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.

MANC HE S T ER—TuunspAy.

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.

RYE.

In this committee Thomas Brown was closely examined
as to his receiving £5 for his vote. Ho admitted receiv-
ing the money to vote for Mackinnan, but from conscien-
tous scruples he returned the money and voted, for Mac-
donall, solely because he had promised to do so.
Samuel Leonard, an agricultural labourer and beer shop
keeper, said he know a person named Medhurst, he had
spoken to him about voting for Mackinnan, but he kept
his own counsel. He 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 tho above committees had not
concluded at the hour of adjournment.

The Mortality of Troops in China

The committee appointed by the House of Commons to
inquire into the above subject, which caused so much dis-
satisfaction in this country, sat yesterday, and was com-
posed of the following members :—Mr. Adderley, Major
Anson. Mr. Baxter, Mr. Calthorpe, Lord Frederick Caven-
dish, Mr. Dalglish, the Marquis of Hartington, Lord John
Hay, Colonel P. Herbert, Lord Hotham, Colonel North,
Major O'Reilly, Lord H. Percy, Mr. Roebuck, and Mr.
Trevelyan.
Dr. Snell was called by the committee and examined at
some length. Ile stated that the smells from the sewers
and drains were roost obnoxious and offensive, and no
remedy was applied from 1860 to 1865, when he returned
to England. There was, in his opinion, sufficient recreation
for the troops, there being a gymnasium, cricket-ground,
and many other places for their exorcise in Hong Kong ;
and there were also bagatelle boards, draughts, and chess.
Workshops would have boon a great boon to them, and
was of the principal things required there. The soldiers did
not have much drill ia the hot weather, and what they did
ono of very short duration. The health of prisoners was
better than that of the soldiers, the prisoners hardly ever
suffering from fever. lie 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 wins 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. 110
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

The prisoner, it was stated was in the prosecutors' em-

time to time a quantity of straw hats and bonnets, which
he disposed of considerably below the cost price. The
case rested chiefly upon the evidence of witness named

AUSTRIAN FINANCE.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
VIENNA, June 9.
The Emperor has addressed the following auto-
graph letter to Prince Colloredo Mansfeld, Presi-
dent of the Commission for the Control of the
Public Debt :
" Dear Prince—l see with satisfaction from the
report of the 11th ult., laid before me by the Com-
mission for the Control of the Public Debt in 1865,
that the Commission has zealously and conscien-
tiously fulfilled the duties with which it was
charged by the decree of October 27, and that it
has occupied itself in superintending and carefully
examining all the branches of the administration of
the debt.

" It is with no less satisfaction that I perceive
from the_ statements of the Commission that the
entire service of the debt proceeds with perfect re-
gularity and order in all respects, and hat the
finance administration has punctually observed all
the legal obligations, and has properly met all
engagements encontracted with the creditors of the
State.

" The Commission has believed it its duty to de-
part from the attributes legally assigned to it, in
order to enter into political considerations of a gene-
ral nature, and into a discussion upon the character
of the measures taken by my Finance Minister in
virtue of my patent of Sept. 20, 1865, and sanc-
tioned by the laws of Nov. 23, 1865, and April 24
and May 5, 1866. Ido not wish to to misconstrue
the patriotic intention which in this has cer-
tainly guided the members of the Commission. I
have solemnly recognised the rights of the people
to take part in a decisive manner, through
their legs, Irepresentatives, in the laws to be passed
and the administration of the finances. The rea-
lisation of this principle is an object I pursue
seriously and continually, and nothing can afford
greater satisfaction to my mind than when the sen-
timent of unity and patriotic co-operation—a sen-
timent so powerfully felt by all the peoples of my
empire at a time when we are threatened by the
danger of war--which constitutes the strength of
Austria and procures us respect ; when this senti-
ment, I repeat, shall be able also to exercise a deter-

not press sales, and quotations generally aro steady.

The Late Mr. De La nue.

This day will be consigned to the grave the mortal
remains of the late Mr. Thomas De La Rue, Knight
of the Legion of Honour, who died at his residence,
84, Westbourne-terrace, on the 7th inst., in his 74th
year. Mr. Thomas De La Rue is well known as the
founder of the house which bears his name, and
from which he retired about eight years ago, after a
long career of unceasing activity. It may be truly
said that no man has done more to promote the arts
connected with his pursuits than the subject of this
notice, who had a remarkable faculty of rendering
discoveries in science available for the purposes of
manufacture. lie began his career as a printer, and
subsequently he made use of his special knowledge
of printing in his improvements in the manufacture
of playing cards. About 40 years ago he published
the New Testament printed in gold (now a very
scarce work), and on the occasion of her Majesty's
coronation, June 28, 1888, The Sun newspaper was,
at his suggestion and with his aid, on the occasion
printed in gold. Among the various patents he
took out for a variety of processes may be cited, as
an example of the philosophical bent of his mind,
the fixing of the irridescent colours of thin film.
Until he brought under notice the valuable proper-

