4 'parting intditzencti ST. ALBAN'S STEEPLECHASES. —SATunDAY. Overcoming the fickleness of the weather, Mr. George French was enabled to bring his four times postponed St. Alban's fleeting off on Saturday. Although there was a considerable fog during the afternoon there was no greater hindrance to the soccer of the gathering, which passed off as well as could be expected at this late period of the racing season. There was a very large attendance, which no doubt would have been considerably augmented had the sky b een as c l ear as was anticipated from the break in the weather a few days before. The takers of the " gate money," la , were as fully employed as even the most sanguine expectations of the enterprising promoters of this late gathering could have reasonably expected. The sport on the whole gave great satisfaction, both from the strength of the fields and the closeness of the finishes, the five events of the day producing as much excitement and interest as are evinced in many more auspicious undertakings. The first event fell to that much improved but lately uncertain steeplechaser, Helice, who seemed to have the race in hand all the way, and won easily from The Guide. The Selling Handicap was deemed a good thing foe Alice Mary, on whom Knott appeared very confident, but she fell at the fi rst fence ; and Love ina-Mist. who struck everybody in her preliminarycanter as a flue mover on the fiat as well as a clever fencer, had not the slightest difficulty in disposing of the rest of the field, and, indeed, seemed pulling double on passing the post. The grand item of the day, the St. Alban's Open Steeplechase, though deprived of several of its most prominent competitors by the scratch ing of Chimney Sweep, Tally-ho, and Northern Light, was Mill an interesting affair. Lawrence, from his late per formances. opened first favourite, but the superior claims of Hornet soon bad their sway, and be had the call of the former, finishing first favourite at 5 to 4. Lawrence, taking advantage of the light weight, after going some distance took up the running, and on passing the second time round seemed to have the race in hand, leading up the hill opposite several lengths in advance of Hornet ; but the latter catching him, stride by stride passed him after clear ing the last jump, and won by a length. The " talent" in the Maiden Steeplechase went for llfield, as if the race were all over, hut Panther was bro ugh t up cleverly and won a good race from Penelope, Byfield being third. The Local OED WWI woo by the favourite, Horace Walpole. Details of the day's sport are appended. Trig l HITIINGSTALL tuts, Handicap of 40 BOIL Two miles. Mr. Lirohney's Hellos (J.

When fairly in the turnip field, Ganymede rushed to the front, and led into the ploughed land attended by Sportsman, the most pro eminent of the others being Ace of Trumps, The Garde, I , and Helice, Merry Horn still being in the rear. The last obstacle but one was cleared by The Guide, Helice, and Sportsman almost abreast of each other. Before reaching the last fence, however, Sporteman was in difficulties, and the issue was confined to Relic* and The Guide, the former of whom had • slight advantage at the fence, and won easily 11 by a length. Sportsman was a bad third, Ace of Trumps ij pulled up fourth, Merry Horn fifth, Ganymede sixth, II Gorsehawk seventh, and Bedlamite last. THE SELLING HANDICAP PLATE of 30 @OM ; winner to 8 be sold for 40 soya. Two miles. Mr. Jamie's Love-In.a.litet r armee 1 Mr. Coes Penelope (Mr. F. G.

