WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool are still in progress, but
these will be brought to a close o 1 Thursday next. Since
we last wrote they have gone off with a fair amount of
animation, but the chief activity is confined to good and
fine wools, which move off freely, principally for home
consumption, at the rates current at the close of last series ;
the value of these qualities has consequently improved since
the opening of the present sales. Faulty wools, however,
are difficult of sale, and these now show a reduction from
last series of from ld to 2d, in some instances 3d, per lb,
Up to the present time nearly 80,000 bales have been dis-
posed of, the bulk of this quantity having been taken for
home consumption. In English wool the amount of busi-
ness doing is very moderate. Prices, however, rule firm
and are without material change from last week. The im-
port into London last week was 679 bales from Port Philip,
2,407 Sydney, and 3,027 bales from Odessa.

RAMSEY ISLAND.—The island will well repay a
visit. It is about three miles long by one broad,
and at either end it rises into lofty cliff', whose face towards
the sea is precipitin's, and at certain periods of the year
literally swarms with all kinds of sea birds, ic eluding puf-
fins, eligugs, gulls, &c. The hawk, the eagle, and the
peregrine, falcon, too, often hang about these cliffs on the
look out for rabbits, in which Ramsey still abounds, though
their numbers hare been thinned sadly of late years by
rats. The island was once, according to tradition, a home
of monastic sanctity, and seldom or never trodden by the
foot of a woman—little wonder, by the way, considering the
difficulty and danger of the passage, except to such beings
as St. Justinian. The antiquary will fluid some ruins of an
old farmhouse, and traces of two chapels, which once were
holy places, and several stone coffins have been dug up in
the island. The fittest scenery is to be found at the south
eastern point, where, from cliffs, some 400 feet high, 3ou
look down upon two little rocks called Kite's Island and
Precentot's Island, both of which consist of steep craggy
cliffs, tufted with thick matted herbage, and abounding in
sea fowl. Beyond, outside Ramsay, lie a cluster of rugged
and rocky islands, entitled the " Bishop and his Clerks,'2
which have often proved themselves, in classic language,
the "stepmothers of seafaring men." And far away, at
the distance of seven leagues, the visitor may descry in the
offing the lighthouse on the Smalls, another cluster of
some 20 rocks, more or less hidden at high water, most
dangerous objects in rough weather, though there is deep
water enough between the coasts and these remnants of a
submerged continent for all her Majesty's fleet to sail.—

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of English beasts here to-day was chiefly
composed of the refuse of Monday, and the show of foreign
was large. The demand for all breeds was very inactive,
at unaltered quotations. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81be.
We were fairly supplied with sheep, which changed hands
slowly at previous rates. The best Downs and half-breds
sold at 5a 61 per Bibs. Calves were in fair supply and
sluggish request, on former terms, viz., 4s to 5s per Blbs.
Pigs were tolerably firm in price, but mulch cows ruled
heavy.

not know what he was about. He was thoroughly intoxi-
cated, and I told him that if he did not get out of my house
in half an hour I would kick him out, and he took me at my
word and went. The circumstance of his being drunk so soon
after he had come to me was so opposed to the character
I had just received of him that my suspicions were
aroused, and I determined to leave no stone unturned until
I ascertained whether prisener had not entered my service
by means of a false character. I corresponded with the
head of the constabulary, at Brentwood, Essex, inquiring
about Capt. Willes, and I received in answer a communi-
cation I now produce. informing me that there was no
Capt. Willes known there, and no house of the name men-
tioned as his residence.

Mr Selfe—How do you suppose the character was
given ?

Prosecutor--There is no doubt about the mode in which
it was done. I have been informed by the chief constable,
at Brentwood, that the postmaster there received a written
slip of paper, requiring letters addressed to Capt. Willes to
be sent to 3, Southward-place, Hyde-park. Thsro he was
introduced to the master of the house, a gentleman who
has lent me every assistance (Capt. Dyke). He knows
nothing of a Capt. Willes, but there is every reason to
blievo that there has been collusion with some of his ser-
vents, and that the character emanated from that quarter.:
Mr Solfe—ls there any further evidence ?j
Sergeant Huddy, of the B division—l took the prisoner
last night at the address given in the Edgware-road, when
he admitted his guilt.

