°HEY MARKET. AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Exceptional transactions are reported in the Discount Market at 31 per cent., but 4 per cent. is still generally asked for three months' bills, and the demand is well kept up. A further sum of £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. The dealings in tea have been suspended until the public sales, which commence today, Sugars have been in limited request at previous prices, while coffee, rice, fruit, and apices have re mained without any material alteration in values. The tallow market has been dull, and rather lower ratee are current for both present and forward de livery. The first ordinary general meeting of the Char ing -cross Hotel Company was held to-day—the Hon. James Byag in the chair. The report. which was unanimously adopted, stated that the directors had obtained a lease of the site for the hotel at the Charing-cross Railway Terminus for 1,000 years, at a cost of £65,000. The chairman stated that Mr. Lucas was constructing the establishment, which Would be completed in a short time, and in good architectural style. The amount of specie brought by the City of New York from America is £90,834. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 55c. Firm. There is scarcely any alteration to-day in the English Funds, and the dealings are on a very reduced scale. The tendency at the latest moment appears rather favourable, owing to the receipt of higher prices from the Paris Bourse. Consols are 931 for transfer, and 931 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 93k. ; Bank Stock is quoted 238 210 ; India Stock is 224 226; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 108 a 1; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1071 ; the Bonds are 19s. prem. ; and Exchequer Bills are Is. dis, to 2s. prem. There is very little animation in the Foreign Market, and prices are in some instances depressed.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been of a very limited character, and prices have exhibited few changes of importance. London and South Western have receded about 65,; Great Eastern, Great Western, LAncashire, Midland, and South Eastern have each sustained previous rates. For the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been an average demand.

ENLISTING SOLDIERS FOR PoLAND.—Lieutenant Styles, who stood remanded on the charge preferred at the instance of the Russian authorities for attempting to enlist young men in this country to serve in Poland under the National Government, and against that of the Czar, was again placed at the bar this afternoon at two o'clock. Counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Sharp ; solicitor for the defence, Mr. Lewis... (From the 'Scotsman of yesterday.) GLENTnuim.—On the 12th August, on the Glentruim moors, Mr. Hopwood, M.P., and'Mr. Frederick Coventry, bagged 401 brace of grouse, 3 hares, 3 rabbits, and 1 snipe. Saw a fair quantity of birds grown and strong on the wing. STRATIIEARN.-0 wing to the favourable weather, the stock of partridges is reported to be about an average, and the shooting is expected to be very good. The hatching season began under the most favourable circumstances. Mr. Poland stated that it was not intendel to call any further evidence to-day, and applied for the prisoner's com mittal for trial. CASE. There was a large number of old birds and they were gene rally found in splendid condition. The nests were well filled with eggs —many of them containing from fifteen to eighteen. The young broods were all hatched early in the season, and the warm weather brought on the young co veys very fast, The coveys number from eight to fourteen birds each, and the birds are as large as the old ones, and in fine condition. Mr. Hall committed him for trial, admitting him to bail in two sureties of £l5O each, and his own recognisances for £3OO. ROBBING THE " STRONG MAN."—A dirty, ragged, dis sipated couple, who called themselves William Alison and Alice Clark, but who are suspected to be husband and wife, were charged with stealing a pewter pint pot from the Opera Tavern, in Brydges-street, opposite Drury-lane Theatre, lc4.t by Mr. Harrison, better known as Professor Harrison, the "strong man." PERTILSHIP.E.—Since the opening of the grouse shooting season on the Ochils we have had bright sunshine on both moorland and valley, and the spot has been enjoyed much better on this account. On Saturday, however, the weather changed, and we had heavy rain in the morning, which prevented sportsmen getting out till the day was well ad vanced. The Earl cf Camperdown and Lord Duncan on the Frandy and Gleneagles moors have had excellent shooting. At Clendevon Captain Aytoun has enjoyed splendid sport, and has bagged about 20 brace daily. On the Carim moors Mr. Edmunds has been most successful. Capt. Grove is prosecuting the sport at Kippen daily. He has had fine bags. The result of three days' shooting to one gun on his range is about 30 grouse, and about 15 he of other game, On the Duchally range Mr. Mylne and party have had about 70 head of grouse since the season opened. On the Coulshill moors Mr. L-gan has had capital shooting. With one gun he had killed about 60 head in three days. The moors on the Ochila have now nearly all been opened, and the sport upon the whole has been far superior to that of last year. Mrs. Harri,.on stated that the prisoners came into her husband's house on the previous evening and ordered a pint of beer. They sat tor sometime