STABBING BT A PUBLICAN.—WiIIiam Topping, a pub-
lican, at Wigan, has been charged with a serious assault
on a collier, named Lester. The complainant and several
other persons were drinking on New Year's Day at defen-
dant's house, when a quarrel took place. Topping seized
a knife, and with it inflicted seven wounds on Lester's head
and neck. Lester was unable to appear, and was reported
in a dangerous condition. The prisoner was remanded.
ARSON.—A person named William Skeels has been
charged, on his own confession, with setting fire to saw
mills at Deiby, belonging to the Midland Railway Com-
pany. It was proved that the mills 'referred to were de-
stroyed by fire some time ago. The prisoner, when he
gave himself up to the police, made a statement chewing
how he set fire to the mill. He was remanded.

THE LATE BARON MAR.OOIIETTI.—At the Palace
of the Tuileries throughout the reign of the Orleans dynasty
the sculptor was as much at home as at Turin. With
more than courtly affection, however, Marochetti followed
the ad verse no less than the prosperous fortunes of his royal
friends, and upon the downfall of Louis Philippe he cast
in his lot with the exiled family, and gave up in France a
splendid position with no other prospect than that of
beginning life anew in this country.— Times.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT A WORKHOUSE.
—EIGHTY DOTS SALIVATED : ONE DEAD.—An extra-
ordinary occurrence has been brought to light at an inquiry
at the Preston House of Recovery, held before Mr.
Myers, coroner, in reference to the death of a boy named
Patrick Burke, son of Stephen Burke, who was executed
at Lancaster in September 18G6, for the murder of his
vtife. It seems that the deceased was an inmate of the
Walton-le-Dale 'Workhouse, near Preston, and two days
Wore Christmas Day the governor thought he would
make the boys perfectly clean when inspected by visitors,
and obtained from the surgery a pot of " blue ointment,
which contains a considerable quantity of mercury." Ha f
a tablespoonful of this ointment he rubbed on the head of
each boy in the workhouse—between eighty and ninety—
and about fog:: or five hours later washed them and sent
them to bed. Next morning they all felt unwell, and the
day following the attention of Dr. Smith was called to
four of them, who were salivated and suffering from great
exhaustion. By his direction they were removed to the
House of Recovery at Preston, but it was not until the
death of one of them (Burke) that the doctor was informed
of what had been done. He then made an inspection of

MURDEROUS GAROTTE ROBBERY.—At the Not-
tingham Police-court, yesterday, Francis Hattewell
was charged with garottiug Mr. Henry Clarke, gentleman,
in that town. The prosecutor was returning home late at
night, when he was attacked by two men. The first
struck him a tremendous blow under the chin, from which
he fell, and they then both kicked him most savagely.
Blood flowed freely, and he was becoming insensible,
when assistance came up, and the ruffians made off. The
prisoner, however, was pursued and captured. A valuable
watch belonging to the prosecutor was nearly smashed to
pieces in the struggle. The prisoner was committed for
trial at the Assizes.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 3—Owing to the price of
cotton having again somewhat advanced at Liver-
pool a corresponding advance has been sought in
this market for yarns, and higher rates have in
many cases had to be given by purchasers. Sellers
of cloth have attempted to follow the same course,
and have demanded higher prices, but they have
found buyers exceedingly unwilling to give them.
Many of them are merely willing to repeat the
offer made at the beginning of the week, and we
hear of very little business effected at all, under
the circumstances. Even transactions at the
smallest advantage on Tuesday's rates have been
on a very limited scale indeed. Manufacturers,
however, have assumed a very firm tone indeed,
many of them.now having long contracts on hand,
and not caring to take new engagements at any
prices that do not offer a fairer prospect of a profit-
able return than such as have been obtainable to-
day. On home trade yarns manufacturers have
had to pay an anvance of id. per lb.
LEICESTER, 3d.—Trade has been much depressed
during the last week, and there seems no desire to
commence in earnest until things get more settled.
Holiday making has also engrossed considerable
attention locally, so that but few mills have com-
menced work, and we are not aware of any parti-
cular arrangement having been made for the new
year. A general feeling prevails that wools have
seen their lowest quotation, and that when the trade
does set in there will be a sharp competition. The
week has shown a little more inquiry for the finer
class of wools, such as blue drawings, which support
late prices. The lower kinds are not so much in
request, and but little is being received from the
growers. Advices from Hinckley report the cotton
hosiery trade in that district to be of quite an ave-
rage character for the time of the year. In the
elastic trade, taking into consideration that it is the
first week after stock-taking, there is a fair demand
for boot webs, and manufacturers generally are
more fully employed than for some months past.
In the boot and shoe branch there is nothing fresh
to report, trade not having yet resumed.

