KAYE'S WORSDELL'S PlLLS.—These Pills
are a purely vecretable preparation, and may be taken
.t any time by either sex without fear or danger. They act
upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their fine tonic,
aromatic, and aperient properties, they remo, e all oppressive
accumulations, regulate the secretions of the liver and bowels,
strengthen the stumach, and purify the blood. Unlike many
remedies, they do not induce liability to take cold or esta-
blish a necessity for the habitual use of purgatives, and are
thus strongly recommended as the BET FAMILY
MEDICINE.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

A new machine for drawing ship's bolts having been sub-
mitted to the Admiralty, their lordships have directed it to
be tried at the dockyards for a few months, and a full report
of its capabilities forwarded to the Board by the officials.

The screw gunboat Pigeon, 2, 60 horse power, is being
fitted for the first division of the steam reserve in the Med-
way. She takes the place of the Sepoy, 2, 60 horse power,
commissioned by Lieut.-Commander W. Welsh for parti-
cular service.

The contractors' trial of James Watt and Company's en-
gines on board the new iron cased ship Research took place
outside Plymouth Breakwater yesterday. The mean speed
of six trials at the measured mile gave 10.356 knots and 85
revolutions. The wind was easterly. With the helm hard
astarboard 39 deg. she made a half•circle in 1 min. 54 sec.,
and the whole circle in 3 min, 51 sec. ; vith the helm hard
aport 38 deg. she made a half-circle in 1 rein. 52 sec., and
the whole circle in 3 mitt. 50 see, These results are consi-
dered very satisfactory.

MARK-LANE.

The principal markets held on Saturday were but mode•
rately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi-
ness was transacted on rather lower terms. B %Hey and
oats, as well as beans and peas, commanded full prices, with
a fair inquiry. The flour trade was somewhat heavy.

On the continent, wheat continues to move off slowly, but
all other kinds of produce have commanded more attention.
The shipments of wheat and flour from America continue
on a full average scale.

The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market
last week were very moderate. From abroad we reeeived
22,696 qrs of wheat, 1,705 barley, 7,726 oats, 1,000 rye, 20
beans, 50 tares, 2,621 linseed, 10,574 rapeseed, 3,456 maze,
10 sundry seeds, 50 sacks and 7,866 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land
carriage, the arrivals of old Euglish wheat were small.
The supply of new home-grown wheat on the stands was
but moderate ; the quality of the produce was, for the
most part, goo 1, and the condition excellent. The quality of
the red wheats especially wore very good. Notwithstand-
ing, however, that the show of samples on sale was by no
means extensive, the trade for all qualities was very
drill. Compared with Monday last, a decline of ls. per
quarter took place in the value of last year'eproduce, and
new wheats could only be disposed of at a reduction in
price of fully similar extent.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a large supply of foreign stock on offer here
to-day. The beasts were mostly in poor condition; but the
quality of the sheep and calves was good.
The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were seasonably extensive. The general quality of
the supply, however, was by no means prime. From Ire-
land and Scotland the receipts were limited. Good and
prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at full quotations.
Otherwise, the beef trade ruled heavy, and, in some in-
stances, the quotations had a drooping tendency. Other-
wise the beef trade ruled heavy, and in some instances the
quotations had a drooping tendency. A few prime Scots
realised 5s per 81bs; but the general top price was 4s 10d
per filbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
wereceived about 2,700 shorthorns and crosses; from other
parts of England 900 various breeds, from Scotland 4.0 Scots
and crosses, and from Ireland 100 oxen and heifers.
We were fairly supplied with sheep as to number; but
most breeds were in middling condition. Prime Downs,
half-breds, Ike., moved off steadily at full currencies. In-
ferior breeds were dull, and rather cheaper. Die highest
quotation was 5s 4d per 81bs.
Inferior lambs were very dull, at low prices. The best
breeds changed hands at from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per Bibs. The
supply was very moderate.
We had a dull sale of calves, at late rates—viz., from
50 8d to 6s 81 per Bibs,

The pork trade was heavy, on former terms.

