BOROUGH HOP.

The accounts from the plantations being very unfavour-
able, holders of all kinds of hops are very firm in their
demands, and prices are very freely supported.

EXCITING SCENE AT A FIRE.—A fire broke out
yesterday forenoon in the store-room above the shoe shop
kept by Mr. T. Tool, Shudehill, Manchester. A large
number of young women were at work in the upper storey,
and for some time they were in considerable danger of
being burnt to death. A most exciting scene prevailed.
Some of the young women who were loft in the burning
building had to leap from the door of the store-room into
the street. They were caught in the arms of the crowd.
A strong detachment of the Fire Brigade was quickly on
the spot, and the names were goon got under.

Sheffield Trade Outrages.

3IEETING OF THE LONDON TRADES.

An aggregate meeting of the members of the
London Trade Societies was held last evening, at
Exeter Hall, to protest against the trade outrages at
Sheffield. The meeting had been convened by the
Council of the Amalgamated Engineers' Society,
and was presided over by Mr. W. Allan, the secre-
tary of the society. The large hall was well filled.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings,
strongly denounced the crimes perpetrated by Broad-
head and his accomplices, and said if trade societies
could only be supported by such outrages as have
taken place at Sheffield it were better that they
should cease to exist.

Mr. GUILE, iron founder, moved the first resolu-

tion :—" Resolved—That this meeting of members
of trades' societies not only expresses its utter abhor-
rence of the crimes perpetrated by Broadhead and
his accomplices, but feels bound to say that it can-
not understand how the delegates who composed
the Council of Organised Trades of Sheffield did not
discover for so great a length of time such an
unparalleled system of notorious crimes as has
existed in connection with some of their societies."

He advocated the placing the funds of trades'
societies under the protection of the law, and that
in return for this boon the societies should give
the utmost publicity to their affairs.
Mr. GEO. ODGER (shoemaker) seconded the reso-
lution. He condemned the conduct of the press in
its endeavour to affix a stigma on all trades unions
for the crimes committed by a few men in Sheffield.
Some months before the sitting of this commission
the trade societies of London had denounced the
system of rattening prevalent in some of the Shef-
field trades, but they were not prepared for the re-
velations of outrage and murder which had been
brought to light. (Hear.)
_ _

Mr. Howell (bricklayer), Mr. Dunning (book-
binder), and Mr. Harvey (joiner), supported the
resolution, which was carried unanimously.

Mr. APPLEGAPTH (joiner) moved a resolution

thanking the Sheffield Trades' Commissioners for th©
able manner in which they had brought to light the
organised system of crime prevailing amongst cer-
tain of the Sheffield trades. He hoped the commis-
sioners would extend their inquiry, for he felt con-
vinced they would not find the Sheffield employers
entirely blameless in the matters.
Mr. DODD (zinc worker) seconded the resolution.

Professor BEESLEY and Mr. E. BEALES spoke to
the resolution, expressing their pleasure at having
heard the trade unionists of London so emphatically
repudiate any sympathy with the perpetrators of the
abominable outrages which had taken place.
The resolution was carried unanimously, and
a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

We are informed that the number of applications
for tickets for the review in Hyde Park is so much in ex-
cess of the accommodation provided for the public that no
more can be attended to.

