4r, 1) Ts !; ITARKET AND COMMERa INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market to-day has shown symptoms of easiness, and therP, has consequently been a more favourable feelinig e ced. 'Ms downward ten dency of th e rPtes is due to an increased supply of capital at the command of brokers and others, and' they haws therefore been more willing to negotiate lusit*ss at a fraction below the Bank rate. Al orough 5 and 58 per cent. has been the quotation bankers' short-dated acceptances, the general charge for commercial bills has again been 6 per cent. About £20,000 in Yesterday. gold was taken into the Bin The Delhi, which left to-day for the East, con "veyed £38,302 in specie. There w as no material alteration in the foreign exchan ges yesterday afternoon. A new joint-stock association, called the Now gong Tea Company of Assam, has been brought forward, with a capital of £250,000, the first issue to consist of 18,000 shares of £lO each. The object is to purchase thirteen tea estates in Assam, and further to extend their cultivation. The property is well situated, and has been secured on advanta geous terms to the shareholders. The vendors have agreed to take a large number of shares, and, as a proof of their confidence of the success of the com pany, will guarantee a minimum dividend of 10 per cent. for the first three years. The prospectus of the Street Rolling-stock Com pany has just been issued. The company is formed to carry on the business of building, selling, repair ing, purchasing, exchanging, letting on hire, and generally dealing in street rolling-stock, viz., carts, wagons, vans, drays, and other trade vehicles. As the ordinary trade profit averages 25 per cent., and the capital employed may be turned at least twice, and sometimes three times, a-year, and the profits on repairs and letting on hire averages 20 per cent., the business of the company promises to be a very profitable one. The report of the Peel River Land and Mineral Company has just been issued. It states that the " balance due on revenue and expenditure amounts to £13,013 is. 6d., and there also stands to the credit of the reserve fund a sum of £3,185 Os. 7d., together amounring to £16,198 2s. ld., available for purposes of dividend and income-tax. Of the above amount £9,000 was appropriated as an in terim dividend in July last, and the directors now recommend that a further sum of £6,000, or one per cent., free of income-tax, be declared as a second dividend on the consolidated stock of the company, payable on and after the 24th January, 1865. Two O'CLOCK. An advance of i' per cent. has occurred in the value of the English Funds, and the market is con sequently a little buoyant. Consols for money are 891 4, and 894 8 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 4 ; Annuities, 1885, 141 7-16 ; Exchequer Bills, Is. to ss. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents., 1021 1038.

North-Eastern (Berwick) and Midland have each receded 55., and South-Western, 10s. ; while Brighton have improved 55., and Great Northern, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain inactive, at about previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, and show little change of importance in values.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mills pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per Al sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £8 178. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 8- ICtlis per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advic : s from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mirk and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterlinz. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-I , Jth per cent. dearer in Hamburg_ than in London. The , :ourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is abut 283 per cent., and the premium on gold is 141 per cent. At these rates there is a small prellt on the importation of god from the United Staters! M rilE SUN, LONDON, WELT lESDAI EVgMING, JANUARY 9, 1865. LAW INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day,) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Registrar Winslow.) INN RE T. ERICH-THE TRUST DEED QUESTION. This was an application in the matter of Mr Erich, a wholesale merchant, of 77, Newgate-street, that the estate should be taken out of bankruptcy, and it was stated that in accordance with the 185th section of the Act of 1861, a deed had been prepared, under which creditors to the extent of £lO,OOO agreed to accept ss. in the pound, This deed was signed by creditors representing the amount above al luded to, and the dissentient creditors only amounted to some £7OO. It was therefore now urged that the deed should govern the management of the estate, which