THE PINS ARTS AT GLASGOW. The Scottish Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures einftected with architecture was opened as Friday is the building erected for the purpose in Bath street, Glasgow. Tee occasion drew "'lsobar a very I sego assenshistre of the tkehios and beauty of the western metropolis et Boatload. Amass ether parties protest is their official *afloat, were the Hos. the Lord Prevost, Sir Archibald Alias, Bart., sheriff of the entity ; Sheri ff Bell, the magistrates and memben of Tows :curial, sad a large gathering of the leftmost inkiness of Edinburgh and the West of Scotland. The Hon. the LORD Paovort took the chair at 1 o'clock, sad after prays, by the Bee. N. Wined, and the ebantiag of Non nodes Downie by the choir, delivered a ratable in troductory address.. Mr. WILLIS Out= read the report of the eftemittee of einagemeet ; the adefeles eif whin was moved is an slos quern @posh by Sir ArchibeM Allen e entailed by Mr. R.

A lusty cheer was Ores Mei by the Lord Prnost, sad the forma part of tle pressedings was at an end. In the course of the day, besides the lug. assemblage who witnessed the opening ceremony, the eahibitios was visited by great nweben of the citizens, whose uniform "pinion of the great merit and magnifies:lee of the weeks el art, and their arrangement, proved the complete semen of this highly creditable enterprise of the Glasgow ershitensral festinates. The building itself is very unpreleetious in external appearance. The front is just what it was when the buddies, which was purchased for the exhibieles„ was in habited by one of the Glasgow merchant prisms, with this difference, that the former entrance has bees deed, sad deseways up in the wings.

The most prominent work* it en ore displayed in this room—such as statuary, model, sad *Mee of our na tive monuments, and the priaelt bee meselents of the conti nent. His Royal Higbnsee Albert, his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, Lord Bethune, C. Cumming Bruce, Esq., and James Dennistoun, Esq., have otatributed Tellable works of art to this section of the exhibition. Several noble sculptures from the studio of John Thomas adorn thin hall, and a fine collection of iron, brass, and oak furniture, for eceleriastical palpate. There is also a fine display of stained eye, largely contributed by Mr. Delaney's', of Edinburgh. The statuary, in some amok is of marble, and other lasting material, but the greater patios consists of casts from fine originals. There an a number of beautiful designs and models in papier-mis chi, tern-Gotta, and plaster of Paris, received, for the most part, from Berlin and Paris. On one aide of this principal hall are a series of small apartments below the gallery, and lighted by side lights. These are arranged so as to give en Idea of whit might be done in the way of reducing the tarnishing of a house to a regular system, in which har mony and taste should be recognised principles. The SOF pets and tapestries are gorgeous; but it is in the ment of these, rather than in the excellence of thearlMires themselves, that the merit of this department of the exhibi tion enlists. The gallery is chiefly occupied by a very ex- Mine collection of drawings and casts, classified chrono logically, so as to illustrate the progress of architecture through the successive stages of Assyrian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Revival, and Gothic art ; in short, so as to furnish the student of architecture with a pictorial history of the art with which he desires to acquaint himself. Among this collection we ()burred many of the drawings of the traveller Bruce and of David Roberts. It is intended, we learn, to pur chase most of them, and of the works of art in other sections of the Exhibition, for the purpose of forniiog a permanent museum of the art of architecture and its cognate branches of wood-carving, sculpture, do. The whole expense of the undertaking, as far as it lace gone, is not less than B,oool.—Bdinberpd COW• 1114. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A CLERGY MAN. On Sunday afternoon last. says the Hudders field Briuniser, • poor man and his wife, wean palsied by the necessary sponsors, attended at the church of Fansllay-Tye, near this town, for the purpose of having their chid baptised. The rev. in cumbent, it seems, performed this ceremony after reading the sewed lesson, when he descended frem the reading-desk and proceeded is the font, near which the parties were seated. The ceremony was then commenced and proceeded with as far as asking the godmother the usual question of " Wilt thou do se and so, on behalf of the child." During the question the child was " cross," and the godmother did not (etch its import, and, of course, did not answer. We have known ministers of the gospel who would have meekly told • " sponsor " what to answer ; but not so the " chap lain to the Earl of Dartmouth." This rev. gentleman, in stal of doing that, vociferated, to the great surprise of the congregation, " Begone about your business, you don't know what ysu come hue for," and so saying he left the child unbeptised, and walked away from the font, and the prunes bad to go to Almondbury, where the child was baptised is a manlier becoming • minister. After this eau e on the chant—" Lord now letteat thy servant depart in peace," &c., and we titz.y joy observe here that there is ao choir at learnley-Tyas church, the clerk and conga..ga llon do all the clueing; but the good people having wit nessed emcee* 90 opposite to that which called forth the above prayer of " good old Simeon," could not join in the Wearing, and the clerk and organ bad it all to themselves ; fad this feeling in the congregation pervaded the remainder of the service.

