In Groceries and Oilman's Store. 'll le is a fa 4. trade
doing; We report sales of pearl sago at 7d ; en:Tants at 111.1;
raisins at 8(1. The approach of Christmas has gie n an
impetus to this trade, but the arrivals have bean heavy. There
is at present considerable activity in the candle market, and
prices have risen rapidly within the last day or two. Sales of
Priee's Belmonts No. I have been made as high as Is 41,1,
but today the demand and price have declined, and Is 41 is
the outside closing price. Hale's sperm have brought is 21c1,
and patent composition have changed hands at same rate.
COFFEE is steady at quotations. The cargo recently
arrived is held firmly. Hops are rather declining, arrivals of
the new crop being shortly expected. American are held for
81 to 1041.

SuGins we quote lower, the finer sorts having suffered
most from late and immediately expected arrivals. - Five
cargoeA from Mauritius are to hand since Monday last, of which
three have been competed for by auction. The supply of
brown sugars be;tl,,o. previously scanty, and the parcels art ived
consktii:g chiefly of low to fine grocery descriptions, the better
sampl: s were parted with at heaviest reduction. Prices ranged
as follows d, £lO to £43 lOs ; middling to
fine yellow, £3B to £4l ; middling to fine brown, £35 ro
£36 I Os. China sugar has fallen £2 per ton. Tea, good
congests, maintain prices. Hysonskin has been sold at £3 15s
per chest.. Gunpowder tea has declined slightly on previous
rates,

Puovr,loNs : During the week considerable speculation has
been evinced in butter, bacon. and hams, hallo former par-
ticularly, of which sales were reported at Is 4d. To-day the
lively demand has declined, and prices have receded to is 20
and is 3d. Good parcels are, however, readily saleable, and
prices of all in prime condition are likely to rise. There are
very large stocks of inferior and damaged provisions, which
cannot be sold at any price. We would once more impress
upon shippers the absolute necessity of taking duo care in
preparing goods for shipment, and in sending articles only of
first quality. American pork has been sold at £4 10s.
Am rican beef and (Goshen) butter are dull. Cheese : A sale
of psime North Wilts at is 2-1.1 is reported, American is dull
at 811. Gruyere has realised 1, to is 21. Salmon in
111) tins has been sold at is 7d to is lid. The best white
lead alone is saleable, and does not realise higher than 38s.
Linseed oil, Chinese and Colza oils, are in better demand.
Tin plates, and zinc for roofing, are scarce, and wanted.
Corrugated iron, light only, is worth £4O to £42. Salts of
Muntz's patent metal have been made at is Id to is 21; of
pipe lead, at £33 ; of shot assorted, at £2B to £3O, and of
blister steel, at £45 to £55.

Timber has fallen in value owing to large arrivals, but the
demand being brisk there is a prospect of the markot rallying.
White deals, 9 by 3, are worth 6,1 d, and It by 3,7-3 d per
foot.

Flour of Sulphur is worth 3d per lb. Tartaric acid, as well
as castor oil, in halt puts, are lower. Soda ash has been sold
at £l7 to arrive in the Bay.
BOOTS AND SHOES, ENGLISH : Ladies' goods are in demand
at 20 to 40 per cent. advance. Gentlemen's at about 10 per
cent. on genuine invoice. American : Well assorted invoices
of seasonable goods are worth from 30 to 40 per cent. advance.
Hungarians are doll. The market for soft goods is at present
stagnant, and will remain so until the [piing goods arrive.

WOOL, TALLOW, AND HIDES : The sales by auction ot,
Thursday last, a; which about 1,500 bales of wool were
brought forward, went off with less animation than has been
shown for coma time back ; this may have been caused by the
London mail being made up on that day, added to the incle-
ment weather, as the advices per Royal Charter were of an
encouraging character as to the anticipated results of the next
London sales. Prices were, vit. :—For superior fleece, 19 d
to 22d ; fair to good, 17d to 19J ; inferior to average, 15:1 to
16,11 d ; scoured, 20th to 231; handwashed and slips, 15d to
17d ; greasy fleece, 91 to 1111. Private enquiry has been
considerable, and we have had some heavy transactions,
amounting to about 600 bales, in addition to our sale on
Thursday, when 22.1, was realised on one superior clip, in
prime condition. Tallow : We offered a small parcel on
Thursday to public competition, when mutton realised £4O 6,
per ton ; and beef, £35 to £3B. Hides : Demand sill con-
tinues, and parcels of town cured offorieg are immediately
moved. •

