RATES OF FREIGHT AND CHARTER.

(From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.)

The tonnage loading on the berth for India, China, and
the Cape of Good Hope amounts to 58,820 tons, and for
Australia and New Zealand to 69,187 tons.
A large number of arrivals have taken place the last
few days from the southward. Freights to the Australian
and New Zealand ports are very low, so that there is a
full supply of tonnage offering for the Indian and China
ports. .

The transactions in coal eastward during the past week
has been small, and the rates paid chew little change from
those last quoted. For Madras £25 can be done, and £24
to £25 for Singapore. Rates homewards are dull, although
that for rice is, if anything, a trifle firmer.
%Vest Coast freights are much the same. 31s. per ton
has been paid for iron to Mollendo. Homewards, forward
tonnage may still be placed for Spain at 17 dols. to 18 dols.
guano.
United States and Canada iron chartering is pretty well
at a dead-lock. The orders for grain mentioned last week
are yet in the market at the same quotations.
For the Brazils slightly higher rates are quoted for coal,
but West Indian freights are lower. The orders for wood
homewards from Jamaica, &c., are still to be had. Vessels
have been fixed for Monte Video at 28s.
Mediterranean and Black Sea coal freights are still in
the ascendant, as much as £l6los. being offered for Malta
and £22 for Alexandria. Chartering for grain from the
Black Sea, Azoff, and Danube, is more active, and there
is good inquiry for vessels to load in September.

Mr. W. G. Romaine, C. 8., 'who has held the ap-
pointment of permanent Secretary to the Admiralty since the
retirement of Mr. Thomas Phinn, Q.C., having accepted a
post in India, the vacant appointment of Secretary to the
Admiralty will, it is stated, be bestcwod on Mr. Lushington,
and a new office created of Under Secretary to the Admi-
ralty, John 11. Briggs, who at
rally, which will be filled by
present is chief clerk at the Admiralty, Whitehall.
A voluminous Blue-book, containing papers rela-
tive to the complaints made against Mr. Grenville-Murray
as her Majesty's Consul-General at Odessa, and to his dis-
missal from her Majesty's service, has been published.
The correspono.ence extends over 10 yenrs, from Mr. Murray's
Appointment to a year after his dismissal. Ile was accused
by masters of different vessels trading to Odessa of levy-
ing heavy consular fees; of illegalitiea in connection
with the celebration of various marriages ; about a box
of documents derotited at the consulate and claimed by
Mr. Charlton, agent to Messrs. Furness and Co. ; and sundry
other matters which were more or less prominently before
the public at the time of thoir occurrence. Mr. Wilkins
was appointed to inquire into those charges, and the ro:ult
was Mr. Murrny's dismissal by Lord Stanley, on May 28,
1868. He continued to protest and write letters to both
Lord Stanley and Fail Clarendon, but each of them et length
declined to coutinno 019 vrnspoadeace.

to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attemion to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS.

We learn from the Hague that an international exhibi-
tion of a novel character is to be opened there on the let
of September. The exhibition is to include all the
appliances for the relief, succour, and removal of the
wounded on the field of battle. The Netherlands Central
Committee of the Association for the relief of the wounded
in time of war, has originated the undertaking, which is, it
seems, to be complete of its kind.

Among min(); International Exhibitions that of
Wittenberg has played a conspicuous part. The arrange-
ments have been on a far more extensive scale than those
at Leipsic, and the number of visitors has been propor-
tionately greater. There is one section set apart for the
exhibition of Berlin art which presents some great attrac-
tions. There is also a special show of the
Berlin Secicty of Architects, which illustrates the
form that German art is new taking. There have been
many more contributors to the Wittenberg Exhibition
than to that of Leipsic. The collections which most fully
represent the purpose of the promoters of the scheme are
steam, and windmills, and millstones.

TIIE CANADIANS AND THE CUSTO3I-EOUSE.
The Toronto Globe complains that Canadians Massing
through the United States, on their way to the Hudson
Bay Territoty, are subjected to vexatious Custom-house
charges. The Customs' authorities require a bond that
the property and effects of the emigrants are en route
to British poszessions. If they are not furnished with
such a bond, they have to pay 30 per cent. The New
York Times, in commenting on this matter, thinks that it
should receive the attention of the Customs authorities.
On the northern frontier stringent regulations are required
to prevent smuggling, but these should not be allowed to
become the occasion of fraud or superfluous vexation. The
New York Times thinks that the line of Custom-houses
which dot both sides of an extended frontier might be
dispensed with, and asks if a Zollverein is impracticable.

CATTLE DISEASE.

As the foot and mouth disease is rapidly extend-
ing, it seems worth while to give "An Essex
Farmer's" experience of the manlier in which the
disease is spread. lie keeps sixty cows distributed
at three different places for fattening calves. On the
11th he bought ten suckling calves, and divided
them amongst the three cow-houses. Nearly all his
cattle are now suffering. "An Essex Farmer "
thinks the London cow-sheds have received this
disease from abroad, and are now spreading the in-
fection throughout England.

An important era in the history of rowing has
commenced, and for the first time the Thames
Conservancy availed themselves of the power of a
recent Act of Parliament, and determined to put a
stop to the danger occasioned by the steamers that
usually accompany great races on the Thames, to
have a boat to carry the press, and another the
umpire. Others were prohibited from attending
the race, and this rule was strictly enforced by Mr.
Lord, the Conservancy Surveyor, aided by the
Thames Police.

Latest Edition.)

Dn. CUMMING AND THE GENERAL COUNCIL.

