This company is formed for the purpose of affording More convenient accommodation for the shipping and com merce of the colony of South Australia under the following circumstances : 11. The colony of South Australia, with its mineral and agricultural products, is admittedly rich in all things which can tend to create an extensive and prosperous trade with o: her countries, and 11, thing retards its elevation to the highest point of commercial prosperity so much as the want of convenient and sufficient accommodation for the shipping resorting thereto. 111. That portion of the Port of Adelaide to which the shipping at present resorts is about seven miles irom the city of that name, and situated at the extremity of an arm of the sea, which after leaving the point known as the North Arm be , oines a narrow and tortuous channel, two miles and three quarters in length difficult to navigate without grounding . , a nd except at flood tide and with a favourable wind inacces sible to vessels without th expense of a steam-tug ; this ter. urinates in shoal water, where vessels are crowded together, for the most part aground, subject to all the risks of broken. I ll's, broken backs, and conflagration—nor can these disad vantages and risks be remedied at the present shipping, place, RI3 the water is shoaling up every year, and with ail the pre sent heavy and constant expense incurred in dredging cargot , be sufficiently deepened for vessels to lie afloat. (S 'Appendix) IV. The serious and important nature of this question has frequently engaged the attention of the Colonial Government and Parliament, and it may be safely affirmed that the effect of the testimony of success' e Governors and other authori ties, colonists and shipping masters resorting to the port has down to the present day been condemnatory of the nresent shipping place and i n f avour of the North Arm, as afford i ng the requisite tacilities for accommodatin a large amount of shipping of any clas s, an d of becoming, as originally in tended, and still d es i red, the permanent port for Adelaide. (See Appendix.) V. At the North Arm is a magnificent sheet of deep water land-locked, forming a natural basin of great extent, with smooth water and of easy navigation for vessels of the largest burden ; and the site selected by the Company, unlike the adjacent land, is elevated above the highest flood, has deep water in immediate proximity to the shore, and an abundant supply of fresh water, with a frontage to the harbour of over 3,000 feet in length for wharf purposes, and of over 1,500 laterally, immediately abutting on the site re served for Government Graving Docks. VI. An advantageous arrangement has been made with the proprietors of tne land required for the purposes of the Company, by which nearly two-thirds of the purchase /noney will be taken in e eferred shares, to remain in the la ends of the directors, on terms securing to the shareholders a priority of dividend to the extent of 5 per cent., till the profits yield sufficient to pay that amount of dividend on the aggregate of the paid-up capital and deferred shares. The remaining one third is to be paid in cash, at pe iods favour able to the shareholders. The property secured is about 700 acres (extending from the river across Lefevre's peninsula, about one mile in breadth to the Gulf Anchorage), to be con nected with the western bank by means of a steam floating bridge, and the Company has also arranged to purchase on favourable terms additional land on the western bank oppo site the site already secured, with a view to bringaig both sides of the harbour within th e sphere of the Company's perations. VII. It is intended to Construct upwards of 2,000 feet of • 'wharf frontage at once, where vessel of the largest tonnage may lay alongside, and to erect wharves, warehouses, and other conveniences, affording ample accommodation to the shipping resorting to the port. Also an extension of two /rates of railway to complete the line already laid down by the Government, from the city of Adelaide to the North Arm, and a short line of four-and-a-half miles to the Dry-Creek Station, on the Great North and Murray River Railway, thereby effecting a saving of 12 miles of carriage between the great producing districts and the port of the colony. VIII. As proving the opening afforded for additional ship accommodation by the increasing prosperity of the colony, the commercial returns show that the exparts and imports for the year 1850 amounted to £1,416,389, that of 1860 to £3,423,307, and that of 'B6l to £4,0 8 3,155, the wharf dues upon which amount to upwards of £30,000 per annum. IX. The frontage of the proposed wharves, extending for upwards of half a mile, where vessels drawing upwards of 20 feet of water can come alongside at low water, offers such superior advantages as must obviously secure a large propor tion of this business, and thus a very large return to the shareholders, as by colonial law the wharf dues for all goods landed are levied according to regulated tariff. Other impor tant sources of revenue are supplied by the rental of commo dious warehouses included in the estimates, the aggregate rental of which cannot be estimated at less than £12,000 a year ; also by the railways, land, and other rentals, which will accrue from the large population which the operations of the company will atract to their property. X. The cost of the undertaking, including udingthe purchase of the land, the construction of wharves, railway communica tionammocla=, and the c Te tion of war hus; v s e lid other tion a b ove - me ntioned, has been carefully revised, and esti- Elated by the late Captain Mooreom, C2E., at a sum within the first issue of the c ompany's capital. It is also estimated that the whole of this amount will notbereq t u e. ir e e x d ee t n o t r e t t w h o e Years. Responsible contractor s are prepared Works within the estimat . Any further capital agitaadlywianitloe ofnly be raised as the increase of business and the the company requires. XI.

