WOOL.

There is still a steady business doing in most kinds of
English wool, both for home use and shipment to the con-
tinent. Prices generally are well supported. Foreign and
colonial qualities move off slowly on former terms. Last
week's imports amounted to 13S bales from Sydney, 19 from
Hamburg, 500 from Algoa Bay, 151 from Constantinople,
and 199 from Shanghai.
The following are the current rates of English wool :
Down tegs, is 00 to is l.d ; Down ewes, is to is 00 ;
half-bred ewes lid to Hid ; half-bred tegs is Od to is Ord ;
Kent fleeces, is Od to is oad ; low-, heavy wool fleeces, 9.id

LIMERICK AND FOYNES,

The report of the directors of this company states
that, in order that no delay should arise in opening a
portion of the line for traffic as soon as possible, they
have contracted for the erection of stations at Patrick's-
well, Adam, and Bathkeale. They hope to be able to
open a portion of the line in the course of the approach.
ing summer. The directors have found it necessary to
make a third call cJf 2/. 10s. per share, payable next
month, which will make it 12 months since the pre-
ceding call was made. By an amendment of the borrowing
powers of the company in the present session they expect
to be enabled to complete the whole line without much
pressure on the shareholders. The report of Mr. La Fanne
the engineerstated that the contractor's operations extend
now over 14 miles of the line, and the portion from
Limerick to Adare is in a very forward state, about eight
miles of it having been brought to formation level, and
2i miles partially ballasted. Agreements have been
made for 23 miles of the land; the contractor is in pos-
session of 18 miles, and three miles only remain to be
settled for. The contractor will commence laying the
permanent way in about five weeks. The works have
been well and substantially executed.

Although our market is very scantily supplied with
English hops, the demand for all kinds, owing to the con-
tinued pressure of foreign qualities, is heavy, and prices
aro not supported. Mid and East Kent pockets, 14/ Os to

GOOD FRIDAY AT THE TUILERIES.

A religious ceremony took place on Good Friday
in the chapel of the Tuileries. The Emperor, Em-
press, and the Court were present, and about 100
strangers were admitted with tickets. Out of reverence
for the solemn character of the day, it was notified on
the card of admission that all persons assisting at the
service should appear in deep mourning. A few mi-
nutes before the service commenced the Emperor and
Empress entered, habited in black ; the Empress wore
the 'costume of her country, with her face half
shaded by the mantilla, her sable dress contrast•
ing strongly with the transparent fairness of her
complexion. Some of the French ladies present,
probably out of compliment to the Empress, also
wore the characteristic heaci•dress of Spain, and carried
tans of the same dark colour. They were probably
Fiench, or English, for the experienced eye could see at
the first glance, in spite of the Spanish costume, that the
movement of the fan, which no hand or waist can manage
except a thorough-bred Spanish one, was a decided fail-
ure, notwithstanding its rapidity and energy. The.man-
tilla, too, though in some cases richer and more flowing
than that of the Empress, evidently did not cover a
Spanish head, nor shade a Spanish eye. The celebrated
preacher, Father Ravignan, delivered a discourse on the
Passion, which was listened to with the profoundest at-
tention. The solemn dirge of the Roman Catholic ritual,
suited to the occasion, was well executed. Except at
the sermon, the Emperor and Empress remained kneel-
ing during the service, which lasted about an hour.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

BAGENALSTOWN AND WEXFORD.
The report of the directors stated that they have been
enabled to conclude satisfactory arrangements with some
of the principal proprietors for possession of the land
required for the commencement of the works, and which
land they have placed at the disposal of the contractor.
The works in the neighbourhood of Borris, being the
heaviest on the line, have been commenced, and the
dirpctors trust that the works will be carried on steadily
duping the approaching summer. The report of the
engineer stated that the contractor had already executed
2,200 lineal yards of fencing, 4,100 cubic yards of exca-
vation, and that the bridge over the public road from
Burris to Feenagh was nearly finished. The capital
account showed that 22,0251. had been t eceived to the
31st of December, and 8,2131. expended, leaving a
balance of 13,812/,

The tunnel works at Cork have arrived so near com-

entire length, and pilot engines have been run upon
them. The deviation road, which is to be substituted
for the present Lower Glanmire road, is making rapid
progress. The excavations for the docks are being pro-
ceeded with, and have advanced to a considerable ex-
tent ; the goods depot is nearly completed ; and the
passenger terminus is already commenced. A very
brief period will probably show the transfer of the ter-
minus to its final destination.

