MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of home
grown wheat were very moderate, Millers, however,
operated cautiously, at fully the recent decline in the
currency.

The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was far from
extensive, In all descriptions, however, sales progressed
slowly, at barely late rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, and
prices had a downward tendency.

Barley, the supply of which was seasonably good, met a
slow sale, at about previous rates.

Malt sold steadily, at about stationary prices.
The supply of oats on sale was moderately large. For
all qualities, the trade was dull, at drooping currencies.
Beans steadily supported previous rates. The show of
samples on the stands was very moderate.

Peas ruled firm, at late rates. The flour trade was dull,
at about previous quotations,

horses closed with the favourite, who before reaching the
distance was in difficulties. Trust then took the lead ; oppo-
site the stand Aldcroft brought upOldminster, and the pair
running head and head to the chair the judge gave it in a
dead heat. Greville was beaten two lengths from the other

A LAVA BROTH,

We spent Saturday and Sunday at Thingvollum (I
have put his name in the right case, though travellers ge-
nerally use the genitive, but I shall not treat the other
names thus). 'We sketched, fished, and shot—learnt a little
of the Icelandic culinary art, too, from the smoke-dried
servant of Pastor Simon Beck, and taught her a little about
English cookery in return.

As the good priest had nothing to give us, and the
proceeds of our fishery amounted to one trout, we stood a
fair chance of being starved, and the servant maid expressed
her concern for us in vehement terms.

4, Bless your heart, old lady I" said Mr. Briggs, " there
is everything needful for making a capital soup scattered
broadcast over the country." Then, turning to me, "It is
an old joke, Padre ; indeed I fear quite a Joe Miller, yet
I'll be bound it is new to the Icelanders.' Then he called
to the servant to bring him two lava blocks of such a size
as would go into a saucepan, as he intended to make broth
out of them. The woman stared, and pulled out a couple
of the stones which formed the hearth.

" Thoy will d 3 capitally, put them into the pot I"
The woman placed them carefullly where he desired.
" Now then," said he, " let them simmer gently; take
care that they are not hard boiled, nor burnt at all ; stir,
stir away, never be afraid of stirring, it extracts the
flavour

With the utmost gravity, the servant complied, and kept
the spoon revolving in the pot, while Mr. Briggs held his
nose over the steam.

" They are doing nicely; have you any salt ?"
" Ja, ja I" answered she, and she handed him over a
bagful, lie poured some in, and let her continue the
stirring.

"Any flour in the house ?" asked my portly friend.
" J a, ja ;" and she handed him a mug full of rye meal.
Presently he brought in a couple of tins of Fortnum and
Mason's preserved vegetables, and emptied them in with
the stones.

" It smells good," said the poor woman, with great so-
lemnity : "and this is hraun•euppi (lava-broth) I Wonder-
ful,- wonderful I"

" We'll give it a little extra relish," observed :Mr.
Briggs, throwing in sorao slices of concentrated soup.
" Now, old woman, what do you say to my cooking ?''
The servant put her fingers into the pot, then sucked
them, and put them in again.

" Mikit goot" (very good) she muttered, in a sad state
of bewilderment : " and all this comes from lava-stones,
too. Wonderfol, wonderful I"
" Now for a bowl," called he, and proceeded to pour out
the fluid contents of the saucepan. The smoke-dried servant
bore the bowl to the guest-room, etpd did ample justice
to the excellent etoae broth.

DANISH AFFAIRS.

In reply to Mr. WnxTnsznE,
Mr. LAYARD said that it was understood that after the
adoption of the armistice on the Dana-German question,
no further contributions on the defeated by way of making
good the expenses of the war would be levied. Her Ma-
jesty's Government had seen statements in the newspapers
recently to the effect that that provision had not been com-
plied with, but no official communication had been received.
on the subject.
THE AUSTRIAN SQUADRON.

Sir J. PAKINGTON inquired whether the Govern-
ment had received any information that the Austrian
squadron had gone to the Baltic.
Mr. LAYARD said that part of the squadron had re-
mained at Lisbon, and he presumed it had gone to join the
other part in the North Sea.

Court

ouncil,

A Special Court of Common Council was held yesterday
-the Lord Mayor presided.

