SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, ISE% MARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. hIOMDAT. Visitors to the heath oa the opening day were greatly disappointed, for the weather, which had been up to to-day wait enimaragionly tine. underwent a change. A damp, saw mist prevailed in the early part of the day, and at times ass so dense that the horses could only be seen a very short &smug° from the chair. Owing to this circumstance the fret race was put back half an hoar, but just prior to the hour appoiutad for the Criterian-4 o'clock—tbe fog spin became so thick that the Jockey Club deemed it necessary to put off the race to the following day. lt u needless to say that the postpouemeut of the most interesting race of the meeting was a great disappointment, several sportsmen having imam long distances to animus the encounter.

QUEENSTOWN, SATURDAY NICHT. Shortly after daybreak this morning, as one of the Messrs. Scott's large pilot boats was cruising off the harbour, the was sigoalled to come alongside by the bargee New Brunswick, of Bristol, from Quebec, for the purpose of taking ashore the captain and crew of the sht • Colloden, which became a total loss os the 14th instant. follow lug are the particulars :—The Culloden, • large ship, of 1,300 tom, haft Quebec oar the lath September, with • valuable general cargo, and met with moderate weather =tit the 10th instaot, when • (earful gale arose, sweep ins every thiug off the deck', and obliging two helmsmen to be lashed to the wheel. She remained with just sufficient canvas to keep her out of the trough of the sae until the 12th, when • tremendoes me hit her partly on the broadside, and smashed the rudder into useless fragments. It Demme now • forlorn hope to think of saving the vessel, especially as the carpenter came aft with the report that the ship was making water so fast that she would go down in • few hours. Fortucately the monde took the precaution to have the boat so secured that they were not swept away, and the vessel soca after beginning to pitch by the heed, the boats, which were with difficulty kept from being swamped, were lowered. The fol lowing this got over the aide : —Captain Ness sod wife. 33 seamen, and Mr. White, passenger. There being snob haste oely • small quantity of provisions could be taken and • Lap sod beautiful Newfoundland dog was forgotten. He appeared on the bulwarks moos after, but of course he had to be left to his fate. Hanes hoar afterwards the tell made of the ship disappeared beseech the waves, and the bleak prospect of the stormy sky and angry billows was all that remained to those in the boats. They kept tossing about till the nth suffering from the piercing winds sod rain, which kept pouring down all the time they were is the boats. About noon on the 14th one of the men perosived a faint speck above the horizon, and soon afterwards the hull of a barque was visible. A large tablecloth, brought for the purpose, was waved from en oar, and the signal war shortly after answered by the barque, which proved to be the New Brunswick, of Briatol, from New York. Every attention was shown to Captain Ness and pinyon board. Oe Widths the men were received into the Sailors' Home, and Caplets Ness sod his wife will proceed to Liverpool tomight.— DoWis THE NEW TRAFFIC REGULATIONS IN THE CITY. TO ERE "Toros OP THE EXPRESS.

