MURDER OF CAPTAIN GRANT.—By accounts recently
received in this country from Texas, it appears that
Captain Grant, formerly of Stourbridge, in Worcester-
shire was assassinated at Houston, on the 28th of
December last, in an electioneering brawl. The precise
particulars of the affair are not stated, but the murderer
thatwas t

will soon be received in London. Captain Grant was in
the 39th year of his age, and served with distinction
during the greater portion of the Carlist war in Cata-
lonia, under the Conde de Espana and General Cabrera.
In the action fought before Guisona, on the 11th of
June, 1837, the battalion to which he belonged, number-
ing 800 men, and formed of deserters from the French
Algerine Legion, was utterly destroyed ; he escaped
with seven lance wounds, the marks of which he bore to
the day of his death. At the siege of Ripoll, soon after
the affair of Guisona, Captain Grant led the storming

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.
Sole Lessee and Manager, Mr. W. Cooke.
Last Five Nights of the present Season.

The increasing popularity of the National. Spectacle of the Battle cf
Waterloo, which has n qv completed its 72d night, has by far ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Lessee, who, anxious
to meet the public taste, has increased the attraction of that re-
nowned Spectacle of a Splendid Military Brass Band. In an-
nouncing the Grand Production for Five Nights more (when it
must be withdrawn to make room for the New Classical Burlesque,
conjointly with the Hippo Drama of Life on the Turf; which has
arrived at its 100th night—a fact unprecedented), he feels confi-
dent that he is only meeting the wish of his patrons, who nightly
dock to this popular Establishment to witness their representa-
tion. To afford every possible Novelty, Mr. W. Cooke's Scenes in
the Circle are entirely changed each week. The return of Miss
EMILY COOKE from her Continental Tour was hailed with de-
monstrations of delight. She will repeat her matchless perform-
anee every evening. N.B.—Due Notice will be given of the
First Appearance in London of Miss KATE COOKE. The long-
pro-nised Classical Burlesque will be produced on SATURDAY,

Notwithstanding the advance in the rates of discount,
and that the imports of wool have been on a liberal scale,
the demand is very firm, and prices are well supported.
Last week's arrivals were 298 bales from Buenos Ayres,
1,009 from Geelong, 100 from Hamburgh, 259 from Moga-
dore, 4 from Jamaica, 69 from Trieste, 1,196 from Portland

EXTENSIVE MERCANTILE FAILURE.

Mr. Oppenheim, of Broad street, merchant, has de-
clared himself bankrupt, and the requisite proceedings
have been taken. He states his debts at about 20,0001.,
and assets in England 5,0001. or 6,0001., but he antici-
pates that if all the property be realised at fair value, he
will pay 205., and have a surplus.

THE LAST MAIL TO A.USTRALIA.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Indus,
Captain John Soy, sailed this morning for Gibraltar,
Malta, and Alexandria, taking out the East India,
China, and Mediterranean mails, also the regular bi-
monthly mail for the Australian colonies, to be con-
veyed via Singapore, by one of the company's steam-
ships to King George's Sound, Adelaide, Port
Philip, and Sydney. This mail is a very heavy one,
comprising no less than 380 boxes, of which 260 are for
Australia, the whole occupying a bulk equal to 45 tons
measurement, or 1,800 cubic feet. The overland route
being now the most certain and speedy method of
communicating with Australia, the principal corre-
spondence is despatched by this means. We not long
since remarked upon the fact that, last year, the
Peninsular and Oriental Company earned, in postage,
nearly the amount of their annual subsidy for con-
veying the mails. Present appearances seem to indicate
that the system is now almost a self-supporting one,
and that if the mails continue to augment in num-
ber and in bulk the Post-office will speedily be re-
ceiving as postal revenue a sum far in advance of
the annual payment to this company. Besides the
mail embarked at Southampton the Indus will receive
at Malta the Marseilles portion, and when the Aus-
tralian packet starts from Singapore, the Indian corres-
pondence will, no doubt, swell. the mail she will have
to carry to nearly 350 boxes. The Indus taken out
about 80 passengers, only four of whom are for Aus-
tralia. She has a full gen eral cargo and an immense freight
.of specie and jewellery for different parts of India,
the total value of the whole being 455,7281. sterling
and the weight about 60 tons. The freight alone of this
t specie yields the Peninsular and Oriental Company
I nearly 10,0001.

Last Five Nights of the present Season.

The increasing popularity of the National Spectacle of the Battle of
Waterloo, which has n w completed its 72d night, has by far ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Lessee, who, anxious
to meet the public taste, has increased the attraction of that re-
nowned Spectacle of a Solendid Military trass I;and. In an-
nouncing the Grand Production for Five Nights more (when it
must be withdrawn to make room for the New Classical Burlesque,
conjointly with the Hippo Drama of Life on the Turf, which has
arrived at its 100th night—a fact unprecedented), he feels confi-
dent that he is only meeting the wish of his patrons, who nightly
flock to this popular Establishment to witness their represent
tion. To afford every possible Novelty, Mr. W. Cooke's Scenes in
the Circle are entirely changed each Week. The return of Miss
EMILY COOKE from her Continental-Tour was hailed with de-
monstrations of delight. She will repeat her matchless perform-

risen from $3,000,000 to $1,000,000, while the
population as well as taxable property has increased
in almost the same ratio in those cities and those
counties throughout the west where railroads have
been built.

