Evidently there is a desire to await the course of events in relation to money, and the appearance of schemes known to be in process of development that may present attractions superior to undertakings already thoroughly established. Therefore, affairs are extremely quiet, and the course of prices are adverse to holders simply from a paucity of business.

In spring corn only a moderate busi ness was transacted on former terms. The flour trade was steady at late rates. Advises from America report more business in wheat and flour for export, with a steady con sumptive demand. In prices an improvement had taken place. Onthe Continent the corn trade generally is steady] The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 23,771 quarters of wheat, 10,467 barley, 30,549 oats, 640 rye, 46 beans, 718 peas, 196 tares, 25,904 linseed, 25,259 oilseeds, 7,039 maize, 60 sundry seeds, 252 sacks and 2,360 barrels of flour. The supply of home-grown wheat received fresh up to our market to-day was very moderate, but the condition of the bulk of the produce was good. The trade opened with firmness, and factors demanded ls. per quarter more money than on Monday last, both for red and white samples. Sales progressed slowly ; nevertheless, a clearance for all good and fine qualities was effected, and in some in stances an improvement - in value of ls. per quarter was realised. For inferior home-grown wheat the trade was slow, at late rates. The imports of foreign wheat continue good, and to day's market was well supplied with Continental, but very moderately with American descriptions. A fair amount of business was transacted, and prices generally ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at fully late rates. The supply of English barley on sale was moderate, but there was a great scarcity of fine samples. The trade for good and fine malting qualities, therefore, ruled firm at very full prices, but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry. Foreign barley moved off slowly at previous quotations. Malt was in fair average request, and prices were well supported. There was a good supply of oats on the stands. The trade was firm for all qualities, at the full prices of Mon day last to 6d per quarter advance. The improvement was chiefly in Russian produce. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled steady, at late rates. The market for peas was quiet., at late currencies. The supply on offer was very moderate. Most descriptions of flour wore in fair demand, and the quotations ruled firm. The supply of barrels on offer has slightly increased. ' CURRENCY PER IMP.

We were again heavily supplied with foreign beasts- Amongst them were about 300 from France in good condi tion. The stock from Tonning was inferior. The arri vals of sheep from Germany were again very large. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up, to-day, were very moderate, the time of year con sidered, both as to number and quality. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were on a limited scale. Good and prime breeds commanded a steady inquiry, and, in some instances, prices were slightly on the advance. Otherwise the beef trade was inactive, at last Monday's currency. The top figure was ss. 4d. per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,250 short horns, &c., from other parts of England 500 various breeds, from Scotland 10 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 80 oxen, cows, and heifers. _ The supply of English sheep was very limited, but most breeds come to hand in improved condition. The mutton trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward ten dency. Prime Downs and ball- breeds produced 6s. 6d. to 6s. Bd. per 81bs. Good foreign sheep were rather dearer.

A NICE PAUL—John Holland was placed at the bar charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance. Sergeant Mathews said—Last night the prisoner came to the station-house and demanded to see the inspector. Prisoner—Yes ; I had been robbed by nine or ten thieves, young'uns—(laughter)—and I wanted to tell the inspector. Witness—He was told that no one intoxicated was al lowed to see the inspector, and he then turned round and said he'd teach me my duty. I was compelled by his con duct to charge him with creating a disturbance. It ap pears that he and his wife were making holiday, as she is in custody for drunkenness. Mr. Flowers—l shall fine you 55., or send you to prison for seven days. Prisoner—l'm only a shoeblack, so I suppose I must do the seven. Sarah Holland, the female referred to, was placed at the bar charged with being drunk and incapable. The potman at the Royal Standard public-house, Drury lane, said as he was outside the house about half-past nine the female was outside drunk. He persuaded her to go away, when she turned round and bit his finger. Mr. Flowers—Did she hurt you very much ? Witness—She did it purposely. (Laughter.) James retch, barman at the Royal Standard, said the prisoner came into the house for liquor, but she was refused. This circumstance displeased her, and she set to fighting and kicking in such an outrageous manner that she had to be forcibly removed from the house. Prisoner—Your two quarterns of gin made me so. Witness—You had nothing at our house. AU we did was to put you out. Prisoner—l was beat and kicked in a most scandalous manner, and the people cried shame. Mr. Flowers to Witness—Did the people cry shame ? Witness —Nothing of the sort. She threw herself down and they had to get a stretcher to take her to police station• She was too drunk and no mistake. Police-Constable F 54 said, when he went to take her into custody she said sho wouldn't