The passage from the room into which they last penetrated led (unlighted) in one direction to the hall door and out by the priests' room, and in the other into the dining-room, by the lamps of which it was strongly lighted. It is difficult to suppose they missed their way in the choice between a dark and a light pas sage, yet they took the former. The inference is that they had in turn become assailed by the Japanese guards, and thought only of retreat—an inference not destroyed by the fact of their having knocked over furniture, and inflicted some wild blows in the same and adjoining chamber in their route ; but, supported by the siege of the main door having been raised, the assailants failing to pene trate in that direction, they only succeeded in drir ing holes between the heavy cross beams. Here, too, they were probably dispersed by the somewhat tardy but nevertheless effective arrival of the Japanese soldiery. A letter from Yokuhama says : A Japanese merchant arrived here about noon of the day after the attack, so that he must have left Yedo soon after sunrise. He gave a foreign acquaint ance many details which could only have been learned from some of the escaped band. He stated that he had passed the previous day in Sinagawa, the suburb near the Legation ; that a band of 30 or 40 men had been knocking about all day, ending by a debauch, some or them in a particular tea house kept by an old retainer of Prince Mito, and the usual haunt of his people ; that they paid their bill of 30 itziboes and went forth to the rendezvous, the gate of the Legation. Here all were to have assem bled at the tolling of a bell, which occurred nightly at the same hour in a neighbouring ceremony. Be fore the time, however, a dog within the gate com menced to bark. Those who were ready thought it was a foreign dog, and that they were discovered. They, therefore, on the gatekeeper refusing to open, forced their way in through the side palings, cut him down, and killed the dog. He also said that the village officers had informed the police during the day of the presence of the suspicious band. The truth of this man's statement is evinced by the facts that the entry was effected in the way said, that the gatekeeper was cut down, and the dog lay killed just within the gate. The question becomes im portant how all these and doubtless further details should be known throughout the village while the blood was still warn in the veins of those who fell. The speedy arrival of effective aid would also al most imply that the government was forwarned. It is said that the usual guard on the grounds being called on for aid refused, saying that their duty was to write—in fact, to spy and not to fight. It is pre sumable that Mr. Alcock would quickly send these carpet knights about their business. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING,_ SEPTEMBkI: 30, 18-6-1. 1'R107,2, 41, . 5 T 'AMPED sd. LORD IVO:DEB - OUSE ON PUBLIC levent of the French landing on the eastern coast. The plan of defence, in fact, in such a case would i he for the volunteers to contest every inch of ground from behind hedges and every available point of shelter, fulling back to Colchester, where, and at Warley, a considerable force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, would be collected. Honorary Surgeon TUNNALEY proposed the healths of" The Visitors," associating with the toast the name of Major-Gen. Sir A. Wilson, of Delhi, who is an honorary member of the Wymondham corps. (Cheers.) Sir A. WILSON, in responding, said the proceed- ings of the day must have afforded much pleasure to all who witnessed them. As a military man he did not say that the Wymondham was perfect, far from it ; but he trusted that its members would continue what they had commenced so well, and that by zealous and patient attention to drill, they would make themselves as effective as any Line regiment in the country. AFFAIRS. The Governnt.cnt specie tr to the mines,Fonsist ing of 87,000 dols,, under gy.ard of 28 soldiers, was taken. Four of the rebhe'es were taken, of which there were 40 in numbee.. An extensive forgery was effected by a clerk in the Treasury departm ent in Government bills, which have been sold at high rates to the principal mer chants. The amount, as far as can be ascertained, reaches to near £,50,000 sterling. Business continued dull, and but few ships were arriving. The news from Bogota says that Mariano and Pastor Ospina, 13artol-ome Calvo, and Antonio Jose de Sucre, had been v . rdered to be sent as prisoners from Bogota to 0- 4rthagena by General Mosque.

