Ile thought the Liverpool seller of cotton had a very great grievance during the time the rate of discount was at 10 per cent. Many people—himself among the rest—were regularly in the habit of buying bills in Liverpool at the best terms they could get, and handing these bills to the sellers of cotton at 5 per cent., so that if he paid 8i per cent. for them, he pocketed the 3I per cent. difference. That was a grievance the Liver pool merchant had a very good right to complain of. He had been told, on Liverpool authority, that dur ing the exceptional time of the 10 per cent. rate for money, spinners had taken their cash down to Liver pool to pay for their cotton, and that certain brokers had been in the habit of receiving that cash and going into the open market and buying bills at 8 or 9 per cent. and then pocketing the difference. (" Shame.") That was deserving of reprobation. Certainly, if a spinner took his cash to Liverpool be had a right to that, and no 'broker had a right to take his cash and go into the market to buy bills and pocket the difference. This new arrangement would stop all that, because bills would not be a tender for cotton except at the Bank rate of the day. The discussion then dropped, the PRESIDENT ob serving that he would adopt the suggestion of Mr. Dorrington to call a special meeting on an early day. ; 3 _- f'= ~: ~.~~ CONTRACT FOR COALS FOR HONG KONG.

SINGAPORE GAS (LIMITED). The directors in their report referred to the con tinued progress in the lighting of Singapore. The profits for the half-year endi ng J une 3 0 amoun t e d to £BO3, which, together with £173 from the pre ceding year, made the available balance £976, out cf which the directors recommended the declaration of a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, on the preference capital, and a dividend at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum on the original capital, free from income-tax—leaving a balance of £25. Upon working out the coal stock in June a deficiency was discovered, the value of which was charged in the present accounts; other wise the directors would have been prepared to re commend a larger dividend. Mr. E. J. Wells (the I manager) in his report stated that Singapore had been passing through a commercial crisis, which had materially affected the working of the concern. There had been a considerable falling off in the con sumption of gas for the past three, months. The depression of trade and the scarcity of money had caused the consumers to curtail their expenditure. During the past month there had been an improve. ment. The gas wta still being used by the Chinese for illuminations and wyongs. The increase in the number of lights during the half-year was 1,020, the total number of lights on June 30 being 4,432. The receipts for the half-year ending June 30th amounted to £3,966 and the expenditure to £2,990, leaving a profit of £976. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.) STOCKHOLM, Oct. 20. The Prussian annexation proceedings in Germany and the Duchies now attract so much notice that it may not be amiss if the King of Prussia and Count von Bismarck should turn their attention to this united kingdom, where they would see that, after more than 50 years have elapsed since the great Powers of Europe sanctioned the junction of the two States of Sweden and Norway under one sovereign, there has never yet been formed that complete union between them about which every successive King has been increasingly anxious, though it was long before either the Swedes or the Norwegians could be persuaded to take any step that was in the least likely to promote the object of the Court in this matter. It is only now, indeed, that there is at last some prospect of the leading men in both countries being disposed to enter on the consideration of a more intimate union, and this may, perhaps, be traced to the joyful demonstrations that were made in both on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the connec- Box-office open from 10 to 4.

Lion formed between them in 1814, while the objec tion of the Norwegians may likewise have been, to some extent, overcome by the abolition of the former antiquated constitution of Sweden, and the adoption of another, which, though not quite so free as that which they enjoy, nevertheless bears to it some striking features of resemblance. But to whatever causes the change of feeling in this respect may be attributed, there is now good evidence that there is a disposition in both coun tries to have the pact by which they have hitherto been united carefully revised, with a view to such alterations being made in it as may be agreeable to the people of both States ; and as there is reason to believe that the committee appointed for this purpose have, at the meetings held since their appointment, evinc..ld a willingness to hear reason on both sides, this augurs well for the success of their labours, though this may in a great measure be owing to the judicious selection of the members of that committee, Swedes as well Norwegians, who are men of high standing and repute, and who in other matters have afforded Fcap.

At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., mecives no remuneration whatever.

