LAW INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN'S BENCH—Nov. 27. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) ARTIS V. STEVENS AND TWO OTHERS. Mr. James and Mr. Udall were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Huddleston for the defendants. This was an action of assault and battery. The three defendants were father, mother, and son. The son Pleaded that the plaintiff had first assaulted him, and the father and mother pleaded that they had committed the assault in deferice of their son. It appeared in evidence that on the Bth of July last, he plaintiff, who was a tailor, then residing in Belgrave mews East, had taken a bet from the elder defendant of three half-crowns to one on the result of the Westminster election. The defendant gave the odds that General Evans would not have a majority of 400 over Lord Maidstone, and the plaintiff took the odds. When the election was over, the younger defendant said that he had got a list of the numbers, but the plaintiff snatched the paper out of his hands, and would not give it to him again. Hence arose a quarrel, in the course of which the younger defendant struck the plaintiff with his own sleeve-board, and the ulna bone of the plaintiff's arm was broken. The plaintiff's witnesses swore that all the violence proceeded from the defendants, who burst into the plaintiff's room, and commenced a furious attack upon hith. The defendants' witnesses stated that the plaintiff provoked the younger defendant by the most annoying and insulting language ; and that the younger defendant ran up to the plaintiff's room, on which the plaintiff took up a poker a nd s t ruc k a t him, and that whatever the younger defendant had done had been in his own defence. Mrs. Stevens was described as having only interfered to try and put an end to the contest. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages one farthing, as against the younger defendant, and a verdict for the other two defendants. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE WISTANLEY AND WISTANLEY. This was a sitting appointed for the last examination in the matter of Edward Winstanley and Henry G. Winstanley, of No. 7, Poultry, chymists and druggists.

Win stanley, being deficiency of cash of which there is no account in the book, 1,510/. ; losses on bad debts, 1,1341. There was no opposition whatever either by any cre ditor or the assignees. Passed accordingly. PREROGATIVE COURT. MACS AGAINST MACK, BY HER GUARDIAN. This was a testamentary suit, arising out of the last will of Mr. William Mack, of Burnham, in the county of Norfolk, who died on the 9th day of May, 1851, pos sessed of personal estate amounting to about 13,000/. The instrument was dated the 18th of May, 1850, and t appeared that two days after its execution, the testator became a confirmed lunatic. Under the will the whole of his estate was given to his wife absolutely, and con stituted her sole executrix. A child was born subse quently to the period at which the deceased became insane, and the uncle now appeared as its guardian, and contested the validity of the instrument on the ground of insanity. The will was propounded in an allegation setting forth that it was duly executed, the deceased having given the first instructions for its preparation so far back as the preceding January, when his solicitor suggested that it was desirable that there should be another executor ; upon which the deceased took time to consider the subject, but in the month of March wrote a letter desiring a short will to be drawn up, giving the property to his wife, and stating that he meant to ap point her sole executrix. An allegation in answer was then brought in by the uncle, setting forth a variety of circumstances, from which, it was contended, insanity was to be inferred. It stated that Mr. Mack used to speak of a pony he possessed as being very valuable and fit for the Queen, and of fruit in his garden as being worth a very considerable sum in the market, when it was, in fact, only just formed on the tree ; and that on the 19th May, 1850, he behaved himself with great im propriety in church. A counter allegation had since been given in, denying these circumstances. Dr. Addams and Dr. Twiss were heard on behalf of Mrs. Mack, and submitted that the testimony of the witnesses, to whose evidence no exception could be taken, was sufficient to substantiate the validity of the will, and therefore that it must be pronounced for. Dr. Robinson, on belief of the guardian of the child, contended that there were on record many facts previous to the execution which proved the deceased's mental in capacity, and that he was not in a condition to under stand the full meaning of the instrument before the Court. Dr. Jenner appeared on the same side. Dr. Twiss replied. The learned Judge postponed his decision. YORK ECCLESIASTICAL COURT. ROWLEY V. ROWLEY. This was a suit for restitution of conjugal rights, which was brought by Mr. John Jephson Rowley, of Rowthorne, near Chesterfield, gentleman, against Mrs. Mary Ann Rowley, his wife, who resides at Sheffield, and is possessed of 700/. per annum. Mrs. Rowley ad mitted the marriage, but gave into Court a defensive allegation, charging her husband with cruelty and adul tery. Additional articles were also given in on her behalf, upon which pleadings eleven witnesses had been examined. Mr. Rowley pleaded that he did not commit the acts of cruelty and adultery charged upon him, and also pleaded condonation. Dr. Addams, with whom was Mr. Blanshard, and Mr. Bower, had been specially