G. W. GORDON'S INSURANCES.—It is announced
Out the directors of the Star Insurance Company, with
idiom the life of the late Mr. Gordon was insured for
2,50:11., have unanimously resolved to pay over the amount
it once to his widow.
A Madrid letter of the 30th ult. says :—" The
weather has been hitherto unfavourable to outdoor amuse-
ments. The last bull fight of the season has been given
spin despair, owing to the obstinate raise. The promo-
macs are deserted, and the famous toilets for which the
hake of the upper and middle ranks are renowned have no
rhinos of display. The ' pale mauve satin trimmed with
white blonde and white buglee,' or 'the sky-blue velvet
with sable trimming on the hem of the skirts,' which are 1
lemribed as churning every eye as they swept the mud at
ais promenade of Faente Castellain, are now laid up till
better weather. At church black silk and veils are de
spacer; at the theatre the ladies appear simply and mo-
destly attired. The low dresses of Paris and London are
est adopted in Madrid without some modifications required
tither by stricter notioos of decency or more indifferent
amplexioas.”
THE BRIGANDS' PRI ZE. —The capture by brigands
ne lately reported of Mr. Peon, the Italian traveller of
Ibsen C. Buthelmes and Co., of Bradford, while ma.
selling between Naples and Ancona, a ransom of not
less than 2.0001. being demanded for hie release. On
Siturday Messrs. Barthelores and Co. received from
hely a telegram announcing the ensue of Mr. Yenta
boa captivity. His reissues was not effected through
the interpositioo of the Italian government, with whom,
is will be remembered, Lord Clarendon informed the
%atom Chamber of Commerce communication would be
Imediately made in reference te the matter, but the know-
ledge on the part of his captors of the fact that some in-
tones was being exerted by Messrs. Bartbelmes in a quarter
et Rome likely to do good service in effecting his release,
lley, it is supposed, have induced them more speedily per.
riape than they otherwise would have done to put a lees
extravagant estimate on their prize than they had pre.
riansly done, and to sceept, as they at length did, the more
andante sum of 1101. for Mr. Peoza's release.
ALLIGATOR Fro ur. —A correspondentof Havannah
aye:—" A young mar, aged 20 years, the manager of an
Cite, was crossing a river on horseback, and followed by
.ball-dog, when the howling of the animal caused him to
tin his heed. What was his surprise to see an alligator,
'eked 9 feet long, carrying off the dog by the tiezlc ? To
item off his horse and into the water, to attack the monster
with his hunting knife, was the work of a moment. His
Wiens was successful, for he killed the alligator and saved
lie dog."—West India paper.
