CITY, Two O'CLOCK. • From the. manufacturing districts the accounts during the week have again been of an extremely unsatisfactory character. The stagnation in trade, owing to the onerous terms charged in the discount paarket, - together with the political and commercial ';'disturbance in qurunited States, having materially interfered with-the usual progress of business. The woollen trade "al Leeds, Bradford, -Huddersfield, and Halifax has continued very quiet, the only transactions entered into being for home requirements. At Manchester, symptoms of im provement were anticipated, owing to the expec tation that the.wea.ver strike at Blackburn had been arranged, but the unfavourable advices from tyr y India had again thrown a gloo* ver the market. The hosiery trade at Leicester h co ntinued active, and little or no improvemen can be recorded in the various hardware trades'in the neighbourhood of Birmingham, Sheffieltfoand Wolverhampton. An increased amount of business was recorded in the - Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices exhibited a partial recovery from the late depression. The sales were about 10,000 bales. The encouraging appearance of the Bank of England return has produced-rather a favourable influence upon the . Money Market, the - demand having slightly diminished, while the banks and discount: houses hive shown more disposition to grant accommodation at the current rates. The downward tendency of the American .exchange is an nniatisfactory feature, but this is counterbalanced by the arrival of large quantities of gold from Australia and their transfer to the Bank of Eng land. Last week an aggregate of £215,000 was sent into that establishment, and it is considered probable that a . portion of . the following con signments by vessels , now at sea, will be similarly appropriated, viz., by the Hebe with .£29,000, . Thames with' £69,000, the Ydale with £23,000, s Monarch with £89,000, and the Ocean Chief with : £BB,OOO. t a The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway Of Canada for the week ending the Bth inst. exhi- 8 bited an increase of £4B3 , compared with the same :1 period in 1860. 19 The annual meeting of the Bank of Egypt has _ . . :hart just been held, when the directors' report, which detailed at some length the transaction with the El Hami Pacha, comprising a loan of £162,000, dt upon which some difficulty has arisen, also et: recommended the carrying over of the balance of et, profit, Tiz., £2,887 . 195. 7d., to the Reserve Fund, , t , which was unanimously adopted. A special meeting of the Mercantile Discount Company has also been held, at Which a resolution for liquidating the company was confirmed. , The transactions in the Market for Public Se curities to -day have been limited, and have failed to inflUence the 'quotations to any appre ciable extent, - Consols being- 911 for transfer, and 911.' for account: Rather a heaVy feeling is produced by the decline in the New York Exchange, but the easier appearance in the money market prevents active speculation for the. fall. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 911 ; the 5 per Cent. Annuities are 107; Bank Stock is at 235 k ; India. ditto, 223 and 225 1 ditto 5 per Cents. are 99l ; and ExchEquer Bills remain at 6s. to 2s. dis. Foreign Securities have been moderately active, and prices Show'no important variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 69 to 70 ; ditto New 54 to 55; Mexican are fiat ,at 23k; and Portuguese at 468; Brazilian 5 per Cents. are steady at 100 k ; Sar dinian at 811 ; Spanish at 484 ; ditto Deferred are firm at 401 1 ; and the Certificates at 6k; Dutch 4 per Cents. are 100 i. In the Railway Share Market business has con tinued moderately active, but the variations in prices have not been important. Lancashire and York shire, Great Westerns, South Westerns, and North Eastern (Berwick), have declined ss. ; Caledonians and and Great Northerns, :10,3:; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £1; Eastern Counties, Great Northerns, and North Westerns have im proved ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has been very little activity, and prices have shown no change of importance. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are flat.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, the demand for most kinds was inactive at about stationary price's. All descriptions of spring corn—espeCially fine barley and oats —commanded full quotations. ,In the value of flour very little change took place. On the Continent the trade generally, may be considered in a heglthy state ; but in the United States, .both wheat and flour have ruled rather lower in price. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were trifling. From abroad we received 29,027 quar ters of , wheat, 9,01,8 -barley, 6,379 oats, 32 beans, 765 peas, 1,307 tares, 15,962 linseed, 4,922 rapeseed, 145 sundry, 550 sacks and 15,766 barrels of flour. We have aga;n to report the arrival of a very pOor show of• English wheat, both as regards quantity and quality. Notwithstanding that the show of both red and white samples was much restricted, the trade ruled very inactive. However, all fine dry samples changed hands somewhat readily, at fully last Monday's currency; ; but low and damp parcels were with difficulty placed at irregular quotations. The shoW of foreign wheat was large, and sales pro greased slowly in all descriptions. Holders, however; were indisposed to make any concessions in prices, and the limited business done was at previous quotations. Floating ,cargoes, , owing to the large arrivals off coast were very dull and rather cheaper. Fine barley was scarce and quite as dear as last week Most of the late arrivals have gone direct to the distillers. Malt was in moderate supply and sluggish request, on former terms. Oats commanded quite as much money as of late, but the transactions in them were ranch restricted. Beans changed hands slowly, on former terms. The inquiry for peas was inactive, at late rates. Flour realised previous quotations; but the inquiry for both English and foreign was less active. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a large supply of foreign Sheep On sale here to-day, chiefly from Germany, via Hambro'. The show of beasts and' dalves was tolerably good. From bur own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good as to number, and for the most part in fair average condition. The attendance of buyers was large, and the demand for all breeds ruled steady, at in some instances' an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs."The best 'Scots Sold without difficulty at 5s • f , per 81bs. The animals from Noyfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 1,500 Scots and dosses ; from other parts of England, 1,100 various breeds; and from Scotland, 170 Scots and crosses. Prime Down and long-vmolled sheep moved off steadily, at an ,improvement in value of 2d per 81bs.—the former having realised 6d—but inferior breeds sold slowly; never theless the 4uotations were well supported. / There were about 2,000 shorn sheep in the market, and which sold at Id per 81bs. beneath those in the wool. Very few lambs were brought forward, and the sale for them was inactive. Prices ranged from 6s 4d to 7s 4d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly at last week's prices. We have to report an inactive demand for pigs, and the currencies exhibited a tendency to give way. Per Sibs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.' s. d. F. d.

OLD COURT. The February sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced — this Morning, at the Old Bailey, before the Lord Mayor, Recorder, Aldernien, and Sheriffs. The calendar contains the names of 73 persons for trial, 03 being males and 10 females. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said although the number of prisoners awaiting trial was not larger than usual, the offences with which some of them were charged were very serious. There was 's. charge of fraudulent bank ruptcy against a person named Gandell, and also a charge 'of stealing a large quantity , of• tallow made againat Robert Fraser North, who formerly carried on the trade Of a Russia broker in the City. Another serious indictment was that preferred against Richard Corrie Bache, Who 'was charged with embezzling nearly £7,000. It was of the highest importance to the commer cial world that the whole d these charges should be thoroughly investigated, and the, duty of the grand jury would be to determine, after the hearing of the whole evidence, whether there was sufficient evidence, to ,enable them to return true bills in all the cases he had referred to. The offence of uttering counterfeit coin he regretted to find still continued, but by caution he thought it might in a great degree be prevented. He did not anticipate any diffi culty would arise in the execution of their duty, but if it did the Court would most readily render every assistance. The grand jury then retired to their room . _ , BIOTINyAY ROBBERY. Two•Meri, named Corder and Buckley, were indicted for stealing a watch from the person of a foreigner, on the 12th February. From the evidence it appeared, that the proiecutor was a captain of a foreign *vessel, and on the eyening-inquestion, about half past six o'clock, he was in Old Gravel-lane, when he was violently attacked by three men and robbed of , his watch. He was unable to identify any of the persons pOsitively as the parties 'by whom he was attacked, but he believed that one at least of the pri soners was the per Son who seized hini by the. throat while the otheri stele his watch.

