STATE OF TRADE,

3lANcirEstrEn, Aug. 19.—1 n shipping yarns there has
been no business to-day. The market appears to be in a
at ate of suspense, buyers manifesting a disposition to await
the arrival of the American and East Indian mails before
entering upon such operations. In home trade yarns there
have also been but few inquiries. Prices are nominally about
the same as on Tuesday, but in some instances spinners
seem more anxious about selling than of late, and in such
cases they would probably make some concessions to induce
business. In the cloth market, on Tuesday, sellers thought
they perceived indications of a greater desire to do business
on the part of buyers, but if there were any such indications
they seem now to have disappeared. The market is very fiat.
As a rule, buyers remain inactive and show no disposition
for business. There have been some inquiries to-day, but
mostly without result. When offers have been made they
have generally been at prices too low for acceptance, manu-
facturers not being as yet troubled with stocks to an extent
which would induce them to make the sacrifices implied by
such offers. In such few operations as have taken place
sellers have had to accept prices considerably below Tues-
day's quotations.

CARDIFF, lEth,—There is a considerable amount of acti-
vity evin( ed in the steam coal trade, and a large business is
being done at the docks. The advance in the rate of dis-
count has not affected transactions to the extent anticipated,
which shows that the trade is in a fairly satisfactory state,
House qualities are also in good demand. Quotations are
well maintained for both house and steam. Coke is in
average request, and prices remain without any alteration.
A brisk inquiry exists for patent fuel, principally from the
eastern ports. At the ironworks the want of rain is severely
felt, and many establishments are at a partiatstandstill.
better feeling has prevailed in the trade during the lest ffewdays. and although there h,s been no actual advance, prices
are firmer. The shipbuilding yards continue in active
employ.

NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—There was about an average at-
tendance of merchants and manufacturers at this exchange
hall to-day, but the demand for lace yarns was dull, at little
or no alteration in prices. In hosiery yarns no material
change took place. Silks very firm, and prices are advanc-
ing; spun silks tending upwards. The demand for Brown
nets was very dull, and prices were unchanged.

REPRESENTATION OF WEsTMINSTER.---A move-
ment is said to be on foot in Westminster for the purpose
of securing the return of Sir John Roadlly, the master of
the Rolls, as member for the City of Westminster at the
newt general election. Some time ago Sir De Lacy Evans
stated that he did not intend standing for the city again,
but since that he has intimated his intention of coming for-
ward. The Master of the Rolls is the only Judgo Who is at
liberty to hold a seat ill the House of Commons.

BIOTISH POSSE
London, England, 1864-08-20

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester-
day at the Euston Station, Sir H. Terney in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the
balance in hand at the commencement of the half-year
amounted to £7,194, and the rent received from the London
and North- Western Company was £24,900, making a total
of £32,096. The payments to the proprietors had amounted
to £24,385, leaving a balance of £7,709. The directors had
much
_satisfaction in reporting an increased traffic receipt
during the last six months as compared with the correspond-
ing period of last year. The Royal assent had been given
to the East Gloucestershire line, and they believed with the
extension of the Buckinghamshire system the traffic over
the company's line would continue to improve. The junc-
tion of the Buckinghamshire with the line of the Great
Western at Banbury had been completed, and the works of
the Aylesbury and Buckingham railway were progressing.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
expressed his regret that the Legislature bad not sanctioned
the bill promoted for the construction of a line from Ban-
bury to Brockley, a line which, he said, was much required
to promote the interests of the district.

Mr DEAN seconded the motion, which was agreed to.

. _
The CHAIRMAN moved the re-election of Mr R. Carter
as auditor, which was seconded and carried, and a vote
of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the
proceedings.

College. He then went to the Coach and Horses in
Grosvenor-row, where the two prisoners came up and
forced their company upon him. lie was induced upon their

importunity to treat them with drink, and he then left
the house, but found himself accompanied by the prisoners
and two men. After he had proceeded a short distance he
was suddenly tripped up and robbed. He was shaken about
and his pockets rifled of their contents, consisting of a
watch and chain, some money in gold and silver, his hand-
kerchief, a cigar case, and a pair of gloves. In consequence
of the attack upon him he vats insensible for some minutes.
When he recovered his faculties he was bleeding from the
face, and was conveyed into a tavern, where he again be-
came insensible.
Mr. Selfe—Were you sober ?
_ _

Prosecutor—l was not ; but I was quite sensible of what
I was about until I was tripped up and deprived of my
senses.

