PARLIAMENTARY TRIFLING.

Ma. HEARD= is not to be left in solitary
oonsp:cuousness as the oontravener of good taste in
his parliamentary questions. Mr. CAVIINDISII
BEavurcx aspires to stand by his side. The hon.
member for Athlone not only sinned himself, but
his example is the cause of sin in others. The
following notice on the paper of the House of
Commons is not to be paralleled oven in this ex-
ceptional session :
On going into committee of Supply, Mr. Bann= to
call attention to a paragraph of a letter addressed by the
right hon. gentleman the member for South Lancashire to
a parson unknown, and dated the 26th of May last, which
paragraph is in the terms following :—" Mr. linsittonr is
"no supporter of Mille or of the liberal party. So
" far as I know he has voted against us upon
" tho most interesting and important questions
" czcept that of the Irish Church;" and to ask the right
hon. gentleman whether, on the 22nd March, 1867, a meet-
ing of members of the House of Common@ belonging to
the Liberal party was not held at his private residence for
political purpoisia, and whether the hon. member for
Athlone was not present at that mooting, and whether he
did not there attend at the summons and with the consent
of the right hon. gentleman.

Even if the Sem&xim allows the question to
be put, at we can hardly suppose Mr.
GLADSTONE all answer it. Another example of
a class of questions which ought to be settled else-
where than in the House of Commons is
found in a notice by Captain PACK-Bzuzsman,
viz., that he will ask the GRIEF SECRETARY for
IRELAND on Tuesday next, " Whether he is aware
" that the gentleman acting temporarily as Banger
" of the Curragh has made a claim for 1/. for each
" horse entered to run for the Quintres Plate at the
" Curragh in April last, and also for 5/. from
" the winner, as fees due to him ; and, on what
" authority this gentleman makes Bich i claim."
Both professions being represented in the House,
it might be possible for hon. gentlemen of a
peculiar turn of mind, if such queries as the fore-
going are encouraged, to get their law and their
medical advice in the same way.

ASCOT MEETING.--(THIS DAY.)

ROYAL VISIT TO THE COURSE.

The" opening day" of Royal Ascot has dawned
most ausgsmoosty. In consequential of the greater dis-
tance of Ascot from London, and there being only one
direct route, the terminus at Waterloo this morning was
the busy forego of traffic to the heath, and train after
train was despatched from this station tie Richmond and
Staines, to Ascot.
Though somewhat shorn of its glories owing to the
opening of the railway from Staines to Ascot, the royal
borough is yet the rendezvous of the thousands who prefer
a abort ride through the cool and leafy recesses of
Windsor Park to pertornikig the whole trip by railway.
For these, the Great Western Railway offers every
facility, and large numbers of visitors came down by
the special trains this morning en mole for Ascot. Flies,
omnibuses, vans, drags, and every conceivable description
of vehicle were premed into requisition and there was a
continuous stream of traffic up Queen Anne's Ride
towards the course.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales, accompanied by the Prince and Princess Christian
of Schleswig-Holstein, and attended by a brilliant com-
pany, will drive to the course in "Asoa state." The
loyal stand has been prepared for their accommodation.

had been revealed in the very commein eia•nt is

teen formal theses, defining the true relations of
church and state. This reminds me that a rather
curious quarrel has broken out among the mem-
bers of the Synod 4,f the Berlin Circle. Mr. Lieu,
a clergyman of rationalistic views, had pohli,h,st
a report read at a meeting of the synod held last
autumn, entitled " Condition of the Moral anf
Religious Life of Berlin, is Synodical ltepor."
Among other thing he stated in it that the 01.1
biblical views of the creation were no longer h.-Id
in the church. This produced a, prot,-41 fr.dn
orthodox members of the synod, and also ~euts-
ioned a sharp debate at a later meeting of the
synod, in the course of which Mr. aiedh-r

WORKING YEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE
UNION.