This was about 8 o'clock. ilaving been let in I walked up to the drawing-yoem, where I remained about five minues, and then Lady Elcho having gone to her bed-room, Lwent up to the nursery to speak to the nursery-maid respecting an attempt to enter the premises on the Thursday, and while doing so Lady Elcho called me down,' and having listened at the bed-room window, I distinctly heard same persons attempting to enter the premises by the window. Lady Elcho went dawn and alarmed the servants, and one went into the garden to prevent any escape from below. I remained at the window. Great force appekred to be used at the 'window in the attempt , to open it. Two raeryservants in the -neighbourhood, , then Game into the room, and I gave 'charge of the window to them, - and went down into the garden. I called out to the - men, and told them that it was no use attempting to escape as the place was surrounded. The next I saw was the window Open and the men on the balcony. The police then came, and they were taken into custody. I have since seen marks on the window which correspond with animplethent, I believe, called a" jemmy." One of the prisonerki asked to be for given. The window is a verandah window. James Newnham, 96 C, said—l was called to the house of Lord Elcho, being told there were burglarp theie. I went into the garden and saw two men on the balcony. On going up stairs the servants told me the prisoners were the two men. 1 searched the prisoners but found nothing on ;them. Michael Giffard, 60 A, said I was called on Saturday night to Lord Elcho's, and found the two prisoners there. The last witness took Roberts, and I took Thomas into cus tody. On searching Thomas I found on him a piece of brass chain and a knife. Yesterday (Sunday) morning I found in the west garden two " jemmies," and on com paring the marks on the windows, &c., I find they corre ' spond. Underneath the balcony some lucifers and a piece of taper were also found. The prisoners, who bear very bad characters—Thomas being only lately released from four years' penal servitude — were then remanded for a week. THAMES. A KNOCK-DOWN BLow.—Henry George, a tall and powerful young man, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with violently assaulting Mr. Andrews, the land lord of the Little Wonder public-house, in Cottage-street, Poplar. Tho complainant said the prisoner was in his house on Saturday evening while a dispute was going on between witness and a young man respecting payment for a pot of beer. The prisoner interfered, and said "you want to best everybody; I have got something for you and your wife too," and at the same time struck him a heavy blow on the mouth with his fist, and knocked him down. He lost one of his teeth by the blow. The prisoner attempted a justification of the assault, but Mr. Yardley fined him 305., which he paid. ROBBING AN OLD MAN.—Lucy Gordon, alias Bennett, who has been several times in custody, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a bag containing ss. from an old man named Charles Jones, a baker of Queen's terrace, Manchester-road, Millwall. Henry Smith, a police •constable, No. 310 K, said that on Saturday night he saw the prisoner running along Stepney Causeway, and directly afterwards he heard a cry of " Stop thief." He stopped the prisoner, and said to her, what have you been doing, Lucy. She replied nothing, I want to go into the railway arch. Ho took from her hand a bag containing ss. ; directly afterwards the prosecutor came up and said the prisoner had stolen his money. The old man, who is very deaf, said he was not sober on Saturday night, and lost his bag and money out of his poc ket. The bag now produced by the policeman was his pro- • perty. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Yardley- 7 -This prisoner was here last week for dis honesty. Roche (the gaoler of the court)—Yes, air ; and she was also here 18 months ago, and, after several remands, dis charged. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to three months' im prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. 2111 S DAY'S SHIPPING.

