THE SUN, LONDON, TUESOAY EVENING, AUGUST 13. 18G7.

The House of Lords has fulfilled the expectation
of its well-wishers, and agreed to the amendments
of the Commons' disagreements to their amend-
ments. This was a wise and patriotic course to
pursue, and we may congratulate them upon it,
and felicitate the country generally upon the
great work of this session being virtually accom-
plished. Considering the difficulties that impeded
the task there has not been an undue delay in the
carrying of this measure, and it is certain that at
any rate the Government have not been to blame
for what has occurred. While we give full credit
to the sincerity of the Commons for the course they
have pursued, we regret they have persisted in con-
sidering the practice of voting papers, and agree
with Lord DERBY that their reasons for so doing are
not very apparent. As the noble lord said they
were like the advice given to a Judge on his ap-
pointment, namely, that he should give his judg-
ment, but never state his reasons. The noble
Premier showed his discernment, when he said that
it was useless to expect the Commons to change
their views, and the advice that he tendered to
their lordships was both constitutional and well-
timed. Anything like a collision between the
Houses just now would be decidedly out of
character, and set the Reform League in a state
of frenzied agitation, while Mr. BRIGHT would be
rampant about the aristocracy, and the end of the
session would not be a promising one. All this has,
we are glad to thimk, been happily avoided by the
prudence and foresight of the Lords. The Marquis
of SALISBURY made some remarks about the voting
papers, and truly stated that next Session it might
be possible to bring in a special bill to carry out this
object, which had indeed been approved by a large
majority of their lordships. Lord RUSSELL made
himself quite ridiculous in his opposition to voting
papers, and declared it to be his opinion that no
hearty approval would be given to such a scheme
by any branch of the Legislature. While we agree
with Lord DERBY that the members of the house
of Commons could hardly have been foolish
enough to have been willing to have a Conference,
and because the custom is that they stand bare-
headed while the Lords sit with cocked hats on, it
is certainly as well that the affair did not come off,
and it would be as well if this extraordinary custom
was done away with altogether, for it ill accords
with the feelings of the present age, and hardly
insures the dignity of either House.
Lord DERBY gave wise advice, in conclusion, to
their lordships, when he said that, " Satisfied with
the important concession in one respect made
to your lordships' feelings and opinions,
I think you should not run the risk of endangering
so important a measure as the present, which has
absnrbecl so much of the time of Parliament, and
has so deeply interested the whole country." As
the noble lord said, " the bill tended to settle a
great and pre-eminently important question, and as
such we feel sure the country will accept it gladly
from the hands of the Legislature, and rejoice that
the work has been so far satisfactorily accom-
plished." It needed no blaze of eloquence to
impart splendour or add lustre to the debate that
was last night held in the Lords. The chief thing
was that the Reform Bill passed safely through the
first sine. Thus the result is what people look to
now,and what they will look to until this generation
has passed away to make room for younger and
fresher spirits to enter on the exciting stage of
politics. The faults of this bill are what have been
most prominent ; the merits will, we think, become
more apparent now that the fire and ferment of dis-
cussion is over, and no party object can be gained by
swelling an adverse division list. We would say, on
behalf of the Conservative Government, that they
need not appeal to facts to show that they have
passed a Reform Bill such as Mr. BRIGHT never
advised his friends to attempt ; such as Earl Rus-
SELL, on whom, it was believed, the mantle of the
defeated chief of Reform had fallen, had never at-
tempted, and such as Mr. GLADSTONE, with his
depth of reasoning, and height of oratory, had
never planned. The franchise has been extended
to those who last year never dreamed of securing
it so soon even by anticipation, and many other im-
portant changes have been wrought.
We would fain believe that the most rampant
among the Opposition, and the most malcontent
among the Ministerialists, will now feel glad that the
work is over, and the country relieved from all
chance of agitation which can gain no practical end
but that of affording opportunities to those possessing
zeal without discretion to lay down the law, and
give rise to angy feelings. Lord DERBY has shown
on this occasion a spirit equal to his early efforts
in the great national task of passing a
Reform Bill, and with matured wisdom
known where to discern the necessity of change,
and where to reckon undue expectation and inordi-
nate demands. As the Premier, with his usual
frankness and generosity declared on a former occa-
sion, the chief work has fallen on Mr. DISRAELI,
and he had the full responsibility devolving upon
him at the most critical juncture, in consequence of
the illness of the first Minister. The right hon.
gentleman may well be proud of the success
which has been his this session, and it is well
known that but for his untiring exertion, great
self-command, and determined forbearance, this
bill would never have survived the second reading.
The most desperate efforts were made to overset
it, but, thanks to the admirable conduct of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, the devotion of his
followers, and the general feeling of the House,
the efforts were harmless. The struggle was, how-
ever, a severe one, and the prize has not been won
without much striving. We think that the passing
of this Reform Bill by the Conservatives will have
a good effect in all directions. The Conservatives
may learn that they must put up with the spirit of
the age if they hope to take a leading part in the
councils of the age ; the Liberals may profit by the
sweet uses of adversity, and try to make their prac-
tice accord a little more with their professions.
The country may learn that those who talk the
most may do the least, and it is always a safer
policy to let both sides have a trial. A monopoly
of office is a very bad thing, quite as
bad as a monopoly of anything else, and
this year has introduced a beneficial change in that
direction. Let all parties unite in rejoicing that
this bill has passed both houses, and let those who
have no real cause left for complaint have the sense
to leave off meetings and such like demonstrations
which can do them no credit. The greatest respect
has been paid to the work of Reform, and those
who honour the cause will best show their reverence
and exhibit their sincerity by acknowledging that
the time has come to allow reality to supersede

