fiourth Eton SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day. ) MANCHESTER, JAN. 18.—The New Orleans markets declined ie. to Ac. per lb. on the receipt of unfavourable advice from this side to the 10th December; but ac ' aunts hence of five days' later date caused that loss to 1,.; regained, freights having fallen to id. The excess in C - te receipts is now 445,000 in all, and for the week 42,000. In various circulars, the excess is expected to reuch 465,000, and then to fall off very materially ; and they talk of not more than 3,100,000 being ultimately realised. But there are others, of the hi g h es t name, who do not at all diminish the late extreme estimates ; and, in general, the best informed parties in this district can see nothing whatever, in the known facts of the case, to warrant a reduction of estimates. As a curious illustration of the arts adopted to influ ence prices on this side, and of the origin of those arts, we make the following quotation from the advice of the highly -respectable firm of M'Connell, Wanroy, And Co. of Mobile, dated 25th December :—" The Liver pool letters of 26th and 30th November reached here on the 19th and 21st inst., and yesterday those of the 4th Deceinhoar came to hand ; these letters bring us the first intimation of severe killing frost over the entire cotton reg.or., in the middle. of November, also of injury to cot ton 'op floods, and a wet picking season, all of which we were en ignorant of before." Sure With a statement like this in their hands, with a stock of cotton in Liverpool exceeding that of this time last year by 200,000 bales, and with an excess in the receipts at the' American ports of near 450,000 bales, while the priee of the article with us is id. to ad. higher than it was a year ago—our spinners will not now, as thee, have too often done, allow themselves to be made the instruments for transferring money out of their own pockets into those of speculators on this side the Atlan tic, and planters on the other side. They are, at this moment, -suffering' from prices gratuitously raised by the ill-advised orders they th mselves sent out some ti me back, without siafficientlY restricted limits. We are glad, however, to see that a more wary and guarded spirt is prevailing among those who are most deeply in tet ested in this matter. . Still, these advices have contributed with other and more, legitimate circumstances, to impart a hardening tendency to our yarn and cloth markets. The advices from the East, which will be found below, together with an apparently permanent improvement in the weather, have had a greater share in inducing some increase of demand, and slighly strengthening the hands of pro ducers in regard to prices. We had more inquiry for mule twist and shirtings for Calcutta ; for shirtings for Shanghae ; and for water twist for Canton ; and a mo derate business has been effected for those markets. This has operated favourably in other departments by an in direct influence. The continental houses are taking rather more yarns, and so are the home consumers. Slowly, too, the buyers of domestics appear to be ap proaching towards business. ROCHDALE, JAN. 17.—We had a rather still market to-day, and the amount of business transacted has been more limited on account of the prices demanded by the inanrifacturers, who ask more money for their pieces to met the extra price of wool and oil. There is little cb.ange in the wool market worthy of notice. MACCLESFIELD, JAN. 18.—Business has been done to a fair extent in silk manufactured goods during the past week. The shippers are free buyers of anything that will come at their prices. Stocks continue low, and the prospects for the spring trade are favourable. Thrown Silks.—There has been more business transacted for the home market. The demand for the continent is, *how ever, on a dimi n i s • scale for the present, but as prices at Lyons a . Etienne, are ranging high, a re sumption of purc is shortly expected. Stocks here are insignifica n t, a in the finer descriptions a great scarcity is felt. Raw Silks—There is no new feature to notice. The China mail just in, reports shipments to the extent of 21,000 bales. Prices were siightly lower at Shanghae, owing to our advices of August and Sep tember reporting a fall hire. Italians remain firm, and Brazils without alteraton, excepting the coarse and in ferior descriptions, which are in demand. HALIEAX, JAN. 15.—Owing probably to the very heavy rain which fell all the morning, there was but a slender muster of merchants and manufacturers in our Piece hall to-day, and the salsa of goods were consequently extremely limited. There is no material change in the aspect of the yarn market, and the spinners are still struggling for an advance corresponding with that on the raw material. Wools are scarcely so active, and the quotations are again somewhat higher. HUDDERSFIELD, JAN. 18.