Since our last notice respecting the Oxford crew some very important alterations have been made in its con stitution, Mr. M. Brown, of T ri nity College, the victori ous Oxford stroke of the two precedi ng years, having this afternoon supplanted Mr. A. all in that important post ; and Mr. F. Willan, of Exeter (president of the Oxford University Boat Club), taken No. 3 position, vice Mr. G. Swingy, Exeter. Other alterations will doubtless follow before training commences, Messrs. Crowder, of Brasenose College, and Wood, University, two of last year's crew, being spoken of as likely to again have places in the boat. The return of Mr. Brown to the stroke-oar has inspire.' the utmost confidence in the minds of the Oxonians, and as that gentleman appears to row in his old " form," it is fair to infer the dark blue will be as well represented as heretofore. Mr. Willan, when not rowing. conches the crew from his steamer, which from its novelty on the Isis has created a sensation. The following are the names of the Oxford crew as existing to-day : 1.

A petition presented in this matter, praying for a winding-up order, was ordered to stand over till Saturday next.

In this matter an order was made some time since for a voluntary winding up of the company under the super. vision of the court. An application was now made for the appointment by the court of an official liquidator, in lien of the secretary, who had been appointed to act as a pro visional liq uid ator in the winding-up. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., Mr. Southgate, Q.C., Mr. Cracimall, Mr. Babington, and Mr. Millar appeared for the several parties. Lord Hominy directed a reference to chambers, to appoint an official liquidator ; and continued the appoint ment of the provisional liquidator in the mean time. MR. HUGHES, M.P., ON CO-OPERATION. Mr. Hughes, M.P., addressed a meeting, at the Whitechapel Schoolroom, on Saturday night, upon co operation. The immediate object of the assembly had reference to the opening of a co-operative store in Pea body's-buildings Spitalfielda. After some general obser vations, he said he supposed that all present had heard how notch co-operation had done for the working people in several parte of England. He himself had been con nected with many such societies for a considerable number of years. There were a good many things at which per sons tried their hands in this complicated state of society. There were a good many plans which one joined, and prin ciples which one believed in at various times, which were found to be false at a later period of life. He had had twenty years' practical experience of the co-operative move ment, and his faith was increased in it, and not diminished. (Hear.) He did not mean to say that there had not been many and considerable failures in 00-operation. There WWI one such failure in Whitechapel. It was a very sad blow to the movement, and tended to discourage it. Ile referred to the failure of the great engineering establish ment. However, it was easy for any one who was ac quainted with the principle to account for such break downs. It was invariably seen that they had failed through want of earnestness in the movement on the part of those who conducted such stores, and not from the weakness or failure of the principle upon which these societies were founded. The longer he lived, and the more lie saw the developments of the movement, the more thoroughly was he convinced that, above every other movement at present known in England, it was enabling the working classes to take that position which it was good for them and the country they should. (Hear.) They were beginning here, as it was quite right they should, with the very AB C of the movement. There were many developments of the prin ciple, but the simplest was that of the co-operative store. He believed they were all pretty well acquainted with the main outlines of this plan. They became their own shopkeepers and customers, and the more they spent the greater return they got. In past years there had been great difficulty in finding good investments for the small savings of the working chores. There were the savings banks, which offered excellent mediums, but they did not give very large returns. Besides the savings hanks there were building societies, which were no doubt profitable in vestments, and perhaps as good as could be found in any class of society. But still the persons for whom co-opera tire stores were most useful were those who, perhaps, could not afford to save sufficient to become members and hold shares in building societies. There was no invest ment so good for working people, so advantageous, in which they could place their money, as co-operative stores. They would, of course take care to purchase the host goods, and sell them at such prices as they might arrange. The profits which were derived from the sales would be divided pro rata. A sufficient margin must be left for incidental expenses. He knew two or three small stores which had been started in neighbour hoods