" The Franciscan Order" (says the Monde) which
has been eo happily re-established in France, and which
increases in number every year, now reckons 200,000 men
and 300,000 sisters, including the Tertiares. It pos-
sesses 251 provinces and 26,003 convents, of which five
are in Palestine and 30 in Turkey. It has given
to the Church seven Popes and 3,000 bishops. More than
80 Emperors and Empresses, Kings and Queens have been
admitted into the Order, which has moreover the glory of
having furnished 3,000 saints or beautified persons, among
whom were 1,700 martyrs."

MUTINY IN THE MERSEY.—Yesterday an Ame-
rican packet, the City of Brooklyn, commanded by Captain
Gaen Commis, which left the Mersey the same morning,
put back into the river and signalled for the police. An
inspector and four men went aboard, and the captain then
gave 12 of the crew of 29 into custody, charged with refusing
to obey orders. One of their number, Andrew Petersen, a
Dane, was also charged with having stabbed the third mate,
Jas. Johnson, in the thigh with a pocket knife. It appeared
that Petersen refused to obey an order of the second mate,
and on the third mate enforcing it Petersen threw him
down and stabbed him. The men were all new hands,
unknown to the (facers.

THE MISSING YOUNG CHORISTER BELONGING TO
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—Upon instituting in-
quiries yesterday morning at the Vicar's Choralof St. Paul's
Cathedral, we were informed, notwithstanding the informa-
tion given to all the inspectors of the metropolitan police
of the disappearance of young King, one of the youthful
choristers, and the offer by the Dean and Chapter of St.
Paal's of a reward of £lO for any information as to
what may have become of him, not the slightest clue had
been obtained up to 11 o'clock. It appears he was present
at the morning service on Saturday last, since which time
neither hls family nor his friends have heard anything of
him. Many rumours are aflaat as to his supposed abduci
tion, and as he was a lad of great talent and promise in his
profession, it is conjectured that he has been induced to
leave London by other than disinterested parties. Tho
occurrence has occasioned great grief on the part of his
friends and the authorities connected with the Cathedral.
HOUNDS IN THE 17TH CENTURY.—One of the
earliest packs of foxhounds on record was that kept by the
then Lord Arundell of Wardour, between the years 1690
and 1700; and the family are in possession of memo-
randa proving that they occasionally hunted them from
Wardour Castle, in Wiltshire, and at Braemore, near
Salisbury, now the seat of Sir Edward Hulse, but then the
occasional residence of Lord Arundel!. These hounds were
kept by the Arundeils until about the year 1745, when the
sixth Lord Arundell died. After his decease they were kept
by his nephew, the Earl of Castlehaven, by whom and his
successor they were hunted until the death of the last Ear
of that name, about the ,ear 1782. The pack was then sold
to the celebrated Mr Hugo Meynell, of Quornodon-hall,
Leicestershire; and it is probable that they contributed
largely to the establishment of that gentleman's foxhunting
fame, and have been the progenitors of some of the Quern,
hounds of the present day.—Once a Week.

ELOPEMENT.—In the neighbourhood of the
Great Heath of Maryboreugh lived a well-to-do
farmer, named Mr O'K--. The beauty of his daughter,
Miss L. O'K--, was,•we believe, an object of much ad-
miration, especially to those who, conjecturing the capabi-
lities of her father's purse, knew that all her recommenda-
tionswere not comprised in the mere transitory attractions
of personal charms. An individual, whose business it was
to teach the young idea how to shoot, was himself shot by
Cupid. Carried away by the loveliness of the fair Mis
O'K--, he resolved in turn to carry her away, which re-
solution he put into action on the night of Friday, the 231
ult., when. both of them took French leave of-the Heath,
and subsequently the train from Portarlington. Their
whereabouts at present we do not know,—Lein,ter Express.
ANOTHER GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION AND Hors
BIBLE DEATIL—An inquest was held on Saturday
at the White Hart Inn, Catsfield, by Mr Kell, coroner, re-
specting the death of Wm. Wait, through an explosion at
Messrs Lawrence and Sons' gunpowder mills, Battle, Sus-
sex, which occurred on the previous Thursday. The de-
ceased had been in the employ of the firm 30 years, and of
29th of September was engaged with another man tamed
John Chapman in putting down some flooring in one
of tde press-houses. Orders had been given that the
building should be well watered, so that any stray gun-
powder which might have escaped in the manufacture
should he rendered uninflemmable ; but this necessary
precaution appears cnly to have been partially carried
out. Chapman in pressing up one of the joists used a
cross steal matlock, instead of as he should have done
a wooden lever, which was the cause of the explosion,
as the instrument came in contact with a nail or some-
thing else, causing a spark and igniting the gun-
powder underneath the flooring which escaped through the
crevices. Chapman was blown on to the Brooks, a distance
of three or four rods, receiving extensive injuries, and is
still lingering. The poor man Watt was hurled on to the
bank of the river, and was severely burnt on the surface,
and injured in nearly every part of his body, and notwith-
standing the treatment el Mr Cruickshank, the surgeon,
expired on the following night. The jury returned a verdict
of " Accidental death."
A blind gipsy and his wife were arrested two
days since at Moyvilliers (Oise) on a charge of child-
stealing. When they 'resented their papers to the mayor of
the town he perceived that only two children were
mentioned, whereas it was found that they had three
with them. The mayor communicated the fact to
the gendarmery, who interrogated the old gipsies and the
children, One of the latter, a girl seven years of age, said
that her name was Sidonie Debert, and that the gypsies had
picked her up in one of the streets of Lisle and brought her
away in their cart, The gypsies were in consequence lodged
in prison at Compeigne, and measures have been taken to
restore the child to her parents.

The marriage of M. d'Erlanger with Marie.
Slidell, daughter of the representative, in France, of the
Southern States of America, took place yesterday in the
church of St. Pierre at Chaillot. The witnesses of the
bridegroom were M. Mocquard, Senator and Secretary to
the Emperor, and (he Marquis de Beaumont ; and those of
the bride, Mr Mason, Envoy of the Confederate States a
London, and M. Corbin.
It transpired yesterday afternoon that Mr Aaron.
Salomons, warehouseman, of Old Change, had
suspended business, owing to the discJvery of con-
siderable forgeries committed by his confidential
clerk, cashier, and manager, named Thornely, Tne
aggregate sum embezzled is stated at £40,000, and
as the delinquent has gone to America, and has lost
nearly the whole amount by speculatEn in mining
shares, &73., very little of it is likely to be recovered.
The bankers of the firm cffered every assistance, but
Mr S xlonaons not knowing his position, very pru-
dently resolved to stay his operations at Once and
ascertain his real position, Subjoined is the cir-
cular isated to the creditors :

No. 16, King-street, Cheapside, London,
Oct. 5, 1861.
Gentlemen,—Mr A. Salomons, of Old Change, ware-
houseman, having this day discovered that his confidenti.il
clerk and cashier has forged bills to a considerable amount,
and also abstracted moneys from the house, is advised by
his principal creditors at once to have his affairs investi-
gated ; and we beg to inform you that the books have been
placed in our hands for that purpose.
A general meeting of the creditors will be convened at the
earliest possible moment, and in the meantime your indul-
gence is craved,—We are, gentlemen, your obedient ser-
vants, LADBUnY, COLLISON, and VINEY.
