President Johnson has issued a proclamation
announcing that the 14th Constitutional Amend-
ment has been ratified by Georgia. Mr. Seward
has also issued a proclamation declaring that the
amendment is fully ratified by the requisite num-
ber of States, and is now part of the fundamental
law of the Republic. _

General Grant, with the approval of President
Johnson, has issued an order abolishing the second
and third military districts with military supremacy,
and forming them into a department of the South

AA AWKWARD MISTAKE.—Two well-dressed
young women, named Amy Bealmont and Jessi::
Seymour, were cllarged wit's stealing the watch of
Ramsey Hunter, servant, at No. 53, Piccadilly.
Alfred Brooks, 111 C, said the prosecutor gave
the young women into custody for stealing his
watch, but had since found that he had made a mis-
take and left his watch at home.

• Mr. Knox said the prosecutor had, indeed, made
a mistake, and unless he made the young women
ample reparation they had their romeiy.
The prosecutor said that he was very sorry, and
certainly would make some reparation.
The young women were of course discharged.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1868.

The success which has attended the rescue of
the Europeans so long detained by King THEO-
DORE has induced those interested in the fate of
the supposed survivors of the unfortunate vessel
at St. Abbs to bring their case again before the

public. The particulars of the story have been
recapitulated, and may be briefly summed up.
Thirteen years ago the St. Abbs, having on board
many of the cadets of the Indian service, struck
on a reef off the East C)ast of Africa, and drifted
on shore. The survivors, it was believed, fell into
the hands of the natives of Somaliland, who took
them up into the interior, where there is reason for
believing some of them yet linger in hopeless capti-
vity. It is not altogether matter of conjecture,
since the wandering Arabs who carry on traffic in

the interior report having seen strangers, and some
hides which came down from Somaliland to the
coast bore some rudely scratched letters on them.
Those well acquainted with the country and the
tribes who inhabit it think the fact of their exist-
ence very probable. We know by King THE'O-
- example that the detention of Europeans is
by no means without precedent. Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S
experience confirms the impression, since in prose-
cuting his researches in the interior he escaped with
difficulty from the pressing hospitality of some of
the chiefs. According to Captain BELL'S protest—
" The St. Abbs struck on a reef connecting Juan de
Nuova and Gull Island at 11.33 p.m. on the 14th of
June, 1855, and immediately came broadside on to
the sea, which was running high. The mainmast
went by the board. Two fathoms were found along-
side, the vessel drawing 18 feet. She soon bilged.
From the darkness of the night and high sea nothing
could be done, and all hands were ordered into the
cuddy for protection. Some obeyed, others re-
mained forward. At daylight the longboat was
launched without much difficulty, and supplied with
water, provisions, charts, instruments, Sze., and
the passengers and crew ordered into her, but,
with the exception of the mate and two seamen,
they refused to venture. In about ten minutes the
boat was dashed to pieces alongside ; the three men
in her were saved with great difficulty. Wind
and sea continuing high, and the tide se'Aing
fro.n the reef to the ship, rendered it impossible
to reach the shore. Oa the 16th the third boat
was lowered, and the mate ordered to go and en-
de tvour to establish communication wi h the shore.
The mate refused, whereupon the captain went
himself, feeling he ought not to order others to do
what he would not do himself. AbJut thirty yards
from the vessel the boat was capsizA, Capt. BELL
and the three seamen reaching shallow water in an
exhausted state. Being unable to render any
assistance to those' on board they waded across the
reef to Gullet Island, a mile and a half distant, in
search of help, though what help they expected
to get there is a somewhat perplexing ques-
tion. They were afterwards joined by two more,

PARIS, Aug. 6.

The Minister of Finance has determined that
collective subscription lists for the new loan,
amounting in the aggregate to 100 f. Rentes and
above, will be accepted. The scrip of the amount
allotted to these subscribers can on the demand of
the parties be divided in certificates even below
100 f. Rentes. But in order to prevent any abuse
this collective scrip, whatever may be the amount,
cannot be used for speculative purposes on the
Bourse.

PROSPEC7S FOR THE TWELFTH.

(From the Banff :Aire Journal.)

We regret to say that the prospects of the grouse
season this year are, in general, by no means
favourable. Much disease prevailed among the birds
last season, greatly thinning their numbers, and di-
minishing the breeding stock for this year. Owing
to the fine early season hatching was early this year,
and for a time prospects were good. The drought,
however, has been unfavourable, and correspondents
write us that, where the young grouse have hap-
pened to be hatched near perennial springs of water,
they are numerous in the coveys ; but where the
water has failed, the young birds have disappeared,
and the old ones are to be seen quite alone. This
observation applies to a good number of moors
in Aberdeenshire and Banffshire. In Morayshire
the disease raged very much this season, and
from nearly all parts of that county reports of the
prospects of the sportsman are discouraging, so far
as regards grouse. In Nairnshire matters are fully
worse than in Elginshire. From various parts
of Inverness-shire we have reports indicating
that fair bags may be inade, and in Ross-shire,
also, the prospects are not indifferent. Iu
a number of cases, we arc aware that sportsmen
who shoot over their own moors are to shoot only
sparingly this year ; and in other cases the moors
have not been let, with the view of allowing the
stock of birds to increase. Though grouse will be
in general few, we are glad to report that in most
districts there is a splendid prospect of partridge
shooting. The coveys are numerous and large, and
the birds strong. Of black game also there is a
more than usually good promise. The reports from
the deer forests have been favourable, though the
excessive drought of the last few weeks has told
upon the condition of the stags.