JOHN *SITE, Musufaaturer, 228, TiooadiEM The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the net profits arising to the com pany, under the agreement, were still considerably below the amount requisite to pay the total obliga tions of the company, still the net receipts showed considerable progress, and there appeared to be a balance on the half-year beyond the amount pay able for interest on debentures, which was so far satisfactory. He was afraid the holders of prefer ' ence shares would suffer considerable disappoint ment from not receiving anything for their outlay. They had, however, for the first time, arrived - at a point that any further progress must leave some thing for the preference shares, and afford them some return. In reference to the payment of interest on the several classes of bonds for the past half-year, there was a small surplus which might, if available, be applied towards arrears on the preference shares, but for the year ending the 30th June last it would be found the average profits fell short of the amount required to pay the interest on the bonds ; they were £37,000, while the amount required to pay the in terest of those bonds was about £39,000, so that, taking the year, there was no surplus to deal with, but a small debit to provide for after paying the in terest on the several mortgages an coupon bonds. 'The fixed burdens of the company before anything could go to the ordinary shareholders amounted to £68,400 a year, or £34,200 for the half-year. The first, second, and third bonds would require £40,000 per annum, in addition to which the capitalised cou pons for two years' arrears of interest would require £4,250 per annum. The interest on the first pref erence shares would amount to £10,500, and on the second preference shares to £13,650, making £68,400 per annum in round numbers, but to that sum the interest on the arrears (£80,000) due on preference shares which the directors proposed to capitalise would add £4,200, making the full amount of interest and pre ference charges £72,600 per annum, or £36,300 per half-year, before the ordinary shares could get any thing. The present net income of the company averaged about £50,000 a year, and looking to the progress they had already made, he thought they might look forward to a time when they should be able to meet the whole of those preference charges, and have a surplus. The traffic on the Grand Trunk of Canada had increased year after year, and as the Buffalo Company participated in a certain percent age of the net-receipts of the joint concern, there would be something for the ordinary stock of the company sooner or later. The abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States had dis turbed the course of trade in Canada ; they had been shut out of certain American markets, and they would have to find new outlets for their traffic to compensate them for the loss of the American . mar kets. It was believed that an inte rcolonial traffic would arise, and that the confederation of the British provinces would be accelerated by the cessation of that treaty. Owing to the continuance of wet wea ther in July and during the harvest time in Canada, the crops were in such a c ondition that the railway traffic might suffer to some extent, but it was sup posed that the loss of traffic in some places would be fully compensated by new traffic i iu other places. The long negotiation with the Grand Trunk of Canada Company for the settlement and apportion ment of certain charges was nearly concluded, so that in future the accountants would be enabled to This morning the quarterly meeting of the Man ' &ester Chamber of Commerce took place here, when - an interesting conversation took place relative to a proposed alteration in the terms of payment for cot ' ton, with a view to remedying' certain evils which had crept into the trade as conducted for some time past. Mr. M. Ross, the President, said that an inter view had taken place between sub-committees of the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool, - the East India and China Association of Liverpool, the Cottonspinners' Association at Manchester, and of this Chamber, in reference to an alteration of the terms of payment for cotton. The usual course in buying cotton at Liverpool was for cash in ten days, or a banker's bill at three months. These bankers' bills had been sent to Liverpool when the rates of interest had advanced above 5 per cent., though they were only chargeable by the practice of trade at 5 per cent. During the recent panic parties selling cotton refused to receive these bills except at the current price, and thus in the same market on the same day prices varied as much as id. to id. per lb., those having cash being able to buy so much cheaper. It was felt that some arrangement should be made by which prices would not fluctuate with the rate of discount. A meeting of the representatives of the different bodies he had named accordingly took place on the 18th inst., when the matter was discussed in all its bearings. The Liverpool people wished teem! - vert all payments into cash payments. They said cotton was the only colonial produce, imported that was not paid for in cash, and they wished to place cotton on the same footing as coffee, tea, sugar, and other things. It was,however, represented that that would be a direct interference with the customary mode of dealing in the cotton trade, and, after a long conversation, the following terms were agreed to :—" That a discount of 1 per cent. be deducted for cash, in ten days, buyers having the option of paying in approved bankers' bills not exceeding three months, such bills tobe received at theßank of Eng land rate of the date tender." He had since received communications from the American Chamber of Commerce and the East India and China Associa tion at Liverpool ratifying on their part the agree ment which their representatives had made. (Hear.) Mr. FERGUSSON suggested that the terms of pay ment for yarn in the Manchester market should also be considered. The practice in Manchester had been consequent upon the practice which had