The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending October 5 1847, is 245. 3!4d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Oct. 8.) SuoAa.—To-day importers of Raw Sugar experienced some difficulty in preventing prices from further de clining, although the quantity on offer was not quite so large, and there being several inquiries from both the home trade and exporters : on the part of merchants there was, howev , T, loss inclinati on genera ll y to press sales. The demand for West India Muscovado was good for all purposes, and the sales amounted to 550 hhds and tierces, but the reduced rates noticed in our former report were taken. The total sales for the week are 2,280 hhds and fres. The appi arance of the Sugar market was, on the whole, rather better to-day than in the early part of the week. REFINED.—To day Refined goods met with little at. tention from the home trade, and prices continue to give way, brown grocery Lumps selling at 535, and standard Lumps at 53s 6d to 545. In the value of Bonded Crushed Sugar there is no variation; but few buyers are to be met with. MAURITIOB.—This afternoon the quantity submitted to public competition amounted- to 7,581 bags 'of Mau ritius; nearly the whole found buyers, and former rates were supported for brown and inferior yellow and grey, but middling to fine yellow went at 6d per cwt lower; low yellow sold at 34s 6d to 35s 6d, middling 36s to 36s 6d, good 37a to 38s 6d, fine 39s 6d to 425, fine brown 345, good 335, washed 33s to 3ss, and syrupy 28s to 39s 6d per cwt. EAsT,INDIA..—There has been little desire evinced_ to operate ininferior kinds of Madras although:oo4 1r( sellers at very low rates. Of 4,654 bags submitted to public competition a part only sold, and at a reduction on former rates of is to 2s. The better qualities, how ever, met a ith attention, and 4,654 bags of strong white were all sold at public sale, and fetched nearly former rates. Privately a limited amount of business has been con chided in strong yellow at 33s to 36s for low to mid dling, and at 37s to 42a for good to fine. White Bengal is little required, and can be obtained upon rather lower terms; none has been offered at auction, and privately only small purchases have been made—good to fine at 453 to 495, low to middling 42s to 443 6d. For strong yellow a fall in the value of is per cwt has taken place, and a public sale of 931 bags went quietly. FOREION.—This afternoon the quantity of Brazil Su gar offered at public sale amounted to ]7B cases 176 brls and 435 bags, but a small part only sold at about former rates: low and very low went at 34s 6d to 38s, good 39s 6d, ordinary yellow 40s to 41s 6d, middling to good 42s 6d to 43s 6d, low to good grey 42s 6l to 455, middling which was taken in at 46s to 47s per cwt. MoLAssEs.—Holders of West India are unwilling to reduce ther prices. and require lis to 21s for fine qua lity, but the demand has become limited by private treaty, and at auction 47 puns of Barbadoes were taken in at 20s for good quality. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was operated in with caution by private treaty, and 34s to 34s 6d ac cepted for good ordinary. Of Plantation 670 bags at auction were sold at a fall on former rates of is to 24 per cwt.; low middling went at 48s to 49s 6d, fine fine ordinary 46s to 46s 6d, fine ordinary 44s to 455, pea berry 57s to 60s, damaged 3ls to 465, triage 293 to 38s. For public sale 3,000 bags 160 casks, all Plantation, are announced. SPICES.—To-day at public sale 5 pkga Penang Nut megs sold at 2s 10d to 2s 1 Id per lb for middling brown, and at 6d to 10d for wormy. 2 casks Mace, middling 2s 9d, which are full rates. Pepper is still little wanted, and 2,000 robins Malabar were nearly all taken in at 2fd for half heavy. RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with little atten tion, and on the part of merchants there was a desire to realise. At public sale 3,567 bags 1,715 pockets Bengal were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of is to Is 6d. Privately there are sellers of sound Cargo Bengal at 9a for net cash. FRUlT.—Since this day week a greater desire has been evinced on the part of importers of new Valencia Raisins to sell, but having reduced the price to 44s per cwt for first quality occasioned the demand to be good ; an impression, however, exists that quotations will further recede, as arrivals will be heavy this season, and the bulk is likely to be of fine quality. New Turkey pulled Figs are not much required. The importation is likely to be good this year; Mus catel Raisins are offered upon lower terms, but the busi ness concluded has been to a limited extent only at from 504 to 70s; the supply will be good this season. Sul tfaortuove off sl ow l y at 68s to 70s. The market is firm Currants, although there will be a plentiful supply; a ce gg a d i t i rna,anand a exists a t 38 s to 40s for old Zante and ment in the demandi 9s ro t r o c 4 o o , s h f i ( n , r ea r L atr A as t . public COCHINEAL. bags Honduras sil7er afternoon there was no improve. sale 42 were 6 taken in at 4s Sd to 5s ; 12 4s 6d to 5s 9d for low to s9ll' bags Black sold at a s s , and 14 bags Lima at full rates.

