The supply of wheat on sale here to-day was vary mo derate, but the condition of the produce was extremely fine. Millers, however, purchased with extreme caution, and the trade consequently was very slow. The small amount of business transacted was at about last Monday's prices. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands. In most descriptions sales progressed slowly at previous quotations. With barley the market was very moderately supplied. The trade for malting produce was very firm, and English samples realised as much as 53s per qr. Grinding and distilling barley sold at fully late rates. For malt there was a good demand, and prices ruled firm. Maize was very firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Oats, the supply of which was very moderate, sold readily at au improvement in price of 6d. to ls. per quarter. Beans were in short supply, and last Monday's were fully supported Peas were firm iu price, and all qualities commanded a steady sale. The market was very moderately supplied. The flour trade was very quiet, at the quotations of Monday last. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. We have a large number of beasts on offer, and trade is very dull ; choicest kinds are, however. by no means plentiful, and make fully late rates. A considerable number of inferior qualities remain unsold. The supply of sheep is about the same as on Monday last, but the de mand is smaller. Prices on the average are lower. Calves are lower. Our foreign supply consists of 3,381 beasts, and 75 calves. From Scotland there are 35 beasts ; Ire land, 414 ; Norfolk, 10 ; and 2,180 from the Midland and home counties. BOROUGII. 110 P. Messrs.

MIL GLAD STONE AND MR. DARCY It I RE. The great authorities which Mr. Gladstone set rip on the subject of American Fenianism were Messrs. Maguire and Darcy M'Gce. To the former he appealed in proof of the fact that Fenianism existed amongst the respectable classes in America ; to the latter, as a proof that Fenianism in more favourable soil became eradicated and gave place to loyalty. Mr. M'Gee's opinion of Mr. Maguire's work, there fore, is worth noting. Writing to a friend, he gives its writer all credit for industry . and arrangement. But he adds :" He certainly makes one 'huge mistake' in saying that the respectable Catholic Irish in the States are Fenians. I venture to say that, of the hundred and odd who received him hospitably, from our line to New Orleans, not three per cent., if even one per cent., were pro-Fenian. The organ of the educated Catholics of New York— the Catholic World—hi its last number officially con tradicted this mistake' of Mr. Maguire. For the rest, Mr. Maguire's fault is that he ' lays it on a little too thick . .' Instead of being member for Cork, ho ought to be member for Blarney." a A ILWAYS—PREFER h:NCE SHARES AND STOCKS. st Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 85 87 87 st Caledonian Qrs., No. 2 10 st Do. Scot.

MIL MILL'S LETTER TO Ii.ILMARNOCS. Mr. Mill's letter to Kilmarnock, suggesting that Mr. Chadwick should, in place of Mr. Bouverie, be returned by the Liberals to Parliament, is doing the political economist harm at Westminster. "A. Bewildered ;Liberal Elector," who "utterly abomi nates" Mr. Disraeli's - policy, and who, therefore, would not think of voting for Mr. Smith, writes to the Times asking whether he should vote for Mr. Mill, seeing that that g6.tleman is doing what he can to divide the Liberal party against itself. Mr. Mill certainly has himself to thank .for this. His indiscretion shews one cannot help thinking, a want of knowledge of the Ways of the world. It is as if continual communings with himself had led him to forget to study his fellows; and thus, wherever he comes forward to lead, he finds himself scouted. POST HOC ? A.UT PROPTEH HOC ? A correspondent of the Standard lately suggested that Sir Roundell Palmer (who has sacrificed the ell but certainty of the woolsack for conscientious reasons) differed frOm his colleagues on the Irish Church because he " had an eye " to the retirement of Sir William Ileatheote . from the representation of Oxford. The correspondent of another paper has suggested that Canon Miller has come forward to denounce the Irish Church Establishment because he hopes to get, a bishopric from Mr. Gladstone. What do these critics say to the appearance of Dean Mansel On Mr. Mowbray's election committee ? Will they tell - us if the presence of the new dignitary there is the result, or the cause of his promotion ; is an acknowledgment of past favours, or a lively sense of favours to come ? Far be it from us to say that Dean Hansel has been influenced by either motive. We believe that it is quite possible for a man to be an honest Conservative and to use all his influence in support of Conservatism without hope of personal reward. We put the above question simply to warn partisans that with what measure they mete it will be mea sured to them again—that if they accuse a man who has Made an heroic sacrifice for the sake of his con victions of being influenced by unworthy motives, men on their side who have made no such sacrifice, who