But so many of his '• good things' and certainties" were bowled over that the meeting was anything but a glorious one for ti t i e . poor plunger, and it will require a strong p ull o he ng him up to town to-day, from whatever delightful spot ybe sojourning at for Brig hton , fo r the sake of such I L; business as "settling." The reverses of backers were all the more galling because the fields generally were so • small—only 198 quadruped,. performing for 8 9 • • against t 53 for 40 prime last year—and i t is y . that in 28 events for which the starters did not average a quartet each, only ten favourites won. Even as regards Cheat, odds bad to be laid en the winners in eight cases, 6 to I twice. and again 3 to 1 twice, being the price at • which the money was bought; whilst out of the eighteen " pots" that boiled over, seven were with odds on, and the second favourites were aleo beaten in five other in stance.. It was on the last day of the meeting that • the moat mischief was done, Athena, Lionie, and D'Estournel creating sad havoc among those who only • meddle with downright certainties ; and had it not been for my selected Chi rnwood and Pcarlfeather, it would have been one of the most unlucky Fridays ever recorded against the " gentlemen." Charnwood, however, won one of the four great handicaps, which are not included in the foregoing statistin, and will between them deduct cot a little from the winnings of the bookmakers ; Vex for the Stewards' Cup and Tabouret for the Goodwood Stakes, being served up even warmer than was Chant mood for the Chesterfield, and every book tieing taken about Crown Princess for the Nursery. It is a coincidence that three of there four great winners= hitherto have cut up so indifferently in public, and withal start at such short prices. Vex, for in stance , could not get within hail of Lily in a eve furlong spin at the recent Windsor Meeting, receiving 131 b., and yet she is suddenly found to be another Tibthorpe. The infer ence the uncharitable might make is that she has been worked as cleverly ea the latter was for the same race last year, though the party can find an excuse in her in fernal temper, which her visit to Crown Prince has not exactly cured, judging from the antics she played at the Marling post. Not one of the first three in the Goodwood Stokes could claim respect on their "public form," as it appears in print—Tabouret succumbing to moderate horses at Liverpool, Ilium's certificate being foardiascraoss in selling plates, and the The Spy boasting of nothing more than the defeat of the broken-down Tregeagle last apring—a performance that his running lint to The Perron, Ghaniwood, and Court Mantle just previously look all the credit from. The Nursery winner, Crown Princess, was "cut to pieces" in a selling race at Newmarket July, w ben entered to be sold for • fifth of the sum Captain Machell is said to have disposed of her for to his confederate just before last Friday's race ; but the fillythat " ought to have won," the Dryad, with the third in the nos, Alpenstock, cannot boast of having behaved much better before they gre.. the haniticamr, so that the three need not call each other bad names. - Mr. Morgan was much chagrined at the over throw of his "pot," especially as nearly all the lookers on agree the nee was thrown awe y by the crack light-weight )ookey, Cameron ; and really the luck of the magenta and black on the fiat this year and last would be enough to disgust the most even-tempered of mortals with the turf. Strange to say, the rose jacket was carried by a better favourite than the victonous Crown Princess, Acaster starting at half her prior, in Consequence of his being con sidered the best when they were tried with old Vespanan ; yet, somehow, all the money the ring could lay went about the filly. Charuwood, the Chesterfield Cup winner, hue gradually run himself into a good horse, and I take tome credit to :myself for basing pointed out whit a real "good thing" he was, after Mandrake had bowled over Clairon on the Craven course, while good odds were obtainable—my . second string, Mercury, also complimenting me by running third. This was all the more gratifying coming as it did after the successes in the two other great races of the meeting, Tabouret having been plumped for to win the Stakes, and Speculum's Cup victory being prognosticated in the event of Julius losing his temper,' which he did with a vempsance. It was unfortunate for Lord Stamford that Vespaaan won the Duke of Richmond's Plate just before the Chester field was decided, as thereby Charnwood was made to swam. a greater certainty than ever, and his lordship had to be content with " any price," so mad was the rush to get