WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRraroy Avavar 15. (Melon Mr. Justice Willis.) '.L¢ T. BTOGDIVI.- . SPOCIAL AMT. This ranee, which the learned judge admitted was owe of the most extraordinary that had ever come betters him, washed an unwonted amount of interest—the court being firmly crowded throughout the day, and up to the late boar of night at which it terminated. Ladies were requested $e withdraw. _ . . Coreridge, QC., and Mr. Stock were for the plaintiff ; Kiaraleke, QC., and Mr. Montague Bere for the dishoos. _ _ The damages were laid at 2,0001. Mr. Stock opened the pleadings. Mary Leak was the t otiff, and Robert Stogdeo the defendant. The declare that the defendant had spoken metre slanderous worde an 7tte plaintiff, imputing to her that she had allowed Lim to have criminal intercourse with her ; that cease gamily she hail lest position in society, and one Elias Fide lity had refused to marry her. The defetelant pleaded the general issue, and also that the words spoken were true ;and es those pleas issue was joined. Mr. Coleridge said the action was brought by Miss Mazy Luck, the plaintiff, against • person named Stogdeo for im peace to her that which to a modest woman was the most gruel imputation he could east upon her—that on repeated occasions she had acted unchastely with him. If anything could add to the unmanliness, the bearer, and the cowardice of the defendant's cooduct, it was the fact of his having been on terms of long intimacy with the plaintiff, cod having been engaged to marry her. Miss Leek was a young lady of about 25 or 26 parrot age ; lie w as a fatherless girl, and lived with her widowed soother, a lady who had carried on a farm in Devooshire, but who had now retired and lived at Topsham. The defen dant Stogden was a person of some 11/ years of sge, who lived in the same place, and who carried on the brines of • firmer. An intimacy commenced between them, and in 1868 he became engaged to be married to Mon Leak, and the courtship was continued tall • time in 1862, when it was koken off. The defender had taken to habits of intoxim =sod he came ou one occasion to the hors of Mee. Leak in that state, and behaved with such violence that Miss Ur sod her mother were compelled to order him out of the Loon and to send for some member of hie family to remove ban. The habits to which the defendant bad taken were woch as most at any time prove fatal to anything like bappi- Sem is • married life, and Mir Leak refused to bre any thing further to do with him. Afterward' a young man in the neighbourhood named Pidgley formed so attachment for Miss Leak, sod became engaged to marry her, and things went on without interruption until the 27th February lase, on which day Mir Leak was in Exeter with her mother, Mr. Pidgley, and • young lady or two, when, as they were walking down the Aigh-street, /Bogdan cameop to them and wished to "peak with the plaintiff. She declined to have anything to do with him, and moved aside, upon which he used the slanderous lan guage complained of —" Now, Polly, I'll expose you ; you hove been the same to me as a wife, sod have laid with me sera of times." Miss Leak was of coarse grestly shocked at this most rano, most foal attack upon her, and she and bee friends moved on. In the afternoon they were at the railway 'trio° for the purpose of returning to Topsham by the train, and the defendant there again iotenupted them, sod attempted to get into the tame train with them. Mr. Pidgley very properly interfered, and pushed him aside, sad he again repeated the same words. Afterwards, upon their arrival at Topsham, he again made his offensive elsrges against the plaintiff. and said to her mother that he was resolved, it words of his could do it, that no one else should marry her. The plaintiff and her friends naturally felt that she could not be allowed to lie under sorb as imputation, and Mr. Flood, their solicitor, wrote to Stogdes, sod called upon him to retract gm slanders he bad uttered and apologies for them. Hs took no erre of the letter, and the present action was matraeoced. What had been the subsequent conduct of the dcfrelant! He had had the audacity to put upon the record • plea of justification, alleging that the words were true. Nothing could be more hue and unmanly than the course which the defendant had pursued. Mies Leak from the commencement had indignantly denied that there was the slightest shadow of • shade of ruodation for the grow slummy urged sgaimt her character, and in order that no doubt or suspicion might remain oti the minds of her friend' or the world, she had at her own request done that which roust have been deeply painful to the feelings of • modest and chaste young lady—she hail submitted herself to • medical euniittatiou, and Dr. Besot, a physician of large practice and high scientific eminence, was in court, sod would date sea hie oath that Miss Leak was ea true a vireo as she was on the day of her birth, and that the slander of the defendant could sot have any foundation in truth. He Led stated that opportunity bad beet given to the defendant to withdraw the calumny, and even now he might, if a spark of manly or correct feeling remained, retract the astounded calumny and make an ample apology. If he did sot it would by-and-by be his (the learned counsel's) duty to address to the jury such language regarding him as his radar so justly warranted. Miss Mary Leek, • pretty and modest-looking young lody, was then called and gave a narrative confirmatory of her conawil's opening. She gave her evidence with a pro priety of demeanour which at once gained her general sym pathy, sad ones or twice she was affected to tears. There was not, she said the heat foundation for what be had said mepecting her. Near on any occasion bad there been im- MP:rintimacy between them ; that she solemnly swore. ogagement