GARIBALDI.
Deputy WHITE inquired of the Town Clerk what steps
had been taken in relation to the translation of the Chain-

berlain's address to Gen. Garibaldi into the Italian language

and its presentation to him.
The TOWN CLERK (Mr Woodthorpe) said that, in ac-
cordance with the resolution of the Court, he had commu •
nicated with Signor Pistrucci, the professor of Italian at
King's College, and asked him to undertake the duty of
translating the address, but his engagements prevented him

from performing the task as quickly as was required by
reason of the General's sudden departure from England.
He had, however, at his instance communicated with Signor
Tivoli, the professor of Italian at University College, and

. .
he and his son sat up the whole night and carefully trail.
slated the address. Tilt translation was sent on the follow

ing morning to Sutherland House, but the General had left;
but his son Menotti took charge of D, and conveyed it to
his father, w returned his warmest thanks for the com-
pliment that had been paid him by the Corporation.
A short discussion took place as to the best means of ac-
knowledging the services of Signor Tivoli, some of the
members of the Court expressing an opinion that it might

not be agreeable to the feelings of that gentleman to make a
pecuniary acknowledgment. Eventually it was agreed that
the thanks of the Court and a sum of ten guineas should be
presented to Signor Tivoli.

The Stormontfield Ponds,

Our readers are familiar with the experiment
which has been carried on by the proprietors of
salmon fishing on the Tay during the last 10 or 11
years as to the artificial propagation of salmon.
They are also aware, through our columns, that in
former years the experiment at the Stormontfield
Ponds, in the neighbourhood of Perth, was highly
successful, and that a considerable number of the
marked fish reared in these ponds had been landed
i❑ the Tay, Fez tb, and other Scottish rivers.
We paid a visit to the Stormontfield Ponds
on Tuesday, and Mr. Marshall most kindly showed
us all the operations tinder his most efficient
superintendence. The number of ova put
into the breeding-boxes at the end of 1862
was about 200,000, the fry from which,
in March., April, and May, 1833, numbered upwards
of 200,000, and are now in the smolt state in the
large pond communicating with the Tay. The fish
are leaving daily, and it is expected that the more
advanced portion of them will have all left the pond
by the end of the current month. The smolts are i❑
a most lively and healthy condition, and on their
keeper throwing into the pond a very small quantity
of liver, with which they are fed, hundreds of them
rise to the surface, and devour the liver most
greedily. It may be mentioned that in the bottom
of the pond there is a great profusion of aquatic
plants, the seed of which came through the breed,.
ing•boxes from the Stormontfield lade which com-
municates with the River Tay. Owing to the high I
floods in the Tay in the months of November and I
December 1863, the supply of ova for the breeding-
boxes was not so large as in the previous years.
The number of ova was about 130,000. They were
hatched on the 31st of March last, and the first de-
velopment of complete fish was on the 6th current.
A good deal of ova is yet in the tadpole state at
the bottom of the breeding boxes, which are in 25
lines, 12 boxes in each ; the boxes in all amount to
300. A very large smolt-pond is in course of con-
struction, and the proprietors of salmon fishings on
the Tay who contribute to the promotion of the ex-
periment appear to spare no trouble or expense in
the full development of the scheme.—Scotsman.

ADDRESS TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA.
In the capital of our country we have this day organised
a certain society for the suppression of extravagance, the
diminution of foreign imports, and the practice of economy
in all our social relations, To this society we have given
the name of " The Ladies' National Covenant." Its object
is a good and generous one, which should inspire a spirit of
patriotism worthy of women who are the glory of a great
nation. For this society we have an example and prece-
dent at once august and encouraging.
In 1770 the women of Massachusetts, actuated by the
same impulse that inspires us, assembled in the city of
Boston, as we have met here, and resolved to serve the
country by an effort of self-sacrifice far greater than we are
called upon to make,
On Feb. 9 300 matrons, each the mistress of a household,
met as we do now, and signed a pledge to abstain from the
use of tea, the greatest luxury of the time, and the very
life of all the social gatherings for which our New England
ancestors were so famous. Three days later twice that
number of blooming young girls met in the same place and
signed like pledges. From that brave assemblage of women
non-importation societies sprang up that produced an effect
upon the mother country almost equal to that created by
the success of our revolutionary armies. During all the
terrors of the war these noble women held firmly to
their
pledges, and by their earnestness awoke the sympathy
spiriti
n s ,
and
ce-operation of every sister colony in the land. The k
thus aroused extended itself to imported goodsall
and every hearthstone was turned into an independent
the hatchet,
nianufactury. Thus it was that the flax wheel,
of freedom

and the handloom became sublime

in the hands of American women. The

non-importation,

mentstheir own hands wrought froms tileives,
their husbands and
children. The pledge
which clothed thieehm
they

of t

We, the women of '64, have the same object to attain
and the same duties to perform which were so nobly ac
carapiished by the women of 76. Shall we not follow their
example, and take up, cheerfully, the lesser demands that
the welfare of our country demands ? They gave up the
very comforts of life Without a murmur ; can we refuse
when a sacrifice of feminine vanity alone is required ? Can
we hesitate to yield up luxuries that are so unbecoming