should be removed from this court. Mr. Kearsay, on behalf of the creditors, stated that the bankrupt had made a fraudulent preference on behalf of his mother a very short time before the stoppage. In an swer to this, it was contended that, although the failure took place in July last, no steps had been taken by Mr. Kearsay until the present time. _ Mr. Bagley, Mr. Reed, and Mr. Sargood severally ad dressed the court, and it was finally resolved that when the composition of ss. in the pound should have been paid, tha bankruptcy should be annulled. Order accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—JAN. 3. (Before Mr. Registrar Hazlitt.) RE COLEMAN. The bankrupt, Henry Coleman, who came into court on his own petition, was a wine merchant, of 28, Regent street, Waterloo-place ; 13, Ridinghouse-street, Portland place ; and 6, Wells-street, Oxford-street ; lately residing at 44, Bessborough-gardens, Pimlico ; but now of 1, On slow-gardens, Brompton. The bankrupt had been trea surer and manager for Jean Francois Gravelet (M. Blon din). This was a first meeting. The bankrupt attributed his failure to having had consigned to him, and in part paid for, a large quantity of wine, to the value of £3!,000, which proved unsaleable. The bankrupt dis puted several of the claims, and declared the credi tors to be, on the contrary, indebted to him. He also charged fraud against one of them. The liabilities were very heavy, and included £12,600 claimed by M. Blondin, to whom the bankrupt had acted as treasurer and manager, and £lB,OOO to Vincente Morello, of Port St. Mary's, Spain, with whom bankrupt had extensive transac tions. This claim, however, was disputed. Mr. Bagley supported the proof ; Mr. Reed appeared for the bankrupt ; and Mr. Davis from the firm of Ashurst, Son, and Morris, appeared for other creditors. M. Blondin was then sworn, and deposed that he Lad known the bankrupt for some years both in America and in this country. Not being able to speak English, he made an arrangement with Mr. Coleman to act for him as agent, and he had done so, making engagements for all his performances. When the bankrupt borrowed this money he said he was tired of travelling, and wanted to go into business. Witness had not entered into partnership with the bankrupt, who had never acted acted for him except as agent for performances, and not for wine. He had heard that advertisements of Cole man, Blondin, and Co. had appeared in certain newspapers, but it was without his knowledge. He only laughed at them, but did not take any other notice. Had never told any creditor of the bankrupt's that he (Blondin) was a partner with the bankrupt. He had never told any one that he was a partner with Coleman, unless he may have done so in jest. Coleman had given him some cards to give away, and told him to say that he was a sleeping partner. He did not know the meaning of " sleeping partner." He had never given any of the cards away. There was not the name of Blondin on the cards at all—only Coleman and Co. He lent this money to the bankrupt in two sums, one of £5,000, and then the rest. He got a receipt for the £5,000 and then one for the whole amount. He had got that receipt, and could produce it. The bankrupt took all his receipts as his treasurer, and that accounted for his going sometimes to the office to ask him for money. Coleman "had an allowance of £lO a week and of 10 per cent. on the receipts, as agent for witness. _ _ _ The bankrupt was then sworn, and admitted that he had represented Blondin as being a partner with him, but not to get credit. He had made the statement frequently to get customers, but not creditors. The name of " Coleman, Blondin, and Co." was never used with his consent ; but it was used by the broker in connectionwith the sale of some wine of which he had been robbed. He could not contradict it, as he did not see the catalogue till afterwards. This was the only case in which the name of "Coleman, Blondin, and Co." was used with his knowledge, and then it was not used with his consent. No discussion ever took place between Blondin and himself as to a partnership between them. His commission from M. Blondin ceased before he went into the wine business. The Registrar held that it had not been shown that there was any partnership between the bankrupt and Blondin. Mr. Reed applied for an allowance to the bankrupt of £4 a-week, as the estate would realise £6,000 or £7,000, which was agreed to. The proof was ultimately admitted and an assignee chosen. The bankrupt received protection till his examination meeting. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW STREET. A young man named Henry Wade, and described him self as a hawker of newspapers, was charged with stealing 36 dozen copies of a publication called The Young English woman, from the office of the proprietor, M. S. 0. Beeton of the Strand. William Woods, a lad of about 12 years of age, errand boy toolai on the morningnewsvender in of the Shoe-la 24th of December, Shoe-lane, id that about he ae wasquar ter to in Mr. Beeton's office Temple Bar, when he saw the pri soner come in and take the parcel of papers away. It was tied up and directed. Yesterday, Mr. Webb came to his master's shop, and asked him what he knew about the robbery, and afterwards he and Mr. Webb went and saw the prisoner enter a newspaper office, when he was taken into custody. Mr. Webb, manager to Mr. Beeton, said that a parcel of publications called the The Young Englishwoman the trade price of which was 255., was stolen. From information he received he yesterday went to the shop of Wood's em ployer, and made some inquiries, when witness told him what he had seen. Ile then went with the boy to the office of the Standard newspaper in Shoe-lane, and in a short time the prisoner came in to purchase somo papers He was at once taken into custody. John Harrison, city police-constable No. 310, stated that the prisoner was given into his custody charged with the robbery. Alfred Thorp, packer in Mr. Beeton's service, said he made up the parcel which had been stolen. It contained 36 dozen of The Young Englishwoman. It was to 9 have gone to Manchester. He placed it in the passage at o'clock, and at half-past 10 it had disappeared. Mr. Vaughan asked whether ho should dispose of the case summarily or not ? The prisoner said he should like to have it settled then not in preference to go in g to trial. He, however, was guilty of the stealing. Mr. Vaughan said that after that assertion he should at once send him for trial. Tho depositions were then signed and the prisoner fey committed. Ellen Davis, a young w oman, aged 24, was placed before Mr. Vaughan, charged with having attempted to commit suicide. The story of the poor girl was of the most painful de scription. It appeared that she had formerly been ser vant at a house which she discovered was far from respd had ec table, and that in con se q uence she left abruptly, an some difficulty in obtaining the wages due to her. She then took lodgings in a house in York-place, Adelphi, and made great exertions to obtain a situation. Her efforts were fruitless, in consequence of the reference which she had to give to her last situation always being unsatisfac tory to the parties who applied on her behalf. This cir cumstance so pressed upon her mind, and being entirely friendless, her only relative being a brother, a soldier, who was abroad with his regiment, that she obtained a quan tity of laudanum, which she swallowed. She was taken to Charing-cross Hospital, and there attended to by the house-surgeon, and eventually she was brought to Bow street. Mr. Vaughan directed the prisoner to be remanded for a week, in order that some inquiry respecting her might be made. After the unfortunate young woman had been removed from the dock she was taken to the charge-room, but in a shorttime she became so unwell that she was immediately conveyed in a cab to the infirmary at the House of Detention. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING LADY HONORIA CADOGAN'S BRACELET.--JOhti Wright, a young man, described as an auctioneer's clerk, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a diamond and sapphire bracelet of the value of £5O, the property of Lady Honoria Cadogan, residing in South Audley-street. Mr. Finch, of Craven-street, Strand, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough street, for the prisoner. Mr. Finch, in opening the case, said that on the 21st Dec. last, Lady Honoria Cadogan was residing at the resi dence of the late Earl Cadogan, at No. 138, Piccadilly, and the prisoner, who was in the employ of Mr. Goodwin, house-agent, was engaged at the house in making valua tions. On the 21st of Dec. Lady Honoria Cadogan was putting away some jewellery, and a bracelet was left out, and shortly after missed by the lady's maid. Notice was subsequently given to the police, and the bracelet was found to have been sold at Mr. Attenborough's, Piccadilly, by the prisoner. Alfred Astley, assistant to Mr. Richard Attenborough, of 33, Piccadilly, pawnbroker, said,—On the 22d Dec. the prisoner brought the bracelet produced to the shop, and offered it for sale. I purchased it of the prisoner for 10 guineas. The stones had since been knocked out and sold. By Ur. Tyrwhitt—l never baw the prisoner before. He said he had purchased it at Messrs. Debenham and Stores for £l5, and, believing his statement, I purchased it. By Mr. Lewis—The shop is a pawnbroker's and a jewel ler's. When the prisoner first came in he spoke about pledging the bracelet, but afterwards said he