It is at this epoeh that , the bio graphy by Mr. Allen becomes interesting, not that he has not throughout given a faith ful history of the career of Lord Cochrane, but that from this period the public in general are ignorant of the exploits of the late admiral. All admire his daring and seamanship when in a sloop of 14 light 4-pounder guns he captured the Spanish frigate Gamo of 32 heavy guns. But this feat, bold as it was, ig far outdone by his unprece dented exploit of cutting out tb.e Esmeralda frigate from under the guns of a fort, defended by a boom laid across the larbour, and with a picked crew always on the watch in expectation of an attack, and this, too, not as in olden times backed by blue jackets, on whose intrepidity and dash he c ould depend as on himself, but depending on a mixed crew of men of all nations, without unity or motive, but the confidence with which his previous success and determined will inspired his followers was enough. The order that the Esmeralda was to be cut out, and that the admiral would command in person, -was considered by his rough levies as un fait accompli. Those who wish to obtain full information in a small compass on points e the life and ad ventures of the Earl of I)undonald, better known in English history as the gallant Cochrane, the first who dared the wrath of the Board of Admi ralty to vindicate the rights of the seamen, will do well to peruse the little volume by Joseph Allen, author of " The Life of Nelson." The Post Office Directory Atlas of England and Wales. Kelly and Co. Every one admits that this a go-ahead age, and Messrs. Kelly and Co., acting up to the spirit of the times, have continned from time to time to present to the public a series of county directories, supplemental as it were to the Leviathian Direc tory of the metropolis. Revised and corrected to the present time by Mr. B. R. Davies, the well - known map engraver, they now publish in a neat volume maps of all the counties of England and Wales. Most of the plates have already been published in the district directories, but in their reproduction they have been carefully corrected and revised, and may be now considered as an authority for all railways, roads, and general statistics up to December 31, 1860. To each map is appended a table of refe rences giving the number of acres contained, what are the boundaries of the number of members re turned. Throughout this series of maps great pains has been taken to give the fullest informa tion. The Post-office order towns, polling places, &c., are all marked off and recorded in the mar gin. For home or office references the present atlas is all that can be desired, but we hope to see these excellent maps hereafter published sepa rately so as to enable the traveller to carry in his pocket a guide which would render him inde pendent, and not leave him at the mercy of igno rant countrymen or broken sign posts. The Loose Screw. 3 Vols. Saunders and Otley. This is a very strange story, and it is to be regretted that the author does not inform us of the purpose of his complicated narrative. It is described throughout with much ability, and had the plot only been more clearly explained and less extravagantly devised at the conclusion, it would, doubtless, have been successful in its way. As it is, many may be amused at its peculiar style, and can exert their power of divination in speculating as to its special object, and who are the prototypes of the wonderful persons who appear in the third -volume. Whatever time it is meant for, some of the passages about the Board of Guardians may he perused with attention by those connected with those affairs. The sad case of Sally Ruffles is by no means improbable, and it is to be feared that her melancholy end may serve to illustrate the hardships endured by many who are left to the Mercy of such cold and cruel officials. Some of the descriptions here are very quaintly done, and on the whole there is entertainment to be met with in the perusal of these volumes. SPORTING NOTES. The prOgrantaine for Lincoln presents a very flattering appearance. Besides the £5OO of public money there are the steeplechase and handicap, each being worth about £3OO. The Trial Stakes, one mile, has an entry of sixteen, and illeveral first-class horses are in the list, the penalties and allowances making almost a handicap of the affair, for the following are the weights to be carried : Yrs st lb Yrs at lb Amsterdam 6 10 6 Dartmoor .. 3 6 13 First Lord.. .. 49 6 Colt by Hospodar.. 36 13 Guilder .. .. 48 3 Rookawn .. 36 13 ingestre .. 4 8 3 Aurelian 3 6 13 Eheu .. 