Ge ntlemen,—\Ve much regret to inform you that in the crest of our creditors generally we have decided to 5115- 54 Payment. The inability of many of our buyers to ' e t their engagements, and the extreme depreciation in 5 valu9 of securities upon which we have advanced . e l 3', has mainly influenced us in adopting this course. ° l a guntil very lately possessed a considerable surplus, we ' le v() that if our estate is judiciously realised it will prove 41.1 Y, if not quite, sufficient to enable us eventually to pay our liabilities in full.

Consols, Money Do Account The Gold Diggings in Vancouver's Island, The steamer A l exandria arrived last evening from Sooke, and was the happy bearer of the most gladsome intelligence to ail interested in the future of this country which it has yet been our good fortune to piece before our readers. No sooner had the steamer hauled alongside than the announce ment flew round of a 70 dollar nugget being on board, and that good diggings had been struck on Leech river, This splendid specimen of gold ap pears to be entirely pure. It is of an oval shape with a smooth surface, and about the size of a small hen's egg. Oa being weighed it was declared to contain 4oz. 6dwts., or 73 dollars 20 cents. On Saturday last four men, named Samuel Booth, George Munro, John Tyril, and William Dyer, call.. ing themselves the " Industry Company," left Vic toria by the Enterprise, and reached the Forks of Sooke and Leech rivers on Monday at noon, They proceeded by mistake to the Lake s whence the Suoke river takes its rise, and returned to the Forks, camping that night about half a mile up Leech river. On Tuesday morning early, Booth and Alunro started up the creek to prospect. They went up about three miles, until they reached a steep canyon, through which the water rushed with great rapidity, and, finding it difficult to get through, they retraced their steps t.o the camp. Hearing that good prospects were obtained close by, they then prospected the right bank of the river, about a mile from the Forks. A pick was struck into the slate rock on the right bank, and, at about the depth of six inches, they struck a magnificent oval shaped nugget of pure gold, comiuted to be of the value of 75 doll. Munro hastened back with the miner's licensee, to his companions, Tyril and Dyer, who were left in charge, and, during his absence (about an hour and a hall), they had washed out about 15 dols:more of the same coarse gold. Munro and Booth then Lurried down Sooke river to come to Victoria for provisions.—Briiish Colonist (Vic. toria. August 4.) GENTIO.T , ROSECTANZ AND TUE LADIES.—In tt special order issued lately from Missouri head -quarters, General Rosecranz intimates that he has got possession of the letters of some young ladies, and states what he intends to do wish them : —" The letters of Miss Bryant and Miss Mayfidd will be published to warn thoughtful parents and teachers, whether Christian or not, of the tearful downward course of the youth of our Etate, when educated girls of respectable parents write such letters, and express sympa thy wiih cutlaws, thieves, end murderers, more degraded than the savages who murder the inhabitants of our fron tier settlements," 12 18 ►aHARE MARKETS—This day.

MARLI3ORO U GII-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT AT TILE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUB.—William Steele, head smoking room waiter at the Junior United Service Club, appeared before Mr Tyrwhitt to answer a summons charging him with embczzlng the sum of V, the money of the trustees of the club. Mr Lewis, senior, cf E!y-place, prosecuted, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended. The case was first before Mr Tyrwhitt a few days ago, and the str:et facts are as follows—The prisoner had been four years in the service of the club, and about six months ago was raised to the pos 4 tion of head smoking.room waiter. It was the custom of the club to deliver to the prisoner a number of cigars weekly, as it was the prisoner's duty at the end of the week to render an account of his sales and pay over the money ho had received. On the 4'h inst. he was called upon to render an account, and then it was discovered that he was deficient to the extent mentioned abova. The prisoner was then discharged from the club, and subsequently the present proceedings were taken. On the late occasion Mr Edward Lewis contended that no felonious intention had been made out against the pri soner. It was true the prisoner was at the moment defi cient a few pounds, but he had always been and was then prepared to pay the deficiency, and it was hard that the club—the prisoner having served it faithfully for four years —should take these harsh proceedings. Mr Tyrwhitt said he did not think a jury would convict, but if Mr Lewis, sen., pressed for a committal, ho did not think ho could withdraw the case from a jury. lie would adjourn the case to give Mr Lewis, sea., time to consult with his clients. The prisoner wss liberated on his own recognisanees and on again appearing, Mr