IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—Duo tY, FEB. 6. The Loan Clitacutoa took his sat on the woolsack et o'clock. POPULATION OF THE DIOCESE OF RIPON. The Bishop of RIPON moved fora rettun ia order tooorreot an important rrror is the magus return of HSI, whereby the it... al the dimmer of Ripon cod York wen wroagly estimated, mad as a ociasequenoe the population of Ripon . was very considerably understated. Agreed to. REPORT OF THE VOLUNTEER COMMISSION. it was right that he shoulii do so at a time when they could be replied to. Mr. LAYARD—I am entirely is the bands of the house, but my hon. friend expressed to me this morning great anxiety on the part of himself and his constituents that Novas explanation should be given of this matter before the mail starts on Monday next The SPEAKER said that a minister in replying to a ques tion vas usually permitted to enter eomewhat more into detail than a private member would be allowed to do. At the same time it was a matter for the discretion of the minister how faz it was desirable to go into matters which might call forth observations from other members. LAYARD—I was carefully avoidisg making any comment. I was merely stating the facts upon which her • Majesty's government have acted. As I have said, the bodies were found at some distance from the shore, sod it was believed that the men had been murdered. A demand for redress was made, but a long time elapsed before any thing was done ; it was not, in fact, until the 18th of Sep tember that any steps were taken in the matter by the Brazilian government, One of the parties was convicted of stealing some of the property, but that was not con sidered sufficient by her Majesty's consul, and a further in quiry was demanded, but it was resisted until the month of August in the following year. At that time, Mr. Christie requested that an inquiry might be held at which a British officer should be present. That the Brazilian government refused. On the 4th of August it was announced that no officials had been dismissed for cul pable neglect whose conduct had been previously justified, but no step was taken with regard to the priocipal offender. After endeavouring to obtain redress, her Majesty's govern- ment, for the protection of British intends. took the steps which were resolved upon, though under a painful necessity, and instructions were given to Mr. Christie to demand reran. tion, and if it were refused, to give orders to the admiral in command of the squadron at Rio to make reprisals. In June great indignities were offered to two officers of the Forte, and reparation was asked for but not given ; but under the action of the British admiral the Brazilian government rto give as indemnity to the owners of the Prince of alt . awl to refer the other question to the mediation of an arbitrator. Mr. Christie, acting under instructions, con sented to those terms, and the five vessels taken in charge were immediately restored. lam happy to state that her Mejesty's government, havin the utmost reliance on the wisdom and judgment of the King of the Belgians, had itemeptecl him as arbitrator in the matter of the Forte. As regards the Prince of Wales, the Brazilian government have offered to pay a certain sum by way of compeosatios to the owners of that vessel, and her Majesty's government had sanded to that arrangement. By the last accounts from Rio the excitement which had been occasioned by the conduct of the British admiral had ceased, and as matters have been arranged satisfactorily, I earnestly hope that the amicable relations which formerly existed between the two countries will be speedily restored. (Hear, hear.) THE ADDRESS IN ANSWER TO HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. Lord LL.A!OVSIt &eked the Roder Secretary at SI for War whether it was the intention of the gOvernu3eut to protease any measures during the present eemion for the pure se of carrying out the recommendations contained in the report of the commiadoesrs appointed to inquire into the st-iW of the volunteer force of the country ! He said he apprehended that if the recommendations of the committee were about to be tarried out by her Majesty's government, the introduction of a money bill into the other loose of parliament would be necessary. In that case he veotured to recommend that the movement, of the govern ment should he as rapid as possible, in order to remove the uncertainty which at present prevailed. Kin DE GREY said that it was the intention of her Majesty's government to propose to parliament measures for substantially carrying out the recommendation' of the Volunteer Ounnitamon. For this purpose it would be neces sary to include a sum of money in the annual votes, and to introduce a bill into parliament proposing an alteration in theezisting volunteer acts. He thought it was not altoge ther expe di ent that be should then enter into details which would be better stated by his right hon. friend the Secre tary of State in another place, and he trusted that it would be