In a seem' meat the prisoner war charged with uttering the asaament in question, knowing it to be forged. Mr. Bodkin presented; Mr. Bantias was counsel fee The circumstances under which this chugs was preferred were of a very peculiar and unusual natters. It appeared l that a person named Could Ross, who had formerly kept a pablie-bease at Limehouse, having been unfortunate is bedews, had gone with his wife and a little girl, his only child, ten years old, to live at Walworth, and that a brother of Ids named John, who had iron to California, bad re mitted to London a bill for 1601., upon the Ague Fria' . Mining Company, for the benefit of the family. Donald, it appeared, unfortunately died before the bill ar- rived, sad about six weeks afterwards his wife war seised with cholera, and she also died, after a very short Wane, leaving the child above-men tioned entirely without a friend or protector. The prisoner, it appeared was an intimate friend of Rose and hie wife, and upon their deaths taking place under these melancholy circumstances, he was sent for,and he took posseadon of all the e ff ects of the deceased, aid the f 1 expenses, sad removed the child to his own residence. Before this took place, however, he had made saltation of what he called a California bill, and alter two eureka in a box in the room of the deemed, he was seen to take the bill in question out of a pincushion. It appeared that the bill u usual in such cases, was made payable one mouth after sight, to the order of Doaeld Ross, but there was no evi denee to show whether, when the prisoner first obtained pouression of the instrument it bore the indorsement of the demised upon it or not, but very shortly afterwards the prisoner presented the bill at the offices of the company, and in dee time he canned the whole meant of the bill. The deceased persons, it ap poured, bad no relations in linked, but their friends to Scotland having received an Uniting et of what had takes place instituted some inquiries, and Aleasader Ross, a brother of the deceased, and some other relatives came to London for the purpose of inquiring into the affair. The primer upon being questioned at first said that the de coated persons had net left sufficient property to pay the expense of the funeral, and when be was asked what had became of the bill he at first said that be did not think It was of any value, but subsequently he admitted that he had reesived the amount. and at the tam time said that he could not be bun for what he had dose is the matter, r Mrs. Ross had put her husband's name to the bill beiges she died, sad there was some grad kg seggesief thae this was really the cue.