Lewis, EOM, said the club, having a large number of servants in their employ (above 80), were determined to prosecute. Mr E. Lewis said that, in order that there might be no mistake, ho wiEhcd to reiterate his &sr to pay the club the prisoner's deficiency. The prisoner was committed for trial, bail being accepted. DISORDERLY GENTLEMEN —Mr Christopher Matley, staying at Kinnon's Hotel, Cheapsido, gentleman, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being drunk, and behav ing in a disorderly manner in Piccadilly. Samuel Y.s, 316 A , said that about 8 last night he saw the defendant, who was very drunk, committing a nuisance against the door of No. 223, Piccadilly, and afterwards try ing to force hi 3 way into the house. A gentleman at the house requested the defendant to go away, and as he re• fused to do so, swearing that he would go into the house and get a mob round the door, he took him into custody. The defendant was fined 10s. I(1 1001 51r Wm. Vine Cuffe, of 22, Duke-street, St. James's, gentleman, was charged with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly wanner in St. James's-street. Norrish Pike, 51 C, said that about half-past three that morning he saw the defendant at the corner cf St. James's street, Haymaikot, with soveral Prostitutes, As the do fendant was drunk and refused to go away, he was coin pelted to take him into custody. 29 I Fined ss. 64 i TIIAMES. OUTRAGE BY A LOAFER. — Thomas Canty, a tall and powerful fellow, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with violently assaulting Josiah Green. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, said the prosecutor was in the employ of Mr Hugh Campbell, carman to the Sailors' Home in Well-street, and that ho had been often interfered with in the performance of his duties by bad characters, crimps, and others interested in prLventing sailors from re ceiving the benefits of the:Sailors' Home. The prisoner was one of those fellows called "loafers," and a very drunken blackguard. It happened that the complainant had taken out a summons, on tho Surrey side of the Thames, against a man named B ill, who could not be found for assaulting him. Yesterday evening the com plainant had to bring four sailors from the Shadwell basin of tho London Dock to the Sailors' Home in a cart, He was met by the prisoner, who said, " You are the man who has taken out a summons against Bill ?" The complainant said he was, and the prisoner immediately struck him a vi.ilent blow on the eye, and knocked him down, The pri soner was very drunk and abusive, and was immediate]) taken into custody. Mr Partridge—What is a loafer ? Mr C. Young—A touter, and one who sponges on sailors or knocks them about for the crimps of necessity. The complainant, who had received a severe bruise, con firmed the st,temeat of his solicitor. Daniel Smith, a Thames police-constable, No. 79, sau the outrage, and corroborated the evidence of Green. The prisoner was a regular loafer. The prisoner, in a whining tone, said he was very sorry for what he had done, and that he was tipsy yesterday. Ho worked at any kind of labour. Mr Parridge—You have committed a very savage assault, without any provocation at all. You aro sen tenced to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour, SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE AND FEMALE EDUCATTON.—The Vice-Chancellor of the Univer sity of Cambridge has received the following memorial: — "To the Vice-Chancellor and the Senate of the University of the Cambridge.--Gentlemen,—As being officially en gaged in or connected with female education, we beg re spectfully to call your attention to the existing want of some publicly recognised examination for girls. Wo believe that this want could in no way be better supplied than by the extension to girls of the University local examinations. The representations by which the Universities were in duced to accord these advantages to boys apply with at least equal force to girls, and it appears to us that no valid ob jection can be urged against the admission of girls to sitnilhr benefits. We venture, therefore, earnestly to request that you will be pleased to give your sanction to a measure by which the usefulness of the scheme for local examinations may be largely extended." The memorial has received 999 signatures from the mistresses of schools and others engaged in teach;ng girls, and its prayer is supported by 102 names, among which are those of the Earl of Clarendon, Lords Brougham. Lyttelton, and Wrottesley, the Bishop of St. Davids, Sir J. G. Shaw- Lefevre, Sir 13, Ryan, the Deans of Canterbury and Durham, Dr Aeland, Mr G. Grote, and other noblemen, gentlemen. and ladies well known for the interest they take in matters connected with education. The authorities of the University have not proposed to the Senate any immediate action with reference to this memorial, but it is probable that a Syndicate will be appointed to con sider the subject cfit. SHERIFF'S ENTERTAINMENT. Last evening the newly appointed Sheriffs of the City of London, Mr. Alderman Dakin and