SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE LINCOLN SPRING MEETING. TO ?RE_ morroa OF THIL Liruss, Xls,—blsttera lookvery ominous just now with regard to the Linoola Spring Meeting, which, to judge by the fair amount of mamas that attended the fiat racing at Chelmsford on Tuesday and Wednesday last, would have been kindly supported by owners of horses but for the inter ference of Mr. Frost, who in 1860 and 1861 delayed the comunooenient of operations long enough to spoil the affair in • great measure, and this year threatens it with a similar fate. Anyhow there will not be so many hones sent an last year, for the winter has riot been each as to allow them to be kept continually in work, sad most of the early 'wild meetings will suffer from this circumstance, to which may perhaps be attributed the tameness of speculation on the great handicaps. Betting was never so dal before ; and beyond Gardener, BlM:held, Dollar, and Sheridan, for the North amptonshire Stakes—Liston, Flying Fish, and Summerside for the City and Suburban —and Blackdown, Change, Anfield, Golden Pledge, Muezzin, and Accident (who has gone amen) for the Chester Cup—no hones have been backed for any amount of money. The Liverpool Steeple chase, which had such • great acceptance, seems the all engrcsaing topic among speculators, and the conkst this year promises to assist in raisiug the fallen fortunes of the sport, as extraordinary held being expected, as already Emblem, Sinking Fund, Jerusalem Me&sa, Bantam, Wee Nell, Serious Cos, Amy, Worceste r, Portland, Ira), Real Jam, Emblematic , Martha, Chester, and Leading Article, i are n the first or second rank of favourites. The late Birmingham Grand Annual did; not bring out another Emblem, as ut year, although Charnels won as easily as Lord Coventry's mare did, for she does not happen to be among the acceptors, having declined her Import. But there is a prospect of the jumping at Lincoln influencing the complexion of affairs, with Portland, Rubioou, Malta, Emblematic, Rook the Gardener (a greatly improved hone', Cadet, Miss Maria, Miss Emma, and Baron of Avon, in the Grand Steeplechase, and Sinking Fund, Rockley, Tolurno Real Jam. West End, Bares of lAvoo, Lady of the Ides: and Miss Emma in the Hurdle Race, all these being in the Grand National. There are two other jumping events at Lincoln, and seven nem on the flat, of which latter the Trial, Brockleeby, and Linoolnahire Handicap are of some importance, although I dare not touch upon the Brockleby, in consequence of its being for 2.yrokia, whose pretensions must remain dark until the saddliug bell has rung. The Trial Stakes, one mile, is a weieht-for-age race, the thres-yesr.olds being originally ordered to Tat Jib ; the fours, Bst 10lb ; the fives, t/st 51b ; sod theolder hones, 94 10lb ; with mares end geldings allowed Jib ; but what with the penalties end allowance stipulated to be taken, enly four of the seventeen candidates adhere to these im pose, and the following are the weights to be carried : Age at 113 Age st lb ! Argonaut Ferri= (French' .. 5 5 le d espV Benjamin ;French; 5 6 Guerilla Doombrook Flying Fish Ittvenaworth The Vedette gelding 4 ' 0 Mall Train 3 6 10 Biatmlnater Boatload The majority of the above are in the Lincolnshire Han dicap, wherein the two Frenchmen are in reosipt of 131 b and 271 b respectively from Argonaut, and Donnybrook, Flying Fiah, Buckland, Anglo-Saxon, Redcap, Guerilla, Dovedale, Mail Train have also to meet Benjamin on from 'Mb to 2293, and Partisan on from 161 b to Sib, worse tenni, which may deter Benjamin from showing in the TriaL Taking the Handicap as a standard, Mail Train, Rocidend Donnybrook, Flyiog Fish, and Anglo-Saxon, have the best of the weights here, and in the order named ; but from the amount of money put on Anglo-Saxon we are bound to suppose he has been treated too leniently, although I shetdd always doubt his ability to give 31b to Mail Train when W. Day's gelding is •• wanted." The latter is cer tainly the beat horse in the Trial, at the weights; and even in his absenos Anglo-Saxon night have to succumb, if the Buckland divisioo play in earnest. The Lincolnshire Handicap, over the same course ea the above. must be affianced by the! result ; but the two Frenchmen, Partisan and Benjamin, who represent separate interests, are, in my opinion, more threatening than either of the favourites, Anglo-Saxon and Suburban. It is, of course, a crest advantage to be allied with three bosses that have been backed in earnest, for they moat be "wanted," and the threatened postponement is pretty certain to pre vent the attempted bringing a of many other "good things" there may be in the race ; and at this writing it is impossible to say whither Neophyte, Donnybrook, Merry Hart, Joco, Redc.,p, and Guerilla, who so take my fancy, will take part in the fray, or I should book them to be pretty nearly on a par with Partisan, Beejarnin, Anglo- Saxon, and Suburban. As it is, Poetise]) or Benjamin may beat the two