Business in discount circles is still reported a ctive, with undiminished firmness in the quota tions, the supplies of money in the hands of the dealers being comparatively moderate. Abort £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the pat week are again of a satisfactory charac ter. At Manchester there has been a fair amount of buainefis in cloths and yarns, at previous prices. In the w oollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud dersfield , the principal inquiry has been for autumn an d win ter fabrics, which have changed hands to some ei ;tent. Business in the hosiery and lace departm eats at Leicester and Nottingham continued active, e aid there has been a more cheerful tone in the hardware districts—viz., at Birmingham, Shef field, an d Wolverhampton. Two O'CLOCK, At Purls this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69f. 20c. for account. Very few operations have taken place to-day in the mark et for Consols, which, however, are a little firmer at. 93a I for money, and 931 91 for the October account. There is not the slightest feature of novelty in this department of the Hon: le, nor does there appear to be the least prospect of business, notwithstanding the speculative activity of the foreign market. Transacti one have taken place in the New Threes at 924 and the Reduced Annuities 924 1; India 5 per Can ts., 1081 d ; and Exchequer Bills, par to 2s. prem. _ _ _ The most important features in the Foreign Market to-day is the decline in the Confederate Loan, upon the information by the China, and the rise in Mexican, owing to numerous purchases; the former, which has been 35 to 33 die., is now 31 to 29 discount, or 3 per cent. lower than on Friday, and the latter has advanced 11, viz., to 421.

In the Railway Share Market business has been rather inactive, and few changes of importance can be reported in prices. Great Western and Metro politan, however, have each improved about 10s., while North-Eastern (Berwick) have declined ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines generally main tain previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continued inac tive, City Bank, however, improved to 1021; Bank of Australasia to 771 ; while London and West minster declined to 781.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE —This Day. MARLBORUUGH-STREET. THE SAILOR AND THE SHAM DETECTIVE.--SINGULIR CASE.—John Stuart, of 16, West-street, St. James's, a dis charged constable of the metropolitan police force, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with deraanding to see the pass of leave of Thomas Cumming, an able-bodied seaman of her Majesty's naval barracks, Sheerness. The complainant, a good specimen of an English sailor, said, a little after 12 on Saturday night, I was having sup per at a fish shop in Crown-street, when the prisoner said I was a deserter from the royal navy, and wanted to take me into custody, at the same time stating that he was a de tective. The prisoner said he would wait tiil I had eaten my supper, and then take me. I told the prisoner to be off, or he would get into trouble, and asked the prisoner for his warrant ticket if he was a detective. The prisoner then asked to see my leave pass, and I told him that, as he had refused to let me see his ticket, I would not let him see my pass. I then spoke to a constable, and asked him if he knew the prisoner as a detective, and he said he did not, and I then gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You had a pass, and declined to show it to a person of the prisoner's description. Complainant —That was it, sir ; I felt insulted. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Have you any witnesses ? Complainant —I had two civilian-rigged, but I don't see them here now. Jacobs, 182 C, said—l saw a crowd of persons assembled, a nd an altercation between the sailor and the prisoner —the prisoner accusing the sailor of being a deserter. On asking the prisoner what business he had to take the sailor into custody, he said that he was a constable of the Essex con stabulary; but knowing he had been in the police, and dis charged, I took him into custody. Prisoner—l heard some one say the prisoner was a de serter from the Fisgard, so I thought I would keep my eye OR him till a constable came.

Woolrych and Mr. Part ridge should not follow suit, and prevent the delays, incon venience, and partial failur e of justice, occasioned by late sittings. Patrick M'Govan, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with a ssaulting George Martin, a mounted policeman, on Saturday night. The complainant was riding on horseback, in the per formance of his duty, in Bow, on Saturday at midnight, just after the houses were closed, and encountered a lot of drunk and disorderly ruffians, wh o had just left the public houses and beer-shops full of drink and mischief. They were creating a disturbance, some were fight ing, and others were shouting, h alloojig, and swear ing. Martin then requested them to go to their homes and be quiet, and on their refusal attempted to dis perse them, in which he was assisted by Louth, a dismounted police-constable, and a plain clothes man. The prisoner, who was the most noisy and savage, struck one of the con stables on foot, and then threw three large stones at the .mounted constable. Two of them struck his new helmet, and with such force as to put him to great pain and incon ums-todTyl:e prisoner was i v m e n m i e e n d a e t . e y T s h e e c u t r h e i a n s t d o ngei given missed ito h e i Mr. Woolrych commented in terms of indignation and disgust at the cowardly and infamous conduct of the pri soner, who threw stones in the dark at a public officer in the execution of his duty, and doing that duty in a firm and temperate manner. It was the act of an assassin, a das tardly act. If the head of the mounted constable had not been well protected by a helmet the blows might have pro ' duced concussion of the brain and death. He sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction.

