DRAMA. sr. JAMES'S. A alight comedy-farce in two acts, which doubt- Ism owes its origin to some French source, but which has been amusingly done into English by Mr. Maddisou Mor ton, was produced at this house last tight under the title of Woodcock's Little Game. The plot, as rendered by the adapter, has hardly sufficient weight to sustain two acts, but the situations are diverting, the ilialogue in as light as the morality of the piece, lad the acting—chiefly in the hands of Mr. Charles Mathews and Mrs. Frank Matthews—leaves nothing to be desired. There are several complications in the story, slight as it is, which it would only be wearisome to recount, and we may describe the plot as turning upon the good old, well-used, mother-in-law pivot- Mr. Woodcock is a middle-aged buck, who has been some what gay in his youth, and who marries a young wife to settle down in peace and quietness. This laudable de sign is frustrated, for • time by the dominant will of his mother-in-law, whose passion for excitement has not been satisfied in early life, and by the machinations of another lady friend, whose only object sp. pears to be to taus him. After he has put himself in • position in which he is able to lead his mother-in-law to believe that nothing but a country life will save him from becoming a gay man-about-town, he is allowed to have his own way, and to retire to a pastoral retreat. Mr. Charles Mathews is fitted with a character in this piece similar to many which he tuts performed before—a character in which many of the most admirable end solid qualities of his acting are called into play. He moves amongst the various personages of the farce ea a man occasionally bewildered, but yet retaining • vast amount of 'elf-pones sift, and, as usual, in the most delightful and easy manner possible, be takes the whole audience into his coafidence. His " asides' and bye-play are as inimitable as ever, and his face shows • perfect command of expression. Mrs. Frank Matthews, as the mother-in-law, has equalled (she could hardly surpass) all her former efforts in an embodiment of this nature. No one now on the stage can give such • forcible realisation of • full-blooded, gushing, strong-minded, weak-minded female as Mrs. Matthews, and her performance last night carried us beck to those old Lyceum days when she so often appeared in such characters. The little piece was well sustained in its minor puts by Mr. H. J. Montague, Mr. Johustoue, Mr. Chamberlain, Miss Wentworth, and Miss Fanny Hill— the last lady making her first appearance at this theatre. Mr. Montague will soon become one of our most gentlemanly and effective representatives' of young met, and Miss Went worth shows a marked improvement in her acting. The piece was successful. Mr. Elketchley's excellent comedy, How will they get out of it 1 still retains its photo in the bills, and is one of those productions—unhappily too few—which can be seen several times without creating wearinees.

THE SOUTH ST4 PPORDSHIRI COLLIERS' STRIKE. BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 6. To-day a conference took place in this town between Lord Leigh, the lord-lieutenant of the county, and some 25 to 30 of the coal-marten, on the subject of the colliers' strike. This was held at the Hen and Chickens Hotel at noon, and lasted more than an hour. Lord Leigh was accompa nied by Colonel Mason, of the volunteers, and amongst the principal coal-masters present were Mr. William Mathews, Mr. John Harder-, Mr. William Barrows, Am Lord Leigh's attention has been in various ways directed to the strike ; amongst other, from the circumstance of the district affected being so closely contiguous to this town, and from the fact of its having been deemed necessary to guard the Mores deposited at Bingley hall, belonging to the volunteer corps. Impressed with the desirability of putting an end to the strike if pos m-ble, Lord Leigh went to Dudley on y, sad had an interview alai sonic of the delegate' of the men • also with Mr. Frederic Smith, of the Priory Lord Dudley's manager • and yesterday (Wedneeday) his lordship had a further eerie, with the men in this town, at which the circumstances oaenected with the strike were fully dis cussed. At twelve o'clock to-day his lordship met the coal masters, as above stated, a dozen of the colliers' delegates being in waiting. Lord Leigh addressed the meeting at some length and with much earnestness of manner. He urged strongly the privations which so many . thousands of the men and their fao.dies are enduring, besought the employers to have regard to the station of the meu as well as the adore of their employment, and begged that a point might be conceded which would be the means of putting a Mop to the calamitous state of things now skisting in South StaffordsLire. Finally, his lordship proposed