Tne fine weather of the last few days has caused the supporters of the high duty to rally main, and it was quoted at the market on Thursday at 320,00 W. ClinitT.—The hope in this parish are mouldy.

The go yield la some grounds is about one toe per sere. ROLYINDIN.—The hops io this parish come down to our expatiations with regard to the number of bushe!,, but weigh light. The red rust and the mould are fast increasing, and it is probable that many gardens will scarcely ha wont' picking. WATIIRINOBOII7.—Pirkika is going on very well at present, but not very fast; and it is expected that it will l, last another three weeks. The yield is large. In some rinds they have kept their colour very well, but in otham nre turning brown. 107.11•71 (Lowaa DiVIIIOI4 07).—1n the plantations I comprised in this stistrict picking is now ia full operation. The hops, g Ily, come down short of expectation ; but &aware exceptions, however, where they do more than was empinted. Most grounds are found light at the male, wanting from 100 to 130 bushels the pocket. YieLDll4O AND WIST FAILLZIOIL—The hops here come down quite equal to expectation, both as to quantity and qualify. The foggy nights and hot days, however, will soon desftcy the colour, and render hops of the best description seared. Lim also aro on the increase. Hop flies are now swarming in the air, and on the plants —a goodly provost Ise the neat pear.—Monisforte Journal. Daring the past and present week hop picking has bum general about the neighlnurhood of Retford, whale red and heavy crops have been gathered, very mach to the surprise of old and experienced hop growers.

(1110111 • ADMIRALTY, Barr. 22. Despotslus, of which the following are copies, have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, But., 0.C.8., hiajesty 'a oldie and Teasels in the Buick ise. of bar Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Sept.lo. 81r,—Of the operations on shoes, which have pro dosed the successful result of the siogular and un monble siege of Set:metope), her Majesty'. govern ment will tas informed by General Simpeon ; but it is my duty to report to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty what has taken place afloat and on the sea board under my own observation. It had been arranged by Generals Simpson and Peleliu, Admiral Brasil and myself, that precisely at noon on the Bth inst. the allied fiesta should open fire ups the Quarantine batteries that enfiladed the swank of the semulting plasm ; Ibat unfortu osely the weather, whisk bed been flee for moms days, changed on the morning of the attack, and a north-west gale and heavy sea rendered it impoi- Bible for any vessels to act upon batteries situated on the lee shore of this exposed roadstead. It will, bower, appear by the iackosed reports from Cap tain Wilcox, of the Odin, and Captain Digby. of the Royal Marine Artillery (whom, as well as the junior officers mentioned by them, I beg leave particularly to recommend to the favourable consideration of their lordship), that the mortar vessels attached to the fleets kept up a very effective fire from their position in the Bay of Strelitska. As the day closed, things in the harbour seemed to be in the same state as they were in the morning, but during the night several heavy explosions were heard, and at dawn we observed that the fortifica tions on the south side were in flames, and that the six remaining ships of the line had been sunk at their moorings, leaving afloat no more of the late Russian Black Sea Beet than two disunited corvettes and nine steamers, most of which are very small. Soon afterwards the enemy were seen retreating across the newly-oonstructed bridge, until the south aids of the harbour, os which the naval and military arsenals, the public buildings, and the town of Sebas topol are situated, appeared to be completely eva cuated, and then the southern portion of the bridge was hauled over to the north share. It is now my pleasing duty to render justice to the admirable conduct of all whom I have had the honour and happiness to command during the lest nine months of this arduous struggle, and whose duties I shared in before; for although, with the exception of the Naval Brigade in the camp, whose gallant bearing from the beginning under the cam. wand of Sir Stephen Lusbington, has been beyond all praise, and never more so than during the last two bombardments under the command of the Hoe. Captain Heppe!, it has not fallen to the lot of the navy on this occasion to perform distinguished deeds of arms such as those of their gallant brethren in the army ; still, whilst