By letters received in the City on Saturday, from the Cape of Good Hope, dated September 28, we are informed of the total loss of an East India trbder, called the St. Mungo, a fine barque, 355 tons burthen, commanded by Captain Lamond, and, what was worse, ten of her unfortunate crew met with a watery grave It appears the melancholy event occurred on the night of the 20th of thlt month (September), on the point of Cape L'Agullas, during a severe gale of wind from the westward. She was on her homeward passage from Calcutta to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to which place she belonged, and had a very rich cargo on board, consisting of merchandise of every description. For several days the weather, it Berms, was exceed ingly stormy, when, on the night h 1 question, the wind blew terrifically, in the height of which the ship, to the consternation of the crew, struck on some rocks, which subsequently proved to be those on the extreme point of Cape L'Agullas. In a few seconds after wards the vessel pitched on her broadside, followed by the mainmast giving way and falling overboard. Whether any of the poor creatures took to the boats or not we are unable to say, but at daybreak ten of the crew were found to be missing, and in the course of the morning it was ascertained beyond a doubt that they had perished. The remainder of the crew were saved. The names of those who were drowned are as fol. lows :—Mr. Thomas Sheppard, first mate; T. W. Milne, second mate; J. Webster, ship's carpenter; ' Joseph Harrison, sailin:ilier; John Thomson, steward, Williams, cook ; 'Thomas Rose, seaman ; Francis Ramerro, seaman ; Robert M'Arther, apprentice ; William Hunter, apprentice. The names of those saved are :—Captain Lamond, master ; William Miller, John Trum an , J ames Jack son, James Fisher, John Frolick, and T. Shank. All tho, sugar has been washed out of the bags. The hip was buit at Glasgow in the year 1839, and, with the cargo, was valued at 60,0001. The loss. it is stated, will amount to 25,0001., of which, we believe no part will fall on any of the metropolitan insur ance companies. DREADFUL WRECK NEAR HARWICH. During the heavy north-easterly gales on Tuesday morning last, a vessel was lost under the most dis tressing circumstances on Langguard East Beach, near Harwich, accompanied with shocking loss of - life. The vessel wai the Hero (a schooner of 180 tons), belonging to Amsterdam, Mr. South, master, to which port she was bound from London. The master, observing the weather was not likely to mo derate, and the gale direct against them, attempted to run into Harwich harbour, but unhappily it proved fatal to the ship, as well as to all (except one) on. board. In running along the coast, past Walton, she struck on the sands called the Andrews, within 200 yards of the coast, upon which she was dashed about with fearful violence by a heavy sea. The crew, seven in number, including the master, took to the rigging, for safety, but the excessive darkness of the night pre vented them beingseen until the ship had almost broken up. The first attracted to the spot were the men belonging to the revenue cutter Scout, quartered at the Ilarwich station, who fired rockets and blue lights, for additional help, but, alas! no life-boat was sent, or any other apparatus, from the adjacent coast guard station. As the vessel was thrown by the waves towards the beach, a man and a boy could be seen clinging to the bowsprit. The principal officer of the Scout endeavoured to save them by a line, which he had contrived to throw over the wreck, by the aid of a common rocket; however, the poor fellows were so benumbed with cold, there being an intense frost, that they were completely powerless, sa that they could not keep a tight hold, and sunk in the boiling surf beneath and perished. All the 'rest met with a similar fate, except one, who was washed ashore, lashed to a spar alive, though in a dreadful state of exhaustion. He still remains in a precarious state. The vessel, by the following morning, was discovered to have gone entirely to pieces, and her cargo strewed for miles along the beach. None of the bodies have yet been found. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EXPORTATION OF PAPER.—Great complaints have been made by the exporters of paper for the Excise draw back, of theinconvenienee to which they are subjected in the casestransferri to the Customs' officers ; the packages, which are gene rally fastened in a secure manner, having to be entirely unpacked just previously to shipment in presence of the shipping searchers, are thereby much deranged, and the value of the property considerably deteriorated. This alteration in the regulations was professedly for the purpose of ascertaining the actual quantity of paper shipped for the drawback, the examining officer on the shipment destroying the official marks on the packages, and making a return of the quantity to the Excise depart • meet, although for what reason this could not be as well performed by the Excise officers themselves on the pre mises of the party, previously to the final racking for shipment, as is done