COMMERCIAL OPINIONS UPON THE

BUDGET.

THE TIMBER TRADE.

On Wednesday last a meeting of the inland tim-
ber merchants of Yorkshire was held at the White
Horse Hotel, Leeds—Mr. Richard Harrison, of
Leeds, in the chair—for the purpose of considering
the Chancellor of the Exchequ.r's proposition for
the reduction of the timber duties. There were
timber merchants present from York, Leeds, Brad-
ford, Huddersfield, Keighley, Sze.
Mr. ILLINGWORTII, of Leeds, proposed the first
resolution, which was as follows:

" That this meeting, while it approves the *posed re-
duction of duties on foreign timber and deals, as announced
in the Budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yet
deems it but an act of simple justice to the inland timber
merchants, who have, as usual at this period of the year,
just laid in large stocks for the spring trade, that a draw-
back should be allowed by Government on their duty-paid
timber and deals."

This was seconded by Mr. J. KAY, of Nusiders-
field, and carried unanimously.
The following resolution, propoted by Mr.
BROWN, of Leeds, and seconded by Mr. SINGLETON,
of Bradford, was carried in the like manner :
" That it is necessary to obtain an interview with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer at the earliest possible period,
in order to place before him the anomalous position of the
inland timber merchants, and the great loss to which they
will be subjected, should the proposed reduction be made,
regardless of their interests."

The following resolution was also carried unani-
mously, on the motion of Mr. WATKINSON, of York,
seconded by Mr. NIAUDE, of Leeds :

" That it is desirable there should be a meeting of the
inland timber merchants in London, and that invitations
theref.re be immediately sent to the merchants of other
inland towns to send representatives to meet at Findall's
Hotel, New Palace-yard, Westminster, on Saturday next,
the 18th inst., at 12 o'clock at noon, to determine on farther
proceedings."
Other resolutions for the purpose of carrying the
foregoing into effect were likewise agreed to unani-
mously, and the proceedings closed with the pase•
ing of a vote of thanks to the ehairman.

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

The Royal West India Mail Packet Parana,
Capt. Woolward, arrived at Southampton yester-
day with the West India and Pacific mails. She
brought 46 passengers, and her freight comprised
specie, 333,113 dols. value in silver and 133,283
dols. value in gold. Her Majesty's ships Racer
and Styx were at Port Royal ; the Gorgon was at
Grey town ; the Cossack at Carthagena ; and the
Arachne and Skipjack at Barbadoes. Her dates
are Greytown, Jan. 16 ; Colon, 23 ; Demerara, 25 ;
Jamaica, 26 ; Barbadoes, 27 ; St. Thomas, 31.
Nothing had occurred during the fortnight at
Demerara to afford the least interest to readers out
of the colony. The planters were all busy, either
commencing crop or preparing for the commence-
ment, but the weather had been unfavourablo from
the beginning of the year.
The exports for the fortnight were :—Sugar,
3,008 hhds., 131 trcs., 1,169 brls., 614 bags ; rum,
1,960 puns., 147 hhds., 85 brls. ; timber, 40,946
feet ; cocoanuts, 8,500.
In Jamaica the public health continue in a satis-
factory state.
The export of nitrate of soda from Iquique during
the year 1850 amounted to 1,574,199 quintals, against
1,220,646 in 1848. Of this quantity 447'887 was
shippE d to England, and 304,025 to France.
During the month of December, 24 vessels of
21,213 tons loaded guano at the Chincha Islands.
Of this quantity, 15,509 tons was for Europe, and
the balance for the United States.

From Chili there is no political news of interest.
The country was quiet, and the people appeared to
have settled down again to business. In the south,
the Indians still continued to give trouble, but in
their last encounters with the Chiiian troops had
been invariably defeated.
A destructive fire had broken out at Valparaiso,
the capital of the province of that name, which
swept away fifty houses. Most of the buildings
were of wood, and owned by German settlers. The
yearly budget had just been published ; it
amounted to 6,495,609 dols. 56e.

THAMES.

