I saw him arrive. I was outside the bungalow when he cum, not head*. It was about half- peat two when the doctor arrived ; the sergeant-major ems taken sick about one o'clock. To the beet of my recollection it wee about half-put three when he died. I remember seeing Sergeant-Major Lilley's assirant bring two bottles of brandy to his bungalow. That was to the best of my recollection on the 18th or 19th May. The iiergeant-major said that Mrs Lille, was allowed the brandy aa a mediae,. Lance-Corporal F.

The Prow-Our—The prosecution think it unwise le my same abort their mode of conducting the case. Colonel Crawley urged that the course he had takes in refereses totbe sentries called thatmorning was based on the statement wade by the prosecutor, that his case, so far as the evidence of the sentries was concerned, warn closed If tide was not the cue, he (Colossi Crawley) must ask the perms sion of the court to have all the miasma called to aay recalled, that they might be ercesexemnied by him.

During the late plea, sixty-four foreign shipwrecked mikes were saved from • watery grave by the lifeboats of thin institution, and by other means, for which it had granted rewards. Dazing the past month the institution had sent new life boats to Pembrey, Farbouroe, and to Aridow, on the Irish court. The Great Western Railway Company had given, 49 usual, a free conveyance over their line to the Pembrey and Arklow lifeboats.

The coat of the Pembrey lifeboat had been collected in Bath, and the boat is named the City of Bath. The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway had conveyed the Eastbourne lifeboat to her 'tattoo free of charge. Pay ments amounting to upwards of 1,2001. were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments of the institution, and 5001. stock was again this month ordered to be cold from its small funded capital, to meet in part these heavy expenses. The committee of the institution are therefore earnestly up ' pealing for benefactions and annual subscriptions to help I them to meet the large and increasing expenses of the society's 125 lifeboat stations.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN Rau.war.—Yesterday morning • shocking accident oc curred on the Great Northers Railway. At • place celled New England, about two or three miles from Peterborough, the company have extensive works. From the sheds here the engines are riftes started on their journeys, and the in tricacy of the metals is such that, in spite of every promo tion, accidents are of frequent occurrence. About half peat four o'clock yesterday morning a pilot passenger engine started from New England towards Peterborough, having our it • driver, fi reman, and the guar d o f a passenger tra i n. Immediately afterwards it was followed on the same line by ri powerful goods engine. It was very dark, the wind was blowing almost • hurricane, and it was musing. All seeing was therefore out of the question, and the goods engine ran into the pilot engine with a terrible crash. The shoec disconnected the ~lot engine from its tender, and all three men fell off. The guard, a poor fellow named Leek, a native of Donmeter, was run over by the tender, and was kilned instantaneously, his body beieg frightfully mangled ; hut the driver and fireman, whose names were Carley and Chamberlin, escaped with injuries, which in the case of the fireman are of a serious character. The casualties did not cease here, for the pilot engine, having neither driver nor fireman, dashed into the station at the rate of nearly forty miles so hour, and coming up with a goods train smashed the break van to atoms. The unfortunate guard of the goods train, whore names is Jones, hod not time to escape from the van, sod was picked up with his skull frect,:red and his arm and collar-bone broken. He now lies at the infirmary in • precarious state. Both engines were thrown off the line, and the tralfic on the up-line was impeded for over three hours by the accident. Under the super intendence. however, of Mr. Dance, the district ageot, Messrs. Johnson and Saud, the engineers, and Mr. the station master, the traffic was safely worked on the single line until • clearance was effied. The guard and fireman of the engine which mused the accident escaped unhurt. CRYSTAL PAL&CC. ON3 BHILLING TUCasDAT, D. 3.—Adzaimiene on payment, 606; Mew by minim tiakear, 663; weal, 1,169.

The plaintiff was a colonel of cavalry . in Oaribaldre army in Italy, and the defendant was a b rigadier-mefor in the same regiment, and he is now an officer in the insurractionaq army in Poland. The present action was to recover 900 ducats, or 1501. English money, for fodder, shoeing, he., paid for by the plaintiff, the defendant giving him his order on the paymaster of the regiment.

