VW, NE Y MARKET S:° ) comm. maxi3O IAL INTELLIGENTI. CITY, Two o'OLooK The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday ma nifested a steady though quiet aspect, closing flatly, however, at a decline of fully bd. per lb. on American. Other kinds without change. The Bales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 500 of which Were taken by the exporters, and 500 by the speculators. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were a shade lower than those current on Wednesday. Accounts from Berlin state that the fall which has occurred in the principal continental wool markets, in consequence of the monetary crisis, has not bawl felt there yet. However, the market is dull, and exhibits a tendency to decline. For the present the few transactions which occur Ore closed at September prices. The manufacturers appear to be holding on until the wool fair at Frankfort-on the-Maine, but still they must come into the mar ket to obtain supplies for their current wants. The arrivals at the commencement of the month are more than usually happens in Nov., dimiuislied partly by the August and September sales. The stocks on hand have itot been increased as in former years by fresh receipts from Prussia and Poland, so that they are not heavy. The manufacturers who have entered into contracts for this year's clip Complain of the lateness of the season, and where a greater quantity was expected they arc not more considerable than they were last year. In the provinces the contracts have been active for the next crop at as advance of 5 to 8 thalers per quip_ tal. The greater part of the PruF.sian wools have already been sold. In the markets for Foreign and Colonial produce this week a s ma ll er b us i ness has been transacted, thedearness of money occasioning a limitation of purchases,pvi but for nearl y all the p rinci p a l staples re ouslvalues h ave b een ma i nta i ned. Holders of sugar have brought forward a small quantity only for public _competition, and p r i ces have conse quently been firm. Coffee has been without any change of importance, and the demand has not been act i ve. For cocoa an advance of is. per cwt, has bee n o b tained. Tea has sold at former curren cies, and rice has been more inquired for at steady at's. Of saltpetre there has been scarcely any on offer, and a rise of is. to 2s. per cwt. has consequently been established. In spices there have been a few transactions, and ginger has been held for high prices. Cloves and cassia lignea have slightly de clined. Tallow has been dull, and ls. to 2s. per cwt. cheap er . AnotherNewJoint Stock Company of an exceed- t ; ingly useful cha rac t er h as just been brought before . the public, viz., the British Candle Company, 1 The capital required is 200,0001., and the pro- Meters, who have purchased the works of the Aritisla Sperm Candle Company, and of Bau- E Wen's Patent Candle Company, calculate upon , securing for the proprietors an ample return on the E subscribed capital. From an estimate made it is shown that a clear profit of 20 or 22 per cent. cau S be ea rne d i f the concern is judiciously managed, ,_, as there can be no doubt that the article manu factured will command extensive patronage. The investing public will do well to participate iu such useful undertakings as this, where a retur n i n th e at s hape of dividend s can be immediately insured, her than embark in foreign enterprise of a doubtful description. A meeting o f th e N orthern Counties Union Railway Company has just been held. The ques tion was as to dividing the 9,0001. in hand, and Wi nding up th e company, or to await the sale of Ile line to some other company. It was agreed b y a majority to leave the concern in existence still longer, with a view to its disposal for the benefit of the shareholders. A- moderat e b us i ness has been transacted in the English Stock market, but the quotations have ruled heavy in consequence of speculative sales. Th e aspect of monetary affairs still looks discouraging, while political events are also watched with anxiety, although it is now stated, in telegraphic accounts, that the Moniteur denies that the Anglo-French alliance is less strong than it was. This, however, if true, w ill prob a bl y not increase confidence, as it is not much that subject as the appearance of the Money Market which excites mistrust. The money pressure seems to have become almost chro nic, and even the most sanguine entertain Rao hope of an early improvement. Consols opened at about 92i - for money, and 92 to 931 for account. Th ey have since been 92g a and 93, owing to a pressure of sales. The New Threes have been marked 92 to 92k, and since 91 92. The New Deferred are 911 Z-. Bank Stock is firmer, viz., 214 to 216. Exchequer Bills are 2s. discount to is. premium. In Foreign Securities there has been a general decline, but there is not much activity in business. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 894,and 90, but are now 901 , and the 4 per Cents. are 1001 i. Spanish are weaker, the Threes being 41, the Deferred 23,1, and the Certificates 51.