cracks, and if Partisan were in as good form as he showed at two 'cars old, I should have confidence in his ability to give the weight to his countryman. The City Handicap precedes the event under dismesion, and in that case, not knowing how many of the host entered for the two events will be reserved, prudence forbids my noticing it. The kluogarford meeting, following immediately on to the heels of Lincoln, will give the professionals some work, for it is worth attending, being in the neighbourhood of the most extensive training quarters. and has a better chance of achieving success than when held in the summer, a continuance of the frost being ell that is feared. The principal handicap, however—the Berke and Wilts Staked', two miles and a distance—is only poorly patronised, the quality of those left in being se indifferent es the quaatity, only the top and bottom weights—Costs, 5 yrs, Set 1211 s, and Signalman, 3 yrs, fist alb, with Verbena, 3 yrs, fit P.2b —having shown respectable form. Of these I have no great opinion, unless Costa is in better form than he showed last ✓ummer, for hen giving Turn of Luck tab, Land it it well known the mare can stay. Of the other events, I shall only notice the trial, which is at the mercy of Lord Bur leigh, who has but to beat Mr. Parr's colours.—l am, &e., METEOR. LONDON BETTING.—SArraDAY.

A short time ago she end. daily dimppeared from the house where she bad been milling, and nothing was heard of her for some days, but at length her guardian received &letter from a Mr. Wellings, residing in the neighbourhood, sod who, it I. 11 1 ia 1 V,.. 1738 yams se, alleging that he had married her that °XI:Tin a t utramus- aae be ing brought guardt a th a e g re u npon n filed th arose is to the validity of the marriage, and whether the suit had been properly framed.

Mr. Kanlake, for the defence, elated that be should be able to prove shat the petitioner bad himself been guilty of adultery, cruelty, and desertion ; but the learned gentle. mar bad made very little progress when the court role. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL._ :ego e Bayfield, a man about 45 years of age. was before Alderman Hale with obtaining a bill of ex. change for 1501. with intent to defraud the prosecutor. Mr. John Pullen, a solicitor, of No. 1, the Cloisters, in the Temple, stated that the prisoner was an entire stranger to him until the early part of December last, when be was introduced to him by Mr. Arundel, who was in the habit of discounting bills for his (prosecutor's) client& On that occasion he required a bill for 300/. discounted for a client, and the prisoner was introduced me a person able to moist Mr. Arundel in getting the money. Several interviews took place with Mr. Arundel, but in the interim the 3001. bill wee withdrawn by witness's client, and, in order that Mr. Arundel should not be altogether disappointed, witness offered him another bill for 150/. to discount. He said he would oonaider if be could so apply part of the money be bad engaged for the 3001. bill, and he and the pri soner then left. The prisoner subsequently called on wit ness, and represented himself as Mr. Arundel's agent, and obtained of witness the 130/. bill for the purpose of getting it discounted. This was about the latter end of January ; and although be had seen the prisoner since several times, he had not been able to get the money or the bill back. He went to see the prisoner at his private ho but found he had given a fan adder. Mr. Arundel repudiated hay ing had anything to do in discounting the 1501. bat or that he had ever authorised the prisoner to act as his agent in say way to get possession it Mr. A. C. Living stated that he discounted a bill for 150/, for a Mr. Dalian, on the Ist of January, but that he knew nothing of the prisoner. He had sine* got the bill discounted by Mr. Brown, a bill broker, of Church-court, Clement's-lane. That bill was drawn by Mr. James Vim and accepted by Mr. H. S. Pileber. Mr. Vizetelli Idepceed that he bad drawn no other bill for 150/. on the date of the bill in question, and upon this evidence the prisoner was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP.STREET. Mr. Cooke gave his decision on Saturday morning in a came of considerable public importance. which was argued a fortnight ago. The question was as to the right of persons to compensation for injury done to their trade by the works of the Metropolitan Board of W.or_ks. Mr. Pyle stated that be carried on business at Nos. 11, 12, and 13, Willow-walk, and employed six vans to do it. In September, 1862, the main drainage works were being executed in Willow-walk, and for two whole months the roadway was open in front of his premium. His vane could not be brought up to the plus, and so blocked up wee he that he was obliged to take another building, in a court at the back of his premises. He had to hire this place for eight weeks, at an expense of 1/. 