walk, and threw herself on the ground. A stretcher was obtained, and she was carried to the station. She tried to bite him. Mr. Flowers—Has she been here before ? Prisoner—lts six years since I've done seven years. (Laughter.) Gaoler—She was here a few weeks ago. Mr. Flowers—l should have punished you much more than I am going to do but for the fact of your being generally quite when you get intoxicated. You have on this occasion, however, been guilty of biting one of the witnesses and trying to injure another. I therefore shall send you to prison for 14 days. Prisoner—Of course I must go, but bad luck to the wit nesses. She was then locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two POLICE-CONSTABLES CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. — Two police-constables of the 0 division, named William Pawson and Thomas Tollough, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch, of the value of £lO, from the person of a seafaring man named Gurmet Ruffin, while locked up at the Marlborough Police-station. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for Tollough ; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, for Pawson. After hearing the evidence of several witnesses, Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case had been most properly in vestigated, and that a great interest attached to it, inas much as the persons accused were police constables. He (Mr. Tyrwhitt) could not account for the loss of the watch, and he was not bound to do so. It certainly was a most ex traordinary case, but he was of opinion that there was no evidence upon which he could send the men for trial. He declared that there was not a scintilla of evidence against either man, and had they not been police constables they w013,1d never have been placed in the position they were in, being both men of good character, and that fact should always have great weight with him. The accused were then discharged. THAMES. DRUMM/MSS AT A RAILWAY STATION-1100=1NT CONVICTION.—Joseph Uler, a tall German, was brought be fore Mr Paget, charod with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, at the West India► Dock station of theßlackwall Railway, last night. The prisoner obtained a ticket from tho clerk to convey him to Poplar. He presented it to William Spooner, who discovered he was very drunk and could not walk steadily. The prisoner was informed that he could not be allowed to ascend to the platform, where other passengers were as sembled waiting for the down-train from London. Tho prisoner insisted on passing, but the ticket-collector would not allow him to do so, on which the pri soner abused him and made a great disturbance. He also used very filthy language, and in the presence of women and children. He threatened the station-master, and attempted to strike Spooner. After a scene of givit' disorder and confusion the prisoner was consigned to the custody of a policeman. The evidence of Spooner was confirmed in every par. ticular. The prisoner said he had a drop too much yesterday, and told along and very incoherent story about his silver watch which he said was quite safe in his pocket. He was asked hie trade or profession, and where he lived, to which he replied that he was a shoemaker, generally employed by captains and mates of foreign Tassels, and that ho lived at No. 1, Cold Harbour-lane, Blackwell. - Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a veryserious offence, ho did not know a more serious one. The ticket collector had acted in a very right and proper manner, and he did wish the same vigilance was exercised at all the stations on the line and at all the railway stations in the kingdom. It was highly improper and dangerous to allow a drunken man or woman to travel on a railway. Nume rous accidents had been caused by it. The conduct of the prisoner was most disorderly and violent, and his language, though delivered in broken English, was most disgusting. He should on every occasion of this kind inflict the full penalties. He fined the prisoner 405 2 which was the maxi mum fine for drunkenness at a railway station. The prisoner asked the magistrate permission to go home and fetch the money. Mr. Paget—No, if you don't pay it before two o'clock you will have to travel in the police van to the House of Correction. A FACT FOR THE C URIOUS.—A gentleman belong ing to Coupar-Angus, while on his way home from Rotterdam to Leith, on the 9th September, at noon, and when about 100 miles from the mouth of the Rhino, en closed his card in a bottle, pencilling on the back of it that he would pay a sum of money to any one who brought or sent the card to his address. The bottle, carefully corked, was dropped from the steamer Holyrood about 12 o'clock noon of the 9th September, and on Wednesday morning (the 10th October), the gentleman received, per post, the identical note from a fisherman, who had •picked it up on the shore near Sizivell Gap, about 7 miles north of Orford ness, in the county of Suffolk. The bottle was found at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the sth inst. The gentleman at once transmitted the promised reward to the finder. It is somewhat remarkable that a promissory -note placed in such a position should within a month's time be presented for payment.