THE Vi 1,1.:Nr• The tine a : ,t: the work of breaking.un.the dew itat funned during the previous night.' Beyond this nothing was done unttl the amitotic/1 of, noon, when the small band asearchers - here , assisted in their wearisome la boar by rite kill of experienced divers. The news of tin , ...on spread over the western dis tricts ~f the metrapolis, and in the afternoon the binks'of the like h ere very math crowded, for the most part with well-dressed p,trsons, who watched the netacimitts of the square pi:iit atrryii.g the pumping apparatue of the dicer Walt intense ite rnat. When the first diver mute upon the scene, already dressed for his first descent, with the ex ception of his helmet, a thrll of eacitement ap is .0..01 to pass throti.,ll the crowd, and the previous silence was broken by low murmuring snouts. No time was lost in pushing the vessel into the deep portion of the broad water opposite the mansion which lies between the ton islands in this part of the lake.

His seam!! ! however, Noyes; limitl e ss. Nor wr.s the Set, aa dim era hoafterwardswelit tbm a miirestiecessful,;l•ll night closed in without the recovery of the bodies that were, and are, supposed to be still tinder the water. The secondary incident of the day was the abandonment by the volunteer ice eolleet•,rs of the isouthern shore of the lake. The wells, it was said, hail become full, mid the demand for ice had ceased. One or two large consumers of the article brought their boats and appliances into use upon the deep water, and carried away consider able quantities. The heavy ice thus landed pre sented various degrees of quality. Some of it was beautifully clean mid transparent. while the other and the more considerable parts bad a dull dirty appearance. A few active mil benevolent gentle men impressed with the necessity of keeping the banks fret, front the ilriftim , fragments, so that the after fn .at might not consolidate them into one solid mass, determined to appeal to the crowd for pecuniary assistance. The result of this appeal was a sum sufficient to induced a umnber of those who had "struck " to resume their work for the remainder of the afternoon. The operations of the divers were vuttineed yes terday, and the same living stream that on Wed nesday swept the thoroughfares converging on to the park appeared to have again set in. The cold air and threatening e!onds overhead did not check either sympathy or curiosity. and throughout the day the park may be said to have been completely mobbed. Skating and sliding were general on the tipper parts of the lake, where the ice was evi dently very strong, and every foot of the accessible islands from whence a view could he obtained of what was going on in the boats was covered with' spectators. Except here and there, however, the conduct of the multitude wasnot marked by theleast indecorum. The same gentlemen who on Saturday collected money to remunerate the men employed in clearing the ice, renewed their appeal to the pub lic, not only in person, but also posting bills on the gates and trees soliciting subscriptions. The re spouse received enabled them to pit on nearly 20 teen ; and at the close of the day a longand high mound of ice testified to the industry of the men, as well as indicated the neighbourhood of the calamity. The diving arrangements were, as on Saturday, under the direction of Mr. Heinks. The divers, in circular routes, examined the entire bottom of the broad water, that must by this time have become suffi ciently familiar to most newspaper readers. Up to suezet, when the diving was suspended, they had found nothing but a pair of skates, and the grati fying inference drawn from this trifling discovery is, that there could be no bodies lying there ; if therehad it was said to be very unlikely that they cold have escaped the vigilance of divers who could detect and bring up such small objects. THE ADJOURNED INQuF.ST. On Saturday evening the coroner's jury empanelled on Wednesday last, met again in the board-room of the Marylebone Workhouse, for the purpose of receiving addi tional evidence of identification. Dr. Lankester, the co roner, as at the previous sitting, was accompanied by his deputy, Dr. Hardwick. Mr. Oreenwell, the vestry clerk, and several of the local authorities, were also present. The identity of 12 bodies remained to be proved, and of these the had already been seen by the jury ; the other sen n recovered since Wednesday remained in the dead house to be viewed by them. The Coroner, on taking his seat, after reminding the jury of what took place at the former sitting, said he re. &retied to have to inform them that there was every pro that all the bodies of those who had fallen through the ice into the water had not been found. Should that prove to be the case, although he was not aware whe ther the authorities intended to continue their labours for the recovery of bodies to-morrow, they would have to determine the course of action they should pursue with re ference to them when they reassembled on Monday morning. Mr. Douglas, the mister of the 31arylehoue Workhouge said, with regard to there being more Lilies under the ice, be had no doubt of the fact, from the number of applicio Cons Which had kept pouring in, with descriptions of the parties.. _ Mr. loyls, the stunnioninz officer, said that Mr. Ed waails, the mis•rintendent of