(Before Baron Bramwell.) ROBBERY WITH --lOLENCE• Richard Hurley and Wm. Windsor, two young men, of decent appearance, were charged with feloniously assault ing Mr. Frederick J. Bush, and stealing from him a watch and chain. The jury having found the prisoner guity, he was sen tenced to four years' penal servitude, GAROTTE ROBBERY. John Kington was found guilty of garotting a Yorkshire man, and sentence was deferred. POLICE-THIS DAY. ATANSION HOUSE. GAROTTTNG A POTMAN.—Mary Ann Fossel and Elisa beth Jacobs were placed at the bar charged with highway robbery. The prosecutor, Gee. Taylor, a potman, was this morning about two o'clock passing along Aldersgate-street, when the prisoners came up to him and with violence began to rifle him of his property. He called out " Police," when the prisoners ran off, but the officers followed, and in a short time both prisoners were secured. The prosecutor gave a very satisfactory reason for being out so late. He had been to Greenwich, and, having missed the last train, he had to walk home. The prisoners said the prosecutor must be mistaken. The police-constables said the prisoners wero well known as bad characters. Alderman Carden said he had made up his mind to deal most severely with every case of highway robbery, and he should therefore commit both prisoners to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND ASSAULT.—John Davis, an ill looking fellow, who is in the habit of hanging about the Haymarket at night, was charged with stealing a silk umbrella from Mr. Thomas Bamford, of 103, Ebury-street, Pimlico, and Louisa Lloyd was charged with assaulting the prosecutor Prosecutor said that between one and two that morning he was passing the Haymarket when the female prisoner accosted him. She seized his hand, and said, "You villain, I'll make you pay for this," and then thrust his thumb into her mouth and near'y bit it through. He was in great pain and at the moment felt his umbrella go. In answer to Mr. Knox prosecutor said he was in liquor at the time. 215 C proved seeing the male prisoner run away from the prosecutor, and, suspecting he had stolen something, he went after him and brought him back with an umbrella in his posse3sion, which the prosecutor identified as his pro perty. _ _ The female prisoner said prosecutor had tried to take liberties with her, and that he had taken her into two pub lichouses and never given her anything. Barns, the gaoler, said that both prisoners had been in custody several times—the woman for drunkenness and annoying gentlemen. ➢Tr. Knox said it was a case of a drunken person stagger ing into the Haymarket at two in the morning. A female then accosted him, and he gets robbed. He should commit the male prisoner for a month for unlawful possession, and the woman for a month as a disorderly prostitute; and if he had the power to send the prosecutor for a month he would do so. WESTMINSTER. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN.—Richard Higgs, a young man, was placed at the bar, charged with uttering a spu rious florin to Agnes Ewen, barmaid of the Chelsea Water Works tavern, Chelsea. Agnes Ewen stated that last evening the prisoner came to the house and called for a pint of beer. He tendered a spurious florin in payment. She examined it, and believ ing it was bad, put it in the detective, when she found it was so, and prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Arnold—Did he give any account about the florin ? Witness—He said a gentleman gave it to him for con• veying a box to the Victoria station, and he did not know it was bad. Mr. Arnold—How do you know that he did ? Witness—l don't know. Mr. Arnold—The offence for which the prisoner is charged is not barely that of uttering a counterfeit florin, but for uttering it, well knowing it to be counterfeit. Is there any evidence to show that he had guilty knowledge ? Policeman—Mr. Jenkins, the landlord, thinks ho did. Mr. Jenkins stood forward. Mr. Arnold—Have you any reason to believe the prisoner knew this piece of money to be counterfeit ? Mr. Jenkins—Every reason. I have during the last three weeks constantly had bad money offered, some of which has been taken, Mr. Arnold—Was he one of them ? Mr. Jenkins—Not that I am aware of. Mr. Arnold—Then your reason .for supposing that pri soner knew this florin to be bad is that other persons have given you bad money. Mr, Jenkins—l looked out at the door and saw bad cha racters about while prison r was in my house. Mr. Arnold—Had you seen him with them. Mr. Jenkins—No, I had not; but they were looking in, The prisoner was on the point of being discharged for want of evidence when a policeman said he knew the pri soner as the common associate of thieves, and believed ho had been convicted of felony. Prisoner was remanded until Monday. GREA7 SHIP COMPANY. SPECIAL MEETING,-(THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the directors