The sixth annual meeting was held yesterday at
Rutter-hall, under the prendeney of the Earl of CARNIar
vox. Amonst those who occupied seats on the platform
were the Earl of Lichfield, Lord Lyttelton, the Hon.
Dudley Fortescue, M.P., the Hon. Auberon Herbert, Sir
Geo. Young, Mr. Hamilton Hoare, Mr. C. S. Roundel',
the Rev. W. Sony, Mr. Edwd. Hall, F.&A., Mr. Ernest
Woel, Mr. John W. Probyn, Mr. Samuel Smiles, the Rev.
Mr. Wahond, M.A., &c.
The report, an abstract of which was read by Mr. HODO.•
DOW Paarr, gave the following statistics and results:—
" The number of working men's clubs and inittitutes;i'of the
existence of which the council areat preeent aware is 312.
Aooording to returns received from 86 clubs, the average
number of members amounts to 128 to each dub. Of the
86 club sending returns, 64 report themselves as
self-supporting, or very nearly so; and of these
40 are entirely self-aupporting. In these 86 clubs
sending returns, there have been 106 educational
classes in operation during the pant winter. Twenty-
eight clubs report that provident societies of
various kinds have either bees formed by their members
or hold meetings at the dub. Nearly all state that they
have had various lectures and entertainment* during the
six winter months, aznountingto 239 lecture and 648 en-
tertainments for the 85 dubs.'

The Noble Czar: wait remarked that one of the great
benefits conferred by working men's clubs lay in the fact
that they steed out as the abernative, se to speak, and the
rivals of the public-home and public-house influence.
Touching the question of the introduction of spirituous
Norm and games of chance into working men's clubs, he
said he thought the disposal of it most be left to be deter-
mined by the good sense of the managing committees, and
the members themselves, who felt more than anybody else
that the eredit and Domes, of these institutions were at
stake, in the matter. With regard to polities, be thought
it would be a great misfortune if party politics were
allowed to come in, and give a colour -and complexion to
the composition et the clubs.
The adoption of the report was then moved by Lord
LTITILTON, and wooded by Lard Licatesmn, both of
whom endorsed the views expressed by the noble chair-
man.

The Ray. Mr. Boras, in supporting the resolution,
took the opportunity foe the purpose of explaining that
his retirement from the pennon of honorary secretary
was solely owing to the fact that his views with regard to
the working of the institution were so opposed to those en-
tertained by others officially connected with it, that it was
undesirable that he should hold once any longer.
Mr. C. S. Roundel!, Mr. George Howell, the Hon.
Anberon Herbert, Sir Geo. Young, and other gentlemen,
then delivered dllOlOll advocating the claims of the in-
stitution, and the proceedings terminated. with a cordial
vote of thanks to the chairman.
Papers dealing with subjects connected with
men's clubs and institutes will be read at the 8:714/
Arta this morning. The Hari of Lichfield is announced to
take the chair.

POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.
THE FITEINITZ SICTSITILS lIIRICIOLZD 2011•000.
In the case of ie•Cli4 Norm, a f amigo. r, who was yester-
day convicted of senuggling 6 cwt. of shag tobacco, and
fined in the sum of 4601.-,
Mr. William Peyton, the surveyor of customs, at
Custom-house Quay, appaiwed before the Lord Mayor
this morning, and dated that a letter had been received
from the Custom-house agnate at Ostend, who had
shipped the six bales of hope in which the tobacco was
concealed, stating that the goods had been sent by a Mr.
Noce, end that two former shipments bad been made by
the same person.
The Lord Mayor said he had no doubt the prisoner got
the hales packed on the Continent, and came over from
°stead just ahead of the gooda is order that he might be
here to receive them. It was very likely that the prisoner
might make an application to the Commissioners of Cu-
tome for a mitigation of the penalty, and he suggested
that the letter should be shown to the commissioners, in
order that they might be in possession of the whole of the
facts.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Dem!is &Wren, a Labouring man, charged with
stabbing hie wife, Honorah Sullivan, at No. 33, Dudley-
street, was again brought before Mr. Knox.
The prisoner went up to his wife, from whom he had
been separated for three years, as she was speaking to some
relatives who had been to see her, and stabbed her in the
face. _ . _

Theophilus Bryant, house surgeon at the Charing-
ewes Ilospital, said that the injured woman had two
ROILIXIS-0110 in the cheek and the other in the nostrils,
and from the latter she bad lost a great deal of blood. The
wounds were inflicted with some sharp instrument, and
might have been inflicted with the piece of steel produced
(found in the prisoner's pocket).
The prisoner was committed for trial.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(rim ore cows oomusaroxpwr).
PARIS, MoirDAT Evanxo.