Mr. Campbell, the 'askew of the parish in Boot hs/ in Whisk Alexander Rots raideL _ . . Mr. Baßeatles made ea unmet appeal to the jury on bolsi! of the prisoner, end he muleadel that there was not the slightest protease for eimeging Ms with forgery. He mediae:sued to show that In all probebility the wire et she deceased man, who wee really entitled to the money, had signed her husband's name without any intention of de lineating any one, and he said that although the prisoner .jbt afterwards nave improperly made use of the 1110•417, It would be monstrous under such circumstances to find him guilty of forging the instrument, or of uttering it knowing it to be forged. The Recorder, is summing up, after observing upon the Len Ike mature of the charge, expressed an opinion that If bnerrshould believe that the wife had signed her has. eeme for the purpose of getting the money without lasay e x pense, or preventing delay, and with no in .tejemili defraud any one, in that ease the prisoner ought not to be etenieted; but if, on the contrary, they should think that the galena, had pat the indorsement to the bill himself, or hei prepared it to be done with the intention to apply the massy to his own purposes, in that case they would be jewelled in finding him guilty. The jury, alter deliberating a short time, found the pri mer Hiahy of uttering the instrument knowing the en desemeat to be herd ; but es the verdict did not appear to be as wandoess ow, they were requested to reconsider it, and, after a shirt time, they returned the same verdict, one of the jurymen observing that according to the prisoner's own statement he was aware that the signature of the hus band wan written by the wife and therefore knew that it wasa forgery when he uttered it. Mr. Ballantine said there was another indictment against the prisoner for starling a watch and other articles, that were taken by him under the same circumstances as the bill was, and he wished it should be tried, as he said he should be able to show by letters that had passed between the prisoner and the Rev. Mr. CampthU, that he had in reality committed no illegality in the transaction. Mr. Bodkin maid he should decline to proceed with the other charge, and the Recorder paid he did not see that, under the circumstances, he was called upon to interfere. lw added, iiirover, that I;sitioho paosalisotosoo Iwo would Look at soy ettommits that Wen be Imodloi to h., whit true May W Wag hiaa Mies Midas to the Vi. sato, ot tonsailisia. _ _ _ Some conversation then took place with regard to the dis posal of the child—the relatives of the deceased were, it appeared, anxious to take her back with them to Scotland, but the wu unwilling to leave the person under whore charge she was at present, and who wu described as the housekeeper of the prisoner. The Recorder at length said, he thought it would be much better for the child to go with her relations, but se she would not consent, he had no power to m ake any order, and the parties must take their Own course. - .

The defendant expremed his readiness to assent to the proposal, and he accordingly pleaded guilty, and having entered into the required sureties he was discharged from custody.

Richard Agkilt, driver of one of Pickford's vans, was brought up for final examination, for having mused the deem of Alfred harattel Angell, aged 14, through negligent driving. The foram iridium having been read over. • witness was called en behalf of the prisoner, who stated that the accident happened through the boy pushing his truck too close to the van, which caused his being thrown between the wheels of the van. Mr. Currie, in committing the prisoner for tr!al said, as I am informed that there has been an inquiry before the coroner, resulting ins verdict of "Accidental death," and as the principles involved in the case are very important sad of hourly occurrence, I think it my duty to state the reasons why I consider that • farther investigation ought to take place. The law applicable to cases of this kind is the same whether the proceedings be civil or criminal. To relieve the party charged from the consequences of the act, it must i not only be lawful in itself, but at must be done with due caution. If the driver be guilty of any cataloguing, honed his employer are liable, if the property or person of another be injured ; if death be caused, the driver is guilty of man slaughter. Ihe prisoner was driving a van drawn by three hones in the New-road, in the same direetion as that in which the deceased, a boy of 14 years old, was pushing a track The van was driven about flee miles an hour, and so loaded that the prisoner meld not see any object after be had peeled it, though the wheels of the van might not have done so.

He also found about 100 gallons of mo lest*. wash in a state of fermentation, and about 10 or 12 gallons of strong spirits. On nuking further search he found a carpet bag containing six large bladders, all of which smelt strongly of spirits, and there was no doubt in his (witness's) mind that the tam spirits were carried away by this means.

Mr. Alensader, the supervisor of excise, remarked that the still found at work was of a size enScient to distil 60 gallons of spirits a day, and this quantity, even at the duty of 71. 6d. a gallon saved, would amount to a considerable Ism in a few months.

