HEENAN.—The Sporting Life says :-J. C. Hee- nan, who for the past three years has regularly followed racing as a professional pursuit, and who is a member of Tattersall's and the principal Clubs, is about to return to America. During his connec- tion with the English Turf, Heenan has made a large number friends by his gentlemanly bearing and unexceptional conduct in all transactions. It is well known that his health has been failing for some time, and his medical advisers ordered him to pass the winter either in the South of France or in America. Acting upon this suggestion, the famous Benicia Boy crosses the Atlantic with his wife, and hopes to return in better health next spring. Heenan informs us that his symptoms are very serious, and that his constitution has sadly broken up. He has been very unfortunate since his ar- rival in this country, and feels that the internal injuries he received in the Ascot railway accident have permanently impaired his health. THE BRIGANDS' PRIZE.—The capture by brigands was lately reported of Mr Penza, the Italian traveller of Messrs C. Barthelmes and Co., of Brad- ford, while travelling between Naples and Ancona, a ransom of not less that £2,800 being demanded for his release. On Saturday Messrs Barthelmes and Co., received from Italy a telegram announcing the release of Mr Penza from captivity. His re- lease was not effected through the interposition of the Italian Government, with whom, as will be remembered, Lord Clarendon informed the Brad- ford Chamber of Commerce communication would be immediately made in reference to the matter, but the knowledge on the part of his captors of the fact that some influence was being exerted by Messrs Bartbelmes in a quarter at Rome likely to do good service in effecting his release, may, it is supposed, have induced them more speedily perhaps than they otherwise would have done to put a less extravagant estimate on their prize than they bad previously done, and to accept, as they at length did, the more moderate sum of X350 for Mr Penza's release. SCENE IN A THEATRE.-—The St Petersburg Foix says that about a fortnight ago a frightful accident happened at the Alexandra Theatre during the representation of a German opera. Mdlle. Louise Ehlers, one of the prettiest ladies of the company, who in this piece filled the role of a Mexican, was dancing the oachuca, when, having approached the lights, she went on her knees and began playing the castonettes. At this moment her gauze petticoats caught fire, and she was immediately enveloped in ffames. A cry of anguish escaped from every breast. The unhappy actress, filled with terror, ran about the stage, and thus fanned the fire which was devouring her clothes. She shrieked, sobbed, and cried for help. MM. Lobe and Zimmerman, who were on the stage, threw themselves upon her, and succeeded in leading her to the side scenes. The other actresses, who were also clothed in gauze, fled, in order to avoid becom- ing victims of tbe calamity. The curtain was lowered, but the audience would not retire before learning the fate of the artiste. It was ultimately announced that, though she was in a dangerous state, there were hopes that her life would be saved. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE RELATIVE TO THE ESCAPE OF STEPHENs-The men named Duggan and Donovan were committed by the magistrates at Liskear petty sessions on Thursday, on the charge of being Fenians. The statement of one of the chief witnesses against the accused, a private in the 4th Dragoon Guards, named Cain, was very remarkable. In the course of his evidence he said that after he had been sworn in a Fenian he had a conversation with Donovan, who was a B," Do- novan (witness deposed) said:—"Poor Stephens has been taken but never mind about him. We can release him any time we like; for there are five of the turnkeys our own, and belong to our society." He did'nt (continued the witness) name any time for the release of Stephens, but said that they did not want to do it just then. On the ter- mination of the proceedings Mr Ryan, one of the 0 Magistrates, said that the information containing °n*the ^?teraent resPecting Stephens was taken 23rd •uit"' but WRS not completed until the it arrived ontth^9SrY^ded t0 the Castle' where escaped, but «■« !.«» morning that Stephens after he had got out of untl1 8°me hours DISMISSAL OF A CATTLE PI T On Sawrday last and cattle plague in«Pec%r. Reared the magistrates of the East Ridmg, at give an explanation with respect to the removal of certain beasts within his distric owing to the cattle disease had been communicated. An information had been laid by several of the Inhabi- tants of Kilnwick, whose allegations were to the effect that by his (Mr Holmes s) orders, certain ani- mals belonging to tbem.graziug in a field at Lacking- ton, and which had been in communication with a ball that had died lrom the rinderpest, had been re- ni.»vcd to Kilnwick and there imported the disease. Unc Of the cottagers' cows had been taken ill, and \10; fclau-i'-tered to prevent the spread of the ui.se-se. ,\tr Holmes, in reply to the charge, said teat lie did not give imperative orders that the hLht- should be removed, but that he stated that permission might be given to the owners to remove them it they liked, as he did not consider they had been sufficiently near the diseased bull to be in danger and lastly that when he spoke about the matter, the animals were well. The bench, however, were of opinion that he musthave known the great danger of permii-iou being given to remove the annuals, and, for the protection of the public, they felt bound to dismiss him from his office as inspector.

