THE OULDES TI. rb OF TUE MARBLES OF THE PARTHENO.V. It was in studying these magnificent ban.relielk that I ilia/veered the microscopic vegetation to which the Parthenon and all Eastern edifices owe their beautiful golden bee. The theories built upon the subject of this tint of the marbles of the Parthenon are well known. Some have as serted that this beautiful building hid been painted, and that the pale yellow celoorin4 was the only remains of the so? kin.. painting. In fact, some traces of painting, mufti eular.y an the compartments of the etilisq, are stile visible. Others assert that it is the effect of the sun itself, which has bad the I rivilege of tinting with its heat the marble in title manner. It is, however, nothing of the kind: it is 'lichen, with imperceptible oceans, which botanists up to this hour have not described, which Wends in immense layers over all the marbles of Greece, either carved by the chisel, as in buildings, et in a natural state at the elide of a outline. The numerous svccimens of this lichen which I have brought from the Parthenon, from the old enclosure of the Temple of 3..1m50n, and from the ruins of Dauber, place the fact beyond a doubt; and these are the observations which brouoht me to this interesting discovery. The bas-refit fs of Phidias have especially tuffs beautiful golden tint, which contributes so much to g ive the appearance of a velvety softness which it is diflicu tto describe. And when, at dif ferent epeeha, the projecting parts, such as the noses or fingers, had been broken off, I observed that the yellow tint hail covered the broken parts, and that they differed in so respect from the hollow parts of the has reliefs which bad never suffered mutilation. I might conclude from thir, that the colour was not paint, as the marble, when broken first, is of dazzling whiteness, and in time becomes as yellow as the rest. This was conclusive. I also observed, that af ter the habit of all lichens, this colouring penetrated the fissures of the marble wherever it was broken in any past, so that in stellar( off the outside, you find that the two in terior aides have equally received this general tin; and that the tint diminishes in intensity with the size of the crevice. This colour follows the habit of lichens, which generally cover the rocks, and penetrate the imperceptible fissures. I afterwards studied what would be the action of the Inn upon the columns of the building, and the following is the result. The columns placed is the south are perfectly white on those parts which are for the greatest length of time ex posed to the burning rays of the sun. Ily degrees, they become yellow on those parts where the sun shines upon them with less ardent rays. In short, on thou parte scarcely reached by the sun, the yellow tint has become blackish, and there are frequently long, blackish lichens, trailing along, well known by botanists, extending in long, Satlayers, over the walls a here water or the rain has re mained the longest time. Thew lieu, thus a • d at, led me to the following conclusions:—Since the marble, in those parts least exposed to the sun, becomes nearly black, and we know that this colouring is derived from the lichen called Lepraria; since the marble retains its whiteness where it is most exposed to the sun, and that the yellow tint is only strongly marked in the intermediate parts ; it follows that it is a lichen, which, needing moisture, cannot vegetate under the burning action of the sus, on the front of the column, it therefore vegetates the mere strongly on thew parts where the marble is most sheltered trum the beet. I had hers the solution of my problem, Afterwards, upon the north side of the walls of Jerusalem I detached fragments of mortar that had been carefully polished by the trowel. The lichen on the stun is which form these walls was spread upon the mortar itoelf, and had given to it the nine golden tint as to the stone. It is not, therefore the action of heat which has thus gilded the marble, since the columns of the Parthenon, on those parts most exposed to the 8101 rays, remain white; and upon the walls of Jeru salem I found the same tints upon the nothern side, which is never warmed by the sun's rays. Men of microscopical science will allow me to give the name of Lepraria Par shenonisca to this lichen, if, as I have reason to think, no other botanist has been beforehand with me in the dis covery of this microscopic parasite. It is a little plant, of which the wonderfully fine net work covers ties marble wrought by the hand of man ; and which gives to oriental buildings the warm colouring denied tee those of Europe.—,46se de St. Alidiun's Narratice. THE HERRING FISHING IN THE NORTH. The herring fishing has now terminated at all the stations in the north, and we are now 'cabled to present a statement of the aggregate catch as follows : No. of ATerage Boats.

