A PARLIAMENTARY return has been printed, containing
the names of all Governors and Lieutenant-Governors
of British Colonies, with the amount of their salaries,
dates of their appointments, and other particulars.
From this return it appears that there are 45 places at
which we have governors, lieutenant-governors, or
persons acting in that capacity. Their aggregate
salaries amount to £118,846 per annum. The highest
salary is £7000, which is given in two cases only, viz.,
to the Earl of Elgin, Captain-General and Governor-in
Chief of Canada; and to Sir G. W. Anderson, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief of Ceylon. From this point
they range downwards to as low as £500, which is the
salary at Montserrat, Nevis, and Heligoland. There is
one £6000 salary, to James Macaulay Higginson, at the
Mauritius; and £5000 is given at Jamaica, to Sir H.
Barlky; at Gibraltar, to Lieut.-General Sir R.
Gardiner; at the Ionian Islands, to Sir H. G. Ward; at the
Cape of Good Hope, to Lieut.-General Cathcart; at
New South Wales, to Sir C. A. Fitzroy; and at
Victoria, to Captain Sir C. Hotham. The salary at
South Australia is £2000. Among the present governors
there are twelve holding military and four naval rank.
The remainder are civilians. The Earl of Elgin is the
only peer.

The elections for the five boroughs whose franchise
had been suspended, have taken place. For Cambridge,
Mr. Shafto Adair and Mr. F. Mowatt have been

Lushington and Sir William Somerville; for Barnstaple,

NARRATIVE OF LAW AND CRIME.

The Trial of Mr. Carden for the Abduction of Miss
Eleanor Arbuthnot (see Household Narrative for July,
page 157), took place at the Clonmel Assizes on the
28th ult. It excited immense interest in the neighbourhood,
and the court-house was crowded, a great number
of fashionable ladies being present. Lord Gough, and
several of his family were in court. After the case had
been opened by the Attorney-General, Miss Eleanor
Louisa Arbuthnot was examined. She deposed that on
the 2d of July she went to Rathronan church with her
two sisters, Mrs. Gough and Miss Arbuthnot, and her
friend, Miss Lyndon. It was sacrament Sunday, and
they staid the communion. They had gone to church
in an open car; but the day being showery, a covered
car was brought during service, and in it they returned.
Miss Eleanor sat at the further end of the car on the
side next the driver, Miss Lyndon sat on the same side;
opposite Miss Eleanor sat Miss Arbuthnot, and Mrs.
Gough sat next the door. About halfway between the
church and Rathronan House, Mrs. Gough exclaimed,
"Mr. Carden is coming!" He passed on horseback;
turned, and followed the car. When near the lodge-
gate, the car suddenly stopped: Mr. Carden appeared
at the door, and putting his hand across Miss Lyndon,
violently pulled Miss Eleanor; but she was held back
by Miss Arbuthnot. "Miss Lyndon, who remained in
the car, struck him on the face with her closed hand:
I saw him bleeding," continued the witness. "Mr.
Carden then let me go, and pulled Miss Lyndon out of
the car. I saw her dragged out by Mr. Carden on the
road. Mrs. Gough was then in the car, but she left it
soon afterwards: I saw her get out of it. I and my
sister, Miss Arbuthnot, were in the car. I was in the
place behind the coachman, my sister opposite. Mr.
Carden caught my sister and pulled her out. I did not
see distinctly how he caught hold of her. She resisted
him with all her strength. After her removal I was
alone in the car. Mr. Carden came to the car again.
He caught hold of both my wrists. He endeavoured to
pull me out of the car. I resisted him, by holding on
by a strap which was attached to the window. I caught
it to prevent myself from being taken out. The strap
broke at the moment Mr. Carden had hold of my wrists.
The strap was broken by the force with which Mr.
Carden pulled me. When the strap gave way, I was
pulled down from where I was sitting, to the door of the
car, out of the seat on which I had been sitting. I was
raised off the seat and pulled over to the door of the car.
Mr. Carden, who was on the step, was still holding the
upper part of my body, which was out of the car. I
was leaning out over the edge of the car. My legs and
the remainder of my body were in the car. My feet at
that time had been drawn nearer the door than they
were when I was sitting at the recess. They were
drawn close to the door. They had been close to the
other end. The length of the car is, as I think, three
or four feet. I think my feet had been removed about
two feet; the remainder of my body more than that—
I think about three feet; I mean by that, the portion of
my body that was outside the door. The car at the
back had loose leather curtains; the front and
