FRENCH TRADE.

The Customs' Department has just published the
returns of French foreign commerce during the last
five months of the year. The tables, up to the 30th
April, showed a diminution of 173 millions in the
exports, and an increase of 117 in the"imports,
as compared with the corresponding period of
1866. The following month was not favourable
to French manufactures and commerce, the total
of the imports for the five Months ending the
31st of May amounting to 1,303 millions. Of that
sum the imports of breadstuffs and other articles of
food, necessitated by the insufficiency of tlia
harvest, aro down for 253 millions, being TS
more than in the preceding year. With respect
to the imports of raw material, there is no room
for congratulation, when they are compare4pvith
the amount of manufactured goods entered ram
foreign countries. But it is in the table of ex-
ports that the sufferings and embarrassments of
French manufacturers arc must apparent, as their
amount declined during tha period of 1867 now
under examination by 198 millions, of which
116 in articles the direct produce of the soil, and
the remainder-82 millions—in the productions of
various branches of tnanufactured goods. Silk tissues
fell off 40 millionz; those of wool, upwards of 11 ;
the five months being 1,303
made-up goods, 6 ; fashionable articles, between 3
and 4 ; cotton fabrics, 4 ; and metal works, 3. The

CRUELTY TO A HORSE. —Henry Lem son, a carman, aged
28, of No. 3, Wright's-buildings, Salmon-lane, Limehouse,
was charged at the instance of Mr. Love, chief officer of
the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Ani-
mals with working a horse in an unfit state. Matthew
Johns, a police-constable, No. 217 K, saw the prisoner
driving the horse in a cart. Tho animal was in a state of
great suffering, and in very poor condition, with broken
knees in front of the fetlock joint, cut, and a leather boot
on the inside of the near hind hoof. There was a wound
under the leather in a very bad state. The horse belonged
to a Mr. Parsons, contractor, of Gun-lane, Limehouse. The
prisoner said he was not aware the poor horse was in such
a bad state when he took it out to work. His master was
very ill and could not leave his room. The prisoner was
liberated on his own recognisance till Wednesday, and a
summons against his master ordered.
SCANDALOUS TYRANNY TO A WORKMAN.—A poor man
renewed an application to Mr. Partridge which he had
made to Jgr. Paget on Friday evening, when a warrant was
pro forma granted, but there was not time to make out the
necessary process. The applicant is a sailmaker. A few
weeks since the men in the workshop where he was em-
ployed were on strike. He refused to join the combina-
tion, and was driven out of the shop. He had not been
employed since. One man, named Edward Baldwin, had
been very spiteful, and threatened hint in the club-room of
the benefit society when ho was paying his contributions
to the funds, and said he would be the death of him.
Baldwin also threatened to servo him out whenever he had
an opportunity, pushed him against the counter of a pub-
lic-house, and pushed his glass of ale over.
Mr. Partridge said he would grant a warrant for the
apprehension of the offender Baldwin.

NIGHT POACHING.

Sir R. PALMER asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether his attention had been directed
to the case of two young men, named H. Fulford and M.
Wellstead, who were convicted of night poaching in
March last by a bench of Wiltshire magistrates, upon the
evidence of a single witness, contradicted by other testi-
mony and who have since been exonerated by the confessions
of two other men, who have acknowledged themselves to be
the persons really guilty of the offence. And whether it
was true that the sentences of imprisonment pronounced
upon them have neverthelss been carried into effect, and
that one of them (Mark Wellstead) was still in gaol.
Mr. HARDY said he had made certain inquiries into the
matter, and had directed the committing magistrates to
furnish a report of the case. No report had yet boon re-
ceived, although he had that afternoon seen a letter front
one of the magistrates, but as ha had not yet received
one from the other, he thought it best to refrain from en-
tering into the matter until he had' received the reply of
both magistrates. Fnlfurd, who had served his time, had
been liberated, but Wellstead was still in gaol.

In the London market for American securities there has
been a fair amount of business transacted during the past
week, especially in United States Government Bonds.
5.20's of the 1862 issue have been freely dealt in at prices
ranging from 721 to 72k, the quotation of td-day, 721 to
Icing the:lowest of the week, owing to an advance in the
premium on gold in New York. The 1865 isaue of 5.20 Bonds,
a precisely similar security to the bonds of 1862, are
again quite 1 per cent. cheaper, and advantage is being
taken of this to a considerable extent to exchange the old
for the later issue.
In neither Illinois Central nor Erie shares is there anY

THE FENIAN PRISONERS.
Lord DENMAN, in moving the adjournment of the
house, said he would take that opportunity of expressing his
sincere hope that leniency would be shown to the condemned
prisoners in Ireland. The late attempt at outbreak there
—he alluded to the ono subsequent to the present—had
presented more dangerous features than the last, and yet
the offenders' lives had been spared. He trusted their
lordships would bear with him while he dwelt upon some
portions of a pamphlet showing what severe measures had
been extended to the unfortunate inhabitants of that coun-
try formerly. His lordship then read some extracts
showing the stringent regulations which had been passed
against the Irish; such, for instance, as their not being
allowed to speak anything but English. He understood
that there was a deputation waiting upon the noble earl
at the head of the Government in favour of a reprieve
that day.
Earl DERBY, who was nearly inaudible, was under-
stood to say that such a deputation had waited vpon him,
and that the question should receive the best attoAtion of

the Government.
The House then adjourned till Monday next.

