THE TIMBER TRADE.

The various circulars just issued by the houses en-
gaged in the timber trade represent it to have been one
of unexampled prosperity during the past year. A
greatly increased amount of business was transacted,
and, prices having risen considerably, large profits were
realised. This improvement, it is satisfactory to find,
did not arise in consequence of speculation, but from a
bond fide increase in the consumption of wood, and con-
sequently the business transacted was of a legitimate
character. The causes which led to this increase may be
confined to two—the extraordinary activity displayed
in the various private dockyards in England and in
the Clyde, and to the great demand for wood suit-
able for building purposes ; but in all departments
of the timber, or, more correctly speaking, the wood
trade, the greatest activity prevailed throughout the
past year. The trade between England and Sweden
has undergone some important changes. By the
reduction of the import duty a large quantity
of cheap wood has been received and eagerly
bought up, which led a great number of minor
ports in both Sweden and Finland to send cargoes
to this country. From Sweden, 985,000 pieces of
deal had been imported, against 547,000 in 1851 ;
and 86,000 battens, against 44,000 in 1851. From
Finland the increase had not been quite so exten-
sive-355,000 pieces of deals, and 186,000 battens,
against. 239,000 of the former, and 140,000 of the
latter, in 1851, had been imported. With Norway
the trade was also active, though not to so great an ex-
tent as with Sweden and Finland. As regards Russia,
Prussia, and the Baltic, there had been a falling off in
the imports. The Canadian trade was active, and the
imports of pine wood had been double those of the two

at 4/. 10s. From Nova Scotia and New Brunswick the
trade in birch timber has greatly improved, and the im-
ports were considerably in excess of those of 1851.

NEWSPAPERS TO AUSTRALIA.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1853.

The Oxford University Election is exciting the
bile of some of our contemporaries. It has un-
fortunately occurred—and we regret it ourselves,
for, notwithstanding his manifold crotchets, we
should always wish to see a man of Mr. GLAD-
BTONE'S unquestionable ability and experience with
a seat in Parliament—that the Right Honourable
Gentleman has been left in a minority on the
third day's poll, and some doubts begin to be
entertained as to the final result of the contest.
'We cannot, however, conceive why it is that
those who, in the conscientious exercise of
the franchise, may deem it expedient to
bestow their suffrage on a new and by no
means undistinguished candidate, should be sub-
jected to gross abuse, and reviled in the language
of Billingsgate, because they do not consider
themselves bound hand and foot to the chariot of
Mr. GLADSTONE. The Right Honourable Gentle-
man is no doubt a very respectable and a very
talented person ; he is one whose exclusion from
the House of Commons might be regarded almost
in the light of a national calamity—but still we
cannot understand why the educated and in-
telligent electors of the Universty of Oxford
should not be permitted to exercise that free
will which is the privilege of the humblest 10/.
householder or 40s. freeholder. They did so be-
fore, on a memorable occasion, when the late Sir
ROBERT PzEL---a statesman not inferior in char-
acter or ability to the present Chancellor of the
Exchequer—was rejected on account of his tardy
recognition of the. rights of our Roman Catholic bre-
thren. That striking exercise of power was never
questioned. It was frequently referred to in the
olden time, as a salutary precedent, and we know
not why Mr. GLADSTONE should form an excep-
tion to the rule that makes public men amenable to
the Opinions of their constituents. If the chosen
of Convocation, on one occasion, were to be con-
81dered as " in for life," then, indeed, would each
snccessive election be little better than " a mock-
ery and a delusion." We have always protested
against intimidation
when exercised by priest or
andlord, and we are not inclined to recognise it
from any other quarter We are eatl
taken if the spasmodic gr y
effortmis-
do not prove
injurious to the cause •
it was intended
to promote. England has
been designated
" a pzess-ridden country ;" but we
cannot believe

BELGIUM.

