Escape from Jeddah . — A Gentian lady and her brother , who were present in Jeddah at the time of the massacre , escaped safely to Aden , whence they arrived at Bombay on the 22 nd of July , having obtained a free passage on board the Success , in charge of twenty-four negro slaves ^ -boys and girls . This lady was robbed at Jeddah of all her property and valuables . The lady and her brother were at the Fort police-office ,. Bombay , on the 22 nd of July , with , the twenty-four slaves , who were lodged in the chowky , until some provision could be made for them .
A Veist of COAL on Fikk . —A serious accident occurred on Monday in the Evail Fach coal pit ,, at Tindu , Glamorganshire . Early in the morning some passers-by observed a volume of smoke proceeding from the air shaft , and the mineral agent was immediately apprised of the circumstance . He descended , and discovered that a vein of coal had caught fire , it is conjectured , from a spark emitted from the engine used underground . With as little delay as possible steps were taken for the safety of the men employed , and in less than an hour the whole of them were brought out , no one , fortunately , having sustained the slightest injury . The watercourse was then turned into the pit , and will continue to run till the fire is quite exttngashed . The pit will of course be stopped for some time . « md the damage done will be considerable . Wandsworth urt
Singular Bigamy . —At police-co John Curie , who was charged last week with bigamy , for having married Susan Grace Sparks , his first wife Sarah being still alive , surrendered to his bail . His defence was that the first marriage was never consummated , as he and the woman he had married parted at the church door and never cohabited at all . Proof was given of both marriages , the first with Sarah Wheeler and the second with Susan Grace Sparks , and the magistrate , saying that the fact of the non-consumination did not affect the marriage contract , committed the prisoner for trial . Sarah Wheeler , otherwise Curio , was then placed at the bar charged with intermarrying illegally with Charles Thomas Farmer , she being a married woman , and her offence being clearly established , she was also fully committed . Bail was taken for Curie , but Wheeler was locked up .
young man , the medical officer of the French Consulate there , unknown to the ' officers of the Lazaretto , had contact with a patient in that establishment supposed to be attacked with plague , the servant of a M . Nani , of Bengasi , and afterwards freely communicated with many parties in the town , and thereby compromised the public health , rendering necessary the issue of a touched or doubtful bill of health . This circumstance had sp worked upon the mind of tho director of the quarantine , a European , who had held the appointment for many years , and grown in-lirm in the service , that he attempted to destroy himself by firing a pistol at his head ; but , froni the arm having been loaded some time , the desired intent was not immediately accomplished , though sufficient injury was caused to render it very doubtful whether his life will be spared . "
The Better Class of Paris Artizans . —When you enter the often pretty spacious inhabitations of certain classes of Paris artizans , you are frequently astonished by the refinement and elegance of their arrangements , which reproduce , in a peculiarly pleasing manner , the luxury of the middle classes blended with a certain patriarchal element . There are not a few families of this kind who possess pieces of furniture which have not yet penetrated into the abodes of the working classes in Germany . A family of the working class in tolerable employment is seldom without a large peudulum clock , several looking glasses , some tasteful vases on the chimney piece ; and on the walls copper engravings , even though the latter may only have been obtained as premiums for subscribing to illustrated serials .
The centre of all this splendour is usually the sleeping apartment of the married pair , in which the chief fu rniture is displayed , and this special luxury of the ar isan family developed . The bedsteads are of walnut wood , and . supplied with sheets and curtains of dazzling ! y white linen . A chest of drawers , a desk , a sideboard with glass doors , all of walnut wood , an elegantsornamented round table standing in the middle of the room , complete the comfort of the thoroughly clean and respectable menage . The windows , too , are tastefully hung with curtains . Nor are there wanting the adjunct of a little library , in which you remark books of entertainment and education ; and frequently an illustrated History of France , recently published in numbers . —' Her ' r Mundt . .
