MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Securities at the Stock Exchange are improving in marketable value for many reasons, but for the moment, particularly in consequence of a large in flux of gold at the Bank, and, therefore, less con fidence in the idea that money must become dearer. For some time past capitalists have been almost dis inclined to enter largely into bill transactions, waiting for higher rates, which they considered likely to prevail. Finding their mistake, they are now willing to make a relaxation, and 6i 7 per cent. may be quoted as the terms for the last three months' bills. This concession, limited as it appears, has had a favourable effect upon the Funds, and Consols are 89-a for money, and 88k - 4 1 - for the account. The improve ment of k per cent., which was established at the close of business yesterday afternoon, is therefore Well sustained, and affairs, though quiescent, are not unfavourable in tone or tendency. The subscriptions for the new Austrian Loan will, it is understood, be invited in London by the Agra and Alasterman's Bank, as agents for the Paris Comptoir d'Escompte. The report of the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company has been issued this morning. The total receipts on account of capital amounted, on the Ist inst., to £938.033, of which £30,454 has been ex pended in England and £852,952 in India, leaving a balance of £51,627 in hand, £64,967 yet receiv able on account of the present guaranteed capital of £1,000,000. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse, this day, according to Mr. neuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68 62—firm. The English Stock Market continues buoyant, and Consols are quoted 8911 for money, and 8814, less the dividend, for the account.

WILLIAMS AND PADFIELD. In this case the husband, who was an organist and teacher of music, prayed for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, a farmer, and there was no defence. Dr. Spinks was for the petitioner. It appeared that the parties were married in 1856, and that they lived happily together until 1863, when the re spondent became acquainted with the co-respondent, who was a neighbour, all the parties living at a place called Chantry in Somerset. The chief evidence rested on letters written by the respondent to her husband, confessing the adultery, although some evidence was adduced, including the depositions of the mother of the co-respondent tending to establish the improper intimacy between the defendants. The learned Judge said that where cases rested chiefly upon admissions made by one of the parties groat caution should be exorcised by the Court. In this case ho did not see any ground for doubting the guilt of the respond ent and co-respondent, but before making a decree ho would wish to ask the petitioner a few questions. The petitioner not being in attendance, the case was postponed until Tuesday next. CENTRAL CRIMINAL coußr—This Day, OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE RUSSIAN NOTE FORGERIES. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, on the part of the Russian authorities, made an application for the postponement of the trial of the prisoners charged with this offence on the ground of the absence of a material witness, who was now in Paris, and too unwell to leave that com-a..r. ness, no doubt, would bo in attendance next session. Mr. Sergeant Robinson for the prisoners objected to a further postponement of the trial. The persons charged had been a considerable period in prison, and it was ex ceedingly hard to send them back to prison for another month without trial. There was no certainty, as the material witness was absent through ill health, that ho would be in attendance next session. The Court granted the application. THE CASE OP HALL AND LAUPOURCADE. Mr. Poland, on behalf of Mr. Hall, made an application to the Court in this matter. A true bill had been found against Mr. Hall and Laufourcade for misdemeanour, and a true bill had also been found against Hall for forging the copy of a process of a court of law and acting thereunder. Mr. Justice Byles—That is not a misdemeanour. 31r. Poland—No, my lord, it is a felony. An applica tion had been made the Court of Queen's Bench to remove the trial of Hall from the Old Bailey to that court, and that application had been granted, but the Crown officer had, in the documents proceeding therefrom, confined the certiorari to matters connected with the misdemeanour. The application I have therefore to make to the court is to postpone the trial until another application is made to the Queen's Bench to remove the whole of the charge against the prisoner from this to that court. Mr. Justice Byles—l will do as you wish, and postpone the trial accordingly. Mr. Poland—Until next session, my lord. Mr. Justice Byles—Oh, no. The application can be made to-morrow morning, and I merely postpone the trial until after that shall have been done. TIIE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN COVENT GARDEN. The trial of Murphy has been fixed for the first thing to-morrow morning. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) THE CHARGE AGAINST THE EARL OF SHAFTESBTIRY'S STEWARD. An application was made to the learned Judge to post pone the trial of Waters until the result of certain pro ceedings in Chancery was known. A long discussion followed, the result of which was the trial was postponed until the April sessions. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) William Peck pleaded guilty to an indictment c arging him with stealing 401 b of cigars, the property of William Foster, his master. The Court sentenced him to one year's imprisonment. James Booth, clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with embezzling a Bank of England note for £5OO, the property of the Bla3navon Iron and Coal Company. Sentence was deferred. Francis Imberg, tailor, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing two pairs of trousers, and other articles, the property of Bernhard Lange. The court sentenced him to six months' imprisonment. FOURTH COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Robert Chaplin and Joseph Hewitson were indicted for feloniously breaking and entering a certain meeting-house used for divine worship, and stealing a clock and other articles. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. BANQUET TO LORD STANLEY IN LIVERPOOL.-- Mr. P. H. Rathbone, president of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, has issued cards of invitation to the ea president and council of the chamber and to tho members and ex-members of tho borough and county, to meet Lord Stanley at dinner, on the 20th of December. The invita tions number nearly 100. I HORRIBLE DEATH BY BURNING.--YeSterday Dr. Lankester held an inquest at University College Hospital, on the body of Sarah Freeman, an elderly per son, aged 69, who resided at 3, Assembly-row, Kentish town, who was burnt to death. John TV illiams said he resided in the same house as deceased. On Saturday morning last he was lying in bed, unwell, when deceased came to his bed-room door and asked if she should bring him some tea in bed. He declined, and she went down stairs. A few minutes after he heard the most fearful screams. He jumped out of bed and rau down stairs,when he met deceased in flames by the parlour door, and throw ing her down, rushed into the passage and called for help. Several neighbours ran in, and he rushed upstairs and threw blankets down to them. Mr. Arnett, house surgeon to the hospital, said that deceased had been most horribly burnt all over the surface of her body, from her head to her knees. She died in a very short time. Sergeant Croome, 34 Y, said ho asked deceased how she came to be on fire, when she replied that she was sitting by the fire, and thought a cinder must have fallen on her dress. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. The coroner remarked that it would be very easy to render linen and cotton uniuflammable, and he hoped the idea would be carried out. 104} 1 17i I,t I I 1021 94 I'l} ,ITIES.

A SAD CASE.—A young woman, evidently in a weakly state, waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt to ask his assistance. The applicant stated that she had been in service in the country, but was obliged to leave in consequence of not being well enough to do her work. She came to London, and, after spending all her money, she had been obliged to sleep at different workhouses, being turned out in the morning. As she had no friends in England, and the doctor told her that she was sickening for a fever, she wished the magistrate to assist her in getting into an infirmary. ' Mr. Tyrwhitt kindly ordered the applicant somo assist ance from the poor-box, and said that one of the officers of the court should go with her to St. James's Workhouse with a request that she might be admitted. Shewill, one of the officers of the court, accompanied the applicant to St. James's Workhouse, and shortly after returned, stating that she was immediately admitted. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—Wm. Bartholomew, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain, two brooches, a pin, and other articles, of the value of £l6, the property of Mr. Vincent Litchfield Fellows, landlord of the Berkeley Arms, John street, Berkeley-square. Mr. Fellows said that on Thursday, the 26th of last month, ;the prisoner, who was his potman and waiter, went upstairs to prepare the club room, and some time after came downstairs and left the house and never re turned. About 11 o'clock, on going up to his bedroom on the floor above the club-room, he missed a gold watch and chain, two brooches, a pin, and other articles, of the value of £l6. This bankrupt was described as a paymaster in the Royal Navy, and to-day was appointed for the first meet ing. The debts are about £6OO, and the cause of failure is stated to be " want of employment on active service, and having to make good certain deficiencies of missing clothing on board the Dauntless, man-of-war, which discovery was made three months after the bankrupt was suspended." Messrs. Lawrence, Plows, and Boyer aro solicitors to petition. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) JOHNSON V. JOHNSON. This was the petition of the wife praying for a divorce by reason of the adultery and cruelty of her husband, wko is a wire -drawer,• living at Manchester. There was no de fence by the respondent, who merely appeared, and did not snake any answer to the allegations in the petition. Mr. Pritchard appeared for the petitioner. _ _ The parties were married at St. John's Church, Man chester, in May, 1846, and lived together till 20th May, 1863. There were several children issue of the marriage, of whom only two were living, a daughter aged 12, and a son 18 years old. The last act of violence alleged was in May, 1863, since which time the petitioner had ceased to cohabit with the respondent. Sarah Davis said that she was a cousin of the petitioner and proved the marriage. She remembered the peti tioner coming to her place after the Whitsuntide of 1863, and was in a very distressed state of mind. Her face, legs, and body were covered with bruises, which were quite dis coloured. The petitioner stayed with her afterwards, and she recollected the respondent saying to his wife in her presence that ho could not blame her for anything that had taken place, and he admitted having had improper inti macy with several females, some of whom were as young as ten or eleven years old. Some of theso intimacies had been going on for years. Mrs. Johnson, the petitioner, said that she had lived with her husband at different parts of Manchester, and that she had reason to complain of his ill-treatment two or three years after marriage. She then proceeded to de tail different acts of violence, commencing in 1850, when the respondent, without any provocation on her part, seized her by the throat and nearly strangled her. She became insensible from the effects of his violence on that occasion, and some days elapsed before she recovered. In 1862 he again struck her and dragged her out of bed by her hair, and would have continued his violence if her son had not called in a policeman. The last act of violence to her was in the Whitsuntide of May, 1863. He had been at the races, and she was obliged to get out of bed to let him in. When she opened the door he struck her several times, and at each blow said "I shall murder thee ; the police shan't interfere or come after me." Two policemen were examined, and ono of them deposed to having seen the respondent holding his wife by the throat, and also to the latter being in the habit of visiting a female named Philips, with whom the last act of adultery was charged. Ruth Johnson, the daughter of the parties, was exa mined, and proved to having been with her father in com pany with the woman Philips. The prisoner said he had no questions to ask—he would plead guilty. Police-constable Pickles, 257 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody and telling him the charge, he said "All right ; I'll go with you." He wished the prisoner re manded, as he believed there would be another charge against him. Mr. Tyrwhitt granted a remand. MARKETS—This Day. - ~- MARK-LANE.

No little excitement was caused yesterday morn ing by the announcement that on Saturday night, at a late hour, a detachment of the 24th Regiment had been thrown into the Pigeon House Fort, which commands the Bay of Dublin, and that all the guards had been doubled and the guns double shotted. This fortification, which, before the new rifled ordnance was invented, would have probably stood a good deal of cannonading, is capable of holding a regiment of soldiers. Only a company or so, however, has lately occupied it, and its works have not in any way been modernised. It stands, too, in a very exposed position, and at low water the sands at the back of it are quite bare. It was from the hay side of it that the packets started for England before steam was employed, and the incon venience of the place, and the bleak drive to or from it, are mentioned in all the works of the day on Ire land. The Irish Times first intimated the startling fact of the increased garrisoning of this fort_in the following terms : " A party of the Ist Battalion 24th Regiment, consisting of 100 men, under the command of Major Berry, proceeded from Beggar's Bush Barracks at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening to Pigeon House Fort. This party was relieved by an equal number yester day morning. All the guards were double mounted ; the guns were double shotted ; and the men held under arms all night and the entire of yesterday. Four general officers were in the fort, and the men paraded in open square during yesterday's heavy rain. The gates or bridges are now closed. A de tachment consisting of three companies (viz., 7,8, and 9) of the Ist Battalion 24th Regiment, under the command of Major R. T. Glyn, will march from Beggar's Bush Barracks at 8 o'clock this morning, to the Pigeon House Fort, there to be stationed until further orders." A detachment of the Coast Brigade Royal Artil lery will also be quartered at the Pigeon House Fort. The Mail, on the same subject, said last evening, " The particular cause of this movement is unknown. Immediately on receipt of orders from head-quarters 100 men of the Ist Battalion 24th Regiment, com manded by Major Berry, marched from Beggar's Bush Barracks to the Fort, at 8 o'clock p.m. on Saturday. The men were provided with ammuni tion, the same as if proceeding on active service. On arrival, the guards, doubly mounted, were at once placed, and the remainder of the party ordered to remain under arms during the night. They were relieved yesterday morning. This morning a de tachment consisting of three companies of the same regiment, under the command of Major R. T. Glyn, proceeded to the Pigeon House Fort, where they are now quartered. Everything is being done to put the fort into a state of defence in the shortest possible space of time. The guns are being cleaned and rendered fit for service, and the walls and em brasures looked to, and for present precaution the gates are closed, and no person is allowed to enter morning unless provided with a propsuerppohrdeesro.f ammunition."