painful case of destitution has been recently brought before the notice of the public through the columns of tie Times , now "writes to that journal to acknowledge the kindness of " the laity of our good Church . " -who hare succoured him in Jus affliction . He adds , that " his bishop did not help him , and his vicar would-not , " and he thus concludes : — - " I am sorry that any discrepancy should have occurred with regard to my stipend . It was 801 , and I fear that , in the lurry of Tmting , ray 8 was mistaken for a 6 . As I am informed that people dispute the description of the vicarage 1 hare had to live in , I beg distinctly to state that it is excessively damp , arising from its contiguity to the churchyard , andits'being so choked up by trees . Of the furniture I -will only say that it is most miserable . Of the vicar I vill say nothing , for I remember that it is ¦ written , ' Speak not evil of dignities . ' "
Thb Land Transport Corps . —A meeting- of members of the land Transport Corps was held oa Monday evening at the Rose and Crown , Crown-street , Westminster , to complain of their summary dismissal without remuneration , and of the violation by Go-vernment of the understanding upon which they had been enlisted , ^ solutions in favour of the objects of the meeting were agreed to .- — 'Another meeting was held on the following iight , at the King's Arms Tavern , Surrey-row , Blackfriars-road . Gloucester Cathedkai ,. —The nave of this cathedral has been restored by the removal of the coats of whitewash which concealed the coloured stone and marble pillars supporting the roof . These operations have been conducted under the direction of Mr . Frederick S . Waller , F . R . S ., B . A ., of Gloucester , architect to the cathedral . . :
The late Fall of a House usr the Crrr . —A motion by Mr . Abraham , " that it be referred to the General Purposes Committee to inquire into the cause of the falling ^ of the house in Little Swan-alley , and into the working of the present system of house inspection , with especial reference to dangerous structures , and also whether it is necessary to make any and what alteration of system , and . to report thereon to this commission , ' has been unanimously carried in . the City Commission of Sewers . Manchester Mechanics' Institution EamurriON . - —The Art and Industrial'Exhibition with which it was intended to inaugurate the new Mechanics'Institution at Manchester , was opened on Tuesday . Owing to the recent death of his brother , Lord Palmerston was unable
to fulfil his promise of presiding ; and the opening speech , was therefore delivered by Mr . Oliver Hey wood , president of th « institution , -who said that the exhibition they then opened was the fifth which had been -undertaken , and successfully carried out by the directors of the institution . Their fame had long gone byy eclipsed by the grander conceptions of later times , yet Manchester might recollect with pride that she was the first to set the example of these industrial exhibitions , and that the announcement which the directors were able to make at the conclusion of the first—now twenty years ago—that , although , after having been visited by upwards of 60 , 000
people , it had closed without wilful injury to any single article exhibited—led to the opening of the museum ^ and other institutions in Manchester , and was the circumstance upon which Mr . Hume , in the House of Commons , founded his motion for the opening of the British Museum . After expressing a wish , that this exhibition , though on a humbler scale , might supply a want to the working classes which they could not attain through the greater and nobler efforts at London , Paris , and Dublin , the president concluded by announcing that the Exhibition was open , and that tho company were at liberty to pass at pleasure through its various departments . The opening ceremony concluded with a concert .
A Ho . ax . —A Mr . Wyndhamhas victimized an hotel , keeper at Birmingham , and hoaxed tho mayor , Mr . Scholefield , M . P ., and others , by pretending to be tho agent of the Queen of Oude , who , he asserted , was about to visit the town .

Tom Thumb . —General Tom Thumb is married , and in a Cincinnati Court the other day he stated his ago to be . nineteen . The Gloucester Musical Festival has been held during tho last week . Desertion op a Wipe . —George Grey , the man wlio was lately suspected of the murder of Solomons at Hampton , was brought before Mr . Combo , hy tho parish authorities of St . George's , Southwark , charged with deserting hia wife and five children , who had become chargeablo to tho parish . Ho -was remanded .

