The writer states that he has been long rough connected with the Brotherhood to be en 1-,rusted with its greatest secrets, but, although a Fenian, he cannot stand by and see innocent blood shed for the sake of a few. Re had, therefore, resolved to acquaint the authorities at Warwick that a gang of desperate men would be in that town before Saturday morning, some of whom would alight from the train at Leamington and pass into Warwick by road, so as not to excite suspicion. The band altogether would consist of about twenty-four of the stoutest patriots of the Brotherhood, and some of them would carry cans of Nebel's fire, their object being to fire some of the principal buildings in the town, and, while the conflagration that would thus be occasioned engrossed the attention of the police and the soldiers, to att- the gaol and endeavour to effect the release of the Fenian prisoners there incarcerated. They possessed a plan of the gaol, and would be well armed. The writer added that he knew he ran the risk of being denounced by the Brotherhood as a traitor, but they would first have to discover who had betrayed their nefarious design. The superintendent of police immediately communicated with the deputy-mayor, and, although it was felt that the letter might be a hoax, yet it was not deemed prudent to neglect the warning it purported to convey. Steps were accordingly taken to prepare for any emergency that might arise, and to obtain early information of any suspicious characters being in the neighbourhood, The deputy-mayor telegraphed to stations along the railway, asking for information to be sent immediately if any band of men left the train whose appearance was calculated to arouse suspicion ; the mili• tary 'Jted with the nature oi the warning • that had been received; and the K?ice of the surrounding district, with the borough forye,' were directed to be °nth.. alert.

Now ready, in 2 vols., Svo., with Portrait, SPIRITUAL WIVES. By W. HEPWORTH DIXON, now, as explained in my previous letter, a solid block of ice, and the waste will, it is confidently expected, amount to a very small percentage on arrival. There is yet one more curious little box to notice inside the icehouse—perched up in one corner, like a swallow's nest, under over hanging eaves, it is securely protected, and contains one dozen eggs of the pure Dorking fowl, presented by A. D. Harrison, Esq., of Cuckfield. This is an idea of Mr. Youl's for " economic aviculture" in a colony, and why should not the development of a bird's egg be ar rested by the application of r.!old, as has been suc cessfully accomplished with a fish's egg? If it is succe-sful, what a triumph in the work of acclima tisation ! How easily and cheaply may the trans portation of game be effected by the simple ap pliance'of ice to the egg, when in many cases (black game and grouse for instance), it is next to impos sible to transport :the living bird. The result of this experiment, chanticleer or no chanticleer, will be of universal interest, second only to the success of the salmon. C. F.

CLADLES. —If you do not want your candles exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE," or their "SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM," or "BELMONT WAX," or their "BEST," "No. 2," " No. 3, " or " BATTE RSEA" COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent Paraftine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Paraffine, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their "BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Paraffine Candles. The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally. PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The "Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy soap to use. "PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burninc , in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre ciated, as not to need any special notice here. LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM. —AN EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient consumption. It fre quently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the tickling which provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption its effects are truly be neficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief in a few minutes after tak ing it. Prepared only and sold by W.

