State of Trade.

CARDIFF, 6th.—Complaints are still made that
orders are coming in slowly for steam coal, and some
of the principal merchants declare that such con"
tinued dulness has not been experienced for several
years. There is a falling off in the demand for the
Continent, as a rule, about this period of the year, 831 d
the dulness is thus to a great extent accounted for,
but it is expected that before long orders will flow in
as usual. Welsh coal is in demand for shipment at
Birkenhead, and this, coupled with the inland in-
quiry, keeps the collieries in fair employ. Quota
tions are maintained, although not with such firmge'
as a month ago. There is a considerable- coasting
business doing in house coal. Penarth dock has been
opened, which it is believed will be the means °f
giving a decided impetus to the coal trade owing to
i t
the increased dock facilities offered. The iron market
shows increased firmness, and the nominal cln
..
tations have advanced 2s. 6d. to ss. per ton. Pi:

A singular fact in natural history has just been
observed on the manor of Lavesore, near Decize
(Nievre). In the same nest were found eleven eggs of a
grey partridge and three of a red one. The nest was
closely watched, and after the 14 eggs had been hatched,
the red partridge, the one with three young ones only, led
the whole band. It is thought that the two mothers had
fought for the possession of the brood,

MALDON,

Mr. G. M. W. Peacocko, the Conservative sitting mem-
ber for this borough, has issued an address, in which he ex-
presses his intention to continue to support " the principles
of independent Conservatism." Mr. Peacocke adds :
" In a constitution like ours it is always difficult to recon-
cile the aspirations of the future with the traditions of the
past ; and I believe that the Minister best deserves the
name of statesman who the best fashions progress after
the image of the Constitution. While resisting the supre-
macy of unrestricted democracy, I have always supported
every measure which I thought conducive to the well-
being and happiness of the working classes, whose prospe-
rity, in my opinion, should be one of the chief aims of all
legislation. These principles I will again endeavour to
maintain; and the two great principles which I desire to
assert are thoso of safety for property and prosperity for
the people."

WILFUL DAMAGE.—Arthur Glove; a boy about nine
years of age, was charged with wilfully damaging some
potatoes, belonging to a porter on the Brighton Railway.
Robert Lilley, complainant, said he was allowed by the
company a plot of ground on the site of the embankment
near the railway bridge over the Thames at Battersea. He
had gone to some expense last year in sowing potatoes,
and they had been oonsidorably damaged by boys. A
fortnight ago six rows were pulled up. He watched the
plot to find an offender. The embankment was enclosed
by a sift. fence, and the prisoner must have climbed over
it. Witness saw him yesterday evening pulling up whole
rows of the potatoes, and seized him. Two he found in his
pocket, and a third he threw away, at the same time deny-
ing that he had done the damage, although the wood was
lying at his feet. Ho was taken irtto custody, and
although another patato was found he still pdrsisted that
he had not touched them.

The boy said, when asked by the magistrate, that he
found the potatoes at Battersea.
Tho parents said he would not go to sohocl, and they
could do nothing with him. Ile used to be a good boy, but
had got into bad company.
Prisoner said ho was looking for his shoe, and it was
stated that he only had one on.
Mr. Arnold said he should have sent him to a reforma-
tory had he been there before, but as this was his first
offence he should fine him 35., and 2s. the value of the
potatoes, or ho would be committed for seven days.
Ho was committed.

EXTRAORDINARY BltOlitlt'S CIIARGES.-Mr. Branwell,
solicitor of Basinghall-street, applied to Mr. Partridge for
a summons against a broker named Thompson for making
excessive charges, Ititich the solicitor said were as extra-
ordinary as they were amusing.
Mr. Branwell framed his application under the Ist and
2d sections of the Act 57th Geo. M., cap. 93. A gentle-
man darned Duman), the owner of house property, em-
ployed a broker named Thomson to recover three sums of
155., £3 10s., and £2 ss. 61, from three tenants for rent
in arrear. The broker had to recover the money by dis-
tress and seizure of the goods, and charged the tenants
the expenses of each seizure, which wore paid, but in
addition to this ho charged Mr. Durnam £3 145., and
among those charges were 10s. for r3freshments, 15s. for
the services of six men, and only three were actually em-
ployed ; van and man, 55.; police, 45.; and other items.
All the charges were decidedly illegal, and tiro broker had
no right to make them.
Mr. Partridge doubted whether he had power to inter-
fere in a case between landlord and broker,
Mr. Branwell said the words "landlord and party or par-
ties aggrieved " were mentioned in the Act of Parliament,
and the magistrate most decidedly had jurisdiction, The

DITMFRIESSIITRE.

