THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

HAY MARKETS.

SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £2 lOs to £4 4s ; clover,
£4 Os to £5 5s ; and straw, 4s to £1 8s per load.
A slow trade, at barely late rates. Supplies large.
CUMBERLAND.—Meadow hay, £2 lOs to £4 lOs ; clover,
£4 Os to £5 58 ; and straw, £1 6s to £1 10s per lead.
A heavy demand.
WMITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, £2 lOs to £4 4s ; cbvei,
£4 5s to £5 5s ; and straw, £1 43 to £1 8s per load.
Trade dull. Supplies large.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The advices by the Overland Mail caused some
excitement in the market, and prices have shown an ad-
vance of Id. per lb. on most qualities. •
SUGAR.—The market is not very active ; prices, how-
ever, are fairly maintained. In refined goods a moderate
business has been done, but on easier terms.
COFFEE.—A rather large quantity is announced for
public sale during the week, which has caused less activity
in the private market, but prices are unchanged.
RICE.—A fair amount of business has been transacted in
the better qualities at late quotations.
FRUlT.—Advices have been received from the lonian
Islands which confirm the reports of the damage done to
the crops of currants. The market has been a shade firmer,
and prices are fully supported.
SALTPETRE.—The market has shown more firmness, and
higher rates are demanded for Bengal qualities.
TALLow.—Less firmness has been apparent in this mar-
ket, but a fair amount of business has been done for home
consumption. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 575. 3d. to
575. 6d., and last three months 575. 9d. to 58s. per cwt.
GREEN FRUlT.—Messrs. Houghton and Levy, of Liver-
pool, state : Currants—The first cargo of new fruit ar-
rived on the sth instant, per steamer Despatch, bringing
about 250 tons, chiefly Patras fruit. The quality is satis-
factory, and, being secured before the rains, is perfectly
sound. The Express arrived in London a day sooner with
160 tons Vostizza, the quality of which is One, and evi-
dently, this year, superior to any other growth. The price
opened k London at 625. to 635. for Vostizza, and 565. for
Patras. Part of the Despatch's cargo has been sold here
at the latter rate. The altered circumstances from the
expectation of a good crop and low prices has evidently
retarded the trade from operating as freely as they otherwise
would have done • still, with the large amount of damage
which has been done to the crop by the late heavy rains,
which continued up to the last advices, the opening price
cannot be considered a high one : really sound fruit will be
limited, and lower prices cannot be anticipated for good
quality. Further arrivals are expected in a few days, and
as we are almost without stock of old, and with an un-
paralleled consumption, we have no doubt it will meet with
a good demand. On receipt of the continued bad ad vices,
our market has shown considerable animation for old fruit,
and prices have gradually advanced, and may now be
quoted fully 5s per cwt. higher. The total clearances for
August reached 800 tons, against an average of 330 tons the
same month during the last three years. Raisins—Two
steamers arrived with Valencia raisins, bringing about 500
tons. The quality is sound, but the fruit small. The price
opened at 50s, but dealers having imports of their own, there
has only been a limited business done on the market, and in
some instances sales have been made at 48s. Sultanas—The
Agia Sofia brought about 30 tons new fruit, but the bulk
has been forwarded to London. Some parcels of fine have
been sold here at 70s. Muscatelles—The trade have had
some small supplies, but further arrivals are shortly ex-
pected, and prices abroad being moderate, a large business
has been done to arrive. Figs—About 30 tons of new
Turkey have arrived, and the quality, for so early in the
season, is fair, and the sales have been made at 54s to 70s.
Almonds.—Jordan move slowly at £5 5s to £6 lOs ; some
parcels of soft shell have been sold at moderate rates. Nuts.
—Barcelona in fair demand at 37s 6d, and sales continue
to be made at 31s; f.o.b. Turkey have been neglected, but
price firm at 245. The crop of Black Spanish is reported
to be very short, and with moderate prices; for other de-
scriptions a large demand may be looked for. Onions.—
The arrivals have been large. Oporto brings 9s to 108.—
Apples in small supply, and rather better prices obtained.

