Business has been exceedingly dull in the London
produce markets during the week. Sugar has
been very depressed, but as holders do not seem
inclined to supply the market, prices have been
maintained. Y( s'erday, however, a decline of ls
per ctvt took place, and the market closed with a
heavy aspect. The stock of this article at some
of the chief markets of Europe on the Ist inst.
was 92 2.11 tons against 130.766 tons at the cot-
responding period of 18M. The market for coffee
is quieter, but previous quotations have been
maintained. Tea has been firmer, but yesterday
there was a heavier tone. Rice .has slightly de-
clined, and cocoa continues steady. Spices have
mostly realised previous rates. Rum is at nominal
prices, the importers refusing to submit to the
reduction required by purchasers. Saltpetre has
been in demand at fuller rates, and tallow is main-
tained, but transactions are limited.
Trade in the manufacturing districts has
generally assumed a quiet aspect, and but few
dealings have been entered into by the Leeds
houses. The shipping houses, however, were
moderately employed. There had been more
activity at Bradford in the piece trade, and full
prices had been paid for combing goods. At
Halifax a fair business had been done in worsted
at high rbtes, and for combing wools prices have
been in favour of sellers. The Manchester trade
had been affected by the news from India, and but
few purchases have been made. Most of the ship-
pers are anxiously waiting the arrival of the next
Overland Mail before making purchases.
The ships Roxburgh Castle and Frances Henty
have arrived from Melbourne, the former with
30 620 oz. of gold on freight, and the latter with
21,732 oz , the aggregate value of the two remit-
tances being 221,4001.
It is stated that in the more forward districts in
the south of England wheat cutting is expected to
commence about next Monday week, should the
weather continue propitious. It is noticed as a fa-
vourable sign that little has been heard of the po-
tato blight, which was recently reported to have
made its appearance in the south of Ireland.
We understand that the Bank of England has
just lent 300,0001, upon debentures, to the London
and South Western Railway Company, at 41 per
cent. per annum, for five years. The Bank is in
the habit of employing a certain portion of its
funds in this class of investments.
It is stated in good quarters that the next divi-
dend of the Great Western Railway Company
will be at the rate of from 2 to 24 per cent. per
annum.
At the adjourned meeting of the proprietors of
the South Australian Banking Company held
yesterday, the resolution adopted at the former
meeting for an increase of capital was confirmed

unanimously.
A mnnting of tho oha.roholdorq of the Western
Bank of London is called for the 27th instant, for
receiving the directors' report and the statement of
accounts to the 30th of June.
The half yearly meeting of the Electric and
International Telegraph Company is called for the
81st instant.
The half-yearly meeting of the Madras Railway
Company is called for the 23rd inst.
According to advices from Constantinople, the
native capitalists, who are endeavouring to organise
a National Bank, have as yet failed to procure
subscriptions to the amount of more than 810,0001.
or 820,0001, and of this sum the promoters them-
selves sign for a large proportion. The proposed
capital is about 4 500,0001. sterling, and grave
doubts.are entertained of the ability of the parties
interested to float the project, in the absence of
substantial support from Western Europe. This
view is corroborated by the movement of the
exchange at Constantinople on London, which has
risen to 1304. Were a confidence felt that a strong
bank will be soon established, the exchange would
certainly experience a considerable fall.
The same advices mention that a leading Greek
firm has recently made snother private loan, of
moderate amount, to the Sultan.
Trade has been quiet in the north of Ireland of
late. The present week has been one of compara•
tive dulness in the sale of white goods. Home
markets have not yet come up to the usual activity.
Food is still too high to give the demand that
impetus which is required to stir up that large
outlet for goods. Sales of fancy fabrics have been
well maintained all season, and the hands engaged
in that portion of the trade were well employed.
Brown goods have been in diminished supply at
some of the public markets. Ballymena was a busy
meeting on Saturday last, and considerable business
was done in yarns. Lurgan, on Thursday, was rather
small. The sale of lawns has been more active,
and there is a slight turn in favour of handkerchiefs:
Belfast market, yesterday, had the average supply
of coarse goods ; sales fair for the season. Mill-
owners are all in full work, and the sales of warp
yarns continue to go off on batter terms. Stocks
in the hands of the spinners are moderate in all
counts. Flax Markets have been well supplied in
some classes of fibre ; but, as a whole, the quality
of fine flax shown during the last ten days has
been not at all such as to meet requirements
Rates were Gs to 7s 9d for handscutched, and 7s to
13s for milled.

"A NOVEL INKSTAND.—A new and very ingenious inkstand has
been submitted to our notice; by a simple but ingenious contrivance
the ink is always kept clear and fluid."—Northampton Mercury.—

CASH AND DEED, BOXES.—The next important thing to the posses-
sion of cash is, how (when yon have got it) to keep it safely, either in
the counting-honae or at home. The same remarks apply to deeds
and other valuable documents. We have seen a large and varied
stock of both these desirable articles, manufactured expressly for Mr.
E. T. Hall, of South John street, that challenge attention. These
boxes are made on new and admired principles, and possess patent
leeirs, which defy the ingenuity of any "pick-lock" in the world to
open, except with the legitimate key. To merchants, solicitors, and
others, these new safes, on a small scale, must prove valuable ndeed

Tuts CALIFORNIAN Prin.—The everlasting question ef "Is this
good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John
street, who has succeeded in producing a metallic pen. which he
designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more
annoying than a bad pen—every one knows the misery. The pen
made by Mr. Hall, Is fit for any hand to use (light or heavy), and
what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. 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

Emigrants to the UNITED STATES and CANADA, by Wing the
Through Tickets of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, are conveyed
from their port of landing to their destination in less than ONE
QUARTER OF THE TIM 3 taken by Steam Boats, and at about the same
rates of fares. Thus a passenger can reach Chicago from Quebec, a
distance of 1,007 miles, in less than 2i days, whereas by water it is
nearly double the distance and requires from 12 to 15 days, with five
or six changes ef Steam Boats, daring all of which they are exposed
to the arts and machinations of designing persons, whose sole means
of living is by ter plunder. The Steam Boats, especially when.
crowded, scarcely afford protection from the weather. Passengers
with Through Tickets are allowed the same amount of luggage, free.,
as on board the ship, and it is conveyed from the Ship to the Rai way
Station without any charge whatever. The Agents of the Tend
Trunk Company will give Mechanics, Artizans, and Letbouerxs. on
their arrival, the best information in respect to empleyreeat, the
places at which it is to ba had, and the rates of wages,. Intending
Emigrants can have sent to them, free. a Tariff of passenger fates;