Demerara met with little attention, notwitbstaon'T the late considerable fall in the value, and only 5 1 0 nS have been sold this week. In Leeward IsPlaunal the business done has been limited, except there are sellers upon further reduced terms, 1 3 lid to 2s having bout accepted for proof, and Is 10d fur cloudy, whilst the supply continues on the increase. For East India the market has a dull appear ance, and prices keep on the decline, Is 9d to is 10d is the value of proof. In Havannah no sales to report, and not more than Is 7d can be obtained for proof. There are sellers of Brandy Oti low terms, but few buyers met with. either for home use or exportation. Geneva sells slowly at 2s 8d for exportation sort, and at 3s 2d to 3s 6d for fine home consumption kind. For British Corn Spirits the market is quiet at lOs 6d proof. Gin is only in moderate demand; 17 per cent under proof at 9s Bd, and 22 nnder 9s 2d per gallon. INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India commences on Tuesday, and the quantity declared is extensive, amounting to 17,620 chests. Although there are sellers at a reduction on the July rates of ad to 4d per lb., still scarcely any business has been transacted this week either in home trade or shipping sorts. TEA.—The inactivity in the market for all kinds of Black has increased, and there are sellers at a fur ther decline in prices, whilst there is a l arger quan ti t y on offer. Although Congon of the lower kinds can be obtained id to id, and the better sorts Id to 2d per lb, under the rates that existed two week, still little disposition has been shown on the part of the town and country trade to operate by private treaty this week in any kind. Other kinds of black met with a dull sale, and are offered upon rather lower terms. Green Tea of all kinds has been purchased in with caution, and there are sellers at a fall on former rates of id for common, and Id to 2d for the better kinds, whilst there is a plentiful supply. Scented Teas are dull of sale, and rather cheaper. SALTPETRE.—Rough is much required by exporters or the home trade, but in the value we have little varia tion to make known this week, none having been sub mitted to public competition; the tendencp of prices, however, is downwards. The market will be better sup plied shortly, and lower rates are looked for. English Refined met with little attention, and there is a desire to receive contracts at 32s 6d to 335. Nitrate of Soda is dull of sale, and prices are on the decline. Ou.s.—This afternoon, at public sale 50 pipes fine Cochin Cocoa Nut Oil went at much higher rates, and sold at 67s to 70s 9d ; 30 tuns Southern, low to good, 241 to 261; 10 tuns Humpback 231 15s to 261, which are full rates ; 90 tuns Seal in part sold, pale at 274 straw and yellow 241 to 251 ss, brown 231 to 241, and boiled 1915 s to 204 which are lower prices. TaLeow.—This afternoon at public sale 86 casks of Australian Tallow were sold at 44s to 45s 6d for mid• dling to good. 440 casks Taganrog Mutton 44s 3d to 46s 3d, Beef 44s to 45s 9d. CARRIAGE ROBBERT.—Yesterday afternoon the carriage of Mr. Marrable, of Cotta Cottage, Hampstead, whilst waiting for Mrs. Marrable in Regent-street, was plundered of a valuble velvet cloak, lined throughout with sable, ♦alue 50L, a miniature of a gentleman in military costume, set in gold, and encircled with two rows of diamonds, and a quantity of silk mercery &c., that Mrs. Marrable had just purchased. It is suppost d that the robbery was effected by one of those persons who loiter about carriages under the pretence of selling pen cils, &c. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday, as Mr. Ed wards, surgeon, of Ingatestone, Essex, was returning from a professional visit along the Hall-lane, his horse suddenly shied, and bounding from the road, struck its head against a tree with such force that it instantly dropped dead. Mr. Edwards escaped unhurt. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 7. (Before Mr. Commissioner EyAils.) THE BANKRUPTCY OF EDWARD TIBBET. The bankrupt, a diamond merchant, iniriti;-street, Soho, came up for his last examination. Mr. Cooke was counsel, and Mr. Teague, solicitor, for the assignees ; Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupt. The balance-sheet, which extends from February, 1846, to the date of the fiat, April, 1847, contains the following items :—Sundry creditors, 11,241/. ; liabilities, 3,1251; creditors holding security, 6,5561.; goods, 2,8471. To meet those claims there is—pro perty, 1,300/. ; securities in the hands of creditors, 6,514/. ; cottages mortgaged, valued at 1,048/. The losses are set down at 3,4151., the trade expenses at 1,0371., and the domestic expenses at 2671. The London and Westminster Bank are creditors to a small amount. A long and uninteresting examination took place respecting the supposed substitution of opals, tur quoises, and some other precious stones, by the bank rupt, who swore positively that he had not acted in anywise dishonestly. The reverse was not proved, although some suspicious circumstances were deve loped. It appeared, in the course of the examination, that precious stones have, in consequence of the de pressed state of trade and the condition of the money market, experienced a decline in price of from 20 to 30 per cent. His HoNoul adjourned the examination for further inquiry. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT, Oct. 7. (Before D. HEATH, Esq., Judge.) CUSS V. THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. This was an action against the Duke of Brunswick 'or the recovery of 10/. 12s. 6d., alleged to be due from his Serene Highness to the plaintiff, a master chimney-sweeper, for work and labour done. Mr. Braidley appeared in support of the claim, and Mr. Warneford, of Symonds' Inn, on behalf of the Noble Duke, to resist it, on the gr o u n d th a t th e plain tiff had broken contract, and through his negligence his Highness had sustained damage. Mrs. Frances Cuss, plaintiff's wife, deposed that she kept the trade books, and that the bill delivered for the amount now sought to be recovered, which com menced in March, 1844, was quite correct. There was an agreement between his Highness and her hus band respecting sweeping the chimney, while the Duke occupied the house, No. 38, Bryanston-square ; but she knew of none since he had resided at Bruns wick House, New-road. William Matthews, in plaintiff's employ, said that he had been in the habit of sweeping the duke's chim neys both at Bryanston- square and Brunswick House. He recollected in the year 1845 two fires occurring in the kitchen chimney. Mr. WARNEFORD—HOW did they happen ? Wit ness—The first one I don't know how, but the last one;;. the. cook was frying some usages when the pan turned over, and all the fat went into the fire. —(Laughter.) The plaintiff stated, that in March, 1844, he had a written agreement to sweep the Duke's chimneys in Bryanston-square at 2/. a year. In March, 1846, that contract being then concluded, and his Highness having removed to Brunswick House, he told the secretary he could not sweep chimneys and be au,tweralge,forfir!S in. theta : under 5t ss. a year. - This concluded the case.' Mr. WARNEFORD then called Thomas Newson, formerly in the Duke's service, who:said that Elizabeth Kisby, the Duke's cook, blamed the sweep for the fires, and he in return blamed her. The Duke for the fire was summoned to Marylebone Police-office, and fined in penalties alto gether of 5/. 