Sir George Bowyer endeavours to extinguish Fr.
Cumming. There can be no doubt that the inter-
preter of prophecy is invited to the Council. All
non-Catholic Christians are invited to it in a certain
sense. They may attend and gain information, and
discuss with the learned men who will be assembled
at Rome. They may pray for enlightenment, find
speedy conviction of their sins, and a quick return
to the true faith. But Dr; Cumming proposes to
preach anti-Popery sermons at the bar of the
Council. This, says Sir George, will never be tole-
rated. If Dr. Cumming had his say, why should not
.S'ouraeori take his turn, and on what principle

SPAIN.

A private telegram from Madrid states that a council
of war has condemned a Carlist priest to death. He
commanded a baud in the province of Leon, and was
taken prisoner with his arms in his hands. The Captain-
General has confirmed this sentence, but it is believed that
it will not be carried out immediately. The disputed
point about the prelates will most probably be left to the
decision of the Supreme Court of Justice.

THE TRADES UNIONS CONGRESS.

The representatives of the trades unions assembled
in congress at Birmingham were tolerably unanimous
on the subject of trades mums legislation. Mr.
Shorrocks, of Manchester, read a paper on Wednes-
day, in which he condemned the constitution of the
Royal Commission. Only one nomination was
allowed on behalf of the workmen, and
the nominee was not one of their own
class. It is needless to add that, after com-
plaining
of the inadequate representation ofworking men on the commission, Mr. Shorrocks
condemned the report. But the conclusions drawn
up by Mr. Thomas Hughes and Mr. F. Harrison
were, the essayist thought, the result of thorough
investigation. Unionists wanted no special legisla-
tion. The combination laws ought to be repealed,
and the funds of trade societies ought to be pro-
tected. Beyond this the Legislature should not go. No
attempt ought to be made to separate the benefit
funds from the trade funds. As to violence of
any kind, the law already provided ample
remedies. These deductions met with the
entire approbation of the Congress, and a
resolution, embodying them all, was passed. No
opposition was offered. Mr. George Potter did
indeed prepare another resolution, but it was only
less precise than the one adopted.

TRANSFERRING ASSURANCE COMPANIES.
Amongst the many questions touching assurance
companies raised by the stoppage of the Albert
01lice, none is more important than that of trans-
ferring one . company to another without consulting
the policy-holders. More than one sufferer complain
that, having invested in an office with every appear-
ance of security, their money has been lost because
the respectable men in whom they placed confidence
threw up their trust, and transferred the interests of
the policy-holders to the Albert Company. Even
the Times City editor relaxes his hostility to legis-
lative interference, and declares that this practice
ought to be prevented. Policy-holders have much the
same legal rights as depositors in a bank,. whose
directors certainly could not make away with their
funds without incurring the risk of punishmenti

C LEEKS.

Sir John Lubbock has developed a plan for "ex-
tending the system pursued by the Civil Service
Commissioners to candidates for appointments as
commercial clerks." In other words, clerks are
to be subjected to the, ordeal of examination as
well as civil servants: The clerl,s themselves do not
receive this proposition with unmixed pleasure.
They point out that if a clerk be examined like a
civil servant, he ought to get a life appointment like
a civil servant, and not a post which may be with-
drawn from him at any time. Still mere urgent is
the cry for better pay.befora examination.

THE ISTHMUS OP CORINTH.

Scarcely has the Suez Canal been brought in view of a
successful termination when a fresh project is discussed
by the enterprising engineers of the Continent. The now
scheme is very much leas formidable, but it is not without
its importance to travellers. It is proposed to cut through
the Isthmus of Corinth, which is only three miles and
a half broad. By this means the journey from
Marseilles to Constantinople would be shortened by at
least fourteen hours, and the journey from Trieste to
the same city by twenty. The- idea is not a new
one, having, it is said, been started in -the days
of Nero. Within the last eight years 31. ,Lygboaserlalt
Cretan gentleman, proposed to undertake the work, but
the Hellenic Government refused to sanction it. M.
Lyglionnes has since been engaged as director of the
works on the embankments of the Nile, and the success
of the Suez scheme has convinced all concerned of the
feasibility of the Corinth Canal. M. Lesseps, it is said,
will undertake it.

TILE MEMBERS FOR PLYMOUTH.

The Attorney-General and Mr. Morrison, MP.,
have rendered an account of the past session to
their constituents. Sir Robert Collier holds that
household suffrage is a great success. The leap in
the dark did, it is true, unseat the rider, but the
horse alighted safely on terra firma. The present
House of Commons, the Attorney-General thinks, is
the best that has sat during the present generation.
It does not use one language at the hustings,
and another in Parliament. It is business-like, too,
" singularly patient of argument, and singularly im-
patient of declamation and rubbish :" a high eulo-
gium, which may be true, but many outsiders who
have read the debates of the late session will be apt
to think that there is yet room for improve-
ment. Reviewing the work of the session, Sir
Robert Collier acknowledged the services rendered by
Me. Norwood in the difficult task of " boiling down"
the Bankruptcy Bill, so that instead of containing
52.0 Claus: s, as did the measure of last session, it
numbers only 130. Mr. Morrison expressed his
satisfaction at the passing of the Irish Church Act.
Many of the Liberal members thought that the
Irish Church got too much; but if they had stood
upon their objections the bill would never have
become law. Both the members for Plymouth
pledged themselves in favour of the Ballot; and
Mr. Morrison thought that the Constitution would
not work much longer without a modification of the
House of Lords :

" No person would desire to drive from public life such
intellects as that of the Duke of Argyll or Lord Salisbury,
but I am of opinion that it would be a great benefit if wo
could in some manner secure the services of the working
bees of the House of Lords without being troubled at the
same time with the presence of the drones. Having got
rid of the drones, I should not mind how soon the right
rev. bench took to its wings also."
