Cattle
breeder, and Two
feeder of stock. years of unremitting
care and attention have enableditsinventor to take hgh. ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand-
ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled
against it and its probable 'utility, the food, from its admitted
v
Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable
saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it
produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its
influence: and lastly, increases in ,a remarkable degree an
early development of fat.. Mr. Thorley, originating this
singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural
desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap—
plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng-
lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an.
unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed
in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed
and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment
or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has
been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap
addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuckas in
all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted
to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be
realised,
li d and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time
usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes
apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application
of Thorley 's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present
unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene-
ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articles of
food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a
nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly
it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides
possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health
and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic
and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other
food, materially assists their digestive powers—a matter of
great consequence, since it is an undoubted fact that the
nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, conse-
quent upon the impaired or defective action of the digestive
organs ; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial
in restoring to good working di •which have
condition horses
been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are
naturally ofea feeble constitution. In cows its effects are
undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the
yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches
the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still
more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest
superiority over every other kind of compound or manu-
factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has
been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows,
Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle
on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal
prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded.
The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the
clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a
great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward
course; and he may confidently rely, in producing so
highly-favoured a compound, on a continuation of t such
high and distinguished patronage. •

Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
QECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

The oNeet of the NORTHFLEET DOCKS and LONDON
QUAYS COMPANY (Limited), is to provide the I'ort of
London with the following, among other, important ad-

vantages:
DRY DOCKS capable of receiving Ships of the largest mag-
nitude, which at present cannot be accommodated in any
Dock in the Thames.
INCREASED WET DOCK ACCOMMODATION, the want
• of which compels steamers and other vessels, especially
• those of the larger class, to avoid the Port of London.
DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH EXISTING RAIL-
WAYS, thereby securing to Merchants and Shippers the
• direct conveyance of imports and exports to and from
any part of Great Britain without the delay and expense
of cartage, wharfage, and lighterage in transit.
PLANS AND ESTIMATES of the whole undertaking have
been carefully prepared, and have been investigated by a
Committee appointed for that purpose. The Reports of
the Engineers show a sum of £2.000,000 will be sufficient
to carry out the undertaking in its integrity, leaving an
ample margin for the purchase of the properties and the
Engineers have named to the Directors eminent Contrac-
tors, who are willing to take and guarantee the execution
of all the works within the estimates. It is intended,
however, to construct the works at Northfleet by gradual
operations, according to the requirements of Commerce,
and it is not expected that more than X 1,250,000 will be
called up within the first eighteen months ; no call to ex-
ceed £2 10s. per share. ,
IMMEDIATE REVENUE.—An unusual feature in this en-
terprise is that an immediate revenue will accrue to the
Company from the business carried on at the Quays and
Warehouses in London, and the operations of the exist-
ing Dry Dock and Engineering Plant and Machinery at
Northfleet, as well as from the sale of chalk and flints,

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons.
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
leg,ally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
Importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite
In thenew edition of 'Self-Preservation,' facts of para
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man for Nits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the
se mosswt pitiable depths of' physical and moral degradation.
Tn cahere the vital essences have been weakened by the
Influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted the ahor, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.

THE DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT
_HOUNSLOW POWDER MILLS.

