SUIT FOR WORK AND LABOUR.—A man down on
Cape Cod, who separated from his wit, married a second
woman, with whom ho lived a year and a half, and then
died. His first wife took possession of the estate. The
second wife sued her for services during the time she lived
with the deceased, and, after hearing the evidence last
week, a good-natured Cape Cod jury gave her a verdict,
allowing her 2 dollars per week.—New York limes.
HE " MAKES A SOLITUDE."—The Neu) Fork
Herald's correspondent cites as a specimen of
General Grant's orders the following 'Do all the damage
you can to railroad and crops, carry off stock Of all descrip-
tions and negroes, so as to prevent further planting. If the
war is to last another year let the Shenandoah valley
remain a barren waste.—U. S. GRANT." In accordance
with this order the destruction done by Castor and Merrill's
Louisianians was on the largest scale possible, In the
course of one day wheat enough to subsist the whole army
for a year was eleitroyed, besides collecting 1,500 head of
cattle and 3,000 sheep- Nor did the work of destruction
stop next day.

and delightfully secluded spot, and stands close to the )7E'
stream, which winds like a serpent through the green glOl3.
It consists of a narrow ledge of rock, only accessible from
one point, overhung by a frowning, rugged precipice, fes;
tooned with wild herbs and creeping plants, which thrust
itself forward over the glen at an angle of about 90 degrees.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST MINISTER IN SCOTLAND.
To-day we record the death of the Rev. Mr
Young, United Presbyterian minister, Logiealmond, in his
89th year, and the 65th of his ministry. Mr Young was
ordained to the pastoral charge of Logiealuiond
in 18001
and at the time of his death he was the oldest minister ei
the United Presbyterian Church, and the oldest officiating
minister of all the religious denominations of Scotland. ll°
was well known, especially in his earlier years, as an ele;
quent preacher, and in his old age he retained much vigell;
and clearness of intellect. Mr Young was highly esteemed
by his brethren in the ministry, and will be lamented by a
deeply-attached congregation.—Edinburgh Courant. A

THE QUEEN OF THE GIPSIES.—We are glad to
report that her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Eity eria:
excellent health, and that the past season has been a Ws°
prosperous one. Her comfortable and neatly-kept palace hai
been visited by a considerable number of tourists, some
them occupying distinguished positions, and many hav,illigr
gene to Yetholm for the special purpose of paying
th
respects to her Majesty. Even proud Republicans froln
other side of the Atlantic, who can hardly speak of roYell'
without a sneer, have sought a queenly smile in the Paise:
of her Majesty ; and other foreign visitors have also be
graciously received by the accomplished ruler of the welt:
dering tribes. We understand that the Mayor of Newcasr;:i
paid her Majesty a visit one day lately, and he did not cla'
the royal abode without testifying his fliendly feeling t(ici
wards her by presenting her with a beautifully engrave
"work of art" in the shape of a five-pound note. We also
understand that her Majesty is not without some hell°
receiving a visit from Prince Alfred on the occasion of ill
sojourn at Floors Castle next week.— Eels° Chronicle. 0
THE TOWNLEY CASE.-1 he Townley case has ogal
cropped up. At the Derbyshire Quarter Sessi°l
on Wednesday, the whole of the visiting justices tendered
their resignation, on the ground that the refusal of tniut
court to ratify their recommendation for the dismissal 0f L,
Gisborne, the gaol surgeon, for his conduct in the Town'
matter, implied a want of confidence in them, which 12:nitlie;
rlally lessened their influence in the gaol. Ia the en'
visiting justices were induced to act for another cluarter' in
anticipation that in the meantime Mr Gisborne would e%
press his sorrow for what ho had said and written.--*-Thr,

iONEY MARKET

AND

commsßclAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

There is a very small demand for discount accommoda•
thin in the general money market this morning, and the
supply of capital being abundant, brokers are evincing a
disposition to negotiate bankers' acceptances at rates
a fraction below the (facial minimum of 9 per
Cant. There is a much more cheerful feeling everywhere,
and should the next Bank return prove favourable, we may
expect to witness a return of confidence in financial circles.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted
to £1.51,000, and the exports to £207,600.
The stoppage has been announced of Messrs. Simpson
and Co., merchants and insurance bankers, of Gracechurch-
street, but their liabilities are stated to be very small.
A meeting of the creditors of Mr. Aaron Salomons, of
01 I Change, has been fixed for Tuesday next.
There was no material alteration is the foreign exchanges
yesterday afternoon.

The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised
the influx of £104,000 in bar gold, and the withdrawal of
60,000 sovereigns fcr transmission to the Brazils by the
French packet on Monday.

Tho Northern Assam Tea Company has been introduced
far a capital of £200,000 is 20,000 shares, of which 15,000
are to be first issued. It is not intended to call up more than
£1 lOs per share for 12 months. It is intended to purchase
twelve valuable tea estates, situated in Northern Assam,
on the south side of the Brahmapootra River, at distances
varying from two and a half to ten miles from Dibrooghur,
the principal shipping port of Upper Assam. These, estates
are in close proxim7ty to those of the Assam and Upper
Assam Companies, and are all situated on the Great Trunk
Road of Assam, with direct steam communication with
Calcutta. The estates comprise fully 8,000 acres, of
Which 500 acres are already planted in tea gardens,
180 acres being of three years' growth, 170 of ono and two
Years', and 150 just planted. The vendor has substantially
guaranteed to the directors a minimum dividend of ten per
Cent. on the paid-up capital during the first three years;
but from the estimates of produce and expenses, which
have been carefully examined, the directors state they are
justified in anticipating after the first year larger dividends.
The purchase money is fixed at £54,000, payable £7,000 in
cash, and the residue by four annual instalments, commenc-
ing in January, 1868, with interest at five per cent. The
`Vendor will pay all the expenses incidental to the formation
up to the allotment of shares. The list of applications for
shares will close on the 31st inst., and it is understood that
nearly the whole number to be allotted have been sub,
scribed.

Two o'CLo cK,

At the Pads Bourse to-day, according to neuter's tele-
gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were quoted Glf 92c. Rather
firm.

The English Stock Market opened with a very firm ap-
pearance, and a rise of fully A per cent. speedily occurred;
but upon a pressure of sales to realise profits obtained by
Purchases at the recent low range of quotations, a reaction
ensued, and Consols are 884 for money, and 89 exactly for
the account, or the same as on the previous afternoon. The
New Threes are 87 11, the Reduced 87 4 ; India 5 per Cents,
1041 a; Exchequer Bills, March, 108. to 6s. dis., and do.
June, 183. to 12s. dis.
Foreign Securities are also flatter than at the commence
Ment of business, and the market presents a depressed
appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents , 1862, are 70 4---do.

In the Railway Share Market there has been little alter-
ation, and prices continue without material change.
Caledonian, however, have improved 155., and Midland 55.,
while Metropolitan have declined 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings are inactive, at
tbout former rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares, in
)120 or two instances, are a shade firmer. London and
south African realised 201 ; Imperial Ottoman, 15a ;
