STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 13.—A fair
average business has been done in foreign wools this
week, and prices continue very firm.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 13.—We have
no material alteration in the prices of wool this week,
the sales being much as usual.
LEEDS.—There has been rather less business done in
heavy winter goods this week, but shawls and fancy
cloakings in good patterns have been in brisk demand.
Heavy tweeds have also been much inquired for; on the
whole the market may be rated at a fair average for the
season. Prices are about the same, and the stocks in
the Halls are very low. In the warehouses there has
not been quite so much business done as for the last few
weeks, but it is expected that sales will be more lively
towards the end of the present month.
BRADFORD MARKET, TRURSRAT.—The home mer-
chants have been active to-day, the foreign merchants
not so, but upon the whole we think there has been a
fair business done, but not equal to some former years
at this season. We cannot learn that there is any alte-
ration either in demand or prices of yarn since our last
week's repOrt. The dullness complained of in wool for
several weeks past still continues, nor can we learn that
the stock in the market is on the decrease. Prices are
tolerably firm, which is occasioned by the fact that no
new stock can be had from the growing districts on
more favourable terms than those on which they are
now held.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EYNNING.—Things have
been rather drooping in our cloth market this week, and
that for moat descriptions ; and as the commercial news
has not transpired by the delivery of letters, little can be
hazarded for the future as to the goods adapted for those
markets till the contents are known. Our home trade
is most satisfactory, so far as demand can make it so ;
and our printers and dyers were never more busy. The
opinion is becoming general that wages throughout the
cotton district will be advanced. Yarns are without de-
cided change, but, an immense business is doing.—Leeds
Mercury.

THE LATE FATAL COLLISION IN

THE IRISH CHANNEL.

With reference to the loss of the brig Parana, which
was run down by the steamer Iron Duke on Tuesday
morning, an account of which has been published in
The Sun, the Dublin Evening Mail publishes the fol-
lowing :
" We subjoin a particular account of the accident.
The letter is addressed to Mr. Howell, the Secretary of
the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, by the
agent in Liverpool. " Liverpool, Sept. 10.
" Dear Sir,—lt is with sincere regret I have to in-
form you the Iron Duke came in contact this morning,
about 10 minutes past 12, when off Puffin Island, with a
brig, the Parana, Wilson, for Montreal, and run her
down ; six hands, including the captain, perished. I
understand there was a boy belonging to Dublin, of the
name of Crawford, on board of her.

" The Duke appears to have struck her right stem on,
and must have cut her nearly in two. Th• brig went
down immediately, a few minutes only intervening from
the time she was first seen to the time she was struck
and sunk.

" The Duke appears to have sustained comparatively
little damage ; her bowsprit is gone, a plate on her lar-
board bow stove in, which caused the force compartment
to fill with water ; her cutwater bent, and her engine
damaged.
" ' 1 cannot learn that any further damage has been
sustained all seems as tight and
.firm as the first day
she started. _ _ _

" The bulkhead shows the value of adopting such
precautions, for it is very probable that had she not had
them she would have gone down.
" The Duke was put en the gridiron to see whether
all was right, but as it will be more convenient to hare
her in the graving dock, she will go in to-morrow, no
time being lost to repair the damage with all possible
dispatch.
" I hare had all the crew who could say anything
about the accident, with Mr. North, for him to take their
depositions. All concur in stating the brig had no light
up, the only light on board being that in the cabin.
" One cause, and, perhaps, the chief one, assigned
on board the Duke for not being able to see the brig
is, that the vessel was going right before the wind,
with the smoke thick before them, and it was only
when she came within five or six lengths of herself
that the brig was seen. Our look-out man, a most in-
telligent fellow, passed the word immediately " Sail right
a-head," when the second mate, whose watch it
was, cried out to the man at the helm " Fort, port—
hard a-port," a seaman running aft to assist
at the same time. The mate, almost in the same breath,
called out to the engineer "Stop her, reverse," and while
the engines were being reversed she struck her. The
first mate came up instantly, and when he saw the brig
was sicking fast he called out " Stop her, go on-a-head,"
by which they providentially saved one or two men.
Captain Williams, too, was immediately on deck, and all
appears to have been done which could be done under
the unfortunate circumstances, as to putting the boats
out to look after the crew of the sunken ship, and rowing
about the place for nearly an hour.—Yours truly,
" J. K. ROUNTH WAITE.