and pro prietors was held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considEring the present position of the company. W. BARBER, Esq., chairman of the Board of Directors, presided. _ . . The report submitted to the meeting went at length into the earning capabilities of the ship, which were considered to be of the most favourable description. The document then went on to refer t o th e acc id en t w hich befel the ship on her last voyage, an d th en procee d e d as follows "The financial result s t o t h e company, : conseq uent on this disaster, are most seri ous , and it b ecomes the duty of your directors urgently to p ress the su bj ec t u pon the attention of the proprietors. Y our directors sta t e d in their last re port that the working cap i tal of t h e co mpany, assuming the amount then asked for to be raised, would not be placed on such a satisfactory footing as prudence would dictate, but they hoped, from the favourable prospects before them, to be enabled to extricate the company from the difficulties which at one time appeared insurmountable; these antici pations they confidently believe would have been more than 1 realised had the ship completed the voyages then designed for her, and that, at the end of the year, the working ac• count would have shown a very large balance to the credit. The accounts of disbursements in New fork, pertaining to the present voyage, has not yet been received, but it must of necessity be heavy ; the wages and victualling of the crow will also form a very large item. The liabilities may be estimated at this date as under : On bills payable, and open accounts about £9,030 Interest on £35,000 mortgage debt, due 30th inst 1,760 Ditto on £25,000, due Ist January £12,000 Add four months' wages to crew, less advances.... 7,000 exclusive of the mortg age d e b t, the claim of Mr. raogow the Parry,wh o & le o. o T f h N e v h asset i c h o may nsi b t s e o taken i g a h t t a b a n o u d t p i a 6 B , s 0 o e, l ami l el : a, 0 , Mr.oooesyot received in New York and there held against disbursements and contingent liabilities alluded to above. The mortgage debts amount to £60,000, of which £25,000 is repayable on Jan. 1 next, and the balance on May 31 next. In consider ing the question of finance, your directors think it neces sary, that in any arrangements made, the above mortgages should be absorbed ; they are also of opinion, having in view the present state of the money market, and the security offered, that the amount required for this purpose, and to provide for the other liabilities of the com pany, including the repair and outfit of the ship, should be obtained at 8 per cent. per annum ) and your directors there fore recommend, that they should be authorised to issue on such terms and terms and conditions as they may think fit, a mortgage stock for £lOO,OOO, repayable in three years, and to bear 8 per cent. interest, payable by coupon attached to the bonds, and to be secured by a mortgage of the ship, given to three trustees with power of sale in case of de fault, either in payment of the interest or principal; the company to insure the amount, or, at the option of the bondholder, to pay the premium of insurance to him he thereby becoming his own underwriter, and having no claim on the company in case of loss." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was absolutely necessary that something should be done by the present meeting to secure the vessels remain ing in possession of the company. Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL said he should like to know what instructions the dirctors had sent out to America with respect to repairing the injury to the ship, and also whether Captain Paton took the ship through the channel in which she struck on his own responsibility. The CHAIRMAN said the directors had not interfered with the steps taken to remedy the accident, until after the first attempts had failed, and then the directions they had sent to America were that the ship should be brought home with as little delay as possible. With respect to the course the ship had taken he had to inform the hon. proprietor the directors, as in all previous voyages, had instructed Capt Paton the course he was to take. Mr. TAYLOR thought the meeting had better proceed to consider the main points, and that was how to surmount their difficulties. He did not think the situation of the company was as desponding as tha report made out, as the ship had shown that she was eapaple of giving the proprie• tors a good return for the capital they had invested. After a long discussion the report was adopted, with the following addition—" That the directors be empowered to raise any sum of money, not exceeding £lOO,OOO, at 10 per cent., on such terms as the y may bonds may be issued b elow par.", think fit, but that no SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