(Before . the Lord Chancellor.) IN RE BESSEMER'S PATENT. Mr. Cairns this morning applied on the petition of Mr. J. Birch, of the Bowling Iron Works, Bradford, to set aside the patent lately granted to Mr. Bessemer for cer tain improvements in the manufacture of iron. The learned counsel, as the ground of his application, stated that the petitioner had obtained a patent for a certain discovery in the manufacture of iron, in June, 1355, which was in effectp recisely the same as that for which Mr. Bessemer had obtained a patent in 1856. The learned counsel read a letter, the specifications of the patent of Mr. Birch, and contended that if Mr. Bessemer claimed a patent for the introduction of atmcspher:c air under the surface for the purpose of deoxydising the metal, that was embraced in the patent granted to Mr. Birch. If the claim for a patent rested on the completion of the process of refining, reducing, and puddling at one operation, that .process was also embraced in the patent of Mr. Birch. He fully believed that Mr. Bessemer bad really made the discovery men tioned in the patent, but then it was in the Jane of the present year ; but his client had made the discovery some time previously, and Birch'sdiscovery had been in opera tion for a year and a quarter at the Bowling Iron Works, at the time that Bessemer's patent was taken out. The arguments in the case occupied the Court th• whole of the day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Today being a petition day, the Courts were occupied in hearing applications for the payment of money out of Court—none of which were of the slightest interest ex cept to the pat ties concerned. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (''ittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr, Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice E:le.) • The Attorney-General moved for a new trial in a case connected with a patent in a wool combing machine, and entered at great length into technical details, which were of no public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (tittiogs at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Crowder.) WEBSTER V. ORFORD. This was a feigned issue to try whether certain goods which had been taken in execution really belonged to the plaintiff, who laid claim to them. The plaintiff's right was clearly proved, and the jury found a verdict aceordingly. This was the only case before the Court. (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Crowder, and Mr. Justice Willes.) FINNEY V. LORD BROWNLOW CECIL. This was an action which has been tried twice, and been on several occasions before the Court ; the last trial took place before Mr. Justice Willes, at Guildhall, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff for 1,058/., being the amount of a promissory note given by the defendant for 1,0001., with interest. Mr. Serjeaut Byles now moved to set aside the ver- dict, and t' enter a verdict for the defendant. The question involved was one of a purely legal cha. ratter. The Court, however, refused the rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE NEW BARON. At the sitting of the Court, at which the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Baron Martin, and Mr. Baron Bramwell were present, Mr. Baron Watson (the new Baron in the room of Mr. Baron Platt, resigned) entered the court in his full robes, when the Oaths of Al legiance, Supremacy, and Abjuration were administered to him by Charles Panton, Esq., the senior clerk in the Queen's Remewbrancer's Office, in the absence of that officer (11. W. Vincent, Esq.), on account of illness. The oaths having been taken, the learned Baro■ subscribed the roll of oaths of the Barons of the Exchequer filed of record. The same oaths were administered in each court, to give concurrent jurisdiction. Yesterday, in addition to those oaths, the ancient oath of the Red Book / of the Exchequer was administered by the Queen's &mem brancer, before the Lord Chancellor. The learned Raron commenced his judicial functions by sitting at chambers this afternoon. DEGG ADDIINISTRATRIX, &C.i V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Ke ding, Q.C., moved pursuant to leave in this case, for a rule to show cause why the verdict found for the plaintiff on the first issue should not be set aside, and the defendants generally on both issues, the verdict on the second issue having been found in their favour. This action, which has been previously tried before Baro❑ Alderson, involves a question of the liability of railway companies for accidents caused by parties volun- tarily assisting servants of the company. Mr. Baron Alderson said that at the trial he bad directed the jury to find a verdict upon the fact only, whether the deceased, at the time of the acciden`, was acting voluntarily or not, when they found for the defendants, but on the plea of not guilty, he directed a verdict for the plaintiff. Rule nisi accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DRUNKEN PROSECUTOR.