To-day there is a common ground upon which catholic and pro- testant, churchman and dissenter, can stand undi vided, prompted by that touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. Large congregations have been attracted to hear the Bishop - of Ripon, who has come here to-day on purp ose to p reach three sermons in aid of the sufferers. The other con gregations have also been invited to give pactical proof of their sympathy with the lost and suffering. While many have gone to worship, more have gone to visit the scene of the catastrophe. The towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire have laden the trains, both ordi nary and special, and it is not too much to say that thousands o f strangers have arrived. In the e vening the station was so crowded that danger w as apprehended from the crush. The . pit, as before, is deserted, and the police are carrying out their orders with commendable strictness. Per sons are not allowed to stand near the cupola shaft, which, with momentary expectation of explosion of , is again being f i lled up with earth. The result these regulations is that the continual arrivals pass on ; wander through the streets of the hamlet of Hoyle Mill, where more than every other house shows signs of mourning • and wait in different places for the funerals. The roads to the colliery are alive with pedestrians and carriages, some going, others returning. Th e interments are being con d uc ted in the most 'private manner, save the crowds who witness them. At Ardsley, about a mile distant, a large square grave has been provided in the green churchyard on the bill aide by Mr. Micklethwaite, the owner of the surrounding land. It will contain 30 coffins laid three abreast and two in length, making a total of five layers. Each neat coffin of oak-stained deal is enclosed with brick partitions and covered in with stone slabs. Owin g to the rains a portion of one of the sides fell in this .morning, and the burials had to be delayed for an hour or two. At morning service two brothers were lowered simul taneously to join a third coffin previously deposited. The mourners were fe w, and there was no atte m p t at processional dispy. About a hundred spec tators, evidently natives of the district, surrounded the ample sepulchre, treading the grass of other graves into the mounds raised above them as they listened reverently to the service for the dead. Other funerals, after the same fashion, but with m ore misc e ll aneo us witnesses, took place sub sequently, and are now taking place both at Ardsley and the cemetery on the outskirts of Barnsley and Monk Bretton. About 28 corpses were buried in Ardsley churchyard and 22 in the cemetery. In the latter the Bishop of Ripon officiated. The latest intelligence procured at the collery is somewhat hopeful. Both of the shafts at the pit mouth have become upcaata, and the filling up of the cupola during the night and morning may be said to have prodneed a gratifying effect, inasmuch as the greater part of the current of air into the mine has been cut off. If no other explosion re verses this desirable change something may be ex pected to be attempted to-morrow, when the engineers will again meet in conference. Frsenthe shafts at the pit-mouth volumes of carbon were visible towards mid-day. BARNSLEY, SUNDAY NIGHT. The Bishop of Ripon has had a hard day's work, having preached three sermons, and assisted in the burial of some of the colliers. The cemetery towards dusk was thronged, and the successive burials were followed by shifting crowds. For so largo a concourse of people the order and silence were wonderful. A few members of the same family were interred in the same grave, but as a rule the coffins were consigned to solitary graves. From 2 o'clock till dusk hearses and mourners were perpetually arriving and departing. The only noisy persons to be seen were some of the excursioniste ; and in the evening, while waiting the departure of the homeward trains, they turned the station into a scene of uproar, familiar enough to this part of the country at all excursion times, but to a stranger peculiarly out of place and inconvenient. They were ultimately got away without accident, thanks to the energy and for bearance of the railway officials. The Lancashire and Yorkshire train alone bore away 1,800 excur sionists, and probably not less than 3 , 000 would be tho to tal number brought here to-day. They have kept the town, the road, and the colliery swarmed the whole of the afternoon, and have presented a marked difference in demeanour to the steady, careworn visages of the inhabitants of the neigh bourhood. Between 5 and 6 o'clock there were three explo sions, this time at the pit-mouth. They were not