T HE PALL-MALL GAZETTE: An Evening Newspaper and Review. It is difficult to des -ribe the plan of an enterprise like the PALL-MALL GAZETTE without seeming to boast, or to decry the efforts of others. But we are unwilling to lose the advantage of a few words of cxp'anation, and we therefore trust the candour of the reader for a just interpretation of our meaning. The PALL-MALL GAZ ifITTE will contain all the news proper to an Evening journal But, addressed as it will be to educated men and women, the space of the paper will not be occupied by trifling chronicles, nor by hat excess of words which adds nothing to the interest of newspaper records, while it destroys their significance. Literary considerations alone would determine ns to have our News Reports written in plain English ; but beyond these there is the fact that the lessons to be found in many au accident of human life or social polity are lost in the turgid language inwhich they are commonly narrated. Events made known by the Morning Papers may be dis cussed in the PALL-MALL GAZETTE of the same day, but they will not be reported anew. Trustworthy advises from the Money Market will be included in the News of the Day. The rest of the paper (by far the greater rant) will be made up of original articles, upon the many things which engage the thoeghts, or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure of mankind. Public Affairs, Literature, the Arts, and all the influences which strengthen or dissipate F , ociety, will be dis cussed by men whose independence and authority are equally unquestionable, and who arc accustomed to regard the public exi.ression of opinion as a serious thing. This is the ch'ef aim of the PALL-MALL GAZETT :to bring into daily journalism that full measure of thought and culture which is now found only in Reviews. At the same time, we by no means intend to make the paper pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well s tco pleasant, to be lett out of the design ; which will lose none of the a.ivantages of occasional trifling. If a thing can be raid better in verse than in prose. it will be said in verse. Epigram, but not spite—but-1.-eq.., but not vulgarity—will be readily admitted into its columns ; d an since a joke is of len as illustrati , e as an argument, good jokes will be wel- Mine too It will be understo Al that this advertisement is rather a proclamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But the proclamation is not made before a large number of able writers have accepted the idea, and pledged themselves to the effort. Office of the "Pall-Mall Gazette," if, Salisbury-street.

This Company is formed for the purchase of thirteen valuable estates already in profitable cultivation, situated in the Province of Assam, in British India, and for the purp,se of further developing and extending their operations. The property consists of 12,000 acres of freehold land, held direct from Government, of which 2,182 acres are planted with tea plants of the following ages—namely, 440 acres, 3 years old ; 902 acres, 2 years old; 440 acres, 1 year old ; and 400 acres, just planted. The soil and c imate of this locality are second to none in the province, as the following extract from the manager's report to the directors of the Bishnath Tea Company, a neigh bouring concern, for the season ending 31st December, 1033, and submitted by them to the shareholders, will show: "The out-turn of tea and seed has been unprecedented in Assam. The plantation in its fourth year has given an ave rage of' 390 lbs., and the two year old gardens of 240 lbs. of lea to the acre ; and this has been obtained at no sacrifice to the prospects of future years, but with careful and light plucking, as is evinced by the present healthy appearance of the plants, which, I have often been assure'l, are, in size and, vigour, unsurpassed by any plantation of the age in Assam." 'I he dividends paid by the Assam, the Upper Assam, the Jorehaut, Bishnath, and by several of the other tea com panies in Assam, vary from 20 to 30 percent., andtheir shares are at a premium of 100 to 200 per cent. The factories have the advantage of being traversed by good roads and navigable rivers, and steamers ply between Assam and Calcutta, a ff ording great facilities for the supply of labour and for the other requirements of the estates. Not less than 8,000 acres cin be brought into profitable cultiva tion; and each acre. when in full bearing, is capable of pro ducing at least 400 lbs. of tea. The plantations are calculated to pro Luce, during the first year of the Company's operations (1861-65), returns sufficient to yield 10 per cent. on the paid-up capital; and the vendors guarantee a minimum dividend at the rate of 10 per cent., payable half yearly, upon the paid-up capital for three years, divi dends, t be calculated from the date of the registration of the Com flaiuAmt the expiration of the three years the plants will aumciently advanced 10 give progressively larger divi , until the whole have attained maturity and yield a The p r i ce while s b, n ___ a. instalments, to e ai for the prOperty is Z 163,000, payable will enable th e I .'_.."_ e u r al with interest, at 5 per cent., extend eq:evse terms of six years. they directors consider to be most advantage ous, as, tal is called up s value ot the show the confidence of the vendors in the the easy instalments as to payments y or indirect, returns before the greater part of the cap and t o r ocuar young plants to grow up into full bearing, t i mi n c - h m a o ß n a e r y e will abs o b t u e te paid ly n t e friendsndertakin direct] p roin g;P o rkblatea with the Directors and their strictly confined to Y, and the preliminary expenses will be necessary. allotted either he vendors to allotted to thenZ; p a ulate that 6,000 of th e slimes are ' to be already subscribed r ot the remaining shares have been public. public. or, leaving 6 , 000 shares avallab.e for the PARTICULARS OF THE ESTATES OF THE NOW GONG TEA COMPANDYivt• Reraben ASSAM (Limited).