The year now brought to close hue been one of the most eventful known by a large ponies of the present generation; after nearly forty years' peace, Europe has again become involved in war, the end of which so one can foresee. Teas of thousands hay • el.eady bees numbered with the dead, and we appear to be only on the threshold of the gnat straggle. Many, very many, who gathered round the family hoard hays had this Christmas to deplore the hen or absence of friend or relative ; for not aloes flu we: emd all its honors come among us, but the stroke of pest-t -hine*, in the shape of that dre aded disorder, cholera, has =cried off its thousands. The year 1864 hue indeed been met disastrous ; and, whilst we humbly bow to the dispen- Misr of Providence, let us hope that the black cloud may OMB pers away, and that the period of time on which we sneer may prove more prosperous than the year now num bered with the past. Whilst deploring the many and severe visitations to which the nation has been subjected, we must not forget the inestimable blessing which has been bestowed on the country b the abundance of the harvest. Barely have we been favoured with more auspicious seasons ; and it is no exaggeration to state that a larger amount of hod has been raised in the United Kingdom than was perhaps ever before grown. For this th e nation cannot be sufficiently grateful. Never wu a large harvest more needed. The exhaustion of old stocks in all parte of the world in consegastice of the extreme deficiency of the previous year's crops, and the difficulties thrown in the way of obtaining supplies from abroad in consequence of the war with Russia, would have placed this country in most critical position ; indeed, a deficient harvest might, and probably would under the circumstances, have led to want fearful to =template. The foregoing remarks may perhaps not be altogether appropriate as a preface to a review of the corn trade, but at a sue= like the preeent, which is usually characterised by festivity and sidefeing, it is natural to look back at what we have passedthrengh, and to contemplate the future. May our kinds and readers have fortitude and resignation to bear up oder the misfortunes which may have fallen to their individual share, and may the New Year bring them peace end happiness! We muse now water into that portion of our subject to white ear euereks ere generally confined. Following our anal enstroa, we shall at the close of the year lay before our readers a short retrospect of the course of the trade during the twelve menthe. The great event at the opening of 1864 was the imminent danger of Great Britain and France bumming involved in the war then going on between Russia and Turkey. The probability of the supplies of corn from the Black Sea and Azoir being out off was re garded as sufficient cause to calculate on a high range of prices; and though we were then receiving very large quan tities of groin from eastern ports, quotations nee is. to is, per qr. at Mark-lane in the month of January, and is pro portion at most of the principal provincial markets. Is February the upward movement received a check : France, which had previously been purchasing largely in the Eng lish markets, began maddeely to send us supplies. Consi derable re-shipments of American flour were made about this time from Havre. Belgium also Webbed some quantity of wheat, and the winds from distant ports were meanwhile on a liberal seals ; the effect of this was a decline of 6s. per qr. in prices : the depression in creased in March, and a further decline of 6.. to Se per qr. was the result, bringing prices dews to somewhat below the point at which they stood previous to the rise in January. One important cause which operated in f of the decline was the generally auspicious nature of the weather throughout the spring. With a larger breadth of land under wheat than usual, the young plant wore a healthy and promising .appearacee—a circumstance which assisted greatly to allay lineations in regard to the future. In the month of April war against Russia was officially de clared—the immediate effect of which, aid= by decreasing deliveries of wheat from the growers, was a rise of Be. per qr. ; but the extreme advance was not maintained to the close. In May we received very large supplies from ports east of Gibraltar and from the Baltic, and the erops con tinuing to progress favourably, quotatioes did not vary materially : on the whole the tendency was, however, up wards, more particularly towards the close Of the month. During June matter...remained quiet: the advanced period of the eau= and the prospect of ea excel lent harvest were not without their influence, sad though the foreign supplies had then begun to fell off, the home deliveries were very small, still wheat rued= Is. to 2s. per qr. Towards the sloes of July we had a posited of very hot weather, by which the crops WON fend forward rapidly ; nada these circumstances, very imengnine Wyss ef an early and abundant harvest were indulged in, end something like a panic seised sellout prime fell hem day to day, and in the space of a month wheat dulls= Me. per qr. at liark•laue. Early in August samples of the new crop began to be exhibited: and though these wee net perhaps all that might be desired la point eilDsnalfty, there was not much to complain of on that sure, while 4 the re ports in regard to the yield were highly oath/seem : prices then ranged fur good new wheat from 60e. to 70s ; some inferior ill-condittoned lots were sold at 60e. to 655. per qr.: meanwhile old wheat gave way in value to the extent of about 2s. per qr. September proved unusually fine, and the harvest, though commenced later than usual, was brought is a successful termination. The complete exhaustion of old stocks, and the fact that the war with Russia would deprive us of further supplies from the Black Sea, &a, were for a time wholly overlooked, and nothing but the abundance of our own sups was dwelt upon ; the most extraordinary ideas of the probable future ranee of prices began to be indulged in, and the millers re fused to buy except at very low rates. This state of things lasted until the value of capital new Kent and Essex red wheat, weighing 631be.r bushel had been depressed to 495. ' and 60s. and floe w hi te was sold at Ms. to Ms. per qr.

