MARKETs. Liverpool, Friday, Novfmber 13. At our market this day. the improvement in money matters had evidently a beneficial influence on the trade. Good using wheat met a moderate consumptive inquiry, at former rates, holJers being less incline-1 to force sales.

Common American wheat was sold at 2d. per bushel decline. Oats were dull, at late rates. Barley, beans, and peas unaltered. Indian corn was 0L per quarter lower, and the demand chiefly for feeding.

O.itmeal was Hd. per load easier good rough cut being sold at 2tis. per 240 lbs. Flour was difficult to move, at Is. per sack and barrel decline.

Defendant indignantly denied the imputation, and stated that one of Uie trees had been given to him by the bailiff of the estate (this the bailiff confirmed and the others by the plaintiff himself.

His Honour seeing the respectability of the parties, good naturedly inquired "if they hadn't been quarrelling." "Yes, a little bit." Then the" best way was for the de-fendant to pay for the trees, which he said plaintiff had given him, and then he would be under no obligations to him. Verdict for Is. Ch arles Smith v. Robert Garth. Plaintiff is a shoemaker in Kirkby Lonsdale, and defendant resides at Burton-in-Lonsdale.

Action to recover a shoe bill, 6 4s. Id. Defendant paid 2 0s.9d. into court, and disputed the remainder. The bill, though not in the old style of 'clapping a speck on master," and "stitching np missus," seemed nevertheless a family affair.

Defendant's mother had b.en th head of the establishment, and she died afew months ago. Previous to her death she had paid for all, defendant included, though he was an able bodied man of 30 years of age and upwaids. On this event happening, plaintiff not knowing who to look to for payment of hts bill, very naturally selected the only male person about the house, and not receiving payment on demand issued a summons. Defendant, not taking the same vieyv of the subject, but conceiving that to pay for what he had had since his mother's death, was about as much as the law required, paid into court the amount which he so deemed himseif liable to pay, and disputed the remainder His Honour after examining the plaintiff and defendant, and hearing Mr. Pearson for the latter, toM the plaintiff he had sued the wrong person he must proceed against the administrator of the mother.

-Plaintiff replied that he had applied to that gentleman, but he would'nt pay, and had reierred him back again to the defendant. Plaintiff appearing to think he was not getting justice argued resolutely with his honour and Mr. Pearson, who appeared for defendant, that at any rate defendant was liable to pay for his own shoes. His Honour, much amused, endeavoured to convince plaintiff that all would be right in the end he must take the 2 Os 9d. now, sue the administrator for the remainder, and the Court will somehow or other, sooner or later, get at the right person Verdict for the amount paid into court.

Thomas Atkinson v. J. W.Skwart. Debt for saddlery, 3 9s, 8d. Mr.

Pearson, for defendant, admitted the debt' but pleaded that as defendant had made an assignment of all his estate and effects for the benefit of his creditors and plaintiff had refused to come in, he ought to lose his debt. His Honour, remarking on the folly of makin assignments when the Insolvent Court was available" enquired what defendant was doing for a livin Mr' Pearson replied, His Honour Wbv does'nt he work? Mr. Pearson (with a shrug) Because he never learn't. His Honour, inexorably Then the sooner he learns the better, and he can then pay plaintiff his account. Order 6s.

The act relating to the constabulary required a month's notice of action to be served upon the officer tor anything done in the execution of his dutv before the action could be brought this requirement had not been comphed with. Objection allowed, and plaintiff nonsuited. Several other Cases were heard and determined, and an unfortunate defaulter, Grace Rutl ige, was ordered to be committed for 40 days.

Temperance Lecitbe3. Two temperance lectures were delivered by Dr. Lres in the Mechanics' Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday eveuings last, the Maine Law forming the subject of the second lecture. Both displayed the lecturer's usual ability and were well received. SKIPTON.