—The attendance of buyers to-day at the Cloth Hall has not been so numerous as last week ; still a fair trade has been done mostly in spring goods ; more has been done to order this week. Stocks in the cloth hall are extremely low. There is at present no run upon any particular class of goods. Union cloths have been enquired for, and found purchasers at from 2s. to 2s. 6d. During the week there has been a good trade doing in the warehouses, and most of the shippers are extremely busy with orders for the Ameri can markets. BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 17.—The quarterly meetings of the ion trliei last week pas se d o ff w ith sp i r i t, an d pr i ces have 11 maintained for every denomination of iron —indeed, in some instances the figures that have ruled have been in advance of the declared rates. Plates and sheets are reported to have reached 141. per ton, and rails 12/., delivered in Liverpool. Some temporary misgivings were felt, or at least were expressed, in the early part a the week, which induced consumers to give out rather dribbling or d ers a t W o l ver h ampton, but confidence re vived as the reports from different localities came in, all bearing a favourable aspect. In our Town-hall, on Thursday, the attendance was very numerous, with an improved inclination for doing business ; and the aggre gate result of the meeting shows as full an amount of con tracts negociated as the previously crowded state of order books, and the precarious ability to execute, would admit. The insufficiency of the supply of coals for the requirements of the trade is daily becoming more apparent. Iron ma ,factories cannot be kept at full work for want of feul, and several blast furnaces, after working for a time upon a reduced scale, are now report ed to be upon the exe of being put out from the same cause. Ironstone also, though not so much in request, fetches exceedingly high prices ; aud, under the circumstances, the probability is that the present amount of make, either in raw or finished iron, cannot be maintained ; while the demand, especially for export, still continues to increase. Pig iron has realised unwarrantably high prices. The determination o f one or t wo usually-exten sive purchasers to abstain from buying, seemed to have little or no influence on the market. The furnace owners in Shropsliire fixed their rates at 61. per ton, and the same W,P.9 obtained for the best Staffordshire snakes. In ferior qulities were sold from 51. lOs to Si. ss. Pecu niary engagements have on all hands been unexception ablzf satisfied, and the closing feeling seems to have been one of cheerful acquiescence in the present advanced prices. T.he position now occupied does not appear to be beyond the actual progress of the trade, and is fully justified by the relative amount of demand and supply. So long as this continues unaltered, there,is no cause for uneasiness, and no reason to anticipate any approaching retrogression. In consequence of the high price of iron, and the prin cipal Metals use d i n th e manu f actures of Birmingham, manufactured goods of various descriptions are rapidly advancing. The merchants, in anticipation of an advance in the price of locks, have issued large orders, and in con sequence of this demand, a meeting of the lockmakers will be held this evening (Monday) at Wolverhampton, to consider the present state of the trade. The currycomb makers issued circulars during the past week, announcing and advance to from 20 to 25 percent. on best combs, and several other articles have gone up in price. The cop per trade is still much agitated. Another advance of 51. per ton has taken place, and we understand that large orders even on that advance have been refused. Many persons in the trade are therefore unable to enter into contracts, unless subject to the price of copper at the time of delivery.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-JAN. 18. COOKERELL V. GUNTER. This was a special case, the facts of which were as fol lows :—A vessel bound upon her voyage was obliged to go, by stress of weather, out of her due course • she was dragging her cabl es , an d f or t h e preservat i on of the lives of the crew, the captain ran her into the tidal harbdur of Sawn, near Calais, at low water. She touched the ground, and finally settled on the mud, in such a manner that she was only lifted from her position at extraordinary high tides. She remained in the predi cament for about two months. The question was— whether this was a " stranding" within the clauses of the policy of insurance, or a mere "taking the ground " in the ordinary course of navigation. Lord Campbell said that he was of opinion that this was a "standing " within the meaning of the memoran dum upon the policy of insurance ; and the other judges concurring, judgment was given accordingly for the MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Jan. 18. (Before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant-Judge, and 'a bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.) The Court to-day continued hearing appeals. THOMAS C. GLOVER V. A CONVICTION OF - ARNOLD, ESQ. This was an appeal against a conviction made at the