In this case the plaintiff, as sole surviving executor, pro pounded the will of his brother-in-law, Mr. Allan Brown, who had formerly been a grocer at Newick, near Lewes, in Sussex, and died on Oct. 3, 1861. The plaintiff, who had married a daughter of the deceased, had been joined in the executorship with a Mr. Beard, another son•in law of the deceased, who died subsequent to the commencement of the suit. The defendants are the daughter of the deceased and her husband, and they opposed the will on the ground of informal execution and undue influence on the part of the plaintiff. It appeared that the deceased was about 75 years old at the period of his death, and that in the year 1853 his intellect became affected, and it was found necessary to place him at Grove Hall, a lunatic asylum at Bow, where he was detained until March, 3855. During his confinement his wife and the female defendant, who was then unmar ried, carrried on the business together until 1854, when the former died, and the business was conducted solely by the daughter. On being released from the lunatic asylum the deceased did not resume his business, but went on a visit to different relations, and in April, 1855, he instructed his solicitors at Lewes to draw up a power of attorney, enabling his two sons-in-law to dispose of his business at Newick, and on that disposal having been effected he took a house at Worthing, in Sussex, where he resided until his death. The female defendant lived with her father until 1856,when she married, but his daughter Laura remained with him up to the time of his demise in 1861. The deceased left four daughters beside the female defendant, and a son, who, it appeared had married in 1852 a woman considerably his senior, and shortly afterwards went to America, since which time nothing had been heard respecting him. According to the statement of the plaintiff the property of the deceased was £1,500, but the defendants asserted that it was consi derably more, and by the will in dispute he left the female defendant only £4O, and one-fifth of his property in trust for his son, but in the event of his death it was to be divided amongst his other children. The remainder of his property he divided equally amongst his other children. At the close of the plaintiff's case yesterday, Sergeant Ballantine, who appeared for the defendants, said he should be able to establish that the deceased laboured under delu sions relative to his wife and Mrs. Comber which would leave no doubt as to his insanity, and he would also prove that the doctor of the asylum where he was confined did not consider him entirely recovered when he was removed from his care. He tieetndingly rallpd Mrs. Comber, who stated that the testator was quite childish when she saw him 12 months after her marriage. This morning the witness underwent a very searching cross examination, but the result was that she proved the testator to be a person of unsound mind, The property in question she believed amounted to about £l,BOO. William Comber, said he had formerly lived as shopman to the testator. He was always a person of eccentric habits. During the latter portion of the time he resided with him, he used to put offensive mat ter on his (witness's) coat, and then used to call him Old Stink He frequently used to ask the last witness and one of her sisters whether they had anything to do with Old Stink. He considered him a person of unsound mind. Thomas Rose, another person who had been in the tes tator's service, also deposed to his being a person of very eccentric habits. WESTMINSTER. Mr. Riebard Vincent, medical gentleman, said he had at tended to . testator in 1852. He was then in a very bad state of mind, and finally it was thought most desirable to Bend him to a lunatic asylum. The ease will not terminate today. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE ILINE. This bankrupt was an undergraduate at Older], and he now applied to be released from custody. His debts are stated as about £2,000, and the only assets is a reversionary interest of the value of about £1,500 on the death of his mother. Mr. Brough and Mr. Kent opposed for creditors on the ground that the bankrupt had obtained credit, his only prospect of payment being the interest in question. His Honour did not consider this was a case coming within the meaning of the act, and granted the release. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE T. F. V. SMITH. This bankrupt had come over from St. John's, New Brunswick, on affairs connected with the International Exhibition, but was arrested as he was on the point of returning, and his property at St. John's had been seized by creditors there. _ THE POOR GAROTTER. The debts are stated at £5,300 ; assets, £6,000. (From Punch.) After some discussion, it was agreed that the bankrupt should have protection and proceed to St. John's to see whether them , would be any surplus after administration in the colony. The poor Garotter, fierce, and rude, How shall we soften that man's mind, Reclaim him to a milder mood, And teach him to be good and kind ? Oh I let us send him to a place, Of refuge, not to call it gaol, And treat with gentleness his case, For fear severity might fail. SIIERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE LATE UNFORTUNATE MRS. ELMSLIE'S ESTATE. BALDWIN V. KOWARD. This was an application for a new trial, Mr. Ashley, of Charles-square, Hoxton, appearing for the plaintiff, and Mr. Besley for defendant, Mr. Besley said his client was mortgagee of some houses on an estate known as the Elmslie estate. His Honour might remember that some time ago Mrs. Elmslie was bar barously murdered, and from that time the name of the Elmslie estate had applied to the property belonging to 'the unfortunate lady. Now plaintiff had teeovered a verdict in the former action on the evidence of a Mr. Aubrey, the defendant's surveyor, who admitted to some extent ordering certain work on the part of the defendant. Mr. Aubrey on referring to letters would contradict his former evidence, and as the money was in court no harm could be done by granting a new trial. We'll clothe him warm, and feed him well, If not on sausages and tripe, Though against beer we close his cell, And wean him from his nasty pipe : Give him good books and tracts to read, And teach him texts on texts to string, Repeat his prayers, recite his creed. And psalms and hymns with unction sing. We'll practise him in heaving sighs Remorseful, and compunctious groans. We'll school him to upturn his eyes, In going on his marrowbones, To use the pocket handkerchief, Snuffle, and blow his nose, and weep, We trust we've changed this blessed thief Out of a wolf into a sheep. In healthy, not excessive, toil, His strength we'll use him to exert, His easy labour shall not spoil His hands; for he must not be hurt. And oh I on no account the Cat Across his shoulders would we lay. Score naughty soldiers' back with that; The poor Garotter never flay. Corrected, chastened, and subdued, Converted, rendered meek and mild, Repentant, humbled and renewed, In brawny form a little child, The period of his sentence o'er, Not half, we'll pity and forgive, Bidding him go and rob no more, But like a Saint in future live. His Honour did not see how he could do so. It was per fectly clear that Aubrey had admitted having ordered the work. Mr. Ashley—And he was defendant's witness. His Honour—Yes. I must refuse the application with costs. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. 'Mr ERIAL WEEKLY A VERAGES.

With beasts the market to-day was tolerably well, but , not to say heavily, supplied, the time of year considered and their general quality was good. Prime Scots, Downs, shorthorns, Lee., commanded a steady sale at full prices, the top quotation being quite 58 per 81bs ; but inferior beasts moved off slowly at late rates. Although the supply of sheep was small, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The best Downs sold at 513 8d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was limited, moved off slowly at late rates, via., from 3s 6d to 4s 6d per 81bs. The dead markets being heavily supplied, pork was very dull, and 4d per 81bs. cheaper.

From the evidence of William Gordon, a very active plain clothes officer of the C Division, it appeared that at a late hour the previous night, in St. Martin's-lane, he otserved the prisoners walking down the lane apparently drunk, and staggering about. Knowing them as thieves he watched them, and saw them go into several different places, most of the time pretending to be drunk and rolling about. Donovan then left Bartram and followed a person carrying a black travelling bag. Cook, 186 C, then came up, when the prisoners, catching sight of him, they shook hands with each other, and then ran away, one towards the " Dials," the other in the direction of Charing-cross. They (the officers) then pursued them and took them into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox, Gordon said that Bartram was convicted at the Westminster Sessions in 1860, and sen tenced to 12 months' imprisonment for being found in pos • sessions of housebreaking tools. He also knew Donovan as a thief, and he had been convicted for being concerned with others in stealing a publican's watch. Donovan was the brother;of the man who had been charged at Bow -street with a garotte robbery. Cook, 106 C, confirmed Gordon's evidence, and said that on the way to the station Bartram threatened to knock his eye out. Donovan said he was not allowed to earn an honest living. Mr. Knox said there could be little doubt about their object. They were seen walking about apparently drunk, and yet turned out to be sober, and they were known bad characters. He should commit the prisoners for three months each with hard labour. Bartram nodded in a menacing manner to Gordon as ha was leaving the dock. THE DISAGREEABLE SURPRISE.—CHAPTER THE SE COND.