Viscount and Viscountess Seaham have arrived at
their seat in Montgomeryshire. The Durham Advertiser says:
—" We have to state, upon authority, that Lord Seaham,
though most anxious to resume his Parliamentary duties:after
the Easter recess, has been forbidden to do so by his medical
advisers, who are of opinion that his attendance at late divi-
sions would be dangerous. There gentlemen have given
permission to his Lordship to take his place about the Ist of
July, when they consider his eye will have gained suffi-
cient strength to resist the influences we have mentioned."

TRH BAL MASQUE.—The masquerade, which was
given last evening at the Casino de Venise, for the benefit of
Mr. Packer, the talented musical director, went off with the
greatest eclat, the salon being crowded by a highly fashion-
able company. The decorations for the occasion were very
tastefully arranged, and the appearance of the salle de dance,
with the various gas devices, was dazzling in the extreme.
The band performed some of the most seltct music with great

ral passeagers and a full general cargo. The Montrose,

IMPORTANT TO lIOUSEIIOLDEBS.—In a recent case
heard before F. Bayley, Eq., the judge of the Westminster
County Court, it wai decided that although a fire had oc-
curred in a chimney the day after it had been visited by the
servants of the Ramoneur Company, the plaintiff could not
recover any damages, inasmuch as the company only under-
took to " sweep" the chimney, and not to " scrape" it.
NEW CHURCH AT EDMONTON.—The new church of
St. James, in this parish, was consecrated yesterday by the
Lord Bishop of London, in the presence of a large num-
ber of the gentry and clergy resident in the surrounding
district.

THREATENING LETTERS.—For a considerable time
past a gentleman of some eminence in Manchester has been
annoyed by the receipt of anonymous letters of a threaten-
ing character; and latterly they have assumed a deeper dye,
and rendered it necessary to the gentleman's health and
peace of mind that measures should be taken to prevent the
annoyance by discovering the author. It was therefore ar-
ranged, with the concurrence of the Post-office authorities,
that an officer of the detective police should be placed on the
watch, with instructions, on a signal being given from within,
to apprehend the person who had dropped the last letter into
the letter-box. This has led to the detection of the
dastardly author. A few days ago the Post-office clerk ap-
pointed to watch the letters as they dropped through the
box discovered the well known superscription on a letter,
and instantly gave the appointed signal, when the police
officer outside seized the gentleman who had posted the let-
ter, informing him that he was arrested on the charge of
sending threatening letters to Mr. -. The captured
coward, terror stricken, and thrown off his guard, ex-
claimed, " Then lam detected." Great efforts are being
made, it is said, to induce the injured person to forego the
prosecution and /exposure. The delinquent is an attorney
in Manchester, connected with a firm of long standing in
that town.

INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Saturday morning, be-
tween twelve and one o'clock, A.M. a destructive fire broke
out at Barge Farm, near Maidenhead, in the occupation of
Mr. George Cross. From the circumstance that the premi-
ses appear to have been lighted at more places than one,
there is no doubt of its having been a most determined and
diabolical act of incendiarism. The fire was at first discovered
by the occupier of the farm, when it was found that twolarge farms and tha adjoining ricks were in flames. He im-
mediately summoned his labourers to the spot, and soon
afterwards two engines arrived, but water could be obtained
only at a considerable distanceone engine to play
b y causin g
into the other. The flames ha'd in the mean time quickly
extended along the range of farm buildings,
.owing to the
wind blowing strongly at the time, and a considerable while
elapsed before they were subdued. From the contiguity of
the ricks to the burning premises, it was imp)Nsilde for them
to escape destruction. The property burnt consists of two
large barns—one filled with unthra.hed oats, and the other
containing about 25 quarters of wheat and a considerable
quantity of barley—an extensive wheat-rick, a hay-rick, and
two other ricks, besides agricultural machines and imple-
ments. The buildings are insured in the County Fire-office,
and the other property is insured in the Royal Exchange
Fire-office. The large reward of 230/. is offered for the de-
tection of the offenders.
THE POET WORDSWORTH —We are sorry to
hear that the health of the poet Wordsworth, who, we be-
lieve, is now verging on his 80th year, is not so good as his
friends and admirers could wish.—,Vestmoreland Gazette.