ESCAPE OF A MAN WITH HIS THROAT CUT FROM Guy's HOSPITAL. —Early on Saturday morning great consternation prevailed at Guy's Hospital and neigh bourhood in consequence of a man named Richard Carpen ter, who lived in Webber-street, Blackfriars-road, and was admitted on Friday with his throat cut, escaping from the above hospital. It appears he was actually strapped down, yet by some means he managed to break loose from the straps, rushed out of the hospital, and got into a cab, the horse of which dashed off, the driver happening to be talking with some companions a little distance from the cab. He was pursued and captured, bat not before he had broken the windows of the cab. Ho was at once carried back to the hospital, but the authorities advised his removal to the workhouse, which was accordingly done, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS —This Day. (Before Mr. Sergeant Gazelee.) Charles Gooch, carmen, was indicted with stealing a quantity of wool, the property of.his employer. Gecrge Freeman said he was delivering foreman at St. Katherine's Dock, and on the 16th of August the prisoner came with one of the vans of Messrs. Seward for a load of wool. The wool was lowered from the warehouse into the cart beneath, and after a number had been so removed he (witness) had his attention called to something going on wrong below. He looked into the cart from above and there he saw the prisoner sitting on one of the bales pulling wool out of another and throwing it over the side of the cart into the yard; a man was picking it up as fast as he could, but when the prisoner saw he was being watched he desisted. The bag was weighed previous to its leaving the premises of the Dock Company. It was 111 b. deficient when it was delivered to its owner. Archibald Wright formally proved the weight of the bale when it left the St. Katherine's Dock. A clerk from the owners of the property said ho was sent to look after the loading of the wool, but he did not arrive until nearly the whole had been deposited in the cart. When the load was complete the prisoner drove the van off, but he (witness) observed another vehicle following Messrs. Sewards'. He then watched the prisoner as far as the Crooked Billet, Tower-hill, and saw him give another man who was in the cart a bag. He followed the person who had received the bag towards Rosemary-lane, but he missed him in the intricate thoroughfares of the neigh bourhood. He (witness) went back to the publichouse where the man who had taken the property had left his cart, and on his return he accused him of taking wool from the prisoner. He boldly denied having done so, and the prisoner said he never gave the man any bag s.t all. The man who had taken the bag when he returned had it hanging over his arm empty. Witness took the bag from him, and on examining it found in one of the corners a portion of some description of wool which had been taken from the bale. The weight of the wool stolen from the bale was about 141 b., and was worth ls, a pound. A number of witnesses gave the prisoner a good charac ter. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The learned Sergeant sentenced him to nine months' im prisonment with bard labour. A Mirage on the North-East Coast of Ireland. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) A friend at Bangor, an ancient town on the County Down side of Belfast Lough, writes to us that a most remarkable mirage occurred there a few days ago. His description of it is brief ; it will, however, interest a number of our scientific friends. He says You will be delighted to learn that I have just made a most decided acquisition of knowledge. I have seen for the first time in my life a mirage. Don't be astonished In an age like the present, when miracles and all other marvels seem to be discarded, there is room for doubt, but you will not distrust me. I was standing with some friends on the highest of Bangor's raised beaches, when in the north-east I saw most distinctly, and for a long time, on 3 of the Glasgow and Bel fast steam vessels steaming away—where ? no longer in the water—actually in the air far above the water I No mis take about it. I rubbed my eye 3 again and again, doubting whether they were not deceiving me, but they were faith ful as ever, and I had them amply corroborated by my friends. There, sure enough, was the steamer floating in air, the smooth water in which she was sailing clearly seen, and ourselves, far below, with our feet resting on the beach. The interesting sight was witnessed by us for nearly half an hour, when the insidious haze by which it was occasioned, thickened and dispelled it. The haze was so distinct as to expose to us the whole rig and outline of the steamer, and as we stood on high ground, it was low enough in the water to permit us also to see the steamer for a while along its upper surface. It was a novel and de lightful sight, the view of which would have made your heart thrill with joy." _ _ _ This is probably the first occasion on which a mirage has been noticed on the north-east coast of Ireland ; at all events, we have no recollection of any such occurrence having been recorded. The Fata Morgana, further north, all have heard or read of and many have seen ; our venerable friend will, therefore, we presume, have the satisfaction of making known his discovery to the Philosophical Society of Belfast, of which he is a member, at an early meeting. MONTALEMBERT AT MALINES.