GENERAL MOURAVIEFF'S DECREE.
BERLIN, July 1.

The Word Deutsche Allgemetne Zeitung of to-day
publishes the following as the genuine text of the
decree issued by General Mouravieff against the
wearing of mourning by Polish women :

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)
GALICIAN-VOLHYNIAN FRONTIER, June 23.
Ve.zy few particulars of indubitable authenticity
have reached me as to the proceedings of General
Mouravieff at Wilna, but quite enough to stamp
him as one of the most savage monsters who have
appeared in Europe since the days of the French
Revolution. Of course this is not the Mouravieff
who took Kars, or he would not have allowed
Kmeti to escape, and would have murdered his
prisoners. It is well known that the Mouravieffs
in Russia are divided into the Mouravieffs who
hang and the ,Mouravieffs who get banged, and the
bloodthirsty chief who is allowed by his " well-in-
tentioned" Emperor to rule at Wilna, 'and to execute
without even the semblance of a ,trial men who
have not so much as contravened one law of the
Russ an Empire, is base enough to have boasted
that he is not of the same breed as the unfortunate
and noble-minded Mouravieff who suffered on the
scaffold at St. Petersburg with Pestel, Ryleieff, and
Bestoujeff, after the failure of the insurrection of
1825. The Polish newspapers agree in stating that
Mouravieff has ordered all ladies who may transgress
his regulations on the subject of mourning, national
costume, &c., to be whipped, but whether he issued
the command publicly, or made the threat privately,
does not appear. It is certain that the relatives of
Lithuanian gentlemen who have joined the insur-
rection fully believe that the mothers, sisters, or
daughters of the latter are being detained as hos-
tages. I also know that until the news of Count
Plater's execution arrived in Cracow several of his
friends, who took the deepest interest in his fate, and
imagined that he had already died of the wounds in-
flicted upon him by the Prussian peasants of
Livonia, had not heard of any accusation whatever
being made against him. That he intended to join
the insurrection no one will do him the injustice to
doubt. That he had committed any illegal act up
to the moment of his arrest has not, as far as I can
learn, been even asserted. He was killed because he
bore an illustrous name, and because the Russians
know that whenever there is a national movement
in Poland some of the Plateis are sure to be at the
head of it. " I saw," says a correspondent of the
Czar, writing from Dunaburg, "this young man of
26 walk with brow erect and with a smile on his lips
to the place of execution. He did not fear his execu-
tioner, and after the sentence of death had been
read to him he went down on his knees, prayed fer-
vently, embraced his confessor, and put on the con-
demned shirt himself. The soldiers then bandaged
his eyes and marched him forwards. A report was
heard, and the victim rendered his noble soul to his
Creator. I withdrew in silence, and passing the
only Catholic church in the place, entered it to offer
np a prayer for the unhappy young man. There I
found all his family assembled, and their heart-
rending sobs told what a loss they had sustained.
The mother alone was calm, and did her best to con-
sole her poor children. "Do not weep," she said ;
"you see that I am not weeping, but I should have
shed bitter tears if he had trembled at the sentence
of the Russian Government. I know that he did
not, for I saw him before be left the prison, and
prayed with him and for him."
One word more as to General Mouravieff. When,
about a year and a half ago, he was forced to resign
his post as Minister of Domains—for which, as for
every other occupation except that of executioner,
he is by nature and education quite unfitted—every
respectable Russian congratulated himself on his
country being at length freed from such an incubus.
Yet, at the present moment, Mouravieff is thought
by the Government to be " just the man for
Poland," and the Polish papers even assert that he
is soon to replace the too gentle Berg at Warsaw.
General Berg, by the way, is said to be on the
worst possible terms with the Marquis Wielopolski,
and to have become at length fully persuaded that
he is the chief director of the Polish National
Government. I do not think I have mentioned that
the Marquis's steward at Chroberz (in the King-
dom, near the Galician frontier) was compelled last
month to pay 17,000 Polish florins (£425) as the 10
per cent. contribution from. the estate to the ex-
penses of the war. The steward did not positively
refuse to pay, but made excuses, saying that he had
not enough money in the house, should like the
collector to call again after the wool fair, and so on.
Ultimately, however, the sum demanded was handed
over.
The following official justification of the late
transfer of money from the Exchequer of the Con-
gress-Kingdom to the treasury of the National Go.
vernment has just been published :
" The object of the National Government is not only to
employ all the resources of the country in the insurrection,
but also to deprive the enemy of the means of repressing it,
by keeping from him all means of continuing the war. The
money of the country must be employed in working out its
liberation ; accordingly, Stanislas Janowski and Stanislas
Hebda have, on the order of the National Government, car-
ried over the sum of 24,012,992 Polish florins 'end 20 grossy
(£600,000) from the treasury of the Kingdom' to that of
the National Government. The National Government, in
making this fact public, declares that the officials Janowski
and Hebda have rendered a service to their country, and
that, by the order of the National Government, they have
been sent abroad on a special mission."
One of the two chief cashiers left a letter for the
Marquis Wielopolski, saying that he had served the
Government for 38 years, but that he could no longer
bear to see the public money spent in paying spies
and sbirri, and had therefore made over the sums
intrusted to him to the Government recognised by
the Polish nation. One might imagine from this
letter that during the last 38 years, and until the
present insurrection, such things as spies and sbirri
had never been heard of in Poland.
All the officials of the Treasury are said to have
escaped except one, named Koltanowski, who, fail-
ing to get away, committed suicide, fearing (as the
Gazeta Narodowa states) that he would be tortured,
and in his agony might say something to compro-
mise his associates.
Letters from Warsaw say that the rage of the
Grand Duke on hearing of the transfer of the
24,000,000 Polish sixpences was unbounded, and
the execution of Abicht, the official, and Konarski,
the Capuchin monk, on the following day is said
to have been one of its results. Konarski was
formerly one of the chaplains of Langiewicz's army.
He afterwards joined a small detachment, which
soon after, its formation was dispersed. He then
attached himself to the corps commanded by Kono-
wicz, and was taken prisoner when Konowicz him-
self was killed. It must be understood that Konarski
was never a combatant, but occupied himself in the
insurgent camp with tending the sick, and giving
religious consolation to the dying.
The (National) Governor of Warsaw has issued a
proclamation in which he complains that some of
the inhabitants have been base enough to pay their
taxes to the Russian Government, and warns them
against any repetition of the offence. It appears,
too, that some of the contractors who have been in
the habit of supplying the Russian army with corn
have written to the National Government to ask
permission to dispose of their present stock. The
Government replies once for all that it has issued its
orders, can make no exceptions, and will answer no
more letters on the subject.
As to the officials dismissed from their posts for
aiding the national cause, the Government engages
to provide for them, and to reinstate them in due
time, and in the meanwhile cautions all Poles against
replacing them.
Finally, in reply to the Russian order command-

