TO MI =ITO* or TIM =PRIX&
Sin, —A few daya hence, and public interest will
metre in the new handicaps that are promised to the world
by the 24,i. inst. ; then, perhaps, moms sips of life, and of
the dawn of the coming season, will make theraaelves appa-
rent, it qiiicter winter than the present not having been
experienced by racing men for a long time. Steeplechase
meetings have been interfered with until they lost all their
attractions ; the Derby speculation has proved most
enseasati.a, and the Two Thousand almost a blank ; and
but for the discussion aid settlement of two or three tire-
some objections, the " ball" would have been at a
dead stop. The crusade against Blue Gown remains
the sole startling incident connected with the future—end
either he or something else of Sir Joseph Hawley's was
bound to " go' some day, as it could not be expected that
one gentleman would hold on with three favourites. But
despite his decline, the Kingclere stable still presents the
boldest front, the reported " coughing" of all the three
descendants of Beadsman having failed to influence either
of the " crack." in the market. Both have, so far, pro-
satisfactorily enough during the winter recess,
pro-
wed
having WIN °Vet' at much as Green Sleeve,
notenthstatidiug tbat there did not seem room for it three
months ago, when they ran first and second in the Middle
Park Plate. From this time dates the great rise made by
the pair in the world's estimation, the way Blue Gown
previonaly won the Clearwell giving • further fillip to their
reputation, as it is but reasonable to suppose he
ass the inferior of the three, or Sir Joseph Hawley, with
all his boldness, would not have kept him in the stable
while they were contesting a race worth 4,4101. for the
lakes alone. Would he, again, have put • Derby " pot"
ea for the Middle Park Plate, with such ladies as Elizabeth
and Coventry to beat, had he thought it possible there
were better two-year olds than Rosicrucian and Green
Sleeve in existence' It appears palpable that the best of
this pair must represent the cherry and black, and my
opinion is that over the Epsom mile and • halt the colt
must take the palm, as the filly's forelegs are not the
best that could be made for the ups and downs of the
Surrey hills. It would seem more like policy to leave the
Two Thousand and One Thousand to the lady than start
ber for the Derby, with the Oaks staring her in the face ;
or, while there is such • grand lot of fillies to be met in
the " ladies." races, it would perhaps be more politic to let
Rosicrucian attend to the Gaineas am well as the Derby.
The Marquis of Hastings was long thought to hold the
blr to the great event of lefiti, when possessing such •
quintet as Lady Elizabeth, the Earl, Athena, Seesaw' and
>rameluke ; and even now that the two last-named have
been weeded out of his string, and that Athena's staying
much over half a mile is so doubtful, there is no levying
the danger existing to the Lecturer hoops. Like Achieve-
ment, the Lady recovered her reputation as • wonderful
two-year-old, very soon after she Lad lost it, albeit she
did not suffer so much by her defeat in the Middle-park
Plate as Colonel Pearson's flyer, for she was within two
Imigthe of the brace of young Leadsmen, giving thew equal
to 10111 end 71., respectively. In all her previous essays,
dm did nothing very grand beyond wiouing the July from
Limit+ with ease ; and it has been argued the is not en-
titled to be placed at the top of the tree, even sinking all
consulerations of her dangerous temper. But, after all,
no better two you-old pet (winnows can be pointed out
than her " close up" to Green Sleeve, Rosicruchin, and
Lady Coventry, with so much the worst of the weight' ;
and those who saw Julius running very forward under his
" crusher " in the Cautbridgeslore cannot but give her
great cicilit for the stout race with him. The Earl, it is
said. was always a great deal behind her at home, and so
be wag iu public' without a doubt, his lordship resting his