retained for Mrs. Rowley, whose husband was represented by Mr. Travis and Mr. Harper._ - - . . The Court having ruled that Dr. Addams should begin, he opened the case of Mrs. Rowley at great length. He stated that the proof of cruelty principally rested upon two witnesses—Mrs. Woodhead, who keeps the King's Head Inn, Sheffield, and Mrs. Shillito, who was formerly in the service of the parties in this cause. The former deposed to what took place in October, 1848. This was the important period for the Court to fix its attention upon, because it was in that month that Mrs. Rowley and her husband separated. On the 4th of that month Mrs. Rowley, whilst staying at the King's Head Inn, informed Mrs. Woodhead that on the morning of the 2d, whilst they were in bed, she told her husband she was going to Sheffield. He said she had no occasion to do so, and she should not go. She replied that she had business there, and should go. They then both got out of bed, when the husband turned angrily upon her, grasped her by the front of the neck, and pressed the back of her neck over the footboard of the bed. She showed Mrs. Woodhead the marks on each side of her neck, which Mrs. Rowley said were occasioned by her husband. The marks were red, her throat was swollen, and she seemed to have a difficulty in swallowing. any of the altercations they had were respecting money matters, and so on ; and Mrs. Shil lito spoke to having seen the parties scuffling together twice ; that she had frequently seen Mrs. Rowley weeping for half a day together ; and that her health had suffered. In consequence of her indisposition, she had been attended by Mr. Hussey, surgeon, of London, and Mr. Wilson Overen d, sur g eon, of Shef field. The former gentleman had stated that on hearing she was separated from her husband, he at once felt himself enlightended as to the cause of her illness, which, he had no doubt, had been brought on by domestic discomforts and anxiety. Mr. Overend's evidence was precisely to the same effect. Then as to the adultery, which was alleged to Have taken place after the separation, there was a general charge as against the husband, and a specific charge of an improper intimacy with Ann Green, his housekeeper. Dr. Addams, therefore, submitted that the case was complete, and that Mrs. Rowley was entitled to a sen tence of divorce. Mr. Travis referred to one of the aracles, in which it was alleged that, whilst at the office of Mr. Drabble, solicitor, Chesterfield, an altercation took place between the wife and the husband, who put himself into a vio lent rage, and repeatedly said if he was not to receive the income of his wife's property, and have the manage ment of the estate, she should not make his house her home. He Galled her a fiend, a devil; and, taking up a ruler, he flourished it in her face, and swore she wanted her head knocked off. Mr. Drabble was a highly-re spectable witness, and why had he not been called ? The learned counsel submitted it was for the other side to make out a case of cruelty and adultery, and he said he defied them to do so. Mrs. Rowley was an irritable w oman . and her husband might have held her by the ar Ts, to prevent her inflicting violence upon him. Ro "r; Addams briefly replied, contending that Mrs. They had completely made out her case. - ue Chanc e ll or sa id h e cer t a i n ly should not grant the prayer for restitution of conjugal rights, but he should takeßefore timet consider the other question. fo rising of the Court, the Chancellor gave only.y 11 , qivorce, but on the ground of cruelty !swill! should make no order as to costs. (LICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROU SE . ---4 .---- John Harris, a cab-driver, was brought up, charg e d — detective force, on ansvici ll o Y n We i hb . and Scott, of the City , Sheffield d ar ing burglaty at M essrs. 7 :, , being concerned in the jewellers, cutlers, and in w asaufacturers, of King Deane, Dray, and Co.'s, William -street, London-bridge, amount was abstracted, Th ere is every property of large but it w w a e s en one and two being discovered that the burglary was committed -71 a, reason to believe o'clock on Thursday morning, until seven, when, on the warehouse party who had charge of the premises, it ~,!. ., 1 7 .13 e ned by slight examination they had been entered and plundered of watche c 'nd that a considerable amount. A 2, 'e, to slightesticrn of the place showed that not the _precaution had been taken in securing it from the attack of thieves, Apps.. rently the entrance had been effected by one of the bur glars mounting the shoulders of the other and getting on to the coping over the shop front. Accomplishing that, little difficulty would be experienced in walkin g along to the window in Arthur-street ; the window and a kind of wire blind offered but little obstacle to obtaining admittance. Being prepared with lucifers , a li g ht was quickly obt a i ne d , and a selection of the more valuable portion of the stock commenced. The circumstances which led to the apprehension of the prisoner are these: — City police-officer, 556, said that on Thursday morn ing between half-past one and two o'clock, he saw the prusoner standing on the curb of Arthur-street East, and by the side of a cab which was drawh up to the pavement. He took the precaution of taking his num ber, and then desired him to drive off. Accompanied by a man, the prisoner jumped on the box and drove away. Webb, the detective officer, deposed that by knowing the number of the cab, he was enabled to trace the pri soner to his lodgings in the Old Kent-road, where he found him in bed asleep. The prisoner admitted that he was the man who drove the cab, but he knew nothing of any one else ; he had had a drop too much. The Lord Mayor said the circumstances were suffi cient to justify him in remanding the prisoner until Monday (this day). The value of the property stolen amounts to nearly 1,700/. BOW-STREET.