Mr Coleman, one of the official liquidators of the N orthumberland and Durham District Bank, has o btained the sanction of the Vice-Chancellor Kin. dersley to pay a further dividend of ls. in the pound on the 20th and 21st of this month at Newcastle, thus making the aggregate amount of dividends 19:3 6 d in the pound. A. rather novel undertaking, entitled the Tele - - legraphic News Association, has been introduced, fo ra capital of £50,000, in shares of £lO each, of Which, however, it is thought that only £2 will be required to be called up. The association is pro tected with the view of furnishing the press and the public of England, the continent of Europe, and the western world with a faller and more regular "PPiy of telegraphic intelligence than is at present afforded. The directors, who are a highly respect able body, state that they have concluded special a rrangements for procuring early and accurate in formation in connexion with the civil war in Ame rica, the progress of the new Mexicin Empire, and intelligence from the E set Indies and China, t 0 be frequently transmitted via the St. Petersburg li4e• A staff of experienced hands bar been orga. nixed in all the principal cities and towns, both at home and abroad, and the most important intelli gence, political and commercial, will be distiibuted through all quarters.

Yesterday her afterpart, 180 feet in length, and including the engines, was dragged off the bank and towed into the Mersey. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advice s from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is .13.51 per £1 stcrline. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 7-piths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is abut 263 per cent., and the premium on gold is 141 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of gold from the United ,Staten, rHE SUN, LONDON, SATtTIZDAY EVENING, .DECEMBER 3, 1864. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. The superior courts of law this morning were occupied with cases totally devoid of public interest, In the Queen's Bench, the Lord Chief Justice was engaged in hearing a cause, Blake v. Stevens, in which the plaintiff, an attorney, sought to recover damages for certain statements published in the Law Journal reports, which, he contended, had in jured his professional standing. The Court of Exchequer was engaged with a case in which the question in dispute was the amount of a bill, and the Court of Common Pleas a suit was proceeding in which the infringement of a patent relating to certain rolling machinery was the matter in dispute. The Court of Probate was engaged with the part heard case of lianslip and Layton v. Robinson. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. There was only a very light list, and the only cas.c of the slightest importance was that of Behrends and Nichols, merchants, St Nary Axe. The bankruptcy occurred four years ago, the debts amounting to £20,000. A dividend of Is 3 t in the pound has already been paid, and there is £1,200 in hand, which will wind up the estate.

A BRUTAL CAB DRlVER.—Edward Gilbert, driver of hansom cab, 11,722, appeared before Mr Knox to answer a complaint of having cruelly flogged a horse. Mr William Love, of the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals, attended to support the com plaint, and called several witnesses, amongst others, Mr James Murray, a gentleman residing in the city, and from their evidence it appeared that on the evening of Wednes day, the 23d ult., the defendant drove his horse and cab into the Haymarket. when from some cause the animal fell, and whilst it lay on the ground the defendant kept his seat and lashed the animal in a furious manner. The horse had nearly succeeded in regaining its legs, but fell again, ap parently from the effects of the violent lashing the defend ant kept up. The animal made several ineffectual attempts to rise, whilst the defendant kept up the lashing of it. At length'several cab drivers who were on the stand close by, rushed up and begged the defendant to desist from beating the horse, and it was at length released from the cab. It was again put to by the defendant, who then procured a thick piece of leather, part of a trace, and whilst he held the animal firmly by the bearing rein, he inflicted a num ber of violent blows about its head with the trace, making use of horrible language and threats. Each of the wit- nesses described the defendant's conduct as brutal as it was gratuitous. The defendant denied he had done anything more than was necessary to get the horse upon its legs. Mr Knox said he could understand a man giving his horse a smart lash or two to induce it to regain its legs, but the defendant had gone far beyond that, and had inflicted a number of blows about the head of the animal without the slightest excuse. It was a wanton act, and he should fine the defendant 20s, or seven days. _ _ ATTEMPTING TO PICK LADIES' POCKETS.—James Par ker, William Holland, and P. Parker, all from Kent-street, in the Borough, were charged with attempting to pick the pockets of several ladies in Regent-street. Frederick Hawes, 336 D, having given evidence, the pri soner was remanded. THAMES. MARINE BURGLARY BY A TICKET-OF-LEAVE CON. vim—James Conedan, a well-known and desperate thief, aged 25, of No. 9, Tiles-alley, Limehouse, was brought before Mr Partridge, on remand, charged with breaking into the cabin of the ship Ocean, in the London Docks, and stealing a guard chain. The Ocean is a foreign ship. On Monday night last, Captain Moller, the master, was asleep in his cabin, and was awoke by a noise which indliced him to stretch out his erms, and he caught the prisoner, who was leaning over his berth and in the act of taking his watch, which was hanging up. The captain raised an alarm and aalled out, which aroused Mr &halt a the mate, and Hempel, the car penter, who jumped out of bed and assisted in securing the prisoner. The carpenter missed his chain, which he had left suspended to his watch when he turned in. It was found under the berth. The prisoner must have removed it. The