MANSFIELD. THE MAN THAT WAS NOT HAPPY WITH EITHER —Two young women, named Sarah M'Keima and Mary Anne Ellis, apparently belonging to the better mechanical class of society, were brought up by officer 559, on a charge of fighting in Scotland-road the previous night. It appeared that one of the ladies fell about nine feet deep in love, with a certain young man, whose name she would not mention for diamond dust, nor any other dross of that sort. The previous cvening she 'was going along The road, to have a stolen interview with her "darling," when she met with the other. "Sally," says she, "you don't intend to defraud me of that young man ?' "Well," says Sally, "if that young man falls In love. with me, that's his own affair ' and I can't help it." " You're no better than you amid be," says Mary to Sally. Now, Sally thought she was very much better than that, and she told her opponent in affection, towards the nameless young man, what she thought of her. Some interesting discussion followed, in which certain words of uncertain meanings were exchanged. At last, it was agreed to try who was to have the young man by a trial of arms, and the victor was to have the sole right and title to him from that time henceforward, and 'to it they went like a pair , of furious elephants.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening. The Liverpool Cotton market continues active, and to-day a, large business has been done at full prices, the sales reaching 10,000 bales, of which . 3,ooo have been taken for speculation and export. The amount of business done to-day in the Liver pool Stock Exchange has been very small, as will be seen by the following, which comprise all the transactions : --Lancashire and Yorkshire, 94%, 941, 94a ; Lancaster and. Carlisle, Kendal and Winder mere, 9:4; London and North-Western, 947,c, 95 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, g 15-16 c ; St. Helen's Railway and Canal 4% per cent. D, 98c. There has been no great amount of business done in London - in the Public Securities to-day, and the fluctuations in prices have been quite unimportant. Consols opened a shade under the closing prices of yesterday, and at noon stood at 95% to 951, and sub sequently became a little firmer, finally closing at 95- r , to 951. The London Share Market was dull all day, and, with a very small amount of business, prices were rather lower. The final closing prices were :-Ambergate, 6, 61 ; Caledonian, 841, 841 ; Do. pref., 103, 105; Eastern Counties, 591, 601 ; East Lancashire, 92, 93 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 72, 73 ; Great Northern, 102%, 103 ; Ditto A, 86, 88 ; Ditto 8., 132, 133 ; Great Western, 581, 581 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 941, 941; Brighton, 112, 113 ; North-Western, • 941, 95 ; South-Western, 921, 921 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 38, 381 ; Midland 101, 1011 ; North British, 60, 60%; Ditto pref., 111, 113 ; North-Eastern Berwick, 92%, 92 1 ; Leeds, 461, 471 ; York, 761, 76% North Stafford, 4 41, 41 ; South Eastern, 701, 701; Turkish Sixes, 921, 931 ; Do.

The Railway Traffic Returns of the London and North Western Railway, issued to-day, show the receipts for the week to have been 63,5441., being an increase of 3,347/. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, , being an increase of 2,460/. ; and Man -9,0901., being an increase of The Traffic Return of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, week ending sth March, 1859, and corresponding week, 1858, show the receipts to to have been 8,9801. 45., against 8,9421. 17s. 9d. last year. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have passed the following resolution : —" That new Lombardo- Venetian Railway shares, with a certificate for the accruing dividend, may be delivered as old shares." The proprietors of the London and North Western Railway, who were invited to a special general meeting, to be held on the Ist April, to approve a score of bills, some of which involve a considerable extension of the company's system, have just been informed by a supplemental circular that the only bill which will be submitted on that day will be that " For authorising working and traffic arrangements between the London and North Western, Great Northern, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Railway Companies, and for other purposes," and that the other nineteen bills will stand over for consideration at a future date, " according to the progress made with the same respectively in Parlia ment," Another special meeting is now called for the 16th of April, to confirm the heads of arrange ments entered into with the Great Northern and Manchester and Sheffield Companies A special Western Railway Company the London and South is called for the 7th of bills pending in Par- furids; mother huthorisesan amalgamation with, or The half-yearly report of the' directors of the Ottoman Railway Company was read and adopted at the meeting to-day, when the chairman, Sir M. Stephenson, - stated. that the directors had met with every encouragement from the Turkish government, who wished to see a systematic railway communica tion established in the Turkish dominion. The works between Smyrna and Ephsus were proceeding with vigour, and it was hoped thst this portion of the line would be completed by the autumn. The cordial vote of thank was passed tolhe_di,r_ectoy,,,,,„ and San Francisco Railway Company is called for the 20th April. The half-yearly interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum will be payable on the 14th April. The annual meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company is called for the 27th April, and that of the Oriental Bank Corporation for the 28th April. At an adjourned meeting of the London Assurance Corporation, held yesterday, a dividend of 35s per share, free of income tax, was declared for the half year ending Lady-day, 1859. At the 49th annual meeting of the North British Insurance Company, held this month at Edinburgh, the directors' report stated the amount of fire pre miums received during the year 1858 at £30,345, and the amount of new life assurances effected at £377,425, being a considerable increase over the business of any former year, and 100,4941 over that of the year 1857. The claims by death were 79,9571. The profit, amounting to 136,6291, realised since last septennial investigation, allowed the directors, after setting aside one-tenth as .the proprietors' guarantee fund, to declare a bonus addition of 115 s per cent per annum on every policy opened with the company on the participating scale prior to the 31st of December, 1858. The accumulated fund undivided profits was reported, at the 31st Decem ber, 1858, to amount to 88,145/ Gs 10'd, out of which Si per share was carried over to the proprietors' capital stock account, making the paid-up capital amount to 125,0001, leaving the sum of 63,14516310 d as the accumulated fund, out of which the directors recommended the usual dividend of 8 per cent, leaving 53,145/ 6s 10d to be carried to the rest for the next year.