STALE OF TRADE. (From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Jan.ls.) The advices from New York by the City of Boston aro to the 3d instant ; they report activity in the money market, but without any pressure, and greater ease was anticipated in consequence of the large amount of both gold ttud currency coming into the hands of the public from payment of dividends on the public funds, and railroad and other companies. In addition to this, repayment of the Six per Cont. Bonds maturing on the 31st of December had commenced. This loan, which amounted to over fourteen million dollars, is the third instance since the commencement of the war in which the Government have redeemed maturing debt in gold. United States Stocks were sloady, notwithstanding the receipt of some largo amounts of bonds from this side. In railroad stocks the chief feature was the large opera tions in Rock Island, which had declined five dollars on its transpiring that the president of the road had been offi cially a seller of stock to a very largo amount, in order to bring up the amount outstanding to 14 millions. Railroad mort3ages were steady, without much inquiry. ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD. When the Six per Cent. (so called Sterling) Bonds of this company were first issued, the public Were invited to sub scribe for them at the rate of 4s. 2d. per dollar, the. pros pectus stating that the interest would be paid in London at that rate, and the principal in like manner; but, unfor fortunately, no statement of this kind, as far as regards principal, appeared on the face of the bond. It was not surprising, therefore, that, when during the war the premium on gold had reached 120 to 130 per cent., holders became anxious as to whether, at maturity, should the currency remain in the debased condition it was then, they would be paid off according to the terms of the original prospectus, or simply the amount in the currency of the couut►y, as stipulated on the bond. The directors felt that they were in some difficulty, as, though they were determined to keep faith with the bond holders, any shareholder ;night obtain an, injunction re ' straining them from paying off the bonds otherwise than in currency. It was clear the terms of the old bonds could not be altered, so to overcome this difficulty the only plan that could be devised was to offer to exchange the old bends for new ones created under a general mortgage of the entire prop3rty of the company (subject only to the Construction Bonds then out), the new bonds to state on the face of them that they were payable in London at the rate of £2OB Gs. Bd., in lieu of $l,OOO. Several bondholders availed themselves of this offer at the time, but the larger proportion held back, not clearly understanding the nature of the proposal. The time has now arrived, when the directors are desirous to have this matter finally set 4 led, and as the plan proposedrenders the payment in sterlingbeyond question, we advise our friends to effect the exchange at once, as we are given to understand the option will shortly be withdrawn. We shall gladly take care of the exchange of Bonds for such of our friends as may entrust them to us—free of any charge. While upon the subject of the mortages of this com pany, we would draw attention to the Six per Cent. Currency redemption, created under the same mortgage as the Sterling Bonds. Some three :years back, when the directors called in three million dollars of the Seven per Cent. Construction Bond-, to be paid off at 120 per cent., in conformity with the terms on the face of the bonds, they offered either that rate in currency, or to give in exchange for them Redemption Six per Cont. Bonds, at the rate of 105 per cent., and the remaining 15 per cont. in cash. Holders to a large extent availed themselves of the latter alternative, so that there are now outstanding $2,600,000 of these Bonds. In any future investment we should suggest to our friends the advisability of taking these instead of the Constitie tion Bonds, as they are relatively cheaper, and are not liable to be called in before 1875, when they would have to be paid at 110. After that period the directors are bound to give me year's notice if they wish to redeem them before maturiry in 1890, and the same premium, 10 per cent., would have to be paid. The cost of $lO,OOO Seven per Cent. Construction Bonds at 79, present price, would be £177 lOs ; annual income, say at 2s. 9d. per dollar, £96 ss. ; cost of $12,000 Six per Cent. Redemption Bonds at 64, £1,728 ; annual income, say at 2s. 9d. per dollar, £99 ; so that the investor would increase his holding by $2,000, and his income £2 15s. per annum, and save £49 10s. in capital. The above calculation is at the present high rate of ex change, but if it should return to anything like its nominal state, the difference would be still more in favour of the Redemption Bonds, which even now yield to the investor 5.73 per cent. per annum. The business of the road seems to be in a very satisfac tory state, the land sales being large, and the traffic re ceipts increasing. We understand the earnings for De cember will show an increase over corresponding month in 1866 of about $70,000. The London market for American Government Secu rities has during the past week been influenced by con flicting causes, the premium on gold in New York having gradually advanced more than 5 per cent., while at the same time United States Bonds have improved nearly 2 per cent. The natural effect of these would have been to depreciate the bonds