Westminster Police-Court, under which the appellant was to pay a fine, or suffer a term of imprisonment, for keeping an unlicensed theatre, in York-street, West mim ter. Mr. Parry appeared for the appellant ; Mr. Birnie in support of the conviction. It was admitted that the place in question was, to all intents and purposes, a theatre, and that it was unlicen sed. When the case came before Mr. Arnold, a legal gentleman, who appeared for the defendant, the present appellant, admitted that his client was the owner of the premises, and urged that he had some sort of an autho rity under a license from the " Queen's trumpeter." The magistrate held that the authority contended for had no existence in fact, upon which the advocate for the appel lant said he had been misled, and that he would under take that the theatrical representations should not be repeated. Upon this, Mr. Arnold postponed his deci sion for a week, and when the parties appeared on the second occasion, another solicitor represented the defen dant, and tendered evidence to show that he was not the keeper, but that instead he had let it to another person, although he still occupied apartments in the premises of which the theatre formed part. The agreement was tendered as evidence, but Mr. Arnold rejected it, and at the same time remarked upon such evidence being brought forward after the admissions of the former day. The appellant and another were convicted, and such of the corps as were summoned were discharged, on pro mising to abandon their respective engagements. Mr. Parry now repudiated the admissions made when the parties were first before the magistrate, and said that his client would not be bound by any unauthorised state ment made at that time. The conviction was for " keep ing" this unlicensed theatre—a sort of establishment, the learned counsel observed, en passant, none condemned more than he did; but he should prove that the "keeper" of the theatre was a person of the name of Nelson, to whom Glover had let it. If he showed this, the Court would not go beyond the limits of the conviction and say that because the appellant had disproved one offence he was guilty of another. Evidence confirmatory of counsel's statement was then given. The Assistant-Judge having consulted the Bench, said the case was s very singular one, and the Court had come to its decision with Very great reluctance--the more so, as it was quite clear the appellant was the owner of this place, and had knowingly let it as an unlicensed theatre —an offence, in point of morals, the same as that of which he had been convicted by the magistrate. It was most singular that a different defence was set up now to that set up before the magistrate, and the Court looked with a jealous eye upon that defence • and if it had been made at first, the a pp e ll an t would have been convicted of unlawfully letting, and then there would have been no escape 'for him. Under all the circumstances, the Court unanimously thought the conviction should be quashed ; but if the appellant was brought up again for letting, it would be a very serious matter. Conviction quashed accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—George Arrell, a young man in the mploy of Scott, the bill-sticker, appeared to a summons charging him with having destroyed two posting-bills of the Haymarket and Adelphi Theatres, the property of Mr. B. Webster. For several weeks past a species of warfare has been arried on between the rival bill-stickers of Drury-lane nd the Haymarket Theatres, owing to a disputed right of boarding, The scene of the present battle was in Long Acre, where by the permission of Mr. Burstall, the builder, the placards of the Haymarket and Adelphi were displayed upon the hoarding in front of some houses elonging to that gentleman, who stated that he granted he privilege exclusively to the above theatres, although admitting, in cross-examination, that he allowed Mr. lbert Smith a portion of the space for the accommoda on of "Mont Blanc." Evidence having been given relative to the destruction the posters by the defendants, who was found covering them with lamp-black. Mr. Driscoll - (the defendant in previous cases) stated that he was employed by Mr. Webster to obtain by fa vour, purchase, promise of " orders," or otherwise, the best boardings that could be procured in and within ten miles of London. It was then his duty to affix to these the priiiate boards or frames belonging to Mr. Webster, and place the bills upon them; but Mr. Scott, the Drury lane bill-sticker, who had almost a monopoly of the trade, and employed a great many men, was constantly autho rising persons to efface or destroy them. In cross-examination by Mr. Fenton, the witness ad mitted that the Drury-lane bills (about 251. worth) were blacked first, but he denied having authorised any one to do it. He knew who did black them, and on bein g pressed, said it was a bill-sti c k er named Wells. Mr. Webster, the lessee *of the Haymarket, expressed his regret that this battle of the bill-stickers should con