THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' LIFEBOATS.--
The commercial travellers in the United Kingdom,
but principally those of the Midland Counties and the North.
of England, have liberally contributed the cost of two life-
boats to the National Lifeboat Institution. One of the boats
is stationed atPiel, on the coast of LanCashire,and the other
boat is being forwarded to Castletown, in the Isle of Man.
The boats are respectively named the " Commercial Trit-
eller, Nos. 1 and• 2." Mr. R. Affieck, of Manchester, Mr.
W. Bishop, of Boston, and other friends, have been inde-
fatigable in their kind exertions to promote the collection
of this lifeboat fund. By .desire of the commercial travel-
lers their second lifeboat was taken to Sheffield on the way
to her station that they might have the opportunity of
seeing her ; and a public demonstration took place
at Sheffield with the boat yesterday (Monday.)
The day being fine, thousands of people turned out
to see the "boat of mercy." She is a fine craft, 32ft. long
and 7ft. wide, carries ten oars, double banked, and is built
of mahogany. The ceremony of presenting the lifeboat to
the institution took place in the Botanical Gardens, tho
use of which was generously granted by the proprietors•
The Rev. Canon Sale, •vicar of Sheffield, pronounced
benediction on the boat, and Miss Jessop, the daughter of
the mayor, performed the ceremony of naming the boat.
After this part of the work had been gone through 1r•
Bishop, on behalf of the donors, formally made the presen-
tation of the boat to the National Lifeboat Institution. It
should be added that a free conveyance was readily granted
to the boat and carriage by the Midland Railway CompanY
and by the continuous line of railway companies to Liver-
pool, whence they were conveyed on similar liberal terms
by the Isle of Man Royal Mail Steam Steam Packet Com-
pany to Castletown.

TRADE OF CARDIFF.—During the nine months
ending September 30 last the exports of coal from
this port reached 1,081,418 tons ; iron, 119,104 tons ; pre-
served coal, 31,150 tons ; and coke, 6,844 tons. In 1864
the exports for the same period were 1,090,499 tons of coal,
and 127,351 tons of iron; and in 1863, 1,067,583 tons of
coal, and 136,060 tons of iron. The decrease this year, 8.0
compared with 1864, is mainly attributable to the falling
off in Up continental demand during the summer months,
and the competition of other ports has also diverted a little
of the Aberdare coal traffic. The decrease in the exports
of iron was caused by the reduced shipments to America,
and a large quantity of iron that was formerly sent out
from the local ports to various foreign markets is now for-
warded to Liverpool and London for shipment.

SIIOCKING CASE OF SUICIDE.—On Saturday morn-
ing Mr. Banks, a newsagent of Lewes, was passing
the door of a house occupied by a man named Brickmau,
when Mrs. Brickman rushed out and told him that her
husband had hung himself. Ascertaining from the women
that she had cut her husband down, Mr. Banks fetched Dr"
Murrell, and on arriving at the house he found Brickmen
lying on the floor of his bedroom. On an examination
being made life was found to be extinct. At the inquest in
the evening it appeared from the evidence that the de-
ceased had lately given way to despondency, in consequence
of his fears that he should be ruined because of having taken
larger and more expensive premises. The jury gave
the
verdict that deceased hung himself while in a state of -
sound mind. un

reasons, is now an applicant for a similar position on another
road. General Humphreys has within a few days been

THE CONFESSION OF THE WIGAN MURDER.--;

Wigan, in January, 1863, was taken before the county. 4

THE STATE OF THE MONEY MARKET.—The
IWor
nion of the best-informed judges is that money 1,
not be cheaper for a little while, and we have little d4o vo
that this opinion is well founded. It is certain that 50°,,,„'
money will be sent to Egypt, and some will probably P;
sent to India also. How much it is not possible to Vio
but still some fair amount worthy of consideration. hat
holders of silver ask long prices for it, and so shoW t, „
they believe, as we do, that the demand will be °I I,l°
portance. It is true that tho means of supplying this '0
mand are augmenting. Money is about to come in fco6'ej,
Ireland, and also from the country. After a brief

It is impossible to predict with certainty whether or
