DEATH TROY A NAILOOTIC POIFION.—Last even ing Dr. Lankeater held an inquest at the Prince Arthur Tavern, Caledonian-road, Johnston, to .iseertain the came of the death of a child five weeks old, the daughter of a solicitor's clerk named James Clapham Noon. residing at 16, Frederick place, Caledonian-road. From the evidence of the mother it appeared that having some washiog to do on Thursday laat, about half-pest ten in the forenoon, obis gave her child half a tea-spoonful of syrup of poppies, pro cured at Dr. Slater's ►n adjacent medical practitioner, in order to send the child to sleep. About one o'clock the child woke up very ill, and on Dr. Slater being sent for he said the child was dying, and adopted all possible means to save ita life, but without effect, as it died about twelve hours after taking the opiate mentioned. The mother further said that she had been in the Imbit of giving syrup of poppies or Godfroy'd conlial to her three other children in larger doses than the one named. Dr. Slater said the opiate was procured by him from Burgoyne's and Burbridge'a, and it was the beat article made. Be had made a }ass-ssortest examination and found that death had ensued from congestion of the brain produced by the admi nistration of syrup of poppies. The coroner, is summing up, mid lie was sore that the jury would agree with him that no criminal neglect attached to time unhappy roother,who had thus accidentally poisoned her child. The practice of mothers seeking to save a little time by sending their children to sleep by the adveutitiotas aid of a Demotic could not be too highly blamed, and of all the mesas used syrup of poppies was the most dangerous. Sometimes it was manufactured too strong and sometimes too weak, and chemists too fre queutly tampered with it themselves, and even sold as syrup a inure eats-act of poppies with laudanum in it. It ought to be more generally known that young children are likely to he destroyed by such baneful means as narcotics, of all of which he (Dr. Lankester) felt bound to repeat, syrup of poppies was the worst. The jury returned the following special verdict —" We find that the daughter of James Clapham Noon and Matilda Noon was accidentally poisoned by the adroiniotratioa of syrup of poppies, and that her death arum from the reprehensible practice of administering narcotic poisons to children for the purpose of procuring aleep" BPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVIEPOOL, SEPT. 2. ; (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) Denote V. MILLIGAN AND OIMMIL—ALLZGED FRAUDS BY A PARTNER UPON 818 nen. The plaintiff in this action was Mr. William Denton. woolc.oniber. of Bradford ; sad the defendants ware the other members of the eminent firm of Milligan, Forbes, and Co., of the same plasm. The plaintiff sought to recover upon a promissory note for 1,2004, alleged to have been made by the defendants, with 5 per cent. interest The defendants pleaded • denial that they bad made the promissory note in question, sod that they were never indebted to the plaintiff. In opening the case, Mr. James, Q.C., explained that the defendants were extensive manufacturers and merchants, carrying on business at Bradford, Yorkshire, and the action was brought on a promissory note for 1,2001., with interest s given by the firm or one of its partners, Mr. Whittaker, to the plaintiff in November, 186.0. Mr. Denton wan well ac quainted with the members of the firm, but more espy daily with Mr. Whittaker, who, at the time the note was given, was • partner in the firm. In 1858, the plaintiff having • son for whom he desired to obtain a situation, and knowing that the defendants' firm was a good mercantile school, spoke to Mr. Whittaker on the subject, and with him that hie eon should be taken on the eats meet as anassistant. On that occasion Mr.Whittakertold Mr. Denton that the firm being close run for money wanted • sum at once, and asked if he could advance it. The plaintiff did advance a sum of 2,000/., obtained • pro missory note for the amount, but subsequently the money was repaid and the note returned to Whit taker. Afterwards there was another loan of 6001. advanced finder somewhat similar circumstances, and that likewise was repaid with the exception of 11101.. which re mained standing over. In the summer of 1860, Mr. Denton, who bad been in business, but was at that time not doing much, he having some private property of his own, was anxious to invest a portion of his money ; and knowing that Milligan, Forbes,fand Co. was a firm of good standing, he thought if he could get them to do what was not an uncommon thing in the neighbourhood—invest the money in their business at five per cents—it would be worth his while to leave it with them. He communicated to Whittaker the fact that be bad some money at his disposal and asked if he would take it upon such terms. Whittaker promised to consult the other partners and inform him, and ID August Whittaker informed him that the firm bad agreed to take the money. Upon that, 1,130/. was advanced to Whittaker on behalf of the firm, and Arrangements were made that on the 13th November (that being the day on which Denton's rents became due) the interest should fall due. The sum, it was also arranged, should be increased to 1,2001., taking into ooesideration the money advanced, the 1001. &mon the previousloan, sad also his son s services. The note was then drawn up in these terms: — "1,200!. "Bradford, Nov. 13, 1860. "We promise to pay Mr. William Denton, on demand, twelve-hundred pounds, with five per cent. interest. (Signed) " S , ILLIOArt, FORBES. and CO. "WM. WIITITAKER." In conclusion, the learned counsel said that it would be attempted to be