ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTE ERN CIRCUIT.-- MANcuEsma, (Prfore Mr. Justice Hannan.) MllOll 1011 DANAON DONE Irr Jo Mgllo. During yesterday the case of Bee*ley v. the Inhabitants el the Salford Hundred was heard, the issue exciting con adorable interest. The action arose out of the recent riots in Ashton-under-Lyne, and its object wine to recover dameges for the injuries done to St. aliu-y'es Roman Catholic Chapel and priest's (the plaintiff's) home, on the loth and 11th of May. Mr. Hopwood appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Iliggin, Q.V., and Mr. Addison for the defendants'. The action was ',brought under an set of parliament of ancient date, but recently re-enacted by the 7th and Ath George IV., which provided that if any chapel, dwelling-house, or other building by a crowd :riotously assembled, feloniously belied, or in part demolished, the owner had a claim against the hundred. The statute required that he should go before the justices of the puce and enter into reeog- SiZAUCCP to prosecute the offender, and to comply with various other stipulations. From the way in which the *aunty meets such cases the jury was not troubled with any of these considerations. Further, the amount of damage had been arrived at, namely, 781. loe., which the hundred would pay , provided the jury held them to be liable. The jury bad to try just the matter of fact whether or net this was a felonious demolition, or part demolition, of the building in question. The facts of the ease were these :—Mr. Beesley was ono of the o ld iating pneets, and was perfuming his office on the evening Sunday the 10th of May, when information was eonveyed to him of what was proceeding in other parts of the town. Some time after the service had concluded, a mob assembled round his chapel, attacked the windows, and used an.. amount of violence which, taken in conjunction with the used by certain of the rioters, undoubtedly indittura felonious intent. Before, however,, they had time to commit very serious damage a force of constables arrived, and they were driven away. The attack was renewed on the following morning, when the rioters succeeded in entering the building, and were proceeding to demolish the furniture, &c., when Mr. Kenworthy, a magistrate, with a force of special constable's, came up, and the work of destruction was stopped. The Rev. J. Beesley . and a number of other witnesses were called, with a view to prove that the mob, by its actions and language, had a felonious intent to demolish the chapel. The Judge, in summing up, said there was no doubt that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, unless he made out that the chapel had been feloniously demoluihed, pulled down, or destroyed, whally or in part, by persons riotously and tumultuously assembled together. It would not be a demolition in whole or in part, unless there was an intention on the part of those who were engaged in that undoubtedly riotous and tumultuous assemblage to destroy the chapel as a chapel. The pulling out of a single brick of a house, if it was intended by those who did it, if uninterrupted, to pull down the whole edifice, would amount to a demolition in part • but if there wan an absence of that intention, then the mere doing of mischief to the chapel or house would not be a demolition, pulling down, or destruction in part, any more than a mischievous boy throwing a stone through a window would be a demolition or pulling down in part. It might be the first step towards it, but it must depend on the intention of the persona whether the act done, injurious in itself, was a partial demolition, pulling down, or destruction. He did not think, however, that there must be (as the coons I for the defence had sug gested), a destruction of the body, the carcase, so to speak, of the chapel, in order to constitute the offence. No doubt there was great difficulty in defining exactly what VIM meant by demolition. Ifiß meaningwould bebetter ex pressed by an illustration. If the rioters, having got inside the chapel, had set fire to it, they would have shown an intention to destroy it utterly ; so, on the other hand, if men had taken into the chapel crowbars, and begun to demolish the send woodwork and brickwork of the place, that would have been an act from which the inference would almost irresistibly have been drawn that they did intend to destroy the chapel as a chapel. If, however, the rioters had no other intention but to do mischief, to commit such acts as would evidence their hatred and scorn of the worship carried on there, or their hatred to the Irish party who were personified or represented, as it were, by the building they came to attack; if their intention was to pull down the figure sacred in the eye of the Roman catholics, and to trample upon it and destroy it, and that only, that would not be an intention to demolish the chapel. There was undoubtedly evidence upon which the jury might adopt either of these views. The crowd seemed to Lave uttered cries which, if they were to he taken an ex actly expressing their intention, would indicate an inten tion to destroy the place,—" Let's pull down the chapel," and PO on. But, as they must all unfortunately know, language in the mouths of low ruffians like those rioters did not always express the idea which was, prima facie, contained in the words. They were a means of expressing merely a highly-wrought state of fury. If the jury came to the conclusion that they really expressed the intention of those who uttered them, then the rioters would have fulfilled the language of the act. The jury must use their own judgment, and say what was their (the rioters') in tuition. -vdiet for the --- Tre — itkr, aft d r a few moments' consultation, found a eefendants. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. .6414 n Yilla‘al was Drought formally before Alder man Carter, for the purpose of being further remanded on the charge of receiving divers sums of money from various people by means of false pretences. Mr. Warner Sleigh said that notice had been given to Mr. Lewis with reference to two gentlemen be proposed to offer as bail. One was Mr. Melluisb, a licensed vic tualler, of Drury-lane, and the other was Dr. Wall ; but as the latter was not in attendance, he proposed to sub stitute the name of Mr. Curtis, of Bristol, for that of Dr. Wall. . . . Mr. Lewis said he had caused inquiries to be made about the proposed sureties, and must object to both of them u not being sufficiently responsible. lie could not resilient to the substitution of any other gentleman as bail without notice and time to make inquiries. Alderman Carter said he certainly should not accept any bail until due notice had been given and proper in quiries made. Mr. Sleigh then gave notice of bail for Wednesday (this day), and gave in the names of Dr. Wall, Mr. Curtis, of Bristol, Mr. Mellu6h, and Captain Jones, of Gresham house. _ _ _ . Mr. Lewis said he must ask for 411 hours' notice, to enable him to inquire into the Bristol hail. Alderman Carter mid if country bail were offered, reasonable time should be allowed for inquiries. Mr. tsleigli then withdrew the name of Mr. Curtis, and Valli that he should offer the remaining three to the iort to , llect the two most respolviible from as bail for Mr. ..... Mr. Lewi , s:dd he should object to Dr. Wall and Mr. M. Huh:ll—aid he understood that Captain Jones would h&' bail. The prisoner wa then again remanded hi custody. .fe,..(• .1101. y, of Warwick-lane, was summoned 1. fore Alderman Carter by James Newman inspector of ..t at Newgate-market, for unlawfully keeping calves in a iddinil in Oxford Arms-passage, between the hours of ti o'clock at night and 6 o'clock in the morning, con trary to the rules for regulating slaughter-houses, made by the C..niruissioners of Sewers under the powers of the City of Undmi Sewers Act. 1811. Mr. Baylis. jun., pmseented nn behalf of the Commis sieners of Sewers, and &till that the defendant kept a pound, as above described, in which calves were usually placed for slaughter but by the rules of the Commis sioners of Sewers he was not permitted to keep them there between the hours of 8 o'clock at night and 6 in the morning. The calves were usually ,bled during the even ing, and their melancholy bleating was a source of great annorance to the neighbourhood. The commissioners had therefore ordered the present prooesdkgs. Mr. James Newman, inspector of meat, said that after 8 o'clock at night on the aird of July and befuro 6 o'olook in the morning of the 24th he saw Ma; e..,ives in the defendant's pound. They were making a great noise, and were bleating to the annoyance of the neighbours. Many complaints lad been made of the plaintive noise the animals made after having been bled. The defendant said he did not bleed his. Mr. Newman said they were bled generally, and some times they were bled too much and died. Only that morning he had seen one brought out dead from the pound next to the defendant's. Mr. Martin (chief clerk) asked whether they did not bleed them first to whiten the flesh, and slaughter them afterwards? Yr. Newman replied that they did. Alderman Carter considered that it was great cruelty, and suggested that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals should be communicated with. He then tined the defendant 50s. and 21s. costa. The fine and costa were paid. MARTLEBONE. - ---• Jobs Criaimilis a tailor ' was brought up on remand, on the charge of attempting to murder his wife by throwing her out of a window. Mr. Henry Allen, of the Amoebae Institute for Im proving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women and Children, watched the CM. The wife, Mary Anne Crimmms, was led into court in • very weak state, and after being allowed to be seated for a time she fainted, and was led - out of court. The following evidence was then given. Harriet Parker, a married woman, said she resided in the same house as the prisoner and his wife, 8, James street, Lisson-grove. About half-past ten at night, on the 20th nit., she heard loud screams from the prisoner's room, and she went on t o th e s t a i rcase l an di ng and asked the prisoner to desist from his ill-usage. The wife called for mercy." She then put her head out of the staircase window, and saw the wife fall from the window of the third floor on to the lead flat. Previous to this she had heard prisoner beating his wife. Witness called out murder" and "police." A constable, 208 I), came and knocked at the prisoner's door, and after some time it was opened