In the Australian advices, which we published
yesterday in reference to oilmen's stores, it was
remarked that the brands of some houses, and
amongst those named was Bull's, were being forced
off by auction. Our attention has been drawn to
the fact, that the Bull referred to is not the firm of
Bull, Elliott & Co., of this town, who are engaged
in the Australian trade, and who have shown us a
letter from their correspondent at Melbourne,.dated
the 23rd of May, and received by the Royal Char-
ter, from, which we make the following extract :
There being a firm, partly the same as your good selves
( * * ) in London, who have been shipping oilmen's stores
to this market, and which are greatly in disfavour, we think
it decidedly advisable to have your firm in full (Bull, Elliott
and Co.) Invoices should contain a list of the assortment
of everything contained in each case, and also mark outside
case, for instance, 2 doz. pickles, assorted; 2 doz. wines,
&c , &c., from Bull, Elliott and Co. We have given you
all our ideas for the perfection of your goods in our market,
and we trust that, if followed up, they will tend to much
good. Prejudices for particular brands are gradually dying
away, and you will soon have a good footing in the market.
,The Funds were a shade higher, and were well
supported through the day. Consols for account
closed at 95 7-16 to 95 9-16. The quotations would
have perhaps rated higher. if it had not been mak-
ing up day on the Share Markets, and if operators
had not been occupied by arrangements for the
settling day on the 14th. Among the statements
current was that of the faihtre of a member of the
Stock Exchange, for an amount not exactly known;
and it was rumoured that the 800,000/, brought over
by the Royal Charter, was expected to be trans-
mitted principally to the Continent. The New
Three per Cents were 96 to 96+, and the reduced
951 to 95f,'.. Exchequer Bills were 8s to .12s
premium. Bank Stock was 2171.
The business done in the Foreign Stock Market
has been- extremely limited, and prices are without
material alteration. The rates charged for carrying
over to the next account are not so heavy as was
generally anticipated they would be. Grenada
Deferred,-71. Mexican 3 per Cents., 221. Portu
guese 4 per Cents., 511, and the 3 per Cents, 47.
Sardinian 5 per Cents., 92 to 921 Turkish 6 per
Cents. are 1031 1031, and the 4 per Cents. at
nominal prices. Venezuela 41 per Cents. realise
32+; and Peruvian Dollar Bonds, 611.
Joint Stock Bank Shares rule steady., London
and County are 36. City Bank, 711. Union of
Australia, 68 to 681. Western of London, 491 to
50. Ottoman Bank Shares have declined to 101
and 101. In Miscellaneous Shares, Peninsular
and Oriental Steam have advanced to 65, being an
improvement of to a per cent.
The demand For money in the Discount Market
was good, and the current rate was generally
maintained at 41 per cent.
A. meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Marzetti
and Sons was held yesterday, when the statement
of their liabilities and assets was submitted for
their consideration. From this it appears that the
total amount of claims on the estate, after deduct-
ing partially and fully secured debts, is 39,0691,
and the assets, including a surplus of 3,1971 on the
fully secured claims, 21,0651; thus showing a
deficiency of 18,003/. The assets consist of bills
receivable, outstanding consignments, cash, and
goods in hands, which, if managed judiciously,
may realise lOs in the pound.
In the Railway Share Market there was nothing
done of importance, and prices had a slightly down-
ward tendency. The following were the closing
quotations :—Caledonian, 581 59. Eastern Coun
ties, 91 98 East Lancashire, 85 87. Great
Northern, 97 98. Ditto A., 82 83. Great Western,

Hull to Miss Vandenhoff.
RETURN OF MIL. JOAN BRIGHT, M.P., TO ROCHDALE.—
On Thursday evening, Mr. John Bright, M.P., arrived in
Rochdale, from the north, looking much better for his
sojourn there. We understand his health is nearly
restored.
The Duchess of Kent arrived on Saturday afternoon at
Barry's Hotel, accompanied by the Princess Amelia, the
Lady Augusta Bruce, and Lord James Murray. The
Duchess of Kent and the Lady Augusta Bruce attended
Divine service in St. John's Episcopal Church on Sunday.
So overpowering is the heat, that a fat pig, which braved
the fury of the summer's sun, and came to Newcastle on
Thursday, to compete for a share of the Duke of Northum-
berland's £lOO, was struck down in the show-field by a
sunstroke, and expired in the hour of victor/ ! Gateshead

COLLIERS ON STnins.—The colliers employed in the
Oaks colliery, near Barnsley, still remain out on strike,
and there is no immediate prospect of an adjustment.
They persist in their determination not to return to work
until the manager is dismissed, on the ground, as alleged,
of his incapacity safely to conduct the operations of the

pit.
DECREASE OF PAIIPERISM.—A very gratifying fact, as
illustrating the decline of pauperism in this union, was
mentioned at the board of guardians on Thursday. It
appeared from the books that since June 351 paupers had
left the house, and of that number only seven had again
returned to claim relief !—Tipperary Free Press.
DEATH FROM GLANDEbS, A poor man, named
M`Gartity, has fallen a victim to this horrid disease in our
infirmary. He died on Sunday last, having only been
admitted the day before. It appears he caught the disease
from a horse with which he had been working at Mulliaboy,
near Fintona, and had been ill for eight or ten days.
When brought to the infirmary, he was in such a state that
nothing could be done for him. —Tyrone Constitution.
