SPICES.—A large business has been transacted by private contract, and merchants have obtained prices they could not previously. At public sale only 1,738 bags of Malabar have been offered. In White several purchases have been made privately, and prices are firmer ; there being a less quantity on offer. The supply of Pimento is scanty, and being much in request, buyers are compelled to pay '4d to 4id privately. The supply is on the decrease of Ginger, and having a good demand privately, quotations rule tirrn for all kinds. For Cassia Lignea there are few buyers, and the tendency of prices is downward, arrivals being near at hand. Nutmegs are little wanted, an d holders are inclined to realise. Mace is still in demand.

THE SUN, LONDON, Fill ,)AY EV ENING, JANUARY 8, 1847. the purpose of bringing this to the test, some further experiments have just been complete d. The following are some practical details of the most valuable of these experiments:—The result of the experiments clearly proves that the lateral stiffness of the tube is sufficient to resist the strongest wird which can act upon it—that is to say, for a constant blast, for should the blasts recur at regular intervals (which I believe they sometimes do), the vibrations would of course be increased. Taking the force of the wind at 501bs. en the square foot, which greatly exceeds any recorded measure, the resistance offered by the Menat bridge would be about 300 tons x :2=600 tons, which is not two-thirds of its own weight ; so that if the Menai tube, or a similar tube, support its own weight, when laid on the side, the weight thus supported would exceed the pressure of the wind. Now, the model tube, which is in every respect a sin ilia tube to the Menai, being one. sixth of the dimensions, weighs 6 2 tons, and when laid on the side deflects .85 in. only. The greatest weight we loaded it with in this position was 26,78 llhs. (12 tens) -I- half its own weight =l5 tons, with which the total deflection was 3 a in. Under this weight the tube showed no signs of falling; but as we did not wish to injure the tube, no more weight was added. When in its natural position this tube deflected 3.2 in., with 60 tons, which after being left on for sixteen hours increased the deflection to 3.35 in. Since that time the tube has been loaded again with 60 tons, which has been left on for ten days, and the deflections at the end of that time only increased of an inch. The calculated breaking weight of this tube is about 80 tons. I subjoin the areas of the different parts of the tube as it now stands:--Top = 24 square inches of metal throughout. Bottom --_- 22 . 3 square inches of et m h e rd t is a i l g a hT t o e wu e to n . tr s e i7d . sesf D e=e . t tt 9 o- I.3etnree 9 o n squ are inches of metal at n rtquare inch es o f me t a l, same supports.

The Journal des Debuts, the organ of the French Mi nistry, has an important article on the subjsets which will be brought under discussion on the opening of the Chambers. It is now confessed that the co n ces sio n system and the restrictions laid on railway companies by the Government, have had the effect of throwing France behind in the career of improvement. It appears that the chief subject to be brought before the Chambers will be the poper policy to be pursued with a view to the promotion of railways. In endeavouring to concen trate attention on the railway question, it is, of course, the object of the French Ministry to avoid other st.b jects of political discussion, and with no friendly inten tions either to companies or capitalists ; but if the disadvantages and difficulties in the way of enterprise fbe removed, the motive of their removal is of little importance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Henry Williams, a young man, dressed as a porter, was brought before Mr. Alderman lughes Hughes, charged with breaking five panes of glass. It appeared that he went into the Red Cow public houso, Long-laue, about two o'clock in the day, and was served with a pint of porter. A gentleman was eating a chop, and the prisoner worried him till he consented to dri►;k out of his pint of beer. For the sake of peace The gentleman consented reluctantly to taste it, and this encouraged the prisoner to be more troublesome, for he then i. , ,sisted that they should mix their respective por tions of beer, and drink from the same pot. The gen tle►nan would not assent to this, upon whi;:h the prisoner sat down upon the table where the gentleman was taking his luncheon. The potboy remonstrat► d against such a breach of manners, and was immediately knocked down. The landlord then interfered and turned the prisoner cut of the house, and he, in revenge, smashed five panes of glAss. Mr. Alderman licauns Hucirms asked if he was sober. The officer slid he appeared to be quite sober. Ile assaulted each of the' fur constables, whose aid was required to c.mvey him to the station. Even there he behaved with violence, and refused to give his name and address. The prisoner gave no explanation, and seemed to be still in the same perverse • and saucy humour as on the preceding day. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES adjudged him to be imprisoned one month for assaulting the policeman, and to be further imprisoned 14 'days, in default of soontr paying 6.5. 6d. for the damage. William St. Leger, a cloth jobber, was charged with stealing two pieces of cloth, the property of Mr. Wade, a manufacturer ' carrying on business in Basinghall street, Leeds, and keeping a•stock in town, at the ware house of Mr. Ainsworth, No. 18, Aidtrmaribury. Mr. Wade stated, that he last saw the cloth safe en the 29th of November, and he missed it on taking stock on the 2d of December. The . prisoner frequented the warehouse, being occasionally employed by Mr. Sykes, who occupies the warehouse jointly with Mr. Ainsworth, though each trades separately on his own account. On returning from a visit to Leeds on Friday last, he renewed his inquiries to discover the two ends or lengths of cloth, and met with a part of one piece at the shop of Mr. Morgan, a piece-broker and tailor, in Cloth fair. He went in and asked Mr. Morgan if he wanted to buy a new coat, Mr. MoNan replied, "No; I am a tailor." Witness asked if ho wanted any cloth. Mr, Morgan's answer was, " I don't want any flannel." Witness assured him it was cloth, and not flannel, he bad to sell. Mr. Morgan said he could not offer him cloth so cheap as he could get it. He had bought a rifle green at 4s. 6d. the other day. Witness begged to see it, and instantly recognised it as the cloth which he had lost, and which had cost him 7s. a yard. Mr. Morgan produced him a second length of the same cloth, which he had purchased at the same price of the same per,on. From his description some suspicion fell on the prisoner, and upon his being taken to Cloth-fair, Mr. Morn in identified him as the same person. Mr. Alderman li. HUGHES asked how he could ider, tify his cloth ? Mr. Wade said he knew it by the list and by the colour, having been wrongly dyed. The two pieces bought by Mr. Morgan measured each six yards. The piece lost contained 29 yards. Mr. Wontner s clerk cross-examined the witness, to s l low that the prisoner might have been authorised by Mr. S) lies to tell the goods, and that the prisoner was employ, d in hawking cloth. Mr. Wade said Mr. Sykes was not his agent, nor a partner witli Mr.'Ainsworth. Witness never employed the prisoner to sell a yard for Lion. Alo,xander Morgan, of Cloth-fair, said he bought the two remnants at 4c G 1. a yard from the prisoner, last week. Ile consider,d 4s. 601. a good price. Yorkshire cloths were so deceitfully made, the trade were afraid to buy them at any price. They used shodda, or a mix ture of old and new wools, and, berutiful us the face of the cloth might seem, it tisk pped to piece 3 as soon as it was worn. Mr. Wade (somewhat fiercely) pat the cloth in his band, anti io_7.ed if he meant to swear there was any shodda in that ? -Mr. Morgan said he hoped not, but to detect the fraud in Yorkshire cloth.: puzzled good judges. Cross examined—Had known t , m prisoner several years. 'He had onred him 50 pieces of cloth for sale. Mr. Ainsworth said he was an agent, and was em ployel by manufacturers to Sell cloth. He employed persons to sell on commisibra, but he had not employed the prisoner. lie had never authorised the prisoner to sell the missing piece of cloth. Mr. Sykes said he sometimes sold cloths for Mr. Ains worth iF he happened to be out, but he had not sold the two pieces of cloth that were missing, no r a u tho r i se d th e prisoner to sell them. • _ __ _ Mr. Wontner cross-txamineei him. He declined pro nouncing on the, value of cloth by the light after two o'clock in the day. He did not like the light between two and three o'clock as well. He did not like to decide on the value by the teal of the cloth. There were about a dozen tests to judge a cloth by, but nothing equal to seeing it by the proper light. He had rifle greens, but they were either coarser or finer than this. He con sidered it cheap at 4s. 6d. a yard. Mr. Alderman 11. HuGnEs thought the prosecutor bould have en opportunity of looking after the rest of the cloth, and 'remanded the prisoner for further exa mination.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, JAN. 5.—A public meeting of shipowners and others interested in the trade of this port was held this day at noon, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to abolish the light duties on shipping. The Mayor presided. Mr. Alderman LAxu, president of the Chamber of Commerce, moved the first resolution, which set forth the injustice and oppressiveness of the light duties, and recommended the adoption of the suggestion of the last Parliamentary Committee on this subject; namely, that the expense of maintaining the necessary lights be de frayed out of the. ordinary revenues of the state. In conclusion, Alderman Lamb proposed a petition to the House of Commons, in accordance with these views. Mr. LOWREY seconded the proposition, and, as a ship owner, enumerated various facts to show the unfair ()Fe ration of this tax, which, he contended, was in reality for the protection of the revanue. and ought, therefore, to be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund. Mr. Ilurr, M.P., supported the motion at some length. He believed that