Though thus a large fishing, the catch of the present season does not, it will be observed, equal that of '49. Notwithstanding the large catch, prices have this year been remarkably high, and there is every prospect of full rates being maintained. Already large—we might almost say enormous—exports have been made not merely of red, but of white salted herrings to Australia, and considerable Inquiries are still being made fee fish to be seat to the same destination. Besides the demand for Australia, there has been an unusual, quite an unprecedented, consumption of lierrings, both fresh and slightly salted, in the manufac turing districts of our own country. These circumstances combined—the export to Australia and the home demand —together with the high rates of every description of butcher meat, will, it is confidently expected, fully maintain the v slue of herrings daring the coming winter. Both the bocce consumption and the Australian demand are likely to continue even beyond the present season, and will, we trust, tend to render the herring trade stills less dependent on foreign markets. At present, owing to the catch having improved towards the close of the season, there is, we hear, a slight flattest for the article in the German markets. We trust, however, that curers will bear in mind the causes above mentioned, which are operating in their favour, and that they will not rashly or hurriedly fling their produce in consignments into the German markets; for they may rest assured, that throughout the whole coming season, the disposer of her rings, if matters are conducted with prudence, may com mand good his prices—Basijfihiee Joir nal. ThE " LOST " FOUND.—Considerable excitement was caused in this city during the past week by the mysterious disappearance of an old woman, named Sarah Crump, who resided at Blachmarstone, and who had some time been bordering on imbecility, or a state of " second childhood." It appears that she left home on Tuesday sennight, and nothing was heard of her for several days, which caused the most intense anxiety sad distress in the minds of her friends, who imagined she might have come to her death by some accident in the course of her wanderings. The Castle-mill pond and the canal were dragged on two successive days, the most diligent inquiries were instituted, end her loss was publicly proclaimed by the city crier through our streets en Saturday last, but no tidings of the lost one were heard until Monday morning last, when intelligence was remind by her friends that she had wan dered to a place a short distance from Ledbury, and had been conveyed to the union workhouse in that town. The pleasing intelligence of course dispelled the gloom which bad hung so heavily over her family, and caused the sun shine of joy and happiness once more to shine upon thew. Soon after the receipt of the pleasing intelligence, Mr. James Crump, her son, started to Ledbury with a horse and gig, to fetch his mother again to her home. We hear she did not arrive in Ledbury until Thursday, and was unable to account for the manner in which she had spent the interval between then and her leaving her home. The old lady, we understand, is 73 years of age. It is thought she was on her way to Birmingham, where she has a eon residing—Hereford Journal. FRENCH FRAIID.—At Marseilles a few days ago, says Galignani, a number of shows and mountebank booths were assembled In the Allis des Capucines for the fair. In one of them, amongst other extraordinary things, were ex hibited what were represented to be two savage., male and female, from the great desert of Africa. They were con fined in a cage with iron ban; and were it was said so ferocious that it was necessary for a man to keep constant guard over them with • drawn sword to prevent them from devouring the bars. Compelled to do without the iron, they contented themselves with eating the ends of cigars. As to religion, it was stated that they worshipped the sun and moon. The show was constantly full, and the comma people looked with awe on the wild creatures. But a well dressed Ninon, after examining them attentively for some time, suddenly rubbed his hand on the face of the man, and drew it back completely black. At this the spectators burst into loud laughter, and one of them stated that he recognised the pretended savage as a man who had been seem to station himself in a particular street to clean shoes. This increased the mirth, sad an attempt was seriously made le merry la triesph the person who first imposed the bud. Ile ternited, sad some calories maned, bat it Mani at tito internally' of tie polio% •.