sufficient, in order to allay the feeling of uncertainty which bad been stated to prevail on the subject, to an nounce that measures were about to be tutroduoed for the Purpoee of miming out substantially the rocommendatimm of the commission . (Hear , hear.) Lord HARDINGE wished toe:press him satisfaction that her Majesty's government intended to carry out the recom mendation, of the commission. He entirely agreed with the commissioners in thinking that unless some further aid' were given to the volunteers the force ran the risk of dis- , appearing altogether. He thought that the circumstance of parliament baring list year sanctioned a grant for fortifi- ! cations wee a further ground for their affording aid to the volunteers. He thought it, however, highly desirable that precautions should be taken to provide that the money should is carehally and strictly applied to the original objects for which it was voted, and be trusted that no money would be given to any man unless he showed that he was really engaged in vclunteer practice. Be confused he was one of those who thought that the tost of nine days' drill was somewhat below the mark. In tither respects he entirely concurred in the recommendations of the commission • and he further expressed a hope that the militia would be dealt with accordiag to the recommeudatimns of the Militia Com. mission. (Hear, hear.) Lord TRURO said that one of the ol*lsts for which the commission was appointed was to metro inquiries into the present condition of the volunteer body. He certainly thought that the utmost praise was dse to the commis sioners for the assiduity and industry they had manifested • at the same time he must say he thought that mange of the: report in which the commissioners expressed their gratifies time in Whig enabled to state that the present eraditioa of the volunteer force was, generally speaking, satisfactom and their belief that by steady poreeversoce in the course hitherto pursued it would prove a valuable similiary to the army as a means of defenoe, was hardly oussieteat with their recommendation that they should receive per aid from the country. Hitherto the annual expenditure of the force had generally been defrayed by its own inerabsee t , and if that were eufficieot to maintain it in a satisfactoey eendi lion, it did not seem to follow that pecuniary support by the country was required. He would observe aloe that his Royal Highness the Commander-in•Cbief had impulsed upon the volunteer body the great necessity of attending company drill, and had said that the volunteers led better be in their drill yards then be constantly going oat on add days. Now the commissioner", out of the nine drys of at tendsnce, recommended that six should be days of hattallea drill, sod three of company drill. He should havetheught it more consistent with the advice of the Commander-in Chief, that six of the drills Amid be company, and three battalion drills. No use could doubt that the moment government aid wee accepted by a corps, it would loge a great portico of its honorary members and donations. He thought, toe, that the volunteers ought to be permitted and encouraged is learn the use of field artillery ; for it must be evidest that in the event of an emergency they would have for less dif ficulty in finding guns than competent gunners. After • few words from Lord Vivian, Eerl DE GaEY said it was the intention of her Majesty's government to carry out the new regulations which hod been recommended ls the Royal Commissioners to adopt, Thosicurps which mig ht wish to expend any portion of the grant in elothieg, would be required to conform themselves to a certain definite role. At present the government had but one natteru of grey clothing, and it would no doubt be mummery to have others ; but at any rate it would be news . tory to follow the patterns adopted by the War-office. Their lordships rose at squealer pest six. The address in aid to the liu;en's speech having been brought up by Mr. BazLrr, on the question that it be read a second time, Mr. BENTINCK, speaking as an independent member, with reference to the proposed cession of the lonian Islands, expressed a doubt whether, since the introduction of steam navigatioo, we should derive any great military ideas age from the pommels al Cafe. He theeght that • great change bad takes piece in thin country during the lea few mouths on the subject sr the American war that it was atter cant to soy that slavery was the real hoot of condense, between the two parties in the war. With regard to the distress in the ememiacturiag districts, he believed that the stoppageef the supply of cotton was net the sole cause, Ina the lama amormat of the distress was occesiesed by over speculation. Mr. LOCKE mid that his coestitueste,who be/gaged win ' allay to the working chases, paid a very large portion of Ithe taxatiea of the country, am it mead lle admitted that tobacco, of which they were inch peat sonsumers, paid 3a. lin in the mead duty, end that thee pope and tea was also heavily taxed.

