Lerch and Maguire. Temporary Offices—No. 1, Coleman-street -buildings, Moor gate-street, E.C. This Company Is formed for the purpose of purchasing an extensive and valuable grant of Lead, Copper, Iron Ore. and Slate, en the north side of the noted Ceder Idris Mountain, known as the Cyfannedd-fawr, in the parish of Llanegryn, Merionethshire, North Wales, held under lease for 21 years, at, 1-15th Royalty on all minerals (except Iron Ore, at a Royalty of only 4d. per ton). The great grant includes numerous lodes of Lead, Zinc, and Copper -Iron of the beat quality, and blende with traces of Gold—also excellent Slate. An adit-level intersects several lodes of Silver-lead, or Galena. A Copper lode opened upon, gipromise of excellent re ves p An Iron vein runs through the entire grant. .An extensive bed of Slate of good cleavage can be worked to ereat advantage. The Silver-lead, proved by assay, has yielded 40 ounces of silver to the ton of ore. Lead and Copper from a shaft at the end of the adit have vealleed £32 per ton. The Iron vein is estimated to produce 61 per cent. of iron. The Slate is of superior ouality, and can 19e cut into pave ment, flooring, chimney pieces, Zzc. The streams of water running through the grant offer great facilities for working, scouring, and cutting the slate. In fact, a Quarry opened upon the property will pay well f or workin g . The foregoing facts and the position of the grant, in a rich mineral district. warrant the conclusion that. efficiently worked, the mine is capable of yielding returns equal to those of the most profitable mines in the Principality. The property being advantageously situated about half a mile from the Welsh Coast Railway, from which a siding can be constructed at moderate cost, ani only 21 miles by public road from the shipping port of Barmonth, affords a facility of transit which greatly enhances its value. With these alvantagee. and adequate water power for working machinery, dressing ores, &c., the Directors, after careful investigation, confidently anticipate that 10s. per share uon the capital of the CompanY will be sufficient to develope the wealth of the mine, and produce profitable re sults without further calls. The Lessee having agreed to take £3,000 in cash. and 5.000 paid up shares, assigns all his interest in the mine, inc uding upwards of 1(,0 acres of mineral ground—the previous out lay—mining, buildings, smith's shop, offices. dressing floors, bucking house, &c., immediate operations can therefore be commenced when, in the judgment of the Directors, sufficient capital is subscribed. Samples of the different ores taken from the mine, reports, prospectuses, and forms of application for shares, may e obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company; and the deposit paid on application will be returned if no allotment be made to the applicant.

It has long - been felt that Torquay, with its large, wealthy, and increasing population, and the great number of visitors who resort to it both in winter and - summer for health and pleasure, stands much In need of the accommodation of a first-class modern Hotel of the character so successfully esta blished in London and some of the leading watering places of England and on the Continent. This Company is formed 'o supply this requisite, and a roost eligible site, upon which the favourite residence of Col. Meyrick now stands, has been secured for the purpose. The Hotel, sea, w gunds of considerable extent sloping to the sea, will have a southern aspect. and occupy a situation generally considered the most salubrious in Tor quay. Here the invalid may enjoy the benefits of an Italian winter without losing the comforts of an English residence. 'The property selected commands one of those delightful sea views which have contributed to obtain for Torquay the high reputation it has so long enjoyed. Provisional arrangements have been made with thepro prietor of the Royal Hotel, whereby the Company will be placed at once in possession of a valuable connection and lucrative business on most favourable terms. The Company will thus obtain an immediate source of profit, with the op portunity of ensuring prospective advantages. The experience of the last few years has abundantly shown that the attractions of the modern first-class Hotel are eagerly sought after, and having regard to this circumstance, and to the determination of the Directors to combine in every department a judicious sapervision with the highest attain able excellence of manaement, no reasonable doubt can be entertained that the present undertaking will prove success ful and amply remunerative to the shareholders. Torbay and the immediate Channel have long been known to yachtsmen as one of the most unrivalled cruising gruunds on the English coast. A valuable accessory will be founl in the new harbour, the formation of which in the immediate vici , ity of the town is contemplated, and which, when c pleted, will afford greatly increased aecomm)dation for the anchorage of yachts.