The news from Jacmel reports another revolu- tionary attempt in Hayti, made by one General Athie Legras, but which was promptly put down, without disturbing to any extent the tranquillity of the country. The Barbadoes Legislature met on the 12th, but no , business of importance was transacted. Ex- Bank bills 93 days, 482 k dole.; 60 days, 485 dole.; 30 days, 487 k dole. ; private bills, 4772 dole.

The State Assembly, which met in Panama on the 6th May, had done nothing of importance beyond naming officers. ntelligence from Guatemala states that Carrera had made no further demonstration against Salva dor. In the latter state a great deal of dissatis faction prevailed, caused by President Barrios's invasion of Nicaragua, in aid of the rebel Jerez, who had been completely routed by President Mar tinez. After the defeat of Jerez the Nicaraguan Government again obtained possession of the boats, storehouses, and other property of the Transit Company.

Verner is again canvassing the electors of Lisburn, confining his attention at present to those who voted for him at the last election. The Northern Whig states that they will not all support him now, and that some of them have positively refused to vote for him in the impending contest, solelyon the ground of dissatisfaction about the late petition. In the meantime the " independent electors" are earnestly requested, in a placard, to keep themselves disengaged, as a gentleman worthy to represent the borough will immediately appear as a candidate. Among the Liberal candidates spoken of are Mr. J. J. Richardson, Sir J. M. Higgiason, Mr. Charley, and Mr. Robert Barbour, brother of the late member. Whoever may be the candidate, the Liberals are determined to fight the battle over again and to poll the last man. They allege that bribery was praetisad on the other side as freely as on theirs, and that if there were no bribery their men would be sure to_win. Mr. Thomas O'Connell, election auditor for the county and borough of Tralee, has made application to all the candidates who had addressed the electors for the borough of Tralee for his fee of £lO. Mr. O'Connell claims to be entitled to this fee by the 34th section of the 20th and 21st of Vic., c. 102. The ' 3d section of the 20th and 21st of Vic., c. 87, defines the candidates to be "all persons elected to serve in Parliament at such election, or who shall have de clared themselves candidates for such election, on or after the issuing of such writ, or after the vacancy takes place." If he succeeds, there will not be so many orators getting themselves nominated for the purpose of making speeches. That would be pay ing rather too much for the pleasure. Yesterday a marriage occurred in Clontari church which is regarded with interest by the Protestant public as a very suitable one. The bridegroom is the Rev. W. Cuningham Plunket, nephew to Lord Plunket and heir to the peerage ; and the bride is _ _ the only daughter of Mr. Benjamin Lee Guinness, head of the firm of that name, and so wealthy that he can afford to spend more than £lOO,OOO in restoring St. Patrick's Cathedral. The West Cork Railway is giving employment to hundreds of idle men, with distressed families, about Bandon ; but they have already struck, and beat the steward unmercifully, because he did not do what was not in his power to do—namely, raise their wages from Bs. a week to 10s. a week. The funeral of the late Mr. Jackson; of Nenagh, which occurred on Monday last, was attended by large numbers of the gentry and repectable farmers, but there was a remarkable absence of the peasantry. The Nenagh Guardian states that " the expansive lawn which fronts the house was covered with the largest collection of vehicles it ever had on any similar occasion. The remains were deposited in Ballymackey churchyard, the burial-place for cen turies of the Jacksons. The rector, the Rev. Mr. Going, read the burial service. He made some im pressive remarks on the murder, and exhorted his hearers to pray that whoever sheds man's blood, by man may his blood be shed,'—by which of course he meant that the murderer of Mr, Jackson might be brought to justice. The South Dublin Board of Guardians have agreed almost unanimously to have separate places of worship erected for Roman Catholics and Protes tants.

