LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. —JAN. 8. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE J. METCALF. The bankrupt is described as a merchant of Penchi]: cell street. He dealt principally in hops and chicory, and attributed his failure to the alteration in the law relating to chicory. He had been thereby compelled to sell his kiln at a loss of 700/. - and there had been a further loss of 5001. by the depreciated value of the article. .His accounts extend over a period of 14 months, commenc ing with an estimated capital of 1,1901., and clo3in g with debts 2,857/.; assets about 5001. he losses al 'e entered at 2,7931., and include 7451. of bad debts. Mr. Lawrance, for the assignee, asked for an adjourn ment of the. bankrupt's examination, in order to give time to examine the accounts. Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, consented, and in actournmest for a fortnight was ordered. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 8. IN RE CHARLES MILES. This insolvent, who had been a tin-plate worker,-. at Walthamstow, in Essex, was opposed by Mr. Dow! ;e for the detaining creditor. This case was heard on Fr i day. The insolvent had become liable for his two son s, who were linendrapers, and had failed. The liabilifi as exceeded 3001., and he had no means of paying them. The Chief Commissioner said it was high time a diem was put to the system, and pronounced a judgment of five months, under the discretionary clause. • IN THE MATTER OF JAMES GORDON, This insolvent, a teacher of mathematics and naviga tion, and a nautical author, applied under the Protector 311 Act. Mr. Cooke opposed for Messrs. Blackie, the vir-E : 11- known printers and publishers of Glasgow. It appeared that the insolvent had written sev,u al works on mathematics and n avigation. Messrs. Blac:kie had printed his " Lunar and Tide Table;" they had :also commenced printing a work called "An Epitome o f Navigation," but he had stopped the supply of copy r. Messrs. Blackie had brought an action, and the law c ts were about 481., of which nearly 401. had been a sioned by the pleas to the action. The insolvent alleged that Messrs. Blackie were in I is debt, but on his examination did not make out his claii n. Mr. Cooke oemplained of the manner in which -t he schedule had been made out, and requested full al:m:13 d ments. Mr. Commissioner Phillips urged upon the insol , pent the importance of setting forth all his work's, and the copyrights he possessed, and of making a true schef It le, otherwise there would be no further protection. The case was adjourned for three weeks. SURREY SESSIONS.-JAN. 8. Vary Gorman, 23, Catherine Sullivan, 22, Catitor ine Roach, and Mary Reddington, were indicted for stet all ng a gold watch and a sovereign and a half, from the p er son of Henry Wm. Ward. Mr. Sharp prosecuted ; and Mr. Charnock defe ni led Reddington. Prosecutor stated that he was a wine merchant, at Camberwell, and had offices in the City. On the uv en ing of the 15th of December he had some wine with 3( me friends in the City, and a little after eight o'clock he went into the Bridge House Tavern, and had no I7e, ;01- lection of what occurred until he found himself in, .the station-house, minus his watch and a sovereign rind a half, which he had safe when he entered the tavern. In cross-examination by Mr. Charnock, witness s aid he had no recollection of the females, neither did he know how he got to the spot where he was found. He was a Common Councilman and frequently indulged in a little drink. Prior to his leaving the City, h.e put four sovereigns into his coat pocket, and a sovereign and a half into his trousers pockets, from which they- were abstracted. A police-constable of the M division said he wan on duty near St. George's Church on the morning of the 16th of December, when Reddington came up to him, and told him that she knew a gentleman who had been robbed, and could show him where the thieves were, and the property. Witness took her to the police-sta tion, where the prosecutor was locked up for being drunk, whom she identified as the party who had been r obbe , l. Witness went with her to No. '9, Mint-street, acco-kn panied by Rowe, 110 M. another constable, where fney found the other females; and on searching their room he discovered under the bed the prosecutor's watch_ Red dington said, " Give me my regulars ?" and on their re fusing to do so, she called witness and the other officers up stairs. She also said that Gorman took the watch, Roach the sovereign, and Sullivan the half-sovereign. Another constable said he was on duty near St. Saviour's Church on the night in question, when he saw the four prisoners together. He told them to go, and they left. Shortly afterwards, on proceeding towards the spot, they had gone, and he discovered the prosecutor lying in sensible on his back. He took him to the police-station and locked him up for being drunk. Other evidence having been given, the jury returned a verdict of guilty against all of them, and the Court sentenced Gorman, Sullivan, and Roach to ten years' transportation, and Reddington to six months at Wands worth. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Alonzo Lestrange, a young man in the employ of Mr. Wilkinson ' warehouseman, of No. 89, Watling-street, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged under the following circumstances : Mr. Wilkinson said—Last night a wholesale robbery was committed on my premises. I have missed 200 pieces of handkerchiefs, as nearly as I can judge. The prisoner was in my service, and it was his duty to leave the premises from half-past five to six every evening. The prisoner (to Mr. Wilkinson)—ls it the regular rule for me to leave at the time you mention ? Mr. Wilkinson—lt is The prisoner—Were you satisfied with the explana tion I gave at the station-house of what I had been doing to detain me so late ? Mr. Wilkinson—l was not. _ The prisoner said he was desirous to ask Mr. Wilkin son more questions ; but the Lord Mayor said to him, "You are at liberty to ask any questions of any of the witnesses ; but I advise you not to do so in the present stage of the proceedings. I am hound to tell you that you are suspected of having been concerned in this seri ous robbery, and I advise you to be guarded in what you ask or say." The prisoner was Mum remanded. BOW-STREET. —J ohm William Molloy, a respect ably-dressed man, of about 60, who either was, or affected to be, as deaf as a post, was charged with having obtained ss. and a dinner upon the security of a forged cheque for 4/. On Wednesday afternoon the prisoner entered the Salisbury Dining-room (Upton's), 91, Strand, and after partaking of dinner, discovered that he had "no money about him." He then drew a cheque for Si. upon Messrs. Herries and Co., the bankers, and requested the waiter, Chapman to advance him 55., but the prisoner did not return for the cheque, which proved, on inquiry, to be a forgery. The prisoner, after reading the depositions, stated that they were perfectly correct, excepting the statement that had been convicted of felony which was false. He had been certainly committed for three months by Mr. Sergeant Adams, but that was for a misdemeanour, similar to the present one. Mr. Henry—What are you? The prisoner—l am a barrister, but not at thetEnglisla bar. I was in practice at Newfoundland in 1813. r was a Solicitor-General at Bermuda ; and in 1825 I was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court at Newfoundland. Mr. Henry—But you were never called to the English bar, and I don't think the Colonial Minister would have given you these appointments without. The prisoner— Excuse me, there you are wrong. I was 'appointed by Lord Bathurst, and many others have had the same situation without ever belonging to the English bar. Mr. Henry—You seem to be known at the Westmin ster sessions, so I shall commit you to take your trial there upon this charge. WORSHIP-STREET. —I/ Seymour, John Simmonds, John Proctor, and George Harris, the first two of whom wore dress swords, and were respectively attired in the full uniform of a captain and lieutenant in the Royal N a vy, were charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with being drunk and riotous, at the Grecian Saloon, City-road, and the defendant Harris, who was described as a surgeon, was charged with attempting to rescue the other pri soners, and assaulting some of the officers of the above establishment. _ It appeared that in the course of the performance the preceding evening, the defendants suddenly made their appearance in one of the private boxes, and had scarcely taken their seats when they began conducting themselves in such a disorderly and uproarious manner as to attract the general attention from all parts of the house. In the first instance the defendants directed their offensive re marks to the performers on the stage, and after a short interval they left their box and made their way to the lower stalls, where they paraded to and fro, keeping up a running fire of insulting remarks to the audience. On being remonstrated on - their ungentlemanly conduct, they instantly assaulted several ladies and gentlemen in the . company, which improper conduct they persisted in until it was found necessary to stop the performance, and a simultaneous cr y o f " Sh ame — turn t h em ou t," was r aised in all direction s ; a posse of attendants, headed by Saunders, the office r o f t h e saloon, went to them, an d , after an ineffectual attempt to induce them to re sume their place, were obliged by forcible means to effect their expulsion. Their efforts were strenuously re sisted by Siimmonds and Seymour, who threatened to draw swords and cut them down, but before they could do that their weapons were seised by Saunders, who put them out of thier reach. A scene of great uproar en sued, and resulted in the forcible expulsion of the de fendants, and their removal to the station-house. Distinct charges of assault were proved against Sim 'l'3'l4 Seymour, and Harris. Mr. D'Eyncourt fined the first two 40s. and costs, or to be committed for seven days, and Harris, who had been by far the worst, he fined in the full penalty of 5/., or t , ‘ -, 43 months' imprisonment. TH.A.MRS.—Thomas Brookbank, fnrniture dealer and broker, 15, R edman's-ro w , Stepney-green, appeared to _ I answer the cha rge • of stealing the furniture of Mrs. ',r/Catherine Strannueh, a widow lady. 4 ,%; ''' 4 The case was remanded from Thursday last, for the '; (He of obtaining the evidence of Augustus Waller, to. , :.!!!: 1 ho, it was alleged, had been the intermediate agent , , r ,---' c. 4 between the prosecutrix and Broolthank.

He went to Barr-street to see the property, and considered 751. a fair valuation for it, together with the good-will and fixtures. He then described several appointments he had with his client, and his attempts to sell the fur niture, which resulted in an agreement with Brookbank for the sale of a portion for 251. and his receipt of 101., which he gave to Mrs. Strannuch, who returned it to him. He would swear he was the agent of the prosecu trix, and he had black and white to show for it, which, at the request of Mr. Yardley, he produced ; but it tended to prove Mrs. Strannuch would not part with the property for less than 751. A long conversation then took place between the magistrate, Mr. Parry, and Waller, who said he held the money as stakeholder, demanded his expenses, and asked how his character would fare. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—The payment of the 10/. to Brookbank would help his character, and put a stop to the pro ceedings. It was also stated that Waller was an entire stranger to Brookbank, who, if he had received the money back, would not have attempted to forcibly remove the pro perty, under the belief that Waller was Mrs. Strannuch's agent, and that she had received the money through him. Mr. Waller stated that Mrs. Strannuch had no alter native, when she found Brookbank, an utter stranger to her, removing her property, but to give him into cus tody. Mr. Yardley said he had thought from the first there was no case of felony against Mr. Brookbank, and he would leave that court without the slightest imputation on his character, as far as this transaction was con cerned. After Brookbank and his legal adviser had talked about proceedings against Mrs. Strannuch for false im prisonment, and she had several times complained of the violent assaults and threatening language of Brookbank, the magistrate discharged the accused, and said his ex planation was quite satisfactory. HAMMERSMITH.—Lieutenant-Colonel Gloster, of No. 9, Charles-street, Trevor-square, Knightsbridge, was summoned by a cabman, named Walter Pigeon, for refusing to pay him Bd. for a back fare It appeared that the defendant hired the cab at the Junior United Service Club, and rode to his own resi dence, when he 'paid is. 4d., but the complainant de manded Bd. more for back carriage. The chief usher stated that Charles-street was just out side the limits of the metropolis ; but there was a cab. stand in the street. The defendant said he had lived in' Charles-street for the last 20 years, and had been in the habit of riding constantly the same distance. He had always paid the same fare, and had never before been summoned. His house was 780 yards short of two miles from the United Service Club, consequently he might ride to his house and then back to the limits of the metropolis for the fare of ls. 4d. Under these circumstances, it was very hard he should have to pay Bd. more for not riding so far. Mr. Paynter said he was bound by law to allow the complainant the amount of his demand, since he was en titled to charge for back carriage if the place at which he discharged was one yard beyond the limits of the metropolis. He considered the present case, however, very sharp practice, as their was a cab-stand in the same street, and the back fare was by the act Made pay able to the limits of the metropolis, or to the nearest cab-stand. He 'should certainly endeavour to discoun tenance such a practice as the present, and would allow nothing to the complainant for his loss of time. EXECUTION AT YORK. Alfred Waddington, who was condemned at the late winter gaol delivery, by Mr. Justice Talfourd, for mur der at Sheffield, underwent the extreme penalty of the law on Saturday, at 12 o'clock, at the usual place of exe cution adjoining York Castle. The unfortunate young man was only 20 years of age, and he was the father of -an illegitimate child about 20 months old, of which a young woman named Sarah Slater, residing at Sheffield, was the mother. He had been or dered to pay 2s. a week towards the support of the child, whereupon, as it was stated at the trial, his conduct to wards the mother became such as to compel her to make a complaint before the magistrates, and he was bound over to keep the peace for six months. This was eight or nine months before the murder of the child and only two days before its dead body was found the mother had taken out a warrant for his apprehension, on account of his arrears in the weekly payments. Moreover, on the very morning of the day on which the child was murdered, Waddington and the mother had a conversation in reference to his conduct, and her having had to bring him before the magistrates, and he then threatened to blow out her brains, and also that he would play "Rush " upon her. It appears he was quite intent upon carrying his threat into execution, and not only murdered the innocent and unoffending child the same evening, but made an attempt on the life of the mother. She and the child were, at the time in question, living at the house of her mother, and on the 18th of Aug. the infant was given by the grandmother to a little girl, ten years of age, named Martha Barlow, to be taken out for a walk. She met the prisoner in the street, and he took the child from her, and sent the girl away to fetch its mother, saying at the same time to the child, "Come, Elizabeth, let us go a ta-ta." The girl objected, but Waddington took the child, and ran away. That evening the mother was at school for teaching reading, and shortly after eight o'clock the younc , man put his head in at the door, and called out, " SaraliSlater, you're wanted." She went out, and Waddington drew from his pocket a shoe maker's knife, with blood upon it, saying, ":See thee, this is thy child's blood; I have murdered thy child;" and whilst he and the mother were going along he made two or three at tempts to cut her throat with the knife. He also, on meeting with another wonlan named Sarah Dobson (she and Sarah Slater being class-mates), struck her on the face with the knife, with which he inflicted a severe wound. At two o'clock on the following morning, whilst near his own home, and on a policeman coming up, he called out " Watch." The policeman went to him, and he said (no doubt feeling compunction for the grave offence he had committed), " I have murdered a child, take me into custody." He also pulled up his coat sleeve, and requested the officer to put the hand cuffs upon him. From a statement Waddington made on his arrival at the police station, the child was found with the head severed from its body, in Heeley Wood, and a knife was found in the river Sheaf, with which Waddington acknowledged he had cut off the child's head. A memorial to the Throne was signed at Sheffield, praying for a mitigation of Waddington's sentence. The memorial alleged that the prisoner, at the age of eight years, injured his head by falling down a flight of steps, and that, consequently, when under excitment or sudden impulses, he had ever since been quite insane, and un able to discriminate between right and wrong. Lord Palmerston, however, after consulting with the learned judge who tried the prisoner, refused to mitigate the sentence. About seven o'clock