TYBURN GATE.—It may not'be generally known among your readers that the centre portion of this gate , with the clock, is still standing on the premises of Mr. Baker, farmer at Crioklewood, who bought it at the time It was taken down. It consists of a high wooden arch , with two doors ; under this arch, in its original position, was a weigh-bridge, over which all waggons with goods from the midland and western counties passed, and tolls charged aceording to weight ; the height of the load was restricted to tlfh height of the arch. These waggons were drawn by eight, ten, or more horses, and carried goods and Painengers ; underneath swung a " dog-basket," which was often occupied by children, or even men, when there was Ito room in the waggon. The arch and doors with the old clock over have been erected at the entrance to a wooden cowshed, and can be seen from the high road through Cricklewood.—Notes and Queries. dn, 18s. ; Ms. 6d. ; rn Lyons, ; Wali 19a. 6d. ; srtlepool, sol& 26. al Told.

The emigration from Queenstown last week has somewhat exceeded that of the previous week—the number being about 600, and last week, 500. Captain Burton, who is now in Brazil, has made important discoveries, the effect of which will be so bene ficial to the empire that we doubt not his name will be hereafter associated with its greatest benefactors. When crossing the country from St. Paul's to Rio his attention was directed to some pisarro or bard clay, in which he at once recognised the bituminous shale which overlays the true coal measures, and in which petroleum exists. Further search resulted in the discovery of limestone and ironstone, all lying within a specie of eight miles. It would be impossible to overestimate the result of these discove ries, they augur a future of vast importance for BraziL Captain Burton has also been delivering Ilecturee before distinguished audiences—one on El M which he delivered in French at the Colter° de D.

MUTINY OF A SHIP'S CREW ON THE CLYDE.— I A large ship named the Trenton, Beattie, master, bound for Quebec, was at noon, on Tuesday , towed out from the 'I Tail of the Greenock B ankl on her outward voyage. A number of her crew, who were drunk,at the time, rose in mutiny, and fought so desperately amongst themselves and with their officers that the captain had to signal for assist ance. A party of marines was at once despatched from her Majesty's ship Lion to quell the disturbance, and after a severe struggle—for they encountered a moat deter mined resistance—they succeeded in securing six of the mutineers, who were promptly lodged in a place of safe keeping. There was a good deal of blood spilt during the melee, but no one was seriously injured. The Trenton sub sequently shipped six new men in place of these arrested, who will be tried on the charge of mutiny. THE NEW EXTRADITION TREATIES ACT.—Yester day the act to amend the law relating to treaties of extra dition was printed. It states that difficulties have been experienced in carrying into execution treaties for the ex tradition of persons accused of crimes between her Majesty and the sovereigns or governments of certain foreign states, that the sets now in force are insufficient, and that it is expedient to give greater facilities than at present I exist for the admission in evidence of judicial or official documents or copies of documents. It is now enacted that warrants of arrest and copies of depositions signed or taken by . or before a judge or competent magistrate in any fo reign state with which her Majesty may have entered or may hereafter enter into any treaty for the extradition of fugitive offenders or persons accused of crime shall be re ceived in evidence by the signature and seal of the court, as prescribed, and the official seal is to be sufficient with out further proof. The act is to be construed with other acts and to continue till the Ist of September 1867. THE NEW RAILWAY SECURITIES AcT. —Yesterday the important act to amend the law relating to securities issued by railway companies was printed. This act will effect several beneficial alterations. Every railway com pany on or before the 15th January next is to register, and to keep registered at the office of the Joint Stock Com panies in England, the name of their secretary, accoun tant, treasurer, or chief cashier fur the time being autho rised by them to sign instruments under this act.

