Postmaster-Jneral. Extraordinary Fracas—An event reported to have lately occurred which is making no small sensation in the Highlands, within a hundred miles of the new hne of railway from Perth to Inverness One of the festive gatherings such as are common at this season of the year, and wfcich are alike attended and enjoyed by the aristocracy and democracy of a country side, had passed off with great spirit, and was very appropriately wound up with a ball. At this ball-l as the phrase is-all the beauty and fashion of the district might be seen, and it was especially crae«j by the presence of a noble marquis, the heir to a stM nobler title, as well as a vast estate. There was also present a worthy baronet, who, as the evenine wor* on, proceeded to escort his lady from the ball-room to her carriage. The passage was somewhat crowded and in the crowd was the noble marquis. The hon baronet finding egress difficult requested the crowd to make way for Eis lady, which it is said they S promptly did. with the exception of his future {n-aoe who, blocking up the passage, the baronet pushed hS aside, for which he was repaid by a volley of abusive epithets, altogether unfit to be heard by ears DolitL or printed in the columns 0/ a respectable paper Sir G-7I p?^vn? Rttent, ionafc the moment to the abuse with which he was thus assailed, but having seen hS lady to the carnage, returned and asked the marquis what he meant by such language. Being treated in reply to a repetition of the same style ofabuaTsS G- at once gave it to him «• right and left » com pletely flooring the scion of a nobfe house, and'informmg him that he would be ready to meet hi n anywhere.else, and answer for what he had done. iTL sud that the duchess is much grieved at the affai? not that the marquis was punished, but that he should so far have forgotten the bearing of a gentleman wIX the duke says "it served him right and' wi perhaps, teach him better manners."—!)wl AdChampionship of the Thames.-A writer in to Starting Life says.—«lt is a well known Let that the champion is,bound to accept all challenges to row on that river to which he claims the proud title of champion. In the pugilisti.c and pedestrian championship, a challenge is accepted, and the match made immediately, with but little controversy, if any But why is.it?. They have a purpose in W 1 trophy to maintain, which will become their absolute property, if held for a stipulated time. But, bear in mind, m the rowing championship there is no trophy no prize to maintain; no lasting honor to win but the bare verbal title of champion, and which the present champion has already gallantly won : and like the celebrated Bob Coorabes, should he maini tain bis title for double the time he has, he knows lie must either resien it, or suffer defeat at the hands of younger aspirants. Then, is it any more than reasonable that Chambers should ask for some trifling remuneration to defray the expenses of his journey to, and training in, London ? But there is a remedy for this apparent lukewarmness on the cham pion's part. A committee should be formed in London for the purpose of receiving subscriptions to nurchase a champion's belt or cup {public and private! and the subscription-lists should be left open until i sufficient amount be raised, say £100, which I think would be soon obtained from the many staunch sun* porters of rowing." 3 w*wucn BUP* , Thb Rotal Naval Eeserve now comprise* 13,100 enrolled volunteers.
