is active, and supply less plentiful. British root has been
selling at 101. to 111., powder 161. to 201., and Foreign

are unfavourable.

lon, and there were sellers of good ord at 45s 6d per cwt.
Plantation still wanted, and several parcels were sold pri-
vately at very full rates. At auction 300 bags Brazil were
taken in at 44s to 45s for broken.

home consumption, and several export orders have been
concluded, prices have farther advanced, and lower quali-

choice qualities 36 to 40 over at 5s 1)il to 6s 2J, and com-
mon to good 30 to 36 over 5s 5d to 5s 9d.

while, first quality, 15/ to 161, and red 161 to 16110x.—Let-
ters from Oporto contain bad accounts regarding the vine
disease. Throughout the Douro it is said to have mado
its appearance in a serious form, and already the shoots
that were effected last year have begun to furnish unques-
tionable evidence of its ravages.
SERDS.—A further reduction of canary, and purchases
are limited at 47s to 50s per quarter. In cloverseed less
has been done; there is no change in rates of fine, but a
small decline has taken place for inferior red yearling.

quality. Seal attracts greater attention, pale realises 411
to 431, coloured 371 to 401, and dark 351 to 361 10s. In cod
several transactions at 3./ lOs to 391 with a firm market.
Of southern there is yet none in first hands.

Tuc MILITIA.—The number of volunteers enrolled for
the militialn England and Wales amounted to 66,280
on the Ist of January last, exeusive of the permanent
staff. Tne number who attended training and exercise
in 1853 (including the permanent staff), was 51,561.
NorriNailAm TRADE.—There is, to q slight extent,
some improvement perceptible in the hosiery branches of
our trade, chiefly owing to purchases for the American
and Australian markets, both of which present a com-
forting aspect of revival, and are the sources now chiefly
to be looked to for encouragement. The home trade is
dull; and German business totally disjointed by the war.
The reiteration by the morning papers of the fact of
Prussia having sided with the Czar is, however, by the
best informed Germans, treated as resting on the vacil-
lating conduct of the King, who is nearly connected
with the Imperial Crown, and whose influence it is anti-
cipated will be overruled by that of the constitutional
party. There is very little lace business doing at all,
except in some of the fancy branches over which the
season, despite the March winds, seems decidedly to
exert the beneficial influence of fashion.—Notts Guardian.

(A svaansamizaj—A most interesting recovery from a vast com-
plication of diseases, without the aid of medicine, is recorded in the
following letter :

" Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854.

"Grateful for the benefit I have derived from- Du Barry's Reva.
lenta Arabica Food, I feel it my duty to express to you my unfeigned
thanks for the invariable kindness I have met with at your hands.
My case is an extra)rdlnary one, and as it may benefit ot:.er
suf-
ferers I think it but right to place its details at your disposal. I
have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting
of blood, liver derangements, deafness, singing in the ears. consti-
pation, debility, shortness of bcer.th and cough, and during that
period taken so mach medicine that I can safely say I have laid out
upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemist's and doctor's. I have
actually worn out two medical men during my ailments wi:hout find •
ing any improvement in my health. Indeed I was in utter despair
and never expected to get over it, when I was font:into enough to
become acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica, which, Heaven be
praised,tancesm.
