WOOL.

The amount of business doing in wool is very moderate.
The market, however, is decidedly firm, yet no improve-
ment can be noticed in prices. Last week's imports were
1,623 bales from Hobart Town, and 2,100 bales from New
Zealand. _

THE GOVERNMENT AND TIIE BIRMINGHAM GUN
TRADE.—It is already known that some time ago orders
were given to convert 20,000 Enfield rifles into breech
loaders, on the Snider principle, and before Lord Harting-
ton quitted office this number was increased to 40,000, the
Government factory at Enfield undertaking to do the whole
of the work. General Pool's first act on becoming Secre-
tary for War was to order 60,000 additional rifles to be
"converted," thus bringing up the total number to
100,000. General Peel, however, has gone a step beyond
hif predecessor, and has resolved to employ the private
trade as well as the Government factory. In accordance
with this resolution, General Peel sent for Mr. J. D.
Goodman, the chairman of the Birmingham Small Arms
Company, and the result of the interview was that the full
resources of the Small Arms Factory at Small Heath, were
placed at the disposal of the Government—the company
undertaking to confine itself to the work of converting
Enfolds into breech-loaders. There is little doubt that,
by tho united efforts of the Government factory and the
Birmingham Small Arms Company at least 150,000 breech
loaders of a superior character may be put into the
hands of the army by next spring The reason for
selecting the Small Arms Company for this important
undertaking is, that Enfield and the Birmingham fac-
tory are the only places which possess machinery capable
of making interchangeable arms on a large scale ;
and, by the arrangement just concluded, the English
Government will reap the exclusive benefit of all the ma-
chiney in the country. It should be added that the
order already given is by no means the limit of the work
which will fall to the share of the Birmingham makers, as
it is in contemplation to carry on the improvement of our
armaments until the muzzle loader has entirely disappeared
from the British service. While provision is thus being
made for the immediate necessities of the service, General
Peel is not losing sight of the necessity of obtaining the
best possible arm for ultimate use. It is not, we believe,
intended to make new guns on the Snider principle ; but
merely to convert the Enfields already in store. Before
deciding upon the pattern of a new breech-loader, care will
bo taken to examine all reasonable inventions which may
be submitted to the Government ; and we hear that in a
short time a circular will be issued, inviting the offer of
new breech-loaders for examination, in order that the
Government may have the widest available field for se-
lection.—Birmingham Daily Post.
THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—We
understand that at the scientific meeting of the fellows of
the Royal Horticultural Society to be held on Tuesday
next at three o'clock, M. du Chaillu, the celebrated traveller,

remarks on the Grammatophyllum Ellisii will also be made

YORK--SATURDAY.

There was a rather less show of wheat, and the demand
was somewhat improved, late prices being well supported.
The supply of grinding barley was small, and prices were
stationary. There was a very short supply of oats, the
demand for which was fair, and prices underwent very
little alteration. Beans were also scarce, and must be
quoted firm.

New. white wheat, 54s to 60s ; new red, 50s to 54s per 36
stone. Barley, for malting, 32s to 34s per qr. ; grinding,

LEICESTER-SATURDAY.

The supply of wheat to-day was moderate, and business
was healthy, extreme rates being obtained. Very little
barley shown, and prices wore the same as heretofore. Of
oats the supply was exceedingly small, and holders suc-
ceeded in establishing full rates. Beans were in less sup-
ply, and commanded late prices.

TROOPS IN CHINA.

In reply to Mr. LOCKE,
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the 20th Regi-
ment had received orders to proceed to Japan to relieve
the 9th Regiment, which had been sent to Hong Kong.
The 11th Regiment had been sent out to the Cape.
Colonel NORTH asked whether Colonel Grey had re-
ceived orders as to the employment of native watchmen
or police to lighten the duties of the troops.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said orders had been
given as to the employment of the native police or watch-
men with a view of giving to each soldier six or seven
nights in bed during the week.
TENURE OP LAND (IRELAND.)

In reply to Sir R. PEEL,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said the
clause appeared to him free from ambiguity. If an owner
let his lands, and introduced a clause into the lease that
certain things were not to be done, and those things were
done. he could not claim compensation for them.
Sir H. CAIRNS said—Suppose a landlord laid it down
that the Act of Parliament should not apply to a certain
lease that he might give, would that be considered as a
binding agreement?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said in
his opinion it would not.
MILITIA COMMISSION.
In reply to The O'DONOGIIITE,

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said a great many of
the recommendations had been carried out, but some of the
recommendations still remained unfulfilled. If the hon.
member would state which of those recommendations his
question referred to, he would give him all the informa-
tion at his disposal.

THAMES.

SHAMEFUL PLUNDER OF BRANDY.—John Kerjan, aged
32, of Boddy's-place, Upper Ground-street, Dlackfriars, and
John Robinson, 23, of No. 35, Baxendale-street, Bethnal-
green, lighternaen, were charged with stealing brandy on
the river.