—Mr. W. Goode, a tobacconist, of 199, Strand, and Ludgate-hill, was summoned before Mr. Henry, charged with having exhibited for sale in his shop window, a pipe, upon which therewas an inde cent illustration. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared to conduct the prosecution on the part of the Society for the Suppres sion of Vice, and stated that for some time past the at tention of the officers of the society had been frequently directed to the indecent and disgusting pictures which were displayed upon the pipes, snuff-boxes, &c., in the shop-windows of many of the apparently respectable tobacconists in the metropolis. In one of the defen dant's windows a pipe was exposed to view in a con spicuous place, upon which were painted the figures of Leda and the Swan, with a degree of boldness and ob scenity which was calculated to disgust every decent passer by. Mr. Pritchard, the secretary of the society, caused a letter to be addressed to Mr. Goode, requesting him to withdraw the offensive article from his window, or proceedings would be taken against him. No notice whatever was taken of the communication, and the pipes continued to be exhibited. Mr. Lewis, the attorney who attended for the defence, begged to be permitted to state, before the case was fur ther proceeded with, that his client, immediately on the receipt of the letter alluded to, had written to the secre tary of the society, explaining to him why the pipe was not instantly withdrawn. He had directed his shopman to remove all articles of an indelicate nature, and he was not aware until the arrival of the summons that his orders had not been obeyed, the shopman having placed the offending pipe at the back of the window, instead of taking it away altogether. Mr. Clarkson said a letter had certainly been received by Mr. Pritchard, after the summons had been issued, in which Mr. Goode promised to discontinue the sale of the Leda, but he ought to have answered the first communi cation, and then the pledge would have looked more sincere. Evidence having been given of the purchase of the pipe by one of the society's agents, who gave 2/. 10s. for it, Mr. Lewis offered two grounds of defence. He said his client was quite willing to return his stock of the Leda and the Swan pipes to the consignor in Vienna, and, secondly, that the picture itself was not more indecent than other illustrations of the same incident in heathen mythology, which were openly exhibited at the British Museum and other exhibitions of works of art. He contended that the copies of the Greek Slave and the Venus would be open to the same objection. However, if his worship considered that the picture in question came under the sth of Geo. IV., c. 83, Mr. Goode would bow to the decision, and give an undertaking that he would never expose another of the kind for sale in either of his shops. Mr. Henry had no hesitation in saying that the expo sure of these pipes openly in shop windows was obscene and disgusting in the extreme, and if called upon to do so, he was quite prepared to convict the defendant. Mr. Lewis submitted that his client having at once removed the pipe from his Ludgate-hill establishment, and the promise to discontinue the sale of it, were grounds for the withdrawal of the prosecution. Mr. Clarkson said the society would not press for judgment if security were given for the future. Mr. Henry said he would adjourn the summons for two months, and if during that time anything of an in decent nature was found in the defendant's shop he would commit him to prison for three months. Mr. William °Mara, another tobacconist, of 425, New Oxford-street, was charged with having exhibited an indecent ivory figure made to serve as a tobacco st Jpper. . HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

The Llanelly hounds will meet on Wednesday at Pembrey House ; and on Saturday at Penlau—at eleven. LI this case it was proved that one of the society's agents purchased the article complained of, which was the representation of a female in a state bordering on nudity, having on only a collegian's cap and gown, the latter being thrown back in a manner, which at once suggested gross indecency. Mr. Lewis set up a similar defence as in the last case. Mr. Henry said it was absurd and idle to compare such indecent productions, which were especially intended to be offensive, with such works of art as Power' s Greek Slave, and others which were rather suggestive of mo desty than the reverse. It was a mistake to suppose that nakedness was the test of indecency. But it was neither necessary nor convenient to define the limits of such things in a crowded court ; but every right-minded person needed not to be told the distinction between a ,graceful and beautiful statue and a figure designed by its attire and attitude for an offensive purpose. He should grant the same indulgence in this case as the last but with the same punishment if the offence were re peated—viz., three months imprisonment. After some further discussion, Mr. Goode was ordered to pay 51. 55., and 2/. 10s. the price of the pipes ; and Mr. Oldburn was adjudged to pay Si. ss. Both the de fendants to pay costs.

