•
MOLASSES, Rum, AND COFFEE : Nothing has occurred.
TF,A : The transactions have not been large, with few
sellers of common Congou under 921 per lb.
RICE : Our market remains flat.
SALTPETRE: We have nothing further to notice.
HEMP: The Bombay offered by auction was not sold.
JUTE : 250 bales damaged found buyers at irregular
rates.

SAGO FLOUR: 150 bags are reported at 21s per cwt.
CORN : We had again a good attendance of the trade at
our market of this day, with a more general and extending
inquiry for most descriptions of wheat, and having a mani-
festly improving feeling on the part of buyers as well as
sellers, we are enabled to establish advanced quotations for
all sorts; the business done is to a good extent, chiefly if
not altogether for home consumption, and we raise our
currencies fully 4d to Gd per bushel above those of this day
se'nnight. Upon a fair supply cf farmers' wheat this
m irning. sales were more freely effected, and an advance of
3d per 701hs over the rates of last week were acquired.
The demand for flour improves daily, and may be quoted is
6d per sack and is per brl higher. Barley in steady request
and ld per bushel dearer. Beans, upon a fair enquiry,
commands 6d per qr advance. Oats and oatmeal in better
inquiry, but without decided improvement in value. Indian
corn is not freely offered ' • holders require 6d per qr advance,
but the sales are checked in consequence, and the business
of the day in this article is only of moderate amount.

Mr. Satchell : I mean what I say exactly.
Mr. Whitty said from the insinuations which were
made it would unquestionably appear, that if Mr. Fair-
hurst or he attempted to offer any observation upon any
public act performed by the chaplain,or any officer of the
institution, they must do so under the very unpleasant
imputation, that it was done because of their religious
difference. It was not the chaplain against whom he
spoke, or Mr. Fairhurst spoke, that day. Mr. Fairhust had
removed whatever observations he had made upon the
chaplain, and applied them to the principle, which was
sanctioned by the committee, of enlisting boys at such an
early age in the army. Mr. Fairhurst had made a very
honourable, and very fair explanation as regarded the
chaplain. He (Mr. Whitty) would not utter a single
disrespectful word as regarded the chaplain, but he had
a very strong opinion that the committee should not
sanction such a course as had been pursued. He had no
objection to the chaplain been charged with the moral
and religious training of the children, but he had a very
great objection to the committee forcing upon the chap-
lain communications with recruiting depots, or to forcing
upon him the superintending of industrial occupations in
the school—things which a chaplain could not possibly
understand. They were not carrying out the principle of
a very wise and popular saying—" the right man in the
right place " when they put a minister of the church to
superintend tailoring, and to hold communications with
recruiting sergeants. (Hear. hear.) Making him master
tailor and master clothier, as well as recruiting superin-
tendent, was quite absurd ; and when appended to that
long chain of occupations they found the collegiate term
of Bachelor of Arts, it made a ludicrous anomaly. (Hear,
hear, and Oh, oh.)
Mr. Bairstow asked when any person in town required
a boy as a servant or apprentice, to whom was applica-
tion to be made?
The Clerk said to the committee.
Mr. Bairstow : Then why did not the recruiting ser-
geant apply to the committee ?
Mr. Fairhurst : The chaplain wrote to him.
Mr. Bairstow thought Mr. Coates, the governor of the
schools, was the person through whom the application
should have been made.
YESTERDAY'S MARKETS. Mr. Denton thought the committee ought to deal fairly
