BIRTH.—At Sduthampton, on the 26th of Feb-
ruary, the lady of Captain J. F. Du Vernet, of a son.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, FEB. 26.—The
sugar-market has been in a moat unioteresting state during
the past week. The quantity on show is ,xtremely li-
mited, and the prices such as afford no inducement to pur-
chase. The country generally are acting with the greatest
caution, under a strong conviction of an impending de-
cline. The trade is in consequence unusually fiat, and
there certainly exists also an universal reluctance to press
business.—Bristol Mercury,
ENORMOUS FISH.—On Monday last, Walter
Fairbairn, skipper of the Star of Cove, caught a ling fish,
which weighed 631ba., and measured Si feet. It was a
well proportioned fish, and the largest which has been
caught at the Cove for several years. —Berwick Advertiser.
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 3.—This being the
first day of the Courban Bairan, the Sultan repaired to the
Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, to perform the usual devotion. On
the preceding day, several appointments in the departments
of the interior were published. Hadschi Kiamel Pacha, late
Tali of Ardin, is appointed Governor of Erzeroum. M. Fran-
ceschi, a man in every respect highly distinguished, who was
employed in the foreign department as editor of the Moniteur,
died here last night.
Arthur Henry, son of Mr. S. W. Brown, of
Brentwood, a youth little more that] ten years of age, but of
great musical promise, has been appointed organist to the new
church at Brentwood. On Sunday week he commenced his
duties, when he gave universal satisfaction. He is supposed to
be the youngest organist in the kingdom.—lpswich Express.
THE MARQUIS ow WATERFORD.—The ap-
proaehtig election of a Lord Rector for Marischal College will
nr;si probably afford some amusement. The Non-intrusion-
ists could not allow the young gentlemen to exercise their own
judgment, brit attempted to force on them the Kirk-ridden
Lord Advocate. What was the result? Why, the boys would
not be dictated to ; and, to show their contimpt for Non-in-
trusion and all other pharisaical humbug, started, in opposi-
tion, the Marquis of Waterford! 'This ce:chrated nobleman
has, it is said, a good chance of being returned—at all events
a batter than the Lord Advocate ; and we must confess that
we are not a bit sorry that such should be the case.—Aberdeex
Herald.