notably strong, but the volumes of smoke could be seen and the reports could be heard further than a mile away. This was a result to be expected from the moment the cupola began to be sealed. That operation is not quite complete, and labourers will toil the whole night through until the shaft is air-tight. The escape of smoke from one of the shafts at the pit mouth indicates firstly that fires are still burning below, and secondly that the di sarrang ed ventilation ha s changed perceptibly for the better. What reraains to be done will be decided at the engineers' conference to-morrow, which will be attended by the most eminent engineers throughout the country. The night is singularly tine, and from the col liery premises the wild country, lit up by brilliant moon and stars, reveals its most picturesque fea tures. Several shooting stars have been seen, and amo ngst them a delicate blue meteor , of da zzling brightness, which fell through the clear sky. MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF FUND. On Saturday evening the fund now being raised at the Mansion-house by the Lord Mayor (Alderman Gabriel) for the relief of the widows and th orphans of the men who perished , and which will be applicable to e distress caused by the expladons both in the colliery near Barnsley and in that in North Staffordshire, amounted to about 700/. That was the result of only two days' subscription, and money was still coming in. In the course of the day there were two munificent donations of 100/. each, one two of 201., several of 101 . 10s., and many of smaller sums, but all equally welcome. At a meeting of the Court of Common Council, to be held on Wednesday, • sum of 2001. st least will probably be voted in aid of the relief fund, Mr. R. N. Philippa, a member of the Corporation, having on Saturday given notice of a motion w ith that view. The clerks and a ssistants in two establish ments in the City have each clubbed together and sent donations to thelffansion-honee , the knowledge of which circumstance may probably stimu late others in similar positions to do likewise. In the meantime the Lord Mayor is engaged in forming a com mittee of aldermen, hankers, and merchants to assist him in the endeavour to raise a fund which, with local assistance, shag be adequate for the subst a ntial relief of the bereaved families, and to be dispensed after the manner adopted in the case of the Hartley calamity in 1862. Mr. Bevan, the banker, of Lombard-street; Mr. Samueltdorley; Mr. GOOTge Moore, of Cheapside ; Mr. Alderman Finn s, and Mr. Christopher T. Gabriel, brother of the Lord Mayor, have readily responded to his invitation to serve on the com mittee, and other persons of influence will probably join in a few days. On Saturday the Lord Mayor receive d a t ouc hing appeal for sympathy and assistance from the Rev. M. W. ktcHutchin, incumbent of Talks in North Stafford shire, in whose parish most of the bereaved families from the colliery explosion reside , and who describes the consternation and hopeless distress which everywhere sir --gel him. (nom one seaciax unarsa.) BARNSLEY, SATURDAY NIGHT. The inquest was opened last evening at Hoyle Mill, and at once adjourned to the Court-house, Barnsley. Mr. Morton, the government inspector ; Mr. Dymond, and the solicitor of the colliery pro prietors ; and Mr. Non nansell and Mr. P. Casey, on behalf of the South Yorkshire Miners' Assodation, were present. Nine witnesses were examined (five women) as to the identification of some of the de cea sed, the injuries they had re ceived, and such remarks as those who had been brought home alive had made. The proceedings, as it was known before hand, being formal, the attendance of spectators was not numerous. Be fore adjourning, the government inspector ad dressed the coroner, informing him of the meeting of miners held during the day, of their unanimous opinion that the colliery was on fire, and of their resolve to allow three days to elapse before attempt ing to enter the mine. Some conversation followed, terminating with an agreement to adjourn the in quest till Thursday. The stories told hour after hour of touching inci dents, hair-breadth escapes, sad desolation, and harrowing exhibitions of human grief, are so nume rous that they can never be told, and, as often happens when overwhelming events transpire, the tales that are chronicled are of minor importance compared with those which are unwritten. Wor e ds cannot do justice to the courage that animated th breasts of hundreds on Wednesday_ afternoon. Within half an hour of the occurrence, MrDymond, the managing partner, without the slightest hope o to f seeing the daylight again, led the forlorn hope the bottom of the pit. Between that time