The imports into London last week was as follows :-4,382 bales from Adelaide, 2,511 Melbourne, 9,449 Port Philip, 707 Sydney, 441 Mosul Bay, 1,230 Port Natal, 656 Taganrog, 953 Constantinople, and about 200 bales from sundry ports.

Good and fin' barley was in request at fully late rates ; otherwise, the trade ruled quiet at about previous quotations. On the Continent the corn trade generally is inactive, yet prices in most instances have ruled stationary. At New York wheat, flour, and maize are very dull, and scarcely any business is doing for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad consisted of 4,085 qrs. of wheat; 8,826 barley; 18,253 oats; 1,055 rye; 1,760 beans ; 170 peas ; 1,747 tares ; 45,659 linseed ; 13,686 rapeseed ; 2,700 maize ; and 1,816 qrs. sundries. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day, both from Essex and Kent, were small, and the condition of the produce was greatly affected by the pre vailing damp weather. Owing to tho limited supply on offer dry samples were taken off readily, and were disposed of at an early hour, at the full prices of Monday last. Damp produce met a dull inquiry; nevertheless, the bulk of the supply changed hands, and, compared with Monday last, the quotations realised exhibited no material altera tion. • Only a moderate supply of foreign wheat was on the stands. Good and prime old qualities were in fair ave rage request at fully late rates ; otherwise, the foreign wheat trade was dull on former terms. New Russian qua lities were very difficult of sale. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late rates. The supply of good and fine barley on sale being small, selected qualities fully supported previous quota tions, and sold somewhat readily. Inferior barley—of which there was a moderate supply on offer—met a dull inquiry at about stationary prices. About an average business was transacted in malt at full culTencies. There was a moderate supply of barley on sale. Good and fine samples moved • off steadily at fully late rates. Inferior produce sold slowly on former terms. Beans were in short supply, and the trade for them was steady at full quotations. No change took place in the value of peas compared with Monday last. The supply on offer was small, and the trade quiet. Very little barrel flour was on offer. For English and foreign sacks there was a moderate demand at about pre vious rates. CURRENCY PER IMP.

For the time of year, the supply of foreign stock on offer here, to-day, was good, but its quality was by means first rate. Sales progressed slowly, but at full quotations. Tho arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, were very moderate. Most breeds, however, made their appearance in good condition. The beef trade ruled firm, at an advance in the quotations compared with Mondaylast, of 2d. per 81b., and a clearance N'vas effected. The best Scots and crosses realised ss. Gd. per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire we received 1,800 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 195 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was limited, and in but middling condition. About one-third of the supply was out of the wool. The mutton trade was firm, at fully last week's prices. The general top figure was Gs. 2d. per 81b. Downs and half bred tigs, with prime fleeces, produced quite 6s. 4d. per 81b. ; shorn Downs sold at ss. per 81b.