tinue, for he had done all in his power to avoid collision with others by securing his own sites, which he had only accomplished by a considerable outlay. Mr. Jardine, after suggesting th e t erms o f peace, ordered the defendant to pay ss. for damage and costs of the summons. MARYLEBONE. --John Welch, a labourer, was charged by Colonel Tovey, 54, Cambridge-terrace, Hyde park, under the following circumstances The colonel, whose left eye was blackened and much swollen, deposed that on the previous evening, between seven and eight o'clock, while sitting at his dinner-table, two of his female servants rushed into the room in a great fright, and informed him that two men had been endeavouring to force their way in at the front door, and that they would not go away. He immediately got up and went to the door, when seeing a man standing out side, he told him if he did not be off directly he would send for the police. Mr. Broughton—Was the man you speak of, Colonel, the prisoner ? Complainant—l have no doubt of it. Mr. Broughton—Upon your telling him that, what took place ? Complainant—Prisoner said to me, in a determined tone and manner, " I'm starving, I want relief, and re lief I must have." I called him a vagabond, and again desired him to quit; adding that if he did not do so at once I should give him into custody ; upon which he told me that I and the police might go to —. I ob served that he had something in his hand, and fearing that he meant to act violently towards me, I turned round and seized hold of this, a piece of boxwood, some what in the form of a " ninepin," weighing about 101bs., and gave him to understand that if he persisted in stay ing where he was I should break his head. I went round the corner to look for a policeman, when prisoner followed me, and desired me to hit him. I saw two other fellows near at hand, and was retracing my steps hastily, when prisoner gave me a tremendous blow on the loins, and attempted to trip me up, which he would have succeeded in doing, had I not contrived to support myself by placing my hands against the wall. I turned round and made a blow at him with the piece of wood, and he then gave me numerous blows. I got into my house almost senseless, and soon afterwards my servants came to me saying that two police officers had arrived to take me into custody on a charge of assault. I went with the officers in a cab to the station, where I ascer tained that the prisoner, who said he was much hurt, had been taken to the hospital. Mr. Broughton—You have said, Colonel, that you struck at him. Did you hit him ? Complainant—l did, but not until after he had as saulted me, and tripped me against the wall. I think I must have struck his arm. Prisoner—Did you not make a kick at my body when I asked you for a ticket for the " Refuge" for the night ? Contplainant--I made no attempt to kick you, neither did Y(JU mention a word about a ticket to me. 4ry Wall and Anne Livesay corroborated the evi denek as to the assault upon the colonel. ergeant Allison, 8 D, said the prisone r came t o t h e sta'ci on , where he stated that he had been assaulted by a gentleman in Cambridge-terrace, merely because lie had asked for a ticket for the Refuge for the destitute. Pri soner went with him, and pointed out to him the resi clence ; on witness going in, leaving prisoner in the care of another officer, he saw Colonel Tovey bleeding from the left eye. He took prisoner to St. Mary's Hospital, where his arm was dressed, and he was subsequently locked up on the charge preferred against him by com plainant. Saint, 183 D, said that one day last week he saw the prisoner on the steps of several doors in Cumberland place, and on asking him what business he had there, he abused him, and challenged him to fight. Upon finding that he was about to be taken into custody, he took to his heels and escaped. The prisoner's answer to the charge was that he merely asked for a ticket, and that the Colonel made a the lower part of his pe rson, at t he same time calling kick atu loudly for a knife. He could not g et on e from eith er of his servants, when he picked up the piece of wood, an d aimed it at his head. He put up his arms to defend himself, and upon one of them he received a blow which njured him very much. " After that," said the pri soner, " I did give him a tap ; and that's all I have to tell you. I took possession of the stick, and carried it to the station-house." _The servants were both recalled, and t he y said that Prisoner made no mention whatever respecting a ticket for the " Refuge," neither did they hear the Colonel call for a knife. Mr. Broughton to Colonel Tovey—Did you ask for a knife ? . Complamant—l did say "Bring me a carving knife, and I'll settle him." Mr. Broughton—Do you wear that you did not assault the prisoner until after he struck you on the loins, and tripped you up ? Complainant—l do, sir, I certainly aimed at his head, but he put up his arm at the moment of my doing so. In reply to the Magistrate, Colonel Tovey said he would rather the case were decided summarily. Mr. Broughton characterised the outrage as being one of a most ruffianly description, and for that outrage he must pay a penalty of 51., or go for two months to the House of Correction.