TILE BAUD CHILD-MtEDF.R.—FRoxE, SATURDAY.
—lt will be remembered that Mr. Saunders's singular in-
quiry at Road was yesterday adjourned sine die, that gen-
tleman stating that he bad ramped • letter from the clerk
to the trates at linelford-on Avon, requesting him to
attend at ithat place this day to explain certain statements i
which he had made at Road. Accordingly this morning our '
reporter attended at the Town-hall, Bradford, about 12
o'clock, it being the day for the fortnightly pett sessioas.
Sight or nine magistrates of the division appeared, and also
the heads of the Wiltshire constabulary. Mr. Endow
acted as chairman, and on the bench we obeerred also Mr.
C. F. D. Caillani, the county court Jnftn. After waiting
some time the reporters were fathomed by the chairman,
who informed them that it was determined to hold
• meeting amongst themselves for private consul-
tation, and they would oblige by withdrawieg.
The expectation that the application for a re-opening of
the coroner's inquiry, which will be probably made to the
Lord Chief Justice some day during the middle of the
nut week, will be succesiful, is most general in this neigh-
bourhood. Mr. Slack, of Bath, has been most assiduously
labouring to complete the necessary affidavits, and it :p.
posed that the proceedings will mums the form of an a -
cation for • rule nisi ; and that as opportunity ' be
afforded to Mr. Sylvester, the coroner, to show muse why
it should not be granted. This would involve at lout as
additional week's delay ere it could he re-commenced.

iced on mule twist in that market (accompanied by an ex-

now that they were recovering from the recent depression))
have led to some business at very full prices, bat buyers will

especially fine qualities above
Ors, and two-foids. Buyers or the continent are also
opiwating to &moderate extent. There is nothing like ant-
mains hi any department of the yarn market, but the busi-
ness is sufficient to keep prices firm, without enabling spin-
ners to realise the advance against them In the raw mate.
riaL In cloth the market is scarcely so well sustained,
though some heavy contracts are yet running in cloth as
well as yarn. In some kinds of T.cloths, printers, and low
'hidings, manufacturers who had begun to stock with
goods made of cotton bought at lower rates (say a month
ago) have sold at the prices then current, rather than conti-
nue stocking, but generally there is a good deal of firm-
ness. A 26-inch T-cloth, 15 by 15, 6 lbs., has sold to-day at
As. Bowe rather considerable sales have taken place where
late prices have been practicable, as in the cases above re-
ferred to, but wherever there is au attempt to realise any-
thing like the increased cost of the raw material busieeie
checked. Buyers do not yet believe in dearer cotton, and
the advioes from America that the damage done to the crops
by frost had been exaggerated tend to perpetuate this
feeling.

WOOLLEN.—Lame, Nov. 10.—There was no feature
ttaportanee in the market this morning ; it was mode-
raaaly well attended, but only • limited business was
lasameted. Prices, however, remain firm, and without any
sotiosehle chow.

HARDWARK—Buutienhah, Nov. 10.—There is • good
and steady trade doing here, notwithstanding the many
rumours 'Moat that it im in a depressed state. It is only •
few of the largest firms who are what are corridered well
off for orders, that it, having two or three weeks before-
hand on their books ; but all who are engaged in any way
in the winter trades have their men at work average time,
and there are very few persons out of employment. In
some of the fancy trades dulness undoubtedly exists, but
the month of November this year is act exceptional is that
respect, and in these branches there is generally mere
ammatiou two or three weeks before Christmas. The pre-
vailing complexion of trade here is that of health, though
upon the whole quietude, yet business is being done better
than when more excitement prevails. In the Daily News
et this morning was announced the failure of Mr.
Blaiikwell, of the Rumen's Hall Ironworks, near Dudley.
The ossualty was long expected, yet the announcement of
it at last kiss caused a sort of convulsion in the locality, and
at Dudley today a good deal of excitement prevailed. Mr.
Blackwell has been a large employer of labour—at one time
he had upwards of 2,000 men in his employ, but his skill,
industry, and perseverance have been overmatched by the
inadequacy of his capitaL His chief indebtedness is to the
Dudley branch of the Birmingham Banking Company, bet
the reports which have been in circulation as to the amount
he ewes the bank are merely conjectural. The Birmingluna
Journal of to-daefers to the subject thus cautiously :
`• The failure of Mr. Blackwell will be a serious blow in the
district, especially in the neighbourhood of Dudley, where
his operations were on •' very large scale. He carried on
works and collieries at Russell's Hall, Corbyes Hall, aced
in the neighbourhood of Brixton ; and until a recent period
kfinr,locte.up to this time) had, we believe, six or eight
in blast. Whether the present difllOulty will lead
to the stoppage of any, or all of these, we have at present
no Information. It would be imprudent, in the absence of
positive information, to state the amount of Mr. Black.
well', liabilities at the gross ; that they amount to as
enormous sum there can be no doubt whatever. The
debts, which are unsecured, do not, in all probability,
exceed 10,0001. The main indebtedness has been contracted
through the Dudley Branch of the Birmingham Banking
Company, the directors of which have, we are informed,
bees providing for several years for the contingency
which has now happened. We may add that the bank holds
by way of security all the most valuable of Mr. Blackwell's
ProPertiga."

Ream°, Nov. 10.—There was an increased attendance
at market this morning, and a fair supply of grain. The
oondition of the wheat is generally infenor, and this causes
a slow and heavy trade. The sales effected were at about
previous rates. Of barley there was a good supply, and an
improvement in the quality of the samples, consequently
there was a fair demand, and prices fully supported- In
other grain no quotable variation.