This was an action to recover the sum of £2lB from the executors of the late Mr. Cousins, a barrister, for attend ance and medical treatment given to the daughter of the• deceased, who had been labouring undor a curvature of the spine for some years. From the statement of counsel and other evidence, it appeared that the deceased had been under the care of several medical men without deriving any benefit,and that in July, 1863, the deceased consulted the plaintiff, a. surgeon of eminence, residing at Old Burlington-street, and senior medical officer of the Orthopaedic Hospital. Ho treated her surgically for a period of two years, and she became perfectly restored to health, and was since married. The charge was made at the rate of £1 is. a visit, but the exe cutors refused to pay more than £122 35., being at the rate of only half-a-guinea a visit, upon which the plaintiff I instituted the present proceedings. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTEL LIGENCE, —This Day• MANSION HOUSE. THE ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON INSURANCE COMPANIES. —James Arnott, Wm. Sedgwick, and Charles Thew were placed before the Lord Mayor, charged with conspiring together to obtain, and obtaining by fraudulent .pretences, from the Royal Exchange Insurance and other insurance and assurance companies large sums of money with intent to defraud. The charge proceeded with to-day was that the pri soners, all engaged at Merriton's wharf, sent in claims for a certain number of bales of jute, nearly 1,000, to the in surance offices, alleging that the property had been destroyed by the fire which took place at Merriton's wharf in November last year. Josiah Fay, a labourer at Barrey's Wharf.—Until re cently I was in the service of Messrs. Barrey Brothers, Merriton's Wharf, Dock-head. I was discharged at Christ mas last. I left in consequence of the slackness occasioned by the fire.. My duties were to take the weights of goods landed or to do labourer's Ark. It was part of my duty to assist in storing goods away. I have occasionally taken the weight of bales of jute. I recollect in the summer of last year the ship Onward arriving. I took the weights of the goods (bales of jute) brought by the ship. I entered the weights of jute in a landing book. The tallies were fastened to each bale with a piece of wire. The marks on the bales were the letter S above the letter C, with a figure 4 on the left hand side. Mr. Sergeant Atkinson asked what Mr. Humphreys intended to prove by the course he was adopting. He ob jected to asking fitness anything that could be proved by the production of the property in court. Mr. Humphreys said he proposed to show that certain returns of jute as destroyed were made to the insurance offices, which jute was now in existence at another wharf at the present moment. Examination continued—l took the weight of more than 500 bales ex the Onward, and I saw the tallies affixed to the goods. The name of the ship and the weight of the goods were marked on the tallies. Before the bales were marked they were taken into the yard and stored. The goods were not moved from the stack until after the fire in November. After the fire on the Bth of December, I assisted in taking down part of the stack. Mr. Sedgwick, the prisoner, gave me orders to break down 200 bales for delivery. I was assisted to do so by a man named Burgess. Burgess asked Sedgwick if he were to pick out any particular weights. He said, "No, take them as they rThe, this 200 will furnish the ship, the rest are for us." I and Burgess took the 200 bales down. Sedgwick was our foreman. I don't recollect seeing Arnot on that occasion, but some days after the Bth of December I heard Arnott say to Sedg wick, as he was standing near the new warehouse, that Mr. John was in a very bad way about the stock of jute by the Onward being over. A few days after a man named Callaghan and myself received some directions as to the bales of jute from the Onward by Sedgwick. We were told to take the tallies of the remaining bales of the On ward jute. We were to place them so as they could be moved in a truck for re-storing. We were to be particular ; we took the tallies off, and put them into a bag, and when the job was finished the tallies were to be burnt. A small bag was brought by Sedgwick for the purpose, and placed upon some timber near the stack. We took down the stack and put the tallies into the stack, as directed. The bales were taken away and placed in another part of the premises. Sedgwick was present during the whole of the day directing the works. I saw Mr. Arnott and Mr. Alfred Barry also present in the early part of the day. Later in the day Dell came and "blew me up" in presence of Mr. John Barry and Sedgwick about not returning some " spanners" that had been borrowed. On the Friday that I left I observed a great quantity of. that pro perty on the wharf. There were about 350. They then had on them tallies marked "City of Dublin." They were in the new warehouse. I went upstairs and saw them when I went to get something I had left. When I came back I asked Sedgwick what he had directed Burgess to ask me what I went up stairs for. I asked him if ho thought I was going to put a bale of jute in my pocket. I also saw some of the bales re-marked as having arrived by other ships. Just after I left the wharf I went on the 4th of January and gave information of what I saw to the in surance officers. On the 11th of January I went to Merri ton's wharf. Arnett, Mr. Alfred Barry, Mr. Whiting, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Radnall wero there. The case was proceeding when we went to press. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A GENTLEMAN'S WATCH. —Henry Hart, ad dress refused, calling himself a commission-agent, and Ann Stevens, an unfortunate, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr. Silicourt Antelme, of No. 15, Lansdown-crescent, Not ting-hill. Mr. Antelme said, he was in the Haymarket on Saturday night when he felt his watch pulled, and he was told by some persons that it had been taken from him. He then found it was gone, and his chain was hanging down in front of him. The value of the watch was about £B. Inspector James Thomson, of the Detective Force, after proving that the female prisoner made three attempts to rob gentlemen, the male prisoner being close by, he on each occasion said, that being joined by Police-constable Gordon, 33 C, in plain clothes, he continued to watch the prisoners, and saw the male prisoner put his right hand into the pocket of the prosecutor's waistcoat and take out his watch, and with a jerk and a twist wrench it from the chain. The male prisoner' then put his hand down, and the female put out her hand as if to take something. At this moment Gordon seized the male prisoner, and he (Thomson) seized the female, and the watch dropped to the ground. The prisoners were then taken to the station, and while the charge was being entered the male prisoner made a rush out of the dock, pushed a constable aside, and made off, but was captured near the door and brought back. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great Marlborough-street, who appeared for the male prisoner, said his client would plead guilty. Mr. Louis Lewis cross-examined the inspector on be half of the male prisoner, but without altering the com plexion of his evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt remarking that In spector Thomson was a very awkward person to handle in the way of cross-examination. Gordon, 33 C, having corroborated a portion of tho in spector's evidence, Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on the female pri soner's behalf, stating that there were no convictions against her. Inspector Thomson said that was not the case—ho be lieved there wore several, and that if a remand were granted they should be able to prove them. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners for a week. THAMES. Homan - NG AND ROBBERY.—EIIen Barry, 34, and Ann Jamieson, 34, two notorious thieves,' were brought before Mr. Patridge charged with hocussing and robbing William Hook, the master of the ship Hector. The prosecutor met with Jamieson in the street, and treated her with liquor. He went home with her to a notorious den, No. 4, Seven Star-alley, St. George-in-the- East, where he saw the other woman, Barry. He had some beer with them, and he had no doubt it was drugged with a narcotic, for he became drowsy and very giddy after wards. His watch and gold chain, valued at £lO, were taken from under the pillow of the bed on which he was lying. He was then conscious of what the women were about, and recovered his watch and chain. The women promised not to interfere with his property again, and he replaced his watch and chain under the pillow, and was soon asleep. When ho awoke the women were gone, and his watch and chain had disappeared. A constable named Isaac Pawsey, No. 485 K, was called in, who soon found the prisoners and took them into custody. The watch and chain were found at the Hoop and Grapes public-house, in Ratcliff-highway. Mrs. Elizabeth Shepherd, the landlady of the Hoop and Grapes, said that Barry brought the watch and chain to her house, and left them with her be cause she was unable to pay for some beer and liquors she called for. In answer to questions. by Mr. Partridge, the witness said she had occasionally received things of women of the town and others not for purchase and profit but for temporary deposit. The prisoner had no money of her at all. Captain Hook said ho should not have lost his watch and chain if he had not been hocussed. He was certain his beer was drugged—he was stupified with it. Pawsey said that seafaring men were often stupified and robbed by the infamous women of the district who entrapped captains and mates into their vile places. Both prisoners had often been in custody. Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial, and to mark his displeasure of the conduct of Mrs. Shepherd, who had received a watch and chain of a prostitute, he should not give her a certificate for her expenses.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 11 per raffle pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.17 1 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 1-ICth per Cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on gold 127 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of go'd from the United States. ' 1853 Funeral of the Marchioness a •f Londonderry, On Saturday, the 28th ultimo, the grave closed over all that was mortal of Frances Anne, Marchioness of Londonderry. It is scarcely more than eight months since the little village of Longnewton—a village inti mately connected with the history of the family of Vane—presented a scene similar to that witnessed on Saturday. We allude to the occasion of the funeral of Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest. Cut off in the early prime of his existence, he was buried on a bright summer's day, in the leafy month of June, when the birds carolled cheerfully overhead, as if mocking the grief and sorrow that pressed on the hearts of those who followed his remains to the grave. The death of that young noble man —who at one time promised to add no mean lustre to his already illustrious family—struck deeply at the heart of his noble mother, who had watched his public career with peculiar feelings of delight. Eight months ago that mother wept, as only a loving mother can weep,, at the early death of a favourite son ; and now the noble mourner herself is gone, and relatives and friends grieve because she is no more. It is sad to think that the death of Lady Londonderry was hastened, in some degree, by the blow which smote the family in June last in the death of Lord A. Vane Tempest. Her ladyship's great affection for her son rendered her grief at his death most keen and poignant; and the Mar chioness never recovered from the effects of that bereave ment. In accordance with the expressed wish of the de seased, the funeral was a private one. In deference to this wish many hundreds of persons denied themselves the melancholy privilege of attending her ladyship's burial. Had the funeral been a public one, it is easy to imagine what an immense concourse of persons would have been found following in the ttack of that sad and melancholy procession which travelled between Darlington and Long newka on Saturday last. Her ladyship, it will be re membered, died at Seaham Hall; and it was to be ex pected that the neighbouring town of Seaham Har bour—which owes its origin and prosperity to the family of the deceased marchioness—should show, by outward manifestations, the loss the inhabitants had sustained. Ac cordingly on Saturday all shops and other places of busi ness were closed, and business in the town, as well as at the various collieries belonging to the late Marchioness,was completely suspended. The flags at the - docks, at the vari ous public offices, and on the shipping in the docks were half-mast high. As early as seven o'clock in the morning the 2d Durham Artillery (Seaham Harbour), the volunteers who were to take a part in the funeral proceedings at the hall, mustered at the barracks, under the command of Major Mann. Shortly before eight they proceeded, in re view order, to the hall, and took up a position in open column in front. Immediately the coffin was seen to ap proach from the west end of the mansion, the battalion pre sented arms, and on the body approaching they received it with reversed arms. Prior to this a large body of civi lians, numbering about three hundred, comprising the in fluential residents of the town and neighbour hood, had met in accordance with a resolution passed at a public meeting, and proceeded to the hall to pay the last homage of respect, arid took up their places behind the volunteer ranks. The procession then formed, Major Mann, Captain Dacres, Captain Smith, Captain D. Mann, Captain Brough, and Captain Thorman, Lieut. Lindsay (of Sunder land), and Dr. Beatty (surgeon to the brigade), acting as pall-bearers. The band of the brigade, playing the " Dead March" in Saul, headed the cortege, followed by the hearse bearing the body, which was guarded by a detachment of volunteers on each side. Nextjin order were the officials connected with her ladyship, then six companies of volun teers (about 260 in number), the residents and tradesmen being in the rear. Mr. R. Anderson, Mr. Richard Wilson, Mr. T. G. Shaw, and Mr. John Daglish (the deceased's agents), followed in their private carriages. On the arrival of the procession at the Hall Station, the volunteers wore halted, and rested on their arms, reversed, until the body was placed in the railway carriage, the