" The obscurity of the text of the 'declaration which M. neurone' submits to us is sufficiently relieved by his verbal explanations. According to your report of the conversation, before referred to, he said that both Frame and Great Britain had already announced that they would take no part in our domestic ecatemeny, and they thought • frank and open declaratioa in advance of the execution of the projected convention might save diM. culty and aliscomeption hereafter. He fir ma, in the way of imeefficatiou, that the provisions of the moventios standing aloes might bind England and France to pursue and punish the privateers of the South as pirates_ j that they are unwilling to do this. and had so declared. He said also that we could deal with these people as we chose, sad they (Elegised and France) could only exams their regrets m the seem of humanity if we Amid deal with theta se pirates, but that they could ootrapae in such mane.

TN RC wrincrert—CAßE OP A CARAT S IN THE ANN?. bankrupt was described as of Chapel-place. Caven dish-square, in the 2nd battalion of the 24th regiment of Foot. This was the sitting fur examination and discharge. The bankrupt owe" 1,764/., of which security it held for 3641. The assets consist of a life policy, put down as of the value of 701. Mr Bagley opposed on behalf of Mr. John Harbottle, army agent, a creditor for 7001., and two other creditors. Mr. Sargood supported. The bankrupt, in examitatiou, stated that he was a cap tain in the 24th, on full pay. He ma previously in the 4th and exchanged into the 24th with a view of going to India: Had been in India four years, and returned on the 31st of August last. His premed, income as a captain was about 1901. • year. Had received 401. a month when in India, and 601. • month for a short time while on General 'Medium's staff. Had borrowed 300/. from Mr. Harbottle just before his ; the money was placed in the hands of Mr. Ccx. • owed several other persons money at that time (Jam, 1856), in eluding Mesas. Hunt and Roskell, the jewellers; but he did not tell Mr. Harbottle this. Gees Mr. Herbottle 11 bills of exchange extending over three years. Nom of them had been paid. Told Mr. Harbottle that his pay in India would be mermaid, and he should be able to repay him, but bad not dove so. On leaving ladle he exchanged into the god battalion ci the 24th, by which be got about 3001. He received that in January, 1660, while in India, and paid his wife's debts, without which he could not bees quitted the country. Since his return had not been negotiating for the sale of his commis sion. The regulation price of • captain's commission was about 1,3001. His wife returned from India before him, in 1859. Since his return he had only contributed to her support for eight weeks, and he had sent her 101. from India. She was now in the situation of • governess. By Mr. Sargood—Two of the opposing creditors, the key. Mr. Bell and Mrs. Bell, were his wife's brother and mother, and Mr. Harbottle was her guardian. His pay wee 1901. a year when be was married, la June, 1817. This was knows to Mr. Harbottle. The balm given to him were signed about 11 o'clock on the night before he was married. This was done at Mr. Harbottle's request. Previous to that time he bad considered the 3001 as a gift to his wife. Before his wife left India be had great reason to be dis satisfied with her conduct. Her friends knew that. Had eases& to send her any allowance in consequence of a letter be received from her. Since his return to England had refused to receive her under his roof. Hb mama objected to this course of examination as irrelevant. good said that as he did not know what charge was to be preferred against the bankrupt, he was compelled to work is the dark. Basminatiori continued—Left Gravesend for London on the 31st October. His wife again left home daring hie &b -eases, sad be had since refused to receive her wader his roof. She bad since been residing with Mr. Harbottle. He was ontemplating proceedings in soother court for the purpose of getting rid of his wife. Did not know whether this was known to the opposing creditors. Mr. Harbuttle had sent a commueicatioe to the Hone Guards dace be had come to this court. Mr. !toeholds had breed • writ against him on some of the bills. Bat kr this debt be should hare been able to arrange with his other creditors. By Mr. Bugle Mr. Hashottle sever gave him to under stand that the 3001. was a gift. Mr. Bagley said this wee the first case in the history of the court when an officer on full-pay bad come before it to be released from his debts. The bankrupt was the bolder of • oonaminsion worth 1,303 f. ; his pay e Begland was 1901. • year ; and yet he asked to be Irma debts of 1,700/. without giving up anything. If be sow obtained his discharge he might sell his oomusissioe to-morrow, and walk off with 1,3001. in his pocket. By section 134 of the sew act, the court might direct • portion of the bankrupt's pay, with th sanction of butt authorities, to be applied is discharge of h is debts ; he crediton would prefer the ' immediate sal* of the commission. Though the bankrupt had received upwards of 2,0001. while in ledia, be had sot applied • farthing in payment of his debts ; and his modem