straining every nerve, night and day, under very trying circumstances, to supply the means for carrying on the siege, in the glory of which they could not share, the generous cheer of encouragement, unalloyed by envy, has always been heartily given in the day of triumph; nor have sympathy and assistance ever been wanting in the hour of distress and suffering; the same sentiesests have pervaded all ranks—captains, officers, searness, and marine% all agreeing with each other in following, asl believe I have said ones before, the excellent example set them by my able second in command and coadjutor Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart. Perhaps in closing this letter I may be permitted to indulge in the expression of the gratification I feel in reflecting that under all the circumstances to which it relates, my gallant colleague, Vice-Admiral Brest, and I have gone heart and hand together, and that the most perfect understanding and hearty co-ope ration in the great cause of humanity in which we are all engaged, have iovariably prevailed through. out both fleets.—l am, &c., (Signed) EDMUND LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. To the Secretary of the Admiralty. SueUtak& Bay, September 8, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to report that, is punt. ante of the orders which I received from you this morning, I opened fire from the mortar vessels, at 8.30 a.m., upon the Quarantine Battery, and a general and more rapid fire, from noon until 7 p.m., upon the Quarantine Battery and Fort Alexander. The two outward vessels were much exposed to the swell which set into the bay, rendering a large object desirable, and I therefore directed their fire between Artillery Bay . and the Bastion de Quarantine, where I had been informed that Russian reserves were I placed. The force of the wind and heavy swell which prevailed were singularly unfavourable to accuracy, and the general satisfactory nature of the firing was due to the ability exercised by the officers of Royal Marine Artillery who conducted it: and I beg to submit to your notice the names of First Lieute nant Starr, First Lieutenant Hewett, First Lieute nant Brookes, First Lieutenant Festiag, and First Lieutenant Pitman, the officeraemployed. The non-commissioned officers and gunners also performed their duties in a most satisfactory manner; and I may especially mention the services of Colour- Sergeant Horner, who, in the absence of an officer, undertook the firing of the Firm, mortar vessel. Owieg to the state of the weather, and the small ness of the means at their disposal, the officers in command bad to overcome great difficulties in main taining the position of their vessels ; and I beg to be ' allowed to express my high opinion of the services of Messrs. Lest, Creagh, and Pearson, Brent, Hart, and Vaughan (Mates), who so ably performed these duties, and greatly contributed to the success of the firing.—l have, &c., (Sigited) G. DIGBY, Captain Royal Marilee Artillery. Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, But., &c. Her Majesty's ship Odin, Off Sebastopol, Sept. 8. Sir, I have the honour to acquaint you that, acting in pursuance of your directions, and in conjunction with Captain Beam, commanding four French mortar-vessels, you did me the honour of placing under my command, till 7 p.m., against the Quarantine Fort and outworks, u well u upon Fort Alexander and the upper bastions (where, near to the latter place, a large number of the enemy's reserve were posted), keeping their fire so completely under that only a few shot and shell were retur .ed, and but few fired into the French battery and ad vanced works before as. A small number of carcases. were also sucoesslully thrown into the town and upper beation,which produced a conflagration of some extent. To Captain Digbv, Royal Marine Artillery, and the artillery officer in each vessel, I must attribute the eeocessful practice, and I am glad of the opportunity of bringing to your notice the inde fatigable and zealous conduct of Mr. H. K. Legit, mate, in charge of the Firm, who, from being the senior officer of the mortar vessels, has always ably carried out my instructions ; and I am happy to bear testimony to the prai seworthy conduct of Murry. J. B. Crugh, T. Pearson, H. W. Brent, A. F. Hart, and Henry Vaughan, mate., in charge of the other mortar vessels. I have also ggreat putasure in stating that no easnalty occurred, and that neither the mortals or LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1855. vessels were at all damaged by the heavy firing.— I have, &e.

