TM: METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. The experience of the first week's working of the new railway has been highly metiefactory. The number of Misl=who have travelled to sad fro upon the Ilne has t 226,000. On the ousting day (Saturday, the 1011 number carried was 38,000, on Sunday these were 33, Monday 26,000, Tuesday 21,000, Wednesday 26,000, Thursday 28,000, Friday MOM, and yesterday (Saturday) the pmengers wen not lees than 30,000. On Saturday the trains ran every ten minutes, and were remarkably well Ailed, especially the down trains from the Farringdonotrest station. The underground ructions of the line are to a great extent free from the annoyances usually experienced in railway tunnels. The engine-driven, for their own comfeet's sake, not lees than for that of the pueengers pay great attention to the working of the engines. No peewee suffer more is tunnels from the sulphurous fumes and pro duets et combustion from the furnaces than the drivers and stekere, and when so large s portion of their time is peened underground they are natually very careful in the ant of their Gres, and as far se possible avoid feed. iTl a r AZ with fresh fuel while in the tunnel. In spite, however, of all their precautions, a certain amount of sulphurous vapour will be given off from the femme, and the drivers complak of pine in the heed from working the trains. The tanks below the engines, which are teed is condensers, have been found much too small, and they will require to be replaced by larger cam The steam fret!' the cylinders Muse don* its work, pries into these tanks, whirl, in theory, ought to have a constant supply of I cold water, hat the only time when the water is really cold is at the commencement lot each journey. By the time the trains have passed throegh the lamer or central fennel el the line, the water in the ceedenser is brought to boiling heat, er nearly the same tareperatare that in the boiler. As soon as this dupes of Mat hes been attained, it is neeeseary to open the valves sad let of the steam, for if there were no escape provided, the condensers world be em liable to explode em a boar without safety valves. The steam f• thus often discharged hie the tuna; it rapidly condenses, however, and canner no se ri ous annoy ance. The sulphurous fumes teem the Ire boxes and chimneys are net, however, so easily got rid of. The ex tent of this oopirweetnee• has been, /answer, vary web exaggerated. Among other repute was eon to the effect that several of the porters and involute hid been carried away insensible from the effect of the nexiene vapours. It would be ecemedy cornet to say that there was ne founda tion for the statement, Mums two of the porters were really in a very weak and sinking Ante when they were taken away from the station. The muse, however, was perhaps as much due to exhaustion from long hours of work, sad to the fact that, owing to the presure of traffic, the men had really not been able to leave for their meals, as to what had been very absurdly called the "choke damp" in the tunnel. The Gower-street station, at which the men were stationed, is provided with &awed openings from the gardeus in front of the houses. The ample I remedy of opening these windows has since been adopted, and no inconvenience is now felt et this station. At the Baez-street station the glees has also been removed from the aide apertures which admit light into the Mahar, and the tower at Portland-road he been made to do duty as a ventilating shaft. Prom Ring's-cross to Farringdon-street the engrain an worked on the usual high-pressure system, as, with the exception of the Coppice row tunnel of 800 yards in length, this portion of the line is an open cutting. This short arctic, of tunnel hal one air shaft, and the smoke and steam from the engine produce no very disagreeable effect in that short run. The same system of working at high pressnre is adopted at the Pad dington end of the line between the Blehop'e.roed and the Edgware-road stations. It is only, therefore, between the Edgware-read and Hines-cram in the unbroken length of tunnel that the plan of condensing is adopted, and in run ning opted, this distance, as we have said, the waste steam raises the water to boiling point. Two things are absolutely necessary : to increase considerably the speed of the trains, and enlarge the capacity of the condensers. Both of these' improvement. will be carried out On Saturday the trains ran every ten minutes, and arrangement, will be made next week for th gn i f the whole journey in eighteen minutes, while trains will also be started. Larger condensers are e lite: s ae being provided for the engines. The arrugemente for warble( the thresh treble to and from the Great Western and Midlan - Ball ways at King's-mesa are not yet completed.