Arßef:Troy UP THE A LDERSHOTT MURDERER. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, Thomas Jeckes, aged 19. a private O the 74th Highlauders, who was convicted at the recent reties held at Winchester, before It,. Justice Williams, tithe wilful murder of John Dickies, • sergeant of the same regiment. at Aklershott, su ff ered the extreme penalty of the law at the hands of Calcraft, the common hangman, on the gallows erected over the principal entrance to the County tool of Winchester. The crime for which the culprit forfeited his life was surrounded by circumstances of more than unlinary bru tality. The murderer, it apwars, enlisted in the army ie 1814, being then a little over fifteen years of age. He after wsrtLi deserted. ad sahmqseatly joined the 30th Regi ment, and is Aped, 1160, he was dotted and punished as a d.orter. Shortly after this he destroyed has kit, with out any known cause, and received punishment for the offeum. Recently he was tried by court-martial, and was ,entranced to further imprisonment for breaking his rifle. thi the Maki of Nov. 2:1, the pprisoner was in room No. 11. at the Aldershott camp, and decewd (who was 35 years of 5.4 e) was assisting Corporal Chhipbe in oiling the roll in the same department . T he e prisoner was standing near his owe cot, which was next to that of • corporal named Monroe. Each man hangs his pouch, with '2O rounds of hallcartridee in it., at the head of his cot ; but meu on recruit drill have no ammunition. The primed was on recruit drill, but Moores's pouch con tained ammunition. The primmer was standing between the two cots, and a ride rack was at the head of each. The prisoner, it was proved on the trial, took down his own rifle, ',Lend it by his side in the attitude of "ready," moved it backwards sad forward, and then fired it. Dickson and Campbell were both hit, and the culprit then coolly replaced the rifle in the rack. The doomed, who had his back towards the murderer, cried out, "Who did that?" Jackson replied at once, " I did, okl buy." Deceased never uttered another word, bed fell over and died Campbell recovered from the effects of the injuries he received. It wee bead that Jackson bed abstracted one mead of atomu aides from Menroe's pouch, and that be had need his own rills About • fortnight before the ticesinece Jackman was beard to say, " l'U be hanged far that sea (Sergeant Dickies) yet ; and be repeated that ea several cessiese ; and alter easamithing the brutal deed he said to several of the sere he the regi merit, I'm worry that I've been • fool to myself, or I would have shot more at yes." To Sergeant Perot* he said, "It's your turn next. and it will be dose by the 15th of next month, or before Christmas, as I have left some one behind me who will do it." At the police-station he said, " I know my destiny. I know what I have to suffer. The gave me six moths' bard labour, and now I've given him twelve." Upon the triel the prisoner declined to creas e:smith say of the witeiseee ; and when asked by the learned judge if to had anything to urge to the jury, he replied, in • firm aadaudible wake, " I have nothing to say, my lord ;" and when senteses of death was passed upon him he did not evince the slightest emote*, but, on the contrary, left the dock with a quick step and jaunty air. Since the prisoner's condemnation the inhabitants of Win chester got op a memorial, which was numerously signed, and forwarded to the Home Secretary, praying that the convict might be hanged at the camp, instead of at the county gaol, it being considered sod urged by the memo • dilate that the Wolof aiming out the sentence near the scene of the perpetration of the murder, and in the presence of the troops, might be meet salutary under the circum steams of such frequent resetitioe of similar crimes ; but from she fact of the essential taking pleat hank the decision of the flume Secretary was entirely *Avon to the prayer. The criminal has behaved himself, since the trial and coo denanatios, in the most stolid and Indifferent manlier which it h possible to imalod has steadily refused to .74. stieatios to the chaplain (the Rev. M. Rogers), tied gentlemen has extremely solicitous to awakes the miserable man to • due sense of his impeding fete. The culprit, who slept soundly throughout the me Wit, w visited about seven o'clock yesterday monies the chaplain, bawls, refused to see the reverend gentlemen at an earlier time, and he persevered in his refusal to listen to bin exhortations although he again and again sought, unavail ingly, to move him to reproduce. Shortly before eight o'clock the underalteriff, Mr. T. B. Woodham, theompenied