Surveyors of Barnoldswick The surveyors of the abore village on Saturday last, preferred a charge of encroaching on highways in the streets of Barnoldswick, against the executors of the will of the late Thomas Hudson. After a very lengthy investigation of the matter, the trustees agreed to remove the encroachment complained of by the surveyors. Cruelty to an Old Man. At the Skipton Magis trates' Court on Saturday last, Joseph Bullock, tn old man in the employ of Mr. Roundhill, Glidston Hall, sought redress at the hands of the bench, for a violent outrage committed upon him by R.

Thornber, who farms under Mr. Roundhill. We gathered on evidence, that some misunderstanding exists between landlord and tenant, and that the farmservant iu obedience to Mr. Roundhill, was repairing a wall on defendant's farm, when Thornber beat him with a rail two yards long. No justification was offered in defence, and a fine of 5 was inflicted.

Gamekeeper at Fault. James Roberts, gamekeeper to Mr. Hopwood, on grounds near Barnoldswsck, met a diminutive tailor named Bullock, on a foot-path, he was conveying a vest home in a handkerchief, when the man in authority asserted he had a written authority from the Queen to search whom he chose; the poor tailor meeklv acquiesced and handed over his bundle, but sought to look at the written document, when he was soundly beaten by the defendant for his impudence. The case was investigated by the magistrates at Skipton, on Saturday last, and a fine of 5 inflicted on defendant. SanitaBy State of Skipton.

This subject was again brought under the attention of the sitting magistrates at the Town Hall, Skipton, on Saturday last, when it vas stated that more than 100 children had died of fever in the town during the present autumn, and that the disease still prevailed in many localities, and yet many of the inhabitants manifested the greatest apathy with reference to the proper drainage of the town. The bench expressed their disapprobation at Mr. Nicholson's conduct, who is steward to Sir Richard Tufton, and forms one of the committee to inspect nuisances, and yet allows property belonging to Sir Richard, in the New Market-street, to remain in a disgraceful state, whilst fever of a malignant kind is raging in the locality. Craves Harriers. The Craven Harriers will meet on Monday the 16th, at the Craven Heifer; on Wednesday the 18th, at Cowper Cote; and on Friday the 19th, Twinden Moor Head.

KENDAL. Mabtinmas Hiring. Monday last was the Martinmas hiring, and a very large number of both male and female servants were at the cross. Female servants were soon hired, at from 3 to JBd for the half-year, but the hiring for male servants was only slack, the farmers refusing to give the prices demanded, consequently the bulk of them remained unhired. The prices, for those that were hired, ranging from 4 to 10, and 11 for the half-year.

Cattle Faib. There was a larger number of ttle on the Banks, on Monday last, than for some yrs past, but not a great demand. Few fat cattle were shown, and those were sold at a decline of 2 per head on our last fortnight fair, and calvers, as well as lean stock, were 2 to 4 per head cheaper than at our spring fair, and not a deal of business done amongst them at that price. The Hobse Faie. The korse fair was held on Tuesday last, and never, in the remembrance of the oldest inhabitant, was there ever a better show of good horses, or a larger number of horses, principally two year to four and for good horses there was a good demand at a decline of 2 to 3 per head on last year's fair.

A young carriage colt, which obtained the premium at the last Kendal Agricultural Show, be longing to Mr. Dixon, of Brundrigg Farm, near Kendal, was sold for 58 and lots of others were sold at 40. ULVERSTON. Inquest. An inquest was held before William Butler, coroner, on Saturday last, touching the death, by burning, of a fine little boy, 14 months old, son of John Viper, Sun street.

Ulverston, currier. Tt was addnced in evidence that the child, in company with a little sister three years old, had been left in the house by the mother on Friday evening, about half past 5 o'clock, the unfortunate child being seated in a small chair, wheu the little girl, in the course of play, lit some pieces of paper which were lying about, placed them under her little brother's chair, and hence the cause of the fatal accident. A neighbour woman hearing the screams of the children rushed into the house and extinguished the flames immediately. Mr. Dickinson, surgeon, was immediately called, was promptly in attendance, and did all his professional skill could suggest tar the little sufferer, but without avail, as the child lingered in great pain only till half-past 12 at noon on the following day, when he expired.