have gained considerable benefit from their political profession; will be also and still more open to the sneer of the cynic. UNDUE INFLUENCE. Ilre are having quite a flood of charges of "undue influence" against landlords ; and, what is more, landlords have begun to recognise that they may no longer "put the screw" on their tenants. The Marquis of Bute was first brought to the bar, and gave an emphatic " Not guilty." Then there were a number of the employers and others, who got out of the scrape as best they could. Now the Duke of Marlborough and the Earl of Lichfield have been interrogated. The former writes, giving " the most emphatic and unequivocal denial " to the charges reiterated against him of intention to intimi date or coerce the votes of his tenants. Major Anson explains that the evictions, &c., which Lord Lichfield has made are likely to tell against him at the elec tions. Though the Major asked him to postpone them, he refused to do so. ELECTION HUMOURS. The forthcoming elections promise to exhibit as many forms of eccentricity as those of former days, when the candidates made the kissing of babies and . the purchase of tom-cats at an outrageous price parts of their programme. Windsor deserves a notice for one election vagary. Colonel Richardson Gardner having heard that Mr. Eykyn's friends had offered " braggart wagers " upon his success, writes. to Mr. Eykyn to offer a bet of £5OO upon the the result of the approaching contest. Mr. Eykyn declines to back himself thits heavily, but it does not follow that he is not confident. The electors of Bridgnorth are especially fatchired. Mr. Whitmore, the Conservative candidate, is reported to have sent his photograph to every elector in the borough. He has dcubtlesss secured the photographic interest, and probably that of the ladies also. Mr. Smith, the Conservative candidate for Westminster, posts the walls thereof with large placards containing the names of every member of his committee. These appear to be read with great interest by the idle, and an obstruction of the thoroughfares is the result. If Mr. Bennett could be charged with obstructing the highway by his curious clocks, why not Mr. Smith for causing the same through his heavy literature ? Perhaps Mr. Young, the Liberal candidate for Cambridgeshire, has done the strangest thing. He charged the Conservative committee with having published a sham, by advertising as members of the committee several electors who had promised to support him. When called upon to name them ; he did so, and they one and all gave the most unquali fied denial to his statement. SHEFFIELD POLITICS. The names of Roebuck and Mundella appeal'. s o frequently in the Sheffield newspapers that the effect is rather dazzling. There will be no peace for the town till after the general election. The meetings held there are riots, and general politics are merged in trades-union feeling. The editor of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph has discovered that forged tickets are being printed, and thus the roughs get at Mr. Roebuck. Although that gentleman protests that it is too bad of the electors to bully an old man 2 he must heartily enjoy the fighti ng so congen i a l to his spirit. AN El-INFIDEL LECTURER. Among those who have come forward to defend the Irish Church is the notorious ex-infidel, Joseph Barker, who is announced to deliver a lecture on this subject at Preston this (Tuesday) evening. The discourse is under the sanction of the Conservative committee, and the Preston Guardian takes the opportunity of republishing some " pearls at random strung " from the writings of Barker. The opinions are compiled chiefly from his " Reformers' Companion to the Almanacs," and "The People: their Rights and Liberties, their Duties and their Interest." Thefollowing extract will be sufficient to shew the tone in which he formerly held ". the sacred union of Church and State :"—" Leave the ungodly and plundering Church to itself, until it be abolished. Let me be buried in unconsecrated ground, and let no priest come near me at my burial. Away with the hypocrites. The world has been pestered with them too long. I would have no communion with them either while I live or when I die." '‘it must be confessed that Barker the believer. is not so bad as Barkrn +he infidel. TEE, VEXED QUESTION. Correspondents of the Mid' encouraged by the " no-policy " of the Premier, still seem to have an idea that something may be done to save the funds of the Irish Church, in , the way of levelling up. " Anglican " and" Pro Lege " have found admirers and now an Irish "D.L." comes forward to "strengthet their hands." He endeavours to do so by extracting from a charge to his clergy by Dr. Moriarty, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Kerry, delivered last year. Dr. Moriarty declares in this cinotation that as a matter of political expediency mere voluntaryism would be the right thing for Ireland. But " such an arrangement would supply a precedent and sanction for unjust and sacrilegious spoliation." "There is not one man in the British Legislature, no matter to what party he belongs, or how small his