II\IPP3RIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS. —FRIDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at five minutes to four o'clock. CITY OF LONDON PARISHES BILL. The sheriffs of London on behalf of the Coporation pre sented a petition against the City of London Parishes TRAMWAYS BILLS. The second reading of the following bills was postponed until Friday next : Glasgow Street Tramways Bill, Glasgow Tramways Bill, Leeds Street Tramways Bill, Leeds Tramways Bill, Manchester and Salford District T r amways (No. 1) Bill, Manchester and Salford District rai nwaYB (No. 2) Bill, and Manchester Street Tramways The second reading of the Liverpool Street Tramways was postponed until Tuesday next. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY BILL. Mr. GILPIN moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. G. GREGORY thought it was not an unfit oppoitu• nitY of considering the state of the railway company, par ticularly with respect to fares and tolls. He admitted that the railway was well worked, but he thought the °°l3 aPany should not have such enormous powers without the House considering the bill. He should not oppose the second reading, but he hoped that any committee to Which the bill might be referred would have the attention of the department of the Government to which such ques tions belonged. Mr. GILPIN said that the bill contained no allusion to the subject on which the hon. member had been speaking. That was the first time he had heard of any intended or Suggested opposition. During the progress of the bill in another place, no petition had been received complaining of the South Eastern Company's actual charges, nor had the c ulnPany had any complaint made to them. The hon. member went on to chew that the company were required t° r un by law 30 third class trains, whereas, they actually r un 524. He also spoke of the facilities afforded inrespect of workmen's trains. The bill was read a second time. THE BOROUGH OF SLIGO. --- Colonel FRENCH presented a petition against the pro- Posed disfranchisement of the borough of Sligo. FEES IN THE LAW COURTS. Mr. WHITWELL asked the Secretary to the Treasury 'whether the attention of the Treasury had been drawn to t he fact that the fees received in the superior courts of c ommon law equal the expenditure less an amount of only about 6 per cen t. i n the two years ending March 1869 and 870, While in the Court of Probate the expenditure ex ceeded the fees in 1869 by 276,373, or more than one third, and in 1870 by 255,008, or nearly one-third of the w holeexpenditure; and i, the Government had any in tention of causing the scale of fees to be so altered as to niake the probable amount of fees equal to the expen diture. Mr. STANSFELD said the hon. gentleman took too favourable a view of the fees received in the courts of e cintnon law, as the salaries of the judges were not included in them. The reason that the fees of the Probate Court appeared so low was in consequence of the large compensation that had to be paid to proctors and others, and it was thought it would not be well now to increase those fees. INCOME-TAX (INDIA), Sir DAVID WEDDERBURN asked the Under Secretary °I State for India whether it was the case that the Act rai sing the Income-tax from one per cent. to three and °Ile -eighth per cent. received the assent of the Governor- General of India on the sth of April, 1870 ; and, whether th e report was correct that the salaries of public servants In India had been taxed at the rate of 5i per cent. for the month of April last, the additional Income-tax of 21; per cent. being thus doubled for that month. Mr. DUFF GRANT said that no official information had Yet been received on the subject, but he might say that nothing was less likely than that he would do so, ARTILLERY RETIREMENT. Colonel W;;;TPATTE; asked when the committee on 41ti llery retrenchment was likely to report. CaPt. VIVIIN said it was expected that the inquiry ov er which he presided would be brought to a conclusion e zt week, and that the report would be laid on the table 14 *Tilly. , - THE GAMBIA SETTLEMENT. 1' 12 % ROBERT FOWLER asked the Under Secretary of Mate for Foreign Affairs, whether it was true that ne gotiations had taken place with the view of the transfer °f the settlement of the Gambia to the Emperor of the French. , MONSELL said negotiations had been going on be -"ea the Governments of France and England with re- Peet to the determination of the limits of the territory belonging to the countries on the West Coast of Africa and the transfer of the settlement of the Gambia was one of them. The English inhabitants of that settle kent consisted of 39 males and 8 females. (Laughter). BRITISH HONDURAS. 1 11% BARNETT asked the Under Secretary of State for t he Colonies whether the Government had received infor- I llation of an irruption of Indians from Yucatan into the colony of British Honduras, and the seizure of the town of CO rosal : whether there was any reason to think this ir 111Ption has been instigated by the Mexican Governor of e°lll Peachy. nf l ‘ i r• MONSELL said information had been received, not the seizure of the town of Corosal, but the occupation ; t he place by th e Indians. The inhabitants had acted ;`, great gallantry, and drove them out , as ther e was reason t o believe that the Governor a -411 ' iefit C ampeachy was connected with the matter, the )( lean Government would be held responsible for the platter. Troops, however, had been sent from i i ; l ll3 aica, a n d as th e G overnor o f J ama i ca wa s now in f , i _g i and, he would be consulted as to the best steps to be ' - ` 4 .en for the future protection of the place. THE CONTROL DEPARTMENT. COlOllel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for War Itthuether h e would lay upon the ta b le a return i n d eta il o f t e Balr iogs effected by the Control Department since its ablishraent in the War Office. Ca ptain VIVIAN said there would be no objection to lay th e Papers on the table. S T IIE SETTLEMENT OF THE GAMBIA. ti 11.

