SECOND EDITION.

have almost ceased to
occurrence)—b‘nt, by the careless,
.4%,;th which they facto ignominy—(for these things
startle; by their daily
unhesitating, and reckless consistency
re-
turn verdicts of felo-de-se against those c,.'ildren of misery
and wretchedness whose crime against the decree of GOD
himself, is aggravated in the eyes of these duodecimal
councils by the more inexpiable guilt of poverty I Is there
a country in the world where poverty is more persecuted in
life—more hunted down after death, even—than this, with
all its boasted institutions, its moral bearing, its
munificent charities. We seriously fear that there is not.
A Pharisaical, conventional propriety appears to be at once
more diffusively established, and more highly appreciated,
than a plain, unobtrusive, meek, and sustained Christian
deportment of benevolence to, and pity for, our
• species. It was but to the excess of this pseudo-
" correctness ;" this meretricious shadow of a
morality beautiful by very reason of its simplicity;
this white-washed, decorum-hiding, not atoning for, the
" multitude of sins," that the miscreant TAWELL, in the
beginning of the present year, sacrificed the substantial
merits of his private charities and good works, and all the
worldly advantages of a competent fortune and a " respect-
able position in society." How many hundreds of thousands
yet remain among us who, without so far losing their calcu-
lating habits of self-possession as to be hurried into crimes of
so deep and revolting a dye as those of TAWELL, do
yet maintain this "respectable position" in the great world
by sacrifies of principle, of integrity, of candour, of affections;
by violations, one day to be atoned for in this world, or be-
yond it, of the most sacred ties of kindred, honour, and good
faith ; and the studied contravention of the great rule of human
conduct, "to do to others as we would be dealt by ourselves"
—every day in the year, and almost every hour in the day ?
If they be not great convicted criminal offenders,
like the heartless poisoner, they are not less heartless as moral
delinquents of another kind ;—the plausible but worthless
Pecksniffs of society. Were not this the case, it is certain
that so pernicious an example would not affect, as we are per-
suaded it does, the judgment of jurors in that remarkable
manner which the verdicts of coroners' inquests exhibit.
If an honourable or noble speculator on a race- course, or
a wealthy and influential dealer in the money market,
after being defeated in the projects which he has raised on
some operation of extraordinary magnitude in his peculiar
sphere, communes with his friends, or settles under his own
handwriting his worldly affairs, all this evidence of
mental collectedness and deliberation is at once passed
over as nugatory, or accepted as establishing the case
for a certain inevitable verdict—that the " unfortunate
nobleman," or " lamented gentleman," committed suicide
whilst labouring under temporary insanity. The jury is
thanked and dismissed. The coroner sympathises in the
recess of a window, or a corner of the chamber, with the
nearest relative or friend of the deceased who has
given evidence, and takes his leave with all the
serenity of a man who has done his duty, and—earned
his fees. In due time there is the general pomp of
an elaborate procession to the last resting-place of the
body of the deceased ; and the sympathies and grief
of the spectators, young and old, provided they be of
" a respectable rank " in society, arc wonderfully
excited by the recollections of high birth, or great opulence,
or eminent ability,—in short, of any of the accidents which
ought to have withheld the departed from the " rash act" by
which his life has been violently terminated. Reverse the
medal. Look at this lamentable suicide of a poor
labouring man, haunted by so inconvenient and offensive a
degree of sensitiveness, on the part of a person in his hum-
ble sphere of life, that " the fact of being unable to pay
his rent for the cot in which he lived" is generally thought
to have been " the cause of his committing the act." Aye !
this is, indeed, a sordid and therefore an unpardonable crime.
A pauper, not content to rot in the slavish obscurity and
squalled indolence of a poor-house, but ambitions,forsooth, to
maintain himself in an independent, though famishing exist-
ence, by honest industry; this pauper labourer, discovering
after all his efforts that his scanty wages are all too
little, after all his gallant fight to maintain
himself out of the union workhouse, to defray the rent of his
humble cabin, is driven, no doubt, to desperation by the
reports which are published every week of proceedings at
quarter sessions and petty assizes, where distraints for rent,
and distress warrants for levying the fractional dues on ac.
count of poor-rates for tenements whose fractional rents ex-
ceed the reach of their fractional wages, are granted by
wholesale with overwhelming additions in the shape
of costs and fees; and executed with that unsparing rigour
which seizes the bed from beneath its dying occupant; the
wooden chair from " the man sick of the palsy ;" the straw
pallet from the unconscious infant offspring of the wretched;
and drives out from his fireless hearth, and his barewalls, and
the protection of his shattered roof, the ousted pauper, an
exile, less guilty, but scarely less desperate, than CALN him-
self, on a wide and desolate and unpitying world. Poor
LOVELL, we have no doubt, had before bis eyes the vivid pic-
ture of these last acts in the domestic tragedy of the unem-
ployed or ill-paid labourer's existence; and to escape an al-
ternative which our poor seem now to concur in regarding as
more terrible than dissolution, rushes upon his fate, and ex-
tinguishes, with his:own hand, the sacred lamp of life that has
been confided to his keeping by its ALMIGHTY source. If
the ruined but high-born gamesters on the ' turf, the
once enormously rich and luxurious, but suddenly
broken, speculator can, to a very certainty, find in every
coroner's jury a sympathy for his last mental afflictions, and
a merciful straining of the law to rescue his insensible corpse
and his future memory from supeiadded ignominy, how
happens it that the poor peasant, whose life has been passed
in the ever-toiling but unsuccessful attempt to secure the
necessaries of existence —not to accumulate only to abuse the
superfluities of its enjoyments—how happens it, if he, maddened
by the breaking down of all his honest exertions to sustain
himself by the sweat of Lis own brow, rushes on the crime of
self-destruction, rather than eat the bread of parochial alms,
as it is now too commonly and too grudgingly bestowed; that
these inquests are sure to declare that he was of sound mind
when lie killed himself; that they brand the last excess of
his despair with the legal infamy of a verdict of trio-de-se--
and leave Lis dishonoured remains to be pitched into a hole
anywhere, anyhow, at any time, without ceremony, attend
ants, mourners, or pity !