—Mary Ann Everett was brought from Walton street station-house, charged with going to the house of her daughter's husband and creating a disturbance. The daughter was sworn, when it was stated to the magis trate that the defendant had been yesterday charged by the former's husband, a Mr. Craven, of St. Michael's-place, Pimlico, with making a serious disturbance at his house on Tuesday night, and was required yesterday to enter into recognizances to keep the peace. Complainant said—l charge her with creating a great disturbance at my house last night. She is my mether,and I have had a great deal of unhappiness through her, and she has made much misery between myself and husband. She has been cautioned not to come, but she persists in doing so, and coming yesterday behaved so bad that I was obliged to give her into custody. Mr. Paynter—What is the cause of her making a dis turbance ? Complainant—She is a great drunkard unfortunately, and her family from her misconduct, which has long con tinued, have been ashamed of her. My hus band is natur ally much annoyed at her coming to the house and creating this disturbance, and I fear that I shall be parted from him if it continue. She has come to my house and demanded money, which I gave her. Defendant—l went to the house yesterday after I was dis charged; I only went to get a frock to put on, for my own had been torn off my back. I've not had bite or sup in my mouth since Monday. Mr. Paynter—You don't expect I believe that, do you? Defendant—lt is true. Mr. Paynter—Has she any more children ? Complainant Yes, three others. Mr. Paynter—And a husband ? Defendant—Yes, I have a husband. Mr. Paynter—lf you want money, why don't you go to him ? Defendant—He has left me these nine years. Mr. Paynter—What is he ? Defendant—A coach-horse proprietor, I have not seen him for years. Mr. Paynter—You must not go and annoy your daughter and her husband ; it cannot be permitted. If you want support you must obtain it from your husband ; and, if he refuses, you can go to the parish officers and they will com pel him. You must find a surety in X 5 or be imprisoned for seven days. Sho was committed. A " VERY" STRANGE STORY.—A very singular occurrence is reported to have happened in the North Sea a few days ago. On the 2d inst. the steamer Jutland, of Hull, Captain Watson, while on her passage from Pillau, was caught in a storm. A sea struck the vessel, and a goose belonging to Mr. Tate, the second engineer of the Jutland, and which had a label tied to its leg bearing the owner's name and address, was washed overboard. The poor bird was carried away and lost sight of. It appears that some time afterwards it was devoured iby a shark. Subsequently the shark was entrapped in the traul of the fishing smack Violet, of Hull. On the net being hove in the monster was opened and the lost bird was found in its stomach. Observing the label on its leg, the captain of the smack determined to take care of it until he got home. On his arrival at Hull on Saturday ho went to the address in dicated on the label presented the goose to the engineer,who was naturally astoundod to see the lost bird. Hcshowovor, recovered his surprise as well as his property, took it home and had it cooked for dinner on the following day, and pro nounced the twice eaten biped to be excellent. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—An inqueat was held at Chatham yesterday evening by Mr. T. Hills, the coroner for that borough, on the body of Edward Tanser,aged 37 years,who met with his death on the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway under the following circumstances :—The deceased was the head guard of the up luggage train, which was due at Chatham shortly after 11 p.m. On arriving at the New Brompton station it was found necessary to remove two of the trucks and put on two others, for which purpose the train had to be shunted. The night was rather dark, and .while the deceased was engaged in superintending the shunting he was caught between the buffers of one of the trucks, as he was found lying on the line after the train had removed. The unfortunate man was at once taken to Chat ham, where he lingered in great agony until the following morning, when he expired, previous to which he informed his wife and the p o li ce - cons t a bl e th a t no one but himself was to blame for the accident. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." _e GASLIGIIT IN RAILWAY TRAINS.—The system of lighting railway carriages with gas according to Newall's patent has been introduced upon the Scottish Central Rail way. The first gas-lit train left Edinburgh on Monday evening for Penh, the whole of ..the carriages being bril liantly lighted by means of pipes with expanding (couplings carried from roof to root) communicating with the reservoir placed in a specially constructed compartment of the guard's break-van. Throughout the journey the lights remained perfectly steady and clear, and the passengers were much gratified with the successful introduction of this vastly superior method of illumination. The evening train on Tuesday was lit in the same manner; and should the pre sent trial be satisfactory, it is expected that the system will be extended to the other night trains on the line, and. pro , bably introduced on the neighbouring railways. line evidence adduced in the late turf disputes is described as being " unstable."

