ployed than in the corresponding period of 1861 for
the entries inwards, and 105,287 tons for the

been established, Consols being 931 I. The New

chequer Bills steady at 17s. to 21s. prem.; Bank

GREAT MEMORIES.—WiIIiam Lyon, an itinerant
actor, known in Edinburgh about 100 years ago, one even=
ing over a bcttle with some of his theatrical brethren,
'wagered a crown bowl of punch that the following day at
rehearsal he would repeat the whole of a
"Daily Adver-
tiser." The players, wh.3 considered this as mere bravado,
paid little attention to it; but as Lyon was positive, one
of them accepted the wager. I he next, morning at rehearsal,
ho reminded Lyon of his bet, imagining a' he was drunk
the night before he must certainly have forgotton it, and
rallied him on the ridiculons boasting of his meal
,
ory Lyon
produced the paper, desired the other to look at it and
decide the wager. Notwithstanding the want of
connec-
tion in the paragraphs, the variety of advertisements, and
the general chaos which forms the composition of a taws_
paper, he repeated it throughout without the least hesitft.

Tuscorara left Plymouth under steam at half-past 8 yester-
day morning for the westward. She is destined, it is said,
for a port on the other side of the Channel, and may ulti-
mately go to Cadiz,