with him was broken off in March, 1862, in consequence of his being tipsy and violent and calling her =Other • liar. She had seen his in that star frequently before, and she therefore resolved to break off the match. Mr. Kanlake closely cross-examined the plaintiff and put into her hands some letters written to defendant from Topsham in April, 1862. in which she signed herself "affectionately" his, and proposed places at which she would see him, and io one of which she asked him if they were to part to let them meet sod part as friends. She stated, in expiration, that those letters were in rawer to letters from him, and the meetings proposed to prevent his coming to the house, to which her mother objected. She did meet him at Topsham, but he was not then an affianced lover. They were not to have been married at Lady-day, sad she did not engage a servant named Buck. Was not in the habit of walking with him late at night. He saver nisei in the house but once, on the night of his brother's death. She always slept with her mother. There were always servants in the house. Never sat on a sofa with him after her mother had gone to bed. No doubt she had sat in the roots aloes with him. Had sever been out in a shed with him, or in any place of the kind. He did not manage the farm. liie.ohariotta Leak, the mother, War 31ar7 Hodge, Mr. Maher, a farmer of East Brent. sod Mr. Marks Pit Simard Heavitree, were called ie support of the plaiotiffs Mr..

Mr. Pidgley said he had declined to marry Mime Leak =hal the slander wen cleared up. He had continued his emit on that condition. Dr. Brent, of Woodbury, stated that be bad been in practice twenty y ear, and bad had great experience. and thatlie attended the families of plaintiff and defendant. i.eY Leak had required him to examine her, which be did in the presence of her mother. Was perfectly certain that she bad newer had improper intimacy with any man. Mr. Kerslake called the witnesn's attention to mine re marks in Taylor's evidence ; bat he repeated his entire con fidence in the plaintiff's virginity. Mr. Kerslake then addressed the jury for the defence.

Mr. Hamilton Beckett, 4, Percival-terrace, Brighton, cor roborated the evidence of Captain Campbell. and added that the remarks of the defendant to Captain Campbell attracted the notice of some men drawing a truck, and they began cbaMog. The complainant did not conduct him self in a manner unbecoming a gentleman, Police-constable Walton, C 101, said he saw a brougham in South Audley-street, and some one is it was calling out to the complainant. The complainant gave the defendant in charge for annoying him. At the station the defen dant appeared to be excited. She said she had kept the complainant for years. Inspector Wilson considered that the excitement pro ceeded from drink. Alter a vitae's, whose evidence was immaterial, had been called, Mr. Kerslake summed up his evidence, contending that it afforded ground upon whin° the jury might arrive at a con clusion favourable to the defendant. Mr. tiolei idge replied in a powerful speech, in which he strongly denounced the conduct of the defendant, quotiog. in the course of lus address, the well-known apeech of Emdir iu Shakspeare's Othello, which sods with an Wei- Wiwi to— " Puts whip in every holiest hand, To luh the rascal asked through the l►nd." The speech was received with a loud burst of applause, which the officers of the court found it difficult to repress. The learned judge summed up with great ability, stating that if the jury believed the plaintiff and the evidence of Dr. Brent, and that the defendant bad foully and vilely slandered her, and had made against her a charge which if not disproved must have embittered her life, the jury would thee have to say what sum, if any, could com pensate her for the anguish she had suffered. The jury retired, and at the end of • quarter of an boar returned into court with a verdict fur the plaintiff damages, 601. Mr. Gaud coatended that the cue had not been made out. The complaivant had saluted bea in an offensive manner, and she retaliated. Mr. Koos said, if the case bad been an ordinary we he should have ordered both parties to be bound over to keep the peace, and the costs to be divided. He believed the complainant had kissed his hand in a Jeering manner, and that all the rest followed. Had the complainant really wished to avoid the defendant he could have date so. The summons must be dismissed. Tliesinallneas of the award excited the utmost surprise in court, and an audible murmur ran through the audience, some of whom made remarks anything but complimentary to the juror,. Mr. Justice Willem ordered the defendant to stead for ward, and told him that he stood branded by the verdint of the jury with the crime of wilful and corrupt perjury, and the court had to consider whether it would in the exercise of a power it powered order him to be prosecuted. Had the city of Bristol possessed, as it ought to possess, • crimi nal arsine, and witnesses and prosecutors had cot been put to the inconvenience and expense of going to Gloucester, and instructing fresh mussel there, he certainly would have made that order, and have thrown any weight which the direction of the court might give to it into the prosecution. Seeing, however, the pain to which the plaintiff had already been put, and that she might not like again to parade her great wrongs before a public tribunal, he would leave her to consider the matter. He should, however, order the de fendant to enter into hie own recognisaoma in the sum of BMX to appear at the next Gloucester assize, to answer any indictment which might there be preferred against him. He hoped th►t ere long • second assize would be accorded to Bristol. RE BOUCICAULT. The receimisences were then entered into br Stoqden. and the trial cud with it the assize terminated.

