CANADA.

QUEBEC, JUNE 7.
The Canadian Parliament will rise on the 9th

inst.

The Railway Amalgamation Bill has passed both
houses, after undergoing considerable modification.

The new tariff, increasing the duties on tea,
sugar, and other articles, will probably come into
operation on the 9th inst.

BERLIN, JUNE 18.

The semi-official Allgemeine Preussiselie ( Stern)
Zeitung of to-day concludes an article on the recent
measures in Electoral-Hesse as follows:
"In the whole of Germany there exists no diffe-
rence of opinion as to the inevitable necessity of
rapidly progressing with this urgent question.
" Prussia is the lout able to look quietly upon
any intentional hesitation on the part of the Elec-
toral Government.

" We confidently expect that no such hesitation
will occur, and that it will not, therefore, be
necessary to give to the undiminished military
arrangements of Prussia that effect which was only
postponed on account of a hop© of the readiness of
Cassel to carry out the desired reforms."

Bentley's Miscellany.

Mr. Ainsworth's tale is in its third book. Thanks
to Mr. Candish, Tradescant and Chatteris are saved
from the Jews, and the former wins largely at play.
The writer of the "World's May Meeting" is severe
upon Captain Fowkes's architectural effort, which
he terms "the ugliest building ever seen except in
a nightmare ;" whilst he says that, "Ever since,
they undertook their arduous duties, the Commis-
sioners appear to have had the Court of Bankruptcy
looming before them, and to have acted on a penny-
wise and pound-foolish principle." In "A Glance
at Rome in 1862" we have a description of the
Carnival, of the studios of the sculptors, and of the
Pope ; and " A Day with the Alligators" will please
those interested in natural history or sport.

Macmillan's Magazine.

In Harriet Martineau's article, " The Brewing of
the American Storm," the conduct of the principal
American statesmen of whom she had personal
knowledge is discussed; and she says, "If the civil
war is to be laid to the charge of any one man, that
man is assuredly Daniel Webster." The tales " Ra-
venshoe" and " Vincenzo" are in progress. An un-
published poem of Shelley's, written in the Bay of
Terici, is given ; and there is an appreciative notice
of William Barnes, the Dorsetshire poet. There is a
very useful paper, too, on "Management of the
Nursery ;" and in " Notes of a Tour through the

MADRAS.

The traffic receipts on this company's south-west
line for the months of March and April last
amounted to £20,225 on an average of 289 miles
open, against £15,789, on an average of 222 miles
open-for the same period last year, showing an in-
crease of 67 miles in the length, and £4,436 in the
receipts. Accounts have been received by the last
mail of the opening of this line for public tr ffic
throughout, from Madras to Beypoor, on the 14th
ult. Simultaneously with this event a revised tariff
approved by the Government, with a more remu-
nerative scale of fares for third-class passengers,
came into operation. Rapid progress was being
made with the works on the branch railway to
Bangalore, which'were now far advanced towards
completion. On the north-west line, to Caddapah
and Bellary, it was expected that a farther section
would soon be ready for opening.

THE FIRE AT ST. PETEESBURG.—It is:stated
from St. Petersburg that of the £1,000,000 property esti•
mated to have been destroyed by the recent fires only about
£220,000 was covered by iasurance. The question as to
the calamity having beets caused by incendiaries seems still
in some degree to be doubtful. One writer observes
"'Whether it was caused wilfully or accidentally I cannot
say. Several arrests have been made of officers. There
are always some few young madmen, but you may be
assured that the soldiers and the people are to a man with
the Emperor. The serf question has dissatisfied some pro-
prietors, and among these there may be grumbling and a
little more,' but as for ' insurrection' or general disturb-
ance that is impossible. The ' million' are for law and
order and the Emperor."