11. Another point of vast magnitude should not
be overlooked. Nearly all the roads that have
been constructed in the west, and those now in
course of construction, have been begun within the
last five or ten years. A large portion of these
roads have paid from 7 to 10 per cent. before they
were finished. This may be said of those which
strike off into dense forests, as well as of those
which lead from city to city, and for a reason that
will be obvious to every reader. A road can be
built nowhere in the west that does not afford fa-
cilities to agriculturists for taking their produce to
market. To show by a mathematical demonstra-
tion the whole philosophy of the subject, after a
remark or two, I will give you a table exhibiting
the increased value of agricultural products in those
districts where there is railway access to markets,
and in those districts where there are none. We
have no great interior markets. We are obliged
to find the seacoast, to which our manufactures of
almost every description are mainly confined ; and
from which, of course, all our exportations to
foreign countries are made. It has been proved

THE LORD ADVOCATE AND THE ELECTORS OF LEITH.
- The Lord Advocate met the electors of Leith on
Thursday afternoon; and in the course of a long address,
passed in review the leading measures of the late sessi, n.
He vindicated Parliament from the charge of neglect to
Scotch measures, showing that all of them e hich he had
undertaken had been passed into law. The rest of the
speech of the honourable and learned gentleman chiefly
consisted of an analysis of the acts of the late Parlia-
ment, so far as they had any special hearing on Scot-
; land. At the conclusion of his address, a vote of confi•
.BER. ' dente in the Lord Advocate was unanimously passed.

STATE OF THE TRADE.

BRITISH RAILWAYS.

Notwithstanding the large numbers of beasts in the
market, the demand for all breeds, owing to the favourable
state of the weather for slaughtering, and the large at-
tendance of butchers, was steady, at an advance in the
prices obtained on Monday last of 24 per 81bs. A few Scots
realised 5s per 81bs, but the top general figure for beef was
4s 10d per 81bs.
From the northern grazing districts, about 2,500 beasts
came to hand. The arrivals from the westward amounted
to 1,400 head—from Norfolk and other parts of England,
750 do. ; and from Scotland, 540 Scots.
The supply of sheep was seasonably good. For most
breeds, we had a;;steady, though by no means brisk in-
quiry, at full quotations. The best old Down were worth
5s 24 per 81bs.

-
There was less activity in the veal trade than on Friday.
However, the prices of Monday last were maintained.
About an average business was transacted in pigs, at last
week's currency.

.ASTLErs AMPHIThEATRE.

There has just been added to the numerous attractions
at Astley's two wonderful performing elephants, who
out-do every other member of their species hitherto ex-
hibited to the public. The great bulk and enormous
weight of the elephant is such that a person would fancy
it were as easy to turn a house topsey-turvy as make
him stand upon his head, but no less a feat than this is
nightly accomplished with wonderful facility by one of
these extraordinary and highly-trained animals of Mr.
Cooke. Their other achievements are also both unpre-
cedented and amusing. For instance, one balances him-
self on his hind legs, and dangles his fore-feet about in
the air like a dancing dog. Then one elephant slightly
elevates his ponderous body by resting his legs on a
pedestal, while the other crawls under his extended form.
Other feats show the elephant diminishing in other ways
the number of legs he requires for his support, or crowd-
ing his four feet together within the dimensions of so
small a circle that his posture had all the strange pecu-
liarity of an inverted and well-balanced cone. These
elephants will, no doubt, prove to be among the most
successful of the novelties brought forward at this
Christmas period for the amusement of the juvenile
classes, and a splendid harvest for the enterprising lessee
and manager ere the holidays close may confidently be
predicted.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)

MANCHESTER, Dec. 9.—Since Tuesday, some further
indications of improvement are observable. There is
less business in hand for India, because the contracts en-
tered into leave less to be done. But the Greeks are
purchasing to a moderate extent ; and some other classes
of buyers are now inquiring, and showing more
(imposition
to operate both in yarns and goods. Altogether, there ap
pears to be an increase of transactions ; but this is not
general. The German merchants are now held back by
a fresh cause, via., the commencement of frost in the
continental rivers. For China. of course, nothing is to
be done. The home houses show reat timidity and

tendency. Low and middling kinds are held at full quo-
tations, and a few parcels have sold for shipment to Bel-
gium. Foreign and Colonial wools are dull, but not
cheaper. Last week's imports were 472 bales from Moreton
Bay, 201 from the Mauritius, 200 from Bombay, 31 from
Monte Video, and 11 from Hambro'.

STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

. I(Froe the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)
LEEDS, Dec. 9.—We have no change to report in the
state of the woollen markets this week ; there continues
to be a fair steady business done in the cloth halls.
BRADFORD, Dec. B.—The supply of bright-haire4
wools is limited, commanding higher prices than they
did a month ago. There is an unusual degree of firmness.
in prices in the country, and a desire to lower, seeing
that it is difficult to replace. Spinners have been long
absent from the market ; the prices sought deterring
them from purchasing, except to assort up their stocks.
HALIFAX, Dec. 3.—The piece and yarn trade are not
generally any better than we have latterly reported ;
middle wethers have realised 16d. per lb. Common
arilsnois and broke together are worth 121 d to 12,7-d. ; they
carce.
HUDDERSFIELD, Dec. 6.—We have had a very quiet
