A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 3s. "It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however,. exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expi ring. Foi intending visitors to. Norway especially, Mr. Spendei a book will be welcome. It has, moteover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. "It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." " Fjord, isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."- , -Globe.. •- " Without being exactly a guide-book', it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man cheater Courier. " From back to hack Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well got up.' " Eastern Morning News. " We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the generel public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. "The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

From the reply of the British Premier to Mr. McCul loch Torrens, in the House of Commons, as to the state of the Alabama claims question, we understand precisely where the hitch is that prevents negotiations. Mr. Gladstone said the case stood just where it did a year and a half ago, at the time the United States declined the offer made by England, and that the next advance for a settlement was due from the American Government. The British Government waits, then, for some action or pro position from the United States for reopening negotia tions. We hope Mr. Frelinghuysen, if he is going to London, will be instructed to make a definite proposition, or if he should not accept the appointment of Minister to England that some other able statesman will be appointed at once with like instructions. The responsibility o keeping open this question is now thrown directly upon our Government by the official declaration of Mr. Glad stone in the House of Commons. We cannot let the blame rest upon us. To do so would show weakness and inde cision. It would be said that we do not know what we want, or that we are captious. In the first place negotiations for the settlement of the question should be conducted in Washington, and whoever may be sent as Minister to London should propose ibis as the first step. Negotiations having failed fn Eng land, let them be tried at Washington. There may be some difficulty in making out a bill of damages in dollars for the actual loss by destruction of American ves sels by the Alabama and the other British built corsairs, though this is but a small portion of the damage really done. But, we suppose, this loss can be pretty accurately ascertained from the claims of shipowners filed in Wash ington. At any rate the amount can be ascertained. , This, then, would be the first bill of items. That should be presented and the amount demanded. But for the other and greater damage, in the destruction of our mari time interests and commerce, a settlement might be reached through negotiations for the transfer of the Bri tish possessions in America to the United States. The damage was national, rather than individual, in this re spect, and such a settlement 'would have &national cha racter. The inevitable destiny of the British American colonies is annexation to the United States. Within a comparatively short time the American Republic must become a continental Power by the absorption of adjacent territories, and if England be wise she will take this oppor tunity to settle all difficulties with us and cement a lasting friendship by giving up her American colonies. As a part of the United States they will become more valuable to her commerce and to the world than they are now or e.Ter could be under colonial rule. Mr. Gladstone and the ;other far-seeing statesmen of England may not be unfavourable to such a proposition, and we advise General Grant to present the question and to ask for a settlement on this broad ground.—New York Herald.

Most people seem to have made up their minds that there are not. They see only one side. They say that committed w e l x ii e c e h ea K ed i , ng in William prues h ia as ? the e p m ol e e d o e n l isef aadTpcoont.stituWtieencaelrt”airnullyert—hibnukttwhahtatheaicstneotf and of free speech. So has King William. i d l e o s t po a t t ism le l as ia t s h e e q Napoleon has suspended the liberty of the press governed without Ministers. King Napoleon has everua l equalled, c d o , m if m William has done the same—indeed, he has treated his Minist ers worse than his do g s. Napo leon has disturbed t he p eace of Euro p e. Bismarck and King William to g ether have disturbed it at least q uite as often. But then, it is said, Bismarck is working for a sable enoug h as a p iece of do g matism, but good end and Nap oleon for a bad one. Well, that is pas how w ill it bear investigation? What has be come of popular liberties under the rule of Prussia,? Is there anything like fair play in the way in which Denmark, Hanover, or Schleswig-Holstei n h a ve been treated? It is said, " Oh, but