STOPPAGE IN MANCHESTER.—It was rumoured a
day or two ago that the old and respectable house of
Richard Gould and Co., in the fustia❑ trade at Manchester,
had stopped payment, and a private meeting of creditors
was summoned, it appears, for Wednesday. The balance-
sheet was then found to be not quite ready, and the meeting
was postponed to yesterday (Friday). The liabilities are
estimated at 48,000/, and the assets at about 30,0001. The
losses will fall principally upon the bankers and upon rela-
tives. Mr. Gould is connected with the firm of Gould and
Cooper, spinners of Oldham, but this firm is understood to be
perfectly solvent. It is expected that a very respectable
composition will be ofered to the creditors.
On Monday last one of the boilers of the Orion
steam-boat was brought into Portpatnck Harbour. If the
weather continues favourable, it is expected that the whole
of the wreck will shortly be got ashore.

We understand that Mr. James Martin, one of
the surveyors under the Committee for Lloyd's Register of
British and Foreign Shipping, has been seat to Dean Forest,
in Gloucestershire, to examine and determine the quantity
of English oak timber, felled in that forest, which is fit for
shipbuilding purposes. Mr. Martin was brought up in her
Majesty's dockyard at Chatham, and has bad much expe-
rience, as Lloyd's surveyor, in merchant shipbuilding yards.

OTTER HUNTING AT DUNSE.-011r town was early
astir on the morning of the 12th inst , to witness the Duke
of Atholl and his party depart for the sport of otter hunting
on the Whittader. At half-past five AM the noble Duke, in
the Highland.garb, and Lord John Seott,arrived at the Swan
Hotel, and in a very short time the party, followed by se-
veral hundreds of our town's•folk, were on their way for
Preston-bridge, where the hounds ware laid on, taking up the
river. The rapid rate at which they followed up, and the
I badness of the roads, soon left many in the rear. The noble
Duke is an excellent pedestrian. In following up some
fine sport was had from our own folks, who, unaccustomed
to the exercise, attempted to imitate the true otter hunter,
dashing in and through the water, no matter where ; but alas
for them, however well they appear on the pavement or other
easy roadways, the rugged bottom of the Whittader was too
severe: in several instances they went souse head over heels,
to the no small amusement of the more surefooted. We fol-
lowed up about two miles, bat gave up the sport as too hard.
During that time no game was raised, although the hounds
before that had made scent. A short way above Elmford they
fell in with a fine large otter, and killed it after a short run.

On Friday night, at a little past eight o'clock, an
explosion of fire-damp took place in the colliery at Shipley,
whereby one man lost his life, and seven more were more or
less burned, although happily not so much as to greatly
endanger their lives.—Derby Reporter.
LEICEStEII TRADE.—A little more business is being
done in various branches, but no great amount is doing ge-
nerally. It is fully expected a gradual improvement will
take place till the cold season Seta in, when full activity will
be ma more experienced.
