FATAL BULL FIGHT IN SPAIN.—A bull fight took
place at the Arenes at Beancaire, on the 24th, which
was attended with fatal consequences to one of the men
engaged in it. Two of the men whose duty it was to
excite the bull by pricking it with a goad had just
entered the arena when the bull made a rush at them.
Instead of stopping as the animals usually do on being
touched on the nose with the sharp point of the weapon,
it dashed forward on one of the men and stuck its
horns into his body, by which he was so injured that he
died in a few hours after.

WINDING UP OF INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CHANCERY.
—The following is a list of insurance companies now
being wound up in Chancery :—Cosmopolitan, Louden
and Mercantile, Oak Protestant, Athenzeum, Caxtor,
Universal Provident, Security Mutual, Amazon, Nel•
son Sea Parental Endowment--in all twelve in number.
GREAT FIRE AT SALONICA.—A letter from Salonica
of the 17th, in the Moniteur, gives some details of ail
fire which was briefly mentioned by telegraph. It broke
out in the evening of the 11th, and was not got und( r
until 11 o'clock on the following morning. The explot-ion
of 233 barrels of gunpowder, which were in the cellars
of a dealer in the town, aggravated the mischief. Eleven
houses and two khans have been destroyed in the
Frank quarter, but the losses outside the walls have
been more considerable. The &etas destroyed almost
all the shops and warehouses forming the quarter of the
marine, the same which suffered from the fire in 1854.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tue, -
day.—The demand for yarn still hangs a little in the
rear of the supply, although suffelent to prevent ary
fear of accumulation of stock. The contracts still u..
executed in the hands of the producers enable them to
maintain the utmost firmness, any giving way in price
to a very small extent being perceptible only in.quart'rs
where fresh orders are needed. Cotton is firm at the
high rates so long current, leaving no margin-admitting
of reduction between the prices of the material and of
the manufactured article.

THE SOUND DUES —According to a letter in the
Ilanover Cazette, the negotiations relative to the Sound
dues have taken a turn which lead to the hope that the
question will be settled in a manner conformable to the
interests of the Baltic trade. With the exception of
England, all the other Powers, the letter states, have
declared themselves in favour of the redemption of the
tax.

CRIS:IRAN BANC/CET AT NORWICH. - Major-General
Windham is expected shortly in Norwich, and on leis ar-
rival in that city he will be received with extraordinary
demonstrations of respect and esteem. The gallant
general, who is a native of Norfolk, is to be addressed
by the mayor and town-council of Norwich, and after-
wards entertained at a banquet in the well•known St.
Andrew's-hall. It is expected that the Earl of Albe-
marle will preside on the occasion, and that at least 600
guests will assemble to do honour to the hero of the
feast.

POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES.—For some time past letters
containing money and other articles of value have been
frequently lost at the Lewes post-office, and last week
the authorities took means to endeavour to discover the
guilty party, the result of which was that on Monday
Joseph Palmer, post-office clerk, was charged before the
magistrates with stealing a letter containing half a sove-
reign and a florin. He was committed for trial at the
assizes. He has been a clerk in the post-office three
years and a half, and always borne a good character.
MoNTENEcato.—When the Montenegrins had driven
the Kucians from their entrenchments on the 11th, they
entered the villages, and, after putting the inhabitants
to death, without respect to age or sex, plundered and
burnt down the houses. The large district known as
Kuci is now a deserted land ; for all the persons who were
not killed have gone to the Turkish territory. TheXon-
tenegrins took 2,000 muskets, but the greater part of
the cattle had been driven across the Turkish frontier
before they were able.to force the position occupied by
the Kucians at Dioclea.
ISLINGTON.—The representative vestry of the parish
of St. Mary, Islington, at their last meeting made the.
following rates for the current half-year :—For the relief
of the poor, 10d. in the pound ; churchwardens, rate,
id: ; lighting, 31d. ; sewers, ld., and a general rate of
41d. in the pound.
