CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The minimum of the Bank of England is main tained at 2 per sent., the directors at their meeting to-day having, as anticipated, refrained from making any alteration. The ,subject, however, attracted - very little notice either in monetary or commercial circles. There is still an abundance of money, and accommodation can be obtained in the general•rnar ket as low as 21 and 21 per cent. At a special meeting of the Natal Land and Colonisation Company the directors were empowered to raise £150,000 on 6 per Cent, Debentures, which money is to be invested in first mortgages on lands in Natal. A small quantity of gold, viz., £4,000, was with drawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The Ethiope, for the West Coast of Africa, took £2,000 in specie.

The body of Howard was afterwards brought up in the cage and conveyed at once to his residence, which is situated close to the colliery. it presented a most frightful aspect, the head being literally smashed in, and the other parts being very much charred by the action of the fire. The poor fellow's father is deputy-overman at the colliery, and he has been in a distracted state since the accident. The deceased, it is supposed, must have had an order from one of the men to bring him some powder in addition to the nails he was going for, and whilst in the act of getting the different things out a spark from his candle had fallen amongst the gunpowder, and the explosion would necessarily ensue. His body must then have been immediately over the box, and the force of the explosion would lift it against the roof of the pit, thus inflicting the in juries to the skull. How the other was injured will, no doubt, be fully explained by him upon his recovery. The deceased had been about eight years in the pit, and is described by Mr. Leonard, one of the owners, as a very pious, trustworthy boy. He possessed the entire confidence of his employers, and, notwithstanding that it is against the rules of the colliery to send a lad for powder, yet so much did they think of his natural carefulness that they would not have had the slightest fear of send ing him upon such an errand. There would be about two pounds of gunpowder in the canister, but how it became ignited will, it is feared, ever re main a mystery. An inquest will be held upon the body.— Western Daily _Press.

Mr. Beard—You see, sir, there is considerable feeling in the case. I only ask for time. My client cannot in one moment find premises in the city of London suitable to his business. The Judge—• And you see, Mr Beard, the landlord is entitled to his premises whenever he chooses to demand them. Mr. Beard—l am aware of chat; and I only ask a little [me. Give my client two months. Plaintiff (indignantly)—l will not allow it. Rather than ho should stop in my house two months longer I would pull the roof off over his head. (Roma of laughter.) Mr. Beard—l have no doubt of it. The Judge found that by the Act of Parliament he had no power to grant a longer time than ten days, and de fendant was ordered to deliver up possession in that time. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER,- Dennis Mannes, an Irishman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting Mr. Gedge, of the Crown Tavern, Broad-street, Golden•square. Mr. Gedge said that on the previous night the defendant came in and annoyed all the customers. He tried to eject the defendant, when he made an attempt to bite him, and pulled his whiskers. He got the defendant outside, when he again became very violent, and made a rush at him and kicked him violently in the groin. It was not the first time the defendant had been to his house and annoyed his cue tomers. Defendant denied the charge, and said he had only had a drop to drink. 38 C proved seeing the defendant seize hold of the com plainant, and before he could get up the defendant kicked the complainant in the groin. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s. or a month for the assault, and Mr. Gedge having stated that the defendant had also broken a partition in his house, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered him to pay 10s. for the damage, or seven days in default. CHARGE OP ROBBING A GENTLEMAN.—Annie Daw son, a well .dressed, good-looking young woman, of the class unfortunate, residing in Stanley-street, Brompton, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing £l5 at No. 5, Panton••street, the property of Mr. Robt. Henry Copper thwaite, of 42, Duke-street. It appears that Mr. Copperthwaite was acquainted with the accused, and some days ago gave her a cheque to pay for some wine at the house in Panton-street, and she re fused to give up the change. Meeting her at the same house last night he gave her in cbarge. On the accused being placed at the bar the constable Parsons, 31 A, said that the prosecutor was not in attend ance. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that being the case the accused wculd be discharged. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT.—Mary Gibbon, a very disorderly Irishwoman, the keeper of one of those questionable dens in Phillip-street, St. George's •in-the East, where so many outrages and robberies have been committed, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding a dock labourer named Richard Cumming, who presented himself in the witness-box with his head bandaged, and his mouth and face severely cut. _ _ The complainant said he went to the prisoner's house to visit a young woman there, and entered into conversation with her about the mildness of the weather, in which the prisoner joined. A quarrel afterwards ensued between him self, the prisoner, and others in the house, and they all left it and went into High-street, Shadwell, where in the midst of some words the prisoner struck him over the eye with a heavy tumbler, and cut it open. She also struck him on the cheek and mouth. He was very severely injured, and lost a good deal of blood. His wounds were dressed by a surgeon. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

TRIAL OF SMALL BORE RIFLES AT W 0 OL WIC U. A number of gunmakers of well-known celebrity yesterday assembled in Woolwich-marsh, and went through a course of firing, commencing over a range of 500 yards, for the purpose of enabling the National Rifle Association to determine the rifle with which the second stage of the Queen's prize shall be competed for on Wimbledon-common this year. The time named for the commencement of the proceedings was half-past 10, at which hour the competitors, six in number, %ere present, either in person or by a representative—namely, Mr. Joseph Whitworth, Mr. John Rigby, Mr. Charles Ingram, Mr. Edward Burdett for Mr. Thomas Turner, Mr. William Terry, and Mr. Alexander Henry. A large number of the members com posing the council of the association and many distinguished visitors interested in the proceed ings were likewise in attendance, including Lord Eleho (chairman), Captain St. John Mildmay (secretary), Major-General Hay (acting as umpire), the Earl of Albemarle, the Marquis d'Andigne (French Military Attache), Lord Bury, Lord Col ville, Colonel Nowitzky (Russian Attache), the Earl of Lichfield, and a host of others. After some de lay in inspecting the range, firing sheds, &c., the competitors were summoned to the spacious engine room supplying the machinery in that branch of the Royal Arsenal, where, by the courtesy of Col. Boxer and Col. Franklyn, C. 8., of the Royal La boratory, every arrangement for facilitating the contest had been prepared. On examination of the slides and rests from which each rifle was to be fired, it was admitted by Mr. Whitworth that his slide, 371 inches in length, exceeded the others by 1/ inch. This was a dilemma which occasioned some considerable delay, and which entailed a con Isultation among the members, by whom it was de cided that Mr. Whitworth had forfeited his right to the competition. The privilege was, however, waived, and Mr. Whitworth was permitted to shorten his rest according to the length prescribed by the rule which accompanied the printed regula tions issued to each competitor, as follows :-- " 1. Each maker will furnish six rifles, which will be weighed before trial, to ascertain that the limit decided on by the council is not exceeded. 2. Three of each description of rifle will in the first instance be taken indiscriminately for trial ; these will be numbered from Ito 3, and sealed. The num bers will be continued through the remaining three rifles from 3to 6. 3. The order of shooting will be decided by coloured slips of paper marked from I to (according to number of competitors being drawn for). The maker will retain this letter throughout the trials. 4. As only two rifles can be shot exactly at the same time, the trial will com mence with letter A, No. 1 rifle, and so on in suc cession until No.l rifle in each letter has been tried. No. 2 letter will then commence with No. 2 rifle, and so on. The distance fired at will be 500 yards and 1,000 yards, commencing at the first range. Diagrams of 20 shots for each rifle, trial shots, which should not exceed five at 500 yards and eight at 1,000 yards, not included. The mean radial devi ation, taken as at Hythe, will decide the figure of merit of the rifles. 