ASHES: Latest advices from England show a rapid
decline ou prices of both sorts, which
.has affected quo-
tations of last week to the. extent of 4s to 4s 6 i per.ewt.
To-day, we quote pots at 42s 6i to 42e 9d; pearls, 42s 3tl
to 42s 6d—without much inquiry. ' •
TIHBER.—Since we last issued our circular the arrivals
from sea continue numerous, and the tonnage up to this
date is unusually large. Owing to want of wharf-
age accommodation, great delay has been -experienced
in unloading, idiot) has had some effect on our markets, as.
many vessesis which in ordinary years would have well
nigh bien loided, have not-yercommeneed taking in their
cargoes. White Pine, if good, and of 'proper average, is
very saleable, especially if in shipping order, and for 8J feet
our extreme qaotatiens can be realiz-d. For smaller
average the trice is by no means proportionate, yet
good lots even of small size are easily placed. Red Pine
is selling in small lots, but the shipment is rather on a
limited scale, owing to the price of pitch pine in England.
In Oak we have np alterai n;
.but Elm is faling—in
price. Tamarac is also very dull, as the impression is few
vess-ls will be built, partly owing,to , the new regulations
for classing, but more especially. from prices in .England
for new ships leaving. little-if any remuneration to our
builders. To do this there 'should be an advance' of fully
20s. per ton independent of the advance for being Iron-
Kneed and classed. Staves are scarce, ail the old stuck
being mostly cleared out. Ash is very dull except for
large size, and even then :nothing but small parcels com-
mand-attention. In Deals we mike no alteration ;. holders
are firm at our quotations, but there is not any very great
animation in the marzet. Freights are still dull, and the
inducements to ships are so few that many vessels are
loading on owner's account: 30s. for Liierpool, and £4
10s.,fer. London, may be considered the current rates.

MONTREAL, JUNE 18.
The spring traie is over i❑ Montreal, aid has been, on
the . whole, satisfactory. Toose who depended for their
sales on an extended list of substantial country customers,
have done about th ?ir usual amount of business, and in
some cases a little more on jobbing and wholesale customers,
have owing to the chillness in Canada West, been a good
deal disappointed. '[here is now ve y little doing here in
imported 'goorls, and the complaints of stagnation in buisi-
ness, and searcit'y of money, in'Toronto, Hamilton, and
London, continue unabated. With all this stringency,
however,-there- are few or no failures of any consequence,-
a fact which speaks well for the stability of Canadian
merchants. Ashes which rose in this market ten days ago
to 52 account of a scarcity and speculative demand
in LiverpoA, fell off almost immediately again, and were
unsaleable for some days, until the views of buyers and
sellers met at 48s. to 48s. 6d. Since then the news of a
further decline of 2s. 6d. to 3s. in Liverpool has brought
down the price here to 45'. 61. for Puts, and 455. for Pearls.
Freight for both sorts in Liverpool may be quoted at 255.
and. 30s. sterling respectively p.,:r ton.

Loss or Lives orr THE RIVER THAMES.—On Wednesday
morning, about seven O'clock, :whilst several young men
and boys were bathing. in the River Thames, at it orsley-
down, a cry was raised- that a boy was seized• •with the
crarap, and was drowning. The pior fellow was• seen to
sink, then rise, and after spinning round in the water
severs times, he was sucked under the shipping. A man
dressed in light canvas, dived several times after him, but
was unable to find him. The previous evening a man was
drowned in a similar way at Binkside, which shows the
great danger of persons bathing in rivers in which steam-
boats are continually passing up and down.

FORGERY OP BANK OF ENGLAND AnTEs ANn (11/.IITTR%
—At one of the London Police Courts on Wednesday,
two men about forty years of age, who gave the names
of Joseph Collin and Thomas Collin, the former"described_
as a commission agent, of no fixed residence, and the latter
as an accountant, residing at 18, West-street, Walwortb,
were placed at the bar, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with
uttering two L 5 forged Bank of England notes to Mr.
Thomas Marshall, a cigar importer, and to Mr. J. H. God-
win. a licensed victualler; and also with uttering a forged
cheque for £25 on the Londmi Joint Stook Bank to Mr.
C. W. Davis, watch and clock maker, of No. 1, Foxton-
terrace, Thornhill-road, Islington: • Mr. Thomas William
Marshall said : I live at. High-street, Islington-. Oa the
7th of May the two prisonerp, wbalme been customers of
mine for some time, came into my shop about half-past
eleven, and said they wanted a pound of the best cheroots,
at wholesale price. I had always understood they were
brothers, and that they bad the contract for supplying the
troops at Alder-hott with meat. The prisoner, Joseph,
then gave me a£s note to pay for the cigars, and g ,ve
him.the charge. I paid the note away to a Mr. Lloyd, of
Ludgate-hill, and that party paid it into Mr. Dixon's bank.
The note was returned-to me in a few days marked as a
forgery. lam certain that the note produced was the one
the prisoner gave to me, for I had no other note in my
possession for some days. The prisoners took the cigars
away with them, and those produced, and which were
found in their possession, are those I served them with.
Mr. Charles William Davis said : On the 26th of May the
prisoner, Thomas, obtained a gold watch and diamond ring
from me. He paid for them by a cheque for £25 on the
western branch of the London Joint Stock Bank. I pre-
sented it the next morning at the b ink, and they told me
that there were no effects. When I took the cheque Vie
person gave the name of Claxton, and said he lived at
Camden road Villas. I have seen both the prisoners
before. They represented to me that they were cattle
salesmen in the new market. Mr. J. H. G itiwin, landlord
of the,Norhampton Arms said: On the 12:h of. Jone both
prisoners came to my house, and after some conversation
said they were going to Aldershott, and wished to take
some gin with* them. After tasting. various '.samples, they
chose a gallon at.l2s, and paid me With a forged Bank of
England note. The prisoners were remanded for a week.

annoying than a bad pen—every one knows the misery. - The pen

what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any int.. From experience of metallic pens, we can
say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as
long, is the best one we have ever used.—Northern Times. One
