QUARTER TO THREE.

There are rather satisfactory accounts from
the manufacturing districts to-day, and .it is pro-
bable that we are gradually progressing to-
wards a better state of 'things. Money here,
in the London market, has fluctuated to some extant
lately, but on the whole we now call it easy. It is clear the
private bankers are in a safe and unembarrassed position,
as they have been the chief takers of the heavy amount of
stock, in all more than one million sterling, sold in a few
days by the Government broker. It is supposed too,
that the Provincial Banks are less straitened than they
were, the partial run upon them in some districts having
ceased.

SNOW STORM, DETENTION OF THE MAILS.—
The weather, during the whole of the past week, has
been exceedingly severe. The frost, which sot in with
unusual keenness, continued with unabated severity until
Thursday, and yesterday morning our streets were
covered with snow to a depth of two or three
inches. The Carlisle mail failed to arrive, and
we then entertained no doubt that the snow must
have been unusually heavy at both extremities of the
county. About five o'clock in the afternoon the mail
from the north, by way of Carlisle, arrived, being two
hours after its time, and we then learned that the. Lon-
don mail had been five hours behind its time in reaching
Carlisle, though we could not ,ascertain on what part of
the road the principal interruption had taken place. The
Ulverston mail 4 which is due about half-past ten in the
morning, has not yet arrived, although, at the time we
write, it is three o'clock on Saturdays morning.— White-
haven Herald.
CHURCH-RATES.—MONITION.--Last week,
twenty-four inhabitants of,Headcorn were summoned
to Bearstead Petty Sessions, for non-payment of a
Church-rate made by the minority in vestry on a mo'
nition. Mr. Boykett attended for the defendants.
Proof of the making of the rate after it had been re-
fused by 33 to 14, was put in. Mr. Boykett said it
was much to be regretted that the minister and
churchwardens of a parish so small, and, compara-
tively, so poor, as that of Headcorn, should have deter-
mined to try the question (if, indeed, they had so deter-
mined) of the power of a minority of parishioners to
make a Church-rate in opposition to the vote of the

majority ; and hoped that the Bench would deem it ex-
pedient to adjourn the further consideration of these
summonses until a decision of the Courts bad been ob-
tained'on the Braintree and Bradford cases. The Court
refused. Mr. Boykett then put in a formal objection to
the validity of the rate; and the cases were consequently
dismissed, to be taken to the Ecclesiastical Court.—
Essex Herald.

1 —The 13th Light Dragoons left this town oil
Friday last, on their route for Windsor. They, in can-
junction with various other regiments, are destined to
form a guard of honour to the King of Prussia $n his
arrival. The stay of the 13th, it is understood, will be
protracted for a month, or at least during the sojourn of
the distinguished visitors to the Queen. Should the
weather prove favourable, a grand review, with its bril-
lien and exciting accessories, will be held in Windsor
Great Park, in honour of the King and the other dis-
tinguished visitors to her Majesty.--Ipswich Express.
