This Company is formed for the purpose of manufacturing Cocoa-Nut Fibre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent granted to George Davies, dated the 24th April, 1862. The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the Improved pile of the mat, and. owing, to the mode of weaving, great durability is given to the fabric at a reduced cost of manufacture. The superiority of articles manufactu red by this process over the present method will be well understood in the trade when it is stated that matting of all desc ri p tions, and car riage and door mats, BLc., have a thick fibrous pile upon the surface hitherto unattained. If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full. Specimens of the new and improved aufacture may be seen at the offices of the Company, where applications for prospectuses and shares may be made.

The Hudson's Bay Company were incorporated under a Royal Charter granted by King Charles IL in 1670 by the name of "The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson's Bay," and, by the Charter, a vast tract of territory was vested in the Company, together with the sole right of trade and commerce, and all " mines royal," as well then discovered as not discovered, within the said territory. The operations of the Company, which, with slight excep tions, have been hitherto exclusively of a trading character, have been prosecuted from the date of the charter to the pre sent day. It hae become evident that the time has arrived when those operations must be extended, and the immense resources the Company's territory, lying as it does between Canada and Itritish Columbia, should be developed in accordance with the industrial spirit of the age, and the rapid advance ment which colonisation has made in the countries adjacent to the Hudson Bay territories. The average net annual profits of the Company (after set ting aside 40 per cent. of them as remuneration to the factors and servants at the Company's posts and stations) for the 10 years ending the 31st May, 1862, amount to £Bl,OOO, or up wards of 4 per cent on the present nominal capital of £2,000,000. A portion only of this income has been distributed as dividend, while the remainder is represented in the assets and balanc a. The assets of the Company, in which the Subscribers will be entitled to an interest corresponding to the amount of their subscriptions, will consist of goods in the interior, on shipboard, and other stock in trade, includ ing shipning, business, premises, and other buildings n'ces sary for carrying on the fur trade, in addition to which there will be funds immediately available for the proposed ex tended operations of the Company, derived partly from the cash balance of the Hudson's Bay Company, and partly from the new issue of Stock, and amounting in the whole to a sum not less than £70,000. The Company's territory embraces an estimated area of more than 1,400,000 square miles. or 896,000,000 of acres, of which a large area, on the southern frontier, is well adapted for European colonisation. The soil of this portion of the territory is fertile, producing in abundance wheat and other cereal crops, and is capable of sustaining a numerous po pulation. It contains 1,400 miles of n vigable lakes and rivers, running for the greater part east and west, which constitute an important feature in plans for establishing the means of communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, across the continent of British North America,as well as for immediate settlement in the intervening country. The territory is, moreover, rich in mineral wealth, including coal, lead, and iron. In addition to its chartered territory, the Company possess the following valuable landed property. Several plots of land in British Columbia. occupying most favourable sites at the mouths of rivers, the titles to which have been confirmed by her Majesty's Government; farms, building sites in Van couver's island; and in Canada, ten square miles at Lacloche, on Lake Huron, and tracts of land at fourteen other places. The trading operations of the Company are chiefly carried on in the fur bearing and northern portion of the territory, where the climate is too severe for European colonisation. These trading operations will be actively continued and, as far as possible, extended, whilst the management will be judiciously economised. Consistently with these objects, the outlying estates and valuable tarms will be realised where the land is not required for the use of the Company—the southern district will be opened to European colonisation, under a liberal and syste matic scheme of land settlement. Possessing a staff of factors and officers who are distributed in small centres of civilisation over the territory, the Company can, without creating new and costly establishments inaugurate the new policy of colo nisation, and at the same time dispose of mining grants. With the view of providing the means of te'egraphic and postal communication between Canada and British Columbia, across the Company's territory, and thereby of connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by an exclusively British route, negotiations have been rending for some time past be tween certain parties and her Majesty's Government and the representatives of the Government of Canada, and prelimi nary arrangements for the accomplishment of these objects have been made through her Majesty's Government (subject to the final sanction of the Colonies), based upon a five per cent. guarantee from the Government of Canada, British Columbia, and Vancouver Island. In further aid of these Im perial objects, her Majesty's Government have signified their intention to make grants of land to the extent of about 1,000,003 acres, in portions of the Crown territory traversed by the proposed telegraphic line. One of the first objects of the Company will be to examine the facilities and consider the best means for carrying out this most important work, and there can be little doubt that it wail be successfully executed either by the Hudson's Bay Company itself, or with their aid and sanction. For this, as well as for the other proposed objects, Mr. Ed ward Watkin, who is now in Canada, will be commissioned, with other gentlemen specially qualified for the duty, to visit the Red River and southern districts, to consult the Officers of the Company there, and to report as to the best and safest means of giving effect to the contemplated opera tions.