by prisoner, who .saul he had been i n b e d, aa d knew nailing of what had occurred. Daniel Frederick Kcrridge, 4 I) It., said he went to the Xmas pitL 208 D. When prisoner opened his room door he inked what they wanted, and he was asked where his wife was. He replied he did not know. Ho was then asked whether he had not thrown her out of the window. The window was shut. He said he knew nothing of it, as he was asleep. The room was in the utmost confusion, and bleed wee about the floor. A broken table was near the window. There had evidently been • severe re:AO going on. ltvidently both prisoner and his wife had been drinking. The distance from the third floor window on to the lead eat, where the woman fell, was 19 feet. Henry Case, house surgeon, Middlesex HoTital, mid the wife was brought to the hospital. On examining her he found her suffering from dislocation of the left hip joint. Several of the ribs on the right side were frac tured. There were a number of scratches about the front of the neck, and the body was covered with contusions. She had remained in the hospital till Monday. Joseph Hughes, • young man living at the back of prisoner's house, said he herd cries of murder, and heard something heavy fall. On going round to the house be found the injured wife lying insensible on the leads. In reply to Mr. Knox as to whether he had anything to say in answer to the charge, prisoner said when he went home his wife was drunk on the floor. She would not go into bed for him, and so he locked the door and went into bed. Previous to this they had had some words, but no blows. When the constable came he was in bed, and the knocking woke him. He told the officer be did not know where his wife was. That was all. Mr. Knox committed him for trial for the attempt to murder to the nest session of the Central Criminal Court. THAMES. Fare Noave, a saddler and harness-maker, aged 40, and lately dwelling at No. 27, Gill-street, Limehouse, was brought up on remand charged erith killing his wife Jessy Neave. On Sunday . morning last o ti few minutee before one O'clock; the prisoner's wife was observed hy . several per sona on the opposite side of the way hanging from the window sill of her dweililig, and a conaidguble height from the ground. She wps Duly parliayy dr e ssed, and just as the fell she exclaimed ' I will,' as it she way addressing some one in her room. She fell on the pave ment below and knocked down two men named Isaac Green and Henry Drake, who made an effort to catch her. She was killed by the fall. The evidence of Drake tended to prove that it was rather a case of suicide than of murder or manslaughter. He saw the unfortunate woman throw up the window of her room.get upon the ooping stone of the window, and then dam. He saw no one else near her in the room. He assisted in taking her to the surgery of a Dr. Nightingale, 200 yards off, and upon hie return to the house with the lifeless, remains of the woman he saw the prisoner in the passage of hie dwelling. The only testimony to sustain a charge of manslaughter was that given by John Drape, a police cowitable, No. 438 K, who said be took the prisoner into custody on the landing at the top of the stairs in his own house, and charged him with endeavouring to destroy his wife, to which he re plied, "I have done nothing of the kind." A woman, named Elizabeth Sharplin, came to the station-house and told Inspector Smith that she saw the prisoner strike his wife's hands, and unfold them one by one, while she held by the window sill, and the woman ropped and was killed. - _ _ . . Mr. Benson asked if this extraordinary statement was made in the presence of the prisoner, to which the constable replied in the affirmative. Mr. Benson said the statement of the woman Sharplin was in direct contradiction to the evidence of the wit neetes Green and Drake, and asked if she was forthcoming. The constable said he had been unable to find the woman, who had left her home. The prisoner most solemnly denied that he had offered any violence to his wife, or in any way contributed to her death. Mr. Denson asked it the woman Sharplin was likely to be discovered. Drape-1 think so, sir. Mr. Benson said he should remand the prisoner for one week. The prisoner said he had received a summons to attend the coroner's inquest on the body of his wife that evening. Mr. Benson—l am willing to take the same bail as I did yesterday (Monday) evening—one surety in 601. The prisoner—My bail has been in the courtall day, and only left a few minutes ago. Mr. Benson—l cannot part with you without bail, and you must go to prison. • GREENWICH. - .21fr. Fradcia George: WnliiiOni ei, -- iesiding at 4, Alex andra-terrace, Catford-bridge, Lewisham, appeared to two summonses, upon the complaint of 'Mr. Strick land, an officer in the service of the South Eastern Rail way Company, for refusing to deliver. ou two OCC3BiOTIS, the tickets which had been issued to him as a passenger, or to pay the full fare from whence the train originally started. It appeared that on the 30th June last the defendant was a passenger from Catford-bridge station to Cannon street, and had taken a return ticket. The return gurney was by the 8.16 p.m. train, which started -cross, but instead of prom Wing to the Cat ford-bridge station the