SPAIN AND CHILI. MADRID, Dec. 2. The semi-official Correspondencia de Espana con- tains the following: 1 To the periodicals who ask if the Government is disposed to accept European mediation in Chili, we are enabled to reply that the Government will not accept mediation. All that we believe the Govern- ment is inclined to accept are the good offices which friendly Powers have offered, in order that without in any way injuring the dignity of our nation means may be found to avoid a rupture which Spain has not sought, and cannot desire in her own interest, 01 the general interests of Europe.' According to the Epoca, Spain could in a few months assemble 25 vessels in the Pacific, almost all new and powerful, and with picked crews. This fleet would include three ironclads and six screw frigates, independent of the squadron now stationed in the Chilian waters. The decision of the Central Madrid Committee in favour of continued abstention has been generally obeyed by the Progressist Committees throughout the country, even including those in Catalonia, which had hitherto manifested great opposition to this policy. The Reforma draws attention to the persistent rumours lately current upon the Madrid Exchange of the approaching retirement of Senor Alonso Martinez, Minister of Finance, from the Cabinet. The Reforma considers these rumours to be well founded, and has reason to believe that the resignation of Senor Martinez will take place as soon as the elections to the Cortes are terminated.

THE NEGRO INSURRECTION. The West India and Pacific Steamship Company's steamer Cuban arrived in the Mersey late on Monday night, from Port-au-Prince and Jamaica. The Colonial Standard of the 6th November gives the following particulars relative to the negro rebellion There is an end to court-martial here (a suspen- sion rather), capital cases having been got rid of. Prisoners are coming in (not willingly) from the Manchioneal district. There is one ringleader in prison awaiting trial, and three or four more in the woods not yet captured. But for the presence of Captain Hole and his men, at Manchioneal, that dis- trict would be devoted to utter destruction, for it is remote alike from Port Antonio and Bath-a sort of fastness, a hiding-place, a den of rebels and robbers -a dernier resort, as it were, for the discomfited. Moreover, there are only one policeman, a few con- stables, and volunteers without even a staff no one caring a straw (who ought to care) about aiding the military in searching out and bringing to judgment the rebels. The constables and volunteers are willing and ready, and had the volunteers been armed, they would have proved themselves worthy of the cause they serve. An announcement has been made, by authority of his Excellency the Governor, calling the attention of all persons to the pains and penalties which any one who receives, shelters, ccnceals, or refreshes, or in any manner assists any rebel, or person concerned in the rebellion, or holds any secret communication with such rebel or person, without making discovery to the military or other authority of the Queen,' will incur. Persons are warned that they will be appre- hended and dealt with with the utmost rigour for so offending. I It is with extreme satisfaction that we close our Extra' with the announcement that the rebellion is now at an end. The terrible examples made of the St. Thomas-in-the-East fiends have struck terror into the hearts of the evil-disposed in the island, and taught them the folly of the hopes in which they in- dulged. As far as can be ascertained, every person concerned as a leader in the rebellion has been appre- hended and shot, or hanged, or otherwise put out of the way of further mischief, whilst the disposition of troops at various important stations round the island, and the energy and determination exhibited by his Excellency the Governor, and the Government, and by the military and naval authorities, have shown the people what must ever be the inevitable end of re- volt in a colony governed by England. 4 The House of Assembly will meet to-morrow, and circulars have been issued by the Governor inviting the punctual attendance of members to con- sider the matters of the rebellion. Measures will probably be put forward to cure some of the abuses arising out of an unreasoning sympathy with the negro, under favour of which the diabolical plans just frustrated have been suffered to mature unobserved or unchecked by the Government. The one great feature of the rebellion was that it professed to aim at the reform of no wrong, but simply at the destruction of the whites and browns, and the confiscation of their property for the benefit of the blacks. tytunler, cold-blooded, cowardly, and indiscriminate, was the prime means adopted to effect the desired end. There remains no alternative, therefore, but to treat the question as one of class distinction alone, and to provide remedies accordinglv. Meanwhile the estates' negroes have resumed work in the disturbed districts, and a general disposi- tion is evinced to profit by the Queen's amnesty proclamation, and to re-enter the pale of the law with all haste. The shock given to the production of the parish, however, and the influence of the rebellion upon business throughout the island, will continue to be felt for some time to come. Mr Lawrence, the overseer of the Rhine Estate (the property of the late G. W. Gordon), had been hanged. Several letters found in Lawrence's posses- sion afforded additional proof of how deep had been the traitoious machinations of the rebels at whose head stood G. W. Gordon. Samuel Clarke, a vestryman of St. David's and a violent political agitator, was also found guilty of treason and executed. It has been ascertained beyond the shadow of a doubt that George W. Gordon was the party who wrote, got printed, and circulated' amongst the peasantry, the seditious and treasonable placard in- citing the people to rebellion. It was expected that the rebel Haytian General Salmane would arrange matters amicably with the British authorities at Cape Hayti.'

