MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is more demand for money to-day, and the rates in the open market, which last week ranged 48 low as 51, have risen to 6 per cent., owing to the advance in the Bombay exchange and the prospect of larger exports of both gold and silver. The 'Tasmania, from the "West Indies, has brought £366,680 in specie. Silver has advanced to 55. ld. d per ounce stan dard, owing to the rise in the rate of exchange at Bombay, The accounts from the manufacturing districts re lating to the state of trade there during the past Weer are highly satisfactory. The improvement in the cotton market had very favourably affected the Prices for both yarn and cloth at Manchester; the r eaction had also extended itself to Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, and Halifax, where the respective ruarkets showed increased animation. Birming ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton exhibited no slackening in the great activity which has prevailed tn all their departments for so long a time. At a special meeting he!d to-day of the share. holders of the Union Bank of Australia, Mr. R. Brooke, M.P,, in the chair, the resolutions passed " the 11th inst. were confirmed, increabing the capital from £1,000,000 to £1,500,000, and for the immediate creation of 10,000 shares:of £25 each, to be Issued to present proprietors pro rata at £45 Per share, a premium of £2O per share. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. neuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 66 f• 70e. Flat, in consequence of the new brociure l'esPdcting England's refusal to attend the Con gress. A decline of about i per cent. has taken place in t he market for the English Funds, induced by Monetary and political prospects. Consols are 92 i 1 for transfer, and 901 1 for account. The S chleswig-Holstein difficulty, the uncertainty felt r egarding the Congress, exert an unfavourable in fitlenee, and et the same time the prospect of in creased exports of specie creates anxiety lest greater :3tringency should be experienced in discount circles. ~the New Threes have been marked 901 ; the Reduced Annuities, 901 1; and Exchequer Bills h ave further receded, viz., to 108. and B s. die.; Indi a 5 per Cents. are 1081 109 ; and the Deben tares, 9 9t. 11 1 the Foreign Market there is very little ani mation, and a decided downward movement has ta ken place in values.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 24 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per If. sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 i7s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.a that gold is nearly 3-lOths per cent. dearer in London than 111 Paris. By advices fromnambur,g the price of gold is 425 h per mark and the short exchange on Loudon is 13.5 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint:price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in hamburg than In London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 159i.t0 160 per cent., and the premium on gold is 456 to 451 per cent. At these rates there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United States. It is stated that the directors of the Ptninsnlar and Oriental Steam Company will recommend the following paymentsto the shareholders in their an nual report, viz.—Diper cent,vidend, 31 per cen t. ; a dditional payment, 2 per cent.; and di str ib u ti on from under writing Account, 11 THE SUN, LONDCI.,, MONDAY EVENING, NoVEMBER 30, 1861 MARKETS—This Day MARK-LANE. The trade for English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and both red and white qualities sold at higher terms. Good and fine malting barley fully supported previous rates, and for oats, beans, and peas, including flour, the demand was steady, at full currencies. On the Continent the corn trade is firm, and prices have an upward tendency. At New York wheat, flour, and maize have sold at enhanced rates, but the advance has not resulted from any material increase in the export demand. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderato. The imports from abroad amounted to 5,726 quarters of wheat, 18,534 barley, 7,638 oats, 1,535 beans, 3,496 tares, 9,339 linseed, 12,392 oil seeds, 240 sun dry seeds, 2,275 sacks and 1,781 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark-lane to this morning's market, the arrivals of English grain from Essex were very small. The receipts from Kent were also much restricted, and the con dition of the produce was, on the whole, tolerably good. Both for red and white qualities the trade was very firm, and, compared with Monday last, an advance of fully is per quarter took place in prices, Very superior wheats were held at 2s per quarter more money; but this improve ment was realised in very few instances. A clearance of the supply was readily effected. The supply of granaried samples of foreign wheat was moderate, and the show of produce ex ship was small. Red American wheats sold freely, at an advance in prices from Monday last of is to 2s per quarter. White American wheat—the quality of which is still indifferent—realised is per quarter more money, and all other descriptions were Is per quarter dearer than on this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of wheat ruled firm, and an advance of quite Is per quarter. The value of other kinds of grain, afloat, had an upward tendency. The supply of barley was tolerably large. Good and fine malting parcels moved off steadily, and prices ruled firm; otherwise, the barley trade was dull, yet no quotable change took place in the currency. About an average business was transacted in malt, at late rates. With oats the market was scantily supplied. Buyers being indisposed to operate beyond their immediate wants, the trade was rather quiet, but all qualities fully supported the recent improvement in their value. The supply of beans on sale was only moderate, and the trade ruled firm. The prices realised for Mazagans showed an advance of ls. per quarter from the late lowest point; but in the pi ices of other descriptions, no alteration took place. Peas—the supply of which was in a great measure con fined to home-grown produce—ruled firm at extreme rates. For flour there was a steady demand, and prices had an upward tendency. Extra State barrels realised 225, 6d. and superior Ohio brands, 265., being an advance of 3s. per barrel from the recent low currency. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE —This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A WIFE STABBED BY HER HUSBAND.— Charles Henry Thornton, an engineer, living at 8, Market-street, Fitzroy market, was charged before Mr. Knox with feloniously cutting and wounding his wife, Caroline Thornton, with intent to her some grievous bodily harm. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, attended to watch the case. The prosecutrix, whose head was enveloped in surgical bandages, said—l am the wife of the prisoner. A little before 11 on Saturday night I had a quarrel with my husband and to 1r up a knife, and he took it from me and cut his finger.

