SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary PUTTER.)
MANN V. CARTER.
This was au action to recover the sum of 61. 14s. 3d.,
for wages.
Mr. DUNCAN appeared for the plaintiff, who is a jour-
neyman plasterer, and the demand was fir extra hours,
at 6d. per hour. There was no interest in the facts,
but det-u,!mut's attorney said that had the action been
brought iu the County Court hie client could have proved
payment and set cif, but as it was he was debarred, as
the plea was or.ly one of general issue. He would, how-
ever, apply :o a jrnli;e to deprive the plaintiff of costs.
V+ relict fur 0,, amount claimed.
This was the only ewe tri d.

M'DOUGAL'S TA.kiTANS.—Mr. Donald MTOUgal,
one of the most enterprising men of an enterprising race, to
whom may bs attributed the introduction of tweeds
and tartans as ordinary articles of, at least, English
apparel, and whose beautiful specimens of these
et ticles, exhibited in London at the Exhibition.
have been the admired of all observers, has recently added
largely to his manufactured stock of tartans at his ware-
house n Inverness. We strongly recommend all tourists in
the Highlands, whetner sportsmen, antiquarians, or plea-
sure-seekers, to visit when at Inverness the royal tartan
warehouse of the manufacturer of tartans to the Qut eu and
Royal Family. As lie exhibition of one of the moat impor-
tant product:. of British int ustry, it is well worth a visit,
and those aho ascend the mountains or traverse the moors,
or cross the lakes of Cairefunia, would do well to clothe
themselves in the damp-defying fabric the tartan.
F bTE AT MULGRAYR House —Yester-
day, by the liberality of Viscount Ranelagh, the military
musical festival lately held in the Gardens of Chelsea Hos-
pital was repeated in the grounds of alulgrave House, on the
banks of the river, between Parson's-green and Fulham. The
bends of the six Household regiments, with that of the
Royal Artillery, played in concert overtures and selections from
the amp of .Nilesia, i.e Prophete, and other favourite compo-
sitions, with great effect. The company was rather select
than numerous, owing in part to the clouded eky of the early
afternoon. The committee of the Hospital for Consumption
are anxious by these entertainments to raise funds sufficient,
so that the works already co menced for building the east
wing of the luati UtiO.l may be carried on without delay to
their completion.
THE •METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY COMMIT..
TEZ.—Yesterday Mr. Sergeant Wrangbam opened the case
for the companies in a long and able speech, with which the
Learned Counsel had only progressed half way when the
Committee rose, to re-assemble this day at twelve.
THE tiREAT CHESS TOUttaiaMENT.—According to
agreement, Messrs. Saitinton and Williams sat down onWed-
nesday morning to play their seventh, and, it was expected,
concluding ganie.
Thney commenced playing at eleven
o'clock , and at te
ras. the game was yet undecided.
Yesterday morning the players renewed the contest, and,
after four hours' mere play. the game was drawn. Mr. Wil-
liams, we believe, had at one period a winning position, but
a Somewhat weak move of his—very excusable, considering
the exhausting length of the contest—was Lamediately taken
ad. enrage of by his antagonist, who, by sacrificing a piece,
obtained the power or giving perpetual check and drawing
the game. They are to play again on Monday next. Mr.
Staunton has challenged Herr Anderssen, the winner of the
first priza, to play a match of twenty-one games for a hun-
dred potted& Herr Andersen, as we are told, accepts, on
conditiOn that, as he is ub iged M ithin a short time to return

THE CHINESE JUNE.—Last evening we all.
slated, to use the French term, at the grand Chinese fes-
tiv 1 on board the Keying, near the Essex-street
pier, and in
justice we must say we were highly pleased with the whole
of the performance. The scene on board was brilliant in
the extreme, the immense junk being illutninated from stem
to stern with thousands of variegated lamps and a great
variety of Chinese lanterns, which gave the whole a most
unique appearance. The entertainments consisted of a
variety of Chinese performances, vocal and instrumental,

land; the whole concluded with a ball
style, conducted by Mr. H. Cooper, and accompanied by an
excellent band under the direction of Mr. Harroway. We
