The Meeting of Grant and Lee, and the Generals of both Armies, The correspondent of the New York Times thus describes the first meeting of the two commanders in -chief, on the 9th of April : At about 2 o'clock p.m. the two generals met at the house of Mr. Wilmer M'Lean.. General Lee was attended by General Marshall, his adjutant general General Grant, by Colonel Parker, one of his chief, aides-de-camp. The two generals met and greeted each other with dignified courtesy, and proceeded at once to the business before them. General Lee immediately alluded to the conditions of the surrender, characterised them as exceedingly lenient, and said he would gladly leave all the details to General Grant's own discretion. General Grant stated the terms of the parole ; that the arms should be stacked, the artillery parked, and the supplies and munitions turned over to him, the officers re taining their side arms, horses, and personal effects. General Lee promptly assented to the conditions, and the agreement of surrender was engrossed and signed by Lee at 2.30 o'clock. General Lee asked General Grant for an interpre tation of the phrase " personal effects," and said that many of his cavalrymen owned their own horses. General Grant said he construed it to mean that the horses must be turned over to the United States Government. General Lee admitted the correctness and justice of the interpretation, when General Grant said he would instruct his officers to allow men who owned horses to retain them, as they would need them for the purpose of tilling their farms. General Lee expressed a great sense of gratification for such a generous considera tion, and said it would have a very good effect. He subsequently expres . sed a hope that each soldier might be furnished with a certificate of his parole, as evidence to prevent him from being forced into the army until regularly exchanged. General Grant assented to the suggestion, and the printing presses were soon put to work to print the documents required. In regard to the strength of his army, General Lee said he had no' idea Of the number of men that he should be able to deliver up. There had been so many engagements, and such heavy losses from de sertion and other causes within the past few days, and the retreat so rapid, that no regular morning reports had been made since leaving Petersburg. General Lee informed General Grant that his men were short of provisions, whereupon General Grant ordered twenty-five thousand rations to be distri buted to them. Thus substantially ended the inter view. Both generals were the very impersonation of dignity and courtesy in their bearing. Lee is in fine health, and though apparently impressed with the vital effect and importance of the act he was performing, he was cheerful and pleasant in his de meanour, The house where the stipulations were signed was a fair brick structure, with neat grounds, and quite neatly furnished. The room in which the interview took place was a comfortable par lour, about eighteen by twenty feet, and adorned by the usual furnishing common to the average of Virginia houses. Both generals were attired in full uniform. Lee wore a very fine sword. Grant had no sidearms, having left camp the day previous, with the inten tion of being gone but a few hours, but, on the con trary, being gone all night. When the two generals first met ;they were attended only by the staff offi cers already mentioned ; but, during the interview, several of our officers entered and were. introduced to Gen. Lee, who received them cordially and made no objection to their presence. They were Major- Generals Ord and Sheridan, Brevet Major-General Ingalls, Brigadier-Generals Williams, Rawlins, and Barnard, Lieut.-Colonels Parker, Dent, Badeau, Bowers, Porter, Babcock, and Capt. Lincon. T. P. Shaffner, Esq., was the only civilian present. Gen. Grant had anticipated the surrender for - - several days, and had resolved beforehand not to require the same formalities which are required in a surrender between the forces of two foreign nations or belligerent powers ; that they were our own people, and to exact no conditions for the mere pur pose of humiliation. After the interview, Gen. Lee retired to his own camp, about half a mile distant, where his leading officers were assembled awaiting his return. He announced the result and the terms, where upon they expressed great satisfaction at the leni cy of the conditions. They then approached him n order of rank, shook hands, expressed satisfaction at his course and their regret at parting, all shed ding tears on the occasion. The feet of ourrouvicr and tho likkoral terms were th - cii announced to the troops, and when General Lee appeared among them he was loudly cheered. The proceedings of the next