" Even before political troubles broke out in this
country the larger portion of the female population
of the town of Wilna had commenced to wear dif-
ferent kinds of .mourning in order to signify their
sympathy with the revolutionary movements in the
kingdom of Poland. The mourning consisted of
black dresses with or without white borders, or
black bonnets with white feathers, together with
certain tokens previously agreed upon, such as
metal bracelets with. the arms of Poland and of Li-
thuania combined, broken crosses with crowns of
thorns, 84c. These manifestations still continue in
greater or less degree. As, however, all sympathy
with the present insurrectionary movements, simi-
larly with rebellious acts, is forbidden by law, the
General-Commanding in the country ordered the
Governmental Chief upon the 12th of June (31st of
May) to issue the following orders, in order to sup-
press the criminal manifestaticks

"' 1. Proclamation is to be made throughout the
town of Wilna that mourning and the wearing of
black dresses and other revolutionary symbols
cannot at present be permitted.
" ' 2. Officials are to be instantly dismissed from
their posts in all oases where females belonging to
their families have appeared publicly in black
dresses or other mourning garb.
" 3. Females, without distinction of position,
calling, and:nationality, who appear in public places
in black dresses or generally attired in mourning, or
with revolutionary accessories to the toilette, are to
be punished in the following 'way :—For the first
offence a fine of 25 silver roubles. Upon repetition
of the offence such women are to be arrested, in
order that they may be treated as persons who par-
ticipate in the insurrection.

" ' 4. In case the guilty parties do not pay the
fines imposed, a sufficient portion of their property
is to be immediately sold to defray the amount.
"5. The fines are to be paid over to the Go-
vernmental Chief, and will be devoted to the sup-
port of families in the rural districts whose houses
have been plundered and devastated by the insur-
rectionary band.

