SLIGHT MISTAKE OF A SWINDLER.— At the Derby Police Court, on Saturday last, Mr Hilton, head constable, addressing the bench, said a gentleman in court had received a letter from Leicester which he (Mr Hilton) was very anxious to get into tie public newspapers, as it would show up another branch of the celebrated "Long Firm." A set of swindlers, whose addresses were given as "Ward & Co., 4, New Stieet, Friar Lane, Leicester," advertised' to advance money in sums from £2O to £lOOO. A gentleman in Derby made an application for 400, and 'the firm," instead of answering his application, unfortunately for them, put in the wrong letter, 4nd one which was addressed to another member of the firm. The letter was as follows: "4, New Street, Angust 20, IBo2.—Dear H.—The enclosed came this morning; I suppose you will make a fiver out of him. Nothing to hand yet, and lam perfectly aground. Send some by return of post if you are able, as I have not funds to pay the rail back to York.

Send me all the news. We are both quite well and gloriously happy—Yours faithfully, W. J. H." Mr Hilton said he was anxious to put the public on their guard against such impostors. In answering letters, "the firm" invariably ask for a guinea to be sent as a consultation fee; but in this case the claim had been sent to the mug phrty,—ManoWe ficcantimr,  Outpand.  The Post Office money.order system is about to be introduced into Bengal. The money-order system is to be extended to South Australia on the Ist of October.  _ Mr A.

WARNING TO MARINERS.—Mr E. T. Cameron, master of the brigantine Annie Laurie' of this port now in the river, informs us that, on his voyage froin Pernambuco, on April 2, 1862, at 10.45 A.M. (civil time), he sighted very heavy breakers, which rose to the height of from 25 to 30 feet, there being at the time a heavy sea from the NNW, and good observations showed them to be in lat. 25 38 44 N, and lon. 44 53 17 W, at a place where the most recent charts give no indication of anything dangerous. On Friday last a small piece of paper, containing the following notification, written in pencil, was found lying on the bank of the Paisley Canal, near Pollokshields :—" May 2, 1862.-1 have come here with the intention of committing suicide, and if this r be found, let it be published, for my friends to w what has become of me.

ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND AMERICA. —The Paris correspondent of the Brussels Independauce tells the following piece of news :—" The journey of M. Lavalette to London, which had given rise to so many comments, is now explained; the object of it was simply to induce England to consent to a common intervention in America. The terms of this intervention are fixed. It will assume at first the form of an offer of mediation; and if the mediation is rejected, the two Powers will not shrink even from despatching a body of troops to impose it. It is certainly France which has taken the initiative of this proposition; England has accepted it only on one condition—namely, the previous settlement of the Roman question. The Imperial Government did not expect this demand. However, it has not been willing to find itself stopped by this skilful diversion; and, as it is very desirous of as early a conclusion as possible with Italy, it has lent an ear to the propositions from London, ardently supported, moreover, by Prince Napoleon. It therefore promised the recal of M. Goyon as the prelude to the evacuation of Rome, and it has thus led the English Cabinet to confer with it as to an intervention in American ars.

The animal when released was not able to walk, but is now completely recovered. ST.

The ceremony of capping took place in the Great Hall of the liuitAwi College at noon, in presence of a very large assemblage. The proceedings were conducted by Principal Forbes in the absence of Senior-Principal Tulloch. The Kilbiniie Iron Company (Meson,. Merry & Cunningham) are :sinking a new pit on the farm af Fardlehill, about a mile to the westward of Kilinarnook, and a few hundred yards south of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway.

Gur.sixca—During the last few weeks a number of men have been employed opening up the old lead mine on the farm of Knockabay, in the parish of New Luce, and we have been informed that it is likely to be productive. The men have discovered some lead already, but the weather is preventing them from getting on with their operations as they would like—so meek so, indeed, that it is feared the work net be temporarily suspended until sufficient inimping apparatus can be procured.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday in the village of Old Kilpatrick, a little child, aged 15 months, was unfortunately killed by the wheel of a cart going over it. The little one had just stepped from the door on to the road as the cart was passing. No blame is attachable to the driver, as he was at the horse's head at the time.  On Tuesday, the Renfrewshire Militia was reviewed by Col. Hamilton, in a field near Hawkhead. The day was fine, and a considerable number of spectators were present. The men performed the various evolutions with steadiness and precision. The annual meeting of the Ayr Gas Company was held on Tuesday in the Assembly Rooms—Hugh Cowan, Esq., chairman of the company, presiding. A dividend of 6 per cent., free of Income-tax, was then declared, and also 6d per share, being one-half of the deduction made from last year's dividend, to be paid on Friday first. The working-classes of Paisley, at the present time, under the pressure of stagnation in trade, with a prospect of still greater sufferings in the future, are bestirring themselves in order to secure assistance from Government to enable them to emigrate to Australia, Canada, British Columbia, or -New Zealand, either by means of an advance of public money or guarantee of a loan. Sfricine.—About half 'peat eight on Sunday morning a man named Arch. Kirkwood, who had been found lying in a state of intoxication in Canning Street, was taken to the Eastern Police Office. Shortly afterwards the turnkey was startled to find the prisoner suspended by the neck from the upper bar of the grating placed in front of the fire-place. The suicide had wound his handkerchief round his neck, and the more certainly to effect his own destruction, had drawn up hie feet so as to keep clear of the ground. Deceased belonged to Denny, although he had been living in the immediate neighbourhood of Glasgow for several years. His appearance was that of a respectable tradesman, his dress consisting of a heather-mixture tweed coat and trousers, black cloth 'eat, and stripped shirt.