I SEIZURE or Art OmNinus.—Last Wednesday night
as the Emerald omnibus was leaving the Rose and Crown
Inn, Old Town street, with luggage and several passengers,
an exciseman came up and iithirmed the driver that the
vehicle was suspected of containing smuggled goods, and,
therefore, could not be allowed to proceed. An altercation
ensued, and a considerable crowd assembled, who expressed
their disapprobation of the exciseman's proceedings in no
very measured terms. After considerable delay, finding that
the search could not be conducted on the spot, he determined
to proceed with the omnibus, but the driver turned refrac-
tory, and would not be made the means of satisfying the
curiosity of the gauger. Words ran high, and, atter some
delay, the vehicle was driven offby the exciseman and his
assistants, the regular driver remaining obdurate. The whole
proceedings gave great displeasure to the assembled throng,
it
as was generally believed there was no ground for the de-
tention.—Plynioutli Journal.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY TUB SECRETARY
Or A Ilurtimssi SOCIETY. - Yesterday information was re-
ceived at the chief police-station, Great Scotland-yard, that
Thomas Smeeton, a clothier in the town of Ipswich, and
formerly a teetotal lecturer well known throughout Suffolk,
had absconded from the latter town, charged with having
received and embezzled upwards of 6,0001. belonging to two
benefit building societies, of which he was secretary. A
reward of (COL is offered for the apprehension of the accused,
who is described as abaut forty years of age, stout built, fair
complexion, dark hair,
usually wears spectacles, and generally
dresses in black. He was traced to the Ipswich railway sta-
tion, where he paid the fare of a second-class carriage to
Shoreditch on Friday last, but up to the present time no clue
has been obtained of him.

MILITARY PEDESTRIANISM.-0a Saturday last a
running match took place in the Long Walk, Windsor, be-
tween Lieutenant the Hon. Mr. Astley, of the 2d battalion
of tcots Fusilier Guard, and W. Pack, a noted runner in
the band of the Ist Life Guards. The distance was IZ.O
yards, and Mr. Astley backed himself at a sovereign a yard
to win, although the odds were 4 to 3 on the Life Guards-
man. Pack, at starti❑g, got the advantage of about two
yards, but at about half the distance they were abreast of
each other. Lieut. Astley then gradually got a-head of his
opponent, and won by three yards, amid great cheering.
The racy excited considerable interest, and the Long Walk
was thronged with the military in garrison and many of the
resident nobility and gentry.

The second report of the committee of Mexican bond- Bast

Ditto
the fAlowing are interesting extracts:—Namur and Liege....
"It now remains for the undersigned to sum up the Paris st'e Strasboure 13
result of their labours in your behalf, arid to offer you to
!ONES.
such suggestions for your further guidance as in their o
judgment will be most conducive to your interests.

