soUTHAMPTON ELECTIoN. (11110/1 A COILIIBPONDENT.) The result of the Southampton election hie sur prised every one. Not many run ago, when the liberal party was aimed . equally divided into two sections, and each section brought forward its candidate, the tory candi date was not sucossaful. The talk of a reaction iu favour of toryism is nonsense. The liberals in Southampton far outnumber the toriea, but through a variety of circum stances this could not tell upon the election. In the first place t aptain Mangles was not a popular candidate. The townspeople have for several years been at war with the South Western Railway Company, of which the captain is chairman, about the introduction of the broad gauge into the town, and the company has just obtained a signal and final victory over its opponents, who are, therefore, smarting under defeat. This told very mint against the captain. Many liberals refused to vote at all, so much did they diolike his conduct on the railway question. Agate, the liberals only made up their quarrel at the last moment, and after the Lord Xeyoread the tories had gained the start in organising and monuro liaise the local machinery for carrying on the election. So recent was the mow:illation that at the municipal elections the liberals voted for kirks rather than for members of the opposite liberal section. This was a grievous mistake, for the triumphant return of a number of Write to the borough courted gave them heart to fight for the parlia mastery seat. The Lord Mayor as soon as he came into the town engaged almost every lawyer here, who commenced curnesing for him night and day. He also engaged a very large number of hotels, taverns, and teerhouses, where his friends drew night after night waver. mg voters, and the good old tory times of feasting and jollity were revived. Captain Mangles had maroely any raid agents. He patronised no public houses, and owing to hi oppoisent's lavishness of money he could not even aware cabs enough to bring his voters to **poll. The election will cost the Lord Mayor about 3.00 W., and Captain Mangles considerably is than 1,0001. The Peninsular and Oriental Company, which sided with the tory, spend three times more money in the town than the Royal Mail Com pany, which sided with Captain Mangles, so the election was, in fact, a struggle for supremacy between the two companies rather than a fight for political priucipke. A Large number of the employes of the Peninsular and Oriental Company were, and are now, liberal., and yet they voted against Captain Mangles, because he is the chairman of the Royal Mall Company. The tories seek all minor differences, if they had any, and voted for the Lord Mayor, who simpl declared himself an adherent of Lord Derby. The libera ls do not sink their minor differences in this manner. They are composed of teetotallers, peace men, dissenters, and churchmen. They have each their views upon liquor laws, church matters, and foreign inter vention. If they all cordially joined in voting for a man who would give a general and discriminating support to a liberal administration, they could elect him with ease. One • fatal mistake the liberals made. They could not believe that 3,000 voters would poll, snl knowing that they had promises from a majority of that number, they made too sure of winning. The most unusual number of nearly 3,400 voters polled. Such t o mistake need not and will not be made again. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION AND THE CENSUS. TO THE macros OF THE EXPRESS.

TEE MUSIC. ~ MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS There wan a "Monday Popular Concert" on Saturday evening ; that is to my, the Directors of the Monday Popular Concerts gave an extra performance on that evening, similar in every respect to the regular concerts of the series, in ►id of the Lancashire Relief Fund. All the performers volunteered their gratuitous Gordan; the free use of St. Jamee's-hall was given ; and, moreover, the expenses of every description—printing, advertising, at tendance, So.—were defrayed by the directors of the Monday Popular Concerts ; so that the whole receipts of this concert, without any diminution whatever, were banded over to the fund. The concert wadi of the most retherche kind—one of the best, indeed, that have been given since these admirable en tertainments were set on foot. The Popular Concert of this evening is the last before Christmas, and (we add with regret) the last of Joachim's present engagement. He immediately returns to the duties of his office in the service of the King of Hanover, but will revisit London, we have reason to believe, in the reuses of the ensuing season. The monad public will learn with pleasure that Sivori is among the great artiste who are ex pected neat spring. SACRJD HARMONIC SOCINTY, EXINTA-HALL —The usual Christmas performances of Handers Metrialt will take plats on Friday, 12th and 19th instant.. DRAMA. SADLER'S WELLS. Mr. Creswick made his appearance at this house on Stturday night in the character of Harald, supported by the ordinary company, Miss C. Lucetteplaying This is the first regular London engagement which this favourite actor has taken aloes his retirement from the Surrey Theatre. It is merely announced as an Additional attraction for the cattleuhow week, but we should hope that it will last far beyond this agricultural festival. Mr. Creswick has a well-earned, solid reputation as an actor in tragedy and drama, and the management of this theatre has not yet quite succeeded in hitting the taste of its public. Perhaps the introduction of a more definite purpose, with lees of the weathercock policy in the performances, would produce that success which is gratifying alike to the public and to the managers. This little theatre is in the heart of a respectable and populous district, and trades with an historical character at its back. For these reasons alone we regret to see it losing pound.