Mr. Beverley, of the Customs Solicitors'-office, said the
prisoners were also charged with an assault upon a Cus-
tom-house officer in the execution of his duty. That charge
would be abandoned, but he should exhibit informations
and ask for summonses against the prisoners for obstruct-
ing a Custom-house officer in the execution of his duty,
for which the punishment was six months' imprisonment.
Edward Smith, a Custom-house officer, was on general
duty outside the East India Dock on the preceding after-
noon, and in charge of a lighter containing 100 casks
of wine on behalf of the Crown. He noticed what was
very suspicions on board—three lighters going down the
river. They were all lashed together, and towed by a
sailing barge. The barges were moored at the entrance
of the East India Dock, and he went on board one of them
called the Robin. The barge smelt very strongly of brandy.
Some had been spilled on deck. The prisoners were on
board and intoxicated. They went down into the cabin
and came up again. He went into the cabin and saw the
lighterman dead drunk. Robinson took from behind a
locker a stone bottle containing a half gallon of strong
brandy 32 degrees over proof, and both prisoners drank
some. They offered it to him. He refused it, and
asked where they obtained it, to which they replied,
from the Elephant and Castle at Newington. Such brandy
was never sold in public houses. Several other lightermen,
in a state of intoxication, came into the cabin, were sup-
plied with brandy, and went up again. He wept on board
a lighter, called the Bell,'the property of Mr. Lucy, a mas-
ter lightermatr. There were 30 casks of-brandy on board.
One of them had been spiked, and a gallon of brandy taken
out. That accounted for the confusion and drunkenness
on board the three lighters. Robinson endeavoured to
break the bottle containing the brandy, and to destroy the
evidence. He had a violent struggle on board the lighter
with Kerjan, and he attempted to throw him overboard.
A sample of the brandy from the plundered cask was pro-
duced. It was precisely similar to the brandy in the bottle.
Edward Hinbest, a Custom-house officer, confirmed the
statement of Smith in every particular, and said that
Kerjan wanted to fight him.

Mr. Joseph. Smith, solicitor, addressed the magistrate
for the prisoners, and after some discussion they were
fined 40s. each for the unlawful possession of the brandy,
and the summonses for obstructing the officer in the exe-
cution of his duty were made out and served upon them.

WESTMINSTER.

THE POOR AND PAROCHIAL REGULATIONS.-401111 Easton,
aged 22, was charged with neglecting to work for his main-
tenance.

Mr. Morley, the master of St. Margaret's Workhouse,
Park-street, Westminster, said that defendant was one of
about 30 idle persons who had been receiving relief from
the parish for years, and were most unwilling to work for
their living. On Wednesday week the defendant was sent
to the stoneyard to work. He could earn Is. 4d. per day,
but he was idle and only earned Bd. After last Monday he
absented himself from the work altogether, but came last
night and solicited relief. He gave him an order and then
handed him over to the police.

Mr. Arnold said he did not very clearly see his way in
the matter. The defendant was not a pauper being main-
tained in the parish at the time of the refusal to work. This
was labour out of doors, not in the workhouse.
The Master admitted that this was so. They unfortu-
nately had no place in either of the workhouses where they
could well set them to work. They found them employ-
ment out of doors, at which, if they fairly laboured, they
would be prevented becoming chargeable to the parish.
A man was bound by law to work to maintain himself, and
to prevent his being chargeable to the parish, and that
was the very complaint here. Had defendant done the
work he might, he world have had:no occasion to come to
the workhouse for relief. The regulations which had been
made in the parish corresponded with those of St. Pancras
and other large parishes, and were framed in accordance
with law.

Mr. Arnold said that the matter had never been brought
before him until now, and he should remand the case to
ascertain the opinions of the Poor-law Board.

Mr. Knox—Why is the other prisoner in custody ?

Prosecutrix—Because she was with Holmes at the time.
I went to the station, and gave information to the police.
Mr. Knox—Had you been drinking ?
Prosecutrix—Yes, a little wine at the Alhambra. I paid
for some gin at Barns's, but gave that away.
Mr. Knox—Gordon (the constable in the case}—ls there
anything more against Holt ?
Gordon—No, sir.

Mr. Knox—Then he is discharged. (To Holmes). The
prosecutrix says you took her watch and chain.

Holmes—l deny it.
Annie Russell (niece to the prosecutrix), said, on Tues-
day night my aunt and myself met the prisoner and her
friend at the Alhambra. We got into conversation and
had something to drink at a public-house, and then went
to Barns's. The prisoner took the watch off my aunt's
neck, saying " There's a lot of thieves visit these houses,'
and she then pretended to put the watch and chain down
my bosom. I thought I had them, but
.found I had not
when my aunt spoke to me about them.

Holmes—l never took the watch and chain ; you know
your aunt was very drunk.
Mr. Knox ordered Holt to be called as a witness.

Holt said—While at the Alhambra Russell came up to
me and said, "My aunt calls me Rats." I replied, "Then
I suppose you call her Mouse." We then got into conver-
sation, and afterwards left, and after going to different
places and having something to drink, went to Barns's, in
the Haymarket. The prosecutrix wanted to have some
supper, and dragged Holmes into a supper place, but the
waiter said it was too Tate. The prosecutrix, who was very
drunk, said, " Where's my watch and chain ?" and Russell
then took off the watch and chain from her aunt's neck and
put them down her own bosom. I went to the Alhambra
next night, when a constable came up and took me into
custody, but I know nothing at all of the watch and chain.
Mr. Knox—l do not believe you do.
Gordon, 3$ took the prisoners into custody—one
last night, the other this morning,
Mr. Knox—Holmes is discharged. As soon as Holmes
left the bar she fell on the floor, having fainted,

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.—
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, 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
freedom from pain, a specialite ertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interterence with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm anti useful in msso-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, sof
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produ_ced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from o to 25 gs.,
warranted.
For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

BUENOS AYRES GREAT SOUTHERN.

It appears from the recent advices that the traffic
on this company's line, which had been partially
suspended to repair damages caused by the floods,
was again in operation over the whole line, and that
the accumulation of goods had been so large at
each end of the line, owing to the impossibility of
finding any other means of conveyance, that the
actual receipts of the railway would experience
little or no loss from the stoppage.