chime to Derby honours solely on account of the back-
ward condition he came out in, and the hurried manner in
which he was always prepared for an engagement. Under
these &rode intagea, his doings were most creditable ; eo
that., what a ith the doubts concerning the lady's tem-
perament, which is hardly likely to be at itscoolest on •
eemmcr's aftenioou, tko Earl may well become somewhat
et • favourite, as he m might train into very nearly Lally

there is little necessity for his getting any knocking about
beforehand ; iu fact, if he should figure iu more than one
er two of tie miler events he is engaged in next April, it
will to as well for his backers to take the hint and hedge,
as they will then haves strong indication that Le has not
made the improvement he uuw proutimee, and that the

Newmarket men are invariably divided as to the merits
of their ',eta, and each " crack" is so condemned in its
turn that it can easily be believed the Blue itibend will
sot trouble them et all this year. Pace and Speculum are
both fancied by different coteries as liable to turn out
the hest of the Duke of Newcastle's string, which in-
cludes a couple of dark things of great repute called
Talk o' the Hill and Harvester, and when the latter comes
up from Plumber he will be most extensively "touted,"
fur iumy good judges presume he will turn out the best of
the lot. Pace I mule out in my handic►p to bare shown
anything but drat-rake form ; still, be was more " back-
ward" even than the Earl throughout his career, though,
unlike the latter, he does not appear at all certain to
stand the strove work Mr. Dawson moat give him. Again,
when he is at hi best be may not be able to come down the
Epsom hill at all comfortably ; hence it would Le injudi-
mous to interfere with Puce, at least till after the Two
Thousand, r. race be is the better adapted to. He must
always have been very inferior to Lady Coventry, or they
would not have stood her so confidently for the Middle
Park Plate ; and it is the filly's defeat la the latter's ritosthat
nie run away from wit uuly the stable favourite,
but also from the useful Speculum, who is far behind the
Earl. reckon the p air how we may. Mr. Dawson's brother
John has tunny followers, little as there was to like in the
way Typhon% defeated Vale Royal and Pace. Vire the
bibt named. the son of Types, has to do a great deal before
he can be tit to coutest such a race as the Derby ; but he
looks every inch a rarer, and when fully wound uy he
should do more for the " all green" than anything that
has carried the colours before him. Joseph Dawson is the
worst off of the three daugerous brothers now located at
Newmarket, Thunderstorm turning out moderate only,
and the Friponnier wen having but a rotten reed to de-
pend upon, unless the unknown Spartacus hi a " clipper."
The best of Lord Glasgow's unnamed string, too, boa shown
no signs as yet of simulating General Peel.
The Frenchmen have been dangerously quiet for a long
time. and may possibly posaess a second Gladiateur in the
slashiug I:able:in, who always bad the reputation of being
superior to anything elm in the stable. However, his
performances have been no better than Ouragan'a, taken
as a whole•, and th' be.it thing he did will Lot compare
with Le Sarr.can's Woodcote Stakes perforumuce, a defeat
of Speculum being a better certificate than running a good
second to Seesaw at Stockbridge and beating the " amiss"
Vale Royal at Goodwood. There can he no doubt the
Lagrange lot in the Derby are nearly all " wwful " horses
when well, and doming, has given Rabican plenty of
" time " ti come t perfection ; yet it is unreasonable to
suppose Le will its; -tone on Lis juvenile form as much as
Glodisteur did. and he must do this to prove the best of
his year in Ile is pretty certain to have a cut at Sir
Joseph for the Two Thous:toil first, and what a surprise it
would be were Grinishaw the younger (who le, vice Hib-
herd, to take the plate of poor Harry and ride for Count
F. de Lagrange faith at home and abroad) to land him even
among the iiist three.
