urpose of having them disposed of by auction. Upon the day of sale the harp in question was sold to the plaintiff for the sum of fifteen guineas. Subsequently the harp was recognised by Mrs. Chappell as her property, and proceedings were instituted by her against the plaintiff for the purpose of com pelling him to give up to her the property, which she at length obtained possession of. The present action was brought to recover for the defendant the sum paid for the harp, and also the sum of four guineas, being the amount of the expenses to which the plaintiff had been put by the party claiming the property. The facts of the case were admitted on both sides, and Mr. Humener stated that he was quite content that the case should be decided by three of the jurors, who were present in the box. Baron PLATT said that it struck him that if any person assumed to sell property to any other there was at least an assumed implication either of the rightful possession .3f the property by the vendor, or of a proper authorization of the owner to dispose of the same. A verdict was subsequently taken by consent for the sum of 17 guineas, with liberty for the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) NON-ATTENDANCE OF COUNSEL-FIELD V. MAC- KENZIE-PUBLIC OFFICER. Mr. WATSON attended to show cause why a writ of scire facias should not issue against Mr. John Brook, on a judgment obtained against the defendant, Daniel Mackenzie, as a public officer of the New castle-upon-Tyne Joint-Stock Banking Company. Mr. Martin and Mr. Hill were understood to be engaged on the other side, and a message was sent to them, 'requesting their attendance. The answer brought back by the messenger was, that neither of those Learned Gentlemen, who were engaged in other courts, knew whether or not they were engaged in the case, but that they were desirous that it should be adjourned until to-morrow. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, when a counsel stated he did not know whether or not he was instructed in a particular case, the usual inference was that he was not instructed ; and, as no counsel attended on the other side, he should order the case to be struck out of the list. Mr. WATSON observed that it was customary, in that case, to discharge the rule, with costs. Rule accordingly discharged, with co-ts. The court adjourned at half••past twelve o'clock. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice• Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) IN RE D. E. COLOMBINE. The last examination appointed herein for the 4th November was this day ordered to stand adjourned till the hearing of the petition to annul the fiat. Mr. JAMES RUSSELL applied to have the petition placed in the paper for the last petition day in this term, and agreed that the respondents should be at liberty to file further affidavits against the petition within a fortnight. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs). IN RE CREMER. A dividend meeting was held in the case of this bankrupt, who had carried on business as a merchant in St. Mary Axe. The facts of the case are extra ordinary. It appears that the bankrupt had been appointed co-assignee of a person named Bond, who had kept the Bull Inn, Holborn. His cu-assignee was Mr. Ovenstone, who was recently tried for the desperate attack on Mr. Crawley, of Mark-lane. arising out of the bankruptcy of Bond. On the representations of Bond the business was carried on for the benefit of the creditors, but being deceived by Bond's representation they became liable for rent, taxes, &c, &c., and the bankrupt lost up wards of 500/., whereupon he declared himself bank rupt, and obtained his certificate forthwith. —A divi dend will be declared in a few days. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE SPICER AND FOULTON. To-day a meeting of creditors was held under the fiat issued against these bankrupts, who had carried on business as paper-manufacturers. The proceeding had been carried on under the bankruptcy up to the declaring the dividend, but on application the dividend was postponed in order to give the bankrupts an opportunity, under the 6th and 7th of George IV., to supersede the fiat, nine-tenths of the creditors preferring taking a composition rather than force a sale in the present state of commercial affairs. The creditors present agreed to accept the composition, and signed the resolution necessary to enable the bankrupts to supersede. This course of proceeding is very unusual ; and, The Learned CommissioNEß at first doubted his power to adjourn the dividend for such a purpose. £wo months further time was ultimately granted. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMEs.) GILPIN V. FOSTER. The plaintiff in this suit is a publisher and book seller, and defendant is a bookseller. The action was brought to recover the sum of 311.65. 