The following order for the establishment of a military and civil administrative tribunal in the Governments of Wilna, Kowno, Gardno, Minsk, Witepsk, and Mohilew has been issued by General Mouravieff:— " 1. In accordance with the Imperial use of the 9th of August, 1861, all measures applicable to a state of siege are to be at once put in force in all towns and circles of the above-named Governments. The same shall be brought into operation regardless of consequences, and upon the strictest responsibi lity of the military and civil officials. "2. A war police council, from whose decision there shall be appeal, is to be nominated in every circle. The superior military commanders equally with the chief Governmental authorities are in duty bound to appoint circle prefects during the time of war, selecting those distinguished for energy and foresight. Staff officers commanding troops stationed in these places are to be preferentially chosen ; but where such officers have been already nominated, and have failed in duly executing their functions, they shall be immediately replaced by other persons. The circle-chiefs appointed for the duration of the war shall exercise authority over all troops sta tioned within their districts and all civil powers. All proprietors of estates, servants, clergy, nobility, tenants, and the entire town and country popula tion, without distinction of calling or position, are dependent upon and under the jurisdiction of these officials. The circle-chiefs are recommended to take under their protection all inhabitants faithful and devoted to the monarch and the Russian supremacy, especially the rural population, protecting these by force of arms against the insurgents, and organising a militia from among their own body, according to the rules hereby laid down. Remark.—Reliable lists of all landed proprietors in the circles and towns care to be drawn up in the form of circle citizen-books, and to be kept in con stant order. The occupation of every separate person and the degree of confidence placed in him must be duly noted, and the strictest surveillance is to be exercised over all. In these books the rural population is not to be mixed up with that of the circles and towns, bat only the number of inhabi tants in each community is to be recorded. " 3. The circle-chiefs shall establish a permanent severe war police administration in the districts of every provincial circle, committing it to the charge of reliable military or civil persons, and keeping as nearly as possible to the principles already esta blished and here laid down, or they may also intrust these functions to district commissioners upon the same general principles. In such parts of the circle where it appears possible a militia shall be organ ized in accordance with the instructions already forwarded to the government presidents, in order to protect the rural population against robbery, plunder, and outrage by the insurgents. The circle chiefs must use every means at their disposal—and in pressing cases with the assistance of the troops —to suppress even the slightest attempt at revolt by the employment of the militia, to arrest the ori ginators of the disturbance, and to deliver them up to a quarter in which they will be dealt with ac cording to the full severity of military law. "4. The circle-chiefs, for the better preservation of order in the circles respectively committed to their charge, shall immediately make arrangements for establishing burgher-guards upon the roads and in all villages and hamlets, and, are authorised to su pervise all persons travelling to and fro, and to allow no one to pass without a permit signed by the cap tain of the circle. They are especially to take care that no person escape who is in any way suspected of participation in the insurrection, no matter to what class such person may belong. Any one of this description is to be immediately arrested and delivered up to the circle-chiefs. This order, how ever, is not to apply to persons residing in the neighbourhood of the guard and to inhabitants no toriously well affected towards the Government. " 5, Simultaneously with the introduction of the war police administration the circle-chiefs are not to remain inaetive in the towns, but shall continu ally clear the circle from insurgents with the troops at their disposition, and with th e ass i s t ance o f t h e militia and rural p o p u l a ti on protect t h e i nha b itants from violence, taking care that no new bands are under any circumstances organised, and the reins of power are replaced in the hands of the legitimate Government. " 6. To restore order and tranquillity completely in the various districts the circle chiefs shall at once take oharge of all weapons within the towns and in the country now in the custody of land owners and their servants, the nobility, tenants, clergy, and convents ; also generally from the inha bitants of all towns, with the exception of native Russians of the abovementioned classes, and sueh foreigners as the authorities of the town shall con. eider trustworthy. The weapons thus confiscated and all ammunition are to be handed over to the military authorities, who will then, as far as neces sary, equip the militia from these sources. " 7. Such persons only shall be disarmed in the rural communities, military colonies, and villages as notoriously do not deserve the confidence of the authorities, without distinction