LATEST PRICES AFT: 1868 must rest the blame if they signified their approval of an Act which did - not fulfil the requirements of the Act of 1867, and he thought Parliament and the country would hold them primarily responsible for the temporary misappropriation of the loan. Mr. WHATMAN seconded the motion. Mr. MONSELL in reply said he differed from the hon. gentleman who had brought forward the motion. He believed that Canada was faithfully discharging its duty and proceeding with the railway in the most satisfactory manner. They were pushing the works forward with the utmost despatch, and he believed the railway would be opened in the year 1872, and that there was no ground to find fault with the Canadian Government. The great point, in the matter was, Did the Canadian Act satisfy the Imperial Act, and after con sulting the best authority he could he had to say that he could discover no divergance between them. Indeed there was no divergence between them ; and the one fulfilled the other in every single requirement. He thought the hon. gentleman had altogether failed to substantiate his motion, and he hoped therefore the House would not give its assent to it. Considering the gallant conduct of Canada, it was unwise, unjust, and far from generous to raise the question. As he had already said, he believed that the Canadian Legislature had faithfully carried out all that was required of them. The motion was withdrawn. LOCAL TAXATION. Mr. CAMPBELL called the attention of the House to the subject of county government, and moved that in the opinion of the House the principle of representation ought to be applied to the Government and financial ad ministration of counties. The hon. member urged the desirableness of forming county financial boards all over the country, and expressed his opinion that the best results would follow such a proceeding. With regard to repre sentation, he said that those who paid the rate should have the power of expending the money which they contributed. In Scotland, he went on to say, a knot of country gentle men had the power, according to the present system of petitioning Parliament in name of the county, whilst their opinions were in direct opposition to those entertained by the county which they professed to represent. The hon. gentleman commented on the vagueness of the functions of a Lord-Lieutenant of a county, and remarked that he was selected not only on account of his character, but his politics, family influence, and property. The powers of nomination possessed by the Lord-Lieutenant in respect to the magistracy was condemned by the hon. member, who remarked that on the point he had indicated a great and radical change was required. Mr. BRUCE alluded to the wide scope of the speech made by the hon. member, and remarked that if the House assented to the motion they must be prepared to give effect to the large scheme of local taxation which the hon. gentleman sketched out in his speech. He called attention to the fact that in the Queen's Speech it was stated that the admission of the representative principle into the local administration in counties was necessary, and the principle was assented to by both sides of the House. The Government could not adopt the motion of the hon. member, and he referred to the committee appointed with reference to County Financial Boards. Sir R. ANSTRUTHER, without saying a word as to the way in which the Commissioners of Supply in Scotland performed their duties, did think that it would be a great advantage to them if the occupiers were on the commission. He agreed with the mover of the resolution that there was a considerable divergence of opinion between the Commissioners of Supply and the representa tives of counties who sat on that side of the House. Mr. NPLAREN supported the motion. Colonel WILSON-PATTEN thought there were more com plaints made in towhs as to expenditure than in the counties. He was not opposed to the representation of the ratepayers, but he should go with the Government believing that the question should be examined in all its bearings. Sir E. COLEBROOKE and Sir W. GALLWEY having ad dressed the House, a division took place and the motion was lost by 61 to 39. THE MINT. Mr. MuNTz drew attention to the statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer with regard to intended operations at the Mint, and would have moved that Go vernment manufactories were injurious to the commercial classes, and a burthen on the tax-payers, and that it would be unseemly that her Majesty's Government should compete with commercial houses