be allowed that Austria comes forward with a strength which will greatly surprise her enemies. When we add that the quality of the troops and the spirit which animates them are equally good, we are not over-sanguine in saying that some hopes may be entertained of success from such a formid able display." RUSSIA. A St. Petersburg letter of the 15th says : French ambassador has addressed a note to our Cabinet, in which he states that his Government, desirous of keeping the war within limits as nar row as possible, has given orders to the authorities by land and sea to scrupulously respect the rights of neutral States, and particularly those which have adhered to the declaration of the Congress of Paris. Our Government replied that the necessary orders had been given to Russian authorities and subjects scrupulously to obser.ve the obligations of strict neutrality in conformity with the terms of the said declaration of 16th April, 1856." THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Bucharest of the 15th states that the Austrian consul general had re-established diplomatic' relations with the Wallachian Govern ment, which he had interrupted on the election of Prince Couza. In a note addressed to the Govern ment he stated that he did so in consequence of the extraordinary circumstances which had arisen having prevented the conference on the Danubian Principalities from coming to any result, and that he hoped that his relations with the Government would be amicable. The resumption of relations had caused great pleasure to the Austrians in Wallachia. THE WAR. The following intimation that the Duchy of Tus cany is to be considered a belligerent country, to which the terms of the recent neutrality proclama tima are to be held applicable, has been received by Are6srs. Pietroni and Draper, in reply to an in quiry on the subject : . _ _ " Foreign-office, May 23. " Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Earl of Malmesbury to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st ins:., requesting to be informed whether her Majesty's proclama tion extends to'commercial intercourse with Tuscany ; and I ate to state to you in reply, that the Tuscan Provisional Government having sent its army to join the French and Sardinian forces engaged in war with Austria, and Leghorn having since been occupied by French troops, it canno4be doubted that under such circumstances Tuscany must be considered a belligerent country, and that neutrals carrying contrabands of war to Tuscan Ports are liable to the risks Pointed out in her Majesty's Proclamation. "I am, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant. "E. HAMMOND." Subjoined is the answer of the Board of Trade to the • Shipowners' Association on the question of contraband. The reply of Lord Malmesbury to a similar• application was published several days back : .. "Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, May 23. " Sir,—ln reply to your letters of the 16th and 18th Last., I am directed by the Lords of the Privy Council for Trade to inform you that their Lordships having submitted them for the consideration of the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Colincil, have received a reply to the effect that with a full appreciation of the importance, as well as of the questions submitted to them as of others which may arise, and of the magnitude of the interests concerned, they have arrived at the conclusion that her Majesty's Proclamation having already called the attention of the public to the only munici pal law on the subject—viz., the Foreign Enlistment Act, it is not for her Majosty's Governmeht to give any exposition of that Act with reference to any particular case. " I am at the same time directed to enclose for your in formation the copy of a letter from her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in reply to similar inquiries addressed to his Lordship by other parties.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "J.

The following particulars relative to the explo ' sion on board the Triton have been received from -Ragusa. The whole crew, excepting eight men, One of whom was the captain, was on board. Just before the vessel blew up, one of the boats had taken 15 men on board, and one of them gives The following account of what happened : Th e narrator, a . sailor named Sehmerhof s ky, 44111 gone back. to the boat to fetch some th' - when suddenly' an explosion took place, which was so very violent that the boat was upset. A rope got twisted round the man's neck, but with some difficulty he managed to loosen it, and to lay hold of a large piece of Wood which was floating near, him. On looking round, he found that he was in the midst of frag ments of the ship, disfigured bodies, and severed limbs. He heard his name called by some of his comrades, who begged of him to help them, "as they had lost their hands and legs." Two other men, who were sinking, caught hold of Schmerhofsky's legs, and it was not until after a violent struggle that he was able to disengage him self from their grasp. One mac, a certain Riesch, he managed to save by pushing a piece of wood under his arm. One of the men on board, who was at work at the end of the bowsprit when the explo sion took place, escaped uninjured. About 80 men were either killed outright or terribly maimed. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian visited the sur vivors in the hospital, and gave strict orders that every possible eare should be taken of them. CRIME IN FRANCE. „_ It m ay b e remem b ere d t h at i n August last Dr. silardout, physician of the palace of Fontainebleau, 4114 his wife, both advanced in years, were found murdered in their house near the palace, and that a robbery of their property had been committed ; also that a man named Faugeras, who had been in their service, was some days after arrested. This man, was brought to trial before the Court of Assizes of the Seine-et-Marne, and after the cir e,lstances'of the crimes had been stated, he for ,,tally admitted his g uilt, b u t accused the female hexi n g of th e d ecease d, w h ose name i s T a lb o t, o f been hi s accomp li ce. I n thi s accusa ti on persisted, • i n sp i te of t h e ve h ement d en i a l ef the woman. I n consequence s h e was ar l'ested, and the trial was adjourned to enable 1111 investigation into the man's accusation to be made. His statement was that while he was in _Dr. B ar d out ' s service an intimate connexion existed betwee n him and the young woman, and that they committed in conjunction robberies of wine and other things ; that they had plann e d a g reater robbery, and th a t i n the night of th e 29th of Au gust she had let him into the house to perpetrate ; that on penetrating into Ma dame Bardout's room the latter cried out, and thaa#Chhe murdered her by a blow on the head with that Dr. Bardout, who slept in the next ro e op mpe(rtilhaevinf heard the noise, +got up, and that he man's state ment then murdered him, being assisted in both Pr these murders by the servant. The marks tnent seemed to a certain extent probable from the fact that medical men thought, from on the persons of the deceased, that two ?persons must have, been engaged in the crime ; likewise because certain doors on the pas sage from the girl's room to the chambers of the Murdered personi were left partly open, and because it seemed strange that the murders could have been committed without the girl having, as she alleged, heard anything. But, on the other hand, it was ascertained beyond any reasonable doubt that not only had no intimate connexion existed between the young woman and the prisoner, but that it was she who had caused his dismissal from the service of Dr. Bardout for having one night entered her chamber and attempted to take liberties with her. The prisoner, when pressed, ' with questions, at last admitted that the charge a gainst the gi r l was unfounded; and he said it was he who h a d opene d t h e d oors, i n or d er t o throw suspicion on her. The consequence was that the examining magistrates declared that there was no reason for prosecuting th e girl. On Saturday the man was again lought to trial before the Court of Assizes of the Slim -et-Marne •; and after the facts of the case had be en related, and the man interrogated on th em, the President said :—” Faugeras, I adjure on to say whether or not Fou persist in your ac cusationssi, against th e servant. " The man remained 8111: was silent, "Do y ou , y es or no, persist i saying that your accomplice ?" " I can n on ly answer direct questions." " Speak, say what you please ; we listen to you." " I have not much to say. If I s,Pnke of the girl it was not to have her punished, l ot because it was the truth. But punish me 2", if you like ; I have ro objection." " Shall i i , " e e %all the girl?" "I shall say nothing against cY• " You have nothing to say against my nothing—that is all I say." The girl i;v a ks, then called, and solemnly protested that she no part in the murder. The jury declared the pri, one . A r guilty, and the Court condemned him to 'Leath. 0 cor n° wi hear ing the sentence lie was so over and th emotion that he sank down on his seat, had t o b e supported in leaving the court.— "o.gnant's Zessenger. THE stiN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY ` 'EVENING, MAY 25, .1859. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocii. Although the bullion operations at the Bank of England continue limited and the stock of the precious metals is maintained at a high point, the efflux of gold to the Continent is still conducted on an extensive scale. The specie received from Australia, America, and Russia, is at once trans mitted to France, and if a temporary pause took place in the consignments from those sources of supply, the drain from the Bank would probably be renewed. The money market, however, still remains in a very quiet state, and the terms of discount exhibit a downward tendency. First-class paper is nego tiated at 31, and even at 31, per cent., as the bankers and brokers are glad to find use for their capital at lower rates rather than keep it idle. As competition is thus excited, the markets get easier, and the impression is gaining ground that the minimum will soon have to be reduced to 4 or 3 per cent. Many persons consider that the alteration may be adopted within. the .next fort night, as the present regulations exclude the Bank from the discount market, and there is nothing in surrounding influences to justify the expectation of an early return of pressure. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon pre sented no alteration of importance. At the Bank of England there were no gold withdrawals yesterday. The dividend proposed by the London Chartered Bank of Australia for the last six months of 1858, is at the rate of 3 per cent., free of income tax, making a distribution of 6 per cent. for the year. Letters from Liverpool report that the cotton market, yesterday, closed steadily, and prices were fully supported. The sales were estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales. Business in the Railway Share Mirket was nearly suspended, and quota tions were without material alteration. In the English Stock Market to-day a small amount of business has been transacted at rather firmer quotations, the dealings having been re corded at prices fully equal to the highest point attained yesterday. The continued purchases for investment exert a beneficial infkence. The stock daily purchased on that account represents a large aggregate amount each week, and the dealers who are short of supplies find some difficulty in satisfying the requirements of the public. Speculation, however, continues depressed. Con sols have been 911 for money and account; but the present quotation is 91i 92, the market being decidedly firmer. The money business in cludes a purchase of £5,000 new Threes for the savings banks. Bank Stock remains steady at 220 to 2211 ; the New Threes and the Reduced at 901 91; the New, 21 per Cents. are marked 76 India Stock, 218, ditto Loan Debentures, 931, and Exchequer -Bills 18s. to 235. prem.

Immense operations arec county of Durham, on works, and while 70 men were busily mill rolling iron for railway pla d t e e s ponderous machine broke, spreading confusion and wheel making 70 revolutions a rents a t a i t l r i !1: ! 1 weight was about 20 tons, and its diameter 21- feet. prin cipal portion of the shattered fregm The machine fell into the wheel pit, but others to the right and left. One, weighing about three and w tons, was driven a distance of 29 yards and struck ag a-lial t f a wall, making a breach in it fully four feet in depth and two in breadth, passing on other 21 yards. Near to that n there is another fragment weighing one and a-half tons, d ee ply imbedded in the ground. The roof of the mill has been shattered some 160 feet in length, and 40 in breadth, and it fell upon four men while at work cutting iron at the shears in front of the flywheel. The men were buried be neath the ruins. Measures were at once adopted to extricate them, a very difficult task from the quantity of heated iron flying about. The first person discovered was Patrick farther, who had been killed instantly by the roof falling on him. Daniel Duffy was the next person discovered. He fell over a hot rail end, and is much burnt. He has also lost one of his fingers. Matthew Murphy, a married man, was found covered over by the slates. He is much burnt, and suffers from wounds in various parts of his body. Michael Duffy, the fourth man, was at the time of the accident c arr yi ng i ron f rom a waggon t o the shears. He a: knocked down, and the h uge m a s s of iron falling on his legs . they were dreadfully smashed. One of his legs has been amputated. DOCKS. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Lord Campbell, Baron Martin, and Sir Creswell Cresswell.) RATCLIFF V. RATCLIFF AND ANDERSON A preliminary objection was taken to the jurisdiction of the Court, in respect that the marriage and adultery were committed in India. 2. That the copy of the register of mar riages in Innia was not admissible as evidence. 3. That the co-respondent had done all he was able to do as compensa tion for the injury done by him, that he was not bound to leave the regiment, and that he was not liable to pay costs. Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of the Court to the effect-:-Ist, That the Court had juri s di c ti on t o enterta i n this case in respect that the parties were British subjects ; 2d, that the register of marriages in India having been kept by authority of the East India Company, and the copies thereof having been made by public authority, was admis sible evidence in this case. His lordship referred to the case of Sandwich v. Sandwich—Hubbert, 514; 14 and 15 Victoria, cap. 43; Green on Evidence, part iii., p. 34 ; Gardner's peerage case—House of Lords' cases, as autho rities on this point. And, 3rd, that all that the co-re - spondent had done in paying her expenses to England and an annuity of £loo a year, did not release himfrom his obli gation to leave the regiment and pay costs. Baron Martin - concurred. Sir Cresswell Cresswell said that whatever doubts he had at first as to the admissibility of the copies of the register of the marriage of the parties, they were now entirely re moved, as the copies were made by public authority. The Court decreed divorce with costs against the co respondent (Captain Anderson). Dr. Swabey applied for a settlement of an annuity for the respondent, but the court declined to entertain the applica tion. 98 100 18 20 30 31 70 73 89 91 91 95 li lid 21 11 13} 14 7 61d 100 103 100 103 100 103 95 98 10 17 174 18 11 17i 2. 2 di 2 2 di - -tt; -d -d 18 19 21 2d l 2 2d 2 14d, id par FOREIGN RAILWAYS.

This was a petition by the husband for divorce against the wife for adultery with the co-respondent. Their lordships were of opinion that the marriage and adultery were proved, and decreed divorce, with costs, against the co-respondent. KING V. KING AND DROWN. This was a petition by the husband against the wife for divorce for adultery with the co-respondent (part heard). John Parsons, solicitor, proved the marriage of the parties at St. Botolph's Church, Aldgate, City, in 1814. The alleged adultery was supposed to be committed on board the ship Vernon, on her passage from England to Bombay, 2d September, 1855. William King, Maria Wyatt, James Purnell, William Aspinal proved the cohabitation. Lord Campbell said the marriage and adultery were clearly proved, and decreed divorce, with costs against the co-respondent. Baron Martin observed he could have wished to hear farther evidence if it could be got. The co-respondent's counsel said his client was, at the time, 17 or 18 years of age, and it could be shown that the lady seduced and carried away the gentleman. Lord Campbell could not hear it. BRITAIN V BRITAIN AND CAMP.-(FURTHER REARING.) This was a petition by the husband against the wife for divorce for adultery with the co-respondent. This case was postponed to amend pleas. The respondent's counsel proposed on affidavits to prove l jt or add a plea of re-crimiziation against the husband on the evidence of her mother and his surgeon—that the peti • tioner at the time she left him was labouring under the lothsome disease of gonorhea. Lord Campbell refused the application. The respondent's counsel then applied for a small weekly allowance. Their lordships allowed her Bs. per week to be paid fur her to her mother. The respondent's counsel also applied for costs, on the authority of the case Diens v. Evans; Holt v. Holt, where costs were applied for de die in diem; Ling v. Ling, before this court, where costs were given under similar circum stances, where the wife had no money to pay costs. Sir Cresswell Cresswell said if costs were applied for be fore hearing costs were given, but after decree against her no costs are given under section 51 of the act. The petitioner's counsel opposed the application. £l9 had been already paid, and that was sufficient, besides Ss. per week to be paid. She can get her costs from the co-respon dent--Wells v. Wells (divorce cases). Lord Campbell said, to compel the petitioner to pay costs+ whether he was right or wrong, - would be monstrous. If the application had been made before the trial she would have got costs, or her attorney for her, but the Court cannot now give costs. Baron Martin had difficulty in understanding the grounds on which costs were given to a woman guilty of adultery against the husband ; they might be given to her attorney if he applied in time, but not having done so he lost his remedy. Sir C. Creswell said costs were given to the wife to enable her to defend herself, but here she had all the assistance she could have, and it was the duty of the attor ney to apply before hearing for payment of his taxed bill of costs. i Their lordships decreed divorce, without costs to wife's „;!torney, and without costs against co-respondent, as he wa s h : Poor man. COURT OF BANKRUTCY. (B e f„1 :Jr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN BE FREEMAN A! CHARTRES—THE COMMERCIAL 0 I,Es.,:IiTRANT. These bankrupts had carried on business at the Commer• cial Restaurant in Cheapside, anti were yesterday gazetted as bankrupts. The "Commercial" was set up against the " Patrician," and both have failed, the " Patrician" being also a bankrupt. Mr, Lawrance now applied for a private meeting, and one was appointed for Monday next. IN RE CARTWRIGHT.-AN AWKWARD EXECUTRESS•SRIP. Mr. Lawrance applied in this case for the allowance of the accountant's charges out of the estate. The facts were that the deceased husband of the bankrupt had been in partnership with other persons, and on his decease she con tinued the share business as executrix, and her liabilities caused the failure. As she had no knowledge of the ac counts she was compelled to engage an accountant, whose charges amount to £75. His Honour considered this to be a case within the meaning of the Act, the bankrupt being unable to render assistance, and made an order. IN RE WEW.I. This bankrupt was an apothecary of East India -road, Poplar, and applied for his certificate. In April, 18:57, he had a'snrplus of £6,675, and ho now owes to unsecured creditors, £7,861; to ditto holding security, £21,225. The assets are returned at £4200; property held by creditors, £33;380; profits, £2,797; expenses, £2,960. Mr. Pennel, in his ieport, stated the accounts had been well kept. The failure arose through building speculations. There was no opposition, and it appeared that the bank rupt had offered 20s. in the pound by instalments extending over three years, but ono creditor refused, and bankruptcy ensued. Mr. Lovell, for the bankrupt, said that the property had been greatly depreciated by the failure of Mr. Mare and the closing of the yards at Millwall, whereby 1,000 men had been thrown out of employment. Bankrupt had de voted the whole of his time to managing the property for the assignees. His Honour said there was no taint on Mr. Webb's cha racter, and as the failure might fairly be attributed to un avoidable circumstances, and as the accounts had been accurately kept, the Court had great pleasure in granting him a first-class certificate, and be would leave the court without a stain upon his chaMeter. SHERIFFS' COURT. BUCKLEY V. ISAACS. Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-row, appeared for the defendant, and stated that he had to apply for a new trial under rather novel circumstances. The defendant owed plaintiff £8 11s., and for this amount he was sued. The cause was appointed for hearing on the 18th April last, but plaintiff did not appear, and the cause struck out. Plaintiff was induced to call upon defendant, and defendant offered to pay £1 per week. This he did, but a new summons had been granted to plaintiff for hearing on the 16th May, and the defendant thought that would not be pro ceeded with so long as he kept up his payments. On the 16th May, however, plaintiff attended the hearing, and took judgment for £8 Ils., although he had received £3. Mr. Clarke now applied either to have that judgment set aside, and an order made for defendant to pay £1 per week, or for his honour to grant a new trial. Plaintiff said that defendant was told by him to attend the court on the 16th of May ; this defendant denied. Plaintiff—And the £3 has been paid into court. Mr. Clarke—Yes, but not by defendant. He paid you personally. You paid it into court. His Honour said it was not right to take a judgment for lls. when only £sllx. was due. He could not-grant the application. The only way to get over the difficulty was to let the matter go to a judgment summons, and then the or der could be made upon cause being show n . Application refused. As an example of the ludicrous insolcwe which accompanies the batharitv of General Gyulai's proceedings i n Piedmont, a printed -document has been circulating in Paris.

Numerous American families reside in Rome, Florence, and other Italian cities.

His Lordship advised that an inquiry should take place before a Coroner, and then suggestions could be made which would act as a preventive. Enquiries should take place as to the origin of the fire, and then some • thing definite could be arrived at. Some time ago the City authorities interfered in a case in which a person kept a quantity of naphtha in his premises. That person resisted, and the case was brought before a civil court, which decided that it was an indictable offence. His lordship said he should move in the matter, and no doubt some steps would soon be taken. The City Solicitor would be communicated with. Mr. Hubbard said the most dangerous article in their premises was spirits of turpentine. The City Solicitor said he should communicate with the churchwardens of the ward of Langbeurne, and the depu tation then withdrew, after thanking his lordship for his courtesy. THE ALLEGED POISONING AT RICHMOND. CORONER'S INQUEST (THIS DAY). The adjourned inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Isabella Bankcs was resumed this morning at the Court-house, Richmond. The result of the magisterial inquiry on Friday last, which was reported at length in The Sun, namely, the committal for trial of ,Dr. Smethurst on a charge of wilful murder, seemed to have increased rather than diminished the excitement, and at an early hour a large number of persons were in attendance anxious to obtain admission into the court. The proceedings commenced at the usual hour, but, con trary to all expectation, the prisoner was not in attendance. The Coroner, in accounting for the absence of Dr. Sme thurst, said a communication had been received from the Home-office, to the effect that as he had been committed for trial by the magistrates, on a charge of wilful murder, there was no power to compel the gaol authorities to be in attendance with their prisoner. He •regretted such a cir cumstance, but as it was a difficulty that could not at pre sent be surmounted, the jury would have to arrive at a verdict in the absence of the person most deeply interested. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, who appeared for the prosecu tion, said, at the magisterial examination of the prisoner, on Friday last, he had adduced the medical evidence, and the course he should adopt on the present occasion would be to hear that evidence repeated that day'as briefly as possible, in order that the inquiry might terminate in the evening , . Dr. Julius, Mr. Bird, Dr. Taylor, and the other medical gentlemen then merely repeated their evidence, the general opinion being that the unfortunate lady's death was caused through exhaustion produced by the administration of small doses of an irritant poison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS I)41 MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ASSAULT ON LORD GEORGE PAULET.—M a rgaret Welsh, a female about 35 years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting and annoying Lord George Paulet, as follow s : His lordship said that on the previous evening, about 11, he was coming out of the United Service Clubhouse, when he saw the prisoner at the bar standing at the bottom of the steps. She immediately, and in a very offensive man•• ner, asked him for a shilling, which he refused to give her, and she then followed him up Waterloo-place to near Regent circus, Piccadilly, He told her that if she continued to follow him be would give her in charge. She then ap proached so close that she trod on his foot, and he pushed her away from him. She then made a rim at him, attempt ing to strike him, and nearly pushed him off the pavement, and that moment a constable corning up he gave her into custody. She had repeatedly annoyed him in a similar way, and he had threatened to give her into custody repeatedly. In answer to questions by the chief clerk, his lordship said the demand was not made in the way of begging, but in a very different tone. He had known the prisoner for about 30 years, as a crossing• sweeper, but she had no claim on him whatever. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said she had been there 50 times on different charges—assaults, begging, &e. In her defence, the prisoner said his lordship had seduced her when a girl, and she had merely asked for assistance. She was very sorry, but would not do it again. His worship might do what he thought proper with her. , Mr. Bingham committed her for two months, with the view of stopping her annoyance. A deputation of the inhabitants and merchants of the ward of Lime. street waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-honse, this morning, and called his lordship's attention to the late calamitous fire . in that quarter of the City. Complaint was made that such a vast quantity of oil vas allowed to be accumulated in one warehouse. It was extremely dangerous in so densely populated a por tion of the City, and so near Leadenhall-market. The de putation were desirous of asking his lordship if some steps could not be taken to prevent for the future the recurrence of so dreadful a calamity: Messrs. Hubbard and Son, upon whose premises the fire occurred, were in a large way of business, and this was not the first time that such a conflagration had happened. Some time back a very extensive one occurred at their premises in East Smithfield purely by accident, but yet it was necessary for the sake of safety that the collection of such a quantity of combustibles should be prevented. The deputation had conferred with Mr. Alderman Cubitt, who advised their attendance here this morning. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

LEEDS, May 24.—For a Tuesday's market there has been a good attendance of buyers in the cleat halls to-day, and a fair amount of business has been done. Though light goods still sell well, there has been more done in ordinary cloths to-day than of late. Prices are firm, and the trade altogether is not so well as it was a fortnight ago. MANCHESTER, 24th.—We have had an improved —indeed au almost extraordinary, demand for India cloths tosday. in consequence of further private telegrams from Calcutta, through Bombay, to Ain it 24, giving still better accounts of the state of trade than were to hand last week. According to these advices all sorts of manufactured goods had further advanced in price under a large demand, with heal y sales for arrival. This has led to a brisk trade here in 40-inch shirtiugs, jacconets, and madapollamq. These goods, which had yielded a little in pricelait week, notwithstanding the favourable advices then to hand, have rallied very decidedly in price to-day, and close much firmer. The wider kinds of shit t ings for Calcutta, such as 45-inch fabrics and upwards, have advanced considerably in value, being very scarce, while the demand for them is pressing. Figured shirtings for the same market are also in fair demand. In other kinds of cloth, whether for export or home demand, the market is quite as fiat as it was last week, and prices were again somewhat easier. The yarn market is much the same as that for cloth. India Tarns arc in fair demane. at last week's rates, in some cases rather firmer. While the German buyers are out of the market yarns for the home trade, for China, and for the Mediterranean arc dull, and about. id. per lb. cheaper than last Tuesday. iIIEMBERS RETURNED TO SERVE IN THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

Nearly the whole of the supply of English wheat brought forward on Monday was on offer here to-day. The receipts fresh up, coastwise and by land carriage, were small. Very few large buyer~ were in attendance, and the trade ruled heavy in the extreme, at an average decline, when com pared with last week, of 5s per quarter. Foreign wheat was in good supply and heavy request, at 3s to 4s per quarter less money than on this day se'n night. There was a moderate inquiry for barley at about previ- ous currencies. We had a dull inquiry for malt. supported. Prices, howeier, were Oats, beans, and peas moved off slowly, at about Mon day's quotations. Flour was very dull, and most kinds were loier to purchase.
