SACCHINI

Must have led a very domesticated existence, and we
must suppose that he entertained an especial affection
for his wife and certain friends of the feline race, for of
them it is said he was so fond that he found it actually
an impossibility to compose unless the " partner of his
bosom" was in close proximity to him, and his favourite
gattine froleking about him.

A project is in contemplation, we
.understand, of
bringing Glasgow into direct steam communication with
the United States of Americo. A contemporary men•
lions that the keel of the first vessel of this line has just
been laid down by the Messrs. Denny, Brothers, of
Dumbarton. The vessel to be of iron, arid about 1,000
tons burthen. She is to be on the screw principle, and
to be fully ship-rigged. The screw will be propelled by
the Messrs. Caird, of Greenock. This new steam ship
-
is intended to ply directly from the Broomielaw.—Glas-
gozo Post.
THE SEVERN.—A great stimulus is likely to be
given to the trade of the Severn and the city of Wor-
cester by the application of a new kind of vessel
for trading on the Severn and the coast. The
principle of the invention is to adopt sliding keels in-
stead of fixed ones, so that the vesst ls will draw much
less water, and consequently the freight may be in-
creased from seventy tons to nearly double chat weight
as the average class of traders.---Aris's ,Birmingham

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LEEDS, FEB. 6. We are well supplied with wheat ;• the
market is fir n at Friday's rates. Barley does not vary from
last week. Beans steady. Oats and other articles without
material alteration. Average prices of grain: wheat, 3,110
qrs, 46s Id ; barley, 1,543 qrs, 293 Id ; oats, 86 qrs, 183 4d ;
beans, 125 qrs, 30s 8i ; peas, 2.) qrs, 445.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FEB. 3. At our market this
morning we had a large show of wheat from the growers, and
the condition being generally poor, no advance on last week's
prices was obtainable ; but foreign, on the contrary, was in
improved request, and realised an enhancement of is per qr.
For flour we, experienced a heavy demand. Rye unaltered.
Choice malting barley commands a fair steady sale, and lot
Chevalier, weighing 531/2lb per bushel, 32s per quarter wa.
obtained. Fireign qualities, on the other hand, meet little
attention. Malt dull, though no cheaper. Beans and peas
without change. Oats ruled dull, choice qualities sustained
previous quotations.

WISBELI, FEB. 3.—We continue to he fairly supplied with
grain of all kinds. Our growers have been holding back the
las: two or ihree weeks in anticipation of higher prices, and
to-day they tried hard to effect an advance, which they accom-
plished, of Is to 2s per quarter on the best dry wheat, and is
on other sorts; but the advance was generally, and very wisely,
resi-ted by the trade. Other grain as before.
GEOUCESTER.-Our market for wheat was more animated
on Saturday than it has been for several weeks past. English
samples were sought after, and eagerly purchased at former
rates; in a few instances good foreign samples sold at an im-
provement of is per qu.:rter. The sale of barley and oats was
dull, at barely last week's rates. Beans are difficult to dispose
of, and the turn in favour of buyers.
WORCESTER.—We had a short supply cf wheat from the
farmers on Saturday. and it met with a free sale at an advance
of Is to 2s per quarter. Barley unaltered, with a trifling
demand.

DUBLIN, FEB. 6.—There was a very lively market in both
native wheat and oats, at an advance of 6d to is on the former,
and 3d on the latter. Foreign wheat, though in fair demand,
obtained no sensible advance. Indian corn dull, but held at
full prices.

BELFAST, FEB. s.—We had on Friday an advance of 6d to
9d on wheat, and 2d to 3d on oatmeal ; since then the supplies
have been small, and yet fully the half of the advance then
noted has been lost. There is, however, more firmness in the
market generally than for a length of time past, and in store
lots there is more doing. Wheat, 8s 6d to lOs 4d; barley, 5s

THE WILTS AND DORSET BANKING COMPAI4I.*
—The thirteenth annual general meeting of the share'
holders of this company was held at Salisbury, on
Monday last, Alex. Lucas, Esq., in the chair. The
attendance was unusually large. From the report tt
appeared that the business and profits of the
company had increased during the past year ;
latter amounted to 8,1651. Bs. Bd., out of which a dividend
at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum had been paid to
the proprietors. The report then alluded to losses s$
two of the brunches of the company—at Christchurch,
by the frauds of their late manager, and at Ckir,
penharn, by robbery— and proceeded to state that
these losses had been met from the reserved fund. The,
directors had thought it prudent to reduce the dividend
for the last half-year to 5 per cent. per annum, but the/
confidently hoped that this reduction would pro's
only temporary. The report concluded by informing
the shareholders that the oank had taken the business
of the old and respectable private banking-house of Tice
and Company, of Christchurch. The usual routine
business was then transacted, and confidence in the late
oirectors testified by their re-election. A vote of thanks
to the general manager and officers of the company, for
their efficient services, was accorded 'unanimously; and
thanks having been voted to the chair the meeting
separated.

HELP ONE ANOTHER.—It was said that when the
Emperor Augustus was passing through the baths at
Hume on one (ccasion, he saw a veteran who had fought
with him rubbing himself, after bathing, against on*, °`e
the columns. '1 he emperor inquired why he had not *
boy to do this? And being told that he was too poor*
ordered him the means of paying one. On his next visit
he saw at every column an old man rubbing himself;
and on making the same inquiry he received the ssela
reply. His r 4 joinder, however, was not what they ex*
peered; for he said, " Well, gentlemen, as there are 0„
many of you, I should advise you to rub one another.
Augustus here taught them [sound wisdom; be taught
them not to depend on the caprice of a patron, but t°
help one another.—Builder.