which were not so good for a store as this—and London, he would observe, was behind other parts of Eng land in this movement—and at the end of the half-year a bonus was declared of Is. in the pound upon all purchases. The result was that the purchasers not only had better articles than they could get elsewhere, at the most reason able prices, but at the end of the period he named they got the prufit stated. He trusted that all present would join the movement which WWI now prepared. The prin ciple had spread through all the towns of loncishire, Yorkshire, and other parts of the north. There was not a town or village there in which they would not find a flourishing co-operative store. In the north there bad been but few failures. (Hear, hear.) His opinion was that it re quired a considerable amount of ingenious blundering and folly to get a properly established store into the wrong groove. The more s ha reholders and customers the better and more profitable would be the concern. The particular store which they were met to advance was situate in Pea body's-buildings, where he should imagine a number of persons lived who would become good customers. Resolu tions were then passed in fsvour of such institutions, and this one in particular. In conclusion, the hon. member spoke upon the necessity of the working classes in the re ceipt of good wages saving something. He was a dishonest man and a bad member of society who did not do so. (Hear, hear.) A cordial vote of thanks was given to Mr. Hughes for taking the chair. In reply, he expressed his belief that the movement was to do more for England than any other known. He was only too glad to render them any assistance. There was no part of England where it was more needed than in the east end of London, nor any part where it ought to do so well if they supported it. THE FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS. —Thu nomination for Andover will take place to-day, for Northamptonshire on Wednesday, for East Suffolk on Friday, and for Dublin University on Tuesday.' A ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP ON COMPULSORY EDUCATION.--Dr. Goss, the Roman catholic bishop of Liverpool, attended the annual meeting of the Liverpool Catholic Reformatory Association on Thursday, and ex pressed his views on compulsory education, and what he termed " omr.pulsory reformation." He regretted the enactment of the reformatoq laws, because they " took away the freedom " of children who had not legally transgressed, but were without any means of obtaining a livelihood. He also thought that the government ought to defray the entire cost of reformatories, and that it should not be thrown on the particular body of religionists to which the criminals belonged. With respect to com pulsory education, he said such a procesa would be trampling on the rights of parents, and interfering with the liberty of the subject ; and be hoped the catholic body would endeavour to prevent it. His views did not meet with any expression of assent, but, on the contrary, were freely dissented from, especially with regard to go vernment support of reformatories, by the Rev- Father Nugent. The latter gentleman did not enter the room until after Dr. Goes had concluded his speech, and his ex pression of such dissimilar views caused much amusement. Kr. John Yates also upheld the present mode of support ing reformatories. SERIOUS EFERCTS Or THE LATE GALE ON THE THAVVI.—The fearful gale which burst forth front the westward in the early part of Wednesday morning has occasioned a serious lees of life anal property on the Gravesend section of the river. The wind at times blew in awful gusts, and there was as much sea on as is to be found in the Channel in rough weather. The ferry steamers in making their way across the Thames rolled and laboured fearfully. The shipping which brought up in the several reaches had a very trying time of it, and se veral fatal catastrophes have occurred. During the height of the dorm on Wednesday morning, before daybreak, the brims Fanny, of Whitby, coal laden, which had anchored in the Lower Hope, a few miles below Gravesend, parted rum her moorings, or rather the windlass was torn out of her by the terrific violence of the gale. The brig was then driven athwart-hawse of a large barque called the Warrior, of Swansea, which was also at anchor ; and so great W.IS the force with which the collier was dashed against the barque that she immediately began to fill and went down, anal it is believed that Captain Falconer, the master, the mate, and a seaman, perished with the ill-fated vessel. The survivors got on board the barque. On Thursday. about noon. the sailing barque John, of Ayles ford, bound to the Medway, was going down Long Reach, when a fretful gust of wind threw the barque over, and she sunk, and two of the hands are reported to have been drowned. Several other disasters are reported. Ozeirraf. PALACH. HALF-A-CROWN DAT. SATVIDAT, 9.—Admissions on payment, 1, 0 25.5; ditto by season tickets, 6,638: total visitors, 7,893.