of religious belief, as the majority of the rural population, although not of the Greek faith, is unquestionably faithfully devoted to the Sovereign, and will make every sacrifice to restore order, by assisting in the capture and delivery over to the tribunals of all belonging to their respective communities who have partici pated in the insurrection. " k 3. The shortest possible time, in no case ex ceeding three days from the issue of the order, shall be appointed for the disarmament of the circles and towns. Whoever neglects to comply therewith in the given period shall be arrested and delivered over to the tribunals. The disarmament shall be repeated in those districts whore it has already taken place. The permits to keep arms hitherto granted are to be considered as henceforth cancelled. " 9. Simultaneously with the disarmament of the districts the circle chiefs are to take measures for expelling from the circles all individuals, members of the nobility or clergy, &c., not well affected to the Government, who participate more or less in the insurrection. Persons convicted of breach of their oath shall be at once arrested and delivered over, with the protocol of their offence, to the nearest military Court or the governmental captain, to be dealt with according to military law. The circle-chiefs will be held responsible for every un necessary leniency or partieanship in this respect. " 10. All landed proprietors, with the stewards or agents who manage their estates, must be reminded in the most emphatic manner that they will be held personally responsible for every organisation of re bel bands or conspiracies against the Government carried on upon their possessions; likewise for the support of any such undertakings with money or supplies, and that the punishment for their personal aid or participation will be greater for themselves than for that of their domestics. " 11. Such persons shall also be held responsible if unlicensed individuals or rebels or disturbers of the public peace of any kind are permitted to take refuge in their houses. " 12. All priests, and especially the pastors in towns and villages, are hereby warned that they will be subject to instant arrest for participation in the insurrection by word or deed, by incitement, or by publicly reading rebellions proclamations and manifestoes inside or outside the churches, and to stringent punishment with the utmost severity of military law. The excuses such persons frequently employ, that they had only participated in the re bellion by the pressure of superior force, shall not be accepted, as priests who serve the altar are least of all justified in allowing themselves to be terrified by threats. It is their duty to devote themselves to the pacification of the country and to induce every person to keep the oath of allegiance towards his Sovereign. Priests who fail to accomplish this duty are doubly culpable, and will be subjected to the severest punishment as examples to the rest. The superiors of Catholic convents will be made respon sible for the preparation and storage in the same of materials for the objects of the revolt, and fall un der the jurisdiction of the military tribunals. " 13. The cir-captains shall at once arrest and de liver over to the military authorities all citizens— in especial landed proprietors, stewards, superiors of convents, and local clergy—who shall participate in the revolt, or distribute revolutionary proclama tions, or who shall not . at once inform the nearest authorities of the formation of rebellious bands, or of preparations tending to insurrection, or who shall in any way afford the rebellion aid, sympathy, or assistance. This order is to be communicated with out delay to the peasants, recommending their ob servance of the strictest vigilance that no revolu tionary assemblages, meetings, or preparations for rebellion take place in their communities or upon the boundaries. " 14. The real and money property of all persons, without distinction of position, who have sworn allegiance to the insurgent Government, or have taken any part in the rebellion, whether by the supply of money or other materials, whether by the distribution of revolutionary proclamations,whether by a generally marked hostile and rebellious ten dency to overturn the authority of the Government, shall be immediately placed under sequestration. The Governors are strictly ordered to carry out this decree in the severest manner and without the slightest delay. Supplies of grain or food found upon the sequestrated estates are to be immediately distributed among the troops and the militia; other materials and goods shall be immediately sold, and the product devoted to the same purpose. Similarly all revenues resulting from such estates shall be applied to cover the costs occasioned by the sup pression of the insurrection. " 15. In the circles of the governments of W itepak and Mohilew, which are not included in the ukase of the Senate of the Ist of March last, the property of persons belonging to the above category shall be likewise sequestrated, and their revenues be taken possession of by the Government. Further, upon such estates the peasants who, in conformity with the ukase of the Senate of June 27, 1862, are in a transition state of emancipation shall be at liberty to pass at once from the payment of serf dues to the payment of rent, without further agreement with the proprietor ; such