The judge said it was evident the door had not be enproperly fastened, as it had opened shortly after the tr • • 4 ,41 had started ; and the plaintiff was entitled to the ZVl:lent of the court. As, however, the stick had only L bea b partially injured, he would award the sum of half-a ". ft &HE AFRICAN SLAVER'S DoDGE.—A correspondent of -0 United Service Gazette, writing from the coast of i m rica, narrates the following successful trick of a slaver slaverspi l at e ly the British cruiser :—" It is said two Sardinians;fu have escaped, one from Lagos, a rid another, a Spaniard, from Porto Legino, with 300 and ta Trespectively.

The OF THE R AND OLPH, AND LOSS OF LIFE.— E Rand o lph, E as t I n dia trader, Mr. Dale, master, has been cast ashore on a reef of rocks off the north-east part Ithe 9 ; the Mauritius. The disaster took place on the night of 25th of July, a day or so after she had taken her de parture from Port Louis to Calcutta. She bad received r board at that port 250 steerage passengers, natives, in sisting of men, women, and children, for Calcutta ; also Lieut. Holland and Ensign Scott, of the 48th Regi ea_nt, who occupied the chief cabin. As the vessel L reened over, the scramble for life amongst the crew f i lLftme desperat e . M en , women , and child r en, w e r e seen l u nging to and crawling up the sides of the wreck. Some into the surf, and by clinging to the floating spars Preserved themselves, while others were swept away and met a watery grave, Ensign Scott being amongst those who Perished. The boats happily remained whole and safe. After much suffering, Mr. Dale succeeded in seeing all Safely landed, and the chief officer, Mr. Scott, was de spatched to Port Louis, about 30 miles distant, with intel ligence of the calamity. The lc of the Randolph and day (week), while Mrs. Nasmyth, of Dundonald, was returning from Cardenden Station to her own house, she observed a child floating in a pond which supplies the engine with water, when she immediately threw from her a parasol and leaped into the water, and saved the child, although at the risk of her own life. Dr. Johnston was immediately sent for, and used the necessary means to restore the apparently drowned child to life, with, we are happy to say, the desired effect.—Fifeshire Advertiser. MILKING BY MACHINERY.—On Saturday afternoon, at the September meeting of the Newcastle Farmers'Club, the discussion on the subject of the day having closed, Mr. J. E. Wilkinson amused the members by reading a letter, of the 21st ult., from William Haigh, of Huddersfield, offer ing to supply machinery for milking cows. His charge was 10s. 6d, per set of tour, one for each teat. The ope ration, he asserted, was performed by the machinery in one-half the usual time, and no other superintendence was necessary than that of a child stout enough to carry the pail.—Sunderland Herald. AN OLD FOOTMARK.—Last week a stonecutter at Dumfries obtained a large block of red sandstone from the low quarry at Lockarbriggs. While squaring the stone a loose layer was removed, and on the face of the block thus displayed a long indentation was formed. It proved to be the mark of a human foot, which must have been impressed upon the mass of clay now, in the course of ages afterwards, petrified into hard and solid stone. At the heel and great toe the depth of the impress was considerable, from three quarters of an inch to an inch, and the whole print of the foot was sharp and distinct. — Dumfries Standard. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—It is pretty generally under stood thqt the result of the meeting of the Arctic officers —Sir Edward Parry, Sir James Ross, and Capt. Beechy, at the Admiralty last week, has been the expression of their unanimous conviction that Sir John Franklin has taken the passage to the north-west out of Wellington Channel, and that he must be sought by taking the same route. But it is the opinion of these authorities—while fully recognising, and even insisting upon, the advantages of immediately despatching a steamer to carry on the abandoned search in that direction—that no vessel can be started with any hope of reaching an advanced position in Davis' Straits, and getting into a safe harbour, before the winter. NEW MOVEMENT OF THE ROMAN CATHOLlCS.