mate missed a guard chain belonging to his watch from his chest, and it was found in a corner of the cabin, 15 feet from the chest. Timothy Cox, 45 K, a police-sergeant, said the prisoner was tried at the March Sessions of the Central Criminal Court in 1861, convicted of a highway robbery with vio lence, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The prisoner was released with a ticket-of-leave some months ago, and five months of his sentence were still unexpired. Mr Partridge—Four months. The four years expire in March, 1865. Did the prisoner report himself when he came home ? The Prisoner—Yes; I did sir. Cox—He has reported himself regularly once a month. The Prisoner—l was convicted cf a highway robbery, bui Sergeant Cox .knows that I was innocent of that. Cox—There was a former conviction proved against the prisoner when he was convicted iu IS6I. Ile is known to the police as Pikey. Mr Partridge committed the prisoner fcr trial. WESTMINSTER. POVERTY AND CRIME,—Eliza Irwin, a young woman 21 years of age who was very scantily and poorly olothed for the season of the year, was charged with wilfully breaking three panes of glass in a building attached to Chelsea workhouse. Police constable, 212 D, said that he was on duty near St. Luke's 'Workhouse, Chelsea, between 11 and 12 last night, when the defendant came up and told him that she had broken some glass in the new workhouse, and wanted to be sent to prison. She said she had done so because she could not obtain admission into the workhouse, and he then took her into custody. - Mr Selfe asked whether anyone was present to represent the parish authorities. The policeman replied there was not. The new build ing in which the windows had been broken had not yet been handed over to the parish authorities, as it was not quite finished. The building was attached to the work house and was to form part of it. Mr Selfe observed that he saw by the newspapers that this was becoming a very common offence. Dennis, the jailor—There was a young woman here yes terday for the same offence, committed for seven days. .Mr Selfe—What have you to say to this defendant ? Defendant—They have turned me out of the workhouse, and what am Ito do ? I have got no home nor place of shelter, and so I was glad to break the glass to finish my wretchedness and get to prison. Mr Selfe—Have you been in the workhouse? Defendant—l have. Mr Selfe—Do you belong to St. Luke's, Chelsea ? Defendent--Yes, I do. Mr Selfe—You say you were turned out of the work house ? How was that ? Mr Simmonds, the chairman of the board, ordered me to be turned out of the house. I had only been in a week, I told them I had no place to go to, but they turned me out without giving me a farthing, and what was I to do ? I can't go about the streets without food and with no shelter. I would rather go to prison, a great deal. I shall at any rate be out of the streets. Mr Selfe—l should like to see somebcdy from the parish to hear whether the statement you have made is correct. I shall remand you until Tuesday, and should like to have the attendance of one of the parish officers here on that day. DEATH OF Mr. WILLIAM LEWIS DAYTON.—We have to record the daath of Mr. William Lewis Dayton, the Minister of the United States of America to the Court of the Tuileries, who expired of apoplexy on Thursday evening. The deceased gentleman was the son of a New Jersey farmer, and was by profession a lawyer. Ho was born in New Jersey in 1807, and called to the ler there in 1830. In a few years he attained high honours and office in his native State, and afterwards chairman of the Justiciary Committee, and one of the assistant justices of the Supreme Court. In 1811 he was delegated to the Senate at Washington, a position ho filled till 1847, when, not being re-elected, he returned to his profession. His party was the Republican ; and, in 1856, when General Fremont contested the presidency on the same platform, the election fell upon Mr. Buchanan, and the Democra tic party was in the ascendancy. Mr Dayton again retired to the practice of his profession, till, in 1860, the Republi cans carried the Presidency for Mr Lincoln, from whom he received the appointment of Minister Plenipotentiary at the French Court. DEATH OF SERGEANT STEPHEN.—The death of Sergeant A. J. Stephen, for some years one of her Majesty's Commissioners in Bankruptcy, has taken place. The learned gentleman was well known for his " Commentaries" and other legal works. He was 78 years of age. DEATH OF THE REV. DR ARCLIER.—The death of the Rev. Dr Thomas Archer, who has long been known as one of the most eloquent of London preachers, is announced. He belonged to the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland, which is a separate body from both the Established Church and the Free Church, but with scarcely appreciable' differences in doctrine or discipline. Thirty three years ago Dr Archer was elected-minister of Oxend on street Chapel, near the Haymarket, and dining the whole of that long period he has secured a congregation composed of some of the most opulent and the most intelligent of his fellow -countrymen residing in London and its neighbour hood. He was a man of large and liberal views, and his death will be deeply deplored.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. — lioniosopathio practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverakes. When the doc trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt rued no Freparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. .1. Epps, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1830 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length sucoeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article putts in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes throagh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful b reakfast beverage, possessing a most deli ciousv'aoroi aroma. Dsra.ysll....a,ss Cocoa its , AdulterationS,'' im portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than ether coffee or tea." Directions —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk.