in the case of plate glass, the cases being then and there finally packed for shipment, and sealed, if considered necessary by the Excise, with an official stamp, to prevent the practicability of the pack ages being re-opened, does not very clearly appear. The Customs' authorities are evidently aware of the great in conveniences to which merchants are subjected in conse quence of this new regulation, as well as the almost im possibility of a compliance with it, without serious injury to their property, for in numerous instances have they, on application, allowed the packages to be shipped on a partial examination only, the parties urging that as the paper was closely packed and secured fo r a l ong voyage, the exposure of it to the damp atmosphere at this sea son, in addition to the injury caused by the unpacking of the cases, would so materially deteriorate it, as to render it unfit for the intended purpose. RAILWAY BUSINESS FOR NEXT SESSION. The mere enumeration of the proposed Railways, in the Par liamentary Notices of " New Railway Bills for England, Scotland, and Ireland," is of tremendous length—oocupy ing some nineteen columns of close print. The new rail ways (or extensions, deviations, &c., of existing ones) for England alone amount to no fewer than 195; those for Scotland to 7 ; and those for Ireland, 23—making a total of 235 Bills that are to be introduced next Session, for new lines of railway, lengthening, diverging, or otherwise altering and Improving old lines, &o. The " Eastern Counties" Company alone have given notices, ;lane, &c., for seven Bill s . Th ere are also a "Hu gerford-bridge and Birmingham Junction " (to join at Willesden) ; no fewer than nine lines, one of whose termini is Manchester ; four from Newcastle ; four from Oxford ; five South-Western extension lines, &c. The capital proposed to be raised for these railways is enormous. Two of the Oxford lines alone would cost, according even to present calculation, 4,000,0001. The North Kent would cost 2,200,000/. ; the London and York, 5,000,000!. ; the London and Chatham, and North Kent, 1,500,0001. ; the Leeds and West Riding Junction, 1,200,000/. ; the Direct Northern to York, 4,000,000!. ; the Central Kentish, 2,250,000!. These aro the lowest " estimated" expenses. It is not an unnatural question to put—where can all the money come from for these, in addition to the already countless existing speculations ?

The branch towards Glasgow is not intended to be carried so far as that City, but, at some distance from it, will run-1, into certain mineral railways belonging to separate Companies, and constructed originally for the purpose of conveying coals to the high levels on the north side •f Glasgow ; and 2, into another projected line, called the Clydesdale Junction, which is intersied to convey minerals and passengers to the low levels on the south side of Glasgow. This complicated plan will be best understood by reference to the accompanying Map. In contrasting this scheme with that of which the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is intended to' form a part, your Committee feel bound to consider, preferably, their bearing on the general interests of the country. to condense, into as short a space as possible, the remaining points which it is essential they should bring before you. You will recollect that the original rough estimate of the cost of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, was at the rate of 13,000/. per mile. Mr. Miller, your engineer, has not eel:spirted the detailed plans of the works, so as to enable him to say whether any reduction can be made upon the estimate, but he assures your Committee that there is no chance of its being exceeded. The amount, therefore, which will be required to finish your line, will be under 1,200,000/. Of this sum above four-fifths have been sub.. scribed and paid en, being more than is required by the Standing Orders in Parliament to entitle your Bill to pass, even if you apply for your whole line from Kilmarnock to Carlisle ; whilst, if your Committee shall, on mature consideration, consent to the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company proceeding with their Bill, to the effect of taking power to execute the portion of the Line between Kilmarnock and Cumnock, under an obligation to convey it or lease it in perpetuity to you, if you desire it, the amount which has been subscribed will be considerably more than is required. In these circumstances, your Committee have resolved not to issue at present any additional shares. Your Committee have had very satisfactory communications from !nest of the proprietors of land along the railway. They have also received assurances of support from many of the Corporations in the west of Scotland, and particularly from the towns of Duni. fries and Annan, in which both the magistrates and inhabitants have resisted various attempts to draw them off, and have unani mously declared in your favour. The counties of Ayr, Renfrew, and Kircudbright, have also passed resolutions approving of your line. ANGEL INN, ANGEL-STREET, TWO DOORS FROM THE POST OFFICE, SHEFFIELD.