—Obeereer. THE LOSS OP THE MONITOR. By our latest intelligence from America we have full details of the low of the Monitor. The following amount is from a wirreepoodent of the Ameriant at Fortress Monroe, under date of January 4 : . . In oonversation with several of the feet= and crew of the Monitor, I gather the following narrative of the facts attending the loss of that noble little vessel and so many of her crew : We left Fortress Monroe on Monday, the' 29th of De cember, in tow of the steamer Rhode Island, with the Passaic in tow of the steamer State of Georgia. We pared Cape Henry Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock, with a smooth sea and light wind. The Passaic was • little way ahead. The weather continued fine until 5 o'clock on Tuesday evening, when it commenced to blow from the south-west, with • heavy sea running and making a clean sweep over all. At 9i Cape Hatteras bore NN.W., distant 20 miles. The ph -I*ll increased. The vessel laboured very hearilh the upper hull coming down upon every sea with fearful vio lence. Up to this time the Worthington pampa and bilge injector' were entirely competent to keep the vessel free. At 10 o'clock several heavy seas "truck the vessel in sue cession, when word was sent from the engine-rooms that the water was pinild on the pumps. Orders were then given to start Adams centrifugal pump. capable of throwing $,029 pilau of water per minute. For • while the water sPrto be kept under. i : d short time, however, word was passed from the engine room that the water 1111apin gaining on the pumps, and was at that time up to the ashpita, in • great measure stopping the draft. The water at this time was standing two feet deep on the ward-room floor. All hands were then set to work with every bucket at hand to bal. Water, however, kept gaining upon the pumps until within a foot of the fires in the furnaces. A " Caton" =lns then flashed to cell the attention of the Rhode to our condition. After much delay, consequent upon the heavy sea running, a boat was lowered from the Rhode Island and sent to our assistance. After several triels she rucceeded in getting alongside of us. The Rhode Inland at the same time, in going astern, caught her launch be tween her own aide and our vessel, crushing the boat badly, and bringing her own counter down upon our side. For • time she could not move her engine, getting on • centre. She finally started a-head, and the launch, smashed as she was, succeeded in conveying to the steamer thirty of the crew of the Monitor. After the departure of the launch, those remaining on board worked at the buckets with • will. The gale at this time was raging furiously, the seas making a clean sweep over the top of the turret. The water at this juncture had succeeded in rising up to the grate.bars of the furnace, sad was gradually extmgnithing the firs. The steam in the boilers consequeetly ran down, and the pampa could not be worked for want of sufficient steam. At this time three boats were discovered coming towards the nasal. Word was paned that boats were at hand suffi cient to take all from the vessel. The Monitor was now sinking. Every pump was stopped, and her deck wsa under water. fievma to coming off the turret were swept by the waves to the leeward, and must have penshed ive as . no assistance could be rendered them. The then shoved off from the sinking vessel. Although entreated to come down and get into the several remained standing upon the turret afraid bm t being swept from the deck, stupsded with fear. The boats succeeded in reaching the Rhode Ldand in safety, and all in them got on board. A picked mew with the gallant officer of the Rhode bland, Mr. Brown, then shoved off in the launch to return to the Monitor. The moon, which up to this time had been throwing some light epos the waves, was shut in by dense masses of black clouds. At a quarter to one in the morning the Monitor's light dia appsered beneath the waves. The Rhode Island then started for the spot where the Monitor was seen to go down. Caton signals were constantly kept burning. A strict look-out was kept up on all parts of the vessel to catch a glimpse, if possible, of the roman; boat. At day light nothing was seen on the waves, and with heavy hearts we ran around the spot, as nearly as could be ;edged, where the Monitor had disappeared until late in the afternoon. Several steamers and other vessels were spoken to, to learn. if i ncest le, the fate of the missing boat, but nothing could rd. The ;nrvivon reached Fortran Monroe last evening in the Rhode Island. Nothing whatever was saved except the the offlosrs and crew stood in. The conduct of both apparelo fficers and men of the Monitor on that night was beyond regeoseb. No sign of panto was Tight& Each stood to his poet, confident in his commander, and it was bard to prevail upon the men to get into the boats, each wishing to remain by until the last. The first cutter of the Rhode Island, the boat referred to above, contained William Brown, mentor's mate, and seven of the crew, whose