STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 12.—For shipping yarns the
market, speaking of it generally, has been rather
disappointing, yet there have been some fair orders
given out, chiefly for 40's, extending into March
for completion. The prices obtained have reached
the extreme quotations of the week. The market
is scarcely so good in tone as it was yesterday, but
the difference is barely perceptible, and for all kinds
of shipping yarns it closes very strong. Spinners
show great confidence in the position of the market,
and buyers are more disposed to operate than they
were a few days ago. There has been a more cheer-
ful feeling in the market for home trade yarns than
on Tuesday, and a moderate business has been done
at Tuesday's rates. In cloth the market had re-
mained dull since Tuesday, but there has been a
more cheerful feeling to-day, with a more general
inquiry. Merchants who buy for India and China
are obtaining quotations, and seem to have large
orders to place. They also appear disposed to
operate, but for the uncertainty which hangs over
the immediate future of the money market. This
acts as a deterrent, and causes some of them to post-
pone putting out their contracts for the present.
Prices are exceedingly firm to-day, and in some
cases there seems to be a tendency even to raise
quotations. The actual business of the day has
been small. The disposition to advance quota-
tions is due to the advices last to hand from New
York,which give higher quotations for cotton (53e.),
and the better feeling in the market generally Ls no
doubt chiefly owing to these advices.

A Cow CHOKED.—A cow, the property of Mr.
Edward Couldwell, publican, Deepc,ar, was choked whilst
eating from a lot of turnips, on Tuesday. The animal
writhed in agony for some time whilst endeavouring to
relieve itself of the incumbrance, and then suddenly fell.
The cow at once began to swell, and continued to expand
until it reached an enormous bulk. A butcher's services
were called into immediate requisition, and the cow was
bled to death.
[ADTERTISEMENT.i—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.
Cold Weather.—The sudden severity of the weather has
sadly disturbed the general health. Affections of the
throat and chest are now found in every household, and
the quickest means of cure aro Holloway's renowned re-
medies. They prevent congestion, inflammation, bron-
chitis, ulceration, hoarseness, and cough. This soothing
ointment only requires to be .well rubbed twice a day on
the affected parts to effect an immediate and marked im-
provement in all the symptoms of disease. Both ointment
and pills are devoid of danger. Both aro compounds of
the finest balsams, allied by nature and accurately com-
bined by art They =duct to restoration, and cure with
Unfailing certainty.

SOUTHWARK BRIDGE.

Mr. R. TAYLOR, chairman of the Bridge-house Estates
Committee, presented a report from that body for sealing
an agreement for the purchase of Southwark-bridgo for
the sum of £200,000, to be raised on the credit of the
Bridge-house estates, and for continuing the bridge open
to. the public in the meantime free- of toll, upon the Cor-
poration paying to the company the sum of £5;500 a year.
The CONTROLLER (Ifr. Brand) stated, in reply to D3puty
Burnell, that the arrangement was contingent on the sanc-
tion of Parliament ; that the purchase-money would, under
an Act of Parliament, be raised on the Bridge-house estates,
and that in the event of Parliament not sanctioning ity the
agreement would bo entirely void.

The agreement was then formally sealed, and now only
awaits the approval of Parliament, an application to which
will be made in the forthcoming session, at the cost of the
Corporation.

that every child should receive a minimum amount
of instruction to enable it to support itself after-
wards, and be a guarantee that it should not fall
upon the parish and become a burden to society
at large. He did not stand up as an advocate of
compulsory education, but he thought that if the
principle was to be rejected it should be rejected on
deliberate conviction, and not on a general vague,
traditional notion that it was unsuited to the habits
of the country. Compulsory education need only
be a system which required that every child should
receive a minimum amount of instruction, and treat
the neglect of a child as a breach of the la w. There
might be a choice of schools; denominational insti-
tutions might exist wherever they could, and educa-
tion might be vivified by voluntary effort, but let
there be some machinery that should reach those
who could not otherwise be got at, and which volun-
tary effort was unable to perform ; that was the
kind of compulsory education which he thought
might do. To make education compulsory upon
parents would only be a natural consequence upon
the law which made the maintenance of children
compulsory on the community. He did not think
that compulsory education would dispense entirely
with voluntary effort, or deprive schools of the in-
terest that voluntary effort awakened in them. Only
a portion of the school children need fall upon the
rate, and for the others there still might be the
assistance of the State, voluntary contributions, and
school pence. He liked a menzoria technica for
figures, and his memoria technica for education
would be that the most judicious course was to ex-
pend what would not exceed half of that which was
so deplorably costly under our poor-laws. (Ap-
plause.) Other gentlemen addressed the meeting,
whieh was brought to a close at a late hour.