on. Had the colt been in the St. Leger he would have been fourth feed/rite by this time, for he beat Athena, St. Ronan, and Paul Jones so far as to put them all out of court ; and by his giving Sunstroke so mach weight be quite takes the shine out of the Spy, who had some difficulty is getting rid of Sunstroke at even weights for one of the tri enniala. Still, the White wall hero had two races "in " him, and he must be set down as having a good chance for the Ebor Handicap at • drt 41b, albeit Mum only concedes Slb and Tabouret 13Ib for the many lengths' 'beating they gave him in the Goodwood Stakes. Perhaps Mr. Bowes has a better Fe rmentative than the Spy for the great York race in Terabit% es he only gives 9lb for the year to Tabouret, who did not take high honours in the Goodwood Cup, Speculum beating both him and Blueskin somewhat easily. It was, no doubt, asking Tabouret too much to tome a second time over the two miles and a half within twenty-four hours, but he has not shown himself a first-class three-year-old vet, and had he been in the St. Leger ho could not have seen less odds than the stout BI ueskin, whose chance to become the hero of Doncaster is certainly not better than is boasted by Cap-a-Pie, Reatitution, See Saw, Orion, or UMW, the only Sellinger outsiders worth talking about now—and what chance can they have if the Earl, Vermont, and King Alfred, to say nothing of Green Sleeve, only remain right We shall ace more of Blueskin this week at Brighton, he being in both the Stakes and the Cup, one of which prizes he must win to retain the character he somewhat cheaply won last Thursday. Doubtless he will cut in for the handicap on Tuesday, severe as the 7st 711 appears at first sight, for he holds safe Hippie (penelirod 31b) and all others above him in the list, and has most to fear from lightweights like Rescue or the Vixen gelding, or mayhap Cannon Ball, or Our Mary Ann. Until the acceptances are made up, however, it will be impossible to guess at owners intentions ; and forfeits having also to be declared for the Marine Plate, that is also out of my reach, as Ainaley, Snowdrop, and Herennianus, threatening as they look, are not bound to accept. Whether Speculum or Laneret will contest the Champa gne Stakes is another doubtful matter, all I can ar ang that Vespaaian will only be a good thing in their absence. The Corporation Stakes, for two-year-olds, should pro voke an interesting race, Saladin ( td 101 b), Nanny Thor manby (list 131 b), Melody (Set 71b), Benefactor (Set 10Ib), the Ranger filly (Bst 131 b), Perfume (Mt 131 h), the Baroness (list 10(b), and Queen Esther (Bst 11b), all being birds of promise or performance, and there may be one or two more in the background. Saladin has shown the best form, but has missed some engagements of late, and in his absence the prise may be won by Melody or Perfume. In the Nursery there is another chance for Dryad, who was far before .Alpen stock, Amster, Iron Duke, Yellow Rose, Peabody, and at Goodwood, and only meets Peabody on any alarm keTzdifferent terms. There may be a better 'ligh t w eight even than the latter in the field, Provider andi not having been backed to win the Goodwood Nursery for nothing, no doubt; but I know nothing of them, and can only hint that the Imperatrice colt has a fair chance to improve on his Huntingdon performance, if Peabody and Dryad cannot win. The Brighton Cup, two miles, will badly bring out halls dozen stone's+, valuable as it is, for the oaners of Paul Jones, Suffolk, and Julius should be satisfied with their Goodwood failures, whilst there is every reason to suppose Westwick, Knight of the Garter, and Blinkhoolie are not in a condition to run, and the Returned has about as good a chance as the broken-down D'Estournel. The dark Terhillus, Blue aetn,;egrulum, and Fortunio make up the dozen and should the latter come mouth he will doubtlees be fancied, though I doubt his ability to give the 90th to Blueskin, or even the 91b to Speculum, who must have beaten Mr. &vile's gelding very easily indeed on Thursday last to hold him safe when giving an extra 7111 away. What is the matter with Blinkhoolie, to prevent his otarting, no one seems to know; nor did the most acute at Goodwood Inspect he was wrong until a noble lonl, an hour or two before he was atruck out of the Cup, took it into his head to " lay on the field." He did not • slant out to this effect, like your Steels or your Stephen soma, but soon got 400 g. on his "book," and I wonder . whether he invested it on instead of against the Duke of Newcastle's pair, when he discovered—doubtless to hie eurpriati—thathe had "skinned the lamb." However, we must bid good-bye to poor " Blink" for some little time, and leave his old opponents, Blueskin and Speculum, to fight out the Brighton Cup. Brighton Club and Lewes programmes mud not be looked at until the above-mentioned events are decided; and the only other meeti n g o f th e week of any importance is that held at Ripon St. Wilfred to-day and to-morrow. Half-a-dozen races are already before specu latore, who will hardly know how to choose between King's Cross and Three per Cent. in the Great Handicap, for since the former won at Pontefract, the old hone has done enough to throw a doubt on the correctness of that form.