ideas.

The production of the Indian Budget is no longer
the mere matter of course that it once was. Indian
politics, though not engaging their due share of

attention, are more widely studied, and more saga-
ciously discussed in the English House of Commons
than formerly, and the debate which last night pre-
ceded the financial statement of Sir STAFFORD
NORTHCOTE included many sensible and practical
suggestions. There is, without doubt, room for
considerable improvement in our Indian Adminis-
tration. The remnants of old routine and prejudice
still cling fatally to the new system of government
and hamper its more vigorous action. The famine
at Orissa has recently given lamentable proof of
the inertness and apathy of some of our officials in
iresence of the more direful calamities, and there
is much reason to fear that it has weakened our in-
fluence and authority. The people seetheir fellows
starving by hundred of thousands, while compara-
tively little is done to help them by a Government
which professes to be the richest and most powerful
in the world. Whether they attribute this to our
incapacity to assist them or our indifference to their
sufferings, the inference is not calculated to
strengthen our hold upon them. This is especially
lamentable, since the Russians are sparing no pains
to extend their influence with the natives, and
the danger, though secret, is not the less real. Mr.
AYRTON, who opened the debate last evening, thinks
that considerable changes are necessary to bring
home to the people of India the benefits of British
rule. Great as those benefits undoubtedly are they
are not so great as they might have been. The
neglect of public works, more especially of
irrigation, so necessary in such a country as
India, has been a serious drawback to the civilisa-
tion of the people and the development of the
national resources of the country—a drawback not
to have been expected under the rule of a nation so
famous for its engineers. It is difficult to estimate
the loss inflicted upon the country through this
neglect. Mr. KINNAIRD, who seconded the motion
of Mr. AYRTON last evening, observed that it was
impossible not to conclude that by prudent foresight
much of the misery in Orissa might have been
averted. An irrigation company had undertaken
a scheme for the irrigation of the Mahawuddee
and the adjoining county, and their works had nearly
progressed to the point when they might have
e been
out. And what was the reason that they were not
further advanced? The plans had been kept for
famine broke
brought into partial use when the
15 months in London after they had received the
sanction of Lord CANNING. had the irrigation
work been in operation in Orissa the lives of
thousands might have been saved. The extra-

