THE REPRESENTATION OF ASIITON-UNDER-LLNE.—
The Manchester Guardian says :—Mr. Booth Mason
will certainly go to the poll ; but there is nothing like
the Lame uniformity in the expression of belief that he
will be the accepted man at its conclusion.
SIMPLE DISINFECTANT.—Cut two or three good-sized
onions in halves, and place them on a plate on the floor ;
they absorb noxious effluvia, &c. in the sick room in an
incredibly short space of time, and are greatly to be
preferred to perfumery for the same purposes. They
should be changed every six hours.-7'he Builder.
THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.--Yesterday
being the last day of the show of the Smithfield Cattle
Club, from early morning till ten o'clock last night
crowds of visitors kept pouring through the Baker-
street Bazaar, and it is estimated that during the four
days not less than one hundred thousand persons bad
witnessed the exhibition.

THE BOLTON MURDER—RESPITE OF jUDGIMENT.—On
Tuesday Aaron Atelier, a besom-maker, was tried and
convicted of the wilful murder of his wife, for which the
sentence of death was passed upon him, and he was left
for execution. An error has been discovered in the
jury-panel, so the prisoner has' been respited until the
next assizes, when he will be tried again.
NARROW ESCAPE OF LADY SITWELL.—On Thursday,
between 12 and 1 o'clock, an accident, which might
have resulted in a very serious manner, occurred to
Lady Sitwell. As her ladyship's carriage was turning
from Waterloo-place into Pell-mall the horses euddenly
took fright and started off at a very furious pace. Capt.
Richard Lambert, who happened to be passing at the
time, immediately rushed before the affrighted animals,
and at the imminent danger of his own lite succeeded in
stopping their further progress. Beyond the fright, the
fair occupants sustained no injury.
.MINES.—This week has been Particularly dull, the
amount of bu'iness c xtremely limited, and until after
Christmas it is generally thought we shall not have much
improvement. There have been a few buyers,

offered for shared in most cases have not been such as to
tempt sellers, prices
and consequently very little has been
done. Copper has fallen lid. per lb., but as the stan-
dard declined for mealy weeks previously this may
be considered more as consequent upon it than as de-
noting any further fall in the prico of ores. Tin is down
again, and the tin mines generally must. be seriously
affected is their profits. Lead does not seem to have
fallen so much in proportion to other metals.