It would appear that the inhabitants of England are
dobmed ever to be the victims of the vested interest of the
clergy, for while the tithe-owning rector of the country
parish joins with the monopolist landowner in opposing the
opening of the ports for the free admission of the food of
the people, because he has a vested interest in famine;
his brother rector of the town claims an equal!), vested

interest in plague and pestilence, and as strenuously opposes
all plans for the establishment of cemeteries out of the City.
A letter from Dr. CRoNIN, the physician to the Strand Dis-
pensary for the Cure of Consumption, appears in our columns
to-day, descriptive of the present state of the Savoy
Churchyard, which is situated between the back of
the houses in the Strand and the river, in the
midst of a densely populated neighbourhood. "At all times"
says Dr. CRONIN, "there is a most noxious effluvium from
this churchyard, and when (in a heavy dense state of atmos-
phere, as at the present time, and as has been for the last
five weeks) a grave is opened, the stench and emanations are
really intolerable, and truly deserving of public reprehension
and denunciation, as most fertile causes of producing and
spreading pestilential disease."

- The Doctor thus describes the effects produced upon himself
by the noxious exhalations from this magazine of pestilence :
—" Several graves have been lately opened within the last
month. In one day there was in this small churchyard no
less than three open at the same time, the noxious exhala-
tions from which were so overpowering as to produce on my-
self faintness, succeeded by violent retching."
The description is not overcharged, and so far is the Savoy
Churchyard .from oeing an unfavourable specimen of the
burial-grounds in the metropolis, that we have no hesitation
in stating that we know of no burial-ground which is not
more crowded, more closed up, more pestilential. The
Savoy is, perhaps, the most favourable specimen of a
metropolitan burial-ground that the advocates of inter-
ment within the precincts of great towns could produce.
Surely Sir J. GRAHAM will no longer hesitate to bring in some
measure to' do away with this crying evil. He it is who is
responsible for its continuance, as but fur his interference, ac-
companied by a promise that the Government would con-
eider the subject, Mr. MacKlNNort would have perse-
vered in the measure which he introduced, two ses-
sions ago, for prohibiting interments within the pre-
cincts of large towns. The Government did consider
the subject, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM announced that
they were not prepared with any measure, as they found it
impossible to reconcile conflicting interests. We hope, how-
ever, that the matter will now be taken up in right earnest
and that the safety and health of the community will be no
longer sacrificed to the grasping avarice of those who claim
a vested interest in " plague, pestilence, and famine."