VIE UIVITED The following are further extracts from the New York Herald of Feb. 9 THE ATTACK ON FORT SUMTER EMPEOTED TO BE MADE ON 'WEDNESDAY NEXT. Washington, Feb. 8, 1861. _ • Col. Hayne and Limt. Hall. the joint representatives of South Carolina, and Major Anderson, left this morning for Charleston. . . _ .. . ... Lieut.' Hall has had the final instructions of the Secre tary of War to Major Anderson for several days; but has delayed his departure because Col. Jlayne was not ready. Up to a very late hour last evening the latter had decided that he would not leave for several drys yet ; but for borne cause he su'denly changed, his mind, leaving much'work for Lieut. Hall to execute at a late hour last night. Asiate as midnight Lieut. Hall was holding an interview with Mr. Holt, Secretary of War. He had previously called upon the President and Secretary Dix. Col. Hayne's sudden decision last. night to leave here this morning 'was un doubtedly in consequence of late advices from Charleston, to the effect that the populace are ungovernable, and:are determined to attack Fort Sumter, no matter what over tures the federal administration here may make. I an satisfied from positive information received• direct from Charleston, that the attack has only been postponed until they. can erect a sufficient , number of batteriesao ac complish their purpose, and the moment that is done they wi I open fire uptsig Fort 'Sumter -without-refreneeito any thing that Col. Rayne may be doing here. His hasty re; turn undoubtedly has reference to this Mate of ,things.. If a fight is to be precipitated; there having been no- yielding to the demants of South ,Carolina,` he desires to make the attack in a formal official way, and not allowit to be made by a disorganised mob. The time for withholding reinforcements to Major Ander.: derson will cease the -moment Lieutenant Hall returns 'td Fort Sumter. I'learn from a reliable source that Wednesday next has been ,fixed upon •as, about the time when- the secessionists will be ready to commence the assault upon, Fort Sumter. Four or five belonging to the Gulf squadron will soon return to Northern ports, most of them to New York. The impression here among gentlemen who are well ac quainted with the subject is, that no apprehension need be. entertained reliitive to an.immediate attack on Fort Sum ter, as thatrquestion will be referred to the Southern Con , ' gress, . • meanwhile the South Carolina authoritie s w ill k eep stricter guard of the'coast to intercept any attempt to rein force Major Anderson; all domestic' supplies' and mail faci lities are to be denied, and every possible means taken to weaken and'starVe ant the garrison. Major Anderson has written to "Senator Crittenden, rela tive to the charge-that on his movement in 'retiring front Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter he took the,act initiative of.a declaration' of war. Major Anderson furthermore declares that if he had been, or is,' attacked under hilt present in structions, he-will defend the fort to the lash; and, before he will surrenaer he will blow up the works. Washington Feb. 8, 1861. It is reported here to-night, that New YOrk bankers have decided not to loan money to the Government unless pre sent difficulties are settled. RESIGNATIONS IN THE HOME SQUADRON. A correspondent at Vera Cruz, writing on the 20th inst., states that Paymaster 'Clarke and Surgeon Grafton; both of Arkansas, and now in the some squadron, have sent in their resignations, and asked to be relieved at once. Lieutenants Rutledge, Porcher, Ino ' Taham and Evans, of South Carolina, and Midshipman Read, of Mississippi, have done the same. Flag Officer Prendergraat has for warded their resignations, but refuses to' allow them to return them. These officers - have represented to him thab the• Union is, dissolved, and that they cannot and will not serve under a -flag that is hostile to th 9 South ComModore.

SECESSION .PROCESSION IN .MEIIIPIIIS. Memphis, Feb. 8, 1861. There wisai; immense Seceitsion torchlight procession to-night—the largest ever held here. Great entbusiasni was manifested. A SOUTHERN SYMPATHISER SHOT DEAD IN OHIO. The Zanesville Courier of the Ist inst . contains the par- ticulars of the shocking murder of Wm. Wilkins, a, few days previous, 'at Sewellsville, Belmont county, Ohio. The murdered man was enraged in a heated discussion of the national troubles, dining which he earnestly sided with the South, and, exhibiting a pistol, expressed his willingness to, fight for her. One of his companions, who had taken part in the discussion, requested Wilkins to let him see the pistol, and upon his compliance with the re quest, remarked that if those were Wilkins' sentiments it was as good a time now as any other to make a commence ment, and placing th 6 weapon at the breast of the latter, fired, the ball entering the heart and killing him instantly. No arrests were made. UNION SENTIMENTS IN TEXAS. A correspondent from Austin, Thum, writes that although secession is rampant inTexas, yet there is a strong, conser vative, 'Union-loving sentiment there, which, if properly nurtured, will exercise considerable influence. The Gover nor of Texas is strongly opposed to the immediate seces sionists, and will in no way favour their schemes by advis ing precipitate action. Texas has gained too much by joining the Union to be willing to leave it if any reasonable com promise is offered to the South. At the time of its annexa tion Texas only contained 50,000 inhabitants. The last census shows that its inhabitants now number 415,000 whites and 183,000 slaves. The United States expends an nually about 2,500,000d1s in defending the frontier against ' Indian incursions; and the experience of last winter shows that if the federal forces be