CATS FOR CENTRAL AliEßlcA.—About a dczsn
years since the newspapers chronicled as a fact (provocative
of especial wonder) the enterprise of a New York merchant
who had exported a c,rgo of 100 cats to New Grenada,
where, it would appear, the race had become extinct, owing
probably to the uninterruptedly disturbed state of that
wretched republic. In 1850 the rats were so plentiful and
so destructive, and cats were so very so very scarce in Cali-
fotnia, that 26 dollars were the ardinery price paid for one:

THE Loss OF THE ONTARIU.—After our parcel
left on Monday Mr O'Dowd applied for an adjournment
until Thursday, in order that some of the Yarmouth beach
men might, if possible, bo brought down and examined.
The Court granted the adjournment, and Mr &Bea added
that the captain was quite exonerated from all blame.

"M. Isaac Peroire and Baron de Heckeren,"
says a Paris letter in the Independance," who are in reality
in Madrid, notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, are
at the present moment negotiating an increase of capital
for the North of Spain R filway. This augmentation ap-
pears to be necessary to the undertaking."
SUPPOSED MURDER AT BOULOGNE.—BOULOGNE-
SUR-MER, Nov. 7.—Abont 7 o'clock this morning,
as a workmaa employed in the erection of a new bridg
across the river Lianno, for the use of the 13ou1ogne and
Calais Railway. was pursuing his avocation, he became
aware of the body of a child lying in the bed of the river
close to the temporary bridge. The water was at this
time very low and clear. He immediately called some of
his fellow workmen to his assistance, and got the bocy out
on the bank, whence it was transported, under the care of
the police, to the deadhouse of the Hospital of St. Louis,
where it was left for identification. About twelve o'clock
at noon the body of another child-was discovered in
the pool of water in the Arriere Port, and immediately
withdrawn thence, and also taken to the deadhouse at the
hospital. On the body being placed alongside the other
previously brought in it was evident that they were brothers.
There were no external marks of violence visible on either
of the bodies. The oldest appears to be between eight and
nine yeare:of age, 31t. 3in. high, fair, complexion, red hair,
gray eyes, straight nose, small wel.-formed mouth; does
not appear to have much colour in the cheeks. He had
on a black jacket, dark gray trousers, a white calico
shirt, Nith a narrow lilac and pink stripe alternately, a
purple and black plaid flannel shirt underneath, Magenta-
striped, white woollen stockings, shoes much worn, brown
silk cravat, brown woollen gloves with red cuffs, and a black
patent leathern belt, with a brass buckle, bear ing the Austra-
lian coat of arms, with the motto. "Advance Australia."
The younger child appears to be between four and five years
of age, is a good-looking round-featured boy, and has had
rosy cheeks ; he is 2ft. 9in. high, light curly hair, blue eyes,
straight nose, small well-formed mouth, forehead fair and
well developed. He had on a white diiper pinafore, light
blue and white merino petticoat with two broad brown
flounce stripes, a check linen under-petticoat, a flannel ditto
with two tucks, white calica trousers with pearl edging, red
socks,
repairedreddshish oesb lilac woollen mitten gloves,
hblack cuff, d a brown overjacket. There are
wit
n
no peculiar marks on the clothes. The caps or hats have not
beer found as yet. The report of the finding of the children
was soon bruited about, and the police were very active in

Boulogne, having a wife residing in the Rue de Bras d'Or,
arrived in the Albert Edward from Folkestone at 4,30 p,m.
yesterday (Sunday), and on leaving the packet went into
the passengers' waiting-room under the Chambre
do
Commerce with two little boys and his baggage, consist-
ing of a good hatbox, a nearly new brown leathern portman-
teau cordei with a rope, and a carpet-bag of a green ground
and dark brown stripe.
The party stayed in the room warm-
ing themselves by the fire, and Leduc conversed freely with
the Customhouse officers who were there. He told them
that he was going to place the children at a school about
eight leagues from Boulogne. He left the Customhouse with
the children about 7 o'clock in the evening, and was no uioi
seen until late in the night, when he went to visit his wit()
in the Rue do Bras d'Or, and slept there all night, It is
supposed that he left for Eugland by the Folkestone boat
at 2 30 p.m. to-day (Monday), or he may have gone to
Calais, or indeed elsewhere. At all events, M. Brayer, the
very active Commissioner of Police in Boulogne, is using
every exertion to find him, and the police are on the alert
in every direction. M. Brayer has telegraphed to London,
Folkestone, Dover, Calais, and other places in France, wilh
the following description of Leduc :—lle is of small stat ure
thin face, blown hair, small reoustache,:and wears a detle
brown paletot, ditto trousers (ragged at the bottom) a
broad-brimmed, low, dark or black • Jim Crow hat. The
children seemed to have belonged to the better Clete of
artie ens.