by Captain Barber R.N., governor of the gaol, Yr. H. G. Lyfor si, the surgeoc, and the other pprvrroone authorities, entered the culprit's cell, sad t, the execatiocer, at once proceeded with his donee of violating, to which the criminal sub mated with the same coolness with which he had hitherto demeaned himself, salts the gaol clock struck eight the procession moved towardi the fatal drop. On craws( the gaol yard the culprit carnally glanced at the gateway, es the top of which the drop wee erected, sad stepping quickly ea amended the steps, the chaplain reeding the burial service. On arriving at the drop he stepped at once under the beam, the only cos unmoved amongst these who were there, and still paying no heed to the nervier far %edged, which was being reed The led act of pinhole( having bees performal, Calcraft pat the black cap over the wretched sun's Ma . and at tbit instant • bugle call essmied hem the barracks in the town. The service wee thee poesaded with, and at the awful words, " the " ke., the bolt wee drawn, and without • struggle or a sign the fatal act was over, end the hardened misread dead. =r a y enou gh se the bolt was withdraws, mother and ringing through the clear frosty eh, the cell v : bad a peculiarly mournful and Indicative ▪ that military duty oiled his comrades to their week, while the executioner performed his fearful teak, sad the culprit was hastened to his deem. The morning was pertissimly fine and clear, but the number of perms' preent did not exceed 300, of whom 2,157 were soldiers. The erthinel sae clothed in his tousers and • Naha jacket, the same in which he was tried and the body, titer hanging the usual time, was eat down and buried In the pol in the course of the afternoon. THE CONDEMNED POACHER, WALLS& A petition to the Queen has been prepared, and bas beet exhibited is Dredfard, with a view to obtain • respite or communities of the sentence of death passed at the lots pd delivery at York, on James Waller, the poacher. of Haildoe Moor, who was convicted of the wilful murder of Wm. Smith, gamekeeper. The document seta forth that taw petitioners are informed and believe that several of the witnesses who gave writhe** for the promeution ea the trial of Waller committed perjury ; that Jones horse* pare watcher, who was examined on the hied, swore that when he beard two shots fired which were supposed to have been the shots by which the deceased :trod, he saw Wailer come from Daisy's "Hrood-top his own bona*. sad that he mold see him to his waist, although this witness bad twice previesey, assoely, whim before the corium and the committing *hen% given *Menet which showed that be was is doubt as to who the =ilsiciw was ; that smo th er witness, lhopeset Meehan of Huddegefield, swore co the trial that when slier with the o ff ence far which be was hied, th e t g etter replied, "Well, it's right," whereas in a copy of pri y ikt this witness's sot taken before the commuting magielaMes. b ut by the attor n ey fur the preterit. the to the a atterem, Waller is stated by the witaem to hare made eii reply ;_ _that Sergeant Moms. Immo, of Meeston, women th e trial that Waller, when obarged with the odours, mid "It's right," although when lumen's deposition was takes before the committiog Jus tine, be did not state that Waller, when chergod, replied as ins sworn on the trial It is then alleged th a t the pi thiamin believe that the evidence given by these three WiIIMPION es the trial was calculated to inflow" and no doubt did materially Mauna, the jury in coovictieg Wallier of murder ; aad that themes evidence is estrus, and if time is gives to those triteness the lame will be proved to he Pals. ; that the penalises believe that the shot. which caused the death of the deemed were sot fired with the intent to murder him, and ground their belief oa the fact that if such Lad bees the intestine, de reseed would have been idiot in a vital pert, so as to have killed him on the spot, whereas one of the shots hit him es the hand only. The petitioners therefore humbly pray that her Majesty will be pleased, in the exercise of her royal preroptive, to respite the execution of the maid James Waller, direct as investigation into the matter alleged in the petition, sad allow time for the prosecu tion of the said three twosome for perjury, in'oonimute the seeteace of death passed epos Waller. It is reported that there is a second petition in preparation, praying simply for a commeniatio• of the sentence of death. - , Tno MCRDRIRLS IN WARWICK GAOL—The ineeution of Thompson sad Beamiab will take place in front of Warwick county gaol on Mcmday neat, Nan early hour.