it is for the good of these small States to be swallowed up." The eel m i g ht as well be told that it is good for it to be skinned —but if we could become acquainted with the eel's opinion upon the subject,'we should probably find that it did not appreciate the beauty of the transaction. For the sake of German Unity " everything must be sacri ficed. The idea naturally dazzles the mind of every German—although it is only very -lately that the people have brought themselves to a pprove of it. At first they considered the ambition of 13ismarck as almost criminal. Now he has shown them that he can make their country the greatest in Europe if they will only follow his advice. Germany, like Aaron's But n b c y e ffe o good rs e daring a lryi t n—g i a t tnhde shouldw ewrath tur nobf upon France Heaven r rod, will swallow up all the rest. Some may say it is sh presuming ht co r thinkshave t an opinion upon the subject. When our nation attempts to decide off-hand on a question in dispute between foreigners, she generally makes a mess of it. So it was with England in our war. So, perhaps it will be with other nations in the present war. Now, who caused the war ? France, everybody shouts. Well, where is your proof of it? A. theory is cosntructed that Prim saw Napoleon, and ar ranged the Hohenzollern difficulty, so that it might afford a pretext for declaring war against Prussia. Very pretty—but is Napoleon a fool? He may be - anything else people choose to call him but he is not an imbecile. And the precious plot attributed to him could only be the fruit of sheer dotage. For it was quite certain that Europe would instantly see through the trick, and that almost every great power would soon be arrayed against France. If France was determined to make war, she need not have gone so far out of her way for a pretext. She could have taken up the disregarded treaty of Prague, and found in that some thing to answer her purpose. Then take the story on the other side—namely, that Bismarck intrigued with Prim in order to compel France to fight, knowing that by that means he could bring over the South German, Confedera tionto his side, and -at once suppress all jealousies of Prussia. Who is to 'decide between these stories,- unless, indeed, it be the Pope ? On the face of matters, the one tale is no more improbable than the other. France, after all, has not so much. to gain sty a War as I • russm. Bismarck 'accomplishes " German Unity" by it, whether he wins - or loses, while France can only gain if she wins. A German correspondent offers to put us right on the whole ques tion. He says I merely wish - to state that Prussia, since Sadowa, has contimially been working for a German unity, which could only be achieved by a war against that despot whose main object has always been to impede, if he possibly could, the attainment of the desired aim." Then what Worms of the statement that France ' alone, and France is re sponsible for the w ar ? Our correspondent is doubtless right. German unity could not have been accomplished, at least so soon, without a war with France. The end may a be worth war; but is it just to saddle Napoleon with the whole responsibility of it ? Can we not give "moral support" to the Germans without falsifying all the facts of contemporary history? It is all very well to renounce Napoleon and all his works—but surely some thing is clue to our own credit as the chroniclers of pass ing events.—. New York Times, AUGUST 10, 1870. ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BOSTON BOSTON, July 27, 1870. 'Another destructive fire occurred in this city this fore noon, this time in the Highland district, on Hun neman-street, between Harrison Avenue and Wash , ington-street. The fire, it appears, caught in Joseph Nickerson and Co.'s ropewalk, on Hunneman-street, and from the inflammable nature of the materials used soon spread the entire length of the walk, which ex tended midway between Harrison avenue and Reed street, and was between five and six hundred feet in length. A considerable amount of hemp and cordage was in this building, which was a total loss, as well as the machinery, the fire spreading so rapidly that it was with great difficulty some of the -operatives (twelve or fifteen in number) could escape with their lives. The fire com municated to adjoining .houses which added to the con flagration and caused the fire to spread to the stone cordage factory of the same firm, situated on the south side of Hunneman-street. In the upper storey of the factory was stored a large amount of Manilla and other hemp and cordage, which took fire and burned with such fury as to defy the efforts of the firemen to put k it out before burning through the roof. It was, however, maste re d a ft er a time without penetrating to the lower storey, where most of the expen sive machinery was, which will only be damaged by water. The damage to the Nickerson Company is 70,000 dollars, and the insurance 