A THIEF DETECTO3I..—A rough and illiterate lad, who
gave the name of Joh* Murphy, but who has some times
assumed the names of Bryant and Godwin, was brought
before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a coat, value lie. 6d.,
from the shop of Mr. William Bryant, clothes salesman,
Waterloo-terrace, Commercial-road East.
Mr. Disbois, shopman to the prosecutor, said there was a
bell to which a piece of string was made fast in the shop,
and the other end of the string was attached to each coat
er garment outside the shop. He stood tinder the bell all
day long, and when it rang he knew there was a robbery
going on outside. He heard and saw the bell ring vio-
lently yesterday evening and knew that a coat was stolen.
He ran out of the shop into the street, and saw the prisoner
in the act of putting a pilot seat on his arm, and run..
ning away with it. He seized the prisoner and
took the coat away from him. It was worth 12s. 6d., and
the one produced was that which the prisoner had stolen.
The prisoner, in defence, said he stole the coat because
he wanted food. His father WAS in prison under a sentenee
of eight months' imprisonment. His mother was dead, and
ho had no one to care for him.

Mr. Selfe—You should go to the relieving officer of the
parish to which you belong. You cannot be permitted to go
about the streets plundering tradesmen.
The prisoner then called upon a strange-looking Irian
woman, named Biddy Leary, to speak for him. She got into
the witness box, looked strangely at him, and said he well
not the boy she cams to speak for.
The prisoner—Why you are my aunt.
Mrs. Leary—Am I, now
The prisoner—To be sure. You aro my father's sister.
Mrs. Leary—Then sure I am, and you are not the boy g
took you for.
Mr. Selfe asked the woman if she knew anything of the
boy, his habits and his mode of living to which ahe replied,
he lives somehow and somewhere.

Mr. Selfe—l suppose be does, whether he is your nephew'
or not, you don't seem to know much about him. He ip
sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Mrs. Leary no sooner heard the sentence than she la"
Vent to loud exclamations of grief, and said her poor dear
isrlint boy was lost for ever.

71:11S DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was very scantily supplied with Etll
lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. For 11101_
kinds there was a steady demand, at fully le per quartet
over the sates current last week, and at which a clearanc•
was easily effected.
There was a slightly improved demand for foreigo
wheat, the supply of which was good, but the high PO'
tensions of holders checked sales.
Floating cargoes were steady in price.
The few samples of barley on the stands found buyer..
and the quotations of Monday were freely supported.
Now malt was in fair request, bnt old parcels were rathil
cheaper.
The show of oats was limited. Most kinds were IA
demand, and prices had an upward tendency.
Both beans and peas were very firm, and lour
mended extreme rates.

33 40 S., long. 52 40 W., the Mersey stopped to
overhaul a brigantine, apparently American, which
had sunk, with all her sails set, in 17 fathoms
water. She must have gone down bodily, with all.
oa board, as she was resting on the bottom, and
had evidently been there a very short time. Her
topgallantydrd was an ash. No signs of either

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

;Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Williams,
Byles, and Keating.)

'WILTON V. THE ROYAL ATLANTIC MAIL STEAMSHIP CO.
Mr. Bovill, Q.C., on the part of the defendants, moved
for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this cause
should not be set aside or a nonsuit entered. The cause
was tried at assizes held in Surrey before the Lord
Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and a verdict was
returned for plaintiff; the damages were ordered to be
referred, and leave was given for the present application on
a point reserved. The action was brought by the plaintiff
against the Atlantic Royal Mail Steamship Company, to
recover the value of a quantity of luggage which had been
lost. The property in question was placed on board one of
the vessels belonging to the company, called the Arago, on
a voyage from New York to Galway, and while performing
that journey the ship, it was well known, was wrecked off
the coast of Newfoundland. The plaintiff alleged that the
ship was driven on the rock owing to the negligence
of the captain, and, under those circumstances, the com-
pany were liable for the loss of property occasioned
by the wreck. The company denied their liability, and
based their refusal to pay for the lost luggage on the pas-
senger ticket which was given to the plaintiff when he paid
his passage money (90 dols.) in New York. The ticket
expressly stated that in case of loss or detention by accidents
of navigation, or by the dangers of the sea, no liability of
any kind was to attach to the proprietors. It was one of the
points upon which his clients took their stand as non-liable
for the luggage; another was that there was no bill of lading
for the luggage in question, and it was known by all the
passengers that the company would not hold themselves
responsible for any unless there existed a properly signed
bill of lading therefor.
Rule granted.

T. PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the Brim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost. All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. t'ickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally fiagTant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
.but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

WAKEFIELD—Nov. 2.

