We copy the following from the Mining Journal:
Remarks.—The metal market has continued to
present during the past week the same encouraging
features as it did during the former one. It is
very satisfactory also to find that a much greater
feeling of confidence is springing up as to the re-
covery of the metal trade from its long period of
depression, and also as to the improvement
in commercial affairs generally, and that before
long we shall enter upon a course of
much greater activity and vigour, which we
trust will speedily lead to the return to the former
state of commercial prosperity. Orders are still
coining forward with much greater regularity, and
buyers seem now less afraid to enter into pretty
extensive operations, and some considerable pur-
chases have been made during the week. This fact
alone shows that the metal trade is recovering ;
and, though it may be only gradual, yet we have
every reason to believe that it will be permanent,
and we hope soon to find that speculators will
be enabled to enter operations with some-
thing like confidence, as this will be sure to
give a decided impetus to the market, and render it
Still more lively and encouraging. Prices also
'seem now to be on the move upward, and we may
safely calculate that most metals have now seen
their lowest point, and will gradually creep up
until they attain that which will be far more remu-
nerative than they have been for some time past.
Altogether, the appearance of the metal market is
more gratifying than it has been lately.

Two o'C LOCI.

The Consol Market for the week has closed very
quietly, bat the unsettled feeling concerning the
Weather and the crops have caused a slight degree
of depression. Consols are now i lower, at 94} i
for money, and 94i 1 for the account. The atten-
dance in the City to-da) has been small, owing to
the fineness of the weather and the absence of ac-.

tine business.

9444 ; Bank of England Stock, 264 ; India 5 per
Cents., 1134 13 4 ; do. Enfaced 4 per Cents., 874.

change. Mexican continue at 141 4 ; Spanish
Passive at 214 ; Certificates at 161 j ; Greek at
134 14 ; and Turkish 5 per Cents. at 314 4;
Italian have advanced to 494 ; but Chili= Scrip
has declined 4, to 2 14 dis.

anY material change in values, Dutch Rhenish being
dealt in at 214 ; Ottoman, at 24 ; Bombay and
baroda, at 1024 1034 ; East Indian, at 1094 4 ;
Great Indian Peninsula, at 1094 110 ; and Grand
Trunk of Canada, at 184.
Bank shares are very quiet. London and West-
Minster, however, have improved to 704 4 ex new
_E_bares, and Union of London to 394. London and
9ounty are marked 53i, and Imperial Ottoman
9i.

American Securities present no variation. Erie
Shares are 45 46 ; Illinois, 77i 781; and United
States 5-20 Bonds, 731 1.
Renewed firmness is apparent in the Railway
Share Market, prices generally showing a further

THE TAILORS' S7RIKE.

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST TIIE "PICKETERS."
. Alfred Bailey, vice-president of the Amalgamated
Society of Journeymen Tailors ; Peter Horrocks,
secretary of the same society ; Samuel Partridge,
president of the Operative Tailors' Association ;
Jenkin Jones, Tamuel Newbury, Edward Omerod,
Thomas Geary, Mortice, James Glendon,Thomas
Flood, George Templing, Alfred Sherman, Robert
Knox, Robert Druller, —Stokes, and Winterton
were summoned before Mr. Knox, at Marlborough-
street, Police office, for that they did, on the 29th
May, unlawfully conspire, combine, confederate,
and agree, with divers others, to impoverish in
their respective trades as tailors, henry George
Poole of Savile-row ; Joseph Stohwasser, of
Conduit-street ; Thomas Wom.-_,.rshausen, Thomas
Bowatt..r, Thomas Guthrie, J. 11. Smalpage, and
other waster tailors, by forcing journeymen to de-
sert their work, and preventing them from working
fur the complainants. The real question was to try
the legality of what is called the picketing system.

Mr. Sleigh and Mr. F. 11. Lewis (instructed by
Messrs. Valiance and Valiance) appeared in sup-
port of the summonses ; and Mr. Edward Lewis,
of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the de-
fendants.

Mr. E. Lewis asked whether any practical advan

tage would be gained by going on with these cases,
while cases of a similar character were pending for

trill at the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday
next. As a matter of policy he would ask for a
postponement for the purpose of allowing the sum-
monses to abide the event of the forthcoming trial,
when, if the verdict of the jury was against them,
the defendants would feel bound to respect it.
Mr. Sleigh said Mr. Lewis was present when the

late intended trial was postponed, after a similar
pledge had been given by the defendants through
their counsel, and must be aware that notwithstand-
ing that solemn pledge the system was renewed in all
its vigour. Mr. Baron Bramwell at the time ob-
served that he would only consent to postpone the
trial on the understanding that the pledge was
given in good faith. The return for this indulgence
was for the Journeymen Tailors' Associations to
place pickets on all the leading establishments in
London, and to carry on that system of picketing
more effectually and pertinaciously, if possible, than
before. Under these circumstances he must ask
the magistrates to hear the case at once.
Mr. Knox did not know that he had the right to
stop the proceedings. He would speak out plainly.
lie had been so shocked at what he had learned

---
about unions since his return to England, that

after learning that a solemn pledge, solemnly given,
had been so shamefully violated by the operative
association, he must consider they were disentitled
to any indulgence, and he should, therefore, decline
to accede to the application for postponement.
Mr. Edward Lewis then took several objections,
the principal of which related to the form of the
summons, which, he said, charged three statutable
offences, and ought, therefore, not to have been in-
cluded in one summons.
Mr. F. 11. Lewis said, in reply, that the sum-
mons contained really but one charge, varied in its