The bankrupt, described an of Wells-street, Oxford street, out of bushiest, and formerly of Strogate, Lambeth, baker, recently applied for her release from custody, when it appeased that she was a married woman who had been trading as a bone sole. The matter now came en by ad journment. Mr. E. Reed supported the application ; Mr. Bagley opposed. The bankrupt was not present, but, by consent of Mr. Bagley. the cue was allowed to proceed. Mr. Bagley said that since the last sitting the bankrupt had made an affidavit which was directly contradicted by four witoesau. This was bold, to say the kart of it. She denied having re e resented herself to be • widow, but admitted that she had traded for three years as • feme sole. When cootracting the debt of the detaining creditor, she did not represent herself to be • widow. On the other band, Mr. Rayner sod Mr. Poletti positively de posed to this representation, and also to a statement uy the bankrupt that her " late" husband had very much ill-need her, and had not regretted it on his death bed. (Laughter.) Mr. Wilcox, the detaining creditor,sated that he bad been induced to lend the bankrupt 664 by these re. reeentations. After the advance she spoke of the probability of her marrying one St. Cyr. It was per fectly clear, in point of law, that • married woman could not make • cont ract,i though living apart from her husband, and even having • separate maintenance secured to her by deed. (Sao " Marshall e. Button," BT. 8., 645.) By the sot of 3 Geo. IV., a mar tied woman was allowed to petition the Insolvent Court, but the rights of the husband were specifically pre served. That act, as well aa the 1 sad 2 Viet., • bad now been repealed, and the law bad re verted to the state it was in before the passing of the former act, when the commissioners had nolpower to dis charge a married woman. There was no ground bees for the sympathy of the court, for this woman, when sued, had not plaided her °overture, as she might have dose, but had allowed the creditor to go on to judgment. Mr. E. Reed contended that the prisoner was entitled to release, on the general pound that she bad been adjudicated bankrupt, and was in custody. The law had been entirely altered by the statute of IB6L The words of that act were, that "soy debtor" might tile a petition for adjudication. Were it otherwise there would be no relief from • judgment improperly obtained. The court had not inquired whether the applicant was • fetus covert, but whether she was a debtor. In the cue of Mary Smith, • married woman, Mr. Commissioner Pane had directed the immediate release, Mr. Commiseioner Holroyd, in the case of a woman named Butler, a married woman, had refused to annul the edjodication. The Commissioner—Theis the debts had all been con traded before the marriage. That makes a peat difference. Mr. Reed—But that case establishes the principle that • married woman may petition. The Commissioner—But your argument goes to this extent,—that the late Bankruptcy Act has not only altered the former law in bankruptcy, but the whole law of rho land, which says that • married woman cannot make a con. tract. Do you contend that? Mr. Reed—l do. The commissioser—li is • strong assertion. Mr. Reed still plied ow the general words " any debtor," as giving the coartforiedietica. His Honour said that all those cases depended on parti csa/ar facts end airetuastsoces. But lre!greatprirriple - . was involved, whether any one was entitled to take advan tage of his own wrong. Here the bankrupt had held her self out as a person competent to contract, and in that cha racter had obtained credit, not sayings word of her being • married woman. Mr. Justice Bylea had already refused her release, on the ground of her having told a gross falsehood, and that was the real answer to the alleged hardship of the ease. But the application must have been refused on other grounds. The case cited by Mr. Bagley had decided, nearly 60 years ago, that • feme COQUINAS could not contract though living apart from her husband and having • sepa rate maintenance, and the law had never been altered, This woman might have property in her own right, and while taking all the advantages of the bankrupt law, her creditors would derive now, as the assignees could not claim the pro perty. This was not such a case of doubt as to main the °min to decide in the bankrupt's favour. The court was of opinion that in justice to the creditors it ought not to inter fere to gnat the release, and in the exercise of its discre tion it would not do so. Release refused. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT -- --.---- Georpe Baskereille, 29, flint grinder, pleaded guilty to a charge of felouicawly forging a bill of exchange for 2761. 