stand out in bold relief, are executed in the most

The diameter of the dish is 2 ft. :I in., aml as we

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Sept. 28. Price* are firm for clothe,
but there is not quite no much business as last week. lii
long cloths and T-clotlis producers are in an easier lasi.
tion, owing to stacks having been much lightened. lu
some kinds of these goods producers are refusing pre-
sent rates and prefer holding their goods, from • belief
Olathe demand will go on improving and lead to tttttre
profitable rates. Dotuestitm are steady. and the prices
of nai row printing cloths are well sustained, in c.ase-
quence of makers being well under contract. For 40-
inch abir Inge mikers are tolerably well supplied with
orders. but prices, though deal, are not satisfactory.
Yarn. are in moderately good 'demand for the home
trade, and warps and rope arc firm. Some spinners
exact vcry full rates. Yarns adapted for the German
markets are also to request. There in not much busis
near in East India mule, but quotations are steady.
Telt grams hum Calcutta to the Ist inst. speak of an im-
provement there, and toward. the close of business to-
day it transpired that a good deal of business had been
done in cloths on the face of these advices.

The Atlantic and Great Western Railway onspany
have announced an issue of £lOO,OOO 7 per cent deben-
tures, with dividend trona the let of July last, at 80.
This line is in course of construction to connect the New
York and Erie with the extensive railwsy system of the
west cud south. It will be 378 miles in length, and
will open up an unbroken route of 1.200 miles front
New York to St. Louis. Apparently it is likely to
command a large share of the must important traffic in
the States, while it will also possess an active local
trade, since it patties through some of the best agricul-
tural districts of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
The contract cost into be £7,400 per mile, and a pecu-
liar feature of the undertaking is that Senor de Sala-
inanca. the Spanish banker, appears as the principal
contractor. The bonds now to be put forth are se-
cured by a first mortgage on that section of the work
which pear°s through the State of New York, and whit.le
has just been finished and opened, awl the holders are
to enjoy until the lat of January, 18114, the option of
having thew converted into shares. To the Erie Com-
pany the undertaking is obviously of vital importance,
since its efiect must be to change their road from • local
into • grand trunk line. They have accordingly agree I
to pay to the Atlantic and Great Western company a
bonus of 10 per cent. on all the traffic to he derived front
the connexion duri.ig five years from completion, and of
5 per mot. fur five years thereafter. When the concern
was started, two or three years back, there were many
attempts to excite prejudice against it, but, as far as
can he judged from the at:dements 1110 W presented and
the geographical bearings of the route, it seems one of
the most legitimate that could have been brought
forward.

THE EDINBURGH ANNUITY TAX.—The Edinburgh
Town Council last week passed • series of revolutions
for the imposition of the annuity commutation aeeess-
ii out, with the police rate, in terms of the late
Act. The assessment for the combined purposes is
Is. 'Jilt per pound on four-fifths of the clear soilusi
rental or value, within the royalty, and Is. 4.1. beyond
tile royalty. A large majority of the Council, al may
be remembered, strenuously opposed the imadlig of the
Act, demanding still more favoursble terms, mid a sec-
tion of the opponents of the tax still oppose all
resolutions to work out the Act, and threaten
to resign their seat- in November rather than put their
names to the bonds for payment of stipend to the city
clergy.

BLANDFORD.

Emir Douarr Honsos.— On Wednesday last,
these bounds met, as we announced, in the Shroton
Fair field, and as the first day of the season is rather
noted for the in'ixed hundreds alio make up the
field than for the hunting attractions of the time.
honoured meet, an exceptional day of fine weather
drew together a larger number of mounted and
walking sportsmen than usual. Deniacomb, who
bunted the hounds daring the past season, has been
obliged to give up on account of ill-health, and is
succeeded by Smith, the first whip. The working
condition of the hounds appeared to be excellent,
as there is plenty of countryand no lack of foxes,
the fox•hunting character of our neighbourhood is
likely to be maintained during the coming season
with more than wonted spirit. The day's sport
terminated, after killing a brace of foxes in a neigh-
bouring wood.
Bousyr easTuat..---The proposed day—the hat of
October—for opening the first section of thi. line, was
necmarily postponed for the purpose of fixing
another turn-table, as ordered by the Board of Trade.
The delay appears to be wholly required for this one
object, at least we are informed on official authority,
that no other alteration or addition of importance is
deemed ni.voisary, and that within a few days from
the 10th of this th the event will come off.
Should a suitable turn-table be immediately obtained,
the delay in getting one made would lie avoided, and
the opening day be probably fixed for the 10th inst.,
but, we understand, the Mayor is in communication
with the South- W esteru Board, and that the corpo-
ration intend announcing to the public the day fixed
on for the opening when they receive official infor-
matiou decisive on the subject.