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to veloover from the defendant conspenia. tioa in damage, for the seduction of his daughter, Elisabeth Sarah Jane . Hips. The damages were laid at 141001„ The ease oeou * great many holm, and vas not conekided =ail late. Setjeant Parry and Mr. E. Clarke were for the plaintiff ; Serjeant Balla/tine and Mr. G. Francis were for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action was a wheelwright residing at Kingston with his wife and one daughter, the subject of the present action, who at the time of the oecurrenoe was between 17 and 18 years of age. The defendant Babied was bring at Kingston, and he that became acquainted with the wit woman in the autumn of 1865. She was en gaged with her cousin, a married woman, in the business of a milliner and dressmaker, and aecordi ag to the plaintiff's case the defendant introduced himself to her and her cousin, and promised to marry her, and he used to visit the two young women, and sit with them while they were at work. The defendant appeared to have left Kingston at the commencement of the year 1866 but he corresponded with the young lady, and three or four letters were put in, written by the defendant to the plaintiff, but none of them contained a word about marriage. In the month of December the parties met in London to make some ar range= nt for the plaintiffs daughter being placed in a situation at Richmond for a few months, until the defend ant should be in a position to marry her, and the dined together at the Solferino Restaurant, in Ilupet, Haymarket, and after dinner the defendant proposed to in troduce the young woman to some friends. They accordingly went in a cab to *house of ill-fares, the plaintifr s daughter being utterly ignorant of the nature of the place to which she had been taken, and there, as alleged, ho soduood her. This was on the Bth of December, 1A66, and the intimacy was repeated a few days afterwards, and in the month of June following the plaintiff s daughter was delivered of a seven-months child. Miss Elizabeth Higgins, the plaintiff's daughter, a very fine, handsome girl, was examined, and she detailed the circumstances under which she became acquainted with the defendant, and said that he asked her cousin, who was a married woman, to be allowed to pay his ad dresses to her. The defendant asked her to meet him in London on the Bth of December, 1866, to make some arrangements for her to go into a millinery establishment at Richmond, and after they had dined at the Solferino Restaurant he said he would introduce her to some lady friends, and a cab was called. They were riding for nearly throo-quarter of an hour, bat the did not know in what direction they went, but the cab stopped at a house, and the defendant knocked at the door, which was answered by a woman, and they went in. The wit ness then stated what subsequently occurred, and said that the defendant obtained possession of her person, but it was partly by tome ; he then begged of her not to let any one know whathad happened, =debe returned home. She met the defendant again on the following Tuesday, arid the intimacy was then renewed. The witness declared that she had never been intimate with any other man than the defendant. She soon after wards diseovered that she was in the family way, and she was delivered of a child on the 29th of June fol lowing. She said that when she informed the defendant the was in the family way be refused to believe her. The young lady was cross-examined at considerable length, and said that she had received about 601. from the defendant at various times. She denied in the most positive manner that she conversed with the defen dant for half an hour on the ant night they met,or that in tercourse took place between them at her father's house within a few days afterwards. She also stated most positively that no intercourse at all took place between them until the occasion she referred to, the Bth of De cember, and that the defendant seduced her upon that occasion. _ _ Wiliam /Wall, gunmaker, Shrewsbury, agave rimitar evidence as to the cause of disorder in the i tal.

