Daring the past Reek there has been a numerous attendance of buyers at the Leeds cloth halls, and a good demand Was experienced for cloths for the ensuing season. The more favourable advices from the East have given an impulse to India goods at Manchester, and prices have shown an upward tendency ; and the transactions in goods suitable to the home trade have been more active.

The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and exhibited no change of importance. The Money Market remains without any change of importance, but there is a good inquiry, and the rates charged for accommodation continue steady.

Moderate quantities of gold continue to be with drawn from the Bank of England, for transmission to the Continent, nearly £40,000 having been pur chased for that purpose on Saturday. At the meeting of the Union Bank of Australia, held to-day, the report proposing a dividend of £2 per share for the half-year was adopted. The market for English Securities opened with a firmer aspect, and a rise of 1 per cent. took place, owing to the intelligence from France relative to modification of the tariff in that country, and additional support has been given to values by the tendency of political affairs.

For nearly all kinds there was a fair demand, at, in most instances, full prices. Barley changed hands freely, at extreme rates. All other spring corn, including flour, realised previous currencies. Throughout the Continent wheat has sold to a fair ex tent, on former terms. Barley and other produce have ruled about stationary. Several large parcels of wheatand flour have lately been shipped from America to Liverpool. iThe arrivals of English barley last week were exten sive, of other produce very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted ti) 5,837 quarters of wheat, 10,959 barley, 23,303 oats, 1,510 rye, 820 beans, 20 peas, 385 tares, 2,392 linseed, 1,830 rapeseed, 1,340 sundry seeds, and 20 sacks of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was only moderate, and, owing to the damp state of the weather, in very middling condition. The few good and fine samples on offer were disposed of at prices fully equal to Monday last, but all other qualities moved off slowly. In the quo. tations, however, no change took place. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. For the most part millers purchased cautiously ; nevertheless, late rates were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were a slow inquiry. V. SUTTON. Notwithstanding that large supplies of barley came to hand last week, the barley trade ruled steady, and prices were well maintained in every instance. Most kinds of malt were a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. Hood and fine oats wore in fair request, at full quota tions. Low and damp parcels changed hands slowly, at late rates. Beans were a dull inquiry; in prices, however, very little change took place. Tho sale for peas was slow, on former terms. There was a fair demand for flour, at full quotations.

LAW' INTELLIGENCE.-(TUIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) APPEAL.-JUDGMENT.-W_kLLIS V. WALLIS. This was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Torin Kindersicy, decreeing specific performance of an oral agreement for the exchange of a coal-yard and shed for other property by the parties. Their lordships were of opinion that the evidence pro duced by the plaintiff clearly proved the agreement, and dismissed the appeal with costs and costs of the action at law, and granted an injunction restraining further pro• ceedings at law. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT -CORPORATION OF THE SONS OF THE CLERGY This case came before his Honour on a special case, and the question raised was whether the consent of the Charity Commissioners was requisite to the sale of the lands in question. This question depended on the construction of the Act of 1517, cap. 187. It appears that in June, 1658, certain members of the Corporation of tho Sons of the Clergy entered into an agreement for the purchase of the lands of St. Laurence. As it was a valuable purchase they allowed six-sevenths of the purchase-money (X 2,400) to lie out on mortgage. His Honour considered that, as the lands were originally purchased for a valuable consideration by the corporation, it was not necessary to obtain the consent of the Charity Commissioners to the sale of the land. 88 89 591 1004 ' 17& 18& d d 41 51d 5 6 par i p 14 Idi Id jd 1031 1044 I t i) 1004 ICO, 1014 102 19 21 40 42 95 97 74 76 86 E 8 79 81 76 78 1011 102 I d par id 121 8 8 d 98 102 98 102 98 102 92 95 92 94 100 102 92 96 id } d - -d1 - --d 20 201 id ix it par 141 ip 'AY& 41 41 Id VI 21 21 11 I d I 49 d 25 28 6! 7 21 21p1 8 8 19 20 36 371 — p 9 10 36/ 37} 54 66 1I lid 13 IS 6 64 9 94 191 20i 5 Si 9 10 22 23 SECUR: 1 113 115 113 115 113 115 1084 1091 -- 99 100 99 100 99 100 108 109 110 112 1101 1111 1113 11 14 15 170 203 34 45 41 5} 35 37 19 21 13 15 115 120 8 9 231 244 1 If 5 q 101 104 107 109 p 2 21 i I I I 1 1 52 54 77 79 12 14 1) 214 i2 I 4 6 7 52 54 ;130 140 I 35 36 54 3 11 13 BRITISH MINES, Share Mines. r ain. 1 Closing Business Price.