If the asylum had been offered and so aped in England there would be the inconvenience of the hie functions in this country. 7.II7IINSTONE said, with respect to the cession sf the lonise blends, he totally differed with the hoc. mem ber for Norfolk (Mr. Bestinck), and he meant to ask of her Majesty's government whether they bad looked at that =lemur. with regard to our communications with India. Sir J. TRELAWNY took the opportunity of impell ing upon the house the importance of considering the rights of the natives and colonists of New Zealand. Mr. HIBBERT could not agree with the statement made by the member for Southwark (Mr. Locke). that the unions in the distr.:ma districts had not availed themselves of the provisions of the act of last swiss. Out of the abeam or twenty unions constituting the cotton disable, ten or eleven were in a position amen themselves of the act, mid since the Christmas quarter two of these had mailed them selves of the rate in aid, and five of them were availing themselves of the borrowing powers. At the same time he was well aware that had it not been for the great sympathy shown for the distressed dis tricts, many others would have come under the Rate-in- Aid Act, and, as • representative of that district, he wished to take that opportunity of expressing the gratitude of Lancashire for the manner in which their fellow-countrymen bad come forward to aid them in their distress. The act of last session, however, should have justice done to it, and he had no doubt that before twelve months were over it would he • great assistance to Lancashire in enabling them to meet A nu SRAZILLiN DIFFICULTY. thediatreso which was still pressing upon them.

The boo. member re iosuoderatcod. In the month of June, 1861 her Majesty's ferred to • corrapwrience which had taken place between consul at Rio Grande do Sul heard that a Brazilian mama- the Poor-law Commissioner in Ireland and the English Colo trate had mentioned in conversation that the dad bodies of Milli/NUM, which showed that glum lartgolaritne some Englishmen had been embed on shore, but had denied in the administration of the law were el frepoth that there had bees say wreck. This led to inquiries being occurrence an d t h at I r i s h pa, WI b un * o w made, in 000segassee of which he (the consul) had ream with cruelty , ‘ „ a neglect, notwithstanding the to inspect that • British vessel had been wrecked on the revisions in the Removal Act Those paupers hal= coast, KW' that that wreck hail taken place some time pro teen exposed to the inclemency of the weather cm thwarb vine. to the conversation in which the magistrate of vessels, and iu some instances were leaded a ports 900 in 'Ossetic's' took put' No inquest had heel' _naa miles from their place of birth.

Mr.NIEWDEGATE pve notice that on Towlay next he should ask leave to bring in a bill similar in character to that which be olitained leave to introduce last megaton for the commutation of church rates. SAILORS' HOMES. Sir H. STRACEY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if it wee the intention of her Majesty's government to take nadir its conaideration the subject of sailors' homes repo rally, with a view to aid those whose means are not ade quate for their object, and which in its judgment might be deserving of assistance. Lord C. PAGET said that it was not the intention of her Majesty'sgoveniment to propose any vote to parliament for sailors' homes be end the usual vote for those in the vicinity of the paid in respect of those bills actually covered the whole ex. pease of conducting the public business in that house. The engineering and law expenses in obtaining the bill for the Great Northern Railway amounted to lido,oool. The hoe. member complained of the enormous fees which were paid to leading parliamentary counsel, who, he said, scarcely =their mouths in some oases, but left the work to union ; and said that whatever came of the bill the time had arrived when they should deal with an abuse which was unjust to the public, and reflected no credit on the bows. Sir P. O'BRIEN said the fortunes derived from railway undertakings were made by engineers and not by lawyers. He protested against any interference with the legal pro fession, in which, he said, free trade prevailed; and the public were the best judges whether a barrister was worth the fees be received. Be also objected to local inquiries, as the wont plan that oould be adopted. Mr. U. GIBSON said the question as to counsel was not involved in the motion. The boo. member for Peterborough proposed a plan for diminishing the expenses of railway bills, and for obtaining information in regard to them. If the hon. member could devise a scheme which would ac complish the object be sought with security to landowners and persons having the control of public works, he would confer a great benefit OD the community. He (Mr. Gibson) thought the house ought not, to such an extent as the hoe. member proposed, to part with the powers they now exer cised without a preliminary inquiry. It was possible that the hon. member might in the clauses of his bill have laid the basis of such a scheme as might be desirable to be adopted, and therefore he thought it well for the house to allow the hon. member leave to bring in his bill. Mr. Serjeant PIGOTT said no doubt there were abuses connected with the present system, and if the hon. member for Peterborough could devise a scheme which would free the community from those abuses he would be entitled to grad credit. He thought, however, his boa, friend would Sod greater difficulties in his way than be was aware of. If be could diminish the expenses in any way it would be a peat advantage, but that would be his great difficulty, and be did not thick that that object would be accomplished by loud inquiries. Mr. WHALLEY shortly replied, and the motion that leave be given to bring in the bill was then agreed to. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1863. ORIIRCH RATES. Bir J. TRELAWNY obtained leave to bring in a bill to abolish church rater. Colonel DICKSON obtained leave to bring in a ball to amend the law of drainage in Ireland. Yr.

