A brutal attack way made on Friday last at the residence of a very respectable couple, Mr. F'airley and his wile, nausea of Scotland. Mr. Fairley has been a farming bailiff in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire for many years, and has truly had the ni augment of large farms, the property of It. 11. Hussey, and lives at the Hol born Farm. situate about a mile from Upwood, and about the same distance from Wiston and Great Rawly. About eleven o'clock on the night of Friday, the 23th inst., Mr. Fairley heard footages near his house ; he im mediately wised his lire-arms (a horse pistol and a revolver), and told the rubbers, whom he saw theosigh his bedroom window, that he would shoot them if they attempted to enter. The robbers immediately smashed the shutters and glass of the parlour window, and also the bark door. Mr. Fairley stationed himself at his bedroom door, at the top of the stairs, and waited the ap proach of tne robbers, who had now got lights, and seemed very cautious. Mr. Fairley aimed at one with his hone pistol, which unfortunately missed fire. Ile then took his revolver, wh . he gut sight of any of the robbers, fired at them, and they in return fired at him. Mr. Fairley fought the ribber, for upwards of an hour,his wife eneouragior him by tellinr him repeatedly to " take steady aim;" the rubbers being foiled in their at empt to get up stain, procured a quantity of straw and articles 01 ferni tem which they laid in the tutting at the bottom of the stairs, to which the y set fire, s Hattie; the side doors su as to forte the smoke up the stairs. Mrs. Fairley now opened the windows of the bed-room to allow the smoke to escape, and when doing so received a violent blow on the heed from a stage. When nearly suffeicatul, Mr. and Mrs. Fair ley surrendered. There were five rubbers in the house, anal other, were heard outside; they were all masked, and were stoned with four guns anal three horse-pistols. After Mr. and Mrs. Fairley surrendered they received several violent blows. The robbers ransacked the house, broke open drawers and boxes, scattered about linen and wearing apparel, and destroyed furniture, glass, earthenware, eat aidee, and drinkablee. 'navy afterwards regaled them selves with bread and meat and cheese. Mr. Fairley told them where to find a bottle of good Scotch whiskey, and invited them to partake freely of other spirits; they left about three o'clock in the morning, when Mr. I. airley gave the alarm at Upwoud, and farmers and others were soon scouring the country in all directions. Near daylight two of the farm labourers discovered two of the robbers asleep in a ditch about half a mile from the house, with three guns by their side and some of Mr. Fairley's wearing apparel upon them. They were drunk, and smelt strongly of whiskey. They were taken off to St. lees lock-uphouse for examination this day. It is hur t that the whole of the robbers will soon be in custody. floe missing article, are two watches, silver plate, consisting of table, &sett, and tea-spoons, &c., marked T. F., and nearly If. in cash. The windows and doors of the house are at complete wrack, and the plaster on the walls riddled with shot and bullets. NAVAL PROMOTION.—ADMIRALTY, OCT. 25.—Car pester: H.

Since the latter year he had served in the Went Indies and on the coast of Africa, and this was his second tone of duty on the unhealthy stations of the Africen coast. SIXTH DRAGOON GUARDS (CARABINEER.S—We have reason to believe (says the Sara! and Jlilitary Gazette) some arrangements hate been decided on, altering the Gth Dragoon Guards from heavy to light cavalry; indi cating, we presume, an intention of employing this regi ment on foreign service. (This is the Me, and we have since ascertained that orders have been actually sent to this regiment to prepare for foreign duty; its destination is, however, nut specitied, although it is now believed the 6th Dragoon Guards will proceed to India, and ultimately effect the relief of the 3rd Light Dragoons, the first Queen's cavalry regiment on the list to return home.—En.

