S I'A7E OF 7RADR,

DUNDEE, Dec. 9.—The demand for flax in the
regular market is not activ!,, but prices are main-
tained. About 60 tong of flax, landed damaged,
were sold at auctiP.,n to-day, and brought their full
value. Tow find codilla are also quiet, but firmly
held. To day there is more inquiry for jute, and
any suitable parcels are readily sold at a sm4ll ad-
vance on late rates. The yarn market has been very
animated to-day again, and a '.arge business done in
flax, tow, and jute qualities, at very full prices, in
many instances for forward delivery in January
and February next. The demand for hessiaus,
bagging, and some other jute fabrics, also for Forfar
goods generally, and for sailcloth continues remark-
ably active,,almost every maker being ti long way
foresold. To-day the transactions er,i,cred into were
numerous and extensive, and wire would have been
done had buyers been able to place their orders,
but some manufacturers positively refuse to sell
more, having already so many goods to deliver.
LEICESTER, 10TIL—Business in the general
hosiery department continues active for the time of
the year, and there is rather more than an average
amount doing. In the country districts business is
flat, and the operatives are only partially employed.
Yarns hold high in price, worsted spinners being
ab well employed, and the market continues
tfirm.oler Il
tolerably
wools there is no important change, but
prices are firm.

NOTTINGHAM, 10TH.—There is a very little
change to notice in the lace trade. During the past
few days business has been quiet, and not much
alteration is anticipated until after Christmas. All
classes of cotton goods are difficult to sell at the pre-
sent high prices. Very few buyers come into the
market, and operations are limited. The demand
for black silk laces is slightly improving ; other
descriptions of silk goods are quiet. In hosiery
there is not much doing. There are a few small
orders in the market, but business generally is flat.
Yarns are scarce and exceedingly dear.

The directors of the Provincial Bank of Ireland
have declared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of
4 per cent., and also an extraordinary dividend of
30s,
on each £lOO share, and 12s. on each £lO
Enare.

The remittances of specie to the East by the
steamer of the 20th inst. will be principally fur
China, the large amount of government bills to be
drawn monthly on India having caused for the time
an almost entire cessation of purchases of silver for
that quarter.
The total of gold by the Etna and City of Wash-
ington from New York has not yet been clearly
stated, but it is supposed to be over £200,000. As
tne Continental Exchanges continue to show firm-
ness,and the latest quotations both from China and
Brazil are more favourable for this country, there
semis to be some likelihood of a portion of the
amount being taken to the Bank.

THE WORSBOROUGH DALE CALAMI7 I',

The engineers met yesterday to consult as to re.
opening the pit to recover the dead.
A few minutes after they had decided not to
enter the pit at present another terrific explosion
occurred.

It was afterwards determined to partially fill up
the cupola shaft and seal the mouths of the other
two shafts, and flood the entire pit with water.
The recovery of the bodies is delayed for months,
and no more lives are lost.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although the supply of beasts on sale here to-day was
extensive, most breeds were in fair request at Monday's
currency. A few very superior Scots realised 55 2d, but
the general top figure was 5s per 81b. Sheep, the show of
which was moderate, sold steadily at full prices. The best
Downs were worth 6s 8d per 81b. We have to report a
slow sale for calves, which were in limited supply, at late
rates—viz., from 3s 6d to 4s 6d per 81b. The pork trade
was heavy on former terms. In mulch cows very little
business was transacted.

No market will be held on Christmas-day, but we undeLz
stand that one will be held either on Wednesday or Friday
next. The day is not yet fixed,

ANOTHER VICTIM TO CRINOLINE.—On Monday
evening Miss Sarah Howard, aged 14, whose parents reside
in Catherine-grove, Greenwich, died from injuries sustained
through her clothes taking fire. It appears that the unfor-
tunate girl was sitting with her brother near the fire, and
on getting up to possess herself of a book which he had, her
frock, owing to the crinoline which she was wearing, came
in contact with the fire, and she immedialcely became en-
veloped in flames, receiving such frightfig.l injuries that
death resulted five hours afterwards.

WESTMINSTER.

THREE WEEKS AFTER WEDLOCK,—A very genteel-
looking young woman, but who appeared to be in a delicate
state of health, besought the magistrates' assistance.
She said that her husband was constantly ill-treating her,
and however unpleasant it was she had felt compelled to
seek the protection of the law.
Mr. Paynter—How long have you been married ?
his
Mfiprsp.ti.i pcaaYnntter—What was .the reason ?
Applicant—Only four months, and I am, of course, very
sorry, under such circumstances, to come here; but I don't
know what to do, I am so ill-used.
Mr. Paynter—What is the description of ill-usage of
which you complain ?
Applicant—He beats me; he commonly knocks me
about.
Mr. Paynter—You soy you have only been his wife four
months. When did he commence to beat you ?
Applicant—Three weeks after we were married, and I
gave him no provocation that I am aware of.
Mr. Paynter—Then what is the cause of his conduct ?
to part, for I am very unhappy.
M
Applicant—He says he wants to get rid of me; that ho
don't wa!t me any longer; and I am sure that, if that is
hisylvisil,l am quiteready
health is very indifferent, and he tries to tread me under
foot instead of using me kindly,

Applicant—Yesterday; he struck me on the back with

I had provided, in which I had done all that I thought
right.
Mr. Paynter—Did he hurt you much ?
Applicant—He did, and after he had given me a blow in

police court does any good if it can be avoided. You may

COMMERCE AT NEW YORK.