ob tained in Liverpool, to accept these bankers' bills taking the rate of interest at i per cent., although it might have been absolutely as high as 10 per cent. If the arrangement described by the President was to be carried out, it was onlyfair the spinner should receive payment on similar terms. (Hear.) Mr. W. TURNER, Mayor of Salford, endorsed the sentiments of Mr. Fergusson. Under the new ar rangement the cotton broker and the manufacturer would be safe,, and nearly all the risk would fall upon the spinner. If they could shorten the pre sent terms of payment, which was cash in a month, to cash in 15 days, it would be some advantage. The PRESIDENT observed that in the home trade those bills were not recognised at all. They were only used in the foreign trade. He thought the moment was not opportune to reduce the present term until it could be ascertained whether the whole trade, including buyers and sellers, would be unani mous in agreeing to the .change. Mr. DORRINGTON (of Fraser and Co., merchants) agreed with Mr. Fergusson that a similar alteration should take place in the yarn trade. He thought they had come to a valuable conclusion between spinners and sellers of cotton in placing cash and bills on a fair relative footing, because it would tend to destroy that spirit of speculation which had been so very injurious to the interests of Manchester. He believed that a great manybills had bee n had not for legitimate purposes, but that d i vltag by made use of their credit to their aht, rutieerseated however, making those payments. it would be premature to discussHetitreagquestion of an alteration in the terms at ha db e en discussed at present existing in the yarn trade, until the m i atte c harnber, at which the a special meeting of the whole body of buyers and se ll er s of yarn could be present. He suggested that a special meeting should be called for that purpose. Mr. cotton spinner, thought the fi rs t step haidi nuoG:l‘bleAes: Ni taken to remedy a grievance w hi c h rested Upon the cotton spinners and sellers of -twist an d cloths. The spinner and manufact urer had been comparatively indifferent about receiving pay ment in cash for bills, because it had been the rule to receive bankers billsin payment for cotton at Liver pool, and therefore the spinner had been enabled to take a bill he had received at Manchester to Liverpool next day and pay for his cotton with it, so that he had not suffered, whatever might be the rate of dis count. But under the new arrangement if he took a bill to Liverpool which he had received in Man chester, at 5 per cent. when the Bank rate was at 10 per cent., he would suffer a loss of 5 per cent No spinner henceforward, however, would be so foolish as to do anything of the kind. He thought spinners would be very much to blame for the griev ance under which their trade suffered in this respect if it were not remedied. They had been divided by petty jealousies, while the Liverpool merchants had , four previous Chambers find themselves excluded from those that have superseded them, for out of the 177 members of the second Chamber already returned, 92 were members of the old Diet, of whom 36 sat for town, and 56 for rural consti tuencies, while the agricultural interest will con tinue to be well represented, as it is estimated that nearly two-thirds of the members of the Lower House will be more or less connected with the country, and not more than one-third with the cities and towns throughout the kingdom ; and as an opinion is very prevalent that agriculture is ono of the main stays of Swedish prosperity, that, it is thought, will be the better promoted the more largely that interest is represented in the national Legislature. It should, however, be remarked that although the country gentlemen and peasants reckon on having a pre.dominating influence in the new Parliament, there are many members whose information on various subjects will be most useful, among whom may be reckoned six clergymen, twelve professors and teachers, one physician, one apothecary, seven soldiers, and five, at least, who have already acquired a name and fame in the walks of literature and science. The season is so far advanced that visitors from more southern climes think it is time to turn their steps homewards. The stay of the Prince and Princess Frederick of the Netherlands,. with the;r daughter the Queen of Sweden, has t h e refore al ready been brought to a close.

For this purpose they are taking means to asce rtain that there is not only sufficiency of but that all are of the most approved and efficient description. The military authorities have also been instructed to take care that there are not only proper weapons, but that no pains are spared to . have them placed in right hands, and that, without imposing any extraordinary hardships on the people, the Bavarung and Landstarm are so well drilled and informed as to their duties that every man should know his post, and the best means to be taken to defend it. One would indeed scarcely sup pose that the present are peaceful times in this coun try, so general is the display of military organisa tion ; but the King and the Government alike act on the sound and well-known principle that there is no way so effectual in preserving peace as in being prepared far war. Now that the great Scandinavian exhibition has been closed;* the universal desire here is that it should be kept in remembrance by some suitable and useful memorial, for which purpose there is a general wish that the fountain of Malin, which was one of its greatest ornaments, should be permanently erected on the site. A subscription has accordingly been set on foot to provide the requisite funds, and it issatis factory to know that it bids fair to realise the amount wanted ; but other means are likewise re sorted to, among which is a monster concert in the exhibition building, at which there is to be a choir of 1,000 voices, includingthe studentsfrom Up sa l a, who have volunteered their services on the occasio n , and, as no pains have been spared to render it suc cessful, little doubt is entertained as to the result.