the shipowners had reason and 1 justice on their aide in the present movement, and that no Government could refuse to listen to their demands without culpable neglect. lle thought the time was come when it behoved all to use °rely attainable means for the relief of the shipping interest. It appeared to him that the position of the British shipowner was at this moment one of a very critical character; and he did think, that whether this country should hereafter retain that large share of the commercial navigation of the globe which it had long enjoyed, or whether it should surrender that pre-eminence to other nations, was a pro blem which the wisdom and prudence of the next few years would probably decide for ever. The British ship owner was now engaged in an anxious struggle with his foreign competitors, and under the many disadvantages which now existed it really seemed as if the prestige which we had long possessed was passing from our hands. Ile was a member of Mr. Lynn's committee, and it was satisfactorily established before that com mittee, that the carrying trade of the globe was no longer in the exclusive possession of the British ship owner, but, on the contrary, that at the various ports of South America, the Dane, the Swede, and even the Prussian was often preferred to the British shipowner, and obtained more readily their charter parties, and even a higher freight. Not only had the British ship owner difficulties to contend with abroad, but at home he was subjected to difficulties of no ordinary character. He had difficulties in what he (Mr. Hutt) conceived to be the unfair competition of rail% aye. Ile called it un fair, because it did net arise out of natural circum stances, but parliamentary enactments. But this was not all. The principles of free trade had been applied to the manufacturer, the landowner, and the West In dian colonist, and their application to shipping was now inevitable. What were they to do, then ? He could not suppose that they would put their hands in their pockets and sink quietly. On the other hand, he trusted that they would demand of the Legislature the removal of every possible obstacle. At the head of those ob stacles were the light duties, and he was glad to think that efforts were at length being made toseinoie those duties from the shoulders of the shipowner, and to place them—where they ought to be—upon the state.— (Applause.) Sir. (Sr. STRAKER said a few words in support of the proposition. Air. W. Ric - .plum) maintained that the removal of the light duties would benefit the consumer, not the shipowner; and moved, as an amendment, that the con sideration of the subject be deft-rrod for twelve months. The amendment was not seconded ; and after some remarks by Mr. W. H. BROCKETT, the original motion was carried, with only one dissentient. Thanks were voted to Mr. Hume, M.P., for his pro tracted labours in behalf of the British shipowner; and after making arrangements for the presentation of the petition, the meeting broke up. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The terms offered by the Waterford and Limerick to the land proprietors of Iffy and Offa, Tipperary, for such part of their ground required on th e li ne, aro twenty tfievneanytesaarts'wpiltli.rchase to fee holders, and sev en years ' to It is expected that the heavy portions (" h eavy ' indeed, whore the contractors have to fight through fifteen tunnel.) of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, gi and Midland, in the neighbourhood of the High Tor tunnels, will be ready for opening in eighteen months. The amalgamation system is migrating very far north. The old Dundee and Arbroath, a six per cent. line, has thought fit to fuse itself with the Dundee and Perth, on e of the generation of last session. Rumours are afloat that the proprietors of the East Lothian Central Railway are in negotiation with Mr. Hudson for the sale of that line, extending, as it does, through the valley of the Tyne and the principal lime and coal districts of the richest agricultural county in Scotland. Every train on the Leeds and Bradford to and from Leeds, says the Railway GazEtts, has now attached t) it third-class covered carriages, very comfortably fitted up, and securing their inmates from the wet and cold of this inclement season. Parties taking third-class day tickets are excluded from these carriages; so that, by taking a single ticket, the passenger obtains a place in a carriage almost equally comfortable and weather-tight as the first and second-class passenger. MINISTERIAL G RA NT.