DRAMA. PRINCkM'S. The immense advertising force that has lately been broeght to bear upon the sate of Shakespeare is produoieg theatrical results which can hardly Lava been unexpected. On all sides we hear of Shakespearian revivals, get up with commendable commercial tact to meet the de mend of the market. The earliest in the field are the mention of Sadlees Welis and the Princess's. At the former house the suburban worshippers of the legi timate drama have flocked to see a lady in the character of Hamlet, and at the latter house The Comedy of Borers has been takes from its dusty shelf, because two brothers who closely resemble each other have been got to play the two Drunks. The popularity of such truly performances shows that public taste has not much improved since Master Betty, the "infant" degrader of Shakespeare, was the idol of the hour. Th 3 brothers Webb, who made their first appearance at the Princess's on Saturday night as the two twin Droinios, Wive gained a provincial reputation in these characters. The eldest brother—Mr. Henry Webb—is well-known to metropolitan audienoss as a low comedian, having been with Mrs. Warner for meat/ seasons at the Marylebone Theatre. lie ia wall versed in all the old comedy parts, and as manager of the Queen's Theatre, Dublin. has shown great energy aid ability. The younger brother, Mr. Charles Webb, si far resembles the elder, that with a little stage =akin up, a twin costume, and a little vocal imitation he as. turn himself into a perfect copy of his brother. The nmemblaoca was sodas on Saturday that what the two actors were together on the stage at the end of the comedy It was alraost impossible to distinguish one from the other. The only visible difference between the two is one of manner. The eldest plays naturally, and gives the tone of the j..ui performance, while the youngest is, to some extent, an imitator. The comedy was well supported by Mr. George Vining and Mr. John Nelson as the two:twin Goma of .ffgeoe, but the minor characters would have gained much if the eater' bad beau a little less solemn in their delivery. The Comedy v. Errors is nothing, after all, but a Shakespearian farce--once of the earliest plays of the dramatist—the authorship of which is settled more by the record of Francis Mares than by internal evidesoe. It is oneof the series of playa produced by Mr. Phelps about ten years ago at Sadler's Wells, eel is very little knows to the play-going public. The success of the brothers Webb was undoubted, and we hope that the applause was gives more to the acting, which was very good, than to the accidastel resemblance between the two brothers. If. however, it was the twins who gave satisfaction. and not the actors, the performance may en courage number of Shakespearian adulterations. We shall probsbly hive fat men playing Falstaff, because they are fat ; iki.o k men playing Othello. because they are black ; butop.ba,:ed men playing Richard the Third, because they are deformed, and many other stage-tricks which ought not to be twat:raged. Mr. Vinn.g has placed the comedy oo the stage with much tae:e sod liberality, and has arranged it in one long act. We were glad to see that the performance—although the bill was altered by command at the eleventh hour— was honoured with the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wake. The Comedy of Errors was played in the place of Pas.% Return, and the paatomime closed the evening's entertainments. ' PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