withdrawn, the rich valley of the Rio Grande will become the prey of Mexican robbers and filibusters. No wonder, then, that Texas does not de sire to leave the Union if she can honourably remain. SPEECHES ON THE CRISIS. House of Representatives, Feb. 8. The house resumed the consideration of the report of the Committee of Thirty-three. Mr. HATTOF (opp.), of Tenn., contended, with regard to the principal question et issue—namely, slavery in the ter ritories—that question has been decided in favour of the ' Sarah, and slavery was entitled to protection in the Terri tories. It was complained that these rights were not re spected, and upen this ground some of the States say they will secede, While Others have seceded; but Tennessee would seek no such remedy for wrongs. She would deem herself humiliated and disgraced if she abandoned the constitution of their fathers, and helped to dismember this glorious Union. He protested against the State being dragged in the wake of the reckless and selfish leaders of the cotton states. Mr. XELLOGG (rep.), of 111., said that if the country was to be saved parties and platforms must be sunk and buried in oblivion. He cared for no party and no platform in the face of the momentous crisis before them, and his principle of action in this dread emergency would be that the Union must and shalbbe rreserved. No matter at what abandon ment of party. or platform, so long as there would be .no abandonment of honour and conscience. The questions at issue were.such as_might easily be adjusted if they were approached with deliberation and calmness, ) and, with feelings free from the trammels and prejudices - of party. Let this be done, and peace and harmony would once more be restored to our distracted country. Re volution, unfortunately, is a fact, and history has re• corded it that six States, and perhaps seven, of the outer circle of the States of the confederacy have withdrawn their Ilight and brightness to set—unless they, return as legal States—to set in that darkness for ever which disloyalty to truth and freedom must ever engender. The time has come when all men, North and South, must combine to save the Union, sluicing Out of sight for the time at least all abstrac tions which had hitherto prevented them front clearly see ing the proper course which.lay before them. Let them do this, and the sun would not rise and set five times until peace was restored. Harmony would once =ore spread her wings over this great nation, and still the glorious old stars and stripes will wave as bright and free as ever—not a star erased, not a line tarnished on the brave old flag. (Ap plause,,) What were the difficulties which prevailed, and from whence did they spring ? The real diffictilty was not as' to the returning of fugitives from labour, for in his State, and in all other'States where the question had been tieste,dv, every facility had been given to the, executio lies f that a Inv Mr. Lincoln had declared in one o f his speec_lw. g " Smith was entitled to an efficient f u g itive star ti l o T t then, could they establish any was a mere bagatelle, and had reallyh a r o p res ent difficulties which threaten the Union, disruption t d i n with of flitth e - Union, as the ques';ion:wase!isy so l a tion.

Fifty years tago. it was generally government s conceded. South as well askNoith, that slavery was wrong; but since then education and political training had' greatly changed the current of twills feelings with regard to-this question,,and now, the ,bpinions of the people cannot be changed. They, might legislate till the tide ceased tO flow, and yet the Sottth bblieve that slavery was right ; they.might legislate till the sun grew tired of his course, and yet the Northern mind would retain , the belief that slavery was a moral and political evil. This was e; subjeCt on which it was useless to legislate,- Now, the propositiein introduced •several days ,ago was to amend the constitu tion as our fathers have before us. How was the questiein in 1820 'settled ? A remedy was at once applied—a line was drawn between the free and slave States, saying ,that ,north igthat line slavery 'shou ld not be, but south of it slavery might mist. The result was that peace - warrestored tai the country, an undisturbed peace of 30 years, during which quad the coiuitiy devoted itself to the development of their natural resources. He further explained his proposition, be= . lieving that it would be the opinion of the American people in six months. He did not talk to politicians, as they are . joined to' their idols. 'Let them - alone. Mr, Farnsworth (rep.) of Ill.„ asked his colleague whe• ther he favoured slavery south of the litre ? Mr, Kellogg , replied .that he Would adhere to the line_ with all ifs , legal and logical consequences:. In further re .4ponSe to .a question from Mr. Farnsworth he reminded, that gentleman that' he (Mr.T.) voted for the Crittenden- Montgomery •amendment,i which' embraced a provision to • admit Kansas with slavery in..the constitution, if the peo ple should so dstermin;, • • Mr. Farnsworth said he, knew the people would not go' determinq. Mr Kellogg resumed, saying • that he vote • d for that aniend unlit inAlle full recognition of the - principles it embodied; He was for ,his country in all_ its parts. ,He did.not cam whether his proposition was found in the Breckinridge, Douglas, otrepublican platfOrni. It was enough for him it it suits the country. (L ou d app l ause. ) Mr. Smith (opp.) of N.C, in the course of his remarks:. said that his State mould n6t be a party to the destruction of the government, so long as her rights and honour Were , safe within the Union. He concluded by advocating the Crittenden compromise. fr t s , po/4 71,VG . INT EL LIG ENCE. BETTING AT MANCH ESTR-SATtiltDiY.