—It is 30 years since M. de Montalembert first began to preach the doctrine of a free Church in a free State. He has never swerved from it, and has always advocated it as the sole remedy for the disorders of Europe and the turmoils of Christendom. In practice, he has not, perhaps, always acted up to his theory. But every statesman is at times in consistent ; and if ever a statesman had an idea to which he clung firmly, and in spite of disappointment and failure, M. de Montalembert has clung to the idea with which his name is now indissolubly associated. It must be owned that his experience cannot have been very sweet to bear. He has not seen much in his days either of a free State or a free Church. The Constitutional Monarchy, under which he first began to speak and write, has been replaced by a system which he employed every resource of a prac tised speaker to paint, at Malines, in the blackest colours. Ho has been reduced to thank heaven that he, a French man, is occasionally permitted to breathe a little of the pure air of liberty in Belgium. Nor can the retrospect of the history of the Church in his days be much more satisfactory to him. He has lived to see the Church prostrate itself at the foot of the man who has, as he thinks, enslaved, de graded, and demoralized France. Personally, he has lived to see the day when, in the hour of danger, and at the crisis of the contest which threatens to affect so powerfully the interests of Catholicism, he—the champion and orator of the Church --has been kept from public life by the influ• ence of a Catholic Bishop. M. de Montalembert under- takes to convince the Catholic world that its true policy is to strive for political liberty, and to give up all wish to trust to the secular arm for the prevention of error. He will not have civil liberty without religious, nor religious liberty witheut civil, He hates the French police, and the servility of modern Ca3sarism; and he also hates the fires of the Inqui sition, and every attempt to put down honest error. Local independence, no Caesars, no police, a honest sovereign people--and, on the other hand, a Church submissively accepting every doctrine and every tittle of every canon, but willing to walk side by side peaceably and humbly with all manner of heretics, insisting that they shall have fair play, and that the State shall neither help the Church nor its opponents—such is the stuff of which M. de Montalem bert's dreams are made.—Saturday .Review. DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES, IN MANCHESTER.—The body of a man named Thomas Allcock was found about mid •day, yesterday, under very singular and suspicious circumstances. The deceased was 67 years of age, of very quiet and regular habits. He had lived alone for some time, in a cellar in Bank-street, Lees street, Great Ancoats-street, and at the time of his death was receiving relief. He was seen for the last time about half-past seven on Saturday evening, standing at his door. About half-past two yesterday afternoon, his sister Ellen Rumber, Dean-street, Ancoats, went to the cellar to see him. The door was :partially open. On entering the cellar she found the deceased lying in bed, dead, with five or six circular marks on his forehead, as if the flesh had been pinched out or cut out with a knife. Informa tion was given to the police, and the assistant to Mr. Barlow, surgeon, was called in to examine the body. It was much discoloured about the back and shoulders, but the surgeon was unable to discover the cause of death. There was a little blood in the bed from the wounds on the forehead, but there was none about the room. The furniture, what little there was, was undisturbed, and the clothes did not appear to have been touched. The only articles that could have been used as weapons were a shovel and a mallet, but neither :appear to have been used, and no sound of any struggle or cry was heard in the house above. No motive can be discovered for the murder, if it be one. The man was known to be very poor, and he has never been seen to quarrel with anyone. A sixpence was found in a cupboard in the wall, and a halfpenny in his dress. He is believed to have been subject to fits, and it is sug gested that he might have died in a fit, and that the pecu liar wounds on the forehead may have been made by rats, with which the place is infested. Up to 12 o'elock last night no further discovery had been made, and it is pro bable that nothing more will be elicited till the inquest, which is to be held this morning, —Manchester Guardian. THE NEW BRONZE COINAGE.—The efforts made during the last 18 months or two years to call in the old copper coins and issue their bronze substitutes have, it appears, been successful " i to a great extent, so far at least as the large towns are concerned. We understand, that old pence, halfpenc., and farthings to the n ominal value of Emma .ElOO,OOO have been returned to the Master oper of the Mint and replaced.

