()RSHIP S MEET.

Thomas White, a weaver, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Hammill, charged with cutting and
wounding a young woman named Sarah Bayes.
The complainant, who exhibited a severe gash
across her nose, stated, that while engaged that
morning at a loom at the hou-e of the prisoner's
wife's father, the prisoner entered the workshop in an
excited manner, and accused her of having slandered
him. She denied that she had done so, and attempted
to go on with her work, when the prisoner advanced
to her in a threatening manner, shook his fist in her
face, and exclaiming, "You -, I'll give it you
now," struck her such a terrible blow in the face
that she was felled to the ground, and whilst lying
there wrenched a pair of shears used in the business
out of her hand, and struck her so violently across
the face with the blades of them that the blood
poured from the wound in profusion. The blow was
so severe that she was completely stunned by it, and
upon recovering her senses she found the prisoner
had left the house, having previously flung the shears
down beside her.
The prisoner accused the complainant of threaten-
ing him with the shears before he had struck her, but
she positively denied having done so, and he was
there upon remanded for a week, the magistrate con
senting to accept substantial bail for his future ap
pearance, if he could procure it.
dl A

enormous chimney has been erected for the
Counterslip Sugar Works, Bristol. According to the
newspapers, and which our own observation of the work
in progress leads us to believe correct, the foundation of
the stack is about 25 feet square, with piles driven to a
depth of 20 to 25 feet from the level of the ground, the
5 feet nearest the surface being a bed of concrete, about
23 feet square. The diameter of the stack at the bottom
is 20 feet; and it tapers gently to a height of over
200 feet, the diameter at its summit being 4 feet 8
inches. In the construction of the stack 220.000 bricks
were used, and the entire weight of the mass on the
piles is 580 tons. " With such almost unprecedented
nicety," adds our authority, "has the stack been con-
structed, that the final trial with the plumb did
not show a deviation of an eighth of an inch
from the true perpendicular." It may be useful,
however, to add to this account a notice of the circum-
stance that this is the second time the chimney has
been put up; the work failed on the first occasion
before it was quite finished, and was taken down, of
course, at no small cost. This disastrious accident was
ascribed, we believe, mainly to the prevalence of wind
and rain from one quarter; we should ourselves rather
attribute it to the fact that no architect was employed.—
The Builder.
AN OLD OFFENDER.—At the Edinburgh High
Court of Justiciary, on Tuesday, Mary Donochue, or
Murphy, pleaded guilty to the crime of theft, and having
been nine times previously convicted, she was sentenced
to seven years' tranwortation.
Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from
the Colonial-office for the Governor of. Canada, and
also for the Governors of the other North American
colonies,

37s 6d, middling to fine brown 33s to 355, ordinary and

rates. The private operations i❑ Foreign Sugar for the
week are confined to 3,000 bags of brown Pernambuco,
chiefly at 17s 6d per cwt.
MOLASSES —The market remains firm for West India;
supplies are also small, and purchases to a fair extent
have been made at from 15s 6d to 18s 6d per cwt. for
low to fine. Deliveries are much larger than in the
former year up to tlis time. Of Bengal Treacle sales
have been made at 153 to 15s 6d, and there is firmness
on the part of holders.

home use and export, and prices are still on the advance.

have been induced to operate with more freedom. At

kind at from 39s to 455, and grey 38s to 403 per cwt.
Foreign is still only in limited demand, and there are
sellers rrono 26, to 27s per cwt. For auction 300 bags

ance, and purchases to a fair extent have been made this

rates, still the demand is not better, town
and country dealers continuing to operate with
caution. For low to good ord Congou the rate s
asked are Bid to 9d, mixed blackish leaf 9d to lOid,
blackish leaf lld to is Ofd, ditto strong is Id to is 2d,

ready sale at from is 3d to Is 7d, and the market is
firm.

RlCE.—There has been an increase in the supply o
East India at market this week, more especially of the
inferior descriptions; shippers have operated with
reluctance, and only small parcels have been taken
for home trade purposes. On the part of some
holders a desire has been shown to sell at rather
lower rates. At public sale the quantity offered has
amounted to 6,967 bags, about half of which found pur-
chasers; Madras, good and fine pinkey white at 8s 61 to
9s 61, middling red ordinary pearl barley 7s to 7s 61,

enumerating. Cleaned Rice continues in fair demand.

