QUEEN VICTORIA AND THE
UNITED STATES.

A correepondent of the Boston Telegraph mita* as fol-
lows:
Several years since an American lady of rare good
sense and Chrintian attainment went to Germany to
seek health. On her way home she went to England.
Iler position at home, her education anil refinement
of manner, entitled her to be presented to the English
Sovereign. To gratify her friends she went to St.
James's, little thinking much pleasure was in store
for her. As the Queen approached the lady she was
attracted by her quiet and raw:sewed wanner, and by
the expression of universal charity of thought and
deed which came like a benediction from the face of
my friend to all those who approached her. A few
royal words of welcome were mid, the Queen passed 013,
and MIS. --thought her part in the pageant was done.
A little after the "gentleman in waiting" brought a re.
quest from the Queen to the lady that elie would visit
her at Windsor. The day and hour havina been named, a
carriege was sent to bring ber. The (1... en and Prince

told her she had long wished for such an opportunity,
and had ventured to ask this interview, that she might
learn from an American lady more particularly concern-
ing the inner home life of a country so nearly allied to
England, and claiming and fondly clinging to its old tra-
ditiots and histories, and speaking the same language.
She asked of the social relatione as they manifest them-
selves in the different grades of society ; of the ob-
servance of public worship; of the standing and influ-
ence exerted by the clergy in private life; of the esti.

THE MARKL

NI A ILK•LA NE.-MONDAY:

There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on
sale here to-day, and the quality generally was but middling.
The attendance of millers was limited, and the demand WM/
heavy for all qualities at a decline of is. per qr With foreign
wheat the market was fairly supplied. The business doing
was unimportant, and whilst the general tendency of prices
was In favour of buyers ,American qualities receded Is. pa
qr. The show of barley was moderate. The trade WM'S firm, and
prices rare well supported. Malt Ina dull, on former terms.
The supply of oats was moderate. For most qualities there
was a healthy Inquiry, and good sound corn was fully as dear.
Beans were steady in value, with a moderate demand. Peas
were firm, and Canadian were Is. per •jr. higher. Flour was
dull, and the tendency of prices was in favour of buyers.
Linseed and rapeseed were steady. Most agricultural seed.
commanded a fair amount of attention, at about late rates.
Maize was purchased to a moderate extent.
MARK-LANE. —WEDNESDAY.

The market to-day, influenced by the cooler weather and
shortness of the snpplies, has been rather firmer; but at the
same time there has been a want of animation in the de-
mand. As regards English wheat the receipts have been
very small. There has been a moderate attendance of
millers, but business has progressed slowly, at Monday's de-
cline. Thelshow of foreign wheat has been good The trans-
actions have been in retail, at the rates previously current.
With barley the market has been moderately supplied.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE lIARKET.—MONDAT.

Depression was the feature of the cattle trade to-day, and
• general reduction took place In prices. As regards beasts,
the supply was only moderate ; neeertluless, oaths to the
unfavourable weather for slaughtering, and the heaviness
in the dead meat market, the de nand even for the
choicest breeds was dull and the quotations gave way fully
25. per 81b, compared with Monday laid, the extreme
price for the best Scots and •-eosses belng Si, per 81b. With
sheep the market was more freely supplied, but prime breeds
were scarce. For all qualities the trade was dull. The best
Downs and half-bride declined 21. per 81b., the quotation
being Si Bd. to 51. 105. per 81b. In ibferi.r anti foreign
breeds the fall was more marked, sales being dithcult even
at a decline of 45. per 81b. The top price for shorn sheep was
Si. per 81b. For land*, the trade was dull, at 7s 65. to Ele.

AN IRISH BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.

At the Cork Aseirce, an action has been brought to recover
damages, ahicli were laid at £l,OOO, for a breach of promise
of marriage.