THE CROPS IN THE UNITED STATES.—It appears from the final exhibit of crop reports, that the deficiency of wheat will not be more than about 12 million bushels, the wet weather having caused much less injury than was supposed. But this deficiency of wheat is more than counterbalanced by other cereals. The corn crop will be the largest ever grown in the United States. The oats crop exceeds that of last year by 50 million bushels the increase of hay is 5 million tons and rye, barley, buck- wheat and other crops are all represented as being very good. Notwithstanding the fact that we are just emerging from the greatest war in the history of the world, we have an abundance of everything in the way of food, and can besides supply Europe with all it requires.—New York Sun. ELECTRICITY AS A MEANS OF TAKING CORRECT SOUNDINGS IN DEEP WATER. -In taking deep-sea soundings, the great difficulty is to determine the exact moment at which the lead touches the bottom. Several very ingenious contrivances for overcoming this difficulty have been devised of late years, bat none of them have proved so successful as one which has just been suggested by M. Hedouin, of Lyons, seems to promise to be. M. Hedouin proposes that the sounding-line should be a kind of light telegraph cable, enclosing two carefully insulated wires, both connected, at one end, with the lead, and at the other with the two poles respectively of a voltaic battery, and that the lead should be so constructed that on touching the bottom it should make metallic contact between the extremities of these two wires, and thereby cause the instant passage of an electric current. It is obvious that this current could be made either simply to give warning, by ringing a bell or otherwise, of the lead having touched the bottom, or to put in action an automatic brake, and so prevent any more line passing into the water. Mechanic's Magazine. — THE NEGRO iNSURRECTtON.—On Monday even- ing a public meeting was beld at Brighton,/?t which a memorial was adopted calling on the Govern- r, ment to institute a prompt inquiry relative to the late insurrection in Jamaica, and the circumstances attending its suppression. The meeting was addressed by Mr White, M.P., Mr Conyngnam, and Professor Fawcett, M.P., and letters of apology for absence were read from Mr Dodson and Lord Cavendish, the county members. Mr. White strongly expressed his indignation at the proceed- ings of Governor Eyre. 0 Professor iawcett, however, said he would not commit himself on a Matter whereon he might be called upon to deal Judicially in the House of Commons, adding that M he was a friend of one of the authorities in amaica, he should be more anxious for a full and searching inquiry. < We want to know (said Mr awcett) whether there was a wide spread insur- rection or not, We want to know why it was necessary to slaughter 2,000 people, three weeks after the authorities and Assembly had confessed that the rebellion was completely crushed. We want to know why executions bv the hundred should have taken place, and why there should be associated with it a barbarity which never occurred even in the middle ages, the time ot the blackest pages of history—that when a man had been sentenced, to execution, it should be said, let us give him a foretaste of its bitterness, and lay the lash to his back before swinging him from the gallows,' 0

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DURING IHE PAST WEEK. (From Belra Weekly Messenger.) WHEAT.—The supply on Monday from Essex and Kent was again abort, and a great portion of it being of this year's crop, came forward in very poor condition; such was difficult of sale, whilst the best samples of new, and fine qualities of old, were taken off steadily, at the prices of the previous week, and of these a clearance was effected. A considerable number of damp samples were left over unsold for future markets, these being totally unfit for grinding purposes, and almost too inferior for the starch makers. The late rains have greatly affected them, and they had much better have been left in the stack until after next March, when they might have come out in better condition than at present. On the whole the condition was the worst of any which has appeared since harvest. From the soft state of the home-grown, it was generally expected that an improved demand would have been experienced for foreign qualities of old, but such was not tbe fact, a-,d sales were only effected to a moderate extent, without any quotable variation in prices. Useful Russians at 44s to 46* per qr were the sorts most in request, and the importers reckon on a good demand for snch as the winter advances. The imports consisted of 350 qrs from Caen, 1636 qrs from Cronstadt, 1161 qrs from Dantzic, 4t0 qrs from Dunkirk, 1100 qrs from Konigsberg, and 5890 qrs from St. Petersburg, making a total of 10,647 qrs, all of good useful quality, suitable for either town or country millers. The imports at Liverpool on Tuesday were 14,13,5 qrs, besides 5019 sncks and 836 brls of flour. There were more willing buyers at that day's market than latterly, former prices being fully supported, the trade closing with rather more- firmness and buoyancy. At Hull the arrivals were 4720 qrs. Foreign qualities were held beyond the views of the buyers; few transactions were entered into, whilst the small quantity brought forward by the farmers was dis- posed of at former rates for the driest parcels; other sorts meeting a limited demand. Trade was quiet at Leeds, but there was no quotable change in the value of either new or old. The farmers at Ipswich brought forward a limited quantity, and obtained full prices generally, with an occasional advance of Is per qr on the very choicest parcels. A very moderate quantity appeared at Lynn, which sold readily at fully as much money. Trade at Spalding was healthy for the driest parcels at the rates of the previous week, but out-of-condition samples were placed slowly at rather less money. Go.'d old qualities supported prices at Leighton Buzzard, with a short supply of such, and a moderate sale. At Hitchin the sales were efFectecLon former terms for all new in good order, but it was the same there as at most markets, that a portion of the supply was soft, and bad to quit. The continued wet weather affects prejudicially all new sam- ples even the best secured g've.s more or less to the moist atmosphere, which tends to check trade for the present. At Mark-lane on Wednesday the arrivals of English were very limited, and the imports of foreign quite mode- rate. Home-grown tolerably dry sold steadily at Mon- day's prices, and foreign realised as much, with rather more disposition to increase stocks by some millers. The Scotch markets this week have been firmer than those of the South. At Edinburgh the farmers succeeded in obtaining an advance of Is per qr, and experienced a good demand, The imports at Leith amounted to 18,121 qrs, with 6202 sacks flour. Foreign samples have ad- vanced nearly Is per qr on the