drinking it, and using a barrel, which stood in front of the bar, as a table. Pre sently the woman went out, at the same moment witness missed the pot, which a moment before was standing on the barrel. Witness said to the prisoner, "That woman has taken the pot." He replied, "Oh, no, she is not gone far, she will be back in a moment," Witness detained him, called a policeman, and gave him in custody. When the policeman had taken him away witness put on her bonnet and followed. In Brydges-street she found the female prisoner in a doorway watching the house. She siezed the prisoner and said, " You must come with me." The prisoner replied, " I know nothing about it." Mr. Hall—Had you told her what you wanted her for? Witness—No, I only said, "You must come with me." A gentleman who happened to be passing assisted her to convey the prisoner to the station. At the station-house the man said he did not know the woman, having only met Ler at the door of the tavern. COMRIE.—On the moors in this district the shooting season was opened auspiciously, and good sport has been enjoyed by the sportsmen who have been out. The weather was bad on Friday, and the state of the ground was not favourable for sport onSaturday. On the moors or Lochearn head and Glenogle Mr. Joseph N. Walker and party bagged, on the 12th and 13th, 92 brace of grouse, besides a few hares and snipe. Mr. James Dixon and party killed on the moor of Innergeldie, on the 12th and 13th, 80 brace of grouse and 10 hares. Mr. J. D. Dewhurst and a friend shot on the hills of Clathiok, on the 12th, 24 brace of grouse, 4 rabbits, and 1 hare. Mr. R. Drummond bagged, on the 12th, at Ardvoirlich, 53 brace of grouse. Mr. R. Ewin Carwin, on the 12th and 13th, killed on Auchnagar rick Hill, 20 brace of grouse. Oa the moors of Lawers, Aberuohill, and Dunira, sportsmen have been very success ful. At Stronvar, Ardoch, Balquhidder, and the Killin dis trict, where the moors have been opened, good bags have been made. On the extensive shooting grounds at Loch earnside, belonging to the Rigbt Hon. Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, grouse anti other kinds of game are abundant, and it is expected that the moors will be opened as soon as the weather will permit. There have been no deer-stalking in the forest of Glenartney yet, but the deer are numerous and in fine condition. The constable said he had seen them lounging about the neighbourhood of Covent garden together from five to eight o'clock that evening. Both prisoners wished to be tried by the magistrate. The woman pleaded guilty. The limn said he was so drunk he did not know what he was doing. Mr. Hall sentenced them to two months' imprisonment. John Reeves was committed for trial for stealing a table knife, value 5d., from Mr. Lloyd's, Enterprize, Long Acre, and having a glass in his possession, supposed to be stolen from some tavern. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT.—A powerful young man named Bastefiel, was charged before Mr. Arnold with the follow ing violent assault. Anne Robertson, of 25, Queen's-row, Chelsea, a female of easy virtue, stated that about one o'clock that morning she was at the King's Arms, Ebury-strset, Pimlico, in con versation with a male friend, when some words arose be tween him and the prisoner, who left the house. He was followed ty her friend, when the dispute continued. She went between them in order to prevent blows, when she was struck a violent blow upon her mouth by the prisoner, which caused a severe injury on her mouth which bled very much. She was knocked down by the blow. She got up and called " Police," upm which he was taken into custody. Police-constable 303 B, said that he was sent for by the landlord of the King's Arms to take the prisoner into custody for causing a disturbance in the house. When he reached the house he was told of the assault by the prisoner, who had run away. Witness went after and Overtook him, and was about to lay hold of him, when he gave witness a very violent blow on the face. Mr. Arnold described the assault as most unprovoked) and said he should punish the prisoner severely. He was sent to prison for 14 days for the assault on the female, and for that on the constable he was fined 408. or in default 14 days. CRIETF.—The accounts from all the moors in this neighbourhood continue to be of the most satisfactory de scription, both in regard to the abundance and fine condi- tion of the grouse. The weather suddenly changed on Fri day morning from being bright and clear to dull and hazy, the rain began to fall in torrents, which continued with little intermission up to Saturday evening. Sportsmen had to beat a hasty retreat from the moors on Friday afternoon, and on Saturday. owing to the soaked state of the ground, and the flooding of the hill streams, few ventured out. In the course of a few hours each day, on the 12th, 13th, and 14th, Messrs. George Lumsden and Muir shot on the moors of Glenturret 114 brace of grouse besides a number of golden hares and plover. At Auchnafree, Messrs. Lascelles and Oliver had capital spot t on the 13th, and on the 14th bagged 145 brace of grouse, besides a large quantity of hares and rabbits.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1863, The Funds of Friendly Societies, The Registrar of Friendly Societies in England, having received from members of such societies numerous complaints of the misapplication of the funds, has thought it right to lay a case before the Attorney-General on the subject.

