SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
MANN V. CARTER.
This was an 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 for extra hours,
at 6d. per hour. There was no interest in the facts,
but defendant's attorney said that had the action been
brought in the County Court his client could have proved
payment and set off, but as it was he was debarred, as
the plea was only one of general issue. He would, how-
ever, apply to a judge to deprive the plaintiff of costs.
Verdict for the amount claimed.
This was the only ewe triA.

M'DOUGAL'S TARTANs.—Mr. Donald M'Dougal,
one of the most enterprising men of an enterprising race, to
whom may ba attributed the introduction of tweeds
and tartans as ordinary articles of, at least, English
apparel, and whose beautiful specimens of these
articles, exhibited in London at the Exhibition,
have been the admired of all observers, has recently added
largely to his manufactured stock of tartaus 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 Queen and
Royal Family. As an exhibition of one of the most impor-
tant products of British industry, it is well worth a visit,
and those who ascend the mountains or traverse the moors,
or cross the lakes of Caledonia, would do well to clothe
themselves in the damp-defying fabric the tartan.
MUSICAL FETE AT MULGRAVE 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 Mulgrave House, on the
banks of the river, between Parson's-green and Fulham. The
bands of the six Household regiments, with that of the
Royal Artillery, played in concert overtures and selections from
the Camp of ,Nilesia, Le Prophefe, and other favourite compo-
sitions, with great effect. The company was rather select
than numerous, owing in part to the c►ouded sky 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 insti utiou may be carried on without delay to
their completion.
THE METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY COMMlT-
TEE.—Yesterday Mr. Sergeant Wrangham 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 GREAT CUESS TOURNAMENT.—ACCOrding to
agreement, Messrs. Staunton and Williams sat down onWed-
nesday morning to play their seventh, and, it was expected,
concluding game. They commenced playing at eleven
o'clock A.M., and at ten P.M. the game was yet undecided.
Yesterday morning the players renewed the contest, and,
after four hours' more 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 immediately taken
advantage of by his antagonist, who, by sacrificing a piece,
obtained the power of 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 prize, to play a match of twenty-one games for a hun-
dred potted& Herr Anderssen, as we are told, accepts, on
condition that, as he is obliged within a short time to return
to his duties in Germany, they shall play five days in the
week ; and that either player failing. to attend without suffi-
cient cause, shall be considered to h ave lost a game.

THE CHINESE JUNK.--L tst evening we as-
sisted, to use the French term, at. the grand Chinese fes-
tiv,..l on board the Keying, near the Essex-street pier, and in
justice we must say we were highly pleased with the
wholegr great
of the performance. The scene on board was brilliant in
the extreme, the immense junk beinig illuminated from stein
to stern with thousands of variega,ted lamps and a
variety of Chinese lanterns, which igave the whole a most
unique appearance. The entertainanents consisted of a
variety of Chinese performances, vocal and instrumental,
also the mode of attack and defence adopted in the flowery
land; the whole concluded with a ball on deck in our own
style, conducted by Mr. li. Cooper, and accompanied by an
excellent band under the direction of Mr. Harroway. we
recommend all those who wish to pa ea a delightful evening to
visit the junk and spend a night with the Chinese.

The marriage of Lord Edward Howard to Miss
Talbot was fixed to take place yesterday (Wednesday); but

been postponed for a few days. It is said that after the
marriage the newly-married couple win reside some time in
retirement at Arundel Castle, preparatory to taking a Conti-
nel tal tour. —Brighton Gazette.