brought him under the 159th section as guilty of unjusti fiable extravagance. Should his application be suceemful every officer in the army might set his creditors at delkoce. Mr. gargood coetended that the statute gave no authority to faros the bankrupt to sell his commission, whereby he would be sent into the world an absolute pauper, with • wife to sepporc And yet it was the friends of that wife who asked that this should be done. Many officers of the army and army chaplains had passed through the court, undo the old jurisdiction, and such • thing as the sale of their commissions had never been suggested. The bank rupt did not ask for an absolute discharge, hut was willing that such portion of his pay as the court might think tit should be set aside for his creditors, ma his becoming a major. H u Honour said he wee of opinion that there was not any evidence of such (attentions as was pointed at by the 189t h section. If the creditors wished it, he should recommend to the Hone Guards that • certain portion of the bank ' 134th rupee pay should be est aside for the creditors under the settles. Mr. Bagley said that was the wish of the creditors. His Honour said he should recommend the appropriation of tee-fourth of the bankrupt's pay. Mr. Sargond asked that • definite sum should be named. His Honour—Then let it be 451. &abject to this condition, the ardor of discharge was greats& THE MURDER OF LORD DILLOYS GAME• KEEPSI. CHAItLBURY, TRUISDAT. An adjourned inquest wan held here to-day on the body of Stephen Moulder, one of Lord Dillon 's gamekeepers, who was shot by a poacher while out watch ing in Datehley Wood on Thursday last. The deceased and another keeper, named Cult" were watching in Ditcbley Wood on the night named, when they encountered two poachers, one of whom, John Hall, turned round and shot Moulder dead. The other keeper succeeded in Mg Tucker, but the other prisoner escaped. He wa l a tu s t r; ever, apprehended next morning. Tucker has made several statements admitting that he was in the wood at the time with Hall when he shot Moulder. rue principal witness was Thomas Curtis, who deposed —l am keeper for Lord Dillon. On Thursday bat I wee oat watching with the deceased in Shears' copes. About one o'clock in the morning we heard poachers, and weat towards the spot where we beard them, and saw two men etas the ride. We followed them. When within about tea rude, the nava who wee farthest off turned round and fixed hie gun. As soon se he turned round he put his gun to hie shoulder and pointed the gun towards us, and 'red immediately it was up to his shoulder. Stephen Moulder dropped down immediately. I was about • yard from him. He was • little in advance of me on my right aide. Neither we or the poachers had then spoken. Moulder appeared to die directly. The man who shot ran him away immediately. As soon as Moulder dropped, I ran and seized the other men ;it was John Tuckey. When I had hold of him he cried out, " Mate, mate. " I took him to the shepherd's house, and while going there he said to me, "I don't think my batty meat shooting him." Tuckey did not resist much. When the man snot I thought it was John Hall. John Turkey, having been admitted as a wither, stated —John Hall and I were out poaching on Thursday night, the 19th inst., and Friday morning. We went to Shears' copse. Hall had .a gun, which I saw loaded. The birds were flying about, when I saw Hall suddenly tun round and fire his gun, awl immediately after I was collared by the gamekeeper and knocked down. Hall was about five yards in advan ce of me when he fired. The keeper Moulder was behind roe, and the shots passed me I had not heard if anyone was near us when Hall fired, as lam very deaf. I did sot know what he shot at. The gun produced Is the one Hell shot with. Hall dropped the ramrod, and I picked it up—it is the same now pro duced. As soon as Hall had fired he ran away, and jumped over • gate. Superintendent Howard traced footmarks from the gem where Hall was said to have jumped over. Along the edge of the wood found a distinct imprea.ion of the left boot now produced, and which he took off Hall's feet. Had no doubt it was made by the wee boot. Also found other impressions of both boots in the direction of Charlbury. The surgeon, who examined the body, found 72 shots in deceased's body, and eight shots had perforated the heart. The jury returned • verdict of "Wilful Murder" against John Hall, and he was removed to Oxford GaoL • RAILWAY ENGINE•DRIYERS" SHORT-TIME MOVEMENT. On Wednesday, the engine-drivers and firemen connected with the various railways in the kris 10 the number of about 200, samershied at dinner at the Halle Vim Ganleas, Manchester, with a view of conferring together on the subject of the movement recently established them for regulating their hours of labour. The subject been mooted for some time, and an effort is about to be made to enlist public sympathy and legislative interference, the argument being that the welfare and convenience of the men, as well as the safety of the public, is concerned. An Elecuinta belonging to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company presided, and all the principal railways in the country were represented. _ . The CElatitmart