First.—The length of the Caledonian Railway, excluding the Castlecarry Branch, which is said to be about eight miles long, is stated in the Prospectus, as being 112 miles, and the cost is there estimated at 1,800,000/. In a subsequent report, published by the promoters, it is stated, that, " In consequence of savings on other parts of the line, the Castlecarry extension of the Caledonian Line can be constructed without exceeding the capital upon which the Prospectus proceeded." rut, even after allowing this correction of the original estimate, of the accuraey •f which your Committee have no means of judging, and without attempting to calculate the expense of a proposed branch of about 15 miles long to Dumfries, and of widening the guage, and otherwise altering the mineral lines before mentioned, or the expense of the Clydesdale Junction Line, which practically forms a part of the scheme, it would appear that the single line of international communication proposed by the Caledonia■ Company, would, without accommodating any important local traffic, actually cause at expenditure of upwards of 500,000/. more than the whole sum that would be required for completing the two trunk lines of communication which your Cora. mittee have already pointed out. Secondly.—Your Committee beg to refer you to the Comparative Table of Distances on the accompanying Map, from which you will observe—l. That the North British Railway, in connexion with the projected lines from London to York, and from Newcastle to Berwick, affords the shortest communication from London, Leeds, Hull, and Newcastle, to Edinburgh and Stirling; and that, not only by the Fife Line, but even by the Scottish Central Rail. way, which would be reached by the Ee:nburgla and Glasgow Railway, it forms the shortest route from Loudon and the important towns above mentioned to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. I. That the Edinburgh, Hawiek, and Carlisle Railway affords the shortest line from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, &c., to Edinburgh ; and, in connexion with the Fife and Northern Lines, to Perth, Dundee, and ♦berdeen. 3. That the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is the shortest route from London and the whole of England to Dumfries, Kirkcudbright, Port. Patrick, for the north of Ireland, Kilmarnock, and Ayr ; and that, allowing fur the superiority of its gradients over those of the Caledonian Line, on the principles of comparison established by the Royal Commissioners in their Report of 1841, it affords the shortest communication, in point of speed and economy, with Paisley and Greenock. The only disadvantage, in point of distance, is in the case of Glasgow; in regard to which, however, on the principles laid down in the Commissioners' Report, the difference between the two lines is reduced to 13i miles, •r less than half an hour in point of time.

Those who burn these are recommended to make one trial whether PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES do not give so much more light as to be in reality cheaper.

In 1840 Mr. Locke prepared on amended plan, whereby his gradient of I in 75 was to some extent improved, but to accomplish this he was obliged to have recourse to severe cutting and banking, which would, of course, add proportionally to the expense of the line. + The summit is only 600 feet. f The total population on the line between Glasgow and Car lisle, by Dumfries, including the termini, is 190,206. GENERAL 'r OM THUMB. The AMERICAN MAN in MINIATURE will return to London and hold his PUBLIC LEVEES at the Gallery, in Suffolk street, Pall-mall, commencing Monday, December 'IS, and continuing through the holidays, after which he leaves for the Continent. The General has been visiting the principal towns In England, Scotland, and Ireland, and has met with unprecedented success. Whilst in Edinburgh the General was presented with a beautiful Highland dress, of the Royal Stuart Tartan, manufac. turecl by Messrs. Meyers and Mortimer, in which he will appear at each exhibition, in addition to his Citizen, Napoleon, and Court dress. Hours of Exhibition from Eleven to One, Three to Five, and from Seven to Nine. Doors open half an hour previous. Admission (regardless of age), One Shilling. The General's new and elegant carriage, drawn by two of the smallest ponies in the country, with coachman and footman in splendid liveries, will pass through the principal streets daily. Thirdly.—The sections of the Caledonian, and Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Lines, not having been deposited, it is impossible as yet to speak accurately on the subject of gradients. It is quite certain, however, that the gradients of the former will be inferior to those of the latter. The following are quotations from a report made on the comparative merits of the two lines by Mr. Locke, the engineer of the Caledonian Railway, in 1836. In speaking of what is new called the Caledonian Line, he says, " lat first directed my attention to this route, which, as far as Beattock bridge, near Moffat, I found tolerably favourable; in proceeding farther, however, the valley for several miles rises very rapidly, until reaching the summit near Elvanfoot, where it attains the height of neatly 1,000 feet above the level of the sea—Beattock-bridge, which is only 10 miles distant, being only about 300 feet above the level of the sea. In 10 miles, then, the rise is nearly 700 feet, which, supposing it to be uniform the whole way, would give an inclination of 1 in 75.'' Net wishing to recommend a line having such a plane," &c. But in speaking of the line by Dumfries, Mr. Locke says—" Of the levels of this route, I may say, that from Carlisle to Dumfries, about thirty miles, the only inclinations will be these which it may be desirable to encounter for the purpose of saving money, those two towns being nearly on the Cams level. With the exception of the bridges across the Rivers Eden, Esk, Sark, and Annan, which will neither be high nor very long, no very considerable outlay will be required. The ground in some parts is undulating, but not so as to render the formation of the road either difficult or expensive." And again, with reference to the portion of the line between Dumfries and Thornhill, he says The levels in this part extending over a space of almost forty iniles,t will be nearly uniform, and gradually ascending for the whole distance ; and with the exception of a short length of about miles, about 1 in 180, I do not believe there will be a greater inclination than what is generally admitted in farming railways in England." And, is regard to the rest of the line, he says, that " although undulating, the road will not, I should think, be unfa vourable far locomotive engines." N.B.