-: Gurkax ' s Sox . —Mr . W . II . Curran , late one of the Commissioners of the Insolvent Court , died on Tuesday at . his residence , in Dublin . He was son of the late celebrated John Philpot Curran , Master of the Rolls . The Dean of Rochester . —We ( Sussex Express ) are sorry to hear that the Very Rev . the Dean of Rochester , who is at his vicarage of West Farleigh , is indisposed . The venerable head of bur cathedral chapter is in his eighty-second year , we believe , but has generally preached in his church on Sunday afternoons .
Submarine Telegraph for the Colonies . —A sub marine telegraph cable of about 300 miles is in course of manufacture at Mr . Henley ' s works , to connect the colony of Victoria with Tasmania . Extraordinary Season .- —Diminishing Rainfall . -r-The year 1858 will be noted as a season of great drought in many places , but especially so on the northeast coast . At Berwick-apon-Tweed there has not been an available shower of rain from August , 1857 , to August 1858 , and numerous springs are dry which the boldest inhabitant" cannot remember before to have
failed . Th 6 local waterworks have , as a consequence , run short ot water ; the waterworks at many other places have also partially failed , as at Bolton , at Liver ^ pool ( the Pike ) , and at Manchester . At Washington , near Durham , the actual recorded fall of rain for nine months ( November , 1857 , to July , 1858 ) , has been 8 . 86 , bra little more than eight and three-quarter inches , in the nine months . It has been noticed for the last fifteen months that the seasons are modified , and the fall of rain is diminishing . Will cultivation and land-drainage account for the change ?— The Builder .
Good News for Metropolitan Anglers . —The efforts of the conservators of the River Thames to preserve the fishery within their jurisdiction have this season been attended with considerable success . It may not be generally known that the part of the river between Staines and Putney is carefully watched by the river keepers of the conservators and of the Thames Angling Preservation Society , whose officers hold deputations under the conservators . Her Majesty and the Atlantic Telegraph . —It is with much pleasure that we arc able to state that an intimation of her Majesty ' s intention to confer the honour of knighthood upon Mr . Bright and Captain Preedy has reached us . This permanent testimonial of her Majesty ' s intelligent interest in the late gigantic undertaking will very fitly commemorato its success , and will be gladly approved by the country . — Mechanics' Magazine .
Something Njbw . — "A Bachelor" calls attontion to tho following notico which has boon published : — "On the 24 th iust ., at St . Paul's , Lorrimore-square , Nowington-butta , by the Rev . T . Mitchell , incumbont of tho church , assisted by tho Rev , J . Going , M . A ., with choral service , Paul , eldest son of Paul Jorrard , publisher , of 170 , Fleet-street , to Harriet Alban , youngest daughter of Thos . Dinn , Esq . " Ho then asks ; " Can you inform tho public what is tho peculiar and beneficial effect of being married ' with choral service ; ' who sings it , tho brido or tho bridegroom , or tho bridesmaids , or tho incumbent , or his assistant , or tho clerks , or tho friends of the two families ; how much it costs , and whether tho clergyman who has invented this novel process has taken out a patent for it ?"
A Nkst oit Swakks . —One day last week one of tho kitchon gardeners at Dnngstoln House , Rogato , was moving a heap of rubbish , and found in it nearly 200 snakes . — - West Snetex Qazetta . Anomaly ov thh Criminal Law . —A man named Oa 1 lBndttTnv as on '> ^ Pb « rsday « JonV'iotetl- « o 6--fln-flbflaulb-a (» an Irish wake upon a person named M'Dormot , in Manohostor ; but as tho complainant was not able to pay tho foes for tho prisoner ' s committal , tho quso was postponed until to-day . If M'Dormot can raise tho money , 0 « llendar will go to * gaol j but if nob , tho offender will osoapo punishment . Such a state of things is worthy of attontion by law reformers . Its absurdity and impropriety are too obvious to need remark . A sdnsitivib OiWicxAL . -- " A letter from Alexandria of tho Oth , " says tho Malta Tims , " mentions that a
The French Law of Bankruptcy . —A rabbitskin merchant , named Michel Liandier , was sentenced on Mondayj at the assize court of the Seine , to eight years' imprisonment as a fraudulent bankrupt . This man , although he could neither read nor write , carried on business on a very large scale , and in one year turned over as much as 160 , 000 £ . Having many branch estas blishinents in the provinces , his correspondence was very voluminous , but he carried it all on through an Scrivain public , a man who sits in a little hut scarcely
big enough to hold two people , and whose ordinary occupation consists in writing servant-girls' love-letters . This man not only wrote Liandier ' s letters , but posted up his books at his dictation . For some years Liandier ¦ was prosperous , but when the crisis of 1857 came he bought rabbit-skins at high prices on credit , and sold them at once at low prices for cash , and showed as much skill in dictating false entries as if he had been able to write them himself . His manoeuvres were , however , detected—not without difficulty—by an accountant .
