Among the passengers who landed at South-
ampton on Monday from the Royal Mail steamer Shannon
was a Spanish friar, who has been twenty-three years a
missionary amongst the Indian tribes of South America.
He has come to Europe for medical assistance. He was
wounded by the Indians, and one of the wounds he received
was in the nose. While lying in a state of insensibility,
owing to his 'wounded state, the ants and other voracious
insects of the tropics clustered on his nose and literally ate
it completely off. The missionary wore the cloak and girdle
of the order of friars.—Matichester Guardian.

It is rumoured that the applications in London
for the Russian Loan have amounted to nearly £4,500,000,
and that telegrams from Paris state the subscription in that
city to have reached £3,000,000, leaving only £2,500,000 to
meet the applications in Frankfort, Berlin, Amsterdam,
and Antwerp, which have probably exceeded that sum.
Should these accounts be confirmed, it will appear that the
estimate recently expressed regarding Russian credit was
perfectly correct.
OPENING OF THE NIDD VALLEY RAILWAY.-011
Thursday, this line of railway which connects the Pateley-
bridge district with Leeds, Bradford, and Manchester, was
opened to the public. The line is 11 miles long, starting
from Ripley Junction, and passes by Killinghall, Dacre
Banks, Birsthwaite (for Hampsthwaito and Wreaks), and
Patcley-bridge. It is laid with a single pair of rails, but
ground has been reserved for a double pair if the traffic in-
creases so as to require it,

all the bar-rooms. Every soldier is at his post. No permits
are granted, unless in cares of sickness, to leave the camps.
Al business in the city is suspended after three o'clock.
The afternoon is devoted to drilling. Every man is re-
quired to be a soldier. John, too, has gone to the army ;
Dr. kept him out a long time on account of his
delicate health; but no one with a drop of blood in his veins
can keep quiet in these times. If I had a dozen sons, I
should say go' to each of them, and could not love them if
they were sluggards in such a cause. The women are work-
ing, too, in their way—nursing at the hospitals, and doing
all they can to aid the soldiers. I was one of a party of
ladies who cut out 3,500 sandbags in half a day, 50,000 were
ordered, and done almost as soon. We stand ready to do
and to die if necessary. Husband, and what is more, Gene-
ral —, are confident that we can hold Mobile. If the city
is shelled, we are beggars. But I would rather live in Europe
as a lady's-maid or housekeeper than remain here, if the
Yankees are to overrun us. Ido not believe that any ratan
or woman of gentle birth or rearing, will want to live lore
with that vulgar barbarian to rule over them.
