SEEDS.

We have no improvement to notice in the demand for
seeds generally. Nevertheless, no further decline has taken
place in their value. Cakes are a slow sale, at our quota-
tions.

MYSTERIOUS C ISE. —A
STAR/IND.—Yesterday
morning considerable sensation was created in Maze-
pond in consequen rient a'
the following murderous
outrage upon Edward Twitcher, .
outrage having
aged forty pea rbeenThe unfortunate man was found
i stiensibility, lying in the road bleed-
in a state of
the head,'l and was picked up by three
in fromand
oonveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital,
men,
where Messrs. Ellis and Oord, house surgeons, were in'
attendance,
and found he had received a most severe
fracture
of the skull from a blow, and a punctured
Iwound was discovered in the abdomen, which had
been inflicted with a sharp-pointed instrument. From.
the latest inquiries at the hospital, we learn that the
unfortunate man was extremely weak from the loss
of blood, and little hopes are entertained of his roomy. :.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
THE GREAT SLANDER CASE.

The evidence for the defence has at length closed, '
and the wearied public are respited from the flood
of talk until Monday next, when the campaign
will be re-opened by the speeches of Messrs. Arm-
strong and M'Donough on the part of their sepa-
rate clients. The "beginning of the end" of some
sweeping change in the conduct of business in the
Irish lalw-courts by which public time will be
economised is not indistinctly predicted in the fol-
lowing conversation, which ensued before the rising
of the Court on Wednesday :
" Some of the jurors said they would prefer sitting on
the day before Christmas, if the case could be finished
by that means.
" Mr. Whiteside observed that the remaining evidence
in the case might be disposed of in another day, and then
there could bean adjournment for the concluding speeches.
" Mr. M'Donough expressed a hope that the adjourn-
ment would be arranged so that one of the two speeches
would not be made before and the other after it.
"The Chief Baron said be would take cars to deal
fairly with the parties in that respect.
"A Juror—The only injured parties in the entire are
the jury. I think if the supplies were stopped there soon
would be an end of the case."

THE IRISH SE?OYS.
The Irish sepoy gazettes are reduced to the
lowest depths of despair by the harrowing intelli-
gence of the safety of the garrison of Lucknow.
There is, however, some " balm in Gilead," and
one of those faithful exponents of public feeling (the
Kilkenny Journal) consoles itself with the reflec-
tion that though "the white plumesare now dancing
over many a homestead in England and Ireland,"
yet " but a little while, and we shall see the hearse
and the corpse, and hear the groans of broken
hearts." "As for the struggle itself," devoutly adds
the sympathetic organ, " may God defend the
right !"

_ -
THE LATE MEMBER FOR BETERI•EY.

Mr. Lewis, jun., of the firm of Lewis? ell Lewis,
attended at the Bow-street police-court, before Mr.
Henry, to tender bail on behalf of Mr. Edward
Auchmuty Glover, late member for Beverley, and
now a prisoner in Newgate. It will be remembered
that during last session of Parliament Mr. Glover
was unseated by the decision of a commi, tee of the
House of Commons, on the ground that he had not
the legal qualification ; and the committee then
recommended that proceedings should be taken
against him for having made a false declaration
touching his qualification, an offence which the law
visits with the pains and penalties of perjury. An
indictment was accordingly preferred at the last
sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and a war-
rant was issued under the hand and seal of Mr.
Justice Coleridge, on the lith inst. On that war•
rant Mr. Glover was apprehended on the 23d, by
Inspector Bray, of the F division, who found him
at No. 30, Coleshill-street, Pimlico, and he was
committed to Newgate by Mr. Justice Wightman,
who fixed the amount of bail, ordering that 48
hours' notice should be given. It was thus impos-
sible for Mr. Glover to be liberated. till Saturday,
as the stipulated term of notice, if give n immedi-
ately, would have expired on Christmas-day. Ac-
cordingly Mr. Glover was compelled to spend that
day in prison. The bail tendered wore Mr. Chas.
Harcourt, cf Great George.s.reet, Westminster,
solicitor, and Miss Margaret Grace Toker, of " the
Oaks," Ospringe, Faversham, Kent, and 38, Wil-
ton-crescent, Belgrave-square, described as a spin-
ster. The bail having la, ea approve 1, Mr. Glover
was sent for to Newgate, and in a very short time
arrived, and was brought into court. He was then
bound over in his own recognisance for 5001., and
his two sureties in 2501., for his appearance at the
next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. With
the exception of stating his address to be " 38,
Wilton-crescent," Mr. Glover did not utter a word
while in court. To the question, if be was content
to be so bound, he replied only by a slight inclina-
tion of the head. The recognisances having been
made out, Mr. Glover was set at liberty, and left
the court with his friends.