My mother called " murder" out of window, and my father hit her with his fist first and then the light went out, being knocked down, and toy father then hit my mother with the • knife. Mr. Knox —Hoy do you know ? Witness—Because ther , is a light opposite. Mr. Knox—Where aid he hit your mother with the knife ? Witness—On the head. Mr. Knox—Did your mother fall ? Witness—Father pushed her over, but dial not strike her again with the knife, but he did with his fist when she called "murder." Mother then went downstairs, and I went for a policeman. Charles Frost, 163 E, said—l was called by the last witness to the house at half-past 12 on Saturday night, and found the prosecutrix sitting on the door-step, bleeding very much. At first I thought it was from her throat, but I feund it was from the heed. A constable who was there took the pr , ,ecuLtrix to the hospital, and I went upstairs to the prisoner, and on telling him that his wife was taken to the hospital, he said "Itis as mach her fault as mine." I found a knife on the table, and a cloth, with which it had e ei :ently been wiped, there being marks of blood upon it. Mt. Knox—Was the prisoner drunk? Frost—He was. Robert Pitt, 171 E, deposed—l was called to the house, and, finding the prosecutrix smothered with blood, I, with the assistance of some costermbngers, took the prosecutrix on a barrow to the University College Hospital, where the doctor stated the prosecutrix had received a severe wound on her head, which he believed had been inflicted withsome blunt instrument. Mr. Knox—l shall remand the prisoner for a week, and the surgeon at the hospital can then be in attendance. It appears that the parties lead a very quarrelsome life. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF EMBEZZ LEMENT.—Henry Helier, a respectable looking young man, was placad at the bar, charged with embezzling the sum of 15s. 9d., received by him for his master. Samuel Cresswell said that he was cashier in the service of Mr. John Grammer, 125, Brompton- road, provision merchant, and that prisoner had been in his employment as shopkeeper and porter. It was part of his duty to carry out goods and receive money, which he should account for immediately upon his return home, On the 15th October prisoner was sent to Mr. Baker, a customer, with geode, amounting to 15s. 9d., for which he never accounted. Prisoner —It was not me who took the money. I can assure your worship if you examine into the matter closely you'll find that to be so. Mr. Selfe—When was it ascertained that the money had been embezzled ? Witness —Only a few days ago. I thought it very strange that Mr. Baker's bill was not paid, and I sent another bill for these same articles, and then I found that the money had been previously paid. Mr. Selfe—ls there any one here from Mr. Baker's? Witness—There is. Mr. Selfe—ls there any receipt produced ? Witness—Yes, but it is in the name of Staker. Mr. Selfe—Had you any man of that name in your em ployment P Witness—Yes, we had. Prisoner—You'll find I'm as innocent as a child. I would penal servitude if guilty, but no t mind undergoing 20 y ears ' it is vety hard to be here for nothing. I never took the goods to Mr. Baker's, and I never took the money. Miss Baker said—l paid the bill in question, and produce the receipt. It is signed in pencil "J. Staker," as you see, sir. Mr. Selfe—To whom did you pay it? Miss Baker —To a fair young man like the prisoner, but I cannot say it was him. Prisoner—You'll find it was not me. Mr. Selfe—Does any one know Staker's writing Police—He is here himself. J. Staker said—The signature to the bill is not my writ ing. Some of the letters of the signature are unlike it. Miss Baker—Staker is not the man---it was a fair man. Mr Selfe—Have there been any other young men who have been in the habit of going to Mr. Baker's. Miss Baker—At different times we have had different persons come with goods. Mr. Selfe—ls Staker still in your. employ? Mr. Grammer—No, he has left me, so has the prisoner. Mr. Selfe, to prisoner—l must remand you, but w ill take one surety in t 2O f.r your appearance. S TA' BARNSLEY, Nov. 28.