It appears from the weekly return bayou uy the Registrar-General that the total deaths in Leedom in the week that ended on Saturday were 1,419. The number is almost the mate as that d the previous week, but itoL exhi hits an important decrease on the heavy returns that wale made in the latter half of November , and in the lhat . week of the present month. The rheas temperature of the air has been sin degrees hi in the . VITOO weasel December that hare now elapsed tUn it ints on the last three weeks of the • .prepons month- But though the mortality bas de= it is Ain rather high ; for lest week 78 deaths above the number that would hare been returned if the average rate of mortality for a week near the winter solstice had prevailed. Small-pox dirt : dedly appears on the increase ; the deaths from it In the last three weeks were, respectively, 10, 22, 34. 1 Nine ont of the 34 were returned as having warred in the Small-pox Hospital. Measles was fatal to 79 children, the corrected average, being 36. Four come of this latter complaint occurred in the sub-district of Belgravia, Bin Islington, 5 is the gab-dkohriet of St. Peter Walworth. There were 69 deaths burn scarlatina, and 20 from diph theria. - There were 70 from typhus, 26 of which cases were returned as "fever," 16 es typhus, 14 as typhoid fever, the remainder as pair* fever, Bronchia, carried off 181 persona. 69 of whom were 60 years old or up wards ; whilst the deaths referred to pneumonia, which it fatal chiefly to children, were not more 80. Bronchitis has declined slowly since the weather became warmer ; pneumonia fell rapici ly when the cold ceased. The mortality under broeichitis hae meetly exceeded that Which was referred to pneumonia. Eight nonagenarians died in the week,; the oldest having attained the age of 98 years. A child died from spasm of the glottis, 'in Brunswick-maws, St. Goals Bloomsbury.

Early yesterday afternoon the outbreak of another Are at the extensive waterside premises known as Davis's Wharf, Flormlydown, in a line with Tolley-street, and op- polite the Tower of London, created much excitement among the shipping in the upper part of the pool and on both sides of the river. The disaster appears to have ori ginated from some napeatasable 01010 in the jute or D warehouse situated at the rear al the rosin buildings sad separated from them by a narrow roadway. In this build ing were stored some thousand bales of jute stacked up to the roof, there being no floors. It is reported that the men bad just returned from dinner when the alarm was raised that the jute was on tire, and on some of the principals going to the spot they found 'evert' stacks in flames. No lights being permitted in this part of the building, it is difficult to account for the origin of the tire. As many bands as could be mustered at the time were instantly set to work to throw buckets of water on the blazing jute, but nnfortunately their services proved of little avail, for the fire travailed so quickly from stack to stack, and the smoke was so overpowering, that the men had to retire. The fact of the outbreak having been communicated to the brigade station, the steam, land, and other engines quickly arrived, as also the two floating engines. As is usually the case at large firer on this side of the water, there was a laxity of water to work the land engines. Much alarm pre vailed in ease the flames should extend to the large ware houses of the wharf, which contaioed • very large stock of oil, tallow, Sm., and that a similar catastrophe to that which happened about twenty years ago might occur, when the wharf and immediate neighbourhood were destroyed. The firemen, however, worked with their usual zeal under the direction of Captain Shaw, the superintendent of the force, and the conflagration was prevented extending beyond that portion of the warehouse where it originated. Daring the height of the fire, Captain Shaw received a serious injury to his hand by a slate falling from the roof. The official report states that upwards of 2,000 belts of jute and hemp were destroyed, and the roof of the warehouse. The owners of the whArf, Messrs. Curling and Co., are insured in several offices. A somewhat similar Fre took place in an adjacent warehouse in the autumn of last year. TEE 4 * EDNPSbAY EV 06 1 4 G, _ SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT ABERDEEN. A very serious accident took place in the flax- I spinning inenutactory of Mame. Prichard and Co., Broad ford, Aberdeen, on Monday morning, about half.part ten. It occurred in the preparing and @planing-room of the new pateot-mill—a building of flve storeys, being filled with spinuiug frames on the fourth and fifth storeys, while the lower storeye were occupied as dry houses—the engine and boiler being on the groped-floor. The hands had just re sumed work after breakfast, when a