the Ret.ent'sipark, hail in formed hint that it was the intention of the Authorities to continue the search for the balks the who)... of Sunday, and that he believed the operations of the divers would ttlso be continued. The Coroner remarked that in that Cave they might pos sibly have several more bodies got out between then and Monday morning. He had received a large a m o unt o f eelTkyoll.lcoCo from perssms who stat d that they had witnessed the accident on the ice, but which he did not think it neeeseeiry to read to tho jury they could, how ever. see it if they wished to do so. He begged, however, to state publicly that those gentlemen who had written this correspondence, if they attended the court, would, if they chose to tender their evidence, be examined. If the jury would now view the other bodies they would then proceed with their identification. The jury then proceeded to the dead-horse, and viewed the ha:jun still lying there, and on their return the coroner said they would first the the eases of the five nut identified on Wednesday evening, and the seven which had teen recovered since.

These being the whole of the cases in which the bodies had, up to the present time, been recovered and identified, the coroner said he would now adjourn the inquiry till 10 o'clock on Monday morning, when lie proposed to resume it at the Mary's-hone Court-house, which had been granted by the vestry for the porpoise. Mr. Dyason, a ineinher of the jury, said he thought that some attempt should be made on the part of the office' of the government board of works to alniw the water off, lint only onaccomat of the immediate recovery of the bodies which might still be lying there, so that the anxiety of their friends and relatives might Is• allayed or their fears confinited, but also r.. test in what state the bottom was - whether it ice. full of mutt as alleged, and what its depths were—points which he thought the jury ought to be made hilly acquainted with. (" Hear, hear," from the juts - .) The f '..tua.l -- I' is no doubt very desirable that every body a lio la.e.

I think there can he no donlit from what bass transpiaeal that the local authorities tire fully willing to aid the jary in such a matter. Their high approval of the course which had beenielopted with regard to the officials under their co . it i ..1 is an evidence of that ; and I think it is due that I should MAO add my *dimity. as I believe I can do that of the juts- and the public. to the humane anal zealous, as well m judicious proceedings adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Douglas, the master and matron, the inealimil staff, and other officers of the establishiuent in doingall they could to mitigate the horrors, awl relieve the sufferings of those in any way connected with this sad occurrence. No doubt, if there is a means of at once emptying the lake. knowing the wishes of the jury, the local authorities might 'mike some repre sentation on the subject. The summoning ot'icer said he understood that there was a sluice by which the lake could be emptied in come way into the Regent's ('anal. . The (ironer—l have no doubt if the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Beal-dot Works, I.ord John Manners. were niatle acquainted with what the wishes of the jury in the int.irests of the public are, he mut be inclined to direct the water, if it can he .lone, tots: drawn off, but although at a subsequent period when we may have hail some evi dence before the jury to prove in what state the bottom of the ornamental water is, if it should then be proved that it is in such a muddy condition as to be calculated to hold the hodies of some of the unfortunate people who have fallen in by. that calamity, then I think it would be corn potent for this jury to ss p a a resolution, and send it to the l Chief Commissioner of Works. expressing their opinion that they cannot proceed satisfactorily with their inquiry unless the water is drawn off from the lake. I have no . hesitation in saying that I think it ought to be done, but at the state time I. think it would he premature to come to a resolution without evidenee as to the fact that there are bodien still retained there which cannot be reco vered without such process takes place. Mr. Greenwell, the vestry clerk of Marylebone, said he agreed with the coroner that unless the fact was esta blished by evidence that there were other bodies :it the bottom of the water, they could not be in a position to peas any resolution on the subject, 'The Coroner—l think it will be much better to wait till we have some evidence on the point of whether 1 there are any other bodies at the bottom of the water, but in the meantime the vestry as the local authorities might net, and send sonic resolution or memorial to the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, in whom the I authority over the Regent's.park and the ornamental water lis vesittsL - _ . - .. Mr. Mains, a jurymen, and who is also a guardian and member of the Marylebone vestry, said he thought the jury bad a perfect right to give some expression of their opinion, that sere prompt and energetic measures should be taken to recover the bodies, there being strong prima fade evidence that more bodies were there. He believed there was a general wish on the part of his brother jury men that some such step should be