are unanimous on its advantages. How is it, then,
that it does not get on faster? Lord CRANBORNE,
in a pointed and vigorous speech, said that it con-
stituted one of the mysteries of the India House
which he had not been able to fathom. " Sir
CHARLES IV OOD was, I believe, very anxious about
irrigation, and I know Sir J. LAWRENCE was ;
but, however, neither could convince the other
that he was anxious about it." Lord CRAN-
BORNE attributes much of the mismanagement
which undoubtedly exists to two principal
causes, the excessive centralisation of Indian ad-
ministration, and the irresponsibility and ineffi-
ciency of the Council. With regard to the first
cause, he believes it to be the secret of the
failure in carrying out the small public works of
India, since it destroys all the zeal and energy
of the men whose business it is to carry out the
works, but who are under the control and direc-
tion of officials at a great distance, who know
nothing of the subject in hand. As for the
Indian Council, Lord CEANBORNF. holds that
it should not exercise such vast powers
without more direct responsibility. " Remember,"
i t te
said the noble lord very forcibly, " that the Coun-
cil have every item of expenditure, large and
small, under their control, and every act of the
Government which can involve expenditure—that
is to say, the vast majority of its acts. But you
never blame the Council if the Government of
India goes wrong. You blame the Secretary of
State ; is the figure that stands before Par-
liament. You find irrigation works not carried
on ; you find a great province starving, and for
all you know it may be the Council which pre-
vents the Secretary of State from taking
any measures at all." Personal responsi-
bility, says Lord CRANBORNE, is what we
require in the government of India, and in this he
agrees with Mr. LAING, no mean authority. Mr.
MILL, indeed, whose opinions have especial weight
on this subject, is in favour of the Council, and
thinks that a larger view of Indian affairs is ob-
tainedltoirtlscetee. d

übutknows
there is one point connected with our Anglo-
Indian Government that greatly needs atten-
tion—the exclusion of the natives from any great
share or interest in the Government. The people of
India do not lack ability or ambition, and, as Mr.
SEYMOUR last night remarked, they can hardly fail
to compare the Russian with the English system.
The natives of the countries under Russian rule are
freely admitted to the highest dignities, while in
India the natives are excluded from all high official
places. This is a grievous error, and one which, if
we do not look to it, we shall have cause to repent.

to make the local Turkish authorities answerable
for their proper treatment.

Although yesterday was Sunday the trial of the
woman Frigard, for the alleged murder near Fon-
tainbleau, was proceeded with at Melun. The case
for the prosecution was not concluded. The chief
point of interest of the evidence given was that of
Aladame Boyer, who keeps the accounts at the
Hotel du France et Angleterre at Fontainbleau.
She stated that, during her temporary absence on
the evening of the 7th of May, the servants had
received two ladies from Paris at the hotel. When
she saw them, from their vulgar manner and be-
haviour, she regretted that they had been admitted.
She did not see either of them the next morning,
but in the afternoon about four o'clock the shorter
one of the two (the prisoner) came back and told
her that she had lost her friend in the forest, but
that she was not uneasy about her, because she
expected to find her at the railway station.
The witness added that while the prisoner
was saying these things, which she thought
very strange, she examined the lady. She was con-
tinually smiling, but, nevertheless, there was some-
thing about her (the prisoner) which the witness did
not like. A cold fowl was served up to the prisoner
for dinner, which she carved into pieces, but she eat
a simple morsel, and left by the omnibas at a quar-
ter past six fur the station for Paris. On leaving
the prisoner again smiled at the witness, a fact
which, said the latter, did not confirm her good
opinion of a woman who said that she had left her
friend alone in the forest. The prisoner next paid
for her dinner with a bank-note for 100 f., which
was identified as being the property of the deceased.
The King of Sweden dined on Friday last with
his cousin, Baron Nicolas Clary. The other guests
were the Countess d 3 Montijo, the Countess de
Nava, the Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Baron Hausmann, the Swedish Minister,
M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, the King's aide-de-
camp, General Casteluau, the Emperor's aid-de-
camp, Count and Countess Clary, Viscount Jus-
tinian Clary, and Captain Clary.
Among the circumstances which seem to justify
a belief that the Exhibition building will not be
destroyed is a report that a company has proposed
to lease the building just as it is stands for an
annual rent of 200,000 f. The same company also
undertakes to reimburse in 30 annuities the 22
millions expended in the construction of the Palace
and its dependencies.

The animals rushed on past Stobhall house and

when his lordship by a great effort succeeded in

upset. Happily none of the party were seriously
injured, although, of course, the ladies were much
alarmed. The son of Lord Cairns has escaped
serious injury ; but he was much frightened, and
his nervous system received a severe shock. The
carriage was much damaged, and one of the horses
so badly cut in the neck that it is not expected to

DISHING THE 117.11IGS."