Bever li - ley made the running followed by Alice Mary to the drop fence, two before the stand, when she fell, anddispo s in g of Knott went on riderless. Before clearing the next tones Beverley resigned the lead to Sir Stephen, who led oast the Mani, having Beverley and Love-in-a-Mist in close attendance, Penelope bringing up the rear. Going up the f l ploughed land Penelope ran up to Love-in-a-Mist, and the pair went on in pursuit of Sir Stephen, whom they caught up half a mile from home. the trio clearing the drop fence almost abreast of each other. Sir Stephen retired before clearing the next fens, and Love-In-a-Mist, taking up the running after landing the jump, won easily by a length. Sir Stephen was a bad third, and Beverley was last. The winner was sold to Mr. J. Percival for 50 guineas. THE ST. ALBAN'S 0111 H STEEPLECHASE of 15 soya. each, 10 ft, and 3 only if declared, with 100 added winners extra. About three miles and a half. (42 subs, 17 of whom pay 3 sovs. each.) Mr. Lynton's Hornet (Griffiths' 1 Sir W. Call's Lawrence (Mr. A. Yates, 2 Arieocott and mahopton also ran. Betting: 5 to 4 apt Hornet 2 to 1 apt Lawrence, and (1 to 1 agst Arlescott. The latter cut out the work with the favourite at his quarters,Lawrenoe and Bishopton following at short intervals. In this order they passed the stand and ran until descending the hill in the turnip-field, when Hornet got level with Arlescott, and on reach in g the plough, Lawrence, on the outside, joined the pair, the three running head and bead to the next fence, immediately atter clearing which Bishopton, improving the pace, took up the running, Ariesoott following Mr. Hobson's horse, the other two being slightly in the rear, in *km company. Descending the hill towards the drop jump, Lawrence quitted Hornet, and paring Arlescott and Bishopton, assumed the command, Hornet in a few strides also head ing the pair, and at the jump Arlescott dropped into the rear. Lawrence showed the way postilthe stand the second time, Hornet being fully four lengths in advance of Bishop ton, Arlescott being some distance in the rear. The latter, however, made up a lot of his lost ground in the turnip field, and headed Diabopton before reaching the fence into the ploughed land. He ran wide however at the next obstacle, and Mr. Ellison finding further penis mance useless pulled up • at the time Lawrence had a lead of fully twenty lengths of Hornet, Bird:lepton being more than twice that distance in rear of the latter. Making the descent of the hill in the field succeeding the plough the favourite rapidly decreased the distance between Law rence and himself, so that at the drop fence they were almost on level terms, and cleared the last obstacle almost abreast of each other. They were both in difficulties within the straight, but Hornet holding out the longest won after a good race by a length. Bishopton, who was pulled ep half-a-mile from home, did not pass the . post.

Penelope made running till within a hundred yards of home, when she was chal lenged by Panther, who won &wily by a length ; Bytield held second place until reaching the ploughed land, where be gave way to Panther, and 6niahed a bad third.

Killarney was also first over the last fence, bat immediately afterwards he was In difficulties, and the issue was left to the favourite and Clarina, the latter of whom had the advantage till within fifty yards of the chair, when Homce Walpole got in front, and won by a length, which distance separated the second and third, Killarney being in the latter position. The other two did not pass the poet. £Libal anti fiiiiitarp. CHATHAM, Dr.c. 29. In consequence of the fears entertained by a Mrge number of the inhabitants of Chatham and Rochester as to the safety of the government powder magazines at trpnor Castle. and the possibility of an attack being made ea them by Fenian emissaries, an influeutial deputation ei the inhabitants has waited upon Major-General F. Mur ray, commanding the district, requesting that the den prone prJaiinity of the magazines to Chatham and Rochester may be brought under the notice of the govern ment, with the view to the necessary stew being taken to have the stores of powder removed to a less dangerous locality, rind urging that in the meantime every pretension should be taken to render the magazines secure from attack. (4inerel Mussy assured the members of the de putation that the matter had received the earnest con sideration of the government, and that every precaution had been adopted for the security of the teeth, and its °entente. A letter bee since been received from General Sir E. Lugard, G.C.8., the Under-Secretary of State for War, announcing that t►e question of the removal of the magazines from Upnor Castle is under the special consi deration of the authorities at the War-office. . _ During yesterday and the previous day upwards of 1,000 of the officials and workmen belonging to this dock yszd were sworn in as special constables before Captain W. H. Stewart, superintendent, assisted by one of the magistrates for the county. It is intended to swear in the whole of the workmen, to the number of upwards of 3,000, to be employed in the protection of the prominent sew hilohmento at this port and prrieen. y THE WORM , MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1857.