Verdict "Accidental death." Ibok Obe PaonccEo is West Ci mbbrland and Fubness. From the memoirs of the Geological Surrey of Great Britain, by Robert Hunt, F.R.S., we learn that, in 1856, the quantity of iron ore raised in the neighbourhood of Whitehaven was 259,167 tons. Of this 152,875 was shipped at Whitehaven, 65,675 sent away by rail, aud 39,617 tons used at the iron wotks in the district. The destinations of the ore were as follows Wales, 124,630 tons Staffordshire, 26,768 tons Scotland, 15.865 tons; Newcastle, Middlesbro, 51,470 tons; and to Frauce, 817 tons. The quantity of ore raised in Furness during the same period was 464,823 tons, of which 445,013 tons were carried over the Furness Railway and shipped at Barrow, 16,290 on the Ulverston canal, and 3,550 consumed at the Charcoal Iron Furnaces, and at the Low Furness Iron and Steel Works.

Of the ore carried over the Furness line 200,000 tons are sent to Wales, and the remainder to tbe Staffordshire, Cleveland, aud West Riding Iron districts. K1RKBY LONSDALE COUNTY COURT, November 9. (Before T. H. Ingham, Judge.) Attornie8 present: Messrs.

F. Pearson, Eastham, Preston, F. Pearson, and Brown. The cause list complies five adjourned, and twenty-eight new cases; three udgment summonses, and 1 new trial. Johr Tbodghtos i.

James Pabkke. Action to recover a grocery bill of 3 3s. 8d. The case was in part heard at the last court. Defendant disputed the amount, and the plaintiff not having his books in court, the matter was referred to the Registrar.

He now reported that he had examined the accounts, and found 1 4s. lid. only to be due. Stoct v. Pickering.

Adjourned from last court. Mr. Brown, for plaintiff, now demanded to try by jury; be had since Uie last hearing served the Registrar with the usual notice, demanding a jury, but the Registrar conceiving that he had no power after the case had been partially heard, had declined to comply. Mr. Brown now argued that in any stage of a case either party had a right, as of course, to a jury, and he referred to rules 77 and 78.

Mr. Pearson, for defendant, was prepared to meet the argument, but his Honour said the question did not admit of auy doubt. The Registrar had no power, without leave of the court, to summon a jury after a case bad been in part heard. If Mr. Brown chose now to apply, the application would be granted.

Mr. Brown then applied, and his Honur readily assented, notwithstanding a very earnest protest from Mr. Pearson. The case therefore stands adjourned to next court, to be tried by a jury. Joseph Bembam v.

William Robinson. This was an action to recover the alleged value of certain timber trees belonging to plaintiff, and stated to be improperly taken by defendant. Plaintiff bad purchased one timber grewinf upon an estate farmed bj defendant, Mr. Smith, the present tenant of this delightful summer retreat, having during his residence introduced a number of hares on the island, and being now about to leave, gave hU friends several days sport last week with a crack pack of harriers. The runs were of the most exciting character.

Sunday last, Novembers, the annual missionary sermon was preached in Ingle-ton Church by the Rural Dean, the Rev. Mr. Mariner, icar of Clapham. The text selected for the occasion was the verse of the 2d Tsalm. The discourse was appropriate and impressive.

nJ the collection was liberally responded to by a numerous and highly resp it-table audience. Plity Sessions, Ingletox. At these sessions, held on Friday, the Cth instant, before James W. Farrar, the only business before the bench was a few cases of drunkenness, when the parties were each fined 5s. and costs.

Disorderlies. At the County Petit Sessions, on Saturday last, John Parker, of Ellel, was convicted of drunkenness, and fined 5s. and costs. On Thursday John Wright, of George's Quay, weaver, was brought before C. Johnson, Mayor, and other magis-' trates, charged with lying drunk and incapable in one of the streets of the borough.

