quite heavy. The America's advices from Liver-

effected, and prices for such are somewhat easier.

We (Yorkshire Gazelle) understand that his Grace the
Archbishop of York has addressed a circular letter to the
cl,:rgy of his diocese, in which he says:—" At this time
when the deepest anxiety universally prevails among the
peepe of this kingdom on account of the sorrow, suffering,
and danger with which our countrymen in the East are
eecompassed, I strongly recommend you to introduce both
at morning cad evening prayer, the prayer, in the time
of war and tumults.' Also, that in the prayer for all
conditions of inert.' you desire the prayers of the congre-
gation especially' fur our countrymen in India, and for
their sorrowing faee'lies and relatives at home."
A TIMELY DISCOVEV,Y —The following incident occurred
a night or two ago in one of the pi incipal hotels of this
city. Not many hours after milnight, a commercial
traveller, stopping in the house, reti o to his bed•ehanelver.
Before nrelreesing he placed a chilr a7;ainst the door as a
precaution against the surreptitious entrance of any
necturnal marauder, and in order to assure himself that no
person lurked in his room, he examined the presses anal
cepterards. H Next looked underneath his bed, and there
observed, with a good deel of amsz rnent, a pair of eyes
shining in the g'are of the gaslight, and the well-defined
outline of a man. On recovering from his surprise he
gave the alarm, and about twenty commercial travelle,s
who lodged in adjacent rooms came to his assistance, and
dragged forth a gentlemanly looking young man from
under the bed. It would appear that the fellow had lain
there all the evening with the determination of pouncing
on the valuables of the first occupant of the- roots ; hut
owing to the circntmpeetian of that person, his theftuous
plans were altogether b filled, and he was safely lodged in
Ihe poice, office, where he remains for trial- The circum-
stance should be a warning, not only to tomilta and
travellers, but ehould also serve as a very fereib'e suggestion
to hotel keepers to be perticularly veediant as to the
character of their queen —Glasgow Daily Mail.

PROPO,ED VISI'I'OI, SUNDAY 0110-:2L CHILDREN TO THE
ART Titasualis.-:---A meting was bold in the Mayor's
parlour, Town-hall, Manchester,' en Friday afternoon, to
originate a subscription to enable the whole of the Sunday
school children of Manchester and Salford to visit the
Exhibition of Art Treasures. The Mayor,. Sir James
Watts, presided. The proposition had been thrown out by
a writer in 'one of the local papers, under the signature of
"Alpha;'' who, estimating the number of children at
100,000, stazgested that there would be rfa difficulty in
raising £5,000 to pay a shilling a head for their admis.don,
and enclosing one hundred pounds towards the obj3ct, on
condition • hat £3,000 was raised by the 15:h inst. To this
the mayor hid plac,d an additional £5O. The meeting
was .well attended by the conductors and managers of San-
day schools, but not by the gentlemen of influence likely
to con,ribute- larkelv to the fund, and in the short dis-
cussion that ensued it appeared to be the opinion that
Alpha had our -estimated nuaabers in speaking of
10O,0('0, and that supposing there were 70,000, this
number won) d be further reduced to something like
40,000 or 50,000, if children under ten years of age were
struck out. Eelow ten it w as thought that children would not
appreciate the Exhibition. Resolutions were passed,
llowev'.r, approving the euzgsstion of Alpha, and appoint-
ing a cimmittee to co'lect the requisite funds. The
I'eyor and Mr. David Morris were appointed honorary
