WE are happy to learn that our talented young friend, Master Lawrence W. Watson, gon of W. R. Watson, Esq., Sheriff of Queen’s County, still continues to gain bril- liant academic distinctions in one of our leading Provincial Colleges. He has been at King’s'College, Windsor, for the last two years, and in his recent examination ac- quitted himself well. He took first rank in Greek and French, in competition with an under-graduate four years his senior, who had been one term longer in the class than he was. In English they were equal, and in all the other branches young Watson was close upon the heels of his rival. We con- gratulate him on his success, and hope he may leng live to enjoy and wear his ‘‘blush- ing honors thick upon him.”

A novse of ill-fame, situated at the west end of this City, has, for years past, caused gteat trouble to the police and disturbance to the residents of that vicinity. The police have several times raided the premises and artested the proprictoress, together with several prostitutes. They have been sent to jail for months with hard labor, but im- mre WF seems to have little effect.

uring the last few days residents of that vitinity have been complaining that they cannot rest on account of the disorderly gang that frequent this hideous den. Last night, at 11 o’clock, officers Cameron and Shea made 2 raid on the premises, and ar- rested two common prostitutes named Elizabeth Matheson and Mary Young, and the proprietoress of the house—an old woman named Ann Callaghan. There were two young men in the house when the offi- cers entered, but they only secured one. All were under the influence of liquor. Misses Matheson and Young were taken to the police station ; but as the proprietoress had two small children to care for, the. offi- cers left her, with the intention of securing her this morning. She left the house dur- ing the night and escaped to the woods at Brighton, where the police are now seeking for her. Those arrested were examined be- fore the Stipendiary Magistrate this morn- ing. Misses Young and Matheson were tried together on the same charge. They underwent three months imprisonment for a like offense some time ago. On hearing the evidence of officer Cameron and the City Marshal, they were sentenced to 4ix months imprisonment with hard labor. Tae young man was sentenced to one

The movement of the Indian troops to Malta will be discussed in the House of Lords also on Monday, when Load Beacons- field will call attention to the question whether such a movement, previous to no- tifying Parliament, is constitutional.

‘he Opposition, however, will not move any resolution on the subject in the House of Lords, and Lord Hartington’s resolution in the Commons is declared by him not to be intended to raise a question of policy of using the Indian forces; but is merely a legal issue.

Advices from La Vallett, Malta, state that the Duke of Edinburgh has assumed command of the ironclad Black Prince.