NAVAL AND MILIT.ABY INTELLIGENCE.
The new battalions being raised at Winchester,
to be attached to the 60th Riflcs and the Rifle
Brigade as 4th battalions, are progressing rapidly
in numerical strength, each being now nearly 000
strong, notwithstanding that they have given above
300 men to the service companies of the 60th, and
the 2d and 3d battalions of the Rifle Brigade on
service in India.
The Diadem, 32, screw steam frigate, Captain
W. Moorsom, has taken in powder and shell, and
will sail next week for a short cruise. She is still
a few bands short.
The Arrogant, 46, screw steam frigate, is almost
out of the shipwrights' lands, and will betaken out
of dock the early part of next month.
On Saturday another order was received at Chat-
ham Garrison, again countermanding the order for
the embarkation on that day of the reinforcements
of the 18th Royal Irish, 51st Light Infantry, 72d
Highianders, 83d, 86th, and 98th Regiments for
India, the instructiou now received by command-
ing officers of the 2d and 3d battalions Leing that
the detachments are to embark at Gravesend this
day. In consequence of the illness of Captain G.
H. Adamq, 86th Regiment, Captain J. Boyd, of
that corps, is ordered to embark on board the
Salamanca in command of the reinforcements.
The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com-
mander E. Power, from the Cape station, last from,
Portsmouth, arlived, on Saturday at Plymouth,
where she is to be paid off.
The pilot of the troop ship Stuart Wortley, Capt.
Dobson, belonging to Sir George E. Hodgkinson
and Co., of London, landed at Plymouth on Satur-
day. This ship loft the Thames about ten days
since with Artillerymen for the East Indies, and
has experienced very heavy weather. Tue recent
change of wind enabled her to clear the Channel.

SHIPPING DISASTERS ON THE EASTERN COAST.—
Several casualties more or less serious occurred last
week among the ahipping on the eastern coast. The
Elm Grove, from Sunderland for Swansea, has put inta
Great Yarmouth with loss of bowsprit, dtc., having been
in collision with the Merry Lass, of Shields. The
schooner Seaflower, from Work worth for Boulogne, was
ran into by the North S JP,-, of Whitstable, and sus-
tained considerable damage. The wreck of the Rapid
steamer on the Cross Sands off Great Yarmout a has
been inspected by divers, and it is possible that with
favourable weather a good deal of the cargo may be
Saved. The sloop William Clowcs was run into off
Shields by the Briton stearntug, and was so much in-
jured that her crew abandoned her ; she was afterwards
brought into harbour, however. Tne Juffer Eligonda,
Brous master, from Newcasti) for Rotterdam, was
driven on shore at Newbiggen, near Shields, and be-
came a wreck ; crew saved.
WRECK 02' A FRENCH STEAMER IN THE BLACK SEA
The Press d'Orient of Constantinople gives the f llowing
details of the wreck of the Pharamond, which was men-
tioned' previously :—" The vessel was a good deal strained
on leaving the Danube on the 7th, and had to encount:x
bad weather in the Black Sea. As a thick fog prevailed
she advanced with great precaution, but the wind and
currents carried her irresistibly towards the land. At
about half-past one in the morning of the B•At she ran on
to a bank of sand covered with marine plants, at about
a mile and a half from the shore, and at about two miles
and a half from Mangalia. Her iron hull almost imme-
diately split open, and water rushed in. Several Greek
sailors and pilots who were on board attempted to seize
•ne of the boats to save themselves, careless of what be-
same of the others ; but the captain and crew prevent-d
them. At daybreak the passengers were safely landed,
no also were some specie, the letter-bags, and part of the
*ergo. On landing the passengers proceeded to Man-
ville, the authorities of which kindly afforded them all
lbe assistance in their power. A messenger was de-
patched with news of the wreck to the French consul
at Tarns, and that functionary, after sending off a t.-le-
graphic despatch to Constantinople, proceeded to Men-
guile. In consequence of this elespatch the French war
steamer the Tage was sent to the scatie of the disaster, and
her commander, Lieut. Guichon, found that it would be
impossible to get the Pharamond cff the bank, and that
When the wind freshened she must go to pieces. Oa this,
the rest of her cargo was got out, and when the Tage
lett only part of her bull remained above water."
THE SUNKEN SHIPS AT SEBASTOPOL —No ships of
War have yet been raised, but the Beaton Submarine
Company have been at work upon an eighty-four gun
ship. This ship has become deeply imbedded in t' lurid, the Russians before scuttling her having placed
.heavy granite blocks upon her decks to preventit
