TT IS IMPOSSIBLE to describe, within the
limits of an advertisement, the bare outline of what
THE MAN IN THE MOON

. _
Contains for JULY. But, when It is stated that Mr. Crindle gets
into more scrapes than ever—that a trip in the Nassau Balloon is
profusely illustrated, and graphically described—that the Duke's
Statue on the anniversary sf Waterloo; Jenny Lind and Grisi as the
rival Normas ; the Elections ; Buffo Lyrics ; the Summer Casinos ;
Lord Morpeth ; Lays of Mornings After ; Ascot as it was with Gentle-
men, and is with Gents ; Vauxhall Sketches ; Chat ; Domestic
Dramas ; Opera Excitements—and, in fact, every topic of the day
is alluded to—a month of the " Times" condensed into a small
lozenge—the price of SIXPENCE, at which it is published, is almost
too contemptible to be alluded to.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JUNE 29. —The favourable
change in the weather, the marked decline in the price
of grain, and the advance in the Liverpool cotton market,
have all tended to improve the demand here ; and, to-
day, there has been an extensive inquiry for yarn and
goods. Spinners and manufacturers, however, have
raised their demands to an extent which has materially
limited the amount of business. What has been done has
been generally at an advance, on yarn, of about id. per
lb., and on goods of about lid. to 3d. per piece, with the
exception of fabrics required for the East India trade,
for which, at present, there is little inquiry.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JUNE 28.—There have been
rather more buyers in the market to-day, or rather, those
who usually purchase largely have been present. There
is little change in the demand for goods from the two or
three preceding weeks, as on account of wool rather giving
way the merchants want the pieces for less money. The
wool-staplers complain much of the limited demand for
the raw material.

HALIFAX, JUNE 26.—This is a holiday time, being
Halifax fair ; and the attendance in the hall to-day was
but slack. There is no noticeable change either in goods
or yarn ; and in wool there is, if anything, more doing
in short, at rather easier rates. The low woollen trade
of this neighbourhood is reviving, and prices have
improved, there being a fair demand for the America*
market.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JUNE 29.—We have
again had an improved market: fine goods of new pat-
terns are in request, and low goods have found pur-
chasers for next winter's trade. Considerable business
has been done amongst the woolstaplers.
LEEDS, TUESDAY, JUNE 29.—We had an improving
market last Saturday; and there has been also more
doing to-day, both at our cloth halls and at the ware-
houses. Light tweeds and fancy cloakings are in good
demand, as well as the lower descriptions of cloth.—

MONEY MAIMET.--The premium on gold at Paris
is 14 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
1014 d, per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.50 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.55, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the
price of gold is 432 per mark, which, at the English Mint
price of 31. 17s. 101/2d. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13.81 ; and the exchange at Hamburg!' on
London .at short being 13.9*, it follows that gold is 0.35
per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course
of exchange at New York on London is 106* per cent.,
and the par of exchange between England and America
being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is
3.33 Der cent. against England. But the quoted exchange
at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest
must be deducted from the above difference.

NOBLE CONDUCT.—The Adventurers in Wheal Ruby
Mine have ordered their workmen to be supplied with
best bag flour, to the amount of 251. per week, at a dis.
count of 25 per cent. on the cost price. The adventurers
have also agreed to take payment for the flour at such
times as the earnings of their work people will permit.—

Weald, Middlesex, stating that he had discovered the
iweans of making instantaneous communication by means

Ender these circumstances the petitioner deprecated the

THE ROMAN-DUTCH LAW.