Suffolk WAS long the pride and hope of the turf metro-
pollens, who thought nothing of his early defeats, a+ they
know he " wanted a dial ,nce," and made much of his vic-
tories at Newmarket, Epson, and Ascot, that he was
credited with afterward,. Only once, however, at this
early period did he meet anything like good horses ; and
his defeat of Vale Royal, 33.141 W, and Tregeagle, would
sot do more now than place Line foremost in the second
rank at stars. At Newmarket J uly he was beaten for speed
only, by Fornioaa and Lonie, the latter of whom was
amiss when he bowled her over in the autumn. just after
succumbing to the E irl. He must take no cristit for that,
and very little for turning the tables on the latter after he
had become used up ; fur to sea him performing in the
Prendergast and Nursery, one mould have thought be never
beet a goad horse. Under any circumstances I cannot
believe Suffolk is lie to the standard of excellence re-
quired in a Derby winner, Restitution's some day proving
almost his equal being quite on the cams.
The remainder at headquarters are all of the outsider
rank ; yet it will not be entirely left to the gentlemen
owning the shormiueutioacd homes to do battle, Lord Fal-
mouth having Court Mantle awl Tregeagle, and Mr. Chap-
lin St. Ronan, to stand by them. These are of no better
class than Seesaw, who has gained some friends since his
arrival at Wadlow'a ; stili they might improve, and were
not Court Mantle rich an arrant rogue lee should meow-
almost great t biog..
It will easily Lo gathered from the foregoiug remarks
that it is nut easy to answer the query, " What will
win the Derby?" " Who" will win can be settled in
about two ginwee, the Plucky Marquis and the Lucky
Baronet, as the two gentleman owning all the best per-
formers are nicknamed, haring all the best per-
formers between them. But taking the metallic ioduenoes
that hare been brought to bear upon Blue Gown as an
excuse for diamimiug Lim, I have Realerucian, Lady Eli-
zabeth, am, Green Sleeve, with the threatening Typhoeus
and Earl, to haunt LA when it comes to a matter of
naming the horses ; and then there are the mysterious
Suffolk, Pace, or Harvests r, Eabican, and perhaps Cocas,
to urge their claims to notice. All the lot named, except
the Earl and Suffolk, are in the Two and One Thousand
Guineas, and when these races are decided it rosy be
easy enough to decide what to make a plunge. However,
they area long way off ; and, pending them, and the dis-
covery of what Sir Joseph's intentions may be, an invest-
ment in favour of the Earl for a " win and place " seems
the most sealable thing to do. Even if Lady Elisabeth
were to be upon her best behaviour and in the best of
form on the Derby Jay, the " place " money might be
won ; and should the lady turn all the other way, and the
cherry jackets come out of the Guineas contests in triumph,
it will be passible for him to play second fiddle to Ron.

NOVEL MODE OF SWINDLINo. —A novel mode of
swindling hes been brought to light by the apprehension,
at Griuisby, of a young woman who has been carrying on
• system of advertising for servants, making appointments
to meet them, and of then obtaining possession of their
clothes. A young woman named Alice Allman, residing
at Copmmitherps, near York, was in want of a situation.
She applied at a register office at York, and was told to
meat a lady in the brat-class waiting-room at the York
railway station. She accordingly met the lady, who called
herself Miss Lister, and was engaged to serve the lady's
aunt, who, she was told, resided at 11, Lister-street, Hull.
A few days afterwards Allman proceeded to Hull, where
• Lister met her. The latter said her aunt was ill, and she
took Allman to • temperance hotel. Allman soon after-
wards missed several articles, but she did not
think of suspecting her mistress. Lister now told her
dupe that she was going to reside in London, and Allman
weed to become her maid. The two proceeded as far as
Ciriuisby, where Lister took lodgings at one of the principal
hotels, attended Divine service, and altogether conducted
herself with decorum. They stayed here a day or two, and
Allman took the opportunity of writing to her father, and
telling him what had occurred. He advised her to go no
. further, and on her refusing to leave Grimsby tier mistress
decamped, leaving her hotel bill unpaid. She was, how-
ever, on the same evening arrested at Louth. She was
brought before the Grimsby magistrates, when •
detective from Wakefield attended he having • warrant
for her apprehension in respect of the theft of a watch,
guard, and other articles from • young woman whom she
bad decoyed under similar circumstances. It appears that
she is a native of Graatham. She was remanded.