The Public Life of Lord Macaulay. By tho Rey. Frederick Ar .(,Id, B.A. Tinsley Brothers, Catherine. street, Strand. Without pretending to be a complete biography of Lord Macaula , , the work before us conveys a good idea of that aspect of his character which, exposed to public view, is nevertheless fading from men's memories, or of which the latter and comparatively recent portion is alone remem bered with distinctness. It is in fact a record of his acts and opinions; it relates the impression he produced on his cotemporaries ; and it touches on the many important events in whieh he took a prominent part. The writer also displays considerable impartiality; he does not suppress adverse judgments; and the reader is thus to some extent enabled to form an estimate for himself. Born at Rothley Temple, October 25, and of Scotch descent, Macaulay showed early indications of no ordinary capacity. At the age of 13, greatly impressed with Napo leon's Russian campaign, he wrote a poem called " Mos cow." As a schoolboy he is described as being "rather largely built than otherwise, but not fond of the ordinary physical spouts of boys; with a disproportionately large head, slouching or stooping shoulders, and a whitish or pallid complexion; incessantly reading or writing, and often reading or repeating poetry in his walks with his companions ;" and a naiad friend of a poetical turn de scribed him a few years later as Little graced With aught of manly beauty—short, obese, Rough-featured, coarse complexion, with lank hair And small grey eyes . . . . his voice abrupt, Unmusical. A writerinanAmericanpaper pictures him when speaking on the Reform 13111 as "a little man of small voice, affected utterance, and hissing like a serpent." Nevertheless, "these spasmodic symptoms gradually wore off as the fire of argument kindled up his soul, and the more proper shapes of human speech by equal degrees formed upon his tongue and flowed from his lips." At 18 he went to Cambridge, where he took high rank and obtained the Chancellor's gold medal for the best English poem, the subject being Pompeii. In 1821 he gained a Craven scholarship of £5O a year, produced another prize poem on "Evening," and contributed articles to Knight's Quarterly Magazine, on " The Athenian Orators," and " Italian Poets." His first appearance in London was at Freemasons' Hall, in 1824, when he made an anti slavery speech which attracted some attention, and in the same year he was elected Fellow of Trinity, In 1826 he was called to the bar, and went the Northern circuit, though apparently without obtaining any business. But his career may be considered to have really commenced in 1825, when he joined the Edinburgh Review, and contri buted the first of those essays which have given him a foremast place among English writers. In 1830 he took his seat in the House as member for Caine, his maiden speech being on the question of the admission of the Jews. Shortly after this commenced the famous Reform Bill agitation. "Unparalleled scenes were then witnessed in the two Houses. Noble lords were shaking their fists in each others' faces, and Sir Robert Peel had to be dragged down to his seat by his friends." And it was now that Macaulay gained his great reputation as an orator, oven his bitterest opponents admitting his power. As a specimen of cotemporary criticism we give from the Noctes Ambro- SHIPPING-THIS DAY• LONDON, Nov. 28.—Wind this day at noon—South; moderate breeze, and fine weather. BY ELECTRIC TELICGRAPTI.

Tickler--" You will laugh when I say it, but do you know it is a plain, simple fact that this Tom Macaulay put me much more in mind of the Jeffrey of ten years ago than did the Jeffrey tpsissintus of kale." North—" You pay Mr. Macaulay a high compliment— the highest, I think, ho has ever met with." Tickler—" Not quite ' - for it is the fashion, among a cer tain coterie at least, to talk of him as 'the Burke of our age.' However, he is certainly a very clever fellow, the cleverest declaimer by far on that side of the house; and, had he happened to be a somebody, we should, no doubt, have seen Tom in high places ere now." North—" A son of old Zachary, I believe ? Is he like the papa ?" Tickler—" So I have heard, But I never saw the senior, of whom some poetical planter has so unjustifiably sung : " ' How smooth, persuasive, plausible and glib, From holy lips has dropped the precious fib.' The son is an ugly, cross-made, splay-footed, shapeless little dumpling of a fellow, with a featureless face, too— except., indeed, a good expansive forehead—sleek, purit mi ca!, sandy hair; large glimmering eyes, and a mouth from car to ear. He has a lisp and a burr, moreover, and speaks thickly and huskily for several minutes before he gets into the swing of his discourse ; but after that nothing car, be more dazzling than his execution. What he says is substantially, of course, mere stuff and