Positive informs tioa ea them plate hi not to be arrived at ; 'till, by careful investleMila a nanny clear one may be made out. With ' feteMliell In Wks of old wheat there is little or no cliff ' gaily, tits Vona part of what remains being held in Lon des and a few of the principal ports on the wan ; the quantity may, therefore, be pretty nearly ascertained ; but it 1. widely different when the stocks of satire-grown wheat are under consideration, as these are spread over the whole kingdom, and there is no statistical information regarding tits same. _ _ . _ . The importations of foreign wheat have during the last throe or four months been my much below the usual avenge ; and though the granaries and warehesuses were well filled at harvest time, they are now nearly empty. There is, consequently, no difficulty in coming to a conclu sion, and we do not hesitate teay that there is less foreign wheat in the United Kingdom than has been the case at any previous period for years past. With respect to what may remain in farmers' hands, we can only judge by infer ence. We shall start, then, by repeating what we have already asserted, viz., that the last crop was one of unusual abundance, probably a fourth above the produce of good avenge seasons ; bat, on the other hand, it must be recollected that, owing to the extreme deicieney of the harvest of 1863 there was little or no old wheat of home growth on band at harvest time. This being the case, the new produce had to be com menced upon almost as soon as it was enured, and so large have been the deliveries ever since, as to render it ques tionable whether growers at this time hold more wheat than they usually have at the corresponding period of the year. In addition to a very large consumption, a larger quantity than anal has been taken for seed, as the pros pect of rempenting prices, sad the favourable weather at seed-time, induced farmers to cultivate wheat more exten sively than they otherwise might have done. In addition to this exports to some extent have been made to France and Belgium. We think, therefore, that there is reason:to conclude that farmers as a body hold rather lees than is generally the case at the commencement of the new year. If this should really prove to be the case, we should require very large imports between the present time and autumn. The next point of consideration is, where are these to come from ? As long as the war with Russia continue, no sup plies of moment can be looked for from sny of the ports east of Gibraltar. rhere has lately been some talk of the blockade of the mouths of the Danube being raised, but there is no positive information on the subject. Granting, however, that this were the case, we question whether any c e r a i t e g e ss a t o ir eou that ld th be e : o roz y red fre ug en h th w en h e i ed i for m that ast runs, and the provinces when the corn is grown which fur nishes the Danube supplies, have been occupied for more than twelve months by hostile armies. Corn has been con sumed and destroyed, and the cultivation of the land inter fered with, and the regular course of business interrupted. We think it may therefore be fairly concluded that, until pease shall have been restored, we cannot safely reckon on any aid from the Black Sea, Azoff, (Lc. The same may be said in regard to the Mediterranean parte. The Italian states do not appear to have grown enough fortheir own oon , sumption, and the export of grain from Italy has for some ' time pest been prohibited ; the Preach and Belgian govern ments have also adopted that step te guard against high prices; hence we have only the northern parts of Europe, Spain, to depend on for our future supplies. That ' our prime are sufficiently high to induce great exertions to be made by foreign shippers to send all they can collect to ' great Britain cannot be questioned • but the sources from which supplies can reach us have been so narrowed, u to render imports on so extensive a scale sa we have of Ist. years been accustomed to receive almost impossible. The question, then, resolve' itself into this: have we adequate, stocks on hand to carry us to the next harvest with di minished imports ? On this depends the future range of prices. We shall not attempt the answer, but shall