The annual d'nner of the Smithfield Cattle Club took place last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, when covers were laid for about 150 gentlemen. Lord Feversham, the president, occupied the chair, and was supported on the right by LordWalsingham (president elect for 1863), Lord Tredegar, Lord Beruers, Sir John H. Maxwell, Sir Walter Stirling, Captain Brereton, Mr. H. Wilson, the Rev. Mr. Upshir, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. Gib • lett, Mr. John Clayden (chairman of the Agricultural Hall Company), Mr. Overman, Captain Tennant, Mr. Knowles, Mr. Baker, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr- Torr, Mr. B. Gibbs, Mr. S. Sidney, and other eminent agriculturists. " The Health of her Majesty" was proposed, and drunk with the greatest enthusiasm by the company. The noble CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The Health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," referred to the recent honour done to the club by the visit of his Royal Highness to the show at its new home at IslingtonAgricultural Hall. His Royal High. ness was not only pleased to express his high grata. cation at the efforts of the club to improve that staple com modity of the food of the country, meat, but declared his intention of becoming a life member of the Smithfield Club. (Cheers.) He hoped, and had no doubt, that when pro posed his Royal Highness would be elected by acclamation, and not in the ordinary course. They had also the honour of a visit this year from the Commander-in-Chief, the Duchess and Princess Mary of Cambridge, and other mem bers of the Royal family, who all expressed themselves highly gratified with the show as well as the general ar rangements. (Hear, hear.) This was a great gratification, and showed the esteem in which the club was held by the highest circles. The toast was drunk with great applause. The next toast was " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," to which Sir J. H. Maxwell responded for the Navy, Capt. Brereton for the Army, and Mr. Fitzroy for the Volunteers. The noble PRESIDENT said he had now to propose the toast of the evening, " The Smithfield Club." (Cheers.) It was not necessary for him, in proposing that toast, to go into the foundation and history of the club, but he could not help offering his earnest congratulations on the altered condition and improved circumstances under which the club met on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) In fact, the year 1862 would ever be remembered in the annals of the club, as it was the year which had seen the foundation and inauguration of the Agricultural Hall. (Hear, hear.) It was a noble undertaking, well conceived, and admirably carried out. To his noble friend on his left (Lord Berners) to another valued member whose loss they all deplored, the late Mr. Jonas Webb, and to other gentlemen connected with them—to their able architects and contractors, and to a most indefatigable secretary, Mr. Sidney, were they in debted for the production of that noble building, in which they were enabled to hold their show for the present year. (Hear, hear.) It was a handsome and commodious struc ture, admirably adapted to the purpose for which it was intended, and in one of the most admirably situate and central localities of the metropolis. (Hear, hear.) Having said this much about the building, he would now refer to the show. They had this year a larger show of implements of agriculture than was ever before exhibited, as well as a first-rate show of seeds and roots—he believed all of the best that could be produced in the country. (Hear, bear.) And then, with regard to their show of stock, take it as a whole, if it had ever been equalled, it certainly had never been sur passed. Their Devons, their Herefords, their shorthorns, and even the cross-breeds of this year, as proved by the silver cup having been won by a cross-bred animal, were beautiful specimens ; and among the sheep there were their Southdowns, the Leicesters, and those improving breeds, the Cotswolds and the Lincolns, and the pigs, each class respectively reflecting the highest credit upon the graziers of this country. Of course, it was a matter of opinion as to whether the breeds of cattle and stock in this country had really improved. He had heard opinions hazarded that the prize animals of the present day were not