—Ar rangements are in progress for calling, on as early a day as circumstances will admit, a provincial synod of the newly-appointed hierarchy of the Roman catholic church in England. The synod will be held in the metropolis under the presidency of Cardinal Wiseman, and the most important matter which will come under consideration will be the nature of the canon law to be adopted for the government of the catholic church in this country. It appears that it was in contemplation to hold the synod some weeks since, but it was thought advisable to postpone the proceedings vntil the arrival of Dr. Grant, the newly appointed bishop of Southwark. That prelate having now entered upon his episcopal duties, it is said the twelve En glish bishops will be summoned by the cardinal, and that they will be assisted by Dr. M'Hale, Archbishop of Tufty), in drawing up such a code of canon law as shall be com patible with the social position of the catholics in this country. Dr. M'Halshwill arrive in London in the course of the present week, and will in all probability preach in St. George's Cathedral next Sunday morning.—Morning Herald. POST-OFFICE RETURNS.--Sir W. Clay in the late session required various returns from the Post-office respecting returned letters, and on Friday a paper was printed on the subject. It seems that in two years— from the sth of January, 1849, to the sth of January last, £18,870 10s. 4d., including banknotes, was found in letters returned to the dead letter office, and £1,226,282 18s. ld. in bills, checks, money orders. &c., nearly the whole of which, including the money, was de livered to the writers of the letters. It is stated that no letters are forfeited. If all methods taken to effect the delivery of letters fail, they are brought back, opened and returned to the writers. Letters refused by the writers, and those for which no owner can be found, are destroyed, for the want of space to preserve them. Letters contain ing cash are never destroyed, but the amount, when the writer cannot be found, is paid into the revenue at the ex piration of three years. A registry and index are kept of the letters and their contents, which are restored to any claimants proving themselves to be entitled to them. Dead letters containing bills and property other than money are kept three years. At the expiration of that period they are destroyed, and the property is sent to an auctioneer and sold by public auction. The proceeds are paid to the account of the revenue. LORD PALMERSTON'S VISIT TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. — Lord Palmerston arrived on Monday at Tiverton on a visit to his constituents. His lordship was loudly cheered on reaching the hotel, in front of which some hundreds of persons had been assembled for two or three hours, his lordship having been expected by an earlier train. A few minutes after his arrival his lordship appeared at one of the windows, and briefly addressed the assembly. He thanked them most cordially, and from the bottom of his heart, for the kind and flattering reception which he had experienced. He was happy to say that whenever he had visited Tiverton be had always found himself in the midst of friends ; and if he could by possibility have entertained any doubt as to his reception on the present occasion, that doubt had been most effectually removed. He had arrived at a later hour than he had expected, and he was sorry to have kept his friends waiting ; but as they had shown so much patience he congratulated them on having been favoured with such beautiful weather, and trusted that it would not only be beneficial to their health, but that it would crown the labour of the husbandman by enabling him to harvest a good and satisfactory crop, On Wed nesday a public dinner was given to his lordship, when 150 of his constituents sat down. After dinner Lord Palmerston addressed them at length on the present state of the country.

It is said that " Lord John Russell, in the most kind and handsome manner, and wholly unsolicited by any one, has appointed Mr. James Brotherton, barrister-at-law, and son of Mr. Joseph Brotherton, M.P., to the office of Receiver-General in the Inland Revenue Department." Probably his Lordship knew from experience that a good thing would not be refused by the purest of " patriots." The son of the Turkish ambassador at Berlin, Prince Karadja, has composed a piece of music in valse measure, entitled " Reveries of the Tobacco-pipe," which h as b een performed by the orchestra in Kroll's Summer Gardens.

