MARK-LANE.

The wheat trade in the county markets, held on Satur-
day, was firm, and fine samples changed hands, at rather
higher prices. Barley was very dull, and the trade for
other descriptions of spring corn ruled quiet, at rather
drooping quotations. Flour sold slowly, at late rates.

On the continent, the wheat trade is steady, at full
prices. At New York, the business doing in wheat and
flour for export to Europe continues very limited.
The arrivals of English grain, &c., up to our market
last week wero very moderate. Tho imports from abroad
consisted of 10,182 quarters of wheat; 22,217 barley;
29,216 oats; 587 beans; 300 peas; 50 tares; 1,047 linseed;
14,416 rapeseed ; 7,078 maize ; 565 sundry seeds ; and
1,967 sacks of flour.
Fre h up to our market to-day, the arrivals of home-
growd wheat were only moderate, and in but middling
condition. For the best samples, the trde was firm, and
prices advanced ls. per quarter. Inferior qualities of
wheat moved off slowly ; nevertheless, last Monday's cur-
rency was supported.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was, mode-
rate. For most descriptions there was a fair demand, but
in some instances prices were the turn in favour of sellers.
.Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, and the
quotations ruled firm.
The supply of English barley on sale was very mode-
rate, but the market was well supplied with foreign quali-
ties. _ Sales, generally, progressed slowly, at about late
rates.

Malt was in fair demand, and prices ruled firm.
Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm
on rather higher terms.
There was a fair demand for peas at late rate rates.
In flour, about an average business was transacted on
former terms. _ _

The supply of oats on sale was moderately large. Most
qualities were in fair request at fully late rates.

WOOL.

Owing chiefly to the hetWyfall in the value of cotton,
the trade for English wool has ruled quieter, and there has
been a tendency to lower prices. In colonial Woo], by
private contract, sales have progressed slowly, on former
terms. Last week's import was about 10,000 bales.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- I
The fear of pain and dread of ope ation inherent to all
det r very many to whom A.ItTIFICIA L. TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dent st. In a practice founded iu IS3O, and now ex, ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
frceilom from pain, a specialito ert.aining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
p,itent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stump, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion oi loose teeth mull they become firm and usetul in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without tear of
pain or inconvenience. Terse teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, nArural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation tree. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted. _ _

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

MANCHESTER-THURSDAY.

Since our last report the trade has remained firm, and a
steady consumptive business has been passing in most
articles, at fully the currency of the preceding market day.
Our market this morning was well attended. Holders were
firm in demanding an advance of 6d to is per qr. on both
English and foreign wheat, at which the transactions were
limited. Flour must be quoted 6d per sack dearer, but
with a slow sale. Oats advanced ld. per 451 b, and oatmeal
6d per load. Beans were 6d per qr. higher. Indian corn
was firm.

FLORENCE, April 18.

In this day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
M. Scialoja, Minister of Finance, in answer to an
interpellation from M. Torrigiani, declared that the
reports which were being propagated to the pre-
judice of the national credit emanated from the
enemios of Italy, or from native speculators who
were unworthy of their country. The Minister
emphatically denied that there was any intention
on the part of the Government to give a forced cir-
culation to bank notes, and he stated that the July
dividends would be met out of the ordinary re-
venue. He announced the determination of the
Government to prosecute the authors of calumnious
reports, according to the provisions of the Penal
Code.

HORSHAM ELECTION.

The report of the Horsham Election Committee was
brought up by the Chairman ; it was to the effect that
Mr. R. W. Hurst, the sitting member, was duly elected.

POOR RELIEF.
Mr. CHAMBERS asked the President of the Poor-law
Board whether it was his intention, and if so when, to in-

troduce a bill into Parliament founded on the recommen.

dations of the select committees on poor relief, in reference
to the religious rights of inmates of workhouses ; and
further, if such be his intention, to ask that he would give
sufficient notice of the same for boards of guardians,
unions, and parishes to have the opportunity of express-
ing their opinions upon such an important measure.
Mr. VILLIERS said at the close of the last session he
introduced a bill for the amendment of the poor law, and

in it were clauses relating to the subject mentioned by the
hon. and learned gentleman. He intended to reintroduce
the bill this session, and full time would be allowed all

parties to consider its provisions.

