Select Committee a simpler duty to'perform than the pie-
sent one ; its main office is to declare a forgone min-
elusion in a manner so emphatic that their recommen-
dation may at once bear fruit in action. it is somewhat
discreditable to the good sense of,all parties concerned,
that we should be now occupied in the preparation of a
fifaeth protest upon the question whether it be worth
while to travel seventy miles out of the way between
London and Paris when the object is to pass as quickly
as may be from one capital to the other.--Times.

THE PERIWINKLE TRADE.--It would hardly be
supposed that so trifling an article of consumption as peri-
winkles could form a matter of extensive traffic ; but so it
is. Sometimes as many as 50 or CO tons of these little shells
are brought at a time to our quay from the island of Ker-
vera, opposite Oban, where they abound, and are gathered
by the poor people, who get 6d. A bushel for collecting
them. From this they are shipped to Liverpool, and thence
by rail to London, to satisfy the insatiable maw of the modern
Babylonians. Very few are retained here in transit, as the
popular taste for" whilks and buckies," is not so strongly
marked in our population, and better profits are conse-
quently obtained in London, even after paying so much sea
and land carriage.—Glasgow Paper.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MAY 2.—The
market to-day has presented no material variation from
Tuesday. Spinners and manufacturers are very firm in de-
manding an advance, and the consequence has been that a
very small amount of business has been transacted.
DISFIGUREMENT OF LONDON,'BRIDGE.—In the Court
of Common Council, the other day, great objections were
nade to the brick building now being raised on the Surrey
,ide of London-bridge. near the Bridge House Tavern. We
Irn't wonder at it. It is an ugly pile, sadly in the way.—
Builder.
