THE SUGAR MARKET.
There has been a considerable decline in the Dublin Sugar
Market, in consequence of Messrs. Roe's purchases—to which
we alluded last week—being about to be thrown upon the
'market, Government having all but intimated their deter-
mination of not stopping distillation from grain.

.EARLY OATS.—WO have learned from a corres-

sown any time before Christmas, will be fit to cut in July, a

.press upon land-
lords and farmers the necessity of considering this matter, as
ono dijoneutly deserving attentivue—Evening Poe.

CAVALRY.

Cavalry Depot—The authorities at the Horse Guards have
come to the determination of removing the Cavalry Depot
from Maidstone Barracks to Woolwich Garrison, as soon as
the lease of the former place expires, which will take place in
a very short period. The Maidstone barracks have been
found extremely inconvenient and very unhealthy.

THE MAMMOTH HORSE.

We this day visited the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, for the
purpose of seeing the Mammoth Horse, " General Washing-
ton," the property of Mr. Carter, the Lion King, who is ex-
hibiting him for a short time previous to taking him acress the
Atlantic. The " Mammoth Horse" is unquestionably the
largest. horse in the world; he stands twenty hands high,
and weighs twenty-five hundred weight. He is of the dray-
horse breed, his colour is jet black, he is stout. and well-pro-
portioned ; few horses can show such good points as
" General Washington," and his shape is matchlesss ;
in fact he is a perfect model of proportion. He
is exceedingly docile and good tempered; and most
certainly, as regards size and shape, he is the
most remarkable animal ever seen. In the same room
with him is another horse, a perfect contrast, as exquisitely
modelled, as beautifully proportioned, as "General Washing-
ton." " General Tom Thumb," for such is the name of the
Mammoth's companion, is one of the most diminutive of his
species—the smallest of Shetland ponies, but, like all little
creatures, he makes up in fussiness what he wants in power,
and is most amusingly fidgetty.

SHOCKING DEATH.

On Tuesday. forenoon Samuel Brunt, of Clarendon-street,
Hahne, aged nineteen, employed at the brewery of Mr.
Joseph Bleackley, Downing-street, Ardwick, as assistant-
brewer, was engaged in cleaning out a porter vat, which
had undergone the process of sweetening, when he lost
his life under the following circumstances :—About a fort-
night before, five barrels of 'bottoms and nine of boiling
water had been put into the vat for this purpose, and
about half of it was drawn off by Thomas Dunbabin, cooper,
on Tuesday morning. The deceased then went down the
ladder into the inside of the vat, taking with him a boom
to stir up the remaining water and dregs, so that the whole
might run off together • he had not descended far before he
fell to the bottom of the vat. Assistance was procured, and
in about 20 minutes he was got out, by means of a hook at-
tached to a rope; one of the men attempted to go inside,
but was obliged to return by reason of the foul air. Two
surgeons attended, but animation could not be restored. An
inquest was held on Wednesday, before Mr. Chapman, when
it was stated by Dunbabin that the vat, which held 150 bar-
rels, had been emptied and properly cleaned with hot water
about two months before. There was a small square
door at the top, which stood open. Four barrels of hot salt
and water were then put in, and closed up; this remained
in a week; it was then let off, and a man went clown and
swept out the vat. The bottoms and hot water were
then put in as before stated; the vat was then 'closed and
kept so until Tuesday morning, except when it was opened
to put in some additional water. Witness had been in that
brewery thiry- nine years, and they had always adopted
this method of purifying the vat, except that they never
used salt and water before; but he did not think anything
noxious bad arisen from that, as one of the men bad gone
down and cleaned out the vat when the salt and water was
drawn off. He never knewtsuch an occurrence before. On
half-a-dozen similar occasions he had gone into vats, but
had never met with any danger. The deceased had been six
months in the brewery; he had never been in a vat on a
similar occasion before. The liquor was only about four
inches deep in the vat when he began to stir it, the noxious
vapour or gas which arose bad overpowered him. The vat
was 11 or 12 feet in diameter. Witness did not consider
there was any risk. The vat had been used as a porter yat
30 years; it had stood empty about five years; but it had
been taken down and repaired, and was fitted again last
spring; but the liquor having a tack. they had tried to
purify it as stated. They did not use candles when there
was a sufficient light from a window, as in this case. Wit-
ness has gone into a vat without danger, in some cases,
where a lighted candle was extinguished by the foul air.
The jury, in acreeing to a verdict of "Accidentally suffo-
cated," recommended that in future the trap-doors of the
vats should be left open two or three days before any one
went in.—Manchester Times.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—A report, entitled " Seizure of 2,0001. worth of illicit
spirits of nitre," having appeared in your widely-circulated
journal of the llth inst., has been brought under our notice
by our clients, Messrs. C. Foot and Co., who have for the
last twenty years carried on business as acetous acid and
chemical manufacturers at Battersea, and as such report (if
allowed to go abroad uncontradicted and unexplained) is
calculated seriously to prejudice them in their business, we
have to request that you will, without delay, insert this
letter.