LONDON

SCOTTISH VOLUNTEER

RIFLE CORPS.

A meeting of the London Scottish Volunteer Rifle
!orps was held last night in the Scottish Corpora-
ion Hall, Crane court, Lord Elch), M.P , in the

chair. •
The CHAIRMAN, in opening theproceedings, said
the first question to decide was that of the par-
ticular form of dress to be adopted. He believed
that several were in favour of the kilt, but the kilt,
though probably more attractive than any other de-
scription of garment, would be found a very incon-
venient dress in skirmishing through woods, briars,
and hedges. In order to meet the views of all par-
ties, he would suggest that if 60 gentlemen could be
found in favour of the kilt, they should form them-
selves into a kilt company.
After a short conversation, the question of the
formation of a kilt company was put to the meeting
and decided in the affirmative. The other details,
with regard to dress, were referred to a commitee.
The CHAIRMAN said the next question to decide
was the locality of the practice-ground. Since the
last meeting the London Rifle Brigade bad been in
communication with the directors of the Crystal
Palace Company, who had offered to place a por-
tion of their grounds near the archery butts at
the disposal of the different London corps for
the purpose of practice. The company sub-
mitted the following proposals :—" First, they
wolld give the use of a space of ground 300
yards in length by 100 feet in breadth, without
charging rent forit ; secondly, they would require
every corps who availed themselves of the ground
to erect the butts and all the necessary require-
ments for rifle practice; thirdly, that each member
of the corps should be charged 6d. for admission to
the practice-ground, or should pay ss. for a season
ticket, which would give him access to all the
grounds of the Palace, except upon extraordinary
occasions ; fourthly, that the corps should have free
and exclusive use of the rifle grounds for such a
period as might be agreed upon ; and fifthly, that
the London Rifle Brigade should have liberty to
make arrangements with other enrolled corps
for the use of the grounds. The company also
stipulated that when the grounds were not re-
quired for practice they should be at liberty,
to use them themselves, and that they
should participate to the extent of 25 per
cent. in any pecuniary arrangements made by the
corps for the use of the grounds by other persons.
With regard to the means of access to the grounds,
the company further stated that they had commu-
nicated with the Brighton Railway Company, who
agreed to take members of the corps to the Palace
and back for a single fare—namely, ls. first-class,
9d. second, and 6d. third. His own opinion was,
that the terms proposed were not only reasonable,
but extremely liberal.
On a show of hands being taken, it was unani-
mously agreed to accept the offer of the Crystal
Palace Company, so far as the Scottish corps was
concerned.

On the motion of Mr. M'Kissocx, Lord Elcho
was appointed commander of the corps.
The CHAIRMAN thanked the meeting for the
honour they had conferred upon him. The ques-
tion of the establishment of volunteer corps was
one upon which he felt most strongly. He thought
it was a disgrace to the country to be in a state of
periodical panic, and unable to say whether, if we
were attacked, we should be able to defend our
homes. At present he was upon the council of three
separate cr.rps,- and he intended to employ all his
energies in forwarding the movement. He had no
other object in view in so doing than giving the
people an opportunity of placing themselves
in such a state of defence as would render any
invasion so perilous that few would ever be
induced to attempt it. As it was the wish of
the meeting that he should take upon himself
the responsible position of commander of the corps,
he could assure them that his best endeavours would
be directed towards securing the efficiency of the
corps, and of promoting such an esprit de corps
among them as would render them a credit to Scot-
land, as well as a very powerful Scotch club and
national society in London. He thought that great
good would arise from thus bringing Scotchmen
together in London ; and he trusted that every
member of the corps would take upon himself the
office of recruiting sergeant in inducing his friends
to join. He wished, however, to remind that if
they him to become a real bona fide colonel, it was
necessary that they should raise at least eight com-
panies of 60 men.
Mr. G. Mackenzie was then appointed Captain
of the Highland Company; and some formal resolu-
tions having been adopted, the proceedings ter-
minated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman.
