Brazil and the River P late. A telegram received from Havanna reports that city to be in a " complete state of disorganisation." Advices from the 111auritius state that a new Guaranteed Six per Cent. Loan for £lOO,OOO is contemplated by the Legislature of the colony. It is understood that the National Bank will press forward with all possible expedition their appeal against the decision of Vice-Chancellor Malins in the case of Charles Lafitte and Co. (Limited). In any result the bank ; it is stated, are not likely to lose more than £BO,OOO, since, although the deci sion involved £230,000, with three years' interest, the various ultimate adjustments in connection with the case would bring the matter within that compass. The report of the Liverpool National Steamship Company shows a balance of £76,316, after paying a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and providing for depreciation. • At the meeting of the Bahia Steam Navigation Company (Limited), the directors' report, which announc.2d that they cannot recommend the pay ment of a dividend, was adopted. The annual meeting of the Commercial Union Assurance Company is convenel for the 9th of March. The half-yearly report of the London, Tilbury, anl Southend Railway Company, states that the receipts have amounted to £36,911 10s., and the expenses to £22,466 9s. 11d., leaving a balance of 14,445 Os. Id. The report of the North and South-Western Junction Railway recommends the payment of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The demand in the iron trade for rails has been so large of late that it is stated all the woks, both ja Wales and the North of England, are full of orders up to Saturday next. The requirements are principally for Russia, but Austria and Hun gary are likewise taking good qualities. In the other branches of the trade there is not the same activity.

An aged man applied to Mr. Selfe for advice, and, on being questioned, said his wife, " who was a bad 'un," had run away from him, and taken the furniture and their child with her. Ho wanted to know "if he couldn't Jake her up for stealing." Mr. Selfe told him he had once "endowed her whit all his worldly goode," and thergonA he could not do so. He could, however, summons any person who detained them. He went away rather dis appointed at the result of his application. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Dir. Lewis Dixon, a manufacturer, residing in the Downham-road, was to-day fined 235. and costs for cruelly beating a horse. The defendant denied the chat go, but the magistrate said he had no reason to doubt the testi mony of the witnesses who proved the case. THAMES. A Strapping Irish woman was this morning brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting the porter at the workhouse of St. George's-in-the-East . . According to the evidence she had been refractory in the house, and when remonstrated with she " slipped into the porter." She was sent to prison for two months. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCR. The New Yolk and Oswego Midland Railroad is being rapidly pushed through a section of New York State, which before was comparatively with out railroads. Coining clown from Oswego, along the north shore of Oneida Lake, south-eastwardly through Madison Cuuuty, east through Chenango, Delaware, Sullivan, and Orange, with important branches at several points, along the line will soon be created a thrift heretofore unknown to its.inhabi . tants. The business on Lake Champlain is increasing so rapidly that additions are to be, made the corning season to the first-class steamers already navigating these waters. —A rail way from Saratoga Springs is pushing its way into the sources of the Hudson River, in the Great Northern Wildernes.. Reach ing the Hudson at Luzerne, in attiorltNhraeirrlyendcito.eucntitoyt: from Saratoga, it is already iu working order as far up the river as Warrensburg, i and may be expected in time to make a connection with the roads already constructed through the northern tier of counties.—The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Union Pacific Railroad Com pany will be held at the office, 20, Nassau-street, on March 10th next, and of the Quicksilver Mining Company, at 19, Nassau-street, on Feb. 24th next. The West Shore Hudson River Railroad Company have at last obtained the means of building a part of their line, which is intended ultimately to con tinue from Jersey City to Newburgh. They have contracted for the completion of a section run ning from Jersey City to Fort Lee by next June. Two miles and a quarter of the grading is finished from the former point, and the work progresses rapidly. In addition to this a mile of grading exists between Fort Lee and Pier mont. Before this winter set in a large num- Ler of piles were driven at Nyack for the track. More will be added when the weather opens.— In 1860 there were less than 600 wiles of railroad whatever,lowa,in 1 87.

