In this case a bill bad been flied to set asides convey ance made by Mr. White, the testator in the cause, to the defendant o.ihy, on the ground that tiahy was at the time of the conveyance acting as attorney for White, and that he was in embarrassed circumstances, and alleging fraud generally. The defendants by their pica stated that the testator had by his will confirmed the conveyance : The court below allowed the plea, and against that decision the present appeal was brought. Sir W V. Wood and Mr. Cotterill, for the plaintiff, con tended that the plea was no answer to the bill, inasmuch u the plaintiff had the same equity to set aside the conveyance although it was confirmed by the will, because the cootie- Maio& wan rustic by the teatator in ignorance. Mr. Bethi mid Mr. Prior, for the defendants, were not called on. - _ . The Lord Chancellor said he was surprised that the point had ever been raised, for the elate sauna point had beet. already decid,d. The testator in this ease had by his will stated that he understood that those claiming under him intended to dispute the conveyance, and therefore he both devised the cotta and confirmed the conveyance. It was contended that the interest of the testator was a mere right of entry, and that he could not devise it; bat the whole legal interest had passed out of the testator by his convey ance, and a hat remained to him was no right of entry, but he sti I reserved the same equitable estete provided he could impeach the conveyance, ant there WWI no question that he had the power to devise the equitable estate, and he had done so. The appeal was dismissed, but without costs. ortuos Pla Coeur Ttapaa Ave Va. Junin WIWI, WAS HAT V. WILLOUGHBY. This was a petition filed by the official managers of the North of England Joint Stork Banking Company, and prayed that an order might be made giving them, sa against the estate of the tauten. Thome/ Merriam, the rights of specialty creditors and not simple contract creditors, u found by the Master's report. The case came before the court in August last, when the Vice-Chancellor said the "ti on ins...teed • legal right, and all he could do would be to direct an action to be brought by the banking com pany ; but that the petition might stand over and be heard, with the es.istance of a common law judge, under the pro visions of 14 red 1.5 Vie. e. 83, see. 8. The question now came on again before the court as above constituted. Mr. Holt and Mr. Prior appear d fur the official ma nagers. The testator, Thomas Ilereison, was not an ori ginal shareholder in the company, but in August, 1848, bad purchased 20 shares, and had executed a deed of t ler in respect of d.f them. Ile afterwards purchased mere shares, making his whole number up to 173 shares. It was the practice of the company, as appeared by the pe tition, when a person first became a shareholder, to require the execution of a deed of transfer fur a small number of the share., and not to require any further deed lobe signed, and accordingly no other deed, except that with respect to the fire shares, was ever executed by the testa tor It was, however, now contended that under the terms of that deed, and the deed of settlement of the 4881,1181, the shareholder was in the same position u if baled sae rated • deed of transfer in rennet of the wade Mikes of bit shares.

Mr. Atherton and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff. It appeared that iu Febrnary, 1851, the plaintiff equaired with the def. Want to go in the John Knoz, as steward, to f;eelong. in Au.!r•iia. When they arrived there, mot of the mew deserted to go to the diggings. After hating ob ' wined a fresh crew, the vessel returued to Ragland. On the way back a quarrel and midis took place between the plaintiff sad the mate of the ship, Pickard. Ou a subs*• eequent day the plaintiff was humming a tune neon the deck. The captain ordered the plaintiff to desist from making that noise, whereupon be left off and went below. Notwithstanding this prompt obedience however the cap tain and mate followed him, seised him by the hair, struck and kicked him, and beat him with a rope's end. After wards he was put in irons and upon a short allowance of eating and drinking. There were some subsequent assaults of which complaint was made. The plaintiff in his crosacsamination denied that he was habitually drunk, or that he was insolent and dirty. Some of the crew were called to corroborate the plaintirs evi dence. Mr. Watson then addressed the jury for the defendant, urging that the plaintiff had misconducted himself grossly, and contending that no greeter severity had been used then what was neee-nary to enforce due discipline on board. The evidence adduced on 'what.' of the defendant showed that the plaintiff hail been very often in a state of intoxica tion ; that in an adjoining cabin to the one set apart for him a barrel of rum, which ought not to have been there was found, to which it sass awned that the steward ha d evi deatly bad access; that on the occasion to which referee, had bees made, although Carnaghan went below whes Ihs got there, he was greedy insolent ; that afterwards he am on deck end violently atrack at the captain ; that on IMO occasion he had threatened the mate with a knife in hie hand ; and that the ship's crew, obtained in Australia.leglas of the very lowest grade, it was necessary strictly to mei& tain discipline onboard the vessel. Mr. Atherton replied. Lord Campbell then summed up, going over the material pointa of the evidence. There was, no doubt, gteat contra diction between the accounts given by the witnesses on the one side, end the statements of the parties called on the other. There, however, could be little question but that the defendant had imprisoned the plaintiff. The question was whether the justification set up by the former was suf ficient. The jury retired to consider their verdict. After about an hour's absence they entered the court, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 401. by as arms' Jests,. rArATANNI O.