Madrid journals of the 21st state that, though no official
business is transacted on the Bourse, purchases to a consider-
able amount had lately been made, and a considerable rise in
the funds had taken place. A rich capitalist, according to
the Espanol, had invested large sums in the Three per Cents.,
and continued to purchase all that is offered for sale. The
quotations, as given in private letters on the 21st, were :
CTehnrthee.,pmeriCcaensth. Cents.,
Cou34cit, 34 for the Account. Five per
s,
24i to 25 for the Account. Pas-
sive Debt, 8A to 8i for cash. These prices show a rise of
nearly 2 per cent. since the last official quotations. The Edi-
tor of the Espectador had been tried for a libel on the Go-
vernment, but without a jury, and condemned to pay a tine
of 20,000 reels (200/.) One of the papers repeats the rumour
that ABD-EL-KADER had agents at Gibraltar and Lisbon to
engage European officers in his service ; and adds, " that a
committee for the same purpose had been established at
Madrid."

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the state of Al•
genie, and from the latest accounts it is anything but favour-
able. Several tribes that had made their submission to the
French had thrown oft' their allegiance, and. thus, says the
Journal des Debats, "we have to tight our battles over again,
and renew our conquest over one half of the Algerian
terri-
tory." The conclusion of the telegraphic dispatch from Per-
pignan gives rise to these remarks, and is as follows :
" General BOURTOLLY and Colonel ST. ARNAUD had effected
their junction, and were awaiting reinforcements previous to
commencing operations. Bou MAGA, with 300 cavalry, had
attacked, on the 18th inst., a tribe under the very walls of
Mostaganem. Lieutenant-Colonel MELLINET, with the troops
which were in that town, had repulsed him. During the
night of the 18th three tribes of the subdivision of Oran had
revolted. They are the first of that subdivision which have

I failed in their allegiance. The 700 men embarked at [Port
Vendres, on board the Labrador, are the first troops which
have arrived at Oran from France. Their arrival has pro-
duced the best effect, and will contribute to main-
tain the fidelity :of the tribes which as yet have
not revolted." The intelligence conveyed in this dis-
patch is considered highly unsatisfactory. The French
troops, though said to amount to 80,000 men, and scattered
over a vast extent of territory; probably one-third of them
are invalided ; and numerous small divisions are thus exposed
to the sudden attacks of ABD-EL•KADER'S troops. Even the
Government paper, from which we have quoted, takes rather
a gloomy view of the present position of the army. " The
announced defection," it sap, "of the three tribes in the
environs of Oran is, indeed, bad news. The minds of the
Arabs have been worked upon by assurances from the
agents of ABD-EL-KADER that the reign of the infidels
was at an end. They have taken part in the general
movement, and reliance can be no longer placed on
the fidelity or even the neutrality of the tribe 3.
But we have now many advantages in our favour, which, at
the beginning were wanting to us, for we have roads, towns,
fortified camps, and points on the coast, where we can land
troops without interruption ; •in fine, we have become :per-
fectly acquainted with the topography of the whole country,
and the greater portion of our troops are well practised in the
species of warfare they have to carry on. We cannot fail in
the end to gain once more our object. As to the amount of
80,000 men, we may observe that this is the number of the
effective force, and there should be deducted from the active
force many non-combatants who are reckoned in the total ;
that all the corps have a small depot in each of the towns cf
Algeria; that the men in the hospitals are comprised in the
effective, and that the army is spread about in three wide
provinces, occupying a great many towns, fortified camps, and
posts stati.med on the roads. It may, therefore, be easily
conceived that the number of the moveable columns is ne-
cessarily restricted."
Accounts from Algiers announce that Marshal BUGEAUD
bad commenced operations, and was on his way to put down
the rebellious tribes. The Moniteur Algerien states that on the
18th inst. the Governor•• General, attended by his Aides-de-
Camp and orderly officers, left Algiers for Milianah to place
himself at the head of a column of 4,000 men collected
there for the purpose of acting to theeast of Oran. Colonel
EYNARD, the Marshal's first Aide-de-Camp,!arrived:at Algiers
on the 17th. M. GARNIER PAGES, the Deputy, arrived also
at Algiers on the same day. The Akbar announces; that it
had received intelligence that General CAVAIGNAC had made
a razzia on the tribe in which Commandant BILL or. and
Lieutanant DE DOMBASLE, and their escort of five hussars,
were so barbarously murdered. Before starting, however,
the eccentric Marshal had been busily engaged in issuing
proclamations and addresses, among others one to;tke Arabs
and Kabyles, in which we find these curious phrases:

" It appears-that the demon of madness has possessed the minds
of some among you. Driven by the incessant instigations of a
chief, whose ambition takes no account of either your repose, your
welfare, or even your lives, a great many of your tribes have risen
in revolt against the authority of the King of the French, without
any rational hope of attaining their object. Can they believe that
France, who counts millions of warriors, would leave the victory in
their hands, were it possible, as it is not, they should gain a
conquest over those who are now in Algeria! This is a great error
in them. Armies much more formidable than the first would
quickly come over, and the only final result would he the total de-
struction of the Arab race. In latter days, have we not ruled and
directed you with the mildness and favour as we have treated the
French. If you cannot feel this, and prefer to this paternal go-
vernment the cruel tyranny of Abd-el-Kader, it must be because
the light of God has been withdrawn from you. You can have no
one to blame but yourselves for the ills you bring down upon you.
lam come with a second army. I will not leave the smallest
corner of the rebellious parts of the country unexplored, pursuing
the revolted tribes to wherever they may retreat, and, if they per-
sist in not returning to their lands in perfect submission, I will
banish them for ever from Algeria, and bring other people to fill
their places."

On Saturday evening the King of the FnExcx received
the Austrian Ambassador, Lord BROUGHAM, and General
SEBASTIANI. The :Courrier cle Marseilles states that Mr.
LEADER, the Member for Westminster, is waiting at Cannes
the arrival of Lord BROUGHAM, who was expected in a few
days.

According to a letter from Toulon of the 23d, the report of
the squadron, under the orders of Admiral PARSEVAL DES-
CHENES, having been ordered to proceed from Algiet s to the
coast of Morocco, was unfounded. This squadron is now
stated to have been on the 15th off Cagliari, in Sardinia.

INAUGURATION OF TIER MAJESTY'S STATUE.—A para-
graph, headed as above, has gone the round of the press,
leading the public to suppose that yesterday, being the
anniversary of the opening of the Royal Exchange, the
statue of her Majesty, which we described fully on a former
occasion, would be erected in Merchant's area, accompanied
with some form of ceremony, we attended in consequence,
but beyond the simple fact of removing the cover which
shrouded the statue, nothing whatever requiring notice took
place. There was no ceremony, nor were any of the
City officials present. The circumstance we have stated
took place at three o'clock, before a considerable assembly of
spectators, and amidst loud cheers. The statue when thus
disclosed to view bad a very striking effect, and excited the
general admiration of all present. Up to the closing of the area
at the termination of business on 'Change, great numbers of
spectators visited the spot to have a view of the marble re•
presentative of the Queen of the Isles.

It i 3 said to be her Majesty's intention to honour
Drury-lane The ttre with her presence to-morrow evening, after the
inauguration of Lincoln's Inn-hall.
The Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and Lady
Rachel Evelyn Russell, are still at the Doune of Rothiemurchus, in
the Highlands, where her Grace is entertaining a select party.
The Duke of Wellington arrived at Apsley House
yesterday, from Walmer Castle, accompanied by Lord Charles Wel-
lesley. Ills Grace is expected to attend her Majesty to the opening
of Lincoln's Inn New Hall to-morrow. Lady Charles Wellesley has
gone on a visit to the Right Hon. Henry Plerrepoint, at Chorsholt
Park, near Andover.
The Duke of Buccleuch and the Hon. Mr. Under-