THAMES. AN OVERSEER IN TROUBLE.—Henry Frisburg Isaacs, a Jew, the landlord of the Prospect of Whitby public house, in Wapping, Lower Shadwell, and overseer of the parish of St. Caul, Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Wool rych on a summons taken out by Inspector Allison, of the division of police, which charged him with having hi s house open for the sale of spirits and beer, and entertaining company therein, not being travellers, contrary to the tenour of his license, and in violation of the Publichouse Act. Henry Wood, a police sergeant, No. 22 H, stated that at 25 minutes past one o'clock on the morning of Sunday, August 9, he was near the Prospect of Whitby, kept by the defendant, who let in a woman at the front doer. He listened and heard the rattling of pots and the jingling of money within the public house. Atter waiting two or three minutes Mr. Isaacs came to th© door and looked out. He then asked Mr. Isaacs if he had any one inside the house, to which he replied, ' No, I have not." He went, into the house and found eight men and six prostitutes in front of the bar. There was a pint pot and a glass each half full of beer on the counter. There was also froth of malt liquor on the counter. He asked who the people were, and the defendant said, " I don't know, take no notice of this." The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that while he was engaged in his private room a man, a common coster mooger, brought a box to the house, and his servant let him in, and at the same time other men came into the house. It was done without his knowledge or consent. Mr. Woolrych—And some women were there —pros titutes, Mr. Isaacs. Mr. Isaacs—Yes, sir; they came in with the men. I served them with nothing. Mr. Woolrych—No doubt they were served with beer. Etas the defendant ever been convicted before? Inspector Allison—Nine years ago the defendant was convicted for a similar offence, and fined 2s. costs. Mr. Woolrych—That is a long time ago, You are fined 2s._ this time. Don't come here again, Mr. Isaacs. Mr. Isaac3—l will not. I am overseer of the pariah, and will not willingly commit any infractions of the law. MARKETS--This Day. HAY MARKETS.

Fortunately there were not the usual number of passengers on board, or the consequences might have been very Serious indeed, and this was to be accounted for by the fact that a strong breeze prevailed, and many persons declined to go with her on that account. It was also most fortunate that the pilot boats were near to render such assistance as was required at the time, and finally to bring the passengers to their homes at Ride and Portsmouth. Yesterday two Jumpers, from Portsmouth Dockyard were along side the vessel, for the purpose of attempting to raise her by passing chains under the bottom, but it was believed by some practi3al men that this would be a work of considerable difficulty. One of those exhibitions of skill in the useful art of swimming, which its promoters in London are trying suc cessfully to popularise, came off last evening. The match was between E. B. Mather, of Manchester, the present holder of the champion's cup, and F. E. Beckwith, of London, well known for the last ten years as a successful swimmer and teacher of the art. The stake was for the champion's cup and £2OO, the course from the Doves, just above Hammersmith Suspension Bridge to the Aqueduct Bridg e at Putney, a distance of two miles. Theo steamers, the Victoria and the River Queen, were chartered to accom pany the race, and both were crowded with the friends and backers of the competitors. The event excited considerable interest along the river—both banks, as well as the Ham mersmith and Pul ney Bridges, were covered with spectators, and in spite of the unfavourable weather a very large num ber of well-filled small boats were out, some bearing what appeared to be a rather dangerous number of passengers. By the exertions of two Thames police galleys, and the boats of the referees and committee of the London Swimming Club, this numerous flotilla was marshalled into something like order, and prevented from fouling the competitors, or putting each other in peril. The start took place from a plank lashed across the bows of the River Queen. Mather, whose victory over Gardner for the champion's cup in June last was recorded in our columns, is a fine well• built young man of 22, who bids fair, when his fully p hysical powers are developed, to be even a finer swimmer than he is at Present. His antagonist, Beckwith, is a man 16 years his senior. Though much less in stature and size than his youthful opponent, he had, with a fine muscular develop ment, a wiry, enduring look that justified the good opinion of his backers. Betting was in his favour at sto 4 before start- Clad ogurleya::rshodordt ig e t be h ira t f y le t r i e n d o before the end of the race sw i mm ing drawers, the men took their stand s on the plank, Mather on the Middlesex. and Beckwith on the Surrey side, and soon after 6.30 p.m., on the signal being given, dived together. Beckwith