It seems probable that he may rule undisturbed by the opposition of a rival claimant. The political horizon is unchanged : all parties are on the tester-hooks of ex pectation, and anxiously bend their eyes to catch some of those forecast shadows which mark the coming events of the new reign; but his Majesty, although possessed of undoubted parts and opacity, sedulously keeps his own counsels, not even admit tieg his father, Dom Fernando, to be the confidant of his intentions. It is said that he has besides great firmness sad decision of character ; and this, coupled with as impression that be has already framed a line of policy, causes all parties to watch the Jesus of events with attention. At 8 a.m. there was an extraordinary miss of both Chambers at the Cortes, and soon dam Pedro V., aceoinpanied by the Eing-Reheat a** tbe royal falsity, entered. The King-Regent them U Minneed an allocution to the swath:Ll whisk be flitemide his Mlles to the as ambled Paste and Dep lu tr uliali The Holy Evangelists were then given to the King by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, who was 'imported by two noble youths, and the following forts of oath was sainiaistered--" I swear to main tain the catholic and apostolic religion and the in tegrity of the kingdom • to observe and to cause to be maintained the politi cal conatitation of the Ports• pees nation, and all the other laws of the kingdom, aad to promote the general good of the nation, as far as in me lies." The King then addressed the assembly, and in a long oration gave assurance of his fealty to the terms of his oath, and that nought on his part should be wanting to render hie reign of benefit to his people. The royal standard was thee unrolled, and the Patriarch, in a ism address, congratulated his Majesty on his seemed= to the throne, and at the end proolaimed three times in a loud voice that Dom Pedro V. was I become King of Portugsl. After the high officers of the crown had made their reverences, his Majesty and the royal cortege, brilliantly equipped and accom panied by the nobility and foreign ministers, proceeded to the cathedral, where a grand Te Dews wee anat. The cortege from the cathedral passed to the Commercial-square, where the keys of the city were resented to the King, in a magnificent tem porary pavilion, by the President of the Municipal Chamber, which terminated the ceremonial. All th at Lisbon owns of rank and beauty wen congregated within the old conventual walls of the Cortes ; and when the King was proclaimed, the air was rent by acclamations. The Commercial. Naar* woe beautifully decorated with hundreds of flags sad trophies. At night, when illuminated with transparencies and jets of gas, its appearanse l was dazzling. In Idle evening the King went inl state to the theatre of Donna Maria 11. The glorious news of the capture of the maw.. Tower was brought by the steamer Madrid, the Spanish overland mails being behind time. It excited great enthusiasm among the English residents sad many of the Portuguese, whose sympathies, with the exception of a few of the adherents of Don Miguel, are with the allies on this question. The subsequent notice of the taking of the south side el Sebastopol was communicated to the government by the land telegraph from Madrid, and served to ea. halm the general rejoicings of the proclamation. The differences between the Central Penises. lar Railway Company and Messrs. Shaw and Waring Brothers, the contractors, are still un settled, the works being prosecuted under proteet by . the government, whose interests ap pear identical with those of the company. It is, however, the general opinion that a compromise will be made sooner or later. Messrs. Shaw and Waring Brothers' workmen are still paid by them, although they are without employment; it is also said that they have carried their case to the British chargé d'affaires and Sir R. Pakenham, and that it will be represented to the Foreign-office without delay. Many conflicting rumours are afloat respect ing the nature of the misunderstanding between the parties. The steam tug Sultana put in for orals, but has again left for the East. The Minpho, screw steamer, has arrived from Liverpool. Her Majesty's screw steamer Sanspareil arrived on the 15th, and coaled. She was bound south; but, as the Neptune did not appear, she was detained by the British minister to do the honours, in case that vessel should be delayed. The Neptune and Rosamond however arrived yester day morning, and their guns added greatly to the salvos of artillery, being clearly distinguishable. The Rosamond leaves for Spithead this afternoon with a mail. The others stay here a few days before going south. The French war steamer Newton is also hers. Her Majesty's ship St. George and the war steamer Malacca arrived on the afternoon of the 17th instant. Sines the arrival of the Brazil mail some paper has been negotiated on London at 5460 days, and 64i, 90 days, at which rates money still offers. Some holders of bills held out for 641 at 90 days; bat at this rate nothing of any importance has been done. On the continent the rates continue as per last packet. But little paper is offered. The rates are : Hemburg, 3 months, 48/ ; Paris, 100 days, 530; Genoa, 3 months, 528 ; Amsterdam, 3 mouths, 43. PRUSSIA. A lettsr from Berlin of the 19th says: The discharge of wen, is coassqueses of the redaction o t the army. has commenced differeat corps ; nearly 400 of each regiment will be discharged, so that the redactioa will be considerable. The Queen left yesterday for the provisos of Saxony, to join the King. The sales of horses which are taking plies by order of the government have imaged such a heavy fall Is the value of sash animals that thin are now hardly worth one-half of what they were at the beginning of the ye.r. AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter of Sept. 18, in Toss's Gasette, says : " Yesterday Prince Gortchakoff had a conference &tithe Idioistry for Foreign Affairs—a rather remark able circumstance, since Prince Gortchakoff is very I seldom seen at this ministry. He communicated to Baron de Verner (in the absence of Count Buol) the contents of a despatch brought to him on Sunday evening by a courier from Warsaw." THE ZOIIATE AND HIS W.—The Gasslie de Lyon the 19th, states that among the numerous wounded salmon just arrived there, a soldier of the 2ad Somme' 'halted particular attentiou.