MTaTERIOUs RoBBERIEs.—A quantity of larks
having been abstracted from a drawer in a poultry sales-
man's shop in Newgate-street, a City detective wee on
Wednesday last employed to catch the thieves. Two
dozen larks were placed in the chewer, and a strict watch
kept all night. No one came into the premises. but, not-
withstanding, in the morning the birds had "flown"—
all but one, and that was seen in the mouth of a large
rat, which was going with all possible speed down •
hole which leads to • sewer, where the other birds
had been taken Our informant states that eggs have
been taken by dozens, and that the rats have fine

About two o'clock on Saturday, the pedestrians
in Church-street. one of the chief thoroughfare* of Liver-
pool, were greatly startled by a terrific crash caused by
the falling on to the pavement of one of the gigantic
plate-glass window, of Compton-bonse. The window was
blown out of its frame by a sudden gust of wind, which
blew with almost hurricane force from the S.W. during
the day. Fortunately no one was injured, though the
street was crowded at the time, and the window was
broken into a thousand fragments.
KEEPING OYSTERS.—It is customary with many
people on the receipt of • Christmas barrel of oysters, to
empty them out into • vessel of salt and water, and to
supply them with a handful of oatmeal. On this subject
we are told, very truly, that salt and water is a very dif-
ferent thing from sea water, and that "on no account
should oatmeal, flour, or any such dead stuff be added,
which only serves to mike the water foul and the oyster
sick." The following receipt for the preparation of artificial
sea-water will keep the oysters alive and supply them with
natural food for some time :—" For ten gallops it requires:
Sulphate of magnesia. 7} ounces; sulphate of lime, 2j
ounces; chloride of sodium, 431 ounces ; ehleeide of mag-
aegis, 6 ounces ; chloride of .11•11IIIM, If ounces ; bromide
of magnesia, 21 grains ; carte of lime, 21 grains. This
should be allowed to stand exposed to the air in • stoup
sunlight for • fortnight before it is used, during which
dine a few Mowing plants of osteromorpAa or airs should
be introduced to throw off spores. The water then when
order the microscope will be found to contain • oonfervoid
vegetable growth, which forms as nourishing • food for the
oyster as the spores of sea-weed in be oosaa-bed. Oysters
laid down in a large trough and covered with this water
will *retinue to live and thrive for monthe."—Stion-
barrels Review, new number.
FAIRY BTORIES.—There can be no doubt that
fairy stories are held is eery high estimation by our young
people, more so, perhaps, then any other kind of juvenile
Insisters The morrows of poor. "Cinderella,"
the trials and troubles of " Snowdrop " the long rest of
the " Beauty," the wondione adventurer of
" Tommease," se the queer vagaries of the " Yellow
Dwarf," afford an sadism fend of healthy sad hearty

Oxreran, ä Aar. 18.-The show of wheat at this corn ex.
change today was fair for the time of year and the bad.
nese of the weather, the quality and condition of which
were much varied' fine dry wheat not by any teems plen-
tiful, end last week's currencies were maintained, buainer
transactions being confined to purchasers from necessity.
Our report of other kinds of grain may be summed up is
these few words-" dull and dear."
PIITIEBOROOOII, JAN. 18.-We had a fair Pimply of
wheat here to-slay, and prices were 2s. to :is. per qr. le.aber
than last week ; fine 18 stone red made 75e. to i'es, per ,i,
ro
No alteration in the value of oats or barley, but beaus and
peas were somewhat dieter.
'Maputo, JAW. 18.-In spite of the wet weather the at.
tendanos to-day was a average one. Wheat was is
abort supply, a good deal of which was out of condition.
Good dry old wheat made a little more money, but other
kinds were not sought after, and prices on the whole were
about the same as last week. Dry samples of oats, beam,
and peas, were quite as deer.
