Captain Hy. W.Tyler, the government inspector, having been sworn, fir asked to give the jury any information he might thinl proper :is to the Mink% of the accident or 111.12 the reek tire, which would enable then, to 00WO to a correct conclo.ine. Ile said - The impreeion made upon me is that the primary mum of the accident is the general want of eflicirucy in the system by which that portion of the line hetet. n Brighton and llareock's.eitte has been worked. The position of the line is on which the view of an engine-driyer is much obstructed by the curves, cuttings, and bridges over the railway and loy two tunnels. I con sider that to work a line of this description with safety it is poverty that an interval of space, instead of an interval of time, should be preserved between the trains. The only security that was afforded was an interval of time, and timt interval appears in many cases, sod in the present ii.stance, to bays deco insufficient. One tunnel on this portion of the line was protected by a telegraph, but only one no edle was tried, and at was, therefore, not possible to fluidic• the system of blocking the needle over the line blocaid wb. u a train was in the tunnel, which affords the ' best no oiis of safety under such ciretimstancie. The signal men irtio., therefore, obliged to trust to their memory and to the nsunnmiratious which passed between them upon this oee needle is regard to one or both lines of rail , way, as tile case might be. There appears also to have been a want of record books kept by the station-master at Fla ightoo, or in the huts at the end of th e - tunnel. Whilst coosidering this general want of efficiency in the systeni of working the line between Bright.° mat Hassock',-gate to have been the principal reuse of the accident, it is evident that the mistake which wail made under that system by one of the signal men at the tunnel was u secondary cause of the accident, and that the short interval. of time at which the trains ran use after the other materially contributed to its production. There were other cm idritaitieg muses in the hacking of the second train after it was trot brought to a stand iii the tunnel, and in the sou-working of the distance signal at the north end of the tunnel on the passage of the first of the three trains, which aho had their effect in leading to the accident. You have heard the evidence given by the two signalmen. I don't know who then it would be desirable that I should review that evidence. The Coroner—l think it would. You understand the system of telegraphing. which I do not. Tykr—As I understand that evidence, the two sigedieen *pee as to the paring of the first train, and to the sigmas that were given as it mitered at the one end of the tunnel sad passed out at the other end. There are two points in which their evidence is conflicting. The first is that the signalman at the south end state" that he sig. nailed to the man at the north end " train in," for the wood train " was quick as lightning," to use his own expreenon, after he received the signal "train out" for the first train from the signalmau at the north end ; whilst the signalman at the north end states that a minute elapsed between his "Mist "Train out " for the first train aid temente " Train in " for the second toile. But the amend point us which they differ is a more important one. The signalman at the north end alleges that he received no message front Ni, signalman at the south end until the one message was sent to him in the latter part of which the col lision was reported, though he admits that in the first pert of that message he uodemtood a question to be naked as to whether the train was out of the tunnel, which he believed to apply to the first train, whilst the wood train was in the tunnel, and after he had already re. ported the first train had gone out of the tunnel. The signalmen at the south end Attics on the other hand that More lie admitted the third train into the tunnel he inquired from the signalman at the north end whether the mooed train had passed out of the tunnel, and that be received a reply in the affineative, which induced him to tern his distance signal to all right for the ieseage of the third train. And I think it is important to observe that the evidence of the signalman at the south end has been coatirreed to some 'steal by that of the lad who saw him waving his white flag at the mouth of the tunnel, and by that of ono of the guards of the second train who saw his distance signal turned to danger as lie passed him. In reply to questions from the foresee Captain Tyler said some tunnels were protected move efficiently than the Clayton tunnel, but in some cases the protection of tunnels in this manner at all had not been observed. Some tunnels were more efficiently protected by the system of blocking the neeilks over of " train clear" or " train on the line," instead of trueting to the memory of the sigualmen. As far as his experience went, the time during which the signalmen were employed without relief was a hstuil one cm railways. Ile was sorry to say that frequently the rasa were worked more than 12 hours. Five minutes was the usual minimum on all railways, five naiades of danger and five of caution after the peeping of the train, bet