(From the Spectator)

, ~•-•

tional landmarks which Tories are accustomed to
describe as almost divine. They have acted for years
as breakwaters against the tide of Radicalism, as
protectors of Conservative ideas from the assaults
of the people. Yet Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli,
simply to win a party victory, have avowedly striven
to replace this party by one which they regard
as more menacing, more extreme, more hostile
to sound political principles. They have not I.lei-
tated to get rid of the Girondins by calling in the
Mountain, to strike up an alliance with democrats,
if only by their aid they might have the temporary
pleasure of crushing the Whigs. Grant that they
have deprived their old antagonists of their strongest
lever, the cry of Reform, still, in disarming them,
they have tripled the power of antagonists yet more
bitter to whom that lever is unnecessary. The very
first effect of this Reform Bill will be to make a
Radical Cabinet, which yesterday was impossible,
not only possible, but probable—indeed, allowing
for accident, quite certain ; that is, to shift the
government of the country from men with whom
Tories have many principles of agreement to men
whom they regard, or affect to regard, as hostile to
the constitution. We may look with composure or
pleasure on the change—in itself a revolution—but
is it one honest Tories could heartily promote ? is
it not from their point of view very like calling in
the foreigner rather than yield to a domestic enemy ?
As a matter of fact, the foreigner will but enlist the
party they are so anxious to crush ; but is all their
party patriotism merely rancour? To " dish the
Whigs" the Tory chiefs have made England demo-
cratic, and they will before long have the satisfac-
tion of seeing the democrats they have called to their
aid putting the Whigs they hoped so ardently to
destroy in front.