A force of 75U men is now engaged.— Vall-street Journal. 'l' be Legislature of Illinois has passed a bill which now awaits the signature of Governor Palmer, re stricting all railroads in the State to a charge of three cents per mile for passengers. No provision is made relative to freights, though the feeling of the people throughout the State calls for an act limiting freights as strongly as for one regulating fares. The collection of a higher rate of fare is declared a mis deineacour, and subjects the employe collecting it to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, and im prisonment not exceeding one year, while the company is required to repay four times the excess of fare, besides costs and counsel fees. Roads not yet con structed will not be affected by the law, until they have been running ten years. An attempt to pass a similar bill two years ago was defeated by show ing that the rates of railroad freights and fares throughout the State had not risen on the prices of 1860 more than would be necessarily caused by the decline in our currency and the rise in the cost of running the roads. But the demand for restric tion of fares to the North-West is deep-seated, and the law will do good if the people succeed in enforc ing it.— Tribune. The railroad bridge over the Mississippi River from Dunleith, Illinois, which connects the Illinois Central with the Dubuque and Sioux City Rail road and forms direct railroad connection with all the northern part of lowa, has been completed, and is now in successful operation. The intelligence brought from the River Plate by the mail steamer Galileo confirms the previous reports of the crushing defeat of Paraguay at all points, and leaves no room to doubt that, although not one of the largest, certainly one of tko most prolonged and most extraordinary wars on record has at length come to an end. When the Brazilian troops entered Assumption, on the 2d of January, they found that Lopez had left behind him his will, in which he named Madame Linch his heiress and the American Minister his executor. It is asserted that Lopez had resolved to die at Angostura, and with that view gave his adjutant a revolver with which to shoot him should he escape the weapons of his• fobs. However, whon fill hope of further resistance was abandoned, Lopez appears to have also abandoned his intention of dying by his own hand or by the hand of a friend, and he fled with 30 of his most devoted followers. When the allies took possession of Angos tura they found there 44 guns and a l arge quan tity of small aims and other munitions of war. The. number of Paraguayan troops which surrendered at Angostura was 1,300, beside five hundred sick and wounded, and . 400 women. A detachment of cavalry was sent in pursuit of Lopez. An English surgeon, who was in at tendance on Lopez, asserts that during the war the popu lation of Paraguay has been reduced from 500,000 to about 100,000. The New York Sun tells how Mr. Glenn's vote was lost to Morgan, and cast for Fenton, and it is not a bad instance of how a man who is incorruptible himself ma y be jockeyed into the purposes of the lobby. "The caucus took place at half-past 7 in the evening, and at half-past 5 Mr. Glenn waited upon Mr. Morgan in person to assure him that whatever else might happen, the vote of Glenn was his, and hia only. But no sooner bad he left the presence of the senator than he was taken in hand by three shrewd friends of Governor Fenton, who, with be coming seriousness, said to him :—" Mr. Glenn, do you know that these scoundrels about here have been selling your vote to Morgan ?" " No!" said Glenn, opening all his eyes ; "you don't tell me ?" " Yes, indeed," was the answer, "and Morgan's hounds have paid them five thousand dollars on condition that your ballet should be cast for their candidate." " Well, well," responded the unsuspecting and excited legislator, "if they h ave so l d me, they shall find that lam hard to deliver. Pll t a k e care that this trick is never tried on me again, I can tell you." The result was that, in his indignation, Mr. Glenn wont into the caucus and ostentatiously cast au open ballot for Mr. Fenton. An extraordinary instance of attempt at suicide has occurred in Paris, of a rag picker, whose mind had been somewhat deranged from violent grief at the death of his wife. Ile threw himself from the window of his lodgings into the street at half-past 11 ou Monday night, breaking his arm and injuring himself seriously in eifferent parts of the body. A person passing by went forward to offer assistance, but the man, who had gut up by himself, declared that lie was not much hurt, and that he bad fallen by accident. He then ascended to his room, and again flung himself out; this time he fell on his head and fractured his skull dangerously. lie was removed to an hospital. - nUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.