On Saturday, M. Emile 011ivier took the oppor-
tunity of the admission to the Chamber of the
new member for the Tarn, Baron Germ, to call
attention to the great discrepancy between a re-
cent speech of M. Pinard and the conduct of the
Prefect of the Tarn in reference to that election.
The Minister of the Interior, when apologising for
the system of official candidatures, had said
that, when one candidate was only separated
from another by differences of opinion On
special questions, th Cioverninent had no dealt
to bias the judgment of the electors; it was only
when there was an abyss or Rubicon between the
candidate and the Government that the prefects
would be instructed to use their influence against
, him. Well, Baron Gorase was a thoroughly dynastic
man, as his father had been before him. But he
opposed the Army Bill, and appealed to his father's
constituency as an independent candidate. The
Government, nevertheless, strained every nerve
against him, and the Prefect represented
him as an " enemy " of government. It is true
that when he was elected the Conetibdionnel said
it was no defeat, because Baron Gorse was tho-
roughly loyal to the empire, although he differed
with the administration on certain points. Here
then, if ever, was a case for the application of the
doctrine which M. Pinard had laid down. From
the fact that this doctrine bad not been
acted upon, M. Emile 011ivier drew the inference
that M. Pined was a minister for "parade,"
whose words were contrary to his acts, and he
added that the acts of the minister of the
Interior were performed by his subordinate, M.
Calley de St. Paul, who passes for a creature of
U. limber's. M. Pinard was not in the Chamber
when M. 011ivier made his speech ; but M. Bouher
made an angry reply, asserted that the utmost
unison prevailed among the Emperor's servants,
and desired to make a public declaration of his
respect and esteem for M. Pinard. This declara-
tion was obviously intended to be an answer to
rumours that the two ministers are not on
(peaking terms. To-day M. Pinard returned to
the subject on his own amount, and said that all
the ministers were at one, because they were
" deminated by the directing will of the Emperor."
The reason obviously does act show that in reality
d'art-noes of opinion--nay, even great jealousiee,
do not exist. This reason, moreover, tends to
ignore that ministerial responsibility for the sake
of covering the lilsoperor, which has been half pro-
mised by M. Bouher, ands felt to he arse of the
most pressing necessities of the time. It is very
carious that the two principal ministers sworn.

A majority of the House of Commons hu pronounced In

way from the resolution to take this question into consi-
deration with such a purpose to the desired destruction.
The bottle will be renewed when the first resolution is

other conditions. The country will have had time to
acquaint its representatives with UP opinions. It will

who have voted for the destruction of the Irish church—
that is, for the promotion of the Papal supremacy in Ire-
land—that they have utterly mistaken the spirit of their

THE PRINCE OP WALES.

IT is the fashion just now in cynical society—
and all society has become more or lees cynical—
to ascribe to the Heir to the Crown a taste,
amounting to a preference for the entertain-
ments of the Music Halle. We have no de-
sire to be a self-constituted defender of, or
apologist for, the Prince of Waxes, but we cannot
help feeling that, because he has on one or two occa-
sions visited a Music Hall, and listened to the
humours of Mr. ARTHUR LLOYD, "The Great
VANes," "The Jolly Nam," and "The Irresistible
" LITDOITENE," it is neither just nor generous
his tastes should be identified with those popu-
Jar performances. The PRINCE is a constant
Patron of the Theatre ; he frequently visits
the Opera. It would be more charitable
to say that his tastes lie in that direction, and it
would be more just; for his visits to Music Halls
have been few and exceptional. The matter then
resolves itself into the question whether a person
occupying the Prince of Waxes's position ought to
go to a filmic Hall at all. We can see no great
harm in his making himself acquainted with the
style of performances peculiar to those places. It
is no new thing for Kings and Caliphs to go among
the humblest of their subjects to see
and learn for themselves what is going on
in the ranks beneath them. The practice
has been oonunended, indeed, as tending to enlarge
and improve royal minds. We will not say that
the Panres's mind is lkelyeither to be enlarged or
improved by the contemplation of the art of the
Music Halls ; but it is certainly better that the
Panics, while he ia young and untrammelled by
the highest dignities of State should go about and
make himself acquainted with human life in all its
degrees and phases, than that he should shut him-
self up in a cold and exclusive atmosphere, which
is too often destructive of all human sympathy.
We have grown bard to please as regards the
conduct of royalty. Some people found fault
with the late Panics Cousour because he was toe
punctilious ; becalm he stood too much upon the
dignity of his position. For years past society
has been ringing with appeals to the Quail( to
return to London and give life and gaiety to the
court. And at the same time the Prime of
Wax= is censured because he exhibits a frank sad
free disposition, and takes a share in the amuse-
ments of the people. If he is a true man in all
other respects, we think the Panics will be no
worse a Kingfor having listened to the Great Vsigos
and the Jolly Nun once or twice. "

