rviW N. EY MARTIET AND COMryIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market on Saturday closed with a steady appearance, and prices were firmer. The sales were 5,000 bales. An improved feel ing was manifested in the railway share market, and a large amount of losiness was transacted. The condition of trade in th 3 textile manufac turing districts continues very depressed, and no sensible improvement can be expected while the terms of discount aro maintained. Since the suspension of the Bank Act, however, a much better feeling has prevailed, and the adviccs from India have given satisf-action iu particular branches. Two or three other failures have oc curred which have increased the uneasiness which previously existed. In the iron districts business is necessarily very dull, but there is a hopeful feeling despite the discontinuance of American orders. During the last two or three days the demand for money, though still very active, has slightly abated, and the suspension of the Bank Act has pro duced greater confidence. The commercial public now merely supply their immediate wants, whereas before they obtained more than they required, lest they should find further difficulties in getting ac commodated hereafter. An impression now prevails that some relief, and, perhaps, a small reduction in the terms, will be experienced, so that the present applications for discount are on a com paratively moderato scale. At the same time, how ever, the failure of weak firms cannot be prevented, and two or three are almost daily added to the list. Although most of them are not of public interest tleey fully prove the injurious effects of the crisis. The latest accounts from India and America, however, are of an encouraging descrip tion, and will no doubt tend to promote an im proved feeling in commercial circles. The failure of two firms engaged in the corn trade have been announced this morning, the esti mated liabilities in each case ranging from 40,0001 0 50,0001. Considering the recent depreciation o: Cereals, and the additional heaviness occasioned by the permission to export corn from France, them) Casualties cannot excite surprise. It is very pro bable that before the end of the year other firms in this branch of business will succumb. Two or three vessels with large amounts of specie from Australia must now be near at hand, and if they should arrive during the next few days, they will, no doubt, be productive of great benefit. The position of the Bank is still very unfavourable, and much worse than has been known for many years. In order to increase their available assets, it is imagined that they are selling stock to a con siderable extent, and as much as 300,0001. has been disposed of this morning. It is impossible, how ever, to imagine that they can retrieve their posi tion with rapidity after such a violent strain upon their resources, but the pressure having somewhat abated, there is now every reason to believe that a gradual improvement will take place. The Seringapatam left the Colony on the 15th August with 12,180 ounces, and the E,sex, on the 2d September, with 105,255 ounces of gold. The English Stock market opened with a firm appearance, and the tendency was upwards, but soon afterwards the Government broker became a seller, and his operations had a marked effect in spite of money purchases. A decline oft per cent. took place, and it is said that as much as 300,0001. stock has been sold. The news from America is considered favourable, but a good deal of anxiety is felt relative to the approaching meeting of Par liament. Console have been 4 89 g-a, and 89;i For account, the prices were 903 to 904, and 891 to 90. They are now 89i and 89 90, respectively. The New 3 per Cents. are 881 the Reduced 881 Exchequer Bills, 20s. to 15s. discount, and the Bonds, 98 to 98k. Th e but Market for Foreign Stocks remains quiet, 5 in aome instances rather lower prices are cur- 2 ren t t. Turkish Six per C e nt s . are 87i 88 ; and 1 t he 4 per Cents. 961 97; Spanish Deferred are 251 ; .1 4e xicall, 18 ; 6 per Cents., 101; and L 2 Uteh, 2i per Cents., 64.

Thero has been rather more firmness in the Railway Share Market, the settlement of the accounts having passed off satisfactorily.

London Joint-Stock have de clined ss. ; London and Westminster 11. Oriental Bank improved lb. Canada Land Shares have declined 21., and Royal Mail Steam advanced 11. to 11. 10s.

Nouradjah is now 92 years of age, and it was only owing to that circumstanc e that he was not shot with hie three eons. The French Embassy has arrived at Singapyre.

