MARK•LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, JAN. 10.—Only • limited supply of English
wheat earns hush to hand this morning, but the general
quality
of the maniples exhibited a further improveuient.
all Irinds--elthough the attendance of millers was
limited—there was a steady demand, at prices fully
equal to Monday last. Fine foreign wheats were in
somewhat improved request, but not dearer. Inferior
qualities ruled heavy. In floating cargoes very
little was doing. The barley trade was Arm, at extreme
currencies. There was a fair sale for new malt, at full
prices; but old parcels were very dull. We have to
report a fair demand for cats, and in some instances the
quotations were the turn higher. Both beans and peas
moved off freely, at extreme rates. Flour commanded
full prises.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY.

The Lord CHANCELLOR introduced a Bill for the
regulation and winding up of joint-stock companies,
the object of which WAS to consolidate the 'awe at pre-
sent in force upon that subject. The Bill was read a
first time.
In reply to • question from Lord ViviAN,
Lord HIPPY said that the volunteer corps had been
constituted in such a manner as to give the Govcr ttttt mit
the strongest hopes that they would be • valuable ad-
dition to the defensive foreu of the country. He ex-
plained the ides.s which bad been taken to render these
corps efficient. and stated it was the intention of Govern-
ment to aupply all effective niembers of the corps with
ride.. bust not with clothing. Efficient adjutants would
also be appointed. The force already enrolled amounted
to between 60,000 and 70,000 men, awl was daily in-
creasing. There was no intention on the part of the
Government to violate the principle of volunteering by
paying the artillery volunteer corps during the period
they were on drill. The Government, however, intended
to encourage the movemeut by establishing a system of
inspection throughout the country, a loch would, lie
considered, resider the volunteer corps, if ever their ser-
vices should be required, inset fortuidalile opponent:.
In reply to Inflations (nun Lords ELLKNlionorGli and
WENELETDALE, he said that, on the ground of expense
alone, it would be impossible to appoint drill Arno:anti
to all the corps, but arrangeuienta were being made
whereby the services of drill iiergeolibi might be readily
procured at the expense of the volunteer corps them-
' selves.

Tug TIATIXONI•L TO THZ "SCOTHXAN."—Oz Mon-
day the testimonial, originated last year, to Mr. Rus-
sel, editor of the Scotsman, was presented to him in
the Waterloo-rooms, Edinburgh, in presence of • large
number of the contributors. Sir W. G. Craig presented
the testimonial, towards which be stated the sum of
£1,773 lls. had been subscribed. This testimonial he
said, was of no ordinary kind, and was such as, he be-
lieved, had never before been given to any one in the
position of • public journalist. It was remarkable, not
merely from the amount contributed, but from the list of
contributors, which included the names of many peers
and others of the highest rank in the kingdoin,--some
who had been Cabinet Ministers, many who were iuem•
bees of Parliament, representing large constituencies,
and many men who were in high social position, and
holding an eminent place in literature and science. The
presentation consisted of 1,600 sovereigns, a liver salver
and jug, and time-piece. The plate was inscribed as fol.
lows : "To Ales. Russell, Esq., editor of the Scotrataa,
in recognition of his able and constant advocacy of en-
lightened political principles, by which he bas largely
contributed to the diffusion of sound liberal opinions is.

hoped it would stir him up more and more to do his
duty in the profession to which he was proud to belong,
and stimulate him to stronger attachment to, and
greater effort for, the good old clause of liberty with
order, progress with voracity, free government, free
thought, and free speech.