names I have not been able to ascertain. Phave not been heard of up to this time. There is a ty that they may have succeeded in reaching the tor and taking off some more of the crew, and been afterward picked up by some meeting vessel, numbers of which were palming by the next morning. MUTH OF Ma. RICHARD GAMIN THZ SHIP. OWNER. —lt is with regret we ensconce the death of Mr. Richard Groan, the eminent shipowner, of lilackwall, which took place on Saturday afternoon. The deceased had been ailing for some time, and in order that be might be near to his physician he was a few weeks ago removed to hie sister's residence, in Regent's-park. In the early part of last week his illness assumed a more serious gaped, and it was evident that he was fast sinking ; be widually became more exhausted, and died as before stated. He was in his 59th year, and, in connexion with his younger !author, owned the magnificent fleet of ships, upwards of 30, which for so many years have traded between the Thames sad the Fart Indian and Australian ports. He was also an extensive ship-Mulder, and bad oonstructed numerous steam-frigates and other vesarals for the Eng lish, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian navies. In him the Merchant Seamen's Orp h an Asylum, the Dread nought Hospital Ship, and other charities connected with the mercantile marine, as also those in the set eed of the metropolis, have lost a staunch friend. He onatributed to- wards the maintenance of the chapel sad Green's Haiku' Home in the East India-rod, originated by his father, and he the established a free school for chiMr= without ve icito any particular creed. By his benevolence the er Hospital was enabled to extend its usefulness and to relieve a large amount of suffering humanity). He took • most lively interest in the success of the M chant Seamen's Orphan Asylum, of which he was treasurer, and subscribed a munificent sum to the fund for erecting the building at Seareebrook, the foundation stone of which was Lid by the late Prince Consort. He took a prominent part in promoting the orpn • eacion of the Naval Reserve, and we believe that most of the officers and crews of the firm Wren to that branch of the nation's service. He was also chairman of the recently established training school on board the Worcester ship in the Thames. Although not of very strong health boxes active in his Modem habits, and, attended by his manager, Mr. Sells, he would often visit his ships in the adjacent dock twice in the course of the day. On the news of his death retching Poplar, c on Saturday afternoon, the 'hipping in the had their colours hoisted half mast high, and the shops brit g were partially closed, the bells of the churches an tolled during the remainder of the day.

GMAT RANYERN RAILWAY.—A deputation of the direeten el tide company will visit the Tendring Hundred district in Essex on Friday and Saturday, together with the engineer in chief, in order to ascertain which of the two lines to Walton-on-the-Husk entitled to their support. All the parties interested will have interviews with the directors on the occasion. The intended alterations in the train per. 111014 to which allusion was made some time since in the Express, will now, it is officially announced, take effect on the lst of February. The through express train will run on the Colchester route instead of via Cambridge es hitherto. The trains generally are to be accelerated, and in some dis tricts the fares, which have long been very high, are to be reduced. One novel feature in the new arrangements is the introduction of tractile' tickets at 501. each per annum, available over all the lines of the company,- but only to be issued to each gentlemen 8A shall have paid the system for work done in connexion with the movement of goods 2,0001. for the year ending Dee. 31, 1862.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Madanley.) IN RE THE BRITISH PROVIDER LUZ AIRIORARCIR warm WARM ORM. In this case • jury was empanelled to try an issue which had been directed at the hearing, namel , whether the words "On behalf of the British Provident Assurance Soty," which were interlined in • transfer of 200 shams from Danbl Omen to John Sheridan were inserted at the time of its execution, or had been inserted subsequently. Mr. Serjeeot Shee and Mr. Kerslake appeared for the official maosgar ; Mr. &Abeam for the creditors' repre sentative ; . Day and Mr. Phan for Mr. Orpen. Mr. Serjeant Shee, in opening the case to the jury, stated that the question arose out of the proceedings in the wind ing up of the British Provident Assurance Society. Mr. Orpen was • grocer carrying on bushman at Theme, in Oxfordshire. In November, 1856, the office of local secretary or manager to this easurance society for Oxfordshire became vacant, and advertisements were published setting forth the terms on which the society would accept offers from persona desirous of becoming