day are thus de scribed by the correspondent of the .New York Herald— The appointment of officers to carry out the terms of surrender were made by both parties dur ing the night, and a conference between Generals Grant and Lee was held on the brow of the hill, one-fourth of a mile north of the Court-house, at 10 o'clock a.m. General Grant and staff had hardly arrived when General Lee, accompanied by an or derly, galloped up the hill and rode to the side of the Lieutenant -General. General Grant's staff, General Ord and staff, General Griffin and staff, General Gibbon and staff, General Sheridan and staff, were all on the ground, grouped in a semi circular position. As Lee rode up the hillside on a gallop, General Grant stepped his horse forward two or three rods to meet him. Lee rode squarely up, saluted in military form, and wheeled his horse side by side to the left of General Grant. The two chieftains then entered into a conversation that lasted nearly two hours, until the officers appointed on both sides to carry out the terms of surrender had reported for duty. The two leaders sat quietly in their saddles discussing the past, present, and future in free and easy off-hand conversational style. During the conference General Lee stated that if General Grant had acceded to his proposal for a personal interview some weeks ago peace would have undoubtedly resulted therefrom. The opinion was universal among rebel officers that Johnston would surrender to Sherman without a battle on hearing that the army of Northern Virginia had done so to General Grant. Shortly before 11 o'clock the interview between the generals was ended by Lee saluting and riding slowly down the slope, across the hollow, and into his camp on the hill beyond. General Grant turned the head of his thorough-bred Cincinnatus towards the Court-house, followed by his staff. and a large retinue of general officers. Within half an hour thereafter the offieers desig nated by General Lee to carry out the stipulations of surrender arrived, and were accompanied by a number of noted rebel officers. The large verandah and yard in front were soon filled with groups of Union and =rebel officgs in earnest conversation. Half the, regulars on either side found some old ac quaintance or West Point classmate among the others, andin many. instances the greetings were warm and unaffected. The men who but the day before were seeking each other's destruction now chatted quietly together, recalled the incidents of the past, and gave in their open countenances evidences of honest re spect. Almost the first questions from rebel offi cers were,—" Well, what are you going to do with us ?" The belief .seemed wide -spread among intelligent officers that the United States Government had pledged itself to grant no amnesties for the offence of treason, and that they must " all hang together or hang separately." On learning that Gen. Grant had taken advantage of their necessities and despe rate situation, but had voluntarily extended to them the same magnanimous terms offered, two days be fore and refused by General Lee, they expressed themselves exceedingly gratified. Discussion of the matter among themselves seemed to greatly strengthen this feeling. All admitted that their army had no further power of resistance, and that it was compelled to surrender on our terms. They appeared surprised to find no exhibition of vindic tiveness on our part. At first some may be inclined to think Gen. Grant not sufficiently exacting. But no one who wit nessed the behaviour of the rebel officers, and listened to their conversation on the subject, could long dclUbt thQ Wi§(14111 his policy, POLICE IN This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RIOTIOITS AND OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT IN NEWMAN STREET, OXFORD-STREET.—Michael Flinn, Michael 11ay, and Roger Dillon, labourers, and all stout-built fellows, were charged before Mr. KnoX, with being drunk and assaulting Mr. Charles Hawsherr, of 70, Newman-street, Oxford-street, brass-mounter, and Mr. Thomas Lewellyn, of No. 71, Newman-street, coachmaker. Mr. Hawsherr said—Yesterday evening about seven o'clock I was in Newman:street, and saw a crowd of per sons, and on going to see the cause found the prisoners and three others knocking a man about the room bleeding at the time. The man came behind me for protection. The prisoner Hay came up and asked why I interfered, and I said it was not right for six or seven persons to knock one man about. Hay then gave mo a blow on the nose. A constable then came up, and I gave Hay into custody. I think the man whom they were knocking about is in the hospital. Hay—The witness called me an "ugly —." Mr. Knox—l don't believe a gentleman would do such a thing. Henry