defendant alighted at the preceding (Ladywell) station. On passing the collecting place his ticket was demanded, when he replied, "I have a Cannon street to Catford-bridge station ticket, at the same time putting his thumb and fingers in his waistcoat pocket, but not showing the ticket. Ile was told he must deliver up the ticket, when he passed through without doing so, and was then told he would be summoned. The second com plaint, on the Bth July, was precisely similar, except that the return journey was completed at Catford-bridge sta tion at midnight, when, instead of delivering his ticket up when demanded, he pointed to the red lights at the end of the train which he had left, and told the ticket collector he and the company might go to an unmention able place. The defendant, in answer to the magistrate, said that with respect to the first summons, he was accustomed to take a return ticket almost daily from Catford-bridge sta tion to Cannon-street to reach his offices in the City, and that on the return journey along the line, having clients at different parts, he had on as many as fifteen occa sion been allowed to leave at the Lewisham station and to re-enter and proceed by a subsequent train with the same ticket to his journey's end. lie therefore con tended that what the company had conceded at one sta tion could not be made to apply to an offence under the bye-law, and that having stated at the Ladywell station he had a ticket for the next station (and which he said he showed), he had a right to pass out without delivering it up, although he had, on returning from Ladywell to Catford-bridge, taken another ticket, and delivered that and the second half of the return journey en arriving at Catford-bridge. With respect to the second summons, he should be in a position to prove that he was upon pro fessional business at Maidstone on the day mentioned in the summons, and also the two subsequent days. Mr. Maude said that with respect to the first summons, in refusing to deliver up his ticket when leaving the company's premises an offence had been committed, and for which a fine of 6s. and costs would be imposed. The second summons would be adjourned for defendant to produce proof of being at Maidstone on the day named. TITI•ORT.VNT TO BATITERS.—The following direc tierns, drawn up by Dr. Christian and Dr. Sieveking, are published by the Itoyal Humane Society :—" Avoid bath ing within two hours after a meal. Avoid bathing when exhausted by fatigue or from any other cause. Avoid lathing wile ii the body is cooling after perspiration; but bathe when the body ue warm, provided no time is lost in getting into the water. Avoid chilling the body by sitting or standing naked on the hanks or ire bouts atter having been he the water. Avoid remaining too long in the weetee; leave the water immediately theni iR the slightest feeling of chilliness. Avoid bathing altogether in the open air if, after leaving been a short time in the water, there is a KIVA: of chilliness with numbness of the hands and feet. The vigorous and strong may bathe early in the moaning on an empty stomach. The young, and those that arc weak, had better bathe three hours after a meal ; the best time for such is from two to three hours after breakfast. Those who are subject to attacks of giddiness and faintness, and those who suffer from palpi tation and other sense of discomfort at the heart, should not bathe without first consulting their medical adviser." ACBTRALIA As A POLITICAL EXAMPLE.—Ob servers of passing events from an English stand-point must be at a loss what to think or believe about the political affair. of Australia ge e :: and of Victoria par ticularly. Whig and Tory pam there point to this colony as an example of the f mischief that is done by democracy, while advanced liberals exult over the success whichhas attended the adoption of the ballot as a part of our electoral machinery. Now, we colonists have an objection to being exhibited in this fashion by either party. In the first place, this is not a democracy t o an y greater extent than the United Oom is a democracy; and in the next place, notwiths tanding the success of the ballot, there are man thing s our electoral system which 111113 yea, defective, to abuses unknown in Eag land. So far from •s being a democracy, the people here are at the present moment struggling for the possession of these fundamental rights and privileges which are essential to a system of representa tive and responsible government, and which were fought for and won centuries ago in England. This colon held up by one party aa a shocking example, and by ano as a perfect cynosure, is in the :position of the man who had two wivee—one young and the other old. The o ld one picked out his back hairs, and the young one his grey Lairs, so that there was a danger of his becoming quite bald. Now, we Australians protest against being served in this fashion, and would rather appear as we are than as others would fashion us. For this reason we ask the reading public of the United Kingdom to listen to our own account of ourselves; we ask them to learn what we We doing, what progress we are making , how we get along socially, how we amuse ourselves, and what we mean to do next, from our own word of mouth.—Yeaeeerne dge, Jane 20.

