DUEL PREVENTED BY A LADY lAt the Westminster Police Court, on Wednesday, a lady applied, evidently labouring under great excitement and mental distress, and stated to the magistrates that her husband having had a quarrel with Mr. John Burne, arrangements bad been made for a hostile meeting between I them." Her husband had assured her that there was no I such intention, but he might have said so merely to quiet her. He had been a military officer, and from his high . . sense of honour, he might feel himself bound to accept the challenge. She further stated that the hostile message bad come from Dublin. Hereupon Mr. Arnold said he knew of but one mode by which the matter could be prevented, which was by taking pro ceedings against her own husband. If she felt that he might be provoked to commit a breach of the peace, he should not hesitate to grant a summons against him. The applicant observed that as it came to the same thing she had no objection to take the course suggested, as she really did apprehend that even if he had no thought of accepting the challenge now, he might be induced ere long to do so. A summons was immediately granted against her husband, returnable at sight, and in an hour afterwards -the gentle man (Mr. M. Mahon) appeared in court. Mr. Arnold, addressing him observed that he had learned from his wife that there was reason to believe he would be induced to fight a duel. Mr. Mahon assured the magistrate that, acting on the advice of a friend, he had taken no notice of the matter. The difference which had originated this matter was not of his seeking, and he had done what he considered proper. Mr. Arnold observed there was reason to fear that he might, through some absurd notion of honour which he was happy to say had now grown almost obsolete, be induced to think that he was bound to agree to a hostile meeting. If he would pledge his honour as a gentleman, that he would abandon all notion of that sort, he would be content. Mr. Mahon thought his wife's interference in the matter had put him in a worse situation than he was in before, as it might expose him to unpleasant consequences, and render him defenceless. Mr. Arnold said that his wife's conduct was that of a lady possessing proper feeling, and he could not see that it placed him in a wrong position. If he heard any more of this, he could claim the protection of the law. Mr. Arnold then repeated the enquiry whether he would pledge his honour as a gentleman, that nothing should induce him to break the peace.—Mr. Mahon. after a long pause, said it might be imputed to hini that he had not the courage to fight.—Mr. Arnold said it could not, after the matter was brought under his cognisance as it had been. He would not require him to enter into sure ties to keep the peace, if he would pledge his honour he would not break it.—Mr. Mahon at length gave the required promise, and was discharged. THE DUBLIN CRIMEAN BANQUET. Considerable progress has been made during the last few days in preparing the great hall for the Crimean ban quet. About, 200 men are employed in erecting the tem porary galleries, painting the ceiling and the columns that support it, putting up various decorations, and making other arrangements to suit the place for the approaching demonstration. The total number of guests for whom the dinner will be provided will be about 4,000, of whom about 3,000 will be Crimean soldiers, the rest being men representing the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, the Constabulary, the Land Transport Service, &c., who have shared in the dangers and glories of the Crimean cappaign. Among the guests also will be the Lord Lieutenant, and staff, a number of di s ti ngu i s h e d persons who will receive invitations, and the members of the committee. Lord Seaton will be present in his official capacity, as commanding the forces in Ireland ; and:the veteran Lord Gough as a member of the committee. Twenty veterans from the Royal Military Hospital, Kilmainham, will receive invitations, and take part with their sons and grandsons at the banquet. The following are some of the other arrangements :—Up to Saturday the tickets for the gallery will be reserved altogether for subscribers and their families. The price fixed is 10s. for gentlemen and ss. for ladies. After Saturday, should any ticksts remain undisposed of, the public generally will be permitted to purchase them at the same price. The only exceptions made are in favour of officers who, should they apply in uniform, and also wearing the Crimean medal, will be admitted to the gallery without charge and without the production of a ticket; officers not in uniform and not wearing the Crimean medal will have to provide them selves with tickets at the usual rate. This rale will be rigidly enforced. No other gratuitous admissions to the gallery will be given upon any pretence; and this regula tion will extend as well to the families of the members of the committee as to strangers. The total number of seats in the gallery for visitors will not exceed 