(Mon Mr. Comminioner Fano.) IN 11 NOUNS AND PRILIT. . . The bankruptewe7reanetio;e4Trs, - of iiriPer St. Martin's haw This was the sitting for discharge, the tankrupts haviespassed their list eliminations. Their joint liabilities are 4,3041., spinet which there are assets of 9501. Priest, who a~pppeeaar to have traded on his own account, has sepa rate liabilities to the amount of 12,1631., for which sesunty is held by a portion of the creditors to the amount of 8,87;li. The accounts were prepared by Mr. F. B. Smart. Mr. Pargood opposed for the assgness and creditors ; Mr. Denny, for creditors ; Mr. E. appeared for Robbie, and M r. R. Griffiths for Priest. Mr. Bargood said the cabs was one of some magnitude and much importance. The trade of the bankrupts was rather a special one, their clientelle oontisting principally of pawnbrokers, and their badness being chiefly the sale of unredeemed pledgee and other property sent to them by pawsbroken, to whom they bad to account for the pro web. The cases of the two bankrupts differed mate ien] that of Priest was by far the most aggravated of the two. Nearly all the debts bad been contracted in • fiduciary cha racter ; the deficiency mixing from funds not being paid over. Otte might be a greater defaulter than the Mbar, both might have drawls out and spout more then they were entitled to, but Priest had does so to a much greater extent than Robins. There was a deficiency OD the joint estate to the amount of 3,0001, solely arising from money which they had received and failed to head over to their chants. It was in reality a robbery of those who had employed . The Commissiooer—You ma call it a breach of trust.them Mr. Bargood said it ap to him to be nothing but a deliberate system of robbery. Priest had been in business slope for some years, and was joined by Robins in No ember, 1859, who pro a premium of 5001. to come* and brkt in a capital of 5001., all which we. last. Priest owed 4,3501. to unsecured creditors, sad nearly 8,0001. to those holding security. Re was, in fact, insolvent when Robins joined him. Robins's unsecured creditors only amounted to 1661., and he had given up property nearly sufficient to realise that. The bankrupt Robins was examined at ooriaiderable length. The case being unfinished, we abstain from going into details, as very grave charges were brought by Mr. Robbie against his partner and against persons in their employ. The further hearing was adjourned till Monday next. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Wan 13sras Mama) arelltilOW Braelburri, a well-dreawd woman ? sur rendered to take her trial for having wilfully and felomouly mused a false entry to be made in the register of baptiams of St. Peter'. Church, Pimlico. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Collins coaducted the prosecution ; Mr. Outage defended the prisoner. The charge was preferred under a recent statute known as the Births, Marriages, end Deaths Registration Act, which makes it a felony for any weft to caws a false entry in say relating to either of the wls ea sbove.mentimied o a ti ll a :h_ register, and every perm convicted of such an offence is liable, at the discretion of the prodding judge, to bs sentseeed to penal servitude for life. The circumstances connected with the present prosecution were somewhat re markable. It appeared that • young woman named Augusta 'ffibble was in the service of Mr. Dodd, • beershop-kotper is Little Belgrave-equare, and that on the 14th of May she was delivered cf • female illegitimate child. Oa the 10th of Jane she west to the district registrar's office and reen tered the child in the name of Ada Augusts Mary Tibbis, and it appeared that co the mine day elm and the prisoner, who was her aunt, acid • man named Cooper, who were to be godmother and godfather to the child, proceeded to St. Peter's Church, Pimlico, for the of having the child baptised ; and as they were .. elong the prisoner said that she should have the child ptised in the name of Dodd. The girl libble told her that this was wrong, and that she had already child in the names of Ada Augusta Mary registered the but the prisoner was represented to have stated that she did not care for that, and she gave the mimes of Ada Augusta Mary Dodd to the Rev. Mr. Snowden, the officiating minister. The child was consequently bap tised in those names, and the names of Richard Dodd sad Augusta Dodd were given as the uremia, and an entry wee made to that effect ; and it was for the false information thus alleged to have been given by the pri mmer that the present indictment was preferred against her. It should be stated that Mr. Seowden was unable to identify the prisoner as the person who gave hits the information upon which he made the entry, and although Cooper, the godfather, eau examined, it turned out that he was exceedingly deaf, and the precise circumstances wider which the entry was made appeared to be involved in • good deal of obscurity. Mr. Dodd was examined, and he stated that Augusta Tibiae had been in his service for about two years, sad he remembered her beiog delivered of • child on the 14th of May last In consequence of some information that he re ceived subsequently he went to St. Peter's Church and looked at the entry in the book, by which it was made to appear that he was the father of Augusta Tibble's child ; but he declared that this was not true, ad that no improper Intimacy had ever taken plans between this girl and himself. In answer to questions put to him in cross-examination Mr. Dodd stated that Augusta Tibble only had a mother living, and he and his wife acted as parents to her. He denied that he bad been accused by the neighbours of having an improper ittimacy with Augusta Tibbls, or that it bad been stoned that his wife had gone out of her mind in wa mpum*, of his keeping the girl in the same house with her. He said it was true that his wile's mind was affected, and he bad endeavoured to get her into a lunatic asylum, but that her condition arose from her having a paralytic attack about fourteen months ago. In consequence of her condition he was obliged to live apart from her, and in con sequence of her being at times very violent be had cowshed the parish doctor, with a view to get her into some asylum ; but her coalition turned out to be not such an would justify such a step being taken. He admitted that hotted bought a wedding ring and keeper for Augusta Tibble, but ha said that be merely did so at her request, and he was not aware what her object was. On re-examination by Mr. Sleigh, the witness declared most solemnly that there was oo truth whatever in the sug gestion that improper intercourse bad taken place between him ad the girl Tibble. Augusta Tibble was next examined, and she deposed to the facts connected with the alleged false entry in the parish register, and she also declared positively that Mr. Dodd was not the father of her child, sad that the bans of marriage had been published, and she was about to be married to the real father. Mr. Orridge then addressed the jury for the prisoner, and he urged that even suppootog she had acted in ►he way that wee alleged, that she bad only said wh►t she believed to be the truth when she stated that Dodd was the father of the child, sod said so from the information that was given her by the witness Tibble. He also remarked upon the absence of any motive on the part of the prisoner for wil fully making a false statement, and said it appeared to him, from all the facts in the case, that the girl libbie was just as likely to have given the inform►tion to the clergyman, in reference to the name, sa the prisoner. He went on to say that the ease appeared to depend entirely upon the evi dence of the girl Tibble ; and he should nail witnesses who would contradict a great portion of her testimony, and parti cularly with regard to the nature of her conomion with Dodd. Baron Channel' interposed, and said that before the learned counsel stated the nature of the evidence he Pro posed to lay before them, be felt it right to inform the jury that before the jury would be justified in convicting the prisoner they must be astiafied, tint, that the prisoner gave the informatios which led to the Getty being made ; secondly that the informatics WY fAIMO ; so d thi r dl y, th a t it was fi;lse to her knowledge ; sad unless they were satis fied upon all these poitta in the affirmative, the prisoner was entitled to an acquittal. The jury, after a short consultation, said that they should like the use to go on ; and winterises were then examined on behalf of the prisoner. Mrs. Stuckey, grandmother of Augusta Tibble, and the mother of the prisoner, stated that on the 14th of June she saw Tibble, and asked her who was the fath er o f th e c hild, and she replied that it was