135., with intent to defraud John Bethell and ethers. Mr. F. H. Leiria, who appeared for the prisoner, said he was instructed to urge on his behalf that he and his father bad for several years carried on a respectable business as flint grioders at Hanley, in Staffordshire, and he could not deny that he bad, under pressure, forged acceptances to • somber of bills of exchange. The prisoner had since be come bankrupt, but be believed his estate would pay fifteen shillings in the pound, and he had a wife and family depen dent upon him. Mr. Poland said he appeared for the prosecutors, who were the London and Birmingham and South Staffixdshire Bank, and all he bad to state to the court was that the prisoner was recommended to the firm as • person of re and upon the belief that Lewes entitled to that eter, they had dim:canted bills of exchange for him to • considerable amount, and it turned out that the accept ances to Kgreat many of these bibs were forgeries. The court reinited the judgment. George Witham Thompson, 25, a respectable looking young man, retracted • plea of not guilty, and pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling various stuns of money, the property of his employer, Maurice Herechorn. Mr. Sleigh, trim appeared for the prisoner, said that be had pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him with his satire concurrence, because he felt that it was hopeless upon the evidence to attempt to struggle spinet a movie trom The prisoner asserted most positively that be had loot a sum of money belonging to his employer, and that he had committed the subsequent offences in order to make food that loss, but there did not appear to be any testimony la support of this assertion, and be believed he should have the sanction of his lordship for saying that such • statement as this, unsupported by evidence, wee not likelo have any weight. On behalf of the prisoner, however, be would re- spectfully urge upon the consideration of the court that the prisoner was very young, that he had, down to the period of this traseaction, borne a most excellent character, and that be had only been married two pan, and had one child, end he believed that his wife was about to be delivered of another, and he said he trusted that upon these facts the court would feel itself justified in passing • lenient sentence upon the prisoner, and thus give him an opportunity of re trieving his character. He added that he believed the pro. secutor would recommend the prisoner to the merciful con sideration of hie lordship. Mr. Poland, who wee instructed to prosecute, said it was quite true that the primmer bad hornet very good character, hot the prosecutor felt that he bad no alternative but to prosecute, upon the discovery of the prisoner's misconduct, particularly as Ire had a great many other persons in his ier. vice. He was, however, desirous of resionimeixling the pri soner to inerey on amount of his wife and family. The Commas Sinjesot, in mixing sentence upon the pri. loner, said that he had pleaded guilty to • very serious offence • but taking into mosideratiou his youth, his pre vious gOod character, and the difficulty he would have in retrieving his charac ter, coupled with the recommeodation to mercy of the prosecutor, be felt himself justified in iag a lenient matinee, which was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for four months. John Burke, 52, was charged with obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Sleigh conducted the prosecution, which wu insti tuted bdirection of the Commissioners of Sewers for th e City of London. The prisoner wu in the habit of going to different whole sale houses is the city, and under the pretence that he had been ersployed by the Cotuiuktioners of Sewers to clean out the drains, ho onoceeded in obtaining small stuns of money from several parting. He had been convicted of a similar offence upon three other occasions. The prisoner was sentetioed told months' hard labour. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Gave Grey. 45, tailor, John Watson, 45, labourer, add Miss Abbott. 20, married, were indicted for having in their 190 pieces of spurious money-20 bad mowers, 30 Chlt rowes, 40 bad florins, and 100 bad shillings. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Poland prosecuted; Mr. Daly de fended Watson and Abbott, who pleaded not guilty ; and Gray, who pleaded guilty, was undefended, From the evidence laid before the court it appeared that Mr. Itlennall, who is employed by the Mint in this kind of eases, accompanied by Inspector Fife and another officer, proceeded op the 15th of October to the White Hart, Commercial•street, Spital&elds, which home they watched far some time in consequence of information they had received.

Mr. Commissioner Kerr, addressing Gray, told him be had been convicted on his own confession of having in bis possession a large quantity of counterfeit coin. He had before suffered two years' imprisonment, but that seemed to have had no effect upon him, for he had upon his release continued to carry on his old nefarious practices, which riot only got himself into trouble, but likewise was a source of great annoyance to the public at large, who suffered severely from this kind of thing, which was now, be was sorry to say, largely on the increue. The pieces were of the very best description, showing that immense pains must have been taken to get them to such perfection as these appeared to be Us, and it was necessary, for the sake of the public, to stop this kind of thing at the fountain head. His former seoteoces seemed to have had no effect upon him, and the decision of the court was that he be sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. With regard to the other two prisoners, his lordship sentenced them each to two years' imprison ment. Upon bearing her sentence the female prisoner hinted, and was obliged to be carried downstain.

