In the colonial produee markets this week the trans-
actions have been of fair extent, with • continuance of

peened off steadily, and some inquiry prevails for mitive
at the low rates lately established. A. portion of the
new crop of Costa Ries, offered to-day was taken, and
the balk of the fint largo of the new crop will be
offered by auction next week. The NetharlamisTiedine
Company's sale on the 22nd inst., will °Geisha 108 800
bags, against 64.300 bags in June last year. Further
speculative operations have occurred in rice, soft grain
ants cia the spot, as well as afloat, obtaining better
prima. 'This niovement is bated on the sudden rise in
the value of gram. In the chief feature has been
the continued demand for floating cargoes of foreign for
the United Kingdom. Most deseriptioos od the spot
are quiet. Low Manilla, however, meet with partial
attention. West India has sold at • slight decline

gentlemen having spoken strongly in favour of the
adoption of a plan for shortening the hours of badness,
which from the experience of others wu found to be

BRISTOL ELECTION.

Mr. Odpr, "the working man's eandichte," on Fri
day decided not to go to the poll, and Mr. Eirkman
Hodgson will theref ore have the united support of the
Liberals. Mr. Hare is to-day (Monday) announced as
the Conservative candidate. The writ for tbe electioa
was received on Saturday, and will belproclaimed to-
day. The nomination will be Sued for Friday, and the
polling for Saturday.
On Saturday evening the Briatol fladieal Association
had an open air demonstration on Brandon4aSL
Mr. Leese presided, and oomplained that at the
meeting to *boom a Liberal candidate Mr. Odger's
friends were refused admission to the hall, and sailed
ticket-of•leave men, ',omitted thieves, and Tory roughs.
If they had been fairly treated at that meeting, they
would now perhaps be supporting Mr. Hodgson, but
they had been triad to be rubbed out sean iacurrest
sum.

IMr. Odger, who was received with applause, said be
supposed there wee no place for • working man until-
date on this wide of Jordan, that was if the Radicals
were to be persuaded or dictated to by the other classes
of society. He said be was not an intruder in Bristol.
but his party where not such fools se to rush rashly
into or:retests which involved the spending of • con-
siderable mum of money, and at the saute time had not
a fair prospect of moms. He wee invited to Bristol
basses the Radicals believed, instead of patchwork
government, they must have thorough Radice' legisla-
tion ; but haring gone round the town he could not, in
justice to thou men who desirsd to help him, become
• candidate. He denied that be was in the pay of she
, Tarim, and advised his party, although they had been
' uturvily treated by Lb. LAlerral Amoeiation, to support
Mr. Hodgson. Some of his friends said they woald
vote for • Tory, but he weld no more vote for a Tory
than be could fly. Keay people said he received •
salary from somebody, but the greatest salary he ever
received for hie public genius was 2s. 61. a week.
Mr. J. Aeland (Mr. Odger's agent) nest spoke, and
said he Guild not noderstand the evil spirit in Bristol
which professed Radicalism and acted Toryism. In the
bad old times, when truth wee C libel, the Tories had
pat him in gaol, asid he had been in the gaol in Bristol
many years ago.
A vote of Mucks was accorded to Mr. Odger and Mr.
Alden& and
1 Mr. Willismat in seconding the resolution, meld the
Liberal Associatron in Bristol were the most abominable
met of inert, and it we. better to support the open rogues,
the Tories.

THE A B C PROCESS.
To At Editor.

Sir —lf the .datement—res— pecting the AB C process,
copied from the Standard, May 30. 1870, and read at
a recent meeting of the Weymouth fawn tlonneil, be
authorised, it appears to me one of the most shameless
attempts to throw dust in the eyes of the public with
which I ever met.
The system, according to this statement, profeeedlT
restii off a very ignorant—not to say profane—mis.
application of • passage of Holy Saripture.
What possible corrnution of ideas, can there
be between tint solemn typical ceremony to which
the words looted refer, and "the proper mode of
dealing with the excreta of a town!' But at all events
we are told that here Wu the ruggetion—the animal
charcoal and the blood, as essential ingredients' of the
system. This was the point from which the chemist
worked. This is the foundation of the system. And
yet when we come to the enumeration of the awe-
d Milts employed in the process of purification we find
that charcoal and blood are in the smallest proportions; '
and we are respired to believe, on the authority of Mr.
I Wigner,that such is the purifying efficacy of blood.that
notwithstanding all that other blood which may have
flowed from slaughterhouses into the sewers, these 14Ibe.
added by him in the proportion of 1 part to 1,250,000
parts prodaee a sensible effect on the mass. Doubtless
similar efiniscy is attributed to the 281 b. of charcoal too,
which stand in the proportion of rad one to 625,000.
Now can any ODO who is to any extent acquainted with
he properties of either blood or charcoal give the
slighted credit to this?
But lastly, before any population shall act on
such extravagant professions as this paper contains,
let them sift that statement of the produce of 50
tons of manure per week worth £5 per ton from ,
a population. Let them add the two tons of
solid matter used in the proms every 'sweaty-four
hours, to what front almost any chemical work they
out ascertain to be the weight of the sewage matter
roam dried which is produoW by each individual, and ,
they will find the sum to be less than half of that
stated-50 tons per week. I will add to more than
that the degree of puritiontion effected by the Alf C
system seems from this aesount to be by no means
curtain. In that mysterious watching of the varying
foulness of the sewage as it enters the tank there is
something ludicrous. Is there a system of telegraphic
signals between the men watching the patient and those
administering the dose I—Yours truly,
X.Y.Z.