The debate on the flotation Bill WU resumed in
the Climber of Deputies yesterday, and an animated
discussion on its merits took place. The motion of
Herr HAERBECK was rejected ; which is to be re-
gretted, for it really was a good one in its way, and
proposed to limit the names on the fund, but the
proposition of the committee on the bill was even-
tually adopted by 219 against 80 votes. General
STAVENHOGEN, in his speech, said—" May the act
which the Chamber is about to perform in recog-
nition of the services of our brave army redound to
the honour and prosperity of the Fatherland."

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN.

observed a paragraph in The Sun of yesterday
stating that I am the purchaser of Holmesdale, at a cost of
.£19,500, and timber at a valuation. The purchase-money
stated is far in excess of the real amount, and the Holmes-
dale property includes Cormonger's Farm.
It is further stated that lam the purchaser of two farms
at £12,600. These I did not buy at all.
As you have thought proper, when introducing my name,
to mention that I ran the actuary of an assurance company,
and as this has led to the inference that the company had
something to do with the purchase,
I beg leave to inform
you that the portions of the property I purchased were
bought by me exclusively on my private account, and in
every way independently of the company.
Requesting your insertion of this letter, I have the hon-
our to be, Sir, your very obedient servant,

SOUTHWARK BRIDGE.

Mr. R. TAYLOR, chairman of the Bridge-house Estates
Committee, presented a repert from that body for settling
an agreement for the purchase of Southwark-bridge for
the sum of £200,000, to be raised on the credit of the
Bridge-house estates, and for continuing the bridge open
to the public in the meantime free of toll, upon the Cor-
poration paying to the company the sum of £5,500 a year.
The CONTROLLER (Mr. Brand) ststed, in reply to Deputy
Burnell, that the arrangement was contingent on the &Inc-
tion of Parliament ; that the purchase-money would, under
an Act of Parliament, be raised on the Bridge-house estates,
and that in the event of Parliament not sanctioning it, the
agreement would be entirely void.
The agreement wars then formally sealed, and now only
awaits the approval of Parliament, an application to which
will be made in the forthcoming session, at the cost of the
Corporation.

THE CITY AND THE METROPOLITAN BOARD.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR called the marked attention of the
Court to the enormous increase during the last ten years
in the aggregate amount to which the City of London had
been called to contribute to the Metropolitan Board. In
1865-6, he said, the city contributed to the Main Drainage
Rate £17,638, and to the ordinary expenses of the Board
£13,680, making together £31,318. For the year 1866-7 it
had had to pay, or world have. to pay, in respect of the
Main Drainage Rate, £26,374, and of the ordinary expenses
of the Board about £26,000, or together £52,374. (Cries
of " Shame.") He added that the attention of the Secre-
tary of State had been called to the inequality of rating
between the city and the county. That inequality was due
in great measure to the power of re-assessment, which in
the city had been exercised from year to year, but in the
county only about once in four or five years.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

NEITHER PARENTS NOR HOME.-James Ebbrey, 13,
was charged before Mr. Knox with being found destitute
(he being an orphan) in Oxford-street.

Police-constable John Carman, 330 A, said that about
two o'clock that morning he saw the boy walking up and
down Oxford-street, and on asking him what he was doing
out at that hour he said that his father and mother were
both dead, and that he had no home.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said that the boy
had been seen about Oxford-street two or three nights by'
the constable.

Mr. Knox asked the boywhether what the constable had
stated was true.

The boy said it was. Ho had neitherparents nor friends.
Mr. Knox said the best thing he could do would be to
send him to Feltham for three years.
Henry Martin, another boy, was charged with begging.
Sergeant Bunco, 5 C, saw the boy standing at the door
of a confectioner's shop in Coventry-street yesterday
evening, having two or three boxes of fusses in his hand,
and begging of every person who went in or came out of
the shop. He took the boy into custody, and from in-
quiries he made respecting the boy, ascertained that his
mother had been dead some years, and that his father was
about 72 years of age and very infirm. The boy had been
in the workhouse twd or three times with his father, but
had escaped from them by means of the windows; he had
also behaved in rather a bad manner towards'some of the
workhouse officials, and was in the habit of sleeping on
the door-steps when he could not get enough to pay for a
lodging.