week, with an improved demand. The imports op the Clyde for Glasgow market were confined to spring com, and there were only 1807 qrs at Grangemouth, with 600 sacks of flour. The trade has taken a turn upwards, and on the sales effected the advance was about 6d to Is per qr. The markets held on Thursday were moderately supplied, but many of the samples came forward in poor condition, which tended to check the demand, but those parcels tolerably dry sold steadily at about Is per qr more money on the week. An improved condition is all that is wanted for an increased demand and enhanced rates, the millers showing more anxiety to get into stock. There were short fresh arrivals of English at Mark-lane on Friday, and very moderate imports of foreign, A steady demand was experienced for dry English new, and the beat samples of old at Monday's prices, with a somewhat better sale for foreign descriptions at very full prices. The business transacted at Liverpool was to a good extent, at 2d per cental over the ourrency of Tuesday, and a more general demand was experienced. The millers at Wakefield bought the best qualities more freely, and had to pay Is per qr more money. The weekly average was 46s lOd on 70,904 qrs, against 46s lid on 71,570 qrs the previous week; the corresponding one of the past year was 38s 9d on 78,113 qrs. .BARLKY.- The arrivals of English, coastwise and by the railways, for Monday's market, were 3,627 qrs from Scotland there were 418 qrs, with imports of foreign only amounting to 1,336 qrs, the greatest portion being from France, the rfst, 276 qrs. from Hamburgh. This article has assumed more dullness than of late, the best malting qualities alone supporting prices, whilst medium sorts were fully Is per qr lower; these meeting a dull sale. Grinding qualities were in good request, at quite as much money, particularly sweet parcels from the Danube, and Odessa. In the agricultural districts the deliveries of this article are steadily on the increase, and are likely to continue so up to Christmas at least, as the farmers are determined to thrash it whilst the full demand is on for malting purposes. Prices at most country markets have given way on the average fully Is per qr, the pressure being most on medium qualities. On Wednesday there were limiied arrivals of all descriptions, and no quotable variation in any sort. The arrivals on Friday were 1,370 qrs, with 940 qrs from Ireland, and the imports of foreign were 1,950 qrs. The best malting qualities supported prices, and these met a moderate sale; but secondary descriptions remain dull, and barely command former quo- tations. There was a good sale of sweetgrinding samples, a-s well those from the North as from the South of Europe. The weekly average was 34s on 76,782 qrs, against 33s 7d on 63,816 qrs the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was 22s 9d on 4,587 qrs. OATS.—The arrivals of English for Monday's market were 2,661 qrs, nearly the whole coming by railway; from Scotland there were 471 qrs and from Ireland 135 qrs, with imports of foreign amounting to 13,448 qrs. These small arrivals on the aggregate gave the factors an opportunity to obtain very full price, and a pretty good sale was experienred from the large dealers and con- sumers, as well as from country buyers. High as prices have attained, there is every probability of this article being higher during the winter months, the short crop of home-grown causing an extended demand; and unless imports are well kept up, stocks in granary must be re- duced fast' and the supplies at spring are likely to be smaller than usual, from so many Russians being pur- chased for shipment, at open water to Denmark. On Wednesday all supplies were very moderate, and prices were well supported. The arrivals coastwise at Mark Lane on Friday were 310 qrs, and the import of foreign amounted to 7,370 qrs, with 1,620 qrs from Ireland. The large dealers continue to buy freely, and the consumers pur- chased to a fair extent; prices were consequently well supported for all descriptions. From Scotland very few arrivals take place, the article being more wanted at borne for oatmeal, now that wheat is so much higher than the past two years. The weekly average was 22s 9d on 4,587 qrs, against 22s 9d on 5,240 qrs the previous week; the corresponding one of the past year was 19s 5d on 6,209 qrs. BEAfs -The supplies were tolerably good on Monday of English from the near counties, and rather higher prices were obtained for both new and old samples the imports of foreign were 772 qrs from Tonning; all de- scriptions supported prices. There were no imports at Liverpool; and former rates were generally obtained. The imports at Hull were 1,440 qrs, and trade was very firm, with a moderate sale for immediate consumption. The arrivals of foreign at Leith were only 440 qrs, and prices advanced 6d to Is per qr, with a good steady sale. There were no arrivals up the Clyde or Grangemouth for Glasgow market; with an improved trade for this article, prices were well supported. PEAS.—Moderate supplies have been brought forward from the near counties, and full prices were obtained for all descriptions. The imports of foreign amounted to 3,021 qrs from Quebec and Konisberg; choice boiling qualities have commanded 42s and feeding parcels made 40. per qr. There were no imports at Liverpool and prices were well supported. At Hull there were only 228 qrs reported, and lully as much money was obtained. At Leith the quantity reported was 335 qrs where an udvance of 6j to Is per qr was established, and a good demand experienced. There were liberal imports up the Clyde for Glasgow market, amounting to 4,487 qrs, but no arrivals at Grangemouth; without any change in prices, trade was tolerably firm. FOREIGN GRAIN. The markets in the North of Europe have been more firm tbøn active. At Hamburgh the arrivals from the interior continue on a very moderate scale. Full puces have been paid for wheat, some quantity taken by the large millers, and also by the local dealers, samples of red up to 50s per qr free on board. Common sorts bringing 46a to 48s per qr. Saale barley remains very high, and all fine qualities which appear meet a ready sale. The French markets have been quiet for wheat, but the millers can scarcely make their purchases on lower terms. In the provinces prices tended downwards. The sale of flour at Paris was slow, without any quotable change in the value of any description. In the United States prices of cereals have been en- hanced. At New York ttere has been a better demand for wheat, and the favourable advices from Europe caused an enhancement of 4 to 6 cents per bush. About 250,000 bushels of spring wheat had been purchased to cost 48s to 43s 6d per 480 lb, cost and freight included, and tor export to Great Britain, and the market closed with an upward tendency. Flour was 20 cents per brl. lower for state quality, closing dull; but this is repre- sented to be owing to inferior quality, and the arrivals to consist of medium grades.

