Henry LaboucheYe, who is not only editor of an influential London journal, but a member of Parliament as well, has been going into uncomfortable mathematics by showing that the cost of.thc royal family,, about 1,000,000 annually, would gire'a meal to 600,000 children on 300 days in the year. A novel is soon to appear fm the pen of J. C. Goldsmith, editor of the New York Weekly Ucrald. It is found ed on fact and is to bear tho title 4,Him self Ajain." Many of tfie characters and scenes arc taken from New. York, and one pleasing diversion is to be a xng composed by the famous pianist, S. B. Mills, especially for this work. The Grant & Ward failure looks worse as fresh revelations appear. Mi.Uons of dollars wcro secured from credulous persons, many of them wo rsen, and upon the assurance that large rf.es cf interest would be paid on the uan loaned.

The is ports to the West coast of Africa lat jear were oyer $22,000,000. while the exports were over 27,000,000. A losdiog paper says: St. Jacobs Oil, the great patn-destroyer, highly re commended for frojt bite. There was a terriblo panic on Wall trec yesterday, the natural outcome of the gambling stock speculations which seems to be the prevailing feature of that locality. Eight firms of bankers and brokers suspended and the Metropolitan National Bank ot New York, and- Atlantic State Bank, of Brcokly n, went by the board. There was also a run on the Second National Bank of Ncr York but it withstood the ru3h and is declared as strong as ever. The best informed seem o think that the worst has been known and that there will be no general panic. JOLJEWS. IIDtl TO MIW ADVERTISEMENTS.

We learn from Mr. Archie McNair, who came in on the W. C. & A. R. R. las tr night, of the very sudden death of a train hainit Fair Bluff, on Tuesday night. Mr. McNair was a passenger on Capt. Carman's freight train and when be stepped from the car the cook. Sharper Simmons, handed him bis valise and the next moment fell to the ground, a dead man. It is supposed ho died of heart disease. Deceased was well known to the rail road men and is said to have been one of the most reliable and efficient hands on the lino ot road. Ho was for sever al vcars a waiter at Mrs. Brother's " m boarding bouse at Lake Waccamaw A Train In a Storm, Cspt. June Gardner, the very clever conductor on the Carolina Central, has had many thrilling experiences in His lifo, the latest of which is thus narrated by the Charlotte Observer: , The Charlotte bound train on the Carolina Central road was caught in a frightful storm after leaving: Lanrin burg last Monday evening. There was but little wind or hail, but a strong wind prevailed and the lightning was incessant. Capt. June Gardner, who was in charge of the tram, says be nas boen in storms on land and on sea, but in all his life he never experienced such a storm as that of Monday night. For half an hour he says one could have read 1 a newspaper continually by the elaro of the lightning. The electric fluid would run along the track and circle the car wheels with hands of fire, but no damage was done to the train. A number of trees were shivered along the track, and the .noise pf the thunder bolts was awlul. Capt. Gardner says he thought the last day had come, an opinion that was generally shared by his frightened passengers. Wilmington, WrJglitsvllle & . Onslow Kail road. In regard to this enterprise we clip the following from, a Philadelphia pa per of a recent date : Tho colored men mean business in the South by building railroads, and have commenced one with General T. Morris Chester as president, a colored man. who is a Pennsylvanian by birth. Ttc road in question is the Wilming ton. Wrightsyille & Onslow Railroad, and as described by the president is a straight line from Wilmington to Jack sonville, a distance ot sixty-lour miles. From Wilmington to Wrightsville, on the sea coast, a distance of eight miles, will be built first; the latter point is a great summer resort. It is contempla ted to extend the road to- Washington, a distance of about eighty miles from Jacksonville, where it will connect with a road now being built by the Pennsylvania Company, thus giv ing a direct route from New York to Wilmington and Florida. The road will run through a very rich couniry, and tho freights of tui pentiuc. cotton, corn, fish, and the best oysters in the country, and other pro ducts it is expected will insure tine dividends The presideut of the road. General Cfiester. is a native of Harris bunr. Pa., who was educated at Avery College. Allegheny City, thirty years ago. He is a member of the English bar. and has traveled all over Europe in the interests ol the frcedmcn. While in Europe be was presented to the late Czar ot Russia, at the court ot Sweden and of England. Ho is very sanguine of the buccess of the road, and id re ceiving subscriptions lor it- Governor Pattison and Treasurer Livsey's names are on the books as subscribers. The following resolution was presented at the colored ixmveniion yesterday and pascJ unanimously: Kestlvcd, 'J hat the const ructiou of ihu Wilmington.

' Mary Clariday, colored, who Jives on Walnut, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, made an assault this morning on Mary Bradley, also colored, with an axe, and also assaulted with the same weapon an oTd colored woman whose name we, did not learn. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Mag and placed in the hands, of Officer Bryant, who in attempting to serve it was also attacked. She was arrested, however, and taken betore Justice Hill, who re- j quired a bond oi 400 tor ner appear ance at tho nest term 'of the Crimina1 Court, in default ot which she was committed. ' She is the mother of Re becca Clariday, the youthful pickpock et thief, and at about the time of her arrest officers Strode and Whitney, armed with a search warrant, searched her premises and found a large amount of goods and considerable money, which was undoubtedly stolen by her self and daughter. The latter is also in jail awaiting m examination npon the charge of pocket-picking. Interesting Letter from Col. Green. The following letter, from Hon. Wharton J. Green, written in response to a letter from a gentleman in this city, relative to certain public mat ters and suggesting his meeting with his friends for consultation, relative to a renomination for Congress, was shown us and we obtained permission to publish it. DeakSik: Replying to your letter, I have the pleasure to state that it is pretty generally conceded that ,,my 'fruit bill" will constitute the nucleus upon which repeal or moditicatioa or the Internal Revenue law will hinge. The friends of the measure will only propose to repeal the tax on fruit bran dy and tobacco. This done, and we materially diminish the number of yellow-legged grasshoppers in pur State. The bill will be brought forward at an early date. I agree with you that the fate of the Tariff bill gave us a black eye for the time; but -I trust that this bill will prove a healing poultice. X am grateful to hear from you that my cfloTts have an appreciation by my friends at home. While making no nretension to genius, parliamentary experience or legal lore, I nevertheless think that I can claim, without an noyance, the merit of zeal and close aDDlication to the duties ot my position since my induction into Congress. Up tit the lime, some iour weeks since, of my nccct-sitated absence on account or my mothei's latal iilncbs and subsequent obsequies, not a letti r was rcceivi ti that was not ausweicu, uor a request preferred by any ot my constituents that was not attended to. to the best of my ability. ! 1 leave it tho-c who sent me ncre to say wnclner my labors in ineir dc- balf have had results. It they wish rue to omtiuue I am willing to serve; if they wiih me to leave, 1 am ready to go. All that I demand is that f air play .. . . i - : I may prcsioe wnen lue uccishju is maue. And of this I caunot doubt, both on account of the high character of those who would not be averse to taking my place, and of the good sense, and sense of justice f those upon whom the decision will involve. The nroDcr discharge ol my duty to my pcop'c wiU preclude my taking an active pan in the preliminary canvass, prior to the convention. ' My record and their indulgence must plead for mc. From tho caoio' above assigned I have fallen behind in my correspond ence. but I hop to catch up daring the coming week. Yours. &c.t I Wi J. Geeex.