taken—(" hear, hear," from the jury)—and be felt quite assured that if it was in the power of the Marylebone vestry to effect this object, knowing the wish of the jury, they would carry it out. Mr. Greenwell observed that the subject was one re quiring deep consideration, and if it could be done with out emptying the whole of the lake, it would be desirable, as there were the inhabitants of the most respectable neighbourhood, facing it on the western side of the park, also to have their feelings considered. A juror wished to ask the coroner whether he was aware if the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, Lord John Manners, WAS in town. The Coroner said he was not aware if Lord John Manners was in town or not. Mr. &Immix the park superintendent, was understood to say that his I , rdship was in town. The Coroner thought, however, the matter had better stand over till Monday, and the court was then formally adjourned till this day. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. On Saturday afternoon the glans rose rapidly to :3; deg., and for two or three hours there was eve'' , sign of the frost giving way. By midnight, however, the glass had again fallen to 24 deg., or 4 deg. below freezing, at which point it continued during the night, and up to 9 o'clock yesterday morning. At noon yesterday the thermometer at the receiving house registered :12 deg.. and at 7 o'clock last evening it bad fallen to 29 deg. During the whole of the day a strong and intensely cold wind blew from the north-east, but notwithstanding this wind an immense concourse of people visited the various parks during the day, and the icemen state that they never , recollect seeing a larger number of persons on the Ice at one time. On the Round Pond, Kensington, the ice is 4 inches thick, and there were 8,000 persons on it during the day, without may caltialty. . . . . . On the Long Waler, Kensington-gardens, the ice is 4 inches thick. Upwards of 12,000 persons on during the day. No casualties, except a few cuts from falls. On the Serpentine the ice is 3t inches thick. More than :so,orm) persons on during the day. There were several immersions and injuries from falls, but none of a serious character. That portion of Ilyde-park adjacent to the Serpentine presented yesterday the most animated appearance, not only from the larco numbers on the ice, but from the great crowds of persons* of all classes, in carriages, on horseback, and on foot, who lined the carriage drive and the prome nades on the hanks. The whole length along the edges of the water wero lined with the stalls of the vendors of fruit, hot coffee. roasted chestnuts, spice nuts, and the letters out of skates on hire. To discourage night skiing the police ordered all the stalls to be removed at 6 o'clock last evening. This measure appeared to have some etfeet, as at 7 o'clock there were not above 100 persons left upon the ice. The number of persons assembled in St. James's-park was something extraordinary. During the whole day the ice on the lake was literally swarmed with people from end to end, while locomotion along the banks and the gout-red walks of the enclosure. front the great crowds of spectators, was slow and difficult. &tend acci dents from falls and *nand immersions took place, but nothing very serious. There was no repetition of the disgrace. Jul scenes of hist Sunday at the Suspension-bridge across the lake, a hotly of park constables having been placed at each end to keep the approaches clear, while others patrolled the bridge ; keeping the people constantly moving on. About four o'clock in the afternoon, however, several hundreds of rough lola and boy* commenced a proceeding which. if it had not been speedily stopped by the icemen and constables, would have ended in a serious disturbance and personal injuries. About the centre of theThike several stout ropes are laid on the ice from shore to shore to be ready in case of emergency. These ropes were taken up at each end and in the middle by the parties above-men tioned, and rushing along the ice with loud shouts wept all before them. anti the ice being much crowded, skaters, sliders.:.u,l walkers, who were not fortunateenough to get out of tb' way. were thrown down a nd tram pled upon. Af to' this rough game had been carried on for about a quarter of an hour, it was put an end to by some of the park con., stables going on the ice and cutting the rope in the middle, after doing which, however, they had to beat a hsaty retreat to escape ill.treatment from the roughs, whose sport they had thus summarily put an end to. The gates of the enclosure were shut at 5 o'clock, at which hour it was supposed to be cleared, but it was past seven before the people were all got off. Late on Saturday evening John Doughty, engineer, of 12, Little Marlborough-street, Regent-street, while sliding on the Serpentine, fell and fractured his leg just ahote the ankle. He was the up a state of great suffering, and conveyed to the receiving-house, where his case having been attended to, he was taken ti St. George's Hospital. On Saturday afternoon Alfred Higgs, a boy aged seven years, of Q Arthur-street, St. Giles's, while sliding on the lake in St. James's-park, fell through into five feet of water. After being in the water five minutes he was rescued by Iceman Perry. The boy bad a narrow escape from being drowned.