would sell it I saw the prisoner a few days ago at the Vine-street station. I then said he was the person who left the brace let. I was fetched to see the prisoner by Butcher, 137 C. Butcher told me he had a man in custody who had taken the bracelet from Lady Honoria Cadogan's. We had seen the description of the bracelet in the Police List, and he then gave a description of the prisoner. I went to the station and saw the prisoner pass the window whilst I was standing in the charge-room. I had no doubt the prisoner was the same person, and recognised him at once. The stones were knocked out, because the bracelet was an un saleable one. I cannot tell to-day what the stones fetched. The prisoner gave an address in Conduit-street, and spoke with regret of the death of the late Mr. Storr. Grace Christophers, lady's maid to Lady Honoria Ca dogan, said—l recognise the bracelet produced as the pro perty of my mistress. I last saw it on the toilette table in my mistress's room, on the 21st December. I had seen the prisoner about the house, he being engaged in making va luations after the late Earl's death. He had access to all the rooms. On the 20th December the prisoner was en gaged in removing articles for the ladies. There were upholsterer's men about the house also. Butcher, 137 C_--_--I made inquiries and succeeded in tracing the bracelet to have been sold at Mr Attenborough's. I afterwards went to Mr. Alexander, of No. 16, Hatton garden—the address being given to me by Mr. Atten borough—and I was then sent to a working jeweller's in Benfield-street, Caledonian-road, where I received the bracelet. The first witness's description agreeing with that of prisoner, and finding that he was employed at the house in Piccadilly, I took him into custody on the 28th December. He was then locked,up at the Vine-street station and the next day brought before Mr. Knox, and there being no prosecution he was discharged. Since then Lady Honoria Cadogan had given instructions that the prisoner should be re-apprehended, and yesterday afternoon about three I took him into custody again. On doing so, and telling the prisoner the charge, he said, " Very well. I thought it was all over, as I was discharged by the magistrate." When I took the prisoner into custody on the former occa sion he said he had two or three small articles belonging to Lady Honoria Cadogan, and asked me to take care of them. If a remand be granted I shall be able on the next occasion to produce the diamonds and sapphires, as I have • ascertained where they are. Mr. Finch—l now ask for a remand. Mr. Lewis—l do not see the necessity for a remand: Mr. Tyrwhitt--I shall remand the prisoner for a week. THAMES. A SAVAGE.—Ann Murray, a tall and powerful Irish woman, who is one of the most audacious and disorderly of the Ratcliff-highway women, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting and wounding Amron Amis, a master mariner. The complainant, who had a surgical plaister on his left eye, said he was passing along High-street, Shadwell, yesterday morning, and saw a cluster of persons on the footpath, and hauled off into the road to avoid them, when the prisoner, without saying a word, and without the sem blance of provocation, struck him a violent blow on the eye, which staggered him. A serious wound was in flicted, and he bled profusely. He produced his handker chief saturated with gore. A young man, who was with him made some remarks on the prisoner's savage con duct, and the prisoner struck him in the same manner and wounded him. Mr Paget—Where is he ? Witness—He has gone to a shipping office to be paid off this morning. He signed the charge sheet. Police-constable Pye, No. 87 K, said he arrested the prisoner, who had been quarrelling with a man whom she accused of striking her on the mouth, and who ran away. The prisoner said in her defence that the complainant struck her on the mouth, and she hit him in return. The complainant said that he offered no violence to the prisoner ;he never touched or spoke to her. His hands were in his pockets, and she was quite a stranger to him. He really believed he was struck with a key or sharp in strument. Pye said the prisoner was the worse for liquor last night, and she had a quarrel with a man who struck her, before the prosecutor made his appearance. Mr. Paget said he could not take the other case of assault into consideration, because the person injured was not present, but if he liked to attend and apply for a sum mons he could have one. The prisoner had committed a savage and unprovoked assault on a respectable man quietly passing along the streets. It was necessary to pro tect quiet and decent persons from such characters as the prisoner. He sentenced her to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The Bank Returns.