Ford, of the Gray's-inn-road, both of them superintendents of =Liconstables, addressed those assembled, and haring sd them for their promptness in obeying a call given at so short a notice called for three cheers for the Queen, which haring bees heartily responded to the meeting sepa rated. WEYMOUTH. This town was thrown into a state of excite ment about six o'clock on Saturday evening, in conse quence of a report which spread with the greatest rapidity that an attack had been made on the convict prison, and that the 20 Fenian prisoners, together with the other con victs, were at large. About six o'clock the signal guns for assistance were discharged, and • messenger shortly afterwards arrived from Portland stating that an attack was expected on the prison. Almost imme diately the whole of the soldiers belonging to the 13th Regiment and • portion of the engineers were put under arms, and marched off at a rapid pace to Portland. The streets were searched for soldier, who were hurried to the barracks, and all the available force was despatched to Poi liand, only sufficient men being left at Weymouth to guard the forts and barracks. The cause o: this alarm is believed to be that the prison antho i:ties heard some firing at sea, and this, coupled with other suspicious circumstances, induced them to send for the assistthoe of the military at Weymouth. That some fear was manifested is evident, from the fact that the con victs were marched back from their work to their cells an hour earlier than usual, and other precautions which it is unnecessary to particularise were taken. Shot tly after the arrival of the military at Portland a message was de spatched from that prison that all was quiet, and that the alarm was groundless. After waiting there a short time they were marched back to Weymouth. It is rid that several suspicious characters have been seen in Port- land of late, and that on Friday nikelit lights were seen in the low ground near the convict prison. Saturday night was extremely foggy, and served to favour any scheme for the liberation of the Fenian prisoners, should such have been attempted. We reported on Saturday that a man had been apprehended at Southampton for endeavouring tow:made some soldiers stationed at the Marehwood Government Powder Magazines to take the Fenian oath. The Heats Advertiser of Saturday, in speaking of this case, says : " By • reference to the Southampton police proc eeding, of yesterday the reader will perceive that • young man named Canavan, a resident engineer in Southampton, was charged with tendering the Fenian oath to Timothy Ahern and John Shuckburgh, privates in the 60th Rifles, sta tioned at Marchwood Magazines. The affair appears, on the face of it, to have arisen out of a drunken carousel. and that the prisoner, who wee remanded, had no more serious object than to annoy the soldiers, one of whom he afterwards knocked down. It appears Canavan is • Sootclunan, and was formerly in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Company as fourth engineer, but was sent home about four or five months ago in order to recruit his health, he then being not fit for Indian service. His character and ability were put down as being good. It seems that he had been drink ing hard lately. The Cowes correspondent of the Hamp shire Advertiser reports the arrest of a man on board one of the gnardships lying off the island, for making nes of to the effect that he would not take sip arms the Fenian, as he considered theirs wee a just cause. No papers were found in hie bag, but after he had been in irons for 24 hours he stated, on being questioned, " that he had not, nor did he intend to alter his mind." He will, of course, be tried by a court.martial, end will then, no doubt, repent his folly. LIVIMPOOL. The Home Secretary last week sent to the Mayor of Liverpool a recommendation to enrol a number of special constables during the present winter in order to assist the authorities in .-pwanving the pesos of the town. The mayor at ones laid Mr. Hardy's letter before the watch committee, the magistrates, and Major Greig, C. 8., the bead constable, and, after a consultation, it wee sgeerd that there was no necessity just now for taking the step proposed by the Home.office authorities, which would only exaggerate public excitement, and cause much minims wary personal inoonvenienoe to the inhabitants. In Liver pool, thanks to the unseasonable weather and the large arrivals of shipping, the poorest classes have lately been actively employed, and the distre ss , which threatened to he so serious about a month ago, is now happily mitigated very considerably. As to the means of preserving order in the town, the police are quite satisfied just now ; the Fenian* and their haunts are so constantly and closely watched that many of the " Brotherhood" have recently left the town, and Major Greig, who last week made a personal visit to all ssusnsppeecoted districts and localities, is quite satiated that Fenianiam is in a most depressed state in Liverpool. In spite of this, no precautions are relaxed, and, aided most willingly and efficiently by the crown, corporate, and dock employes, allpublio buildinfs, docks, semiworks, tux, are carefully watched day and night, and the dangers of surprise reduced to a minimum. WOLVEITON. We learn from the Bucks Herald that the pri soners, James Connelly and Oladwin Mahan, charged with being concerned in a Feuisnloonspiracest Wolverton, were brought up on Saturday for further examination. The magistrates were unanimously of opinion that the evidence was not sufficient justify their committing the prisoners for trial, and they were therefore discharged. On Saturday morning the man Robert Moseley, who bad been apprehended the previous day on suspicion of being a Fenian, was brought up before the magistrates at the Town-hall. charged with being drunk, and whilst so drunk guilty of riotous behaviour. The defendant, who had the appearance of a respectable mechanic, pleaded guilty. He was fined H. and discharged. The watch at the gasworks is still maintained, and between nine and ten o'clock on Friday night a powder flask, filled with powder, was picked up near the entrance oils. The men who were seen to plate it there ran away on being discovered. Rumours of the most alarming character have (asps the Northers Dail?, Arptvse) been afloat in Newcastle during the last few days as to the probable doings of the Fenian. On Friday the polka received information that an attempt was likely to be made to blow up the gasworks. A number of the force, were, therefore, told off to protect the works in Tyneside-terrace, and the gasometer in the Forth-banks. They remained on duty all night, and kept a strict watch on all persons seen in the neighbourhood. But no attempt to carry out the threatened outrage had been made up to the hour of our going to press. St. Nicho las's Church, and other buildings, have also been menaced by the brotherhood. The armouries of the volunteers are being closely guarded. About half a score of the rifle volunteers are on duty each night at their armoury in Nelaon..treet, holding themselves in constant nadiness foe the emergency. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. sh. I p d.