Wittiest replied "N..; Mr. Armstrong baptised it at a protestant church, which she belonged to." The defendant then said she bad sold her soal to the devil, and he snuck her three times near the left ear with his umbrella. He appeared very angry, end asked her wht they soy ladies bad been there. Mrs. Lieetien told him there had, when he asked whether they brought anything, end on being told they bad sent Nees Dread and coals he said it was nut for her good. Witness was badly off at the time, and required nourishment. The delendant said if any one gave her anything she was to receive it, and thank them for it, but she was not to play as regard to them as they were bad people. He struck her three times, and cursed her In Irish. Ile hurt her v much at the time, and she cried out for mercy. Witness was weak at the time, having only been recently confined. After he struck her he told Mrs. Harrington, the landlady, to turn the devils out. Her bed was taken away from her, and she and her child were com pelled to sleep on the hare floor that night. Mr. kohineon—Did the defendant leave you anything ? Couiplainant—He left me a shilling and a good beating. (Laughter.) Mr. Donovan, when he called upon me, re buked me because I had changed my religion. I wee • catholic before I was married, but now I am a protestant, and Mr. Donovan knows it. Mr. Robinson—Did Dr. Armstrong over call on you ? Complainant—No, he did not. My husband called him in. Mr. Donovan struck me hard with his umbrella, and told me to go to the seventeen devils. Mr. Woollett addressed the jury at some length, and milled Mrs. Harrington, Mn. Winter, and Mrs. Geehan who lived in the house, and were present ; but their evi dence confirmed complainant's as to the assault, and her being turned out of bed at the defendant's direction. The jury, after consulting a few moments, returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Robinson said that his clients had no wish to press for any severe punishment. The chairman (Mr. Puckle) said it gove him great pain to pan sentence on a person like the defendant, but the court, as well as the jury, were satisfied that an aggravated usault had been committed on a poor and weak woman. It was, in fact, an act of religious persecution and domin, er ing which could not be tolerated in this country, and had it not been fur the recommendation of the learned counsel for the prosecution, he should have committed him to prison with hard labour; but, under all circumstances, he should line him 61. for the assault. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL.

Richard Edwards sworn—l am 14 years of age, and wu in the employ of Mr. Matthews, a merchant, of 2:d, Crutchedfnars, op to four or live menthe ago. la March lest, %bile carrying out some cigars, I met the prisoner's boy, who asked me if I could get any cigars, end, if so, to bring them to Mr. Wainwright, and his master would buy them of me. I afterwards took a bundle to the shop of the prisoner, who bought them, and directed his boy to give me ls. lid., the price he war to pay fur the cigars. The prisoner then asked me to bring him a lot more. There was nearly 11b. in each bundle, which were worth 28s. per lb. Between the month of March and the following June I took between 60 and 60 bundles of cigars to the prisoner's shop, some of which were purchased and paid for by the prisoner, some by his wife, and others by the boy. Some were bought in the shop, but these purchased by the pri soner's wife were generally taken up stairs t the kitchen. I generally received from Is. to Is. 61 per bundle. On last Friday week I received a bundle from my muter, with in structions to °impose of them in the same manner that I had done with the GO bundles which I have spoken of. I took it to the shop belonging to the prisoner, but not finding him in I went up stairs, and found his wife in the kitchen. I delivered the cigars to her, and she gave me 21. When I came down I met my father and Mr. Matthews outside the sh p, and gave the latter the money I had just received. We all returned to the shop, and proceeded up stairs, where we found the cigars, and Mr. Matthews having marked the paper they were in, they were folded up and paled, and we marked the paper again with our signatures. Mr. Matthews then marked the 2s. I had received of the prisoner's wife. At the station house, on Friday night, the prisoner denied having re ceived the 60 bundles of cigars, but admitted he had had the bundle now produced. There are about 100 cigars in every bundle. My master, on discovering that the cig►rs were gone, accused me, and said he would not prosecute me if 1 would tell him how I had disposed of the cigars, and to whom I had sold them. Mr. Emanuel Matthews, a foreigner, errrving on busi• ness as a merchant at Crutchedfriats, said— I did not miss the cigars till a few days ago, and, suspecting the last wit. nose, I tent for him, but he denied it, until I promised to