EAR-BORING EXTRAORDINARY.— A corres-
pondent, writing from Mandalay, describes the cere-
mony of "boring the ears" of the daughters of the
King of Burmah, which took place there lately. The
while of the royal party were bedecked with diamonds,
rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and pearls. His Majesty
and two of the principal Queens were scarcely able to
walk from the weight of the ornaments on their robes.
The King and the Queens were supported on either
side by maids of honour of rare Burmese beauty. The
orchestra was filled by some of the dancing girls, who
performed on sackbuts, drums, harps, ,to. It is
estimated that the whole affair will cost upwards of
ten laes of rupees. The gates ot the palace were thrown
open to all—men, women, and children and theatrical
performances went on day and night.
NARROW EsCAPE FROM A WOLF. Mr.
Wolkenborg, the Mh.sionary of the London Society
for the Jews at Jassy, has been upon a niiseionary
journey, in the course of which he had narrow escape
from being devoured by a wolf. He was accompanied
by a Bible Society colporteur. "We had (he writes)
just crossed a large but firmly from n sheet of water,
the ice being thick enough to carry conveyance and all,
and were approaching a rather steep hill, when, to
make the ascent easier for the horses, we alighted and
walked on foot. We were already about fifty yards in
advance of the conveyance, when we espied a wolf
trotting leisurely towards us, in the direction of a wood
which lay behind us. I had not even a stick in my
hand to defend myself from his attack had he been
disposed to wake one, though I doubt whether it would
have been of much use. The animal, however,
stoppol at a short distance from us, and after gazing at
us a minute Cr so, turned round and sauntered off.
Our fear would have been much greater hail we been
aware at the time of the many instances in which
travellers had been torn by these ravenous brutes in
various parts of the country."
ANOTHER SPORTING COLLAPSE.—The London
correspondent of Saanders writes:—
-

There Is dire dismay in the sporting world. The very
serious liabilities of one of the boldest speculators on the
turf have been lately understood to have attained a favour-
able prospect of liquidation under the skilful treatment of
one of the most experienced mediators of the day in such
matters. Of course personal insurance constituted one of
the principal features of the financial operations necessary
under such circumstances ; but it turns out that, for some
reasoner other, not a single insurance company will take
the life I 'tiered them at any price whatever ! The whole
affair, therefore, collapses altogether, and with it, it is ex-
pected, will collapse many a creditor who had been hopefully
looking forward to a settlement which would enable hint to
meet the demands pressing upon himself ! It Is lamentable
to find the representatives of the most distinguished houses
of the realm dissolving their own patrimony in the Ring,
only to end by including the destruction of some scores of
obscure individuals, who placed reliance on them, in their
own ruin.

SOUTH SRA COOLIES IN QUEENSLAND.—The
Aborigines Protection Society have presented a
memorial to the Duke of Buckingham, praying the
Secretary of the Colonies to move her Majesty's
Government not to give its sanction in any form to the
traffic in native South Sea Islanders, which has been
prosecuted for several years past by certain British
subjects in thecolony of Queensland. The memorialists
assert that the same objection woich proved fatal to the
so-called immigration of ne.:roes from the coast of
Africa applies with equal and irresistible force to the
exportation of South Sea Islanders. A bill for the
legulation of the traffic i-, new before the Queensland
Legislature. The system has already produced strife
and bloodshed in the South Sea Islands, and, if per-
sisted in, will probably entail still greater evila in time
to come. For these and other reasons, the society pro-
tests against sufferance being extended to the system.

Wyche, H. A. The vommunicants were more in number than
they have been for fourteen )ears. In the afternoon there
I was a service for children. At Evensong the church was
crowded to excess by a large and attentive congregation.
Numerous wax tapers litthe "Sanctuary." lie. Lee preached
from the text The winter is past, the rain is over and
gone, the flowers appear on the earth, and the time of the
singing birds is come." Alter the benediction a procesaional
hymn was sung. Neither the mixed chalice, incense, nor
eucharistic vestments were used. Not less than 1,000
persons were present at Evensong, who appeared greatly
interested in the services, which, we are assured, were con-
ducted "wills reverential care, in accordance with the well-
known principles of the High Catholic school, and after the
model of the Directorium A nglicanum."
