AMERICAN AFFAIRS
NEW YORK, OCT. 31.—We are in the midst of preli-
minary arrangements for a strongly contested election in
this state. On Tuesday, the 3d of November, the con-
test is to be decided. Both parties profess to be san-
guine. Ten days since I considered the chance of the
Locofoco candidate for Governor decidedly the best, and
I so stated in my letter to you; but I have changed my
opinion as to the result with the change of the times. I
now believe that the Whig candidate, John Young, has
the best chance of success, and that he will be elected
Governor of the State of New York.
The Governor, however, is not the great prize for
which the political parties are contending. The ques-
tion—and the important question—is, who shall have a
majority of the Members of Congress from this state ?
Because, in the next House of Representatives the tariff
will be ander consideration, and the men to be elected
next Tuesday will have to vote on that question. Be-
sides, from the convulsed state of parties, it is highly
probable that the next President will be designated by
the Congress now being chosen.
If no one candidate for the office of President of the
United States has a majority of all the electoral votes
given, then the House of Representatives, in Congress
assembled, shall proceed to elect a President, voting by
states; that is to say, each state in the union shall have
one vote, and no more. A majority of the representa-
tives in each state shall decide the vote of the state.
Thus, you perceive, Delaware, with only one representa-
tive,-has the same power in deciding this question that
New York has with her thirty-four representatives. Of
the thirty-four representatives, I think the Whigs will
have a majority.
About one-third of the whole number of states have
already chosen their members of Congress. In not one of
the states who have voted has the Locofoco party gained
a member; but, on the contrary, in the ten states which
have elected, while the Whigs have gained ten, their
opponents have lost fourteen members, viz.:—
In the present Congress the Locofocos have, from
Maine, Vermont, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Georgia,
.iouth Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, 55
members,' and the Whigs. 27 member ,e • while in the
same States (the elections hivitig been-tele/70m Loco
locos have 41 members and the Whigs 37. So far as
the elections have progressed these are the results.
The public journals which accompany this letter will
afford you ample details of the movement of the Ameri-
can army. Since my last letter nothing of any importance
has been heard from General Taylor ; but, as the Pre-
sident has ordered him to disannul the armistice which
he entered into with General Ampudia, we may shortly
anticipate some important movement in that quarter.
During the last 48 hours our city has been filled with
rumours, on which little reliance can be placed. It is
said that General Santa Anna had arrived at Saltillo
with an army of 13,000 troops, which, added to those
under Ampudia, would embody a force exceeding 20,000
men. No confidence, or very little, is placed in this
rumour. General Santa Anna may have left the city
of Mexico, but not with an effective force of more than
4,000 bayonets.
A Mexican brig of war, while lying in the port of
Mazatlan, was captured by five launches from the Ame-
rican sloop of war Warren. As soon as the Mexicans
discovered that they were to be attacked, they aban-
doned their vessel and fled.
Oa the meeting of Congress early in December, it is
generally supposed that the tariff of 1846 will be as-
saulted. If it is, there is not the least prospect of suc-
cess. And every attempt to procure a repeal, or a
material alteration, will be defeated. Even if a Bill for
such purpose should pass the House, which is highly
improbable, it would be lust in the Senate. The tariff
question may therefore be considered settled for at least
18 months to come:
Congress at their last session authorised the calling
out 50,000 volunteers to invade Mexico. Subsequently
25,000 were deemed ample, and their services to that
extent were accepted. After the three actions that have
been fought, the last the capture of Monterey, the im-
pression became general that the remaining 25,000
would be forthwith ordered into service. We are now
told, however, that no further requisition will be made
until after Congress have convened. This notification is
given demi-officially, and has excited much inquiry and
conversation in certain Administration circles. Every
citizen gives his own explanation of the case. A majo-

the object the Government has in view. I have a dif-
the Asememeriteoancoanrsmid)e. risthaaktenaodyfusrutffiheeriecnatlilyisst
dif-
ferent opinion, which I will give you.
The question recurs—What is the reason that the
President does not make a demand upon the several
states for an additional volunteer force? My reply is,
because the Government is not prepared with the neces-
sary funds to meet such an event. When the war com-
menced there was in the Treasury 12,000,000 dolls. un-
employed, with a tariff in operation producing at least
half a million of dollars per month more than all the de-
mands upon the Treasury in time of peace. In addition
to which Congress authorised the issuing 10,000,000 of
Treasury notes, bearing an interest of 6 per cent., or
10.000,000 of 6 per cent. stock. It is not yet six months
since the war expenditures commenced, and what is the
state of the Treasury? The
expended—the whole of the revenue collected since
12,000,000 of surplus is

has been contracted and remains unpaid, to meet which
he Government has a little short of 3,000,000 dolls. ;