4 8 0 Sawcutter .. 3 6 13 The Lawyer 3 713 Colt by Rataplan 3 613 Isthmian .. 3 7 3 Conundrum 3 6 13 Eildonan 3 6 13 Keepsake .. 3 6 10 Amsterdam has proved hiujsetf a Jaw, °ugh good horse over a mile, but I think he will find the weight too much ; First Lord is a good horse over his own distance, and when running a dead heat with Weatherbound at last Liverpool Autumn, receiving 21b, he showed that a mile and a quarter was just enough for him ; The Lawyer, if he is pulled out, can scarcely lose, if he has the slightest chance for the Chester Cup. The only others with any chance are Kul doaan and Isthmian ; and, in the absence of The Lawyer, they shall represent me. The City Handicap, one mile and a quarter, has 30 entries, and 16 of them are also in the Lincolnshire Handi cap ; consequently, as the winner would incur a 101 b penalty for the latter, no doubt many will be reserved for the great event; but should Vixen, First Lord, and North Lancashire run, I have no doubt the winner will be found amongst them. I give the decided preference to Vixen. For the Grand Steeplechase, about four miles, there are 20 acceptances, and Old Ben Roe heads the list with list 51b, but he may be kept for the Liverpool race ; and Jeru salem, list, represents the heavy weights, if allowed the preference over his companions, The Puddler, 9st 101 b, Marmion, 9st 61b, and Bannockburn, Bst 91b. The French stable is sure to be ably represented by Jean du Quesne, lOst 41b, 'or - The Colonel, 10st. Green's stable will be represented by either The Tattler or Cockatoo. The French horses are very forward in the preparation, and whichever they send should furnish the winner. The nominations for the Lincolnshire handicap reach the goodly number of 52, notwithstanding which there has been little or no speculation, and so few names have been mentioned in connection with it, that it is quite out of the question my more than pointing out the horses I consider best t , in." It would appear that four only have as yet paid forfeit, Lustre, Confidence, Beethoven, and Bab at the Bowster ; but as the northern trained horses are almost all very backward, I shall expect the scratchings ere the day to be far in excess of a moiety of the whole. Though the mile is within the compass of the three year olds, the race has only fallen to two of that age in the six years it has been run, and I very much doubt if any better success will attend the dozen engaged on the present occasion. . Amsterdam, 5 yrs, Bst 31b : Master Bagot, aged, Sst 81b ; nor Misty Morn, 6 yrs, Bst 81b—cm complain of their imposts, and Master Bagot must hold a great many safe. I can see nothing able to beat him down to - Forager, 4 yrs, 7st 91b, who preyed himself a good horse at York last August; and the next to him on the list is also dangerous, Eskdale, 5 yrs, 7st 71b, having run pretty well up with Gallus and Gaspard at even weights in the mile and a quarter Craven Stakes at Epsom Summer. Then comes Donner rind Blitz, 4 yrs, 7st 71b, who not only made Sabreur gallop at York, but won a mile race at Doncaster very easily, by which he should hold Spicebox, 4 yrs, 7st, 41b, safe, as the latter, giving him 11b, was ";nowhere" in the contest referred to. Golden Pippin, 4 yrs, 754 21b, will be a good thing when wanted, but from the operations in the market for the last two or three days it would seem that the stable has been forestalled. However, if the mare comes all right to the post, and backed in , earnest by her party, I will stand her alone. The others which take my fancy are Jenny Longlegs, Spicebox, and Isthmian. In the absence of Golden Pippin I shall pin my faith to Jenny Longlegs. Touching the Derby. From all the accounts I have of the favourite for the blue ribbon, his backers have more reason to be confident than ever. The horse has wintered well, and it now seems only a question of health for Mr. Merry to carry off the Derby two years in succession. The only formidable antagonist that Dundee has got to fear is Dictator, and I would advise him to be backed for a situation. Bombardier, who has lately been nibbled at on account of a wonderful performance with The Lawyer at the Curragh S ep t e mber Meeting, has no gr ea t p er f ormances to recom mend him for Derby honours. On the above occasion ( carr ying 51b extra) he was beaten in a canter by two lengths. He won the Anglesey Stakes, beating 15 others) but later in the season, at the Curragh October meeting, lie only managed to secure the Eglinton Stakes by a head from such a performer as Ballyedmond. Hi s only other performance was a walk over for the Sligo Stakes. With the above moderate recommendations I think he ought only to be allowed to remain in the betting till his namesake leaves Gaeta, which is expected to take place in a day or two. Far the Two Thousand Ido not think an investment on Russley would be thrown away. With regard to the Che ster Cup,thine horses onth the that I selected as forming a lot tha t were "well after noon that the weights appeared, viz , Chere Amie, Man-at- Arms, Wallace, Schism, Wild Rose, and nano anti the are almost the only ones that take a prominent part in betting. A FRESHMAN FIRE AT PIMLICO.