THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATIILE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is worldwide. It hrs been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder wiliness°. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which cairied off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from tho good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

To which are added, remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries of "Life within Life," and its advanta.es in de tecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 17, BEDFORD SQUARE. LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, I'centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &e. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and 11 ~ , ,fet succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

CAIRD IN TILE PULPIT.—IIe bas no manu script btfore hirn,tnot a shred of what the bumbler Scotch call paper, andabor as b theye ism abhor in ora to giviemstainenoifna those fe llome; l_ but i who could a moment citeus sentences extemporaneous, or' that masterly symme trical discussion of the subject, so ingenious, so thoughtful, so rich in fine illustration, rising several times in the course of the sermon into a fervid rush of eloquence that you hold your breath to listen to—the excogitation of the moment? In hearing Mr. Caird you have nothing to get over. There is nothing that detracts from the general effect; none of those disagreeable peculiarities and awkwardness in utterance, in gesture, in appearance, in mode of thought, which grievously detract from the pleasure with which we listen to many dis tinguished speakers till we get accustomed to them, and learn to forget their defects in their merits and beauties. He begins quietly, but in a manner which is full of earnestness and feel ing; every word is touched with just the right kind and degree ofemphasis; many single words, and many little sentences which when you recall them donut seem very remarkable, are given in tones which make them absolutely thrill through you: you feel the preacher basin him the elements of a tragic actor who would rival Kean. The attention of the congrega tion is rivetted; the silence is breathless; and as the speaker goes on gathering warmth till he becomes impassioned and itnpatuous, and the tension of the nerves of the hearer be comes almost painful. Mire is abundant ornament in style —if yott were cooler you might probably think some of it carried to the verge of good taste; there is a great amount and variety of the most expressive, apt, and seemingly un studied gesticulation t it is rather as though you were listen ing to the impulsive Italian speaking from head to foot, than to the cool and unexcitable Scot. After two or three such climaxes, with pauses between, after the manner of Dr. Chal mers, the preacher gather: himself up for his peroration, which with the tact of the orator he has made more striking, more touching, more impressive than any preceding portion of his discourse. He is wound up often to an excitement which is painful to see. The full deep voice, so beautifully expressive, already taxed to its utmost extent, breaks into something which is almost a-shriek ; the gesticulation becomes wild; the preacher, who has hitherto held himself to some degree in check, seems to abandon himself to the full tide of his emotion; you feel that not even his eloquentilips can do justice to the rush of thought and feeling within. Two or three minutes in this impassioned strain, and the sermon is done. A few moments of startling silence; you look round the church; every one is bending forward with eyes intent upon the pulpit ; than there is a general breath and stir. You think the sermon has lasted about ten min u t es ' • you c onsult your watch — it bas lasted three - quarters of an hour. —Fraser's Magazine for August. SurrosED MURDER.—On Saturday information was received by Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for East of the finding of the body of a girl, not more than in the Grand Surrey Canal, under such ciSi2tircryrueemayrs's of age,tancesas to lead to the inference that the poor creature, after being abused, bad been cast into the water and droned. A lad, whilst fishing hooked up the body, whtth was removed to the King's Arms Tavern. It was found that the bonnet she had on her head had been turned round so as to hide her face, and the strings tied tightly round her neck. Mrs. Sarah Mitchell, of No. 8, Victoria-street, who was employed to strip and wash the body, said that she discovered such unmistakeable evi dences that the girl had met with foul treatment, that a medical examination was necessary for the ends of justice. Mrs. Louisa Buckctt, of 45, James-street, who also examie ed the body very minutely, was likewise of the same opinion, and she had no doubt but that the girl bad been abused. The mother, Mary Ann Read, a very industrious - and re spectable woman, residing at No. 3, Victoria-place, York street, Walworth, came to the King's Arms and identified the body as being that of her daughter, named Hannah Read. She was a weekly servant, but of in sahoeC: to her Meho home at night to sleep. About a quarter b efore seven on Saturday morning she left home for the purpose situ ation, but she never saw her alive afterwards. She was quite certain that nothing had occurred to induce her to commit self-destruction. Every inquiry is being made in the neighbourhood, but nothing additional has been learned. Mr. Carter has given instructions for the parochial surgern to examine the body, and an inquest will be opened this day. The many rumours afloat in the district have owed great excitement to sena. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING. THE LORD LIEUTENANT AT LONDONDERRY. The series of rejoicings organised in honour of his Excel lency's visit to this city terminated yesterday. Before his departure from " historic Derry," however, he was forced to participate in an incident that smacks somewhat of the ludicrous. Having gone to " Muff" to inspect the Temple moyle Agricultural School, the loyal inhabitants of that euphonically-named town determined to relieve them selves of the imputation which its title suggested, and, accordingly, they presented his lordship with the following petition : "To His Excellency the Earl of Eglinton, Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland, " May it please your Excellency—We, the undersigned inhabitants of the town of Muff, Derry, and its vicinity, beg leave to tender to your Excellency our most cordial wel, come. Your visit to this part of the country gives us an opportunity of soliciting a favour, which, if granted, will be highly appreciated. It will always be considered a dis tinguished honour, if our town, instead of bearing the name Muff,' shall, for the future, bear the name Eglinton.' Many reasons might be given for our desiring this change. One may be mentioned—the great inconvenience arising from our letters being frequently missent to another post town in Donegal, bearing th e same name, and also to Muff, in the county Limerick. By condescending to comply with our request, this inconvenience will be remedied—a high honour will be conferred on our town, and a lasting memo rial will be left of your Excellency's visit to the north." His EXCELLENCY, in reply, said he was flattered by the request of the inhabitants of Muff, and was happy to ac cede to it. He was thankful for the kind reception he had received from all classes, and be was happy to think that, near Derry, a town called by his name would bring him to their remembrance when he would be away. (Cheers.) Through his Excellency's condescension, the " Muffs" are now confined to Limerick and Donegal ! THE REV. MR. SPURGEON. This gentleman's visit to Belfast has set its local press by the ears, one portion of it taking exception to his preaching on the ground of its extravagance, while the other praises him as a model divine. Under these circumstances it may not be out of place to afford the public an opportunity of judging which side has the best of the argument. The fol lowing extracts from his last sermon ought certainly to place the matter beyond dispute : " I do hate the Antinomian doctrine, which says you can be saved while you live in sin. Christ never will save any of his people in their sins, but he will save them from their sins. I understand you have very little of that doctrine among you here. But you have got people here mem bers of your church, poor worldlings, mean and pitiful wretches in God's sight, who live not as heirs of Heaven, but in dishonesty and unrighteousness— merchants, too, ‘ d iC a e m s. p ' ed ' the tobacco Yes.' Have you have you s i u n ga th r e ? iLse , r y va e n s. t , anHda, y — ou ' w Jo a h te n r , ed ha th v e e y p o e u rha s p a s tid w ed ho t c h a e ll `Very well, come in to prayers. Plenty r p u u m t chicory e i s n , t h,eHcoaffvbee you?' among you, I'll be bound, whose yardsticks are not over the measure, and whose pound weights are not such t hat you would like the inspec tors to see them. Your church is like Noah's ark, clean and unclean crowd into it. By your fruits we must judge of you. Practical piety is what we want in these days. I heard a man once talking of saving faith. I did not k now hi s id ea of the matter until I saw him, when, putting his collection on the plate, feeling by the edge whether the piece was a threepenny or a feurpenny. That was his idea of saving faith." Mr. Spurgeon concluded with the following characteristic anecdote :—" Let me illustrate to you the plan of salvation by telling you a little story. You may have heard it before, but I will tell it you again. Once, in a parish in England, there was an old sailor, who went by the name of Jack. He was always drunk—indeed, he had no wit to be anything else. In going along the street, one day, he heard a number of women singing these simple lines— " I'm a poor sinner, And nothing at all, But Jesus Christ Is my all in all.' The man gave up his drunkeaneu, and very soon gave up his wickedness. At last, Jack went to the minister and asked to be admitted to church membership. The minister asked—' What is your experience ? " I have none,' said Jack. Well, then, John, I cannot admit you,' says the minister. Well,' says Jack, have no experience, but— . / am a poor sinner, And nothing at all, But Jesus Christ Is my all in all.' 'Well,' says the minister,' I will ask the deacons about your admission; but you will be expected to state your ex perience.' The deacons were assembled, and Jack was called on to 'answer their questions, to which Jack always re plied : " ' I'm a poor sinner, And nothing at all; But Jesus Christ Is my all in all.' Says the deacon, That is not enough; tell us your doubts and fears, and why you seek admiss:on. Nay,' says Jack, I have no doubt whatever that " 'l'm a poor sinner And nothing at all and I don't fear anything, "'For Jesus Christ Is my alt in ail' It was at last agreed by a majority that Jack should be e mitted, and it was remarked, before long, that he was the best man in the church ; but, as long as Jack lived, he stuck to that rbyrno— "'l'm a poor sinner, And nothing at all ; But Jesus Christ Is my all in all.' That is the whole plan of salvation. May God give you grace ! May God help you to lay it to your hearts ! Act up to those few lines—lay yourselves upon Jesus. And may God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost bless you. Amen." THE GALWAY PACKET STATION. One of the fastest and largest of Mr. Lever's ocean steamers, the Prince Albert, arrived at Halifax on the Gth instant at six a.m., thus making the passage from Galway in nine days and eight hours. Had she not encountered a strong head wind the trip would have been shorter. Mr. Lever has, it is understood, bought another vessel, which he means to supersede the Indian Empire, which, although a trustworthy - ship, is not speedy enough for his purposes. In speaking of this new vessel, the Galway Vindicator says:— " It was with feelings of satisfaction and delight that the public and travelling community heard that the splendid steamship