—Dundee Advertiser. Lcess of Wales _ ----4*--KELso, Saturday. -mths past the Prince and Princess of Wales For s',llne ted to honour Roxburghshire with a visit, have been expo°, accepted and invitation from the Duke having received an , and Duchess of Rex. "astle, near Kelso. In accord palatial residence of Floo2-s their Royal Highnesses will arrive at Moors on Tuesda - nex t' , urghe to stay a few days at their and they have inti ance with crevious arrangement, mated their intention of attending The ducal on the following Wednesday an, Th e .113b NI 1 / 4 with ursday.. '- family have been honoured on two forme 'so race -meeting former occasion.. a visit from Prince Alfred, who then enjoyed some exce. lent fishing on the Tweed; and it is said that the Duke 11 contemplates initiating the heir-apparent to the throne into the mysteries of salmon-fishing. The enthusiasm of the Borderers shows their high appreciation of the honour conferred upon them by their distinguished visitors. In the times when the Kers, the Scots, the Douglases, the Elliots, and tho Armstrongs rejoiced in their raids upon offending or prosperous neighbours, or patriotically united in repelling an incursion of the "hated Southrons," the presence of royalty in Tweedside and the adjacent country was not so rare an event as now, nor sometimes, we may add, so agreeable. Witness the Laird of Henderland as he swung before his own castle-gate by the peremptory order of his incensed monarch, James V. But tempora mutantur, the advent of royalty to this district comes now as a luxury, _ _ and the preparations being made in Kelso and the neigh bouring towns to give the Prince and Princess a suitable welcome; show that their arrival will be marked as a red letter day in the Border calendar. Kelso has called in the aid of art to add to and enhance its many natural attractions ; ,riumphal arches, decorations, &c., have been speedily subscribed for, and are being busily erected; holidays have been promulgated by the town authorities; while hotel keepersm and others possessed of letable apartments tell, in their own cautious, self-complacent way, how they have, without difficulty, drawn on the pockets of intending visi tors during the race days to the tune of a " gowden guinea" or two, in exchange for a single night's accommodation. It may not, therefore, be out of place to give some descrip tion of this interesting and picturesque locality, noticing a few particulars in the history of the family whose guests the Prince and Princess axe so soon to become. It is a difficult matter to determine the founder of the ducal house of Roxburghe. On the Innes's side it is said that the pre- sent Duke is the 30th in descent from Berowaldus, a famous Fleming who settled in Moray about the 12th century, while the name of Ker is said to have been borne by one of the principal officers of William the Conqueror. The peer age writers, however, give John Ker, of the Forest of Sel kirk, who lived about 1358, as the founder of the house of Cessford and Roxburghe. Ever since . the 14th century the family of Ker has occupied a prominent place in the history of Scotland. As wardens of the middle and eastern marches, and having their baronies in the debateable borderland between England and Scotland, they, with the Scotts and Douglases, were the chief actors in those raids, fire-rais ings, and conflicts which had so much of the romantic in their nature that their history has been recorded in ballads and songs. The first of the family raised to the peerage was Sir Robert Ker, of Cessford, by the title of Earl Roxburghe. He was Gentleman of the Bedchamber to James VI., and in 1606, seven years after his first creation, he was made Baron Ker. Having no male heir, he in 1648, by charter from the crown, nominated Sir William Drum mond, son of his daughter Jean, Countess of Perth, hisheir, and at his death Sir William succeeded to the title. Earl William was distinguished for his military genius in Hol land, and for his strong attachment to the Royalist cause was fined £6,000 by Cromwell. His son John, for his ser vices in bringing about the Union, was created Duke of Roxburghe by Queen Anne. A writer of his time de scribes him "as an honour of his country abroad, the or nament of the court at home ; a prince of great learning, as well as a fine gentleman ; was Secretary of State to Queen Anne, and continues the same to King George." Robert, his son and successor, never married. He had wooed and would have been married to Christina Sophia, daughter of the Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, had not her younger sister, the Princess Charlotte, 'been espoused to George 111., and it was thought not proper that the elder sister should be the subject of the younger. On the demise of William, the fourth Duke, in 1805, without issue, a long litigation ensued between two claimants for the honours and estates in the persons of Sir James Norcliffe Innos and Brigadier-General Ker of Littledean, and not until 1812 did the law decide in Sir James's favour. He assumed the name of Ker, and had been married in 1807 to Harriet, daughter of Benjamin Charleswood of Windles ham. He died in 1823, leaving issue the present duke, who was born in July, 1816, and who married the daughter of General Sir Charles Dalbiac, G.C.B. Her grace's mother is mentioned in Napier's "Peninsular War" for her heroic conduct in fearlessly attending her husband through the dangers and privations of two cam paigns. The duchess, as one of the ladies in waiting on the Queen, recently accompanied her Majesty to Germany. The Inneses are of Flemish extraction, and many remark able men who filled high offices in Church and State have sprung from Berowaldus, the first of the name, and of his posterity it has boon said "they have either been notable or h*PPY in that their inheritance never went that none of them married an ill wife, and that no friend ever suffered for their debt." Sir Walter Scott, in speaking of the situation of Floors Castle, the residence of the Duke of