Morland said—l saw the row, and the three pri soners and three others striking a 'young man—a little fellow. The last witness said "you brutes," and Hay then struck the witness on the nose. I saw Dillon kick the man while he was on the ground several times, and heard him eay, "Sill the —," and something about "Hurrah for the Irish." The witness never made use of the language spoken of by Hay. Dillon—l never kicked the man. Witness—You did several times. Police-constable Grover, 97 E—l saw the prisoners in Newman-street yesterday evening. They were all drunk, and striking at every one they came near. I took them into custody. A man had been assaulted by them, but he was taken away by his friends. The street was in a Com plete uproar and• confusion, and while the row was going on some thieves took advantage of it, and stole a bed from one of Mr. Burton's vans. Mr. Thomas Lewellyn, of 71, Newman-street, said there was a great crowd in the street. Hay and Flinn were two of them who were illusing a little fellow shame fully and cowardly. They also kicked him in a brutal manner. I picked the man up and received a blow and some kicks were aimed at me. I have come forward not so much to complain of being assaulted, as to be a witness for Mr. Hawsherr. 1 assisted the police in taking Flinn to the station, and have been threatened by him for doing so. • Mr. Ilinwell, artist, of 70, Newman-street, said—l saw the prisoner with two or three other men attacking a man right and left, some of them holding him while the others struck him, and Dillon kicked him in a savage manner while he was down. It went on for several minutes, and then some gentlemen interfered. The men also struck other persons and a little boy. I never saw such a cruel thing in my life. There was a crowd of two or three hun dred persons, and Flinn appeared to be mad. Mr. Knox—A more disgraceful thing I never heard of than for such a scene to occur between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, in a street like Newman-street. The prisoners are a parcel of savage ruffians, not fit to live in a decent town. I do not know whether the man attacked intends to appear, but I will ,give time to see whether he comes or not, and will remand the prisoners till Thursday next. WESTMINSTER. TURNING THE TABLES IN A SINGULAR MANNER.—AIM Elizabeth Chittell, a respectable-looking young woman, was charged with stealing 9d., the property of Mary Mahoney. • Mary Mahoney said—l am a widow, and live at No. 6, Yeoman's-row, Brompton. I went into a fried-fish shop last night, and had 11d. I was not sober. I put 9d. in my pocket-handkerchief, and put it in my pocket, sitting down by the prisoner—no one else was near me—and I soon missed my money. I did not leave the shop at all, but sent the man out of the shop, and he got a policeman, and she was locked up. I never knew her before. There were other people in the shop besides us, but we were not near them. Thomas Topping, 18, Arthur-street, Chelsea--I keep an eating-house. The prisoner and prosecutrix came in last night and waited for hot, potatoes. The prosecutrix sud denly jumped up and declared she had been robbed. The prisoner just before had received 9d. change from me. She was sitting quietly with the baby. Prosecutrix made such a noise that I got a policeman to take her, but he locked up the other woman. Mr. Selfe said the charge should never have been taken from a person as drunk as the prosecutrix ; it was very hard that the prisoner should have been locked up all night He immediately discharged her. Mary Mahoney was then charged with being drunk and incapable. Orlando Kursey, 287 A, said at one o'clock this morn ing I was in Cremorne-lane. Prisoner was in the middle of the road lying down, screaming "murder" and "police." She would not desist nr go away, and she was locked up. Prisoner denied the Charge, and said she was sober. She was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment. Chh,tell's husband requested that she should be indicted for perjury. Mr. Selfe said she had not committed perjury. She would not have had the seven days if he had not made the charge of felony. THAMES. NOVEL SYSTEM OF FRAUD.