SI. 12NIAN ALARMS IN LONDON AND TSB PROVINCES. Great excitement prevails at Woolwich and in the locality in connection with the receipt of official in formation of an intended Fenian attack on the Tower of London and the Royal Arsenal at Woolwicli. Late on Friday night (writes • correspondent) telegrams began to arrive at Woolwich announcing that the Fenian were in possession of a plan, and detailed information of the poe session and contents of the different stores and buil ding s in the Royal Arsenal, and that an attack would be made on that establishment that night from the river, com mencing at • large store containing a number of 9-poun der Armstrong guns, and that a determined attempt would be made on another building known as the Round house, oontaining about 1,000 stand of arms be longing to the Arsenal vo lunters. Information was also received that two Fenian vessels would arrive and take up a position in the Thames off the Arsenal for the purpose of conveying off any guns or arms that might be seized. Intelligence of the intended Fenian attack was conveyed in independent telegrams, received respectively in rapid succession from the Commissioners of Police, the Admiralty, and the War Department. In ad dition to these, an order arrived from the Horse Guards to General Wards, C. 8., commandant of the garrison, to take immediate steps for the effective protection of the government establishments. The latter telegram was re ceived at half-past ten o'clock at night, and by eleven o'clock two companies of Royal Marines—each man armed with fifty rounds of ball cartridge—had marched down to the Arsenal and taken up Ppositions in different parts of the establishment. The Marines (who were called from their beds) consisted of 200 rank and file of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, in command of the following officers M'Arthur • Captains Connolly, Despard, Collins, and °drama ; Lie u tenants Birch, Le Breton, der vois, end Heathoote. Dr. Fisher was also in attendance in ease of any being wounded. General Wards and a staff of officers spent two or three hours in the Arsenal during the night, inspecting the stores and best positions for the stationing of troops, giving the requisite orders in the event of the attack being made, and arranging for a series of rocket signals by which reinforcements of armed bat teries and artillery could be summoned at a moment's notice from the Artillery Barracks. On the western portion of the Royal Artillery Barracks is a field of guns, used on review occasions, and with which the gunners are exermsed. These guns, when not in use, are usually left in open sheds, in care of • few sentries, but being con sidered liable to seizure or likely to be required in defence of the Arsenal, have been removed, by order of the commandant, to enclosed and safer ground, a consider - I able number of them having been sent down to the' Royal Arsenal, where their ammunition boxes have been filled with powder and shot. The fact of troops marching through the town into the 'I Arsenal at 11 o'clock at night quickly met the place in com motion, and the Arsenal gates were soon besieged with 200 or 300 special constables, who manifested consider able anxiety to do duty on the occasion. The number of people increased until tt was found n to entirely close the Arsenal rake, and the " thedals" nding there was no chance of their being placed on duty gave throe cheers for she Queen, three groans for the Fenian, and returned to their homes. The troops had not been many minutes in the Arsenal before two suspicdotielo . o42 vessels were noticed hovering WILT, and on being eh were found to have • rough and apparently American-Irish , crews. In reply to interrogations they stated they were proceeding up the river in ballast to the docks. On being asked to produce their papers they said they bad none. On being asked how they came into the Thames with out papers they said they were stopped at Graves end, but that on explaining that they were going toLon don for cargoes they were ultimately allowed to pass up the I river. They stated their intention of remaining off the Arsenal till daybreak ; but after the lapse of a few hours, in which it was evident that any Fenian attempt on the Arsenal that night had been abandoned they ultimately moved o ff , followed by i , the water police nhale, under in structions not to lose sight of them, and they are still under police surveillance. Water police, armed with loaded six barrelled Colt's revolvers, cruised about in six boats in front of the Arsenal and round the river powder magazine all night. The Marine Light Infantry were stationed about the stores expected to be attacked, and on the wharf on parade from 11 at night until half-pest seven o'clock next morning, when they returned to barracks. On Sa turday night the Royal Marines were relieved . by the Mili tary Staff Corp., in command of Captain Mem and Lieu tenant Blexlsind. They did duty in detachments in the Arsenal, taking peecaetions to guard all the positions as sailable from the river. The government water police were augmented by • force from the Thames police, who did duty on the river &Uptight armed with revolvers. Detachments of Royal Artillery from the riding house establishment, and the Depot Brigade, in command of Major Saunders and Major Sturling, were on duty at the Artillery Barracks all night, the men being accoutred and the horses burnoosed reedy for duty at • moment's notice bi . rocke a l c ipial. Last night the Royal Arsenal was similar with troops, though less in number. A series b lue signal lights were in operation for