VIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCI aL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors at their meeting to-day did not find it necessary to alter their rate of discount. The market is easy, and first-rate bills are readily negotiated at 31 j- per cent. Yesterday afternoon there was a further influx of Vio,ooo in bar gold. The Deutchland from New York, on the 10th inst., has arrived at Southampton, with £Bl,OOO of Calfornian gold. The bidclings for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The proportions alloted were —to Calcutta 12,52,000r5. (£125,200), to Madras 1,30,000r5. (£13,000), and to Bombay 2,51,500r5. (t 25,150). The minimum price was rixed as before at. ls. 111 d. on all the Presidencies. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at Is. and O il Bombay at Is. Hid., will receive in full. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, for the fourth week in October, were $135,326 against $164,841 in the correspond lab period last year, showing a decrease of $29,515. The receipts from Jan. 1 to Oct. 31 amounted to $4,682,528 against $4,386,919 last year, showing an increase of $295,609.

According to Reuter's :telegram from Paris to day the Frenchltentes were 69f. 55c. Very firm. The decision of the Bank Directors not to modify th eir discount regulations failed to excite any sur rl3e or disappointment. In fact, the public geller allY seemed to care very little whether relation took place or not, owing to the t a Y und ance of money, and the ample facili -I,eB at thei r comman d.

Early next ' c eal ') however, a change in this respect may be enfidently anticipated. cl . l3o th before and after the meeting of the Bank ,i_lrectors the discount market remained quiet, and t e rY little business has been transacted this after dOon.

Account The Late Flood ; Meeting in Salford. __4_ A meeting, convened by the Mayor of Salford (11. D Pochin, Esq.), was held at the Salford Town Hall, yester day morning, to consider what steps should be taken for the purpose of affording relief to the sufferers by the late flood. There was a. numerous attendance, a considerable proportion of the gentlemen present being from Manchester. The Mayor, in opening the proceedings, said it was ad visable something should bo done as speedily as possible to relieve the sufferers by the flood. A large number of the inhabitants had been compelled to leave their homes, and had been altogether without shelter, except such as was provided by the Corporation. But further assistance was needed, A great many of the poor people had lost their property, and funds were required to supply them with bedding and coals. The losses by shopkeepers and millowners, he anticipated, could not be relieved by any fund springing from that meeting ; but he imagined that £1,500 would be sufficient to relieve the very poor to whom he had referred. He bad had the following returns relative to the inundation prepared by the chief constable :—Houses inundated in Salford, 1,414; in Broughton, 1,253; in Pen dleton, 18; cellar dwellings inundated in Salford, 100; no returns for the other districts ; shops inundated, Salford, 225 ; Broughton, 53 ; Pendleton, 3; total houses, 2,685 ; cellar dwellings, 100; shops, 281. Persons occupying inun dated houses in Salford, 7,070 ; in Broughton, 6,260.; in Pendleton, 90; which, with 3,000 estimated as the number of persons occupying houses not visited, made a total of 16,425 ; persons occupying inundated collars in Salford, 500; no returns from the other districts. Manufactories stopped from working in consequence of the inundation in Salford, b 4; in Pendleton, 3; no returns for Broughton. Hands thrown out of employment in Salford, 2,629 ; in Pendleton, 495. Manufactories inundated, but not stopped, in Salford, 7; in Broughton, 3; in Pendleton, 1. Houses rendered unsafe in Salford, 54; in Broughton, 9; other buildings unsafe through the inundation in Salford, 3; in Broughton, 9. Mr. W. Langton proposed a resolution ex pressing sympathy with the sufferers, and determining on raising subscriptions for their relief. Mr. H. J. Leppoc se conded the resolution, and said the Mayor's estimate of the amount necessary was very inadequate to meet the case. Mr. Alderman Cawley concurred in this opinion, and sug gested that the committee to bo apppointed should be a general committee to include Manchester. Mr. Alderman Grundy, Manchester, said it was a general calamity and there ought to be joint action. (Hear, hear.) The Mayor said his estimate related only to the relief of those who, without assistance, would be loft in absolute poverty ; but if they were to deal with losses of from £3O to £1,500, it was clear the sum he had named was insignificant and in competent to meet the case. Ho should bo happy to work under the Mayor of Manchester, if that gentleman would consent to act as chairman of the committee to bo ap pointed. Mr. B. Armitage said the very necessitous cases could be best relieved through the Board of Guardians. The suggestion, however, was received with disapproba tion ; and Mr. Armitage said he would not press it. The resolution was passed. Mr. J. Cheatham, M.P., moved that that meeting should