band taking up its position on the platform. An immense crowd of persons, about 3,000 or 4,000, assembled in front of the hall and along the route of the procession. On account of the great pressure at the station, it was with some difficulty the body could be got into the railway carriage. The train consisted of four first-class carriages, a van, and a carriage truck. The members of the family, with the immediate relatives and friends of the late Marchioness, filled the four carriages. The chief mourners were the Earl and Countess Vane, Earl and Countess Portarlington, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, Rev. F. Law and Lady Adelaide Law. The following were also among those who occupied the car riages :—The Rev. A. Bethune, vicar of Seaham ; the Rev. D. M. Cust, Incumbent of St. John's, Seaham liar• bour ; the Rev. W. A. Scott, Incumbent of New Seaham _ _ Mr. Shaw, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Wilson, some of the; principal servants of the hall, and an old porter who has been in the service of the family for forty years, and who had been brought down from Holdernesse House to attend the funeral. Eight of the officers of the volunteer corps also accompanied to officiate as pall bearers. The volunteers marched from the station headed by their band playing through the town, and were dismissed at the drill shed. At the north and south batteries minute guns were fired from 1 until 2 o'clock. The train left the station a few minutes after 9 o'clock for Sunderland, whence it proceeded via the dock coal line to the PensherbranCh, and so on to the main lino for Darlington. The train•reached Darlington at ten minutes to 11 o'clock. Outside the sta tion a largo and eager crowd was assembled. A number of gentlemen were awaiting the arrival of the train at Darlington, among whom we noticed the Right Hon. J. R. Mowbray, M.P. for the city (the hon. gentleman having left London on the previous evening) ; the Rev. G. T. Fox, incumbent of St. Nicholas, Durham, of which church Lady Londonderry had the patronage; the Rev. Edward Sneyd, late Vicar of St. Oswald's, and one of the Minor Canons of Durham Cathedral (who had been in almost daily attendance on her ladyship dur ing her illness, and in whose ministrations she took great interest) ; William Henderson, Esq., Durham ; F. D. John son, Esq., Aykley Heads, Durham ; the Rev. Francis Thompson, incumbent of St. Giles, Durham (his living having been in the gift of Lady Londonderry, who ap pointed Mr. Thompson to the incumbency); Joseph Dodds, Esq., Stockton (who for many years acted as legal adviser to her ladyship) ; F. Mewburn, jun., Esq, Darlington, &c., &c. After a short delay the coffin was removed from the railway van to the hearse ; and the mourning coaches hav ing received their occupants, at a quarter past 11 the cor tege was on its way along the road to Longnewton. In _ .• . _ passing through Darlington, although we heard not the toll of the passing bell, we saw the bowed and sorrowful look of the crowds of individuals, who, thus brought into such close proximity with the trappings of death, failed not to show that a subdued and solemn feeling had for a time at least taken possession of their minds. The follow- ing is the order of procession from the Darlington station:— First Mourning Coach—Major Mann, Captain Mann, Captain Smith, Captain Brough. Second Mourning Coach— Captain Thorman, Captain Dakers, Lieutenant Lindsay, Dr. Beatty. THE HEARSE. Third Mourning Coach Duchess of Marlborough, Countess of Portarlington, Countess Vane, Lady Adelaide Law.

Among those who had private carriages following in the funeral procession were the Hon. and Rev. F. Clements, vicar of Norton, and W. Scurfield Grey, Esq. A number of other carriages contained the Right Hon. J. R. Mowbray, W. Henderson, Esq., Geo. Wilkinson, Esq., Oswald House ; F. D. Johnson, Esq., Rev. F.

Hopkins, Esq., Elton Hall, &c., &c. The procession reached Longnewton about half-past 12, and the tiny bell of the little church was heard tolling its dismal requiem for the dead. The entrance to the church yard was kept by a body of policemen, a very large crowd being assembled, not only of villagers, but of aged men and women who had evidently travelled to witness the obsequies of one whose nuptials they had seen celebrated at the same church, when sho who was now deceased was a blooming maiden of nineteen. Every tongue was hushed and silent, yet the faces of those present showed that they wore by no means unmoved spectators. The mourners having alighted, the procession was formed, the corpse having been met at the gates by the Bishop of an t d on s e o s o : the Durham, the Rev. E. Sneyd, the Rev. A. Bethune, and the n e disturbed s solemn si o n, Rev. E. Castley. The introductory portion of the Burial f I feet, sounds and pthr t ao h te Service was read by the Bishop, the grand old words of f t u h n e e tt l ur air.

