MR, EDWIN BOOTH.—This gentleman, who
makes his first appearance at the Haymarket Theatre on
Monday, Sept. 30, is the son of the once celebrated Junius,
Brutus Booth, formerly of Covent garden and Drury.lane
Theatres, and who was contemporary with the Elder Kean.
Mr. Booth many years since went to America, where he
acquired fame and fortune. His son, who is in his 27th
year, holds a high position in America. His acting is said
to be remarkable for vigour and originality, and of the
school of his father and Edmund Kean. A great success
is predicted by those who know Mr. Edwin Booth; and,
should he meet with the approbation of a London public, it
is intended to present him in the characters of Sir Giles
Overreach, Othello, Richelieu, Hamlet, and other leading
characters of our great English Drama.—Era.
The Independance states that the future husband
of the daughter of King Victor Emmanuel is not the King
of Portugal, but the Duke of Operto, the king's younger
brother.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day...,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Commissioner Goulbourn.)
IN ILL BAT KER.-IMPORTANT APPLICATION.

This was an application to discharge the bankrupt from
custody. Mr. Jones, for the bankrupt, stated, that in
January, last year, the bankrupt came up for his certificate,
which was refused, and protection withheld for twelve
months. The bankrupt had not avoided his creditors, and
had taken a situation as clerk to enable him to support his
family. Although he had not kept out of the way he had
only lately been arrested, and he trusted, as he had
suffered considerably from this absence of protection for a
long time, that he would now be discharged.
Mr. Cox, for the creditors, said that the bankrupt had
carried on business at Pall-Mall, and had once called upon
him (Mr. Cox) in reference to a sum of money due from
Mr. Bernal Osborne. He wished him (Mr. Cox) not to in-
terfere with the sum owing by Mr. Osborne.
A witness having been called,

His Honour characterised this as a most impudent ap-
plication. One of the charges against the bankrupt was
concealment of property, and he (the Commissioner) had
no hesitation in saying that had the bankrupt been prose
cuted in a criminal court penal servitude for a very long
period would have been the result. By a trick and specious
statement the bankrupt had obtained from a poor old lady
overx farthing she was worth, and his conduct in that
affair was cruel in the extreme. It was a most impudent
application, and would be refused with costs.

POLICE IN7ELL.VT'ENCE—(27tis say).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BEGGING AT THE CLUBS.-Two powerful .looking men,
having the appearance of excavators, named Benjamin
Correll and William Brown, were charged before Mr.
Beadon with begging of several gentlemen in Regent-
street, and also at the Parthenon Club.
M'Bean, 332 A, said that a little before seven on Satur-
day evening, a gentleman came to him and told him that
the two men were demanding money of him. He went up
Regent-street, and saw them stop a gentleman near the
Parthenon Club, and afterwards the servants of the club
came out and told him the men were in the club-house
begging. They then came out, and he then saw them place
themselves in front of another gentleman and demand
money. They had been drinking, and had been at other
club-houses.

One of the men said they were going out to the Cape, and
that he had a wife and three children, but on account of
the weather could get nothing to do.
Mr. Beadon said they could get something to drink.
The other man said they ought to have been at Mr.
Broadhurst's office that morning. They were going to
work on the Capetown Railway. They were both from
the country.

Mr. Beadon said he did not like their losing their pas-
sage as they were going to the Cape, so he would discharge
them.

The men thanked the magistrate for his kindness.

Just published, 71'st thous tud , price Is., post free for 13

the Author.
DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health and Disease.
The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly
qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20
years has made the Diseases arising usually from
Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are; though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period
lone* preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
perience.
A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap-
pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in
some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time
almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the
general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though
these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre-
valent than any others.
The consequence of so important a department of pathology
being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in
question, virtually npelled from consultation with prac-
titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into
the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal
penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of
these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the
medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion
that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica-
tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare
in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred
hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach,' and replace
chro iic embitterment by permanent content.
Dr. La'Mert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London noe-
-1 pita' Medical Society, &c., is the only le,ally qualified regis-
, tercd practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention
to the treatment of these disorders. At home for consulta-
tation daily, from 10 till 2, and from 6 tin 8.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading markets held on Saturday were fairly sup-
plied with wheat, in somewhat improved condition. Most
kinds changed bands slowly; nevertheless, very little
alteration took place in the quotations. Fine barley and
the best oats were very firm, and most other kinds of pro-
dtice realised quite previous rates.
The continental markets are firm for wheat, on higher
terms. Spring corn continues to sell freely. In the United
States both wheat and flour have produced more money.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last
week, were very moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 11,363 quarters of wheat, 5,770 barley, 15,747
oats, 180 rye, 674 beans, 3,207 peas, 246 tares, 9,415 lin-
seed, 930 rapeseed, 260 sundry, 1,992 eacks and 6,495 bar •
rels of flour.

Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat both from Essex
and Kent were very limited ; but the general quality of
the samples, owing to the late severe weather,' exhibited a
decided improvement. Factors, generally, were very firm
in their demands ; nevertheless, millers operate cautiously,
and the small business transacted both in red and white
samples was at prices equil to Monday last. The attend-
ance of buyers was much restricted.
There was no particular pressure of foreign wheat on the
stands, yet importers were more willing sellers, at last
week's quotations. The transactions were for the most
part confined to moderate quantities for immediate con-
sumption. _

There was some inquiry for floating cargoes, but the
number on offer was limited.
We have to report a good consumptive inquiry for all
good and fine barley& at quite last week's currency. Low
parcels of foreign were a dull sale, but not cheaper.
The malt trade was tolerably firm; but we have no
advance to notice in the quotations.
Oats were in steady request, and the late advance in the
♦alue of fine qualities was well supported.
The few beans on offer commanded extreme rates.

Peas moved off steadily, at very full prices.
There was a fair demand for both English and foreign
flour, at fully previous rates. Some of the holders of Ame-
rican refused to sell except on higher terms.

As might be expected, from the severity of the weather,
the show of foreign stock in our market to-day was very
limited. Sales, however, progressed slowly at barely last
week's prices.

We were seasonably well supplied with home-fed beasts,
and the general quality of all breeds exhibited a further
improvement ; whilst the general weight of the stock was
a full average one. The attendance of butchers was tole-
rably good, and the primest Scots, crosses, &c., sold
steadily at last weak's prices ; but all other breeds were a
dull inquiry, and 2d per 81bs lower than on Monday last.
From the northern districts we received about 900 short-
horns, &c., from the eastern districts, 1,200 Scots, &c.;
from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from
Scotland, 100 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 90
oxen, &c.
Prime down sheep were very scarce, and in-fair request
at full currencies. All other breeds of sheep which came
to hand in fair condition were a dull ;inquiry, and 2d per
Sibs lower in prices. The best downs were worth Os per 81bs.
We were scantily supplied with calves; nevertheless,
the veal trade was ill a sluggish state at last week's cur-
rency.
There was only a moderate demand for pigs ; yet prices
were well supported.

IHE BOILER EXPLOSION AT WIIITECIIAPEL

On Saturday morning John Plumb, a sugar baker,
and John Regal, the stoker, who received such
frightful injuries on Friday morning last by the
terrific boiler explosion on the premises of Messrs.
John Craven and Co., sugar refiners, of No. 3, Great
Garden-street, Whitechapel•road, expired in the
accident ward of the London Hospital from the
mortal effects of the extensive scalds they received.
The other two men who remain are in a precari-
ous condition. They are German sugar bakers,
named Joseph Dittmar and James Hancke, whose
sufferings have been most intense, from the serious
nature of the scalds. The man Samuel Lee, an
Englishman, although severely scalded and con-
tused, left the hospital on Friday afternoon, by his
own request, notwithstanding that Mr. Finch, the
house surgeon, advised him to remain in the insti•
tution. . .

On Saturday morning the district surveyor
connected with the Whitechapel Board of Works,
and other gentlemen, visited the scene of the dis-
aster, and from an inspection of the boiler, it would
appear that both ends had been forced out by the
violence of the explosion. If the misfortune had
arisen in another way the sacrifice of life must have
been fearful.

A large crowd of persons collected round the
front of the building, but they were unable to catch
a glimpse of the ruins, as the boiler-house was
situated at the rear of the premises.

WOOL MARKET.

Owing to the advance in the price of mone3 in the dis-
count market English wool has been much ne;lected since
our last report. Foreign parcels are nominal P price ; but
colonial qualities, owing to the small quantities in ware-
house for the next auctions, are held at extreme rates. Last
week's imports were only 387 bales from New Zealand.

As might be expected, from the severity of the weather,
the show of foreign stock in our market to-day was very
limited. Sales, however, progressed slowly at barely last
week's prices.

We were seasonably well supplied with home-fed beasts,
and the general quality of all breeds exhibited a further
improvement ; whilst the general weight of the stock was
a full average one. The attendance of butchers was tole-
rably good, and the primest Scots, crosses, &c., sold
steadily at last week's prices ; but all other breeds were a
dull inquiry, and 2d per Blbs lower than on Monday last.

From the northern districts we received about 900 short-
horns, &c., from the eastern districts, 1,200 Scots, &c.;
from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from
Scotland, 100 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 90
oxen, &c.
Prime down sheep were very scarce, and in fair request
at full currencies. All other breeds of sheep which came
to hand in fair condition wore a dull (inquiry, and 2d per
81bs lower in prices. The best downs were worth Gs per 81bs.
We were scantily supplied with calves ; nevertheless,
the veal trade was in a sluggish state at last week's cur-
rency.

