The Medical Officer of Health reported that the deaths in the borough, for the week ending Saturday last, were 257, being 40 fewer than in the previous week, and ten less than the corrected average of the same week of the preceding ten years. Bet if the year 1847 be omitted from the estimate, (in the corresponding week of which the deaths were 578), the mortality of last week beceenes 23 more than the average. Of the 257 deaths, 160 were in the parish, and 97 in the out-townships. From Zyrnotic diseases the mortality was lower than in any week of tee preceding ire months, the deaths being 59, of which there were from scarlatina 23 (showing a pro gressive decline) ; hooping cough, 8; typhus, 8 (both of these being less than in any week of the previous three months) ; diarrhoea, 6 ; small pox, 4 ; measles, 1 ; chicken pox, 1; and mumps, 1. '1 he mortality from diseases of the chest, with c .nsumption, still continues high, the deaths having been 114, or 24 more than the corrected average. One death was registered from gout. The temperature was high throughout the week, the mean being 49 degrees, while the average of the tame week of the eleven preceding rare was only 434 degrees. Very light rain fell daring the week. The Borough Engineer, the Building Surveyor, and Iflspector of Nuisances reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 199 nuisances complained of by inhabitants had been inspectee, and means taken to remedy them; and 1,206 houses in the unhealthiest dis trict!, containing 3,880 apartments and 712 cellars, had been put under e.larasination, with the view of improvinz their sanitary condition. A letter was read complaining of the state of 'llount Vernon-road. M. Sheil observed that the work now asked to be clone to this street would have Lem dons long since but for want of money. (Hear, hear.) The committee were not only willing, but were anxiously desirous of making every street in the torn and out-townships as good as it could be made, but to do so would require money, and that could he procured only by levying high rates, which all cuffed out against. (Sear, hear.) He saw a complaint in the newspapers as to the state of Brunswick-road, which, by the-bye, was as good an example as could be cited of the expense of the Machdana pavement, but there also the same answer applied—want of money. (Hear, hear.) PEMBROIZE-PLACE PAVER NT. The following letter relative to this subject was read : TO THE HEALTH COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL OF LIVERPOOL Gentlemen,—l have not, until this evening, looked over the report of proceedings at the Council of Wednesday, the 2nd inst., and may be too late, for any practical purpose, with the few observations which I am about to take the liberty of submitting to your committee. Tne subject is, "The proposed Macadamising of a portion of Pembroke place." For the accomplishment of this object you have, it appears, received a memorial, purporting to be signed by 69 persons, the first uarue being that of " Mr. Richardson" —a gentleman whom, or whose residence in the street, I have not the plecsure of knowing, although I have been accustomed, during the, past twenty-two years, to pass daily up and dawn Pembroke-place—not quite inattentive to the things around me. And passing thus, and observing, as I have done, the condition and the treatment of the road of Pembroke-place, I deem it something of a duty, en my part, to state to yoer committee what have been my impressions on the subject. The road of this place, five or six years ago, was, and for years had been, Macadamised. During the sixteen years which I had noticed it in that state, although no more interested in the expense than any other ratepayer, I could not, without serious dissatisfaction, see the employ men't about every two months, as I thought, of a band of men, together wiih materials, to dig op and repair the ruts and hollows which, in wet weather, served for puddle-holes or lakes; while, in dry weather, the ground and powdered stone proved no small annoyance to passengers—awl must have proved a yet greater evil, as I presume, to the immediate residents. There ire, then, I presume, two distinct objections to a re- Macadamising of this road. First, the great additional expense, which, I doubt not, a reference to your accounts for the last ten or twelve years will amply prove ; and, second, the annoyance, of which I have spoken. To the members in the Council who have taken rp the case of the memorialists, I would say—Look at the road in question now, and inquire of some of. the long-settled '"""'" ~ 1 - i it was before the pavement-with square sets. Ask Mr. &aye, and his .eiglitwur, Wilson, and Mr. Byford, and Mr. Kaye, surgeon. I know nothing of the opinions or wishes of any of Ilase gentlemen, but they are some of the longest residents. If they have signed the memorial, it msy be well to pay favourable attenrion tl it. But it has been suggested that the noise of vehicics over the square sets must be hurtful to the church, and the small Lying in Hospital. Gentlemen who offer this as a reason cannot be aware that there is a solid and smooth road opp,sito those buildings ; nor can the gentlemen who think that scpare sets are out of place as a pavement for Pamb:oke-place, be aware of the traffic passing on that road. Besides numerous omnibrissez , , carts, and wsggans heavily laden with stone for building, road making up the country, and numerous ether heavy loads to and from the extensive rope and cable makers, there are enormous boilers and machinery taken up this road, both for use and for conveyance, to the railroad, Crown-street. Apologising for this intrusion on your tine and attention,—l remain, gentlemen, yours most obediently, THOMAS SMITK. To the Health Committee of the Council of Liverpool. 