THE PMITON COAL PIT ExPLOSIO:e.—Of the four men injured by the explosion of gas in the Oldfield coal pit, Fenton, on the 7th of July, two have died and a third is still in a dangerous state. The inquest on the two deceased, adjourned for the attendance of one of the injured survivors, was concluded on Monday afternoon. The coroner m summing up said the evidence showed • reckless working of the pit. The jury found a verdict of accidental death, adding an on of opinion that blame attached to the d butty and the ground bailiff, but the evidence did not warrant them in going so far as to say that any one should be made criminally re sponsible for the accident. A Co-OPELaTIArIt COAL COMPANY.—The annual general meeting of Messrs. Henry Briggs, Son, and Com pany (Limited), proprietors of the Wlntwood and Methley Collieries, was held on Monday. It is the first, if not the only, concern managed under a system of co-operation between masters and men. At the pits over 1,200 hands are employed, and all who qualify themselves by . keeping a book in which their wages are entered, and tag it to be verified before a certain day in July, are entitled to • certain proportion of half the per-oentage over ten per cent. of the divisible profits, the portion var y ng according to the nature of the work done. This year the sum of 3,160/. has been thus set apart, the company, after making ample allowance for all contingencies and capitalising 10s. every 101. share, being able to pay • dividend of 10 per cent. and 11 per oent. hones to the shareholders, in addi tion to 3t per oent. bonus to the men. NORTH-EASTERN BRANCH LINES.—The proposal of the North-Eastern directors to abandon the Chlluog and Pickering railway has aroused strong opposition in-Bye dale. A meeting has been held at lie , ',led over by Earl Faversham, at which the North - Eastern was described aa a gross breach of faith, and it was Wre s d i that the line ought to be made, and that its abandonment should be opposed in parliament. On the other hand, the North-Eastern is strenuously advocated at Melton, Scarhio, Draft d, and other towns, which are petitioning the directors to substitute a cheap line over the flat coun try from Melton, which would be shorter than the Gating and Pickering, would better serve the district, and would cost only one-third the amount per mile capital outlay.

Hinee last meeting,. held in the wring, a Madame and commodious stand has been erected near to the grand stand, as • kind of supplement, and on Una the first occasion when a summer meeting has been held at Bromley, it was well patronised. The abolition of the gate-money system has evidently its advantages se well aso its (hauberks, for there was • large number of roughs on the course. There were half-a dozen events on the card for deciaion, but in no case was there any exciting finish, and in the general run the fielders and backers had each a fair share of luck. Juanita, in the Nursery, served the turn of the backers, and in the neat race the fielders had to part again, Joyful winning a selling sweepstake. with comparative ruse from the two others. Volhyrua was made a warm favourite for the next selling stakes, but Barcelona, claimed from Mr. Headman at Windsor, won in a canter, and the original owner bought her. An outsider in Lady Ward won the Brumley Bum mer Cup, Pennine* the favourite, being easily beaten.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA.— RYDZ, TITBODAT EVENLYO.—This day commenced the annnal regatta of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, which usually almost immediately follows that of the Royal Yacht Squadron, to which it is a sister institution. The prizes are good, and the entrie s exceed in number any former occasion. The town is full of visitors, and to morrow we shall give a list of the principal notabilities who are now stopping here. Yesterday the general meeting of the members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club was held at the club-house, Mr. Charles Thelluson, the commodore, in the chair. The report of the club for the past year was read by the secretary, which showed that the club was practically in a very satisfactory condition, and twelve new members were pro posed and admitted. In the evening the annual regatta dinner was held at the club-house. The commodore, Charles Thelluson, Esq., occupied the chair; the vim chair was taken by the vice-oommodore, the Marquis of Exeter ; and there was a very full attendance of mem bers. This day the race was for the Town Cup, a prize of 1001., presented by the inhabitants of the town of Ryde. open to all yachts belonging to the Royal Yacht Club; a time race, and the Victoria oourre ; twice round. The following yachts entered : Cambria, Goshawk, Condor, Fiona, Stork, Menai, Orman, Nbbe, Al. bertine, Egena, Vindex, Manna, Though Dione, Prima Donna, Psyche, Mine, and Cambria wins the prize. The protest which was lodged againstthe Lam at Cowes, in the race for the Queen's Cup, has been considered by the sailing committee, and the prize has been awarded to the Lufra ; a proceeding which has given very general satisfaction, as the Earl of Strafford is a most energetic yachtsman, and although several times he has come in first, he has, in cmsequence of the allowance of time, been compelled to surre nd er the prize to others who have come in after him. The Tea Duty being reduced, Horniman'a Puro Tea is mid M. per pound cheaper.