Mr. Selfe—ls any of the property recovered ?

Prosecutor--The gloves and handkerchief.

A number of witnesses were examined, and amongst them
Sergeant Clements, 27 B, who said that seeing the prosecu-
tor intoxicated in the street, he went up and cautioned him
to beware of the woman and a soldier who were with him,
as he might lose his property, but prosecutor disregarded
the warning, and continued with them.

Evidence was given to show that Benjamin had had
possession of the gloves and handkerchief.
She accounted for the possession of the gloves and hand-
kerchief by stating that the prosecutor had given them to
her.

The other prisoner when apprehended said that prosecu-
tor was knocked down 'on entering a dark place and rob-
bed, but she had had no share of it.
The prosecutor was evidently so much intoxicated as to
be unable to give a reliable account of the transactiun.
The prisoners were remanded until Tuesday next.

members. With regard to the word-famous letters
of Cicero, of which more than eight hundred have
been preserved, it is remarked that they Liford us
a glimpse of that inner life, that conflict of passion
and feeling with dignity and duty which the Roman,
whatever his place or power, was usually so careful
to conceal. "We believe we may say, without fear
of contradiction, that of Cicero alone in the whole
compass of classical antiquity has such a picture
survived the ravages of time. Of Cicero alone can
it be affirmed that we are in many and very consi-
derable instances made acquainted not merely with
what he thought it, the proper thing to say in pub-
lic as a vir consulariB, or to consign to a set treatise,
but with what ho felt in his heart of hearts, and
confided to his friend of frieids." Bearing this in
mind, the reader must not judge harshly of the
foibles and failings which are sometimes exhi•
bited in the letters. The test to which the
Roman philosopher is subjected is a sharp one, and
we should rather rejoice that one of the old cele •
brities shines out so brightly through the dust of
ages. Captain Speke's record of his African travels
is the subject of an interesting article, recounting
the plan of that geographical campaign with which
the public is already familiar. It is remarked, in
conclusion, that whatever may be the discoveries of
future explorers, they cannot deprive Captain
Speke and his companion of the honour of having
been the first Europeans to penetrate those myste-
rious regions, and to force their way through savage
tribes, and kingdoms where the face of a white man
was unknown. An essay on " Guns and Plates" is
well written and interesting, but it shows such
manifest partiality that its arguments cannot be
accepted as in any way conclusive. The naturalist
will find a good deal of information in a paper about
Eels, whose animated style and entertaining matter
will also find favour with the general reader,
although he may not altogether coincide with the
1 opinion of the enthusiastic Frenchman who declares
"there are few animals whose image one must re-
trace with as much pleasure as the common eel !"
Two papers on " Rome in the Middle Ages," and
those terrible Danish Duchies which have become
such a bugbear to Europe, conclude an interesting
number.

THE NANA.—Another " Nana" has turned up
in Mey war. The beat way, perhaps, to stop this
would be to hang pretenders on the strength of their own
assertions. There can be little doubt that the real scoun-
drel is either dead or in the hands of Jung Bahadoor. The
former of these suppositions is by far the more probable of
the two, for the only reason the Nepaulese Minister could
have for keeping him would be the intention of playing
him as a trump card should opportunity offer, and he knows
that the man never had the slightest personal influence,
and as a winning eard always was, and will be, not worth
playing.—Calcutta Englishman.
STOKER KILLED.—On Tuesday afternoon, while
James Harris, the stoker of a goods train on the
North British Railway, was engaged in coupling some
trucks at a siding near Niddry station he was struck by
some rails which were projecting over the end of one of the
trucks, and his head was frightfully crushed between the
rails and a truck. The unfortunate man was speedily re-
moved to Edinburgh for surgical treatment, bat he was
dead before the train in which he was brought reached
town. The deceased was a native of Castle Douglas, was
unmarried, and had only been in the aeryice of the com-
pany for a short time,— &Osman.

