called honour, which he invoked in powerful language. The
reverend doctor quoted at considerable length from Burns'
well-known poem, the " Advice to a Young Friend." In con-
clusion, Dr. M`Neile urged strongly upon the female portion
of the community the great services they could render to the
association and to society at large, by using the influence they
possessed as mothers, wives, and sisters. He entreated them
to use that influence, and in doing so they might rest assured
that a blessing would follow their efforts. He advised the
young men to abstain from all amusements which they could
not invite their mothers, wives, or sisters to participate in.
At the conclusion of his address the reverend doctor was
much applauded.
A hymn was sung, during which a collection was made.
The Rev. H. GRIFFITIES then brieflly addressed the meeting
on the necessity for prayer. In the course of his address he
dwelt forcibly on the Divine injunction to "pray always," and
gave many forcible illustrations of its efficacy.
The Rev. S. MINION, on rising, was received with applause.
He stated his cordial approbation of the objects of the society,
and expressed satisfaction at knowing that it was making
such progress in this town, as was clearly indicated by the
large and important meeting now assembled.
Mr. R. A. MAcam moved the thanks of the meeting and
of the association to the Chairman, and also to the different
gentlemen, lay and clerical, who lent it their countenance,
and in a particular manner to those who had' delivered lec-
tures to the members.
Mr. JOHN CROPPER seconded the motion, which was
adopted by acclamation.
The Rev. V. M. WHITE pronounced the benediction, and the
meeting separated.

TVAI7.E.RTREE BOARD OF HEALTH.

Tim monthly meeting of this board was held last night
in the Public Offices. The chair was occupied by the
Rev. W. Badnall, and there were also present Messrs. Hal-
head, Hill, Amlerton, Bradburn, Gore, Chaffer, and Rishton.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been read by
Mr. Atherton, the law clerk, they were confirmed.
The CnAIRMAN then called attention to the circumstances
of the nuisance on the premises of Mr. Fingland, which had
been so frequently brought under the notice of the board.
In reference to this subject, he read a letter he had received
from Mr. Whitley, on the part of the Marquis of Salisbury,
complaining of the nuisance, and requesting that they would
immediately take measures for having it abated. He ex-
tdained that, on receiving the letter, he along with Mr. Davies
visited the premises, where they met with Mr. Finland, Who
stated his willingness 'to do everything that was necessary to
remove any reasonable ground of complaint. Subsequently,
he (the Chairman), in his private capacity, visited the pre-
mises, and there met Mr. Picton along with Mr. Fingland,
the former of whom persisted in addressing him as chairman
of the board, which he disclaimed. In the meantime, however,
no improvemerit'had been effected. In course of the dayof the
present meeting he had had transmitted to him, by Mr.
Whitley, the '.copy of a letter addressed to him by the noble
Marquis, instructing him to adopt such steps by erecting a
barrier between the property of himself and Mr. Hope, if the
Board did not immediately see the nuisance removed.
Severatmembers expressed themselves to the effect that the
matter was one in which the board could only interfere in the
mutter in` he ordinary way, by giving notice that whatever
nuisan-etnxisted should be abate&
Mr. HA.LIEEAD, after remarking that the business of the
hoard was to deal with the nuisance in such"A way as to cause
itsTemoval, but not to prescribe the exact' manner in which
that was to be effected, moved that the 'Law-clerk be in-
,' strutted to serve a notice upon Mr. Fingland to have the
nuisance abated; and that it be also an 'instruction to the
Law-olerk to communicate to Mr. Whitley'the purport of this
Tesbirtion, expressing at the -same time 'the anxious desire
entertained by the board to have the nuisance abated.
:CHAFFER seconded "the resolution, which was unani-
.rnously adopted.
The CHAIRMAN then -road a memorial presented by Mr.
A. Picton' in his own name, and that of two ladies, who,
''fie himself, were owners of property in Olive Mount. The
'memorial complained that the sewer in'that district had been ,
"made 23 feet deep, whereas a depth of seven or eight feet j
would have been sufficient. This, it was stated in the memo-
Tial, had occasioned great additional and unnecessary expense,
'which could not be of any use or benefit to the owners of the
property for a very long period.
Mr. RIanTON said he could not avoid thinking such la
memorial was the last sort of thing he should have expected
from Mr. Picton, on such a • subject. That gentleman was
himself a member of the board at' the time the works spoken
of had been undertaken, and took an active hand in them,
having made several motions on the subject of their construc-
tion. It came, therefore, with a bad grace' from him to 'com-
plain of acts to which he was' himself a party. If he did not
know the expense of the sewer; and was not conversant' with
it in all its details, dt was his own fault ; he had ampleloppor-
tunity of becoming so, and he, therefore, ought not 'to en-
deavour to get out of the responsibility attached to works to
the adoption of which he was net merely a consenting but an
acting party.
Several other members expressed themselves in wsimilar
strain.

Notwithstanding ihe stringency of the money market, a
fair extent of business has been done in sour different produce
markets during the past month. The article attracting most
attention has been sugar, which has taken a further rise of
12s. to 15s. per mt. since our last circular, and this simply
from the great deficiency in stock and expected arrivals for
the remainder of the year. Du King the last ten days there
has been a general demand both from the trade and specula-
tors, increasing in excitement each day, and a further ad-
vance of 10s: to l2s. has been established; at these prices the
impression that we must have a further advance before we
can receive anything like adequate supplies. The stock in
the four ports.is only 62,000 tons,ngainst 152,000, showing a
deficiency of .60,000 tons, 55,000 of which deficiency is esti-
mated in London, 20,000 here, and 15,000 in the Clyde and
Bristol. The consumption is progressing satisfactorily, not-
withstanding' the advanced prices demanded by the grocers-
-50 per cent. on moist, from 4d. per lb. to 61—and will be
about on a par with the last year. Molasses have, participated
in the advance in sugar, and 'good to fine West India are
worth 28s. to 295. The London sugar market was again ex-
cited yesterday, and a further advance of 3s. to 4s. was estab-

In Manchester, the market for manufactured goods
has been.in rather an uneasy.state, owing to the un-
willingness of buyers to give blue advanced prices de-
manded; and which have been rendered necessary by
the rise in the raw material; still there has been a fair
amount of busines done both for the China market and
for. Germany, and yarns, as well as manufactured goods,
are saleable at improved prices. 'There is a threat of
an extensive turn-out, •owing to somesof the masters
havinggiven notice of a reduction in thexate of wages,
a measure which is very naturally resisted at a time
when the price of all necessaries is so high, but it is
hoped that some arrangement will be come to by
which a resort to a iurn-out may be avoided. In the
Woollen trade there is very little to notice, there being
a fair amount of business transacted, and prices re-
main without alteration. The Hosiery and Lace
trades are also steady.