The directors' report and the half-yearly accounts to the 31st of December, show the net retrains for the six mouths, after deducting interest on loans, sod all other preferential charges, to be 224,2241. 14s. 48. ; to which add ' the surplus atJuly, 1862, 2521. 19a. Bd., leaving a balance available for dividend 214,4771. 14e. From the above sum the directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum, payable on the 20th day of February, amounting on 7,381,2811 . 13e. 4d. of paid up capital to 221,4381. 95., leaving to be canted over to the current half-year 3,0391. ss. At the half-yearly meeting in August, 1862, disczetiowary powers were conferred on the directors for the disposal of all, or so much as they might think tit, of the capital authoriaed to be created by the " London and South Western Railway (Additions' Powers) Act, 1862," and, in accerdance with each resolution, an amount of 178,6251., ordinary stock, has been issued. The total capital of the company at the present time stands, therefore, thus :—Consolidated stock entitled to dividend, 7,381,2811. 13a 4d. ; pinderential stocks, 1,648,6191. ; un called, 321,9321. ; total, 9,361,8321. 1.35. 4d. The reduction in the rate of interest on the mortgage debt still continues to be effected, although the diminution is not vi n 7 large. It tend; however, to show that the renews!, hays bees made on favourable terms, inasmuch as the average rate of interest has been reduced from 4.20 per cent. to 4.16. The gross earnings of the company for the half-year exceed those of the corresponding period in 1861 by 100,5634 This has been earned over an increased mileage of 42 miles, in asmuch as during a portion of the half-year the mileage of the North Devon and Bideford Extension lines has been added to the compan' system, from the Ist of Augu s t, 1862. The traffic of t he past half-year has been of an excep tional character. The excursion traffic in cognation with the International Exhibition has operated favourably on the receipts, and the ordinary traffic has shown a satisfac tory and continuous improvement. The increase in the capital of the company has of necessity led to the allocation of a further portion of the Gaming; to meet interest ; this, together with the necessity of appropriating an additional sun of 10,0001. to the re-laying account and other charges against revenue, such as the accident account, for claims arising from the Wimbledon accident (all of which have sow bean Nettled and charged against the revenue account of the pest half-year) has also further tended to reduce the sum which would otherwise have been mailable for dividend. The rolling stock has been kept is good condition. The accounts of the locomotive and =Maga expenses continue to show a favourable result, although the rate per train mile is slightly increased beyand that shown in previous half years. This, however, is amounted for, inasmuch as during the peat half-year, in addition to the usual working ex which have been very heavy, six engines and tenders are been constructed and charged against revenue. An increased distance of 203,812 miles has been run by the en gines over the corresponding period of 1861. The permanent way throughout is in good working order ; portions of the Gosport and Dorchester branches have been re-layed during the past half.year, the re-laying of portions of th e ma i n li ne has alao been pro ceeded with, and a sum of 20,0001. has been charged 'garnet revenue in the peat half-year, and the amount a the debt of the renewal of permanent way ac count has been reduced by the sum of 13,0001. The directors regret that in the next, as in former sessions, there will probably be brought wider the coosideratiou of parliament several schemer which, if aanctioeed, would confer no petite advaotage, and be most injurious to this company's lumen', All these the directors will watch with mil will not omit to Mks such measures re spete n cting is they may think due to the company's inds.

