SEIZCRE OP SEVEN STEAMERS AT LIVERPOOL.
Br TELEGRAIPH.—Tbe Liverpool Journal of Commerce
states that the American consul at Liverpool has obtained
warrants for the seizure of seven steamers now belonging
to Messrs. Frazer, Trenholm, and Co. It is alleged the
vessels were the property of the Confederate States. The
warrants were obtained on the strength of an affidavit
made by a clerk in the employ of Frazer, Trenholm,
and Co.

THE CARE Or HYDE-PARC—Arrangements are
now in progress (says the Herald) for the transfer of the
keeping of the park from its ordinary guardians to the
police authorities, and as many of the former as are
efficient will be enrolled in the police force. Whether the
main avenues will be lighted by gas is not yet decided, as
there are obvious difficulties in the way ; but the drives
at least will receive that additional security. We under-
stand that one useful result will follow from the destruc-
tion of the old park railings. The opportunity will be
seised for the carrying out of a very much needed reform
--the widening of Park-lane.
FIRE AT STRATTORD.—A fire took place last night

magazine, took pion at liberate yesterday afternoon, in
the presenoeof from 15,000 to 20,000 peen& Eight months
since the Rev. Teignmonth Shore, M.A., the editor of the
Quiser, made an appeal to his readers in aid of the Royal
National Lifeboat Institution, and the result was the con-
tribution of about 2,0001., which is sufficient to defray the
entire coat of three lifeboat stations, and Margate was
selected se the destiaation of the first boat. Mrs. Canon
Bateman christened the boat " The Quiver." Addressee
were delivered by Alderman Standing (who represented the
mayor), the Rev. T. Shore. Mr. J. B. Flint 1a member of
the local committee). and Captain Ward, R.N., inspector
of lifeboats to the National Lifeboat lastitution, who, on
behalf of the institution, thanked the dowers and sub-
scribers for their munificent gift, and the midair's sad
visitors for the reception they had given the heat.
