THE PRIZE MONEY AND THE SLAYER PUT-
HAM.-The u. S.. Marshal for South Caro-
lima gave Lieut.. Maffit a receipt for BOG At
ricans, for which number $25 dollars per
head, amounting, in all, to $1,000, will be
awarded as prize money to the fig officer
of the home squadron, and the officers and
crew Of the Dolphin. The hig off cer re-
ceives on~e-twentieth the commanding officer
or the Dolphin two-twentieths. and the bal
nnce is distributed to the other officers and
crew of the Dolphin, according To rank and
rate.
1t is doubted, however, whether the fig
officer Commodore Mcintosh Is entitled TO
one-twentieth, as he was absent, on leave,
from his station at the time OF the capture,
The question will doubtless be determined
by the Attorney General. After the pre-
scribed legal forms have been gone through
with, aad the Echo has been lbelled, she
will be sold at public auction. Hall Of the
proceeds will be taken by the Government,
according to special provisions Of law, and
devoted to the naval pension fund. The
other half will be divided among the officers
and crew ofthe Dolphin, according 10 the
same rule by which the per capita prize
money is distributed. Eighteen of the AT.
ricans died after their capture by Lieutenant
Mafit. For these the per capita of $25 viii
not be paid. but only for those who wers
delivered alive into the hands of the United
States Marshal.

THE GRAIN CRoP OF EUHoPE.-The Bos-
ton Journal thus epitomizes the information
respecting the European grain crop OF 1858,
as derived from the latest foreign papers:
sin countries bordering upon the Mediier-
ranean the crop is variously reported. but
apon the whole may be regarded as equal to,
if not exceeding an average. Egypt will
furnish a full average. Spain and Portugal
will not require any supplies from other
countries. In Belgium and Holland there in
an average crop, while in the Baltic regions
including northern Germany and western
Russia, the yield is below an average, al
though high prices may induces exports 10
some extent. In France there lisa fair crop
of wheat and rye, oats being inferior. The
cereal crop of England exceeds the average
and a portion of the extraordinary wheat
yield of last year still remains in the hands
of farmers to be added to this years harvest.
Other breadstuffs are somewhat under the
average. In Ireland all kinds of produce
are abundant compared with recent years.
The wheat crop of Scotland is excellent,
other crops being medium, and possibly be-
low. On the whole, the United Kingdom
will this year require smaller imports OF
grain than inrordinary seasons. The sup
plying power of Central Russia is Rot yet
determined"

THIS GREAT CHESS, MATcH.-We learn
from Galignani'e Messenger, brought by the
Arago, that the highly interesting match
between Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Harwi;z was
somewhat delayed during the past week by
a temporary ~indisposltiun OF the latter gem

day. when the American champion obtained
the advantage. The match now stands
thus: Mr.. n ,rphy has won four and M.
Harwi.z two. Whoever gains the EFsr
seven will be the cunqurror. Large bets
are dependant OIL thp game.
The Courier DIES Eats Unis of tbs pasrn-
ing, Oct. 9Th says:
"a letter from Paris to Us says: "Yhe

amateurs of this game and all ME habitaes
of the Cafe de la Regepce, has iasi termin-