ANOTHER GERMAN MURDERER.—A verdict of wilful murder was, on Wednesday, returned by a coroner'a jury at Falmouth, against Albert Bernhard Julius Rudolf, a sailor belonging to a foreign at an- chor in the harbour. The evidence taken was complicated, voluminous, and conflicting, but it seems clear that the ac■ cured came ashore on Saturday, and against the advice of a comrade, brought with him his clasp knife. Rudolf then became somewhat intoxicated, was a party to a street guar% rol, during which John Timmins, a young man employed by a Penryn fish dealer, was stabbed to the heart, and died almost instantly. Two or three witnesses express their be lief that Rudolf was the man whom they saw strike the fatal blow. The moat damaging point is that the accused, when arrested on board his ship, endeavoured to conceal his clasp knife, which was found to be freshly stained with blood. Rudolf is a Prussian, and his else, therefore, is another instance in which murder is laid at the door of a German sojourning in England.— Western .Morning .zvews.

EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS. On Thursday night a meeting was convened at Broad mead Rooms, Bristol, by a body styling itself the " Bristol Emancipation Society," to adopt an address expressive of gratification at the reelection of President Lincoln, and the consequent continuation and extension of the anti-slavery policy which the Federal Government has inaugurated under his administration. The room was crowded to excess. The following account of this "demonstration" is taken from the Bristol Daily Post of yesterday : "At the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting, Mr Handel Coseham, Mr A; Warren, and others, ascended the platform, a movement which excited the dense crowd who thronged the room to the moat de moniacal outburst of indignation. Those who had not already got upon the seats jumped upon them, and joined the more prominent leaders of the opposition in a volley of hissing and yelling that was perfectly indescribable. Mr George Powell, who is generally known as the working man,' and usually takes part in meetings having similar objects in view to this one, advanced to the front of the platform, and essayed to address the meeting, but he lied no sooner uttered the word Gentlemen,' than he was assailed by the most discordant sounds. Some person near the door had excited the ill-feeling of those around him by uttering sentiments centrary to those entertained by the majority of the meeting, and a cry of Turn him out' .vas raised, which served to divert attention from the upper end of the hall to the point indicated, and Mr Powell endea voured to avail himself of this diversion, but the utterance of the word ' Gentlemen' acted like a talisman, and the crowd forgetting the unlucky wight who had ventured to express his opinions as it were in the enemy's camp, re turned to their "first love," and seemed determined to cry the bold Powell down. The meeting cheered for President Davis until they ware literally horse, and groaned for Abe Lincoln with equal vehemence. "Tho working mazer again made a feeble attempt to address the meeting, and assured them that they were defeating their own object, but this line of argument was futile; it failed to obtain him anything ap proaching a hearing. Ho shouted at the top of his voice, " I am here merely to move a chairman ; won't you have a chairman?" but in the dire confusion which then existed his words could not have been heard beyond the reporters' table immediately underneath. An individual in the back gallery here called out, "Stonewall Jackson for ever,"--a sentiment which evoked the heartiest response, cheer following cheer in quick succession, and increasing in in tensity as the applause proceeded. Mr Powell still stood his ground, and, apparently losing hie temper, said, "Do you call yourselves men 1) There is no manliness about you. (Derisive cheers and laughter.) Tho speaker said he begged leave to move that Algernon Warren Eeq, take the chair, and then resumed his seat. The meeting not hearing what he stated, and conceiving that they had at last conquered him, cheered vociferously, and waved their hats with the wildest anthuttiaem. Mr J. Harris rose upon the platform, and was understood to second the motion, but if he said any. thing it certainly was not heard by those who were within a few feet of him. Mr Warren having assumed the chair, stood up with the placard convening the meeting in his hand, upon seeing which some person al the other end of the room commenced singing the bacchanalian sone, "We won't go home till morning, till daylight doesappear," which was joind in by the great majority of those present, accompanied by stamping of feet and other noises. The refrain was sung again and again--and the Chairman's patience being exhausted he resumed his seat, and was loudly cheered for having thus admitted his defeat, and again the refrain of the