TUE MrII:DER NEAR NOTTINGHAM. %.1 a al,vri ti sitting of the Notts magis ti John Maiy W,tsion wele brought up on renhuid, charged with the wilful murder of Mr. H. Raynor at Carlton on the 17th of November last. Mr. Crtnch appeared on behalf of the prisoners. Mrs. Raynor (widow of the murdered man) and her sister were present during the inquiry, attired in deep mourning. The mother and sister of the female prisoner were also in court. The appearance of the prisoners was very quiet and attentive. 1 hey were accommodated with state in front of the dock. There were 4:1 witnesses to be exanmined. The female p , risoner was said to be enceinte. The court was crowded, and considerable interest was taken in the pro . Ann Rhynor (widow of the murdered wan) said there had been :i at deal of unpleasantness between her hus band and the male prisoner about a copper which the latter used for his own purposes, bat which was the pro. peaty of her husband. Her husband was a rent collector, and lie had oft. u to put in bailiffs when rent could not be obtained. There was a dispute between her husband mid Mr. Marriott about the house at Carlton. While she and her husband lived at Carlton they had their windows broken and were otherwise annoyed. Her husband did pone,not use but generally a white bag for his money . ;L a en he left home on the day of the murder he had a watch with him. Fred Brown, her hnsland's clerk, had been examined about the white bag. She bad a conversa tion withatrown about the bag previous to hie examitia. l i lion before the magistrates. She simply told him to speak the truth. Several other witnesses were then examined. Sergeant Brown said he was at Watson's bonne on the morning after the murder. Mrs. Watson lied on no apiuu stained with blood, awl he took possession of it. The poker was bent, and he took possession of that also. He found several other articles stained with blood. When the fourth pair of Watson's boots were found there were two spots on them. Prisoner looked at them very care fully. nod mid, " It's not blood, is it?" This was before the word blood bad been im-utioned by anyone. Elizabeth Poole, upon •eamliing the female prisoner. found a white bag containing 71. Frederick Brown (Raynor's clerk) identified this bag as being the property of his late master. Thomas Simpson sold a list to Raynor last summer. The hat produced was a on e in every respect. Superintendent l'aletborpe Raid the Ilia produced was part of the one he sent to Dr. Taylor. The other half he kept himself. Elizabeth Kellam said she met Raynor on the night of the murder. lie was walking to the Carlton railway station about a fmarter past live o'clock. Upon being formally charged with the murder, the female prisoner said, " I wish to say before this court that I am innocent, and I am ready to swear it, and shall do so until the time of my death. My hands are clean. I swear before my (hod that I have neither touched Henry Raynor or his clothes. As to the blood found upon my garments, it was not his blood. I never saw Raynor dead or alive after I saw him when my mother and the boy Claringbourne were with me." Roth the prisoner* were then fully committed for trial at the next assizes.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-JAN. 19. Sittings in Banco.