that the men should have the opportu nity of returning to their work for a fortnight at der. 6d. par day, on the uoderstandieg that at the expiration of that time the Cd. per day extra. making Ss, should be granted. A long discussion followed ; the result of it was that although all present admitted the desirability of the strike being broujlit to a termination there was an DDIDDDOWS feeling against the proposition m ade by Lord Leigh. It was de clared to he impossible to accept it, with due regard to the interests of dears& ; or io fact to make any concession what ever, it being held that to yield to the men in this matter would be to open the dew to fresh demands on their part, the end of which could not be foresees. The result was that Lord Leigh's well-iotentioned mediation failed; indeed, in the attitude in which the masters hays placed them selves, nothing else could have been expected. It was stated in the course of the meeting that the strike will soon be over. This morning the men have 'Tallied their willingness to return to work in various parts of the dia. %riot. It is only the well-paid delegates who advocate any other cuntse. THE EXPLOSH.N AT ERITH.—FENEALL OP THZ VlCTlMS.—Yesterday afternoon the remains of George Rayner, Thomas Hubbard, and John Yorke. who were killed by the frightful explosion at Erith on Saturday last, were removed from the Belvedere Terern, and interred at the pariah churchyard, Erith. The funeral procession was attended by several mounted police-constables and a con siderable number persons, and the arrangements were carried out by Mr. Mason, of Plumetead. It has been suggested to commence a subscription to raise a fund for the purpose of affording tome remuneration to the soldiers at Woolwich, through whose exertioes so inundation of the river was prevented, and many of whom base their clothing almost entirely destroyed and rendered useless. THE FATAL EXPLOSION IN BETHX•L GREM-- An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys, coroner, last even ing, at the Lord Nelson tavern, Bethnal-greet', respecting the death of Mr. James Morrie, aged 34 years, who was killed by an ex plordoe. The catas trophe occurred at M LeitchfOrd's match manufactory in Three Colt-lane, Beth nal-green, where upwards of MO hands are employed. Mr. Robert Leitchford said that the deceased was a chemist. and was manager to the 6rm. On Monday he employed Walsall is the mixing room in amalgamating chloride of potash sad oxide of antimony, together with powdereti glass and Venetian red. The deceased did that himself in order to preserve the secret of the exact proportions of the chemicals used in making a particular description of match. In the mixteg, which wee performed in a tie vessel and with a tin scoop, the chloride of pots & exploded, so doubt from the friction. The explosion blew the glass out of the windows, and burnt some of the woodwork. The deceased was fearfully injured about the face and hand., and be died OS Wedneodav morning. When the workmen, alarmed by the explosion'and • cry of " Fire," ran to the mixing roe m ; they found the unfortunate deceased plunging about frail ties Iv in • Ram of flame. The jury retuned a verdict of "Accidental death." ACCIDENT ON THE STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY. —nu Wedoeedsy, at DOOD, SO accident occurred to a train of laden coal waggons, about five miles east of Dar lington. A train, consisting of upwards of eighty cluddron waggons, was on ita way to the Middlesborough district, and when near Fighting Cocks the wheel of the first i broke, musing the other wag gons t o l ea p u p on one a = and rash down an embankment of considerable height with terrible impetus. The adjoining fields for a great distance around were instantly strewn with coal, coke, broken wheel., and the shattered waggons, upwards of seventy of which are now utterly useless. Both lines wen blocked up for more than two hours. The telegraph was also broken. The passergers in the Min which wee due at the place of the accident about four or five minutes alter is occurred, instead of arriving at Darlington at 12.35—tbe appointed time—did not get there till 2.ZiO, they having to change into a special sent from Darlington. A strong force of workmen were soon on the spot clearing away the wreck, sod the traffic is now being worked on the up line of rails for about two milea—a not easy matter, the trill& being so immense. An estimate of the delay to the replier working of the trains may he form e d when we state that not long after the accident happened nearly 1 twenty trains were standing on the down and a large number oe the up. The kat is tins will a large item. —Newcastle Chronicle. MT: EXPRESS, -FRIDAY EVENING,• OCTOBER 7,: 44.4. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANICRUPTCY.—Ocr. 6.

