The supplies of Potatoes offering here are less than for
some time past, and of very inferior quality; hence the de-
mand fur the best kinds is active, at higher rates, which now
rule from 31. 15s. to oh 10s. per ton.

HOP MAU MET.
During the whole of the past week full average quantities
of new Hops have reached us from Kent and Sussex ; yet, as
most of the large brewers are still short of stock, a very ex-
tensive business has been doing in them, at full rates of cur-
rency: Yearlings move off steadily, and prices sre well sup-
ported. The duty is still. called 160,000/.

WOOL.
The past week's imports of Wool into London have beer►
chiefly composed of 200 bales from llamburgh, 50 ditto from
Sydney, and 472 ditto from Odessa. The public sales still
progress extremely well, and nearly the whole of the parcels
offered have found buyers. In the private contract markets
a good business is doing in English Wools, but foreign and
colonial are somewhat neglected.

There is but little decline in the prices of Tallow since our
last. The arrivals during the week have
Tallow is more at liberty than for two or three weeks pre-

anticipated. There are now about 18.000 or 19,000 casks on
the way between here and St. Petersburgh ; been good, and
the prices there
are firm, and the season for shipments drawing to a close.
The demand here is good; but with a moderate supply we
see no prospect of any depression in prices. The home supply
is very indifferent, and the price for good and fair fresh melted
Town Tallow is 41s 6d to 42s net cash.

ITALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS.
A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS.
The following case hasexcited so much interest, that the Guardians
of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considere I it their duty to sign
their names to the accompanying important declaration :
We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro-
bins, ene of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutie
Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some
of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that
before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement,
and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely
restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried
various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,'
and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this
country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops," have completely cured him, and he is nuw enabled to attend
to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From ether cures
else made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops" to the notice of the public.
Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning,

The above-mentioned Thomas Robins was quite incapable of doing
any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops.
Some of his wounds were so large, that it was most awful to look at
them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most
dreadful;
indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by
passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques-
tion. He was reduce Ito mere skin and bone, and daily continued to
get weaker, so that there was every nrobabllity of his speedy death.

SOUTHWARK.

On Saturday morning the vicinity of Long-lane,
Bermondsey, was thrown into considerable excite-
ment, owing to a report being extensively circulated
that a man had inhumanly murdered his wife in the
neighbourhood of Smith's-buildings, Long-lane. In-
formation of the above being given at the station-
house soon after the occurrence, Sergeant Newberry,
of the M division was dispatched to the spot to ascer-
tain the truth of the report. He found the woman
was not dead, but in a hopeless condition. The name
of the man is Thomas Hines, residing with his family,
which consists of his wife and four children, at N 0.5,
Cottage-place, Smith's-buildings. He is a fellowship
porter, and in the habit of earning from 15s. to 20s.
a day, but the woman and children are in the most
deplorable state. Saturday morning, about eight
o'clock, he entered his house, and began to abuse
his wife, threatening to murder her. She ran out of
the room and attempted to ascend the stairs to get
out of his way, when he turned round and kicked
her brutally in the lower part of the abdomen. The
poor woman immediately fell down insensible, and
her assailant absconded. The eldest of the poor chil-
dren, a girl about nine years of age, finding her
mother speechless and deluged in blood, called in the
wife of the postman, living next door, who imme-
diately obtained the assistance of some of her
neighbours, and conveyed her up stairs. Mr
Neill, the surgeon, of 160, Bermondsey-street,
was instantly in attendance. He found the
poor woman bleeding profusely from internal
hemorrhage, caused -by a violent kick. She
had miscarried only a fortnight ago through her hus-
band's violent conduct towards her, and it was Mr
Neill's opinion the present iniury coupled with the
former, would cause her death. 'Late in the after-
noon the accused, Tho Mas Hines, was brought before
the magistrate, who, after hearing evidence to the
above effect, addressed the prisoner, and informed
him that the charge at- present was merely a violent
assault on his wife, but he was sorry to say that it
was almost certain his wife's life would fall a sacri-
fice to his violence. He advised him to he silent in
the present stage of the inquiy, as it was his intention
to remand him until Wednesday. The prisoner, who
seemed much agitated, was then remanded.

There is in reality no material change in this market,
although a slight variation in the quotations. There is
no speculative business doing; the prices are wholly go.
verned by the demand for consumption, which, for the

period last year. All the St. Petersburgh Tallow has
arrived, and is included in the stock of this day. Town
Tallow is 40s 6d to 42s nett cash ; rough fat 2s 4d

OLD COURT.
The third session of the present Mayoralty commenced
this morning before the Right lion. the Lord Mayor,
the Recorder, the Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffs, Aldermen Sir
Chapman Marshall and John Johnson, &c.
The grand jury having been sworn,
The RICORDIAIt addressed them, and said that he was
glad to find the calendar was lighter than usual, and that
it contained a comparatively small number of charges.
There were two cases of false coining, three of forgery,
one of feloniously wounding an ass, two of cutting and
wounding, and two of concealing the birth of children.
With regard to the latter charge, he thought the grand
jury would do well to leave it in a course for further in-
quiry. There was a charge against two foreigners for
wounding with a razor ; there was but one razor, and he
thought it would be proved satisfactorily that but one
made use of it in the commission of the act. There was
also a charge against a postmaster for embezzling a let-
ter which had been entrusted to him. He thought it
unnecessary to draw their attention to any of the other
charges, and would therefore dismiss them to their duties.
There were altogether 91 prisoners.

THE IRON TRADE.