Pacific, commanded by Capt. W. C. Thompson, is to leave this port for New Yak on the 24th inst. The well-known, sea-going qualities of the steamship for safety and swiftness, and the world-wihe reputation which Capt. Thompson has so enviably acquired in his long, arduous, and most successful career as an accomplished navigator and courteous getAleman, must ensure for the Pacillc a full complement of passengers of every class, and as much freight as she can conveniently et.rry. " This magnificent steamship was first engaged in the Australian trade, in which she was eminently successful, having performed some of the fastest pass;:ges on record. She was afterwards taken up by Vie British Government for the conveyance of troops to the Crimea, an i cantinned to be so et gaged long after the war was over, the preference being given to her over many other steamers. " For the last year . she has bee n emp l o y e d in the trade be twee,i Coik and Milford Raven, performing her trips regu larly in all weathers without a singe accident, and as it is a convincing proof of success and unrivalled superiority, it is only necessary to mention the preference which the merchants and travelling community of every part to which she has traded have always given t o this steamship, and the es timation with which they regard her worthy anti popular commander. "The American Steamship Company must be congratu lated on sueti avaluable accession to th e ir line, and no doubt can be entertained that with such magnificent steamships as the Pacific, and with such experienced and successful commanders as Capt.. Tho m p son, t h e compan y w ill b e es tablished upon a firm and profitable basis, the mails will be delivered in a shorter period of time, and the two conti nents brought together in a closer and more rapid commu nication than was ever before known." Th e Propeller sailed from Galway at four o'clock to-day. DISTINGUISHED PASSENGERS BY THE GALWAY ROUTE. Madlle. Piccolomini and party intend to sail frorn Galway eat-ly next month, to fulfil their engagements in the United states. The engagement of this fascinating cantatrice, in conjunction with Garc ia , Giuglini , and Aldighieri, has proved a very prefi , able speculation for the lessee of the Theatre Royal, Dublin, who produced the "Bohemian Girl" this week is Italian ; the first time it was ever per formed here in the st,ft language of the south. NEW ASSISTANT BARISTERS. The Dublin Mercantile Advertiser says :—" The ar rangements for the superannuation of a number of assistant barristers are in progress; and, when they:are completed, a me eting of the Privy Co uncil will be specially convened, in acc ordance with the act o f last sessio n , for creating vacan cies. According to the statements that ha ve reac h e d us the following names are likel y to be submitted to the L or d Lieu tenant in Council for s uperannuation :—Messrs. E. Tickell Armagh P. P.M.M. Murphy , Cavan ; . r • E. Major, Cl are ;'J. 7: Henn, Donegal; T. J ones, Down; Hon. J. Plunkett, Meath; R. Nuno, Ty r one; Jas. Bessonet, aterford ; J.V. Leadrick, Wicklow. *Those names arethat nine in number ; but it is pro bable, in the first instance, only six will be selected for su p er annuation. Mr. Jonathan Hcnn, who has occupied a very distinguished position at the Irish bar, has, it is stated, expressed a wish to retire ; and it is prohable his nephew, Mr. Rice Henn, will he one of the new assistant barristers. We have learned also that Mr. Thomas Lefroy, Q.C., second son of the Lord Chief Justice, and Mr. E. Pennefather, Q.C., nephew of Baron Pennefather, will be amongst the new ap ointments. Amongst those s p oken of a s successful candi- Q.C.,,and Messrs. M o ly neux, Black dates are Mr. Otway, hurtle (con of the Lord Justice of Appeal), Lane, Vance, and L Purcell." -- • - - - DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT AT LONDONDERRY. In connection with the visit of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant to Londonderry, there is ore melancholy acci dent to record, by which the lives of two men have been placed in imminent danger. It would appear that, waiting the arrival of his Excellency from the trip down the Lougit with the Harbour C o mmissioners, two guns, one of them a very large one, were placed opposite that part of the quay where the stainer was to arrive. At two p.m. a shot was fired fr3m each gun. Before reloading both guns were sponged, as It is called, or cleaned out, to prevent any fire being left in side. When, however, the charge was being rammed home in the large gun, the person keeping hi s th um b on t h e vent hole incautiously lifted it, and the air thus get:ing in, caused some remaining sparks in the gun to ignite the charge, end in an instant the two men at the muzzle were blown away. One of them was actually lifted up into the air, and fell a bleeding mass. Fearful to r e l ate , both arms of one of the men, and one arm of the other, were shot right off into the river along with the rammer, and the men sustained some other serious injuries. Part of their clothes were lite rally torn into shreds, and strewn around. Both were taken to the infirmary, where every care was given them. They are lying in a most critical state at present. INTIMIDATION IN THE KING'S COUNTY. A local journal contains the following mragraph, from which it appears that the agricultural population of this county are still s uffering from the discont en t a l rea dy a lluded to in these columns :—" A few nights since a number of mea Cgild at the boom 01114 mp, who Are farm labourera in the employment of Mr. John Sills, of Derrinboy, near Frankford, is this county, and ordered each of them, at the peril of a second asd retributory visit, not to reap the corn fields of that gentleman with a scythe, and with no other implement, if required to do so, than the more slow and popular reaping-hook. No violence was used, as those men have stated, except the threats of punishment if they disre garded this mandate. Mr. Sills is the owner of an extensive farm, which he works in a high state of cultivation. It is likewise asserted that a threatening notice to the same effect was found posted near their residences, but this was not given up to or found by the police, and the men state that they do not know who were their nocturnal visitors." WRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. The annexed despatch was received by telegraph from Queenstown this day : " The barque May Flower, Capt. Platt, from New Orleans to Nantes. Cargo, staves, and nine passengers capsized on the 3d inst., in a gale of wind. Lat. 41 north, long. 44 west. 15 bands lost. Capt.