bacchanalian ditty was taken up. An oc cupant of a seat upon the platform here came forward, and putting his two hands to his mouth shouted, " Hear both sides I" But the meeting had evidently made up their minds to hear neither side, An elderly man, in the middle of the room, standing upon a seat with frantic gesticulations and the waving of his cap, demanded something upon the rights of an Englishman, but what it was desired no one could tell ; for even to those immediately around him it was but dumb show. The meeting, conceiving that they had found fresh food for fun in the impromptu orator, crowded around him. Stools were thrown down, a scene of great con fusion ensued, and an attempt was made to force him on the platform, but the old gentleman declined the " honours they would thrust upon him," subsided into silence, and was lost in the crowd. A cry was raised in the body of the room to clear the platform of the sympathisers with President Lincoln, and no sooner was the suggestion made than several hundred persons came surging over the seats like an immense wave, and in 'he foremost rank was dis tinguishable the stalwart form of a grenadier. Tho pro moters of the meeting clustered around each other, and formed a sort of secret conclave, discussing, it was presumed the course best to be pursued, but what resolution they came to we know not, excepting that they stood their ground for some ten minutes or a quarter of an hour after the enemy had successfully assaulted their " petition." A number of Lincolnites endeavoured to improve the occasion of being brought in contact with their opponents by arguing in favor of "Old Abe ;" but 'twas throwing words away. With mock earnestness a publican advanced towards the centre of the platform, and seeing him come those in the vicinity drew back on either side, leaving a space by the chairman's seat clear. Behind the table and great even in defeat, were the devoted band of Mo rals, and Mr Cossham, foremost among them, seeing the burly form approaching, courteously removed his hat, and went forward to ask what was wanted. The publican instead of proposing any plan for quelling the disturbance, as Mr Cossham perhaps expected, requested to know if he could have the 6d which he had paid for admission returned, upon which some one inquired ironically whether two three penny pieces would do instead. In the midst of the scuffle the table was seized and turned upside down, and hurled off the platform, while to show the wreck which had been made a chair minus legs was held un, and benches bereft of sup ports were thrown down. Whilst this scene was being en acted, numerous incidents of an amusing character were witnessed. Some one suggested that a glees of beer should be sent for for Handel Cossham, a remark which was provocative of much laughter; and two respectably dressed persons immediately under the platform indulged in some strong expressions as to the merits and demerits of the North and South, and an animated conversation was brought to a conclusion by one challenging the other "just to come outside." Small shot and dried peas were thrown in great quantities about the hall, to the discomfort of many timid persons. Cheers were given for General Lee, and re sounded through the room again and again, and on an ex cited individual in the middle of the room declaring that he wished to address the meeting in favour of the South, loud cries for "Silence" were raised, and many seemed disposed to give him a hearing ; but when the disturbance had almost been quelled, and the meeting had subsided into something approaching order, the gas was lowered, and there was a general rush towards the door. A vast number, however, remained in the room, and an individual in the back gallery commenced singing some ditty—a parody on "John Bre wn's body"—the burthen of which was that they would " hang Abe Lincoln to a sour apple tree," and the chorus, which was heartily joined in, " Glory, glory, hallelujah." Three cheers for the defeat of Cossham wore then demanded and responded to, and the gas was further lowered, but the ruse did not this time succeed, and very few left the room. A person from the platform sug gested that now they had got the room to themselves (the promoters of the meeting having left) they should "hiss a vote of thanks to President Davis, and give three cheers for the people of Bristol for the noble manner in which they had shown their true sen timents that night. Let them also give three groans for Abe Lincoln, who knew how to use the bowie knife but not the bayonet, so that he might learn what was the feeling of Englishmen with regard to him. The same individual also proposed a vote of censure upon those who had con • vened the meeting, and though ho spoke amid great confu sion,lowered to a point which but barely served to snake the e darkness visible, and still a large number lingered in the others h o h b o ta a i t u te e l d np a te h d