WOOLWICH, FRIDAY.

RETURN OF THE BLACK EAGLE STEAM-VESSEL.+

It will be recollected that, in the description of the
royal progress, the Black Eagle steam-vessel, under
the command of Captain the Earl of Hardwicke, was
stated to be several miles astern of the royal yacht
on reaching the Nore. On proceeding to sea, Cap-
tain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence made signals for the
Black Eagle to advance, and delayed the progress of
the royal steam yacht until both were opposite each
other. His Lordship then made signals to start both
at the same time, to ascertain which of the vessels
would first reach Dundee. The Black Eagle soon
showed her superiority over the royal yacht as a
sea-going steamer, having gained three miles in six
hours against her fast opponent. The Black Eagle
continued a-head at the same rate throughout the
voyage, and consequently was the first to reach the
Frith of Tay and Dundee. The Black Eagle re-
turned to Woolwich shortly before ten o'clock this
forenoon, under the command of Captain the Earl of
Hardwicke.

MILITARY FLOGGlNG.—Yesterday morning, at a
quarter to seven o'clock, the troops were mustered on
the garrison parade to hear the proceedings of a
general court-martial read against -two gunners of
the Royal Regiment of Artillery, named Smith and
, the crimes alleged against them being, that
of striking a non-commissioned officer of the same
regiment whilst in the' execution of his duty; also,
desertion, selling, beir regimental necessaries, and
rubbing a comrade. The prisoners were found guilty
of the charges preferred against them, and were sen-
tenced to receive one hundred and fifty lashes each,
the finding of which sentence her Majesty finally ap-
proved of. The troops were then marched off to the
rear of the Royal Artillery barracks, where the un-
fortunate men were ordered to strip, and were then
tied up to the triangles, and the horrors of the scene
commenced. The unfortunate culprits received the
number awarded them without imploring mercy,
though their sufferings were truly awful to behold.
The men were then conveyed to the Ordnance Medi-
cal Hospital to be cured. A number of other gun-
ners of the Royal Artillery, who had been tried by
court-martial for offences, were sentenced to various
terms of imprisonment in the Penitentiary, and were
marched off under escort for that destination.

ENGLISH AND FOREIGN RAILWITS.—III the evi
dente before the Select Committee of last session, Mr.
Laing, of the Board of Trade, stated that the average
railway charges in Belgium, for 100 miles, are for the
first, second, and third-classes respectively, 10s., 7s. 6d.,
and 4s. Bd. ; in Germany, 125., Bs. 6d., and ss. 6d. ; in
France, 155., 10s., and Bs. 6d. ; and in England, 255..
175., and 10s. As one cause of the comparatively high
rate in Englund, he states that the average cost of rail-
ways in this country is three or four times that of the
German lines ; double that of the Belgian, and greater
by one-half than the cost of the French. Mr. Laing is
of opinion that the advantage is in favour of the Eng-
lish in regard to speed ; but that in point of accommo-
dation the second and third-class passengers in Belgium,
and on the Continent generally, have the decided advan-
tage over those of the same classes in England.—Railway

PREVENTION OF INFECTION FROM TYPHUS FEVER.
—Dr. J. C. Smith obtained 5,0001. from Parliament for
the following receipt :—Take six drachms of powdered
nitre (saltpetre) and six drachms of sulphuric acid (oil of
vitriol), mix them in a teacup. By adding one drachm
of the oil at a time, a copious discharge of nitrous acid
gas will take place. The cup to be placed, during the
preparation, on a list hearth, or plate of heated iron, and
the mixture stirred with a tobacco pipe. The quantity
of gas may be regulated by lessening or increasing the
quantity of ingredients. The above is for a moderate-
sized room ; half the quantity would be sufficient fur a
small room. Avoid as much as possible breathing the
gas when it first rises from the vessel. No injury to the
lungs will happen when the air is impregnated with the
gas, which is called nitrous acid gas, and it cannot be
too widely known that it posseses the property of pre-
venting its !Tread.
AWFUL THUNDER•STORIL—On Thursday, the sth
instant, St. Austell and its surrounding neighbourhood
were visited by a severe thunder-storm, which came on
about noon ;, but there was an appearance of thunder at
a distance for some hours before. The thunder was
loud, the lightning vivid, and the storm, which appeared
to come from the south-east, continued until about
four o'clock, when it passed away in the opposite
direction. The electric fluid struck a dwelling-house
at Tregonissey, about a mile distant from St. Austell,
occupied by a man named Richard Rowett, and in its
course went through the roof, destroyed the wood
work of a bed, and then passed to the ground floor,
where it destroyed the clock, set fire to a rush mat
at the bottom of the stairs, and so severe was
the shock, that it threw down and smashed all the
earthenware that stood on the dressers. It then made

