MONEY MARKET.

Tills DAY,

TWO O'CLOCK.
the satisfactory appearance presented by the Bank
returns, more especially after the unfavourable antici-
pations indulged in by some, gave occasion to
a firmer feeling in the English stock market at
the commencement of business this morning, and
time bargains in Consols were concluded as high as
962. The fulling off in the supplizs of specie from tho
United States appears to have been looked upon as
likely to have a sensible influence upon the stock in
the Bank vaults; but the effect of the demand upon
this depository appears likely to be counteracted
by the tide of bullion imports from other quarters.
Thus we arc to-day advised of the arrival of the
Helen 3PGregor steamer at Hull with 65,000/. in
golden half imperials from St. Petersburg.
Consols are now quoted as they left ofi' yesterday,
at 65! to 96, both for money and account, being a
reduction of on the opening price of the day. The
market is extremely quiet. Business is marked as
follows: Three per Cent. Consols, 65! 96; ditto fur
account, 96,1, 951. Three per Cont. Reduced, 96Z, L;
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Ceuta., 984, ; India

Very little business going forward in the foreign
investments, and in a few eases, owing to the
absence of movement, quotations evince some
weakness. Mexican Bonds and Sardinian Scrip
are both tint, speculators being very cautious
of touching the former, in view of the present as-
pect of the affairs of the republic, from which
further and fuller advices are impatiently looked for ;
whilst the capitalist public evince no disposition
to take up the Sardinian security till the instalments
are 'mid up and the bonds take their due place in
the market for investment. Today's business list is
as follows: Austrian Five per Cent. Bonds, 81;

THE WEEK AT THE GLASS PALACE.

Mos!,Ay.

On this day, according to the police returns, the
Crystal Palace was visited by 40,0'21 persons. The provin-
cial amount of the attendance was again very strong, sup-
ported by the large number of Excursion trains now run-
ning. A special train of this character arrived at Euston-
square at eleven o'clock on Monday morning from North-
ampton, delivering a large number of guests from that town
and the district adjacent. Shortly before, and oddly enough,
a special train had brought between 2,000 and 3,000 visitors
from Southampton by the South Western Railway. Mist
of the passengers by the latter train were to return in the
evening, and will thus have travelled IGO miles in the day
with time allowed to see tho Exhibition for the sum of 3s.

FLOVER GARDEN AND BUILVIIDEMEA.

Before the season is further advanced, every gardener
should calculate, as nearly as may be, whether the extent
of his framing conveniences will be sufficient to allied
shelter during winter to his stock of half-haply
as well as to thou: he is now propagating. If his
room is deficient, he must either restrict annual props.
gation within certain limits, or prepare additional pits
without further loss of time. Brick pits are of coons
the most durable, and although expensive in the lint
outlay, are cheapest in the end. A very common male.
shift pit is built of turves, which lasts several SCI.OIII and is
very warm, but in appearance rather untidy. 'There ism
much glass broken in covering and uncovering, tkit it som
amounts to the cost of a small boiler and pipes, which wield
enable us to do without covering of any kind, and thus ,w 1
the means of keeping our plants through the winter at e
less cost; for if we take iuto account the expense of man,
the time occupied in putting them on and taking them of;
and the glass they break, it will be seen that the better plat
is also the cheaper one. For beds to flower early next •ammo,
there is no question that the old plants of geniniunw tali%
up and preserved in Obi are the best ; and if sufficient room 3
allowed them, they will he nice bushy plants in flower by
planting out season next year. In cases where the distils,
of flower is not required to be earlier than August, a sib
ficient stock to produce the necessary quantity of cuttings
by next March is all that noel be preserved. The bedbug
kinds of geraniums arc so useful, and there are so many
beautiful varieties, that, to winter all is becoming a actions
matter ; and timely preparation should be made when!ree
the demand is great. A sowing of hardy annual, may low
be made in the reserve garden, and afterwanls trausplarted
for dowering early in the spring ; these will flower as 6)01
as the earlier plants raised in frames next year ; ant as
• frame room in spring is generally scarce, it is worth whilo
to economise it.

LLYNVI VALLEY RAILWAY.