GENERAL MOURAVIEFF'S DECREE. BERLIN, July 1. The Nord Deutsche Allgemezne Zeitung of to-day publishes the following as the genuine text of the decree issued by General Mouravieff against the wearing of mourning by Polish women : s' Even before political troubles broke out in this country the larger portion of the female population of the town of Wilna had commenced to wear dif ferent kinds of mourning in order to signify their sympathy with the revolutionary movements in the kingdom of Poland. The mourning consisted of black dresses with or w i thout w hit e b or d ers, or black bonnets with w hit e f eathers , t oget h er w i t h certain tokens previously agreed upon, such as metal bracelets with the arms of Poland and of Li thuania combined, broken crosses with crowns of thorns, &c. These manifestations still continue in greater or less degree. As, however, all sympathy with the present insurrectionary movements, simi larly with rebellious acts, is forbidden by law, the General-Commanding in the country ordered the Governmental Chief upon the 12th of June (31st of May) to issue the following orders, in order to sup press the criminal manifestations : Very few particulars of indubitable authenticity have reached me as to the proceedings of General Mouravieff at Wilna, but quite enough to stamp him as one of the most savage monsters who have appeared in Europe since the days of the French Revolution. Of course this is not the Mouravieff who took Kars, or he would not have allowed Kmeti to escape, and would have murdered his prisoners. It is well known that the Mouravieffs in Russia are divided into the Mouravieffs who hang and the Mouravieffs who get hanged, and the bloodthirsty chief who is allowed by his " well-in tentioned" Emperor to rule at Wilna, and to execute without even the semblance of a ;trial men who have not so much as contravened 'ono law of the Russ:an Empire, is base enough to have boasted that he is not of the same breed as the unfortunate and noble-minded Mouravieff who suffered on the scaffold at St. Petersburg with Pestel, Ryleieff, and Bestoujeff, after the failure of the insurrection of 1825. The Polish newspapers agree in stating that Mouravieff has ordered all ladies who may transgress his regulations on the subject of mourning, national costume, &c., to be whipped, but whether he issued the command publicly, or made the threat privately, does not appear. It is certain that the relatives of Lithuanian gentlemen who have joined the insur rection fully believe that the mothers, sisters, or daughters of the latter are being detained as hos tages. I also know that until the news of Count Plater's execution arrived in Cracow several of his friends, who took the deepest interest in his fate, and imagined that he had already died of the wounds in flicted upon him by the Prussian peasants of Livonia, bad not heard of any accusation 'whatever being made against him. That he intended to join the insurrection no one will do him the injustice to doubt. That he had committed any illegal act up to the moment of his arrest has not, as far as I can learn, been ever. asserted. He was killed because he bore an illustrous name, and because the Russians know that whenever, there is a national movement in Poland some of the Platen are sure to be at the head of it. " I saw," says a correspondent of the Czar, writing from Dunaburg, "this young man of 26 walk with brow erect and with a smile on his lips to the place of execution. He did not fear his execu tioner, and after the sentence of death had been read to him he went down on his knees, prayed fer vently, embraced his confessor, and put on the con demned shirt himself. The soldiers then bandaged his eyes and marched him forwards. A report was heard, and the victim rendered his noble soul to his Creator. I withdrew in silence, and passing the pmybled, youngtheir and man. There I found all on ly Catholic church in the place, entered it to offer np a prayerhifsorfatmheiluy assembled, heart rending sobs told what a loss they had sustained. The mother alone was calm , and did her best to con sole her poor children. "Do not weep," she said; "you see that I am not weeping, but I should have shed bitter tears if he had trembled at the sentence of the Russian Government. I know that he did not, for I saw him before he left the prison, and prayed with him and for him." One word more as to General Mouravieff. When, about a year and a half ago, he was forced to resign his post as Minister of Domains—for which, as for ' ' 1.