The mourners having retired, the crowd of bystanders were admitted into the gloomy recess, and it was some time bafore the curiosity of all was gratified. The coffin consisted, first, of a mahogany shell, encased in lead, the outer coffin being of polished oak, handsomely panelled, with massive gilt handles. On a brass plate were the words—" The Honourable Frances Anne Marchioness of Londonderry, born 17th January, 1800, died 20th January, 1863." Shortly after one o'clock, the mourners re-entered their carriages and drove back to Darlington, whence the family took train to Seaharn. Those whom the funeral had brought together spent a good deal of tithe in inspecting the beautiful little church of Longnewton, which has long been a place of interment of the Vane family. The church was rebuilt between eight and nine years ago, at the ex pense of the deceased Marchioness and her family. At that time a mausoleum was erected at the north-east corner of the church, immediately over the family vault of the Vanes. At the same time a new family vault was er ected. The Marquis of Londonderry was interred here on the 16th of March, 1854, and to whose memory there now exists a magnificent monument, the work of Sig. Monti— one of the finest specimells of_scalpture to be found in the kingdom. The likeness of the Marquis is pronounced to be most striking. Another monument, but recently erected, strikes the eye and touches the heart of the visitor. It is to the memory of the late Lord Adolphus Vane Tem pest, whose remains were interred on Friday, the 17th of June, 1864. The tablet is of pure white marble, and is beautifully enriched with carved branches of the drooping willow. The whole is supported by a ground of black marble, which affords appropriate relief. The tablet con tains the following simple yet deeply touching inscrip tion :—" Adolphus Frederic Charles William Stewart Vane Died June 11, 1864. To a Tempest .beloved s son Bornfrom Julyhs 2mourning 1.825 "I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." (St. John xi. 25, 26.) The tablet, we understand, was executed by Messrs. W. H. Burke, of Regent-street, London, and was fixed three weeks ago. The funeral was undertaken by Messrs. 0. Bragg and Co., Pilgrim-street, Newcastle. All the arrangements, which seemed to be complete and satisfactory, were left in the hands of a member of the establishment—Mr. T. F. Potts. DURHAM.—In accordance with a public request made by the Mayor (Ald. G. Robson), the shops in this city were partially closed between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock. This request of the Mayor was generally complied with. Had the funeral not been held on market day, the shops would have been altogether closed during the afternoon. Under the circumstances a partial observance of the day was all that could be expected. The Cathedralbells were tolled, and a muffled peal sent forth its mournful sounds from St. Nicho las' belfry during the afternoon. At St. Nicholas' Church on Sunday the pulpit, reading desk, and Communion table were draped in mourning. FUNERAL SERVICE AT SEAHAm.—On Sunday morning a special service, in connexion with the funeral, was con ducted by the Rev. Angus Bethune, vicar of Seaham, in the old Seaham Church, which stands a short distance from the hall. The structure is not very large, and is exceed ingly plain both in its external and internal appearance. The communion table, pulpit, reading desk, and tho family pew were draped with black cloth. The congregation was not very large, being com posed of the family and relatives of the late Marchioness, the servants, tenants in the neighbourhood, and a few gentlemen from Seaham Harbour. The following occupied pews near the pulpit :—The Earl and Countess Vane, Lord Seaham and the Hon. Henry Vane, the Duke of Marlborough and the Marquis of Blandford, Earl and Countess Portarlington, the Rev. Mr. Law and Lady Adelaide Law, John V. Stewart, Esq.,. Rock Hill, Ireland, and Mr. Wilson. The prayers, lessons, and the whole of the service were read in an impressive manner by the vicar. All present seemed to be deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion and the subject of the rev. gen tleman's discourse. EAsISGToN.