and midnight relays of men who had volunteered their services, perfectly aware of the peril, followed his grand example. A gentleman who formed one of this band states that on descending every one expected to " be cut off from the land of the living but that once engaged in searching for the dead, or attempting to restore suspended ventilation, dan ger was forgotten. When the sucking of the air increased after Wednesday midnight the numbers lessened, but, according to the statement of the gentleman just mentioned, at one time there were no fewer than a hundred men in the pit face to face with death. This noble conduct continued u ntil the explosion on Thursday. During Wednes day afternoon, when the confusion rendered any thing like order impossible the crowds around the pit mouth were a slight hindrance to the workers. The dead bodies of their comrades came up too slowly for the impatient; and those who were half f r antic with anxiety to recognise lost friends in the inanimate cage loads that the imperfect machinery brought up, at length used harsh and angry words. Beyond question no human effort has been spared that could have rescued those in danger. Mingling and conversing continually with these poor people makes one so accustomed to the wholesale destruc tion of human life, that circumstances that at other timeewould absorb attention are passed very much as a matter of course. At the back of the colliery yesterday we fell into conversation with an elderly man on a canal-bridge. He made a remark about the thickness of the water, and knowing that a very popular amusement amongst colliers was canal fishing, we remarked, " I supp no fish can live here 1" An observation so casual touched a ten der chord. Without changing his tone the man—he was a weaver—instead of replying to that remark, said, as if talking to himself, that two out of his four lads now dead in the pit were fond of anglin ,, • that one of them had been just making a new rZ4I in preparation for a forthcoming fishing match ; that he always attended certain matches at a dis tance ; and that all his tackle " wur just at whoam as he left it." The "lads" were young men be tween 19 and 28, and the father's chief grief now was that he could not pay some little honour to their mangled remains. Ho was afraid the bodies would never be recovered, and that is a fear in which nearly all share. Within five minutes an other man quite incidentally mentioned that he had three lads far away into the pit. It is hard' to find a collier who has not lost some re lative. There will be ghastly gaps around the homely tables of hundreds of families when next they hold their Christmas gatherings. There is comfort, slight though it be, in knowing that all the bodies recovered have been identified ; but no statement has yet appeared that tells accurately the number of dead or missing. The estimate of 4410 given yesterday . will probably be excessive. The latest estimate is between 330 and 380. Uncer tainty is felt even as to the numbers killed by the second explosion, but 28 will not be far from cor rect. It has been ascertained that there are known to be 141 widows and 330 young orphans made since Wednesday. There is great distress to be relieved ; and at this season, when charity is supposed to hold universal reim, there are special calls for help. The in telligence of the Queen's prompt gift of 2001. was circulated through the town on Friday night with amazing rapidity, and inany a " God bless her" was offered—not so much for the value of the gift itself as for the ready sympathy of one in exalted position towards her lowly subjects plunged into the furnace of affliction she herself has known. The influential and wealthy of the country are making preparations to swell the fund of which this 2001. is the nucleus. A meeting of noblemen and others is to be held here on Monday to organize a subscription ; the members of the bar at the Leeds assizes have subscribed amongst themselves ; a public subscription, headed by the mayor, is opened at Hull ; the friendly societies of the ^re do their best in the same direction METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL OF FICERS OP HEALTIL—A numerously attended meeting_ of this association was held at the Scottish Corporation Hall on Saturday night, Dr. Draitt in the chair. Amongst others present were Dr. Aldis, Dr. Buchanan, Mr. Liddle, Dr. Lankester, Dr. Tripe, Dr. Riff, Dr. Letheby, Dr. Jar vis, Dr. Parker, Dr. Puckle, Mr. Beadle, Dr. J. Y. Vines, Dr. Barnes, Mr. Lord, Mr. Burge Mr. Orton, Dr. Parry, Dr. Spencer Cobbold. Mr. Liddle 'road a paper li r t7 a bill which has been prepared by the Metropon Pe = of Works, to regulate the construction and use of build ings, and the