THE DISTRESS AT THE EAST END 01PLONDON. I.ITUTATION TO MK LIM OF DIUT. On Saturday afternoon a deputation from the London Working Men's Association waited by appoint ment on Lord Derby, at his official residence in Downing street, for the purpose of bringing under the notice of government the distress now prevailing amongst the skilled artisans and labourers usually employed in the shipbuilding yards of the river Thames, and to suggest the adoption of immediate measures by the government for alleviating that distress. The deputation consisted of Mr• G. Troup, treasurer ; Mr. Potter, chairman of the associa tion ; and Messrs. Bolt, shipwright ; Sweeting, iron ship builder ; Dawson, ditto ; R. Upshell, joiner; Connolly, mason ; Bryen, joiner ; and A. A. Walton, architect. The deputation was accompanied by Mr. John Hughes, the manager of the Stillwell Iron Works. Mr. G. Teoep introduced the deputation, and explained the reasons which had induced them to apply to the head of the government. Mr. G. Ponta said his lordship was no doubt painfully aware of the existing distress amongst the artisans and labourers connected with the numerous shipbuilding yards and ironworks at the east end of London, a distress that was becoming more aggravated every day, and a distress for which the men were in no way responsible, although attempts had been perseveringly made by interested and ignorant parties to throw that responsibility upon them. The immediate object, therefore, of the deputation now present was to ask his lordship, as the head of the govern ment, whether it was not possible at once to place in hand some of the intended contracts for vessels of war which they contemplated building, and to give these contracts to the shipbuilders of the River Thames. This, he would respectfully suggest, would be a practical way of removing some portion of the existing distress by giving immediate employment to several thousand men. Lord DERBY—I think, gentlemen, you have not made your application in the proper quarter. The suggestion is one which would more properly have been made to Sir John Pakington as the head of the Admiralty, whose de partment has the giving out those contracts to which you allude. I may, however, observe that the Admiralty, in giving out these contracts, are bound to do so with a due regard to the public interests. I will bring the subject under the immediate notice of my colleague. Mr. HUGHES (manager of the Millwall Iron Works) said he attended the deputation quite unconnected with the Work) n$ Men's Association, hut as a practical man, living in the district where the distress existed, and usna h y em ploying many thousand workmen, to ma tte a practical sug gestion. In the first place, he could assure his lordship the public were not aware of the amount of distress that really did exist ; they only heard of that prevailing amongst the very poor; those who, deprived of their work, had no other resource than poor-law relief, or the aid given by the local relief committees. To his own know ledge, there were thousands of skilled artisans who would suffer any amount of misery rather than pauperise them selves by accepting parish relief, and who had an almost equal repugnance to seek or receive aid from time relief couunittees or the soup kitchens. These men and their families for months past had been living on their own re source,' until at last their small savings, their household furniture and clothing, had all disappeared, and the scenes of misery and destitution he was daily wit nessing amongst the class of men he had alluded to were really shocking. These men would endure anything rather than lose their self respect by accepting parish relief or public charity. Lord DERHT—I hail considerable experience of the class of men you are speaking about during the time of the Lan cashire distress. The relief committee always took care to impress upon the men they relieved that they were not relieved as paupers ' and it was wonderful how little loss of self-respect had been engendered amongst those thus relieved. Mr. HUGHES said he had now a practical suggention to make. The company he repewnted were in the habit of receiving on the let of April, at the close of the financial year, from 9,000 to 10,000 tons of iron to be manufactured into guns and gun carriages. Now, if the government would at once give out that iron the company would imme diately take on 1,000 workmen, which would be equivalent to removing 4,000 persons out of their present distress, and he would further undertake that the company would not require from the government any payment for the work done until after the close of the next financial year. There were no doubt other firms in the district prepared to meet the government in the same manner, and thus at once mitigate the distress. He had prepared a paper con taining the above suggestions and proposals, with other details, which he would take the liberty of placing in his lordship's hands. 