The case was proved, but in consideration of its being his first offence, he was discharged. CoiTy Court. At the court held on Saturday last, before J.

During the last few weeks, in consequence of the mills in Preston having been either wholly or partially stopped, there has been a large augmentation in the number of able-bodied paupers in that town. To such an extent has this increase already arrived, that the guardians pre unable to find work for the various applicants, yhich work, by the Poor-law Hoard's orders, they are compelled to find for able-bodied people. On Tuesday, at the meeting of the board of Guardians, the chairman id it was highly-necessary, in consequence of the great access inthis particular, that the general board should be applied to to relax their rule.

The feeling was participated in by the guardians generally, and a resolution to the effect named was unanimously adopted. Short Time ix Prestos. Considerable surprise was excited in Preston yesterday (Tuesday) by the announcement that, from that period, the extensive firm of Messrs. Horrockses, Miller, and Co. had signified their intention to commence working their mills short time.

The firm have intimated that from Tuesday, and until further notice, their mills will only be worked four davs per week. Messrs. Horrockses and Co. are the owners of some nine or ten mills in Preston, employing upwards of 3,000 hands. The circumstance alluded'to has cast a deep gloom over the town.

Manchester Examiner, Wt Jno Max Kicked to Death at Phestox. OnWednesdav evening, Mr. M. Myers opened an inquest at the Town Hall, Preston, on the body of William Lawrenson, a blacksmith's striker, who died in the workhouse of that town, on Monday night, in consequence of being kicked about the head and body, on Tuesday night, the 3rd inst. The following are the circumstances which transpired The deceased was a striker in the employ of Messrs.

Tho. Smith and shipbuilders, and had been to the supper given to the workmen, at the Shelly's Arms Inn, after the launch of the Cryton. Deceased left about 11 o'lock in company with a fellow workman named James Moss, a blacksmith, and being of a quarrelsome disposition, he got to words with some other workmen in the street, Lawrenson was knocked down and then kicked in the most brutal manner. Moss was also assaulted and driven into a passage, and when he returned he found Lawren son uuabie to move. On a post mortem examinauon the skull was found to be fractured six inches in length.

The jury returned a verdict against some person or persons unknown. Refractory Pauper. George an inmate of the Sedburgh Union Workhouse, was on Thursday last, charged before John Elam, at Sedburgh, with refractory conduct in the workhouse on that It appeared from the statement of Mr. John the master of the house, that the defendant wanted to leave the workhouse in search of work in the clothes ward by him belonging to the Union, and on his remonstrating with him, the defendant without any provocation seized the master and kicked him severely upon the legs. Defendant admitted the offence and was sentenced to one months' imprisonment with hard labor in the House of Correction at Wakefield.

Steam Plolgh Exhibition at Oct Rawcliffe. In accordance with previous announcements, Mr. Fowler of London, acting in concert with the managing committee of the Rawcliffe Farmers' Club,) exhibited his steam plough in full work, on Crane Hall Farm, Out Rawcliffe, on Wednesday, the lllh inst. Although there was not so numerous an attendance as on former occasions, nevertheless, a considerable number of landed proprietors, tenant farmers, and others from all parts of the county, were assembled together to witness the experiment. The field in which tbe trial took p'ace was a bean stubble, about 220 yards long, of nedium tenacity, and other respects well adapted to test the merits of tbe various implements.

The trial commenced at ll a.m., and continued until 3 30 p.m., Uie last hour's work being la. Or. 10'J. statute measure. Everyone present expressed themselves highly pleased with the manner in which the work was performed, and it was the unanimous opinion of the various practical and scientific gentlemen present, that steam ploughing was entitled to precedence, over the old mode of ploughing.