The SU.ere says upon this subject : Politics are not an affair of sentiment. What can the Emperor of Mexico's government ask from France? There Is no occasion to be in the secrets of the gods to know that. With her military and financial assistance it has not yet been able to triumph completely over the obstinate resist ance of the republican party. Juarez, inaccessible to dis couragement after so many successive disasters, pursues the struggle with a perseverance and courage which the most bitter enemies of the principle which he represents cannot help admiring. Maximilian admitted as much him self, in his proclamation of November last. What the new Emperor has nut been able to accomplish with the assistance of the French will he be able to effect after their departure ? To ask the question is to answer it. What could he ask for, therefore? A prolongation of the armed intervention? That, however, ts hardly possible. The categorical declaration of the French government on that subjects not a measure that could be re-considered. There remains financial assistance. The Prase last year recommended that Mexico should be aided by guarantee ing a loan of 500 millions of francs. The writer in that journal, now known as the editor of the "'she'll, compla cently reminds its readers of that advice, and does not seem far from renewing the proposition—very generous, no doubt, and chivalrous. The public debt of France has been so much reduced, it has benefited by so many surpluses in her budgets, the taxpayers have been so much relieved, that to guarantee a loan of 500 millions to a country whose solvency is more than doubtful would be for her a mere bagatelle ! That perhaps is the opinion of the Liberte, but certainly is not that of the country. The universal satisfaction with which the announcement of the definitive term of the French intervention was received is the unmistakeable proof of that feeling. France has done enough—too much—for the Mexican monarchists. It is for them to accomplish the rest. The A rcher National says, with regard to the Empress of Mexico : This young and intelligent sovereign arrives with a de mand for subsidies in one hand and the abdication of her consort in the other. Matters have in fact come to such a point that without new and considerable sacrifices on the part of France the empire which was endeavoured to be founded in Mexico can evi dently not subsist. Is it the duty of France to submit to these sacrifices' Should she, particularly under existing circumstances, persevere in an enterprise the success of which would still remain problematical even were the government to devote to it double the amount of time, men, and money hitherto employed' Public opinion has already replied to this question with a force and unanimity that leave no doubt as to the way in which it ought to be solved. The French government, as the debates in the Legislative Body attest, did not act solely in obe dience to the necessity for regenerating Mexico in sending troops and money to that country. It aimed, above all, at obtaining serious compensations for French citizens injured in their interests, as well as guarantees for the future. At a later period it had to stipulate also (or an indemnity for expenses occasioned by the four years' campaign and for the reimbursement of the two loans issued in favour of Mexico, as explained in the Yellow Book. Nothing, therefore, any longer justi fi es the con tinuation of French political and military intervention in Mexico. The country condemns it, and the moat eloquent and sentimental phrases of the Patric and the France will in no way change its verdict. WOLVERHAMPTON RACES. —WEDNESDAT.

ROYAL I ICTORIA YAPHT CLUB REGATTA. ICYDE,NVEDNEMMY EVENING. The races for the two prima of 1001.—one by schooners and yawls, and the other by cutters and yawls— were left unfinished at the close of yesterday's despatch, in consequence of the starting of the boat for Southampton ; and the one by cutters was not concluded until late in the evening. The following are the times officially given of the arrival of the yachts : CeTTERS AND TAWLA. The first round was comploted as under : N. U.