THE ENSUING MICHAELMAS TERM.-011 Satur day appeared the list of arrears of the Court of Com mon eteis containing only " two " matters, and making, with the tither common law courts, the arrears to number only 66 rules. Thu arrears of the Court of Chancery are in a very ddlercnt state, numbering about one thousand. The Lord Chancellor will regulate the sittings of the appeal judges, and they are expo:toil to sit in the court used by his Honour Knight Bruce, now one of the Lords Justices. • • • PRISONS ix BccrrLsun.—An net was passed in the late session to amend certain acts for the improvement of prisons and prison discipline in Scotland. The appoint ment of the Lord Justice and the Lord Justice clerk, on the general board of directors of prisons in Scotland, is re pealed. Criminal offenders, not above Ii years, may be privately whipped. It is provided that a sentence of im prisonment may be accompanied by hard labour, and rules in respect thereof arc to be approved of by the Secretary of State. I.tr.cti.t.ocs ESCAPE ntom DEATn.—One of the most remarkable escapes, that has ever come to our know ledge occurred on the evening of mr ed a cal& y, the loth instant, on the South Yorkshire Railway, near Doncaster. A young man name., Cartmell is engaged as a clerk on this railway, and his office adjoins the Little Moor Outgang, when the rids cross the line from the Balby-road to that of Mexthorpe ; and, as the accident shows au extraordinary instance of the pmwrvation of life, we cannot do better than give his own version of it, and that of Samuel For tune, the gate-keeper at the Cherry-lane Junction. Mr. Coalmen, in answer to our inquiry, said—" I was giving instructions to the driver of the tout-engine, about hall-past eight o'clock in the evening—it was the shunting engine. I was beckoning it forward in the usual manlier by my hand-lamp. The driver was shunting from No. 2 line to No. 4 siding, which is neat to the main line. I stepped into the main line again to signal him on, so as to get him over the points of No. 2to No. G. Whilst I was so occupied Mr. Barnes, another clerk, called out, • There's the Barnsley train coining,' or something to that effect. I looked up and down, but I saw no light and beard no engine, probably arising from the coal engine being NO near me. As won as Mr. Barnes had warned me, I ran in the direction where' he was standing, and in the attempt I was struck by the buffer of the tender on my left arm, and was, as I thought, turned completely round. My right arm caught the draw bar hook, which fastened itself between the shoulder and the elbow. I was so stunned that I was momentarily un conscious of my dangerous position. I was aroused by ob serving the light of the junction signal. I then had_w recovered from my fright, and I shouted Hold on.' But it was evident that the sound of the whistle completely drowned my voice, as it was not heard either by the driver or the guard. began to despair and ex pectedcur,. moment to be dashed to pieces. The sus pense I experienced, lunging is it were between life and death for nearly Ulla mile, is more than I can describe " Happily, however, far Mr. Cartmell, his voice was heard by Samuel Fortune ; fur he remarkr—" I heard the mound of a voice as the train was approaching ; and I knew from the cries that some one hat got entangled with the machinery. I instantly exhibited the red signal which was to stop the train, holding it up as high as I could. The driver, Forkinaton, seeing the red light, with remarkable quickness reversed the engin" and brought the train to a stand. I then advanced to the front, where the sound seemed to have come from, exppsecetitiaegg to see a mangled body; but, to my great e.tonLLmeet, I recognised Mr. Cartmell in front entangled in the coupling chain. His body appeared to be twisted together, and his head was inclining near one of the wheels. With the aminance of • helper we gut him unfastened from his =l.lsposition, and at once conveyed him to the gate and, as soon as he was able to be removed, he was taken to his lodgings at Miss Millner's, near the Shakepere's Beni." Mr. Lister, surgeon, was immediately sent for, and was soon in attendance, administering all the surgical aid that the case required. These plain tans of the widest sufficiently show that it is one of the most marvellous and narrow napes that posably could occur ; and had it not been foe the penance of mind of the gate-keeper at Cherry-lane, it seems more than Probable that it must have proved fatal. Indeed, his com panions, Mr. Green and Mr. Barnes, knowing his position at the time, and Dania; his cap sad lamp at the very point where he was struck, moved slow) al ong the line with their lamps in search of him, oaticipat every moment to find him dead. But to their great &Lig t, they Innis that Mr. Cartmell had only received a seven shock, and that an in cud wound had been made in one of kis arms. The train was going at the rote of from fifteen to sixteen miles an hour —Doncaster Gana. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Devon Ma. Ommusiorma 806110214 Ix as MA616016. This was the certificate meeting in the ease of W. R. Mown, auctioneer, of Southampton. This balance-idlest, gwepared by Mr. butler, of basinghal.l-street, extended ever theee.years and nine months prior to the failure in April Wt. sad showed a sum of 1,5711, due to unsecured creili tan, and 1,6591. to mortgage creditors (the latter covered by property estimated at 1,95 W.). The aeons were estimated at 1901. Profits, 6181.; rents received, 6881.; expenses, ; losses, 5441. Messrs. Legh and Pemberton, for the assignees, offered ne opposition. Kr. Wainwright, in support of the bankrupt's applica tions, stated that the failure had arisen in a great measure from the depreciation of property at Southampton, and from the falling off in his trade. His principal business had been selling for the sheriff, but the county courts had decreased that business to a very great extent ; and within the last two years another sheriff had been appointed, who, being of different polities from the bankrupt, had employed his own auctioneer. Thus the bankrupt had lest the whole of his trade which arose from the sales of the sheriff. His principal loses bad arisen from law costs, to which he was put in defending an action, in which he was unsuccessful, also from depredation in his stock and property. As his losses bad arisen almost entirely from niivortunes it was submitted that he was entitled to a second class certificate. His Honour, after looking through the proceedings, said he thought the bankrupt entitled Wan immediate certificate of the second elms. Ix as COCILEKILL. The bankrupt, Samuel Cuckerill, of Mercer's•row, North amptonshire, applied for his certificate. 11,s debts were 2,5191.; ; assets in good debts and property, 41151. The profits in two years and three months had been 9461.; trade expellees, 1,2491.; house and personal ditto, 5951.; losses, 6731.; deficiency at the commencement of the account., 3971. Mr. Lawrence supported. Mr. bred imposed, for the assignees, on the ground that the bankrupt had gone on trading when hopelessly insol vent, and that his expenditure had largely execrated his profits, At the commencement of the hitance-sheet, 30th January, 1819, ho had been nearly 400/. deficient. This was the result of a stuck-taking at the time ; and it ought to have made him doubly careful in his transactions. In stead of that, his expenditure had been double the amount ter profit!, putting out of sight the 6731. of losses. There were law charges to the amount of 3041., which had arisen from staving off his creditors from time to time; while the amount paid as interest and discount was IBM Another item, found under the bead of losses, was 385/., as loss on forced sales under execu tion. These three items gave a very intelligible view of the nature of the bankrupt's trading. lie ought to have ceased tradiuy lung ago. Bat he had the credit of having sigued a declaration of insolvency as soon as ho was re quested to do so by the creditors, whereby property to the extent of about 2001. had been saved from execution ; and since the bankruptcy lie had done all in his power to assist is winding up his estate, and had nut made any attempt at concealment. The assignees were desirous that these cir cumstances should bo taken into conaideratiou. Mr. Lawrence said it ought also to be stated that the bankrupt had kept his books remarkably well—a proof mat he was an honest man, though he might be a mistaken or imprudent one. Had the creditors earlier suggested a bankruptcy ho would probably have acceded to it. lie had been in business since 1835, and had paid his way up to the time of his failure. His deficiency to January, 1849, was not so large but that he might have hoped to sun mount it. A part of his debts were due to relatives, who had forborne tnem ha some time, and the bankrupt had treated them as capital. It was true his trading had linos been unfortunate, principally on account of the sums ex pended in defending actions and for iute, , st. Taking oat these expenses, his profits would have nearly balanced his regular expenditure.. lie might flat orally have ob jected to wind up his affairs by bankruptcy, know ing that that would very much diminish the amount for distribution among his creditors. He had, however, come to the court the moment the creditors desired it. It was a strong circumstance in his favour that he had made no attempt to account for his unexplained deficiency by putting fictitious items in his balance-sheet. His Honour said it was unfortunate for tile bankrupt, whose conduct had he.n so straightforward since his failure, that he should before that time have conducted himself dif ferently. However much disposed the court might be to weigh the favourable circumstances, the fact could not be overlooked that'he had for a Wag time beenairessed by exe cutions, some of them fur very small sums; and if he could not meet these small claims what chance was there of his going on ? Ile ought at once to have taken the opinion of his creditors as to whether it was proper for him to go on. His bankruptcy had evidently aris' eu from improperly con tinuing his trade, and making large sacrifices. Ile might not have looked on the debts of his relatives in the wane light as other debts; but unless relatives would agree to curry a man through, by not enforcing their claims, he was relsing on a broken reed. The case was not one for an im mediate certificate; he might have a second-class certificate at the end of six mouths, with protection in the mean time. S. Pd.

