Now published, F JORD, ISLE, AND TOR." A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWAILD SPENDER PRIG 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 exp/ ring. Foi intending visitors to Norway especially,. Mr. Spendei s book will be welcome. •It has, moreover, 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." —Sun " Fjord, Jsle, 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 chester Courier. "From back to 'lack '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 general public. . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail.

LOMBARD STREET, LONDON, AND NORTH JOHN STREET, LIVERPOOL, ARCHBISHOP MANNING. An, address has been presented to Dr. Manning on his return from Rome by the whole of the clergy, secular arid regular, of his diocese at Westminster. The address was in the following terms : " We, the undersigned clergy most respectfully tender to your Grace the expression of our hearty congratulations on your return to England after a protracted absence. The regret occasioned us by the loss of your personal presence and counsel, especially during a period . of the most cr iti ca l importance to the religious welfare of the rising Catholic generation, has been in a great measure compensated`by the knowledge that your grace was assisting at the deli berations of a great council, gathered together at the call and under the auspices of the Vicar of Christ, to consult on matters intimately affecting the interests, not of any single nation, but of the Catholic Church throughout the world. We cordially unite with your grace in thanksgiving to Almighty t r od for the favours which he has bestowed on the Church during the last year ; and we dutifully and heartily accept, prospectively as well as retrospectively, the decrees of the (Ecumenical Council as promulgated by the Holy See. We trust more especially that its most recent and most important act, Alle-tidefinition of the infallibility 0f... the Sovereign Pontiff, may powerfully contribute to the peace of the Church, by.precluding internal controversies and uniting the hearts of all Catholics in loyal devotion to the Vicar of Jesus Christ. In conclusion it is our earnest prayer that your Grace may be abundantly blessed in your zealous labours for the glory of God and the extension of His Kingdom upon earth." Dr. Manning has sent a reply in which hesays,—"Your words of congratulation to me complete the assurance of the unity which binds us together, against which, as it is founded upon nothing personal, nothing can prevail. I share, as you all know s in the profound conviction ex pressed by ydu, that the definition of the Infallibility of Sovereign Pontiff gives still greater solidity to the structure of Cathollc faith ; and that the need of that definition cannot be more truly appreciated than by measuring the opposition by which the world has endeavoured to avert it. I am firmly convinced that, after the first excitements of this moment are allayed, both pastors and people will be united more profoundly than ever, not only in faith and charity, but also in the Catholic judgments and principles which flow from this Definition of the supreme authority of the tjhureh."

ALEXANDER (late Brooke), Newspaper Agent, iN o. 4, Old Cavendish street. Oxford-street THE BROOKLYN NAVAL Y iRD. It seems evident that another and more powerful effort will be made at the next session of Congress to remove the Brooklyn Navy Yard to some more eligible site. It seems probable, moreover, that New London, with all its liberal offers to the Government, will not be selected as the site for the new yard. It seems that a close survey of the place shows that the channelway is very narrow at New London and along the greater part of the waterfront further from the shore line than was supposed. Captain Ammen, in his report to Secretary Robson in October, 1868, called attention to this fact, and pointed out th e necessity of having a survey, extending from just above the town to at least one mile above the present proposed site for the yard, so as to be able to select the point na turally the most advantageous and looking to the con struction of an extensive fresh water basin for iron dads. But Ammen himself does not approve of New London as a fit site, and in this view most of the naval authorities concur. Some point on the Hudson, about sixteen or twenty miles from the Battery, is regarded as more suit able in every way, and particularly with a view to defen sive purposes. The protection of the great city of New York, it is argued, should be a main feature in consider ing the question of a site. Captain Ammen says on this point in his report :—" The protection of the city of New York is of paramount importance, and to that end in the future the Navy Yard, as loeated, seems inadequate of suffi cient extension. In the present relation of vessels in de fence as against vessels attacking the city a material ad vantage would be obtained by locating the navy y ar d so that its defence would not be involved in that of the city, but consist of inferior lines. The vessels employed to aid in the actual defence of the city and within the harbour would then be able to proceed to their work without em barrassment or delay, and would operate with entire as surance." Against the Brooklyn navy yard he urges the following reasons :—" The location of the navy yard at Brooklyn, New York, has long been considered unfortu nate. The water front available is quite limited, the