local secretary. The terms generally were that he wee to have • salary of 1001. • year sad 15 per cent, commission on all assurances effected through his agency, but he must become the proprietor of 200 shame, on which he would be entitled to • dividend, but on which he would be liable to the call, which might be made. Mr. Orpen answered the advertisement, and in October, 1856, became the local secretary and manager for Oxfordshire ou those terms, and paid 2001. for the 200 shares. In 1856 and 1867, Mr. Oren was desirous of being relieved from his post, and he and his solicitor wrote several letters to the company, calling on them to relieve him from his post, and the result was that be gave up his office of local manager, and on the 30th of May, 1857, this deed of transfer was executed by him. Under the Joint Stock Companies Act a transfer to any one for the company would be null andvoid, sad would not have the effect of divesting the property in Orpen, and therefore Mr. Orpen would still be liable as • cont ributory under this winding up. The words, "On behalf of the British Provident Life Assurance Society," which ware interlined after the name " John Sheridan," be was prepared to prove were in the tamales at the time of its execution. The contention on behalf of Orpen was that the words were not there at that time, sod whether they were or not was the issue which the j uryj had to by. Mr. John Sheridan was then °ailed. He stated that he was managing director of the British . providenee Assurance Society from 1853 to 1859. Was positive that the 'uteri'. nation in the transfer of the shares to him by Orpen was made before the transfer was executed. 'He gave no directions as to the entry of the bander in the registry. He never dealt with the shares. The . price paid for them to Orpen was 501. Witness gave • Pro note to Orpen, at six months, p• le at 'his tanker mmonry 's, aad the note was drily honoured. 2M. had been paid upon them, sod he believed he could have sold them for 1001. The business was transferred to another dace in 1850. Whom bad bought share on his own account, and subsequently sold them to the company. He bought some sharea of Mr. Oliver, which he sold, on the 25th of July, 1857, to Mr. Ginson, as trustee for the company.

COURT OF QIIKEN'I3 BKNOH.—JAN. 17. Sittbp ie Boaco.—(Before Justices Wightwoo, tromp• too, and Mellor.) 1101Uil (Arra:LT.4yr) v. oi (ILIBPODIDZET). This was an appeal from the conviction of justices. at Bernsley for w.kfighting. It appeared that the respondent took out a summons against Job Morley, George Frickleton, John Peel, Richard Jackson, and John Lockwood, labourers, for that on the 10th Mareh last, at the township of Woolley, they did then and there mist in a cockfight and act in the management of • certain place then and there being need for the purpose of fighting cocks. The cock fighting took plane in a quarry belonging to Godfrey Wentworth, Fol., in the presence of upwards of 100 persons. It wee proved that one of the cocks wan taken out of the ring by Job Marley, and John Peel was seen to run away with another by the police, who were there in disguise. The other de. 1 1 fondant' only took part in the proceedings by throw ing stones at the police, and in preventing their hing the quarry whilst the fighting was going on. We r Zpellants were convicted or. the 3rd section of the 12th and 13th Vic., chap. 92. and they appealed against the conviction on the ground that, inasmuch as that section only applies to the encouraging, aiding, or assisting, at the fighting of nooks in any plane regularly kept or need for that wpm), as mentioned in the first clause of the said section, so as to subject the keepers of such places to the penalty Arad by the statute, and that there was no evidence to show that the stone quarry was • place so kept or used. The magistrates held that the quarry wee • place within the mewling of the act, for the purpose of cockfighting, and that it was so used on the day in question. Mr. Hawkins, QC., appeared in support of the convic tion ; Mr. D. D. Reline for the appellants. Mr. Hawking said the question for the opinion of the court tented upon the construction to be given to the 3rd section of the 12th sod 13th Vitt., cap. 92, "That every person who shall keep, or use, or act in the management of any place for the purpose of fighting any cock, or any kind of animal of a domestic or wild nature, shall be liable to • penalty not exceeding Si. for every day he shall so keep, or use, or set in the management of any such place ;" "and every person who shall aid or moist at the fighting of any such cock or any such animal as aforesaid shall forfeit • penalty not exceeding 51. for every such offence." Wea it therefore an offence to fight oocks or assist in their fighting in any place, or was it confined to a place habitually used for that purpose? He contended the cockfighting charged against the