load crack was beard ; and Immediately the flooring of part of the fourth storey •was seen to be giving way, falling with • terrible mash, and carrying the flooring of the other two lower storeys with it. The fifth storey seems to have given way about the same time ; and the whole mass of machinery, flooring, iron beams, 'Woes, bricks, &c., fell too. There were some thirty or forty women, along with three or four overseers, employed in t hat part of the building at the time, but luckily most of them had just time to make their escape to a part where the flooring was still sound. Three of the workers, we regret to say. were seriously injured, while, as we write, there are still other three missing, supposed to be buried among the dibria, and an active search is being kept up for them. The three missing are—Margaret Johnston, aged about 60; Lydia Carpenter, between 30 and 40; and Susan Welsh, about 20. Those hurt are—Margaret Smith, 40, fracture of the skull and arm broken; Christina Rait, • young girl , fractured thigh and scapula, and other severe injuries ; Elspet blowat, wound in heed and slightly scalded by the steam, which immediately filled the whole building. It is remarkable, considering the number in the pl,ce and the extraordinary nature of the accident, that so meaty contrived to tusks their escape unhurt. It is im possible to say u yet what was the cause of the accident. The building io which it incurred was very strongly and substantially built, with iron beams supporting the flooring, and it was not very old. It is thought possible that the foundation may have given way helm the great weight of machinery contained in the building, the ground having at one time been of a somewhat marshy mature. In answer to inquiries made just before our parcel left, we were in. formed that the three women buried in the ruins bad been dug out. A sufficient number of doctors were is attendance immediately on the accident becoming known, and those injured were immediately conveyed to the infirmary and attended to.—Scotsinan. FSPLORION AT A FIREWORK MANUFACTORY.— Yesterday warning, between the hour. of eight and nine o'clock, an explosion took place at the factory of Mr. Clitheroe, an artist in fireworks, Clitherow-row, Weaver. street, opposite Peach street-hill, Bethnal-green, and sur rounded by dwellings of poor persona. Among the latter, at the time of the outbreak, a fearful scene was presented. Fathers and mothers were runuing in all directions with their children and what property they could lay their hands on, afraid of the powder magazine blowing up at the end of the garden. On the police arriving, they found the house nearly blown into ruins, from which came distressing cries for help. They extricated Miss Ellen Clitheroe, aged 20 years ; Mr. John Clitheroe, aged 61 years ; and Samuel Pel ham, aged 23 years ; all most frightfully burnt ; and they were at ones sent off in cabs to the London Hospital. Mrs. Clitheroe was also reemed—she was not severely burnt. The firemen by great exertions succeeded in saving the powder magazine, but the fire was not extinguished until consider. able damage was done. The cause is unknown, and the property is not insured. The same premises were on fire about six mouths ago. SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN A LIVERPOOL ClRCti&—Mr. Henry Delevanti, the trapke performer in Bell's Hippo drome, Liverpool, had one of his ribs and thighs broken during his aerial display on Monday night. Delevanti was going through the feats of Olmsr, when the knot of one of the ropes slipped, and he dropped heavily. A wire rope upon which Mrs. Delevanti performed broke his fall, or he would have suffered even more severely than he did. No time was lost iu conveying the unfortunate man to the Northern Hospital, where be now lies in as , avourable • condition as might be expected. Delevanti, we believe, tied the rope himself ; and as be considered it sufficieutly secure to risk his life upon it, there is every probability that the knot was good when he commenced his perforzosoce. Later on, however, the strain, together with the effect of the atmosphere, must have caused it to slip, and hence the accident. TonArco CHawngo IN CHURCH.—The Galt Re jormer says :—" A respected clergyman of Galt has called our attention to the abominable practice of tobacco chewing in church, adding, as lie did an, limner knew a place as bad as Galt for this filthy practice.' We fear this charge is too true, for in most of our churches we have personally felt the annoyance. In most of them can be found a ' select few,' whose jaws caw be seen going during the delivery of the sermon like those of a cow chewing her cud, and every little while the tobacco juice is squirted at the floor. but not unfrequently the dresses of ladies receive a share of the dis agreeable liquid."—Turonfo Globe.