[The following notes are in continuation of those given a few days ago from the diary of a Scottish gentleman just returned from the Northern States :] MADISON, WISCONSIN, Oct. —.—We went a little out of the direct line (from Chicago to Green Bay) to see Madison, the capital of Wisconsin. It is beautifully situated. To reach it you have to cross a lake by a wooden bridge built on piles, and there are three other lakes round it. Madison was at first called the City of the Four Lakes—a much prettier name than the present one, and a much more sensi ble one too, as there is a Madison in many other States of the Union. There is a College here. The College and the Court-house are built of a handsome white stone. They are pretentious, and in bad taste. There is a characteristic story told of the way in which Madison became the capital of Wisconsin— some 15 years ago, I believe. After Wisconsin had been admitted into the Union as a State, there were great discussions in the local Legislature as to which town should be fixed upon as the capital, each repre sentative being anxious that it should be in his own vicinity. At last the Governor said—" Gentlemen, suppose we fix upon Madison. It is not only a beautiful spot, but there is a great deal ,of unoccu pied land round it which the Supreme Government is ready to sell at a dollar an acre. Let us who are in the secret buy this land and divide it among our selves, and then let us declare Madison the capital of the State." This proposal was carried by accla tion ; and when Madison was declared the capital, the land round it of course rose immensely in value. The Wisconsin Legislature does not appear to have been at any time remarkable for purity. Mr. E.; one of our party, who had been a member of it, told us that soon after he had been elected it was proposed to pay $2,500 to a man who had been em ployed on some business by the Federal Government. Mr. E. objected, because he said that, from the vouchers produced, it did not appear that the man was entitled to more than $l9 ; but the other mem bers of the LegislattittiaiiV" - We had bCtter give it him ; this money does not come out of our pockets, but out of the funds of the Federal Government." So the man got the $2,500. BOSTON, October s.—The first negro regiment was raised in the State of Massachusetts. They were commanded by a Colonel Shaw, a graduate of West Point, and of a good family here. The extreme Abolitionists were very anxious that the black regi mentsshould be commanded by blacks, but Governor Andrew stood firm, and said that the black regi ments required not only white officers, but the very best of these. This regiment was first engaged at Fort Wagner, near Charleston, where the slaughter was fearful, particularly of officers. Colonel Shaw, aniongit others, was killed. When they sent to ask for his body, the Confederate commander replied that he had buried him " with his niggers." They had been thrown all together into a pit. Mr. D. said that the fact of these black and white men fighting alongside one another and being laid in the same grave had been the first step towards breaking down the wall of partition here be tween blacks and whites. Colonel Shaw's parents, when asked what their wishes were, said that, though they longed to look on the body of their son, they would not for the world have him moved from the place where he lay among his troops. Oct. 6.—There has been a great falling off in the trade of New York lately. A return issued the other day shows that the receipts at the Custom house for September last are less by nearly $3,000,000 than in the corresponding month of last year, although the duties are now a good deal higher. From another return it appears that the annual in terest payable in coin of the debt amounts now to $54,600,000. The Government have gold enough in hand to satisfy the claims of creditors for some months ; but the daily receipts at the New York Customs-house, where, I - am told, nine-tenths of the duties are collected, do not now exceed $lOO,OOO. At this rate, when the balance now in hand shall be exhausted, there will be an annual deficiency of more than $18,000,000 in coin to be made good somehow or other. I have never been one of those who thought the war would be stopped for want of money to carry it on ; still, the prospects of the holders of Federal stock do not seem brilliant, un less the Government reform their tariff, and frame one more with a view to revenue and less for the purpose of protection. Several of the Chicago houses failed last week, and more, I should think, must be in trouble, being heavily stocked with goods laid in when prices were high (from the inflation of the currency), which, now that gold has fallen, they can't get rid of unless at an immense sacrifice. However, these Western men had a good time in the early part of the war. When I first came to this country, I was under the impression that the West had suffered severely from this war, both from the loss of Southern markets for its produce and from the heavy tariff. I am told, however, that before the war broke out, the Western men, railroads, and States were heavily in debt. Since the war they have been enabled to pay a large amount of their debt in a depreciated currency, very much at the expense of English and European capitalists, who were large holders of Western bonds. It is said that the gain of the Western people in this way has much more than balanced their loss from other causes. WASHINGTON, October 22.