The steamship Granada arrived at New York on the 29th ult., with Havannah advices to the 24th. She brought 156,358 dols. in specie.

All breeds told steadily at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of 2d per 81bs.

Although skins and rough fat are falling in price, the mutton trade ruled steady, at very full quotations; indeed, in some instances, prices had an upward tendency. The general top figure for Downs was 5s 4d ; but a few very superior pens realised 5s 6d per 8113 s. From Ireland 210 sheep were in the market. The supply of calves was very moderate, and the veal trade ruled brisk, at 4d to 8d per 81bs above Monday's currency. The top quotation for veal was 5s 4d per 811 m.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Since Monday last the arrival of potatoes, coastwise and by railway, have been only modorato. From abroad we have received a full average supply, viz., 49 tons from CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday were onl► moderate ; neverthe less, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and prices were rather drooping. Barley was is to 2s lower, and all other articles had a downward tendency. The French markets have become somewhat firmer owing to a decree having been issued allowing the export of native produce. In the other continental markets the trade generally has ruled heavy. The American markets have shown more animation. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were only moderate. From abroad, the imports were extensive :-23,614 quarters of wheat, 10,229 of barley, (0,879 of oats, 250 of rye, 1,800 of beans, 4,328 of peas, 4,520 of linseed, 100 of sundry seeds, 1,863 sacks, and 535 barrels of flour. The supply of wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, was only moderate ; and the arrivals by land carriage were by no means extensive. The show of samples, however, was good, as a portion of last week's unsold supply was again brought forward. The trade was in a depressed state, and prices gave way, compared with Monday last, 4s per quar ter. The heaviness in the trade was increased from the fact that two failures in the trade were announced. The estimated liabilities are about 80,0001. We had a very large quantity of foreign wheat on offer. The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and prices of most kinds were nominally 2s. per quarter lower than on this day fortnight. In floating cargoes of grain scarcely any transactions took place, The show of barley, both English and foreign, was again extensive, and the trade ruled heavy, at a further decline in ♦alue of from is. to 2s. per quarter. The malt trade was very dull, and prices had a down ward tendency. Ostend, 40 tons from Frambro% 60 tons from Rotterdam, i tons from Louvaine, 72 ten!

G.iOD FOR, SHREWST Lit s eek as remarkable in m Remarkable for it quantity and remarkalle for its quality. Mr. Topbam, despite the most discouraging dlficulties succeeded in giving his patrons even more than they bargained for, and got up a meeting which for the interest which it excited has never had a superior at Aintree. The style in which Special License galloped away from his opponents, for the Cup, showed that his party had made no idle boast, when they stated that he could give Mcejtissima 6lbs. and a beating. William Day had somehow over-estimated the "form" of St. Giles, who certainlydid not run up to his Spring perform antes. "Isaac," however, as usual, made no very great mistake with Cotswold, and it was not until Special License came with such force into the betting that his confidence was shaken. The number of 2-yr-olds which were brought out at Liverpool formed not one of the least important " features" of the meeting. The last scene of all, which ends the strange eventful history of the racing season, 1857, will be played out at Shrewsbury; for the Ludlow "epilogue" will not attract much attention. With Mr. Frail for the manager, and a hest of well-known performers, there is little doubt of the curtain's going down with eclat. lam really puzzled how to deal with the probabilities, and have the less hesitation in making this confes sion, because the leading sporting journal also expresses its disinclination to calcalate the Shrews lury chances. Rumours of horses intended, and horses not intended, are plentiful enough, and as at this period of the year everybody is bent on putting money in his purse, people must exercise some little caution in their speculations. How Mr. Frail manages to compile so formidable a programme as that which he annually iB3lltll, astonishes the uninitiated, and how he succeeds in commanding large fields is a matter of sur prise, even to those persons who are pretty well ac quainted with the working of racing affairs. The two top weights, Pole Star and Leamington, have been struck out of the Shrewsbury Handicap. Hobgoblin and Rosati are not unfavourably weighted, and with "Somerset to help me" I shall stand them against the field. Cotswold,Laverna, and Special License have incurred penalties which must more or less spoil their chances for their respective engagements at Shrewsbury. I shall therefore place them "out " of the Corporation Plate, and select Mabel and Badsworth. M. Dobler and the Plush colt are seemingly as well in as anything for the Column Plate. For the Steeplechase I shall be inclined to trust Knigh of the Shire and Minor. A discussion of Thursday's racing must be postponed until Wednesday afternoon, when I shall at least have a knowledge of the horses arrived to guide me. A FRESII MAN. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE MONETARY CRISIS. The step just taken by the Government towards the casement of the money pressure does not appear to have given general satisfaction this side of the water. The _Evening Mail unreservedly condemns the Ministerial panacea, observing : " Baseless speculative trading in Glasgow and the grossest banking mismanagement caused a number of commercial failures in that city, and ultimately the stoppage of two banks largely used by the class of small depositors. A run upo❑ other Glasgow banks was the result, and such a popular commo tion as was sufficient to frighten Lord Palmerston from his propriety. Not knowing what else to do, he determined, at all events, not to be beaten by Lord John Russell, and from that determination sprang the letter which it appears was neither sug gested nor approved by the Bank. The best result we can hop• for is that no serious harm may be done ; but it is greatly to be regretted that sufficient firmness did not remain in the Treasury counsels to wait a few hours for the turning point towards which the natural process of cure was fast advanc ing." The Evening Post, on the other hand, contends that some relaxation had become absolutely neces sary, not to uphold concerns that ought to suffer for improvidence, but to provide for the require ments of legitimate trade. The remedy adopted in 1847, the Post maintains, was the obvious one to be applied in the present crisis, and adds : " In Ireland, as we have often already stated, and as events have proved, there has been none of that system of reckless over-trading which has caused so much calamity in England and Scotland. Here trade generally is sound, payments are punc tual, and mercantile credit was never higher. We use the term credit' as a conventional phrase ; for capital is most abundant for all legitimate purposes in Dublin, and there really is less of a credit system than, perhaps, at any former period. Irish capitalists are availing them selves of the high rates of interest for loans on Government security in England, and investments are so largely made that Government Stock to a consideraile amount has been transferred to Ire land even during the last two months. Neverthe less, we rejoice at the symptoms of improvement that have been manifested in England and Scot land since the announcement of the letter of Lord Palmerston, allowing the Bask of England to in crease its issues. The panic, now at an end, has been 'short, sharp, and decisive'—not more than a fortnight iu duration in Great Britain, but here we had the opportunity of contemplating its effects at a safe distance from the scene of disaster. This is the first time in our history, perhaps, that Ireland has thus been distinguished at once for prudence and prosperity. Already we have reaped the re ward, and hereafter we shall find the advantages of the reputation we have acquired for that sound mercantile credit and prudent conduct of our bank ing business which have so effectually protected us during the severe commercial crisis of 1857." WOOL. The public sales of colonial wool have commenced heav ily. Some rather large quantities have been withdrawn up to this time, and prices show a decline compared with the previous auctions of from 2:3d to 3d per lb.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, and Justices _ Coleridge and Wightman.) CREMORNE GA.RDENS-SIIIPSON V. CIRTER. Mr. James, Q.C., said, in this case a rule had been issued calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why certain interrogatories should not be propounded to the plaintiff by the defendant, and why he should answer the same within 10 days. This was an action for slan der, brought by Mr. Simpson, proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, against the defendant, for charging him, as proprietor of these gardens, in allowing conduct to go on there of a character to corrupt the 'morals of the public. Lord Campbell said the Court did not grant the rule calling on the plaintiff to answer the interrogations, but to show cause why they should not be propounded. Mr. James said the rule was for both. Lord Campbell—The court never said the plaintiff should be compelled to answer them. Mr. James said that when the rule was moved it was stated that Mr. Simpson declined to answer them on the ground that he might criminate himself. No such refusal was ever made by Mr. Simpson, but only to the extraordinary nature of the interrogations, asking him to answer facts not within his knowledge, such as " Are you not aware that