Being pushed away , ho struck Mrs ; Smith violently in tho face , but without drawing blood . Tho policeman was appealed to , but refused to interfere , further than taking the scoundrel ' s name and address ; and Mr . Bead on , the magistrate , now upheld him in that refusal . Fo-Iicomen , ho observed , have a discretionary power ; they aro only to approhond a person in tho case of an aggravated assault , and this was not an aggravated assault . Tho complaint was therefore dismissed . "We confess wo are at a losa to understand tho law . Where doca an aggravated assault begin ?
The Suspicious Death at Bethnal-green was further investigated on Thursday . Philip Darwin , farrier , was found dead with his throat cut , in Smith ' splace , Charles-street , Hackney-road ; and it appeared from the evidence that his wife had run away with another man , and that this desertion preyed greatly on his mind .

Alleged Manslaughter . by an Accoucheur . —• A Mr .

Blows were then struck , the wife was knocked down , and finally death ensued . Tie man , who was only twenty-three years old ( -which was about the wife ' s age ) , is said to have been a very kind husband up t * the time of the fatal occurrence .
Mr . Baxter at Montrose . —Mr . Baxter addressed bis constituents of Montrose on Tuesday in a very discursive speech . He alluded to the slovenly way in ¦ which business is transacted in the House of Commons , ¦ where , from mere vanity and the desire to see their remarks reported next morning in the papers , many members will intrude on the time of the House without any claims on its attention . He also condemned the xemissness exhibited in drawing up bills ; disapproved of the Horse Guards ; lamented that our officers . are not equal to our common soldiers ; expressed his belief that
the warlike resources of Russia are exhausted ; affirmed that pur consular system needs reformation 5 and concluded by denouncing the various Italian tyrannies , and by suggesting that we ought to send a fleet to Naples and set the , prisoners free .

The Pea.Ce Oe Europe. At All Times The "...
THE PEA . CE OE EUROPE . At all times the "best security of peace consists , of course , in , the general indisposition of statesmen and nations to war . Nations and statesmen at present have many quarrels , which the statesmen ^ at least , desire to settle upon the old basis of diplomacy . But there is little confidence anywhere . As , from thd Russian war , some dupes of their own desires anticipated a political doomsday , that should bring rulers to judgment , so , from the Paris Conferences , other easy optimists looked for . a universal assimilation of interests between
Powers , courts , and peoples . But the waor , which barely determined the relations of Russia with Turkey , and of Turkey with the rest of Europe , was concluded by a peace which only added to former complications In the " West . The attempt to convert the Conference into a Congress was not more successful than the convulsive outcry l )' y which it was sought to represent the Russian war as a war of revolution . Scarcely had the plenipotentiaries sealed their engagements of eternal peace and amity , than the several governments began to draw off to their several speculations .
An alarm of war was first heard- in England from the other side of the world- But su « h a war was all but a natural impossibility . Something like instinct convinced the nation that , "whatever remained to be done by British fleets and armies , the fleets were not manned , or the armies equipped , to carry out a meaningless quarrel with America . The danger passed , and the public mind was once more turned to Europe , where , because the old principles of monarchy and feudalism are
at work , the old monarchical and feudal conflicts are possible . Nevertheless , we are to reduce—some say only to winnow— -our military forces ; but if this step be adopted with any reference to the tranquil aspects of the Continent , it seems to us the result of a misconception . Even in our direct relations with the heavy-armed Powers , there are probabilities of a breach of the eternal amity . We Jhavo several causes of misunderstanding with Franco : —our last naval movement in
tho Black Sea excited , dissent aind jealousy ; we are not at one with Louis Na . polboh on the affairs of Italy ; wo have absolute suspicions of his policy with reijpect to Spain ; we cannot join in his implied assent to the German conspiracy which has failed , for a time , in . tho Swiss Cantons . At any moment , also , wo may be brought into serious antagonism with the European Governments on tho subject of the Danish and Greek successions . Bot , allowing these to be remote contingencies , there axe somo sources of immediate apprehension .