The supplies of wheat were moderate, and trade was of
a retail character. Good old and fine dry new mot a mo-
derate demand at the rates of Friday last. Other kinds
almost unsaleable, although lower prices would be taken.
Choice parcels of barley found buyers at previews prices.
Beans and peas were each is dearer. Oats and shelling
were unchanged.

TEE SUN, LONDON,. S.

~, ~.~

Insolence, and arrangements were accordingly
made for the morrow. The gun boats were ordered
to shell the lower northern fort and engage its at-
tention, while the main attack was made on the
upper one. In both, tremendous:explosions soon
took place, " Beams of wood, earth, shells, splinters,
bodies, were hurl. °d into the air while the concussion
shook the earth fcr miles round."—still the brave
Tartars stood to their guns. About eight in the
morning, after thr.n honrs' firing, the Chinese
guns were pretty .well silenced, and the pon-
toon and ladder work began. It was warm
work, too. The ,defenders were hardly
less brave and determlned than the assailants ;
it cost half an hour's severe fighting under
the wall before the Allies 11.‘d fairly entered—and
even then the Chinese fought desperately under
their casemates ; and here it wa,4 that Ensign CHAP-
LIN, and a French soldier raced up the ramp, the
Ensign being knocked over by a I)ullet—getting up
again, and " winning by a head." A French
drummer was first into the place, though imme-
diately after Lieutenant RoGERS leaped in, in
another place. It was in this severe struggle, of
course, that our principal casualties occurred. The
gunboats suffered nothing.

And now the judgment of Sir HOPE GRANT was
completely vindicated. The southern forts lay at
our mercy, being enfiladed by the one we had taken,
while the back of the lower northern fort was open
to us. The consequence was that the Chinese
themselves were aware of it, and quickly surren-
dered, without further trouble, both the north and
south forts, with all that they contained. " Thus,
in a ten days' campaign, were the Peiho forts
taken, the disaster of last year avenged, and the
Chinese war of 1860 brought almost to a close."
We fear the conclusion may not be quite worthy
of the commencement—but that we must not discuss
till we have more certain information. It is all
well that the whole Province up to Tien-tsin
should capitulate, but we cannot like the
Ambassadors 'going to Pekin as the Eno
PEROR'S guests. They ought to have gone with
the aspect of conquerors, if they would save the
hazard of mandarin pride attempting fresh
insults whin they are gone. Sir WILLIAM
ARMSTRONG'S guns have been found now
to be the first artillery in the world,
the Emperor of CHINA should have had a
sight of them. The army has occupied the pro-
vince—weil. But much better had it occupied
Pekin, and thus read a final lesson to the whole
Empire.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S

" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced In 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost. All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—Nov. 2.

There was a fair attendance of country millers at this
morning's market, and we had a moderate consumptive de-
mand for wheat, which may be quoted at the extreme
rates of Tuesday, and in some cases ld per cental advance.
Flour was difficult to quit, and must be noted rather lower.
Oats and oatmeal unchanged. Beans sold readily at is per
qr dearer. For Indian corn there was a good demand, at
Gd over late rates.

THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

An interesting contest took place on the 25th ult.
between the St. Georges, Queen's Westminster,
and the Victoria Ride Corps, for a prize presented
by Mr. Turner, of New Bond-street, of a silver
statuette of the Queen in coronation robes, with
tiara set with diamonds, value 120 guineas.
The ranges being at 500, 600, and 700 yards, ten
men being selected from each corps, each man firing
five shots at these different ranges. The match
was decided in favour of the St. George's, who
made 90 points, beating the Queen's by 9 and the
Victoria by 13 points, the highest score at the 700
yards being made by the Westminster.
An incident occurred during the match showing
that the Volunteers are not dismayed by an obstacle
which requires some ingenuity and a good deal of
hand work to overcome. There are three butts at
Wormwood Scrubbs, and the St. George's butt for
that day was allotted to the Queen's, and from a
rising in the ground at 350 yards range it is neoes-
sary to elevate the marksman to enable him to com-
mand a view of the target, but it was found in
measuring the ground previously to the match,
that the mound had been erected six or eight yards
too far off; so to help their companions in arms out
of this dilemma, the gallant Westminsters, both
officers and men, set to work, and by the means of
some planks, &c., from an adjoining building,
erected a most excellent stage for their comrades
to fire from, and had only finished turfing the
same as the firing at 500 yards was completed.