The notices are out, and the plans will be in by the re quired time for the gigantic Ocean Steam Dock. This is business. Engineers, one of whom is characterised par excellence, by his striking development of the power of perception, have almost inundated us, first and last, with schemes of high and low water, floating and other piers, which have all ended, after no small quantum of valuable time, and. no insig nificant amount of money have been wasted, in the total discomfiture of the citizens, and in proving that such projects would not float on the abiding waters of commercial confidence. The Great Architect of nature has roughed out the locality, for art to finish, in such an unmis takeable form that the most Ordinary mental capacity may perceive it. Nay, more—nature had only to be interpreted, and the future prospects of King-road were echoed in welcome accents from Clifton heights to the monetary plains of the great metropolis— " Let there be a Dock." Mies opened, 1859. 26% 85% 189% 94A MARLBOROUGH.STREET.—Count Henry Ich,err Thoss was charged before Mr. Hardwick with - obtaining money under fraudulent pretences from Mr. Samuel Webb, music seller, 33, Soho-square. The prisoner was at this court a few weeks ago upon a similar charge. It appeared, from Mr. Webb's evidence, that the prisoner was introduced to him about the sth instant 10 a Mr. Bo wdry, who said he wanted to purchase a piano. The prisoner did purchase a piano, which was to be paid for in cash, but he gave a bill for 471. ss. at two months ' instead. A few days after this, he called at Mr. Webb's shop, and said he wanted some cash, as he had been playing at cards with some noblemen, and had been very unfortunate. The prisoner said he had plenty of security to give to anybody who would advance money. Prisoner then opened his pocket book, and showed a number of Austrian papers with stamps on them, which he said were worth 2001. each, and that his bankers would rea dily advance 1601. on each of the bonds as a security, and pressed witness to let him have some cash on these securities. He told him he was not a money lender, and having no more money than he required for his own business, he could not accommodate him. He told him that his (witness's) cousins in the City, Messrs. Venn and Sons, notaries would know the value of the papers, and if prisoner woulli call on Monday, he would endeavour to see them and learn what they would advance on them ; and he asked prisoner to let him have one of the papers to show them. Prisoner declined to do so, but he gave witness a memorandum of them, and said he could inquire what was the value of such property. Witness was prevented going into the City as he had intended, and on the following Monday prisoner called, and witness was chagrined at not having performed his promise, and told him so. He said, " Have you any cash in the house I" Witness told him he had not ; but he pressed witness very much to lend him 301. on the paper produced, which, ho said, was an Austrian bond, and that witness could get 1601. upon it by going to No. 5, Angel-court, City, to his bankers. He left the paper, and witness advanced him five sovereigns, , and gave him a cheque for 251. on the Commercial Bank. Prisoner two days afterwards called and said he wanted 10/. more, which he advanced him. He said the security was so valuable that witness need be under no apprehen sion of sustaining any loss. When witness gave him the last sum, he asked him to give him a memorandum to the effect that witness would give up the alleged bond when he paid the money on the following Saturday. Witness did so, but on making inquiries afterwards he ascertained that the alleged bond was worthless. It was upon the faith of the prisoner's representations that he advanced him the money. It was proved that on inquiry m Angel-court, the answer was that the bond was quite valueless, and the same answer was returned at Messrs. Rothschild's. Mr. Lewis, who attended for the prisoner, said there was not sufficient evidence to sustain the charge. Mr. Hardwick, however, remanded him to Tuesday next without bail. 171% 285% 188 319% 289 131 Mr. Rendel says in the concluding words of his able report, " the scheme is of national, no less than of commercial importance ;" but we say more, it is not this city, or county, or kingdom, or even empire, that the works specially concern. Such is the comprehensive character of the interests it in chides, that if there be one at all paramount, it is that rising empire beyond the distant western horizon. To the United States, Bristol will then be the Alexandria of Europe in her overland route; for it is plain that most of the continental traffic to New York and other important cities of the Union, will pass vid Dover and Reading, and by the steam ers sailing from King-road. Deep bedded in the smouldering strata of a European political volcano there is a principle that, sooner or later, will burst forth in, it may be, frantic suicidal impetuosity. That principle is despotism, and should it assume the shape of a quadruple unholy alliance against us, its banner, its first outburst, would only be a signal to every city, town, and hamlet of that Republic, whose people are of our race, speak the same tongue, and hold the same faith, to send forth her sons as a wave of freedom that, allied with England, will submerge and utterlyidestroy the armies of what has been sacrilegiously called the " divine right of Kings." We tell the Government that under such an eventuality that in this channel, and at these works, the liberating armies could best fraternize ; hence the necessity of its most paternal con sideration. 