The Moniteur de la Meurthe states that three
days ago two enormous wolves attacked the sheepfold of a
farmer at Relaicourt. They killed two sheep, one of which
was left on the spot, but the other was dragged away to a
distance of more than 500 yards. Two other sheep were
seriously injured. The wolves, being disturbed by the
, people of the farm, fled towards the village, when the inha-
bitants were alarmed and turned out with their dogs in
pursuit. They, however, got off.
GLASGOW, JUNE 21.--Cotton : We have had an
active market this week at stiffening prices. A fair inquiry
has resulted in a good business, considering the size of
docks, daily. Goods and Yarns : The market has been
active during the week at advancing rates. Good yarns
are getting exceedingly scarce and dear. Iron : The pig
iron market has again been heavy during the week—prices
having given way fully 6d. per ton, on light export returns
and unfavourable weather, 525. ld. cash, the lowest price
accepted for warrants. To-day there has been more in-
quiry; 525. 3d., cash, might have been made, but sellers
held for 525. 41d., and there was little or nothing done.

GREAT FIRE NEAR ST. KATHARINE'S DOCK.—
Last night, shortly after eleven o'clock, the inhabitants of
East Smithfield were suddenly alarmed owing to a fire of
a serious character breaking out in the extensive range of
premises belonging to Mr. Henry Worley, export cooper,
situate in Loote's-buildings, East Smithfield. The engines
quickly arrived, but the flames continued their work of de-
vastation, awl it was past one o'clock this morning before
the flames could be 'extinguished, and not until the exten-
sive premises of Mr. Worley were destroyed, and the con-
tents consumed.

READY IN SEASON.--A lady at Brighton lost an
infant child a short time since, and came out in deep mourn-
ing. When asked why she put on mourning for the death
of an infant child, she replied, "I didn't put on mourning
for the child alone ; but my husband is ailing, and I don't
think he would live long; so I thought I would be pre-
pared."

BULL FIGHT EXTRNORDINARY.—On Tuesday
morning last an extraordinary and fatal fight took place
between a furious bull and an entire horse at Lynn, both
being the property of Mr. James Coker. It appears that
they were both grazing in a field near the Chase, and early
in the morning, for some reason or other, they engaged in
deadly combat, from which they could not be parted. The
sight is described by an eye• witness as a most terrible ono,
these noble animals tearing up the earth, and making the
air reverberate with their hideous noises. It was soon found
that the struggle would be fatal to one if not both of the
COmbetentP, and at length rho hull's terrible horns baying
done frightful execution, actually goring great holes in the
body of the horse, the bull became the victor, the horse,
which was worth £6O, dropping down dead.
THE LEGITIMATE KING OF HUNGARY.—It may
be remembered that a member of the French House of
Croy, which claims to be descended from the early kings
of Hungary, lately published a pamphlet inviting the
attention of the Hungarian people to his own rights as the
legitimate heir of Arpad to ascend his ancestral throne
as soon as the independence of the country should have
been achieved.. The publication of the pamphlet, how-
ever, drew upon the son of Arpad no greater mark of at-
tention than a printer's bill, which ho demurred to, and
for which, accordingly, a legal judgment was obtained
against him. The illustrious scion of Hungarian royalty,
M. do Croy Chanel, " Prince Augustus of Hungary,"
applied on Saturday to the Civil Tribunal of the Seine,
demanding that a judgment by default, condemning
him to pay a sum of 2,817 f. toM.Krautz,wholesale stationer,
should be quashed, on the ground that he did not owe the
money. The counsel fur M. Krantz, in opposing the appli-
cation, stated that in August last M. do C ray Chanel had
obtained for his client a quantity of paper for printing a
pamphlet advocating his (M. de Croy's) claim to the crown
of Hungary, as being a direct descendant of Attila, the chief
of the Huns. The paper was furnished, and the pamphlet,
entitled " Les Fils d'Arpad," was sosn after published.
Not being able to obtain payment, M. Krantz commenced
legal proceedings, and a judgment was given in his favour,
as we have already mentioned. The Tribunal, after hear-
ing the defendant's statement, decided that M, de Croy had
alleged no valid reasons in support of his application, and
accordingly confirmed the judgment.