—Mr. S. took me to the White House and presented me to the President. Mr. S. told him that I was from Scotland. Mr. Lincoln said he liked most Scotchmen whom he had come across, and thought that they resembled Americans in several points. I said that there was this point of resemblance between the two countries, that each had a regular and general system of education. I said I had been to his State—lllinois. Then we talked about the cultivation and growth of wheat in Illinois, Minnesota, and other Western States. Mr. S. said, " is a very good friend of ours (I had not said a syllable to him which could have indicated whether I leaned to one side or the other), but we can't agree on the question of the recognition of the Confederates as belligerents." The President said, " I suppose really the strongest argument in favour of this recognition is that, a Lord Russell says, you can't treat 5,000,000 people as robbers and pirates." About this point Mr. S. cut short our conversation, saying that we must be getting on if we mean to see the contraband camp. After crossing the Potomac, we passed through a very extensive series of forts connected by ditches. There is a triple line of these forts. In the "contraband" camp, which we passed through there were some 1,600 people. They were in wooden houses in blocks of four. They were tidily dressed. The men who are able-bodied are sent either to Work on the fortifications or to cultivate the land about Arlington Heights, which used to be the property of General Lee, but which has now been confiscated. The women who have able-bodied husbands or relatives are maintained out of their wages : the others, and the old and infirm people, .are kept at the expense of the Government. We went into their church. There was a coloured man preaching. The audience was small, most of them women. They seemed very attentive. The man was preach ing on preparation for death. The women com plain that they and their children suffer a good deal from sickness. The situation, though the camp stands pretty high, is 'unhealthy in summer, being near the river. There is a fine view from the heights across the Potomac into Maryland. This estate used to be very well wooded, but the greater part of the wood has been cut down to make soldiers' huts, and for firewood. After going through the camp of contrabands we went to Camp Distribu tion, where the convalescent soldiers are collected before they are sent back to the different armies. Many of the recruits are sent here also. A large number of men who have got their discharge are re-enlisting. They delft like returning to ordinary work after the excitement of a soldier's life. October 25.—This morning I made acquaintance with Mr. Fessenden, the Secretary of the Treasury. He is a quiet gentlemanlike man, more reserved in manner than any American I have met with yet— more like an Englishman, in fact. He is much re spected, I am told, even by his political opponents. o After we had talked a little on general topics, he touched on the financial condition of the country. He said that if the public debt were the whole of the burden to be borne he had such confidence in the resources of the country that he thought they could pay.the interest without much difficulty; but that, in addition to this, many of the States and towns had added largely to their debt in order to raise a fund to obtain substitutes, and that the pay ment of the interest of this debt would add largely to the amount of taxation. I said I understood that the city of New York had added $7,000,000 to its debt in this way, that Boston had added between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, and that, if the debt of this kind had increased throughout the country in the same ratio, the burden would be very heavy in deed. He said he thought the Western States and cities had not increased their debt to the same ex tent as the Eastern, it had been easier to get men in the West, and that a good deal of the bounty money had been raised there by voluntary contributions. If the war were to end soon, he thought they should do well enough after they had got over the first collapse, which was inevitable on the return of peace. He thought the war could not last long information reached him from all quarters that the Southern people were getting disheartened. After I saw he had got into a more communicative vein, I asked him a question about a matter which has puzzled me ever since I ,came to this country. I said, " You have now a lOan out for which you are paying 7 3-10ths interest in currency (greenbacks). At the same time, you have 6 per cent. bonds in the market, the interest of which is payable in gold. These bonds may be bought at about 105. At the present price of gold, a man who buys these 6 per cent. bonds at 105 is getting more than 12 per cent. for his money. How is it that, with these bonds in the market at this price, you get people to take your 7 3-10ths per cent. currency loan at par, as I see they are doing ?" lie said a