ROOHInTSR, JAN. 18.-With moderate supplies of wheat
and other sorts of grain brought forward at this market
the trade has ruled exceedingly dull, while prices continuo
to take a downward movement. Of the wimples of wheat
brought forward by factors and farmers the majority of
the samples were in very damp condition, and altogether
unsaleable. For fine beat lots in dry condition about law
rates were obtained, but all other sorts experienced a d...
cline of le. to 3s. per qr., at which concession on the p m
iof holders there was but little business done. the trade
partaking mostly of a retail character. The ;won;
quotations for best white wheat are 7th. to 7.k,
and extra superior lots 735, to 75a. per quarter;
ssoondaty white, Om to 70s. ; and damp and
[inferior, 665. to 68s. per qr. ; best red, ri7e. to 7es. ;
sthondary 635. to b7s. ; and inferior, 62e. to win. per qr.
The foreign trade was languid, and prices are about is.
per qr. cheaper, with very little doing in that description
of grain. Flour continues to be purchased in retail, and
with a dull impiry prices are about fid. to Is, per sack
cheaper. The inquiry for barley being rather betel
prior were the turn dearer, beet samples of both maltin.:
and grinding qualities fetching ad. to Is. per qr. higher
terns. Good old oats command rather more attentioa,
and are a trifle firmer ; new sorts neglected. Beans Co:
turn cheaper, and the demand slow. The weather con-
times wild and unsettled, with much rain.
WISBECH, JAN. 18.-The weather during the week has
been very wet, and therefore unfavourable for threshing.
which has given ns a short supply of wheat to-day, and
although the condition is bad, Is. to 2s. per gr. more
Imoney has beeu given for it, but the buying has been ire..
gular. All spring corn as before.
WORCEnTER, J. 18.-At this day's market there was a
, lieu supply of wheat, which sold readily at fully lent week's
rates. Barley quite as dear. Oats unaltered. Beans k..
in request. :Co inquiry for peas.
1-xax, Jx.v. 18.-At oar corn market to-day there 1a.7..
a tolerable supply of wheat for the time of year. the
show consisting of white and red descriptions. Sales were
made steadily, and late rates were fully supported. l'neti
for white ranged from Pa. to e2s.; for red, 700. to 71..
per :le stone. The barley trade again assumed a healthy
tone. The show of samples was small, and buyers ware
unable to supply their wants, except at quite as conch
money as heretofore. Malting sorts realised Va. to 151.
per quarter ; grinding, 40s. to 41e. per 30 stone. There
was a thin sprinkling of oats for which the inquiry was
fair, and samples changed bands at a shade over forma
rates; new realised 2tis. to Ws. per 21 stone. Beans ears
somewhat sparingly represented, and the tone of the de-
mind was moderate, at very little change from recent
prices_ new, Iris. to 50s. per 38 stone. Malt, Ges. to 7.4.;
rye, 41s. per qr. Flour, 565. to I.e. per sack of 280118.
WATEILEORD, JAN. 18.-Our foreign input list is •blank,
and *Destine° only one smell parcel dour arrived. Siippina
of home grain by all ways restricted. The trade here thls
week has not been so buoyant as last, nor the bueinese dole
so exteueive, yet the few alterations we make in our funu.r
quotations are not of much consequence, but are
against sellers. Wheat-For foreign there were very
few buyers, millers preferring to work out th,ir
stooks and take chance of purchasing from next ar.