The report, after stating the seizure upon the premises of
Messrs. Foot and Co. of 19 carboys of spirits of nitre (in
which we beg to observe that the officer, Davis, on his
making the seizure, was afforded every facility even to the
use of carts and horses, for the removal of the goods in
question), proceeds as follows :
" In addition to the seizure made by Mr. Davis on the
premises of Foote and Co., the Board of Excise have (riven
further directions to seize the whole stock of spirits on their
premises, as, from documents in the officer's possession, these
parties, it appeared, have been the principal dealers, although
they only professed to carry on the business of vinegar mer-
chants."

Messrs. C. Foot and Co , as the successors of the late "Dr.
Bollmann, have for above twenty years carried on business
as aceteus acid and general chemical manufacturers, which
was well known to the officers of Excise, they having been,
as such manufacturers, subject to their survey, and, therefore,
it is untrue that Messrs. Foot and Co. only profess to carry
on the business of vinegar merchants.
With reference to the statement "that the Board of Ex-
cise had given directions to seiza the whole stock of spirits on
the premises of Messrs. Foot and C 0.," we beg to state that
no other seizure has been made than the carboys above-men-
tioned, and that Messrs. C. Foot and Co. have never dealt in
any spirits subject to any excise laws.
In conclusion, we beg to state that the carboys were re-
ceived from Messrs. Bayley and Co. in the regular and open
way of business, the facts relating to which were, immediately
after the seizure, and without disguise, laid before the Com-
missioners of Excise.—We remain, Sir, your obedient servants,
BULL and UNDERWOOD.

The chief ()Weds of this Company are to carry into effect a condi-
tional arrangement entered into with Mons. Hallette for the purchase
of his patent for till Europe, and to sell licenses to use it.

The promoters confidently believe that the atmospheric system of
Mons. Haileac is the most perfect and economical that has been in-
vented for „propulsion en railways and canals, and in this opinion
they are supported by that of many =hunt men of *deuce and ex-
perienced engineers.

By the arrangement entered into with the inventor, the deposit
will be more than will be required until a contract to use the
patent on a railway has been actualy signed, and under any cir-
cumstances it is believed that 41. per share will be ample to carry out
fully the objects of this Company. The risk, therefore, will be small,
whilst the profit by sale of licenses, &e., in the, event of the superiority
of the invention being acknowledged, must be immense.
A detailed prospectus, with form of application for Awes, may be
had at the Company's offices, Winchester-house, Old ltroad street;
or of Mr. J. H. Golding„ broker, Warnford-court, Throginorton-street,

CLEBKENWELL.

Ann Wolsey, a ferocious looking woman, was charged with
an assault of a very savage nature upon Mr. Coulson, the
omnibus proprietor, and with other gross misconduct.
Mr. Coulson is likewise landlord of the Whittington and
Cat public-house, Holloway ; the prisoner entered the tap-
room of that house on the previous night and quite disiusted
all there by her filthy language and gestures. Her husband
came in and endeavoured to get her away, but ineffectually.
Mr. Coulson then interfered, but she fastened on him like a
wild beast, clawed and tore him, and it required the com-
bined exertions of several to tear her away from him. Ttie
violence of her eries was such, that an immense crowd as-
sembled around the house. The police were sent for and she
darted out, but meeting a man named Hatton in the passage,
assaulted him in a similar manner.

The police declared the woman was the terror of the neigh-
bourhood in which she resided.

The prisoner was, in default of the payment of fine, coin-
mitted to the House of Correction for a month.

The Earl and Countess of Jersey, accompanied by
Lady Clementina Villiers, have arrived in town from East
Lodge, Brighton, on their way to Middleton Park.
We understand that Mr. Escott's recent Parlia-
mentary and after-dinner speeches have given great offence
to many of his supporters at the last election. It is also
rumoured that the Conservative party are looking out for an-
other candid-de to stand with Mr. East at the forthcomitz
election. The name of Mr. Fleming, of Stoneham Park, has
been mentioned in connexion with this ruplwr.—Hampshire