about $2, but compared with last week our latest quotation for 5-20's, 71 to 4, shows a decline of only / per cent. The price here is now relatively /to higher than in New York, while last week it was just so much beneath quotations on the other side. The 1865 issue maintain their usual proportion to the 1862'5, being just 1 per cent. lower. Illinois Central Shares close 811 to 85 ex dividend which is equivalent to a fall of about ono half per cent. Eries remain with but little alteration at 47/ to 481. There has been a marked improvement in Atlantic and Great Western First Mortgage Bonds ; they have advanced fully three per cent., and the Consolidated Bonds, on more inquiry, participated in the upward move ment, having touched 23, but from the highest point there has been some reaction, and they leave off 21 to 22. Certificate of Debenture, after rising to 26, lose 21, to 231 showing but little alteration from the quotations of a week ago. (From Messrs. Belding, Keith, and Co.'s Circular.) FRIDAY, Jan. 17. The price of American Securities has fluctuated during the week with the rise and fall of gold in New York ; while, at the same time, United States Bonds have ad vanced in New York with the rise in gold. The latest quotation by cable is the closing price of yesterday : Gold, 1391; 5-20 Bonds, 1882, 1091. 5-20 Bonds, 1882, open here this morning at 711 72, a rise of three-quarters per cent. during the week, touching the lowest point on cmturaay, ./of ; 5-20's, 18150, nnyti 0f..4,;.uva one percent: lower than those of 1882, opening at 701 71; 10-40's open at 671 68, or a decline of one-half per cent. since last Thurs day. Illinois Shares are quoted 841 831 ox div., or almost the same as last week's. Erie Shares, 471 481, a fall of one per cent. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures and Consolidated Mortgage Bonds open at 221 231 and 21 22 respectively, the former being an advance of one-half per cent., and the latter three per cent. on last Friday's quotations ; on Monday last they were quoted at 26 and 23 respectively. This rise has been attributed to the election of a new board of American directors. (Front Messrs. Bowles, -Brevet, and Co.'s Circular.) PARIS, Jan. 17, 1868. The general market still continues to present few features of interest. United States Bonds are lower. The continued advance in gold is exercising au unfavourable influence.

SHIPMENT OF SALMON OVA TO NETT' ZEALAND. (From Land and Water.) The shipment of ova, per Celestial Queen, hav ing been successfully completed, it may be interest ing to your readers to know the total quantity shipped, the localities whence the ova were ob tained, and a few other particulars in connection with this first experimental shipment of fish direct to New Zealand. In my last letter I stated that 130 boxes had been deposited in the icehouse up to the 4th instant; since then we have shipped 204 additional, making in all 334 boxes, the particulars of which are as follows: Boxes. Estimated Quantity. 187 Severn ova tee 118,000 • 68 Irish 69 Scotch 56,000 1 Wye 315 Boxes salmon ova 220,000 9 „ sea trout from the Hodder._ 7 „ Salm° untbla from Sehliersee, Bavaria 9,000 3 „ River trout from Lord Essex 1,500 234,500 I beg to call particular attention to the seven boxes of Salnzo unzbla from Bavaria, which have been obtained through the personal exertion of your correspondent, E. V. Lindon, Esq., under very great difficulties, and I beg to return him my best thanks on behalf of the Otago Government for his assistance in procuring so valuable an addition to our shipment. I feel satisfied the Salmo umbla will be peculiarly well adapted for the extensive New Zealand lakes, and I hope Mr. Lindon will take an early opportunity of diffusing his information re specting this valuable fish, with a view to its suc cessful culture in our colony. I must not forget to mention particularly four boxes of salmon and trout ova, which have been most handsomely presented free of all expense, viz., one box salmon ova from Frank Buckland, Esq., and three boxes brown trout ova from Lord Essex. My best thanks are most heartily tendered to his lordship and Mr. Buckland, on behalf of the Go vernment, for the warm interest they have ex hibited in the piscicultural prosperity of New Zealand. Nor must I omit to mention the very handsome way in which Boards of Conser vators and proprietors have responded to Mr. Youl's appeal for assistance, which they have most readily accorded, and without which it would have been impossible to obtain a single ovum. Allow me through your columns, to thank them for the liberality and sympathy which they have exhibited for colonial advancement. Of the 334 boxes, 174 lie on the grating floor of the icehouse ; the re mainder are deposited on the top of the ice tightly wedged against the ceiling. It may be said, why not have a middle tier of boxes in the centre of the ice ? Mr. Youl replies, and his theory is sound, that the admission of air or a foreign substance between the blocks of ice will facilitate its melting, an ope ration which we wish particularly to avoid. It is So much for the ova business. But I cannot conclude this part of my report without special refe rence to the service of my friend and coadjutor, Mr. Jas. A. Youl. When I firstiboposetto him -the undertaking, he in the most' , - heral manner volunteered his gratuitous assistance to carry out the views of the Otago Government, and I have no hesitation in saying that without his personal services, founded on the success of.past.experience, I should not have