WORKHOUSE TMIT.-ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE AND THE LANCASHIRE RELIC?' FUND.—A movement of sympathy for the distress in Lancashire has been commenced in the parish of St. Pancras. The inmates of a workhouse, themselves the recipients of relief, would be supposed to be the last to contribute to the relief fund, but at the instance of Mrs. Morrison, the matron of the St. Pancras Workhouse, a subscription has been set on foot amongst the inmates, wbich in pence halfpence and far things at first yielded a sum of 1./. 17s. The weekly sub eruption from the same source has since amounted re spectively to 15s. and 17s. 6d. In explanation of the apps. rent outratliction that the pauper clue should be able to contribute any money at all, it may be stated that a certain number of the inmates receive trifling weekly sums for special duties performed, and that others have money occa simony brought them by their friends. It is out of these [ scanty funds, and by the self-denial of little purchaseable comforts, which had perhaps cheered a happier condition of existence, that this singular help is afforded. We have heard of a similar act of self-sacrifice on die part of the in. mates of the Manchester workhouse ; but the case now cited is, we believe, amongst the metropolitan workhouses, peculiar to Cie woikhonse of St. Pancras. THE FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT MAKBRO%— On Friday morning, the inquest upon the bodies of the seven men who met with their deaths thmngh the shove IN A LUNATIC HALT. V. BEIOI.I.—ILLIMAL CONFUIa.. Ann Ult. This was an action against the defendant, • medical mao, for falsely and maliciously and without probable cause having signed • certi fi cate that the plaintiff was • lunatic, and thereby having caused him to be placed in a lunatic asylum. The defendant pleaded not guilty and a justification. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., Mr. lluddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Ser joint Pigott and Mr. Gordon Allen for the defendant. A number of witnesses were called, including the plain tiff's married daughter, in corroboration of his statinnert. They all stated that the plaintiff was of sound mind, and had not shown the least signs of insanity. The daughter corroborated the father with regard to the wife's pawning the goods and hie finding 40 duplicates on one occasion under her bed, and denied that be had ever ill-treated her. When her father complained of the paining of the goods her mother would run out into the Asset, make a noise, and collect a crowd. The pawnbroker was called, and stated that for four years the plaintiff's wife had been in the habit of pledging new goods. At last he refused to take any more in consequence of information he had received. Dr. Griffiths, who had known the plaintiff's parents. and had attended the plaintiff since his birth, deposed to his perfect sanity, sod to the wife having frequently asked him to certify that the plaintiff was of unsound friend. Dr. Stone, medical attendant at Manley-house Asylum, and Mr. Elliott, the proprietor, also deposed to plaintiff's sanity. Oa the Ist of August Mr. Elliott received a letter from the defendant expressing his surprise at the contem plated release of the plaintiff, who he mid was, in hie opinion, a dangerous lunatic. He had signed one of the certificates, and he begged that the plaintiff might not be discharged until his wife, who wee in danger of her life, had an opportunity of laying her case before the Commis sioners in Lunacy, to whom she would immediately mime% and he was willing to appear before them and justify hie conduct in the matter. For the defence it was stated that the defendant had no motive for what he had dove, and that he only acted es a medical man called in on the particular occasion. He did not undertake to prove tha'... Mr. Hall was insane ; but what he had done be had done honestly, and if that were established he was not liable in this action. So far from the defendant's inducing Dr. Guy to sign the second oertifi- Wei, it would be proved that the latter signed a similar certificate some years before. The defendant had caisied on his profession for a (muter of • oentury, in Toningtor square, and knew nothing of them parties until about the 28th of July, when Mrs. Hall consulted him about an in. jury to her hi east, which she said was the result of her husband's violence. She added that her husband was in sane, and in his delusions he charged her • ith drunkennen and adultery. She declared there was not the slightest foundation for these charges. Believing Mrs. Hall's statement was true, he called upon Mr. Hall, told him what he had come about, and his version of the internee between them differed very ma terially from the plaintiff's statement. Mrs. Hall informed him that her husband rushed in suddenly from the street and gave her the blow on the breast from which she was suffering. She said it was one of • sezies of assaults committed upon her by him during • long course of years, which she attributed to the effect of a disordered mind. She said that her husband on one occasion nearly stabbed her with a carving knife ; that