ILTDGIIE24T..--FISHER V. BRIERLEY. The question in this case was whether the deed executed by the late Miss Sander, in 1851, was under the Mortmain Act. The testatrix, by a deed inortis causa, devised her real and personal estate for the purpose of building and en dowing a church in connection with the Church of Eng land, school, school-house, and personage, after her death. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, was of opinion that as the devise was not de prcsetiti, but de futuro, to be carried into effect after her death,:that it was a posthumous devise for charitable purposes, and was null and void under the Mortmain Act. Costs to be paid out of the estate. COURT OF DIVORCE. :Before the Judge Ordinary, Justice Keating, and Baron Channell.) MARSDEN V. MARSDEN. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Andrew Marsden, a draper, carrying on business at Merthyr Tydvil, for a dis solution of marriage on the ground of adultery committed by his wife. The evidence was to the effect that an intimacy sprung up between the petitioner's wife and a solicitor named Merrick, residing in the neighbourhood ; and that during the plaintiff's abseils() in the year 1844, criminal intercourse took place between the parties. Mrs. Marsden, after the discovery of her infidelity, left her husband and took up her residence with Mr. Merrick. Since the act was alleged to have been committed, Mr. Merrick, who was possessed of considerable property, hail died, and that was the reason there was no co-respondent in the suit. Evidence having clearly proved the plaintiff's case, The Court pronounced a decree of dissolution accordingly. LAWRENCE V. LAWRENCE. This suit was instituted by the wife against the husband for a dissolution of marriage by reason of cruelty and adul tery. The case was first heard in November and the allegations fully established, but the case had been postponed in order that the means of alimony might be inquired into. The respondent had offered a gross sum of £75, which had boen accepted by the petitioner. The Court ordered the abovenamed sum to be paid within a week, BANNISTER V. BANNISTER. This suit was commenced by the husband for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery on the part of the wife, who charged cross adultery by the petitioner. The case had been part heard, and had been put back for further evidence, and Mr. M l Queen moved for a further postpone ment, in order to amend the petition, so that other acts of adultery on the part of respondent might be introduced. The Judge Ordinary said, when the case was before the Court on the last occasion, there were charges of recrimi nation of adultery by the wife against her husband, and it stood over for the purpose of allowing further evidence to be produced ; but the evidence on the occasion was stronger as to the recriminatory acts of adultery by the husband as against the wife, and it was then asked that the case might stand over to produce the witness who, it was alleged, could prove the adultery, but there was no evidence that tho witness could prove it. The attorney does not state that ho had examined the witness and had taken her evidence, and it was now asked to amend the petition, and introduce fresh charges of adultery against the wife upon the evidence of two women who, looking through a window, stated . that they saw the respondent committing an act of adultery with a hawker. If the Court were to allow such a course it would be a gross injustice. What the Court would do was to dismiss the respondent from the suit with costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) MR. SPURGEON AT A DISCOUNT.