IMPREGNABLE SAFES AND LOCKS
- - _

Messrs. HOBBS, HART, and CO. call the special atten-
tion of BANKERS, GOLDSMITHS, JEWELLERS, and
others in possession of valuable property, to their NEWLY-
PATENTED SAFE, which is so constructed as tn ba im-
pregnable against all the artifices of the BURGLAR iu the
use of the drill, the wedge, the screw, or the crowbar, by
having itc sides and angles held together by a system of
Tubular Dovetailing, instead of the old practice of riveting;
the Tubes by which they are held together being filled by
molten iron, so as to form a homogeneous mass, with the
wedges of the Safe overlapping each other within the
Tubes. The Doors are also protected by a newly-invented
Lock, which is invulnerable against the most skilled class
of burglais as well as the most scientific mechanicians.

WATERLOO AND WHITEHALL.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the office, Westminster-chambers,
Victoria-street—Mr. J. Parson in the chair.
The report expressed the regret of the directors
that public confidence in railway enterprise bad
not yet been sufficiently restored to enable them to
raise the additional capital requisite for carrying
the undertaking into effect. They had, therefore,
carefully abstained from the expenditure of any
further capital, except such as was unavoidable for
the payment of land and other matters, amounting
in all to 12,750. They had procured from Parlia-
ment an extension of time for the completion of the
undertaking. The directors had recently received
a communication from one of their principal credi-
tors, pressing them at once to take steps for wind-
ing up its affairs, unless they could satisfy him of
their ability to carry the undertaking into effect.
Ou the other hand, they had reason to believe that
another of their largest creditors would be prepared
to aid in the Later object ; and they were in nego-
tiation with both to arrive at some satisfactory ar-
rangement.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that, notwithstanding the financial diffi-
culties at present surrounding the undertaking, he
had still faith in its ultimate success, if the share-
holders would have a little more patience; so that
with an improved condition of the money-market
and a return of public confidence they might be
able to obtain the additional capital required
for the completion of the works. Negotiations
were now pending with the principal cre-
ditor of the company, who was pressing the
directors to wind-up the undertaking, and he be-
lieved that there would be no difficulty in obtain-
ing from that gentleman an extension of time to
enable the directors to see if it was not possible for
the company to obtain the capital they required.

Mr. BURKE seconled the motion, which was
agreed to.
Mr. lIAnvEY moved, and Mr. MASTEIIMAN se-
conded, a resolution declaring it inexpedient to
wind-up the company without another effort to
sustain it, which was carried, and the proceedings
closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

Mr. Kuox said the prosecutor had, indeed, made
a mistake, and unless he made the young women
ample reparation they had their remedy.
The prosecutor said that he was very sorry, and
certainly would make some reparation.

PROSPECTS FOR THE TWELFTH.

(From the Banfshire Journal.)
We regret to say that the prospects of the grouse
season this year are, in general, by no means
favourable. Much disease prevailed among the birds
last season, greatly thinning their numbers, and di-
minishing the breeding stock for this year. Owing
to the fine early season hatching was early this year,
and for a time prospects were good. The drought,
however, has been unfavourable, and correiapondents
write us that, where the young grouse have hap-
pened to be hatched near perennial springs of water,
they are numerous in the coveys ; but where the
water has failed, the young birds have disappeared,
and the old ones are to be seen quite alone. This
observation applies to a good number of moors
in Aberdeenshire and Banffshire. In Morayshire
the disease raged very much this season, and
from nearly all parts of that county reports of the
prospects of the sportsman are discouraging, so far
as regards grouse. In Nairnshire matters are fully
worse than in Elginshire. From various parts
of Inverness-shire we have reports indicating
that fair bags may be Inade, and in Ross-shire,
also, the prospect; are not indifferent. In
a number of cases, we are aware that sportsmen
who shoot over their own moors are to shoot only
sparingly this year ; and in other cases the moors
have not been let, with the view of allowing the
stock of birds to increase. Though grouse will be
in general few, we arc glad to report that in most
districts there is a splendid prospect of partridge
shooting. The coveys are numerous and large, and
the birds strong. Of black game also there is a
more than usually good promise. The reports from
the deer forests have been favourable, though the
excessive drought of the last few weeks has told
upon the condition of the stags.

IfAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
.1.4 EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for foar of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charmg-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,

matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

THAMES.