2s. Mr. John William Oddy, the Duke's secretary, stated that on entering his Highness's service he heard of the dispute between the Duke and plaintiff. About eighteen months ago the plaintiff called at the house with his account, when witness told him that the Duke considered he (the plaintiff) was indebted to him 51. 25., money he had paid for the chimney catching fire, and that the Duke would hold him to his contract of 2/. a year and his liability for fire. The plaintiff then went away, and up to the present time continued to sweep the chimneys. The cook, Elizabeth Kisby, who could have proved that the fires origi nated through plaintiff's servant's negligence, was un fortunately out of town. The JUDGE, having read over the evidence, said that a contract had been entered into in 1844 for the plaintiff to sweep the Duke's chimneys at 2/. a year, which would be three years last March ; for the plaintiff, after being told that the Duke would hold him to that contract, had still continued to do that work, and he must consider under these terms. With respect to the plaintiff's liability for the fire, he could not allow any set-off, but if the Duke could establish that fact, he could bring an action against the plaintiff for the recovery of the sums he had paid. Verdict for the plaintiff, 6/. and costa. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL. Yesterday Emma _Mathews, aged nineteen, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged by Mr. John Bonner, builder, of No, 13, Pear Tree court, Clerkenwell, with stealing 81. and upwards, a bill of exchange for 3001., and other property. The prisoner said nothing in her defence to this charge, and was fully committed for trial. The prisoner was next charged by Mrs. Jane An sell, of No. 19, Bennett-street, Clerkenwell, with stealing six gowns and other property.' She had been in the service of the prosecutrix but a short period of time, during which the property was missed. On the Sunday of the robbery at Mr. Bonner's, she asked for leave of absence, which was granted, and she must have proceeded immediately to the house of Mr. Bonner, to commit the robbery. The stolen articles were traced to have been pledged by the prisoner. Police constable 208 G, who apprehended the and found sev e ral b unc h es o f k eys w i t h w hi c h s h e pri soner, gave confirmatory testim on y. H e searc h e d h er, was in the habit of opening doors, &c., for the purpose of plunder, and there was no doubt she was connected with a gang of thieves. Mr. John Theobald, with whom the prisoner had lived as servant, said he discharged the prisoner for robbery, and since she had left, his house had been attempted to be entered and robbed several times. Mr. TYRWUITT inquired whether they received a esera° for referen ce w i t h the prisoner ?—Mr Bonner replied that he h a d no t, h e took her into his service out of charity. She w as sen t to hi m by a ehe b representedourho od , w that here her she parents were had inquired re g r e ay r 8 i i pt 1 u l o ao h tr i i s o pn n e. e o i s g p lh h ee : residing at Peterborough, and she was in great dis tress, and they sympathised for her. The prisoner was fully committed for trial on the charge, and conveyed to Newgate. LAMBETH. Some weeks ago Mr. Joseph Ellis and Mr. Martin Body, both inhabitants of the parish of St. Mary, Newington, had been summoned to this court at the instance of the governors and guardians of that parish, for permitting on their premises the accumulation of offensive matter, which, according to the certificates of two medical gentlemen, was prejudicial to the health of the persons whose habitations were in the neighbourhood thereof, and the case having been made out to the satisfaction of Mr. Elliott, the sitting magistrate, he made an order for the removal of the nuisance. On the 15th of the last month the same parties were again summoned and called on to show cause why the one, Mr. Ellis, should not have an order made upon him for the payment of 241. Bs. to the governors and guardians of the parish, and the other, Mr. B3dy, for 211. 15s. Bd., for their costs and expenses in the matter. From what then transpired it appeared that the parish authorities, instead of having the matter at tended to by their beadle, handed the cases over to Mr. Gedge, their clerk and solicitor, and the conse quence was that that gentleman made out a regular professional bill of items, which, in close lines, filled a sheet of foolscap. The defendants objected to the payment of such exorbitant sums, and one of them, Mr. Body, declared that the moment he had found that his dungheap was pronounced a nuisance, he, in the presence of two of the trustees of the parish, re moved it, and so pleased were those persons with his promptness in the matter, that they assured him he should have nothing to pay. Mr. ELLIOTT admitted that the refusal on the part of the defendants to pay such extravagant bills was magis trate, could not think of compelli ng th em . The cases, p h e e rf s e a c i t d ly , reasonable ab h l a e ye and been just;and he, as a managed by the parish beadle ; at all events there was no necessity for em ploying a solicitor in the matter and making out enormous bills of costs. The clerk of Mr. Gedge, said the charges wen) those usually made by solicitors in professional matters. Mr. ELLIOTT replied that the greater part of them were wholly unnecessary, and the award for the costs was postponed until yesterday ; the magistrate recom mending that in the interim they should be placed before a board of the governors and guardians of the parish for their consideration. Yesterday the clerk of Mr. Gedge attended and informed Mr. Elliott that the guardians would be perfectly satisfied with any sum which his worship thought proper to award. Mr. ELLIOTT here went through the items of the lenghty bills, and that of Mr. Ellis's he reduced to 3/. 14s. 4d., and that of Mr. Body's to 21 19s. 10d., — thus lopping off in the former 201. 13s. Bd., and in the latter 181. 