This was the defendants' cue, The Lord Chief Justice intimated that he thought the Anatuial Sue was whether the book in mustiose was the property of the masters, lee., of the Mid&e Temple, end that would materially depend en whether the jury cense le the conclusion that it was the private and perusal of the plaintiff. _lf the jury were of a different= then the master* kn., would have a special property in the same as • court of Jaw had in all doormen 'in ' n us duripg the progress of a atrial. There was also a legal view of the question, whether the book, though the private pro geny of the p laintiff, was not in the legal custody of the delthdanta till the termination of the inquiry. He should ' have that question also to the jury, and in the event of their finding those points in favour of the plaintiff, he should ask the jury to amass the damages in the event of the emit above deciding in his favour as to the led* of the jury, subject to the points he should reserve. Mr. Chamber laid his proposition was that the beestkees were a domestic tribunal, and did sot possess the powers of erdieary courts of justice in retaining documents produced by voluntary witnesses. The Lord Chief Justice said he meet not be taken am giving any opinion on the case. It was only to guide either party in moving, if they objected to the mode he should leave the case to the jury. He thought the issue of frau duleptly taking the book might be withdrawn from the jury, as it did not affect the case in the lomat. Mr. Serjeaut She. addressed the jury—Referring to the plint ?. evidence before the henchers, which the learned oar leant said was • flourishing description of the mines, bespoke of the gold that had been obtained from them, and of their fair prospects, leading every one to believe that • fairer or more honest prospectue.than that put before the public in reference to these mime never appeared on the Stock Exchange. In the moutime Mr. Brown went before the beechen soother point of the inquiry, and they found from him that there was not a book tele heed in con nexion with the company except this private book, which was never intended to en the light of day end that book the benches thought it their dut to Obtain from that gentleman, in order to facilitate the Inquiry, and give Mr. Seymour the benefit of it, and of showing that he had become the dupe of others, and the beechen the power of censuring or of disbarring, if necessary, Mr. Seymour, if he bed been an accomplice in fraud. On the evening of the Bth July this book, which contained letters to the mansger of the mines is America and others relating to the money transactions, and his contrivances for raising money at anima when the oompany was in imminent instal. Toney and was sure to blow up, was produced. Those letters showed that the plaintiff, who took an active part as manag ing director, had written to the managers of the mien re questing them to send advice. that would justify the decla ration of *dividend of S per cent. If the manager would advise it, the directors, he said, would arrange it, and some thing must be kept tack of a stertllng ohmmeter for • climax. That we the gold dist that we. to be throws into the eyes of the public and those upon the Stook Vachange. (anghter.) When the book was produced the plaintiff knew ate importance. hie knew that he was detected, .es letter after letter showed clearly that • fraud, if sat originally and be did not undertake to prove it), was being perpetrated with reference to these mines, and his object wu to regain their possession, and from the plaintiff's manner it appeared to the bcnchere that if Mr. Seymour wu not an accomplice be was the dupe of the plaintiff. Mr. Seymour went before the beechen to establish Mr. Soy mour's innocence with regard to the Weller Gold Mining Company, but it turned out, on the production of the letter, that one or other of them, or both, must be ruined. The learned serjeantexpreerd a hope that although the plaintiff bad possession of the letters, some means would be found for getting the cadent' of the letters on the notes of the evidence before the benchers, in order that if an appeal was ' nude from them to the proper tribunal the latter would be able to form a correct judgment on all the facts and circum stances connected with the charges made against Mr. D. Seymour. The learned serjeant spin referred to the great importance of these letters is the elucidation of the charges, upecially u Mr. Sey mour declared that he knew nothing of their contents, never haviog wen them before, and again alluded to the importance of honour and integrity to • barriatee, and the impossibility there was of forming • right judgment in Mr. h. Seymour's case without them. The learned serjesnt'a peroration was a glowing description of the liberality and freedom of the profession in opening to talent the highest offices of the realm, and be sat down amidst loud applause. Mr. M. Chambers, in summing up the plaintiff's case, characterised the learned serjeant's address as weak in argu ment, though great in oratory. The learned counsel read the evidence given by the plaintiff before the beechen on the Bth July to show that he had cause to complain of the interruptions whilst he was giving his evidence, and to re moristratei. The plaintiff was unjustly and improperly as saulted and given into custody. They all concurred in the assault, but the struggle was whether it was done per sonally by any of the beechen or by their stout robust porter slope, who, like a good soldier, had obeyed orders. He characterised the