'This cess is likely to be tried on Friday. fittinp at Nisi Pries at Weetcoinstea.--(Befere Mr. Justice Crompton and a Special Jury.) HALL V. 81101PLE.—ALLIOLD LUNACY,. This case was resumed this morning, when Mr. Justice Crompton summed up to the jury, goieg minutely through the evidence. With reference to the allegation as to the plaintiff's infidelity, his lordship said that he thought the jury might take it that that bad not been proved ; and as to the charge of drunkenness, the evi dence on both sides was most conflicting. He thought that when the action was pending it would have been advisable on the part of Dr. Webb not to have gone to see the plaintiff and examine him as to the state of his mind at the sugges tion of Mrs. HalL It was admitted by the plaintiff himself that he had used foul expressions to his wife, and there could be no doubt but that both husband and wife had for years entertained a very strong aveesion to each other. In conclusion, he said, that the jury having weighed all the testimony which had been adduced during the program' of the mud, wouldsay, firstly, whether they believedthat thecerth grate given by the defendant wasmadernalicionsly ; secondly, whether the certificate so given was false within the know ledge of the defendant ; thirdly, whether the defendant, acting as a medical man, had been guilty of culpable negli gence, and had culpably, negligently, and improperly, and without reasonable and probable cause, and without making due inquiry, made & certificate untrue in fact ; and if they found that he did so, then the action would lie. Then, fourthly, he would auk them whether they would find that the defendant bout fide believed what he had certified. Fifthly, whether the defendant believed that, in granting the certificate, he was acting in pursuance of and under the authority of the act ; and sixthly, whether, if the defendant had been guilty of malice, or of culpable negligence, he could be considered as acting in pursuance of and under the authority of the act. The main questions for their deci sion would be, whether there had been negligence on the part of the defendant, and whether he had signed the cer tificate as to plaintiff's lunacy maliciously, it being false in fact. The jury retired at five minutes before one o'clock. At twenty minutes to three o'clock the jury came into court, when The Foreman said—We find a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Justice Crompton—You conclude that the defendant signed the certificate without reasonable and probable cause The Foreman—Yea ; and that he negligently and without probable cause signed the certificate whereby he caused the confinement of the plaintiff. Mr. Justice Crompton—Then, you fi nd the certificate was false in effect, ad that the plaintiff was not insane. You think the defendant was guilty of culpable neglect The Foreman—Certaioly, my lord, we find that there was very great negligence m ascertaining the state of the *infirm mind. Mr. Justice Crompton—You assume that the plaintiff was sane in point of fact . The Foreman—Yee. Mr. Justice Crompton—Do you find that the defendant gave a certificate which was false to his knowledge? The Foreman—No. Mr. Justice Crompton—l quite agree with you in that. Do you find that the defendant was guilty of malice ? The Foreman—No, my lord. Mr. Justice Croon Then as to damages? The Foreman—We think that the defendant did not in duce Dr. Guy to sign the certificate, but we Diu* he was guilty of neglige nce , and we find a verdict for the plaintiff for 1501. Mr. Justice Crompton—Now I have to put it to you, as the point may be raised, whether you think that the de fendant, when he gave the certificate, acted bout fide, and whether he considered, when he gave the certificate, he was acting under the act of parliament and fully believed in the truth of the certifies!e he gave? The Foreman, after consultation with the jury, said—We believe the defendant did not take proper precautions in fulfilling the duty imposed on him by the act. Mr. Justice Crompton—l shall rule that if he acted negligently be was not protected by the statute. Mr. Gordon Allen—But the jury find that he wax autho- rised by the statute. Mr. Justice Crompton—No. they . Mid that he believed he was. They do not find so in point of fact, and I don't find so in point of law. A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff—damages lsof. His Lordship then discharged the jury, thanking them for their atte nd ance during the sittings. After term sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall.—{Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) WOOD L. LORRONT. This was a part-heard case for the recovery of the amount of five bills of Exchange for 1.3371. 10a each. Mr. Lush, Q.C., Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Tapping were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Garth for the defendant. When the case was called on, Mr. Bovill said the parties had agreed to send the matter in dispute to an arbitrator ; and a verdict was entered for the plaintiff, subject to a reference. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. A rather singular charge was brought before Mr. Alder man Phillips, who wassitting yesterday for the Lied Mayor, which tends to show the fear that exists amongst the in habitants of London of being assaulted by prottieg parties. A man named William Robinson, described as a greengrocer, was brought up charged with having demanded by means of force, and with intent to steal, Is. from • person named Win. Graham, under the following ClPBUZ stance*: The complainant resides in the Queen's-road, Peckham, and it appeared from his evidence that he was driving a horse and cart in Fenchurchottreet on the previous night at about • quarter-past twelve. He was accompanied by his wife, who was sitting on the seat by his side, and a man named Elliott, who was sitting oa the Boor of the cart behind the seat aad out of sight to any passers-by. The horse was trotting quietly along, and while so proceeding • man suddenly ran forward and laid hold of the horse's bead and stopped it. and the prisoner demanded • shilling of him, caught hold of him, and would have dragged him out of the cart had it not been for his wife, who pulled him back spin. His friend who was in the back of the cart jumped out and caught hold of the prisoner, and he also jumped out and struck the pri soner a blow with his fist which knocked him down. His friend, Mr. Elliott, then caught hold of the prisoner, and they struggled together, and both fell to the ground, and the prisoner got away and ran of ; the other ran off in another direction. They both followed the prisoner and overtook him, but owing to the circumstance that there was • fire a short distance off no policemen were to be found, and they conveyed the pri soner to Seething-lane station, where he was taken into 'custody. The complainant was evidently under the im pression that the prisoner wanted to rob him. This statement was corroborated by Mrs. Graham and Mr. Elliott, who, however, stated that be did not see the other man at all. The police-constable, 541, who had the prisoner in custody, said he had been to the address given by the pri soner, and found It to be a correct one. Mr. Alderman Phillip was on the point of committing the prisoner for trial, but on asking him what be had to say, the prisoner, had face appeared much bruised, replied that be had no intention whatever of assaulting the complainant or of robbing him ; the whole affray arose out of • mistake. He was left on the previous even ing to take one of his premises io the Dover-road, his partner having gone out between five and six o'clock with the horse and cart, taking a young woman with him whose name was Annie Gilbert. He waited at home until 11 o'clock, when the young woman returned without his friend, and he asked her where Bob had got to, the man with whom she bad gone out in the cart, and she said she did not know • he had fallen in with some of his mates, got • drop to o much, and got into a row, so she left him. Thinking from what she said his friend was not capable of driving, and as the young woman.jaaid she thought she could fin d him out, be set off with her in search of him. They went to Whitechapel, and were 'coming down Fenchurch street. They saw the complainant in his cart, and be said to the young woman, " There's Bob," and went up to the complainant, and making sure it was Bob, he ran after the cart, and caught hold of the tail-board. He then called out " Bob." The complainant stopped his home, sad both be and his witness jumped out. He called out " Annie "to the young woman who wax with him ; but be fore she could get up to him the complainant end Mr. Elliott began to pull and drag her about, and " pitched into" him. He had no other man with him, and he was certain be said, " Stop • minute, Bob." Robert Crew stated that he wits • greengrocer, car rying on business in North-place, Dover-road, and the pri soner was his partner. lie went out with the horse and cart at about 5 o'clock on the previous evening, in company with • young woman, and left the prisoner in charge of the shop. Ho fell in with his brother-in-law and got a drop too much, and she left him. He put his ca rt up in White chapel, and fetched it home that morning. Annie Gilbert, the young woman alluded to, entirely cor roborated the statement the prisoner made, and stated that she thought it was Bob, and that the prisoner called out, " Wait a minute, Bob," and did not mention a shilling. After this additional evidence, the case of course assumed a totally different appearance, and it became evident that the complainant, while under the impression that be was about to be "garotted," enamel that the word "Bob" was meant to imply • shilling, and had construed the pri soner's words "Stop • minute, Bob," as a demand for • shilling. Mr. Alderman Phillip said that under the altered aspect of the cam he should not, as he had previously intended, commit the prisoner to the Old Bailey for trial, but should discharge him f at the same time the alderman remarked to Master " Bob, that his drunken spree had got his partner into a mess, which might have turned out very serious, and he was very fortunate in getting off so well as he had done. He advimed him to take this as a caution, and to be more careful for the future. A respectably-dreseed young man, named William Pocock, was brought up on remand before Mr. Alderman Phillips and Mr. Alderman Lawrence, sitting in petty sessions, charged with embeszhng various sums of money to the amount of about 1001., belonging to his employers, Messrs. Phillips and Co., tea-merchants, King William-street. Mr. Poland prosecuted. The prisoner was in the service of the prosecutors as deputy-cashier, and all the monies received during the day were handed to him, and it was his duty to enter them in a book, and pay them into the bank on the following mei ring. On Tuesday, the 11th of November, the prisoner received altogether the sum of 3571. Os. 9d., which it would have been his duty to put into the cash-box, which was put into an iron safe, and to pay it into the bank the next morning. On the evening of the 11th of November he left the ware house, and did not return. The cash-box was consequently opened, and there as found to be a deficiency of 103/. 