The trade for all qua lities ruled firm, and the supply brought forward was dis posed of at Monday's advance in prices of is to 2s per quarter. About an average supply of foreign wheat was on the stands, and the trade for all qualities was firm. American produce was dealt in to a moderate extent, and the quota tions had an upward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full quotations. . _ There was a fair supply of barley on sale. Good and fine malting qualities moved off steadily at full prices ; otherwise the barley trade ruled inactive on former terms. Malt was in slow request, at late rates. With oats the market was fairly supplied. On the whole the trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. Beans were dull at Monday's decline in prices. Peas met a slow sale at late rates. The supplies of both articles on sale were small. The demand for flour was moderately active, and Mon day's quotations were well supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

TERRORS AND DANGERS OP THE IliGnwAY.—A GOOD CONTICTION.—Mary Ann Paul, aged 17, a prostitute, was charged with annoying and soliciting gentlemen, also fur ther charged, with James Madden, with assaulting a gen tleman named Charles Thomas,lin the Euston-road, St. Pancras. This case was adjourned fronqiionday for the reasons stated below. George Stancombe, police-constable, 289 S, stated about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning he saw the two prisoners, in company of several other young ptostitutes and their male followers in the Euston-road. The female stopped several gentlemen, who pushed her off. A gentleman named Thomas was passing along when he was' stopped by the female. He forced her on one side, saying lie wanted nothing of her. She again got to him, and asked him to go home with her, and he thrust her on one side All the females then scrambled up mud in their hands and threw at the gentle man. Madden went up and struck him on the eye, after which another man came and threw him into the. mud.. Witness then took the two prisoriers into custody. Their companions ran off. Mr. Yardley —Is Mr. Thomas Eresent ? Stancombe—lle is not. Mr. Yardley—What do you know of the prisoners ? Stancombe—The female has been here before, and the male prisoner is the constant associate of thieves. _ _ _ Madden indignantly denied this, and asserted that he could get an excellent character. He did not strike the gentleman. If he had done so, why was he not there to say so ? The constable had told a lot of lies. The female denied speaking td the gentleman, or throw ing any mud. Mr. Yardley observed that gr. Thomas ought to have been there afte r h av i ng s i gne d de charge-sheet. Madden —If y ou w ill a dj ou ri it I will bring witnesses to assert that the constable has told all false. Mr Yardley adjourned it till tD-day, an d to have Mr Thomas in Boners to get th e i r w it nesses, and told the pri attendance. Mr Thomas now said—He had j and was proceedin g lust left a friend's house on his way Wane, when he was stopped by the female prison er an d h er companions, who said they wished to speak to him, and asked him to go home with them. He pushed them on one side and walked on, t w h h e en w t o h rs e t. females The threw mud p r isoner (Madden) struck him mud at him, this female being on the side of his eye, blackenhig it as it now appeared. The female prisoner threw more mud at him. Another man then came up and threw hira into the mud. He was certain that the prisoners are the persons who assaulted him. In reply to Mr. Yardley the prisoners said that they had no witnesses. Mr. Yardley again asked the officer what he knew abo u t the prisoners. Stane female, l i n company with other youn g prostitutes, o habit of prowling about th e ombe are said nightly the in t Euston and rlampstead roads, stopping and annoying male foot passengers. Each one of them is followed by a man of the prisoner Madden's class, and these often waylay drunken men and rob them. Numerous complaints have been made. Mr. Yardley said—Just, as he suspected, young prosti tutes and young men as hunt, if he might so term it, in couples for plunder. They follow up persons either to ex tort money from them or to rob them. Madden was sentenced to two months' hard labour, and Paul to one month's hard labour. Madden—l will have two or more for him (Stancombe) when I come out. Mr. Yardley—l daresay you Will till you get sent to penal servitude. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

We have to announce the death of the Hon. Charles Henry Maynard, only son of Viscount Maynard, who expired at his house in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, on Monday, in his 51st year. He married, first, Lady Frances Julia Murray, sister of the late Duke of Athole ; sacondly, the daughter of Mr. Henry Fitzroy, by whom he leaves two daughters. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCITEY.—At the meeting of the board on the 3d instant, Viscount Ranelagh in the chair, James Goodson, Esq., the chairman of the Great Eastern Railway Company (proposed by Col. Brown low Knox , M.P.,tseconded by Captain Jervis, M.P.), was unanimously elected a member of the executive committee MR. BEECROFT, M.P.