Shortly after signal was again made, and Admiral Johnstone, accompanied by his Flag-Lieutenant, proceeded to inspect the several gunboats comprised in the first division, and on returning to the Formid able complimented the several commanders on the rapidity with which the gunboats were manned, and the cleanly and serviceable appearance of the respective crews.

LONDON SCOTTISH VOLUNTEERS.—This corps mustered at their hed quarters, Adelphi-terrace, last Saturday afternon, and preceded by their very efficient brass band, marched to Regent's-park, where they were put hrough a variety of battalion and light infantry mvements, under the command of their adjutant, Catain Page. Lord Elcho was on the ground, and xpressed the satisfaction he felt at the very credable turn out of the regiment as compared with otbr corps out on that day; but at the same time ho)ed that members would exert themselves more that they had been doing, as now was the period for ittruction in field movements. Parades were of litti use unless a majority of the regiment attended. Some members of the corps were always present,and these had expressed deep anxiety at the frequel absence from drill of the others, and it was to la hoped that for the credit of Scotland they would , ndeavour to turn out in still greater force, as the efficiency of the regiment en tirely depended upon tie regular attendance of all. It was requested that ca Saturday next every mem ber would make a poin. of attending at head quar ters punctually at half-last 4, as the regiment would that afternoon go to Epsom to be brigaded, with various other metropolitan corps, under the com mand of Col. M'Murdo, DAR was expected that on that afternoon they would tura out in great force, and sustain their character for punctuality. 26T11 MIDDLESEX (CUSTOMS) CORPS.—An inte resting and exciting match at 200 yards came off on Tuesday at the butts, Victoria Dock, between Pri vate Oram and W. Oades, Esq., both gaugers in her Majesty's Customs. The number of shots were limited to five, and the score resulted as under — Private Oram, six points ; W. Oades, Esq., four points. The comparatively short score is attribut able to the strong wind that was blowing and other causes, but by the friends of both parties who were present the firing was considered very creditable considering the peculiar circumstances. VOLUNTEER. FIELD DAY ON EPSOM DOWNS.—On Saturday next a brigade field day of several volun teer corps will take place on Epsom Downs, under the command of Col. M'Murdo, C. 8., Inspector General of Volunteers. Four of the principal corps have agreed to take part in it, and it is expected they will be commanded as follows :—lnns of Court, Lieut.-Col. Brewster; Queen's Westminster, two battalions, Cols. Lord Grosvenor and Lord Fitz gerald ; London Scottish, Lieut.-Col. Lord Elcho ; and the Ist City of London, Lieut.-Col. Warde. The above will be only the second of a series of field days which will be held this year. bitter ; the Government feels and acknowledges it, The conduct of the Cabinet since the unfortunate campaign of 1859 must clearly have Nowa to all that its policy is a policy of defence, and not of offence. (Loud cheers.) In regard to Venetia, I can only say that it will be defended by the whole country, by the whole empire." (Tremendous cheers in reply to another member of the Chamber of Deputies, Count Rechberg said that Austria and Prussia went hand in hand in the question relative to the constitution of Hesse-Cassel, but it is asserted that it was Count Karnitzki, the Austrian Minister in Cassel, who advised the Elector to insist on the maintenance of the electoral laws of 1860. Frede rick William of Hesse is playing a very dangerous game, and one which may perhaps cost him his crown. Daring the debate, on the 7th inst., Dr. Giskra made a very fierce attack on Baron Bach, the Austrian Ambassador at the Papal Court. The eloquent member for Brunn denounced the ex- Minister of the Interior as an upholder of a worn out system, and as one of the authors of the ill famed convention with Rome. " The Concordat," said he, "is a calamity for Austria. It is an offence against common sense, and it has introduced dis union and discord into the empire." Count Hartig censured Giskra for indulging in personalities, but still ,the House resolved to reduce Baron Bach's salary from 78,435 florins to 58,435 florins. AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANIES. The following are from Australian Mining Com panies ; PORT PHILLIP. The directors have advices, dated Melbourne, 25th March, from which the following are extracts : —Quartz Crushing.