Nl r righton, wh o w ill ever b e remem b ere d and thanked for his charming ballad, Her bright smile haunts me still,' has just issued a sweet little song, commencing ' Grieve not for me love.' It is in the key of D, in six-quaver time, and ranges from Dto F sharp—or within the compass of a tenth. The ai r i s ver y p re tty an d t e nder, is easy, and sings smoothly and pleasantly. Another of Mr. Wrighto - f.'s latest compositions is his ballad, They tell me lam quite forgot' This is in B flat, common time. It is a very ex pressive song, and would well suit a good tenor voice, capable of delivering it with some degree of impassioned feeling.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 9.—The market for yarns has been somewhat firmer to-day tita❑ at the close of last week, but it has been exceedingly quiet and inactive. Confidence has been so much disturbed by recent oscillations in price, due to cotton specu lation in the face of no very great demand for cotton goods, that buyers hesitate a good deal at investing until greater steadiness prevails. Cloth is very difficult of sale, and sellers report very little business. CARDIFF, Bth.--Since the dry weather set in operations at the docks have become more active, and the output of steam coal has correspondingly increased. The foreign. demand, especially from the Continental markets, is very satisfactory, and although proprietors' books are well filled with orders fresh ones are coming in regularly. Of late a great improvement has also taken place in the home de mand. Prices for both steam and house coals have an upward tendency. The improvement which has characterised the iron trade of this district dur ing the past two or three weeks is moderately well maintained, and the orders in hand are sufficient to keep the works fairly going, while the tenour of the inquiries from home and abroad affords encourage ment as regards winter operations. During the past few days there have been two or three heavy ship ments of rails to New York, and orders from the States are coming in a little more freely. Transac tions on continental account show an average de mand, and with the other foreign markets business is in about the same state as last reported. Orders on home account are placed with a little more free dom. There is only a moderate sale for pig iron, and the trade has in no way mended. Tin plates are in good request, and quotations rule firm. The foundries are in more regular employ, and for patent fuel there is a good export sale. LEEDS, 9th.—There was not a large attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this morning, nor a full one of sellers. The market was of a quiet order, and no kind of goods were in positively brisk request. The most active demand was for tweeds, which con tinue to sell as fast as they are produced. General selections, making small parcels, were made in both ordinary cloths and heavy goods. There is no alte ration noticeable in the prices of either wools or goods. The consumption of wool is quite equal to the supply, and that which was purchased for this district at the recent sales in London is now being fast turned into cloth. The quality and condition are reported to be quite equal to any late colonial wools which have been offered for sale. English wools command late prices, and there is a steady demand for them. NOTTINGHAM, 9th.—At our Exchange-hall to day the amount of business transacted was very limited. Prices for both lace and hosiery yarns were about the same as last week. Silks were quoted at advanced rates. There continues to be a moderate demand for mosquito nets, at higher rates. Other kinds of plain nets (fine more especially) neglected. ROCHDALE, Bth.—The flannel trade keeps quiet, but manufacturers are steadily employed and prices firm. To-day's market was moderately attended by buyers, who made purchases of goods with care, taking no large quantity of any particular class. The fine qualities, including fancy goods, are per haps in a little better demand than last week. The Yorkshire goods trade keeps rather quiet, and only a small amount of business was done in the fabrics offered by West Riding manufacturers to-day. Wools are without change either in price or demand since last week. Social Science Conference• MANCHESTER, Wednesday. The labours of the Congress have been brought to a close this evening. The last paper was one read Q.C., "On the Arrangement and Construction of Courts of Justice, as Illustrated by the AlancheApr New Assize Courts." Mr. Webster referred to the proposal entertained in London of building a Pa lace of Justice, by which the 20 or more courts now so widely separated should be concentrated in one building. Hitherto in this country the only build ing in which such accommodation had been pro vided with any success was the Manchester Assize Courts. He only expressed the g opinion of his brethren at the bar that this o his ny a l tte t m yp p e t had been highly successful , an d was the by which the Commissioners in Londonatwtohue ldbe g uided. He expressed his admiration con trivances by which from the general entrance-hall admission was obtained to all the different courts in the building, and especially at the ready means of access given to judges, juries, counsel, and all per sons brought there on business to those portions of the courts where the business of the courts had to be transacted, as well as to the means of access for the public to the parts properly assigned to their use. There was a further improvement, he suggested, that it would be desirable to carry out in London, admirable as were the arrangements here, and that was to render the access of persons on business sepa rate from that of the public. He pointed out how desirable it was that the judges, counsel, juries, witnesses, shorthand writers, and reporters should have not only easy access to the courts, as at Man chester, but they should have separate access undis turbed by the crowds brought there by curiosity. He threw out this suggestion as a desirable one for exhibitors who were proposing to submit designs. Mr. Webster criticised some of the internal fittings of the court as to the better arrangement of witness boxes, jury boxes, and seats for counsel, and thought the courts being lighted from one side only might be improved by lights from the top. He thought it was desirable, also, that the business part of the court should be isolated from the public por tion. He approved highly the arrangement of the corridors behind the courts, connecting them with the barristers' library and other rooms, and highly complimented Mr. Waterhouse as the architect. In a short discussion which followed Mr. D. Dudley Field was appealed to as to whether the courts of America would afford any suggestion for improve ment. Mr. FIELD said that they had not a court in Ame- rica comparable with this as a building, though be thought some of them were more convenient in their_ internal fittings and arrangements , affording Dl"' ample convenience to counsel. At the conclusion of the cliscussion voted to Mr. Webster for his paper, ana trates for the use of the courts. of the Congress The concluding general meeting Civil Court, Lord in the was held this afternoon thanks f e k in s a w g e is re .