There is apparently a greater willingness in spinners to take in fresh orders, and where engagements are rapidly coming to an end they do so on easier terms than they were willing to accept a week ago. This, however, does not extend to more than id. per lb.; and some numbers of water twist much in demand, still maintain the prices of last week, particularly where the desire for early delivery can be com pli e d with. Considering the present cautious proceedings of buyers, and the limited orders which for some time have been given out, there is very little pressure of stock on the yarn market, and a majority of spinners are still tolerably well engaged. In cloth, the tendency is in favour of the buyer, but prices are, upon the whole, well sustained, particularly for domestics, T cloths, &c., for which a moderate demand continues to be ex perienced. Lighter fabrics, such as jacconets, madapollams, 40-inch shirtings, &c., are drooping in price, with a limited inquiry. _ _ ROCHDALE.—There is no improvement in the flannel market. The merchants continue to buy very sparingly at previous prices. The manufacturers are beginning to complain that country orders come in rather slackly; and if there is not a change, stocks will begin to increase at the very time of the year when the demand should be the briskest. There is no change in price in wool, but the dealers complain that they have nothing to do. _ _ .„ LliEns.—The woollen trade continues moderately active, an average business is doing; but manufacturers complain that the prices obtained are not sufficiently remunerative. MACCLESFIELD.—Trade here is anything but brisk, with the exception of some descriptions of figured and plain goods, which are much in demand; those of the former description being generally good and new styles just issued. There is evi dently a want of goods; but there is also want of confidence on the part of the wholesale merchants, who do business with very great caution, and offer low rates. It is the apprehension of some of the principal manufacturing houses that the autumn trade is nearly brought to a close. The improved feature in the Manchester market brought several buyers to the town on Friday; but the business done was but little more than the average of the few past weeks. In the trimming business there is not much doing, with the exception of gimp, which conti nues good. The dyers are slack of work. NOTTINGHAM. — Lace: The quiet state of our business re ported for the few past weeks still continues, notwithstanding it as a period when we usually expect to have more trade than at any other time of the 5 ear. The principal business doing has been in black silk laces. Plain nets have not yet been sold at higher prices, although an advance is needed upon those goods, the makes of which are dissatisfied with present prices, as they know they must shortly have to give a higher price for doubled yarn, cops being scarce at an advanced price, in con- sequence of a considerably increased foreign demand.— Hosiery: We have had a more animated business this week than we have experienced for some time, having had a fair de mand for the country trade, with the addition of some consider able orders for the United States for hose, drawers, and shirts of the heavier descriptions. Orders are not yet given for fashioned hose or gloves. but they are shortly expected. The vice of yarn is not altered. PRESTON, SE PT. 27.—Several vessels have worked up during the week, laden with Grain (chiefly Oats) and Oatmeal from Ireland. The dealers continue to act with extreme caution in all their operations; and increased deliveries from the farmers around us tending still further to depreciate the value of each article of the trade, they have had no difficulty in supplying their immediate requirements from day to day at a gradual decline in prices. There was a liberal supply of English Wheat at our Corn Exchange this morning, a considerable quantity of which was of middling quality, and met a slow sale at irre gular prices ; whilst fine samples were readily cleared at full rates. No new Irish at hand. Old Foreign declined Id. per bushel. Flour meets a languid sale, at an abatement of Is. per pack. Oats in fair request. Oatmeal offered freely at a reduction of 2s. per load. WAKEFIELD, SErr. 26.—We have a moderate arrival of wheat, but the show of new is not so good as last week ; buyers act with More confidence, and the prices of last Friday arc somewhat exceeded. A fair quantity of new barley is offering, and the best qualities are taken at a decline of 2s. per quarter. Oats are id. per stone, and shelling Is. per quarter cheaper. Beans and other articles are without alteration. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 27.—Until Thursday morning, last the weather ruled fair. but since then it has rained without intermission, accompanied, on Thursday night, with a perfect hurricane of wind from the north-east. There is still a good deal of corn out in the fields in the lake districts of this county, which must have sustained injury. The quantity of new Wheat to-day from the farmers was much about the same as last Saturday, although greatly inferior both in quality and condition. Fine dry parcels were selected early, at a trifling advance, whilst other descriptions maintained late rates, and a good clearance was effected. There was only a limited supply of south country new, vi hich was disposed of at prices quite equal to this day se'nnight :—say 375. to 38s. per quarter, 63 to 64 lbs. per bushel. For old Wheat, English as well as foreign, there was' an improved demand, and some quantity changed hands at priecs that could not be realized during the week. There has been no sales of Malting Barley yet, and grinding is without alteration in value. English and Scotch old O a t s main tain late rates; new, however, are Is. per quarter cheaper, Foreign still continues 6ifficult to quit. Rye in great demand for export to the continent. Pease are held for more money. In the value of Beans no change. Flour as last quoted. The Potato disease spreads rapidly in this district. WISBECH, SEP. 27.—There is only a moderate supply of Wheat here to-day, and fully Is. more money is paid for all kinds. Oats are more plentiful, and ls. per quarter cheaper. Beans no alteration. DUBLIN, SEPT. 26.—There was a good supply of new grain at the market to-day. Wheat, oats, and distillers' barley, met a quiet demand at about the currencies of Tuesday, except oats, which were in some instances a shade lower. Malting barley was 3d. dearer. Old grain, and Indian Corn continues extremely depressed. White Wheat.. 17s Od to 21s Od Barley Ils Od to 148 94 Red d 0... ..... 16s Od to 19s 04 New Rapeseed 14s 64 to IGs Od New Oats ....