—{Before Mr. Justice Keating and Mr. Justice Smith.) LACY• V. TOOL. This case wax tried two days ago. The plaintiff was a dramatic author, and he sued Mr. Toole. the celebrated actor, to recover six 40s. penalties in consequence of the defendant having represented the plaintiff's drama Doing for tla /list without his license. At the trial the verdict was for the defendant. Mr. Brandt now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, and said that the question was whether a letter written by the plaintiff amounted to an assignment to Mr. Itryilon of his right to license persona to iierform his piece. The plaintiff's letter said that he accepted Mr. BrydOn's offer as to cancelling a debt due from the plain tiff for rent, viz., " to let you have my drama Doing Pr the B<4, in disciurge of 101., and to let you have a little piece in • couple of months in di-charge of the rest." The plaintiff's evidence was that he intended by this docu ment only to give Mr. Brydon the right to represent the piece at the Cabinet Theatre, of which he was the pso prietor, and not to give him the absolute copyright of re presentation. His lortb,hit., however. expressed his opinion that this was an abse.ute assignment of the coi s o i ai r t of representing the piece, and the jury expressed aopinion. Mr. Justice Keating asked if the statute contained any provision in reference to such assignments. Mr. Brandt—No, it said that the copyright in a printed book should be assigned in a certain way but nothing was said about the mode of assigning the right of representation of a drama. He, however, submitted that an incorporeal right like this could only be assigned by deed, or= the way in which other copyrights were as signed by writing, attested by two witnesses, or by writing registered at Stationers'-hall. The Dramaticeopyright Act, however, said that no assignment of the copyright of any book shall convey a right to perform any piece or musical composition unless an entry were made of the express intention of the parties that suifferight should pass by such assignment. Mr. Justice Keating said that the point was of some im portance, and therefore there would be a rule granted. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL —JAN. 19. (Before Lord Chief Justice Bevil], Justices Wille•, Black burn, and Lush, and Mr. Baron Channell.) THE QUEEN T. EDWARD GREENLAND. The prisoner was the manager of the Leeds Banking Company at a salary of 3,000/. per annum, and at the 011 Bailey October seasons he was tried before Mr. Baron l'igott and found guilty of perjury. committed by him in an affidavit under the act to enable bankers to issue certain unstamped promissory notes and bills of exchange upon the payment of a commission in lieu of stamp duties thereon. Several points were raised by his counsel which were reserved for the consideration of this court. _ _ To-day Lord Chief Justice &will said that as be had been counsel in the case, and as no other Chief Justice could preside, it would be better that the case should stand over until next week. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JAN. 19. (More the Judge Ordinary.) TACON T. TACON. Dr. Wunbey for the petitioner, a wife who sought a divorce on the ground of bigamous adultery. She was mar ried to the respondent in 1864, but be soon afterwards deserted her and married Rosa Hopkins, his second mar riage being solemnized in the name of Latham, and the fact coining to Rosa Holrpins' knowledge she insistedon the ceremony being repeated, so that the bigamy was twice committed.

She wasexcessively addicted to flirt►tion, and gave her husband considerable trouble by her conduct. While he wasabeent on a journey to Japridiahe behaved in such& iniumer that her brother-in-law, at whose house she was living, found it necessary to complain to the petitioner on his return, and he resolved to send her home. She then con. teased that she bud been guilty of adultery with the co respondent, who shoo admitted his guilt. Loarciro was now in prison for defrauding his employers. Decree nisi with costs. FALL O.