15s. 10d. It was suggested to the magistrate that the bills thus taxed would, if forwarded to the Sanitary Com mission, form instructive documents, and account, in a great measure, for the want of sanitary improve ments in many of the metropolitan parishes. It is more than probable that the ratepayers of the parish will be obliged yet to pay the whole of these bills to the lawyer so unnecessarily employed by their board of governors and guardians. SOU 1W WARK. George Berri (a Frenchman), Bridget Murphy, and Kate Williamson, were charged with stealing eight sovereigns and two half sovereigns, the property of Wm. Cook, a bookseller. The compl a i nan t stated, that b e t ween n i ne an d ten o'clock that m orn i ng h e had occas i on t o ca ll at t h e Bridge H ouse public-h ouse , in Webber-street, and while there he pl ace d e i g h t sovere i gns an d t wo half sovereigns, whi c h were l oose i n hi s po c k e t, i n a p i ece of paper, and deposited them in his left-hand waist coat pocket for safety. Some time afterwards he felt for his money, but could not find it ; and as the prisoners were standing near him at the moment of the discovery of the loss of the sovereigns, and no other persons had approached him, he charged them with the robbery, which they denied, and 13* then called a policeman and gave them into custody. He added, that after the charge was entered in the police-sheet against the parties, he proceeded home, and on pulling o ff his waistc oa t h e di scovere d to his amazement that the money he accused the prisoners with stealing was safe in an inside pocket, which he had forgotten to examine before he made the charge. He now re gretted exceedingly that he had acted so hastily, and was only desirous that the parties should be liberated as soon as possible. The moment he found the sove reigns he repaired to the station-house and notified the fact to the inspector on duty. He here produced the waistcoat for the purpose of showing how the mis take arose, and pointed out a small pocket inside, in which the money was found. He added that he re gretted much having. put the accused to such serious: inconvenience, and was prepared to make every,.repa ration in his power. Mr. Berri said It might all have been pr§vented if the complainant had narrowly examinecthispockets before he made such a serious accusatiouogskinst in nocent persons ; that he (the accused), as well as his fellow priaonere, whom h..> hod oci-ca <acou ben3re tnav morning, were subject to the indignity, of- being led through the streets to the station-hong., as common felons, although they were perfectly innocent of hav ing committed any offence. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said the complainant had exhibited the most unwarrantable haste and negligence in at once jumping to the conclusion, on missing his money, that the accused were the persons who had robbed him; that it was of serious consequence to persons to be charged with sue' an offence, and that it was his bounden duty, before giving them into custody, to have been quite certain that his sovereigns were taken. It appeared, however, that on finding the lost money he had done all in his power to retrieve the error into which he had fallen, by repairing instantly to the station-house where the parties were locked up, and giving notice of the fact. This step was certainly an extenuating circumstance in the case, as well as his having in' open court, expressed his contrition for what had happened; but the question was, whether the injured parties would be satisfied with his expla nation and apology. Mr. Berri said, that as far as he was concerned, he should be satisfied, after the apology made by the complainant, if he consented to place 2L in thepoor boxand,that—he/shauld-take no furthei ststeps ill the 'maTtler cin if o N p e l a ai g n r a e n ed t t a o t the o n c p e r proposal.' accededo s a The to the also exp resse d th e i r acqui e complainant offeri ng t o compen sate proposal, and e a s n the c en two it, youngn the wome nm sate them for the inconvenience to whi c h th ey h a d been subjected. ioco UNCERTAINTY 01 , TUB TIMES.— One of the greatest proofs of the uncertainty of the times is to be found in the strange conduct of the parish clock of St. James's, Westminster. It evinces th e utmost difficulty in meeting its engagements, and h as b een frequently a defaulter in respect to its time bargains. Its hands are thrown out of employ, its works stopped, and numbers are standing idle, which all looks very bad upon the f ace o f it. Several watches that have hitherto been re gulated in their movements by the parish clock of St. James's, are greatly inconvenienced, and it is said that some have actually come to a stoppage. A rumour pre vailed in the City that the old clock of St. Clement's had once more suspended its operations, which, it will be re membered, were only resumed a year or two ago, after a crisis of considerable difficulty. We are happy to find that the rumour is premature, for we passed only yester day at twelve precisely, when the clock of St. Clement's was giving a striking example of what may be done by winding up before it is too late, and by regulating at proper intervals. The Hyde•park clock has gone on so far in a satisfactory manner ; but we believe its liabili ties are only from day to day, and thus there is a key to its punctuality.—Punch. THE ICUTIIYOSAURIN POR THE MANCHESTER GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—We have already mentioned the fact that a tine specimen of this fossil, named ichthyo saurus, as partaking of the most striking characters of the fish on the one hand and the saurian or lizard tribos on the other, had been jointly purchased by James Hey wood, Esq., M.P., F.R.S., and Mr. George Hadfield, for the sum of 1001., and that it was to be presented to the Manchester Geological Society. We may now add, that the specimen is a very fine one, measuring when duly arranged about 16 feet in length ; the whole of the head in excellent preservation ; the body and vertebra gene rally In a tolerably good state ; the hinder part of this fossil animal being the least perfect. It was found in the alum shale at Sand's End, near Whitby, on the pro perty of the Marquis of Normanby, of whom it was pur chased as already stated by the gentlemen named. We understand that this fine fossil has been packed in seven boxes, and it is expfeted will reach Manchester in the course of this week.