10s., and had to cut a doorway in the wall to afford communication between the two buildings, for which be had to pay 24 9s. more, and then had afterwards to reinstate the wan as he found tt, at the lose of another 14 10a. Even then he suffered great inconvenience, as his goods had to be carried a distance of about 200 yards. To do this extra work he had to hire three extra men, to each of whom he had to pay 18s. iler . th week for flee weeks. His basin's was much injured unng e peoples of the works and atom and in hie retail trade he lost quite 13/. in that way, profit which he would otherwise have gained. The front of his premier, too, were injured by th e carrying out of theme works, which had afterwards to be repaired, and for expense under that head he claimed 54 The first day on which be could get his vans in wee the Bth of October, 1862. His premises were much damaged by the works, and all the board had offered him wee Mr. Cooke said the first question was whether the com plainant had not allowed the time to elapse during which his oompleint might be legally enforoed. He was of opinion that the objectioa raised by theßoard of Works mast prevail, ad the period allowed by the statute for appealing had Worsen* to the time of the accrual of the cause of action or maid of claim or demand. The six months, therefore, began to ran from the time when the complainant was actually injured by the acts of the Board of Works, and not from the time they refused to make compensation. Subject (said his wor ship) to this objection, I am of opinion that the complainant is entitled to recover for the full amount of his claim. It is not contended by the Board of Web that he is sot entitled to recover for the actual damage done to the build ing —indeed, they have offered him compensation for that —but the Board of Works contend that the complainant is not entitled to recover for loss of profits of business. Now, I think that the loss of the profits of trade is a proper subject of compensation, and I am of opinion that, but for the saccusful objection taken by the Board of Works—that the complaint is too late in has application to this court— he would be entitled to the full amount of his claim. _ _ ILAR_LB9HOUGH-STREET. Robert Henri/ Banleky, assistant in the employ of Mean. Marshall and &selves°, silk mercers, Oxfoolatreet, was charged with stealing a large quantity of silk, of the yaw of 40W., the property of his employers. Mr. Lewis, jug. prosecuted, and Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-strait, defended. ._., It appears that the premier took • rem at 51, King. street, Regent.street, when he was in the habit of leaving silk on his way to and from the City. Information wag then given to Inspector Draper, sod be snoeseisd in taking the prisoner into malady lied recovering property of the value of 400/. The prieoner, who has only been in Masers. Marshall and Saelgroves employ ten months, was remanded. Mr. Marshall asked whether the silk might be given np to him, bat Mr. Koox said he could make no order as prswent. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—The village of liirwaio, Glamerganabirr, was on Saturday thrown into • 'tete of excitement in consequence of its becoming known that an engineer named Evan Williams had murdered his wife by pkiing her whilst 'sleep. and lied afterwards put a to his own existence by hanging himself from an iron ooin the ceiling of the kitchen of his dwelling house. The first alarm was given by a little girl, • daughter of the deceased couple, who ran out of the house screaming, sod in acidic', horror, and who, on being interrogated, said that her father sod mother were both dead. The neighbours at first hoped that she was suffering from some childish fear, but on entering the house they found the man hiuiging by the neck as already described, from the ceiling of his kitchen. They cut down the body as speedup as possible, and found it still warm, but the vital spark had iled. They then weld upstairs, where the wife was found in bed and ap parently asleep. There ware no indications of any struggle having m en place but the poor woman was quite dead, and on body being examiovd it was found that she had been stringled, apparently iu her sleep, by means of • cravat whlch was found drawn 60 tightly round her throat as to be to ea extent embedded in the Bash. In her case also the body was not quite cold. It has been ascertained that the murderer and his victim retired to bed as usual on the Friday night, and there can be no doubt that be got up at an early hour, and hay*, first despatched hie wife in the manner indicated, went into the garden, cut down a part of • clothes line, and hanged himself with it. What motive led to the perpetration of the double crime has not been ascertained, but it is mid that Williams, who was not forty years old, has been in bad health and has suffered in his spirits, so that lunacy may probably have led to the fearful ingedy. Information of the sad event was at once sent to the coroner with a view to an inquest on the bodies.