—William Batterham, aged 38, who was described as an engineer, and late of No. 3, St. Nicholas-street, Deptford, was brought up on remand; charged with defrauding several poroone of 5, 155., 55., and other sums. The prisoner had managed to obtain some printed forms of the Oriental Banking Corporation, and these he had filled up to represent that large sums of money had been paid into the Bank to the credit of Joseph Austin, Esq., and others. In the month of November he waited on Mr. William John Cox, a cheesemonger, of No. 1, Ellesmere street, Poplar, and asked him for the loan of 255., at the same time offering to deposit as security a " paying in slip" of the Oriental Bank, representing that £365 had been paid into the Bank to the credit of Joseph Austin, Esq. The prisoner said he had got tiro money paid to him as a reward for picking up a large quantity of Bank of England notes at Stinkhouse-bridge, over the Lea,and re storing them to the owner. Mr. Cox lent the prisoner 155., only on the credit of the paper. The prisoner ordered Mr. Cox to send a rabbit and a cheese to No. 7, Suffolk-street, Poplar, on the following Sunday morning, when the loan would be repaid. Mr. Cox never saw or heard of the pri soner again until he was taken into custody a few days ago, when he was taken into custody by Henry Wallace, a police-constable, No. 298 R. Wallace put in a list con taining the names and addresses of persons who had been cheated by the prisoner of the respective sums of £5, Is., 10s., 155., and other amounts by similar representations. Among his dupes were Mr. Hawkins, of Wingford-terrace, Lower-road, Rotherhithe, and a lady named Wilkinson, of No. 4, Clarence-street, Greenwich, who were examined. The first lent the prisoner is. only on a form filled up for £5OO in the name of John James Costin, which the pri soner said he had found, and intended to restore. The other purported to be a " paid in slip "of Subrina Batter ham for £l,OOO by John Jackson, Esq., and entered John Stephenson. Wallace said tho prisoner was a regular impostor, and had been preying on the public for some time. Mr. William Davison, cashier of the Oriental Bank, said the printed forms were for the use of customers, and had been abstracted from the banking house. He looked at the one left with Mr. Cox. It was only a portion of a paying in slip. The form was genuine, the filling in fictitious. No person named Joseph Austin kept an account at this bank. All the papers in their present state were perfectly worthless, and ought not to have deceived any . one. The prisoner made no defence. He appeared in a very desponding mood, and on the completion of the depositions was committed for trial. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.--A parliamentary paper issued yesterday morning shows that the re latives of the following officers, killed in New Zealand, have received compensation, viz.:—£7ll to the Rev. F. R. A. Glover, father of Captain R. C. Glover; £457 to the same gentleman, on account of his son, Captain F. G. E. Glover; £254 to tho father of Lieutenant W. L. Murphy; and £1,144 to the father of Captain J. S. Phelps. WEDGWOOD'S PATSIONS.—But quite apart from royal favour and patronage there was an under current of kindness and appreciation in the local aristocracy —the Gowers, the Egertons, the Chetwynds, the De Greys, and others—which ought not to pass unnoticed, and which, at thin early day, must have been very acceptable to Mr. Wedgwood's feelings., It is now a real honour to these English families of the good old stock, that they bought and ate from his ,exquisite cream-coloured ware, and spoke of it, r l .-sicl recommended it warmly to their guests and friends, whilst as yet its manufacturer was but little known. Writing to his brother in the summer of this year, Mr. Wedgwood tellsrhim that " Dr. Swan dined with Ld. Gower this week; after dinner your Bror. Joss. Pot works were the subject of conversation for some time, the Cream colour services in particular. I bclieve it was his Ld ship said that nothing of the sort could exceed them for a fine glaze &c." In a letter of a few days later, the subject is again referred to. " I just hinted to you that cream colour ware was a subject of conversation at Ld. Gower's table. Among other things his Ld.ship said that the late Lord Bolingbroke collected all the various modeled earthenware he could in France which were brot. over to England & that it wod. be worth my while to go to London on pur pose to see it—As his Ld.ship was so kind to mention a thing of that sort at his table I dare say he would give me a proper introduction for that purpose & this will be one inducement for my coming to London—l am to wait upon his Ld.ship at Trentham this week, and hope the Duke of Bridgewater will be there, when you shall hear further from me." At the distance of little more than a week, we hear of a visit to the Brick-House Works :—" I have just had the honour of the D. of Marlbro., Ld. Gower, Ld. Spencer, & others at my works—They have bot. some things & seem'd much entertain'd and pleas'd—The Gentn. abovementd. wonder I have not a wareho. in Londn. where pattns. of all sorts I make may be seen." —Mcteyard's Lf e of Wedgwood, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, CROYDON SPRING MILITARY AND OPEN S TEELE CHAS ES.—FItIDAY.

