Tnx HAGUE, JULY 7.—We hear from Scheveningen that
early on the morning of the 6th a splendid English Govern-
ment steamer appeared off that port, at the distance of 300
ells, where it cast anchor opposite the bathing-house. It was
soon seen to put off a boat, in which the captain and some officers
and cadets came on shore. Various conjectures were made
during the whole day by the numerous spectators on the cause of
the arrival of this steamer. A report passed from mouth to
mouth that the intelligence published by the Dagblad, of the
Hague, was going to be realised by beginning to take sound-
ings for the purpose of making a harbour for small steam-
boats, for the English correspondence, which will be of incal-
culable advantage to Scheveningen and the Hague.
About six in the afternoon a fine Dutch merchantman was
seen to approach in full sail, which passed dose by the steam-
boat. This sight was loudly cheered by the thousands of spec-
tators assembled on the terrace of the bathing-house, especially
when the Captain of the merchantman fired a salute of three
guns, but whether it was intended for the steamer or for the
fair sex, or for the fine band of music directed by Mr. Dunek-
ler, is a mystery. The English Captain, Officers, and Cadets,
having announced themselves among the numerous company in
the bathing-house, returned to their vessel, which immediately
weighed anchor, and was soon out of sight.
COLOGNE, JULY 2.—Oificial information was received from
Berlin yesterday, that. the Prince of Russia will arrive in our
city on the 25tti, and the King and Queen on the 27th of this
month. It is thought they will stop here only a few days, and
will go down to the castle of Stotzenfels. There is some reason
to hope that their Majesti.-s will be present at the fete in ho-
nour of Beethoven at Bonn, on the I Ith of August, and that
Queen Vietoria, who is expected at Stoizenfels on the Bth of
August, will likewise be present.

SALMON AND ANOTHER V. NIMMO.—In this case,
which was tried in the Sheriff's Court on the Bth, the verdict was
for the defendant, but execution was delayed till next term, as
stated in The Sun of that day. A Correspondent says :—" The
verdict was for the defendant on the' second issue' only, and for
the plaintiffs on the other issues, the Sheriff giving the plaintiffs
liberty to move the court next term to set aside the detendani's
verdict, on a point of law reserved, the record being stayed for
that purpose."
SWIMMING MATCH AT HOLBORN BATHS.—This
match came of on Tuesday evening, at half-past eight o'clock,
before a very crowded and respectable audience. In the first heat
three competitors started—namely, Messrs. Pentus, Mr. Poulton,
and Mr. Nicholson. Mr Pentus took the lead at the start, and
kept it all through, Mr. Poulton maintaining a very good second.
The second heat was between Messrs. Robertson, Turner, and
Grant, which was won easily by Mr. Robertson; Mr. Turner
coming in second. The final heat was contended for by Messrs.
Turner, Nicholson, Robertson, and Pentus, and after a sharp
contest, the latter gentleman was declared the winner of the cup,
amidst loud cheering. Mr. Robinson was awarded the medal.
The race was one against time, and occupied two minutes and
twelve seconds.

There was yesterday another of those sudden
changes of weather, for which the present summer has been so
remarkable. During the greater part of the night of Monday there
was much thunder and lightning, with a heavy fall of rain, which
lasted a great part of yesterday, and the thermometer was several
degrees lower than on the preceding day.—G alignani of Wed.

The eminent Roman banker, Prince Torlonia, has
arrived at Milan from Rome. His journey is said to be connected
with the formation of the railroads undertaken by the Italian and
♦ustrian Railway Company.
On Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, a farmer
from the neighbourhood of Honfleur was caught in the storm,
whilst travelling on horseback, and both man and beast were struck
dead by the electric fluid.
The Duke and Duchess of Nemours are expected
at Libourne on August 2, to remain there during the 3d, and leave
on the 4th for Bordeaux. The municipal council has voted 6,000 f.
for the entertainment of their Royal Highnesses, and the principal
inhabitants intend to offer them a spiendid ball. The Du ke d'Au-
male will, it is believed, arrive at Libourne on the 3d, and pro.
coed with the Duke and Duchess of Nemourd, on the 4th, to
Bordeaux.