"It will he perceived from the preceding correspon-
Sanago de Cuba. lO can lOO
deuce that, although the settlement of tee remaneta, JOINT STOCK BANES
occupied a considerable space of time aul negotiation, London Joint Stock
their payment has been brought about in a manner London and Westminster... 10
28
satisfactory to all parties.
"By perusing the correspondence which has taken
place between the Committee, Senor Mora, and Colonel
Facio, it will be seen that the utmost cordiality and good
feeling have been preserved, and it will doubtless be the
policy of those to whom your interests may be intrusted,
to promote that good understanding by every safe and
legitimate means in their power.
" It will be seen by the official returns, that from the
ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico, the annual amount of
silver exported in the royal mail steamers to England
alone, amounted, in 1849, to 9,616,300 dollars. There
is every reason to believe that the export from the ports
of the Pacific may be estimated at 6,000,000 more ; as-
suming, therefore, that the export to other parts of the
world amounts to 4,000,000, we have an annual sum of
20,000,000 dollars, the export duty on which, at 34 per
cent., would if collected yield 700,000 dollars, or
140,000/. sterling per annum ; an amount sufficient to
pay 1 per cent. on the bonds, from this source alone.
" It is perfectly clear, therefore, that in giving affect
to the measures which have been suggested by the com-
mittee, and approved by Senor Mora, Mexico and the
bondholders are equally interested.
"In regard to the Customs duties, it is clear that, if
Mexico were to reduce her tariff, a ' heavy blow and
great discouragement,' would be given to the smuggling
which now takes place. This measure is rendered the
more necessary since the cession of the Mexican terri-
tory gives greater facilities to smuggling than formerly
exists]. It is ridiculous to suppose that the duties of
the Atlantic Ports of Mexico, would not amount to more
than 6,000,000 dolls. per annum, or that they would be
limited to even double that amount, if a proper system
of customs duties were adopted.
"To alluie to another portion of the duties hypo-
thecated to the bondholders, viz. :—the tobacco, it will
be seen that this subject has been urged on the attention
of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh ; and we have every
confidence that what has been written to Mexico, will
have its due weight.
As regards the Convention concluded between the
Government of Mexico and Mr. Roberts-on, nothing as
yet has been decided by the Mexican Congress ; but it
is understood by the last advices that the Congress have
passed a resolution that the matter should be settled,
both as regards the internal and external debt, within a
period limited to 40 days.
" It is hardly to be supposed, that the Mexican Con-
gress will be so blind to the interests of Mexico, as not
to conclude so favourable an arrangement as regards
her foreign debt ; and it is still less to be supposed, that
Mexico will sell territory mortgaged to the bondholders,
without giving them a portion of the purchase-money.
We cannot believe that such will be the case until we
have positive evidence of the feet, and therefore it is
needless to discuss what measures it may be necessary
hereafter to adopt in the event of a contingency which
has not yet arisen.
"As regards the funds at present in the Bank,
amounting to the sum of 5 10,000 dolls., we would re-
commend that they be dealt with in the spirit of the 4th
article of the Government minu a of the 8!,11 July, which
directs that—" If by any accidental event at the end of
six months the sums existing are not sufficient to day a
dividend, which will correspond to that of the preceding
six mouths, the said amount can be paid in proportion,
at the request of the committee of the bondholders." In
the meantime, with the present large accumulations in
the Bank, and the ordinary monthly remittances, which
must in the interim arrive, there can be no doubt that on
the Ist July, the necessary funds will be at the disposal
of the committee for the payment of the first dividend,
equal to that stipulated under the new Convention.
" We also recommend that the committee shall in
future consist of not less than ten members, three of
whom shall be a quorum, for it is impossible that a small
committee of men engaged in business of their own, ran
by possibility devote that time and attention to your
affairs, which from our own experience we can assure
you is absolutely necessary in order to bring them to a
satisfactory issue.
" We cannot conclude this report without expressing
our surprise that the value of your property continues so
depressed. Apart from the Indemnity-money, there can
be no question whatever that the present sources ef reve-
nue hypothecated to the bondholders are sufficient to
produce at present more than 3 per cent. per annum,
and of necessity, these must go on increas-
ing, for it is impossible either that Mexico can stand
still, or that her abundant resources can remain un-
developed.
e. do not coneral, however, from you, that in order
to make them more productive than they are to your-
selves, you must have efficient agents in M. xico, and
that you must pay them sufficiently to stimulate their
zeal, fidelity, and activity in your behalf. The present
state if your agencies in Mexico is the first subject
which must occupy the attention of any committee
which may be formed.
" We have purposely avoided offering any opinion in
our present position on Mr. Robertson's report, which
we recommend to your careful consideration.
" And now, gentlemen, it only remains for us, after
having to the best of our abilities given our time and
attention to your affairs, to resign, unreservedly, the
trust you confided to us, once more into your bands. We
have endeavoured, and we hope we have succeded, in
placing your interests on as satisfactory a basis as cir-
cumstances and the short period which has elapsed since
they have been confided to our care, will permit. Our
labours, both in this country and in Mexico, have yet to
bear their harvest, which we trust for your sakes, veil'
prove an abundant one.

The prosecutor resided at 72, Church-lane, White-
chapel, and it appeared that in February last he owed
his landlord 34/. for rent, and for that sum a distress
was put in upon the goods and chattels in the house.
The prosecutor, in order to settle the matter, paid 20/.
in cash, and gave a bill for 14g. 19s. 6d., which was
drawn by the prosecutor and accepted by the prisoner,
and the landlord then withdrew the distress. The pri-
soner, however, required some security for the payment
of the bill, and the prosecutor put him in possession of
the goods, which he valued at 1501. or 200/., on the
understanding that he was to give them up when the
bill was satisfied; but shortly afterwards, and before the
bill became due, be carried away the goods and disposed
I of them at a sale, in spiteof the prosecutor's remonstrances.
The bill was afterwards paid by the prosecutor, and as
the prisoner had not advanced any money on account of
ir, it was held he had committed a breach of good faith
which amounted to a very serious case of fraud.
At the conclusion of the evidence for the prosecution,
The RECORDER said he was of opinion that the in-
dictment for mi,demeanour bad not been sustainei, and
he should therefore direct a verdict of acquittal. He,
however, thought a case of felony had been made out,
and would direct a bill to be preferred against the pri-
soner in another shape.
The jury then found a verdict of Not Guilty, and the
prisoner was ordered to be kept in custody, or to give
bail for his re-appearance.