that rule hail many exeeptions. Where a lime was so moth obstructed as this line from Brighton to Hassock's gate, if the line was worked by intervals of time, the five minutes was quite little enough to allow; an d perhaps he might observe that he thought, in working this portion of the line from Brighton to Ha sock's gate, it was very desirable that, instead of having sigu.ilmen at the two ends of the tunnel, there should be one signalmen at Haseock's-geth, mid one or two, according to the extent of the traffic, between Hassock's-gate and Brighton, in order that the line might be worked by telegraph, and an interval of space secured between the trains. He might add that in order to work a tunnel or a portion of rail way efficiently by telegraph, it was desirable that three needles should be employed when the line was doable, one needle to he blocked over iodopendeetly for each line of railway, sad one Needle to enable the signalmen to cons amaicath with each other in regard to the descriptioa of the Maim, or for soy other net-mean purpose. Be the Jury-1 don't think it possible to stop straits going at the rate of the excursioe train within the spate of yards, as stated by one of the withering. The state of the rails would make a material difference, hut, taking the en— manstancee of the hoe, ad supposiog the rail to be in good condition, it thing a fine morning, I should sot think such • train could be stopped in less them 700 yards. I have visited the lineal themet where themoideet happened, cad (mad it is pretty geed working order. But there was an amount of vertical meth= I. the horlacialal aide bar of the signal which would aceonet fee Oa aot limiting occa sionally ; tad it is • demeirticiabf signal which ought to have been oiled ocassimally, and otherwise Weeded to. instead of beteg left m it wee, unattended to. I saw nothing about it which would prevent a ream turning it oar with his bead. Wheel theme three trains cams awn Kellick se rapidly. I do nut see anything that should bare agitated him to Inertia his perfi.rn.ii.g No doubt lie was mom. what confused by his i.igna! not workintaa he expected. B ut th en was nothing t o pre vest his turning it on. I can understand if, when the mcouil toile came up, and he tried to put on the signal, it would not then work, ho might lace become agitated. I think it ought not to have been pee silde that such a thing as trains starting at such abort internals as we have htsird in evidence they did start, should have occurred without the traffic manager. I would not do away with the fixed distance signals, wino I say I would recommend the adoption of working by telegraph. I would ;rave telegniphic stations at stated distances, but would do e way with the telegraph at the ends of the tunnels. I believe Whitworth's signal Lu been very successful, ex cept in t►is one instance. The breaks in use on the Brighton hue are the ordinary breaks : but there is a better de scription of breaks, continuous breaks, by which one man can put a break upon several carriages at awe. Ido not think the signal box is oe the wrong side of the line. By Mr. Faithfull—All railway accident, that ere inquired into by the Board of Trade are reported, and returns made to parliament. I have not bees called upon to examine into more than one accident ou the Brighton line ledore this, and that was IA accident which occurred Nome time ago at the Brighton station. Ido not know of any other accident having occurred on the lice. Ido rot know of sue excep tion having been taken by the railway department of the hoard of Trude to the rule which Prescribes live minutes as the minimum interval between train& The Birmingham tun nel of the London and North Western is worked upon the system of three or four needle., which I have Te e..miner:Ord, and I consider that and the South Leitern tunnels are better worked than those on the Bright , * line. I have always looked wpm the Brighton ass very well signalled line, and have always uu del...toml that great pains were taken with the signalling. Neverthsli , e I consider the system defective as regards these tunnels. Mr. -Nines S.ott. deputy cheinnam having come Mtn the room while the coroner wu reading over Captain Tyler's eviiknce, The Coroner, after explaining the proceedings which had taken place during the day. relative to the documents which had been ordered and refused. asked him his address, so that he might be served with a subpena to attend another pin- Mr. Stott stiiteil that Mr. Faithful] had made no report to tbeisenl, but he had Leen instructed by the board to eon. duet the proceediugs on the pert of the company, and the hoard hail every confidence in that gentleman. At the same time the director, were most anxious to give every informa tion in their power. (Hear, hear.) He knew- nothing of the reports in question, and could not say whether they were of • nature which would justify their production. The Corooer stated that hale object was to raise the ques tion before u higher tribunal ; but he bad been so far de feated by the secretary stating that the documents were not in his custody, but io that of Mr. Faithful]. Ilia only course was to subpena all the parties till he could get at the right. Mr. Scutt, haying expressed his willingness