for contracts with foreign powers, had not the forms of the House prevented him. The hon. gentleman at great length, but in a very thin House, argued against the principle of Government manufacturing establishments. He protested against the Government, which suffered no loss and paid no rates or income tax, using its funds and plant in competition with private manufacturers. He asked if the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to proceed with the foreign coinage. Mr. WHEELHOUSE supported the views of the member for Birmingham. Mr. M. CHAMBERS contended that in cases of emer gency they had not been able to rely upon private manu facturers of arms, whereas at Enfield an immense num ber of useful arms had been obtained. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the hon. member for Birmingham had spoken on subjects of which his motion did not give any idea. He remarked that it was found that when in 1850 it was contemplated to let the work of the Mint be done by contract that it would be to the disadvantage of the public. It was the practice of mints all over the world to do work for different countries, and he thought it was much better t o take contracts with foreign countries than keep up an expensive establishment, and the employes in idleness. It was much better to keep the workmen employed, and the machinery in gear, than kept absolutely idle in order that the work might go to Birmingham. The real ques tion at issue had nothing whatever to do with Govern ment manufactures. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that the Enfield Factory had de prived Birmingham of considerable employment in the manufacture of arms, and therefore it was only natural that the member for Birmingham should regard with sus picion the operations in respect of the Mint. The subject dropped. REAR-ADMIRAL ASTLEY COOPER KEY. Sir JOHN HAY called attention to the removal of Rear- Admiral Astley Cooper Key from the superintendence of Portsmouth Dockyard. Mr. CHILDERS, in a very lengthy speech, explained the cause of Admiral Key's removal. He mentioned the articles which the officer had rejected, and said the allow ances had been made for the inferior quality of the articles by the contractors. He paid a very high compliment to the ability of that officer, and said that he was remo red to the office of second in command of the Mediterranean fleet because it was deemed to the public advantage. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON and Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE con sidered that no real explanation had been given as to the cause of removal, and he said it was because Admiral Key was too honest. The subject then dropped. THE GAME TAWS. Mr. LOCH called attention to the attempts that had been made during the last and present sessions of Parlia ment by private members and by the Government to amend the laws relating to game. The object of the hon. gentle man's remarks was to show that it was expedient to insti tute an inquiry into the operation and effect of the laws relating to game through a committee of the House, espe cially as regarded Scotland. Mr. MACFIE thought good grounds had been shown for an inquiry. Mr. C. PARKER said his constituents did not wish for the total abolition of the game laws, but simply that some limit should be made with respect to ground game. Viscount ROYSTON defended the game laws, and con tended that a gentleman had a perfect right to do as he liked with his land. Mr. RYL ANDS said it was utterly impossible that the game laws should remain as they now were. Sir L. PAnn and Mr. KINNAIRD having made some ob servations, Mr. BRUCE said there was a strong feeling on the sub ject in Scotland, and it was for that reason that the Go vernment had attempted to deal with such an extremely difficult question. With great care they had framed a bill, which was now upon the table of the House. He denied that the members of the House were ignorant of the facts connected with the preservation of game but how to deal with them. He believed the bill would have a great effect in reducing the quantity of ground game. He guaranteed on the part of Government to give a day as early as possible for the full. consideration of the sub ject. COMMONS INCLOSURE BILL. Mr. KNATCIIBITLL-HUGESSEN, in moving the second reading of this bill, explained the principal objects aimed at by the measure. On the motion of Sir L. PALK, the debate was ad journed. JEWISH UNITED SYNAGOGUE BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported. PROTECTION OF INVENTIONS BILL. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, this bill was read a second time. TELEGRAPH ACTS EXTENSION BILL. The Marquis of HARTINGTON moved the second reading of this bill, which was agreed to. VACCINATION ACT (1867) AMENDMENT BILL. The debate on the second reading of this bill was adjourned until Monday. STOLEN GOODS ADVERTISEMENTS BILL. The Attorney-General obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to advertisements respecting stolen Goods. DIVIDENDS AND STOCK ACT (IRELAND), 1869. Mr. STANSFELD moved for leave to bring in a Bill for extending to Ireland the Dividends and Stock Act, 1869. Leave was given, and the House adjourned at one o'clock. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE. Among the sufferers by the fire at Constanti nople are many Maltese•. The English Consul has afforded assistance to numerous families who were in great distress. More than £16,000 have been subscribed for the relief of the sufferers by the Ex change Establishment and the bankers. In the Italian Parliament the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated, in reply to a question, that the Italian Go vernment would render all possible services to the destitute. He said that 900 dead bodies had been found at Constantinople since the fire. THE FRENCH BUDGET. M. Chessuelong has presented his report on the supplementary subsidies of the French Budget of 1868-9-70, in which he says that with prudent management and perseverance they will soon, if circumstances are favourable, place the budgets in a satisfactory condition. A surplus of eight million francs is E stimated in the Budget of I€7o, which is very encouraging as matters at present stand. The Bourse is firm. THE QUARREL BETWEEN POR- TUGAL AND ITALY. There seems to be no doubt that an actual and open difference has occurred between Portugal and Italy, two nations whose dynasties are connected by marriage, as their peoples are by sympathy. The Marquis Aldoini, the Italian Minister at Lisbon is to be recalled on leave, until the Portuguese Govern ment have given some explanations to the Italian Cabinet. 'I his is not an unreasonable act if report speaks truly, since the new Prime Minister of Portu gal, refused to receive the Marquis on hearing that be did not approve of the pronunciamento which dis lodged the old Ministry. THE FUNERAL OF COUNT BATHYANI. Count Bathyani, the Hungarian, was interred at Pesth, on Thursday. There was an immense crowd at the funeral, and representatives attended from all the prin cipal Hungarian societies, the procession occupying more than an hour in its passage. ANOTHER FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT. A melancholy boat accident is reported from Ryde. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Hunlow, jun., son of Alderman Hunlow, of the town, went out with two friendsin a small sailing boat, which suddenly capsized about a mile from land. All were lost.

Mr. Heygate did not address the electors at the close of the poll, but Mr. Paget did in Leicester Market-place. He confessed his defeat, but could not say by how many votes he had been beaten, owing to the imperfect management of the telegraphs. Athlough defeated now. as was said in another place, it was for this time only. They who laughed might win, and so with the Liberals. It was the last time they would be defeated for South Leicestershire, and the Conserva tives knew it, when the ballot came into operation. THE REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL. A meeting of members of the Bristol Liberal Associa tion was held yesterday, when a vote of condolence with Mr. Robinson on the loss of his seat was passed. Mr. Frederick Terrell, Mr. Robinson's chairman, pro posed that Mr. David Kirkman Dodgson should be asked to come forward as a candidate. The resolution was car. tied unanimously. Mr. Robinson sent to say he would work heartily on behalf of Mr. Hodgson. A meeting of Mr. Odger's friends was held last night, when it was re solved to take him to the poll. Mr. Odger announced by telegraph that he would be in Bristol to-day. It is expected that Mr. Hare will stand as the Conservative candidate. GOLF MATCH. Yesterday a golf match took place at Westward Ho, North Devon, between Tom Morris, the champion, and John Allen of the West of England Golf Club, when Allen beat the champion by one hole. THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT. A crowded and excited meeting was held in Plymouth Mechanics' Institute to-night to consider the Contagious Diseases Act. Mrs. Butler was amongst the speakers.