—During the month of Feb ruary the quantity of quartz crushed at this mine was 2,470 tons, which yielded 1,2550 z. of gold, being an average of 10 dwts. 4 gre. per ton. The receipts on Clunes' account were £2,164, and the payments, £1,894, showing a profit of £270. The total outlay per ton of ore crushed was thus 15s. 4d.; the expenditure, however, includes £267 cal cining and delivering quartz, £230 addition to stock of firewood, and £3OO for a steam-engine, amounting together to £797, deducting which the outlay per ton is Bs. 10ld. The quantity of quartz crushed in February shows an increase on the January return, but is rather under the general average ; this is caused mainly by occasional stop pages of the machinery through short supply of quartz. Profit for the month is small, and has been so since November, owing to two causes—viz. extra expenditure and diminished yield, and in both these respects I expect we shall, after this month, show an improvement. Machinery.—This is all in good working order, and the stone-break ing machine has not got to work, and, I trust, will prove a saving on our present calcining process. Clunes Mine.—The main shaft is now down 374 ft, Sinking has been for the present discontinued in consequence of the influx of water. The large pumps are being put down, and it will be a month before sinking can be resumed. A remittance of £l,OOO has been received by this mail. ENGLISH AND AUSTRALIAN COPPER. The directors have received advices, dated Ade laide, March 26. The quantity of coal at Kooringa was 309 tons, and at the Port Works about 55 tons. Four vessels, with 1,446 tons, were discharg ing, and two other ships, with about 1,000 tons more, were expected daily. The number of fur naces at work at Kooringa was four, and at the Port Works four; also one refinery was at work at each place. The whole of the company's operations were proceeding satisfactorily, and the horses and mules were doing their work well. GREAT NORTHERN. The directors have received from their superin. He states :—" Captain Morrison having given a detailed report upon the company's mines, it is un necessary fox me to go over the same ground, more 'especially as a report coming from a gentleman pro fessionally acquainted with mining operations, must necessarily have more weight than anything I could say." Captain Morrison's report :—"Mine No. 7 I found the men sinking the present whim shaft, which I find is off the lode, it having taken a turn to the eastward under very great difficulties, the water being so quick that they were only able to work one-half of the time. I also visited the vari ous sections on the westward side of the property and found them all containing, at a shallow depth and all over the surface, innumerable small bunches of ore, consisting of the green and blue carbonates, but not at all settled. Mines Nos. 9 and 11 I found looking far more favourable and quite a change of ground, it being more settled ; the lode is visible, and can be traced through both sections, containing some very fine specimens of red oxide, and it is here, I think, the body of ore will be found. The Eastern Mines, and also the Mount Chambers Mine, are exactly of the same character as Nos. 9 and 11, and by the erection of an engine and sinking some 40 fathoms or more the result will prove favourable. Mount Stuart Mine.—A very fine and promising lode, visible on surface, averaging some 7ft to Bft in width ; a shaft has been sunk some 20ft from the lode, so as to strike at the 20 fathoms level, but has been discontinued; in going down they met with some small branches underlaying east and apparently coming into the main lode in depth. Two Brothers —Very little if any work has been done here; the lode is quite traceable the whole length of the section, showing some very rich stones of ore, but apparently very much pinched and greatly mixed up with iron. Nuccaleena Mine—We are breaking some rich ore in the back of adit level No. 1 ; also in the winze, which is holed to the deep edit level." NORTH RHINE. The advices from the local committee are dated Adelaide, March 26; they state :—"You will see by Captain Barkla's report that the sinking of Cope's engine shaft to the 60 fathom level has been pro ceeded with all possible despatch, and that that depth will be reached by the end of the present month, when he Rill at once commence driving north and south at that level, and expects to cut the main lode by the end of April, when we trust such discoveries may be made as may tend to ren der the future prospects of the mine encouraging 2' KAPIINDA. - Tao directors have advices dated the 26th March, repotting favourably of the operations in progress. The January ores were 292 tons of 141 per cent. average produce, equal to about 42 tons of purb copper,and the yield for February was estimated at 200 tons of somewhat higher percentage than re cently re?orted. The quantity of copper made in February was 50 tons, and the shipments since the last advices are further 11 tons per Luisa, making 733 tons in that vessel, 91 tons per Venilia, and 42 tons in couzse of shipment per Northern Light, all direct to London; The copper roaster and refinery had been under repair. Fuel was coming in steadily, sufficient to pievent the stock being much reduced before the wet weather. NORTHING. Thee have received advices f rom th e company March 26.