forgive him if he would tell the truth. He then told me he had taken them to Mr. Wainwright's shop, and, in order to test the accuracy of the lad's statement, I marked a pled of cigars, and directed him to take them, in the same manner he had done the others, to the prisoner's shop. Ile did so, and I afterwards saw them in the kitchen of the prisoner's house. _ _ Mr. Sydney, for the prisoner, contended that the case of alleged stealing had broken down, as it was satisfactorily shown that the cigars produced had been given to the boy by the prosecutor. Mr. Alderman Copeland reminded Mr. Sydney that it was the mining 60 bundles that the prisoner was charged with receiving, and there was no evidence of their having been given to the boy. He said he felt it his duty to re- mend this case. The fast of the prisoner having given 2s. for • bundle of cigars worth 12 times that sum way sufficient to induce him to put thisicase into a course for further in vestigation. He looked upon the case in a very carious light, and he could not part with the prisoner without receiving bail of a must substantial character. If the prisoner had lived 25 years in the same neighbourhood, he could have no difficulty in procuring two sureties of 601. each, which, with his own recognisance of 1001., would be sufficient. In default of procuring bail, the prisoner wee eommitto te Newgate. 110 W-STREET. The charge against William Aria, for falsely registering the death oC Maus Tees, whom be bad represcated u his wife, was appointed for further bearing at 11 o'clock, having been remanded from the previous S..turtlay. His worship was informed, however, that owing to the sugges tions made by the court at the last examination, and the conduct of Tees (the husband) throughout the matter, the Attorney General had advised the withdrawal of the prose cution. The summons was accordingly dismissed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Wilson and Catherine Pictford were brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing a quantity of wine and spirits, the property of Mr. Rowland Houle, proprietor of Morland's Hotel, 23, Dettn.street, Soho. Mr. Moule said the female prisoner had been in his ser vice about four 'months, and the male prisoner only a week. At 7 o'clock the previous evening witness went into a vault adjoining the kitchen, which led to his wine-cellar. There was a box in the vault, which witness happened to look into, and finding a bottle of brandy stowed away among the Mop in it, he made a further search, and found a quantity of cheroots and tobacco hidden in the same plane. He called the two prisoners, and, on being ques tioned, both of them denied all knowledge of the property. Witness told them he should wish to search their boxes. They did not object, and witness went with them into their rooms, and looked Ent into the male prisoner's box and found nothing. While examining Wilson's box, the female prisoner passed into her room, and he distinctly saw her take a bottle from her box and place it beneath her bed. Witness took the bottle from its hiding place, and found it contained port wine. Witness also found a bottle of sherry, and then sent for a policgconstable. At the station•house the female prisoner said she ought not to be blamed for other people's faults, for the male prisoner had a false key, and could get into tl.e bar whenever he pleased. Witness then caused the male prisoner to be taken into cue tody. At first the prisoner said he knew nothing about the false key ; afterwards he admitted having had such a key, bat that he had thrown it away. The prisoner also admitted having taken the things found in the metal box out of the bar ; he said it was has first offence, and hoped he should be forgiven. A search for the key was made in Wardour.street, and it was found, when tried, it opened the lock of the bar. Police-constable Shipman corroborated the above evi dence, The prisoner Wilson said he knew nothing about the wine. Pickford said she found the wine in the dust-hole. Both were fully committed. WORSHIP-STREET. Tomas Elliott,a.awii,;4.;:liZrier, living in Old Niched street, Bethnal-green, wee brought up on remand, charged with a murderous assault upon his wife, whereby she hod sustained such serious injuries that she had been ever since an inmate of the London Hospital. The prisoner was given into custody by one of his lodgers, a man named John llama, who maid that at a late hour on Friday . se'nnight he was roused from sleep by a violent uprur in the , prisoner's room, accompanied by toad scream of Murder ' from his wife, which were succeeded by the sound of heavy blows, and the moat savage threats and insprecittions on the par. of the prisoner. Witness in stantly hastened down stairs, end, on entering their room, observed the prisoner in the act col dragging hie wife across the floor, and beating her in an unmerciful manner about the bead end face. The poor woman, who appeared completely