attempt to get rid of the responsi bility of having given the plaintiff into custody as paltry. The book was no tourer in the legal custody of the dr fendants than the plaintiff chose to perm it, and the moment he withdrew his permission it wee at an end. The examination on the letters was at an end on the Bth July, and the book was no longer required. He denied there was any fraud or deceit used by the plaintiff in regaining possession of the book ; and in re ferring to the evidence of the bendier, he said they had given • peculiar colour to their Proceedings, and in giving their evidence they had all, with the excep tion of Mr. Bovill, appeared in the witness-box as advoutea, witnesses, and partisans. They were all soling illegally on the 9th July, and if Bye had met with his death in the souffle the plaintiff would not have been liable for murder. The plaintiff objected to the use of the letters to re lieve Mr. D. Seymour from any stigma that attached to bim. In conclusion, the learned commit called upon the jury, now that they had all the facts before them, to say that the plaintiff wu an honest man by the substantial damages they would give him. (Applause.) The Lord Chief Justice oomplaioed of the public applaud ing the conclusion of every speech. It was like turning a court of justice into a theatre. A juryman said it was disgraceful conduct. It. being five minutes to seven o'clock before the learned sunned had concluded, his lordship deferred his summing-up till to-morrow (this day.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Doc. 23. Sittings at Nisi W Prins in London.-03stor• Mr. Justice. ales and• COO2OlOll Jnry.) PROWSK V. LOXDALL—LIBIL. The plaintiff was a stommason and builder at Keesing ton, and he was formerly secretary to the Kensington corps of the 29th North Middlesex Volunteers. In January last there were some proceedings against him in the Broundoe County Conn, and the following report appeared in the West iliddlesex Advertiser, of which paper the defendant was the publisher " Viscount Enfield v. Prowse.—This was a judgment summons to recover 141., moneys received by the defendant from the members of the Kensington de tachment of the 29th North Middlesex Volunteers, and not accounted for. The defendant, William Prowls., is a mmon, living at 11, Park-terrace, Earl-street, Kensiogtoo, and was sergeant in the above corps until expelled. His Honour asked the reason he had not paid the moneys into court, to which the defendant pleaded inability, and further stated that be had sent a men to Mr. Pixley mask him to let him off will paying 11. a month, which was agreed to. Mr. Tripp, the honorary solicitor to the cone, objected to the settlement, on the ground that Captain West had beep so kind as to refrain from taking proceedings against him in the police•court, where it should have been taken at first. A messenger here brought a letter to Mr. Tripp from Mr. Pixley, which caused the former gentleman to remark to his Honour that be would leave the ease to the decision of the court. In answer to a question from his Honour, the defendant said he would be very happy to pay 11. dotnt end 11. per month if be was able ; to which his Honour re• marked that his (defendant's) position was not' a very enviable one, as he had intended to have hint • committed for embezzlement but for Mr. Pixley agreeing to take 11. down and 11. a mouth. Verdict accordingly. There was another case against the defendant for moneys due for a dinner supplied to fifteen volunteers by order of Captain West, who gave the money to the defendant to pay, but who appropriated the same to his own nee. Mr. M'Doeald, the plaintiff, after hard begging on the part of the defendant, consented to let him off by paying the amount due in one month. Since the above was heard in court it has been found that there are invent' other sums which have been embezzled." The plaintiff now complained of this article as a libel, and he also alleged special damage. The defendant pleaded that, so far as the statement per- ported to be a report, it was • correct amount of the pro needing. in • court of justice ; and as to the remainder of it, that it was true. Mr. Ribton and Mr. Daly appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. G. Demean and Mr. Pl,ilbrick for the defendant. The plaintiff was examined at some length is refereeee to his accouats and his connexion with the corps, sad a creditor of hie was also called to state that, havingsees the report in question; he had in consequence sent to demand his debt, with tho iotention of having uo further transactions with the plaintiff. On the ether hand, evidence was given in support of the pleas in justification, and the details were of a lengthy and voluminous ammeter. The case was partly heard yesterday, and the hearing was resumed this morning. Mr. Ribton, st greet length, addressed the jury in reply, and io the course ef his speech he seemed times complained of the jury hewing made up their minds before they had heard the ems to the end, sad of their not paying proper attention to what be was saying ; and this produced some thing like an altercation between him and some member' of that body. Mr. Justice Willes, on the last of them occasions, Geetlemea of the jury, I have repeatedly aMempted to beep the leveed counsel's mope decent towards yog, hut in vain, and I now recommend you to heat all that he has to spy, and to say nothing yourselves. ]I r.