CHOLERA.
Sir J. C. JERVOISE asked the Vice-President of the
Committee of Council on Education whether the attention
of the Medical Officer of the Privy Council had been di-
rected to a statement in the newspapers that the Emperor
and Empress of the French had visited the cholera hospi-

talc in Paris, and that M. Gustave Girard had made experi-
ments in demonstration of the non-infectious nature of the
cholera? _ -

--- •
Mr. ,BRUCE said the medical officer of the Privy Cowl

ell, like other persons, had seen an account of the merito-
rious act performed by the illustrious personages referred
to, and also to the daring experiments performed by M.
Girard, who had placed a portion of the perspiration from
the brow of a man who had died from cholera to the tip of
his tongue ; but such an act did not prove conclusively
that cholera was non-infectious. The steps taken by the
French Government by directing strict quarantine against
cholera in the East showed that they were as much alive
to the dangers of cholera as the English Government.

PRUSSIA AND SAXON Y.

Sir H. VERNEY asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether the British Government had gua-
ranteed to Prussia the portion of Saxony united to her
dominions by the treaty of Vienna ; and whether, in case
Prussia should now engage in war, that guarantee would
be upheld ?
Mr. LAYAIiD said it was well known by the 17th
article of the Treaty of Vienna that this country did
guarantee that portion of Saxony to Prussia. In the event
of war it would be the duty of the Government of her Ma-
jesty to consult the co-guarantees, which was to be done if
war occurred. Of course he could not at that moment say
what would be done.
London, England, 1866-04-20

RYE.

In this committee Thomas Brown was closely examined
as to his receiving .£5 for his vote. Ile admitted receiv-
ing the money to vote for Mackinnon, but from conscien-
tous scruples he returned the money and voted, for Mao-
donall, solely because he had promised to do so.
Samuel Leonard, an agricultural labourer and beer shop
person named Medhurst, he had
keeper, said he knew a p
spoken to him about voting for Mackinnon, but he kept
his own counsel. Ile received a blue envelope containing
a five pound note, around which was wrapped a memor-
andum as follows :—" Stick to the blues and more will fol-
low. For grog and tobacco." Blue was Mackinnan's
colour, the others wore red and white.
The inquiry in each of the above committees had not
concluded at the hour of adjournment.

Liverpool Cotton Market —This Day.

Rather better feeling in the market, and prices
in favour of holders. Sales probably 10,000 bales.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Piiris is about 41 per 'Lillie pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.10 per xi sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Li
tie. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2 -ICtbs per cent. dearer in farts than in London.
By adviocs from Hamburg the price of gold is 427 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per .£1 sttrlin_
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at
about 2. 10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London.
The oouree of exchange at New York on London tor bills at
60 days' sight is 1061 to 1(61 per cent. At these rates there
is no profit on the importadon of gold from the United
States.

0 in his opinion, sufficient recreation
was applied from 1860 to 1865, when he returned
stateed
to England. w being a gymnasium, cricket-ground,
for the troops, there
d there were also bagatelle boards, draughts, and chess.
and many other places for their exorcise in Hong Kong ;
an
orkshops would have been a great boon to them, and
the principal things required there. The soldiers did
❑woata ofha ve much drill in the hot weather, and what they vas
oleo of very short duration. The health of prisoners was
better than that of the soldiers, the prisoners hardly over
suffering from fever. Ile attributed this to the fact that
the prisoners were housed, well taken care of, and looked
after, while the soldiers were out in the heat, hardly ever
sleeping on a bed. All the water-closets in Hong Kong
were fearfully offensive, many of them not being used,
while the drains, if such they could be called, were horrible
in the extreme. The number of troops who died from
fever decreased wonderfully in ono year, through the
administration of quinine wine to them. Subsequently
the Government refused to send any more for their use,
but he could not tell for what reason. The cost of the
quinine wine was very small, being at the rate of one half-
penny per dose, each dose being half a wine glassful. He
considered the barracks in which the troops were at that
time stationed totally unfit for the purpose and badly situ-
ated, being built in a ravine or hollow. The best place for
the barracks would be on the hill where the cathedral
stands, which is kept cool by the constant breeze. The
witness then exhibited some interesting photographs,
showing the localities, &c., in which the troops were eta
tinned, and shortly after the committee adjourned.