Promissory Notes at is 101 d to is 10ad per rupee. Yesterday was " making-up day" in the railway share market. The supply of London and North Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire stocks has increased, but Great Western. and North British were wanted for the settlement, and on the latter I per cent. " backwardation" was paid. The" continua tion" on Lancashire and Yorkshire stock advanced in the afternoon, however, to 5-16 per cent. The rate of discount for choice bills is maintained at the Bank minimum, but the demand yesterday was not by any means pressing. At the Bank only a moderate amount of business was done. A large mass of bills will arrive at maturity next week. Letters from St. Petersburg announce that the price fixed by the Russian Government for the new Three per Cent. Loan of seventy-five millions of oubles was 68 per cent. It is, therefore, possible rthat there may be some inaccuracy in the telegram quoted a day or two ago, which stated 67 as the price, although that telegram was dated a week later than the letters now received. It appears, however, to be certain that the arrangement has been definitely concluded between the government and- Messrs. Thomson, Bonar and Co., in comb rano tion with the house of Magnus, of Berlin, and other capitalists. We believe we may state that the arrangement has received the signature of the Emperor. Mr. Charles 8011, of the firm of Thompson, Bonar and Co., who has conducted the negotiation at St. Petersburg, is understood to be now on his way home. Further particulars are awaited with much interest. Great inactivity prevailed in the Stock Exchange, but notwithstanding the continued decline on the Paris Bourse, the prices of nearly all securities were well suppor'ed. Consols left off about s per pent, higher than yesterday. About £32,000 in bar gold ,was this day taken from the Bank for exportation to the Continent in payment for silver, the imports of which continue on an extraordinary active scale. . Since Saturday , upwards of £350,000 worth is known to have reached the Thames from Rotterdam, Ant werp, and Hamburgh. Notwithstanding these large imports, the Continental Exchanges this afternoon pre sented, in several instances, a partial recovery. The principal improvement was in bills on Hamburgh and - Belgium. The Copenhagen, at sea ninety-four days r and the Water Nymph and Royal Bride, each eighty-six days, have on freight £236,000 in gold from Melbourne. The £76,000 in gold brought by tie Australian mail to Suez is expected on Thursday. Daily Hews City Article, Tuesday Evening. The English Funds opened without alteration, and have subsequently shewn steadiness. The £30,000 Consols purchased on account of the Court of Chancery having to-day been paid for, the supply of money was thus rendered abundant. The fall on the Paris Bourse, which has now been interrupted for several days, would tend in a much greater degree to revive political distrust, but for a surmise that many of the sales effected may be in anticipa tion of an early loan. It is stated that the capital of the new Credit Mobilier, in process Df concoction under the auspices of Count de Morny, will be one million six hundred thousand pounds, in 80,000 shares of £2O each. Times City Article, Tuesday Evening. THE NEW FRENCH LOAN.—The Herald speaks of the probability of a loan of £8,000,000, to cover a deficiency to that amount, and that the resources of the Bank of France having been already resorted to, it will be necessary to apply elsewhere. The Herald adds that the circum stance that a variety of loan transactions may be concluded if hostilities shall be prevented, induces capitalists to exercise greater reserve than would otherwise be the case. MAIL NEWS.—The heavy portion of the Australian mail is expected to reach Southampton on Thursday. The Spirit of the Age has arrived from China, with 866,000 lbs. of tea. —Thomas S Perringten was indicted for comm on Thomas Campbell, a coloured sailor, on board the American ship Samaritan, of which the pri second mate.