defendants was an offence, in the magis trates had found that it took place " in a placed used for that purpose." The judgment of the court was asked upon that point. The object of the legislature was to prevent cockfighting everywhere. Mr. Justice Cronipton said the section applied to the pleas and aiding and assisting in that place. He doubted if the parties had been prooseded apiost under the right section. Mr. Hawkins said they were eouvicted for fighting and assisting In the cockfighting, in a place then and there baths used for the of cockfighting. Mr. Justice Vi" tarn—Suppose persons were to go into any field or place by chance to fight cocks, or to do so on a highway, would that be a place used for the fighting of cocks! Mr. Hawkins thought it would if they went there espe cially for that poee. Mr. Justice Wightman—Then the legislature need not to have troubled Wolf about the place. Yr. Hawkins said it never could have been the object of the legislature to make the penalty depend on the num ber at times the particular plane had been used for the cruelty. Mr. Justice Wigbtman said it had been decided io this court, in the case of " Clarke v. Haigh," that it was not an atom to theist in cockfighting in a place not kept for that Pu X. ft liawkits said the justices had found there was a place so used. Mr. JustioeWightmaa—Just assay plan would be where ever the cockfighting took place. Mr. Justice Mellor said the keeping • place for the purpose must be connected with what was actually to be done there. Mr. Justice Wightinan said his only difficulty was "any place." The cocks can't fight incept in some place. Mr. Justice Mellor said that if any place would do there would have been no necessity for the proviso in the clause for the daily 51. penalty. Mr. Justice Crompton—And the words " as aforesaid" would lied to the belief that the cockfighting must he in such a place to make the penalty. The learned counsel was askinj i tiire i e judges to revere the considered judgment of four' Mr. Haw submitted that the object of the act was to prevent, and not punish. Mr. Justine Crompton said that if a man kept a room op4 . 74 ,tig one da i r t:ey eed charged for adminion, it would be • knew very well what was meant by the " k " a hove. There must be some control over the premises. If a man's children performed in his house, he could not be rid be was keeping a theatre. Without calling upon Mr. Keane, Mr. Justice Wiginnean said this was a precisely similar met to that of "Clarke v. Haigh." That was a considered tof the full mart, and they decided that mere Judgment of the full scoot, and they dicided that mere eoclghti.g was not as odium The court had been asked to review that decision, bat he was more disposed to confirm that decimicia. MD other loosed jadies (secured. Judgment for the appellants. The court disposed of several other eases in the crown paper, most of them being settlement PAM THE POLICE COURTS. GIITLDHALL. William Burkwell, railway contractor, caOured in Italy, and brought back to this country, charged with not cures dering after being adjudioated bankrupt, was again brought up for re-examination. The bankrupt during his trading had in his employ two brothers, Charles and rank Collins, who acted as his agents in Italy and England. Frank Collins was now examined, and said the bankrupt gave his brother 100 shares in the Novara and Lake Orta Railway, In May, 1861, and he also gays his brother William 25 shares in the same railway. no w ere all 10/. shares. paid up. William had had more shares, at a subsequent to the value of 1,4001. These were for services no. period, so the bankrupt in connexion with the railway. Wa nes had also received shares of the bankrupt. He had had 100101. shares for services rendered. (Mr. Metcalfe—Why, you told us you had 5001. a year for your services, and that you drew on the bankrupt when you liked.) He had also received 25 shams as a promoter of the company, and Mr. Cadogan, the bankrupt's financial manager, had received 100 shares, and be now held shares to the extent of 4,0001. or 5,0001., all received from the bankrupt. Charles held other shares, which were registered in William's name, and those were seat over to witnen a few months ago, for the purpose of buying up the bankrupt', debts, but he had not attempted to buy up the debts. Mr. James Cooper, accountant for the estate, said there was nothing that would show the amount of property under the bankrupt', control and due to the estate. They had no document that would give the assignees any title to the land purchased by the bankrupt in Italy. Th. bankrupt had purchased goods and plant for the railway to the amount of many thousand& Mr. Lewis said it could be proved that upwards of 40,0001. had been expended by the banlrabankrupt on the railway. Mr. Metcalfe—The creditor, will be glad to hear that, for there are 130,0001. in debentures at present tune. counted for. ....