—He was locked up. LAMBETH.—Henry Godsall Johnson, alias Captain Johnson, who has been in custody for several days on a charge of obtaining from a wido'w lady named Stewart, by false representations and a promise of marriage, rail way shares to the amount of 6001, and also money to a considerable amount, were placed before Mr. Elliott for further examination. Mr. Robinson attended to prosecute ; and Mr. Parry appeared for the prisoner. The first witness called was Mr. Ralph William Grey, who deposed—l am private secretary to Lord Palmerston, and am well acquainted with his lordship's family, and I am enabled to say that the prisoner is certainly not a nephew to his lord ship. Ido not know the prisoner, nor have I ever, to my knowledge, seen him before. The letter produced is in the handwriting of Lord Palmerston. The letter alluded to was as follows : " Broakilands, Oct. 12, 1852. " Dear Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, and to express my regret that I cannot assist you in the matter to which your letter refers, as I have no means of obtaining appointments for anybody. " I am, dear sir, yours faithfully, "H. G. Johnson,'Esq." "PA - I:MERSTON. Mr. Grey, in continuation, said—There is a Mr. John son a consul at Antwerp, an old acquaintance, and, I believe, a distant relation, of Lord Palmerston, but lam not at all aware that the prisoner is a son of this Mr. Johnson. Mr. Robinson—Can you account for the friendly man ner in which Lord Palmerston had addressed the pri soner, or the party to whom his lordship had addressed that note ? Mr. Grey—ln no other way Vian that his lordship was under the impression at the time that he was ad dressing the son of his old friend, and presumed that that son was respectable. In his cross-examination by Mr. Parry, Mr. Grey said he was, not acquainted with the contents of the letter to which the note put in from Lord Palmerston was an answer, as he was not private secretary to his lordship in October last. He had been informed, though he did not know the fact of his own knowldege, that the prisoner was son to the consul at Antwerp, and brother to a Queen's messenger. Mr. Robinson here intimated that he should call wit nesses who had been summoned to trace the notes paid to the prisoner for the shares belonging to Mrs. Stewart. The Prisoner—l admit I sold the shares, and received the money for them. Mr. Robinson—Then I now submit that the case of Mrs. Stewart is ripe for committal, and I shall require Mr. Grey on the trial to prove the fact he has before stated, that the prisoner is not the nephew to Lord Pal merston, as he falsely represented himself to be. The rrisoner—l never represented myself to be the nephew of Lord Palmerston. I did say truly I was a relation, but I never said I was Captain Johnson. Mr. Robinson—There is sufficient proof that you re presented yourself as the nephew of Lord Palmerston, and I now call for your commitment. Mr. Elliott inquired if there were any further charges against the prisoner, when Mr. Dawson, a tailor and draper at Bedford, said he knew the prisoner very well. In the year 1845 the prisoner came to live at Bedford, and resided there for some time as a gentleman, and went by the name of Captain Johnson. He gave witness a liberal order for clothes, and was in the habit of borrowing his horses. In the latter end of October, or the begin ning of November, the prisoner requested the loan of a valuable mare to drive to Northampton with, saying he should be back on the following or subsequent day ; but from that day until that morning he (witness) had not caught sight of him, nor had he heard any ex cept very slight tidings of his valuable mare subsequent to the prisoner's flight, after doing him to the tune of 671. Witness employed a lawyer to look after the cap tain and his mare, but the only thing he could learn of either was, that the mare had been taken in a cart to the station at Euston-square, some short time after the pri soner had her, by a shabby-looking fellow, to take away some hampers of wine. Prisoner—As' my counsel has not been instructed in this case, I should be glad to be permitted to ask the witness a few questions. The first question I wish to ask the witness is this, whether he is quite certain that I am the person who had the mare I Witness—l am quite sure you are the person. Prisoner—Are you sure it was not Mr. Douglas l Witness—Yes, I am quite sure it was no person but you, - - - - Mr. Robinson—l suppose you had abundant oppor tunity of seeing the captain, and cannot be mistaken in his person now ? Witness—Yes, sir, I am quite certain he is the man. The clerk of a wine merchant, in Pall-mall, deposed that in 1845 the prisoner was introduced to his employers as a most repectable gentleman, and gave an order for choice wines to the amount of 1091., which he de sired should be