43, West Derby-street, Dee. 10th, 1357. This concluded the business. TOXTETH PARK BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The weekly meeting of this Board was held yesterday evening, at the Board-room, P,;rk.place, Mr. florsfall in the chair. The following guardians • ware present : Messrs. W. B. Jones, C. Batten, Alpus, Robinson, Harrison, Mcreer, Wilson, Siddeley, Millar, Grindrod, Ogden, Briscoe, and Leyland. Mr. GougL'e return from the West Derby Workhouse showed that there were 396 paupers chargeable to the parish in the house last week. This week the Dumber was 406. In hospital this week, chargeable to the parish, 35. The Cle►k lead the following letter, addreased to Mr. Gregson, regard ng the new workhouse : Poor Law B. , nrd, Whitehall, 10th Dec., 1857. Sir,—l am directed by the Poor Law Board to acknow ledge the r, ceipt of yours of the 3rd inst., of a memorial and its enclosure, sigeed by you as chairman of a meting of the townsldp at Toxteth Park, held on the 19th ult., respecting the contemplated new Workhouse of the town ship. I am directed to inform you, that after careful consideration of the statements set forth in that memorial, the Board have arrived at the conclusion, that there are sot sufficient grounds to justify them, in interfering with the decision of the guardians, as to the extent of the Workhouse accommodation, which should be provided for so populous and increasing a district as that of Torteth Park. (Signed) COURTNEY, Secretary. To M. Gregsou, Chairman, A letter was reed from the Poor Law Board, approving of the appointment of medical and relieving officers. CO tie „,.011.1 in) atlttiOlT.

Pollett was pnintsman at the Gledholt coal sidings, and having turned the points for a coal train to leave the siding, he followed the train, and attempted to get on the engine. In doing this his foot slipped, he fell on the line, and the wheels of the tender went over his right arm and right leg. He was conveyed to the Huddersfield Infirmary, where both his arm and his lag were amputated. Pollett had been pointsman at the Gledholt siding between two and three years. DOCK COMMITTEE. The weekly meeting of this Committee was held at one o'clock yesterday—Mr. Charles Turner presided, and the other members present were Messrs. Rankin, Robinson, Brocklebank, Evans, Gladstone. Barber, Holden, Mondell, Anderson, Rlunt hwaite, Clint, Hubback, Bold, and Halhea I . The tender of Messrs. Jones and Jump was accepted for constructing a double office for the use of the Customs, on the quay of the Brunswick Dock. The Warehouse Sub-committee produced returns of the landing of the wool cargoes of the several ships referred to in the correspondence between Mr. Harold Littledale, and the Town-clerk. The Chairman said the returns appear to be pretty fall— they were returns of the wool landed each day, and the dates of the delivery orders received from the parties to whom it belonged, He suggested that the subject should stand over until next week, in order that the members might compare and consfler the returns. The suggestion was agreed to. It was agreed that the sum of .ElO instead of £l5 should be charged to Mr. J. Curfey, pie--master of the Clarence Basin, for the rent of his residence. The Chairtnan reminded the Board of several applica tions which had been - received at the last two meetings, from officers, for increase of salary. Those applications had been referred to. and considered by, the Finance Com mittee, and the result would be now stated : Mr. Rankin stated on the part of the Finance Com mittee, that they had considered the letters, but taking into account that their functions wonld so soon cease, and that the new;Board would probably take into consideration the whole of the salaries, they thought it desirable not to make any recommendation to the Committee at present. Applications were read from James Love and Richard Whitford, warebouse-keepers of the Stanley warehouse, for increase of salary, in consequence of their being longer employed than other warehouse-keepers under the Com• mitten. The Committee declined entertaining the appli cations. A letter was read from the Collector and Inspector of her Majesty's Customs, stating that since the reduction of the duty upon corn to a nominal import of one shilling the quarter, the business of assessing the quantity entered was entrusted to the occasional inspection of the officers of the Waterguard ; but it had transpired that the accounts were very incorrect and unsatisfactory, as regarded the interests of the shipowner, the honest trader, and the revenue of the docks as well as of the crown. In the port of Hull, and other ports, where there was a large importation of grain, there were what were called sworn meters appointed by the authorities, to measure all corn imported, and on their returns the duty was paid as well as the freight; but in Liverpool, where the importation was probably larger than anywhere else, there appeared to be no constituted party to take any account of the grain, and the master porters' considered it no part of their duty. The writer, there fore, urged upon the Board the necessity of haying some reliable authorities appointed. Mr Hubback said, he believed a good deal of irregularity took place in the measurement of grain, but whether it would be the duty of that Board to appoint sworn meters, he was not prepared to say. It appeared to him, that if the shilling duty was paid to the revenue, it should be the duty of the revenue to see that their work was done properly. It was a subject which he thought the master porters' committee might well take into consideration. He thought it all bore upon the question to which, as the Board was aware, he had paid a good deal of attention, the desirability of appointing traffic managers. That subject reminded him, also, of the position in which the report upon dock fines at present stood. They would all probably recollect, that in consequence of his absence, owing to a domestic calamity, when the report was brought up there it was introduced by Mr. Rathbone. Some exception was taken to the report, and it was referred to the Solicitor, with the view that he should prepare clauses embodying the recommendations. These clauses, as they were aware, had not yet been prepare 1, and the report had not been adopted. He, therefore, took that opportunity of stating that next week he would move the adoption of the report, seeing that it was very desirable it should be upon the books, and that the new Hoard, when consti tuted, should take the question up, as he was more and more convinced, by what was going forward, of the desirability that there should be some controlling power over the master-porters, as to the mode in which the cargoes were landed upon the quays; and that controlling power, it seemed to be the opinion of the committee, might be invested in the traffic managers. He, therefore, gave notice, that next week he would move the adoption of the report. Mr. Gladstone suggested that Mr. Hubback should attend the Master-porters' Committee, and assist them with any suggestions he could offer. Mr. Hubback undertook to do so, adding that he should be very sorry, seeing how many of the master-porters of Liverpool o,,,teA, that they should have the power of measuring the grain, witisees some better officers than appeared at present to be upon the dock quays. Mr. Brocklebank : Do you flud discrepancies irequeudy occurring between the quantity invoiced and the quantity discharged ? Mr. Hubback : Very great, indeed. I had a cargo the other day discharged from Marseilles, the difference between the invoiced quantity and the quantity landed was 200 quarters in a cargo of 1,800. Mr. Mondell said the inference might be that the invoice was a faulty one. The subject was then referred to the Master Porters' Committee. A letter from Messrs. D. and J. M•Donald, complaining of overchage in the Albert Dock, was referred to the Albert Dock Committee. The Chairman stated that he had received a note from the Recorder as follows :—" Sir,—l have the honour to transmit a minute of the Conservancy Commissioners, directing the manner in which the election of the elective members of the Mersay Conservanci, Docks, and H arbour Board in to be conducted on the Ist of January next, and appointing me returning officer of the election —I have the honor to be, 6cc.,—GILBEIZT HENDERSON." The note en closed a copy of the minute, which we have already published. Mr. Evans : The Recorder is sh,fuclge, and I think it is rather to lower the dignity of the Bench to make him the president at an election. The Chairman : Well, that is• in the discretion of the Commissioners. Mr. Brocklebank presumed that the Dock Committee would provide voting papers for the public, according to the regulations laid down, and he thought it very desirable that those papers should be placed in some office of that building, where the public could obtaia them. The Chairman said, there would be forms in the hands of the Secretary, a week previous to the election, which the public could obtain. Mr. Ilubback suggested that it would be very well to have lists also prepared of all dock rate payers who ware qualified to become members of the Board, in order that the public might know whether they were voting for duly qualified persons. The Chairman sai 1, Mr. North, the solicitor, was of opinion that it would be very laborious to make out such lists, but any one could refer to the books in a moment. Mr Gladstone did not think it would be by any means