13s. 2d. His books were examined, and it was ascertained that the prisoner had for the last six months been in the habit of making use of cheques which were given to him to cover a previous deficiency, and the amounts deficient, making a total of 1031., were found to have been entered to make up a deficiency of that amount on the Frevious day. The prisoner said nothing in answer to the charge. Mr. Poland said the prisoner 'aad given information to the prosecutors which was certainly valuable, and in addition to that be had voluntarily surrendered himself. Taking those facts iota consideration, the prosecutors were anxious that the prisoner might be dealt leniently with in petty sessions. Mr. Alderman Phillips, however, after conferring for seine time with Mr. Alderman Lawrence, said that he and his brother magistrate were of opinion that it was too serious a ace for them to deal with, and nn which, if they did not send before a jury, they would f nd ail in their duty to the public. The prisoner was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL.

When the matter was before Mr. Commissioner Fon blanque, he directed an adjournment with a view to some arrangement being come to between the parties. Mr. Keene stated that no settlement had yet been arrived at ; but in the absence of the learned commissioner from indisposition the parties were desirous that the case should be adjourned generally, with a view to a day being afterwards fixed. Adjourned accordingly. Mr. Lewis (of Ely-place), representing two creditois, after wards asked that a specific day should be named. Ile should be glad to know when the commissioner would be present.

Mr. Sargood. ou the part of Mr. O'Rourke, objected to Mr. Lewis being heard for other creditors. Mr. R. Griffiths, fur a creditor, consented to the ad journment. The Registrar said he had received information that the commissioner expected to be at the court to-morrow, when the matter could be mentioned to him. IN BM JOSEPH FISHER AND WILLIAM FISHER. The bankrupts had kept the Anchor tavern and refresh ment rooms, Cheapside. This was the sitting for examina tion and discharge. The debts are 7,700/. ; assets estimated at 1,500/. Mr. Linklater supported. Mr. Sargood, for the assignees, asked that the examination should be adjourned. One of the bankrupts was examined, and stated that some furniture had been removed from the premises in July, be tween six and seven in the morning, on three successive mornings. It was taken to Stamford-street, where witness went to reside, and was there still. He had returned his furniture as of the value of 201. There was no plate in the boxes or hampers. lie had previously sent some dish covers and other things to his private house. He had bought them expressly for his own private use.

Jeeheta Oldham., a sturdy fellow of 27, was iodicted for maliciously attempting to kill and murder Martin Gibbs on the 17th November. Other counts varied the charge. Mr. H. T. Cole conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was a penal servitude convict confined in the establishment at Portees. From this place gangs of men are occasionally taken out, under the care of guards, to work at Portsmouth Dockyard. On the day mentioned the prisoner was one of a party of five convicts taken out by the prosecutor to work in a place called the Dirt-yard, I their occupation being to sort rubbish and load it into carts, and for this purpose they were supplied with iron shovels. The prisoner during the morning offended the rules by pick. ieg pieces of biscuit and carrot from the rubbish and eating them, and the prosecutor remonstrated with him, and had oc casion to speak to him a second time, whenhe threatened to report him. The prisoner walked up to Gibbs, and said, "Do yon intend to report me, muter ?" Gibbs told him to g 0 on with his work, and he said, "I will, sir." Gibbs then turned from him, but had scarcely done so when pri soner felled him to the ground with hie shovel, and then rushed upon him and inflicted another and more serious blow, calming the blood to spout forth from the wound. When in the act of striking the third blow the prisoner's arms were pinioned by a paring sawyer, who saw the affray. When thus in custody the prisoner said, " It's no good, there are too many shout for me to complete my busieess." He afterwards said he attacked Gibbs bemuse be had irritated him and threatened to report him. Gibbs had suffered a good deal from the effeota of the blows, and did still. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for 15 years.

