'.,'HE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROS'SMITH'S
"GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 180. The Crisis is at band. 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."

OUR WHEAT IMPORTATIONS.

The sources of our supply of wheat during the
present year present remarkable changes from those
of 1859 and 1858, owing to the splendid harvests in
Russia and America. In 1858 Prussia took the lead,
but Russia is now largely at the head of the list,
and Prussia and the United States follow. Last
year there was scarcely any importation from the
latter country, but we have now drawn from her
more than one-fifth of our total receipts, while
Prussia has contributed exactly the same quantity.
The Russian arrivals have constituted nearly one-
fourth of our entire imports. Although Prussia is no
longer at the top, her capacity steadily increases, and
her change of place is owing merely to the much more
rapid advance of Russia. The United States' sup-
plies are at present likewise increasing month by
month with great quickness, and Vie return for
will complete the year,
December, which will prao-
bablv put that country above Prussia, whose plce
Will then be third. France this year exhibits a
great falling off, but we have still taken from that
country much more than might have been expected
from the general account of the French harvest.
Among the minor sources Egypt presents the prin-
cipal falling off. Annexed is a statement of the
exact proportion per cent. contributed from the
various countries of the world during the last three
years. In estimating the effect of the several varia-
tions, the great difference in present prices com-
pared with those of 1858 and 1859 must be parti-
cularly borne in mind :

ZEPHYRINE TISSUE.—In Addison and Pope's
day the ladies patched their faces with small pieces of black
silk. A code of secret signals could be thus arranged for
questionable flirtation. Court plaister has, in later times,
made some amends for the hypocritical behests of its former
mistresses. Yet it is a harsh and in many cases
pernicious
covering for a sore, apt to get dry and quit its duty at a
time when no substitute is at hand. It has, nevertheless,
been much in request in the absence of a better protection
for wounds. In a recent introduction, termed " Zephyrine
Tissue," we find all that is needed. It is singularly trans-
parent, and carries a charm, not only in its appearance, but
in its healing properties. A medical chest or housewife
without the Zephyrine Tissue will is 'utur4 be an anomaly,

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 o•rim 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."

nN TRUE nWFALSE SPERIVTATORRTICEA;
V with the View to the Correction of Wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferera front De-
bility of the Generative system. or Sexual Ilypochroniirlasis.

Translated from the German ot Dr. PICKFORD?
" Dr. Pickford 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 flagrant 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 hook,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who laroless 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 arc 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
annotice 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."—

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

VIENNA, DEC. 28 (EvENING).

An autograph letter of the Emperor, dated the
est inst,, and addressed to the President of the
'inperial Chancery Court for Transylvania, orders
t
immediate organisation of the Chancery and
also of the" Gubermnm" for the same province.
The same letter also orders the assembling of a
conference of the most eminent persons from the
/4,110118 classes of the different nationalities and
religious confessions to deliberate on the early or-
pulsation of the Transylvania Diet. The privi-
s,ges of this Diet are to be determined according to
ancient public rights of the citizens, but within
the
Ile limits prescribed by the imperial diploma of the
23(1 Oct.
The said conference will also make propositions
14 reference to the re-establishment of the former
ltdMinistrative divisions of Transylvannia and of
the officers of lords lieutenants Obergespane) and
chief captains ( Obercapztane) of the counties. It
will also discuss the re-establishment of the offices
°f superior royal judges ( Oberkonigsrichter) of the
SZeekler, and of the Saxon legal and administrative
authorities (Sachsen-Stuhle).

PESTH, DEC. 27.

The General Congregation of the city of Pesth

hate him tried by the Hungarian tribunals.

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 22.

The Jeddah claims have been definitively set-

-4°lB at 53.
The Grand Vizier's report on the Roumelian
klesieti has been published.
The Vizier declares that the complaints were
ezag'gerated. The Christians, he says, are not
Illeeptionally oppressed, but the Greek clergy are
much to blame.

THE .ROAYL DRAMATIC' COLLEGE.

Mr. Gye having placed his magnificent theatre
at the disposal of the committee of the Royal Dra-
matic College, a dramatic performance in aid of
the funds of the institution was given last night,
which was attended with the most extraordinary
success. The entertainment consisted of selections
from celebrated plays, each character being sup-
ported in the strongest manner.
The reception of Mr. Keeley, Mr. Webster, Mr.
Charles Mathews, Mr. Phelps, Mr. Toole, Mr.
Creswick, and Mr. Buckstone was highly flatter-
ing, but that accorded to the veteran tar, T. P.
Cooke, was extraordinary. Immediately he made
his appearance, with his war medal glittering on
his breast, in the well-known scene in "Black
Eyed Susan," he was greeted with a burst of ap-
plause such as was never heard within the new
theatre. After acknowledging the honour, the play
proceeded. The following pleasant little incident
occurred during the performance : William was re-
lating to Gnatbrain (Mr. Toole), the "yarn" about
St. Domingo Billy,and on asking Gnatbrain what the
sailors found inside the shark when they cut him
up on deck, Mr. Toole, in the most humorous and
earnest manner imaginable, said, " I'll tell you
' what they couldn't find—that's another T. P.
Cooke." This observation called forth immense
applause, which having subsided, Mr. Cooke shook
hands with Mr. Toole and said, " That's very kind
of you, but I don't wish to be found inside St.
Domingo Billy—(laughter)---I don't intend to be
made a Toole of in that manner." (Great laughter
and applause.) Cooke's celebrated hornpipe con-
cluded this part of the entertainment, and the cur•
tain descended amidst a complete storm of applause,
which was incessantly kept up until the veteran
once more appeared before the curtain. Imme-
diately he again showed himself the applause, if
that were possible, increased in intensity, the ladies
waving their handkerchiefs and fans and the gen-
tlemen their hats. A scene was produced that
certainly within our recollection, and it extends
over more years than we care to remember, is with-
out precedent. Silence having been restored, the
entertainment proceeded to a satisfactory conclu-
sion. In addition to the dramatic performers, Miss
Catherine Hayes, Miss Pyne, Mr. W. Harrison,
Mr. J. W. Raynor and his band of Christy's
Minstrels, added their talents, which, with that of
Mr. A. Mellon and the orchestra, formed altogether
a night's entertainment such as is seldom, if ever,
witnessed. The house, it is nearly unnecessary to
observe, was crowded to suffocation.
London, England, 1860-03-30