to answer any questions without agaultpietta, wee at once sworn and examined. I■ ausweeto the Coroner, he said—Mr. Faith full is the company's solicitor. The papers referred to are not under my control, nor can I call upon Mr. Faithfull to Produce them. I have not seen them, nor em I acquainted in any way with their contents :. . . Thy Corooer (to Mr. Faithfulh -Will you baud them to Mr. Meott, that he tni. .00 what they are? Mr. F.iithfull- 1 &alio* to do au. The Coroner—CairWiTtrill me 4;ho nail power to direct 11r. Faithful l to produce them l--The board at large ; no other authority. NO individual member could do so. In reply to further queetioes, the witness added that Mr. Faithfull would act according to his discretion. The Corener—l hold the office of coroner, and 1 have no funds at my disposal to try the question, and have no means to raise it except by committing Mr. Slight, or who ever the prole , - parte may be--a course which lam most reluctant to take. Will you bring the question under the notice of the heard if I adjourn the inquiry till after the next keel day. and let me have an intimation of their de tilde° If the board decline to order their production, then I wish them to depute some ',croon who will come here with the documents and " I have them, but decline to produce them." so that I may take the steps necessary for raising the question. And I hope that person will not be Mr. Faithfull. Mr. rioatt could give DO assurance beyond thin, that he could hi lug the niatter before the bwtd , arid let the coroner kuow the ?vault. The inquiry was then adjourned accordingly. Some amnieroent was created in the evening by the ap pearance of a second edition of the Globe, containing a telegraphic message, dated Brighton, 2 o'clock, stating that Mr. Frederick Slight had just been committed to prison for not obeying the coroner's order to produce the papers de• minded of him. Our report shows that the telegram wee forwarded without sufficient foundation ; hot it seems to have alarmed the authorities of the railway iu London, and brought down Mr. Scott, the deputy chairman, by special train, who entered the court some time befuic the pro ceeding* were adjourned. THE ACCIDENT (N THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. The deceased, whom the jury had to view yester day, by the law in virtue of which the coroner's authority exists, and which compels the ritual corpuris, were as follows :—Elirabeth Allen, Mary Seals, Rhoda Bowler Oliver, John Yeoman, Edward Hill, Eva Stacey, Richard Saunders, Sarah English, two boys named Greenwood, and Charles Standing. The jury, of whom Mr. Wiodtworth was selected as foreman, having been sworn in, The jury first maw the body of Mrs. Allen, which lay at the workhouse opposite. She appeared " calm in death," no bruises awl no discoloration telling the cause of dissolu. tine. But when the jury came to view tho bodies in the hospitals, it was indeed a sickening scene. We will not enter into details, which could not but be re volting, but iu the progress through those rooms where the dead were thus for a neouarf purpose exhibited, there was perhaps gleaned for the inexperienced Nome knowledge of tho fearful portent of a phrase too often penned and lightly word over -" a railway accident." There lay th e victims, gashed and horribly maimed, with features so battered in that nous were scarcely recognisable, and limbs and bodice so lacerated that one could not have imagined they could have existed even for a moment, had they not received that particular wound which medi cal men with a higher knowledge explained to be the cause of death. One body at one hospital—the Royal Free, in Gray's-inn-road ; three human beings (two of them mere childrenl lying side by side at the Middlesex Hospital, were all woefully disfigured. Then at the University Hospital, which has borne the burthen, there was a ghastly sight—six bodies so maimed and disfigured that recognition would ap pear to be all but impossible, lying in one room, and another poor piece of clay outside, having, like the others, been eased of its tortures, for from roma his legsdepended ,huge piece of flesh expaing the shattered bone. There could but be one feeling uppermost in the minds of those who saw these corpses— a timakfulness that Providence bad released them from agonies unendurable. Some lay calmly and placidly. One boy--one of die Greet woods—although much con' timed about the face, seemed to sleep as quietly as when he lay on his little bed in the full vigour of him life. But opposed to this there were contortions of the countenance sod such a shattering of the limbs u defy description. The jury then proceeded to the scene of the accident, and made a most minute investigation, without, however, eliciting arty further information than that already given to the public. On their return the inquest was proceeded with, at the Prince of Wales, Harmood-street. The Coroner observed he would now simply take evidence as to the identification of the bodies.

On the morning of the 2fith August he met the primmer and another girl in the Haymarket, and went borne with them to 29, York-street. He went to bed with the prisoner, the other girl being in the room, and put hie watch under the pillow.