, Mr. Knox said he would send the boy to Feltham as it
would be the saving of him.
The boy thanked the magistrate for sending him to
school. The boy was sent to Feltham for three years.

mare, three smart canters ; and Peter Price galloped Re-
galia a mile and three-quarters, Chepstow a mile and a
half, and Stradbroke about a mile, Barrington and the rest
cantering. Mat Dawson set Julius, Avron, and Boinbastes
to gallop a mile steadily, and they went uncommonly
strong and free, the Flying Scud, Archimage, and Pericles
also acquitting themselves well. From Gilbert's we
had D'Estournel and Ravioli, and the first-mentioned
galloped so beautifully that it is a great pity he is not in
the Two Thousand, for he looks as if he was quite goo
enough to be dangerous to the cracks therein. The Hermit
showed early, and went a mile and a quarter with Knight
of the Garter, Blinkhoolie, and Pedagogue; Thornby, Ring
Charles, and Tempest being this morning restricted to gentle
canters. The Dragon galloped about a mile first rate, as
didEnchanteur and Imperator; Trocadero,Longchamp, and
Cerf Volanto trotting. The Rake had several brisk cautery,
but did not gallop. Van Atuburgh, however, galloped a
mile and a quarter, Friponnier leading him. Cecrops and
Friday took Guy of Warwick, Numa Pompilius, Londes-
borough, Ettrick, and Cyclone briskly. Hippie had a nice
mile and a quarter gallop with Janus, and Jasper followed
Falkenstein a similar distance, also quietly. Amongst the
other animals out we noticed Gladiateur, Vespasian,

A VACANT OFFICER.

In the course of the sitting the Court was asked to make
a temporary arrangement with respect to the office of Clork
of the Chamber at Guildhall, which had become vacant by
the death of Mr. John Sewell. It appeared that Mr. Sewell
died suddenly on Sunday last, and that the Lord Mayor,
after communicating with the Chamberlain, and in order
that the business of the office might not be suspended, had
appointed the Sword-bearer (a brother of the deceased) to
perform the duties for the few days intervening before the
meeting of the Common Council and no longer. 17:ester-
day Mr. 11. Lowman Taylor protested against the i
bearer being appointed, and he urged the Court to
take
care that there. Was no jobbery

The LORD AYon said it was no job, and that no man
on earth would shrink from a job more than ha would. A
memorandum, he said, was placed Mora him by the S word--
bmrer appointing the latter until the Court met, and 110
signed it, but that was simply to extend up to that Any,
and he (the Lord Mayor) had no wish to interfore in tLo
permanent appointment.
The Court appeared perfectly satisfied with that explana-
tion, and, on the motion of Alderman GIBBONS, who said
the duties of the office were not onerous, appointed the
assistant-clerk to discharge them until an appointment was
made.

The Court, after transacting some other bus4ntis bf little
public interest, adjourned.

all ages will be fully sustained in the following NEW
STYLES for the present season. The materials as well
as the workmanship are of fine and durable quality, and
the moderate profit at which the Garments are sold must
operate as a further inducement to all classes of pur-
chasers.

THE CITY AND THE METROPOLITAN BOARD.
_ _ __

Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR called the marked attention of the
Court to the enormous increase during the last ten years
in the aggregate amount to which the City of London had
been called to contribute to the Metropolitan Board. In
1865-6, ho said, the city contributed to the Main Drainage
Rate £17,638, and to the ordinary expenses of the Board
£13,680, making together £31,318. For the year 1866-7 it
had had to pay, or world have to pay, in respect of the
Main Drainage Rate, £26,374, and of the ordinary expenses
of the Board about £26,000, or together £52,374. (Cries
of " Shame.") He added that the attention of the Secre-
tary of State had been called to the inequality of rating
between the city and the county. That inequality was due
in great measure to the power of re-assessment, which in
the city had been exercised from year to year, but in the
county only abut once in four or five years.
