Lord r MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The private telegrams from New York by the steamer North American report a decline in the exchange to 126 k, and the premium on gold to 15i pa. cent. The present mail from Guayaquil has brought a remittance of £332 on account of the Ecuador divi- dends. The half-yearly meeting of proprietors of the Bank of Australasia is called for the 18th inst. The report of the Southampton Dock Company to be presented at the meeting on the 27th inst., states the available balance, including £2,144 from last half year, to be £9,749, out of which a dividend is recommended at the rate of 4 per cent. for the six months, absorbing £7,207, and leaving £2,542 to * be carried forward. A prospectus has been issued of the Cambrian Consolidated Gold Mines Company, with a capital of £150,000, in shares of £2 each. During the past two years certain mines called the Vigra and Clogau, near Dolgelly, in Merionethshire, and which are in the hands of a few persons, have been reported to yield a very large proportion of gold fro m quartz crushing, and much curiosity has 'pre vailed regarding them. It is now stated that in the 19 months from January, 1861, to the present time 7,041 ounces of gold have been obtained from 942 tons of quartz crushed, or at the rate of ounces per ton,—a profit which has amounted to more than double the original outlay upon the undertaking, and whi c h i s s t ea dily' increasing. Some of the principal persons interested in these proceedings have, it appears, since arranged for leases of about 1,500 acres surrounding their own district, and which, according to statements fur nilsbed, are characterized by the same features, and it is for the working of these that the new company is proposed. The consideration is to be £50,000, of which. £25,000 will be in cash, and £25,000 in shares with £1 paid, on which the recipients will be liable to the remaining £l, in common with the other s hareholders. With regard to the state ments of the profits of the two original mines (the Vigra and Clogau), there is no ground for doubt, the figures being positive end the parties connected with them respectable. The proposal to' test the surrounding region, therefore, in the face of the reports furnished by the mining captains employed to examine them, and also of the fact that in Brazil a yield of half an ounce per ton is considered SatiBfactory, seems a fair experiment for those per sons \ who have money to spare, and who have no objecti on to risks of this nature. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a steady demand for discount accommo dation at the Bank rate, which remains at 2 per cent., the directors at their meeting to-day having found it necessary to modify their regulations. The aupplies of money in the hands of the dealers are considerable, while the requirements of the public, although larger than of late, are yet far from ex tensive, but the probability of an adverse effect being produced, by remitt ances on account of foreign oans and other contingencies, induce the banks and discount houses to enforce full terms for the Thusinese they negotiate. An instalment of 15 per cent. becomes due to morrow on the Egyptian Loan of £1,811,040. On the lat proximo a payment of 10 per cent. will be made to the proprietors of the _Liverpool and London Fire and Life Insurance Company on ac ecunt of the year's dividend due March, 1863. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1862. 1861. Great Western....

SHERIFFS' 'OTIRT. (Before Mr. :err.) SINGULAR RUNNING DOWN USE-ASSAULTING THE CABAIA:. BROOKER V. )EXTER This was an action brought iy a cab-proprietor against a carman to recover for certain (images to plaintiff's cab. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintl, having stated the case, added that the defendant's drier, after inflicting the in juries complained of, instead d pulling up, drove rapidly away, and when the cabman aught him and held the horse's head, the carman actualy flogged both the horses and the cabman most severely , and for this assault was summoned, but thought it expedont to settle before going into Court. Plaintiff stated that on the rth July, he was driving through Fetter-lane towards Flet•street, and he saw de fendant's man driving a two bore van coming the reverse way. Defendant's man pulled ott to pass a waggon, and in doing so struck the cab, breakhg it asunder, to the dis comfiture of a fare who was insicb. The carman would not stop until a policeman came up, cad then he did not deny the damage, but said it was an olc cab and not worth any thing. The fare was called, and stated that defendant's driver alone was in fault. Defendant's driver gave a generd denial to the evidence brought against him. Mr. Buchanan—Now, did you lot whip your horses as you passed the cab ? Witness—Yes, I did. His Honour—Well, after that, Mr. Buchanan, I must find for the plaintiff. Mr. Buchanan—After the treatment my client's driver received from the carman, I am instructed to apply for full costs. His Honour allowed the attorney and three witnesses. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-ETREET. BURGLARY. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN. John M'Mahon, a tailor, of 5, South-row, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling of Mr. John Watts, oilman, 31, Greek-street, Soho, and stealing a silver watch, a quantity of candles, soap, and other article.. Wood, 151 C, said about four o'clock that (Thursday) morning while in Greek-street, he saw the fanlight over the shop door of Mr. Watts', oilman, open, and knowing that it had been closed before he suspected that some one had got into the shop by that means. He, immediately finding the shop door last, knocked at the private door, and, while doing so, the prisoner rushed out of the shop door into the street. He seized him, and asked what he was doing in the shop, and he said "Nothing." He then took him into custody. Sergeant Henry Atwell Allen, 20 C, said he found that the prisoner had entered the shop by forcing off the fan light from the hinges. The shop was in a state of great disorder, and near the door were two large bags full o various articles packed up ready for removal. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was there not a light cart close by ? Sergeant Allen—Not in this case The prisoner did not deny doing it. Mr. John Watts, oilman, of 31, Green-street, said he closed up his shop at 11 o'clock, and the plats was then quite safe. He left the fanlight as he had done for the past six months, open a few inches, but not enough for a person to get through. He found the place in the greatest dis order, when called down by the police, and the prisoner had stuck a lighted candle in a cask of oil, and might thus have caused the place to have been burnt down. He also found that he had been feasting on some bread and jam— having consumed half a pot. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for trial. One or two cases of thieves entering shops by means of fan lights being left insecurely fastened have lately come to the knowledge of the police. The screw steam sloop Shearwater, Mr. Petcb, master, went outside Plymouth breakwater on Friday, the Bth inst., for a trial of her machinery, under the supervision of Mr. Batt, master, and Mr. Steel, inspector of machinery afloat, of the steam reserve, and Mr. Ward, from the engineer's depart ment at Keyham ; Mr. W. Milward represented the contractors. This sloop carries 11 guns, is about 669 tons burden, and 160 feet long by 30 broad. She is fu',ly masted and rigged, and draws 12ft, bin. forward, and 14ft. 2in. aft. Her machinery is well arranged. The doors of the furnaces are some 12ft. on the right of the engineer when on the starting platform, from which he can readily control all the operations connected with his duty. The engines, which are hori zonta l di rect act i ng, by Messrs. R. and W. Hawthorn, of Newcastle, are of 150-horse power nominal. The screw shaft is 64ft, 10in. long by Bin. diameter, and the screw (Griffith's) is 10ft. diameter, with a pitch of 13ft. The immersion of upper edge of screw, lft. 9in.; length on the keel, 2ft. 6in. At the trial the wind was from the south west, blowing with a force of from 3 to 6 in squalls, attended by a heavy swell. The revolutions were 95 per minute ; power indicated, 632 horses ; pres sure, 20ib.; temperature of stoke-hole, 79 deg. ; engine-room, 76; and deck, 62. The average speed attained was rather over 9 knots, half boiler power 'revolutions, 68 ; indicated horse-power, 251; speed seven knots. These results were highly satisfactory to the inspecting officers, who expressed their ap probation of the abundant supply of steam from the boilers, and said they considered the construction of the expansion valves (on a new and economical plan) to be simple and well adapted for use in ships of the Royal Navy. The Mersey, 40, screw frigate, Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., having been insp ec t e d b y Capt. Broadhead, ' commanding steam reserve at Portsmouth, was paid off yesterday morning, under the superintendence of that officer at Portsmouth. This vessel, a few years ago the finest frigate in her Majesty's navy afloat, has been in commission upwards of three years, during which time she has been to the vari ous ports of the kingdom as part of the Channel squadron, and all round the West Indies and North American station on special service. Her last cruise was on the coast of Mexico, being at anchor before Vera Cruz for four months, from January to April. It was here that Capt. Caldwell, C. 8., and Mr. Fa well, boatswain, with about 200 men under their orders, performed the daring feat of recovering her H.M.S. Plover, a complete wreck at Alvarado, in five feet of water, with a heavy surf breaking all round her. So well was this service accomplished that the parties engaged received the thanks of the Lords of the Admiralty. Subsequently the Mersey went to Halifax to escape the yellow fever, with which she had been twice visited, conveying on her way 70 officers and 800 Spanish troops to Havana. Perhaps no ship has had a greater influx of royal and noble visitors than the Mersey. Capt. Caldwell has had the honour of receiving at various times his Majesty the late King of Portugal, his Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto (the present King), the royal princes of France, his