—The Minister of Public Works, by a decision dated the 16th of December, makes an ad vance of one million six hundred thousand francs to the Prefect of Creuse for the purpose of proceeding with the works of the central line. Every now and then examples occur showing the dan ger of swing gates and level crossing, corroborating the position of those who contend for their abolition by the general substitution of light bridges, likely in the long run to be more economical to the companies and protec tive to the public than the machinery at present in use, which must of necessity have annexed to it a lodge and a keeper, or salaried superintendent of some sort. As an illustration, we understand that last week one of the most miraculous affairs occurred on the Ardrossan line. The Londonderry steamer, which should have arrived at Ardrossan on Friday morning, did not arrive till a late hour in the evening , and the passengers had to be con veyed by a special' train to Glasgow. On the signal given by the engineer , two gates have to be opene d at the crossing of the railway on Raise-street. The keeper, not expecting it to pass through, went away, and left the gates closed, when the train came up and carried away gates and posts. The crash, which re sembled thunder, did not discompose the passengers the least. Happily, no lives were lost, nor any bruises sus tained. THE MENAI BRIDGE EXPERIMENTS.—Tbese experi ments on the large scale, of which we formerly gave en gravings and notices, have been continued till now, and are quite satisfactory. The only point on which doubt remained Was as to the ability of the bridge to withstand the effect of gusts of wind by its lateral strength. Fur AMPUTATION WITHOUT PAIN. Our readers are aware that a series of experiments recently made by an American physician, led him to an nounce to his professional brethren the discovery of a gas, the inhalation of which was capable of reducing the inhaler to a state of insensibility of so intense a charac ter, that the most painful operations might be performed without causing any, even the slightest, suff,.ring to the patient. We stated on Saturday that an operation had been performed on the preceding day, at the Richmond Hospital, in this city, on a female who was subjected to the inhalation of the gas whose new:y-discovered pro perties promise to confer such benefits on suffering hu manity ; and that the result was of the most satisfactory character. Through the kindness of a professional friend, we are enabled to-day to give some of the details of this most interesting and successful experiment. The patient was a young woman under twenty years of age. She received an injury in the elb ,w-joint some weeks since, which is supposed to have been inflicted by a bramble penetrating the joint, and inducing lid-lamina tion of the delicate membrane that cover the surfaces of the bones of the joint. When admitted to the hospital the joint was much swollen, and in a state of suppura tion. Mr. M'Donnell, the gifted surgeon, under chose care, she was, applied every remedy which professional skill could suggest, but without effect. The patient was rapidly sinking ; her constitution was unequal to the combat ; hectic fever set in, and on a consultation 1.3 held it was the unanimous opinion of the surgeons of the institution that there remained but one means of saving the girl's life—amputating the arm. Th o poor girl was apprised of her position ; she consented to undergo the operation, it being the last chance of life, and Wednesday last was fixed on as the day on which it vans to be per formed. We understand that on Tuesday evening Mr. M'l)onnell first conceived the idea of testing the efficacy of the nareo•izing gas—the fumes of pure sulphuric ether —but with that self-devotion so characteristic of great minds, he resolved that his first experiment should be on himself. The necessary apparatus had to be mada, and the contemplated operation on the girl was postpone d to Friday. Tile apparatus necessary to apply the fumes of the ether with effect, though simple, requires nice adaptation. That recommended cans': t en entially of two valves placed in a tube, and acting in different direc tions—the one opening at each inspiration, so as freely to admit the fumes of the ether, and closing at each ex piration ; the other opening at each expiration, so as to anmit of the escape of the expired air, and closing at each effort at inspiration, so as to exclude the atmosphe ric air, and thus prevent the too great dilution of the fumes. These valves, it is obvious, must play with such freedom as to offer no serious obstacle to the process of inhalation. After several failures an apparatus was pro cured, and Mr. Nl'Donnell, accompanied by a professional fsiend, in whose steadiness and skill he had perfect con fidence, retired to his study to make his first experi ment—and on himself. After a few minutes' inhalation the operator became perfectly insensible. He, however, was quickly restored from his temporary death. No unpleasant sensation re mained, and—resolved that the poor girl should not be experimented on till he had first properly satisfied him• self that no possible injury could result to her—Mr. M'Donnell again and again operated on himself, each time producing the most perfect insensibility—in fact, a complete absence of all sensation ; and on being restored, each time felt, as ho afterwards described it, no unplea sant sensation ; but, on the contrary, rather a pleasing sense of quiescence during the xeturn of sensibility, which lasted for some minutes. .. — Having thus convinced himself of the safety of the ex periment, and his friend of the perfect temporary anni hilation of sensation, Mr. *Donnell proceeded on Fri day to perform the operation (amputation) on his pa tient, in the presence of