This Company has been formed for the purpose of sup-
plying a want long existing among merchants in London,
trading with the Cape of Good Hope, for direct and regular
steam communication from London.
In order to show the profitable character of the busi-
ness to be transacted by such a line of steamers, it is
only necessary to point to the extraordinary results ob-
tained by the Union Company for their line from South-
ampton to the Cape.
It is intended for these steamers to call either at Fal-
mouth or Plymouth for tho embarkation and delivery of
mails and passengers.
There is a very large and remunerative passenger
traffic. The exports and imports of the colony are yearly
increasing, and the preference shown for steam carriage
over the sailing lines is becoming greater, as merchants
recognise that the saving in time, interest of money, and
insurance more than repay the additional freight obtained
by steamships.
A fleet of steamers has already been secured under
favourable circumstances, and at a moderate price. They
aro new, of full power, and of high class, and it is confi-
dently expected that with them the Company will be able
to complete the passage from London to Cape Town in
about 30 days.
The steamers will be transferred to the Company at cost
price, and there will be no promotion money.
Two-thirds of the capital have already been subscribed
and the share-list will consequently remain open for a
short period only.

POSTAL SYSTEM IN SCOTLAND.

Sir R. ANSTRUTHER asked the Secretary to the Trea-
sury whether any measures were about to be taken to
remedy the defects in the postal system of Fife so frequently
complained of ?
Mr. F. PEEL said the arrangements of the Post-office
were not satisfactory in Fife, but one thing necessary to
remedy the matter was that the North British Railway
should run more frequently trains. This, however, they
were not disposed to do, but the matter was stilli n progress
and he hoped the result would be satisfactory.

New Music,

TILE FIREMAN." Addison and Lucas, Regent-
street.

" The Fireman " is a very capital characteristic
song. The words are by C. H. Randolph, Esq.,
and the music by F. Osborne Williams. It is in
the key of F, the accompaniment is highly effective,
and altogether there is a spirit and dash about the
composition perfectly exhilarating. The song is
certain to become a favourite during the ensuing
musical season. It is specially dedicated to Capt.
Hodges, whose exertions for the preservation of the
property of others, at his own expense, entitles him
to the highest praise; in addition to which, the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the song are to be devoted to a
very benevolent object.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, March 28.—The market for ship-
ping yarns is again very quiet and depressed, and to
make sales producers would have to take at least
ld. per lb. less than on this day week, and even at
this decline only a very limited business would be
practicable. This branch of the market closes with
very considerable depression, and prices still tend
downwards. The market for home-trade yarns is
quite as dull as that for export spinnings, and not-
withstanding the comparatively low range of prices
prevailing, buyers seem to have no confidence in
the depression having reached nearly its lowest
point. The distrust -which prevails is very
marked. The prices asked to-day are fully id.
per lb. below those of last Friday, and yet even at
these low rates exceedingly little business has been
possible. In the cloth market this has been one of
the gloomiest days we have known this year.
Although the stocks in the hands'of manufacturers
are light, and the makers of cloth have, many of
them, very considerable contracts to complete, prices
are rapidly declining. The advices by the Canada
steamship from America have given a wide-spread
impression here that the struggle is near its termi-
nation, and no one seems to have any confidence in
operations at present prices, though there is great
doubt in the minds of many people whether, the first
effects arising from the collapse of the American war
over, we should not have a rally in cotton goods to
something above present rates. We have no failures,
and yet the air seems filled with rumours of a very
disturbing character, and perhaps it is nearly as
much to these as to the nature of the American ad-
vices that we owe the present unwillingness of mer-
chants to operate and the want of confidence which
prevails. Printers and madapollams-are quoted 6d.
per piece lower than last Tuesday, shirting's 3d. to
6d. (and in some cases 9d.) lower, jaconnots 3d. to
4d. lower, and long-cloths and T-cloths 3d. per
piece lower. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of
this day's cloth-market :—" We have a drooping
market since last Tuesday, and the late American
advices have added still more to the depression. To-
day buyers abstain altogether from operations, or
only offer very reduced rates. We close with but a
small business, and at very irregular prices."
LEEDS, 28th.—There has been a limited attend-
ance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, and
the business done has been considerably below an
average. The goods purchased were of a miscellane-
ous character, but included quite as much ordinary
plain as light fancy goods. The coldness of the
weather is put forward as the reason for the inac-
tivity in the market ; but there are other combining
causes to the same end, such as the approach of a
very eventful crisis in American affairs, the near-
ness of the time for the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer to produce his Budget, and general
anticipation of a Parliamentary election through-
out the United Kingdom in the course of the
ensuing summer. All these circumstances
tend to check speculation and enterprise in

Whipping at Police Stations.

A Parliamentary return, issued yesterday, makes
known a correspondence which has passed between
Sir Richard Mayne and the magistrates of Barnet,
relative to the whipping of juvenile offenders at the
Barnet station-house. It seems that two boys under
the age of 16, were sentenced to be whipped, and
to avoid their being sent to prison, the inspector at
Barnet was asked to carry out the sentence
at the station. This he refused to do, and
the boys were, consequently, sent ten miles to
St. Albans to be flogged at the prison. Sir
Mayne states that in 1850 and in 1857 similar ap-
plications were made by magistrates in other dis-
tricts, and in each case he pointed out various strong
objection to the infliction of such apunishment by
the police, and the discontent that would be caused
amongst them if they were required to inflict it. The
Barnet magistrates were not satisfied, and requested
that instructions might•be given to carry into effect
in future similar orders. Sir R. Mayne replies that
he does not think the police can comply "unless pre-
cautions are taken by the magistrate ;to guard against
any abuse of thepower proposed to be given, andthat
the sentence should not beinflicted if, from the state
of health of the prisoner or other causes, dangerous
consequences might ensue. For these purposes some
persons should attend on the part of the magistrates
to see that the .punishment is duly inflicted accord-
_

ing to the sentence, and a competent medical man,
appointed by the magistrates; be present during the
punishment. I understand that when the punishment
of whipping is inflicted in a prison, such proper pre-
cautions are always taken. I have also to observe
that I cannot allow the police station to be used for in-
flicting the punishment ; there are not only police
constables residing there, but women and children;
who ought not to bo shocked by such scenes.,
From a special report of the police superintendenb,
in the case, it seems that the magistrates requested
the police to whip the boys in the station yard/
" which," says the superintendent, " is immediately
under the windows of the station, where the inspector s
wife and children reside, also a married constable
and his family and six single men. Each boy was t(,)
receive 12 stripes on the naked back with a birch.
The petty sessions court was within the liberty oli
St. Albans, where the whipping is done in the yard
of the gaol under the direction of a surgeon ; an
the expense of conveying a prisoner there from Bar-
net—which was a part of the magistrate's case—is
only Bs. Gd.