exhausted, presented a shocking appearance, being covered with blood, which wee streaming copiously from her nose, mouth, and ears ; and, before witness had time to interfere, the prisoner finally struck her a terrible blow on the face, which stretched her senseless on the floor. With the assistance of several of the neighbeun, who had been attracted by the disturbance, witness succeeded, after a violent resistance, in securing the prisoner until they . oh. tabled the usistamm of a pollinates', when he was given into custody. A married woman named Fount% residing next door to the prisoner, and who bad also been alarmed by the ago nised exclamations of his wife, fully corroborated the fore going evidence, and added that but for the timely interposi tion of the last witness, she felt satisfied that he would have carried oat his threats, and murdered her on the spot. On being closely pressed by the magistrate, the poor woman admitted that the sole reason for his attack upon her was in consequence of her inability to supply him with money which he demanded from her, and added, in a de• pin eatery manner, that although he was in the (request habit of ill-using her, when he happened to he intoxicated, ke was • good husband in his sober moments, and mho did amt wish him to be punished. Leon) SUL/Milt. Sit A. Cockburnltithailttiiis case he appeared for the defendant, who was charged with being guilty of a *erica, 'dander. On the part of the defendant hr had to state that he had not the slightest intention of speaking the words eomplained of in any offensive sense. There had been disputes lo.tween the parties on family matters, and great irritation had arises. The difference was quite of a family nature, and without doubt the defendant bad spoken with more heat than was necessary. The learned gentle man trusted the explanation ho then made would be consi dered sufficient and satisfactory. The Attorney-General (with whom was Serjeaut Wil bins) said the plaintiff would not have felt it necessary to commence proceedings had it not been that the defendant was a gentleman of considerable influence in the Greek nation, and that anything stated by him was calculated to make a deep impression. The explanation of his learned friend was perfectly satisfactory, and he (the Attorney- General) trusted it would lead to a reconciliation between the parties, who were formerly intimate friend,. Lard Campbell said that the plaintiff and defendant had acted very wiwel:, in settling this matter. A juror was then withdrawn. COURT OF COMMON PLEAB.—SATCRDAT.

A Woxim Ron Ovga. _ This was an aetTontoreentereiazaggee for injuries sin tained by Mrs. Staab*ll in coneequenee of being run over by a cart belonging to the defendants ; the pleas were that the defendants were not guilty and that the cart was I not theirs._ . . . Mr. Sarjeant BON and Kr. Peteradorer appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. fleijaant nee and another learned bar rister were for the deteadents. . . . . The plaintiffs in thin ease are people in humble circuit stanees, the busbend Lein( an iron bedstead maker and the wife a child's shoemaker, and the defendants were iron monnen, in Welbeck- st reet, Cavendish-squase. About nine o'clock en the evening of the Bth September last, Mrs. Mitchell went out with her daughter, to purchase some bison in Tottenhatat•court-road, and was about emceeing the . red Chafton-street en her way home, when shtiwas knocked down by the defendants' cart, which passed over her 'eels. The consequence was that she was seriously in jured, and was coatined to her bed for a month. Lp to the present time she had continued unable to work at her business, and the doctor thought she would never the. roughly recover. Under these eiretunstanees, Mrs. Mit chell naked for damages for the injuries dons to her, and her husband claimed oompensation for ices of her ser vices, &e. According to the plaintiffs' case, the accident was caused wholly by the negligence of the defendants' servant, who was driving this cart—which was a large hooded one—very tat; and, in fact, one of the witnesses said that it was " lying along" and " going like an engine." The defendants' ease was that their servant was driving 0•17 three or four miles an hour when Mrs. Mitchell "few" rapidly into the toed, tan against the cart, and thus caused the accident. Another ground of defence was, that the defendants' servant was sot oat at the time of the accident upon their business, but having done his day's work and taken the cart home to Welb ck-street, he hed afterwards taken a person for a ride home, and in return ing from this journey the accident happened. This being so, it was contended that the defendants were not liable. The Chief Justice left the question of negligence to the jury, and told them if they found for the plaintiffs, to say what part of the damages was to be applied to each of them reapectively. The jury found for the plaintiffs—dm.