PISCICULTURE. The Acclimatisation Society of Groat Britain having recently apportioned a sum from their funds to make an experiment in pisciculture on a wile sufticiently large to lest the practicability of 'applying on and young fry for stocking riven and lakes, the first results of this undertaking were shown on Saturday by Mr. Francis, • member of the Council, to whom .has been entrusted the direction of the whole subject of pisciculture. This gentle man, who is the author of a manual upon the subject, and a distinguished observer of the habits and natural history of fishes, has completely devoted bin epergne to the task by settling on the banks of the Thames at Twickenham, near to the spot where the river Cola joins it. The place was of course purposely selected for its convenient and central po sition, and for the purity of the water of the river Cola, which river is now, we believe, for some distance preserved by Mr. Francis. The stream has been diverted at one point as as to form • breeding " stew " by placing gratings at the upper and lower junction, where the spawn can be properly protectedifrom voracious pike, se wall as from the gluttons of the trout and minion kind, who are, it appears, most undoubtedly piscine cannibals, in embryo at least. The proems of pisciculture which goes on here is similar to that which has for some years been prac tised at the great oilmen fisheries of the Duke of Sutherland and other proprietors in Scotland ; the experiment which Mr. Francis has now very successfully performed is the arti6. eial hatching of ova which have been impregnated in the spawning plane and vivified up to • certain stage, and the nursing of the thousands of helpless little tadpolean objects On' cumbered with a bag of food as big as their tiny bodies, which is to last them till they get • mouth and can feed themselves. The artificial process is, of course, an imitation of the natural one which goes on in the beds of rivers, but with some modifications arising out of the necessity for doing certain things which the stream does—as in removing the newly hatched fish from the eggs, or taking away an unde veloped egg, which would otherwise decay and interfere with the 'unitary arrangement of the colony. Mr. Francis has built a thatched shed in the corner of his garden, in which is mounted the water teak—the lake, which is to become • river as it flows away down a series of troughs arranged at each aide on steps by means of little junction tubes, which give the Deanery current from one end of the trough to the other. These troughs are of stout earthenware, about two feet loogifrid four inches deep, with • woods* inner trough, across which is • shelf formed of small tubes of glass bearing the ova, which look like small peese of red dish oolour, all fallen in • regular rank and file along the furrows formed by the glass rods. This is a most simple and ingenious way of getting the eggs into order, so ea to count them, and to pick out a bad one with the little instrument like a miniature dumpling skimmer. The addled egg turns white and opaque, and is thus easily seen to be • defaulter in the ranks. Mr. Buckland employs the more natural means of beds of gravel for the eggs to lie on ; but it appears that the gleam plan basin many respects great advantages. There is leas risk of injury in handling the eggs. They ere readily counted, which is of importance when they are to be sold at so much per thousand, and, above all, the fish, ea they come up, find their way between the glass rods into the lower part of the trough, and may be transferred into • separate trough with gravel in it. The water having supplied the troughs falls into open tanks in the door, which is bricked over, where the fry Sr. kept separate according to their species. There an now about 90,000 ova and &Levkas in process of develop ment ; salmon, 6,500 ; salmon trout, 5,000 ; common trout, 67,000; great lake trout, 7,500; clam 4,000. The hatch ing was commenced on the 24th December last, and since then about 136,000 have been placed in the troughs ; of these more than 40,000 have been seat vivified to members of the Society, at a charge of 2/. 10e. for ova and 30 per met. ad ditional if sent out in the more adverted condition of young fry. About 5,000 or 6,000 have, it is considered, died in the process. The Society has received the most I valuable aid in obtaining ova from the establishment founded by the French government at Huedigue, nest Strasbourg, which is under the immediate superintendeuceof M. Coumes, engineer-in-chief of works on the Rhine, and was the result I of those researches and experiments of M. Costa, which have attracted so much interest. This establishment supplies , the rivers of France, and there arrived on Saturday morning • box full of 0111 for our Acclimatisatiors Society, the eggs being packed in wide mouthed bottles with damp mom. For an account or this French establishment we should refer to the Illustrated News of last week. The Imperial government have granted • sum of 4,0001. for buildings and 2,0001. per annum for expenses ; au example of dealing with an important question of food and employment far more practical than our expenditure upon