of 10 sovs. each, with 50 added by Sir W. M. Stanley,
Bart., 12st. each ; horses which have been regularly hunted'
with Sir W. M. Stanley's hounds to be allowed 10 lbs.
The horses to be ridden by their owners, or farmers or

Both the above stakes close to-day.
Lord Sandon, Sir H. Douglas, Sir S. Glynne, and Mr.-
E. Cardwell, were amongst the company present at the
third parliamentary dinner of the Speaker of the Muse
of Commons on Saturday.
The electors of Pontefract have addressed a remon-
strance to Mr. Monckton Milnes dissenting from the
sentiments expressed in his late speech in reference to•
the measures to be taken for the benefit of the Roman.
Catholic population of Ireland.
ISLE OF MAN BANK.—At the Court of General Gaol
Delivery on Friday the court took into consideration the
matter of " Duff and Kelly against the Trustees and'
Directors of the Isle of Man. Joint Stock Bank." The
judgment of the Court was, that " Injunction be forth,
with granted ;" but no receiver is yet appointed—the last
part of the prayer of the complainants being still " under
consideration."—Manx Liberal.

TUB TARIFF.—The practical working of the tariff, as
it respects the importation of live animals, certainly, gives
no ground for alarm on the part of the agricultural class
of producers. The oxen and bulls imported last year
amounted to only 1,114, against 3,156 in the preceding
year ; cows 367, against 1,036 ; calves 40, against 70;
sheep 210, against GU; lambs 7, against 10; and swine
35i, against 410. This exhibits the whole extent of the
importation during the second year of the operation of the
tariff.—Berkshire Chronicle..
THE WILLS' FORGERIES.—We learn from a.source 00
which we place reliance, that Mrs. Dorey, one of the par-
ties charged with being an active agent in the extensive'
conspiracy by which large sums were obtained by means of
these forgeries and fraudulent personations,. has made a
full confession ; and that the document is in the hands of
the authorities. We presume that the fact of such con-
fession having been made was the cause of Mrs. Dorey'e
solicitor taking no part in the last examination of the
parties before the Lord Mayor, beyond requesting that
the unfortunate woman should be allowed to remain is
the Compter until the eve of the session.—Globe.
MELANCHOLY REVERSE OF FORTUNE.--An
of the sad changes to which persons who have movedhigu'
in commercial credit and wordly comfort are frequentlf
subjected, has occurred in the case of Mr. Robson, the-
projector and publisher of the Post office Directors,.
which bore his name. The unfortunate gentleman, after
suffering the loss of his fortune, and beholding the wreak
of his pes, sank lower and lower in poverty, until be
was compelled to seek parochial aid, and at lenth die 4 nu