6d., the balance of an account. The defendant, who had suffered judgment to go by default, now attended, and in addressing the jury, Said that he was not indebted, for the goods were sent on sale or return ; they were, in fact, unsaleable at this time, and a great number were on his hands. The Learned SECONDARY said that the defendant Could not go into that subject now ; he ought to have Pleaded it. The defendant said he had had no opportunity of doin g so, for a day or two after proceedings were iiken, he was compelled to go into St. Bartholomew's ospital as an in-patient. The SECONDARY said that, supposing it to be as S tated by the defendant (which, however, was denied „Y the other side), he was excluded from going into the case; besides which, he had signed an admission that he was originally indebted in the sum of 1071. The defendant said he had admitted that sum to be t he amount o f th e account, and that if there was a u ebt at all, th a t th e balance was correct, excepting a trifle ; but he never intended to admit that he was i nde , bted and would be glad to return the property. The SECONDARY said that as the case stood, the Jury had no alternative than to give a verdict for the a mount. The jury gave a verdict for 311. 6s. 3d.—three- P e nce being disputed. BOW-STREET. —(THIS DAY.) Geor ge Jones was charged with stealing 50 cigars fr om the shop of Mahomed hilowker, a totaeconist, al Little Turnstile. It appeared that on Thursday morning last the pro secutor left hi s s h op f or a f ew mo ments, and during liis abse nce the prisoner entered, and filled his pockets WhilWith c i gars. The prosecutor returned to the shop, 'here he f oun d t h e pr i soner s it t i ng d own .

The prisoner, who had been remanded to this day, committed fur trial. CLERKENIVELL.—(THIS DAY.) Robert Reece was charged with stealing a coat, the Property of Mr. Thomas Turner, of No. 3, Gloucester street, Queen's-square. List night about nine o'clock the door was acci dentally. left c p en b y t h e servant, and the prisoner Slipped into the hall and took the coat which hung Upon the rack. The prosecutor, who was deaf and dumb, identified the coat as his property through the medium of an interpreter. The prisoner, upon whom a bundle of various patterns of picklock keys was found when he was taken into custody, was fully committed for trial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. B ETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TUESDAY.

IVARRINGTON.—DEATII or ANOTIIER RELIEVING OFFICER FROM FEVER.—It is Our painful duty to record th e sudden death of a very valuable and faithful servant, Mr. Cruikshank, the relieving officer and assistant overseer of the town of Warrington. Ile has been a public officer for upwards of twenty one years, and has always been considered one of the cleverest t,ettlement officers in the country. lie was taken unwell last Saturday fortnight, and on Tuesday, the 26th instant, after a very severe attack of typhus fever, expired.— Liverpool Mercury, Woolwidir, Nov. 2.—Myrmidon (iron steam packet), Lieutenant-Commandant C. F. Roberts, arrived from Portsmouth yesterday, and is ordered to be paid off. Stromboli (steam -sloop), Commander Fisher, arrived here yesterday, having recently left the squadron of evolution under Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, C.B. This vessel has been in commission about four years, but is not to be paid off; she is ordered to be commissioned for service for about twelve months longer. Violet (iron steam-packet), Master Commander Sherlock, was docked yesterday, to have her bottom examined. ADMIRALTY, Nov. 2.—APPOINTMENTS.—Captain W. L. Sheringham ; Lieutenants, H. L. Cox and H. G. Veitch ; Master, J. S. Taylor, all additional of Victory, for surveying duties. Commander, G. A. Frazer ; Master, R. Hoskyn ; Midshipman, C. Bul lock, all additional of Crocodile, for surveying duties. The Lord Chl.ncellor will give a Cabinet dinner previous to the opening of Parliament. GLUT OF FRUIT IN EDINBURGH.—The city is at the present time :upplied to an extraordinary extent with green fruits, especially apples. Foreign plums, green, are very plentiful, selling at 3d. per pound, the one-half of what is usually charged for those of home growth, but the latter are finer eating every way. The more favourite descriptions of pears are high priced, selling at 6d. per pound. American grapes are plenty, selling at 7d. per pound. Last week English apples were carted about the streets and cried like "caller herring" at id. a forpit, greatly to the joy of the ju veniles, who, braving the fear of cholic and British cholera, rushed eagerly to receive the delicacy in their bonnets. The accession of fruit and fresh vegetables to the ordinary fare of the people, must, when these edibles are used in moderation, tell favourably upon the general health. Scurvy was beginning to show itself under the fare rendered necessary by the absence of potatoes and other culinary vegetables, but since their appearance we have heard of no complaints. The supply of potatoes in the city is abundant, and the article is generally good ; but the price is so high as to render the better qualities beyond the reach of the poor. It is but a few days since that the best potatoes were selling at ls. 2d. per peck ; good descriptions may now be had for 10d.