Last evening the jury, who have for several days been engaged at the Cork wises in the ease of Sir Joseph M'Kenna, M.P., v. Thomas Masters Usborne, deliberated for two hours, and then found a verdict for the defendant on all counts, with sixpence cads. Da mages were laid at 20,0001. The alleged libel occurs in a letter written by Mr. tibborne, a holder of six hundred shares in the Nationalßank, of which Sir Joseph M'Kenna is manager. Mr. Usborne wrote to the board of directors of the bank in these terms of the plaintiff, in July, 1867; "The name of Mr. M•Kenna, our managing director, still appears as director in many schemes far more disreputable (Mr. Usborno had been before making a reference to the Dublin Trunk Railway)—viz., Peruvian Railway, Marseilles Land Company, Lundy Granite, and other companies, the shares of which are at a heavy dis count, this fact tending to depress our shares almost to a famine price. The shareholders and depositors have recently spoken out their disapprobation upon these son nections, aro disastrous to the success of the bank, and knowing that if the directors desire to regain the loyalty of shareholders and customers' confidence can only be m etered by a prompt correction of these errors. Favour me by informing me if the directors propose to take action to eatisfy the minds of anxious shareholders on this par ticular subject —Your obedient servant, Thomas Useoinnt." It was pleaded that this was a privileged communication. For the plaintiff it was represented that the letter was not written honestly, or to improve the position of the bank, or without notice. It was stated by counsel for Sir Joseph M'Kenna, that Mr. Us borne was animated by personal hatred to him, which he had avowed in other letters ; and that this had arisen from his having refused Mr. Usborne'e proposition soon after the commercial pan i c, that "the value of the bank shared', in a falling market , should be sustained secretly by means of the money of the bank"—a propoiation;it was added, made for the purpose of " securing to himself (Usborne) a sum of money ho had lent upon the faith of the shares of the bank, and which, if it had been carried out, would have rendered all those engaged in it liable to answer for it at the criminal side of our courts, as for a conspiracy." Mr. Usborne, it was further stshei, said at the time that M'Kennaif Sir Joseph did not yield to the proposition, it would cost him his place. " Sir Joseph replied he did not care, but that he would not yield to a proposition which, to put it on the lowest ground, might bring disaster upon the institution." Counsel observed also that the relations between Sir Joseph M'Kenna and the several institutions mentioned in Mr. Usbome's letters had involved the National Bank in no hies. Amongst the witnesses exa mined from time to time were Mr. Levine, secretary of the London Stock Exchange ; Messrs. James Parrie and Stewart Gorton, London stockbrokers ; Mr. Dubedat, a Dublin stockbroker ; Mr. Francis Reynolds, hon. secretary in the Stock Exchange, Dublin; Dr. MacSwiney, of Galway; Mr. Harris and Mr. Saunderson, of Dublin; and Mr. Usborne himself.

