GERMANY. Advices have been received from Cassel of the 13t. In consequence of the late resolutions in Frankfort and Wilhelinsbad, troops are marching from the gar risons of Hessen to occupy Cassel and to assist in enforcing the energetic measures by which the Elec tor proposes to strengthen his authority. Oa the evening of the 29 th ult. a battalion of foot arrived at Cassel, where they were received by large crowds of people, who cheered the soldiers, and accompanied them to their barracks. It is stated that the attitude of the courts of justice and of the inhabitants of Cassel will not be changed by any military measures which the Elector may think proper to take; and that, as far as the troops are concerned, the resolution of the citizms is not likely to be submitted to too severe a trial. Cassel continued tranquil. HOW THEY MAKE VITRIOL IN GL ASGOW. There is one perpetual motion in Glasgow. On all days of the year, and at all hours of the day or of the night, from almost the highest ground in the city— and certainly from the highest point that brick and mortar have reached—a volume of dark black smoke issues, sometimes to be rapidly thrown away by the rough wind, sometimes, in calm nights and mornings, rising almost perpendicularly far up into the skies, which it seems to pierce and link to the earth ; but, in all its vicissitudes of form and shape, acting like a symbol or type of the town, telegraphing its cha racter to the farthest spot where any part of it is visible. This wreath of smoke is the first and the last symptom of Glasgow that the traveller sees. The St. Rollox chimney, from which it is projected, is the highest building in the city, and the highest of its kind in the world. Its height is 445 feet from the foun dation, 435 feet from the sur face of the earth, and, from the position, it must be nearly 600 feet above the level of the sea. Its diameter at the surface of the earth is 40 feet, but it tapers upwards until, at the top, the breadth is reduced to 14 feet. This is the mea surement within the walls ; and for nearly 200 feet upwards the building is double. One chimney is built round another, until the fabric reaches nearly the height which we have mentioned. Three large flues, we believe 12 feet in diameter, are run through the works, and carry into the chimney all the tainted air and smoke, which it was built for the purpose of discharging at a height that would neutralize the complaints made against the chemical works as a . nuisance in the atmosphere. The erection occupied the greater part of two sum mers, and was completed at a cost of 12,000?. At a distance this noble stalk appears too taper and thin for its immense size. One is apt to expect it to be blown down in a heavy storm ; but in reality it pos sesses great strength and the elements of stability. It covers a considerable area, and has been so girt together that, exposed as it is to all the blasts, it may continue to form for many years, what it now is, one of the most picturesque objects in the city or neighbourhood. This chimney forms the drain of all the contaminated air from the largest chemical works is this country ; and, we understand, the most extensive in the world. They were com menced, we believe, in 1791 or 1792, on a compara tively small scale. They now comprehend eleven acres within the walls, and nine acres are occupied by . sub sidiary works in the immediate vicinity. Tne St. Rollox Works form, therefore, a vast laboratory, covering twenty acres of land. Seven hundred meu are employed in the works, on an average. Two thousand four hundred tons of coals are consumed weekly, partly purchased, and partly from the pits of the company. The consumption of Irish lime is nearly two hundred and fifty tons weekly ; and of Liverpool salt nearly two hundred tons are used in the same time. The chief foreign products employed in the works are sulphur, tallow, rosin, cocoa nut oil and palm oil. The quantity used of each of the three first is extremely large ; but of the African oils a comparatively small amount is re quired. The principal commercial products of the werks are " vitriol," crystallised soda, soda ash, bleaching powder, and soap. The production of vitro' is one of the first of the processes. Sulphur forms -necessarily the first and chief ingredient. The sulphur le placed in small fur naces, along with nitrate of soda, in the proportion of 100 of the former to 1 of the litter. There are nearly one hundred of these furnaces in the works, which communicate with six sass of chambers con- sisting of six separate chambers communicating with each other in each set. Each chamber is formed of sheet lead, on wooden pillars, and measures 70 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 13 feet high. A. communi cation is farmed between the several formed between the several furnaces attached to each set of chambers. By this communication, or flue, the sulphuric acid gas is conveyed into the chambers. Another set of furnaces keep three steam boilers in constant employment, and their pipes also communicate with the vitriol chambers. The boilers continually form steam for no other purpose than to bring it into contact with the sul phurous acid gas. The chambers, formed at a great expense, are erected to be the scene of a per petual contest between gas and steam. Toe meet ing of the waters may give a greater shock, without producing more singular results, than the coalition of the contending parties in these leaden castles. The steam succeeds in condeming the sulphurous acid gas, and by whatever other atmospheric aid it obtains, converting what would certainly be a very trouble some nuisance into one of the must powerful liquids that we possess. The condensation or result is sulphuric acid, which is deposited in the chambers in strength of 120 or thereby. The sul phuric acid is run off the chambers daily by pipes into lead receivers, placed in iron cases above a fur nace, and it evapurtes in them to from 140 to 150. Care is taken never to allow it to rise above the strength last denoted, because then it might melt the lead, or destroy the receivers, from which it is run into two platina stills. Tne weight of the stills, with the heads, was stated by one of the parties in charge to be 771 be. each. These stills are necessarily very expensivein struments, became platina is more valuable than sil ver, standing, indeed, half-way between it and gold. At the price per ounce at which these stills were valued by our informant, the cost of each would be 1,900/.—strictly, 1,9711. 