shown that the plaintiff lent the money to Whittaker alone, on forms commencing "I or we," but his client most positively denied these statements. He lent the money to the firm, and in notes similar to that be had read, commencing " We, he." Mr. Denton, the plaintiff in this action, was examined at very great length, and his evidence bore out the opening statement of the counsel. Several other witnesses spoke to the system of manufac taring firms receiving money on loan. Mr. Maniety, Q.C., before calling witnesses for the de fence, urged that it was most improbable that a firm like Milligan, Forbes, and Co. would hare borrowed money from a person like Denton, and that Denton's own admis sion that he had never mentioned the matter to the other members of the firm, though he had dealings with them, was • proof that he regarded the transaction as with Whit taker only. At half-past 10 p.m. the jury was discharged by the judge, ; being unable to agree to • verdict. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOUSE Henry Carter, described;;LiXortetwas brought before Mr Alderman Salomon,. who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with a violent assault upon a lad, 14 years of age, named John Sullivan. On Saturday last the uncle of the lad applied to Mr. Goodman for advice, as he said the boy had received severe injuries to his throat from the violence of the prisoner, and he was at that time laid up with fever, and there wu very little hope of his recovery, and it appeared that the lad afterwards became so had that it was thought advisable to take his statement of the transaction in writing, which was accordingly done, and the prisoner was apprehended on Monday. Mr. Maynard, from Mr. Beard's office, appeared to watch the case on behalf of the defendant. . Mr. Charles James Wallis, letter-carrier, said he was uncle to the lad, who resided with him at 16, Baker's buildings, Liverpool-street. On the night of the 18th of July last, at about eight in the evening, he was called out to go to his nephew, who was in the buildings. He was crying, and blood was flowing from his mouth, and he complained of his throat being hurt. He examined it, and saw the print of a band round it on the outside. It was bruised. From what the lad said to him, he went to the prisoner's house, which was close by in the buildings, and asked to see him, but he was told he was not in. A person in the oppo site house said he was in, and be said lie would not go away until he had seen him, upon which the prisoner came to the door of one of the rooms on the ground floor, and asked him what he wanted. Ile told him he wanted to know why he had been beating his nephew, and he said the boy and some other children bumped his door open, and the boy had thrown estate at it. He told the prisoner it was a wicked thing to do to beat the boy as he bad done, and he replied that he only took him up and shook him, and threw him on the pavement. He told the prisoner he must have been drinking, or he would never have done such • thing ; but he denied that, and ordered him out of the house, and he left. He went the next day to the prisoner, and he then denied catching him by the throat, and he went to fetch the boy to show him the finger marks which still remained, and on his return the prisoner had gone. He, however, showed the marks to the prisoner's wife. The bay bad been ill ever since, and on Saturday be was in formed that he was not likely to recover • and he replied that, " If God called him away, he would Seely forgive the man ;" and after that his statement was taken down in writing. The statement of the led was read, and was as follows : "When playing with some boys and girls in Baker's-build ings they ran after me and pushed me against the door. Mr. Carter kicked a little boy named Johnson. and I told him he should not strike a little boy like that, when he struck me with his open hand on my mouth and made my mouth bleed, so that nearly a capful of blood came from it. I asked him what he did that for, and threw • little stone at him. He said 'I will do it again if I catch yon here.' He then grasped me by my throat, and kept me so for some time, and almost choked me, and then dashed me on to the pavement. The day following my uncle fetched roe from my work and showed the finger marks of Mr. Carter to his wife. I bad complained of pain there, and some days after I felt a pressure in my cheat and a headache. About three weeks after only the first symptoms of scarlet fever ap peared." It was signed by the lad, and witnessed by a police officer and the surgeon. Mr. Maynard said he would li ke to ask the witness Wallis a few questions. Mr. Goodman said it was not proposed to go any further into the case then, but to let it stand over to see whether the boy recovered or not. At present it was merely a ques tion of assault, but if the boy should happen to die it would be a question of manslaughter. The witness said the doctor had given some slight hopes that morning. Mr. Maynard asked the witness if any complaint was made to Dr. Chandler, who attended the lad, of injury to the throat. The witness said complaint was made in his hearing. He thought at first, however, that it was a thing which he could cure himself, and before applying for medical aid he himself applied flannel and berartaborn and sweet-oil for several nights, but it continued to get worse. Mr. Maynard said he could prove that no complaint WIZ made at all, and was about to cross-examine the witness, but Mr. Goodman said it would be better to let the matter stand as it was for the present. Mr. Maynard then asked that the prisoner might be ad mitted to reasonable bail, which Mr. Alderman Salomoss consented to, and the prisoner's employer, who was present, consented to become bed for his re-appearance in • month. George Sutherland, described sea seaman, was brought up on • charge of violently aaseultiog • police-constable. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, police-writable John Fetherstone, 626, that be was on duty in Tower-street that morning at about one o'clock, when the prisoner came behind him, and without the slightest provocation, struck him • violent blow with his fist on the back of his head, which threw him forwards on his face, and ' in his fall he broke the thumb of his left hand and dislocated the thumb of his right hand. He got up, and the prisoner struck him • blow in the mouth, which knocked his tooth out. He called for assistance, and another officer came up, and he then became insensible. Police-constable 563 mid he was in Tower-street when he beard a heavy fall on the pavement, and on going to see what was the matter he saw the last witness lying on the pavement, and the prisoner, who appeared to have been drinking, was leaning against a post • few yards off. He took the prisoner to the station, and on the road he spat several times in his face. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was trite a stranger in London. He came from Scotland, and got paid off from his ship on the previous day. Ile certainly got • little too much to drink, and was wandering about, not kno where he wax, whoa he met the first witness, who asked where he was going, and also for a drop of beer. He told him he was going home, and gave the policeman half-a-crown, and asked for the change, but he wanted to put the whole of the half-crown in his pocket, upon which he certainly gave him a shove, and he fell forward. r was committed for trial.

THE LORD'S DAY ACT AHD THE JEWS.—A cage was recently tried at the Sheriff's Court, before Mr. Herr, in which the plaintiff, • jeweller, sought to recover front tho defendant, a dealer in jewellery at the mart in Hounds ditch, damages for a breach of contract. The plaintiff stated that he purchased some silver bracelet cLuips of the defendant, and upon reaching Lome they were tested, and it was then discovered that they were not equal to the re presentations made by the defendant. The defendant said he sold the goods as he received them, but they might be as the plaintiff bad stated. He argued, however, that the plaintiff was not in a position to recover, inso much as the deal had taken place on a Sunday, and was therefore void. The plaintiff then related to his honour that diamonds and jewellery of the value of some thousands of pounds were sold at the mart on • Sunday, and the mart was attended by persons of the greatest respectability and the largest dealers. His Honour—That may be so, and the defendant does not dis pute your evidence, but simply content, himself by plead ing the Lord's Day Act. Now, on looking at this act, which was passed in the reign of Charles the Second, I find that the defendant is right, and I must hold that the law is against you. Plaintiff—lt would be as well that this deci sion should be known, as very large aims of money are at issue on it. Verdict for the defendant. WEsT LONDON RAILWAY. —The ordinary half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office,l6, Tokenhouse yard, Mr. Bird in the chair. Mr. Turquand, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the negotiation with the West Loodon Extension Company for the absorption of their line had notbeen completed. The West London Extension line was now completed, and would be opened for traffic as soon as the government inspector had made his report. The class C shareholders would, accord log to agreement, be paid a dividend of 4s. per share within lux month. of the opening. The total receipts up to June 30, 1862, had been 317,1361. 9s. 4,1, end the total expendi tare, 316,1761. lls. There was a balance at the bankers of 8601. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said' the act of absorption could not take place without the sanction of parliament, and the West London Extension Company had promised that in the first bill they presented to parliament they would have a clause inserted for taking the necessary powers. No more delay would take place than was unavoidable. Mr. Mellor seconded the report, which was agreed to. Mr. Hartridge, with a view to save ex penee, moved. "That three shareholders be appointed to act with the Lord Mayor as &committee to superintend all details connected with the absorption, and report from time to time to the directors." Mr. Copemon seconded the mo tion, which was agreed to. Messrs. Loveleu, ilartridas, and Stockdale, were appointed as the committee. and the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE EXPORT TRADE IN LIVERPOOL—During the past month the same dulness which was manifested in July has continued, and, with the exception of Calcutta, for which vessels are in good demand, freights are generally scarce. For the West Coaat there ia little doing. The Me• diterraneen trade is dull, and though there are few vessels offering, remunerative freights are obtained with difficulty. For Australia there are more goods coming forward for shipment, sod freights are steadier, but for the United States the business is so very limited that a further decline in freights is submitted to. For British Columbia and San Francisco the business programme but slowly, although there are several fine ships loading. The total value of British goods exported from Liverpool in the month of July, 1A62, according to Mr. Platt's circular. was 5,481.7067.. against 4,327,5451. and 5,916,5081. for the corresponding months of the 'Ter. 1861.60.