Waddington was removed from the condemned cell to a room adjoining the assize courts, and not far from the place where the scaffold was erect ed. At an early hour groups of pedestrians, apparently from a great distance, were seen entering the city to wit ness the melancholy spectacle ; but, contrary to the general rumour, it was denied by the railway authorities that any special arrangements had been made for bring ing passengers from Sheffield to witness the execution. The unfortunate culprit passed most of Friday night in prayer, and before lie left the condemned cell he took an affectionate leave of the persons who had been placed there to attend upon the criminals, as is usually the case. The Rev. T. Sutton, both late on Friday night and yesterday forenoon, attended upon Waddington ; and shortly before noon, Mr. William Gray, the under sheriff, proceeded to the castle, to demand the body in the usual form. The process of pinioning, &c., took place, and as the castle clock struck twelve the proces sion moved towards the scaffold, Waddington walking with a firm step. Nathaniel Howard was the executioner, and after Waddington had spent a few moments in supplication (in which he was audibly heard to exclaim " Lord, re ceive my soul") the executioner proceeded with his painful duty. The bolt was then drawn, and the culprit, whose sufferings appeared to be very slight, was launched into eternity. The number of spectators was very large, amounting to from 8,000 to 10,000, and they conducted themselves in a very orderly and becoming manner. The body, after hanging the usual time, was buried within the precincts of the prison. A FRENCH EXECUTION.—A man named Durand, con demned to death some time ago for having violated a young girl 11 years of age, and then cut her to pieces, has just been executed at Melun. Up to the last mo ment he treated with contempt the exhortations of the priest, and as he walked to the scaffold gaily sung dif ferent airs. On reaching the place of execution he cried, "Ah, ah !we shall see ; what fun 1" With much per suasion he was induced to kneel near the fatal block, and to recite some prayers after the priest, but he did so in a tone of bravado. When, in the midst of them, the priest extended the crucifix to him, he pushed it aside, and said, "Let me be quiet ; I will embrace it afterwards !" Placed on the block, the executioner pre sented him with the cross—he kissed it, and the knife fell. MURDER IN MAYO.—Richard R. O'Grady, Esq., coroner, has just held an inquest at Loughnabo, in the parish of Bohola, on the body of Thomas MrNicholas. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased, with some friends, were returning from a funeral—a solemn ceremonial in that part of the country very frequently converted into a meeting for the exhibition of the most revengeful passions —and having adjourned to a public house in Bohola, where they had some whisky, they were assailed by a party of five 'men in the house, who had just arrived from England, and were much intoxi cated. In the melee the unfortunate deceased was struck with a pitchfork and killed. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against one of the parties named Kenny, and of being " accessaries before the fact " against the remainder. - ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Since the reduction of the standard of height for recruits for this corps a number of fine young men and lads have enlisted, as many on an average as 100 p er wee k h ave b een sent to h ea d -quarters here, addition and to it the will regiment no t takeof 2,0 alo o n o g en which periodt was o complete recently th e voted by the Legislature. Each troop of the Royal Horse Artillery will now have six guns, five light six pounders and one 12-pounder howitzer. The whole of the field batteries will also have six guns in each battery, five nine-pounders and one 24-pounder howitzer ; and, altogether, the Royal Horse Artillery and the Foot Ar tillery field batteries will man and horse 200 guns for home service, and they will always be in such a state of readiness that they can be concentrated in any part of the country and on the coast at the shortest notice, by the * facility now afforded by railway communication. ROBBERY OF £l,OOO WORTH OF JEWELLERY. On Saturday the neighbourhood of Walworth was thrown into the greatest excitement in consequence of a report having 'gained circulation that a most daring and extensive burglary had been committed on the pre mises of Mr. Thos. Prince, the proprietor of the Fancy Repository, 38, Beckford-row, near the Camberwell gate, Walworth-road. Upon inquiry, it was ascertained that the report was unfortunately too well founded, and that Mr. Prince had been plundered of jewellery, vari ous gold and silver articles ' • as also many of a fancy de scription, mounted in gold and silver to the amount of about 1,000/. The mode in which this daring burglary was effected shows that for ingenuity of design, care. fully matured and systematic plans, and the consummate skill with which it was executed, it fairly rivals, or may be said to surpass those recently committed at Jones's, the watchmaker of the" Strand, and Messrs. Deane, Dray, and Co., King Williain-street. Ii appears that on Thursday night a large party of friends had assembled, and of this circumstance it is supposed the depredators had gained infor mation, for they allowed that night to be passed over, and selected the one immediately following, assuming that, from previous fatigue, the family would probably sleep more soundly. Accordingly, in the dead of the night, supposed to have been about three o'clock, a spot about five doors off, occupied by Mr. Thomas Peacock, builder, was selected. To this house a forecourt is attached, and as those of the ad joining houses, on either side, have shops erected thereon, it forms a deep recess. This being only separated, from the highway by a dwarf gate, an entrance as well as concealment