better than they were 25 years ago. (Oh, oh I) All he (Lord Feversham could say was that he was of a very diff erent op i n i on. ! (Applause.) He (the noble chairman) could well recollect the character of the animals exhibited when he first became a member of that club, 25 years ago, and they were then distinguished for the great and uneven lumps of fat they exhibited in various parts of their bodies. Instead of that, animals were now more evenly fed, there was a present evenness in their structure, and anything like obesity was diffused throughout the whole body. The object was clearly attained by providing the largest quantity of the most im proved quality of meat—beef, mutton, and pork; and, that being the case, the club had clearly fulfilled its mission— namely, the improvement of the character and quantity of the food of the people. (Hear, hoar.) There could be no doubt that the pursuit of agriculture was both interesting and useful, and, conducted upon right principles, might always be made, financially speaking-, profitable. It was a matter in which the great masses of the public took a deep and daily growing interest. This was evident from the num bers of people who annually flocked to their shows. (Hear.) Indeed, there was not a class in the community which did not exhibit a deep interest in agriculture; but what would tend still more to increase that interest would be that the gentry of our land, when they attended these agricultural gatherings, should confine themselves to the object for which they took place, and not do the injury they did by talking in their after-dinner speeches politics instead of ag riculture. (Loud cheers.) After again congratulating the club on the improved state of its finances and general pro spects, the noble chairman concluded by proposing " The Smithfield Cattle Club, and continued prosperity to it." The toast was enthusiastically responded to by the as sembly. The various awards of silver tazzas and cups were here presented to the successful competitors, and their healths were respectively proposed and drunk amid great applause. Lord BERNERS proposed " The Health of the Chairman," in eulogistic terms, to which Lord FEVERSICAM, in responding, again congratulated the club on its improved position in every respect, and con cluded by proposing " The Vice-Presidents of the Club." Lord BERNERS, in responding to this toast, referred to the distress in Lancashire, and the gratification he had in stating that most of the agricultural parishes throughout the kingdom had already moved, or were moving, in aid of the operatives of those distressed districts, He expressed a hope that Government would take steps to provide against such a calamity in future, and thought that the area of liability of rating should be extended, that the law of settle ment should be abolished, and that the taxation should be placed upon property, and not upon poverty. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The President Elect" for the ensuing year, to which Lord WALSINGHAII replied. The healths of the Judges, the Stewards, the Hon. Secretary of the Club, the Chairman of the Agricultural Hall Company (Mr. John Clayd en), and other toasts having also been disposed of, the company separated. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—The Fraserburgh correspondent of the Northern Ensign gives an account of a very marvellous escape made there by two men on Sunday morning. About seven o'clock, a small boat, with two men on board, was observed at the back of a dangerous ridge of rocks known as the " Bushes," near the harbour. There was a heavy sea running at the time, and no hopes were entertained of the men being able to reach the shore. A pilot-boat crew, at great risk, ventured out and succeeded in bringing them safe to the harbour. They proved to be the crew of the small sloop Happy Return, of Dundee, Captain George Henderson, from Newcastle to Spey with coals. When about seven miles off Fraserburgh, the vessel sprang a leak and became unmanageable. The two men then betook themselves to the small boat, with nothing but their wearing clothes, and had little more than reached the punt when the sloop foundered. They laboured to reach the land under a heavy sea for several hours, and at last succeeded, making an escape which is truly wonderful. They were sent home on Monday by Mr. Couper, agent for the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. ELOPEMENT IN THE EAST RIDING.