(From the Birmingham Journal of Saturday.) The principal characteristic of the trade of the town for the last six weeks is the alternating aspect which it has presented; in the course of that brief period there have been indications of a return to a more healthy state of things than has prevailed during the year, with intermitting stages of languor checking progress. At the present moment business is exactly in that condition ; we cannot say that there has been any retrograde Movement since we wrote last week, but we doubt very much whether any advance has been made, or whether the home trade has been quite as good as it was at the commencement of a week age. It is not improbable that for some time the commerce of the country will exhibit appearances of much of the same com plexion as it has done of late; and that we have yet some time to wait here business assumes its natural state. In this very exceptional state of business it is most diffi cult to give an exact idea of the condition of trade in the town generally; its condition at the present time is so thoroughly exceptional in every respect in almost all the leading branches, and the remark applies so completely to factors as well as merchants, that it would be almost im- possible to cite a special instance in which an improvement bad taken place which might not meet with a contradiction, and for both there would be equal foundation. As regards manufacturers, a good many have been busy during the last , fortnight or three weeks upon special orders, whilst others in the same trades have been slack, scarcely sufficient orders on the books to keep the workpeople employed. The factors are in much the same condition ; in the agricultural dis tricts, notwithstanding the circumstance of the markets being thinly attended, trade is unquestionably looking up; the shopkeepers are evincing a disposition to make up assortments of goods of which they are almost out of stock ; and although they make their orders one-half or perhaps one-third what they usually are, even for articles of the smallest value, these are a great help as trade now is, and are sufficient to enable the manufacturers to work on. The factors who take the northern counties and Scotland are not doing so well. The orders sent home are still small, and credit has been so greatly shaken in Glasgow that some time will yet elapse before such progress is made towards re covery that any very decisive improvement can be expected. With respect to Yorkshire and Lancashire, the evidence is such as to encourage the hope that it will be maintained ; the population is more fully employed, and the shopkeepers generally in those districts report that the prospects of trade are more encouraging. Such Is the tenor of the advices received here in the course of the week, and they arc corroborated by the order-sheets sent home, which are undoubtedly better filled. The foreign trade is subject to much the same inequality as is that of this country. Such of the merchants as confine their operations almost exclusively to a particular branch of the export trade are doing only a very moderate amount of business, orders being smaller than they have been for the last few years, whilst all the foreign buyers who have been here lately have been restricting their operations as much es psseible. The merchants who do a more general tilde are doing a better business than they have been for several months. The accounts from South America have not been of a very encouraging character for some time; hut lately there has been a fair sprinkling of orders in hand for those markets, and the latest advices rather tend to show that monetary concerns in that quarter ore becoming easier. The long credit which it is necessary to give is the only drawback on this branch of the export trade, which has of late years very much expanded, and has, in fact, become one of the most important auxiliaries of our foreign trade. The accounts from Australia report very little change in the condition of the trade in that quarter; business appears to have been rather more active, but it is not safe to resume shipments at present, except of such articles as are specially ordered ; upon abstinence in this respect very much depends the restoration of the trade of the colony, so far as its imports are concerned, to something like a healthy condi tion. The commercial advices by the East India mail report trade to be dull, with little prospect of a movement at present. The accounts are pretty much the same in this respect from Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras; at the latter especially trade was languid, and business concerns were not altogether in a satisfactory state. In the continental trade there has been very little change for some time past ; upon the whole, it is dull, and the symptoms of improvement are not such as to be very encouraging. The Russian trade is still an exception to this; again, in the course of the last few days, ordcts from that quarter have been received here, and it is stated that others to a considerable amount may be expected before the season closes. The American trade is still only moderate; the orders received here are small, and are likely to be so this year. The commercial advises from New York describe a slight increase of activity in the demand for imported gocdQ, hut generally business of all kinds continued to show great dulness. In connection with the American trade we may draw attention to a very serious difficulty with which the mer chants of