MANCHESTER, Seer. 20.—There has not been a very
active market, and prices are unchanged.

BIUMINOKAM, SEPT. 20.—This market was steady to-
day, Friday's quotations being well supported. North
Statfords are very firm, chiefly in consequence of the re
vived report that a line is to be made from the Great
Western Company's new lines at Wolverhampton to that of
the North Staffordshire at Colwich, thus opening a new
route from London to Manchester.

LEEDS, SEPT. 20.—The share market continues almost
stationary, so far as prices are concerned, and the daily
amount of business doing is very limited. To-day the closing
sales were as follows:—Leeds Northern•, lot—Midlands,

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON AND SUICIDE IN
FILANCB.—An extraordinary crime has been committed at
St. Hippolyte, in the department of the Tarn and Garonne.
On the 11th instant, at about nine in the evening, the
house and outbuildings of a farmer named Aradel, com-
monly called Corrah, were observed to be on fire. Twenty
or thirty people soon assembled and were taking measures
to extinguish the flames, when the report of • gun shot was
heard, and at the lame instant the son of the mayor of
Bouloe, who was in the crowd, fell senseless and severely
wounded. He was scarcely raised from the ground when a
second shot was fired, and another young man fell bathed
in his blood. The crowd, which had increased, then be-
came panic struck, some ran off to Lauzerte to inform tho
magistrates of what bad happened, while others, half
stupefied, gazed about, trying to discover in vain
where the shots could have come from. A third
shut, wounding a third person, dispersed the crowd
in all directions and the flames were left to spread
unchecked. The flash of the third shot was, however,
observed to proleed from the window of an adjoining gra-
nary by two or three persons, who, not having themselves
the courage to make further search, went to meet the geus-
tobywalulachddtehre
darmes on the Lauzerte-road, and informed. them of it.

on a stool with his back turned to the window from whenco
the shots had been fired. He was deadly pale, trembling,
and his garments were dripping with blood. His left hand
was leaning on a gun, and at his feet was a double barreled
pistol yet smoking. His face was one largo bloody wound.
His lower jaw was broken, and there was a hole iu his fore-
head from which blood flowed in torrents. The wretch had

He was arrested and taken to the hospital of St. Unman,
where he soon died of his wounds. The explanation of this

father's house, and then hid himself in the granary to rho
at all those who attempted to extinguish the 'Meg. It is
supposed that he had meditated the diabolical project fur
some time, as several cartridges, bullets, and a quantity of
powder and lead were found upon him. The three wounded
preens are happily expected to recover.