—On Saturday afternoon a fire broke out in the orphanage belonging to the church of St. llarnabas, Pimlico. The fire originated in the kitchens used as a laundry. The whole of the inmates, however, eftected their escape without injury. The flames were not extinguished until the laundry was completely burned out. -~"~~~ M O N EKB2' AND OI7'Y NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the past week there has been very little improvement in the state of trade in the manufac turing districts. Business at Leeds has been dull, while at Manchester increased depression has pre vailed. and yarns and cloths have shown a further slight decline. At Bradford piece goods were in limited request. The hosiery and lace trade at Leicester and Nottingham ha 3 been rather more active, but a large number of the operatives are still out of employment. In the hardware districts there has been slight symptoms of improvement, and at Birmingham, Sheffield and Wolverhampton a better enquiry for goods for the home markets has been experienced. Continued pressure is experienced in the general discount market, and the rates indicate increased stringency. The demand has been stimulated not only by the subscriptions to the Indian Loan, but also by the extensive purchases of silver for trans mis,ion to the East, chiefly for the purchase of cotton. The steamer Messilia, which will leave for India to-morrow, will take out upwards of half a million sterling in that metal, and it is expected that the movement will be kept up for some time, as the authorities will no doubt remit a portion of the £3,000,000 they have just obtained at the earliest opportunity. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England on Saturday. The steamer Massilia which leaves tomorrow, the 12th inst., will take £2,000 in gold to Alexan dria, and £21,900 in gold and £504,805 in silver, to Bombay In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, business continued inactive, and prices were de pressed, The sales were 6,000 bales. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending the 25th inst., exhibits an increase of £2,825 when compared with the same period in 1860. A firmer tone has pervaded tho market for Public Securities to-day in consequence of several speculative purchases, Consols being 911 92 for money; and 921 --1 ; for the March account. Busi ness, however, is dull, and the market presents a quiescent appearance. The New Threes are steady at 91 . 4 92 ; the Reduced, at 911 92. Bank Stock is at 232. India ditto has receded to 217 ; ditto 5 per Cents. 1021 ; ditto New Scrip is 1004 ; and Exchquer Bills are flat at ss. to 4s. dis. Very few dealings have been reported in Foreign Securities, but prices are generally steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 70,; ditto (1858), 551 to 56; and ditto £lOO Bonds have declined to 561; but the 4 per Cent. Guaranteed are arm at 1001; and Spanish at 48; ditto Passive at 18e, 1, and Belgian 41 per Cents. at 98 ; but Brazilian 41 per Cents. (1860) have receded to 858. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have not been very extensive, and the variations in prices have barely exceeded 2 per cent. Caledo nonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, North- Eastern:(Ber wick) and South-Eastern have receded about ss. ; and Bristol and Exeter and North- Western, 10s.; Great Western have improved 55.; and London and Brighton and Great Northern A Stock 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets the deal ings were limited ; prices, however, were generally fairly maintained. South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetjan rose to 138 ; Great Western of Canada to 111 e ; and Great Indian Peninsula to 951. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in moderate favour. London Joint Stock have improved ss. ; Union •of London, ss. ; Oriental Bank declined 10s. ; and Ottoman Bank, ss. ; Canada Land Shares have improved to 111 and 112, and Red Sea Telegraph shales remain steady at I.Bk.

