SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
Three causes were set down in the paper, but the records were
withdrawn.

Her Majesty will give a grand banquet and even-
ng party this evening at Buckingham Palace. Between fifty and
sixty royal and distinguished guests have had the honour of re.
ceiving invitations.
The Presse states, that on Tuesday M. Arago an-
nounced to the Academy of Sciences that M. Fage had discovered
a new comet on the 2d of this month in the constellation of
Perseus.
The Grove-terrace at Kentish-town, which in-
cludes 26 superior abodes, is to be the subject of competition in
separate lots, next Tuesday, and, it is said, without any protect.
ing price. As an investment it is very superior to any modern
buildings, the tenants are first-rate, and the houses were erected
50 or 60 years ago, before builders possessed the facalty of run-
ning up houses with a moderate supply of bricks and a plentiful
scarcity of timber. There are also some valuable improved Ground
Rents. The rental to be sold altogether exceeds 1,2001. a year.—
Mr. George Robins has fixed this peremptory sale, at the Mart,
for next Tuesday.
HERRING FISHING.—On Friday evening a few
of the Campbelton fleet of vessels, at present rendezvoused there,
ventured out to try the herring fishing, and, on the morning of
Saturday, each boat was rewarded by a take of from 500 to 700
as capital herring as ever was taken out of the sea, both as to size
and quality. A considering quantity was sold for curing, and
transmitted to Glasgow in barrels, and sold here, as new salt
herrings, at 6d. per lb. They sold on the fishing ground at 95.
and 10s. per long hundred. A number ay.,
were opened for retail at the fish-market,
price 2d. each, and the rest of the boxes were transmitted to Liver.
pool per steamer.—Glasgow Chronicle.
ASCOT.—The Great Western Railway took down
to Slough yesterday upwards of 8,000 passengers.
STATE OF TRADE.—KILMARNOCK.—The state of
trade and manufactures continues nearly in the condition as was
represented in our last report. Carpet-weavers, wool-spinners,
bonnet-makers, tanners, and colliers, are all in good employment.
Masons are in good demand, at good :wages. The exception is still
the print-fields, which are decidedly flat, owing to the changing of
the style, and they will be so for some weekF to come. A goad
many of the hand.loom weavers are also unemployed.—Kilmar-
nock Journal.,
DISCOVERY OF BURGLARS' DISGUISES,—On Mon-
day, the water in the Leicester and Loughborough Canal, near
Cossington Mill, having been drawn off, some men, who were
searching in the mud for pieces of coal dropped from the boats,
found six linen head-pieces, made to come below the chin, with
holes for the eyes, five smocks, and an old Chesterfield wrapper,
some felt slippers, and coverings for the legs, and a long and mas-
sive crow-bar, bent at one end, so as to form a powerful wrench-
ing lever. These articles were in a carpet bag, and are believed to
have been used at the extensive burglary, a few weeks since, at
Cossington Reetory, the perpetrators of which are still undiscovered.
MAJOR HAMILTON.—The Freeman's Journal says
—" Major Hamilton is going on well. The unfortunate gentle.
man, we understand, accounts for the accident by stating that he
felt oppressed by a suffusion of blood upon the brain, and desirous
of obtaining medical assistance he rose from his bed to call for it.
He was, however, unable to open his chamber door, and in this
dilemma he managed to reach the dining table, whence he toook a
razor for the purpose of opening a vein, in which attempt, however,
he had very nearly deprived himself of existence by the force and
depth of the incision."
Died, at Baltimore, in the United States, on the
19th ultimo, after a brief illness, Richard Caton, Esq., aged
eighty-three years. Mr. Caton was the father of the Duchess of
Leeds, the Marchioness of Wellesley, Lady Stafford, and Mrs.
M`Tavish, wife of Mr. M`Tavish, her Majesty's Consul at Baltimore.
Now that the Colombian agency has changed
hands, and it is transferred to the highly respectable firm of
Messrs. Baring Brothers, there seems every reason to believe that
the bondholders will realise the terms of the compromise effected
with New Granada in April last for the settlement of their fifth
portion of the debt of that country. This being the case, refe-
rence may usefully be made to the heads of agreement, with the
view of keeping before the bondholders and the public the condi-
tion of the stock under this altered state of affairs. Bonds,
it will be recollected, are to be issued for the principal,
bearing 1 per cent. for the first four years, subse-
quently increasing per cent. annually, till the rate reaches
6 per cent. For the arrears of interest bonds are also to be issued,
but they are not to carry interest till the end of sixteen years, when
they will commence at 1 per cent., increasing afterwards 1-Bth per
cent, annually, till the rate of 3 per cent. is reached. The pay-
ment of ss. 6d. per cent, made by Messrs. Fowles and Co. from
funds in their hands last year, is to be deducted from the first divi-
dend which the bondholders are to receive on the Ist proximo.
The dividends are to be paid half..yearly, and the nett proceeds of
tobacco, and one-half of the Customs duties, stand pledged for the
provision of the necessary funds.— Times.
FOREIGN PROVISIONS.—The General Steam Navi-
gation Company's vessel has brought this week, from Rotterdam,
32 cows, 13 oxen, 3 calves, 3 sheep, and 4 lambs, in addition to 23
baskets of potatoes, six baskets of cucumbers, 6 baskest of yeast, 7
packages of sturgeon, and 16 of other descriptions of fish, a
quantity of cheese, butter, and a variety of other articles of Dutch
produce, for consumption here. The company's vessel, Neptune,
from Hamburgh, has also brought 26 sheep, and upwards of 600
casks of butter; the Sir Edward Banks, from Ostend, 16 cases of
poultry, and a large quantity of eggs and butter ; and the James
Watt, from Havre, also a quantity of eggs, lice. The steamers
from France are now also bringing a variety of foreign seeds,
which are free of duty by the new Customs Act from the Ist of
the present month. The influx of vessels from all parts of the
globe into this and the outposts has been very great during the
last few days, and the waterside trade throughout the kindom is
accordingly in a very busttling state.