rivals ; prices about ed. per barrel cheaper. Irish is
also fel. lower, but moat of the samples to market ware
below an average quality. Barley-Little doing, awl quo-
tations almost nominal. Black oats did not met so much
attention, end our extreme quotations of Saturday last
cannot now be had. Indian corn maintains its value oo
this day se'nuight, and there is no disposition on the port
of holders to in any way press sales. The demand cone
noes at a very fair rate. Flour the turn easier. In pets
this week :-Flour, 114 auks. Exports this--Wheat,
37 barrels ; oath, 4,619 ; dour, 230 sacks ; oatmeal, sit

corrox GOODS.—Mstraistren, Jaw. 18.—A good
deal of business has been done in both cloth and yarn this
week, but more especially during the last three days. No
doubt the rise in cotton commencing on Thursday has
brought the holders of orders for yarn and cloth rather
more precipitately upon the market, and there is reason
to fear that they have ooneented to give higher prices than
prudence would dictate. Sellers of shirtinmi yesterday
end this morning have been able to realise an advance of
40. per piece, and in some cases they are demanding fully
double that amount of advance. The advance is not great
when compared with what we have been accustomed to
during the exceptional years of trade arising out of the
cotton famine, when cotton chiefly ranged at prices of half -
a-crown per lb. down to (In the earlier months of last year)
16d. ; but now that middling Orleans has touched lid. per
lb. it is doubtful if each violent and sudden fluctuations
can be sustained, or at least they will be found consistent
with a sound and healthy business. The improve-
ment is chiefly due to the improvement of one market
(that of China), and the shipments bare already been ex-
tensive, while large contracts are in hand for future ex.
port. Not only are the merchants shipping to that
market who have been accustomed to the trade, but it is
said that American and other houses, who find the trade
to the United States, Canada. and South America over
supplied, are making consignments. It cannotbe expected,
therefore, that the improvement in this branch of trade
will be of long duration. In the coarser kinds of cloth
the demand is still sluggish. Domestics (in which a large
portion of the cotton consumed in this district is used)
are still dull of sale, and are merely rather more saleable
at Tuesday's rates. They have not advanced at all in
proportion to the rise in ahirtings since that day. Fortu-
nately the home trade shows a good deal of improvement
so far as the print trade is concerned, and some of our
most extensive printers of cotton goods are under engage-
ments that will keep them fully employed up to March.
The prices of printing cloths are rather higher, and mulls
and jaoonets are Id. so 10. per piece dearer. Yarns are
0. to id. per lb. dearer than this day week.

WOOLLEN.—LEEDs, JAN. 18.—The attendance at the
cloth halls this morning, although somewhat improved
upon our Tuesday's report, has nut been large. A few
representatives of Bradford and Manchester houses have
been present, but they have not purchased to any large
amount, and the parcels which have left tha markets have,
in most cases, been small. The general inclination ap-
pears to be to wait until the season gets further advanced
before purchasing heavily. There has been but little
alteration in the demand, and we have again to report
tweeds as engrossing the most attention, although the
transfer of these goods is not so extensive as during the
corresponding time last year. A tolerably good business
is being done both in plain and fancy colours, and in the
lower qualities of steel mixtures some moderately good
parcels have been made. There is not much improvement
in the coating and plain cloth departments, but as many
of these goods are delivered to order, it materially attests
the transfer in the cloth halls. The hairlist trade has
again been quiet, and in some quarters better class goods
have changed hands, though out to a large amount.
Prices remain without change.

WOOL AND WORSTED. —Baaorogri. JAN.
Ig.
The week opened with the better feeling so apparent on
the previous Thursday, but this feeling disappeared as the
week advanced, and at the second market, on Thursday
last, there was great languor in the wool trade, ascribed
generally to a desire to SO6 the result of a pending sale of
wool which had been announced for that day. The sale,
as was anticipated, went slowly, in sustaining the currency
which had been estimated ; and many staplers and spin-
ners in the district got supplied from this seutce with
stocks which will keep them going for some time to come.
The worsted yarn trade remains as quiet as ever. If any
there is more inquiry than there has been of late,
but still the offers made are so low and uuremunerative as
almost to preclude business. There have been some
transactions effected in los 30's and some counts of two-
folds. The demand for the home trade is very small.