11r. DAws're (iron shipbuilder) said he bail been out of employ for twenty-one weeks, during which time be had maintained himself and family from his own resources, with the allowance from his trade society. His means were now exhausted. Thousands of his fellow-workmen were in the same position. Mr. BOLT (shipwright ) desired to explain to his lordship a questionconnected with his society, about which there had been much misrepresentation. It had been asserted that the shipwrights had refused to work for less than 7s. a da)-,and that in consequence the Thames Iron Company had lost a large contract. This was the real truth of the case. The shipwrights usually undertske their work by contract at a rate which made the standard wages 7s. per day. The Thames Company asked the men to undertake a contract at a lower rate than usual, which would yield but 6a. W. per day. The men mid "No ; but we will undertake the contract at 10 per cent. under our usual prices, making up the deficiency by working harder, and we will draw on account only the exact sum earned per day, whether it be 55., ss. 6.1., or GB. 61., but in no case to exceed Is. This arrangement would really have resulted in a greater re duction to the company than they had asked the men in the first place to accept, but it would have prevented any violation of the standard rate of 7s. per day, which might have been drawn into a precedent for reduction at another time. The whole number of ehipwrights that would have been employed on the contract would have been under 50. Lord DElter—l would rather not enter upon that sub ject, for, after all, it is but an isolated case, having nothing really to do with the subject of the deputation. A cabinet council will assemble in an hour from the present time, and I will lay before Sir John Pakington the sugges tion of Mr. Potter, and before General Peel the proposal and paper of Mr. Hughes and I have no doubt thosegen tlemen will take into their serious consideration whether anything can be done in the matter under the circum stances. The question belongs entirely to the departments over which they preside. After some further remarks between his lordship and some members of the deputation respecting the general distress and the working of the Mansion-house and local committees, which were generally approved, the deputa tion retired, thanking his lordship for the courtesy of his reception. The total amount reoeived for the Mansion-house fund for the relief of the distress now prevailing in the eastern districts of London was 12,147/. up to Saturday evening, and of that sum 7,435/. has been granted to nearly forty local committees. DEATH FROM STARVATION.—Mr. Humphreys held an inquiry on Saturday at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Victoria-perk, touching the death from want of Frederick Dick, aged 9 years. Jane Dick, 3, Satchwells rents, Bethnal-green, said that she was the wife of a horse hair curler, but as he had met with an accident at his work that ilisabled him, she had to support the family b what she could ern. She made 4s. a week, out o f w hi c h she laid :is. rent, and the parish allowed her 2s. lid. a week in money, and tea, sugar, Lc. Her husband was in the workhouse infirmary. The deceased had had meat only three times since Christmas last, but though the whole family lived very hard, yet the deceased had enough of bread and butter to live an. Last Monday he was taken ill ; but she had to leave him to go out to work ut wash ing, &c. On Wednesday she was fetched home, and found him dead. She could not account for his death. Mr. C. C. Richards, surgeon, said that he was called to the deceased after death. The body was excessively ema ciated. The post-mortem examination showed that the stomach and Mtestines were nearly empty ; the blood was palei and watery ; and there was not a trace of fat in the body. Death resulted from effusion of serum on the brain from want of food and other necessaries. The jury re turned a verdict—" That deceased was found dead from effusion of serum on the brain, arising from want of food." The coroner and jury subscribed 11. 14s. for the mother of tho deceased. _ IMPROVED INDUSTRIAL DwEi.urroit Costralay.— The report of the Improved Industrial Dwellings Com pany, to th an e thhaelf held at the lietehrl"eeiratestethbaet since June last 18,2001. additional capital has been sub scribed, and that the total now amounts to 63,775/. All the dwellings of the company are fully occupied, and ap plications for vacant tenements are still largely in excess of the number available. A contract has been signed for the erection of ax blocks of dwellings, comprising 108 tenements, opposite the company's present buildings at King's-cross-road. Four of these will be on the same plan as Palmerston-builtlings, in the City-toail, and two have been designed with the view of providing single room tene• ments.

