There is probably no great city in the United Kingdom which is so ill supplied with markets as London. It is all very well to point with sleek complacency to Billingsgate, Leadenhall, or Covent garden. The excellence of what is to be bought at these marts is not to be denied, but, on the other hand, also, it cannot be denied that their space is so inadequate to their traffic that on market days they are little less than public obstructions. Who that has ever had to catch an early southern or nor thern train through Covent-garden on a market day has not anathematized its very exis tence, even when he had contrived to drive through its block of waggons ? ASfor the Borough Market, it simply means closing the southern approach to London-bridge till nearly nine in the morning on market days. Yet these with other markets are all inadequate to their purpose, though the profits derived from their use are so large that the most exorbitant rentals are derived from the wholesale and retail dealers who use them. The public in these days of political economy are not weak enough to suppose that this heavy rent is not estimated in the prices which tradesmen charge ; or, to put it in plain English, it comes out of the consumers' own pockets. The want of markets has fostered this state of things to the utmost•. Of late years markets have actually diminished in number, though the population of the metropolis has continued to increase, and to this evil we must add that of the minor markets, the retail shops having been almost extirpated in districts by metropolitan railways and improvements. What is wanted is not one or two great centres, but mar kets of a moderate size dispersed over different quarters of the town. The beautiful new Smith field Market, when completed, will no doubt be a great boon, but a market in the City is not of much use to residents in the West, or even in the East of London. Markets should be established in the vicinity of the chief railway stations, and then the produce of the district through which the line passes might be offered to the public every morning, with the least possible expense of carriage and the least possible injury by packing and travelling. The want of proper markets in London has, in fact, ren dered due competition almost impracticable. This is an evil which, like that of growing old, gets worse every day, for the demand in London increases as the supply gets less, and the want of good general markets is now getting seriously felt. This is evi dently shown by the feet of three private indi viduals having combined of themselves to build the new King's-cross Market, which was yesterpy opened. Of course, at first, the great dealers were opposed to it, but the plan went on nevertheless, and now the names of the chief dealers of Newgate, Billingsgate, and Leadenhall are over some of the stalls. We confess to being in favour of markets managed by private individuals, provided they are not monopolies. If several markets compete, the price is sure not to range above the fair average, but where there is but one central establishment c mibivations for raising the cost of prov►sions are very easily effected. Any one, however, who visits the New Market at King's-cross, ant expeCtt to find a magnificcuit s:ructure like the Ildles of Paris, or the rn akt.ts of Vienna, or to find th; spires and stained glass, coloured marble, and rich carving which is decorat ing the great market Miss Coutts is building at Beth nal-green, will be much disappointed. There is nothing artistic about it. It is a large buildin g ,, which has been partly adapted and partly built, but has a plain work-a-day, practical air about it which is very reassuring. The new station of the Mid land Railway, which is nearly finished, is at one side of it, and the Great Northern Terminus at the other. These with the Underground Railway pla'e the market in direct communication with literally almost all parts of the kingdom. Of the architectural parts of the building itself there is little to say. It is plain, homely, and strong, and above all, thoroughly well adapted to its purpose. Its entrance is from the St. Pancras road, where there are shops now, but on which is hereafter to be built a market hotel, beneath the archways of which the public will pass into the market. This market occupies an acre aad a quar ter in extent, or about double the area of Billings gate. It is built in the plainest style, with a broad ridge and furrow roof, well lit, well sheltered, and amply ventilated. On one side is the block for the wholesale meat an I wholesale vegetable markets ; on the other side are the stalls for the wholesale and retail provision dealers of every kind, the fish shops, and the wholesale fish market. The centre space between these two is set apart as a general re tail market fur anything and everything. Each of the stalls or shops, if we may so call them, is open to the roof, and each is 14ft. wide by-10ft. deep. There are 86 of these, and all are let already. It will surprise no one to hear of this successful result to the enterprise so soon, when we state that the rent of each stall is only 14s. a week, without rates or taxes, or any extra charge whatever beyond that for the gas, which each individual stall-keeper con sumes. No rents or tolls of any kinds are exacted, and when we remember that a waggon standing for a few hours in Covent-garden would have to pay more tolls to the Duke of Bedford than one of the stalls in the New Market cost for a week, it is no wonder that they have all been let before the opening. The term " stalls," however, scarcely con veys an idea of these holdings. They are, in fact, each a little shop, which every holder is at liberty to decorate or fit up as he likes, and when he leaves it close it in with its wooden gates at night. After a certain time of night the whole market will be shut, and night watchmen left in the charge of the premises. Behind the fishmongers' shops are ice cellars, and above them are ranges of offices where those who choose may carry on their bookkeeping, or keep their clerks. The rate at which all these spaces are let is about one-tenth of the prices charged in the