EPSOM RACES, FRIDAY.
THE OAKS.

The weather mitigated somewhat of its rigour to-day ;
that is to say, it was not quite so cold, but still cold enough
to make summer finery look forlorn and pitiable under the
leaden sky, which few gleams of sunshine enlivened. The
Hill was bare in comparison with former years, and the
general attendance showed a decided falling off. This, of
course, is not surprising ; and if we wonder at anything it
is that, comparatively small as was the assemblage, it was
not smaller. It takes a groat deal, however, as is often re-
marked, to make English men and women forego their
holiday; so, despite the bitter wind and threatening
clouds, there were still the usual adjuncts of the scene,
though curtailed in their proportions.
The Oaks had been so settled and agreed upon by every
ono as a foregone conclusion for Achievement that all
speculation on it was checked, and the field dwindled
down to the smallest on record. Ten wore nominated on
the card, and of these eight only came to the post; and
with the exception of Hippia and Bumblekito nothing was
fancied. _ _

The visitors to the paddock had only the opportunity
of studying the field, as, with questionable taste, Achieve-
ment never came in till her race was over. Sho has, how-
ever, not improved since last year, having " furnished"
very little, and is a high stilty filly, looking, despite her
fine forehand and other grand points, anything but adapted
to the rise and fall of the Derby course. Of those mostly
fancied within the enclosure Sir Joseph Hawley's filly
took immensely, being a low, compact, muscular mare,
with wonderful limbs, and wearing legs coming well under
her. Still she did not go as well as she had promised, nor
prove so thoroughly when stripped, as when one had only
the chance of seeing those 'couderful old Weathorbit limbs.
Minster 801 l was as pretty and racing-like ,a,s anything,
but deficient of hone .and weak in her back; while Romp-
ing Girl, a big-grown, loose-made, coarse mare, would
seem to have been appropriately named, as she was sadly
blemished. Bumblekite was also no beauty, being a low,
angular, ragged animal, with good limbs, but with her
tail in full play. Sour do Charite is a small, wiry filly,
with a " waspy" waist ; and Bounceaway another neat or
almost weedy one. The Baron's filly was on the upper
side, and not seen by many until saddled; but she was by
far the best-looking of the lot, having "furnished" and
thickened a good deal since last season, and being, if not
exactly handsome, a very useful, compact mare. She has
rather a plain head with a small eye, a short strong neck,
and well-laid shoulders. She is vary deep and round
about the heart, has a capital short back, and good loins,
with big, powerful quarters, but falling away towards the
hocks, which are small, and high from the ground. Being,
moreover, not very fine drawn, nothing pleased the eye
snore, and good judges put her down as tho .only hope of
the forlorn.

Achievement was saddled at the Warren, and, a$ she

The following, bills were read a second time :—The

Lord DERBY stated that the plans for the improve-
ment in the Houses of Parliament had been placed in the
library, at.d they would be open to the inspection of any
noble lord who might wish to view them ; or, at the sug-
gestion of a noble lord, they could be lithographed.
THE KNIGHTSBRIDGE BARRACKS.
Lord REDESDALE remonstrated against the removal
of these barracks ; be considered that they were very use-
fnlly and appropriately situated. •
MEETINGS IN T fIE PUBLIC PARKS.
Lord REDESDALE said that he would ask the noble
earl at the head of the Government whether a bill- was
about to be introduced into Parliament for the proper
regulation and adjustment of the question as to the right
of holding meetings in the public parks. It would bo a
great benefit to those who like himself resided in their
neighbourhood. He should, with their lordships' leave,
introduce a bill to that effect.
'Lord DERBY—Considered that there ought to be no
particular law on the subject. That the regulation of
the bye-laws of the parks ought to be left to the Govern-
ment.
After a slight discussion, the bill was read a first time.

LOWESTOFT, Friday.

During a strong breeze yesterday afternoon
(reports Captain Preston, R.N.), a brig was ob-
served to take the ground on the bar of the Stan-
ford ;Channel. The Lowestoft and Pa,kefield life-

thereupon launched, and proceeded to the spot.
The first named boat took four men off the taffrail

remaining ten from the rigging, and they were
safely landed. The brig
.was the Amicizia, of
Genoa, bound from Newcastle to Savona with a
cargo of anchors, chains, and coals. She has since
become a total wreck.
