MARKETS—This Day.
MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrival of English
wheat was very moderate, but the bulk of the supply was
received in good saleable condition. For both red and
white qualities there was a fair, but by no means active,
inquiry, and Monday's currency was steadily supported.
With foreign wheat the market was but moderately
supplied. Holders and importers were firm in their de-
mands, but failed in realizing any advance in prices, com-
pared with Monday. The amount of business transacted
was but moderate.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request,
and prices ruled firm.

There was a moderate supply of barley on sale. Grind-
ing qualities were in demand at very full prices; otherwise
the barley trade was quiet at late rates.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at full cur-
rencies.

The supply of oats on sale was moderate. For all qua-
lities there was a good demand, and the late advance in
prices was well supported.
_ _ . .

_
Both for beans and peas—the supplies of which on offer
were small—the trade was firm, at fully the late improve-
ment in their value.
Most descriptions of flour were in steady request, and
prices ruled firm.

RHYMNEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the Gray's-inn Coffee-house ; Mr. Boyle in the
chair.

Mr. Shand, the secretary, read the report, which stated
that the amount expended on capital account during the
half-year was £10,890. The increase in the traffic of the
line over the corresponding period of last year amounted to
£1,607. The first portion of the Aber branch had been let
to a respectable contractor, and the works would be pressed
forward, so that it was probable they would be completed
within six months. The capital account showed that
£518,466 had been expended. The revenue account showed
that £28,897 had been received and £14,714 expended,
leaving a balance, with £270 from last account, of £14,185.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that the inoreaso in the amount of traffic, though small,
was very satisfactory, when it was remembered that the Bar-
goed Valley line had not been opened, and that the company
had been disappointed in the increase of traffic which was
expected from that source. The directors intended to go on
with the two lines sanctioned during last session—namely,
with the northern lines, which would give the company
communication with the Merthyr, Tredegar, and Aberga-
veuny section of the London and North-Western Railway
Company and the Cardiff and Caerphilly, which would give
the company independent access to Cardiff without passing
over the Taff Vale Railway.
The report was adopted, and a divident at the rate of 3
per cent. per annum was declared on the ordinary stock of
the company for the past half-year.
The retiring directors, Mr. C. T. Simpson and Mr. T.
Lakin, were re-elected, and also the retiring auditor, Mr.
T. Watkins.

The meeting was then made special, and a provisional
agreement was sanctioned between the company and the
trustees of the Marqois of Bute, dated the 21st of December,
1864, providing forrunning powers over portions of the line,
and for other matters, in the event of the Bute Docks,
Cardiff, Bill becoming law.

A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-

ceedings.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orpha'i daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of exoense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Toe Committee earnestly APPEAL, for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the inoreasi g applications through the
recent storms and loss f life at sea, and to enable them
even ually to obtain premises more commensurat- w th the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000

who may perish by war.

While the exports of fish from Great Britain were
£878,000 in 1860, those from Ireland were under
£3,000, while we imported £BO,OOO of herrings.
If the Fishery Commissioners would give returns
similar to those made in the colonies, we could form
some opinion as to the value and position of the
trade, but we are quite in the dark. It is to be hoped
that the fish curing of Norway, Denmark, the United
States, France, and our colonies will be represented
at our National Exhihition. There is a mine of
wealth in the sea. Our people do not require fixity
of tenure or a landlord and tenant bill to catch
them, but only industry. The merchants, shore-
keepers, and farmers have money enough if they
would only imitate the Cornishmen and Scotch.
Returns might be annually made to Parliament of
the quantities of the various kinds of fish cured, as
well as the value of those saved fresh.—Sliyo Inde-
pendent.

PARTNERSHIP LAW AMENDMENT.