The report to be presented at the half-yearly meeting to be held at the London Tavern, London, on the 24th inst., says :—" The board have great satisfaction in being able to congratulate the proprietary on the pausing of the New Capital Act, which, after surmounting difficulties of unprecedented magnitude, received the royal assent on the 13th of July. To attain the unanimity without which it was impossible to have got the act, the board were obliged to consent to • clause providing that the debenture stock holders (amounting to 134,375/.) should, if they require it, be paid off at par at the expiration of two years from the passing of the act. The directors believe that the loss in volved in this concession cannot be serious, and it cer tainly will be little compared with that which would have attended the final rejection of the bill. Upon reference to the accounts it will be seen that the share capital of the con.pany,when re-adjusted under the new act, and after excluding stock held only in se curity for debts., amounts to 2,982,4131. Ile. fel., all the de beaters debt created since 1852 having by the act been con verted into capital stock. This capita is divided into three classes, viz : clam A. amounting to 2,498,6621. 9s. ; class B, amounting to 191,747/. 9a. Id. ; Ordinary Consolidated 8t0ck,292,003/.13a 4d. Class A stock bribe substitute fortes ordinary debenture debt created subsequently to 1852, and by the provisions of the set is to be paid arrears of interest up to the Btth February, 1862, according to the rates which the eocurities then carried, and from that date to 30th June, 1863, at the rate of 3 per cent. For one year subsequently the whole net earnings of the company are to be applied ia paying • dividend up to 3 per cent. on this stock, and any surplus revenue is to go to the other stock of the com pany. After 30th of June, 1864, six-sevenths of the company's net revenue in perpetuity are to be divided amongst the holders of clam A. stock. Class B stock is the substitute for the company's former preferential share capital ; and after the 30th June, 1864, the holders are to receive, out of the remaining one-seventh of the net revenue, the same rate of dividend oe the aggregate amount of their capital as is paid on Clam A Stock, and which is to be divided amongst them in proportion to their former guaranteed rates of dividend. The surplus of such oneseventh is to be divided amongst the holders of ordinary consolidated stock. The undertaking being sub ject various primary charges, namely, the Clarence and the old debts created prior to 18.52 (together of the aggregate mousiest amount of 729,054!. la. 10d.). and there being also other special charges on portions of the company's property which have to be paid in full. the company has been authorised, in order to pay off such charges, as well as to recoup certain expenditure on capital account temporarily advanced out of revenue and to provide for the costs of the new Capital Act and for additional works, to issue debentures to the extent of 1,029,000 t. ; and it is intended to take power at the special meeting 'which is to succeed the half-yearly meeting), to raise the full authorised amount of such loans. It is expected that the present improved position of the company will enable the board to effect the conver sion of those liabilities on advantageous terms, and that • considerable reduction of the annual charge in respect of them will be thereby effected. Them can be no question that debentures to the limited extent of one million, in • company possessing • share capital of three millions, and • clear revenue (Mkt payment of working ex penses) of 100,0001. per annum, afford • security in no respect inferior to that of any railway company ; whilst this company, after the ordeal it bas undergoes, is now in • position to show not only that its mortgage creditors will obtain • first charge on the undertaking, but that the sums borrowed are strictly confined withia the limits prescribed by parliament." MANSION-HOUSE. Robert F7eetecoedl6der,;ipiCor ibeaas a merchant and broker, carrying oa business io the City, was brought before the Lord Mayor on Saturday upon a warrant charged with having unlawfully demanded and received from a certain person seeking employment as a seaman the sum of 20s. by way of remuneration, the same not being the fee autho rised by the Merchant Shipping Act, contrary to the 148th section of the snidest. Summonses had in the first instance been issued against the defendant and • person named Henry Drew., who was described the defeodant's clerk, and who appeared on the previous day to answer two charges of a similar character, and was fined 20s. and costs in each case, having pleaded guilty ; but in extenuation urged that be had acted entirely in Ignorance, as he was merely the clerk to Mr. Walker. Mr. Welker did not appear, however, in answer to the summons issued against him, and a 'Fermat was copse quently wood by the Lord Mayor for his apprehension. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Coleman, from the Board of Trade, attended to pro- Recut. and informed his lordship that advertisement.; were inserted in the daily newspapers by the defendant, stating that berths would be procured for seamen upon payment of • fee of 20s. __ _ _ The Lord Mayor expressed his surprise that such an ad- vertisement should appear in the public papers in direct oppositino to the act of p►rliamen• Mr. Coleman said it was so ; bat it was so seldom that it happened that the actual receipt of the money—which was the essential point--could be proved, that no proceed ings could be taken. The defendant, by way of explanation, said his business brought him in contact very often with shipowners and shipbroken, and be was often asked by them to procure bands for their vessels; that he was induced to insert the advertisement, and that the present proceediars would never have arisen had not there been some delay on the part of the complainant in the production of his certi6oate. He had promised him a berth, but, in consequence of this delay be was too late for the vessel. Mr. Coleman said that Mr. Walker could not have acted in ignoranoe in the present use, as similar proceedings had been taken against him on a previous occasion, but the sum of TA had been paid to stop the proceedings from going any further. The defendant said of that be knew nothing, as he was at the time ont of town, and the matter was entirely is the bands of his clerks.

John Pollard, otherwise Dancer, - was placed at the bar charged with assaulting Mr. John Fraser Walker, solicitor, of Lichfieldntreet, and stealing • pony sad cart, the property of that gentleman. The case was Ent submitted to the coon the previous sfternooo, when it was thought desirable. owing to the excited state of the parties, to adjourn the hearing till the next day, the pernoind recognizance; of the defendant being accepted by the magistrate ea • sufficient guarantee for bin attendance to answer the extraordinary charge. preferred against him. The complainant made the following singular statement. Your worship, I charge this man with a brutal assault and batter, and with having deliberately gone to my stables sod stolen a pony and cart, I have known the defendant for some time as a cab proprietor, and an old client of mine. The day before yesterday I saw him on • professional matter. After which I engaged him to drive me to Hammersmith, where I have some property. His cab is • "Hansom" cab. On our way we met with an accident, his horse kicked the splashing-board all to pieces, and I narrowly escaped with my life. Notwithstanding this I stood lip him, saw him righted, assisted him to put his horse into • stable and deposit his cab for repair, and thee I brought him back in another cab to London. He bad told me of • frieod of his who was willing to pirt with a pony and cart at sn exttemelj low figure —a real bargain—if the ;enchain , was introduced by him. I consented to buy it, and I treated him to some ale. We went to nee the vehicle, and I gave him a crossed cheque for the money. I was very kind to him, and when he said be should have to pay for his cab license the next day, and had not the money at hand, I said I would go with him to the Inlsed Revenue Office and pay it for him. We had some refreshments together at • public house, after riding abet with the pony and art, leaving the vehicle outside. When I rose to leave I found that the pony and cart bad been taken *sr. , , and the defendant had fled also. I was naturally indignant at this conduct, but next morning, at an early hour, 1 was aroused from my Ical by the intimation that the defendant was waiting with the pony outside my house. I forgave him, treated him to s dinner, and went with him to pay for his license ; but I toyed that he was going to take it out in a different name, "Pollard ;" and I said, " Dancer, as • lawyer I cannot minutia* this fraudulent proceeding." However, I paid him 2f.. and had the pony and cart put up at my own stable* in Duke-street, where I have two other horses. Yesterday afternoon he deliberately went to my stables and took the pony noel cart away, and by the strangest chance I met him in the street while riding is a cab. I stopped him. He said the cheque I had given was dishonoured, and he had taken forcible re possession of the property. Ae altercation enaued, and he assaulted me in the moat scandalous manner. For this out rage, ingratitude, sod felony I bring him here. As for the cheque being dishonoured. I need not tell you, sir, that being mimed he could not know whether it would be dis honoured or not.