Prices continue weak and irregular. The slight improve-
ment apparent last week in pieces has hardly been main-
tained during this. The improvement was very partial,
and felt only by a few manufacturers. The absence of
orders for America is a most discouraging feature. The
German trade, though greatly below the average, seems
continuous and sure. The home trade is inactive as yet.
apparently waiting for advice& from representatives who
are out in the country with patterns of new styles. Prier.,
are on the whole rather steadier than they have been.

THE Maw MEAT MARKET AT SMITHFIELD.—fen
Saturday the last iron girder of the extensive works at the
new Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market, which will,
moreover, form the roof of the goods stations of the Metro-
rolitan, Great Northern, and Midland Railway Companies
in the sub-structure, was pl.iced in its position, and when
the remaining portion of the brick arched work is finish..d
—which it is expected will be the CAW in stew days—the
entire site will be handed over to the contractors of the
corporation market works, who are proceeding with their
contract very rapidly. The new Midland line, from the
junction at King's-cross to Moorgate, underneath the
market-place, will be opened also, it is reported, withal
the course of the prevent month.
THE EXToRT CoAL TRADE.—The export coal
business from the various ports of the Paited Kingdom
of last mouth shows an increase of 2.3,1,44 tons over the
corresponding period of 1866, when the esports were
612,*.P44 tons. During December, 184 A, the businessof till.
northern ports fell off to a considerable extent, and the
decressewas no less than 22,9311 tons for the mouth. At the
Scotch ports also there was less business doing, and the
falling off here was 4,5.50 tons. To counterbalance this
' lose, however, there was the extraordinary increase of
41,930 tons at the southern ports, 4,222 at the Yorkshire
ports, 2,409 at London, and 2,788 at LiverpooL The
total exports from January to December, 1/147, inclusive,
amounted to 9,770,044 tons, as against 9,367,1531 tons
la 1066.
TRS NEW FAi TORY AND WORKSHOPS Arr„
The sixth annual meeting of the members of the Notts
Trades' Association was held on Thursdaythe General
Exchange, Nottingham. The report stated alit th
with
e let
parliamentary session was so thoroughly occupied
politics that very little attention was paid to commercial
legislation, and those hills bearing thereon which became
law were so quietly passed through both houses that
neither the members nor the public sufficiently carefully
considered all their provisions. In moving the adoptioa
of the report the chairman (Mr. Gripper) alluded to the
effect which the Factories Extension and Workshop.
Regulation Acts would have upon several of the trades of
Nottingham ; and though its provisions would be found at
that of an irksome character they were yet .4 essential to
the well-being of the power classes that he hoped they
would be carried out as far as possible. It would give
every child the opportunity of acquiring some sort of edu-
cation, and of improves; it in after years. He hoped the
members of the association would do all they could to per-
suede the children in their employ to fall in with the
spirit of the act in this respect, and that the control which
it gave employers over the leisure hours of the young
people would be wisely and beneficially need.
SEVERE GALES. —During tho greater part 01
Saturday and yesterday the metropolis and its suburbs,
and, indeed, the country for some distance round, were
visited by severe storms of wind and ruin, and considerable

HARDWARE.—BIBMINGHAM, JAN. 18.—The reports
in reference to the state of trade in this town are still of
au unsatisfactory character. At the close of last week it
was thought that there were some indications of a re-action
in the country trade, but the movement, slight as it was,
does not appear to have been continuous, for although here
and there some manufacturers are moderately engaged, others
are very abort of orders, and their men continue to make
half or two-thirds time. Such is the case in every branch
the limas-founders, electro-platers, wire-drawers, and all
who are in any way connected with the fancy trades, repot tto
the same effect. In the foreign department bueineas is also
in an unsatisfactory state ; the complete prostration pre-
vailing in the trade of the United States forbids the hope
that there will, be much done in that quarter this spring.
In other branches of the export trade there is also a total
absence of animation.