The prisoner bad been discharged from Mr. Wat son's employ, and suspicion having subsequently fallen on him, he was accused of the robbery by a police constable, who was put upon the pent by complainant. The prisoner admitted that - he had taken some of the property, and had sold it at the shop of Mr. Blundell, in Wardoar-street. _ Mr. Corns astonishment that any tradesman would purchase such articles em these, marked as they were with the bishop's mitre, crest, and initials. The prisoner was remanded in order that inquiries might be made. WORSHIP-STREET. O ie Clark, a thin-vimged, spare-built man, 30, was charged before Mr. Leigh with breaking into and stealing from a dwellinrhouse. Mr. George Holmes said—l am a private gentleman, and reside at No. 5, Belvidere, Cambridge-road, Hackney. On the night of the 9th instant, during the absence of myself and family, the house was broken into. On my return, about one o'clock a.m., I found it all in confusion, the bureau broken open, and about 271. in gold and silver stolen therefrom, valuable property scattered about the floor, among which I afterwards found a Si. Bank of Eng land note. The thieves had also taken a great quantity of wearing apparel, and a gold chain was likewise musing. A portion of the former I have sinus seen is the palmation of the police, and identified. William Chapman, police-constable 27, IC division—Before 12 o'clock on the night in question I was on duty in Little North-street, Whitechapel, sod met the prisoner carrying a large bundle. My suspicion was aroused. I followed him, and afterwards stopped him. To my inquiries as to the contents of the bundle, he said, "They are only old clothes which I have received from a woman named Thompson, of 28, Three Colt-lane, and I am now taking them to my wife to mend before selling them in Petticoat-lane. " I took him to the station•house, and the old clothes turned out to be three coats, seven waistcoats, six shirts, three handker chiefs, and various other articles.

Defendant had been smoking on the platform, and had re peated the offence after being told that it was contrary to the regulations of the company. Mr. Burchrun observed that it was well known that the regulation was never enforced by the railway officers unless a complaint was made by some persons who had experienced annoyance from it. This was not a bed case, and he should only order the defendant to pay the costs. Amelia O'Brien was charged with being riotous in the public streets, and nearly biting off the thumb of James Beecham, a police constable, and assaulting him in the exe cution of his duty. Prisoner was fighting in the street with another female, and tb• constable Beecham interfered to stop the disturbance, when she attacked him violently, and got hie thumb lute her mouth, and nearly bit it in two.