Upon repetition of the offence such women are to be arrested, in order that they may be treated as persons who par ticipate in the insurrection. ARGYLL ROOM S.-JULLIEN'S PROMENADE CONCERTS.

The obvious object, no doubt, is to place the country under his complete control, and he has recently declared that he will by the Government to be " just the man for Poland," and the Polish papers even assert that he is soon to replace the too gentle Berg at Warsaw. General Berg, by the way, is said to be on the worst possible terms with the Marquis Wielopolski, and to have become at length fully persuaded that he is the chief director of the Polish National Government. I do not think I have mentioned that the Marquis's steward at Chroberz (in the King dom, near the Galician frontier) was compelled last month to pay 17,000 Polish florins (£425) as the 10 per cent. contribution from the estate to the ex penses of the war. The steward did not positively refuse to pay, but made excuses, saying that he had not enough money in the house, should like the collector to call again after the wool fair, and so on. Ultimately, however, the sum demanded was handed over. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail way Terminus at King's-cross.

STANFORD S. SMITH, Secretary. or instance, there is no bond of sympathy or cora- munity of interests. The dialect spoken by each differs so greatly as to afford scarcely any means of mutual comprehension ; and this assertion may be taken as a popular delusion which has been im- ported into the question with the view of enlisting the sympathies of those indiscriminate supporters The following official justification of the late transfer of money from the Exchequer of the Con gress-Kingdom to the treasury of the National Go vernment has just been published : " The object of the National Government is not only to employ all the resources of the country in the insurrection, but also to deprive the enemy of the means of repressing it, by keeping from him all means of continuing the war. The money of the country must be employed in working out its liberation ; accordingly, Stanislas Janowski and Stanislas Hebda have, on the order of the National Government, car ried over the sum of 24,012,992 Polish florins 'end 20 grossy (£600,000) from the treasury of the `Kingdom' to that of the National Government. The National Government, in making this fact public, declares that the officials Janowski and Hebda have rendered a service to their country, and that, by the order of the National Government, they have been sent abroad on a special mission." One of the two chief cashiers left a letter for the Marquis Wielopolski, saying that he had served the Government for 38 years, but that he could no longer bear to see the public money spent in paying spies and sbirri, and had therefore made over the sums intrusted to him to the Government recognised by the Polish nation. One might imagine from this letter that during the last 38 years, and until the present insurrection, such things as spies and sbirri had never been heard of in Poland. All the officials of the Treasury are said to have escaped except one, named Koltanowski, who, fail ing to get away, committed suicide, fearing (as the Gazeta Narodowa states) that he would be tortured, and in his agony might say something to compro mise his associates. Letters from Warsaw say that the rage of the Grand Duke on hearing of the transfer of the 24,000,000 Polish sixpences was unbounded, and the execution of Abicht, the official, and Konarski, the Capuchin monk, on the following day is said to have been one of its results. Konarski was formerly one of the chaplains of Langiewicz's army. He afterwards joined a small detachment, which soon after its formation was dispersed. He then attached himself to the corps commanded by Kona. wiez, and was taken prisoner when Konowicz him self was killed. It must be understood that Konarski was never a combatant, but occupied himself in the insurgent camp with tending the sick, and giving religious consolation to the dying. The (National) Governor of Warsaw has issued a proclamation in which he complains that some of the inhabitants have been base enough to pay their taxes to the Russian Government, and warns them against any repetition of the offence. It appears, too, that some of the contractors who have been in the habit of supplying the Russian army with corn have written to the National Government to ask permission to dispose of their present stock. The Government replies once for all that it has issued its orders, can make no exceptions, and will answer no more letters on the subject.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since he beginning of the year 1860, the Royai National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, cud other means, since its formation, is 12,800; tor' which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67,( 00 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-carriages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

