PENRITH HERALD and EAST CUMBERLAND and WESTMORLAND NEWS. NO. 438-Sixth Week in Quarter Registered for Transmission Abroad. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1874. PRICE 1D. THE LATE FATAL FIGHT AT BIRMINGHAM. At the Public Office, Birmingham, the men FRANKLIN, YARDLEY, and BRADLEY, were brought up on the charge of causing the death of ALFRED FOSTER, in a boxing match between FRANKLIN and FOSTER, at the Army and Navy Inn, Barford-street. After hearing the evidence, MR. KYNNERSLEY said he thought it extremely doubtful, after the verdict of the coroner's jury, if the grand jury would find a true bill against the prisoners, who were accordingly discharged. ____________________________________________________________________ FROM BERLIN we learn that the Ultramontane priest MGR. BOEDDINGHAUS, of Munster, who has gone through a period of imprisonment for political press offences committed in his capacity of manager of an Ultramontane print, has received a letter expressing sympathy and approbation in warm terms from ARCHBISHOP MANNING. ____________________________________________________________________ THE PEACE SOCIETY AND THE ELECTION. - The Peace Society have issued an election manifesto, in which, while disclaiming political propagandism, they point out that it is the duty of each one to avail himself of every opportunity for exerting a personal influence in securing, as far as possible, the election of a body of national representatives who, while avoiding any errors of the past, may steadfastly follow, in the future, those examples which wise and able statesmen have given in the promotion of that "Peace on earth and Good Will to men" which all right-minded persons must earnestly desire. ____________________________________________________________________ A PROFESSOR of legerdemain entertained a village audience which was principally composed of colliers. After "astonishing the natives" with various tricks - metamorphosing wine into water, &c., - he asked the loan of a half-penny from one of the audience. A collier, after a little hesitation, handed out the coin, which the juggler speedily exhibited, as he said, transformed into a guinea. "An' is that my bawbee?" exclaimed the collier. "Undoubtedly", answered the juggler. "Let's see't," said the collier, and, turning it round and round in examination, with an ecstacy of delight, he thanked the juggler for his kindness, and putting it into his pocket, said, "I'se warn't ye'll no turn't into a bawbee again." ___________________________________________________________________ A "NATIONAL PARTY" IN FRANCE. - A Paris correspondent says: From another source in Paris I learn that PRINCE NAPOLEON now seeks to found "a national party," having at its head young men, deputies, councillors-general, &c. "Sans engagements dans le pass", and having for its motto "Liberty, democracy, and national sovereignty". PRINCE NAPOLEON's propaganda, I am also told, is more active and successful in the provinces than in the capital. __________________________________________________________________ GERMANY AND ENGLAND. - From an article in the Spener Gazette, it appears that the Protestant meetings in London have given great satisfaction in Germany, it being evident that Ultramontane France can now no longer look to England for support in any plans of revenge. Belgium, it is hoped, will see by the London meetings on what a steep and dangerous decline the country is being led by hostility towards Germany, and by the unchecked action of the Jesuits.