Yesterday, the half-yearly general meeting of the
proprietor! of this railway was held at the offices, West
Strand, Sir It. PRICE, Dart., M.P., in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that
the bill introduced last session received the royal assent on
the Ist of August. The interests of both classes of share-
holders being now identical, the directors will be enabled
in future to attend to the dew lopinent and improvement of
the undertaking by cheapening and facilitating the traffic
over the line. Arrangements long sought fur by the present
traders have been entered into, after many and urgent
solicitations, for the reduction of the high rates of tolls
charged upon the line as compared with other lines in th.,
district; and, as the present low price of iron must prevent
persons having the command of capital from embarking in
or prosecuting the work in the valley at such a disadvantage
they directors consider they have exercised a sound discre-
tion in making a reduction in the tolls, and they sincerely
hope and expect that the result will be highly beneficial to
all the interests concerned. The net disposable balance is
2,1921., out of which the directors recommend the payment
of a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. They
regret the retirement of Mr. Mathew=, their late chairman,
who had rendered considerable service to the company.
The capital account showed that a sum of 113.0391. had
been expended, and that there was a balance to the credit
of the company of 2,523/. From the revenue account it
appeared that the receipts fur the half-year had been
4,030/., and the expenditure 2,0.15'., leaving a balance of
1,9721., which, added to the balance from last half-year of
2191., left an amount available for dividend of 2,1911.
Ou the motion of the Chairman, the report was adopted ;
the directors were authorised to hand over to the South
IVales Company a Llynvi Valley bond bearing interest at
4 per cent. in liquidation of their claim in respect of 6,300/.
subscribed to the undertaking by the South Wales Com-
pany, and declaring a dividend for the half-year at the rate
of 4 per cent. per annum.
A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Mathews for
the able manner in which he had conducted the affairs of
the company during the time he presided at the board.
The ltev. It. Knight gave notice of a motion which he
intended to propose at the next half-yearly meeting, to the
effect that the management be remodelled, the number of
directors be reduced to seven, and the remuneration to 200/.
per annum; and that the offices be removed from London
to sonic place in the locality of the line.
After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting
separated.

FLORISTS' FLOWERS.

The routine lately advised may be strictly ailherel to.
carnations and picotee layers will require occasional water-
ing through a tine rose, in order that the soil may not be
displaced. Examine the pods, to ascertain whether
there arc any symptoms of seed; if not, cut the fhwer-
stalks down to tho stool or crown of the plant. Con-
tinue to plant out pinks and pansy cattiow, and nark
seedlings of the latter. l'ansy seed may likewise be own
now for early spring blooming. Make ready a bet for
offset tulips; this should be well done, for the anntear
should recollect that his maiden bulbs, reared on his
offset bed, are his rorps de reserre, from whence his
main bed is strengthened. Great care should he male
in its preparation ; maiden decayed turf, leaf•moubl, and
river sand, should enter largely iu its composition ; we think
that dung is injurious unless very old, indeed, and then
should be used with great cart. Dahlias, us we observed
last week, are now engrossing almost every rare; but wa
should not let present beauties make us forget ad fa-
vourites. The Auricula and Polyanthus, for iustance, win
during the dry weather of the latter part of this month and
September require careful watering, with all flare littla
attentions, as to keeping clean from weeds, decaying foliage,
anti insects, which is so often inculcated, but too often
neglected.