Fourthly.—The population of the parishes intersected by the Caledonian Railway, from the point where it leaves the route of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway at Gretna, to the point where the branches diverge at Lanark, a distance of about sixty. five miles, is, Calesionian Line While the population on your line, between the sante point gad Kilmaraock, is .. 52,401 The population of the parishes on the two branches leading to Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively, including those on the Clydes dale Junction Lice, as contrasted with the population of theparishes which lie up the West of Scotland Railways, at present terminating at Kilmarnock, and their proposed branches (excluding, however, in both cases, the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, wisioti would be alike accommodated by the two schemes), would be, Caledonian Branches ... ..„ 125,968 West of Sootlanai Railways Difference 76,576 The total population e■ the Caledonian Line, and on the Glass gow, Dumfries, and Carlisle, and Edinburgh, Hawick, and Carlisle Lines (excluding, as before, the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and that part of the line south of Gretna. common to both), is, On Caledonian Railway On Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle 2tai1way,#2.83,230 On Hawick Line Difference 195,551 The particulars of each of these calculations are annexed to this Report, so that there may be no possibility of doubt on the subject. Fifthly.—With regard to traffic, your Committee are now enabled to speak with more confidence, in consequence of having, since the date of their Prospectus, taken measures to ascertain its amount accurately, both on your own and on the Caledonian Line. The result is, that upon the line of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Car lisle Railway, the thorough and local traffic, taken together, is suf ficient t• ensure an adequate return; but the thorough traffic be tween Glasgow and England, including, of course, what passes along the road by Beittock, as well as what passes by the other great road from Kilmarnock to Carlisle, is quite insufficient to do so. It amounts to not more than 40 per cent, of the whole traffic which will pass along your line. Were the whole of this trans. (erred, without competition, to the Caledonian Line, on which the local traffic is trifling, it would not yield interest on its cost. Your Committee do not feel any hesitation in speaking of the small amount of local traffic on the Caledonian Line, because their statement is confirmed by the recorded opinion of the Royal Com missioners, already quoted ; and no one who has travelled along the Beattock-road between Carlisle and Glasgow, by daylight, will fail to remember that there are from twenty to thirty miles where the eight of a cottage or a human being is a rarity. Your Committee are aware that much reliance is placed by the Caledonian Company on their prospect of traffic from the north of Scotland to England, by means of their connexion with the projected Central Railway front Stirling to Perth. The Table of Comparative Distances, to which your attention has already been directed, will enable you to judge how far this traffic, whatever its amonnt may be, is likely to pass along the Caledonian Line, which is more cir cuitous than either the North British or Ilawick Lines. But, in point of fact, the number of persons who travel south from Stirling_ shire or Perthshire, without having occasion to visit Edinburgh and Glasgow on their way, is extremely small. Indeed, most of you are probably already aware, that although there is a direct turnpike.. road, laid out by the late Mr. Telford, between Carlisle and Stir ling, there is not a single stagecoach or pul.lie conveyance upon it, and it is deeply in debt. On the other band, with reference to the general prospect of traffic on your own line, the following