ALL ROUND THE WORLD.

At Rochester, wi September 27, during a performance ivls Messrs. Sanger's circus, a trained; horse lost hU temper, and, sewing a ruler named Hell by Sho neck, it r;:n round the arena, shaking him us :i eat wrnld a mouse, and afterwards seized him by the side ami ran round wit 1 ;, hit.: lis a similar manner. Bell was much lacerated, bat sustained no permanent injury. It is stated on yood authority that sympathy with (sho Servians is at fever heat in St. Petersburg, and that hatred for Turkey sunt alt connected with her is openly expressed. Tuis mint be very disagreeable for the Duchess of Edinburgh, wh ,3o husband is always about with the Sultan. Bit tht,n h./s a bit of a Turk himself.

There is a curiosity shop in Picadilly which is as interesting as a museum. In its window you c: n see for nothing the black-jack used by CTromw; If, a tankard presented by DViens to- a friend, a ring of Lady Mary Worthly Montagu, _ &e. Then you are set to moralising by noticing on'j of the racing cups that belonged to the unfo tituate ~Lord Hastings, the sjold " Albert" of the Claimant which he used tu linger so ostentatiously during the trial, and fc.ie silver spoons of the infant defendant, w t v curious " posy' - rings with inscriptions of undying affection. Several guns are preserved at the Uoyal Arsenal on account of their curious history, and another has just been a hied, tt is n* T-in. breechloadiug Armstrong wrought-iron gun, made some years ag l at the Royal Arsenal and sent out. to India. F>r some defect it was condemned by the Indian fiovernnient, sent home. and sold by auction at the Uelvidere ttoad, Lambeth, to a dealer for.* .i,l(>, with breech screw, vent, sights, and tifiugs cotuphte. The dealer subsernieivtly sola it at a modrate pfolit, as scrap iron, to- the Uoyal Oun factories, and, being fo.in.l repatrabl«, it will be again n-ndered tit for service, in w.'dch state it will be worth upwards of ,£r.oo.

The London correspondent of the £/'<.•/•<•- pool Allium says : days bom goiiu about a stocy which I beliuvo t<> oe w,:ll founded. U is stated that iv very illustrious person has had a most 3uriuus altercation with a nobleman who, not many months a„'o, vv;u in; r.!i < L >w aiHouso, and who holds a post or sntu - tinjportaucu a". Court. Rofch Ol'.t; disputants lure font of yachting, and it was o.vfc of [this manly aiuusotu nt that the (pianvl arose. The E'rinc \ is is said a-»!c d the drew of the nobleman's yao-;t to race His Royal Highness wiiti the owner of the yacht was absent, and they did so. This the nobleman considers a piece of import iirnou even from a prinee, and ho s.ud so. there ensued word* so high that th y se ;me t likely »*■ ovu time ti-> end ill blows. I should not be surpris.-d to louru that in eons-qui nee of thorn a mombur of tiiu Government had resigued. Thtv Tlm<-n has done rather a vonturosoiuo thi'U hi publishing the let Cor from Boll which, lately appeared in Mr. Roll says, in hvi which there can bo no mistaking, that Mr. B avo wiM mnrd.rod, and that Mrs. t\>X iviu the murderess. He attempts to disprove the t leocy of suicide, bur; not with success. Certainly that theory is the one usually adopted, and b the only one eonnistout wish the evidence. Tut,re is one tiling to bo said fi>r Mr. Bell— lie has at iujist the courage of his opinions. He says pfaiuly whom he moans w'avn he t,w!c3 of mnrd'-r, although he may bo osillod upon to matte good hi;* statement in a court i>f law. The coron-r"s jury was under no such obligation, yt t it brought in a verdict of murder without ■having the fairness to say which of tee tlu-oo possible criminals i' meant to aeeme.