•HEAD CKNTRE' STEPHENS.—On Thursday the police at Troon received a telegram from the police authorities in Belfast, ordering them to search the steamer Black Diamond, as they considered that Stephens was concealed on board, and intended to leave Scotland for America in a vessel which was on the point of sailing for the States. The Black Diamond, which does not carry passengers, bad arrived in Troon about two hours before the telegram was received. Policemen were dispatched from Ayr and elsewhere to Troon in plain clothes, and the steamer and all the vessels it) the harbour Lave been searched without any result. It has been ascertained that some person not belonging to the crew of the Black Diamond was on board when she entered the harbour. The search is being continued Tile affair has created great excitement. — Glasgow Herald. REDUCTION OF INFANTILIS MORTALITY BY THE USE OF Da ml) JONGH'S LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL.- The following communication to the Medical 7itnes and Gazette, by Thomas Hunt, Esq, Medical Officer of Heatlh to the populous districts of Bioomsbury and St Giles, describing the simplest, safest, and most effectual means of maintaining and restoring the health of infants, will be read peculiar with interest: 4In badly-nourished infants, Drde Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil is invaluable. The rapidity with which two or three tea-spoonfuls a-day wiil fatten n young child is astonishing. The weight gained is three times the weight of the oil swallowed, or more; and, as children generally like the taste of Dr de Jongh's Oil, and when it is given them, often cry for more, it appears as though there were some prospect of deliver- ance for the appalling multitude of children who figure in the weekly Bills of Mortality, issued from the Offlce of the Registrar-General.' Dr de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil is sold only in capsuled imperial half-pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d; quarts, 9s, by his sole consignees, Ansar, Harford, and Co, 77, Strand, London; and by respectable chemists.

THE LONDON MARKETS. CORK EXCHANGE, MARK-LANK, MONDAY, Dec. 4.— There was a short supply of wheat from Essex and Kent; that of barley. beans, and peas, was moderate; with a few fresh arrivals of oats from Scotland and Ireland, with but a limited quantity of English by the railways. There were moderate imports of wheat and barley; those of oats and barley were very liberal, with a few parcels of flour. A good deal of rain has fallen at intervals during the past week. Wheat sowing has progressed slowly. Yesterday and this morning the weather was damp and unsettled; wind SE. English wheat met a slow sale, the condition being so bad, a few picked aim- ples brought Is per quarter more money, but the greatest portion remained dull, although not lower, and prices were the same as last week; the better sorts were held with much firmness. Town flour was unaltered. Conn- try marks were quite as dear. Americans held high. and unaltered in price. Malting barley was in moderate request at last Monday's currency for fine qualities, but intermediate sorts were dull and rather lower. Malt was held at previous currencies. Beans were fully as dear. Peas realised as much money. Oats were purchased to a limited extent at nearly former price", the large im- ports inducing the buyers to try for 6d per quarter abate- ment, but sales were not pressed at any decline. Lin- seed was quite as dear, and in steady request. Rapeseed commanded as much money. Cloverseed was held at the extreme prices of last week. Trefoil was steady In value. Mustardseed quiet and unchanged. Canaryseed brought somewhat more money. Tares were saleable on former terms. BRITISH.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. LONDON, MONDAY, Dec. 4.—The supply of foreign beasts on offer here to-day was only moderate, of foreign sheep tolerably good.. Some of the stock came to band in prime condition, but most of it was of inferior quality. For the most p-Art sales progressed slowiy, at about sta- tionary prices. The arrivals of English beasts fresh up this morning were moderate, and in improved condition. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts were about aver- age ones for the time of year. Nearly all the breeds moved off slowly; nevertheless, the prices current on Monday last were supported. The best Scots and crossst sold at 5s to 5s 2d per 8lb. There were a few good beasts on show from Norfolk, being the first of the season, which has commenced somewhat earlier than usual. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton- shire, we received about 2,000 shorthorns, &e; from Norfolk, 200 Scots; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; from Scotland, 271 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 300 oxen, cows, and heifers. With home-fed sheep we were again but moderately supplied; but there was an increased number of prime breeds in the pens. Most qualities of mutton moved off slowly; nevertheless, the quotations were tolerably firm. The best Downs realised 6s 4d to 6s 8d per 81b. Calves were in short supply and steady request, on rather higher terms, the quotations rai glng from 4s to 5s per 81b. Prime small pigs were in fair request, at full prices; bnt large boss were very dull. The great Christmas market wiil be held on Monday next, the 11 th inst.