large number of the subscribers to the 7 3-10ths currency loan were farmers, small tradesmen, and mechanics, who took the loan as much with a view of helping the Govern ment to carry on the war as for the sake of the in vestment, that they were a class of people who did not look much to the rate of interest they were get ting, and that brokers and bankers, finding these securities were easily disposed of, took a consider able amount of them for the sake of the small com mission they got from the Government, and this helped to float the loan. I dare say this is the true answer, and that the people who are now subscrib ing to this loan had never thought of investing their savings before, but had put them by, perhaps in a drawer. I think people in England will come round by and-by to the opinion that Mr. Lincoln has been a good deal underrated here. his State papers cer tainly are not brilliant productions, and he probably did - a good deal of mischief at the beginning of the war by interfering with military operations ; but I think he understands the temper of the people he has to govern, and he seems to have plenty of nerve -two great requisites for a man in his position. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 13. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tasmanian, with the above mails, has arrived here. She brings 58 passengers, including Admiral Pinzon and suite, from the Spanish fleet at the Chincha Islands, 51,292,100 in specie, and 3,200 packages of cargo, consisting chiefly of indigo. The Tasmanian left St. Thomas on the 30th ultimo. A new revolutionary movement has broken out at Carthagena, ending favourably for the opposition party. Tranquillity had since been restored. The Republic of Ecuador was quiet. The struggle in Santo Domingo continued, but presented nothing new. It is considered that the Spaniards must aban don operations. Reports from the West Indies represent the crops to be in a favourable condition. The Spanish-Peruvian question remains unaltered. No steps have been taken by the Peruvians. It is said that the South American Congress interposed to present war until they have tried what further negotiations will effect, and thus the matter rests. At Valparaiso exchange on London, 90 days' sight was quoted 44d. to 45d. ; at Lima, 37d. The reports from Jamaica respecting the state of the crops are generally favourable, and most of the estates were preparing for operations. The general health of the island was good, but small-pox con tinued to rage more or less in some of the country parishes. The political news is unimportant. The House of Assembly had adjourned to Jan. 10th. Business had somewhat improved, although stil, limited ; the ruling prices for coffee, ordinary, 475. to 485., and 525. for mountain. Pimento crop over; prices paid, 10s. 6d. to 12s. Rum sales small, at 2s. 6d. for 18-proof in bond ; the great bulk held is duty paid in anticipation of the extra duties. Sugar L ruled at 16s. for dark ; 18s. to 19s. medium ; and 225. to 235. for fair. Tobacco dull ; no sales. In the import market, Irish butter realised 17d. Ex change on London, 90 days, 1 per cent; ; 60 days, 1 per cent. ; and 30 days, 2 per cent. premium \ The Legislative Council of Trinidad met on the 10th ; the business transacted was unimportant. Accounts from the sugar-growing districts are of the most gratifying kind, and the estates preparing for crop operations. The weather was fine. At Barbadoes the weather continued favourable for the planters ; sugar making had partially well. ; the cotton plants were thriving well. Provisions were plentiful, but prices ruled high. Fever and whooping cough prevailed, but not to a great extent. Her Majesty's ship Derwent arriv ed of at Barbadoes on the 20th ; th e haxboharbour'was fa shipping. The House of Assembly met on the 20th, when it was carried that the interest on the deben tures for the proposed loan of 35,0001., to erect new public buildings, should be 5 instead of 6 per cent., and an appropriation of 5 per cent. on customs duties to form a sinking fund to meet the payment of said debentures. Grenada has been visited with heavy showers of rain and winds from various points ; the crops, however, had improved than otherwise ; several of the estates had commenced sugar making, but the general crop is not expected to be entered upon before February or. March. Iler Majesty's screw corvette Pylades left Grenada for Trinidad on the 93/1. ,Advices f;om Porto Rico state that there will be a fair average crop of sugar this season, although severalliantations were suffering from wane of rain. In some districts cane-grinding had commenced. Several cases of yellow fever had occurred amongst the shipping in the harbour of St. Thomas, but the town itself was quite free from the disease. The struggle in St. Domingo continues without any greater result than the raising the price of pro visions in Porto Rico and the adjacent islands. The general opinion is that the Spaniards must abandon field operations, and confine themselves to the oc cupation of one or two seaports. From Guayaquil it is reported that the republic of Ecuador is quiet, and already there is a marked increase in the exports of cotton and other produce. The President had returned