She asked how it was that the child had died with its mouth open, and that its lips and tongae were black. The male prisoner said they must get .it buried as soon as they could, and have it buried ai a still-born child. Mrs. Moselv said it could not lobody ca 2ssed surprise.

NEAPOLITAN EXILES.—The Dublin Daily Express, yesterday', says : "Baron Poerio and the other exiles arrived in Dublin, yesterday (Tuesday) evening, from Cork. We believe they purpose leaving for London via Holyhead by express boat this (Wednesday) morning.

I they were ged the They were oned for fo'urteen WIFE BEATING.—A respectable-looking named ,john Galker, described as a boarding-house keeper, living : it Grafton-street, was charged with having assaulted his wife, a respectable and lady-like person. She stated that the prisoner was in the habit of getting drunk, and when in that state he beat her very badly. The prisoner came home the drunk the previous night, and commenced a furious attack upon her. She got him out of the house, but he got over a back wall, and came in again, and re peated the attack, so that, in order to save her life, she sent for a policeman, and gave him into custody. Asir. Mansfield : Has he ever beaten : you before ? Yes sir, very often, but I Mr.-aye him several times on his promise not to do so, but all no purpose, as it is worse he is getting. I cannot live with him, as .1 am afraid he will kill lue. Oh, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, forgive me. Complainant yelmg man, Prisoner you would murder me some time; I have forgiven you too often, and it will be better for you that I should not. The prisoner begged hard to be let off, and promised never to offend again, but His Worship ordered him to pay a fine of £lO or to be imprisoned for six months, and then to find two sureties in 125 each to keep the peace, or be imprisoned an additional six months. VERY FINE OYSTERS.---A female Hercules, named Cathe rine Boyge, was charged by police-constable 128, with being drunk and disorderly, in Prescot-street, the previous night, at twelve o'clock. The officer said, at the time and place stated, the prisoner was in contact with a man and woman fighting furiously about a basket of oysters. The man and woman wanted to get away from the prisoner, but she stuck to them like a leech, and half a dozen of policemen had to be called to get her away. She was a terror, he said, to the locality. The woman said she was crying out "very fine oysters," when a man and woman came up and " axed her for tuppenorth of natives," she opened, and they devoured them, and the man gave her a shilling, to take the "tuppence " out of it. She had no change, and the public-houses were closing, so the man said he would pay her in the " mornin," Oh, says she, I will keep the shilling, and give you change in the morning. She said the man would not agree to this reasonable proposal, and then a fight followed, and that was all about it. One ,of the bridewell keepers said the prisoner was the greatest annoyance that could be imagined in the neigh bourhood; she got drunk' every night, and created great disturbance ; she would lie down on the street, and it took nearly a brigade of policemen to carry her and her basket of oysters to the station ; she thought nothing of " thrashing" two or three ordinary policemen. She was fined ss, or fourteen days' imprisonment. MORE WIFE BEATlNG.—Patrick Copeland, the husband of Mary Copeland, who keeps a beer shop, in Fontenoy ,' street, was charged for having beaten her. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prosecution, and stated that the prisoner married his client two years ago ; she was then a widow, with a neat business, and a neat couple of children ; the latter remained still, but the business, instead of increasing and multiplying, had nearly evaporated altogether. That was not the fault of the lady (who is a nice looking person), but of the prisoner, whom he described as a vile drunken sot, idle, lazy, and brutish. -The only thing he did was to drink and beat his wife. The complainant was examined, and .proved that the prisoner had acted in the grossest manner towards her. He was ordered to find bail, two sureties in each, and 'himself in £lO, or to be imprisoned for one month. MR. PEARSON' S ADVENTURES. —A gentleman of very respectable appearance, who gave the name of Thomas Pearson, and said he was a gentleman farmer, at Sal e-Moor, T Thi iEe keeper of a certain house µin Hanley-street, was charged for receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Black defended. It is needless to the story told by Mr. Thomas Pearson, the farmer, Moor, and the wiles and stratagems practised on . He appeared to be about 50 years in this breathing world, and certainly his tout ensemble proved him to be the "gentleman, every inch of him." The fair haired Saxon, and she really is a fair girl, Lucy Bennett, is about 22 years of age. The loves of Lucy Bennett and Mr. Thomas Pearson led to the following cross-examination of the latter by Mr. Black. And where do you come from, Mr. Pearson ? That's not very material to you, sir. Mr. Black : Oh, but it is, sir, and what's more, I must have it ; where do you come from, and what are you ? Well, if you must have it, I come from Sale-Moor, and I am a gentleman —a farmer there. Mr. Block : And I suppose you are a married man ? I was, sir. And have you a family ? Yes, my family, at present, cons i s t s o f my h at—it covers all' my family. Mr. Black : You are an uncommonly lucky fellow, I can tell you. Mr. Pearson : I don't know that I am such a lucky fellow after all. Mr. Black : Well, at any rate you are a very handsome man of your age. Mr. Pearson : I am quite aware of that, sir, and my father was a very handsome man before me. Mr. Bluck : Do you swear that?