APOTHECARIES' HALL.—At a Court of Exami-

and Mr. James Bartlett, of Charing-crow Hospital, passed
the first examination.

Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective invention in the cura-

hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a soft bandage being worn
round the body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by
the Moe-Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease
and closeness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during
sleep. A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which
cannot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circumference of the

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As the press generally, when alluding to
the corps which I have the honour to command,
designate it as a " temperance corps," I shall esteem
it a great favour if you will allow me to inform the
public through the medium of your paper, that al-
though when first formed it was strictly of that
character, such a principle was found to be too ex-
clusive, and the regiment has not been a " temper-
ance corps" for several years past ; but has been
and now stands, with respect to abstaining or not
abstaining, upon the same footing as all other volun-
teer corps.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

THE FENIAN PRIEST.—The mysterious " Father
O'Connor" (whose presiding at a Fenian meeting in Lon-
don was mentioned in the evidence given by Vaughan
before the Bow-street magistrate) is a young priest of the
diocese of Cashel. lie was sent over to London by his
diocesan for the purpose of collecting some funds to aid in
the building the tower of the cathedral iu that town, and
on his arrival applied for the usual leave to say mass in
the diocese of Westminster, which was granted, as a
matter of course. From all we hear, he gave great offence
to such of the London clergy as he called upon by his de-
nunciation of the English Government, and seems to have
mixed himself up with people and with proceedings which
were the reverse of creditable to him as:a priest. Ile left
London sonic time ago, having been recalled by his arch-
bishop, Dr. Leahy.— Weekly Register. •

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 3—Owing to the price of
cotton having again somewhat advanced at Liver-
pool a corresponding advance has been sought in
this market for yarns, and higher rates have in
many cases had to be given by purchasers. Sellers
of cloth have attempted to follow the same course,
and have demanded higher prices, but they have
found buyers exceedingly unwilling to give them.
Many of them are merely willing to repeat the
offer made at the beginning of the week, and we
hear of very little business effected at all, under
the circumstances. Even transactions at the
smallest advantage on Tuesday's rates have been
on a very limited scale indeed. Manufacturers,
however, have assumed a very firm tone indeed,
many of them now having long contracts on hand,
and not caring to take new engagements at any
prices that do not offer a fairer prospect of a profit-
able return than such as have been obtainable to-
day. On home trade yarns manufacturers have
had to pay an anvance of id. per lb.
LEICESTER, 3d.—Trade has been much depressed
during the last week, and there seems no desire to
commence in earnest until things get more settled.
Holiday making has also engrossed considerable
attention locally, so that but few mills have com-
menced work, and we are not aware of any parti-
cular arrangement having been made for the new
year. A general feeling prevails that wools have
seen their lowest quotation, and that when the trade
does set in there will be a sharp competition. The
week has shown a HUN more inquiry for the finer
class of wools, such as blue drawings, which support
late prices. The lower kinds are not so much in
request, and but little is being received from the
growers. Advices from Hinckley report the cotton
hosiery trade in that district to be of quite an ave-
rage character for the time of the year. In the
elastic trade, taking into consideration that it is the
first week after stock-taking, there is a fair demand
for boot webs, and manufacturers generally are
more fully employed than for some months past.
In the boot and shoe branch there is nothing fresh
to report, trade not having yet resumed.

APOTHECARIES' HALL.—At a Court of Exami-
ners held on Thursday, the 2d haat., Mr. Thomas San-
some, of Hill Top, West Bromwich (Birmingham School
of Medicine), having passed the necessary examinations,
was admitted a Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries ;
and Mr. James Bartlett, of Charin,g-crop; Hospital, passed

ing it. Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist,