forwarded to his residence, No. 1, Victoria-terrace, Bedford, which was done. Soon after, the gentleman who had introduced him called, and said that he had been grossly deceived in the cha racter of Mr. Johnson. In consequence of what the gentleman said, witness proceeded to Bedford, and had an interview with the prisoner, who told him that the wine was in possession of Captain Douglas, and that if he would call on the following day he should make it all right. He accordingly stopped in the town that nigh, and on going to No. 1, Victoria-terrace, on the follow ing morning, he discovered that the prisoner, and a female who was living with him, had bolted in the night From subsequent inquiries which he had made, he (wit ness) found that the wine had never found its way to Victoria-terrace, Bedford, but had been taken to New port Pagnel, and at that place redirected and sent back to town. Mr. Elliott—Did the prisoner make any representa tions at your employer's house, upon which the wine had been sent to him, or was it merely on the introduction of the gentleman you spoke of that you let him have the property? Witness--On the introduction of the gentleman, who thought him at the time to be a person of the highest respectability. Mr. Elliott—Then, that being the fact, you will not be able to make any case against the prisoner at present. Mr. Howard, of Bedford, who was present at the last examination, here said that he had forgotten to mention that the prisoner came to Bedford with an ac complice, a Captain Douglas, who assisted him in his swindling practices. There was one tradesman present whom they had swindled to the tune of near 2001., and they ruined a poor confectioner by purchasing from him a valuable horse, for which they gave him a bill of ex change so worthless as not to be worth the paper upon which it was written. Mr. Wells, a cabinet-maker and upholsterer, said that, besides supplying the prisoner with the whole of the fur niture to furnish his house, and other goods on hire, he had borrowed 10/. of him. Mr. Parry contended that there was no proof what ever of his client using any false pretence to the trades men at Bedford. He was authorised to state, and he could do so without fear of contradiction, that Mr. John son was the son of Mr. Johnson, who had resided at Bedford for many years, and who was at present consul at Antwerp, which appointment was given to him by his friend and relative Lord Palmerston. He was also brother to a Queen's messenger, who was also, he under stood, appointed by Lord Palmerston, and had been born at Bedford in 1810, and all he had done was merely to state that he was the son of his father who had lived so long amongst them. Tradesmen in this, as in many instances of a similar description, had only themselves to blame for the reckless manner in which they forced their goods on comparative strangers. As a proof of this he begged to read a letter addressed by Mr. Howard, the gentleman who took so active a part in these proceedings, and who seemed to evince so strong a sym pathy for even Mr. Wells, the respectable tradesman who had been last examined, and who gave his evidence with such extreme fairness. The letter he alluded to was ad dressed to Johnson, Esq., Victoria-terrace, and was as follows : " Sir,—l hope you will excuse me in saying that I hope you will allow me to supply you with fenders and fire-irons, because I think you will consider that it is not proper in Mr. Wells, knowing, as he does, that I am an equal pro prietor of Tictoria-terrace with Miss Green, and that we built it partly to promote our respective businesses—it is, therefore, painful thus to be supplanted, as it were, upon one's own ground. If, therefore, you will allow them to be returned, I will supply them, either upon hire or other wise, and upon the best terms. Will you allow me or my son to wait upon you to receive your orders for any arti cles you may require ? and you will much oblige, sir, your obedient servant, JOHN HOWARD. The learned gentleman ably contended that, apart from the moral offence, there was no evidence to conv ict his client of fraud or larceny. Mr. Elliott committed the prisoner in the case of Mrs. Stewart, but remanded him in the case of horse-stealing. A LONDON PARISH WITHOUT A RECTOR.—A repre sentation is about being made to the Bishop of London by some of the most influential inhabitants of Wapping, that their parish has now been for some months past without a rector, on account of failure to present on the part of the principal and fellows of Brazenose College, Oxford, who are the patrons of the living. It appears that the Rev. John Parry, the late rector, died on the sth of August last, and although the officials have been in daily expectation of receiving the nomination of a successor, no notice of any appointment has yet reached them. Upwards of five months have thus elapsed since the death of Mr. Parry, and unless the college nomi nates a successor within the next three weeks, the pre sentatiOn will lapse to the bishop of the diocese.