Mr. Dodd. She also said that she bad put the child in his name on the register, and she thought she had • right to do so. as it was his child. She said that Augusta 'Dibble also told her that Mrs. Dodd was mad, and that Mr. Dodd intended to get her into a mad house, and if he could sot do so lie would put her in the none ; and she mid at the tame time that if anything happened to Mrs. Dodd ebeshould be Dodd's wife, and that she intended to stick to him as long as she lived, as he was the father of her child. Mn. Hills, the muter of th e priaoner, a n d th e aunt of the girl Tlbble, deposed that after the letter was coofiued she west to see her at Mr. Dodds, and told her that she had brought great &armee upon her mother, and at the same Use maid hog who the father was, and atm told her it was Mr. Dodd, and be intended to have married her before, in order that the child might be born in wedlock. Mn. Black burn (the prisoner) who was memo; upon this being acid, observed, "The old fool! How one be do that whoa be has got a wife living ? He had better leave that alone." (A laugh.) This witness also proved that *pea smother occa sion she took a new dress and a weddierring to libble, and she put on the ring sod said that it fitted her exactly, and asked how she looked, and Mr. Dodd said that she had better put the ring oat one side, for if her mistress were to r see it there would be a row. (A laugh.) This whams Men I contradicted the girl Dibble in refinance to several other matters, and particularly as to her haviag been at Margate with Mr. Dodd, and to their having passed as man and wife at that place. Mrs. idaridsoombe, another sister of the prisoner, stated that on the 28th of August she saw Tibble, and observed that she was wearing a wedd log rint e and a keeper, and she asked her if she was married and a replied tha t she was, and bad beep a long 'tune. 'Witness asked her how she meld be married whoa Dodd had a wife alive, and she in. plied that everybody did not know that. She then asked her whether she was not afraid that Mrs. Dodd would come and turn her out, and she mid she was in there, and the old would lever come there any more. She asked her if Mrs. Dodd knew Dodd was the father of the child, and she replied that she dared my she guessed at it ; but what did ahe mare. She was well provided for. Mr. Dodd allowed her 10e. a week, and she sent her mother the amount of Bs, every week. Mary Creswell stated that she nursed the girl Tibble in her confloseteat, and heard ber tell her aunt (the prisoner) that Dodd was the father of the child. Mr. Sleigh having replied, The learned Judge then proceeded to sum up. He said that registers of births and deaths were mom care fully kept at the present day th an they were in years past. The present indictment was pr frond under as act of parliament of very repent date, which had bees pared in order to render more secure timeliest. which were deemed in efficient. The registrar might at some future Use, be re quired to prove a title upon certain important purposes, and it was therefore of the greatest public importance that mush registers should be more carefully and correctly kept. His lordship then proceeded to comment upon the evidence, and said the drat question for the jury to consider was whether the prisoner war the party who gave the information to the clergyman at the time of the remehy, and next, whether or not sash information wet. true or false, sod if it were true she was not, in his opinion, liable to the indictment ; and spin, whether if they were of opinion that the informatics was given by the prisoner, sad that it wan not true, she was at that time aware that it was untrue, and if they were not satisfied on all the potato he bad alluded to they must give the prisoner the helmet of the doubt. The jury retired to deliberate, and after an absence of about an hour returned into court, and delivered a verdict of Not Guilty. The declaim was received with a burst of applause from those in the gallery, which was immediately suppressed, and the judge said that if the officers could point cut any pence who made the disturbance he would instantly commit him. (Before Mr. Justice Dyke.) Samuel Shorflaed, 26, soldier, was placed at the bar on an indictment charging him with unlawfully attemptiog feloniously to administer to Mary Prescott certain pawn to wit, cyanide of potassium—with intent to isjar• bet.