—Manchester Guardian. A labourer, named William Cooper, who had been at work for one of the sub-contractors, was on his way from Haughley to Bury in the first train, on Monday morning, in a third-class carriage, when his hat flew off, near the Barton-bridge, and being somewhat ine briated he opened tho door of the carriage and jumped out. Immediately on the train reaching Bury, and in formation being given, M r . B run deley, the inspector, and Mr. Dutton, the stati on mas t e r, proceeded with the train engine to his assi s t ance , b u t they found that some workmen had removed hi m t o the gig of Mr. Clements, of the Six Bells Inn, who happened to come up, and who kindly offered to convey the sufferer to the hos pital. He had received a contusion of the head, but no fracture, and will probably be discharged in a few days. —Bury Post. On the night of the 28th ult. three of the persons accused in the affair of the Polish insurrection at Berlin, succeeded in making their escape from a hospital in which they had been confined, under the belief that they were afflicted with mental alienation ; but on the even ing of the next day they all arrived at the Pennsylvanian penitentiary, where their fellow-accused are detained, and re-constituted themselves prisoners. A man named Wurms was lately condemned to death by the Royal Court of Berlin, for having, at the beginning of 1845, organised a conspiracy to overthrow the Government, and to kill all the priests and nobles ; but the King im mediately, and without solicitation, commuted the sen tence into that of confinement for life in the fortress of Spandau. This proceeding is considered a favourable one for the other accused P o l es , a g ainst none of who m are the charges so serious as were those against um STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, OCT. 5. The anticipations of a gradual improvement in the state of business here, which some parties have recently entertained, and which were mainly founded upon the fact that, for three days no additional failures were announced, suf fered a serious blight this morning by the announce ment of the suspension of the house of De Jersey, and Co. ' one of our most extensive foreign agency houses for the purchase of yarn and manufactured goods for the Russian and German markets. The high character for capital, prudence, and stability which the houses of this class have acquired and maintained may be readily conceived, when we state, that during all the severe revulsions to which the trade of this district has been subjected during the last twenty-five years, and notwithstanding the enormous amount of business which they have transacted, not one, so far as we can recollect, has failed in its payments until the present time. Messrs. De Jersey and Co. have always had the the reputation, and, we believe, justly, of possess ing ample capital, at all events for their regular mercantile business, but it is said that, for some time past, they have been largely engaged in the establishment of cotton spinning concerns in Russia, not strictly on their account, but under circumstances which required some considerable advances of capital on their part. The immediate cause of their suspension, however, is the stoppage of their London corre spondents, Messrs. Thomas, Son, and Co., with respect to whom some particulars will be found in another column. With respect to the extent of the liabilities of Messrs. De Jersey and Co., we have not heard even a conjecture. There is no doubt that, at this season of the year, they must be very large, and include, no doubt, a considerable sum for machinery and millwrights' work. We trust, however, that no loss will eventually be sustained; and from the un doubted capital of the house, and the high personal character of the partners, we are induced to place more than ordinary confidence in the assurances which we receive that there is an exceedingly favourable prospect of their being enabled to resume their business, and to meet all their engagements, in the course of a few days. The failure of Messrs. James, Nephew, and Co., mer chants and commission agents, of this town, was also announced this morning. The suspension in this, as in some other cases, has been caused by the previous failures of two large houses for whom Messrs. James and Co. were agents. The liabilities, we understand, are about 22,0001., of which about 11,0001. are due to manufacturers, chiefly in moderate amounts, and we have reason to believe that the stoppage will be merely temporary. We are exceedingly glad to be enabled to announce that the business of the firm of Birley, Corrie, and Co., East India merchants, of this town, which was last week stated to have been suspended, is proceeding as usual. The house, in fact, has never suspended its payments at all ; but having received some remit tances (though not nearly to the amount generally stated) from India, in bills on London houses which have stopped payment, a suspension was contemplated, which, however, was rendered altogether unnecessary by prompt and effectual pecuniary assistance. As we find that some little misconception has prevailed on the point, we think it right to state that the house of Birley, Corrie, and Co. neither ha s nor ever h a d any connection in business with that of Messrs. Birley and Co., the well known cotton spinners and manu facturers of this town. In reference to the failures which took place here last week, we regret to learn that the result of two meetings of creditors have been much more unfa vourable than were previously anticipated. The ap parent assets of Messrs. James Guest and Co. are stated to be so very trifling that we decline to men tion the amount ; and the losses of Mr. J. A. Arm strong;lfroln this and other causes, have been so large, that it ig iipaerstood that the dividend is not likely to exceed 125. in the pound. The principal suspensions at Liverpool during the last few days have been those of Mr. William Maury and Messrs. T. and H. Murray. Of these, the former has already resumed, and the most confident expectations are entertained that the latter will be enabled to do so in a very short time, as their means are understood to be very ample. Of course, under circumstances like those which we have just described, it cannot be expected that much business will be done. The demand, in fact, has been on the most trifling scale, and prices are conse quently almost nominal. Still, we believe, the great majority of the manufacturers show much firmness, and decline to submit, even for immediate payment in cash, to any material reduction. ROCHDALE, OCT. 4.—There has been another good market to-day, and flannels of every description have met with a ready sale, at the average prices of the last three weeks. The transactions in wool have been li i Mited, which may be accounted for, princi pally,-17§ the want of confidence created by the late numerous failures, and the unwillingness of the deal ers till upon the usual credit. There is no change to rii:F;,r4. Iti price. ILararAx, OCT. 2.—The dulness in the piece trade continues unabated. The slight improvement mani fested in the demand for yarn, last week, has been decidedly checked by the tremendous failures in the commercial world, which have created a general feel ing of mistrust, and led to the present course of a still further diminishing production. As it would be na tural to expect, these causes have slightly depressed prices. The stock of long wool in the market con tinues light, with a s►nall quantity arriving from the country, as the farmers have not yet been induced to ask lower rates. What is selling here is a little in favour of the buyer. Short wool remains firm, the slackness of the spinners causing the supply to be very limited. HUDDERSFIELD, OCT. 4 —There has been a consi derable business in low goods. In the better sort of woollens there has also been rather more doing. LEEDS, Ocr. s.