The Zuid- Afrikaan, of the 19th of April, publishes
reports of proceedings instituted against Lieutenant-
Colonel Lindsay, for flogging the boy Smith, a youth
who refused to obey some direction given by the
Lieutenant-Colonel, and prefaced the reports, which
we also subjoin, with the following remarks :—The
session of the Circuit Court at Graham's Town, held
on the sth instant, has been exceedingly important.
The criminal calendar was unusually heavy, and con-
tained a variety of offences, but the interest of a par-
ticular case appears to have surpassed that of all the
rest. The unfortunate Albany youth, Smith, so
shamefully ill-treated duringthe first act of the Kafir
war, by order of Lieutenant-Colonel Lindsay, had—
assisted by the sympathy of the community—insti-
tuted an action at his own instance, criminal as well
as civil, in order by that process to obtain that re-
dress to which, as a British subject, he had such an
indubitable right. The result of those actions is set
forth in the subjoined report, and we regret to say,
that it is all but calculated to allay the public anxiety
on the subject. The public—that is, in this instance.

dual has been compelled to secure the protection of
the law at his own instance and expense.
It is not our intention at present to enter into
any detailed discussion of the refusal on the part
of the public prosecutor to afford redress to the
injured party in the usual course of law. He is
not bound, we believe, to give any explanation
on that head ; nor is it, we presume, of any im-
portance, to be made acquainted with it just
now. The public have nobly taken the case into i
their own hands, and we are satisfied that nothing s
or can be calculated to divert them from this honour-
able task. They have the greatest interest in the
decision of the matter, involving a guarantee against
such wanton abuse of power, as is said to have been
committed in the case at issue. It is a known fact
that the most respectable classes of our burghers
have been in the field during the present war, and as
no one is able to penetrate the dark veil of futurity,
. and to give an assurance that such service will never
, again be required, it is naturally of importance that

OF ASHBURTON.

" Gentlemen,—Your present Member Mr. Matheson,
pressed by a strong and earnest appeal from the friends
of the Liberal cause in Ross-shire, has been induced to
offer himself as a candidate for the representation of
that county, at the approaching election.
" Actuated by a desire to promote and uphold those
political principles which have ever been avowed by the
electors of Ashburton, I venture to offer myself to your
notice, to fill that vacancy which the retirement of my
brother will create. Whilst on the principal question of
public policy my opinions accord with those of her Ma-
jesty's present advisers, I deem it the paramount duty of
a representative of the people to bring to the considera-
tion of every subject the exercise of an independent
mind and uubiassed judgment.
`I shall have much pleasure in more filly declaring
my political opinions, and should they receive your !auc-
tion, I will take the earliest opportunity of soliciting
your suffrages.

GROUP VI:

SALISBURY AND YEOVIL—EXETER, YEO-
VIL, AND DORCHESTER—AND BLAND-
FORD AND BRITTON.
The Committee met at the usual hour.

Mr.Cocx BURN proceeded to reply on behalf of the whole
of above-named schemes. The Learned Counsel, in intro
ducing his address, stated that he felt great pleasure in
congratulating the Committee upon the speedy termina-
tion, upon this, the fiftieth day of the, inquiry, of the
protracted proceedings which had taken place with re-
spect to those Bills. The arguments were arranged
under three distinct heads, and were enforced with the
Learned Counsel's usual clearness, ability, and elo-
quence. Under the first head he proceeded to comment
upon the evidence which had been adduced, in order to
show the absolute necessity which existed for railway
accommodation in and through the district between Sa-
lisbury and Exeter. The claims of the South-Western
Railway to supply this district, on the grounds of its
superiority over, and the competition which it would
afford, with the existing or proposed extensions of the
Great Western Railway, were then most forcibly brought
before the Committee. The attention of the Committee
was next drawn to the consideration of the question
whether any of the collateral questions which had been
raised by the competing companies in the course of the
inquiry were such as to induce the Committee to with-
hold its sanction to that scheme which, under the second
head, he had endeavoured to prove was the most
entitled to obtain that sanction ; and, relying
upon the weight of evidence which had been
already adduced, the patience, the judgment, and the
impartiality of the Committee, he had not the least mis-
giving as to the result of its decision.
The Learned Counsel had not concluded his address
when the Committee rose.