Mr. Alderman Bealey, entertained about 300 of the principal citizens and members of the corporation at dinner at the London Tavern. The company included Mr Crawford, Mr Goschen, two of the representatives of the city of London in Parliament, Sir John Grant, Mr Tite, M.P., Mr Gilpin, M.P., Colonel Evelyn, Mr R. W. Kennard, M.P., Mr Norris, M.P. , Alderman Sir Francis Moon, Alderman Sir Robert Carden, Alderman Rose, M.P., Alderman Sidney, M.P., and many other members of the Court of Aldermen; Mr Henry Pow nall, chairman of the Middlesex magistrates; Mr Thwaites, President of the Metropolitan Board of Works; Lieutenant. Colonel \Verde, Mr Marmaduke Sampson ; Mr J. Sp . cer, Blaster of the Fishmongers Company; and Mr. White, Master of the Spectaclemakers' Company. There were also present Mr Chambers, the Common - sergeant ; Mr Corry, the Rernembrancee ; Mr Woodtherpe, the Town Clerk; Mr S.condery Potter; Mr Chaplin, chairman of the City Lands Committee; Mr John Sewell, clerk of the chamber, Mr Deputy Fry, Mr Deputy Charles Reed, Mr Deput3 Lett, and Mr Henry Lowman Taylor, among other members and officers of the corporation. The Sheriffs, of course, presided at the entertainment, which was a very sumptuous one, and the Under-Sheriff, (Mr S3ptimus Davidson and Mr Deputy De Jersey) acted as vice-chairmen. It is some years since two aldermen filled the office of sheriff of London and Middlesex at the same time, and additional dignity is supposed to be imparted to it by that cir cumstance. The office is one of great antiquity, dating es it does from the time of William the Conqueror, and it has been an object of ambition among the principal citizens of all times. No man is presumed to hold it, by an ordi nance of the Corporation, who has not property or money to the amount of £15,000 or £20,000, and he is obliged to enter into recognisances to the amount of £l,OOO for: the due execution of the duties. A man who is elected to the office and declines to undertake it renders himself liable to a large pecuniary fine, and there have been some who in the pleni tude of their wealth have paid the penalty rather than assume the attendant responsibility and cost. The office imposes on the holders a very considerable amount of ex penditure in the way of hospitality and charity. For example, the Sheriffs for the time being have to bear a moiety of the cost of the great entertainment in the Guild hall on Lord Mayor's day, which usually amounts to L. 1,000 or £3,000. They take a conspicuous part in all civic pageants and processions, and, with the Lord Mayor, in escorting the judges to the Central Criminal Court from time to time. Until recent years they were formally pre sented, with much ceremony, on their appointment to office to the Cursitor-Baron of the Court of Exchequer in West minster-hall, but of late the custom has fallen into desue tude, and their election is now officially recognised in the pt ivate office of the Qaeen's Remembrancer. On the removal of the cloth last evening a few toasts were given, but they were chiefly of a civic and complimentary character, and the speeches by which they were prefaced had little or no interest. In the course of the evening Madame Wein, Mr Whytock, Mr Carter, and Mr Chaplin Henry sang at intervals, under the direction of Mr Hatton, and the com pany separated about 11 o'clock. Glasgow Cathedral Windowii, On Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the subscribers to the Glasgow Cathedral windows was held in the choir of the cathedral, for the purpose of handing over the series of painted windows now completed to the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works. Amongst those present were the Lord Provost and magistrates of the city, the Duke of Mon trose, Lord Belhaven, the Right Hon. William Cowper, M.P., First Commissioner of her Majes'y's Works, Mr W. Buchanan, M.P., Mr -Stirling, of Keir, M.P., Mr Peter Blackburn, M.P., Sir Andrew Orr, Sheriff Sir Archibald Alison, and other influential gentlemen connected with the district. The Lord Provost having tapes the chair, Sir A Orr read an address to the First Commissioner, setting forth the character and extent of the work which the subscribers had been enabled to effect. The document set out by stating that, on the 4th of September, 1856, the subscribers pledged themselves "to unite in promoting the adop tion of an harmonious plan of decoration suitable to the character cf the building, and worthy of the purity and dignity of its architecture." In detailing the steps taken in the carrying out of this object, the address proceeded : " The first painted window erected in the nave of this church was the great west window; it was formally inaugu• rated upon the 16th of November, 1859. The Government window was erected in the month of Juno, 1862. Other 44 painted windows, of different sizes and proportions, consti tuting the whole series of 46, have been executed and placed, the last being completed on the 3d of the present month, Besides those examined under the direction of the commit 'we, 36 have been placed in the