The above court resumed Its sittings to-day, pursuant to adjournment, with the usual formalities. There were pre sent at tke opening of the court : the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Sir J. Duke, Moon, and Carden; Meters. Swift and Cotterell, the newly-appointed Sheriff+, and their deputies, Messrs. Millard and Hop need, &e. &c. There are 116 prisoners at present fur trial. The Re corder, in his charge to the grand jury, said that the cases in the calendar all appeared to be of the ordinary descrip tion, and there was only one that would require any obser vation from him to guide the grand jury in disposing of it. Although a considerable period had elopes! .-ince the last adjournment, be was happy to say that the number of pri soners was not greater than ordinary ; and he was justified in stating that although there were undoubtedly several serious charges in the calendar, yet that upon the whole it might be taken as a light calendar. It was to be regretted that there were a consieh table number of cases of infliction of personal injury, and it would probably be the duty of the court to indict severe punishment upon the parties who were convicted of this offence, in order that it might repressed; but he feared that punishment would nut alone have this effect; but that this result could only he looked for by an improvement in the moral condition of the lower classes, and by the further spread of education. His lordship then called the attention of the grand jury to a charge against a man of having feloniously assault d his own child, a girl under ten years of age, and he explained that with reference to such a charge the consent or non-consent of the prosecutrix made no difference in the case, and he con cluded by dismissing the grand jury to the performance of their duties. 17 19 ►5 dl. 3 $j dls 39 31 et 84 et. db JPin 131 14 13 13i 11 9 a aJ 41, maim II 10 7 e II 12 12sl 14 L d.. 2 2 1111 4 3 Of Be 12 'it di' 15 15 dig THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM-SIIIP AFRICA, Cap tain Ryrie, which sailed from Liverpool for New York at 11 O'clock on Saturday morning, returnee' to Liverpool at 7 o'clock this morning, having been ashore on the Copeland Rocks, off Belfast.