are easily accomplished. Against the wall, towards Mr. Prince's premises, is a pile of planks, boards, &c., which, from the foot marks thereon, appears to have been the mode by which the thieves reached the flat roof of the adjoining shop, and from thence passing over four others of a similar description, and immediately contiguous to the windows of several occupied sleeping rooms, including that of Mr. Prince. Over the shop of the latter is a ridge skylight, from the gable end of which two squares of glass were dexterously abstracted and a bar removed. . A very large gimlet was then screwed into part of the skylight frame, from which a rope was thrown down into the shop beneath, into which by such means it would seem the depredators descended. They next proceeded to the shop window, and having broken open several glass show cases stripped them of their valuable contents, consisting of fifty dozen of silver pencil cases (chiefly Mordan's patent), worth in all about 3001. ; about half the number of gold pencil-cases, worth from 30s. to 50s. each ; a quantity of *gold chains, silver and other card cases, silver butter and fruit knives, as also numerous gold set and jewelled brooches, diamond, pearl. and other rings, pins, &c., to an amount and extent which is at present incalculable, but is known to exceed 1,0001. With this valuable booty, by the aid of Mr. Prince's shop-steps, the bur glars escaped through the aperture they had made in the. skylight, though, from the trepidation in which they ap pear to have fled, they must have been disturbed, as they not only left behind them several valuable articles strewed about the shop, but omitted to abstract the con tents of a drawer close to the cases, in which were a number of valuable gold watches, and a considerable sum in gold and silver ; they also left behind them their dark lantern, matches, rope, gimlet, a chisel, and for midable cla'sp-knife, as well as on the roof an old quaint looking umbrella, the handle mounted with gold. As a further proof of the haste in which the retreat was effected, one of the thieves, from the noise which was heard, and the displacement of some of the boards, must evidently have fallen down the pile of timber at Mr. Peacock's before reaching the street. information of this depredation having been forwarded to the police, Sergeant Quinnear with Copping and Baker, detective officers of the P division, repaired to the spot, and are actively engaged in pursuit of the delinquents. STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday. ) MANCELESTER.—There has been a moderate demand this week for printing cloths, shirtings,- longcloths, and T's, at the full prices previously obtainable ; and there is rather more inquiry for domestics, principally for expor tation ; but these articles are still in a most unsatisfac tory state, and stocks must be lessened before they can become remunerative. Very different is the position of the lighter as well as the finer makes of cloth, which are in general well engaged. In yarns, the India houses are now doing less than they were, and the home consumers purchase very cautiously ; whilst the Germans continue quite out of the market. Spinners are, however, for the most part, free from stocks, and pretty well supplied with contracts ;so that prices remain firm. In the earlier part of the week, there was a disposition amongst producers -to harden in their terms arising partly from the advance in cotton in the United States, and partly from an expectation of an augmented demand with the openingyear. The tone of the market has not, how ever, been fully maintained as the week has advanced. This has been more perceptible to-day than it was yes terday, evidently in consequence of the rate of interest having been raised from 2 to 2i per cent. by the Bank of England. The state of the weather, and the heavy orders sent out for foreign wheat, are giving rise to some uneasiness in commercial circles. BRADFORD, Jan. 6.—Our wool market at present pre sents an unusual degree of animation, consequent upon large purchases being made by brokers for shipment to the west ; also by the staplers selling from one to another, either to complete engagements entered into, or on speculation. Be that as it may, prices are now sought by the country dealers quite out of all bounds ; and the buyers for actual consumption feel their posi tion a difficult one, especially when they have to supply old contracts for yarns. Noils and brokes continue active, but do not command price equal to long wools. The transactions in yarns thus far entered into are not so great as in the previous month, owing to the large en gagements of many spinners, and their consequent unwillingness to take orders in addition to those on hand. Many manufacturers have also secured large contracts for yarns, on terms far different to those on which they can now place them ; and as the difficulties of producing them are every day increas ing, the spinners are compelled to seek higher prices. The trade in pieces seems as if it was not governed by the state of either wool, yarn, or cotton. This may in some measure be accounted for by the stock now in pro cess of manufacture being chiefly old purchases, and low prices ore still the result. The relative price of the raw material and woven fabrics is, however, at present very unsatisfactory, and unless the latter ere long command a considerable advance, a stoppage of looms must follow. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY, JAN. 6.—The lace trade continues in a great measure depressed, but a renewal of demand is speedily looked for. The hosiery trade is good in nearly every branch, with a fair prospect of re maining so for a length of. time. There is not any alte ration in the price of yarn. LEICESTER, THURSDAY, JAN. 6.