very laborious. Mr. Evans said, it would be the duty of the Recorder, as returning officer, to see that only qualified persons were elected, that any candidate not qualified should be rejected. The Solicitor said, the Recorder was in the office tha' day for that very purpose. No modon was macro uppn the subject, and the general business then closed. After the ieporte.s left, The Chairman read a letter from Mr. John Stewart, relative to some property forming the two corners of streets opposite the dock gates, in the north district, which that gentleman was instructed to purchase, and which belonged to Mr. JAr es Thomson, brewer. Mr. Stewart stated in his letter that the price demanded by Mr. James Thomson was £l4 000 ; but that having caretully valued the whole, he recommended that the sum of £10,250 should be offered,.which sum, he believed, would be accepted. The Chairman explained that this property and another cne formed the remaining portions necessary to complete the lot which was already in the possession of the Dock Com mittee Mr. Evans : More land ! Why, we shall have land enough soon to appoint a gamekeeper. Mr. Stewart mentioned that the rent of the premises situated at one of the corners, and being a public-house, was £260 per annum ; that of the opposite corner, being a beer house only, onsiderably less. The committee confirmed the revromendation of Mr. John Stewart, and agreed to give £10,250 for the property in question. FRIGHTFUL COLLISION ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. —On Wednesday morning a collision of a frightful charac ter occurred on the North London Railway, near the Hack ney station, by the sudden exit of a coal train from a siding near that station, at the tine of the approach of the 8 20 passenger train from Bow, the latter cutting the former in two, and destroying the bulk of the waggons composing the train. The driver of the passenger train, in consequence of the hazy state of the atmosphere, was unable, it is said, to perceive the coal train crossing the down line from the siding for the up line until he was close upon it, and as b )th trains were proceeding at twenty miles an hour, the col lision was, as may be imagined, of a terrible nature. For tunately there were but few passengers in the train, all of whom, however, were more or less injured, but none, so far as our reporter could learn, dangerously, The engine of the passenger train was partly dflaLolished, and Mg Of the earriagee were shattered.

The Bank Directors broke up this afternoon, after a protracted sitting, without announcing any alteration iti the rate of discount. Messrs. A. F. and D. Mackay, in their Timber Circular to be published to-morrow, make the following remarks on the present state of the Money Market, and business affairs g e n e . rally :- Matters connected with basiness of every description continue nearly without alteration from the appearance they presented at the d _to of ourlast circular. Rnu ittances in specie, from America, are still in course of arrival by each succeeding steamer—bullien flaws into the coffers of the Bank of England by many channels, and is steadily accumulating there—several of the great mercantile houses which were compelled by the nrepann, nf tarnpn”... 3 „.;...... stanc's to suspend payments, have intimated their intention of resuming operations in their ordinary course—the urgent demand for discounts, together with other applications for pecuniary aid have to a considerable extent slackened, and on every hand we perceive indications of growing confidence in commercial circles. Notwithstanding all this, how ever, actual business is still reduced to a minimum. Each class or department of mercantile and manufacturing life appears to be waiting for the movement of another. Transactions of all kinds are limited in amaunt, while they are entered into with hesitation ; and the general effect is dull trade, accompanied by still receding prices for all kinds of produce. In such a state of the market, it is needless to say, no trade can be represented truly as in a thriving condition ; and it seems now agreed on all bands that little or no alteration will take place till the year's affairs have been wound up, and the true state of the profit and loss account for the past twelve months shall have been ascertained. This is an inquiry which naturally occurs at this period ; and in every year, whatever the amount of its success may have been, a pause in mercantile transactions invariably ensues. Treat this year's investigation will prove less gratifying in its closing results than might bare been anticipated from the prospects held out at its emasmence ment, there seems, unhappily, every reason to believe; that it may show an amount of disaster considerably less than was recently anticipated, is at once certain and consoling. The Funds were very steady to-day. They at one time reached an advance of - E -1 per cent., but closed at about the quotations of yesterday. Con sols, after touching 911 to 918, fell to 911 " and closed at the same figure. The Three per Cent Reduced are marked 911 to 91-1; the