— Edinburgh paper. . _ DREADFUL SUICIDE.—About half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, a man unknown, of middle stature, dressed in a black coat and vest and corduroy trousers, called at Mr. Farrell's, Temperance Coffee-house, No. 4, Cazneau-street, and asked for the key to look at the next house, which was to be let. The key was given to him by a female, but as it was not returned, she went in about an hour afterwards to ascertain the cause, when sha saw the door of the empty house a-jar, and having gone into the front parlour, saw the key lying upon the chimney-piece. She closed the window, which the man must have opened, and went out, locking the door after her, supposing all to be right. About half-past three o'clock, a person, having got the key to see the house, found the deceased lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor of the first back bed-room, with his throat cut, and a razor lying about a quarter of a yard from him. It appeared that the deceased had, before committing the dreadful deed, taken off his hat and coat, which he had folded up and placed on one side. An inquest will be held on the body to-day.—Liverpool Standard of yes terday. _ _ _ MILITARY OUTRAGE.—Last night, about half past eleven o'clock, a picket of the Royal Marine Artiltery went through Oyster-street in pursuit of a prisoner who has escaped. Imagining that he was concealed in the house occupied by Mrs, Fennell they knocked at the door, but the inmates being all in bed they were refused admittance. The picket immediately :burst open the door with the butt end of their guns and entered the house with drawn swords, to the great terror of the in habitants. Their search proving quite ineffectual, the picket proceeded through the premises into a house in White Hart-row, and searched there. The whole of this time the lost man was standing under a doorway opposite. Inspector Way had to be sent for before the soldiers would remove from the house.—Portsect Advocate. CRIMINAL TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND BEE MEN.—A letter from Bremen, of the 25th alt., informs us that on that day was published there the treaty con cluded on the 10th of July, between France and Bremen, for the reciprocal extradition of criminals. The extra dition does not apply to political offences, or to cases in which there is a prescription. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—MAIDSTONE. The hop picking, we learn, was not entirely over till Wednesday last, when Mr. Browning, a large grower in this neigh bourhood, finished his plantation. The duty is expected to be published to morrow. From all we can gather on the subject, we strongly suspect it will be rather above than be:ow our correspondent's calculations. Our only rule in :these matters is to give as accurate an c stimate as possible.—Maidstone Journal. A WARNING TO TIMID DEPOSITORS.—The follow ing paragt :vb., which we copy from the Liverpool AINn n, ought to operate as a caution to the patties who v. ere last week in such breathless haste to draw their small deposits out of certain local banks, reckless of the mis chief which their conduct occasioned to public credit, and the interests of the town and district. Our con temporary says:—A farmer, who resides near Fezakerly, and who had 2,0001. in Leyland's bank, at Liverpool, went thither on Monday week, and loudly demanded his money. He was told he had net the slights st reascn for alarm, and had better let it remain. This rendered him suspicious, and he said, " Noa ; my wile said aw rnun hey it, an' aw will hey it ; soa give it me." his money was handed to him, and he returned home. That very night, it is said, some adroit Liverpool thieves burst into his house and stole the money. ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS.—Last night, between nine and ten o'cicck, Mrs. Lawrence, of 89, Sloane square, Chelsea, was plundered of her purse containing 531. in gold and Bank a England notes, whilst riding in an omnibus between the Bank and Charing-cross, by a fellow who suddenly quitted the omnibus near St. Clement's-churchyard. When Mrs. Lawrence detected the robbery she instantly informed the conductor, who pursued him and raised an alarmed ; but the fog favoured his escape, and he got clear off. not arrive at Reading stat io n on e Thursday xpres morningE train till QUICK TRAVELLING. —The nearly twenty minutes after it n o vr t as due, but to make up t for h a that h t e h e delaydistance steame between Reading and Paddington n y ic as k was accomplished in 36 minutes, possible at the rate of a mile a minute! 