—The Leeds Working Men's Conservative Association gave a complimentary dinnner to Mr. G. S. Deecroft, the Conservative member for Leeds, on Monday evening last. The repast was served in the new Corn Exchange, and was presided over by Mr Middleton, the president of the association. Upwards of 600 persons were present at dinner, and many more were afterwards admitted. Besides the honoured guest of the evening three other members of Parliament were present, Mr W. Ferrand, Mr. F. S. Powell, and Major Edwards. The speeches of these gentlemen were not characterised by any new or striking features, being chiefly devoted to the enunciation of the idea that the Conservative party is now and always has been, as compared with the Whigs or Liberals, the most honest in principle and action, and that it was best for the country that that party should receive the support of the working as well as the middle and upper classes. Mr. Beecroft, in returning thanks for the toast of his health, seemed to avoid party politics, and confined himself to an expression of his gratitude for the mark of honour which had been conferred upon him by the Leeds Working Men's Association, and to some general remarks on the proper influence, physically, intellectually, and mo rally, of the working classes. THE ROBBERY BY LADY PHIPPS'S MAlD.—Yes terday Ellen West, who was committed for trial some time since on a charge of robbing Lady Phipps, was tried at the Berks sessions. Lady Phipps (who was ac companied in court by Sir Charles Phipps) gave evidence, and the prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. RESPITE OF TWO CONDEMNED CONVICTS.—The Secretary of State for the Home Department having considered the memorial agreed to at the public meeting held at Worcester, praying for a remission of the capital sentence passed upon the unhappy man Butler, and also having duly reviewed the wlnile of the circumstances of the case in conference with Mr Justice Byles, the learned judge who tried the case at the assizes, has thought fit to recommend that the clemency of the Crown should be ex tended in this case, and the sentence of death will there fore be commuted to penal servitude for life. The reprieve was forwarded from the Home-office last night to the Go vernor of Worcester Gaol. In the case of Ellis Green, lying in Kirkdale Gaol, who was convicted at the last assizes of the murder of his sister-in-law, and who was sentenced to death, the Secretary of State for the Home Department has thought fit to recommend that her Ma jesty's royal prerogative of mercy should be exercised on his behalf, and, as usual in similar cases, the capital sen tence will be commuted to penal servitude for life. The official intimation of the reprieve was forwarded to the Governor of Kirkdale Gaol last evening from the Home office. With regard to the case of the other wretched man, Brown, whose companion in guilt, Lindon, has been already respited, Sir George Grey has not, up to the present time, exercised his official authority to interfere with the sen tence being carried into effect as appointed by the sheriff, and the miserable wretch will therefore be executed on Saturday next at 12 o'clock. " ROPING" IN TEXAS.—A soldier of a Texan regi ment strolled beyond the lines, in Tennessee. A Federal picked espied him, pointed his musket, and cried, " Surrender." " Well, I suppose I must, seeing . ..I am without arms," replied the Texan, and he dropped pas sively into step with his captor, who, in his turn, " dropped" his musket, and proceeded to march into camp with his prisoner. The Texan ranger was " without arms," it is true, for a bit of rope in his hand was either unobserved or unregarded, till it was thrown as a lasso round the Yankee, and his arms—arms as to the flesh and firearms—were bound closely to his side. " I reckon you had better surrender to me now," said the Texan There was no help for it. A Texan with his hunter's wit and a handful of rope might pinion Achilles himself, I be lieve. "Roping" a kittten or an unlucky hen with a few yards of thick cord had been the fun of his childhood ; to rope beef and wild horse had been the ambition of his bo hood.—All the Year Round. PASSPORTS FOR AMERICA.—The official order re specting passports is as follows :—" Department of State, Washington, Dec. 17.—The President directs that, except immigrant passengers directly entering an Ameri can port by sea, no traveller shall hereafter be allowed to enter the United States from a foreign country without a passport. If a citizen, the passport must be from this de partment or from some United States minister or consul abroad; and, if an alien, from the competent authority of his own country—the passport to be countersigned by a diplo matic agent or consul of the United States. This regula tion is intended to apply especially to persons proposing to come to the United States from the neigbouring British provinces. Its observance will be strictly enforced by all officers, civil, military, and naval, in the service of the United States; and the State and municipal authorities are requested to aid in its execution. It is expected here that no immigrant passenger coming by sea in the manner afore said will be obstructed, or any other persons who may set out on their way hither , before intelligence of this regula tion could reasonably be expected to reach the country from which they may have started.