The oldest general in France, and even (as some say) in
Europe, Baron Despeaux, is just dead. He entered the
army in 1778, and was made general of division in 1794.
A postal convention has been concluded between Spain
and Great Britain. The postage on letters between the
two countries is to be sixpence. Letters must be prepaid,
no matter in which country they are posted, and each nation
will retain the postage it receives, as there are to be no
accounts between the two kingdoms. The British postage
alone on a letter by mail packet, to or from Spain, at present
is 2s. 2d.

Miss Philbrik, a lady residing in Piscataquis county,
having been annoyed by bears, set a trap for them. The
morning after the trap was set it had aisappeared, and a
trail was observed showing which way it had gone. Miss
Philbrick procured her rifle and started in pursuit, and
was not long in overtaking bruin with all his paraphernalia.
A shot from the rifle soon terminated his existence, and
Miss Philbrick had the satisfaction of receiving a good
price for the " pelt," in addition to the bounty allowed by
the State.

ARRIVAL OF AN ALLIOATOR.--One of the passengers
which left Southampton for London by the 11:30 ant.
train on Saturday week was a live alligator, nearly fifteen
feet long. It came to this country in a West Indian
packet from Greytown. It was conveyed to town in a
canoe half filled with water, partly covered with boarding.
The canoe was fastened upon a railway truck. The alliga-
tor was directed to the Regent's Park Zoological Gardens.
It had not baen fed for some time, and kept opening its
gigantic mouth as if it scented prey not far off. It was as
big round as a man's body.
The French papers state that in the vineyards near
Bordeaux, the hop.: et Arat ontortrainca Aoul tho est.aLu ur
the vines, have not been in general realised, as in very many
localities the return has been less than was expeeted. In fact,
the Bordeaux country has given but a small yield. In Lower
Medoc the result is a little better than that of 1855 ; the
quality is superior, the wine having both colour and body.
In Upper Medoe the failure is general. In the Blayais the
quality is good, but the yield is small. Both in the neigh.
bourhood of Lyons and Bordeaux, the result is less than the
appearance of the growing vines promised.
Accounts from Rostow, on the river Doi, mention that,
notwithstanding the constant daily arrival of supplies, the
orders for the shipment of wheat and linseed from abroad
cannot be effected. Prices are consequently on the rise,
and are still higher at Taganrog, where freights have
risen equally high, from vessels not being able to reach
that port through the strong contrary winds that prevail
against them. The inland productions of almost every
kind are very much in demand at St. Petersburg, too, and
prices are on the rise. The demand for tallow is particu-
larly great, and in the course of last week a parcel of
125,000 pounds changed bands at 150 to 151 roubles ass.
At present, as much as 155 roubles are demanded for this
article.

SINGULAR MODE OF DEATH —A child, one year and
seven months old, the son of a labourer named Porter, re.,
siding at Much Birch, near Hereford, came by his death in
a singular manner. The child had been playing with a
knife in his hand, and it is supposed that on seeing a sheep
which was running about, the poor little fellow ran away,
and in doing so fell upon the knife, which the mother on
taking him up found sticking in his throat. When the
knife wa% removed the blood flowed (as the poor woman
described it) "like a pot boiling." Mr. John Morris, sur-
geon, of Hereford, was sent for, but he found that the
carotid artery was severed, and that nothing could save the
child's life. An inquest was held on Thursday. and the
jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.
THE MONEY PANIC IN FRANCE.—The disquietude felt by
the Bank of Francs on the state of its metallic reserve has
compelled it during the last two years to have recourse to
steps which may have added to rather than remedied the
evil. The purchases of gold and silver bullion for the
account of the Bank were insufficient to keep its coffers
full. According as the gold of London, Amsterdam, Ham-
burg, and Brussels found its way, after a considerable
premium, to the Bank coffers, it was immediately drained
off by the reimbursement of its notes at par in the metal so
purchased, and which the Mint had transformed into pieces
of twenty, ten, and five francs. In this operation the
Bank incurred three kinds of loss, 'namely, the compara-
tively high premium paid for its gold and silver, the
interest during the transport from foreign countries
and its deposit at the Mint, and the expense
attending the coining, without speaking of its un-
productive displacement and its withdrawal from
circulation, all which, of course, increased the apparent
deficiency. The operation is said to have been at first effected
by the withdrawal from the Bank of its own gold and silver,
the melting, and then selling it back to the same establish-
ment in the shape of bars. By way of prevention i
was stipulated that in future no bars should be receive
except such as had been refined out of France.
was not difficult to elude the new stipulations ; and its
coin was delivered to it in bars refined _in foreign

Another stipulation was introduced, in virtue of WA
bullion was to be purchased that was not refined
and that did not bear a stamp of old date. The
