Glengarry estate, a fine Highland property, has
been sold by the Earl of Dudley, to Edward Ellice, Esq.,
of Glenquoich, at the price of £120,000. Mr. Ellice some
years ago purchased his present property of Glenquoich
from the late Glengarry, and, by his new acquisition, be-
comes proprietor of the greater portion of the old Glengarry
estates—the other considerable portion being Knoydart,
which was purchased by James Baird, Esq.
THE NORTHERN BURGHS.—The Scotsman of
yesterday states that the day for the election of an M.P.
for the Northern Burghs, in the room of Mr. Laing, is ex-
pected to be about the 16th proximo. By letters received
from Wick, we learn that Lord Bury is still the only candi-
date, and that the rumours of opposition are becoming fewer
and fainter. His lordship is in London, having been sud-
denly called up from Wick in consequence of Lady Bury
being delivered of a still-born child. He is expected to visit
Dingwall, Tain, Cromarty, and Dornoch in the course of
next week.
The town of Brighton (says the Gazette) never
was so full of visitors as at the present moment, and the last
few fine days have brought them out in countless numbers
to enjoy the beauty of our Marine promenade and drive.
So mild was the weather on Tuesday, that ladies found
parasols of great comfort to keep off tke warmth of the sun.
This is no exaggeration, for Tuesday was as warm almost
as any day we have had throughout the summer. Lord and
Lady Bridport, Lady Harold, and Baron Wilde and Lady
Mary Wilde Are among the latest arrivals at the Bedford
Hotel. Count and Countess Bernstorff have taken their
departure from 1, Be:grave-place.
STEAM TO NEW YORK.—SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 31.
—The North German Lloyd screw steamship Bremen,
Captain H. Wessels, sailed hence to-day for New York,
taking out German and English naails, about 260 passen-
gers, and a full cargo. The New York steamship of the
same line, Captain Von Sauten, is due off Cowes on the 7th
proximo rom New York, with mails of the 27th inst. The
Vanderbilt steamer Captain Lefevre, is hourly expected
from New York, with mails of the 20th inst., and leaves
again on her return voyage on Wednesday, the 7th Nov.
The Hamburg-American Company's screw steamer Teu-
tonia, Captain Taube, will leave this port, with German
and English mails for New York on Sunday next.
MANCHESTER.—PRESENTS TO GARIBALDI.—In
reference to the presentation to Garibaldi of a quantity of
haversacks, camp bed bottoms, ambulances, cavalry corn
sacks, and other useful articles, by Mr. Briggs, merchant,
of the city of Manchester, we understand that gentleman
has received from the liberator of Italy an autograph letter,
of which the following is a translation :—" Sir,—l have
received the bale which you kindly sent me to supply the
great wants of my army. I thank you very particularly,
and I also thank you in the name of my country. The
sympathy and proofs of interest which every day we receive
from your noble and generous country convince us still
more of the justice of our cause, and it is knowledge of our
right s that give us the victory. I am at your service when-
ever I am able.—G. GARIBALDI.—Mr. T. Briggs,"
THE QUEEN AND THE ETON BOYS.—On Friday
last her Majesty, attended by the ladies and gentlemen of
the Court, rode:out on horseback, and on returning to the
Castle the Royal party were overtaken by a shower of rain.
As they were passing the lodge-gate of the Eton playing-
fields, two of the students were standing near, who, with
the politeness of an Etonian, asked if they might be per-
mitted to offer to the Queen and her lady in attendance
their umbrellas. The offer was graciously accepted by her
Majesty. Shortly afterwards the rain ceased, and the um-
brellas were brought back to the young gentlemen by Lord
A. Paget, the Equerry in Waiting, with her Majesty's
likeness on the obverse side of a sovereign, which the
Queen had sent to each of the boys, in acknowledgment of
their politeness. The delighted youths lost no time iu en-
gaging the services of Mr. Martin, the Eton jeweller, far
the purpose of having them appended to their watch chains,
an ornament, it need not be added, they prize far beyond
the intrinsic value of their gold watches. The names of
the youths are the Hon, Mr. Ponsonby and Mr. Salt, son
of the member for Stafford, both pupils in the house of Mr.
Waite.
VICTOR EMMANUEL AND FRANCIS ll.—The
Union has the following :—" Several journals commit an
error, and we ourselves have not escaped, In describing
the relationship which exists between the King of Naples
and the King of Sardinia as that of nephew and uncle. This
is owing to the word nepote in the Italian language signify-
ing not only ' nephew,' but the child of other relatives than
brothers and sisters, even of cousins. Itjis then a mere
form of language to call Francis 11. the nelonsew' of Victor
Emmanuel. The King of the Two Sicilies is not the son of
a sister of the King of Piedmont, but of a female cousin
somewhat distant in degree, but nevertheless his nearest
relative. The King, in fact, is son of Maria Christina
Caroline, daughter of the late Victor Emmanuel 1., King
of Sardinia, the last Sovereign but one of the elder branch
of the House of Savoy. It was this Princess who was a
model of all virtues, and is most affectionately remembered
in Naples; who is called 'the Saint.' Victwe Emmanuel
11., son of Charles Albert, is the second Ktag of the branch
of Carignan, The Queen of Naples was the last descendant
of the direct Royal race of Savoy, and as such, as we have
said, the nearest relative of Victor Emmanuel II."