In order to convince the world that a material and important improvement has been attained in this country in regard to its prosperity, and to show THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, (From the Times' Correspondent.) CONSTANTINOPE, June 25. .hat the various reforms which have been intro- diced from time to time have not been barren of which become manifest, on its perusal, to the most superficial observer. There is, undoubtedly, a grew An intelligent English officer, who for the last six months has devoted his time to the study of the Servian question, in connection with the difficulties which had arisen between the Porte and that de pendency, has just returned from that country, and the information which in that space of time he has acquired on the subject of the Servian Government and the Servian people affords an instructive lesson with reference to the irresponsible statements which go abroad, and which, for want of accurate know ledge on the subject, remain uncontradicted, and from the mere force of persistence and repetition gradually creep into our political creed as articles of faith. It is not likely that we shall see the end of the Servian question for some time. It is one which diplomacy will never settle, and which can only find a solution in an armed struggle, and this will eventually decide whether the Turks are able to maintain their present position in regard to their semi-dependent provinces, and to strengthen their hold on them by crushing the turbulent and ambi tious aspirations which are daily gaining ground ; or whether the elements of opposition, becoming too strong to be subdued, will open up a new phase in connection with the great Eastern question, by re ducing it to a trial of strength between the Suze rain Power and its vassal. For this reason it is not inopportune to avail oneself of the new lights which are brought to bear on Servian affairs by an eye witness who has had every opportunity of arriving at a correct estimate of the state of things in that province, and whose authority is the more trust worthy because it is not vitiated by any precon ceived ideas or prejudices, or any partiality on the one side or the other. It is represented by my in formant that the greatest difficulty which attended his investigation, and which it would seem is often experienced in Servia by any travellers whose state ments are likely to influence public opinion abroad, arose from the impediments which were constantly opposed by the official class against any indepen dent and free intercourse with the people them selves. So long therefore as his observations were made under the intimidating influence which the Court and Government exercise over the popula tion, he was met by a certain amount of unanimity in opinion hostile to the Turks. In time, however, his suspicions were aroused, and he determined to rid himself of the surveillance which dogged his movements, and to endeavour by constant and fami liar intercourse with the people themselves to ascer tain what their real feeling was. It was not with out much difficulty that he contrived from time to time to escape from the official restraint which was put upon him; and he declares that in excur sions in the very heart of the country, and in a close and minute survey of public opinion during his wanderings, extending from one extremity of Servia to the other, he found ) with very few excep tions, the whole population more opposed to the revolutionary and encroaching policy of the Go vernment than to the nominal protectorate of Tur key. Nor can this be wondered at when it is con sidered that Servia, although comparatively rich in the resources which nature affords, is poor as regards the development of those resources. When, out of a population of one million of inhabitants, not less than 105,000 men are employed in the service of the Militia, the consequences to the country as regards the interests of agriculture and industry must be disastrous ; and such it would seem is the real state of the case. Under the influence of the ambitious projects of the Prince the province has assumed lately all the terrors of a military despotism. The general expression of the people when they can give vent to their feelings unrestrained is to this effect:—`` Our independence is guaranteed by the protecting Powers ; the Turks do not interfere with us. We are in no fear of aggression from other quarters ; we require all our availablebands for the extension of agricultural pursuits, Why should we be forced into the adoption of a military system which is utterly incompatible with our require ments, and be ground down with intolerable bur dens in the interest of an ambitious policy, from which we can reap no advantage ?" With the critical eye of a military man nry in in formant watched the progress of the large 6 a o r ments which are made.

