Baron PLATT said that it struck him that if any person assumed to sell property to any other there <vas at least an assumed implication either of the rightful possession of the property by the vendor, or qhf a proper authorization of the owner to dispose of the same. A verdict was subsequently taken by consent for the sum of 17 guineas, with liberty for the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit. vac. mai , iy sea _ rienced by the two vessels, causing both hawsers to part, and compelling the Howe to anchor. Every endeavour was made, but in vain, to retake the Howe in tow. The Terrible ultimately anchored ahead of the How e , k ee pi ng h er fires up until morn ing, when both vessels again weighed, the Howe for Madeira, under sail, and the Terrible up the river. The Terrible came into harbour this afternoon and landed the marines, who have joined the division head-quarters. The Rhadamanthus steamer sailed this morning for the eastward with the men who brought the Blenheim round to this port. The Castor, 36, Captain Sir C. Graham, C. 8., arrived this afternoon at half-past three o'clock, from the East Indies. SHEERNESS, Nov. I.—The Lucifer is to be pre pared for immediate service. The Salamander is to be sent to Woolwich when ready to receive her machinery. She will then return here to be com pleted for sea, and be prepared for immediate com missioning. The Cyclops is to be rigged and reported when ready for commission. But ships are not in future to be reported as fit for commission till they are in every respect ready to receive their crews. Mr. J. Eddy, boatswain, of this yard has been super annuated on a pension of 1251 . per annum. He was one of Nelson's boatswains, and was on board the Monarch at the memorable bombardment of Copen hagen. He now retires after nearly 50 years in her Majesty's service. WOOLWICH, Nov. 2 .—Myrmidon (iron steam packet), Lieutenant-Commandant C. F. Roberts, arrived from Portsmouth yesterday, and is ordered to be paid off. Stromboli (steam-sloop), Commander Fisher, arrived here yesterday, having recently left the squadron of evolution under Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, C.B. This vessel has been in commission about four years, but is not to be paid off; she is ordered to be commissioned for service for about twelve months longer.

WATSON attended to show cause why a writ Of scire facias should not issue against Mr. John Erook, on a judgment obtained against the defendant, Daniel Mackenzie, as a public officer of the New castle-upon-Tyne Joint-Stock Banking Company. Mr. Martin and Mr. Hill were understood to be •»gaged on the other side, and a message was sent to them, !requesting their attendance. The answer brought back by the messenger was, that neither of those Learned Gentlemen, who were engaged in other Courts, knew whether or not they were engaged in the case, but that they were desirous that it should be Ildjourned until to-morrow. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, when a counsel stated he lid not know whether or not he was instructed in a 17, ,rticular case, the usual inference was that he was nir it instructed ; and, as no counsel attended on the cother side, he should order the case to be struck out ( ►f the list. Mr. WATSON observed that it was customary, in t kat case, to discharge the rule, with costs. Rule accordingly discharged, with costs. The court adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice• Chancellor limoprr BRucE.) IN RE D. E. COLOMBINE. The last examination appointed herein for the 4th li'ovember was this day ordered to stand adjourned ti 11 the hearing of the petition to annul the fiat. Mr. JAMES RUSSELL applied to have the petition pl aced in the paper for the last petition day in this to crn, and agreed that the respondents should be at erty to file further affidavits against the petition 'Ti ;bin a fortnight. The Lord Chancellor will give a Cabinet dinner previous to the opening of Parliament. GLUT OF FRUIT IN EDINBURGH.--The city is at the present time supplied to an extraordinary extent with green fruits, especially apples. Foreign plums, green, are very plentiful, selling at 3d. per pound, the one-half of what is usually charged for those of home growth, but the latter are finer eating every way. The more favourite descriptions of pears are high priced, selling at 6d. per pound. American grapes are plenty, selling at 7d. per pound. Last week English apples were carted about the streets and cried like "caller herring" at id. a forpit, greatly to the joy of the ju veniles, who, braving the fear of cholic and British cholera, rushed eagerly to receive the delicacy in their bonnets. The accession of fruit and fresh vegetables to the ordinary fare of the people, must, when these edibles are used in moderation, tell favourably upon the general health. Scurvy was beginning to show itself under the fare rendered necessary by the absence of potatoes and other culinary vegetables, but since their appearance we have heard of no complaints. The supply of potatoes in the city is abundant, and the article is generally good ; but the price is so high as to render the better qualities beyond the reach of the poor. It is but a few days since that the best potatoes were selling at ls. 2d. per peck ; good descriptions may now be bad for 10d.