took the water in rather the best style, coming up a few feet in ad vance. Both men swam rapidly but easily to the bridge, which was passed with Beckwith retaining the slight lead he had won at starting. They swam on their sides, facing each other, in which position the leading hand makes a stroke outward and downward, the other making the stroke along the front of the body, the crown of the head acting as a cutwater, in this position, which is founded on sound philosophical principles, very little of the body is seen above the surface, and the head is supported by being almost en tirely immersed. This style of movement has the negative merit of being exceedingly graceful, and the positive ad vantage of bein g muc h less fatiguing than the ordinary mode, while enabling the swimmer to make much more rapid pr gross. Soon after passing Hammersmith. Mather lessened the gap, and at last swam up even with Beckwith. In this position they remained some time, when Beckwith again drew ahead; but Mather again closed the interval between sheen, This occurred several times, but Ma ther never succeeded in drawing a head of his antagonist. At the end of the first mile, which, with the ebb tide, had been accomplished in a few seconds under a quarter of an hour. Beckwith for the last time drew ahead, widening the distance to a greater extent than he had ever done before. He appeared also to swim more buoyantly than his youth ful antagonist, who struggled gallantly but unavailingly to overtake him This relative position was maintained until within a quarter of a mile of the goal, when Mather, who was 15 or 20 yards in the rear, discontinued the contest, in eenseanence of feeling unwell, and from being hampered by his drawers being disarranged, and 'lves taken into his um pire's boat. Beckwith, amid the cheers of the spectators, continued the race to the bridge. completing the distance in 31 min. 58 sec. On leaving the water he appeared as fresh and lively as if he had done nothing unusual. Mather, on the contrary, bore evident traces of indisposition, from w hich, however, he soon recovered. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF THE RECORDER OF CHICHESTER.—Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester held an inquest at the Middlesex Hospital on Mr. William Melton Bridger, the Recorder of Chichester, and magistrate of Bradford-on-Avon, who met hie death under melancholy circumstances. The deceased, who was a member of the United University Club, had come to town to be under the professional care of Mr. Charles Hawkins, of Saville-row. On Wednesday last he dined at his club, and was walking up Regent street, and when nea r A rgyle _ place one of Chaplin and Horne 's vans was turni ng into it ; the unfor tunate gentleman, being deaf, could not hear the carman, and was knocked down by the pole, and one of the wheels passed over him, killing him on the spot. The driver, Wm. Comte, had been taken before a magistrate and discharged on his own recognisance until after the verdict. He now attended and made a statement. Mr. Humphries appeared for Chaplin and Home. He said Combo had been under medical treatment since the occurrence from excitement. Several witnesses were examined, and it appeared that the accident had occurred from the deceased being deaf, and not from any negligence on the part of the carman. The jury gave a verdict of accidental death, and said there was no blame attached to the caiman. BOBBING AN ACTOR.—While the well-known actor, Mr. Herman Vezin, was enjoying the pleasures of a swimming bath, last Saturday, at the St. George's Baths, Pimlico, some thief entered his dressing box, and emptied his pockets of his purse, gold watch, and chain. The thief got clear off with the booty. GAyLE LICENSES.—It appears from a return just printed that the game licenses last year realised in net tiai.,s year 1802, In several friendly societies the practice prevails of charging under the term "incidental," every expenditure incurred that does not fall on the funds raised for sickness, death, or annuities, and such charges are paid either out of the general fund or the management, or incidental expense fund, for example : In the case of one society, the following items were charged :—Liquor at the monthly meeting, £9 ; band at the anniversary, £6; dinners to persons carrying banners, 6s. 9d. ; donation to Lancashire Relief Fund, £5 ; grant for procession and dinner on the marriage of his Royal High ness the Princess of Wales, £4O. Charges for feasting, and processions at anniversaries,the purchase or hire of banners, ribbons, aprons, and personal decorations of various kinds, for bell-ringing, &c., also occur in the accounts of some friendly societies. QUESTIONS. Your opinion is requested-Ist. Whether any of the funds raised under the authority of the 9th or 25th sections of the act can be legally applied to any of the items of ex penses above mentioned, or to any similar items ? 