ElliTllX.—The notice of adjudication of bankruptcy against George Mould, of Santander, Spain, contractor, advertised in last Tuesday's " Gazette," was inserted through a mistake of the omcer of the Court of Bankruptcy, and such notice is hereby withdrawn. lab) Inullfgenct. COURT OF COMMON PLEAI3.—Fas. 6. &Wags at Nisi Priam la lfiddlsmox.—(Botore Lord Chief Justice Brio aad a Special Jary.) TOXICELL o. THOMML-SZWING *Amens.. The plaintiff in this case was the 'Amigos.) of a patent for improvements in machinery for sewing and stitching, which was, on the 16th of October, 1852, granted to Mr. Judicial', an American gentleman, and the action was to recover da mages for an alleged infringement of this patent. Mr. Grove, Mr. Manisty, and Mr. Aston appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Bovill , Mr. Hindmarch, Mr. Web ster, and Mr. Murphy for the defendant. The case was called on at the sitting of the court, but so little progress was made that at the close of the day the first witaem was still under examination. The question in • . the cane will tarn upon a variety of resemblenees and dif ferences between a number of sewing machines, of which it would be impossible to convey an idea without an inspection of the articles. --- The cue was not concluded at the rising of the court. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Fut 6. (Before the Judge Ordisery.) FARMAN V. FARMAN AND DAVIS. The marriage took place in 1847, Farman being then a hall-porter in London. The respondent bad also been a servant in the same employ. There was one child born of the union. The respondent afterward, became addicted to drink, and at length came to the streets. The no -realm. dent was one " Salopy Dick," who was described as a ooster monger and a militiaman . The case having been proved. Sir C. Crewmen said the petition did not contain a direct charge of adultery. He must therefore direct an amended petition to be served on the respondents. Mr. Gibbon for the petitioner. COREY V. COREY. The petitioner, whowS; engaged in the merchant ear - vice, married the respondent in 1859. On the 20th of September, 1861. be went on a voyage, leaving his wife in respectable lodgings at Stepney ; and almost immediately afterwards she committed adultery with some person whom name was unknown. Themes was postponed for further proof. Dr. Swabey for the petitioner. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Fm. 6. (More Mr. Comminioner nine.) 13 TM CRARI.X4 STANBIED(!I. The bankrupt was described ma a merchant, of Panama. lane. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. The unsecured debts are 7441. ; the only items on the other side the amount consist of bad debts. Mr. Stanford opposed for Mr. Prefab, a creditor, and asked fora deficiency amount. The bankrupt had ariesd through the court in May, 1860. and it was desirable that he should show how his large deficiency had arisen in that interval. Mr. Goodday, for the official smignesasho required a goods amount. Mr. H. Reed was for the bankrupt. The order of discharge was adjourned. IN DI C. J. CLARK. . The bankrupt was astOckial;ker, d Southend, and of Hatton court, Threadneedleetreet. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. The unsecured debts and liabilities are about 2,1001. ; somata. Mr. Grover opposed, for the assignees, and eked for • cub account extending over twelve mouths. Au adjournment was ordered. ..1f RE ULRICH.-A CLAIMANT ON ME ADMIRALTY. .. --- The bankrupt, John Gottlieb Ulrich, was a watchmaker, of Weßelo's-square. He applied for his order of discharge, owing 6561., with no assets. Mr. Goodday, for the official assignee, offered no opposi tion. He stated that the bankrupt had expected to receive a reward of 10,0001. from the Admiralty, for the production of an improved chronometer, which should not vary more than two minutes in a veer. The Commissioner—What was the nature of the improve ment for which he claimed remuneration The Bankrupt—lntroducing a compensation for changes of temperature. lam in possession of official papers from the House of Commons, in which what I state is fully cor roborated. Though the Admiralty reward was obtained by one of the other competitors, the four judges appointed by the Admiralty, Mr. Webb, Hr. Vulliamy, Mr. Frodsham, and Mr. Barwise, all chronometer makers, were unanimous in their approval of my invention. I consider myself anti. tied to some remuneration from the government for my outlay in advertisements, kc., by which my present debts have been incurred. His Honour, observing that the bankrupt was evidently a parson of great ingenuity, granted the order of discharge. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN 111 FIIZDZIICZ DR CASTRO JONEN. The bankrupt, formerly • lieutenant in the Indian army, bad recently traded as a commission and scholastic agent, a Tavisto,ik-street, Coventgardeo. This was the sitting for examinatiou and ducharge. The debts were only 1494 ; no assets. Mr. Cearten opposed ; Mr. Sargood supported. It appeared that the bankrupt had been twice insolvent— in 1858 and 1858. He had • pension of 451. a-year in con. sideiation of bruises received during service. His wife had some property settled on her, worth about 2,1001.; but his interest in the property was assigned to a creditor. His Honour thought it was impossible for the bankrupt, with a wife and family, to set anything amde out of his mall pension of 451. Though he had been twice insolvent was not urged against him that he had contracted debts without probable means of payment. He would, therefore, receive his order of discharge. THE POLICE COURTS.