To the Secretary of the Admiralty. Royal Naval Brigade, Before Bebsstopol, Sept. 9. Bir,—l have the honour to inform you that, in ce of instructions, a vigorous fire was opsmd thefrom l i batteries at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 7th, and was maintained throughout the day ; the fire was recommeneed yesteeday morning trlth increased vigour, preparatory to an assault to be made by our allies on the Malakhoif, and subsequently by ourselves on the Redan. 2. At noon the French were observed to start en I masse from their trenches and possess themselves in gallant style of the Malakhoff Battery, on which the tricolor flag was hoisted and the imperial eagles planted within ten minutes of their quitting their trenches. 3. The French flag was no sooner displayed on the Malakhoff than our storming party issued from their trenches and assailed the salient angle of the Bedan, but the enemy were by that time prepared to meet them, and as the supporting party advanced, a heavy fire of grape and canister was opened on them, in spite of a brisk fire kept up from our batteries on all parts of the Itedan not assailed, as well as on the flanking batteries. 4. After maintaining the footing they had pined for some time, our troops were obliged to retire, the killed and wounded left on the ground sufficiently testifying bow gallantly they had fought. 8. The fire from our batteries was kept op until dark, and at about eleven o'clock the enemy evacuated the Roden after having fired a train that exploded the magazines. G. This morning's light showed how successful cad complete had been the victory pined by the allied farces. 7. The enemy had evacuated all their positions on the south side of the harbour ; the town, Fort Nico lai, Fort Paul, and dockyard, were in flames, and their line of battle ships had been sunk in the positions they were last seen in when at anchor. 8. The conduct of the officers and men of the bri gade under my command has been such as to continue to merit the high opinion you have been pleased to expri as of them. 9.

Nicolsla will probably be in future the head quarters of the Black Sea fleet, and the different naval establishments connected with it. It begins now to be apparent that Sebastopol was too far off and isolated from all support in the rear to form the advanced post of the Russian navy, and that its de fence must be difficult as soon as the fleet are unable to co-operate. It now becomes the prolgem for the present Emperor to solve, to reinstate Russian supe riority in the Black Sea—if he can. It is generally stated here that in future no sailing ships are to be built, and that the new Russian navy will cos. alit exclusively of steamers, among which are to be several of 131 guns, so as to be • match for the Dukes[ Wslliogtoo, the Royal Albert, and the Marlborough. Bash a one has been already laid down, and is on the steaks at Nicolaieff, besides which blockshipr, float fag batteries, and light draught screw gunboats have bees ordered to be built. An unusual activity pre vails in in the dockyards and arsenals in the Bald.. and the High Admiral (Grand Duke Constantine) is paying particular attention to the organisation of ' an effective corps of naval engineers and mechanics both for the Baltic and the Black Sea. For the head quarters of the latter Sebastopol was originally in tended to be selected; now, in consequence of recent events, Nicolaieff will probably be the place. The immense distances the new levies of recruits have to travel to reach their destinations, and join the corps to which they belong, has induced the Minister of the Crown Domains to propose to the government that in future the recruits from Kirilow end Choripow shall not be obliged to travel the 600 miles distance to Novgorod, but shall report them selves to the recruiting commission at the much nearer station of the capital of the province of Wologda. Prince Gortchakoff's order of the day to his troops after the battle of the Tchernays is dated the 17th of August, and says : "Though it pleased the Almighty not to crown our efforts yesterday with success, it has served to give a fresh proof of the traditional bravery of Russian soldiers. All hindrances and difficulties vanished before your impetuous charge like weak reeds, and you have proved to the enemy that no fortifications on earth can protect them from the reach of your bayo nets. Soldiers, you have gloriously sustained in yesterday's combat the unsullied honour of our arms, and it is my sacred duty to communicate it to the Emperor, oar august monarch. By virtue of the power confided to me by the Czar, I have already rewarded several of you with marks of distinction and honour for extraordinary proofs of bravery. (Here follow the names.) Act always as you did yea terday, and if your efforts are not crowned with success, be sure the Emperor will not fail to recognise sad reward your valour and courage." A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 12th,. as. pounces the departure the day before of the Emperor Alexander and a numerous suite for Moscow by railway. His Majesty was accompanied by the Empress Dowager and the reigning Empress. Count Nesselrode has remained at St. Petersburg. During the absence of the Emperor, the direction of all affairs of importance is confided to the Grand Doke Constantine. This journey is stated to be made with considerable pomp; and the present intention of the Emperor appears to be to leave his imperial consort at Moscow on his return, and then to proceed to the army of TIMM in New Russia.