--A tall, fashionably-dressed young woman, who gave the name of Laura Mayne, was placed at tho bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing two 5/. notes, two sovereigns, and some silver, the property of John Webb, butcher, 14, Newport market. The prosecutor, who appeared to bo in a state of semi intoxication, stated that last night, about 11 o'clock, he was proceeding along Compton-street, when the delay). ant came up to him and asked him to treat her. H e declined acceding to her request, and told her to go about her business, as he was going home to his "old woman." (Laughter.) He then walked on a little way, the prisoner walking by his side, when all at once he felt her hand in his trousers pocket. At that moment two men came behind him, and one of them struck him a violent blow on the side of the head. The waman then ran away, and on feelin& in his trousers pocket he missed a canvass bag containing two 51. notes, two sovereigns, and ss. in silver. He then went in pursuit of the prisoner, and came up with her in D3an.street, when he gave her into custody. Carpenter, 36 C, said about 12 o'clock last night he was on duty in Dean-street, when the defendant came up to him, and claimed his protection from the prosecutor, whom she alleged had been stopping her. Witness asked him why be. did so, when he replied that she had been robbing him of his purse, which she most indignantly derled. He then took her to the station, where she was searched, but nothing ,was found upon her. • The accused denied all knowledge of the prosecutor or his money. She was going home when he seized' her and charged her with robbing him, and eventually gave her into custody. The prosecutor admitted that he was so exceedingly drunk that he would not now swear to the prisoner as the person who had robbed him. ,Mr. Bingham, under these circumstances, at once discharged the defendant.

Mr. John Watkins, a clerk in the War Department at the Tower, stated that be bad charge of the small-arm department, and the prisoner was employed as an as3is taut store-keeper. On Wednesday evening last be was informed that the prisoner had pledged a Colt's revolver pistol in Ste Borougb, belonging to her Majesty, when he was sent for by the principal storekeeper, and given into custody. Joseph Harris, assistant to Mr. Bldard, pawnbroker, High-street, Southwark, stated that on Tuesday evening last, about balf-past six o'clock, the prisoner came into his master's shop and offered the pistol produced in pledge. He wanted 159., and said that Mr. Wharton, in the Blackfriars-road, had lent him 20s. on it. Wit ness, however, advanced him only 125., which he took, and left the shop. st ai d e a B r il o ' nes under his care, Mr. Watkins here examined the pistol, an d sa id it e miss one or two. He bad between aa w it I:: and i the t propertyaewvaas thousandim impossible s h i b e As soon as the prisoner was called before the store keeper he was asked where he got the pistol from that he had pledged. He replied that a man gave it him near Londoo.bridge, and asked him to pledge it for him, and he said he could produce that man if the constable went with him. The constable was sent with him, but the man could not be found. He was then given into custody. Mr. Daniel Flood, one of the artnourers employed in the small arms department in the Tower, stated that it was his duty to inspect all the small arms intended for the army, and all those which he considered properly I finished he marked. The pistol produced bore his mark, and had never been sold from the stores. It was one of 1 1 revolvers, and worth three pounds. One of the clerks employed at the Tower said that on Tuesday evening last he followed the prisoner from that place, and saw him enter the pawnbroker's. After he came out witness went into the shop and ascertained that he had pledged the pistol produced. He alter wards gave information to his superior officer. Mr. Chiffurfield, on the part of the prisoner, contended that he had not stolen the pistol in question, but that a man whom he met on London•bridge had given it him to pledge. In fact, there was no actual proof that it was stolen from her Majesty's stores. The magistrate thought otherwise, and to give the witnesses an opportunity of consulting the law officers of the Crown, he should remand the prisoner until Thursday next. MARKET NEWS.—(This ray.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Euglish wheat coastwise and by land carriage continue very moderate, and the show of samples in to-day's market was limited. All kinds, however, met a dull inquiry, at prices barely equal to those realised on Monday. The imports of foreign wheat are 9,400 quarters. For home consumption there was very little inquiry, yet im porters refused to accept lower terms. Fine barley was tolerably firm, but other kinds met a dull inquiry. Malt sold slowly, at barely late rates. We were barely supplied with oats, and the demand for them ruled heavy, at Monday's decline. Beans, peas, and flour sold to a fair extent, on former terms.