The jury found for the plaintiff for the full amount, £23. The verdict was applauded by the audience. The greatest number of successful candidates from any one school at the late Cambridge local examina tion was 34, from the Devon County School, West Buck lend ; and the greatest number of boys in honours was 15, from the same school. THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.- A most intereAing and instructive little work, describing briefly but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and clock niakin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bund-street, PS, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of tie United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser 2RAIN.ING REPOR7S. larmscuatm—Thursday—Nyl Gau and Salamis did walking and trotting exercise up the hollow on Cannon Heath. Morna was sent c steady canter by herself a mile and a half. Lictor and Miami colt followed. Vagabond, The Palmer, and Pero Gomez cantered the like distance. Blue Gown and King Cophetua cantered by themselves. Siderolite led Madame Eglantine filly, Waif, and Girasol, followed by Masterstroke, Rosicrucian, and Blue Stocking at a slow pace. Here all went to Lichfield downs, where they cantered twice, with the exception of Rosicrucian, Masterstroke, and Blue Stocking, who only went one can ter. Lictor then led the Miami colt a sharp spin of a mile. Vagabond, The Palmer, Pero Gomez, Blue Gown, and King Cophotua did some good work rather over a mile. STOCKBIUDGE.—Ou Thursday, Cock of the Walk led Birdseeker, Blucher, Scottish Queen, and Miss Foote about a mile and a half, the latter pulling up at the end of a mile. Atonement followed about 100 yards off, and went a mile and a had. Friday—Tom Day gallcim 1 Laura and Fly fisher again about two miles. NEWMARKET. —On Wednesday, on the Bury hill s'de, W. Arnull did regular work with Compromi 4P, Baronet, and Amara. Price was at work whit Sala lia, &Aeneas, Little Treasttr, and Brother to Vespasian. John Dawson cant-Ted and tlon gall sped Nina Elm:, Marquis of Ca rabaQ, Seville, Nelly Rose, Thor, and Typhon, about one mile. Matthew Daws)a's lot were steadily at work under the Warren hill, but Wild °As was not out. Thursday —Wild Oats was only taking walking exercise. Chelms ford—ln tho Chelmer Handicap we have Mount Palatine, Matilda, Demonstration, Compromise, and the St. Agnes gelding. All have done good work, and are fit to run. I fancy Compromise is our best. Two Year Old Plate—l cannot say what is to beat Sister to Veda. For the Not tingham Spring ilacdicap, the following have done plenty of work:—Grimston, Friday, Clemonc ~ Mars, Tornado, Miss Gratwicke, A:aster, Glen Rosa, King Ri c h ar d , Sagit tarius, Vaniehka, Conjaror, and St. Agnes gelding, and the best to stAnd ou is the one Joseph Dawson's stable goes for. Tito Stand Plate fancy Sphynx will be our best. HEDNESPORD.-The following horses are engaged at Nottingham and Derby: -Baruabo, President Lincoln, Alicia, Albion, Master Willie, Fan, an I Arrau. The first' two named - 1 consider fit to run for a mm's life. They are iu the Nottingham Handicap, and will take their own part. Orion and Alicia are also in, but they will not be wanted et present. I shall expect to see Barnaho very handy. Albion and Master Willie a e iu twice at Not tingham. The former might be wanted, and he goes well, and so does Master Willie, but 1 don't think the game high enough for the latter. CIIILTON.- On Tuesd ty, Stevens gave good work to the following :-Actam, Ospr,y, Cameroou, Virgiuht Creeper, M.A., Chateau Margaux, Edna, The Roman, Precious Metal, Peter, Maid of the Mill, Out-and-Out:3r, and Little Doctor. Wednesday.-Cameroon was tried with one of Rickards's from Ilaley, but I could not get to know what it was; however Cameroon won as ho liked. Actlea, Osprey, and Virginia Creeper again did good work, as did G Otter° at. d Edn I. Thursday.- Stevens had foul teen out in the first lot. All wont over into the bottom, when Actrea was the first to commonaceworkbygoingthe a mi t le a short - and- st a- d h i al a f u g c a e. D.A 110p7t7., Stuart . pc.,. Osprey followed Aldershot, and Chateau Margaux galloped a mile each, and Venetia, Candia, The Roman Precious Metal, and the Camerino colt did well. MALTON.