Monday last a wrestling match
came off at Slough, between Goodman, of the Royal Horse Guards,
and Dyer, the celebrated Cornish wrestler, for 251. a side. Some
fine play was shown on both sides, when Goodman caught his man
on the hip and threw him cleverly, amidst the loud applause of the
numerous spectators. In the second bout both entered the ring
smilingly, and each appeared confident. Some hard play oc-
curred, and many good points and stops were exhibited on both
sides, when Goodman, after a hard struggle, picked up his man
with a cross-buttock. The fall was disputed by the umpires; but
ultimately decided in Goodman's favour by the referee. Goodman
had decidedly the advantage over his opponent in point of strength,
youth, activity, and science, and he is now open to any man in
Devon for 251., in the Devon st)le, and without bhoe.
CHEAP FARES TO MARGATE.—Margate having
suffered very materially by the cheap rate at which passengers have
been conveyed to other places of resort on the sea-coast, by ex-
cursion trains and steamboats, the tradesmen of this town have
this year entered into arrangements which will enable them to
compete with these more favoured places. It is their intention,
during the summer months, to run four vessels from London, by
which passengers will be carried at one-half the prices now charged.
The well-known and meritorious Dwakarnauth has
arrived at Naples, with Mb family, in the English corvette the
Eagle, from Bengal, en route for England. He intends residing in
Italy during the approaching winter.

SUICIDES INPistraco.—Testerday morning consi-
derable excitement prevailed in the vicinity of Pimlico, in conse-
quence of two persons committing suicide by hanging. It appears
that a female named Ann Wilkinson, of No. 2, Be!grave Cottages,
Westbourne.street, Pimlico, had been of unsound mind for some
time past. She retired to rest on Wednesday night in her usual
health, and the next morning, not making her appearance,
her friends became alarmed. The police were called in, who
forced open the door of her apartment, when she was discovered
suspended to the bedrail by a silk handkerchief, and quite dead.
No sooner had the above case been discovered than an alarm was
instantly raised of a man named James Neville having committed
suicide in a similar way. The police accordingly proceeded to No.
14. Newland.strect, Pimlico, and there found the deceased man
dead, with a rope tightly fastened round his neck. He had com-
mitted suicide by hanging himself to a nail in the cupboard door of
his bedroom.

The steam-ship Antwerpen, Captain Jackson, ar-
rived here yesterday morning with a full complement of passengers.
The voyage was made in IS hours only,