Chapter-house and crypts. The first of these arrived in this country from Dresden in April, 1859, making, with those in the church, 81 painted windows presented within the last eight years. Twelve more are in course of execution, and two others have been allocated." As to what yet remains to be done, it was sub mitted that the filling in of the clerestory windows with painted glass was obviously desirable. Some progress was sated to have been made in this direction by the generosity of several ladies and gentlemen, and the subscribers' com mittee expressed their ardent hope that the object would be accomplished. Mr Cowper, in replying to the address, sai he had great satisfaction, in his capacity of First Commis sioner of her Majesty's Works, in receiving the custody of the precious gift which the subscribers to the windows had made to the Queen and the naticn. He went on to say, " This is in many respects a great era in the history of glass-painting. I cannot sufficiently commend the good judgment of the committee in having determined that they would put the best art that they could find in this building, wherever they might go to seek it. Some persons might think thet it was unpatriotic to prefer foreign art to native art, btr. a moment's reflection will show that such an idea is entirely without foundation. The object is to get high art, and the best art. Now, it happens that in our own country artists of great skill end great genius are not accustomed to employ themselves in designing painted glass, but in Munich there is a school of painters who have practised themselves in fresco painting, who are well acquainted with monumental art, and who are in close juxtaposition with a glass manu factory, so that with them coloured glass is not as it is with us, mainly a manufacture, or mainly a reproduction of minds of a former period, but it is a walk of art, a school of art, and a production of very high and great merit. Now, it is much better for the glass artists of our own land that they should have put before them, as is done in this build. examples that can be found of the excell ence at which es h h t i h g e h ys t houldaim. It would have been no advantage to them to put inferior glass in here, so that they could not have risen above the level to which they have already at tained. (Cheers.) It is as natural that we should go to great artists for painted glass as that the Germans should apply to us fir great engineers to make their railroads or build their bridges, and we might as well say that our National Gallery should have no great Italian or Flemish paintings as that a building which we wish to decorate as highly as we can shall not be decorated by artists who live in foreign countries. (Hear, hear.) We have in these windows around us admirable drawing, dramatic effect—we have great character, great expression—all within the limits that are proper to glass-painting. The glass here is, as I see, strictly mosaic glass. There is no attempt at making transparencies, or making pictures such as would be upon a wall or on canvass; but we see the skill and the genius of great artists brought strictly within the rules which make glass-painting a special branch of art." After dwell. ing at some length on the various points of excellence presented in the windows, Mr Cowper said that the example that had been set in Glasgow Cathedral was one that he was sure would be followed in many churches, not only in Scotland, but in Eagland. Those who were pre paring to fill the Cathedral of St. Paul's, London, with glass had carefully studied the Glasgow windows, and had seen at a glance that it would not do for the cathedral of Lon don to be behindhand with that of Glasgow. They were endeavouring to vie with the Glasgow glass by sending to the same artists and to the same manufacturer for the glass they intended to use. A vote of thanks was afterwards, on the motion of the Duke of Montrose, accorded to the com mittee of subscribers, and Sir Andrew Orr, in acknowledg , • the compliment, stated that the committee would be Lu g ' to -mantle their labours till the filling in of the whole of the wine ' hapy ws of the cathedral was completed. - ca HOMAS I. H. THUR MARRIAGE OF THE HOl4. T ....au Tuesday last dn oter of his LOW AND LADY ELMA BRUCE. the nuptials of the Lady Elms Bruce , Excellency the late Earl of Elgin, Viceroy of India, with the Hon. Thcs. J. H. Thurlow, brother of Lord Thurlow, took place at St. John's Episcopal Chapel at Forres, N.B. It was understood that the wedding was to be conducted in a very quiet manner, but owing to the fair bride being a great favourite in Morayshire , and the respect entertained for her father, more than the usual interest was manifested by the inhabitants.

The bride was attended to the altar by Miss (Jordon Cumming, Miss Nisbet Hamilton, Miss Louise Forbes, and Miss Oswald (of Dun. nikier), as bridesmaids ; and Lord Thurlow officiated as groomsman to his brother. The Right Rov. the Bishop of Biechin (cousin of the bride), assisted by-the Rev. E. Ii Owen, performed the nuptial rite.