CLEW/UNWELL. - - Henry rossea, aged 17, a pork butcher, wu charged be fore Mr. D'Eyncourt with using bad language and causing a disturbance in Upperetreet, Islington. A polioe-comitable stated that he saw the defendant and otheryouthe ow Sunday night iu Upper-street. The defendant kuockril at the shutters, made use of very bad language, and caused a disturbance. As the inhabitants had com plained he locked up the defendant. A deputation of gentlemen, residents of Islington, said that the 'mimeos of young lads and boys annoying the inflate. haute and insulting respectable females on their way to and from church on a Sunday had become quite intolerable. One of the gentlemen•stated that on Sunday be saw a low ruanlli attack a female, Lid pull her clothes over her heed, but he made his escape before he could get to him. Mr. D'Eyncourt--What is their object! The gentleman said that it was only done for annoyance. Mr. D'Eyncotirt- Do they go arm in arm ? The deputation replied that they did, and jostled people. The nuisance had become so great that no respectable per son could pass. They had complained to the police, and had come here in the hope that the magistrate would inflict the heaviest penalty he had it in his power to inflict. The noise, shouting, swearing, and pushing had reached its climax, and it was quite neeersary that the law should he enforced. They had seen in the public prints that the ma gistrates at Southwark had expressed their determination to put a stop to a similar nuisance at Newington-causeway. The constable stated the language which he heard the de fendant make use of was of the most disgusting character. The deputation stated that the language used by the de fendant was not so bad as that frequently used. , The defendant said that he was very sorry for what he had ' done, and his father gave him a very good character as an booed, steady lad. Mr. D'Eyocourt said that such conduct must be put a stop to. Under the Police Act the defendant wu liable to a firm of 40a., and under the Isliegtoo Act, to a penalty of U. He should have to enforce the full penalty if these disgraceful ache were not put a stop to. He should sow floe the defendant 211 a., or in default eight days' imprison • meet ; and he had better tell his companions that it any more of this occurred the fall penalty would be enforced. The fine was immediately paid. The deputation thanked his worship and retired.

Various plans have been suggested for giving the accommodation required. We will Dot discuss their merits ; but we may express the hope that should say design for the purpose be ultimately carried out, it will embrace the twofold project of • street and rail way line. The time is approaching when facilities will be offered for realizing the scheme. For many years the design was cute, tained, and the desire professed, to rue a street from the end of Cheapside through Newritemarket acres to the new Record-clfice ; and thence through and onwards to Piccadilly. A con siderable area, next the toy-shop behind Peel's statue, was kept waste for several yean in the expectation that it would be required for this street ; but patience was ex boasted, sad the site has hese built over. Moce then also, sew buildings have been raised io Warwick•quare.* These' are email impediments tom large a work. Ina few years, bow ever,—we are afraid to predict how many —Neergate-market will be closed, and its business transferred to the Metro. politan market in Smithfield ; the time will then have come for carrying out this project. If that opportunity should be lost, we may look in vain for the reolisation of so necessary an improvement. Coos allow the site of Newptte-market to be covered with extensive publishing houses like that which Longman and Co. have recently erected. sod there will be small c.hanoe of carrying • great central street to the West-sod. We can scarcely conceive onythioji nobler or' more conducive to public convenience than a spacious and hamienne street running through the metropolis in a direct line from west to east, with as underground railway in wo ve:ilia. We apprehend that there are no difficulties which engineers could not readily overcome to the exteosioo of the subterranean railway to Bow. Whether a scheme of this kind should be projected by Mr. (like or Mr. Fowler, by the formation of a sew lime, or by aa extension of the Metropolitan Railway, as has boss proposed, we hope that it will receive favourable coaaiderathe, both frees the cor poration and the legislature—City Press.