Major Walker, of Crawfordton, has come forward as a
candidate on moderate Conservative principles, for the re-
presentation of this county, shortly to be rendered vacant
by the retirement of Mr. Hope Johnstone. In his address
Major Walker says
" While I should see with pleasure a calm and temperate
inquiry as to the propriety and advantage of enlarging the
electoral basis by the admission of those whose industry,
providence, and superior education may have proved thorn
worthy of the franchise, I am utterly opposed to any
sweeping change which would overwhelm by mere force
of numbers the existing constituencies, and would make
over to inexperienced hands the safe keeping of our na-
tional interests and honour. With regard to our foreign
relations, I should view with equal disfavour an unvarying
policy either of absolute non-intervention or of meddle-
some and petulant interference ; each difficulty as it arises
should be met with the forbearance but also with the
dignity becoming a great nation. And while I should wish
to see the whole influence of our country on all possible
occasions thrown into the scale of peace, yet holding
as I do that what from a Power strong in its own spirit
and resources might be a dignified remonstrance becomes
almost an impertinence from a Power which proclaims it-
self oither unwilling or unable in any extremity whatever
to resort to other and stronger arguments than words, I
should view with regret any proposal to impair from
merely economical motives the efficiency of our army and
navy, or of those auxiliary services which, essentially de-
fensive in their character, tend to guarantee our national
security without exciting the distrust of our neighbours.
In conclusion, I shall only say that I should consider it a
special duty to devote myself to all questions of Scottish as
distinguished from Imperial interest, and that every mea-
sure calculated to promote the welfare of our own county
will always find in me an active and a zealous advocate."

THE DERBY TRAFFIC.—The total number ,of
passengers carried to and fro on the Brighton Com-
pany's new Epsom line on the Derby Day was 52,498 ; the
number by the London and South Western was somewhat
less. Arrangements were made for running trains direct
from the London and North Western and Great Western to
the new Epsom Station, and accommodation was provided

selves of this through route.

HAMPSHIRE.

The canvass in favour of Sir Henry St. John Ilildmay, of
Dogmersfield-park, the Liberal candidate for the representa-
tion of the Northern Division of the county, proceeds satis-
factorily, and the opinion strengthens that one of the seats,
now both held by Conservative members—viz., Mr. W.
W. B. Beach and Mr. G. Sclater-Booth—and who offer
themselves for re-election, will have to be surrendered. In
the Southern Division no movement of a public character
has yet been made. The sitting members are Sir J. C. Jer-
voiee (Liberal) and the Hon. R. IL Dutton (Conservative),
but neither gentleman has yet issued any address.

ILLNESS OF Da. LUSHINGTON.—The learned
judge had appointed to sit yesterday and hear motions,
but on the opening of the court it was announced that his
lordship was unable through indisposition to take his seat.
It appears that his lordship has been suffering for some
time, and that a few days since he had a fall, added to
which a troublesome cough has confined him to his room.

A GOOD SHOT.—A few days ago Mr. Garnett
Ronson, of Little Corby, shot an extraordinary
match, for a wager, at that place. The wager was that he
was to fire at and hit nine out of ten oranges thrown up in
the air. The conditions were that the gun and oranges
were to be laid upon the ground, and the shooter had at
each shot to pick an orange, throw it up, stoop for his gun,
and fire at the orange in its descent. Mr. -Ronson not only
succeeded in winning the wager, but hit 11 oranges in suc-
cession.—Manchester Guardian.