ear toi heari n g, speak.'Ah which was gas re fu was sed to once th e nice' mer off, when stools were thrown down and the room was speedily cleared of its noisy occupants." room,and t he u noise nti d eventually anup the roa r gas still w continued as tune d it w h un abated com pletel y There is news of Dr. Demme and Miss Flora, which now seems to be authentic. They are ccr. tainly not at the bottom of the Lake of Geneva. A telegram was received at Berne on Nev. 28, from the Swiss consul at Milan, stating that Dr Demme and " his wife" had been seen in that city a week ago, and that on Nov. 21 Dr Demme paid a visit to a mad doctor named Rifll, whose acquaint ance ho had probably made at Constantinople. The sup position that the fugitives had embarked at Trieste for Mexico on Nov. 19 must therefore fall to the ground. The Bund of the 29th repeats the story of stolen rings having been given by the Doctor to Miss Flora. A FRIENDLESS GIRL.—Mr Fowler, the stipen diary magistrate, :in referring yesterday to the case of Alice Berwick, charged in August last with an attempt to commit suicide, and afterwards assisted to proceed to America, said ho had received a letter from the girl's father, announcing her safe arrival, and expressing the beat thanks of both to those who so kindly sent them out. We have to record the death of the Hon. Mrs. Henry Fitzroy, widow of the Right lion. Henry Fitzroy, only brother of Lord Southampton. The lamented lady was a daughter of the late Baron Nathan Rothschild, and con sequently sister of Baron Lionel Rothschild, M.P., Sir Anthony Rothschild, and Baron Meyer Rothschild. She married in 1339 the Hon. Henry Fitzroy. She died in 1869, and left issue an only daughter. The mortal remains of Lady A Ivanley, whi c h h a d been removed to her house in Bruton-street, wt.re yesterday placed beside those of her husband, the last Lord Alvanley in the cemetery at Brompton. Only the members of the family attended. The funeral procession was followei by a large number of private carriages. MILFORD HAVEN OYSTER FISHERY.--The valu able oyster fishery at Milford has of late been seriously in terfered with by the oysters being caught atd taken to other districts in order to be laid down in foreign beds.

Among the "Sights o' Lunnon," the " Ghcst" entertainment must, by anticipation, be the most awful of all the bucolic mind, as yet innocent of the Pepperian Philosophy ; but how great is the astonishment of "Master and Missus Hodge" to find on visiting the Canterbury Hall that instead of the hollow-eyed, sheet -clad spectre, associated with their ghost lore of the country, a phantom scenery of beauty is presented, such as would have done credit to the improvising talent of an Aladdin ! To friends from the country whom the railway brings to the metropolis oftener than the worthy Hodges, it is only necessary to say that in " Perfume and Bouquet,". the last new Optical Illusion, a spectacle is r•resented which en tirely throws all previous exhibitions into the shade, although we aver this with duo respect to the " Tercen tenary, or Night with Shakspere," which is attaioing its hundredth night of representation. Since the visitor to the Metropolitan Cattle Show came to London, the cele brated " Antbropophoginian" has made his appearance (a clever skit upon the Anthropoglossos) wherein Mr 11r. Hilton exhibits marvellous ventriloquial powers, and en dows three heads—a Scotchman, an Irishman, and a veritable John Bull—with speech, strong in individual na tionality and accent. Then the same Mr (now Professor) Hilton and Mr Kelly "do" the Brothers Davenport— Tol maque, Redmond—Red and Black Indian Rope Trick— and do it as well as all the people we have named (although we have not seen tho Indian gentlemen, and ought provi sionally, perhaps, to except those worthies). I t should bo stated, also, that Professors Hilton and Kelly tie and untie themselves, and are tied up without collusion with anybody in the hall—certainly not with the small fleet cf British tars who tie knots all over the bodies of the two profeesors with out avail. Then, again, there are Comic Illustrations by the clever Mr and Mrs Randall (each conspicuous in the Optical Illusion) and Comic Illustrations of Negro charac ters by "Little Bob,"—an exponent of the Black Art, en dowed with immense facial expression, a pointed singer, and indomitable dancer, late of the Newcombe and Rumsey Minstrels. Moreover, there are the fine choruses, part songs, and sentimental and comic songs; and last, though not least, the grand Operatic Selections, under Mr Jongh man's direction, of which Offenbach's laughable " Orpheio aux Enfors (a title which, out of respect to the sensitive ness of Mrs Hodge, we will leave in the comparative ob scurity of the original French), whilst, in the adjoining Hall is the magnificent Picture Gallery, which much helped to win, as it now continues to maintain, the Canterbury Hall high to popular favour with the visitors to the "Cottle Show" iu particular, and with public at large. STATE OF TRADE.