DR. J. P. SARGEANT, M.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
(183 G., will shortly repeat his Lecture
at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,

NATIONAL EXPENDITURE.

On bringing up the report of the committee on supply,
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY drew attention to the great
increase in the public expenditure. From 1830 to 1853 and
1854, the annual expenditure was was on an average about
£54,000,000, but it was now increased by £30,000,000.
Since the Crimean war instead of a decrease there had been
an increase, and he believed that this increase could not be
efficiently checked by the Government, however good their
intention might be, and it was incumbent on Parliament
to consider the subject carefully.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no
doubt it was desirable that the representatives of the public
should from time to time call the attention of Parliament.
It could not be expected that the expenditure of the pre-
sent time should continuo the same as in former years, be-
cause the increase in some branches of industry rendered
necessary an increase in the national expenditure. He ad-
mitted that the control exercised by the Treasury over the
expenditure was not so efficient as formerly, but it was
o)ring to the vast increase in the amount of civil business.
When he made his annual financial statement would be the
proper time for making a more extensive statement of thq
policy of the Government in reference to this subject.

HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
Sixteen hundred and fifty-five deaths were regis..
tered in the metropolitan districts in the week that
ended last Saturday. In the ten corresponding
weeks of the years 1854-63, the average number was
1,346, which, if raised in proportion to the increase
of population during these years, gives a mortality
of 1,481 for the present time. The deaths last week
therefore exceeded by 174 the estimated number.
Diseases of the respiratory organs were the cause
of 438 deaths,of which 299 were attributed to bron-
c'aitis, 90 to pneumonia, and 18 to asthma. The
deaths referred to phthisis (or consumption) were 186.
The deaths by zymotic diseases were 340 ; 10
deaths were ascribed to smallpox, 23 to measles, 58
to scarlatina, 24 to diphtheria, 68 to typhus, and 81
to whoopingcough.
The deaths of 11 nonagenarians are recorded, the
oldest of whom was a man who had attained the age
of 98 years. Four children of a coachman, aged 3,
4,6, and 7 years respectively, and residing at 55,
Park-crescent-mews West, Marylebone, died of
scarlatina, accompanied by diphtheria. The twin
daughters of a tailor residing at Gerard-street, Soho,
were found suffocated in bed. The wife of a

lighterman, residing at Windmill-street, Lambeth,
died of bronchitis, hastened by want of sufficient bed
clothing. The infant son of a cabinet maker died at
94, Green-street, Bethnal-green, from the absence
of sufficient breast milk through poverty. The in-
fant daughter of a French polisher died at 44 Bri-
tannia-street, Gray's-inn-lane, from inflammation
of the mange, accelerated by want.
Last week the births of 1,055 boys and 1,023
girls, in all 2,078 children, were registered in Lon-
don. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years
j 1854.63 the average number (corrected) was 2,069.

LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB. 11, 1864

Yesterday's rumour of an armisticeatippears now
to have been altogether unfounded, .r
wish
probably father to the thought of it. But the was
being at least
fromi
l
report
has now been doubly, and for the time beim
h.e
quite positively, contradicted. A telegram
Paris denies the accuracy of it altogether. while
the semi-official Nord-deutsche•Allgemeine-
ztang, says the same, if possible, yet more ex Pnr-
citiy. The Prussians, this Berlin journal remarks,
io far trom being in any way likely to consent to,
a:I arms tire, will, for a certainty, not
r:29t satisfied so long as a single Dahish
soldier can be found any where upon the
Boil of Schleswig. And that there are Danish
soldiers still there, notwithstanding the astounding
vithdrawal of the main army en masse to the Island
of Allen, appears to be indisputable. A portion of
that main army, it cow turns out, instead of re-
treating (shall we say escaping ?) to Alsen, under
the command of that now most unpopular veteran
vie Danish coinmande ir-n-chief, General DE
tilt
marched northwards, t niw appears, at the
donble.quick," hotly pursued by the allied
invaders. In truth, it is hardly probable, now
that the Austrians and Prussians have so much way
upon them, as we may call it, in the forward rush
of their military successes, that they should lightly