—There is the usual paucity in business attending stock-taking ; stocks in hand perhaps were never lighter at this season, and the year will have proved a prosperous one. The work men on the whole have not been more regularly em ployed for years than up to the present time. The ad vanced rate of worsted and the open weather has checked the demand for goods, particularly 'in the fancy branches. In the brown and grey cotton branch there is a large trade doing ; the circular machinery is also being gradu ally brought to bear in this department, both in middle guages and sham-knits for the lower sorts, and it is a question if in these sorts it will not supersede the wide frames. Cotton yarns are scarce and fully maintain their prices. The new year opens very firm in worsted yarns at the late advance, and no contracts are entered into but at higher rates. A further advance may be ex pected if wools maintain even their present price ; both sorts and skin wools are more difficult to purchase, and woolstaplers state they cannot replace their stocks at the prices now asked by the growers. There is but little wool in their hands and they can afford to hold it ; if the Yorkshire demand does not fail it may yet have an upward tendency.—Leicester journal. THE MURDER AT CARDIFF.—The inquest on the body of Timothy Harrington, who was murdered at the docks at Cardiff, was concluded on Friday. Only two additional witnesses were examined. Policeman George James deposed that on the night of the 27th December he was on duty at the Bute docks, when just before mid night he heard a cry as of some person in pain. He pro ceeded to the spot, and found a man on his hands and knees, who proved to be the deceased. No one was near him. Witness asked what was the matter, when the man answered, "A Greek has stabbed me ;" and he added that the Greek had gone on board his vessel. The deceased almost immediately afterwards fell on his back, and witness, holding down his light, found a pool of blood near him. He immedi ately went in search of assistance, and brought back two other policemen, named Down and Rees, who helped to carry the man to the hospital, where he died as already reported. Mrs. Ann Harry, wife of the land lord of the Duke of Wellington public-house, deposed that the deceased had been in the habit of frequenting her house, and that he was there on the night of the murder. He was sober, and left at 20 minutes to eleven, saying he was going home. He only had a quart of beer at her house. Superintendent Stockdale said no thing had been found on the deceased, and also inti mated that he had no further evidence to offer at present, but he believed the perpetrator of the murder would be discovered. The coroner, addressing the jury, thought he need not trouble them to meet again. It was clear that a murder had been committed by some person or persons, and their verdict should be to that effect. The matter would come now before the magistrates. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of wilful murder against someperson or persons unknown. But although no further evidence was adduced before the coroner, the facts which have since transpired add to the belief that the real murderer has been discovered. After the inquest the two prisoners, Gabriel Gibson the Swede, and Richard Keenan, the Irishman, were taken before the magistrates and again remanded.'

The effect was most successful, the animal not haying evinced the slightest feeling of PaiA. MOO.RE'S DUEL WITH JEFFREY. Mr. Moore's own account of his memorable duel— or rather, no duel—with his critic Mr. Jeffrey, is too long for quotation—but it contains passages which we cannot omit. 'They are additions to what the world already knows on the matter. "In the month of July, 1806, I had come up to London from a visit to Donington-park, having promised my dear and most kind friend, the late Dowager Lady Donegal, to join her and her sister at Worthing. The number of the Edinburgh containing the attack on my Odes and Epistles had been just an nounced. Though, on the first perusal of the article, the contemptuous language, applied to me by the reviewer, a good deal roused my Irish blood, the idea of seriously noticing the attack did not occur to me, I think, till some time after. I remember, at all events, having talked over the article with my friends, Lady Donegal and her sister, in so light and careless a tone as to render them not a little surprised at the explosion which after wards took place. I also well remember that, when the idea of *ling out Jeffrey first suggested itself to me, the necessity I should be under of proceeding to Edin burgh for the purpose, was a considerable drawback on my design, not only from the difficulty I was likely to experience in finding any one to accompany me in so Quixotic an expedition, but also from the actual and but too customary state of my finances, which rendered it doubtful whether I should be able to compass the expense of so long a journey. In this mood of mind I returned to London, and there, whether by good or ill-luck, but in my own opinion the former, there was the identical Jeffrey himself just arrived, on a short visit to his London friends. The first step I took towards my hostile proceeding was to write to Wool riche, a kind and cool headed friend of mine, begging of him to join me in town as soon as possible ; and intimat ing in a few words the nature of the services on which I wanted him. As Woolriche's answer implied delay and deliberation, •it did not suit, of course, my notions of the urgency of the occasion ; and I accordingly applied to my old friend Hume, who without hesitation agreed to be the bearer of my message. It is needless to say that feeling, as I then did, I liked him all the better for his readiness, nor, indeed, am I at all disposed to like him a whit the less for it now. Having now secured my second, I lost no time in drawing up the challenge which he was to deliver ; and as actual combat, not par ley, was my object, I took care to put it out of the power of my antagonist to explain or retract, even if he was so disposed. Of the short note which I