STATE OF TRADE.

BELFAST, April 28.—Flax.—Supplies in the va-
rious markets during the past week were again
small ; buyers were not numerous • " prices were well
maintained. Yarns.—During the past week a less
active demand prevailed than on the prcced lug
week. Orders coming forward from the Conti-
nent were not numerous. Stocks are comprised in
narrow bounds, especially of tows, which are nearly
exhausted. Very little change has taken place
in stocks. Handloom Linens, brown. A good
steady demand exists for heavy linens. Prices
have a tendency to advance, especially for
the finer grades. Demand fair for cloth for dyeing
and hollands, prices of which are firm. Powerloom
—A fair demand exists for cloth for dyeing and
hollands. Stocks are small. Demand for light
linens for bleaching has been quiet, the late advance
in prices having checked sales. A good, steady
demand exists for heavy linens. Linen hand-
kerchiefs are in good demand. Cambric hand-
kerchiefs are less inquired after. Roughs are in
improved request ; demand equal to production ;
prices tend upwards. Bleached and finished
linens—Business transacted on home account during
the past week has been of a steady character. De-
mand from the Continent has been good, and trans.
actions were to a larger extent than were. those of
preceding week. Demand from America has been
somewhat less extensive, and business here for that
market has been small. Stocks are small ; prices
firm, with a tendency to advance.
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, 29T1-1.--The sudden ter-
mination of the Abyssinian war is likely to have a
depressing effect on the coal freights to the East,
which have fallen since the receipt of the news.
Trade is only dull in the district, and in some branches
of it masters have to maintain a somewhat hand-
to-mouth policy. There are not so many orders
for iron steam shipping in the market as there were
a couple of months ago. Three or four of the
building-yards of the Tyne are tolerably full of
work, however, and will be kept well employed
until the middle of the year. The anchor and chain
cable trade of the Tyne is better, as respectable
orders have been booked for ships' outfits from
other ports ; a large order is also being executed
in mooring chains and buoys by Messrs. Hawks,
Crawshay, and Co., for the Indian Government.
Messrs. Palmer and Co. (limited) are making con-
siderable progress with the ironclad turret ship for
the Admiralty.

THE PA.CKE.R. PARCEL QUESTION.

A case of some interest to the public, in which the vexed
question of "packed parcels" was involved, has been dis-
posed of at the Sheriff's Small Debts Court, Glasgow,
before Sheriff Campbell. Mr. H. Christie, tobacco manu-
facturer, Nicolson-square, sued the North British Railway
Company for the sum of 4s. 3d., which the pursuer con-
sidered an overcharge on a parcel of manufactured
tobacco which he had sent to Aberdeen. Mr. Wood, who
conducted the case on behalf of the railway com-
pany, said that the pursuer had been in the habit
of sending a number of small parcels of manufactured
tobacco addressed to different persons in one package
addressed to his agent, who distributed them. The rail-
way company, considering that this was not fair, issued a
bye-law on the 31st March, to the effect that packed
parcels sent to agents would, on and after the Ist April, be
charged double fifth-class rate. The pursuer, he said, had
sent a parcel on the 3rd current to Aberdeen, for which
he was elmged Gs., while by the powers conferred by
the N6l-th Erltlsh Railway Consolidation Act, 1858, the
;ompan:-» l have charged lie i•ursuer in all not less
:ban V-. 4,1. for the conveyance of this package. Mr.
aristie admitted that the contents of the package were
of the dewription stated by Mr. Wood, but stated that,
while he made that admission, he did not consider the
railway company had any right to ask the question or to
expect an answer, as he thought that when a merchant
truly 11,clared the contents of his packages the railway
company had no business to make further inquiry
He maintained that the clauses of the different Acts
ci
Parliament quoted by Mr. Wood did not apply to this case,
as the real case at issue appeared to be whether the
railway company, as common carriers, having a rate for
manufactured tobacco, and admittedly that rate being 20s.
per ton from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, could charge 80s. per
ton for the same class of goods for the same distance, on
the plea that the package contained packed parcels.
Mr. Wood said that, as the present was a case
that would affect the whole of Scotland, he
thought that it should not be decided in a summary
manner before that court, and submitted that it
should be tried in the Court of Session. The sheriff
thought the pursuer was entitled to the remedy he asked,
and in a very lucid and carefully-prepared judgment, in
which he gave the grounds of his decision,, decreed
against the railway company for the sum sued for, with
court expenses. Mr.,Wood accepted the judgment on
behalf of the railway company, and intimated, amid
laughter, that it was exactly in accordance with a decision
that had been given in the Court of Exchequer. of which
he was afraid Mr. Christie might have heard.