FATAL AFFRAY NEAR PLYMOUTH. A murder has been committed at the new fort at Tressedle, which is the westernmost and oar of the principal forte of the new Jima of fortifications for the harbour and missal of Plymouth, and the dockyard at Devooport. It is on the coast at the west of Whitsaod Bay, and will when complete be one of the strongest fortresses in England, with • barrack attached. The contract is in the hands of the Lou. doe firm of Kirk and Parry, and the works are now in an advanced condition. There have been for many months past and still are some huudrtila of men employed on the works. Amoogst them of course there are, especially as navvies and hod carriers, a numberof Irishmen. Christ:name pre-eminently a time of peace and good will, but too frequentl men's passions end evil habits make it assume of quarre ls, strife, and too often of bloodshed. On the works at Tripods there are two blocks of huts, one of which, erected by Mr. Rice Meanie, of Plymouth, is principally occupied by Irish men engaged on the works. This block of huts was the scene of the occurrence we have now to record. It appears that the Irishmen eugaged on the works, from affects= or other circumetanose, made up parties to asiebente Christmas.

This party had made themselves jolly with good sating sad potent drinking, awl bad brought themselves to • dangeross and excitable condition, whets some difference arose between different members of the party. Johnny Suds and Allen involved themselves in the debate, and the foul words in the then condition of the men soon led to blows. Johnny Salida, forgetting the sacred laws of hospitality, and all re gard for human life in his maddened rage, caught up the poker and struck Allen on the heed • ferocious sad terrible blow by which he was stunned, sod, as the event proved, death-struck. The others present, possibly familiar with shil lelagh blows, sod " fights for love , thought the poor fellow bully struck, but had no doubt that, through an Irishman's tenacity to life, and his power of suaterniog blows, he would "get all right" again presently, and they therefore did not send for a medical gentleman, or make the police man or the works acquainted with what had taken place. There is • policeman statiooed on the works. The con tractors, in order to have civil help on any emergency, have made an arrangement as to the payment of mists, by which a member of the Cornwall county constabulary is always at band. The policeman on this occasion was no more consulted than the doctor. The unfortunate blow doe. net seem, so far as we have been able to ascertain, to have broken up the puffy. What was deemed best was does for the wounded man, and with the hope that all would be well, the remainder of the party coetinued their joililleatioe.

So far as we have been able to ascertain, the blow by which the fatal resell was produced was not premeditated. It doss not appear that there was any ill foaling between the primmer and &- amid before the unfortunate drunken wrangle on Tuesday evening. It may be presumed, from the fact of the deceased being in the prisoner's hut at the time when the fatal blow was struck, that not only was there no ill-feeliog, but that they maintained friendly relations towards each other.

