Miscellaneous. The Biixeting System. — A...
of age , the -wife of a tailor , and , from what cairbe aS ^ certained of the matter , it appears that she" ; wasf chastising the cat in some way , when the an | mal ; turned round and scratched her on the arm . Shetook little notice of the wound until the arm became , inflamed , and it Boon assumed such a painful state of swelling that application for medical assistance became indispensable . She was accordingly admitted an in-patient , but the inflammatory symptoms were of so obstinate a character that they failed to yield to surgical treatment , when erysipelas supervened , and she died on Saturday last .
AduiiTera . tion of Beer . —Several beerhouse keepers were summoned at the West Bromwich Petty Sessions on Saturday last , for using grains of paradise in their brewing . They were fined in the mitigated penalty in each case of £ 50 . Samuel Maiden was also summoned for having in lxis possession certain colouring matter—a mixture of burnt sugar and sulphuric acid —for mixing with the beer , to give it a deep colour and an appearance of strength . He alleged that it was a mixture of treacle and vinegar only , prepared for the use of an invalid son ; but the bench , convicted Mr . Maiden , and fined him also in the mitigated penalty of £ 50 .
Soiree to Messrs . Gibson and Bright . —The usual annual soiree to the members for Manchester is to be held in the Corn Exchange in that city , on the eve of the meeting of Parliament . The preliminaries were agreed to at a private meeting 5 a NewaU ' s-buildings , on Saturday evening . Papal Domination in lREl »* . tfD . —The Papal bull appointing a successor to the late Dr . Haly in the Roman Catholic See of Leighlin and FernB has given great dissatisfaction aniong the more independent of the Irish Papists . The diocese had elected by twentyone votes the Very Rev . Dr . Walsh as the successor of Dr . Haly ; but it is stated that the bull consecrates a clergyman who was never even put in nomination —the Rev . Dr . Miley 3 President of the Irish College at Paris . This manifestly infringes to a most serious extent on the freedom of the Irish Catholic Church .
Sale or a Cheap Newspaper by Aucnox . —The Marieliester Daily Telegraph , one of the first of the penny diurnals , was put up the other day for sale by auction . There was only one bidder , who offered one hundred pounds . To him the paper wa 3 knocked down ; but , not being prepared with an instalment , the sale was quashed , and the paper has since ceased to appear . M . Musurus , the Minister Plenipotentiary from the Sublime Porfce to England , has been eleVatedto the higher rank of Ambassador Extraordinary .
A London Night ' s Entertainment . —For an uncle to see such sights , Ms name should be Plato , not Plappington , he should come from the groves of Academe—not Cogglesbury ; then might "be found a nephew to give him a l-ax-e night's roving ; to show him the sorrows and the shames , the stony-hearted 'horrors of the streets , the dead secrets of the river , the unutterable miseries of the hovels in the city that is paved with pure gold . To stand by the hospital-door where the sick go in—to stand at the hospital railings where the corpses como out—to bathe oneself in the ruby glare from the cheap doctor ' s shop—to listen to the never-ending clang of the pawnbroker ' s box-doors ( private boxes , and the Inferno performed every night ) —to hear the oaths of the wan carpenter in the garret , when he finds his tipsy wife has pawned his Sunday coat—and the cries of the wan woman in the cellar as
the drunken cobbler beats her head in with hits lapstone—to see how the boys are thieves at eight , aud the girls lost at twelve , and all of thorn ragged and starved at any age ; and then , presto , to liio away to now springs and pastures , to broad , open squares and spacious streets , clean , well-paved , and fresh-smelling , there to nee the coronotcd carriages roll , the proud horses champing at great men's doors , the splendid footmon handing up tho foaming tankard or tho fogdofying drop of short to culy-wigged coachoo on the box ; tho comely houHamaida darting out from number threo to fotoh -tho beor , and hear tlxo latest iiows of ribbons , tho Life Guard * , and
missussert from number four ; tho visions of fragile forms of fair women at drawing-room windows , and of shawled and oloaWl figures huntily entering or issuing from carriages . Thesp ^ ights aiJi pounds would suit Plato , but not your unolPPIappington . Tho philosopher would find matter for weeping and laugh tor , for oogitation nnd speculation . ; but your worthy avuncular hop-merchant would , in all probability , indignantly toll you , that ho was not going to he dragged through tho alums ) of tho Eust-ond and tho gontoel donorts of tho West , and if you thought that tho way to treat your father ' s brother , « ir , you wore very much mintnkon . —The Train .