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. —Die. Ft (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) RZ BALLARD. The bankupt wee an ironmonger, of Dockbead, Bother halve Thir was the adjourned examination sitting. Debt' about 1,200/.. Mr. R. OrMlitbs opposed ; Mr. Dowse supported. The Registrar said there was reason to suspect that the bank. rapt had not folly mounted far his property, and directed an adjournment for a goods account. IY an routia vellum cots. The bankrupt bad bees an oMcer of the Triiiity-house,and has a e. pension of 3004 a year. He now applied for his dis charg Mr. Bagley opposed. The bankrupt bad obtained credit in several quarters, by representing himself as • gentleman of landed property in Huntingdonshire. An adjournment was ordered, and he was required to give a detailed account of his property, and the disposal thereof. • ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME OIROUIT.—HIMITOILD, Die. 23. tßefore Mr. Baron BramwelL) The learned Judge, in his charge to the grand jury, laid he supposed he must not oongratuLtte them upon the state of crime is the county, for it was such an bad readapted it aeceasary to bold a winter assize, which was • rather unusual thing for this county. The cases, however, were not of an !aggravated character, and he did not believe 0,17 would Sod any difficulty in dealing with them. John Smith, alias Ca:duvet, 19, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously setting fire to • stack of clover hey, the property of James Ilillatt Summers, at Bishops Btortford, _ . . Blum Bramwell told the prisoner, who exhibited the greatest possible unconcern and indifference, that he did not appear to be aware that he had pleaded guilty to • very wrong and wickedact, and he raked him whether he had any explanation to give of his conduct. The prisoner replied that he knew be had done wrong. The learned judge observed that be saw it was stated in the depositions that when the prisoner was apprehended M gave as a reason for committing the act, that he wanted to be sent away. He could aware him, however, that if he expected be was going to be sent to another country, or where gold might be obtained for stooping to pink it up, he was very much mistaken. He should have probably sen tenced him to • short period of penal servitude, but persons who were supposed to understand the subject thought that this was a bed thing to do, and he should, therefore, order him to be kept in penal servitude for six years. Charles Moore, 28, pleaded guilty toe mmilar offence, and be was also sentenced to six years' penal servitude. Walter Wilson, alias Walter Thornton, 30, a gentlemanly looking young man, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering • bill of exchange for 371. 10s., with intent to defraud. Mr. Clarke conducted the prosecution. The circumstances of this case were somewhat remarkable. It appeared that early in the day on the Ist of August the prisoner went to the London and County branch hank at Ware and asked the clerk to discount a bill for 371.10 a., and be was told to call 111110. He did so about one o'clock, and be then saw Mr. Peek*, the manager, and presented the bill to him. It was at two months' date, ant purported to be drawn by Mr. Cope**, a tradesman in the town, upon Messrs. E. and C. Norton, and these names appeared upon it as acceptors. There was no such firm as E. and C. Norton carrying on businese at Ware, but a Mr. Ebenezer Norton, a rope maker, lived in the town, and there was no doubt that it was in tended to represent that this gentleman and his brother were the acceptors of the bilL The manager declined to discount it, and the prisoner inquired of him whether be knew anybody in the town who would be likely Ito do so, and he said he did not, and the prisoner left. In an hour afterwards he again made his appearance at the beak and produced the bill, and showed the manager that it bore an additional name upon it as an endorser, that of Mr. Casa, a minder, residing at Ware. The manager still declined to nub the bill and the prisoner went away, and Mr. Peeks having suspicion that something was wrong, went out to make Inquiries, and as be was returning he met the prisoner. and in consequence of what he bed heard he asked him to let him look at the bill. The prisoner at once handed it to him, and he then Informed him that the signa tures to the bill were forgeries, and that he most accom pany him to the polio...station. He then said that if there was anything wrong about the bill he had nothing to do with it, and be had received it from a person whowas wait ing at the railway station, and whom he described as a short man with bushy whiskers. The inspector of polies went to the railway station to see if such a person bad been there during the day, but he could not discover any trace of a per son answering the description given by the prisoner. In answer to the charge the prisoner read • long and ingenious statement to the jury, in which be asserted that he had been made a dupe by a person whom he had casually become acquainted with a short time before, and whom lie had met accidentally in the town of Ware on the day the occurrence took place. He urged also that his conduct in readily giving up the bill when he was asked for it by the manager of the bank was that of au innocent man, and he declared that if the police had gone at once to the railway station they would have toned the party from whom he had received the bill. In conclusion he said that he must inform the jury that he bad given a false name in order that he might not bring disgrace upon those who were connected with him, and that other wise he should have been in a position to show them that 1 he