Armor. hasolvent,;MT - t;al ieM; - ------- ThislLla Mason-,tees Old Kent-road, applied to be discharged from iforeemonge Lae Gaol. Mr. Ernest Reed opposed for the detaining creditor, Jas. , 1 Owyer, a eowkeeper. Mr. Sargocd supported. An action was brought against the insolvent by Owyer, a near neighbour, for a wilful trespass. The object of the action was to try a " right of way," which the insolvent alleged he had exercised for 30 years. Owyer had put up a fame, which the insolvent knocked down, as it interfered with his business, and the parties went to law. A verdict was given foe 61. damages, and the costs were taxed at 2181. 19.. Beaides the costs so incurred by the plaintiff, the laselvent had been put to considerable expense in de. the action. He had paid his attorney 301., given Mos de to collect to %boat the same sum, and now owed 101. to his attorney en account of the action. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said it was • " blessed action." It was certainly one of the most costly adieus he had ever beard of. It appeared that "ten pleas" had been pleaded to the action in which the triune(' of soma adjoining pro perty were interested, and it was expected that they would pay the costs of the' action. Two points were urged in op position, namely, a vexatious defence and incurring a large debt fur costs when he had no reeeionable expectation of payment. He held that there could be no vexatious defence, as the action was not for a " debt." His Honour was of opi ion that expensive as the action had been, the insolvent bed shown his bona fides, as he had spent all he possessed to try the quosta ; he was, therefore, entitled to his dis charge, and be hoped Gwyes would not have to pay the large coots. The insolvent was discharged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT This wart renmes its sittings this meriting. Although wily Iftees days ban elapsed sine the adjournment of the last seesien, the business is very heavy, and likely to occupy the attention of the court until the end of the week. There are three charges of murder to be disposed of. two of which were postponed at the last session, that of Henry Honey, for the murder of his wife by stabbing her, and Amelia Elizabeth Burt for the murder of her child by throwing it into the 'I hames.

Daniel O'Donovan, a priest, was indicted for committing ea wank on Mary Murphy. Complainaat said elte was the wife of Michsel Murphy, a labourer.

MA ItKETS. COTTON.—Livxuroox, Dge. 11.—The sales of cotton toda y are estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales, and com prise 4OO Pernambuco and hluanham, Sid. to cla.• 120 Ilahis,old. ; Egyptian 6d. to 104.; 10.1 Surat, a id. to 31d. The market closes heavily. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of ell kinds are the same. blericastrrnit, Dec. 11.—Our market wears a rather healthy appearance, apart from the fluctuation of priers caused by a decline in the raw material, end the reason we have had a r much less doing for this month past is clearly traceable to this cause. buyers are not generatly giving out large contract", though we have not hod an absence of them entirely this week, hut they are picking up rather large quantities, as a whole, for the completion of orders which the reduction of prices has placed within the limits at which such orders were assigned to them. Many of the orders placed six week" ago have still some time to run ; and thus, with the purchases for shipment, the contracts still on hand, and the purchases by the large wholcuele houses for assortments of stocks, we have very little accu mulation of goods in lint hands. Prices are still gradually declining. The last "deices from the United States show • great increase of receipts from the cotton districts, as com pared with the preceding year. Of the now crop since September, 6.14,000 bales had come in, agaiust 410,000 to the same time last year ; whilst in the last week of these "deices the receipts Mad been 108,000 bales, against 48,000 in the corresponding week of last year. Holders of cotton at Liverpool have necessarily shown great uneasi ness under these circumstance', and American descriptions have fallen this week Id. to id. per lb. This prevents any steadying of our own market, and induces buyers to hold off more than might be expected ; for yarns can now be had very reasonable, say id. to Id. lower than in October in many cases. lteeltd yarns suit:Oils to home and continental use an id. lower, and extreme fluctuations in some descrip tions of twist give the buyer an advantage of fully Id. per lb. In cloths there are some new and handsome designs from the printers to meet the spring trade, and no sue looks upon the present quietness in the market as likely to be of any continuance beyond the settling down of prices in cotton, and the accommodation of those in manufactures to them. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Leans, DEC. IL—The markets have not shown any change of importance to-day ; about the usual amount of business has been done. There have been several inquiries thi, week for cloths of a good cha racter in true wool blacks, which class of goods is in fair de mand at present, met by only a moderate supply. There has Leen some improvement in the business of the warehouse'. Several buyers from Scotland, London, sad elsewhere have been in the town, this week, which has caused a better demand for the home trade; this together with part activity in the American and Canada trade has given a better tone to the State of business In the ware houses this week. HARDWARE. BIRMINOIIAM, Dye 11.—It is said that at the present time there is a larger amount of business being done her( than at say former period ; we have reason to believe there is good inundation for that statement, the evidence around us iu favour of it being so strongly corroborative. There is, however, some drawback to be noticed to this very general prosperity—we refer to the terms upon which the business is being done ; in this particular the reports are not °ignite so favourable &character, for we arc told that in very many branches the °Min are being executed at smaller indite than ever they were; in some instances they are cut down to a fraction. This is attributable more to the high price of all metals than to excess of competition, for although we have seen a considerable number of circulars from manufacturers in many different branches, all of them announcing an advance in the price of their goods, that advance is in few instances equal to the rise which has taken place in the raw material itself. Wo are referring now to the heavy description of goods, in which the cost of production is unimportant as compared with the cost of the material. Neither have the mandfactunre engaged in those trades (lamps and chandeliers for instance) where the workmanship forms the chief item in the cost, for in these branches prices are very rarely altered to suit the varying price of metals, they have not changed with the late advances, the producers of this class of goods have consequently sustained considerable injury from the cause referred to. But notwithstanding these consideration., there can he no doubt of the fact that the manufacturing interest of this town is in a healthy and a prosperous condition. The shipments of goods from the town and district during the last few months have been beyond all precedent, and we know that there are still very large foreign orders in hand ; these, with the steady im provement in the home trade which is observable all over the country, will carry the manufacturers in many trades to the middle, in some instances to the end, of January. In a very important branch—the general brass-foundry trade—and a kindred one, the brass and iron bed stead manufacture, we are enured that the orders are very large, as indeed they are in the electro-plate manufacture, and at the foundries. Some branches of the gun trade is very brisk ; the gun furniture makers are all busy, the contractor for the Board of Ordnance having considerable orders on hand from that quarter for the brass work fur muskets and other suet appendages. The japan trade is thriving; meat of the fancy trades are busy, which is a very unusual thing at this time of the year, the gold chain makers having heave r order. in the houses than can be executed for some weeks Some very large consignments of our goods have been made to the Australian gold region,. We have been informed, too, of many merchants and manufacturers who have turned their attention to, and have an anxious eye on, this colony, which bids fair to open so floe a market for our manufactures for the next half score years at least; and we have reason to believe that still heavier consignments thither from this town will be made early in the spring. Beyond the drawbacks above referred to, and some murmurs on the subject of the high and in. creasing price of coal, we never remember to have heard less complaining on the part of the manufacturer,. It is cheering, too, to record that in so vast a community as ours there is scarcely an artisan unemployed. As regards the distrist, matters remain in pretty much the condition lest reported. We see assured that the orders for iron have not relaxed; that, to say nothing of foreigner., the roma factarers at home are still ordering largely, and it seems tolerably certain that they have not, taken as a whole an thing approaching to large stocks no hand. The last Board of Trade returns inform us that the quantity of iron exported during the month of October exceeded that of last year by no less than 12,211 tone; at this moment the foreign orders are immense, and the late advisee of 40s. on bars will it is said be easily maintained. If no further advance is attempted—well; to do so would probably have the effect of