THE ROBBERY OF BOOKS FRO,If TEE BRITISH MUSEUM. Yesterday, at the Middlesex Sessions, Eugene Plummer Macarthy , 44, described in the calend ar as " for mes/1y • soldier,* was indicted for steeling six printed books, the property of the trustees of the British Museum. Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Poland appeared for the pro secution ; Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. This was a use of somewhat extraordinary character, and the facts as stated by counsel for the prosecution were as follows :—A short time ago the prisoner was tried at the Central Criminal Court on a charge of bigamy, there being two indictments against him. He pleaded guilty to one of them, and there was no evidence offered in support of the other, and only a short term of imprisoement was passed upon him. At the termination of his sentence, he was ap prehended on the present charge, taken before a magistrate, and committed for trial. The charge against the prisoner was for stealing six books from the British Museum about five years ago, he than having the privilege of admission as a reader to the reading-room, but in consequence of the books being so numerous an d valuable, and so many parsons admitted to read them, there was • great difficulty in pre =lt!theft, even with all the care that was used. It that the prisoner obtained a ticket of admission to the building upon the recommendation of a Mr. W. 14. Gordon, of Pansies-street, Cavendish-square, on the 22nd ci July, 1857, upon which day he attended and signed the bai required to be signed by readers on their first admission. in the letter of recommendation he was stated to be a member of the Irish bar, and that he was desirous of prosecuting some researches into triad history connected with his name and family, having for some years mailed to practise at the bar, and that in the interval he had been residing at Toulouse with Vicomte de Macarthy, his father, and that his stay in England would not be pro tracted. He came frequently to the reading.room, and had the use of a great number of books and MSS., and it would seem that on the very day after his first admission, • book which he had, entitled "Christian Instruction," was missing from the library. On the tied of June, 1838, he was ex pelled from the library for writing on a manuscript, but on his representing to Mr. Paniui that he was merely correct. ing an error, and believed that he was rendering a service to future readers, he was readmitted to the reathoproora in the following month of July. The prisoner represented that he was collecting materials for biographies of his countrymen engaged in foreign services, arid that some of them had appeared in the Dahlia University Magazine, and this was important to a certain degree, as five out ci six of the books which the prisoner was charged with stealing bore upon Irish history and titles of honour. Three of the books were kept on shelves in the reading-room, from which readers were allowed to help themselves, and they were missed in 1858. The other three required a ticket to be filled up with the title and reference to the Museum cetalogue, but it was supposed some fraud had been perpe. tutted in respect of the tickets for these books, so that they should not be produced against him. Since the prisoner was committed by the magistrate access had been obtained to his papers, and amongst them had been found a ticket upon which he obtained one of the books, but two other tickets were not forthcoming. At the August sessions of the Central Criminal Court the prisoner was indicted for bigamy, in having married Miss O'Bryen in 1844, his former wife being then alive. There was also • second indictment for marrying a third wife, the other two being alive ; end while he was on bail upon these charges he wrote to Mr. Miller, the solicitor who was acting for Miss O'Bryen, a letter requesting that some books which were in Miss O'Bryen's possession, and belonging to him, might be returned to him. When Miss O'Bryen discovered that she was not his lawful wife, she ceased to live with him, and the books and papers were kept in a bag ready to be delivered to the prisoner whenever he should apply for them. Upon the receipt of this letter an examination of the books and papers was made by Mr. O'Bryen, the brother of Miss O'Bryen. On the 19th of August Dr. O'Bryen, another brother being at the house, in Westbourim- place , observed on the table two of the books, the subject of these proceedings, which he imme diately 'apposed to belong to some public library ; and on a little further examination he was led to think that they belonged to the British Museum. On the same day be took these books to the British Museum, and having shown them to Mr. Rye, the assistant keeper of the printed books, he at once identified them as belongingto the Museum Library. Mr. Rye, on the same day, went to Westbourne place, and made a further examination, when