Moss , a gentleman residing at Sheffield , packed up his plate and a quantity of jewellery , which he intended to confide to his bankers , as he was

A few days ago a girl named Jennings was drowned in the River Lea , near Bromley . She was walking with her

sweeUheart at the time , and he alleged that she slipped into the water where it is very shelving , and that he would have followed her but that he could not swim . There was , however , a suspicion that he pushed her in ; and some witnesses were examined to prove that he entertained a jealous feeling towards her . The

prisoner has been several times under examination . The magistrate of the Thames Courtobserved that , though there were suspicious circumstances in the case , he ivas satisfied no jury would convict , and ho therefore discharged the prisoner . Henry Munn , a soldier , charged with attempting to murder a girl named Turner , at Cheltenham , has been examined before the

magistrates . The young woman herself was able to be present , though in a very weak and exhausted state . She at first denied that the prisoner paid his addresses to her , but admitted that he had quarrelled with another young man with whom she was in the habit of walking . The prisoner was committed for trial . An inquest ou a marker , killed at the rifle ranges at

Gravesend last week , has been held . The evidence went to show that the regulations of the service , if fully carried out , went far to render accidents impossible ; and that the death

occurred in this case by the recruit firing while the musketry instructor was engaged registering the previous shot . By the instructions , he ought to have waited till that functionary was at leisure to attend to the pointing of the muzzle of his musket . The jury returned a verdict of accidental death , and recommended that two men should for the future he employed at the butts—one to register the shots and the other to point the

rifles of the recruits . An inquest has also been held on a gasfitter , who was picked up iu the Green Park a few days ago .

hospital , where he was found to have sustained severe injuries about the head , and of which he soon afterwards died . A man came forward , and said he saw the deceased stagger and fall heavily in the park , and that he assisted in sending him to the hospital . . It is supposed that he had been stupefied by gas fumes which he inhaled in the course of his occupation . It remains to be explained bow the

wounds on the man ' s head were not sooner discovered , and with that object the inquiry was again adjourned . The fine steamer Ontario went ashore on the Hasborough Sands , on the Norfjlk coast , and has become a total wreck . The crew were able to get ashore during a moderation in the weather , but for a time they were in great danger . The

Yarmouth boatmen were applied to to bring them ashore in the lifeboat , but with a rapacity seldom exhibited in men in their class they refused to go off unless they were paid £ 500 .. The boatmen of a neighbouring station went off for £ 100 , but so tempestuous was the sea that they were obliged to return without reaching the ship . -Franz Mailer was put on his trial at the Central Criminal Court on Thursday , but the trial had made but little progress when we went to press .

FoiiEiGfr INTELLIGENCE . —The Emperor Napoleon left Paria on Wednesday for Nice , where be will have an interview with the Emperor of Russia , who will , it is presumed , return the visit at Compiegne . The speculators of Paris are engaged in

endeavours to conjecture whether any political results will follow from the imperial interviews ; and it is probable that contradictory rumours will very speedily be circulated . The number of men required for the French army , and being provided for in

A pamphlet entitled " The Convention of the 15 th September , " and , as we are told by one of Mr . Renter's telegrams— "believedto be of semi-official origin , " was published a few days ago in Paris . In this pamphlet the writer

maintains that the stipulations of the Convention will be exactly fulfilled , and declares that the object of the treaty was to " bring about such an understanding between the Papacy and

Italy as may allow of a solution of the great and fundamental question of Rome . " The consequence of such a " solution " would be that "Catholicism would rally round the cause of Italy , and the difficulties still existing on the other side of the Alps , and which prevent the establishment of order in Europe , would be solved . " In conclusion , the writer expresses a conviction—which no one will believe that he entertains—that the

Pope will do nothing to im |) ede "the happy and speedy reconciliation of the Papacy and Italy . " Garibaldi has issued a declaration that he is opposed to the Franco-Italian Convention ; and the Italian Government seems to have deemed this manifesto

likely to inflame the popular discontent at Turin ; for the journals which published the "declaration" have been summarily seized . Nevertheless we are assurred that " perfect tranquillity reigns in Turin , and there is not the least indication of excitement . " Almost all the members of the Italian Parliament havo arrived in Turin . There seems to be no doubt that the Franco-Italian Convention will be carried by a large majority in the