2d. Whether any of the funds raised under the autho rity of a rule for incidental expenses can be legally applied to any of the items of expense above mentioned, or to any similar items, and whether incidental expenses must not be such as are necessary to, or connected with, the purposes for which the society is established ? 3d. Should the opinion be that neither of the funds can be legally applied to the expenses referred to, can proceed ings be taken under section 24 against the member, or officer, paying away the funds for such purposes, for wilfully applying " the funds to purposes other than those expressed or directed in the rules ?" 4th. Can any member aggrieved at such expenditure being incurred commence proceedings under section 24, as being "a person on behalf of such society," or must the consent of the society be first obtained ; and if that cannot be obtained, can proceedings be taken except by the regis trar, under the 23d and 24th Vic., chap. 58, see. 9 P ANSWERS. Ist. I am of opinion that no part of the funds raised under the authority of the 9th or 25th sections of the act can be legally applied to any of the items of expenses above mentioned, or to any similar items. They are entirely un connected either with:the insurance and relief, ice., men tioned in the 9th section, or with the expenses of manage ment referred to in the 25th. 2d. I think that no part of any funds raised under the authority of a rule for incidental expenses can be legally applied to any of the items of expenses above mentioned, or to any similar items. The expression "incidental ex penses" must be reasonably understood; and, within thos e limits, may receive a liberal interpretation; but it is clear that the meaning cannot be stretched beyond matters ne cessary to, or directly connected with, the main purposes for which the society is established. 3d. Proceedings may be taken against the member or officer paying away the funds for any of these pucposes, pro vided in doing so he is guiity of a " wilful " misapplication of the funds. In order to put the wilfulness beyond a reasonable doubt, I could advise that the attention of the various officers, &c., charged with the custody and disburse ment of the funds, should be pointedly called to the state of the law Ok the subject, and that they should be apprised that future misapplications will be treated as wilful, and punished accordingly. 4th. I am of opinion that no person, other than the registrar, can commence proceedings under section 24,with out the consent of the society to his so doing being first ob tained; but that, independent of any such consent, proceed ings may be taken by the registrar under 23 and 24 Vic., c. 58, s. 9. Wm. ATUERTON. Temple, July 24, 1863. Under the advice of the Attorney-General, as above men tioned, it is the intention of the Registrar of Friendly So cielies in England to take proceedings pursuant to 23 and 24 Vic., c. 58, s. 9, against any officer, &c., of a friendly society, who shall offend against the provisions of the 18th and 19th Vie., c. 63. s. 24. THE FORESTERS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE (Tuts DAY).—During this morning and forenoon the rail way stations at London-bridge and Pimlico presented scenes of much excitement from tbo immense crowds which assem bled at them in order to get to this fits. Every road lead. ing in the direction of the Palace was also much crowded, and although the weather was somewhat threatening, there was an immense muster at Sydenham. A grand procession took place at half-past 1, and at half-past 3 Mr. Coxwell ascended in the Mammoth Balloon, during a display of the Great Fountains. The Palace is to be illuminated in the evening, and everything indicates a successful conclusion to the "great day of the season." EXTRAGRDINARY RETENGE.—Last week some labourers were engaged in cutting a new drain in the bog of Ballyegan, on the bank of the river Brosna, within two miles of this town, and about four o'clock in the afternoon they discovered a coffin about two feet from the surface. The police from the Sharavogue station were sent for, and, on removing the lid, found a body iu the coffin. Information was given to Mr. Heenan, the coroner, and on the following day an inquest was held on the spot where tho remains were discovered. Many rumours were quickly afloat, and the inquest was adjourned. At the ad journed inquest a careful examination of the body (which was partly preserved in the bog) was made by Dr. Woods. The mystery was, however, unravelled on the examination of Mr. John Hackett and a policeman, and o n the production of the constabulary diary at Riverstown. It appears that in the severe year of 1849 the lifeless body of a poor boy was found by the side of a hay-rick, where it was sup posed he sought shelter, and died from the effects of cold and statvation. It was carried to the village of Rivers.. town, and, pending the arrival of the coroner, locked up i n an out-hon.e adjoining the police-barrack. Dating tilt; night the lock of the door was forced open, and the b o d y taken away. It was well known that the sub-constable (M'Alwaine), who had sole charge of the barracks, had rendered himself, shortly before, obnoxious to some bad characters in the neighbourhood, and at the time it was affirmed that four young men adopted this very curious way of getting the policeman dismissed for remissness. They took the body quietly away at night, rowed it up along the Brosna about a mile and a half, and there hastily buried it. The jury, after a very lengthened deliberation, found in accordance with the facts.