he was charged 65., while by the powers conferred by
the North l'..it-Ish Pailway Consolidation Act, 1358, the
aomputr - have charged ursuer iu all not less

THE DUKE OF EDHVBURGIL

To the medical profession, which is never back-
ward
in its loyalty, the case of the Prince is of
especial interest as an example of a somewhat rare,
though not by any means unknown, fortuitous oc-
currence —the passage of a ball along a rib for a
considerable distance without any injury to the
viscera of the chest or the abdomen. Thus Guthrie,
in his " Commentaries," speaking of this accident,
says :—" It is a rare exception to a general rule,
dependent upon the ball being reflected upon some-
thing solid which it cannot penetrate, such as a
button, a piece of money, a rib, &c." According
to the telegraphic despatch the ball entered tho back
half an inch to the right of the spine, struck the
ninth rib, followed round the course of the rib, and
lodged five inches from the umbilicus and four
inches and a quarter beneath the right nipple,
having thus traversed a distance of 12 inches and a
quarter. The ball in all probability was fired some-
what obliquely, and this favoured its course around
the chest. It was, perhaps, fortunate also for the
Royal patient that his cowardly assailant attacked
him behind, since the tissue of the back would offer
more resistance than the thin chest-wall in front.
It may be remembered that the unfortunate bands-
man who fell a victim to Fenian hatred last autumn
was fired at directly in front, and the ball passed
between the ribs and traversed the lung, finding an
exit behind. We congratulate Drs. Watson and
Young, of the Challenger and Galatea, on their
successful extraction of the ball, which was, no
doubt, readily accomplished under the circumstances
through a small " counter-opening." As the latest
accounts pronounce the Prince convalescent, we may
hope that, though injuries of the chest-wall are not
without some danger to the important organs in the
vicinity, the good health of the patient, oombined
with the solicitous care he has received, will have
fully restored him to health before he reaches these
shores, where his advent will be anxiously awaited
by the public uo less than by his august relatives.—

PIRATES.—IRIESTE, April 25.—The Carlo Bor-
romeo (Austrian polacca), Captain Sinibaldi, was chased
by a large vessel, apparently a pirato, on the 30th March,
in the Nauplia Channel, but on the polacca preparing her
guns for action the pirate rapidly changed her course and
made off. On the Gth of April 12 or 15 armed men of sus-
picious appearance lauded from a boat in a bay about three
miles from the town of Syra. Twelve wore afterwards
arrested.

SENATOR NELATON.

Since M. Nelaton's appointment to the Senate it
he will relinquish
hhiass
pbreoenfesnsiiaodne. a qsuomesetioonf wohuer:her
contemporaries have
and that thus the
quietly settled the point by observing that the sacri-
fice
has
Emperor'sbto science are of a doubtful
and unsatisfactory nature. This is simply a mistake ;
eeenomreplunnireendtsfrom him,
our comments on a recent occasion upon M. Nela-
ton's appointment retain their full sense and value.
There is -nothing whatever to lessen the gracious
character of the Emperor's determination. No
condition has been pressed "Pon M. Nelaton, and
he is perfectly free to act as he chooses. The
profession in France has, therefore, every reason
to be proud that this distinction has been con-
ferred in such circumstances upon one of its most
worthy members. Indeed, the very manner in
which M. Nelaton's nomination was made known
to him shows beyond a doubt the absence of any
such intention from the mind of the Emperor. Be-
fore the 15th of August it was a current belief with
the public that M. Nelaton would be called to the
Senate, but the celebrated surgeon himself had per-
sonally no assurance on which he might ground any
such ambition. On August 14 he was in his con-
sultation room, when a courier arrived and handed a
letter from the Prince Imperial.
The young Prince
had written to say that he knew his doctor had
just been named a Senator, and that ho was glad to
be the first to announce the event. The delicacy
of such a proceeding needs no comment. M. Ne-
laton being thus free to act as be desires, it is
not probable that he will of his own accord
relinquish his profession. There are several
reasons why he should not. It would, in the
first place, be a sort of avowal that there is some
reason in the absurd prejudice which had until
now precluded the active members of his profes-
sion from enjoying any elevated political posi-
tion. It would, in the next place, unnecessarily
deprive the public and the profession of the assist-
ance which may be derived from his long ex-
perience and recognised ability. There is one more
reason which the new-fledged Senator would
doubtless weigh well before arriving- at any such
determination. Since the death of Vtlpeau, Jo-
bert, Trousseau, Mellon, and Raycr, his practice
has taken an unlimited extension, and is now
worth, it is said, upwards of 500,000 francs a
year— half a million of French money. Really
it would be asking too much of the cele-
brated surgeon to abandon so rich a field,
even if it be for the sake of enjoying
the oilcan cum
dignitate of a scat in the Imperial Senate. We
may therefore safely assert that M. Nelaton has
not, as it was wittily remarked by a French con-
temporary, thrown his bistoury into the Seine on
his way to the Senate, but that he will yet con-
tinue to handle it, much to his own benefit as also
to that of his patients.--The Lancet.

