and resorted frequently to blows. On Sunday last, during an
altercation, they threw pails of water over each other. The

Tut: QUEEN'S IHRTII-DAY IN GREENWICH 110 S-1
mrsi..—This day, Ming one of the festivals appointed to
be observedi n Greenwich Hospital, at half-past 9 o'clock'
the in-puthioners of the institution, numbering nearly 2,700,
were paraded in the great square of the College. The yr-.
terans were dressed in their best clothing, and looked en
tremely well. A very great number were decorated with
metal', some having the clasps. At ten o'clock the Lieut.:
Governor, Bear-Admiral Sir J. A. Gordon, K.C.8., accom-
panied by the officers of the es'ablishment,ani several naval,
marine, and military arrived, and, having minutely in-
spected the men, expressed himself in terms of the greatest
satisfaction at their cleanly appearance and general orderly
conduct. The veterans, having attended divine service,
were regaled with an extra pound of roast meat for dinner,
receiving a commutation in money for their usual daily al-
lowance of mieton and soup. Each man also received a
half gallon of ale extra, in order to drink her 31ajesty's

THE ComutsaloN about to be issued wider the
Royal Sign Manual, fur the purpose of inquiring into the
affairs of the territories in Southern Africa adjacent to the
eastern and north-eastern frontier of the Cape of Good
Hope, will not invest the governor of that colony with any
jurisdiction or power in addition to those conferred by the
commission under which Sir Henry l'uttinger was consti-
tuted a Chief Commissioner for similar objects in 'he year
181;. It will merely, alter reciting the commission to Sir
Henry Puttinger, and in terms almost identical with those
used in that commission, appoint Major Hogg and Mr.
Owen to be Assistant Commissioners to Sir Harry Smith in
carrying out the proposed objects.—Globe.
AGRICI:LTI:RE IN Someaser.—There is certainly
plant enough, and appearance, for au average crop of
wheat; and, with a fine time, even a large crop. It will I
wind weeding, which is very backward from the little fine
weather we have had. All hands are now busily engaged.,
On the peat soils it is said the prospects are very good ; a 1
wet winter suiting this soil better than a dry frosty one.
Winter beaus are in blossom, and are looking well ; the
latter may be said of the spring ones up to this time, but
they may suffer yet if we have but very little rain between
this and midsummer. Barley and oats have come up pretty
well ; but a good deal of barley has gone in late, and we
think the usual quantity of this corn has been sown, but
of spring beaus and peas a less breadth than usual. There
has been an increased sowing of fiat on the lands fit for it. '
Potatoes arc later than for several years past; the early
ones have been cut down ; owed him been very cheap, but
there seems little inclination to increase the growth.—

APCIDENT AT WOMBWELL'S MENAGERIE, CHAT-
! MAX.—On Thursday night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, when
the im:nagerie was tilled with company, whilst Thomism
Stone, a black man, who under the title of " the young'!
Indian prince." was engaged in performing with the large
elephant, the animal, either by design or accident, pressed
Stone against the ban of the den, by which he received
severe injury of the scalp, had four of his ribs, the right
arm and collar bone broken, and he now lies in a very
precarious state. At the time of the accident the animal
was in the act of taking off and replacing the hat of his
keeper, and it is imagined that it had been irritated by
eons of the company. Stone's instructions were to remain
outside the animal', din, but this illjUllt6o4 he bad
neglected, and from its attachment to him entertained 110
apprehension of danger.