The pony and cart belonged to a poor old lady, aged eighty, and when she sent the cheque to the hank (the Birkbeck Savings Bank. is Southampton. buildings) she wee informed there were "no effects." Could he stand be and see the poor old woman robbed! Certainly not. So he went to the stables and got back the pony and cart. The complainant's witness to the assault, a cabman, mid Mr. Walker was not sober and Mr. Buniahy, the chief clerk, said he was not sober when he first applied to the court. tdenied these statementa, and in cross-exam inm floe refund to say if he had 40e.. 104, or even 2.. at his " hook."

W. F. D. STEPIIENS. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LYNN AND HUESTANTON. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this com paoy was on Saturday at the Lynn Hotel ; Mr. LIGHTLY Suirnos 6oe cha i r. The report stated that the gross traffic receipts train the opening of the line on the 3rd (let. last to the 31st Dec. amounted to 1,0611. Is. Ad., as stated ill the last report. and the earnings for the half year ended the 30th June amount to 3,04 W. Bs. 2d. After payment of 50 per cent. to the Great Eastern Company for working expenses, and the interest on the debenture debt to the 31st July, there remains • balance to the credit of revenue amounting to 1,:t231. 19s. 21 Out of thia sum the directors recommend the payment of a dividend after the rate of 3 per cent. per amount on the share capital, which will leave a balance of 3231.19.. 2d. to be carried over to the next account. Since the last half- yearly meeting the houses in course of coo ' situation at Hunstanton have been completed, and are now, with one exception, sold and fully occupied. A new inn has also been erected near to the station, and found to be a great coaveniewth to visitors. The exclusion traffic has been more than equal to your director.' anticipations, and tends to confirm them in the opinion they originally formed as to the ultimate prosperity of the undertaking. It is in contemplation to erect a new first-class hotel, which it is hoped the shareholders of the company will support, the requirements of a large influx of visitors rendering further accommodation absolutely iudiapensable. With sincere re gret the directors refer to a lamentable accident which happened to an excursion train returning from Hunstanton to Lyon on Monday night last, which resulted in the death of six persons, and injury to several others. It is hardly necessary to say that the Great Eastern Company are affording every facility to the inquiries which are taking place before the coroners under whoa. respective jurisdiction the accident falls. The Cnanutax, before proposing the adoption of the re port, wished to express the deep and heartfelt sorrow he felt in referring to the lamentable °amnesic* familiar to them all, and a sorrow that was shared by his colleagues. He had been uonnected with the town of Lynn for the last thirty years, and he felt it much, occurring, as it had, to neighbours and friends whom they were accustomed to meet. Though the Great Eastern Railway Company had the duty devolving on them of keeping up the hoe, yet if he (the chairman) had heard a complaint that the safety of the passengers was endangered, he should have proceeded to take steps to remove the danger on his own responsibility. Instead of that, the only complaint he had I ever received was from Mr. Beige. in the spring time, I and he forwarded that complaint to his colleagues here, and the cease of complaint was removed. He could Lot help deeply regretting that, as chairman of this company, he had never had one complaint other than that mentioned' as to any danger being likely to arise either from the state of the fences or from any other causes. He thought it right to say that the conduct of the officials of the Great Eastern Railway Company and of the surgeons of the town, as well as all classes, was deserving of all praise for the sympathy and attention which they showed on this occasion. He might also say, in justification of the great care of the company, that for the twelve yearn he had held the post of chairman or deputy-chairman of the East An glianCompany they had never paid ss. for injury done to any person. That was as much, and perhaps more, than coal be said for many companies. He might say that all that human agency can do to ensure the safety of the public will be done by the Great Eastern Railway Company, and also by this company if it is necessary. Passing on from this subject he had hoped to have been able to congratulate the shareholder, upon the complete success of the undertaking bat for this deplorable accident. The chairman went on to remark upon the success that had attended the excursion trains. He found that the Cambridge traid commenced with 118 passengers, sod the earniegs of it were 231. 