KNARESBOROUGH.—A member of the legal pro-
fession and of a family long resident in the town is under-
stood to be privately canvassing the electors with a view
to offer himself as a candidate in the Liberal interest at the
forthcoming election. The preponderating strength, how-
ever, of the Conservative party, renders this attempt upon
theindependence of the borough and the seat of the present
members, Mr. Woodd and Mr. Collins, hopeless.

chester Quarter Sessions, the Mayor of Manchester
addressed him, expressing regret that this was the last
occasion of his presiding, and assuring him of the respect
he would cerry with him of his fellow-citizens into retire-
ment. Mr. J. P. Cobbett spoke to the same effect on behalf
of the bar. Mr. Armstrong, in reply, assured them that,
after holding the office of Recorder for 26 years, the thought
that he carried with him their good opinion would bo
source of pleasing satisfaction to him in the evening of his
days.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON

relation to each class ; but until the report is ratified we

divided into three classes; no one appointed to the lowest
to receive less than 21s. per week; the highest of the three
classos;taonhdaNt-hee2m7sax. Gidm.un,

report will be brought up for the final decision of the
Court.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN
AT ANTWERP.—A mysterious affair is now engross-
ing the attention of the population of Antwerp. On the
16th ult. a man of middle ago, named Risk Allah Bey,
colonel in the Turkish army, accompanied by a young man
about twenty, whose name was Readly, said to be his
nephew, alighted at his hotel in that city. Risk paid all
the hotel expenses, and was frequently accompanied in his
walks by the young man. On Thursday morning the
latter was found dead in his bed, with two holes behind
the ears made by small shot. A gun was on the floor in
front of the bed, and on the table was a note to the follow-
ing effect :—" I have killdd myself voluntarily." The
young man lay in bed covered over with the clothes as
though asleep. After the bed had been photographed, the
body was removed to the hospital for a post-mortem exa-
mination. Meanwhile Risk Allah Bey has been arrested.

THAMES.

DESERTION OF LASCARS.—Omer Ali and Moballuk, Asiatic
seamen, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
deserting from the ship T. A. Gibb, now lying at the
Blackwall-buoy.
Captain Milne, the master of the T. A. Gibb, said she
was a new ship, and that the prisoners signed the ship's
articles on the 9th of February last, and proceeded to Lon-
don, whore they joined the ship, which brought a cargo of
coals to London. The prisoners deserted a fortnight ago,
and were apprehended yesterday in a place of bad repute
called Bluegate-fields, Shadwell. He now wanted their
services, as the ship was ready to proceed to sea on her
voyage to Calcutta.

Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said he had been consulted
by some of the crew, who complained of a deviation from
the original agreement. The ship was to touch at Graves-
end only, and sail from there to Calcutta.

Mr. Partridge read the agreement. The intended voyage
was stated to be from the Tyne to London and Calcutta.
Mr. Charles Young—Then I have been misinformed.
The prisoners, through the medium of Mr. Salter, of the
Strangers' Home in Limehouse, said they did not want to
go in the ship to the East. They had a bad serang (boat-
swain) and were afraid of him.
Captain Milne said the serang was a very good man.
The tindal (boatswain's mate) had deserted from the vessel
and taken seven of his gang with him. The prisoners had
been well treated and allowed to have their mealsand sleep
in the Strangers' Home for Asiatic seamen, which was
much warmer than the ship.

Mr. Salter said it was unfortunate that the two Lascars
had been so long on shore since they signed the ship's
articles. They had spent all the monoy advanced to them,
sold their clothing, and were reduced to a state of utter
destitution by their own misconduct.
Mr. Partridge said the prisoners must retain to their
ship and do their duty. If they did not he should commit
them to prison.
The prisoners said they would not return to tha ship.
Mr. Partridge—Then I must send them to the House of
Correction. Take them into the gaoler's room and talk to
them, Mr. Salter.
A few minutes afterwards Mr. Salter announced that the
Lascars would return to the ship, and the magistrate dis-
charged them, and directed that an officer should see them
on board.