'Neal I want to make myself a trailer in order to ba
a bankrupt, and you know I sold some posts to you. I have
got a book of the bankrupt laws and looked at everything I
have to fear.' " The result of Smith's study seemed
to he that Mr. Ambrose Haynes, who had acted es his
attorney since 1819, and had in consequence a large bill of
costs against him, petitioned that be should be adjudged
bankrupt ; having produced one Rutinan, who could not
write, to swear that Smith was a timber dealer, he procured
tho adjudication. Rutman had since sworn that ho kuew
nothing of Smith being a dealer in timber. Having pro-
cured the adjudication of bankruptcy, the activity of Mr.
Haynes ended, for he did not appear at the first meeting to
prove his debt, nor had he since proved it, but left Mr.
Islackley to prove and vote himself assignee under tho
bankruptcy, which Haynes must have known was invalid,
for it must have been impossible but that he must have been
well aware that Smith was not a trader. Mackley, having
began to perform his duty as assignee, discovered that there
was no evidence of Smith having been a trader
upon which he called upon Mr. Ilolcorube, who had acted
as solicitor for Haynes, " to let him know in detail the
evidence on which he acted," to which Mr. Holcombe re-
plied, " I beg to state that I consider your application most
unusual; " nor had Mr. Haynes taken any steps since to
prove that Smith was a dealer in timber. Under these ex-
traordivary circumstances and others, which it was not ne-
cessary to detail, Mr. Macklcy stated upon his oath that he
believed, " That the adjudication was not obtained bona
fide, or with a view to the distribution of the assets of the
said Smith, but for the purpose of defeating him, Mark-
ley, of his said judgment debt." lie entirely adopted Mr.
Mackley's view, but whether he was right or not it was
quite clear that there was no evidence of Smith having been
a timber merchant. The adjudication must therefore be
annulled, and the petitioning creditor must pay the costs.

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company
am held at the Lion hotel at Shrewsbury Mr. 0. Clone,
M.P., is the chair. The secretary tread the following re-
pot:—
" In the report submitted to the shareholders on the 26th
February last, at the half-yearly general meeting, the di. I
rectors stated that, under the arrangements made with Mr.
Brassey, they expected to complete and open the line from
Shrewsbury to Ludlow by the end of the present year. The
progress made in the works between these places, sheen
that this may be accomplished. The works also at the tie-
eel at Dinmore Hill, about eight miles from Hereford, are
progressing rapidly. An set Ms been obtained in the prams*
session of parliament to make a railway nom Olossembse
I to Hereford, the works of wig* year directors are fro
formed, will be immediately emlnenead, cal yemessted
with such energy that its cons may be esasetal by
"the end of next year. This way wt epee a ondseees
communication with yours to the sea* of Eashod, and
must have the effect of greatly inerembig the hale over
your line. It is also a matter of much etregretedelha to the
shareholders of this company, that the Heaven and Aber-
'sonny Railway Company has within this bet ha months
been so actively engaged in prosecuting that undertaking,
that there is every reason to hope and believe the line front
Pontypool to Hereford will be completed by the time your
railway is opened to that city and the communication be-
taste South Wales and the Sfersey be thus perfected. In
iserselusion the directors be the attention of the share-
boWn to the obvious and absolute necessity that all calls
Is arose should be immediately paid up, and that the call
payable on the Ist September next should be promptly met.
The statement of accounts showed that there has been
received 119,8911. 17s. W., and expended about 84,0001. ;
leaving a balance ;in band amounting to 29,1001. Under
the items of expenditure are 27,210/. for works, and 15,2201. '
for land and compensation.
The CHAIRMAN moved the formal resolution for the
adoption of the report.
1 he lion. It. H. CLIVE. M.P., seconded the resolution.
The motion, after a brief discussion, was carried unani-
mously.
Mr. WILLTAIIt4, banker, of Chester, moved, and the Hon.
It. 11. Cr.tvir, M.l'. seconded a 'violation, re-electing Mr.
Bailey, Ml'., Sir It. Jenkins, and the other retiring dieter
tors, which was carried.
The usual allowance to the auditors was increased 201.
The SECRETARY (Mr. Roberts) announced that the
directors had dielined to receive any allowance for their
services since the act was obtained in 1816; whereupon Mr.
Stress moved that Vneir future allowance be 6001.
annually.
This was agreed to, and the huskies, terminated with a
plimentary vote to the chairman and board of directors.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANR, SATURDAY MORNING.
The transactions in colonial produce have this week been
rather limited ; at one time the market was extremely de-
pressed, owing to the extensive failure which took place,
but latterly more firmness has been shown, and prices ge-
nerally ha 'e not receded. Of Sugar very small public sales
have been held, and for most kinks former rates have been
obtained. Coffee was fiat at the commencement of tho
week, but bus recovered, and a fair business has been done
at prices which fully support the previous currency. For
Saltpetre there has been less demand, and the fine qualities
are rather lower. The Tea market is now well supplied
sound common Congous keep their prices, but the lino
kinds and also good greens arc flat.

ARRIVAL AT BALMORAL.