this town have to contend in the transmission of goods to the States. The Cunard Steam-packet Company (possessing one of the finest fleets of boats in the world) now enjoys almost a monopoly in the conveyance of goods between this country and America. Since the Collins Com pany gave up this line merchants have had to depend upon the Cunard steamers in all cases where quickness of transit was essential. Lately, however, they have been subject to repeated disappointment in thisrespect, and in some instances the delay has been attended with serious loss. Goods sent to Liverpool for shipment by one packet are very frequently left until the next, and in fact there is no longer a certainty when merchandise sent to Liverpool may be despatched for New York. The cause of this uncertainty and delay has been thus explained to us. There is a company in existence performing the packet service between the port of Havre and New York ; the Cunard Company look upon this in the light of a rival concern, and are exerting themselves to get the goods shipped at Ilavre on to their own boats; witk a view to secure them, an advantage is offered in the shape of cheap freights. The Cunard Company are conveying goods from Havre to New York at £1 per ton ; whilst the charge from Liverpool to merchants here is D 3 per ton. The com pany keep a small steamer plying continually between Havre and Liverpool ; on its arrival at the latter port the whole of its freight destined for America is at once put on board the packet about to sail, and only the small space left is appropriated to English merchandise. We are informed that it has been an occurrence not unfrequeut of late that the freightage of goods from Havre in the Cunard boats has been so considerable that the company has been compelled to leave other goods consigned for Ncw York by a particular packet ; hence the injury sustained by merchants to which our attention has been called. Of course the Cunard Com pany have a perfect right to act as they think fit in this matter, and as they believe to be consistent with a regard for their own interests ; but the system is certainly working adversely for the interests of the merchants and manufac turers of this country, who are to a great extent in the hands of the Cunard Company for obtaining any redress. The Canada trade continues dull; the shipments of goods from this quarter this year will be comparatively wili ng . Various causes have operated to check the import trade and to depress the internal trade of the country. There is scarcity of money in the colony; produce is not selling at a price sufficiently remunerative to stimulate trade generally ; the panic in the United States last year has also operated adversely for Canada, and the protectionist system adopted by the Legislature has been sufficiently high to diminish the customs, and of course to depress the import trade. The new tariff adopted by the Legislature is less restrictive than it was originally proposed; instead of raising it 25 pis cent., the duties on manufactured goods, which were previously 15, the rate has been fixed at 29 per cent., to which point the scale has risen in a few years from 21j per cent. The 5 per cent. ad valorem duties include iron, whether rod, bar, or hoop, nail and spike rod, hoop or tyre for driving wheels or lecomotives, bent or welded, boiler plates, railroad bars, rolled plates, plate and angle, or other iron, shaped or unshaped, when forming part cf an Iron ship imported in pieces; rivets for ditto; wire, lead in abcet, locomotive And cogino frames, crank glie°l railway car, and locomotive axles; piston rods, guide and slide bars, crank pins, connecting rods, steam-boat and mill rods. Amongst the 20 per cent. ad valorem duties are albata and German silver manufactures, cutlery, polished, of all sorts; glass, fire-arms, leather, plated and gilded ware of all kinds, spades, shovels, axes, hoes, rakes, forks, and edge-tools; scythes and snaiths, bolts, nuts, and washers of iron; spikes, nails, tacks, brads and sprigs, &c. The trade of the district is improving—slowly, it is true, but unquestionably there have been symptoms of greater activity in the manufacturing trades generally In the course of the week. The state of the iron trade very much re sembles that of this town ; it is a fact that whilst some of he mills and forges are not working more than half time, at other establishments they have fully six weeks orders on the books, and this is not confined to one or two firms. For charcoal iron of the best quality there is a tolerably good demand; and fer sheets and plates there is unquestionably more inquiry. An inferior make of iron is very little sought after, and can find sale only at a very low figure; but upon the whole the trade is looking more healthy than it has done since the commencement of the quarter; and as consumers have apparently greater confidence in prices, it is not im probable that such improvement as has been experienced will he maintained. The orders from •Ameri • the last packet were less than was expected; MI ew the fact that the reduction in the price here s n New York for some time before the America sar price of pig iron (best mine) is still quoted at : Ai: • t there have been many sales below that quotation t' 7. the demand is sufficient to render it improbable that t . ere will be any additional furnaces in blast at present. The coal trade has been rather more active during the last week, chiefly in consequence of parties making arrange ments for laying in their winter stock. house coal maintains its price, but for the commodity used at the works prices are a'shade lower. (From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) MANCHESTER, Friday.