REPRESENTATION OF CORK AND TRALEE.--DUB-
LIN, Jan. 26.—At a meeting to-day of the Cork Liberal
Franchise Association, a letter was read from Dr. Lyons,
M.P. for that city, announcing his intention of resigning
on the opening of the session. Mr. M'Kenna, a director
of the National Bank, starts forTraleo in the Ultramontane
interest.

An interesting discovery has just been made in a
tumulus at Ekaterinoslaw, in Russia. It consists of a trea-
sure which formerly belonged to a chief of the Runs. Among
the different articles is a heavy gold diadem, in which is
set a cameo of amethyst of ancient Roman workmanship,
also a large collar, bracelets, and drinking cups, with
handles formed by animals, the whole of which are in gold of
remarkable workmanship.
The Marseilles journals complain that the wea-
ther continues, as for nearly two months past, almost in-
cessantly wet, and far too mild for the season. In several
other parts of the South the state of the atmosphere is
nearly the same. The snow which fell at Lyons some
days back has been succeeded by heavy rains, accompanied
by a south wind and high temperature. The Rhone has
risen considerably within the last two days.
The Madrid journals state that the Spanish iron-
clad frigate Numancia, which has been getting ready for
sea at Cadiz, and was to leave that port for Callao on the
26th inst., to take part in the attack on the sea defences of
that place, has received counter orders, and will not leave
Spain. This decision is attributed to the last news received
from the Chincha Islands, according to which a settlement
of the Hispano-Peruvian difference appeared probable.
The half-yearly meeting of shareholders of the
Scottish Australian Investment Company was
held to-day, and a dividend recommended at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum.

During the last few days rather less activity has
prevailed in the Markets for Foreign and Colo-
nial Produce. Sugars have barely sustained
previous rates, and coffee has been less inquired
for. Rice in some instances has been sold a

ightly reduced rates, while in tallow the opera-
tions have been confined to a few speculative trans-
actions for forward delivery, at about previous
quotations.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of
the Oriental Financial Corporation was held to-day.
The report presented for adoption stated that the
gross profits from the commencement of the business

in April last have amounted to £21,762 13s. 2d.,
which, after deducting expenses of management,
rebate of interest on bills, and all other charges,
and carrying 10 per cent. to the credit of prelimi-
nary expenses and office furniture, leaves a balance
of £16,975 18s. 11d. Out of this sum the directors
have appropriated £706 3s. to the payment of
ofad
