Captain Frederick A. B. Crauford (1856), who
recently commanded the Archer on the coast of Africa sta-
tion, has been appointed to her Majesty's ship Madagascar
at Rio de Janeiro, vice Richard D. White, term of service
expired.—Army and Navy Gazette.
The result of the competitive examination for
assistant-clerkships in the Royal Navy was made known

40 candidates only 19 were found qualified. Amongst the
latter were Messrs. White, Page, and Beer, who passed
from North Gore House, Southsea.—Army and Navy
Gazette.
The Duke of Somerset, K.G., was at the Admi-
ralty yesterday for the transaction of public business. The

appointed by the representatives of the Emperor of China
in this country, to take command of the screw steam gun-
vessel Amoy, now getting ready in the Thames for active
service.—Army and Navy Gazette.

WHAT BECOMES OF ALL THE PINS P—Any of
our male readers sufficiently domesticated to feel interested
in the solution of this mystery may satisfy their curiosity
and become martyrs to discovery by visiting a sewer which
has just been opened for repairs in Rea-street. The sewer

is one of the oldest in Birmingham. At the bottom of it

there is a deposit as hard as the "slag" from a blast fur-
nace, and in this deposit millions of pins are imbedded. A
piece about the size of a man's fist picked up at random on
Wednesday fairly bristled with them, and this was but a
specimen of a great mass of such matter. In another way
too, the deposit is a curiosity, for, independently of the
pins, it enclosed a heterogeneous collection of old pocket
knives, marbles, buttons, and other articles of the kind,
that were probably wept sower as lost when the "oldest
inhabitant" was being whipped at school. To persons of
an investigating turn of mind, not gifted with too acute
olfactory nerves, a pound or two of the deposit wtll afford
an hour's harmless amusement.—Birmingham Post.

THE FLAX-SEED CROP.—A good deal of inquiry
has been made of us regarding flax-seed. The crop is a
large one and has been saved in good order. The yield is
fully 20 per cent. greater than that of last year. The con-
tract system controls the great bulk of the crop, however,
so that the price is an arbitrary one, and indicates nothing.
The crushers furnished the seed to the farmers on condition
that they sell them the crop at one dollar per bushel, and
hence this is the price that the farmer now gets.—Oincin-
nati Price Current.
THE EMPRESS EUGENIE'S BOUDOIR. —Luau-
rious, and yet elegant splendour, most refined judgment,
and a poetic temperament are revealed in the arrange-
ments of the boudoir of the Empress Eugenie. The
doors are made of ivory, inlaid with gold ; the fur-

niture is rosewood, of graceful shape, and inlaid with
gold, mirrors, or ivory ; the sofas and chairs are covered
with pale red silk; the walls hung with a dark paper,
and the ceiling is an exquisite fresco. A magnificent
Syrmian carp6t voluptuously deadens the sound of foot-
steps. Around hang the most valuable paintings of the
old masters, borrowed from the Louvre Gallery and Ver-
sailles, as well as two family portraits in oil, overshadowed
by palms, ododendra, and camellias. The window-ledges
are constantly adorned with fresh flowers ; and on the
writing-desk lie splendid portfolios, and books bound in
tortoiseshell inlaid with gold. Nothing is wanting
which a sense of complete luxury can devise ;
not even the toning of the light. The red silk
curtains, heavily edged with black velvet, throw a
subdued hue over every object, and any one who enters the
room may imagine that he is inhaling poetry.--se. James's
Magazine.

THE HARVEST IN LEICESTERSHIRE.—With the
exception of Tuesday night (when there was a considerable
fall of rain) the weather this week has on the whole been
favourable for harvest work, and operations have been
vigorously prosecuted. A fair breadth of wheat has been car-
ried around Leicester, and the yield and quality are much
better than was ant icipated. On the light soils the crops
are more or less affected by red gum and the ears deficient
at the bottom. On the well-drained land the crops are ex-
cellent and the yield, taken as a whole, will be larger
than that of the past two years. Barley is somewhat irre-
gular, but generally speaking there will be quite an average
crop. Oats have done very well indeed. In some places
beans have been attacked by the fly, but no damage of im-
portance has been sustained and the crop promises to yield
satisfactorily. In the vicinity of the vale of Belvoir,
Market Harborough, Lutterworth, and other places, the
harvest has made good progress, and the wheat crop is
mostly well spoken of. Barley promises to yield largely,
and the same may be said with respect to oats and beans.
The prospects of the farmer are altogether of a more favour-
able character than might have been expected after the late
inclement season,

FIRST ARRIVAL FROM NEW ORLEANS.—Last
evening the ship Theodore Knoop, of Liverpool, arrived in
the Mersey from New Orleans, beiny, the first ship from
that port since the blockade was raised. She sailed on the
2GthJuly, and has on freight 1,215 bales cotton, 3,395 bags
oil-cake, 353 bundles hides, 25,250 staves, and 1,555 dols.
in specie. The Theodore Knoop was among the first to
enter the Mississippi, having arrived there previous to the
10th of June.

Advices from Moscow state that the Emperor
of Russia has been received in that city with as much en-
thusiasm as on the occasion of his coronation. This fact
will not appear unimportant when it is remembered that
Moscow, the capital of ancient Russia, has always been
considered a centre of opposition to the liberal reforms
which mark the reign of Alexander 11.

The Princess's Theatre, advertised to be let last
week, has this week found a tenant in a gentleman new to
the records of the stage. The new management is to enter
on it in October, and will, it is understood, make comedy
its distinguishing feature and specialtie,
The St. James's Theatre will, it is rumoured, be
given up by the present management in a short time.
Mdlle. Lia Felix, the sister of the immortal
Rachel, has produced an immense sensation at the New
Theatre de la Gaiete, in a "grand drama in five acts and
six tableaux," the production of MM. Dennery and Dugue.
M. Berton was also very successful in the chief male cha-
racter.

The camp at Chalons is at present entirely evacu-
ated, with the single exception of the 12th Regiment of In-
fantry, which will remain there thrcugh the winter to guard
the matdriel and to complete the roads and other improve-
ments. Detachments of the Engineers and of the Waggon
Train and Works Corps will also remain to aid in executing
the said works, and batteries of artillery will likewise be
successively sent to exercise therewith rifled cannon of a
new model.
The formal opening of the Boulevard du Prince
Eugene is fixed for the 15th November, the fete of St.
Eugene. Standf are already being erected for the sol3niy
at the Place du Trone. It is expected that the
model of
the triumphal arch to be erected
there will be finished, and
covered with painted canvas by the above date, so as to give
ar
a tolerable idea of the intended monument'