other books belonging to the British Museum were found and identified. No doubt being entertained that the prisoner had become unlawfully possessed of the books in question, it was determined to institute • trot; against him on behalf of the trustees of the British Museum, sod he was arrested and charged with the theft, and, after being remanded, Mr. Henry committed him for trial. Several witnesses having been called to substantiate these facts, Mr. Ribton rose to address the jury for the prisoner, and said the first thing which would be for their consideration was, did the books in question belong to the British Museum, and if so, were they removed by the prisoner! If they were satisfied of that, the next and most important quee tion they would have to consider was, were they taken away by him with an intention of stealing them? That was a very important question to consider, for, in point of law, the mere taking of an article away was not stealing, unless at the time of taking it there was an intention of stealing it and to deprive the owner of it altogether. The mere act of applying the article to his own use was not sufficient, and unless they were satisfied that there was an animo perandi they could not find the prisoner guilty of stealing. Having paid attention to the beta of the case, he would ask the jury whether they could safely and conscientiously say, supposing Mr. Macarthy took these books from the British Museum, that he intended to steal them, by permanently depriving the trustees of the British Museum of them, and appropriating them to his own use. There was every presumption that the pri soner intended to return the books, for he attended the British Museum for • legitimate and honourable purpose, for he bad written an article called the " O'Byrues of Wicklow," inserted in the Dublin University Magazine, and sometimes wrote for newspapers and periodicals. He had no intention of felony, for when he took them he did so that he might carefully peruse them ; and although it might be • breach of the regulations of the Museum to take books away, that was • very different thing from stealing them. Having censured the conduct of the O'Bryens in importing matters which had nothing to do with the case, he said, even if the jury had • doubt in the case the prisoner was entitled to an acquittal at their hands, and be trusted the benefit of it would be cheerfully accorded to him. Serjunt Gaaelee very carefully summed up the evi• doom - - - - - - - The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty of stealing. Mr. Serjeant Coulee said it was painful to see a person in the position in life of the prisoner charged with such an offence, u, from his education, he ought to have set an ex ample, and was not exposed to the same temptations as those they were in the habit of punishing every day. He could well understand that the prisoner felt his portion painfully, but the court bad a public duty to perform, and to show that the administration of the law was equal to high and low, rich and poor, and as the position to society of the prisoner made his offence the more heinous, it would be his duty to pass a severe sentence. Prisoner—Oh, my lord, I pray you to temper justice with mercy. Mr. Serjeant Guelee said that was the feeling of the whole bench ; but, having given the case the fullest consi deration, they had come to a conclusion upon it, and the sentence of the court was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 months. _ Prisoner-1 did not expect so severe a sentence as that. THE ALLEDED ARREST OF HAYHt —We (Free man's Jon rnal) are in a position to announce positively that the statement of the capture of Hayes, the alleged mur derer of Mr. Braddell, which we copied from our llligo COQ temporaries, the Champion and Chronicle, is entirely with out foundation. The opinion is general ly entertained by those whose province it is to be well and accurately informed on such subjects, that Hayes is still either in the county Tipperary or Limerick. _ . MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—YeRterday an inquiry was held at the Victory Tavern, Nelson-street, Bethnal-green, by Mr. H. Baffles Walthew, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, respecting the death of William Godwin, aged eight years, who lost his life on Friday last, under the fol lowing cireumstanoes :--Mr. Paul Balms, 7, Saville-row, Mile-end-road, said that be was driving a tax-cart, on the day in question, through Slater-street, Shoreditch, when he saw the deceased run from behind a railway waggon, the back of which he bad been riding on. Before he (witases) bad time to pull up the boy was knocked down by wit ness's horse, and thrown under the wheels of the cart, which passed over the unfortunate deceased's neck and head, fracturing his skull, and ibilict4ig severe injuries on other pert; of his person. Mr. Burnett, M.8.C.8., mid that the boy died from the effects of the injuries inflicted. The 'try returned ► verdict of " Accidental death." Wire MURDER IN NORTOLK.