WOOL.

The public sales of colons' wool have been well attended
since we last wrote, and home manufacturers have con-
tinued to purchase freely. The export demand is, however,
of very moderate extent; nevertheless, prices are now id

per lb above the rates current last series, showing an im-
provement in the prices realised compared with the opening
sale. The present series is announced to conclude on the
23d inst. Good Australian clothing is quoted at is 10jd

good to superior Cape, is 8d to 2a; medium, is 5d to is 71d;
and greasy, 9jd to lld per lb. In the English wool trade,
by private contract, considerable firmness still prevails, and
the limited supplies brought forward are readily disposed of
at fully last week's currency. The imports into London
last week amounted to

SEEDS.
Clover seed is in moderate request ; fiae parcels rule very
firm in price. Canary seed is a dull inquiry, previous quo-
tations being barely supported. There is a slow sale for
tares at late rates. 1. inseed and rapeseed are tolerably
firm. For cakes there is a fair demand at full quotations.

ROUSE OP LORDS—(This Day).

THE CASE OF THE AEEXANDRA--THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

V. EIILLEN.

Sir H. Cairns to-day addressed their lordships in support
of his view of the case, and minutely examinel the pro-
visions of the Common Law Procedure Act, and Queen's
Remembrancer Act, and contended that the Baron of the
Exchequer had not the power to make rules under the later
act of Parliament, giving the right of appeal in cases on
the revenue side of the court, and that the Exchequer
Chamber were right in refusing to hear the appeal, on the
ground of want of authority.

The learned gentleman had not concluded his address
when we went to press.

ELECTION COMMITTEES—(This Day),

BERWICK-UPON-TWEED.

This committee re-assembled this morning, when
Mr. Phinn, Q.C., oaid—That owing to the embarrass-
ment that had attended the getting up the case, and the
decisions that had already been given by the committee, he
thought it would be useless to occupy their attention any
longer. He, therefore, thought, taking all the circum-
stances into his consideration, that the most prudent course
for him to pursue was to withdraw all flu they opposition to
the realm of the sitting member.

Strangers were then directed to leave the room, and for
upwards of an hour the committee were in deliberation on
their report to be presented to the House.

At a quarter to two the strangers were readmitted, when
The Chairman announced that the committee were of
opinion that Mr. Cargill had been duly elected, that
neither bribery nor corruption had been proved to Lave
been practised, and that the petition was not frivolous or
vexatious.