Lord Wodehouse, late Under• Secretary of State the Wyniondham or 21 s t N or f o lk corps of Volun for Forei gn Aff a i rs, en t er t a i ne d yes t er d a y afternoon teers at hi s ances t ra l d oma i n a t Ki m b er l e y. The corps executed some evolutions, under the command of Capt. Gordon, Capt. Bellaire acting as Inspect ing officer; and when the afternoon had advanced they were invited by the noble lord to an elegant repast laid out in a tent in the rear of the mansion. Several county gentlemen, with their family cir cles, were present ; among others Lord Stafford, Lord Bayning, Major-General Sir Archdale Wilson, Mr. E. Howes, M.P., Mr. Brampton Gurdon, M.P., &c. At the head of the tent the arms of the house of Wodehouse were suspended, bearing the motto —highly appropriate to a military occasion— " .Frappe fort," while underneath was the word " Agincourt," the ancient family of Wodehouse having gained distinction in that hard-fought field. Capt. Gordon presided, and, ample justice having been done to the choice viands, the toast of " The Queen" was drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord WODEIXOUSE then said he had great plea sure in proposing " Prosperity to the Wymondham Volunteers." The noble lord, after a few compli mentary observations on the efficiency which the Norfolk corps had attained, as evidenced by the re cent review in Holkam-path, said—l dare say most of you who take sufficient interest in Volunteer topics to have read the various speeches which are made at reviews in different parts of the country have probably noticed a recent speech delivered by no less a person than Lord Ellenborough. No per son inthe speakskingdom m and no man, I am con vinced,a with greater eloquence n animated Ellenborough, by a m ore earnest, patriotic t spirit ; and although I do not agree in all he said, still I think his remarks ought to be taken seriously to heart by the Volunteer body. I don't go quite so for as Lord Ellenborough when he says that the military profession is the first profes sion, and that the first reward is military honour. For my part I have still some affection for the arts of peace, and therefore I am not sure I cou ld go with Lord Ellenborough in that part of his re marks ; still I will say that the arts of peace, un less you also cultivate the arts of war, are of no use. The depend upon it, s h ows that history tnation f everthe world, pros prospered r ed which had not th e military spirit. Unless you, a s a nation, show that you possess the military spirit, an d that you are ready to defend yourselves, the arts of peace, which grow, as it were, under the shadow of such a pro tection, cannot flourish. But that public spirit has never been wanting in England. If any supposed —although, for my part, I never entertained such an opinion —that a long peace h a d i n any degree diminished the public spirit of this country, they must have been entirely undeceived by what has taken place during the last few years. We have not wished for war. God forbid it 1 but we have en tertained the feeling that it is one of the first duties of every citizen of a free country to be prepared to make any necessary personal sacrifice to defend that country in which all that is dear to them is surrounded by all that makes a nation grand in its historical recollection, and all that makes an em• pire worth living for. I will not say that boast ing well becomes us. I will not say that we excel the other nations of the world in pa triotism; but of this I am quite certain, that we make no idle boast when we say that we come be hind no nation in the world in patriotic spirit ; and this is the case because we are, and have been for ages, a free people. (Hear, hear.) Being a free people, we know how to take care of ourselves. We respect the laws, we look up to our Queen and Government, but we rely on ourselves and that self supporting spirit which has always distinguished the inhabitants of this country and brought us through every difficulty, whether it be in peace or war. The Volunteer force has especially illustrated the existence of this spirit. Lord Ellenborough said that military honour was the highest reward, but I think the greatest reward of all is the con sciousness of having done our duty : and we may be certain that wo in this district,—in common with gentlemen in other parts of England, who are making considerable sacrifices of time and taking much trouble for the purpose of promoting this de fensive movement—are doing our duty in the mos t effectual and conspicuous manner. But, gentlemen, while we take credit to ourselves for what is done, let us not forget to look forward to what still re mains to be done. We have seen in another and very great country how signally Volunteers may tail. I should be the last person to say one word in disparagement of the mirage or public spirit of the North American nation ; but this I must say —I think they have boasted too much, and the old saying, that "Pride comes before a fall," was well exemplified in what took place at the battle of Manassas. What has occurred will not, however, prevent the Velua tecrs of North America possessing as they do a pluck and