At five minutes to 12 one or two boats were
dimly. discerned in the distance. Discordant and
opposing cries were uttered as to whether or not
it was the rival crafts that were in view, the
mist on the river adding to the difficulty of
settling the question. In another moment the
fact was beyond dispute. After a transient
diffe-
rence of opinion as to which led, some persons
'strongly irmlioing for an instant to Cambridge,
there were unmistakeable and uncontradicted ex-
clamations of "Oxford wins," "Oxford's a mile
a head," "'Cambridge has lost again," and about five
minutes past 12—the two boats having been in
sight about three minutes—the Oxford boat shot
easily and gracefully between the Ship and
the tree on the opposite aide, which form
together the coveted goal, four or five lengths
ahead, amid loudly expressed exclamations of
disappointment that the contest had not been
keener. The Cambridge men did not appear
distressed. The Blue Riband of the Thames had
not been lost without a gallant struggle.

THE DEPTPORD FENIANS.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS.—(THIS DAY.
This morning, Maurice Lyttleton, engine fitter ;
James Richardson, shoemaker ; and Florence WiJarthy,
labourer, were brought up on remand at the Greenwich
police court, charged with treason-felony.
Mr. Wontner, jun., represented the crown.
Mr. Willis, instructed by Mr. Pulling, appeared for the
prisoners.
The prisoner Lyttleton, addressing Mr. Maude, said—l
wi-h to make a remark, your worship.
Mr. Maude—lf you have any application to make.
Lyttleton—l only with to know if it is a proper thing to
bring a prisoner into court without giving him • pint of
water to wash his face or a comb to arrange his hair. At
Maidstone we are fed like swine and treated like oxen.
Mr. Maude—The visiting justices are the persons to
whom representations of that kind should be made.
Lyttleton—Well, air, it seems as if England wan prosti-
tuting her vaunted liberties in the persecution of her Irish
subjects.
Mr. Maude—We are engaged in an important inquiry,
and it is better that we should not travel beyond it.
Lyttleton—l do not fear to speak of the terrorism I have
experienced.
Mr. )laude—l bare very little doubt that the visiting
justices of the prison will be ready to hear anything that
may be said.
Police-constable Yardley wamexamined, and repeated the
evidence given by him on the previous occasion.
Mr. Willis, referring to certain statements of the wit-
ness, objected to the reception of evidence which did not
refer directly to the alleged administration of an illegal
oath.
Mr. Maude said it was impossible for him to say at pre-
sent on what clone the prisoners would eventually, if at
be tried, and he thought he was bound to hear such
evidence as might be connected with the particular charge.
The a i toes', in cross-examination by Mr. Willis, said the
conversation to which he had sworn as having taken place
between Lyttleton and others was in Irish, or broken
Irish. He di .l not understand Irish. He bad not been
dismissed from the police, but he left the force in London
to go to Winchester, where he was employed by one of the
local bodies. He remembered charging • man with steal-
ing a wine glees. The grand jury threw out the bill. He
was positive a friend of his did not put the wine glue into
the man's pocket.
On being re-examined by Mr. Wontner be said the con-
ver,ation to which he bad referred was in an Irish accent
and not in the Irish tongue.
Inspector Iligby was then examined.
[flu examination was proceeding when our report left.]