She had been keeping company with the primmer nearly four thara, and had agreed to marry him if he gave op a soldier's life and would settle quietly down, but she had refused to marry him ogees he sold out. She remembered Friday, the 16th October. Oa that day she met the pH weer in the Bayswater-road, and they walked together down Orfordqdreet, where he went into a chemist's shop. When be eszneciet abe naked him 'lntim had been buying, when he said " tobacco." She remarked that it was a strap place to bay tobacco. He replied that he often did that in hie part at the world. They then proceeded se far se South Audley-street, when they went into the Albemarle Arms. The prisoner called for a pint of ale which they partook of together. When they had drunk it nearly all writhes ssw him put something white into the ghee, when she immediately got rip and went outside. He followed her with the glass in his band, and asked her to thew back. She refused, telling him that she had seen him put something into the aisle. He said, "Yon need not drink it ; I only want you to come in and sit down. I never meant to poison you, bat myself." She replied, " What a predicament I should have been in if you bad taken the poison, and died before my eyes." The poem= then came out and told the prisoner he believed he wanted to murder the woman, upon which the prisoner ran off. She had on several occasions lent the prisoner money, alto gether about 201. The prisoner croesexamined this witness at some length, when she admitted that she bad met bun the night after the occurrence, and they bad parted very affectionately, promising to write to each other every day. She had also speed to get a room for them to live in when they were married. relice.oxistable 4 C deposed to taking the prisoner into custody at the barracks.

The witness received a white powder from Mr. West, which he took to an analytical chemist. The potmaa of the Albemarle Arms, South Audleystreet, mid when be beard the first witness say the prisoner wanted to poison her, he got posseerica of the glare, and on pouring the ale on to the ground, he discovered a white powder on the bottom. On putting his tongue to it he found it to be of a very sharp and ac ri d taste. Dr. Bedlock next gave evidence. He had analysed the powder brought to him by Mr. West , of the Albemarle, when he discovered it to be cyanide of potassium. There was quite enough to destroy life. Cyanide of potassium was used by soldiers to clean the gold work about their clothes.. . _ _ In defence the prisoner made the following statement. He met the prosecutrix on the evening in question in ac cordance with a previous arrangement, and after they had walked for some distance be went into a chemist's shop and purchased some cyanide of poteasiam. They after wards proceeded to the Albentarle,Audley-street,where he ordered a pint of ale. They had drank it all bat a small glassful, when he (the prisoner) put in the ayaonide of potassium. He pad it in boldly, so that she could gee, as he wanted to frighten her by making believe that he was going to poison himself. The potman, it was true, bad said he wanted to murder the woman, but she knew getter than that. In fact the next Light he had seen her, and she had promised to marry him. W hen they parted they kissed each other very affectionately, and promised to write daily. Nothing was further from his thoughts than to poison the woman or him self. All he wanted was I. frighten her. Justice Bylee summed up at some length, and said it certainly d id appear a strange thing, if the prisoner wanted to poison the prosecutrix, that be should obtain the poison in her presence, and afterwards attempt to administer it in a public bar-room. The jury expressed a wish to leave the court to consider their verdict. After being absent for about an hour, the jury returned into court ' • and the foreman stated that they could not agree upon their verdict, and that he saw no chance of their doing so. The Judge said that u thin was only • misdemeanant., he should not order them to be locked up all night. The learned judge than asked the prisoner whether he desired the jury to be discharged. By legal advice the prisoner said he did. Judge—Then I shall order you to he set at liberty. I shall make no order for • further trial, but proceedings can at any time be taken out against you. Gentlemen of the jury, you are discharged. I don't wish to know the exact number, but I believe the majority is in favour of the pet. goner ; but if anyone think. fit to take proceedings out afresh, they can do so, but I shall make no order except that he be discharged. The prisoner immediately quitted the dock, when he was arrested by the military as • deserter. John Hetherington, 40, grocer, was charged with uttering a forged order for the payment of 28/. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. Williams defended. The jury Acquitted the juisorter. • Patrick Leach, 17, was brought up for judgment. The learned judge, after commenting upon the ebormity of the crime of which he bad been convicted (of assaulting his owe father with intent to do grievous bodily burin), sea. Wooed him to he kept in penal servitude for three years. (Before the Recorder) - John Glynn, 32:butla ; Elizabeth Glynn, 32, married; and Elizabeth Wheeler, GO, spinster ; were iudieted together upon • charge, the two former of stealing, and the latter of receiving, well knowing them to be stolen, a large quantity of jewellery and other articles of the value of 50/.. the pro- perty of John Bragg. Mr. thffarl prosecuted; Mr. Collins defended Wheeler; and Mr. Besley defended the female Glynn. The case lasted a considerable time, but the brief fact. are these. It appeared that the two prisoners Glynn ob tained situations at the prosecutor's as footman and cook respectively. In the first instance they procured a false character from the woman Wheeler, who kept a lodging. house, nod stated that they had been in one gentlenise's service for above 18 months. Taking advantage of the absence of his master, the male prinooer oo the 13th October ateowided with a large amount of property, value over 501,, • terosiderable portion of which was afterwards found in the possession of the two female,. The jury found the whole of the prisoners Guilty, sod the Recorder sentenced each of the women to 12 months' im prisonment. With regard to the male prisoner, be was sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for the space of eight yews. (Before the Common Serjeant.) Catherine Andrew, a goal looking young woman of the class koowo as unfortunate, was indicted for stealing swatch, value 41., the property of William Thomas, from hi. rerwre. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty and numerous former oonvictioos for watch robberies weir proved against her, the last term of imprisonment she bad undergone being of 18 months duration. The Common Serjeant, in passing seeteoos, remarked that this was one of the worst crises that had come before him for some time. It was bed enough when these robberies were committed by females alone, but the o ff ence was greatly aggravated by the fact that the prisoner had been emitted by no less than three bullies, who at her signal rushed forward to aid and eaaivt iu her act of spoliation. It wee manifest she was an old offender, or she would not already have undergone 18 months' imprisonment. She was • moat dangerous person, mid the sentatioe upon Ler was that she be kept an penal servitude fur the term of fire yens. John Murphy, who was acquitted on the previous day of embezzling divan small sums of mosey received by him as collector to the tininess of the Royal Liver Friendly Society, was again put on hie trial on another indictment, &saying him with • similar often. Mr. Metcalfe (with whom WM Mr. Abel) again appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Daly for the defence. After a long inquiry, which comprised an examination of accoante which would be incompreheosible in a narrative, the jury returned a verdict of Ouillp, accompanied with a 'twos( recommendation to mercy on account of the prisoner's previous good character. Mr. Metcalfe intimated to the court that he was instructed by the prosecutors to join in that recommendation. The Common Serjeant said that but for the recommenda tion both by the jury and the prosecutors he should have passed a much severer sentence than that which be was about to pronouns, and which was that the prisoner be kept to hard labour is the House of Correction for the awe of six calendar mouth& George Hinsood, • respectably attired young man de scribed in the calendar as a barman, was indicted for ate:ding the sum of de., the moneys of James Forster, his master and employer.