ties of glycerine, now so extensively used in medi-
cine and the arts, it remained a neglected and
waste product. Mr. Thos. De La Rue was deputy-
chairman and joint reporter of class xvii. in the
Exhibition of 1851, and it is understood that the
report on the Exhibition of that class is mainly from
his pen. In the Universal Exhibition of Paris, in
1855, he was also a juror, and in addition to the
grand gold medal of honour he received the distinc-
tion of Knight of the Legion of Honour. He was
well known as a collector of articles of vertu, and
the possessor of some of the most rare specimens of
Wedgwood ware, and it appears that he was one of
the first who stimulated the collection of this beauti-

ful but long neglected ware by his early apprecia-
tion of its intrinsic and artistic merits.

THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.—Dr. and Mrs. Beke
aro now in London, and Consul Cameron, the Rev. Mr
Stern, and the other captives may be expected to arrive in
England before long. Her Majesty's ship Victoria, it is
stated, has been ordered to return to Massowah for them
by the 10th inst., and convey them thence to Aden. Should
they reach the coast at Sawakin, the Victoria is to proceed
to that port, and bring them direct to Suez.

found the fire still smouldering, and as,
mediately under a shaft the draughts of air which it
supplied ever and anon fanned the dying embers
into a flame. Then was brought into play the
Marquis of Salisbury's powerful fire-engine from
Hatfield, worked by 14 sturdy navvies at a time, and
supplied with water from tenders brought to the
spot by cautiously-guided engines, whistling and
screeching as they approached the scene of the ca-
lamity. These were dragged up by other engines
and two powerful 10 or I'2 ton cranes—one at either
end. To them, by chains and tackling, were made
fast such heavy gear as men without machinery
would be powerless to move, and then the ponderous
mass was slowly dragged out of the tunnel. In this
way, after hours of well-directed labour, the line
was at length cleared ; the engines and tenders were
set upon their wheels once more ; the remains
of the hundred trucks, of which, however, sonic 18
or 20 had fallen victims to the flames, were safely
got out ; the remnants of springs, of bolts, of nuts;
of twisted rails, of telegraph wire, of wheels, and
screws and crowbars, and coke and coal, and baked
wheat and flour were all by degrees removed, and
such a collection perhaps it never fell to the lot of
man to behold before. A shipbreaker's yard is not
a tidy sight, nor is a marine store dealer's usually a
model of neatness, but if all the marine store dealers
and all the shipbreakers in London had huddled
together the contents of their stores they would
scarcely have presented a more motley heap than
that deposited this evening within a few yards of the
Welwyn station.

Pending the clearing of the line the stopping
trains were forwarded by Hertford, Cambridge,
Royston, and Hitchin ; and the express trains by
Hertford, Cambridge, March, and Peterborough.
By 9 o'clock this evening the line was pronounced
fit for_the_ passage of goods trains ; but Mr. John-
son intended to make a minute inspection of the
tunnel before permitting passenger trains to traverse
it. The sides and roofing of the tunnel are com-
posed of five rings of brickwork, and as the injury

his exertions by Mr. Cochobott, the superintendent

General Manteuffel

" Gottorp, June 7.
" Inhabitants of the Duchy of Schleswig,--
"Since my assumption of office here I have always
acted towards you with frankness. Never, have I
had any reason to repent of that course, and I now
address myself to you again with the same frank-
ness. The rights of sovereignty- which his Majesty
my King and master has over the Duchy of Holstein
have been endangered by proceedings with which
you are all acquainted. The most sacred interests
of your country are placed in jeopardy, for never
has the Estates of either of the Duchies been called
together except in view of an assembly of the gene-
ral representation of an undivided Schleswig-Hol-
stein. lam charged by his Majesty the King with
the protection of those menaced rights, and for that
reason I hare to-day ordered the entry of troops
into Holstein, as I have announced to the Imperial
Governor of the Duchy of Holstein, that this military
measure has only a purely defensive character.
" Inhabitants of the Duchy of Sc Ileswig,—l have
learnt to know and to esteem the spirit of order and
legality with which you are animated, and I now
give you a proof of this esteem. At this moment
Schleswig is being almost denuded of troops. You
will prove that the attitude which you have hitherto
maintained has not been induced by fear, but by the
loyalty of your character. But yon, too, in your
turn have learnt to know me, and you know that I
am faithfully and hearty devoted to the interests
of this country. You wiil with confidence accept
my word. No doubt of the power or the will of
Prussia could find root in your minds. Let us have
faith in each other.

" The Governor of the Duchy of Schleswig,
" E. MANTEUFFEL, Lieutenant-General,
Aide-de-Camp to his Majesty the
King of Prussia."