' TENCIA
Lewis Iscsata, 26, described as a general dealer, of 8, St.
Jamsee.place, Ahigate, who was apprehended on a war
rant signed by the Lord Mayor, was brought up for further
examination on she charge of obtaining a large quantity of
goods by false pretences from Dlr. Edward Magnus, whole-
sale boot and shoemaker, carrying on business at No. 1, St.
Mary-axe.
Mr. Blontisgue Williams, barrister. instructed by Mr.
Joel Emanuel, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Sidney
solicitor, appeared fur the defence.
It appeared from the evidence taken at the former ex-
amination that the prisoner succeeded in obtaining at
various times since the 24th of October last 1101. worth of
goods from the prosecutor on the representation that
Mr. Tobey, of High-street, Borough, was indebted to
him a considerable sum of money, the actual state
of the matter being that the prisoner was indebted to Mr.
Tobey. On one occasion the prisoner also showed Mr.
Mnnus two county court summonses which he said he
had taken out against persons who were indebted to him,
but be afterwards admitted that be had taken them out
for fictitious debts merely as a " blind," and it was like-
wise shown that he had disposed of the goods for lees than
the price at which they had been sold to him by the
prosecutor.
Mr. Emanuel now stated that he had privately ex-
amined the witnesses for the prosecution and on his advice
the prosecutor now withdrew from the prosecution on the
ground that there would not be sufficient evidence to pro-
cure a conviction.
Alderman Salomona said the ease appeared to him to be
one which ought to go before a jury for trial. As the
Lord Mayor was better acquainted with all the facts than
he (Alderman Salomon) could be from simply reading
the depositions, he would remand the prisoner for a week
in order that hie lordship might deal with the matter as
he thought fit. Under the circumstances he would accept
ball, two sureties in 501. each, and the prisoner in 1001.
The required boil was produced, and the prisoner was
then liberated.

SAD DEATH IN THE STREET.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.)
Thin morning au inquiry was held at the Form-
tainTavem,Baldwin-street, City-road, by Mr. Flumptireys,
coroner, respecting the death of Robert Walsh, aged
79 years.
The deceased, who bad been a merchant's clerk, lived at
63, Horton-square. Although he was in his 80th year he
was an indefatigable p..destrian, walking habitually *29 or
30 miles daily. last year he walked to the Derby races
aad back again, and seemed none the worse for the exer-
tion. On Friday bat he left home for one of his usual
walks, saying to his wife that he would be back in the
evening. At half-past 3 o'clock, Police-constable Fall, 24.;
G, found him sitting exhausted and almost insensible on a
door-step in Cowper-street, City-road ;he was unable to
tell his name or address. The police surgeon. Mr. G. E.
Yarrow, was at once called to him, and he directed his
iumiddiate removal to the workhouse infirmary, where he
died soon afterwards.
Dr. Yarrow said that the cause of death was effusion of
serum on the brain, resulting partly, no doubt, from the
I condition of the lungs, which were diseased.
The jury returned a verdict " that the deceased was
found dyiug in the street, and did soon after die from
effusion on the brain."

THE REV. B. SPIKE.

The columns of our contemporaries contain every day
articles and letters treating of the extraordinary dis-
appearance of the Rev. Mr. Speke. "C. T. M.," a relative
of the family, and who writes from Morley's Hotel,
lays to-day that Mr. Spoke's portmanteau contains
no letters oe papers which give the slightest clue.
The appointment with the young man apprenticed in
London was fixed at Ecclestoo.square, and the man ar-
rived there at about 6.30, and waited about an hour ; he
then went away, leaving his address with the servants,
and this is now in the hands of the police. The nature of
the business which Mr. Spoke bad to attend to in West-
minster is not known. _ _

The Times observes that one point is still unexplained,
via., what Mr. Spoke intended to do between half-past 5
and half-past t ; that is, what the nature of his appoint-
ment in Westminster could be, and it is to this atten-
tion should be drawn. One of its correspondents,
" An Amateur Detective," supports the supposition that
in some way or other be wee decoyed into the low haunts
of the neighbourhood, and there made away with.
With great reluctance the Telegroph alludes to the
alternative of premeditated suicide and hints that there
kea been deran&ement in the family.

THZ BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.

The Tama summarises the information respecting the
above company which has cost, it says, Mr. Ling sex
months to =knout In 18.15 the clear revenue of the
line yielded an honest interest of between 4 and 5 per cent.
on the capital employed ; but at the present moment that
capital has been doubled, so that interest has to
be found on twice as much principal as before.
Yet Mr. Laing pledges himself that the second half of the
capital has not produced a single additional sixpence of net
profit. Under these circumstances, the dividend ought
imply to have been reduced to 24 per cent., but the new
capital was raised on conditions of preference, and the
original proprietors now get no dividend whatever ; and
the income is even insufficient to satisfy the preferential
claims. The money in the main has been spent on

unproductive branches, but Mr. Laing, while be admits
that there has been gross mismanagement, la evidently die-

voked and supported by the =admit of the established
companies themselves. fio greedy or timorous were
they that any projectors could count on them as