after parties had left the gardens ladies were guilty of in decent conduct on their way home to London." It was utterly impossible for Mr. Simpson to answer such ques - tions. He had no desire to screen himself or evade an. swering the question, and he would do so in the bes way be could. Lord Campbell said that when the rule wag moved, he had no doubt Mr. Simpson would be willing to answer all the interrogations he could. Mr. James said it was perfectly absurd to expset Mr. Simpson to be able to answer for the conduct of parties Gil his premises. Mr. Justice Wightman said the rule was granted to exhibit interrogatories. Mr. Keane said he moved for the rule, and it was drawn up in the terms of the section, but by some mie• take the words were introduced calling on the plaintiff to answer the interrogatories. The rule was made absolute for propounding the in terrogators. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO INDISCRIMINATE ALMS GIVER.—Jane Rodgers, a dirty, dissipated, middle-aged woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with being drunk and begging. It appeared from the evidence of police-constable 175 C, that on the previous night he was on 6nty in plain clothes, in the Haymarket, when he saw the prisoner, who was much intoxicated, go up to seve ral ladies and gentleman, and solicit aims. In some instances she succeeded, in others she did not, and at last she came up to him, and after telling him a pitiful tale, requested him to give her a penny, with which to buy bread, as she was literally starving. He told her to be off, when she went up to a gentleman, who pitying her distress gave her sixpence. She no sooner received the money, than she entered a pub ha house. She spent the money in gin, then re turned to the streets. He then took her into cus• toddy. She was sent to prison for a mouth with hard labour. EXECUTION OF DAVIS (THIS DA r. At eight o'clock this morning, Ti 101112.9 Robert Davis, a fancy carpenter, was executed in front of Newgate for the murder of his wife, by cutting her throat at their lodgings, Dorset.street, Balls Pond, Islington. The crowd in front of the jail was less numerous than on many former occasions, but still there were before the scaffold some 5,000 or 6,000 of the worst sort of people London can produce. At half-past seven o'clock this morning Mr. Sheriff Allen and Mr. Under Sheriff Parker arrived at the jail and were soon afterwards followed by Mr. Sheriff Law rence. At a quarter to eight o'clock they, with the governor (Mr. Wetherhead), the Rev. Mr. Plaire, and Mr. Under Sheriff Millard proceeded to the prisoner's cell, where he was found standing with his hands clasped in the same manner as he stood at the trial, muttering, " Lord have mercy on my soul. I am in. nocent of all knowledge of the crime. I die a dread ful death, but innocent of any intention." Mr. Under Sheriff Parker asked him, now that he was so near death, whether he persisted in his statement, to which he replied earnestly, " I do, Ido ; before God and man I mu innocent of any knowledge of the act ;" and in reply to repeated questions he said that it had been his only consolation in all his troubles to know that he was innocent of any knowledge of committing the act until some hours afterwards ; that he loved his wife dearly, and that the day on which it was done was the happiest day he had spent, but how mournfully had it turned out. He added that, as far as any man could, he died innocent. Mr. Under-Sheriff Parker and the reverend ordinary repeatedly asked him if he felt that he was truly penitent. His replies were reiterations of his innocence, and the expression of a hope that God would be merciful to him. He desired that one of the warders should deliver some little books to his child, who he hoped would be taken care of now that she had lost both father and mother. Cali...raft was here introduced, and proceeded to adjust the new leather apparatus, during which Davis asked the ordinary to request the executioner, who ever he was, to be as quick as he could, as he did not want to be kept standing to be gazed at by the mob. Having been assured upon that point, he said he would not have minded being shot by some of her Majesty's Foot Guards, as he should then have died the death of a Christian, but now he was going to die the death of a dog. As the last moments which he was to spend on earth arrived, the convict appeared to nerve himself to the utmost, still protesting his innocence. At length the bell tolled and the procession moved on to the scaffold, the rev. ordinary beading the burial service. The coil. vict waled firmly and steadily at the side of Calcraft, shook hands with the warder, bowed to the crowd, and in a few 'moments had suffered the full penalty for his crime. His sufferings did not appear to be severe. Davis was a skilful workman, and frequently earned from 6/. to 7/. a-weeg. He was formerly in the employ went of Sir Joseph Tobin, of Liverpool, as a ship-Wright He was one of the volunteers who offered to go to the Baltic with Sir Charles Napier.