The first round was couiplettal as under B. M. 8. Aline Witchcraft Ecnduv Madcap Blue bell Gloriana 2 2 20 The following was the completion of the second round: Aline Blue Ikll WiLlo . raft Evadue 4:lumina 6 49 51 The Madcap had given up the race soon after complet ing the first round. Thus the Aline takes the first prize, and the Blue Bell the second. A complaint has been made to the Club here that, as the cutters were about completing the second round to the winning post, the Arrow, not in the race, got in the way , upon which the rice- Commodore, Lord Burghley, requested that the course might be kept clear for the racing vessels. The allegation is that no notice whatever was taken of Lord Burghley's very reasonable request, and the only result was that the Arrow's anchor was dropped in the very place Ishe had originally taken up. If this statement is true, it is at any rate opposed to the ordinary amenities of yaeht iu fbia day the race was for the Cup given by the inhabi tants of Ryde, value 100 f., to be sailed for by all yachts belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. A time race, half Ackers's scale. The following yachts were entered : _ • Tons. Owners. Sphinx 47 . 11. C. Mandslay, Aline 214 .... C. Thellusion. Esq. Witchcraft Evadne lB4 .... J. Richardson,. Esq. M ar i na 65 J C. Money, Eakt. Caprice 22 .. . . Captain Anderson. Madcap Chnstahel 11)aetutit Bu lacy. Blue Bell 164 . F. Edwards, Esq. The whole of the yachts, with the exception of the Madcap, appeared at the st arting station. At 11 o'clock the starting gun was fired, and a beautiful start took place, the course being to the westward. They canted round to the northward almost at the same moment. The Christabel was the first to get round, but the Witchcraft was the first to set her main topsail. The Aline was close upon her, but she appeared somewhat sluggish in setting her topsail. The whole of the yachts were soon in stays, and immediately after the Sphinx. teok the 16811 1 halt the Christabel was well to windward, with the little Caprice close upon her quarter. The Aline, now bending under an immense load of canvas, passed under the lee of the Witchcraft. Having got this advantage, the Aline set her balloon jib, and showed she was evidently bent upon mischief. Caprice soon :itterw:trth , took the kid of Christabel, the Sphinx till leading, Blue Ball and Evadne being close astern. Some fine jockeying here took place between the Aline and Witchcraft, and the result of this hugging was, that otT Binstead the Aline, in endeavouring to forereach the Witchcraft, gut her bowsprit athwart that vessel and a very unpleasant collision was the consequence, audit was some time before they got clear of each ether. It was now a complete beat against tide to the western mark, hut so numerous were the yachts accompanying the race that the racing vessels could not be made out. On coming back to Ryde, going eastwards, the Sphinx was still the leading vessel, but with the Aline close upon bier weather quarter ; the Christabel was third, the Marina fourth, the Blue Bell fifth, the Hyacinth sixth, the Evadne seventh, the Witchcraft eighth, and Caprice last. They then went on with a tine westerly breeze to the Nab Light, but on their return the Aline had become the leading vessel. The time taken was as follows : W. it e. Aline Sphinx Caprice Blue Dell Marius itchcraft Evadnc The Hyacinth was a long distance astern, and was not timed. This completed the first round, and as it had occupied nearly four hours and a half by the fastest vessel, there was every probability that the race would be prolonged to rather an advanced period in the evening. On returning from the westward for the se cond time the Aline was still leading vessel, the Sphinx being second. In this order the race was finished. The Town Plate, value 100/., consists of a pair of very handsomely chased frosted silver claret jugs and salver. On the shield is the following inscription:—" Royal Victoria Yacht Club Regatta, Bilifl.—Presented, with two silver claret jugs, by the town of ityde." The plate was supplied by Dir. li. Thurlow, silversmith, of timon-street, Ryde. The regatta ball takes place this evening, and nothing can exceed the beauty of the decorations- The large room is most tastefully adorned with flowers, the contnbutions of noblemen and gentlemen of the island, while the stewardship of Mr. Lambert is at all times unexception able. Captain Mackinnon, the indefatigable secretary, has been for some days almost incessantly employed in completing the arrangements, and it ix expected that this evening will take place one of the most suooessful balls ever seen at this regatta. The large buffet of silver and silver plate was kindly lent by Messrs. Loudon and Ryder, of 19, New Bond street, for the occasion, consisting of several large racing cups and vitiate prizes made by them, and lent by their respective winners. The band of the Hungarian Brothers, under the direction of M. Slapoffski, were on the pier this afternoon, and played some choice selections from favourite operas sod popular dance music, and they received marked approba tion from a large number of visitors, being great favourites daring the season at this fashionable resort. The band will also perform on the pier to-morrow (this day) and Friday. The supposed death of Sir Gilbert East, Bart., still creates a great sensation here, and a reward of DOI. has been o ff ered for his body, or any satisfactory proof of his deaths BROADSTAIII3 ANNUAL REGATTA. —The first the Kent Coast repttas for this season came off yesterday at Broadstairs, un&r auspicious circumstances. CANADA AND THE ATLANTIC CABLE. —ln the Legislative Assembly at Ottawa, on the Ist, the question was asked whether a despatch had just been received by the Governor-General fr om the Imperial government which had passed over the Atlantic Cable, because if so, it deserved to be noticed b y the house. The Attorney- G en eral replied that he was happy to say • despatch f rom the Colonial-office —from Lord Carnarvon to Lord Monk —on important business had been received by way of the Atlantic telegraph, and dated on the day of its reception. The announcement was received with applause. Blind Tom will give two farewell concerts (prior to his departure for the provinces) at the great St.ames's hall, this day, morning and evening.

