sheet as • labourer win placed at the bar charged with steal.
ing • dog. value's., the property of John Hall. lie was also charged with assaulting William Heller.
Mr. Brooke. appeared for the accused.
The prosecutor said that on Saturday evening,
about seven o'clock he was passing down Union-street,
Borough, with his wife and his dog was following
him. The latter he va..a very much, as it was exceed-
ingly faithful. When he had got • little pest the Monu-
ment public-house he heard his dog yelpiog, and knowing
that he did not make such • noes unless some stranger
picked him up, be turned round and saw the dog in the
prisoner's arms. Witness's wife rushed after the prisoner,
and endeavoured to take the dog from him, and a man named
Dells; asaisted her, and was assaulted. The prisoner was
eventually given into custody.
In crass-examination by Mr. Brookes, witness said he
could swear to the dog produced as his. It made • peculiar
noise when lifted up which be could distinguish from any
other dog. (Witneas here li.'ted the dog up to show his
worship that such was a fact amidst loud and repeated
laughter.)
The magistrate asked him what he valued the dog at?
Witness replied that be would not take U. for it. It was
not its peculiar beauty, but its faithfulness.
Mr. Brookes having made an ingenious defence,
The magistrate convicted the prisoner, and sentenced him
to pay • fine of 54, or to be imprisoned three mouths.
BRUTAL ASSAULT 01f A Vl}A.
M Owl Moira,,, an Irish labourer, was finally examined,
charged with conimitting • brutal assault on his wife.
The latter attended on • former occasion and reluctantly
gave her evidence, which clearly showed that the prisoner
knocked her down in the passage of their house. She did
not wish to punish him as she said she was moat in fault.
Sergeant Ashley, A division, said that he picked the
woman up in the passage with her head bleeding, and she
told him her husband did it. She was taken to • doctor's,
and afterwards charged him at the station-house.
The Magistrate told him he should not allow him to
escape the just punishment due to him by his wife's ab-
sence. He therefore sentenced him to three months hard
labour.

SERIOUS GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION IN
MA.VCRESTER.

At half-past 7 o'clock last evening, a serious
explosion of gunpowder occurred at the shop of Mr. A.
Cadden, a email gunsmith living in Brook.street. Caddell
occupies the end tenement of a row of small cottages
situate near the bridge which crosses the Medlock,
and while alone in the house at the time named
last evening he heard an explosion of fireworks in a
drawer behind him. He attempted to carry the drawer
out of the house, but the fireworks exploded one after
another with such rapidity that he was knocked down.
Remembering that he had several barrels of gunpowder
stored in a room upstairs, he attempted to get thew out of
the house, and succeeded in securing one, which he left in
charge of a neighbour. He tried to remove the others,
but the quantity of smoke overpowered him, and he
could not enter the house. The fire engine's, which had
in the meantime been sent for, very shortly afterwards
arrived under the superintendence of Mr. Tozer, who was
told that there had been several explosions of small
packages of gunpowder, and that a large quantity was
stored upstairs. While the hose was being attached to
the mains, three heavy explosions were heard, and the
front door, part of the wall, and the window were
blown out. The gable was also shattered., and the par-
tition wall adjoining the next house was likewise blown
down. Notwithstanding the danger. the firemen entered
the place, and one of them found a small cask, half full
gunpowder, which, to prevent accident, was thrown into
the river. He was followed out of the house by four others
of the brigade, who had each secured& barrel oontaining•Sslb.
of gunpowder, and this was at nous placed in the hands of the
police, and taken to the Fairfield•streetpoliee-station. Several
canisters of gunpowder were also picked up among the (I,:',ria.
Beyond a alight injury to Mr. Cadden's left hand, no one
wee hurt. What, however, the consequence would have
been but for the exertions of the lire-brigade, no one can
say, for the neighbourhood is densely populated, and the
adjoining thoroughfare is one of the boniest in the city.
Mr. Caddell estimates the loss of his property at 140..
nothing of which is covered by insurance. The injury to
the house is so serious, that in all probability it will have