be appointed a general committee to carry out the foregoing resolution, and said the committee would do well to consider whether it would not be wise to endeavour to have a portion of the surplus of the Lancashire Relief Fund applied to this distress. Mr. Alderman Heywood, Manchester, seconded the motion, which was passed. Mr. Alderman Cawley moved that the Mayor of Manchester should be invited to co-operate with the committee. Mr. Alderman Heywood seconded the notion, and it was passed. The Rev. T. A. Stowell said ministers of all denominations should be requested to make collections in aid of the fund; and the Rev. T. G. Lee said all denominations ought to be represented on the Committee. On the motion of Mr. Langton, seconded by Mr. Alderman Pellett, it was resolved " That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Mayor, for the efforts made by him to alleviate the distress caused by the flood ; and that the Mayor be requested to take such further steps as ho may deem desirable until the executive committee is in operation." Mr. Alderman Heywood was appointed treasurer to the committee, and Mr. Alderman Davies and the Town Clerk were appointed secretaries. Mr. Kilkman said he was the unfortunate proprietor and builder of £14,000 worth of property in Broughton, where during the last three or four years £60,000 worth of pro perty had been erected ; and the whole of it was now becoming depopulated, in consequence of the inun dation. If it was put up for what it would bring, its value would not be equivalent to the chief rent which would be shortly owing to the lord of the manor. It was important to consider what could be done to prevent so widespread an inundation occurring again. A second inun dation had almost occurred on Sunday morning, owing to the bank in Hough-lane not having been repaired. The Mayor said the bank was not seriously damaged until Sa turday. The question of rendering the inundations less destructive was a very important one, and would receive the best attention of the corporation.—Mr. Ald. Cawley said the matter should have his best attention; but he must remind some of the builders of Broughton that they had built houses at a level which the experience of former floods should have induced them to avoid. Subscriptions were announced amounting to £650, and additional sums amounting to £240 were guaranteed. A vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding concluded the proceedings.

MAIM - BOROUGH-STREET. THE CADMAN'S " FIDDLE."—Threo lads, named John Green, Thomas Barrett, and William Luson, were charged with stealing the whip of a cabman named Wm. Hughes. The prosecutor said—l left my cab outside the house where I lodge, in Union-street, Middlesex Hospital, for a few minutes, while I had my tea, a boy being in charge of it. On coming out of the house I missed my whip, and as the horse was one that required plenty of it I could not get along without it, and I took the horse and cab home to the stables, in Chenies-mews. As I was attending to my horse up comes the throe prisoners, and one of them says, "Do you want to buy a fiddle (the name used for . a whip by cabmen), cabby ?" I at once recognised the whip as my own, and for the sake of secur ing them I asked what they wanted for it, when one of them says, "Three bob." I said that was too much, but that 1 did not mind giving them half-a-crown, and one of them said, " Oh, we can't take two and a kick (2s. Gd.), as there are three of us in it." lie agreed to give them 3s. for the whip, at the same time telling them that they would have to go to the corner of the street, as I wanted to get change, but the change I got was handing them all over to a constable for stealing the whip. The magistrate having remarked that it was a singular circumstance that the prosecutor's own property, stolen in one part of London• - should be offered him for sale in an other, committed the prisoners, who pleaded guilty, and wished the case settled at once, for a month with hard labour. Central Criminal Court.--This Day. (Before the Recorder.) THE CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST THEE POLICE. The case of Matthew Hayes, the police-constable of the S division, was resumed this morning. The Recorder summed up the evidence in the most im partial and minute manner, after which the jury retired to consider their verdict. After an absence of about an hour and a half the jury returned to their box in court. The Clerk of Arraigns, having called over their nanles, asked whether they had agreed to their verdict ? - The Foreman said they found the prisoner guilty. Barry, the other policeman charged with the same offence, but who was acquitted last session, was then called upon to surrender in order that tho indictment for cOnspl racy against both prisoners might be proceeded with. Mr. Montague Williams said, in the absence of Mr. Sleigh, he had to ask that tho trial of that indictment might be delayed for a short time. • The application was granted. Later in the day Mr. Sleigh entered the court, and, ad dressing the Recorder, said —With reference to tho indict ments against Hayes and Barry, there was ono for con spiring yet remaining for disposal. Ile, on