INGENIOUS SMUGGLING.--George Pratt, aged 21
years, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged
with smuggling on board the General Steam Navi-
gation Company's ship Waterloo.
The prisoner was a passenger on board the
Waterloo from Rotterdam, and on her arrival here
on her last trip an out-door officer of Customs,
named William Roberts, asked him if he had any
goods liable to duty, to which he replied in the ne-
gative. The attention of the officer was then called
to a box containing four pairs of doves belonging
to the defendant, and when removing what appeared
to be the real bottom of the box, he found another
board below it. Between the two boards there was
three and a half pounds of foreign manufactured
tobacco very ingeniously concealed. The prisoner
said the tobacco was his, and that it was given to
him.

Mr. Benson asked if the prisoner had any con-
nexion with the vessel or the respectable company
to which she belonged, and the reply was that the
prisoner was only a passenger on board the Water-
loo, and was formerly the cook of a sailing vessel
called the Wellington.

Mr. Benson said the prisoner had displayed re-
tnarkable ingenuity in secreting the tobacco in a box
of birds, and convicted him in the full penalty of
£3 35., which he paid.
A TICKET-OF-LEAVE WOMAN.—Elizabeth Drum-
mond, a most audacious thief, who has been re-
peatedly in custody, was brought before Mr. Ben-
son charged with stealing two sovereigns from the
person of John M‘Gowan, a seaman, belonging to
the ship Hudson.
The prisoner has been long dwelling in Angel-
gardens, Shadwell, where none but fallen angels and
their paramours reside. She was convicted on the
18th of October, 1854, and sentenced to five years
penal servitude for a highway robbery with violence,
and at that time a former conviction and twelve
months' imprisonment was proved against her.
She received a ticket-of-leave and license six
months ago, and has been dwelling in her old
haunts since. She met the prosecutor in a public-
house called the White Fox yesterday evening.
She took two sovereigns and some greenbacks from
the sailor's pockets, and he saw the Old in her
hand. It is believed she handed her booty to a
confederate. The prisoner denied the robbery and
said she had been stopping with another sailor who
gave her £lO on Alunday.
Mr. Bensou remanded the primer till Wednes-
d iv next.

WATERLOO AND WHITEHALL.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the office, Westminster-chambers,
Victoria-street--Mr. J. Parson in the chair.

The report expressed the regret of the directors
that public confidence in railway enterprise had
not yet been sufficiently restored to enable them to
raise the additional capital requisite for carrying
the undertaking into effect. They had, therefore,
carefully abstained from the expenditure of any
further capital, except such as was unavoidtble for
the payment of land and other matters, amounting
in all to £2,750. They had procured from Parlia-
ment an extension of time for the completion of the
undertaking. The directors had recently received
a communication from one of their principal credi-
tors, pressing them at once to take steps for wind-
ing up its affairs, unless they could satisfy him of
their ability to carry the undertaking into effect.
On the other hand, they had reason to believe that
another of their largest creditors would be prepared
to aid iu the latter object; and they were in nego-
-1 tiation with both to arrive at some satisfactory ar-
rangement.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that, notwithstanding the financial diffi-
culties at present surrounding the undertaking, he
had still faith in its ultimate success, if the share-
holders would have a little more patience; so that
with an improved condition of the money-market
and a return of public confidence they might be
able to obtain the additional capital required
for the completion of the works. Negotiations
were now pending with the principal cre-
ditor of the company, who was pressing the
directors to wind-up the undertaking, and he be-
lieved that there would be no difficulty in obtain-
ing from that gentleman an extension of time to
enable the directors to see if it was not possible for
the company to obtain the capital they required.
Mr. BURKE seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.
Mr. HARVEY moied, and Mr. MASTERMAN Se-
conded, a resolution declaring it inexpedient to
wind-up the company without another effort to
sustain it, which was carried, and the proceedings
closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

TEM E VALLEY.

An extraordinary general meeting of Phis com-
pany was held at Worcester ; Mr. S. 11. Dodson in
the chair.

A report stated the intention of the directors to
proceed with the line, making certain deviations at
Worcester and Newnham, by which the share ca-
pital would be reduced from £350,000 to £150,000.
The CHAIRMAN stated the circumstances under
which the proposed capital was reduced. They
were advised by a responsible contractor that they
could get their railway made complete as to sta-
tions, rails, and everything, land included, for
£120,000. At present it was intended only to lay
down a single line. lie moved the adoption of the

report.
The report was unanimously adopted.-
Mr. J. MoortE moved—" That the directors be
empowered to take all necessary steps that they
may deem advisable to give effect to the report and
for securing the commencement of the works as
soon as possible." Ile especially called upon the
farmers to support the undertaking, which would
give them great advantages in moving their produce
and bringing them into direct railway communica-
tion with the rest of the world.
Mr. W. MooRE also pointed out that the line
would form an important link in the railway com-
munication of the district, and in the direct route
from London to Wales.

The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and
a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.