TATTERSALL'S—TawisDAY. The novelty of a Hampton Autumn Yeatinq would, it was thought, attract almost all the London ' &rum," but on arriving at Ilyde.park-oorner we found a tolerable muster. iacluding almost all who were present at the Vic toria Club in the morning. The spirit of speculation, how ever, seemed to flag, and only a few animals were entrusted with genuine coin. The Ceserewiteh was of course the chief medium, but, although the day for its decision is so near at baud, the tone of the market can hardly be mid to indicate which of the favourites commands or carries the confidence of the public. Notwithstanding the sinister reports that Mail Trail, would be " shunte d" before the day, and that another of the string would "come " with express mead, the time for his retirement does not seem to have arrived yet, for so eager were the believers in William Day's stable to " get on " this afternoon that they took 5 to 1 kindly, one bet alone being to 1001. Subsequeetly, however, those odds were obtainable. There was no other change in the list of quo tations that has been so frequently returned in our columns, if we except the advance of Lady Hylda to 100 to 6 (taken), consequent upon her victory in the Queen's Plate at Bedford the previous day. There was evidently a strong disposition to back Planet and Roly Poly at their respective prices quoted below. Poor Dr. Spates was anything but healthy, the report , being that in his last examination he was not en titled tea 'double first." For the Cambridgeshire, Gratitude and Prince Plausible were equal favourites, and the French horse Bayard came to 30 to 1, taken. The only mention of the Derby was an offer of 20 to 1 against Loogdown, which, however, was declined. Closing prices : CESAREWITCH. sto apt Mr. W.

TWO GENTLEMEN. _ _ The above heading was first announced as the match, but the Twenty•two being considered very strong, some gentlemen amateurs were added to the Players, mak ing the number 14. Although late in the lessee, and the weather rather cold, there was a good sprinkling at sd• tors at the Middlesex County Ground (Mr. Norris's), Isling ton, to witness the match ; and, what is not often the case, there were several willing to volunteer their services to play, but no room could be made for them. The Twenty : two had the batting first, T. Humphrey and T. Hearne starling bowl 'ing ; the latter, however, soon turned it over to who, with the former, bowled well throughout. E. Pooley again showed his ability as a wicket-keeper. The Twenty two made an innings of 97, of which Mr. J. Haines marked 16, by a 4, two 3'a, two 2°a, and singles ; Mr. Gladwin, 18 (very ably gained) ; and Mr. Wilson, 10, in which was a 3 and a 2. The rest were single figures. On the side of the Fourteen, Mr. kfliturin scored 14, in which were a 4 and a 2 ; and Mr. A. Hewett, 14, comprising some fine hits for two 3's and three 2's. Mews. Backlit, Gladwin Holt, Gilchriat, Fordham took a turn with the bell. The stamps were drawn at half-past 5, and the game will be resumed this morning punctually at 11, the wore standing as under The Twenty-two, 97; the Four teen, 51. ROBBERY OP £40,000 BY A CONFIDENTIAL CLERK. Mr. Lewis, jun., of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, of Ely-place, applied to Mr. Alderman Challis, at the Guildhall Police Court yesterday, under the following circumstances :—He said—l apply to you, sir, on behalf of Mr. Aaron Salomon', who is a Manchester warthousroan, of Old Change, end my application is for you to grant a war rant for the apprehension of his chief ,clerk end mailer, who has lately absconded, having robbed his employer to the ex tent of 40,0001. Him mode of operation appears to have been by copying the good bills entrusted to him to lodge at the London and Westminster Bank, with which bank he lodged the forged copied and discounted the good bills else where, the proceeds of which he bas applied to his own pur poses. The clerk, John Allen Thornley, had been in Mr. Salomon employ for many year past, and enjoyed his ut most confidence. Indeed, the defalcations and forgeries were not found out until suspicion wee aroused by his not returnieg from his holidays. His desk was then broken open, and a letter found from him acknowledging everything. He would put in the information, and then ask the court for a warrant for the apprehension of the delinquent. The following information was then read : " Aaron Salomon* said—l carry on the business of a ware- houseman, at 35, Old Change, in the city of London. John Allen Thornley has been in my employment for fifteen