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The preparations for the
Handel Festival are now proceeding with great vigour.
The stands are nearly all placed, the refreshment counters
on each side of the orchestra have been removed, the niches
behind filled in with statuary and drapery, and additional
seats arc being erected in the galleries. The ticket-offices
at the Crystal Palace and Exeter Hall were crowded with
applicants fur tickets the whole of yesterday. The sale of
176, 6cl. rehearsal tickets will close to-morrow.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 17.—The speculative feeling
which has manifested itself in the Liverpool cotton-
market has reacted upon the yarn market here, to-
day, but has not made itself 'felt much upon the
cloth market. There is a growing feeling that the
war in America may be so protracted as to keep
back cotton and cause higher prices, but still this
feeling is slow to reach the buyers of cloth, who
act with much of the caution they have displayed
for months past. In yarns there has been a large
business to-day at an advance in prices, reaching
in many cases to id. per lb. Merchants in the
Calcutta, Bombay, German, Mediterranean, and
home trades have all been buying very freely. For
some classes of yarns the Germans admit they have
had much difficulty in executing the orders com-
mitted to their care. The aggregate business in
yarns is generally reported to be large. The excited
state of the Liverpool cotton market is naturally
causing manufacturers to ask higher prices, but it is
next to impossible to get this advance, and wherever
it is pressed it has the effect of at opping business.
Manufacturers who have been holding back their
stocks, and are in a position to take the rates of last
week, have less difficulty in finding buyers, and in
these cases business has been effected. Stocks having
been much reduced, however, by the activity which
displayed itself in the early part of last week, sel-
lers, as a rule, are disposed to hold for an advance
proportioned to the rise in cotton and yarns, and
in such instances there is little or nothing doing.
Manufacturers are generally pretty firm in demand-
ing the advance, and where it cannot be obtained
are mostly owing to the reduced stocks on hand,
rather indifferent about selling. Buyers for India
are probably holding back till further advices are
to hand. There was a rumour in the market of
some firm having received a telegram from Calcutta
in anticipation of the mail, stating that shirtings
had advanced six annas (9d.) per piece, but we could
not trace it to any authentic source, though, as a
considerable improvement was anticipated at last
dates, it is thought not improbable such news might
come to hand.
LEEDS, 17th.—The woollen cloth markets have
shown very little animation in either the coloured
or the white cloth hall to- day. The attendance of
buyers was comparatively small, and their opera-
tions were confined to purchases of small lots of
varied goods, rather than of anything bulky of any
particular manufacture. There is no change in the
general character of the trade, and prices remain
steady. Manufacturers in the neighbourhood, as
well as those in the wn; report themselves as
active as they have been at any period during the
nresent year. At the different local wool markets

ficently fine, and there could not have been less than
100,000 spectators present, but at about 3 o'clock
the rain began to descend, and continued at inver-
vals throughout the review. A spacious grand
stand 950 ft. •
in length by 22ft. in width, and capa-
ble of accoti,'Yoodating 5,000 persons, was erected in
front of the saluiing flag, and was well filled, the
prices of admission to the centre being 55., and to

at the east side of the review-ground, which was
crowded. Ample accommodation was provided
for foot spectators, and vehicles of every
description were on the down. Shoff by after 2
o'clock the troops were drawn up in the following
order :—Cavalry and artillery, extreme right of the
line ; Ist and 2d brigades of infantry, in line of
contiguous columns of battalions, at quarter dis-
tance, right in front, with six paces interval be-

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday a committee of the House of Lords
met, consisting of the Marquis of Bristol, chairman,
Viscount Sydney, Lord Stewart of Garlies, Lord
Silchester and LorliPmplemore, to whom are re-
ferred the bills of the Great Western Railway for
additional powers. East Glocestershire, Shrews-
bury and Hereford, Somerset Central, and Dorset
Central Railways. The bill of the Great Western
was opened and evidence taken.
Another committee, consisting of the Duke of
Richmond, chairman, Earl Amherst, Viscount de
Vesci, Viscount Lifford, and Lord Monteagle, met
to consider the bills of the Bala and Dolgelly,
Corwen and Bala, Vale of Clwyd, and Greenock
and Weymes. The ease for the first bill was opened.
In the Commons the case of the Oswestry lines was
opened in Lord Stanley's committee. The commit-
tees on the South Yorkshire, Hull Extensions, and
other bills, were occupied in taking evidence.