He will be conveyed to London to-night. POLICE VISITS. The Liverpool magistrates decided yesterday that police officers in plain clothes were fully justified in entering houses where there was a reasonable supicion that beer was being sold without a license. This practice is said to SCULLING AT OXFORD. The final race for the Oxford University Challenge Sculls took place this evening between Mr. A C. Yar borough, Lincoln College, the holder of the sculls, and Mr. Chapple, Brasenose, the survivor of the other competitors. Yarborough, who was the favourite, won easily by thirty five seconds. THE DRUIDS AT SUNDERLAND. The A.M.D. of Druids terminated their sittings at Sun derland yesterday. After a discussion of two days on the proposal to alter the constitutional rules and centralize the Board, it was resolved by 10,637 votes to 8,839 to ad here to the present constitution. Sheffield was elected as the seat of th• Board of Management, and Bolton for A.M.D. next year. Mr. Geo. Wood was elected Grand Master, and Mr. Thomas Cooper Vice Grand Master. THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL. The Nonfonformists of Cambridge held a meeting last night, at which were present the leading members of the various Nonconformist bodies in the town. It was resolved to memorialise the. Vice-President of the Board of Education to withdraw all national sup port from denominational schools, and the meeting ex pressed the view that all new schools should be undenominational, and that if the Bible was used in schools there should be an ample conscience clause. The meeting also formally expressed a hope that all lawful means would be used to defeat the Government measure if denominationalism was not given up, and further stated its regret that a Liberal administration should produce a scheme that gratifies its most resolute opponents and alienates those who have been its firmest supporters a year's delay in legislation, it was urged would be pre ferable to the bill SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-THIS MORNING. THE BRISTOL ELECTION. The Times remarks that those earnest men who in the face of a lax generation have insisted that bribery is a crime and not a mere peccadillo may take heart from the recent records of of Courts of Justice. There has been, it is true, but one instance of a candidate found by the judge to be guilty of personal bribery, and therefore inca pable of being re-elected within seven years ; but a suffi cient number have been unseated for the malpractices or imprudence of their friends to make men careful in choosing their agents and outhorrsing expenditure. As regards ulterior proceedings, no unseated member has been actually prosecuted to conviction, but one of them has had a very narrow escape, and his story may be warn ing to those who are wavering in their resistance to the rapacity of local jobbers. Others who have mixed them selves up with electoral corruption have been less fortu nate, and are now undergoing punishment for their offences without any more pity than is excited by the thought that the most guilty, those at the bottom of all the iniquity for years, has escaped. All these things tend one way, and it is certain that, even independently of any fresh legislation, bribery and corruption have received a con siderable check. The decision of the Court of Common Pleas on Thursday in the case of the Bristol petition deals with a new form of the evil, and shows the law in its prompt application to the last developments of election eering. CHARLES DICKENS. The best and most leraned critique, says the Telegraph, which can be pronounced upon the labour of the brain now reposing is this same instinctive, instant, and real public sorrows, which proclaims his genius without error, as tears testify to eloquence and embraces translate affection. What could anydody say about the character and influence of the writings of Charles Dickens which would equal the first simple words spoken in the home, the street, the railway station, the field, the barrack, the prison, the hospital, the workhouse, the palace, the public library, the school room, as men and women yesterday exchanged phrases of astonisment and lamentation? And the secret of his power is written with his own hand, in the latest lines which he gave us : it was Sympathy. His nature found nothing common or unclean in aught which was good enough for God to have created. He, more than any writer of his time, was " dowered with the hate of hate, the scorn of scorn ;" and in his latest green-clad number—we are forced to say his last—he puts into the mouth of Mr. Crisparkle what may be called the very testament of his experience, as it is the explanation of his renown. Says he, "The wisdom of love is the highest wisdom ever known upon this earth ;" and the last words of the last page read, indeed, strange and solemn now ; they are, " Comes to an end—for the time." COUNTY ELECTIONS. The Standard thinks that the two county elections decided yesterday give a most significant testimony to the growth of Conservative opinion. They alter very little— and, considering the largeness of the majority of which the Government disposes, we may even say un appreciably—the relative strength of parties in the House of Commons ; but they show that the policy of the present Government is becoming more and more distasteful to the constituencies of England. These elec tions will, we trust, stimulate Conservatives everywhere to lose no chance, to omit no exertion. They show that the good cause is gaining strength everywhere. They promise, as the result of the pains and efforts which are demanded, the victory of the principles, to promote the establishment of which those labours are under taken. The position is a most hopeful and encouraging one. We have not gained many seats since the general election, but we have shown that our strength has greatly increased ; and if only Conservatives throughout the