31onmowms.—At Ayr, one evening lately, a
party of three women and one man were seen walking to-
gether on the beach, and separated, the man taking his
position barely out of pistol shot; and, to the surprise of
on-lookers, he commenced stripping as if going to bathe.
But surprise was succeeded by consternation on the
part of the spectators when one of the women began to
divest herself of her clothes. The man met the lady half
way, and, to the amazement of all who witnessed the
spectacle, gave her his arm and slowly and, ceremoniously
marched into the sea knee deep. Adult baptism was the
key to this proceeding ; for the man, after pronouncing
some. gibberish, immersed his compannion over head and
ears, and pronouncing a benediction, they slowly returned
to their respective places. The party went off singing
psalms aloud. Subsequent inquiry brought out -the fact
that the 'dipper is a Mormonite, a disciple of Joe Smith,
and the diPpSe is a 4ewly-made cognrt, ..=Greenock
Advertintr.

LEEDS.—Prices are without 21teration, and the mills
continue to be fully employed. Many of the wholesale
buyers have been in town this week, and, encouraged by
the favourable prospects of the harvest, have purchased
rather freely, and a full average business has been trans-
acted in the warehouses. The war with Russia is exer-
cising a most prejudicial influence upon the flax trade of
Leeds, and other places in the West Riding, owing to the
:principal source of supply being now cut oft Flax, which
not very long ago sold for £35 per ton, is now quoted at£6s.

BRADFORD.—WooI : The quantity coming to market
it on the increase, but as many spinners have laid in good
supplies, at prices much easier than are now demanded,
there is no disposition to add to stocks. The activity in
the woollen trade, and the small .quantity now making of
I brokes causes them to realise full prices.—Yarns :
ning month, are spoken of, but old