Imperial Highness the Duke of Saxony, besides many English noble men, &c. Though paying off such a noble vessel must greatly tear and wear every part, still it is wonderful to notice the traces of that exquisite cleanliness and discipline for which she has become ! deservedly celebrated. The main deck can still show to a professional eye remains of the beautiful accuracy with which every part of the equipment was arrayed ; and the upper deck, with its polished maple coamings, brass stanchions, and mahogany gratings, seems still to grapple against those destroy ing angels, the dockyard hammers. While in other ships such a pleasing state of efficiency has been found quite impossible, and in come has provoked mutiny, in the Mersey it has beenproduced- by unre mitting attention on the part of all the officers. After her inspection a few days ago Capt. Caldwell was highly complimented by the Lords of the Admiralty on her efficient state. On paying off, long service medals and gratuities were awarded to Thos. Felt ham, John Yoller, and Hy. Baily, quartermasters, and Geo. Wyatt, boatswain's mate. The officers all wished Capt. Caldwell a hearty farewell, and the crew cheered him on leaving the ship. The gun room officers (privately) presented to the Rev. Mr. Cawston, the chaplain, a handsome pocket com munion service, and they also offered to Mr. Keogh, assistant-paymaster and treasurer of the mess fund, a beautiful piece of plate, which, however, that gentleman politely declined as being against the regulations. The detachment of Marines belonging to the Chatham division proceeded by rail under the charge of Capt. Meheux ; those of the Ports mouth division to Forton, under the charge of Lieut. Silver ; and the Royal Marine Artillery to Fort Cumberland. The Mersey will be placed in the third-class steam reserve at Portsmouth. The Enchantress, new paddlewheel steamer, ar rived yesterday afternoon at Portsmouth, in tow of the Lucifer, under the charge of Commander Stokes. She is sister ship to the Psyche, and is reported to be a very handy vessel. She answered her helm well during the short time she was under canvass on her voyage round from Milford. At present she is intended for a despatch boat. The paddlewheel steam yacht Osborne, Master G. K. Bower, from Portland, arrived yesterday morn ing at Plymouth, with his Grace the Duke of Somer set, First Lord of the Admiralty, Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral E. Eden, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. T. K. Drummond, C. 8., Mr. Whitehead, M.P., and Rear-Admiral Lord C. Paget, C. 8., M.P., First Secretary to the Board. There are also at tt at port Rear-Admiral R. E. Robinson, Controller of the Navy ; Colonel S. T. Greene, Director of Admiralty Works; Capt. Moore, C. 8., private secretary to the First Lord; and Mr. Charles Richards, Controller of Victual ling. The yacht went up Hamoaze, where Port- Admiral Sir Houston Stewart and Admiral Super intendent Sir Thomas Pasley paid their respects to their lordships, who shortly after lanced, and com menced their duties by inspecting the new jetty lately constructed with iron piles at the Devonport dockyard, and then went to other parts of the Ar senal. The paddlewheel steam -vessel Hydra, 6, Captain Douglas, which left Halifax July 23, and arrived in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday afternoon, brings passengers—Capt. Hillyer, late of the Cadmus, Mr. Turner, paymaster of the Challenger, 20 supernu meraries, and three military prisoners. She left at Halifax the screw steamship Nile, 78, Capt. Edward K. Barnard; screw steamship Hero, 80, Captain Alfred P. Ryder ; paddlewheel steam sloop Barra couta, 6, Commander J. Malcolm ; screw steam cor- Tette Cadmus, 21, Capt. Henry S. Hillyer; paddle wheel steam sloop Medea, 6, Commander D'Arcy S. Preston ; and the screw steam corvette Nimble, 5, Lieut. John D'Arcy. The screw steamship Aga memnon, 89, Capt. T. Hope, and the sorew steam ship Aboukir, 86, Captain Charles F. A. Shadwell, C. 8., left Halifax July 23 for Jamaica. The paddle wheel steam sloop Vesuvius, 6, Commander Robert G.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Betsy Sullivan, an orange girl, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from the person of M. Francis Lemasle, a French gentleman, who is at present staying at the Half, Moon Hotel, High-street, Borough. From the evidence of the complainant, who was examined through an interpreter, it appeared that about one o'clock on the previous night he got out of a cab at the door of the Half Moon Hotel, when he was accos ed by the defendant and another female, who asked him for charity. He put his hand into his trousers pocket for the purpose of giving her some money, when she snatched his watch from his pocket and with the other girl ran away. The complainant gave the defendant into custody, but her companion escaped. Police-constable 196 M asked for a remand, as he believed that he would be able to discover the woman who Mid run away. The defendant denied the charge, and was remanded until Saturday, on which day the complainant purposes to return to France. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. WEEKLY AVERAGES.