It is not unlikely that they may publish this statement in the form of a pamphlet, and if they do so it is to be hoped that, in their own in terest, they will carefully exclude exaggerations deal in it which is true, and which bears testimony :hat some improvement has taken place since the promulgation of the Hatti-Sherif of Gulhane,which is taken in this exposition as the point of departure, There are other points, however, which, although they are dealt with in a very plausible manner, do not bear the test of close investigation, and dimi nish, therefore, its weight and trustworthiness. As regards the commercial prosperity of the country, they have been obliged to obtain their materials from sources other than their own, for it will hardly be believed there is no means at present in their own departments, of obtaining statistical informa tion of any description. In dealing with the export and import trade they have to pass over the former, as it would have been next to impossible to arrive at any accurate calculation on the subject. In regard to the latter, they have evidently obtained their figures from English and French sources, as it is with those two countries that they deal in pointing to the gradual increase of trade ; and, so far, their statements may be taken as correct. It is thus that they show that the importations from England alone, which in 1831 stood only at £BBB,OOO, have gradually and in increasing proportion reached in the present day the considerable amount of £5,600,000 ; while those of France show for the corresponding period an increase from 16,700,000 f. to 91,800,000 f. They then point to the great augmentation of the public revenue in the same period, which it is unnecessary I should develop here, as I have pointed it out in other letters. They endeavour to establish a parallel between their own position and that of England and France, in regard to the gradual and necessary in crease of expenditure and the corresponding aug mentation of revenue ; and they draw an argument from this comparison favourable to the march of pro gress and improvement in their own country. They take credit to themselves for the abolition of ob noxious taxes ; such as, for instance, as the " haratch" or capitation tax, and for the reforms in regard to the better collection of the revenue, which have yielded such unexpected advantages. They dilate on the benefits resniting from the adoption of a free-trade policy ; aud, after entering into other details, too minute to be transcribed here, they point out triumphantly that there is no country in which the people are so little taxed. This may be true in theory, but is not borne out by practice ; for, although the amount of taxation is not very large, the irresponsible manner in which it is collected by rapacious administrators, and also by the farmers of the revenue (dinners), renders the system of taxation, as now practised, the most grinding and oppressive of the many abuses of which the provincial Governors are guilty. The weakest point in this paper, and one which the Turks had better have left alone, is the bold statement that there has been a considerable in crease in the population. Strictly speaking, this assertion is correct, but it is unwise that they should bring forward in vindication of themselves, an ar gument which is certainly a strong one against them. It is hardly necessary to say that, while the Christian population has increased, the Mussulman element has considerably diminished. It is need less to enter into the various causes which contri bute to this diminution, the principal one of which is to be found in the system of conscription. This gradual decline of the Turkish race is a question which the most sanguine partisans of Turkish rule cannot answer satisfactorily. In Committee of the Civil Service Estimates in the House of Commons a discussion arose on the Estimates for repairs and improvements of the Em bassy-houses at Constantinople, which afforded an instance of the irresponsible manner in which every thing regarding tjais country seems to be dealt with. One member boldly stated that