General Moequera, ex-President of the Republic, has accepted the appointment of envoy to England.

The cultivation of cotton in Ambaletna was attracting much attention. A large undertaking, bearing the title of the Merchant Shipping Company (Limited) has been introduced through the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited) and the Credit Mobi liar (Limited), by whom subscriptions will be re ceived. The object is to acquire the celebrated shipping business founded by the late Mr. S. F. Somas, in conjunction with his brother, the late Mr. Joseph Somas M.P., and since continued by Messrs. Somas Brothers, the present vendors. The fleet to be purchased comprises eighteen vessels now employed in the East India, China, and Aus tralian trades, together with the freehold graving docks on the Thames at Poplar, and the plant. With regard to the terms of purchase, the paragraph in the prospectus is as follows : "The terms upon which the whole of the fleet of vessels, graving docks and plant, are to be taken by the company are most fair and liberal, and in perfect harmony with the high reputation of the vendors, they having agreed to the whole being taken at a valuation, to be made by four competent surveyors, two of which will be nominated by Messrs. Some@ Brothers, and two by the company, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill has been fixed at • very moderate price, and which will include all the accruing freights on the ships, work in the yards, &c." The business has been estab lished between 60 and 70 years. The direction is highlyrespectable, and includes, besides the Messrs. Some. Brothers, two directors of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), one director of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), one director of the English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company (Limited), and several other mercantile names.

The report of February showed that a basis had been laid last year for au extensive sad profitable business, bet the rapid progress which has since been made io developing the pros pects of the bank has greatly exceeded the expectations of suers then formed, and the board are of opinion that, by a judicious a:Minion of capital, the bank will very soon occupy • most influeetial position, and at the same time cautious to afford good profits to the shareholders.

They have appropriated 71W. 13s. 10d. in reduction of preliminary expenses, and 1,0001. towards the formation of a reserved fond, leaving • hawses of 5301. 15e. Id. to be carried over. The only serious impediment which the directors have en. countered in conducting the hairiness has arisen from the smallsem of the available capital ; and, from the experience which they now have gained, they feel satisfied that if they had bad more ample meson at commead they could have ex- Seeded their operations to great advantage. Entertaining them views, the dire:icon have been rambled to arrange terms for an amalgamation with another company, by which the bank's capital will be doubled, end facilities will thus be afforded for calling up such an amount as will amble the heard to complete the circle of business oentreisg is Mar seilles, and open op anew field of operations in eonnesiou with the large trade growing oat of the new hiteroatiooal We are informed that the prospectus will shortly be hustled of the London and West India Exchange Bank (Limited), which, the promoters state, "has been organised on the foundation of special banking Privilellek" The report of the directors of the London and I Lisbon Corkwood Company (Limited), to be pre sented at the adjourned annual meeting on Use 11th inst., states that the surplus of profit, after deducting the half-yearly dividend paid in February last, is 5,450 t. 123. 11d., and recommends a dividend of bs. per share, free of income tax, far the last six months.

The CHAIIIMAII, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed a hope that the state of the bank would be con sidered satisfactory. It was very little, indeed, from what the directors knew of the business of the company, to pre dict that the future dividends would be at least equal to that which wee now about to be declared. The motion was agreed to ; and a dividend was made as recommended by the board. A vote of 501. to the auditors was also pawed.

When it was remembered that the paid-up capital of the bank on the Ist January last, amounted to but 69,523/., it could not be otherwise than satisfactory to the proprietors to find the business in so healthy and promising a condition.