32,750 dollars. If it were not for the intervention of this stone factory it is probable the fire would have swept south and west through the wooden house district in that direction. Three blocks of tenement houses of the aggregate value of $lO,OOO were also destroyed. They were occupied by twenty-seven families, all of whom were rendered home less, and many lost their entire household possessions. Two of the tenement blocks were owned by Dennis Mullane, and the other by William Curley. A woman, helplessly sick with consumption, in one of the burning buildings, was rescued by her husband at the imminent peril of his own life. • THE GERMAN-AMERICAN MOVEMENT. The movement among the German-Americans in favour of sharing the efforts of their trans-Atlantic brethren to have the wounded soldiers of Germany and widows and orphans well taken care of, has now extended over the whole of the United States. Large mass meetings have been reported from the States of New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, and Maryland; and the majority of the other States, though we do not remember having seen reports of mass meetings, have probably shown an equal amount of in terest in the cause of their common fatherland. Never before has there been a movement of such extent among our German population. It is very gratifying to learn from all quarters that the leaders in the movement, with great earnestness, insist on the absolute necessity of obey ing in every respect the laws of the United States. From the large cities as centres the movement spreads rapidly to the small towns and villages. Like the German newspapers, the mass of the population appears to be remarkably unanimous • the greater or less success depending chiefly on the circumstance whether a town or a district has men of organsiing skill. The Executive Committee of the City displays remarkable activity. A Committee of correspondence, consisting of Professor Schem, Dr. Hoist. Mr. Otten dorffer' General Sigel, and ex -G overnor S a l omon , h as b een instructed'on the one hand to make a thorough canvass of the State of New York, and to urge the holding of meetings and the establishment of branch Patriotic Aid Societies in every place which has a German population, and, on the other hand, to confer with the societies of other States as to the propriety of placing this whole re markable movement under one central direction, and of making it thus the more influential and effective. The Committee have on that account issueda circular, inviting all the German Patriotic Aid Societies of the country to meet in National Convention at Chicago on the 18th of August. It has been proposed in some quarters to send over a prominent German-American to Germany to look personally after a faithful execution of all the intentions of the American society. General Sigel, who enjoys a €1 22-5-8 Y Alai d Viiiitifek i nc 4 te r lilEtebei l iiPu'l! i tkihßUPlEd.- cept such a position, and he is reported to have expressed a readiness to undertake the mission. The Stoats Zeitung of this City declares in favour of the proposition, but thinks that so important a mission should not be con ferred by one single city, but only by a National Conven tion.—New. York Tribune. SCIEN ITIFIC CHANGES IN THE ART OF WAR. The war of the giants has indeed come; but many of'its blows kill be struck at ranges and from distances no less enormous than the physical power of the antagonists. Although the days of chivalry may not be really and for ever past and gone, the gallant hand-to-hand encounters, the battle-axe ,of Coeur de Lion, the scimetar of Saladin, the lance of Bayard, and the claymore of the time of Bruce and Wallace, are as much out of date as the rude war clubs of the ancient Picts and Britons. The wild Scythian would not have been more misplaced with his skin mantle and bow and arrows in the presence of such armies as the first Napoleon led to the field than " The whiskered Pandours and the fierce hussars " of Europe will become ere long under the modifications of warfare that are now inevitable. Everyone, upon care fully reading the details of Sadowa, where the fearful Prussian Zundnadelgewehr mowed down the almost help less Austrians in swaths of dead and mangled men, felt convinced that a new era in the science and method of destruction had already opened. But in that bloody engagement the finest breechloaders were met by the old Austrian regulation musket and rifle. At Mentana, however. fought soon after, the French and Papal troops killed and wounded eight hundred out of the G-aribaldian force of not much more than three thousand, in a very little while, and the Chassepot loomed up as the rival, some think even the superior, of the Prussian gun. But now these two ter rible weapons are to be opposed to each other, and it is clear as noonday that the old evolutions and operations in the face of an enemy will have to be so greatly modi fied as almost to disappear. At