passage in the Report of Mr. Locke, in 1836, may be interesting to you :—" Of the advau tage to all the towns in Scotland, through or near to which this line will pass, no adequate idea can bo formed. They exist iu the most favourable part of Scotland, requiring only a cheap means of trans. port to develope the many resources they possess. Several of these towns have already grown into some importance; and it shoUld ho an object with the proprietors of the soil, and with the manufac. tuners of the district, to encourage the formation of a road like the one proposed, so as to extend to them the benefits which it is capable of affording." Sixthly.—There are various other points in regard to which the superior advantages offered by the Edinburgh, Ilawiek, and Car lisle Railway, and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, require only to be briefly indicated. (1.) The former will open up a connexion between the counties of Berwick, Selkirk, Peebles, and Roxburgh, and the north-west of England, and south-west of Scotland. These Scotch smarties already combine the highest state of agricultural improvement, with a growing woollen manu facture. (l) In the neighbourhood of La»gholm there aro very rich seams of coal which are at present landlocked, but the produce of which the Ilawick Line will be the means, not only of bringing to tho coast, but also of carrying farther into the interior, which is at present suffering from the want of it. (3.) The Dumfries Line, by giving a communieation both from the south and north, with dim seapeit of Annau, affords to the whole of that district of country the means of communication with the best harbour on the upper part of the Solway Frith. (4.) The Caledonian Line would, even if a branch were made to Dumfries, afford very inferior ae. corer:iodation to that town, and to the counties of Kircudbright and Wigton, from which a large number of cattle are at present sent, partly by sea and partly by land, to England. (5.) The Caledonian Line would, in like manner, afford a very inferior communication between the north of England and the north of Ireland, either by way of Pert Patrick or the seaports on the coasts a ofless Ayrshire. (Lastly.) The Caledonia n Railway would place in advan. tageous position the whole population of the counties of Ayr and Renfrew, which, together, contain 310,428 inhabitants, being more than twice as many as the whole of Lanarkshire, exclud ing Glasgow. After the details which have now been given you, you will not be surprised to hear that the Caledonian Railway, while it receives a certain degree of support from the promoters of the Scottish Cen. tral Railway, is opposed by ainto.t all the other railway interests in Scotland, including the Edinburgh and Glasg ow, the North Brmfries, itish, the Glasgow, Paisley, Ki lmaruock, and Ayr, tGlasgow, Du and Carlisle, and the lines extending through Fifeshire to the north of ficotlane.: Indeed, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company have the strongest interest, and, at the same time, the strongest Parlia mentary grounds for opposing the Caledonian scheme, in conse quence of the two forks of the latter undertaking being so laid out as to form a competing line for the traffic between Edinburgh and Glasgow, not more than eight or nine miles longer than the direct route, and thus falling under the class of schemes which the Select ConsrOittee House of Commons on Railways last session de nounced as unjustifiaiaq: being a railway (to use their own wo " which, if it is to rosolille rate the proprietors at all, can only remunerate them by means of file Ostracti" of traffic, which is already, for all substantial purposes, equally a"° "lodated by some existing railway." Your committee regret much the length to which their ob servations on the liierits of your line, and those with which it has ill endeavour been pieced in competition, ha n gs elaended.

STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, DEC. 13.—A some whst larger amount of business has baen done in foreign wool this week than during the preceding fortnight, and prices, if anything, in low and middle qualities, evince rather a rising tendency. ENGLISII WOOL MARKET. LEEDS, DEC. l 3.—There is a firmness in this branch of trade, and the tendency of prices is upwards. The manufacturers buy cautiously, and complain that the present prices of goods are below the proportion of the rates at which they are obliged to buy wool to supply their present limited consumption. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 13. —There still continues an animated demand for all deep combing wools, and the turn is in favour of the seller, and this has imparted more confidence in the buyers of the bet'er description of combing wools, as well as in those of short wools. LEEDS.—The markets at both our cloth halls have been of much the same dull character as the markets of last month, with little probability of any material improve ment till after Christmas. The stocks, however, in the hands of the manufacturers are moderate, and they are acting with caution by curtailing their operations. Prices are steady. There have been very few buyers in the town daring the week, but from the severity of the wea ther there has been a better demand for winter goods than for same weeks past; with this exception, business is dull in finishedgoods, and the fo:.eign houses are very still. BRADYORD MARKET, I)Kc. 12.—There is nothing dif leve.t in tbo wool trade since our last report, either in uems.ud or prices. Yarns are still produced in very re duced quali,h-z--, .ennlv the immediate wants of con sumei-.3. Stocks are not increaa... s , r _ More piece goods have been sold during the week and to-day than we have heard of for several weeks past. The prices still continue so ruinously low, that there is no disposition to relax the tringent measures adopted by the manufacturers. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We do not im prove in our cloth market ; on the contrary, we are retrograding, and this bas been more evident since Tuesday, as shown by a more anxious desiro to sell by many manufacturers. This state of things has in some measure been brought about by the closing of some of the important continental rivers, so that we need not expect any improvement for some weeks to come. Our home demand is on the whole good, but not large. In yarns we are decidedly flat, with lower prices. The continental demand having in general subsided, spinners will be compelled either to stock for a while, or to sub mit to lower rates.—Leeds Mercury. REDUCTION OF THE TIIREE PER CENT. RE DUCED ANNUITIES. A few months since it was noticed, under this head, that, providing the political horizon remained unclouded, and the Money Market free from anything like disturb meat, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not hesi tate to propound to Parliament in the ensuing session a measure for the purpose of reducing the interest on the Three per Cents. Reduced Annuities. An evening Con temporary yesterday had a paragraph to a full extent confirmatory of such being the intention of Mr. Goul burn. The amount of stock to be dealt with on the pre sent occasion, should the Government resolve upon so bold a measure, is not less than 195,359,0001. The total Three per Cent. debt of the United Kingdom, but which it is not likely would be all touched at once, is 515,150,0001., viz., debt due to the South Sea Company, 3,662,7841. ; Old South Sea Annuities, 3,497,870/. ; ditto, New, 2,460,8301. ; ditto of 1751, 523,1001. ; debt due to the Bank of England, 11,015,100/. ; Bank Annuities of 1726, 817,0711., Consols 367,813,964/., and Reduced Three per Cents., 125,359,5561. With the success that has attended the reduction of the Three-and-a-Half to Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., and with such a sur plus of floating capital as now exists, it is the opinion of many of the influential persons in the City that the Minister may succeed, should a guarantee be given, as ao doubt it will, that no further reduction will be at tempted for twenty years. So vast are the accumula tions of capital, and so low is the rate of interest in com mercial circles, that with a sacred promise of the de scription named, it is not thought there would be such a number of dissentients as would baffle the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It will be recollected that in the scheme for the reduction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. the promise was held out that for ten years the interest should not be lowered beyond 34 per cent., and from that forward for ten years more not below 3 per cant. But, it is said, as oppored to such a plan being carried out, that there are weans of employment for money in railroads, &c., much more profitable. This, to a very considerable extent, is most unquestionably true ; but it should be borne in mind that there aro immense masses of wealth locked up in trusts, which must remain invested in the Funds, let the reduction of the rate of interest be carried out or not,; and when it is recollected how successful have been for mer steps of this kind to reduce the national obligations —such as the translation of the Navy Five per Cents., the Four per Cents., and, lastly, the Three-and-a-Half per Cents.—little doubt is entertained that the next pro position in the same direction will be fully carried out. And it must also be stated that the dissentients to the last conversion now deeply regret the course that they took when the proposal first was circulated by the au thority of the Ministry, as the New Stock has been greatly in demand—indeed, so much so, that it has reached a price full three per cent. above par.—Observer. AWFUL EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.—In the after noon of Friday, the 20th ult., six persons were drinking together in a public-house in CriefE One of them, Anthony Culbert, a man in the prime of life, within half an hour after leaving the public-house, dropped down and expired. Another, William Robertson, millwright, advanced in years, managed to get home, but shortly thereafter was observed to be seriously ill. In the case of the former the stomach pump was applied, but to no effect, inasmuch as life had been extinct for some time before its application. In that of the latter it was hoped its application would have been followed by happier con sequence ; but no ! he lingered apparently in great suf fering till half-past two o'clock next morning, when he expired. The general impression seems to be that death, in both cases, was caused by the quantity of cold whisky each had swallowed—said to have be en not l ess than sixteen glasses each, and that in the short space of an hour ! We have not heard of any 01 the other mem bers having been seriously affe cted.—Edinburgh Even ing Post.

" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.