304% 279 213 63 63 443% 577 240 CLERKENWELL.—CorneIin Loughlin, a smart, genteel young man, was charged with robbing his em ployers, Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, the well-known jewellers, of 26, Harrison-street, Gray's-inn-road. Mr. Wakeling, the solicitor, was retained for the pro secution. The prisoner and his father had worked several years in the manufactory of the prosecutors, who had of late been plundered to such an extent that they deemed it prudent to seek the advice of Sergeant Smith, the detec tive officer of the E division, and that officer took the prisoner into custody, with 53 oz. and 10 pennyweights of silver in his possession, belonging to Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, as he was leaving their premises. The accused at once voluntarily and freely confessed his guilt, admitting that he alone was implicated in the robberies on the firm recently, and that the silver he had stolen he had sold to Mr. Holmes, of 301, High Holborn, the last sale being to the amount of Si. There were, however, some very remarkable features in the affair, which Mr. Holmes was bound to explain, the prisoner asserting that, on one o ccas i on , h e r eceived on l y 12s. 6d. for 8 oz. of silver, worth 58. 3d per ounce, and at another time Is. 6d. for 44 oz. of the same metal. The silver found on the prisoner was produced. There was one ingot—the rest was from one inch to four inches in size. Mr. Holmes was examined—He said he had made purchases of silver from the prisoner to the amount of about 251., and he paid him at the rate of 45., 4s. 3d., and 4s. 6d. an ounce, and never less. Mr. Ty rwhitt severely censured him from buying at all from such a young man. It was an awfully danger ous facility to work the destruction of youth, and he must say that Mr. Holmes did not stand in an enviable situation. Mr. Wakeling observed that there were many circum stances yet to be considered before the prisoner was finally committed, and he prayed that he be remanded. Mr. Tyrwhitt agreed, and ordered the prisoner to stand committed on the charge, and to be brought be fore him again next week. The unfortunate young man seemed to feel very acutely his degraded position. SALT IN IRELAND.—A company is about being formed in Belfast, with a capital of 50,0001., to work the salt mines which have been discovered on the Marquis of Downsbire's estate at Duncrue. In connexion with the preparation of the salt for commerce, chemical works are to . be established, which will enable the company not only to supply manufacturers with bleeching materials, quantities to oth er coun t r ies. but to export them in large The engineer at the head of the new dock scheme is not a man gi ven t o va i n b oas ti ng ; hi s position is already so high th a t ano th er ' s mant l e wou ld do him no honour. The difference between the past en gineer of Bristol docks, and the present engineer of the new scheme, is simply this, that while the former was known to Bristol as the originator of 'piers as opposed to d oc k s , th e l atter does not lay claim to either. We venture to affirm that when this Dock Bill is law, the language of the engineer of the Admiralty will be in the like spirit as that in which Peel concluded his great speech after the passing of the Corn Law Bill, and, like that great man, Mr. Rendel will announce that it is not to the gentleman at the bead of the engineering staff of the Great Western Railway Company, nor to himself, that the honour is clue of carrying through all its vicissitudes the great work, but to the un tiring energy, the unassuming action, and the qui e t eloquence of such men as William Patterson.— Bristol Mirror. CHEESE.—The manufacture of cheese on the English n e o s y s tem has been recently introduced into the county of Dublin, and is gradually extending. On an extensiv farm, purchased by Mr. Dar g an, the rai lway contractor, at Mosstown, in t he count y of Westmeath, and rented by a Cheshire farmer, cheese of prime quality is w produced.

On Thursday last, seventy registered money letters, sent by Irish emigrants at Melbourne, were received at the Limerick post-office, with sums ranging from 501. to 5001. The writers in almost all cases gave the most encouraging accounts of the pros pects in this colony, and held out strong inducements to their friends to join them. The American remittances, although of immense amount in the aggregate, have ge nerally consisted of small sums, averaging from 31. to 201.