The plaintiff, demonised as a very pretty girl, whose
age was stated to be only nineteen, is the daughter of
Mr. Hunt, of George's-street, Cork, who has for many
years carried on the businns of an optician. The de-
fendant is a Mr. O'Connell, who was a few yearn ago
admitted as a solicitor and attorney, which profesnions
he has since practised with considerable success.
It appeared that in the year 1867 an acquaintance
commenced between the parties, which was, however,
dropped very shortly, but was renewed at the Queens-
town Regatta in June. 1869; and on the 10th or 11th
of August in that year, returning from the fireworks
on the evening of the Glenbrook Regatta, the defend.
ant proposed to the young lady, and was duly accepted
by her, and the engagement was recognized by
her father. At that time the plaintiff was occupied
as a governess, but was induced, at the request
of the defendant, to give up her occupation. by
which she stated she was earning from 1:60 to £7O a
year. Very few letters passed between the parties ;
in the first the defendant addressed the young lady as
"My dearest Jane," which style of address was, how-
ever, very goon softened down to "My dear Jane."
Upon the 19th of Oct 'her the defendant wrote to the
young lady to say that in consequence of having been
kept in the dark in reference to some matters con-
nected with the history of her family, be had deter-
mined to break off the match.
The young lady was examined, and admitted that
she never loved the defendant, but she stated that
Mr. O'Connell had often told her he had such winning
ways he would succeed in making her fond if him.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages
£'2so.

-71'ie court was thronged, the principal part of the
audience being ladies, and the greatest interest was
manifested in the proceedings.

THE IRON TRADE.

WOLVERHAMPTON, ll'obiesday.

Reports at Wolverhampton to-day were very
varied as to the state of the iron trade, but it
may be safely said that there was much more
confidence, if not many more orders. The idea
that partially prevailed of reducing wages, and
thereby lessening the cost of production, is
growing lesA, for the fact is becoming patent to
all that the law of supply and demand for skilled
labour in this trade has put it entirely beyond
the power of the irontnasters of South Stafford-
shire to reduce wages at will. Hence it is ex-
pected that the question will he so dealt with at
the preliminary meeting on the gist inst as will
pat an el el to any hopes on the part of consu-
mers wio keep ordera back. The pig iron trade
reports a slight improvement on last week; and
a httle more activity in some of the general
trades of the district has had a corresponding
ioildcace on the finished iron branches that sup-
ply their wants.

The ii.ter.ltion of the meeting hour notified
ast week, w t V, IT s..rictly observed on

The LATE MR. EDWARD DENISON, M.P.

The untimely death of Mr. Edward Denison, the
member for Newark, which took place in Australia,
where he had gene for the benefit of his health, will
awaken regret and sorrow far beyond the circle of the
House of Commons, in which his promising career
had but commenced a few months ago. Springing
from on aristocratic stock and with all the temptations
that ouch a position brought with it, Mr. Denison
was not content to gather second-hand a know-
ledge of the lab tiring classes for whom, with his
fellows, he was called upon to legislate. For many
months he lined in the east of London, and in quiet
lodgings cultivated the oympathy and love of those who
surrounded him. In c injunction with a friend, who
survives to mourn his loss but c intinue his good
work, he established a school for poor children in one of
the most destitute parts of Mile-end Old Town, and
there are few schools for the humblest of the working
classes conducted on more sound and independent
principle, than that alluded to now as one of Mr.
Denison's best monuments. The passing fame if a
brilliant speech or the applanse of fashionable philan-
thropists were not the goals of Mr. Denison's ambition.
In the cheers advocacy of great and good principles,
and in the silent but cure affection of the loser, whom
his presence and zeal made happy anil independent, he
found a higher reword than any St. Stephen's could
afford him. As a private gentleman, Mr. Denison was
esteemed by a wide circle of friends, who will long look
in vain for one so true, manly, and chivalrous to supply
his place.

DUDLEY.