- This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the put of the detaining creditor. A young man named Ruler ape tired in person. Mr. Nichols supported. In 1050 the insolvent, who had been • Every-stable keeper and tett) muter in Manchester-street, Manchester square. ::as a prisoner for debt, end filed his petition in this cottit. Ile, however, did net proceed with his case, as a gentleman Domed Carr, wha was indebted to him remitted from India Mt., with which be paid his then detaining creditor and some few others, leaving the present detaining creditor and others unpaid. lie had about 2501. of the money left, end had lived on it from that time with • Miss Bowkett, who he admitted, passed as his wife, and had gone by the name of "M. Clark." That person had • furnished house in Radnor-place, Gloucester-square, which she bad let in the name of Clark. lie said he had nothing to do with the place. Ile admitted that be WAS a married mss, but could not tell where his wife was living. She left him some years back, and ho wished she was dead, ss there was property settled on him which would pay all his debts. lie said he did not care if she was " below." Mr. Commissioner Murphy rebuked the insolvent for an swering in such &manner. Such phlox' could not be per mitted in a court. With the money the insolvent received from India it ap peered he went from place to place with Miss Bowkett ; sometimes she lived with him, and sometimes ►e ladged with her. The furniture let with the house in Radnor place he alleged belonged to her, though he had given re ceipts fur the rent. lie was now in custody at the suit of one of his old creditors, and had inserted all his former creditors in his schedule. He had not been in business for a long time. The complaint of Barker (who appeared in person) was, that his mother had saved 861., which she placTd in his hands for him (her son) after hoe death. She died in June aid he had not been able to get any part of the money. He had not proved any will of his mother. Mr. Nichols submitted that Barker was no creditor, u he was not legally clothed with any authority. Barker produced a paper signed by the insolvent an knowiedging that he had received the money, and would pay him after her death. Mr. Commissioner Murphy held that Barker was a cre ditor, and that an action of assumpsit could be maintained on the document. The ineolient said the money he bad was all gone, when he heard that Barker had mado application for payment, after ►i.i mother's death. Mr. Cooke, I.commeuting on the cue, designated it as • sternness one of fraud, and ono that called upon the court for its severe animadversion. The insolvent had made awe with tho money he hail rective.l when in prison, and which belonged to the provisional assi3nee of the court, as the in solvent, when he filed his petition, had all his property vested in the court. As to the furnished house, it was clear that he hail dealt with it as his property, and could be made to give it up. The case called upon the court to give a length ened judgment. Mr. Nicho.s, contra, argued that there had been no making away of property, as the money slid not belong to the provisional assignee, but, according to a decision of the Queen's Bench, to the insolvent. The decision of the Queen's Bench, he admitted, had been set aside by the Ex chequer Chamber. Mr. Commissioner Murphy said, that divesting the cue of the point wheth:r the money belonged to the provisional as signee or not, it was quite clear that the insolvent might have paid the debt for which he was now opposed by Mr. Cooke. lie wished to know what the court had defined, making away with property, to mean. Mr. Cooke observed that it had always been held a making away of property where a man in fraud of his cre ditors had disposed of money on himself, or conceited any property into money and get rid of it in a similar manner. Mr. Commissioner Murphy said be should adjourn the cue for the insolvent to insert a residence where he had cor.tracted a debt, and before he came up again he would see whether he would not make • settlement with the op. posing creditor. It was a very hard case in the young man Barker, and unless his opposition was settled, ho should give a very serious judgment. His Honour adjourned the case, and requested on the next occazion the attendance of Miss Bowkctt. A wandering Savoyard was charged with ill-treating a monkey. Thos. Richardson said he was passing through Newgete street, about half-past nine on the previous evening, and saw the prisoner with an organ, and a monkey upon it. The prisoner was beating the monkey on the head with a steel triangle, and, on witness expostulating with him upon his cruelty, he struck the monkey with his fist, and then set the animal upon witness, who, however, avoided the attack, and gave prisoner into cus tody. This was all explained to the prisoner through the medium of an interpreter, and