4s. The passage through the platina stills is the last of the processes, and the result is marketable ritriol of 168 to 169. The liquid is then filled into bottles, containing generally from 12 to 13 gallons, and weighing 160 to 1931b5. In some instances smaller bottle; are used ; brit they generally weigh from 111 be. to nibs. each. The bottles are previou,ly packed with straw in a hamper for each, and great care is necessary in their management. They are often conveyed a great distance, pass through rough usage, and seldom fail in their trust. When that does happen, the consequences are not favourable to any substance that may come into contact with their contents, than which we have few more potent de structives. Each bottle is furnished with a stopper, which is closely covered over, and the only leakage that can occur must result from a catastrophe to the errire vessel. The manufacture of sulphuric acid does not appear to materially affect the health and strength of the men employed in the process. The atmosphere must be slightly charged with sulphuric gas, and the taint is quite perceptible to a stranger ; but the workmen seemed to suffer, in that department, no inconveni• ence. Other processes are very different and require considerable precautions. One old man, James 11PEwen, told us that he had been engaged for forty-three years amongst vitriol. He came to the works in 1807, on the birthday of old George 111., that is to say, on the 4th June, and he is therefore now running his forty-fourth year in the employment of the company. He offers fair to stand out fifty years, or probably go beyond them, for he is still a hale, healthy strong man, pick ing up his side of a 2 cwt. bottle in his hand, without any apparent effort, each four or five minutes. He states that he runs one of the plstina stills twelve times each day. He super intends the cooling down of the liquid, fills the botdes, and works in an atmosphere formed in some measure by the exhalations from the vitriol receivers, where the liquid is evaporating. This untameable vitriol is managed is his hands like soft spring water. He fills for ever at his bottles as if be were dealing with the contents of Aaron's Well, or the gatherings o f a gravitation company ; and his commodity is as clear and limpid as if it sprung up direct to his bands through the pores of a thousand feet of granite, like the springs of a High land mountain. He proves that to some consti tutions the evaporation of sulphuric acid is not op posed to vitality. Every man has some distinction, and James M'Ewen has passed more vitriol through his hands than any ether living man. Still he takes with and likes his business; and few employers can produce a man who has been in their employment without a break for 43 years and four months, and who has never been in that long period absent from his duties from illness except once for a short period, and in consequence of an accident.—Daily Mail. MUNIFICENT CHARITY. - Forty-five thousand pounds, in money and land, have been assigned ove r t o trus tees by Miss Howard, of York-place, for the following uses :—To erect twenty-one houses on her property at Pinner, near Harrow, in the form of a crescent, the centre house for the trustees, the other twenty houses for the use of twenty widows, who are to occupy them tree of rent and taxes, and also to receive 501. a year clear of all deductions. The widows of naval men to have the preference, then those of military men, and, lastly, those of clergymen. None but persons of good character to be selected, to be chosen or dis missed for misconduct by the trustees. The deed is now en rolled in Chancery, and approved of by the Lord Chancellor.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—On the evening of October 1, at Eih, six miles west of Durham, an auroral arch was observed. The aurora borealis had been visible soon after sunset, and at Bh. 45m. mean Greenwich time, the sky near the horizon from N.W. to N.E. was so bright as to cast a visible shadow. Beams of white light streamed upwards beyoLd the zenith, but not so as to form a corona. This appearance faded before 9h. At about 9h. 10m. an auroral arch was suddenly formed. It had a uniform breadth of about 3 deg., and extended distinctly and completely from the eastern to the western horizon. Its light was a clear pure white, tolerably uniform, but slightly varying, pulses appearing to traverse from west to east like the waving of a banner by the wind. The course of the arch could be accurately traced among the stars, which shone brilliantly. At 9h. 12m. the arch covered in the east Aldebaran and the Pleiades, passed about 6 deg. northward of Alphevat (a Andromeda!), across the line of stars in Sagitta, and descended in the west through the middle of Ophiuchus. Its highest point eastward of south had in the middle of its breadth an elevation of about 66 deg. At that ticn?, consequently, the arch formed nearly a great circle, inclined to the horizon at about 66 deg. and cutting it at two points, about 20 deg. north of east and south of west. This is, as usual, nearly at right angles to the magnetic meridian. At 9h. 22m. the lower eastern end had disappeared and the arch was sensibly drifting towards the south. Its southern edge just reached y Aquilx, and passed to the northward of the lozenge formed by the stars in Delphinus. At 9h. 23m. the direction remained the same, and the light extended just as far as a Andromeda. At 9h. 24m. it scarcely reached p Pegasi, passed torough y Aquilte, was still north of Delphinus, but so as to include the lozenge within the limits of the arch. At 9h. 25m. it extenced to Aquila, but was rapidly fading ; and at 9h. 27m. 30s. it was only just visible as a faint beam of light in the south-west. The lower western extremity remained sensibly in the same posi tion throughout. The wind was blowing strong from the W.N.W. ; external thermometer, 47 deg. ; internal, 57 deg. ; barometer, 28.95 inches, equivalent to 29.71 inches at the level of the sea, the height of the place of ob servation hieing 700 feet ; lat. 54 deg. 47 min. 26 sec. ; long. W., 6 min. 44 sec. I should be glad to receive particulars of observa tions of the arch made in other places. Your obedient servant, TEMPLE CHEVALLIER. El Parsonage, near Durham, Oct. 2. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, lB5O. THE FRIMLEY MURDER. For the crime of murder, as it ordinarily shows itself in this country, we are seldom called upon to exhibit other feelings than those of horror at the deed, and disgust at the vices of which it seemed the mon strous but natural offspring. The low intrigues of the Mannings and their victim, and the besotted lives of 'others, were so unlikely, except by the interposition of a miracle, to end well, that we find nothing to bestow our sympathy upon—we can only lament that human nature should become so brutalized as to revel in human slaughter, or design it through days and weeks of malignant deliberation. But it does happen now and then that our horror at one aspect of the tragedy finds relief—though in some sort augmentation, too — in contemplating the other. We have not to turn from the murderer to a victim who awakens alnioat equal feelings of horror at the unprepared death of a drunkard or a paramour. There is some thing consolatory for the miad to rest upon. The victim has fallen before nature's hour, indeed, but not wholly unanointed. He has lived well through the trials of many years, or was working his way onward to a venerated age. There are children to lament him ; affectionate friends and neighbours ; dependents upheld by his bounty; a train of suffer ing poor to add their tribute of grief, which, even if to some extent selfish, bears the strongest testimony to the worth of the departed. There is brightness in ' all this, not unmixed with awe, but perhaps the brighter on that account. The death of a good man is a subject for edifying thought at all times ; but when he dies by violence his virtues become hallowed by the contrast with his end. The Frimley murder is exactly such a case. We have to lament the untimely death of a man discharg ing the responsible duties of a minister of the Church of England, and surrounded by all the respect and affection which Character and station might command. He had just loosed' his heart to delight over the pro gress of his children, who came to spend a few days by their father's fireside ; to report their studies ; to draw inspiration from his example and the precepts of his love and anxiety. One can imagine the homely " Good night " which separated parents and chil dren for a brief space only, as they thought, to meet and renew t happy intercourse of their relationship. Bur even under that roof then) was nothing so venerable as to awe the thief, or paralyze him ere be committed the deed which made him also a murderer. The sacred functions of its tenant were forgotten in the plunder of his com parative wealth. In the dead hour of night his bed chamber was visited. He started from sleep, roused by a glare of light ; and, unsuspicious of evil, set the intrusion down to some playful experiment of his sons, till the robber's pistol was at his breast. Then came a struggle, fearful and fatal. And if, while recording the tragedy that followed, we may dare to speak of human courage, we would say 'one word for that devoted woman who, with the beautiful instincts of her sex, threw heart and life into the etiOrt to save her husband. Unarmed and unassisted—except, perhaps, by the terror which seized the villains, who counted upon meeting as g r ea t cowards as themselves—they drove the assassins trom the house ; but not before a fatal wound had been inflicted. We write under the anxiety and horror which by this time has universally impressed the country. But an article in a morning contemporary places this mur der in a light which, for practical purposes, is invalu able. For some months a gang of burglars has infested the country in the neighbourhood ofFrienley. We hear now of the acuteness which characterizes the local police ; but we hear of it, unfortunately, when too late. A little earlier exertion of this faculty might have spared us the sorrow of adding this new tragedy to the list of those horrors which terrify us, when we consider how near an approach, eveu in this world, it is possible for men of uncontrolled pas sions to make to the malignity of demons.—From the Lady's Newspaper. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 4.) SUG'ia.—To-dsy a f sir business was transacted in the West India Sugar market, and the rates obtained are fully equal to those current previously fur every de ,criptiou. The purchases are 465 hhds, &e.. including the public sales, which went at st►lf rates; 58 tihds crystalized D,lnerara realized for fine 493 to 49s 61, mid and good 46s 6 f to 471, brown 42s 6d; 115 hhds Barbadoes want at the full value, fine yellow 423 to 435, low to good 37s 6d to. 41s, and crystalized 42s 6d to 43s 6d. The market tor West India closed with much firmness, and the quantity on offer is yet limited. For the week opera tons are 1,577 hhds and tres. REFINED.—To-day the home trade demand is more active for Refined Sugar, and prices are yet on the ad. vance for ord good, and it is difficult to purchase brown grocery Lumps under 518 6d. For Crushed Sugar there is yet a firm marker, and demand does not diminish.. MAIIIIITIUS.—To-day there was no public sale of Mauritius Sugar, but privately some parcels were sold at full rates. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with ready buyers, and at public sale 4,780 bags sold washed' a s k t e iff d. rates; Benares mid white realised 419 6 d , damp and 40$ 6d to 41s, fin eg rainy yellow 453 6d to 495, good 44s to 45s 6d, mid 40 s 6d t o 42 s 6 . 1, Mauritius 40, 6d t o 43 3, m id fitonegaonodd superior t r o i or 40s, yellow ord like to 37s 6d, fine brown ass, yellow damp and washed 37s to 41s, good free fuxey brown 33s to 345. Of Singapore 45 bags realized 36s for fine brown rather grainy. Of Madras several parcels were disposed of at previous rates. FoREIGN.—Today there was not much passing in the Foreign Sugar market, but holders would not sell ex cept at high rates. None is offered at auction. The private sales for the week are only 2,000 ,chests Savan nah at 238 to 25s 3d for yellow, and a cargo brown Bahia, the price of which did not transpire. Mor..Assxs.—Few transactions have taken place this week, but as the stock does not increase holders require previous terms of 13s 6d to 16s for low to fine West India; Ils 6d.to Its 6d for Bengal and Mauritius; and 15s to 15s 6(1 per cwt for fine Porto Rico. • Cocoa.—There has again been no public sale of Bri tish Plantation, and the market looks firm with a good home trade demand. For Red Trinidad rates rule at 473 to 525, grey 453 to 475, and Grenada from 43s to 48s per cwt. Of foreign several orders nave been completed, and holders display' firmness; Guayaquil rea'izes 32s to 435, Bahia and Para 25s 108. At auction 115 bgs Bahia were, however, taken in at 30s for good red. The stock is yet less than at this time last year. _ COPFEE.—This afternoon the Coffee market presented a dull aspect, and prices are on the decline for both home trade and export sorts, although there is a less quantity on offer; the rates taken privately were 52a to 53s for Native Ceylon; at a public sale of 50 casks 60 bags Plantation a small part only sold at 63s to 70a for mid and good, other sorts 54s to 58s. TF.A.—To-day a public sale of Tea went off briskly, Knd of 2,231 packages offered 1,480 sold. Good and fine Scented Orange Pekoe went at is 5 d to is 93, being ld nigher; other sorts realised stiff rates; Ilyson fair 2s; Youcr , Hyson ord good is 10J; Gunpowder, mid to gOO% 2s 01c1 to 2s Id. RlCK.