proposed the usual loyal and patriotic toasts ; and a Dsbaoarn from the Great Northern proposed " The Houma of Parliament." He said it was gratifying to nod that • bond of union hes sprung up amouget engine driven and firemen, arising out of the ten hours' move ment, which had been unknown before. In Leeds they I had not been idle. They bad there, at all events, the sym pathy of the public, having obtained signatures to a petition to parliament in favour of the scheme—very influential signatures, including the judge of the county court, the borough coroner, five magistrates, 95 of the corporation, 16 poor-law guardians, five barristers-at-law, 21 surgeons, 25 solicitors, upwards of 200 manufacturersand the first firms in the borough, and 60 clergymen ; the total number being upwards of 1,600 ; and not one operative amonpt them all. (Cheers.) It had been stated in Leeds that with shorter hours they should have to put up with less payment. Some of them were paid for over-hours, others were not ; but they did not desire the payment for extra labour so much as the recreation and rest to which they considered themselves entitled. He hoped that if their one came before the legislature that the members of both houses of parliament would see the justice of their demand both as respected themselves and the public. (Cheers.) In proposing "Samosa to the Ten Hours Movement," he said that he was gratified to meet so large a number of his fellow- workmen from all parts of the country, and to congratulate them that the agitation cf the ten hours movement had made them better acquainted with each other, more united in their efforts to seek the welfare of the whole body, and more hearty in the cause which they were met to promote. It bad been asked whether the ten hours movement woe throughout the country. He held in his hand firsel i from all pane of the kingdom, which would prove that such was the ease. These letters were from &idol, Exeter, Nottingham, Doucaider, Rugby, London, and in fact all the principal stations t hroughout the kingdom, all of them expressuag their interest in the cause. They were only Sifting for what other workmen enjoyed, and for what they considered themselves in their own rights and in the interests of the public entitled to. Was it tolerable that • man should not see his own family from Monday morning to Saturday night; that be should enjoy no social privileges and enjoyments, and that the public should be subject to the delays and accidents consequent on men being overtaxed in their labour? They had recently had interviews with and had communications from the member for Manchester, Mr. J. A. Turner and Mr. Bai ley, both of whom had expressed their sympathy with the position of the men, and had stated their wish to aid them obtaining an amelioration of their condition. They bad also 0000 the Hon. Algernon Egerton, 000 of the members for South Lancashire, who had also encouraged them to ventilate their grievances. Mr. Cobbett, the member for Oldham, and a well-known friend of the working classes, had also received a deputation, and had entered with deep interest into their cause. Mr. Cobbett so far sympathised wish them that be bed motioned the matter to • mettle( of his constitneate, sad he (the chairman) believed Mr. Cobliett would, if con sistent with other arrangements, introduce the saline* to the notice of the Hones of Commons. Aa inginereßn ought to be a man with full physical energy, with • clear bead, and • steady eye ; and with the momentous intonate at stake, with the hundreds of lives dependent upon hie steadiness and vigilance when he was conduct ing his train, he ought not to be so far overwrought as to be unable to perform his duty. (Cheers.) Mr. Cobbett had ix.enticeed to them the case of an accident where • railway guard, an engine ran, and a fireman, were proved to have - bean asleep when a serious accident occurred. These men were convicted and punished ; but Mr. Cobbett admitted that the question had never been asked bow many boars they bed been at work, end whether, there for*, the real guilt was not attachable to their employers rather than to themselves. He (the chairman) believed that railway directors would find it cheaper in the end to employ more hands, rather than by overworking • small staff to involve the companies in extra risk. They had the authority of a man of keen observation and high position, and • man palms better acquainted with railway manage most than any other in the country, who had moreover ridden more males on a railway engine than any other man, excepting iteginemen themselves—Mr. George Wilson— (cilisers)—in attestation of the vignettes neon airy for such rose, and the general efficiency of those with whom he had sat ; he hoped that all would skive to doom that credit, and that they should eventually obtain an amelioration of their soeditioit. (Cheers.) In proposing "The Directors of Railways," a DtLECATIE from Crews said that he believed that many of the gentle moo forming the boards of directors were not aware of the position of their servants, and also that the shareholders would find that the 20,0001. or 10,0001. they were often re quired to provide for accidents might be obviated. If thee' circumstances were well known, the interference of the legislature would not be nen:wary. The Vwx-Cuanuus, an engineman belonging to the Lon don and North-Western Company, in an amusing speech, showed that the human frame was not capable of so much endurance as a locomotive engine, bet, like the engine, it re quired lubrication, which, in the as of the human subject, meant rest- He contended that, socially and morally, men who were compelled to work undue Lours—such as railway enginemen were subject to—were placed in a wrong post tioa. The health of the chairman, and of the treasurer, Mr. James Turner, and other tenets, were proposed. DierraucTioN or A COTTON MILL SY Fill.