The result of the blunders committed in allowing the Burmese soldiers at Ava and Mandalay to leave en masse with their swords, in delaying the despatch of troops to the out districts after the capture of Mandalay, and in the mistaken policy of continuing the Tynedah in office are now felt. Serious disorder prevails in every locality not occupied by our troops. Numerous bands of dacoits ravage the country, destroying property and plundering even the Buddhist monasteries. The bands are largely recruited from the disbanded soldiers. The delay in using the troops 0.

We have no better roport to give of the tone of our local pig iron market, the heavy incubns in the shape of atocka having very depressing influence. There has in no previous year been anvthing like such a stock as 517,000 tons and that of Cleveland pigs alone in this district, nd there is naturally a fear that wSI not for a considerable time be allowed to aoV vance much above their present leTel, ft directly there ia any rise this stocked iron will be pat upon the market It is now generally expected that the ironmasters will take some action in the way of further restricting the output, and till something definite is known in this direction we may look for the market being quiet.

Consumers and merchants, in view of tins, have almost ceased to buy forward, and will not offer higher iod places. Advt. Appoint mb't of Collector op Customs jg Middlebbbouoh. Mr W. R.

Mr Harrison defended, the claim being resisted on the ground that plaintiff instead of going to the lodge doctor, engaged an independent medical man. The matter had been submitted to arbitration, and an award given in favour of plaintiff, which defendant contended had been complied with. Plaintiff, however, maintained that the arbitration included the sum for which he now sued. His Honour adjourned his decision for the production of one of the arbitrators. A Tramp Demanding Money.

Bernard's assumption of the civil government his policy has been judicious, and his measures have done much to restore public confidence. The removal of the Tynedah and the recall of Kinwoon Mengyee from Rangoon have caused the liveliest satisfaction alike to Europeans and Burmese. Trade was greatly disorganized by the refusal of the puolic departments to receive Burmese peacock rupees. Merchants then adopted the same course, and Upper Bur mah was left almost without any circulating medium. M.

Bernard, on his arrival, ordered peacock rupees to be received by the public departments at the full value. The actual loss to the State will be trifling, and will be repaid ten-fold by the restoration of public confidence aud increase of trade. December 31st. Some anxiety is felt for the troops at Montshebo. They were 400.

Fatal Railway Accident at Bishop Auckland. Last night as the last passenger train from Durham was passing through the Bondgate tunnel, Bishop Auckland, the driver felt a shock, and on arriving at the station he found a man's hat on the front of his engine. Railway policeman Dodds proceeded back over the line, and found a man lying dead in the tunnel, and had him removed to the Workhouse, where he was identified this morning as James donors of gifts. Accident at the Priestgate Mill, Darlington. A youth named Samuel Stevenson died at the Darlington Hospital yesterday from the effects of injuries received at the mills of Messrs Clarke and Co, Priestgate, on Monday last.

Through some disarrangement of the belting on which the hoist runs the latter was set off in a swift lowering motion.

A severe gale and heavy snowstorm prevailed at Hexham this morning. A terrible gale prevailed at Sunderland during last night, and much property has been damaged. A most serious accident occurred at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Presbytery, where a heavy stack of chimneys waa blown down and fell through the roof into the bedroom. The back portion of the house was wrecked, and the roof of another building was damaged.

About warrants there is nothing particular to be said, except that the quantity of iron going into store is increasing very considerably, over 5,000 tons having been sent into Oonnal's during the last week. No change in the finished iron trade, save that the works are running a little better this week. But in the steel trade prospects are bright and healthy, and good orders are iu hand at all the works, especially where ship plates are made. SOCIALISM IRELAND.