The Alleged Mutila . ticwss . —In reply to an official letter from Mr . Cecil Beadon , Secretary to the Government of Indian Mr . J . W . Sherer , magistrate of Cawn-r pore , writes : — " Although I accompanied General Havelock ' s force to this place , and have remained here ever since , I have never heard a story I considered credible , of mutilation , torture or dishonour ; I would also state that , there were no dead bodies lying about in the enclosures of the house , nor in the house itself where the ladies were massacred , that there was no writing of any kind on the walls of the building , which were carefully examined , and that the only paper found throwing light on the miserable events that occurred between the 27 th 15 th of
of June ^ nd July , were a Hindoo list of the prisoners , a medical memorandum apparently written by a native doctor , and a brief diary in outline , believed to have been kept by a member of the Liudsay family . " Very Cool . —Mr . Argent , writing to the Daily News , says : —" Will it be believed by the world that we , the unfortunate shareholders of the Royal British Bank , after being ruined and hunted out of the country , and now trying to forget the past , and endeavouring by reV newed exertions to recover our positions , should be most unfeelingly reminded of our misfortunes by a request to sign a petition for the release of Esdaile ?"
Foreign-office Passpqbis . — -Since the 25 th of June , the date of the establishment of ) he agency of the Foreign-office at this , port , to the end of the month of August , Mr . Edward Glynn , the agent at Newcastle , has Issued 102 passports to British subjects intending to travel in foreign countries . The extent of the convenience to the public—who were formerly obliged to apply in London- —must be very great . — -Newcastle Chronicle . General Steam ; Navigation Company . — The sixty-seventh half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on Tuesday at their offices , 71 , Lombard-street ; John Wilkin , Esq ., in the chair . The report of the directors , and a statement of tho accounts for the half-year ending the 30 th June last , were read to the meeting , and unanimously adopted , The usual dividend , at the rate of 10 per cent , per annum ,
was declared , and the cordial thanks of the proprietors voted to the chairman and , directors for their continued zealous services in the management of the company's affairs , after which the meeting separated . , COLEFpRp , . MpHJHpUJJH , TJSJC , AND PONTYPOOL RAILWAY . —rTho report states that since the company have worked the line , the weekly returns of traffic have been as favourable as could be expected ; and the passenger traffic to Monmouth already exceeds tho estimate g \ ibmitted to Parliament for tho whole line to Coleford , The directors are still most anxious to cross the river Wye , so as to carry out their expressed intention of reaching the minerals of the forest of Dean ; and arrangements are about being made to enable them to do so , It is not proposed to declare a dividend at the half-yearly meeting .
of harvest ) to be completed unaer tuo maatTavourttblS circumstances . In this district tho harvest may practically be said to be finished ; there may be a little corn still " out" here and there , but , as a rule , our harvest is over , and it has certainly been got up most satisfactorily And in flrst-rate condition . The wheat crop is a good average in quantity ; and although , there is some unovenness in quality , yet on the whole it is in this respect quite as good , if not bettor , than in the average of seasons , there having boon no drawback from wet during tho process of horvojstinfi .