(From the Leeds Mercury.) The long continuance of rainy weather, and the floods which have occured in various parts of the country, have excited a pretty general feeling of uneasiness in the public mind in relation to the effect which may be pro duced upon our next harvest, and the disturbing influ ences which speculation in foreign, corn, arising out of apprehended scarcity of grain, might have on the circu lating medium, and consequently on all the industrial interests of the country. We have been endeavouring to ascertain to what extent the apprehensions of the public are justified by what has already occurred, and the prospect for the future, so far as it can be discerned at this very early period of the year, and we have arrived at the following result. On all the high and dry land we believe the sowing of wheat has been, for the most part, completed ; but on the low and clay lands, that has not been the case—they still remain to be sown, and that cannot now be done till the spring. It has not unfrequently happened that spring-sown wheats have turned out as well, and some times even better, than the autumn sown corn ; and it is to be hoped that it will be so this year. If the weather should now take up, there is nothing in what is past to cause any serious apprehension for the future. We strongly incline to the opinion that much more wheat has been got into the ground than is generally sup- posed. _ _ Soon after the last harvest we expressed an opinion, that notwithstanding the defective crops in the southern counties of England, the wheat crop of the entire king dom would be very little, if at all, short of an average crop. We are now strengthened in that opinion. The inferior wheats of the south, according to the mil lers, are producing a stronger flour than was anticipated. In some parts of the country the yield per acre has been extraordinary, and the quality excellent. A large quan tity, fully as much as usual, of old wheat remained on hand at the time of the last harvest, and the supplies of that wheat are still considerable. In consequence of the partial failure of the potato crop and the prosperous condition of the labouring population of the country, the consumption of flour has been very large, and the price of it has risen considerably. It is not now at an extravagant rate, or likely to be so. Thus, while it is not placed beyond the reach of the operative in any degree, by unnaturally high prices, the grower is amply remunerated by what he obtains for his produce. Had the corn law been still in existence, a fir different state of things would now have been in operation, weigh ing down the energies of the people. According to the best information we can obtain, we believe we may confidently say, that no speculation in foreign wheat is going on at present in Yorkshire, and that in London it does not exist to an extent worth notice. What speculation there is in foreign grain is almost confined to the general merchants of London, many of whom are importing grain for the purpose of supplying return freights for ships which might otherwise have to come back in ballast, or, what is more probable, go to other ports to seek a loading. From one cause or other, there can be no doubt that the surplus wheat and flour of foreign countries will, under any circumstances, find their way, in greater or less quantity, to this country, where they are always sure of finding a market at higher or lower price ; but unless our prospects in relation to the next harvest become decidedly bad, the imports of foreign wheat and flour will not be to such an extent as to create a drain of gold that would produce a general disturbance of the trade of the country. An opinion prevails in some quarters that the Bank of England will advance its minimum rate of discount another half per cent. Should the idea prove well founded, the advance will not be caused by speculations in corn ; and even then, money will be cheap enough for all legitimate purposes. The large amount of bullion in the Bank coffers, and the very extensive arrivals of gold from Australia, lead to the belief that no scarcity of the precious metals need be apprehended.

