LlTEnron, March 4.—Market excited. Sales 20,01)0
bales.
MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—The market opened flat this
morning, with prices still tending downwards and in favour
of buyers. After ono o'clock a rather better feeling set in,
and in the latter part of the day there was more business
doing, and producers could get prices in some departments
of the market which they asked for in vain in the fore-
noon. Tho improvement arose from later intelligence
from Liverpool reporting more business doing and prices
hardening. Export yarns were flat at the opening
of the market, with prospects of a very small business
being don.. Later in the day the India and China buyers
showed more dieposition for business, and a fair amount of
transactions in mule yarns took place. In yarns for home
consumption there might have boon more done, had not
spinners advanced their rates, and shown a disinclination
to sell. The cloth market, which opened dull, also im-
proved during the day, and in India and China shirtings
some considerable sales were made.—Manchester Guardian.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO A wrIZAPEZE FEE-
FoEmm—The Dundee Advertiser reports a lamentable ac-
cident one of the Brothers Bolena,
attheDwuhnideehebMefaesl a gymnast,io-hall, onihursdaynight. The brothers
wont through some very clever and daring gymnastic
performances, which many of the audience, especially
females, could not behold except with fear, but for which
they received from the greater bulk of the audience the
warmest approbation. The elder and stronger of the two
hung from the trapeze by the legs, while he caught the
younger by one of the hands ashe was falling past him, and
swung him in the air. This and other equally daring feats,
as we have already staled, were accomplished in safety. The
next exhibition of their agility was intended to be of a
similar kind. The elder of the two swung from the tra-
peze by the logs, and while in this state it was evidently
his intention to catch the younger by the loft ankle. By
some miscalculation the leg of the younger brother came
some few inches short of the reach of the elder, and he fell
headforemost into the orchestra. The sensation created
among the audience on witnessing such a spectacle can be
better imagined than described. Screams and sobs escaped
from men and women, and a number of those in the front
seats rushed in a state of excitement to see whether the
unfortunate performer had been killed by his fearful fall.
The other performers also hurried to ascertain what was
the matter. The unfortunate man, when picked up from
amongst the feet of the band, lay in the arms of his suppor-
ters in a state of unconsciousness, with the blood flowing
from a wound on the skull. lie alighted with his head on
the sharp edge of the footstool used by Mr. Butler, the
leader of the orchestra, with such force that he broke it,
after having struck in his descent the neck of that gentle-
man's violin. The unfortunate gymnast was carried into
an ante-room, and messengers were instantly despatched
for medical aid. Dr. Duncan arrived in the course of ten
minutes after the accident occurred, and found him
sitting in a chair quite conscious, but complaining of
pain in his head, ribs, and back. On examination it
was found that ho had sustained a large scalp wound
of a semicircular shape, and about three or four inches
in length, .on the crown of the head, and some
slight bruises on the forehead ; but so far as
could be seen :ho did not appear to have received any
very serious injury. The wound was sowed up, and the
suff.,rer was removed to his lodgings in the Nethergate.
Falling a distance of upwards of 20 feet, and alighting on
the crown of his head, it is a wonder he was not killed on
the spot. It is supposed that ha must have saved him-
self by his hauls from receiving the full force of tho fall.

Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, have conferred the de-