sets of parliament regulating salmon fishing, especially as they seem to require endless amendment, and have uncommonly little effect in cheapening the fish as an article of food. We may find out some day that even the sea about our coasts may be ex hausted of its wealth of food, as the rivers have bees by the most reckless neglect, and in many oases by per mitting them to be convened into common sewers and outlets for the poisonous dyes and chemicals of the manufacturer. The Acclimatisation Society, in libetelly voting 1201. to this experiment, ate really rendering • service which to a great extent may be called a national one, and if the success proves complete, of which there is little doubt, it would be most desirable that all rivers should be provided with the apparatus for thus protecting and increasing the breeding of fish. There is probably nothing to be expected in the ahape of • grant from government, though grants are made every day for lea feasible undertakings. The only hope is that this society of country gentlemen and other.' in terested as naturalists or fishermen may nourish, and be able to carry out pisciculture as completely as it has for some years been practised in Francs, when not oely river fish are bred in great profusion, but several kinds 1 of sea rich are supplied and added to the comma, stock of the ocean. It should be understood that pisciculture is so longer the curious experiment it was 100 years ago, when Lieutenant Jacobi described his seams in hatching ova ; it has grown into • real importance little dreamt of Ly Joseph lUmy, the Vosges peasant, who gave the hint to M. le Pro fessor Caste, and it is now proved to be practicable to any extent; aid as affording • prolificanurce of wholesome and nutritious food when beef and mutton are becoming scarcer and dearer every year, it is especially deserving attention as a matter of public welfare. THE EARLY CLOSING MOVIENECT IN MI BOROCG H. —The large retail establishment of Masers. W. Tarn and Co.. the well.known linendrapem, of Newington•canseway, which employs about 300 bands in its several departments, and has long been eminent for the practice of early closing, was the scene of a lecture, on Friday evening kit, by the Rev. James McConnell Hussey, in (*merlon with the Early Closing Aseociatioo. The company assembled in the spumoni carpet.room of the building, which had been taste fully decorated with illustrations of the lecturer's theme, and mottoes hailing the work of the Early Closing Asso ciation. Mr. W. Tarn having taken the chair, the rev. lec turer proceeded to speak on the subject of " Rome." to an audience numbering about 500, including many members of the leading City firms, and a large proportion of ladies. In the course of the complimentary 'Admire which followed the lecture, Mr. Tarn's co-operation with the movement which led to such a mantle( was gratefully acknowledged on behalf of the employes.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. The report of the directors to the half-yearly meet ing on W edne sday next Mates that they have arranged all mat tees in difference with the Great Western Railway Company. The settlement of the accounts for the working of the line has been concluded on the basis of this company receiving 57i per cent. al the gives receipts, allowing the Great Western Company 42i par amt. for their working expenses. The effect of this arrangement is to reduce the balance carried from last half-year's account by the sum of 1,5411. 10a 6d., which has aocordingly hien written off on the other side of the account. The net receipts from traffic during the half-year up to the 10th August, payable by the Great Western Company under the above arrangement, amounted to 6,7871. I.s. 2d., and for the four months and twenty-me days during which the line has been worked by this coat patty to 20,6534 14s. id. These amounts, with the receipts from rests, interest, and transfer fees, will (after deducting all expellees chargeable during the half-year against revenue and the payment of debenture interest) leave 29,1451. 9s. Bd. available for division amongst the shareholders. The directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of S per oent. per annum upon the preference stock, and at the same rate upon the ordinary stock, carrying forward to the credit of next half-year the sum of 1,3124 3s. The directors have resolved on constructing the extension to Finsbury with four liners of rails throughout, and sufficient land is being purchased for that purpose. The directors have reason to believe that some of the pro prieton have mnapprehended the policy of the board upon the question of extensions, and they therefore think it right to state fully their views upon the subject, and the mea sures they have taken. The select committee of the House of Lords which sat last year, having in their able sad elabo. rate report upon metropolitan railway communication dis tinctly recommended that the railway of the company should be extended from each of its termini, and should form part of the comprehensive system of communication they CODal dered would be necessary for the public accommodation, the Idirectors deemed it their duty to