      officers on board on that day . I overheard a council among the seamen whether th . ey-. -wo . uld not chair her round , the decks , which one old fellow said might easily be done , if they could only get her to " close reef her - crinoline . " The seamen and the soldiers have leave to go into the town , but the officers-are very wisely doing all in their power to induce them to make their ships and their barracks their home . A quantity of holly and mistletoe " was brought out in the Pera , and has decorated the shop of the Gunter of Malta , and great has been the demand upon him for a little bit of his

      treasure . Tho se who could not get mistletoe , have , ¦ without hesitation , christened some other green plant by that name for the nonce . Her Majesty has also sent to her sailor son a good supply of mincemeat from Windsor Castle , and I saw a gentleman taking some of this as a great prize to his Maltese wife . Bands are perambulating the streets , every second tune being " God save the Queen , " and her . health will be drunk over and over again by her soldiers and her sailors at Malta this Christmas . The soldiers of the 23 rd give a ball on the 26 th in honour of their new colours . The demand for the "Ballroom Guide "has no-nr for the time quite superseded

      that for the Drill book . A Fratjdttleijt ITbench Stockbroker . •—The trial of M . Giblain , agent de change , on a charge of falsifying public documents , creates great interest in Paris . The accused was charged in the indictment with having been in receipt of about < £ 6 , O 0 O a year , but , not being satisfied with that amount , with having had recourse to all kinds of manoeuvres to increase his gains . He was accused of deceiving his clients as to the operations he managed for them , and of keeping systematically a set of false books or ||

      entries . In April , 1857 , he paid the sum oi 27 , 000 odd francs to escape a criminal prosecution threatened \ by some clients of Amiens ; and > about the same tinie , the Earl of Gal way ceased to be a partner in Griblain ' s agency , and demanded the immediate reimbursement Of half a million of francs which , he put into the concern . The instances of trickery are almost endless . The official examiner of the books of Giblatn asserted that between August , 1855 , and July , 1858 , the accused had reaped 320 , OOOf . by the use of fictitious names . The trial is not yet

      completed . ; The Tokos . —We understand tfiat Mr . Jobson , for- ^ merly surgeon-dentist to her Majesty and the late King WiBtam IV ., who has recently returned from a lengthenM tour inAmerica , has discovered this celebrated Indian remedy , the long sought for antidote to the bite of the Cobra di Capello and other deadly 6 nakes . It s identical , we believe , -with the snake-stone recorded by Sir James Tennent iu his "Travels in Ceylon , " and possesses restorative or sustaining powers of the highest description . Combined with our ordinary medicines , it intensifies them in a wonderful -degree , and is almost a sovereign specific for all affections of the chest , digestive organs , muscles , and impurities of the skin , gout , rheumatism , &c For details , however , we must refer to himself at the New York Hotel , Leicester-street , Leicester-square , where he is at present to be found .