—Holders of East India are reluctant sellers at lover rates, and refrained from submitting any to public sale this week. Privately, however, transactions have been upon a small scale for shipping and home trade purposes ; there is also no speculation going on. Fur good and fine white Bengal the value is lls to 12?, low end mid lOs to 10s 93, broken 9s 61 t.) 9i 9d; Madras pinky white so to So 6d, cargo and pearl barley 8s . 6d to 9s, and Arracan 8s 9d to 9s p( r cwt, but the market is not expected to continue long in a quiet position. Clean Patna is much wanted, and realised 12s to 18s, broken lOs 6d lls 6d. In Ca rolina sales are to a fair extent at 22s to 28s for town dressed, and 19s to 20s for American. For Sago the market is quiet, and at auction 140 chests mid small pearl were taken in at 265. Sago Flour has been operated in with caution at 16s 6d to 17s 64 per cwt, and Tapioca at lid to 50 per lb. Of Arrowroot supplie4 are on the de crease; at auction little has been offered this week, and privately a fair business bits been done at stiff rates. To-day at auction 17_pkgs Bermuda Arrowroot taken in at is 6d, 44 ditto St. Vincent. 6d to Sid, and 100 sacks Farina 17s. SPICES.—The home trade demand for Ginger con tinues good, and the rates obtained are equal to last week. At auction 11 1 cases, and 27 bags Cochin realised 68s to 963 for mid to good; 174 cks Jamaica fine 71 to 71 21 6d, common to good 31 153 to 64 but 83 bags African were taken in at 341 fur small. Export sorts are rather more in request, and rates are firmer. At auction 493 Bengal sold at 18s to 18s 6d for mid rough. Although the market has been much better supplied with Pimento, yet previous rates are generally sustained, there having been a good demand. At auction 989 bags sold; mid and good 6id to 6i3, a few lots low and good ord 5,14 to 611, 1 lot good 6 , 1 d. Cloves not cheaper, but operations are upon a limited scale privately, and at auction a part only of 150 bags 13 cases were sold, Pe nang at Is id to is 3d, Bourbon and Zanzibar 71d. For Cassis Lignea prices continue high and rule at 97s to 108 s, as there is still a scanty supply, and few in quiries have prevailed. Cassia Buds are higher, and 73 cases, at auction, realised 194 s to 1083 for good fresh. For Cinnamon there are still few buyers. Nutmegs in good demand, and prices continue to advance, as the supply is yet limited; brown realized 2s 8d to 3s 6d, su perior 3s 83 to 4s, and fair to fine limed 2s 8d to 3a per lb. Of Mace some parcels have been sold at 2s 4d to 3s 84, and fine at 2a 9d to 3a. None has again been offered at auction. Black Pepper has been in exten sive request, chiefly on speculation. The value here of Malabar is 3id to 4d, and clean Sumatra 3id to 344. At auction 1,290 bags 210 robins in part sold at aid to 4d for Malabar of good quality. White has been operated in with greater freedom at 6d to 9d for low to fine quality. In Pod Pepper there is more doing at high rates. To-day at auction 100 bags Pimento were sold, mid at 6id to 6id, good ord 61d; 100 pkts Bengal Gin ger were withdrawn. COCRINEAL.—A material increase has taken place in the demand this week, and there is an advance of id for inferior, and 23 per lb for better descriptions. At auc tion 534 bgs Honduras were nearly all sold; silveri ord to mid realized 3s 7d to 3s 103, good to fine 35 lld to 4a 4d, black, common 31 8d to 4s, mid to good 4s 2d to 4s I Id, fine 5s to 5s 24; 51 bgs Teneriffe Silvers 3s 8d to 3s 10d, and Black 4s 2d to 4s 7d per lb. INDIGO —A good demand from all parties; prices ad vancing, and 84 to 103 above last sale for Bengal, and 64 to 7d for Madras. The sale next Tuesday comprises 17,069 chests. Spanish is inquired for, and prices are advancing; for auction 300 aerons are declared. The indigo sales are expected to go off at higher-prices. SPIRITS.—For East India Rum the rates are still Is 3d to is 3d proof, still few buyers are suet with. Only small sales have been made in Leeward Island, at Is 4id to is 54 proof, and fine brown at Is sid. Of Demerara operations confined to 100 puns at 2s Id to 2s 3d for 34 to 37 per cent. overproof. Holders of Jamaica are willing to take lower terms, at the same time shippers and home dealers operated with much caution; the value of plain and mid quality 30 to 33 • per cent over proof is 2s 6d to 2s 94, good mid and good 34 to 38 over proof 2s 10d to 3a 4d, and fine sorts 3s 64 to 4s 63. In Brandy there is still a good deal doing, and the market has a firm appear ance, sales of Cognac host brands cf the vintage of 1847 made at 5s 2d to 5s 4d, 1848 ditto 4s 94 to 4s lld, 1849 ditto 4s 3d to 4s 10d, and interior aorta 3s to 4s 6d. In Geneva or British made Spirit there is no variation. TALLOW.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow went with more spirit, 587 casks Sydney at 35s 6d to Hs 91, 247 pkgs South American 36s to 38s 3d, 11 cks East India 38s 31, 152 cks old Petersburgh 37s 31, 24 cks Portugal 37s to 38s per cat. OlLS.—This afternoon at public sale 63 tuns Southern Oil sold at 341 10s to 351 103 ; 290 pkgs Cocoa Nut Oil taken in, Ceylon 301 104, and Cochin 321.

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. Dated the 3d day of October, 18; POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M A HOUSE.NSION- Isaac Williams was brought before Alderman Finnis, charged upon suspicion of having been concerned with Denham, who was examined on Wednesday last, in the desperate assault and robbery committed upon Mr. Cureton, of Alderegate-street, on the 20th of September. There was a second charge against the prisoner. George Trew, of the City police, said—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, in consequence of informa tion which I received, I went, accompanied by Ilaydon, to the house of the prisoner, in a street in Hoxton Okl.town, and saw the prisoner there. I told him I came to apprehend him on suspicion of being concerned, with , two other persons, in attacking and robbing Mr. Cureton, of Alderagate-street, o n Friday, the 20th of September. He said, " I know nothing about it. I was at the Britannia Theatre that evening with.my wife." I have since seen Mr. Cureton and several others who have seen the pri soner since his apprehension, and they know nothing of him. I have a further charge against the prisoner of having in his possession several articles of which he was not able to give a satisfactory account. I searched the place, and found a plated silver teapot, two gold mourning rings, one of which had engraved on the inside the name, " , Robert Smith, 21st February, 1825," and on the outside, in gold letters, the words, "In memory of." A watch, having no name but the chain, a go ld k ey, number 5,580, two half a dozen of wnitehandled airs of earrings, a gold Albert found Th e witness a h l e r life e produced . pre sery e r. n a instrument, which knives and f or k s , and ch i sels, g i m bl ets , an d ot h er h things.