was in a respectable position of life, and that there bad been no stain upon hie character until this transaction. The learned judge having summed up, the jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Reichard, the governor of the gaol, informed the court that he had reason to believe that the prisoner was very respectably connected, and that no complaint bad ever been made against him before. Baron Bramwell said it was impossible for say one to give credit to the statement of the prisoner • but the bungling manner in which be had endeavoure d to commit the affirm satisfied him that he was not a practised forger, and that this was probably the first act of the kind that be bad committed. The sentence therefore would be a light one, and be should only order him to be kept to hard labour for one year. DrbEllthilt THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. John Shaw and William Coneen appeared in discharge of their recogoicances to answer the charge of keeping an lottery. e charge against the defendant• was, it will be remem bered, that they had opened a Imager in aid of the Lanca shire Distress, that in connexion with it they had started an ill4al lottery, and that they intended to devote the pro ceeds of the hamar and lottery to their own purpcess. The cam was adjourned after the first hearing in order that the defendanta might prepare a statement of their accounts with • view of showing that they had acted in good faith. The accounts were now produced. Mr. Corrie—ln this case there is, of course, no doubt that the defendants have bean acting illegally. That is admitted. In the way that it is placed before me, the only question is the amount of punishment. The papers and document• produced do not satisfy me, as I thought they should, that there was • committee acting between these persons and the public, to see that every sixpence was applied in a limper manner. At the same time I have not arrived at the co•clusion that it was intended to cam , on what is called a swindle. The defendants have acted illegally, but t►e law is vindicated by these proceeding. It seems to me that • small term of imprisonment will be analcieot to meet the justice of the case. I shall commit them both for 14 days with hard labour. The prisoners, through their counsel, expressed an inten tion to appeal, but ultimately accepted the magistrate's decision. MARLBOROUGHZISEET. Henry Farrow, a living in Blue-croerstrest, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhit porter, t as follows : Edith Burnett, a respectable - looking young woman, stay ing with some friends in Soho, rid—Thu morning, about one o'clock, I was returning with a friend from Um house of some friends where 1 had bar visiting.

EXECUTION AT . DURNAM. The execution of John (lox for the murder of Ann Halliday took place at Durham yesterday morning. The prisoner and his wife, whom Irish people, lived in a cot tage at Hobbletrot, near Durham ; and Hrs. Halliday, who was 83 yesre of age, occupied apartments separated from theirs by • thin partition only. On the night of the 10th of August Mrs. Halliday was brutally murdered ; bat the Oozed were the first to give the alarm. Suspicion at tached to them from the fact that any noise in Mrs. Halli day's room moat have been been by them ; and at the trial at Durham assizes both man and wife were convicted and senteoced death. Thelwoman,'heingsnorinte, was respited ; the man has suffered the extreme penalty of the law. Since their condemnation Cox has not (leased to declare his inooeence, and his wife has beat equally as emphatic in her deeial of the charge. On the night preceding the execution the male prisoner, who has eonducted himself as a penitent Christian, under the ministration of Canon Platt, the Roman catholic clergyman who has attended biro, retired to rest and slept until five o'clock In the morning, when he arose and dressed himself. He was, however, so ill that he was obliged to lie down again, and he then slept until seven o'clock. Shortly after that hour Canon Platt, who bad pre viously read a mass in the catholic church, visited the pri soner and administered to bimtbe sacrament. At the request of the rev. father, Cox then took • little breakfast, and at 9 o'clock he the the proceesion and proceeded to the scaffold. In the area in front of the county gaol some three or four thousand pectoris of the lowest claw of the popu lation of the district bad assembled. The doomed man ascended the drop unassisted. His face was of comes-like pallor, and he repeated io • quivering voice the word' "Lord Jesus receive my soul." As Askern, the hangman, drew the white cap over his bead he seemed to cling to these words with extreme fervency, and at the last he gasped them forth in • weeping tone that was extremely affecting to bear. After the bolt was drawn the body remained for a moment motionless, then fol lowed two convulsive starts, and the retribution of the law was complete. Al the drop fell several Roman catho lio people to the crowd went down upon their knees and re peated prayers for the departing soul. Confined io the gaol, the wife of the condemned culprit, herself under sen tence. became violeotly agitated on hearing the prison-bell tell the death-knell of her husband ; and she exclaimed in. cerantly, "Oh. Johnny, Johnny ; he's innocent. He wouldn't hurt • fly." At 10 o'clock the body of the culprit was taken from the scaffold and interred within the precincts of the gaol. The behaviour of the crowd was decorous and quiet. MARKETS. TALLOW.—Toganav Svmeneo.—The market was steady to-city.