he replied that the witness had sworn falsely, as he got his living by his monkey, and was very fond of it. Witness said the prisoner swore at him, and used very obscene language in English ; and at the station the monkey was evidently afraid of the prisoner, for it made a great noise when be approached it. Alderman Wire eaid that was not at all material, as monkeys always did make a noise. It was then explained to tho prisoner that he had sub jected himself to a penalty of 51, or, in default, imprison ment ; but, on his promising not to repeat the same treat ment to the animal, he was discharged. James Beckley was summoned fur cruelty to • eat, by setting his dogs to worry it. It appeared that on the 3rd of September the defendant was in Montagu-court, Little Britain, with three of his dogs, when a cat belonging to Mrs. Lindsey was found in one of the areas and thrown to the dogs, who thereupon tore it in such a cruel manner that, on being taken to the pump close by, it died. It was shown that the dogs belonged to defendant, and that he was in the habit of setting them to worry cats and other animals. He was fined 10s. and costs. Six summonses taken out by de tendant against the complainant, her husband, and other parties, arising out of the same transaction, were then pone into and dismissed, only one of the parties being required to enter into his own recognisances to keep the peace to wards Beckley and all her Majesty's subjects. MARYLEBONE. John Sheehnn, an Irishman, keeping a lodging-house in York-court, East-street, Marylebone, appeared before Mr. Long on a summons which had been obtained against him by Mr. Humphreys, an inspector appointed under the " Lodging-houso Act" for receiving moro lodgers than allowed by the said act, as also with suffering his place to be in a filthy condition. Inspector Price, of the A division, stated that on Gth ult. he, accompanied by two of the officers belonging to his divi sion (40 and 43), examined the house and found it in a most disgusting state; it was without any backyard, the water closet, which was in the kitchen, was without a trap. The kitchen was unpaved and covered with filth to some depth, which out • dreadful effluvia throughout the premiss. The house had been subsequently visited by witness and the other officers, but no alteration had been effected, and con sequently the summons bad been taken out, which at the solicitation of Mr. Williams, solicitor to the landlord, Mr. Bryan, who resides at No. 8 in the court (above alluded to), had from time to time been adjourned. Witness added that on the previous day (Wednesday) three cases of cholera were reported as being in the house, and r on witness proceeding ones more to defendant's residence, he ascertained that a young man named James Cronin was t lying . dead of cholera ; two other men, named William Cronin (father and son), were dangerously ill of the same ' dreadful malady ; he had them at once removed to the ' Ilarylebone Infirmary, and the deceased man we. taken to , the dead-house of the same institution. Ho (witness) warned the landlord, and on going to the house yesterday , morning (Thursday) he observed that it was under a thorough cleansing. The kitchen had been paved, and the drains connected with the common sewer had been pipe i laid. The court in which defendant lives is densely in habited by the lower orders of Irish, and upon one occasion 40 A found no fewer than six persons sleeping in a room fit to accommodate but one. Mr. Williams again applied for an adjournment, in order to allow the landlord time to comply fully, as he was desirous of doing, with the pro , visions of tho act. Mr. Long, under the circumstances, granted an adjourn ment for a week. COTTON.—LimunPooL, Serr. 15.—The market closed Ivry flatly, and prices of all descriptions were fully Id. per lb. under last week's rates. 1,800 bales Egyptian were offered by auction to-day, and withdrawn. The sales amounted to 5,000 or 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for es port, and 500 on speculation, and comprise 130 Pernanis and ideranhams, 61d. to Bd. ; Bahia. std. to 61d.; 290 (Egyptian, bid. to 71d. ; and 1,000 Sent, 3d. to 31d. _ _ _ . BLANCHESTER, Scrr. 15.