A LAVA BROTH,

We spent Saturday and Sunday at Thingvollum (I
ho.ve put his name in the right case, though travellers ge-
nerally use the genitive, but I shall not treat the other
names thus;. We sketched, fished, and shot—learnt a little
of the Icelandic culinary art, too, from the smoke-dried
servant of Pastor Simon Beck, and taught her a little about
English cookery in return.
As the good priest had nothing to give us, and the
proceeds of our fishery amounted to one trout, we stood a
fair chance of being starved, and the servant maid expressed
her concern for us in vehement terms.

" Bless your heart, old lady I" said Mr. Briggs, " there
is everything needful for making a capital soup scattered
broadcast over the country." Then, turning to me, "It is
an old joke, Padre ; indeed I fear quite a Joe Miller, yet
I'll be bound it is new to the Icelanders.' Then he called
to the servant to bring him two lava blocks of such a size
as would go into a saugepan, as he intended to make broth
out of them. The woman stared, and pulled out a couple
of the stones which formed the hearth.

" They will do capitally, put them into the pot I" "r''''''

The woman placed them carefullly where he desired.

" Now then," said he, " let them simmer gently ; take
care that they are not hard boiled, nor burnt at all ; stir,
stir away, never b 3 afraid of stirring, it extracts tho
flavour I"

With the utmost gravity, the servant complied, and kept
the spoon revolving in the pot, while Mr. Briggs hold his
nose over the steam.

" They are doing nicely ; have you any salt r'
" Ja, ja I" answered she, and she handed him over a
bagful. Ile poured some in, and lot hor continue the
stirring.

"Any flour in the house ?" asked my portly friend.
" Ja, ja ;" and she handed him a mug full of rye meal.
Presently he brought in a couple of tins of Fortnum and
Mason's preserved vegetables, and emptied them in with
the stones.

" It smells good," said the poor woman, with great so-
lemnity : " and this is hraun- suppi (lava-broth) I Wonder•
ful, wonderful 1"

-We'll give it a little extra relish," observed Air.
Briggs, throwing in some slices of concentrated soup.
i 4 Now, old woman, what do you say to my cooking
The servant put her fingers into the pot, then sucked
them, and put them in again.
Mikit goot" (very good) she muttered, in a sad state
of bewilderment : " and all this comes from lava-stones,
too. Wonderful, wonderful I"
" Now for a bowl," called he, and proceeded to pour out
the fluid contents of the saucepan. The smoke-dried servant
bore the bowl to the guest-room, and we did ample justice
to the excellent atone broth.

Court of Common. Council,

A Special Court of Common Council was held yesterday
—the Lord Mayor presided.

GARIBALDI.

Deputy 'WHITE inquired of the Town Clerk what steps
had been taken in relation to the translation of the Cham-
berlain's address to Gen. Garibaldi into the Italian language
and its presentation to him.

The TOWN CLERK (Mr Woodthorpe) said that, in ac-
cordance with the resolution of the Court, he had commu•
nicated with Signor Pistrucci, the professor of Italian at
King's College, and asked him to undertake the duty of
translating the address, but his engagements prevented him
from performing the task as quickly as was required by
reason of the General's sudden departure from England.
He had, however, at his instance communicated with Signor
Tivoli, the professor of Italian at University College, and
he and his son sat up the whole night and carefully tran-
slated the address. The translation was sent on the follow-
ing morning to Sutherland House, but the General had left;
but his son Menotti took charge of it, and conveyed it to
his father, yr returned his warmest thanks for the com-
pliment that had been paid hire by the Corporation.
A short discussion took place as to the best means of ac-
knowledging the services of Signor Tivoli, some of the
members of the Court expressing an opinion that it might
not be agreeable to the feelings of that gentleman to make a
pecuniary acknowledgment. Eventually it was agreed that
the thanks of the Court and a sum of ten guineas should be
presented to Signor Tivoli.
