On dit that Mrs. Forbes Yelverton (Maj >r YuIvert.1 ill's second wife) is abaut t,) commence an action for a judi- cial separation. A youth has been killed in London, by the acci- dental discharge of an old gun, with which h. was playing- Portions of four skeletons of the extinct tnsu elk nave within the last few days been exhumed in the immediate neighbourhood of Ban bridge. A young man named Thompson, a fisherman, was ac- cidentally shot by his father, at Silverdale, near Lan- caster, last week. There have been serious disturbances in Jersey in consequence of a Mr. Owens, from London, having delivered lectures, in which he assailed the Roman Ca- tholics. On the evening of August 8, a collision occurred,be- tween the 5 o'clock train from Washington aud a train from Baltimore, by which 30 persons are reported killed and wounded. A notorious brigand, known by the name of Formet- ta, was recently shot in Italy by a hand of soldiers sent to capture him. His wife consoled herself with the belief that her husband bad gone to heaven to rece-ive a martyr's reward. During the rejoicings at the French Imperia] fete last week, one of the principal ifreworks ignited at a moment when least expected, and taking a lateral direction, it killed one woman and very seriously injured three other persons. The estimated deliveries of tea in London during the week which ended on Angnst 22nd were 88'2,803 which is a decrease of 107,-109 lbs. 0mpired with the ¡ statement for the previous week. The Pli,tp-e (te Itz hire, confi leutlv announces that the Count d'Ku, eldest "on of the Duke <lo -Vemours, will shortly proceed to Brazil to marry the daughter of the Emperor Don Po-lro. As his Majesty has no male heir his son-in-law will one day be eall"d upon to wear the imperial erown. The (ault ot Inlanders h id also been spoken of as the bridegroom of the princess. A corresp indent of the inu's, whn has visited the grave of Wordsworth, in the churchyard at Urasineiv, complains that the resting place of the poet and his re- latives is, from the absence of a. protecting rail, conti- nually being desecrated by tourists, who. ill their eager- ness to read the inscription, hive trodden down anJ entirely destroy" ed the grassy mounds over the graves. On Monday evening, Mr. Horace Clark, residing in Prince's-rood, Kensington, gave a party on the occasion of the mtrriage of his daughter, and about eight o'clock, Mrs. Clark was waltzing with a mala relative, when she was observed to laugh in a hysterical manner, and make for an ante-room, the entrance to which she had just gained, when she fell lifeless into the arms of her sister. Her death ia attributed to disease of the heart. A London park-keeper has given a lesson to the Home Secretary in getting good out of evil, or turning the culprit's labour to acconnt. It appears that much amusement is caused in Kensington by the fact of the keeper, when he catches any one in the act of petty theft, offering him the choice of drawing the garden roller or to be taken into custody. The culprit always chooses the roller, and, as he is frightfully jeered at by small boys, never commits a second offence. A PnOTOOBAPaic CURIOSITY.-A. New York photo- grapher hM published a portrait of President Lincoln which is likely to prove acceptable to ;ill parties. At first glance it appears to be a photograph of Old Abe," taken when he had the smallpox a few months ago but on closer inspection the seeming pustules are found to be minute photographic likenesses of distinguished generals, statesmen, politicians, literary men, actors, actresses, &c. The likenesses, which are scattered all over the physiognomy of Old Abe. number 400 and up- wards, and compsise men of all parties and professions, and are so exceedingly well executed as to be at once re- cognised. Though there are many good-looking men and women among the likenesses, yet taken altogether they constitute as ugly a picture of Old Abe as any of the others that have been published. Tap. Bishop OF OXFORD on Inspiration.—The fol- lowing letter has been addressed by the Bishop of Oxford to a clergyman of his lordship's diocese, in reference to the late clerical conference at Oxford :— August 17 th, 1864. Many thanks for your very kind letter. I had not seen either of the newspaper extracts you sent me, but if I had I should not have answered them. It is a hope- less endeavour to set oneself right by answering any- thing: and if you reply to one you must to all. I, therefore, leave matters to right themselves. It is quite a different matter leplying to you, and I do it with the greatest pleasure. I said nothing of the sort attributed to me in these extracts. Perhaps the subject was too abstruse to bo treated so briefly, and has led to misap- prehension. In brief, ray belief is tliii :-The whole Bible came to us "the Word of God," under the sanction of God the Holy Ghost. We cannot pick and choose amidst its contents. All is God's word to us. But as I believe that this, which I hold as the only orthodox view, is encompassed with many difficulties by what is called the theory of "verbal inspiration," I desired to show how, in my judgment, a careful scrutiny of the Bible which revealed the "divers manners" in which the Holy Ghost speaks—1. Sometimes by the mere mechan- ical use of the human agent who conveyed the message as (1) God wrote words on the first tables, or (2) dictated them for the second, or (3) committed them to prophets simply to repeat, or (4) spoke through the prophets. 2. Sometimes, by possessing the human instrument with a complete knowledge of that he has t) speak, and leaving him to express it under the mere suggestions and guardianship of His own special presence according to the natural use of human faculties -I desired, I say, to show how this would greatly lessen these difficulties, and enable men to realise the essential difference be- tween the Holy Scriptures, and any otter book, namely, that as all truth comes from God, other books may be in a sense said to be inspired because they are true, but, Holy Scripture alone can be affirmed to be true because it is inspired. You are quite free to make any use of this you see fit.-I am ever, yours most truly, S. OXON. Story or a Modern ORSON. -1,11ICh -exciteiuent has prevailed in Swaledale, Arkendale, the borders of West- moreland, as well as Barnard Castle and Richmond, by the proceedings of a man who lived in the woods and on the moors. He was of middle height, and though of slender build, he possessed considerable muscular power, as was evinced by his surprising activity. His clothes consisted of a fragment of an old dressing gown, reach- ing from his waist to his knees, fastened round him with a cord, and a few rags clinging to his shoulders. His feet and legs were covered with dry black mud, His hair and beard were long and matted, saving which there was nothing ferocious in his aspect, his features being naturally mild, and not unprepossessing. Occa- sionally be had approached farmhouses; and, at Scargill and other places, kiud-hearted people had given him food, which he had eaten with avidity, but he had re- fused to accept the clothes offered him. He ran with wonderful speed, somestimcs leaping into the air, and glancing behind him at nearly every step. He seemed to have no fixed route, but diverged on each on each side of the way as he rapidly traversed the ground. It is thought that he must in some degree have subsisted upon such game or vermin as he could catch; and he has been observed eating the garbage lying in the viciiii- ty of farmhouses. He was perfectly inoffensive; but his singular appearance, ,&ad his mode of running and screaming, had terrified many women and children.. It is related also that a man living at a farm near Barnard Castle had risen early to go to the coalpits, but had been so frightened by the sudden appearance of the wild man" that he hastily unyoked the horses, hurried back to the house, and barricaded the doors and windows. There is no doubt that the "wild man" is a harmless lunatic who has escaped from confinement. The police have be on the look-out for several weeks, but had failed to capture him until the present week, when the police stationed at Greta Bridge succeeded, after an exciting chase, in eecuring him. He stands remanded for 14 days to Northallerton gaol, in order that inquiries might be made conoeruing hi=- York#Aire OiuttU. r" 'Y; 10'