—The collieries throughout the whole district of South Yorkshire are in full operation, and many of them are doing as much business as possible to meet the demand not only of the metropolitan but provin cial markets. The greatest activity is manifested in the trade, and coal merchants generally are preparing or stock ing their yards for the winter. The demand to Hull via Keadby is as good as it has been for some time, and there is a fair inquiry both for house and steam coal. For Decem ber the prices are as follows :—Old Silkstones, 7s 9d and Sc. per ton at the pit mouth; gas coal, unscreened (Silk stone), 6s 9d and 78 per ton ; steam coal, 6s ; malting coke, 6s ; Silkstone house coal, 7; to 9s ; and other descriptions of house coal runs as low as 4s 9d per ton. Locomotive coke without change in mice. Bramisolleet, 28th.—The trade of this town is in a very healthy state ; with the exception of the gunrnakers and some branches of the fancy trades the manufacturers are all of them well employed. In the course of the last fortnight orders have come in freely on account of the country trade. The factors' travellers are doing well both in the manufac turing and agricultural districts, and have sent home better filled order-sheets of late than they have done for the last three or four years at this season. For the class of hard ware goods which are in general domestic use there is a steady demand—in some instances manufacturers have a month's orders on their books—these, with such as may come in hereafter, will keep our trade brisk up to the end of the quarter. The export trade is reported quiet, but there are grounds for the belief that the orders in hand are not below the average at this period of the year. In reference to particula r b ranc h es th ere h a s not been much change of late—the workers, edg rolling-millse are all on at full time, and the wire -tool r m e a a k u er o s t , t h h o e l m low do - i w n a g re a m go a o n d u t fa ra c d tu e r . ers,and tinplate drawers, BRADFORD, 28th.—There is a fair quantity of wool great changing firmness. hands. P T h a m i c p e s r o i n v e a m l l classes h a e r e e o t m t o a n i n . t m a i a n r e k dwith e th aa tended to create a better feeling and to give more confidence. Spinners frequently seek to obtain a slight concession, but are rarely, if ever, successful in this effort. The business doing in worsted yarn s i s chiefly confined to the home de mand and for Scotland. The continental merchants, who exercise great caution in the present unsettled state of Ger many and Denmark, refrain from dot gany new business. on S p i nn ers, however, are well employed contracts which There will not expire for some time to come. is little new b us iness doing in fabrics. Plain goods a re not in demand, and the business doing is confined to all ki nds cf fancy arti cles. Fancy manufacturers are very busy. S tocks are low. Prices are hardening. DUNDEE, 27th.—The demand for flax was not active to day, but sellers are v er y firm, and the few transac tions re ported are at fully previous prices. Common tow and co are quiet and easier to buy, but medium and fine are in good request, at steady rates. The fall in the price of jute in London on Wednesday has fur the present checked the demand here, and, excepting for the finer qualities, which are wanted and scarce, the rates of last market day could with difficulty be got, Holders, considering that stocks aro light and the demand for goods great, expect to see prices rally a little again, and do not press sales. Few par cels have therefore changed hands to-da y . The yarn market was rather quiet, but spinners, especially of flax and tow yarns, are very firm, and as they are so largely foresoldthey can afford to look on for a little. Jute yarns have not to any appreciable extent gone back in prices with jute, but few of them were sold to-day, and if material keeps lower they may also give way a little, but no great fall can be looked for, so many spinners having orders to occupy them for months without further sales. There was a good in quiry for linens today, and prices are fully maintained. HALIFAX, 28th.