A letter from the Hague of the 30th ult., in the
Emancipation, says :—" The Archduke of Austria,
cousin of the Emperor, who arrived here yesterday
evening, received this morning a visit from Prince
Frederick. A grand dinner was given in his honour this
day in the palace of Prince Frederick."
MAD DOGS.—Yesterday an official notice from the
Metropolitan Police Commissioners was posted up in
various parts of the metropolis, cautioning the owners
of dogs from allowing them to be at large after receiving
due notice that they are in a rabid state. The
penalty is exceedingly heavy.
Mits. SEACOLE.—Mrs. Seacole, the celebrated pro-
prietress of the provision store in the Crimea, intends
setting up a similar establishment at Aldershot. Her
fame in this particular department of business is so well
known among all military men that success in her new
speculation is almost certain.
WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY.—Sir P. P. F.Palmer Ack-
land, Bart., has consented to preside at a public meeting,
which is to be held at Williton, near Taunton, on Wed-
nesday next, for the purpose of promoting a railway to
connect Williton and the West Somerset mineral dis-
trict with the Bristol and Exeter Railway.
The employes of the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany have presented Mr. A. G. Church, the late coach-
ing superintendent, with a testimonial of their esteem
and respect in the shape of an elegant Epergne, together
with a gold watch. Mr. Church had been connected
with the railway upwards of 16 years.
Tile officers who have lately held commands in the
Crimea will immediately be placed in similar positions on
the Staff at home. Five of them have been already
appointed to the command of brigades at Aldershot, and
several district staff appointments will shortly be vacated
to which other Crimean officers will, in all probability, be
named.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—CONCERT DAY, FRIDAY, July
4.—Admissions on payment, 1,833; ditto by season
tickets, 3,501 ; total visitors, 5,334.
CRYSTAL PALACE. CONCERTS.—Anotber magnificent
day saw another crowded and brilliant amlience alksem-
bled in the Palace at Sydenham, yesterday afternoon,
to listen to another capital concert—the eighth, and one
of the very best of the series. It is evident that the
nearer these performances draw towards an end the
more anxious are the public to be present.
PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE, HOUSE OF LORDS

DULWICH COLLEGE.—Yesterday the committee met again,
to consider the bill for changing the management of
Dulwich College and its other institutions, The remain-
ing clauses wet e gone through, and the bill was ordered
to be reported to the house. It is almost identical with
the scheme proposed by her Majesty's commissioners in
heir report.
The Gazette cle Cologne contains the following from
Bucharest, dated June 24 :--"The Fiench consul here
has received orders by telegraph not to sell the stores of
corn at Braila, Kalarasch, and Oltenitzs. It is thought
probable that it will be carried to France for distribution
among the sufferers by the inundations."
The Limerick Chronicle says that there is reason to be-
lieve in the correctness of a report which has been circu-
lated to the effect that Mr. James Sadleir, M.P. for
Tipperary, and director of the Tipperary Joint Stock
Bank, has been able to elude any criminal I,roceedine,,,s
which his connection with that notorious swindle might
entail. It is added that he got into a yacht near Kings-
town in the presence of two detectives under whose sur-
veillance he was, and that the policemen waited in vain
, for his return, as the yacht was met off Dublin hal bour
1 by an emigrant ship, in which he proceeded to America

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION FOR WRITERSHIPS IN
CETLON.—An examination has just taken place before
the Civil Service Commissioners for the vacant writer-
ships in Ceylon. The successful candidates were Mr.
H. W. Gillman, of Trinity College, Dublin, • and Mr.
T. Steele of Brompton, in Cumberland. These were
seven competitors.— Civil Service Gazette.
MINES.—The share market has been dull this week,
and prices, particularly in large. copper mine shares,
have considerably declined. This has been caused by
the rather sudden fall in the price of copper, announced
last week, and which seems to have created no small
amount of alarm among the holders of shares in many
of the expensively worked copper mines. We think,
however, on consideration, there is scarcely adequate
cause for this alarm, inasmuch as the fall in copper
which has now taken place has been long anticipated, in
the gradual decline in the standard for ores.—Mining
Journal of this day.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MILFORD AND AMERIOA.
—lt is stated that Milford Haven has been selected as the
port of departure for America of a lice of steamers of im-
mense tonnage and great power. Mr. E. Rail, of Boston,
in the United States, has been surveying the ground for
the purpose of running four steamers of 4,000 tons each.
Another gentleman, Mr. J. Croskey of Southampton, has
also been inspecting the port, for the purpose of ascer-
taining the capabilities for the departure thence of
steamers of immense power and tonnage. The latter
gentleman is the owner of large steamers plying between
Southampton and America ; but these are not to be re-
moved, as a perfectly new ine is to be created. The
owner of the Milford estates has given every facility for
the use of the land.
DANGEROUS USE OF STRYCHNINE.—The salmon fishers
in the employment of Mr. William L. Taylor, bank agent
here, have it in contemplation to adopt the following
novel method of destroying the seals, which are exceed-
ingly numerous about the salmon nets at Gollachy and
Buckie, and doing immense damage to the tishings in that
quarter this season. Strychnine, made up in the form of
pills,is to be the agent employed in their destruction, and
a young grilse the medium through which the " Palms-
) ian" medicine is to be administered. The grilse, imme-
diately after being captured, will be opened, and the pill
being inserted, it will then be neatly sewed up, and at-
tached to the net in such a manner as to have the appear.
ance of being alive in the act of swimming, and thus at-
trt the notice of the seals. It may be well, however
ac ,
in the event of any of the grilses so prepared becoming
detached from the net, and cast ashore, to warn parties
who may happen to find them not to use them, but to
destroy them at once. They will he easily detected, as
the sewing up,
.after inserting the strychnine, will be
quite visible. ahe p'an is to he put into operation on
amid after ‘Vednesday first.—Baeirshire Journal.
IMPROVEMENTS OF TRE -HARBOUR OF BREST.—The
Ocean of Brest contains the following :—" Extensive
works rendered necessary by the extension assumed daily
te our steam navy, are about to be commenced in this
port. On the 7th July the contract for executing the
works of excavation at the point of Salon, a labour the
cost of which is not expected to be under 1,200,000 f.,
whilst it can scarcely be effected under a space of three
yeere, will be offered for public competition. These pre-
liminary labours will only consist in the destruction of the
rock, which will be reduced to the level of the soil. When
that long and difficult task shall have been completed, it
will be a question of establishing'on the extensive space a
magnificent double dock, in which our line of battle ships
may be transformed without difficulty into screw steam-
ers. The advanced position of the point of Saha will
permit the construction of two entries and two outlets t
metres
o
this dock, the length of which will be 200 ,
breadth 50, with a depth of 11 metres."
