SALE OF LORD EXETER'S YEARLINGS.

Tho usual sale of yearlings, bred by Lord Exeter at
Wothorpe Paddocks, near Stamford, took place on Friday,
when Mr. E. Tattersall officiated. There wero 11 offered
for sale, and a moderate lot they were, or no doubt all of
them would have been sold. As it was, only eight of them
found purchasers. A filly by Midas, out of Boa, was the
first brought out, but, being a mere thick-set pony, Col.
Loyd Lyndsay bought her for 25 guineas. A couple of
fillies by Nutshell (son of Nutwith), out of Alexandria, by
Ambrose, and Clplia, by The Provost, were next offered, but,
being loose-made and of little promise as racehorses, they
were both sent back, although the latter was afterwards
sold by private contract to Mr. Partner for 70 gs. A filly
by Knight of St. Patrick, out of Miss Stamford, well-grown
all over, with a level, racing-like top, William Day took
at 100 guineas. A filly by Knight of the Thistle, from
Celia, well framed for speed, Mr. Payne took cheap at 100
guineas. A colt by Thormanby, out of Amelia, with plenty
of bone, but narrow over the hips, Lord Bateman gave his
value for 200 guineas. A big, loose-made filly by Knight
of St. Patrick, out of Nicotine, with a belly like a brood
mare, went to Mr. Sutton for 210 guineas; and he
bought a colt by the same horse, out of Sultana, low,
lengthy, strong, and racing-like, for 250 guineas.
Lastly, came the best of the lot, in the brother to
Knight of the Crescent, a big, well-grown, and ex-
tremely powerful colt, but more of the weight-carrying
than one likely to make a racehorse of high class. Ho was
well sold to Mr. Stirling Crawford for 570 gs. Annexed
are the prices, ecc.:—

During the week the specie movement has been
of an extensive character, the imports, owing to
large arrivals of gold from Australia and silver
from the Continent have amounted to about
£1,498,742, while the exports have been to the
extent of £26,409, chiefly iu remittances to the
Continent through private sources.
CHRISTOPHER NORTH SHAMMING NIGHTMARE.—
It is impossible to give a more graphic illustration of
this, says a writer in the London Review, in reference to the
rapidity of our dreams, than by recounting one of the ex-
perimentswhich the "Shepherd" performs upon the sleep-
ing Christopher North in ono of the early " Noctes
Ambrosianva." " There noo," says Mr. Hogg, I hae drapped
some cauld water on his bald pow, and it's tricklia' doun
his haffets to his lugs. Whist ! wait a wee ! There noo,
ye see his mouth openin' and his chest heavin',
as if the waters o' the deep sea were gullaring
in his throat—he's noo droonin." Mr. Ambrose remon-
strates against this experiment, but the Shepherd pro-
ceeds with it. "Hand back, sir; look how he's trying to
streik out his richt leg as if it had gotten the cramp. He's
trying to cry for help. Noo he's risin' to the surface for
the third and last time ; noo he gives over strugglin' and
sinks doun to the brown-ribbed sand amang the crawling
partens." And the same experiment is tried by tighten-
ing Christopher's necktie, whereupon he goes through all
the circumstances of being hanged ; and only a fight be-
tween the performers prevents a rehearsal of the guillotine
by the aid of the carving knife. Indeed, the whole pro-
cess is a triumphant success, only Mr. North unfortunately
lets out, a little later, that he has been awake all the time.
APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following are the
names of gentlemen who have passed their examination in
the science and practice of medicine, and received certifi-
cates to practise, on Thursday, July 19 :—John Joseph
Bingham, Stavely, Derbyshire ; Peter Harding, Shrews-
bury ; George William Mousley, Athertone ; and Henry
Beamont Pattinson, Havitree, near Exeter. The follow-
ing gentlemen also on the same day passed their first exa-
mination :—Timothy Wood Lee, Charles D. Batt, and
Edward Bowles Crowfoot,' St. Bartholomew's Hospital;
John Webb and Edward Sunderland, Guy's Hospital.
IRISH RAILWAY COMPANIES.—Copies of two
Treasury minutes, dated May 24 and June 15 respectively,
have just been published. They show that deputations of
noblemen and gentlemen interested iu Irish railways have
waited on Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone and on the
Secretary of the Treasury, asking that her Majesty's Go-
vernment would assist them in the difficulties caused by
the monetary crisis. The Public Works Loan Commis-
sioners were instructed to advance £500,000, at a rate of
interest not less than 4 per cent., and on security which
should be sufficiently satisfactory to them.
THE AUTOGRAPH NOTE BOOK OF ADDISON, con-
taining portions of essays contributed to the Spectator,
which was so much canvassed in the public journals two
years ago, was disposed of at the conclusion of a recent
sale of MSS., and realised twenty-six guineas. Only a
short time since this identical volume was sold by a Lon-
don dealer in old books for seven shillings !
THE OATHS COMMISSION.—The Right Hon.
Russell Gurney, Q.C., Recorder of the city of London, and
the Right Hon. Horatio Waddington, Under-Secretary of
State for the Home Department, have been placed on the
Oaths Commission of Inquiry, in roam of the Right Hon.
Lord Stanley and the Right Hon. Spencer Horatio Walpole,
who have resigned, being prevented by other duties from
attending the meetings of the Commissioners.
A DELICATE CREATURE.—The dandy brother,
says a London Reviewer, in writing about the genus of
brothers generally, wears an eye-glass, and latterly a tooth_
pick ; swells have been known to catch cold when going into
a draught without a tooth-pick.
TRIALS OF BREECH-LOADERS. Lord Ranelagh
will throw open Beaufort House and grounds, Walham-
green, on Friday next, the 27th inst., at 2 o'clock, for an
exhibition of breech-loading fire-arms. Inventors and the
public are invited to attend.
WHAT'S IN A NAME.--Mr. Bugg, the innkeeper
of Yorkshire, was really precipitate when he exchanged his
noble surname for that of Howard, for Mr. Isaac Taylor tells
us, in his "Words and Places," that Howard is merely the
shortened form of "Hog-warden !" Guardian.
SUPPLY OF NEEDLE GUNS TO ITALY BY PRUSSIA.
—The Augsburg Gazette states that Prussia has sent 20,000
needle guns to Italy, with the secret of the cartridges ;
30,000 more are to follow.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The harvest
has commenced in the neighbourhood of Stamford, Mr.
Close, of Barnack, having cut a field of oats which were
quite ready for the scythe. The hay crop in the neigh-
bourhood of Caistor, Lincolnshire, has been generally se-
cured in good condition. The crops are generally good.
A new watering-place, to be called Ocean City, is
being started on the beach some miles north of Atlantic
City.

We take the following from the Pittsburg Mining
Journal:—" Nashville, Tennessee. June 23,1866.—We did
not in our last say all we intended to about the manufac-
tures in Kentucky, but the geography and geology is so
identical with that of its neighbour Tennessee, its mineral
products, soil, water courses, and channels of trade so
similar, that we thought it appropriate to embody in this
article a discussion of manufactures in both States. Ten-
nessee has an area of 85,600 square miles. Her popula-
tion in 1860 was 1,109,817, an increase of ton per. cent. in
ten years. The density of her population is 24.12 to the
square mile, and her ratio to the total population of the
country 3.65 per cent. The population subsists ohiefly on
agriculture, though manufactures are carried on to some
extent. It may not be generally known that in 1840
Tennessee was the third state in the Union in the amount
and value of her manufactures, New York and Pennsyl-
vania alone surpassing her. The mineral area of Ten-

nessee is not definitely nor oven approximately known.
During the last thirty years the subject has received
no attention. It was left for the cruel war' and the
Yankee faculty for seeing things to demonstrate the
actual resources of Tennessee, and the more inquiry the
greater number of acres that are daily being added to the
mineral area of the State. This much is known ; the
valleys of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, and the
_ _ _

valley of East Tennessee, contain accessible and inexhaust-
ible mines. The extent of this area must be fully 10,000
square miles. From the known character of formations
in the other parts of the State, it seems safe to conclude
that Tennessee has minerals extensive and valuable

enough to make her tho first State in tho South, in her
facilities for mining and manufactures. The minerals

found in Tennessee are iron, coal, copper, petroleum,
gypsum,‘alum, nitre, lead, silver, zinc, copper, salt, salt-

. .
petre, marble, and hydraulic limestone. Their location

may be determined by the geological divisions running

!rom north to south.

There is a legend that one day a woman went to
Brigham Young for counsel, touching some illegal oppres-

sion by an officer of the Church. Brigham, like c:true

politician, assumed to know her ; but when it became ne.

cessary to record her case, hesitated, and said. "Let me
see sister, I forgot your name." "My name! " was the in-

dignant reply ; " Why, lam your wife ! " " When did I

marry you ? "

The woman informed the " President,"

who referred to an account-book in his desk, and then said
—" Well, I believe you are right. 1 knew your face was

t.tiniliar."

of unconscious irony—to the national spirit : ' When you

Fenianism. The battle of Limestone Ridge has exhibited
your powers. But for the check from the Government we
would have possession of Canada to-night, and I would
have been granting letters of marque to vessels to cripple
England in her strongest point—her commerce. Our time
will soon come. The day of Irish freedom is not far dis-
tant. Ireland will soon take her place among the nations
of the earth ; and the faires.t island on .the. globe, under
the control of Irishmen, will be made to blossom as the
rose and become a garden spot.' "