Theie was a cross summons against the conductor for assaulting the colonel. John Aldred said on the 6th inst he stopped his omnibus to allow • lady to alight. The lady was in the act of alighting when the defendant pushed the door of the omnibus violently. He told defendant that was a very dangerous thing to do, as he might have injured the lady. The defendant replied, " push you." He went after the defendant to ask for his address. The defendant said, " 171 see you first." He told the defendant he should detain him until a constable came up and got his address. Some gentlemen interfered, and the defendant gave his card, saying that the conductor had no business to stop on the crossing. Mr. Knox asked if he stopped on the crossing. The conductor, in reply, said he stopped only just suf ficient for the lady to step on it. He could not draw up to the kerb, owing to the snow. The door might have been a few inches over the cros sing, but there was sufficient room left for the defendant to pass without pushing the door. It was after he told the defendant that he might hare injured the lady by closing the door that the defendant struck him. He placed his hands on the defendant to prevent him from going away. Mr. Passmore Saddler, No. sa, Conduit-mews, West bourne-grove. a pas anger on the omnibus, corroborated the evidence of the conductor, and added that after the plaintiff was struck he observed his eye was red and swollen. The defendant was very much excited. He did not hear the conductor wake use of any bad language, although the defendant did. He (witness) gave his ad dress to the conductor at the time. This being the conductor's case, the cross summons was called on. Lieutenant-Colonel Stepney was sworn. He said that passing North Audley-street, and about to go over a nar row crossing, defendant stopped his omnibus right on the creasing, compelling every one who wanted to cross to go ankle deep in the snow. The conductor opened the omnibus door, so that no person passing could help getting into the snow. He placed his hand gently on the door in order to get by, and then the defendant opened the door again in such a manner as to come in contact with him, and said, " How dare you 110 that r and placed his hand upon him. When he got by the omnibus the conductor followed him in a menacing man ner, telling him he did not care a —for him, and that he was no gentleman. He then struck the conductor, and he was now ready to submit to the judgment of the magis trate. He considered the conductor's conduct was not called for ; there was no lady getting out, and there was no one in the omnibus who could see what passed between the conductor and himself. Mr. Knox went carefully over the evidence on both aids, and said he could come to no other conclusion than that Lieut. -Colonel Stepney must have been very much annoyed at the time. He saw no reason to doubt the conductor's statement, confirmed as it was by a witness, who had given his evidence very clearly. Lieutenant-Colonel Stepney himself had admitted he struck the conductor, and, regard being had to bis rank And social position. he must indict upon him the fine of 4/. 18s. and 2s. coats.

TO THE EIHTOR OF THE EXPRESS. SIR,—I have been requested by the members of the committee of this association to say that, after having resolved to assist as far as they had means in alleviating the distress so long existing from defective employment on the Thames, they were astonished at a statement of Mr. Ford, the manager of the Thames Ironworks Com. limy, in the Express of Friday. Mr. Ford says that, to avoid the discharge of their workmen now employed, they proposed to execute work without profit in the ex isting pressure, expecting that their men would have ac cepted a reduction of lid. per day on their wages. He adds, however, that the men declined, and quotes a reply from the shipwrights. We have inquired into the facts, and find that the shipwrights do not number more than Ii per cent. (or per 1,000) of the men engaged in building iron steamers, the work referred to by Mr. Forde. The other men, or 910 per 1,000, did not, we understand, make any objection to the proposal. Farther, the shipwrights, although unwilling to alter the agree ment respecting day wages, were perfectly willing to take the work by contract at 10 per cent. under the common contract price. which is one-half lower than the lid. per day of reduction required by the Thames Shipbuilding Company. We trust that this explanation, which we believe to be perfectly accurate, will be satisfactory, not merely to our own members, but all who are willing in the existing emergency to assist in relieving that temble distress in the east of the metropolis, obviously es iginating in the financial panic of last summer, the great reduction iu freights, and consequent indisposition of shipowners to enlarge the number of their ships.