MISCELLANEOUS.

The growth of grass is great in several parts of the
centre of the road from Bawtry to Doncaster ; on the
road between Stamford and Grantham, the road for seve-
ral miles forms a noble green lane.

About three weeks ago Ensign John Bendyshe, of
the 35th Depot, stationed at Portsmouth, left his quar-
ters with the intention of paying a visit to a friend near
Tichfield, and has not since been heard of. Fears are
entertained that he has been robbed and murdered. A
reward of 2001. and a free pardon, have been offered, ex-
cept to the actual murderer.
On Wednesday afternoon a " young man of fash-
ionable exterior" did the landlord of the Bull Inn,
Chelmsford, out of a " handsome dinner, wine and des-
sert." The same absent-minded gentleman also walked
off, in the hurry of business, with an " excellent black
mare," valued at twenty pounds. Of course he has been
invisible ever since. The moral we deduce from these
facts is, that " a fashionable exterior " is a most success-
ful element in swindling.
We learn from the Nottingham Mercury, that on
Sunday last a large congregation assembled in the parish
church of a rich rectory, in order to hear divine service
read_ " After the bells had rung a considerable time,"
says our Contemporary, " no clergyman made his ap-
pearance." Inquiry was made as to the cause of his ab-
sence, when it was found that the minister of God had
goon out on a shooting excursion! What will Sir An-
drew Agnew say to this?
The Tories are giving and taking public dinners in
all quarters. They have been dining at Ashford, in Eist
Kent—at Iloniton—at Shaftesbury—and at Stirling—
evidently imagining that their present position is one that
justifies their wildest exultation. At the East Kent din-
ner, Sir E. Dering, the Chairman, congratulated the
company on the " unity of purpose" that would be sure
to distinguish the—proximate Tory Ministers. In one
respect the Tories will certainly be united—that is to
say, in an unflinching determination to take all they can
get for themselves, and to do no more than they can help
for the people.

VENING SUN

AMERIC AN NEWS•

FOUR DAYS LATER. FROM THE

UNITED STATES

We have received New York papers to the 23d inclu-
sive, brought by the Baltimore, which reached Havre on
the 12th. They contain but little intelligence worth ex-
tracting.
The following paragraph from the Oneida Observer is
the only reference we find in these papers to the case o

A number of journals have stated confidently that an
appeal would 'be taken from the recent decision .of. the
Supreme Court, in the case of M'Leod, to the Court
of. Errors. This, we believe, is an error. It is not,
we understand, intended by the counsel of M'l.eod to
move for an appeal, but to bring the case to trial
as soon as may be, probably in this county, in ue-
cordance, we learn, with the expressed wish of
the prisoner. The argument of the Supreme Court is
deemed to have settled .conclusively the legal points in the
controversy ; and the hope of obtaining a reversal of its
decision by an appeal to the Court of Errors, is not, w 3
believe, indulged by any body. M'Leod is now
in
charge of • the Sheriff of this county, in whose cus-
tody he will probably remain until his trial, which we
learn he is anxious should take place as soon as possible,
being entirely confident, as he asserts, of his ability to
furnish the most conclusive proof that he had no parti-
cipation in the outrage for which he stands indicted.
Since writing the above, we have learned that the Su-
preme Court, on application of M‘Leod's counsel, have
granted an order changing the venue for his trial to this
county. It will take place in September.
(From the Journal of Commerce of the 23d.)
THE LOAN.—The Bill which has passed both Houses
of Congress, providing for a loan of twelve milliD"
of dollars, makes the scrip redeemable in three year'
absolutely, and at any time upon six months' notice
from the Government. These provisions will pro-
bably prevent the stock from being taken by
foreign capitalists. The time is too short and tr.
uncertain to enlist them. In this market the same o
jection will have its influence, and as the stock maimt,
like treasury notes, be used in the payment of duties,
nor sent about the country as a remittance, the market
for it will be confined to those pt,
ersons who take it as
to
be temporary investment. Where and how the interest is

well as a five or ten years' stock, nor so well as treasury
notes. A Five per Cent. stock payable in five Years'
would have been taken instantly at par, perhaps St