1,000, and as the officers whn will avail themselves of the above privilege will amount to about 300, the av iilahle room for the public will be very limited, and probably very insufficient to accommodate the full number of applicants.. The officers who come up frem the country in charge of soldiers invited to the dinner will share in the banquet, and will dine at the same table, or a table near that occupied by the Lord Mayor, Lord Lieutenant, and committee. Tables for the soldiers will traverse the room, and at the head and foot of each table; members of the committee selected for the purpose, will preside as hosts to do honour to their guests and to superintend the arrangements. - The faro provided will be most liberal. It will be the same for all the tables, and no distinction whatever will be made between the viands supplied to the Lord Lieutenant and the private soldier. Every twenty men will be supplied with joints of prime roast beef, weighing, when cooked, not less than ten pounds, with a leg of mutton of the same weight--a ham weighing at least ten pounds, and two meat pies, con taining each five pounds weight of cooked meat, relieved by roast turkeys, fowl, venison pasties, &c., and other dain ties, and an excellent plum-pudding, weighing not less than fifteen pounds, will also be supplied to each mess of twenty, with bread, potatoes, &e., ad lib. For drinkables, each guest will be supplied with a quart of Dublin first-class XX porter, and a pint of Mr. Henry Brennen's first-class port wine (vintage 1844), with which he has so generously presented the committee. Thus the quantity of solid meat, without taking et ceteras into account, supplied to each man will not be less than 21bs, with lib of plum pudding. It is not certain whether the general public will be permitted to dine at the banquet ; but as the number of guests invited is so great the absence of room will offer a very serious impediment, The building is daily improving in appearance. A host of workmen are busy, like a swarm of bees, in the girders and lattice work of the roof painting and decorating ; workmen are also busy putting up the gallery, and the whole hall is undergoing a complete transformation. All the arrangements are exclusively under the efficient superintendence of Mr. James Owen, the architect of the Board of Works. Under his care everything appears to be rapidly advancing to completion. The Custom-house authorities in London have refused to remit the duty on the wine which will be consumed at the banquet, although held actually within a bonded warehouse. Subscriptions continue to reach the committee from various parts of the country, some of the most liberal being those forwarded from the several stations of the constabulary. TUE EVILS OF QUARANTINE.—A curious occurrence is related as having taken place last week on the territory of Hamburg. Several cattle dealers had crossed the territory from Holstein to the frontier of Mecklenburg, with large herds of oxen, but were not allowed to enter the latter duchy, an order having just been issued to refuse all cattle from Holstein, a contagious disorder being supposed to prevail there. The dealers turned their faces homewards, but when they arrived at the Holstein frontier, they found that, in the interval, a similar anathema had been hurled there against cattle coming from Mecklenburg ; so that the poor fellows are now ercamped between the two countries, not knowing which way to go. COMMITTAL OF A RAILWAY STATION-MASTER FOR MAN SLAUGHTER.—The enquiry touching the death of Anthony Allen, the engineer, who was killed in the collision which occurred last week on the South Wales Railway, has just concluded. The enquiry lasted two days. After a great number of witnesses had been examined, the coroner summed up, and the jury returned the following verdict . " It is unanimously our verdict that the accident is alone and exclusively the result of the neglect and impropQr conduct of Mr. Edward Hancorn in telegraphing the road clear,' thereby causing the coal train to be put in motion at the time he knew the line to be obstructed, the result of which was the death of Anthony Allen." This being a verdict of manslaughter, the coroner issued his warrant - for his committal to the county gaol, lie has, however, escaped for the present. THE LATE DESTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL AT KELSO.—At the meeting of the Commis sioners of Supply for Roxburgsv ire, on Tuesday last, a claim upon the county was given in from Mr. Hope Scott, of Abbotsford, for the loss which he had sustained by the destruction of the Roman Catholic chapel at Kelso, amounting to £412 3j. This sum includes not only the value of the building, which, it may be recollected, was burned down by a lawless mob on the night of the oth of August last, in revenge for some Irish outrage, in which a man was killed, but also of the furniture of the chapel and dwelling house. Independent of the £412 above stated, the Roman Catholic priest gave in a claim of £3O for travelling expenses to Kelso, to perform service on Sundays, for a place to meet in for worship, and house for the use of the teacher. It was agreed to levy an assessment to the amount of 4-12ths of a penny in the pound on all lands and tenememts throughout the county, to meet the claims lodged. SUICIDE OP A NEIVLY-MARRIED WOMAN.