the part of the prosecution, had no wish to press the matter further, as the jury had found Hayes, who was the principal in the matter, guilty of the perjury imputed to him. Ho had, however, no indisposi tion to proceed with the indictment for conspiracy, but at that moment he did not think it would be proper to go on with it. He should be perfectly prepared next session if the counsel appearing for the prisoner wished he should do so. Mr. Cooper said he should by all Means desire the in dictment for conspiracy to be tried as early as possible. Mr. Sleigh thought it but fair that the caso should be heard by a jury who had not been in attendance at that session. The Recorder thought it would be better to apply for a writ of certiorari to remove the case to a superior court for trial. Mr. Sleigh agreed with the Recorder that that would be the proper course. _ _ Cooper felt most anxious that the, trial should be taken with as little delay as possible. Mr. Sleigh was quite as anxious as his learned friend about the matter, and he then gave him notice that he should take the necessary steps for the removal of the trial for 'conspiracy from the Central Criminal Court to the Court of Queen's Bench, to be there tried by the Lord Chief Justice and a special Jury. The greatest interest was manifested in the court, which was crowded to excess during the whole of the proceedings. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) CHARGE OF WILFUL NEGLECT. Charlotte Power was indicted for causing the death of her infant child, by wilful neglect. The evidence showed a course of dissipation on the part of the prisoner, during which time she neglected her child, and its death was the result. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge said it had not been proved that beating had formed a portion of her cruel conduct, but that she appeared to have depended upon others while she went out drink ing. Ho therefore sentenced her to 6 months' imprison ment with hard labour. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share Railways. IBristol and Exeter .... Caledonian (Cambrian Cork and 8and0n......'

Eldon was then Lord Chancellor, and was residing at his country seat, when part of the house was destroyed by a fire that broke out at night. With admirable expedition the fire engine was at work, and Lady Eldou's maid-servants were helping to supply it with water. "It was," wrote Lord Eldon, " really a very pretty sight ; for all the maids turned out of their beds, and they formed a line from the water to the fire-engine, handing the buckets; they looked very pretty, all in their shifts." But ere the Chancellor found time to survey tie maid-servants with approval, he had provided for the safety of the Great Seal, which he was accustomed to keep in his bedchamber. The mishap of his old friend Thurlow had been a lesson to the cautious Eldon ; and rather than have run any risk of losing the Great Seal by robbery he would have imitated Ileneage Finch, and slept with it under his pillow. At the first alarm of fire, the Chancellor hastened out of doors with the Great Seal, and burying it in a flower-bed confided it to the care of mother earth. That prudent act accomplished, he ran to the aid of his maid-servants.—Tcapeson's Book about Lawyers. WESTMINSTER. STREET BEGGARS.--A woman who gave the name of Mary Inglish, and who was accompanied by four young children, including an infant in her arms, the whole of whom were in a very filthy and ragged condition, although apparently well-fed, was charged with collecting alms in the public streets. Sergeant Brooken, 26 B, said that last evening he found defendant and her children drawn up in a row opposite the Brompton Oratory. They had two boxes of lucifer matches in their hands, and were so disposed as to create public sympathy. A constable in uniform coming up, she removed, and witness, who was in plain clothes, followed her. On arriving at Albert-gate, Knightsbridge, she again arranged herself and family, and with downcast eyes they remained 20 minutes. When witness took the woman into custody she said she had no other means but begging, and that her husband was out. of work, but hat boy, a bey.about seven years old, had that morning let out that his father earned £1 per week as a labourer on the Metropolitan Railway. Defendant said he did not get it now. Mr. Selfe declared he would not permit this sort of thing, and corcmitted her for seven days. THAMES. A DISORDERLY PAUPER.—Golding Jones, an able-bodied pauper, chargeable to the Poplar Union, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and doing wilful damage to a door. The prisoner had been chargeable to the Poplar Union for five weeks. He was allowed by the master to go out yesterday in search of work. He returned at nine o'clock drunk and noisy, and demanded admission. The night watchman told him he must consult the master before he could re-admit him. The prisoner made use of a good deal of violent and abusive language, and went away. Ho re turned again at half-past 10 and made another disturbance. He was refused admission, and endeavoured to break the door open by force. Ho broke the lock and did other da mage, and was then given into tho custody of a police constable. The prisoner, in defence, said he fractured his skull some time ago, and a little drink almost drove him mad. Mr. Partridge—Then you have no right to indulge in strong drinks at all. There is 3s. Bd. found upon you, and you have been supported by the Union five weeks. You ought not to be maintained at the expense of the rate payers. • The Prisoner—My son gave me that money. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of £l, and ss. in addition, the amount of the damage he had done, or be imprisoned seven days. If the prisoner's son could afford to give his father money ho ought to keep him out of the workhouse.' There were many ratepayers who could not command 3s. Bd. or afford to become intoxicated. DISORDERLY FEMALE PAUPERS.—EIIen Kelly, aged 17 years, and Emma Jackson, 20, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with wilfully breaking a large quantity of earthenware. James Bennett, porter at tho Stepney Union Workhouse, at Bromley, said tho prisoner and other pauper girls had been placed in the separation ward, in consequence of bad conduct. Last evening he went to the prisolers with their supper and found the room covered with broken jugs, plates, cups, saucers, and other things. Ho asked them why they broke the things, and they said they did not want any supper. Mr. Parker, master of the Stepney Union-house, gave the prisoners a very bad character. One had been in prison for felony ; the other, Jackson, was a headstrong pauper, and educated in the workhouse schools. Situations had been obtained for the prisoners, which they would not keep. They wore idle and disorderly. Mr. Partridge—lt is difgraceful for able-bodied strong girls to be in the workhoue. The prisoners, impudently—lt is no disgrace at all. Mr. Partridge —lt is very disgraceful, indeed. YoU ought to be getting an honest living by your own industry. You are sentenced to siz weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. MARKE T S. day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market, to-day was but moderately supplied with beasts. For most breeds the demand ruled steady, at prices fully equal to Monday. The top quotation was quite 5s 4d per 81bs. The show of sheep was rather limited, but in fair average condition. Sales progressed steadily, at ex treme currencies. The best Downs and half-breds were worth 6s 4d per 81bs.

TIIE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES.—The manufac turers have assented to a proposal by the executive of the operatives' unions for a conference; between the masters and the men, with a view to an arrangement of the pending dispute. The meeting will shortly be held, and hopes are entertained of a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty. TREATY. OF COMMERCE BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND FRANCE.—The commission charged with preparing the bases of a treaty of commerce between Austria and France has terminated its labours. The Austrian delegates, MM. de Pretis, Meyer, and do Kalchberg, have already returned to Vienna. A slight indisposition of M. Herbet has de layed for a few days the journey of the French members who are to assist the Duke de Gramont in the conclusion of the treaty, which is to be signed at Vienna. BRITISH CLAIMS ON AMERICA.—Mr. Wyse, of Lloyds, has addressed a letter to Lord Stanley directing attention to the claims of British shipowners, in regard to the capture of several hundred vessels by Federal men of war during the late war. Mr. Hammond, by desire of Lord Stanley, replied ; stating that no arrangcmPut has hitherto been made between her Majesty's Government and that of the United States for the examination and set tlement of the claims of their respective subjects and citi zens arising out of the events of the war. A beautiful casket of Irish bog oak, with na tional emblems, exquisitely mounted in silver and elabo rately ornamented, is about to be presented to the Coun tess of Kimberley by the members of the late viceregal staff and household. The Marchioness of Abereorn has paid a special visit to the Dublin jeweller's whore the box lies to inspect it. ASSAULTING A WARDER. Frederick nertzel was indicted for assaulting John Batten, a warder of the House of Correction, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prisoner was a person of violent temper, and having obtained possession of a pair of scissor; he attempted to inflict personal injury upon the warder; but he was prevented from doing so mainly by the interference of a prisoner named Duffield. The jury found the prisoner guilty, whereupon he conducted himself in a very violent manner, declaring he had not had a fair trial. The judge sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. FOURTH COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) CHARGE OP CRUELTY AT SEA. Frmicie Labery, mariner, surrendered to an indictment charging him with unlawfully assaulting and beating Al bert Brent, on board the British ship Cymbeline, on the high seas within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. From the evidence of the prosecutor he said he was mate on board the Cymbeline, and while so engaged he had a quarrel with