ENoGliiiCX SUPPLY OF POULTRY.--(THIS DAY.)
--The supply of poultry is Leadenhall and Newgete
markets exceeds by far that of former years. Twenty vans
loaded with crates containing turkeys and geese, arrived by
the t: rest Eastern Railway this morning, brought additional
freights. The packages that throng the thoroughfares in
the markets are so numerous that there is scarcely walking
room. Ai nougat the turkeys from Norfolk are come monster
specimens, many of the birds weighing from 301 be. to 341te.
without the feathers. The geese from Norfolk and Suffolk
are exceedingly fine in quality. The supplies brought by
the Antwerp and Ostend steam Tassels are also enormous.
THE STOEM-. IN THE NORTH.—On Sunday
mensing the wind, which had blown in a violent gale for
24 boors horn the northeast on the coast of Northumber-
land, got round to the south-east, and as the morning ad-
vanced towards daybreak to the north-west, the heavy
sea, which bad been raging, began to fall fast, and before
noon it was very moderate. In the afternoon the wind
blew in light airs from the west, but after dark it came
away from the south again and blew hard. The snow fell
in heavy showers on Sunday, and was lying crisp in the
the country, but as night came it began to rain upon the
coast, and the snow disappeared rapidly. Great anxiety
prevails in the northern seaports with regard to the fate of
the vessels exposed at sea on Saturday to the violent storm,
as the wind was nearly dead upon the land and the sea was
awful to look at. The Dona and the Oak, of Whitby, bound
from the Baltic for Loudon with timber, put into the Tyne.
the one on Saturday night and the other on Sunday morn-
ing, for shelter.
CHRISTMAS CHEER..—On Saturday morning Mr.
Martin Roots, butcher, of Crayford village, slaughtered at
his establishment • most extraordinary aniLoal. It was a
pure bred shortliorned heifer, called "Oak Bud," aged 4
rears and 11 months, bred by Lady Lubbock. of Erni-
liomugb, and fed by Charles Swaisland, Esq., of the Cray-
ford Print Works. The following is a list of the prizes ob-
tained by this animal at the different cattle shows where
it has been exhibited :—Commended when 1i months old
at the County Show, Dartford. 1861 ; • prize of 2/. at the
Dartford Show, Dec., 1861 ; the let prize of 41, at the
Dartford Show, Dec.,1862, also the prize of Si. Se., offered
by W. Angentein, Es' M.P., for the best fat animal in the
show ; the let prize o at the Birmingham chow,
extra prize of 7.1. for the best shorthorn, also a gold medal,
value 20/., as the best cow or heifer ; extra prize, value
25 guineas, given by the hotel and innkeepers of Riming-
barn. for the beet fat animal in the show, also a silver
medal to the breeder ; the Ist prize of Tit in class 11, at
the Smithfield Clan Cattle Show, Islington, 1841, also •
silver cup, value 40/., for the beet cow or heifer in the
show, sod • silver medal to the breeder. When drowsed it
weighed 217 stone 41b.. lied carried 20 stone of loose fat. The

case of " Parker v. Taylor" (tried at the L;verpool assizes,
yesterday, before Mr. Justice Mellor), Miss Alice Parker.
the daughter of a farmer residing at Settle, ice the West
hiding of Yorkshire. brought an action against Mr.
John Taylor, the eldest son of • farmer in the same
district. The plaintiff, being one of • number of daughters.
went out to service in the year 187.5, when she was
about twentv-one years of age. While she was at ser-
vice the courtship by the defendant commenced, and was
cautioned until the year 1,457. when she was seduced by the
defeadant. A child was born, which is now living. The
plaintiff was confined at her father's house. and there the
defendant saw her, Red 'made • distinct promise to marry
her when she was sut6,-iently recovered. He asked if the
child was christened, and when told it was not, nil, "Then
we will have both sprees together," meaning the christen-
ing and the marriage. When the plaintiff roc leered, how-
ever, he did nut keep his promise, and she again went out
to service. In 1863 he married another person. and hem's
the present action. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff,
damage. 2i if .
A HE, it.iITRANT CARYGNAL—A I..tter from
Naples. in the It.r.c. says :—"The strange and unexpected
attitude assumed by Cardinal d'An,trea, who has taken up
his residence here at the Hotel Crocelle, is the universal
talk of the town at present. He does not seem to have the
slightest intention of returning to Rome, and his immediate
friends assert that his rupture nit:, the Vatican is defini-
tive ; nay, it is added that Pius IX. has sent him word
be might stay where he was, since be had gone
there without leave. These assertions are not disproved by
the cardinal's behaviour ; he openly receives the priests of
the Emancipation Society, and convenes with them in quite
an Italian spirit. Some of the opinions attributed to him
are quite extraordinary in a cardinal. He says, for instance,
that an obstacle to a reconciliation of the Holy See with
Italy is much less owing to the Sacred College than to
Pius IN. personally, whom he represents as imbued with
the exaggerations ' of the mailmen of France and Belgian'?"
A Basis of SALT. —A few months ago another
deposit of mineral wealth was brought to light in Nevada,
which has proved of incalculable value to the silver mines
there. This was an immense basin of salt, five miles
square, near the sink of the Carson river. This bake I
(says a gentlemen who writes from Virginia City) appears
once to have been the bottom of • lake, and the salt is
found good even on the surface. A covering of about
three hackies is lone and indifferent; but beneath this, for
a depth of fourteen feet, pure rock salt is toned as deer
as ice, and white "as the driven socw." Beneath there is
water, which seems to he filtered through the salt for an un-
known depth. The whole of the fourteen feet in thick.
ness does not oontaio a single streak of any deleterious
matter of rubbish, sail is ready for quarrying and sending
to market-4 menciiii you, r.