Roxburghe, says : " The mansion of Fleurs (or Floors), with its terrace, its woods, and its extensive lawn, forms altogether a kingdom for Oberon or Titania to dwell in, or any spirit who before their time might love scenery of which the majesty and even the beauty impress the mind with a sense of awe mingled with pleasure." The Tweed, for some miles above the castle, flows between lofty and picturesque banks, but at Floors a spacious plain opens up on the left bank, and on a terrace commanding the view of the river the castle is built. Its dimensions are palatial, and the architecture of the Tudor-Elizabethan order. A large rectangular block, flanked by towers crowned with minarets, occupies the centre of the building, and on each side of the towers ex tensive wings, surmounted by dome and turret, stretch northward, forming a stately quadrangle, from which can be viewed the old and once almost impregnable baronial seat of the Homes and the weird three-cleft Eildons. The prospect from the south side of the castle is very fine, and embraces the old castle of Roxburgh, the town of Kelso, with its venerable massive ruined abbey, and the delight ful panorama of country where Tweed and Teviot flow almost side by side, and at last mingle their waters ; as also the gently undulating and finely wooded upland stretch ing to and bounded by the blue Cheviots. In the lawn sloping from Floors Castle to the Tweed is the spot marked by a holly-tree where James 11. was killed by the bursting of a cannon, when besieging Roxburgh Castle, which stands facing Floors. Of this old and once im portant fortress, the scene of many a siege and treaty—at one time. in the possession of the English, at another of the Scottish armies—the remains yet convey an idea of its size, strength, and strategical importance in Border warfare. Occupying almost wholly the neck of the peninsula be tween the Tweed and Teviot it was naturally well forti fied, and from its geographical position was, in the words of Earl Hertford in a letter to Henry VIII., "surely the very seat and place which shall and may scourge, and keep in obedience, both the Marches and Teviotdale." The archways and huge blocks of wall on the Teviot side still remind the traveller of the "towering fortress" and its his torical associations; but within its walls tall trees now rise, and sheep browse on its battlements and in its moat, and on summer holidays picnic partiesquietly regale them selves, after satisfying their historical tastes and beholding the magnificent view from the ridge on which it is built, with the contents of their hampers—fearing no foe. Under the west wing of Floors Castle stands what up to within a few yams was the principal flower garden. It is still, however, kept up, and presents a very gay appear ance during the spring and summer months, being bedded Out with choice flowers. This garden is of limited dimen sions, but is laid out, after a very elaborate and tasteful design, in the Italian or geometrical style. At the north end of it itte.oesservaterA +always filled with gorgeous flowers from the conservatories and green-houses when the ducal family are residing at the castle. In the centre of this house is a bed filled with camelias of considerable size, all in excellent heath, some of which aro reckoned among the best specimens in Britain. Leaving this part of the gardens, there is a choice of two paths leading to der flower and kitchen gardens, which aro about three `hundred Jards to the west. The way by which we ap proached was though what may be termed a bower, formed on the one side by the flank of a wood and on the other by some noble specimens of Spanish chestnuts ; at the extreme of which there at once bursts upon our view in all its splendour the principal flower garden. Nature could not have perhaps provided a more beautiful site for it, and Art has done its share in make it a delightful spot. It is bounded on the north side by what is generally acknowledged to be the finest range of glass in Britain, extending to about 35,000 square feet. On the east stately trees. andpalaynesat year rt u da t opw h reis i tt t twhi i 7 s oh e e tra eh n i vi c rsa i a r l : led by The west side is bounded by the east eiianlgl w aaln a tts l ldo l l o b f e etherathsehc kitchen l e i e m t b o i fng livinggpal ar garden, green, which hnt:he formingaht iisn the skill of science and art. This garden has an area of several acres laid out on the geometrical style, and planted after the same fashion as the gardens of South Kensington. The glass already referred to is divided into eight compart ments, all span roofed ; the largest house being a conser vatory 250 feet long, having a winding walk up the centre, and filled with many rare and beautiful specimens,of the finest exotics. The other houses are all of a size, two of them being conservatories, one a plant stove, three vineries, and one peach-house. The plants are of the finest in cultiva tion, and bear evidence that the highest skill and ability have been employed in their management. The kitchen garden comprises four acres, and is nicely walled in, having six acres without for growing the more common vegetables. Glass here is also in great abundance, consisting of peach houi-le, vineries, pineries, orchard and fern houses, greenhouses, cucumber, melon, and propagating houses, with numerous other places for horticultural purposes. All these different divisions have been laid out within the last seven years, under the direction of Mr. Rose, the principal gardener, whose skill 'as an eminent horti culturist was evinced at the international flower show held in Edinburgh a few weeks ago.—Telegraph.

