After ono o'clock a rather better feeling set i n, and in the latter part of the day there was more business doing, and producers could get prices in some departments of the market which they asked for in vain in the fore noon. The improvement arose from later intelligence from Liverpool reporting more business doing and prices hardening. Export yarns were fiat at the ope n i ng of the market, with prospects of a very small business being done. Later in the day the India and China buyers showed more disposition for business, and a fair amount of transactions in mule yarns took place.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO A " TRAPEZE " PER" Finnan —The Dundee Advertiser reports a lamentable ac cident which befel a gymnast, one of the Brothers Bolena, at the DundeeMasic-hall, on Thursday night. The brothers went through some very clover and daring gymnastic. performances, which many of the audience, especially females, could not behold except with fear, but for which they received from the greater bulk of the audience the warmest approbation. The elder and stronger of the two hung from the trapeze by the legs, while he caught the younger by one of the hands as he was falling past him, and swung him in the air. This and other equally daring feats, as we have already stated, were accomplished in safety. The next exhibition of their agility was intended to be of a similar kind. The elder of the two swung from the tra peze by the legs, and while in this state it was evidently his intention to catch the younger by the left ankle. By some miscalculation the leg of the younger brother came some few inches short of the reach of the older, and ho fell headforemost into the orchestra. The sensation created among the audience on witnessing such a spectacle can bo better imagined than described. Screams and sobs escaped from men and women, and a number of those in the front seats rushed in a state of excitement to see whether the unfortunate performer had been killed by his fearful fall. The other performers also hurried to ascertain what was the matter. The unfortunate man, when picked up from amongst the feet of the band, lay in the arms of hie suppor ters in a state of unconsciousness, with the blood flowing from a wound on the skull. He alighted with his head on the sharp edge of the footstool used by Mr. Butler, the leader of the orchestra, with such force that he broke it, after having struck in his descent the neck of that gentle man's violin. Th e un fortunate gymnast was carri e d i nto an ante-room, and messengers wore instantly despatched for medical aid. Dr. Duncan arrived in the coorse of t en minutes after the accident occurred, and found him sitting in a chair quite conscious, but complaining of pain in his head, ribs, and back. On examination it was found that he had sustained a large scalp wound of a semi c i rcu l ar s h a p e , an d about three or fou r i nches in length, on th e crown of the . head, 'and some slight bruises on the forehead; but so far as ooald bo seen :he did not appear to have received any very serious injury. The wound was sowed up, and the suff. rar was removed to his lodgings in the Nethergate. Falling a distance of upwards of 20 feet, and alighting on the crown of his head, it is a wonder he was not killed ou the spot. It is supposed that he must have saved him self by his hands from receiving the full force of the fall. THE NEW DEAN OF EXETER.—The Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, have conferred the de gree of Doctor of Divinity upon the Very Rev. Archibald Boyd, who has recently been nominated by the Crown to the deanery of Exeter. THE TEA DUTY ISIREDUCED.—Horniman's Pure Tea is said gd per pound Cheaper.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde, Judge Ordinary.) STEPHENS V. STEPHENS AND STANLEY. This was a suit instituted by the husband to ob tain a dissolution of marriage on the ground of the wife's adultery. Mr. Thomas appeared for the petitioner, but neither the responcleDt nor co-respondent put in any appearance. It will be remembered that the case was partly heard about a month ago, when the case was postponed on account of the want of identification of the respondent. The parties had been married several years. The husband, being a respectable working man, had the care of an engine in a large manufactory in Bir mingham. The wife, it appeared, gave way to habits of intoxication, and subsequently left her husband's house and pursued a career of infamy. She was seen by a number of persons associating with men, and was known to have resided in disre putable houses. Mr. Thomas said that he now proposed to call two witnesses who knew the respondent, and one of theta the actual person who served the citation. Anne Stephens said that she knew Rosanna Anne Stephens as her sister-in-law, and that she went to see her with William Walford, the clerk to the petitioner's solicitor. They went to No. 2, London Prentice-street. She saw Mrs. Stephens, her sister in-law, there. She was pointed out to her by Mrs. Walford. Mr. Thomas said that he would now recall Mr. Walford. Mr. Walford said that be went on the 16th February with the witness to London Prentice street for the purpose of identifying Mrs. Stephens. They saw the person upon whom he had served the citation. Sir James Wilde—l do not see that you have proved the adultery. The evidence of the witnesses is that she lived at a certain house in Birmingham, and that they had seen men visit her there. Mr. Thomas—But they identified her in the pre sence of Walford. Sir J. Wilde—lt is so. (To the witness)—He went with you, did he not ? Witness—He did so. Sir J. Wilde—Then you can take a decree nisi. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. ROBBING AN M.P.—John White was placed at the bar charged withstealing a pocket-handkerchief, the property of Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P. Mr. Geo. Wells, gentleman, residing at 12, North skeet, Westminster, said he was riding in a cab this morning through the Strand, and when near Cecil street he saw the prisoner walk up behind a gentle man and put his hand into his pocket and take from it a handkerchief.

