was filed with alarming rumors in regard to
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
Stocks and public securities were at once affect
ed, and financial quotations showed decline
The Prince had restless night Thursday, and
Friday morning there was considerableincrease
of fever. Bulletins continued to be Issued at
shorts intervals during the day, all to the effect
that he was becoming worse. At 6 P. II. an
extra issued by the tStandar announced that
he was sinking fast and that congestion Of the
lungs had set 10. All the members of the Royal
family had been summoned, and were seen
driving rapidly towards Sandringham their
distress being very apparent. A still later des-
patch reported that the Queen was wild with
grief, but that the Prince had slept a little and
was easier.

The degalcation in the Treasury Department,
in the case Of Marden, has developed other
frauds of heavy sums Of money, and the books
show that by means Of abstraction at different
periods, within about two years, an amount OF
over $4,000 has been stolen from the govern
meut in the cash-room Of the Treasury, the Of
tenders being Marden aud Seth johnson, inter-
est teller The discovery of Marden's guilt led
the way to the discovery of johnson crime

Speakership of the House of DELEGATES

The election of Marshall Hanger, ESQ.,, of
this place, as Speaker of the House of Dele gates,
though not unexpected, is gratifying to his con-
stituents. 1t was not unexpected, for at the time
of his nomination by the Convention as can
didate for the House of Delegates, it was
thought that he would be elected Speaker and
the predictions in reference thereto made by
Col. JAS. I'll. Skinner and Maj Fl. Nj. Bill on
that occasion, when they 50 handsomely urged
his claims to the nomination, have been verified
by the result. 1t is gratifying to them, because
they are pleased to see that the members of

know him to possess He will make an honest,