After going about a mile Lightheart had obtained a lead of half a dozen lengths, Doubloon going on second, Gamecock and The Rogue, close together, being next, with Slyfox immediately in their rear, Mistake and Marble Hill side by side following, and Best Man, outpaced, beaten off a long way. As they proceeded round the bend of the course near the Addiscombe-road Doubloon overhauled the leader, and passed the Stand a length in front of Lightheart, next to whom were Gamecock, Slyfox, Signal, Mistake, Early Bird, and Marble Hill in the order named, The Rogue being beaten off, and in his rear, also hopelessly beaten, were Joo Maley and Best Man. In the next half mile Lightheart took a clear lead, followed by Doubloon, Slyfox, and Signal, in close company, being third and fourth, Marble Hill, Mistake, and Gamecock next. The pace was improved as they descended the hill towards the farm inclosure by Slyfox going to the front, Lightheart at the same time giving place to Doubloon. At the foot of the hill before reaching the Stand for the third time Early Bird fell, and pitched young Ben Land completely out of the saddle, but fortunately he was not hurt. Passing the Stand the third time Slyfox had a neck lead of Mistake, Lightheart being third, and Marble Hill fourth, Signal and Doubloon side by side next, Gamecock beaten off, being the only other follower. The Rogue pulled up at the enclosure, and Joe Maley on descending the hill ; whilst Best Man, who had previously pulled up lame, did not pass the Stand the third time. About a mile from home Lightheart again appeared in front, followed in a body by Slyfox, Mistake, Marble Hill, and Signal, which five closed up, and Slyfox took the lead three-quarters of a mile from the finish, the lot behind him being in hot pursuit altogether. Before reaching the last two fences Marble Hill took up the run ning, attended closely by Signal, Mistake, Slyfox, and Lightheart. At the last fence Slyfox blundered and fell to the rear, and Marble Hill coming away up the hill, won easily by a length. A similar distance separated the second and third, and three lengths from Mistake, Light heart finished fourth. Slyfox trotted in fifth, and Doubloon walked in with the crowd next. Match for £lOO.

Bur nard, the well-known Cornish sculptor, whose busts of Ebenezer Elliott, Thackemy, and others have been so much admired, the model having been already completed. The sculptor has had every facility for taking the necessary casts from the head of the illustrious free-trader, and the likeness is very faithful. The bust will, doubtless, be most welcome to a large number of Cobden's admirers. THE QUEEN AND THE CLEWER SISTERHOOD.— We learn with pleasure that the Queen has been graciously pleased to give a donation of £lOO to St. Andrew's Hospital for Convalescents at Glower, and an annual subscription of £2O upon the condition that her Majesty shall always privilege of having one pati en t i n the hospital.— John h ave Bull. t h At a meeting of the members of the Amicable Society, held on Wednesday at the Arundel Hall, Arundel-street, for the purpose of considering the pro visional arrangements for the transfer of the business of the society to the Norwich Union Life Offices—Sir William Milman in the chair, and upwards of a hundred members being present—the meeting unanimously approved and adopted the terms proposed between the two societies, and without a dissentient authorised the court of directors to take measures for carrying the same into effect. A vote of thanks was passed to the directors for the great care and consideration shown by them in making the proposed arrangements, and to express the entire confidence of the members in their measures to promote the interests of the SWOT. LAW INTEL LIGENCE —(Tills Day). COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) Pnrr.Taps V. PRIT.T.IPS AND MEDLIN*. • This suit was commenced last term. It was a petition presented by the petitioner, a miner, in Cornwall, praying for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery with the co-respondent. The evidence adduced showed that Mr. Phillips left ' England in 1853, and did not return until 1830 ; and it was alleged that during this absence the adultery was com mitted. The evidence offered on the part of the petitioner was a young girl named Andrews, who said that the par ties always occupied one bedroom, and a Mr. Bray, both of whom spoke to circumstances which tended to prove the allegations in the petition. Mr. Bray said he had lived in the house some time, and ho always thought she was Mrs. Medlyn, and he never heard anything about Mr. Phillips until ho was expected on his return to Eng land. He had seen females' gowns hanging up in Mr. Medlyn's room, and also lying about on the bed and chairs, and, in fact, that