The prisoner had formerly been a pupil at the witness's school, and the vain was made in &montane& with the prisoner's request. In the course of a long oonveraition the prisoner repeatedly asserted that he was " innocent as a child ;" and the witness, exproming his belief in this statement, earnestly entreated him to tell who had com mitted the murder, and not to "carry a murderer's secret about with him." The prisoner did not deny that he knew the murderer, but be said he dodged him about, and had sworn to " pull out his heart," and to " split his skull," if be told, and he dared not tell. In reply to the witness's question as to how he knew the murderer, the prisoner said that he had offered to sell him a watch, which he immediately recognised as being of the manu facture of Zusman's employer. This concluded the case for the prosecution, and the court was adjourned till this morning, the jury being meanwhile delivered into the custody of the sheriff's officer. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CAvnRmoE, Ammer 1. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) arm/area MID axon= v. 1101 WOOD. This was • case which appeared to excite considerable interest amongst the tradesmen of Cambridge, the de fendant having been an undergraduate of this university, and there being two other actions against him standing for trial at this assizes. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Douglas Brown appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Cockerel for the defendants. The plaintiffs are Messrs. Rivington and Co., the well known publishers and booksellers, who have branch esta blishments at Cambridge and Oxford, and the action was brought to recover 99/. 18s. 2d. for books supplied during the years 1866 and 1867 to the plaintiff, who was then an undergraduate of 'Trinity College. The defendant pleaded infancy, to which the plaintiffs replied that the books were necessaries suitable to the rank and degree of the defendant. It appeared that the defendant wail the son of the late Rev. Henry Hopwood, who was rector of Bothal, in Northumberland, and who married a relative of the Duke of Portland. On the death of his father he was made a ward in Chan cery, and was allowed between 2001. and 3001. a year when he came to the university. Hie liabilities having considerably exceeded this amount, his guardian peti tioned the Court of Chancery to allow a sum out of his property to pay off his debts, and a Mr. Hill, • clerk to Messrs. Simpson and Co., who were the solicitors acting in the Chancery proceedings, was sent down to Cam bridge to pay off his debts. Amongst other tradesmen the plaintiffs were paid a sum of 601., and in answer to in quirlea from the plaintiffs' manager, ho told him that the defendant was a ward in Chancery, and a relative of the Duke of Portland. The plaintiffs' case was, that relying on this information, they continued to supply him with books which they considered suitable to his rank ; and on the part of the defendant it was proved that the amount of his fortune was only about 6,0001., exclusive of a con tingent interest in a moiety of 14,0001., his chance of obtaining which was very remote. Amongst the items in the plaintiffs' bill were seven parts of Dore's Bible, 71. ; "Slang Dictionary," "History of Signboards." Books of Chinese paintings on rice paper; "Tennyson's Poems," 4/. 4e. ; manuscript rarities, warrants to execute Charles the let and Queen Mary, several cop ies of "Don Quixote," "& hlater ' s Exotics Ornithology 6l. 65., a large number of illustrated books, a catalogue of the British Museum, "Binding Don Quixote" 31. 10s., and subscriptions of 1/. la. each _paid to several literary socie ties. It appeared that Mr. Hill had offered to pay 130/. to settle the matter, and that sum was paid into court, so that 194 18a. 2d. was the amount now in dispute. The Lord Chief Justiee, in summing up, said that the ques tion /or the jury was, whether the books supplied by the plaintiffs to the defendant ware necessaries, An infant could not incur liabilities except for necessaries, and to judge if these books were necessaries they must look to the age, degree, and lock! position of the defendant, and last, but not least, to his means. If a tradesman sup plies goods to an infant on credit he supplies them at his own id*. lithe defendant had sufficient means these books were innocent in themselves, and no doubt it was desirable that young