THE MALT-STEALING CASE.
ABINGDON, SATURDAY.
This extraordinary investigation still "draws its slow
length along ;" but every day elicits fresh facts and im-
plicates additional persons, while the interest and exite-
inentconsequent upon the discovery of so systematic and
wholesale a robbery have been much enhanced within
the last few days by the arrest. of two highly respectable
brewers of Oxford, named Miller and Evans, who are
now in custody, and under examination with the other
prisoners at the justice-room, before Mr. B. Collingwood
mayor of this borough, Mr. Alderman Hyde, Mr. W. D.
Belcher, Mr. E. J. Trendell, and Mr. J. Copeland
The examinations are conducted by Mr. Frankum, the
clerk to the magistrates, and the following are the
names of the prisoners:--B eijamin Blagrove, 50, Joseph
Edney, 65, James Edney, 30, John Seymour, 45, William
Pead, 24, George Bowler, 34, Joseph Dutton, 24, John
Haezell, 23, Charles Trinder, 30, John Huggins 39,
elelyn Huggins, 40, George Heycroft, 34, -William
Hazen, 60, Richard Jones, 35, George Peck, 22, Thomas
Prior, 30, and Thomas Giles, 40, who are charged as the
stealers; and William Miller, 31, Joel Evans, 40, and
Will:am Westbrook, 34, as the receivers.
The examination, which commenced on the Ist of
October, originated in a somewhat singular manner,
:affording another proof how "strange events from little
causes spring.' Some time in September a farmer, named
Badeock, addressed Mr. Fowler, maltster, of this town,
and congratulated him on the extensive business he was
doing. Fowler replied, that he believed he had his share.
Badcock rejoined, he should think more than his share
to be at work all night, and sending malt out at three
or four o'clock in the morning. Fowler expressed his
ignorance of such a fact, when Badcock told him that
he had himself seen his horse and cart out at that early
hour, with two of his men. This circumstance caused
inquiries to be made, the result of which was that Blue
grove was identified as one of the men who had been
seen with the cart, and he was taken into custody, when
he made statements which led to the detection of other
persons, his confederates in crime, and to the exposure
of as extraordinary a case of plunder carried on without
detection for the long space of six years as was ever pre-
sented before a court of justice. Blagrove is what is
called a general dealer. Jones and Pead were confiden-
tial servants to Miss Spendlove, a wealthy lady, who
has a large malting-house and brewery ; the Edneys and
Trinder being in the employ of Mr. Fowler.
It appears that large quantities of malt, hops, and
coals, were taken from the premises and consigned to
Blagrove, who, with the assistance of the other prisoners
always managed to dispose of them, sometimes by re-
moving the property in boats down the river in the dead
of the night, taking it away in hired carts, or conveying
it to some hiding-place until opportunity occurred to
more profitably dispose of it. Blagrove purchased from
time to time the silence and assistance of his subordi-
nates by money, but it would seem did not find his chief-
tainship to be of a very enviable kind, as he was con-
tinually threatened by one or the other unless he yielded
to their pecuniary demands.
Strange and almost incredible as it may seem, Bla-
grove on several occasions absolutely had the impudence
and hardihood to sell the very property which he had
stolen at the current marketable price to the parties of
whom it had been stolen.
Upwards of forty witnesses have been examined at
great length, but the above is an outline of the case,
which is now nearly brought to a conclusion, as far as
regards the preliminary inquiry. The evidence affect-
ing Mr. Miller is chiefly his own statement, made in
the presence of the other prisoner, which is as follows:—
William Miller—l am a brewer in St. Ebbe's-street,
Oxford. I have known Blagrove since the 27th of Ja-
nuary last, when he came to my brewery and inquired
for me. I was not at home, but he showed my brewer a
sample of malt which he was selling. He called again
when I was at home, and produced some malt in a
sample bag which he said he would sell me cheap, and
that I should have five quarters for 131. I said, I thought
I had sufficient malt by me, but I would give him
121. 10s. for it. Ile said he could not take that, but
ultimately agreed to do so, saying that Mr. Evans would
give more for it, but he (Blagrove) wanted ready money.
I went with him, my man, and a horse and cart to the
Folly bridge wharf, where the malt was measured. The
first bushel was very filthy, and I said it had not been
screened at all. I said to Blagrove, " I think there is
something wrong, are you sure you are doing right in
selling me this?" He replied he was, " for he had it
from a man who owed him money, and he had to take
it in the dust, or he would not have got it at all."
The whole of the malt was about ten sacks, which was
taken on my truck to my rnalthouse in St. Aldate's,
by Jackson, my man. I paid Biagrove in gold and sil-
ver. It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when
this occurred. There was a man with Blagrove, to whom,
I think, he gave part of the money. On the 29th of
July Blagrove came to my malthouse again, and said
he had a pocket of hops and some malt he would sell
me ; would Igo and look at it ? I went with him
to the Anchor Inn, and saw the malt in the stable.
I asked how much there wa .. He said, " Five quarters
end a half, and a pocket of hops." He asked me 241.
for the lot. I refused to buy them, and went home. lie
followed me, and said, if I would buy them he would
have a few barrels of beer, as he thought he c elle get
one a customer or two in Abington. After a few words
a bargain was struck that I should have them for 211.;
Blagrove to have a barrel and a half of ale and one
barrel of strong beer, the remainder to be paid in cash.
I then went with him and my man to the Anchor, and
fetched away the malt and hops in my truck. While we
were removing Blagrove said, " Have you any silver,