This matter was before the court on the 12th January last, on an application by the official liquidator of the company for an order directing a call to be made of 401. per share on certain shareholders who had been placed by the chief clerk on the list of contributories. On that °occasion the court directed the matter to stand over till to-day, in order to enable some of the contributories, who disputed their liability to be placed on the list, to com plete their cases, and get them ripe for bearing. The court also then intimated that if those cases were not ready by this day the order for the call must be made. It was estimated that the proposed call, if responded to, would produce about 500,00 W. From that direction, however, the parties had since appealed to the Lords Justices, who, in turn, directed the matter to be men tioned to them again on Monday next, but expressed their strong conviction that the call ought to be made, and to be made forthwith. The dissentient shareholders had not yet completed their cases ; but the matter was in due course again brought before this court this morning. Mr. Selwyn. Q.C., Mr. liaggallay, Q.C., Mr. Southgate, Q.C., Mr. Jowl, Q.C., Mr. Roxburgh, Q.C., Mr. Cotton, Q.C., Mr. Turner, Mr. Swanston, Mr. Woodhouse, Mr. Bushe, and Mr. Oppenheim (of the commoh law bar) ap peared for the several parties. Lord lbomilly said that even if he bad not felt as he did on the former occasion when this matter was before him, that the call ought to be made, he should now he bound to direct it to be made. The dissentient shareholders were not only not ready with their cases— which he had thought a month would have enabled them fully to prepare—but the Court of Appeal had expressed so strong an opinion as to the propriety of the call that all discretion was taken away from him in the matter. There must, therefore, be an order for a call of 401. per share ; and the money must be paid into court on or before the Ist April next. All questions as to the costs, except those of the official liquidator, must be reserved for further consideration, but the official liquidator must be allowed his costs ont of the company's Mate. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Fria 9. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) coon nay. COON 1325. Mr. Barrow was counsel for the petitioner, the wife of a baker at Orindon, tiomersetshire, who prayed for a judicial separation, on the ground of cruelty. The mar riage was in November, 1864, and for a short time it promised favourably enough ; but at length the respondent began, as was alleged, to give way to fits of passion. in which he committed acts of extraordinary brutality. This was, however, denied, and Dr. fipinks,Q.C., now appeared on behalf of the respondent to support his plea. In her evidence the petitioner gave a dismal account of the treatment she had received at the hands of her hus band. Once when she had asked him to come to breakfast he had surlily replied that he would come when it suited him ; and on her remonstrating he had thrown her down and given her a kick which had broken the terminal bone of her spine. On another occasion be had hurled • pot of boiling water at her, and she had narrowly escaped lleing severely scalded. He had also savagely bitten her, and been guilty of numerous other acts of violence. The vritnera was severely cross-eiuunined ; but Dr. King, of limile.row, having proved that she had really sustained a fracture of the os comigia, Dr. Spinka abandoned the defence. Sir J. Wide then pronounced a judicial separation ; and the defendant, on his quitting Westminster-hall, was made the subject of a slight popular demonstration, from which, however, he freed himself by hastily calling a cab and driving off. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Me. Henry Pound, a packing.case maker in Leadenhall. street, was summoned by Henry William Hill, one of Lie apprentices, fur refusing to pay him 18s., the amount of two weeks' wages, due on the 2nd inst. The complainant stated that Mr. Pound had refused to pay him his wages because he had refused to do some work for one of the journeymen. He had told the journeyman when he asked him to finish off his work that It was not his place as an apprentice to instruct a journeyman. This made Mr. Pound v angry, and he ordered him o ff the premiaes. That was or i l'huraday. He went to the shop on Friday and Satur day mornings and offered to work, but Mr. Pound would not allow hum to do no, and when he went for his wages on Saturday night he only offered to pay him for three days' work. M•. Pound stated that some time back his men had adopted certain hours for work, and required him to sub mit to their terms. He tried the plan, but found it so in. convenient that ho was obliged to alter it, and thereupon the whole of the men left his service. He succeeded in obtaining other men, but the old workmen took every op portunity of annoying them, and the apprentices, of whom he had a considerable number, did all in their power to annoy them also. The complainant was very active in these pro ceedings, and on two occasions he refused to do work that he was well competent to perform. He admitted that the complainant came to his shop on the Friday and