— For the second time within the period of six years we have to record the total destruction by fire of the cotton spinning establishment known as Roach Mill, situate on the banks of the river Derwent. When the occurrence took place on the 6th of January, 1857, the mill was in the occupation of Mr. Ball ; nod the owner OD the present unfottunate lion is Mr. James Parker, of Preston. The firs on Sunday afternoon first broke out about half.past two, in the Alit spinning room, next above the ground floor. When first observed, the " duking " one of the shafts burst into dames, and on perceiving this the hands in the nom rushed out for buckets; but although only • few minutes elapsed before their return, the fire bad extended Wall the combustible material in the room. On the arrival of the firemen the whole premises were enveloped in • dense body of impenetrable smoke which effectually pre• vented their actio.l ; at the same thus any effectual opera. Lions on the of the river were frustrated by the low level of the water at the brink, and by the shortness of ladders at oommsud. Under these circumstaocrs the efforts of the brigade for the permeation of the main buddiag were unavailing. The doors one after another gave way with a tremendous crash, the rasthinery in each story bean precipitated in a chaotic glowing mass to the ground be neath. The estimated damage is between 16,0001. and 20,000/., partly covered by insurances. About 120 opera tive* will be thrown out of work by the catastrophe, which is the more to be deplored as the mill has been working full time. Besides the loss of the mill on the present occasion, sod in 1857, we understand it was also dsstrojed by fire shortly prior to the year 1802, in which year it was rebuilt. - . ti1;04:IL ISO DRAIN ItY FIRE—On Sunday even ing, about nine o'clock, sereeno were heard from Radford Cottage, in High-street. Leamington, which led to information being given to the police. Upon inquiry it was found that en elderly female, named Christians Baylis, who had been left by 'lsraeli, was lying on the parlour floor in flames. Two men rushed in and took her into the yard, where, with the sari...tame of the police, she was undressed and taken to the Warneford Hospital, where she imme diately expired. An inquest was held before J. L. liar kilt, Esq., who acted as deputy in the unavoid a bl e a b se nce of W. S. Poole, Esq., coroner. On pomading to view the body, a more shocking spectacle could scarcely be imagined. The deceased, who was about 75 years of age, appeared to have been literally burnt alive. The first wawa examined war William Rubinson, printer, of Leamington, who stated that as he was returning from church about half-past eight o'clock the previous evening, he heard a ray of fire from Radioed Cottage, which was inhabited by the deceased. lie saw no fire, hut smelt something burning, and immediately gave in formation to the police, and ran to the Visroeford Hospital. On his return he found plenty of people them. Sarah Stranger, a domestic' servant, said she left deceased about seven o'clock, and on returning she found her with a smouldering fire about her neck. Deceased only gave two groans before witness entered the room • she was lying on a hearth-rug on the floor, and that was also burnt. The house was so full of smoke that she could scarcely see deceased, sad immediately gave an alarm. Inspector Horswill stated that about half-put 8 last night he beard a call of fire, and went to Radford Cottage, where be found Mr.. Baylis burning in a fearful state, with seemly any clothe. left on her. With the assistance of neighbours, he pulled the rat off, wrapped her in a blanket, and took her to the hospital. He believed she died oa the road. The deceased was a schoolmistreas, and need to live in Packingtomplace. A mould candle, which appeared to have been just ht. was lying on the floor. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."— Riming • MIR Daily Post. FATAL ACCIDIENT.—OD the afternoon of Monday lag a fatal accident occurred at Letuoch, half-way between Crieff and Cowie, where a number of workmen were em ployed in cutting and dragging wood from the plantation. A larch tree, weighing fully two tons, had been uprooted, and the men, before proceeding to cut, bad propped the roots. While they were sawing, however, the tree fell in • direction that was not anticipated, and caught Mr. John Henderson, of Muthill, and killed him on the spot. It waa hoporibio to render the unfortunate man any senstasem, as the ter had to be crom-cut before his body could be retread. Mr. Henry Ternie, of Ternie Brothers, was proposed at a m ee ti ng o f Liverpool merchants and ship. owners yesterday as a fitting person fur nomination to one of the seats which will soon be vacant at the Mersey Dock hoard. THE POLICE COURTS. .XARLBpROUGH4ffREET. ----.. —...