THE ITALIAN CAPTIVES IN BoKuARA.—The four
Italian gentlemen so long kept in captivity by the
Khan of Bokhara have been at length released, and have
arrived in safety in their native country. The thanks of
the King of Italy have been conveyed to the Viceroy for
the cordial co-operation of the British Government in en-
deavouring to effect the release of the four unfortunate
captives ; and it• is certain that their escape from a state
of extreme peril has been a very narrow one. They have
been in captivity in the horrible dungeons of Bokhara for
more than a year, exposed to every kind of indignity and
privation, and in daily fear of being put to a sudden and
painful death.—Honieward Mail.
THE FOUNDER OF RUGBY SCHOOL.—Lawrence
Sheriff, grocer, of the City of London, and member
of the Worshipful Company of Grocers, founded the cele-
brated Rugby School, and at his death, in 1567, left his
parsonage at Brownsover, his mansion at Rugby, and a
portion of his estate in Middlesex for the endowment of the
school. The land, which then consisted of a green field, is
now covered by part of Lamb's Conduit-street. At the
time of the bequest it was worth about £lO per year. The
present annual revenue from all the property, of which this
forms the most valuable portion, is about £s,ooo.—The
Grocer of to-day.
EMIGRATION.—The Governor of the State of
New York, in his inaugural Message, delivered on the 2d
inst., stated that 182,766 alien immigrants arrived at the
port of New York in the course of the year 1864—an in-
crease of more than 25,000 over the number in 1863, and
as large a number as in any year since 1854. With the
per capita tax of $2 per alien the Emigration Commis-
sioners are erecting new hospital buildings, which are to
be ready for occupation in the spring.