—WlLLlAM H. SE WARD, Secretary of State," 1151 I 5 ,ITIES. An Adventure in the Bush, Mr. J. P. Donnelly, who is on a visit to Messrs. C. and C. A. Brown, at Matapiro, had last month a narrow escape from a " very unpleasant position." Finding himself alone at the home station on the afternoon of the 24th June, Mr. Donnelly deter mined to go to the out-station at the west end, about ten miles off, with the intention of enjoying some pig hunting on the following day. He accordingly started with his blankets, and, fortunately, a piece of bread and a pocket-flask of brandy ; and having only at the last moment thought of taking the bread (the out-station being short of flour at the time), he carried it in his hand instead of packing it on the saddle. Having started somewhat late in the afternoon, darkness overtook him when among the small hills about three miles from the out; station ; and as the whare is not an easy place for a stranger to find in the daytime, Mr. Donnelly thought it would be useless to attempt it by night ; so he returned on his tracks, and reached the Ma tapiro Flat in safety. About this flat he appears to have wandered for about three or four hours, when, on his horse refusing to proceed, he got off and tried to lead the animal, carefully feeling his way step by step, when in an instant he found himself hanging over he knew not what, with every chance of pulling the horse on to him. He let go the bridle and fell, or rather partly slipped and partly fell over 40 feet, when he was brought up by a small piece of flat a fewyards wide, very much bruised, but no bones broken. He expended the few matches he had in exploring the lo cation, but finding he could make nothing of it he re signed himself to his fate, and passed a miserable night waiting for morning. It rained hard, and the wind was high, so that it was all he could do to keep his limbs from chilling by rubbing first one and then another, while his ankle being slightly strained did not mend matters. When day broke he found himself part of the way down the precipitous•banks of the Ngaruroro. He could go about 100 yards each way ; but there was the precipice above, and a fearful fall below of 200 feet on to the shingle. He found a place where, by going down a hole like a chimney, he could get at a tiny stream of water, but could see no way out. He passed the whole of the 25th in trying to climb up first one place and then another—" cooeying " without intermission —with, however, not the smallest probability of anyone hearing him. He managed to put up a small shelter about 2ft. high, and, hoping for better luck next day, passed another miserable night. On the 26th he tried to make a flax rope, but the flax was all rotten, and the heavy stones with which he first tried his manufactures invariably broke them, so he again paced his limbs backwards and forwards, trying first one place and then another, as before, occasionally going down the chimney to replenish his flask with water. He felt very thirsty, but not all hungry, eating very sparingly of his bread. This day he fancied he saw some men try ing to catch a horse, and " cooeyed" more repeatedly than ever ; but the horses and men were all cab bage trees, and night again closed in upon him with no improvement in his prospects. On the 27th he again commenced his weary pacing up and down, and fruitless attempts to climb up the face of the precipice, till about noon he found himself growing weaker, and then resolved to try one last chance— that was either safety or certain death. He had seen the place at first, but left it as quite a last re source, the chances being so very great against suc cess. At the end of one of his boundaries there was a shelf of clay, leaning at a very considerable angle, and extended more than 100 yards. At the end of this the bank was not quite so steep, and there were some scrubs growing. Mr. Donnelly having made up his mind that the time was come, took off his boots and socks, tied his garments to his limbs, com mended his soul to God, and started. Step by step, he cut a foothole with his pocket knife ; the least shake in the clay, the least slip of a foot, would have launched him into eternity. An hour passed, he was still safe, still working steadily on. In ano ther half-hour he had reached the scrub, and in ten minutes more was on the bank, thanking God for his escape from a very unpleasant position. Mr. Donnelly is a good deal bruised, and considerably reduced, but otherwise not much the worse for his adventure.—Hawke's Bay Herald. The New Year's Congratulations. Pans, Jan. 3. At the reception, on New Year's-day, M. Troplong, the President of the Senate, addressed the following speech to the Emperor :—" Sire,—Upon this day, which families celebrate with joy, the great French family again manifests its sentiments of gratitude towards its revered chief. The Senate is only its faithful echo in laying before your Ma jesty its hopes for the duration of this beneficent and glo rious reign, and its wishes for a long and happy future to the Empress and the Prince Imperial." The Emperor replied :—" I thank the Senate for its good wishes. Every year, at this period, legitimate hopes ma nifest themselves in the midst of certain apprehensions. But if we look back, we almost always see that the hopes have been realised and the fears have vanished. I am happy to believe that the same will be the case this year ; and I reckon upon the Senate to maintain with me that confidence in the future which alone assures the destinies of a