year and upwards as confidential clerk and cashier, and amongst other duties which be lied to perform he from time to time, as occasion might require, was entrusted by me with bills of exchange to take to the London and Westminster Hank, Lothbury, in the city of London, and there deposit such bills of exchange as security for moneys to be advanced nponthem. I have seen the bill of exchange for 9761.3,. Ild., purporting to be drawn by me on, and accepted by, Mr. H. A. Joseph, of 1, Budge-row, Leedom dated the 21st day of July, 1864, and payable six months after date, which bill of exchange is produced by Josiah Forsaith, a clerk in the London and Westminster Bank, and I say that I never gave the said bill of exchange to the said John Allen Thornley to take to the London and Westminster Bank, and the signature' A. Salmons' to the said bill of exchange, as the drawer thereof, is not in my handwriting, and was not written by my authority or with my knowledge. I produce • letter which I found in the desk of the said John Allen Thornley at my warehouse, of the aforesaid, which letter is in the handwriting of the said John Allen Thornley, and the following is a copy thereof • ' Sept. 28, 1864, Old Cbange.—Sir,—lt is with the bitt erest sorrow sod rename that I feel at length I must confess to you that having engeged for the last two or three years in extensive speculations, in order to cover pay ments which I had made on my brother James's amount (independent of the money you so kindly advanced to him), sod them speculations having only rendered my position worse end worse, 1 em appalled to find that the total ties now amounts to above 40,0006 ' • and this sum I have from time to time abstracted from your business. The infatuation which has led me on and on it is utterly impossible for me to explain, the more so as the whole of the money, to the beet of my recollection, has been paid away in the manner I have mentioned, and has not been used toe the porous of extravagance or my own eUandieement. This my banker's book will clearly show. I always lived within my biome, and, as you know, have always worked hard; and how I could have acted in the way I have done, when I look back upon the past, lam utterly astounded at myself. You will see that within the present month a considerable sum has been ap propriated for differences, and for this I now specially blame myself. I may, however, state that most of the parties hold security.

Bow-gritzer. Blase &seta, a wine merchant, nrrying on business at 51, King-street, Regent-street, appeared to • summons charging him with selling wine without • license. Mx. Dually, the solicitor to the Excise, said Mr. Rosetta formerly took out • license for selling wine, which he allowed to expire, and, notwithstanding that fact, he con tinued to sell without having renewed his license to do so. An officer of the Excise entered Mr. Rosetta's shop soon after his license had expired, sod purchased • bottle of claret, and, having paid for it, he asked Mr. Rosetta if he had • license. Mr. Roeetti said he bad had one, but be bad not yet renewed it. The officer advised him at once to take out the license, which he did, but the presort proceedings were instituted for the recovery of the penalty that had been incurred by Mr. Rosetti, by selling wine between the expiration and the renewal of his license. The board had nauseated to accept 10s. instead of the full penalty i but Mr. Rosetti, be be him', objected to this, believing he was justified in so , doing. Mr. Rosetti said, when the officer told him to take out his license he said no proceedings would be taken against him. He accordingly paid for • renewal of the license, yet he had been summoned to this court for the recovery of a penalty. He did not think the Excise ought to have taken any proceedings against him. Mr. Henry—You are summoned for the fine you have incurred by selling wine during the time you had no license. The money you have paid is to enable you to sell for the future. Mr. Rceetti—The officer told me if I took out the license directly I should not be proceeded against. Mr. Dually said the Board of Excise had intimated that if Mr. Roletti would pay 10e. all proceedings should be stayed. Mr. Etaietti—That's all very well ; but I don't nee that I ought to pay the 10a. at all. Mr. Henry— W hat is the amount of due for selling wine without a Lome 1 Mr. Dwel4-201. Mr. Henry-1 think, Mr. Masotti, you are very fortunate. If you don't accept the o ff er, I shall have to hear the awe, and, if proved, fine you 201. I think you had better pay the 10a. instead