communicating with the Ardliery, Marine, and other barracks in the town, the arrangements being such that armed troops could be in the Arsenal ten minutes after the time of signaL Additional precautions were also taken each night for the effective protection of the Tower. This morning the first squad of 3,000 Arsenal artisans will be sworn in as special constables, On Saturday 1,600 of the Woolwich dockyard employes were enrolled. In addition to these about 400 tradesmen, do., of the locality have been sworn in, reeking • total number of 5,000, being about one half of the adult male population of the district. At a meeting of the special constables, held in the Woolwich Town-hall on Saturday, to elect superintendents and officers, the utmost enthusiasm pre vailed, a vociferous round of cheers being given for " The Queen, the Government, and Good Order." Information has been received of an intended Fenian attack on some powder mills at Dartford. It is in con templation to empty the smaller powder magazine between Erith and Woolwich, to obviate the necessity of keeping night and day relays of armed guards to protect them. Some additional information has been elicited of the two men who were seen by • soldier on guard crawling under the arches of the government powder magazine in Plum stead marshes a few nights ago. The police search was continued on that occasion till daylight, but without suc cess ; but it has since transpired that the two men suc ceeded in getting to the river side, where they got into • boat in waiting for them, end crossedi the river to the &sex coast. On the soldier being asked if it did not occur to him to fire upon the two men, he replied that it did, but that on second thought he asked himself, " Who is to give the order to fire?" and he resisted the impulse to do so. In consequence of the information received by the official' in charge of the female convict prison at Brix ton, a large number of police constables are stationed in the grounds and approaches of the prison to keep watch. At present nothing of a suspicious nature has occurred, but from the communication received this precaution was deemed advisable. The men on guard are relieved at in terval., and such is the reliance placed by the officials that some Fenian attempt was contemplated, that the police will not it is said, be withdrawn at present. On Saturday, notwithstanding it is estimated that considerably over 40,000 special constables have already been sworn in throughout the metropolis, including the City of London, the county and police magistrates were still employed in swearing in constables in the reaper. tive districts. The swearing in in the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, continued throughout the day, and at four o'clock the number sworn in had reached 901. Fifty clerks of the firm of Messrs. Gregory and Co., of Bedford-row, at tended in • body, and several gentlemen employed at So- mereet-house also attended. Every person on being sworn in received at the hands of the sitting magistrate, Mr. Henry White, his certificate of appointment, staff, armlet, and full printed instructions. The whole force of this division is now properly organised, and at any time 600 men could be assembled at an hours notice. A. roster is constantly posted insuring the attendance of one of the officers and some of the specials every hour day and night. An order has been issued from bead-quarters that the specials shall be put under a course of preliminary drill, such as is adopted in the earlier stages of volunteering. On Friday circulars were issued from Colonel Ewart, who is appointed by the government as chief of the organisation, to superin tendents of divisions, requesting that all special constables who were not already acquainted with those manoeuvres by reason of being or having been volunteers, should he taught to go through their facings, to " form fours deep," right, left, and about, and to form and march in quarter distance column. In Marylebone so soon as this communication was received it was at once acted upon, and several of the divisions assembled at their points of rendezvous and com menced their drills under volunteer staff-sergeants, who had been engaged for the purpose. The D division were summoned to meet in the school-rooms, Stafford-street, at seven o'clock, for the purposes of drill, and the muster of the specials WY so large that it was found impossible to manage them in the space at disposal at one time. All I present who were volunteers, or who had gone through I the service, were asked to step out, and they of themselves formed a strong company, and were requested to take positions to aid in dnlling the others. These latter were divided into two companies, one drilling from seven to • quarter put eight, and the second company from a quarter-past eight till about halt-put nine. As a pre liminary the volunteer company fell in, and performed , the movements as prescribed, and in accordant* with the word of command of the instructor, thus enabling the rest of the specials when their turn came to pick up the drill with unusual rapidity. In addition to performing the evolutions from the position of standing at attention, the companies were also taught to go through them whilst on the move. It is to be understood that in these drills all who assume the position of superintendents will have to act as captains or commanders of companies, whilst the deputy-superintendents will be required to sesame the lame position as that of covering sergeants in the army and Wader volunteer Asa. service, sad will mud% on the right et sec- dew iIARKE2'6.