Smelting works going on well. The mine never looked better, especially in the 33 fathom level, where there is a fine course of ore, which by stripping the sides of the level has been found to be from 4ft to three fathoms wide. BON ACCORD. Tho directors have a letter from the chairman o 7HB AUST.RIAN CHAMBERS. A letter from Vienna, dated May 9th, says that on the 7th inst. Count Rechberg, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, acknowledged to the Chamber of Deputies that the policy of Austria in respect to Italy had been ill-judged. The debate, which was of equal interest and importance, was opened by M. Kuranda, one of the representatives of this city. In substance his speech, which was of great length, was as follows : " We are called on to vote supplies for the Fo . ' reign Department. If we grant the various sums demanded we shall tacitly express our confidence in the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and it therefore appears desirable that we should previously obtain an insight into his opinions on several matters of importance to the empire. Since the establishment of the German Confederation Austria has had four political epochs. During the whole of the first epoch—that of Metternich—Austria was the great champion of reaction. She believed that any free movement in Germany would be highly pernicious to her, and she acted accordingly. In the year 1848, when the second epoch began, the different --4: Parliament at Frankfort. NotwitEstanding the uejueb iieuteueau which Germany had received at the hands of Aus tria, her sons were invited to send representatives to Frankfort. The invitation was accepted, and it was owing to the Austrian members of the Frank fort Parliament that there was not a complete rup ture between their own Government and Germany. When Prince Felix Schwarzenburg took office the third epoch began. The Prince, a very bold and energetic man, played a great game, and won it. His success made him haughty and overbearing, and he was solely intent on increasing the power and influence of Austria abroad. He speedily did away with the constitution of the 4th of March, 1849, and by restoring the absolute system he alienated the friends which Austria had acquired in Germany and elsewhere. The fourth epoch began when his Majesty the Emperor again gave a constitu tion to Austria. There have been very many changes of men at home ; but Austria still has the same representatives abroad. After such a thorough re. form in the interior of the empire, there ought to be a corresponding reform in the foreign policy of the Government. We must, therefore, ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether he has told his agents in Germany that, the Constitution being a reality, they have to act in accordance with it. The next question to be put to the Minister for Foreign Affairs relates to Italy. Had there been no treaties of 1815 there would hardly have been an Italian question. Ever since Austria has been an Italian Power she has been in difficulties. She has been obliged to maintain enormous armies, to have recourse to military interventions, to convoke de spotic congresses at Tropau and Laibach, and en ormously to increase the national debt. The results of her violent efforts to maintain her position in Italy were the Treaties of Villafranca and Zurich: Our diplomatists displayed their total incompetence at Zurich, for we should now have no territory in Italy had we not retained possession of the redoubt able Quadrilateral. In my opinion, however, it is no great misfortune that we have lost our so-called Machtstellung (political position and influence) in Italy—that we have ceased to be an Italian Power. ' Venetia we must hold and defend to the very last! Not in order that we may have p ower and influ ence in Italy, lAA beenlige Venetia (the Quadrilate ;e tea hulv ark. of Austria, Bavaria , and South ern Germany. tt lb - , ot to be expected that the Austrian Minister for Fot , Aign Affairs should consi der the Treaty of Zurich waste paper, but he will do well to recollect that these are not the times for a policy of restoration in Italy." When Count Buoy e-as Minister he was in the habit of making tse of the pen of M. Kuranda, but as soon as Count :teehb7g took office all connection b e tween the Foreign Department and the editor of -Deut oBchfethePost ceased. It is therefore much Minister for Foreign Affairs the ttuh O h a the he a t credite display e atio irritation while his policy was an imadverted on ly a man for whom he has a posi tive dislike, if no a strong antipathy. The sub stance of Count Rehberg's reply is as follows: "as touched on matter of extreme delicacy, .311 reply to his questions in as Kuranda l stra i g htforward way as I, in my capacity of Minister of the , rows, can venture to do. The Imperial Goverment i. but is firmly resolved to maintain the union with, ad also to uphold the position of,. Austria in GermeY. (A few cheers from the par tisans of Goverruent.)

When the papers relating to i are published, it will appear that the rights wMI Austria acquired by the treaty of 1853 havebeen strictly upheld. (A few faint cheers.) In Ppect to Italy, it may be said that the meddling I the internal affairs of that country has been aended with most unpleaaant consequences. The7uits of that policy have been THE ARMY.