—The extensive business which has of late been effected in bundle yarns, from 40's down ward (mule and water), appears to be the occasion of a little slackening just now in the demand, to which, probably, the absence of spirit in the cotton market may also, in some degree,'contribute ; but spinners are t.o well situated in regard to orders to be affected in price by a heaviness in Liverpool, or by a little backwardness on the part of their customers, which they clearly see to be only temporary; and, after all, the sales reach a fair aggregate amount, made up of parcels, not individually large, but numerous. There is therefore no sign of diminished strength resulting from somewhat less of activity in this department. Cop twist and pincops are quite firm under a steady demand ; the former fully as hard in price in num bers 36 to 40. Throstle warps, from 24's downwards, are in sufficient request to acquire a bias in favour of sellers. The spinners of 60's to 80's are doing more, and seem nsw to have secured an addition of id. per lb. to the late lowest prices. In finer spinnings the slight symptoms of coming business which we have latterly noticed are becoming rather more apparent. In our last report we stated that there was a little doing in 100's to 126's twofolds (the compositor made us to say "a little less doing"); and we may now repeat the statement. Of the lower numbers of doubled we have to report not less favourably than we did on Tuesday. There has arisen to-day an increased de mand for Indian goods; and some considerable purchases of 40-inch shirtings, jacconets, and of other articles have taken place, giving, of course, a further upward bent to prices. No doubt this is mainly attributable to the gratify ing contents of the letters from Bombay, which advise of very extensive sales to arrive, and at higher prices than before. In several kinds of printing cloths, shirtings, do mestics, T cloths, and long cloths, a steady business con tinues to be done. The makers of some descriptions speak of a certain degree of quietness; and all complain (with too much reason) of the inadequacy of the prices they are able to obtain; but the general tendency, at any rate, is in the right direction. 1.:42 cde luteliigencer of .Saturday.) There is a good business doing, sad many buyers have made their pppearance during the week. The evident up ward tendency of the wool market has had its effect in stimulating the demand, but buyers only make up very modera'e parcels, and are not to be persuaded into pur chasing beyond their cautiously prepared lists. All the re ports agree that up to the present the demand on the part cf the retail trade has been less than was expected, and is attributed to the fact that the great balk of last winter's stock has been left on the drapers' hands. There is, too, a general complaint on the part of the latter that their money comes in very slowly, and they are not in so good a position to buy as they might be. On the other side, we have in the agricultural districts the promise of an early and abundant harvest, and a decided improvement in the labour market in the manufacturing districts; besides which the amount of trade done during the last 18 months has been so small that we may now look forward to a steady improvement. The wool sales are now drawing towards their close, and prices are snore than firm. A full proportion has been taken by Yorkshire buyers, and Bradford bas taken a much larger quantity than usual. T fIE GREAT DUDLEY CANAL TUNNEL. The completion of one of the most remarkable pieces o civil engineering of its class was celebrated on Friday. The new Dudley Tunnel of the Birmingham Canal was then formally opened. The effect will be to give a great impe tus to the coal trade, in its domestic branch, in East Wor cestershire and South Stafferehire. The tunnel is nearly two miles in length, it will allow two boats to go abreast, and is furnished with a double towing path. The construe tien of the tunne!, with that also of the works which have been rendered necessary by it, have cost the Birmingham Canal Company about £300,000, an expenditure, which, in these days of railways Versus canals, would, by some persons, be thought to be somewhat injudicious. On the contrary, however, the investment is a good one. An ex tra toll of 41. per ton will be charged upon all cemmodities paesing t! - Tough it. This 4d. will be appropriated to the paying off of the interest upon the £300,000, and the re paying of the capital. From this toll, if there should be a brisk trade in South Staff rdshire during that time, the tunnel will be free in 15 years. There is very little danger of the traffic being taking taken away by a competing rail way; and, in consequence of its construction, some thousand of acres of valuable thick coal west of the tunnel may now be opened up, to the great profit of the proprietors of the land, and the advantage of the consumers in Birmingham in particular. The tunnel alone is 11 mile in length, but the open work in connection with it has made the total length of the new weak 2 miles. The width is 27 feet; 17 feet of that dis tance is water-way, and the remaining 10 feet is divided into two 5-feet towing paths. The height of the tunnel is 16 feet above the water, which in the middle of the channel is 6 feet deep. The engineers are Messrs. Walker, Burgess, and Cooper, of 'We s t m inster; the resident eng ineer, Mr. James Waller. The fist sod of the tunnel was turned on the 28th December, 1855, since which time between 500 and 600 men have been regularly employed upon it. In its construction, 17 working shafts were used, some of which were 345 feet deep. The geological strata passed through were the bind, marl, coal, ironstone, and basalt. More than the average of life has been sacrificed—the total number of men killed is the tunnel having been ten. On Friday the directors of the Birmingham Canal Com pany came from 13irmingham in their boat upon the canal, and met a numerous company of gentlemen who had assembled at Dudley Port. The train of boats num bered sir. Among the company were Sir George Nicholls, Mr. J. H. H. Foley, M.P.; chairman of the company ; Mr. W. H. W. Foley, M.P.; Mr. W. 0. Foster ' M.P. ; Mr. P. Williams, High Sheriff of Staffordshire; the Mar quis of Chandos, chairman .of et I 1 North- Western Railway; Admiral Moors( eone, di rectors of the London and North- env, sac The railway station and the boats v :corated. The train of boats