formation of streets, sewers, end drains in the metropolis. He criticised certain clauses of the bill He as they a ff ected regulations respecting the public health. observed that the great bugbear with which sanitary re formers had to contend was as to what Was called ' vested rights." Mr. Randle moved the following resolution : " That the proposed Metropolitan Building sod Manage ment Act, now proposed by the Metropolitan Board of Works, be referred to the General Purposes Committee for the purpose, among others, of forming a deputation to the Metropolitan Board of Works, with a view to urge exten sive additions and alterations, so that the act may be made to include as much as possible in connection with public health, so far as a building act may be expected to provide for it." The resolution was then carried unanimously. DT. Lankester drew attention to the fact that many medical of fi cers of health, under a minute of the Privy Council, had rendered special services in cases of cholera. In certain districts remuneration had been re fused by the vestries for their e xtra services, on the ground that it was illegal to give gratuities. The opinion of counsel (Mr. Keene) had been obtained, and he stated that it was per fectly legal to pay the medical officers of health for the extra soivicos in cases of cholera, under the direction of the Privy Council. He (Dr. Lankester) believed that the majority of vestries had acted honourably , particularly some of the poorest ; but two or three of the richest had resisted each claims. Dr. Letheby read a paper upon diseased meat, and also exhibited specimens of the principal varieties of such meat, from the London markets, as well as specimens of meat and human tissue infested with trichina, echinococcus, cysticercus ' & C . He further showed the spectrum appearances of blood. Dr. Letheby stated that the quantity of meat brought into the London markets daily was 600 tons, and that about 100 tons were annually condemned as unfit for human food, being about 1 ton iu 718. In the last six years 600 tons had been con demned, viz., 1,0 14 , 8881 be. at Nowgate, 210,2211b5. at badenhall, 98,2541b5. at Aldgate, and 7,9281bb. in other parts. Of this 692,4861ba were diseased, 557,432115. were putrid, 81,3731b5. were of animals which had died from accident or disease. This quantity did not indicate all the diseased meat which was brought us ; beyond the boun daries of the City there was no practical observation of the meat sold. Very recently the Commissioners of Sewers had drawn the attention of the Custom-house authorities to the fact that diseased meat and rotten sheep dressed for human food were being largely imported from Belgium and Holland, and especially from Rotterdam. It would seem that the Custom-house authorities had little or no power to check it. A long discussion ensued upon that part of the paper which dealt with the particulars of the aiseaars. NEW CENBVI or THE CITY 01 LONDON.—A. re port has been presented to the Court of Common Council on a census of the City, from which it appeared that the night population of the City and liberties numbered 113,:357; the mercantile and commercial population engaged in the City daily amounted to 170,133 ; the total day population residing in the City to 283,520 ; and the number of persons resorting to the City daily, in sixteen hours, not included in the above, being customers, clients, and others, to 509,611. The persons frequenting the City daily in twelve hours, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., were 549,1;13 ; in sixteen hours, from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., they were 679,744 ; and in twenty-four hours they were 725,986. THE REPORTED OUTBREAK OF THE CATTLE PI.AurE AT WINDSOR.—On Saturday afternoon Major presGeneral the Hon. A. N. Hood , E q uerr y to her Ma j esty, ided at a meeting of the Windsor Royal Assoetation for the Insurance of Cattle, held at the Town-hall. Among the agriculturists present were Messrs. Cantrell, Nash, G. Allen, Trumper, and others. The secretary, Mr. F. Buck land, also was in attendance. In the course of the proceed ings, Mr. F. Buckland informed the chairman that he was happy to tell him that Professor Simonds had made a i.ost mortcra examination of the cow belonging to Mr. Newman. of the Royal Adelaide Hotel, reported to have been affected with the rinderpest, and which, in obedience to the orders of Mr. Simpson, the local inspector, had been killed and buried. The body of the animal had been exhumed, and upon examination the professor declared that it was not a case of cattle plague, but that the cow had suffered from ay. alarming inflammation of the entire system. Windsor was thus flee from the disease.