An inquiry took place on Saturday, at the Ward room, London-wall. before Mr. tisryeaat Perm, touching the death of Ellen Smith, a young woman 16 years of age, who died on Thursday last from the effects of chloroform, administered by Mr. Gay, of 10, Finsbury-place South, Finsbury. The following is the evidence adduced : Elizabeth Smith said-1 ern t h e wife of Robert Smith, and mother of the deceased. I live at 13, Acton-place, Kiogsland-road. My husbands a whip manufacturer. The name of my daughter is Ellen Smith, and she was 16 years old. 1 went with her to Mr. Gay's, of 10, Fuiabtu7.place South, Finsbury, about six weeks ago, for the first time, to have her tonsils attended to. The lent time I went with her wee on Thiundny last, for M.r. Gay to perform an operation on her lip. There were only my daughter, myself, Mr. Gay, and soother gentleman present. My daughter wished to have chloroform. She had never taken it before. Mr. Gay put a bottle to her nose for some time, and a piece of lint or • handkerchief. She did not appear oouvulsed„ but died afterwards. She struggled, end did not speak when the struggling coved. I then thought something wee wrong. The gentleman and Mr. Gay held her pulse in their bonds, and nothing was mid between them. When she ceased to move they did nothing more. My daughter was in good health previous to this, and I never heard her complain of any a ilment. Mr. Luther Holden, amistant surgeon at St. Bartholo mew's Hcmital, made a post mortem examination the body of the deosared. I ducovered no diseased organ. The blood was blacker than it ought to be, and more fluid ; the pupil of the eye was much dilated, end the only conclu sion I could come to as to the cause of death wan sudden ply of the heart's action produced by chloroform. It is rely rarely attended with fatal results. Some persons are exceedingly susceptible to the influence of chloroform. In MOB that have been fatal it does not appear to have been the amount which hes been given but more particu larly the constitution of the patient, which the surgeon cannot discover beforehand. Incomes should always be made al to the previous state of health and condition of the patient. The administration of chloroform requires great care, and it is not every surgeon that knows how to do it. It should be a person accustomed to it. We have • special officer for the purpose at the hospital. Chloroform is inhaled as gas to cause lon of sensation, and to act upon the brain. Sometimes it act. upon the heart first. When the brain r affected the administration ought to cease. John Gay, of Finsbury-price, Finsbury, surgeon, said —I was consulted about six weeks ago for a here lip and cleft potato and enlargement of the tonsils. I removed the tonsils six weeks ago, not under chloroform. Then the Ware was to be repaired. After the operation on the tonsils the deceased became generally well. On Wednesday I went to hee hone' to operate on the plate. Mr. Worley helped me. It wee not under chloroform. After commencing the operation her courage failed her, and she would not allow us to d. At that portion of the treatment it was that the operation should be deferred. On Thus day she came to my house to have her lip operated on, and Mr. Wesley came to mist me. Mr. Worley is a surgeon of Heaton, and a very skilful man. He has administered chloroform under my superintendence. The deceased sp good health end spirits and sat down in a chair. pared in Worky assisted Me in the operation on a child, and it was all right. We used an inhaler for the deceased, but it hid not the desired effect, and • piece of lint saturated with chloroform was applied to her nostrils. In three or four minutes the usual spasms which precede the loss of insensibility were !apparent, and I was waiting for complete insensibility, when I discovered that the pupil of the eye dilated rapidly ; she fell back, and her face became pale, arid her lips bluish. I put my hand to her pulse, and it was gone then—there was no life. I in stantly tried every means with artificial respiration for half an hour without sucrose. The mother, my servant. Mr. Worley, and myself were in the room. Mr. Worley didnot attend to her pulse continuously. It was not accessary in my judgment. Whilst he was administering the chlom- I form, I was standing ekes by watching the effect of the chloroform, and making any suggestion that might erne. I bad felt the pulse more than ones. I do not think it necessary for the same person to notice the pulse who ad ministers the chloroform. It is constantly tire practice to administer chloroform without noticing the pulse. I was not holding her pulse as the time when she went off. I think an occasional feeling of the pulse quite sufficient. I had listened to her heart before. I know it was not diseased. That is not so good a criterion as other miens—such as watching the pupil of the eye and feeling the temporal artery. William Charles Worley, 1, New North-road, Hoehn:, physician and surgeon, said—l was present on the day in question, and administered the chloroform on lint, the in haler having produced no effect. I held the lint, ad Mr. Gay was *tending by. I felt the pulse occasionally, but not continuously. I was on the left side of the demand, and felt her left pulse. She sat in an easy chair. Mr. Gay was in charge of the patient, superintending the adminis tration. 