THE CHANCELLOR AND THE ORANGEMEN. The Christ Church (Belfast) Piote,taut Associa tion, headed by the Rev. Dr. Drew, have adopted a series of resolutions menacing Chancellor Brady with "attainder and loss of fortune, liberty, and life," as the just penalty of the unhappy letter ad dressed to the Marquis of Londonderry. Such, at least, seems to be till obvious meaning of the fol lowing resolutions : " hesulved—That the Protestant Association take notice with much regret of the recent letter of the Lord Chancellor. "They respectfully plead with teat high officer of State, and ask whether, in his limitation respe.;t ing candidates for the magistracy, he has not out stepped the limits of the British constitution ; and, if so, whether there be not historical record for showing that by acts of a similar unlawful kind great functionaries have been subjected to attain der and loss of fortune, liberty and life. " They respectfully inquire if the same high offi cer of State reject any candidate on alleged and specified opprobrious grounds, at once insulting to said candidate, and injurious to his position and re putation, whether an actio❑ at law will not lie against the public defamer of any candidate who belongs to a society of proverbial loyalty and unde niable legality. "As to the commemoration of anniversaries, this association respectfully remind him of what occa sioned the visit of William 111. to this country, and how the monarch James 11. and Lord Chan cellor Fittan of those days ceased to hold office. To commemorate the removal of inquisitions kings and statesmen, to glorify God for civil and religious liberty restored, and to keep in endearing remem brance the fathers of the Reformation and the originators of the glorious revolution of 1688 they hold to be a most indispensable and religious duty." VICEREGAL APPOINTMENTS. Capt. Robert Williams, Controller to the House hold of Lord Carlisle, has been appointed to the re ceivership of the Dublin police, vacant by the re tirement, on pension, of Mr. Redmond. The salary is abeut 504. a-rear. Mr. Williams was formerly in the 21st Fusiliers, and has off and on been con nected with the Irish Court since the second Vice royalty of the late Marquis of Anglesey, some 26 years back. He is an especial favourite with all classes in the metropolis. GREATto n some has takeninepllaNce within TEI B CITY.—The the I T lr.—city of n e most o extensive do4nforo,cole fire that time past happened on Saturday morning , t h e premises confectioners, carrying to M on I)ei ein F esrs .h and a Sono, whole sale street, Cripplegato. The building in which e fire commenced was nearly 300 feet long , for of steam en re e tor e te n sigh, and contained property of great value, and apparatus for cutting, mouluing, stamping, and boiling articles of confectionery. The discovery wa s made by a police-rifficer of the city for3e, who at once gave an alarm, and sent off for the fire escapes and en• gioes. In the course of a few minutes the Royal Society's escapes attended, as well as numerous engines of the London brigade, and that of the West of England office, Before, however, sufficient time had elapsed for an engine to be set to work, the fire, seizing upon the great amount of sugared articles in the place, rushed through the upper windows and loopholes in the build. ing. After sevEral hours' hard work the firemen at length got the conflagration subdued, but not until an enormous amount of property was destroyed, including the dressing-rooms and their contents, the stove-rooms, thu juice-rooms, and the jujube warehouses. The rest of the premises and contents are also seriously damaged by fire and water. The firm was insured in the Lan caster, the Northern, the 'Manchester, and Globe fire offices. Five of the Salters' almshouses and some of the houses in Monkweli-street are also much damaged. The origin of the fire is unknown. GELPSMS IN THE NETV FOat:ST. -.R3tr.