sent, the first few lines have long escaped my memory ; but after adverting to some assertion contained in the article, ac cusing me, if I recollect right, of a deliberate intention to corrupt the minds of my readers, I thus proceeded : —` To this I beg leave to answer, You are a liar ; yes, sir, a liar ; and I choose to adopt this harsh and vulgar mode of defiance, in order to prevent at once all equivo cation between us, and to compel you to adopt for your own satisfaction, that alternative which you might otherwise have hesitated in affording to mine.' I am not quite sure as to the exact construction of this latter part of the note, but it was as nearly as possible, I think, in this form." , The angr t y bard borrowed his pistols from the poet, Spencer (now best known by the imitation of his style in The Rejected Addresses), and Spencer was primarily the means of sending the Bow-street myrmidons to Chalk Farm, to stop the two little men from doing murder— " I must have slept pretty well, for Hume, I remem ber, had to wake me in the morning, and the chaise being in readiness, we set off for Chalk Farm. Hume had also taken the precaution of providing a surgeon to be within call. On reaching the ground we found Jeffrey and his party already arrived. I say his "party," for although Horner only was with him, there were, as we afterwards found, two or three ,of his attached friends (and no man, I believe, could ever boast of a greater number), who, in their anxiety for his safety, had accompanied him, and were hovering about the spot. And then was it that for the first time my excellent friend Jeffrey and I met face to face. He was standing with the bag, which contained the pistols, in his hand, while Homer was looking anxiously around. It was agreed that the spot where he found them, which was screened on one side by large trees, would be as good for our pur pose as any we could select ; and Horner, after express ing some anxiety respecting some men whom he had seen suspiciously hovering about, but who now appeared to have departed, retired with Hume behind the trees, for the purpose of loading the pistols, leaving Jeffrey and myself together. All this had occupied but a very few minutes. We, of course, had bowed to each other at meeting ; but the first words I recollect to have passed between us was Jeffrey's saying, on our being left to gether, What a beautiful morning it is ! " Yes,' I an swered, with a slight smile, a morning made for better purposes ; ' to which his only response was a sort• of as senting sigh. As our assistants were not, any more than ourselves, very expert at warlike matters, they were rather slow in their proceedings ; and as Jeffrey and I walked up and down together, we came once in sight of their operations ; upon which I related to him, as rather a propos to the purpose, that Billy Egan, the Irish bar rister, once said, when, as he was sauntering about in like manner while the pistols were loading, his antagonist, a fiery little fellow, called out to him angrily to keep his ground. Don't make yourself unaisy, my dear fellow,' said Egan, sure, isn't it bad enough to take the dose, without being by at the mixing up ? ' Jeffrey had scarcely time to smile at this story, when our two friends, issuing from behind the trees, placed us at our respective posts (the distance, I suppose, having been previously mea sured by them), and put the pistols into our hands. They then retired to a little distance ; the pis tols were . on both sides raised ; and we waited but the signal to fire, when some police officers, whose approach none of us had noticed, and who were within a second of being too late, rushed out from a hedge be hind Jeffrey, and one of them, striking at Jeffrey's pis tol with his staff, knocked it some distance into the field, while another, running over to me, took possession also of mine. We were then replaced in our respective car riages, and conveyed crest-fallen to Bow-street."—From Memoirs of Thomas Moore. THE WEATHER.—It is a remarkable circumstance that an unprecedented quantity of moisture has fallen this season all over this country, Ireland, France, Swit zerland, Germany, and other parts of Europe. In America it has been little better ; in Africa and India, also, an unusual amount of rain has prevailed. Much damage must have been done to the winter cereal crops in this country and Europe generally. THE WEATHER IN IRELAND.—Another violent gale from the S.W. has been blowing for the last 24 hours, accompanied by torrents of rain. Several of the in land mails due at 5 this morning have not yet arrived, the delay being doubtless attributable to the severe state of the weather. The accounts from the country univer sally complain of the backwardness of all agricultural operations. In fact, out-of-door work has been almost completely suspended for some time past. APOTHECARIES' HAW—Names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs day, Jan. 6, 1853 :—John Dunning Tucker, Sheepwash, Devon; William Henry Ayling, Portsmouth. SUICIDE AT PENRITH.—At an early hour on Friday morning, a rumour was circulated at Penrith, which un fortunately proved to be too well founded, that Joseph Daniel, an apprentice with Mr. James Leggett, chemist, druggist, and grocer, had destroyed himself by taking a large quantity of prussic acid. The unfortunate young man was about 18 or 19 years of age, the orphan son and only surviving child of the late Mr. Daniel, of Pen rith, a fine youth, but somewhat reserved and eccentric in his habits. R appeared from the evidence adduced at the coroner's inquest, that Daniel had recently shown symptoms of mental derangement. George Goodburn, a fellow apprentice, in his evidence, produced a phial out of which Daniel had drank the prussic acid. It had contained an ounce of the weaker acid, being two per cent.,and was found on a soap-box standing upright, and empty, with the stopper beside it, close to the spot where deceased had fallen. It appears that Daniel had attempted to poison himself about six months ago with laudanum. He took down a bottle from the shelf, and said to George Goodburn "I'll poison myself." George replied "You're a fool if you do." However, Daniel put the bottle to his mouth, and swallowed a quantity ere Goodburn could knock the bottle from his mouth. Goodburn immediately administered tartar emetic, which brough the poison off his stomach. After he re covered he said to George Goodburn, " I was rare and bad, I'll never try that trick again." The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. The young man ap pears to have destroyed himself for the express purpose of giving annoyance to his master. ROMANTIC AFFAIR IN PARIS.