of finding fault. Mr. Rosetti—Well, sir, if you think it is right, I will pay the money. Mr. Meaty—lf you ask me, I don't think it is quite right. I think that if the case is proceeded with I shall have to floe you 201. Yon had better pay the money instead of finding fault. Mr. Dwelly said the board had determined not to enforce the full penalty if the fine of 10e. was paid. If that was agreed to by Mr. Rosetti, the information upon which the stunmotts was issued would be withdrawn. _ _ Ultimately Mr. Rosetti paid the lOs. and retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Miller, a foreman in the employ of the Lon don General Omnibus Company, appeared before Mr. Tyr whitt to emu er the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of unlawfully causing and procuring to be cruelly ill-treated and tortured two horses. Mr. Beard appeared for the defendant on the part of the company. The hones when brought to the front of the court for the inspection of the magistrate were in a very bad con dition. The evidence of Rutherford, one of the society's officers, u to the condition of the horses having been read over, Rutherford said, in answer to Kr. Beard, that he saw the defendant the following day, and be told him that the bones had been condemned, and ought not to have been sent out. Re had never had to find fault with the hones under the defendant's care before. Turner, the dnver of the bones, wu called in, and he said that when the horses were brought to the s place he complained, to the odd man who brought them, of their condition, but as the place we. ban s nun from the stable he wu obliged to go with the horses. having no op portunity of changing them. The man, who was only on for the day, inid he could not help it. In reply to Mr. Beard, the wanes Kid the horses had been stepped in their work to be inspected as to whether they ware fit for work say more or not. Mr. Beard said it wee to be regretted the horses were brought out, but it was from inadvertence and not inten tion. The defendant had been forty years in charge of horses and never complained of before. He hoped, sa the defendant was no party to their being worked, the complaint would be diemined ; at the same time he (Mr. Beard) would admit the hones were unfit for work. The odd man was called, end said it was through his mis take the hones were brought out. Mr. Tyre/hitt, in dismissing the complaint, said he wu not at all sorry the defendant had been summoned, as it bad been the means of an explanation being given. He waa determined to put an end to the misery inflicted upon the poor things if possible. Mr. Beard said the horses had been destroyed. Rutherford stated that that was the case. MARYLEBONE. . . _ _ Joke Foster, alias Austin, was brought up in custody of Inspector Egertoo, of the 1) division, charged with the following robbery of • valuable gold watch, chain and amis. The 'widows gone into showed that the prisoner took up his resides*, at the Western Counties Hotel, London-street. Pddiogtoo, • week or two prior to the 23rd of June of last year. is appearance was highly respectable, and his manners so plausible as to throw the moat wary off their guard. Whilst staying at this hotel he made the acquaintance of • gentleman, also • lodger, and got OD the best of terms with him. This lodger (Mr. Collie), on the morning of the Mad of .tune, last year was in bed, when the prisoner entered his room, and if tee making some remarks about the books and phsphe on the table, he left. When C o llis got up b e missed from his dressing-table his gold watch, Albert chain, seals, and locket. Shortly previous to the property being missed the prisoner paid his bill sod left. Collis at once informed Mr. Hendon, the propnetor of the hotel, of the robbery. Mr. Heston gave information to the police, and was instru mental in truing the property, which was pledged at Rich mood for 61. by a man whom the assistant believed to be the prisoner. The prisoner was next beard of under rather peculiar circumstances. After leaving Rich mond he made his way to Northallertoo, in Yorkshire, and took up hie abode at an hotel. Here be paid his bill, but was captured for robbing • gentleman who was etsying in the same house. He was tried and sentenced to nine months' hard labour in the Northallerton House of Correction. Immediately after he received his sentence he was photographed, his mom tache and beard not shaven off. There having been nu merous complaints of hotel robberies, oopies were emit off to the different headquarters of police in the kingdom. At many places he was recognised