ventured on the heavy pecuniary involved in the undertaking. I cannot speak in too high praise of the zeal and untiring energy, which at very great personal inconvenience, he has displayed throughout the whole business—in the careful construction of the i ce h ouse ; i n th e arrange ments made for prese rv i ng th e ova , i n pac ki ng al most every single box with his own hands ; and in seeing the precious freight carefully and securely deposited in the icehouse. What assistance I have been able to render has been entirely under Mr. Youl's direction. To him, and to him only, the success of the experiment, as regards the safe arri val of living ova (which we devoutly wish) must be ascribed; and I doubt not the Government, which I have the honour to represent, will award him the merit which he has justly earned. Meanwhile, I sincerely thank him for his invaluable services and kindness to myself. Through the kindness of Higford Burr, Esq., of Aldermaston Park, and S. Ponder, Esq., of Hamp ton, I have been presented with live tench from the former, and gudgeon from the latter, for the Accli matisation Society of Otago. The gudgeon will be placed in a barrel swung up on deck, and the tench (also some carp which I have procured) will swing in glass globes. All these will be under charge of Mr. Dawbin, who is supplied with a freezing ma chine to keep down the temperature of the water in the tropics, and by this means, together with an ample supply of water, I am sanguine enough to hope, under Mr. Dawbin's judicious treatment, that the Otago lakes, ponds, and slow-running rivers, will be soon well stocked with these well-known and useful English fish. And now to conclude with the last, though not least valuable item, which sums up the shipment of the " Celestial Queen." I mean Mr. Frank Buck land's very handsome presentation (in addition to the series of salmon ova previously sent out) of casts to the Acclimatisation Society of Otago. These comprise-1. A fresh-run salmon, 321 b ; 2. A salmon, opened to exhibit ova ; 3. A kelt, or foul salmon ; 4. A brace of tench ; 5. A brace of brown trout ; 6. A Thames trout. I feel sure my fellow colonists will appreciate this unlooked-for presenta tion as much as I do myselt, 'AMA it will lead to the tun cultivation of the science of pisciculture, by being made the basis of a museum, to which may be added specimens of fish, and general subjects of natural history in New Zealand. And why should not a useful interchange of thought, through such an illustrating medium, be established between the mother country and her offspring ? THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The mails from South America per Royal Mail steamer Seine, which have been delayed so long, have at last arrived. The news from the River Plate and the seat of war for the last fortnight comprised, according to the Buenos Ayres Standard, a list of desultory but sanguinary engagements, in which, without any real advantage being obtained by either party, hundreds have perished. By this mail we learn some more particulars of the battle of November 3d, in which the Paraguayans destroyed nearly the whole of Tujuti, the fortified camp of the Allies. The loss of the Allies was very heavy, and their confidence was so much shaken that now they are fortifying themselves strongly on every point, fearing another surprise, which the move ments of Marshal Lopez gave them every reason to suspect, and which, if carried out successfully, would jeopardize the very existence of the Allied forces. Every one who could has left Tujuti ; all the ships in port have moved south, out of reach of the batteries, as Tujuti could not stand a second assault without being strongly reinforced, of which for some time to come there is little hope. The Allies have, it is reported, fortified themselves at Tayi, believing that through the occupation of that point they would intercept the communication be tween Hu maita and the capital, Assumption ; but this is not the case, as Gen. Lopez has still the river, and has opened a communication by a southern route, which is entirely free to the Paraguayans, as they have retaken the town of Pillar. Each day proves to the Allies how little they know of the resources of the Paraguayans, who after a three years' struggle show as yet no signs of giving in, but, quite the contrary, are determined more than ever to defend to the last their country and their Government. The news from the interior provinces of the Argentine Con federation are similar to those received for the last year, and the rebellion is not yet overcome. The rebel chief Varela has taken 1,200 men, and one million dollars from Salta, and invaded the neigh bouring provinces. Several of the interior provinces have protested against political acts of the National Government, and called upon General Urquiza to take the Government into his own hands. Besides these disturbances, the Indians on the Cordoaese and Santa Fe frontiers are very troublesome, and have destroyed large amounts of property. Busi ness all over the Confederation has been very dull, and wool, the great staple, has fallen 50 per cent. in price. The city of Buenos Ayres is perhaps the only place which does not feel so much the depressed state of the country, as almost all the military stores are shipped from there, and, being the only seaport, some activity prevails there, but only in articles in connection with the war. per M e o e n n e t y . pwears month.vcry ab u n N d a a t n i t o , n a a n l d ß i o n n d d s e , demand n s d 24 a tf for money.