Mr Selfe—What did he say ?
Witness—Ho said he was very sorry; it was a false cha-
racter he had got, and he must admit it; but he was very

sorry.

Prisoner—l am guilty. I had been a long while out of
a situation, and wanted to get another;
➢lr Selie—And when you had got it you took the quickest
means in your power to lose it. Your conduct is very dis-
graceful, and this is a most serious offence, I shall fine
you 420, and in default commit you for six months.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Oat, 10....-Duoinozo in Men. Loot.. zo or
the same character as that described in yesterday's report.
Prices are drooping and almost nominal, buyers holding
aloof, and operating only where goods aro offered at excep-
tionally low prices. Every day's experience seems to give
a new lesson of caution. To use a buyer's expression, "it
we buy goods in Tuesday's market because they appear to
be cheap, we find when FL iday's market comes they wore
dear." Sellers say that virtually prices have come down to
about 18d, per lb. for cloths, and it is difficult to get orders
even for small quantities at that. The failures named yes-
terday of manufacturers appear to have reached nearly a
dozen, and to day the suspension is mentioned of a firm of
manufacturers at Ashton having four or five mills in ope-
ration. _ _

LEICESTER, 19th.—There has been a satisfactory amount
of business transacted during the past few days in hosiery
goods, particularly in the fancy departments. Manatee-
turers continue well employed to order. At Hinckley and
Loughborough business is rather quiet. Yarns are selling
at recent quotations, and spinners are fairly engaged,
making only to order. In wools there is no important
change ; the market generally is quiet. •
NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—The lace trade continues very flat.
There have been a few home buyers in the market, but
they have only bought sparingly, particularly of staple
goods. Continental buyers abstain from purchasing, in
consequence of the uEsettled state of the yarn market, and
yac laces are in tolerable request. There is a little doing in
Mecklin quiltings, but no improvement whatever has taken
place in the demand for black laces or silk Mecklins and
quillings. The hosiery trade remains very depressed.
There is no revival in either the home or foreign markets.
Yarns are a trifle firmer.

Yesterday the hall was again very crowded, so that it was
positively difficult to move, and the sales were very profit-
able. Fans, rings, studs, &c., made by Cont erate pt i-
soners, were sold at several stalls, and excited much ints-
erst by the ingenuity and skill used in their manufacture,

Extraordinary Suicide.

Yesterday an investigation was held by Dr Lankester,
the coroner for Central Middlesex, touching the death of
Mr Robert Henry Williams, aged 27, who was the London
manager of the Mercantile and Exchange Bank, at the pri•
vate residence of that gentleman, 9, New Cavendish. street,
Cavendish-square.
Mr Wm. Smith:Williams, 13, Ampthin-square, identified
the body as that of his son, who was a bank manager. He
saw mm nist alive on ;Sunday last, and he was then in his
usual health, but much depressed in spirits.
Mr G. Harley, M.D., analytical chemist, and Professor
of Medical Jurisprudence at University Cullege Hospital,
said he had made a post-mortem examination of the body
36 hours after death. After describing the results of the
various tests employed, he said he could distinctly say tha
the cause of death was poisoning by cyanide of potassium
Mr George Napoleon Epps, M.R.C.S., said he was re-
lated to deceased, and frequently saw him, sometimes two
or three times a week. He saw him on Sunday last, but he
was not as usual— ho seemed depressed, which witness attri-
buted to his overwork at the bank. He believed that de-
ceased had overworked his brain, and his mind had given
way under the pressure of anxiety. He was present with
Dr. Harley at the post-mortem examination. He received
a message from Drake, the serving man to deceased, about
eleven o'clock on Monday night, asking him to come and
see deceased. He went, and was shown into the parlour,
when Drake said, in answer to inquiry, "He is not here,
he is in his bedroom." Witness then went upstairs and
spoke to deceased. Ho did not answer, upon which witness
put his hand on deceased's forehead in a friendly way and
found he was dead. This was at five minutes past eleven.
Ile then called assistance.
After some other evidence,
The Coroner inquired if any paper had been found which
had contained cyanide of potassium, or whether deceased
practised photography ?
A negative reply was returned.
A brother of deemed said that he was in the habit of
taking photographs, but he could not say whether deceased
had possessed himself of any of the cyanide of potassium.