Therapia being three miles from Pera there was no use in keeping up two houses so near each other. Lord Palmerston, with equal correctness, said that the distance was six miles, and that, as all Turkish Ministers go to Therapia in the summer, it is necessary that our Embassy should follow them there. Now, it so happens that Therapia is 12 miles from Pera, and that there is not one Turkish Minister residing there. Another member stated, from his own knowledge, that the Embassy in Pera commanded a view of the Sea of Marmora on one side and of the Black Sea on the other. It is generally known, but seems to have been forgotten on this occasion, that the two seas are separated by a channel 22 miles in length called the Bosphorus. The fact is that at the commencement of the hot season Pera becomes uninhabitable. Every one, therefore, who possesses £lOO or £2OO, or, not possessing it, is in a pos ition to borrow that sum, immediately invests it in rent ing a house on the cool shores of the Bosphorus. It would be unreasonable, therefore, that the Arobassa dorshould be an exception to this very general 1:2 and, although Turkish Ministers do not reside the Asiatic on w Therapia, they take up their residence in the rash; bouring villages, principally living on the Bosphorus in the sum , t discussion, and it is easier to keep up intercour:er it h h a t n h b em y r b e y .. to this comparatively unimportant maining in solitary state in a P E e i r t a w . h i ng re as i , h i :illustrative biting of the manner in which everyt It wa y be taken as the - with the maximum Eastern questiov, epitome of the f fact. country is diseu3sed. 0 of opinion and the minimum m i n n s f:rra Th s e Bazaar has been suggested, e w d, h i e t r i e s the bazaar are to be delliras: idea is not in possession of books may exchange them for s The expenses o otner • on all transact. s aid, by a percentage ::Asonji3::_e_l:a._?E;C7h://132egSfe 0 f to-day b u t properly worked out might a new 000, become a great nce to biblioposts and eo nvent• li e literary men, RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--.N Ewp „„, , uur, duty 3,—A frightful accident occurred to-da frig Y On the West Midl an d Railway, at Cwmbran, near Newport, carr iages of the down express ran The engine and off the rails from some unknown cause.

A communication was laid before the Court from Mr. Deputy Harrison, resigning his seat as a representative of the corpo ration at the Metropolitan Board of Works,for the reason that the part he had felt it to be his duty to take in opposing the construction by the corporation of the proposed new street from Blackfriars to the Mansion-house had subjected him to censure from some members of the Court.

At present, as for some time past, a fierce quarrel exists between the members of the corporation who are governors of the hospital on the one hand, and the donation governors on the other, as to the class to which the governing body at large shall elect their president, and the more interest attaches to the question from the belief that it affects all the Royal Hospitals of the city of London, richly en dowed as they are, and not that of St. Bartholomew alone. The custom has been to elect an alderman, and often the Lord Mayor for the time being, when a vacancy has occurred ; but to this there have been exceptions, as when a few years ago the Duke of Cambridge was chosen to be President of Christ's Hospital over the head of Alderman Sidney, the then chief magistrate of the city, and again quite recently, when the governors of St. Bartholomew elected Mr. Cubitt to be their chief, in his capacity of a do nation governor, and after he had ceased to be an aldermoaio. the i‘salird‘wNhi seodrtohmo The vacancy in the office of President of St. B veins mew's was created in rather a peculiar way. _ ho bad the first year of his mayoralty, Mn Cubit!, w or, was previously been, and still is, a donation golf: Go rge elected President on the death of AlderinoTtlice'' until a Carroll, and continued to beam the f t h e Court of Aldermen he voluntarily relinquished tia s .% by a majority short time ago.