We are enabled from inquiries made on the spot,
to place before our readers some further particulars
with reference to the deplorable accident which oc-
curred on Wednesday morning at Messrs, Curtis
and Harvey's Powder mills, near dlounslow. In
order that our readers may understand the details,
it is right to state that the mills arc situate in an
enclosed piece of ground covering upwards of 100
acres, distant 21 miles from Hounslow. Ix the
grounds there are in all some 30 or 40 powder mills,
each of which is situate 80 or 100 yards from its
neighbour, and in order to check the concussion, in
the event of such an accident as the present occur-
ring, the works arc surrounded by a plantation of
trees. The process of manufacture is conducted in
somewhat the following manner : the charcoal,
saltpetre, and brimstone are first ground and, pre-
pared in different houses, and then brought to the
incorporating mills, when they are ground between
arge iron rollers, mixed in proper proportions, and
rought to the consistency of thin paper. The
mixture in this stage is called a " green charge,"
and is brought to a preparing house, when it is
pressed by a hydraulic machine into hard cakes of
some two or three feet in diaineter and half an inch
in thickness. It is then broken with wooden
mallets, and carried in boats and carts to the gran-
ulating or corning houses, where the lumps are
placed in a hopper and then dropped into iron
rollers, which form it into grains. In all these
operations the utmost precautions are taken to
prevent accident. The quantity of powder in any of
the mills never exceeds ten barrels, as, when that
amount is manufactured, it is removed to the
magazine. As none of the unfortunate workmen
engaged in the press house and corning house
destroyed have survived, it is impossible to
tell what quantity, but as each barrel con-
tained 100 lbs., and as in all probability
all were full, 2,000 lbs. must have exploded. The
accident occurred in a pressing house close to the
stream called the Colne. Four workmen, named
Lencocks, Littleford, Davis, and Allborn, were
engaged at the time, and were killed on the spot.
The granulating house exploded immediately
afterwards, instantaneously killing two men named
Compton and May. Tho wind at the time was
providentially from the west, or otherwise the dis-
aster might have been more lamentable, as, had the
flames been (Liven in the direction of the other
buildings, some hundreds of lives might have been
lost. The Government inspector visited the scene
yesterday, and remained for some hours making
.
inquiries.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.—
Anxiety is the greatest obstacle'to human happiness. The
prudent pride themselves on :adopting measures for avoid-
ing it. They insure their houses and ships, and the still
more thoughtful assure their lifes. Yet what is life with-
out health? Can pain and enjoyment dwell harmoniously
together ? The wisest man secures his own well-being, and
in Holloway's remedies finds a perfect and indisputable
policy of assurance against most of the diseases by which
humanity is assailed. Those preparations ward off many in
attack that, without them, would leave desolation in its
track, and cause the heart-rent mourners unavailingly to
regret that these two policies, Holloway's Pills and Oint-
ment, were not numbered al; iongst their household treasurer.

. the cant of sham Liberals and the pretended fears of sham
patriots. Whenever the people establish a•:philanthropic
institution, the working of which requires a,sysstern of voting,
in order to admit. those, who need, to the benefits of suc
institution ;- What system of voting do the people select ?
This identical.system of. voting papers And so admirably
is it found to work, that I never heard of any abuse or cor-
ruption in any single instance. The votes that are recorded
frequently amount to many thousands; the number 'of can-
didates is frequently large, and yet no difficulty is found.
In fact, Sir,, here .is the- best system that .has yet been
frothed. I will therefore only remark that if the voting-
papers be'. not' published, but merely preserved !for a
certain time in case a scrutiny should be required, we
shall have all the adiuntages of. the ballot mitheiit
the chance •of fraud. • Now, Sir, no. Whig hat ever
proposed anythinr, so liberal as this; thereore let all
true friends of the ballot vote 'for the Government Eill,
and trust no.more to Whigs or chance.' Such another op-
pertunity as thiS may not occur for years ' • for if the friends
of the ballot vote with the Government, the majority will
be something astonishing—and while it will secure a great
political privilege to the people, it will relieve us from hav-
ing reforms kept continually dangling. before our eyes and
beyond our reach. As regards the re-distribution ormem-
hers, I must acknowledge that the Government bill does
not go far enough, but in other respects it is, as Mr. Hors-
man justly called it, the most liberal bill welOve had, and
more liberal than • any- other party can- or will give us.
MAny different rules for the distribution of members have
been proposed; such. as population, property, ineonie-tax;
direct taxes, &c., but I think the best rule is to distribute
members according to: the' number of electors. Ectus,'
therefore, have .the- Government bill, which deals almost
entirely with the franchise, and when the new lists of Voters
are made out we Shall be in a position to ascertain the
number of members each county and borough ought to
have. Let us wait no longer for a perfect Reform Bill ;,
fir no one seems able to frame- one or -to pass one. Let us
not place a blind confidence in a man, who first'talks about
finality, then fails with two measures, and now declines to
tell us what he will do. Let us not be deceived by the
cry, that every change which a Conservative proposes is
unconstitutional. Liberals have proposed many changes
which were not constitutional, until_ by being carried out
they beam-fie so. Let us take we can get, while we

of room:]