The engine moves along the headland, and at the opposite end of the field an anchor, around which Uie rope passes to draw the ploughs each way this was pronounced as a very beautiful piece of machinery, indeed the whole of the machinery and implements were admired as beautitul specimens mechanism. But the greatest superiority exists in the engine and anchor moving about each end of the field just as work is performed, thus avoiding the injurious effects of the trampling of horses, consequent on the old mode of ploughing. And in strong clav land like a great portion of the Fylde a fact well worthy the consideration of the farming community. Altogether tril was most satisfactory. Steam ploughing is no longer a problem requiring solution, the practicability of which has been tuliy tested by the trials at Out Kawcliffe.

The farmers and others cf the Fylde are much indebted Mr. Fowler, for allowing the merits of his steam plough, to be tested fn this district; and also to "the managing committee of the Rawcliffe Farmers' Club, for their exertions in securing for this hitherto doubtful experiment a successful issoe. Share arket, Freday. The pressure in the monev market this week has probably exceeded that experienced in ihe crisis of 1847. The advance in the rate of discount last Monday by the Bank to 10 per cent, only exciied increased eagerness on the part of the commercial community to procure money.

Yesterday, the government felt compelled to interfere, and have authorized an issue of notes virtually a second time suspend "feels Act. this measure has saved the country from a rapidly impending financial explosion and its adoption one week earlier would probably have spared many disasters. The stock aud share markets have maintained wonderful firmness, the public buying freely Caledonians, North British, and other Scotch stocks have suffered most. The share market opened yesterday at better prices on the expectation of government interference, and quotations improved. Late in the afternoon, on the publication of Lord Palmerston's letter, a further rise of 1 per cent occurred, closing very bouvantly, for next accounts.

SUSPENSION OF THE BANK ACT. London, Thursday, Four o'clock. This has been an exceedingly anxious day, full of hopes on the one hand, and apprehensionson the other, and attended until nearly the close of business with a great deal of uncertainty. The Bank directors held a special meeting late last night, and made a representation to the government of the critical state of things, caused by the demand for notes in England, and the run for gold in Scotland, Late this afternoon it was announced that the Bank had received an official letter from Lord Palmerston and Sir Cornewall Lewis, authorising them to increase their issue of notes, to the extentot it was said, on approved securities at not less than 10 per cent interest. The effect of this was very considerable.

It arrested the demand for money, which had previously been very great, and left the market very excited. About 300,030 in sovereigns left the Bank to-day for Scotland. The Avon lias arrived from Melbouene with 260,000 in gold and the Emeu has more than 500,000 on board. About 100,000 in silver arrived from the continent yesterday. Consols opened at S8f to for money.

There was a heavy nressure of sales. The Bank sold to the extent ot nearly 300,000, and sales were also effected on account of the Scotch banks. The effect of these operations was to canse a decline to SSf to But on the other hand vague rumours betjan to prevail that the government had authorized the suspension of theBank Chatrer Act, and they caused some heavy speculative purchases for the account. The money price soon afterwards became comparatively stationary at 88 to 89, but the accomt price fluctuated rapidly and violently between S9J to and S9J to 90. The changes were incessant.

Just before the government letter was announced they stood at S9 to and immediately afterwards they jumped to S9 to 90, and they closed eventually at the same. The business of the day was, upon the whole, very large, and at the close a firm tone war. perceptible Reduced, 67 New Three per Cents, S7j. The following letter from Lord Palmerston and Sir G. C.

Lewis, to the Governor and Deputv Governor of the Bank of England, was published yesterday t1 TT ''Dc-wning-street, Nov. 12. Lrentlemen, Her Majesty's government have observea with great concern theserions consequences which have ensued from the recent failure of certain joint-stock banks in England and Scotland, as well as large mercantile firms chiefly connected 'with the American trade. The discredit and distrust which have resulted from these events, and the withdrawal of a large amount of the paper circulation authorised by the existing Bank Acts, appear to Her Majesty's government to render it necessary for them to inform the Bank of England, that if they should be unable, in the present emergency, to meet the demands for discounts and adtrance3 upon approved securities, without exceeding the limits of the circulation' prescribed by the act of 1844, the government will be prepared to propose to parliament, on its meeting, a bill of indemnity for any excess so issued. In order to prevent this temporary relaxation, of the law being extended beyond the actual necessities of the occasion, Her Majesty's government are of opinion that the Bank terms of discount shouid not be reduced below their present rate.