-Dlllll V. YORK. This was an action to recover a sum of money for some fancy boxes, with portraits of celebrated living persons on the lids. Plaintiff produced a variety of boxes, on the lids of which were portraits of Mr. Sergeant Shee, Miss Amy Sedgwick, and Mr. Spurgeon. Defendant had ordered these boxes upon approbation. They were used for sweetmeats. De fendant refused to take them. He pointed out which por traits he would have before they were put on the boxes. Defendant did not at all object to Mr. Sergeant Shee. But plaintiff had put five Spurgeon* in each dozen, and that was too many. Plaintiff—He ordered Spurgeon. His Honour—And Sergeant Sheo too. One is a Roman Catholic and the other a Dissenter. What is the price of a box ? Plaintiff—Tenpence. He ordered one of Puncha. His Honour—Who is Puncha? Plaintiff—Oh he was very famous. His Honour—What for ? Defendant—His abilities. Defendant said he had a strong objection to so many Spurgeons. (Laughter.) His Honour—Well ; I confess I do think five Spurgeon' too many in every dozen. Defendant—Why, I couldn't sell one. (Laughter.) His Honour—Do you mean to say that Spurgeon is un saleable ? (Roars of laughter.) Defendant—Yes. Mr. 0. B.C. Harrison (amicus curia)-1 should think Mr. Spurgeon very much old of place over sweetmeats. His Honour (looking at one of the boxes)—This is Ser geant Shoe. It is a capital portrait. 'Where did you get it from ? Defendant—lt is published by the Illustrated Hews of the World. His Honour—lt is very like the learned sergeant. Plaintiff observed that defendant himself marked a list of the portraits, and no objection was made at the time to Spurgeon. His Honour said he must have the list. Plaintiff said he had not the list with him. Defendant said the goods were quite unsaleable, and were returned the moment they were sent in. IE4 Honour advised plaintiff to take the boxes back and sell them to somebody else. Plaintiff said he couldn't think of such a thing. His Honour—You see I quite agree with Mr. York that five Spurgeons are too many. In fact, defendant says that Mr. Spurgeon is out of date and quite unsaleable. (Roars of laughter.) You can have an adjournment to produce the list. Adjourned accordingly. A TERRIBLE BLOW TO THE TALLY TRADE-BAWDON Y. NEAL. This was a summons to recover a sum of money for some cobourg and lining supplied t o Mrs. Neal. . _ _ Plaintiff declared that Mrs. Neal had her husband's authority to order the goods. His Honour—There she is—ask her. Plaintiff then put the question to her. Mrs. Neal— I had not my husband's authority. Plaintiff then declared that Mr. Neal was present when the goods were sent home, and witnessed a payment of Is. 6d. His Honour—Ask her. Mrs. Neal—He did not. He found me dresses to wear. His Honour—l cannot help you, Mr. Bawdun. There will be a verdict for defendant with costs. This verdict prevents plaintiff cueing again, though he can apply for a now trial. MR. G. RENNIE.—WO are happy to learn that Mr. Rennie, the eminent engineer, is so far recoveze 1 from his serious accident that he was able to be removed from his bed, to which he had been confined for six weeks, to a sofa, on Thursday last. Mr. Rennie continues to progress favour ably, but slowly. One of his legs was so fearfully la cerated that some weeks will elapse before he can possibly walk. COLONY OF VICTORIA.—The following relates to the information received of the intention of the Govern ment of the colony of Victoria to appropriate a portion of the further debenture loan of £3,000,000, to be raised in April, to the discharge of their liabilities on the Geelong and Melbourne Railway :—" Geelong and Melbourne Rail way Company, 36, Cannon-street, Jan. 14.-Bir,—Refer ring to your notice in the City Article of yesterday relating to this company and the Colonial Government, I bEg to annex an extract from the Governor's opening s peech to the new Victoria Parliament on the 18th of October The negotiations between the Government and the &Yee tors of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company I lave been brought to a satisfactory termination, and all i hat remains is to ascertain the amount of liabilities which will require to be provided for under the resolutions of the 1. ate Assembly.