173.era/slnharrol THE STATE OF NENVGATE-MARKET. Conse quence of the petition which has been presented to the Court, rel•tt.irc to the esi.apo of the effluvia from the gully-holes and traps laid down in the above market, and which the inhabitants declare to be insupportable, and praying for what are termed "Walker's traps " to be laid down, and thus replace those already in use, the surveyor and inspector stated that sufficient time had not been given to teet the merits of the new traps. At the same time, if the slaughtermen and butchers continued to force down into the sewers the refuse which ought to be carted away, no improvement that could be made in the traps would ket p the sewers from becoming the re servoirs of decayed animal matter. The further consi deration was, upon the above statement, directed to stand over, and the inspector was directed to lay before the Court all notices of offences ageinst the Act that came under his notice for the purpose of being prose cuted. The contractors for the London and North-Western Railway hove already discharged 2,500 men, and are about to discharge a Ltill larger number. On Saturday last one contractor on the Great Western line gave no tice to 1,400 men, In Lancashire the works in hand are almost wholly stopped, and above 10,000 men are already dismissed. On the whole, up to Saturday last, at least 30,000 navigators had been discharge d ; and it is estimated that before the end of the present month that number will be doubled. Besides these there will be 10,000 mechanics thrown out of employment, most of whom have families dependent on them. Taking the whole into account, we may reeke•n on having to support, this winter, about 150,000 persons of the rail way class, either by poor-rates or by rapine. —Herald. THE RHINE DUTlES.—Reports of the proceedings of the Congress at Mayence for the reduction of the Rhine duties have been forwarded by the different mem bers in Congress to their respective governments, and it is to be hoped that a final decision will soon follow. Two of the states which border on the Rhine have pro posed that the vessels of every flag shall be treated on a equal footing. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—The company have now nearly 2,000 miles of wire laid down. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE PORTSMOUTIT Nov. 2.—The Terrible left at Lisbon on the 28th ult., the following ships, viz. :—St. Vincent, Queen, Vengeance, Canopus, Caledonia, Avenger, Dragon Odin, and Jackal. Sir H. Sey mour and Lady Clinton, from the Howe, on the de parture of the Queen Dowager for Aladeira, have come home in the Terrible. The Queen Dowager landed on the 26th ult., at seven o'clock A.m., for the purpose of visiting Cintra, and returned to the Howe about sunset. On the 26th ult., at two o'clock P.M., the Terrible took the Howe in tow, the vessels of war lying in the Tagus manned yards and gave three cheers on the departure of her Majesty. At five o clock P.M., when off the bar, a heavy sea was expe rienced by the two vessels, causing both hawsers to part, and compelling the Howe to anchor. Every endeavour was made, but in vain, to retake the Howe in tow. The Terrible ultimately anchored ahead of the Howe, keeping her fires up until morn ing, when both vessels again weighed, the Howe for Madeira, under sail, and the Terrible up the river. The Terrible came into harbour this afternoon and landed the marines, who have joined the division head-quarters. The Rhadamanthus steamer sailed this morning for the eastward with the men who brought the Blenheim round to this port. The Castor, 36, Captain Sir C. Graham, C. 8., arrived this afternoon at half-past three o'clock, from the East Indies. SHEERNESS, Nov. I.—The Lucifer is to be pre pared for immediate service. The Salamander is to be sent to Woolwich when ready to receive her machinery. She will then return here to be com pleted for sea, and be prepared for immediate com missioning. The Cyclops is to be rigged and reported when ready for commission, But ships are not in future to be reported as fit for commission till they are in every respect ready to receive their cross. Mr. J. Eddy, boatswain, of this yard has been super annuated on a pension of 125/. per annum. He was one of Nelson's boatswains, and was on board the Monarch at the memorable bombardment of Copen hagen. He now retires after nearly 50 years in her Majesty's service.