New Three per Cents, 91.1- to 911; Exchequer Bills 4s dis to Par ; Exchequer Bonds, 1858, 99 and 984 ; ditto, 1859, 971; and India Bonds, 35s dis. In the London Railway Share Market, there was a good spesulative business transacted, and prices generally show an advance. The following were the closing prices :—Caledonians, 79i, 80 ; East ern Counties, 571, 581 ; East Lancashire, 89, 90 ; Great Northern, 96i ; Do. A, 79, 80 ; Gt eat Westerns 52, 521-; Great Western of Canada, 18t, 18i ; sTand Trunk of Canada, 91, 94 ; Great Southern and Western, 97, 99 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 92, 921 ; London and North Western, 95, 951 ; London and South Western, 89t, 901; Leeds Northern 51, 52; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 371, 381; Midland Stock, 881 ; North British, 49, 50 ; South Eastern sad Dover, 661, 611; York, New castle, and Berwick, 944, 95i ; York and North Midland, 82k, 831. We are given to understand that the affairs of Farley's Worcester Bank are likely to turn out much better than was anticipated. The entire liabilities of the Bank (ineludina , the notes in circulation, which do not exceed £37900), are under £85,000 ; the assets exceed .E.:12,000. Looking at the statement as nearly completed by Mr. Kettle, accountant, of Birmingham, there is every reason to believe that the creditors will ultimately be paid 12s or 13s in the pound. The Centurion has arrived from Sydney with 107 ounces of gold and 1.0,000 sovereigns on freight. It is believed that the remittances of silver to the East by the Pera, on the 20th instant, will not be much above 30a,0001., inclusive of the sum to be sent by the East India Company. The amount of specie shipped up to yesterday evening, on board the Magdalena, for the West Indies, was 10,200t.,nearly all silver. We are sorry to hear of another large failure in the wool trade, at Bradford. _ _ Disappointment is expressed at the failure of certain speculative parties, engaged in the English wool trade, to meet their engagements. This course is productive of much inconvenience. At Hamburgh the feeling in commercial circles seems rather less gloomy. The current rate of discount is about 9 per cent, but in some instances transactions take place below this rate. Th e Ex• chebuer Bills (if they may be so termed) issued by the State can be discounted, according to one account, at six per cent. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Lichten stein and Co., who stopped payment on the 7th inst., is called for Wednesday next, and a meeting of the ereditora of Messrs. Srovidsen and Johnson, who suspended on the 18th ult., for the 30th inst. The amount of gold purshased by the Bank of England yesterday was about 110,0001., inclusive of a quantity of Russian eo:n, but exclusive of a large number of sovereigns ex the Niagara, from New York, which, to the amount of about 60,0001. have also been purchased by the institution. The The amount of gold ascertained to have been added to the Bank's stock since the date of the last return, is computed at between 1,100,0001 and 1,200,0001. The London agents of the Illinois Central Rail road Company have issued proposals for a loan of 3,200,000 dols., or say 640,0001. stterling. This sum is required to provide for the unfunded debt of the company, and for all its obligations and require ments up to the let July next. The loan is to be raised in 7 per cent. bonds', payable in ten years. The price at which the bonds are to be emitted is par, and, as an additional inducement to subscribers, each bond of 2081. Os. Bd. will carry a right to subscribe for 25 shares in the com pany, this option terminating in 1861. Should the option of taking such shares be exercised, the bonds now offered will be received by the company at par in payment for them. The subscriptions invited here are for the sum of 1,600,000 dollars, or 320,0001., " or to such further extent as may be represented by optional rights surrendered." With reference to the market for American rail way sceurities, ➢lr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows : There has been no change of importance during the past week in American securitie?., Illinois Central shares have been shill, owing to continued sales, and rule considerably below the New York qoutations. All the bonds of this company have been more freely offered during the week ; but, at the close, we note rather more inquiry for the seven per cent. Construction Bonds. The new loan of the Michi gan Central First Mortgage Eight per Cenf. Convertible Bonds, 1882, has found much favour, with transactions at 76. Erie Stock and Bands are less inquired for, and close heavy. New York Central remain steady. [The following appeared in our second edition of yes terd ay ] The bills of Messrs. William Cheeseborough and Son, the largest woollen dealers in Bradford, were returned on Wednesday, to a considerable amount. It is stated that a general and permanent suspension of their operations is not apprehended. Messrs. S. C. Lister and Co., the large woollen firm at Halifax, whose suspension was announced on Monday, have given the