BIRMINCHAM, THURSDAY.--The usual meeting of
the iron and coal masters of South Staffordshire and South Shrop-
shire took place in our Town-hall this day. Since the last quar-
terly meeting, it is needless to say, the price has teen very consi.
derably reduced. Every description of manufactured iron, within
thirteen weeks, has been reduced 20 or 25 per cent. The great
hope of the iroumastera is, now the price has, as they conceive, got
to its lowest eob, that the present price will remain stationary. We
do not, from all accounts, believe that it will• The railway spe-
culations of the midland counties, and of the entire country, now
Parliament is becoming tired of the inquiries, prove to be great
hoaxes to the iron-manufacturers. It is true that ssme masters, in
anticipation of a great demand, have done well (most of them
deeply involved in these speculations), but the issue will be, as an-
ticipated by Lords Brougham and Ashburton, that the railway
mania will not only injure private speculators, but that it will he
seriously injurious to the iron trade of Staffordshire and Wales.
The attempt to suppl} has far outreached the probability, if not the
possibility, of demand. The prices settled at Dudley, on Saturday
next, will be most important to the public.
DETERMINED SUICIDE AT LONDON- BRIDGE —On
Thursday night, a few minutes before eight o'clock, as a man re.
spectably attired was passing along London-bridge on the pathway
on the eastern side, he suddenly stopped near the third recess, and
threw himself over the parapet into the Wd er. The tide was run-
' ing down with extraordinary rapidity, so that before the unfirtu.
nate man could be reached his body had floated to a considerable
distance Just as he sunk, one of the boats neared him, but too
late to save his life, as he sank to rise no more,
The body of the sots of Mr. Chandler, the pro•
prietor of the Ship, Milbank, who was drowned on Tuesday whilst
endeavouring to save a man from a similar fare, was found on
Thursday by some fishermen off the Hungerford Suspension-bridge.
I'hurs:'av rner.ong Mr. Bs-luaus n lilahv, the eh t"
usher of the Thames Police-court, departed this life in the 65th
year of his age. He had been attached to the old Thames police
for 24 years previous to his appointment, as a " land officer."
REASONABLY MAD ! rile authorities of the town
of Greenwich have issued a proclamation to the local police to
destroy all wandering dogs who may be "suspected reasonably
mad ;" the matter being left to the judgment of the policeman
on duty.
SPA-FIELDS BURIAL-GROUND.—Thursday the arbi-
trator (Mr. Bramwell, barrister) commenced the hearing of evi.
dence on the order of reference made on the prosecution connected
with the Spa-fields burying-ground. Mr. Wakeling, the vestry
clerk of Clerkenwell, attended in support of the prosecution ; and
Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, represented the de.
Pendants. The evidence given was riot allowed to be made public,
nor, of course, the discussion which occurred between the parties,
and which took place before any of the witnesses were called. The
matter was not concluded, and the opinion of the arbitrator will be
made to the Court under whose direction the order of reference
was made,

COURAGE REWARDED.—On the Bth instant the

General Court of the Royal Humane Society, at the recommenda-
tion of the Special Committee, awarded silver medallions of honour
to Mr. Frederic Burd, son of the Rev. G. Rued, of Cound-lodge,
near Shrewsbury, and to Henry Wood Sandford, son of the Rev.

W. Sandford, incumbent of Newport, Salop, for the highly cou-
rageous manner in which they exerted themselves, under circum-
stances of extreme personal peril and difficulty, in rescuing three
ladies and a gamekeeper from very imminent danger of death by
drowning in a large sheet of water on the estate of Mr. J. C.
Borough, recently High-Sheriff of Shropshire.

CHEESEMONGERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—The
anniversary dinner of this Society was held on Thursday at the
London Tavern, when about one hundred and twenty- gentlemen
sat down to an excellent dinner prepared in the best style of
Messrs. Bathe and Breach. Mr. W. Ewart, M.P., took the
chair, and was supported by some of the principal members of the
trade. The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening,
" Success to the Cheesemongers. Benevolent Institution," hoped
and ventured to prophecy that, in the course of a very short
period of time, the duties upon those articles which formed now
an incubus upon their trade would be removed. The Secretary
then read the usual report, which announced the increasing pros-
perity of the Institution, and also the list of subscriptions of the
evening, which amounted to nearly three hundred pounds. The
vocal part of the entertainment was conducted by Mr. Hobbs, who,
with his assistants, contributed greatly to the amusement of the
assembled party, who retired about eleven o'clock. Mr. Toole was
the toast-master, and, we need hardly add, acquitted himself in an
able manner.

REDUCTION IN THE PRICE O 1 GAS.—The Birming-
ham Old Gas Company have given notice that from the Ist of the
present month the price of gas to consumers under 5,000 cubic
feet per quarter, will be 6s. Bd. per 1,000; to those consuming up-
wards of 25,000 cubic feet per quarter, ss. Bd., and to consumers
above that quantity, 4s, 6d. per cubic foot.

•
ORNITHOLOGICAL EXYRESS.—The Aysfern of com-
munication by means of carrier-pigeons, between London and
Paris, is carried on to a very eonsideral le extent, and at a great
cost. There are several perfect establishments kept up by
parties interested in the quick transmission of intelligence,
at the ports of Dover and Calais, and at regular distances
on the roads of the two countries; whence the birds are ex-
changed in regular order, as they return with their little
billet. The interruption occasioned by the hours of night is
made up by a man on horseback; who ag iin at daylight, on
arriving at a pigeon-station, transfers his dispatch to the
keeper, who has his bird in readiness. The distance by day
is accomplished in less than eight hours. It has been found
that hawks have proved themselves dangerous enemies even
to these quick-flighted birds; and a premium of half-a-crown
is paid for every hawk's head produced. The pay of a
keeper is 501. a-year ; and when this is added to the cost of
food and the expense of sending the pigeons on from station
to station to be ready for their flight home, it will appear that
the service is attended with considerable outlay. The duty
of training young birds, and the management of the old
ones, in feeding them at proper times, and in keeping them i❑
the dark till they are thrown up, is very responsible, and &most
unceasing. A good bird is not supposed to last more than two
years. —Note Book of a Naturalist.
ROCHDALE MONTHLY CATTLE FAIR, MONDAY,
JULY 7.—We have had about an average number of horned
cattle in the fair to-day ; there was also a numerous attendance
of graziers, butchers, and country farmers. The prices of all
sorts of horned cattle were about ten per cent. higher than they
were at our last monthly fair, and more than an average num-
ber of the middle qualities of beasts were sold. Good old hay
was selling at 9d., 9d., and in some instances at 10d. per stone,
being upwards of a penny per stone less than it was a month ago.