by partite who had been victimised. Whilst in prison he with several other primers was attacked with smallpox and removed to the sick ward, where Peltier, one of the warders, observed some signs between the prisoner and a fellow prisoner, named Bonner. In consequence of this the prisoner was searched, and in • handkerchief, tied up in a corner, was found • pawnbroker's duplicate relating to the stolen property. This was forwarded to Sir Richard Mayne, who instructed Inspector Egerton, of the I) division, to take up the case. Mr. Egerton made an affidavit, upon which a warrant was granted for the apprehension of the prisoner. Armed with this authority, Mr. Egerton proceeded to North allerton, and as he (prisoner; was leaving the gaol after serving his time, he touched him on the shoulder and told him he was " wanted " for the robbery of a watch. Pri soner said he should make no trouble, but would plead guilty, and throw himself on the mercy of the court. The wretch chain, and seal were now produced and identified by Mr. Collie. The preens was committed for trial. The prisoner was " wanted " for numerous hotel robberies, nod also for passing forged cheques upon different country basks. WANDSWORTH.

Shortly Isidore the closing of the court tbs prisoner was stale put in the dock. Mary Ann Hanes, the young woman, then attended and was sworn. Sbe said she had been keeping company with the prisoner for It months. 'fLere had been no quarrel between them. He came to her father's house on Monday Woes her. He was in liquor. He was jealous of her, and said if she did sot have him she should have no one else. Witness told him not to take notice of what other persons maid. She denied that the prisoner used any threat to her, or that he did anything to her. By Yr. Wiliam, who defended the prisoner—The witness said he bad been kind and affectionate to her. They were engaged to be married. He was very drunk on Monday, and he and her mother had • few words. The witness also dated that she did not wish to prosecute him. Inspector Afire produced the razor, on the blade of which there was • streak of blood. The inspector said the pri soner's hand was cut, but the parties then sought to show that it had been caused by his breaking • window. Mr. Darman decided upon remanding the prisoner with. out bail. and issued two summonses for the attendance of the witnesses who had failed to appear. as he was deter mined to hear the fank of the case. The witnesses now attended, sad appeared very reluctant to give any evidence affecting the prisoner. Impactor Ayre, however, elicited from them that the pri mmer seized hold of the yonog woman's threat, that she helloed " Murder "and that if they had not taken her away she might have been strangled. One witness said the pn sooer had a razor in hie hand, but it was shut, and that he was in the act of putting it into his packet, and the other declared that it was in his band half opened.

The prisoner was locked up in default, One Of the summoned witnesses applied for expenses, but Mr. Darman refused to give him any for the manner in which he had given his evidence. COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was holden yester day at Guildhall. The Right Hon. the Loth MAYOR pro. sided, and there was a full attendance of members of the Court of Aldermen and Commoner., on account of the paper of business containing a notification that the first proceeding would be to formally present to Sir Moses Montefiore the resolution of thanks. unanimously agreed to by the count oe the 7th of April last, to that gentlem.n for hie distinguished and unwearied exertions on behalf not only of member his own religious profession, but also of Christians, and to alleviate the evils to which they were subjected in Morocco and other parte. Sir Moose Mom:non, who, its satisfactory to state, appeared to be in excellent health, was 'lntroduced to the court, amidst loud and earnest cheering, by Mr. Alderman Phillips sod Deputy Elliott, the proposer and seconder of the resolution of thanks. He was accompanied by Mr. Joseph Sebag, Mr. Sampson Samuel, Mr. Lewis Cohen, Dr. Hodgskin, Mr. H. Goedella, Dr. Lowe, Mr. S. Loess, Mr. J. M. Montefiore, Dr. Mortimer, and Mr. G. F. Phillips. After the presentation, Mr. B. J. Ounce. the chairman of the City Lands Committee, then moved that the address of the Lord Mayor and the reply of Sir Moser Montefiore be entered upon the journals of the court. Mr. WIEBBZI seconded the motion, which was agreed to unanimously, sod the court then proceeded to the ordinary bunions on the paper. THZ LORD