Wallabout Channel narrow and subject to extraordinary deposits of dirt and washings in by sewers, so as to render the continual use of dredging machines necessary at a large annual cost, in order to maintain a required depth of water. At this important station in the harbour of the commercial metropolis of the nation there are always numbers of vessels-of-war necessarily crowded together and exposed to imminent danger from fire, the yard being adjacent to buildings of various characters, among the number a large gas house. The fact that a very large tract of land has its natural drainage through the yard, the rights of way for this drainage reserved for the city, and the formation of the surrounding land such as to render it impossible, except at an enormous expense to dis charge the contents of the public gewers outside the limits of the yard, is now a grave injury. Vessels newly coppered lying near the discharge of these sewers require almost entire recoppering in a few months, caused by the action of the acids from manufacturing establishments and other chemical agents.—New York Herald. THE NEW MEMBER FOR DUBLIN.—Sir Dominic John Corrigan, of Cappagh and Inniscorrig, county of Dublin, who was yesterday elected M.P. for the City of Dublin in the Liberal interest, is a physician of great eminence in Dublin. He was born on the Ist of December, 1802, graduated M.D. at the University of Edinburgh in 1825, and at Dublin in 1849, and became a member of the College of Surgeons (England), as far back as 1843. He was appointed one of the members of the Senate of the Queen's University in Ireland at its first establishment in 1847, and was five times in succes sion elected President of the Royal College of Phy sicians in Ireland, an honour never before him bestowed on any of its Fellows. He holds the post of one of her Majesty's Physicians in Ordi nary in Ireland, and is the author of numerous contribu tions to leading medical journals. He was created a baronet in February, 1866, in recognition not only of his very high and distinguished professional position, but also of his great and gratuitous services through many years to the cause of health and education in his native country. Sir Dominic's election is a gain for the Liberal party. 'FREE S [IIPS, FREE GOODS." It is generally supposed that the past history of European countries shews distinct and consistent princi ples with reference to the treatment of neutral property by belligerents, but the truth is that the exigencies of a great war will overthrow almost any provisions in international law : and whatever France or Prussia may have declared in the past, their treatment of neutrals, within certain fixed limits, will vary much, according to their interests. The United States have always been desirous of incorporatinc , into international law the principle, " Free ships, free g oods ; but her Jdourts and her publicists have invariably decided that it is not yet a rule of war. In the middle ages it was not unfrequently the custom to comdemn neutral ships for carrying an enemy's goods, on the broad ground that all neutral trade could be declared unlawful by the belligerents. As commerce increased, however, it began to be considered lawful to carry an enemy's goods, and place neutral goods in an enemy's vessel, subject to a right of search, and to the adjudication by the Courts of such as were proved enemy's property. Still later, in the eighteenth century, free ships often made free goods, and with this principle followed the by no means necessary converse of "hostile ships, hostile goods." After our revolution, this country, with other smaller States, -strove to make the rule recognized of " free ships " free goods," but Great Brtain always thrust every obstacle in the way. Since 1815, the in creasing influence of the commercial interest is leading to the general adoption of this humane provision. Our treaties, moreover, with France, the NetherlandS, and Sweden make goods free in neutral ships, but leave neutral goods in enemy's vessels subject to capture. On the other hand, with Prussia, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and many other countries, we not only h ave stipulated for free ships, free goods, have not decl are d the right to take neutral goods from enemy's vessels. The relation of this country to the Treaty of Paris is well known. Though not a party to it, we made an effort to become so in the beginning of our civil war, and thus to make universal the principle that free ships shall make goods free when not contraband of war. But this attempt failed through Great Britain and France insisting on grafting on the treaty an explanatory clause, which our Government thought would be prejudi cial to their interests as against the rebels. The French declaration of 1851 was an agreement between France and England which became necessary in the opening of the Crimean war, inasmuch as England claimed the right to capture enemy's goods in neutral vessels, and, France to capture neutral goods in enemy's vessels. This treaty declared enemy's goods free us neutral vessels, and• neutral goods in enemy's vessels ; though Great Britain appended a proviso, that her pro per belligerent rights were waived temporarily in this agreement. The principle here declared was reaffirmed in the Treaty of Paris, and has -been adopted by nearly all nations except the United States. What is the dis tinction between France accepting the declaration of 1856 or