PORTLAN D.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT PORTLANO.—As a gang
of convicts employed in the Government quarries at
Portland were proceeding to their work on Monday
morning, the 6th inst., one of them discovered the
dead body of a man laid at the foot of a lefty piece
of rock in the vicinity of the crane at which they
were about to be employed. The attention of the
guard being called to the circumstance, an investiga-
tion immediately took place. On inspecting the
body it was found to be that of a sergeant of Marines,
who had eventually lost his life from a blow on the
head, by what means given is not at present ascer-
taMable. It was at first thought he must have
fallen from the rock above, but the position of the
body on further examinatiou made it quite impro-
bable that this was the case. The difficulty of access
to the top of this rock, aud the fact that the pour
fellow's cap was found uninjured, although on his
head, and over the place which doubtless caused his
! death, has led many to fear that foul play alone
could have caused such a dreadful result. To
strengthen this idea, • soldier's leathern belt was
was found under the body which did not belong to
the deceased, and as he had on the previous after-
noon been seen in the company of one or two of
them, it will place the wearer of that belt in a very
critical position. It has been ascertained who that
man is, but it is not at present desirable to mention
his name. Another circumstance, also, would
throw doubt on the probability of the poor man's
death being caused by accident, and that is the fact
of the blade of his sword being missing. The name
of the deceased is William Roberts, sergeant of
Marines on board Her Majesty's ship Edgar, now at
anchor in Portland harbour. —The evidence adduced
at the coroner's inquest held at Portland on Tuesday
last on the body of Sergeant William Roberts, of
Her Majesty's ship Edgar, found dead iu the two-
vict quarries on the moniing of Monday last, was of
a character to lead to the belief that the unfortunate
man had lost his life by accident. The possession by
the deceased of the soldier's belt not belonging to
him, which was found under his body, was
satisfactorily explained to the jury. It appeared he
hail taken it, in the afternoon previous to his death,
from 0110 of hi. companions, alto( whom had returned
to their ship some time before the melancholy
occurrence took place. Although there was no
evidence to inculpate anyone, there was not sufficient
elucidation of the mystery which involves the case to
warrant the jury in bringing in a verdict of acci-
ental Death, 11 the man fell over the rocks, as

indicated by the marks above, it i remarkahle bow
he could have clititrived to get to tin pl ice upon
which his body was found. Is is ,till ini re remark-
able that drops of blood were duwovered n the slope
above the rock over which, if the case was one of
accident only, he must have fallen. Thane facts
doubtless led the jury, after a long and patient
hearing, to return an open verdict of" Found Dead.'

HEALTH AND DISEASE.

BANITANT CONDITION OF TOL CITY.— At the meet-
ing of the Commissioners of Sewers on Tuesday last,
Dr. Letheby, the usedical officer of health, reported on
the state of 186 houses, including 61 common lodeng-
homes, that had been inspected during the week, and he
submitted a list of 38 plates that required sanitary im-
provement. The mortality returns for the week were •
little below the average for the corresponding period ot
the last four years. The total number of deaths were
61—of uhich 24 were among children of lees than Ave
years of age, and 16 amoug old persons at 60 and up-
wards; 10 of these were over 70, and 7 were between
the ages of 80 and 92. The principal causes of death
were as follows :—Yhthisis, 6; pneumonia, 3; brooahl-.
tie, 12; fever, 2; smallpox, 3; scartet fever, 1; whlLo
ing-cough, 3; and croup, 1 ; making in all2l d
from disease of respiratory organs, and 10 from them al

week— vii., 35 boys and 19 girls.

Tat DIVOICt TRIBUNAL.--la the tonnes of a trial on
Wednesday hist in the Irish Court of Queen's Bench,
arising out of a cam of wife desertion, souse opinions
transpired not very favourable to the working of the
Divorce Court. For instance :—The Chid Justice: Ui
(the defendant) might have gone into the Divorce Court
and stated he was tired of the marriage, and tried to
gut rid of it in that way. Mr. /Laketon : Fortunately
the Divorce Court does not extend to Ireland. The
Chief Justice: Well, than, they might have gone to
England, for I understand they have inrindietaon there
over our Irish marriages. Mr. liergeant : w.
have not got a Divorce Court in Ireland yet. The Chief
Justice: And I hope we never will. Mr. Sergeant
u'llegau : It is the greatest sign of the decadence of
Lglic morals, and I say it with all determine to the
i„hierire which pared the Act and Use judgsa who
administer it. This is something like Irish
as remarkable as it is rear.

MANCHESTER. 7111.—Not much doing, but • very Grin
market in yarns, with an upward tendency in prices.
Rather more business for home trade. at very full
prices, than for export. There was some offers for
yarns for Calcutta, but spinners were not able to ensure
a sufficiently early delivery. In cloths there was • firms
feeling, at the full prima of last week. There ii • suffi-
cient demand to lead to a good business, but the heavy
engagements render deliverim difficult, cloth being very
scarce. The state of the political horizon is also
against business. There is a telegram from Bombay
to the 16th ult.. to the effect that the market was quiet
and without change; but we hear of no advice' from
Caleutta, which were due to the 14th. Houses here
doing business in French goods are low in stock, but
disposed to wait until the new commercial treaty is
concluded.

