OUR GUNPOWDER.

The Turkish Government is now a competitor in our
markets for a supply of gunpowder. We understand
that a contract will shortly be entered into with some
leading manufacturers for the delivery iu Constantinople
of at least ten thousand barrels of the strongest and most
costly article that can be produced.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Senor Sagasta is Spanish Minister of Finance as well
as of the Interior.
The Wurtemburg Minister of the Interior has ordered
electioneering lists to be opened for the election of
members to the German Reichstag.

The Bavarian Chamber of Deputies has adopted the
bill relative to the extraordinary military credit by 146
votes against 4—Herrn Giehrl, Kalb, Pfahlen, and
Ruland voting against the measure.
A Times telegram from Berlin says the siege of Langres
has been raised, the Brigade Goltz being wanted at Vesoul
to reinforce Werder, who is menaced by Bourbaki and
Garibaldi.

La France, indulging in a satirical retrospect, says that
the Empire of Germany is the fifth which the century has
seen inaugurated or renewed. What have been their results?
Iturbide was shot at Tamaulipas. Soulouque died a refugee
in Guiana. Maximilian was shot at Queretaro. Nam;
icon 111. is a prisoner at Wilhelmshohe. Where will
William end ?

The Prussian Official Journal has published a note which
makes a formal recognition that the Belgian Government'
is not responsible for the hostile attitude assumed by some
Belgian journals against Germany, and is no more to be
held accountable than are other Governments in those
countries_ where the liberty of the Press is secured.
M. Dupanloup, the eminent Bishop of Orleans, is vir-
tually under arrest in that city. Two sentinels are sta-
tioned at his door, and no one is allowed to enter the
house or to leave it without permission. It is rumoured
that the Bishop's friendship with the Bavarians enabled
him to give early information of their retreat fromk
eouliniers to the French. His comparison of the German:.
forces to the hordes ',of Attila has not improved hiq
position with the Prussians.

THE DANGERS OF THE FROST.—There is a reverse
side to every picture, and a bright frosty Christmas bringd
with it privations and dangers' as well as feasting and the
inexhaustible amusement of the,ice. Among the dangers;
and associated in not a few cases with the feasting, is ail
enormous number of accidents caused by the slippery cont
dition of the streets. We have. been favoured with returns
from nearly all the metropolitan hospitals, which enable us
to give the following account of the more severe accidenti
which had been admitted into the wands up to the con-i 4
mencement of the present week :—London Hospital, 108;
St. Thomas's, 29 ; St. Bartholomew's, 25 ; Westminster
14 ; University College, 11; Charing-cross, 10 ; Middle*,
sex, 8 ; King's College, 5 ; Great Northern, 1, making a
total of 211. In comparing these figures it should be
borne in mind that considerable difference of opinion
exists at the various hospisals as to the degree in severity
which entitles an accident to admission. The following,
is an analysis of 57 cases of which we have received
particulars :—Fractures of the tibia and fibula, 26.;
fractures of the tibia, 2 ; fractures of the fibula, 3 ; frac-
tures of the radius and ulna, 6 ; fractures of the clavicle, 3i.
fractures of the humerus, 2 ; fractured rib, 1; fractures
the femur, 6; dislocation of the femur, 1; fractures of thb -
patella, 3 ; cerebral concussion, 1 ; spinal concussion, 1;
and strangulation of previously existing hernim, 2, °cent-
ring in people who had sustained falls. The nnmbet 4f
laccidents treated as out patients is, on an average, sev:tl
times as great as those admitted.—Lancet.

ADDRESS.

THE excessive and constantly increasing prices
charged by retail tradesmen for almost every article of
consumption have attracted universal notice and consequent
complaint. _
_.

The causes leading to this result, so disastrous to the house-
keeper, whether of affluent or of moderate means, have been
frequently pointed out, without provoking any adequate remedy.
The many profits which are charged upon every article by each
of the numerous persons through whose hands it passes before
ultimately reaching the consumer ; but, above all, an extrava-
gant and reckless system of credit, the losses consequent upon
which have to be counterbalanced by a system whereby those
who pay are made to bear the burthen of those who do not, are
amongst the reasons why housekeeping is now found to exceed
all reasonable limits.
In certain branches this has been sought to be remedied, and
with marked success. Co-operative stores have been established,
and the result has been that the articles in which they deal
have been supplied equal to, and in many instances exceeding,
the quality of those ordinarily furnished, but at prices in
marked contrast, and offering the most considerable advantage
to the consumer.
This movement has, however, been limited to the supply of
certain goods, and to sections only of the community. This
Association has been promoted by gentlemen who are desirous
to remedy, as far as it is practicable, the existing vicious state
of affairs by procuring, in the most direct manner from the pro-
ducers, all kinds of provisions, and disposing of them at the
smallest possible margin of profit for ready money, and thus
avoiding all the manifold causes which tend to place articles of
ordinary food at almost prohibitive prices.