" I am directed by the committee to state to your lordship, inreply, that since the despatch of their letter of the 7th ult. they bare received additional information in regard to the more recent and notorious case of Adrianople, from which it appears, on the authority of Mr. Zenop, one of tbe native usistants to the American miationtries, a trust worthy witness, who was at Adrianople at the time of the execution ' That it was known to everybody, and in every body's mouth ; and that all said that it wee toe a remands tiois of Mohammed, and not a syllable was lisped of his (i. e., the sufferer) having been guilty of any ether crime ; and that, after the event, he saw and conversed with some of the companions of the victim, who said that he was beheaded for rejecting Mohammei.'

"The committee, therefore, have a very strong conviction that the execution was on account of apostasy, and that the charge of blupbemy, to quote the words of Lord Strati toed de Redeliffe, in his recent despatch to your lordship ' may be a mere pretest to mask the application of the old usrepealed law.'

The anxiety here to become acquainted with the details of the assautt of Sebastopol is most intense. There has been nothing like it in the history of the war. When the telegraph announced the capture of the Mslakhoff, tbe failure at Ike Roden. mid the evacuation of Sebutopol by the Russians, the inhabitants wets overjoyed ; but as the fall significance of the stupendous victory became undet stood, sad the people ralseted on the fearful struggle. by which it was accomplished, there was a craving to leers the particulars of the shuck of armies on the glorious Bth, such as has been noticed before. When it was announced that the Telegraph steamer had left Balaklava with di spatches on the 11th beta were made as to when she could ar rive at Marseilles, when her despatches would get to Ludoe, sad when her news could reach Southampton. The time that it would take before the despatches could be read in Southampton was estimated in hours. At length came the graphic descriptions in the London papers of the bombard ment, the terrific prelude to the grand assault, and the mightiest exhibition of destructiveness by human .geney that the world had ever known. As soon as intelli gence reashed here that the Telegraph steamer had reached at Marseilles, every day the London morn ing and evening papers were most eagerly *ought after, and nothing scarcely was heard bet the ever laming question, Have the despatches arrived ? " At length eases General Simpson's deepen:44lM this sow Needy failed to satisfy public 'sneaky and analisentatie, and she desidpeigne el the Lewdest assempeper ewer @peeped' of the assault oa the Mahatma and the Ream, and the state of Sebastopol are anticipated with the most absorbing interest. People here are feverishly anxious to know every minutia how the Northern Coheres was over thrown, and how the great blow was struck at the gigantic foe of civilisation and 'the world's peace—bow Frenchmen sad Rogliatunen, fighting side by side, captured the mighty fortreas, and rivalled, in their contempt of death, and in their prowess and bravery, the patriots and heroes of antiquity. SEBASTOPOL AT THE POLYTECHNIC. There is now on vim at the Polytechnic Institu tion, Regeototrec, a new model of the town and fortifica tions of Sebastopol, with the siege works of the allies. A model enables the fops' finial features of the country to be represented with much greater truthfulness, and the male of this (wwe, inches to a mile) admits of considerable minuteness of detail. The area embraced extends eastward beyond Tchorgoun, and northward to the Belbek, so that no point of interest is omitted. Starting from the Quaran tine Inlet and Bsttery, the eye takes in successively Kamieach, the monastery of St. George, Balaklava (whence It follows the course of the railway), Hadikoi, the seams of the memorable light cavalry charge, the advanced positions of the British and Sardinians at Kamera and Tcborgour, the rivers Tehernaps and Cholla, the Traktir Bridge and the ravine down which the Russians came in their last attack, the Mackensie road, winding along the precipitous sides of steep bills and commanded by numerous batteries, the Inkermann lights, and the Star Fort and its out works, the point upon which public interist is at present centred. Berry fort and earthwork, and every division of the besieging forces, are represented, the nationality of the latter being made clearly dis tinguishable by the different colours. The headquarters of Marshal Pelissier and 0 1 Simpson are marked by the flags of their respective countries. The eye of every visitor seeks the ilalakhoff Tower, and the immense advan tage the poseeesion of that redoutable fort gave the allies is apparent at once, without a very deep knowledge of military engineering and tactics. The points of moot interest at the present moment, however, end the more so as the events of the was hays nut yet made us acquainted with them, are the Star Fort and its surrounding earthworks, and the formidable batteries which command the narrow and steep road