Mr. HERBERT PHILLIPS moved, and Mr. DUDLEY FIELD seconded, a vote of thanks to the President. Mr. Field spoke highly of what he had seen at this Congress, and regretted they had nothing of the kind in America. He termed it a sort of " advising" Parliament, to which no one was elected, but to which any one could come and express his opinions. H YAM & CO.'S Ladies' Riding Habits.

Gunnery Experiments in America. --- The experiments at Fortress Monroe, made by order o. the United States Government, to test the power of resist ante to heavy ordnance of iron plated fortifications, were begun on Sept. 21. A target was erected on the beach of Che sapeake Bay, near the fortress, and was constructed of large granite blocks, carefully cemented and bolted together. It was 3<ift. high, 36ft. wide, Bft. thick, and the front of it was plated with iron 4in. thick, made of four layers of iron lin. thick, one layer upon the other, and all of them firmly welded together. The guns were placed 350 yards from the target, and were a 15in. smooth bore Rodman, and a 12in. rifled Rodman. The report of the firing of Sept. 21 is as follows :—" The first shot was fir ed b y the 15in.Rodman gun, at an elevation of 40 minutes; charge 461 b. of powder, weight of ball, round shot, 4321 b. Its effect was an inden tation in the upper plate about 15in. in diameter and 3in. deep. At the rear of the target two granite blocks were broken and forced outward, and the seams opened in their immediate N icinity. The pressure on the gun was 17,0001 b., and the initial velocity of the shot 1,155 ft. per second. The second shot was fired from the same gun, with a still less elevation, the charge of powder and the weight of ball being the same. The initial velocity of the ball was 1,113 ft. per second, and struck the lower plate one foot from the ground. The indentation reached 51in. deep and 18in. in diameter, the plate in this case having a backing of 6in. of sand, while theupper one rested directly against the face of the target. The damage, however, to the masonry was ascertained to be considerably less, three of the blocks at the back of the target being merely started from their position, and none broken. The third shot was fired by the 12in;rifle Rodman gun, Dyer's spherical projectile, weighing 6201 b., being used with a charge of 551 b. of powder, and a half degree elevation given to the piece. The initial velocity of this rifle shot was less than the 15in. shot, being only 1,020 ft. a second. The upper plate was struck, makin g an indenta tion 14in. long and 41in. deep, with two blocks of granite broken in the back of the target, and the seams between other blocks opened. The fourth shot was fired by the same gun, charge of powder, projectile, and elevation, the initial velocity of the shot being 1,079 ft. a second, producing an indentation 13in. diameter and siin. deep. The masonry in the back of the target was considerably damaged, and the blocks broken by the previous shots crumbled into nume rous pieces. The fifth shot was fired by the same gun and charge of powder, kc., the elevation of the muzzle being considerably lass. The projectile, with an initial velocity of 1,103 ft., struck the lower plate about 3ft. from the ground. This shot was considered to be the most damaging one of the five, and played sad havoc amid the granite in the rear. An indentation was produced 14in. in diameter and 7in. deep, splitting the iron plates into innumerable crevices, and nearly penetrating to the sand. The effect of the shot fired at the target was tremen dous, and elicited the astonishment and admiration of all the officers conducting the firing. The opinion was strengthened, although generally at variance with the views entertained before hand, that the six inches of sand adopted as a backing for one of the iron plates would not answer the object of the suggestion, and that the greatest resistance was offered where the 10in. plate was placed next the face of the granite. A similar number of shots will completely wreck the stonework of the target, but not materially damage the iron plates beyond the indentations, which have not as yet been penetrated, save in the in stances of the lower plate and its sand backing. The effect of the shot is transmitted from the iron directly to the masonry, and made visible in the crumbling of the blocks in the rear of the target." On Sept. 22 the experiment was renewed, and six shots were fired against the damaged target of the previous day. The effect of these is said to have astonished all who witnessed them. On one occasion a 15in. solid shot struck the upper plate in nearly the same indentation made by a rifled projectile, crushing in the iron, and penetrating several inches into the stone work. Another shot, a rifled Dyer projectile, weighing 6201 b, struck the upper edge of the plate, and, glancing off into the granite wall, imbedded itself almost out of sight amid the crumbling fragments of the crushed blocks of stone. Heavy pieces of granite, weighing hundreds of pounds, were burled a distance of 50 yards by the vio lence of the shock to the target, and smaller fragments were scattered over 200 yards distance. The sixth and final shot was aimed at one end of the target, unprotected by iron plates, but where the granite was braced by a heavy stone abutment, and it completely broke the little that.wats left atantling of the target.