—Indisposition to business and excess of caution rather than weakness of prices has been the characteristic of the market this morning, and there hays been bet few sales effected either In firn or cloth. The accounts from the United States of America respect ing the cotton crop, having given firmness to the Liverpool market, have tended also to strengthen the hands of spin ners and mannfutnrers. The spinners of good qualities of yarn, and t►e makers of the best cloths in demand for the hone trade, inch u printers are indisposed to make any concession. In other goods the wicket is undoubtedly easier, but sellers show no disposition to make much sac rifice, even in the fee. of ammoniating stooks. There is a great difference, however, in the position of some manufac tnien as conspired with others, many of them holdixg con tracts for their whole production for some weeks or months in advance, and in one instance up to the middle of Decem ber. The intelligence that the Bank of England had raised its discounts to 41 per cent., did not reach us by telegraph until business was nearly over, and as the course taken had been anticipated,there wu little immediate effect produced. WOOL.—Bstmorolin, SEPT. 15.—This article is exceed ingly bad to buy from the grower, and equally difficult to sell to the spinner, whose avocation is ruinously bad, and the consumption is daily diminishing. Noila and Broker are without change.—Bradford Observer. MANUFACTURES.—Baanroan, SEPT. 15.—Yarns : Toe business doing is steady, but the prices are ruinously low, and the cost of producing yarns is so great, both in material and labour, that the spinners are inclined to stop page of frames where orders run out. Pieces: The month of September has not been active for the purchase of grey goods of plain fabric. Those so engaged are unwilling to snake to stock, and as orders run out, looms are ceasing to be employed; the cost of worsted and cotton yarns is so ngreat, it is impossible to resins prime cost, and the shorten of the supply is daily getting more general.—Bradford Observer. CORN.-B ammo eau Barr. 15.-AtGlouotster market, on the 10th, wheat was Is. to 21. per quarter lower. At Worcester, manse day, the currency of the previous week was nearly maintained. Barley dearer. New oats lower, but old fully maintained their value. No alteration in beans. Not much doing is peas. Daring the present week, with the exception of the night of the 12th, the wafts: has bean fine, and the trade has ruled dull-in creamed by the millers having lowered the retail price of flour 3s. 44. per sack. Barley again the turn dearer. Oita dull, but not lower. Only limited transactions reported in beans or peas. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, wheat was Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. At this day's market there was a large supply of English wheat, which was cleared off at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter. Foreign realised a similar improvement. Barley 6d. to ls. per quarter higher, and heavy qualities scarce. ()ate unaltered in value, and not much passing. Beans and peas Is. per quarter dearer. BRISTOL, Barr. 15.-Owing to the warlike aspect of Turkish affairs and the return of wet weather, the market has assumed a firmer tone, and both English and foreign wheat have advanced from le. to 23. per quarter. Flour has a better sale. Barley is still dear and scarce. Beans and oats both rale 6cl. per quarter higher.

Dumas, SEPT. 15.—We hail a very short supply of wheat to-day, about two-thirds of which was of this year's growth ; the quality generally inferior and the: condi tion bad. There was a very brisk trade, and a clearance was made at an advance of from 3s. to 41. per qr. One lot of now wheat was sold by Mr. Thomas 'leaner at 31s. per sack. There were a few small lots of new barley in the market, and 345. to 38s. per qr. were given for two of them. There was so improved demand for winter oats for seed. Beans and peas were also in good request. Tares were very brisk at from tis. to 103. per bushel. Rye, 19s. to 21s. per sack.

MANCHESTER, SEPTIEBER Ib.—Since our last report the trade has exhibited a gradually hardening tendency, and more disposition to purchase both flour and oat meal ban been manifested; but business has been much restricted by the very limited quantity of either article offering. The weather during the same period has been unsettled, but on tho whole not of a very unfavourable cha racter. The arrivals of foreign wheat and Hour at Liver pool are tolerably extensive, and fair of beans and Indian torn ; whilst from other sources the supplies of all articles continue very light. At our market this morning there was • large attendance, and wheat must be noted 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. higher than on this day stennight. For English flour there was& good inquiry, and the stocks of such being extremely small, an advance of Is. to 2.1. per sack was realised ; foreign at the same time being held for a similar enhancement. Oats brought fully late rates. Old oatmeal being in brisk demand, was 6d. per load dearer; whilst new was without change. NEWARK, SEPT. 14.—At our market today there WIG good attendance, sod a brisk business was transacted. ' Samples were_plentiful, and the demand was tally pro portionate.