VESSEL OVERHAULED BY A CONFEDERATE C ,RursEß.—The Callao, arrived at Antwerp, etates that the sate Dyer was overhauled by the Confederate cruiser Lap wing on the Bth of May, and compelled to give a ransom 1 bond for 40,000 dole. The Lapwing was a prize to the Confederate steamer Florida, and transformed into a Con , federate crition Her Majesty at the ExhibitioD. Yesterday her Majesty saw for the first time the interior of the Exhibition building, which she had expressed her intention of visiting on Tuesday last when at the Hortieultural Gardens to see the Pricce Consort's Memorial. The visit was not a private one in the strict sense of the term, neither was it public, for the contractors, with much good taste, declined to give orders of admission to any visitors beyond the Ministers and noblemen who were to receive her Majesty under the western dome. Some ladies end gentlemen, however, who were aware of the visit came into the building from the Horticul tural Gardens, and assembled in the west galleries to the number of about 100 or so ; but this was all. Under the west dome, waiting to receive her Majesty, were Lord Granville with his brother Com missioners for 1862, Sir Wentworth Dilke, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Mr. T. Fairb.eirn, and their secretary and assistant-secretary, Sir Francis Sand ford and Mr. Lindon. There were also present the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Derby, Lord Torrington, Lord and Lady Portman, Lord Overstone, Mr. Di sraeli, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Robert Low, Mr. Henry Cole, Mr. Redgrave, Mr. John Kelk, and Messrs. Charles and Thomas Lucas, Captain Fowke, Mr. Crace, and Mr. Edgar Bowring. The morning was very dull and cloudy, and the building was filled with rather a misty vapour; but just before her Majesty arrived the sun shone out bright and clear, and ',elated up all the nave and side courts in the most crictive manner. Precisely, to the very minute of the time indicated, her Ma jesty arrived, accompanied by their Royal High nesses the. Princesses Helena and Beatrice. Her Majesty wore, of course, deep widow's mourning, but looked remarkably well in health, and during her walk through the building,and especially when speaking to the noblemen and gentlemen who were presented to her, her face wore much of its old well known look of calm pleasure and satisfaction. Lord Granville with Lord Derby and the Duke of Buccleuch received her Majesty upon alighting from her carriage, and accompanied her, with the Princesses, to the platform under the Western Dome, where the party remained some time while the Queen surveyed the building, and while Lord Granville pointed out where the most important divisions of classes during the late Exhibition had been made. Her Majesty appeared especially struck with the length and fine proportions of the great central hall which forms the Nave, across which the sun was shining with such brightness as to show off its long vista and effective colouring to the best advantage. The one or two little objects which had been left in the side courts were just suffi cient to assist the eye in estimating the great extent of a building which encloses 16 acres of ground un der its roof. After a few minutes had been passed in this survey the noblemen and gentlemen con nected with the late Exhibition who had assembled to meet her Majesty were called forward in turn, and for all and each of them as they advanced the Queen had a few words of kind and gracious praise for their past labours. Messrs. Kelk and Lucas were congratulated on having raised so fine and large a building in so short a time, and Mr. Grace on the very successful manner in which he had deco rated it. Mr. Gladstone was honoured with a longer conference than any other gentleman. After this her Majesty traversed the whole length of the build ing to the Eastern Dome, stopping once to again survey the interior. Under the Eastern Dome only a short pause was made, when her Majesty ascended to the gallery beneath the clock, and remained here for some time looking down the Nave—the best, position from which the interior can be seen. From here the Royal party proceeded through the Eng lish portion of the Picture Galleries, where Mr. Redgrave and Captain Fowke were complimented by the Queen on the effective appearance and admirable lighting and proportions of the gal leries. Her Majesty then passed down the stair case leading to the Cromwell-road, and so on across the building into the Horticultural Gardens, having spent nearly an hour in examining the in terior. As various statements have been made with re gard to the sum expended by the contractors on the building, and the amount they received in pay ment from the commissioners, it may not be out of place to state here what the report of the Commis sioners will in a few days make public, that the total cost of completing the entire structure and annexes was £363,000. For this building the Commissioners, bound themselves to pay the contractors £300,000, and a further sum of £130,000 if the building was definitively purchased, out