place the company in • , condition to secure the full benefit of the advantageous ',coition in which it wee thus placed. They have I accordingly submitted for the consideration of parliame - ni two extensions, one from Paddington through Bayswater and Kensingtoo to Brampton, which ' will for its entire length traverse • district peculiarly rich in metropolitan traffic and at the same time enable the company to obtain land yet %inbuilt upon for the workshops and carriage depots necessary for the ecosomical and efficient I working of the lies. The other extension from Fiosbury towards the docks will secure to this compare the command of the traffic of the busy and crowded t' ' of the eastern portions of the City. Both these projects, however, are proposed to be constructed by means of separate capitals, I entirely distinct from the present authoriesd capital of the company, nod to depend for their return exclusively on their own earnings. Arrangements have been made with a view to secure the shareholders from payment of any portion of the oats in the event of the failure of either or both of them bills, whilst, at the same time, the option will be reserved to them of subscribing for the new capitals when created. These are the only extensions promoted by the company bat in connexion with this subject, the directors beg to call the attention of the proprietors to the great measure for ac commodating other portions of the metropolis, introduced to the notion of parliament under the title of "The Metro politan District Railways," by their engineer, Mr. Fowler. This comprehensive project is promoted by powerful parties, equal to the occasion, and when carried out cannot fail to enhance the utility and value of your undertaking. The only other bill which the directors have introduced will give this company power to accommodate the traffic of the Midland Railway, to improve the communication with the Great Northern Railway, and to create the capital required for rolling stock, workshops, he. The attention of the board will be given to the various measures before parliament which may affect the interests of the peoprieten. The diree tors propose to take the sanction of the proprietors for the ex ercise of the honoring powers authorised by the acts of Ig6l. Notwithstanding the very exceptional circumstances under which the traffic ham as yet been carried, and the limited accommodation the company have been enabled to afford to the public, upwanls of 4,631.000 pasesogers have bee. conveyed over the railway during the past six months; nevertheless the director' cannot conclude without ex pressing their opinion that the traffic of the last year very inadequately represents that which may be expected in future. From the opening of the line there has never beau • sufficient plant to work it adequately, and Moos the abandonment of the working by the Great Western Company the supply of plant has been so limited as to leave no reserve, and consequently no power to augment the acoomnsodatioa so much required. The directors are looking anxiously for the ar rival of the period when this state of things shall terminate, in the conviction that when the line is extended to Mairmitwereet, and the necemery plant fins been provided, the earnings will be much larger, and the dividend consequently more satis factory to the shareboiden. DETFATION OF DANGEROUS LAMP OIL& —At the meeting of the Association of Medical Moen of Heath, held on Saturday last at the Scottish Corporatioa.hall, a paper was read on the recent petroleum accidents, and on the ready detection of dangerous lamp oils. It was shown that these accidents had invariably resulted from the em ployment of oils capable of being ignited at a very low tem perature, in many oases even below the standard of the Pe troleum Act ; one very severe accident being traced to the employment of an oil giving off inflammable vapour atatem perature below the freezing point of water. The author of the paper, Mr. Teptensier exhibited • very easy and wee • mode of detecting dai:geroa• oils. Two teacupfuls of boiling water and one of cold water (at the ordinary temperature of a sitting-room) were mixed together tn a small basin ; a cupful of the water was then taken and • teaspooeful of the oil to be tried poured on its surface • in a few woods a light was applied to the oil. Tbi: dangerous oils, those capable of igniting below I% degrees, Immediately took fin; whereas it was shown to be im poesible to ignite those that were of • safe and non-ex *sive character. In the conversation that ensued, Dn. Letheby, Lankeeter, arid It. I). Thomson took part, and the desirability of raising the standard of the Petroleum Act from 100 to 1`25 degrees wee discussed ; many secideata, some of a fatal character, baring arisen from the employ ment of oils having a higher inflaming point than 100 deem Fahrenheit. ENCOUNTER WITH A BADGER.