SATURDAY'S MARKETS.
Mats.
CAMBRIDGE. —We had a full market, with a plentiful
supply of wheat and barley, and rather a slow trade, with
draining price.
CARLISLE Wheat in better supply. and old main-
tamed its price, but new being in bed condition, and of

£l,OOO upwards, were spent last year at the
Spool workhouse, in stimulants for sick paupers.
The medical officers gave it as their opinion, the
expense had been absolutely necessary.
This is entitled to a note. A worthy doctor of
the old school, formerly living in Dorchester and
who a shorttimeago, went tohisrest, at aripe old
age, used to say "There are only three remedies
required for all human ailments—linseed, jallop,
and castor-oil, but as neither happens to be a
guinea an ounce, sick people won't swallow
them."

Miss Emily Faithful', whose power of work
seems perfectly inexhaustible, has started a
penny local paper, called the West London
Express. It is, as might have been expected, of
a very much hivher class than such papers
generally are, and the first two numbers which
have been issued are full of bright writing.

The Bishop of Durham, seems to have dis-
covered what people long ago knew, and what
possibly other prelates may in time come to
understand. The other day talking about the
disostalishment f the Church he said :
" I do not believe that the danger really of our
Church at the present day isfrom iiiment, if it were not
strengthened by unsound members of the Church of
England; an,l I think amongst the most fearful and
alarming features of the present day is that the
English Church Union—representing as it does such a
large number of the clergy and laity—should, with
almost one voice and with very few remonstrant*, ad-
vocate and support the proceedings of Mr. Tooth in
his open defiance of the law. I believe that if an
is to pull down the Church of England it will be
the defiance of the law by those who are her ministers.
The people of England are a loving people; they are
cal by their clergy that they are to obey the law, aud
when they see the clergy themselves in so many
instances openly defying the law, and declaring that
the legal authorities are in no way binding upon them
--riet,rmined, in fact, that what they wish and what
they resolve is to be the law ti them—the moment
that that is felt by the laity to be the '.;eneral feelin4—
and I fear that at this moment that feeling is extend-
ing—then it seems to me that our Chnrch will lose the
confidence of the laity of this e *intry."
The Bishop begins to see that the old dictum
"don't do as I do, but, do as I tell you," is no
longer so open-mouthedly received by flocks, as
once upon a time.

CATTLE.
CARLISLE—The supply of cattle and sheep was about
as average for the season. There was a limited attendance
of buyers, awl trade was slow throughout. Irish were
most nianierous among the cattle, and the better sorts
met some demand of £3 10s. to £7 for yearlings, and £9
to £l4 fort .0 and three year olds. Hornebred• were a
fair supply, and included some nice shorthorns and milch
cows, and a few Highlanders. The latter attracted little
or no attention. Much cows made, .LI6 to LEI; short-
horns, £9 to £l5 each. The lambs consisted mainly of
cheviots and half-heeds. for which there was only • small
demand at about the prices lately quoted. Pigs • good
supply. but attendance of buyers small, trade slow, and
prices drooping: Shots, 311 s. to his. ; best pigs. 211 s. to Bic
reseondsry. 16.. to 20s. each.
DONCASTER—Beasts were not so large • supply as
that of last week, and consisted chiefly of young stock.
Buyers were not numerous, and trade ruled flat all the •
morning. What little business passed was done at about
the rates of last Saturday.
NOTTINGHAM. -There was not • large supply of
cattle, and business was slow, many buyers preferring to
postpone their purchases till the great annual fair next
Tuesday. Prices, where sales took place, were about the
same as thnee current of late. The show of sheep man-
prised rains and hogs. The demand was slow. Calves
were a small show, awl supported their value. Pigs were
in large supply. and the trade was steady, prices being
about the same as heretofore.

There's nothing like being charitable,ospocially
if you do it cheaply.
'By command of the Qneen the Home ffecretarr has
sent a telegram to the Lord Mayor. acknowlw ging
receipt of the telegram announcing that the Maniion
House Indian Famine Fund had reached a quarter of
a million sterling, and intimating that her Majesty
feels deeply the readiness with which the sufferings of
i her people n India have touched the hearts of her
people at hem.'
Thu Empress gave £5OO ; from an intrinsic
point of view, a veritable 'widow's mite."

to his story der owed about a pint. However during
the night he felt rather unwell, and next day was so
nerionaly ill as tn rerptire tuelic 1 attendance. Dr.
Norton was called in, the mita had become congealed
and formed • hard substanee in the bowels, and for
several days the young fellow's life wae despaired of.
But I m Sunday, under the skilful treatment of Dr.
Norton, he was a little better, and it was hoped to
remove him to his home in a few days. The ease is
one which chunk! act am a caution to perains who seem
unable to place any restraint upon their appetite for
thesie indigestible and injurious articles.

ON FRIDAY EVENING LAST interesting and success-
ful services were held in the Congregational Chapel,
Puddletown, in connection with the settlement, an
paetor, of the Rev. W. Kyd, at A., formerly pastor of
the church at Amble, NorthumberlaniL At five
o'clock a tea meeting was held in the chapel, when
a goodly number of friends from different neighbour-
hoods sat ilavo, the chapel being tastefully decorated
with flowers and appropriate mottos, h.c. A public
meeting succeeded at half-paat six, when the Rev. T.
Heave, of Dorchester, presided, ard after prayer,
offered a few remarks on the object of their gathering.
He said that it wive him more than usual pleamure to
preside on this occasion. Within the brit few months
It hail been his pleasure to mention the names of two
of hie old Scotch friends to two vacant churches in 'he
country, who had shown their ginal sense in inviting
these brethren to be their minister.. The other week
he had presided at the recognition of his dear old
friend and fellow student, Mr. Fell, who was present
with them, and now be had a similar pleasure in
presiding at the recognition if his friend Mr. Kyd. In
introducing Mr. Kyil to Puddletown, I have to intro-
duce, said Mr. Neave, a Scotchman, a fact which I
know full well will not be deemed a disadvantage to
either him or you. I have beehles ti introduce a
fellow townsman, and fellow member f the name
church; and if I cannot introduce • fellow-student of
the same university. I can introduce Mr. Kyd as
having received his Theoligical education at the same
Theological Hall. Mr. Ky.l comes to you. I need
hardly gay, as a welltrained awl equipped Christian
minister. He come*, to you as having wound the
best of Christian and educational advantages, having
been a very succescful pulpil in a high school of his
native town, where he received the gold medal for
classical studies, and a student of St. Andrews where
he gained his degree if M.A. He comes to you, alisc,
as • well-bred Christian minister, who ham lived in the
regard of his brethren in the truth, where he has
Laboured for several years. You will find in him an
Evangelical treacher, who will not trouble you with
modern vagaries which some people erroneously call
advancement. He will preach what we have been
accustomed to reganl as the Gospel if Je.its
which has been in the peat and will continue to lei in
the f nturez the power of God unto Salvation. Yon
will find him an earnest and devoted pastor who will
lay himself out to do you good, and to bell,
you in all that concern your intellectual and
spiritual interest. All this I think you will find in
my friend Mr. Kyd. You will find my friend a
thorough Nonconformist. He hails from a town where
the spirit of independence ha. alwavi. flourished, and
where. I am happy to say, it nourishes stilL You
will not expect Mr. Keil to pay any deference to mere
eccleaiastical pretenaions—incleal, we Scaitchmen have
not been trained to recognise such distinctions. To
us such pretensii ins are mere abaurditie... which we
can hardly treat with ordinary patience. The diatinc•
eons which we recognise are those born of true merit
and the grace of God, and where such distinctions are