The Right Hon. the LORD MATOR wadded, and there was a full attendance of members of the court. Alderman and Sheriff J. C. LAI - E►ltct made a report of the state of the City goals, and the number of prisoners con fined therein, by which it appeared that there are at present in Newgate 13.4, in Whitecross-street, 87, and in Holloway prison, which is unusually full, .M prisoners. It was also stated with regard to the last mentioned prison, that there were 8 of the prisoners in the infirmary, and 47out-patients. CITY BROKERS.' The following gentlemen were sworn in u broken of the City of London: Messrs. Frederick Clark and William Sbeldrick ; Messrs. Robert M. Nicholas, C. H. Cheeses, and Joseph De Castro were allowed brokers ; and Mr. W. H. Skelton was discharged from the office upon his own appli cation. STORING OF FILTIIOLEL'II. The General Purposes Committee made a report in re ference to the application of certain parties, in conformity with the statute, for permission to store, in one case, 200 I gallons, and in the other, 400 gallops of petroleum upon their premises, and they recommended that both applies- 1 tions should be rejected. Alderman Sir F. G. MOON having put a question with refe rence to the report, Alderman FINNIS said that the committee had come to the resolution that was before the court partly from their own knowledge of the dangerousand inflammable character of the material in question, and partly from a very careful report made by Mr. Catty, their own officer, as to the unfit ness of the premises respecting which the application was made for the reception of such a material ; and as they be lieved it would be dangerous to the public if the applications had been acceded to, they felt no hesitation, upon the pounds he had alluded to, in recommending the court to reject the applications. (Hear. hear.) Alderman SIDNEY observed that there was not the least doubt that this article was of the most dangerous descrip tion, and this was so much the opinion of practical persona that, in every case where petroleum was permitted to be stored, the insurance oftiNse required an extra premium for insuring the buildings on each side. This court was acting solely in the interest of the public in refusing applications like those now nuder consideration, andany parties who felt themselves aegrieved might go to the Court of Queen's Bench and review the decision that had been arrived at by the magistrates of the City of Loudon, if they thought proper to do so. (Hear.) Alderman W. LAWRENCE said, it appeared to him that a very grave responsibility devolved upon the magistrates in reference to this matter. (Hear, hear.) It was their duty to take care that no infla mmable and dangerous material Elie petroleum should be stored in places where an explosion might be productive of most serious mischief. The act of parliament gave a power to anyone to store petroleum to an extent not exceeding forty gallons in any place without a license, and in his opinion this was too . large a quantity. (Hear, bear.) The magistrates of the • City of London were, however, determined to do all in their power to protect the public, and the decision arrived at by the committee was calculated to effect this object. (Hear.) The report was then unanimously agreed to. Some matter of a private character was then discussed with closed doors, after which the court adjourned. CITY COURT OP SEWERS. The Commissioners of Sewers held their weekly meeting yesterday at GaiklhalL Mr. Da dcasza in the chair. THE OFFICE OF SOLICITOR TO TUE BEWER COMMISSION. Yesterday was the day appointed for the election of a gentleman to the office of solicitor to the commission. The candidates were five in number—Mr. Baylis, Mr. Gresham, Mr. Jenkiuson, Mr. Pontifax, and Mr. Roach. The applications were reed and strangers were ordered to withdraw, and after the door was re-opened the election took place. The number of candidates was first reduced to three, and from three to two, the two contendicg candidates being then Mr. Baylis and Mr. Jenkineon, and finally Mr. Baylis was elected by a majority of six over Mr. Jenkinson, the number of votes for Mr. Baylis being 23, and for Mr. Jenkinson Mr. BATLIS thanked the commissioners in an appropriate speech. and he MU invited by the chairman to take a seat at the table. TEE GAS CARBURETTERS. A petition was read, signed by several inhabitants, com plaining of the defective light given from the lamps in that neighbourhood, in consequence of the carburetters, and pray ing the court to take same steps in the matter. Some dismission ensued, in which some of the members advocated the use of the carburettero, and others condemned them as a complete failure, and the matter was ultimately referred to the general purposes committee. MR SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. Lantern, the medical officer of the City, presented his quarterly paper on the sanitary condition of the City of London, which stated that 642 births have been registered during the quarter, and 606 deaths. In the corresponding quarter of last year there were 839 births and 640 deaths ; and the average numbers for the summer