JOURNALS.

HULL.-TUESDAY.

of a scheme of extension, in order to strengthen
their position when they should come to ask for
support to a scheme of redistribution. Besides this,
as there are evident reasons for the distaste with
which a new Parliament would view a measure in-
volving a great risk and expense to many of its
members, and as abstract principles cannot be re-
lied upon alone to decide any question, it was pro-
bably thought wise to introduce the least difficult
part of the question first. But, unhappily fol. the
calculation of Ministers, their hand has been forced
by Lord Grosvenor's admirably framed resolution,
and they now find themselves, against their inclina-
tion and decision, obliged to adopt the more honest
course of presenting the whole measure before any
separate part of it is finally adopted. The proposed
Reform Bill has been settled with so much unne-
cessary precipitation that it is not matter for sur-
prise that no definite scheme of redistribution has
yet been adopted ; but the nature of the measure
already introduced, and of the objections which
have been urged against it by the more reflecting
and intelligent section, even of the Liberals, induces
a hope that more care and circumspection will be
bestowed upon the complementary measure now
under consideration. The returns upon which it
will be founded have not, it is believed, been long
in the possession of the Government ; but such as
they are, they show, it is understood, reasons for
the second bill such as are in vain sought in the re-
turns which are relied upon to support the first.
Boroughs with less than 200 electors are found to
be represented in Parliament by a member whose
power in the State is equal to the elect of 10,000
or 20,000 voters. Such a state of things calls for a
remedy, apart from any consideration as to the
class from which the electors should be taken ; and
if the present bill should pass the ordeal of the
second reading by the help of the screw that is
being unsparingly applied in every sort of way,
its ultimate fate will depend in a great measure
upon the manner in which the remaining part of
the question is dealt with. The grouping of adja-
cent boroughs has already been found to answer
well, and it has the advantage of removing any un-
due influence more difficult of application. The gift
of a member, for instance, to every borough pos-
sessing a population of not less than ten thousand,
and the disfranchisement of such boroughs as could
not be conveniently grouped, or as have shown
themselves particularly liable to improper influence,
might be provided for ; and such a measure, if the
Government has courage and singleness of purpose
sufficient to propose it, will do much more to show
its desire for real reform than the measure of clap-
trap by which its desire is at present represented.
The present bill has found favour solely among
the section of politicians whose aim and object is
to invest our institutions with ES democratic a cha-
racter as possible ; but if a fair and proper bill for
the redistribution of cleats can be introduced, it will
obtain a very different kind of support. As the
two measures are so bound up together, and as
there is a desire to settle the question one way or
the other once for all, it is not improbable, if the
present bill passes the second reading, that it may
be necessary for Parliament to meet for an autumn
session in order to settle the complementary mea-
sure and the fate of the Government ; but that will
be a cheap price to pay if the disturbing and dis-
,
organising influence of the Reform question can be
hereby finally and satisfactorily determined.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

Since our last the wheat trade in this neighbourhood has
been somewhat dull. In English, although farmers have
made a concession of about 1s per qr., very little business
has been done, while the owners of foreign do not care to
press sales at present prices. Barley was in large supply,
and rather lower for malting purposes ; in grinding no
change. Oats in fair request, at full prices. Beans and
peas without change.
English old white wheat, 48s to 52s ; old red, 42s to 465.
Barley, English, 37s to 425. Oats, Russian, 24s to 255.
Beans, new English, 43s to 445. Peas, English blue, 40s
to 41s Od; grinding, 40s to 41s Od per 36 stone.

SALISBURY.—TUESDAY.
Wheat in moderate supply this morning, and business
generally ruled slow. Barley about the same rates as last
week. Beans, peas, and oats made quite as much money
as before. Flour in limited demand, at 345, 365, and 388
per sack.
The following are the quotations :—Wheat realised from
38s to 52s ; barley, 35s to 44s ; oats, 22s to 32s ; beans, 40s
to 52s ; and peas, Us to 50s per qr. Tares, from Gs to 70
6d per bushel ; Best bread, 13d ; household ditto, 12d.
per 81b loaf. Flour, 34s to 38s per sack.

MONMOUTHSHIRE—TUESDAY.
A moderate supply of grain, for which trade ruled very
inactive. Grinding and malting barley in good demand,
and prices were fully maintained. There was a good in-
quiry for beans, and prices had an upward tendency. The
oat trade was more active, with prices firm ; in some in-
stances superior samples realised more money.
The following are the average quotations: —Wheat, red,
5s Od to 5s 6d per bushel ; inferior ditto, 4s 9d to ss. 3d ;
white, 5s 9d to 6s ; malting barley, 36s to 43s per qr ; grind-
ing ditto, 27s to 325; beans, 44s ; white oats, 24s 6d to 265;
black ditto, 23s 6d to 24s 6d.

LYNN—TUESDAY.
A small attendance to-day, and but a moderate show of
wheat ; the trade was firm, at last week's rates. The few
samples of barley found buyers at late rates, while grind-
ing samples were fully as dear. Beans and oats firm.
New wheat, 46s to 48s ; new red, 42s to 445; old white,
51s to 52s ; old red, 46s to 48s per 36 stone. Barley for
malting, 37s to 40s ; secondary, 33s to 355. Oats, new,
24s to 26s per 21 stone. Beans, small, 43s to 465. Peas,
36s to 40s per 28 stone.

NEWCASTLE—TUESDAY.
At to-day's market there was a moderate supply of wheat
from the growers, but a fair quantity both coastwise and
from abroad. Fine new foreign met rather a better de-
mand at the rates of last week. English moved off slowly
at previous rates. Malting barley was unchanged. Grind-
ing barley was lower, owing to a large Danish arrival.
Malt and beans as before. Peas were 6d lower. Oats were
firm, with a better arrival. Flour was dull, at late value.
The average price of British grain for the week has been--
wheat, 47s 9d; barley, 36s 10d; oats, 27s Od per qr.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—That the fearful annual mortality of
6 0 young children and delicate persons of all ages may be
arrested, if, instead of flying blindly to pills and medicines,
which, though apparently relieving the patient, have in
reality no other tendency than that of increasing debility,
and with it the dangor of life, we were simply to study hoW
to inc: ease the vital force by imparting new and pure blood,
upon which the harmonious development of the whole frame
depends, has been successfully proved by Du Barry's inva-
lids' and Infants' Food, the Revalenta Arabica, and its
thousands of cures annually. It yields three times as mu:111
easily assimilated nourishment as the best meat, tnd for
children it is the best substitute for human milk. Dr.
Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and
Children—the best authority on ouch matters —in his admir-
able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub-
stances, t which comes closest t,) milk in its composition
is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, con-
: aining both phosphoric acid in abundance and chloride of
potassium ; it also includes casein, the same principle which
is found in milk in its constituent parts. No wonder, there-
fore, that under its influence many children affected with
atrophy (wasting away of the body), and market debt ity,
have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest
advantage in such cases ; and iss, far as I may judge from nil
own experience, practice fully carries out what theory,
• from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate.--
