little request,.. Saltpetre has sold on fully former terms.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET, WEDNESDAY.-The hop trade
continues in the same dull, inanimate state which has charac-
terised it for some time past. The accounts from the planta-

excellent crop. Brewers, accordingly, operate very sparingly, and
forced sales can only be made at some reduction,

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, 'WEDNESDAY.—This mar-
ket, which at the close yesterday was hardly so strong, opened
to-day with an improvement in tone. Under the influence of a
strong cotton market at Liverpool, all producers have advanced
their prices from the low rates they were willing to accept last
Friday. The inquiry still continues- active, but the advance
demanded materially limits business, and yesterday and to-day
the actual sales are small. Buyers as yet are hostile to give the
advance.

Report.—lmports, per bill of entry. 6,372 bales. There is a
strong inquiry this morning both from the trade and exporters.

little upon the market. The sales will probably reach from
12,000 to 15,000 bales.

CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR. MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—There
was animproved demand for prices at this market to-day. Prices
were rather better for medium sorts.

ADVENTURES OF A. SPECIAL
CORRESPONDENT.

M. Jeannerod, of the Temps, who was taken prisoner
at Saarbruck, and taken on his return to France for a
Prussian spy, has given a long account of his impressions.
He fell into the hands of the Prussians in the town itself,being
misled by its pacific appearance, and thinking his letter
would be much more interesting if he could pay it a pre-
liminary visit. At first he found no bar to his
• progress, but traversed the streets, which bore
rather the appearance of a general fete than of
war time without interruption. By and bye he went into
a cafe where there were no other guests, and where he
stayed about twenty minutes. On coming out he was
surprised to see the streets emptied of Frenchmen, and to
hear from 'the direction of the bridge on the Saar
two shots fired. He went into a shop, and stood there a
few minutes, and very soon the Prussians came down the
street, and carried off the unlucky correspon-
dent -of the Temps, treating him somewhat roughly.
With true French sentiment he declares that fear
was the least of his sensations, but he was keenly sensible
of the 'disgrace inflicted by these men, who dragged him
off without a hat, taking from him not only his
revolver, but his cane. When they reached the
bridge they had to pass it at a run, for the French
balls were flying about. Two carts full of straw were
standing by, into one of these M. Jeannerod was hurried,
a revolver being pointed at him to expedite his movements,
and with a Prussian corpse beside him they started
off. As soon as they got into the forest
the whole appearance of matters was changed. There
were vedettes under the trees, battalions in good order on
the route. Everything gave evidence not only of a
fine and powerful army, but of a nation fully organised
for war, and this was visible wherever they
moved. Let Frenchmen, says the returned prisoner, not
be deceived by false representations. The. descipline of
the men, the zeal of the subalterns, and the spirit
and moral courage of the whole troops are worthy
of admiration. The officers received him very well, and
discoursed about the war, a. subject on which he
was, of course, reluctant to enter. Some said
the affair of Saarbruck was of no moment. Others
said the Prussians meant to draw the French into a
trap and they would succeed. "It is there," said they,
pointing to a particular spot on the map, "that we shall
await you, and that you will be beaten." The Prussian
army is greatly excited. It will be a war, cried one
officer, "to thelast drop of blood;" and another said, " You
will have all the people against you, Monsieur, only the old
men and children are left behind." Our prisoner did not
feel his position very agreeable, for he soon became cou-
vinced he was taken for a spy, and he knew enough
German to make the soldiers doubt whether
his occasional hesitation was genuine. Presently he was
sent to Lebach, where General Gceben treated him very
kindly compensating him for the hardships which he had
undergone. He was released unconditionally, and
several German journalists came to congratulate
him. When he reached France, however, his troubles
were not over, for he was taken for a Prussian spy ; but
at last escaped all dangers, and reached Metz, where he
refreshed himself by a sleep of sixteen hours.

An adjudication of bankruptcy was made on Tues-
day against The O'Donoghue, M.P., on the petition of
Mr. T. N. A. Wallinger gentleman, late of Clarendon-
road, Bayswater, now of Brussels, a judgment creditor
for £lB4. The amount of liabilities did not transpire.
The first sitting is appointed for the 31st of August.
The Chut ela Herald learns on good authority that
the Bishopric of Edinburgh has been offered to Bishop
Cotterill, of Grahamstown and that ho will probablyaccept it. The same paper announces that in well-in-
formed Roman Catholic circles it is said that Archbishop
Manning—for obvious reasons—refuses the cardinal's hat,
which the Pope has expressed his intention of offering to
him in the autumn.
The Polish press in Austria, which at first advo-
cated the neutrality of that country, now urges the Go-
vernment to side with France. The Kraz, of Cracow,
recommends that a corps of observation should be sta-
tioned in Galicia to protect that pivvince against the
troops which are being concentrated in Russian Poland.
It also proposes that a local corps, similar to the Land-
wehr, should be established in Galicia fur the defence of
the country against invasion.

On Sunday morning, while three men were en-
gaged in repairing the sides of the shaft of the Pendleton
Colliery the water burst in upon them, and they signaled
to be drawn up, which was done, but the cage
did not stop at the pit mouth Two of them jumped
out, but the other was drawn over the headgear
with the cage, and was so fastened that it took an hour to
set him at liberty. The ironwork was twisted round his
body, all his bones were broken, and he died shortly
afterwards. The engineer, who is alleged to have been
drunk at the time, has been arrested, and the coroner's
jury have returned a verdict of 'manslaughter against