—NoRwicIi, TUIR DAY.—This afternoon, Mr. Press, the coroner for Norfolk, commenced an inquest at Deopham, in that county, on the body of Ann Reynolds, who bad been killed by her husband having beaten her with his fist. It appears that the pri soner, when apprehended shortly after he had committed the fatal attack, said to the policeman who took him into custody, " I know I did it ; lam sorry for it, but I shall soon be with her agile." He was quite sober when he said this, but as he appeared in a very depressed, melancholy mood, he was watched very closely until his removal to Norwich Castle, as there was reason to fear that he would commit suicide: It appears that the prisoner, whose name is Robert Reynolds, and who is • labourer, 38 yeses of age, bad been red by his landlord for some arrears of rent, which he said been paid by his wife, to whom he given the money for the purpose of meeting the claim. He called his wife to prove his statement, bat she failed to support it, having probably applied the cash to some other purpose. This ciroumatance greatly incensed the prisoner, and he commenced beating the woman violently. She fell down insensible before he desisted, and was then carried home, where she wee attended by Mr. Tallent, surgeon, of Hiegham, lint without effect, the blew she bad received having, it is understood, produced a fatal extravamitioo of blood on the brain.

COTTON GOODEL—MANCRIEraIt, SEPT. 2.—To a great extent this market, like that for cotton, a abandoned to speculators, and the prices asked are unparalleled, without going back for a great number of years. In 1825, American cotton cost 194 d. per lb. • middling New Orleans is 1101, 2s. 4d., and we must go Lack to the close of the war, 1814 and 1815, or 1798, to find a parallel with such prices. But there is no probability even of prices remaining even at present quotations. Our cloth market is changing almost every day. On Friday last the quotations for 81b. 4 or. ahirtings was lfis. ; yesterday, 18a. 6d. ; and to-day, 20s. " Owing to the state of the cotton market," say Mears. Du Fay and CA., in their circular, "most of the manufacturers decline to quota prices, and what are given can only be con sidered nominal." Speculation in fact seems rampant, and the regular merchant is keeping out of the market altogether. The prices of all kindsof cloth have been going up rapidly during the last seven days ; shirtings as much as Is. per piece, and other fabrics in pro portion. The speculative feeling seems to be getting stronger every day. The Indian telegrams are from Cal cutta to the 10th, and from Bombay to the 12th August. They show a decline in prices there, but it is understood that that would be caused by &deices hence at that date, and the next accounts are expected to show a renewal of the excitement described in previous advices. There has again been a very large business in yarns to-day, chiefly of a speculative character, and prices may be quoted 3d. to 4d. per lb. higher than this day week. Yarns of all descriptions are eagerly bought up at this advance, and some spinners have obtained sd. to fid. per lb. advance over sales made this day week. We have heard even of Bd. per lb. being given over the rates of Lit Tuesday. So anxious and excited are speculators in some instances that it seems almost certain that they would give any price to obtain suitable parcels. The desire seems to be to get hold of large quantities. Meese. Da Fay and Co. in their monthly trade report, dated ,yesterday, remark :—"The entire cotton trade is de ranged, and will be disorganised for some time to come, for at the present coat of cotton goods other textile fabrics will take their place. Woollen, linen, and silk goods will be in quired for, and prices are beginning to rise in consequeoce. To show the tendency of equalising prices, where facilities of communication exist, we mention that Cotton yarns spun in Russia have lately been offered here for sale at present market prices, and as long as Manchester is the best market for resale such transfers will of course take place. Specu lators, we presume, have not taken this item into calcula tion :so f ar, however, speculators have made money, and probably wil l continue to do so as long as the war lasts. It almost impossible to give quotations of yarn and goods at present, producers deolioing to name a price just now, while others are not working their mills at all. Asa r ule we may say that domestics are selling at Is. Bd. to Is. 9d. per pound, and shirtisgs, according to fineness. at 2s. to 2a. 3EL per pound. and these prices vary from day to day." The following is an abstract from a table in the same circular ; but it must be understood that many qualities are made from Santa and other aorta of cotton now, and it is hardly an exact comparison for that reason : TRAFFIO RETIJRNS.