Secretary George W. Hope, who were sent for express frem Scot-
land, in consequence of the alarming illness of Lord Montagu, have
arrived in town. The answer to inquiries yesterday, in Hamilton-
place, was, that his Lordship had passed a good night, but was much
the same as on the preceding day.
STEALING LETTERS OF ALLOTMENT.—SOMe days
past suspicions have been entertained that an organised system
exists for purloining letters of allotment, and that the principal
parties :concerned are some of the sub-officials of the Post-office.
A few days ago, a letter was posted by the secretary or solicitor of
the Nofthampton, Bedford, and Cambridge Railway, and addressed
to C. Rawlings, Esq., Warwick-street, Pimlico, which fell into the
hands of one of the gang alluded to. Shortly aftera notice was sent to
Mr. Rawlings, informing him on what day the deed would be ready
for signature. On inquiry at the offices of the Company, he was
informed that the amount of the deposit had been paid into the
banker's hands by the person who had improperly obtained possession
of the letter; and when he made his appearance for the purpose of
signing the deed, he would be given into the custody of the police
for ftaud and forgery.

ROBBERIES AT THE ERECHTHEIUM CLUB-HOUSE.-
The proprietors of this establishment, No. 8, York-street, St
James's-square, having within the last few weeks missed several vo.
lumes of Withers's works, an examination of the library was deter.
mined upon, when it was discovered that no fewer than thirteen va.
luable books had been stolen. Each of the volumes was bound it
red morocco and gilt. No suspicion is at present attached to any In.
dividual.

The Earl of Donoughmore was installed Master
of the Clonmel Masonic Lodge on Friday, and the Earl of Glengall
was also initiated a member.

DEATH OF LADY STRAFFORD.—The family of
Lord Strafford have sustained another heavy bereavement by the
demise of Lady Strafford, which took place on Sunday evening last,
at the town residence Portman-square. Her Ladyship was daughter
to Sir Walter James, Bart., being Lord Strafford's second wife.
Our readers may recollect that Lady ♦gnes Byng, wife of the Right
lien. 0. S. layng, eldest son to his Lordship, died a short time since.

DRATDI OF SIR MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY, BART.—
We regret to announce the death of Sir Matthew Tierney, one of the
oldest and most respected inhabitants of Brighton, which event took
place yesterday morning, alter a short illness. The Honourable Ba-
ronet had suffered for some years from attacks of gout, and there is
very little doubt that a severe attack of gout was the immediate cause
of death. Sir Matthew Tierney was a great favourite with George
IV., and we believe held the appointment of physician to the King
during the reign of William IT. Sir Matthew was born November
24th, 1776 ; and married October Bth, 1808, Harriet Mary, daughter
of the late Henry Jones, Esq., of Isleomsbury-square, by whom ho
had no issue. Upon being appointed physician in ordinary to his
Majesty, and physician to the household at Brighton, Mr. Tierney
was created baronet, 3d October, 1818, and obtained a second patent,
dated sth May, 1834, with remainder to his brother, Edward Tierney,
Esq., of litzwilliam-street, Dublin, a crown solicitor for Ireland. Sir
Matthew was appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Guelphlc
Order of Hanover, 7th May, 1831.
WALBROOK WARD.—Yesterday the Common Coun-
cil of Walbrook ward gave a farewell dinner to the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, at the London Tavern. The company invited consisted
of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, the Lord
Mayor elect and his lady, Sir Moses and Lady Monteflore, Sir George
and Lady Carroll, Mr. Alderman Hunter and Mr. Alderman Sidney,
late Sheriffs, and their ladies; Mr. Sheriff Ckaplin and lady, Mr.
Sheriff Laurie and lady, the Under-Sheriffs and their ladles. The en-
tire suite of rooms on the first floor, including the splendid drawing_
room, was appropriated to the entertainment, and fitted up for the
occasion in the most gorgeous style. We need not say that the en-
tertainment consisted of every delicacy of the season, nor that it was
served up with that exquisite taste for which the proprietors are dis-
tinguished. During the course of the evening many speeches were
made, interspersed with music and singing, and the evening was
spent in the highest enjoyment by all present. Seldom Indeed has so
costly and munificent a banquet taken place, resulting from the in-
terchange of kindly sentiments and friendly feelings.