quarters of the last ten years are 80fi births and 780 deaths. The falling off, therefore, in the proportion of births has been at the rate of nearly 20 per cent.. and of the deaths about 23 per cent. As usual the largest mortality has been among children of less than 5 years of age, and next to these the largest mortality has been at the ages of from 60 to 70. The infant mortality, although large, has not been excel. sive, for in the whole of England it is about 41 per cent. of the total deaths ; and the average number for the corres ponding period of the last seven years in the City is 44. It is only in the Eastern Union that the proportions have been largo ; there it has amounted t 045 per cent. of all the deaths. Tubercular diseases have declined from a general average of 156 in the quarter to 138, alvine flux from 66 to 33, and chimrie maladies from 187 to 164. laCatamatory atieiitions of the lungs, exclusive of phthiais, have, however, ad vanced from 56 in the quarter to 64, and zvrootic dimmer' from 114 to 132. The chief increase in the latter has been from continued fever and measles the former has advanced from an average of 28 deaths in the quarter to 38, and the latter from 15 to 42. The exact causes of this are nut apparent. Fever of a low typhoid character has been very generally prevalent throughout the country, and the City had not been exempt from it. The markets and slaughter-bonsea have been duly inspected, and the officers have seized 30,8521 be., and 1,357 bead of game and poultry, as unfit far human food. 19,338 lbs. of the meat were diseased, 7,935 lbs. were putrid, end 3.586 lbs. were from animals that had died from accident or disease. It consisted of 100 sheep, 33 pigs, 5 calves, 207 quarters of beef, and 162 joints of meet. Lastly Amy be mentioned that 20,:r34 lbs. of the meat were seized in Newgste and Tyler's Markets. 6,250 Ice. at Leadenball, and 3,515 lbs. of it at Aldgate. All of it was at once sprinkled with carbolic acid—the creosote of coal tar—and then sent to the boilers. During the quarter, three persons have been brought to justice, and convicted ' for having sent diseased meat to the City markets. They are William Seminal Speller, of Woodford, in Faux, who ' was mantel:mei to six muntll3' imprisonment; William Neville, of Kingston, in Surrey. who was sentenced to three months imprisonment and penalty • and William I Crust, of Ashfurd, iu Kent, who was fined 10i. and coda THE LATE MURDER ix BIRMINORASL—Henry Carter, egad 19, a brasecaster, was brought before hir.

Mr. Arnold asked the witness Wright whether he could on a future ore:mien produce his two friends. Witness said he had no doubt they would come forward. Mr. Arnold said ke should adjourn the case until Friday to enakie then) to do so. He much wished to hear their testimony, as it would be more satisfactory both to him self and the public, ter if the account given by Mrs. Kendal sad her witnesses was coned, nothing could be more gross than the conduct of the constables.

Mr. Combs asked if the pistol was loaded ? Witness replied that it was, right up to the muzzle. The female said that if it was loaded there was no cap OD it. The constable replied that when he took it from her the imp was on, but for safety be took it off directly. Mr. Comte asked the female why she csxried such • weapon? She replied that it belonged to her father, who left it at bar house on Sunday night, and on Monday night she took it upfor the purism* of carrying it to him, when unfortunately she got too much to drink. Mr. Combo asked her why her father brought such a weapon to her house ? She replied that he lived • long way off, and she supposed he was afraid of the garotters. (Laughter.) She, however, promised not to get drunk again. Mr. Combo discharged the prisoners with a caution, and directed the pistol to be detained by the police until the • rightful owner claimed it. MURDER OF A NAVAL OFFICER AND FOUR• THEN SEAMEN. A private letter furnishes some particulars of a tearful tragedy recently enacted on the Arabian coast, not far (menthe entrance to the Bed Sea. It appears that some time in the month of September, whilst she was in the Mozambique Chiming, four brats, for the purpose of watching some slavers, were detached from the Penguin, Lieut. G. G. M'Hardy, tender to the Narcissus, the Sag-ship of Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, at the Cape of Good Hope. It was the intention for the vessel to pick them up at a place called Fort Durnford, about sixty miles south of the line. On the vessel arriving there, however, nothing could be heard of the beats. As the wind was blowing steadily and strongly towards the north it was determined to cross the line in search of them, and when the Penguin was about 30 miles north of the line, at • place called Brava, news of the missing boats was alt- Mined. The boat, had been seen there, but ea they could not get in by) reason of the heavy surf, they bad gone on before the wind towards the north. The natives did not know there was any landing __place in that direction within six hundred miles. When the boats left the ship they only bad eleven days' provisions, and