverpool, after being ten days in boat and subsisting on the flesh and blood of others who died while in the boat. Survivors leave here to- day in Nyanza." The Times says" The New Zealand Government appears to take great care of its emigrants, aud it has not before sustained in its ships a disaster accompanied by loss of life, the stranding of the itumt near Otago being without fatal consequences. it has for some time past been spending on emi- gration a great part of the proceeds of a recent loan. It has erected the depot for them at Black- wall. Till the good harvest made emigrants less easy to find, it has been despatching 4,000 or 5,000 persons a month, and it has three ships starting this week. It has sent 167 vessels out in all, and 60,000 persons. ivlore than 100 of the vessels and about 40,000 of the people have gone this year. Emigrant ships are not allowed to proceed to sea if there be on board, as cargo, any gunpowder, vitriol, or lucifer matches. The emigrants are told to give up to the captain their matches and any inflammable goods, but the order is not strictly enforced. Excellent provision is made for their comfort, and in the Cospatrick the poop was entirely devoted to the unmarried girls who were going out. A matron and constables to keep order arc chosen from among the emigrants. The vessel was, so far as regards the risk of the managing owners, uninsured or ratLer they were their own underwriters. But the freight was insured." The National Agricultural Labourers' Union, which has its head-quarters at Leamington, has hastened to say that the ship was not despatched under its auspices. The Lord Mayor has taken immediate steps for organising a Relief Fund in aid of the dependent relatives and families of those who have perished. The Agent-General for New Zealand, Dr. I. E. Fea- tlierston, C.M.G., on Monday received the following telegram from Mr Hayward, Her Majesty's Consul at Madeira:— I- FulCHAL, Dec. 29, 3.15 p.m. Cospatrick destroyed by fire 17th November. Only two boats, with 64 persons, left her. One boat contain- ing five seamen, chief officer, and 25 passengers, has not been heard of. Second ofiieer and two seamen, only survivors from the other boat, have yone home per Nyanza thsir companions died of starvation." The vessel was probably burnt 600 or 700 miles south- east of the C ipe of Good Hope. The men who were saved drifted about that distance to the north. The Cospatrick had been 67 days at sea, when at mid- night on the 17th of November the alarm was given that she was on fire. The flames were at first, as it appears, confined to the fore-part of the vessel. Either h*r sudden shrivelling up of the sail" -■ or Dy the t- a nt- ■command was lost over "went about"—that is, she turned ner head round to the wind, and the wind blew flame and smoke in upon the ship. The boats in the fore-part "f .h", vessel had been set on fire, but there was a rush to the other boats. Oue which was on the davits, hang- ing over the starboard side, was filled till its stern dipped into the sea, and then the boat capsized. The first and the second officer each took charge of one boat, and these boats successfully got off. The boat of the first mate contained, besides himself six seamen and 25 passengers. The other boat was under command of the second officer, and that is said to have contained about the same number of persons. After the burning of the vessel she remained afloat for two days, and the boats remained by her in the hope, perhaps, of obtaining pro- visions. Captain Elmslie, Mrs Ehnslie. their son, and Dr Cadle are described as surviving the fire and then jumping overboard to escape death from the sinking of the vessel. Dr Cadle is said to have taken the captain's son in his arms before jumping overboard, and then it is added that these four persons were all drowned together. The two boats kept together for two days and then parted company in rough weather. Nothing is known of the first mate's boat. Of the other boat we learn that on the 22d they suffered much from thirst, and next day Bentley, a Lancashire labourer, aged 37, who had gone out with his wife and four children, fell overboard and was drowned. The disastrous history of the voyage is a narrative of madness and death, and of life prolonged by the most horrible expedient of shipwrecked men. On the 26th, before daylight, a bark pased close to the boat. She was hailed, but, no answer came. There were now left in the boat five men. The corpses of their companions had been thrown overboard. Two of the men who remained had lost their reason, and the others were faint and drowsy. It rained one day, but they were unable to catch a drop of water. In this state they were found by the British Sceptre. The two who had gone mad died on board. The British Sceptre conveyed them to St. Helena, where they remained three days, and left by the mail steamer Nyanza, as the quickest mode of transit.

DREADFUL COLLI .ELY EXPLOSION.
DREADFUL COLLI .ELY EXPLOSION. SEVENTEEN LIVFS LOST. On Thursday week, about, a score colliers de- scended the Bigiial Hill Old Pit, at Audlev, New- castle-under-Lyine, belonging to Mr Price Wood, to work..The pit has been considered a safe one A to work. It is an old sinking, and had been m worked out to the depth of about 100 yards, fl Lately there has be" a second sinking made, and the shaft was worked down to a depth of about 80 W yards, to the Bath-irst coai. The work of getting coal has been going on satisfactorily since. The pit has bten officially inspected within the last fortnight, and was considered to be in good con- dition. On descending the pit on lhursiay morning, the colliers proceeded to work as usual with naked lights. About half-past eleven o'clock a fearful expio-iou occurred, and sin ke and dirt and, some say, flame blew up the shaft, at once iudicatiug that death and destruction were making havoc below. The alarm which was raised speedily brought help from all directions, and the ill news, which travelled fast through tue locality, caused anxious forebodings. A descent of the pit was made by some explorers as soon as wa, practicable. and before a long time ha-1 expired two dea: col- liers were brought to the surface. The work of exploration much impeded by the after-damp, and it was night before the whole of the dead were got out, for much attention had to be ..iven to restore ventilation. Only two men were found alive; they were seriousiy hurt, and how they e:c tped death seems a miracle. It was found that the list of dead were seventeen. Several horses, which were in close proximity to the office or one of the butties in the pit, were killed, while the butty himself escaped with severe injuries. The inquest was opened on Saturday morning before Mr Booth, corouer for North Staffordshire. Mr Wynne, Governmeut Inspector of Mines, and Air Gilroy, sub-iuspector, were present.—The Coroner briefly spoke of the disastrous nature of the explosion, ana intimated that he proposed to take evidence ot identification of the bodies, and otner evidence which would be sufficient to justify an adjouruieut until a subsequent day, when a full investigation into the circumstances of the calamitous affair would be made. George Fryer, underlooker, stated that 011 the morning of the explosion lie went to work before tne colliers descended, and he found a tittle gas. which he cleared away. He examined the place where the explosion occurred and found a little gas. The nearest working place to that was 18 yards off. Tne seam han bee; worked four or five years, and was considered a safe one for the men to work in. The men were in the habit cf working with naked lights.—Daniel Itiley, butty collier, said that he was engaged at work in another seam of the mine. On tie west side of the eiijht-feet coal there was a little gas, but no men worked there. The men generally worked with naked lights, except when gas was observable, and then they used lamps. The 11 Bathurst" scam was con sidered the safest part of the pit to work. After evidence of identification of the dead bad been taken, the inquest was adj urtied.