—The closing market for the present month has been satisfactory. Though there is a little fall. ing off in the business doing with Germany, the general con dition of the worsted, the carpet, and the woollen trades is sound and healthy. The manufachirers keep in steady employment, and neither yarns nor goods are much in ex• cess of the demand. Both the sales and the orders in the home trade are to a full average extent for the season of the year. Prices in general are well maintained, and those of wool keep very firm. HUDDERSFIELD, 28th.—There has been a little more business done in the woollen trade here this week than last. Purchases, however, have been a good deal confined to small parcels of miscellaneous goods, Woollen and Bedford cords are still in fair demand, and the better qualities of plain and fancy trowserings are not difficult to sell. Spring goods are sought for, but, except where orders have been given to the manufacturers, chiefly as patterns. The shipping houses are not doing much, but as Canadian buyers are now coming over to look o it goods suitable for the early part of the en suing year, it is probable that an improvement in the ex port trade will soon take place. Though wools are purchased cautiously of the local brokers, prices keep very stiff. LEEDS, 28th.—There was quite as much business done in the woollen cloth-halls today as last Saturday. Indeed, there was a better attendance of buyers, bat they purchased sparingly., In other respects the market was cheerful, the general expectation being that the year's business transac tions will b thrice well, and that there will be a good demand for spring goods. There was a large quantity of tweeds sold to-day, both of the commoner and finer qualities. A mode rate business was also done in light meltons, but only very little in pilots and witneys. There is no change in the prices of either wool or goods. LEICESTER, 28th.—The hosiery trade is fully as active as it usually is at this season. In the country districts business is without material change, and the operatives are quite as well employed as they are generally at this ad vanced period of the year. Wools are selling at very high rates, and there is still a fair consumptive demand. The yarn-market is firm, and high rates are realized. i early i the MANettESTEIt, 28th.--A re--- - .m. week in nom yarn aau riutn, and prices advanced about 1 Id per lb. on cop yarns up to 50's on Tuesday, with a fair business. Since Tuesday there has been more or less in crease of activity. with an improvement of fully }d more in price. Shipping yarns have increased ld per lb during the week. Some of the largest agents report the advance of Id to 2d per lb on shipping, and 2d to 3d per lb on home-trade yarns, with heavy engagements for several months for ward. There is no doubt that a great deal of irregularity has prevailed. Some large orders have been waiting to be put in hand for several weeks past, and probably the sud denn2ss of the reaction in prices will account for the discre pancies. The irregularity is very great in all classes of yarns. Manufacturers have advanced their prices somewhat in the proportion of spinners, but they have not succeeded so well with buyers. There has been more business doing all week, but some of the fabrics most in request, such as 71b and 81b 4oz. 39 inch shirtings, are scarce in stock and difficult to meet with in quantity. Shippers wh o would take such goods if available for immediate shipment hesitate to give con tracts at the prices which would now be required to cover the increased cost of cotton and yarn. The stock of East In dian cotton has increased through recent imports to 185,00 bales (while there are still 165,000 at sea), and the total o stock of all kinds is 259,000. A letter from a respectable cotton merchant who has gone from Liverpool to New Or leans, dated Nov. 4, speaks of cotton being sent forward more freely than hitherto from Natchez, Baton Rouge, and the Teche country, and thinks that 5,000 a Beek lcul may at b ed e ' re lied upon. The tone of his letter altogether is ca to give a still more hopeful prospect.