Prince Albert, accompanied by the Marquis of Exeter and Sir Charles Wood, enjoyed the sport of shooting this forenoon. His Royal Highness was attended by General Bowles and Captain the llon. Alexander Gordon. The Bishop of Oxford left the Castle to-day. Lord Alfred Paget has arrived at the Castle, and has relieved Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps in the duties of Equerry in Waiting to the Queen ; and Captain the Hon. Alexander Gordon has arrived, and has succeeded Lieutenant-Colonel Seymour in the duties of Equerry in Waiting to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Earl of Morley, Lord in Waiting, left the Castle this morning; Mr. R. Ormsby Gore, Groom in Waiting, also took his departure to-day. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening included the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, the Earl and Countess of Dalhousie, Lord and Lady Beauvale, and the Right llon. Sir Charles and Lady Mary Wood. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester honoured Lord and Lady John Russell with a visit yesterday afternoon, at their residence in Richmond Park. Her Royal Highness partook of a dijeune. Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Joseph, Mr. Bell, Mr. Early, Mr. W. Williams, and Mr. J. Wilson, a depu tation from St. Marylebone, on the subject of mendi cancy in that parish, bad an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office. The Rev. Dr. Newport had an interview with Ear Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. INDSOIL., TUESDAY EVENING.---The arrival of .he reigning Duke of Saxe- Cobourg being still uncertain no arrangements have yet been made for the removal of, the Court to Osborne, as one of the chief objects of his Royal Highness's visit to this country was the accompa nying her Majesty and his royal brother the Prince Consort to that marine palace, and the probability now is that the Court will not leave Windsor before the end of this month or the beginning of the next. At pressnt it is not expected that her Majesty will open the ensuing session of Parliament in person. This morning several of the Prince Consort's hunting stud were sent over to Salt-hill, and at eleven o'clock his Royal Highness, attended by Lord Alfred Paget and Captain Gordon, left the Castle in the mail phaeton to meet General Wemyss and the harriers at Mason's farm in that neighbourhood. The hares were plentiful and the sport excellent. His Royal Highness and at tendants returned to the Castle at two o'clock. Her Majesty and the Court are now in mourning for Count Hugo Mensdorff, eldest son of Count Mensdorff Pouilly. He died at Godfeaberg in the 42d year of his age. He commanded a regiment of Curassiers in the Austrian service. His mother was the eldest sister of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and of the late Duke of Saxe-Cobourg. The Lord Bishop of London held an ordination on Sunday last in the chapel within his palace at Fulham, and ordained the following named persons :—Deacons— Thomas Adolphus Bowden, 8.A., Magdalen Hall, Oxon; William Thomas Bullock, 8.A., Magdalen Hall, Oxon; Henry Irwin Cummins, 8.A., Gonville and Caius Col lege, Cambridge; Arthur Denne Hilton, 8.A., Wadham College, Oxon; Edward John Selwyn, 8.A., Trinity College, Cambridge; John Francis Baynham, B.A. Christ College, Cambridge; and Allen Page Moor, 8.A 1 .`; Trinity College, Cambridge—on letters dimissory from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Priests—William Farmer, 8.A., Trinity College, Dublin; Siegmund Wil helm Koelle, Church Missionary College, Islington ; John Christian Muller, Church Missionary College, Islington ; and William Armstrong Russell, 8.A., Tri nity College, Dublin—for the colonies. William Harvey, 8.A., Brasenose College, Oxon; and Brenehley Kings ford, 8.A., Exeter College, Oxon—on letters dimissory from the Archbishop of Canterbury. A diabolical letter was received by the Mayor of Rochester, on Monday morning, couched in abusive and disgraceful terms, and ending with the recommendation to insure his life, as well as his house, warring him that both were in danger. A similar disgraceful epistle was also sent to Captain Baker. COURT OF SEWERS, GUILDHALL.