LONDON AND SOU7H-WESTERN RAIL- WAY COMPANY. HALF-YEARLY MEETING THIS DAY. The adjourned general half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors of this company was held to-day at the offices Waterloo Station. Captain MANGLES, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The report. which has already appeared in The Sun, hav ing been taken as received, The CHAIRMAN said the explanations given at such length in the report rendered it altogether unnecessary that he should detain them for any considerable time. All he proposed to do was to explain certain items in the accounts, and also in the event of its being con sidered necessary to give any explanation that rhight be required, as to the different subjects dealt with in the report. Before, however, he did so he thcugbt, as the authorised mouthpiece of the directors, he might say it was a matter of pleasure to them, and he thought it would be a satisfaction to the shareholders to know that there had been an increase of receipts this half year, and comparing that with the amount received during the same period of 1861, there was an increase in favour of the half-year just closed of £3l,ooo—(hear, hear) — and during the six weeks that have elapsed of the present half -year the excess had continued, for on making comparison with the same period of 1861, there was an increase in favour of the present of no less than £27000, which was at the rate of £4500 per week. He was sure the shareholders would not expect that that increase of income could be secured without an addition to their charges and expenses. (Hear, hear.) He could not leave that portion of his duty without expressing the high estimation in which the directors held the exertions of their able and talented traffic manager, Mr. Archibald Scott. Early and late he was to be found at his post, and it was a matter of surprise how that gentleman was en • abled to get through such an immensity of work—(hear, hear)—but while he had to notice the labours of Mr. Scott, he thought the shareholders would also agree that the other officers of the company had all done their duty to admiration, when the increase of their expenditure was so small as compared with their increased income. (Hear, hear.) The chairman then proceeded to give a detailed explanation of the halt-yearly accounts to June 20, 1861, which showed that the net revenue for that period, after deducting interest on loans and all other preferential charges, amounted to £143,362 lls. 5d., and adding to that sume surplus of December of 1 861 of £l,Oll 10s. 91 ., gave th a balance available for dividend of £144,274 2s. 2d., from which sum the directors recommended that a dividend be declared at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, pay able on the 26th instant. After providing for the dividend, there would be a sum of £252 19s. Bd. The re laying of portions of the permanent way had been continued during the past half year, both on the main and branch lines. The former portion had been completed, and £lO,OOO had been charged to revenue en that account. The work of doubling the Southampton and Dorchester line was pro ceeding as rapidly as was possible. Out of the 60 miles to be accomplished 35 miles had been completed, leaving 25 miles still to be done. The large buildings at present in Progress at Nine Elms, when completed, would enable about three-fourths more work to be turned out from both the locomotive and carriage departments than before the improvements were commenced. The directors, and all persons connected with railways, had great reason, he thought, to complain of the law with respect to that descrip tion of property. With respect to the late unfortunate accident near Wimbledon, after 14 days of the most search ing investigation before a coroner and jury, a verdict of accidental death was returned in the case of the late Dr. Baly, which ho thought was tantamount to an acquittal of the company from blame, yet in another investigation with which they were all, no doubt, acquainted, namely, Ford's case, which was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, a penalty Li ul been inflicted on them as heavy as if they had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with gross negligence. The company, wishing to avoid law as much as possible, had effected compromises in other cases, which he thought, under all the circumstances, would be considered highly favourable to the company. (Hear, hear.) The lamented death of Mr. Errington, their con sulting engineer, was a source of profound regret to the directors. With respect to their difference with the Great Western, on the part of the directors he was desired to say roost emphatically there was on their part the greatest desire for the re-establishment of amicable relations, relations it must injustice be said, the South "Western