BOROUGH HOP.

Although our market is very scantily supplied with
English hops, the demand for all kinds, owing to the con-
tinued pressure of foreign qualities, is heavy, and prices
are not supported. Mid and East Kent pockets, 141 Cs to
201; Weald of Kent ditto, n/ lOs to 141 lOs ; Sussex, 121
lOs to 131 lOs ; and yearlings, 71 10s to 101 per cwt. The
imports of foreign hops last week were, 10 bales from Ham-
burgh and 47 from Antwerp.

FORTH AMC, CLYDE JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Stirling on Friday ; Mr. R. Graham presiding. The
chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, congra
tulated the shareholders on the probability of opening
the line in time to secure the autumn traffic. Since the
report had been printed, an additional sum of 7,0001.
had been expended on the undertaking. Owing to the
rapid progress of the works an early call might be anti-
cipated, and a considerable sum would be required to
complete the works. Resolutions were passed adopting
the,report and re-electing the retiring directors.

DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT PIECE OF ORDNANCE.
On Thursday the labourers engaged in levelling the
ground surrounding the Kilkenny National Model
School, while excavating a portion of the inner embank-
ment of the old town wall, under the bastion anciently
known as Talbot's Castle, discovered a very curious
piece of ordnance, probably a relic of Cromwell's siege,
at the distance of several feet from the surface. It is
the species of gun termed 'a " saker," with a moveable
Chamber for loading, and measures 7 feet 6 inches in
length, with a, bore of two inches. A fragment of a 241 b.
cannot shot was found a few days praviottsly in the same
locality. Both these,interesting remains have been de-
posited in the museum of the Kilkenny Archmological
Society, by Henry P. Clarke, Isq., nspector of
national schools. We presume the ,public vi 11 be further
enlightened as to their history at the llil a ecting of the
Arohaiological Society.—, ißmy MoAt tor.

Hamburg, 500 from Algoa Bay, 151 front Constantinople,
and 199 from Shanghai.
The following are the current rates of English wool :

FORTH AND CLYDE JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Stirling oh Friday ; Mr. R. Graham presiding. The
chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, congra•
tulated the shareholders on the probability of opening
the line in time to secure the autumn traffic. Since the
report had been printed, an additional sum of 7,0001.
had been expended on the undertaking. Owing to the
rapid progress of the works an early call might be anti-
cipated, and a considerable sum would be required to
complete the works. Resolutions were passed adopting
the report and re-electing the retiring directors.

DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT PIECE OF ORDNANCE.—
On Thursday the labourers engaged in levelling the
ground surrounding the Kilkenny National Model
School, while excavating a portion of the inner embank-
ment of the old town wall, under .the bastion anciently
known as Talbot's Castle, discovered a very curious
piece of ordnance, probably a relic of Cromwell's siege,
at the distance of several feet from the surface. It is
the species of gun termed a " saker," with a moveable
chamber for loading, and measures 7 feet 6 inches in
length, with a bore of two inches. A fragment of a 241 b.
cannot shot was found a few days previously ii the same
locality. Both these interesting remains have been de-
posited in the museum of the Kilkenny Archmologica,l
Society, by Henry P. Clarke, Esq., lonrt nspector of
national schools. We presume the public vi 11 be further
enlightened as to their history at the Ma} it eating of the
Archaeological Society,--, ißenn Moger tor; • ,

NEWOATE AND LEADENHALL.

Our markets are seasonably well, but not to say heavily,
supplied with most kinds of meat. Prime beef, mutton,
lamb, and veal are in steady request, at full prices. In
other kinds, only a moderate business is doing.

BOROUGH HOP.

Although our market is very scantily supplied with
English hops, the demand for all kinds, owing to the con-
tinued pressure of foreign qualities, is heavy, and prices
are not supported. Mid and East Kent pockets. 141 Os to
201; Weald of Kent ditto, 13/ lOs to 141 10s ; Sussex, 121

imports of foreign hops last week were, 10 bales from Ham-
burgh and 47 from Antwerp.