He then Lowe information to the police, and the prisoner was apprehended, and in bee possession were a locket, which had been attached to thewatch, sod his penknife. The prisoner said be had given her the things in teed of money, but he denied it, sa be Maid oho and her comp,.nion took him home at his request for love. Dcaglas, 44 11, took the prisoner into custody. She said she was a fool, and did take the watch, awl had the locket in her purse, but the prosecutor haul given it to her instead of money. Her companion had not been found.

Lode, baring been before then convicted, and also since his return. The female had been sentenced to 12 months for highway robbery, and the boy had not been convicted before, but had been led and tutored by his brother in a course of thieving. It was stated that the elder prironer had got his young brother out of a situation to send hint out pocket picking. His lordship said it would be impnasible to overrate the enormity of the crime of the prisoner Crawford, who had taken away his own brother and trained him up as a thief, himself no doubt receiving the plunder. He should pass upon him a revere sentence as an example, which was that be be kept in penal servitude for 10 years. As to the female, the sentence upon her was two years' bard labour, and with reaped to the boy the nowt would adopt a course I which, it was hoped, would make a man of him. The sea ' hence upon hint was two months' imprisonment, and three years in a reformatory. Mr. Dickie said lie thought the conduct of the officers in the came—Sergeant White, 16 D, and Ackrill, 4d F—very creditable to them. Ho lordship said, if he had the power, he should order a reward, and he felt bound to say that the officer, Sergeant White, had, as he always did, given his evidence in a clear and creditable manner, and he deserved praise for the way in which he had conducted this clue.

It appears that Sergeant Frost was in the act of raising the " cease firing" flag, when • bullet from • rifle came is contact with the mantlet, and, rebounding, passed right through the palm of his right baud. The poor fellow wee immediately atteeded to by his comrades ; and al=the wound wee • wiry serious one, he walked to the of Mr. gore, surgeon to the corps, in Parketreet. That gentleman eoseidisred the case one for the inarmary, and forthwith directed him to proceed to that laseitatioe. The serprat seeordiagly islet them sad was speedily attended to.

M twt.n was brought before the Lord Mayor yeater -16%, charged with being found concealed under • bed in the !nave of a coffeehouse-keeper, 48, Leadenhalbstreet, for the purrxiee of committing& felony. The prisoner, it appeared, went into the house in the even ing, and asked if he could have a lodging, and after sitting in the coffee-room seine time, he was shown to his room by oue of the sei yenta, having first paid Is. Shortly afterwards the servants went up to bed on the floor above that ou which the prisoner was to have slept, and one of them happened to look under toe bed before getting in, when she saw the prisoner concealed there. She went down stairs and told her master, and • policeman was seat for, who found the prisoner in his own bed appa rently asleep, and he denied having been upstairs. He was taken to the station, and on being searched a duplicate relating to three bagatelle balls was found upon him. The hells were produced by the pawnbroker, and were identified by a person named Christopher Shelton, landlord of the Ship, in Wardour-street, who said that the prisoner slept at his house on Thursday night, and after he left the neat morning he mimed the sheet which he slept in and some other articles, together with the three bulls produced. The misoner was sentenced to three months' hard labour. GUILDHALL. Af,;i 0, a potnian at the Lamb and Lark r a l4 l li: a Louse, in Printing-housestreet, Hlackfriars, was c with robbing the printers at the Time, office. Henry Wm. Bull, • compositor on the Times, said the prisoner was in the habit of bringing refreshment to the office, and in consequence of some suspicion he entertaired relative to the disappearance of various articles from time to time, he marked two penny pieces, and placed them in the pocket of his coat, which was hanging up at the end of the room, and in aboutun hour after the prisoner entered and proceeded to collect the empty pots, when witness saw him go to his coat, and on looking for the marked money immediately after be found both pennies gone, sod at once accused the prisoner of stealing them. He did not deny the charge, but instantly gave up the marked coins. teveml other persons bad missed things from their coat pockets, but this was the first time he had lost anything. . . . . Police-constable Moore, .94:4 said he took the prisoner into custody, and found on him a silver-mounted rutty pipe, which had since been identified by a person employed on the Times as his property. He then went to the prisoner's room at the Lamb and Lark, and there found seven other pipes. He also ascertained that the prisoner had sold a pipe to a compositor in the same o ffi ce for 3s. lid. and another pipe, which the purchaser gave in exchange. Thomas Derry, an apprentice