REFUSAL TO BURY A DRUNKARD.—At Frome on
Monday considerable stir was made by the circumstances
under which a man has been buried here. An inquest was
held a day or two since on a man named Deacon, who was
for many years a gravedigger at the parish church, when
the jury returned a verdict of "Died from natural causes."
It appears that application to bury the deceased was made
to the Rev. J. Shaw, one of the curates of the parish church,
the vicar of which, the Rev.. W. J. E. Bennett, is now tra-
velling on the Continent. Mr. Shaw refused to bury the
man Deacon, as did also the Rev. Mr. Bedford, the other
curate. They alleged as a reason, it is said, the dissolute
habits of deceased, and that some years since he was sen-
tenced to some months' imprisonment for being concerned
with others in stealing from the church some cloth. How-
ever this may be, they refused to bury the man, and it was
determined to inter him at the Wesleyan chapel. The re-
latives, however, subsequently altered their resolve, and
determined to force his burial in the parish churchyard. At
four o'clock on Monday, therefore, the body was brought
to the churchyard, attended by four mourners and a large
crowd. The grave was found to be only partially dug, and
having waited for this to be completed, the coffin was
lowered, and, without a word of prayer or other service, the
wife threw in a clod, and the party withdrew, amid the loud
'4execrations of the crowd on the conduct of the clergymen.
There is no doubt that this extraordinary conduct will be
immediately brought under the notice of the bishop of the
diocese.— Western Daily Press.
CHESS —The great chess match between Messrs.
B. Horwitz and I. E olisch, to which we have already had
occasion to advert, was continued, as by preconcert, on
Tuesday afternoon. The amount of interest centered upon
this great mental conflict it would be hard to exaggerate.
As matters now stand, each party having been successful
in scoring one game, the winner of the next two will be
entitled to the honours of victory. In consequence of the
indisposition of Mr. Horwitz, an armistice of 24 hours has
been agreed upon, and play will be resumed at two p.m.
this day.
THE FORTHCOMING FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPION-
SIIIP.—Yesterday evening there was a great gathering of
members of the prize ring and admirers of the pugilistic art
at the public-house known as The Three Tuns, Moor-street,
Soho, kept by a noted pugilist named Alec Keene, for the
purpose of witnessing the final deposit in reference to the
great fight which is to come off on Tuesday next. The
stakes are £4OO and the championship of England, the belt,
which is the token of the championship, having been left
in the hands of the referee, after the contest between Sayers
and Heenan, to be fought for by any persons who might be
courageous enough to enter the lists for the purpose. Al-
though the betting has not been so large as in the late com-
bat between Sayers and the Benicia Boy, an immense
amount of money has been staked, many gentlemen hold-
ing high positions in society being of the number who are
backing one or other of the candidates for the chief honour
of the ring—namely, Tom Paddock and Sam Hurst, known
as "The Staleybridge Infant." As in the case of the last
battle, there is a great disparity between the ages of the
men, Paddock being 36 years of age, and Hurst barely 25.
Paddock held the championship for some time, but was de-
prived of it by the superior skill of Sayers, not, however,
without a tolerably severe struggle. It was confidently
stated at the meeting last night that so secluded and unsus-
pected a place has been selected for the forthcoming fight,
that there will be no chance of an interruption from the
police.

A PRIZE FIGHT PREVENTED.—Arrangements
had been made for a prize, fight to take place on Tuesday
morning between a man named Taylor, of Sfanningley,
near Leeds, and a Bradford beerhouse keeper) called Wood-
ruffe, on a retired part of Sowerby Moor, five miles from
Halifax, but the combat was prevented by the interference
of the police. The stakes, we understand, were £25. Mr.
Superintendent Wardle, of the Halifax division, had inti-
mation given to him that the fight was likely to take place
in the parish of Halifax. The men under his direction
had instructions to hold themselves in readiness. The
police were put upon the track by a number of cabs
entering Halifax from Bradford very early on Tuesday
morning. A great number of rough looking men followed
on foot, Mr. Wardle assembled upwards of twenty, of the
police, and the greater number of them followed the cabs
to Luddenden Foot, where the people got out of them, and
walked up a steep hill to the moor. In the course of an
hour about 40Q ybrsons had collected. The police stopped
the format;:on of a ring, or any preparations for fighting.
Tho*morning. was very misty, and the police could not see
more than a few yards before them. The mob made a
I detour, in order to escape the police) and prepared to hold
the fight near the original pine, but it was prevented.
The police then kept the principals in view. The mob:were
finally dispersed, to their great dissatisfaction. The party
returned to Halifax, but in the course of a few hours they
left, ostensibly for 13ratiford.