It will not be necessary to ask the Assembly for any vote of money, but merely for legislative authority to charge the cost of the Geelong line upon. the railway loan.'—l am, sir, your obedient servant, S. J. CotliiEl Managing Agent." SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) APPEAL AGAINST THE CONVICTION FOR THE STRIKE. IN RE JENKINS AND OTHERS. It will be remembered that Stephen Jenkins, William Stanley, and George Davis were convicted at the Lambeth Police• court, on the 9th of November last, for "that they" did use threats and intimidation to one John Roy, a jour neyman bricklayer, and for this offence they were adjudged —Jenkins and Stanley for one month, and Davis for 14 days. The bench affirmed the conviction, the appellants to pay all the costs. The prisoners were at once taken into custody. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Oppenheim, for the appellants, argued that the conviction was a bad one, because the words of the statute had not been used, the words there being ' disjunctive," but the words in the conviction were" con unotive." POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FORGED CHEQUE ON THE ARGYLE-PLACE BRANCH OF THE UNION BANK OF LONDON.—Alfred Dampier, of 7, Plough-lane, Notting-hill, was charged by Mr. Inspector Webb, of the C division, before Mr. Beadon, with utteriag on the 10th inst. at Mr. Mark Davis's, cigar merchant, of 67, Regent-quadrant, a forged cheque on the above-named bank, and also with endeavouring to obtain the sum of £6 10s. on the 4th inst., by means of a forged cheque on Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co.'s, bankers, Lombard street, from Mr. Donald, of the St. James's-hall, Picca dilly ; and Maxwell Havelock Knigbtley, residing in the same house as tho other prisoner, was eharged with being concerned in the same. Mr. Mark Davis, cigar merchant, 67, Regent-quadranli said that on the 10th inst. the prisoner Dampier came into his shop, having been in a few times before as a customer, and said he wanted some of his Cubanas, and that his name was Dampier. He showed him a box at 405., and he said he would have them, and gave him a cheque for £5 in pay ment of the same, and he gave him the change, £3. (The cheque was for £5, on the Union Bank of London, Argyle place branch, and was signed C. H. Harlock, in favour of A. Dampier, Esq.) He said he lived at 23, Grosvenor square, and was well known to everybody, and he (Mr. Davis) had no doubt he was. (Laughter.) He believed at first the cheque was genuine, but soon after felt certain he had been "done," and on inquiring of Mr. Roberts, where the prisoner said ho was known, he was told that it was not worth sixpence. Ho went to the bank, and was told there were "no effects," and that the prisoner was not known. He next went to the address the prisoner gave, and found that he was not known there. Having acquainted Mr. Donald, his neighbour, of what occurred on Saturday night, Mr. Donald sent for him and he there found the prisoner had been endeavouring to get rid of another cheque, and the waiter gave him in charge. James Clifford, a wafter at the St. James's Hall, said the priloner Dampier came, into the refreshment department on Satnrday evening and asked for some brandy, and after wards asked if Mr. Donald was in the way, and gave him a cheque for £6 10s., and asked that it might be cashed. [The cheque was for £6 10s. on Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., bankers, of Lombard-street, drawn in favour Of A. Dampier, Esq., and signed C. 11. Knightley.] Tho head waiter came back in 10 minutes with Mr. Davis. Aribrose Sinclair, head waiter at the St. James's Hall, said the last witness gave him the cheque, and, on asking Mr. Donald if it was all right, Mr. Donald said it was no doubt the same man that had taken in Mr. Davis, and on sending for that gentleman he recognised him, and he was given into custody. Inspector Charles Webb, of the C division, said that on Saturday night he went to 7, Plough-lane, Notting-hill, where the prisoner Dampier lodged. He asked for a person named Harlock, but he was not at home. Ho waited some time and Harlock came home. He told him he was charged with being concerned with Dampier in endeavouring to obtain money, on forged cheques—one on the Union Bank of London for £5. He said, " Yes, I gave him the cheque, and expected there would be money there to meet it." He had made inquiry at the bank in Argyle-place, and ascer tained that no such person as Harlock had now, or ever had, money there. The prisoner's lodgings were only 3s. 6d. a week, and the place was very small. He had not been to the bank in Lombard-street yet, but there was an officer present who heard Harlock say he had signed the cheque for £6 10s. and given it t• Dampier. Bernard Shanley, having corroborated the latter part of the inspector's statement, the prisoners, who declined saying anything, were remanded for a week for the attendance of witnesses from the banks. TILE RIGHT HON. M. T. BAINES.—We (Leeds Mercury) state with extreme regret that Mr. Baines is very seriously ill in London. On Thursday, Sir Benjamin Brodie pronounced bim to be in danger, though the danger was not imminent nor recovery impossible ; but his state causes the greatest apprehension to his friends. The me dical report yesterday (Saturday) was, we are glad to say, more f wourable than that of Thursday. TILE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. —The usual cir cular has been sent from tho Treasu to the membrs of the house of Commons sitting on t he Ministerial side of the House as follows :—"Downing-itreet, Jan. 13,. 1860.