An influential meeting of the landowners and agriculturists of et ic Kent was bold on Saturday afternoon last at the Coro Exchange, Canterbury, to adopt measures for pro moting a repeat of the excise duty on malt. Addresses were delivered by the members for the county and other gentleman. and resolutions adopted in accordance with the objects of the meeting. THE GuVEP.NMENT A NNISITIIen AMWIDMENT BILL. —A petition having been presented to the Chancellor of the Examiner, 'Spied by the representatives of upwards of 70 life offices, asking him to receive a deputation from them on the subject of the opposition to the bill, and Mr. Gladstone haring appointed Saturday, the deputation was intrademed, shortly after two o'clock, by Mr. Crawford, M.P. fur the City of Loaders. Several members of the deputation having addressed the right hon. gentleman, he, in reply to numerous questions, said with respect to the agencies the government would employ in obtaining and the businem, the responsible part would, he presumed, be conducted is London, while in the country the government officials and medical officers of the Poor-law Board would give assistance for which they would have some equivalent. He did not think the government would be in a position to employ agent as the of ors did, nor could they, he thought—from the much lower rate of interest they could make of their money and the fact that they would be doing the worst part of the business—he able to conduct business upon terms lower if es low es those of the odices. It was intended that it should be a self-supportiog system. If it turned out unprofitable, of course there were no separate funds apart from the general revenue of the country to make up the losses. Tine tables would oo doubt be calculated at the lowest rate possible, so that profits would not he de clared as in the ease of the offices. Mr. Brown felt that mikes Use government employed agents as the OffiCC4 did, the bill would prove a loss to the country, becalm' a suffi cient bulyb,r or members would not he obtained to equalise the risks, while the bill would sot benefit the classes for whom it was intended, who it was well known had to be instruoted in such matters. The government would also be liable to much fraud in the payment of claims, unless through agents they had a ready means of identification. After souse further discussion, the deputation withdrew. RErIAL up THE FIRE INSURANCE DUTY.—Mr. Gladmoue, 43 Saturday received a deputation from the Associated Chambers of 'Commerce, in respect to the abo. lithos of the fire insurance duty. Mr. Lloyd (one of the deputation) said it was a subject which excited a great deal of interest at the annual meetings of the association, which Le beggedtosay was sot in any way connec t e d w i t h th e e re ffices., who had taken up the matter on com mercial grounds, awl he had been deputed by them and they comprised 2o chambers of commerce scattered all over the country) to hoed him (Mr. Gladstone) a copy of a resolution pissed at their late annual meeting, to the effect that Use duty on tire insareaces was exceasive, and ought to be abolished or reduced to Is. per cent. The present duty was nearly treble the premium on ordinary risks, and where the premium, as in hazardous risks, was very heavy, the addition of the duty made insurance so expeceire, that many properties were not sufficiently insured, or loot M aitre.' at all, and thus it acted as as impost on prudence. It wee urged that the revalue would not at all sutler if the duty were reduced, as Menratices would ir.crease to a large extent. and that they considered it as injustice that farming .tuck should be exempt from duty, so long as maoufact urns were not. After some further discussion, and a mond.. front Mr. Gladstone that their resolution should rec.:ice attention, the deputation withdrew.

Sin,—lt will be some weeks bedotu the spring meetings fairly mover from the effects of the recant frost, to which most be attributed the somewhat tame opening of the racing season at Lincoln, and if the Imaging off of the sports on the days aointed had Won ever seal a certainty, no better result coUX 1011 1 :44,1 bay. be.. srPootod, few hones being fit as yet to figure in publin, L consequence of the interruptions that have stopped business on most of the training grounds. They were fortuato enough as it was to get over the Lincoln muted without a t peewee, and the Trod Stakes opened the np with the gnatast Mat, nine starters being somewhat unusual ; and yet its result tended to spoil the " great 'neat," for Anglo-Saxon won so verb easily, that ha not riciz p ttled the pretension of Siva, limeade, , Guerilla, and The Sapper, who