men should not be confined solely to books used in their academical etudies ; but it must not go forth to the world that poor students were to incur these expenses simply because it would improve their minds; the question was whether the defendants means were such as to justify him in indulging in such extravagances, and that mast be tedged with reference to his means and not to the good hey would do him. His lordship then called the atten tion of the jury to the evidence WI to the defendant's pro perty, and left to them the quertion whether his income was such at to justify him in incurring these liabilities. After the jury had considered for some time in the box, one of them said that the difficulty they felt was that the plaintiffs had no means of finding out what the defendant's income was. Mrs. Westropp, the cousin of Him Higgins, confirmed her testimony with regard to the defendant having made a promise of marriage. t.tjeant Saen lentine said the defence he had to offer of the defendant was, that the charge had beengot up—the result of a wicked conspiracy between the two women. The question here was, whether he had been guilty of seduction, and he said be should, he hoped, be able to satisfy them by the evidence of the defendant himself, and other testimony, that there was ao ground for that charge, and that the object of the plaintiff's daughter and her cousin was to extort money from the defendant after his marnage , thinking that .he would rather= any amount than ye his name brought before the lir!Bennett, the defendant, was then examined. He stated that he was 33 years of age. He than went on to state the circumstances ander which he became acquainted with the daughter of the plaintiff, his evidence being to the effect that an improper connection existed be tween them almost immediately after their first inter view, which was continued for several months, and he said that he found her money upon every occasion. He said he regarded the young woman as a common woman, and never entertained such an Idea as to make her an offer of marriage. He also said that pre viously to the month of December, 1886, the plaintiff's daughter wrote to him for money, and he made an ap pointment to meet her in London, and they dined at the Solfeiino Restaurant, and she afterwards voluntarily accompanied him to a house in the Kennington-road, and when they parted he gave her 101. He met her agan at the same place a few days afterwards, and he then gave her another sum of 101. The defendant also said that he had complained to Miss Higgins of her keeping company with other officers, and he considered the connexion broken off, until she wrote to him to the effect that she wanted money, and must go on the streets if he did not give her some, and upon this he made the appointment to meet her on the Bth December. The defendant was subjected to a most searching cross examination by Serjeant Parry. He admitted he had spoken to another young woman at Kingston while he was staying there, but said he was not aware that she was a tradesman's daughter, and he denied that he was "loafing" about the town looking out for respectable young women for the purposes of seduction. He had never seduced any young woman. Several police constables and other witnemes were then examined, for the purpose of showing that the plaintiff's daughter was a person of loose character, that she had on some occasions been seen walking about rather late at night with young men ; but none of the witnesses could de to her having committed any act of actual impro p. It was admitted that her father and mother wore very respectable persons, and they appeared to have re sided at Kingston for a good many years. Serjeant Parry made a moat powerful reply on behalf of the plaintiff. Baron Martin having summed up the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages-2501. The Lord Chief Justice said that tradesmen who trusted infante must take their chance of that. They mud either find out what the infant's means are, or take the risk if they trust him without doing so. An infant could not bind himself unless the goods were necessaries, and that must be judged of with reference to what his means really were at the time he bought the goods. After considering for a few minutes longer the jury re turned a verdict for the defendant. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—MANcrnurrER, Aro. 1. Cow COVRT.—(Before Mr. Justice Hannen.)