that of 1854 is not clear. Both recognise distinctly the doctrine of " free ships, free goods," unless the latter be contraband of war. Whether the commerce of the United States shall enjoy the benefits of this enlightened pro vision will depend entirely upon the belligerents, as we • are not a party to the compact. In fact, in a similar treaty with Spain, this Government distinctly excepted such neutrals as do not acknowledge the prin ciple. If the new rule, however, be recognized by France in regard to our shipping, we must remember that ships will none the less be exposed to detention and annoying search. The French cruisers, of course, must ascertain whether the alleged neutral vessel is really one ; and examine letters and papers with reference to this, and also as to the destination of the cargo. Then the question must also be determined how far the cargo is contraband, and whether it may be bound for an enemy's port. All this will often,be vexatious to our merchantmen, and may cause damage to our commerce, but it cannot be avoided until the law of contraband be changed, and neutrals be exempted from annoying search and detention by belli gerents. We can only hope that moderation on the one side, and a proper understanding of the law on the other, will prevent all unpleasant collisions. PAINFUL AFFAIR IN ROME, A frightful occurrence took place last week at the Piazza Biscione. close to the Farnese Palace, Rome. A young man whO arrived some weeks since for enrolment in the Zouaves, a native of Rotterdam, was refused en trance in consequence of his having shewn signs of insanity and was placed under medical care in the lunatic ward of the Lungano Hospital, and was discharged apparently cured and perfectly harmless a few days since, but Colonel Allett re fused to receive him, and the Dutch committee undertook to restore him to his friends—in the mean time he was allowed to live at the Dutch Zouave club. Friday was a very sultry day, with thunder in the air, and it is sur mised brought on a return of madness, as he suddenly seized a gun, incautiously left about by a Zouave coming off duty, and locking himself into a small room, began firing on all the passers by. The Zouaves attempted to break open the door, but only suc ceeded by firing through the lock, and before they could overpower the unfortunate madman, he had killed two Zouaves, a notary, and a poor woman in the street, and severely wounded seven others, and was himself mortally wounded by the military, who rushed to the rescue. Colonel Allett, although in no way called on to do so, has generously offered to subscribe for the families of the victims and addressed an admirable order of the day to his regi ment last night, calling on men and officers to co-operate in relief and aid to sufferers. The cases of cerebral malady this summer have been of terrible frequency, and the air of Rome has a fatal tendency to the development of any latent complaint orthat kind. COMMERCIAL PROGRESS. In all parts of the country out of New England the utmost energy is being employed to extend and improve the means of transportation. No place where anything grows or is consumed, is so distant or so well provided already as not to feel the necessity for new and better outlets to the sea. Towns and cities which a few years ago were unknown to commerce, are now carrying through enterprises of the greatest magni tude for the sole purpose of bringing business and wealth to their doors more rapidly. The new law, which goes into effect on th e I s t o f O c t o b er next, allowing direct im portations to various western cities, and to all places having upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand inhabi tants, will tend to stimulate still farther the disposition to cut away by all possible means the difficulty which vast dis tances and consumption of time throw in the way of travel and trade. Virginia, amcng the rest, has awakened from her long sleep, and is renovating and extending her whole system of internal transportation. Active measures, we are told, are in progress for surveying the route of the Virginia water line across the Alleghanies. The deepening of the channel of the James is at once to follow. The grad ing and tunnelling of the Chesapeake and Ohio road is in energetic progress. The road bed and railing of both the Southside and the Virginia and Tennessee roads are undergoing thorough' repair ; and s)eps are soon to be taken toward opeliing direct rail communication between Richmond and Louisville and the Ohio River. The completion of these improvements will make a new State of Virginia, and go far to restore her traditional power. Not to be outdone and driven from the field of competition by the railway builders, persons interested in riv er nav i ga ti on . are pushing the improve ments in the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi rivers with great energy. The first of a line of iron -steamers, to ply directly been St. Louis and Liverpool, is now being built at Birkenhead —to run in connection with the grain barges of the upper Mississippi. • An iron steamer is being built at Cincinnati for the Red River trade in Louisiana. This is the first iron vessel that has been built exclusively to navigate Western rivers within the last twenty years. In all parts of the West the same spirit is manifested, and puts to shame the comparative indifference of our older States and cities to the expansion of this vast interest.— Boston Advertiser.