MANCHESTER, July 3.—With improved telegrams from Calcutta, together with the dying away of the rumour of Lord Russell's resignation, and of all fears of foreign intervention, our market again as sumes its former aspect, and there has been a con siderable business done in yarns to-day; in some cases at a slight advance on Tuesday's prices. At the prices current on Tuesday a much larger busi ness could have been effected, but sellers have re gained confidence to some extent, and are demand ing previous rates. The buying has been nearly for all markets, including the home trade. The latest telegram to hand from Calcutta is dated June 8. It reports cotton dearer, and an improved business in cotton goods. Skirtings of Slb 4oz had advanced is per piece ; other kinds 6d to Oti per piece from the late lowest point. Bannermill 40's twist (American cotton) had risen Pi. per lb. At Bombay, June 9, cotton was rather lower, but pieca goods were improving in price. We have no im provement of demand for cloth in Manchester to day, but the better accounts from Calcutta are ex pected to lead to business. Prices are rather firmer than they were on Tuesday, but the demand, for all quarters, is really very flat. We hear of some offers making for certain descriptions of print ing cloths, but generally at prices which are not acceptable to producers. Small as the demand has been lately for all markets, except those of India and China, it has been pretty nearly equal to the demand, and hence there are few or no stocks. It is a feature of the market just now that nearly all the business doing is of a bona fide character, and for immediate export. Buyers would probably do more business if they could find stocks, but many manufacturers will not produce unless to order. At the same time, it must be remembered that, owing to so many mills being closed, some kinds of cloth, of peculiar and very superior makes, have ceased to be produced, and buyers are unable to meet with them at any price, which leads to much inconvenience and disap pointment. Some of these buyers will not enter into contract for the supply of these goods. They would take them if in stock and available for imme diate shipment, but they will undertake no risk, as a future supply would involve. Messrs, Da Fay and Co., in their monthly trade report of the Ist inst., say—" The continental yarn trade has for some time past been restricted to the smallest wants, bearing out what we previously remarked, that in many quarters coarse home-spun flax is used in stead of cotton. For the five months of the present year, compared with 1861 and 1862, the exports to Prussia, Hanover, Hanse Town, and Holland show the following decrease :—IHL 32,269,7871 b. ; 1862, 20,368,4921 b ; 1863, 8,362,9851 b ; being 58 per cent. less than 1862, and 'l4 per cent. less than 1861." The falling off in goods had not been quite so large, amounting in the five months named to about one half as compared with 1861, and about one-fourth as compared with 1862. LEEDS.—The trace report of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce for the month of July is as follows : "In the woollen trade an average amount of tusi ness has been done during the past month. The demand for plain fine black cloths still continues good, and a considerable quantity has been sold both for home trade and export. The demand for light sum mer goods has been very small, and the manufac turers are now employed in preparing for the autumn trade, and are generally well employed to a con siderable extent to order. Since the conclusion of the sales in London on the ad June there has been no new feature in the wool trade. Prices are steady, and the demand for all descrip tions moderate. . Con trary to the expectations g enerally entertained in this country, German wools have brought an ad vance of from 2 to 5 per cent. upon last year's e with great firmness, but no prices at the fairs recently held atßtairenslatuheair d rn Ber lin.

The demand for thread s is pretty good. The makers of best iron are no t so busy as last month, and orders are by n no means so plentif u l. Th e ma k ers o f best merchants' iron and plates are better em pl o y e d. The machi ne makers are pretty well supplied with orders. The engineer tool trade has improved and may be said to be tolerably good. Makers of rail way plant are very busy, I n cut nails, a large business is being done, especially for export. There has only been a limited demand for heavy leather, and prices have given somewhat way. In dressing goods a fair business has been done, and for some articles, as calf skins, the demand has been in ex cess of the supply. Prices are steady. Rapeseed and linseed are both very high relatively to the price of oils. The growing crop of German rape seed is well spoken of, and cutting menced in some districts. As usual at this season, the demand for rape oil has been small. Linseed oil is exceedingly scarce, and the price very firm, with an upward tendency, in consequence of the deficient crop in the Baltic provinces andelsewhere. Cakes are firm, but not much inquired for. Olive oil is very firm, and in fair demand. Prices on the other side have already advanced. The paper trade still continues depressed, chiefly on occount of the depressed consumption in the cotton districts: There has been a full supply of cattle, and prices have generally ruled high. Number shown (four markets) beasts, 1,802; sheep, 15,460. The supplies of corn have not been large, and prices of wheat have been very firm until the end of the month, when the very favourable weather induced buyers to act with great caution. The demand for barley has been quiet. Oats and beans without much change." NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—At this exchange•hall to day there was a better attendance of merch an ts and manufacturers, and the demand for lace yarns was improved at fully late prices. There i s also more doing in spun silks, and goo d prices are being m a d e. Hosiery yarns maintain their value. There is no quotable change in the pr ic e of brown nets, but the tendency is to give way.
