from north-west on the went coast of Ireland : but on our other
coasts moderate to strong southerly to S. W.) winds chiefly
prevail.

After the arrival of their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales at Abergeldie (says the
Dundee Advertiser), they paid a visit to Hrs. Simpson,
Cori/hall, who last season had a small dog " Tommy,"
which she had for the peat twerty-two years, and in
which their royal highnesses took an interest. Ater iu•
quiring very kindly for poor old " Annie," the Prince and
Princess naturally waked for the " old'favourite," but we"e
told he was " deed," having had to be " kilt, for he was
clean Bottled, and fairly dean." His royal highness pro-
mised the woman another nice little dog, and fulfilled his
promise this week. He sent all the way to Sandringham
for one, and on Sunday afternoon took Annie sowewha:
by surprise by calling upon her, and presenting her with
the promised gift.
At a general meeting of shareholders of the
London Offices Company (Limited), held on Saturday
morning last, at 38, John-street, Bedford-row, it was
resolved that the London Offices Cuimiany be amalgamated
with the London and County General Agency Associat;on
(Limited), of which Mr. Henry James Leah is the general
manager.
SHAREHOLDERS' FREE SUNDAY AT THE CRYSTAL
Pabaez.—Yesterday was the second and last free Sunday
for this season at the Crystal Palace, and on this occasion
the directors had issued 10,000 free tickets to the secretary
of the National Sunday League, for distribution amongst
the members of the Crystal Palace share clubs and their
friends, who eagerly availed themselves of the privilege.
WuRENIk'N S FESTIVAL AND INDUSTRIAL EXHl-
sTrtoN.—The official return of the number of visitors at
the Agricultural Hall for the week ending Sept. 8 gives a
total of 52,018.
SUDDEN DEATH AT SOMERSET HOUSE.-011 Sa-
turday morning Mr. Lewis Broadbent, 18 years of ar,
who held a situation in the department of the Registrar o:
Births, Marriages, and Deaths, at Somerset-house, was

hastening upstairs to save what is known in government
offices as " the red line " in the attendance book, which is
drawn at ten minutes after ten. The deceased had only
been in the service a few weeks.
PILIHRUSE-lilLL.—Complaints having been made
to the parochial authorities of St. Pancras of Primrose-hill
not being lighted at night, and of improper characters
congregating there, Mr. W. B. Scott, the chief surveyor
of the parish, has been instructed to prepare plans for
lighting the locality, and when the plans are approved by
the works committee it is intended that a deputation
from the parishes of St. Alarylebone, Hampstead, and St.
Pancras shall wait upon Lonl John Manner. to obtain his
assistance in putting an end to the present disgraceful
state of the locality.
Tun EASTERN FISHERIES. —The North Sea herring
voyage is being prosecuted with considerable success.
During the last fortnight numerous deliveries have
been made. Generally speaking the quality of the herrings
has been good. Prices have ranged from about 10f. to 214
per last.
THE CROPS IN THE NORTH.—SeriOIIs apprehm .
sinus are beginning to be felt as to the state of the
crops in Durham, Northumberland, and the northern
counties. The last week up to Saturday night was a
period of almost incessant rain, which, though not a
very serious matter in itself, become so when taken in
conjunction with the fact that in the previous week
most of the heavy crops were beaten down by the tem-
pestuous rain and wind which prevailed. If the present
week should unfortunately happen to be like its pude-
teaser a great portion of the corn thus laid will be irre-
trievably damaged by sprouting in the ear. A week,
however, of really fine weather would see the bulk of
the crop secured, and there is every indication there
would be a fair average yield. Hay is still lying out in
some quarters, which if not soon gathered will be
worthless.
The London and North Western Railway have
already laid sixty three miles of steel rails on their system,
and the work of re-laying with steel instead of iron is to
be continued. On the Gnat Northern steel rails have
also been laid at all the principal stations, and on the
steepest inclines of the railway. In the case of each of
these companies a certain portion of the increased cost of
these is charged to capital—Railway News.