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.—OXFORD,
WIDNZSDAY EV ENll4o.—Fron, inquiries of the President
of the 0.U.8.C. this evening we learn the usual challenge
from Cambridge bad not arrived, although from the state-
ment of the sporting papers it would appear to have been
sent on Monday from Cambridge. The delay seems unac-
countable, although no doubts are entertained that it will
eventually arrive. The Oxford crew seems in rather an
unsettled date at present, but we learn that Meeara. Willan
Carter, Timm, and Menden of last year's successful
" Eight" are sure of places in the boat. Mr. Bowman,
the celebrated bow oar, seem, wavering between aquatics
and athletics, in the latter of which pastimes he equally
excels, but it is hoped he will be induced to resume his
old poet in the host, if his services are required by his
university, and from what we learn they are very essential.
Mr.Willan has dunmi the week been eased iu his coaching
duties by Mr. W. M. Wood, of University, another of
last year's eight, who has elected not to row again. The
Roods have incensed during the lass few days, and there
is great difficulty in the way of coaching the men, as Ulu

M. Rouher's speech of Feb. 4 is certainly one of
the greatest acts of the reign. It clearly shows
that the government decided only after painful
hesitation not to withdraw the press bill, but that.
having resolved to maintain it it does so thoroughly
and decidedly. It was only a few minutes before
the opening of the debate yesterday that the Em-
peror told M. Rouher what course he was to
take. Baron de Benoist, who commenced the
discussion with a furious speech against the bill,
voted for it when he found how decided M.
Rouher's language was. I was misinformed yes-
terday as to the names of the distinguished
seven who voted against the bill. They were—
Creusel, Delamarre, Edouard Fonld, Baron de
Geiger, Grapier do Cassagnac, Ronallier, awl
de Saint Paul. _ .

It is recorded in the Muniteur that M. Granier
de Cassagnac, when the ridiculous number was
announced, called them the " Seven wise men."

The Emperor, accompanied by an aide-de-camp
and an equerry, left the Tuileries yesterday after-
noon at 3, on horseback, and took a ride towards
the Rue Turbigo, the Halles, the Temple, the
Boulevards, and the Champs-Elysties. His Majesty
was received everywhere, says the Monitenr, with
the warmest demonstrations of sympathy.
The Duke de Persigny has been one of the most
assiduous attendants at the Chamber since the

The further bearing of this case, which was an action
against Mr. Benjamin Webster for an alleged breach of
contract with the plaintiff, who performed at the Olympic,
was resumed this morning, when the learned judge summed
up.
His lordship asked the jury the three following quer
tions :—First, did the defendant offer the plaintiff •
benefit during the season, and if so, in what piece ;
secondly, did he, by the rules of the theatre, give the de-
fendant three weeks' notice ; and, thirdly, did the plaintiff
refuse to play in the Tiro Peadelonts, and if so was Niggles
a first low comedy part. And in the event of their finding
for the plaintiff with regard to the benefit, what damages
had been sustained.
The jury having answered the questions in favour of the
plaintiff,
The learned judge directed a verdict to be entered for the

Owing to the satisfactory tenor of the advice,
from abroad and the continued plethora of money,
the markets for public securities remain firm, and
' the changes in prices are nearly all in an
upward direction. Consols are unchanged for
money, but have risen 1.16 per cent. for the
account. The monthly settlement will be
completed this afternoon. Railway stocks are in
good demand, and exhibit a further rise. Cale-
donian and Midland met with chief inquiry. Foreign
bonds show an upward tendency. The dealings
in banking, financial, and miscellaneous 'securities
are upon a very limited scale, chiefly in conse-
quence of the resolution of the dealers not to
quote shares involving a large liability.
The demand for money is moderate. and the rate
for the beat bills is unchanged at 11 to 1/ per cent.
There is rather more demand for loans in the Stook
Exchange at 1 per cent.
Consols are quoted 93/ to A for money, and
93 7-16 to 9-16, or 93A, for the' new amount
(March 5). The Three per Cents. Reduced and
New Three per Cents. were firm, at 93/ to 1.
Home railway stocks have experienced a fresh'
advance. Caledonian is in especial request, and
has risen lA per cent., viz., to 791. Midland is ft
higher, at 107 to 1, while several of the other
leading lines show an improvement of to A.
Metropolitan is quoted 1111 to 1 ; Great Western,
45/ to 461 ; London and North Western, 1181 to