great markets of London, and not much more than a twentieth of what is often charged in Covent-garden. To sum up, there are conveniences for boiling shell-fish, which with all other fish pass the the market from the north on its way to Billingsgate ; there is au ample supply of water and plenty of shade and ventilation. The whole structure has cost £41,000, and is let already at annual rental of about £5,500. If this will not prove an encouragement to founders of public mar kets, it is hard to say what will. New markets used to be said proverbially to be dangerous experi ments, but with the growth of their want in Lon don it seems hard to see ho,v they can prove so now. At any rate, the new market at King's • cross has begun its career with every pros pect of success, and a twelvemonth or so will show how far the expectations have been rea lised. The ceremony of opening yesterday was very simple, but very significant of the useful ness of the new market. It consisted mainly of the public sale of a large parcel of fish, brought by the Great Northern Railway, at four o'clock in the afternoon, and which had been alive at Hull the same morning. These consignments, which were mostly of salmon, soles, &c., brought high prices, S and the bidding was rather more spirited than is icatio~, Atter ilk ould tion, to :ten the )ver the and on se.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE Admirals Sir A. Milne, Sir S. C. Dacres, and Sir John D. Hay, as representing the Beard of Lords of the Admiralty engaged in the annual inspection of the dockyards for the present year, landed at Portsmouth yard on Saturday morning, for their second day's inspection cf that establishment. Their Lordships were received by Admiral Super intendent G. G. Wellesley, C. 8., and Captain W. C hamberlain, commanding the steam reserve, and, accompanied by Mr. Martin, the storekeeper of the yard, attended by his subordninate officers, at once proceeded to the different stores in the yard. Mr. Mallalieu, the inspecting superintendent of the Metropolitan Division of Police in charge of the several dockyards and military stations, with Mr. Guy, the superintendent of the Portsmouth division of the same force : were also in attendance. Their Lordships commenced with_ an inspection of the " present use," "middle," and " south sea" store buildings, the three great stores of the yard, after wards going through the chain-cable store, sail loft, rigging loft, block, yarn, fvrniture, firehearth stores, &c., the whole occupying them until one p.n when they returned on board the Enchantress to luncheon. In the afternoon their lordships em barked in the Camel steamtug, and proceeding up the harbour made a full inspection of all the ships lying at moorings, and belonging to the Steam Re • serve. There are several of these vessels that can be sold when purchasers can be found fur them, or they can be broken up in the disengaged docks of the Government yards. Others are well worth roughly plating, and fitting each with a couple of turrets for coast defence, and there are a few which must necessarily be kept for hulks and other har bour purposes. The expense of maintaining the Steam Reserves has been much reduced during the past two years by the sale of a number of ships— and this visit of their lordships will, no doubt, lead to a still further reduction of the same ex pense by a careful weeding out of useless vsssels. On returning from their visit to the fleet in reserve their lordships landed at the dockyard, and went on board the new screw corvette Sirius, in the steam basin, and the Se rapis and the Crocodile, Indian relief troopships, in Nos. 7 and 11 docks. The foundry and other of the workshops in the yard were afterwards inspected, and the day's work was finished by Admirals Milne and Dacres, accompanied by Port-Admiral Sir 'Thomas Pasley, paying a Visit to the Lock-wards in the Geneial Hospital. In the evening the Lords gave the usual official Admiralty dinner to the Port Admiral, Admiral-Superintendent, captains of ships in com►nission in the port, heads of departments, &c., on board their yacht Enchantress. To-day the programme of their Lordships comprises an in spection of the Royal Marine Artilleryat Fort Cum berland and at Eastney, an inspection of the Royal Marine Light Infantry at Torton, ani an inspec tion of the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard at Gosport, the Royal Naval Hospital, and gunboat yard at Haslar. Tuesday wall be occupied with an inspection of the officers and men belonging to the Steam Reserve, ani a wind-up of matters generally lin the dockyard. Oa Wesiaesday morning at day lizfht their Lordships will le tve Portsnnuth in their yac*.t- Enchantress for,,Portlln I and t:lc Channel Fleet. A Itniral Sir F. Grey, General Collingwoo I Dick son, Mr. II awkihaw, 0.11., and other members of the committee appointed to inspect and report upon the present condition of the coast fortifications visited the stone foundations and basement walls for the m►rine farts at Spithead anl the coast de fensive works between the Neellqs and Iktnbridge, Isle of Wight. The mechanics at Chatham dockyard employed on the ironclad frigate Hercules ratline I work on board that vessel on Saturday, after an interval of two days, while the frigate was absent from the port for the purpose of undergoing her preliminary trials under steam. The Fox, screw-store-frigate, arrived at Ports mouth on Saturday, from Devouport, with seamen and marines on board from her Majesty's screw troopship Tamar, dismantled and paid out of com mission at Devonport. A court-martial assembled on Saturday, on board the flag-ship in llatnoaze, Captain G. J. Napier, of the Canopus, being president, for the purpose of trying John llarris, leading seaman of her Majesty's ship Revenge, but doing duty oa board her tender, the Hyena, for stabbing with a cutlass, on the 22d of July, Alfred Barker, corporal of marines. The court considered the chute partly proved, and sen tenced the prisoner to be reduced to the rank of able seaman, and to be imprisoned with hard labour for nine months. Sub-Lieutenant F. F. Liardet was, on SAturday, appointed to the Penelope.

DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED ARTlST.—Emanuel Leutze died in Washington on Saturday, the 18th ultimo, of congestion, caused by the heat.

He soon became a proficient in painting, and in 1841 entered the school at Dusseldorf, in the studio of Lessing. He subsequently studied in Munich, Vouic3, and Rome. In 1859 Mr. Leutze returned to the United States, after an absence of eighteen years, and took up his residence at Washington. Ho was engaged by Congress to execute paintings in fresco upon the panels of both Congressional Chambers throughout the Capitol generally.

Their action is alterative, anodyne, tonic, and healing. The Ointment has only to be perseveringly rubbed twice a day over any afflicted organ to penetrate to it, regulate, and soothe it. Its tonic properties are obtained through the wholesome influence it exerts when rubbed over the stomach and liver, on both of which it produces the hnKiest effects by making their secretions abundant aad natural. Holloway's purifying Pills should be simultaneously taken. The com bined action of these safe yet potent remedies over st9mach, liver, bowels, kidneys, muscles, and nerves is immediate, beneficial, and lasting. Holloway's preparations restore order, ease, strength, and happiness.

As respects schools for the children of the labouring poor, 783 schools were examined, being an increase of 200 on the numbers examined in 1867; 87,300 exercises, worked by 58,000 children, were examined, being an increase in the year of 17,300 exercises and 15,106 children. As respects schools of art and night classes, the number examined in 1868 was 204, being 38 more than in 1867; 8,500 students worked 16,700 exercises, an increase during the year of 1,700 students and 4,200 worked papers. 152 of these schools and classes sent up for examination 51,000 drawings, executed by 8;000 students in the ordinary course of the year's study —an increase of 21 schools, 19,000 works, and 1,500 students. In 1807, out of 44 candidates examined for the third grade, or art teacher's certif.cate, 15 were successful. In February 1808 62 candidates were examined, and 25 succeeded in passing the required examinations. Finally; the results shew a total increase in 12 months of 210 schools examined, 18,306 candidates, and 40,500 works and exercises. In 1867, the number of persons receiving instruction in drawing from teachers holding drawing certificates granted by the Science and Art Department was, in public and other schools 79,411; in provincial schools of art, 14,639 ; in metropolitan dis trict schools of art (including those in connection with the National Art Training School), 2,702 ; students in training for masters and national scholars at South Kensington, 44 ; schoolmasters and pupil teachers, 1,651 ; in night classes for instruction in drawing 2,553 ; in private schools, grammar schools, &0., 4,529; 105,529." THE 'WESLEYAN CONFERENCE AT LIVERPOOL. The sittings of the Wesleyan Conference at Liverpool were resumed on Saturday. After the devotional services, the vote of thanks to the Rev. W. Arthur, postponed on Friday, was very heartily accorded. It was moved by the Rev. John Farrar, seconded by the Rev. Dr. Waddy, and supported by the Rev. James Loutitt, that the cordial thanks of the Conference be given to the Rev. W. Arthur, M.A., for his able, practical, and affectionate charge delivered to the newly-ordained ministers at Pitt street Chapel. It was resolved that the Isle of Man cease to be a distinct district, and that it be added to the Liverpool district, The Rev. John Clulow, who for the past two years has, under the direction of the educational committee, acted in the capacity of Sunday school visitor; read a report of the investigations and labours in connec tion with his department. The following is an abstract of the report : Schools, 5,240 ; teachers, 102,718 ; scholars, 582,020 ; being an increase of 103 schools, 2,717 teachers, and 25,518 scholars during the year. The increase of scholars in the Edinburgh and Aberdeen district had been nearly 10 per cent. The report called for Connectional efforts to counteract the oppressive influence of clergymen in rural districts in opposition to the Wesleyan Sabbath Schools. In the neighbourhood of Goole a Church clergy. man had refused the advantages of the Church day school to Wesleyan Sunday scholars. In other cases, although they were admitted to the day schools, they were obliged to pay extra fees. The ages and proportions of the scholars are classified thus :—Under 7 years of age, 132,475 ; between the ages of 7 and 15, 351,729 ; above 15 years of age, 97,816. Light, airy, and comfortable rooms for schools or classes are among the prime necessities of Sunday Schools at the present time. Separate class-rooms for class teaching are much required for elder scholars, who cannot be so well instructed or so long retained as they ought to be if they are indiscriminately mixed with children and infants. There are 2,016 libraries connected with the Sabbath Schools, containing 500,892 volumes, having 85,134 readers. The total expenditure for the year had been £35,525. The cordial thanks of the Conference were tendered to the Rev. Mr. Clulow for his very valuable services. The address of the Canadian Conference was read and adopted. LORD NAPIER IN WALES. -- ~,. Lord Napier of Magdala arrived at Welshpool