On Monday afternoon lust , a boy fell into the river , ween the Westminster pier and the bridge , and was drowning , when a young man stripped off his coat , pushed into the water and rescued him , bringing him to shore amid the applause of the spectators . The gallant fellow ' s name was not ascertained . The train which leaves the Euston Square Station at half-past six o ' clock , called , the newspaper train , met with an accident , on Monday morning , near the Harrow Station , the engine having run off the metals , dragging the carriages across the line and effectually blocking the traffic . Happily the passengers sustained no injury 5 but considerable inconvenience was incurred by the delay ¦ , the trains which-were due in London at half-past eight , nine , and ten o ' clock , not being able to proceed imtil eleven o ' clock , when the line was cleared for the transit .
known fact that he was offered large sums of money to he never would consent to do so , and was never thrown in his life . Latterly it has been discovered that the veteran champion was reduced to great poverty * and was on the verge of the Union Workhouse . Mr . Langdon , of the Bull Inn , Exeter , commenced a subscription on his behalf , and in . answer to his appeal a large number of noblemen and gentlemen have liberally subscribed ; among them being Lord Poltimore , Sir T . D . Acland , Sir M . Lopes . M . P ., Mr . Kekewich , M . P ., Mr Divett , M . P ., Mr . Gard , M . P ., and Mr . Sillifant . When sufficient money has been raised it is proposed to purchase an annuity for the old man , so as to place him in comfortable circumstauces for the remainder of his days . On Friday , June 1 st , the foundation-stone of the Royal Dramatic College , at Mavbury , near Woking , was laid by his lioyal Highness the Prince . Consort . The occasion was most interesting and joyous to the distinguished party assembled to celebrate it .
Mr . D . Thomas , B . xY ., of Jesus College , Oxford , and Mr .. Albert Venn Dicey , B . A ., of Baliol College , were on June 4 th elected Fellows of Trinity College . Mr . Platt , from Tunbridge School , was at the same time elected Scholar of the College . The subject appointed for the English Sacred Poem in 1801 , is "St . John at Patmos . " The Emperor of the French has appointed Dr . Kruetzer Eassaerts permanent special French Consul at Manchester , being the first appointment of the kind in that city . It has been made in consequence of the Emperor ' s desire to carry out the new treaty in concert with the merchants there . The Consul is the author of several works on commercial subjects in France .
. In consequence of the late tempestuous weather having much retarded the completion of the upper-deck fittings and rigging of the Great Eastern , her departure for New York has been postponed . The start now is not likely to take place before the 20 th irist ., though it will certainly not be delayed beyond the 23 rd , as longer detention would again lose the high tides over the bar at New York . " The delay is , perhaps , on the whole not so unfortunate as it-appears , inasmuch as we believe that advantage will be taken of it prior to starting to give a brief , though most thorough , trial of the engines by a run down Channel and back to Southampton .
June 7 th . The Deputation of Coal Miners has returned to town this week after paying a visit toeacli of tlfe ' mining districts , to ascertain the feelings of employers and men respecting the eight . hour ' s ' movement . The men think eight hours quite ^ enough , the _ employers say it is W £ enough . There are in most mining . districts only one set of boys to two sets of men ; the one set of boys remaining below in the mines from six in the morning to seven and eight at night , attending on two sets of men , so that the labour is double to boys that it is to men . - ———
-On Monday last the annual election of the mastei > deputy master , amel wardens , took place at the Court-room of the Trinity House . Corporation , Tower-hill . His Royal Highness the Prince Consort seas re-elected master for the eighth time , and Rear-Admiral . Gordon was chosen deputy-master . "One morning last week the" officials of Cardigan Gaol had a frightful encounter with two desperate burglars , named John Stuart and Henry Williams , attempting to escape . Under the name of Jack Grant , Williams fought Tom Sayers , who in the 64 th round vanquished him .
The friends and admirers of the Rev . C . H . Spurgeoumet atNew Park-street Chapel on Monday evening last , to take leave of him for a short time , as he is going to have a tour through Switzerland , _ and : will be absent from his congregation about two months . It is the intention of the building committee to get the new Tabernacle so far advanced towards completion as to hold a monster meeting in it on Mr . Spurgeon ' s return . . "¦ . A Glasgow correspondent of the Express writes : — " The committee forwarded , on Wednesday , the handsome sum of £ 300 , being the second remittance from Glasgow . This sum comprises remittances from Lanark , Ayr , Dundee , and other towns , also the first
instalment of the 'Volunteer Shilling Subscription for Garibaldi , per Ensign Mactear , of the Southern Corps ; and £ 85-from the Working Men ' s Committee , per their treasurer , Mr . James Smith , . sen ., which includes £ 20 from Dunfermline , collected by Mr . Thomas N . Brown , and also the proceeds of the concert on Saturday evening . The committee intend remitting every Wednesday , and as iseveral handsome subscriptions havu been sent in to the treasurer , including £ 25 from Sir Andrew Orr , it is seen that Glasgow in this , as in the Patriotic Fund , the volunteer movement , and other good causes , has come nobly forward , and occupies a proud pre-eminence over even London itself .