—l GEORGE TROUP. London Working dlen's Association, 10, Bolt court, Fleet-street, E.C., Jan. 19. BEAcHINt: OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—The big ship was, on Saturday, placed on the gridiron at New Ferry, just above Liverpool, on the Cheshire side of the river. The gridiron, on which the ship now rests, was con structed about three years ego, when the vessel was first overhauled in the Mersey, but has since been altered, strengthened, and very much improved. There was a very high spring tide, and although the ship was drawing 18 feet d. inches of water on an even keel, there was quite sufficient depth on the shore to render the operation of beaching a safe one. She lies broadside on the grid running parallel with the river. About 9 o'clock a.m. all was in readiness, and the ship left her moorings. Sir James Anderson, the commander of the big ship, attended to the navigation, while Mr. Brereton, the successor to Mr. Brunel, and Mr. Yockney, carefully watched the engineering department. Four steanhtugs (two on each side the Great Eastern) usisied to keep the vessel in position, as with scarcely perceptible motion she neared the beach. The screw engines only of the big ship were worked. The screw boilers have been taken out of the ship, and are to be re placed by new ones, and the screw engines were conse quently worked from the paddle boilers. The big ship took the grid about ten o'clock. She was placed with great nicety in the exact position fixed upon. Every thing passed off without the slightest accident, and the beaching may be said to have been accomplished in the moat skilful and successful manner. The Great Eastern is kept in position by two massive dolphins. Although her sides and bottom are rather dirty, the lines, bolts, and rivets appear in excellent order. The gridiron is perfectly flat for 60 feet wide, and the big ship rests in perfect secu rity upon it. Every precaution has been taken to prevent accident. Thousands of men are at present engaged on the ship, and she will be ready at the time specified to trade between New York and Brest. Her Mat voyage after she conies off the gridiron will be from Liverpool to New York, with goods and passengers. THE STRIKE ON BOARD THE. GREAT EASTERN. At the Police-court, Liverpool, on Saturday, John Sea winhe was brought before Mr. Raffles, stipendiary magis. trate, charged with laving intimidated a fellow-workman named James Flanagan. The men are both ship carpen ters, and members of a trade society. Both men were em ployed on board of the Great Eastr-rn, and both " turned out" when the strike of carpenters, &c., employed on beard, took place. Each had received money from the society. On Thursday last the complainant encountered the defendant on one of the ferry-boats. The latter abused hint for having returned to his work on board of the Great Eastern, and threat.med to throw him into the river. This was the complainant's statement, but as it was not corroborated the magistrate declined to convict, and the prisoner was accordingly discharged. Mr. Raffles said had there been a clear case he would have inflicted the heaviest punishment inhis power. THE WEATHER IN Till ISLE OF MAN.—An incumbent in the Isle of Man writes as follows respecting the severe weather experienced there :—" We have had a ' strange and trying time here. On Sunday last we awoke to find a snow drift between the parsonage and the church from 7 to I'_ feet high, the church lark filled to the roof, and all traffic stopped. We were for the time ' excommu nicate.' To add to our comforts, the drift had penetrated the house at all points —our entrance, within doors, two feet deep. We were engaged all the forenoon getting the snow out of bed-rooms and sitting•roonts in many pail fuls. Worse than this, it had got between the slates and ceiling of the upper rooms, whence it could not be dis lodged, but came down with the thaw like great shower baths. We bad to cover the beds with water proofs, and picket ourselves downstairs for the night. I have not yet re-ascended. To make our enjoyment pee -1 feet, we have not had a crumb of bread in the house since Saturday night —a snowed-up baker bring the cause. Luckily, 1{01114.1 Hour and oatmeal in the house for cakes and porridge. Plenty of beef and mutton, but no potatoes, our any vegetable to eat therewith. A jar of excellent whisky, but as wo could not take the article neat it was not available. No water to be bad, except snow melted in a pot over the fire, so that we are reduced to the foreign (I dare say Manx) custom of ablution, in half-pints of fluid. And all this while I was suffering from an attack of my old London enemy, brought on from too long a walk."