The thoroughfare has 'been finished nearly a month, but it was considered prudent to defer the opening until the brickwork of the arched duct beneath the carriage-way had time to set, before heavy loads were allowed to pass.over it. The new street being the only direct communication• be tween the western roads and Covent-garden, the growers and salesmen took inimediate advantage of the facilities afforded for the transit of garden produce. LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION.—SHIELDS, Saturday. —A fearful explosion occurred upon the Blyth and Tyne Railway on Saturday morning, which occasioned a good deal of mischief, and caused great alarm in the seaport of Blyth, A light passengers' engine, called the Wasp, was standing at the railway station in that town, in readiness to take away the first train to Percy Main for Shields and New castle, when the boiler suddenly exploded. It lifted the engineman, Richard Charlton, from his feet, and hurled him a distance of 15 feet from the engine. The fireman, Jeremiah Hall, was badly scalded, and the boiler appears to have divided into three parts. One portion was hurled against the end of a house - o ccupied by a joiner, named Dixon, which it greatly damaged; another portion 'was pitched into a building belonging to Mr. Robinson, of Blyth, which it injured ; and a third part was thrown into a slake, covered by the tide at high water. The engine is described as a wreck, and a carriage in the train next the engine was smashed up. Fortunately it was too early in the morning for persons to be assembled at the station, and some of the passengers who would have travelled by the train were hurt. One of Charlton's thighs is broken, awl he is otherwise in jured. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE- EAST.—On Saturday morning, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr. West's stevedore, No. 10, Betts-street, St. George's-in-the-East. Engines from Watling-street, School House-lane, Jeffrey-square, and Wellclose-square, promptly arrived, but there seemed not the slightest chance of saving any portion of the premises. A plentiful supply of water having been procured the engines were got to work, but the flames rapidly progressed, and shortly after the engines wet e called into action the roof fell in with a tremendous Crash. The firemen kept to their work, but the fire was not ex tinguished until a building, about 100 feet long by 50 feet wide, was destroyed, and six valuable horses burnt to death. No. 9, Betts-street, in the joint occupation of several fami lies, was severely damaged by fire. The extensive premisk of Messrs.- Brickback, sugar refiners, Denmark-street, and others, severely damaged by fire and water. As to the origin of the fire nothing is known.

A FEROCIOUS 1:0X.--The Brechin Advertiser reports a desperate wounter with , a fox. On Tuesday morning, as Archibald. Thow, servant to,Mr. Scott, Milton of Balhall, Menmuir, was going away to his work, he heard some disturbance aboiit the henroost. On entering he was instantly seized by some feroCious animal, but, it being quite dark, he was tinable to see whatit was. In the scuffle the animallgot a firm hold of one of his hands. Archie,, n othing . daunted—having now but one hand to fight with— got him-down, and put his knee on the animal's neck to make him relinquish his hold, but all of no avail. Mr. Fox still kept his hold (for it was now evident that it was a huge monster of a fox by the whisking of the brush in his face). Archie having no other weapon of defence, com menced kicking him on the head with his feet, and suc ceeded in kicking out both his eyes and in wrenching his hand from the iron grasp, striking the teeth through the flesh.' There being no tithe to lose, he instantly cauffut the fox by the hind legs, and dashed his head againit a stone several times.