THE CASE OF THE DORSET LABOITREAS.

To the Editor of the Dorset County Express and
Agricultural Gazette.

SIR, —I have read in your paper an amount of the
Petty Sessions at Wareham ; and, being the bailiff of
Mr. Filliter, I hope you will give sic leave to cohtradiet
what iv there said respecting the four labourers who
were summoned and punished for leaving their work,
all on the same day and in the midst of our harvest, at
a time, too, when all hands were wanted to get it in.
This account says that " the complainant stipulated that
"lila men udwul4 work at 84. a week and a fourisenny
per week cottage during the hot harvest work
an I find their own drink." It oleo says that the agree-
ment was "signed and sealed" by the men. Now the
writer of thia account must have haws that this was
Julie, for all the agreements were produced, and they
were 5,4 "sealed" though they were signed, and they
were Net for the "hot harvest work" but for a pear,
and the men did net all "work at Bs. a week;" for
Maslen's agreement proved that he had 104. a week,
(not "So") ; and the Willshires' agreement proved that
their father had 9s. and the two sons Bs. each ; another
son, a boy, bad ii., so that I paid the Willshires lOs. •
week. The father had lesides, task work during hay-
making and harvest, and this made their last three
week's wages t to Li Uls., which I paid them only
the eveniug before the two sena left work ; they also
had a good cottage with garden and fuel, and potato
ground. The cottages (which they all had rent free) are
some of the beat in the neighbourhood, they are built of
brick and are slated, the routes are of a good size and 8
feet high. Two of these cottages are on the Here
turnpike road, 2 wiles from Wareham. Even the names
of the men are wrone. for Rawles'a name is James (not
(;eorge) and the Willshires' names are Henry and
George (not James and William), and the writer of this
false account inuat have known that the youths Henry
alai George Willshire, no far from finding "their own
drink," had, at their own request, ale from the brewers
instead of malt which the other labourers had ; and
they—with their younger brother, had had 18 gallons;
and, if they had not left their work, they would have
had 21 gallons more. Rawles and Pope were employed
in mowing by the acre, at a price which jut! uded
" drink." I would just add, that all these labourers
had absented themselvea at different timed before, but
were not presecuted.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
THOMAS CURTIS.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Saturday Morning.
The Moniteur says :—" The Naval Board of
Venice has informed the Chambers of Commenie
that, by order of the military governor, the lightinu
of the canals, the port, and the Venetian coast must
be suspended until further instructions. This mea-
sure alio applies to the two lights of Malsmocoo and
Piave."

The ronstiturionee/ publishes an article, signed E.
Die°lle, announcing the despatch of another division
to Rome, and add.: —This measure is taken in con-
sequenee of the late events accomplished in Italy.
and the revolutionary character of Garibahli's last
acts. In 1860. &sin 1849, France will protect Rome
and the Papacy against the attacks of demagogues."
M. Dreolle thinks that the presence of a French
corps darmie at Rome will suffice to prevent any
assault against or revolutionary movement within
that city; hut, in the contrary case, the French
battalions will form an invincible barrier for the pro-
tection of the Eternal City and the authority of the
Chief of the Church. In augmenting the army of
occupation the French Government renders the pro-
tection of the city of Rome more efficacious, but re•
spects the principle of nonintervention.
M. Dreolle also expresses a hope that the attitude
of France will strengthen the salutary reaction in
Italy against the consequence and dangers of the
spirit of disorder.
Marshall Valliant, the defender of Rome in 1849.
will, in case of need, assume the command in chief
of the army of occupation, should the patrimony of
St. Peter be threatened either by Garibaldi or
Piedmont.

THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT AND

THE D.C.C.

To the Editor of the_Dor.set County ErpreAx and

Xgricidtural Ginette.