—A strange story has been current in trie Wold district during the past few days. A farmer of middle age has eloped with the young wife of a neighbour in the same village. Mr. it., it seems, is a married man without family, and pretty well off, and the lady with whom he is stated to have elaped is said to b much younger and very pretty, though occupying an ;erior social position, and has two drawbacks in th e shape of -;hildren, Mr. R. and Mrs. T. are stated o have visited Melton on Saturday week; and tt been dg e co f n r v om t. t n he fact that the gentleman has, have intended g seems to have his elopingp r property e together.rt y into cashas opportunitylud i croussi nee incidentha reoffered , tu tn rn ju in r g y i f n ro t m he l\ f l a a c l e to , n fre th m e gentlemanhastened accidentalthireseerievseodlaatnion.l returning w hi c h blood flowed freel y ; and, on reaching home, the h us band of the pretty wife found that his partner's face was also stained with blood, but for which she had no wound toin cco unt. The husband's jealousy seems to ha ve been aroused, and a quarrel resulted, followed in a day or two by the simultaneous disappearance of Mrs. T. and Mrs. who have taken with them the two children. All seem to have gore off in a hurry, taking no luggage, and for a while lulling suspicion. Mr. It. is, however, believed to be well supplied with cash. The husband and wife of the fugitives have instituted a fruitless search after their re spective partners, but no trace of them can be get beyond Melton, whence they seem to have departed no one knows whither.—M anchester Examiner. No REASONABLE OFFER REFUSED.—Otho's late kingdom seems to hang quite heavy in the market. No one will make the least bid for it. We should recommend its being carried to some marine store dealer's, where they write up, " The Best Price Given for Grease."--- Punch. INFALLIBILITY OF THE FEMALE ►SEX.—The ladies have a belief that Parisian corsets wear much longer than any other ones, and the dear creatures are right, as they always are, for we beg leave to point to the occupation of Rome by Louis Napoleon's army as an incontestable proof of how exceedingly lasting French stays are.— Punch. _ _ Importing tea without colour on the leaf pre vents the Chinese passing off inferior leaves as in the usual kinds.

The report of the directors states that the extent of line open fur traffic at the commencement of the half-yenr consisted cf 1321 miles from Bulsar to Polio. On the 3d September last a further portion o pn , making of e34ei nifrom Dolia to Mehinoodabad, was o a total length of 197•1 miles of line open for traffic. This last portion included the Mhye Viaduct, a work of considerable magnitude and importance. The works on the remaining 18 miles to Ahmedabad (the northern extremity of the line) were so nearly finished when the last advices were despatched from India that an engine had run within half a mile of that place, and there was little doubt that the additional mileage was now open for traffic. Great progress had been made in the works south of Bulsar, including the important bridges over the Veturnee and Bas:itin rivers. The complete opening to the north would enable those works tei. h e carried on with increased activity. It was hopes the line would be opened to Dhanoo in the ensuing spring, and to Bombay in the summer or autumn, so as to make the railway available at the earliest practicable period for the transport of cotton and other goods from the northern districts to the ship-. ping wharves of Bombay. The accounts from India continued to assure the directors that upon the opening of the lino throughout, a very large stream of traffic would flow over it, which the extremely favourable gradients would admit of being carried at a very reasonable cost. The importance of this consideration could hardly be exaggerated. The Indian Tramway Company were proposing among the first of their works to connect a district rich in cotton and other produce with the main line of this railway. It was deemed necessary to make provi sion for the issue of fresh share capital to the extent of £1,000,000, and the sanction of the Secretary of State for India in Council had bee'a obtained for taken up, guaranteeing interest th ereon at t h e rate of 5 p er cent. per annum.