—.. Mr. Philip Pry. pawnbroker, Crowmstreet, was summoned by Jobs Phelps for sot ca rrying on his bushier in the mode prweeribed by act of parliament. The Brat information was for not haring a printed list of Wes of interest put up in some conspicuous place in the elsols o7 and also for not having lie name legibly written ores the door, and the word pawnbroker after it. Mr. viwhitt said there were two charges mixed up to (ether ; the complainant must elect which he would pro ceed upon. The complainant said be would select the charge for not having tho name over the door. Mr. Ed ward Lewis, of Crest Marlborough-street, attended for the defendant. _ _ The complainant said be was an accountant. He bad to redeem some property predged with the defendant, and be found fault with the excessive charge for interest. The defendant had not the word " pawnbroker " over the door as required by act of parliament, be had only the words dealer in iodise and gentlemen's wardrobes ; soil this showed that the deifendant kept a "dolly shop," and was not • regular pawnbroker. He had, however, ascertained that the defesdnot had a license to act as pawnbroker. Mr. Tyrwbitt referred to the summons, sod found the words that he (defendant) had been a licensed pawnbroker far three year,. He said, as the complainant had chosen to Mien these words in the information, he must prove them in a legal way. The complainant said be had been to the Stamp-office aemertaioed the fact. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the informer ought to have bad some one from the Stamp-o Mos to prove the fact. The complainant asked to have the matter adjourned. Mr. Tyrwhitt would never consent to adjourn an in. former's case. The informer ought to be repotted with his evidence. The information must therefore be discniseed. The next information, which also contained more than one charge, was hien' with reference to the charge of 'mein taken too much interest. The technical proof of the defendant being a plernbroker having bean defective. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he must dismiss the in wrest one, bat at the lame time be must remark that the defendant ap peared to carry oa his business in a slither irregular manner. Mr. Z. Levis said he we. prepared with a complete answer to all the matter cmiteined in the informations, but it was lot NOISII•ry to show that the charges were totally unfounded, ae the informations were dismissed. William* Jones was charged with the following robbery: William West, in the employ of Mr. Bertitt, of the York Arum, 12. Curzon.street, said that ou going into the tap-room the previous night, he saw something wider the prisoner's coat, end ea asking him what be had got, he re plied " Nothing," but afterwards gave him a quart pot. Two other measures were hers moducel, and the witness Yul they were also Mr. Bartlett's. Horning, CO C, said he found two pot., both of them having the bottoms cut out, for the convenience of doubling up. in the prisoner's posseension. Mr. Bartlett said he had had hi eye on the prisoner for some time, and had missed a number of pots. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was as organised system of robbing pubheans, who suffered severely. He (the magistrate) knew what the pots were wanted fur—they were wanted for snaking counterfeit money. The prisoner was committed for two months with hard labour.

Walter Glover, known as the carrier between Dumfries and Edinburgh, in the time of Buns, died cm Sunday last, at Ferneyside, in his Native parish of Libor ton—an extraordinary example of longevity, being in his 101 th year, having been bon en the 18th July, 1758. Of late there have been recorded the deaths of persona of front seventy to footmen years who were able to say that when children they bad men our great nor tioual Lard ; but here wee a man who was born before the poet himself, and lied frequent ormasim to meet and cm wens with him, a recollection the old man warmly treasured. When Burns wee exam= at Dumfries, rum was extensively imported there, and Glover wee frequently employed to convey it to Edinburgh. The permits on them ommions required to be signed by the poet, and, contingent ea the arrival of the vessels, them documents were often required either at • very late or a very i s e a g ri hour. Glover was wont as to state, • proof of Bart ' s rity and busiame halite, that sometimes when be used to apologies for disturbing him at these untimely home, the poet said, " Waiter, it is but my duty, and hesitate at any hour to all on me to do it: Glover and his menezion with Buns were thus alluded to at the Great Centenary Melting in Edinburgh, thel;2sth efilmeary, 1869 chairman (Lord Ardmil iaa) said—" I uedentand that we have now present among us in this gnat emendilage the rely man who raw the day which this day eidebeente—ire man slam, whet geseratious have been swig to their paves, lives to be present now who lived when Berne was ban.

