becomingly that the Princess had beep "deliverer"

that her royal hiMoess was "confined of a prince." Did

CHARGE AI;AIN,T A. CoNnanornonr.—On Sunday
last the minirter of a Large congregation is Dundee was in-
terrupted in the UMINA of his forenoon sermon by the ire-
' coughing of his auditors. Pansiog in the midst dtrioti servatious, be addressed his congregates to .he fol-
lowing effect :--** You go about the streets at the New Year
time—you get drunk aiel get cold, then von COON here and

you a vacation of six weeks, that you may have time to get

NIPOUTATION OF SALMON. —The COMlllii,Aiollolll
of Custome have promulgated a general order to tear
officers stationed at the various ports of the United King-
dom, enjoying them to use the utmost vigilance in order
to prevent the exportation of salmon during the periods
prohibited by law. The provisions of the Act Lel Via.„

there is reason to belie that salmon have been packed
with soles, the better to avoid detection.
THE LAN,ASHIEE COAL THADIL—WMAN, SAME-
DAT.—The cheek pl.ced epee the supply by the severe free
which closed the canals has now been removed, and pro-
prietors are again able to meet the steady demand for home

importance to note the week. The men are quietly at work
under the siveneed rate of wages, except in one or two in-
stances where there are lossl disputes, and in most discrete
they are in full employment. The demand for coal ter
reni.rt has been remarkably good, the Liverpool freight
market heirs depressed. with little chance of present im-
provement. In the Weldor qualities of engine coal there is
very little doiag tempt for the !Frge engineering establish-

THE C!NDE ST: tHER4 AND THE SOITTIiERIE
BLOCCADE.—The number of steamers that have left the
Clyde sieve the blockade of the Confederate ports was oons-
meooed is upwards of sixty, and their purchase price
amounts in the aggregate to about 700,0001. The selling
and building of steamers for this trade has been per-
haps the most remunerative speculation dnrieg tie
past year. Io many cases venial" were wild at a half
more than their original cost. In len and 1862 thirty
steamers left the Clyde ; of these six were paddle vessels
in the river trade, five paddle and six screw vesels in
the deepaaa trade, and the remainder were new. la
lite twenty-eight steamers sailed, and of these eleven
were river paddle beats, one a paddle and one a clew
is the deep-sea trade. Seven were new peddle and
eight new screw vess•ls. The total of their reclaimed
teenage was 6.rno tone and they were manned hr about
800 hands. The haver :hat has been made amongst them
has been very great. Of the thirty that tailed previously
to 1863 only four have escaped, the others being either
horsed, sunk, or captured : while of those that left het
year five have been captured, fifteen ere still running, sell
the remainder are on their way out. During the present
month three more steamers have left., sod evened are fitting
out to follow. A few of the centered steamers made .rely
one trip, while other. made over a dozen ; and no the
whole they have paid their isomers very well, some of these
being a source of great profit to all concerned.—Seetemse.,