The victim wee named William Carleton, a remaikably quiet and gene wally esteemed man, who had f or a b ou t three weeks been keeping a public-house in ilighetreet. Early in this dim , aces of Tuesday an inquest warn held on the body, to the premises, by Montgomery D. Nixon, Esq., and an intelli gent jury. Ihe following is the amount of what was ' elicited by the investigat'on. ' Oa the previous night two young men, Henry Harriman d Janice Griffio, after drinking some time in the public-house of Thomas Carleton, brother of the deceased, went into de seased's sloes with a soldier of the 96th, who pis his name as Maguire, of Newtrivenbutlcr, end came out in a few minutes, it being then about eleven o'clock, leaving • man named M'Manus in the house. The evidence of Harm, sad Grifflo both agreed that the soldier had sud denly disappeared ; and Griffin thought that he had either goo* back to Carletoo's or into some other house. Miss Cosner, who lives next door to the scene of the murder, wee awake after 1 o'clock, and beard • bone at Carleton's door, es of a little fighting, and • faint cry of " Murder." Her father, Mr. William Cuellar, beard a sou& upstairs in Carleton's, and in a short time one or two cries of murder, warently at the door of the deceased. Mr. Nihau and Mrs. M'Caffrey, who live in the same boom i n w hi c h C ar l eton was killed, but in a different part of it, beard no un ion:union noise at all ; but about twelve tho former heard • knocking at the hoot door, but did not hear the door opened. After three o'clock be woke up, heard moans pro ceeding from below, and woke Mrs. MUffrey. When they west dews they found the demand lying in the ball, w.th his lee is a pool of blood near the door, soother pool of blood at the door, the buck door wide open, and the hoot door uo latched. The drowsed could then speak, and asked to be tikes to bed, but objected to Mr. Mihan /Meg for his brother. He did go, however, and while he wee ggnonus the deceased called foe "Edward" and "James," no deoaed scold talk some at first ; but he evidently did net naderstand, or was aawilling to tell, what bad happened to him. One time be said he knew very well what bed happened to him, and then he dewed that anything had happened to hire. To the doctor ha appeared to have lost recollection of all that had happened from early in the_ previous evening. He sank till about 9 o'clock, and this died. Duffy found pools of blood in the hell, in the trout room up-stairs, in the garden, and in a bock kitchen. He found traces of blood on the garret stairs and in other places, and in • Lock I house were two bloody weeps of straw, as if some one bed wiped something with them. Dr. Nixon performed a post mortem examination during the impost. (The bead and face were horribly mangled and disfigured with clotted blood) One of the injuries wee • hectors of the skull affecting the brain. Thot was the isjury that elated death. Another wooed had cut the neck for six inches, and cot half-aminch into the jaw-hona The wettish must have been inflicted by an instrumeei sharp enough to make a clean cot, nod heave enough to break the skull. A short heavy sword might iio it. Captain Butler was of opinion that the blow described by the doctor WY that of • prac tise! swordsmae, and the most powerful cut • swor,lsmsn coold give. M 'Manus, who was remanded as the last left in Carletoo's booms the previous night, was present at the Inquest in custody, having been brought in by Head Cosa stable &on, of Mackey. It was considered that the evi dence did not justify his detention, so his was released and examined. He gave a eonfussd account of himself, saying he hail left Carleton's quite briber, about ten o'clock, after the young men ; that he got drunk on the road on whiskey he had in • tattle, and that he knew nothing of what he was about till he found himself in custody in the morals, for trying, with two others, to force Ids way into tlis home of people named Stewart.-IPeragenept &porter.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—DEC. 27. (Before Yr. CollUldilliODef GoalburD.) IN RE PP= The bankrupt, a commercial traveller, of Camden-town, applied for his order of discharge. His debts are 7001., of which 5001. is in respect of bills given for 'hares in • con cern called. "Tie Economic Omnibus Company." A creditor named Jones, a lodging house-keeper, opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had contracted a debt without probable means of paying it. Mr. Aldridge (who has been appointed by the Lord Chan cellor to attend to those cases in which no trade amigos* is appointed, and to act as adviser to the official sseignee), being appealed to by the court, submitted that the ease wee not one for an immediate order. The bankrupt, two days Wore be lost his situation, had incurred a liability of mot , by taking shares M a oompany, he at the time owing WO& to other creditors. Those creditors had been seriously injured by that proceeding, for he had been sued by the company on his bills, and had been taken in execution. His Honour said the case clearly came within the pro visions of the 159th section. The bankrupt had incurred debts without probable or reasonable expectation of able to pay then,. and he had indulged in rash and ba cue speculation. The order of discharge would be suspended for twelve months. As the execution creditor was the omnibus company, protection would be given. IN ES WV/DEBT—LONG HUBPINSION. The bankrupt was • licensed victualler, is Upper Bing street, Bloomsbury. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. Debts 8801.; no meets, all the property being held by secured erditare. Mr. Lows and Mr. Dark opposed. It appeared that the bankrupt had purchased two pianos from the opposing cre ditors, sod had immediately raised money on them. His Honour, alter coraulti with Mr. Aldridge (who ap peared as in the last case) said he was inclined to direct • prosecution in this case, but found that he could not do so, by moon of the offence not having been committed within three months of the bankruptcy. The case was • very bad one, and the order of discharge would be suspended for two years. replied—" Prom master's in the Brixton-road." As the prisoner was going in the reverse way to that direction, he inquired his master's name, end bow long he lived them, and he then stated that he came from Clapham. Witness was not satisfied with his statement, and he took him to the station. Upon making inquiries, he found that the roll of calico had been stolen from the lobby of Mr. Collins's shop door, where it had been exposed for sale in the after noon. IC having heat ascertained that the prisoner bad berm committed before, Mr. Deymao fully committed him for trial. THZ OMCIAL ASSIONZZO.