nonsense; but it is so well worded and so volubly and forcibly deli vered—there is such an endless string of epigrams and antitheses—such a flashing of epithets, such an accumula tion of images; and the voice is so trumpet-like, and the action so grotesquely emphatic, that you might hear a pin drop in the house. Manners Sutton himself listens. It is obvious that he has got the main parts, at least, by heart ; but for this I give him the more praise and glory. Alto gether the impression on my mind was very much beyond what I had been prepared for ; so much so that I can honestly and sincerely say I felt for his situation most deeply when Peel was skinning him alive the next even ing, and the sweat of agony kept pouring down his well bronzed cheeks under the merciless infliction." North—" The feeling does credit to your heart. Have you read his article on Byron in the Edinburgh ?" Tickler—" Not I. I wonder how many articles on. Byron we ate expected to read. Is there to be no end to this jab ber—this brainless botheration about a case as plain as a pike-staff, and that lies, too, in a nutshell ?" North—" Macaulay's paper is, however, an exceedingly clever thing, and you , eight to glance your eye over it. The Edinburgh has had nothing so good these many years past. In tact, it reads very like a paper in ~neof their early num bers ; much the same sort of excellence ; the smart, rapid, popgun impertinence ; the brisk,airy, new-set truisms, min gled with cold, shallow, heartless sophistries; the conceited phlegm, the affected abruptness, the unconscious auaacity of impudence ; the whole lively and amusing, and much com mended among the dowagers." On the passing of the Reform Bill he was, after a severe contest, returned for Leeds, when he assumed an extremely independent tone. In one of his letters during that period we find the following remarks on " BEGOING FOR VOTES." "My dear Sir,--Tam truly happy to find that the opinion of my friends at Leeds on the subject of canvassing agrees with that which I have 10 , g entertained. The practice of begging for votes is, as it seems to me absurd, pernicious, and altogether at variance with the true principles of repre sentative government. The suffrage of an elector ought not to be asked or to be given as a personal favour. It is as much for tho interest of constituents to choose well as it can be for the interest of a candidate to be chosen. To re quest an honest man to vote according to his conscience is superfluous. To request him to vote against his conscience is an insult," H e was now made Secretat y to the Board of Control,with a salary of £l,BOO a year, and on the appointment of a law commission to inquire into the jurisdiction, &c., of existing courts of justice and police establishments in India, be was made ordinary Member of the Council and President of the Law Commission with a salary of £lO,OOO a yeas. In India, where his fame had preceded him, his arrival created a great sensation, though his legislative powers were ques tioned, and his career there seems, upon the whole, to have been by no means a popular one. One law, however, met with general approval—the establishment of one universal system of Indian coinage; but some of his measures were severely reprobated. At length, however, the labours of the Law Commission came to an end, and the Penal Code in 26 chapters, with numerous illustrations, was produced. Some of the latter the writer gives, premising that they " certainly appear too trivial and absurd for serious legislation :" LAV TOR THE HINDOOS. A., a servant in Z.'s house, having occasion to write a letter, dips a pen in ink, the property of Z. Here, though the act of A. may fall under the definition of theft, A. has committed no offence. A., a friend of Z., calls at Z.'s house in Z.'s absence, and writes and seals several letters there with Z.'s paper and wax without asking any person !_s permission. Here, if the acquaintance between A. an dZ. be such that, according to the usages of society, the.lied con sent of Z. to such use of his property must be implied thence, A. has committed no offence. A. gets into a n pu p bli public carriage in which Z. i s sitting, and, in seating himself, athe slightly hurts Z. by pressing him against the side carriage. Here, though A.'s act falls within the definition in clause 316, yet, if the whole harm cause d was so slight that no man of ordinary sense and temper would complain of such harm, A. has committed no offence. England, and His task completed, Macaulay returned to shortly after made a tour in Italy, w h er e he gained a eme , , know ledge of localities, which, in his "Lays of Ancient 1e u ,, t Rome," the he found of essential service. " Lord Macaulay, lconvey ing writer, "always c a refully studied the scenery va e and locality in of historical events, and well knew their u vivid and accurate impressionesd va rious places, .