The 17th company of Royal Engineers will coin plete its rifle training in the course of the present week, after which it will be raised to its proper strength preparatory to proceeding from Chatham to the Curragh Camp, to take the place of one of the companies despatched to Canada. Nearly the whole of the Royal and Indian Engineers at head-quarters, Brompton-barracks,havecompleted their field-work instruction, with the exception of escalading, which they are to practise, in conjunction with the troops of the line quartered at Chatham garrison, on stated occasions during the summer. The first operations of the kind for the seabon took place on Monday last. The Sappers and Miners engaged on the field-works have nearly completed the formation of the double sap in front of St. Mary's Casemate barracks, after which the whole of the present works will be completely demolished, and the ground pre pared for a more extended series of works, which is to be executed by the officers and men during the summer months. _ _ _ ________ The chartered troopship Middlesex, 1,190 tons, Captain Cammell, belonging to Messrs.

He reports that Whitford and his party of miners (until recently working at the Burra mines) are working in the Bon Accord, in the locality where they lately suggested a trial ought to be made, and offered to make it—viz., to the west of all the work ings previously executed on that property,—but without their having been long enough so em ployed to determine what was the probability of their ultimate s access. The instructions sent to the committee of management at Adelaide by the direc tors in March, to carry out certain other explora tory operations, as recommended by Captain ).illcy, on the Bon Accord property to the east of all woi k ings hitherto executed on the p ro p erty, had not vp to the date of the present despatch been received or anticipated ; but they would b e acted upon when received, as they were positive in their terms, though the operations contemplate d by such in structions were neither very extensive nor expensive. The chairman of the committee states, " I am still 01 opinion that it is at the lower levels where ore alone will be found if it is in the property (of which I cannot bring myself to believe that there is a doubt). We have hitherto been most unfortunate in our attempts to discover it, but we have had many difficulties and discouragements to contend with, and much of the property is yet unexplored." WHEAL ELLEN. The following is the report of Captain Frisk, dated the 24th of March :—" At the pitch on cop per at Opoucc'a ehaft tho lode in the back of the 30-fathom level, south of the shaft, varies from 6 inches to 1 foot wide of black oxide and a little mundic; the tributors have weighed off 11 tons of ore, and aie getting another parcel ready. An intermedirte level has been driven north of the shaft, at the depth of 26 fathoms, where the lode is six inches wide of black oxide, which has justified our putting four men to drive north at a doeper point, where the lode is larger, composed of mundic and spotted throughout with copper. We hope by driving this level to open up productive ground. At surface, the new calcining furnace has been com pleted and set to work, calcining dressed galena and carbonate ores. The blast furnace is being rebuilt." DUN AIOUNTAIN. The directors have the following intelligence from their committee and manager, dated Nelson, New Zealand, March 11:—" The December Eng lish mail has not arrived. Up to the present time about 270 tons chrome ore have been deposited on the wharf, of which about 70 tons are already shipped. The mail steamer leaving for Sydney to morrow will take about 65 tons, and by several other opportunities, including ships on the coast, we shall get away about 700 tons, which will make a considerable inroad upon the 2,000 tons so long waiting transmission. You will observe from the engineer's report that the south-west copper lode still continues encouraging, the ore improving in character as the mining proceeds ; but, pending the report expected from Sydney upon the ton sent them by the last mail steamer, we are unable to speak definitely of its actual value. In the mean time you will probably have received the ton of which we advised you in our last, and be yourselves in a position to determine its worth for copper. Our present staff is calculated to bring down about 4,000 tons per annum." BILLETING OF 3IILITIA. 111E.N ON INNKEEPERS. At the Doncaster Borough Police-court, on Mon day last, before William Chambers (Mayor), Chas. Jackson, and William Sheardown, Esqrs., a case of great importance and interest to licensed victuallers was brought under notice. Mr. Hawksworth, the landlord of the Black Boy Inn, French-gate (long-established in Doncaster), attended by arrangement. without summons, to nt, a vq. pf refusing to provide certain mi -1 vates of the 3a \\ est ork Militia with a hot meal on Thursday last (the day the regiment assembled at Doncaster), contrary to the tenour of the act o. Parliament. The facts of the case on the part of the billeting sergeant were these :—On Thursday last, 20 men were billeted on Mr. Hawksworth, notice having been given him on the preceding day that such a number would be sent to his house. As the men reached the town they were billeted off to the dif ferent inns, and towards the 20 to be provided for by the defendant, six were sent at noon, and the billeting sergeant followed with three others him self. When he reached the inn he saw the six standing at the gate, and they complained to him that the landlady had refused to provide them with the hot meal to which they were entitled. He ac cordingly went to see the landlady, and inquired from her how it was that the meal was not ready. She told him that when the whole of the 20 men came she would comply with the law; and as she declined to find the nine men