STATE OF TRADE.

DUNDEE, April 26.—The demand for flax, tow,
and codilla is entirely consumptive, and only small
sales are reported. The Riga ships are Low coming
in, which will supply spinners and keep the market
quiet. Jute is also in very moderate request, and
rather easier to buy. The inquiry for all deacrip•
tuns of yarns, flax, tow, and jute is still active, and
prices are fully maintained. There is no change in
the demand for linen, the orders coming in quite as
fast as they are produced, and manufacturers both
of coarse and fine fabrics arc very busy and largely
foresold.

NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There is a shade re ore do
ing in several branches of the lace trade this v.-eek'
Cotton goods are in a little better request, and rt.!
silk Mechlins and quiltings the demand is very
active. Black silk laces and edgings still remain a
dull sale, but stocks in the dealers' hands are be.
coming lighter. There is still a very little doing
for Germany, and no improvement for the continen••
tal market is expected while matters remain so un.
settled. In hosiery there has been a fair amount of
business doing, and business generally remains
healthy. Yarns are very firm, with an upward
tendency.

FATAL ACCIDENT BY SCALDlNG.—Yesterday a°
inquest was held on the body of James Jones, the
engineer of the Oxford Waterworks Company, who fell
into a vat of boiling liquid at the brewery of Mr. Joel Evso
of that city. It appeared that the vat in question, which
has been in its present poEition upwards of a quarter of le
century, in only raised three inches above the level of the
floor, without any other protection, and the only wonder le
that a casualty similar to the present has not taken place
before. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death,,
and it is understood that steps will be taken to render the
recurrence of such an accident impossible. Mr. Jones, Ncb°
was far advanced in years, was distinguished in his protee‘
sion, his advice having been eagerly sought in many of the
leading engineering projects of the day throughout the
country.

THE FORGED DISPATCH,

The following " Copy of Lord Lyon6's dispatch
referring to the alleged report of the Secretary of
the Navy to the Congress of the Confederate States"
was published yesterday :

LORD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL.— (Received April 3.)
Washington, March 22, 1864.
_ _ _

My Lord,—ln my dispatch of 31st December last I en-
closed an extract from a newspaper containing what pur-
ported to be a copy of a report of Mr. Mallory, the Confede-
rate Secretary of the Navy. Your lordship will recollect
that the supposed report contained passages avowing the
attempts to organise an invasion of the United States from
Canada, and giving details with regard to ships of war stated
to be building for the Confederate Gi(herEment in England
and France.

Some stress has, as your lordship is aware, been laid up n
this document by Mr. Seward in his communications en the
two subjects just mentioned. After alluding to the im-
portance which he had attached to it, Mr, Seward said
to me on the 19th instant that he felt bound to tell
me that he had just discovered that it was a forgery. He
had, he said, taken considerable pains to discover whether
it was authentic when it first appeared, and although he
had been unable to procure any Southern paper containing
it, he had quite satisfied himself that it was genuine.
Recently, however, the person by whom it had been con-
cocted, hearing of his inquiries about it, had thought it
right to let him know that it had been published originally
as a mere jet/ d' esprit, and that partly the amusement which
it had afforded to see every one taken in by it, and partly
the notion that it was injuring the Confederate cause, had
prevented an earlier avowal of the truth.

Mr. Seward stated that it was very remarkable that no
disavowal of the supposed report had, so far as he knew,
appeared in the Southern newspapers. Its authenticity
bad, indeed, been denied by Captain Maury in England,
but Captain Maury might not have had the means of know-
ing for certain whether it was really authentic or not.
There was, however, now no doubt, Mr, Seward said, that
it was a forgery.—l have, &c.,

THANIEs.

Mr. Partridge disposed of the four night charges this
morning in a few minutes, There were two from the K
division and two from the II division. Mr. Partridge asked
Inspector Holloway, of the II division, how he accounted
for the quiet state of the district. There was only one
charge from the H division yesterday, and very few from
the K division. The Inspector replied there were but few
ships
nd no many
t sailors in the port. Another
reason
of crime
rime in the II division was the
removal of a great part of llosemary-lane, and the
u fpo lately,
r diminution
dispersion of the people to other quarters, in con-
sequence of the construction of the new extension rail-
way from the Blackwall line to the London Dock.
Margaret Tulley and Eleanor Sweeney, two hard drink-
ing Irishwomen, were charged with stealing a pint pot from
the Blue Anchor public house, No. 5, Cable-street, St.
George-in-the-East.
The prisoners were found in the Shovel public house,
intoxicated. Sweeny dropped the pot from her person.
The other'prisoner said she picked it up in the " Shovel,"
that she gave it to the waiter, who would not receive it, and
then handed it to Mrs. Tulley;_

Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoners to 21 days' im-
prisonment and hard labour.
The magistrate then proceeded with the hearing of the
summonses, 24 in number, which are likely to occupy him
for the remainder of the day. There are also several re-
mands.

A now contemporary, The Owl, announces that
it is intended to cou,er the Garter on the Marquis of Alice-
bury, and that the House of Lords is about to receive au
accession in the person of Lord Ookham, who has vindi-
cated before the Peers his right to be considered the lawful
inheritor of thy; Barony of Wentworth.
GARIBALDI AND MAzznit.—ln regard to the
_Record's assertion yesterday, that Garibaldi never
used the words in which he is said at a festive meeting to
have called Mazzini his "friend and teacher," it will be
sufficient to remark that, in respect to the occasion referred
to (the luncheon given to Garibaldi on the 17th inst., at
'feddington, by M. Ilerzm), in the last number of M.
Herzen's own journal, La Gloche, we find the speech of
the General reported verbatim in the original French. The
followingis the passage in question:—" Quand j'6tais jeune
et que je n'avais quo des aspirations, j'ai eherche un homme
qui pflt me conseiller et guider mes jeunes annexe; je l'ai
cherchCi comma l'homme qui a coif cherche Peen. Cet

The Price of Gold.

-
The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mule pm., an d
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. QM
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
By advices fromilamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather
more than I.loth per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg.
rho course of exchange at New York on London for bills
60 days' sight is about 162 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about to per cent. At those rates Owe is no prat
ea the importatiouoi gold from the United States.