I carry it to walk with. Trew—The prisoner is known to a .metropolitan sergeant, who is here. Sergeant Dubost, of the N division of the metro politan force, said on the 12th of December, 1843, the prisoner was in my custody upon the charge of stealing eight farthings from a till in a shop, and was transported for seven years. He was at that time 21 years of age. The prisoner—That's right. I don't deny it. I was, when a very young man, unfortunately, convicted of the offence. I was misled then ; but I have since that time acted in a very different manner, and I was, in consequence of my good conduct, sent to the coast of Spain instead of the usual place, and was dis charged at the end of six years. In Spain I fell in with a woman who had some property, and I returned home determined to lead a proper life. I have done so, I assure your Lordship ; and I have been living industriou* since my return. I bought all those things, as I can prove, from the parties of whom I purchased them. Trew said the prisoner stated, upon being appre hended, that he had bought the teapot in Petticoat lane. Alderman Forus—lt can be of no prejudice ,to you to be remanded for a few days, so that you may be able to satisfy me that you became possessed of these things in an honest way. The prisoner—l can send to the parties in the country from whom I made several of the, purchases, and show that they were all honestly paid for. I have never done wrong since I returned to my native country. Alderman FINN'S then discharged the prisoner as to the accusation ,of having been concerned in the attack upon, and robbery of Mr. Cureton, but re manded him upon the statement of the officer, that there was a possibility that evidence could be speedily brought forward with respect to the goods found on his premises. GUILDHALL, Anne Ed w i ns , hi s w if e , and James Clarke, wer e George Ed w i ns , alias Sheffield Beater, compositor, placed at the bar before Alderman Cnallis, charged with loitering about St. Paul's churchyard and Cheap side, with intent to commit felony. Police-constable, 21, stated that he was on duty in Cheapside about a quarter to ten o'clock on Thursday night, when he saw the prisoners near Bow-church, loitering about in a very suspicious manner. Know ing two of the prisoners as the associates of thieves, he continued !watc hi ng their movements. Sh ort l y after he saw th e f ema l e prisoner stop a gentleman at the corner of Bow-churchyard, and take him with her to the back of the church. 110, however, repulsed all attempts at familiarity on her part, and left her very abruptly. She stopped several parties afterwards, but invariably selected old and apparently infirm gentle men as being more likely to fall an easy prey to her dishonest intentions. During the intervals between the stopping of the various gentlemen, both the male prisoners communicated with the female prisoner. Being - aware that a great many robberies had been committed lately un ier very similar circumstances, be took all three of the parties into custody on sus- I picion. He bad had Edwins and hii wife in custody on a similar charge about three years ago, when they were sentenced to two months imprisonment. Brett, 13, corroborated witness's statement, and added further, that he had been watching the move ments of the prisoners for some time previous, and lukd seen Edwins pus iing his wife towards gentlemen as they were passing. From a statement made by the prisoner Clarke, it appeared that he was in employ at a very good amount of wages, and had been out rather late on the evening in question, looking at a fire that occurred on the other side of the water. Alderman CHALLIS said the evidence was not of a sufficiently criminating nature against Clarke, and he would therefore discharge him. With regard to the other two; he would remand them to ascertain more about their general character during the time since they were last in custody. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A young man named Cooper was brought up for final examination, charged with having uttered several forged betting-tickets, with intent to defraud the parties who advanced money upon them. Mr. Clifford, landlord of the Three Doves public - house, Barwick-street, said on the 26th of May the prisoner came into his house, and after some conver sation about the Derby, induced him to lend him 51. on the security of what purported to be a betting ticket, issued by a betting man named Davis, at Searle's public-house, Salisbury-street, Strand. Wit ness having his suspicions excited soon after the pri soner left the house, he went to Searle's, and was told the ticket was a forgery. A niece of Mr. Searle's said she formerly attended to betting matters for Mr. Davis, who at that time kept a betting-book at the house. The writing en the ticket was not in her handwriting. Mr. Wontner said he was prepared to show a guilty knowledge on the part of the prisoner that the ticket was forged, by bringing forward evidence to prove that this was not the only transaction of the same kind in which the prisoner had been engaged. Mr. Davis, for the prisoner, cross-examined Mr. Clifford, with the view to show that the Si. had been parted with in the way of a bet. Mr. Clifford ad mitted that a bet of Si. had been made, but repeated he had lent the 51. on the faith of the ticket proffered to him being a genuine betting ticket. Mr. 'William Davis, of Swinton-street, Gray's Inn road, said he was in independent circumstances. He betted on horse-races, kept a betting-book, and when he made bets he gave a card, but not in the form of the ticket now produced. The ticket was a forgery. On cross-examination, witness said, in the early part of the year, all the family of the Searles had au thority to issue tickets in his absence. Mr. Searle, the landlord, was called, and he said the ticket was not issued by him nor by any one of his family. Mr. Arthur Reveck, landlord of the Shakspere's Head, Little Russell-street, said in April last the pri soner called on him, and after making a bet of 21., left him a ticket as security for the 2/., which witness paid him at the time. The ticket was pronounced a forgery. Mr. Davis said he could not swear that the ticket had not been issued on his account. Could only say he had no betting-book for that race at the Windsor Castle public-house, from whence the ticket purported to be issued, at the time the race was run. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully committed. LAMBETH. Henry Taylor, Henry Toplis, and Jane Conville, were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, for further examination, on a charge of being concerned in an extensive robbery at the dwelling-house of Mr. George Stiff, pro prietor cf the Weekly Time s an d London J ourna l, in Streatbam•place, Brixton. Mr. Parry, the barrister, attended to prosecute, and Mr. G ames appeared on behalf of Taylor and Toplis. From the statement of Mr. Parry it appeared that the robbery had been craftily and cunningly con trived, and that property, consisting of gold and silver plate, and a gold box, amounting to over 1001., were carried away. It seemed that the prosecutor (Mr. Stiff) has a printing establishment close to his country residence, at which the London Journal is composed and printed, and that at this establishment the pri soner Taylor and Toplis had been engaged as com positors but a fortnight before the robbery. Topic had been discharged. On the evening of Tuesday week a young man knocked at the front door, and upon its being answered, and told that it was the residence of Mr. Stiff, he said that a serious acci dent had occurred at Mr. Stiff's shop in the Strand; that a heavy weight had fallen on the young woman there, and that her sister, if she wished to find her alive, must hasten there as fast as she could. Fanny Ploughman, the house keeper of Mr. Stiff, and the person thus addressed, believing the young man's representation, and having no person in the house at the time, locked all the doors carefully, and by the aid of a cab got to the Strand as quickly as possible. Oa entering her mas ter's publishing establishment, she saw her sister, and was satisfied that she had been hoaxed, hut on her re turn to Brixton she discovered that, during her ab sence, the house had been entered by thieves, all the rooms ransacked, and about 201. in gold and silver, a gold watch, several articles of plate, and a gold snuffbox carried away. Suspicion was attached to the male prisoner, from Taylor having been identified as one of three persons who were seen in front of Mr. Stiff's house about the time of the robbery, and his companion Toplis also strongly resembling one of them. A stronger suspicion attached to Taylor from his telling a fellow-workman, some time before the robbery, that it was his intention to plant Costello (a discharged compositor) and others in the house of his master. It was further proved that Taylor, on the Monday after the robbery, had sent a lad in the em ploy of Arr. Stiff, to post a letter, addressed to Cos tello, at his lodgings in Parker -street, Drury-lane, though on the same d a y h e denied all know l e d ge as to the place of residence of Costello. The only sus picion attached to the female is that of her living with Costello, and _a print belonging to Mr. Stiff having been found at her lod g i ngs. On the part of T op li s, Mr. Games called a respect able-looking fem a l e named Blackmore and her daughter, both of wh om swore positively t h at on t h e evening of the robbery that person bad been in their presence in the South wark-bridge -road, from 5 to 7 o'clock. Witnesses were also called to prove an'alibi on the part of Taylor, but their testimony was not so satis factory, as the place he was alleged to be at was in Mr. Stitl' s premises. Mr. games, upon the st rength of t h e evidence the immediate vicinity o f pro duced, urged the perfect innocence of both of his clients, and requested their immediate discharge. Mr. Parry, on the contrary, urged a further re mend, on the assertion of Inspector Emrnerson and the of f icers engaged with him in the inquiry, that they were in expectation of much stronger evi dencea future day.