The commercial letters from New York this week
state that the President's Message had created a
very feeble impression among the financiers and
stock dealers. The confusion and uncertainty pre-
valent in the money market had been illustrated by
fluctuations in the premium on gold, so rapid and
extensive as to impart a gambling character to all
transictions. On Dec. 1 the quotation bad de-
clined to 281, with every appearance of a further
fall, but in the afternoon of the same day, witt-
out any new occurrence of importance, it advanced
to 31, thus affecting to the extent of 3 per cent..
every credit operation. On the sth inst. similar
movements were witnessed, the premium being
33 in the morning, 30f in the middle of the day,
and 311 at the close. Under these circum-
stances there was the constant sense that the 41-
(3-ease of the existing paper issues which it was be-
lieved could not be long avoided might produce
extraordinary results. It appears that the leading
English merchants at New York bad received with
satisfaction the news of England having declined to
join France in the proposed offer of mediation. At
present, they say, it would certainly have been re-
pelled, while, as the symptoms are plain that there
is an increasing party who are getting more and
more tired of the war everyday, it is quite possible
that if the North meet with no better success
during the next 90 days than has recently been
attained, an attempt of the European Powers to
promote peace may then be received in a much
milder spirit. The eager desire for peace ren-
dered it possible for the speculators occasionally
to circulate with effect reports in that direction,
and for a short time a rumour bad actually
obtained partial credence that the South had
made overtures. Disappointment continued to
be felt at the absence of any important intern-
-ligenev from tho army, and the idea that it is
intended to remove General Burnside was stillstur6
rent. Statements from the South, supposed to be
authentic, represent the Confederate troops in
Virginia to number 250,000 men, and it was sup-
posed the Federal forces are of about the same ex-
tent. The chief danger to the South is considered
to be from the possibility of the Mississippi
squadron capturing Vicksburg, and thus obtaining
the command over the entire length of that river_
In the West, the growing dislike of the war is said.
to be as strongly apparent as at New York, and
some of the leading politicians in that region
intimate that if it should last until the new Con-
gress meet in December, 1863, they will endeavour
to bring it to a close by offering the South ample
guarantees against interference, and if that should
fail, by agreeing to recognise their independence
with the hope that after an interval of peace a
new union might be found practicable.

ADELPHI TII FA IRE.

Miss Avonia Jones took her first benefit here last
evening, one of the prominent features of the pro-
gramme being the revival of Mr. Buckstone's
drama, " Agnes de Vere," which has not been
played in London for some twenty-three years.
Miss Avonia Jones played Agnes de Vere with un-
exaggerated intensity and genuine artistic power.
Her conception of the claracter was perfect. In
the part of Alfred de Vere a new actor, Mr. J. C.
Cowper, made a very favourable impression.
" The Honeymoon " was played later in the even-
ing, Miss Avonia Jones making, as Juliana, her
first appearance in comedy.
Mr. Paul Bedford, a veteran comedian, takes his
benefit next Monday. He offers to his patrons a
bill of fare more than ordinarily attractive. Mr.
Sothern appears for the first time in "The Little
Treasure," in conjunction with Miss Marie Wilton ;
the second act of the "The Green Bushes" for Mr.

THREE WEEKS AFTER WEDLOCK.-A very genteel-
looking young woman, but who appeared to be in a delicate
state of health, besought the magistrates' assistance.

She said that her husband was constantly ill-treating her,
and however unpleasant it was she had felt compelled to
seek the protection of the law.
Mr. raynter—How long have you been married ?

Applicant—Only four month% and I am, of course, very
sorry, under such circumstances, to come hero; but I don't
know what to do, I am so ill-used.

Mr. Paynter—What is the description of ill-usage of
which you complain ?

Applicant—He beats me ; he commonly knocks me
about.

Mr. Paynter—You say you have only been his wife four
months. When did he commence to beat you ?
Applicant—Three weeks after we were married, and I
gave him no provocation that I am aware of.
Mr. Paynter—Then what is the cause of his conduct?
Applicant—He says he wants to get rid of me; that he
don't want me any longer; and I am sure that, if that is
his wish, I am quite ready to part, for I am very unhappy.
My health is very indifferent, and he tries to tread maunder
foot instead of using me kindly.

" I have barely time to tell you, before the mail closes,
that Col. Spear, of the 11th Pennsylvanian Cavalry, met
the enemy in force about two miles this side of the Black-
water, near Franklin, yesterday. In a brilliant charge,
headed by the gallant Colonel, he drove the enemy back
.nto and over the river, captured two sections of their rocket
battery, and took a good many prisoners. He had infantry
and artillery supper ts, but how far they were engaged I b ave
not yet learned. I will ob' ain full particulars in time for

CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
MANSLAUGHTER.
Charlotte Jackson was indicted for feloniously killing
and slaying her infant child.
From the evidenee it appeared that the prisoner was the
wife of a seaman, receiving £2 ss. a month from the em-
ployers of her husband, who was at sea, and the deceased
was her infant child. She at first used to treat the infant
with apparent kindness, but eventually she became ad-
dicted to drinking, and consequently neglected the child
very much, frequently going out and leaving it for hours
without any nourishment. One day the landlady of the
house in which the prisoner resided heard the child crying
very much, and the mother being absent, she went into
the room and there found the child lying on the
bed entirely naked and apparently in a starving state from
want of food, The prisoner on her return was given into
custody, and the unfortunate child was taken to the union
in a dying state. The surgeon administered restoratives
but without effect, and the child died, in his opinion, from
starvation.

131 i

The jury found the prisoner guilty.
Baron Martin in passing sentence, dwelt on tho unnatu-
ral cruelty of tho prisoner, and sentenced her to 12 months'
imprisonment.