he kicked her in the abdo men when she was pregnant, and that be once nearly strangled her in bed. She also spoke of a number of other minor amanita, and requested the defendant to call and see her husband with a view of testing the state of his mind. He called on the plaintiff and introduced himself as Dr. Sample, and stated that he had come to see his wife about her breast. After stating that he would not pay any bill which she incurred, and that Dr. Griffiths was the medical man, he proceeded to state that they lived very unhappily together; that she was always drunk ; that she was in the habit of pion out day and night with other men ; that she was wasting his property by pawning his goods ; and that he had sold off three times in consequence of her miacooduct. The plaintiff afterwards desired him to leave, and he withdrew. Yr. Hall was exceedingly excited and his manner was rude. His eyes were restless, and his appearance was that of a man having irritability of the ham. Defendant washed to see the wife again before he formed his opinion on Mr. Hall's state. She called on him the same day, and told him that the restlessness was habitual to the plaintiff ; that he slept badly at night, and that he was generally very irritable in ttmper. He asked her, in the most serious and solemn manner, whether any of the statements in regard to her.elf she had represented her h isbaod to make were true ; and that she most state upon her solemn word whether she bad or had not conducted her self improperly with other men, because if the plaintiff's statements were true she was clearly not entitled to any belief. She denied most positively that she had ever been guilty of such conduct, nor was she in the habit of drinking. She said she had been obliged to pawn her husband's goods to prozure the necessaries of life, bonnie he refused to allow her sufficient for ber..elf and chiliren. She said the busi ness was a flourishing one ; that it had rever been sold off ; but he had allowed the goods to be dis.rained upon for poor rates and servant's were. She said her husband would not allow her to sleep with him. She refeiced him to Mrs. Buda, of Tottenham-court-road, as to her general' character for veracity and integrity. He made in. curies which were satisfactory. She also referred to Dr. Giq, of Golden-square, as her enedkalsuus at that tiles that Mr. Griffiths bad attended her, but Dr. Guy knew more about her. He saw Dr. Guy the next day, who stated that he had attended the Halls for 4 or 5 years, generally for bruises and kicks inflicted on the wife by the husband. He con sidered him to be of unsound mind, sod he signed a certifi cate about four years since to that effect. Dr. Guy said he knew the plaintiff had accused his wife of improprieties, and of her being intimate with him. Under all these cir- oumstaoces defendant thought he was justified in signing a certificate of unsound mind, sad he accordingly signed it at Or. Guy's house, about midday ou the VA July. Medical practitioners generally keep these forms of certificates. From the wife's telling him that her hus band constantly slept with • drawn sword by his bedside, and declared that he would murder any one who approached him, coupled with the other statements, be believed the plaintiff to be a person of unsound mind. He received from Mrs. Hall a fee of two guineas for all he did. There were additions to his certificate of which he was cognisant. He never suggested anything about his removal. or to what asylum he should be taken. With regard to the convolu tion, in September, at the plaintiff's house, the defendant denied that he bad told the wife to pawn the geed.. He told her, if she had committed adultery, she should be turned out of doors. He told Mrs. Hell to take out a sum mons against the husband tot the assault. In crom-exami nation the defendant mid he did not make any inquiries of Mr. Griffiths, although he had been told that he had at teeded Mr. Hall for many years. The plaintiff's wife wan called. In croes.extuninatioa she said that she believed her hug baod was insane shortly after their marriage, and she had considered so ever since. Mr. Beadou bad bound her over on three OMmeinus to keep the peace. On the last occasion be told her that if she were brought there again he would send her to when instead of binding her over to keep the pears. (Laughter.) She had borrowed money and pawned goods for the purposes of the house. She bad said that her husband was living in adul tery, and she hail witnesses to prove that he was living with Miss Cash, • milliner. She was not an old maid, 50 years of ege. (Laughter.) [The plaintiff positively denied this in his craw-examination.] She had known her husband to be in the Haymarket until 5 o'clock io the morning. She was not an habitual drunkard. She had known him to drink rum, and she had known him to be drunk. That was the gay life and drunkenness that she complained of in the statement she sent to the lunatic asylum. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned until this (Monday) morning. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. DEc. 6. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) RUMMENELL V.