from Cuenca, to which province peace is perfectly restore& 4is excel lency intended visiting the northern ports of the re public before returning to the capital. A new revolutionary movement broke out at Carmarthen on the 11th, ending favourably for the opposition party. The President, Nieto, sent in his resignation to the Assembly, and this body elected Dr. Noguera, as his successor ad interim. The elec tions for president in the ensuing term were an nulled, and it is considered doubtful if new elec tions will take place. Order and tranquillity had been restored. The elections for President of the Republic of Salvador and for the Congress had already begun ; the belief is generally entertained that the present Provisional President, Signor Duefias, will be re elected by a large majority. The country's pros perity is progressing favourably. The forthcoming cotton crop is valued at $1,000,000. President Medina is showing great regard to the governments of both Guatemala and Salvador, thus refuting the rumours that had been assiduously spread about his having formed a league with Barrios. The following items of news are from the Panama Star and !Herald :—The House of Representatives began its sessions on the 25th. The President's message is a lengthy document, entering into the relations of Guatemala with foreign countries, and the material and intellectual progress visible within the limits of the republic. The expressions of the President in regard to the Spanish-Peruvian ques tion are wise and guarded, showing sympathy for the sister republic, but at the same time not forget ting the friendship existing between Guatemala and Spain. Principally interesting is the part of the neighbouring empire of Mexico, and the relations of Guatemala and Central America in general with the same. The President acknowledges that he is glad an able and firm Government has been established in Mexico, and that it is necessary for • Central America to come in very close contact with it, but he repudiates the idea of a formal annexation with the abandonment of the republican form of govern ment and of their sovereignty, as neither necessary nor desired by him or his people. VALPARAISO, Dec. I—General business is kept dull at once by the unsettled state of political mat ters on the coast, by the unsatisfactory state of the relations with Spain, and by the influence of the stringent state of the money market in England, as advised by recent mails. Even an unusually large number of foreign car goes during the fortnight has not stirred up business in imports. In some of the principal exports of the country, however, transactions have been on a large scale. In copper nearly 50,000 quintals have been sold ; in nitrate, about 90,000 quintals at rather ad vanced prices ; while in flour some 45,000 quintals have been taken out for the Australian market. In. consequence of these transactions, charters for homeward freight have been maintained, notwith standing the number of vessels to freight, and 3/. 7s. is readily got for ore and nitrate to England. This country is kept waiting in a state of the most unsatisfactory suspense for some action on the part of Peru in the Spanish question. Sympathising with Peru, government some time ago passed a measure declaring coal contraband of war, and now by this time we have the vessels of the Spanish re inforcements in Chili waters, with every probability that they will demand and enforce their rights to have coal at some of our southern ports. The solution of the Spanish-Peruvian question is most anxiously waited for, that it may be known how the country stands—whether we are to have a war, or which will be most humiliating, an unsatis factory peace, into which Peru will be forced. The new customs regulations which came into operation on the 19th Nov. do not give general satisfaction, and the merchants of Valparaiso are preparing a protest against the new import duties. A new Government bill has been approved by the Chambers for raising in this country within two years a loan of three millions of dollars.

After all the fuss being made when last mail left, although the Spanish squadron had lost the admiral's ship by fire, although it was known for certain that if Peru was not for ever after to be laughed at for her idle threats and want of action, now was the time to execute such threats as she had been making for some time past, before the Spanish reinforcements should arrive, yet to this hour nothing has been done, or even attempted to be done. It is now said that the South American Congress have interfered to prevent war till they have tried what they can do by further negotiations, and here the matter rests. By a small steamer, the Hannay, from Valparaiso, chartered by the Peruvian consul here, and sent on direct to Callao with news of the Spanish squadron, we learn that the first of the frigates, the Berenguela, of 30 guns, had arrived at Valparaiso, and that the other ships of the reinforcement squadron were already in Chili waters. The Berenguela sailed from Monte Video on Nov. 6, and made the passage in 28 days, nearly all the way having been udnderbes, fore y e r b i lel d , aIP Captain rais she parted company with other ships a v not allowed Valparaiso she ay to be embarked.