A JAMAICA MISSIONARY'S OPINION OF GORDON. A missionary in Jamaica, in a letter dated Nov. 3. to a friend in Edinburgh, says :—' The diabolical idea appears first to have entered into the mind of George Wm. Gordon, about three jears ago, of murdering or banishing from the island all the white men and respectable and influential brown men, and putting it into the possession of the blacks. He was a man who had a pretty good standing in society, and was member of the As- sembly for the parish of St. Thomas, in-the-East, now almost desolated. He made a great profession of religion, and was for a time a leading member of Mr Watson's Church. He was kind to minis- ters. and I have more than once spent some time with him. and was pleased with the Christian way in which he conducted his family, generally presid- ing at worship one part of each day. After he was elected member of Assembly he became a loud and constant advocate of all popular rights. On this account, and by his interminable harangues, he disgusted many, and raised up a host of enemies for himself in the Assembly. It was generally thought he was harshly treated, both by the governor and the custos of his own parish, now murdered; and he got into violent quarrels with the clergy and the leading men of the parish. I have no doubt that he was mightily puffed up by the notice that was taken of him, and especially as being generally accounted the leader of the popular party. In all his ambitious designs, finding him- self constantly thwarted and contemptuously treated by his opponents, the thought ot getting rid of his enemies appears to have taken possession ot his mind. To accomplish the infernal design, he seems to have imagined that the only way was by an outbreak of the people and this led to the mad, and horrible thought of destroying ail the present intlueatial men in the island, It now appears that for the last three years he has been making pre- parations for this general massacre, and for the Jast three months has been indefatigable in matur- ing it.. By the admirable skill and prompti- tude of the governor the power of the robei-i was in three day? annihilated, and in th>-ee week? almost every vestige of rebellion obliterated. I doubt not that, in adduion to the widespread deso- lation it has occasioned to the parish in which it broke out, and to the misery of untold multitudes, whose houses have been burned, and thev ihem- selves forced to hide in dens and thickets to pre- serve themselves trom military execution, more than a thousand persons have been ei? ier shot or hanged, and a great muhitude sevt>rely lashed. Such appears to be the end of this wicked revolt. Gordon some time ago joined thw Baptists, and became a preacher among them but I fear be was a wicked hypocrite, and a savage at heart, He was hanged at the Court-house, where the slaughter commenced, unpitied by all, and leaving a name to be execrated by all good men.'

THE GREAT FIRE AT LIVERPOOL. The extensive establishment of Messrs Jeffery, Compton-house, was totally destroyed by fire on Friday night. It was a block of buildings in Church Street, and Basnett-street, of colossal proportions. A large number of the persons, male and female, employed by the firm slept on the premises. At ten o clock on Friday night two police-officers were .< 4 tbpir beat in Tarleton-street, when they .o-e;v d smoke issuing from the basement of Compton-house, which is used as the outfitting i-P trtment. One instantly gave the alarm to the ,mates of the domestic department, and the other hastened to the Fire Police station in Hatten- garden. The sections of police had just assembled for night duty; and an engine and a body of men were promptly despatched and quickly followed up by others. Among these was the powerful steam- engine recertly purchased. It would appear that the fire must have obtained considerable hold be- fore it was discovered and the inflammable ma- terials fed it, unfortunately, & rendered it more than a match for the water, immense though its volume, which was thrown upon it. The alarm having been so promptly given, the inmates of the domestic part of the building abutting on Leigh Street were fortunately rescued without any serious mishap. Several of the female assistants bad retired to rest, and the fire spread so rapidly that they had only time to throw blankets around each other, and, putting themselves in the care of the firemen, to reach the street in safety. On the first arrival of the engines the seat of the fire was believed to be in the basement on the Tartleton Street side of the premises. Accordingly every effort was made to get jets to play upon this. Considerable delay and impediment were caused by the iron shutters and when the firemen by dint of axe and crowbar, succeeded in forcing a way through these, a dense volume of smoke and name forced them back. Major Greig then seized a hydrant, and with great resolutioB and exertion forced his way into the building. Other jets were then brought in, and it was hoped for a few minutes the flames were being mastered. The hope, however, was delusive, and the fire, spreading in the direction of Basnett Street, soon gaT e evidence that its force would only be spent by the destruction of the entire block. The shatters in Bassnett Street became red-hot, and Jell in. During this time the steam-engine was throwing an immense volume of water into the burning pile. In the meantime the news had spread far and wide. Forty men from Her Ma- jesty s ship Donegal came and rendered most valuable assistance. The West of England Fire Brigade, under Mr Superintendent Hurst were in attendance with their respective engines. Every effort to stop the progress of the fire tailed. At midnight the flames burst through the roof, floor after floor gave way, and very soon nothing of the building remained only the blackened walls. The loss is immense, and the fear is that it may far exceed the amount of the insurance. As usual at this period of the year, there was a heavy stock, of which not a vestige remains. The immense block of building must also represent a very heavy sum. The total loss, as far as can be at preseut estimated, will probably exceed £200,000. Messrs Jeffery are insured for £140,000. including :£30,000 in the Liverpool and London office; dE16,500inthe Norwich Union; f 10,000 Royal; £5,000 West of England; £5,000 Manchester; £3.000 Atl £ 2,000 Yorkshire £2,000 Bir- mingham; ,000 Alliance; £2,000 Scottish Fire and Life, and considerable sums in other offices. As to the origin of the fire it will probably be never known. There were flues and hot-air passages in many part*, and no doubt the overheating of one of these has led to the melancholy disaster. Some persons attribute it to the escape of gas. During the whole of Saturday and Sunday, owing to the dangerous state of the unsupported walls, the half of Church Street was barricaded, and every point commanding a view has been thronged by those anxious to obtain a sight of all that remains of Compton-house.—Liverpool Albion.