At the Corn Exchange we havo a fair show of samples in good condition, which quickly meet buyers. lIELFAST, SEPT. Z.—The weather has continued favourable since our last, but to-day we have the equinoxial gales in full force. There is still a considerable extent of Oats uncut in this neighbourhood, but other crops are generally pretty well housed. There has been no increased activity in the trade this week ; buyers, on the contrary, were rather reserved in their operations, and business has not been extensive. The reports of the Potato crop in this vicinity, we regret to say, do not im prove; and we can only confirm the opinion expressed in our last, that as food for the poor during the coming winter and spring, Potatoes cannot be calculated on. In other localities, however, the injury sustained has not been at all so general.— At this day's market the supply of home-grown Wheat was large, and sellers of foreign were numerous. The demand for Irish was dull at 7s. to 7s. 11d. per cwt.; while foreign parcels, in store, met little attention. New Oats, with a dull demand, sold at ss. to Gs. 3d.; old, 6s. to 7s. 6d. per cwt. The supply of Oatmeal was large, and the demand but middling. Flour dull of sale at previous prices. Indian Corn not much sought for, and prices barely maintained. CATTLE MA RICE TS LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.—The supply of Beasts and Sheep was not Quite so heavy as last week, there being 174 fewer Beasts, and 1882 'fewer Sheep. Still there was abundance for the demand, which was very languid, and prices very variable. The heavy stock we have had these several weeks past has materially assisted in producing this state of things.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 25.—The market to-day was very well attended, but sellers had to submit to a considerable reduction in prices, graziers saying that heifers. bought at Ballinasloe last October, are not paying them over three pounds a-head for year's grass. Sheep were also lower. Prices of beef. in sink, 355. Od. to 425. per cwt. ; mutton, 40. to 50 ; veal, 6d. per lb. in do.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 26.—The British andirish markets, up to this time in the course of the present week, appear to exhi bit the same feelings of indifference as of late; ample supplies from the growers, and an urgent desire on their part to effect sales, still keeping the trade in a drooping and contingent pos ture: The arrivals into this port during the last three days. from Ireland, include little more than a moderate quantity of Oats and Oatmeal, and coastwise only a few trivial lots of Grain . and Flour : the American States and Canada, however. furnish Within the same period 6286 qrs. of Wheat, 6158 qrs. of Indian Corn, and 65,522 brls. of Flour; theimport of European produce comprising 1740 qrs. of Wheat,_ 500 qrs. Beans, and 4577 sacks of Flour, the latter from France; and that from Egypt merely 1740 qrs. of Beans. Early yesterday morning we had a sudden change in the weather, heavy rain falling with little intermission until night, and to-day is showery and un settled; which, after the completion of harvest in these dis tricts, and the long season of drought, will, on the eve of Wheat-sowing, bring the soil into a proper state for that pun pose. Although our Corn Exchange to-day was tolerably well attended by home and country millers, the demand for old Wheats, both English and foreign, was..upon a very moderate scale, partly on Irish account. with a few parcels taken for the interior, In some cases on rather easier terms, but more gene rally at the current rates of Tuesday; English and Irish new Wheats, the former being prime in quality and condition and the latter mostly good, continuing in fair request at prices nearly equal to our last quotations. Notwithstanding the pre sent glut of arrivals of Flour, importers are firm for all prime brands, which are held steadily at full prices, the inferior kinds alone declining 3d. to 6d. per brl.; French Flour at the same time being in moderate request at late prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease remained precisely in the same state as last noted. Oats were in slow request at a decline of Id. per4slbs., and Oatmeal receded further again to day 6d. per load.