Sadowa the victorious Prussian closed in without much difficulty upon the Aus trian struggling vainly with his ineffective weapon ; but with the fearful French mitrailleuse hurling literally con tinuous jets of bullets, and the field artillery necessarily playing at "long taw" with rifled guns, and pitching shot with perfect precision for two and three miles, while the sharpshooter " spots," not his 'man, but his dozen of men, at nearly one mile distance, we shall have no more Murat or Balaklava charges of cavalry up to the mouths of the batteries, no more Redan and Malakoff escalades. Cavalry, excepting for scouting, foraging and some minor outside operations, will become almost obso lete, and even the bayonet, so long the chief safeguard of the soldier, will cease to be much more than a mere orna mental and sometimes very embarassing appendage. Such is the teaching of the latest and best experience, and such the conviction of the best informed authoritieS. The seven inch steel gun invented by Lynall Thomas is reported by General Lefroy in his " Handbook of Artillery to have thrown a 1751 b. projectile 10,076 yards, the, longest range, it is said, ever known previous to the Whit Worth and our own great American guns, which threw very inuehfarther. It is plain enough, then, that with such fearful enginery at work, the war is to be waged between antagonists like the French and the Prussians chiefly at long distances, and that steam on the railroads and the seas and rivers, the hidden telegraph.and torpedo under ground and under water, and a dozen new appliances of electricity and fulminants will play a part never before assigned to them. We shall no doubt have steel-clad locomotive batteries swiftly approaching and receding in the rear of an attacking force, and nitro-glycerine and steam will both be applied in the construction as well as in the demolition of the numberless fortifications and field-works that will be incessantly thrown up. The occult powers of science will be brought more and more into play for the production of propulsive and explosive agencies ; and if the whispers that pass from lip to, lip in the military laboratory be true, the French are about to be made acquainted with something quite as novel and far more destructive than any fulminating compound, rifled ,cannon or breech-loading, repeating . fire arm yet devised. Chemistry' and civil engineering are likely to go hand in hand in this war with appalling effect. Thus each step onward leads to a fresh range of discovery in war as in ail other exercises of human skill and daring, and, with the view that the latest fulminants and weapons open to us, we think that we can perceive, at no great distance in the vista of coming years, the auspicious day when the very impossibility of war in any other sense than as wholesale, brutal massacre, according to success ful manciuvring for position on one side or the other, will disband the standing armies that tempt ambition, and prepare the way for that " truce of God " that is to give • the nations rest. —New 'York herald: Four hundred men from the Plymouth division of; the Royal Marines have been ordered to Japan. They will sail in the Indian troopship Tamar, which is now at Devonport. LORD TENTERDEN.—A correspondent of the Man chester Guardian, writes :—lt is said that the vacancy recently caused in the Foreign Office by the death of the Hon. Charles Spring Rice is, about to be filled up by the appointment of Lord Tenterden. The office is that of Permanent Assistant Under Secretary, and it is one of the most desirable in the administrative staff. His Lordship has only recently inherited " the title from his uncle, and as he takes with it no great fortune,, he is naturally desirous of remaining in the public service. But his position being, in point of departmental standing, junior to eight or nine other clerks, albof competent ability and character, the • preference shewn him is likely to to give rise to much complaint. As Mr. Abbott he entered the Foreign Office in 1854, and not long ago he discharged the functions of precis writer to Lord Stanley, PRICE 1 d . STAMPED 2d " THE BALANCE OF POWER." The balance of power (or, as the French term it, the equilibrium) is the bugbear of Europe. To maintain this phantom, senseless and cruel wars have been waged, vast standing armies and navies have been maintained in times of profound peace, and the free development of nations has been retarded, and in some cases crushed out. And yet, although all this mass of crime and folly has been in oontinual process of perpetration for three hundred years, the real object of it remains unaccomplished ; the equilibrium has not been preserved, nort have ambitious Powers been checked in the indulgence of their pro clivities. It was the overwhelming power of Spain . in the 16th century which called into being the doctrine of the balance of power. The very existence of France and England was threatened, and