TRADE Or SOUTHAMPTON.—We understand
that the business of this port in the past year trebled that
of any preceding. The exports have increased in the
same time fivefold, and the number of passengers landed
from foreign countries amounted to nearly 50 per day
during the 365 days. There were 553 vessels inwards
from foreign ports, and with cargoes outwards nearly 300.
This year commences under auspices still more favour-
able, for now we shall have a direct communication
with all the West India Islands, New York, Halifax, the
coast of South America, the Isthmus of Panama, &c.,
once a fortnight, besides twice a month to Alexandria,
Suez, Calcutta, Madras, and Ceylon. We are also gra-
tified to find that there is a corresponding augmentation
of the coasting trade ; hence Southampton now ranks as
a port of importance in the commercial world, and the
first in England for passenger traffic.—Hampshire Ade-
pendeht.

A MILITARY NIGHT LARK.—About one
o'clock on Wednesday morning three young military offi-
cers belonging to different depots stationed in Canterbury,
on returning home from the theatre, amused themselves
with hallooing, hooting, and hurrahing as loud as their
lungs would permit them. On being met by Morley,
a policeman, they were requested to proceed quietly on
their way; for that, if they did not, he must take them
into custody. One of them then began to scream and
moan in so shocking a manner that two other police-
men, hearing the noise and thinking that it was some
old lady who had received some kind of hurt, ran to
the spot to render her assistance. The officers, however,
still refused to proceed peaceably to their homes, and
they were taken to the station-house, where they imme-
diately found bail, and appeared to answer to the charge
before the Magistrates' Court at eleven o'clock the same
morning. The Magistrates dismissed the case, after
giving the parties a sever© reprimand for their noisy con-
attet.—Dever chronicle