--Yesterday, at the meeting of the Commissioners of the Court of Sewers, Mr. Deputy Peacock in th e c h a i r , th e report o f the sub-committee, which had been appointed to draw up a memorial to the Court of Common Council, pray ing of the Corporation to apply to Parliament, in the next ensuing session, for an Act to give the Court of Sewers additional powers, so as to enable them to compel the landlords and owners of property to open a drain into the common sewerage of the City of London, and thus improve the sanitary condition of those neighbourhoods at present without a drainage, was brought up. In support of the proposed applica tion, it was shown that some of the sewers, on which several hundreds had been expended, were completely useless, from the landlords refusing to avail themselves of the improvement. The memorial was unanimously agreed to, and ordered to be presented to the next Court of Common Council. THE Foa.—Last evening the metropolis generally was visited with one of the densest fogs that has oc curred here for several years. All navigation by the various steamboats and other craft on the river was sus pended. The scene in many parts of the metropolis was of a singular character, the dim shadow of vehicles and passengers flitting through the fog, aided by the lurid glare of the torches, borne by the numerous link men and boys who suddenly appeared in all directions, creating an effect sufficient to alarm the timid pedestrian. In the neighbourhood of the Elephant and Castle, and other places where coaches and omnibuses are in the habit of stopping, men with links were stationed at short distances from each other, and all opposition by rival omnibus men appeared, by common assent, to be put a stop to, and owing to the caution generally ob served, no accident of a serious nature occurred. By nine o'clock a slight variation took place, the atmosphere being much lighter, but this was only psi tially so, as in many places towards the S. and S.W. it continued as dense as ever. DISINFECTION.—EFFLUVIA ?nom CESSPOOLS.—A number of experiments were tried on Tuesday morning at Hackney, in the presence of several eminent chemists and other persons interested in discoveries of this rature, by way of testing the powers of a, disinfecting fluid, re cently invented by a Mr. Ellerrnan, for the purpose of destroying the noxious vapours and gases arising from drains and cesspools. The following gases are evolved from animal and vegetable matter in a state of putrefac tion and decomposition :—Sulphuretted hydrogen, car buretted hydrogen, and phosphuretted hydrogen. The effect of Mr. Ellermen's disinfecting fluid is to destroy the ammonia, and to unite with these gases in a solid form, in which state they remain in the mass of decay ing matter, instead of being emitted into the atmos phere. Among the experiments tried, was a small quantity of the fluid poured into a tub full of night soil, the disagreeable odour of which was extremely power. ful. Within a few minutes all the characteristic smell of this matter had entirely vanished, leaving, it is true, another in its place—that of the agent by which the change had been effected, but which Mr. Ellerman stated to be entirely innoxious, and which Was merely tem porary. BRODIE AND CO:13 BANKRUPTCY.—SALISDURY, Nov. I.—A circular was sent to most of the largest creditors, of which the following is a copy:—" Salis bury, Oct. 30.—A fiat in bankruptcy being about to issue against Messrs. Brodie and Co., of this city, a meeting will take place on the premises, on the Canal, Salisbury, on Monday morning, at ten o'clock, to obtain the opinions of the creditors as to the persons to be ap pointed creditors' assignees. Your presence at this meeting is particularly requested."