We read in the Tinter City article :—" It appears
that Cie question with the Court of Aldermen with regard
to broken' recto is likely to be settled forthwith, the prbi-
eigal members of the Stock Exchange, who have hitherto
objected to the payment, having beoome convinced that it
sny be legally enacted. This satisfactory solution, how-
ever, has in some degree been marred by a needless ,deter.
minatioa on the part of the court to insist on the =slate-
mace of a vexatious system of compelling persons even of
the highest wealth and character to furaish paltry personal
mourities—a system which deludes instead of protecting
the public, and at the same time degrades the authority of
the corporation by making its exercise in them cases de-
pend, not upon reputatioo, bat simply upon a point, com-
pliance with which is within the reach even of tho most
questionable applicants."
" It is calculated," says the Cork Examiner,

and female labourers to gather is the harvest ; but if the
emigration onuilnues st the present rate (to put it down at
the lowest figure), 1,500 a week, they will certainly have
more cause to complain this year, as them leaving now are
meetly of that claim About 600 passengers are now wait-
ing in quematawn to get away by the steamers leaving

FLNIAN PRISONERS IN BELFAIIT..--.DellerilliDg
the arrival at Belfast on Saturday of a batch of 45 Fenian
Primers from Dublin, the Northern Whig says :—" The
tawarance of the prisoners we. the most wretched and
tamable that anyone could conceive. They were all little
tore than boys—none, apparently, over twenty years of
Its, aid seemed to be the very dregs and offscoorior
of the country—members of the Dodger and Bates
glical—and the frequenters of the lowest haunts to

lave expected they would, at least, have the ap-
aaratee of respectable artisans ; but the worst clam that
ever appeared in the dock of the Belfast Police-eourt
would be somethiog to admire sod respect compared
with the prisoners who made their dad! in town on

Northern prison. Judging from what one saw on Satyr-
dal., the army of the Irish republic, had it ever been
'o,oed together, would have been the most degraded,
teat clowarlike, and least efficient body that ever trod
Von trig ground. Little hope exists for any project
that men witch as these are sworn to oarry, and little

wretched creatures as these compose the army of the

prisoners were escorted by a strong body of police
to air vans which were in attendance to roovey
them to prison. A procession was then formed, the van
of which consisted of ten lancers and four mounted plum-

try two lancers and two mounted police, besides a large

Tea Naw HOTEL AT BOSTON. —The great South
End Hotel will no doubt eclipse anything of the kind in
the "Atte. It will have a froetage of 300 feet, and will
extend hack 200 feet, thus covering about an acre and a
half ef ground. Its colt has been estimated at 1,500,000
dais. It is to be half as large again and twice as elegant as
the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, I. to be built of
white marble, and to contain between 900 and 1,000 room,
all of which are to be furnished in a style of magnificence
hitherto unknown in the history of hotels in this country.
