A GOOD ANECDOTE is told of one of the little
kings at Frankfort. He wanted his army instructed in the
use of the Armstrong gun, so got one, but was obliged to ask
leave of the next king to have the target put up in his king-
dom, his own not being big enough for the Armstrong
range I
LOST IN TEE HILLs.—A gentleman from the
granite city who arrived at Wick a week or two
ago with the intention of " doing" the northern counties,
was this week in his over anxiety to get over the ground,
very nearly " doing" himself. It appears that ho had
reached the west of Sutherland, and having taken up his
quarters with a friend there spent a day or two seeing what
was to be seen in his locality. Time was precious, however,
and our friend, contrary to the early solicitations of his host,
resolved to set out for Bettyhill, his next stage, at a late
hour in the afternoon ; and to shorten the distance, as he
supposed, he, instead of taking the road, tried to reach his
destination by a short cut through the hills. For an hour
or two he got along to his entire satisfaction, but dark-
ness coming on, he began to find that a journey in the
dark over such a road was anything but comfortable
work. To make his bed on the hill-side, however, was
hardly a pleasant prospect either, and he accordingly floun-
dered on as he best could, determined to get to the end of
his journey; but after wandering about for a considerable
time, and finding the difficulties of his path increasing, he
was at length forced to lay himself down on the heath to
rest his wearied limbs. Our hero now began to feel sadly
when too late the folly of having neglected the counsels of
his friend, but with the best philosophy he could muster, he
came to the resolution, rather than run the risk of
tumbling over some craggy precipice, or of sinking into
some bottomless bog, to remain where he was till daylight
should reveal to him the true nature of his position--
the miseries of which it is needless for us to recount.
To the infinite satisfaction, however, of the belated
traveller, the faint streaks of the rising sun ultimately be-
gan to dawn upon the earth, and to shed its welcome beams
upon the path of our hero. With the light of day his spi-
ritsi rose, and stretching his stiffened limbs, he got to his
feet to survey the scene of his wretched experiences but

requested to retain the reins of government in Malta until
that event shall take place. How long we may have to wait
for its consummation it is impossible to say at present; but
from certain indications we should think that a much longer
time is likely to elapse before the necessary formalities aro
completed, and the Islands are formally
conceded, than is
supposed by the general public."

the county treasurer was read to the Board of Guardians
at their meeting on Saturday, stating that if the amount
of county rate due from the Blackburn union was not
paid by the Bth inst., application would be made at the
forthcoming sessions at Preston for warrants against the
defaulting townships. It was said that the Blackburn
township owed £5,000 on this account.

Dundee, and after the presentation of the burgess ticket to
the noble earl a grand procession will take place. and at 4
o'clock the park will be opened, and the keys and charter
handed over by Sir David Baxter to Lord Dalhousie in be-
half of the inhabitants. A statue of the munificent donor
will be inaugurated, and music, fireworks, and balloon
ascents will contribute to the festivities of the evening.
Lord Russell is expected to arrive in Dundee about 9 a.m.
from Meiklour-house, Perthshire, and to return the same

evening.
VIENNA, 4th.—The Correspondance Generale
states that Count de Rechberg and M. de Biegelben

real conference of Ministers, but a meeting of states-
men charged with the task of terminating the work
examined and sanctioned by their Sovereigns, and
taking measures for putting into execution the re-
suit of the deliberations of the CongrQ'zs."