bringing an additional number of persons into the trade, and greatly peril its prosperity at no very die tent day. As far as the pre.ent is concerned, no more complete evidence could be afforded of the prosperity of the trade than by the following extract from a circular sent out by a large house at Stourbridge to one of its customers. It is dated the first of the present month, and says—" We beg to inform you that our orders now on the books will carry us so far into our next quer er's make that we shall be unable to accept any more for execution this quarter; all further orders with which you may favour us during the remainder of the present quarter must therefore be for nest quarter's delivery, and subject to next quarter-day's price." The disputes between the colliers and their employers re mains unsettled ; in some of the pits coal-getting has been impeded by the inundations, and the price of the commodity is heightened considerably thereby. Again during the week coal has come into the district from Notting hamshire and Leicestershire. but even from that quarter the supply is checked by the inability of the Midland Railway Company to convey it in sufficient quantities ; for, if we are correctly informed, there are many thousanda of tons at Staveley and the neighbourhood waiting to be conveyed into Staffordshire so soon as the railway company can find the means to do so. An error in last week's report is im portant enough to be corrected here : reference was made to the make of pens at Mr. Gillett's works during the pro. sent year, and (probably, from some illegibility in the manuscript) the printer made the number " tour " hundred instead of " two" hundred millions. CORN.—CAMBUIMAII, Dec.ll.—A rod supply of Wheat and Barley at to-day's market, whic met a free male at from le. to 2s. advance upon Wheat.

Oats and oat meal, at the same time, were more sought after, and also brought higher prima Into Liverpool and lemmata tole rably fair supplies of oats and oatmeal have been r. ceived from Ireland. From abroad the imports of wheat and flour are on a liberal scale, and moderate of beans and Indian corn. Our market this morning was less active than of late, but there was no abatement of firmness on the part of sellers; on the contrary, a rut ther advance in prices was in some instances demanded, and we raise our quotations 31. to 4d. per 70Ibe. on wheat, 2a. per sack on flour, Id. per 4511ie. nn oats, and le. per load on enmesh Nawcarria.urort-Terrs, Dec. 11.—The trade during the past week has continued on the ascendant, and a goad Molecule has been done iu Wheat and Flour, the farmer at au advance of lolly la per qr., and the latter Is. to 2s. per sack; 535. has been got fur three-year-old Stralsund red, 62.. for prime old Nornak, and 545. for choice Scotch white, whilst for a small quantity of superior Dantsie, the " fancy price "of 58s. per qr. has been realised.

With the excep tion of Oats, for whicn a speculative demand has 'run, all other artielem have remained much as previously n nett. At our market this murniug we had a large show of Wheat from the growers, but from the coast the arrivals were trilling. Our farmers commenced by asking most extra vagant prices, which had the effect of checking business, but on their moderating their pretensions, a clearance was soon effected, at en advance of fully 2a. per qr., the best farmers' red touching 525. to .53s weighing uatura:ly Galbs., whereas select white mode as high as 565. per qr.

Flour trade, f.0.b., was, at ti e commencement of the market, firm, ar as. per sack advance, but towards the close it was difficult to quit. Barley was a good supply, demand scarcely so good ; no change in price. Grinding descriptions were saleable, at full prices. Beans were In demand, at full prices.

In the course of sump inquiries made by certain gentlemen, ono of whom was Phifessor Owen, a slaughterman was questioned who wu, also u bird-tench r. Ile lied lived in Bear-yard, near Clare-market, esposed to the combined I gnosis from • slaughierhuuse and a tripe factory. Ile particu larly noted, as having a fatal influence on the birds, the stench raised by boiling down the tat from the tripe offal. Ile said, " You may hang the cogs out of the garret window in any house round Bear yard, and if it be a fresh bird it will be dead in a week.'' lie had I reviously lived, for • time, in the same neighbourhood, in a room over the Portugal-street burial ground. That place wee equally fatal to his birds. He hod removed to Vere-aircet, Clare-market, beyond the smells from three two places, and he was able to keep hie birds. In town, however, the ordinary birds did not usually ►ive more than eighteen months ; in cages in the country, they would live nine years or more, on the same food. When he particularly wished to preserve a pet bird, he sent it now and then into the country for • change of Mr.—Diatom's "Household Words."