with something to eat he marched them off to another inn, and under the direction of the colonel of the regiment these proceedings had been taken. Two of the privates corroborated the evidence of the sergeant, and dis tinctly stated that Mrs. Hawksworth refused to furnish them with a hot meal until the whole num ber of men billeted at the house arrived, but who it was stated could not possibly be sent that day owing to the non-arrival of the men. Mr. Wright, in a very able speech for the defen dant, denied the charge in toto, and he contended that the act of Parliament never contemplated, and it was never intended, that innkeepers should be put to the annoyance and inconvenience of p roviding separate dinners for each militiama n as he p resented. himself. The men were summoned to . op u p e c s a t r io a n t head-quarters at 10 o'clock on the day and if they did not do so it was not the in faU l lt of the innkeepers, nor a circumsta nce for which they could be called upon to suffer. Mrs. Hawksworth was then called. She stated that when the six men came to her husband's house they were followed immediately after by the billet ing sergeant with three others. From some rep re . sen t a ti o ns made to him by the six men he came to her, just as she was proceeding to cut them bread and cheese, as their hot meal was prepari ng' and tol.l LcY that, the men must have th e i r h ot dinnrr immediately, and that she must prepare them some beef-steak. She said she could not think of doing so, for there was a piece of beef 231bs. in weight then roasting before the fire, and puddings and vegetables boiling. It would be ready in about half an hour. She complained to him of the inconveni ence of the men Com i ng at different times, but did not refuse in any way. The sergeant said "If you don't get them a beef-steak I'll march them all away," and sh e rep li e d " Well, then, you must do so," and he accordingly took the nine men elsewhere. The Bench referred to the act of Parliament, and ultimately the defendant NG as convicted in the low est penalty of £2 and costs, the Mayor dissenting from the decision, believing that there had been some misunderstanding between the sergeant and Mrs. Hawksworth, and Mr. Wright applied for a case fur the superior court, which was granted. TAKING WINE.—Let every guest help himself and challenge his neighbour to wino ; it begets good fel lowship, and avoids the annoyance of awkward servants blipping the wine into your glass. People forget that the good old fashion was abandoned on the Queen coming to the throne, who, as a girl, could not challenge her guests to take wine ; and thus it became the fashion to imitate her Majesty in that which to her was a matter of necessity. —limners and Dinner Parties.

The [ affect of both pills and oin tment is conetant and Certain, At last we are glad to say a system has been ar ranged by which, on the whole, a tolerably accurst register is kept of the number who enter the build ing daily, and distinguishing those who pay from those admitted by season tickets. Judging from this record, which has just been completed, it is evident that the daily attendances fall much short of those at the Exhibition of 1851. On the other hand, the proceeds arising from the sale of season tickets have ev en up to the present date been greater upon this occasion than on the last. In 1851 the total number of season tickets sold up to the Bth of July was 25,076, yielding £66,491 ss. ; whereas up to the day before yesterday the sale of season tickets was 21,461, yielding £78,838 4s. to the Royal Commissioners. Deducting from thisfive the a mount due to the Horticultu ral Society on the guinea tickets, the Commissioners have still in hand £70,819 95., or nearly £5,000 more already realized from season tickets than had been la ceived from the same source in 1551 up to the Bth of Jals. Of the bye fundssou rsources course, these increased receipts arc entirely d ue to the increased mice of the tickets ; bu t, a p art from this, e o s f o t f he re C v o e tu nu m e i N 7 lie ti l o ti were Commissioners a s l t m i l o furtherst aided over looked, or not adequately tendered for on the last occasion. The price paid for the refreshment eon tract now is more than three times greater than in 1851 ; the Illustrated Catalogue alone will this time yield the Commissioners between £ 5,000 and £6,000 profit ; w hile for the privilege of taking photographs,which was not thought of in '5l, about 1,500 guineas has been paid on this occasion. From these and other things of the same kind the general exc hequer has been reinforced to a much greater extent than in 1851. That there will be a surplus is neither expected nor desired ; but that the re ceipts will cover al l expenses is now regarded as almost a certainty. One step made towards it is in the consent of the Commissioners, given yesterday, to issue shilling tickets for shilling days, and simi lar day tickets for the half-crown and five-shilling days. This has, we believe, been done in the case of the shilling tickets, incompliance with the wishes of large employers of labour in the country, who wish to distribute them among their workmen, and also for the convenience of many societies who have offered to take large numbers. These tickets are to be sold in packages of 10 and 20 at the build in g and the various agencies. The decrease of numbers after the two or three days immediately following the opening is attri buted to the general impression abroad, that the whole interior was utterly unfinished, and not worth seeing. This idea which was almost correct on the 2d and 3d of May, i, however, by no m eans correct now. The English side of the build ing may be practically said to be quite cory3plete, as far as the exhibiteion of articles that goes, everything. and the foreign side is so wll advanced will be perfect before the end of this week.