intelligence, who must not see that it is manifestly unjust to hand over to a small section of the comnmnity those revenues whiphwere set apart to supply the wants of the nation.' But this objection would not be tenable were the money paid into the Imperial treasury and disbursed without favour to the different bodies. At the same time the doctor would have the clergy dependent on the people for food and raiment. He would raise the Roman Catholic Church " to a social and legal level'' with the Protestant, and give to it, moreover, a higher tone, by leaving its clergy unenclowed. The " Irish D. L," thinks this clearly hew that the Roman Catholics would not reject endowment. NORWICH BARONETS. The Star contains a letter from Mr. Darby Griffith to answer the complaint of the venerable Tory, Sii Samuel Bignold, that he (Mr. Griffith) had made the statement about the bribe of a baronetcy. The #ale was that Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, late M.P. for Thetford, bad promised to titand for Norwich if the Premier made him a baronet. Mr. Griffith, in his letter, says that he did not originate the statement, but merely called for an. " authoritative elucidation" of it. Sir Samuel had denied the truth of it, and now Mr. Harvey does the same, stating that he has declined standing for Norwich,. as for other places, on account of ill health. Norwich is supposed to have a suspicious weakness for honours. Its one baronet is Lord Leicester's legal agent, Sir William Foster ; and its one knight is Sir Samuel Bignold, the secre tary to an insurance company. It has often been said that the wealthy Mr. Harvey would like a handle to his name, but if he and the Premier had a con spiracy Pn haAd they would hardly have made contaerinal comrnunicatlon to the Star, and Mr. C4riiiith - might have saved himself- trouble had he. thought of this. INSUBORDINATION. A correspondent of the Til;:c3 draws attention t) a letter written by Dr. Hampden, I.lte Bishop of Hereford, Supposed to be the model of Trollope's Bishop Preudie, to the late ..kretlibishop Whately, of Du'Ain. This letter was written in the year 183 G. f:nd in it Pr. Hampden notices the ar ro gan ce o f the party which objected to his appointment to the Regius Professorship of Divinity. He says . : " They exhibit themselves before the public as the living representatives of their own extravagant and false theory of traditions. They expect to be listened to accordingly as sacred oracles, as carrying weight in their ministerial capacity, holding them selves as the proper maintainers of the Divine apos tolical tradition, the true inheritors of What Kehl° calls 'the episcopal grace.' They feel themselves far above the condition of mere teachers and persuaders of men. The various manifestoes and papers which they. haVe published will stand as singular monuments of this overbearing, anti-Christian spirit, as I should call it." Ile considers it no wonder that they should be despisers of all authority, professinc , the highest reverence of Church authority in the abstract, but treating with disrespect any existing authority, or any actual minister of religion not of their party. The Times contains a letter from another correspondent, who lays the responsibility . of Ritualism upon the bishops at Lambeth Con ference, because they held out their hands to the Eastern Churches. " Why should the old/us of the Blessed Virgin," he asks, " be correct at Constan tinople and heretical in the New-cut ?" It• is hardly necessary to point - out that Constantinople owes no allegiance to Lambeth Palace, and that the bishops may desire communion with a Church holding errors, when they would wish to keep those errors out of OUT own. THE CROYDON MONUMENTS. Mr. George Gilbert Scott has received a letter from a rural dean in the diocese of Canterbury, con taining some suggestions as to the preservation of the monuments in Croydon Church. He makes the following suggestions :—That. the Croydon Church Fund consent to include the expense of making good Wareham's monument, which has suffered less than the others ; that the University . of Oxford should be appealed to for the cost of Archbishop Sheldon's effigies ; that the contributions of the public at large should effect Archbishop Whitgift's restoration; and ; lastly, he would reserve to the clergy of the province the honour of raising £635, the amount necessary to replace Archbishop Grindal's. lie offers £5 for his own share. Mr. Scott forwards the letter to the Times, stating that it is - written by one of the leading and most respected incumbents in the diocese of Canterbury. A PROMISING SPECULATION. A novel prospectus of a new daily paper, which is proposed to be started next month, has just been published. The proposed undertaking will (we are told) be "a fearless critic of men and passing events," and " a journal tied to the chariot wheels of no party." It will contain " a speciality of intelligence of universal interest to the million, and of national importance." A new feature is to be introduced in the leading articles, which will appear under the signatures of the writers. Ili order to carry out