public spirit derived from this country, from recovering their high position, which has certainly been somewhat diminished by recent events. As regards the fatal war in which the Americans are engaged, I will only say that while we should grieve to see any diminution of their military spirit, for no man can look with satis faction on the decline of a great—still less a kin dred—nation, yet we must all wish that this fra tracidal war may end as soon as possible. Gen tlemen, we in this country are not likely to be called upon to take part in such an unhappy contest, and I think we may also congratulate ourselves that we have, at the present time at all events, a good prospect that this country will remain at peace. The feeling of every man in this country, although he w ishes that we should be ready to defend ourselves, is for peace. We echo the old French saying, " Oare a qui me douche;" but we desire that while nations should respect each other, and be prepared to defend their independence and position in the world, they should remain in a state of repose to cultivate those great arts of peace which distinguish this century—that the shield and spear (or rather in these days the rifle, the great weapon of our Volunteers and of modern warfare) should remain hung up in sight and ready, but still not be used unless in self defence. (Loud cheers.) Captain GURDON responded to the toast, and pro posed the health of the noble host, the mention of whose name was very warmly received. Lord WoDEllouse, in acknowledging the compli ment, reviewed the difficulties which the corps had encountered, complimented its members on the energy with which they had overcome all obstacles, and proposed the healths of the officers. Captain GURDON and Captain BELLAIRS replied. The latter gallant officer humorously remarked that he was a sort of T. G. Adjutant, a kind of travelling packman staff officer, goin g a b ou t with orders to firms wearing gray cloth. In none of his commercial visits had he seen a better quality of gray cloth than he had noticed that day. (Laugh ter and cheers.) He had been thinking of the days when the fifth Henry gave the motto " Frappe fort" to one of the aneestore of their host, when pro bably parties of men clad in armour were mustered near the same spot before starting to engage in the great fight of Agincourt. Coming down to the days of the great Marlborough, no doubt a similar contingent was then collected ; and later still, in times of tho Peninsula and Waterloo, the same scene would be again enacted. At all these pageants the men were differently dressed, but the stuff was the same. The men had in old times more false hair on their heads and less on their jowls than was worn now — (laughter) —but they were Englishmen to the backbone, and acted fully upon the motto " Frappe fort." (Cheers.) As regarded the volunteers, he be lieved that in the eastern district they would form the first lino of defence fir 44 Colchester, in tilt) . 1110 Y AL CREMORNE GARDENS. Admission Is.

SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 29. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Tas manian, Capt. Weller, with the West India and Pacific mails, arrived this morning. She brings 83 passengers; specie value 3,283,329 dols., of which 248,181 dols. are from the Pacific ports; jewellery, i',600; pearls and platina, £778; also 475 serons cochineal, 22 serons indigo, 140 serons bark, 141 cases segars, 304 bales tobacco, 27 packages coffee, 41 bales India rubber, 24 packages silver ore, 33 packages Vanilla, 6 live turtle, 509 bags cocoa, and 248 packages sundries. The dates received by this arrival are :—Vera Cruz, September 3d ; Havannab, 7th ; Santa Martha, August 27th; Carthagena, September 2d; Colon, 7th ; Jamaica, 9th ; Jacmel, 10th ; Porto Rico, 12th ; Demerara, 7th ; Tobago, 7th ; Trini dad, Bth ; Barbadoes, 10th ; Grenada, 9th; St. Vin cent, 9th ; St. Lucia, 10th ; Martinique, Guada loupe, Dominique, and Antigua, 11th; St. Kitts, 12th ; Tortola, 12th ; and St. Thomas, 14th. Her Majesty's ships Mersey and Desperate were at Vera Cruz; Landrail, at Colon; Cadmus, at Grenada ; and Termagant, at Panama. The Ameri can ships of war Powhattan, Keyston State, and gunboat Iroquois, had called at St. Thomas for coals, their object being the capture of the priva teer Sumter. Her Majesty's ship Firebrand had been ordered home from Jamaica. The weather at Barbadoes continued very much the same; very little rain had fallen, and the heat at times intense. The crops did not appear to have suffered much, but fears were entertained for them. The estates had nearly completed harvest opera tions. Several fine crops were spoken of in different parts of the country, and general satisfaction pre vailed amongst the planters. Their only complaint was the cost of manufacture, from the unseasonable weather, with the price which the article realises in the home market. The shipments to date amounted to—Sugar, 44,852 hhds., 3,092 tierces, 8,313 barrels; molasses, 10,265 puns., 380 hhds., 768 barrels ; rum, 100 puns., 545 hhds. The im port market was well supplied with all descriptions of breadstuffs. Salted provisions were plentiful, and prices