-C. Peck is sending Owaiu Glyndwr to load Tramp some rattling work daily. Fichu and Tasman are doing well. The same may be said of Martinive and Car fax. Amendment, Blacklock, Londesberough, colt by Trumpeter, and Lady Eleanor are taking things easy. I'. I'Anson is sending the colt by The Cure out of Ellen the Fair to lead Consternation some useful work. R. Peck is busy with Navigator, Nil Desperandum, and Grand Duchess. Those of the Whitehall team that are doing useful work are Royal Oak, Zapolya, Thunder, The Spy, Taraban, War, Toison d'Or, Fecialis, Viscount, Merry and Wise, Clipper, Kenti eh Fire, Silver Band, Viscountess aud Nobleman. and Derby. At the former p l ace , in the Spring Handi cap FiNpoN.— We have some horses eii-ginghttra we have John Leech, Sister to Vedette, and the Vixen g elding ; and at D erb y , in the G reat Midland Spri ng Handicap, Sister to Vedette. John Leech is away, and I do nct know whether he will go to Nottingham or come home. The other two are going and doing fairly. The colt meetings, by gs, has, m as ter Begot out of Grillad e , engaged at these I hear, been turned out of trai n i ng. At the Liv e rpool Spring Meeting, in the Tri a l S ta k es, we have mn Fal-lal and Pompeii ; and in the Mar c h S ta k es the colt by Ace of Clubs out of Lemonade. The latter and Fal-lal are doing L AMBo URNE.— The following horses are in work:— Miss Phoebus, The Parson, S unstroke, Belladrum, Hayes,d work. goo North Briton, St Mungo, Crocus, Disguise, Sunshine, colt by marsyas out of Symmetry, filly by Dundee out of Zai dee, filly by Lord of the Isles out of Lady Lurewell, and filly by Oramond out of Sempstress. S unstroke still leads Belladrum some good long work. Sunlight is taking things rather easy at present. Bates's lot have been doing very little since my last, the only ones that I have seen g oing along being Russian Bear and a filly by Mouravief. RICHMOND.—Since my last, the following horses have done good work :—Annie, Annie Stewart, Ladas, Caprera, The Gleaner, The Prior, Sweet Annie, Loxes, Zeno, Leo nora, Mansfield, Last Rose of Summer, Flora, Bete Noir, Saratoga, Dark Cloud, The Hind, Number Nip, Nigh t Guard, colt by Cavendish, Neptunus filly, the Melbourne filly, East Coast, Moscow, Attache, Enterprise, De Clare, and the King John colt. Caprera, Sweet Annie, and The Prior alternately led Ladas, whilst Geant des Batailles and 2Eothen are doing the same for Bronnus on Mouldron Pastures. On Tuesday, Coates brought two young ones on the moor after his usual lot had done their work. The ground is very good going, and all are spinning along merrily. asLEY.—In the Nottingham Handicap we have Hatch meat, Hammerton, and Falstaff. They are well and doing good work, and whichever Mr Bennett starts will run for ward. Dawdle and Claymore are in the Stand Plate, and I fancy the first-named. Hammerton is again engaged in the Newcastle Plate, but he might show his form before this race is run for. In the Little John Stakes Eugenie and Hollandaise are engaged. Eugenie has shown us her form at Lincoln, and Hollandaise I have no fancy for. Here ford and Amour Propre are in the Forest Handicap, but I don't think either can win. FIFIELD.—The following horses have been doing well since my last :—Portsmouth, Sister to Franchise, Acton, Heather Bell, lone filly, La Belle Helene, Dulcet, PuAuntnish- Make Haste ment, Carina, Citron, Marsha l Ne y , , Hannah colt, Cantina colt, Skipjack, Threatener, and a long string of two year olds. On Thursday morning, Skipjack led Portsmouth and Sister to Franchise a good gallop of about two miles, Heather Bell going tho same all going well. Acton, Make Haste, Citron, iatrtoan,steDaduliecert,p.tice,u,uishniont, Tone filly, Cantine colt, Aunt Hannah colt, La Belle Helene, and Make Haste galloped about a mile. MIDDLEIIAM. —ln the Nottingham Handicap we have 31ex:co and King of the Fairies. The first -named has done a lot of work, and is looking and going first-class. If t his should be his journey he w ill about laud, and I do not think he will stand much work on har d ground. King of the Fairies is also looking and going very well, but as h e has not done any long work be will not be wanted y e t. I h a ve not seen a full programme, but Flying Jib is lit and well, and might win a half-mile race at this meeting. I see i s this not i s in nut t r a t i l a l he a c g a . se , H a e s i it s t o h orse inform there e y l io e u it is reported that Pretaider has tur ne d out a rogue,g.but I bo l l t e v r e ry happy tempered going on as steady as clockwork, with • ali • ght lad on his back.