The New York Herald says : " Some of the European Governments , us well as our own , are about to send put expeditions ot observation to report upon the solar eclipse , which will occur on the 18 th of July . Our Government is sending officers to Washington territory , Labrador , and the Hudson Bay territory , and another company of observers to Chile , so that we shall obtain observations of the phenomenon under the most favourable circumstances . We have a decided advantage over European countries , owing to our being in a more southern belt , and we should not wonder if the United States expeditions produce the most intelligible and instructive re « ults . " ' , ,
, In the parish of Coleford , an obscure place in the north of Devon , there resides the champion wrestler , of England , an old , man of nearly 70 years of ago , named Abraham Cann . When wrestling was at its height Cann was as popular in the sporting world aa Sayers and Heenun are at the present time , Many thousands of pounds were won by bots upon him ; and although it is a well-

Ganbaltliwas forced to grant aii arhiisttFe" ~ otr ~ airecnTn ^ of-a want of ammunition . It is rumoured that the insurgents found a large sum of money in the Royal Palace . The Neapolitan Ambassador has been summoned to Naples by telegraph . It is stated that he will be . intrusted-with the formation of a new ministry . Since the last victories of Garibaldi , the Papal Government has feared disturbances in Rome , Strong French patrols traverse the streets . According to advices received at Genoa June 4 th , from Naples
to the 3 rd inst ., the King is said to have refused the conditions of the capitulation , and hostilities were to recommence at noon on Monday . The City of Palermo is barricaded , and part of the royal troops are surrounded by the insurgents . A Neapolitan general is said to have gone over to the insurgents . The news from Messina to the 3 rd inst . is , that the city was deserted . All merchandise haul been embarked . The Supreme Committee of Palermo had announced , in the name of tho Dictator , that ; a vote will be taken on the question of annexation to Sardinia .
From Turin , June 3 , we learn that the enthusiasm tor Uaribaldi was gaining the army . In Sicily the clergy publicly preach a crusade against the Neapolitan Government . The Government has particularly demanded the support of France , and bus ordered the Council of State to prepare a constitution in conformity with French institutions . It is stated that Garibaldi shows great kindness to the Neapolitan officers whom he has taken prisoners , among whom he hopes some defections will take nlace .
The whole of Palermo was barricaded and fortified . Garibaldi had a groat number of grenades at his disposal . Other'royal troops stationed in the neighbourhood of the Custom-house had gone over to Garibaldi with arms and ammunition . Influence wns also exercised by Garibaldi ' s ayents in the other portions of tho Neapolitan army .

This resolution had given rise to the supposition : that the Sicilian revolution hits become a matter of diplomatic negotiations . Berlin , June 6 th . —It is said that an understanding between Prussia and the middle States of Germany will be brought about by an interview , at Baden-Baden , between tho Prince Regent of Prussia and several German Sovereigns .

lished by the JOusseldorfer Journal to be a falsehood . No letter or despatch of any kind has been purloined or misdirected , nor have any explanations been demanded by the French Government respecting any letter . This is a very explicit contradiction , but still it is only the word of the Staats Anzeiger , ov the Cabinet of Berlin , against the Dusseldorjer Journal . It is a question of credit , and right or wrong , I , and a great many more , choose to -put faith in the Dusseldorjer . This may or may not be very painful to the feelings of Prussia ' s Regent and Ministers , but we cannot think the Dusseldorfer Journal would , in the teeth of the press laws , venture to publish such a statement unless upon very safe authority . Up to the present we hear of no steps having been taken by the police against the journal in question , and this circumstance tends to confirm our belief in the truth of the statement .
The Provisional Session of the Austrian Council of the Empire was opened on the 31 st ult . by the Archdulce Regnier . On the following day the Empeeoe gave a reception 1 o the Council , when he read a discourse promising the " Autonomy" of each country belonging to the Crown , withoiit renouncing the system of centralisation . The Hessian Gazette has published the long-expected Constitution for the Electorate . It is dated 30 th May . We have , up to the present , accounts of no less than one hundred and fifty shipwrecks which occurred in the North Sea and Baltic during the late heavy gales .