tending downward. Exchange on Lon don :—Bank bills, at 30 days, 490 dols. ; 60 days, 4871 dols. ; 90 days, 485 dols.; private bills, at 90 days, 480 dole. Bank bills on New York, at 30 days, 5 per cent. prem. The Trinidad Council of Government met on the 2d instant. The last remaining vacant seat was filled up by the appointment of F. J. Scott, Esq., beyond this nothing of interest transpired. The produce shipped to date reached—Sugar 31,292 hhds., 6,121 tierces, 2,141 barrels ; molasses, 7,416 puns., 418 tierces; rum, 2,421 puns.; cocoa, 6,965,992 lbs.; coffee, 3,246 lbs. ; cotton, 217 bales, 4 serons ; asphaltum, 1,836 tons. Intelligence from Jamaica states that the Hon. Mr. Whitelake had been sworn in of her Majesty's Privy Council of the island, and as a member of the executive committee. The administration having been formed, speculations were abundant as to what would be the programme of the cabinet in the approaching sessional campaign. The Hons. Edward Jordan and Robert Osborn had disobeyed the injunction of the Colonial-office not to indulge in controversial argument adverse to the policy of the government, and were called upon to resign the appointments they held under the crown, the former that of the honorary office of custos of Kingston, with which Mr. Jordan instantly complied ; the latter, Mr. Osborn, the office of member of her Ma jesty's Privy Council, but from all accounts he had hesitated to comply with his excellency's desire, under the impression that his excellency could only suspend until the pleasure of the crown be made known. The Council of the Royal Society of Arts of Jamaica had invited their fellow:colonists to unite with thew in cnicavolirincr to have the island pro • perly represented in the (heat international Exhi bition of next 3 ear. The barque Maida had arrived from St. Helena with liberated Africans, who have been distributed over the plantations Metcalfe and St. May. It was expected that his Excellency the Governor would summon the Legislature for the despatch of business on the sth November.

We receive with the China mails the North China Herald, containing an account of the murderous at tack made, on the night of the sth July, on the members of the British Legation at Japan. On the 4th inst. (July) the whole party, except ing Mr. de Wit (the Netherlands Consul-General), proceeded to Yedo, being met half-way at a place called Kavasaki, by the whole staff of the Le gation—Mr. Oliphant (newly arrived Secre tary of Legation), Mr. Russell (a nephew of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs), also just arrived in Japan, and other gentlemen —an easy occasion, had it been sought, to dispose at one coup of Ministers, consuls, and attaches. They were allowed, however, to reach Yedo in safety, and to secure an instalment of that rest which they doubtless needed after three and thirty consecutive days' journeying, But "one swallow does not make a spring," and one night's slumber is not sufficient to recruit a weary frame. Soon after dinner, I am told, on the evening of the sth, the chief rose from the table to retire, saying that the day just closing had been the most fatiguing of all (owing to the multitudinous affairs to be attended to), and he had so many hours to sleep to recover. The rest of the company also retired. They, however, shortly assembled again in the garden to admire the comet, which dispersing clouds exposed to view. Most fortunately was this so, for the dominion of sleep was thus postponed a little longer, tending, with other circumstances, to the preservation of their lives. Whilst they were so engaged a murderous band of ruffians, or heroes, (in whichever light they may be veiwed), was ap proaching its unconscious victims. In less than an hour thereafter those who were awake were disturbed by sounds as of wrangling and conflict, which mingled in the dreams of those who as Set but lightly slept. But they were sounds which did not admit of continued slumber— sounds whose terrific significance could not but open the drowsiest eyes. r The Legation is a straggling sort of bungalow, open to the garden at the back, and having pas sages leading through from stables, kitchens, and in fact any direction. At the front there is a large portico door, a feature of all temple architecture, but except to those who come in that particular direc tion no obstacle to free entrance or exit. A Japanese house consists of a roof supported upon beams and wooden posts, divided into rooms and passages by paper screens which slide in grooves between the posts. The transverse beams are generally at a height of about sft. Gin. from the floor. Such a building is the temple at Yedo occupied by the British Legation. The Minister's bedroom is at the rear corner looking out on the garden, and just be yond the dining and drawing rooms, which do so likewise. The other bedrooms are mostly on either side of a tortuous passage leading from the entrance door to the dining room. Just beyond the entrance door is a chamber of the priests, opening by a screen into the hall or main passage. Here Mr. Morrison's Chinese servant was sleeping. The noiso which aroused the sleepers and awak ened all to