compositor, identified the silver-mounted rutty pipe as his property. It was safe in his pocket at 2 o'clock, and at ten minutes past it was gone. Albert Della Gana, atereotype.fouuder. employed at the Times, said he went to the lamb and Lark to get some re. freehment. He purchased of the prisoner the meerschaum pipe produced. He gave him his old pipe, which coat him and 3s. tid. in exchange for it. Wni. Collins, a compositor on the Troy. , said the nicer schimin pipe produced by the last witness was his property, and the value of it was 1/. sa. He missed it from his coat pocket about six o'clock in the morning, and the prisoner had been in and out of the office all through the night. On the following morning he missed another pipe, which the officer had since found in the prisoner's possession. The landlord of the Lamb and Lark said the prisoner had only been with him a fortnight, but he received an excellent character with him, and he also found be had received the best of characters for ten months' service on board ship. The prisoner was committed fur three months with hard labour. CLERKEN WELL. Ch.,rlca Lane, a young fellow about 21 years of age, a bricklayers labourer, was charged before Mr. Knox with being a deserter from the 14 Royal East Middlesex Militia, stationed at Hampstead. The prisoner enlisted into the above regiment, and having received 10s., part of his bounty . money. he was ordered to attend and undergo 21 days' training. This he failed to do, and had kept out of the way ever since. From the state ments mule by the sergeant in attendance, it appeared that it is the practice of persons like the prisoner, when the militia are called out for training, to enlist in one regiment, and as soon as they receive the bouuty . mouey, to desert and enlist in another regiment, thus obtaining the bounty money twice instead of once. It should be known that by the 22nd and Wed Victoria, see. 12, deserters may be tried by court-inertial, and punished according to the manner pro- vided by any act in force for puuiahing deserters, but no punishment shall extend to the lees of life or limb "or such deserter may, whelever he is apprehended or witbiu one month thereafter, be tried summarily by any justice of the peace, and upon summery conviction shall forfeit and pay any sum not Ices than 40e. and not exceed. 201. ; and in default of payment shall be committed to the common gaol or house of correction, to be imprisoned, with or without bard labour, for any time not less than two months, and not exceeding six menthe." The prisoner said Its got the worse for liquor, and did not like to attend again, as he was afraid of being punished. The sergeant stated that had the prisoner attended even a day or two afterwards he would not have been punished. Mr. Knox said the punishment he should inflict would show the prisoner and his like that they could not tamper with the tallish' authorities. The militia were enrolled for the defence of the country, and such practices as the pri. sorer had been guilty of could not be allowed. He should order the defen d ant to pay a line of 51., or in default to be imprisoned and kept to hand labour in the House of Cor rection fur two caleudar months. The prisoner, who said he had sot live pence, was sent to prison. MA RLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Johnstone waited on Mr. Hendon as the claimant on behalf of his sister, Min Frederica Johnstone, for her pop trait, in the hands of a shopkeeper in this neighbourhood. Mr. Colletti, the solicitor for the Italian artist CoMimi, the defeadaut in the case of yesterday, here interposed, and theapplication was then taken into the private room. On the magistrates return to the court Mr. Johnstone and a rela tive, Captain Johnstone, withdrew. Mr. Nosetta, frame-maker, of Oxford-street, then said he appeared in consequence of a sergeant of police calling on him and demanding to know by what authority a picture iu trusted to him had been removed, whilst a gentleman who acoompanied him, Mr. Johnstone, then told him he was in the position of a man who had committed a theft or felony in this matter, and the parties then left. The officer, as he afterwards found, for he was not in uniform, came back, and be (applicant) asked if he had come to take him in charge! The officer said he not resort to such a step as that, but would recommend him to be here in the morning. In answer to the inquiry how the portrait of the lady came into his possmaion, Mr. Nosotti said he had allowed the use of his van, on being applied to, for the removal of the picture from Mr. C,ollucci's residence to hie own premises, with a view to 04 production at this court if necessary, an d be should be glad to know what he was now to du with it, for both aides claimed it. . . . . . Mr. Besdon suggested that it should be handed over to the police until tlic real ownership could be settled. Mr. Colletti objected to this on the part of his client, who he said had not been paid for it. Mr. Nosotti said that being so he should not like to part with it at present, sod all he wished for now was, the pro tection of the court that he should rot be again annoyed. Mr. Beadon said he might rest assured he would