— Edinburgh paper. DREADFUL SUICIDE.—About half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, a man unknown, of middle stature, dressed in a black coat and vest and corduroy trousers, called at Mr. Farrell's, Temperance Coffee-house, No. 4, Cazneau-street, and asked for the key to look at the next house, which was to be let. The key was given to him by a female, but as it was not returned, she went in about an hour afterwards to ascertain the cause, when she saw the door of the empty house a-jar, and having gone into the front parlour, saw the key lying upon the chimney-piece. She closed the window, which the man must have opened, and went out, locking the door after her, supposing all to be right. About half-past three o'clock, a person, having got the key to see the house, found the deceased lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor of the first back bed-room, with his throat cut, and a razor lying about a quarter of a yard from him. It appeared that the deceased had, before committing the dreadful deed, taken off his hat and coat, which he had folded up and placed on one side. An inquest will be held on the body to-day.—Liverpool Standard of yes terday. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs). IN RE CREASER. - 4 3, dividend meeting was held in the case of this . b ankrupt, who had carried on business as a merchant In St. Mary Axe. The facts of the case are extra- Wfinary.

(From the United Service Magazine for November.) MILITARY OUTRAGE.—Last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a picket of the Royal Marine Artillery went through Oyster-street in pursuit of a prisoner who has escaped. Imagining that he was concealed in the house occupied by Mrs, Fennell they knocked at the door, but the inmates being all in bed they were refused admittance. The picket immediately :burst open the door with the butt end of their guns and entered the house with drawn swords, to the great terror of the in. habitants. Their search proving quite ineffectual, the picket proceeded through the premises into a house in White Hart-row, and searched there. The whole of this time the lost man was standing under a doorway opposite. Inspector Way had to be sent for before the soldiers would remove from the house.—Portsca Advocate. CRIMINAL TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND BRE MEN.—A letter from Bremen, of the 25th ult., informs us that on that day was published there the treaty con cluded on the 10th of July, between France and Bremen, for the reciprocal extradition of criminals. The extra dition does not apply to political offences, or to cases in which there is a prescription. 110 P INTELLIGENCE.—MAIDSTONE. — The hop picking, we learn, was not entirely over till Wednesday last, when Mr. Browning, a large grower in this neigh bourhood, finished his plantation. The duty is expected to be published to morrow. From all we can gather on the subject, we strongly suspect it will be rather above than below our ,correspondent's calculations. Our only rule in :these matters is to give as accurate an estimate as possible.—Maidstone .Journal. A WARNING TO TIMID DEPOSITORS.—The follow jug paragraph, which we copy from the Liverpool ought to operate as a caution to the parties who were last week in such breathless haste to draw their small deposits out of certain local banks, reckless of the mis chief which their conduct occasioned to public credit, and the interests of the town and district. Our con temporary says: —A farmer, who resides near Fazakerly, and who had 2,0001. in Leyland's bank, at Liverpool, went thither on Monday week, and loudly demanded his money. He was told he had not tho slightest reason for alarm, and had better let it remain. This rendered him suspicious, and he said, " Noa ; my wife said aw mun hey it, an' aw will hey it ; soa give it me." His money was handed to him, and he returned home. That very night, it is said, some adroit Liverpool thieves burst into his house and stole the money. Troops or Service Companies. Depots, Nautilus, 10, 1830, Lieut.-Com. W. T.