" 6. Persons mourning for their nearest relatives
must produce legal proofs to the police of the actual
death of such relatives. They will only be allowed
to wear mourning for the period recognised by or-
dinary custom upon compliance with this requisi-
tion.

factory at that place turns out, in addition, from
500 to 600 rifles a month, and means have been
adopted which will soon greatly increase the supply.
It possesses, moreover, a cannon foundry, and the
rifle ordnance which is turned out is reported as
being of a very superior hind. The system has
been adopted by the Prince of placing whole dis-
tricts under martial law. This is accounted for

under a pretext of putting down brigandage, but it
seems that there is no ground for this statement,
and travellers recently arrived declare that they
have traversed the whole Principality without see-
ing any indication of it. The obvious object, no
doubt, is to place the country under his complete
control, and he has recently declared that he will

extend the system as circumstances may require.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
!he beginning of the year 1860, the Royai National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society. and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
tor' which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,500 on Life-boats, Life-bolt
Transporting-can lazes, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their gratefal sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whi h can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
The Committee gratefully acknowledge the following con-
tributions:—

" 7. All that has been ordered in the above six
paragraphs relates equally to individuals of the male
sex found publicly wearing mourning symbols, as
also to persons furnished with czamarks, confede-
ratkis, long boots above their trousers, or other
tokens of the insurrectionary party.

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE,

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
CONSTANTINOPE, June 25.

An intelligent English officer, who for the last six
months has devoted his time to the study of the
Servian question, in connection with the difficulties
which had arisen between the Porte and that de-

pendency, has just returned from that coantry, and
the information which in that space of time he has
acquired on the subject of the Servian Government
and the Servian people affords an instructive lesson
with reference to the irresponsible statements which
go abroad, and which, for want of accurate know-
ledge on the subject, remain uncontradicted, and
from the mere force of persistence and repetition
gradually creep into our political creed as articles of
faith. It is not likely that we shall see the end of
the Servian question for some time. It is one
which diplomacy will never settle, and which can
only find a solution in an armed struggle, and this
will eventually decide whether the Turks are able to
maintain their present position in regard to their
semi-dependent provinces, and to strengthen their
hold on them by crushing the turbulent and ambi-
tious aspirations which are daily gaining ground;
or whether the elements of opposition, becoming too
strong to be subdued, will open up a new phase in
connection with the great Eastern question, by re-
ducing it to a trial of strength between the Suze-
rain Power and its vassal. For this reason it is not
inopportune to avail oneself of the new lights which
are brought to bear on Servian affairs by an eye-
witness who has had every opportunity of arriving
at a correct estimate of the state of things in that
province, and whose authority is the more trust-
worthy because it is not vitiated by any precon-
ceived ideas or prejudices, or any partiality on the
one side or the other. It is represented by my in-
formant that the greatest difficulty which attended
ilis investigation, and which it would seem is often
experienced in Servia by any travellers whose state-
ments are likely to influence public opinion abroad,
arose from the impediments which were constantly
opposed by the .official class against any indepen-
dent and free intercourse with the people them-
selves. So long therefore as his observations were
made under the intimidating influence which the
Court and Government exercise over the popula-

tion, he was met by a certain amount of unanimity
in opinion hostile to the Turks. In time, however,
his suspicions were aroused, and he determined to
rid himself of the surveillance which dogged his
movements, and to endeavour by constant and fami-
liar intercourse with the people themselves to ascer-
tain what their real feeling was. It was not with-
out much difficulty that he contrived from time to
time to escape from the official restraint which

was put upon him ; and he declares that in
dexurciunrg-
sions in the very heart of the country, and in a
close and minute survey of public
his wanderings, extending from one extremity of
Servia to the other, he found, with very few excep-
tions, the whole population more opposed to the
revolutionary and encroaching policy of the Go-
vernment than to the nominal protectorate of Tur-
key. Nor can this be wondered at when it is con-
sidered that Servia, although comparatively rich in
the resources which nature affords, is poor as regards
the development of those resources. When, out of a
population of one million of inhabitants, not less
than 105,000 men are employed in the service of the
Militia, the consequences to the country as regards
the interests of agriculture and industry must be
disastrous ; and such it would seem is the real state
of the case. Under the influence of the ambitious
projects of the Prince the province has assumed
lately all the terrors of a military despotism. The
general expression of the people when they can
give vent to their feelings unrestrained is to this
effect:—" Our independence is guaranteed by the
protecting Powers ; the Turks do not interfere with
us. We are in no fear of aggression from other
quarters ; we require all our availablelhands for the
extension of agricultural pursuits: Why should we
be forced into the adoption of a military system
which is utterly incompatible with our require-
ments, and be ground down 'with intolerable bur-
dens in the interest of an ambitious policy, from
which we can reap no advantage ?"