had scarcely a mishap occurred, which at first looked st ;. Some merc h a ndise boats were following striving bard among each other for the how the tunnel. The first boat was he t through iron ore and was down within a n calcined he water. The surge occasioned by the rapid a and of the succeeding boats beat over her ailed and went down with extraordinary rat five man were in her at the time, and oat :owning. For all the succeeding boats, ext one, she stopped the passage. Afterwar( attempt ing to get into this empty boat, sal. The train entered the tunnel about a quarter to 12, and made the passage through in about 25 minutes. To any one who had ever been through the old tunnel, which this one will in great part supersede, the improvement must have been remarkably striking. Instead of an Bft. dark tunnel, in which men have to lie upon their backs and " leg" through themselves and their boats, with their 20 tons burthen— an operation taking on an average eight hours—here was a tunnel with a channel wide enough for two boats, a towing path on each side railed off from the water by strong iron railing, and lighted with gas. There is now no necessity for one boat to wait for the passing through of the train ha leefore it before a journey can be commenced from the opposite end. Beats can pass etch other and per f am the whole 3,335 yards in 45 minutes, or one-tenth of the time of the passage of the old tunnel. In the words of the engineer:—" Quite as great a difference as between the conveyance of goods by the heavy waggon upon turnpike roads, and of the locomotive engine upon railways." The great improvement was so manifest that loud bursts of applause came from the well laden train of boats directly it entered the tunnel, and it was continued throughout the whole tunnel. The arrivals at the several pieces of illumination, cr at one or other of the seven working shafts that had been left permanently open, being the signals fur the repetition of the applause. The masonry is excellent, there bei n g no moisture perceptible from the sides of the shafts. to soon as the boats were through, they all congrega ted around that in which were the committee of directors, and Sir George Nicholls drank "Success to the Netherton tunnel." The diroctoo having provided the necessaries) the occupaute of The county of Somerset has again been the scene of a murder of singular and atrocious character. In this instance the victim is a little girl, six years old, named Hannah Maria Burgess, daughter of a labourer named Willi am Burgess, working at the Forest Mines, Exmoor, znd the murderer is the child's father. The only motive the wretched parent bad for destroying his daughter was to save the expense of half• a-crown a-week which he paid for her board and lodging. Burgess was left a widower with five children, four of them old enough to go into service, and places were pro cured for them accordingly. The deceased, the youngest of the family, was sent to a neighbour to be kept at the expense of the father, who paid 2s. a week for some time, and then the child was removed to the house of a person named Marley, at an additional cost of sixpence per week. He bad frequently complained of having to pay this weekly sum for the support of Its daughter, and being a man of intemperate habits the tax appeared to be a source of great annoyance to him. On Sunday, the 25th of July, Burgess took the child away from Marley's at four o'clock in the morning, under the pretence of taking her to some of his relatives at Porlock, about 14 miles off. While at work some days afterwards he was asked what had become of the child, and he said he had taken her to Brinsworthv, in Devonshire. Nothing further was heard of the child until last week; and in the meantime Burgess bad left his work and quitted the neighbourhood. In the early part of last week a man going along a secluded spot on Exmoor Forest found the remnants of some female apparel which had evidently been burnt, and the fragments were identified as part of the clothing the child wore when she left Marley's in company with her father. Suspicion being thus excited, a person was sent to Burgess's relations at Porlock, and it was ascertained that neither Burgess nor the child had been there on the Sunday above-mentioned. Some men at work at the iron mines heard that the child was missing, and in conseqoenee commenced searching the forest; they found the turf had been cut, and a grave had been dug about four feet long .by two feet wide, and about three feet in depth, and on throwing out the mould they observed a strong smell of decomposed animal matter, but failed to discover the body. Information was then sent to Superintendent Jeffs, of the Wiveliscombe division of the county constabulary, who at once went in search of the father. At L3nmouth, Devon, it was ascertained that Burgess bad hired a boat and had gone in the direction of the Welsh coast. Mr. Jeffs procured a fast-sailing yacht and went in pursuit; he reached Swansea on Thursday afternoon, and there found Burgess at work at the new docks now in course of construction at that port. The officer arrested him, and charged him on suspicion of murdering his daughter, when he said, " I done it, and I must die for it ; I'd sooner die than live, for I shall never be happy again." He also told the superintendent that he intended to have made away with himself, and saved him the trouble of tak- ing him. The prisoner was temporarily lodged in the police-station at Swansea, and the next day conveyed to Lynmouth, and from thence to Dulverton. He was brought up at the petty sessions there on Saturday, before Mr. J. A. Locke and Capt. Bernard, county magistrates, when some formal evidence having been offered, the prisener was remanded for further examination, and committed in the meantime to the county gaol at Taunton. The prisoner attempted to carry his threat of self-destruc- tion into execution on Saturday morning just prior to being taken before the magistrates. One of his handcuffs was un locked, to allow him to take some refreshment, when he seizes a pair of scissors lying on the table and plunged them into his throat. Several policemen were in the room, and stayed his deadly purpose, but not before he had cut his neck severely. A surgeon (Mr. Collins) was soon at band, and with difficulty the wounds were sewn up. The county police are diligently engaged searching for the body of the child, which had not been found when our parcel was despatched; and the intricate nature of the ground in the forest renders the search a matter of no little difficulty. MURDER.