LABOUR MARKET : The setting in of the hay harvest
and the near approach of the grain harvest, have caused a
demand for agricultural labour in the provinces, which is
taking off the hands offering in town. Good labourers are
finding ready employment. Female servants, with refer-
ences, are in great demand, and secure high wages. With
rations—Married_ couples. without families. from £75 to

MELBOURNE GOLD CIRCULAR.—The price of gold has
kept firm, with a rather upward tendency. On the
gold fields the competition among the bankers is suoh
that they are paying at present prices close on two
per cent., whre their rates for -selling drafts is only
ore per cent. premium. Gold is now 76s 61 to 781 9d
Our report for the week from the various gold fields is con-
densed into the following:—That deserted and deprived
of Sub Treasury Avoca has been resuscitated by parties
having struck paying ground, and that an old and favourable
lead has been again hit upon. At Ballarat they were
succeeding a= well as coull be desired, At Dunolly new
life had been imparted by fresh alluvial ground, and paying
reefs having been discovered. The report from the Ovens
is favourable, both in regard to the production of alluvial
and rich quartz reef gold. At most of the fields the digging
community, while attending to theiri ndividual interests, are
not forgetful of their social and political condition ; the
local mart, sanatory, and other public measures being
agitated at the different settled dig zings The escort for
the week is slightly under the aver age. Number of persons
arrived,l6os; number that have left, 370 : increase, 1235 ;
for the year, 18,211. The escorts have brought from
Mount Alexander and Bendigo 21,152 ounces; Ballarat,
16,308 ; Maryborough, 6 564 ; Daisy Hill, 369 ; Avoca,
251: amount this week, 44 644 ; and this year, 2,503,833.

THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT.—The present, which is the
fourth parliament of Queen Victoria, and the sixth of the
if reformed" parliaments, was elected in July, 1852, under
the auspices of the Earl of Derby, then at the head of the
Conservative administration. It would not, according to
the Septennial Act, die a natural death until the 25th of
August, 1859 (the day at which the writs for the new
parliament were made returnable), but since the year 1826
no parliament, according to Mr. Dod, has approached its
extreme limit. The present parliament, if dissolved
without any material delay, will have failed to attain the
age of five years by some four or five months. The Rus-
sell parliament, elected in July and August, 1847, lasted
four years seven months and twelve days, and the parlia-
ment which placed the late Sir R. Peel in office in the year
1841 lasted as long as five years and eleven months, or
very nearly six years. This • was the longest of the
reformed parliaments, the shortest having been the first,
elected at the end of the year 1832, the age of which was
one year and eleven months on►y. It will be found that
the average duration of the six reformed parliaments
elected from 1832 to 1852 has been, as nearly as possible,
four years, supposing the present parliament to be
dissolved this spring.
SUPPLY op COTTON.—A lecture will be delivered this
afternoon, b, J. B. Smith, Eeq , M.P. for Stockport, on the
question, so important for this district, " How are we to
obtain increased supplirs of cotton ?" . Mr. Smith will be
accompanied by Mr. Otway, M P., Mr. Shaw, and Mr,
Dickinson, gentleman who take a deep iotere4 in the
subject. The excitement of political topics at the present
juncture creates a powerful divergion in the public mind,
to the detriment of all other qwstions. Let it be remem-
b?red, however, that the fate of political parties, and cf
almost all political measures, for the net half dozen years,
is of scarcely greater importance than the subject of to-day's
lecture. Lord Palmerston will not greatly make, nor, if
we keep a good 100k-out, greatly mar the interests of the
nation, but an inadequate supply of cotton would infallibly
lead to the most deplorable consequences. We trust the
lecturer will be repaid for the gratuitous task he has under-
taken, by a large and attentive audience. The lecture
itself is fixed for an early hour, so that parties residing at a
distance will be able to attend without inconvenience. We
understand that Mr. Smith has accepted an invitation to
deliver the same leoture to-morrow (Wednesday) at Liver•
pool.—llianchester Examiner of yesterday.