rent, similarly to all other revenue, laut not being handed over to the proprie tor, but deposited in the hands of the Provisional Government until its ultimate disposal is decided on. Should the emancipation have been already com pleted upon such sequestrated estates, the rent due is to be disposed of in a similar way. " 16. The police authorities in towns and districts are, together with their officials, to consider them selves under the immediate control of the Com mander-in-Chief and the sub-military commanders. The Civil Governors, in conjunction with the Com - manders-in-Chief of the different governments, will unite their exertions to suppress the insurrection, and will apply the severest and harshest measures to attain this end. In a word, the Governors and military commanders will co-operate and see that all orders are strictly carried out, without showing the slightest consideration or mercy to the offenders, and that the insurrection may not only be crushed out by the application of the severest punishments, but also that such measures may be adopted as are calculated to prevent any further insurrectionary preparations. " 17. The district military commanders will im mediately arrest all rural and town police officials, rangers, forest keepers, and other persons in the service of the State who have not given proof of positive loyalty, and who may have rendered more or less assistance to the insurgents, or not have joined the general movement of officials and troops f insurrection. The Go vernors suppressionwwill, after of the having proved their guilt, re move such persons from office and deliver them over °err the o rs to the courts-martial as doubly guilty, inasmuch as they have twice broken their oath by not only fail ing to oppose the insurgents, as was their daty, but by joining them. In like manner, all those officials must be considered as perjured and doubly criminal who have openly taken part in the insurrection. No distinction must be made as to nationality, as such a distinction could not be permitted, inasmuch as all inhabitants of Russia, whatever religion they may profess, are Russian subjects, and subjects of the same monarch, and equally responsible for any violation of their oath of allegiance. According to this rule all persons must be delivered over to the courts-martial who, being in the service of the State, knowingly suffer to take place in the posts and localities intrusted to them insurrectionary con spiracies, armaments, or preparation for the forma tion of insurrectionary bands, and who have not taken timely and proper measures to oppose such undertakings, or given the higher authorities no in formation concerning them. Explanations to the effect that they had omitted making such announce ment from family considerations, or because they were endangered by the threats of the insurgents, shall not be held to justify their conduct. " 18. The ranger and his subordinate officers are likewise under the immediate control of the district military commanders. It will be the duty of the Forest Guards to keep their respective circles clear of marauders, and to disperse any small isolated bands of insurgents. Should, however, any con siderable insurgent corps make its appearance the Foresters are at once to report the circumstance to the nearest military detachment, and to assist in the extermination of the corps in question. Such officers or subordinate officials of the Forest Guards who may give cause for suspicion as to their loyalty, or who may not have been sufficiently active in the discharge of their duties, shall be treated as insur gents and tried by court-martial accordingly. It will be at the discretion of the officer in command of the troops, should he deem .it necessary, to with draw the Forest police altogether, and to incorporate it with his own forces. " 19. The Civil Governors will issue proper orders to the local authorities throughout the provinces to insure the protection of small detachments, and to provide them with quarters and rations. If on the estates of those proprietors who are taking part more or less in the insurrection there is a store of provisions whence the insurgents draw supplies, such estates must bear all expenses incurred by the military in suppressing the insurrection. Rye, oats, and other produce found on these estates must im mediately be taken for the rations of the troops, while the horses and vehicle s will be used for tran sport. The commanders of troops are bound to give an exact account of the produce they may have taken from these estates. "The General of Infantry, MOURAVIEFF 11. " Wilna, May 27 (June 8), 1863." A TREASURE OF A CAT," W e have a black Tom," says a writer in the Athenceum, " which in connection with our domestic service, ate 21bs. of ramp steak when it was only a kitten of 19 ounces, and which, in the same connection, has since then smoked cabanas, broken bottles and lapped up claret, carried off kid gloves to unknown fairy tabbies, and burned or mislaid papers of a confidential Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Yesterday being the anniversary of her Majesty's coronation the Royal standard was hoisted at the dockyard, Portsmouth, over all the public buildings, and on all the salient points of the fortifications; the flagship of the Commander-in-Chief (the Victory), with all others of her Majesty's ships in commission at the port, being each dressed