The witnesses examined up to the time of our going to press merely deposed to those facts already known. It was generally expected that the in quiry would be adjourned, in order to allow further time for a minute examination of the manner in which the building was carried on. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. The adjourned November sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before tne Lora illayor Recorder, and Sheriffs. There are 118 prisoners for trial. Thelßecorder, in:charging the Grand Jury, said the num ber of prisoners awaiting trial was not more than usual, considering the time that had elapsed since the adjournment of the court. The cases were all of the ordinary description. There were two charges of child murder, in which the question they would have to deal with was, whether the children were born alive. There was also an inlictment against a person named Shorter, who stood charged with attempting to poison a young woman, and another against a person named Blundell, who was indicted for attempting to drown a boy in the river Thames, but the evidence did not present any peculiarity, and there fore he need not detain them from the commencement of their duties. The grand jury then retired. THE CHARGE OF LIBEL AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. Mr. Poland made an application to the Recorder to allow he removal of this case by certiorari t,o the Court of Queen's Bench. The court granted the application. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST. A TRADESMAN. A respectably dressed man, named Harris, carrying on the business of a tailor at Brentford, was charged with stealing a £5O note, the property of Mr. Abrahams. The facts of the case were somewhat strange. The pro secutor res.ded in the house of the prisoner, and for upwards of 12 months he had in his possession a £5O note, which he kept in a pocket-book locked up in a wardrobe. From time to time trifling articles of wearing apparel were miss- ing from the place, and eventually, two sovs having been stolen, ho obtained a patent lock and put it upon the wardrobe, his £5O being quite safe at this time. Shortly after he found that the £5O note had been taken from the pocket-book, the number of the note which had been entered in the book altered, and a £5 note substituted in its place, On the £5 note the name of " Coles" was written, and also the name of W. Jones, Staines, on the £5O note, both of which, it was believed, were in the handwriting of the prisoner. / The prisoner had some time before the prosecutor discovered his loss asked him to oblige him with a loan, and in a few dais after the prisoner was known to have paid to Messrs. Bull and Wilson, the wholesale woollen drapers, a bill of £36. Witness having deposed to the similarity of the prisoner's handwriting pith that on the notes, - Farmer, a detective in the metropolitan police, said he went into the Bank of England on the Bth of October and obtained the cancelled £5O note produced. He went to the prisoner's shop and Mr. Abrams and Mr. Wyburn being present, he told the prisoner a £5O note had been stolen and that he had a few questions to put to him to which he might answer if he thought proper. In answer to the questions prisoner said he paid Messrs. Bull and Wilson £36 in a£s note, a bill for £6, and the restiin sovereigns. H e denied going to the Bank of England on the.26th of Sep tember. When he was asked where he had been on that day, he said to Hampton, and he had left Waterloo -station at a quarter past one. Mr. Davis, a clerk i n the Bank of England', said the £5O note produced was changed on the 26th of Sept em b er f or a £5 note and 45 sovereig ns.

Our market today was but moderately supplied with foreign stocks. The beasts came to hand in middling con-. dition ; but the quality of the sheep and calves was good The demand ruled steady,, and prices had an upward tendency. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up exhibited a demand when compared, with', several previous weeks. The supply from Ireland and Scotland was moderate for the time of year, and the geneial quality of the stock was by no means fiNt-rate. Some of the beasts from Scotland, however, were in prime condition. Nearly all breeds commanded a steady sale, at an advance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs and at which a good clearance was effected. The best Scots realized 5s 2d per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,000 shorthorns, &c.; from Norfolk, 200 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 170 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was limited as to number, but the quality of most breeds was good. The mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, prices advanced 2d per Sibs. The best Downs and half-breds realized 5s 10(1 per 81bs, without difficulty. ..___ The supply of calves was small, and the veal trade was firm, at 2d per Bibs more money. The top figure was 4s 10d per 81b5. There was an improved inquiry for pigs, at slightly enhanced rates. s. d. s. d.