the impending peril was a determined effort to burst open the main door, upon which (as described) the blows fell like a discharge of mus ketry. A legion seemed to be at the work. I should think, if there was time for any sensation, those who appreciated the reality of tho attack must have felt the cold hand of death—and such a death—upon them. Japanese assassins, reckless of their own lives, seldom leave their work unfinished, and here they were with clamour and yell within a few paces of their destined prey. While yet the door stood fast the Chinaman saw the screen of the priests' room slide open, and a man in complete armour, with sword in hand, come for• ward. He did not wait to see more, but with great SPORTING NOTES. The Newmarket First October Meeting commences to morrow, and extends over four days. The Eastern Counties Handicap, T.Y.C., is the principal event to be decided on the first day. About 40 horses will, in all likelihood, take part in the Scramble. Cosmopolite has only 31bs• more to carry than when ho won so easily at Doncaster, and ho must have a great chance on this occasion. He is most likely to represent the French interest in preference to Gabrielle d'Estrees (backed heavily for the Cambridge shire), 3 yrs, 7st; Palestro, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b; Palaiseau, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b ; and La Vapeur, 3 yrs, Est 101 b (first favou• rite for the Cfesarewitch) ; although should they pull out Gabrielle, her pretensions will be very formidable. Thun • derbolt, 4 yrs, 9st 71b, was amiss not long ago, and his owner may intrust Will-o'-the-Wisp, 3 yrs, 7st Sib, with the colours, both being so fast over a T.Y.C., that the best will have to be looked after. A. Taylor is dangerous again with last year's winner, Cantine, 5 yrs. Sat 121 b ; and his brother with Nicholas, 4 yrs, Bst 71b, or Tight Fit, 5 yrs, 7st 41b; while Audrey, 5 yrs, Bst 71b; General Hessr, 4 yrs, Bst 41b ; Sweetsauce, 4 yrs, Bst 31b; and Sir Wil liam, 4 yrs, Sat 21b, are all fit to carry the weights with some chance of success in a scramble like this. Libellous 4 yrs, Sat ; Chere Arnie, 4 yrs, ist 121 b ; Restes, 4 yrs, 7st Sib ; Gibraltar, 4 yrs, 7st Sib ; Curlew, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Mag giore, 4 yrs, 7st 61b ; Precise, 5 yrs, 7st 51b ; Lord of the Manor, 5 yrs, 7st lib ; and Guilder, 4 yrs, Est 101 b, are also T.Y.C. horses, giving very little weight to the three-yr olds that have shown the least bit of form, of which lot East Sheen, sst 71b, from her running in the City and Suburban, after losing start, has best cause to complain ; Lord Stam ford's two—Pardalotte, 7st, and Lava, Gst 101 b—with Cow ley, 7st Gib, being the next best looking. To select a lot to beat the field I would take Cosmopolite, Sir William, Mag giore, Gibraltar, Lord of the Manor, Curlew, and East Sheen. To reduce them still further, I would retain EAST SHEEN and Six WILLIAM. Brown Duchess should have no difficulty in disposing of the moderate lot that may op pose her in the Grand Duke Michael Stakes. The Triennial for Four yr-Olds is worth 467 k s,vs to the first, 5; sovs to the second, and 271 soya to the third, and Lord Ailesbury will probably send Plumper,Mr Gratwicke, Ebony, and Lord Stamford Dulcibella, to oppose Lord Derby's Cape Flyaway From the recent form Cape Flyaway showed at York when giving weight to Rising Sun and Lady Trespass he should have no difficulty in securing this race. The Twelfth An nual Produce Stakes will be a match between Cape Flyaway and Ebony, and I give the preference to the former. Co THE REVENUE. Towneley has only to enter an appearance with Imperatrice . to place the Hopeful Stakes to his account. Nutbush will beat Little Lady in the 500 sous. match. Diophantus or Imaus will win the St. Leger Stakes, and Camerino the Three:Yr-Old Triennial. Margery ought to hold the King of Hearts safe in the Granby Stakes, as she meets him on 41b better terms here—when they last met he only managed to beat her la.lyship by a head. Ma ter Fenton will carry off the Rutland Stakes, and Lord Stamford's representative the 30 Sovs. Sweepstakes. Funious, LIOHT, ANTHEM, INTIMIDATION colt should produce the winner of the New market October Handley, but the result of previous running will greatly affect the issue. UMPIRE or VOLTELLA will win the Cesarewitch Stakes, most likely tho former, as he is in excellent form, and Fordham will have the mount. rom e Ob.) The quarterly (F return th s of server the Revenue will be made up to-morrow (Monday) evening.. There is still another day's collection to be added; but enough is known to enable us to make an approxi mate resume of the general results. These returns will show a falling off on the quar ter, compared with the corresponding receipts of last year, of something like two millions. The year, as compared with 1860, will exhibit a decrease of about a million. But these deficiencies are more apparent than real, and can be easily accounted for. It will be remembered that Mr. Gladstone esti mated a loss of two millions and upwards from the reduction of a penny in the pound of the income tax and the repeal of the paper