under its own arch of colour. At 1 p.m. a Royal salute of 21 guns was fired by her Majesty's ship Victory and',by the salut ing battery on the King's Bastion of the garrison. To-day will be observed as a general holiday in the town, the dockyard, and all the public establish ments. The event was celebrated in a similar man ner at the other dockyards. The Lyra, 9, screw corvette, under repairs in dock at Portsmouth, is ordered to be completed by the shipwright department by the 9th of July, and is to be brought forward for immediate commission. The Bulldog, 5, paddle steamer, is completing her ma chinery in the steam basin for immediate commis sion, and the %Vasp, screw corvette, under exten sive repairs in dock, is being hurried forward as rapidly as possible for commission. The Industry, screw store ship, Master-Com mander E. C. L. Youel, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Ascension, with stores and a few naval invalids. She sailed from Ascension May 23, and called in at St. Vincent June 6. She left Spit head yesterday afternoon for Woolwich. THE ARMY. The hired troopship Cospatrick, Jas. A. Elmslie commander, arrived at Spithead from Kurrachee on Saturday, having on board 170 invalids and 160 time-expired men of her Majesty's 7th, 71st, 79th, 81st, 93d, 98th, and 7th Dragoon Guards and Royal Artillery, 20 women, and 39 children. Five deaths and three births occurred on the passage. The officers on board consist of Capt. M'Donald, 79th Highlanders, in command of the troops; Captain Hamilton, 98th Regiment, wife, two children, and servant ; Lieut. Clay, 79th Highlanders ; Lieut. Harrison, 7th Fusileers ; Assist.-Surg. Cameron ; Lieut. Nixon, wife, and three children ; Mrs. Major Campbell, Miss Campbell;and three Masters and servant; and nine steerage passengers. The Cospatrick sailed from Kurrachee on the 7th of March and from St. Helena 17th of May. The following ships were spoken on the passage :—The British bark Egman, from Shanghai for London, lat. 28 S. long. 48 E., April 18 ; the British ship Uncas, from Bombay for Liverpool, 46 days out, lat. 29 S. long. 45 E., April 19; the Mars, from Cal cutta for St. Croix, 60 days out, lat. 35 S. long. 20 E., May 3 ; the Armada, for Calcutta, 66 days out, lat. 35 S. long. 20 E., May 3 ; the British ship, Morning Star, from Bombay for Liverpool, 120 days out, lat. 46 N. long. 17 W., June 21; and the bark Lady Alice, lat 49 N. long 5 W., June 25. The troops were landed on Saturday, and the invalids forwarded to Netley Hospital. The time-expired men were sent to the depots of their regiments. The Cospatrick sailed afterwards for the Thames. The Orontes, screw troopship, Captain H. W. Hire, will embark at Portsmouth the 92d Regi ment (Gordon Highlanders), for conveyance to Edinburgh, and take on from the Firth of Forth the 25th Regiment to Madras. On her return to Eng land the Orontes will undergo considerable altera tions in her internal fittings, similar to those now being carried out in the screw troopship Tamar, which will enable her to carry a larger number of troops than she does at present. These alterations will give her ample accommodation for carrying a regileettt at its full strength in a similar manner to the Himalaya. CRYSTAL PALACE. The annual rose show at the Crystal Palace took place on Saturday, and was certainly as successful as could be desired. The roses were numerous and beautiful, and included amongst them many new varieties, and every kind of known class and colour was well represented. The roses were arranged down the north nave, and certainly no place is more suitable than this for any exhibition of the kind, the flowers themselves, as well as the company, being thoroughly protected from the weather should it be unfavourable. Fortunately, on Satur day it was exceedingly fine, and the elegant sum mer dresses of the ladies who thronged the Palace, added to the beauty of the flowers, together com bined to make the scene truly a charming one. Perhaps amongst the exhibitors the roses from Mr. Turner's Royal Nursery at Slough attracted, and justly so, the greatest attention. There were also some very excellent calceolarias. As is customary on such occasions, several articles more or less connected either with the growth or preservation of flowers were shown. Prominent amongst them were the Paragon flower-trays, made by Mr. Geo. Weeks, of Bromley, which are so constructed that growing plants and cut flowers may be combined, and a very beautiful effect pro duced. In addition to their other advantages they have the great one of being cheap. During the afternoon there was a dramatic per formance, consisting of the Haymarket farce of " Fitzsmythe of Fitzsmythe Hall," in which Miss Fanny Wright, Mrs. Wilkins, Messrs. Buckstone, W. Farren, Rogers, and Master Fielder sustained the principal characters, and succeeded in keeping the audience heartily amused throughout the per formance. The company lingered about the Palace till a late hour, occasionally refreshing themselves with ices and other light delicacies, while a large number resorted to the beautiful dining saloon in the south wing, where an elegant cold lollation was provided for their delectation by Mr. Strange. The chief prizes awarded to exhibitors of roses were as follow : GROWERS, FORSALE.—CLASS 1.-96 varieties, one truss of each—First prize, £7, Mr. James Mitchell, nurseryman, Piltdown, Maresfield, Sussex ; second, £5, Mr. C.