on Saturday, on his way to Powis Castle and Trelydan, where General Scott, his father-in-law, lives. At half past one o'clock the mayor and corporation assembled at the Town Hall, whence they formed in procession, in which they were joined by a considerable number of the inhabitants, and proceeded soon after two o'clock to the railway station to meet the train bringing the gallant general from London. The train ran into the station soon afterwards, and as Lord Napier stepped from the carriage the assembled spectators greeted him with cheers, while the mayor and corporation bade him welcome to the town in au address, to which be briefly replied. Salutes were simultaneously fired by a detachment of the Shrop shire Volunteer Artillery Corps. A guard of honour con sisting of members of the 2nd Montgomeryshire Volunteers presented arms, and afterwards escorted his lordship to the carriage of the Earl of Powis, whose guest the gallant general is to remain for some days to come. Having with his wife taken a seat in a carriage, a proces. sion was formed, and accompanied his lordship as far as the entrance to Powis Castle Park. Lord Napier was entertained at a grand banquet in the evening by the mayor, corporation, and inhabitants, at the Royal Oak Hotel. About 120 guests sat down, pre. sided over by Mr. E. T. D. Harrison, the mayor, the vice-chairs being filled by Mr. W. Withy, ex-mayor, and Alderman Bowen. Upon the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were duly honoured. " The health of Lord Napier and the gallant army who accompanied him in the Abyssinian campaign," was after wards drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord NAPIER, in reply, thanked the party for the corthat way in which the toast had been received, and went on to assure them that no army ever went forth more earnest and desirous to fulfil the commands of their country, and by the army he meant not only soldiers but sailors, the mercantile marine, and the gallant remnant of India, the whole force being animated with one spirit. The duty which they were required to perform was to release their countrymen from captivity, and to vindicate the honour of England at the least possible expense and suffering. The task was not an easy one. The boundary which separated the country they travelled through from that which adjoined it was a disturbed one—such a disturbed boundary as that which once divided England and Wales. His object was to effect no negotiation with Theodore, to meet all advances from Theodore with a simple demand of the prisoners. He should have received them, ' and then simply advanced and taken Theodore himself. He con sidered that the honour of England required that that man should come from his place, and no act had ever been authorised by him that could lead him to depart from that resolve. They had read the history of how the British army had advanced, how it had been attacked and the enemy defeated. The result of that defeat was the complete cowing of Theodore's army. His courage fell. He (Lord Napier) believed his nerves had been shaken by debauchery, that he had paroxysms of alternate fury and depression. It was while labour ing under this depression that he sent back the whole bf the prisoners except three or four. It had been said that Theodore had been deceived ; and he was glad to take that public opportunity of saying that nothing had been authorised by him which could have led him to the belief that ho would accept one jot less than the terms of his just demand. (Cheers.) The first person who was sent to him by Theodore was Lieutenant Prideaux. Theo dore said : " Yesterday I thought myself the strongest man in the world : to-day I know that there are stronger than I, and I want peace." He (Lord Napier) wrote to him that if he gave up all the prisoners he and his family would be honourably treated. Ho wished to say nothing that would exasperate him or make him desperate; but, on the other hand, he did not wish tolead him to believe that lie would take less than lie haddemanded. Onhisleturn Lieutenant Prideaux met the greater part of the prisoners released, and lie returned with them, and the same night all the prisoners for whom they were officially responsible were in the English camp. Lieutenant Prideaux had acted most gallantly in the affair. Whatever Theodore might have conceived, or his servants might have per suaded him, it was perfectly clear that the British general could not authorise anything but the original terms which he had put forth. Theodore could not believe that we should shew mercy, as he had never ahewn it himself. The Abyssinian prisoners, when they were taken wounded to the hospital, finding we were not going to slaughter them, looked upon our acts as the generosity of angels. They could not believe it, and such was the feeling in Theodore's mind, that mercy was impossible. He attempted to escape, but the surrounding hills were filled with his enemies, and ho returned and died by his own hand. His lordship explained why he destroyed Magdala—to make it harm less, as the only chief who was likely to hold it declined to have it ; and said he protected with his army the inhabi tants until they had .arrived at a safer territory. H o mentioned several instances of gallantry and kindness on the part of the soldiers towards the natives, and concluded with some general remarks.