COLONIAL.

TEA..—The market has been exceedingly quiet, and at
public sale prices declined about ld. per lb. on all descrip-
tions.

StlGAß.—There has been only a moderate demand, and
in some qualities prices are a shade lower. In the refined
market prices have remained without nominal alteration.
COFFEE.—A strong inquiry has been experienced for the
better qualities of Plantation Ceylon, and an advance of
6d. per cwt. has been established. Other qualities brought
fully late quotations.
ItYcE.—The demand has continued brisk, and en fxten-
sis e busine,3 has been done at tuil values.
SALTPETRE.—Rather less animation has been apparent,
but no mate, ial change can be recorded in values.
TALLOW.—The market 1112 continued very quiet, prices
having shown a downward movement. P.Y.C. on the
spot, is quoted 575. 6d. , April to June delivery, 55e, 6d.;

MR. IiENRY LESLIES CHOIR.

The third concert given last night in St. Martin's
Hall was unquestionably good—scarcely a single
item in the programme but what might be cited as
a gem. The motet for quartet and chorus, " Source
of all light and life," by Hauptmanu, however,
might be objected to as unworthy a place in so fine
a selection ; but even that work is remarkably well
written, and is by no means ineffective. Merldels-
sohn's Forty-third Psalm—composed for the Berlin
choir in or about the year 1845—was the great
feature of the performance, and was sung through-
out with wonderful precision and firmness. Meyer-
beer's motet, " Pater Noster," was another splendid
performance, and was encored with acclamation.
Indeed, the choir were in their best force, and
never surpassed the singing of last night.
The audience, a large one, seemed thoroughly de-
lighted with the entertainment, and honoured Mr.
Leslie with a salvo of applause as he retired from
the platform.

regularly discussed.
Lord WYNFORD asked whether staff appo intmer.ts
would be open to officers in the local army, 'and whefher
they would be permitted to exchange into her Maje ,sty's

service?
Tlfe Duke M ARGYLL. was understo®d to am, ier the
first questiOn in the afirmative. As to the latter, he was
not then prepared to give an answer.
The Earl ot ELLENBOROUGH suggested to t: he Mar-
quis of Clanricarde to move for the production of as y docu-
ments which would show what was.the opinion of thi 3 Indian
council in this country.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said he was disposed
to do so.. The house had a right to know their opinions.
They had been appointed to assist the Secretary of State,
and he ought to be able to rely on their advice.
The subject then dropped.
THE EASTER HOLIDAYS.

Lord CHELMSFORD asked when it was proposed that
the house should adjourn ?
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he should move the
adjournment on Tuesday next. To prevent the necessity of
their sitting late to-morrow, he would ask the house to sit
pro forma on Saturday, to proceed vith certain bills from
the other house.
k Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time :—Cannock
Chase Railway, Chesterfield and Worksop Road, East
Somerset Railway, Leicester Cemetery, London and Black-
wall Railway; London, Brighton, and South-Coast Railway
(Croydon to Balham Hill) ; Lower King's Ferry Road ;
North 'Staffordshire Railway ; and Sheffield Water.

CHURCH RATES.
A large number of petitions were presented in favour of
a total abolition of church rates.
BERWICK-ON-TWEED ELECTION.

Mr. F. PEEL, chairman of the committee appointed to
try the merits of this petition, reported•that the committee
had found that Mr. Marjoribanks was duly elected, that
bribery had been extensively committed at the last election
for BersVick-on-Tweed, but without the knowledge of the
sitting member, that one of the witnesses had been
guilty of perjury, and that the committee had struck oft
the roll several electors of the borough.
, • PO.OR-LAW OFFICERS.

Mr. FREELAND moved for copies of letters of instruc-
tion to poor-law inspectors, of orders issued, and of inqui-
ries, if auy,,instituted with reference to the cases of defal-
cation and embezzlement by poor-law officers in the metro-

P....pHs, set forth in Parliamentary paper, No. 59, of the
present session, with the results of such inquiries, where

Lord WYNFORD asked whether staff appointments
would be open tufficers in the local army, and whether
they would be permitted to exchange into her Majesty's

The Duke of ARGYLL was understosd to answer the
first question in the affirmative. As to the latter, he was
not then prepared to give an answer.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII suggested to the Mar-
quis of Clanricarde to move for the production of any docu-