—A great number of creditors assembled. On the names of Mr. Fisher, builder, and Mr. Woodland, currier (both of this city), being proposed as assignees by Mr. J. Peniston, it was unanimously resolved to recommend " those two gen tlemen as the creditors' assignees, as men most fitting to protect the general interests of the creditors, from their business-like habits and moral integrity." Mr. Cobb is also expected to be chosen solicitor, the majority of the creditors present approving of the same. The next meet ing will be on Friday next, at ten o'clock. DISEASE AMONGST POTATOES.—As the season for storing potatoes has now arrived, great care ought to be exercised to remove any that are in the slightest degree tainted with last years disease. Numerous cases are occurring in which the disease spreads quickly through the heap, when covered up; and it mutt, we fear, be ad mitted, that though the plant has this year escaped rotting in the fields, yet it has not yet recovered its former healthy constitution; and that where the exter nal air is not freely admitted to them, and they are kept perfectly dry, the putrescent state is very easily induced, especially when the sound heap is exposed to the contagion of diseased potatoes. Some of those sold in our market are now found to be partially infected.— Berunck Warder. HA HINT TO MASTERS WIJO IVANT HEALTHY Ac- TIVE WORK3IEN.—If masters, in districts or towns de ficient in cheap baths, or even where such baths already exist, were to create an increased demand for them by the offer to purchase and distribute tickets, at low prices, amongst their workmen, doubtless both masters anti workmen, as welt as bath-keepers, would derive con siderable profit from the speculation. The moral influence of the masters would thus be brought to bear exactly upon those least likely, yet most requiring, to seek the aid of the flesh brush, the soap, and the bath; and thus additional activity and spirit, as well as health and cleanliness, would be infused into the workshop.— LATEST PRICES OF SHARES, IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER CON PANIES' STOCK.

The very low prices that prevail for green have caused the trade to direct thei r attent i on more to all kinds . the value of low sound 'rwanlcay is 6(1 to 7d, and Hyson ordinary Is to is 2d per lb.l The stock yet shows an increas e over that of 1845 ; but all kinds arc lower in price, an d there is a gr eater iwportation. lircE.—To-day the market was abundantly stipplial with East India Rice, arid the quantity offered at public sale amounted to 9,884 bags ; holders were sellers, but, submitting to a further reduction in prices of 6d to Is, caused near l y the whole to find buyers; Ben gal, good white, but anther broken, went at Ils 6d to 12s, good middling ditto Ils to Ils 6d, middling ditto 10s Gd.

Privately, there has been little passing; we quote Honduras silvers at 3s 9d to ss, and black 5s 4d to 6s 6d per lb. SAGO.—There is a better opinion entertained towards this article ; but at present no advance cats be noticed in the value. Privately, however, several parcels have been sold—low to mid small Pearl at 16s to 18s, and good to fine 19s to 22s per cwt. Sago Flour is little wanted, but, as the supply is small, prices are supported.

The purchases wade in Seal by exporters and the home trade have been trilling, whilst on the part of holders there is a desire to sell. Southern met with morn attention, and as tha supply is less plentiful prices are firmer, whilst sales to a fair extent have been made by private treaty. Sperm met with little attention; holders are still willing sellers, and accept 801 to 931 for good and fine quality; the quantity on offer is more than sufficient for the wants of the trade. There are further arrivals of Oils, but the consumption continues to be very satisfactory, whilst prices arc under those current at this time in the past year. Palm is wanted by ex porters and the home trade, and full rates are obtained. Privately several parcels have been sold.