17s. and grew larger till, on the 3rd of August, the number of persons that came by the Cambridge train was 1,161. It had been alleged that there was no population in the neighbourhood of the line, but it was remarkable that the small town of Downham Market contributed 461 passengers that day to the Cambridge train. Tbrongh rates had been established in connexion with the Midland districts with about forty towns from Stamford to Morecambe Bay, all of which would doubtless contribute largely to the prosperity of the line so soon as sufficieot accommodation can be provided at Hun- Amami. The traffic (except the day excursions) was, of course, limited, in consequence of the west of accommoda tion. The day excursions are thoroughly appreciated, as shown by the large number of the labouring population who have availed themselves of the opportuoittes of going to Hunstantos the company taking them from Lynn there and back for la. Their earnings, to pay 5 per cent., must be 11W. per week, hut he found that for the five weeks prior to the 3rd of August the earnings had averaged 7.371. a week. (Hear, hear.) For a tune, however, there would be a falling off in the amount of receipts ; first, because I there are some persons who will naturally feel a degree of timidity about travelling for a time ; and, se condl y, be cause for a few weeks farmers and others will be busily engaged in their harvest operations. He had no doubt that ' when the line recovered its normal traffic the property would be amongst the first and most productive in the kingdom. _ _ _ -- hir. Cleetuvricz, of Manchester. seconded the adoption of the report. He also addressed himself to the subject of the late accident in a similar strain to the chairmen. The report vas adopted, and a dividend of S per cent. per annum declared. The CHAIRMAN called on Mr. Valentine, their engineer, to make some explanations in reference to the evidence given by lir. K Holmes, C.E., at the borough inquest. Mr. Vaunt/M. C.E., said he was glad the chairman bad afforded him an opportunity of replying to some of the statements of Mr. Edward Holm., the estuary inspector, made a day or two before. He regretted that though he was present at the first inquest he was unable to present at the second, being is Loudon, and having seen the evidence of the witness referred to in the newspapers. be should be glad of replying to him through the press. That gentleman stated that at Mr. Gay's crossing there was a dangerous crossing, the gradient being 1 in 100. Now his reply to that was, there was no such gradient on the line. The two gradients referred to were very short, sod were only lin IV, and were most unexceptionable gradieets. If they were like some he could mention in the Midland dis tricts, I in 37, there might be something to find fault with. There was nothing in these gradients dangerous in the slightest degree. Mr. W. S. suirsox, an the contractor who made the line, corroborated this statement. Mr. VALILIITunt, C. E, mid if Mr. Holmes had taken the trouble to have gone over the line, he would have Wen by the gradient poata that they were 1 in 132. He believed that it had boon said that the gradient had been altered from the parliamentary plan. Hu answer to that was that, beyond Wolverton, there was an incline sanctioned by the parliamentary plan at a gradient of 1 in 100, but they had improved it., and made it I in 165. Mr. Setae proposed • vote of thanks to the chairman and the directors, specially the local directors, for the efforts they had made to afford assistance during the acci dent. aa well as for their efforts in the interests of the share. holden. liereaolatioa wan wooded aed agreed to, sad after a few remarks by the ONAISMAN the meetaag broke ap.

The works on the lickfield and Tunbridge Wells line, between Groombridge and Tunbridge Wells, were in • forward state, so that the opening of the East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells iu the course of next year might be relied on.

OOTTON GOODS.—ManoncirrEit, AUGUST 15.—Some few people report rather less doing at the close of the week than on Tuesday, but this is not the general experience of milers. There was a good general demand cm Tuesday for yarns, buyers for India, China, the Mediterraneso, and the home trade giving out same fair orders. The demand has continued all the week for most of these markets, the only check on business being the advisors in prices. Spiouers, after wellies largely, naturally become lees anxious about fresh orders, and are only willing to take them at an ad. vanes. This has caused rather more check on the horns trade, because the advance required was felt more severely on this class of yarns. There is consequently less doing to• day in yarns for manufacturers. The advance on Tuesday was id. per lb. for yams, and since then spinners have become more difficult to deal with. In cloth there was hardly no conch busiesss dens on Tues day as there was during hot week, but mime then there has been a good demand, and where prices have not been too extravagant. goad deal of business has resulted in shirtiop, loos clothe, and jsconets for India. There has also bees more doing for printers. The improvement for India is due to the good effect of but advice. The home trade are now operating again somewhat more freely in clothe. Manufac turers are asking very full rate., but feel great difficulty, even with an improved demand, in keeping pace with the advancing rates of cotton. WOOLLESI.—Lvum.

The export trade is not brisk, but there is • fair amount of Mauler doing, much better than might be ex pected seeing that in two or three departments trade is all bus stopped. Recently there have been • few orders given out for Canada. To Australia, the Cape, and some of the Eastern tuarketa business is upon the whole active, rather beyond the average. The iron trade in this district is a shade more active than it was two or three weeks ago, • few additional orders having been given out on account of the export trade. Pig iron is in moderate demand only ; the paddlers' strike is materially reducing the consumption. Some of the pig masters have been pressing salts and accepting lower prices ; cinder pig is very little inquired after.