COTTON GOODS. MANCHISTEE, Dec. 28. The history of this week's market is briefly told in the words continued inactivity end depression. Buyers have bought sparingly of yarns and they have bought sparingly of cloth, as a rule, and prices have continued to give way. But the true posi tion of the market is best gathered from the quotation of prices. 71b. India shirting, ate 7s. 3d. to 7s. 9d. per piece, and 8 ilb ditto ere Bs. 74d. to 9s. 3d. per piece ; 29-inch T cloths of 41b. weight are 3s. Bd. to 38.9,i.; and 33-inch, 13 by 15, of ribs. weight are 6s. 31. to 6e. 74d. per piece. In reality, cloth has come down to an average of something like Is. per lb. a price, which prevailed before the war in America and the consequent famine in cotton. With all the reports of quietness end inactivity this is a great fact, and with moderate steadiness in the face of a plentiful respect of cotton there is great hope in such a fact of a hadthy and prosperous tradeto come. There is no doubt that yesterday and to-day merchants have been willingtto place extensive contracts in the hands of manufacturers at the lowest prices, and that a considerable business has resulted. Some rather heavy accumulations of stock have also been disposed of. If there is any re liance in political economy as understood by cur mercan tile clam in the return of vices to something like a normal bees there should be a considerable expansion of trade in all the various markets of the world to which cotton goods are shipped. There will be some drawbacks of course, and one is in the great distrust occasioned by enormous losses on stocks held by merchants everywhere of goods bought at high prices months ago, which have undergone r u i nous depreciation by the fall a values to their old level. In the home trade we have also to contend with high prices in food, which also cripple demand, and with • less flourishing state of many of the staple industries of the country. WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Dec. 28.—The week which is expiring has been one of more than usual dulness, at the close of a very dull and inanimate year, is the worsted trade. The operations effected in wool were confined to some small transactions in the finer de:V e t tines of wool, which are in very meagre supply, and wwiwanded steady price*. Inferior sorts have been quite neglected, and prime have been scarcely tested. The ex port merchants have done some small business in worsted yarns, but little or nothing les bees done ea home so- count. Prime et* week and irregular, sad the business done has bees at very low • The business done in pieces bes been very and considerably Wow the areage. Neither egatimentel. Areerilea, nor Wee merchants have shown any disposition to do baldness, and manufacturers are glad of the opportunity which a hiday affords of still further curtailing production. Prior m. 3 still in favour of the buyer. HARDWARE.—Bnunnonam, Die. '2B.—The principal manufactories of this town have been closed since Clinst maseve ; repairs of machinery are going on, and as a rule operations will not be resumed until the middle of next week ; even then comparatively little will be done, so there are very few orders on the books, and in the present prospects of trade it wiU be quite the exception where manufacturers are disposed to go on making up goods for stock. Throughout the quarter just closed the stagnation which heii prevailed in trade here has been very great. CORN.--Canemoon, Dec. 28.—Wheat in short supply and la. to 2a. dearer.

Buyers were scares, and but very little business was transacted. LOA week's prisms were maintained. ROCUJIBTE3, Dno. 28.—Consequent on the Christmas holidays our market was only thinly attended, while wheat and the other descriptions of grain were in rather moderate supply. The trade, generally, has ruled firmer, while the tone of the market is slightly in favour of holders. The terms for best white wheat are 70s. to 745., and a few extra fine samples 745. to 76.. per qr. ; secondary runs of white, 67a to 7th., and damp and infe rior, 655. to b7s per qr. ; best red wheat, 665. to 70a. ; secondary lots, 645. to 665., end damp and inferior parcels, 62a. to 645. per qr.