( Monday) the officers o e f re tl:e fto m at ag y a e r s i t n e e rd d ay ep , department e n n o t were All r sortse ngagedm a t o o f n a u sm i receivingn toourtsh we unexpected steps could be obtained. A large quan tity of powder is stored in a hulk beside the fort, and it is suggested that the precautions just taken have been to prevent any madman or hairbrained enthusiast from attempting to explode it, and blow up the Pigeon House. They could hardly be to prevent a Fenian cruiser from coming up the bay and entering the river, as an ironclad or two would be the proper prevention of any such most unlikely descent on Dublin. The affair, nevertheless, in the present state of the public mind, is exciting much alarm. garrison, too, have received orders that do oroonpos in t The allay the general anxiety to know what these measures portend. A Dublin paper states :—" Weather permitting, the troops in the Dublin division will march into the country once a week until further orders, the march not to be less than two hours' duration, and not later than one o'clock." rHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING; NOVEMBER 22, IEE‘% The metropolis and suburban districts were this day (Wednesday) morning visited by a severe storm of wind, rain, and snow ; at one time re sembling a perfect hurricane. During the early hours of the day it commenced raining in such a manner as has been rarely witnessed for years in this country. The sleet and snow falling at the same time led many to imagine that a fire had broken out, for the scud from the rain was driven along with such violence as to fill the streets, and dash ing against the house of Mr. T. Gibson, the pyrotechnist artist, in Edmund-street, Camberwell, it was apprehended that an explosion of no small character had taken place. This was con firmed to some extent by a loud and fearful crash being heard, but upon making inquiries it was ascertained that the noise was occasioned by the falling of a stack of chimneys at the corner of Thornhill-square, Wellington- street, Camberwell, and the upsetting of a van load of firewood, and the carrying into the air the tilt of a waggon. Several persons passing when the chimneys fell had very narrow escapes, for the chimney-pots very nearly struck them upon their heads. At the same moment a tremendous pile of chimneys and pots fell from the house top of a dyer in West street, Walworth-road, and several persons passing at the time narrowly escaped. So great was the noise occasioned by the fall that the horses drawing the omnibuses were frightened, and they bolted along the Walworth-road in the direction of th e Red Lion one way and the Elephant and Castle the other way, almost uncontrolled. At the same moment a butcher's cart, laden with meat, as it was passing along the Camberwell-road, was blown over, and the driver had one of his fingers smashed. In the space of a minute or two afterwards the exten sive stacks and piles of timber in Mr. Wall's yard, leading down Southampton -street as far as Edmund street, Camberwell, were blown down, and, falling upon a large number of hot houses and publichouse mahogany frames, demolished them, and did other damage to a large extent. So great was the force of wind that the railway trains were consider ably delayed in their journeys to and from the metropolis. The scene upon the river was singularly fearful. The small craft being driven about in terrible confusion, and, bumping against each other, were severely injured, and in some cases the vessels were sunk. The shipping in the Pool and several colliers were also severely injured by the force of the hurricane. The market gardens along the Greenwich line of railway have become some inches under water, and it is questionable whether the crops of vegetation can be saved. The Royal Parks—including the Hyde, St. James's, the Green, Victoria, and the Kennington, Camberwell —have large limbs torn from the stately trees ; whole beds of chrysanthemums have been fairly uprooted, and the damage done in the neigh bourhood of Woolwich to gentlemen's gar dens is almost incredible. From Hackney to Guildford the rain as it fell rolled down the hills in such torrents as to resemble the bursting of an immense reservoir. Between Datchett and Windsor the guards of the South-Western Railway describe the water to be between two and three feet deep. On the Essex shore very little of the greensward can been seen, as it is covered with a silvery sheet of water. At Esher the railway guards pronounce the carriage roads to be so deep with water that even cabs in passing along have the water penetrating through their bottoms, almost as high as the seats. The most disastrous intelligence is expected from the seaports, when the next mails arrive to-day. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.17/ per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .£4 17s. 104 d. per mince for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advicoa from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per marl and the short exchange on London is 13.4/ per £1 Standard ; , ;old at the Engll,ll Mint price is, therefore, at about the come price In London and Hamburg. Enlargement of Natal. On the 13th of September a great colonial change was consummated. Quietly, and unknown to many, on that day the frontiers of this colony underwent a most material modification. Our southern border is no more the Umzinkulu. A proclamation which appeared in the Gazette declared that on and after the day we have named the Uintamfuna would, " for all purposes whatever, be annexed to and be come a port of" Natal. This new province, there fore, is now our southern borderland. Its use as an Alsatia—a convenient hiding place for roues and ruffians—has passed away. British rule is estab lished there. Law and order are to prevail there. An English magistrate will exercise jurisdiction in it. Its twenty miles of seaboard will impart to us a more respectable appearance on the map. Its 10,000 native residents are transformed from noble and independent savages into obedient subjects of her Majesty. Another large slice is taken off the quickly diminishing proportions of Kaffir land, and the day is hastening when the whole South African seaboard will bask under the British flag. This last acquired of the Queen's possessions is in a material sense no mean acquisi tion to this colony. It adds about a million acres, or something more than a twelfth part of our pre sent acreage, to our territory. Bounded on the north by the Umzinkulu river as far as its junction with the Ibisi, and thence by the ridge dividing these streams to the Tugela mountains,, following the water-shed of that lofty, crescent-shaped, and forest-skirted range to the nearest source of the Umtamfuna, which is now our southern boundary, it embraces a region very varied in its capabilities when compared with its size, and very well fitted for the settlement of European colonists. We can only hope that the available Crown lands thus se cured will be made the most of, and not heedlessly squandered for the behoof of none but jobbers or natives. Let the precise claims and position of the latter be at once ascertained or fixed, so that no question concerning them arise to vex the public mind in after years. Let the residue of the lands be studiously pre served for the legitimate purpose of drawing population thither. Round all our borders we ought to have a strong and well-organised band of settlers. The plan is easy enough. If the Govern ment were to lay out village settlements on a mili tary tenure, we believe they would soon be filled up. The mode of action would be this :—Thirty five thousand acres are set apart for such a location. In the centre of this tract, conveniently situated, a village is laid out. Sixty settlers are located here. There is ample commonage for the flocks and herds of all, but, what is more, there is the great charm of social neighbourhood, and there is the great boon of combined security. Such locations scattered along our borders—communities of some sixty settlers with their dependents —would surround us with a wall of fire which few savage enemies would attempt to break through. There are men now in the colony who would relinquish their present ex posed, remote, isolated farms to join such locations; and young hardy farmers in the Cape Colony, tired of its incessant droughts and other drawbacks, would do the same. There is reason to believe that settlers might easily be secured.--Natal Mercury. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—This Evening.

A public meeting of City ratepayers, convened by the Aldgate-ward Ratepayers' Association, was held last night at the Cheshire Cheese Tavern, Crutchedfriars, to consider the advisability of re form in the corporation. Mr. T. F. Salter presided, and the business of the meeting having been intro duced, Mr. Wright proposed a resolution to the effect that reform in the corporation was necessary, and that any proposition for such a purpose should receive the earnest support of the members of the Aldgate ward Mr. Whiteside, C.C., in the course of some remarks advocated the enlargement of the constituencies of the different wards in proportion to the amount of assessment. Mr. Proctor (Crip plegate ward) said the members of the Common Council were amenable to their constituents annu ally, and he thought there could be but little diffi culty in dealing with them. He thought that the principal charges were required in the Court of Common Sewers and the Court of Alderman. He was sorry that the latter body had betrayed the trust reposed in them, and he thought it was monstrous that the power of imposing the obnoxi ous county rate should have been given to them. He believed a most beneficial change would be effected if the aldermen of the corporation were elected every five years, and not for life. Mr. Isaacs (Aldgate ward) believed there was room for a certain amount of reform, and thought that the franchise should be given to every citizen house holder. He feared that in trying to accomplish the desired reform they would be furthering the attempts at centralisation made by the Govern ment. He had given full consideration to the question, and he had come to the conclusion that "it was better to bear the ills they had than fly to others they knew not of." Mr. Davis, C.C., and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting, and the resolution proposed by Mr. Wright was carried ilem. con. A vote of thanks to the gentlemen of the other wards who had come to the meeting ter minated the proceedings. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This day, LONDON, Nov. 22.—Wind this day at noon —South.