The latest news is published in the Aloniteur of the 16th inst., which says, in that day's bulletin, 4 , that no serious engagement had taken place in La Plata since the attack by the Paraguayans on the camp at Tuyuti. The Paraguayans had neverthe less succeeded in sinking various vessels of the Brazilian squadron ; but, on the other hand, the Brazilians seem to have completely invested Ilu maita. It was even asserted that President Lopez would abandon llumaita." But this has been as serted for years, and the Allies appear now to be no nearer the realization of the prediction.—Angle- American Times. - - --- [ADVERTISEMENT.]—TroIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Cough, Emaciation.—Th ese symptoms, sl i ght but steadily advancing, mark a depraved condition of the body, which will run its rapid courso to consumption unless some re sistant remedy be at once applied. All congestion of the lungs and engorgements of the air tubes are removed by rubbing Holloway's ointment upon the back and front of tho chest ; and all impurities are extracted from the blood by his purifying pills, which establish a good digestion, and so strengthen the system and avert both present and future danger. These potent remedies require no foreign aid to change the consumptive tendency, and to remove all obstructions springing from impure blood, deficient ner- VOUS power, or other constitutional or local defect. LAW AND POLICE. AN IMPORTANT Pon IN BANKRUPTCY.—Lord Justice Cairns has decided an important question under the bank ruptcy laws. The point came before him on appeal from the Commissioner of Bankruptcy at Liverpool, in the matter of one Atherton. Mr. Atherton was adjudicated a bankrupt in 1864, and in June 1865 his order of discharge was absolutely refused. He x..cently applied to the com missioner to appoint a day on which he might renew his application. His Honour, however, was of opinion that he had no jurisdiction to hear another application for an order of discharge. The bankrupt appealed. His lordship held that the Commissioner had jurisdiction, and ordered the matter to be remitted to the Commissioner, with that expression of his opinion. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF A CoNTRAcT.--Vice-Chan cellor Stuart, in the suit of /Sl`lllurray v. Spicer, ha s ordered the specific performance by the defendant of an agreement entered into by his father to buy certain lands for £ll,OOO. The specific performance was resisted on the ground that the conditions of the contract were vague, and that there had been good notice that they would not be carried out. His Honour, however, held that the objections were untenable. GOODS DEPOSITED IN THE CLoAs-noom AT A RAILWAY STATION.—The Court of Queen's Bench has had before it the case of Pepper v. the South-Eastern Railway Com. pany. It was an action to recover damages for delay in forwarding a trunk. The plaintiff, an elderly lady, do' posited a trunkiwith the defendants' servants at the Folkes• tone railway station. When she demanded the trunk it was not to be found, and it then appeared that it had been forwarded by mistake to Charing-cross. It was afterwards "recovered and delivered to the plaintiff. She now claimed damages for the delay. The defendants pleaded the con• ditions printed on the back of the ticket given in exchange for every article deposited, that they would not be responsible for any article left with them, the value of which exceeded £lO unknown to them. This plea was demurred to by the plaintiff, who submitted that this condition did not protect the defendants from all liability for the delay in the delivery of an article by its temporary loss. The court decided for the de fendants, Mr. Justice Mellor remarking that the damages under any circumstances would be insignificant. CURIOUS CHARGE OF LIBEL.