The public inauguration of the statue of the late Lord Herbert, of Lea, took place to-day in tho city of Salisbury. DELICATE CURIOSITY.—The Bailli de Ferrette was always dressed in knee-breeches, with a cocked hat and a court sword, the slender proportions of which greatly resembled those of his legs. "Do tell me, my dear Bailli," said Montrond one day, "have you got three legs or three swords I" STAMPED __bd. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS, SOUTHAMPTON, June 28. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Shannon, Captain Abbott, with the above mails, has arrived. She brings 248 passengers, amongst whom are his Excellency Governor Birch, from Santa Cruz; Sir F. Blakewood and Dr. Brown, R.R., from Panama; Lieut. Swinton, R.N., from Vera Cruz, and Dr. Lockhart, R.N., from Jamaica. The Shannon brings on freight, specie Yalu £793,611 sterling, of which amount £247,844 is gold bullion, £3,513 gold coin, £210,533 silver bullion, £331,721 silver coin, also pearls, £l2O, and jewellery value £l7O. The cargo consists of 501 scrons cochineal, 3 serons indigo, 179 serous jalap, 360 cases cigars, 320 bales tobacco, 66 casks coffee, 43 tierces ditto, 92 bales sarsaparilla, 71 casks ginger, 7 packages vanilla, 687 bales bark, 96 bales indiarubber, and 219 packages sundries. Dates by this arrival are—Vera Cruz, Ist ; Tam pico, May 28 ; Havana, June 6 ; Santa Martha, 28 ; Carthagena, 2 ; Jamaica, 9 ; Porto Rico, 12 ; Deme rara, 8; Tobago, 9 ; Trinidad, 8; Barbadoes, 11; Grenada, 9 ; St. Lucia, 10 ; Martinique, 12 ; An tigua.-124 St. Kitts, 13; and St. Thomas, 14. The Shannon sailed from St. Thomas at 6 p.m. on the 14th, and experienced fine weather through out the passage. At 11.50 p.m. on the day of sailing she came in collision with the brig Mercedes, belonging to Majorca, bound from the Canaries to Porto Rico with a cargo of oil and wine ; the brig sank in 15 minutes after the collision. The crew were all saved. Intelligence from Vera Cruz to the Ist instant states that the French, at the taking of Puebla, captured 30,000 prisoners, also 1,500 Mexican officers and generals, which latter had been sent to Martinique. It was rumoured at Vera Cruz that the Mexican Government bad already quitted the city of Mexico, and that the French were pushing forward their operations with much vigour. The Barbadoes Legislature met on the 26th ult, and on the 9th inst. With the exception of a bill passed to continue in force for a period of twelve month, the Rum Act, just about to expire, the pro ceedings were unimportant. Intelligence from Jamaica says the reduction of the duties on sugar is still occupying the attention of the colonies, but no simultaneous action has been taken. Preparatory to the next meeting of Parliament it is contemplated that a united remonstrance and appeal will be forwarded, praying for a remission of the duties. The officers and men of her Majesty's steamer Ariadne, lying at Jamaica, had contributed the sum of £lOO towards the relief of the distressed Lanca shire operatives. The cotton planting experiment was progressing with every prospect of success, and the expediency of introducing into the island some of the distressed Lancashire operatives was under discussion, it being considered desirable to increase the white popula tion in Jamaica. The island was visited on the sth by a severe shock of an earthquake. It was of short duration. The shack was accompanied by a hollow rumbling sound, unusually loud and terrific. The undula tions appeared to proceed from the south-east. The British brigantine Appoline, from Baltimore, bound to Trinidad de Cuba, was wrecked on the 20th ult. on Indiana Point (Coast Cuba), captain, crew, and part of the cargo were saved. The crew were taken frcm the wreck by a schooner from the Caymanas. They fell in with her Majesty's ship Landrail, who landed them at Jamaica on the 31st. Her Majesty's steamer Ariadne was to leave Ja maica on the 9th with the 4th West Indian Regi ment, and to proceed immediately for Lagos, Africa, to join the 3d West India Regiment, now engaged in war with the King of Ashantee. Business at Jamaica