and

hops home to my brewery. I gave Blagrove a cheque
on Messrs. Wootton's bank for 151. 155., and he was to
let me know when he would have the beer. He after-
wards eent word that he would take three barrels of
bthe‘e‘ h‘oVmsitlallletr
beer, which made a difference of 4s. 6d. in favour of
Blagrove, to whom I afterwards sent the beer and
4s. 6d. by Mr. Payne's waggon. This bargain was re-
duced to writing, and signed by Blagrove, on a blank
leaf of my brewing-book, and I have now a copy of it.
These were the only two transactions I had with Bla-
grove. I did not understand how long the malt and
hops had been at the Anchor, but from seeing him pay
half-a-crown for the warehouse room, I thought it had
been there some time.
The evidence implicating Evans was that of
Samuel Tyte, formerly hostler to Mr. Crozier, of the
Wheatsheaf Inn, St. Aldate's, Oxford, who remembered
Blagrove bringing malt to the Wheatsheaf, which was

put into sacks, and the empty ones taken away by Bla-
gwMraros.vEeth.
Whiteing, the carrier, sometimes brought malt there for
Evans. It was generally removed the same day. Bla-
grove brought a horse and cart there, with four sacks of
malt, about six months ago. Witness never remem-
bered hops being brought there but once, obout five years
ago. Blagrove always paid bim for his trouble. There
were never less than two sacks brought at a time. Should
think about twenty quarters had been brought there
altogether. Witness never knew any one except Mr.
Joel Evans's men take away the malt brought by
Blagrove.
John Hambidge and Richard Brooks deposed to similar
facts ; and Whiteing, the Oxford and Abingdon carrier,
proved having taken malt in sacks to the Wheatsheaf for
Blagrove and Evans.
The prisoner Blagrove questioned all the witnesses in

to-morrow. I'll give it you tidy. If you swear until you
are black in the face, you will only be a liar. I shall
stand up before the judge from morning till night, so I
tells ye."
John Hazel' deposed, that Blagrove had frequently
hired his horse and cart at a very early hour in the
morning to remove malt, which he told him on one occa-
sion came from Miss Spendlove's, but there was so much
there that it would not be missed.
It is calculated that Biagrove has plundered to the
amount of several hundred pounds.
Mr. Branner, solicitor of Oxford, made application
to admit Miller to bail, as he was prepared with sureties
to the amount of 5,000/. or 6,0001. ; but under present
circumstances the magistrates did not feel justified in
doing so,