ILaU3 INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YEsTERDAT. Br' oas JCL Cumusetsx Tx THR MATTER OF MERRY Cl Ilearipr. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Swift was brought before Alderman Hunter upon the charge of "having," according to the words of the police sheet, "improperly put the break on the wheels of the carriages of the Blackwell Railway while in motion between Blackwell and London." Mr. Tyerman, of the firm of Hollingsworth, Tyerman, and Johnston, of Gresham-street, solicitors to the Landon and Blackwell Railway C =patty, appeared for the prose cution. No charge of such offence had, it was stated, been ever before brought before a magistrate. Mr. Tyerman said he appeared on behalf of the company to establish a charge of a very serious nature, inasmuch as the lives cf a great number of persona were placed in jeo pardy by the extraordinary net of the defendant, who was wholly unknown to those who bad the earn and superin tendence of the line. The prosecution was undertaken upon the 13th section of the 3rd and 4th Victoria, esp. 97, which said, " And be it enacted that from and after the passing of this act, every person who shall wilfully do or cause to be done anything in such manner as to obstruct any engine or carriage, using any railway, or to endanger the safety of persons conveyed in or upon the same, or shall aid or assist therein, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being con victed thereof, shall be liable at the discretion of the court before which he shall have been convicted to be imprisoned with or without hard labour fur any time, not exceeding two yean" Thomas Penny, underguard to a train of the London and Blackwell Railway Company, said I was on the train which left Blackwell yesterday morning at twenty minutes before seven e'clock. When wo got to Shadwell wo found that the defendant was in one of the break carriages. No pas sengers were allowed in that carriage at all. It is used only fur the purpose of stopping the train, or impeding its progress. I usually ride in it. Sametimes I go alone in it. I was last night in one of the break carriages, without any fellow-servant; to assist me. There; was a carriage between that in which he was and that 'in which I was. About a quarter of a mile front the Fenehureb-street ter minus I saw the break of the carriage in which he was was on, but I did not see him put it on. It con tinned on about forty yards. He took the break off before we came to Lcman.strrct. I saw the wheel' strike fire along the middle of the carriage. He did not seem to me to be sober when we got to London. There is no station between Shadwell and London. I had not the control over the train. The guard who had the control was in front of me. Alderman Hunter—Were there no mesas of communi cation between you and the guard? Witness—No. Alderman Hunter—What did you do when you saw that the break was put on ? Witneu—l did not do anything. If we bad stopped the train when he had put on the break, some accident might have happened. He put on the break again before we came to the Minnie/ station, and kept it on till we came to the London Station. I then asked him what he bad been doing, end told him he was quite wrong. He said he was not, and I took him to the guard in front of the train and mentioned what he had been doing. The defendant said he bad not touched the break all the way along. lam sure the break was put on three times. The speed of the train was impeded by it. George Thornton, • servant to the North London Railway Company, was in the break carriage in which the defendant was. The defendant told its that he had got in the carriage et Lintel:louse. George Thornton said—l am in the employment of the North London Railway Company, which joins at Stepney the Blackwell Railway. I got on the break lost night at twenty minutes to 7, at the Shadwell station, to come to the Firchurch station. I always do so. Tho defendant was on the break when I got on. He said to me, "Are you going to London ?" I said I was. Ho appeared to be a little intoxicated. There is no seat in the break, and he was obliged to stand, and he had hold of the break, so I did not know whether he was able to walk. I thought that he was a servant to the Blackwell Railway Company, and therefore that he knew what he was about. I saw him put the break down three times. Alderman Hunter—Did you say anything to him when you saw him put down the break ? Witness—No, I had nothing to do with it, and had no talk with him. Ile stopped the speed of the train. As my train concluded at the terminus, I jumped off and left the place. I did not see him in custody. I saw him tutu the screw of the break three times during the journey. John Young—l am the guard to the London and Black wall Railway, and left Blackwell last night in the train at the hour above stated. I was in the next carriage to the engine, and before going into the terminus I found the train slacken its speed more than it ought. The first wit ness brought the defendant to me, as he thought I would blame him on account of the check to the speed, and said the defendant had put on the break three times between Shadwell and London. I directed him to give the defendant into custody. The defendant said be was very sorry if he had done anything wrong. The carriage in which the defendant was was a fiat one, and the break works with a screw which is turned round. It was necessary to turn the screw several times before the break could act upon the wheel, what the defendant did could not have been accidentally done. He is a complete stranger to me, and had no authority at all to he upon that break. Ido not know where he got on. I could not get from my position on the train to the lower part of it. Alderman Hunter—According to the rules of the slow pithy would he be admitted into one of the b r eak s if th e public carriages were all full ? Witness—lle would be allowed in such a case to go on the break carriage. Alderman Hunter—Was the train a full ens ? Witness—lt was a very good train, bat it was not full. There was plenty of room. There was about 200 pas sengers. The defendant was decidedly tipsy. Re did not say what class passenger he was. I would most likely, if I bad seen him, have prevented hint from going or . removed him. The ticket would be delivered to the porter at the station where he got in. Alderman Hunter—lf an accident had occurred 50 or 60 persons might have lost their lives. Well, defendant, who and what are you ? The defendant—l am • fitter to steam-boat engine works. and was in Messrs. Scott and Russell's employment up to the time of the fire. I see now that I was wrong in doing what I have done, and I am my sorry for it. Mr. Tyannan—Os behalf of the Blackwall Railway Company, I call epos the leagiatrele he email the pea- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1853. soner for trial on this very *snout charge, instead of pro ceeding to summary conviction. Aldirman Hunter—lt is my duty to commit the defen dant for trial.