A dreadful occurrence took place on Wednesday, near Celbridge, when a notorious and most desperate cha racter, named Philip Smith, met his death under the following awful circumstances :—lt appeared that on the 12th of October last, Smith had planned the robbery, and broken into the house of a gentleman resident near Clonee, in this county. A. party of the Clonee consta bulary, however, succeeded in apprehending him on the occasion. He was handcuffed heavily, after a desperate resistance, and taken by them to their barrack at Clonee for the night ; but at an early hour on the following morning, the 13th, he contrived to effect his escape, manacled as he was. The constabulary were in imme diate and active pursuit. He was traced to Blanchards town, and there it was ascertained that he had turned off in the direction of Swords. For the time, how ever, further trace of him was lost. A horrifying coin cidence as to date and place here presents itself. It may )e in the recollection of our readers that it was upon the tight of the 13th ult., within two miles of Swords, that the illfated Smiths, brother and sistar, were brutally nurdered in their dwelling on Mr. Mangan's farm, and tlat since that period no clue whatever has been disco vered to lead to the detection of the perpetrator of the crime. After his escape from the police barrack, the first time the constabulary, we understand, became cog nizant of his whereabouts, was towards the middle of the present month, when there was reason to suppose Ithat he was lurking in the neighbourhood of Celbridge. Close but ineffectual search was made for him until the 18th inst., when, while Constable Richard Stafford, of that station, was conveying a prisoner named Thomas Reilly, arrested under a warrant, to the station-house, Smith suddenly appeared from behind a ditch, rushed on the constable, and discharged two shots at him, both of which took effect, dangerously wounding him in the neck. Since that the constabulary of the district have been unceasing in their exertions to effect his capture. On the afternoon of Wednesday, as a party, consisting of four men of the force, were on day patrol in the neighbourhood, they applied at a house for admission, but were refused, and were about to enforce their de nand for entrance when Smith rushed out, bearing in me hand a double-barreled pistol, in the other a blun derbuss. The police at once challenged him to surrender iimself their prisoner. He answered No ; that before they could take him he was sure of taking one of their Ives at least. As he said this he raised one of the pieces with which he was armed, and was in the act of (ring, when one of the police discharged his carabine at him with, as it proved, fatal effect. Almost at the some instant Sub-Constable John Waldron received the con tents of Smith's pistol or blunderbuss in the mouth, which, with one of his jaws, was dreadfully shattered, the wound intlicted on him being altogether of a very serious character. The criminal was raised and removed from the spot in a dying state. He had been hit in one of the thighs or knee, and before timely appliance could be procured to stop the effusion, he expired from loss of bbod.—Dublin Freeman. RAILWAY RETURNS.

Dutch Rhenish •• ........ (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday. ) 22,163 2,i85 LEEDS, Friday, Nov. 26.—The imports of wool into London during the week ending to-day were 8,307 bales, of which 3,195 were from Sydney, 1,642 from Port Phillip, 1,285 from the Cape of Good Hope, 1,264 from Russia, 354 from Alexandria, and the rest from Morocco, &c. The demand for foreign wool continues good for nearly all descriptions, and chiefly for the supply of present wants. The rates current at the last London sales are steadily supported. In the English wool mar ket there has been a fair amount of business done in sales of wool this week, and prices are very firm at last week's rates. In the Liverpool wool market there is a good demand, but not much business, in conse quence of limited supplies. Prices firm. Imports dur ing the past week-243 Lima, 110 Lisbon, 476 East India, 104 Cronstadt, 97 Antwerp, 17 Naples, 115 Egyp tian. In woollens, we have no change to report in the state of the woollen cloth market this week ; about an usual amount of business has been done. In the Coloured Cloth-hall, the market was rather flat, both on Saturday and Tuesday, but in the White Market, there was con siderable activity, especially on Tuesday, and a good bu siness was done. But the quantity of cloth that changes hands in the market only represents about a moiety of the trade that is doing in balk cloths, as there are con stantly very large deliveries taking place direct at the merchants' warehouses. As is usual at this period of the year, the business doing at the warehouses is of a very limited character, mostly to order for sorting up with. In the worsted market there has been a fair amount of business doing, and the trade keeps up well for the time of year. The price of raw material is so disproportionately high, that there is an inevitable tendency uptvards in the price of yarns and pieces. HALIFAX MARKET.—There is no noticeable variation in either the piece or yarn market since our last report. In the wool trade sales have been moderately active, and the recently quoted advance fully supported. Prices both of middle wethers and common noils with broke, are a shade dearer than cited this day fortnight. LElCESTER.