SERIOUS AFFRAY WITH THE POLICE.—BRIGHTON, Thursday.—The sth of November celebration of the Gunpowder Plot was carried out in this town in a man ner which has not been known for years, and the even ing's portion of the celebration was characterised b y a riotous and tumultuous gathering of hundreds of lawless fellows in the public streets, carrying and rolling lighted tar-barrels, armed with bludgeons of most formidable dimensions and shapes, and which unfortunately ended in serious collisions taking place between the mob and the police, several of the latter being most seriously injured. Seventeen of the mob were taken into custody, but 13 were discharged by the chief constable Mr. White, only four being detained. These men, whose nam es are James Duly, West, Wm. Bartholomew, and Wm. Ilitchings, wore brought up before the borough magis trates to-day on separate charges, the court being crowded.

MEL AIICH , q.`l' DEATH.--*An Irish ex-member of Pa:- liamen; arrived at Torquay a few weeks since with his family, for the winter months. He was seen on Satur day night last to enter a beer-shop In the company of a woman. The latter asserts that he remained With het until midnight, when she went, at his request, to fetch some beer. On her return the gentleman was lying on the floor. Medical aid was immediately procured, but life was extinct. The suspicious features of the case are that deceased was known to have a large sum of money on his person, and although a portion of this was found in his pockets after death it is still rumoured that a con siderable amount had been abstracted. From a " post modem " examination made on Tuesday it appears that deceasel died of apoplexy. A coroner's inquest has been opened to inquire into the circumstances of the case. AUSTRIAN RAILWAYS. —The concession for the Fran cis-Joseph Eastern Railroad has appeared in the IViemer Zeitung. The most important conditions are the com pany has the right to construct a railroad from Mohacs to Funfkirchen, in addition to the lines mentioned in former letters. The state also guarantees .5 per cent. for the Mohacs-Funfkirchen line. The railroad must be made for double rails, but only one set of rails Will be laid as long as the net receipts are below 15,000 f. per German mile. The whole railroad must be complete d within ton years. The prices for the transport of go ods are 1 &k. and 2k. per cwt. per German mile.

THAW:EI:AY 1N EDINBURGH, The Scotsman contains a summary of the first of Mr. Thackeray's lectures on "The Four Georges." There was -a crowded audience in the Mu.ic Bali--" not the le:s fit that, they were not few." The lecture comprised a rapid sketch of the Guelph family, from William the Pious, aho sang psalms with Doctor Luther and frugally ordered his quiet "palace" at Zell, to the German Prince who married his de scendant, and sorrowfully left his Hanoverian Court to assume the Crown of England. Thus tracing the ramifi cation 3 of the Guelph family, he at last centred the in terest in the Court of Hanover, to the Elector of which the Princess Sophia, nine years after eel- uncle, Charles I lost his head, along with her scanty trousseau the re. version of the Englssh Crown. Quoting a description of the ladies of the Court of Hanover in the time of the Electres3 Sophia's fOl3, Geoiga Lewis, who actually realiped this reversion, in which description "sly Mark Wortley" represents them as having all most beautiful rosy cheeks and alabaster foreheads, complexions that look charmingly in candle-light, and never leave them until their death) except when they go too near the fire), the 1 c urer took a peep into the guard-room, the pantry, the kitchen, the cellar, and the plate-room, calling up thrones uf pages, yeomen, cookA, scullions, confectioners, butlers, and keepers of the plate—and only two washerwomen for the whole court. At the ti , ce that Geor e ,e I, left his dear old Dent schlaal fir England feudalism had been fairly . beaten down by monarchy—the rule of the nobles had entirely succumbed to that of the Sovereign. Princes of the blood were proun to carry candles before Louis XIV., and quarrels originated between great nobles ' about which be should be privileged to hold tl • loyal shirt when his most Christian Majesty changed teat garment. The shrewd and cynical German had sufficient penetration to see through the pretence of loyalty with which he was received in England, know ing that there were fifty heirs to the Crown nearer than himself, and that he was there but by accident.. M., Keilmansegge, surnamed " the Elephant," whom le made Countess of Darlington and her rival, surnamed " the Maypole," whom he made Duchess of Ronda', had reluctantcy followed hint to England ; ano to them he would s •y—" Come, let us go to my privwe rooms, and have oysters, and beer, and Rhine wine, and let us leave these bawling British with their pretended loyalty." Of him, however, it must be said that he was loyal to England. Sporting Intelligence. TATTERSALL'S, THURSDAY. This was the first of the series of long winter after. noons.