Mr. Disraeli has openly admitted that party mo-
tive for the Reform Bill which Lord Derby, when
taxed with it, did not venture to deny. Lord Gran-
ville, with his adroit indiscretion, recently told in
the House of Lords how the Premier, attacked by
a friend as to his bill, had defended it with the sim-
ple argument, " Don't you see how it has dished the
Whigs ?" Mr. Disraeli, in his speech of Wednes-
day night, at the Mansion-house—a speech of quite
unusual bitterness and bumptiousness, declared, in
graver language, the same belief, asserted that he
had " attempted to disturb a monopoly ;" that this
had produced all the irritation ; that the Whigs
believed they had a hereditary right to deal with
the question of reform ; but that "he had in his
time seen many monopolies broken up, and recently
he had seen the termination of the monopoly of
liberalism." " Nor are we to be surprised that when
certain persons believed that they had an hereditary
right, whenever it was necessary to renovate the in-
stitutions of their country, they should be somewhat
displeased that any other persons should presume to
interfere with those changes which I hope in the
spirit of true patriotism they believed the require-
ments of the State rendered necessary. But lam
sure that when the hubbub has subsided—when the
shrieks and screams which were heard some time ago,
and which have already subsided into sobs and sighs,
shall be entirely appeased—nothing more terrible
will be discovered to have occurred than that the
Tory party has resumed its natural functions in the
government of the country. For what is the Tory
party unless it represents national feeling ? If it do not
represent national feeling, Toryism is nothing. It
does not depend upon hereditary coteries of exclu-
sive nobles ; it does not attempt power by attracting
to itself the spurious force which may accidentally
arise from advocating cosmopolitan principles, or
talking cosmopolitan jargon." In short, in Mr.
Disraeli's opinion, as in Lord Derby's, the bill has
" dished the Whigs." The great party, which for
180 years has, under one name or another, ruled the
destinies of Great Britain, which has led, and in
leading has moderated every popular movement,
which founded and defended the constitutional
monarchy, purified and restored the national repre-
sentation, emancipated the Catholics, abolished
slavery, relieved the people of the Bloody Code,
risked its existence to secure justice to Ireland, esta-
blished the freedom of commerce and manufacture,
and authorised the people to buy bread where they
will ; the party to which we owe the almost un-
broken, though gradual progress of two centuries,
which alone has known how to reconcile aris-
tocratic permanence with the popular thirst
for advance, which but yesterday induced
the middle class peacefully to transfer its power to
the nation, has been killed, cooked, served up, by
Mr. Disraeli and his chief, and the bearers of the
platter are ready to dance with exultation. There
is to be no more " cosmospolitan jargon," no more
respect for humanity outside two petty islands, no
more aspiration, no more effort to occupy worthily
the place of a leader among the nations. The Whigs
are " dished." England is a parish, and Tory
vestrymen—led by a chairman who at heart scorns
his followers as only one of his race can scorn, who
tells them openly that they are " flat-nosed bar-
barians"—are to maintain a leaden rule, broken
only by passionate efforts of poor Radicals deprived
of their hereditary leaders, with the bones of the
Liberal party all crushed, to lift off the irresistible
weight.
It is a noble prospect, and one at which a party
who, when their one converted Whig is sick, have
not among them a peer with brains enough to carry
out his orders, who have raised Mr. Disraeli to
power because he broke the heart of their own one
man of genius, naturally exult. The Upper House
without Whigs would be a paradise for the dull, a
place where a Duke of Marlborough would seem
almost bright, and Lord Malmesbury rank as a
statesman, and what a relief would that be to a
Premier weary of finding brains for the incapable,
eloquence for the silent! A Lower House full of
Ayrtons and Hardys, with himself to gull the one
and make combinations with the other—what a
delightful prospect for Mr. Disraeli ! But, then, is
there the faintest prospect of its realisation ? The
Carlton thinks so, though with a suspicion under-
lying all its confidence, for, after all, the Carlton
has read Mr. Disraeli as well as heard him, and
we believe it is the greatest of the Carlton's de-
lusions. By the " Whigs," who are " dished,"
Lord Derby means, first of all, that group of power-
ful and titled families to which the Stanleys pro-
perly belong, which from 1688 to 1832 adminis-
tered Great Britain, and held down Ireland ; and
secondly, those moderate but determined Liberals
who have found allianc' with those families the
swiftest and most certain road to great reforms.
No w, what on earth is there in this bill to break the
power of either of these two classes ? We like
neither cordially, for we detest the laissez-faire
theory which they have of late years, in the lazi-
ness of their triumph, chosen to adopt ; and we be-
lieve that their social ideas, ideas summed up in the
one word " exclusiveness," have seriously injured, it
may be have permanently, weakened the fibre of
the national character. They, and not the Tories,
are responsible for that spirit of fiunkeyism, that
adoration of a social fetish, which inculcated for
thirty years by successful and able men, has honey-
combed English manliness. But what is there in
this bill to destroy them ? The county suffrage?
Well, if there is a human being likely to conciliate
a twelve-pound county elector, it is a Cavendish or
a Fitzwilliam, a great landowning magnate, wil-
ling to advocate heartily liberal ideas. The squires
can vote for him without a fight with the electors
of the great villages and unrepresented towns, who
if the squires do not effect that compromise, will
carry in the contest of the factions men neither
party will approve. Is it the borough suffrage ?
The social rank of the Whigs will help them as much
as their rivals, and they have, this bill once passed,
nothing to divide them from the people. There is
no internal reform, no measure of construction in
which they cannot heartily join. Is it they who
must refuse, or will have the instinct of refusing,
radical measures in Ireland, or great schemes of
education, or protection to co-operotion, or the re -
visal of the land laws ? Is it they specially who arc
interested in the stupid system of rating which now
presses as heavily on England as protection, who
will resist a popular army, who will shrink from
opening the universities, who will draw back from
liberalising the Church, frightened by the awful-
ness of mitres ? What is there in the programmeof
the future which is to drive the Whigs away from
their usual position as vanguard of the Liberals ?
We do not care much if they are driven
away ; England can live without Cavendishes or
Russells, Fitzwilliams or Campbells ; prosperity will
not cease with the Grosvenors, or administrative
ability perish with Elliotts and Greys; but Mr.
Disraeli does care, and so far as we can see he is not
in the least likely to be gratified. Doubtless they
will have to reform their creed, and remodel their
policy, put forward new men, and abandon entirely
their wretched dogma of laissez-faire ; but those
changes will but make them more competent, and
to change effete Whigs into active Whigs is not, as
Mr. Disraeli will shortly discover, equivalent to
"dishing" IVhigs. Lord llartington with a radical
programme is at least as formidable a person to Mr.
Disraeli and his followers as Lord liartington with
no policy at all, and that is all the change he will
have E..ucceeded in effecting. He will have compelled
Whigs to lead instead of restraining Radicals, and
he actually sings shrilly his im in of triumph over
that victory for his principles ! The first election
will prove little, but within ten years we shall again,
we arc confident, find the old Whig names in the
front, doing the good they have always done, and
probably also the evil which has too frequently
marked their action, consolidating the Radicals, but
rendering their policy slower, feebler, and less logical
than it would otherwise become.
But let us admit for a moment that Lord Derby's
and Mr. Disraeli's view is correct, and what a depth
of political immorality is disclosed ! In whatever
the Whigs differ from the Radicals they approach
closer to the Tories. They are more cautious, more
conservative, more averse to change, more friendly
to landlordism, better inclined to Church establish-
-meats, less willing to alter any of those constitu