The picture galler have from the outset been crowded —at first, to the in jury of exhibitors in the galleries of the main building, but now that the beautiful contents of the latter are known, they, too, are thronged with visitors, and here, as everywhere else, the best things are being rapidly secured by purchasers.

MANCHESTER, May 13.—1 f our market WAS in , active last week through the absence of advices ex pected from America, the news so little anticipated of the fall of New Orleans has not improved the state of things. In cotton at Liverpool the usual official telegram says there is no change, but private telegrams say prices are in favour of the buyer. n this market the effect of the American account I s somewhat counteracted by the advices per letter and telegram from India and China. In India, at the date of last advices, they would have acquired. the knowledge that there was at length a lessening of exports hence, and the markets had improved. As the accounts from this country of sendings would continue to show the desirable change to which Nvo have adverted, it is anticipated that we ma y con tinue to hear further luipruvutuuutz, uutl this belief has led to a more cheerful feeling than was expected. We have not had an improvement of business since last week, but things are no worse, and manufac turers are still inclined to hold with much firmness. Many sellers are inclined to treat the news from America lightly, and express an opinion that it will not lead to an increased supply of cotton ; but this is not the opinion of merchants, or, if it is, they de not back their confidence to that effect by opera tions in the cloth market. The impression of some of our shrewdest men of business (some of whom have private agents in Charleston and New Orleans) is that the blockade will be rased on the fall of these ports, and they say there can be little doubt that if the Mississippi is opened many of the planters, who are much pressed for money, will undoubtedly ship all the cotton they can on the first opportunity. Not only has the Manchester cloth-market been inanimate to -day , merchants declining to buy (except, in some coo, to supply pressing wants, and then only in sma ll quantity), but yarns have also been remarkably quiet. There is, however, notwithstanding, little or no decline in prices. Spinners are very firm, expressing a belief in many instances that, whatever may be the prospects in the future of a better sup ply of cotton, there is every probability that prices any quarter. I‘.lessrs. their report of this day's must yet go higher before relief comes. The market is much firmer than was anticipated, though no t f h o e r is do ing i n n. ° cloth market, say actual John si a g business an and There is not the slightest change in the market to report since Tuesday last. There are later accounts by telegraph to hand from Bombay and Calcutta, a, showing a further slight improvement in both markets, but they have not led to any I mprovement here. On the whole, the market continues exceedingly disposition to give way in prices." LEEDS, 13TH. Th e slight improvement noticed in the woollen cloth trade here last week is main tained, but it has not at all been increased. To-day's markets in the cloth-halls have been steady in tone and price, and quite an average amount of business for a Tuesday's market has been done. The home trade is more lively than of late, and the foreign trade is no worse. The manufacturers of heavy goods aro better employed than they were a month ago, but there is still a good deal of both hands and machinery only partially employed. ROCHDALE, 12TH.--This has been a quiet market for flannels. Manufacturers are indisposed to make any abatement from the current prices, or more goods would have been sold and orders given out, as there were buyers present who made offers. Still nearly as much business was done as last wee k ' Fancy flannels command the most attention, but rather more is doing in plain ordinary goods far better home market. Yorkshire goods meet with " stead sale than of late.
