OFFICIAL INSPE(TION OF SLUILES AND
HORSES.

--
The Committee for the Defence of the Island, after the
fun ocrasiosed by the summary slaughter of borate at
Eiouthamptm, deemed it unwise to permit any longer
that of which they had received intimation twelve months
ago. The committee had taken Woe for consideration,
without imyrovlng the state of affairs.
Conottquectly, in virtue of an official decision, the com-
mittee requested the Mayor of Weymouth to choose and
send them a veterinary surgeon, who would be enabled to
(tett cram any otas. the
Mayor of Weymouth selected Mr. C. Dring, veterinary
surgeon of Weymouth, and ex-Government Inspector at
ltath. . . . . .

Contenier J. K. Haire received, upon the arrival of Mr.
Drina. an official Intimation from Colonel llemery, Con-
stable of St. Helier. requesting him to accampany the
mid Inspector, deputed by the Committee for the Defence
of the Island, and we hope to be enabled to inform our
readers of its purport.
Owners of horses and livery stable-keepers are, it may
be said, almost without exception, much pleased with the
committee's resolution. —Nouvelle Chruniqui.

MIL FORSTER ON THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS.
Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., was present at the opening of
a Girls' Grammar School by Lady Frederick Cavendish in
Bradford. Mr. Forster spoke of the importance of having
scholarihips attached to the eichooL by which girls from
elementary schools in Bradford might b..: able to obtain
admission to the higher school, and by which girls might
alio PUS from the graiumar.school to the girls universities.
Mr. Forster offered an exhibition of lifti a year for three
years for the latter purpcas. No poor girl, he said, who
showed that ohe ps..sessed tho faculty of acquiring and
imparting km.wiedge ought to find the least difficulty in
obtaining the knowledge that would enable her to do good
and attain the petition to which by her talents sh• wit
entitled.

LORD GAON ON LABOURERS UNIONS.
This venerable nthlemen, now in his eighty-fourth year,
has just issued an address to the labourers employed on
his estates at Firle, Susacut, on the question of labourers'
unions. Delegates from the National Union have recently
visited Firth and the neighbouring parishes, and his to

means of conveying his ideas on the subject Nomith.
standing the fact that nearly WO are employed on his
estates, each copy of the address was signed by himself.
His lordship says :—" I have to observe that every English
workman has a righ:: to jothain any union he pleases, but it
must be remembrememberedt an English employer has an
equal right to ref use employing men that belong to a
union and I an. quite aware that all good and wise men
are averse to them lam desirous to state, as the friend
of the labourer. that I am unable to ascertain what good
the unions have dose. As an employer of the labourer I I
object to the rules of the unions more than to the unions '
In them‘elves, as I GA easily perceive that there might be
a unio.i that would be quite harmeless in its effect between
employer and ale'. Hut then I cannot allow for that
union to dictate to me or to my workmen what wage,
am to give or the men to receive, whether we would or not.
That would be an cppresaion.quite wrong in principle, and
would only lead to dissension and ruin to both aid...
Trade combinatiou cannot alter the law of supply and
demand, nor can they permanently raise or reduce the rata
of wages. I have to complain of the shan.eful miastate-
wants made and the tone of abuse of farmers and landlords
that have characterised the addresses of delegates and
those who would listen to and believe such talk I should
much rsther ense with their services, and got men to
work who would trust me as their friend."

The Archbishop of Canterbury, speaking at Maidstone,

the Church of England, because they know well that if
there were no Archbishop of that church, another Arch-
bishop, belonging to a church with a powerful historical
connection, and with ramifications througout the globe,
would still remain, and would win many additional
recruits. The Archbishop, therefore, claimed that as the
leader of the Protestant churches of the world, the Church
of England deserved well at the hands of Nonconformists.

On Thursday, at Bristol, fair supply of English
wheat, which sold readily at fully last week's prices,
the majority of holders insisting on an advance.
Supplies of foreign continue liberal ; there was a better
trade to-day, at an improvement of is to as per
quarter. Maize quiet, with values nominally 6d per
quarter dearer. The samples of English barley on
show were very unsatisfactory, and prevented business
being done; a good demand for old French, at
advancing prices ; grinding qualities in better request,
and 6d per quarter higher. Oats more in favour, and
3cl per quarter dearer. Arrivals: Wheat, foreign,
15,724 quarters; oats, Irish, 1,457 quarters; barley,
Irish, 41 quartets ; beans, peas, Btc., 3 qrs. Irish, 3,204
foreign; maize, foreign, 51,635 qrs. ; flour, foreign,

At Birmingham less supply of English wheat. The
demand, however, was not very active, and holders
were careless sellers. An improvement in prices is
looked for as seed time approaches. Quotations were
nominally unchanged from last week. The arrivals
of foreign wheat show a considerable falling off, and
an advance of 6d to Is per quarter on American wheat
was established.—At INvizes there was considerably
more animation in the trade for all descriptions of
corn. Wheat, which was in good supply, was in
demand for seed, and this description sold at an
advance in price. Grinding sorts also sold well, at,
in some instances, higher figures. Mr. John Moore
(late of Littlecott) sold old wheat at 3os. The best
descriptions of barley (which are at present rare)
advanced from is to as per quarter, but grinding sorts
were a very slow trade. Vetches experienced a rise
of from is to 2s per bushel, selling as high as ifis.
Rye and beans rather cheaper. Old wheat, 261 cal to
30s ad per sack; new ditto, 241 ad to 26s 6d;
secondary ditto, ajs to as ; barley, 30$ al to aas od ;
fine flours, 39s to 43s ; best seconds, 376 to 385 ; oats,
281 to 341; peas, 225 to ads; beans, 224 to 324 ;
rye, 181 to Isis ; vetches, 135 to ids; best bread, Is per
gallon.
On Friday, at Mark• Lane, the improved feeling
reported from some of the leading provincial markets
produced • little firmness on the part of factors,. and
offers of less money were not generally entertained.
Wheat was held for a slight advance, but this was not
given, and Monday's rates may be quota). for both
English and foreign, the supplies of each description
being upon a larger wale, -though in the case of the
former still very moderate. Barley was quite as dear,
but not readily dealt in. Malt was dull, and without
change in price. The fresh arrivals of oats were small,
but business in them was slow, and late rates were not
exceeded, even for sound English qualities. Maize
was rather flat when forced for sale. Boum were very
quiet, as also were peas, and no alteration occurred in
e value of either. The flour market was stronger
in tone, and a rise of 6,j was asked for American
barrels. At Lincoln fine samples made is Per quarter
advance, and inferior were the same as last week. At
Liverpool a fair consumptive trade in wheat, and (po-
tations advanced 3d. per calla all round since
Tuesday. Flour wet,
t, but steady. Peas 6d per
quarter cheaper. oats, and barley, unaltered.
Indian corn was taken only to a moderate extent, at
29s per qr. for mixed American, closing thereat. At
Wakefield improved demand for foreign wheat holders
generally in.ioink on is advance on small business
passing. New srow, and prices "changed, except
finest, which is is dearer. Fuse barley in good request.
Inferior neglected. Other articles steady.