a number of his professional brethren. Having treated his patient as he had pre viously treated himself, she became insensible in a few minutes, and he proceeded to operate. The several stages of the operation were proceeded with, the patient all the time evincing no evidence of consciousness. The integuments and muscles u ere cut through, the bone was sawed across, and the amputated arm laid aside, the patient continuing to all appearance ignorant of the whole proceeding. These several stages occupied some thing more, we believe, than a minute and a half, and more than two minutes more elapsed before the patient evinced any symptons of returning sensibility. When she first became conscious, the distinguished opera tor was tying one of the bleedi ng vesse l s. T h i s s h e f e l t, and describe d her sensation accurately, she also com plained of a sense of smarting, such as is usually felt after an incised wound, over the surface of the stump. She was rrfectly conscious (luring the dressing of the stump, aAI her sensatiohs at the time in no way ap peared to differ from those of patients op era t e d on in the usual way. She appeared, however, to suffer less, anti was l ess a gitated, th.in other patients. Since Friday ;he ea patientppa rc h aracter 'A'eli. N° symptomsbad d ributableto h the inhalation.

RE• OPENING 01' COAL.PITS.-011 Saturday last there was a procession of a somewhat novel charactor through the streets of Manchester and Salford, to cele brate the re-opening of two of the coal pits at the Pen dleton Colliery, belonging to John Fitzgerald, F.sq which have for upwards of three years been inundated with water. In the month of August, 1844, the working of coal at both the Albert and the six-foot mine wa, totally stopped by their being flooded. Mr. Fitzgerald pump, shortly afterwards erected a stationary engine antiin order to endeavour to clear the pits; and though fur some time the task seemed almost hopeless, the exer tions were continued with vigour, till, after incessant pumping night and day, for nearly three years, the men wer e again enabled to commence coal - getting operations. —Manchester Guardian.

A HALT AT THE ALTAR. Thursday was fixed for Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, of Bromyard, a third time to enter on hymeneal blessedness. She was 78, and the object of her affections was a stalwart smith, of Norton, under 40. Th e bride was there i n t i me —h er groom was not, and t wo weary hours did she wa i t for h i s com i ng. By - and-by John ap ears, tolerably cool. " I'm sorry I's kept p you we i t i n ' , Betty," says he. " Why, where have you bi n, John, " says she. " Oh, I've bin to the castle, a cl ean i ng the squire ' s smoke j ack. " The lady was sati=f4d—business must be attended to—work first, though it is but cleaning smokejacks, and play after, though it be but the small joke of marrying a wife—is a golden rule. And so the two were hitched together in the matrimonial noose.— If orcester Herald. LONDON COACHMAKERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITU TION.—Wednesday the yearly meeting of the members and supporters of this society, which is established for tho relief of indigent members, their widows and orphans, was held at the rooms of the Institution, King-street, Golden-square, Mr. Savage in the chair. Mr. Brown , read the report, which stated that the so et he r i et y s ,esc fundedet ry. property amounted to 3001., exclusive of 100/. in the banker's hands, and that the subscriptions of the Sear, including a previous balance, figured 681. 17s. 6d., leaving a general balance of 421/. Upon the motion of Mr. Lee the report was adopted. SOUTIIIVARK. Dennis Sullivan,- John Muir, and Joseph Callaghan, three powerful-looking young fellows, well-known thieves, were placed at Uhl bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with two others not in custody in rescuing a prisoner from the custody of the police, and smashing a policeman's head in with brickbats, besides dreadfully injuring several others. _ _ It appeared from the evidence that on Sunday even. ing ene of the prisoners' companions named Witty (who has since been transported for seven years) stole a quan tity of cigars from a shop in Gravel-lane Southwark. He was taken into custody a short time after the rob bery in the Red House public• house, when he was res cued by the prisoners and his associates. After Witty was rescued, a mob of two or three hundred persons surrounded the police, mostly thieves and bad charac ters, and commenced throwing brickbats and stones at them. Richards, 44 M, perceiving Muir throwing a brickbat, and knowing him to be one who rescuud the other prisoner, caught hold of him, when he was kicked by several persons behind, and was struck in the fore head with a brickbat, which rendered him insensible. He was carried in that state to Guy's Hospital, when it was ascertained that his left eye was cut across, and that a portion of the bone above had been forced in. So frightful was the wound, that his eyesight was despaird of, and he was ordered to remain in the hospital. Police constable 134 M was struck with a brickbat on the head while assisting the')ast witness. He