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IHE BORDER'

The Kelso correspondent of the Scotsman writes:
—" An official communication has been received
from Colonel Biddulph by Mr. Craig, chief magis-
trate of Kelso, informing him that the Queen will
leave Windsor Castle for Floors Castle, Kelso, on 3
visit to the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, 013
Tuesday night, the 20th of August, and that her
Majesty will arrive at Kelso Station on Wednesdalt
the 21st, at 9.35 in the morning. In order to pre-
vent confusion or accident during her Majesty's pro-
gress through Kelso, the magistrates have issued 3
notice closing the streets for general traffic from 91
in the morning until after the Royal cortege s";
have passed, and that no carriage or other vehle'e
shall be allowed to stand on the streets on the rout°
so long as these are closed for traffic. The man,
trates have also issued a notice, in compliance wit"
a widely-expressed desire on the part of the lire
habitants, calling for a general illumination of til,
town. The Royal Reception Committee resolved
on Friday evening that the address should be Pre.,
sented in the square, where some 15,000 people c 3,
witness the ceremony. On the day of her arrivtl
the Queen will visit the interesting and historical
places around Kelso. On Thursday, we believeci
her Majesty will visit Melrose, Abbotsford, 31),,
Dryburgh, and on the Friday will pay a visit to
the ancient burgh of Jedburgh. The ileY,;lo
visit to Greenhill, one of the residences of the PIP;
of Roxburghe on the Cheviots, has been poste iv,'
owing to a want of time and the hill road not beie!„
good. We understand that no fewer than 55 Yot113;
ladies will strew flowers on the royal path as liej
Majesty enters Kelso. They will be all dreg for
in white. Her Majesty will leave Floors Castle ,9
Balmoral at 10 o'clock on the Friday evening, 00
way of Edinburgh." The Jedburgh correspondevo
of the Scotsman writes :—" Some alterations 113,40
been made in the arrangement regarding 'ea
Queen's visit to Jedburgh, and it is now anuo°Al
that, instead of her Majesty only passing throuc'to
the burgh on her way to Greenhill, she will that

the Royal party will arrive here about iniddaYt

that, after the address of the magistrates is delivof

MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGItN,E,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No essential alteration is apparent to-day in the
general condition of the money market. There is
still a steady and growing demand for commercial
purposes, and agricultural requirements, now that
the harvest has set in with some activity, are
expected to create a little more activity in monetary
circles. Heavy settlements are impending at the
Stock Exchange, owing to the recent operations in
Consols, the New Threes, and other descriptions of
Government securities. Day by day largo
quantities of stock are withdrawn on account of
investors, who find it inexpedient to seek for
greater - interest and for better security in
other quarters. The funds are advancing,
besides, all things considered, they are
worth more than the figure at which they are quoted.
'There upward tendency is also communicated by
the scarcity of stock, and the erroneous views of
the speculators for a decline, the operations of whom
have committed themselves so heavily that two
jobbers on the house have this morning been forced
to declare themselves unable to provide for their
liabilities. It would not create surprise if further
disasters immediately followed, so wild have been
the attempts made by excessive sales to depreciate
values, in spite of numerous circumstances promis-
ing much greater prosperitrin the general condition
of the country. With the assurances of the Monitear
with regard to Prussia, and the progress of
the Reform Bill, together with more settled advices
from New York, politics at home and abroad have
now become as favourable as could be expected.
As in the Cousol department, so in the markets for
foreign banks, railway shares, and in the various
miscellaneous descriptions, heavy losses have been
incurred by recent dealing, the fluctuation having
been considerable during the last fortnight. In
many of the railway shares the movement has
ranged from 5 to 10 per cent., and suspensions are
therefore likely to ensue, notwithstanding the
plethora of money, and the consequent easy terms
upon which accommodation can be obtained.
There were no gold operations at the Bank of
England yesterday. _ _