EXTRAWIDIAVARY SEIZURE of STOLEN the most valuable PLATE and JEWELLERY in the CITY. sive business in A very remarkable seizure of stolen property of description was effected yesterday by the officers of the Detective Police Force, on the Catholic clergyman premises of a gold and silver refiner, hitherto having t h e heart of the city of London. Liverpool, a high character in the trade, and carrying on extent named Richards, of Bootle, near Within the past few days a robbery of plate to a hands very large amount from the residence of a Roman Wednesday has been reported to the authorities at Scotland-,yard, who, on being made acquainted with the circumstances, at once placed the matter in the d si v a e ilver premises refine r o! 0 f M 5 r 3 . Shaw, three active officers of the detective force, for of Inspector Lund and Sergeants Whicher and investigation. The result of the inquiries made by Lund at once directed his these officers was a visit on their part, about noon on brother officers to seize Thom as and Charllaesst'Sitroreltl Upon entering the shop Mr. 54 1 Barbican. two large packages which were lying upon the coun ,begoeldxtaenn ter, and at the same moment, addressing Mr. Sirrell, he inquired whether he had received a letter from Liverpool that morning. Mr. Sirrell replied that he had, and at once handed a letter over to Mr. Lund for hi s i nspection. After glancing at its contents, Mr. Lund told Mr. Sirrell that it was his unpleasant duty to inform him that he must consider himself in custody on suspicion of receiving stolen goods. The two packages referred to were then o p ened, and their contents found to consist of the produce of two robberies recently effected in the neighbourhood of Liverpool, one of them being that of Mr. Richards, of Bootle. Mr. Lund having satisfied himself thus far, now left the house and premises in charge of Sergeants Whither and Shaw, and himself proceeded to the Lothbury c ffi ces of the Ele ctric Tele g r ap h Company. Arriving there, be availed himself of the informati on gained from the letter handed to him by Mr. Sirrell, and telegraphed to Mr. Dowling, the chief of the Liverpool police, reques tin g that he would immediately appr eh end two persons named Macaulay and Maguire, whose addresses and description were given. Mr. Lund then returned to Barbican, and by his direction Mr. Sirrell was conveyed in custody ‘in .t'' the King-street st a ti on o f the police force, in VY 5 3 traiaster• Withj a short half hour telegraphic intelligence was received in London, from Mr. Dow ling, to the effect that both Macaulay and Maguire were in custody. It was also suggested that Mr. Sirrell might be seat down to Liverpool, to be brought up in custody with the supposed thieves on the following day. The Commissioners of Police having been consulted, considered this to be the best arrangement, and Mr. Sirrell was accordingly sent down in custody on Wednesday night. Meantime officers had been left in charge of his premises, and a very superficial examination of the stock contained in the two houses disclosed consider able proof of the nature of his dealings. An immense quantity of plate bearing crests and cyphers, and evi dently stolen property, was found in various places, and no less than five crucibles were at work when the officers entered. The number of watches discovered is almost incredible—upwards of 300 of them have the cases torn off, and only the works are remaining. Among the others are several costly gold watches with seals and appendages complete, and altogether the amount of property supposed to be stolen, which has been taken possession of; is said to exceed in value any seizure since the days of Ikey Solomons. In the course of Thursday and yesterday, all the stock of plate and jewellery Was removed by the police from the premises, and taken to Scotland-yard, where it will remain for the present for the purpose of iden tification. Mr. Sirrell has been in business in the same shop for 37 year?. He is a widower, and has only one child, a daughter, aged about 20 years. His business was carried on in a most liberal style, and he always employed three sbopmen. The prisoners were brought up before the county magistrates at Liverpool on Thursday, and, after hearing the formal charge, the magistrates remanded them until Tuesday next. The very complete manner in which the officers of the detective force, with Mr. Lund at their head, per formed the difficult duty intrusted to them, has given great satisfaction to all parties. THE FRIMLEY MURDER. GUILDFORD, FRIDAY.—This day was appointed for the examination at Guildford of the prisoners Smith, Harwood, and Jones, who were charged with the murder of the Rev. Mr. Holiest, at Frimley-grove, on the night of Friday last. Since the last exami nationermxneat.dmtSibnaaamttiuneenalmeHen.arwood, first cousin to the other a fourth person has been taken into custody, a Tuesday last, which was held m p r s i T s n ob n amed e a at Frimley, stood adjourned over till two o'clock to day at Guildford, but from some unexplained cause the local magistrates did not arrive in the town till three. A short time previous to that hour two of the prisoners were brought through the main streets handcuffed, to the police station in the centre of the town, and in the course of half an hour after wards the other two were brought in the same manner. They were low set men, not at all remarkable for muscular power or wearing the look of assassins, though it was easy:to be seen from their physiognomy that their lives had been spent in restless ruffianism. They were dressed W I light cord jackets and trowsers, and they all wore caps. The appearance of the pri soners in the streets of Guildford caused an extra ordinary commotion in the little town ; the shops and houses were deserted, and a great crowd gathered in front of the police-station and the Town-hall, among whom the one theme of conversation was the crime with which the prisoners stood charged, and the pro bability of it being brought home to them. Soon after three o'clock, Mr. George Best, ofFast bury House, Compton • Mr. J. Moore Molyneux, of Loseley-park, Guildford; and Mr. George Gibson, of Bradston Brook, also near Guildford, arrived. Ap plication was made by the representatives of the press for admission to report the proceedings, when Mr. Best informed them that the examination for that day was to be merely formal ; that all that would be done would be to receive the deposition of Mr. Hollington, the superintendent of the Guildford police as to the fact of the murder and burglary having been com mitted, and to receive his request