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Our new colony of British Columbia is, according
to the last accounts, in a most satisfactory condition.
This will be good news to the public generally, for
the young establishment on the Pacific coast has
been quite a favourite since the tidings reached
home that gold had been found along the course of
the Fraser River. Although our people know little
—far too little—about the colonies, yet they have
their partialities. New Zealand, the Britain of the
South, from its position and climate, and the labours
of an eminent churchman, has long enjoyed popu-
larity, not so much with the emigrant who seeks a
busier market for his labour, as with that educated
class which does not emigrate at all. British
Columbia has succeeded for a time to this ; pre-
eminence in the minds of Englishmen, and seems
likely to justify the good opinion which has been
formed of it.
At the last advises, the. difficulties which the
influx of miners had caused were passing away, as
the great body of them, dreading the winter and the
high price of provisions, had returned to San Fran-
cisco. Government was strong enough to keep
order among those who remained. In the spring the
rush would, of course, begin again, but by, that
time a reinforcement of troops would have arrived,
the administrative and judicial arrangements of
the colony would be more complete, and the
unquiet spirits more easily dealt with. With
respect to the • mineral wealth of the country
the accounts are most captivating. It is re-
ported on good authority that the whole course of
the Fraser River up to its source in the Rocky
Mountains contains rich deposits of gold, and that
the tributary streams are no less abundant in
metallic wealth. The gold covers an extent of ter-
ritory, if these reports be true, which will make
British Columbia the most important gold producing
region in the world. It is certainly fortunate that
Sir Robert Peel made a firm stand on the Oregon
question and secured this noble tract for his coun-
trymen. After the sacrifice of territory by the
Ashburton Treaty such a success was necessary to
restore his reputation as an administrator of foreign
affairs. The country to which British emigration
and enterprise are now invited is one which must
before long take a high place in the world. The
Americans have founded two States, California and
Oregon, on the Pacific coast, and these are growing
with a rapidity unexampled. even in their annals.
They are purhing steadily across the contihent ;
new eities-bffen years ago are now far within the
limits of civilisation. Chicago has become a -vene-
rable metropolis to the citizens of St. Paul,
Dubuque, and Superior. The transit across the
Isthmus is being regularly organised, and there is
reason to hope that the troules which desolate
Central America will pass away, so that a rapid
and cheap communication .between the two oceans
may be permanently established. All these things
point to the speedy prosperity of the British
territory on the Western coast, • containing
as it does some of the finest harbours in the
world, with a fertile soil, a healthy climate,
winters less severe than were anticipated, and, above
all, mineral wealth to which there seems no bound.
It would certainly ill become the British Govern-
ment and people to neglect the priceless territory
on which they have planted their flag. In days to
come, when the Pacific coast is under Anglo-Saxon
dominion from the Frozen Sea to the Isthmus of
Panama, when the Australians are a powerful com-
munity, when China and the whole of Eastern Asia
are penetrated by the enterprise of English-speaking
races, the region now known as British Columbia
will assuredly rank among the most prosperous and*
powerful. It rests with the English people of the
present day to decide by whom this fabric shall be
constructed, and whether the new community shall
grow up with English habits and instincts, or be
furnished with population and ideas by a kindred,
but still very different, people. We are exposed in
British Columbia not only to the rivalry, but to the
invasion, of the Americans. They are firmly esta-
blished in the neighbourhood, and while the terri-
tory is many thousand miles from the English either
of the home country or Australia, it is within a few
days' sail of a great American city. The first great
object of our Government should be to encaurage a
large British emigration. We are happy to say
that the working classes of the present day are
firmly attached to the Government of the mother
country, and that even the Irish obey peacefully the
law and the constituted colonial authorities wherever