—We had a very quiet market to day, and much less business doing than last Satur day. The tightness of the money market cannot but interfere with our trade.—Manchester Guardian. INCENDIARY FIRES. MARCH.—On Wednesday evening an alarm of fire was raised about half-past eight. It was found to proceed from the burning of a stack of straw be longing to Mr. Edward Booth, situate down the White Lion -lane. From circumstances that have transpired, it is feared they will prove this to be the work of an incendiary. The police are making an investigation of the affair, and we hope the resu!t will be more satisfactory than is expected.—Cain bridge Advertiser. We are sorry to state that another fire, believed to be the wc.rk of an incendiary, occurred on the after noon of Wednesday last, on a farm at Papworth, the property of Mr. Allpress. The outbuildings, a con siderable quantity of corn, and part of the dwelling house were destroyed before the flames were arrested. The value of the property thus consigned to destruc tion in pure wantonness of mischief is, we regret to say, very considerable. A fire gleaming in the distance is now a phenomenon as familiar to us as meteors in August. Another was visible from Cam bridge on Thursday evening last, produced, we understand, by another incendiary fire at Aldreth, near Haddenham. The amount of property destroyed we have not learned, but we are happy to be able to state that it was not considerable. Five incendiary fires in one week is too much of a bad thing.—Cant bridge Advertiser. On Thursday morning, at an early hour, the alarm of fire was again raised in this city, and the engines were dispatched to the spot, which proved to be at Coleby Heath, the farmstead of Mr. Charles Lister; a wheat stack, three straw stacks, and other produce were destroyed. The matter is now under investi gation, and there is reason to believe that it is the act of an incendiary, but for the present we deem it prudent simply to name the circumstance.—Lincoln shire Times. COAL PIT ON FIRE.—We are sorry to state that a fire broke out in one of the Duke of Buccleuch's coal pits, at Cannobie, on Saturday, the 18th ult., which, not withstanding the utmost exertions of his Grace's agents and workmen, is still unsubdued. It appears that the workmen, being about to leave off work on the forenoon of the day above-mentioned, were assembled at the bottom of the shaft waiting to be taken out ; but in con sequence of something having got wrong in the works at the top, which required repairs, the men could not be drawn up for some. During the delay thus occasioned, the boys employed in the pit went into the old shaft, lighted a fire, and left it burning. In their absence it communicated with some wood frame-work, and soon spread to the surrounding coal, thus acquiring an aseen- ' dancy that has baffled all endeavours to overcome it. Its appearance is described as that of a furnace. Unfortu nately a supply of water is obtained with difficulty, forty men being employed to hand it to each other before it reaches the pit. Happily the accident has been unac companied with loss of life ; but we understand that three men narrowly escaped suffocation on the first dis covery of the fire.—Carlisle Patriot. The following occurred in a school not 10Qniles from London :—Teacher--" What part of s yeeeh is the word egg?" Boy (hesitating)—" Noun , Sir.' Teacher— " What is its gender ?" Boy (perplexed) — " Can't tell, Sir." Teacher—" Is it masculine, feminine, or neuter ?" Boy (looking sharp) —" Can't say, Sir, till it's hatched." Teacher—" Well, then, my lad, can you tell me the case ?" Boy (quickly)—" Oh. yes, it is the shell, Sir." On Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, a fire broke out in a stack adjoining an off barn, in the occupa tion of Mr. William Cooke, of Risby;.k . and there being no water near, the barn, filled with oats, and two stacks of the same grain, a ltogether the produce of between fifty and sixty acres, were destroyed. The fire was caused by a man who had been thrashing it: the barn on Saturday going into the shed from a beer-s hop with a lighted pipe in his hat, which fell among the .straw, and he, with another man who had laid down in the same place, had a narrow escape from being burnt. He was taken into custody, and examined before the Rev. S. IL Alderson, on Monday, when he was bound over tc appear if called upon.—Bury Post, CORN FROM AMERICA. According to a summary of the progress of com merce in the United States during this year, be ginning at the Ist of September, 1846, to the 31st of August, 1847, it appears that the following quantity of grain has been exported to Europe within that time : Quarters. Wheat and flour 3,382,521 Maize Rye 123,152 Barley 38,544 6,163,899 Of this enormous quantity five millions were son' to England. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS. THE HAGUE, OCT. 2.—The accounts which we have received from Zwolle state that the most fearful hurricane has been raging there and along the coast fur some days past. Great fears were entertained for the new works which are now in course of erection there at the port of Kraggenburg, but although they have been injured they have very happily not been destroyed. THi PRUSSIAN DlRT.—Letters from Berlin state that the United Committee of the States is to meet in November, for the especial purpose of deliberating upon the new penal code which has just been printed at the Government printing-office. The Provincial Diets are then to meet till the spring, to consult upon the communal administrations. MUNICH, SEPT. 30.—Last night was the preli minary meeting of the Chamber of the States- General, when their Imperial Highnesses Prince Luitpold and Prince Adelbert were present. Six committees were chosen:---I. Subjects connected with the Administration. 11. Taxes. HI. Internal Ad ministration. IV. Payment of the National Debt. V. Inquiring into grievances. VI. Examination of the motions of Members of the Council of the Empire. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 15.—An official report from the Governor of Dshidda mentions the revolu tionary attempts of Sheik Faisal Ben Turki, and the successful results of an expedition, consisting of re gular and irregul ar t roops , which, by command of the Porte, were led against him by the Emir of Mecca. Sheik Faisal being driven to extremities by the Ot toman troops, avoided a decision by force of arms, and voluntarily submitted to the Commander-in-Chief.