—The bells of Easington Church were tolled as the hour appointed for the interment approached. Minute guns were fired at Seaham from half-past 1 till 2 o'clock. The London Tavern Company—This Day, The second ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern this day, Alderman Abbifis, the chairman of the company, presiding. The Ciutamex, in opening the proceedings, said the affairs of the company were in a most satisfactory condi- ion, and Messrs. Staples and Shatir had extended this guarantee to the end of the year to enable the directors to close their account on the 31st of December. There was some discrepancy in the ac counts, because the directors considered it wotild be more desirable to pay the dividend free of income-tax than to deduct it, so that the dividend represented the gross amount. They had paid £50,000 for the purchase of the premises where they were assembled, and they had already been offered £BO,OOO for their purchase. At a previous meeting some of the shareholders thought it would be de sirable to have a more detailed account in the balance-sheet, and he was prepared, according to a promise he had made, to furnish it, but at the same time he thought it would be injudicious to admit the public into the secrets of their business. The meeting was unanimous in favour of the opinion of the chairman, who concluded by the adoption of the report, which recommended a dividend of 7s. per share on 12,000 shares, and the statement of profit and loss account. Sir P. CUSACK Ron (a director) seconded the motion, which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some questions, said that it was not intended to make a call to meet the £50,000 for the purchase of the freehold, as the directors would not bo satisfied with 5 per cent. for their money, at which interest it could be borrowed. The retiring directors and auditors having been re elected, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE ROPE-TYING FEAT.--The following is said to be an accurate description of the way in which the rope-tying feat is performed:—The rope should be of a firm, smooth quality, about five or six yards long. Take it by the left hand in the centre, holding it between the left thumb and forefinger perpendicularly before you. Take hold with the right hand of the upper end of the rope, about a foot above where you are holding with the left hand ; bring the two thumbs together, placing the portion of rope in the right hand behind the portion already under the left thumb ; thi s w ill ma k e a l oop a b out f our inches in diameter leaning on the left-hand sid e o f th e first end of the. , and pull the second end over the thumb and through the loop,. inches rope, which is still hanging straight before you ; then pass and pass along the second end, and double it into d : under the por the double portion held in the right d il l; the end through; then pass the right band z t ib l o o n op t , six hang down in tio t n he co c v en eri t : e g by th th e e le s f i t deof already formed in the hand, letting .tend ; pull tight the two thumb, t of the loop d e re knot is complete. You side portions of the loops, iin enough to pose the hands will then have two loops large nde which will slip freely to through, and the two i I t zgt knot. When the lights are ex_and fro when you hold the i nth u the i c e, o U 6 E 6 first of all makes the knot, he then tinguishod, the operator of the rope through each of the holes passes one of the e h the carved back of a c h a i r. He then in the seat, or through the few inches a t wo ends together , a k n ots the is apparontly to prevent the operator r i s i ng from the seat, but it also enables him to get a st ra i g h t even pull on both l oo p g• , He then seats himself, th e cords are tied tight round the ankles, then brought up to the kiees, securely fastened round them, and the ends fastened anywhere, it does not matter where, so that they cannot be reached by the mouth. The operator then thrusts his hands into the loops, extends his legs an inch or two, the knot is drawn tight, the lights are called for, and he is found, not only ap parently, but really, tightly bound. Extinguish the lights, and in the twinkling of an eye the legs are relaxed, the loops are slackened, the hands withdrawn, and the operator is free to wave guitars, to play tambourines, to take off his coat, to touch anybody he can roach, to strike objection able committee-men sharply on the head, and, in fact, to do anything that the spiritual agency or the physical force is supposed to do for him. THE CRIME OF EAVESDROPPING.—thr ancestors seem to have had a praiseworthy horror of news obtained in an underhand manner, and the enactments with refe rence to listeners and ' eavesdroppers' were very numerous. At Hartlepool, the fine for lystening about ante man's wyndowes to here his secretes,' was twelvepcnce. At Lan caster, the fine for an eavesdropper standing under anio man's eaves, wall, or window,' was three shillings and four pence ; -in addition to which, those detected were to be carted about the town, and then expulsed forth.' The authorities of Liverpool punished a man for listening under the church-wall to what the jury did sa y.'—ekamber. s s Journal. 'OSSK