That resignation has now been accepted by the Lord Chancellor; and though Mr. Pennell will continue to sot in all eases at present in his office, no new cases will be takes by him as officisl assignee.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Dac. 27. Of AZ JAMBS FILISTON.-ABBAULT IT AN 011:11508D11111CTOZ The insolvent., a " Road director," in the employ of the Loudon General Omnibus Company, who was in prison, was opposed by Mr. Sargood on the pail of James Aston, omni bus proprietor, Kingsland ; Mr. Dowse supported. The question raised in the owe was whether au assault oonimitted by the insolvent on the complainant was • "malicious" proceeding. There had been a good deal of "nursing" of omnibuses on the Hi -rod, where the insolvent was stationed, and in No vember last bear, wording to Aston's account, he went to speak to one of the timekeepers on the subject, when the insolvent came up and said he would knock hie heed off, and immediately struck him. Aston endeavoured to get up to take off his coat, when the insolvent knocked him down and broke the cap of one of his knees. He was laid up for eight weeks. An anion was brought for the assault, and the jury pvs 75k damages. The insolvent got mon wittiness sad obWned a new trial, when the jury gave 801. damages, saying that his wittiness ought to be indicted for perjury. The nets were taxed at 129 f., and not one farthing of the damages or costs had been paid. To defeat Aston the insolvent got himself made a bankrupt, but the casts were not taxed, and there was no debt. Aston, as the insolvent was in prison, got • vesting order in this court. The insolvent then tiled a petition in the Court of Bankruptcy under the new law to get out of prison. His petition was dismissed, and he was obliged to Ale his schedule in this court The insolvent now gave • different reason for the assault, declaring that Anton struck him first, and they wool at it. He offered to treat "Jemmy" with a glans of ale both before sad after the affray. The insolvent had been in prison since July last. On the part of Aston it was contended that a clear ease of malice had been establis i l a i s id o =the insolvent, who thereby nuns within Me act of t. Mr. Dowse relied on the reat's examination as detail ing the correct account, and also refund to his lengthened imprtionnient. Mr. Coseatisionse Nichols was of opinion that the stack by the imolvent on Aston was without any reason. able *ZOOMS, sad therefore nislicions, and came within the particular section of the act. Where there was no pond for an attack, and where eiramidenees showed in what mode it was made, the court have held that such • complaint was proved. His Honour gave • judgment of twelve calendar months from the vesting order in Beptember. THE POLICE COURTS. MAtigaIOfLOI79II : I3TREIIT. _ Navy Awn Smith wee brought before Kr. Tyrwhitt for anal INClailltiiolll, charged with attempting suicide. When the griever was Rot brought to the court she slated that she had been driven to the dream in othsequence al the ill-nesse of her husband. Mr. Tyrwhitt said be had received a letter from Mr. Jerboas, the chaplain of the gaol. which gave • difiennat eomplezion to the use. The chaplain staled that the woman on ber own confession was given to habits of drunkeimeas, sad that it was in consequence of this propen sity that her husband occasionally chastised her. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough•street, hoped to be allowed to say few words on behalf of a hard-work ing deserving man, the hothead of the prisoner, wbo was likely to be prejudiced by the pnimous statement of the woman, which had received publicity in the papers. The husband held a situation at the Marylebone bathe, and he would be likely to is it unless the story told by his wife was shown to be entirely without foundation. The wife had more than once attempted to commit suicide when under the influence of dnnk. She made no scruple of pawning everything she could lay hands on to gel money to take to the gin thop. Her children were Deglected sad starved, sod the lodgings stripped of every portable article. The husband wee a hard-working men, but all he could do was theahleient to keep his wife to sober and industrious habits. The prioaer declared that she would amend her life from this moment. She would never more get drunk or neglect her children. Mr. 17;;Iiitt mu' 1 it wu no wonder that a hushitail who found Ma home and children neglected through Ms wite's drunkenness should lose his temper. He would discharge her this time, ia the hope that she would keep her promise of ammulassat. The laadkied of the house gave a piti►ble elatement of the starving and waned condition in which the four ehildree of the womb were kept LAMBETH. Williams Bennett, a jearneyman printer, was charged before the Hon. G. 0. Horton with wilfully and wantonly breaking a square of glass, of the value of half-a-crows, in the passage or corridor leading from the grand transept of the Crystal Palace to the railway station. Inspeetor Baled mid that, niece the directors of the Crystal Palace had determined on prosecuting at the @vi deos for all offences committed there, the diminution in robberies was most marked, and be might instance the day before as a proof, for though there were present very nearly 40,000 visitors, not a single case of robbery wee reported to have taken place. He was sorry, however, to say that some mischievously disposed ponces like the prisoner resorted to the wanton o ff ence of breaking, the windows and doing other injury to the pro perty et the compauy ; and in order to prevent a repeti tion of these wanton outrages, the oompany_ hoped their worships would deal out such a mead of pushiness; to the parties brought before them ca their offeocee deserved.

The charge against the prisoner was abundantly proved, both by • constable and one of the gardeners kr the employ. ment of the company; and the defends eel up was, that his elbow bad been forced through the glass be the crowd. This was disproved ; and it was stated that the excuse made by the prisoner at the station-hone was that he had brakes the glue to admit air. Mr. Hood here remarked that there was another charge which be wished hie worship to bear before giving his deni als in the came. remezer Barr, a respectably•dremsed young man, who deseribed himself as • clerk, was next charged with break ing in the panel of • door leading from the pleasure grounds into the passage before mentioned. The prisoner denied the charge, though there could not be the slightest doubt, for the constable on the inside caught bold of his foot on his sending the panel through. Mr. Norton oerved that persons usually went to places of amusement for enjoyment, and not to commit act. of wanton mischief. Such conduct could not be tolerated, and the prisoner Bennett must pay a penalty of 10 'W hops, in aldition to the amou n t of damage (half a crown), or be imprisoned for twelve days ; and Barr 20 antilop 17, and 10 shillings for damage, or be imprisoned fur WANDSWORTH. •S a geased John Armstrong, was brought before Mr. es remised, charged with stealing 60 yards el daft. regierty of tfr.

A noteworthy feature is the increase in the exports of woollen and worsted manufactures, which arises probably from the demand on account of the Federal army. The same cause has probably influenced the exports of hardwares and leather manufactures. Those of haberdashery, linen yarn, and some kinds of machinery, have kept up well.