Perhaps we shall never know all the causes of the pre sent war, but they are coming out one by one, and from most unexpected quarters. The latest suggestion of one of the possible causes is furnished by the Havana Diario de la Marina. Just as we were receiving the despatches announcing a declaration of war on account of an alleged insult to Count Benedetti, a Havana merchant received a telegram from Europe to the following purport : - " Prussia refuses to give explanations about the Saint Gotthard Railroad. War imminent." Nothing was said about this in the despatches received in this country, and the matter referred to is by no means a sufficient ground for war, of itself. It is certain, nevertheless ' that the question of a new railroad to connect North Germany with Italy through Switzerland by means of a tunnel beneath St. Gotthard has been the cause of serious appre hension on the part of the French, whether well or ill grounded may be judged. The Alps have four principal passages—that at Mont Cenis, where a tunnel has been nearly finished, the Simpson, the St. Gotthard, and the Splugen. The first lies between Savoy and Italy, the other three between Switzerland and Italy. Austria, as is well known, covets a railroad by the Spulgen pass as much as North Germany desires a connection by way of St. Gotthard. A treaty between Italy, Switzerland, and North Germany for the construction of a tunnel under the latter mountain was signed on the 20th of June last, North Germany agreeing to pay its subvention before the Ist of January next, the time for completing the tunnel being fixed at twelve years. The plan of Prussia was comprehensive, and involved the building of a railroad that should connect its ports on the North Sea, by way of Bavaria, Wurtembur„,ff Baden, and Switzerland, with the ports of Trieste and Brindisi. The time necessary to construct the tunnel and railroad pre cludes the idea of any military design in such a line, even if such designs would not be impossible of execution, owing to the neutrality of Belgium, to which every European power is pledged. Prussia has in addition given the most positive assurances that its intention was only to secure a com mercial line, which would be a part of the shortest route from England to the East. The French press has chosen to regard it otherwise, however, and has spoken of the proposed work as a measure hostile to the French Govern ment. The Emperor and the Ministry have not laid so 'much stress on this view, although they may have shared in the opinion. It is very improbable that the question of the St. Gotthard railway has had any influence in bringing about the war, but it would not be surprising if the contending powers should mention the work in the treaty which will be concluded at the close of the war. Boston Advertiser. THE CURIOUS WILL CASE.—TIMHS V. HUTLEY.—In the chambers of Vice-Chancellor Bacon, before the Chief Clerk (Mr. Allen), the case of Timms v. Hutley was be fore the court on an application with regard to time. It will be recollected that this is a most curious suit. The facts are these : the question involved is the validity of the claim of the wife of the plaintiff to the wealth of a Mr. Hutley, ,an extensive cheesemonger, in Bloomsbury, who died worth upwards of £200,000, and who was the first husband of the lady. The latter was quite a young woman, and the testator was a very old gentleman. He died shortly after his marriage, leaving the bulk of his property to his wife. During his last illness he was attended by Dr. Timms, and a few months subsequent to his death the doctor married the widow. The case was tried in the Probate Court, and the will set aside. The questions now at issue are two—lst,,whether the first will of the testator is vitiated by his marriage ? and 2nd, whether that marriage is legal or not? On the matter being called on only one of the parties appeared, and the matter was adjourned. PR ICE / 41: STAMPED 2cl ANOTHER DIPLOMATIC REVELATION. An Austrian monthly review, the _Deutsche Ungarisehe MonatsBchrift, publishes a series of propositions made by the Emperor Napoleon at Salzbourg, in 1867, to Count Beust: The Independance Beige, while quoting the statement, leaves the question of its authenticity entirely to the Austrian journal, The substance is as follows :—Napoleon undertakes to give active support to Austria in case of her enforcing the Treaty of Prague. Treaties of alliance between the South German States and Prussia shall be considered an infraction of that treaty, and the South German States shall be invited to form a Confederation under the protectorate of Austria and France, the Emperor of Austria being the head of the Parliament sitting at Vienna. Prussia shall be called on to evacuate Mayence, and in case she refuses to carry out the Treaty of Prague France and Austria will declare war against her. France will claim Saarebruck and Saarlouis, and