DUDLEY, Saturday Evening. The closing meeting of the ironmasters for the current quarter was held in this town this evening. The attendance was small, and the business done as moderate as at Wolverhampton on Wednesday. The custom which at one time prevailed of leaving contracts . over for disposal at this meeting is no longer observed, and the great business of quarter day is centred in Birmingham. None of the lead ing members of the trade were present here to-day, and the absence of buyers was as marked, but at all the principal works in this locality they are very well supplied with orders, and in other respects trade in this quarter is in a healthy state. The sales of pig iron have been on a very mode rate scale all the week, for reasons already assigned. Mr. Griffiths, the metal broker, in his circular issued to-day, says :—" The Lilleshall Company sold their usual quantity to their regular customers, say from 13,000 to 14,000 tons ;" and for such of the favou rite brands as were to be sold there has been a good demand.

The lady who appeared for defends. not dispute the debt, but entered into a war of words I►. the lidy who advocated plaintiff's rights. During the discussion defendant's representative said she had received a letter from plaintiff which was very insulting, and upon its being handed up to the bench, his Honour said, " This is not a letter from plaintiff, it is a letter from a ghost." Defendant's representative—Oh ! it is a mistake ; that is not the one. The following is a copy of the letter, written in a firm hand, excepting where the word ghost occurs, and then it is marked with a most ominous trembling, symbolical of the fear to be felt by the recipients, the uncomplimentary ghost writes as follows :7 " U dirty old man,—if udo not paye mye widdy for the clothes i drowned myself in, and which u are now wearing and sho sing off, my ghost shall haunt U—u. " THE GHOST. " i shall see u at 12 to knight." After this postscript follows a graphic picture of a man in the act of committing suicide. His Honour, after hearing the wrongs of each party, made an order against defendant to pay the debt by two instalments. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market very strong, especially for Egyptian qualities. Sales, probably 15,000 or 20,000 bales. BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS• The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Syria, Capt. E. Christian, arrived at Southamp ton on Saturday evening, with the heavy portion of the Bombay and Mauritius mails, in charge of Mr. Douglas, of the General Post-office. She brought 129 passengers (of whom 34 were first class, 34 second, and 61 deck), £1,380 in specie, 2,396 bales of silk, 23 cases of Indian shawls, 2 casks of wine, and 122 packages of general merchandise. The Syria left Alexandria on the 2d inst., Malta on the sth, and Gibraltar on the 9th. She had fine weather between Alexandria and Malta; strong head winds from Malta to Gibraltar ; strong south , westerly gales and heavy seas along the coasts of Spain and Portugal ; rainy weather and strong north-westerly swell across the Bay of Biscay ; and moderate winds, with cloudy weather, in the Channel. On the sth inst., at 9.30 p.m., the Syria spoke the Pera steamer, bound to Malta ; on''the 6th, at 6 p.m., the Ocean King, bound for Liverpool ; on the 7th, at 10.15 a.m., the Calpe, for Liverpool ; and on 11th, at 8 a.m., a ship bearing third distinguishing pendant. • The Egyptian steamers, Charkieh and Dakahlieh, a Sardinian corvette, and cwo French steamers, were at Alexandria when the Syria left. Her Majesty's ship Pelican was at Malta and the Redpolc at Gibraltar. There was very little shipping in Gibraltar Bay. The British brig Test, Captain Roberts, from Port Madoc, put in at Gibraltar on the Ist inst. to land the crew, six in number, of the late schooner Marie Antoinette (of Nantes), Captain Dejoic, which foundered on the 26th of September, in lat. 39 44 N., long. 13 13 E., while on her voyage from Adra to Nantes with a cargo of lead. The Test proceeded on her voyage to Naples without anchor ing. Latest quotations of exchange at Gibraltar were as follows :—London, 90 days' date, 491 toy ; Paris, ditto, sf. 22c. to 23c. ; Marseilles, ditto, sf. 