Mining business during the week, - as we-antici pated would be the case at this season, has been characterised by more activity, and the market 'altogether wears a healthier appearance. An encouraging feature is the more equable dif fusion of business over the various classes of mines, though of course dividend shares continue most prominently to command attention. Foreign mining, however, has engaged the largest amount of notice, the last fortnightthiving witnessed the start ing of no less than four companies (as noticed at various times in the columns of the Doily News) to work the gold quartz mines of California, with an aggregate capital of 350,0001., and enterprise in this direction is not yet by any means satisfied, as other projects are known to be in course of preparation. Australian gold mining is also attracting the atten tion of another portion of the mining community, and one company with a capital 60,000/. has already issued its prospectus to a "discerning public." Mean while, with great activity prevailing in all the branches of home mineral enterprise, there is yet en couragement afforded for tho prosecution of mining in the sister island. The great resources of Ireland in this respect are beginning to be more fully appreciated. and from various quarters we bear 4iniultineoudy of the actual or projected commencement of operations. At Kilbarry (county Cork) a lease has been taken, and the works are bring entered upon with much spirit, under the superintendence of Mr. Henry Thomas, manager of the Crookhaven Mining Company of Ireland. At the Crookhaven mines operations are stated to be progressing vigorously and satisfac torily, and during the last fortnight 1001. worth of rich copper ore has been raised. A company is also in course of org a nization with a view to work ing some mines in the neighbourhood of the cele brated Wicklow copper mines. On the whole mining enterprise may be said to be in a very active state just at present, with so many undertakings offering both at home and abroad, and with the exercise of due caution and discrimination on the part of the managers of tho various new schemes, hopes may very readily be en tertlined that in the majority of cases the results to those who embark in them will be of a beneficial character, the more especially as in the projects now submitted to public favour there does not appear any chance of the shareholders being subjected to sue heavy losses as have attended the prosecution of some foreign mining adventures, and by which the public mind has become imbued with a kind of preju dice against this particular department of mining en terprise.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning last, about 10 o'clock, as Thomas Sergeant, the farmer at Til berthwaite farm, about four miles north of Coniston, was in search of a sheep that had strayed from a small flock he had in an enclosure, near to his house, he was led in search thereof to enter a slate quarry, not now wrought, called the Old Close Hill, situate in the said enclosure, and belonging to Mr. Marshall, of Leeds, when his atten tion was attracted by seeing a hat laying therein, and on looking round he was greatly shocked by discovering the body of a well dressed man, lying dead among the frag ments of rock and debris, at the bottom of the quarry, hay inz apparently fallen into it from the heights above, and en killed. Mr. Sergeant immediately returned to his own hour.', and having informed his family, he and some of them straightway returned to the place, when the body was recognised by the servant boy . as that of Mr. William Fleming, tailor and draper, of Coniston. Ile was straight way borne to My Sergeant's, and a messenger imme diately despatched to Coniston, to inform his friends of the melancholy occurrence. The day before he had been led to visit the village of Elterwater in the way of business, and, having transacted this, had returned a little after S o'clock by the way of Lit tle Langdale, with a Wm. Flem ing of that place, baying called with him at his house, and had some refreshments. The night being extremely dark and stormy, they pressed him to stay overnight, but he would not consent, on the ground that ho had not in formed his family of his probable stay, and that he knew the road perfectly well. A lodger thereupon proposed to show him the way round by the " Slater' s Bridge with a light (tho usual ford over the Brathay by the way of Fitz Steps being impassable from the heavy rains that had fallen), and having done so, and come down with hint as far as opposite this ford, they bade each other good night, he being then on the direct road home, though five miles distant. An offer of the lanthern he declined, saying that he could then do very well. This was the last that was seen of him living, and between this point and where he was found dead would be abuut a mile,—the road being little more than a cart track, winding through patches of coppice and rough pasture, beneath and among the Tilberthwaite Slat* Quarries. Those who were out that night, will remember how wet and stormy it was at times, and of more than pitchy darkness, even in the plain country, and here surrounded as the road is, by overhanging mountains and woods, he could not but have experienced exceeding difficulty in finding his way along the devious track up to the point, where the deplorable accident had occurred. There the road lay along the ex treme brink of the deep and yawning quarry mentioned, undermining the rune, and veiled, but not protected by a fringe of slender brushwood,'with here and there a tree of somewhat larger growth, and presenting an appearance at any time sufficient to make the stoutest an heart shudder. He had crossed, however, this part of the road, but about midway along the suarry it diverges to the right between overhanging trees, in the direction of Tilberthwaite houses, and it appears that instead of turning therewith he hail gone straightforward through an open place in the road side, and along the edge of the quarry, some 40 or 60 rfrom the path. Memory of the road alone, no u d b a t, being his only guide, for owing to the darkness of the night, as was said before, made even more so, if pos sible, by the nearer proximity of the mountains, he could but have groped his way, as it were, all along. Whether he had found that he had got out of the path by coming in contact with the bushes that grew here and there, and was endeavouring to find it, or was unconscious thereof when he walked over the overhanging precipice and was dashed to pieces cannot be said. He was sadly mutilated when found, one leg being broken in three places, the other also, and one arm broken, besides having his scull fractured in different places , with other wound s .—Kendal Mercury. CHURCH RTES.—A correspondent informs us that the forced levy of this vexatious impost is just now (not for the first time) causing a deal of excitement in the town of Bridgenorth.

