FESSOVUb.
Quite a sensation was created In Halifax a
Short' time .since by the marriage of the accom
plished and beautiful daughter of one of the wealth
iest citizens, now deceased, who held a high position
in society. The happy man was jFarinl, the cham
pion of Niagara Falls, who, it will bo rooolleoted,
attempted the daring feat of Mossing the rapids
within twenty foot of the brink, on stilts, and when
half way across was precipitated (by one of his
stilts breaking) into the roaring waters. Hla extra
ordinary escape, and reaching an island which had
never before been visited by any human being, must
be. still fresh In the memory of our readers. The
lucky follow is said to bo well bred, an Uppor Cana
dian by birth, and ono who studied the medical pro
fession, though, from some strange fascination, he
has adopted that of a rope- walker. The lady is sodd
to be- exceedingly beautiful and highly aooom
plipl Od, and is heiress to a property worth at least
sso,ooo. .
On November 14th, the 92d annlyersary of the
birthday of Field Marshal Viscount Qombermere
■was celebrated at Burley,dam. Sir John Hanmer,
M. V., presided, supported by the leading resident
country gentlemen and others. In proposing ‘‘The
Health of the Cheshire Hero,” the right honorable
baronet quoted from the Duke of Wellington’s de
spatches to the effeot that Viscount Oomborinero
was on® of- the-beat generals and best working offi
cers he 6ver had under him. sir John stated that
Lord Gombermere was even now more energetic in
looking after the interests and welfare ol ha tenant
ry .than any nobleman in the eonnty. Lord Com*
bormere, It will be remembered, has been recently
mentioned as a still older general than our own ve
teran commander, Scott,

as it became known at Calais that M. Borryer was
to arrive on the 11th ult, by the steamer from Eng
land, the barristers of that town and many of the
-prinoipal Inhabitants determined to pay their re
speots to him, A groat number accordingly assem
bled oh the quay and greeted Mm with loud cheers
on landing. M. Berryer expressed himself highly
gratified with this manifestation, and before leav

Calais Bar and thanked them for the honor they had
done him,.
The editor of the OhorlottesviUe (N. O.) Bulle
tin, who had recently an Interview with Alexander
H. Stephens, deolares that Mr. Stephens Is no re.
constructionist. Ho believes that the worst thing
that oouia happen to the Confederacy would be a
reunion with the Northern States. Misery and de
gradation, worse than Ireland ever experienced,
would he the rebel portion upon any reunion that .

txek.—On Saturday the Ohio military agent (Mr.
Wetmore) at Washington-presented Nathaniel Mc-
Lean Gwynne. Company H, 18th Ohio Cavalry, a
lad of fifteen years, to the Seoretaryof War. The
boy distinguished himself at the battle of the 11 Cra
ter,” before Petersburg. He was counselled by his
officers, berore the fight, not to go in, as he had not
been musteredi consequently was not obliged to do
go. He Indignantly replied: “My family are of
different stock from that, to he left, behind to limber
In the rear.” He went Into the desperate charge
which soon followed. Apiece of shell Brushed his
left arm, which had to be amputated, soon after.
Alter a few pleasant words to the lad the Secretary
ordered a medal to be prepared for him.
lINAHCIAIi AKII COMMERCIAL.
It was Intimated on ths street yesterday that the sub
scriptions to the 10 JO years' five per cent, gold-bearing
stock of ths United States, which have besn open to
the'publie since last spring at par, and accumulate d inte
rest from the last dividend term (say Ist of March or Ist
of September), the hack interest to he counted at the rate
of 160 per cent, for gold, are aeon to be withdrawn by
the Government. This loan was originahy for $200,-
000,000. The subscriptions previous to the time when
the Secretary brought forward tte new c-20s amounted
to $81,680,000. The further subscription of $18,820,000
would absorb the first securities of $100,(00,000, and it la
probable this amount would soon be taken up on official
notice that the second $100,009,000 Is for thepreaent to be
withdrawn.
The stock market was more buoyant yesterday, the
sales especially By the "regular board” covering a
larger amount than we have noticed for several weeks.
The project to form what is to he known as the * ‘ Inde
pendent Board of Brokers,” to go into effeit on the 24
of January, has imparted new life to the old hoard,
which was getting to he considered an old-fogy in
stitution in view of the fact that an “outside” or
ganization, made np of all Claeses of stock opera
tors, many of whom pnrsno other trades and profes
sions for a livelihood, was taking to itself the entire
patronage of the business done in the oil stocks. Be
tween the two there have not prevailed the most
kindly, feelings of Jate, and now that the feud has
broken out to such an extent that the “regmlars”
have passed resolutions dif countenancing altogether the
"outside room," we expect to see a lively time,
on the principle that competition is the life of trade.
There continue to be large sales of Government bonds,
though prices are not well tustained. The five
twenty bonds and the ten-forties declined X. The
ISM loan, however. Bold up to 109 X at the dose—an ad
vance of X. The new 7-30 s were steady afcOgX. State

at about 68X. Company bonds were comparatively ac

This is the final report of tlie season.
The money market at Boston Is well supplied, and
the common rate of Interest , for short loans, at the
hanks an! ontslde of them, is six per cant. Thede
raand is allttle more active than It was last week, and
capitalists have less difficulty in finding employment
for surplus funds. The discount market is rather in
active, owing to a scarcity of desirable notes for sale.
The best names are negotiated at seven, and other
grades at from eight to ten percent, in the street. In
general business there Is increased animation, and
more disposition is manifested to buy the s'aple articles
of foreign and domestic merchandise, some of which
havcbeen lately doll of sale, in consequence of the de
cline in the premium on gold from the highest points,
In Chicago, according to the Tribune of the nth Inst

transactions, owing to decreased receipts of hogs, have
not been as large as some previous weeks. The advance

activity. During the week the demand for money has

is that the demand wUI he Increased during the ap

Contains tits latest intelligence on all matters relating
to roads and miaefy.to the transportation of products,
and to the manipulation of the metals in all parts of the
commercial -world, hut most particularly in the United
States and Territories.
And as the rail lines now stretch out West from
Bangor, and Bast from Ban Francisco, with a prospect
that the Pacific Railroad will soon supersede the Over
land stage route, and as mines of coal and iron, oil and
quicksilver, copper and nickel, lead and zinc, silver
and sold, ate scattered throughout the States and Ter
ritories, 5 ielding an annual product worth hundreds of
millions of dollars, and exhibiting an increase which
surpasses is beyond example, it will be
perceived, where the matter is appreciated, that the
mining and carrying investments of the whole country
have enlarged into stupendous totals and expanded over
vast areas
Of developments and results touching and pertaining
to these special interests, the Register keeps current re
cord in more variety and wider scope than any other
Weekly newspaper.
The Register was first published in May, 1856, is in
its ninth year, and is an established institution. .
As an advertising sheet for mining machinery, rail
road equipments, the metals, engineering,' etc., the
Register offers unsurpassed attractions through the
ramification of its continental and international cir
culation.