THE ASSOCIATION offers to its Customers the
following advantages :-
1. 1-11 entirely dispenses with the ruinous system
1. which adds so considerably to the cost of all kinds of
provisions, whereby the good are made to pay for the debts of
the bad.

2. ALL goods are obtained direct from the pro-
ducer, and all intermediate profits at present in vogue,
and which have, of course, to be paid ultimately by the Con-
sumer, being avoided, a considerable saving is effected, and the
benefit of which is derived by the public.

3. PE Shareholders of this Association requiring
only a reasonable and moderate return, all articlei are
sold at the actual cost price of production—Plus, a very small
margin of profit.
4. THE fact that this Association is a public
Company, incorporated under the provisions of the
Companies' Acts, and having an adequate subscribed capital,
offers a sound guarantee for the character and quality of its
goods.

THE BENEFITS of this
RE ASSOCIATION are
OPEN to the ENTI.

NO ENTRANCE FEE
HA or
RGED other SUBSCRIPTION

THE COMPANY, having determined to carry
on their operations with a view to the utmost economy
and efficiency, have, under the direotion of their architect,
erected entirely NEW STORES, Cellars, and Warehouses, both
at Oxford-street and at Albert-gate, the premises in each case
being expressly designed to secure the convenience of pur-
chasers, combined with the judicious arrangement of the
following Departments :

GROCERIES.-
department will be found most complete in every
NJI

respect,

xi°REIGN PRODUCE.-
The prices charged by Italian warehousemen for all kinds
of foreign produce are too much matter of notoriety to require
comment. Articles which should be in daily use in every house-
hold have therefore been regarded as matters of luxury. It is
the aim of this Association to supply goods in this department
at prices which cannot fail to bring them into more general
requisition.

WINE AND SPIRIT DEPARTMENT.-
The greatest care has been devoted to the selection of
goods in this department, and only such as are of pure and
excellent quality have been admitted.
The enormous profits realised by retail wine merchants enable
this Company to supply Wines of fine quality at the prices
usually demanded for inferior wine.

PROVISIONS.--
The Association supplies Hams (large and small) of the
finest flavour and quality, Butter and Cheese in all varieties,
English and foreign ; Eggs, .Viltshire and Strasburg Bacon, and
every description of preserved provisions and comestibles.

FISH and POULTRY MART.
A Fish and Poultry Mart will be shortly opened. These
necessary articles cf daily food will, so soon as the necessary
arrangements are complete, be supplied by this Association at
rates which must necessarily vary according to season and
circumstances ; but it may fairly be predicted that the prices
charged will be considerably below those the public is in the
habit of having exacted.

DEP OTS. —The following DEPOTS are NOW
OPEN :
CENTRAL STORE--343, Oxford-street, W.
DISTRICT BRANCH—Belgravia : Albert-gate, S.W.
FISH and POULTRY MART will be shortly opened.
Arrangements are in progress for the establishment of
branches in several of the London districts. The directors will
be prepared to consider any requisition that may be presented
to them by a sufficient number of the inhabitants of any district
desiring to participate in the benefits of the Association by
having a Store opened in their neighbourhood.

INSTRUCTIONS.—All goods must be paid for
before they can be despatched .
In the case of goods to be sent home, the order should in all
cases be given to a clerk, at the counting-house, who will enter
the same in the order book, and see to its execution.
For the convenience of customers, forms of orders will be
supplied gratis ; and it will much facilitate business if customers
will fill up the same, either at their own home or at the depot,
and hand the same to the clerk. Where it is desired to take
away the goods at the time of purchaseb a written order is
unnecessary. In that case, application should be made to one
of the countermen. Orders may be sent by post, either for
town or country, but must, in every case, be accompanied by a
cheque or post-office order.
Cheques sent by post should be crossed and made payable to
the Co-operative Supply Association (Limited), and Post-office
orders made payable at the Regent-street Branch, to GEORGE
DRITITT.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS.-
For the convenience of !the publics, the Association
receives DEPOSITS of sums of not less than £2, for goods to be
delivered to order.
Special printed forms of order are furnished, which depositors
have only to fill up and send by post, or otherwise ; and, upon
the receipt thereof, the order is forthwith executed, and the
amount debited to their deposit account.
This system is specially recommended to those resident in the
country, as its adoption renders a remittance each time an
order is sent unnecessary.
Orders may be given in advance extending over any length of
time, and the goods ordered will be sent, either daily or in any
other manner that may be directed.
Customers who keep deposit accounts are particularly
requested to write their orders on the forms furnished for
that purpose.

FREE DELIVERY OF GOODS.-
All goods will be delivered daily in the London districts
by the vans of the Association, without charge. Goods ordered
for the country will be delivered free to any railway station in
. .

the London district.