of whatever surplus re ceipts there might remain. They were so far from having a surplus, however, that the Commissioners were only able to pay the contractors £234,000 out of their' £300,000, leaving £66,000 still due to them. But their exchequer was not able to afford even this part payment of £234,000, for when the accounts were definitively closed up there was found to be a deficit of £15,000, which Mr. Kelk, in the most liberal manner, met by handing his check to the Cora. missioners for that amount. It may appear strange that only £BO,OOO is asked for a building that cost £363,000 but a twelvemonth ago; but it must be recollected that the terms of their contract oblige Messrs. Kelk and Lucas to pull down and remove the entire building if it is not purchased, and that at present they are actually under notice to do so, when it would have to be sold as old materials. The estimate of the Government surveyors is that the materials in the building when pulled down and sold as second-hand would be worth £78,000, and this, with £2,000 for the gas and other fittings, is exactly the sum which the Government have offered to give for the building, and so release the contrac tors from the trouble of taking it down. This is not a liberal bargain for the Government to make after the spirit displayed by the contractors in relinquish ing their claim to a sum like £66,000, and after• wards giving the Commissioners the money to cover their deficiency; but no doubt Mr. Glad stone felt that in making a bargain for the nation he was bound to bring down the price to the lowest level, by leaving the contractors no choice but that of taking down the building and selling it as old materials, or selling it to the country for the same sum as it stands. For the land, which the Commis sioners of 1851 offer to sell to the Government for £lOO,OOO, as much as £275,000 was offered by a private firm a short time since ; but of course the Commissioners could not listen to this offer , as their charter of incorporation binds them to reserve the land always, either for purposes connected with f u ture exhibitions, or as sites for museums for the advancement of science and art. SUITORS CONCILIATION.—Lord Brougham has laid before the House of Lords a bill declaring it lawful for the County Court judges to decide any disputes or arrange any differences which persons may be willing to refer to their amicable decision and adjustment. The submission would be in writing, and the parties would be bound by the judge's decision. FEDERAL ARMY FEELING.—A soldier in the Federal army of the Potomac, formerly a resident in Montreal, has seat to that city a letter giving his account ' of the recent battles won at Fredericksburg. He says of them—" Altogether, this last series of battles was a most singular affair, and I believe if our generals and officers had supported the general commanding, we should have gained a glorious victory for the Union. But there is 'something rotten in the state of Denmark' with regard to us, many of our (Beet s not being at all anxious to endanger their pre cious lives, or put themselves in a situation which would prevent their drawing the monthly supply of greenbacks. Another drawback existed as regards the two years men, who were not inclined to fight in earnest, for various rea sons satisfactory perhaps to themselves. In tact, there is scarcely any of the hoops so inclined to fight. There has been too much shuffling and humbugging with this army in the way of making and unmaking generals, regardless of the wishes of the army and the interests of the country; and the suppression of the rebellion is felt to be beyond human accomplishment. Time was when it could easily have been done, had M'Clellan been supported by the War Department when before Richmond, and I believe the war would now have been over. But at present there is not much prospect of its terminatiorb,, AMERICA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) (Per Chino.) NEW YORK, June 2, Afternoon. The war is daily assuming a more bloody and vindictive character. The officers of Colonel Straight's command, captured at Rome, Alabama, are held by the Confederate authorities at the demand of the governor of Alabama, upon the plea ;hat there were negro soldiers in the ranks. General Hunter has informed President D.~ris, that unless the order for the execution of white officers commanding negroes is revoked he shall execute every rebel officer and slaveholder in his possession. It is rumoured that General Hunter has been removed. The reported hanging of negroes by General Marmaduke is not credited. General Burnside has forbidden the circulation of the New York World in his department. NEW YORK, June 2, Evening. According to correspondents' accounts General Grant appears to have shown considerable reck lessness in throwing his men against the fortifica tions of Vicksburg, which are impregnable to as sault without previous siege operations. In the last assault Grant lost 2,500, killed and wounded, in thirty minutes. The Federal gunboat Cincinnatti has been sunk by the Vicksburg batteries. Up to the 