—On Monday evening about ten o'clock, a crowd collected on the Pont Royal, around a young girl, who appeared in great agitation. " The world," she cried, "is nothing. Why live ? Death conceals another existence. You think you die, but, on the contrary, it is then you are born. He calls me. Igo to him ;" And before she could be prevented, she rushed to the other end of the bridge, and climbing on the parapet, threw herself into the Seine. The gene ral clamour gave the alarm to the boatmen near, who jumped into their boats, rowed out into the river, and suc ceeded in saving the young girl. After the first succours had been given her, she was taken before the Commis sary of Police, to whose questions she declared that she was a dressmaker, residing in the Rue St. Hyacinthe. She had been on the point of marrying a young man, when he suddenly died, and her grief for his loss had weakened her mind. It was, she said, in a more violent attack of delirium than usual, that she had thus at tempted to put an end to her misfortunes by suicide. RATIFYING MARRIAGES IN FRANCE.—The Concorde of Rheims states, that last week nineteen marriages took place at the same time in the village of Mazy-Moulins, near Chateau-Thierry. It appears that the cause of this unusual number was that the curd had persuaded the parties concerned to ratify in the church their marriage some years back contracted in the civil form before the municipal officers. The Concorde states that the united ages of the parties thus married exceed two thousand years. STATISTICS OF THE SCOTCH PIG IRON TRADE FOR 1851- 52.—The production during the year 1851 is estimated at 756,000 tons, and during 1852 at 77,000 tons. In 1851 the stock in stores in Glasgow, was 130;000 tons, and in makers' hands and in stores at other ports, 210,000 tons—total, 340,000 tons. In 1852 the stock in stores in Glasgow was 251,000 tons, in makers' hands and in stores at other ports, 189,000 tons—total, 440,000 tons. In 1851 the shipments from all ports in Scotland were 449,000 tons, of which quality 178,000 tons were sent to foreign countries, including tranship ments at Liverpool, and 271,000 tons were sent coast. wise. In 1852, 430,000 tons were shipped from Scot land, of which 212,00 d were sent abroad, including transhipments at Liverpool, and 218,000 coastwise. The smallest number of furnaces in blast during 1851 was 105 in January ; the highest number was in December, 115. In 1852 the lowest number was in the month of July, when there were 106, and in the highest in De cember when there were 113. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE RACES.-1853.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.—A committee was formed early in the spring of last year, with a view to the establishment of a Photographic Society, but the ex istence of the patent rights prevented the object from being carried out at that time. The discussion, how ever, which took place on the subject between Mr. Fox Talbot and the committee, and the appeal made to that gentleman by"the presidents of the Royal Society and the Royal Academy, induced him to abandon them, and, with a slight exception, to leave the act unfettered. This obstacle being removed, the committee have re sumed their labours ; and it is understood that nearly 200 persons have given in their names as desirous to join the society, and that a meeting will shortly be called to launch it, and elect its officers. It is intended to hold meetings once a fortnight during the first year of its formation, when communications will be read, specimens exhibited, and discussion ensue on subjects and novelties connected with the art. Probably a, la boratory will, in time, be established, where experi ments may be carried on and processes tested. A gal lery, too, of photographic pictures will doubtless form part of its proceedings, and remain open during the usual seasons, when the progress of the art will be shown from year to year. The subscription, it is said, is to be one guinea annually, with an entrance fee of one guinea. The bringing together individuals who have hitherto been working at the art, in ignorance of what each was doing, cannot fail to assist in its develop ment. — Journal of the Society of Arts. CANALS.

RAILWAY ROBBERIES AT BRISTOL. —A short while since particulars appeared of an extensive series of rob beries from the goods shed of the Midland, Great West ern, and Exeter Railways, by which very heavy losses were cast upon those companies. All efforts to detect the theives proved for a long time unavailing, but at length, by the exertions of Sergeant Summers, of the detective police, a resp ectable tradesman, named George Denett, who had two considerable businesses as a gro cer, liquor-dealer, and beer-retailer, was arrested as a receiver, and upon one of his houses, which was situated near the goods shed of the• Midland Company, being searched, some knives which had been stolen from one of the parcels were found. He was also indicted for stealing a quantity of silk and twist, the property of the Midland Company, and for receiving the same. He was found g uilty upon each charge, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. P_RICES OF SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List.
