MISSING STEWARD.—This gentleman, who has been missing since Thursday morning last, has not been found. Since his disappearance the river has been systematically dragged, except at night, and the coppice near has been ransacked, but so unsuccessful has the search been that last night it was decided not to continuo it, but to keep a watch on the river for any trace of the missing man. The locality in which he was last seen has been daily visited by hundreds of people, and is a spot of some beauty, about a mile and a half from' Christchurch, and in the heart of his lordship's estate. Its shape is that of an irregular triangle, formed by the River Stow on the west side, and by the road to Heron Court on the cast. About 100 yards further northward the road and the river run side by side. Nearest the road is a small wood, which runs to the river in the point of the triangle, behind which is a small field, and next the river a small meadow. This meadow is the piece of land which it was supposed he left his carriage to see. The northern end of this meadow narrows almost to a point from which point a path leads up a steep inclineinto tie woods above. The river is exceedingly deep. at this point, and the path slants towards the river ; and it is thought that the unfortunate gentleman was seized with sudden cramp, and rolled off into the river. No motive appears to exist which would have led him to commit suicide, or to wander away into the woods and covers, which extend for miles to the northeast. No reward has been offered for his recover":  ORTII A MILLION OF MONEY AND YET !—Wlttlt a million is worth in some minds may be judged from the the two bon mots just crept up. Hope, the celebrated banker, who was suffering from an inexorable malady which prevented him from eating, seeing a friend at work upon a chop, exclaimed with accents of emotion, stopping his friend's hand as it was conveying a piece of chop on a fork to his mouth, " Cherished friend, I would give a million to be able to eat a chop as thou art doing !" And M. Nathaniel Rothschild, who was- paralysed, on hearing of the accident to his brother from a fall from his horse, exclaimed, " Ah l how happy he must be to be able to get on horseback at the risk even of breaking his neck by fall I I would give a million to be able to risk as much.'