—Ll4 6 (i 4 Lap ;sr, In this garden at Tiffauges (says Mr. Lowth, in his recently-published " Wanderer in Western France") was a beautiful diminutive chapel standing near the summit—a Gothic chapel. It was quite a little gem of a building. It was of a warm, yellow sandstone, bright and fresh, and stood out all alone in the midst of the flower beds. Not far from this, and crowning the top of the hill, was a long, low white dwelling-house. Returning to the hotel, I inquired to whom belonged the garden and the chapel. "Oh," said Clemente, " you should go and see the Able—he will be charmed to show you his garden and his chapel. He is always pleased if any stranger will pay him a visit." She went on to tell me that the owner of this garden was an Abbe. He was possessed of considerable property, this hill-side forming a part of it. He had now no cure or parish, and he had built this little chapel out of his own funds, and said mass in it whenever he pleased. It had cost him 20,000 francs. He had laid out all the garden himself ; converting a rough, wild piece of ground into what it now was, and had spent 5,000 francs in shrubs and flowers and in making the garden. Naturally I went to pay a visit to the garden-loving Abbe. He was not at home. But his sister was, and sent me a polite message to in vite me to see the garden. On entering the gate I found myself in front of the chapel. The door was open, and the little building empty. Inside, its length was 25 feet, and its breadth 16. The altar end of it was in the form of an apse. Tall, narrow lancet windows lit it from both sides, and these were of stained glass, representing various saints and the virgin, Pius the Ninth, and some coats of arms, Taese latter were slightly incongruous. The ceiling was groined, and the floor was of inlaid tiles, in patterns. The body of the chapel, if one may use such a term for su c h a di m inutive s pace, was quite empty—not a chair or a seat. But near the com munion rail was a Prie-dieu chair, covered with blue and red cloth, as also a good comfortable arm chair, covered with the same material, of the. same colours. The altar within the rail was neat and rich, there being but two pots of flowers on either side the small cross. A more exquisite and luxu rious little chapel I never entered. The sun shone bright and hot upon its floor through the open door and, slantingly, through the stained windows, filling the fairy interior with rich and varied light ; and the buzz of flies, as they sunned themselves on the floor, was the only sound in the quiet place. Two large porcelain plates, filled with some liquid, were on either side the door within, and these were black with the victims of their love for the pleasant things of this world offered them by the thoughtful Abbe. Here the good man came every morning when at home to say his mass to his sloer and small household—though I observed no chairs for the household. If one might judgo of the Abbe by his belongings—his garden and his chapel—he was a man of some taste, and on e who thor oug hl y enjoyed the good things of this life. He was of a family of Mortagne which had been avoeats and medical men for generation!, a thriving and money making family. The Abbe had been brought up to the church, and bad reached a middle age with the reputation of a generous and benevolent man. An uncle had died and left him a fortune. He had settled himself at Tiffauges as an Abbe, without an y church . duty, and was en j oy i ng hi s life of goyim cull thgialate with his garden and his ele gant little chapel and his sister, and doing kind acts by all around him. LIFEBOAT SERVICES..—ABEEDOVEY, CARDIGAN BAY, Monday Night.—Mr. D. Williams, hon. secre tary of the Aberdovey branch of the Royal National Life boat Institution, reports that on Saturday two large barks were making for the harbour, the foremost being towed by a steam tug. It was blowing hard at the time. Owing to there being a considerable fall of water on the bar, and no qualified pilot on board the vessel in tow, she grounded on a sandbank, upon which the other bark dropped ber anchors. Most of the cargo of the stranded vessel was thrown over board to lighten her, but it only caused her to drift further on to the banks, when she turned broadside on to the surf, and is now waterlogged. A portion of the crew reached the shore in one of the ship's own lifeboats. The remaining six of the crew were saved by the Aberdovey lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution. The stranded vessel was the bark Wm. Broroham, of Gloucester. ANOTIIEE " LITTLE WAR" AT CAPE COAST !