—Manufacturers are working up the stock of yarns on hand, and are very careful in making pur chases at the advanced rates required by the spinners. Shipping orders are approaching completion, and the home demand becomes more contracted as Christmas gets nearer. There is still a large demand in the fancy hosiery branch, and generally more is doing than usual at this period of the year. Worsted yarns are fiat, and spinners cannot accept orders without an advance ; they, however, hold with confidence, as they cannot at the present prices required for wools replace their stocks to advantage. Cotton yarns are scarce in the market, and even at the recent advance* enough is not in the market to supply the demand. Several hosiers are now altering their workmen from worsted to cotton for the approaching season. Wools are firm, but the spinners being supplied for the present, the market is quiet. 823 2,665 3,764 5,258 MINING INTELLIGENCE. 1,912 4,21 717 1,510 60i 1,667 14,471 2,414 1,343 2,570 1,017 474 635 1,441 509 1,569 10,877 1,261 2,451 2,513 333 260 248 13,404 7,625 270 14,312 8,412 (From the Mining Journal of Saturday. MlNES.—Although the business transacted during the week has not been to any considerable extent, still it is satisfactory, when we take into account the time of year, and we anticipate a larger extent of business as soon as the January dividends become payable. Bedford United have advanced 91 ss. ; Carn Brea to 851., East Wheal Crofty to 651., Levant to 1691., South Francis to 1871., West Providence to 561., and Wheal Basset to 525/. Alfred Consols, Par Consols, Con durrow, Devon Great Consols, East Wheal Rose, Great Polgooth, South Tamar, South Tolgus, Trehane, United Mines, Wheal Golden, and Tremayne maintain their prices. Balnoon, Bosom, Sidney Godolphin, West Ding Dong, West Fanny, and Wheal Catherine, have ad vanced in price. In other shares the market is retro grading, there being more sellers than buyers.—ln Corn wall, East Wheal Rose has been sold for 2901. ; North Pool, 2391. ; South Tolgus, 2001. ; United Mines, 3801. for 1-400th share ; Wheal Reeth, 561. ; Balnoon Con sols, 51. 7s. 6d. ; and Sidney Godolphin, Si. 7s- 6d. In the Metal Market, Lead is in such extensive de mand that higher rates are confidently expected ; the supply is short, owing to the water being in several of the mines. Although no advance has taken place in Tin or Copper, the smelters are not willing to take or ders at present rates, and in copper we hear of sales at is per lb. From South Australia, 1,020 tons have arrived at, Swansea. Tin-Plates have advanced to 26s per box for coke, the demand being more than the makers can supply. There is an attempt making to cause the aban donment of the 61. per ton duty on the importation of Banca and Straits Tin, and this will, no doubt, come before the houses of Parliament during the present ses sion. Bar Iron maintains its upward tendency. Rails have advanced ; a large contract having been concluded at 8/. 55., free on board, in Wales, and the price now asked is 8/ 108 Scotch Pig is 59s per ton.

Such is " Castle Avon," the last work of this favourite writer • and in the character of Lady Aylmer the reader will find a source of interest as deep as any he has ever drawn upon, while in the fashionable Mrs. Gorhambury, the aristocratic Lady Marion, the impul sive Philip Gorhambury, and his unprincipled father, he will recognise the extraordinary talent in pourtraying human nature in its most striking aspects that has so frequently exercised its salutary influence over him. NEW RAILWAY SCHEME. Another new railway scheme has been announced, under the title of the "Tynemouth Dock, and Morpeth and Shields Direct Railway Company," with a capital of 300,000/., of which it is stated, 120,0001. has already been taken up. The object is the formation of deep water docks for the ac commodation of the trade of the river Tyne, which up to this time has been deprived of this advantage; and of a railway to run to Morpeth, a distance of 15 miles, with a short branch to the Duke of Portland's coal field. A large portion of the company's profits is expected to be derived from the coal traffic, offers of which, to a con siderable extent, have already been made. The en gineers are Messrs. Locke and Herrington, and the di rectors state that eminent contractors have offered to lease the railway and docks for 14 years from the com pletion of the works, at a minimum rent of 5 per cent. per annum, with half profits beyond this rate. This offer is to be submitted to the shareholders within four months from the passing of the company's act. COST OF PROCEEDINGS IN LIINAOY.—A return has been printed by order of the House of Lords respecting the cost in lunacy matters. For a commission the fees and charges usually amount to 61. 10s. 2d. It is added, " the cost of the commission, independent of the fees and charges, and stamp duty above referred to, varies with the circumstances of the case." This variation applies to all other fees and charges. The fees of a grant of custody are 171. 4s. 4d. ; for repairs, 11/. Bs. 2d. ; for a lease, 11/. 6s. 10d.; for a new committee, 251. 14s. ; for varying maintenanc e , 171. Os. Bd. ; and for opeiing and depositing a will, 61. 7s. 6d. Since the act of 1842, the isquiry under a commission has lasted more than one day in 20 cases, and more than two days in 50 cases. THE WEST INDIAN COLONIES.