THE LAST OF THE SUPERANNUATION QUESTION:Mr.
Charles Cochrane has received the following letter from
the Poor Law Board :—" Whitehall, March 23, 1870
Sir—The Poor-law Board having been in communication
with the Guardians of the Dudley Union in reference to
the letter which you addressed to the Board on the 31st
of January last, respecting Mr. Thomas Bradley's appli-
cation for a superannuation allowance upon his resigns-
tion of the office of Collector of Poor Bates in the coun-
try district of the parish of Dudley, I am directed to
transmit, for your information, the accompanying copy
of a letter and its enclosure, which the Board have re•
ceived from the Guardians, and to state that under the
circumstances the Board are unable to take any further
steps in the matter.—l am, Sir, your obedient •ervant,
A. FLEHlNG."—Although it is thus finally decided that
the long and faithful services of the late Collector will
not be recognised by the granting of a superannuation
allowance, it cannot be doubted that the suggestion of
the Mayor to provide a "Bradley testimonial fund," by
private subscriptions, will yet be carried out. Let those
who have talked so well ShOW that they can act well.

THE LAND FOR EMIGRANTS
TO GO TO!

Recent advices from Buenos Ayres describe the
result of the tour just completed by President Sar-
miento through the interior provinces of the Argentine
Republic, during which he visited the various settle-
ments rapidly rising into importance in that country.
'With the exception of the British Minister, he was
accompanied in his trip by all the representatives of the
foreign Powers, including those of France and the
United States, and the result seems to have created
general satisfaction. The chief object of President
Sartuiento was "to study for himself personally the
great field of colonization now in course of develop-
ment by English, S miss, Italians, and Germans," and
his most sanguine anticipations are mid to have been
surpassed. To a friend he wrote

In the 19 colonies- -Borne of them seventy-two square miles
In extent—l found the greatest abundance. In that of
Esptrans t, near Santa FU (Swiss . the president of the muni-
cipality made an avowal rarely, if ever before, heard In any
community Here, nefinr, we are all rich." The same
prosperity reigns in the others." hi Frayle Muerto various
young Englishmen have commenced to cultivate the Pampas
with the greatest 50,V1.18. applying it to steam ploughs and
the most perfect English agricultural machinery Many
of them are now rich, and they propose extending their
operations.
• • •

In the settlement of Canada de Gomez, on hindsobe-
longing to the Central Argentine Railway, similar prc-
green wag found to have been made. An instance is
mentioned of a square mile having been cultivated,
sovni, and reaped in ten months, the produceof which
covered the entire cost of the purchase. In the pro-
vim:, of Santa Fs the coloniats, it is officially reported
have repaid within three years every dollar of the out-
lay expended on them, although each family was
furnished with 80 acres of land, a house, plough, yoke
of oxen, and provisions for a year, and they are all
now independent. 'One of these peoplx," observes
the President, "showed inn a steam mill he had built
at a cost of £IO,OOO sterling, and boasted of having
arrived with only s'. in }lli pocket."

Ey while U,• se't lets each na,i..riality seem to be
equally prosperous, the most popular immigrants are
those from.. the north of Europe, and especially
' districts

Eng Small farmers from the rural
are the class prefer', d, and there is no encouragement
for the idle or inefficient. "The system pursued by
the Englishmen at Frayle, Muerto, and "Janaela de
Gomez seems to me," says the Preeident, "superior to
all others, and off, re a striking example of what the
young men of that country can achieve in establishing
homes and creating abundance." These impressions
were derived entirely from personal observations. "I

TEIE TRISH PEACE BILL.

LONDON, Thursday Night.

In the House of Commons to-night the only
di-eussion xeiting much interest occurred on
Mr. Synan's motion, to omit from the press
clause the word treasonable or seditious. Mr.
Stavely Hill in seconding it, took high grounds,
describing the bar and the press as the defend-
ers of liberty. The O'Donoglme made a capital
speech against the amendment, and delighted
the House by describing so-called national
writers as scribblers Mr. Hardy, for the Con-
servatives, supported the clause as necessary.
Mr. Maguire supported the amendment, but
seemed afraid of losing the respect of the
House. Sir Roundell Palmer very quietly in-
vited members to vote for the clause.

When put, the numbers were very feeble, but
a division took place, and the amendment was
lost by 300 to 15.