Laurence Sullivan's family, who are heirs to the Irish estates of the deceased premier; the properties of both being ample to support the dignity without any pecuniary call on the country. Sir William Temple, the friend and patron of Dean Swift, and Sir John Temple, aro historic names in Irish history." MEXICAN FROGS.—In a paper read last week to the Academy of Sciences, M. Auguste Dumeril de scribes a series of observations made by him on certain Mexican batracians or frogs, called Axolotl (Sireclon Mexi eanus or a Humboldtii), born at the Garden of Plants, their Mexican parents being still living. Between the 17th of April, the date of their birth, and the beginning of Sep tember, the young had attained the length of 21 centi metres, very nearly that of the old ones, which is 25 centim. At the latter period M. Dumeril remarked considerable changes in one of them : tho branchial appendages had disappeared, or left only a few faint traces ; the membranous crests of the back and tail were gone; the form of the head was somewhat modi fied, and numerous little specks of a whitish yellow were perceptible all over the body, strongly contrasting with the general black tint. The other individuals of the brood also gradually underwent the same transformation; whence M. Dumeril concludes that the Axolotl, instead of being a species by itself, with perennial branchia3, or gills, is nothing else but the larva of another species capable of transformation and deprived of branchite; and if so, then the parents which have boon at the museum for upwards of two years are only larva, notwith standing their power of reproduction. And if this be ad mitted, how can it be explained that the small fry born in April should in so short a time have undergone the trans formation just described, when the parents, brought over from Mexico to France at the end of 1863, have under gone no such change, and have only increased in size Again, have the Azolotls in their new state, which ex cludes them from all known species of unrodelous batra cians, at length arrived at a permanent form, or are they likely to undergo another metamorphosis ? These ques tions, of the highest interest to zoologists, 11.Dumdril hopes to solve by continuing his observation.s. THE HOURS OF EMPLOYMENT ON RAILWAYS. Yesterday Dr. Lankester opened an inquiry at the University College Hospital as to the death of J. Clark, a shunter, employed on the London and North Western Rail way, which occurred accidentally on the 16th inst , while passing a truck from on e li ne t o another by means of a turntable. One of the witnesses (a lad of about 16 years of ago) stated that deceased, himself, and the other men worked from six one evening to seven the following morn. ing. The accident happened during the last hour of work- That morning they had one hour and a half's rest in the stables. Some mornings they had three hours and a half's rest. Emma Reeves, a young woman, who appeared on behalf of deceased's wife, who was ill now, created a great sensation in court by declaring that for two nights and one day before the accident, deceased had been at work on the railway without intermission. Witness wont with deceased's wife to get the week's salary, and there were two and a half days' overtime credited on the bill. Several of the jurymen expressed themselves warmly on what they considered the monstrous conduct of the company, in allow ing a man to work two days and one night without inter mission. The ordinary hours they considered disgraceful for night work, and would not return a verdict until the statement as to the number of hours deceased had worked, was proved or disproved. It had been said that the accident happened through deceased scotching the wheels of his truck before it was fairly on the turn-table ; if that was the case they (the jury) were not surprised, after the manner in which the man had been overworked. The coroner said the jury had nothing whatever to do with the number of hours during which the man worked. If a man worked for a great number of hours it was at his own option, and he was sure that they as Englishmen would be the first to re ject with indignation any law for compelling a man to only work for a certain number of hours. The jury still refused to return a verdict, and, after a lengthened conversation, the coroner adjourned the inquiry for the production of the evidence they required.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills. Confidential Advice.—To all disordered stomach, biliousness, or flatulency, these pills persons who suffer from bilious headaches, are most strongly recommended as the safest test and quickest mode of obtaining ease without w eakeni ng or irritating the nervous system. Holloway's pills are espe cially useful in clearing away any excess of bile which usually produces fevers unless remedial measures bo adopted without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and con gestion of the lungs they may be relied upon for removing all danger, and by purifying and regulating the circulation they effectually prevent relapses. By rousing the liver to a fair secretion of bile, and quickly carrying it off from the system, these pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those distressing feelings often called nervous. t,), ea ck e he co Ee ly 3d 10 ry st r. at 190 100 100 1 , 0 100 100 NES. a M.