Mr. James Alexander Mills, proprietor of the Castle public-house, Great Chapel-rtteet, Westmnter, was with a desperate assault upon Ann Macarthy, who ch el two most serious wounds on her head ch fli arge cted with a huge knobbed bludgeon. In su pport of t h e it was proved by the compl a i na nt and some witnesses that she was at the defendant s house on the 10th instan them t with a ccetermonger, when som e words occurred between . The defendant threatened to turn her out, when the cos when termong er offered to take her ou t, and was doing so, the defendant struck him on the head with the bludgeon, and he ran out to get the police. The complainant was following him, when the defendant struck her two or three times with the bludgeon, and some of the blows were inflicted while she was on the ground. She was con veyed to the hospital after she had suffered great loss of blood. It was shown, in the cross-examination by Mr. Smyth for the defendant, that complainant had been repmtedly at this court, and was a person of drunken and e disa h l e u d te habits.

Mr. Selfe, who would not permit a compromise, said that nothing could justify the use of such a formidable weapon by a very powerful man like the defendant while in such a position. Unworthy as complainant was of all sympathy, he must, for the sake o f the p ublic, mark his a e nse of the use of such a murderous instrument by fining him 201. He ought to c ommit him to prison without a fine, but refrained from doing so , as it might be his ruin. The money was paid. WORSHIP-STREET. William Underwood, a pale-faced, dejected-looking boy of 14 years, was charged with stealing a pair of boots, value Ns. lid., from the doorway of a shoemaker's shop in the Whitechapel-road. The charge was proved, and the prisoner had noth in g to say. A careworn woman of middle age, who had been weep- I ing aloud from the m oment the lad was charged, ea claimed, " Oh ! pray, sir, deal mercifully with him. If he has done this thing it was from want, for his father, a dock labourer, has not had a stroke of work during the past month. Not any of us have tasted a bit of bread this day yet. My poor boy has done no wrong before this that I am aware of." Mr. Ellison —Very well, I shall r emand him, for I must satisfactorily ascertain what his character is ; but if his father likes to attend to bail him out he may. The pri soner stands remanded for a week, and (to the usher) let this poor creature have a meal of victuals and a half - crown. The boy was locked up, and his mother sobbed her w a y of court. PLATING AT HIGHWAYMEN.—OR Saturday, Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, held an inquest, at the London Hospital, on view of the body of James Thomas Baze, aged 12 years, who was shot by a schoolfellow. John Lawless, a little boy, said that at 7 o'clock on the evening of Friday week a woman dropp ed three halfpence in the gutter in Backchurch-lane. A little boy, named Purcell, got a penny of it, and gave d. ceased a farthing orange. A boy, named John Bridgen, who attended the same school, came up with a large pistol and said, " If you don't give me that orange I will blow your eye out !" Deceased said, "No ; I have got to give other boys some." Bridgen said, " If you don't I will blow your eye out," and in two or three minutes he fired at him, and shot his eye out. Deceased fell at once. Witness did not think Bdgen really intended to shoot deceased, for they . used to n play together, and were members of the same choir. John Brid gen, a lad 13 years of age, was cautioned in the usual way. He stated that be was the son of a gunsmith living at 19, Waggoner's-buildings, near the Commercial-road. On the night previous to this occurrence the deceased made him "Stand and deliver!" with a wooden pistol ; witness, therefore, got an old pistol in his father's work shop, and thought he would frighten him. He bought a halfpennyworth of powder at a shop kept by a Mr. Bradley, and loaded the pistol, but put in no shot. When he met the deceased he said, "Stand and deliver!" in the usual way ; tho pistol went off, but witness thought that it could not, for he believed that he had put it at half-cock. Wit ness Mid not see that he had an orange. The Rev. Mr. Scott said that the occurrence all arose through the boys playing at " Dick Turpin the Dashing Highwayman,' in conse quence of reading a vile romance of that name. The boy Bridgen, he since learned, was going to have a play at Christmas of Dick Turpin, and