—BRADFORD, Dee. I.—The market to-day was much quieter, and little wool changed hands. Several causes have tended to this result. Spinners supplied themselves rather freely with wool last week, and have good stocks. Many still fear that money will be dearer, and are cautions ; and the rumours. which are not generally credited. of peace proposals in America have, for the moment, a rather depressing effect. Staplers were generally exceedingly firm in their demands, although wool might be bought at prices a shade easier than a week ago. The holders of wool in the country adhere with tona lity to prices, and the stapler, who cannot replace at the current rates, is indisposed to make any sacrifice. There was great sluggishness in pieces. Spinners who had recently taken orders were rather higher in their quotations, while those who were not so favourably situated were easier to deal with. Neither the home nor the export houses placed many orders. Some of the home houses gave small orders in fancy goods, required at the beginning of the year, although the business duing is far below the average at this season, In plain goods the only demand was for China. There was nothing' done for the Continent. The accounts thence aro unfavourable. Prices were without change. THE GERMANS AND THEIR VICTIMS.--To us, BC. cnstomed to great victories, who, as each turns up, give it a hurrah and en illumination and then have done, writing quietly for the next, the way in which Flensburg and Duppel have taken possession of, and penetrated into, the heart, and through every nerve of the German nature, is es wonderful a phenomenon as a stranger can behold. The ring of a battle pervades everything; it is in the con. versation, in the music, in the newspapers, in the pamph lets, in the scrap-books, in the public entertainments. You will see a shop window stored with relics from Schleswig—flattened bullets, fragments of shells, lots of bayonets end sword blades, neatly framed or mounted on pedestals, with suitable inscriptions. I daresay it would bo no bad speculation just now to export some old array stores' to Germany. The booksellers' end print-shop windows flare with ensanguined pictures, filled with the horrors that delight the most brutal appetites. Most people are familiar with the practice—naturally a gentle and pleasing one—of heading the s heets whereon letters are written with small engravings of spots rendered interesting— the exile is per haps thus reminded of his native home, or he sends to those dear to him there, a faint transcript of the scenes among which he sojourns. By a horrible travestie of this amiable practice, German letter paper is headed with a large va riety of the murderous deeds of tko war, highly coloured ph a w n aev i d n t em h the aa t h rak e r a. c_ d c e d el i e v t r zi e ,o - i r p cn o; e f il :::o op m m s i e so n e r a t_ tr i t u o i a n ng a g i , n cyz r d: o f e r;i . e s g n o l o d t a l h y t i a n c t g o both m o na v u e the r u i bnlgeBs:dmi3i sender At tho Liverpool Quarter Sessions yesterday a policeman was senten3e3 to nine moat he' imprisonment for extorting money from a young man in lieu of taking him into custody.

The other night two farmers, named James White and Samuel Johnstone, were returning from the market of Castledarg, county Tyrone, when they were attacked by five men, who beat White so severely that he has sincedied. Two brothers of the risme of Maguire, against whom White had taken some legal proceedings, are supposed to have led the attack. They have absconded. The report of the directors of the Bank of British North America has been issued prior to the meeting on Tuesday next. The return from all the branches during the current year exhibit a satisfactory ins crease of profit, and the directors state that they are amply justified in declaring the customary divi. dend of 3 per cent for the half year, free of income tar, and payable on the sth pros. The business of the bank at Victoria, Vancouver Island, has steadily increased; an office for melting and assaying gold has been established in the bank preulise9, to which a duly qualified assayer has been appointed, and no effort has been wanting on the part of the directors to meet the requirements of this prosperous colony. As contemplated in the last report, an agency has been established at San Francisco, iu California, and the directors feel warranted in now stating that its prospects aro very encouraging. The mansge• ment of this agency has bf..en entrusted to two ex perienced officers long in the service of the bank, and their endeavours, combined with the eatab. fished character of this bank, have already obtained a fair measure of support from the mercantile Corns munity in the city, ••-~ Stook 13.14, st st st 50 20 100 100 all 100 100 100 6 7 4S 8 155 i 1141 411 851 i 30,5 3 II t - "4