FRAUD BY A CONTEACTOR.—A letter from Breslau of the 28th ult., in the Journal de Frankfort, states that a considerable sensation has been caused there by the arrest of M. Sch—n, one of the largest manufacturers of cloth and blankets at Stockereau, and contractor for the supply of the army. This arrest is connected with some extensive frauds committed by the military equipment commission. Between 30 and 40 other persons are impli cated in the affair. The military authorities have de manded that all the landed property of M. Sch—n, amounting in value to 600,0001, should be placed un. der sequestration. The great majority of the clerks em ployed by the above corosnission are mixed up in this fraud, which, it appears, has been going on since 1848.

The solicitors to Earl Talbot have issued a cir cular to the tenantry of the Shrewsbury estates, giving them notice not to pay their rents (some of which are now receivable) to th e d ev i sees o f t h e late Earl of Shrewsbury, or "in an y way t o ac knowledge their claim to or right of interference with the estates," and calling on them to pay their rents to the earl. The grounds upon whi c h E ar l Talbot rests his claim to the Shrewsbury -estates are thus set forth in the circular :—" By the 2d section of the act 6th of George I. (1720), it is enacted that the estates in question shall be and remain to the use and behoof of all and every p er _ son and persons being issue male of ,the body of John, first Earl of Shrewsbury, to whom the title, honour, and dignity of Earl of Shrewsbury shall, after the decease of Gilbert, Earl of Shrewsbury, George Talbot, and John Talbot (therein named), without issue male of their respective bodies, by virtue of the said l e tt ers pa t ent o f crea ti on of said earldom descend and come, severally and suc cessively one after another as they and every of them shall succeed to and inherit the said earldom, and of the several and respective heirs male of the body and bodies of all and every such per son and persons issuing, to attend and wait upon the said earldom and to be annexed to and de scend with the same.' By the Bth section of the same act the estates are made inalienable, but with a proviso enabling Protestants, conforming to cer tain ceremonies, to alienate. This proviso has, however, been repealed by the 32d section of the act 6th and 7th Victoria, chap. 28 (1843), passed upon the petition of the then Earl of Shrewsbury, a Roman Catholic. The issue male of the bodies of Gilbert, Earl of Shrewsbury, George Talbot and John Talbot, named in the act 6th George 1., has failed ; and Earl Talbot, as issue male of the first Earl of Shrewsbury, is now entitled to the estates. In April last the late Earl of Shrewsbury executed a deed by which be sought to disentail the estates, to become absolute owner of them, and to possess himself of an absolute power of disposition over them ; and by his will, dated in April last, he pro fessed to devise them to Mr. Hope Scott and Mr. Serjeant Bellasis." The circular states that Earl Talbot is about taking immediate steps to establish in due course his right to the earldom of Shrews bury and to the estates, and adds that the conside ration of his right to the earldom is necessarily de ferred till the meeting of Parliament. His lord ship's solicitors also offer to the tenants the indem nity of Earl Talbot and his eldest son, Viscount Ingestre, against any other claimant. THE RIGHT HOV. M. T. BAINES, M.P., AN) THE LEEDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The Right Hon. M. T. Baines, M.P., a few days ago visited this borough on his way from Harrogate to London. At the invitation of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce he had an interview with the council of that body, at their rooms in Park-row, for the purpose of hearing their opinions on several questions of interest to the trading community. Mr. Bou-field drew the atten tion of the right hon. gentleman to the law of partner. ship, and recommended that a hill should be introduced for the compulsory registration of Nll traders, Mr. John Jowitt explained the views of the council in favour of repealing the 17th section of the 29th Charles 11. chap. 3, called the Statute of Frauds, which provides that no contract for the sale of any merchan dise is good unless an earnest be received to bind the bargain, or a written contract be entered into. It was not the proctice in Leeds, or in any part of the country, except London and Liverpool, to make written contracts; and they were not thought necessary or desirable. Mr. Wurtzburg stated that in the opinion of the Council it would be well for Government to recognise the Cham bers of