THE MURDER OF ♦ 00)0LERCIAL SWELL= IN . - The trial of George Ham's, charged with the wilful murder of Barrett Zusman, at Shield , on the 15th Nosember, 1867, was this morning resumed Mr. Matthews, Q.C., and Mr. Bingley again appeared for the prosecution ; and Dr. Kenealey, Q.C., and Mr. Young for the defence. I:Tpin his lordship taking his seat upon the bench, Mr. Matthews said, in consequence of something which bad just come to his knowledge be had an application to make to his lordship, but he thought in the interest of the prisoner it should not be made in the presence of the jury, and he would ask his lordship to hear him in his pnrate room. After some conversation this course was agreed to, and the counsel on either side had a private interview with the learned judge, the nature of which did not transpire upon their return to court. The examination of the wit nesses for the permeation was then proceeded with. Mr. John Mantle, chain manufacturer, Birmingham, said he was in the habit of supplying Mr. Cohen, Zus. man's employer, with chains. The gold chain which the prisoner gave to Francis Ketley on the 12th May as secu rity fora loan of 21., and also the chain which he gave to Enoch Corbett on the lith of May in consideration of • loan of 7s. were placed in the hands of the witness, who identified them as being of his manufacture. The chain given to Retley he was able to swear, from a peculiar fashion in the finishing, had not been made more than eighteen months. The swivel attached to this chain was not of his manufacture, and had not been put on the chain by a jeweller. All the chains issued from his manufactory bore his initials, " J. M.," with "9 c." to indicate the quality of the gold. The chains produced did not bear theee letters, but this he explained by the statement that the links of the chain upon which the marks had been stamped had been re moved. The swivel of the chain given by the prisoner to Corbett had not been replaced by another, and its broken condition had been noticed at the time by Corbett, Harris stating in reply to his questions that, when at Chester recta the previous year, "a chap had smashed it." Martha Oarhett said that on the 30th November, the day after the body bad been found, and before a post, mortem examination had been made, she saw the prisoner and spoke to him of the murder repeating the belief then popularly current. that the deceased had been killed with a blow from a bncklayer's hammer. To this Harris replied, "No, he was shot with a pistol, getting over a style. There was a sharpish tinsel, but he had not had much help in himself when ho was got hold of by the throat. On the day the prisoner's house was searched by the police the prisoner said to the witness " They ma search my house, but they'll find nothing there; wish he had been in bell before he came here to be mur dered." The witness asked him what would be done with the property of which the m ur d ere d man h a d b een robbed, and • said they would take it to the " hot pot" at Birmitam. The witness as k e d hi m w h at that was, and be re plied, "It's a pl ace w ith a glass before it. They come to e glass and say. Hot or cold r it is hot they give you what they like; if it is ' cold' they come round and the thing is valued, and you get the worth of it." Paul Cetti proved the sale of a revolver (produced) to Harris at some date between the 23rd October and the 13th November. On cramming the pistol on Friday be found that the lifting pin was ovt of its place. That was the only thing that rendered the pistol unserviceable. He never knew the lifting pin of a pistol to get out of its place accidentally. • EXPRESS,' 3, lB6B.

Turnips an in a wed condition, the few that are kft are much affected by the yellow maggot, and we fear that farmers will not realise the half crop of which at one time there was a fair promise.