MONEY NAREET.-(IBIS DAY.)

Two o'Cioac.

The stock markets to-day are extremely inactive,
and there is an almost entire absence of fea-
tures of interest. Consols are quoted for the
account a trifle lower, and in two or three other
cases prices are barely so good as yesterday, but,
as regards the great majority of the securities
dealt in, there is no variation whatever.
The demand for money continues brisk, and the
supply is smaller. The rate for choice three
months' bills is firm, at 53 to 6 per cent., but trans-
actions at the former figure are exceptional. In
the Stock Exchange there is a strong demand for
loans on English government securities, and as
they are mostly wanted till next Tuesday, thus
extending over the holidays, while there is some
indisposition to lend for longer than a day or two,
applications have been made to the Bauk for a
considerable amount at 6 per cent.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Rental opened at
65fr. 40c., being the same as yesterday.
Consols arc now quoted 891 to 3, ex div., for
money, and 891 to 3, ex div., for the account

can, 293 to 3 ; Confederate, 61 to 63 ; Spanish

Au order was made on Saturday last by the
Master of the Rolls to wind up the British Copper
Company (Limited) under supervision of the Court
of Chancery. Mr. H. Edwards, of the firm of
Cash and Edwards, the accountants, was appointed
liyaidater.
The following memorandum is from the Nova
Scotia Laud and Gold Company :

The directors of the Nova Scotia Land and Gold Crushing
and Amalgamating Company (Limited) have received by
the present mail a remittance of 36 or. 13 dela and •!' gra.
gold. From Sherbrooke the agent states that the works
had been greatly retarded by the heavy rain. From Old-
ham the agent writes :—•• I am in hopes the crusher on the
Davies lot will be completed by the middle of next week,
when we will proceed at once to put through the quartz on
hand, running the mill constantly night and day. I have
no hesitation 10 saying that we shall have a large share of
the public quartz, as the prevailing opinion is very much in
favour of the new batteries. and a good many are now keep-
ing their quartz for our mill. We can have enough work
from the public to keep her manias at least half of the
time. The compiny's old mill will be ready for work on or
about the 20th instant."

The following is from the wine circular of Mr. F.
W. Cozens, dated yesterday :

The inactivity usually noticeable at this period of the
year in the wholesale demand for wines and @nitrite is in no
way exceptional, dealers being unwilling to purchase beyond
their immediate requirements. Prince arc at the same time
well m►intained, wherever the quality merits it. The
pressure exprnenced during the latter months of this pre.
sent year has hut slightly affected the legitimate trade is
wines ; since the reduction of the duty, and in spite of the
greatly increased cost, the quantity consnmeil Ku been very
large. This fact may be explained as the oonseinenon of
the good quality of late of tae medium wines of ad classes,
which, aithon4h of recent vintages, have been found whole-
some. agreeable, arid moderate in price. The importation
has been noprecedeetedly large ; thus while the stock in the
various' wine-growing countries of Europe is considerably
reduced, and in man► parte inconveniently limited, our
bonded depots are well stored. This will for the coming
veer assure moderate prime to the conmuners of the United
Kingdom. Taking the returns for London (Stone only at
present accessible) the duty payment, upon wine, for the
mouth of November, have bees tisl.4:!Pt gallons, against
ti 07.2.25 last year—the B,mrea for brandy being 111,3 N and
;4::,,414; and for ruin 177,iii13, against 155,20. In all
showing a very considerable increase, in spite of a most tin.
exampled c@rumercial depression.