Moderate supplies of wheat were on offer in the provin cial markets on Saturday. Goed and fine samples were taken off freely, and, in some instances, prices were rather higher. Inferior kinds ruled heavy. There was a fair sale for barley, at previous rates, and all other produce was firm in price. The continental markets have become steady for produce generally. In the United States, however, bread stuffs have commanded less attention for export purposes. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad, we received 54,342 quarters of wheat; 25,900 barley; 4,600 oats ; 7,021 beans ; 576 peas ; 20 tares ; 3,199 linseed ; 2,084 rapeseed ; 70 sundry; 504 sacks, and 36,310 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, was much restricted, and the greater portion of the samples was in very poor condition. The deniand, however, for all descriptions was in a most inactive state ; neverthelesi, no concessions were made in the quotations current on this day se'nnight. The show of foreign wheat was large, fresh as well as ex granary. In most kinds a fair business was transacted, but the inquiry must be considered far from active. Prices, compared with last week, scarcely altered. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, yet there is no change to notice in their value. Malting barley was scarce, and sold readily at, in some instances, rather higher prices. Grinding and distilling qualities ruled steady at full quotations. The malt trade was in an inactive state, yet factors were firm. Oats were disposed of to a moderate extent, on former terms, ex granary, but dealers generally prefer to wait for foreign importations prior to laying in stock. Beans were tolerably firm in price, but the demand for them was not very active. The iaquiry for peas ruled steady, on former terms. Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions of flour, owing to the large influx of American barrels. Prices, however, ruled about stationary. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day. Sheep and calves moved off freely at very full prices. Beasts were a slow inquiry. The general quality of the foreign stock was tolerably good. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts were seasonably good, both as to number and quality Although the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the demand for nearly all breeds was in a sluggish state, at prices barely equal to Monday last. The top quotation for beef was 4s 10d per Blbs, From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,600 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other parts of England, 1,100 various breeds ; and from Scotland 120 Scots and crosses. _ _ _ We were again very moderately supplied with sheep, which for the most part came to hand in very middling con dition, hence all good and prime sound sheep were in im proved request, and in some instances the currericks had an upward tendency'—the best old Downs having realised Os 2d per 81bs. The supply of calves was only moderate, and the veal trade ruled steady at quite last week's currency--viz., from 4s 8d to 5s 8d per 81bs. We have to report a fair but by no means active inquiry for pigs, at full quotations. The primest pigs sold at 5s per 81bs. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 1,221. In the corresponding week in 1860 we received 1,207 —in 1859, 2,479—in 1858, 358—in 1857, I,ol6—in 1856, 621—and in 1855, 379 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON Lae? WEEK. From. Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.) TROU UNAN V. FLESIIER.-FLESHER V. TROHUNAN. His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, said--In this case the question is, whether there is sufficient evidence of ttly agreement parole or written to obtain a lease of the farm of Leadey. His Honour, in considering the terms of the letter of the 9th April, 1858, by the plaintiff, and the de fendant's letter of the Bth of March following, and the parole evidence produced, was of opinion that there was no concluded agreement for a lease. And his opinion was confirmed by the decisions of Sir William Grant in Green v. Suttens and by Lord Redesdale in Steen v. Radesky, where it was held that the the lease was not binding on the remainder men unless actually executed. The remainder men would not be bound by the informal agreements of the tenant for life, but this declaratign does not extend to the parol agreement, but it is insufficient. His Honour contended that there was not sufficient evidence to entitle the plaintiff to ask for specific performance of the alleged agreement for a lease in this case. His Honour observed that under the en larged jurisdiction of this court by the new Act of Parliament, a better remedy would lie in a claim for compensation or damages than in the relief asked for by specific performance of the agreement. His honour made one declaration in both causes to the effect that the bill for specific performance must be dismissed with costs, and that the costs must include the cost of evidence in both causes. Declare that the plaintiff must give up possession —adjourn the cause to Chambers to take accounts, with liberty to apply. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. RAE V. THE THAMES IRON WORKS AND SHIP-BUIDING COMPANY. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Hindmarsh, aad Mr. Griffits, were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Webster, and Mr. V. Harcourt, for the defendant. This was an action brought for the infringement of a patent which the plaintiff had taken out for an improve ment in the formation of the keel for iron steam vessels. The defendant pleaded ." Not Guilty ; that it was not a first invention ; that it was not new ; that it was not the subject of a patent, &c. The plaintiff had been workman, foreman, and manager to Messrs. Rennie. The defendants' company having been established, they secured the services of the plaintiff. The defendants had centracted to build two ships for the Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company. The plaintiff was aware of a great defect in connecting the kelson with the keel in ships, and he had invented a mode of doing this, which he thought a great improvement. He had kept his plans and models sealed up in his own private office. Two persons connected with the Mail Company had come down to talk to him about the ships the defendants were building for them, and, in confidence, he showed them his models, telling them he should take out a patent. They highly approved the improvement, and requested plaintiff to apply it to their ships. Soon after this, on the 10th of April, 1858, the plaintiff took out a patent, and at the end of that month the directors and the plaintiff disagreed, and he left their service. After that time they applied his invention to the Warrior and other ships which they built, and refused to allow the plaintiff any royalty, and this gave rise to the present action. For the defendants-it was urged - that the plaintiff must be Ronsuited, inasmuch as before he took out his patent he had communicated his invention, and had caused it to be used to two of the defendants' ships. The result of the proceedings was a nonsuit on the ground of publication. POLICE IN7ELLI%ENOE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING IN SPIRITS. SUNDAY TRADING.—Maria Snell, of 8, Husband-street, Sohe, a dealer in old clothes, was charged before Mr. Beadon by Inspector Webb, of the C division, with selling spirits, not being licensed to do so, contrary to the 6th George 111., cap. 80, secs. 138 and 140. In the prisoner's possession was found several bottles and decanters containing rum and gin, and also a half quartern Berketf, 143 C, proved going to defendant's house, and being served with a glass of gin and a glass of rum, fer which he paid 51d., about eleven the previous morning, and also seeing several other persons supplied with rum and gin from bottles under the counter, for which they all paid. Inspector Charles Webb, of the C division, proved going about noon the previous day, ac2ompanied by Butcher, 137 C, and seeing in the parlour the last witness, and a man and two women, sitting there. Some glasses were on the table half full of rum and gin. He told the defendant he held a warrant from the Board of Inland Revenue, and on searching the place found several bottles oontaining rum and gin; in all seven bottles, containing six pints of gin and four pints of rum, and a half-quartern measure which he had ascertained to have been stolen from a neighbouring public-house. Mr. William Edward Guttridge, excise supervisor of the district, proved defendant was not licensed to sell spirits. Mr. Beadon said the defendant was liable to a penalty of £lOO. It was a wholesale, case, and had it been proved that the practice was carried on in the neighbourhood he should have inflicted the full fine. As it was he should fine her £25 or three months' hard labour. TEE CAPE OF GOOD 110 P P. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 10, j By fu?..

The vine disease prevails to a great extent zt Wor cester, where its preventative, sulpLur, is not to be had. It continues at Graaf Reinet ; here 11:0 per lb. was obtained for a clip of 37 bales of fine unwashed wool. Trade is slightly improved at Port Elizabeth. In the eastern provinces smallpox is spreading among the Catfres. The elect) ie wire is in course of suspension between King William's Town and the port of East London. Mr. Wollaston hopes that within two years Natal will be con nected with Cape Town. The screw steam frigate Forte, 51, Capt. Ed ward Turnour, flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Keppel, was appointed to leave Table Bay on Tl, O Ist of January for the Island of Ascension. Th e screw steam sloop Lyra, 6, Commander It. 13. Oldfield, was ordered to leave shortly after Christ mas Day, for the Zambesi. The paddlewheel steam frigate Sidon, 22, Captain Richard B. Crawford, was to leave for the same destination on the 29th of December, with missionaries. The conduct of Capt. Crawford formed the subject of a Court of Inquiry, composed of Capt. Tumour, Capt. A. F. de Horsey, of the Brisk, and Commander Oldfield, on board the Forte, on the 24th of December. A Court-martial at Ascension may follow. The two officers of Marines belonging to the Sidon have been transferred to another ship.