Two o'CLocx. The English stock market to-day has shown even more firmness than was noticed at the end of last week, and with a steady business for invest ment offering, and some scarcity of Consol stock, prices aro quoted at a rise of over and above the advance of established on Saturday, so that the present range of the market presents a total rise of per cent. as com with that which ruled last Monday. As the purc hases on government account will be resumed to-morrow, and will doubtless be con tinued with the customary regularity throughout the week, prices may be expected to continue buoyant. A feature of the market at the pre sent period is, that Consols show the upward movement more sensibly than any other stock, a strong disposition having been evinced to sell out of the other home securities and invest in this. Some considerable sums, invested in the Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., have recently been transferred into Consols. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 97a to have to-day ruled firm at 97i to Z 'both for cash and the 12th Nov:, The official prices of the day's l transactions aro as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, 971, ditto for aoooliat, 971, I Th om par i; I Cent. Reduced, 97, ,1-; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 1. Long Annuities, 1860, 7; ditto thirty years, 1669. GI. Bank Stock, 2143, 214. This last-named security maintains its high position in the favour of investors, and even shows a tendency to a further improvement, though at the price of 214; and taking the dividend at an average rate of 7 1 ,- per cent. per annum, it yields only 3; per cent. on an in vestment, being only some 84. percent more than is yielded by the Three per Cents. Reduced at present prices. Bank Stock, however, is further supported, from the consideration of the position which it con fers ou a holder. Exchequer Bills continue to meet with inquiry at 51s. to 5,8. prem., being the improved range of Sa turday, and which shows a rise of 9s. during the last fortnight. India Bonds are not so largely dealt in ; the smaller-sized bonds have been sold at 60s. premium. The foreign stock market has been almost deserted, half a dozen isolated bargains forming the entire business. Prices remain nominally as before, the absence of business exercising no depressing influence in view of the upward movement in the home values. Spanish Three per Cents. were rather better, and Venezuelan llonds remain firm. Mexicans, on the other hand, arc fiat, little disposition being manifested to support the market, the more especially as it is knownt hat many parties could take advantage of any partial rise to get out of their stock, so little confidence is felt in Mexican affairs,' financially or politically. The bargains of the morn ing arc limited to: Mexican Bonds, for account, 31st October, 261. Portuguese Four per Cents., 33. Sardinian Scrip, 3 dis. Spanish Three per Cents., 39. Venezuela Two-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 33.1. SATURDAY EVENING. Discount for first-rate bills may be had at 21 to 2„ per cent., the Bank of England rate ranging higher. There is much surplus money and considerable in vestments in Exchequer Bills. The question is being constantly asked will the Bank directors reduce their rate, for unless they do they will lose the best business in the discount market, and there is nothing else particularly good now offering for the invest ment of their spare funds, English stocks and secu rities being high. The Bank is not altogether so anxious for extending operations in the discount market, as the payment of the dividends has partially reduced the disposable surplus. Large supplies of bullion are no longer expected from the United States, but there will be the usual arrivals by the West India mails, and there is some expectation of imports from France, where the state of affairs is favourable for such operations. The bul lion of the Bank, which had passed the enormous amount of 25,000,0001., has in the last fortnight de creased nearly 400,0001., a decrease no longer attri butable to the payment of dividends and salaries. The Bank of France returns for the week ending Thursday, the 23rd of October, show the follow ing results (25 francs for 1/.) : Bullion Bullion on deposit Circulation Public deposits 9,599,642 Decrease .... 