THE ACCIDENT AT THE FLEET DITCH.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

We are glad to say that in consequence of the
energetic measures taken to secure the enormous
culvert cf the Fleet Ditch, in Victoria-street, from
further breakage and the restoration of the damaged
property from further injury, all apprehension
either for one or the other, or the close lying rail-
way, has been removed. From a more close exami.
nation of the sewer way yesterday morning, it ap-
pears that the pressure of the water therein at the
time of the occurrence was one of the causes of the
accident, and that the removal of the earth along-
side of it, especially at this weak point, to the depth
of about 30 feet, also contributed to produce the re-
sult already before the public, though no defects in
the roadway had been noticed before the sinking of
the corner of the street and the rush of water into
the works and the cellars of the houses in Ray-street
and other contiguous low-lying localities. Con-
sidering the vast work being effected at this point
of the Metropolitan line, the damage done is but
trifling ; and yesterday morning the mischief done,
and the temporary delay caused by the occurrence,
were fully overcome, and an additional force of
bricklayers are busily engaged in building a
continuation of the massive battening walls
by the side of the broken portion, in order
to make them perfect as speedily as possible,
when there will scarcely be a possibility of a
similar occurrence. Several workmen are at work
making good the brickwork of the Fleet Ditch, and
about 50 or 60 others are employed in consolidating

the roadway between Ray-street and Vine-street,
the whole of that portion of Victoria-street being
closed to the public as a thoroughfve, to-enable the
navvies to proceed as fast as the circumstances of
the case will permit them to do.

ing demand for lands in Illinois,
desire on the part of purchasers to
rta_ila growing
mises and fulfil their contracts. Thei breadth of
land sown exceeded that of any previous
year. The
farmers held large stocks of
.last year's crop, and
many fields of corn were still standing for want of
labour. The surplus products already exceeded ten
times the amount required for home consumption.
The farmers of Illinois were still shut out from the
Southern market, and corn commanded but 15 cents
per bushel on the line. Cattle, pork, and other
products were equally low. The loss of gross earn-
ings as compared with the first five months of last
year was- 278,082 dollars. The working expenses
had, however, been less than in any preyions
year, _so that the net result for the flit) months
of the present year would show within 100,000
dollars the net result of the cofrespondilig period
of last year. The net traffic, with the re-
ceipts from the interest fund during - the last
year, for the first time afforded a sufficient sum to i
pay all the interest upon the debt, with that paid

to the holders of full shares, and left a surplus ; and
it was apparent that but for the business derange-
ments, arising from political troubles, those receipts
would have proved ample. The total debt of the
company at the present time amounted to 15,263,000
dols., and the total interest on it to 1,038,915 dols.
The cash in, hand and debt o wing from the Govern-
ment to the company would discharge the present
bills payable (198,700 dols). He then adverted to
the financial position of the company, and, with a
view to meet in full the interest and other preference
charges, suggested that the meeting should be ad-
journed to the 15th of October next, with a view to
resolutions,

GREAT ARCHEOLOGICAL GATHERING. The
Lincoln Diocesan Architectural Society will hold its usual
autumn meeting this year at Leicester. The gathering
will commence on Wednesday, Aug, 6. The Archaeological
Association of Great Britain, the Leicestershire Architec-
tural and Archaeological Society, and the Northampton-
shire Architectural Society will also unite their forces on
the occasion. An interesting feature of the prodeedings
will be an excursion to Bosworth Field, one of the most
famous scenes in English history.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—Scarcely a day
has passed this week without more or less rain, and con-
siderable apprehensions are beginning to be felt, especially
for the potato crop, if the weather should continue as wet as
it has been for some time past. The low state of tempera-
ture is also much dwelt upon as retarding the growth of the
crops. On the whole, the country looks well ; and if warm,
dry weather succeed the late rains, an abundant harvest
may yet be calculated Ai. Haymaking has partially com-
menced in this diP_:,ict. The crop, although not heavy, is
likely t 9 ttull 1.04 t v, fair %wage oAo,—Pown Beorder.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the .Regtstrar-Generar a Weekly Return.)

The weekly number of deaths in London has
shown no fluctuation in the last three weeks. In
the last week of May the number was 1,119; the
next return gave 1,114, and that for last week again
1,119. The mean temperature of the air, which had
been in the previous two weeks about 58 deg., fell
last week to 55 deg.
The rate of mortality was last week exactly the
same as the average for this period of the year ; for
the average number of deaths derived from the re-
turns of corresponding weeks in 1852-61, and cor-
rected for increase of population, was 1,119.
The births in last week exceeded the deaths in
the same period by 663.