John Foster , of tho Hxaniincr , \ mn roceivoil tho appointinout of Koorutury to tho CominiHttionorB of Lunacy , with a salary of . £ 800 por annum , nice LutwU % e , promoted to a CornmhjBionorahip .

"We trust that he will not leave olti England for another campaign Without some- fitting testimonial from hi 8 brethren of the' press" of their 'admiration and esteem . A man who has done so . much for the honour of the press and the benefit of his country should not be allowed to depart without some visible Bign of fraternal sympathy and public gratitude . Prevention of Railway Accidents : —^ i fr . Joseph Taylor , the local engineer on the Morayshire railway , and Mr . Charles T . Cranstoun , the secretary and manager , invented some time ago a method of connecting railway rolling stock , so as to- prevent the accidents which frequently result from the . usual plan . Having brought their scheme before the-notice of the Board of Trade , they received an answer which contained the ensuing passages : — " My Lords da not under ordinary circumstances undei'take to investigate and decide upon the comparative merits of such inventions . But , in consequence of the large nuinber of accidents which have occurred to servants of railway companies from being crushed between the buffers of waggons and carriages ( viz ., twenty-five persons killed and fifteen injured in the year 1854 ) , niy Lords are induced to ^ accept inventions of the nature submitted by you . . . . With the view of obtaining farther information on . the subject of this invention , my Lords have directed Colonel Yolland , cne of their inspecting officers , to inspect it and to report to them thereon , when his other engagements will permit . " This letter was dated May 15 , 1855 ; but , as yet , the invention has not been inspected by Colonel Yolland , or any other officer from the Board of Trade . Chtjrch-Rates . — -A ' majority of 83 ( the numbers being 301—218 ) lias decided against a church-rate at Hitchea , in Hertfordshire . ; Will of a . Millionaire . —Lettez's of administration have been issued from the Prerogative Court , under the will of the late Mr . R . Dixon , of Stansteadpark , near Emsworth , Hampshire , who , during a long and honourable career as a . wine merchant , had amassed a fortune to the great amount of more than £ 1 , 000 , 000 sterling . He bequeaths tho estates , together with the mansion , plate , jewellery , furniture , Ice , and property in laud , valued at about £ 3 , 000 per annum , aud a sunx of £ 400 , 000 in the funds to his widow , for her own absolute use . He leaves to his two sisters , both of wham are advanced in years , £ 200 , 000 each . To all his servants £ 50 a-year for over , and a further sum of £ 500 to such as had been long in his service . To every labourer on the estate he has left £ 5 , independently of other minor legacies . About two months before his death , he distributed the large sum of £ 85 , 490 among some of his personal friends , adopting the plan of gifts in order to evade tho legacy duty , to the payment of which he had very great repugnance . His charitable performances were in accordance with his prodigious wealth . Some few year . - * bnak , ho built and liberally endowed an almshouse for the reception of reduced merchants of advanced ago . He also orectoil a church , with a parsonayo and sclvool-houBe , in the hamlet of Staustead , nniking ample provision for their permanent maintenance . To the poor of I ho district ho was over n generous benefactor . Mr . Dixon was twice married , but leaves no iflinto by . either marriage .

EASTERN AFFAIRS . - . : . ' ' . ( From a Private Correspondent . ) ¦ -. We have news from Schuoila up to the 22 rid of December . At that date , General Smith , commanding the irregular cavalry ( which force numbers 7 , 50 Q officers and men in the neighbourhood of Schumla ) , was Btatcd to be in a very precarious state of health , and removal to- a warmer climate was indispensable for his recovery ; but in his present state removal was impossible . The weather was very cold , anct tho snow deep . .-, The Irregular Cavalry is in a very disorderly stat $ y owing to the impossibility of drilling the men during suoh bad weather , scattered about as they are in the towns and vilkigod ; courts of inquiry are held daily . It is the opinion of persons well-informed on the subject , that , unless some vigorous steps are taken immoclintoly , this force will not survive the winter .