Saturday end offered to work, but he refused to let him in, as he disturbed and annoyed the other men. The Lord Mayor said lie had nothing to do with the strike. He thought Mr. Pound wan not justified in re fining to pay the apprentice his wages, as ho had offered to work. . _ _ An °Taer was, therefore, made to that effect. WORSHIP-STREET. John Dou, James Malley, and Jeikn green, all p ower f u l men, were charged with being oonoerned in stealing bread, the property of the contractors for the supply of the acme to the Whitechapel Union. From the evidence of a tradesman named Airseot, living in the Oil Kent-road, it appeared that on Saturday after noon, when the van containing the bread in question drew up at the workhouse, and the bread was uncovered, a mob of persons rushed across the road with violent gesticula tions and shouts of " Come on, come on ! " climbed on to the vehicle, and helped themselves to the contents, with which mos t of them made off. So sudden was the audacious act that those who were passing along, and who, in all probability, would have inter fered to prevent it, appeared paralysed. The pri soners, however, who were manifestly the ringleaders, and more daring than the rest, were taken into custody before they left the spot. lidwanl Milken, superintendent of labour, confirmed this testimony. He believed that Dow was in receipt of parish relief. In reply to a question from the magistrate, Dow said it was perfectly, true, but what the authorities gave was in sufficient. Malley and Green declared that they haul applied for food in vain, and that they were therefore determined to have it by some other means. Mr. Newton, in dealing with these men. remarked that whatever the wants, however great the distress—and this in the present case he did not believe—acts such as these could not be tolerated, and must be stopped. Dow would go to prison, with hard labour, for ten weeks; the others for eight weeks. HAMMERSMITH. Imu;rl /foil and Sarah Hatt, his wife, were summoned for impeding Josiah Morris, one of the officers of the West London Extension Railway Company, in the execution of his duty. Cross summonses had been taken out against the officer for an assault. This charge arses from the com pany having placarded their station at Kensington with printed hills, which set forth the name and address of the male defendant, and the particulars of his conviction at the police court. Mr. Daman said he had no doubt that the phicarding of such bills was very unpleasant and annoying to the defendant, and questioned very much the legality of the proceeding. If it were his case, he would either pull down the bills, or bring an action against the company for • libeL He should, therefore, only impose • fine of lid., with the costs of the !summons.

THE DWELLINGS OP THE POOR IN THE EAST ENI): On Saturday, at an inquest held by Mr. John Humphreys, coroner, at the King and Queen Tavern, Limehouee, some interesting evidence was given as to the state of the poorer districts in that locality. The inquiry was held on the body of a child five years of age, named Emma Salter Hawkins, the youngest of a family of seven persons living in • wretched wood en shed, dignifasl as No. 10, Gunn-square. The mother of the deceased said that the child was taken ill with whooping cough three weeks ago and was attended by the parish surgeon, and on Tuesday last she died. She had been very poorly fed latterly, for her father, who sold paraffin oil, was not able to earn much now. This witness said that she had no complaint to make about the place ; nothing was amiss till the very cold weather came, and then the house was so cold that all the seven members of the family, the eldest being • lad of 13, had to huddle into one room and sleep in the same bed for warmth. Then the deceased fell ill. The rent was 3a. a week. Mr. G. Hurlock, inspector of nuisances, said that he had frequently reported to she Board of Works the filthy state of Gunn-square, and he said that No. 10 was unfit for human habitutiosi. The square was a private one, and the board Bad no power to pave it ; but it had been drained two years ago, and the tenants did not complain of the landlady at all. Mr. James Gill, an ex-churchwarden, then deposed that latterly he had acted as a district visitor in Limehouse to relieve the prevailing distress ; and in that way he learned that there were habitations about Gunn-square. A more filthy hole he never went into. On Thursday week, he went into the wooden house or shed known as No. 10, and there he saw the child in its mother's arms, evidently dying front want of air and from the fi lth of the place. He sent for Dr. Orton, the officer of the Board of Health, and for Mr. Hurlock, the inspector. There was great neglect tame where. The stench of the wooden house was shocking. There were ten houses in the square, and 66 people lived in thew. Dr. J. Oren, medical assistant to the Lime house Board of Works, said that he inspected the place last Wednesday. He admitted that the wooden house contained " rather less" than the minimum of 300 cubic feet of space sanctioned by the Secretary of State for each occupant. Even that minimum was too little for health (1,200 was allowed in workhouses) ; but if 500 feet were