- , -- the ve%v Ji rein a class of Ind Ct9:6, I These rwrsons by virtue of a ling existing l custom and usage, establi s h e d th emselves as sepa rate and distinct colonies, which are extensively distributed throughout this waste. It is a:: a:cient admitted plea of justification for a perpetual tenancy that if a faintly can erect a house and occupy the same, free from the ill effects of wind and weather, within a space of 24 clear hours, they become, by virtue of such an accom plishment, tenants in foe of the grouud they stand upon, and are suffered. thenceforth to enjoy the same as a perpetual freehold. From this circumstance, either with a view to promote a spirit of social accommodation, or to se tura from external annoyances united support, or both, these people have been progressively en croaching from time immemorial on this sylvan, waste, until they have ultimately succeeded in con structing villages, which they are pleased to term towns, in which they multiply in numbers and. in crime. Being proximate to the coast, immediately op posite the port Cherbourg, and in close connection and constant communication with the Channel Islands, the New Forest presents a most eligible theatre for the encouragement of smuggling, and the greater portion of the inmates of these mud built wigwams are wore or lees in the practice of carrying on an unceasing trade in contraband wares. This lawless practice, combined with deer stealing, and poaching on an u n li m it e d sca l e, may be. ookebd upon as the chief resources of the villages under con sideration. Some years since there was a notorious deer stealer, named Jem Dible, who occupi e d a h ut in "deer-ending-town," near Wyvelly Lodge, the residence of one of the forest keepers of the name of Toomer. This is the person who once succeeded in tutoring a pig he had in his possession to perform the duties of a sporting dog. The porcine quad ruped would gallop by the sides of hedges, through stubble or heath, and wherever he scented fur or feather, would come to a dead stand, and maintain his position as stiff as the s aunchest pointer. This pig Toomer bad for years, and, for his g .od servi ces, spared from the murderous knife of the but cher, so that he might be said to have " saved his bacon." Jem Dible was no less than fifty times in carcerated in Winchester gaol, for longer or shorter terms of imprisonment. He was the most noto rious poacher of the day, and has left behind him a name that will go down with posterity for ages to come in the legendary annals of "feats of the forest." From Dible's school sprang up a race of similar character unrivalled by the " Waltham blacks" for their daring intrepidity. They spread terror in the neighbourhood around. Nor were their pursuits directed to deer stealing and poaching alone ; the farmers' homestead- , were assailed by these noctur nal depredators. Poultry, sheep, and pigs came alike to them ; in fact, they made a trade of their daring ingenuity ; and have been known to have succeeded, without a shadow of suspicion attached to them, of disposing of joints of mutton to the farmers' wives iu the vicinity, which formed a part and parcel of the very sheep that, twenty-four hours before, were grazing on their husbands' lands. A veryremarkatile instance of detection, in relation to one of the Dible's, on the score of sheep stealing, may prove interesting in detail. It happened in the month of December. Mr. Cole, of Bucklands, lost a sheep off his farm during the night; the animal had been killed on the spot on which it was feed ing, and the skin and garbage were abandoned to a ditch hard by. Cole, on discovering his loss, ordered his horse to be saddled, and started off to Rhines field Lodge, the keeper of which, one Bumpstead, kept a brace of highly-trained bloodhounds, which were used for redeeming the red deer that were frequently apt to stray away beyond the forest bounds. These dogs were conveyed in a cart to the field in which the robbery had been committed, and. laid on to the foot track of the perpetrator of the theft, accompanied by Bumpstead, Mr. Cole, and his eon. The scent was q u i c kly acknowledged by the canine retrievers ; they drifted their way at an even pace, overa wild heath, a cold fallow, through a coppice, crossed the high road at G ar lington Mill, through a turnip field, over a stubble, into the high road again, on to Arnewood farm, ran the length of a mile towards Batcbley, when they entered the forest, and uninterruptedly entered Deer-ending town, when they opened with the stentorian salute of "We have found." On the