The jury returned a verdict that deceased was fuund dead
in his bed from the mortal cfEcts of cyanide of potassium,
which he bad taken by his own hand while in an unsound
state of mind.

COPENHAGEN.

Yesterday a special general meeting of this com-
pany was held at the offices, Angel-court, Throg.
morton-street, Mr P. P. Gordon in the chair, to con-
sider the present condition of the company. The
chairman said the receipts on the section of the line
opened to Fredericksborg fully justified the expec-
tations that had been formed of it, and the section
to Klampenberg would be completed by the begin-
ning of the year. The present meeting had been
called to consider the question of raising further
funds, it having been found necessary to lay down a
double line in certain localities, in consequence of
which the cost of the line would exceed the original
estimate. Under these circumstances the contractor
had agreed to complete the line, to comply with the
requirements of the municipal authorities, and to
receive part payment in debentures bearing interest
at 7 per cent. This would render it necessary to call
up more than £7 per share and to issue debentures
bearing interest at 7 per cent., redeemable in five
years to the extent of the paichrip capital of the
company (X 27,000). By this means ample funds
would be provided for the completion of the line,
rolling stock, and stations. A long discussion en-
sued on the present position of the company's
affairs, and upon the impracticability, in the present
state of the money market, of issuing debentures as
proposed. Ultimately a committee of three share-
holders, to act with the directors, was appointed to
inquire into the company's affairs and ascertain what
was best to be done, and the meeting separated.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 20, 1864.

Lord STANLEY'S speeches are always worth per-
nAng, and he generally contrives to state some fact
that, is connected with public questions that imparts
a significance to them, while he is never led away
by the excitement or enthusiasm of his subject to
inlalge in that exaggeration to which many
sneakers are prone, and which often detraot's
s'2riously from the effect of their oration. The noble
lord had not a very promising array of circum-
stances to set before hia hearers, nor a very
flourishing condition of the political world to des-
cant Linen, but he went straight to his work, and
succeeded in presenting them with a candid view
of his own o2inions, and also with some very
striking criticisms upon the most notable public
events of the day. Three years have passed since
Lard STANLEY last addressed the electors of Lynn,
50 that he had ample scope for his observations to
range over, and plenty of subj Let matter to occupy
his attention. He skid that there had been no

particular eagerness fotring thht time regarding
I.'Y home question, and that there was great be—
wildertnent in the minds of many regarding the
State of thieg9, This qui,,sccnce as to agitation
ibe noble lord had very wisely attributed to two
calms in particular—the BUCCCSB that has attended
practical ab3olutisna in Prance, and the crisis that
has taken place in the great Republic of America.
There is no doubt that both these circumstances
and especially the latter one, have
operated
powerfully in quelling the excitement which
was pretty generally felt a few sears
back regarding Rtform in Parliament and

, The usual weekly meeting of the Bank of Eng-
land directors has been adjourned without any
modification having been announced in the official
minimum rate of discount. A very satisfactory
feeling has consequently been imparted among all
classes, monetary as well as commercial, leading to
the belief that the return to be issued this evening
froth that establishment will show that the alteras
kti°ne which have taken place during the week
'aye been very favourable. Oat of doors, there-
fore, less anxiety has been manife3ted, and more
disposition evinced by discounters to secure business
at the current official rate. Several transactions in