leading from the Traktir Bridge to Mackensie's Farm, and thence to the north side. The new model is the work of Mr. Holmes, master of the National School, at Stansted, Roses, who studied the best authorities for the purpose, and upon whoa* talent iu this department of art it reflects great credit. It is a present to the institution, and occupies the place of the former model, executed by Sergeant Falkland and Corporal Thomas, of the Royal Happen and Miners, Woolwich; which, having become, in the progress of the war, rather obsolete as regards the poaltioce of the allied forces, ka been removed to another room. FEARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION. On Wedneeday morning, about eight o'clock, a boiler . belonging to the colliery at Kibblesworth, near lainesley, suddenly exploded, destroying one man, and seriously scalding and injuring several others. A short time before eight o'clock, John Bewley, to whom was en trusted the charge of the boilers, finding, as is alleged, something wrong in the boiler No. 2, proceeded to examine it, and while standing on the top, it exploded with a lethal: force, carrying the unfortunate man high into the air, and hurling him a distacce of nearly 200 yards from the pit. One of the bauksmen was blown over the bank a consider able distance, and a brakes:man into the engine-house. Three firemen were severely scalded ; while several workmen about the pit were more or less injured, but not seriously. The bode of the boiler opened out, at the time of the explosion, like a fan—was carried over the top of the engine-hound ultimately landed in the adjoining field, while one end of the boiler was hurled over the blink, and the other a few yards beyond where the body of poor Bewley was found. Thee were six boilers in all, two of which were moved out of their beds several yards. The body of Bewley was not much dis figured; but from the deep indentation made on the soil on the spot where it fell, it was evident he must have been blown a great height into the sir. Part of the boiler, weighing between two and three tons, was blown upwards of a hundred yards from the place where the explosion oc coned. It was cylindrical in shape-28 feet in length, by 5 feet 6 inches in breadth—and was considered a most sub stantial boar?. The workman blown ever the pit bank is considerably injured in various parts of his body; and the other four men are dreadfully scalded, but hopes are enter lased of their recovery. On the following day an inquest wu commenced at Ouston, but was adjourned. It is conjectured by some of the workmen, that Bewley, finding the boiler shortof water, bad attempted hcatily to supply it, and hence the sad catas trophe. The deceased was a single man, aged 26, and wee a steady workman.—Ne wcastle Courant. THE .—OFRIENDLY SOCIETIES rous mostioAND MR.

Mr. Russell's colleague and junior parlor of the new Independent Chapel, in King-street, Yarmouth, was preaching on the narra'ive of our Lord's casting out devils from the man whose dwelling was among the tombs. The minister dwelt largely on the man's being literally possessed with devils, and tutu expulsion by the voice of the Son of God. The feeling of the congregation was highly wrought upon, as was manifested by tie fixed attention and stillness of the audience, when suddenly the lobby door was thrown open, and in rushed a man in dark clothes, with his face blackened. He ran along the aisle of the chapel, and began to ascend the pulpit stairs. A aimultaneoes shriek of horror and dismay was heard from several female'. Some fainted, and many made for the doors ; the minister and gentlemen present for a moment seemed nanictitrieken. The " Gentle man in Black " was, however, soon captured mid handed over to the police, who conveyed him to the station. The charge foll ow ing morning, and the representative of "his Samna was heard before the borou g h magistrate s on the Majesty " was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with bard labour.

SCHOOL PRIZES, LONGEVITY, AND MATRIMONY. — In Mr. Tennant's very carious statistical paper tie a Glasgow High School Clue, of sizty_yeen ago, there are very sin. gular results brought out. The class consisted of 115 boys originally, cvd of these only 26 are now alive, being about one-fourth of the original number. Out of the 115, GO bad got prises, or about one. half ; bat of these 60, co less than 20 are among the survivors, constituting within six of the entire number. This is very remarkable, and would go to show that there is a more intimate relation between good, clever boys at school, and longevity, with success in after life, than is generaty believed. But it is really shocking to find that twelve out of the 26 survivors are bachelors • and we are almost afraid to follow out the inference which may be deduced by some 'malicious, crabbed ftection of humanity from these figures. I,e t us, therefore, hope that the High School Class is an exceptional case, and that the &sea musty old bachelors who still live, do so la spite of their having been unmarried, contrary to all general rale and common sense —North British Moil.