he and his playmates were practising highway robbery of one another in sport, to get their hands in. That mischievous kind of play was made popular by the " penny gaffs "of the East-end. Mr. D. Thorpe, house-surgeon, said that deceased was brought in on the night of the 7th inst., with a gun-shot wound in the eye. He died from his injuries on Wednesday last. The coneuqsion from the discharge, close to the eye, had frac tured the skull. The jury returned a verdict, " That de ceased ,lied from the effects of a pistol-shot wound acci dentally inflicted on him by John Bridgen, and the jury deprecate the practice of tradesmen selling gunpowder to young boys without making any inquiry or mierciling any caution." DI,NIISAAL OF PROVOST 31ARSHAL RAMSAY. —The unceremonious ignoring of the bill of indictment for murder preferred against Provost blarishal Ramsay, at the St. Thomas-in-the-East Circuit 'ourt, must by this time be known to our readers in England. Ramsay has since been dismissed, not simply from the police, in which he held the appointment of inspector for the precinct of St. Catherine, but from the puolic service. To Ranisay's friends this is a cause of much disa pp ointment, to the "upper" awl the "governing and property" classes, it appears an outrage towards as man who played such a con spicuous part on the side of "loyalty" during the late " rebellion ;" to all right thinking and honest men, how ever, it appears, as it appeared to his Excellency the Go vernor, " inexpedient" that one whose name is so singe • larly immortalised as is that of Ramsay in connexion with ' Morant Bay, should be retained in the public service. This, as punishment for all that he has done, is little enough ; but there are men who think it hard that even ' thus much should have been meted out to him.—Kingsten ' (Jamaica ) Morning Journal, Nov. 24. THE CHURCH IN JAMLIC t. —There is something significant of the future in church history in this colony, manifest in a circular from the acting financial secretary to the several clerks of the vestries throughout the island. The parishes are henceforth to be relieved "of the expen diture heretofore incurred by them for ecclesiastical pur poses." Henceforth dissenters, Roman catholic', and Jews who do not attend the State church are not to be called upon to contribute of their means for the purposes of that church. Is it too much to hope that the day is not far distant when they shall be relieved of the glaring in justiee of having to support the church itself ? It is consi dered, and considered justly too, that " the congre gations attached to the several churches and chapels of the island may with propriety and advantage be called on to contribute the funds " for all objects of church expenditure, except the repairs of the buildings. Is this not simply fair? Have not the people of all other creeds and denominations to provide and keep up their own temples for the worship of God ? Have they not to meet all the expenditure incidental thereto? Why, then, should they contribute for the purposes of other chinches in which they have no faith, and from which they derive no benefit There is nothing like having a ' strong government, guided by a firm hand." It is able to do justice in matters which • liberal government would not dare to broach. To all who are unconnected with the established church the course determined on by the government will give • comforting assurance of the future.—Kingston (Jamaica) Morning Jawed, Nov. 24. It ieunderstood (says the Sunday Gazette) that prosecutions are forthwith to be commenced against the incumbents of churches in the diocese of London in which extreme ritualistic practices are observed, the prosecutions to be undertaken by laymen, and to be in every way inde pendent of the Bishop of London, except that they will be commenced in the consistorial court of his diocese. The cases will be proceeded with under the Church Discipline Act, and as the commissioners appointed by the bishop will have no difficulty about proof of the matters sub mitted to their consideration, they will be sent by letters of request to the Court of Arches. Whatever the deci sion of the Dean of the Court of Arches may be, there will, as • matter of course, be an appeal to the Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council, by which body it may be hoped the disputed points may be set at rest. MARKET& COTTON. —1 iveltrom, Dito. 15.—We have had a steady market to-day, at yeeteeday's full prices.