NEWSPAPER • t\r-! Thanks to Mr. Hastings and t Clay, the Secretaries, and other offs = and thanks were also given to the s 4.34 Ze the use of the Assize Courts. Some amusement was cause d i n th e c co oncltl ng meetings this morning by the appearance of a para graph in the French journal I:lnternational (pub lished in Paris and London) informing its readers that the Congress Connnittee, " faithful to English custom," had in their desire to attain the utmost pub licity for the proceedings made a grant of £l,OOO a piece to the local newspapers to enable them to publish s►tpplements. The writer would have been nearer the mark had he said that the papers had in curred this ixpense on their own account. During the Congress the Manchester papers have been doubled in size, awl their readers may be said to have been deluged with the reports. • Iroumasters' Quarterly Meeting. 4> WOLVEIZ1IAML"1:01 , 1, WEDNESDAY EVENING The usual quarterly meeting of the ironalasterA the South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire listrict commenced in this town to-day. The ,at ,endance was larger than was expected, for in addi- tion to the members of the trade there was a fair sprinkling of those who are interested in it, either as consumers or as interested in the export trade. But as to busine:ss done our report might almost say nil, for it is tolerably certain that at most there were not a dozen transactions. It has been said of late years that the Wolverhampton assembly had become simply preparatory to that to follow immediately at Birmingham, and that is so ; but this quarter-day there is little prospect of much being done in that town, nobody buying a ton more than is necessary. This has been the case for so unusually lengthened a period that at the great majority of the works the orders in are not sufficient to keep them going at half-time. The same as to pig iron ; notwithstand ing the very considerable reductions in the make since last quarter-day prices are not firm, and stocks have increased. The tone to-day was gloomy throughout, every body is agreed that the trade is bad, but the worstis that there are no encouraging indications in regard to the future. The iron trade of the district has had a severe shaking the last three or four months, but in one way or other that has been going on for ten years or more, and there are good grounds given for the apprehension that there will never be any substantial recovery. The new iron-producing dis tricts have too formidable advantages over South Staffordshire for this latter to maintain its old posi tion. Even the trade assemblies have sadly fallen off in character and everything else ; brokers and broken-down iroumasters outnumber the heads of the trade. As matters now stand some important change must before very long take place. State of Feeling in Hanover. The following extracts are from a private letter written by a resident in Hanover : "Our city is mourning, all and every one, the loss of our beloved Queen, who has left us for her beautiful castle not far from Hanover, called the Marienburg. Her departure has thrown a deep gloom upon us all. It was such a solace and comfort to the citizens seeing her now and then driving into the town, and blessing her with our hearts and words. Now this our last comfort is passed from us, and all seems dark and gloomy. Everybody who lives in Hanover must see and know how our enemy is hated, and how our own royal family was and ever will be warmly beloved and re spected. The Prussians know this very well, and their situation among us is not to be envied. " In Hanover all is forbidden to bo published which is not favourabie to Prussian ideas. The private property of our beloved King they have taken possession of. " At the birthday of our Crown Prince every demonstra tion was forbidden. Noyellow and white flags—our colours —were allowed to be hung out, and service in the churches forbidden ; but there was hardiy a house that had not got its windows decorated with yellow and white. Every shop also was decorated, except one —that of a capmaker—who had put in his window the Prussian military cap, and for that bad his shop broken to pieces. Yellow and white gravel or sand was strewn before every house. The alle,e leading to the Queen's palace—she was then in Hanover— was full of young girls in white dresses and yellow ribbons, with bouquets and wreaths, going before the palace to sing. There were young boys in yellow scarfs, young men in yellow neck-ties ;in fact, everybody had on some . _ . accordance with the feelings of the North of