that the various reforms which have been intro-
duced from time to time have not been barren of
results, the Turkish Government has been preparing
for some time past a statement of the present posi-
tion of the country as compared to its condition

superficial observer. There is, undoubtedly, a great
deal in it which is true, and which bears testimony

hat some improvement has taken place since the

promulgation of the Hatti-Sherif of Gulhane,which
is taken in this exposition as the point of departure.
There are other points, however, which, although

they are dealt with in a very plausible manner, do
not bear the test of close investigation, and dimi-
nish, therefore, its weight and trustworthiness. As
regards the commercial prosperity of the country,
they have been obliged to obtain their materials
from sources other than their own, for it will hardly
be believed there is no means at present in their
own departments, of obtaining statistical informa-
tion of any description. In dealing with the export
and import trade they have to pass over the former,
as it would have been next to impossible to arrive
at any accurate calculation on the subject. In regard
to the latter, they have evidently obtained their
figures from English and French sources, as it is
with those two countries that they deal in pointing
to the gradual increase of trade ; and, so far, their
statements may be taken as correct. It is thus that
they show that the importations from England alone,
which in 1831 stood only at £BBB,OOO, have gradually
and in increasing proportion reached in the present
day the considerable amount of £5,600,000 ; while
those of France show for the corresponding period
an increase from 16,700,000 f. to 91,800,000 f. They

then point to the great augmentation of the public
revenue in the same period, which it is unnecessary
I should develop here, as I have:pointed it out in
other letters. They endeavour to establish a parallel
between their own position and that of England and
France, in regard to the gradual and necessary in-
crease of expenditure and the corresponding aug-
mentation of revenue ; and they draw an argument

from this comparison favourable to the march of pro
gress and improvement in their own country. They
take credit to themselves for the abolition of ob-
noxious taxes ; such as, for instance, as the
" haratch" or capitation tax, and for the reforms
is regard to the better collection of the revenue,
which have yielded such unexpected advantages.
They dilate on the benefits resulting from the
adoption of a free-trade policy ; and, after entering
into other details, too minute to be transcribed
here, they point out triumphantly that there is no
country in which the people are so little taxed.
This may be true in theory, but is not borne out by
practice ; for, although the amount of taxation is
not very large, the irresponsible manner in which
it is collected by rapacious administrators, and also
by the farmers of the revenue (dimier 8), renders the
system of taxation, as now practised, the most
grinding and oppressive of the many abuses of
which the provincial Governors are guilty.
The weakest point in this paper, and one which
the Turks had better have left alone, is the bold
statement that there has been a considerable in-
crease in the population. Strictly speaking, this
assertion is correct, but it is unwise that they should
bring forward in vindication of themselves, an ar-
gument which is certainly a strong one against
them. It is hardly necessary to say that, while the
Christian population has increased, the Mussulman
element has considerably diminished. It is need-
less to enter into the various causes which contri-
bute to this diminution, the principal one of which
is to be found in the system of conscription. This
gradual decline of the Turkish race is a question
which the most sanguine partisans of Turkish rule
cannot answer satisfactorily.
In Committee of the Civil Service Estimates in
the House of Commons a discussion arose on the
Estimates for repairs and improvements of the Em-
bassy-houses at Constantinople, which afforded an
instance of the irresponsible manner in which every-
thing regarding this country seems to be dealt with.
One member boldly stated that Therapia being three
miles from Pera there was no use in keeping up
two houses so near each other. Lord Palmerston,
with equal correctness, said that the distance was
six miles, and that, as all Turkish Ministers go to
Therapia in the summer, it is necessary that our
Embassy should follow them there. Now, it so
happens that Therapia is 12 miles from Pera, and
that there is not one Turkish Minister residing
there. Another member stated, from his own
knowledge, that the Embassy in Pera commanded a
view of the Sea of Marmora on one side and of the
Black Sea on the other. It is generally known, but
seems to have been forgotten on this occasion, that
the two seas are separated by a channel 22 miles in
length called the Bosphorus. The fact is that at
the commencement of the hot season Pera becomes
uninhabitable. Every one, therefore, who possesses
£lOO or £2OO, or, not possessing it, is in a position
to borrow that sum, immediately invests it in rent-
ing a house on the cool shores of the Bosphorus. It
would be unreasonable, therefore, that the Ambassa-
at
and, although Turkish Ministers do not reside

residence in the neigh.