I used to see Mr. Windham almost every night in the neighbourhood of Jermyn.street. Duke-street, and the Haymarket. I have seen him at night-houses three or four times • week. He was generally in company with prosti tutes, and shouting arid hallooing. I have not seen him wares for *liquor on more than two or three ones. aims. His conversation was always eighty. He would call me old fellow, and ask me to come sad have • champagne dinner with him. He told me when be came of age be would treat all the police. He was always very excitable. I treated him as I would a school boy. I was on duty in July, 1881, at the Wimbledon shooting meeting. He got on the knee at the gateway, and made a disturbance. My attention wee called to him by persons on the ground, and I got him away, and saw him to his phaeton. He knew me very well. On one occasion, when the police were crossing Jermynatreet, be drove a phaeton through the men at a furious rate. I fol lowed him to Duke-street, not knowing till I got there who it was. When I remonstrated with ham be said, "Oh, it's all right, old fellow, it's only me." Finding who it was, 1 took no further notice, for I always looked upon hint as • man of unsound mind. I met him one morning in Jerrayn street about 12 months ago cryiag like • great child. Sums girls were following him. I wanted him to wipe his hoe, but be had Ito handkerchief, and I took him down • bye street and wiped his face, which was ell in • slobbering state, with my hauilkerchief.

Many young men frequent those houses. I hare seen him at such houses three or four fitness week when I hare been oo night duty. Mr. Windham did what other young men do who frequent those night houses ; that is, treat the women to ch.impagne and some times make a noise. It wan ten o'clock when he drove through Jur rank and scattered my men. He was driving two hones, and at • very furious rate. I think it probable it was shoot the time of the Derby or the Ascot races, but I caa't As the date. I did not know till then that he lived in Dukestreet. He was using disgusting language at Wimble don as the carriages entered. It was about race time that I saw him in liquor. I saw him three or four times a weak when I was ou duty during the 6rst half of the year 1860. By Mr. Chambers--I cannot speak positively to the period when I used to see him, for I have no memorandum of it. I saw him frequently when I was on night duty, which was not always regular. He did sot act like the other young men who frequent the night houses. He would make noises which they did not. He would howl and shout, and make a noise like a dog or a cat, making • merri ment for the people who saw and heard him. He treated the women at the night houses like other young men, but they ridiculed him more than they did other men. U I had heard he had committed any act of extravapoce or wrong I should not have been surprised, for 1 thought Its was not light in his head. The inquiry was then further adjourned.

COTTON GOOD& Mammixerven, Dec. 27. — Since Tuesday the business in cloths has been on a very small scale, and notwithstanding the excitement in the Liver pool cotton market, and the advance in cotton and in yarns. buyers here are unwilling to give anything over the rates of Tuesday, and the week closes very quietly. The market is quite as gent as on Tuesday, but not so active. Higher rates are 'eked by mailers, though not given by buyers. In the yarn market there has also been a very small business. Cotton has advanced Id. per lb. during the week, and spinners are asking a corresponding advaoos of Id. per lb., but buyers are not disposed to give it until they are a little better satiated of the prospects of peace. Prices are fully sa high as on Tuesday. CORN.—Csautaroaa.

Since Sunday week, however, the weather has been dry, and in consequence al the keen frost which set in on Thtunday, the river is much smaller, and the water reduced to nearly the usual limits. Owing to the heavy spate the salmon have run up the smaller streams, and have deposited their spawn. There is little doubt that if the weather continues frosty much of the spawn will be Idt dry, and eventually be unproductive. On Thursday and Friday numbers of salmon passed through Perth-bridge, up the river, and as the season is not yet alto gether what is called late, there may be a good spawning season, notwithstanding its unpropitious commencement. As a proof that the fish have not come up early during the present close season, it may be stated that about ten days ago, when fish were attempted to be caught at the mouth of the Almond for the purpose of taking their ova for the Stormont-field Ponds, none were captured, esoept a splendid salmon of about 31:01b. weight, iu fine condition, which MIS of course returned to the river. During the present close season the watchers have nut seen for many year. last so few attempts at poaching on the T•y and its tributaries, which is doubtless to be ascribed to the efficient system of watching under the superintendence of Mr. K. Rust, who is about to retire, after 33 years' active servies.—Pertk Courier.