in less than six months. -
Now, what is to be done in the next six months ? The
revenue is decreasing, while the expenditures are in-
creasing. Money must be obtained by loans. Here I
pause—the subject is too delicate for comment. I will
only add, our capitalists, in general, are unwilling to
bud money to prosecute an unneces3ary war of aggres•
sion and invasion, while they would cheerfully advance
not only millions, but hundreds of millions of dollars,
to defend their native land, and their own firesides.
This subject shall be further noticed hereafter.
I repeat what I said in my last in relation to flour.
On the arrival of the steamer it took a rise of 50 to 75
cents, per barrel, but has fallen 25 to 30 cents. per barrel.
The market has been heavy during the past week.
Flour is now 5 85-100 to 5 95-100 per barrel. We
have yet a large surplus on hand, which must be
exported.
The money-market continues steady, with a very mo
derate demand.

Ciss,LE, Nov. s.—Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of
Saxe-Altenburg, with the Princesses, their daughters,
arrived at the palace here. The Crown Prince and
Princess went to meet them as far as Lehrte, and re-
turned with them. It is said that his Majesty the King

FROM NORTH GERMANY, Nov. 4.--We hear that ne.•
gotiations have already commenced between Prussia and
Hanover, for the purpose of concluding some arrange-
ments in common respecting trade and navigation. The
President of the Board of Trade, Boerne, and Baron
von Patow, are said to be very active in these negotia-
tions, on the part of Prussia, and interest themselves in
favour of differential duties, because in their opinion
these duties can only raise the commerce of Germany to
the highest degree of prosperity. Under these circum-
stances, the commercial convention between Prussia and
England, which will shortly expire, will most probably
not be renewed on the present footing.
FRONTIERS OF GALLICIA, Nov. I.—According to the
latest accounts from Galicia, the state of things in that
country is still very unsatisfactory. It is said that four
regiments of infantry, and a battalion of jagers, will
shortly be sent tr reinforce the troops in Galicia. We
are informed from Czarnowitz, the capital of Bukowina,
that the emissaries of Panslavonism have appeared there,
but were immediately,arrested.,,They endeavoured to gain
partizans, but met with no encouragement from the
public of that country, wbo took no part in the late me-
lancholy events in Galicia, and who probably saw

OPENING OF THE TUNNEL AT
(From tohfe Carnarvone consequentH era/ d. )
upon
Our report
the opening of the railway tunnel through Penmaen
Bach will be perused with deep interest.
Next to the erection of a bridge over the Menai Straits,
that should be in every respect unobjectionable, the cut-
ting through the hard rock of a promontory, so formid-
able as Penmaen Bach, was considered to be the greatest
difficulty in the construction of the entire line. Yet now
—arid, as will be seen, in less than half the time origin-
ally contemplated as necessary—an opening has been
effected through the very heart of the hill.
Operations, thus successfully outstripping even the
quick march of ardent expectation and sanguine hope,
are deserving of marked encomium ; and, we feel as-
sured that neither the enterprising will that undertook
the task, the engineering mind that presided over the
operations necessary to effect it, nor the steady untiring
toil by which it has been accomplished, can be too
warmly eulogised. Contractor, engineers, and men, are
alike deserving of all praise.
The tunnel is a curve of about six hundred and thirty
yards in length, being the arc of a circle of half a mile in
radius. In other words its curve is between one-eighth
and one-ninth of a circle a mile across—its curvature is
therefore very gradual—in fact so gradual as to look like
a straight line when inspected in detail from within. The
span of the tunnel is ample, and its sides and roof are well
and finely hewn, so as to present no unsightly ridges, or
suggest the least idea of danger. The stone is hard, solid
masonry of nature's own cementing—gigantic basaltic
blocks, the anhydrous fused result of the creative power
that has pervaded the bygone eternity : and their hard-
ness and intractability formed the prime difficulty in the
undertaking. This difficulty was much increased by the
impossibility of constructing shafts or openings from
above. None but lateral openings could be brought to
bear. Five openings, however, were driven sideways
into the hill, and when the workings had reached that
length which was deemed to indicate a junction with the
line of the tunnel, double sets of men were put on to
work away right and left. The result evinced the ac-
curacy of the observations that had been made ; and
practice showed the trpth of the theory that guided it.
In all the parts the Working proved correct, the different
gangs meeting without the slightest fault.. Air and
daylight are now dancing in the bosom of the mountain,
holding their railway jubilee.
The completion of the work is going on with vigour,
for Mr. Cropper is not a man to rest too long upon his
oars ; and we trust that the period will not be remote at
which we shall have again the pleasing task of inspect-
ing the perforated hill to report the full completion of