the defendant, who was the captain of the vessel, because, as ho alleged, he refused to make a false declaration. His refusal to do so was followed by acts of the greatest cruelty, he was confined in the vessel for a long period in nearly total darkness, and in which a quan tity of pepper had previously been kept. Tho effect of the imprisoment was that his health had to a great ex tent been injured, and his eyesight nearly destroyed. He made complaint to the British Consul in New York, quitted the ship, and on his arrival in England ho took proceedings against the defendant for the injuries he had inflicted 611 him. The answer of the defendant was, that the prosecutor conducted himself in a most disgraceful manner, and that in all the inconveniences ho had been subjected to he had only himself to thank, because it was of the utmost im portance that order and obedience should be strictly main tained on board ship while at sea. The Chiirge of cruelty, the defendant said, were exaggerated, and to a greatextent untrue. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) " We learn with pleasure," says the Siecle, " that for the second time, a young lady has successfully passed her examination before the Faculty of Paris in the bacca laureat-es-sciences. Mdlle. Marie Bassetti answered very brilliantly, and was received'with great respect and amidst public applause. Two years ago Mdlle. Emma Chenu pissed with equal success the same examination. There are already a considerable number of bachelieres-es-lettres, but as yet only two bachelieres-es-sciences." THE BRUSSELS SHOOTING MATCH.—The Count do Flandre, on Monday, distributed, at Brussels, the prizes gained at the late Belgian shooting match. The distribu tion, which took place without any ceremony, was attended by Capt. Victor Bailly, of Vincennes, on the part of the French competitors, and by Sergeant-major J. White, of the Middlesex Volunteers, representing those of England The Count was accompanied by the Minister of the interior and the principal military authorities of the Belgian capital. A young man named Pichot, a working uphol sterer, met with his death on Sunday morning during the gale in Paris. While crossing the Pont-de'Arcole his hat was blown off and fell into the river. As it was a new one which he did not like to lose, he hastened down to the landing wharf, threw off his clothes, and entered the water to swim after his proporty, but almost immediately he was seized with cramp from the effects of the cold, and being unable to resist the strong current ho was carried away and presently disappeared beneath the surface. His body has not yet been recovered. MR. KAVANAGH, TIIE NEW M.P. FOR WEX FORD.—Some of the public journals describe the bodily defects of Mr. Kavanagh, the newly-elected repro sentativo of Wexford, who, though born without logs or arms, is described as an excellent caligraphist, a das hin g huntsman, an artistic draughtsman, and unerring shot, and the most expert of yachters. Fine well-marked features, and eyes beaming with intelligence, leave no doubt that, though the body has been unfortunately shorn of its fair and legitimate propDrtions, the mind is well developed. He is now about 40 years of age, and a large family of children, as handsome as could be found in this country, has blessed his union wit h a lady remarkable for her beauty, and beloved for heramiablo and considerate disposition. His literary taste he has gratified to the fullest, and the Cruise of the Eva, pub lished a short time since, testifies that he is an acute ob server. The book was illustrated from sketches made by himself during his cruise. Ha holds the pen or pencil in his mouth, and guides its course by the arm stumps, which are sufficiently long to moot across the chest, and by this mode he produces a caligraphy each letter of which is distinctly formed. When hunting he sits in a kind of saddle-basket, and his reins are managed with an expertness and an ease surprising ; but perhaps the greatest of his achievements is driving a "four-in-hand." This he does to perfection—. and as his team scampers away at a dashing pace, the sharp crack of his whip may be heard far off. A GAMEKEEPER SHOT.—At three o'clock on Tues day Kelly, the head gamekeeper of Lord Tredegar, was shot by some poachers. It appears that Kelly, with two assistants, were out watching upon Lord Tredegar's lands at Machen, eight miles from Newport, when they heard shots fired in Machen Wood. They went to the spot, and found four poachers armed. Kelly and his assistants went towards them, when they declared with an oath, and at the same time two of them brought their guns to their shoulders, that if the keepers came any nearer they would shoot them. This threat frightened the two assistants, and they turned back. Kelly, however, wont on, and when within 20 yards of one of the poachers the fellow fired, and Kelly fell seriously wounded in the fleshy part of the thigh The poachers then made their escape, and Kelly lay where be fell for nearly an hour before assistance came to him. He was conveyed home, and Mr. Brewer, of Newport, WAS sent for. That gentleman arrived, and succeeded in ex tracting a large number of shots. Kelly lies in a preca rious state. The poachers wer) not known, but the police are making diligent inquiries. STATUE TO THE LATE LORD HERBERT. —A pe destal of polished stone has recently been erected in the court-yard of the War-office in Pall-mall, and upon it in the course of a few days will be placed a statue of the late Lord Herbert of Lea, better known as Mr. Sydney Her bert, who for some time had the direction of the War De partment. THE LOCK-OUT IN THE POTTERIES.