parties entering the premises, in a shed behind the house was the mut ton, cut up ready for retail purposes. The man. Able was so struck with the novel mode of his apprehension that ho credulously fancied the devil had a hand in the whole transaction, and, falling on his knees, implored mercy from . God and man for the criminal act he had committed. He was, however, visited with the usual punishment atten dant upon such a feature of felony at the following assizes, held at Winchester. But, although the New Forest has been for a long course of years the parent of crimes of a like charac ter, nevertheless it may be considered somewhat anomalous in the scale of truth, that the gipsies who are nume rous i n th ese parts, are seldom, if ever, known to trespass upon the possessions of the farmer. These roving tribes are looked upon in the light of the guardians of the housekeeper, rather than as pilferers or plunderers. The farmer feels more satisfied when gipsies encamp near his 1 residence than when they are away. He is safe from the encroachments of his more furtive neigh bours, for the Sybilline fraternity are invariably accompanied by a kennel of restless, impatient curs, which give alarm at the slightest sound of ap proach on the part of any stranger advancing to wards them ; these watch-dogs give the signal for an immediate look out, so that no person can escape the vigilant observation of the staff of the camp. The Lees, the Coopers, and the Stanlevs have, from time immemorial, visited the different farms in the neighbourhood of their Sylvan encampment every year. They on their arrival announce their presence by personally waiting on the respective farmers at their residences ; genera ly begging of the latter a few trusses Gf straw, which constitute the chief of their bed furniture. This boon is in variably afforded them, and in such good faith is the bond of reciprocal accommodation observed that, if any one of the tribe should, under any cir cumstances, betray the trust reposed in hint by committing a depredation on a neighbouring far mer who has befriended them with their necessary wants, that individual is, after undergoing a judi• cial ceremony, reproved by the whole community, and ultimately expelled from the tribe he belonged to, abandoned as au exile and an outcast. A singular instance of this kind occurred about twenty-five years ago, at a place called Bolton Bench, in the fo rest. It happened that a young gipsy boy had been guilty of some act of a nature repugnant to the general understanding of the tribe. He was re moved to a spot a short distance from the camp, and there surrounded by the whole of the brethren, each member having a branch of oak in his or her hand. He was then commanded by the king, who assembled the coun c il, t o wa lk s l ow l y roun d the human circle within arms'-length of the cir cutnstationed group. Dur ng this perambulatory exposure, he received a stroke from the branches that the men and women were provided with. A vessel of ditty water was then soused over him, and he was suffered to boat a hasty retreat from the camp. _ _ Jo - seph Lee was the patriarchal monarch of the gipsi-s, on the above occasion. He was 87 years of age when ho died, having by hook or by crook, as tee saying goes, lumped together a tidy personal estate ; for, according to the accredited reckoning of the gipsey court of "testamentary comtnins," he left behind him no less a sum than six thousand pounds sterling. He hid three daughters, whom he severally named "Faith," " Hope," and " Charity." On Charity Lee, his youn ges t daugh- ter, being married to a ioundman - of the Stanley tribe, it is stated that he presented to the bride groom 3001. worth of plate and jewellery, and 200 _ - bride, fou r 1 ' E . overeigns, and to his daughter, the ' Now Forest ponies, and a saddle and bridle.

The private advices from New York by the North Star state that the news by the Persia which brought out 240,0001., was b e t ter t h an had been P expected. More produce was moving from the West ; the banks were discounting choice paper rather more freely, and the general tone was decidedly better. The belief conse quently was that unless very bad news should arrive from Europe the worst might be considered past.