1 have been present at many administrations both at hospitals and private practice—at Char ing -cross and Westminster hospitals. It is not, in my judgment, necessity for the party admisis tering the chloroform to have chugs of the pulse also, if others are attending the patient. I saw Mr. Gay • few moments before the struggle began having bold of therm's/4 but he had not continuous hold of it. I doe% think it is necessary to have continuously hold of the pules, if you ere looking at the patient, watching the eyes, and feeling the temporal artery, which is as good as feeling the pulse. Some patients require more atteetion than others. Mr. L. Holden was recalled. He maid-1 have beard the evidence of Mr. Gay and Mr. Worley. The petty admiuis tering chloroform at the hospital is expeded to attend to the pulse as well. I think it preferable to administer, than a second party doing it. The object is to ascertain whether thine is any gradual demesne of action of the pulls end heart. I think upon the whole the pulse is the best evideoce of the state of the patient, and therefore it is desirable that cam had should be continually moo the pulse. Judging from what I have seen in hospitals, the adminis trator keeps his linger on the pulse as much as he possibly Can. — The learned Cormier, in summing up the evidence, dwelt in strong terms upon the omission of the medical men in continuously watching the pulse ; for, be said, had the pulse been continuously attended to, it wes probable the life of the deceased might have been saved. From him personal ez perieoce, he could say that it was usual forthe adinioistrator to hold the pulses He could not recommend the jury to return a verdict of manslaughter, fur it was evident that it was an error in judgment. After a long consultation the jury returned & verdict, "That Ellen Smith bad died from the effect. of.chloroform administered previous to an operation, and that there was no blame attached to the medical men." Foarnaii.—Last evening a somewhat numerous and influential meeting of the captain. or other represen atives of the football clubs of the metropolis and the suburbs was bald at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, for the purpose of promotiug the adoption of a general code of rules, and generally to bring the game into a more definite position. The following clubs were represented by one or more of their officers :—Barnes, Blackheath, Blackheath Proprietary School, Percival-house Blackheath, Kensington School, Crystal Palace, Charter house School, Crusaders, Forest (Leytonstonek N. N. Kilburn, W. 0. (War-office), ke. Mr. Pember, N. N. Kil burn Club, having been voted to the chair, observed that the adoption of • certain set of rules by all football *yore was greatly to be desired, rod baring that object in view, the meeting bad been called to carry it into effect as far as ractleable. Mr. E. C. Morley (Busies) moved, and Mr. Yaekestds (Forest Club, Leytoustooe) seoooded, the fol lowiag rem:halal :—" That it ls advisable that a football associatioe should be formed for the purpose of settling a code of rules for the regulation of the game of football." Mr. B. F. Hartshorne said that though he felt it was most desirable that a definite set of rules for football should be generally adopted, yet, an the represestative of the Charter-home School, he could not pledge himself to any course of action without seeing more clearly what other schools would do in the matter. On the part of the Charter-house, he would willingly °Weer» if the other public schools would do the same. Probably at • more advance! stage of the association the opinion of the generality of the great schools would be obtained. The chairman said every association meat have a beginning, and they would be very happy to have the co-operation of the last speaker at a future meetiug. The resolution for the foe matiou of the institutiort was then palatal carried. The officen were elected as follows :—Mr. A. Percher, president ; Mr. KC. Morley (Barnes), hoe. erenetary ; Mr. F. M. Camp hall (Blackheath), treasurer. The annual subscription was fixed at one gooses, all club. being eligible if of no* year's standing, and to be entitled to send two representatives to the yearly meeting, to be held in the.last week in September, whoa the rules would be revise! and the general business arrangements canted out. The hon. secretary was reloca ted to advertise the annual meetieg fora day to be hereafter fixed, and with a vote of thanks to Mr. Peruber, for his conduct in the chair, the meeting, which wee most uncut mous, came to a close.