I beg leave to express my earnest hope that it may be con sistent with your convenience to attend at the House of Commons at the opening of the session.—l have the hon our to be, &c., PALMERSTON." In pursuance of the orders issued from the Lord Great Chamberlain's Office _prepara tions commenced on Saturday in the Hous e olLords for the Queen's reception, her Majesty having signified her royal intention to open the sessi on i n person. On Thurs day the issue of tickets to peeresses, the eldest sons of peers, and others entitled to be present at the ceremony, will commence at the Chamberlain's-office. Great prepa rations are making, to place the statue of Richard Coeur de Lion, by Baron Marochetti, which formed so prominent an cbject at the Great Exhibition of 18M, in position, near the entrance of the House of Lord, by the day fixed for the opening of Parliament. Her Majesty will arrive at Bucking ham Palace, from 'Windsor Castle, on the 23d inst., re turning to Windsor ou Tuesday, after the ceremony. DE 4T.11 OF LORD LONDES'BOROUGH We have to announce the demise of Lord Londes borough, who expired at half-past 2 a.m. yesterday, at the family residence in Carlton-house -terrace. Thc deceased nobleman had for some months past been in declining health, and din ing the last 10 days •f his fatal illness all hopes of his recovery were given up by the eminent medical gentle Men in at tendaree on his Lordship. The deceased was the second surviving son of Henry first Marquis Conyngham, by his marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Joseph Denison, and was born- on the 21st October, 1805. He was twice married, first, 6th July, 1833, to the Hon. Henrietta Maria Forester, fourth daughter of the late Lord Forester, who died in April, 1841 ; and secondly, in 1847, to Miss Bridgeman, eldest daughter of. Captain the lion. Charles Orlando Bridgeman, which lady sur vives her husband. His Lordship leaves issue by both marriages. As Lord Albert Conyngham he served for a short period in the Royal Horse Guards, but then adopted the diplomatic service. In May, 1824, he was appointed attache to the British Legation at Berlin, and in the following year removed to Vienna, where he remained-until February, 1828, when he was made Secretary of Legation at Florence' In July, 1829, he pro ceeded to Berlin in the same capacity, and con tinued in that employment till June, 1831. He :at in the House of Commons for some years previous to his elevation to the House of Lords, having represented Canterbury from 1835 up to February, 1841, and again from March, 1847, to the early part of 1850, when he was raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Londesborough. In 1849 he assumed the. name of " Denison," in lieu of that of Conyngham, in accordance with the will of his maternal uncle, Mr. Wm. Joseph Denison, who bequeathed to him the bulk or his immense wealth. In politics Lord Londesborough was a stanch sup. porter of the Whig party: He was created by George IV., in 1829, a Knight Commander of the Royal Hanoverian Order, was aFellow of the Royal Society and several other learned institutions, and was a Deputy-Lieutenant of the West Ridin& of York. He is succeeded in his title and extensive landed property by his eldest son by his first mar riage, the Hon. Wm. Henry Forester Denison, M. P. for Scarborough. His lordship, who was born the 19th of June, 1834, was returned at the general election in 1857 for Beverley, and at the late elec tion was elected for Scarborough at the head of the poll. A vacancy occurs in the representation of that borough in the House of Commons by his suc cession to the title. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. PONTEFRACT. There is every probability of a contest for the re presentation of this borough, now vacant by the ac ceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds by AL.. Overend, Q.C., Mr. Childers, who was the unsuccessful can didate on the Liberal side at. the last election, under circumstances which have been prominently brought before the country, has again come forward, and his canvass is said to have been very successful. The Conservatives, however, are determined not to let him " walk over the course." They some two or three weeks ago got up a requisition to Lord Pol lington soliciting him to become a candidate, but his lordship, who is in Italy, has declined to accede to the prayer of the requisition on the ground of ill health. Since his refusal has been received the Con servative party in the borough have prevailed upon