6. When diagrams of 20 shots of each rifle shall have been taken at both the ranges decided on, the mean radial deviation of all the rifles of each description fired will decide the merit of the rifle, and determine the successful competitor. Competitors are requested to be pre sent themselves or by agent, at the target when the diagrams of their respective shootings are taken off. and to satisfy themselves that each shot is faith fully placed on the diagram, the keeper of diagrams signing also. One of the council will then initial the diagram, unless it can be taken by photography. No cleaning out during the recorded 20 shots, nor after trial shots. No gun maker competing will be permitted to withdraw from the competition who has begun firing." The above was agreed to and signed by each of the competitors in succession. - On account of the above named delay, and the time necessarily consumed in various preliminary matters, the firing did not commence until three o'clock, and only four competitors were enabled to fire—namely, Mr. Rigby, Mr. Turner, Mr. Ingram, and Mr. Terry. The firing was exceedingly good, notwithstanding the intense severity of the north easterly wind, which blew across the range and seriously damaged the effect. Two other intended competitors attended, but could not enter the lists. The first, Mr. Parsons, civil engineer, of Black heath, is the inventor of a breech-loading rifle, highly approved, but, not having sufficient time, as he stated, to make the required number, six, he could not compete. The rifle, as examined by Lord Elcho, contains the breech sufficient for all the purposes of loading, &c., without moving the barrel, and is closed by a sphere which acts on the princi ple of a ball and socket. The sphere is in the form of a bolt, the tail end of which lifts up, and is closed by the fall of the hammer. The second rifle, that of Mr. Key, could not be admitted, on account of its being four ounces over the prescribed weight— namely, 91-lb. The proceedings, which did not terminate till nightfall yesterday, will be continued to-day and probably to-morrow. ANOTHER FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. Another fatal accident has to be added to the already black and terrible list which has occurred during the present year—an accident which has come nearer home than any of those which we have been called upon to record within the last couple of months—and whilst there may not be so many sufferers, either directly or indirectly, as in the other cases, yet life has been lost, and one family has at least been thrown into a state of gloom by the loss of a son who was rapidly approaching manhood, and who was looked upon as an example to those in a similar position to himself. At first rumour greatly exaggerated the extent of the accident;and it was stated in this city that a great loss of life had been occasioned at Easton Pit by an explosion of gas. Of course considerable excitement was manifested among the citizens, and many wended their way to the spot, anxious to ascertain the truth of the statements which were being freely circu lated. Upon visiting the colliery, however, those fears were greatly allayed-by the knowledge that only one life had been lost, althoegh that loss was one life too many. Au immense concourse of people was gathered about the place, the news of the accident having spread with great rapidity through the neighbourhood, and most of those living in the district having relatives at work in the mine. It was at first stated that an explosion of fire-damp had occurred, but this was not credited by those at all acquainted with the pit, for it is one of the best ventilated—if not the very best—in the entire kingdom, and the utmost precautions ate taken by the proprietors and managers in order that no such accident may occur. Upon the crowd learning the facts of the case they gradually dis persed, but it was not till some hours after the acci dent that the last group left the neighbourhood of the pit. The cause of the accident is shrouded in mystery, and, as is too often the case, the only per son who might naturally be supposed to be able Easton, and in close to state exactly how it occurred has been cut off by the fell destroyer. From facts which have come to light since the melancholy occurrence we details. e —one b e i ng 180 contiguity o a hn v ot e ipgiut been to t which alal thise s t e situated city, gather b elo an t t g the following to t Messrs. Le on a r d, n o Boult, fathom a a n d d eo C p o ;an l d t t h h a o s two seam 1 qeam so fathoms. Alto gether there are nearly 400 persons employed on it —a great number of them b ein g boys. On Tuesday c t l o ck, work, a youth whilst the men in the 150 named Isaac Howarn, of Gothic Cottages , and aged about 17 m fa o th rn om in e years, was sent by one of t he men to a box for the purpose of getting some nails. In the same box morning, l eet were B e a ' where the nails are kept the gunpowder is also kept, but it is put up in tin canisters, and the boys have no right to touch it. Shortly after the lad left the person he was working with heard a terrific explo sion, and, as might be expected, the greatest excite ment was created in the pit. The men at once sus pected that it was gunpowder which had exploded, and they came from all parts of the seam to render assistance if it should be required. It was then per ceived that the surmises of the men were correct, and it was nearly impossible to remain in that part of the workings, so impregnated had the air become with the fumes of the powder. The men, however, were not to be driven away by the stench, but at once commenced to examine the spot. They