continued extremely dull. There had been no meeting of the Demerara Court of Policy since the last mail. _ _ The birthday of the Queen was celebrated on the 28th ult. as a general holiday, and a grand ball was given by his Excellency Governor Hincks, in commemoration of the occasion. In the market stocks of all kinds were much re• duced, and prices considerably advanced. Tonnage in the harbour was fully equal to the demand, but the rainy season having set in, manufacturing ope rations on the sugar estates would necessarily be interrupted, and during its continuance little em ployment for shipping. Freights, however, were firm, at previous rates. Trade continued exces sively dull, and without prospect of material im provement. AN EDINBURGH SCANDAL. We alluded lately to a disgraceful circumstance, in which a .military officer of high rank, resident in this city, was the chief actor ; and, as the affair has been, by a recent circumstance, again brought before the public, we need have no hesita tion in stating what we know about it, but without, in the meantime, giving any names. As we stated before, the persons inculpated are a married mili tary officer of some standing and an unmarried lady of great personal attractions, the daughter, it is said, of a gentleman who held a situation as tutor in a family in the north of Scotland, and who married his employer's widow. The particulars of the faux pas, so far as we have been able to gather them, are as follows :—The lady of the gallant son of Mars, an attractive and accomplished woman, had, it seems, for some time back suspected her husband of being unfaithful to his marriage vow, and in order to be at rest on that point she engaged the services of a well-known detective to watch his outgoings and incomings, and also to keep an eye on the doings of the young lady, who lived in Inverleith-row. The officer (of police) had great difficulty in finding sufficient evidence, for law purposes, of the amorous propensity of the " gay son of Mars," but was at last, after a lengthened vigil, successful in his mission. Having traced the gay Lothario to a well-known garden in the Stockbridge suburbs of the city, he at once saw that the purport of his visit was to meet a lady who had preceded him on the ground, What then took place will doubtless be speedily made public, as, we ' understand, the outraged wife has placed her case in the hands of an eminent consistorial lawyer, with a view to sueing out a divorce, and notwithstanding the rumour of her having forgiven the naughty colonel, and condoned his offence, the case for a sepa ration will go on. Ia the meantime a near relative —in fact, the stepbrother of the young lady, who holds an important office connected with the orga nisation of our volunteers —having heard the rumours which were afloat in connection with this very flagrant case of seduction, immediately started off to England, where " the victim" of the officer is at present residing, obtained an inter view with her, and was successful in persuading her to give up a couple of letters which she had received from her seducer, one signed and the other without a signature. Armed with these, and accompanied with some friends, cue a general of the army, an other a major of volunteers, and a well known phi lt a u n r t d h a r y o pl last c a t b t a u r o t h n e e t Newof t h c i s l ucbi in p he n. r t e e p es a . i s r t e r d ee o t, n a S n ad ' at once sent for the deli n quent. Upon his arrival he was shown the letters, and after some hesitation, acknowledged their authorship , whereupon the valiant volunteer officer Foceeded to administer to him an exceedingly sound thrash ing, accompanied b some indignities that the " gallant" gentleman will not soon forget. Daring the scuffle the colonel contrived to burn the letters. It is rumoured that since then the officer has been ordered under arrest. As the whole affair will so speedily come before the Divorce Court, we do not require at present to say any more about it.— orth Briton. a ~~~~~ THE CIVIL BERVW In`dia Office—Mr. Horatio George Wkiele iiis been appointed a clerk in London.