A SERVANT GIRL SNOT DRAD.—Great conster nation was created on Saturday io the neighbourhood of Tynypark, Glamorgaosbire, in consequence of its becoming known that a young woman named Sarah Morgan, who re sided as a domestic strews with the family of Mr. Edward Morgan, Tynypark Farm, had been shot dead with a gun by a young man, George Johnson, who was in the service of Mr. Bellingham, a the same neigh bourhood. It would seem that Johnson had been on friendly terms with the deceased, and, according to the opinion of some, sweethearting had been going on between them. Be that an it may, it is certain that there was a friendly intimacy between them, such as happily forbids any sus picion of malice in the terrible catastrophe. On the morning of the occorrsoce the deceased and Johnson were nostrum( in one of the rooms of his master's house, when he playfully but most incautiously took up a gun, pointed it at her bead, sod in the belief that the banal was empty pulled the trigger. To his horror he heard the report of the piece, and saw the unhappy girl fall bleeding and deed before him. Nothing could unpins the state of frantic exciternett into which the tragic occurrence threw the poor fellow. He declared that had there been a mooed barrel he would have at mos shot himself ; and there is little doubt that, had the gun been a double.barrelled one, arid both barrels loaded, he would have ucrificed his own life as well. As it was, upon getting a little calmer he gave himself into the hands of Jams, of the county constabulary, by whom he was detained in custody. The con stable forwarded immediate intelligence of the Ind event to the coroner, Mr. J. M. Davis, who issued his warrant summoning an inquest. The evideace made it clear that the death of the poor girl was entirely accidental, and the jury found a verdict " Homicide by misadventure." Johnson, who in the circle in which be moves, is much re spected, was at once released from custody.

His lordship, who was accompanied by General Lyon, Mrs. Lyons, and erre& other ladies, came out and thanked the people heartily for this token of their goodwill towards himself and his family. The tremendous cheering which greeted these remarks made the welkin ring, and long life and good health were invoked co his lordship and every member of his family, indivi dually and oollectively. Whoa the cheering had somewhat subsided, General Leese, in •vi re appropriate speech, re tuned thanks for the warmth of feeling manifested by the people, and the true judgment and good taste which were displayed io expressing it. The trial which bad just been brought to such a happy issue for Lord Avoomore's family was not one in which a hasty decision had been given. No; every feature sad circumstance of that ex traordinary one had been sifted to the very bottom by the wisest beads of the three kingdoms. For four long years the eyes of the civilised world had been looking on it with interest, and, now that judgment had been given. it could not be said by any that that judgment was not a righteous oae, and he felt assured that it was one which met the ap proval of every Irishman whose heart was in the right ' pion The general, who was repeatedly interrupted by deafening cheers, concluded his address by wishing health and happiness to all assembled. Dewing was then begun to the strains of the bagpipe, and all joined the merry ring which was kept up with spirit till after midnight, General Lyons and the ladies mixing freely with the people. Ref reshrents were supplied by order of Lord Accomore.—Nreagis Guardian.

Tag DROUGHT AND TIN EFFECTS IN YORKSHIRE.— Daring the past week a general emtplaint has mimeo in the corn-growing districts of this county that the wheat sad oat crops are extensively invested with black lice. Them appear in myriads in some places, and are laid to prey ler elusively up,o the ears of the core. The crops aujoising the quickest hedges are the worst, the middle of the fiside befog oomparatively free. It is supposed Chilies have ham generated owing to the lengthened drought, Judi:maidens. hie anxiety is felt by moat fanners lest their presence may still more injure the crops, which are already estimated as being one-fourth lighter than last year, and are to some ex tent prematurely ripeaing from want of vain. Indeed there is every names to suppose that the harvest will be begun next week. There are some farmers who treat the lies plague lightly, and think the wheat crop will prove mast light, but very good in quality. Barley does not appear to be touched by this insect plague, but is paerally spokes of as light, but promising in quality. Beans and tarsi's have made no prsgress last week ; indeed, the latter email to have gone back, and in some of the East Riding districts (where no rain worth mention has fallen this year) the crop has humane so burnt up that the fields ere hair ploughed out for summer fellows for wheat sowing early ma the &mums. This, of course, will cense a serious deficiewsy in the winter's 'apply of meat. The hay crop was Boyar better secured, but now that the harvest is completed the yield is said to be only ball the average. Hay is rain rapidly in price, and farmers are looking with satiety I. the prospects of scarcity, or at least deems, of fodder in the coming winter. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN DZVONSIIIRL Harvest operation@ have become general throughout the soothers and midland pertieas of the county, and even in the north many a field at early grain has been cut. Tie wheat is on the whole well kerued, and there appe.rs to he a general impemaion that the yield will be about an amino one. The weather threaghout last math wee hot ma ' forcing, and harvest is about a week earlier them usual. Oats promiaa well, but the barley oe some leads would have bees better for a little more rain. During the past w,. k some refreshing showers have fallen, which have much heneeitted our scorched-np pastures, as well as the root crops gam rally. More rain is, however, mach seeded, especially for the late sown turnip.