REPoRTS OF THE FACTORT 1348PM-I'OlM These
bare just been published. They contain nothing par-
ticularly worthy of remark. seeing that " there is not
any subject in connexion with the administration of the
law to which the inspectors have to call the Secretary_of
State's attention on the present occoasion." Mr.
Homer's resignation is noticed with regret, and a tribqte
paid to his usefulness as an inspector. During the iss
months ended the 31st of October last there were 2,033
accidents from machinery, of which 27 were fatal, and
127 not arising from machinery; of these 8 were
fatal. There were 435 convictions for factory offences, the
total amount of fines imposed having been £7Ol, phis
L'atO cods. Mr. Homer, noticing the necessity of pro
-
wonting mill-owners for working women and children
beyond the time limited by law, says that a quarter of
• century's experience convinces him that the legialativa
interference for the regulation of the labour of such
persons is now viewed by the great majority of mill-
owners as having done, and is still doing, a vast amount of
good, without any injurious interference with the pra;
sperity of their trade, and he believes that any propos"
to repeal the law would encounter a stout resistance ~e 1
the part of the masters. Mr. Redgrave urges the
expediency of enforcing the educational test, so to speak,
as a qualification for working in factories ; he says that
one great object to be attained is the attendance of
children at school before they are employed at all. mat
another, the prevention of the emuloynient of childel
under the age of 12, unless they have been to school, Jan
have reached • fixed standard of attainments.

Meanwhile the Hungarians exhibit great realism's.

BRIDPORT.

BRIDPORT VOLUNTEER. RIFLES. Tuesday last
was quite a field-day with the gallant and high•
spirited members of this, the first Volunteer Company
established in the county of Dorset. There are now
a goodly number in Dorset and the bordering
parts of the adjacent counties, of these most admir-
able auxiliaries to the "regular" service of Her
Majesty, the Queen. The Lyme Regis Corps of
Artillery demands laudable mention as the second in
order iif time u to its formation, and also for its
etficiene) and soldierly qualities, under the able coin-
mend of its excelleut officers. The Dorchester Corps
of Rides also deserves honourable notice, and ap-
pears to be in a satisfactory state of progression.
Hridport ArtilL ry Corps is proceeding with its
drill and general orgiuizatiou with the most gratify-
ing spirit of earnest, energetic, and persevering
activity, their worthy captain being still, and having
been for some time, at the great artillery arsenal
of Woolwich, for the purpose of being indoctrinated
into the hitherto sacredly professional military secrets
of the art of war, in order that he may, in turn,
teach his junior officers and the private members
of his corps, what it will behove them to know,
so that they may stand in the breach if ever the
time should unfortunately arrive when the regular
troops shall nut be competent to cope with any pond-
sible attempted opposition. Captain Denary is now
under instruction at Woolwich, just as was Captain
Templer at Hythe, and we can only express our
hope with the realization of which we shall be very
highly delighted, if the public-spirited and patriotic
commander of the Bridport Volunteer Artillery
Corps, prove himself to be as apt a scholar in the
science, it it necessary he should master, as the
Captain of the first Dorset Volunteer Rides has,
practically, shown himself to have been. There are
other corps which have been formed around, or
which are now actually in process of formation, at
Yeovil, e Wareham, said several other places—all of
which, unless private feeling or favour in any in-
stance is allowed vent, ti the extinction or exclusion
at least of the public spirit of self-denying patriot-
isin, cannot fail, we think, to render the country
efficient and valuable service.—Bridport Ne its.
NIELANCIIOLY DEATH BY BERNING.-8. S. Corry,
Esq., held an inquest on Thursday evening last, at
the Plymouth inn, Allington, on the body of
Thomas Hallett, a child between two and three
years of age, who died on Wednesday afternoon, in
consequence of severe burns occasioned by his
clothes catchiug fire during the absence of his mother
on Tuesday afternoon previous. The deceased was
the son of John Hallett, of Allington, Ha: dresser,
and the evidence showed that every attention after
the melancholy occurrence, was paid to him by his
parents, but without avail, to save life. Verdict,

LYME REGIS.