therefore so soon as the Penguin got news of them she followed in the track with all possible speed, and arrived at • place called Bonder Feluk on the 25th of October. At this place the Penguin learnt the sad news that the whole of the crews of two of the boats, fifteen men in all, had been cruelly murdered by the natives. So far as could be learnt. the boats' crews, finding themselves short of food and water on the Arabian Sea, and unable to return, landed with the intention of replenishing, and then making the best of their way to Aden, on the Red Sea. They had gone in their boats from the time they left the Penguin in the Mocambique Channel, over 1,200 miles. No doubt their inten tion was, had they reached Aden, to have come back to the Mozambique Channel on the change of the wind. They landed at the Arab villap, named Bonder Felnk, to obtain water and provisions. The natives did not at first appear hostile, but, on the contrary. invited them to come on shore. Sub-Lieutenant Fontaine, who was in charge of the party, however, did not deem it prudent to risk all at once, although probably nearly famished with thirst. He therefore went in the small boat, with • crew of seven in each. The cutter was lyieg on the beach. As soon as the men touched the shore they were fallen upon and murdered by the natives. What became of the other two boats is not mentioned The following are the names of the killed : Sub-Lieutenant Fountain.; William Mitchell (quartermaster), John Carpenter (gunner's mate), John Kemp (A. 8.), Henry State (A. 8.), Charles Kean, James Watson, John child,, Martin Jolley, Richard 1., Henry Williams, Arthur Matthews, John Pratt, sad two marines named George Baton awl Charles Foley. Mrs. Mitchell, the wife of the quartermaster, we undsniaad, rir• sides at Torpoint. John Kemp is the son of a watermsa of Mutton Cove, ihmonport. On the arrival of the People, and the foregoing particulars having been ascertained, the officer in charge communicated with the native chieftain, and demanded that the murderers should be given up, or in de fault prepare for the destruction by fire and sword of all the vessels houses, and people of the place. After some delay twenty of the murderers were given up to the com mander of the Penguin, who was told that the others bad escaped, or they also would have been sent. It was soon determined to hang these. as an example to deter their countrymen from indulging in similar conduct. At the date of the latest advice', about the third week in October, the murderers were awaiting their execution, which having been finished, the Penguin would leave that part of the coast. John Carpenter bad only recently come into the Penguin from the Narcissus, and on this particular occasion took the place of one who was on the sick list when the expedition started. The Penguin bad recovered some of the carbines of the murdered men, but had not discovered any of the bodies. THE RIBCHESTER MURDER Five men, named Duncan M'Phail, Daniel Carr, William Woods, Georp Woods, and Benjamin Hartlq. who stood remanded on the charge of murdering an old woman named Ann Walne, at Rib&ester, on the 11th ult., were again brought up on Monday, at the Blackburn police court. The court was crowded, and the greatest excite ment prevailed on account of the prisoner Hartley's making a hill confession. The magistrates committed Hartley to the next Lancaster mires for trial. The prisoner William Woods, who had been apprehended as an accessory, was then placed in the dock ; but there ap peared to be no evidence whatever &pima him, and the magistrates discharged him " without the lent taint upon his character."' - MARKETS.

During the last five or six days there has been an inquiry for most kinds of twist suitable for India, and a demand for that market has led to a fair business to-day. A good business has also been done in home trade yarns at the advance. The maket gene rally is reported better, and a strong opinion prevails that the lowest rates have been touched for the present, and that we are on the turn, with a prospect of a more legitimate and dead fide business than the trade has experienced for some time. One cause of more activity and firmness is no doubt to be found in the activity of the Liverpool cotton market, which has brought those who were holding orders for yarn over in expectation of still lower prices rather freely into this market. We have no movement in the cloth market at all, the advice, from India being unfavourable. We have had telegrams from Bombay to the 27th Nov. (the quickest ever received), and from Calcutta to the ?ith. The Calcutta telegrams quote the market inanimate, with a decline on all demerits tiona of cloth. Shirtiogs were '2 to 3 minas lower. At Bombay the market was not so generally depressed. hut some descriptions of ahirtiogs were one anus (I}d.) per piece lower.

December is usually a dull mcnth as regards the home trade in cloths, the large country houses as well as drapers never adding to stock till after the Christmas stock-taking, but there are symptoms of a considerable improvement when New Year's Day is turned in the exhausted supplies of such houses.
