than at that time. Rape Seed Oil has been only in limited
request, and prices are not so firm. Olive has been in ex-
cellent request, and holders manifest firmness. Cocoa Nut is
still in short supply, and, being much in request, prices are
rising. Palm has been in excellent request, and is held
firmly. The arrivals of Fish Oils have been to a small ex-
tent only during the week, whereas the deliveries are still
improving. Prices are lower than at this time last season by
40s or 50s for Cod, but- higher by 103 to 30s for Seal. For
Southern they are much about the same as that time, but are
lower for Sperm. Southern is wanted, and previous advanced
rates are fully supported.
TALLow.-There is still a strong desire evinced by the
home trade to get supplied with Russian Tallow, the supply
continuing to be small, and the deliveries increasing ; fur-
ther advanced rates have been compelled to be paid on the
spot by chandlers and soap makers; indeed, the market
has been nearly cleared, and 47s 9d to 48s per cwt
are the prices paid for new Petersburgh Yellow
Candle. Of old there is scarcely any remaining unsold. For
forward delivery large contracts have been entered into at
advanced rates. Of Town Tallow there is not much to be
had-it is greatly wanted at the advanced rates of 46s 6d to
47s nett cash; it is, however, still cheaper than any other
sort, and the consumption the greatest. The parcels of other
kinds of Tallow on offer have met with eager purchasers at
Further advanced rates.

THE MANIAC TRAVELLER.

The following are somo additional particulars re-
specting the *subject of a paragraph which appeared in
The Sun yesterday. The paragraph detailed the circum-
stances of an attack made by an insane person on a
gentleman named Parker, in a carriage of the Derby
mail train, on the North-Western Railway:—
On the morning of Tuesday last, the 13th inst., about
half-past eight o'clock, a horse and cart having on it the
name of Charles Higgenbottom, Stone-bridge, Wiles-
don, drew up at the entrance-gates of the workhouse of
the parish of St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington, situate in
the Gloucester-road, Kensington. The cart contained,
in addition to the driver, police-constables 101 and 115
of the D division, who had with them a wretched-
looking object covered with dirt and blood, and who
was securely bound down with strong cords. On their
being admitted into the workhouse-yard, the policemen
stated to Mr. Blackwell, the master of the workhouse,
that the person they had brought with them was a lunatic
who had been found early that morning at Kensal-
green, in the parish of Kensington, under the following
circumstances :—At an early hour, as some labourers
in the employ of Mr. Edward. Salter, farmer, of Notting
Barns Farm, situated about midway between Notting-
hill and the General Cemetery at Kensal-green, were
going to their work in the fields, they saw a man in a
state of nudity with the exception of a pair of trousers
and a.pair of fine cotton socks, covered with mud, dirt,
and blood, come over a hedge into one of Mr. Salter's
fields, from a swamp through which he had crawled,
near the Great Western Railway. The labourers told
him he was trespassing, and that he must go back, upon
which he became_ much excited, and on their attempting

to enforce their directions, he 'became so violent that it
took 12 of the labourers to secure him ; and so oonvincd
were they that he was an escaped lunatic that they
bound his arms securely with strong cords to prevent
him doing himself or others further mischief, and then
handed him over to the police. Upon hearing that
statement Mr. Blackwell directed the unfortunate man
to be taken out of the cart, and conveyed into the in-
sane ward of the workhouse, which was done. When

there, the cords by which he was bound were re-
moved and a straitwaistcoat put on. Mr. Guaszaroni,
surgeon, of the terrace, Kensington, who is medical
officer of the workhouse, was then sent for to
examine his state and condition, and in the interim
efforts were made to cleanse-him rom the dirt and mud
with which be was covered, which was found to be a
most difficult task, as while doing so it was discovered
that his arms and other parts of his body had numerous
lacerated wounds, into which the mud, &c., was so
grouted, that they could with great difficulty be cleansed.
He gave no account as to how he got into the wretched
plight into which he was, but on being questioned as to
his name and where he had come from, he stated that
his name was Osborne Markham, and that his apart-
ments were at No. 94, Mount-street, Berkeley-square.
A messenger was immediately dispatched to Mount-
street to ascertain the truth of that statement, and on
his going to No. 94, Mount-street, he found that Mr.
Markham Osborne lived there, and that that gentleman
had been expected home on the previous evening from a
shooting excursion at the Marquis of Bute's ; that he had
come up on the previous evening in a first-class carriage of
the mail train on the North-Western Railway, his man-
servant being in a second-class carriage; and that on the
arrivalof the train at the terminus, the servant, on going to
the carriage in which his master had sat, found it empty,
and his master's clothes, with the exception of his
trousers and socks, with his gold watch, &c., lying on
the seat; that in consequence it was thought that the
unfortunate gentleman had cast himself from the train
during its progress, and his friends-had been in active
search after him during the night. Mr. Guassaroni on
making a minuter examination of the wounds, found
there was one at the back of the head of rather a serious
character, and also two severely lacerated cuts on the
t h leftee on him and in

Mount-street. The strictest secresy has been maintained
by all parties connected with the case as to who Mr.
Osborne is, and the motives and causes which led to his
extraordinary conduct, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that he is highly connected, that he is related to a
Noble Duke, uncle to a Marquiss, and the brother of a
titled lady. He is stated to be, in appearance, about 40
years of age, and about five feet nine inches high.

RAILWAY RETURNS.

RAILWAY -TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail-
ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the
respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same
week in the previous year :

CREMORNE GARDENS.—Active preparations are
already in progress for the opening, next season, of this
popular place of public amusement, in a style of splen-
dour hitherto unequaled in this country. The principal
feature will be a monstre saloon, capable of allowing
three or four thousand " votaries of Terpsichore" to
': trip it on the light fantastic toe" at one time, without
interfering with the promenade of the spectators..
DOMESTIC YEAST.—Persons who are in the habit
of making their own bread, can easily manufacture their
own yeast, by attending to the following directions;—
Boil one pound of goad flour, a quarter of a pound of
brown sugar, and a little salt, in two gallons of water,
for an hour ; when milkwarm, bottle it, and cork it close,
and it will be fit for use in twenty-four hours. One pound
of this yeast will make eighteen pounds of bread.