WINO all in the handicap, but prevented many going to Liman for it, and the field was is consequence reduced to dem, of which the majority were very moderate, not "wanted; or too backward in preparation to be worth a thought. Aaglo thus did not, however, run up to his trial form, Partisan, who was disappointed therein when running wall, beating him for second place to Benjamin, the French heroes thus credit* the good opinion I expressed of them in my last by t raining first and woad. As regards the boatel' horses in the two races, the opinion may be ventured that liseklaad, Deakald, and Eft Bouquet will all "sae better days ;" but the two-year-olds' running for the Brockleeby were only of • moderato sump when such • filly u Vela& 000ld win, Brown Broad, Grappler, and Water Baby being the host looking of them, although they all want time. Blackbird and la Mechants, on the measly, were pretty fit, and may both pay their way in serniodus company during the next few weeks. Hungsrford,lwhich was more unfortunate thaa Lincoln ia regard to the weather, a postponement for • day b eing necessary , attracted a better two-year-old than the best we saw running for the Bracklaby, in Funs Chat, a filly by King Tom—Lady Alice, but afforded no food for further comment, the competitors for the Trial being all mats, with the maid Gloodnak the bast of them, and the handicaps bringing together but a lot of platers. Nottingham is not ttinstsord by any drawback in regard to the weather, and with six nag set for Tuesday, and seven for Wednesday, matters look promising enough, although only the Spring Handicap and Little John Stakes are of any pest importance. The former has several bonen of • good dam engaged, and Carisbrook, Trumps, D Fontimoy, Revolver, Dr. Syntax, and Tourisia u :• l l weighted very temptingly, the latter giving only from 61b to Bib to the 3-yr-olds, and being of too good • clan for one of them to win, if his party mean business. Jack'. Alive ad Osamu are turned loose at list, but Tourist strikes zoo as being capable of giving them the 161 b, and out to him Dr. Syntax and Carisbrook are the more pronimiag. The Inakospers' Plats, one mile, is more in Ossian's has, and for the Stand Piste, half-a-mile, Lamers ought to be in frost. On the mooed day we have the Little Juha Bakes, for 2-yr-olds, half-a-mile, wherein the names of Vision (lib extra), Blackbird, La Michaels, Zizi, Vicksburg, Roma, ad Black Strap an already familiar to us, these having figured at Chelmsford, Llama, or Hungerford. The three brat named ran • aloes rue at Lincoln, and at the difference of weight, with the ground good going, Vision should be beaten here by the remaining pair, who will probably produce the winner. Whatever ran heat Partisan for the Forest Plate, six lurlonga, most tars out the winner ; bat with the other *vents completed I have no anxiety to interfere. At Derby nearly all the excitement will centre la the Midland Stoop/oohs" three miles and a halt, several of the acceptors being in the Liverpool smut—via., Emblem, Asbury, Portland, Rook the Gardener, and Leading Article. We are pretty certain to me Arbury and Rook the Gardener perform. with Lincoln, Magician. Massada and one or two others, and the performance of Chanted. at Birmingham was such as to entitle her to the preference, Book the Gardener and Magician standing sent in my estimation. The Staunton Harold Stakes, for two-year olds, half a mile, has Grappler, Vision, Blackbird, Vick.- berg, and Love Letter, who have all been oat, among the entries, besides Attache, Eugenia Roulette, and 'Lady thittoo, who are previously engaged at Nottingham, so that public running will almost have settled the matter • day batondiand, only Fairy Land and Amazon comprising the "fresh blood " that can be infused into the contest.. My ideas incline towards Blackbird and Grappler, unless it should happen the pair are reserved for richer prima. Nottingham may settle the question whether Zslos is capable of winning the Harriman Plate, one mile, the only other item worth discuming.-1 am, sir, METEOR. HUNG ERFORD RACES. SATURDAY.