ILATOR-11.1CT. The LORD MAYOR announced that he had received a letter from Alderman Hale (the Lord Miyor•elect) f3rmally an nouncing hie acceptance of the *Moe of Lord Mayor for the year ennuing. OPINES° or SOUTHWARK SHIDGI. ' Mr. WEBBZI, the chairman of the Bridge-house Estates Committee, next brought up a report from that committee, which meted that the proprietor, of the Southwark.bridge were willing to dispose of it to the corporation for the sum of 200,0001., and that they had offered to allow it to be opened free to the public for twelve months upon the cor poration guaranteeing the ram of 1.8341. for the first six months sod 2, 7601 . for the second . Mr. Webber moved that the report be printed and circulated among the mem bers of the court, end Mr. fowler proposed as an amend ment, which was seconded by Mr. Itudkin, the previous question. This led to a good deal of discussion, during which several members of the court expressed an opinion that it would be extremely unadvisable to carry out the proposition of the committee at the present moment. The objections prin. cipally urged were that if once this bridge were opened to the public it would be impossible ever to close it again to them, and that it was very doubtful whether, from its °Distraction, it would be capable of car rying the heavy traffic that would have to pass over it, and if it were to fail, the corporation would be compelled to build • new bridge, and probably incur an outlay of nearly 500,0001. . . . . Alderman SALOMONB strongly supported the pro position for opening the bridge to the public upon the proposed terms, and said that it the arrangement was not found to be a satisfactory one, it could be put an end to at the time specified, and that the requirements of the public earnestly demanded that the corporation should do something on snob an important matter. Eventually the motion for the printing of the report and it. circulation among the members with a view to its fur ther consideration was agreed to. Several petitions for assiatance to charitable institutions were referred to the Coal. Corn, and Finance Committee. Some other business was transacted, and the court then adjourned.

WOOL AND WOftSTED. BRADFORD, Ocr. 6. The aspect of the commercial sky has brightened once last week, but two dark looking clouds still show themselves on the edge of the horizon, and prevent reviving confidence from taking the sh►pe of buainess. These clouds are the nine pet cent. rate of discount and the heavy failures which are taking place in the chief centres of business. Although the state of our wool Wade is unexceptionally firm, nine par emit. presses severely on operations calculated upon a much lower rate. Two or three failures have taken place in Bradford already, mediatel► in consequence of the 'aspen. moo of the Leeds Bank Company, but really because they had been carr►ing on business too extensively for the capital at their command. There is a much more cheerful torn pervading the wool market to-day. There have been more inquiriee and more bids. But this bee really been more for the purpose of testing prices of wool, particularly in cause where spinners are sheet of the raw material. There are large firms who are quite out of stocks, and there are other whose stocks are fast diminishing. Moreover there is less wool in the market than at this time last year. The greater firma's!' of the cones market has also an influence on the market. Prices are about the same as last week. There is nothing doing in wonted yarns. The production is very limited. Most spinners are running short time, and some have takes cos tracts for which merchants are not in a position to give par ticulars, having, in fact, no demand for them at present. The priors of yarns are irregular. The piece branch par takes of the general depression. There is little or nothing doing for either the continent or America. Primo are very irregular, and where orders are given a reduction may he obtained. LACE AND HOSIERY.—NormosAr, Ocr. 6.—Tb• lace trade has been exceedingly quiet during the last few days, especially in the foreign department There are, however, just now symptoms of • reviving home trade, more considerable orders having been received this day from London.

Most of the hosiery branches are dull, but there is rather more tone in the trade, from the expecte. time which prevail that with • more easy money market yams may retain their &mama At present, however, buyers and sellers are acting with the greatest circumspeo ties, and for some weeks the raw uncertainty will prevail —Potting/win Journal.