A gold-bearing quartz lead, 22 inches in width, has been discovered by a Company of three men. The gold is plainly visible in streaks, threads, and globules, to the naked eye. The quartz is of the kind known as rose-coloured. The com pany have sunk on the lead to the depth of 20 feet, and found gold from the croppings to the bottom of the shaft. Prosecution of the Bishop cf Moulins. _._ PARIS, Jan. 12. :he Moniteur of this morning contains the fol- Lowing : " Monseigneur de Dreux-Britze, the Bishop of Moulins, has believed himself empowered, on Sun day last, the Bth of January, to read from the pulpit of his cathedral the Encyclical of the Bth December, 1864, even in the portions whose reception and publication have not been authorised. In accord ance with a report laid before the Emperor by the Minister of Justice and Public Worship, Keeper of the Seals, and approved by his Majesty, legal pro ceedings have been commenced before the Council of State against Monseigneur the Bishop of Moulins, for an excess of his functions." The following is the letter of the Bishop of 'Moulins upon the 2111,1 i • -;`• of the Enoyelieal, ad. dressed to the clergy of his diocese : " Moulins, Jan. 8, 1865. "M. le Cure, —At the cathedral this ;norning, afterthe Gospelof the solemn Mass for the Epiphany, I communicated to the faithful the documents which recently emanated from the Apostolic See. It ap peared to me further desirable to precede them by reading the annexed. It will show you how, in the midst of the difficulties with which you are acquainted, I have endeavoured to reconcile my duties towards my flock in the eyes of Peter and as pastor with regard to-yourself. " Lastly, speaking as I have done, not in my name only, but in yours, I have wished to tran quillise your conscience, and permit it to await in peace the instructions I intend to forward to you subsequently. " Receive, M. le Cure, the renewed expression of my sincere attachment. " t PETER, Bishop of Moulins. " N.B.—This letter and the accompanying docu-. ment are not intended to be read from the pulpit." " Allocution pronounced by Monseigneur the Bishop of Moulins after the Gospel of tl - e solemn Mass for the Epiphany, Jan. 8, 1865. " Our Holy Father Pope Pius IX., gloriously reigning, has deigned to address to us a copy of the Encyclical Letter, published by him on the Bth December, 1864, the tenth anniversary of the dog matical definition of the Immaculate Conception of the blessed Virgin ; together with a summary of eighty errors condemned by him in various letters and encyclicals issued since the commencement of his pontificate. " Wherefore, remembering with St. Ambrose, that where Peter is is the church ;' with St. Jerbme, that whoever does not gather with the successor of Peter disperses ;' with St. Augustine, ' that when Rome has spoken the case is decided ; 9 and, above all, with St. Paul, that the justice of the faith contained in the heart suffice not for salva- tion if it be not followed by the confession of the mouth ; and desiring, as is our duty, to give this twofold testimony of our filial adhesion to the vari ous matters defined in the said Encyclical, and of our absolute reprobation of the errors enounced in the summary by which it is accompanied, we have considered it our duty ourselves to read the said letters from the pulpit of our cathedral church in token of our submission to the word which binds and looses, and whose privilege is to be never bound.' In equal obedience to the Holy Father we re- serve to ourselves the subsequent fulfilment of another duty, in showing to you, as time and cir cumstances may afford the opportunity, the danger of the condemned errors, as also in announcing to you the period of the jubilee and the conditions to be fulfilled in order to profit thereby. " This present reading shall also serve as a suffi cient communication of the apostolic documents to our whole diocese, the publicity which the liberty of the laical press has given them, having already brought them to the knowledge of the faithful by other ways than the accustomed channels of the ecclesiastical hierarchy." S TATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Jan. 13.—Our market has again by rs q e ui f e r t oth f o o r p y e a r r a n ti s n o g f . l v n i n t d litt a l n e d bus bu in ye e rs ss has been affected in shipping yarns has been done at about ld. decline from Tuesday's prices, and even at these rates very little business appears to be practicable. The home trade yarn houses are quot ing Tuesday's prices, but they say buyers are very cautious, so that exceedingly little business has been done. The better feeling reported at the close of Tuesday's Market continue to prevail on Wednesday and Thursday, with some little business, prices being well maintained, so that the dulness and depression of to-day have been the cause of much disappoint ment. In the cloth-market to-day there has been a tolerable inquiry, principally for India shirtings, but it appears to have been mostly for the purpose of ascertaining the disposition of sellers as to prices and the amount of stocks, without resulting in much business. There seems to be very little disposition to buy, except for very small quantities. The offers made by buyers have been for the most part ex ceedingly low, and in some cases too low to meet with acceptance. The only transaction we have heard of worthy of mention have been a few opera tions in the better sort of India shirtings. The market closes dull—indeed, with an almost total absence of business. NOTTINGHAM, 13th.—At this Exchange-hall to day there was more steadiness in the cotton trade, and lace yarns were disposed of at fully Tuesday's rates. The demand for hosiery yarns was also rather better, and previous rates were well main tained. The business done in silks was at high prices. There was rather more doing in brown nets, but prices are still unremunerative. amn_Bd_REhalecKmi-eldSiTea I Chemist,ET p rofess ion practitioners, a rt ic ommend coma a ll beverages.