The ordinary February general meeting was held ad Saturday at Willis's Roams • his Royal fliglinem the Doke of Cssintrace presiding:. Among those present were Lori Echo, Lord Dude, Sir J. Shelley, Y.P. Sir Rob. Hamiltor, General Eyre, Colonel Barton, Coloool Biggs, Colonel 11I'Murdo, Colonel Lindsay, Major Carpenter, Lied Grosvenor. General Hay, Sir Jno. Burgoyne, Mr. A. Ifda naiad, M.P. The CHAIRMAN was happy to report that in the state of its finances, its whole organisation and arrange ments, the association erne in a most satisfactory position. The income was not very large, but was sufficient to meet their requirements, and was in a progressive state of 's crews from year to year, and although the funded property was very small compared with what they could wish, etill set had increased year after year. It was to be hoped that by degrees they would accumulate a sum which would enable them to do more than they had yet done, but in the mesa while he trusted that the friends of the association would not press for any unnecessary increase of rapes& ture, for it would be obviously most unwise if, merely because they had a larger amount of funds in bead than they had last year, they were at once to attempt to extend the general influence of the emaciation. Their funded property last year was 3,0564, this year it amounted to 4,210. The income of the eraciatioa in 1862 was 9,087/. 2s. 6d a in 1863 it was 12,054/. Us. 108., beiag . as increami of about 3,0001. In 1862 the number of prune given was 104, the aggregate value being 3,334/. 13s. ; is 1863 the number of prises was 332, and the amount 4,386/. tis. 6d., being an increase of months& 200 in number, sad I,ooo'. in money value. (Hear, hear.) Of this 1,000 f., at least 900 f. was given to the bag Fintield prison. The =tries for the Queen's prize in 1862 were 932. and in 1863 1,145. The total volunteer entries in 1862 were 1.283, sad in 1863, 2,739. The all-comers' prizes wore-3,261 in 1862, and in 1863, 4.804. The total increase of income in 1862 was 3,059/., and the surplus over expeuditure was 8791. It was with the view of improving the fistula position of the associatios it was propound that instead of having oaly one competitor from each company two might be selected, and that the entry should be raised from 10s. to 20.. Of course the entry is merely voluntary. The National Rifle Asescsation had now connected with it thirty-one county and fourteen colonial associations. (Cheers.) The canoed were anxious sot to trench upon the traded property till it amounted to 10,0001., which be thought • wise and prudent resolve. Another meeting would be held in May, when the details for the Wimbledon meeting could be die. cussed ; at the same time the oteineil,would be glad to receive sopesiwas on the present acomira. Rafter* to the recent rifle eoefereora, be added that he had been requested to nod • letter from the Seuretarylfor War (Earl de Ourylinespeating the want of uniformity in class tiring amongst different volun teer corps. The letter which was read by H.R.H. proceeded— " As the council of the National Rifle Amoraation, basing its opinion no doubt upon the wide experience which it has gamed in watching the progress of rifle shooting throughout the country, appears to De now impressed with the necessity of establishing some special rules for conducting the musketry practice of the volunteer tone, I request that your lord .hip will have the goodness to communicate to the council my williamiess to resolve any farther seggentioes on this subject which it may be prepared to offer, and that these, when submitted to me, shall be taken into salinities easel decision, provided that they do not involve any principle at variance with the system of butt oction pursued at the schools of musketry?' to conformity with this letter, the council had appointed 'immunities to inquire fully into this subject, and the mutt of their inquiry would at a future day be laid before the association. Colonel Bocce moved, and Sir J. CAMPBELL seconded, the adoption of the report. . . . &pie. TruPLAB suggested that some opportunity should be afforded for competing with different kinds of rides. He also suggested that the back-sighting of the Enfield should be reduced to a simple horizontal bar. Lord ELCIIO observed that all such matters would be con sidered by the council between this and the Hey meeting. They bad heard of • heavy rife in the Confederate Skies which required two man to nee, but which by the aid of • telescope achieved extraordinary milts at 2,000 yards against artillery. A discussion then ensued upon • variety of details, in the course of which objections were raised by Mr. Hemmiag, General Hay, and others, to the form of target fixed upon by the council, on the ground that the outer circle being cut off above and below the ball's eye, while it marked right and left, did not give a fair general restdt of the shooting. The report having been adopted, . . . Geeeral Bonzii sewed um ienelection of the vice preeidenta. The motion was seconded by Colonel hf'Donatn, and carried. The member of the council retiring by rotation were, ea the motton of Sir J. Shelley, 'wooded by Sir R. Hamiltoo, reelected. The Duke of Cambridge Will re-elected president. Some alterations were made in the rules as to the terms of competing for the queen's prize, and • rote of thanks, morel' by Sir J. Burgoyne, seconded by the Hon. F. Byes. WY passed in favour of his Royal Highness, the Chairman, who, in expressing his acknowledgmente, declared his coocurrence with • remark which had fallen from General Hay, to the effect that it seemed to be too much lost sight of that the object they ought to leok to was not so much the winning of prizes sasthe attainment of efficiency of shooting in the field. St'Ht'ATHE IN BEHALF OF THE Sit AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS IN ADERICA.—A pleasing communication was made at a meeting of Americans recently held in Leedom. The meeting wee called for the purpose of summing sym- pathy sod approval of the tinted States Sanitary Coto mission, mid also for devising means whereby support might be rendered to this benevolent institution and it was an nonneed that Mr. George Elliot bad, is oorrespoodeoce with Mr. Cyrus Field, offered to present 1,000 tom of coals, free of all ecets,to all shippiog poet be might same, the pro ceeds of which to he applied to the relief of the suffering moldier,.