Fatal Accident at Mont Blanc,

A writer in a contemporary says :—A fatal acci-
dent occurred on Mont Blanc last Tuesday, the first
since Dr. Hamei's accident in 1820, Two Austrian
gentlemen had made a successful ascent of the
mountain, and were descending to the grand plateau,
4 young porter, Anabroise Couttel, was some dis-
tanoe in front, not attached to the rope. He took
a direction too near the edge of the plateau, and
just as the guide of the party shouted to warn him
of his danger he was engulphed in a crevasse, before
the eyes of the others. The crevasee was 90ft. of
sheer depth, and the rope was not long enough to
reach the bottom. I was descending from the cor-
ridor, and offered my rope. Another party arrived
soon afterwards, and lent theirs. The guides ap-
proached the edge of the crevasse and leant over.
They saw the traces of the man's fall, and called,
but received no answer. The cold on the plateau
was intense, and the guides feeling convinced that
the man was dead continued their route.

The same evening a party of guides left Chamouni
to recover the body. Two, whose names should be
mentioned, Michael Payot and Simon Pierre Benoit,
descended 00ft. to the turn of the crevasse, but
could go no further from the badness of the air.
They lowered a bottle 100 ft, more, which came up
covered with hair. There is now no hope of re-
covering the body.
The head guide of tho party appears much to
blame for not having enforced the use of the rope
on all the members of the party. Porters are very
apt to run on in front in an independent manner,
and it would be well if the head guide were held
responsible for the observance of every precaution ;
and that on the occurrence of an accident he should
be held personally answerable for the adoption of
every means to effect a rescue. What was done
the day following, when all hope of saving life was
gone, ought to have been done the day before by
the guides on the spot, as they could not be sure
cticit;it would not hare been attended with aucoes.

A Bailie before his Peers.

At the Bathgate Police-court, on Wednesday, Mr James
Lamb, a junior bailie, was tried before Bailies Johnston
for causing an obstruction on the public street by exposing
goods or merchandise. The proceedings, as reported in the
Glasgow Herald, were rather novel.
On being called upon to plead, Bailie Lamb said—Before
I plead, •I request your honours to remove that little dog ;
it's a nuisance"—(referring to a little dog which, although
not the procurator- fiscal's, is in the habit of following
him).
Their honours saw no necessity for removing the obstruc-
tion. Bailie Lamb, however, thought proper to give the
dog a hearty kick, to the disgust of all present.
The Procurator-Fiscal—Your honours, I do think
such condos' t is highly reprehensible on the part of Bailie
Lamb to ill-use that dog as he has done, although it is not
mine. If Bailie Lamb is very anxious to kick all the dogs
ut of the room, I think your honours would be justified in
kicking out all the lambs. (Laughter.)
Bailie Lamb, howerg, pleaded not guilty, and wished
the case lo go to proof. He had three objections to the
reledancy of the libel—let. This case has arisn at the
instance of the procurator-fiscal, and we have no procu-
rator-fiscal. 2d. I am not charged for any crime, and
might just as well have been accused of manslaughter,
as toe summons did not set forth any particular charge.
3,i. The summons has been signed only by one bailie, and
one evidently void of common sense, (Great sensation.)
The little dog again approached Mr Lamb, with the
evident fi:tention of being friendly, but only received
another kick, amid a round of hisses.
The Procurator-Fiscal—Your honours, seeing the ani-
mus of Bailie Lamb against the dog, I think he is no man
at all ; and in the manner he has insulted your honours so
grossly, renders himself liable to imprisonment for con-
tempt of court.
Bailie Lamb—l entirely object to the procurator-fiscal
pursuing this case. We have no procurator-fiscal ;Mr
Gardner can't hold two offices.
The Procurator-Fiscal—'The highest legal opinion has
been got on this point, and I can both be councillor and
procurator fiscal.
Bailie Lamb—l deny it. Really, your honours, I can't
speak if the clerk makes such wry tame ; he puts me off
the summons altogether. (Laughter.)
The Clerk—Your honours, this is utterly contemptible,
Am I under the protection of the court ? If so, I won't
stand such language.
Bailie Lamb—l see, Bailie Johnson, you are paying no
attention to me.
The Clerk—Your honours, has Bailie Lamb pleaded
guilty or not guilty ?
Bailie Lamb—Is that a' the length ye'r ? I pleaded not
guilty. Now,
The Clerk—I really can't stand this; it is perfecily dis-
no faces, clerk I
dis-
graceful.
Bailie Lamb—Go on, Mr Gardner, and lead your proof.
Peter Waugh was then sworn and examined, and sub-
stantiated the charge.
Bailie Lamb—l object to that man as a witness—he is
not sober—he is drunk.