Mr. S. Waterhouse, of Halifax, one of the magis trates for the West Riding, to come forward, and he has addressed the electors and commenced a canvass of them. In his address he , says : " Although deeply attached to our Established Church, I respect the rights of conscience in those who differ from me and am anxious they should enjoy the same liberty in reli gious matters that I claim for myself. Upon the subject of reform in Parliament, as to the necessity for which all parties are now agreed, I should give my best consideration to whatever measure may be proposed, by the present or any other Government, in my advocacy of an extension of the franchise both in boroughs and counties. The question of the shipping interest, which will in all probability cceupy the attention of Parliament during next session, shall, as regards the reciprocity clauses, have my best attention. lam assured that no Government can retain the confidence of the House of Commons that would sanction further interference in the affairs of Italy; under this conviction I cannot but 19ok with anxiety to our being identified with the pro posed Congress. I rejoice to see the national sympathies aroused from one end of the kingdom to the other for our mutual protection, and would do all in my power, as I have hitherto done, to encourage that enthusiasm for enrol ment in our various volunteer corps which pervad es all classes; and I should pronounce that a short-sighted policy which would cripple the Executive in perfecting our national de fences. I would offer no factious opposition to the existing Government, and claim the privilege of remaining utt pledged as to the extent to which they would receive my support." . From this address it would appear that Mr. Waterhouse's Conservatism is of a very modified character. Notwithstanding that his friends report that Mr. Watorhouse's canvass is going on very sa tisfactorily, the supporters of Mr. Childers report that that gentleman is sure to be elected. The past experience, however, of candidates for this borough scarcely justifies any conclusion before the truth of anticipations is tested by the result of the poll. LONDON GLEE AND MADRIGAL UNION. - The performances of the Union at the Egyptian Hall during the past week having proved eminently successful, Mr. Mitchell, of Bond-street, has made arrangements for a second series of entertainments, commencing on 'Monday next, when the programme will be varied. The audiences have been nu merous and fashionable, including many of the nobility at present in the metropolis. THE CONVICT Ronson.—A correspondent, who has just received a letter from Western Australia, says that Robson, the notorious forger of the Crystal Palace shares, has duly received his " ticket of leave" from the magistrate at the police court, Perth. _ _ _ SUICIDE.—A melancholy case of self-destruction occurred at Newport on Tuesday morning. A young lady visiting Mr. William Clements ' of Maindee, after bre a kfa s t hung herself from the bed post. We understand that she has been in an asylum, and there is no doubt she committed the rash, act in a fit of temporary insanity.—CardifGuar dian. SHOCKING ACCIDENT FROM READING IN BED. —On Saturday morning, Miss E. Lloyd, of Barrowcliff place, Brighton, who was on a visit at Captain Leach's, Avenue-road Regent's. park, fell asleep while reading in bed, and the candle falling on the bedding set it on fire. The young lady's screams alarmed the family, and she was res cued, and the flames extinguished, but she was so dread fully burnt, particularly about the head, face, and breast, that no hopes are given that she can recover. Miss Lloyd was to have been married on Tuesday. FIRE AT A WADDING MANUFACTORY.—On Satur day morning, between seven and eight o'clock, a destructive fire broke out onlhe premises of Mr. Edward Cotter, wad ding manufacturer, Thomas-street, Brick-lane,Spitalfields. The flames were discovered in the drying-rooms by some of the workmen, who immediately raised an alarm. E ng i nes shortly arrived, and the firemen, with great perseverance, succeeded in preventing the flames spreading,but the fire was not extinguished until the drying •room, a building about 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, was entirely destroyed. The fire was caused by the gas coming in contact with some sheets of wadding . DEATH OF A DEAF AND DUMB IDIOT FROM FIRE. —On Saturday morning Mr. J. Humphreys, the coroner, held an inquest at the Three Compasses Tavern, Dalston, on view of the body of Thomas Hagan, aged seven years, who died from the effects of fire. It seemed from the evi dence that the deceased was deaf and dumb, and an idiot. On Wednesday last he was left in a room by himself, when his dress by some, means ignited while he was standing on the fender. The sister heard his screams and ran to his assistance, but before the flames could be extinguished he was shockingly burned over the whole of the body. He was removed to the Gorman Hospital, where he expired on the followin g day. Verdict — " Accidental death." THE LEEDS CHILD ABDUCTION CASE.