this enterprise, "writers of ability," possessing £l,OOO each, are invited to complete the remaining number of deben ture-holders. The debentures bear a fixed rate of £t2GO per annum interest, forming a a - ortgage charge upon the plant and copyright. The intended title of the new Riper is not given. PARISH NURSERIES. Some time back the question was started, whether day nurseries could not be organised, at which working women could leave their younger children while they went out to work. After a great deal of talk, several numerics were organised in the metropolis and some other large towns. We believe that they have been eminently successful, and that they are appreciated by those for whom they are intended. There are, however, very few comparatively. To be of universal benefit they must be established in every district. A suggestion now made for the first time deserves attention. It is proposed that the children of very poor and hard working parents should find a home during the day, be nursed, taught, and fed at the. cost of the parish. Such a system would be open to gross abuse if it were not well organised. The question is, whether it could not be so organised as to prevent the children of well-to-do parents being taken care of, or beinr "left until called for." A TRIPLE SUICIDE. Three girls, said to be domestic servants, were seen a clay or two ago sitting together in the street and drinking out of a bottle. The next morning the keeper of the 4cton Lock, on the Regent's Canal, Dalston, heard screams from the.igater. Drags were procured, and the bodies of these three girls taken from the canal. Some ene is reported to have heard them threaten suicide, and it is stated that one of them said, before jumping into the canal, " There are some papers in my bosom, and some handkel chiefs ; that, will be sufficient." One of them also gave a portrait of herself to her sister, telling her to " give it to her father.; he would know where she was." It is to be hoped that this mysterious and dreadful affair may have some light thrown upon it at the inquest. The girls were supposed to be under 18 years of age, and their appearance was not that of abandoned women. Their tragical end may be only the result of a craze, caused by a surfeit of trashy reading. It may be the result of domestic unhappiness, or even cruelty ; but it is sad to think that the real cause may be only known to those who have the best reason to conceal it, and that this, like many other such tragedies, must remain a mystery till the time when all secrets shall be revealed, FOREIGN NOTES. AMERICA. English elections, though not deficient in excitement, compare but tamely with the American contests, and sink into complete insignificance by the side of the struggle in Pennsylvania. The party that expects to elect its Presi. dent must carry this State, and the strength and the influence of every kind which each possesses is in this instance concentrated to the utmost. The leading Repub licans and Ilemocrats from all parts of the country—Blair, Pendleton, Sickles, Wilson, Sherman, Burnside, and others—come to lend their aid to their respective sides. A dozen "mass meetings" are held nightly. Processions, fireworks, fights, and uproars prevail the whole time. The excitement, says the Times correspon dent, is swollen as each day passes. The contest also increases in bitterness, and outbreaks constantly occur. Firearms are generally carried, and the moment a fight begins anywhere, fifty pistols are drawn. The processions are stoned, the houses of the prominent men are smeared with mud, and the portraits of the, two Presidential can didates, which are everywhere posted, are treated with no greater respect. Out of the 120,000 voters in Pennsyl vania, about one-fourth, during the contest just termi nated, gave the whole of their time to their party. This, be it said, " they do without the hope of gain, their reward being the victory they expect to win." The con• test decides the destiny of the American nation for four years, and is bitter and earnest in proportion to its importance. Everybody votes. In Pennsylvania every white male citizen over 2l years of age may be qualified by the pay ment, once in two years, of a tax equal to about nine pence, and a residence stipulation which is satisfied by sleeping in any one house for ten days previous to an elec tion. Foreigners who have resided five years in America can vote by becoming naturalised, and as the political committees are always ready to pay expenses, the suffrage is almost universal. Each side liberally avails itself of cheating. It is suppose.) that in a keen contest ten per cent. of illegal votes at e polled. Citizens under age and foreigners who have not been naturalised are brought to the ballot. Squads of men go from one division to another, voting twice of oftener. Districts which are doubtful are " colonised" by locating a set of voters to secure a majority. There are strict laws against these frauds, but neither party can claim purity over the other. In the meanwhile the ballot seems powerless to secure either secresy, honesty, or quiet. Foreign Mail Packet List.
