city, during the month of November S. 100000.
The amount received at the New Orleans Mint may
be stated at $500, 000-makng total of $6.900,-

month have been S5.530,000, leaving an excess of
receipts of $1,370000 to be added to the handsome
excess that was in the country the 1st Of Novem

and a half millions, and there is prospect of still
heavier receipts. At the same time there will be

FRENCH OFFICERS AMONG THE KAFF1Rs.-We find
the following in the Akhbar of Algiers on the Both
ultlmo: In the war now raging at the Cape of Good
Hope, the kafhrs have received the support of
several foreign officers. Among the number is a
Frenchman named Pere who served for long time
in Algeria suboficer of artillery and was after
wards in the rank in the Garde Mobile, where
he displayed great bravery After that corps was
disbanded he embarked on board vessel bound for
East Indies, which put in at the Cape. On learning
what was taking place in that country he repaired
to Lita-Kou, Kaffr town inhabited by powerful
people, to whom he offered his services, which were
readily accepted He has taken part in several SAN
culinary affairs, and he has acquired great ascen-
dency in the country by his courage and intelligence
He commanded the fortress of Mokoy. an important
position which defended the principal defe leading
into the Upper kaffraria. The English troops have
several times beseged this fort, but after losing
great number of men, were obliged to retire. This
circumstance has given high reputation to Perel,
who will probably play very important part in the
war in that country.
PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC ScHooLs-It appears from
the annual report just made, that there are in the
public schools of Philadelphia city and county, 49,

engaged in night schools The High School has
500, and the Normal school 143 pupils.

steamboats,, and consists of apparatus which
strikes the water with enormous force 1t is placed

LONDON NEwsPApERs.--From the returns of thu
Stamp Office. lately made up, it appears that the circu
atlon OF the London Times, in 1850, amounted to SO,
019, being gradual increase from 1916, when it a
mounted TO % ,594. Of all the daily papers in Lon
don, the Times is the only one that enjoys STEADY
growth. Independent of the fluctuations of public at
II fairs. This does not result from any superior abit,
in lis management but to its monopoly in advertising
and in this it cannot be disturbed long the

The following is comparison of the circulation O
the Times with that of all the other daily papers