Germany. "There was never a people more hated than the Prus sians. There is a party of Radicals, the same kind as Mr. Bright's party in England, who have nothing to lose, and hope by every change to win something. This party has for years been trying to undermine the influence of the King, and had been playing into the hands of the Prus sians, and acting the spy over the King. This party hopes to got something from Prussia, who has promised them all kinds of liberty and glory, which, of course, they will never get. The Democrats are already beginning to see that they are being used by Bismarck for the profit of Prussia, who will throw them off when they aro of no more service. "Our Queen tried to keep her departure a secret, not to excite her poor unhappy people, but hundreds were there. She left quite early in the morning, and her carriage was literally covered with flowers—all her subjects weeping their bitter tears. She stood up to take a last farewell of hot home, and then sank back bathed in tears. Her castle, Marionburg, is beautiful. There at least she will not have the Prussians always before her eyes, as the castle is situated on a hill by itself, not far from the town of Hanover. She has not left the kingdom, nor does she mean to do so. The crowd were all kept back on the morning of her departure by double Prussian pickets with drawn swords. The peo ple only wept, but were otherwise quiet. All the first families have loft Hanover, and live retired on their estates, and all have put on mourning for the loss of their King. " The Crown Prince was congratulated by hundreds and thousands of people on his birthday. He writes to thank them, and, not being allowed to publish anything openly, the letters are pushed in under the doors of his subjects. "A curious accident happened on the first attempt to hang the Prussian flag on one of the King's palaces. Just. as they had hoisted it it broke off, fell into the river flow ing close to the palace, and was carried away by the stream. It took some time to recover it." THE " ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH" BARONETS.—^Sir Daniel Gooch, Bart., M.P., has the honour of being the first engineer upon whom the honour o f a baronet has been bestowed. Sir Daniel Gooch was for many li no, locomotive superintendent on the Groat Western line, and is now the chairman of the company. ife was ono of the mortgagees to whom the great ship was mortgaged for £lOO,OOO, and when that vessel was sold for £25,000 he was one of her opvurerchaasnedrs,abwovitehaall vliieeinvs teupeoinn phloeyr'ing her in the service from which she had lately come home as popular as she was onto decried. Sir Daniel is also a director of the Telegraph Construction Lindenainterfl Company, and is, wherever practical expece an ma agging energy are required, a most valuable labourer. —Sir Curtis Miranda Lampson, Bart., was born in Vermont, in the United States. %he early life of Sir Curtis was passed in the hunting and fish i ng g rounds, which, not only in his native state, but in Canada and the Hudson's Bay Territory, offered such ex tensive fields for the gratification of his ardent love of s port. Marri ed in Vermont, he came e an o d ath of permanently alleg i a n ce, settled and in bo th c i a s m eo e un a tr i i i y a . te l r n al l i B e 4 ed B to England in the ect, and was enrolled among the friends of la and yribeer iattrio o solh r kß d 3s e ilu r h,bj who, broken the public peace.

On the re construction of the Hudson's Bay Company, Sir C. Lamp son was elected to the post of deputy governor, and in that capacity his great knowledge of the trade and his business like capacity have proved of great value to the manago e- ment of the affairs of that corporation. Mr. Peabody n minated Sir C. Lampson as one of the trustees of the ma with g nificent fund which ho foun ded, and, iu conjunction Lord Stanley and Sir E. Tennent, the manag ement of that fund has been such as to realise with the most marked success the wishes and designs of its benevolent founder. The new baronet is the owner of a fine estate at Howfant, near East Grinstead, and the old Tudor mansion, a moated grange, is preserved as an almost sacred trust. Sir Curtis has two sons, both of whom were educated at Cambridge, and who will shortly, on his retirement, succeed to the whole of his business in which they are at present partners. —Railway News. en ad )e- or full in g rce • tnd 6rAS red, rior, Lnd !Os i ow. cclo old, u a 0 roil. 483 0 7s 12d. ;lish wid la of ring ited ant- We ; 50e. eee, be, 450 Lite, )ne. per Ast' the ses, r or