29th ult. the situation of affairs at Vicksburg remained unchanged. NEW YORK, June 3, 1 p.m. General Banks's forces, with the forces from Baron Rouge, have completely invested Port Hud son, and are besieging that stronghold in the rear, whilst Admiral Farragut's fleet keep up a continual bombardment from the river. The Port Hudsou garrison is estimated at from 4,000 to 10,000 men. They are said to be scantily supplied with pro visions; and it was believed in New Orleans that the fall of Port Hudson was only a question of time, even if General Banks did not assault the works. Nothing further has been received from Lee's or Hooker's army. Gen. Hunter is about to send a fresh negro ex pedition to Florida. A portion of Gen. Price's army had crossed the Arkansas river, but was driven back by tbeFederals. The Confederates, however, remained in front of the Federals in considerable force—supposed to be the advance of Gen. Price's main army. General Burnside notified the proprieters of the Chicago 7tmes yesterday that if they issued their paper to-day the military would seize their office. The proprietors applied for a civil writ egainst the military authorities. The judge of the United States Court last night issued the writ enjoining the military not to carry out Gen. Burnside's order until an applicati©n for a permanent injunction could be heard to-day. At three o'clock this morn ing the soldiers broke into the 7inzes office, seized the paper, and then left, stating that if an attempt were made to publish another paper they would take permanent possession of the office. Great ex citement prevails at Chicago, and a collision between the military and the people is expected. The Federal Government has stopped the further exchange of officers in consequence of the Confede rates detaining the officeri of Col. Streight's com mand. Blockade running at Charleston is very active. The steamer Beauregard arrived at Charleston on the 20th, and the Banshee at Wilmington on the 28th. The steamer Eagle has been captured near Nassau, and a steamer was sunk on the 20th by the Charleston blockading squadron. Large Vallandigham meetings have been held in Buffalo, Newark, Philadelphia, and other places. The resolutions passed at Newark declared there was reason to fear the establishment of a military despotism instead of an elective government if the rulers madly attempted to deprive the people of an appeal to the ballot. It would be the duty of the people to withdraw their consent from such a go vernment, and to construct, by the most speedy means, the government of their fathers. A military force was present, but withdrew at the request of the mayor. The Philadelphia resolutions declared that the arrest of Mr. Vallandigham was an insult to the people, and that the remedy was in the ballot-box. As there was a suspicion that the Washington authorities desired by military aggression to pro voke a popular outbreak, thus furnishing them with an apology to encumber the people in the exercise of their voting, the people were exhorted to remain quiet. A democratic mass convention of people in favour of peace, and opposed to the continuation of the war, will be held in New York this afternoon. The New York Trtbune denies that General Hunter has been removed. The China takes out 119 passengers and 25,000 dollars in specie. POSTSCRIPT. —An influential committee of Aboli tionists has visited President Lincoln, urging him to give Fremont the command of coloured troops. The New York Tribune asserts that President Lin coln said he would accept and protect all coloured troops offered, that he looked to them for essential service in ending the war, and that he would gladly offer a command to Fremont.

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.) NEW YORK, May 30. By private advices from Vicksburg there is no doubt but the attack has been repulsed, with the loss of 20,000 Union troops out of the army of 60,000. The remainder, like General Hooker at the late battle of Fredericksburg, are entrenching themselves, in fear of a large Confederate force ap proaching in their rear. It is the opinion of mili tary men that this expedition of the Unionists will end in disgrace and defeat. The falsehoods of the Administration organs will, as heretofore, no doubt be exposed. They claim a great victory, and the sure possession of Vicksburg shortly. The Rev. IL Ward Beecher embarks to-day with great éclat, accompanied by 1,000 of his parishioners to the steamer—ostensibly for his health, really as an agent of the Government.

Edward Pepys, Earl of Cottenham, of Felcourt House, and of Tan bridge Court, Surrey, was administered to in her Majesty's Court of Probate by the testator's brother and heir, the Right Hon. William John Pepys, Earl of Cottenham, who is appointed the universal legatee in the will, there being no executor named. The will is very brief, and is entirely in his lordship's own handwriting, bearing date Jan. 11, 1852, and contained in words to this effect—" Earl of Cottenham, being in possession of my senses,. do will all my property, entailed or not entailed,. and I, Chas.