There was a much better feeling in the trade for English wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, and in many instances prices advanced ls. per quarter. Barley was firmer, and malting qualities were held at enhanced rates. Other articles ruled steady in price. Letters from New York represent the trade for wheat and flour as in a very sluggish state, at reduced currencies. On the continent the export demand for produce is much restricted. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week exhibit a further increase. The imports from abroad were 95,836 quarters of wheat, 8,717 barley, 26,801 oats, 6,039 beans, 400 peas, 1,826 tares, 1,825 tares, 8,281 linseed, 6,953 oilseeds, 3,950 maize, 160 sundry seeds, 661 sacks, and 1,357 barrels of flour. A moderate supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market, and the quality of the produce was, for the most part, excellent. There were several buyers in attendance from the North, and the de mand ruled active both for red and white qualities. A 1 clearance was readily effected, and the prices realised were from is to 2s per quarter above those current on Monday last. The foreign wheat trade did not participate in the im provement to the same extent. However, an increased amount of business was transacted, particularly in Ameri can produce, and in several instances an advance of quite la per quarter took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain commanded more attention, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The recent changeable weather created a firmer trade for malting barley, and a slight advance took place in its value. For grinding and distilling qualities there was a steady de mand, at full quotations. The supply both of English and foreign parcels was very moderate. The malt trade was firm, and prices were well supported. There was a full average supply of oats on offer. Good and fine samples moved off steadily at full prices; but in ferior parcels met a slow sale, at late rates. Beans were in short supply, and steady request, at full currencies. Peas ruled firm at quite previous rates. The supply on offer was small. An improved feeling was observed in the flour trade, and prices were rather higher than on Monday last.

The trade ruled firm, on rather higher terms. The beasts came to hand in somewhat improved condition. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts exhibited a falling off, compared with Monday last, and there was a great deficiency in the weight of nearly all breeds. Primo Scots, Devons, and crosses sold freely, at 2d per Sibs. Otherwise the beef trade ruled inactive, but at full prices. The primest stock realised 5s per Slbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,700 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of Eng land, 600 of various breeds; from Scotland, 11 Scots ; and from Ireland. 400 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep from all quarters showed a heavy decrease, and most breeds were received in but middling condition. The demand generally was more active, and an advance of quite 2d per 81bs took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight. Prime Downs and half-breds readily commanded 5s 4d per 81bs. A few prime lambs were disposed of at 6s per Sibs; other wise tales were effected at about mutton prices. The supply of calves was only moderate, yet the trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no change took place, the top quotation being 4s 8d per 81bs. Pigs were in slow request, at last Monday's currency. Per 81b. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. a. d.

Admiral Dacres and the officers of the Channel Squadron were on Thursday entertained on board this magnificent vessel by the Messrs, Burns, upon whose invitation a dis tinguished company had the pleasure of meeting the naval officers. The Wolf left Greenock at ten o'clock, and steamed down to her Majesty's ship Edgar, the flag ship of the squadron, cff which she lay to to receive the admiral and his officers, who came off from their various ships in their respective boats. In addition to the admiral, every captain and every commander in the squadron was pre• sent, as well as a large representation from the civil and junior officers; and it may be mentioned that the regularity and order with which they embarked in the Wolf from their own gigs and jolly boats presented a pleasing and animating j scene. On the admiral stepping on board the private signals of the Wolf were lowered, and the flag of a Rear•• Admiral of the White was run up at the fore; at the same moment the white was substituted for the red ensign at the peak, whilst the band of the 41st Regiment played "Rule Bri tannia" from the main deck of the Wolf. The ship then hied away down channel on her cruise. Keeping close to the south side till she reached Wemyss Bay, she struck across, and after bending into Rothsay Bay, as far as to obtain a view of the ancient burgh and seaport, her course was di rected towards the Kyles of Bute. through which the Wolf passed, affording delight to all, but especially to the nume rous naval and other strangers on board, who often and again expressed their admiration of the beauties of this charming marine route. Emerging from