—At the Reading police-court, en Friday, Mary Newell was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of her infant on the 9th August by drowning it in the Thames in the King's Meadow. The unfortunate woman came into court weeping and looking very pale. She was accommodated with a seat near the dock, and, although she exhibited little outward emotion, yet it was evident from her appearance that she felt acutely the serious position in which she was placed. A great crowd had assembled outside the police-court, while a number of persons were present during the examination, all of whom seemed to compassionate the unhappy prisoner, the general impression being that she had been driven to despe ration, and had committed the act from the heartless treat ment she had received. The evidence as given at the inquest was read over to the several witnesses and confirmed, the prisoner declining to ask any glesions of either of them. The usual caution having been given to the prisoner, she made the following statement :—I have known William Francis these six years, and have been in service ever since I knew him. I left Mr. Ice's last Augest, and came to Reading to seek for another situation, and going home I met with him in the street. lie, knowing me, asked me how I was, and if I would go and have some thing to drink. I refused, but by being persuaded I went, and was in his company some hours. He asked me if I was engaged, for he wanted a wife, but he did not want to marry yet. He said his sister was keeping his house. When we parted he did not ask me my address, or where I was going, nor anything, and I thought he did not care anything about me, only far his own ends. I had a situation, and I went to it. I stayed too tnonths and a fort night, but I was so unwell I was obliged to leave. I came home end stayed with my mother until I got Weir. Then I came to Reading and told him how I was, and asked him what I was to do. He knew that I was is trouble by him. He said he did not know what I was to de, for he was engaged. He could not have me, but he would keep the child. I said " Why not have me as well as any one else ?" as he knew that I was in trouble by him. After that I went to the union. There I stayed until the 9:11 August. I came out with the intention of going to Shepherds' Green, but I altered my mind, and came to Reading, and got to Reading about half-past seven. Ile was not in the shop when I went there. His sister and some one else were picking fowls. I asked her where her brother was. She said lie would be in in a few minutes. He came in. I asked Ilan what he thought of the baby. I told him I waet,el wytneuultd out tt with h e some money. I asked him what he intended to do, and wbat I was to do. He said he did not care what the person who - was picking the fowls. His sister said it was e l f] y d t i l t i l i rig! 1 1 1 i He g ht putd. do as his liked -- a I L no use for roe to wait, for he might not be hsme until : le or 12, and being destitute of a farthing, I walked about to see if 1 could see anything of him. I saw no tidings of him. The temptation was very great to lead me t - do what. I did. He so frowned en me nod the dear baby—which he knew was his—it drove me to do what I never thought of before. I went on the road for home, and went inside a field and sat under a hedge till morning, and on Tuesday I went home. Mother asked me what I had done with it—where the baby was. I said I couldn't tell her. I then told her I hrd put It out. The mayor, addressing the prisoner, said : You are committed to the county gaol to take your trial at the ensuing assizes. ESCAPE OF A LUNATIC MURDERER.—It will be in the recollection of our readers that, at the last Cheshire assizes, Henry Bloorufield was charged with the wilful murder of his wife, at Lyme Handley, by killing her with a hatchet as she lay in bed. From the commission of the murder to the day of his trial the prisoner had been con fined in the Cheshire Lunatic Asylum, and on being brought into court the learned judge, Mr. Justice Crompton ordered a jury to be einpanoellee fer the purpose of deciding whether the prisoner was in a fit state of mind to plead. The jury found "That the prisoner is of unsound mind, and not in a fit state to plead or take his trial," and he was accordingly remanded to prison. A representation of the case was made to the Home Secretary, and ou Monday last an nrdzr came for his removal to Bethelehern, St. George's Fie.ds, London. The medical attendant at the Castle thought it would be unwise to handcuff him, and, in company with a turnkey named 011erenhaw, and a boy who was on his way to a reformatory school, he was locked in th e second class compartment of a railway carriage, the train leaving Chester at 10 45 a.m. Nothing particular occurred until the train arrived at the Watford tunnel, which is a mile long, and Omit seventeen miles from London, when, just as the train was emerging from the tunnel, Bloomfield gave the turnkey such a terrific blow, as to knock him senseless on his seat; and the next moment the maniac disappeared through the window. He was seen by several persons in the train to scramble up the embankment of the railway, but all traces of him from the moment disap peared. The train was going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and it is supposed that he can hardly have escapedi unhurt. There is an extensive wood adjoininfeiitf t where he made his escape, and it was thought at _first that he had secreted himself in it, though OD searchi ng the wood with dogs, no trace of aim was disco - hension.