Austria Southern Silesia, should any of the South German States refuse to join the proposed Confederation, war will be declared against them. REAL'S EXECUTION. From the barbarism of yesterday we turn with disgust. We need not say again that we had little sympathy with the condemned, and none whatever with his crime, no matter what its provocation ; nor have we any with the unprofitable taking of human life by the forms of law. Suppose the death penalty were not in force, and John Real, immediately after the slaying of Smedick, had been convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life. The result would have been that long ago he would have ceased to be a power for eviL How is it now ? A practice as imbecile as it is inhuman has changed the malefactor into a martyr; has made a hero of an assassin. It has elevated and dig nified crime and created a sympathy for the criminal which is so far creditable to our age in that it at least marks its progress in humanity. There was a time when the masses delighted in man's inhumanity to man, but we have arrived at the happier era when all such exhibitions make millions mourn. It has been our con stant argument against the death penalty that it defeats its object. We presume that no one will venture to applaud any penalty that is intended simply as a punishment of crime, or deny that the object of its infliction must be exclusively the protec tion of society. How is it with the death penalty ? Do murders decrease as hangings mul tiply? The advocates of the gallows have often been asked to furnish affirmative proof on these points, and have as often failed to produce it. On the other hand, States where the death penalty is abro gated are comparatively free from homicides. Certainty, rather than extremity of punishment, is the surest antidote to criminal offences. Every execution makes plainer that it is a blunder, if not a crime. Every murder trial makes clearer the in creasing repugnance of juries to find a verdict of guilty in capital cases. Every day and in every way it is becoming more apparent that a great crime against society is that relic of the dark ages which converts the " dastardly villain" of the hour of his crime into the "poor unfor tunate" of the moment of his execution.—New York Tribune, August 6. MARKETS. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY.—The grain trade to-day has been quiet. The supply of English wheat has been short, but there has been a good show of foreign. For all qua lities the demand has been inactive, at Monday's prices. The supply of barley has been moderate. Sales have progressed slowly, on former terms. Malt has been inactive, at late rates. There has again been good supply of oats in the market, for which the enquiry has been restricted, at late currencies. Beans and peas have been quiet. Flour has been less sought after ; the demand for barrels on French accmint having subsided. Arrivals :--English and Scotch.—Wheat, 46P beans, 200 ; peas. 100. Foreign.—Wheat, 15,120 ; barley, 5,800 ; OR£4, 65,960 ; maize, 15,280 ; beans, 1,060 ; peas, 370 qrs.; and 2,030 sacks of flour. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—Thd market to-day opened exceedingly quiet, and there was a small attendance. There has been no quotable change in wheat. Maize was 6d. lower, but with a better inquiry. The sale of oats, beans, and pea was slow, and prices favoured the buyers. WAKEFIELIY CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have fair sup . . . dies at our market to-day, and there is a moderate demand fo-r fresh old wheat at last week's rates. The prices of new may be considered as settled down :—Reds, 483. ; line, 30s. ; whites, 525. to 565. ; new barley was offered at 40s. ; but there were not many samples on the market. LINCOLN CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—There is a large at tendance and brisk market here to-day. Red wheat sells at from 475. to 48s. ; white, at from 525. to 535. Old beans make 52. Other sorts are quiet. METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET, FRIDAY.—The supplies of meat have been moderate. The trade has been quiet at about late rates. Beef, from 3s. 4cl. to 4s. 4d. ; mutton, 3s. Bd. to ss. 2d. ; lamb, ss. 6d, to Os. Od. ; veal, 4s. Bd. to ss. Od. ; and pork, 3s. Bd. to ss. 4d. per 81b, by the carcase. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY. Opening re port.