APPROACH or WlNTER.—During the past week
the ice has been no less than an inch thick in the morning near Car-
marthen.

nONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was but little doing in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day. Sales;; 2,000; bales, all to the trade, and without any
change in prices. There was a better feeling in the Share-
market, which was firmer and more healthy, and prices in
some instances advanced.
When a question has to be discussed involving the inte-
rests of hundreds of well-concocted schemes for railway
extension, and the probable future employment of thousands
of our fellow-creatures may be concerned, it is of the most
material importance that truth should be the basis of public
writers. And if to bolster up a case there is an absence of
that most important ingredient, the public are fairly entitled
to distrust any such authorities. Our contemporary the Times, in
its City article to-day, states—" None of the Companies stand
in a much better position (alluding to railways generally)
than the Great Western, yet the fact is, that a purchaser of
10 shares in its stock 12 months ago would be now, at least,
1,0001. the poorer." Now, this is not the fact, as those who
bought Great Western Shares 12 months ago have been
large gainers by a rising market almost continuously. And
what is the difference in the prices since the Bank notice
came out? from 162 to 145—a loss upon 10 shares of about
1701., the largest reduction that has occurred in this species
of property fur many years. In truth the Railway Share
Market has rallied considerably, and the state of public
confidence has most materially rallied also.
On the 29th October, 1844, Great Western Shares were
61 to 62 premium. On the 16th inst., when the Bank
notice came out, they were 81 to 83 premium. Yesterday
they were 65 to 70 premium. It is true there have been
great intermediate fluctuations, but these only affect the
speculator in the same manner as the variation in the funds,
many holders of which do not sell out for years together.
In what respect, then, is railway property less secure or eli-
gible, as an investment, than stock, and which would be
safest or most profitable in war time?
There are papers of June 21 from Sydney, and June 12
from Port Philip. Matters were progressing very favourably,
and trade was brisk.
The Funds have been firm again to-day, with a fair busi-
ness doing. Consols are 96% to 97 for present Transfer, and
96% to 97% for Account. Exchequer Bills have beep 41s.
to 38s. premium; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
9734 to 98%.
'The Foreign Bonds have been rather higher. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 26 to 26%; the Three per Cents., 36 to 37 4 ;
Portuguese Four per Cents. 56 to 571; Mexican, 30%;
Chil:au, 99 ; and Brazilian, 80.
The Share Market is very quiet to-day, but looks well, and,
in many cases, there is an improvement.

THE ROBBERY AT BROMPTON BARRACKS.-CHAT-
HAM, OCT. 27.—John Forsyth, the man in custody on suspicion of
stealing the cash-box belonging to the mess of the Royal Engineers
stationed at Brompton Barracks, was brought up for final examina-
tion this day before the county magistrates at Rochester, when a
chain of evidence tending to connect the prisoner with the robbery
was adduced. It appeared that he had gone into the kitchen of
Captain Lloyd and inquired of the maidservant whether her master
was at home, but would not suffer her to call the man-servant to
ask the question. He must for that purpose have passed the room
where the cash-box was deposited ; and William M'Water, Captain
Lloyd's servant, saw a soldier going out of the door about that time
with a cash-box in his hand, but could not identify the prisoner as
the man. The box was found in a cupboard in a room to which the
prisoner and two other men had access, still locked, and containing
671. 17s, On settling with the messman a few days previously,
Lieutenant Myrass missed 151., and it appeared the prisoner had
changed three 5/, notes with a publican, two of which had been paid
to Mr. Bromley, the agent of Colonel Best, and the other is now In
the possession of the constable who apprehended him. He was com-
mitted for trial at the quarter sesions at Maidstone.
FURTHER RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.-
Another advance of a halfpenny on the 4lb. loaf took place yester-
day in different parts of the metropolis ; the " top " price, there-
fore, of "cheap" bread is now B}d., and of the best wheaten 90.,
and in some places 10d. the 41b. loaf.

MARKET NEWS.-(THISIDAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE.-WEDNESDAY
The continuance of fine weather, and the large quantity of
English Wheat on sale has produced considerable heaviness
in the demand for that description of Grain, and prices ruled
somewhat lower tor the middling and inferior kinds. Very
little Foreign Wheat was on oilier; nevertheless, the trade with
it was dull, at barely late rates. Holders of bonded Grain
were firm, but the amount of business doing was trifling.
Barley and Malt sold freely, at very full prices. The supply
of Oats being small, the Oat trade was active, at fully Mon-
day's advanced quotations. Beans and Peas were quite as
dear. In Flour very few sales took place.
