THE CONSETT IRONIVORKS.—The Consett Iron-
works, in the county of Durham, it is stated, have
been disposed of to a public company, composed chiefly of
the creditors of the late District Bank. The price obtained
for the entire establishment is £295,000. This sum in-
cludes the works both at Consett and at Bishopwearmouth.
The purchase is to date from January 1, 1864, and any
of the creditors of the old bank are to be at liberty to
take shares in the new concern for the amount of their
debts. The cost of these works was, it is reported,
over a million sterling, and the sum for which they were
valued 12 months ago, by the valuers appointed by the
liquidators of the Northumberland and Durham District
Bank, was £250,000. It is a matter of great satisfaction to
the trade of the north that this very satisfactory arrange-
ment has been arrived at. The works are must expensive,
and recently they have had a high reputation in connexion
with making iron plates and angles for the Government.
The list of the Lord Chancellor's livings sold
since the act of last session came into operation contains few
names of any ncte or consequence. Walton-on-Thames,
Newhaven, St. Saviour's at York, and St. Neot's, Hunts,
are among the sales. St. Clement's, Oxford, has been sold
to the Warden of Wadham ; and the Earl of Shaftesbury
has made la' unelf proprietor of St. Ebbe's, Oxford, the in•
cumbent of which is 79 years old. The incumbents of six
other of the 37 livings sold are above 70—one is 79, two 80
or upwards, and one is 91 years of age. This last gentle-
man is incumbent of the Norfolk living, which with a net
income of only '£262, sold for £5,000. 18 of the livings,
half the entire number, were bought by clergymen.—

THE TYNE.—There have been large arrivals of
Norwegian vessels in the Tyne during the past few
days, but none or few from Denmark, Some Prussian
vessels have lo.f.en detained in this river some time, the cap-
tains deeming it prudent to remain in harbJur, rather than
run the chance of being captured by Danish cruisers. Iroa
shipbuilding is very aezive upon the Tyne, and there is a
considerable demand for tug steamers for the Clyde, Liver-
pool, and other ports. Several of the iron shipbuilding
yards on the Tyne are also employed upon screw colliers of
large tonnage, which are every year being more brought
into the coal trade, not only to London, but to Hamburg,
France, and other places. The goods trade to and from the
Tyne is nearly all done by this class of vessels.

JUVENILE INCENDIARIES.—Yesterday (Wednes-
day) at the Shireball, Nottingham, two boys named
William Keeton and Henry Knowles (both under seven
years of age), were charged before the sitting magistrates
with setting fire to a stack belonging to Mr. Bradshaw on
Saturday last. It appeared that the boy Knowles on the
day in question bought a farthing box of matches and a
pipe, and the other boy got some tobacco. They wont to
the stack yard to smoke, when one of them struck a match
and lighted his pipe, and then threw the match under the
hack, setting it on fire. Tile bench, atter severely repri-
manding the P:ison'ae, discharged them on account of their
tender years,