Policeman Bicknell. P 67, stated that about two o'clock that morning he found the defeedaet Micklethweite drunk outside the door of Evans's supper rooms in Covent. garden. He proceeded to remove Mr. Mick Whereto, who resisted him and whams was obliged to procure the aid of three other constables in order to remove him. On the way to the station Mr. Bloomfield laid his hand on witness's shoul der, and said, " Yoe shall not take that gentleman to the station." Mr. Mieklethwaite was, however, taken to the station, and Bloomfield, who bad followed all the wai l; Je w: taken into custody at the etatioc•house door. Mr. Bloom field did not appear to be the worse for liquor. Mr. Ificklethwaits contended that he was not intoxicated ; and Mr. Bloomfield said he oily interfered because he thought the police were using too much violence. Mr. Henry said that a drunken man often resisted with pest violence, and it required some force to remove him. Bystanders were very apt to believe that the police used too mace violence, but if they thought so the proper course was to report such conduct to the authorities, acid not to interfere with the constables, who could not tell whether such interference proceeded from a good or a bad motive. He should fine Mr. Mickletheraita ss. for being drank, and Mr. Bloomfield 20a. for interferiag with the polies in the execution of their duty. The fines were paid. MARY LEBON Belrani Cristojeri, a young orgsn ---- grinder, visa cited to appear before Mr. Mansfield, to answer a couple of stun. mouser for offences alleged to have been committed 2 ..i . lts r e ea the 19th and 26th ult.—" for that he did refuse to from the neighbourhood of a certain home belonging to Mr. Babbage, No. 1. Donet.etmet, Mancheaternquare, after being requested to desist playing on a certain instrument." A fter the facts of the case had been stated, . . . Mr. Babbage said that for nearly twelve months be had not brought any one before the court, but he must say that during that time he had been meet grievously ioco•- veoienced. To state within the truth he had bees disturbed no lees than 100 times whilst at his work, and had gone from Ids house to order the men away. The people in the neighbourhood encouraged the men in their ways. He could not, hang, go along the streets now without being insulted by persons living io the neigh hourhnod. Ile was celled after when he went about. It had become a regular nuisance to him. The evidence being interpreted to the defendant, Mr. Mansfield said—lt does seem to CM that this gentle man is subjected to a very great persecution. It is to be hoped that such a course of persecution as he endures sa a scientific man is not mentioned in any foreign newspaper ; for, if so, it would be degrading to the population of this oountry. These men are setae to annoy and team by a set of ill-conditioned people. As for the insults that this gentleman is subjected to in the streets, it seems impossible that people era be found so boorish and so brutal as to carry on each practices. Mr. Babble's ia engaged on works that • class of people like these have no conception of. When I heard the evidence first I had my doubes whether the defendant could be deemed culpable. From the evidence given it appears that he (defendant) really acted maliciously, and therefore I shall show him no indulgence. I shall order him to p►y a penalty of 20e. and costs upon each summons. Before the van came, the money, 445., was paid.

All engaged in the trade have been exceedingly quiet, sad have refrained from doing husinees. Very little wool has changed hands. There is no doubt viol might be obtained on easier terms, though staplers generally are not anxious to part with their stocks. These remarks with regard to wool have also almost au equal application to worsted yarns. The utmost quietness prevails. The quotations of spinners are somewhat lower, but as most of them are well em ployed they are little inclined to make any concession. Business in the piece trade has been quiet the whole of the week, and very little has transpired to-day needing remark. Our home merchant■ are preparing to take stock, and are consequently chary in their operations, whilst the export houses are equally inactive. There has been very little improvement of late in the plain trade ; nothing, indeed, to an extent to make any decided increase in the demand is any quarter, aud though some manufacturers are still tolerably buoy, the majority are beginning to be anxious for fresh orders. Prices are not as firm as they were, and orisons, coburge, serges, or lasting, may be bought to-day a trifle below the recent highest quotations. LACE AND HOSIERY.—NOTTINCRAM, Dec. 3.--In creased stringency in the money market timidly canna a fall in the prices of cotton. The heavy contracts, however, which spinners are under to their customers prevent any lower quotations being made for yarn, and its price is still a matter of the greatest possible uncertainty. Reports are diverse as to the lace trade during the last week, many houses are taking stock, and they report a more quiet state of affairs, stating also that there is not so much doing (or the oontieent nor the United States. Os the other hand, houses more exclusively convected with the home markets speak more favourably, sod say that foe nearly all classes of goods, there is still a fair inquiry. Is the hosiery trade likewise, the improvement noticed in our two previous reports has been well maintaiued both for the home trade and for shipping.

Staffordshire pig iron has sd. mooed 5.. per ton this week ; and the demand for finialsof iron is such that a rise upon it is regarded as certain. Con sumers say that the ironmasters are "running gild," and no doubt it would be in the highest degree imprudent to push up the price of iron unduly ; but whatever of &OWL tion and excitement pow prevaiL is caused by the pressing demand ; how long this will °outruns is depandeot upon cit.. cumstances to occur hereafter.