During the summer evenings of the last year of last century, i.e., 1800, a number of little boys, after school hours, often met to play at "codgers," in a court or urea on the west side of High-street, nearly opposite the University-buildings. Those youngsters were divided into two squads, or regiments as they were called, of a b out a dozen each, one of them being other commanded by th e wr i ter o f t hi s, an d t h e by a smart comely boy named James Cum ming, who was the only son of his parents ' • he had only one s'ster, who w.a.?. a few y ears older, and was a very pretty, handsome, and livel y , lady, who became a play -actress. Ore exe n 3 :ming n trig rosy-checked littl e b oy, dressed in the High land garb, garb, and named :11'Liv or , appeared in Cum wing's squad. At that period the war of the French R9volution was progressing, and, young as we were, our juvenile minds were much excited by what was seen and heard daily. The marching of soldiers through the streets, the sound of drums and trumpets, and enthusiastic ideas as to the valour of Highland col - diers ; we thought that one of them was a match for at least three Frenchmen. Therefore I said to Cum ming that I wanted the Highland boy to be in my squad, but he replied that he would not give him to me unless I would fight him for the Htelanman and win the battle. It was no sooner said than done, when the two colonels fought in the interven ing space between the squads, they being in line fronting one another. Atter a few fisticuffs, Cum ming said, "Own beat," when I, going to his line, said to the little Highlander, " M'Livor, come over to my squad," which he did without uttering a word, for he was a very quiet, passive boy. The same Colin :11I'Livor entered the junior Latin class at the High, or, as it was then called, the Grammar School of Glasgow (which was founded in the 12th century) on the following 10th day of October, 1800, he being ten days less than eight years old, having been born on 20th October, 1792, the writer of this reminiscence being a few months younger. James Cumming entered th© 71st or Glasgow Highland Light Infantry Regiment as a bugler, fought under Wallington, and was killed in the breach at Badajos when it was captured by storm on Gth April, 1812. After Colin M'Livor had been some years at the Glasgow Grammar School it is believed that he was removed by a maternal uncle to an academy in England. Clyde's name as Colin M.Livor may be seen in the class-roll, which still exists. In the year 1808 Major Campbell, a brave and veteran officer, who had been with the Duke of York on the Continent, in the campaign of 1793.4, called at the Horse Guards, when the Duke, " the soldie:'s friend," said to him, " Major Campbell, can I oblige you in any way ?" " Yes, y our R oyal Highness : I have a nephew who I think might have a commission." " Let us see him," said the Duke ; and on seeing him, said to his secretary, " Enter Mr. Campbell for an ensignancy ;" and on going out the young ersign said, " Uncle, you have en tered the wrong name." "Not at all," said the major, "you are baoked as a Campbell, and a Campbell you shall be." Lord Clyde's father, Mr. John M'Livor, was a native of the Island of I'lall, and died near Granton, aged 94, after his gallant son was raised to the peerage, but prior to his return from India. His mother was a Miss Campbell, whose father was a farmer in the Island of Islay. The field marshal was an honorary burgess of his native city and patron of the Glasgow Native Benevolent Society.

TEE PROJECT OF FEDERAL REFORM, VIENNA, AUG. 15, The semi-official Evening Post doubts the cor.. rectness of the six points, stated by a Frankfort paper to comprise the main features of the Austrian project of Federal Reform. Upon the same subject, the Neue Frankfurter Zeitung says :—" The six points of the imperial project communicated yesterday from an Austrian source are not exhaustive, and do not comprise the latest alterations. At least we are informed that a decision had not been come to on Wednesday in Vienna, whether the Directory should consist of five or seven members, and that the point was again debated on Thursday forenoon. " The Emperor is said to have stipulated that the proposals he should undertake to lay before the Princes should be drawn up in as liberal a sense as possible." LONDON GAZETTE.--This Evening. ST.