Mr. DIXON (Birmingham) moved the following
resolution :
" That this meeting is of opinion.that it would be ad-
visable to alter the partnership laws, so far as to declare
that receiving a share of profits, instead of or in addition
to a fixed rate of interest, for money lent to a private trad-
ing concern, shall not make the lender a partner."
He said the resolution simply declared that it was
inexpedient that the law should allow a lender to
obtain a fixed rate of interest on a loan without
becoming a partner, and yet that he should not be
allowed to obtain a variable rate of interest. That
was the whole of the difference which he proposed
to effect by a change in the law.
•

Mr. WELLS (Bristol) seconded the motion.
Colonel AKROYD (Halifax) ,-opposed the resolu-
tion, and said, as he understood it, it was to save
men who received a share of the profits from in-
curring all responsibility. He saw grave objections
to that. Men who were engaged in trade should be
responsible to their creditors, and not be sheltered
under such a scheme as the one now proposed.
A long discussion ensued, in the course of which
the law of limited and unlimited liability was fully
argued.

Mr. LIPTON at length moved, by way of amend-
ment, that the words, " In the case of money lent
would be liable for the debts of the firm for twelve
months after its withdrawal, and the loan must be
registered."
Mr. BEHRENS seconded the amendment, which
was carried, 20 being for and two against it, six
remaining neutral.
The original motion as amended was then carried
without a division.

Mr. DIXON then moved,—
" That this meeting is of opinion that it would be ad•

OFFICERS OF THE ASSOCIATION.

Mr. S. S. Lloyd was then reappointed chairman
of the association for the ensuing year, and the
other officers were re-elected.

'The following resolution was then moved and
carried, the numbers being 19 for and 11 against
it :

" That a petition from this association be presented to
the House of Commons, praying for the abolition of all
extra charges on goods removed inland under bond, and
that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer." _ .

The CHAIRMAN said as there was not a majority
of four-fifths the committee could not take action
upon the resolution.
The following resolutions were also adopted by
the meeting :
" That a petition be presented to the House of Commons,
signed by the chairman on behalf of the association, pray-
ing that the duty on fire insurances be changed to a uniform
rate not exceeding is. per cent. per annum, to be imposed
on all insurances against fire, without exception."
"That a memorial from the association be presented to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, praying that arrangements
be made to enable Government stock to be transferred and
dividends to be received at all branches of the Bank of Eng-
land, in the same manner and on the same terms as is now
done at the Bank of Ireland in Dublin."

"'That the criminal law is defective in a class of cases of
not unfrequent occurrence, where models which are often of
great value in the manufacture of articles possessing beauty
of design are taken away surreptitiously and fraudulently,
not with the intention on the part of the taker of convert-
ing them to his own use, but merely for the purpose of
having them copied and then restored to the owner. That
the case of ' The Queen v. Hibberd and another,' tried at
the Leeds Assizes in August last, is an instance of such a
case, in which a total failure of justice occurred. That a
memorial be presented to the Secretary of State for the
Home Department praying that the law may be amended
in this particular."
The meeting then adjourned.

AQUATICS.

TOM KING (THE EX-CHAMPION) AGAINST J. CArris.—
The whole of the money to be rowed for by these two
candidates for aquatic honours has been staked, and the
match is fixed for the 28th inst. As more than ordinary
interest now attaches to the rowing of Tom King, who has
already won the first two of his three matches, the Childe
Harold steamer has been chartered to accompany the match
from Putney to Mortlake. It will leave Greenwich at 1
o'clock, London-bridge at 2, and call at all the piers up to
Putney. J. Caffm is in training under Robert Bain, one
of the most experienced rowers of Lambeth, and King is
also "getting his hand in for the struggle.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

,„ Only a moderate supply of old and new English wheat
was received fresh up to our market to-day. Generally
speaking, the trade ruled quiet, yet very little change took
place in prices. Good and fine old produce was decidedly
firm in value. Fine new white was quoted at 50s. and
fine new red at 465. per quarter.
About an average supply of foreign wheat was on the
stands. Monday's currency as regards all descriptions was
supported, and a moderate—chiefly consumptive—business
was transacted.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, and
prices ruled firm.

Barley was in very moderate supply, and the trade ruled
firm, at extreme rates.
Malt fully supported late rates.
Owing to the large foreign arrival, 96,490 quarters, the
oat trade was dull. Prices declined 6d. per quarter.

Beans and peas were in short supply, and both articles
changed bands at fully late rates. _ _ _

Flour was in fair demand, and prices ruled firm.