to be required, half the poor in London would have to be turned into the streets. The housing of the poor was a very difficult problem. The top sashes of the windows in Gunn-square did nut come down ; but there were hundreds of houses where they were fixed, and, although that was illegal, he had striven in vain at the police-court to have the matter remedied. The want of ventilation consequent on the fixture of the sashes was a curse to the poor. Dr. James Edmunds, 4, Spital square, said that, by order of the coroner, he had made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased, and had inspected the houses in Gunn-square. The child died from rapidly developed tubercles on the luny, the result of some ten or fifteen days' morbid action. Witness found that the square was entirely un paved, the surface consisting of soft muddy soil, rendered impassable by the first shower of rain. There were five closets in the centre of the square for the use of the oc cupants of the ten houses, every one going to them being exposed to the general scrutiny. On the top of the dirty closets was one iron tank which sup plied the whole of the square with water by means of one tap, which any child could turn on, and he was informed that all the water was sometimes lost in that way. All the surroundings were such as would I,n:- dispose to diseases and to death. The wooden house con aided of three rooms placed on the ground, and covered with a leaky lean-to roof of a mean height of six feet nine inches. The Boors were on the earth, and were decayed and damp. One room was provided with a chimney that let the rain down, but would not let the smoke up; it was on that account principally that the whole family went into the other room during the cold weather. The walls of the house were so thin that they furnished very little protection front the frost. The third room was not a room to live in. Rabbits were kept in it. He found that the family of seven persons, counting them as five adults, had a maximum of 123 feet of air in the room in which they lived, slept, and ate. Of course, when the deceased got the whooping cough, and was therefore kept constantly breathing such vitiated air, the lungs became filled with tubercle., and death ensued. Dr. Orton said that there were hundreds of houses where the doors were on the ground, and such was the case in new houses now being built on Bow-oom mon, but the Board of Works had no power to interfere I.ffeetually in such matters. The jury returned a verdict "That demeaned died from disease of the lungs, accelerated by the unhealthy state of the house in which she lived, and the unsanitary condition of the neighbourhood." The landlady of the square, addressing the coroner, said that she could assure him so far was she from making a profit by the houses, that she did not receive enough to pay the rates. The poor people were unable to pay their rents, or even to buy bread fur themselves. - - - - MARKET& COTTON.—Ltrgarnot, Fla. a good inquiry from the trade prices are the turn dearer.

COTTON OOODS.—MancingTER, FEB. 9—The market has been quiet and depressed all the week. Prices gave way slightly— about to the same extent as cotton at Liverpool—perhaps to the extent of id. to id. per Ilk low as prices st ere, however, up to Thursday evening very little lanineso was done. Sonic huge offers were going at at still lown rates. Yesterday there was a slight check to the decline in cotton, and this causing • better feeling some of the Liners of yarns at once placed such orders as were Incoming pressing. !lost of them succeeded in purchasing at the low quotationsof the previous day, and though some few spinners were Inclined to hold for better term*, the demand was hardly mach as would have sustained them. Cloths art generally easier by id. to Id. per lb. than last week, WA are very uureniuncrative to producers. There was rather more Inquiry yesterday, and wine little Increase of husinesa, but this morning the market appear to have relapsed into quietness again. WOOL AND WORATED —llkibrolD, Fite. 9. —Theilepression sr the past three or four weeks has continued during the week which Is closing, though perhaps In a less marked degree. In this interval of quietness, the fall of wool is computed at not less than nearly 31AL per pack. The quotations are at present irregular, with a drooping tendency In moot quarters. It is diffi cult to quote prices w such an unsettled state of things, but most staplers will do business whenever they can realise Is' Ind. per lb. for cool Lincoln hogs, atnl Is. 7d. for %ether, There Is less demand for other classes of wool, and the quotations are cansequently even more uncertain. Country growers, finding great difficulty on the part of staplers to realise In this seat of consumption, are more willing to respond to the pressure, and to subserve the interests of both by tusking a concession in price—a course %hich gives fair promise to ensures, lower rengeof prices, and to serve to resuscitate the present drooping condition of the worstid trade. Worsted yarns and pieces are in a state of gl.nu and u iactivlty. In yarns, the business dime by both export and the home trade Is very small, the pun:hates bring confined to very canny lots for Ininiediate use.