Her Majesty, after leaving liolyrood yesterday morning,
proceeded to Torbert, and thence proceeded by the Scottish
Midland to Forfar. She was received by the cheers of
thousands of persons at Forfar, and by salutes from the
Castle. Along the route to Stonehavcn the royal party
proceeded by the Aberdeen Railway, and arrived at
forty-five minutes past twelve. The new route, which is
14.11 miles from Edinburgh, was selected to save the
Queen the inconvenience of travelling over the infe-
rior roads from Cupar Angus to Balmoral. ller Majesty
having partaken of luncheon at the station, which was
fitted up for the purpose as well as the limited accommo-
dation would allow, proceeded on her way to Balmoral in
an open carriage, accompanied by Prince Albert, the
Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal. The wind
blew keenly across the mountains, but the Royal
party encountered it without hesitation; the other
Royal children followed in a close carriage alone.
Lord John Russell, Sir James Clark, Colonel Gor-
don, and others had no better means of con-
veyance than an inconvenient char-a-Lane. The pre-
mier took the front place, and prepared for a drive of live
hours in the teeth of the blast. Banchory Day., the Dee
side, formed the terminus of the first stage—a long 15 miles.
The cortigo wound olong by the Dee, which presents end-
less variety of scenery, through Kincardine, Charleston,
and Aboyne to Balloter, where it crosses over to the south
bank. .

At half-past 6 o'clock the Queen and Royal party arrived
at Balmoral.

GERMANY.

I
The Det4Prelt• .11•1;,rm has a leading article on the
revision of the Band. It recommends a " powerful I
executive," a "diet's council," to control and sane- 1
tion the acts of the executise, and a " voting by
majoritv." This plan, it is said, coincides with the '
lroposiiion of the Mceklcnburgh minister, von
ulow. The Prussian papers speculate much upon
the immense military advantage Austria has ob-
tained, in case a war should eventually break out, by
the strong military position she has now taken up in
the north; in fact they hay that Prussia i.placed at
such disadvantage, that should events require it, she
would be obliged to make almost any concessions to
avoid war. An assembly of - notables," it is reported,
is to be summoned to Flensburg, to deliberate
on the settlement of the claims of Denmark.
The correspondent of the Eol"er Zeitarg says, that
the nomination of these " notable." will be virtually
in the hands of the King of Denmark. It is not
very likely that their propie itions. and the resolutions
of the commissioners; of the lluud, will very well
agree together. Count Schwerin, the president of
the Second Chamber, was present at a lute soiree of
the Minister Manteufel.

A further consignment from India has taken place.
The Madras government Ota-tee of the 13th Dec.
contains a report of the proceedings of a meeting of
the central committee of that presidency, held on the
27th June, in connection with the Great Exhibition
of 1851, well deserving of the publicity it has re-
ceived through the highest official channel. The
Madras government were impressed apparently with
the conviction that something much more valuable
than even the specimens themselves forwarded to the
Exhibition might be collected along with them in
the shape of information regarding the raw material
and manufactures of India.
Lists of varied and minute queries were, there-
fore, forwarded to each committee, and these, with
the answers, now appear in the Gavle*. The
local committees seem to have become im-

each set about collecting, not only as many
specimens as they could procure, but as much in-

On the Contraction of Locks and Keys. By John Citron,
Amoy. Inst. C.E.
A reprint of a paper re ad before the Institution of Civil
Engineers on the construction of lucks and keys. It con-
tains much curious information ou the suldeet, and has
the value of all such treatises prepared by a man much inte-
rested in the subject he writes upon. Of course the
locks of which Mr. Chubb is the inventor come in for
notice; and there seems little doubt but they are entitled
to stand as the last and greatest improvement we bare at
present obtained in the construction of these guards
against robbery.