MARKET& OOTTON.—lavraroot, Aronsv I.—We have had • fair de mand to-day, and a very drm market, at id. per lb. advance in American description.. Other grades arm. The sales are 12,000 bales, of which 3,000 are for export and speculation. MITON GOOD&—Msscaarraa, Averse I.—The extent to which yarn and cloth declined list week led to considerable sales towards the dose. The decline was one causing heavy loss to producers, but it continued until Thursday this week, under the great to sell, and there woe abnoat a panic on Monday and Tuesday owing to the rtunoured failure of a large cotton porting firm at Liverpool, with heavy liabilities. The result has Gem tkat stocks of cloth to en enormous amount have been cleared off ; and yesterday, under a reaction at Liverpool in the price of cotton, =attempt was made here to advance prices again, both by spinners and manufacturers, to the extent of N. to g. The attempt was not wholly unsuoceesful at first, end in the excitement of the first reaction some contracta were given oat for cloth to make, but the market was quieter subsequently and bail been so to-day. The fact that =schemata had . bongbt so heavily at low pewee explains their unwil li ngness to uscresse their liabilities under leas disadvantageous circumstances. Very generally buyers have since declined to operate, but the feeling of the market is firmer at the clone of the week. WOOL AND WOBETED.—BRAD/011111. Ammer I.—The prat with has been marked by great quietness in the wool Wide. The trensactions have hem very small. There is little disposition on the part of spinners to operate. The principal demand is still to choice lustre wools, the . of which are extremely Arm; the middle and infe ri or sorts quite neglected, though remain ing pretty steady in price. There has been considerable activity in mohair and alpaca, at fair prices. Staplers generally seem wry hopeful as to the future, and are firm in their demands. There is a very business doing in wonted yarns. Export merchants confine their movements to inquiries as to prime, and to purchases to supply _pressing orders required to amort the stocks of customers aMoad. The new bullion's doing on home account, though the beet, is only small—below the average. purchases are made only to sandy immediate and pressing wants. Mod spinnert are well engaged on old con tracts, and are quite indifferent as to new busbies. Quotations are steadily maintained ; if there is a disposition on the part of any one to make a concession in price, it arises from the fact that orders in his case are running out. The some languor vades the piece market. The quieMme which has prevailed is the Liverpool and Manchester markets has had a corresponding d influence this department of our trade. The ex: povel on merchants are . doing little or no business. The American s recently supp lied their moats for some time to come. The home merehants And their operations checked by the protracted dne weather, which, as the smiths eel must continue to weer light summer goods longer than nen al, will defer and diminish the period for goo& usually produced for the autumn meson. The fall in cotton warps tends to render quotations easier. IRON AND COAL.—Mmoumeonoeon, Ames? I.—The condi tion of the pig iron trade sets the tendency to improvement noticed in last week's report. Holders are not so eager to quit at present rates. Some considerable transactions have taken place during the present week both in foundry and forge iron. (411:dation* remain unalteted.

Shipments to the oont , neat keep low, but the Scotch and Welch demand is optionally good. The borne trade is also much better. On the Tees manufactured iron of all sorts is in better demand except rham plates. The same elms of iron, however, on the Tyne puf so much inquired after. MIN continue to be shipped in considerable quantity, chiefly for Russia, which it is believed will modeue whilst the ports remain open. Foundrita are now pr,dty well employed both in the casting and pipe - ,artment. Rae iron k at a low ebb. The disadvantages MidiDosborougli has been la under with respect to dock accommodation it is Ix-bawd are lately to be remedied by the North Eastern Railway. 'The contend yoke trade show no animation. Shipment from all the north-eastern ports are compsnatively man. Coke is being stocked, and more ovene are being pot out in South Durham.

The Mantes Were by this time .t em high, and covered a large area of the tirel:!.., but, notwithstanding the scarcity of water, the men, by heaping ballast upon the burning wood, succeeded subduing and finally extinguishing the flames. An• t ascertaining that the bridge was safe, a passenger train. which was just due, and the luggage train, were permitie.t to cross, and steps were immediately talcil permanently to repair the bridge. hie supposed that the tire originated in the ignition of the hedge which rune beside the bridge and adjoins the piles upon which it is built._ [Advertixement.] HoLLowAr's FTLLS Ave OINTIIINT.—HBALTIN LoeT AND FODND.—After safely strumehet through the winter. multitude. will fall rictima to the threat an chest complaints. eo comae., in the t h e tint symptiass receive attention and judicious treatment, not only will Num g=w be averted, but old ailments will rove way, and bety r will be attained than wee enjoyed before the illness ti treatment for safety and certainty of 811.X.111 may Mao coutkiently relied upon an that discovered by Professor Holloway.