RAILWAY EXTENSION. An inspection of that portion of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway between Horne hill and the Beckenham junction took place on Saturday, preparatory to its being opened for public traffic on Wednesday next. 1 his line will then be, for the first time, in possession of the through line running over their own property, between the two terminal stations, London and Dover. The Dulwich station of this line is situated about a mile from Herne-hill, and about two miles from the latter place will be the temporary depot for the Crystal Palace, and which will be used until the opening of the Crystal Palace and South London Railway in the beginning of 1865. This station, although three quarters of a mile from the entrance to the Palace, will be a great convenience to the inhabitants of Camberwell, Brix ton, Clapham, &c., who hitherto have had no ready means of access to Sydenham. The line passes through the Syd en ham tunnel, which is 2,200 yards long. On account of the treacherous nature of the London clay, through which it is driven, it has been found necessary to arch it in several places with 12 layers of brick, eight layers being the minimum in any part. The total number of bricks used in its construction is 32,000,000, or 10,000,090 more than are contained in the whole Exhibition building. At its southern end the nine main lines of the Brighton and South Eastern are crossed, but during the whole of the work no interruption of their traffic took place. Just beyond this spot is the Penge sta tion, and about a mile further on the junction with the main line to Dover is reached. The distance from Victoria station to Beckenham by the new line will be 84 miles in stead of 111 by the present route, and from Beckenham to the Elephant and Castle the distance will be 74 miles. Al though there will be a saving of three miles on the whole distance, and the gradients are much easier than those on the West-end and Crystal Palace Railway, the company will not lessen the time in which trains run from London to Dover until the new line is per f ec tly consolidated. Herne-hill will be the junction station for all the London, Chatham, and Dover through trains. Those coming from the Elephant and Castle will be united, and the up trains will be separated at this station. Colonel Yolland inspects the line to-day. CAPTAIN GRANT.—Captain Grant, of Nairn, who recently arrived in England, along with his fellow explorer, Captain Speke, will no doubt soon rejoin his i mother and other near relatives at Ding wall, and t may be reasonably expected that he will not omit to revisit his native place, where his youthful lif e so much endeared him to rich and poor. In such a case it will be for the people of Nairn to evince, in some special manner, their apprecia tion of his services to his countrymen, and to show the pride with which they regard him as a fellow-tewnsmen. While it is gratifying to hear that his health has not suffered from his trying travels, we regret to learn that he is still annoyed with pains caused by the wounds he had received at the siege of Lucknow.—Nairn lelegraph. THE ADVENTURES OF AN EAGLE IN SEARCH OF PREY.—A few days ago, while several dogs and a lot of ravens were enjoying a feast on the carcass of a horse en d fi th n e e r l a a v r e g n e s ea fi g e l w e, e a w t a w y, o e s n e e a o p f h p t e h a r e a I n a c t at Braehour, they were suddenly dist ur b ed by the presence d ete the dogs t r d roygins The carrying raves ran e o n being unable either to separate or disgorgea portion of the entrails, part b e i ng swallo off e m e o e u n th af . te T r h s e u e c a ce g e l d e e o d bs in erv se in izgin w her booty, she had to fly away with a b out half a yard dangling from ' her and in draggi ng b oth it and the raven to the groun d, on reaching which h e struck and kill e d the raven, and soon e ga nd v o e f e t h h a e s e Pie piece, and tghihs'oldo ins t antly the after madd a meal of it and the carrion, returning towards the carcass. In the meantime, however, two of the dogs had returned, and possession being nine points of the law, ihey growled defiance at the invader, and prepared to de fend their rights. The eagle, bent on obtaining possession, for a short time hoveNd near the spot, and suddenly de scending gave the dog s two blows with its wings and ex pelled them. It fed fo r a short time, ani then flew off with a large piece of carr ion, which it deposited on a distant emi nence, t h er eafter descending into the neighbouri ng l oc h, and enjoying a bath with evident relish. Thi s , h owever, did not finish the eagle's adventures of the day. After slowly rising out of the loch, it descended upon a flock of sheep a nd lambs, and carried offin its talons a young lamb from the stock of Mr. Gunn, Braehour, disappearing on the top of Dorrery. Mr. Gunn, having observ e d th e th e ft, gav e chase, accompanied, strange to say, by the ewe whose lamb had been taken away. Whether the mother had ob served the direction the eagle took, or merely followed Mr. Gunn after being deprived of its lamb, it is impossible to say, but it is certainly singular that she should have at once, without invitation, accompanied him in the chase after her young one. On arriving at the top of Dorrery, the eagle was observed resting, while the lamb was skip ping about uninjured. The eagle maintained its position till Mr. Gunn was within 50 yards of it, when it took its flight ; and Mr. Gunn, with the ewe and lamb, returned to Braehour, the lamb being none the worse for its aerial voyage in the talons of the eaglet-2YorthernEnsign.