its way through the window, destroying all the glass,
except two squares, which remained unhurt, struck the
pig-sty, and killed the pig, which was worth about forty
shillings. Rowett, who has a wife and two children,
was at his work, his wife and the oldest child were in
the garden, a little distance from the house, and the
youngest child was in a cradle in the kitchen. They all
escaped unhurt ; but a man who was looking out of the
doorway of an adjoining barn was thrown to the'ground
on his face, and stunned, but received no further in-
jury. Some kind friend has drawn up a brief for the
poor man, which he is now taking round among a few
persons, to help him to restore his loss, which is esti-
mated to be about 124 West Briton.

IRE 1.-A-ND.
NATIONAL BANQUET TO MR. O'CONNELL.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 12:—The dinner to Mr. O'Con-
nell and his late fellow-prisoners, is to take place at
the Music-hall, Abbey-street, on Thursday, the 19th
instant. William Smith O'Brien, M.P., is to preside.
The entertainment will be upon A splendid scale.
Already several hundred tickets have been issued,
many of them to gentlemen residing in distant parts
of the country. Most of the mayors and leading
members of the Irish corporations are to attend. The
Roman Catholic prelates have been invited, and it is
stated that invitations will also be forwarded to the
Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Miltown, Lords
Stourton and Ffrench, Mr. T. Duncombe M.P., Mr.
Serle (brother-in-law to the Earl of Shrewsbury),
and Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham.
POPULAR REJOICINGS.
The provincial papers received this morning con-
tain additional accounts of public rejoicings for the
release of Mr. O'Connell. No public event ever pro-
duced more general joy. In the remotest districts
the people regard the reversal of the judgment as a
great triumph for themselves, and they rejoice ac-
cordingly.

LORVFORTESCITE.—At Somerville, in this county,
the house of this nobleman was illuminated on Friday
night, awl the noble Lord himself caused a large
bonfire to be lighted ! This is another sign of the
times.— Waterford Chronicle.
THE ARMY FORTIFICATIONS.
LIMERICK, NVDNESDAY.—Major-General Lord
Downes will embark to-morrow, in the Flamer, Com-
mander Postle, to inspect the fortifications in the
river, and to visit the Cyclops steam-ship, Captain
Lapidge, at Tarbert. Captain Gierson's company of
the 15th Regiment left this yesterday for Caher
Castle, with Lieutenant Wilkinson and Ensign
Walmsley, to be there stationed, in relief of Captain
Clarke's company, 77th, which returns to Clonmel.
Four companies of the 15th Regiment in this garri-
son are held in readiness for country detachment, it
is supposed to replace an equal force of the 30th.
FRIGHTFUL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.
The Castlebar Telegraph contains the following
melancholy statement :—About three months ago a
boy named Michael Colerare, aged twelve years, and
son to a tenant of George Moon, Esq., Moore
went out to herd some sheep that were grazing in his
father's field at Millerhill, near the abbey of Ballin-
tubber. On getting into the field, the boy perceived
a large dog attacking a sheep ; he went to drive it off,
but the dog, which was raging mad, flew at, and bit
him in the hand. The boy immediately ran home
and told his mother of the occurrence. She being
under the impression that sea-bathing would prevent
any evil consequences, brought him without• delay to
the salt water, and besides making him bathe, caused
him to drink of it plentifully. At length, the wound
on his hand being healed, both the boy and his mother
returned home. There were no symptoms of any
bad effects from the bite until last Sunday week,
when the boy, while attending mass at the Abbey of
Ballintubber, suddenly felt a thrilling sensation
run from his hand to the shoulder, as if
he had struck his elbow against the wall.
The painful thrill continued to extend until it had
soon spread itself over his entire frame. The
boy became conscious himself that he was in-
fected by hydrophobia ; yet he was at intervals col-
lected in his intellect, during which time he received
from the Rev. E. O'Malley the sacrament of confes-
sion. He told the clergyman that he could not en-
dure the appearance of any liquid, that his chest was
internally burning with a fierce heat ; but that if a
wheaten straw were got, and one end of it immersed
in a vessel of water concealed from his view, he might
contrive to drink it through the tube of the straw.
This was accordingly prepared; but each drop of the
liquid he imbibed was received (judging by the heavy
agitation of his chest) as if it had been burning lead.
Excepting the convulsed horror he evinced on the
appearance or idea of any liquid, he continued sen-
sible for a long time, and told his mother that he was
aware he would soon die ; that he would get violent,
and to tie him, lest he should do any injury, but not
to bleed him to death, as had been done in the village
about twelve months previously to another person
affected with hydrophobia. At length the madness
reached its crisis, black froth and curdled blood
foamed from his mouth, and he died in an awful
paroxysm of violence and excitement."