Commerce, and to consult them before presenting commercial measures to Parliament. Mr. Lupton drew attention to the necessity for reforming the administra tion of the Bankruptcy law, especially as to the remu neration of the officers of the Bankruptcy Courts, and the cost of working commissions. He said that the cost was such as to deter creditors from resorting to bankruptcy where any other method of winding up an estate could be adopted. In 121 bankrupts' estates, of which ho had received an account, the expenses amounted to 55 per cent. of the gross sum collected, and the average time of working was three years and a-half. The chamber thought that the officers of the Court should be raid fixed salaries, as in the County Courts, rather than remunerated by fees or percentage. Mr. Baines listened attentively to all the sugges tions made to him, and received the memoranda offered on the various questions. He promised that they should all receive careful attention in the proper quarters. He said that one:of the bills for assimilating the commercial law of England and Scotland, brought in owing to suggestions originally made by the Leeds Chamber to himself, and submitted by him to a legal commission, contained a clause repealing the objec tionable provision of the Statute of Frauds, but the clause had been struck out as the bill passed through Parliament. He then asked the Council their opinion on the Sound Dues; when the secretary read the peti tion which the Chamber had presented on the subject. Some other topics were slightly mentioned, among which were the heavy French duties on English linen yarns, fire insurance duties, the duty on paper, and local dues on shipping. After an interview of more than an hour the meeting broke up.—Leeds Mercury. FALL OF A BI?IDSE, AND LOSS OF LIFE, AT DINSDALE, NEAR DARLINGTON. On Tuesday afternoon great excitement was created in Darlington by the report that a bridge just erected over the Tees at Diosdale, about four miles from that town, had fallen whilst the men were removing the centres from the arches. The facts appear to be these : Prior to July or August last a wooden bridge, on stone buttresses, had served the purposes of the residents at Over Dinsdals, on the Yorkshire side of the Tees, which, at this place, is some GO or 70 yards wide. The bridge had not been erected many years, so that for merly, in order to get to Darlington, passengers had to take a very circuitous route. The wooden bridge was found to be inadequate, or not sufficiently strong, and the proprietor of the property on either side—the Rev. Mr. Temple, rector of Dinsdale, aud at present non-resident employed the county surveyor, Mr. Howisun, to prepare plans for a more permanent election. These plans contemplated the use of the old stone buttresses, and turning upon them four brick wiles, three spanning the river, and sue land arch on the -Durham side, varying from 45 feet to 48 feet span. The work was undertaken by Mr. Cail, who has recently been engaged on some viaducts and other important works on the Durham and Auckland Railway. His in spector was Mr. Turnbull, of Durham, under whom two men, named Taylor and Coates, were gangers or fore men of the masons and carp enters respectively. Some days ago the bridge being all hut completed, the wood work or centres on which the three river arches had been turned was slackened, the land arch having been ah-eady cleared ; and on Tuesday two or three men were e reFloyed in removing the centres, whilst several more were pointing the stone coping and doing other work. Shortly before noon, as some of the principal parts of th e centres were being taken out, an alarm was raised that the arches were giving way ; and in a few seconds the whole mass lay in the bed of the river, nothing re maining but the land arch and the stone buttresses. Two men, John Goldsbrough and John Wood, were buried in the debris, and Richard. Dobson and the two gangers (Taylor and Coates) partially so. The two latter es caped with bruises and slight contused wounds ; Dob son was dreadfully crushed across the abdomen, and lies at the rectory (the residence of the Rev. Mr. Smith) in an almost hopeless state. Goldsbrough and Wood, who could only be taken out after several hours searching by men who were nearly breast high in the stream, were dead. Mr. Hammond, a count, magistrate, living near the spot, caused medical assistance to be at once ob tained, and the wounds of the survivors were dressed. Goldsbrough was unmarried, bat Wood has left a wife aud one child. The bodies were removed to Hurworth in a dreadfully mangled state.-4f anchester Guardian. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