SIR,--1 have just been reading part of the leader
in the Dorm( Chronicle of September sth (for it is
no small task to wadi, through the s bole of any of
its editorial articles), on, %hat the writer terms,
"that strange and reckless social nuisance, the Early
Closing Movement." Ica t help thinking he is
sadly mistaken, notwithstanding his boasted "ex-
perience of the world," in the view he takes of this
matter, as well as many others I could name.
Because sonic "men-milliners" after business hours
attend the theatres, public houses, and other places
of "mysterious temptations." in which it would
apjwar, by the Editor's "sail convictions," he Inui
had his share, he would have the whole of the
persons engaged in business as shop assistants denied
the privilege of a few hours' more leisure. It is to
be hoped that not all the linenampers' Assistants (the
class he pretends to know most about), waste their
leisure time in the debaucheries so freely charged
against them. Let him look on the other side of
the question, and enumerate • few of the good
results of early clueing—such as Young Men's Chris-
tian Institutes, Debating Societies, and Lecture
Rooms, which have risen up and prospered, and are,
in a great measure, supportea by the class of persons
be would have us believe arc tit for nothing but to
attend at dancing saloons, theatres, &c., and then
say if his " sad convictions" are not a little shaken.
It seems to me to be very unjust that the whole of
any class of the community shoula be deprived of a
great privilege because of the folly and indiscretion
of a portion. I maintain, Sir, that the Early Clos-
ing Movement will be a great boots to employers as
well as shop assistants, both in summer and winter,
and that the vigorous efforts of the committee in
London could hardly be directed to the promotion of
abetter cause.

1 am, Sir,
Yours respectfully.
NOT A "MAN-MILLINER."

Patrut sugar Ooatrb Pills.

The process of coating the pills with sugar has com-
pelled the Proprietors to take out Letters Patent of
Great Britain, in order to protect them from imitation,
their s‘sci•liarine eosering, which is coult rde row (pink ),
distinguishing them from all others. They are pleasant
to the taste, and may be taken by the most delieato
female or child, without fear of nausea or di...comfort,
gliding down imperceptibly like a sugar plain.
HEALTH DEPENDS UPON PURE BLOOD.

Our race is subject to an overflow of vitiated bile,
which is both prevalent awl dangerous ; but these Pills
afford an invaluable and efficient protection. Their we
prevents the collection of those impurities which tuna*
SO much danger to the fine organs of the stomach and
bowels. They soon cure liver complaints, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, flatulence, wind and griping in the stomach
and bowels, diarrlima. loss of appetite, headache, heart-
burn, pain in the chest, sudden faintness and costive-
scorbutic affections, skin eruptions, deep-sested
ulcers, kc.; also acting most visibly on the complexion,
preserving, improving, softening, and beautifying the
sLin, thereby giving that blooming and *harming
appearance so desirable, yet so vainly sought
for by all. In brief, these Pills work their
way to the very roots of each disease, cleansing
in their passage, removing every unhealthy accumu-
lation, till the blood is purified, the whole systeui rear
vateil, and all the functions acting according to nature,
the duties of life become a pleasure, where before they
had been sad and weary burdens. They

THE STEPNEY MURDER.

On Thursday morning last Sergeants Tanner and
Thomas, tor the chief detective office, Great Scotland-
yard. proceeded to the residence of the onan Mullins,
No. 33, Barnsley-street, Laiub's-fields, Betbnal-green,
and made • thorough search. An apron was famed
with staina upon it, and is believed to have belonged to
the dexased. It also seems that the loan produced
et the inquest on Monday afternoon by Inspectoe
Thornton was disoovereol 3uried tinder the hearth-stone
in the room which Mullin, occupied. A large hole,
apparently recently made. was found in the cupboard.
Ii app..nor4 that Mullins WaK at work for Mr. :lowland,
who collected fin the deceased and other (Nimes of pro-
perty, on Monday, the 13th ult., at the house of a
Mr. Clark, a cooper, of No. 10, Teinple-terrace, Lamb's-
fields. He was ordered to make •undry repairs, and be
left the house between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon,,
anti WWI not Well ie the neighbourhood afterwards.
He never ouunoleted bin work at that place, but had
been seen by Mr. Rowland loitering about and
drinking aa several public-bousee i., Betlinel-green.
He also for some days afterwards was observed to he
rather inure tree with his money than usual. Mullins,
when in the K division as • sergeant, was promoted
through the interference or the laSe Mr. Einsley, the
husband of the unfortunate lady. He was subsequently
superannuated, and was allowed a mum of £'3s per
Juliann, and while enjoying the pension he obtained a
locrative appointment at the Bricklayers' Arnie station,
of the Soeth b*.a.itern Railway, where he was detested
carrying on all extensive sondem of plunder, for which be
underwent 6 years' penal servitude, and not 4 years, as
previously stated.
It was report,d on Thursday morning too the detective
police, that Mullins was to be brought up on Monday,
(yesterday) the adjourned inquest at the Railway Hotel,
Grove-road, before Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, whosse
applicatiom to the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment has been successful.
Mr. Rowland was the first person to give information
to police as to his auspicion or the man Mullins. He had
closely watched bun fur some days, and believed that
IVY the murderer.