23c.; Madrid, 8 days' sight, 1 dis. ; Cadez, ditto, 1i to 2 dis. ; Seville, ditto, par to dis ; Malaga, ditto, 1 to die. The above exchanges are nominal. The cholera at Gibraltar is reported to continue in the descending scale. The fall of rain at the beginning of the month, which amounted altogether to 2} inches, appeared to have a good effect, and the number of cases daily oscillated, but on the whole the epidemic seemed to be steadily declining. The Chronicle of the 9th inst. says :—" The report of the public health to-day is favourable. The cholera cases are few, and the fresh westerly breezes and cooling showers now experienced, which are agreeable to the feelings and favourable to the general health, will, we hope, hasten the final departure of the malady. There is, too, a more cheerful and ani mated appearance in our streets, and the spirits of the people have been raised by the re-opening of the trade with Barbary. The Tangier Board has re duced the vigour of its measures, and has substituted for the total exclusion of vessels from Gibraltar a six.days' quarantine in Moorish ports. The board has also facilitated the embarcation of provisions for Gibraltar at Tangier by allowing them to be shipped under health guard supervision from lighters along side, assimilating their quarantine rules in this par ticular to those Of European ports. It is to be hoped that, with the disappearance of cholera, free inter course with Barbary will be speedily restored, and in the meantime the recent modifications of their quarantine rules by the Tangier Board has caused general satisfaction to the commercial portion of this community." The following is the official notification issued at Gibraltar on the 9th inst. by the Colonial Secretary of the regulations respecting quarantine made by the Morocco Board of Health :--‘, In consequence of cholera having appeared in many places, the Mo rocco Board of Health have decided that every vessel arriving at Tangier, either with a clean or foul bill of health, her captain must declare whether there are any sick on board, signing such declaration. Should there be one or more sick the ship will be visited by a doctor, and if the sickness has the cha racter of cholera the vessel will be sent away to un dergo a quarantine at a lazaretto. A vessel arriving from an infected port will undergo a quarantine of six complete days ; a health guard will be placed on board, and the vessel will be anchored in such place as may be directed. At the expiration of six days its admission to pratique will be granted until inspected by a doctor. Should there be any sick on board on the arrival of a vessel or at the end of the quarantine imposed, such vessel will be sent to a lazaretto. Vessels arriving with cleanbills of health, and which touched at an infected port without communicat ing, will be admitted to pratique. Vessels arriving in quarantine will be allowed to take in provisions and depart under the surveillance of a health officer; should they return, the time that they would have passed in quarantine cannot be allowed to count in the new quarantine, even if they have not commu nicated with an infected port. Vessels arriving with Hadjis and with a foul bill of health will be sent to the Island of Mogador to land in quarantine their passengers. These passengers will undergo a qua rantine according to the peculiar circumstances of the case. Vessels with Hadjis arriving from non suspected ports with a clean bill of health will not be permitted to land them until after a visit from a doctor, and their disembarkation will be at such place as may be indicated by the President of the Board. Vessels arriving from Gibraltar to load must have a health guard o n board, but those arriving to perform quarantine at Tangier need not to be so provided. The barges destined to transport provisions, &c., to vessels will be taken near such vessels, where they will be left, and the sailors of the vessels will load without help from the people from shore. After this, the barges will be washed with seawater in the presence of the health officer and abandoned to be retaken by the people from shore." The amount of £55,000 iu gold was taken to the Bank on Saturday. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.