hence it was natural that they should seek alliances with such other nations as were able to aid them against the common enemy. It, is curious, now, to look back to that time and note what nations there were in Europe ; and by comparing the condition of that continent then with its present state we shall perceive what wonderful changes have taken place, and how little the balance of power has influenced them. Spain was the predominant power, and Charles the Fifth was sovereign, not only of that country, but of Ger many, - Flanders, a large portion of Italy, North and South America, and the West and East Indies. To oppose him the only powers of any conse quence were England and France ' • for Prussia was not then in exist ence , an d P o l an d was too far off. As for Russia, just recovering from the horrors of Tartar domination, she was not considered anything more than a nation of savages, of no account in the affairs of Europe. But the Turks were the terror of Hungary and Germany, and almost as powerful in the East as Spain was in the West. In those days Austria was a duchy, Hungary an independent kingdom, and Italy was parcelled out into a variety of small States. Contrast all this with the reality of 1870. Both Spain and Turkey, the terror of 1570, have sunk into third rate Powers. Prussia, which had no existence then, is now one of the greatest military empires of the world. So is Russia while Poland, which formerly looked down with disdain on her barborous neighbour, and had subjugated a large portion . of her territory, is now the abject victim of the latter. The Empire of Germany having fallen to pieces through the exhaustion occasioned by the Thirty Years War, has given place to that of Austria and of Prussia, while Italy, the prize for which the rival monarchs of France, Spain, and Germany had during so many ages contended, is now free " from the Alps to the Adriatic," a united and powerful nation. Now the theory of the balancd of power did not prevent the partition of Poland, nor did it hinder Austria from tyrannising over Italy; neither did it refuse its sanction to the " Holy Alliance," nor con demn it for sat ur ati ng It a ly, H ungar y, an d Spain with the blood of patriots. In spite of the " equilibrium " England possessed herself of a vast empire on this Conti nent and in India and Russia has been steadily aggran dising herself in Europe and Asia. It wars as much as all Europe could do to check the progress of France under the First Napoleon, and it is possible that some such difficulty may occur under the Second. The balance of power has been fruitful of trea ties, the greater number of which have been torn up, and more of them will yet have to be. It has involved the great Powers in false promises to maintain the neutrality of the little ones, and these obligations, never faithfully lived up to, will again in all probability be broken during the present war. Belgium and Switzerland are two of these guaranteed States ; but they lie temptingly in the way of the two great belligerents, both of whom are parties to the guaranteeing treaties. How long will they respect these pieces of parchment ? How long was the independence of Cracow respected, when it interfered with the schemes of Austria and Russia? All Europe has been in a transition state since it had a history, and no Pragmatic Sanction, or wars of Spanish or Austrian succession, or Councils of Vienna, or Paris, or London have been able to secure anything like performance to the map of that Continent. Coun tries which once were " geographical expressions " are now living realities, and those which once ruled the .earth have become things of the past. All which proves the futility of these " balance of power " combinations to direct the course of events. If a more signal instancb of the worthlessness of " the balance of power " doctrine be needed, it can be found in the rise of our Republic, which, within less than a century after its birth, has become one of the leading Powers of _the world.—Phila ,..7.-7-2 MARKETS. HULL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY—There was co-day - a very small supply of English wheat, with slow sales at last week's rates. Malting barley was inquired for, but not much offered. Beans and peas are unaltered. Oats have been asked for. NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, TUESDAY. There was nothing doing at this market to-day. Prices the same as last LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, TuEspAr.--(Opening Report). --The attendance on the Corn Exchange is fair, but the market exhibits no feature requiring particular remark. There is literally nothing doing, tied prices are lower for all articles, (Closing Report)--There was only a small attendance of buyers to-day, and transactions in wheat very limited, at irregular prices, but generally at a reduction, since Friday, of 2d. to 3d. per cental. Flour was 6d. per barrel and is. per sack lower.