Lambeth Police-court, as the business was nearly dis-
posed of, Maria Rosina Cook, a young woman, dressed
in the garb of a sailor, was brought in, and placed at
the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of
attempting to destroy herself by swallowing a quantity
of laudanum.
John Constable, 43 L, deposed that about ten o'clock
on that day, while on duty at the Tower-street station-
house, a person came in, and requested his immediate
attendance at a coffee-house in the Waterloo-road, where
a young sailor had poisoned himself. He instantly pro-
ceeded to the house, awl, finding the prisoner in a sroepy
state, he went in pursuit of a in, dical man. The first
shop he went into he was asked if it was not a young
sailor who had destroyed himself ? and, on asking them
why they should know the fact, they told him that a
young sailor had been there a short time before to re-
quest three-pennyworth of laudanum, but they refused
to serve him. lie subsequently removed the prisoner to
Guy's Hospital, when the stomach pump was used, and
she became sufficiently recovered to take her to the
station-house, when he had the charge booked against
her. From the statement she had made to him (the
constable), it appeared that she was the daughter of a
respectable veterinary surgeon, residing at Clutton,
Som(r etshire, and having become enamoured of a pri-
vate soldier belonging to the 37th Regiment of Foot, she
had left her home, and had latterly lived at Chatham,
where her lover was quartered. The regiment had lat-
terly been ordered on foreign service, and was about to
sail for Ceylon, and prisoner, discovering that the object of
heraffections was to proceed thither by the ship Minerva,
lying in the East India Dock, she sold her female appa-
rel, at a great sacrifice, and purchased the sailor's clothe
she then had on. She then went to the registry for
seamen, and procured a registry note in the name of
David Cook. She next went on board the Minerva and
offered herself to the captain as a cabin boy, but to her
great mortification found that the captain had shipped
all hands on board and therefore did not require her
services. Foiled in her object in accompanying her
lover she had resolved upon committing suicide, and her
417.4 :intoitiPpr wad to have thrown herself off one of the
bridges ; this she should have-done„she said. had she
not been told by a sailor boy that she brought with her
from Chatham that the Thames was so excessively
crowded with craft that the probabilities were that she
would drop on to one of them, break her bones, and die
a lingering death. She then made up her mind to take
poison, and procured a small quantity of poison at
different shops, all of which she swallowed off with some
coffee, before the constable found her. The witness
here handed to the Bench a letter, which Mr. Norton
read, and of which the following is a copy:—
" Dear Thomas,—l have overstepped the bounds of
prudence and modesty, in hopes of being able to reach
Ceylon with you. I have put on boy's apparel and come
to this sink of iniquity, London, to enter the " Minerva"
as a boy, but when I got here, the captain had shipped
all his hands. I have tried to get on board several ves-
sels, but cannot, on account of not being able to find
money enough to provide enough of clothes to get to
sea. I have sold all my own to get what I have on, and
have no money to get others. I have no friends here,
no plaee to go to—but I cannot blame anybody but my-
self! Think of me no more, Thomas, as it is useless—
you will never see nor hear from me again. Remember,
me to Harriet and Charles. Don't make yourself un-
easy about me. I have no more to say, but remain
yours, till death,