Typhus was fatal in 82 cases, the corrected ave-
rage being 40. Of that number there were 39
returned as typhus, 16 as typhoid fever, 17 as fever,
the remainder under other designations. Fourteen
deaths by typhus were returned by the London
Fever Hospital. Five deaths from fever occurred
in the workhouse of Whitechapel.
Of 49 deaths caused by measles, 3 were returned
by he Registrar of Limehouse, 5 by the Registrar
of Mile-end Old Town, East.
Two infants died by murder or manslaughter. A
man, aged 49 years, died from glossitis after three
days' illness. . A woman, aged 55 years, from mer-
curial salivation. The oldest persons recorded as
having died in the week were two widows, aged
respectively 94 and 95 years, and a man, aged 94.
Last week the births of 900 boys and 822 girls,
in all 1,782 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61
the average number (corrected) was 1,769.

Sarah Bowles—The prisoner and complainant are my
sisters. I have for some time been living in the house of
the stout 'un (complainant), but she gave me warning a
short time ago to quit, and I went. A week or two ago
Wall lent me a pair of trousers, which I pawned, and spent
the money with her in gin. This morning I went to com-
plainant's house to give her the trousers, when she threat-
ened to give me in charge for stealing them. I told her it
was a lie, when she catches up a brown baking dish, which
she broke over my head—(laughter)—she also threw three
tea-cups at me. I bolted out, when she followed me, and
then we had another fight, when she struck me in the face.
Mr. Corrie—Then that was before the battle with the
prisoner.

Witness—Yes, sir, the policeman carne up and separated
us. She said me and my husband Were pot stealers and
pot melters.

- Prisoner—Yes, sir, and then I went up to Wall some
time after to ask her why she called Sarah a thief, she
made no more to do but pitched into me—(laughter)—and
we both had a fight, and went down together.

Complainant—Look, sir, where she's bit me, pointing to
a severe wound in her arm.

Prisoner—She's made it worse by putting salt upon it.
Mr. Corrie—l cannot pass over such a circumstance as
that.

MHE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN

LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst

Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at Ds., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,

AIV ENGLISH WELCOME TO FOREIGNEM.

A foreigner, in a letter to a contemporary, says:
—I shall feel very much obliged by your kindly
giving publicity to the following remarks, as they
are but too well founded in truth. I air. one of the
passengers that arrived last night from Hamburg
by the Berlin steamer, belonging to the General
Steam Navigation Company, and I have bitterly*
to complain of the manner in which I, for one, have
been treated on going ashore at St. Katharine's'
wharf. A pack of vagabonds in nobody's service
suddenly take possession of the steamer, and presto
their services in the most insolent manner. Yeti
find no regular porter in the company's service with
number to mark him, and are therefore compelloclf
after some hesitation and remonstrance, to give '4ll
your luggage to be taken from board the steamer'
You ask, " Have you got a cab for me ?" " 'reef
sir." You follow your man through the squalid
buildings where the Gravesend Customs ofb.cere
check the marks, and there you are. Arrived out-
side the building, you find yourself in a liarrovi
street, badly lighted ; no:,puliceman within eye'
sight ; a few cabs, but none for you. The rascal
puts down your luggage on the opposite pavement
at some distance from the cabs, and insolently de'
mands his remßneration. You decline, of course,
saying that he has not accomplished his part of the
duty he undertook, and request him to get yoll
cab. He will do no such thing. You try to take
your things under your protection, and to reach
one of the cabs which appears to be disengaged'
he uses violence, and claims his due. You screael
out for assistance against a robber; who is there t°
heed you?
Daring the contest and loud dispute
that ensues, a workman from the docks passes 119
who says that you are right and the fellow wrong'
He once more takes your trunk, &c., on his shout
der, and passes on towards Tower-hill. Arrived'
half-way between this latter place and the docket
he puts down your things in the streetz and there
you are. What will you do ? Half-past tea
o'clock at night, dark street, no police oftficel'
no cab, alone, a stranger ! Really, this is WI
bad. I did not finish my narrative. 11.

Translated from the German of Dr. PI6(FORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct.' =London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrlicea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—