leave it to our readers to take each their individual opinion on the subject. A termination of hostilities against Kuria would of course work • great change, and the possibility of peace should not be lost sight sif. We shall now pro ceed to notice the transactions at Mark-lane during the pan week. Business throughout has been very quiet ; but there have been no indicatioas of a want of firmness, • and previous prices have been very steadily supported. On Wednesday there was a fair show of wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, which was held at similar tunas to thou current the previous week. For white wheat there was a moderately good demand, and the Fele: stands were cleared at rates quite equal to those previously paid; but a considerable quantity of the Heat wheat remained unsold. Then was no increase of activity on Friday; but, on the other hand, there wu no inclination to press sales, and needy buyers had to pay former prices. Though the wind has been rather more favourable this week for arrivals from the north of Europe, only 14,236 qn. of foreign wheat have been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. The country demand has been of the same retail character as for some time past, and the town millers have purchased cautiously; the transactions have, therefore, not been extensive. Where sales have been made, however, very full terms have been realised; end so confident are holders of old wheat as to the future, u to show but little anxiety to realise at present. The arrivals off the coast from ports east of Gibraltar have been quite trifling, and there have been few offers of cargoes oa plunge ; in which position of affairs no quotetle change hi. occurred in prices. The operations in Baltic wheat on passage have been less extensive than heretofore, owing in a great measure to the high pretensions of seller, No alteration has taken place in the top price of town manufactured flour. Norfolk and similar qualities have been rather slow of sale, but have not been parted with at less mosey than before. A few thousand burets of American float , have come to head this week, for which very full terms have been asked. The supply of home-grown barley has not been particu larly large ; but the realtsters and distillers having held off, and the export demand having subsided, this grain has been difficult of disposal. The sales made on Wednesday were at prices sanely equal to those current previous to the holidays; and on Friday a small decline was in some eases submitted to, to induce purchasers to act. Of foniga barley scarcely any has come to hand for some weeks past, and the quantity in the market is so small, that sellers ere not inclined to accept lower terms: at the urns time, there is very little demand for the article. The value of malt has rather tended downwards. The arrivals of oats coastwise and from Ireland have been trifling, and we have not bad so many offers by nil as of late From abroad we have received a fair supply, vim., 13,405 sin. The dollen have (as is usually the are in the Christmas week) operated very cautiously ; but the market having become rather bare, fasters have insisted ea fully former rates; indeed, on Friday a slight advance was asked. and in partial instances obtained, for fine corn. Unless we receive much more abundant supplies from abroad than we have had of late, a moderate rise in prises of oats appears probable. Buns have been neglected, and prices have been the tans in favour of the purchaser. Peas have become almost =saleable, and, in the absence of businese, quotations must be regarded as in a great mea sure nominal. THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. Owing to the Christmas holiday; we have this week very few foreign letters; indeed, sosreely anyone attends to business in the Christmas week on the continent. "ii:Tat7st7d;i7a;t7o73 the Baltic elate that tis weather had become frorty, but not to each an extent as to inter. fore with the navigation. The seareity of vessels and the smallness of stocks had, however, prevented any ehipments of importance being made. The oyes Mae of the English reports, of the 18th Deoember. had not been without effect, and holders of wheat had rather raised their preteasions. At Hamburg. on Tuesday, ner market was held : the pre ceding week business bad been rather dull, the English advises being considered less favourable than the week before. The last quotations wen, for 69} lbs., Mecklenburg wheat, 68.. 