The deputation was introduced by HEALEY, who afterwards moved that the resolution passed by this board ordering the change of name referred to, be rescinded, as being against the wishes of the inhabitants. The motion was seconded, but rejected by a majo rity of 16 to 12. STATE OF THE THAMES. The PRESIDENT said that the attention of the public was natutally directed to the state of the Thames at this season of the year. He was happy to say that the late heavy rains had had a most be neficial effect upon it, and it was now in a satisfac tory state. REPORT FROM MAIN DRAINAGE COMMITTEE.— THE OPEN SEWER AT KILBURN. c m M ra r t F t e R e , E s E:s a i t A i N n g a r o m u o g n h g t o n th p e ra things, report hing sw it h from refe rence to the memorial from the Committee of the Kilburn Dispensary, on the subject of the open sewer running through Kilburn, that, inasmuch as the Committee of the Dispensary have taken no steps, as yet, to have the question of jurisdiction and liability, with respect to the sewer, settled, the committee are of opinion that no action should be taken by the board, with reference thereto, at pre sent. The matter was, after some discussion, referred back to the committee for further consideration. THE RANELAGH SEWER. The committee also stated, with reference to the letter from Mr. Aveling, clerk to the vestry of Pad dington, with copy of resolution of vestry, expres sing their opinion that it is the duty of the board to cover in the open Ranelagh sewer forthwith, that the sewer in question is one of the main sewers of the metropolis, upon which the engineer has been directed to report, with a view to measures being adopted for covering them over and making them efficient ; that such report was in course of prepa ration, and that they have instructed the engineer to hasten its completion as much as possible. THAMES EMBANKMENT. A report was brought up from the Thames Em bankment Committee with reference to the memo rial on the subject of the proposed viaduct across Ludgate-hill by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, that, inasmuch as the company do not propose to apply for powers to interfere with property north of the river, the board would not, in the opinion of the committee, have any grounds. for taking steps in the matter. This recommendation R as adopted. FINANCE. The cash statement for the current week shows a total general balance of £116,583 is. After disposing of the routine business, the board adjourned. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 12.—1 n yarns there has been a more cheerful feeling in the market to-day, and some of the merchants have ventured to make offers. The principal of these have been for yarns suited to India, but at ld. per lb. under the prices which spinners would be disposed to accept. For the home trade there has been rather more business, and full prices have been. obtained. The yarn market closes with a more healthy feeling than it has done for some days past. In cloth there is little or no change since Tuesday. The reports generally concur in representing things flat, and ror the same reason as on Tuesday—discouraging ac. counts from India (buyers for that quarter being now'out of the market), and timidity arising from vague fears connected with the fall of Vicksburg. At the same time that these reports are given of the market as a whole, it is stated that people have been availing themselves of the general flatness during the week to put out orders which they have been keeping back during the late activity, and which they have found might be placed with some advan tage. For instance, we hear of a manufacturer booking a very large order only yesterday, and'at a price which will be remunerative. The business doing in this way is said to be for no one particular market, but is of a general character, arising out of the lowness to which stocks have been in many in stances reduced in some of our large orders. We hear of wry little speculative business. There are few or no purchases for re-sale, and most of the transactions of recent date have been entered into to supply actual wants. In some quarters this busi ness is attributed to an opinion, which is again gaining ground, that whatever advantages may be gained on either side in the American civil war the struggle will be a prolonged one, and this is all that is necessary for the present to give strength to the market and confidence among buyers and sellers. We hear of a few more mills resuming business, but not many. Mr. Maclure in his monthly report to the Central Relief Committee, dated the Bth instant, gives the number of operatives working full time at 205,908, and those wholly out of employ at 191,199, while rather more than 129,000 are working one, two, three, four, or five days per week. From this it may be inferred that, making allowance for the less production ob tained with Surat cotton as compared with Ameri can, the out-turn of the mills is considerably more than half what it was in 1860, or before the cotton famine had begun to affect trade. As the price of goods, however, is net quite double what it was then (though cotton is proportionably much higher), there is reason to believe that the production so far has not yet overtaken the means of consumption, and hence there is some hope that the improvement, as far as it is gone, may be maintained. CARDIFF, 1 lth.—A good number of ships have arrived of late, and a considerable reduction has been the result in freights. This circumstance has materially benefited the coal trade, and the collieries are at present kept going pretty regularly. There is a fair demand for steam coal, and quotations are firmer. The ironmasters are moderately well off for orders, and there is considerabl e activity at the works. The inquiries from th e continent have is not yet been so numerous as expect: shipmentsd. her h n i o s change to report in pric es. Th month have been large, ow i n g to an accumulation of orders through the w an t of vessels. Foreign Nail racket List. MAILS DUE. ituelra lia and Mauritius , via Southam p ton.