MARKET& MlGAR.—Bataan!, FEB. b more busioma doing in the sugar market, but the albs d the week have not been large ; prices remain steady, and are firmly anpported. Refiners' produce—The demand for refined goods bee Im proved, and sake are being made at fully late rates, to 6d. advance for choice parcels. Rum—About 50 puncheons Demerara have been sold at L. 6d. to la. 7d..proof gallon. OOTTON.—Lrvectroca., Fn. 6—On Friday last the market continued flat, with little doing, sod lower prices were again established, but on Saturday there was a better tone, with more disposition to purchase both American sod Fiat India. In the early part of the present week an increased demand wee expe rienced, and there was a recovery . of id. to id. per lb. on the low sales previously effected in both descriptions ; since then a more quiet tone has prevailed, and the market has become less firm, especially yesterday , but quotatioas of American and Bait India vary little from these current • week ago. The recent large import of Egyptian has been freely o ff ered, and a further reduction of at least Id. per lb. has been established. Brazil is unfavourably affected by the decline in Egyptian; the current qualities of Families were sold yesterday at Id. per lb. reduction, and Maranhataa are Id. to ad. per lb. cheaper, but the business in 3faosio Las been at a recovery from the comparatively undue re. duction submitted to last week, and quotations are some what raised. Smenlators have taken 620 American, 460 Forum, 520 Bah* 50 Meacham, 120 Smyrna, 140 Egyp tian, 5,540 Surat, and 350 Madras, total 7,810 bales ; and exporters have purchased 1,450 American (part for New York), 200 Pernam, 360 Bahia, 280 Egyptian, 210 Smyrna, 3,960 Surat, and 250 Madras, total 6,720 bales. The market to-day opens quietly ; probable sales about 2,000 Ulu, including 1,000 on speculation and for export. COTTON GOODa—ManclizaTre, Fan. 6.—The spirit of the market to-day has been one of marked deprusioq the immediate cause of which is due to the dulness and decline of the Liverpool cattle market ; but beyond that, sellers here prefer themselves at a loss to account for it. They say that evuything that bas lately come from Ame rica points to a prolonged continuance of the war. and that if the is eo they should have expected ruing priors and more confidence among buyers. Yarns have been remark ably quiet today, and some kinds might have been bought at Id. per lb. decline upon the rates of this day week ; but even at this serious decline there has not been much disposition for buying. There appears to be little or no demand for any market, home or foreign, and buyers seem to have no confidence in the present high range of prices being maititaieed. The cloth market has also been decidedly fiat. Manufacturers are asking the same prices as on Tuesday, but buyers are evidently dis trustful, and leas inclined to operate than for some time past, Where business has been proposed it has been scum =with offers of lower pewee than were asked on y, but we do not hear that in any case they have been acceded to, so that the huskies, has heen very limited indeed. Some people attribute the additional flatness and depression which has come over the market to what fall from Mr. Disraeli in the House of Commons last night, or rather what did not fall from his lips. His reticence hitherto on the American question is thought to have en couraged hopes which have been disappointed now that the oracle has spoken. CORN.— Smarm., FEB. s.—Our market to-day wee well supplied with English wheat, which *old slowly at barely the currencies of this day es'nnight. Foreign quiet, and the tarn lower.

Notwithstanding the abort supply there was quite sigilciecit fur the demand, and a few besets remained unsold. • large market for sheep, and trade was, consequently, not as brisk ; beat wethers fetched from &I. to B,}d. per lb., and very fat sheep could not be readily sold. A large quantity of store cattle, most of which sold well. A full supply • - :f pigs, which met a ready sale at last week's prices ; the Irish samples in the market were unusually large. A fair supply of milch cows, with an active demand, and nearly all the maims& brought to market changed hands. Prices ranged from 164 10e. to 191. A limited show of bones, and little improvement to notice in the trade. MATROPOISTA.W Fan HORPITAL, DICTONBHYRT.