CAPTAIN SEM MEN AND TH E ALAB AM A.—MT. , Cooper the novelist should have died hereafter. With • ' craft like the Alabama on the high seas, commanded by a man like Semmes, we, of 181,4, cannot but find J. Ferri more Cooper's sea stories to be somewhat tame reading. The Alabama has visited Singapore and been inspected by newspaper reporters and others, who describe her as • model of beauty and order. Captain Semmes points aloft to the Confederate ensign and says, " No matter, that flag never ' comes down." He means no matter whether the South are subdued or otherwise; be will Dever bead to the yoke. That is to say that be is • rebel on his own responsibility and will bold out as an independent outlaw fur the remainder of his natural existence, a sort of Hob Roy afloat. Perhaps the South may accede to terms of reunion ; Semmes says, " No matter," and goes about on the high seas burning American ships. reducing their captains, crews, sod pa ssages to destitution, and turning them adrift in distant ports upon the charity of the world. All this is done, let it be marked, without daring any of those perils which even the meet ordinary robber has toenoounter. The weak, Captain Semmes preys upon, the strong he gives the slip to.

Having made the acquaintance of Mm Ferneley through conducting a suit for her in the county court he had felt willing to assist ber, as far as he could, by occupying matte in her house when he came to town. He denied that there was anything immoral in the coo. auction. The learned omuniel insisted that there was no sufficient proof of adultery evilest his client, and claimed the verdict of the jury on the Mete relating to him. The case was then adjourned till Wodneeday amt. when it is expected this Mr. Locke will address the jury on behalf of Mrs. Fersolay. THE POLICE COURT& _ _ GUILDHALL. Join Leaky Wregg, an agent in the service of Mr. Ceo. Hawkesley, a manufacturer of silver and plated goads, at Tbavies•inn, Holborn, and at Sheffield, was charged with embezzling money and goods belonging to hie employer to the amount of about 2.0001. He was also shagged with forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 221., with intent to defraud his master. He was reamadad, bail being accepted to the amount of 1,0001., and two sureties in 50W. each. DUBLIN AND MEATH RAILWAY. The ordinary general meeting of the company was held on Friday, at the Broadstooe Station; Mr. W. H. Au. CANA ia the abuse, of Biz J. Paxton, coupled the chair. The directors' report stated that the attire Ilse Is at length practically complete, as all the important works were ap proved by the government inspector on the 29th ult. ; sad eir Noce al an additional platform is piut up at the Hilmeesen station, the sanction of the Board of Trade to the opening of the line will be given. The directors believe that the line will be available for passenger talk before the bell yearly meeting on the 26th inst. Durum de last half-year the traffic hadbeen conducted without aeoldeet, and there had been an increase, as compared with the ecinimponding period of 1862, of 21 per cent. on pummel', 9 per out. an parcels, 135 per cent, on horses, can cages, auddop, and 98pr out, on goods and cattle. While the traffic expenses, Si compared with the receipts for the same period, showed • decree's of two per cent., notwithataoding that the cost of maintenance of way is that half-year charged to traffic account. The directors do not, however, consider that the results upon this portion of the line amply • fair criterion of the value of the property, and they look with confidence to the working of the ookr ia lrool. by which • larger proportionate income , at a smaller propor tionate out, loathe realised. It was to be regretted, that daring the period when smistance has bees Deeded, the shareholders have not rallied more strongly to the proter tics of their own property ; and now, when a WWII m ouse may be