The report of the directors states that the gross earnings
for the half-year were £27,465, and for the corresponding
half of 1863 £24,208, showing an increase of £3,207. Thu
traffic for the year ending the 30th of June last was equal

agreed to the surrender of Canada dropped its ins
fluence the better, for the verdict of sane English-
men of those middle classes, which the writer
seems to look on 'with such horror, would be
of a very opposite character. It is true, that
we have one little proviso which alters the aspect of
affairs slightly. The transfer is to be made "pro-
vided the Canadians assent," and as there is a deadly
antagonism subsisting between Canadians and Yana
kees, there is an awkward obstacle in the way of
a pacific solution of the difficulty. But while we are
about it we can very likely get over the difficulty.
'We can find something else to suit the Federal
taste—our vast Indian possessions for example, and
we have only to refuse our aid to Canada to enable
the Northern States to rank her among their num-
ber. It was only the other day that a sage sug-
gested that for fear of incensing Spain we should
exchange Gibraltar for Tangiers (which is not
Spain's to give), and there are two or three other
corners of our dominions which might be well em-
played in pacifying the world at large. A judicious
distribution of English territories would, no doubt,
restore harmony between Germany and Denmark.
Russia would certainly be pleased by a slice of
India, and France might have a present of Ceylon.
Perhaps, indeed, it would be better to ask her to
take Ireland under her protection, a change which
would settle the dispute about the Lord Lieutenancy.
Then it will be the least we can do to leave New
Zealand to the Maories, and probably the cession of
Cape Coast Castle will serve to pacify the wounded
feelings of the King of ASITANTEE. The surrender
of Canada will certainly afford "an example and a
precedent sufficiently clear to serve as an excuse
for such demands, if the concessions are not made
quickly enough. And with so much on hand we
had better begin at once without waiting for the
important moment which decides 'whether or no

WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool continue to be well
attended by home buyers. The biddings. however, are by
no means active. Nevertheless all good and fine parcels of
wool command full prices. Several lots of greasy Adelaide
produce have been withdrawn. English wool, in the pri-
vate contract market, is in limited request. The quotations,
however, were tolerably firm. List week's import was
1,793 bales from New Zealand; 233 Buenos Ayres; 123
Bombay ; 367 liurrachee ; and 235 bales from Hamburg.

BOROUGH HOP.

A few pockets of new English hops have recently been
received in good condition, and have sold at Z 7 per cwt.
The demand for last year's hops continues steady, and
prices of all qualities rule firm. Older hops, however, are
d dull inquiry, and the quotations rule nett to nominal.
The accounts from the plantations vary considerably as to
the probable yield this season. Although, however, there
will be deficiency of hops on same plantations, the total
yield will in all probability equal the production of an
season.

BOROUGH HOP.

A few pockets of new English hops have recently been
received in good condition, pnd have sold at £7 per cwt.
The demand for last year's hops continues steady, and
prices of all qualities rule firm. Older hops, however, are
a dull inquiry, and the quotations rule next to nominal.
The accounts 'rom the plantations vary considerably a., to
the probable yield this season. Although, however, there
will be deficiency of hops on some plantations, the total
yield will in aU probability equal the production of an
season.