were not the first to disturb. The same feeling he also said was desired on their part with respect to the Andover and Redbridge Company. The South Western board had been 'the first since the recent contest to express its readiness for peace, and he eincerely hoped those feelings would be reciprocated by the Great Western Company, He concluded by mov ing the adoption of the report. The motion having been seconded, Mr. HELPS referred to the position of the sister of the late Dr. Baly, and moved that £l,OOO be presented to her by the company. The CHAIRMAN said he did not suppose that the hon. proprietor wished to move that as an amendment to the adoption of the report. It could be put as a substantive motion after the report was agreed to. This course was adopted, and the report was agreed to un an i piously. Mr. HELPS then brought forward his motion relative to Dr. Baly's sister. Mr. MITCHELL thought that the lady had no legal claim upon the company, but that she had a strong moral one. Sergeant GAZELEE opposed the proposition on the ground that it would be a heavy tax on the company, whilst indi vidually it would not be so hardly felt. The holder of the share would not feel much the loss of his proportion to the contribution of £l,OOO out of the funds of the company, but the person who had £30,000 invested in the concern would feel the effect of the tax, and that too most heavily. If, as had been stated, Dr. Baly during the last few years of his life had been in the receipt of an income of £3,000 per annum, h e ought to have had the or di nar y fore sight to insure his life for his sister's benefit. If the person killed had been John - Snooksinst;Ecroi the physician to the Queen, the directors might have given a small contribution if asked for it, but most certainly it would not have been a large sum. He objected to the pro position mainly on the ground that it would place the Company in such a situation that it would never be able to tell its position with anything like exactness. He should therefore move, as an amendment, that a subscription be opened, and that those who liked might be invited to con- tribute to it. Mr. HUTCHINGS, a director, said he should put hi s name down for £5. Mr. HELPS said he had no wish to carry his motion by a bare majority, and therefore, under the circumstances, he would withdraw his proposition. The motion was thn withdrawn in fav our of the sub scription moved by Mr e . Sergeant Gazelee. A resolution for the conversion of £1,000,000 debenture debt of the company into the 4 pe r cent. preference deben- ture , was agreed to unanimously. After the transaction of some formal b usiness the pro ceedings terminated. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. (Ey 'MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.)

The " twelfth " of 1862 has been as remarkable as its predecessor, but in a very different way. Last year the 12th of August was inaugurated with a perfect deluge of rain, which poured in torrents during the whole day, so that even with the ordinary elasticity of sportsmen's spirits on the first day of their holiday season it could barely be tolerated, and numbers had to succumb. This yea r a pro found stillness—a deep impressive quietness —per vaded all nature. Tuesday morning dawned amidst fog and haze, which enveloped the hit sides and valleys in a universal gloom. Not a breath of wind, but a damp moist atmosphere gave every thing a cheerless aspect. Every blade of grass was bending beneath a heavy dew drop, and later a Scotch mist, which is so distasteful to Englishmen, wel comed them to their heather heights in the High. lands. Nevertheless shooting parties were out early. Never was there a new year's morning so eager: ly hailed, after the clock had struck 12, than is the Il2th of August among sportsmen. Many Ittra touched a couch on Monday night. The enemy was em ployed in making the usual extens'lve preparations for the campaign of the follow;ng day. Gans and ammunition were carefully prepared and laid ready to take up. The dogs themselve s seem to have scent of the coming day, and, amidst the bustle which pervades the shooting lodge, manifest their impa tience with a growl. Occasionally, as the night ad vances, there is an examination of the barometer. Twelve strikes, and between that and two many an eager sportsman is scouring the heather. Owing to the dulness it was late yesterday before it dawned, I and it was four o'clock before a shot could be fire‘d. The atmosphere was light, and towards six o'clock the temperature rose a little, and the rays of sun shine were eagerly looked for te brighten the dark heather mountains and deep sounding glens, at pre sent bearing their most beautiful appearance ; but this did not occur till near midday. The fog was very dense in some districts, so that scarcely a shot could be fired for several hours. As the day advanced however, it got clear; but there was throughout a thickness and density in the atmosphere which spoiled many a good shot. 