relied on, it wu to be hoped that they would do so, and thus prevent an i DOMINI of expense. In lace ease the further capital sought by the pending application to Pediment will be sufficient, and the entire line will have been constructed at • out of 13,000/. per mile, an amount which, though largely exceeding the sum which had been expected by the directors, ie still such as to justify the be lief that the traffic over the entire lime will yield • lair re turn to the shareholders. The Ciudansic, on moving the adoption the report, said he wee happy to be able to state that the concern was to a most satisfactory condition, and that the report was also most satisfactory. -- - . Mr. RICHARD BOLTON, Restive Abbey, Heath, seeeaded the motioo. He thought they must all epee with the re marks of the chairman relative to the satiefsatory state of their affairs. He hoped that when the has wee opened their traffic would extend. . Sierra,tbri solicitor to the company, is reply to a question u to the making of the line costing 13,0001. a mile, said no one could feel more on thin subject than be did. At the same time they coated not pick up spilled milk, and it would be wiser, isstead of looking to the past, to look to the future. (Hear, bear.) They now had the line opened, and he was only surprised at the fact, for their difficulties within the lest three years had been very oonsiderable indeed. Those difficulties had, however, been overcome by the directoes, and by thins who assisted them, at a very large out. Looking to the future—not, however, judging of the Peet month, but looking from that day forward—any one might see for himself, from the return, that the income of the company, at the smallest amount at which it could possibly be, would Meter than sufficient to pay five per cent. upon the present debenture and preference shares. With reepest to the carriageot mails the directors would make every effort to arrange with the l'ostofflos. With respect to the traffic, whether it were in tattle. goods. Pan, or whatever the material might be, the directors were equally solicitous, end the traffic manager had, of course, instructions to faster it in every possible way. In reply to some other remarks, Mr. SETH said they would have no competition to Atli boy, where their line mitered a very good country ; their traffic would be a new one, mid cot detrimental to the interviste of any other company. The slightest exertion on the part of the shareholders would keep the oast of con struction at its present figure, sad he had not the slightest doubt that by the next half•yearly meeting they would be paving a good and satisfactory dividend. After some further discussion the report was adopted, and the directors, who retired by rotation, were re-elected. CE,rrRAL WkLEA RiILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting WIN held on Saturday at the Westminster Palace Hotel; Mr. F. Maitland in the chair. The secretary reed the report, which stated that the works in the construction of the line had, during the pest six months, been carried on with much energy, not only eloog the whole length of the line between Kmcklas and Ferryboat. bat alio beyond Llandridrod. The directors have decided that as the works on all portions of the line were now so much admi r ed, it would be better to open the line throughout from Knighton to Llandridrod, and with that view every effort would be made to enable the line to be opened during nett August for general traffic. On the notion of the chairman, the report was adopted. • SEVENOARs, M•IDAIONE, AND TUNBRIDGE RAIL WAT.—The directors report that the traffic for the past half-year ha. been moat satisfactory, showing an Mmes.' of 1,1931. over the oorrespoading half-year of 1862, or at the rate of 43 per cent. The balance applicable to payment of debenture interest, which for the latter period was 6881. 13e. 10d., is for the last six months 1,642 f. 16e. Bd.