—During the pant week we have been shown a very fine full-grown specimen of the European badger (Melts tarts), which has been pre. served by Mr. Gen, of Tiverton, in • most natural and life-like attitude. The animal wee captured on the 2nd lost. by Thomas Warren, • youngi roan in the employ of Mr. Walter Marley, in whose palmation it still remains. As he and his master were driving horns on the day above men tiooed and had proceeded aliout half way up the New-road, they observed the badger MSS over in front of them, dragging after him a vermin trap which appeared to incon venience him but little. The young man leapt immediately from the cart sod gave chase, and the animal Boding him self pursued quickened bin palm and led through a plantation thickly overgrown with underwood, and almost inscomeible to his pursuer; the trap, which had only caught two of his long and powerful fore claws, was hare discarded, being considered undoubtedly a welts' encumbrance • the hunter continued hotly in pursuit armed with a S panish clmp knife. At With the animal, after • run of more than a mile, received a alight wound in the back, upon which he instantly stood at bay and appeared much irritated, utter , ing at the same time a succession of grunts resembling eomewbat those of a pie. Keenly eyeing his assailant, he made a spring at him but wee heroically repulsed ; this be repented several times with the same moult; at last, infu riated by the wounds he had received, be made a desperate spring, and the young man miming his aim had his vest torn open; before the animal could repeat his attempt he received a stab on the back of the neck, which penetrated the cer vical vertebra, and placed him hors de wombat. Kis gallant captor bore him in triumph from the seen* of the 000fhet, and he was found to weigh 281ba.—Tisertors Garette. Besides an unusual influx of Northern and Western drafters, a vast number of Southern refugees are in New York awaiting the cooolusion of the war. Al together it is estimated that there are at least one hundred theemand straws» temporarily residing in that city.— America* paper. MARKET& TALLOW.-1313171x aY EVILNING. The market w steady to.day.

Pea 20. —This mar ket has been rather seriously affected this week by the large arrival of cotton (42,000 bales), and advice. to the effect that heavy shipments had been made at Bombay. The estimated quantity of cotton at sea from India is now 322.000 bales. On Tuesday a good business wee done, daily in yarns, at the full prices of last week, bat yesterday and to day prices are decidedly weaker, and may be quoted about ed. per lb. lower. There seems to be a strong feeling that the raw material wffl come down in prim sr the year ad winces, and Egyptian declined this week id., and Surata Id. per lb. Cloth is rather scarce in stock, and sales are re markably firm for immediate deliveries, but we hear of con- Crania taken for delivery in April and May at lower prices. WOOLLEN.—Lane, FEB. 20,—The renewal of cold weather operates as a check upon the spring trade, and oar markets this morning were only of a quiet character. A few raeltons, chiefly low qualities, and tweeds, changed hands, but the demand for plain goods was inconsiderable. The White Hall was eery quiet. Rates remain firm. HARDWARE.—lllawumithx, Fen. 20.—The trade of this town continues in • satisfactory state. In some few branches the orders coming in are moderate, but such is not the awe in any of the most important trades. In the foreign department boatmen is quiet: to the north of Europe there is very little doing, and all who are engaged in the German tradeconcur in representing business as unusually dull to that quarter. Timm are orders in on account of the Levant trade • also for Spain. Up to this time there has besn.very littl e doing on account;offthe Canadinnyspringtrade, and with the West Indies business continues depressed. The Australian trade is tolerably good, and orders have just been given out on account of some of the Eastern markets. With reference to particular trades, the edge-tool makers, hollow ware man acturers, and tin-plate workers are pretty well off for orders ; for the elms of goods last-named there are some good contract orders in. The electro-platers are tolerably well e and the wiredrawer' and wire-workers are in couch same position. Upon the whole the trade of this town la in as prosperous • condition as can at any time be expected. The iron trade in this district is undonbtedbly quieter ; dur ing the last two or three weeks comparatively few orders have been offered ; COOSILMetI and shippers are holding back as much as north's in order to get so ides as to the prospect of the present scale of prices being main tained. Up to this time, however, there has been nothing to lead to the supposition that such will not be the CYO for the next two or three months at lest, all the works having amply sufscient orders to keep them in full operation. In the adjoining district trade routinize. in • healthy state, the only his &robing cause is the continued movements by the men in various departments of labour for an advance in the wages scale. Lately the spade and shovel makers have been agitating that question, but at • meeting of the employers in this town on Thuredei it was resolved that no advance on should be made t list price. The colliers whose wages were recently advanced are now threatening notices for • further rise of 3d. per day. This kind of agitation has • bed effect on the teed* of the district generally.