The iron trade of South Staffordshire is, we are
happy to say, in a most prosperous condition at the
present time, the demand for all descriptions of iron
being unusually great, and the stocks which have
been held on speculation being nearly all absorbed by
the anticipated demand for the new lines of railway.
Although the Board of Trade seem determined to
weed the different projects with an unsparing hand,
yet the extent to which they will be sanctioned by
the Legislature, justifies the opinion generally enter-
tained by the most extensive ironmasters, that a great
increase will be called for to supply this demand. In
anticipation of such a state of things, several large
works, which have been for a long time standing
still, are gradually getting into operation throughout
the district, and we are happy to say that the work-
men are likely to partake in the prosperity of the
trade by the advance of their wages. On the whole,
without being led away by expectations which might
seem to be fully borne out by the present aspect
of things, we think we may safely congratulate
those immediately engaged in, and dependent on, this
important branch of our national industry, on the
prospect of steady improvement which the opening of
the new year presents. Indeed, so brisk has every
department of the trade become throughout the South
Staffordshire district, that the masters have, within
the last few days, advanced their prices 10s. per ton,
thus raising the value of iron to the same standard as
before the recent fall. The Welsh trade has also par-
taken of a similar improvement, and is considerably
advanced. In connection with the prosperity of the
staple manufacture of the district, our readers will be
glad to learn that the American trade is also brisk,
although the same activity does not exist that pre-
vailed a few months back. From information, how-
ever, that we have obtained from the best sources, we
believe a good trade may be calculated on during the
spring. The election of Mr. Polk is regarded as
rather favourable than otherwise to British manufac-
tures, but no change is anticipated in the existing
tariff.—Birmingham Journal.

HAMMERSMITH.

'TIE ALLEGED ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIOAT OF TIIE
DUKE OF NORMANDY.—Late on Friday afternoon, the
Duke of Normandy, who was accompanied by three
of the officers of his household, entered the court and
requested to have an interview with Mr. Clive, the
sitting Magistrate, on the subject of the late alleged
attempt to assassinate the Duke, at his residence,
Mulgrave House, Fulham, on the evening of Thurs-
day last.
Inspector Shepherd, V division, then made some
private communication to Mr. Clive, who, accom-
panied by Mr. Nichols, the clerk, proceeded into the
Magistrate's private room, followed by the Duke and
Inspector Shepherd, where they remained in consulta-
tion for upwards of an hour, after which the Duke,
&c., left the court by the private door, without the
result of the application being made known.
On Mr. Clive re-entering the court he appointed
Inspector Shepherd to meet him at the 'Wandsworth
Police-court, at half-past twelve o'clock on the fol-
lowing day, when he said he would accompany him
to Mulgrave-house for the purpose of making an exa-
mination of the premises.
On Saturday, between one and two o'clock, Mr.
Clive, accompanied by Superintendent Bicknell, V
division, Mr. Nichols, Inspector Shepherd, and In-
spector Haynes (Detective Force), made an examina-
tion of the premises, which lasted nearly an hour,
during which they inspected the apartments in which
the Duke was at the time, and through which the ball
passed, and also the
_flattened bullet which had been
found in the garden.
Mr. CLIVE, on leaving, directed the police to use
their utmost endeavours to get all the evidence they
could in the case, and to bring the witnesses on as
early a day as .possible in the ensuing week to this
court, when a searching inquiry will be made into the
circumstances connected with the mysterious affair.

STRANGE STORY.—The letters from Florence men-
tion, an occurrence which is scarcely credible. The
' Countess Z-, of St. Petersburgh, who is known for
the many male enmities she has kindled, and seems to
delight in, had just entered her carriage in order to go
to the promenade ; the horses were about to start, when
perceiving that she had forgotten something at home,
she descended and re-entered her residence ; but she
had scarcely passed the door, when a tremendous ex-
plosion blew the carriage to pieces, and killed the coach-
man. An infernal machine had been introduced into the
body of the carriage. This horrible attempt is imputed
young iLato had Lo ox),picucii-dv
revenged on the celebrated Countess. The corpse of the
poor Coachmen was removed to the Brothers of Mercy!

BOROUGH AND SPITALLFIELDS.
Several vessels having made their passage laden with
Potatoes, the supplies on offer are now rapidly on the in-
crease, yet as many of the large dealers are short of
stock, the demand is somewhat active, at prices varying
from 75s to 95s per ton. The total supply for the week
has amounted to about 2,600 tons-100 tons being from
abroad, 30 tons from Ireland, 400 from Jersey, 200
from Guernsey, 300 from Scotland, the remainder
coastwise.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
There is a large business doing in bags, at very high
prices, while, for choice bags, the demand is active, and
the quotations are steadily supported.

WOOL -
The imports of Wool during the past week have been
only to a moderate extent, viz., 28 bales from the Cape,
211 ditto from Hobart Town, 31 ditto from Malta, 121
ditto from Ibrail, 9 ditto from Madras, and 30 ditto from
Sydney. Both Foreig-a and Colonial qualities are in
sluggish request, but no alteration can be noticed in the
quotations. English Wools are held firmly, at full
prices. rne total imports of Wool last year consisted
of 84,717 bales of Colonial, and 142,324 bales of Foreign.
TALLOW.
There is in reality no material change in this market,
although a slight variation in the quotations. There is
no speculative business doing; the prices are wholly go.
verned by the demand for consumption, which, for the
last few weeks has exceeded that of the corresponding
period last year. All the St. Petersburgh Tallow has
arrived, and is included in the stock of this day. Town
Tallow is 40s 6d to 42s nett cash ; rough fat 2s 4d
per Blbs.