duties, But it is not from these sources that the present apparently large deficiency will be found to arise, but from causes entirely exceptional and temporary. Indeed, but for these causes, the revenue would show a positive increase above the estimated amount; and enough is shown by the present returns to lead to the expectation that at the close of the financial year, on the Ist April next, the annual returns will be greater than the last. Of the sum of £2,000,000 it is in the income-tax that the largest failing off will appear, being nearly £1,300,000 (which is self-explanatory), and ab ou t £850,000 under Excise. It will be remem b ered that last year the income-tax was 10d. in tlie pound, and is now 9d. But the falling off in the quarter is five v e a e e q l o u r a a r t t e e r the h instead m o e f n t f s o u a r n a d t t b h r i p g e l u i p od, ti s io o not due to this alo ne . L ast year Mr. Gladstone in a t too o t k o arrears. This year the votes upon the income-tax were taken so late in the session as to throw back materially the collections in this quarter, and it is to this more than the reduction of the penny that the large falling off is due. The deficiency of near a million in the Excise is duo somewhat to the fact that the Chancellor of the Exchequer availed himself of the malt credit last autumn, an operation that of course cannot be re peated in this. But it is right to add that the very bad harvest last year has knocked down th e re ceipts in malt and hops, wherein the d e fi c i ency is mainly to bo found. The excellent quality of the barley this year, and the improvement of the hops over the very bad crop of last year, may be expected to bring back the Excise returns to a more wh o l esome state. The other re ductions on th e year will be found in the land and assessed taxes, chiefly caused by the transfer of game licences to the Excise. In miscellaneous there will appear a reduction of £600,000, of which £500,000 is to be placed to the credit of the repayment from Spain last year, and the remaining £lOO,OOO of last year's excess arose chiefly from the sale of old stores. The total decrease is probably redeemed by an in crease in Customs of about £lOO,OOO, in stamps £120,000, the annual income-tax £BlO,OOO, and in the Post office of about £lOO,OOO. The buoyancy of the Customs, after all the reductions, is one of the most satisfactory items in the account. It is parti cularly remarkable that more than £350,00 0 has been collected on spirits, in spite of all the forebodings of those who opposed the increase and sugar also equalisation of the spirit duties.

"There is no visible activity in our market to re. port; but, on the contrary, commerce appears to be at a standstill, and, although the last steamer from New York did not bring a very large supply, yet so restricted is the demand, that even the limited supply has had a depressing influence on the mar ket, and dealers are unwilling to operate at prices quoted in our last. We again repeat our warning, that importations should be limited, as the demand is small, and our market will easily become over stocked.

The man turning into a side room afforded him a few moments' start, which were invaluable. He handed sword and pistol to his master, who at the same moment heard Mr. Oliphant in the passage, calling for assistance. Mr. Oliphant, it seems, occupied a more distant room, and on hearing the noise of what he thought was a brawl, ran in the direction, armed only with a heavy hunting whip. In the passage he ran against the two foremost assailants, and must have then im mediately received a wound (which is on the right shoulder): Taken in every way at the disadvantage —for, ignorant that an attack was being made, had he been armed and seen them approaching he woali.

Hearing the call of Mr. Oliphant, Mr. Morrison drew aside his screen and found himself beside the parties striking and cutting at each other. (Mr. Russell and Mr. Wergman were approaching, but quite unarmed). He fired at both the assailants— one being seen to fall back, but the other, protected by his armour, was unhurt, and succeeded in again wounding Mr. Oliphant on the left wrist and Mr. Morrison on the head. Cuts upon the posts and transverse beams of the passage showed marks of blows which had missed them, and the protection they had received from the smallness of the space. Sensible of having been wonnded (independent of any pain --for in the excitement of conflict pain is not usually felt)—and knowing " out of court" thQ usual nature of a Japanese sword cut, the sen sations of these gentlemen cannot have been agreeable.

They kicked down a screen of the room from which they were foreign trade. The increase upon stamps is also satisfactory, as every year shows some progress in the dropping in of the legacy and succession duties. The item of Crown lands remains much th e same . Upon the whole, there is every reason, from the ex cellent harvest of this year, to expect a full recovery of Excise loss upon malt and hops, and the Income tax will rigilt itself quite time enough in the opiLion of those whose payments have been only postponed by the tardy legislation 9f last 4C4g911.