--At a confer once of masters and men the union delegates pledged their honour that no advance of wages should be asked during the year if the masters would agree to the month's notice system instead of annual hiring. The masters accepted th pledge, and the lock-out is over. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. WARWICK RACES.—Tars DAY. EY ELECTRIC TELEGRAM. WELTER HANDICAP.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester day evening : John Young, William Shaw, Daniel Morris, George Flynn, Edward Donelly, Thomas Dawes, James Goode, and James Evans, surrendered to an indictment charging them with being concerned iu causing the death of a lad named Willmott. It will be recollected that a sparring match, with gloves, took place at the public-house kept by the defendant Shaw, in which Young and the deceased were the parties in the contest. Some of the defendants acted as seconds to the young men, and Flynn officiated as time-keeper. After the match had been going on some time, and, according to the evidence of one of the witnesses known by the name of Nutts, Willmott was winliing easily, when he (Willmott) received a push from Young, which caused him to stagger and eventually to fall to the ground. In doing so it was alleged he struck his head against the partition of the room with such violence as to make it necessary to remove him to the hospital, where, in a short time afterwards, ho died. The medical evidence went to show that the de ceased's body was extensively bruised, and that the boxing gloves were quite sufficient to cause those injuries on the body, but that death was not caused by any of those bruises, but by an extravasation of blood on the brain, which might have been produced by a fall. At the close of the evidence for the prosecution, Mr. Montague 'Williams said there was not sufficient evidence to establish the charge against the defendants. Mr. Baron Bramwell, after a consultation with Mr. Jus tice Byles, decided that the case mnst go to the jury. The jury took some time to deliberate, after which the foreman said they wore of opinion that the evidence was too weak to establish a charge of manslaughter, and there fore they found a verdict of not guilty against all the defendants. They were then again arraignel on tho coroner's inqui sition, but no evidence being offered, a verdict of not guilty was returned. Mr. Baron Bramwell—lt would bo just as well if some steps were taken to bring these encounters to a termina tion before the parties were knocked about to the extent that had been proved that day. If they did not do so they might depend upon it they would be caught some day. THE ALLEGED MURDER IN BETIINAL-GREEN. William Scott, tripe dresser, pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging him with tho manslaughter of his wife. The grand jury ignored tho bill for wilful murder. Mr. Justice Byles sentenced him to 15 yours' penal ser vitude. NEWS FROM THE SEA.—A bottle has been picked up containing a paper on which are the following words:-- "Nov. 12.—The ship John Shaw, of and from Falmouth, 46 days out, waterlooged, dismasted, and in a helpless state ; all boats gone.

TRUE TO THE LAST.--A ghastly anecdote, illus trative of the deep sincerity of dinner friendships, and the profound attachment whereof boon companions are capable, long survived this miserable man, and was, within these 20 years, told for truth by one of his generation. His ele gant dinners had been particularly renowned for some re markable and unmatchable Curacoa. Ho had been fre ' quently asked at his own table of whom he bought it, but always kept the secret. When ho was ordered for execu tion, three friends, bound to him by the remembrance of many feasts and many glasses of this famous liqueur, had were p a p b e o d u t back,to retire, and whenssaid, , the,,Fnlauo sianttolicumpyro,:us impressive parting interview with him in his condemned cell.

THE THREATENED FENIAN INVASION. —The Irish Government are, it is said, about immediately to give addi tional strength to the military detachments stationed in Sligo and other western Irish towns. The Freeman's Journal says :—"Within the past few days notice has been given at all the metropolitan police stations intimating that the constable or constables who may capture Jas. Stephens, in the event of his returning to Ireland, will bo entitled to a reward of £l,OOO. This intimation would go to show that the Government does not wholly disbelieve that the Head Centre will have the temerity to return to Ireland as he announced that ho will."—Manclies(cr cuaraiars.""'" tr. figh rday; lineSS 3cl in t out :ajor 3ack- I had g. yes- ss the ;Ulan sway Ea the from Le ab- rp to their th the per at party Iha,in )p of 'ants.