DARING ROBBERY IN A DOCK.—John Bowen, a stevedore's labourer, was brought before Mr. Ben son, charged with stealing a bottle of brandy from a barge in the East India Dock. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for Middlemass and Horner, lightermen and barge owners, who, he said, were continually losing pro perty from their craft, and were determined to pro secute in every case where the thief was de• tected. A barge, containing 40 quarter casks, and 24 cases of brandy, was lying near a ship in the East India Dock, and in the temporary absence of the man in charge of the barge, the prisoner jumped on board, tore the lid off a case of brandy, and took a bottle of brandy from it. He then concealed the brandy bottle under a tarpaulin, and went on shore. His proceedings had been carefully watched by Ja mes Sissions, Custom-house officer, who took him into custody directly he stepped on to the quay. The prisoner had been previously slinging goods on board other craft. The prisoner said he had been having a little drop of drink, and that made him commit the robbery. Mr. Charles Douglas, head constable in the East India Dock, said the prisoner was a stevedjre's labourer, and had no right on board Middlemass and liorner's barge. The brandy was to be put on board ship. Mr. Benson—The prisoner has committed a very daring robbery in open day, one I never heard equalled. The prisoner is sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, John Hallett, an elderly man, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing nine ounces of tea, the property of the East and West India Dock Company. Yesterday afternoon, when the labotirers were leaving off work at four o'clock the prisoner was among them, and h 0 was rubbed down and searched by Joseph Cleaver, a constable, as he was leaving the West India Dock at the principal gateway, and nine ounces of tea Were found in his pockets and boots. The prisoner had been employed among the teas in the warehouse. The prisoner, in defence, said it was poverty made me do it. Mr. Benson—You are adding to your poverty and misery by robbery, and you will no t b e em ployed in:the East and West India Dock any more. The Prisoner—l have only been employed four days in five weeks. Mr. Douglas, head-constable, here said—l doubt that very much. lie is a preferable labourer. He has been employed in the dock 15 or 16 years. Mr. Benson—And he has now forfeited his pri vilege to work in the dock. Ile is sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. .............‘.••••• MARLBOROUGII-STREET. WORKED TILL THE LA sT.—Thorn as Stone, Cherry-gardens, Bermondsey, wood-chopper, was charged before 111 r. Tyrwhitt by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with ill treating a pony by working it in an unfit state. The prisoner was seen by Dobre, officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, driving the pony, which was attached to a cart laden with bundle wood, along St. James's street. The officer noticing that the pony was very lame examined it, and found it to be very lame of the near foreleg, which was much bent over, and, in addition, the pony was very old, and nothing but a mass of skin and bone ; and when the officer de tatched it from the cart it could scarcely walk, in pitiable and wretched c on diti on . consequence of its The prisoner said that if the pony was not fit to be worked, he would have it killed. Ile was a poor man, and unable to get another horse. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the prisoner had worked the pony till it had scarcely got any health in its body ; and then he said he was a poor man ; but that was no excuse. The prisoner said he would have the pony de stroyed, and on that condition Mr, Tyrivhitt posed a fine of 55., requesting the officer of the so ciety to see the pony properly killed. Some time after the officer report-ed to the magis trate that the pony had been destroyed, and that such was its miserable ccndition that the horse slaughterer would only give ss. for the carcase.: THE MARQUIS TOWNSIIEND AND JUVENILE IMMORALITY.—Ann Platt, a girl about 15 years of age, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by the Mar quis Townshend with begging. The Marquis said—About ten o'clock last night, the prisoner, with two other girls about the same age, begged of me for money, and also accosted me for the purpose of prostitution in Leices ter-square, and were very importuning. In order to release myself fro:n their impor tunities, I pretended to ring the bell at a house, thinking they would then go away, but in stead of doing so one of th mi rung the bell herself, which caused the keeper of tho house to come out and charge me. I walked away, and the girls fol lowed me and caused a little disturbance. Seeing a constable (Godwin, 157 A R), I caught hold of the prisoner, and the other girls ran away. The constable acted very promptly, and took the pri soner to the station. I wish to state that I have not brought the girl here for the sake of having her punished, but to see whether she cannot be rescued now from her present wretched condition. I have spoken to her, and ascertained that she is entirely without educa tion, and I consider it a shocking thing that girls like the prisoner should be banded about at nights in such a neighbourhood as Leicester-square. Mr. Tyrwhitt—llow old is she, and who does she live with? Prisoner—l am 15, and live with my father and mother. ➢lr. Tyrwhitt—The best thing will be to remand her for a week, and by that time we shall see whether anything can be done for her. The girl's aunt said that the mother, who was ill, did not wish her girl sent away. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l dare say she does not. No thing can be more shocking than to see a girl going on in such a manner and being destroyed. She will be remanded, and we will see if she cannot be got into some institution. WESTMINSTER. MATRIMONIAL CAUSES—PROTECTION ORDERS.— A. very respectable-looking middle-aged woman applied to Mr. Arnold for a protection order, un der the following very peculiar circumstances : She stated that she had beau deserted by her husband three years ago, and now sought an order to protect her effects, or anything that she might acquire. She considered herself fully justified in asking for the order, as he had not during the time she stated in any . way contributed towards her support. Mr. Arnold—What were the circumstances under which you and her husband parted? Applicant—His cruelty to me. Mr. Arnold—Did you separate by mutual con sent, or how ? Applicant—l charged him before a magistrate with his cruelty, and I have not been with him since. Mr. Arnold—What became of him when charged as you state? Applicant—Ho was committed to prison. Mr. Arnold—How long did he remain there ? Applicant—l don't know exactly, but I believe about two months, when he got the bail he was or dered to find. Mr. Arnold—Did you remain iu the same abode as when you charged him ? Applicant—No, I moved away. Mr. Arnold—Did your husband know where to find you when he came out of prison ? Applicant—l can't say that he did. Mr. Arnold—Then I cannot grant you an order under such circumstances. You put your husband in prison I dare say very properly, and if he does not know where to find you when he comes out he can t be said to have deserted you. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, March 3.—We have had a very quiet market in yarn and cloth to-day, at a decline of id. to id. per lb. upon the prices of Friday. A telegram reporting an improvement in the Liver pool cotton-market, about noon, caused a firmer feeling, and led to the close of bargains under nego tiation, but the transactions have been few, and only a very limited business has been done. The decline in price extends to all classes of goods. CARDIFF, March 2.—Shipments of steam coal have not as yet reached the average at this period of the year, and this may be said to be mainly owing to the dispute lately existing between proprietors and their workmen. The strike in this district may be said to be at an end ; but the quantity of coal sent down for shipment is not sufficient to meet the orders on the books, consequently the sidings at the docks have not, as is generally the case, a large number of trucks laden with coal waiting for ship ment. Arrivals also have not been more than sufficient for the supply, and as the store is very short and clearances are rapidly effected there is a probability of something like activity prevailing in a short time, as the number of vessels entered out wards is larger than has been known for some time, and shippers are not short of orders for several of the foreign markets. France continues to purchase largely, and has now become one of the best cus tomers for steam coal. Some GovernMent contracts arc expected to be given out ; and, although there has been a slight falling off in the exports during the past fortnight or three weeks, future prospects are far from unfavourable. 'There is no actual im provement to notice in the iron trade, but inquiries are more numerous than they have been for some time, and there are good reasons for anticipating an improvement in the demand. In tin plates the late improvement is fully maintained. LEEDS, March 3.—The markets in the cloth halls to-day, like these of Saturday, were quiet. There was a moderate attendance of buyers, includ ing some from Glasgow and Ireland, and represen tatives of Bradford, Huddersfield, and other ship ping houses, but they bought very cautiously, con fining their operations to small selections of goods. Tweeds, low meltons, and white diagonals were the chief goods sold. A little improvement was notice able in the sale of hairlists. As to prices, they were generally firm, especially for goods for future deli very. The improvement in the price of colonial wools at the current sales in the metropolis has tended to lighten those of cloth. ROCHDALE, March 2.—As the season for orders for spring goods is nearly over, and merchants have not begun to speculate for the autumn trade, the flannel markets here are beginning to wear a rather more than ordinarily quiet aspect. To-day the at tendance of buyers was small, and only a meagre amount of business was done. There was rather more inquiry for the best classes of fancies than for plain goods. Prices were steady, and the same may be said of those for Yorkshire goods and for wools. Though the flannel trade, as far as sales are con cerned, is rather dull, the manufacturers are mode rately well employed. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE — This Day. 4-- SOUTIIAMPTON, Wednesday. The screw steamer Hammonia, Capt. Ehlers, which left this port on the 21st ult., for Now York, put back this morn ing for repairs. She lost a blade of her propeller when in long. 39, fire or simdays out, and about 36 hours afterwards her stcrnpost became loose; and the captain then consi dered it advisable to return.