his father in the office of Remembrancer, and served the
corporation for the long period of more than half a century.
On the motion of Captain Parker, the resignation was ac-
cepted, and a reference was made to a committee to inquire
into the nature, duties, and emoluments of the office, and to
consider the expediency of amalgamating it partly with the
office of town-clerk and parly with that of city solicitor. A
communication was laid before the Court from Mr. Deputy
Ihrison, resigning his seat as a representative of the corpo-
ration at the Metropolitan Board of Works,for the reasonthat
the part he had felt it to be his duty t.) take in opposing the
construction by the corporation of the proposed new street
from Blackfriars to the Mansion-house had subjected him
to censure from some members of the Court. The letter gave
' rise to a long and occasionally angry and personal discus-
sion, but which had little or no public interest, and a resolu-
tion was passed expressive of theregret of the Court, enter-
-1 taining, as they did, a high appreciation of the long and
valuable services of Mr. Deputy Harrison, that any cireum-
stanco should have occurred to induce him to tender his re-
signation as a member of the Metropolitan Board. It was
then left to the Lord Mayor to fix au early day for the elec-
tion. On the motion of Mr. Rudkin, the Markets Improve-
ment Committee were instructed to obtain by public com-
petition designs, plans, and estimates for the proposed
Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market ; premiums of £6OO
and £2OO being afterwards awarded by the Court for the two
most approved designs, which were then to become the pro-
perty of the corporation.

