THE LAMBING SEASON IN THE HIGHLANDS.—
In the extensive district of Glenlyon the lambing season,
which is now about over, has produced an abundant stock of
strong and vigorous lambs, greatly superior to the sickly
remnant of last year. The season throughout has been
very favorable ; hence the very slight mortality, compara-
tively speaking, amongst either sheep or lambs crow uatu-
ral causes,—.Feth Courier.

SUICIDE.—George Ball Stokes, clerk to Messrs.

mitted to the coroner.

Proposals have been issued by Messrs. J. Hart
and Co. for sulecriptions to the River Salado Steam
Navigation Company, constituted with a capital of
£240,000. The_object is to introduce an effective steam-
boat system on the River Salado, which is navigable
for 1,100 miles through the most important interior
,provinces of La Plata, and joins the Parana about
250 or 300 miles above Buenos Ayres. The vessels
would connect with those which run each week from the
mouth of the Salado to Buenos Ayres, and thus, by the aid
of the Royal Mail steamers and those of the French Com-
pany, the richest portions of the country, even to the con-
fines of Bolivia, would be placed in direct communication
alternately each fortnight with Southampton and Bordeaux.
It is stated that at present the consumption of European,
articles in districts connected with the Salado is £1,200,000
per annum, while the average export of produce, much of
especially
which now takes its way via the Pacific, exceeds £1,600,000,

per cent. has been granted by the Government of the Re-
public on £lOO,OOO of the capital, and is to be obtained on
the remainder before the full amount is called up. A dona-
tion has likewise been made of 2,700 square miles of land in
the provinces of Santa Fe, Santiago, and Salta ; and Senor
Molina, the Foreign Minister at Parana, and Senor de la
Riesta, the Finance Minister of Buenos Ayres, are members
of the Committee of Superintendence. A reduction of 50
per cent. is also to be allowed from all duties on the impor-
tation of merchandise introduced by company's boats. The
chief subscriptions are apparently expected at Paris, in
Spain, and at Buenos Ayres. M. Estevan Rams, an influ-
ential resident at Santa Fe, is the concessionnairc and