The defendant was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. qr. on last week's rates. Barley was in fair demand, with an increasing value. Oats and beans met with a moderate sale at former quotations.

The sales commenced this morning with the sheep stocks. The buyers at en early hour were not numerous, more especially the English buyers. The lots were not ail placed before nine o'clock in the morning, after which hour the stocks were anxiously priced by the dealers there. The state of the weather being very favour able—more particularly for driving—the stock had an ex cellent appearance. the stock, for a S-ptember market, was more than an average show, and the reason given for this was the quantity of extra stock—more particularly black-faced—that was brought out at this market. Tho market was always supposed to consist of hill-fed sheep, but, upon this occasion, the ewes from the lowlands were brought in, which were generally picked up for Ireland, ;but not turning out so well for the last season or two, a very censiderablo number could not meet with purchasers. The high prices asked in the morning kept the buyers off, and it was not until about ten o'clock that anything was done; the holders having given way a little a few sales were made, which continued up to about twelve o'clock, when a lull was observed to take place, which continued for about au hour. The buyers at the Inverness sheep market in July last will no doubt suffer from the sales effected here. At the time the pur chases were made at Inverness the sheep markets were con tinuing to rise, but immediately after, in consequence of the dry weather, both the turnip crop and the pasture gave way very considerably; and even up to the present tine, although this kind of keep has rallied considerably within the lest fire weeks, from the well-timed rains, farmers and others are not prepared to take in green stock, in con sequence of the lateness of the harvest, hence the stiffness of this market; otherwise, it is allowed the stock would have been well used, and the holders all but clear-handed. It is generally allowed that the parties who bought at In verness would not get their road expenses fur bringing them from the north. Although the prices got to-day were good, and considerably above the prices obtained at the corresponding market of last year, they were not near what was expected by those who purch ased at the great northern market. This kind of speculation is allowed to be very critical, more particularly for those who have bought exten sively, for should the turnip crop still turn out a failure, the consequence will be serious to the buyers. There was no doubt a demand—several large buyers having gone north and met the stocks on the way to the great mart—even north of the Sheriffmuir—where several sales were made amongst known stocks with a reference to the prices ob tained here. The demand was evidently fur ewes, both black and white-faced for breeding. The market through out continued stiff, tho holders having determined to make' at least their own money out of them, having been bought at large prices. The well-conditioned meta tolerably ready sale. There was a difficulty experienced in arriving at the prices, the holders being rather displeased with the sales they had effected. Mr. Alex. Campbell, of Monne, had a very fine lot of black-faced wedders, which he turned off in the early part of the afternoon, unsold, as he would not submit to the prices offered. There was also a very mei- derablo portion of the stock usually shown in October brought to this market. The sales effected after twelve, and up to the close, would t • from le. to le. 6d. upon an average below the prices obtained before that hour. About one-fourth of the stock at the close of the market was left unsold. We rather suspect, sinless driven south, there will be rather a large show of sheep to-morrow. The following are the averages :—Cheviot wedders, from Hs. to 38s. ; do. ewes, from 21e. to 265. 6d. ; and so high as 29e. was got for one lot. Black-faced wedden, 20s. to 235. ; do. ewes, M. to las. The following are the advances above tho corresponding market of last year :—Black-faced wedders, 2s. to 3a. ; do. ewes, 3s. to 4e. ; Cheviot wedders, 4s. to 4s. Gd.; do. owes, 3s. to 3s. 6d. Bat Wa rise quoted above is not so much by 5 per cent. as the prices got in October last year. TunatraY, Sum 13.