FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

GOLD has been discovered in the Annapolis mountains,
Nova Scotia.

A TAILOR, father of eight children, and sued for his
debts, has just hung himself at Basle, in the gateway of
his creditors, to whom, by a letter found in his garments,
he has bequeathed his body in payment.
A MAN has been condemned to death at Paris for the
murder of his daughter. He stabbed her while she slept,
his object being, it is said, to prevent her from being mar-
ried, and leaving him, he having conceived an odious
passion for her.
THE NUMBER OP DOGS IN FRANCE is about 3,000,000.
Dogs belonging to the rich, and considered as likely to be
kept, in spite of the tax about to be imposed on them,
amount to about one-third that number, and wandering
dogs, without masters, to one-tenth.
AT THE LATE FIRE AT BZVERNEBORG, IN RUSSIA.
295 houses, the church, the salt-magazines, three mili-
tary store-houses, and the public schools, were com-
pletely destroyed. The loss is estimated at more than
800,000 rubles, about three millions of frances.
THE FRIENDS OF COUNT D'ORSAY will regret to
hear that for some time past that gentleman has suffered
severely in his health, and that his medical men are not
without serious uneasiness on his account. He has been
recommended sea-bathing, and is to leave Paris for Di-
eppe in a few days.

A TRAGICAL. EVENT occurred at Genoa on the 20th.
While a couple, who had been married the day before,
were walking in the Piazza dell' Annunziata, which was
full of people at the time, the rejected lover of the lady, a
man of the age of 53, suddenly fell upon her in a fit of
jealousy and stabbed her, though not dangerously. He
then immediately pulled a razor out of his pocket and cut
his own throat with it. He was taken to the hospital,
where he died two hours after.

MORMONISM..--THE RUINS OF NAVVOO.—The popula-
tion of Nauvoo, once the great city of the Mormons,
peopled by 20,000 inhabitants, has, since the removal of
the sect to the Salt Lake, dwindled to about 2,000. One
half of the houses have been pulled down, the other half
remain tenantless. The mansion of Joe Smith is kept by
his widow, who has remarried, as a tavern. On one of
the remaining walls of " The Temple" is the following in.
scription :—" The House of the Lord, built by the Church
of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. Commenced
April 6, 1841." A company of French Socialists, in
number about 400, have purchased a portion of the pro-
perty, the site and the ruins of the Temple included.
CASE OF PRIESTLY FORGERY.— Galignani' s Messenger
states :—" A priest named Peyranne, cure of a parish near
Toulouse, was a few days ago tried by the Court of Assize
of that city for forgery. In 1847 he purchased some houses
in the commune of St. Pierre des Loges, but did not pay
for them. An action was brought against him, but a notary,
named Rogues, whom he consulted, got an advance of
2,500 f. from one of his clients for him. The interest on
this sum he duly paid for three years. In 1847, Rogues
disappeared, leaving his affairs in great disorder, and
several forgeries in different documents. The priest took
advantage of his flight to pretend that the deed by which
he recognised the debt of 2,500 f. was a forgery. This was
disputed, and he brought an action to establish his alle-
gation. In the course of the proceedings it became ne-
cessary for him to examine the deed, and during the tem-
porary absence of the notary, in whose possession it was,
he blotted out his name. This constituted the forgery
complained of. The notary immediately saw what he
had done, and complained bitterly of it, and he drew the
attention of the priest, who had accompanied the prisoner,
to the blot, still wet. Fearing a prosecution, the offender
took to flight, but after a while he gave himself up to
justice. The jury declared him guilty, but with exte-
nuating circumstances, and the court condemned him to
six years' imprisonment with hard labour.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, JULY 2.

The trade continue to purchase only to a moderate extent,
and exporters, with the exception of buyers for Russia, have
restricted their operations; the market consequently exhibits
much dullness, although the absence of pressure to sell pre-
vents any decline of consequence, and it is difficult to purchase
at id per lb reduction upon last Friday's quotations, except in
the common descriptions of American, which are rather
-unsaleable at the above decline. Brazil and Egyptian are dull
of sale, and Surat continues in good demand, at former prices.
Speculators have taken 8080 American, 300 Pernams, 560 Egyp-
tian, and 760 Surat, and there are reported for export, 5730
American, 1080 Pernam,lo Egyptian,4lo Surat, and 50 Madras.