also received several kicks on the lower part of the body, which ren dered him incapable of perrortn'ng his duty. Police-sergeant M 7 said that when he was informed of the riot he proceeded to Gravel-lane, and found up wards of 200 persons surrounding the constables. As soon as he arrived they attacked him, and while he had Muir in custody a brickbat struck the latter (evidently intended for him), and rendered him insensible. Witness was compelled to convey him to a surgeon's to restore him to his senses. The other prisoners and those who escaped were the worst. Wm. Morgan, a lad about ten years of age, said that he saw bricks thrown about from all parts. Sul livan threw a large one at Richards, who instantly dropped down like a dead man. He saw the prisoners and the others who escaped throw stones and kick the police. In answer to the'charge the prisoners said they knew that Witty was not guilty of the offence they charged him with, and that was the reason they rescued him. They did not deny committing the assault, but they did it in self-defence. _ It was stated by one of the constables that the prisoners were most desperate characters, and had been Crequently in custody for felony and other offences. Mr. SEcKER said that it was a most diabolical ana brutal outrage on the police. The officer was in such a state that the loss of his eye was expected from their brutality towards him. He should commit them for trial, but, as other men were implicated, he would re mand them for a week to give the officers an opportunity of apprehending them. Nine hearty-looking, but dirty young fellows, were brought up in custody, from Christchurch workhouse, charged with committing a series of offences in that workhouse, such as breaking the pails, bedsteads, win lows, and assaulting other inmates weaker tha❑ them selves. the porter of the workhouse, said that the prisoners were admitted into the casual ward on the pre ceding evening, and supplied with food and lodging. In the middle of the night the inmates were alarmed by hearing cries of " murder" and " help" proceed from the casual ward. He immediately proceeded to the spot, when he saw the prisoners throwing filthy water over the other lads, breaking up the buckets placed for their use, and throwing pieces of bedsteads at them. Several of them surrounded him, and would have knocked him down had not as s istance arrived and en d eavoured to quell the riot. Two of the prisoners, however, a tt ac k e d the night porter, and kicked him on tha body, and called on the other inmates to assist them in beating the officer. The police were, however, called in; and, after a despe rate resistance, the prisoners were secured. Several witnesses were examined, and from their evi dence the prisoners were proved to be the ringleaders. Some of them were, however, much worse than the others. The porter of the workhouse said that most of them had been punished for creating disturbances in the work.. house, and inciting the other inmates to follow their example. They were. indeed, a terror to the others who sought admission. Mr. SECKER committed the two who were foremost in the disturbance to three months' imprisonment, and three to two months, and the rest from one month to seven days each. GREENIVICIL Edward grimniond, a labourer in the employ of the South. Eastern Railway Company, was charged with stealing 76 lbs. weight of brass fittings, portions of loco motive engines, the property of the above company. Yolico•constable Whythe, 180 R, deposed that on the preceding evening ho saw the prisoner on the road to Greenwich, carrying a large basket on his shoulder, and suspecting him, demanded to be shown its contents, upon which the prisoner threw down his basket and attempted to effect his escape, but was prevented, and with much difficulty was taken to the station .house. On examining his basket, the brass work produced was round enclosed in a sact.. The prisoner gave his address as living in Roan-street, Deptford, which was untrue, as he had since ascertained he resided at New-cross. Wit ness had evidence present to prove whence the property had been stolen. James Rose, of 8, Wellington-terrace, Wandsworth road, an engineer, identified a slide-valve of a locomotive engine as belonging to the South-Eastern Railway Com pany, which had been manufactured by himself. An engine -fitter, employed by the same company under whom the prisoner worked, deposed that he be lieved all the articles produced to be the property of his employers, and to which the prisoner had general access. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, except that there was another person who assisted him in taking the articles in question. Mr. TRAILL said he should remand the prisoner for a week, telling him at the same time, that it he chose, for the satisfaction of his employers, to inform the officer who his accomplice was, he would only be doing a duty towards his employers. The prisoner, who mad no reply, was then committed to Maidstone Gaol. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, JANUARY 7.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JAN. s.