—Mr. Justice Byles and a common jury have tried a most curious case of libel against the ltliddle:ex Chronicle. On the 2nd of November last there appeared in the Middlesex Chronicle a paragraph, which stated that the plaintiff, a Mr. Christmas, had been fined for poaching. As this was simply untrue, Mr. Christmas issued a placard stating that it was so, and wrote to the defendant asking him what it meant. De. fendant answered that he had taken it from the County Chronicle, and it then appeared that a person had been charged with trespass, at Guildford, who falsely gave the name of Christmas. It seemed, however, that the report which appeared in the County Chronicle had been so altered in the defendant's paper as to exagge rate the offence. There was shewn to have been unplea. santness between the plaintiff and defendant, and his lordship directed the jury that if that account were a fair, correct, and honest report of the proceedings of a court of justice, it would be privileged, and the defendant would be entitled to their verdict. The jury found for the plaintiff ; damages, £5O, THIEVES AND PAWNBROMIRS. — Another case in which. the pawnbroker appeared to disadvantage has been heard at the Westminster Police -court. A woman named Emma Minnie, who had been previously sentenced to penal servi tude, and had a ticket-of-leave, was committed for stealing a sealskin jacket of the value of £'26, and other things worth £3O, from a house in Pimlico. It transpired that the jacket was pledged for £l, and the magistrate sharply crit!cisecl the pawnbroker's assistant for lending so little upon so valuable a pawn. CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST A Bor.—The boy James Loader has surrendered in discharge of his bail at tho Worship street Police-court, on a charge of murdering James Strangeways. The verdict of the coroner's jury was read. It stated that Strangeways' death resulted from a misadventure, caused by his own act. The magistrate at once ordered the discharge of tho prisoner. A RIGHT HON. WAGGONER.—The Right Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., appeared, a few days back, at Farling don, in the shape of prosecutor against a waggoner, whom be found lying helplessly drunk, with his waggon and horses standing still in the road. The defendant wag lifted by the right hon. gentleman into the waggon, and Mr. Bouverie, shouldering the defendant's whip, drove to a neighbouring farm. The usual drunkard's fine of ss. and costs was inflicted. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A GENTLEMAN'S HOUSE : — At the Warwick Borough Police-court, Admiral Harding charged his footman with being abusive to him. It appeared that the defendant, in defiance of orders, had gone out after dark, and on Thursday night Last he did not return till ten o'clock. On being remonstrated with he became abusive, and refused either to leave the premises or to go to bed. He became furious, and walked about in the hall till two o'clock, when the whole house was thrown into confusion and alarm. Having no one they could send into the town, they were obliged to signal for assistance. Mrs. Harding went upstairs, and, opening one of the bed room windows, she waved backwards and forwards in tho a i r a lighted candle, in the hope of attracting the atten tion of some one. The cook rang an alarm bell, and Admiral Harding lay upon his bed blowing a railway whistle, which was very s h r ill , and could be heard a long these s Ipgentlemen a a ri n e Aftertn m inutes, their some e had envha on b e lwv e e n arse k f pe e ta p es t hs ien u dg p , ai n f n o da r c c a l a b is r o t r u a ia t n g e t e e en c o am ff. the defendant removed in custody. The bench decided that they had no power to deal with the case, and after reprimanding the prisoner they discharged him. DEATH OP A FAMOUS HIGHLAND PIPER. —The Inverness Advertiser announces the death of Donald Came ron, the celebrated piper to Seaforth. He began his trium: phant career in 1838, when he won a broadsword at Edin burgh. lie won the gold medal at the Northern Meeting at Inverness in 1849, and in 1850 a gold medal given by Seaforth for competition among the nine best pipers in Scotland, and crowned his fame by winning the Great Champion Gold Medal at the Northern meeting of E 367. He composed several excellent airs, such as "Brahn Castle," " Lady Anne Mackenzie," " Kessock Ferry," etc. SHEEP STEALING.—A bold case of sheep stealing has occurred at Ashford, near Staines. Mr. Benjamin S )pittle, the occupier of Clockhouse Farm, left a number of sheep on an outlying pieco of land, within a few him dred yards of the police-station and somo adjoining cot tages on the one hand, and the union workhouse, an inn known as the Stag and Hounds, and several occupied houses on the other. On Wednesday morning the shep herd discovered that no less than thirteen of the sheep were missing, and a minute inspection of the ground chewed that a van had been backed close up to the hedge, where it was evident the lost sheep had been put into it. ✓ Although active inquiries were made in all directions, no lop can 1)o _relied upon has yet been discovered.