TUE- FRENCH IN ALGERIA.
ORA N, Auo. 20. —The expeditionary column of the
French army is still at Ouehda, the frontier town of
Morocco on the north-east ; Marshal Bugeaud, who
commands this column, is still there. No events of im-
portance have transpired since I last wrote to you. The
total force of the Marshal's column is 501 officers, 19,490
men, 3,824 horses, and 1,365 mules. This includes the
whole of the two regiments of cavalry which have been
so long arriving. I think these two regiments were six
weeks getting from Port Vendres to gran. With this
force it is quite impossible the Marshal can march to
Fez ; and if no reinforcements arrive, the Marshal will
with great difficulty be able to maintain his present posi-
tion, with his sick daily and hourly increasing. There
are, however, besides, the camps of Sebdon, Lalla
Maghrania, and Gemmia-el-Ghazaouat, which alto-
gether could muster perhaps 25,000 or 26,000 men ;
but troops cannot be drawn from those places without
leaving the country exposed and defenceless. A proof
of which is, that a few days ago the poor Arabs who
had been razziaed near Sebdon, like so many famished
wolves, came down and fell upon- SO French soldiers
who were pasturing sheep and bullocks, killed 15,
wounded the rest, and carried off the booty. None can
deny the justice of this retribution. It was not the rob-
bers robbed, but the spoilers spoiled righteously. Not-
withstanding the small number of the expeditionary co-
lumn, it is confidently reported " that the Marshal will
proceed to Fez in October," but of course with the ne-
cessary reinforcements. ,First of all, however, Marshal
Bugeaud will return to Algiers to attend to the civil af-
fairs of the colony. The new Directeur de t Interieur
arrived—here yesterday, on his way to visit, or meet, the
Marshal. Some important measures are about to be
taken for the improvement of the civil affairs of the co-
lony, which are now, and always have been, in a very
bad state.

The health of the civil population of this place is sa-
tisfactory enough ; but Algiers is in a very precarious
state. Without great caution, people are suddenly
seized with fevers—they know not why nor wherefore.
It is a remarkable fact, however, that before the arrival
of the French, disease, except the ordinary casualties of
life, was almost unknown. It is certainly a well-ascer-
tained fact, that there is no such thing as periodic mala-
dies (as now in Algeria) in the neighbouring country of
Morocco.

In the moment of closing my letter I learnt that the
Marshal has suspended hostilities on the frontier, and
that something like a truce had been agreed upon be-
tween the son of the Emperor, Sidi Mohammed, and
Marshal Bugeaud. This news was brought by the Co-
lonel of the Spahis and some Arabs. •
The Marshal will embark immediately at Gemmaa-el-
Ghazaouat for Oran, and may be expected here to•
morrow or next day.
We may imagine that the late defeat of the Moors,
and the critical position of the Marshal at this season,
have equally lead to this result of suspending hostilities.
All the merchant-ships here are put in request for the
carriage of provisions to the camp, via Gemmita-el- Gha-
zaouat. A good number of the cavalry is to be quar-
tered near this place until the new operations, expected
to commence again in October.
Can the Arabs understand a truce ? Will it not be
soon broken ?