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

This was the petition of Charles Jeremiah Free man, and came before his Lordship as an appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls. The pe titioner was the committer of the respondent, William %Vyget Parkinson, a lunatic, and an order had been made against the petitioner, on a matter for which he was not personally liable, but which should have been against the lunatic personally. The order was for the payment into Court by the peti• tioner of 141., of which sum the respondent was a defaulting trustee, by the 6th instant, under a penalty of being tak::n into custody or having his property sequestrated. Mr. J. PARKER and another Learned Gentleman appeared for the appellant, Messrs. Linney and Bush for the respondent. His Log.silip considered that the Master of the Rolls had not the power of making the order in question, and upon that ground he discharged so much of that portion of it as made the appellant per sonally liable. COLLINS V. ROPER. This was also an aeal from the decision of the Master of the r elat ing to the payment of certain costs. There was nothing of any public interest in the case, and his Lordship directed that an inquiry should be made. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) His Lordship was occupied to-day in hearing un opposed petitions, which contained nothing of any public interest. DEATH OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP FROM TYPHUS FEVER. (FROISI A CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE-Ca-TY NE , Nov. 2.—The Right Rev. Dr. Riddell, Roman Catholic Bishop of the Northern District, died to-day, in Charlotte-square, at about three o'clock, aged forty-two. Dr. Riddell had been coadjutor to the late Dr. Alostyn (who died about a month ago) for the last three or four years, and of course had only recently succeeded to the full charge of the district, when thus suddenly called away. The typhus fever having made such havoc amongst the Catholic priesthood, and there being no priest to officiate in the old chapel here, the deceased prelate had been officiating on Sunday week, after which he was seized with the epidemic, and lingered till today, when death put an end to his sufferings. Dr. Riddell was a native of Northumberland, connected with an ancient family, beloved by all who had the honour of his acquaintance, and his loss has cast a gloom over, and will be deeply felt by, a large and populous district.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.--It has been the subject of frequent remark upon 'Change that for a numher of weeks past, with only a Esin g !e exception, some large and important failure tnc.,lr place, or was first announced in this town on the Monday or Tuesday morning ; and that, consequently, the great market of the week wos held under the depressing influence of a heavy and recent calamity. The effect of rhese repeated disasters was necessarily to destroy the con fidence which the comparative absence of failure at the end of each precding week ,had tended to restore; and the market consequently suffered under severe depression. Yesterday, however, passed over without any disastrous announcement, and it seemed as if to-day was likely to elapse without experiencing any such sinister influence as that which had weighed upon previous market days. About noon, however, it b ecame k nown that Messrs. Coates and Company, American merchants, of London, having a branch in this town, under the firm of Coates, Hilliard, and Company, had stopped pay ment. The London firm was one of the few Ame recan agency houses which survived the panic of 1836-7; but we understand that its business has not recently been very extensive. The liabilities of Coates and Co. are stated to be about 100,0001.; but we understand that the debts here are not likely to prove large, and the announcement of the failure pro duced but little effect on the market, which, on the whole, presented a rather better appearance than that of last week. There was more inquiry than pre viously, both for goods and yarn; and a fair amount of business would have been done, if spinners and manufacturers would have accepted the lowest rates which were current last week. There was not, how ever, much disposition to make sacrifices, and the amount of actual business was consequently limited. ROCHDALE, MONDAY. —There has been a rather quieter market ro-day, and less business transacted than the three last Mondays. In the wool market there has been very little doing, and prices may be quoted as rather easier. HALIFAX, SATURDAT.