We notice in our columns to-day the announcement
of • firm in Hull, Masers. Howard & iv which
they introduce • new article into the culinary branch
of household management, "Howard'. Indian Confection
Flour." A soluble flour made by a peculiar process
fruus India corn, and we believe possessing great nutri-
ment. It is prepared for puddings and all descriptions
of sweets, and we should fancy that during the high
price of meat it will be found very useful and economical,
and no doubt come into large consumption. We under-
stand it is spoken of in high terins by the medical pro-
fession. and a winning baited to shady's& and invalids.

M ANSACRI IN SYNIA.—Ou Saturday the I I th inst.,
a public meeting was held at the Townhall, E. H in.
ton. Esq., in the chair, to raise a subscription
towards relieving the sufferers from the late massacre.
The Chairman, after bristly addressing the meeting,
said that lie would read a paper received by him from
the London Committee, stating that 150 towns had
been utterly destroyed; that 10,04 m houses, churches,
and public buildings, had been burnt and destroyed;
70,000 men, women, and children left without a
home, and 16,000 christians murdered ; that
1000 women had been sold as slaves for Nloalem
harems, at a few shillings each, the men being forced
to marry with Moslem women and to embrace
Islamism, while their wives and daughters were sold
into slavery. It was proposed and seconded that a
subscription list be opened. •

THE PAPAL STATES.

A letter from Home, dated the 4th inst.. says :
Them is no longer any doubt of the fact that Count
Cavour has sent a note t the Papal Government
iletnandin:, the diabanding of the mercenary troops in
the Pope's service, and threatening Pri invasion in ca.°
of refusal. The Cour: of Home appealed to France.
The reply was that she would defend Rome and its
suburbs, the towns of Claus Vecchia, and Viterbo, but
no Dane. To add facts to promises, two more French
regiments are on their way here.
General de Noun's mission is above all things toi
defend the life of the Sovereign Pontiff,and the province
called the patrimony of St. Peter, which has a popula-
tion of 472,334 inhabitants, thus divided : —Rows cud

Of course, this does not satisfy the Sacred College.

the King of Naples. the Pope will fight before surrendt r-
ing. • may therefore daily expect to be at war.
thedinontese camps have been funned at Arerso and La
CAW,lieu, and it is in that quarter that fighting will take
place. There are about 15,000 Papal troop+ at Perugia

the continual performance of some excelleet music by

STATE OF TRADE.

Lsicarnat, Sept. 12. There is very littlo alteration
to report in the state of the hoisery trade ; the home
demand is dull, but the splendid harvest weather causes
labour to be in request, •nd those who :ire short of
worl. at the frame may obtain it in the corn fields. In
the orintry the hoiaery trade remains dull. Yarns are
selling at late rate.. Ti,. wool.inarket is steady, and
prioes are without material change.
NOITINGHAN. 12th.—The lace trade continues ex•
ceedingly depressed. A 4 respects cotton goods nearly
every branch is dull. The denisnd for platn nets has
materially fallen off, and in fancies there is nothing like
an avenge amount of business doing. The dema.ol for
silk :ace is very limited, and, indeed, the trade generally
is depressed, guile as much sops in the panic of 1857.
Mary of die lace-makers are out of employ, and mane-
factiner. are producing as little as possible. There is not
much change in the hoisery trade. The buyers frnin the
Staie who are in the town are not purchasing much at
present. The dispute that has been existing for some
time between the Sutton boss and WI-hose brioches
sad the mastas in WWI to be sadsd.
