matter of course and as a direct consequence of this
—while the Coalition Government and the Conser-
Tative Oppcsition have been " tiding-over" both time
and circumstances, in this deliberate manner, post-

the small Ministerial majority with which the
PALMERSTON Cabinet started upon its adventurous
career, has rapidly dwindled and dwindled down,

THAMES.

ATTEMPT TO DROWN A, WATERMAN.—John Lyman, a
mechanic, was brought up on remand, eharged with at.
tempting to drown James Billingley, a waterman, of No. 7,
New biontague•streef, Whitechapel.
On Sunday morning last at one o'clock the prosecutor
was plying for hire at Irongate Stairs, adjoining the eastern
end of the Tower, when the prisoner and another man
accosted him and said they wanted is boat to ferry them to
the opposite side of the river. The waterman demanded
6d. from each man, and said he would not take them unless
they paid him before they got into his boat. One of the
men said he would not cross the river at all, and at
the same moment he was instantly shoved from the
platform ou which he was staniing into the river. There
was 10 feat of water, and he had great difficulty in saving
himself.

In answer to questions by the magistrate, the waterman
said—l was not one arm's length from the two men when
they refused to give me the money. The reason I demanded
the fare before I consented to ferry them across the river
was that I had been often cheated of my fare. The pri-
soners did not attempt to get away. The water was right
up to the steps.

James Metcalfe, a waterman, was on a barge off Irongate-
stairs, and saw two men standing close to Billingley. One
of them shoved him into the water. Billingley was
struggling, and he assisted in getting him out of the water.
The prisoner—I assure your worship, I did not lay a
hand on the waterman. He asked 6d of each of us. I
stepped aside with my face to the wall, and when I came
back the other man had run away.
Billingley was reca►led, and said the prisoner was closes
to him when he was shoved into the water. The other man
did rah away.
Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial.

words, that the plate resisted the effect of the shot

in a direct ratio to the rigidity of its backing. The
lecturer gave somo further details of the Dahlgren
gun, and remarked that we went on manufacturing
guns which were certainly inferior to those of
America, while the Americans appeared to ignore
altogether our iron-clads. After contrasting the
power of the guns of the two nations, Capt. Scott

made at Shoeburyness he was led to the conviction

ironclad vessels was altogether wrong, and that,
instead of placing the thick armour-plating on the
outside of the ship, as we were now doing, we
should reverse the process, and place on the outside
the iron skin, within it the backing of timber, and
finally inside the iron armour-plates. This he was
prepired to contend was the best form with which
to construct our iron ships. From its adoption he
believed that several advantages would result, the
chief of which would be that the shot would be
deprived of much of its powers in passing through
the iron and timber before coming into contact with
the armour, while all danger from splinters would
be at an end, and increased steadiness given to the
vessel from the armour being removed from the
outside. He would also advocate the placing of
the guns in casemate batteries on board ship, so
that a shot entering at either cf the ports would
be confined in effect entirely to that portion of
the vessel. Ho looked upon Chalmers's target as
being the best yet tested at Shoeburyness, but, at
the same time, he did not consider it to be con-
structed on an altogether right principle. Captain
Scott then alluded to the turret-ships now being
built by the Americans, which would be covered
with plates ten inches in thickness. He also referred
to the rapid atzides made by them in the mai:tufa°.

"THE GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL.—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, through ihe medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is n,ghtly held at the CAN-
TERBURY HALL. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real life, both In its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux.
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the bes► wr ters. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the "White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly replace Iby others. The pages (.1 Shakspere and the
eh+er Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ingoldsby, Dickens, &c., fio.,
wi 1, in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c.; Comedy by (Jnsworth

Marshall, and George Hutchenson.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Dec. 11,---The unnatural calm which has
so long prevailed in this market still exists, and there is a
sort of feeling as to something that will take place affecting
the market, though not as to what that something will be.
Among a great number of people there is an impression that
prices will go lower, but that feeling is by no means general.
There has been a shade better feeling in the yarn-market
to- day, but it has not resulted in an actual increase of busi-
ness. Yarns are about id. per lb. lower, but for the present
the downward tendency seems to be checked a little, as the
result of the inquiry during the day. In cloth we have had
a little more inquiry, especially for shirtings and long-cloths;
but such goods are generally required for immediate de-
livery, and that does not suit manufacturers, and the prices
offered in nearly all cases have been below what sellers are
disposed to accept. The business done has been very small,
and a general apprehension prevails in the cloth more than
the yarn market that lower prices will rule. Manufacturers
are talking more and more of a determination to stop their
mills unless the price of cotton declines so as to give them
a batter chance of working to advantage. Buyers will not
give a price for goods to cover the present cost of cotton,
and an impression exists that many manufacturers will close
at Christmas for a month at least. There are some spinners
and manufacturers who have engagements which will run
into February or March, and who must of course keep open
their mills, and others making a class of goods which are
not so muoh affected by price who may also be expected to
continue working.

NOTTINGHAM, 18th.—There has been a good attendance
of merchants and manufacturers at this Exchange-hall to-
day, but only a moderate share of business was done in lace
yarns, the near approach of the Christmas holydays causing
buyers to hold off. Prices remained without material altera-
tion. The business done in hosiery yarns was middling,
and late rates were supported. About an average business
is doing in silks at unaltered rates. For brown nets the
demand is still slow at irregular rates, but prices are still
below prime cost.

SUN OFFICE, HALT-PAST 4 o'CLocic,

SPAIN.

A letter from Madrid, of the 15th, says A
fresh meeting of the repretsentatives of the preen
took place yesterday at the house of M. Rivero, the
object being to decide whether the explanations of
M. Rios Roses should be accapted and the absten-
tion given up,
in consequence of several journals, commercial
The discussion was very animated,
rather thin political, such as the Correspondene
and the Epoch, as v,. ell as others which depend on
the Government, like the Rein°, being desirous
of overruling what had been berore agreed on.
Opinions could not be reconciled. Five journals,
the Correspondencia, the
_Zpoca, the :Rein°,
the Itazon Lspanola, and the Tribuna,
de-
clared themselves opposed to abstention, and
from to-morrow they will recommence publish-
ing the sittings of the Congress. The 16 other
journals maintain what was decided upon at the
former meeting. The alliance being thus broken,
although by only an insignificant minority, things
will return by degrees to their old state, and the
triumph of the President of the Congress
over the
press will be complete. In the opinion of impar_
Oat persons, the press ought not to have thrown
down the gauntlet, since the same firmness did
not exist among all the representatives of the
journals in supporting what had been decided on.
When the five journalists presented themselves
to-day in the tribune, a dethive smile might be
observed on the lips of the deputies. In politics
when a threat is not followed by a blow, ridieuto
is sure to fall on the matter."