SEPTEMBER 3.
Marshal Bugeaud arrived early this morning from
Gemmaa-el-Ghazaouat. He leaves this evening for
Algiers.
Ouchda has been evacuated. The camp of Lalla
Dfaghrania, which is well fortified, is now the head-
quarters of the French on the frontiers of Morocco.
This camp, it must not be forgotten, is, however, on the
disputed territory. General Bedeau commands here
with a few thousand men, perhaps 6,000. Marshal
Bugeaud, who has really retreated from the frontier, has
formed a camp of 8,000 men at Geramia-el-Ghazaouat,
and has given the command to General de Lamoriciare.
The camp is situate on the sea shore, and it is intended
that the men shall endeavour to recruit their health and
spirits here by bathing, &c., waiting the result of nego-
tiations. It appears, however, that the enemy has dis-
appeared from their frontier, so that it were almost mad-
ness to stay there and kill off the men, the Marshal not
having sufficient force to march into the interior of Mo-
rocco.

The Spahis of Oran are to be reinforced by those of
Algiers ; but beyond this we hear nothing of reinforce-
ment—nothing of the arrival of fresh troops from
France. We may now, then, conclude the campaign on
the frontiers of Morocco to be ended until October, when,
if things are not arranged, we may suppose the Marshal
intends returning, and making another demonstration on
the Moorish territory, or of marching upon Fez. In the
meanwhile, we cannot say that the French will not be
again attacked.
I have, nevertheless, in a letter written to you, via
Gibraltar, stated that the French were the real and bona
ft

'de aggressors in this campaign. They went upon the
disputed territory and excited the Moors, and I have no
doubt when the passions of the people of Europe are
sufficiently calmed down, I shall be able to convince them
_. • -
of this statement.

I wish you would also have the Christian charity to
remind the apologists of the Gaizot Ministry that there
is equally a war party in Morocco, and that, like Louis
Philippe, who cannot, it would seem, control this fierce
element, Muley Abderrabman is obliged to get up a war
to please and gratify his pugnacious subjects. We
might, however, abstain from observations of this sort,
if Louis Philippe's people only damaged their own coun-
try and interests. But the feeding of the voracious
appetite of the war party must inflict an injury upon all
Europe.
Now comes the most serious affair. We have given
you the victories ; you must now have the drawbacks—
ah, horrid drawbacks. And yet I know not what would
become of mankind were it not for such drawbacks.
They cure men of war.
Yesterday 500 sick came from Gemmtla el-Ghazaouat.
The poor fellows were dried up with the sun like Egyp-
tian mummies. The greater pat of these miserable
beings must inevitably perish. They formed a dreadful
train of sixty waggons. In a day or two 600 more sick
are expected from Tlemcen. The hospital of Oran is
the receiving hospital of all the province. Every camp
of course has its hospital. Here, then, we have 1,100
sick all at once thrown in upon us ! The number of
deaths during this Moorish campaign has been also ex-
ceedingly great.
Thus, though the French may have lost only one-
sixth of killed and wounded in the battle of Isly which
the Moors lost, they will lose now by sickness and
disease six times the number which the Moors are re-
ported to have lost. And so it is in all the campaigns of
.Africa. And this it is which renders the French war
in Algeria really a dreadful war, and, if not without
honour, at any rate without profit, and without any
prospect of good to the human race in this part of the
world.— Times.

HOW to LIVE on NINE SHILLINGS

A WEEK.