1' Conftltutionalism" is, it must by owned, a great I
mystery." a conundrum it is quite as good in its way
as the representation of minorities. Mr. Tipping, a "Constitu-
tional" candidate for Stockport, has just published his ad-
dress, which is more remarkable for its poetical language
than its intelligibility. It contains the following finnsen-
tence, reminding one strongly of the mawkish platitudes
which the more weak-minded of our grandfathers were
in the habit of propounding after dinner under the
name of sentiments :—" The bulk of the nation
is invested with the rights and responsibilities of
citizenship. With a gauge so widened it is more than ever
essential that the wheels of progress should bite the consti-
tutional rails." Mr. Tipping, it should be added, is a rail-
way director.—Pall Mall Gazette.

MISS RYE'S CANADIAN SCHEME.

The Pall Mall Gazette remarks that Miss Rye has not
been so successful in Canada as she desiro'l. She
hoped to induce the Government to assist her
in bringing out another shipload of young women,
but sho offered a hundred pounds, which was
tantamount to a refusal. A Toronto paper explains that
the motive for withholding the aid applied for is the uncer-
tainty whether the girls would remain in Canada after the Go-
vernment bad paid all their expenses. The people look with
greater favour on the proposal to send them orphans from
England, for children they could hope to bring up, so
that they would afterwards settle in the dominion. Tho
Mormon arrangement is worth Miss Rye's notice— we mean,
of course, only as regards recruiting their colony. Money
is advance 4 to people who desire to go to Utah, but they
are expected to repay it. It is easier to carry out
this scheme in Utah than it would be in Canada,
but still something could be done by its means to induce the
immigrants to settle down, instead of yielding to the delu-
sion that in the United States they would be better off. The
Canadian Government might perhaps be more favourably
inclined towards Miss Eye's proposal if she would incorpo-
rate this plan with it.

Railroad Bonds are in good demand, and are selling
steadily. Advices were received in this city yesterday
that the seven hundred and sixtieth mile of the Union
Pacific Railroad had been completed and placed in thorough
working order. The rapid westward progress by this
road gives increased assurance to investors to the first
Mortgage Bonds of the company of the reliability and
profitableness of the investment. The sales of the bonds
are fully up to the requirements of the company, at 102
per cent. and interest, the latter being calculated at the
rate of 6 per cent. per annum in currency from July 1.
Mining Stocks continue to be much depressed, and the
business is on a very limited scale, excepting in Grass
Valley (of Colorado), of which several purchases have
been made at 40 cents. Petroleum stocks are firm, very
few of the desirable stock being on the market. Express
stocks have reacted to-day to the extent of 2 per cent.
from the lowest quotations, but the demand appears to be
principally to cover short sales. We quote :
Adams ... ... 50 to 501
American ... 41 } to 4
Merchants' Union, 35 per cent.... ... 21t to 21
United States ... 411 to 42k
Wells, Fargo, and Co. •26 to 21
The continued decline in prices of Express Stocks 108
elicited from the Now York Tribune the following very
encouraging remarks :
" The decline in Express Stocks, which seems strange
to some outside holders, is susceptible of easy explanation.
Before the war the entire capital of the express companies
was about five millions, and dividends of 10 to 15 per cent.
were earned. Since then the stocks have been watered,
and rival companies have been admitted to a share of the
business, so that the present capital is $35,000,000 much
more than seven times the actual cash invested. Bofors
the war railway managers were identified with the a."
press companies, and the latter enjoyed specialadvantageS
for the carriage of goods and parcels. Now the railroads
are almost all at war with the expresses, and the
rates charged for transportation leave no margin for
profit. Most of the leading roads aim to do their oWn
express business. Of late, too, the robbing of express
messengers seems to have become a regular business, s°
much so that no month passes without some express safe
being robbed of heavy amounts of currency, and it would
seem to be the interest of the Express Companies to aban-
don the transportation of money—hitherto the most lucra-
tive branch of their business. These reasons seem to
have led nearly all the old Express men to sell out their
stocks. Nine-tenths of the certificates of Express Soc
bni"
afloat in Wall-street aro in the name of office boys ;
dors of Express Stocks are liable for losses to double the
amount of their holdings, and no one can toll when en
ass.sament of 10 or 20 per cent. may be levied on Adams
or Merchants' Union."