TILE WILD SPORTS or TILE EAST.—Anna Lyons, aged 26, 7, Russell-court, Blue Anchor-yard, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Mary Monroe, an elderly woman, in the same place, who came into court with her head bandaged and in a very wea kl y condition from the loss of blood. It appeared there was a quarrel between the two women, who dwelt in an Irish colony, where rows have been very frequent and plenty of wounds have been inflicted by the people upon each other. In the course of the scrimmage, as it was called, the prisoner struck the prosecutrix several times on the head and face with a stone and rendered her insensible. Mr. John Domley, surgeon, High-street, Whitechapel, said he had dressed the wounds of the prosecutrix. She lot a largo quantity of blood. There was a triangular shaped wound on the forehead penetrating to the bone, and a second wound near it not a serious one. There were also contusions on the face. Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoter for trial. Mary Sullivan was charged with assaulting and wound- ing Mary Toomey. The parties live in another Irish colony, Garden-curt, Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, where there have been many savage affrays. The magistrates have either punished the parties engaged in these encounters severely, or committed them for trial; but without discouraging the quarrelsome disposition of the i n habitants. The parties, Sullivan and T o omey, two strapping Irishwomen, quarrelled and fought. Mrs. Toomey got the worst of it ; but this was not all. The prisoner, elated with the victory over a vanquished opponent, obtained an earthenware jug, and struck Mrs. Toomey a tremendous blow on the head with it. She re ceived a severe wound, and was carried to the London Hos pital. She now appeared with the head-dress of t he Hos - p i ta l—b a ndages with the name of that valuable institution painted in large capitals thereon. The prisoner, in defence, said that Mrs. Toomey took up a knife and threatened to stab her; and produced a very large knife without a handle, of which Howland, an officer of the Court, No. 89 H, took possession. Mr. Woolrych believed some provocation had been given. There was, however, no doubt a brutal assault had been committed. He sentenced the prisoner to six months im prisonment and hard labour. LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—HAUXLEY,NORTHITMBER LAND, Saturday Night.--The schooner Theophilus, of and for Aberdeen, coal laden, went upon the Bond icai Busk Rock the night before last. The wind at the time was blowing strong, and there was a heavy sea, the weather dull and foggy. Some fishing cobles attempted to reach the vessel but failed; thereupon the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was launched and succeeded in bringing ashore the schooner's crew of five men in safety. This valuable lifeboat had on previous occasions rescued the following shipwrecked crews:—Brig Sophie, of Oporto, 11 men ; schooner Georgians, of Inverness, 5 ; schooner Susan and Isabella, of Dundee, 5; schooner Prospect, of Berwick, 6 ; schooner Little Aggie, of Berwick, 4; and schooner Theo philus, of Aberdeen, s—total lives saved, 36.

The late Lord de Saumarez s residence, Mont pellier Lodge, Cheltenham, was offered for sale by auction oa Itlonday, but found no purchaser, and was bought in at £3,100. The first bid was £1,500, from which a succession of advances carried the price up to £3,000, at wh i c h point competition ceased, and the vendors exercised their right of bidding by advancing another hundred, upon • which no further bid was made, and the property was con sr.luently declared still for sale by private contract. and other goods. Considerable Australian orders are is hand for sheep shears and gen er al goods. The American demand for steel, saws, files, and I mtlery is still considerable. The demand for iron and steel is: ,so active that a further ad vance of price is anticipated. STOKE-UPON-TRENT, 28th.—.1k11 makers of finished iron in the North Staffordshire distri et have as many orders on hand as they can execute, whett r for plates, angles , .or ge neral merchant bars. In pigs pmducers find some difficulty in obtaining an advance propor ti onate to the improvement in the price of finished iron, but 'it is clear that unless they can do this, or something close.ty approaching to it, they will decline to sell for the present. The price of coal for the pottery manufacture have advaraced, and the great revival which has taken place in that branch of trade has not only led to a brisk demand by produclers, but also for domes'ic purposes.

(From Le Follet.) Amongst the materials in favour this winter, plush wil decidedly hold a high place; not the old fashioned but one with a shorter pile. It is used for bonnets and also for dresses, so that any one may have a whole toilette to match. We do not, however, advise our readers to adopt this fashion, for the only result arrived at is one of a mo notonous uuiformity, producing anything but an elegant effect. Plush dresses are intended for visiting toilettes ; for ehis purpose also velvet, moire antique, and even satin are - - - - - . - worn. In pale shades they are most suitable for dinner or soiree dress. They should be low-bodied, either with or without a fichu or veste of lace. The colours preferred for day are green and blue plaid, violet, and all shades of brown. It is no doubt true that plaid will soon become very com- mon, being made in such cheap materials that some of the most fastidious ladies of fashion already discard it, but it is none the less a fact that at present it is extremely in vogue. Mexico blue and green are also worn, but not much. Small checks are generally preferred for plaid. There aro some most elegant plaid plushes used for both dresses and mantles. Other patterns which meet with success are, a trefoil teams of bows or flounces of lace on a light ground. Poplin, plain, plaid, or stripped, is the at-home dress for the season. The Pompadour silks are quite the thing for evening dress. Stripes, alternately silk and satin, some times wide, sometimes narrow, but always sprinkled over with small flowers, forming either wreaths or bouquets, are those most approved of. These are not only made in pale shades; but, while we may find the blue or pink suitable for young ladies, we can also find some very handsome grenat, green or violet, with white flowers, only admissible for older ladies.