SEATON CAREW, DURHAM, Sunday.—At five o'clock this morning, the Seaton Carew lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, saved the crew, of eight men, of the brig Provi dence, of Harkworth, which, during a fearful gale of wind, was stranded a mile to the north of Seaton Carew. Again, at eight, a.m., when the storm was raging in its full fury, the noble lifeboat went out and took off the crew, eight in number, of the brig May Flower, of Newcastle, -.wrecked on the East Gase Sand, at the entrance of the Tees. The boat behaved very well on both occasions. BEAUMARIS, Sunday.—At daybreak this morning, during a gale of wind, some sailors were observed clinging to the rigging of a vessel which had sunk during the night, on the Dutchman's Bank. The Penmon lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institu tion, immediately proceeded to their assistance and brought them, four in number, safely on shore. They belonged to the schooner Village Maid, of Fleetwood, and had been in the rigging thirteen hours. Any other boat than a lifeboat would have been swamped on the occasion, as five successive seas nearly filled her, but she immediately emptied herself of them. RHYL, Sunday.—lt blew here yesterday a strong gale from E.N.E., with thick weather and heavy rain. The schooner William, of Liverpool, was observed to be stranded about a mile and a half from Rhyl. The tubular lifeboat, which also:be longs to the National :Lifeboat Institution, was after some delay in procuring horses, launched:and proceeded off, and afterwards succeeded in taking the whole crew of five men safely to shore. ARKLOW, Saturday.—The Arklow lifeboat be longing to the National Lifeboat Institution was instrumental during a terrific gale from the N.E. and a fearful sea in recovering the crew of five men from a vessel, which had got ashore between the South Pier and the rocks. Owing to the very tem pestuous state of the weather, the lifeboat experi enced immense difficulty in accomplishing her mis sion of mercy ; but, thank God, she at last succeeded, and brought the poor fellows safely ashore. SKIIRRIES, COUNTY DUBLIN, Saturday Night. — A frightful storm has been raging all day on this coast, and there are no signs of its moderating. The schooner Margaret Ann, came ashore near Skerries, and her crew of five hands were taken off by.tbe lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Instituretriso. The crew of the smack Gipsy, of Newry' taken off by the same most able life boa t vi height of the storm , at the back ofthie in the eSkerries Islands. The lifeboat crew behaved nolo- on both occasions. A fire of a very threaten- FIRE AT MAN CIIESTEB.-- ing character was discovered in Bridgewater -place, off g Market-street , Manchester, early on Friday niht. The principal warehouse which suffered by the fire was that of Messrs. Wadsworth, Bowcock, and Co., and it was so closely hemmed in by buildings on all sides that three warehouses were on fire at one time. Tho fire brigade worked most vigorously and successfully, though some thousands pounds' damage was done before the fire was extinguished, lifanchester Examiner. A MAN'S EYE STRUCK OUT BY A FOWL.—On Wednesday a labouring man, named Joseph Arch, w as cleaning a fowl house on the property of Mr. Bassington, of Haresfield, near Gloucester, when a cock fowl which was standing near him suddenly flew at him, drove his spurred feet into his face, and struck out one of his eyes. The pain occasioned by the disaster was most excruciating, and the sufferer was admitted into the infirmary, where he received surgical treatraqlti—l3ristol Mercury. .THE RUSSIAN TREATY TVI2II Cli/ The following curious letter from Kiachta appears in the Abeille du Nord of St. Peterburg : " You cannot form an idea of the enthusiasm with which our merchants have received the news of the conclusion of the treaty of commerce with China. It opens a new and brilliant perspective for Russian trade, and it realizes our most sanguine expectations. Our merchants are about to travel into Mongolia, and to establish a factory in the capital of that province. Thence they will pene trate into Kalagan, the principal centre when tea is sent to Kiachta. A great number ,of our mer chants have already given orders to,purchase houses and stores to deposit their merchan.dise. General Tgnatieff, who concluded this advanta i geous treaty, is on his return to St. Petersburg. He was received here with withusiasm. He was only 15 days in travelling from Pekin to Kiachta. This was the quickest journey ever accomplished, but it must not be forgotten that the Chinese Government, saved. in a great measure by the Russian Envoy, did all in their power to gratify his slightest wishes. General Ignatieff arrived at Kiachta on the 7th of December. Immediately after the evacuation of Pekin by the allies, General Seu.Wan, who was encamped at 30 wersts to the south of the city, made his appearance and commanded numer ous discharges of musketry. This was explained to the Europeans as the usual manceuvre practised every autumn, but I have no doubt that it was done to induce the Chinese to believe that it was the firing which forced the enemy to withdraw. The Emperor of China is still at Ge-he, whither he fled after the battle lost under the walls of Pekin. It is said that on his journey he was glad to be able to procure some ground rice to eat—his arrival not being expected. His wife refused to quit the capital. Besid: s the Palace of Yuen-Ming Yuen other Im perial residences