Assrat. INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN. CIRCUIT.--lAMPoot, March 30.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes.)
• ' :%11.711,DER AT MANCHESTER.
John Parkinson, 43, and Charlotte Parkinson, 29,
both of whom were described in the calendar as
imperfectly educated, were placed at the bar on a
charge of -
murdering the. new-born child of the
female prisoner, having been committed for trial
on a coroner's warrant. .Theyrisoners were revec-
tablv attired, the man being in -deep inhuming;
and'neither of them appeared to. be under the in-
fluence of any very strong emotion, considering the
serious position in which, they were- placed.
Dr. Wheeler and-Ilr. Hopwood appeared for the
Prosecution ; and AttorLev-General Bliss, Q.C., and
'Mr. Campbell Fester for the defence of the prisoners.
From Dr. Whcelei's opening statement ,it ap-
peared that the male prisoner was recently a book-
seller in'Bradford, and that he
.was also the owner
of a chapel in-which he preached. The female pri-
soner_w4is the wife of a person who was engaged as
en:assistant in his shop. - Both prisoners were pro-
fesised spiritualists, and the woman was the man's
• " medium "' of communication with- the spiritual
world. On the last day of last year be preached his
farewell sermon- and teok leave of his flock, as he was
about to leavel3&.dford fora distantpart of the-eoun-
try. For sometime previously a close intimacy had
existed between the prisoners, and it was remarked
that when the man left the woman disappeared at the
same time. Their first appearance afterwards was
in Manchester, where 'they were going about in
search of lodgings. They presented themselves at
the house ofMfrs. Mawdeslev, in Hyde-road, and
agreed to take a. parlour and`bedroom at the rate
of 10s. per week, they at the same time represent-
ing themselves to be man and wife. They took
possession of the rooms the same evening. When
the prisoners were first at her house Mrs. Mawde-
sley observed nothing peculiar about the woman,
but the following morning she noticed she was far
advanced in pregnancy. She asked how it was she
had ventured to travel about when so close upon
her confinement, and the prisoner replied that she
did not expect it for three months, as she was only
six months gone. On the following Monday morn-
ing the prisoner was delivered of a female child.
Mrs. Mawdesley was- indignant with the prisoners
for taking her lodgings under such, circumstances,
but still every necessary attention was paid to the
woman. The child was a very healthy one, but
the mother said she did 'not think it would live, as
it .breathed very heavily, and two children she had
before died soon after their birth. A surgeon was
in attendance upon them, but he told the prisoner
that it was unnecessary for him to call again, as
both mother and child were doing well. This con-
tinued until Thursday night, when the child died.
On the body were found bruises and discolorations,
which ultimately led to the suspicion that it had
been killed by strangulation. The male prisoner
was very anxious to have the body quickly in-
terred, and having succeeded in obtaining a certifi-
cate, from the registrar, the burial took place in
Ardwick CeMetery, where, in consequence of sub-
sequent suspicion. arising, it was exhumed.
Mr. Rix, surgeon, said that early an Sunday
morning the male prisoner came to his place and
requested him to attend the confinement of his wife.
He went with him to his lodgings, and delivered
the female prisoner of a female child. The child
was healthy; and appeared to be full grown.- He
did not say anything about the child being weakly,
and unlikely for life. He never said she must not
be surprised if the child died at any moment, or
that it would die in convulsions. He saw not the
slightest symptoms in the child of weakness or
convulsions. It appeared to be a perfectly
healthy child. On the Thursday the male prisoner
came to his house about 10 o'clock in the morning,
and stated that the child was dead. When witizess
asked why he had not sent fur a doctor, he replied
it was early in the morning, and it would be of no
use. He asked for a certificate, but witness told
him he could not give one, as there would require
to be a coroner's inquest. He appeared to be
very unwilling to go to the coroner's office, and
witness told him he might go to the registrar, and
see what he had to say on the subject. He after-
wards went to sec the child, and found the lips
were black and the mouth open, and a black mark
on the neck under the chin. He had not no-
ticed the marks before, and if they had been on
the child he would have noticed them • as they
weie so decided marks. Witness and-iir Jona-
than Wilson made sprit marten: examination of the
body on Saturday, and found it was ,a
child. The cause of death was congestion on the
brain, which was produced by the unnatural pres-
sure of the veins, which were too full. It was his
opinion that the child did not die from natural
causes.

Several other witnesses were examinsd.
His Lordship summed up strongly in the pri-
soners' favour, and

The jury, without leaving the box, returned a
verdict of not guilty, and the prisoners were or-
dered to be set at liberty forthwith.

THIS DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, have
amounted to only 1,970 quarters, and fresh up, to-days b
land-carriage, the receipts were very moderate. • Although
the bulk of supply on offer found buyers, the demand
was by no means active, at Monday's currency.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was rather exten-
sive—met a slow inquiry. In prices, however, no Change
took place.
The few samples of fine barley in the market ' found
buyers at very full prices, but the value of grinding and
distilling, sorts was rather, drooping.

In malt, only a limited bu;ine's was transacted, at late
rates.