—Although there is little change in the market this week—the demand con tinuing extremely languid—buyers have shown a little more disposition to accede to the terms demanded by the spinners and manufacturers. The business done, how ever, is small in amount, and in goods, especially, con fined to the supply of immediate wants. We do not hear anything new in reference to the working of short time; hut the stoppage of the mills for a week or ten days at Christmas was very general. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JAN. 4.—There has been a quiet market to-day, with but a limited demand for goods. Very little was done in wool, as the dealers are asking higher prices, and the manufacturei cannot get a proportionate advalice upon his goods. Next Monday will be the new market. HALIFAX, SATURDAY, JAN. 2.—The new year has opened with much of the dulness that characterised the latter markets of its predecessor ; and it is generally thought that the continually advancing prices of provi sions tend to protract to a greater distance the period of a revival. But few pieces have changed hands in the ball to-day, and prices remain unimproved. The return of open weather has brought the Continental buyers into the yarn market, for a few jobs, at below cost price; but, in other respects, the trade continues without alter ation. Owing to the stimulus of the late advance, shot t wool has been more in demand, and the increased price has been obtained ; but the trade is by no means brisk. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JAN. s.—There has been a considerable business done to-day in light goods, for the spring trades. Good blues continue in demand, and several orders have been given for broads of that colour to our manufacturers. LEEDS, TUESDAY, JAN. 4.—Although very few goods changed hands at our cloth-halls to-day, the improved tone of the market is not impaired ; since, according to report, some extensive orders for low cloths have been received, which cannot but act favourably on the state of trade. SENIOR WRANGLERSHIP.—We understand that St. John's College is expected to carry off the honour of the Senior Wranglership this year.7.--Cambridge Advertiser. DESTRUCTION OF THE DEE MILLS AT CHESTER.— A fire of a most alarming and destructive nature, in volving the loss of a serious amount of property, broke out on Wednesday morning, in the centre of a lofty range of building, known by the name of the Dee Mills. These premises, which are situate on, and attached to, the west side of the old Dee-bridge, are used as corn mills, and are in the several occupations of Messrs. Gamon, Palin, and Moss. The mills were originally of great antiquity, having been in existence as early as the year 1119, when they belonged to the Crown, siho granted them to Sir Richard Cotton, in whose family we believe they still remain. The fire was discovered about two o'clock by the driver of a coach returning with a party from the Infirmary ball, held last night at the Albion Hotel. The man instantly gave the alarm, aroused the workmen, and in a very short space of time two of the city engines were on the spot ,and commenced playing upon the devouring element, which had already spread through the whole of the centre compartment oc cupied by the Messrs. Palin. Shortly afterwards two of the county engines arrived from the Castle, manned by an effective body of the Royal Artillery, under the com mand of Major Robe, and a detachment of the 90th Regi ment, under Major Eyles. As it was soon found to be utterly impossible to stem the current of destruction, which had now fairly set in upon the central ware hens% the exertions of the firemen were directed to the preservation of the adjoining premises. Every room was filled with grain to the very roof, and it is a melancholy fact that scarcely a single bag has been rescued uninjured from that portion of the pile ehich was the scene of the conflagration. Shortly before three o'clock Major- General Sir Wm. Warre, the officer commanding the district, arrived and rendered his valuable assistance, bet only just in time to see the massive roof fall in with a tremendous crash, presenting a scene at once awful and magnificent. The flames, which had now demo fished every obstacle, rushed upwards with terrific fury, illuminating the city and neighbourhood for miles round. At the time of writing, the outer walls are all that is now standing, end these are momentarily ex pected to fall. Considerable fears have been and are still entertained for the safety of the adjoining ware houses, but up to the present moment, owing principally to the great strength of the connecting walls, they aro comparatively speaking unscathed. That portion of the premises which has completely fallen a prey to the flames is, we are happy to say, insured in the County Fire-office, and we believe that the stock is also par tially insured ; the other two warehouses at present un hurt are likewise protected by the Atlas and Norwich Union Offices. These mills have been twice the victims of a like calamity within the last 57 years, having been totally destroyed by fire on the 26th of Sept., 1789, and again in March, 1819. The loss sustained by the pre sent fire is supposed to be about 8,0001.