--OUF Piece-hall still looks gloomy, and scarcely any business is transacted. In yarn, also, the extreme depression continues, and a further curtailmeni of production is the consequence. Prices have fallen too near the cost of the mere raw materials used, to make it worth while to run the machinery, should current ratos not be maintained; so that, with the present prices of wool, there is not any room for giving way in the price of yarns. N o wool is coming to market. Spinners are on l y bu y i ng same the for daily consumption, and prices are much as lest week W bu e t l ittle doing in had another du ll . HUDDERSFIELD, dring Tu th e e sp w AY es .— k, market, and, the warehouses. Nevertheless, as regards the dis- trict, it is considered that trade wears a more healthy appearance than might be expected, from the heavy pressure to which the mercantile world is at present exposed. LEEDS, TUESDAY. Our market continues ex ceedingly quiet,—there was hardly anything doing to-day.—Manchester Guardian.: THE UNEMPLOYED.—Yesterday forenoon, a num ber of unemployed factory operatives walked in pro cession through the town, with a drum and fife at their head. A meeting of the unemployed on Blakeley Moor was spoken'of, but did not take place at the time stated. —Manehester Guardian. STOPPAGE of RAILWAY WORKS. -- Orders have been issued, it is said, to :suspend for a time the prose cution of the works on the Blackburn, Clitheroe, and North-Western Extension branch of the Bolton, Black burn, Clitheroe, and West Yorkshire Railway Com pany. - - MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 2.) MA.onrrws.—This afternoon Mauritius sugar of all kinds was in good request ; and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 6,309 bags, 336 casks, 3 bar rels, and 27 tierces, mostly found buyers at former rates; very dark brown went at 20s to 2Gs 6d; low and middling, 28s to 295; good, 29s 6d to 31s; fine, 32s to 335; low yellow, 33s 6d to 34s 6d; middling, 35s 6d to 36s 6d; good, 373 to 38s 6d; fine, 39s 6d to 425; washed and syrupy, 24s to 36a 6d per cwt. A part was taken in rather above the value. RICE.—To-day the market was abundantly supplied saleamour d , gs ; hoers were Willing sellers, but, sub m it t i ng to a further rdeduction in pri willi ces of 6d to Is, ca use d nearly the whole to find buyers; Ben gal, good white, but anther broken, went at 11s 6d to 12s, good middling ditto 11s to lls 6d, middlinc, ditto 10s 6d. FRUIT. —To-day at public sale 142 pkgs damaged Patras Currant s were only in part sold, 42s to 44 5, caroteols 42 s to 455, brls 44s' 3,080 drums butts Turkey Figs only partly found buyers at lower rates, drums 38s to 443, half ditto 50s; 835 pkgs Muscatel Raisins went at 40s to 46s for boxes in layers. The market for Fruit has a dull appearance. SPIRITS, ---To day Jamaica Rum met with attention, and brought very full rates. Sales to a fair extent were made, and 3s 6d to 4s 6d paid for fair to fine quality. The market for East India is in a dull state, and not more than is 6d can be obtained for proof with certi ficate. Leeward Island met with little attention, and is DARING AND MURDEROUS ASSAULT. An assault, with intent to rob, was committed upon a workman on Saturday, which, from the ag gravated circumstances of the case, demands more than a mere notice. It will be recollected that, in the report of the destructive fire at Lancefield on Friday evening, it was stated that the warehouses of Messrs. Patrick Robertson and Co. were in con siderable dang er . Th e workmen belonging to the firm who were on the spot, observing that the pro prietor was not present, deemed it expedient about one o'clock A.M. to dispatch one of their number to Mr. Robertson's residence in Buceleuch-street,, Garnett-bill, with an intimation of the nature of the fire. This was accordingly done, and the MD, after delivering his messag e , returned Main-street, an unfinished street leading from Argyle-street up to Blythswood square. He had got about half- way down, and was at the open and unprotected part of the road, when three stout men, who had the appearance of carters, darted out from the side of the path, and col. lared the unfortunate messenger, roughly demanding where he waa going. Thinking they were but in jest he told them where he had been, and entr ea t e d them to let him p ass , b ut the only reply he re ceived was a blow which felled him to the ground. One of the ruffians then threw himself on the poor man, and the