NEW RESIDENCE FOR HER MAJESTY IN THE
HIGHLANDS.—Her Majesty, who has since her annual
visits to Deeside been making improvements year by year
around Balmoral, is having a somewhat extensive house
for her occasional accommodation built on the south-west
end of Loch Muick. The want of such a retreat must have
been long felt, as her Majesty frequently drives to the
vicinity of the loch, and when sketching or visiting the more
distant places on that side of Lochnagar, has had sometimes
to stay over night at " the Hut," where the accommodation
is limited. To obviate this want is the purpose of the
building now in course of construction. The site is in a
very wild but picturesque locality. On each of three sides
of it, and within a few hundred yards of the house, rise
the bold rocky mountains that guard Loch Muick, while
on the fourth side an unbroken view of the loch will bo
obtained. A bridle path leads to the Dhu Loch on the
south-west, whore numerous falls indent and variegate
the increasing wildness of the scenery in that direction.
The house will be large enough to accommodate her Ma-
jesty and a limited suite for a night, and will take two sea-
sons to build. Its isolated position may be imagined when
it is known that it is about seven miles from the nearest
farmhouse, and nearly four miles from the nearest habit-
able dwelling, the latter being the house of one of her Ma-
jesty's gamekeepers.—The Scotsmen.
NEW ACT ON THE SALE AND PURCHASE OF
SHAREs.--Yesterday an important act came into force to
amend the law in respect of the sale and purchase of shares
in joint-stock banking companies. The object of the statute
is to prevent contracts for shares and stock in joint-stock
banking companies of which the sellers are not possessed
or cver which they have no control. It is enacted that all
contracts, agreements, and tokens of sale and purchase
which shall, from and after the Ist of July, be made and
entered into for the sale or transfer of any shares, or of
any stock, or other interest in any joint-stock banking
company in the United Kiagdorn, constituted or regulated
by any Act of Parliament, royal charter, or letters patent,
issuing shares or stocks transferable by any deed or written
instrument, shall be null and void, unless such contract,
&c., shall set forth and designate in writing such shares,
stock, or interest by the respective number by which the
same are distinguished on the register or books of the
banking company, or, where there is no register, then the
name of the proprietor ; and any person, broker, or agent
who shall wilfully insert any false entry of number or
name, shall be guilty of misdemeanour, and liable to fine
or imprisonment. All joint-stock banking companies are
now bound to show a list of shareholders to any registered
shareholder during business hours from ton to four o'clock.
The act is not to extend to shares or stock in the Banks of
England or Ireland.

rf II 0 111 PSON'S PATENT REVOLVING TEA MIXER.—
Yesterday a highly successful demonstration of the
capabilities of this now and very useful invention was
given by the patentee at 18, St. Dunstan's Hill, City.
There was a very largo number of persons connected
with the tea trade Fresent, and much interest was evinced
on the occasion, as it was publicly stated that the person
who could invent a machine for the purpose of perfectly
mixing black and green tea would be instrumental in
saving the lives of many now sacrificed in consequence of
the ill effects arising from the primitive means now
generally used for the purpose. It seems a simple matter
the mixing of tea, but when we for one moment consider
that 102,000,0001b5. was consumed last year in this
country the manual labour of mixing a great quantity 0f
it must halebeen enormous. Mr. Thompson's machine Is
simple in the extreme ; it cannot be disarranged, and
the whole of the skill required to effect the object
is merely turning the handle of the machine
after the various descriptions of tea have been
placed within it. Yesterday about 901bs. each of black
and green tea were separately placed in the drum, making

1801bs. in all, and iu One minute the two sorts were com-
pletely and so thoroughly mixed as to call forth the as"
tonishment and approbation of all present. The machine
combines all the necessities for general use; it is cheap,
portable, occupies but little space, and certainly effective.
Mr. Thompson, who stated that it was the necef,sity of his
trade that compelled him to study the possibility of con-
structing the machine, was warmly congratulated on the
success of his invention by the company present, which
was composed principally of persons who fully understood
and appreciated the value of the new machine.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENO3,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is no change to report in the general dis-
count market. The supplies of capital on offer still
continue abundant. The approaching fourth of
the month, however, has caused a little more inquiry
in commercial circles, some slight improvement
having taken place in trading operations since the
commencement of the fine weather—the rates cur-
rent for the negotiation of first-class paper being
only slightly under the Bank minimum, viz., 2 i
per cent.

There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England yesterday.
The China, with the heavy portion of the India
and China mails, has arrived at Southampton with
specie valued at £7,464.
The Seine, from Brazils, has brought specie to
the amount of £143,558 from New York; the
Cimbria has arrived with £12,400, the City of
Wi;shington, £,11,000 ; and the Bremen, £lOO,OOO ;
making a total of about £267,000.

The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway for the first week in June amount
to $95,073, against $107,839 in the corresponding
period last year, showing a decrease of $12,766.
