In his weekly circular, Mr. Samuel Griffith says :--

" The demand for most kinds of Staffordshii'e iron

in excess of the corresponding month of last quarter.
All the leading houses' have 'been well' supplied with

the improved demand, the makers of. marked brands
have frequently, during this period, declined contracts
for forward delivery. A considerable impetus was giveli

are to be the frontiers of Lombardy

If this be true, and the settlement of the frontiers

be-such-as -to meet the general wish of and
secure' the approbation of• the other European
Powers, the Conference will not have been held

n vain. .A,S it id, however, this rumour must

be taken with extreme caution, receiving as it

does but small confirmation from .the unsettled
state which prevails, and menacing preparations
which are going on in different: quarters of the

Continent

For: some` years past complaints both loud and
frequent, as well as" well-grounded,. have . been

made on account of the want of proper accom-
modation for a Wholesale fruit and vegetable
market in Liverpool. The complaints on this
subject, have not beeii
_confined to one class of
parties interested, but have extended nearly to
all—if not, indeed, to all—whohave been in any
way connected with this market. The, dealers

have again, and again remonstrated with. the
authorities on the inadequacy of the accommoda-
tion they.reeeive for the display -and sale of their
goods. The public have also remonstrated in
various ways as to the Impossibility of availing
themselves of the supplies so profusely, brought
to market, because they cannot obtain access
to the vast -store's' which are aecuraulated in
the circumscribed since allOtted ibr:the-
ness of the market; and last,. though not least,

the parties who occupy business premises in
Great Charlotte-street and Queen-s_quare complain
of the crowding and obstruction caused.- by the
market as a nuisance, as well as a serious impedi-
ment to business. These complaints have been
frequently brought before the Market Committee ;
indeed,-they have ere now-been pleaded in terms-
ofconvincing eloquencie, before the. magisterial
bench, in answer- to charges of breach of the
corporation bye-laws ;" and so cogent has the-
reasoning on this head been, that the apology has
been listened to, and recommendations have been
made to, have some better regulations introduced
by which the inconvenience complained of might
be obviated. The desire of the Market Com-
mittee has always been expressed in favour of- an
alleviation of the evil ; but the limited space at
command has been invariablycited m an insuperable
bar to material change, while want of funds was

an auxiliary argument, against which there could-
not be any legitimate apjeal. Now, however,
matters seem to be changing. The market re-
tenues, under improved management, are on the
increase ; and with an expanding revenue, the
ideas of the committee appear also to be under,

going an enlargement