As a specimen of his style about this I Unitarian Chapels Bill : penau.othd,taakned MACAULAY ON RELIGIOUS TOLERATION. We know that that . sect is small, that it is unpopular, that it can produce little effect upon elections ~ perhaps 1 may go so far as to say that it would probably be the best wa y, to win public favour, altogether to repudiate thew and their doctrines ; and, therefore, if such be the case —if there be any person of an arbitrary nature and intole rant turn of mind who wishes to enjoy the pleasure of per secution with perfect personal impunity —then I:say that he can have no mor e exce ll ent opportunities for the indulgence of his propensities than the present. For myself, sir, I have taken up the doctrines of civil and religious liberty, not because they are popular, but because they are just; and the time may come soon when some of those who are now crying out against this bill may be compelled to appeal to the principles on which it rests ; and if that shall be the case, then, sir, I will attempt to prevent others from oppressing them, as I now seek to keep them from lording it over others. At present I contend against their insolence in the same spirit as I may hereafter have to battle for their rights." In 1845 arose the Maynooth question. Macaulay sup ported the Bill for the augmentation of the grant in every stage, and once more took office as Paymaster-General, His :..~. - conduct on these occasions gave offence to his constituents, and in the genefal election which took place soon after, a coalition was f-2rmed against him of "Pharisees and Pub licans,"U and he was thrown out. Two years later the ni versity of Glasgow elected him Lord Reeter, he was presented with the freedom of the city, and in 1852, E - clinbutzh having become repentant, made him overtures ; and he, declining to give " any explanation or any guarantee," once more became its representative. Of his effect in the house the late Mr. Whitty gives the following graphic sketch : " MACAULAY'S UP." It was pleasanter talking on Wednesday, when the posie tion of Mr. Macaulay in Great Britain was measured in a great way. On a Wednesday the house and the committees are sitting at once, and the building is filled with scattered M.P.s, some at work, but the most loitering about the lobbies and corridors picking up old acquaintance and feeling for public opinfon. About 3 on Wednesday one was loitering about too, for the talk in the house was not interesting—on a Wednesday it seldom is— end one could pick up members' opinion, which is as im portant as public opinion. You were walking along the. committee lobby, wondering which 'room' you would take next, when, as you paused uncertain, you were bumped up against by somebody. He begged your pal-Con and rushed on, and you looked to see who it was ; a member, a stout member; a man you couldn't conceive in a run ; and yet . he's running like mad. You are still staring at him, when wo more men trot past you, one on each side, and they are members, too. You are very puzzled, and see the doer close toyou—' Members' Entrance' above it—dashed open, five members dash from it and plunge furiornly down the 1 bby. Why, what can be the matter ? More domes open, more mem bers rush out; memb ers are t ear i ng p as t you From all points he one direction towards th e h ouse . Th en wigs and gowns ap pear. They tell you, with happy faces, their committees have adjourned; and then come a third class, the gentlemen of the press, hilarious. Why, what's the matter ? Matter I Macau lay is up, and all the members are off to hear him. You join the runners in a moment, and are in the gallery to see the senators who had the start of you perspiring into their places. It was an announcement one hadn't heard for years ; and the passing the word " Macaulay's up" emptied committee-rooms. Now, as of old, it emptied clubs, It was true; he was up, and in f for a long speech; not a mere sput, but an oration. He was in a new place, standine in - the second row (above the Treasury Bench) from the tulle, and looking and sounding all the be tter for the elevation and the clearer atmosphere for orators, which must be found its that little remove from the green boxes. The old voice, the, old manners, and the old style—glorious speaking ? Well prepared, carefully elaborated, confessedly essayish ; but spoken with a perfect art and consummate management ; not up-and-down see-saw talking off a speech, but the grand conversation of a man of the world , confidin g his learning, his recollections, and his logic to a party of gentlemen, and just raising his voice enough to be heard through the room. That is as you heard him when you got in ; but then he was only opening, and waiting for his audience. As the house filled, which it did with marvellous rapidity, he got prouder and more oratorical ; and e subject and wahs then he p oure d out hi s speec h w ith ra pidity, increasing e; ter every sentence, till it b e came a torrent of the richest words, c r r o y m as the th grand was, e ri g ca av l carrying his hearer s with him into enthusiasm (yes, for,, i r o a f n v d i e e uwr) and lookingnd yet not at f leaving epoiitntg them t im e to cheer. A torrent of words—that is the only description of Macaulay's style when he has warmed into speech. And such words. Why, it wasn't 4 o'clock in the afternoon, lunch hardly digested, and yeti the quiet, reserved English gentlemen c o ll ec t e d th ere ie. hear the celebrated orator