Sir,—This class of advertisements, which daily appear in some of the newspapers (the provinc ial ones especially), shield themselves under the title of M.D. , or Surgeon, are a disgrace to the country . The parties otherwise there can be no doubt that they would be amenable to the law ; but it seems that a party with a diploma in his pocket is beyond or above all law, and can do anything he pleases in that way. We have for many years endeavoured to expose this crying evil, but it would seem to little purpose. We could point out country newspapers enjoying a large c i rcu l a tion wherein the advertisements in question cont i nually appear. It was but the Other day that the Society for the Prevention of Vice prosecuted some tobacconist for what they were pleased to term an indelicate picture, but can it be said that that offence was half so grievous as the obscene medical advertisements which continually appear in the newspapers ! If the society would direct their attention to such advertisements, and, by a well conducted prose cution, expose the whole traffic of the parties implicated, then they would, indeed, confer a benefit on society. What ! are we in the nineteent h century to be told that, because a party chooses to write a work which he calls medical, and to affix the title of M.D. or Surgeon to it, that he is to be thereby lice nsed to infest the country with such immoral and obscene a dvertisements as we see displayed in some of the newspapers ! The injurious effect of such advertisements falling into the hands of the rising generation cannot for one moment be doubted. Sir we feel that there is not a respectable medical man but must join us on this question, and that many of them would rather see their diplomas consigned to the flames if they for a moment believed that the possession of the piece of parchment gave any party the power to promulgate the immorality and wickedness that are dis played in the advertisements in question. Still, legally speaking, the diploma does put the party beyond the reach of the law. The only thing required to put an end to the crying evil is, we feel certain, an exposure of the traffic carried on by the offending parties, by calling public attention to the enormity of the evil ; and such being our opinion, we have issued a print or picture, No. 9 of the Hygeian Illustrations, in order to put the public on their guard against the impostures which are carried on under the guise of medical titles by persons of the lowest and most degraded condition ; but, unfor tunately, medicine has hitherto been kept in such con fusion and mystery, that it has given them a power to impose on the credulity of mankind which they would not otherwise have enjoyed—We are, sir, your obedient servants, The Members of the British College of Health for and on behalf of the Society of Hygeists.—New road, London, Jan. 14, 1853. IhIPROVEMENTS AT MARGATE.—Margate we trust ere long will resume her wonted prosperity. Speculation is rife, and building is again going on. The new buildings in Fort Paragon are progressing towards completion. A capital opportunity now offers itself for adding tot he improvements and attraction of the town, by building a sea wall from the Paragon towards the jetty, which would prevent encroachments from the sea, and access to the shore might be made by a flight of steps. We believe that the contract for the new jetty has been taken by Mr. Bristow, of Hartlepool, Durham, and that it is being prepared there, so that we may now add that there are strong hopes of seeing it completed in the present year.—Kentisle Obeerver.

Of the 120, 1 was born in Morayshire, 1 in Sutherland shire, and 15 in Argyleshire. Deducting the boarders, the united ages of the remaining 108 amount to 7,698 years, giving the high average of 71 3-12th years for each individual. The united ages of the boarders amount to 594 years, giving an average of 491 years to each, which shows that some of them must be comparatively young men. There are 26 out-door pensioners, the united ages of whom amount to 1,984, giving the average of 761 years to each person. Of these 26, 2 were born in Inver ness-shire, and 2 in Argyleshire. FRENCH RAILWAYS.—From a table published by the departmeut of Public Works it appears that the total length of railways in activity in France in 1851, was 3,307 kilometres (about 2,200 English miles), and in 1852, 3,708 kilometres ; that the total receipts of the first year were 106,967,496 fr., and in the second 132,277,905 ; and that consequently the receipts per kilometre rose from 32,345 fr. in 1851, to 35,673 fr. in 1852. SNOW STORM IN THE NORTH.—The hills all around are covered with snow, and so heavy was the fall on the Highland road between Blair-Atholl and Da'num doch, that the mail northwards stuck fast, and the bags were brought on from thence by post chaise, arriving here several hours after the proper time.,—/nverness A dvertiser. COUNTRY MARKETS. ~- ~ LIVERPOOL.—JAN. 18. At this day's market there was the usual attendance of the trade, but few buyers from a distance ; however, a fair consumptive demand was experienced for wheat anti flour at the full prices of this day week. Oats and oatmeal were offered at ld per 451 b., and ] s per load decline, with little effect. B ar l ey, b eans, and peas maintained' their value, with a fair retail sale. Indian corn was scarcely inquired for,, and bvth stored parcels and floating cargoes could have been bought on rather easier terms.— -The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise during the past week have been very large of oatmeal, but moderate of other articles. From foreign ports we have received 8,355 qrs. of wheat, 3,225 qrs. of beans, 703 qrs. of peas, 1,801 sacks and 5,264 barrels of flour. The trade has been extremely quiet, and both wheat and flour have been somewhat easier to buy. IPSWICII---JAN. 18. The wheat sold to-day more freely, and prices are firm, at late rates. The supply of barley was a good one, both in quantity and quality, and fetched high prices, 37s and 38s being freely given by one or two buyers. Other gra as of late. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

We had to-day a good supply of English wheat, the condition for the most part worse than last week, and such met dull sale at some little decline ; anything in really good condition was worth fully as much money. No alteration in foreign wheats. Barley scarce, and fully is to 2s dearer. The seller has an advantage in the sale of oats. The demand for beans and peas less active.