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. This has been a moat favourable week, for although iu the early part some ram fell deriug the eights, yet the days have beam flue, with the wind varying from south-west to north-east, barometer ranging from 29.90 to 30.20, thermometer from 52 to ss. A great extent of field work has been accomplished, the seed going into the `round in the primest order possible, and that which had been planted first is already op witha good appearance , the seed being of such fine quality, it vegetates early arid most favourably. The laud has worked remarkably well, the rains having been most acoeptable, so that every description of soil has been benefited. The white sorts of wheat have been extensively sown, particularly " Chidham" and "rough chaff." Whilst farmers have been thee engaged with autumnal tillage, thin have bed little time to thrash, endless inclination to bring wheat out at toss present very low prices. Thequantity returned this week has fallen off to 99,819 quarters, and the average price DM down to 40a 4d. per quarter. Taking qualities into account, some Sr. in clined to make purchases to hold over, in the anticipation of this being a good investment ; and when the poorer clam of farmers have sold off their stocks, them who OLD hold are likely to do better by the stack, and they at least avoid the heavy expense of granary rent, which falls upon the iner• chant when he makes smiler purchases. The great delive ries of grain this season have given the bankers more call for their capital, and the money has been circulated, to the great benefit of the country generally, the shopkeepers everywhere feeling its advantages. This will make a wide difference to our own prosperity going into the pockets of the English farmers, in Ilea of being sent out to buy up foreign corn from all part of the globe. For the next six months at brat we could do without any new importations of wheat, that which is in granary being sulfa:Mut for an admixture during suet a period, and, from the excellence of our own growth, very s little i this meson wanted to give strength to the manufac tured article. Whilat the deliveries of wheat are falling off so mach, those of barley are greatly on the increase, end the fanners are no doubt acting judiciously in thrashing so freely, the prices at heat being more satisfactory. This week some excellent "chevalier," grown in Kent, seighiog 157ilbs. per imp. bushel. has commanded 41s. per qr., being a much higher price than wheat, weight for weight; sad from this price down to 30a. per qr. one sort or other has been selling. The quantity returned for the week was 88.362 qrs., at 34e. par qr. The =timbers are now at fell work, and will take off freely the beet qualities, as they are making a most splendid ample of malt ; and the brewery at Sanyo-op:Trent will find the extract greater than on record, so that they will be encouraged to keep up their purchases to a liberal extent. Many of the root mope have now been Nimrod in fine order, and turnips and mangel-wand have been pitted extensively. —Mark Lam Express. MARKETS. LONDON WEEKLY DOCK I iimearogL evear-W.

A bridal party made their due appearance at a church, but it Ira soon discovered that, the important ceremony could not be proceeded with, u the bridegroom had neglected to provide himself with a license. What wee to be done ! Everybody seemed conpliumed. The bridegroom, pale end trembling, drove off in a carriage to the vier, to see if be could out him in the matter ; but the rev. gentleman could not furnish him with the necessary document. The disappointed youth then hurried to the telegraph office, whence he sent a message to the registry for permission to be married, and the license to be issued tut forwarded to him. Of course his application was unsuccessful. Diuppointed and con. fused he returned to the church, and told bin tale of sorrow. The bride and her train of maid. were thoroughly grief stricken, the former swooning, and bevies to be assisted into a carnage. she sou accompanied home by the whole party, after a delay of an hour and a half at the church, which was crowded by her friends and the public. Next day the bridegroom made amend% for his negligence, ob tained the license iu due form, and lost no time in having the ..iremony of marriage performed.— Manchester guar• dies.