This market closes on Wednesday evening till Monday morning. 00110N.—Lregitroot,, Dec. 23.—The business to-day has been upon a large seals, with dearer prices. The sake are 39,000 bales, including 500 American, 224 d. to Ziid. ; 15,120 Surat, 120. to 19fd. ; 400 Egyptian, Mid. to 25d. ; 70 Pernsm, 24d. ; 960 Bahia, Slid. to TM. ; 10 Marsobam. 231 d. ; at which 12.000 are for speculation and export. The week's import is 107 bales. COTTON GOODS.—BLaweersren, Dec. 23.—We have bad • very strong market for yarns, bat the amount of lurid ness has not been large, though sales to • fair amount have bean made. The market has been a good deal stimulated, no doubt, by the reports from Liverpool, where the sales of cotton to-day have again ben Loge. We should have bad a more extensive business in yarn had spinets been content with more moderate prices. Generally speaking they are making an advance on the rates of lest Tuesday, and some et them replies a rather considerable rise. At Saturday's terms • very considerable bueiness could have been dose to-day ; at least so sellers report, but there is • general fin. pension amonst spinners that we shall have much more activity in January , with higher pricee, and they are consequently reluctant to enter into engagements of any moment in what they regard • transition stets of the market. In the cloth market some houses report • more cheerful feeling and ratbsk more business, but this account is not gene/ Idly corroborated. Manufacturers have been very firm in their demands, and in some oases have been inclined even to ask rather higher rates then last week, but which could nut then be obtained. Buyers, however, seem somewhat obstinately to decline business. The business has been by no means large when compared with the extent of inquire, which has been considerable for several descriptions of cloth, including T cloths, shirting, and printers. Some of the printing cloths lately contracted for ere now in poem of delivery, and being made chiefly of Burst cotton have disappointed expectation. The printers complain of them very much. Still, however, the conviction of sellers of cloth is that we shall have still highs prices, and they have steadily refused offers to-day, even when an approxiniation to their own priors bee been made. Is. react reports of this market attention has been tolled to the fact that in various parte of the cotton district spinners nod manufacturers who had wholly or partially stopped their mills have obtained contracts recently for goods which have run out of stock and for cloths of descrip tion hitherto not made, and that consequently they have resumed work on full time. It will be seen, from Mr. Parnell's report to the Central Executive Committee Yes terday, that at Burnley, Blackbure, Bury, Charley, lies linden, Rochdale, and some other places, there is • decease in the number of person receiving relief of 4,434, and an increase in other towns of 2,031 ; leaving a net improve ment of 2,403. This improvement will probably be carried somewhat further by more mills resuming work after Christmas ; but it must not be taken for granted that the improvement will be carried to any great extent, or that it will be permanent, with the present prospect, of a supply of cotton. Buyers for the United States wales for the continent of Europe now make their appearance in the Liverpool mutat for Banda and notwithstanding the heavy imports of the lest atwo sieeths, the stock of that kind of cotton in Liverpool wee , reduced to 132,940 We', making, with all other description, i only 219,930. If all the mills here and abroad were fluorin full time it is estimate.' that it would take Nearly 5,000.000 bales to keep them going, and now that the supply from the fibatliern States of.

Many cases of dying pains" in the back, shoulder, neck, and head are daily cured by rubbing Holloway's Ointment over the pit of the stomach and right side. A patient writes: "After trying the moat etpertenced prarti• tioners and olvanista to vain, your Ointment, after ten rubbings over the right side, completely removed the misnamed neuralgia from the head and shoulder, though I believe your Pills Judi tated my cure." This testimony is as encouraging so unsolicited almost all the low. nervous, irritable feelings of fldgetting man. kind spring from defective action in the liver, and can only be remedied by clearing that organ of sawed or surplus bile.