—A bill in the House of Commons, brought forward by the Colonial Secretary, has been printed, to amend the act 11th and 12th Vict. c. 120, by which the interest on loans not exceeding 500,000/., for colonial purposes, was guaranteed. It seems that doubts have arisen whether the money raised by such loans can be applied to the conveyance back to India, China, or Africa, of free labourers introduced into the colonies. It is therefore proposed to enact that the Government loans may be charged with the expense of conveying back such free labourers as may be intro duced into the colonies mentioned. CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS.—The law of criminal in formation seems as variable as the temperature of the English climate. Sometimes it rises up to a high degree of heat, and anon it drops down to a freezing point. Yet no practice of a court of justice should be subject to such variations. Justice, sa ys the Institutes, is th e constant and perpetual will to render to each one what belongs to him. But what is constant and perpetual cannot be subject to change ; and the perpetual change of a course of conduct in the forms and practice of ren dering justice must affect the principles of justice itself. How can men feel themselves confident as to the law by which they are governed, when the rule of law, or the application of it, is subject to the most capricious varia tions 1---Bell'e Life. THE WET WEATHER.--It is reported that of the 33 days from the 20th Oct. and the 21st Nov., both inclu sive, fiv e on l y were free from wet; and the q uan tit y o f rain which fell on the 28 wet days, as shown by the rain-guage at the Devon and Exeter Institution, was 8.52 inches. In 32 wet days, from the Ist of October to the present time, the quantity which fell was 10.401 inches. The average annual fall of rain in Devonshire is from 30 to 32 inches; but 34.73 inches have already fallen since the commencement of the present year, so that we have already had more than an average allow ance. - We have at length to report a decided change in the aspect of the gold mining share market. The dealings have been characterised by a great excitement, pur chasers having come forward with the greatest avidity, and the consequence has been an extraordinary advance in prices, extending throughout the entire market. Amongst the shares that have attracted most attention are the Nouveau Monde, Colonial Gold, Port Philip, Agua Fria, Australasian, New Granda, and Yuba River • but, as already stated, all de scr ipti ons are sen sibly better than for some time past. The immediate cause of this rise is, of course, the receipt of such extra ordinary accounts from Australia, and the anticipation of still more exciting details. The shares of the Australian Agticultural Company, which have for some time been steadily rising, to-day reached 1301. ; this is owing to the report that large quantities of gold exist on the estates of the association. It appears now evident that several of these companies will make great returns, and it would be hazardous to speculate on what may be the result of the produce from the gold regions either in Australia or California. The formation of associated companies on the joint-stock principle is appreciated by the colonists, who are forming associations to that end. On Wednesday Noueau Mondes rose to 1/ prem., and were done at 2 prem., and now remain steady at 11 to 14 prem. Colonial gold are firm at the same price, and Port Phillip at the closing were at 1 to 14 premium. Carsons Creek and Australian Cordil leras are decidedly better, but the most marked improve ment has taken place in Australasian shares, which at 2/, paid have been done at Si. prem. An announcement has appeared from Mr. Sargent, stating that he has given up all claims on Col. Frdmont's estate, and we may, therefore, presume (providing the commissioners certify that gentleman's title) that the mineral grants entered into by Mr. Hoffman, must be considered valid. The allotment of unissued shares to the proprietors of the Anglo-Californian Mining Company will be made in the oourse of the ensuing week, The directors, we are in formed, have received applications from the share holders to more than double the amount possible to be issued. The directors can only, therefore,issue them pro 'atd, and it is to be hoped that this will be done fairly and without umbrage to the several applicants. The delivery of Anglo-Australian shares, independent of the settlement, will take place on Monday, and from the numerous applications a considerable rise is anticipated in price ; this is not so much expected from the present prospects of the company, but from the circumstance of the great arrivals of gold, and the benefit of an asso ciated principle. The transactions on the Stock Ex change will be found in the usual place. The non official quotations are—Anglo-Australian, 4 to prem. ; Veraguas, 1 toe prem. English and Australian Copper Smelting shares have likewise experienced a rise this week. It is the intention of the company, in addition to their legitimate business, to commence buying gold, from which they anticipate profitable results. Shares in L Aigle d'Or Mining Company (Vr ginia) have already obtained a premium of from 4 to 4. Business in miscellaneous shares is more active than for many months past. Shares of the Austrian Agri cultural Company were done yesterday at 100, being a rise of some 30 per cent. ; prices marked in the official list, however, were only 76 and 75. This advance is owing to its being understood that gold in considerable quantities exists on the estates of this company.