Several samples of new wheat are on offer ; the prices are irregular. Barley, oats, and beans remain unchanged in value. DONCASTER FAT CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a good show of both beasts and sheep at this market to day. The best beef realised 95., but the middling qualities were bad to sell at Bs. per stone. Good small sheep sold at Bd. per lb. ; but ewes were only a very slow sale at 7d., several lots realising only 61d, fl ILL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—The show of cattle is excessively meagre ; and farmers are not inclined to buy in con sequence of ths long continued drought.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—The supply of cattle at this market to-day was larger than last week, but of sheep and lambs smaller. Foreign cattle were again represented in force, including 150 prime Spanish beasts. There was a slack demand for beef, and a consequent slight decrease in prices. Beef, first-class, 71d. per lb. ; second-class, 71d. to 71d. per lb. There was an improved demand for sheep and lambs. Mutton, 71d. to 81d. per lb. Lambs, 7d. to 9d. per lb.

The de mand has been rather lessnnimated, but without any change in values.-Prime old hay, 120 s. to 1325. 6d. ; inferior ditto, 100 s. to 110 s. ; prime new hay, 105 s. to 1155.; inferior ditto, 90s. to 100 s. ; prime old clover, 1355. to 1455. ; inferior ditto, 110 s. to 1205.; prime new clover, 120 s. to 128 s. ; inferior ditto, 100 s. to 110 s. ; and straw, 248. to 325. per load.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.-Opening re port :-Imports per bill of entry, 27,981 bales. There is a steady demand to-day at this market, both from the trade and for export, with very little American offering. Prices are firm, and the sales point to ten or twelve thousand bales. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.-The improved tone of yesterday was maintained to-day, and large offers have been made yesterday and to-day for both yarns and goods gene rally, at the lowest prices of Friday last ; but producersfor the most part refuse these now, and ask an advance of about id. per lb. on yarns, and 11d. to 3d. on goods. Buyers as yet hesitate to pay an advance, hence the actual • sales in proportion to the offers are very small. Yesterday, at the close, the market was hardly so strong, as buyers saw no cause for the advance in cotton ; -but the cotton market at Liver pool being strong again to-day has caused a renewal of the offers declined by sellers of yesterday, and a larger business than usual of late has resulted. The inquiry to-day, as well as the offers made have 'been of a general character, both in the home trade and shipping. Yarns have been in request, and in cloth the principal offers have been for shirtings suitable for the east. Other fabrics for that market have also participated in the demand. Printers continue rather neglected, and home trade goods are hardly in a better position. Quota tionseighth, 9s. to-day are-first, 12/d. ; second, 121 d. ; third,. 11d. • fourth, TRADE D B E " ; REPORT, TUESDAY.-So far as the home ' 17d. LE ; Lru ilf s th T , trade in woollen cloth, is concerned to-day's h as b een a more c h eer ful market. There is a general- concurrence -in the belief • that an average fall trade will yet be done ; but everything de bends on the chances of the war. There is sufficieht uncertainty • to check large sales; and, indeed, sales of ahy kind. Holders of • tweeds, are pushing them, regardless of much if any profit. Other seasonable fabrics, except fancy coatings, are neglected. The only buyers here from a distance represent Scotland, and they are only making small miscellaneous selections. None of the Bradford shipping houses are doing athing, and the deter mination of manufacturers who have depinded on them is to pull up as soon as possible. There are plenty of small men who would gladly bring their operations to a standstill fora while, but it would be ruinous to do so. The plains and superfine trade is better, as is evident by the larger demand there has been to day for hairlists. Victorias are rather less saleable. Cotton yarns have risen id. a pound throughout this district on account of the Prussian victories. Large orders are not taken at an ad vance of less than'ld. New rap are worse to buy, and old and new better. CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, TUESDAY.-The mal•ket is quiet in tone. A moderate business has been done at yesterday's prices.
