The Coin Trade in France.

The Customs' department has just published the
table of imports and exports for the second ten
days of May. Since Jan. 1, 1867, the total exports
of wheat have amounted to 91,389 quintals
(224 lbs. each), whilst the imports have been
1,481,488. In analysing these figures, we find that
France, in the 2d decade of May, imported
124,884 quintals of wheat and 30,792 of flour ;
whilst during the same period she only exported
19,837 and 343 respectively. The proportion
is not the same in rye, as the exportation is far
superior to the importation. Thus, France has
bought since January 1, 1867, 10,227 quintals of
rye in grain and 1,306 in flour, and has exported
260,810 and 29,687. These figures are important,
as they prove that rye contributes less and less to
the food of the French population. Farmers sell
their rye to the distillers of Belgium and Holland,
who distil from it the liquor called genievre (gin).
The time seems to be not far distant when the
French 'peasant will live upon wheat-flour
t-flour alto-
gether, and that of the best quality. The imports
in :maize are very inferior
cinita
riortnotisheof grainexports;
and
former being only 14,903
4,519 of flour; whereas the latter are
33 8,975, and 1,545. The exportation of
oats is almost null, but the importation
is considerable. The .Moniteur also publishes a
further table of the imports and exports of bread-
stuffs during the third decade of May. During the
last ten days of that month France purchased from
foreign countries 103,827 metrical quintals of wheat,
and exported 14,504 ; she imported 20,868 quintals
of flour and exported 5,583. The importation
of rye is insignificant (285 quintals of grain, 47
of flour), but the exports were 10,512 and 1352
respectively.

GUN VESSELS.—An. Admiralty return shows that
on April 1. there were 82 gun vessels and gunboats under
1,000 tons in commission, and 42 not in commission. Of
the 82 in commission, 30 are reported in indifferent or de-
fective condition ; 2 are unserviceable and very rotten ; 2
are only fit for harbour service; 2 have been frequently
under repair, and another requires considerable repair; 12
with moderato repairs may be kept effective until 1870; o 3
are in good condition or serviceable. Of the 42 not in
commission, 6 are rotten and not worth repair; 19 arc do-
' fective, 12 of them unserviceable ; 7 are tit for harbour For-
vice only, 3 are not complete, and 7 aro iu good and ser-
viceable condition.

and Lord Elcho for the Volunteers. ' The Ard,_ •
bishop of York, whose name was coupled with the
House of Lords, referred to the criticisms Which had
been recently passed on that assembly, a •which
, y, an in
he admitted there was considerable force. It was
certainly no nursery for young speakers. its f'..ii,i
civility being far more discotiraging than , - oos„ut 4-'.ty
: and clamour of the storinleat public meeting4_
Although, however, it vas at present doing lit tin
partly because but little was expected of it, Tim('
partly from 'faults in its constitution which might
be easily remedied, he hoped that these criticisais
would bring out latent talent, and that its place in
the estimation of the country would not be per-
manently affected. The Lord Mayor next proposed
" Lord Stanley and the House of Commons," re-
marking that, thanks to his Lordship's administra-
tion of foreign affairs, a terrible war had been pre-
vented,
and that England had never stood so well .
with foreign countries as now. Lord Stanley, who
was warmly cheered, remarked. that as • his ex.pe. ri-
once of the House of Commons (and heh.d had
been a member of it 19 years). increased, the
his estimation of it became—not merely for its
integrity and honesty of purpose, qualities not Go
rare in this country as to call for special com-
mendation, but for its judgment, sagacity, and
common sense. He knew no assembly in the
world where a man was more secure of a hearing for
his opinions, whether popular or unpopular, pro-
vided he had reasons for holding them, and there
was no body which Tiiekly
,op unerringly
discerned which or. Its- vifir4tkers Weli,` worth- hear-
ing and which were not. Like every such assem-
bly it contained four classes— members who had
something to say, and who could and would say it
well; those, a very numerous class, who had often -
a great deal that they might say, but who could not
or did not like to sly it pubficly, though they ren-
dered valuable service in forming and guiding •
opinion ; those who had nothing to say and 7.h0
said nothing ; and those who, having nothi:ng to
\ say, said it on manroccasions and at considerable
length. This fourth Class ,be was happy to think,
was very limited in point of numbers. Adverting
to the Reform Bill, Lord Stanley expressed a con-
fident hope that the moral and social characteristics
of the house would be little affected by the change,
for the traditions of centuries were not swept away
in a few months or years. The great majority of
its members would still have nothing to hope and
nothing to fear either from the Crown or the people,
and it was a great satisfaction to think that there bad
never been so complete a union of feelings
and interests as subsisted at the present
moment between the landed and the
mercantile and manufacturing classes. A
constitutional change was naturally attended
with some anxiety, but the house had played a great
and useful part in the history, not. only of England,
but of the world, and he believed that, come what
might, its power and influence were not likely to
be diminished. The toast of the evening, " The
health of the President and Members of the Royal
Academy," followed, in acknowledging which Sir
F. Grant adverted to the obligations of art to the
merchant princes of Venice and Antwerp, and last,
but not least, of the city of London. The Academy,
he added, had never been in a more flourishing po-
sition, and while it had long adopted the ballot _it
had recently passed a Reform Bill in some respects
more advanced than that now being discussed in
Parliament, female students now being admitted to
its school, and a prize in an important 'class being
carried off last year by a lady. The healths of the
Lord Mayoress, which were warmly received, and
those of M. Gallait and the representatives of science
and literature, were subsequently given, the prin-
cipal guests retiring shortly. before 11 o'clock.