-0 11 Wednes day evening an inquest was held at the Ship Inn. Womb well, near Barnsley, on the body of a woman, named Mary Smith. Deceased had married only a fortnight a respectable tradesman in Barnsley, previous to which she had been housekeeper to a publican at West Melton, who on his decease left her an annuity of 183 a week. She made her appearance after marriage at chapel on Sunday last. On Tuesday morning she started to go by train to Wombwell, for the purpose o f se t t li ng some b us iness. Being too late for the train, she proceeded to walk, and after arriving at Wombwell she was seen pacing up and down the banks of the canal. Nothing more was heard of her till a bonnet and veil were found floating in the canal. Drags were procured by the constables, when the body was found the came evening. The 00y reason assigned for the rash act was the change of residence, which preyed much upon her mind, as she had expressed a wish to beg husband to return into the country, as it appeared to her that the sun never shone in Barnsley, The jury returned a verdict of " Tem porary insanity." NORT RN TIMES. The following requisition is in course of signature : TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL. The requisition of the undersigned inhabitants, being ratepayers of the borough of Liverpool, humbly showeth, that the working classes, forming as they do, an important section of the inhabitants of this town, and having the prosperity of its trade and the happiness of its inhabitants at heart, we, most respectfully, beg leave to lay before your Worship their present pressing grievances, in the hope of Obtaining your assistance and advice. We believe that your Worship will be fully aware of the existence in this town for a number of years of certain institutions known as Burial Societies (the majority of whose members consists of the pcorest portion of the popu— lation), whose objects are to provide for the &cent inter ment of their members after deatb, thereby fostering a spirit of independence, engendering habits of prudence and trugarity, besides effecting a large saving to the poor's-rates. That the recent public disclosures relative to the manage. ment of one of these societies, and the admittedly fraudulent transactions of its officers, have shaken the confidence of the working classes in the stability of those institutions under the present system of management.. We, therefore, being fully.convinced of the necessity of establishing a society under the patronage and management of the merchants, tradesmen, and the more intelligent portion of the working classei (such a combination will inspire that confidence in their minds so essential to the progress and prosperity of the institution), do most respect fully request of your Worship, the favour of calling a public meeting of. the inhabitants, to be held on any day most convenient to your Worship, and by acceding to the above reque, you will greatly oblige your very humble servants, the undersigned. MR MACNAUGHT, AND THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION TO TITS EDITOR or THE NORTHERN TINIER Sir,—ln to -day's impression of your paper there is aparagrapli, " Mr. Macnaught, and the Young Men's Christian Associa.. tion," calculated to damage the character of that excellent society in the eyes of the town generally. The paragraph referred to, not only questions the Catholicity of the association, but actually insinuates the charge of disin• geniousness against the whole of its members, singling out, in the most marked manner, " one of the officials !" I cannot, for one moment, doubt that this is a misrepresentation, and, to settle the matter, I beg to suggest that the hon. Secretary give an impartial statement of the facts of the case, through the medium of the press. If this he not done, I submit judgment will go by default, and the religious portixt of the community will look with coldness upon the society, and so hinder its future usefulness. Apologising for trespassing upon your valuable space, I am, &c., OBSER.Vgft. October 17, 1856.