351 ; 501 Private deposits 6,205,100 Inertas.2, .... 200,638 Bills discounted 3,781,128 lhereasc .... 48,239 Government sceuritit s 7,070,209 Decrease .... 7.2'27 The returns of the National think of Sardinia to the 13th inst., are as follows: E 739,10 0 Discounts 1.0M,032 Circulation Public deposits 102,020 Private depohita The total amount of the precious metals exported direct from London, during the week ending Thurs day last, was inconsiderable. The amount of gold coin was : to the Mauritius, 2,000/. Of silver coin : to Rotterdam, .1,000 oz. ; to Boulogne, 5,880 oz. Silver bars: to Boulogne, 1,7120 z.; to Rotterdam, 10,000 oz. This gives a total of 2,000!. in gold, and 21,592 ounces of silver, of the aggregate value of only 7,400/. An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the United Kingdom for the lust week, published by Ilerapath's Journal, shows the total receipts on 6,406 miles to be 304,881!., or equal to 4 71. 10s. per mile per week. In the corresponding week of last year the amount was 270,3641. on 6,178 miles, or 431. per mile per week. There is thus an increase of 34,5171., or 12.77 per cent. in the aggregate receipts, an increase of 228 miles, or 3.69 per cent., in the mileage, and an increase of 4/. 10s. in the amount received per mile per week. The Railway Times estimates the total receipts since the Ist July at 5,237,3121., which, on 6,257 miles, gives an average of 837/. Os. 71d. per mile ; and as the return for the corresponding period of 1830 was 4,405,2181. on 5,931 miles, or 740/. 1 ls. 8 Id. per mile, the difference is shown to be in favour of the present year to the extent of 961. he. 110. per mile.

Trade is ex ceedingly heavy, and very low prices are submitted to. The York Regents arrived so late in the week that none have yet been sold, therefore we cannot quote the price.

The supply of Sheep is short : buyers are very unwilling to advance, owing to the state i I the dead markets during the pest week. However, tho number being small, prices generally are better. There is a brisk trade for good Calves, but prices are very little better.

A RAILWAY ENGINE ENCOUNTERED BY A BULL.— On Thursday night an engine, with a long train of empty carriages, was travelling between Loughborough and Derby, when the engine-driver suddenly perceived a bull, with head down and tail erect, on the line, rushing with hot haste to charge the approaching engine. The darkness of the night had prevented the driver from perceiving the suutailant until the engine was close upon him, and a ter rific shock followed. Several of the empty carriages were thrown off the line, but the weight of the engine preserved it from such a discomfiture. The bull, which was a furious animal, and had long been the terror of the parish of Nor manton, was literally knocked to pieces. The line was blocked for some hours, but a telegraphic despatch to Derby brought up a etrong body of labourers, and the car riages were then soon replaced on the line. —Derbyshire Courier. ABERDEEN RAILWAY.—The directors' report, to be presented to the half-yearly meeting on Thursday next, states that the total sum received up to the 31st of July was 1,521,5621., and the total sum expended 1,660,5011.104.71 d.. leaving a balance at the debit of capital of 138,939/. 10s. 60., being 50,4031. 2s. fkl. less than the ba lan= exhibited in last account. The revenue for the six months embraced in the accounts had fallen short of What was anticipated. The total revenue for the half-year amounted to 35,2371. 13s. 10ed., being 1,6641. 33. 41d. above that for the previous half-year, exclusive of the sum received from other companies, amounting to 870/., making the actual increase for the half-year, 2,534/. The increase had almost entirely been upon the goods traffic, the in crease from passengers being only 103/. 16a., while there was a decrease in the sum entered as received for the con veyance of mails of 9501. 178.11 d. The increase in the re venue had not been in proportion to the increase in the number of passengers the average sum received per pas senger being about lid. less than for the preceding half year. This is accounted for by the reduction of the fares to London, and the encouragement of cheap excursion trains.