The Emancipation of Brussels states that M.
Antony Thouret, who has not availed himself of
the authorisation granted to him to return to
France, has taken up his residence at Ostend, after
having sojourned for some time in the Belgian
capital. _ _

Some French and English capitalists have just
purchased the extensive coal mines of St. Eloi and
St. Aldegonde, in the Hainaut (Belgium). These
mines, the coals from which are the best suited for
the manufactory of coke, are situated on the very
frontier of France, on the road from Maubeuze to
Marremont. When the Erquelines railway, which
is now in course of execution, and which will pass
through this rich coal district, shall be completed,
the manufacturers in the Nord will find a consi-
derable saving in their expenses for fuel. The
working of the coal mines of St. Eloi will consider-
ably increase the capital of the purchasers of them.

The declaration of the poll by the sheriff took place
yesterday :

Admiral Berkeley
Mr. Hope

Majority for Admiral Berkeley... 91
Neither party had anticipated that the result would
have been se great a triumph for the Government•candi-
date. Admiral Berkeley, in an address delivered to his
party from the King's Head hotel, on Wednesday night,
said he had never been more fearful of the result of any
election than of the one just terminated. He added
that the triumph was the more gratifying to him, thaB-
- as it had been produced by the united and un-
biassed and unbought efforts of his friends and of the
independent constituency. He denied that there had
been any bribery or treating on his part, but hinted at
the presence in Gloucester of a "Flewker" and a
"Frail" from Derby. He attributed his large ma-
jority over Mr. Hope to two causes—the assistance ren-
dered him by Mr. Price, his co-representative, and that
gentleman's friends, and to the non-appearance in Glou-
cester of Mr. Hope.

The supply of beasts in t9-day's market being very
lirp'ted, the demand for that description of stock ruled
steady, and, in some instances, the primest breeds ad-
vanced 2d. per 81bs. The very best Scots were worth
4s. 2d. per 81bs. Sheep, the number of which was on the
decrease, moved off steadily, at prices fully equal to those
obtained on Monday. Although the supply of calves was
seasonably large, the veal trade was somewhat active, and
most qualities were 2d. per 81bs. higher than on Friday
last. The top figure was 4s. 6d. per 81bs. There was an
improved safe for pigs, at full currencies. Milch cows
were a slow sale, at from 142. 10s. to 101. 10s. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

CARLOW.

It is thought that Mr. Sadleir-will have a very close
contest in Carlow. At the last election lie was returned
by a majority of only 17 ; and the constituency has been
reduced by the late registration to nearly that amount,
most of the votes which were struck off being those of
the liberal party. The tories are working might and
main to oust him from the seat, but he is still sure of a
small majority—it may be of half-a-dozen, or even less.

THE MODERN EL DORADO.—The Lmpire, Sydney
nowspayer, of the 18th of September, received by the
Phoenician, gives an elaborate summary of the operations
in the New South Wales gold fields from the respective
periods of their discovery down to that date. Notwith-
standing the report of Mr. Hargraves, about a year back,
of the great extent and probable richness of the various
deposits, the population then employed in gold-mining
has rapidly diminished, owing to the over-mastering at-
tractions in the adjoining colony of Victoria. At the
present time the total number engaged at all points is
supposed to be under 8,000. Of these, it is estimated
the largest proportion are at work on the mines north of
Sydney, namely, Ophir, the Turon, the Tambaroura, the
Meeroo, the Hanging-rock in the neighbourhood of Peel
River, and Bingara on the Gwydir. At Ophir, Which
persons,
includes the Wentworth diggings, the number is sup-
fromosed to be 200 or 300, their average earnings being
10s. to 60s. per day. At Turon, which includes

STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT THE VICEREGAL LOiDGsEde
.
Captain Winter, accompanied, by several, other ade
camp of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, aypea-red-
yesterday at Capel-street office, and tendered informa-
tions against the Rev. Henry Stannard under the fol-
lowing strange circumstances 4 informed
the Winter
the
preceding bench that between eleven and twelve o'clock on
preceding night, while the Lord Lieutenant and the
Countess of St. Germans were sitting in one of the
apartments of the Viceregal Lodge, a gentleman, to
their great surprise, walked into the room from an ad-
joining chamber, and sat down upon a chair without the
least ceremony in the world. His Excellency perceiving
him to be a stranger, inquired the object of his visit, to
Which he replied very coolly that he had effected an en-
trance by
the front door, and wished for an interview
with his Excellency. It soon became evident, how-
ever, that the intruder was a person of unsound mind,
though not what is termed a dangerous lunatic,
411 d accordingly an aide-de-camp was called in, and
he was handed over to the custody of the police.
On further inquiry, it appeared that the 'name of the
Person who acted in this strange manner is the Rev.
Renry Stannard, and he is a clergyman of the Estab-
lbibed Church. It is supposed that he resides in Clon-
taxi, having sent a message to his wife in that locality.
After being taken into custody, he was brought to the
police station at Bridewell-lane, where be was locked up
all night, and in the morning about 8 o'clock he man-
aged to effect his escape from the station house. Cap-
tain Winter stated that his Excellency did not wish any
harsh proceedings to be adopted towards the unfortu-
nate gentleman. He merely desired that measures should
be taken to prevent the repetition of a similar intrusion
I.n future. What makes this occurrence still more strange
is that the rev. gentleman contrived to enter the Vice-
regal-lodge unnoticed by any of the domestics of the
establishment, and without attracting the observations
of the sentinels and police constables who are constantly
_n its immediate vicinity. .A. warrant has been issued
for his apprehension.

SHERIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before R. Gurney, Esq.)
MOORE V. BEARD.
HARD SWEARING.—The plaintiff in this action is a
tailor, and defendant is a journeyman machinist, and
the sum claimed was 1/. 10s., for goods sold. The case
was partly heard yesterday, when Mr. Bean, the agent,
swore positively that the defendant admitted the debt to
be due, and promised payment. Defendant swore that
he never made any such admission or promise to pay.
His Honour thereupon directed the attendance of the
plaintiff in person, and he was now examined, fully
corroborating the evidence of the witness.
The defendant volunteered a statement, which his
Honour said was so much at variance with his evidence
yesterday that it could not be relied on, and should order
payment within seven days.
Plaintiff's solicitor applied for extra costs for the ad-
journment.

His Honour said he could not allow them, as the ad-
lournment had been at the request of the plaintiff's

solicitor.
The solicitor said the object was to show that the wit-
ness left the court without a stigma.
Judgment for plaintiff.

The show of English wheat in to-day's market, coastwise
and by land carriage, was very limited. The attendance
of buyers being tolrably good, the demand for all kinds
ruled steady at an advance in the prices of Monday of fully
is per quarter, and a clearance was rapidly effected. The
imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 26,000 quarters,
yet the sale for that article was firm, and the quotations
had an upward tendency. Floating cargoes were rather
higher.

CONTRACT STEAM CONTANIES.

.4:7^
The following statement has recently been prepared,
showing the annual amount of subsidies paid to the
various contract steam companies, and the returns to
the Government in the shope of postage receipts, the
annual balance against the country being no less than
.342,790/. This result affords of itself a striking illustra-
tion of the consequences of State interferences in one of
the most important branches of private enterprise.
When, however, it is recollected, in addition, that the
expenditure of the sum in question has been a means of
Checking all that improvement in steam navigation
which is to be attained only by unrestricted compe-
tition, that it has caused a rankling sense of injus-
tice to be felt by those colonies which have been neg-
lected, while others have been favoured, that it has
led the United States avowedly to adopt a retalia-
tory course, and has thus caused between the two
Governments a rivalry as irritating as it would have
been healthy if left to the energies of individuals ;
and, finally, that it has placed for years past in the hands
of the Treasury and the Admiralty an almost irrespon-
sible power of dispensing nearly a million of money to
such companies as might be able to establish the neces-
sary influence, a full idea will be gained of the nature of
the system. Happily, the present Ministry are under-
stood to have recognised in a great degree the evils that
. have thus arisen ; but, although they have shown a dis-
position to check them, or to bring them within more
moderate limits for the future, the broad doctrine that
the means of commercial communication throughout the
world should be left to develope themselves, that special
bounties upon one route can only operate unfairly upon
others, and that the sole function of the Government is
to see that shipowners who undertake to carry letters
strictly fulfil the obligations they assume, is yet neither
acted upon nor acknowledged :