ALARMING AND' DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN :MANCHESTER. At twenty minutes past three on Thursday afternoon, intelligence reached the town's yard that a fire had broken out in the premises occupied by Mr. Thomas Bowker, chemist and druggist, at the corner of Deansgate and Liver pool road. Mr. Rose, with a large body of firemen, and the Water Witch engine, was on the spot in a few minutes, and found the flames bursting from every window in both shop and cellars. Seven jets were soon attached to the high pressure mains, and in a few minutes a complete mastery was obtained over the devouring element, the water having been poured in at the rate of about four tons per minute, till it mea sured about three feet deep in the cellars. The contents of the cellars and shop were completely destroyed, NM the damage is estimated at from £l,OOO to £1,500. The stock was insured in the Imperial office, for a sum which it is thought will make good the loss, but the building, the pro perty of Councillor Bowker, was not insured. The origin of the fire is unknown, further than that the alarm was given by the young man in the shop, Edwin Morton, who, at the time, was working in the front cellar, and observed flames issuing from one of the back cellars. Ho was so scorched in the face and arms that he had to be taken to the Infirmary, where he lies in a precarious condition. It appears that the cellars extend under a sadler's shop in Liverpool road, and a draper's in Deans gate. The stock in the latter was only slightly injured by the smoke, as the proprietor very properly kept the officious crowds off, who would have turned it into the street, but the saddl3r's stock has been very much destroyed by a too great precipitancy to have it saved. FRODSHAM Mv-rvAr, Inix-novnr.tylm Out,inti.—uri inurslay evening a lecture was delivered in the Town-hall, Frodsham, by the Rev. 11. Griffiths, of Liverpool. The subject was " The Theology of History.'' The attendance was numerous. Amongst those present we observed--J. H. Hayes, Rq. ; Rev. T. Neilson, S. Burgess, Esq. ; C. H. Hitchen, Esq.; Mr. Rigby, Mr. Ripton, Mr. Harrison, Mr. James Grice, J. Pickering, Esq. ; Mr. Bethell, Mr. Harrop, Mr. Williams, and others. The lecturer was loudly applauded by the audience, and, at the conclusion, a vote of thanks was moved and seconded, and carried by acclamation. J. H. Hayes, Esq., the chairman, also received the same compli ment. THE BAZAAR wis held last week, and although the weather was unfavourable, there was a large attendance of families from the adjoining districts, and the result has proved highly favourable, The Gas Company has been formed, and in a few months the town may be expected to be lighted up. It is understood, by no means unlikely, that cotton mills will be established in the neighbourhood. THE MOORS AND FORESTS.—The late rains and g reat dearth of birds have caused sportsmen totally to abandon the grouse beats. Those who had not the privilege of deer-stalking or cover shooting have returned south in disgust. The number of game killed clearly shows that this season has been the worst ever seen in the north. Nor need much better sport be expected next year, let the remaining stock breed ever so well, as the bags made this year have been almost entirely filled with old birds. These are principally cocks, from which it appears that the tape proves more fatal to the female bird than the male. In the forests, the stalkers are doing excellent work, although they have had to contend against exces sive rains and changeable winds for the past fortnight. The distinguished party at Glenfiddich have closed their shooting for the season, after enjoying unprecedented success among the deer. On Monday, the 6th inst., Lord Listowell brought down a stag of nine points ; and the same day Major Armitage had two of eight and ten points. Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar was out four days, killing in that time six stags, all of them heavy animals, with fine heads. The Earl of March was out two days, when four stags fell before his rifle. Major Gran ville was out on Friday, and knocked over a pretty stag of ten points. The party at Glenfiddich have, in all, killed this season no fewer than 70 stags and 3 hinds, their average weight being fourteen stones;;clean.—Banff POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. BBFORE MR. STITT, ATTEMPT TO BtruN A WORKSHOP.—Iciseph Coyle, an apprentice to'Mr. Harris, cabinetmaker, of Renshaw-street, was charged with attempting to set fire to his masters's premis.s. 'On Wednesday night, about seven o'clock, Mr. Harris's daughter dis Covered a crate of straw on fire. This was at the foot of the, stairs leading to the workshop, and,from citcumstinvs that transpired, it was conclude d that it was done maliciously by the prisoner, who was rem Ended. COTTON ROBBERY.— In our paper of Monday there appeared a report of a robbery of five bales of cotton, when three persons were remanded. Since that time the officers discovered that the cotton belonged to Messrs. Lessy and Browe, and that it had been stolen from the warehouse of Mr. 'I homas Dour. Yesterday two persons, named Thomas Jones, warehouseman to Mr. Dour, and Henry Gibb, were brought up on a charge of being concerned in the robbery. Mr.. Block appeared for the prisoners. A witness was produced, who stated that he was employed by the prisoners to carry the cotton on the evening it was stolen. The prisoners were remanded ,to . this day. when the other prisoners will be brought up for final examination. GAROTTING.