for a further remand till additional evidence could be procured. Under these circumstances, he did not see that there was pbr t but soon en andthe representatives f the accordingly pres s belng ; s reti red soon afterwards the representatives of the press w ere called into a small closet of the magistrate s ' office, where so small was the accommodation, that t he pri soners, the magistrates, the constables, and the re porters, were all huddled together, with scarcely the possibility of standing room being found for each ; when the deposition of Superintendent Hollington was read over to the effect we have already stated, and the examination was adjourned till Saturday, the 12th inst., when it is to be hoped that more accom modation for all parties will be provided. The pri soners were accordingly remanded till that day. We understand the reason of the examination being adjourned was the serious illness of Mrs. Holiest, whose evidence must of course be of the utmost im portance in the case, but who hat received so severe a shock from the occurrence that she was unable to attend. We have already mentioned that a fourth person, Samuel Harwood, is in custody. In the ab sence of any authentic information, we can only give the rumours that are floating about as the probable cause for this step having been taken. It appears that on Thursday forenoon, a keeper in the employment of Mr. Russell, a gentleman of property resident near Frimley, on going his rounds round two masks in a plantation very near the place where the half-emptied bottles of wine with broken bread and meat were found on a former, day. Not far from there the top of the pocket commu nion cup which the Rev. Gentleman was in the habit of using was discovered. The masks were merely pieces of green baize, with holes cut for the eyes and mouth, and strings of narrow white riband to fasten them round the head. Now it happened that war rants had been issued to search the houses of the re lations of the prisoners; and in the house of Samuel Harwood a piece of green baize was found, which it is said corresponds with the masks. In consequence of this and some other suspicions circumstances, Samuel Harwood was lodged in custody . on Thurs• day night. A fifth person connected with the prisoners bad also been apprehended, though not on this charge—a girl named Mary Ann Croucher, with whom Levi Harwood cohabited. Her lodgings were searched about the same time as Samuel Har wood's, and several duplicates of pawned property were found in her posses sion. Suspicion was raised that this property had been stolen from a house at Chichester, where a robbery took place a short time ago, and a corre spondence took place with the authorities of that city on the subject. The girl called at the lock-up this morning to see Harwood, just as Superintendent Hollington was in the act of reading a letter which had arrived from Chichester, requesting that the party might be detained. She was, of course, at once given into custody. What additional evidence has been suffered to trans pire is of a very slight character. It may be remem bered that Mrs. Holiest, when examined before the coroner on Tuesday last, stated that the burglars were dressed in light clothes, and that they appeared to be in the attire of mountebanks at a fair. It was also mentioned on that occasion that at the door of the garden there was a mark as if a man had fallen down in a wet slippery part. Now it appears that on the right sleeve of Levi Harwood's shirt are marks of wet gravel, which has led to the supposition that if he was the party he must have either had off his coat, or more probably that all the parties had their shirts over their ordinary dresses, which would bear out Mrs. Hollest's impression of the burglars being dressed like mountebanks. It is also said that one of Har wood's great toes is severely lacerated, as if it had come in violent collision with some hard substance. Another scintilla of evidence is-that a fustian jacket found in Samuel Harwood's cottage is known to have been worn by Levi Harwood when he left home on. Friday evening, but when he returned on Saturday he wore another coat. Facts like these are so trivial in themselves as to seem scarcely worth recording ; but they may come, when connected with other mat ters, to draw with them important consequences. All four prisoners reside at Guildford, and the im mediate ground of their apprehension was the fact that they were all absent from their homes on Friday night. Suspected before from their notorious cha racters, this circumstance naturally increased the sus picion, and their apprehension was at once decided on. Since they have been ini prison they have all conducted themselves with propriety, except Smith, who manifests considerable impatience at his confine ment. The following is a more accurate account of the manner in which the three prisoners ac counted for their absence from home on Friday night than has yet been published. Harwood said be left Guildford on Friday afternoon at five o'clock, and, after walking as far as Ripley, got a lift on a tilted cart into London, end was set down at Vauxhall at midnight ; that he then walked to a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road, where he sat for some hours, and then went to London-bridge to see if he could obtain work. Failing in this, and also in his endeavours to discover a sister, to see whom he states that be had come to London, be returned to Guildford by the half-past five o'clock train from Lon don-bridge. Smith states that he went to Kingston in a fish cart on Friday afternoon, and tried to get work at laying water pipes; but not succeeding, he met a friend, with whom he went to London, and visited the Surrey Theatre at half price. Jones says that he was out on the Downs, near Guilford, all the Friday night, watching some snares which he had set for rabbits. It will be remembered that the priso ners were locked up together in Farnham on Sunday night, which afforded them an opportunity, if they wished it, for concocting a co ns i s tent line of defence; but, notwithstanding this, it is said that all these stories will be more or less disproved on the next examination. The funeral of Mr. Holiest is appointed to take place on Monday. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, OCT. 4.—The arrivals continue on a liberal scale, and the business in most articles is conse quently limited. Wheat is is to 2s per quarter cheaper. oats id per stone, and shelling is per load lower. Barley of inferior quality difficult to sell, whilst fine samples are in demand at last we.:lt's prices.

