DARENG BUitGLARY.

A brutal attack was made on Friday last at the re-
sidence of a very respectable couple, Mr. Fairley and
his tvife, natives of Scotland. Mr. Fairley has been
a fereeing heal' in Cam taidgeshire and Hentirg.lon-
shire for many years, and has lately bad the manage-
ment of I:.lrgae farms, the property of R. H. Hussey,
Esq., and lives at the Holbarn Farm, situate about a
mile from Uovvoed, and about the same distance from
Wisten and Great Rarely. About eleven o'clock on
Friday, the 24:h instant, Mr. Fairley heard footsteps
sear his house; he immediately seiz-d his fire-arms (a
horse-pistol and a revolver), and told the robbers,
whom he saw through his bedroom window, that he
would shoot them if they attempted to enter. The
robbers immediately smashed the shutters and glass of
the parlour window, and also the back door. Mr.
Fairley stationed himself at his bedroom door, at
the top of the stairs, and waived the approach of the
robbers, who had now got lights, and seemed very
cau:ious. Mr. Fairley aimed ac one with his horse-
pistol, which ureferwnwely missed fire. He then took
his revolver, aud, wnenever be got sight of any of the
robbers, fired at them, and they in return fired at him.
Mr. Fairley, fought the robbers for upwards of an
hour, his wife encouraging him by telling him re•
peteedly to " take steady aim ;" the robbers being
foiled in their attempr, to get up stairs, procured a
quantity of straw and articles of furniture, which tipsy
laid in the passage at the beacon of the stairs, to which
they set fire, shutting the site doors so as to force the
smoke up the stairs. Mrs. Fairley now opened the win-
dows of the bed-room to allow the smoke to escape,
and when doing so received a violent blow on the heed
from a stone. When nearly suffocated, Mr. and Mrs.
Fairley surrendered. There were five robbers in
the house, and others were outside ; they were all
masked, and were armed with four guns and three
horse- piseols. After Mr. and Mrs. Fairley sur-
rendered they recived several violent blows. The
robbers rensacked the house, broke open drawers
and boxes, scattered about linen and wearing
apparel, and destroyed furniture, glass, earthenware,
eatables, and drinkables. They afterwards regaled
themselves with bread and meat and cheese. Mr.
Fairley told them where to find a bottle of good
Scotch whisky, and invited them to partake freely of
other spirits; they left about three o'&ock in the
morning, when Mr. Fairley gave the alarm at Up-
wood, and farmers and others were soon scouring the
!outitry in all directions. Near daylight two of the
farm iaboureas discoVered two of the robbers asleep in
a ditch about half a mile from the house, with three
by their side and some of Mr. Fairley's wearing
apparel upon them. They were drunk, and smelt
strongly of whi,ky, Tney. were taken off to St. Ives
loek-up house for e.xetnitation.
It is hoped that the wholei of the robbers will soon
be in custody. The reissing articles are two watches,
silver plate, consistingof taahl, early 51
ei,ndessert, and. tea-
spoons, &c., mailed T. F. n
,
In cash.
The windows and doors of the house are ;complete
wreck, and the plaster on the walls riddled with shot
and bullets.

MRS. "BLOOMER'' IiIVIGHT 1N BATH.
Mrs. Knight, it must be confessed, was very coy in
exhibiting the mew costume. Immediately on her en-
trance she took refuge behind the table and its cloth,
and, notwithstanding repeated invitations, never ven-
tured beyond its precincts durieg the lecture. On its
close,. however, she did step on one side, and revealed
the new costume—
" Like snow upon the river,
One moment seen, then gone for ever."
The momentary glance with which the audience were
favoured excited a very unfavourable impression, and an
unmistakeable fit of laughter, which followed the
Bloumers as they made their exit, still keeping under
ever of the table. As far as could be discovered, the
dress consisied of a "Jim Crow" hat, laced with rib-
bons, a neckerchief, turn-down collar, jacket, and the
paLtilettes, the latter most ugly, odious, things. Has the
reader ever seen fishermen clad in those boots in which
they cl :the themselves up to tho waist? Well, then, if
he itnegine their huge, stiff, hard folds, rendered more
prominent by a ligature at the ancle, ho will have some
idea of the filooraer, as first exhibited in our fashion-
able city. It was, in truth. a man's dress womanified;
there was all the ungracefulness of the one with the
tawdriness of the other. There was nothing of the
smartness of the French eantiniere, or the gracefulness
of the Greek costume; and truth compels us to add,
that the audience separated thinking much worse of
Bloomerism than they did beford they saw it.—Bath
Chronicle.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Oct. 28.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a reluctance to operate in
West India Sugar for all purposes; and in some cases
the rates taken were rather under those of Friday, for
both Grocery and Refining sorts. The purchases are
only 450 hhds, &c., including at auction 198 hhds 33
tierces Barbadoes, which went off quietly, bat previous
valuations were generally sustained; fine yellow realised
38s 6d to 39s 6d; good mid to good 36s to 38s, low to
mid 33s to 355, and mid to fine grainy yellow 36s to 39s
per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was operated in
with reluctance for home consumption, brown lumps can
be obtained at 445; and fair Tittlers at 44s 6d to 45s per
cwt. In Crushed Sugar a good business is doing at
previous rates.
MATJRITIUS.—To- day at public sale 165 bags Trini-
dad Cocoa were sold; good to fine red 44s to 475, low to
middling 3Se to 425, and damaged 35s to 44s 6d. Of

little attention, and previous rates were barely sustained.

Benares went at 403 6d to 425, low to good 35s 6d to
403, damp and washed 35s to 41s 6d, low to mid like

tion, and prices are 2s to 33 lower than at this time last