had not long to search before they came upon the shockingly mangled body of the boy Howard, and a few yards off another young. man, named William Brittain, was discovered lying in an insensible state. Life was found to be quite extinct in the former; but the other being alive, as evidenced by his groan ing, he was carefully carried through the work ings to the shaft—a distance of near l y 500 yards— and upon being hoisted up in the cage he was at once conveyed home, where he was attended by Mr. Mayor, and there is now every hope of his recovery. He is suffering from severe burns about the face and body, and he has not been able to give any account Sharel 106 stk Business done 101 1001 I 1021 11 21 23 61 i 101 f 1 13k I Mr. Selfe—And your hand is cut, how was that done ? Witness—By the prisoner. My glass was broken to pieces when she struck me on the eye, and 1 am afraid I shall never recover the sight of it again. The prisoner said, in her defence, that the complainant was abusTng4aer sister-in-law, and about to strike her, and she took her part, and hit Cummings on the eye with the glass. The complainant—lf you please, sir, she did it delibe rately. We quarrelled in her house, and she brought th glass away from her home, and some time afterwards struck me with it on the eye and face. Mr. Selfe said the complainant had put it very properly. The act of the prisoner was a deliberate one indeed, and very savage. She brought the glass from her own house, with the intention of doing mischief. The complainant had no business in such an infamous place as that kept by the prisoner, and he went there for no good purpose. He could not suffer such outrages as those to go unpunished. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for one month, and kept to hard labour. MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning Mary Mobbs, aged 29, the wife of a surveyor, residing at Nelson-place, Old Ford-road, was found lying upon the bed with her throat cut, and by her side was one of her children, a girl aged ten months, in the same condition—both being quite dead. The deceased woman leaves two other children. An inquest will be held forthwith. At present the cause of the shocking act is unknown. COUNTSOUT.—The following forty-three mem bers composed the minority who voted on Tuesday night for Mr. Bentinck's motion directed against the practice of counting out during the delivery of a speech :—Messrs. H. E. Adair, E. Ball, T. Barnes, H. F. Berkeley, Sir B. W. Bridges, Lord R. Cecil, Messrs. W. Cox, R. Dalglish, C. Da Cane, M. E. G. Duff, W. Ewart, W, E. Forster, H. W. Freeland, Colonel French, Mess'rs. C. D. Griffith, G. Hadfield, J. P. Hennessy, J. T. Hopwood, W. W. F. Hume, G. W. Hunt, N. Kendall, P. J. L. King, W.H.G. Langton, W. S. Lindsay, E. MacEvoy, A. Mills, AV. J. Mon son, Lord R. Montagu, Mr. C. N. Newdegate, the O'Conor Don, Major W. Parker, Messrs. D. Pugh, It. T. Rowley, G. Sclater-Booth, Augustus Smith, J. Somes, M. Stani • land, Sir H. Stracey, Col. W. H. Sykes, Lord E. Thynne, Admiral Walcott, Messrs. S. H. Walpole and J. White. Tellers—Messrs. G. W. P. Bentinck and Knightley. Mr. Disraeli, Lord Stanley, Mr. Spooner, and a few other Con servatives, voted against the motion. FLOGGING IN THE NAVY.—A Parliamentary re turn issued yesterday gives the following particulars rela tive to cases of flogging in the navy in the year 1860. Total number of corporal punishments, 764 ; lashes inflicted, 26,201; number liable to corporal punishment, 5(,379 ; lashes inflicted by sentence of courts martial, 1,614 ; highest number of lashes inflicted, 50 ; lowest number, 6. " We think," says the Bulletin de Paris, "we are correct in stating that the Treaty of Commerce between France and Prussia was signed on Monday by the Com missioners of the two Powers, and that it now only waits for the approval of the Zollverein, which may be shortly expected." ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE.---A grand morning entertainment was given here yesterday, under the patron age of his grace the fluke of Wellington. The programme included the usual vocal performances, a novelty being the appearance of the infant Koenig (who is stated to be only eight years old), who played on the cornet-a-piston Ettley's " Zorline Polka," in a style which stamps the young aspi rant for fame as a remarkable specimen of precocious talent. His execution is rapid, and the tone produced is wonder fully good, looking to the tender age of the executant, who evidently is imbued with a taste for better and more culti vated subjects. Mr. Steve Ethair's entertainment on the barrel as usual afforded much gratification to the audience. The performance concluded with (we quote from the bills) " the thrilling performances of the wondrous Leotard," who really outdid himself in several new feats on the occasion. At the close he was rapturously applauded, and made his obeisance a second time to the au dience, among whom were many ladies and gentlemen of distinction.