—lmport, 21,600 bales; sales, 72,000 bales; Estimated stock, 528,900 bales ; of which 246,000 bales are American, and 149,000 bales are Surats. Taken by the trade, 52,300 bales ; by speculators, 4,600 bales. Declared export, 14,400 bales. Actual export, 9,300 bales. Mid-Orleans, ; Mobiles, ad. ; Up lands, Sid. ; fair Dhollerah, 7id. ; fair Egyptian, lOgd. The market opens with a fair demand. Holders are firm. Prices favour sellers. The sales will probably be from 12,000 to 15,000 bales. MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The market to-day opens with the improved tone of yesterday. Prices con tinue very firm for both yarns and cloth, and the tendency is rather against buyers. Owing to the advance in prices de manded by producers in consequence of the unchanged value of cotton, business is still checked, especially for transactions of magnitude. There is, however, a large daily miscellaneous business going on, perhaps almost equal to the productions, and buyers would evidently operate much more freely if sellers were in a position to accept even the rates of last Friday,- which, however, they are compelled to de cline. In yarn, for the home trade, an average business is doing at very full rates. For the East the transac tions are not large, but prices are dearer notwithstanding. Watered twists for China is in good demand at dearer rates. In cloth the business doing is rather considerable, and generally for shipping goods. Shirtings, mulls, and jaconets are in good request ; prints are in less demand. Home trade goods are in steady demand at full rates. The war on the Continent seems to have more influence on our market than the question of supply and demand. Prices advance with each Prussian success. LONDON TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The tallow market flat, at 455. Y.C., sellers October to December, sold at 445. on the spot. Linseed oil, 295. 6d.; English brown rape, 415.; refined, 435. 6d.; foreign, 475. American and French turpentine, 295.; American refined petroleum, ls. sfd.

LONDON COLONIAL MARKET, FRIDAY.—The sugar market has ruled quiet, and prices have shown weakness for both raw and relined goods. British West India is quoted at 205. 6d. to 265. ; Java, 305. to 335. Tea has sold slowly at unaltered cur rencies. Coffee has been in fair request, and the quotations have been supported. In rice, no run. No sales of importance have transpired. St. Petersburg clean hemp was quoted at £35 10s. to £36. Sago dull. BOROUGH HOP MARKET, FRIDAY.—The business doing in the hop market has been very moderate. Nevertheless, a fair amount of firmness has been apparent, notwithstanding the favourable accounts from the plantations, and the prospect of an abundant yield. Mid and East Rents, £6 6s. to £9 9s. : Wealds, £6 to £7 10s. ; Sussex, £5 ss. to £6 10s. ; Bavarians, £5 ss. to £7 ; French, £4 10s. to £6. ; Americans,42 ss. to £3 10s. ; and yearlings, £1 ss. to £2los. per cwt. GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, FRIDAY. The market continues firm, at ss. 11d. cash paid, closing rather sellers at this price. CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, FRIDAY.—This market to-day has been better, the demand being good. A good business has been done at steady prices. SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The trade of South Wales has been influenced during the past week by a feeling of reluctance on the part of buyers to enter into fresh contracts ; and until the effects of the war upon the iron trade generally are ascertained,tany marked improvement is scarcely anticipated. There is some fear that the protracted drought will interfere with operations. America is purchasing largely in the district, while at the same time the requirements of Russia have materially decreased. A good demand for miscellaneous descriptions is expected shortly. The hands engaged at the principal tin-plate mills are fairly employed, and quite the average number of plates is being sent to foreign markets. The improvement which we recently noticed in the steam coal trade of the district is not only maintained, but the demand from French buyers is steadily increasing, large quantities being now shipped at the local ports for Cherbourg and othor French harbours. Heavy supplies are also being despatched to several of the naval stations. The purchases of the Mail Packet Companies are fully up to the average. The home coal trade continues quiet.

PARIS PREPARING FOR A SIEGE.- -Paris is being armed and provisioned. Forts, barracks, the lodges of the octroi officials all alike have become storehouses of war and military positions. There are 80,00 men in the city gar rison and 30,000 in the ports. That is the whole effective force. The custom-house officers are 9,000 ; the Foresters form two regiments of 3,000 men each. With two regiments of infantry and one battalion of foot chasseurs they will make a division of 18,000 men. The corps of General Vinoz will amount to 60,000 men in a day or two. Eight thousand five hundred sailors have already arrived and 3,000 more are expected. From Nantes, Havre, and Rouen large stocks of rice, of grain, of hay, and other stores, are being sent in. Mills are being set up in Paris. Up to the present moment only 1,200 sacks could be ground per day. With the new mills at work more than 3,000 can be ground. Paris has already a supply of flour for twenty-five days, and of grain for thirty.