BRISTOL ►SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 4.—The demand for raw sugar, suitable for the scale, continues good; but for pan descriptions there is not so much inquiry, the refiners being still in stock from their cheap purchases of foreign; the offices are still very badly supplied with samples. The refined market is steady, but scarcely so active as of late. Raw only in moderate demand.— Bristol Mercury. EXETER, OCT. 4.—Cattle—The market to-day has been inanimate, and last week's prices have not been exceeded, although the supply has been but moderate. Fat beef can hardly be quoted above 81 per score for the best; the current figure has been 7s 61 to 8s per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 6s 6d; geese, 4s 6d to 6s each; ducks, 3s 6d to .ss; fowls, 2i 6d to 34 9d per couple; pheasants, 5s 6d; partridges, 2s 9d to 3s per brace; hares, 2s 6d to 3s; roasters, 4s 6d to 5s 6d each ; rabbits, is to 2s per coupl; eggs, 16 to 18 for Is; butter, lld per lb. Corn Exchange—There have been a good many samples shown, but up to this hour but little busi ness has been transacted, the growers refusing to sell at a lower rate than last week, which the millers, unless much in want, refuse to give. Prices under these cir cumstances, will probably range from 5s to 5s 6d for good samples of new wheat, and from 5s 4d to 5s 9,1 for old. In foreign wheat there is no alteration, and but very little doing; red French is quoted 41s to 425, and white Belgian, 46s per quarter. in new barley scarcely anything is doing, old for malting is worth from 3s 3d to 3s 6d per bushel. New oats is 9d to 2s ditto; old ditto 2s 3d to 2s sd. Fine flour 30s to 32s per sack of 2801bs. NEWBURY, OCT. 3.—The quantity of wheat pitched in our market is extraordinarily large, of which only a small portion consists of the old crop. The new is not so good as of late, and a good deal is extremely thin and blighted; besides, the condition is very greatly deterio rated by the late rains. The demand to-day for any but fine old and selected new is extremely languid, at slightly reduced rates; whilst other descriptions are al most unsaleable, although offering at a decline of 2s to 3s per quarter. We have some new barley in offer, the quality of which is mostly indifferent, and unfit for malting purposes. The rates obtainable are is to 2s per quarter lower than last week. In beans, oats, and peas, with a small supply, we have but little passing, at un altered rates. - LIVERPOOL, OCT. 4.—There was a better feeling in our grain market this morning. The business in wheat was not large, but very full prices were obtained. Some extensive sales of the recently arrived American flour transpired, at about the following rates.—For Western Canal, warm, and with all faults, 19s 3d up to 21s, sour 18s, and coarse quality at 16s per barrel; perfectly sweet Western Canal flour brought 22s to 22s 6d, and Philadelphia 23s 64 to 24s per barrel. There was not the least change in the value of oats, barley, beans, and peas. Indian corn fully supported the price of Tuesday. BANGOR, OCT. 4.—Our market to-day was but thinly attended. There was a good supply of grain samples. Wheat (very dull of sale), best home growth, was offered at 39s to 41s; barley, 19a to 21s; oats, 13s to 15s. Oat meal, 23s per 2401b5. DENBIGH, OCT. 2.—The market this day was small, and very little business is said to have been transacted. Wheat from 12s to 13s per 1681bs; barley was more in demand, from 7s to 8s per 1471b5; oats from 4s 6d to 68 per 1051 be. MOLD, OcT. 2.—Wheat, 12s; barley, 8s per quarter; potatoes, 31n for 11b.

GLOUCESTER GREAT ANNUAL FAIR.-- The great Barton fair has been held during the present week at Gloucester, but has proved rather a flit affair. The cattle market on the first day most was d p e re se tt r y i p w tio e n li s a o t i te s li to d e e k d, and there was a fair supply of but particularly of sheep; indeed there were Consider ably more sheep penned than at any previous fair at Gloucester. Trade, however, appeared to rule dull, and late prices were barely maintained. Down ewes from 233 to 28s; lambs, 15s to 18s per head. In store cattle but little business was transacted, and that at a consider able reduction in price. Fat beef was worth from 41 to sd, according to size and quality ; and mutton from 5d to 54d. Fat pigs of from 10 to 12 score each, 7s 6ct per score; larger ones could not be sold, as the importations from America render fat English bacon unsaleable. In the horse fair there were but tew prime animals either of the nag or cart kind, but those shown obtained good prices. There were a great number of Welsh colts, and many of them were sold. The pleasure f a i r has been well kept up throughout the week, and the mop or sta tute fair for hiring agricultural servants was very nu merously attended by aervants " out of place." This, however, can hardly be regarded as a sign of the times, seeing that most of the farm servants will only hire from year to year, in order that they may not be debarred from the pleasure of these meetings. THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. LONDON, THURSDAY.—The imports of wool into London during the week ending to-day, have been 2,123 bales, of which 658 were from Algiers, 208 from Spain, 205 from Mogadore, 305 from Germany, 618 from Alexandria, and the rest from Italy, &c. The market is very steady for wools generally. LEEDS, 00T. 4.—Sales of deep grown combing wools are not quite so brisk as recently, but there has been rather more inquiry for fine co m bi ngs. P r i ces are firm: We do not report any alteration in clothing wools. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 2.—A steady demand for all kinds of foreign wools at stiff rates. Scotch is rather dull. The imports are 557 East India, 846 Lisbon (principally coarse), 130 Oporto, 34 Malta, 33 Gibraltar, and 92 Alexandria. TRADE or LERDS.—Except for heavy winter goods, of which a very light supply wes brought to the Cloth halls, the markets were dull on both Saturday and Tuesday. Prices are a shade higher since the late wool sales, and the stocks continue very light in the manu facturers' hands. Business has been pretty brisk since this day week in the warehouses, more particularly in heavy winter stock, but the foreign houses are doing much less than of late. BRADFORD, OCT. 3.--Wools — The operations in the wool trsde still rule on the finer sorts, for which very high prices are sought, and the supply not abundant. For low and middling qualities, the spinners supplied themselves at the neighbouring markets and fairs, so that they are yet well-stocked, and they are not free to buy at prices sought by the staplers. Noils and brokes are without any change. Yarns—There is no less yarn going into actual consumption, nor are any stocks found in the spinner's hands, but there is no disposition to buy for distant delivery, as the home trade is usually less active, and the manufacturers are buying for present consumption. For shipping there is the same demand as there has been for some time back, and yarns suitable for Russia are wanted f i r this month's delivery. Fine num bers on spools are fully as firm as last month; in other numbers there is little difference. Pieces—The demand for goods suitable for the autumn commenced some what earlier this season, and at no time has October come in with so generally a small supply of goods, in both the manufacturers' and the merchants' hands. This indicates a healthy state of trade, with an absence of speculation, and all are sanguine of a good trade throughout the winter. In prices there is no alteration. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, OCT. 3.—The market was dull, and very little business • appeared to be doing, but prices were steady. The extent of contracts still to run, however, both in cloth and yarns, keeps stocks from ac cumulating very considerably, and producers are thus enabled . the better to command the pleseut rates Iu the face of a slack demand. The demand for doubled yarno and numbers, suitable for Russia, generally, is declining as the a•ason draws to a close, but the Germans ar e operating to some extent, and the Levant houses apPea r to be doing more business. India houses buy sparinglf , and there is great caution exercised by the country trade' MINING INTELLIGENCE.
