ALireIH Time Ahead.

There seems to be getting up quite a
little animation among ''the Skates. II
seems that a new roller skate has been In
vented in Montgomery, Ala, which the
proprietors speak of introducing here
where the Plimpton roller has been SO sue
cessful. The proprietors of the PImpton
insist that the Montgomery is an infringe
ment of their patent, hence they have EN-
ployed some of the ablest lawyers in the
State to bring suit in the United States
Court, against not only the proprietors of
the Montgomery if they introduce it here,
but also against every man, woman and
child who uses that skate in rink or out
of it, or rather against every man, the hus-
band of every wife and the father of every
minor. So if the Montgomery party will
come along, we are likely to have a very
lively time at least among the LAWYERS

Election of Directors.

The annual election of Directors for the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad will be
held at the office of the company to-day,

This road has never, since its construction,
been in so prosperous and furnishing a

sumo that the selection of Directors to-day

in the future management Of the road as
their predecessors have been in the past.

aspirants for Office, and their friends, who

The New York Erpress of the 9Th inst.
says:
The Liverpool failures affect the New
Orleans banks, as well as some bankers
here. The specie shipments to-day were
increased IN consequence of these failures,
as some OF the bankers were DESTROYS of
strengthening their correspondents in Eng
land. The New Orleans banks and our
brokers here will simply have to nurse the
cotton market at Liverpool in order to
save themselves from heavy loss. One Of
the New Orleans banks was mentioned on
the street as a sufferer to the extent of
ESQ, 900 sterling, but we hardly think the
actual loss will be anything like this
amount.
correspondent of the New Orleans
PtcGyu'ae thus speaks of the Bank of Eng
land:
There has been considerable talk on the
street about the Bank of EDgland-whether
there is any danger of that institution sus-
pending? Not at present certainly; nor
do l regard such a result as at all within
the range of probability.
In the war or out of the war, the Bank
of England will not suspend. She will put
her rate to 25 per cent, and break every
merchant and banker in England before
she will disgrace herself by suspension.

Nashville Provision Market.

The market closed quiet but firm at our
quotations. The business for the week has
been confined to the filing of small orders
for the Southern market, principally for
heavy clear sides. Joints are in good local
demand with light stocks of choice that are
free of shippers. Refined lard is in limited
supply, and is in fair request from the city
trade at current figures. Canvased hams
are, as usual at this season of the year, in
demand, and the stocks are wholly made
quate, particularly of fancy brands, such as
the celebrated &c. G. c." to supply the
trade for any great length of time. Bulk
meats are entirely exhausted, hence we
omit quotations for that class of the hog
product.
The receipts from the country have been
heavy for some time, though for the past
day or two there has been manifest
falling of. We quote:
BAooN-Clear sides Isle; shoulders 153c;
country hams 10000, all packed.
CHOICE HAMs-Hart & Hensley's cele-
brated G. G. G. 25@253c.