COTTON G001313.-11Lowar.srv.a. Al'OUNt 11.—Au advance in the price of cotton at Liverpool es,tabli.hed yesterday easy-r 4 spinners and manufacturers at 31anchester to make a etriastpunfl iug movement. Our market to-day has taken place under this hange, which has materially ihisked operation.. 'l'he Wmand for shipping yarns has rendered from it, and .this branch of the market has been exceedingly disappointing to spinner:. Ship pens were rtepitlNNl to give Etillay'N rates, and a large husine•s , could have been done at them, but they will not give an ads ;new of Id. per lb. and upward.. lint lit tle business has been done. For home tradeysurwa similar advance has Husked biI.iLIONN a good deal, and the sales have been only motheate. A fair busi ness offered •at Friday's quotation.. The advent , ' prifs• of cotton and yarn caused manufacturers, as before stated, to mi.e their trims also, yesterday, and as the pu.it ion of sellers was s good deal relieved by the recent bug" Nile% IMO stu c k, th y have been pretty firmly ailhered to. On the other hand, merchants and .Lipp. r* having recently supplied themselves freely hit, e shown little disposition to prise higher rates; and although in a few instinees sales 1, gee leen effeetedin shirting" on bitter UMWs than could have tern ob tained last Tuesday, yet business has been fur from ge weal at the advance in pi lees, which does not exceed lid. to :rd. prr piece. AN a rule, even yesterday it was found among hovers of cloth that there was 'treat reluctance to give the most trifling advance on lust l'uesday's rates. To-day Rome largeoffers have been made at late prices, but the inquiry even at them , is not a geneial one ; and an makers nearly in &Ileac.. have asked nites Which is there is no immediate prospect of obtaining, the bu-i -nos hasbeen on a very moderate seale. The continu,l diseon raging adviees from India, and from nearly all foreign markets, dispose buyer* to show less eagerness than they otherwise Rllad to press such offers. WOOLLEN.—Laine, Aces sr 11.—The attendance of buyer. at the cloth halls this morning has varied but little from our re ports for some time past. and the mme eircurnapeetion has been evinced in the atlettions which have been made. Few remota of any description of goods have changed hands to a Luger extent than ham been actually necessary, and in most cases busieda: has been conducted upon the " sorting-up" principle. In the coloured cloth hall the demand has run mostly upon low union melte:nut ; the transfer ham, however, not been large, though the parcels which have left the 'hall have been more numerous than of othermakes. Tweeds have not shown mutt alteration,and have been only sparingly transfened. A few parcels of ordinary cloth. and coatings have met with pureheama, though not in large quantities. The witner and beaver makes have engaged the moat attention in the white market, and as the season gets fur ther advanced a greater improvement will be perceptible. home tolerably good parcels have changed hands in light-grey and other mi Witneys and blue beavers are also in tolerably good request. A few medium-sized sales have been effected in this and other colours. Hair lista remain much in the same con dition as we had to meet last market day. The sales which have taken place have not been large, though a steady business mu tinies to be done. We have not to repeat any alteration in prima CORN.—Lnree, Auourr 11.—The supply of new wheat is exceedinflscanty, and as the demand is exclusively confined to it, there as a ready sale at 2s. per quarter above the prises of this day se'nnight. Not math mining in other articles, but prices are well maintained. Seen late, Arm= 11.—Here to-day the show of wheat was fair, mat of the smapies being of the new crop. Thulium was done at an advanee of Is. per load on late rates. Whitt sses made Me. to sea., end red. 2ns. to an Id. per lead of three bushels. The empty of grinding barley was easy limited, and prices remain without slterition. the range being from M. to Me. per qr. Oats, a small show, and a steady trade, late rates being well supported: white, are. to 38s. black, lie. to Ple. per 14 gene. Not many beans showing, a nd mires ruled !mite as high as heretofore, 48s. to 66e. per 38 stone. Flour, Pa. Bd. to is 10d. per stone. LIVIIIIPOOL, Acnenrc H.—We had a fair attendance at oar market to-day, and for wheat there was a good consumptive request, generally at an advance of 6d. per rental on the week. Flour in lair Inquest and le. per sack dearer. Indian corn in moderate demand and rather miler. Beans low and • shade comer. Oats rather lower. Oatmeal Is. per quarter cheaper on the week. LTNN, ArarllT 11.—The supply of old wheat to-day WAS mall, and thine was only • moderate supplyof new samples. ' The demand was firm, and prim ruled to 3s. pm qr. in favour. New white, 695. to Ms. ; newred, 665. to Ma. per 36 stone. Mac was very little doing in barley, the value of which ruled firm. The demand for oats was not brisk, but the supply icing short, holders asked more money, 1 6 e. to Me per 24 stone.