HOUSE OF LORDS—TiIIs EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. THE ITALIAN PROCLAMATION. The Earl of DERBY said in consequence of the an nouncement he received the other evening that the Govern.. ment had no knowledge of the proclamation to which he referred, which he must confess took him somewhat by surprise, he found it necessary to alter the terms of his moll( n. He had furnished the noble earl with the Italian and French newspapers, and he felt certain that he would receive an answer which would give satisfaction to the country. The proclamation had been issued at Le - schara, and although it was addressed to a comman dant of brigade, yet it was issued by patties respon sible to the Government of Italy. The noble earl then read the document in question, which set forth that no person was to set foot within a certain territory, and that all persons would be shot who were found in the possession of more than one day's sustenance, and treated as brigands. He would leave the document in all its native atrocity, which purported to be issued by a government elected by the general voice of the Italian people, to be dealt with by the noble earl. He did not think it was a proper way to restore tranquillity after a district had been seriously disturbed. It was calculated to make the whole district to which it referred a desert ; and it was unheard-of cruelty to make the innocent suffer for the guilty, and it was a disgrace to any person wearing the garb of a soldier to have issued such a docu. ment. The noble earl had remonstrated against the sink ing of stoite ships at the mouth of the harbour of Charles ton, but that was nothing compared to the atrocity of this proclamation. What he wished to ask was, whether the Government had yet received any information relative to the guineness of the document in question from Sir James Hudson, and whether he could state if Sir James had expressed to the Italian Government the feeling such a proclamation would excite in this country, and if Sir James had not communicated the information to the cowl fay, whether he was prepared to ask why such had not been done. Earl RUSSELL said he had no official information rela tive to the issuing of the proclamation referred to by the noble earl. He entirely agreed with him in his condemna tion of such a cruel proceeding, if such had really taken place. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. BERKELEY and Mr. POWELL took the oaths and :heir seats for Gloucester. HULL SOUTH BRIDGE BILL. , This bill was read a second time. IRISH POOR-LAW. Petitions were presented from the inhabitants of Dublin, and other parts of Ireland, for an amendment of the Irish Poor Law. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr.WHITMORE, a writ was ordered to issue for the election of a member for the city of Canter bury, in the room of Mr. Butler Johnstone, who had accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. THE WHIPPING BILL. In reply to Mr. HUNT, Sir G. GREY said that it had been stated erroneously in a return on the subject that a boy of three years had been flogged in one of the prisons, whereas it should have been a boy of 13 years old. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE, &c. Mr. HANKEY asked the First Commissioner of Works when Westminster-bridge would be completely open for public use, and when the houses on the south side of Bridge street would be removed? and whether there is any objec tion to a carriage entrance from the foot of Westminster bridge to the House of Commons? Mr. COWPER said that judging from the present state of the works of - Westminster-bridge there was every reason to suppose that the bridge would be open to the public early in May next. The houses on the south aide of the bridge were to be pulled down as they came into the pos session of the Board of Works. With respect to the third question, there could be no objection to carriages going direct from the foot of Westminster-bridge to Palace -yari . MEDICAL OFFICERS OF THE INDIAN AMY. Mr. BAZLEY asked the Secretary of State for R India when his promise to place the medical officers of her jesty's Indian army upon a perfect footing of army ofequawlitoyuwldtbthe the medical officers of her Majesty's British carried into effect? Sir C. WOOD repeated the answer he had given on a previous occasion, which was to the effect that it wou ld b e impossible to place the medical officers of the Indian army on the same footing as those of the British army. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES IN IRELAND. In reply to Col. Dunne and Mr. B. Osborne, Sir R. * PEEL said that he would, in accordance with the wishes of the house, postpone this bill until Monday next. THE REVISED CODE. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. AYRTON asked the Vice-President of the Educa tion Committee of Privy Council whether it was the inten tion of the Government to acquiesce in Mr. Walpole's mo tion for the house to resolve itself into a committee of the whola house to consider the best mode of distributing the Parliamentary grants for education, now administered by the Privy Council; and, if so, asked Mr. Walpole whether he would immediately lay on the table of the house the resolutions which he intended to move in committee ? He wished to know from the Government what course they intended to pursue in reference to this subject. He thought it would be most inconvenient to the house if hon. memi ere were merely called on, in committee of supply, to discuss the vote of the education grant without considering the application of it. Mr. OSBORNE considered that the mode in which the bon. member for the Tower Hamlets had brought forward uhis question had led to some confusion, and asked the hon. member of Cambridge University, when he would place upon the table of the house the resolutions on revised minute of education, which ho contemplated moving in committee of the whole house. After some irregular discussion, Mr LOVE said there was some slight misunderstand ing on the matter, and when the house went into com mittee it would be competent for any member to propose any alteration in the Government plan. Mr. WALPOLE, after some further discussion, said that he would vary his motion to the effect, that instead of going into committee on this subject on a specific day the house should resolve into such committee. Sir G. LEWIS said that the Government would accept the proposition of the right hjn. gentleman Some further conversation ensued and the subject dropped. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The House then went into committee of supply. Mr. LINDSAY objected to granting the whole vote for he Admiralty department until the house was informed how far the renmmendation of the committee which sat in reference to this department bad been carried out. He conten ded that it was more important economy, consistent with efficiency, should be regarded in the department of the public service, and proposed with a view to obtaining in formation that the vote should be reduced by £2,5000, the salaries of certain officers whose appointments appeared to require some explanation. Sir F. SMITH supported the motion of the hon. member Mr. WILLIAMS said the vote for the naval service ex ceeded that of last year by £9,000, and referred to the sub ject of flogging in the navy. sent The SPEAKER decided that the hon. member w era of order in going into the latter subject on th e p occasion. ira th it a y t in alt o e r r d a e t r ion to s secure for it a greater amount [LEFT SPE AILIN G] required Sir n N t V h i e L e L o n ° e U t t G u i t I f o ß n n Y n o tf contended ot e e ffi A ai d e m n e y BANK OF ENGLAND.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts in good condition. All breeds commanded a steady sale, at fully Monday's currency, the best Scots having realized 4a 6d per 81bs. The show of sheep was again limited, and the mutton trade was firm at extreme rates. The best Downs sold at 5s 6d per lbs. The few lambs in the pens were taken off readily, at 7s 4d per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was slightly on the increase, were in re quest, at full quotations. Pigs were quite as dear as last week ; but milch cows sold heavily.

Feb. 27, 1862. Fox HUNTING EXTRAORDINARY. --One of the severest runs upon record came off on Monday. The Cum berland Hounds met at Bolton Park 'louse, the seat of Mr. H. Watson, and a fox was soon beaten from the cover of a neighbouring wood. Setting off in gallant style foxey re viewed Lord Leconfield's vast inclesures in Westward; then, after putting the dogs in afi x,he crossed Mr. Watson's domain over Snow thence through a heavy valley, and up to Boughton Gill or Silver Gill. Finding that both dogs and horses kept close on the track, fosey dashed onward to seek protection beneath the shadows of mighty Skiddaw—but his remorseless pursuers were not to be shaken off. When he reached the summit they bore close in his rear ; so nothing daunted, ho sprang in fine style down the beautiful slopes which overlook Keswick. Still he went on, over field and hedge, past Mir ehouse, whose hos p itabl e portals were closed which to him. At l ast, after a run of thirty nil s panned in the short s p ace of three hours five dminutes, he had poor Reynard made ample atonement for all his life's sins, after running so far from his home. Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Turner, and many others were in at the death, and the brush so hardly won will of course be dearly prized. In old John Peel's daythrzebefoxes were chased over nearly th e same g ro u nd. -- C umber land cune r last accounts lana-Pacet Welearn th e from China that he Europeen, steam transport, having on board the Siamese ambassadors, arrived at Bangkok on the 4th Janne They were r ece i ve d on the following daybytheFirst King, on on whose mi n d t h e rec i ta l o f t h e i r v i s i t France appeared to produce a very favourable impression. ~:~- - F: A ~.