G. W. GORDON'S LAST LETTER TO HIS WIFE* We have received from Mr Chamerovzow the following copy of a letter which, he says, Gordon wrote to his wife within an hour of bis execution :— Mv beloved Wife,—General Nelson has just been kind enough to inform me that the court-martial on Saturday last has ordered me to be hung, and that the sentence is to be executed in an hour hence; so that I shall be gone from this world of sin and sorrow. I regret that my wotldly affairs are so deranged; bat now it cannot be helped. I do not deserve this sentence for I never advised or took part in any insurrection. All I ever did was to recommend the people who complained to seek redress in a legitimate way, and if in this I erred, or have been misrepresented, I do not think I deserve the extreme sentence. It is, however, the will of my Heavenly Father that I should thus suffer in obeying His command, to relieve the poor and needy, and to protect, far as I was able, the oppressed. And glory be to His name; and I thank Him that I suffer in such a cause. Glory be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and I can say it is a great honour thus to suffer, for the ser- vant cannot be greater than his Lord. I can now say with Paul, theased. The hour of my departure is at hand. and I am ready to be offered up. I have fonght a 2ood fight, I have kept the faith, and henceforth there is laid up for me a orown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judee, shall give me.' Say to all friends, an affectionate farewell; and that they must not grieve for me. for I die innocently. Assure Mr Airy and all others of the truth of this, Comfort your heart. I cer- tainly little expected this. You must do the best you can, and the Lord will help you and do not be ashamed of the death v,)or poor husband will have suffered. The judges seemed against me; from the rigid manner of the court I could nor ge< in all the explanation I intended. The man Anderson* made an unfounded statement, and so did Gwdon; but his testimony was different from the deposition. The judges took the former and era8pd 'h" ;-uter. It seemed that I was to be sacrificed. I kr.^w oihing of the man Boele. I never advised him to t"e c or acts which have brought me to this end. Plea" '.0 write to Mr Chamerovzow, Lord Brougham, and Vessrs Hencknell and Du Buisson. I I did not expect that, not being a rebel, I should have been tred and disposed of in this way. I thought his ixcellerioy the governor would have allowed me a fair trial, if any charge of sedition or inflammatory language were partly [?fairly] attributable to me; but I have no power fcontro): may the Lord be merciful to him. 1' 'r^ ieral Nelson, who has just come for me, has faith- fully promised to let you have this. May the Lord bless hin and all the soldiers and sailors, and all men. Say farewell to Mr Phillipps, also Mr Lioard, Mr Bell, Mr Vinon, Mr Henry Dulasse, and many others whom I do not now remember, but who have been true and faithful to me. As the general has come I must close. Remember me to Aunt Eliza in England, and tell her not to be ashamed of my death. Now, my dearest one, the most beloved and iaithlul," the Lord bless, help, preserve, and keep you. A kiss for dear mama, who will be kind to you, and Janet. Kiss also Annie, and Jane.f Say good-bye to dear Mr i),Avison and all others. I have only been allowed one hour. I wish more time had been allowed. Farewell also to Mr Espent, who sent up my private letter to bim. And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with ns all. • Yoar truly devoted and now nearly dying husband, 'G. W. GORDON. • I asked leave to see Mr Panther,I but the general said I could not. I wish him farewell in Christ. Re- member me to auntie and father. Mr Bamsey has for the last two days been kind to me. I thank him.' The same who obtained the warrant against Dick for tres- pass.— L.A.C. t These three are his sisters.—L.A.C. t The minister who officiated at Mr Gordon's Tabernacle.- L.A.C.