MIDLANDCIRCIIIT.—Norrnicuum, DEC. C. Chows flos.—(Before Mr. Baron Bnanirell.) The Rev. noose Cartwright, a clergyman of the church of England, abed 31, curate of St. Mary's, Nottingham, sru charged with forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 201. upoe Mr. Peter Drummond, of Stirling, in August last. The prisoner took the forged bill to a bill discounter named Hudson. The latter ' suspecting it not to be genuine, communicated with Mr. Drummoud, who at once pro nounced it to be a forgery. Prisoner told Hudson that the bill was paid to him for literary services on the British Messenger. Mr. Herbert prosecuted, and Mr. Cave defended the prisoner. The prisoner on being formally charged said, "I am guilty, but without intention to defraud. The judge said he could not accept that plea, and directed the prisoner to plead guilty or not guilty. The prisoner then pleaded guilty. Mr. Cave, for the defence, said that the prisoner deeply regretted the commission of the offence. He bad occupied a very respectable position in society. Besides his curacy, the prisoner used to write for various magazines. Owing to his brother being pressed for money the prisoner put his band to this bill, which he intended to take up when it was due. _ The Rev. Canes Brooke, Alderman Bradley, and the Rev. P. Addiman, gave the pi:aoner an excellent cha racter. - IT. Burin Bramwell sentenced the prisoner to three years. penal servitude.

This was an action brought against the proprietor of the Carnarroa and Drnsigh Herald by Mr. Russell Mellor, a flung gentleman whom the editor of the defendant's paper characterised as having " more money than brains, and less principle than either." The 66 remark& were drawn forth by the conduct of Mr. Mellor in connexion with the band of the "3rd Denbighshire Volunteers." Mr. Mellor, it ap peared, being blessed with considerable wealth, and having • great taste for music, joined the band of the above corps last rummer (when he was staying in Wales), and on several ocesaione took the band out for an excursion at his own expense. This excited the anger of Captain Edwards, who intimated that the band could not go out in their uniform without the express permission of the commanding officer, and that Mr. Mellor had better supply the musicians with • uniform at his own expense, This Mr. Mellor actually did, and of course became the idol and pet of his fellow musicians. On one occasion, when Mr. Mellor had charge of the band during the illness of the master, the order was given to "strike up " on puede. This, and also a subsequent order, was disobeyed, and the band were then ordered to " fall out.* For this breach of discipline, however, an apolog7 was written, and signed by all the band (including the plaintiff), on the un derstanding that no more was to be said about the matter. Captain Edwards revived the charges of insubordination, accused Mr. Mellor of inciting them to mutiny, and said be should decline to receive the plaintiff's resignation, and should " ignominiously expel him the corps . " It was in a report of effisptain Edwards 's speech delivered on this occa sion, and in some editorial remarks upon it, that the alleged libel charged upon the defendant lay. For the defence, it was urged by Mr. Brett, Q.C., that the language of the editor wee within the range of fair and legitimate comment ; and that gentlemen with as much wealth and indiscretion as Mr. Mellor might, by acting as he had done, cause greet mischief to the volunteer cause. The jury found for the plaintiff—damages, 51. THE POLIOE COURTS. GUILDHALL._ Trotebridg;, w ; traveller in the employ of Mr. Charles Lee, a collar manufacturer, of Noble-street, was charged with an extensive robbery upon his employer. The priaonerhad been eight weeks in the prosecutor's barrios. during which period he bad brought in fictitious orders , for large quantities of goods, intercepting them during delivery, and then pawning them. In this way as many as 200 dozen of collars had di appeared. Other traneactions were referred to, in which property, consisting of 94 dozen collars, 288 ebb Monts, and other quantities of collars, was produced by the pawnbrokers with whom they had been pledged. Mr. Beard, who appeared for the prosecution, said the pro secutor was willing to recommend the prisoner to mercy, and be, therefore, hoped the magistrate would deal sum marily with the prisoner, on account of his wife and family. Alderman Humphery said the six months' imprisonment which he could give the prisoner would not be surf cie it for such a flagrant case of robbery upon an employer ; six years' penal