the Kyles, the Wolf steered over to the west coast of Arran, and proceeded so far as to open the Sound of Kilbrannan, and at this point she turned, sweeping in by Loch Ranza, doubling the Cock of Arran, and then pushing into the open channel. Proceeding upwards at full steam, she reached the Tail of the Bank about half-past 4, and here the admiral and the officers were received, and proceeded on board their own ships by means . . of their own boats, in the same manner in which they had embarked. The cruise was a singularly pleasing one. Rain occasionally threatened, but rain never fell. The Arran Hills were seen under a shifting light of alternate cloud and sunshine, and the serrated peaks of the mountains receded from the sight, and again came hate view, as if seen throught the kaleidoscope. In all, between 200 and 330 ladies and gentlemen shared in this gladso=e voyage, amongst whom were—Colonel Goodwyn, C. 8., and the officers of the 41st Regiment, General 111‘Dowall and Mrs. M'Dowall, of Garthland, Cclonel Bayley, R.E., Major Barber, Mr. ' and Mrs. Campbell, of Blythswood, and party, Mr. and Mrs. Burn ley, Colonel Campbell, Scots Fusilier Guards; Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Graham, Mr. and Mrs. and Misses Crum, Mr. and Mrs. and Misses Hamilton, of Hafton ; Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Foley, the Right Hon. Joseph Napier, Mrs. Napier, and party, Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, Bart., Mr. John Maciver. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw Stewart, Sir Robert Arbuthnot, Bart., Lady Arbuthnot and Miss Arbuthnot, Mr. Trevor, Mr. Edward James, Captain and Mrs. Campbell, of Ardpatrick, Mr. Lamont, of Knockdow ; Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Arbuthnot, of Mavisbank ; the Rev. W. M'Donald, Mr. Buchanan, of Auchentorlie ; Mr. and Mrs. Bosanquet, Captain Algerncn Lyons, R.N., Mr. and Lady Charlotte Locker, Mr. and Mrs. Napier, of Merchiston ; Mr. and Mrs. Dennistoun, Miss Dundas, Admiral Sir Rodney Mundy, Lord Blantyre, and the Hon. Misses Stewart, Sir Janes Stewart, Bart., Mr. Donaldson, 3d Light Dragoons ; Mrs. Kirwan and party. On the homeward trip the party sat down to a dejeun er which was served in the main saloon, and was o f the most recherche kind. There were no toasts:of any description, the ladies and gentlemen enjoying themselves with all the absence of formality which marks a genial family party. The Wolf was admitted to be no unworthy representative of the mercantile marine of the country, when she lay alongside of the iron and wooden walls of Old England. The Messrs. Burns, who did everything on board to en hance the pleasure of the party, were, as we have said, singularly fortunate in the weather; and perhaps on no occasion since Lord Palmerston honoured the Wolf with his company has there been a sight mere imposing and animating than that presented when the boats of the squadron came alongside with their respective officers, and when the crews " tossed oars," and gave to the chiefs all the honours of the navy. THE VISITORS TO THE FLEET. Thursday, the weather being very fine, a large number of excursionists visited the fleet. The Black Prince and Warrior received the largest number of visitors. The colos sal proportions of these vessels, their marvellous combina tion of strength and grace, the novel principles upon which they have been constructed, and the tremendous power of their armament, give to them an interest which the wooden walls now fail; to command. To compare the decks of the Black Prince to a bee-hive would give but a faint descrip tion of the animation that prevailed. The spectacle was a striking one, and must have been admired by every ono who witnessed it. Large bodies of liberty men were again seen in our streets, all of them behaving in a most exemplary manner. Of course, Jack on shore considers himself as good as his master, and while many of the officers were being conveyed in cabs to the residence of Provost Grieve to dine, several of the tars also got cabs, some of them seating themselves inside—in the " cabin"—while others got on the seat beside the driver, to see that he "steered" right. Those who dis dained the cabin and got on the upper deck (the top of the cab) occasionally called to the driver to "lie to" when they neared a spirit shop to enable them to take in some fresh grog. A laughable scene was witnessed during the evening. A handsome young fellow; a sheet or two in the wind, en tered an ironmonger's shop and purchased a frying-pan. He next proceeded to a flesher's shop and had the pan filled with sausages, thereafter travelling from shop to shop ask ing the use of a fire for a few minutes to prepare his savoury stew. But to detail the eccentricities of the "jolly tars" would be an endless task. The scene at the Tail of the Bank was a very animated one. Hundreds of vessels, from the largo sailing and steam vessels down to the small punt, were continually plying to and from the shore. ADMIRAL DACRES ON THE UTILITY OF SMALL VESSELS OF WAR.