[The following appeared in our Third Edition of we, however, anticipate an adiance, is old stocks are
last night :--] generally worked off'. In the raw silk market prices
. _ _
are quoted firm.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAT.—We have had a good
active market to-day ; a large amount of business has
been done. Goods have changed hands freely, espe-
cially cheques and fancies, they being chiefly inquired
for.' Stocks begin to look low, the manufacturers
being principally working to order., The business of
the week has been very brisk.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The demand for some de-
scriptions of worsted is scarcely so good as, it was,
but there is no alteration in prices. The German
houses are rather more shy of giving out orders for
yarns, but the Russian houses order freely, -and the
quotations are unchanged. There is not agreatdeal
doing in wool. The staplers are asking higher rates,
which are not readily acquiesced in.
LEADS, TUESDAY.—There is no change to note in
the woollen cloth trade since last week. The mills
continue to be fully employed, and stocks on all hands
are very low. There is a good business doing in the
warehouse by large buyers, and the shipping houses
are buisy for this season of the 3 ear.

FRANCE.

A telegraphic dispatch from Avrancbes announces
that the •President of the Republic entered St. Lo on
Tuesday evening. The dispatch adds,— ' The Pre-
sident entered St. Lo amidst cries of Na-
poleon !' This morning, on his departure from Cher-
bourg, the National Guard and the population of the
town hailed ' him as he passed with cries, a thousand
times repeated, of • Vive Aapolion? Vire le Presi.
dent.' At Valognes and at Carentan, which he bps
thus visited for the •second time, the welcome of the
people has been still greater than on his first passing
them. At • St. Lo he was received with the most
liver enthusiasm. He mounted on horseback at the
gate o£ the town, and reviewed the garrison and the
NatiOnal Guard of the chef-lieu; the National
Guards of the rural commune, crowded into the town
in great numbers. On all sides the President's
presence excited unanimous and sympathetic • accla-
mations:'

We read in the Presse :—" When M. L. N. Bo-
naparte was a prisoner at Ham, we several times, and
particularly at the period of his father's last illness
and death, raised our voice to obtain from the Govern-
ment to show its magnanimity, and open his prison
doors to the author of the attempt at Boulogne. M.
Ducbittel, then Minister of the liiterior, remained deaf
to the demands of the Presse, which were turned into
ridicule. Does M. Duchatel still believe that he was
right and the Presse wrong ? We now make the same
representations, without hoping that they will be bt t.
ter attended to. A medical man, Dr. Ferns, who not
long since visited the prison of Duullens to see a pri-
soner, saw at the same time M tl. Gamboa and Barbe 3;
the first appeared to him affected with consumption,
and the other in such a state of weaknesi,that he con-
sidered it his duty to mention the fact lo 141. Baroche.

HERRIN G TRADE.

ABERDEEN, SEPT. 3.—The takes since our last
report have been small—indeed, not worth reporting
in detPil, up to this morning, when the boats brought
in from 7to 25 crans each. The sale continues brisk,
and pretty large quantities are imported both for im-
mediate sale and fur cure.—Aberdeen Journal.
PETERHEAD, SEPT. 2.-I'he average tor the 270
boats fishing here is now 88 crans per boat.
FRASERISURGH, SEPT. 2.—The fishing here during
last week was kept back by the stormy weather ; the
average to this date is 114 crans. Several of the boats
have completed their agreed for complement of 200
craw.

GARDENSTON, SEPT. 2.—There .has been very little,
done at the fishing here, during the last week. The
•boats were prevented from getting to sea, in conse-
quence of the stormy weather during 'the greater
part of last week. On Friday night 'they, were-- all
out, and the average on Saturday Morning ,wpuld be

On Friday and Saturday the take was excellent, and

then. the .fish are a little spent or spawned, and the
expectations are not therefore good for the future.
The average take for the `seasan is 150 crans—a few

ErEmoura.--Owing to the very unsettled:state of
the weather there has been little doing in -the fishing
for eight days past. A great many whales have been
seen for some days past sporting along the coast„, and
there are other appearances which tell of; a shoal
being on the coast. Only half of our boatiicat off

•Mitny planters begin pickingto,-difi
-and this operation is expected to 'commence generally
on Thursday. Great numbers of hop-pickers, princi-
pally Irish, are flocking into the district, and although
the crop will be a full one, the picking season will
probably be short, for every planter will set on as
many as his oasts will keep going.
MeaxwoaTu.---The mould has made much havoc
within the last week, and there are several grounds
that will not be picked at all. There are also a few
grounds that are good, and promise a fair crop, but
we shall be far short of an average.
TESToN, WATERINGBORT, AND NETTLESTEAD.—
Where the hops are free from disease there will be an
average crop, as they have grown so freely within
the month. There is a considerable quantity of mould,
which will much reduce the quantity.
. HADLow.—The hops in this parish present the ap-
pearance -of an abundant crop. Picking will be gene-
ral this week. •
MALLING.—Several commenced picking yesterday ;
it' will become general towards the middle of the
week. The crop is still very uneven in regard to
size and forwardness, and there are.few or no grounds
without a little mould.
YALDING AND HUNTON.-011P hops have much im-
proved during the past week, where the mould has
not made its appearance. Some few began picking
yesterday, and we think it will become general this
week.