servitude would be nearer the proper seutence. Committed for trial. BOW.STREET. . . Mr. James Attenborough, pawnbroker, of the Strand, appeared to a summons charging him with detaining two gold watches, whi.:ll it was alleged were stoke property. The complaint was made by Mr. Samuel Jackson, watch maker, of 68, Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell, who dewed that on the 15th of July last be placed a number of watches in the hands of Mr. Miller. a commission agent and wine merchant, who required them as samples. No authority was given to him to dispose of the watches, although complainant would Dot go so far as to say that he should have objected to their lasing sold. After being some time in the poestesion of Mr. Miller, they were all returned except two,which had been entr usted toe man named Mean. Miller stated that he gave the two watches to Mears, requesting him to ascertain their value • but Mears never returned them, and ultimately confessed that he had pledged them at the shop of the defendant, at the same time delivering up the duplicates and a written acknowledgment reverting them. Complainant, under these circumatauces, consulted his legal adviser as to the beat mode of recovering his property, and was advised to take the present proceed ' ling against Mr. Attenborough, who had declined to give up the watches without being paid the amount for which they had been pawned. Cross-examined—The watches were delivered to Mr. Miller, at 2, Adelaide-place, London-bridge. Witness knew him an so agent, but not long or intimately. He bad in formed Mr. Miller that he (complainant) should hold him responsible for the watches. Mears, he understood, had absconded. Mr. J. W. Miller, Portland-terrace, Hackney, confirmed the above evidence. stating that watches to the value of 200!. were sent to him as samples,. and returned. He in. tended to prosecute Mears for having illegally pawned the two watches in question., It was contended by the solicitor to the Pawnbrokers Association that there WSJ no evidence of the watches having been stolen or illegally pawned, and therefore the defendant could not be called upon to deliver them up. If such a claim could be made, two persons of less respect ability might combine to defraud to an deeming extent by their simple allegations. There must be a prosecution first for the alleged felony. The magistrate dismissed the summons. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ---- - - • - Joseph litealey, of No . 4, North-street, Holborn, was cha-Led with obtaining money from Mn. Black with intent to defraud her. The prisoner bad represented himself to be the manager of a friendly society, under the patronage of the Roman catholic archbishops and bishops, and upon this rapresenta tion he had obtained small sums of money from different periods, including the complainant. A short time ago a similar charge had been brought ifgainst the defendant, but it was settled out of court upon the defeodate's promising to desist from collecting money for the .uture. A letter had been received from Cardinal Wiseman's secretary, stating that defendant had no authority for using the names of the dignitaries of the catholic church in the prospectee of the alleged society. Application had been made to the various establishments mentioned in the prospectus, who said they never gave tho defendant authority to use their names. Mr. Knox thought it was premai.ure to take the de fendant into custody before evidence against him was com plete. It was stated that the evidence would be forthcoming if the defendant was remanded. Mr. Knox said there was not sufficient evidence at present to enable him to remand the defendant ; he must therefore be discharged, but he could be taken into custody again. MARYLEBONE. Henry MiMonk, a lad aged 14, employed at a printing office, and residing with his mother in Mary-street, Ha ll, l 3 ' - 54,W-road, was charged with having fired off a pistol on the previous night, upon the road from St. Jollies-wood to hsterose-MIL He was seen by a policeman. The pistol was charged with shot. He had bought it for Is. 6d. as • protection against garatting, and as he bad to go about at all hours of the evening he curried it with him. His mother sanctioned his duiog so, and had cautioned him against bringing it home loaded, so be had fired off the charge. Mr. Mansfield said this was one of the ludicrous chapters in the history of prottting, and offered the prisoner either to allow the pistol to remain in the bauds of the police or pay • fine of Is. 6.1. The prisoner decided upon the former alternative, and was discharged.

