SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS I)AY.
There is a considerable falling off in the supply of Beasts,
which causes more activity in the trade generally. Although
we are enabled to
.quote 45., it is only for choice Scots. Tho
number of Sheep is small ; trade is not proportionably brisk,
however the shortness of supply musts an advance of lolly
2d. per 8 lbs. on almost all kinds. Good Calves continuo
to be scarce, and are sold rather dearer. From Germany
and Holland there are GiC Bealts, 3,690 Sheep, and 161
Calves; Scotland, 220 Beasts • Norfolk and Suffolk, 120;
and 2,760 from the Northern and Midland Counties.

DEPARTURE OF TILE ROYAL 'NIA' 1. STEAM SHIP
NIAGAM.A.-0a Saturday afternoon the British and North
American royal mail steam ship Niagara, Captain Stone,
departed from the Mersey on her voyage to Huston and
Halifax, with a full cargo, between 30 and 40 passengers,
and a very heavy mail. The screw steamship City of Pitts-
burgh, which had been detained in port owing to over-
loading in the first instance, and by the very hoe% v fog for
the last two days prevalent on the Mersey (by which even
the ferry steamers have been stopped), departed at the same
time for Philadelphia.
GARDEN WALLS OF GLASS.—TiII Sir Joseph Paxton
proposed his crystal palace, little had been done in the ap-
olication of glass to garden structures beyond what had
been in practice for half a century. The repeal of the ex-
cise duties had enormously increased the consumption of
glass, and had caused its quality to be materially improved,
but had led to no novelty of application. The combination
of wood and iron, which was so happily hit upon in Hyde-
park, has, however, now suggested to Mr. Charles Ewing,
gardener to 0. 1 . Mcyrick, Esq., of Bodorgan, In Anglesea,
the idea of constructing garshai walls also of glass and iron
only. The plan is to have iron uprights firmly fixed into
the ground, and faced with glass on both sides, the space
between the two faces being occupied by trees planted and
trained in the usual way. The glass is all moveable, so
that perfect ventilation, as well as perfect shelter, is secured.
This novel mode of construction seems likely to cause a
complete revolution in the manner of managing plants
under glass, provided, as we understand to be the case, the
pries at which the glass walls can be put up is less than that
of COllllllOO brick walls.—Chirdeners' ChAmicle.

ESCAPE AND APPREHENSION OP TWO CONVICTS.
—On Wednesday evening two convicts, named Samuel Baker
and Edward Griffiths, made their escape from a oell in
which they were confined in the prison at Dartmoor. In-
timation was immediately given to the authorities of this
town, and on Thursday night, about 10 o'clock, the convicts
were apprehended in Jubdee-street, coming into the town,
by police constables Philip. and Azwyrthy, and after a
severe struggle, during which Griffiths cut Philips severely
over the lett eye with the staff, which ho took from the offi-
cer's pocket, they were taken to the station-beim°. In order
to disguise themselves's one had on two coats and two waist-
coats, and the other had no upper clothing but his shirt.
On the person of Griffiths were tOund two knives, such as
painters use in their work. They were taken before Mr.
G. Coryndon on Friday morning, who stated that the police
officers who had apprehended them merited much praise for
their vigilance and activity, and he then directed that the
two officers should convey them to Dartmoor. These men
had escaped once before, and they were in close confinement
in a cell, preparatory to being tried at the ensuing assizes
for breaking out of prison, stealing their clothes, itc.—Ply-
moues% Journal.