—This case again came before the magistrates on Friday. Mrs. King stated that she had been to Clifton and had seen her child, who appeared to be quite comfortable and happy r. Markland, one of the magistrates, stated that the c. assumed a different complexion from that which it seated. The magistrate who had committed the!: for trial was out of town, but on his return he w , ,• doubt consult with the clerk to the justices, and decide what course should now be adopted. The prisoner would there fore be liberated, and sent for when wanted. The Rev. Lucius Arthur, curate at St. Mary's (Protestant) Church, Leeds, intimated his intention before the magistrates of as sisting the mother of the child to take proceedings to obtain a writ of habeas corpus, so that her claim to have posses sion of the child may be fully argued. AMERICAN PASSPORTS, — The American Minis ter, Mr. Dallas, has recently refused to vise the passport of a young American free woman, on the ground that she is a "person of colour." She is free to pay taxes ; but the law of America has decided that " the coloured person has no rights which a white man is bound to respect." , Taxa tion without representation" is no longer tyranny in ‘ United St a t es estimation, provided the " coloured person" has th e misfortune to be descended on the grandmother's side from an African princess, and not from a female English convict. The Sun , which has alw ays no b ly and independently sup ported ported the cause of the African race, observes on this case, " If in the face of this really free country, an Ambassa- , dor of the United States can against all it s perpetrate so gross a crime sentiments, habits, and manners, as well as against reason itself, re we may well sicken at the thought of the insults to which Persons of colour are liable in the great Slave Republic." There are, it is estimated, half a million of free coloured people in the United States. It is perfectly incredible that these persons, with education and refinement much greater than the majority of the white populatio n , w ill muc h longer be held in bondage. The ne groes have increased enormously of late. In 1798 there were 697,897 slaves in the United States; in 1800, 894,090; 1810, 1,191,364; 1820, 1,838,064; 1830, 2,009,000; 1840, 2,487,355 ; 1850, 3,204,313. And it is calculated that the Slave Population of the United States in 1860 will be little short of five millions. The case of John Brown and the frantic excitement which the idea of a negro insurrection has created cannot be concealed from the black population. They will learn their power ; and the coloured race, who. might have been absorbed in the class of free citizens, wilt be the natural leaders of the rebellious Africans. —Derby. shire Courier. PURPLE AND MAI:TE COLOURS.—It may be vgeful to know how to distinguish whether these colours, now so much in vogue, are fast or not. This is aseertaini.id, says a correspondent of the 'Manchester Guardian, 'simply by putting on the ribbon or other fabric a drop of , vin e s. ar , „„ or, still better, of lemon juice, which will che.rige the fast purple or mauve to a crimson, whilst it will destory t4o fugitive one, or render it a dirty yellowish brywn.

Compared with Monday last, there was a considerable falling off in the receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts, both as to number and quality. For most breeds, we have to report a fair, but by no means active, demand at unaltered currencies. The top price of lied was 4s. 10d per Blbs. From the northern counties we received about 1,000 short horns; from the eastern districts 900 Scots, crosses, &c.; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; from Scotland 460 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 100 oxen and heifers. The show of most breeds of sheep was seasonably good. The mutton trade ruled somewhat heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised en this day se'nnight of 2d. per 81bs— the top figure for the best Downs being ss. 4d. per 81bs.