Scinde, tte., 71d. to 90. ; China, 10d. ITem, 13d. to 16d. ----- COTTON GOODS. Manonzsres, Dna 15. -- The market is very quiet to-day, and there has not been much business even for a half-holiday. Prices are much the same as yeaterday. Reviewing the business of the week it has been evident that buyers of cloth have continued to stop the way. They have no thorough confidence in prices. On Titeedsy, under the impulse of a higher and more active cotton market, they came into themarket more freely than they had done of late, and executed some of th e ir most pressing orders, giving rather higher rates than they had been willing pre viousl y to purchase at. Sellers to the on their part raised q uotations in proportion advance in yarn an d cotton, but these prices checked business, and but few transactions w ere effected at full rates. The amount of business done, however, was suf ficient to relieve stocks, and sellers have more or less been disposed to cling to the advance established on that day. As the week has progressed business has slackened sensibly, and there is some weakness in most descriptions of cloth held by parties who press sales. Yams, with some few exceptions (such as 16's to 24's water twist for instance) have been much more difficult of sale since Friday. To press sales means lower prices, and the business doing yesterday and to-day has been done on slightly easier terms. WOOLLRIC.— Lam, DEC. I.s.—The markets e at this m orning have again presente d a q uiet appeanince, th e sis tendance of buyers has been mall, and few parcels of any importance have changed hands. In the colou cloths been transferred ; the demand for tweeds has been incon siderable, and a marked contrast from our recent report has been apparent in this department. The demand for hairlists has also been quiet. A few small parcels of better class goods have met with purchasers, though only to a limited extent. No other transactions have been worthy of special notice. Prices have been firmly main- WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADPORD, DEC. 15. — There was a very fair business done in most sorts Bchl at the early part of the week, and some sore the as bright-haired wools, have been in demand up to the close. The supply of wool in the market is only manty. Stocks for a long time past have been gradually diminishing without any replacing of wool sold, and the result is that staplers, on seeking to purchase, find the prices of growers so much above those current in this meat of consumption, that little wool is added to diminishing stocks. With growing scarcity, though there is little demand, quotations con tinue to harden ; and Lincoln hogs, which are in most demand, may be quoted at Is. 1111 d. per lb ; and wethers, in alender request, at Is. Bd. per lb. There has been greater activity in wonted yarns of late. Very birge quantities of yarns, chiefly for export, have been moved from stocks, and, in moat cases, spinners have got well under contract. There have been some low offers made for some sorts of single yarns. Two-folds have also been in fair request. An improved range of prices has been ient to estab lished, though the advance obtained is hardly suffic remunerate for the advance in the price of the raw mate riAL The piece trade has not shared to any appreciable extent in the improvement in the other branches of the worsted trade. There has been rather more doing other for France and the continent, but little doing for any marketa. Prices, on a ccount of the hardening tendency of the raw material, are necessarily firm. ------- FlARDWARE.—BuriuNctuar, Dec. 15.—The trade of this town is reported of more favourably this week ; the country orders have come in m ore freely, and mandate tuners generally are better engaged. In the foreign de partment business continues dull, and advices recently received from various markets are not of • character to justify the anticipation that any improvement is at hand. Asregards the East Indian trade, all is still uns t extent, a fac tory, and those of the merc hants who, to a grey suspended operations in May last, will be in no hurry to resume, except to a very moderate extent, until the com mercial atmosphere becomes clearer awl the exchanges are m ore favourable. The continental tr.ulo generally is quie from all quarters remittance' come slowly, and, taking into account the amount of business done of late, the in debtedness outstanding very much exceeds what it usually is. The South American trade generally is inactive ;on account of the West Indies a fair amount is being done ; also to the United States.

NORWICH, DEC. 15. -At this market to-day the supply of wheat was limited, and a firmer tone pervading the trade, pi ices ruled about Is. per quarter higher then last week.