Barley not so plentiful, and the turn dearer. No change in other articles. WATURFORD, Dec. 28.—One cargo of wheat reported from abroad. Deliveries of home grain by all ways re stricted. A very fair business has been done, considerably more than usual during this the holiday week of the year. Millers and dealers for some time past purchased only sufficient to supply immediate wants, and are doing so still, consequently they are obliged to come frequently on the market. For all descriptions of foreign produce the demand is steadily increasing. Wheat—Foreign better In quired for, and sales made some at full prices and others at a trifling reduction. Irish has been rather neglected, and closes Is. per barrel cheaper. Barley dull and easier. Oats— Shipping is scarce, end this, coupled with an absence of demand from France, restricted business, and caused rates to rule slightly lower.

A RIFIRMAN'S LEAP mon AN EXPRESS Tarns. —One morning last week a soldier Of the Rifle Brigade, recently returned from India, and on his way from Fal mouth to London by the night express on the Great Western Railway, jumped from the train as it wee passing the Slough station.

About 120 non-commissioned officers and men received the above amounts, and in the afternoon of the same day 80 of the recipients went on furlough. —United Service Garene. ANOTHER PUBLIC PrIZZTINO PREVENTED.—Con siderable uneasiness has existed during the past week amongst the tradesmen and other inhabitants of Clerken well, in consequence of the announced intention of Mr. Finlen, at a meeting of one of the broacher of the Reform League on Monday evening Jut, that he would, at all hazards, hold • public meeting on Clerkenwell-green, yes terday morning, for the double purpose of condemning the conduct of the Fenians in connexion with the late explo sion, and for taking leave of the public previous to his departure for America on Wednesday next. The Chief Commissioner of Police was communicated with at once, and the persona so communicating were informed that • sufficient force of the police would be in attendance at the Green to prevent any meeting being held, and at once to arrest any persons attempting to address the people. Accordingly, the same precautions were taken as ware found so effective yesterday week. At nine o'clock in the morning a large body of the A reserve were marched down to the Green, some of whom were placed inside the Sessions-honse, while the remainder trolled the Green and adjacent streets in couples, • few yards apsit, the whole body being under the control of ' Mr. Superintendent Gernon. The special constables of the district were also ordered to hold themselves ready to act, should their services be re quired. About 11 o'clock, when the thick fog of the earlier portion of the morning bad cleared away, a °mai. derable number of persons assembled on the Green, and at the corners of the streets leading thereto, looking anxiously for Mr. Pinion's appearance. The police patrols, however, kept the crowd continually moving, and the orders of the police were obeyed. About twelve o'clock, and from that time till a few minutes to one, the crowd had considerably increased, but Mr. Finlen did not put in en appearance, acting, probably, on the advice of prudent friends, Ned finding discretion to be the better part of valour. Mr. G. Mantle, of the Council of the Reform League, was present on the Green, having come for the express purpose of using his influence with Mr. Finlen to dissuade him from holding the meeting, had he come with that intention. At one o'clock. the crowd, finding that Mr. Finlen had not come, and that, therefore, no meeting would take place, gradually dispersed, and before two o'clock the Green pre sented its ordinary appearance, with the exception of the presence of the pollee patrols, who remained on duty during the day, to prevent any attempt that might be made to hold a meeting. It nppeare that, in addition to the police warning the landlord of the Nag's Head, Leather-lane, against allowing the Holborn Branch of the Reform League to meet at his house, the weekly meeting of the outermongers to discuss their grievances has also been interdicted. REASONS FOR PREFIREINO Da. DR JONORII Loorr-Blows COD Liver Off.—On the important question of the right kind of end liver oil to be administered. Dr. Edward Smith, F LB., many years one of the physicians to the Framp ton licsoltal for Consumption, and DOW medical officer to the Poor-law Snarl.% his well-known treatise on "Consumption; gives the following instructive information :—" The quality of the oil should be regarded. We have bean informed by a manufac turer of cod liver oil, that probably not one•enth of the obi which is said is altogether derived from the liver of the end fish. Bence we think It a greet adventure that there te one kind of end liver oil which is urdverwilly admitted to be genuine —the light-brown oil supplied by Dr. de Jangle.