United Kingdom work as they have done, we may fairly calculate at the least upon a large Conservative majority for England at the next general election, and hope for a majority in the United Kingdom. But, we repeat, because we feel that we cannot lay too much em phasis upon the warning and the appeal, there must be no slackening of efforts. These victories must encourage to greater exertions. They must not be allowed to generate a false confidence. The Datly News believes there can be no doubt that the electors of the Isle of Wight and of South Leicestershire have justified the fears of their friends and the hopes of their enemies. The tenant-farmers of these two consti tuencies have said ditto to their landlords. The frogs have voted for King Stork. The geese desire to be re presented by the Fox. Recollecting a worthier past we must hope for a better future. Time was when the counties of England were the strongholds of the Liberal party, and concentrated within them selves the political independence of the country. In the election of 1831, nearly all of the 82 county mem bers for England were reformers. Of the present county representatives of England, three-fourths are Tories. The yeoman of the period preceding 1832 was the type of sturdy British independence. The tenant farmer since that date is the chosen exxample of political servi tude and timidity. Full of courage and spirit on any other occasion, and before any other men, he is too often abject and craven in the presence of his landlorb, or, more terrible being still, his landlord's agent, in the canvassing week or on the polling day. The elections for the Isle of Wight and South Leicester shire prove the unabated force of the disease, and the urgent need of the remedy which Lord Hartington's Bill proposes to administer. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The second match of the Royal Thames Yacht Club was sailed on Thursday. It was open to first-class schooners and yawls belonging to members of the Royal London Yacht Club, the prize being a handsome silver salver, value 100 guineas. For the first time during the present season wind and weather proved favourable —a somewhat exceptional feature in Thames matches — and the race was fairly sailed out over the prescribed course from Rosherville round the Mouse light-ship and back. The following half-dozen clippers entered and started:— 1. Egeria, schooner, 142 tons.. Mr. J. Mulholland. 2. Cambria, schooner, 185 tons .... .. Mr. J. Ashbury. 3. Gloriana, scbooner, 125 tons.. .. .. Mr. A. 0. Wilkinson 4. Gwendolin, schooner, 174 tons .. .. Major Ewing. 5, Flying Cloud, schooner, 72 tons .. Count Batthyany. 6. Druid, yawl, 72 tons .. .... Mr. T. Groves, jun. The time allowance was 20 secs. per ton up to 100 tons, and 10 secs. per ton between 100 and 200 tons ; yawls to have one-fifth of their tonnage added. The yachts ultimately rounded the winning post in the following order : H. M. S. Egerlia Cambria 5 3 50 Gloriana 5 15 12 Gwendolin .. 5 15 3 Flying Cloud The Egeria took the prize, having saved her time with 1 min. 40 secs, from the Flying Cloud, to whom she had to allow 16 min. 20 secs. for difference of tonnage.

The supply of foreign wheat was moderate. The trade was steady, and extreme rates were paid. The market was moderately supplied with barley for which the inquiry ruled firm, at fully late rates. Malt was steady, at previous currencies. Oats were in fair supply, and healthy request, at improving prices. Beans and peas were firm, and fully as dear. Flour was steady. COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKETS, FRIDAY.—The demand for tea has been only to a moderate extent to-day, but prices have been maintained. Raw sugar has been rather firmer, with an unproved demand.

LONDON TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—TaIIow is firm, at 455. 9d. and 465. spot, and 465. 3d. to 465. 6d. last three months. MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—This market continues quiet, and without change in any respect. The at tendance on change becomes daily smaller, and the only business doing is of a retail character in execution of small orders daily received from correspondents, which require prompt attention. Owing to the holidays we are, of course, unable to give any detailed report to-day of the market, there being practically none. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—This market opened rather quiet. Sales will probably reach 10,000 bales, at yesterday's rates. Sales for the week, 42,670 bales ; speculation, 3,580; export, 3,140 ; actual export, 4,772. Import, 34,631, of which 12,930 were American. The trade took 35,950 bales. Stock on hand, 603,260 bales, of which 366,400 are American. There were 25,410 bales of American sold.

The closing was rather better, buyers giving 60s. cash, sellers holding out for 60s. Oid. THE TRADE OF SOUTH WALES, FRIDAY.—The operations at the iron works and colleries have been materially interfered with during the past week by the Whitsiintide holidays. A re sumption of work, however, is now gradually taking place. Iron masters are still pressad with orders which they decline to accept, except at full list prices, viz., £7 per ton ; and a further advance is anticipated by those connected with the trade. For rails the demand from foreign countries continues active, Russia, India, and America being the principal purchasers. Pig iron is advancing in price. Dullness characterises the home trade. No material. change has taken place in the steam coal trade ; slackness of de mand affects thelocal ports of shipment ; and the output at several of the principal colleries has been decreased, necessitat ing only partial employment for some of the men. Tin plates remain inactive, and manufacturers still complain of the mire munerative results of production, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER RACES.-FRIDAY, The Trafford Park Stakes of 5 sovs each.
