Chis.—An increased desire has been shown to ope-
rate in Olive Oil since Tuesday last, Whilst on the part
of merchants there is greater firmness, and they have
succeeded in getting stiffer rates, a good bcusiness having
been concluded. Cocoa Nut has been much inquired after,
and in consequence of the scanty supply, bt tyers are com-
pelled to pay the high rates of 52s to 62s IN tr cwt for low
to fine quality. For Palm the demand is brisker, whilst
prices are firm, Rapeseed Oil met with a gnod demand.
The inactivity in the market for Linseed Oil has
increased, and a further fall in the value ensued, as there
is a greater supply, and the crushers work freely.
The market for Fish Oils ptresented a brisker appear-
ance, and for most descriptions en advance in the value
took place.

There are more associations yet ; for instance there
is that association of worthy men and handsome
women which people call .Belgium._(Cheers.) May
not I be allowed to include that in the toast. My
fellow-traveller can tell you -with what recollections I,
a native of the Pays Bas oiP England (liolderness),
in coming from your seaport to your capital, looked
at these features of your oountry which are so like
those of my own. It is true our streams do not run
as fast as in the Alps • but for all that, we love that
country, and should be ready to defend it if required.
But we mean to have no chance of that. Is it not the
best way to join one another in these peaceful asso-
ciations, where we are destroying bit by bit the seeds
of war.—(Bien! Tres-Lien.) Let our hearts then be
set upon perpetual peace.
They talk about Utopia ; we will show them whe-
ther there is as much of Utopia in it as they think.
It is in meetings like these that we intend to lay the
grounds for a perpetual peace. But, gentlemen, are
there not some other associations still ? There are
associations which a man carries always in his heart,
and which distance only serves to make more vivid.
It shall be understood then, that we are to drink to
all we love, when I give you my toast A toutes les
associations.
M. Wolowski gave " The working Classes." M.
Rittingbausen, one of the amall number of aaiti-
free-traders who had presented themselves at the
Congress, gave the health of the president, IL De
Brouckere. M. Surginer, a Hollander, gave " 5.1 e
Little and the Great," and made an interesting
speech upon his text. Dr. Bowring gave "To the
fusion and holy alliance of the people of all nations."
Mr. Welcken, " The liberty of nations." M.
Bartels, a specimen of what may be called
Young Belgium, made an ardently liberal speech,
and concluded with the health of " Pope Pius the
Ninth," amid thunders of applause.
Colonel Thompson rose and said—As one the a is
sprung from the most Protestant of Protestant. s, I
cannot lose the opportunity of telling you with what
high hopes the English have viewed the noble deeds
of the new potentate of Italy. When we see Pius
the Ninth taking in hand all the interests of hum an
kind, we are all Pope's men together.—(Cheer, s.)
If our Government saw occasion, believe me, ever y-
body would march. We have a fine Scotch regime nt
that glories in the title of being the descendants. of
the Protestants who were persecuted in worse tin les.
Just see whether they will march or not, if they are
told. But it will never come to that. Everybody
has sense to a certain extent, and the despotic powers
like the rest. I therefore unite with M. Bartels: in
calling on everybody to join in a health to our ad-
mirable Pio Nono.—(Drunk with every possible d.e-

monstration of enthusiasm.)
Mr. Evart gave, " To Belgian hospitality," Mr.
Horace Say, " The health of Richard Cobden and
Frederick Bastiat," M. Jottrand, " The independence
of Belgium." The festival ended by the president's
giving " Sir Robert Peel," after which the party se-
parated.

In viram clarum solium potentilm

Loeta juventus!

eleven years at Clay-hill, and was under the care of the
unfortunate man Lewis Mugford, who was appointed for
that purpose. On Friday afternoon two female servants
and Mugford were at dinner in the kitchen, when Mr.
Davidson entered and took a knife away. lie was im-

FATAL ACCIDENT AT PERCY MAIN COLLIERY.--
On Friday afternoon, two men, named Thomas Dobin-
son and Walter Murray, descended the pump shaft of
Percy Main Colliery, near North Shields, for the purpose
of examining the pumping gear, which it used for the
purpose of drawing the water from the bottom of the
mine. This shaft forms part of the main shaft whence
the coals are drawn from the pit, and is partitioned off,

a string leads up the shaft to a bell, upon which the sig-

two mendes-
cended the shaft to the bottom, and, having completed
their work, gave the signal to pull
up. The men were
both in the loops formed in the chain, within which they
placed each one leg and clung to the main rope. The
horses went to their work and the rope ascended, when
suddenly something seemed to check it ; the horses put
forth their strength, and the rope came up without the
men. It was broken, and a frightful calamity had hap-
pened. Immediately steps were taken to ascertain the
late of the unfortunate mon, and they were afterwards
discovered hanging at some distance from the bottom,
still in the rope, which had got entangled with the scaf-
folding and the signal bell rope. They had fallen a
considerable height, and were both dead, having received
severe injuries from striking the scaffolding in their
descent. It is supposed that the shaft-rope had fouled
the bell-rope in the ascent, and this circumstance led to
the catastrophe. They were married men,and
has left eight children to mourn his loss.