Mr. Arnold discharged them, but required them to enter into their own recognimaces to be of good behaviour for three months. _ Hi worship gave judgment in a case which has excited some interest. Captain Martel and his family, residing at Mansion bouse•strset, Kennington, have, ever since Match last, been constantly subjected to the annoyance of having their windows broken by stones and coal, evidently thrown from some ailjaoent pleas. A youth named Booth was fined for the offence, but upon being taken into custody a second time he escaped from home, and has not since been beard of. The anitoyanos still continued, and the sister of Booth was takes into custody, and charged with a similar offence. _ _ The magistrate commented upon the scandalous nature of the outage. called upon the prisoner to find ball t. attend whomever called npoe to receive sentence, and assured her that if the *Anorak* mistimed the punishment would Ps most severe. A CHILD POISONED SY ITS MOTHER.—A. shock ing child murder has just been committed is Suffolk. The victim is • little boy, aged three years, named Frederick Brown, the illegitimate child of a young woman named Julia Brown, the daughter of • journeyman blacksmith at Fekham, a village near Bury St. Edmunds, but who has for some time put bees living in service is the adjacent pariah of Brettenharn. It appears that the deceased lived with his grandfather at Felsham, and the young woman last week wept ever for the purpose of seeing her mother, who was ill. She stayed one night, and shortly before she was about leaving on the following morning, to return to her 1 1 saltation, the child was taken suddenly ill and became vio lently sick, and continued to get worse till about three o'clock in the afternoon, when it died. A surgeon was sent for, and saw it just before its death, sod as he was unable satisfactorily to account for the decease, • post mortem examination was made. The stornaoh was found to be filled with • dark gel►tinous fluid, and was perforated in two places ; there were also other appearances inconsistent with death from natural causes. An inquest was accordingly held before the coroner for the district, when the fade above stated were peeved in evidence, and also that the doused had eaten a oaks which his mother bad brought him, and which, she stated, she bought of • woman as the road, together with two other similar ci.kes, which she gave to her little brother and sister ; it happened, however, that neither of theme two last-mentioned cakes had been eaten, and one of them was gives to the surgeon. At the post-mortem exami. nation the stomach and intestines of the deceased ware removed and handed over to a surgeon, resident at Bury, for analysis, and the inquest was adjourned until Friday last for the purpose of ascertaining the revolt. On Friday it watuproved that the death of the child was caused by coo eentrated sulphuric acid, and on searching the box of the mother, one of hex dredges (which she bad worn on the day she went home) Will found to be very much burst with the same acid. The evidence left the jury no alter native kit to return • verdict of " Wilful murder" against Julia Brown, and the coroner made out his wartime, commit ting her to take her trial upon the charge at the approach ing assizes at Bury St. Edmunds.

Braes the redoctiou of the beak rate, however, there has ben a rather more cheerful feeling, sod yesterday bed this morn ing we bear of earns purchases, chiedy foe India, at fair pnoes. All the more recent advises from Calcutta and Bombay hare spokes of improving markets there, and some of the bowies here shipping to India have been quietly placing orders which have been held over for some time past. We hear of a few rather large sales ; but, generally speaking, buyers ere still disposed to act with caution, and limit their purchases within narrow limits. The purc hase which have been made have straegthened the hands of holders of cloth. and they ere stall sanguine of higher prim, owing to the peat limitatios which has takes Ow an production since Christmas.

In the course of the week a very fair sup. ply of orden has come in, and manufacturers have sufficient oti their books to enable them to go on working full time. In the state of the principal branches there has not been much change of late. The gas-fitters report that orders ban somewhat fallen off ; but is the metal trades then is a good amount of business being done, and the platen, wire. drawers, and metallic bedstead makers are working fall time. The button trade is quiet, not mush beim does in goods suitable to the spring trade is that branch. Is the adjoining district trade is tolerably brisk ; there is a coati datable business being dose is castings. The hollow-ware manufacturers are busy. For railway fitting then are some good orders, and the saddlers' ironmoogers of Walsall are well mined. Throughout the district labour is fully employed. The iron trade is Nit se compared wit► ite one dawn a few weeks since ; the works are most of them is full operation, but there an few fresh orders coming in, deal ers and consumers holding back in consequence of the high scale of prices, but there is DWI muck probability of these going lower ; the high price of material, coupled with the advance which has taken place in the workmen's wages, bring a bar to any reduction. A failure of some importance wee amounted lien this more* ; it is on the put of Mr. ' Alfred Barker, who has been extensively engaged is the metal trade. A circular bee bees issued, in it the failure is attributed •• to the greet fall which has takes place is the I value of Scotch pig won." A meeting of the creditors hie been celled.