AMERICA. NEW YORK. Nov. 21 (EVENING). Several papers deny that the Government will issue another funding loan. The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the com- manders of the Philadelphia, Boston, and Ports- mouth navy yards to reduce the number of the y employes one half. A large number of workmen have been dis- charged from Brooklyn navy yard. Some prominent citizens of New York gave General Grant a grand reception at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening. Two thousand per- sons were present, including the naval and mili- tarv official notabilities. The Florida Convention has adjourned after abolishing slavery, annulling the secession ordi- nance, repudiating the rebel debt, and providing for receiving the testimony of coloured persons. The Mississippi Assembly has passed a bill per- mitting negro testimony in certain cases. General Howard reports that the negroes and loyal whites throughout the South distrust their ability to maintain their rights without the pre- sence of the Federal troops. 2-1 A national Republican bill will be presented to Congress, providing for the organisation and government of the rebellious States, by appointing governors, with power to Call Conventions to frame constitutions, which being approved by Congress, the reconstructed States will be admitted by special Act. Mr Schulyler Colfar, the prominent candidate for the speakersbip of the House of Representa- tives, has made a speech opposing the immediate admission of the Southern representatives to Con- gress. General Logan has not yet announced his ac- ceptance of the mission to the Mexican Republic. Mr Browning has accepted the secretaryship to the legation. NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (EVENING). The liberation of the crew of the Sbenandoah is stated to have caused a hostile feeling towards England in Washington. The New York Herald says that the govern- ment must demand the crew of the Shenandoah from England under the extradition treaty. The other papers are silent on the subject. The Washington Star says that the movement of Federal cavalry in Texas is not caused by any hostile feelings of the United States towards Maxi- milian, but because cavalry are much more service- able in Texas than infantry. General Weitzel has superseded General Steel in the command in Texas. Steel's removal is reported to have been caused by his being intimate with the Imperial officers along the Mexican frontier. The New York Times states that General Logan's appointment as Minister to the Republic was made in consequence of Maximilian's decree declaring the Republicans outlaws, against which the United States will protest. The Commander-in-Chief in Canada having had under consideration the possibility of Fenian raids during the winter, has called out six companies of volunteers, and ordered all volunteers to complete their number, and hold themselves ready for ac- tive service. The ship Harry West, which left New Orleans for Liverpool, with 3,000 bales of cotton, was burned at sea. The crew were saved. All the Federal cavalry regiments, except one, have been ordered to San Antonio, Texas. The New York Press assert that the Emperor Maximilian has ordered all troops to concentrate at Vera Cruz, the city of Mexico, and San Louis Potosi, and await reinforcements.

THE MANUFACTURE OF STEEL.—EXPERIMENTS AT THE MERSEY STEEL WORKS.—Some years ago Mr Bessemer, of Sheffield, read a paper at a meeting of the Social Science Association, broaching a new idea in the manufacture of iron and steel. Much wcuasion was occasioned at the time, tor the idea nos8ihiiw*el,one' and few PeoPle believed in the wi'boutfae). On Fri- the Mersey sVed\SPf"m?St3l»,h!<:h took Pkce rm«ihilitv and the w«rks demonstrated the Stlrit5 usefulness of Mr Jadies a„d gentlemen » experiments, amongst whom T Esq, M.P., chairman of the Meraey Steel a1^ Company Lieut. Colonel Bourne :M p, c Esq, M.P., Messrs J. C. Ewart, W. Laird, sen., J. Senior, E. Senior, JN. R°ss, Lockhartj Worthington Iron Company; J■ Campbell, Gallo- way, Vernon Halloway, Gibbons, James Bevan Thorburne (Glasgow), Boyd, Sweeny, Jack, Bent- ley, Higgins, Blaine, W. H. Daniels, H. Dawson, Wood, Sparrow, Ledward, Gibson, and other re- presentatives ot the iron trade. The experiments were under the direction of Mr Clay, managing director of the Mersey Steel and Iron Company, and Mr flealing. In the usual method of steel manufacture, the iron is melted in an ordinary iurnace, and IS then subjected to the operation of puddling. The average quantity manufactured would be about IS cvvt. per day per man and assistant. Under Besseinci patent, the iron is melted in a gas luinace, and is i;n poured into a large, oval-shaped vessel, called a ■ • ->verter. The converter is rotatory, and moved 1 hydraulic machinery. In the converter the uioiii- i,otal is subjected to virtually the same process js effected by puddling. The converter in supplied with air by means of tub-js, and when the iultluj metal is poured in the actiou of the air drives awav all the impurities which may remain. About 2o minutes serve to convert the molten iron inlo steel of the best quality. The steel is then poureu Irom the convene' into a large copper whence it is con- veyed into ingot moulds, being then ready for the market. The converter is capable of manufacturing 15 tons at once, and it is estimated that about 100 tons of steel per day can be produced by the labour of 15 men. The first experiment resulted in eight ingots ot steel, weighing about eight tons, and the second in ten ingots, weighing the tons. About two hours suffices to convert the cold iron into pure steel. All present expressed the greatest mterest in the .experiments and great satisfaction at the result.—Liverpool Post.