As previously reported, the central committee of the Col liers' Strike in the Bilston district ceased to act on Saturday night, and on Monday and Tuesday mornings nearly the whole of the pits in this district were in full work. The example was to some extent followed by the men in the Tip ton and Dudley Districts, but they acted, as it afterwards appeared, without the consent of their leaders. With the exception, however, of a small meeting at Kinswinford, in the neighbourhood of Dudley, on Monday, there were no demonstrations until Wednesday. In the morning of that day a large party of men paraded the district with drums and whistles. One band congregated at the Fox-yards, Cosely, and marched through Deepfields, Ladymoor, Daisy Bank, and Tipton. They then proceeded to Bilston, They were followed by Superintendent M'erea, of the county constabulary, accompanied by a few policemen. The object of the mon was to induce those who were going to work at the pits to join them in remaining out on strike. Superin tendent a.VCrea, is is said, endeavoured by all peaceable means to point out to them the illegality of their proceed.. hags, and the consequences to which they must give rise. It is said their conduct justified him in taking some of the miners into custody and dispersing the rest. When at High fields they sought to go to the top of a pit bank where the men were preparing to descend to their work. He then drew his men across the way, and after a struggle with one of the miners who got away, dispersed them. In the Dudley district similar scenes occurred. During the day several large meetings were held of miners, both in the Tipton and Dud ley d istricts, and strong resolutions were come to to continue the strike. In the evening information was received that a determination had been adopted to interfere with the men who had a fortnight ago resumed their work at one of the Earl of Dudley's pits on the road between Dudley and Tipton, near Lipton-green. The .men had to be protected by the police going to and returning from their work. Some were conveyed in carts, accompanied by a policeman, and others were taken by the butties in their gigs. The bands assembled before daylight with drums and tin whistles. They shouted in such a way as to alarm the whole neigh.. bourhood. Complaints were made to the police authorities that such proceedings should not be allowed to go on, if peace, law, and order were to be maintained in the district. The men who had returned to work in the neighbourhood also stated that unless they were adequately protected they would leave the district, for they felt their lives to be in danger. Under these circumstances, the police authorities considered it their duty to put the law in force, and with as little violence as possible to prevent these morning meetings. Orders were given to this effect, and about 60 constables went out at 4yesterday morning. They were scattered in different directions, acme under Inspector Oswell to guard the pit of Earl Ward. A detachment, under the command of Major MiHnight, and accompanied by Inspector We've, went to the Fox-yards, where they found a large number of men on strike assembled with a band of drums and whistles, and carrying stout sticks. The police accompanied them in their march to a place called the Five-ways, near Tipton Green. There they were joined by another troop and band. They then marched through Tipton-green to the Dudley road, where they were met by a third troop and Land. The whole joined and counter-marched. There was by this time, as well as the darkness would enable the police to see, about 2,000 men,armed w ith heavy sticks,and marching with almost military steadiness four abreast. Major M'Knight remonstrated with them, as he had several times previously done. He told them their conduct was illegal, and that ho had imperative orders to stop their proceedings. They re plied that their leaders had told them to assemble in this manner, and that they would do it if they went to prison for it. It is said that the colliers were much excited and that the more desperate of them gave utterance to very violent threats. They were about to turn up the road which leads to Earl Dudley's pit, when Major M•Knight threw his men across the road. Superintendent Os well came down with his men at the same moment. One of the colliers, with an oath, ran at and kicked Superintendent Oswell, who sought to take him into custody, but he was rescued by his fellows. The police, though numbering but 25, attacked the colliers with their staves, and in a few momenta the road was clear of the mob. 19 prisoners remained in the hands of the police. They were taken to the Bilston lock-up, and the stipendiary magistrate, Mr J. Spooner, made arrangements for holding a special petty session the same afternoon. While the police were resting information was brought that about 6,000 miners, armed with sticks, who had marched at midday through Dudley Port to a miners' meeting in the neighbourhood of Dudley, and about 1,000, who had marched out of Tipton about 10 o'clock, were to return there after executing some mission the nature of which the infor mant did not know. All available assistance was imme diately despatched in the direction indicated. The 19 miners captured were charged before the sti pendiary in the afternoon with unlawfully assembling, in timidation, and conspiracy. The Earl of Lichfield, Lord Lieutenant of the county, sat upon the bench, but took no part in the proceedings. Mr Motteram, of the Ox ford circuit, instructed by Mr Travis, of West Bromwich, prosecuted, Superintendent M•Crea was the first wit ness examined, and his evidence was to the above effect. lie spoke of his unsuccessful attempts to cone vince the men of their illegal conduct, and of their deters s m o l a n e s ; t s i o w n e to r e p i d e e r n s i t s i t fi f e n d their k c i o n u g r ee. part Ti in the e w h p o r l o e e e o e f d t i h n e p ri g eby constables who were present, and wh3 produced some for midable atieks which had been taken from them at the time of their apprehension.