—The cattle, in turn, came on the sale stance this morning. Tho stock was in very fair con dition, and was composed, as usual, of cattle from the North and West Highlands, Caithness, Fife, Moray, Aberdeen, and Kincardine shires, with a goodly number of short-horns from England. and Irish cattle. Tue general show was somewhere about a September overage. The English and border dealers were more numerous than yesterday, and a good number of sales were effected in the early part of the morning amongst the better class of West Highland *tots and heifers ; bat shortly after, in consequence of the large prices which continued to be asked, sales came to a standstill about ten o'clock. Beasts of all kinds, indeed, up to the above hour, more particularly well-conditioned stock, in value from 51. to 71. 10s., met a fair sale, more particularly heifers. The stots of the same condition did not sell so well—probably about flee per cent. below that obtained for the heifers, although in equal con dition. The market was, after this time, throughout stiff, and the sales after wore slowly made. The prices of stock are no doubt still high but the breeders have no doubt been pocketing the large prices, as the jobbers have made nothing of their purchases since Amulree market in May last, with the exception of their good fortune at Balgair in June last. The better kinds of stock from the West Highlands were sold at a shade higher than what was got at tke September market of last year, but even hardly so good as the prices obtained last month, when the superior condition of the stock is taken into account. After 12 o'clock, and up till 2, sales were slowly made, the holders being determined to have their own at least out of them, whilst the buyers were equally determined to have a reduc tion in price before they would purchase. Towards 3 o'clock the holders who were anxious to get quitgavo way a little, and a good many sales were made amongst the lower priced cattle, say from 31.155. to 41. 10s., in value. At the lose of the market to-day a number of lots remained unsold of all kinds, amongst which were a good few lots of the pure Argyleshire breed, and other heavy cattle from the northern counties, which will no doubt appear on the sale stance to-morrow. Tho market continued throughout stiff. The following are the averages :—Stirks from 21. 51. to 4/. ; two-year-old heifers from 41. 10s. to 61. 10s. ; three year-old ditto from 51. 10s. to 7!. 10.. ; two-year-old slots from 41. and upwards ; three.year-old ditto from 61. 10s. to 91. 10s. ; and there is no doubt the better kinds that were shown would in some instances bring so high as 124 10s. The show of fat cattle was, in point of number and quality, about an average show. A few were left unsold. The prices obtained for this Mei would be about an average of the prices got for the last few weeks at the Edinburgh, Gleaner, and Newcastle weekly markets. IxiAn Corn:E.—The show of this kind was heavy, and the condition better than last market. What made the numbers so much at this time was the extra quantity shown last month, and a number having been left unsold, was the calico of the stock being so heavy to-day. Sales were also stiff to make for this kind. The following are the averages : One-year-olds from V. to 61. 10s. ; two-year-olds from 51. to 8/. 101.; three-year olds from 01. to 101. The prices were allowed to be fully better than at the August market. A very conaiderablo number was left unsold. THE NEW DUTIES ON HORSES LET TO HIRE.— The newlact on horses let to hire will take effect from the 10th of next month, when the present duties will cease. For a license to let out one horse or one carriage, the duty will he 71. 10e. per annum, and fur two horses or two car riages 121. 101., and so on up to twenty horses or fifteen carrieges, when the duty will be 601. For every additional ten horses. 101. The act is not to extend to licensed stage or hackney carriages. A penalty of 1001. is to be levied for letting horses for hire without a license, or keeping • greater number of hems or carriages than the hour' authorise& SIIIPPLVG INTELLIG.ENCE. CASUALTIES.