He here in thin room—Mr. Welter Glover—who was the carrier between Dumfries and Edinburgh in the days of Burns, who has sem Berns, whom eye ham mat the eye of Bursa, whose mice has met the voice of Burns, whose ear lam heard the weeds of Burr." (Loud &sena) Mr. Walter Glover then ascended the platform amidst loud chews. and to the smasemeut of the audience, recited "Tam o' Minter" from beginning to end with • Moog voice, and with "due emphasis and discretion." Till within the last twelvemonth this memorable old man was in the habit of walking frequently to Edinburgh—a distance of between three and four miles ; and his chief enjoyment was sitting by the fireside playing his fiddle, which he did with con.iderable skill. Within the last two years be wrote out the poem of "Tam °Blunter " in a bold, moody, legible hand, amariagly like the poet's hand writing, and this was done without the aid of spectacles. For the last few months Time has been laying his inexorable hand upon him, but very gently, and be retained possession of his faculties, his memory especially, to the very last. It is only • month ago that be was heard to relate with peat unction sore. of his hu morous stories, end to make some Mewl observations on recent and paring events. He wee a great reeler—en en joyment of which his failing sight nearly deprived him during the last year; and he had the rare gift of remembering every remarkable event he had seen, beard, or read of since 120 was three years old. He was kindly maned and attended by his daughter—a very worthy parson, who bas hitherto main tained herself, and supplemented the parochial allowance to her father, by what she earned at outdoor labour.— ' letaan. FATAL BOILER ACCIDENT. An inquest was held a few days ago at Exeter on the body of Mary Mills, aged 19 years, who came by her death under very painful circumstances, the facts of which will be gleaned from the following evidence :—Thomas Rice Mallets, of the Ex wick Mills, near Exeter, master of deceased, said that on the morning of the 19th November, about half.put eat o'clock. he, with his family and servants, were sitting at breakfast in the kitchen, except deceased, who was standing before the stove at the fins boiling an egg, when suddenly the boder of the kitchen ranee exploded with • loud report, filling the room with steam vapour and smoke, so that they could not see each other. A man named Francis Benham, who wee sitting at the bottom of the table, went to open the door to let the vapour escape, but could not open it. The body of deceased was lying against the door ; deceased bad been blown from the stove to the door, • distance of about 11 feet. The man took her in his arma and opened the door when the steam bad escaped, He found that the stove was completely blown out from the fixture and broken to pieces, a piece about Mb.. in weight being blown over Mr. Mallett's shoulders, slighting on the table around which they were sitting. The morning was en intensely cold one, with very sharp frost, which had frozen the pipe which feeds the boiler. The boiler ia a self.feerling one ; it feeds itself from a teak near the top of the house. The steam is the boiler having no vent was the Cluse of the explosion. Deceased was immediately taken to the hospi tal, where she was attended by Mr. Husby, the house surgeon. The deceased was scalded very much about the face and arms. Deceased west on favourably until last Thursday week, when tetanus lock-jaw set in and pound off again until the following Monday, when it returned. Deceased had several attacks of it, but not severely until she died. Oa Sunday morning, the 22m1 inst., deceased died from exhaustion, caused by tetanus and the burns com bined. Is is very remarkable that deceased's father was killed by a ~goo. and her two brothers died by accidents.

An advance of Id. per lb. on Russell shoe middlings is the only change that can be quoted in prices. In foreign hides, about 7,000 River Plate and Rio Grande haws been sold at full rates.

At Liverpool the imports from abroad are liberal of wheat, but only moderate of flour and Indian corn. From Ireland the arrivals are large of oat meal, and fair of oats. At oar market this morning there was about an average attendance, but very little disposi tion was shown by buyers to operate, and sellers remaining firm, we repeat the quotations of this day se'imight for each article.