Olive con tinues to decline in value, whilst exporters and the home trade operate with catnior. Wool.—Since this day week the demand for all de scriptions of Colonial has been limited at the quarterly sales ; although holders have been willing to sell, ac cepted prices 3d to 6d per lb under those of the last auctions. The chief part of the wool passed the hammer has been taken in and withdrawn. TALLOIV.—Theie is no further decline to notice in the value of Russian on the spot, but the home trade has shown more disposition to operate. A good busi ness has been concluded by both soap-makers and chandlers, but the rates taken are 44e 6d to 45s for fine P. Y. Candle, and at which holders are desirous to sell. For deliveries up to the close of the year, there aro sellers at 43s 6d to 445; and for spring months at 44s 6d to 455; but few buyers are to be met with. Home finds a free sale at 45s to 46s nett cash, but the supply is good, and there is a desire to sell at present rates. Other sorts have farther de clined in value, but a fair amount of business has been concluded. At auction 150 boxes of South Americas were sold. DARING AND MURDEROUS ASSAULT. An assault, with intent to rob, was committed upon a workman on Saturday, which, from the ag gravated circumstances of the case, demands more than a mere notice. It will be recollected that, in the report of the destructive fire at Lancefield on Friday evening, it was stated that the warehouses of Messrs. Patrick Robertson and Co., were in con siderable danger. The workmen belonging to the firm who were on the spot, observing that the pro prietor was not present, deemed it expedient about one o'clock A.M. to dispatch one of their number to Mr. Robertson's residence in Buccleuch-street, Garnett-bill, with an intimation of the nature of the fire. This was accordingly done, and the man, after delivering his message, returned to Main-street, an unfinished street leading from Argyle -street up to Blythswood• square. He had got about half- waydown, and was at the open and unprotected part of the road, when three stout men, who had the appearance of carters, darted out from the side of the path, and col lared the unfortunate messenger, roughly demanding where he was going. Thinking they were but in jest he told them where he had been, and entreated them to let him pass, but the only reply he re ceiyed was a blow hich felled him to the ground. One of the ruffians then threw himself on the poor man, and the other two commenced to rifle his pockets. In their savage haste—for the man called out for assistance—they had apparently used a knife to tear open his clothes, as he felt a sharp weapon grazing along his skin while they were handling him very roughly. Dreadfully alarmed, the poor fellow naturally thought they had a design to murder him, and contrived to get his clasp knife out of his pocket, which he opened, and by a desperate effort turned himself over, and stabbed in the groin the man who was holding him. The stab must have been a severe one, if it do not prove ultimately fatal, as the man immediately after re ceiving it fell back heavily. His comrades, seeing the condition he was in, slunk behind, and thus allowed the workman, who was in a terrible state of excitement, an opportunity of effecting . his escape from them. Having found three policemen in Argyle street, be communicated to them the particulars of the attack, and they immediately proceeded to the spot, but the vagabonds had made good their retreat, carrying with them their wounded com panion. 'The clothes which the man had on, when attacked in this murderous manner, were in nume rous parts completely cut through, and a deep scar in his left arm, and three cuts on his breast, attest the ruthless nature of the assault which was made upon him. We sincerely trust that the miscreants will speedily be apprehended.—North British Mail of Monday. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sits,—lf your announcement of the stoppage of Messrs. Holdsworth, of Glasgow, refers to us, we beg to say the announcement is untrue. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, ITENEY lIOULDSIVORTII AND SONS. GlaTow, NovernbLr was driven through the bar do or of Mr. Southall , of the Lord Nelson, Old - Kent-road, pored at the time to have b een a stone. DIAI2OI.ICAT:ACT. — L ast e venin g , a bout six o'clock, a ball from an air gu n hadS E c u n t r v c %c . l , was t ur the inmates recovered from the shock occa sioned by this dastardly act than, on Mrs. Southall's proceeding to one of the bed chambers above, a second ball was discharged, piercing the bed-room window and striking the b,.d-putt. The ball was picked up in this last case, and at once proved the instrument employed for this wanton and diabolical attack. Mr. Southall, the landlord, a must respectable man, was quickly on the alert, and having ascertained that certain parties using the house had been heard to utter threats of "serving him out," he caused one of the parties to be arrested the same evening, and it is hoped and expected that cir cumstances will transpire to furnish sufficient evidence to fix the act on the guilty party ; but at present, from prudential motives, it would be unwise to enter more fully on the subject. Fortunately, no damage was done by either discharge further than breaking the squares of glass through which the bullets passed. The first bullet has not yet been discovered—Front a Corre spondent. . a borne.