The Prince of wales has had an admirable op portunity during his present visit to Yorkshire of seeing something of the infinite variety of scenery of which the county can boast. Last week he spent some days by the side of the Ouse, and became acquainted with the soft beauty of the district immediately surrounding York ; on Saturday and Sunday he was at Studley, where the generous gifts of nature have been increasesi by all that art could do to supplement them ; and to-day he is at the loveliest of all the lovely spots which abound along the 'course of the Tees, and is enjoying the first shooting of ' the season upon the splendid moors above High Force. Yorkshirtmen, whose pride in their county is as well founded as it is nature., will be glad to know that the prince's visit has been so pleasing to him that it is not likely to be the last, but that already speculations are rife RS to his spending another twelfth of August in the matchless vale of the Tees. That many of the villagers were disappointed when they saw his royal highness is unquestionable. Their lively fancies had pictured a personage much more importing than the gentleman in a brown great coat and felt hat, who was smoking a cigar on the box-seat of the omnibus. Said ouc old gentleman, after the party had passed, "That's none th' Prince o' Wales. }feaster Wales more like. Why he wur slain' on top o't bus." But if some were incredulous am to his identity, the majority recognised him at once, and he was met throughout the whole journey by the same hearty and respectful greetings from people who seemed to be highly de lighted I.y the honour of a royal visit to their lovely scenery. high Force Inn, at which the Prince is staying, stands entirely by itself, by the side of the road, and within a quarter of a mile of the romantic falls from which it takes its name. It is something more than a common way-side hostelry, for it is used every year as a shooting box by the Duke of Clevetand,and is leseinaitiy triaiteetler noblemen and gentlemen who have shooting rights on the moors in the midst of which it lies. It is a plain but sub stantial edifice of considerable size. That the accommoda tion within its walls is not everything that a prince is accustomed to may be undeniable, but at the same time it is more than sufficient to satisfy a keen err:Le man like his royal highness, who would be willing to submit to a hundred discomforts from which he is free in this hospitable inn for the sake of the splendid sport which he is able to get in the immediate neighbourhood, and although the building is an inn, it would be difficult to find one where greater privacy is maintained than that which the Prince now enjoys. The sign-board has been removed for the time being from the front of the house, but the visiters to this secluded locality are so few in number that this fact can make but little difference in the amount of business done by the worthy hat.—Leeds Mercury. LONDON STREET NAMES. Ablue book has just been issued by the Metropo litan Board of Works, giving returns of the names of streets in the metropolis as regulated by the orders of the board. since 1656. These returns show that from 1857 to May in the present year 46,679 houses were re-numbered, 2,110 subsidiary names of streets were abolished on re-naming or re-numbering the whole street, and 824 new streets have been approved from time to time under the Metro polis al Management Act. In selecting new names of streets, the rule of the board is to adopt such as are not already in use in the metropolis, as far as this can be known, but they complain that the law on the subject is not eufficiently observed by vestries and district (oards, who frequently adopt names for new streets without communicating with the board. The con sequence is, that streets, roads, terraces, squares, and places of the same name are constantly reenmug all over London. The " Post-office Directory for 1666 " gives the following among other results :—London contains 6 streets called Smith-street, 12 Thomas-streets, 14 Gloucester streets (with 9 Gloucester-places,9 terraces, and 6 Glouues ter-roaells), 15 Market-streets, 114 James-streets, 20 George. streets, upwards of 20 Duke-streets, 20 Princes-streets, 21 Union-streets, 25 William-streets, 26 High-streets, 30 Charles-streets, 3i Devonshire-streets, terraces, awl places, 40 Wellington ditto, 