At the Court of Bankruptcy this Veek the case of j . \ E . Buller , solicitor , of Lincoln ' s ^ inn-flelds , was lorought under consideration , and an adjournment was ordered for two months , protection being aflbrded to . the 'bankrupt , who surrendered in the course of the proceedings . His debts and liabilities are extremely heavy ; but , according to his own estimate , the assets will eventually liquidate the . whole of the < 2 alms that can be sustained against him . J ? rom Xeeds we have the account of a most barbarous attempt a *; wife murder . The brutal husband is in custoe | y , and the unfortunate woman icinains in a very precarious state . . . . - in crimi
JLn evening contemporary persists Us - nation of Dr . Smetburst , or rather is determined ¦ that the public should understand that the Home KJffice will hot let him go because ¦ of ^ startling circumstances" that have come to the knowledge of the authorities . This has been contradicted . However , * l ie statenieht is repeated with the assertion that tlie . penalty Of death Vrill be commuted to that of ¦ penal servitude for life . . If so the . public . . . will be anilous to learn for what offence it is that . prisoner is to be deprived of his liberty as long as he lives . It cannot surety be for the offence of murdering Miss Bankes at ! Richmond , seeing that the Jaw would send him to the gallons for that ,

Keeton , scythe , sickle , and hook manufacturer , had been destroyed by gunpowder ; the whole of the : place being a ruin . The only ground for the outrage is thatsince the strike Mr . .

Browne , son of the Earl of Kenmnre , had gone to take their morning bath . Mr . Browne returned for a forgotten towel , and young Head bathed alone , and was immediately perceived by the voyageurs , who were on a hill close by , to struggle oh his back in the water . They rushed in alarm to the spot , but ± he unfortunate young man had disappeared . Auguste Bellemare , one of the voyageurs , dashed into the water , and dived sixteen , feet deep , but without success . Iiouis Decoteau , another voyageur , also dived , but with the saole result . Boats and canoes were brought , a pole was planted , and Bellemare , who had since taken Off his clothes , descended to the bottom by the aid of the pole . On reaching the bed of the
river , he had to walk on the bottom for some seconds before he succeeded in finding the body . When found , he took it under one arm , and with' the other climbed to the surface , bringing the body with him . These acts of daring courage were performed within one hundred feet of the Falls of La Grande Mere , and in a place where the least false step would have led themrover . jtheXiUis ,. 'flue , body was but twelve minutes in the water , and although every appjiance and effort were . used to revive it , from eight o ' clock till twelve , it w-as without auccess . The poor lad was buried at Quebec pn the 30 th ult ., and the funeral was attended with great demonstrations of public sympathy . ;
During the trial trip of the Great Eastern an aecident occurred to one of the engine-fitters to the paddles , named MeGrogan . He was in the act of oiling the steam trunnion of one of the cylinders , when his arm was caught between tlie cylinder and the quadrant , and crushed to pieces at the wrist . The instant the fractured limb was released MeGrogan recovered his composure and walked coolly to the surgery ; he declined to submit to amputation , though the wrist was only held on by a comparatively small portion of the muscles . There is now a fair chance of saving the hand , though it can never be of the slightest use to the poor fellow .
The ship Quebec , of New Orleans , from Bordeaux , for Shields , ran on the Eddyatone Rocks on Tuesday afternoon . Her jibboom end was within 10 feet of the south-west kitchen window of the ; lighthousethe window beinpr 70 feet liigh . At half-past nine , owing to a fresh breeze from the eastward and the falling of the tide , the ship slipped off again , and the crew returned , and , witlr'the help of the pilot bont Heroine , attentpted to beacii her on tlie Cornish coast , but the sand ballast choked tlie pumps , and she sank one mile S . S . W . of the Preventive Station , where she will be covered at high water . While on the rotJks , 'b 6 ats , offering- assistance , came from her Mwjesty ' s screw steam frigate Topaze , 51 , Captain the Horr . W . S . Spencer , which had just left the Sound for Vancouver ' s Island .

The Queen and Prince Consort left on Friday morning at ten for I ^ och Katrine , to open the Glascow waterworks : ^ The Prisce op Walks . —On the unimpeachable authority of the Court Journal we can announce that tlie Prince was expected yesterday at Buckingham palace from Scotland , and goes to Oxford early in next week to pursue his studies at the University . ' . ' . ¦ ¦ - ' '•' . ¦ ¦;' . ¦ - ¦ . . ¦ ¦ .. ; PuBr , icHEAt ; Tir .- ^ -The deaths last week were nearly 100 below the average rate . The mortality froia diarrhoea declined to 34 , but there were 95 fatal cases of scarlatina and 11 of diphtheria ; 22 children and &
adults died from small-pox .: The total of deaths was 996 , and of births 1 , 757 . The mortality returns for the week for the City are above the average of the last four years ; the number of'deaths having been 58 . The stnall-pox is also said to be very prevalent in London , so much so , indeed , that the parishes are called iipon to take energetic measures in preventing the spread of the disease . In Marylebone the officials have already determined to adopt the precaution of having ' additional a " eparatehospitals . The Small-pps' Hospital ife so full that another patient cannot be received ^ and such an occurrence has not taken place for years .
The Loss 01 ? tiiE Alha . —The official inquiry respecting the loss- of the Peninsular and Oriental steam ship Altna in the Red Sea has been proceeded with at Greenwich . Sir'John Bowring , who was a passenger onboard iit the time of the wreck , gave it as his opinion tliat from the clearness of the night tne reef on wliith the vefeset struck ought to have been descried ' at a di «( tance of at least 200 yards . Oj ^ osed to' Sir John ' s evidence , hewever , was that of Mr ; Gisborhe , C 3-, also 1 a passenger , "who thought " the . reef could not have been risible at that distance . A' re-examinatioh of the officers of tlie Alma was al < fa made . The evidence goes far to . inculpate those who had the direction of the ship , who sire guilty , in the riJSiftion of many of the passengers , of wrdss negligence .
TiiE Forbes MACkEyziE Act .-t-TIic Daily Scotsman sketches iri a lively and graphic way a wet week in the Highlands . The sun at Idst breaks out , and the assembled tourists joyouslyanticipate apic-nic on the top of Ben-Mak'k-Dhuie . " But all these brilliant expectations are suddenly extinguished . Up starts a spectre which , like the skeleton Of old , presides over t : s onfbstiveoet'rtslo !! . ' -- ' —upstarts l <\ nbes M-ii / 'ke ' nzie ! The landlord can ' t let dny hamper go to the hill , that ' s clear . It is in his certificate that he 'do not sell groceries or other provisions in the saitl house Or premises to be consuhiy { i- elsewhere . ' It dawns
upon him by degrees ; that tea and sugar are ' groceries ; ' that grouse , b ] ackcock , ham , pohed veal , collared tro \ it , Stilton cheese , gooseberries , and apricots might not ' unfitly be counted within the category of ' other provisions . ; ' and that the top of Ben-Muick-Dhuie is' * elsewhere' than the said house or premises so fjiitifliaf ^ Trim . What is to be done ? Nothing . It is ? illegal to remove from that house an ounce of brea ( Tor a wine' biscuit ; and it is unanimously agreed tliat not in restless France nor despotic Austria , nor . eveh in iroh-riiled Russia , are we to find the most ^ tejfkisterous and vexatious restraints oh social freedom— -we must ' come home to find the