3d. • ditto of 611ba. weight, The. 6d. per qr. free on board. Thinn had beau several offers of argots of wheat shipping from the Danish Islands; at about 70s. per qr., cost and freight to the east coast, for 601 b.. quality. In Spring aura very little bad been done, and both barley and oats had been neglected. The former article, to be shipped in spring from Jutland, might have been bought at SOs. 6d. to 31s. per qr., weight per bushel, 63165. Oats .of 381bs weight, from the same destination, had been offered at 24e. Bd. par qr. free on board to spring. From Wanes we learn that the - effset produced at first by the prehibitioa of export had passed away, aad that a pa non of the decline is picas of wheat whin& was mused by I that measure has been recovered. It appears tolerably lain that steaks of corn are small in Franc*, and we deem it more than probable that that coantry will have to import on rather a large male before harvest. Paris letters, of I Thursday's date, tutors us that flour had risen in value 2 to 3 frame sines that day sa'asight, and that wheat had participated in the improvement. Pros the Mediterranean we have nothing fresh to notice. By the most recently received advises from the Danube, it appear. that some business had been done in wheat at(ulster and Ibraila, for spring delivery ; which would appear to argue that some idea waa satirtaked there that shipmate might, after a while, bemuse peso- doable.

Relative to the freight market, Meows. Offor and Gunman make the annexed weekly report : The freight market exhibits a striking contrast to its tone at the commencement of last year, and the prospects for the new year are as disadrantageoss to the shipping interest as the mistrust in the rates of freight. In January, 1854, Autralian freights were firm at 41. 10s. to 61. per ton, and the market reports were so encouraging that export. in creased rapidly, and the demand for tonnage was enormous. To-day we hear of an engagement of freight at 35e. per ton, and the reports from the colony are so discouraging that nothing short of a total cessation of shipmeaTe g a lengthened period is likely to relieve the overstocked mar kets and give animation to the trade. The Emigration Commiedonere have chartered an im mense fleet of ships for the colony during the past year, sad this service hu been of great value to the shipping interest. Owing to the pusher class of vessels required for this ser vice, the rates have been much better maintained than might have been expected from the general fall in freights. The rates paid for the vessels accepted on Thursday last were 171. 78., 171. 12s. 6d., and 171. 178. per head. The movement in Australian shipping last week was again unimportant, comprising 6 vessels entered outwards and 4 vessels cleared, viz.: Mitered out. Cleared. Shim Tamara Salim Tonnage. 1 761 .... 0 Hobart Town Launceston Port Phillip Sydney 5 2,391 4 2,845 Outward freights in nearly every direction are much de pressed, and recent advice's from the But Indies report an excessive supply of tonnage, as tending to the reduction of freights. The question naturally arises u to what rates will return to the shipowner a remunerative profit on his outlay : the downward coarse of freights must stop somewhere, or the business of the shipping interest must be carried on at a loss. Wages, provision:, insurance, &c., are higher than they have been fora long period; and although shipowners have generally looked for a larger interest than capitalists in other trades, it is a question if lower freights than are now current would yield the actual working expenses of the ship. The gigantic strides of our 00011110701 during a forty years' peers, and in late years the operations of the free trade policy, occasioned a demand for shipping, which has been met b 7 an immense increase to our mercantile navy. The blighting effects of war begin to be felt on our commerce, and the shipping hitemt is the first to stiffer. There is very little chartering business doing, and freights in most trades are nominal.

FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. THETFORD, Dzc. 31. Another terrible railway accident occurred near here on Saturday night last, a goods train having run into the up mail. Two persons are now lying dead in this town, and three others seriously injured. The carriage' and one engine are complete wreaks. An inquest will be held to-morrow (Monday) at four o'clock in the after noon. The following account of the disaster has been forwarded to the Doily New office by the secretary of the company on whom line it occurred : " Butarn Counties Railway, "Secretary's Office, Bishopegate, Jan. 1. " Sir,—l regret to inform you that an accident hap pened to the up mail train from Norwich on the night of the 30th ult., at a place called Two-mile Bottom, situated about 2} miles on the London side of the Thetford station, which resulted in the death of two persons, and injured three others. In approaching the spot where the accident occurred the line passes through a short cutting, and then emerges upon a slight embankment, which continues up to and beyond the place of accident. All this portion of the railway forms a curve, and is on an incline in the direction of London. A special up cattle train left the Trowse station at 9.10 p.m , and shunted at Attleberough for the up-mail to pas,. The mail train passed Attleborough, and the cattle train followed after the lapse of the usual time. The mail is duet* leave Thetford at 11.1 p.m. It arrived and left there at 11.7, or 6 minutes late. It then proceeded on its journey, and came toe stand at Two Mile Bottom in consequence of the breakage of a jib or cotter of one of the connecting rodeo( the engine. When the train wu brought t• a stand the guard went back to give the usual signals, but it teems probable, from the preliminary investigation which has taken place, that he had not gone the dietaries required by the company's regulation', and, moreover, did not place the proper number of detonating signals on the metals, which he had abundance of time to do, as the special cattle train passed Thetford at 11.28 p.m., or 21 minutes after the mail train left, but, owing to th e regulations of the corn pony not having been attended to, it ran into the mail train at a considerable speed, whilst standing on the line. " The whole of the circumstances are undergoinfan inves tigation, but I regret the following list of casualties. John Burton, driver of the mail train, who was underneath his engine at the time attending to the broken cotter, killed. Mr. Meager, an assistant to an undertaker, since dead of in ternal injuries. Mr. Bicknell, Mr. Meager's man, slightly bruised about the head. The Rev. Mr. Hepworth, of Boteedele, ribs injured and head bruised, but is doing very favourably. Goode-guard Cornell, leg fractured " Everything possible has been done to alleviate the sufferings of the parties injured, and I am happy to say that they are going on satisfactorily. " I have the honour to be, sir, " Your obedient servant, " J. °WIN, Secretary." FATAL ATTEMPT TO SLIDE DOWN A ROPE. On Tuesday an inquest wan held in this town, says the Huddersfield Bannister, on the body of; William Mandan, aged 30 years, who came by his death in rather an unusual manner. It appears that a chimney, forty yards high, has just been erected at the new gas works, and the deemed was sent with two other mon to remove the scaffolding. They ascended to the top of the chimney, and after sending every thing down by means of a rope, they ought to have had themselves lowered in a box, or basket. One of the men was let down in this manner, and by some means or other fell out cf the box when about six yards from the bottom. Diseased and the other man remaining at the top of the chimney were ignorant of this mishap, and the master of the wades, who was stationed below, did not tell *ma he bee limy Amid hes confidence. Joseph Wood, the man who wan with dlesaund, asked him if he could go down by the rope ugly. Deceased maid he could, and pro euded to make the dement. When he got half-way down he lost heart, and Mopped, 'eying est it was hard work. Everything was dew by than gamest to encourage him, and he wu advised to rest can bead and hold by the other, but suddenly he said, "Oh, des ! " and fell down the rope in a moment to the bottom. He was taken to the hospital, and on examination it was found that there wu • compound fracture and dislocation of the right ankle, which was driven through the foot, and a comminuted fracture and dislocation of the left foot. The eighth or ninth dorsal ver tebrae of the spine was aloo:fraotured. The lower portion of his body below the fracture of the spine was completely paralysed. The cam was hopeless, and he died soon after. The comes stated that a man thirty years of age ought to have know whether he was capable of owning down by the rope se not, and as he did not choose to descend by imam dile tub, there could be no blame attaching to lb.