A let e was afterwards received stating that the prisoner would be prosecuted. SOUTHWARK.. Lewes Gorer, a man known u the " King of the Cohiers,* and who has for several years defied the authorities of the Mint to apprehend him, was charged with having in his possession a complete galvanic battery, and every other ac cessory for manufacturing coin on an extensive male, besides colouring matter, metals, he. Mr. James Brennan, an officer in the employment of the Mint, said that he went about seven o'clock that morning to the prisoner's residence, and found him in bed in a room at the top of the house. He was secured, and in his room they found the above-mentioned articles, all of which were in a complete state, and had recently been seed. He never saw a more perfect apparatus for the manufacture of base coin. At the top of the staircase a massive trap door had been fixed, with bolts on the upper side, so securely that it would defy the strength of a dozen men to open it from below. The prisoner must have left this trap door open, or they could not have effected his capture. The prisoner said he was an electro-plater, and the imple ments found in the room were used by him in his trade. The trap-door had been merely placed there to prevent the children falling down. Mr. Brennan said there was no truth in the prisoner's statement; he was an old convicted thief, and for many years one of the moat successful and extensive coiner of counterfeit money in England. He had hitherto carried on the business in such a systematic manner that it was impce sible to capture him. Mr. Burcltam remanded the prisoner till Wednesday next, for the attendance of the solicitor to the Mint. Bail was refused. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. The date of the opening of this railway remains still undecided, and the only reply to inquiries on the subject is, that it will shortly be open. This is a premise which has been made repeatedly for the lest six months ; but a variety of causes seems to have operated to prevent its fulfilment. This much is certain, that no official inspection bas yet taken dace ; and that until this has been made, end the oertite of the Railway Department has been granted, the line cannot be opened for traffic. The station at the Great Western Railway, at Paddington, is at last com pleted, and thus one assigned cause of delay has been re moved. The system for working the signals is still incom plete, but a hope is expressed that all difficulties upon this head will shortly be overcome. The plan adopted for making the engines consume their own smoke, and con dense their steam, answers perfectly, and though engines are now constantly running along the line, no inconvenience is experienced in the tunnel from the smoke or waste steam. ' The supply of the water required for the condenser' of the engines has been provided at the terminal stations. As the water in which the steam is condensed will of course quickly become heated, and unfit for condensing, a liberal supply of cold water will be necessary at the terminal stations, and this will be supplied by some very ingenious mechanical arrangements. In the open cuttings the engines will blow off the steam in the usual manner, and in the tunnelled por tions only will the condensing ap paratus be used. The ob ject of making the carriages to run on the line wider than those in ordinary rise on the Greet Western Railway wee to economise as much as possible of the platform space at the stations. The length of the platform in the tunnel is, of course, rather more limited than *here the railway runs on the open ground, and by reducing the length of a train, and giving the carriages increased width, the station space would be available for a larger amount of traffic. In giving this increased width to the carriages, however, the doors will not open the whole way back in the tunnel, bat may be opened sufficiently wide, however, to admit of the woo of passengers. At the stations this difficulty doss not occur, and there they open to the usual extent. The Gnat Western Railway Company have long completed all their arrangements, and are prepared to commence the working of the line immediately that the necessary sanction Imbues given by the government inspector.—Observer.

COTTON GOODS.—NANCHLSSZIL, Dac. 6. —The de grenton which brought down the prios of cotton so Consi derably a few week. ago at Liverpool enabled some of our millownera to .chase at such a price that they have been able to take ceders at a price that will eitoer pay or involve less lop than keeping their mills standing, and hence we bear of a number of mills having resumed work. The affect has been, with the purchases of cotton made at Liver pool for the United States, to give an upward tendency to prices, and the returns of sales of cotton during the past week show a rather considerable increase of business. The result here has been to induce sellers both of yam and cloth to advance their rates, and a fair amount of business has been done during the week in yarns at id. to ld. per lb. ad vance; in some sums rather more. For cloth the advance checks Waimea There have been some sales for the •Levant, South America, sod ether markets getting rather bare of supplies, where manufacturers have been willing to meet the buyer on moderate terms, but the aggregate amount of this business has not been considerable, and the market closes rather quiet.

HARDWARE.—Brawntratew, Dr.c. 6. —The trade of this town has shown more animation this week, chiefly is 000 sequence of an increased supply of orders through the factors, and on account of the home trade ; the foreign orders in are also quite up to the average for this period of the year. At all the large manufactories the men are working full time, and all ti e reports are to the effect that there is a good amount of business doing. The tinplate workers and hollow ware manufacturers are doing a steady trade ; the edge-tool makers are full of orders ; the jewellers report business dull ; the gun trade is also quiet in comps' i son with its condition up to a recent period. The iron trade in this district is moderately good ; there u no excitement, neither can it be said to be brisk ; but there are just suffi cient orders in to keep all the works in full operation, and the second-class makers are doing a better character of trade than they were during the first eight or nine months of this year. Pig iron is in steady demand at the last quarter-day prices, and since that time the make has been slightly increased.