40 John-streets, 40 King-streets, and upwards of 30 Queen-streets ; there are 46 Park - streets, places, terraces, and roads; the nano Victoria occurs 40 times in the " London Street Directory," including 4 streets, ri terraces, 9 roads and 6 places, sod the name Albert, occurs about as often. York, a very favourite street name, occurs 60 times. There are 14 West-streets, 12 East-streets, 17 South-streets, end 21) North-streets in the metropolis ; 85 thoroughfares designated " Great,"and 118 designated" Little" (there are as many as 8 Little George-streets alone), and there are 50 Lower-streets, and the large number of 139 Upper-streets 1 1 in the modern Dabylon. These names have been abolished in a number of instances by the regulations of the recent act. It is worth every one's while to know the , following facts touching the miming of streets and the numbering of h o uses. St. Paul's cathedrals recognised as a central point, and the numbering of houses begins at the end of the street nearest to that building. Taking, therefore, the sides of the streets as right and left (assum ing the hack to be towards St. Paul's) the odd numbers will h e assigned to the loft, and the even numbers to the right hand side. No name is to be used for a street unless with the approval of the board, and the name must be one consisting, if possible, of one word, with the addition of " street," or " road," as the case may be, not already in use in the street nomenclature of the metropolis. Only such streets as are haling thorough fares of considerable length can be designated " roads." Lastly, name for terraces, or places, or other blocks of houses, and sections of streets, and usually known as sub sidiary names, will nut he recognised ; nor such names us are already in use for provincial towns and postal places. If persona about to build would give attention to these directions it would facilitate the labours of the board and tend greatly to simplify our street arrangements.—Building Yews. There is much speculation even already (says our Dublin correspondent) with respect to the probable suc cessor to the Irish Mastership_ of the Rolla. Baron Pita gerald's name is most naturally connected with the vacant equity judgeship, but in the event of his Is iug disinclined to accept it, the transfer to the Rolls of B. ron Hughes, who had large experience of the court when a practising barrister, is thought not unlikely. Baron Hughes is a Roman catholic of liberal views. The selection of tither of the judges of the Court of Exchequer for the vacant place will make way for a new man, and Mr. George's claims are generally considered paramount when a puinne judgeship is spoken of. There is a family relationship between Baron Hughes and Mr. Morris, 4.C., the Solicitor- GeneraL —Pall Mall Oavate. At a typefounders' feast, held at the Crystal Palace, on Saturday, Mr. Caslon mentioned the curious fact that matrices from punches originally cut by William Callon in 1725 were now taken down for daily use, after having been laid aside since 1772 as obsolete—nearly 50 l'eistettelLtrheetir 57Agintasventetiofnor—lorCLiitlf3utir.ilnl.fe..eslon; w necessary consequence of the greater popularisation of art in our times—the ' old-faced type' had come to be re garded as the moat elegant letters within the range of typcgrayby."

The following communication from an official source was made public yesterday :—" It wag hoped that by this time the pie announcement would have been made that the Preston k had resumed its operations ; but though the committee have 'pared no exertions to bring this about, we are sorry to learn that a degree of disappointment is now being felt, arising entirely few from the unwillingne of a number of creditors—and • very u large ones—to assent to the terms proposed. Some nuke one excuse and some another, and as the com mittee are d eterm i n ed to act upon eats ground, if this stubbornness remains, and the affairs of the bank, after all, have to be wound up by order of the Court of Chancery . , the public, at any rate, will know to whom they are indebted for this catastrophe. A meeting of share holders Is called for Saturday, to ratify and make legally binding the resolution that no shares shall be transferred till the last instalment is paid ; and this certainl y . ought to remove the scruple of the most timid as to signing the agreement.