" London, November 14, 1846."
Charles White said he was in a coffee-house in
Waterloo-road that forenoon, and perceiving a strong
smell of laudanum, he looked about to see if any person
was taking any. Immediately after he saw the prisoner
with her hand on the table, and in a drowsy state. He
shook her up and asked her if she had taken anything,
and she replied that she had swallowed poison. He then
sent for the constable, and the prisoner was removed to
Guy's HospitaL
Mr. NORTON here remarked that he was not
aware that the laudanum would have so instantaneous
an effect upon a person taking it, and a medical gentle-
man present replied that it would not, particularly when
taken in coffee.
The constable said that the prisoner had acknowledged
to him that when she had taken the laudanum she was
so exhausted for want of rest, that she was scarcely able
to hold her head up. The fact, she said, was, that she
was so much alarmed about her sex being discovered
that from the time she had put on her present apparel
till the present she had not taken them off. On the
Friday night she engaged a bed for herself and the
sailor boy that was with her at the coffe-shop, and
rather than take her clothes off and go to bed she sat in
a chair all night.
In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, she said she
had seen the soldier, Thomas Gardner, three years ago,
when he was with a recruiting party at Bristol; bat she
had not left her home until six months ago, when she
learned that he was in Newport, in Wales, and from
there she had accompanied him to Chatham. She
declared that it had been her fixed intention to destroy
herself, and was very sorry that she should have been
prevented; and added, that it was impossible to endure
greater torture than that which she had experienced for
the last three days.
The prisoner, who is in her 20th year, must have been
a very pretty girl, and who became the sailor's, dress
exceedingly well, was ultimately remanded to a future
day to give time to communicate with her friends.

THE SANATORY CONDITION OF WESTMINSTER.—
IMPORTANT NOTICE.—On Saturday a very if:Opal:1El
notice was issued by the churchwardens and governors
of the poor of the united parishes of St. Margaret and
St. John, Westminster, which will have a most salutary
effect in that most densely-populated part of West-
minster. The churchwardens state their intention of
strictly carrying out the provisions of an Act of Parlia-
ment passed in August last, and they have appointed an
inspector for that purpose. The Act in question gives
the power to the churchwardens, upon the certificate of
two medical men that a nuisance by drains, cesspools,
or filth, which may be dangerous to the public health,
exists in any lane, court, street, alley, or dwelling-house
or building, to summon the parties before two of her
Majesty's justices of the peace, who, upon being satis-
fied of the existence of either of the above offences, have
authority to order the same to be removed, and the
dwelling, &c., to be whitewashed, cleansed, or the
nuisance abated in whatever way they may direct. This
is to be done within a time enacted by the justices, and
if not completed in that period the magistrates can em-
power the persons laying the complaint, by themselves
or their servants, to enter the premises, and have all
needful cleansing done, or directing the removal of all
nuisances; and the Act provides that any one obstructing
them in this act will be a liable to a penalty of 101.,
and not less than 21. for each offence. The second sec-
tion of the Act empowers the magistrate to give an
order for all the costs and expenses incurred in any
proceeding of the above nature, and upon non-payment
an order of distress is to be issued on the goods of the
owners or occupiers. When it is recollected the abodes
of filth and misery there are in the lowest parts of West-
minster, it will be seen what good can be effected by a
vigilant prosecution of this Act. Other parishes would
do well to follow the example.
FEARFUL CATASTROPHE.—A number of workmen
were engaged on Saturday in shoring up and making
secure, the shattered remnants of the Wheatsheaf public-
house, and Mr. Moore's toy-shop, Nos. 25 and 26,
Rathbone-place, Oxford-street. The excitement conse-
quent upon the falling of the two houses in Middle-row,
and the spacious building in the Old Jewry, had scarcely
subsided, when the inhabitants of the locality referred
to were dreadfully alarmed by the sudden and loud
crashings of timber, followed by an immense fall of
brickwork. &c., and succeeded by dense volumes of
dust. Mr. T. W. Bye, with his wife and two females were
in the bar at the time; and Mrs. Bye fainted away, but
was rescued through the presence of mind of her husband,
who carried her in his arms to the house of an opposite
neighbour. Immediately after the first creaking of the
timbers the two barmaids precipitately ran up stairs, in
order to save some little valuables belonging to them,
but they were met by such a mass of falling rafters and
bricks that they were compelled to make a hasty re-
treat. While this was going on in Mr. Bye's house, his
neighbour, Mr. Moore, was paralysed by the whole of
the basement story of his house giving way. He and
his family had a narrow escape, and they are all but
totally ruined by the calamity. Mr. Bye's house presents
a melancholy wreck. In the rear may be seen nearly
twenty-seven tons of what appears to be rubbish; but
perhaps the greatest thing to be lamented is, that buried
underneath are some of the finest originals of the first
masters. Amongst others is that of Lord Lovell and
the Duchess of Somerset. The district surveyor, Mr.
Baker, has been actively engaged in superintending the
safety of the neighbourhood, and has already condemned
five houses in the same locality.s Mr. Byes exertions
will be long remembered by neighbours, and de-
servedly so. He has been a member of the vestry, and
filled some of the highest parochial offices; and to the
discharge, perhaps, of his public trust may be attributed
the presence of mind and nerve he displayed on this
alarming occasion.
WESTMINSTER ABBEY SPIRE, AND OTHER
Ihi-
PROVEMENTS.-'-We do hope that Dr. Buckland, who is,
very properly, ever ready with suggestions for the re-
storation and amendment of other buildings, will now
look at home, and lend his aid, as Dean of Westmin-
ster, to improve the Abbey church. Let him get rid
of some of the monstrous specimens of bad stone-ma-
sonry which now disfigure and injure it, giving parts of
it the appearance of a statuary's show shop rather than
that of a Christian temple. The ancient monuments
should be carefully looked to and maintained,
and Henry Seventh's Chapel, both inside and outside,
requires immediate attention. As regardsful that the con Wren,
struc-
tion of: the spire, we ought to be grate
great artist as he was in other respects, was not com-
missioned to effect it ; and almost equally so in the case
of James Wyatt, who in later times also reported upon
it. There would be much less chance of the removal of
an incongruous disfigurement, such as would certainly
have been placed there, than there is now of a spire being
commenced. We would gladly contribute to remedy the
mischief Wren did at the west end.—The Builder.
lIEREFORD.—Mr. William H. Cooke, of the Ox-
ford circuit, has been appointed, by the Dean and Canons
of Hereford, to succeed the late Sir Charles Wetherell .as
counsel to that cathedral.

STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, NOV. 13.—We
have no change to report in the foreign wool trade this
week, either as regards sales or prices.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, NOV. 13.—Sales
of English wool have not varied materially for the last
few weeks. They are very small ; and confined to the
supply of the immediate requirements of the manufac-
turers. Prices are nominally the same as last week.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 12.—There has
been rather more doing in long wool this week which
has created a firmer feeling with holders, and late quo-
tations have been better sustained. Short wool is not
heavy in stock, and maintaias its price, with an average
business doing in it.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—At our Cloth Halls, on Satur-
day, there was about an average quantity of goods sold,
in comparison with the markets of the last six weeks ;
but on Tuesday, there were more goods taken than for
some time ; on the whole, however, the markets rule
dull for the season, and the manufacturers complain
heavily of the want of profit. Prices are steady. Al-
though there have not been many buyers in the town
this week, more goods have been delivered to the car-
riers than has been the case of late.
IIECKNONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, Nov. 12.
There has been a good attendance of buyers cn Monday
and to-day, and good samples were readily bought with-
out any alteration in prices.
BRADFORD MARKET, TRURSDAY, NOV. 12.—There
is no alteration in the demand for word. Stocks are
sufficient and prices extremely firm. Spinners are
working completely up their stocks of wool, thinking
that prices will come down. For clothing wools there is
a fair demand. The yarn market is the same as it has
been for two or three weeks past. The spinners are
considerably curtailing their productions. A good deal
of apprehension seems to exist in the spinning trade.
We have, however, this consolation, that to all present
appearances there never were so few black sheep in the
trade, and if the spinners and manufacturers are not just
now making fortunes, there is not that anxiety that we
have seen at this season respecting men's solvency.
There was a fair attendance of merchants in the mar-
ket, and an average business done. A great number of
manufactures are busy manufacturing goods with silk
stripes. Heavy goods, such as moreens, are in firm de-
mand—prices firm. A number of manufacturers have
heavy stocks in dress goods.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING —Our
cloth market has become exceedingly irregular, and also,
if anything, less business doing, though there are plenty
of manufacturers who are disposed to quit stock in the
face of a very large reductio❑ in the produce. Very
good printing cloth is in fair demand, and the printers,
ou the whole, tolerably well employed. Every packet
from the United States brings extensive orders, other-
wise we should have been unusually fiat and depressed.
The market, on the whole, closes anything but brisk.
Yarns are also heavy sale, but we think not lower, espe-
cially for first qualities.