AZ, -

• HOLLINGDOURN.—The hops continue to look well,
but a little more backward than our neighbours.
IGHTHAM AND SEAL.—The mould increases in
some grounds, while others are quite' free. There is
a prospect of an average crop. Many planters will
commence picking about the 12th inst.
HORSMONDEN.—The frosty nights have prevented
the " Colgates" from growing to their usual size. In
many plantations they are very numerous, but very
small, which we consider must act as a drawback to
the amount of duty. Picking commenced here yes-
terday (Monday).
RoLvaNDEN.--The hops in this neighbourhood
which have been picked are not quite ripe, and some
planters have, consequently, delayed picking for a
few days. The grapes ha►e come forward this last
week.

STAPLEHURST.—The picking will become general
this day (Tuesday). Mr. Carley commenced last
Wednesday, and he states they, never came down in
better condition.
CRANBROOK.—Tbe hops in this neighbourhood ate
still making. rapid progress,- developing- themselves
during the past week in TiCh. profusion. There is to
be found-here and there. with a slight touch of
mould, but it is very trifling. ,'Picking commences
pretty generallY ihis.week.
TEN T.EADEN.---PiCkiDg has commenced, and pro-
mises to be-favourable -for the pickers, but the late
crops are rather deficient in Condition, the cold nights
having ratherretatded their growth.
BoasmorinsN.-The last week's cold frosty nights
and sunny days have-been very beneficial to the ripen-
ing of the hopsy but-it -has •brnught a very serious in-
crease of flea;-whiclrtalas- condition away very
fast. Nothing does idimich harm, except mould, at
this time, of the.year. There is the greatest quantity
I ever saw in the Weald and Sussex. I was in some
crack grounds on Saturday of large extent, which, if
wet weather sets in, will be nearly all spoilt, but if
they are gathered immediately, sifted, and knocked
about, they may deceive some-judges. . •
EDEMBRIDGE.—We began picking yesterday (Mon-.
day). There is more mould than was expected.
CANTERBURY.—The weather of the past few days
has had an extraordinary effect upon thehops. Those
which hung in growth have shot forth rapidly. Where
the mould exists it is increasing fast, which induces a
premature picking._ , :,
COWDSN.—The hops are going. on well. We have
a little mould, but not worth talking about. Picking
will be•general this week.. _ •
, EAST GRINSTSAD.—The hops are very much im-
proved. Picking has commenced here. "
B REPE.—Picking will commence this week. The,
hops in many gardens are very sthall;,and are get-,
Ling yelloW on the dry soils. We notice mould in
several gardens. _ . • • • •
ICRLESHAM.—There is a great variety' in this,
parish, but taking the parish generally, it will pro
duce a very good crop. There is mould showing.
FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS,
SEPT. 9.—We have had some very cold nights during
the last week, which will prevent any great increase
of weight of the growing crop. Picking, has par-
tially commenced, and will be very general this
week.-Maidstone.Gazette• • •

Speaking-tubes are not employed to anything like
the extent to which they might be with advantage. Row
much time and fatigue would be saved if' the necessity in
private houses were done away with, of ringing for, and
bringing a servant up perhaps two or three pairs of stairs, to
receive orders which another journey is necessary to execute.
In building new houses this should be looked to ; and it is
rendered the more simple and economical since Whishaw's
invention of the Tehkcuphanon, or whistle-mouthpiece, has
superseded the accompaniment of the bell, which was for-
merly in most cases necessary. —The Builder.
METROPOLITAN IMPROVEIiIIINTi.- In addition to the
improvements in the metropolis und the city of London, au-
thorised by the LondOn -bridge Approaches Fund Act, there
an Act of the late session (13th and 14th Victolia, chap.
109), under which the Commissioners of Woods and Forests
will be able, to raise Co,oto/. on the Metropolis Improvement
Fund for the purpose of completing the new street from the
north end of. Commercial-street, Spitalfields, to Shoreditch.
Very considerable improvements, both in the City and in the
Metropolis, will now be completed, Acts of Parliament having
passed in the course of last month to raise in the whole the
sqra of $24,0904 for that purpose. .