not be. Mr. Nosotti thanked the magistrate, and left the court with Mr. Colletti. ••••—• It was understood the portrait would become the subject ul an action. MAKYLI.:RONE. A gentleman applied to Mr. Yardley for his advice under the following circumstance': He stated that • few days ago he saw an advertisement i• a daily paper, which wax to the effect that • pair of horses would be sold at th, Repository in St. Martin s-lane. He went there and saw the owner of them, who stated that lie was too late to have them inserted in the list of the sales that day, but that he was willing to part with them. Mr. Yardley—NY hat sort of a man wax lie! Applicant—He had the appearance of being a farmer, and said that be had a farm at Bishop Stortford. He warranted the horses to be sound and in ?mod condition. Mr. Yardley—Did you buy the horses! Applicant—l did, your worship, and gave him 43/. for them. After they were in my stables I found that they were not sound, and were not in good condition. I wish for your worship's advice, to know what I am to do in the matter, and if I should give the man in custody when I tee him. I have taken this step as • caution to other _ _ Mr. Yardley observed that if the presumed farmer repre sented himself as living at Bishop Btortford, and that there was no one there of that name, he might charge him with obtaining money under false pretences ; but if he bought the horses judging from their appeAranco and from that of the men that his story was true, he might proceed against him in a court of law. _ . Applicant remarked that he believed the statement of the man, who also induced him (applicant) to believe lie had a load of bay neer the Repository. He had written to Bishop Stortford and discovered that no person of his (the man's) name was known there. Mr. Yardley finally advised applicant to apply to his soli- citor. Applicant said he would do so, and left the court. LAMBETH. Thomas Thomas was charged with violently horse ‘rhippiug Thomas Johnson, a guard or conductor to one of Main I cars, travelling between Weatminstertiridge and Kennington. The complainant said that on the evening before, while the oar of which he was the conductor was proceeding on its journey from Kennington-moss to Weitminsterliridge, the prisoner got his cart on the mils in front of him and kept on at a walking pace. He called to and asked him civilly to get off the metals on to the mad, so as to allow the am to gess. as it had to perform its journey in a given time. He took not the least &.e.l, but if possible moved slower th an before. He (witness) then went alongside defendant's vehicle to get the name of his motor, which was painted on it, when defemlaut corn mooed lashing him with his whip as hard as he could. He also whipped his horse so that he very newly jumped upon witness, and would have done so if he had not been very active. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was on his proper side of the rued, and there being a quantity of rough stones near the spot where be was ordered off the rails, he refused to do so for the moment. Mr. Elliott said defendant's conduct was most improper, so I soovictei him in • penalty of 125., or in default to 12 days imprisonment. William Adana, described as a tradesman, of High. street, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Self., charged w i th smuggling 2lba. 14 oz. of foreign manufactur e d tobacco.

He alm searched him in the station-house, and found cigars in a belt round his body. There was :11b. all but two ounces, and the value and duty were about 11. Ifs. Mr. Selfe—The prhoner appears to toe to ben regular contraband trader, aud I hue him 4/ , end in default of payment three months' improtoutueut. The prisoner will lose his tobacco and cigars.

The week's import is 18,942 bales. HIDES and LEATHER.—The boldness in leather during the past month has been more diversified in character and larger in extent then we have had to report for some time ; a steady demand has existed for almost all articles, with a fair supply to meet the requirement& of the trade, excepting of heavy sole loather, both English and foreign, for which there has been an active inquiry, and an advance has been obtained on most tannage@ of heavy butts, leaving the market very bare of stock. Other articles show very little change in value. The cheering account+. of the harvest aed the increased easiness in the money market have tended to give confidence to buyers, and as the stocks of leather gene. rally arc not large, we may still hope for a continuance of the present improved demand. lu raw goods no change of importance has occurred. The imports have been moderate. The sales of River Plate bales continue limited in extent without any alteration in prices, whilst of salted Australian bides considerable sale■ have been made at rather improved rates, and in East India kips there have also been larger transactions at somewhat advanced prices. At Leadenhall yesterday a fair average amount of business was done. The ' supply of heavy English butts and thick foreign butts was small, and full quotations were realised ; of other articles there was an adequate supply, and no change in prices.— (From the Gwadar of Mewl.