STROUD.—EarIy on Monday morning, four chil dren of a men named Tilley, of Pithcombe, were seized with such violent symptoms as to require medical assist ance, and accordingly a surgeon was sent for from Stroud, Rho found all the children labouring under fleets such as are produced by irritant poisons. Anti dotes. were therefore promptly a d m i n i s t ere d, an d it was found on analysis that arsenic had been swallowed. It was also ascertained that only half an hour before they became ill, they had each of them. partaken of some pudding, which was charitably given to them by friends of a deceased person in the neighbourhood; and which pudding was also found to contain arsenic. This led to lan investigation by the coroner, who ordered a post mortem examination of the deceased, when the stomach was found to contain arsenic. Portions of the pudding were also found in the stomach. Until the children became ill, no one had the slightest . suspicion that the deceased's death had been caused by poison. One of the children, a little boy, aged II years, died on Thursday afternoon, and it is the opinion that the sister, a little girl, will very quickly follow. The eldest son, a loung man nineteen years of age, is lying in a dangerous state, and only the youngest child, three years old, is likely to escape. The adjourned inquest on the deceased, froin whose house the pudding was brought, was held yes terday morning, hut the particulars have not yet reached us.—Gloucester Journal. FEMALE LYNCH LAW.—Last week a novel scene, which attracted considerable attention, was enacted in one 3f the hop gardens at the Elms Farm, in the neigh bouring parish of Iden. It appears that on the day pre vious, a man from Woodchurch, Kent, who was engaged in the hap picking on the farm, had, in the most inde cent manner, beat his wife in the way that some parents punish their children. A number of females (also from Woodchurch), who were picking at another farm in the parish, having heard of the treatment that one of their own sex had been subjected to, determined upon inflict ing summary punishment on the offender. They ac cordingly provided themselves with bunches of stinging nettles and hop bines, proceeded en masse to the garden, where the culprit was at work pulling poles. Having, by a ruse, dispossessed him of his bill (used in cutting away the bines) they at once commence their work of castigation by a process well know to school-boy! as " birching," ftDri having at length satisfied their notions of justice, they released the culprit, who having suffered, not from the " stings and arrows of outrageous fortune," but from the equally smarting and more tangible effects of nettles and hop bines, gladly availed himself of the opportunity to retire, looking as happy as if he had stumbled into a wasp's nest.—Sussex Advertiser. VESSEL ABANDONED AT SEA.—About six o'clock on Wednesday morning, Captain Togher, in command of the St. Patrick steam-ship, of Drogheda, on his voyage from Liverpool, observed a vessel dismantled and rolling on the waves, the sea breaking over her, about six miles north of the Skerriee, on the coast of Wales. Ile im mediately bore down, and discovered that the vessel had lost her bowsprit, mainmast, and foretop, and received some damage in her bows. He sent out a boat with five men to board her and make an examination of her con dition. They found no person whatever on board, but discovered that she had made nineteen inches of water. Captain Togher then sent two of his best hawsers to her and took her in tow, leaving the five men on board to work her, and pay attention to the tow ropes. At eight, A.M., the wind increased blowing from the south, which caused a heavy cross sea, and with great difficulty he brought her to the Irish coast , having , during the passage, broke tow ropes twice. The vessel thus found abandoned is a brigantine named the.Branstye of White haven, and was bound from Cardiff, in Wales, for Liver pool, laden with 1 50 tons of iron , rails for some railway. We have learned this morning (Saturday) from Liver pool, that the accident was caused by collision with a Boston ship, inward bound. One of the crew of the brigantine was killed by a full from the mast, and knocked overboard. The Branstye and her cargo are worth nearly 3,000/. —Drogheda Argus. SALE OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—TRANSFER or THE TRUST.—The Dock Commissioners of Birken head held a special general meeting yesterday (Holiday for the transaction of some important busin ess conta i ned ' considering in the following notice of motion :---"The commissio are as t requested A :31 for purpose u Monday, rseof the co 4thnsg h instant, ners at e h p a r l o f . - p priety of authorizing the Ch a i rman and certain other parties to enter into negotiations with a view to trans ferring the Birkenhead Dock Trust t t t o er s e u s e t honf negotiations being and certain parties to be named, upon such conditions to certain • 'the in board."