people." His Excellency Duke de If orny, President of the Corps Ldgislatif, addressed his Majesty as follows :—" Sire, — The Corps Ligislatif is happy to offer its congratulations and its good wishes to your Majesty upon the occasion of the new year, for it knows that every fresh year aug ments the strength of your Government, and increases the attachment of France to your Majesty and your dynasty." The Emperor replied—" I am always happy to receive the congratulations of the Corps ligislatif, and to thank it for the loyal assistance it has constantly afforded me." His Excellency M. Vuitry, the Minister presiding over the Council of State, addressed the following observations to his Majesty :—" Sire,—l have the honour to present to your Majesty the members of the Council of State. Deign, Sire, to accept the respectful homage of the sincere wishes we all entertain for the happiness of the Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Prince." The Emperor replied—" I am very glad to take this op portunity at the renewal of the year of thanking the Coun cil of State for its zeal and devotion ; I have no doubt that the great labours by which it is occupied will further contribute this year to enhance the reputation of that When the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour presented to the Emperor the deputation from the great officers of the Legion and the Council of the Order, his Majesty said to the Count de Flahault :—" I am happy to see at the head of the Grand Chancellery of the Legion of Honour an old general of the First Empire and the last aide-de-camp of the Emperor." President Vaisse addressed his Majesty as follows, in the name of the Court of Cassation :—" Sire,—Allow me to hope that your Majesty will kindly deign to accept the NeW 7 year's wishes and the respectful and faithful homage of the Court of Cassation." The Emperor replied :—" I thank tho Court of Cassation for its good wishes and the distinguished manner in which it fulfils its high mission." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TUESDAY.

THE CHARMS OF TEXA S. — Sometimes, while Young Texas is breaking in a mustang, he may be threat ened at one moment by wild cats above, and snakes b e low, with, perhaps, a bear, a boar, or a panther within hail. But he comes safely out of any difficulty. With a firm, sure seat in the saddle, one hand at least is free. His lasso is ready, his barrels are all loaded, his knives and daggers sharp. He tames his wild mustang, so far as a Texan's notion of " taming" goes, and rides home to dinner, without giving so much as a second thought to the little brushes with wild cats and rattlesnakes.—Dickens's " 411 the Year Round." THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The following appeared in our Lata Union 02 list eTening :--) In accordance with previous arrangements the parties desirous of witnessing the pugilistic contest between Andrew Marsden, of Nottingham, and Joe Wormald, for £2OO a side and the championship of England, assembled early this morning at the Euston-station of the North Wes tern Railway. Late last night, after a. very long discussion it was arranged that the train we have mentioned should be the means of enabling the combatants to settle their respective claims to the belt of the champion of England, but the cold and piercing weather no doubt prevented a very large attendance. In order to prevent police interference the precise locality fixed upon f or the encounter was kept, as it was imagined, a profound secret, but the result of the day's trip will prove that such was not the case; the num ber of passengers generally leaving London by the 6.30, train is considerable, and iv t consequence of an unusually great addition to that number a delay of nearly half an hour was expe rienced, as it became necessary to attach several additional carriages to the train. A few minutes before seven, however, everything was arranged, and the train moved out of the station. At the Cheddington Station the train drew up, and the parties accompanying Wormald and Marsden had to change carriages, and this having been accom plished the train proceeded to its destination.

RENEWAL OF THE FIGHT.—(THIS DAY.) This morning the South-Eastern Company were patronised by a couple of hundred sporting men of various classes, who were anxious to avail them selves of a train to the place which they had fixed upon for the fight which they failed to bring to a successful issue yesterday. Just before eight o'clock they found that they b su i ma d e a mistake, and that the South-Eastern Railway did not run to the right place, whereupon they rushed to the Brighton station at London Bridge, and to the amazement of the officials demanded tickets for Horley. _ The arrangements on the Brighton line are always good, and this sudden de mand, just as the train was preparing for depart ure , in no way disconcerted them. The tickets were de livered without much difficulty, and few addi tional carriages having been put on, the train was on its way. At Horley the whole body of men got out, and made their way to Copthorn, which is on the border of three counties, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. It was a very quiet unfrequented spot. The fight lasted 37 minutes, during which time 18 rounds were fought. Wormald was declared the victor. LONDON GAZETTE—Last Evening, FOREIGN OFFICE, DEC. 17.