Horticultural Gardens,

Yesterday the last fruit and vegetable show of the season
and which will be continued during to-day and to-morrow,
was held at these gardens. The attendance, as might bo ex-
pected at this time of the year, was small, and was mostly
confined to those who take an interest in these branches of
horticulture. In point of excellence the show was a remark-
ably fine one, and the vegetables especially showed no signs
of that deterioration which the long-continued drought is
said to have occasioned among root crops of all kinds. It
will be observed that on this occasion the usual small sums
given in prizes were done away with, and a more valuable
award for a really earnest and striving competition—the
first and second class certificates of the Society—were
awarded in their stead.
The following wore the chief certiNates given during the
competition in the principal classes :

COPENHAGEN.

Yesterday a special general meeting of this com-
pany was held at the offices, Angel-court, Throg..
morton•street, Mr P. P. Gordon in the chair, to con-
sider the present condition of the company. The
chairman said the receipts on the section of the line
opened to Fredericksborg fully justified the expec-
tations that had been formed of it, and the section
to Klampenberg would be completed by the bogie--
fling of the year. The present meeting had been
called to consider the question of raising further
funds, it having been found necessary to lay down a
double line in certain localities, in consequence of
which the cost of the line would exceed the original
estimate. Under these circumstances the contractor
had agreed to complete the line, to comply with the
requirements of the municipal authorities, and to
receive part payment in debentures bearing interest
at 7 per cent. This would render it necessary to call
up more than X 7 per share and to issue debentures
bearing interest at 7 per cent., redeemable in five
years to the extent of the paid•up capital of the
company (X 27,000). By this means ample funds
would be provided for the completion of the line,
rolling stock, and stations. A long discussion en-
sued on the present position of the company's
affairs, and upon the impracticability, in the present
state of the money market, of issuing debentures as
proposed. Ultimately a committee of three share-
holders, to act with the directors, was appointed to
inquire into the company's affairs and ascertain what
was best to be done, and the meeting separated.

RAMSEY ISLAND.—The island will well repay a
visit. It is about three miles long by one broad,
and at either end it rises into lofty cliffs, whose face towards
the sea is precipitous, and at certain periods of the year
literally swarms with all kinds of sea birds, iscluding, puf-
fins, eligugs, gulls, &C. The hawk, the eagle, and the
peregrine, falcon, too, area hang about these cliffs on the
look out for rabbits, in which Ramsey still abounds, though
their numbers have been thinned sadly of late years by
rats. The island was once, according to tradition, a home
of monastic sanctity, and seldom or never trodden by the
foot of a woman—little wonder, by the way, considering the
difficulty and danger of the passage, except to such beings
as St. Justinian. The antiquary will find some ruins of an
old farmhouse, and traces of two chapels, which once were
holy places, and several stone coffins have been dug up in
the island. The finest scenery is to be found at the south•
eastern point, where, from cliffs, some 400 feet high, Sou
look down upon two little rocks called Kite's Island and
Precentor's Island, both of Ns hich consist of steep craggy
cliffs, tufted with thick matted herbage, and abounding in
sea fowl. Beyond, outside Ramsay, lie a cluster of rugged
and rocky iskuds, entitled the "Bishop and his Clerks,"
which have often proved themselves, in classic language,
the "stepmothers of seafaring men." And far away, at
the distance of seven leagues, the visitor may descry in the
offing the lighthouse on the Smalls, another cluster of
some 20 rocks, more or less hidden at high water, most
dangerous objects in rough weather, though there is deep
water enough between the coasts and these remnants of a
submerged continent for all her Majesty's fleet to sail.—

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON,

It appears that recent negotiations between the
directors of this company and the directors of the
Whitehaven Junction Railway Company have re-
sulted in a provisional agreement to lease the
Cookermouth lino to the Whitehaven Junction Com.
pany in perpetuity, on terms equivalent to a dividend
of 10 per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital
of the Cookermouth Company.