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain steady, at 24 26 ; and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds, at 211 221.
At the meeting held to-day of the London and
Elackwall Railway Company, the directors reported
that the rent for the half-year ending 30th June
last had been received, and that a dividend for that
period, at the rate of £4 10s. per annum, should be
declared, payable on the 14th instant.
The traffic returns on the Melbourne and Hob-
sou's Bay United Railway, for the week ending
30th
.May last, was £1,633 against £2,103 in the
corresponding week in 1866 ; week ending 6th
June, £3,083 against £3,749 ; week ending 13th
June, £1,742 against £2,073 ; and for the week
ending 20th June, £1,897 against £2,353 in the
corresponding week of 1866.

At the meeting held to-day of the London and
South Western Bank the report of the directors for
the half-year ending 30th Juno last, was presented.
The directors recommended that a dividend be de-
clared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of
income-tax, and that the balance of £BBl, includ-
ing £516 rebate on bills not due, be carried to
profit and loss new account.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has again been very
little business entered into. Sugar, however, has in
most instances maintained former rates. In China
tea the dealings have been unimportant, but sales of
Indian produce, to the extent of about 10,000 pack-
ages, are "announced. Rice ;has continued to sup-
port full rates, as also superior qualities of coffee,
cocoa, and spices. In tallow there has been very
little variation as regards quotations for either
present or forward delivery.

Two o'CLocic.

According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-
day, the French Relates were 61f. 82c. Very
firm.

The improvement in the English Funds has con-
tinued, but the advance is only 1-16th, though all
the markets are firm, with an upward tendency,
especially Consols, which are 914 95 for money,
and 95 for the account.

The Government broker has this morning com-
menced his purchases for the Sinking Fund, by
buying an amount of £15,000.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little
change of importance. Great Luxembourg are
dealt in at 114; North Austria and Lombardo-
Venetian, 154 ; Grand Trunk of Canada at 174 ;
Great Western of Canada, 154 4 ; East Indian,
1081 1094 ; and Great Indian Peninsula, 108 1081.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been to a fair extent, but in a few instances prices
have shown less firmness. Great Northern have
declined 2 ; Brighton and Metropolitan each 1;
South-Eastern ; and London, Chatham, and
Dover, 4 ; while Great Eastern and Lancashire and
Yorkshire have each improved 4.
Foreign stocks generally are very firm. Turkish
6 per Cents. are j higher, at 314 324 ; Greek 4, at
131 14 ; Spanish Passive 4, at 214 4 ; Certificates

declined ,to 46 and United States Government
5.2° Bonds to 76 j ; and Illinois are steady at

jtidon and Westminster have improved to 93 94k;

WORCESTER, Aug. 10.—This has been a week of
great excitement in the hop trade. On this market
values have daily changed considerably, making the
advance on 186G's since our last report equal to 25s
per cwt. We never knew held at this period, both
by planters and the trade, so limited a stock of
hops, the total being a mere nothing as in compari-
son with the stock on hand in some years at this
time ; which holders are well aware of, making
them sanguine that we are to witness much
more enhanced rates as we approach nearer
the picking season, when the. public will be
better able to realise the true condition of the new
growth. Present Currency—Rough 1866 Worms-
tors £lO 15s. to £ll 55., fine ditto £ll 10 to £l2,
very choice £l2 125., all per cwt., cash, at the scale.
With but few exceptions, planters speak most de-
spondingly of the growing crop, which, if anything,
is worse than when we wrote last. The frosty
nights in the early part of the week have checked
the burr, it makes no progress ; and this materially
lessens the chances of the yield on the good grounds.
The Herefordshire accounts are worse than our own;
and there cannot be much doubt now but, under the
most favourable circumstances, the crop of hops
picked in this district will be very small indeed.
With the exception of the Valley of the Froome,
the pick of hops this year in this county hardly
deserves the name of a crop. Of course, there are
exceptions here and there, where hops will be
grown ; but these are but a few favoged spots.
AYLESFORD.—We find but slight improvement
here. The plant looks burnt up, and we fear the
hops are beyond all hope of recovery.