were pillaged by the allied armies. Even private property was not spared. The Emperor of China's brother apologised to the Russian commis sioners, saying that there was nothing left in his palace which he could offer them as presents. It is to be remarked that during the negotiations with the English and French Ambassadors this Prince did not inhabit his usual residence, but took up his abode in a temple of idols (Koumirnia) at Pekin. The reason was that, having been commanded by the Emperor to open negotiations with the allies, he was not permitted to visit his palace until the treaty was concluded, and the Emperor informed of it. It is difficult to imagine anything like the cowardice of the Chinese. A Russian observed on the field of battle objects like a number of crows On approach ing them he found to his amazement, that they were thousands of soldiers' helmets thrown away. Every time the braves thought it more prudent to fly than to fight they divested themselves of every mark of their rank, and disguised themselves as soon as possible as peasants. Their constant de feat is explained by the fact that as soon as they perceive the enemy they begin to fire, without waiting to ascertain whether their fire produces any effect. After 20 shots the guns become too hot for service just at the moment that the enemy ap proaches and opens fire on his side. They then run as fast as their legs can carry them. The Chinese attribute their defeat to the fact that the English and French soldiers are preceded by witches who are invulnerable themselves, and who fire the guns for the men. Notwithstanding the horrible bar barity which the Chinese generals practised towards the English and French prisoners, the European Governments should unanimously support the Em peror of China id his struggle with the insurgents, because it is only after the reestablishment of peace in tire country that they will be able to de rive all the advantages promised by the treaty of peace." A GHOST A 2' FAULT. A rather singular affair, in which the serious and the ludicrous were about equally combined, occurred occurred on Wednesday morning last. Mr. William Hallum, beerhouse- keeper, 275, Rochdale-road, retired with his wife and family to rest, at their usual time, ou Tuesday night. All slept soundly until six o'clock on Wednesday morning, when, at half-past six o'clock, Mrs. Hallum went downstairs, carrying her clothes over her arm, intending to dress herself before the fire, which had been raked. When at the bottom of the stairs, however, she perceived a light under the kitchen door. On opening the door, she was surprised to see two men sitting enjoying themselves * very comfortably with a can full of ale and two glasses on tLe table. They were equally surprised by her unexpected visit, and jumping up made towards the kitchen door. She cried, " Thieves !" and, seizing the poker, gave one of them a blow on the arm. The other man struck her on the head with one of his boots, which he held in his hand. She screamed out '6 Murder !" and the men got out of the back door. At this moment Mr. Helium rushed downstairs t o his wifes assistance, and, of course, be had , s tayed 'to dress. He sprang into the k itchen ! e' a s ndhan tak ing the poker from his courageons g w e if s, Here he ran out into the back yard and pas so unfortunately turned in t he wrong direction.

Mr. Malign which brought to him the e h ' a for hima The pout screamed_ _protection, but .he was a blow l o o n w e of withth e thiev e s, vtak taking 7 stand. to the beer-house. On presenting him w as taken before Mrs. Helium, however, she said he was not one o f the two men who had been in the house. As !night be supposed, he complained of being cap. tured and struck in such a manner, and threatened legal punishment. Mr. Hallum told him he ought not to have run away, but should have stopped. " Stopped !" said the youth, - would you have stopped ? I thought thou was some madman or ghost after me !" When the matter was explained, however, he became better satisfied. The house had been entered through the kitchen window, and, from the slops on the table, it was concluded that the thieves had made pretty free with the drink. Mrs. Hallum states that they wore some kind of mask to conceal their faces. A quantity of wearing apparel was wrapped up, ready for carrying otif ; but, having stayed too long indulging in their love of beer, they were disturbed in the A way narrated. 1 of A CHILD PARTLY EATEN BY A RABBIT.--A singular circumstance occurred at Hull on Friday, the Ist inst. The diet of rabbits, generally speaking, consistu of vegetable and roots, but one of these creatures, belonging to Mr. Courtenay, photog,raphist,residing at No. 10, 04 ean place, Hull, was found by the servant (who was attracted to the cradle in consequence of the child crying) busily en gaged making a meal of the hand of the child, which is 10 months old. It was at once taken off, when it was found that two fingers of one hand and a finger and thumb of sette. the other had beef eaten completely away.—YorkshireGN ions; was ypt, give will thin. 100 100 100 16 13 4 100 100 100 5 174 all 6 6a 6 68 100 971 7 5 4 1051 691 I 20i 204 10 100 1 100 100 17 20 stock 100 100 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock stock sto* 1000 32i 10 stock 25 stock stock 23 stock 16 stock 100 stock 2.14.6 7.4.0 0 2 14 1 9.18.9 lf 10.6.7 all all all all all .11.10) 47. 5i 5 7.5 1.7.2 99 i 9 lit ; 91 2 13 i Ii ii 4 I 1, 1061' 91i 111} 211 r7O 11 \ I
