able to return in that direction.

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—
The market is still very flat for yarns and cloths, and the
amount of transactions is very limited. Both the home
and export buyers are out of the market, except at extremely
low rates, and even at these prices they buy very sparingly.
THE IRISH KIDNAPPING CASE.—DUBLIN, June
12.—The Court of Queen's Bench gave judgment this day
in the case of Miss Aylward, declaring unanimously that
she had not purged herself from the contempt of Court, and
impounding the document in the matter, with a view of
affording ground for ulterior proceedings under the act
making child stealing a felony. Miss Aylward has been
bound over in heavy recognisances to appear when the
Court is prepared to pass sentence.
SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR CHESTER.—An inquest
was held on Monday afternoon at the Queens-ferry Hotel,
Chester, on the body of a well-dressed man, who was found
in a ditch at Queens-ferry in a state which left little doubt
that he had been murdered. The jury returned an open
verdict. The gentleman's name is unknown.

branch of the legal profession, the Dublin Warder men-
tions that the office of solicitor to the Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Godfrey Fether-
stone, is supposed to be worth nearly £3,000 a year. Six
of the leading Dublin professionals are already entered for
the race, but this number will, of course, be largely in-
creased before the end of another week.
ANOTHER BANK DEFAULTER.—On Monday
William Charles Driver a clerk employed in the bank of
Messrs. Gurneys and Birkbeck, of Norwich, was charged
before the magistrates of that city with embezzling :two
sums of £175 and £2OO. It appeared from the evidence
that one customer of the bank had paid in £175, and another
£5OO, the prisoner acting as cashier at the bank counter. Of
the first sum there was no entry at all in the book in which
the prisoner should have noted the amount, and as regards
the second sum of £5OO credit was only given for £3OO.
The prisoner was committed for trial. The £175 was paid
in so long since as the 10th of July, 1858.

officers of the fleet to an entertainment to be given them

dinner is to take place in the. Hopetoun-rooms, on Tues-
day, the 12th inst. We understand that the members of
the army medical staff, at present quartered in Edinburgh,
have been invited to meet their brethren of the sister ser-
vice.—. Edinburgh Courant.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS OF THE PRINCE OF
WALES.—The Prince has a practical way of striving to
profit as much as possible from his opportunities. When
travelling, his Royal Highness daily supplies his diary and
sketch-book with memoranda of his observations, that
serve to impress on his memory all that is worthy of no-
tice ; when. pursuing his studies, the note-book preserves
those points of the lecture that possess the most pressing
claims on his remembrance, and during the interesting
tours he has made abroad and at home he has collected
specimens of fossils, minerals, and rocks, that cannot fail
of being regarded as pleasing memorials of his travels,
while ready to be referred to as instructive aids to investi-
gation.—.Thaesteite Williams' Domestic Memoirs of the
_Royal Family.
NEW ZEALAND CHIEFS.—At the last meeting of
the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Roderick Murchison
introduced to the notice of the Fellows two New Zealand
Chiefs, who were brought to Trieste last year at their own
request. They are now under the guidance of Professor
Ferdinand Von Hockstetter, a distinguished Austrian geo-
logist, who, having passed nine mouths in New Zealand,
has published a work upon the geological etnsetnre of that
country. These samples of the aborigines of our most dis-
tant colony were most kindly treated in Austria, where they
were presented to the Emperor and Empress, and, besides
visiting all the establishments of art, science, and manu-
facture in Vienna, were instructed in the art of printing.
The elder of the two, Wiremu (William) Toetoe: addressed
the meeting very energetically in the Maori language, and,
as the words " Queen Victoria" were often pronounced, to
was afterwards explained that inasmuch as a certain num-
ber of New Zealanders were adhering to a native king, st
Toetoe (who is a postmaster, by the by, in Use Governmen,
service) wished to show his loyalty to his true Sovereigni
They will embark very shortly to return to their native land,
HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF
THE CHEST, BROMPTON.—On. Sunday morning last the
beautiful little chapel attached to this hospital was thrown
open to the general public, on the occasion of the anniver-
sary sermon being preached by the Archbishop of Canter,.
bury. The text selected was Revelations, chap. 22, v. 3,
"'And there shall be no nt re curse," from which the arch-
bishop preached a mo t earnest and appropriate discourse,
describing, at the close of if, the importance of this admir-
able charity, on medical, religious, and social grounds ; 972
as in-patients, and 4,647 as out-patients, had been recipients
of its benefits during the past year. It was much to be
lamented that the difference between the annual subscrip-
tions (the only assured source of income) and the annual
expenditure was over £ t,OOO asyear, which necessitated con-
stont appeals to Christian liberality. After the sermon a
collection was made which amounted to £l6 17s. 6d.
