WE-beg again to call the attention of the authorities whom they may concern to the circumstances, reported in this journal last night, regarding the unfortunate woman Lockhardt and the Roman Catholic priest.

unge with the rules of the institution, aud procex da directly to the bad side of the woman Lockhardt, who was nearly murdered a week or two ago, and who it was notorious at the time of this visit was lying in a very serious condition, inflata- mation of the brain, arising from her fear. ful wounds, having to be guarded against by the constant application of ice-bage to her head. What took place between the priest and the woman on his arrival at her bed-side we are unable to state. · All we know is that the woman was found by the Resident Surgeon, shortly after the priest had left her, in an utter state of prostration, and, a fainting åt supervening, it was only with the great- ost difficulty, and the use of a galvanio battery and the production of artificial respiration, that her life was saved. The ios-bags appear to have been removed from her head, or her head from the Ice- bage, and it is said she had been raised up in the bed.