STATE OP TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July 3.--With improved telegrams
from Calcutta, together with the dying away of the
rumour of Lord Russell's resignation, and of all
fears of foreign intervention, our market again as-
sumes its former aspect, and there has been a con-
siderable business done in yarns to-day; in some
cases at a slight advance on Tuesday's prices. At
the prices current on Tuesday a much larger busi-
ness could have been effected, but sellers have re-
gained confidence to some extent, and are demand-
ing previous rates. The buying has been nearly
for all markets, including the home trade. The
latest telegram to hand from Calcutta is dated
June 8. It reports cotton dearer, and an improved
business in cotton goods. Skirtings of Sib 4oz had
advanced is per piece ; other kinds 6d to 9d per
piece from the late lowest point. Bannermill 40's
twist (American cotton) had risen 11d. per lb. At
Bombay, June 9, cotton was rather lower, but pieca
goods were improving in price. We have no im-
provement of demand for cloth in Manchester to-
day, but the better accounts from Calcutta are ex-
pected to lead to business. Prices are rather firmer
than they were on Tuesday, but the demand, for all
quarters, is really very flat. We hear of some
offers making for certain descriptions of print-
ing cloths, but generally at prices which
are not acceptable to producers. Small as the
demand has been lately for all markets, except
those of India and China, it has been pretty nearly
equal to the demand, and hence there are few or
no stocks. It is a feature of the market just now
that nearly all the business doing is of a bona fide
character, and for immediate export. Buyers would
probably do more business if they could find stocks,
but many manufacturers will not produce unless to
order. At the same time, it must be remembered
that, owing to so many mills being closed, some
kinds of cloth, of peculiar and very superior
makes, have ceased to be produced, and buyers
are unable to meet with them at any price,
which leads to much inconvenience and disap-
pointment. Some of these buyers will not enter
into contract for the supply of these gcods. They
would take them if in stock and available for imme-
diate shipment, but they will undertake no risk, as
a future supply would involve. Messrs, Da Fay
and Co., in their monthly trade report of the Ist
inst., say—" The continental yarn trade has for
some time past been restricted to the smallest wants,
bearing out what we previously remarked, that in
many quarters coarse home-spun flax is used in-
stead of cotton. For the five months of the present
year, compared with 1861 and 1862, the exports to
Prussia, Hanover, Hanse Town, and Holland show
the following decrease :-1861, 32,269,78711 a. ; 1862,
20,368,4921 b ; 1863, 8,362,9851 b ; being 58 per cent.
less than 1862, and 74 per cent. less than 1861."
The falling off in goods had not been quite so large,
amounting in the five months named to about one-
half as compared with 1861, and about ozac-fourth as
compared with 1862.
LEEDS.—The trade report of the Leeds Chamber
of Commerce for the month of July is as follows :
" In the woollen trade an average amount ofbusi-
ness has been done during the past month. The
demand for plain fine black cloths still continues good,
and a considerable quantity has been sold both for
home trade and export. The demand for light sum-
mer goods has been very small, and the manufac-
turers are now employed in preparing for the autumn
trade, and are generally well employed to a con-
siderable extent to order. Since the conclusion of
the sales in London on the 3d June there has
been
no new feature in the wool trade. Prices are steady,
and the demand for all descriptions moderate: Con-
trary to the expectations gene
ht an ad-
tg ined
this country, German wools harvnell
vauce of from 2 to 5 per cent. upon last year's
generally
erta
prices at the fairs recently held at Breslau and Ber-
lin. English combing wools maintain their price
with great firmness, but no great amount of business
has been done in them. Tlu're has been a good de-
mand for most descriptions of flax, and prices have
been very firm. The new arrivals from Russia are
said to be still very
indifferent in quality, and com-
piaints are made that less confidence can now be
placed in the marks'
0. orders. which causes
stnnners to be very
cautious in sen'lnbe- • out '
the accounts of
the growing crop abroad are very favourable, but
t s
the crops in -hi country do not promise so well, the
plant having suffered greatly from the dry weather
of 313 - There has been a
brisk
demand for all
'Lind, of tows excepting Petersburg. Hemps main-
tain their price well and are in request. In yarns
business has not been very brisk,
but the spinners
are tolerably well employed, and have received
n,or© orders during the latter part of the month.
The demand for threads is pretty good. The makers
of best iron are not so busy as last month, and
orders are by no means so plentiful. The makers of
best merchants'
iron and plates are better employed.
The machine makers are pretty well supplied with.
orders. The engineer tool trade has improved and
may be said to be tolerably good. Makers of rail-
way plant are very busy. In cut nails, a large
business is being done, especially for export. There
has only been a limited demand for heavy leather,
and prices have somewhat gi •
ven way. In dressing
goods a fair business has been done, and for some
articles, as calf skins, the
, demand has been in ex-
cess of the supply. P • rices are steady. Rapeseed
and linseed are both very high relatively to the
price of oils. The •
growing crop of German rape-
seed is well spoken of,
and
cutting has already com-
menced in some districts. As usual at this season,
the demand for rape oil has been small. Linseed
oil is exceedingly scarce, and the price very firm,
with an upward tendency, in consequence of the
deficient crop in the Baltic provinces andelsewhere.
Cakes are firm, but not much inquired for. Olive
oil is very firm, and in fair demand. Prices on the
other side have already advanced. The paper trade
still continues depressed, chiefly on occount of the
depressed consumption in the cotton districts:
There has been a full supply of cattle, and prices
have generally ruled high. Number shown (four
markets) bessts, 1,802; sheep, 15,460. The supplies
of corn have not been large, and prices of wheat
have been very firm until the end of the month,
when the very favourable weather induced buyers
to uct with great caution. The demand for bailey
has been quiet. Oats and beans without much
change."
NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—At this exchaege.hali to-
day there was a bettor attendance of merchants and
manufacturers, and the demand for lace yarns was
improved at fully late prices. There is also more
doing in spun silks, and good prices arebeing made.
Hosiery yarns maintain

COMMON COUNCIL.

On Thursday at a meeting of the Common Council, held
at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding, the subject of the
election of Mr. Cubitt, the late Lord Mayor, as President
of St. Bartholomew's Hospital,was brought under considera-
tion. At present, as for some time past, a fierce quarrel exists
between the members of the corporation who are governors
of the hospital on the one hand, and the donation governors
on the other, as to the class to which the governing body
at large shall elect their president, and the more interest
attaches to the question from the belief that it affects all
the Royal Hospitals of the city of London, richly tn..
dowed as they are, and not that of St. Bartholomew
alone. The custom has been to elect an alderman, and
often the Lord Mayor for the time being, when a vacancy
has occurred ; but to this there have been exceptions, as
when a few years ago the Duke of Cambridge was chosen to
be President of Christ's Hospital over the head of Alderman
Sidney, the then chief magistrate of the city, and again
quite recently, when the governors of St. Bartholomews
elected Mr. Cubitt to be their chief, in his capacity of a do-
nation governor, and after he had ceased to be analdermaion:
