ANOTHER DARING GAROTTE ROBBERY IN

DONCASTER.

A Most daring and impudent garotte robbery wan
eammitted in Doncaster on Wednesday evening upon the
penes of a young man, named John Teal, the senior pupil
to Mr. W. Moore, surgeon, of that town. Mr. Teel left the
surgery with some medicine at nine o'clock, end after having
delivered it he proceeded direct to his home in Cleveland-
street. The house in whicli his-parents retitle is one of a
second clam description, with aisrublrery in front, and there
is also a separate entrance for the servants. At this time
the street, although one of the principal thoroughfares in
the town, was remarkably quiet; nevertheless persons were
passing to and fro within thirty yards of the house. Mr.
Teal entered the front gates witaout perceiving any one,
but after be bad walked part way up the foot-path
he perceived two tall men standing near the servant,'
entrance door, partly underneath the trees. He heard them 11
my, " We will," and he went up to them and inquired
♦hat they sair,ht please to want, thinking they bad come on
some business. Without giving any reply, they both rushed
in front of him, laid hold of him by the throat, and
threw him en the ground. They rifled his pockets, took
what mosey he had, and also a favourite and valuable gold
watch, and then decamped. Mr. Teal, who is subject to
Its, lay on the ground for about ten minutes, quite insets-
sable. He remembers nothing of what took place after he
was wised by the throat. All this took place within
two yards of his parents' door. One reason why the
inmates is the house did not hear the Neuf& is that MI%
Herten, father-in-law to Mr. Teal, ►nd organist at the
late perish chsrch, was playing the piano very loud. When
Mr. Teal recovered, he went in the house and described the
robbery, to the great astonishment of his parents, and it
was not until :ben that he found his watch was gone. The
only description which ho is able to give of the men who
attacked him is, that one h.d light trowsen on, and both
were dressed in dark over coats. The lodging-houses in the
town were searched, but without eff.ct. Neither the persons
nor the props rty have yet been found.

NEW PLAN FOE THE VENTILATION OF COAL

VE•4SELS.

The frequent and lamentable explosions which I
have so often and recently occurred to the 'easels sad
es:alien engaged in the shipment of coal from the Welsh
ports, have caused the adoption of a moat ingenious pled
for the prevention of thew accidents. Vessels proceeding
on long voyages, laden with the Welsh steam and other
coals, are now generally fittei after the new manner, and
into such favour has it risen that we hear it is deemed in-
dispensable by the Liverpool commercial community that
vessels engaged in the foreign coal trade should be fitted
up on the improved system, which is done after the fallow-
ing meaner. The great object is to prevent the accuse-
lation of "foul air," and to do this a thorough draft or I
ventilation is gained by lining the, hold before the,
vessel is loaded, with sleepers, hearing alternately from
the deck half way to the keel, and rice versa from.
the keel upwards. These are four or live inches in
depth, and three feet apart; and on them is laid a flooring,
which passes the whole length of the hold, leaving the wide
space underneath for the purpose of fresh air. This curi,
rent is mat down from the decks by means of six wooden
fannele, 12 or 11 inc Les square, which &eel perpendieu-
hrly, run two from the fore, main, and after decks each,
down to the space left at the bottom of the hold, thus se-
curing an uninterrupted passage for the heals air. The
inner surfaces are thus kept cool, and vessels on a sic
months' voyage need not apprehend any danger from ex-
p:osion, as was formerly the case.

Sir,—A• you have again opened your liberal columns to

has repeatedly vented his ire on the subject of the Buenos
Ayres debt in a strain similar to his last effusion in your
paper of the 20th inst., you will, perhaps, permit me, once
for all, to ask one or two questions, and to state one or two
facts in relation with this matter. Now, I should like to
know what your correspondent really wants the bond-
holders to do by " urging them on to action. " They have
got their committee, who have done everything that the
circumstances of the case will admit. Their acting in
unison with the views of Messrs. Haring, Brothers, and Co.,

cular issued this evening by Messrs. Durant and Co.

ksow ed ge of the thieves. r mule undiminished consumption. The only feature has

been the arrival and ale of 180 balm new silk from
China; the silk was good, and being fresh and bright was
taken at an advance of 6d. per lb. upon previous prin.'.
Old silk is taken rather slowly at previous rates. In Can-
ton silk we have had some arrivals, which have been sold
a shade under previous prices, the finest sins especially.
the continued profitable employment of the mills leaving
the difficulty of getting these Wks worked at least as great
as ever. In Bengal silk fair business has been done at pre-
vious prim s ; the higher clams are still in favour, 215. has
been made ; the same scarcity continues in the supply of
coarse good working silk. In Italian silk we are without
material increase of arrivals, but the progress of the season
naturally sends forward larger quantity, and also renders
the market rather leis firm. In Brutia silk the arrivals
have been only 16 bales; these were new silk, and taken
immediately at high prices, favoured by the short supply
of coarse Bengal and China silk. In Persian silk we are
without arrivals; a fair business has been done during the
month at slightly improving rates. A steamer is just in
with 56 bales Brutia and 32 bales Persian, which will be
landed in a day or two.
The market for American stocks this week has felt 1
the influence, to some extent, of the prevalent indis-
position to invest during the present political and
monetary uncertainty. Business has ruled quiet, and
prices are nominally unchanged. Present quotations
are thus reported by Messrs.D. Bell, Son, and Co.:
