MONEY MARKET AND COMIVIETICIAL INTELLIGENCE. ..._ CITY, Two o'CLoCK. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the otton M ar k et yesterday presente d a very h eavy appearance, and prices of all descriptions were un altered. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, 1)000 of which were taken by the speculators. The rta ilway Share Market closed quietly, and the quo tations slightly declined. A . The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the four months, ending the 30th April, the been published. From these it appears that ' h ue total de c l are d va lue of the exports from the United Kingdom for the above period was 32)861,7231. against 38,813,337/. in the like period 0118 57, being a decrease of 5,851,6141. The de crease is perceptible in coals and culm, cotton m anufactures, earthenware, haberdashery and Millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manu factures, linen yarn, silk manufactures, thrown a uk, British spirits, sugar, sheep and lambs' wool, Woollen manufactures, and woollen and worsted Yarn, The importation of the principal article 3 were cloves, lar ger in respect to coffee, corn, flour, guano, rice, pepper, and unrefined sugar ; but there is a dec rease in live animals, cocoa, raw cotton, dyeing st uffs, flax, fruit, provisions, raw silk, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' wool. The shipping accounts exhibit a slight increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the four months as regards the entries inwards, but there is a de crease in the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for the same period, com pared with that of the previous year, there is a de crease in the tonnage both in entries inwards and clearances outwards. Small amounts of gold continue to flow into the Bank of. England, which together with the sluggish demand for money, and increasing resources of the national establishment have revived the discussion With respect to the possibility of a reduction in the cMcial terms of discount. The expectation of such 4 measure, however, is far from being general, not- Withstanding the accumulation of notes and gold. he current terms for accommodation range as low As 21 per cent., but the average quotation is 21 per Cent. From the report issued by the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, it appears that the directors will be prepared to declare a dividend at th e r a t e o f 7 per cent. per annum, and to increase the reserve fund to 16,5531. 2s. The annual general meeting of the Oriental Gas eempany took place to-day ; Captain James 13arber presiding. The report stated that gas hgliting was at last introduced in Calcutta, where 55 lamps were established in the principal streets, and had excited the wonder of the natives, who continually resorted there. It was most painful to the directors to report that their engineers had b een all carried off by cholera, but subsequent ar rangements had been made for extending the ad- I 'Matages of gas, which had progressed in spite of t he mutiny. The sum spent hitherto had been I lbout 71,0001., and the remainder had been judi ti°llBlyinvested at a high interest.; so that the bene iscould be given to the shareholders in the shape °f a dividend on tl.e registered shares. This was fired at 4. per cent. per annum, and was agreed to, when the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks Was passed to the directors. In the market for Public Securities to-day there. has not been much variation, the speculators being linw deterred from active dealing through the Proximity of settling day. The Other departments Of the "House" are equally quiet, and the brokers complain of the general indisposition now evinced to enter into operAions. At the same time, it must ba remarked that the Funds, if they appear dull, are nevertheless very firm, the daily fluctuation rarely exceeding / per cent.

On the previous day he had had some wine and brandy eent home, and on looking he found two bottles of sherry and one of brandy were gone. He sent for a constable, who found in the prisoner's pocket part of a bottle which had evidently contained brandy or wine. The prisoner was in such a beastly state of intoxication that she could not walk, so that she was compelled to be taken away in a cab. lie had lost several things while the prisoner had been with him, but all he wanted was to get rid of the woman, as she was a nuisance. Police-constable Horne said the prisoner told him she had taken a little of her master's wine to drink. Prisoner said when the wine came home she put it on a dresser, a,nd broke some of the bottles by accident. Mr. 13mgbam asked bow she accounted for being found on the floor drunk?

The plaintiff was an officer of one of the city parishes comprised in the above union, and bad in his official capacity declined to pay up certain calls made by the guardians towards liquidating overdue trades men's hills, to the extent of 23,000/., and also for the payment of 4,2001. overdrawn on the treasuries. The plaintiff refused payment principally on the ground that the arrears had arisen through the frauds and defal cations cf Maurice, collector for nine of the parishes in the union, and also to Paul's clerk to the board of direc tors, 18.56. It was contended by the plaintiff that Maurice was not the collector for the parii-h in question, and, consequently, that the parish ought not to be called upon to pay any portion of the defalcations of the collec tors of other parishes. The Court held that these cffi core were the officers of the union generally, and as such the parishes forming the union were bound to make up any deficiencies that might arise. Judgment for the defendants. THE POPLAR BOARD OF HEALTH V. KNIGHT AND ANOTHER In this case the respondents had cut away certain portions of the marsh wall and built houses thereon, which the appellants had demolished and claimed two sums of 5/. 61 and 211. 14 , . 2d., expenses incnrrel in so doing. The question was whether the wall in question was to be considered as a sewer under the act. The court held that as the wall answered the purpose of preventing the Thames from overflowing the Isle of Doge, it was to be taken as answering the purpose of draining the Isle of D , gs on the surface as much as the sewers underneath at low water, and that, conse quently, it was to be considered as a sewer for the pur pose of the Local Act, and the Board of Health had full power to deal with it as if it were a sewer, and they were justified in doing what they did. The Court gave judg ment for the appellants, directing the respondents to pay the sums claimed and certain costs. Mr. Justice Crompton was not satisfied that the wall was!to be considered as a sewer under this act. Judgment for the appellants. BRITISH EMPIRE SHIPPING OOMPANY V. JONES- JUDGMENT, This was a special case for tLe judgment of the Court. The defendant had repaired the plaintiffs' ship, and de tained her in his dock as a lien for the repairs, charging at the rate of 1/. a day compensation for the use of his dock. The question was the defendant's right to detain the ship against the plaintiffs' will and charge them for the use of the dock. The Court said there was no Custom or usage for such a course of proceeding, and the dttendant had failed to make oat his claim at common law. Judgment fox the plaintiff. COURT OF EXCEIEQUER. :Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Baron Bran well, and Mr. Baron Watson ) THE ATTORNEY-GENEHIL V. SHIELD -INCJHE-TAX RETURNS. This was an information filial by the Attorney-Gen eral again 4 the defendant, a widow lady, to recover penalties for non-deductions from her annuity of 1001. per annum for income-tax, under the statute. The trial took place at the last after-term sittings, before Mr. Baron Martin, at Westminster, when it was show❑ that the defendant was entitled, on the death of her husband, to an annuity of 1001. a year, free of all deductions. Under the advica of her attorney, when the income tax was charged on incomes of 1001. a year, she refused to allow the deductions to the tenants of the property from which her income was derived, and in one instance the attorney di,trained on the tenants for the deduction. The defendant pleaded that, under her marriage settle ►nent, she was not liable to the tax ; but the jury found a verdict for the Crown in two penalties of 50/. each, and leave was given the defendant to move to enter the verdict for her, if the Court should 13,, of opinion that the income was not chargeable under the terms of the marriage settlement. After healing the learned counsel on both sides, The Court gralited the application. Rule nisi granted. SECONDARIES' COURT, (Before Mr. Secondary Potter.) IMPORTANT TO PERSONS BECOMING AGENTS.- THORLEY V. BIJRGE. This was an action to recover the such of V. 15s, for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Charnock was for the plaintiff, and stated that the plaintiff was a manufacturer of some improved cattle food, and that the defendant, who - carried on business at Taunton, in Somerset, had applied for and been supplied with goods to the full amount ; and on being waited on by the plaintiff's traveller, defendant admitted that he had sold a portion, and promised to remit the money, which, however, he had not done. Plaintiff 'a traveller was called, and gave evidence to that effect ; but on the part of the defendant, it was urged that he had only been acting as plaintiff's agent, and that the goods had been sent to him in that capacity, and not as a customer. Mr. Ray tupnd, for the defendant, put in several letters, with a view of showing that defendant, on seeing some advertisement in the papers that the plaintiff was de sirous of appointing agents, wrote and offered his ser vices, and on the next day he received an answer accept ing of them, and subsequently samples, testimonials, and show cards, were sent to him, and of erwards goods in bulk to the amount charged. An invoice was made out to the defendant, but he considered it merely formal after the letters which had passed. Defendant was called in support of this, and denied that be over promised to send the money, but be had written to say he was willing to pay for what he had sold, less commission, although he hau not received the money from his customers, and whom he coal I trust, and offered to return the remainder of the stock if the plaintiff was dissatisfied with his agency ; but no arrangement had been made, and since then be bad sold about two-thirds of the stock, which he was prepared to pay, but objected to meet the demand as a sa le, and incur all the costs of the action. -- The leamed Secondary left it to the jury to say whether it was a sale to defendant as a customer, or sent to him as an agent, who was to account for sales on ly . If they were of the latter opinion, defendant would not be liable in this action. The jury gave a verdict for defendant. Yesterday information was EXTENSI VE ROBBERIES given of some extensive robberies which have been car ried nut in the most systematic manner. The first was at the ei Mrs. Minton, Norfolk-villas, Notting-hill, fromrewhdiecnhee was °f stolen a quantity of silver table and dessert spoons, forks, knives, and other property.

A third was committed at the house of Mr. Bradley, at Bath, consisting of the family plate, a mass i ve silv er snuff-box, and o f copper m oney. A fourth occurred at No 2, a 2, ql t e l a n n t o tt n Y bury , - , park N or th , Islington, o f the family plate, engraved S. 8 . 11 - 13 ." and "A. B. T." A handsome reward is offered in each case for the appre hension of the offenders. A. DREDGER PROSECUTED BY THE ALMIRALTY.—A. ma n, named Henry Gardner, was yesterday brought be police co urt, charge d w i t h h aving, on f t o h r e e 2tdheoLf April,iveriol io found an anchor opposite the Potteries. It appeared that after landing it on the beadi be pro ceeded to the Inspector cf Admiralty Droits, and re ported what he had found and where be had placed it. An officer was sent down to look after it ; and on the .sth April be went down as usual to see that the anchor was safe, w h e n he found it go ne . I nqu i r ies were insti tuted, and it was then ascertained that the prisoner had been to the Mersey Iron Works and sold the anchor for 2/. 15s When taken into custode, Gardener said that he had reported the case to the Droits authorities, but, as they had taken no notice of it, he thought himself justified in claiming the anchor and in selling it, as he was entitled to salvage. The magistrate ordered the pri soner to pay 1 01 ., in conformity with the 478th artic l e of ' Shipping Act, or t w o months' imprleon. I the Merchants' mut, THAMES. A. VERY COOL PRociEDiNG.--:William Fry, a tall, dirty-looking fellow, aged 28, was brought b(fcre Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a pair of wooden steps, he property of Mr. James George Poole, pawnbroker, 184, High-street, Shadwell. Mr. Poole said he suddenly missed a pair of I,fty , teps from his shop. He ran into the street and saw the prisoner with them on his shoulders. The prisoner was staggering under the weight of them. He told him to put them down, which he did, and then laid hold of witness by the loins and tried to throw him on the ground. He struggled with the prisoner, and a police wan came up and secured him. He WAS severely injured by the prisoner, who gave utterance to the most foul abuse. A policeman here produced the steps. Mr. Yardley thought the constable ought not to have burthened himself with them, but left them in the pawn broker's shop, where they were no doubt wanting to enable the assistants to reach the upper shelves. He supposed the steps were fur that purpose, Mr. Poole—Yes, sir. I bad used the steps only a minute before they were stolen. The prisoner, here said, "I did not steal the steps at all." Mr. Yardley—What explanation have you to offer to this ? The prisoner—A man came up to me ald said, " Will you earn a shilling ?" "To be sure I will said I "Then go and fetch those steps out of the pawnbroker's shoo," said he, and I did so—that's all. Mr Yardley—The most cool proceeding Lever heard of. You are remanded. Some inquiries must be made about you. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER. May 25.—The market has been quiet, but the inactivity is not greater than might be expected in a holiday week. Prices are slightly affected by the easier state of the Liverpool .cotton market, and an impression, right or wrong, that the raw material will be still cheaper induces the buyer to press for lower terms in goods. So far an long cloths, T cloths, and most fabrics, except India shirtings, are concerned, sellers exhibit much firmness. For India shirt ings the decline announced by last advices has had some effect on sellers and we may quote them ltd. to 3d. per piece under the value of 10 days ago. A little more buSiness has ben doing in light printers for the L9vant, but other kinds of these fabrics are still dull of sale. In yams the demand is quite as languid as for cloths. The principal business has been in low numbers of mule and water for the Mediterranean, and in water twist for China, at steady rates. The home trade has been quiet, and the offers for India have been few, and generally too low for spinners to accept. Where any pressure to sell has been felt prices have given way id. to 4d. per lb. ; but generally this has not been the case, many orders having still to run, which will keep mills going for some time forward. Messrs. Slagg and Co. report : —" There is little or no change in the market to day. If anything the demand for goods of all kinds, owing to the holidays, and the downward tendency of the cotton-market is on a still more limited scale than even during the last fortnight, but with the exception of India shirtings, which ' have slightly declined in value, the prices of last week are firmly maintained." LEEDS, May 25.—Being Whitsuntide holidays there has been a thin attendance both of manufac turers and merchants in the cloth-halls this morn ing. The tone of the market was firm and cheer ful, but only a very small amount of cloth changed hands. HUDDERSFIELD, May 25.—The market has been of much the same character on this diy se'nnight. A few choice lots of goods hive been so'd, but there has been little done in the market generally, the purchase of goods for the fall trade not having commenced. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY, Tuesday, May 25.—Admissions on payment, 11,367 ; ditto by season tickets, 622 ; visitors, 11,989. A despatch from Milan of the 20th states that Man zsni, the poet, is dangerously ill. He has been bled seven times. The Eineu, with the outward Australian mail of the 12th ult., arrived at Aden two days before her time. It probable that she will make the quickest passage to Australia on record. THE MEDITERRANEAN.—The easterly 'wind which set in at an early hour this morning has enabled the nume rous windbound vessels in the bay t' set sail for the westward. A large number from the Algesiras roadsted, and from behind the rock likewise, took advantage of this opportunity.—G ibraltar Chronicle, May 17. At the Russian chapel at Paris the marriage of Prince Orloff and of the Princess Troubetskoi was celebrated the day before yesterday. Count de Kisseleff gave away the bride in the name of the Emperor Alexander. Prince Orloff, who was plenipotentiary of Russia in the first Conference of Paris, was present at the marriage of his son. The latter distinguished himself at Silietria, et the siege of which be received several wounds. INTENDED RESIGNATION OF THE BISHOP OF ROCHES TER.—It was stated in Rochester, on Saturday, that the Lord Bishop of the diecese bad announced his intention of resigning the see, provided such a course met with the approval of the Governor-nt. Dr. lEurray, Bishop of Rochester, is the oldest bishop of the English episcopal church, having been censecratsd in the year 1813, and translated to the see of Rochester in 1827. The episco pal revenue of Rschester is 5,0001. per annum, and, should the rumoured resignation be carried into effect, Lord Derby will have placed at his disposal the first vacant bishopric.—South Eastern Gazette of yesterday. REMOVAL OF IRISH PAUPERS.—At the Liverpool Select Vestry yesterday (Tuesday) a conversation took place relative to the proposed re-enactment of the Ili-h Pauper Removal Bill, one clause of which requires that a pauper shall only be removed by a warrant granted by a magistrate in petty sessions, and that he shall be " delivered" by a person who must accompany him from the place of his removal. As upwards of 2,000 paupers are annually removed from Liverpool, this clause will cause an immen-e expenditure of the parish funds. It was resolved to send a deputation to London to co-ope rate with other parishes in opposing the bill. FIRE IN GEORGE-STREET, BLACKFRIARS-ROAD.—Yes terday morning at half past six, a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Jackson and Co., hatters, No. 28, George-street, Blaokfriars-road. The inmates, smelling the smoke, jumped out of bed, and made for the stairs, but a large body of flames could be seen rolling upward., indicating that all egress by the usual means was cut off. They, therefore, ran to the fr.est windows, and screamed pitiably for help. The neighbours procured ladders, and rescued Mr. Jacksoir, Mrs. Jackson, and six children. Had it not have been for the perseverance of the neighbours the whole eight persons must have been suffocated, Engines and a powerful body of fire men were shortly on the spot, and with a good supply of water the fire was subdued, but not until consider able damage was done to the workshops and stock. The cause is unknown. Contents insured in the Unity. BURNING OF TIM SHIP MAJESTIC—Mr. Wolfenden, of the late firm of Stansfield and Wolfenden, engravers to calico printers, Manchester, and his family, were pas sengers on board the ship Majestic, from Liverpool to Prince Edward's Island. The ship left Liverpool on the Bth April. On the 27th of that month it was discovered that the ship was on fire, some oakum in the hold having been ignited. Mr. Wolfenden, in relating the progress of the fire, states that, in order to have clear room for the crew to arrest the lames, the passengers went into the boats, and were towed by the ship till about mid night. As the fire did not increase they were all taken on board again, in order that more sail might be made, and to avoid the hardship of exposure as long as possible. The crew and passengers were divided into gangs, in order to have some one constantly at work drawing up water, while others dashed it down the sky light. With the exception of Clegg ann Curran, the two chief officers, who were a' most helplessly intoxicated all the time, the crew worked well to save the ship. The female passengers generally bore up with remarkable fortitude. A young lady, Miss Warburton, a native of the island, daughter of the Colonial Secretary, and a Mrs. Tont, of the steerage passengers, set an admirables example, doing all in their power to add a little to the comfort of the men by sup plying them with hot tea, food, and moderate allowances lof grog, and cheering them with kind words as they came into the forecastle, wet, cold, exhausted, and frequently dispirited. On the Thursday, when the crew were exhausted, when provisions were low, and the destruction of the ship seemed inevit able, a steamer hove in sight, bore down in answer to the signal of distress, and all hands were taken on board and kindly treated, and the burning ship was left in about lat. 46 N., and long. 50.50 W. The spirits in the hold had taken fire as the captain in the last boat left her. She could nut last many hours longer.— Liverpool Albion, 1001 i .(13`k ELECTRIC, -:TXTAGITIAPEIT.Y• TRAFFORD HA N DIP AP: Argosy Trabuco Childrey Sol Ell ran LATEST BETTING.

The Epsom settling was most sal ilfactory closed to-day. The remarks which we made on the preli minary proceedings on Monday were fully justified by the promptitude with which all persons put in an appearance at the corner. No grumbling was heard, and, indeed, certain persons who were in default last year will, it is expected, be enabled by the result of the recent Der,by and Oaks to meet the claims of their creditors. 'lt is anticipated that a Mr. K-, au Irish gentleman, will be among , t the first to make arrangements fur the settlement of his dd accounts. Until late in the evening very little betting took place on coming events. Speculation on the Darby of 1859 was pursued with much briskness., Merry man was supported- atlB to-ii----and Rainbow was in much force at 25 to 1. Actaeon was advanced from 40 to 1 to 35 to 1, and 2,000 to 60, and'subse quently 40 ." ponies" were booked about Vault, a stable companion of Merryman. 1,000 to 40 was laid twice against The Lark, and Brother to Sydney was booked at 1,000 to 30 and 1,000 to 40 ; some investments were made on Viking at 33. and 40 to 1.

Galignani's Messenger has a full . account of the running of the French " Darby" at Chantilly on Sunday. The stands were thronged, chiefly by ladies. The reserved space,in front of them was crowded ; there was an extraordinarily numerous assemblage of rdembers of the Jockey Club and of sporting men—probably the largest ever seen on any similar occasion ; even the tops of the stands were occupied to inconvenience, while outside the ropes a great crowd of the humbler class of Parisians, of the people of Chantilly, and of the peasantry of the adjacent villages were collected. Many ladies of high rank graced the stands wit h theirpreseuce, audatnong them was the Countess de Morny. The Count de Morny was also present, as was likewise the Pre fect of the Oise, the latter in grand uniform. This year there was no regular favourite for the Derby, some sporting men thinking that Gouvieux had the best chance, others pronouncing for Brocoli, others for Tonnnerre des Irides, others for Martel en Tete,' or Cagliostro, while others placed faith in Count de Lagrange's lot. It is one of the latter, Ventre- Saint Gris by name, colt .by Gladiator and Belle de Nuit, who has had the glory of being the winner. The horse occupied no very distinguished place in the betting. In truth he was, so to speak, totally unknown, foy ho never before, ran any 'rade. It was besides reported that he was not, in good conditioß, or had broken down. It was, lalwever, no secret that his owner and some other gentleman thought well of him, and that some knowing people "guessed" that he was destined to astonish the betting fraternity. When he was saddled the greatest curiosity was manifested to see him, and he was pronounced a fine animal, int without some resemblance to the famous Mo pat quo. At the_ momenta starting, accordingly, his posi tion in the betting remained unchanged, while that of Gouvieux improved ; in fact, he became first favourite. The field consisted of no fewer than 24 hones, and was, if we mistake not, the largest ever seen in France. To start this large number of horses was extremely difficult, not fewer than 10 unsuccessful attempts having be made ; and the 11th, which succeeded, was by no means a good one. The race was rim at a very good pace in deed, and Ventre Saint Gris won easily. Not only was no one of the horses who stood first in the betting the winner, but no one had even the honour of being " placed." The precise amount in stakes, entries, and forfeits which Count de Lagrange receives by the success of his horse is, after deducting the entry paid on it and the 2,000 f. which go to tl:e second horse, 63,200 f. In addition he wins largely by bets. Several gen tlemen who backed other horses, especially those who "fancied" Tonnerre des Lades and Gouvieux, haVe suffered severely. The triumph of Ventre Saint Gris was hailed with acclamations, and Count de Lagrange was warmly congratulated.

After the lew strides, Onbli proceeded so cut out the work, Martel en Tate taking the second place, Etoile drt Nord and Inkermann heading the tuck. At the first turning Martel en Tate took up the running, but fell off at the stables, when it was taken up by Etoile du N.,rd. At the hill Etoile du Nord gave way, and then Ventre St. Gris strode up from the ruck, and proceeded to cut out the work at a gallant pace. Furens and La Maladetta ran through their horses in the straight, and took the se• cold and third places. Ventre Saint Gris made run ning to the end, winning easily by tiv'o lengths. A length between the second and thir des l. Tonnerre ludes, who was lying about seventh during t he g reater part of the race, came in fourth, but wa J net placed; Gouvieux was seventh ; the rest nowhere. Racing Fixtures for 1858. JUNE.

While Tridia is in the thrccs cf an ..Imost mortal conViilsion' the physicians can dO nothing but quarrel as to the right ot each to the part they ara to take in , the administration of the remedies. Our difficulties arise out of our bunnies. There happen to b 3 two routes, each: offering obvious advantages; but in one case there is an apparent deerniinatiOn not merely to contest each move• merit of the other, but to foregd its -own chances of success rather than that Loh should be carried out. _Renee the public ara distracted, and led to Gbeolvieevr e eenenit are e i h alike i t i o j rnbisilcd eimpra: i t t ic i ;.bt!eh,atwhich and the officials hold precious ab3ve all things —a good pre text for doing nothing. The Persian b ing capableG e ulf line has the recommemlatiens of cheapness, of of speedy coes!ruction, and of offering us means of information from intermediate regions, whence, judging from the pr , sent policy of Russia, means are likely henceforth to b 3 mot important. While it is alleged to be liable to interruption from wilful or accidental damage, it is at the same time most open to immediate repair, and enjoys also the advantage that, as these risks are only in the land part, each break that might happen would cause 'merely a slight delay instead of a tA•I susp . nsion of nests, sine.) she defective spaces could be travel vd by. horsemen or ordinary runners. Our past in this route would consi s t o f a simple cable through the shallow waters of th e Persian Gulf ; the capital has *bnn subscribed for two years past, and nothing is wanting but the decision of the Government and the India Rouse. The Red Sea line, on the other hand, has the recommendation of being almost wholly oceanic, and, consequently, perhaps less liable to casual in terruptions; but it would iuvolvegreateroutlay anti time, and any break that might occur would for the moment be much more serious in its conse quences. It has not a subscribed capital, and has had the drawbacks of having originally based its claims to support partly upon statements from ob joctionaßa authority, and of subsequently com mittiug the mistake of enrolling an influential name among its directors without having first obtained the requisite sanction. Stilt the üblic have been disposed to regard both with favour, and at any time during the past year the most popular act the Government could have perf,rmed would have been to order the two to be simul aneously carried out. The total expense wou'd have been about equal to the sum raid dur ing one month of last autumn for the hire of trans ports to repair the dsa , ters consequent upon the existiug tardy method s o f commun i cation. But upon every attempt to bring public opinion to bear, so as to enforce a vig Tons recognition of this ne cos,ity, the partisans of the Iced Sea route have in stantly come forth to denounce that by the Persian Gulf. This, of course, provokes a rejoinder, which is usually quite as damaging to the other side. Each writ r demonstrates the " wildness" of the other's views, appeals - to personal experience, and arrays authority against authority. At last the whole affair bar assumed all the incoherent bitter ness of a &retain 1 controversy, in which the grand pleasure is not to prove yourself in the right, but romebody .else in the wrong. The Government should cut it short by deciding upon their own course. It is-strongly reported that they intend to do so, and iu that case they will deservedly gain a large uniqunt of favour, which their predecessors had the opportunity of seeming and were infatu ated enough to disregard. According to some statements Choy have resolved that the Persian Gulf cable shall at all events be laid forthwith, and the energy with which certain continental influ ences have long been exercised to prevent the ac complishment of that project, while there has been nothing like the same effort to obstruct the plan by the Red Sea, should of itself be a sufficient hint of the value supposed to attach to it. . It must b 3 repeated, however, that both should be at once set afoot. The Red Sea projectors have lately assumed the ground that such an idea is not to be entertained—that the Government are, for the pre.ent, compelled to make a choice—that this choice must bo in their favour—ant thus that the sister project should be indefinitely net aside. Should the decision turn the other way they would therefore have no cause for complaint in finding themselves out .of the field. But a determination to rely upon a single route, notwithstanding the tone thus adopted, would he greatly condemned by the public. Looking at the consequences to be ap prehended from any sudden stoppage of cornmuni c stion after we had adapted all our habits to the electric sy stern, there would be no reproach too heavy for a Ministry that had neglected to take precautions for an alternative. —'l he Times' City Article.

Good and fine samples sold to a fair extent, at full prices. Otherwise, the demand ruled heavy, at late rates. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. For all kinds we had a slow inquiry, but no change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were held at full quotations. We had slow inquiry for nearly all kinds of barley, on f , rnier terms. Fine malt realised full currencies. Inferior parcels were a dull inquiry. We were liberally supplied with foreign oats, which moved off slowly at Monday's currency. Home-grown qualities were steady. Beaus, peas, and flour, sold at previous rates. ARRIVALS MIS WEEK.