VIE SAILORS STRIKE AT SUNDERLAND. —Two
war steamers, the Hecate and Trident, am aneheresl in the
Tyne, but as yet there has been no occasion to send one to
the Wear. On Tuesday, the Kate, of Bristol, sailed from
the South Docks. As she was the first vessel to proceed to
sea on a foreign voyage since the strike, some anxiety was
felt fur her sate departure, and every precaution was taken
by the authorities to prevent mischief; the Mayor (Was.
' Mordey, Esq.) li. Tanner, Esq. (chairman of the
Marine Board), and two heats manned by the river police,
were in attendance. A large crowd of men on strike
assembled at the dock gates and greeted the Kato
with groans and hisses ; these were responded to
by the crew with hearty cheers, and shoutsj of "Two
pounds fifteen, and that is more than lots of you'll
get! " lleyvmd this there was no (Wither annoyance.
On Wednesday afternoon, the second mate of the brig
Peckliffe, on coming ashore from bis vested at the North
Dock, was pursued by a group of sailors standing near. lie
fell several times, and was very roughly treated by the num;
his hat was knocked over his eyes, and he was otherwise
a.saaulted. Ultimately he succeeded in getting free from the
crowd, and ran to the Ferry-boat Landing, where Serjeant
Gunn took him under his protection. Ile seemed much
exhausted. A reward of 101. has been offered fur the ap-
prehension of the offenders. On Wednesday evening a
number of sailors were going about the town begging.—

FRANCE.

Few who direct their attention to the Exhibition
of Industry have thought of the effect which it may
have upon many important branches of manufacture
in this country, according as we excel or arc sur-
passed by the products which are common to us and
other nations. As to our chances in competition.
opinions differ; but our object here is only to call
attention to the opinions put forth by M. Schneider,
the present Minister of Trade in France. That
gentleman, at the first meeting of the jury charged
with examining the products of France, expressed
himself most decidedly to the effect that the present
was no common trial. On it depended not only the
renown of French produce, but the fate of French
exports. Each of the exhibitors should therefore
become penetrated with the idea that England and
the whole world would take this as the rand
trial of excellence by which in future to judge
the degree of perfection and advance of
French industrial produce. A triumph of French
manufacture would be inevitably followed by
an immense developement of exportation ; a check
or semi-success only would be most detrimental to
French trade. Foreigners would not take into ac-
count any motives tending to deprive the French
port ion of the Exhibition of the kiley it should pos-
sess; they would not admit in abatement of an ex-
treme opinion, the refusal of certain French manufac-
turers to send their goods to England; their judg-
ment would be without appeal, and would deprive
France for a long time of the developement which it
considers as the necessary consequence of her presence
in the great Industrial Rxhibition of London. This
opinion, although it involves the mere question of
excellence, unconnected with that of price, is calm-
hate to cause much reflection. In reference to the
refusal of certain manufacturers to send to London,

this part of the minister's speech is understood to
refer, amongst others, to the great establishments of
Baccarat and St. Louis, whose glass is asserted by the
French to rival that of Bohemia. It is, pea-baps.
a somewhat overweening notion oa the. part af. tba

The prefecture of Algeria has forwarded by the steam
boat of the 20th ult. the several prdsluets of ugrieulture and
native manufactures collected by its means. and considered
of sufficient importance by the departmental jury to be sent
to the London Exhibition. Among them are to be re-
marked some very line samples of cotton, of cochineal, of
opium, of oleaginous grains from the central nursery, of
raw and manufactured tobacco, the produce of native and
European culture. A magnificent collection of indigenous
woods, collected by the skilful and intelligent M. Boyer,
Guard-General of the Forests. A collection of mine-
rals, of copper, iron, lead, and nickel, the produce
of all the mineral veins known in the province
of Algeria. Very fine samples of raw silk, similar
to that which has recently obtained such great success in
the markets of France. The Prefect of Algeria has aptly
caused tome magnificent stuffs for dresses and furniture to
be manufactured with these silks, by the best workmen of
Lyons, and which give a high idea of the first essays of our
agrieultunll industry. The colonists who arc admitted to
exhibit are M.M. Mcreurin anti Curter, for oil ; Pelliseier,
Reverchon, Chuttart, Morin, and Moloch°, for cotton, to-
bacco, flax ; Frederic, for opium ; Marchal, for wheat. M.

a very large proportion of wall surface, the goods from that
district would be virtually excluded if thin plan were
adopted. Mr. Ripley, on the part of Bradford, said the
proposed plan of swattUirs would nut in any way answer for
the proper display of the Bnalford goods. After a little
converisstion, it was resolved that, of the unappropriated
space in the allotments Halifax should have 41M Set, and on