Our annual fair was held on Tuesday and Wednes-
day last, but very little business was done. In the
evenings, the streets were scarcely passable in some
places from crowds of young men and boys who
quite took up the pavement and amused themselves
with throwing crackers at people's heels as they
passed ; and on the Tuesday evening a number of
boys, led on, we are sorry to say, by wen who ovlht
to have known better, paraded the streets, singing
all sorts of ribald songs, knocking at people's doots,
and throwing crackers into the passages, in one in-
stance so frightening the inmates as to cantle serious
illness. It was resolved some months since to have
the county police, but from one cause or another.
they have not yet come, but it is quite time that

NI t LBUR GATES. A trustee of the Maiden
Newton Turnpike calls attention to an accident
winch has recently occurred in the Turnpike-road, at
Nlelbury Park, seriously injuring and damaging
the lives of two persons. He says these gates have
engaged the attention of the trustees for some years
part ; that motion after motion has been made at the
o.eeting of the trust for their removal, and that
th .re has been an almost unanimous desire that this
da iger-us nuisance should be abated. The trustees
i.re willing to make the necessary inclosure in such
a manner as may be most agreeable to Lord Ilchester ;
in teed, the road being at such a distance from Mel
bury House, the view from thence could be in no
degree affected by the alteration. He trusts there-
fore, that when the motion was renewed, au it will
be at the nest meeting of the trustees, there will be
no further opposition to an improvement which the
safety of the public so imperatively demands.

This was a testamentary cause in which an applies.
tion was made last week by Dr. Spinks for an order
directing the plaintiff to find security for costa, ce the
ground that he was a Portuguese with no permanent
residence in this country. The application wee opposed
by Dr. Phillimore, for the plaintiff, on the an.
thority of the care of " Pacifico" in the 7 &marque;
MO. It appeared that the proceedings in this court were
preliminary to • suit in Chancery.
Sir C. Cresswell, this morning, said he found that all
the previous cases were reviewed in the ease in the E.
c...equer, and he was bound, on the authority of that
came to refuse the application. The principle epos
which the Court proceeded was, that the party we
in England at the tune of the suit, and could not, there.
fore, be compelled to give security for costa. If he went
away, the proceedings could be stayed until security
had been given.

FRANCE AND SAVOY.

The agitation for the annexation of Savoy and Nice
is kept up by the Paris journabi, and the Paine, which
seems to have become the special instrument for ventila-
ting this matter, has gone the length of asserting that,
the local Government in Savoy is putting down the
almost unanimous wish of the inhabitants, who demand
the annexation to France. "It is time the authorities
of Turin should learn," says the Petrie, "that they
cannot have two weights and two balanors, that the
people of Savoy and Nice have the same right to dispose
of themselves as the people of the Duchies. The
sympathies of Savoy for France are a century old, and
the Government which seeks to repress them ought to
desist from any such effort, and to leave them to dispose
of themselves." And M. Grandgnillot says in the COW
atittaiomtel, "What Savoy wishes, what France desires,
does not seem doubtful; what the Governments would
like to do, remains up to the present hour covered with
the veil of diplomacy."
Meanwhile the Gazette de Nice is " authorised and re-
quested to give the most formal and positive denial to
the statement that &treaty had been signed on the 27th
of January for the cession of Savoy and Nice to Franca
That statement is false. We have the highest authority
for publishing this denial."
The Opiaiotie of Turin says :—" In case Sardinia
should obtain sufficient compensation and strategic posi-
tions, and should the annexation of Savoy to France
then be asked for, it might be granted. But it is
very difficult for Nice to become French. Nice protest'
against it by her acts; her interests are also contrary to
it. Therefore these two distinct questions must not be
mixed together."
A telegram from Nice says that at the theatre on
Monday night the national song was repeated three
times, and was received with shouts of "Th. King for
ever !" "Nice, Italian r According to the Parts papers
this report is dreadfully exaggerated. They say that
"four hundred and fifty spectators, consisting only of
soldiers and Italian functionaries, shouted • great deal.
Half the audience remained silent, and the boxes were
empty.