We have a slow inquiry for oats, at Monday's prices,
but beans and peas were firmer.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.

they go. A large infusion of English settlers is
the primary want of the colony ; they would bring
the land under cultivation, thus probably enrich-
ing themselves more than by seeking their fortunes
at the diggings; they would stand by the Governor,
and help in maintaining order ; and they would
give an English tone of decency and regularity to
the administration of justice, and, when esta-
blished, to the Colonial Legislature. Every one in-
terested in the welfare of British Columbia must
do justice to the exertions of Sir E. Lytton, who
has organised the staff of officials and improvised
a fair Government with praiseworthy readiness.
We trust that his attention, or tho attention of his
successor, will be turned to this question of immi-
gration ; and it would not be amiss to examine
whether English colonists could not be sent across
the Isthmus as well as the Americans who proceed
to California. The voyage round Cape Horn is a
terrible affair of five months, with storms and

heailwinds a great part of the way. Surely there
is no insurmountable difficulty in establishing two
lines of emigrant ships,--one for the Atlantic and
the other for the Pacific service, and booking a
family all through. Of course, it is a question of
money, and we do not want the Government to in-
terfere with private enterprise ; but still a Govern-
ment may give encouragement, or even originate
ideas, and the passage of emigrants across Panama
or Tehuantepec seems no more extraordinary than
the transport of troops to India by Suez, a scheme
about which the official world hesitated greatly.
The next subject of anxiety is the financial
management of the colony, and on this head the
greatest danger is to be feared from Downing-
street meddling. Australia will probably not
recover during this century from the evils inflicted
by Lord John Russell's and Earl Grey's Admini-
strations with respect to the sale of land. In British
Columbia we have already the first note of com-
plaint, which in a few months will probably swell
into a chorus, unless, indeed, the settlers take the
matter intb their own hands, and conquer the
alleged official obstinacy by a violation of law.
Every one wants to buy land, and the authorities
will not sell. Colonel Moody and his sappers are
to survey the colony, and when that is done the
market will be open, but not before. In the mean-
while men have been even prevented from esta-
blishing a sawpit, a first necessity in a new land
where houses are built of timber. This prohibition
was the result of a belief that the possessor would
claim a right of preemption when the land came
to be sold. For similar reasons the soil remains
uncultivated, and all provisions have to be brought
from abroad. This intolerable mismanagement
should cease at once. The system adopted in
America, and of later years in Canada and
Australia, is to allow land to be acquired on

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The public sales of this article have proceeded
with spirit, and of 28,650 packages offered 5,300 were sold
at full rates. In the private contract market prices remain
exceedingly firm. Common Convu being quoted 14d
per lb.
SUGAR.—A fair amount of business has been transacted
and late prices have been fully maintained. The better
qualities of British West India have in some instances
realised a slight advance. A moderate demand has been
experienced in the refined market and late rates are fully
sustained. _ .

COFFEE.—The market has been exceedingly firm, al-
though the transactions have been limited owing to th.
small quantity on offer. Plantation Ceylon has been in in-
creased demand and full rates are current for all descrip-
tions.

RlCE.—Rather more activity has prevailed, and previous
quotations are freely supported.
Rum.—No sales of any importance have been reported,
but prices are steady. Strong brown St. Vincent's sold for
is I Id per proof gallon.
SALTPETRE.—The demand has been only moderate, and
prices in some instances have slightly receded. Bengalis
per cent, refraction sold at 39s 3d, and 4 per cent. refrac-
tion at 40s per cwt.
TALLOW.—The market shows rather more firmness, and
prices have improved. At public sale Australian sheap
sold for 518 6d to 52s 9d ; and beef, 51s to 535. P.Y.C. on
the spot is quoted 53s 3d ; April to June delivery, 53s ; and
last three months, 53s 9d to 54s per cwt.

THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES.-MEETING IN LlVER-
POOL.—Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon a meeting of gentle
men of all political creeds was held in the Liverpool Town
Council Chamber, to consider the propriety of originating a
subscription in aid of the Neapolitan exiles now in England.
The Mayor (Mr.Wm Preston) presided. The first speaker
was Mr. C. E. Rawlins, who moved " That, deeply sym-
pathising with the Neapolitan gentlemen who have just
landed on our shores, in the sufferings which they have
endured from their attachment to the cause of rational free-
dom, we most gladly join our fellow-countrymen in a
public subscription in their behalf, not only as an expres-
sion of our sympathy with the oppressed, but as our protest
against that tyranny by which they have been driven into
unmerited exile." The resolution was seconded by Mr. J.
T. Denson, and carried unanimously. The meeting was
afterwards addressed by Mr. Philip nathbone the Rev. J.
S. Howson, and Mr. Robertson Gladstone; the two latter
gentlemen moving a resolution to the effect that the sub-
scription should be kept open for 14 days, and the amount
transmitted to the Earl of Shaftesbury. Before the meet-
ing dispersed subscriptions were received amounting to
£123.
