The council has also to call the

attention of the, members of the association to this subject ;
for it is certain that its usefulness is only partially known,
especially to officers and engineers, or there would be many
more connected with the association and availing them-
selves of this privilege: The council has had under its
consideration the question of obtaining more commodious

and more advantageously situated premises for the use of
the members; but no further action will be taken with

reference to this subject until a satisfactory opportunity

arises of digrosing of the lease of the present premises,
which expires in June, 1860; and before making any
change, due regard will be had by the council to the

financial position of the asssociation,

GREEBA CASTLE ACADEMY, DOUGLAS, ISLE OE MAN.—This
is the most delightful and beautiful spotany where to be found
on the lovely island, and is universally acknowledged to be the
healthiest. Few schools can offer so many advantages of
situation and comfort as the above. It will be found in
ev4ry respect suitable for the residence and education of the
son-

of the gentry. First-class masters provided for each
branch of instruction. Prospectuses, with copper-plate
engraving of the castle, may be had on application. The
midsummer vacation will terminate on the 30th July.
Pupils conducted to and from Liverpool by one of the
masters, and to their residences, if required. tts
ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH WOOLWICH LINE.— On Sunday
evening, about nine o'clock, an alarming accident occurred
on the London and North Western line of the Eastern
Counties Railway Company, happily unattended with fatal
results. It appears that the quarter past eight train to
Woolwich left Bishopgate station in due time. In turning
a sharp curve, near Stratford, the tire of the engine wheel
tiew off, and the shock threw the engine completely off the
rails.o It dragged the train with it for a short distance,

-The Liverpool. Cotton Maiket Was 'well supplied
to-day with all descriptions, and although prices
were well maintained, yet there was little animation
•apparent. The sales comprised about 12,000 bales,
of which. about 3,000 were to speculators and ~for
export.

The state of the Liverpool Share Market was
considerably affected to-day, by the probabilities of
peace,, and -upon the whole showed tolerable firmness
and but little fluctuation, the following being the
quotations of the business done : —Birkenhead, Lan-
cashire and Cheshire, -73 Eastern Counties, 11

In reference to the Liverpool Corn Market of to-
day, Messrs. Fowler and Frean say :--
" This morning's market brought more country Wheat-
buyers than for some time past, and the trade in this .grain
was more cheerful than expected; sales were made at fully
id. per 701bs. over the rates of Friday last. As regards
Oats, Barley, Beans, Peas, and Maize, we repeat former
quotations, with net much life in the demand for either ;
same applies to Sack Flour, as also toOatmeal."

ZPith regard to the state of the Grain Trade of
America, the same firm states :
" New York advices to 28th June are with us, and a
better feeling seems entertained as regards their Wheat
harvest -prospects ; the Grain and Flour Markets rather
lower. As a novelty, we note the shipment of 4,362 barrels
of Flour to this port."
The Manchester Market showed considerable
wildness to-day, and sellers were desirous of obtain-
ing an advance of about 3d on Cloth, and 2- d on

Yarns, above the quotations of Tuesday, but the
business done was inconsiderable.

The Liverpool Produce Market was firm through-
out the whole of the day. In Sugar no disposition
was shown to operate, and scarcely any transactions
took place.
The London Stock Market opened without anima-
tion, but subsequently improved, and prices for
Public Securities finally closed as follows :—Consols
for Money, and for Account, 95'a, 9511 Three per
Cents., 961, 961 ; Bank Stock, 220, 222; Exchequer

The London Share Market opened dull; but im-
proved with Consols, and finally left off at the follow-
ing quotations :--.Ambergate, 5,, 6i ; Caledonian, 82.

The demand for Calcutta and China . having
increased, whilst the supplies are limited, the price
of bar silver has advanced to 620 per ounce standard,
and that of dollars to 601 d per ounce. The rise in
the former case is td, and in the latter id. The
news from Mexico, describing impediments which
have been interposed to the passage of a large mass
of silver now on the way to the coast, has excited a
good deal of attention. The exchange at Calcutta is

The loss of the steamer Argo, of 2,315 tons regis-
ter, and 500 horse-power, will fall upon Lloyd's to
the extent of 30,000/, and upon insurance Offices for
a further sum of 10,0001. The Argo was originally
built for the defunct General Screw Steam Shipping
Company, was afterwards transferred to the Euro-
pean and American Steam Company, and finally
became the property of Mr. Howard, of Manchester,
by whom she was lent to the Atlantic Royal Mail
Steam Company.

Mr. F. W. Cosens' circular states that

" The advices to the present from the various European
wine producing districts are much less favourable than they
were at this period last year. From Portugal they report
that the oidium has appeared in the Douro vineyards, and
that under no circumstances can the crop be even as good as
that of 1858. From France the oidium is reported in many
districts. At Cognac the flowering of the vines has not
progressed favourably."
The following particulars of the progress of the Tal-
low Market during the past week is from the weekly
circular of Messrs. Colchesters and Woolner :
" The Tallow Market was steady during the early part
of the week, and prices in all positions were well main-
tained ; but on receipt of the news that an armistice had
been agreed upon, the price at once gave way, and for a
moment there were few buyers to be found ; 55s was,
however, offered, and at this some business was done, and
at 54s for immediate delivery. Many parties who had
bought in anticipation of still further complications on the
Continent at once sold out, and this produced the decline.
The price at St Petersburg., however, remains very high,
being last quoted at 56 silver roubles on the spot, 55 silver
roubles August, and 54 September. The exchange was
347, being rather higher; it was expected that the chance
of peace would still further improve the exchange, the cost
of importing tallow at the last price quoted on the spot
would be 59s pee cwt. To-day the market continues de-
pressed, with but little doing; 64s is the nearest quotation
on the spot, and for the month 54s 6d ' • Aug. and Sept.
658; last three montbs 54s 6d; Sheep, Odessa, 545; beef

54s to 54s 6d; South Anniican 52s ta-Otiown tallow net
'cash." _ _ _

The rise in the Stock Exchange &as made further
progress. The hopes of peace have decidedly
strengthened. An European 'Congress will, it is
presumed, take the Italian 'question in hand. A
rise in the French Funds of 2 per cent., combined
with a corresponding movement in the other Con-
tinental markets, gave a sensible stimulus to
confidence this morning, and it fresh advance of
2 per cent. ; Consols accordingly rose per cent.
In most of the other markets, especially those for
Foreign Stock's and Lombardo-Venetian Railway
Shares, a further considerable rise took place. At
Amsterdam to-day, Austrian Metalliques showed a
further rise of 31 per cent. In Lombard-street
to-day, the supply of money was very large. At
the Bank business was moderate. In the Foreign
Stock Market there was a decided revival of busi-
ness. Telegrams from St. Petersburg announce
heaviness in the market for produce,, in consequence,
of the pacific news. The bullion operations at the
Bank to-day were trifling. The demand for gold for
exportation continues active.—. Daily News City
Article, Monday _Evening.
_

The great rise on the French bourse strengthens
the general conviction that peace has been decided
upon, and the funds consequently opened with a
great increase of buoyancy. Consols were quoted
within 1 per cent. of the price at which they stood
just before the Ist of January, when the peace of
Europe was wholly undisturbed. The necessity for
national defences having been only partially recog-
nised, there was no prospect of increased taxation when
the stock of bullion in the Bank of England was
nearly a million in excess of that now held. It is
expected that the £1,923,000 which remains to be
issued of the Indian loan of £7,000,000 will be
formally offered for public tender. The Opinion,
from the West Coast of Africa, has brought £2,400.