S I'A7E OF 7RADR, DUNDEE, Dec. 9.—The demand for flax in the regular market is not activ!,, but prices are main tained. About 60 tong of flax, landed damaged, were sold at auctiP.,n to-day, and brought their full value. Tow find codilla are also quiet, but firmly held. To day there is more inquiry for jute, and any suitable parcels are readily sold at a sm4ll ad vance on late rates. The yarn market has been very animated to-day again, and a '.arge business done in flax, tow, and jute qualities, at very full prices, in many instances for forward delivery in January and February next. The demand for hessiaus, bagging, and some other jute fabrics, also for Forfar goods generally, and for sailcloth continues remark ably active,,almost every maker being ti long way foresold. To-day the transactions er,i,cred into were numerous and extensive, and wire would have been done had buyers been able to place their orders, but some manufacturers positively refuse to sell more, having already so many goods to deliver. LEICESTER, 10TIL—Business in the general hosiery department continues active for the time of the year, and there is rather more than an average amount doing. In the country districts business is flat, and the operatives are only partially employed. Yarns hold high in price, worsted spinners being ab well employed, and the mark e t cont i nues tfirm.oler I l tolerably wools there is no imp or t an t c h ange, but prices are firm. NOTTINGHAM, 10TH.—There is a very little change to notice in the lace trade. During the past few days business has been quiet, and not much alteration is anticipated until after Christmas. All classes of cotton goods are difficult to sell at the pre sent high prices. Very few buyers come into the market, and operations are limited. The demand for black silk laces is slightly improving ; other descriptions of silk goods are quiet. In hosiery there is not much doing. There are a few small orders in the market, but business generally is flat. Yarns are scarce and exceedingly dear. THE CHESTERFIELD MU.RDER. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE. CHESTERFIELD, WEDNESDAY. The murder of poor Cooper seems destined to pro • duce permanent ill-feeling between the English and Irish of this district. Yesterday the workmen em ployed at some pits at Sheepbridge, about two miles north of this place, rose in a body and ordered all the Irish from the works. The latter resisted, and a desperate fight ensued. Ultimately the Hibernians were vanquished, and forced to take refuge in flight. Two of them were severely cut and hurt about the head, and the whole body were pursued for nearly a mile by the exasperated Saxons. The English then returned to the works, collected the tools of the de feated Irish, and sent them after them in a cart with the significant intimation as to what the Irish might expect if they again showed themselves on the works. This morning the Hibernians applied to the magistrates for summonses against their assail ants, but being ignorant of their names were unable to obtain them. A similar affray also took place at Dronfield yes terday and at Clay Cross and Alfreton disturbances have also taken place, it being the intention of the Derbyshire colliers to drive the Irish to seek f or work in some other county. The exasperation felt by those rough men at the cowardly murder of poor Cooper is not easily described; but the feeling against the Irish is rapidly spreading, and unless the authorities interfere most serious results may he anticipated. The young woman bolt is very much better to day, and it is expected she will be able to appear against the two men in custody on Friday. The Diaro of Madrid publishes a letter from the city of Mexico of the 29th of October, which affirms that great anarchy exists in the country. It says : . " Colonel Buitron is making the Government of Juarez pay dearly for his services. The famous Rafael Cuellor does the same. Those men pillage the country in such a manner as to get themselves bought off by the Government which frees itself from their hostility by loading them with piastres. Colonel Bojas, who com mands a battalion, is notorious for his atrocious crimes. The division of Comonfort is 5,100 strong ; he has three batteries of artillery. His troops arrived at Azeapogollo in a deplorable state. Comonfort and Juarez are still on bad terms with each other. Juarez cannot forget that Comonfort imprisoned him, and the latter has only one idea, which is to get rid of Juarez in order to obtain the presidency himself. The Government of Juarez is in an extreme state of penury, and does not know what to do to assure the service of the army of the East, which is sensibly diminishing from desertion caused by famine and misery." RATHER SATIRICAL. Captain Swellington : " What a beautiful muff, Miss Merriton—charming muff— there's something very delightful in a muff." Miss Mer iiton: "Dear me, Captain Swellington, is your trumpeter dead ?"—Punch. A WORD ABOUT PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD.—The docks—of which there are nine in the Portsmouth yard— nearly all speak of the transition state of our marine affairs. 'With the exception of two, they aro all too short for the long frigates, both iron and wood, which have superseded our towering three-deckers. Like growing boys, these new ships have outgrown their docks, and now the latter must have their tucks let out, if we may be allowed to use a tailor's image. On two of the docks this operation has been performed, end we saw the famous transport Himalaya high and dry in one of them, exposing in all her length the beauty of her finely curved lines. The necessity for in creasing the dry dock accommodation in this yard is be coming day by day more apparent, as, since the introduc tion of the iron-plated frigates, it is found that the bottom-cleaning process is required much more frequently than with wooden ships. Both the Warrior and the Black Prince have thus fouled in a very short space of time, and no composition has yet been found effectual against the bar nacles and seaweeds which cling to them.--puce a Week.