strongest assurances of their ultimate ability to meet all claims in full. Mr. Yewdall, of Rawdon, near Leeds, a very extensive operator in wools, has obtained indulgence from his credi tors, owing to the acceptances of Lister and Co. being returned upon him for a heavy amount. We have been requested by Messrs. Hamilton, Koch, and Co., of Hamburg, and Heinrich Fried La waetz and Koch, of Altona, to give a formal denial to the report which has appeared that their firm had stopped payment. We are also requested by Messrs. Heine and Fleischman to give a similar denial to a similar statement. We do so with great pleasure, and regret that amid the names of so many firms which have been placed in difficulties under the pressure of so heavy a monetary crisis the names of these solvent firms should have inadvertently been inserted. Times. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-DEC. 17. The cotton market has been very dull, and to induce business, very low rates must be submitted to.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARBET.--DEc. 17. This being the groat Christmas market, the supply of every species of stock was larger. Prime beef and mutton supported late cur rencies, but middling and inferior were lower in many cases, Beef of middling quality was fully is per cwt. lower than last week, prices ranging from 54s to 60s. The pig market was larger, and prices ruled from 30e to 403 per i cwt. on foot. In the afternoon a further full t , ok plhcr, and beef was quoted at 20s to 30s a head less than last week. *THE COAL TRADE. The following is a copy of a letter received by Messrs. John Hall and Co of NeweasCe, on Monday, from their Constantinople cor respondent;— Constautinople, 2nd Dec., 1857..—Dear Sirs,—Since we last wrote you on the 26th Wt., we have had a.great many arrivals—as many as 30 cargoes of coal; but, notwithstanding this large importation, prices have kept up better than we anticipated, and we have heard of no sales under 325. This is attributable to the fact of most of the cargoes new in having been previously disposed of; and: now that prices hays kept up so well, and' such a large quantity of wheat was known to be on the way to come forward, the inference is that we are not likely to see this winter such low prices as we had led you to expect—probably the range m,y be from 32s to 30s for some months to.come. At Odessa, freights are at a complete standstill, and no transactions—the vesse s unchartered in port offering at 455, but without finding charterers.,—Northern Daily Express. THE IRON TRADE OF BIRMINGHAM. There has been no change whatever in the state of the iron trade of the district since our last report ; in every branch . of the trade there is complete stagnation ;, the contemplated rest rictton.of operations to which reference was made a week or two since, is being carried out in all directions ; the number of mills and forges working short time is increasing, and a very, few orders are coming in ;, a further move in the same direction is inevitable before the end of the year. Stocks of pig iron are accumulating, and when sales taka place it is at very low prices. The number of furnaces out of blast since quarter-day is about thirty-seven. The notices of reductions to some of the work men expire on Saturday ; atd some anxiety is. felt as regards the peace of the district. In. onsequence of the number of workpeople, out of employment in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton, many , robberies have taken place; and a requisition 'bathe Mayor has been. signed by all the influential inhabitants, requesting his Worship "to. take efficient steps to prevent future depredations." The numerous failures reported,, are the best evidence of Ws sad piglet in alach commercial concerns are in South Staffer 'shire. Very much of the wide-spread mischief which is now being developed has been brought about by t a extent to which the accommodation bill system has been carried on, and the facilities which the parties concerned in it have unfortunately received Lora some of the Banking establishments. In more than one of the falleres reported, the parties entered into heavy engagements, and embarked in bus ness operations of great magni tude, without a shilling of capital of their own ; the result is that honest traders—men who have capital to lose—have had to. suffer from tha inabilities of the unprincipled class referred to, to.fulfll their obligations, It has been estimated that the amount of accommoda— tion bills recently wiihdrawn from circulation in South. Staffordshire will tall little short oi five hundred thousand pounds, LIVERPOOL TIMBER TRADE. While etch is the state, and such the prospects of general trade, it cannot be mutter of surprise that that in wood has experienced no improvement; cn the contrary, it has been subjected to the full influence of those depressing circumstances which have crippled others. Little or no business has been done, and such attempts as have been made to force sales have met with bnt small success, and sacrifices have not secured a corresponding increase of business.