other two commenced to rifle his pockets. In their savage haste—for the man called out for assistance —they had apparently used a knife to tear open his clothes, as he felt a sharp weapon grazing along his skin while they were handling him very roughly. Dreadfully alarmed, the poor fellow naturally thought they had a design to murder him, and contrived to get his clasp knife out of his pocket, which he opened, and by a desperate effort turned himself over, and stabbed in the groin the man who was holding him. The stab must have been a severe one, if it do not prove ultimately fatal, as the man immediately after re ceiving it fell back heavily. His comrades, seeing the condition he was in, slunk behind, and thus allowed the workman, who was in a terrible state of excitement, an opportunity of effecting his escape from them. Having found three policemen in Argyle street, he communicated to them the particulars of the attack, and they immediately proceeded to the spot, but the vagabonds had made good their retreat, carrying with them their wounded cots panion. The clothes which the man had on, when attacked in this murderous manner, were in nume rous parts completely cut through, and a deep scar in his left arm, and three cuts on his breast, attest the ruthless nature of the assault which was made upon him. We sincerely trust that the miscreants will speedily be apprehended.—North British Mail of Monday. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sze,—lf your announcement of the stoppage of Messrs. Holdsworth, of Glasgow, refers to us, we beg to say the announcement is untrue. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, HENRY HOULDS WORTH AND SONS. Glasgow, November 1. 1 DrAsoLicAL Ar.— n L wasa s bar c l door oc k, r ough aboutj i i: o' a ball from an air gu of Mr. Southall, of the Lord Nelson, Old Re n t- roa d , ct d e r v iv e e n n in t g h , but which was supposed at the time to have been a stone. Scarcely had the inmates recovered from the shock occa sioned by this dastardly act than, On Mrs. Southall's proceeding to one of the bed chambers above, a second ball was discharged, piercing the bed-room window and striking the bed-post. The ball was picked up in this last case, and at once proved the instrument employed for this wanton and diabolical attack. Mr. Southall, the landlord, a most respectable man, was quickly on the alert, and having ascertained that certain parties using the house had been heard to utter threats of "serving him out," he caused one of the parties to be arrested the same evening, and it is hoped and expected that cir cumstances will transpire to furnish sufficient evidenoe to fix the act on the guilty party ; but at present, from prudential motives, it would be unwise to enter more fully on the subject. Fortunately, no damage was done by either discharge further than breaking the squares of glass through which the bullets passed. The first bullet has not yet been discovered.—From a Corre spondent. .. GIANT VEORTABLES.—A cabbage, weighing np. wards of 451b5., vt as cut from a field belonging to Mr. Josiah Paul, of Roskear farm, near Camborne. Ali extraordinary turnip was also drawn in a field belong ing to Mr. Spear, of Kingston, in the parish of Stoke chmsland, which weighed 481 b. 9 oz. Mr. Spear says ho can draw twenty turnips that will weigh 2 cwt. An immense carrot, grown in a garden at Wilcove, is now in the possession of Mr. H. Hance, George-street, Devonport ;it weighs silbs., is 14 inches long, dlB inches in cir cum f erence. Its growth is also very sin gular, the a pp earance being not unlike one of the Chi nese gods. On Monday last a turnip was drawn in a field belonging to Mr. J. Gasson, at Holear in the parish of L e l ant, which measured 35i inches in , circume ference, and weighed 20ilbs. This is suosed to be one of th e l argest turnips of the kind eve p r seen in this county. On Saturday last a carrot was exhibited in the New Market House, St. Blazey, 15 i nc h es i n length and 1 2 inches i n circumference, the produce of Mrs. Hitchin's garden, Moor -hill. An apple -tree (Ceylon pippin) in the garden of Mr. Richard Matthews, of Roseland, Men heniot, has produced this year 26 apples, of the following dimensions and weight, viz.:—the largest measured 13i inches in circumference, tni weighed 15} ounces; the smallest weighed 74 ounces, and measured in cir cumference 101 inches. A pear tree, in the same garden, produced exactly the same number of pears, wh i ch weighed altogether 19 pounds.—Devonport Independ ent.