Her Majesty's government reserve for future con-sideration the appropriation of any profit which may arise upon issues in excess of the statutorv a-mount Her Majesty's government are fully impressed with the importance of maintaining the letter of the law, even in a time of considerable mercantile difficulty but they believe that, for the removal of apprehensions which have checked the course of monetary transactions, such a measure as is now contemplated has become necessary, and they rely upon the discretion rnd prudence of the directors for confining its operations within the strict limits of the exigencies of the case. "(Signed) "Palmerston. "To the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England." THE GLASGOW PANIC RETURN OF CON FIDENCE. Thursday, One p.m. I am glad to inform you that the panic here has subsided.

Three hundred thousaud sovereigns arrived here this morning from London, the effect of which has been most favourable in restoring confidence. The Union Bank is doing very little more than its ordinary business. There is scarcely anv demand upon the National Security Bank The failure of Mr. Alexander Denny, shipbuilder and engineer of Dumbarton, has been announced day. ihe City and Western Banknotes are now taken freely by all the public institutions and establishments.

A private meeting of the shareholders, in the estern Bank was held this afternoon, when half a million was subscribed to enable them to go on This is expected to be increased to as much more bv tomorrow. The City Bank is making up a statement, which Monday SatlS aCtory' wiU enable thei" to open on Thv LiJrd- P08 has received a private telegram that banks in Edinburgh are freely taking the City and Western Bank notes. Lord Eglinton is also receiving his rents in the Western notes and deoosit receipts. I have good authority for stating that last night a deputation from tbe chartered Scottish banks went to London, with four millions of government secunties, determined that if the act of 1844 were not suspended they would force payment from the Bank of England, hence the suspension to day So other failures yet. The Western subscrip-tion of shareholders has now reached upwards of a million.

EXPULSION OF JESUITS. 1 he government of Switzerland have expelled the Jesuits from the canton of Lucerne and are taking measures to get rid of the pestilent fraternity altogether. LADY HAVELOCK. Lady Havelock and her family were present at Her Majesty's Theatre on Thursday night, and Jullien, after the performance of the "Havelock Triumphal March, called for three cheers for the General." They were given with the greatest enthusiasm. Lady Havelock was much affected with the demonstration.

THE EXETER HALL SERVICES. The nious wishes of the Bishop of London, Lord bhattesbory, and other distinguished philanthropists, to have Exeter Hall made available for public worship so that the opportunity might be afforded to the non-churchgoing population of London to join in devotional service, is frustrated for the present by the arbitrary conduct of the Rev. Mr. Edonart who unfortunately happens to be rector of the parish in which Exeter Hall is situate, who has put his vets on any future service. His right, however, is to be questioned in Doctors' Commons.

THE BANK ACT AND MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. We can well imagine that only the representation that great commercial calamities were about to take place has determined the government to act so bold a part How much they feel the importance of the step is proved by what we have now to announce that it has been resolved to call parliament together at once, in order to settle the question raised by the present crijis, and to register for Ministers and the Bank Directors that in demnity for which they are obliged to appeal A council will, we understand, be held next Monday, at which, probably, parliament will be summoned to meet at the end of 14 days. Tune. HOERID CRUELTY OF A FATHER. One of the most atrocions cases of parental cruelty that we have heard of for some time past was brought before the Liverpool magistrates on Thursday.

It appeared that a man named Isaac Jordan, carrying on business as an ironmonger in Stanley-street, and who is possessed of considerable property has been subjecting his son. 14 years of age, to a system of the utmost barbarity. The boy, who was brought into court by a policeman, was chained by the legs, and the padlock whioh fastened it was so firmly secured, that the lock had to be broken before it could be removed.
