LONDON SPIRIT MAIIICKT.—RUM Moves off steadily,
at very_ full prices. Proof Lewards, is. 10d. to ls. lid.;
proof East India, 10.10 d. per gallon. Brandy is quite as
dear es lest week ; but grain spirit is • slow inquiry.
TL—AlihOugh the show of samples is only moderate,
our market generally is heavy, on lower terms. Com-
mon sound Congou has sold at 10d. to 100. per lb.
SUGAR.-000d and dne raw sugars have continued in
fair request, at about stationary prices, but low and
demo parcels have met • dull inquiry, on rather easier
terms.
As the Court of Bankruptcy on Tuesday Menus. Cal-
vert and Co. made an application under the six-sevenths
clauses of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act to oarry on
the business under inspection. A. fortnight is allowed
for any dissentient creditor to lodge an objecition. The
liabilities are stated at £1,485,000.
The hoard of Trade returns for the part month were
issued Wednesday morning. They show still • con-
siderable falling off in the declared value of our export-
ations, but it is of much less extent than was presented
during each of the three preceding months of the present
year, the average on those occasions having been
£1,772,401; while the reduction now is only £534,411.
As compared with the mine month of 1858 there is an
increase of £26,507. Owing to the Eastern demand,
the shipments of cotton goods show an augmentation
of £327,067. The chief items on the unfavourable side
are iron and steel, the orders for Americus and the
colonies being still small. Silk and woollen goods like-
wise continue to show • decrease. On the whole, how-
ever, the return must be considered to furnish some
signs of • tendency to revival in most departments of
trade.
Letters have been received milling in question the in-
thnation given with regard to the new Stamp Act, that
draughts payable to "self" only (the word "bearer" not
being in the cheek), and therefore not negotionable, are
exempt, unless placed in the hands of • third party.
There is, however, no doubt as to its oorrectness, and
the Bank of England and other establishments in
London all act in accordance with it. Any one has a
right personally to take his money from the plum where
he may have deposited it, whether that place may be his
own desk or his banker's strong-room, without being
subjected to use • stamp for the operation. The law 11

RAILWAY AOMMINTS.—IO is proved by Intel that the
loss of life and limb by railway accidents is far greater
in England than in any other country. No doubt such •
result may be accounted for in souse manse by the
more complicated ret-work of Hashish lines, the more
frequent use of ameba and express trains, and it may be
the greater rapidity of travelling, In Belgium from the
let of May, 1835, to December, 1848, the number of
travellers conveyed to and fro was 86,447,917 of whom
four were killed and Id wounded; which results in one
victim in 1,611,237. In Prussia, between 1851 and
1854, 41 amidents marred, whielt met the life of two
travellers and wounded 11. Similar multi are re-
(lorded of 'other smaller lines of continental oommunioa-
Mon. In England, from the 7th of August, 1840, to
Deeember, $1 1655,_
_the ntunber of travellers was
910,876,886. 'The killed and wounded of this number
amount to 3,099, of whom 176 were victims, whilst
11,843 escaped with wounds, It result., therefore, that
one out of every 31,343 was the victim of aosidents. It
seems to be the oonviotion of the oominittee that the
majority of most of the disaster originste in the neglect
' of Ada's, which may be avoided by a more strict at-
I !elitism to regulations and by employing *donee to
enable the guards to rommunisate with the drivers of
togLoos.

REMOVAL OF IBIBH PAUPERS.—The Liverpool Baled
Vestry on Tuesday resolved to send a deputation to
London to co-operate with other parishes in opposing
the proposed re-enactment of the Irish Paupers Removal
Bill, which would entail an immense expense on the
ratepayers of all large towns in Great Britain.
SUDDEN DEATH AT OXFORD.—A painful excitement
was created at Oriel College, Oxford, on Tuesday
morning upon the announcement being made that a
young gentleman named Bayley, son of .111 r. W. R. Bay-
ley, of Cotford-house, near Sidinouth, who was on a visit
to his brother, an undergraduate of Oriel College' had
been found dead in his bedroom. It appears that the
deceased retired on the previous evening in his usual
health, but not appearing at his brother's lodgings at
breakfast time, acoording to appointment, the latter
proceeded to make inquiry as to his absence. Upon
finding the bedroom door locked an entrance wu forced,
and the deceased was found lying on the floor quite dead
with every appearance of having fallen out of bed.
Deceased was about 18 years of age and had just re-
ceived a commission in Her Majesty'. 19th Regiment of
Foot. The melancholy occurrence as caused a painful
sensation throughout the city and University of Oxford.

JUDICIAL DIGNITI IN LOUISIANA.—Spesking of
grand juries reminds um. that the Parish Court is now
m session here, his Honour Kish Rodgers presiding—
old Kye, or My, they usually call him. Old Kye
was passing sentence on • criminal, and delivered him-
self as follows :—" Prisoner stand up. Mr. Kettles,
this Court is under the painful necessity of passing
sentence of the law upon you, Sir. This Court has no
doubt, Mr. Ketth but what you were brought into
this scrape by the use of intoxicating liquor. The
friends of this Court all knows thst et that is any vice
this Court abhors it is intemperance. When this Court
was a young man, Mr. Kettles, it was considerably in-
clined to drink; and the friends of this Court knows
that this Court has nateraily a very high temper, and of
this Court had not stopped short off, and stopped the
use of intoxicating liquor, I have no doubt, Sir, but
what this Court, Sir, would have been in the Peniten-
tiary or its grave l" Another case was before the
Court. An overseer who had been discharged brought
suit against his employer for the whole year's wages,
alleging that he had been discharged without sufficient
ground. Old By charged the jury as follows :—" The
jury will take notice that this Court is well acquainted
with the nature of the ease. When the Court first
started out in the world it followed the business of over-
seeing, and ef there is any business which the Court un-
derstands its bosses, moles, and niggers—though the
Court never overseed in its life for leas than sBoo—and
this Court in boss nein' was always naterslly gifted;
and this Court in running a quarter race whir the
hones was turned could idlers turn • hoes so as to gain
15 feet in a race ; and that on • certain occasion in the
parish of West Pelican& it was one of the conditions of
the race that Ky Rodgers shouldn't turn nary one of the
bosses." Another case was up, sad two lawyers got
Into a light—one of them • preacher of our church.
Old Ky called hastily for the sheriff, "Mr. Sheriff
Mr. Sheriff Take them men to gaol. This Court
shan't, have her dignity insulted in this menner."—New