Demerara of quality sells more freely at 3s to 3s 3d per gallon. Bops.—There is no further reduction to notice in the value, and fine samples are in good demand, but inferior are little wanted and are in plentiful supply. Prices of all sorts are much under those that prevailed a month back. SPICES.— To-day there was not much demand for Malabar Popes, and 986 bags at public sa/e went at 2 to 2id for goo d half heavy brown 7 bags Pimento fetched 6d pe r lb .

SALTPETRE. —To -clay Rough was purchased with caution by private treaty: and at public auction 1,196 bags were only partly sold. British Refined is in good demand, and prices are firm at 32s 6d to 335. In Nitrate of Soda the eperations are there a more ex tended scale, and on the part of holders there is firmness. Cocntsinie.---Holders are not inclined to submit to any further decline, and refrained from offering any at public sale. Privately, there has been little passing; we quote Honduras silvers at 3s 9d to ss, and black 5s 4d to 6s 6d per lb. SAGO.—There is a better opinion entertained towards this article ; but at pre sent no advarce can be noticed in the value. Privately, however, several parcels have been sold—low to mid small Pearl at 16s to 18s, and good to fine 19s to 223 per cwt. Sago Flour is little wanted, bur, as the supply is small, prices are supported. OILS. —The market for Cod Oil has a dull appearance, and prices continue to recede, sales having been made at 261 to 26/ lOs per tun, and the supply is on the increase. The purchases made in Seal by exporters and the hone trade have been trifling, whilst on the part of holders there is a desire to sell. Southern met with more attention, and as the supply is less plentiful prices are firmer, whilst sales to a fair extent have been wade by private treaty. Sperm met with little attention; holders are still willing sellers, and accept 801 to 831 for good and fine quality; the quantity on offer is more than sufficient for the wants of the trade. There are further arrivals of Oils, but the consumption continnes to be very satisfactory, whilst prices are under those current at this time in the past year. Palm is wanted by ex porters and the home trade, and full rates are obtained. Privately several parcels have been sold. For Cocoa Nut quotations r u l e hi g h , b ut exporters and the home trade operated vetch caution by private treaty, and at public sale 30 tons!of Cochin were only in part sold at 65s to 65s 3d for fine quality: although Linseed Oil can be -obtained upon further reduced terms, still the purchases made have been to limited extent only by the home trade, whilst few shipping orders were entered into: the supply continues on the increase, and the crushers are sellers at 23s 9d to 24s per cwt on the spot. For arrival there are sellers at 245 , but few b u y ers are to be met with, Rapeseed i s d u ll of sale, and cheaper, whilst the supply continues on the increase; there aro sellers of pale at 36s 6d to 375, and brown at 35s 6d to 365, the.stepply is on the increase and likely so to continue. Olive con tinues to decline in value, whilst exporters and the hsome trade operate with caution. WOOL.--Since this day week the demand for all de scriptions of Colonial has been limited at the quarti3rly sales ; although holders have been willing to sell, ac cepted prices 3d to 6d per lb under those of the last auctions. The chief part of the wool passed the hatranaer has been taken in and withdrawn. TALLOW.—Theie is no further decline to notice in the value of Russian on the spot, but the home t rade has shown more disposition to operate. A good bolsi ness has been concluded by both soap-makers and chandlers, but the rates taken are 44s 6d to 45s for fine P. Y. Candle, and at which holders aro desirous to sell. For deliveries up to the close of the year, there are sellers at 43s 6d to 445; and for spring months at 44s 6d to 455; but few buyers Are to be met with. Home finds a free sale at 45s to 46s nett cash, but the supply is good, and there is a des ire to sell at present rates. Other sorts have further Kle dined in value, but a fair amount of business has been concluded. At auction 150 boxes of South American were sold.