We may mention, however, a current report t h at t h e b usiness transacte d at th e meeting was said to be the adoption of a motion authorizing Messrs. Mallaby, Jackson, and potter to treat with three other gentlemen connected with the Liverpool corporation for the sale of the Birkenhead Docks, and the transfer of the Dock Trust to the dock committee of this town.— Liverpool Times. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Amphion, auxi liary screw steam frigate, of 300 horse-power and 36 guns, Captain W. J. Williams, was towed from the harbour to Spithead, this morning, by the Echo tug. The Victoria and Albert royal yacht, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, was taken out of dock to-day, not the slightest mark of having taken the ground being dis cernible upon her bottom. She and the Fairy have been removed to their usual moorings up the harbour. The Hon. H. T. L. Corry, late Secretary to the Admiralty, and Captain Brandreth, R.E., late Director of Engineering and Architectural Works to the Board, made an inspection of the new steam basin works this morning, and expressed themselves in most unqualified admiration of their progress. Mr. Percy Doyle, Minister to Mexi co , w ill arr i ve here to morrow, and embark in the Vixen steam sloop, Commander Ryder, on Saturday, for the seat of his mission. The Bellerophon, 78, Captain R. L. Baynes, C. 8., was docked to .day, on the removal of the royal yacht, to have her copper examined and cleaned. She has entered many good hands. The Rhadamanthus steam troop-ship, Lieutenant- Commander Aylen, is receiving an overhaul and re fitment in this harbour prior to further service. The weather during the early part of this day has been very foul, heavy rain descending from an early hour until two P.M. At five P.M. it is clear, but un settled. Wind N. by W., moderate breezes.

Every man, woman, and child in the town, and for miles round, is familiar. with his name. Up the Stour and the Avon, away over the green fields and through the bosky paths to Shottery and Charlecote, to Drayton Bushes and Wellesbourn Wood, the name of Shakspere is held in reverence by the rural population; and the town itself seems to subsist solely upon the glory of having given him birth. You find some remembrance of him at every turn. Rude effigies and busts of Shakspere, prints of his house, of the Grammar-school where he was educated, of the gate of Charlecote, where he is said to have pinned up the' lampoon on Sir Thomas Lucy, of Anne Ilathaway's cot tage, where he so often made love in the chimney nook, and of every spot known, or supposed to be associated with his life, even to the mulberry -tree he planted, and the crab-tree, under which a loose tradition says he once slept after a night's carousal, are scattered about in the shoos and stalls. Wherever you move, you are reminded of the fact that he belongs to Stratford and Stratford to him. The town, from suburb to suburb, is literally Shaksperean ground.—Atlas. THE PLAYERS ; OR, THE STAGE OF L IFE . BY' T. J. SE RLE , ESQ.—This work is one possessed of many; sterling qualities, which entitle it to be placed among the very best of the novels which have this season issued from the press. It presents, indeed, a marked contrast. to most of those that have lately come before us, being stirring, exciting, and full of incident and originality. As a novelist Mr. Serle is not unknown —as a dramatist his fame has extended still further. The insight we obtain, therefore, into stage life may, in most instances, be relied upon as correct. Mr. Serie is very happy in describing the adventures of the strolling players. We perused them with as much zest, and entered into their humour with as much willingness as though it was the very first time we had been called upon to be spectators of such scenes; but he has also shown himself capable of handling other topics far more difficult of treatment: he has quitted the busy scenes of the theatre and green room, and has penetrated into that narrow but compli cated arena—the human heart.—Sunday Times. SUDDEN DEATH.—We regret to have to announce the death of Mr. S. Aitken, of the firm of Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, booksellers. He had been in his ordi nary health, and was at church on Sunday, as usual ; but ho had an attack of apoplexy, we understand, early yesterday morning, and expired in the course of the day.—Edinburyh Advertiser. FRENCH PACKETS BETWEEN HAVRE AND NEW YORK.—lnformation has now been received from the Director-General of the French Post office, that the un der-mentioned days have been fixed for the departure of the vessels from Havre and New York, viz :—Havre, 10th and 24th Oct.; 10th and 24th Nov.; 23d Dec.; 22d Jan.; 21st Feb.; and 21st March.—New York, 25th Oct.; 9th and 24th Nov.; 9th and 24th Dec.; 23d Jan.; 21st Feb.; 21st March; and 21st April. SHAKSPERE'S HOUSE AT STRATFORD.--It was evi dently built with an eye to strength as well as comfort. The timbers are massive throughout, and in perfect pre • servation. The oak stairs, notwithstanding certain yawns, through which a few rays of light (which seem to have lost their way though it is hard to say how they got there) wander in and out, with the raw gusts of winter moaning after them, are as substantial as ever. Several architects have examined the house, and they all agree in opinion that, with ordinary care, it ought to stand the wear and tear of some hundreds of years to come. —Atlas. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—A REMARKABLE CURE OF DROPSY, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—At Wootton, near Bedford, re sides Mr. John Robinson, sen., an opulent farmer, who some time ago, was in a most dangerous state, from dropsy, bein g nearly double his ordinary size. lie was given over by his medical attendants, and was, at the time, not expected to live three days ; yet from this hopeless state he was cured by takin g Hodoway's Pills. This gen tleman is well known is all the market towns of the county. The wonders that this fine medicine does in all cases of dropsy is truly sur prising, and those who are Lab o urin g u nder this dreadful complaint should certainly try this remedy.