were as wild with delight es an opera-house after Grisi at 10. You doubt it P See the division; and before Mr. Macaulay had spoken you might have safely have bet fifty to one Lord Hotham would have carried his bill. After that speech the bill was not thrown out, but pitched out. Speeches seldom do affect measures; and yet this speech will have altered British policy on a. great question; and, don't forget, that on a Wednesday, in.. a day sitting I People said, when it was over, that it was superb, and so on ; and one began to have a higher opinion of the House of Commons, though it is queerly "led," see ing that if the Macaulay class of minds would bid for leadership they would get it ; and that perhaps the Lord. Johns only get at it at present by a sort of moral justice, because they work for it. But it wasn't all congratulation.. Mr. Macaulay had rushed through his oration of forty minutes with masterly vigour ; and, looking at his massive+ chest and enormous head, you couldn't be surprised. That. is the sort of man who would go through whatever Ehe undertook. Yet the doubts about his health, which arise when we meet him in the street—he navel meets anybody —when you take advantage of his sphinx-like reverie, " staring right on with calm, eternal eyes," to study the sickly face--would be confirmed by a close inspection on, Wednesday. The great orator was trembling when he eat• down ; the excitement of a triumph—the massive head not withstanding—overcame him ; and he had scarcely the self possession to acknowledge the eager praises which were offered by the Ministers and others it his neighbourhood. Evidently he had reasons for being as quiet as Gibbon was in the house ; and in this case, too, no doubt, we must think enough will have been done for fame and for our pleasure if the history is finished. But his strength was gradually giving way ; he became unequal to the fatigue of his public duties, and in 1856 he wrote to the electors of Edinburgh resigning his seat. The year following he was appointed High Steward of the Bo rough of Cambridge, was made a peer, and his untiroely death followed shortly after. In looking at Macaulay's character as a whole, it is as a literary man rather than as a statesman that he has a claim on our regard ; for although his opinions on the topics that came before him appear both liberal and just, and although his power as an orator was undeniable, lie neither originated any great measure nor attained the highest honour politics can give. It is as an essayist and historian that his memory will survive; but even here his spirit of partisanship will injure his fame. He appears as an advocate rather than as a judge, assumes a license only proper to fiction, and is open to the charge of exaggerating the merit of the side he es poused, and of unduly depreciating those to whom he was opposed. Nevertheless, the fascination of his style is almost unexampled, and his works have not been surpassed in our generation for brilliancy and power. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARX-LANE. To-day's market was scantily supplied with English wheat. Owing to the falling off in the recepts from abroad the trade ruled firm, and in some instances rather more money was eemanded. The show of samples of foreign wheat, ex granary, was' somewhat extensive. In most descriptions a fair business was transacted at full quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request at ex reme rates. Good and fine barley moved off freely at full currencies, but inferior parcels met a slow sale on former ter:us. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, and prices had a downward tendency. We were well supplied with oats, and the trade ruled Leavy at fully the late decline in their value. Beans and peas were in moderate request, and the quota tions were steadily supported. Town-made flour changed hands to a moderate extent at Monday's reduction. Other kinds ruled steady.

Anum ber of carriages were being shunted in order to form a re turn excursion train to Chesterfield and Derby, and either from the engine driver having too much steam on, or from the negligence of the signalling porter, they were backed with great violence against the wall which forms the end of the station, making a clear breach, and sending one carriage through into the station yard. At this moment sonic dozen or more people were passing, but all escaped without serious injury excepting one poor woman, who was so severely in jured by the falling of the wall that she died a few minutes afterwards. Her name was astertained to bo Crouch, a re sident of Derby, and she had, along with her husband, visited Sheffield on business. Mr. Crouch was a few feet in advance of his wife, thus escaping injury ; and, what is most remarkable, a little girl, who was sent to show the way to the station, and who had hold of Mrs. Crouch's hand s was only slightly injured in the foot. THE COAL TRADE..—In consequence of the deten tion of light collier vessels on their passage down to the North from London, tonnago is extremely scarce in the Tyne and north-eastern /Lycra, and some of the pits have been working short time. On Newcastle quay on Monday and Tuesday Bs. 6d. per ton was about the average freigh offered for gas coals to deliver afloat, and in some instances on Monday Bs. 9d. was offered for delivery at wharves. But no doubt if a fleet of light ships were arriving there would be a very considerabl e fall in these high rates.