'We are not yet able to give any detailed account of the success of the open ing day. We have, however, gleaned a few parti culars as to the kind of sport anticipated, and of the coveys as they appeared yesterday on some of the moors, and on some of the previous days. Since Monday week the weather has been wet and rainy, though still there was a high thermometer, which, of course, has been more favaurabie for the moors. The want of sunshine has, however, this year been injurious to the growth of the birds, and we have had extremely little of it ever since the month of May. When the hatching season commenced there was an unusually numerous healthy and promising stock of old birds. The tapeworm had committed ravages on some districts and reduced the number of old birds, but this was not general. Indeed, it has been observed that in those districts where the disease prevailed, the birds were in the habit of feeding on the cornfields last autumn, both before and after harvest, and it is conjectured that corn is the cause of the malady, being an unnatural food for them. 'We found, however, this morning the birds very lively and very wild ; indeed, so wild that it was with difficulty we could get within 100 yards of them. It is seldom the broods are so wild at the commencement of the season. One party of four bagged 20 brace before 9 o'clock, after five hours' shooting. 'We have received a message from another shooting party of two, 'who made 14 brace by seven o'clock. A party of five, on one of the best moors in the county, bagged 454 brace before eight o'clock. These may be taken as samples of the shooting to be got, which is under the average considerably. Heavier bags were got last year in the same places in much less time. A keeper informs us that on traversing the Athole moor on Saturday, he raised nearly 80 coveys in three hours ; but they were smaller than usual, and not in so good condition. Few of the broods exceeded four young ones, and some packs of o ld bi r d s were observed. — N orth British Mail. NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY—THIS DAY. —The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held at one o'clock, at the company's offices, Bishopsgate-station—Mr. Richard Paterson in the chair. The directors reported that the dividend on the respective shares of this company for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, will become pay able on and after Monday, the 25th instant, as follows, viz. —On shares of £5O guaranteed 5 percent. per annum, £1 ss. each ; on shares of £5O guaranteed 6 per cent. per annum, £1 les. each, less property tax. The report was adopted, and the retiring directors were re-elected.

Brancker's Wa lthew-house Colliery, near Wigan, on Monday last, by which one man lost his life. and another received severe in juries, which, however, are not expected to prove fatal. Four men were employed to widen and heighten the main air way in the Cannel Mine, and were busy at work on Monday, removing some metal in the centre of the air way, when a portion of the roof, 12 feet in length a nd 3 feet G inches in thickness, suddenly gave way and fell upon them. Two of the men escaped without receiving any in juries, but a dataller, named John Isarkirson, a man about 60 years of age, was buried alive, and another dataller, named James Sharrock, was buried under the debris for about half an hour, When he was extricated, and it was then found that, besides being bruised on various parts of his body, his left arm was broken above the elbow. Some length of time elapsed before Parkinson was extricated. THE INTERNATIONAL EXIIIBITION.—YesterdaY, as regards attendance, was a good average day at the build ing, though not equal to that which preceded it. Up to 5 o'clock the admissions were 56,276, of which 4,511 were by season tickets, and 51,765 by shilling payments. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Brabant were admitted at 8 o'clock, and, accompanied by Mr. Linden, re mained until late in the afternoon inspecting every portion of the building. At their request the agent of the \Venham Lake Ice Company s howed the operation o f th e patent freezing prooess, and in the course of their investigations the Duke anDuchess took out d and examined a ll the chief skins from the case of Mr. Lillicrap, the fur dealer, includ ing, amo ng others, some extraordin ary furs from a cross breed between the lynx and jaguar, the only hybrid of the kind, it is said, that has ever been known. Their High" nesses then visited, in regular suc cess i on , all the c hief foreign courts, leaving soon after 3, and expressing their intention of again returning at 8 o'clock on Friday morn ing.