the room had all the appearance of being occupied by a married couple. He never looked upon Mrs. Phillips as a servant to Medlyn. For the respondent a witness, a domestic servant who had resided at the house all the time Bray was there, named Caroline Riddle, was called. She swore positively the reverse of all the witness Bray had stated. She: distinctly swore that the dresses of Mrs. Phillips were never hung up in Mr. Medlyn's room, and also that she was at the house all the time the witness Bray was there, and during the entire of the period of time Mrs Phillips and she occu pied one bed every night. . Dr. Spinks, who appeared for the petitioner, proposed to call a witness to contradict Riddell and confirm Bray. The Judge Ordinary said that might be done, as the case at present stood it was oath against oath ; a matter he would have to decide. Mary Reynolds was then placed in the box and said she know Mrs. Phillips very well, and used to go frequently into the house. She had seen Mrs. Phillip's clothes lying on the bed and chairs in Mr. Medlyn's room. Dr. Waunby, the counsel for the repondent, remarked that it was very remarkable that his learned friend did not call Mary Reynolds ,while he was proving his case. She had been in court during the whole of the time Riddle was under examination, and after she hae heard all she had deposed to, she was called forward to contradict ii. The learned counsel having addressed the court, The Judge Ordinary said he had no doubt whatever as to his decision, He looked upon it as a disgraceful at tempt to throw dust in the eyes of the court by the girl Riddle. He therefore granted a decree for the petitioner, with costs against the co-respondent. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before the Registrar.) COLONEL 'WAUGH AGAIN A BANKRUPT.. Colonel Waugh was adjudicated a bankrupt upon his own petition last evening (he being now a prisoner for debt). It will be remembered that Col. Waugh was very recently discharged, but as the original bankruptcy was in 1857, such order will not operate to clear him from any debts contracted since that date. Proclamation of Jefferson Davis, The following is the text of the proclamation of Jefferson Davis, dated Danville, April 5 : " The General-in-Chief found it necessary to make such movements of his troops as to uncover the capital. It would be unwise to conceal the moral and material injury to our cause resulting from the occupation of our capital by the enemy; it is equally unwise and unworthy of us to allow our own energies to falter and our efforts to become relaxed under reverses, however calamitous they may be. For many months the largest and finest army of the Confederacy, under the command of a leader whose presence inspires equal con fidence in the troops and the people, has been greatly tram melled by the necessity of keeping constant watch over the approach to their capital, and has been forced to forego more than one opportunity for promising enterprises. It is for us, my countrymen, to show by our bearing under reverses how wretched has been the self-deception of those who have believed us less able to endure misfortune with fortitude than to encounter danger with courage. We have now entered on a new phase of the struggle. Re lieved from the necessity of guarding particular points, our army;will be free to move from point to point, to strike the enemy in detail far from his base. Let us but will it and we are free. Animated by that confidence in your spirit and fortitude which has never yet failed me, I announce to you, fellow-countrymen, that it is my purpose to maintain your cause with my whole heart and soul, and I will never consent to abandon to the enemy one foot of the soil of any one of the States of the Confederacy. That Virginia, noble State ! whose ancient renown has been eclipsed by her still more glorious recent history ; whose bosom has been bared to receive the main shock of this war; whose sons and daughters have exhibitedheroism so sublime as to render her illustrious in all time to come ; that Virginia, with the help of the people and the blessings of Providence, shall be held and defended, and no peace ever made with the infamous invaders of our homes by the sacrifice of any of her rights of territory. If by the stress of numbers we should ever be compelled to a temporary withdrawal from her limits or those of any other border State, again and again we will return until the baffled and exhausted enemy shall abandon in despair his endless and impossible task of making slaves•of a people, resolved to be free. Let us then not despond, my countrymen, but, rely ing on God, let us meet the foe with fresh defiance, and with unconquered and unconquerable hearts. "JEFFERSON DAVIS." LONDON GAZE rTE—Last Evening. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, Aiqui. 28. Notice is hereby given, that the Queen's Drawing-room, announced to be held on Tuesday, the 16th of May n ex t, by her Royal Highness the Princess Helena, on behalf of her Majesty, is postponed until Thursday, the 18th of May next. BANKRUPTS, The following are the only bankrupts of commercial importance in the Gazette : John O'Connell, surgeon, Parson's-hill, Woolwich. William C. Livermore, jun., builder, Bethnal-green Thomas Matthew Smith, greengrocer, Holborn Henry Barnes, blacksmith, Totnes, Hants Robert Martin, milk dealer, Walcot-square, Lambeth John Wilsher, jun., coach sm ith, T otten h am-court-road Louis B. Vandau, artificial florist, Hoxton Andrew F. Boyd, wine merchant, Cornhill --- George J. Budd, dairyman, Edgware-road ERRATA.—In our account of the proceedings in the Divorce Court, yesterday, we are sorry that our reporter should have been led into an error in describing the defendant in the suit of Clinton v. Clinton as Lord Charles Clinton. The noble lord, his lady, and family, we are happy to state, are at present residing at Biarritz, in France. The mistake arose in consequence of the simi larity of the names. MODERN FALCONRY.—The modern routine of training the peregrine falcon is shortly as follows : —Young birds are procured, generally from Scotland, either just before they can fly, or just after. They are placed in some straw, on a platform, in an outhouse, which ought to open to the south-east. They are furnished each with a large bell (the size of a very small walnut) for the leg; and each with a couple of jessies (short straps of lea ther) for both legs. If they are unable to fly, the door of the coach-house (or whatever the outhouse may be) should be left open; but if they have tolerable use of their wings, it will be necessary to close it for the first few days. They are fed twice a day with beeksteak—changed, occasionally, for rabbit, rook, or pigeon ; and, if the birds are very young, the food must bo cut up small ; but it is improper to take them from the nest until the feathers have shown them selves thoroughly through the white down. A lure is then used. This instrument need be nothing more than a forked and somewhat heavy piece of wood (sometimes covered with leather), to which is fastened a strap and a couple of times, pigeons' wings. To this meat i s ti e d ; and the young hawks aro encouraged to fly down f rom th e i r p l a tf orm, to w h t is ak tl e ing th o eir r ' s m ho ea u ls ting fro t m o it, i t the th o st falconerat e d feeding either loudly them the while. Presently, and as they become acquainted with the lures, they are permitted to fly at large for a fort night or three weeks ; and, if the feeding times be kept, the lures well furnished with food, and the shout or whistle employed, the hawks will certainly return when they are due ; unless, indeed, they have been injured or destroyed when from home, by accident or malice. This flying at liberty is termed "flying at hack." When the young hawks show any disposition to prey for themselves (though the heavy bells are intended slightly to delay this), they aro taken up from " hack," either with a small net or with the hand. They are then taught to wear the hood, and are carried on the fist. In a few days they are sufficiently tame to be trusted at large, and may be flown at young grouse or pigeons, the heavy bells having been changed for the lightest procurable. At thieperiod great pains are taken by the falconer to prevent his bird " carrying" her game ; for it is obvious that, were the hawk to move when he approached her, ho would be subject constantly to the greatest trouble and disappointment. The tales told in books about hawks bringing quarry to their master are absurd; the falconer must go to his hawk. Such is a sketch of the training in modern times ok the eyas or young bird.—Corraill Magazine for May. EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF SALMON.—The Union Bretonne states that the salmon fishery in the Loire has been unusually productive during the last few days. At St. Nazaire a fisherman had caught 16 in one haul of his net, and the fish were selling at llfr. 25c. per pound. At'Nantes 1,200 were offered for sale on a single day. Shoals of salmon are believed to have taken refuge in the river in consequence of being pursued by numbers of por poises which for some time past have been seen at the entrance of the river. •arrl`.zd [ cool' offl ee; c(0 1 ,1 1 s a l3 in the o tt, Pig ,011 4 Crer P' & sr 3r err°' re IY r : ple a a 0 id g'" „ ,f t he CO' lir 0 0 iect Share, 100 luo 2 100 [lOO II M 2.1.0 2.14.6 3.4.0 2.7.0 2..3.6 9.10.6 60f all 1.1.0 7.8.3 8.13 4.18. t 4.3.6 1041 IC4 i 94 ""'1 muita4