Mr. Black : You are decidedly a good looking man of your age, no one can doubt that. Witness : No, I defy any one to doubt it, even the fair-haired Saxon at the bar, who stole my chain. (The fair-haired Saxon laughed most outrageously.) Mr. Black: did you tell the " fair-haired Saxon" how much money you had ? Witness : Do you think, sir, I was a fool ? Mr. Black : I don't know whether you are a fool, or anything else ; but did you ? Witness : No. Mr. Black : Why did ? Witness : Why, because I may go out to night, it, so I thought it better to keep it to myself. Dur bove cross-examination the people in the court had holiday of laughter.

I can't see why theSe persons should not be compelled to have a borough license and badge as well as car-drivers, marine store dealers, &c., for to my certain knowledge I have seen many things popped into the old clothes bag that would have sent a store•dealer to the magistrates, if caught. Even the police do not do as they assert their duty at the docks ; that is, to stop these men and examine the contents of their bags.

QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE The increase of 135,000 tons in the stock of pig iron in 1858, combined with the apprehensions of a continental war, caused, at the opening of the year, extensive operations for a fall. There was, therefore, a downward drift of prices until the beginning of this month,when the quotation touched 50s 6d per ton, and when the feeling was one almost of panic, its impulses being guided not by considerations drawn from the inherent stability of the iron market, but by the fluctua tions on the Paris. Bourse. The range of prices, however, did not exceed 2s per ton, either above or below the average rate of 52s 6d per ton for the quarter. The average price in January was 53s 6d, February 51s 11d, and March 525, against 54s 7d, 56s 3d, and 57s ld in these months respec tively last year Thou gh there has been a falling off in the exports to France, Italy, and Germany, in consequence of the per turbed position of Europe, still the 'total deliveries of pig iron amount to 208,000, and show an increatt not wily of 25,000 tons over 1858, but of 15,000 ton s over th e corres ponding period of 1857, when the price was 75s per ton, and when trade had attained an unprecedented extension. Owing to the stoppage of several furnaces, the production is only 232,000 tons, and shows a decrease of 19,000 tons when compared with the preceding three months The stocks have, nevertheless, from the retardment of shipments, increased 24,000 tons, and are now 320,000 tons lying in makers' and warehouse 'keepers' stores. It is worthy of observation that, although Scotch is equal, if not superior, to Staffordshire Pig Iron for foundry pur poses, the prices here are about 15s per ton below those prevailing there. It is thus that our local consumption is rapidly enlarging, and now averages fully. 7,000 tons per week. Several large contracts have recently been made here on Russian and Indian account, for cast-iron pipes and railway chairs. The stock of iron now decreasing at the rate of about 2,500 tons weekly, conjoined with the general belief that the result of the Congress of the European Powers will be the maintenance of peace, has within the last few days caused a large demand for iron, and the price has advanced nearly 2s per ton. But altogether apart from any political events which may interpose to mar our prospects, the iron trade more than confirms the anticipations formed of it before the end of 1858, and is showing signs of activity concurrently with the expanding commerce of the country. Prices are to-day as follows No. 1 Gartsherrie, 56s ; No. 1 Coltness, 55s ' • No. 1 Glengarnock, 55s ; No. 1 Cal der 54s 6d; No. 1 GMB, 53s 6d ; No. 3, 53 s to 63s 6d.