Carolina 22s to 26s per cwt.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
NEWBURY, Nov B.—Our supply of wheat is only
moderate; the humidity of the atmosphere has rather
affected the condition. The best lots of both new and
old wheat realized about is per quarter advance, and
other descriptions are a better sale, at fully the rates of
last week. Barley a large supply, and, in the absence
of any distant buyers, exceedingly dull sale, at barely
stationary prices; in many instances, to effect sales, lower
prices were submitted to. Beans, Peas, and Oats,
moderate supply; but more than sufficient for the demand,
sales proceeding very slowly at about late rates.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 9.—At our C )rn Exchange this
morning good qualities of Irish new Wheat brought an
advance of is per bushel on the price of Tuesday. There
was no alteration in foreign Wheat, either old or new,
with a steady sale. Choice brands of American Flour
.
still command full prices, but Irish manufacture s diffi-
cult to move. Oats and Oatmeal were both fair re-
quest. Barley, Beans, and Peas, were without change in
value. The demand for Indian Corn is still very slack,
and the value was considered 6d per quarter worse than
on Tuesday.
EXETER, Nov. 9.—Cattle Market—The supply to-
day has been moderate, but the demand has been much
brisker, especially for sheep, than has been the case for
a considerable period. The price, however, has not
much varied, although there seems a fair prospect of live
stock generally becoming of more worth. The quality
of the fat bullocks was nothing extraordinary, but they
sold freely at 73 to 8s 6d per score. Barreners sold at
about 4s Gd to 5s per score; cows and calves, 8/ to 121
each. The sheep pens were soon emptied, nearly every-
thing driven in having been sold. Fat ewes must be
quoted at 4d to 4d, and wethers 4id to 5d per lb.
Store sheep also quickly changed hands, but we cannot
say at a much higher rate than last week. There
was a good supply of store pigs with a fair demand.
Pork Carcases—Although the supply was moderate, and
something less than last week; there wag a further dimi-
nution in prices. ''or the best pork, 78 per Dore wo

made, but good meat was sold at 6s 6d, an d pigs of a
more o:dinary description, at 6s per score. Pannier—
Turke3s, 4.4 6d to 6s each; geese, 3s 6cl to 6s each;
ducks, 3s 6d to 4s 6(1 per couple; fowls, 2s 6,1 to 4s
ditto; partridges, 2s 6,1 to 3s pf.r brace; pheasants, 5s
to 6s ditto; woodcocks, 4s to 43 6d ditto; hares, 2s 6d
each; rabbits, 10d di.to ; roasters, 3s 6kii. to 5s ditto;
butter, lld to is per lb; ego, twelve for ls; potatoes,
8d pFr :core; turnips, 3d to 4d ditto; onion:},7llls for
6d. Corn Exchange—One &Clock—The market for all
descriptions of grain is pretty rear the same' as that of
last week. Ordinury samples of English 'Nip-at have
fetched 53 per bushel, but for very good quality, and
warranted as to weight, 5s 3d to 53 6d per bushel have
been obtained. Scarcely anything is doing in foreign.
Our own wheats being considerably cheaper than the
importer can sell for, without submitting to a ruinous
sacrifice—the nominal quotation is good red 42s per
quirter; and white, 46s 601b3 to the bushel. Barley, 3s
to 3s 6(.1 for malting samples. Oats, 2s to 2s 2d per
bushel. Fine Flour, 30s to 32s sack.

WAKEFIELD, Nov. 9.—The supplies are less than
for the past few weeks, but yet good. The continued
downward tendency in wheat is checked, and the finest
samples are rather higher than on this day week, whilst
other qualities are taken slowly at late prices. Good
barley is saleable at a slight reduction in value, and
ordinary dvscriptions go off slowly at a decline of Is
per quarter. Oats bring their previous value, and shel-
ling fid per load cheaper. In beans and other articles
no change. •
