Tue train which ran off the track at Suffolk Station on Saturday was righted, and taken

“ into the City at 6 o'clock on Saturday evening.

One of the engines was badly damaged, and the track was tern up a considerable distance.

Tus ice in the ‘“‘ Skating Rink” was in ex- eellant condition on Saturday evening, and a large number of citizens enjoyed the healthful exercise it affords. The first carnival of the season will take place on the 30th inst.

Mrs. CHIVERIE, an important witness in the Johnston Millrer case, was missed from the eity on Saturday. She was discovered at St. Peter's Bay, and is now in the custody of the police.

GORGE WELDON was arraigned before the Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon charzed with brutally assaulting his wife on Saturday last. She—who made the complaint—was in- duced by some friends of his to withdraw it, end he was discharged after the magistrate warned him ‘‘that if he ever came up for alike offence he would imprison him in the common jail for six months with hard labor.”

B. Witsox Hiaes, Es@., was summoned to the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this fore- noon, at the instance of William Koughan, ‘Esq., Shipping Master of this port, for a breach of the Shipping Act, in paying off two sailors from the seized vessels of Duncan &

Co., without his (the Shipping Master’s) knowledge. The case was postponed for wit- ness.

Rerorm Cius Meerine.—A special meet- ing of the members of the Reform Club will be held in their Hall, on Monday evening next, the 13th inst., at 7.30, to consider matters of

t importance in connection therewith. To efine who are the members entitled to a vote in the Club, it will be necessary to produce receipts from Capt Jonas Anderson, Manager, in full for dues to date. Persons who have violated their a will not have the right to vote. A full attendance is particularly re- quested. Byorder. D. Lawson, President. 4i

Tuer Supreme Court meets in this City to- morrow. It is expected that the session will bea longone. The docket—composed as it will be of eighty-four civil and about twenty. four criminal causes—is the largest on record for years past. We hear of no important civil cases, but the criminal calendar will be appal- ing. To occupy the attention of the Grand Jury, are two cases of murder or manslaugh- ter; two of arson; four of forgery—the cul- prit in one case being a youth of fifteen sum- mers; one of rape; two of sheep-stealing ; four of house-breaking ; three of maiming and eutting horses’ tails; one of bigamy, and five of larceny. Not a good six months’ exhibit for thia little community.

Tus financial year of the Licensing Board ended the 30th of December. The accounts show the revenue to the city from that source for the year to be $2,070 67, a3 follows: —

Oe NE ie ie as ok So $944 41 Oho i. . 34 id Sik . 639 36 Onc. a o i's 486 90 eee, it oh cee $2,070 67

Save the salaries of the members—who re- ceive $50 each—there has been little or no ex- iture in connection with the Board. The Stipendiary Magistrate’s clerk is, by act of parliament, aah. and is obliged to perform the work of the Board without remuneration. This is unfair. The men who meet about once a month to merely order that work be done are paid a salary, while he who does the work so ordered is in no way recompensed but, on the contrary, in many cases abused.

this is not only incorrect for the reason that that the previous error in regard to iny- self is repeated; but, as a point of fact, the witness—James Carter—did not faint. He wasfill at the time of his ‘“‘previous examina- tion,” and, consequently, unable to stand the close air of aroom, so hot and crowded as Court — then was, and on that ac ount

The Mischievous “ Looker-On ” Answered.

\T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,— While reviewing a copy of your valu- able paper of the 9th inst., I perceived a pro- duction from the pen of acharacter who styles himself ‘*‘ A Looker-On.”

1 would like to know how many of the de- predations he saw. He appears to be trying to show fairplay between the North River criminals and myself, and to dispose of me at a big discount in the estimation of my Baptist friends. He says 1 should have known better than to say that the dog was roasted in the Baptist Church.

The words, Mr. Editor, which I stated in my evidence were: ‘*‘ They roasted the dog in the old Baptist Church, then used as a Hall,” which, any sensible person could see, had no reference to the present Baptist Church ; and: ‘* Looker-On” ought to know that the three desperadoes who roasted the dog in the old church were not particular what place they desecrated, any more than the sanctimonious sexton who hid the two thieves in the new church; and he must consider that the churches are not responsible for the actions of those scoundrels, any more than the Garden of Eden was for the destruction done in it after the devil entered.

I hope the eye-glasses he carried will be made clean from the North River impurities before he enters the Court Room again, and then he will see that I have had fires enough at North River, and not be trying to kindle another flame.

Yours ete., J. SELLAR.