COTTON GOODS.—lLa:veiterorEs, Jar:. 19.—The mar ket, during the few hours which warehouses have been open this morning (this being a half-holiday), has been of the same languid character described yesterday. Business was difficult enough at the depressed rates of last Tuesday, and the attempts of sellers during the last few days, con sequent on a more buoyant cotton market, to get better prices has been a check on the little business previously offering. Business has been done during the week at a ..d. per lb. advance. Some other counts and qualities of yarn have been steadier in price, but buyers are indisposed to give any better rates at the Close of the week, and the market is flat. Cloths of nearly cell descriptions arc slow of sale, and the principal sales made have been by mann facturens showing a disposition to meet the views of buyers as to prices. Shirtings, printers, domestice, twills, and jaconets are only dealt in on a retail scale. WOOLLEN.—Le ;es, JAN. 19.—The inclemency of the weather continues to have a prejudicial elect upon the transfer of goods suitable to the spring trade ; neverthe less there has been a better attendance of buyers, and a more animated appearance has characterise,' both markets.. There has been a moderate demand in the Coloured Hall for plain cloths ; some tolerably good parcels of wool. black and blue cloths have changed hands ; the inquiries for light tweeds and meltona have also shown more signs of improvement, and tl.is clans of goods has in some instance@ been transferred to a fair extent in light steel and grey mixtures. There has also been a better demand in the white market for hairnets; medium and high-priced goods have been pretty well sought after, and have met with purchasers to a moderate amount. Prices are with out any noticeable alteration in all departments. WOOL AND WORSTEU—DRADFORD, JAN. W.—As compared with the moderate business which characterised the worsted trade during the first fortnight of the new bear, there has been a subdued tone pervading every ranch of the trade during the past week, and especially since Thursday. The new orders for yarns have been ex• ceedingly few, and the transactions in wool have been chiefly to supply the wants of spinners who had not covered the contracts they had already in hand. The price of deep-grown wools, which are most in request, me still maintained with great firmness, and those sorts which are inferior in quality and in greater abundance are held with nearly the same firmness. The scarcity of wool in the market especially of lustre sorts, and the high rates de manded by growers, tend to create dearness and to pro duce an unwillingness on the part of the stapler to increase his stock. In worsted yarns there is little or no change in the home demand, bufinneb less doing for export. Many of the leading spinners are still busy, and firm in their quo tations. Business, however, could be done wherever there was a disposition to make a slight consession from the cur rent rates, though this was very seldom the case. The piece trade is almost in a state of torpor. An almost in appreciably small increase on foreign account has taken place, and rather more activity, arising from the cold wintry weather, was visible in the home warehouses. The market generally has not improved, and the dearness of the raw material serves to keep up prices. FLARDWARE.—EIRNINGH•II, Jae. 19.—The reports relative to the state of trade in this town are far from satisfactory ; in the middle of last week a few orders were given out by the factors, but this week there has been • falling off in that respect, and the reports received through the factors' travellers are by no means encouraging ; the country shopkeepers whose stocks are low abstain from making theni up, except so far as is n to meet immediate requirements ; the consequen e c c e e Tzt manu facturers in every branch arc looking very sharp after order*. In the foreign department the symptoms of re action are very slight; the merchants are keeping back orders, and will probably do so more or less until much of the indebtedness of long standing by various foreign mar kets is removed. A little more business is being done by the houses which are connected with the German trade ; that with the United asks is steady ; but with respect to the East Indian and South American business quietude still prerails.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT. —At the Clapham-r,..i station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Ext. IrsiuL staircase is lighted by a window at the font of .. below the platform, ant the top of the shaft is eIL with thick glass, level with the platform. On the of a train last evening a passenger on getting out :tem.! upon this glass and fell through to the bottom .4 shaft, a depth of 17 feet. His sudden dilapp,U4l.! caused quite a onusteniation. The railway panels ruii to the staircase window and got him out. The Arcs:. glass had not only torn his clothes, but had inflicted ts very severe gashes on his right leg, between the knee the foot. He was promptly conveyed to the house of a •1:, dical man, who bound up the wounds, expressing the Loi: that there was no glass in them, and hinting at the lsoa bility of erysipelas being induced. The sufferer was Mr. Young, of Dalston-terrace, Kingaland, and he was enabled to return home, although suffering from the shark of thr fall as well as from injuries. Not knowing the depth s: the pit he put out his bands, and bruised them against t'.e brick walls. The flooring glass, as it is called, was to doubt made brittle by the frost. THE WEATHER AT LIVERPOOL. —On Saturday morning the weather was not so severe as on the previhns d vie, but in the course of the evening it again co:amerced to freeze hard. The ice in the ponds and sheets of sea in the neighbourhood was crowded with skaters. In !la river the scene was more arctic than English looking. 1 mense sheets of floating ice rendered the river difficult f navigation from the landing stage up to Runcorn, ferry steamers had sonic difficulty in paddling their v 4 up and down the river.