—A well-dressed young woman, named Anne Brice, was charged by a gentleman, named Thomas Linskey, who said he resided in America, under the follow ing circumstances :—He said be was passing through Renshaw -street, when he was accosted by the prisoner, who walked a short distance, and at the corner of a passage be stopped for a moment, *hen two men rushed on and seized him, threatening to beat him for' insulting (as they said) the woman. He ceught hold of.oue of the men and also of the prisoner—the c`ually turned himself out of his coat, leaving- the gt.--. 1 oit in the hands of witness, and thus got away. Ile rptriice,i hold of the woman, who suddenly passed something.to one of the men, and when the police came up he missed his watch. A bunch of seals, that bad been attached to the watch, were found on the street where the parties had been standing, but the watch was gone. The -prosecutor was subjected to a long and able cross-exami nation by Mr. Block, who defended the prisoner. but the original story was not altered. Mr. B 1 ck contended that there was no evidence of a felony, so far as the prisoner was concerned; if sbe bad been seen speaking to the men who attacked the prosecutor, he thought it might be a different case, but, in its present shape, the evidence was not condi'. sive. The prisoner was remanded. Loox TO YOUR DOORS.—Mr. Theodore Heath, of Manesty's lane, charged a decrepid old woman, named Maria hart, with having stolen a purse, containing £l5 in gold, and 26s in silver, from him. Mr. Black defended the prisoner. The complainant said he was about going to bed shortly before twelve o'clock on the previous night; he left his purse, which contained the money, and also his watch, on the table. He went out to look if the door of an ad joining house, belonging to him, was all safe, at the same time-leaving his door ajar; he saw the prisoner as he went out, and, on his r e t urn , he found her coming down the steps of the door. On going in he discovered that the purse had disappeared, and he gave a description of the prisoner, who was subsequently arrested ; and, on a bed where she was laying, the purse and seven sovereigns were found. One of the coins waa identifiel by Mr. Heath, as there happened to be a mark on it. There was a good deal of sparring (in word,-) by the complainant on his cross-examination by Mr. Bluck, but an appeal to his Worship decided that the com plainant was obliged to answer all questions put to him on the point at issue. The case was too clear, even for the ingenuity of Bluck, to extricate the prisoner from it, and being an old hand, as well as an old hag, she was sent for trial. (She had fifty convictions recorded against her.) BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD MORE STABBlNG. —Yesterday, a girl named Catherine Gayuer, was charged with stabbing another female named Ann Mansfield, on Wednesday evening. It appeared that the two . femal, s were each keepers of houses of il'-fame, and had a quarrel, when the prisoner took from her pocket a small peaknife, with which she inflicted a severe wound on the complainant's forehead. In her defence, the prisoner alleged that the complainant harboured her husband, and at the time of the assault, stated that he was then in the house. The allegation was most positively denied, and the prisoner was committed for trial. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—A girl, about fourteen years of age, named Graham, was charged by detective officer Patrick, with having stolen upwards of 120 silk handker chiefs from the premises of Mr. Earp, clothier and outfitter, Lord street. It appeared that the m o th er an d s i s t ers o f prisoner were employed in making waistcoats for that establishment, and that she was in the h of going for the work, and taking it borne, on which occasions she made it a practice to take the pronerty from a room through which she had to pass. Mr. Pilkington, the manager of the establishment, said he had missed property since the month of February last, to such an extent, that, on the preceding day, he had set a lad to watch in the room. ebb she wanted soul* trimmings, and was told to go to the room for them. As she returned, she was seen by the lad, who was watching, to open a drawer and take out some silk hand kerchiefs, with which she was leavin ,, , when the alarm was given ; she attempted to make her escope, but was cap - tured with the property in her possession. She then confessed to the various robberies, and took the officer to nine different pawn-offices, where she had pledged the hand kerchiefs at different times. The property was produced, and identified by Mr. Earp's manager, who stated, from the amount of money the prisoner had raised on the articles, and the careful manner in . which they were separated, it was quite evident that other parties must have been cognisant of the robberies, and assisted her in making away with the property. Mr. Mansfield was of opinion that the parents must have assisted her, and it would therefore be an act of kindness to take her away from such people who bad encouraged her in such acts, and thus prevent her from doing so again ; he should therefore remand her for seven days, and then send her to a reformatory. With regard to the pawnbrokers, he said he thought they had acted with great carelessness, in not making more enquiries, seeing that the handkerchiefs were new, and should direct them to be restored to the owner without any expenses ; but as Mr. Spence had, on this occasion, behaved emedingly well, he should advise the manager to give hits some remuneration. The mother of the girl was in court, but offered no remarks. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY BEFORE MR. CIMMISSIINER PERRY. in re WILLIAM TYSqN.--His Honour delivered judg ment at twelve o'clock this day, on the question of the pass ing of the last examination. The bankrupt was in attendance with his solicitor, Mr. John Yates, jun. ; and Mr. Lowndes a pp ear ed for the assigne es . Hi s lonour referred to the two 'different versions which the bankrupt gave of his disposal of the £3,000 borrowed on mortgage from Mr. Humphreys. and observed that in the fail of suclimisrepresen tation, the court should decline to pass the last examination. Mr. Yates urged that the court should now pass the last examination, and deal with a e alleged misrepresentation when the bankrupt came up for his certificate. It did not affect the substantial question whether or not the bankrupt had now made a full disclosure of his estate, and if the court considered that such a disclosure had not been made, then he (Mr. Yates) would ask that the bankrupt be now examined to that effect. He did not see what purpose it would serve to keep the examination open. Mr. Lowndes replied that the bankrupt had not accounted satisfactorily, and that, under present circumstances, he would oppose hie further examination. Mr. Yates then expressed a wish that hja LLB that he (Mr. Yates) might know the position in which he was should he determine on appealing. His Honour replied that he could only repeat that he declined to pass the last examination in consequence of the different versions given by the bankrupt of the transaction in question, and also in consequence of his not having answered to the satisfaction of the court. Mr. Yates said he should, under the eircum stanceq, ask the court for another opportunity for the bank rupt to present himself for the purpose of being examined, and of giving such further explanation as he might be able. Mr. Lowndes objected to any further argument in the case, the Commissioner hiving given his decision. Mr. Yates : Then do you want a third version of this affair ? Mr. l.owncles : Yes, if he gives us a true account of the £3,000. Mr. Yates : He has already given it. Mr. Lowndes Indeed, he has not. The matter then dropped, and the order for the adjournment of the last examination sine die made. Mr. Yates, before he left the court, intimated, that he would, on a future occasion, apply to his Honour to refix a day for the last examination of the bankrupt. In re THOMAS DAVIS. —The bankrupt was a commission agent in Liverpool. This day his Honour delivered judg ment on the certificate. In consequence of certain railway transactions of the bankrupt, the court felt bound to grant only a certificate of the third class, with twelve months' suspension from the 15th of October, but with protection for the whole time.

TRADE REPORT, ,-FRIDAY, LIVERPOOL COTTON : There was an animated cotton market in the commencement of the week; the demand was extensive, and prices exceedingly firm ; during the last few days, the fears, now for some time entertained respecting the monetary future, having taken greater hold of the public mind, and being increased by the wavering uncertainty expressed in every action taken by the monied interest (causing apprehension that something of a more serious nature than generally, expected lurks in the background), less disposition to operate his been manifested, but the market, although less buoyant, closes extraordinarily firm, and quotations of American must again be raised I-16d per lb. Brazil and Egyptian in good request, at steady prices. Maranham :rather dearer. Surat firm. The weekly sales are 73,000 bales, of which 14,450 are on speculation, and 8,160 for export.

COIR YARN : 6 tons Bombay at £25 103 to ~ e 25 15s per ton. CORN To-day's market was but thinly attended, and the business in wheat has been limitel, owing in a great measure to the absence of a good choice of samples ; the few prime parcels of white and red new . American, as well as all sweet lots of other descriptions, maintained Tuesday's prices, but anything inferior "or out of condition might have been bought the turn lower. Choice flours are exceedingly scarce, and command extreme rates ; inferior sorts are in good demand, also, and difficult to select even at that day's rates. Beans sell at an advance of 6d per quarter, Egyptians commanding 38s for superior quality. Oats and oatmeal steady at previous rates. Indian corn is in good request, and 6d to is per quarter dearer, but few parcels offering.