Every man's income is limited more or less ; and
he must limit his expenditure accordingly. Thus, he
may be forced to content himself with a house of a
rent not exceeding 2,0001. a year, with no greater
number of servants than a dozen, with six horses and
no more; with but two carriages ; with turtle, venison,
champagne, and burgundy, only now and then ; with
a middling box at the Opera, and so on. 9s. a week
is a decidedly limited income. To live upon it a man
must first cut down his expenditure to the fewest
possible branches, and secondly, apply the closest
shaving to each. They can hardly be reduced below
three—food, clothes, and lodging ; but if anybody
could do without one of these, the difficulty would be
much simplified. As to lodging. The cheapest to be
had must be chosen : the more unpleasant the situa-
tion the better, as the rent will then be more reason-
able. A roadside hovel, or a ruinous old house up a
court, may be recommended. A single room, how-
ever small, must suffice for a whole family, however
large. Chairs, tables, bedsteads, and other moveables,
may be dispensed with ; the entire furniture should
consist of a few blankets and some straw ; and the
blankets ought to be begged. Coals and candles are
too expensive; and it is extravagant to have any fire
at all, except to cook a few potatoes, or to avoid being
frozen to death. With regard to clothes. These
must be obtained, if possible, through charity; there
is another way of getting them, which it would be
hardly right to hint at. By a proper economy they
may be made to last till they fall to pieces, which
they will not altogether do for years. If it is neces-
sary to buy clothes, they must be bought ; but the
purchase should only include indispensables. Shirts
and stockings are superfluities; and the younger
children may always, and the..whold family at times,
manage to do without shoes. Food must be con-
fined, in general, to bread and potatoes; but perhaps,
with managment, a little bacon may be indulged in
now and then. It will be out of the question to
think of any other drink than the plain water; and
tea and sugar are luxuries not to be dreamt of. By
following the above rules it is perhaps possible to live
honestly on 9s. a week, with a wife and family.
Medical attendance is out of the question. What are
called comforts must be considered unattainable; for
any man, even though starving and perishing, to help
himself to a meal, a handful of wood, or anything of
the kind, is highly immoral ; the law respects not
persons but property, and severely visits such wicked-
ness.—Punch.

PUNCH'S CHARGE TO JURIES.
Gentlemen of the Jury,—You are sworn in all
cases to decide according to the evidence; at the
same time, if you have any doubt, you are bound to
give the prisoner the benefit of it. Suppose you have
to pronounce on the guilt or innocence of a gentle-
man accused of felony. You will naturally doubt
whether any gentleman would commit such offences ;
accordingly, however strong may be the testimony
against him, you will, perhaps, acquit him. The
evidence of your owe senses is, at least, as credible as
that of the witnesses ; if, therefore, your eyesight
convinces you that the prisoner is a well-dressed
person, you have a right to presume his respectability;
and it is for you to say whether a respectable person
would be likely to be guilty of the crimes imputed to
him. In like manner, when you see a shabby-look-
.ing fellow in the dock, charged, for example, with
sheep-stealing, the decision rests with you; first,
whether or not that individual is a ragamuffin ; and,
secondly, how far it is probable that a man of that
description would steal sheep. Of course, as has been
before said, you will always be guided by the evi-
dence ; but then, whether the evidence is trustworthy
or not is a matter for your private consideration.
You may believe it if you choose, or you may dis-
believe it; and whether, gentlemen of the jury, you
will believe it or disbelieve it, will depend on the con-
stitution of your minds. If your minds are so con-
stituted that you wish to find the prisoner guilty,
perhaps you will believe it; if they happen to be so
constituted that you desire to find him not guilty—
why then, very likely, you will disbelieve it. You
are to free your minds from all passion and prejudice,
if you can, and, in that case, your judgment will be
unbiassed; but if you cannot, you will return a
verdict accordingly. It is not, strictly speaking,
for you to consider what will be the effect of your
verdict; but if such a consideration should occur to
you, and you cannot help attending to it, that verdict
will be influenced by it to a certain extent. You
are probably aware, that when you retire, you will be
locked up till you contrive to agree. You may arrive
at unanimity by fair discussion, or by some of you
starring out the others, or by tossing up ; and your
conclusion, by whichever of these processes arrived at,
will be more or less in accordance with your oaths.
Your verdict may be right; it is to be hoped it will;
it may be wrong; it is to be hoped it will not. At all
events, gentlemen of the jury, you will come to some
conclusion or other ; unless it should so happen that
you separate without coming to any.—Punch.
