His debts and liabilities are ex-• treinely heavy ; but , according to his own estimate , . Afccf assets will eventually liquidate the whole of the « laims that Can be sustained against him . From Tweeds we have the account of a most barbarous attempt at wife murder . The brutal husband is in custody ^ and th e unfortunate woman remains in a very precarious state . in its crimi

Sraethurst , or rather is determined "that the public should-understand that the Home "Office will not let him go because , of "• startling circumstances " that have come to the knowledge of the Authorities . This ihas been contradicted . However , * he statement is repeated with the assertion that the penalty of death .. will be commuted to that of ij > enal servitude for life . If so the public will be itnxious to learn for-what , offence it is that , the ^ irisoner is to be deprivedTof his liberty as long as he Jives . It cannot surely be forthe offence of mur-• dering- Miss JSankes at Richmond , seeing that the Jaw would send him to the gallows for that . A horrible narrative - of drunkenness and murder
-comes from the - Potteries district . A number of labourers not being able any longer to . drink in a Ilublicrhpuse , continued their orgy in a neighbouring ifield , and a brutal quarrel was of course the result , one of the drunken brutes being mortally stabbed by one of liis companions . . ¦ .

Keeton ' s men have hot worked ; he having promised them that he would inform them after his return from an Irish journey in which he is now en ^ . gaged , whether he could give an advance or not , ^ b ut it-seems . tliey have not waited his ' return .

Browne , son ' of the Earl of Kenmare , 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 on his back in the water . They rushed in alarm to the spot , but the unfortunate young man had disappeared . Auguste Bellemare , one of the voyageurs , dashed into the water , and dived , sixteen feet deep , but without success . Louis Decoteau , another voyageur , also dived , but with the same 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 tlie least false step would have led them over the falls . The body was but twelve minutes in the water ; « n , d ~ although- every appliance and effort were used to revive it , from eight o ' clock till twelve , it was without success . " The poor lad was buried at Quebec on the 30 th ult ., and the funeral was attended -with great demonstrations of public sympathy .
During , the trial trip of the Great Eastern an accident occurred to one of the engine-fitters to the paddles , named McGrogan . He was in the act of piling the steam trunnion' of One of the cj'linders , when his arm was caught between the cylinder and the quadrant and crushed to pieces at the wrist . The instant the fractured limb was released McGrogan recovered his composiire and walked coolly to the surgery ; he declined to submit to amputation , though the wrist was only held oh by a comparatively small portibn of the muscles . There is now a fair , chance of srtving the hand , though : can never " be of the slightest use to . the poor fellqw .
The ship Quebec , of New Orleans , from . Bordeaux , for Shields , ran on the Eddystbne Rocks on Tuesday afternoon . Herjibboom end was within 10 feet of the south-west kitchen window of , the lighthouse- — the window beinjr 70 feet high . 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 , with the help of the pilot boat Heroine , attempted to beach her on the Cornish coast , but the sand ballast choked the pumps , and she sank one mile S . S . W . of the Preventive Station , where she will be covered at high water . While on the rocks , boats , offering assistance , came from her Majesty ' s screw steam frigate Topaze , 51 , Captain the Hon . W . S . Spencer , which had just left the Sound for Vancouver ' s Island .
Another of those fatal colliery explosions which are now becoming so common has occurred . A poor fellow , whose carelessness apparently was the cause of the accident , has been killed by the explosion . . , . . There . appears now no doubt that . the South Shields collier brig Edgar , which left the Tyne a month ago for Hamburg with a fleet of other vessels , has perished with . all hands . Her stern has washed up within about 60 miles of the Elbe . When the vessel saJled from the " Tyno , she had ten hdnds on b , 6 ard . ' Her Waster was Mr . "Edward Mackay , and
his brother , \ y illiarri jVIaekay , was the thate of the vessel . " Ti » G ustutl cpinplernent of hands ( offlqers , crew , and apprentices ) was iiine ; ' but it seems that as the vessel was proceeding to , sea , a jittle lad , brother ' of the , cab " boy ,, stowed himself | below to get a runaway voy ag ' 6 to sea , j \ ntf the poor little fellow has pe ^ rishe' 4 with thp vessel and her crew . .

The Queen and Prmce Consort left on Friday morn ing at ten for Loch Katrine , to open the Glasgow waterworks , ; ) B The Prince of W ; AfES .--On the unimpeachable authority of the Coitrt Journal Ave can announce that the Prince was expected yesterday at Buckineham palace from Scotland , and goes to Oxford earlv in next week to pursue his studies at the University . Public Health . r-The deaths last week were nearly 100 below the average rate . The mortality froni diarrhoea declined to 34 , but there were 95 fatal case 9 of scarlatina and 11 of diphtheria ; 22 children and 6 of
adults died from , small ^ p ox . The total deaths was 99 G , and of births 1 , 757 . The roprtality returns for the week for the . City are above ; the average of the last four years , the number of deaths having been 58 . The sinall-pox is also said to be very prevalent in London , so ' much so , indeed , that the parishes are called i ^ pon to tak e energetic measures in preventing the spread of the disease . In Slarvlebone the oflicials . have . already determined to adopt the precaution Of haying ' additional separate hospitals . The Small-pox Hospital is so full that another patient cannot be received , and such an occurrehee has not taken place for . years ..
The Loss op t , he A-lma . —The oflScial inquiry respecting the loss of th "( B' peninsular and Oriental steam ship Alma .. in jt ' he Red ^ Sea has been proceeded with at Greenwich . Sif JiTphn Bowring , who was a passenger on board at the Sine of tlie ^ vreck , gave it as his opinion , that from the clearness of the night the reef on . which the . vessel struck ought to have been descried . at a . . distance of at least 200 yards . Opposed to Sir John ' s evidence , however , was that of Mr-. Gisborne , ' . C . E ., also a passenger , who thought the reef could not . have been visible at that distance . A re-examination of the Ofilcers of the Alma was alsp made . The evidence goes far to inculpate those who had the direction of the ship , who are guilty , in the opinion of many of the passengers , of gross negligence .
The Forbes Mackenzie Act . —The Daily Scotsman sketches in a lively arid graphic way a wet week in the Highlands . The sun . at last breaks out , and the assembled tourists joyously anticipate a pic-nic on the top of Ben-Muick-Dhuie . " But all these brilliant expectations are suddenly extinguished . IJp starts a spectre which , like the skeleton of old , presides over us on festive occasions—up starts l <" prbc ! S Mackenzie ! The landlord can't . let any hamper go to the hill , that ' s clear . It is in his certificate that he ' do n © t sell groceries or other provisions in the said house or premises to be consumed elsewhere , ' -It dawiis upon him by degrees that tea and sugar are ' groveal
ceries ; ' that grouse , blackcock , ham , potted , collared trout , Stilton cheese , gooseberries , and apricots might not unfairly 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 familiar to him . What is to be done ? Nothing . It is illegal to remove / from that house an ounce of bread or a winq biscuit ; and it . is unanimously agreed that not in restless France nor despotic Austria , nor § ven in irpn-rujed Kussia , are we . to find the most preposterous and vexatious restraints on social freedonv-we must come home to find the climax .