Dewritucrivg Figits.—Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, the inhabitants of Little Trinity-lane, City, were for a second time, and within the space of a few hours, alarmed by the breaking out of a fire in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Bryant, export packing cue maker, No. 16, in the before named narrow thoroughfare. From inquiries made, the firemen bad some time previously attended a chimney on fire, either in that or the next house, which it was mini dared bad been properly extinguished. Whilst the firemen were at work at the chimney, having placed a ladder against it, the chimney pot flew, owing to the intense heat, as well as the corner of the chimney Ptak, which mimed the ladder to rant on one side, aod. two men, named Hutchins and Penfold, fell a distance of 13 or 14 feet and were terribly shaken, more especially the latter, who was obliged to have surgical attendance. Some time after the firemen had returned to their station the principal part of the building was found to be well on fire. Fortunately, the inmates managed to effect a rate retreat before the Royal Faciety's escape bad been sent for. Considerable damage was done. About the same time another fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Foy, pestrycook and confectioner, No. 5, Alpha-place, Crispinatreet, Poplar. This fire originated from some unexplained cause in the bakehouse at the rear of the dwelling, and was dis covered by the flames rising through the roof. The flame, were confined to the bakehouse, which, however, wee nearly destroyed. Insured in the Sun Fire-aka—About 7 o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the premiss. of Mears. E. end J. Willis, wholesale tallow-chandlers, at the western end of Peter-street, Wardour-street, Sobo, and fortunately, with very trifling exceptions, the two principal portions of the works escaped the ravages of the fire. The whole of the hones were rescued, but the warehouse in which the fire began, with its contents, was destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown, and it could not be ascer tained in what officals the firm was insured. THE SPECIAL SERVICES AT ST.

The week's import is nothing. oorroN GOOD& —ffi•NCHllirra, JAN. 17. —The mar ket is quiet to-day, but we have had active inquiries. The aggregate business of the week has not been large, but it has been of a character difficult to form an approximate estimate of. In • week, during which brims have been subject to fluctuation, like the peg, buyers go into what at other times would be considered out-of-the-way channel* to test prime, and parttime@ are made as the result of these inquiries ray often which are far from inconsiderable. Spinners and manufacturers mostly report a rather dull market ; but there have been some large re-sales of both yarn and cloth held by speculators. A good deal of this cloth has reminded of India shirting and other fabrics, and is not purchased for present shipment; but we have also heard of some fair transactions also in domestics and printers. These are mostly in goods which have been held on speculation since about August, and which the holders have been content to quit the first opportunity with • moderate profit. Home trade yarns closed decideffiy lower than they were last week, whilst yarns for shipping are dearer. Doubled yams, for the continent, are rather dearer, and the higher counts have been taken to • fair extent. Holders of cloths generally are firm, but those suitable for the home trade are difficult of sale, and cloths of this description are practically aerie , able at late quotations. WOOLLEN.—Lana, JAN. 17.—Tbere was no lack of animation in the market this morning, particularly in the Coloured Hall, where there was • good attendance of buyers, who appeared disposed to operate with better spirit. Low maltose, both in plain sod fancy styles, were eagerly picked up, and more would have been sold if they had Leen there, but in these inferior qualities the supply is now considerably in arrear of the demand. Tweeds and better meltons for spring also commanded • fair @hare of attention, and some good parcels were cleared. There was also an improved inquiry for plain cloths, properly so called. In the White Hall, light mediums again led the way, and • pretty large quantity changed hands. Rates in all departments were fully maintained. HARDWABE.—Braignoffsti, JAN. 17.—The trade of this town is improving. In the course of the week a good sprinkling of orders have come io, and at all the large manu factories the men are fully employed. There is little to be said in reference to particular branches. It may be no ticed, however, that the electro-platen are getting bast', and that the various rolling mills are on at full time ; the tabe-makers, hollow-ware manufacturers, and tin-plate workers have all of them sufficient orders in to keep all hands fully occupied. Much the same might be said in re ference to some other important branches. In the various trades of the adjoining district an improvement has also taken place. The foundries are in fall work ; there is a good demand for railway fittings, and at Walsall the sad dlers' ironmongers are getting better off for orders on ac count of the foreign trade. The tool makers are busy, and with few exceptions the large works all over the district are in active operation. Coll24.—Catuuuocr„ JAN. 17.—Wheat u last week. Barley Is. dearer.