—On Friday evening Admiral Dacres and the officers of the squadron under his command were entertained to a banquet by the Corporation of Glasgow. In responding to the toast of the evening, Admiral Da9res said that what little he had done in the course of his career in the navy had been amply rewarded. He believed there was not an officer in the British navy who, if he had the same opportunities he had had, would not do as well as he had done, and a great deal better. Alluding to the ships he now commanded, he said there were gentlemen present who knew a great deal more of building ships than he did. But there was one thing he might speak of with as much confidence as most people. He believed the present was just as well as any other fleet in the world; and it matters very little whether it was well or ill, they would manage to fight their way through some way, and they would get the people on shore to help if it came to the worst, (Applause.) As to the Glasgow shipbuilding, he spoke not as a sailor only, he spoke of it as a most interesting subject to every Englishman. The great question in case of war would not be, how many iron-clads we had, but what nation would sweep the seas of its opponents p He had seen yards there that could build a vessel in a year, he meant such a vessel as the Royal Oak. These, however, were not the vessels we should want. We should want hundreds of vessels like the Alabama, that everybody bad heard of, and which the Americans were now suffering from. He did not mean to reflect on the Admiralty in adverting to this ques tion of small vessels. It would be very unbecoming in him if he did, for he knew that the Duke of Somerset, in a speech he made recently, was exactly of the same opinion he had expressed. BALL ON BOARD SHIP.—The officers of the line .of -battle ship Duke of Wellington, now lying in Portsmouth Harbour, gave a luncheon and ball on board that noble vessel on Thurday last. The hospitabl a e n o.f r they i the gallant entertainers was well responded. to, and had the pleasure to welcome upwards of 200 in the o their ship, comprising members of the principal familiesngst those pre county, including the Isle of Wight.

Amongst these Were many beautiful cups kindly placed at the disposal of the o fficers by Lord Lendesborough, whose brother, the Hon Albert Denison, is now serving as lieutenant on board the vessel. The splendid Ascot Cup, won by West Australian, in 1854; the Emperor's Cup, won by the Ursuline, in the celebrated match to Cherbourg, in 1853 ; and the cup won for the present lord, by the Albertine, last month, over the same course, were amongst the more conspicuous objects. Grimston Hall had also furnished a supply of flowers and fruit, which arrived in excellent condition, although it had travelled from the further end of Yorkshire to Portsmouth. Several handsome epergnes and centre pieces, supplied by Messrs. E. and E. Emmanuel, of Portsea, also contributed to the decoration of the tables. The ship's band, stationed around the mainmast, soon set in motion the nimble feet of the happy guests, and, with the necessary intermission during luncheon, dancing was maintained with great ani mationhe from three in the afternoon till about eight in evening, when the visitors took leave of their galla nt en tertainers, and were conveyed ashore.

THE GREEKS in London propose getting up a grand fete in honour of their king upon his arrival in this country. GENERAL R. RUMLEY, it is currently reported, will be the president of the forthcoming court-martial on Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley. A GOOD ANECDOTE is told of one of the little kings at Frankfort. He wanted his army instructed in the use of the Armstrong gun, so got one, but was obliged to ask leave of the next king to have the target put up in his king dom, his own not being big enough for the Armstrong range I LOST IN THE IfiLLs.—A gentleman from the granite city who arrived at Wick a week or two ago with the intention of " doing " the northern counties, was this week in his over anxiety to get over the ground, very nearly " doing " himself, It appears that he had reached the west of Sutherland, and having taken up his quarters with a friend there spent a day or two seeing what was to be seen in his locality. Time was precious, however, and our friend, contrary to the early solicitations of his host, resolved to set out for Bettyhill, his next stage, at a late hour in the afternoon; and to shorten the distance, as he supposed, he, instead of taking the road, tried to reach his destination by a short cut through the hills. For an hour or two he got along t o hi s entire satisfaction, but dark ness coming on, he b egan to fi n d that a journeyin the dark over such a road WB9 anything but comfortable work.

BLACKBURN.—A further reduction has taken place during the past week in the number of recipi ents of parochial relief in the Blackburn district of th e union, and a small increase has occurred in the Darwen and Oswaldtvristle districts. The returns show that during the week 6,327 persons were relieved with £363 O s . 9d ., against 6,437 with £358 Ws. 11d. in the previous week, and 10,806 with £587 Bs. 9d. in the corresponding week of 1862. Of these 4,701 belonged to the Blackburn dis trict, and were relieved with £267 Bs. 4d., agaitnst 4,865 with £263105. 03 . in t he previous week. In th.e number of inmates in the workhouse there has been a decrease of two on the week, and of 65 on the year.