R. MAKIN & SoNs. PROVISIONS : The tendency of the market for beef is towards lower prices, and the demand does not improve. Large sales of Government returned stores have lately been made, which further prejudice this article. Pork is also dull and a little lower, being also influenced by the Government sales. Holders, however, show considerable firmness. With a fair retail demand for bacon stocks get fast reduced, and the new cure will arrive to a bare market. Lard has further declined, without increasing the demand, and Lthe 'present quotations are nearly nominal. The demand for cheese is steady, at last week's prices. FRUITS : Currants—Since our last report we have had arrivals of currants by two steamers and one sailing vessel, together about 660 tons, the greater part of which were previously sold to arrive, so that it has not had any serious effect upon the market, an.l indeed we are more firm in price than before; at the sales yesterday 74s was paid for finest fruit, and 72s 6d refused for good, and 62s for inferior. We still continue paying duty for consump tion at the same unusual rate noticed in our last, and within the last ten or twelve :days upwards of 300 tons have been taken for consumption • this, together with our former statement, will make about 950 tons du'y paid, since 11th September. and the exports for the same time about 270;tons, thereby leaving 1,330 tons still in bonded stores, a great part of which are no doubt sold to remain in bond for orders. Our advices received yesterday from the Islands, eonfirm previous accounts, that higher prices are paying there, and the crop nearly all cleared off. Raisins—We have had five cargoes of Valencias in here since our last report, making ten cargoes this season, which has tended to retard large sales, and • although we do not hear of any reduction in price, the market wears a dull th..,nexp is peineinalty hnnoht nn_ anti latterly at advanced prices, we see no reason for alarm if the holders are firm. At auction, yesterday, new Sultanas sold at 86s 6d to 90s; a few inferior Turkey red and black were offered, but not sold ; a cargo of Malaga muscatels arrived, but not yet landed. Turkey figs—Considerable arrivals have taken. place latterly without any improve ment in quality. At the sales, yesterday, inferior quality in and 1 drums sold at 52s 6d to 535, and from 56s to 69s for better qualities ; the finest qualities did not sell. A quantity of Malaga tapnets, just arrived, will be sold next week. Green fruit—Lemons are in better demand of late, and rather better prices were obtained at last sales, than before, especially for Malagas. Oranges—None here. Nuts—We have a fair demand for Barcelonas, but in consequence of holders being firm, and asking advanced prices, sales areonly of a retail character. Brazils mostly in the hands of the trade, and are selling at about our quotations. FLETCHER & FIRTH. YESTERDAY 'S MARKET, CORK BUTTER : There was a large supply of butter at to•day's market, and a good enquiry prevailed. The rates current were—Firsts, 115 s ; Seconds, 1144 ; Thirds, 105 s ; Fourths. 102 s ; Fifths. 98s per cwt. The quantity on sale was 2,700 kegs and firkins. LONDON. SUGAR : We have had av - ery ... active and large genera! demand for this article d ur i ng t h e week, at gradually' increasing prices, establishing an advance of fully is 6d on the week. The demand being chiefly for consumption imparts much confidence to the market. Refined has also advanced, and grocery lumps were quoted 58s to 625. COFFEE : The public sales have embraced a full average quantity, and last week's prices have been about supported, but there has been an absence of spirit in the market• TEA : Two cargoes of the new crop have arrived, and about 5,000 chests of Congou sold from is 9d to 2s 3d, and a parcel reported to-day at 2s 4d. RICE : The amount of business done has been rather small, and prices again show a slight decline. Rum : The market has been dull, but prices are unaltered. SALTPETRE has advanced 6d to Is, with a limited amount of business doing. Refraction 2 to 10 quoted 353 to 375. SPICES : Pepper has sold with difficulty at about last week's prices ; other descriptions have fully supported previous rates. . . _ COTTON : A large business has again been done ; say 4,500 bales sold during the week at extreme prices. • • INDIGO (2nd day) 1.300 chests passed auetion-230 withdrawn, 300 bought in, 770 sold.

Lin FOR WA RPS IN C OTTON M ANUFA CTURES.— An invention, as well as th e trade, is just now beginning to attrac t atten tion in La ncas hi re. It is a discovery by M r . John Lei g h, which is of con s id era bl e i n terest to the public surgeon and analytical chemist to the Manchester Corpora.. tion Gasworks, of a substitute for the size hitherto made from flour, which is used in the manufacture of cotton cloth. This substitute is made of a silicate of soda, or preparation of sand Several manufacturers at Blackburn have been engaged in the experiments necessary to test its efficiency, and 400 to 500 pieces of cloth have been made with this description of de e for th e warps. The cloth in which it has been used is q uite e qual in colour a n d softness, whilst e xpel iments have shown that it d oes no t i n t er f e re with the s t re ngth of the fabric, or pro d uce any deteriorat i ng c h em i ca l e ff ec ts. It is cal cu l ated that a saving of 25 to 60 per cent will be effected by th e a d option of th i s i nstea d o f fl our s i ze, whilst the quantity of flour which will be set at liberty for the purposes o f f ood, should it become genera ll y a d opted, will be equ a l, i t i s thought, to a b out £3,000 ,000 to £3,500,000 per annum. On an average i t i s estimated o th s at wo a u b l o d ut so a poy s m u t c h h e flour is useded in it s manu f acture gag s in making c o tt on c l ot h with bread ; and, besides the size used in manufacturing cloth at hom e , we s hip a good many sized warps to foreign Markets.