There was only a moderate demand for pigs ; yet prices
were well supported.

44,1°71g article in defence of the Imperial patent extending
the forced currency of bank notes to Venetia, remarking
that it could do no harm, provided the people would aid
the measure by their good will, and, by a moderate stretch
of imagination, consider a bank note as real cash. The
Opinione of Turin gives the Gunwale di -Verona a borne
uullet, by inquiring how it comes that in its very next
cumber, in its "Notice to Subscribers," it informs them
'hat, in the payment of subscriptions, the florin must be
gold in hard cash, either silver of full weight, or else

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the vim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading markets held on Saturday were fairly sup-
plied with wheat, in somewhat improved condition. Most
kinds changed bands slowly; nevertheless, very little
alteration took place in the quotations. Fine barley and
the best oats were very firm, and most other kinds of pro-
duce realised quite previous rates. .

The continental markets are firm for wheat, on higher
terms. Spring corn continues to sell freely. In the United
States both wheat and flour have produced more money.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last
week, were very moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 11,363 quarters of wheat, 5,770 barley, 15,747
oats, 180 rye, 674 beans, 3,207 peas, 246 tares, 9,415 lin-
seed, 930 rapeseed, 260 sundry, 1,992 eacks and 6,495 bar-
rels of flour.

Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat both from Essex
and Kent were very, limited ; but the general quality of
the samples, owing to the late severe weather,' exhibited a
decided improvement. Factors, generally, were very firm
in their demands ; nevertheless, millers operate cautiously,
and the small business transacted both in red and white
samples was at prices equ it to Monday last. The attend-
ance of buyers was much restricted. _ _

There was no particular pressure of foreign wheat on the
stands, yet importers were more willing sellers, at last
week's quotations. The transactions were for the most
part confined to moderate qnantitios for immediate con-
sumption.

There was some inquiry for floating cargoes, but the
number on offer was limited.

We have to report a good consumptive inquiry for all
good and fine barleys at quite last week's currency. Low
parcels of foreign were a dull sale, but not cheaper.
The malt trade was tolerably firm ; but we have no
advance to notice in the quotations.

Oats were in steady request, and the late advance in the
value of fine qualities was well supported.
The few beans on offer commanded extreme rates.

Peas moved off steadily, at very full prices.

There was a fair demand for both English and foreign
flour, at fully previous rates. Some of the holders of Ame-
rican refused to sell except on higher terms.

RISCA COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

RISCA, JAN. 12.
The following additional evidence was given
after the despatch of our parcel of yesterday :
John Bray examined—l am spare fireman at the
Risca Colliery. I have been employed under-
ground at Risca for 12 years. lam day man. The
men go down with me at six o'clock in the morn-
ing. Before going down I wait for the night fire-
man, who informs me of the state of the workings
in my district, which is the First East and Second
East. On the Ist of December I went to the top
of the pit about a quarter before five. I saw Der-
rick, who told me it was all safe. I then went down
the pit in company with several other persons. On
getting to the bottom I commenced examining the
lamps and locking them. There were two other
persons lockinglbesidesme. Theywere both firemen.
Morgan Beddow, one of them, is alive. When the
lamps are locked they are given to the hanlyers. I
went in after them and examined the works gene-
rally to see if there was any fire-damp or any dan-
gerous places at the top. If I find nothing wrong
I report that all is safe.
By Mr. Brough—The men go in first. If I bad
known that seven 'or eight hours had passed since
the examination, I should have made another. I

discharged my duty fully and completely on the
Ist December, and found nothing to excite my
my suspicion. I have never detected men smoking
in the pit. I have never heard any man make any
complaint. I have never found that locks in my
my district have been unlocked. I never heard any
blower in my district, or in any other. All the old
works are closed in. I have not been into any of the
works since they have been closed, I never met
with any gas on the edges of the " gobs." I have
never heard of a " gob" being aired or ventilated.
The men have not complained to me within the last
two years of the air being slack. My duties are not
of a fatiguing description. Ido not know why
heavier duties are imposed on Derrick than on me.
By Mr. Llewellyn—l saw Edward English in
the pit about six o'clock, after we had locked all
the men's lamps. It was his duty, from 2 o'clock
to 0, to examine the workings on the west side.
When I went down I did not find any traces of gas.
The explosion tiid not occur in any part of No. 1
east or No. 2 east. It is my impression that the fire
took place between 3 and 4 east. I think the ac-
cumulation of gas must have been caused by a
blower. I saw three lamps brought out after the
explosion. They were unlocked, but not open. I
had locked them. The lamp men proved who the
lamps belonged to, aid I knew them as having been
delivered to certain men.

By Mr. Owen—l had not been examined before
I came here. Nothing has been said to me about a
blower. This is the first time I have ever said the
gas came from a blower. I believe the blower to
have been between the 3d and 4th east.
