PERFORATED POSTAGE LAEELS.—Mr. WILSON said
that arrangements had been made with Mr. Archer for a
supply of perforated postage labels.
WRIT FOR LIVERPOOL.—In answer to a question whe-
ther the adj mrned debate on the motion for a new writ for
Liverpool could not be renewed early the next day, Lord
J. RUSSELL said he was afraid that the motion would lead
to a great deal of discussion, and that the house would be
too much occupied to go on with it.
THE MINISTERIAL INDIA BILL.—The adjourned de-
bate on the motion for the second reading was resumed
by Mr. Rica, who argued in favour of delay.—After some
further discussion, in which several members took part,
Sir CHARLES WOOD replied to some of the speakers
against the bill, and said that no objection had been offered
to it which might not be obviated in committee.—Mr. Dis-
RAELI said he found the scheme to be cumbrous, divided,
tardy, and defective in that responsibility which was the sole
sourceof allefficient government. As regarded that portion
which affected the home government, it abrogated, he
said, the advantages of the existing system, while it
retained all its views. He discussed very fully the rea-
sons assigned for and against delay, grounded upon
authority, upon the state of India and the state of
Asia, and upon the prospect next year of a measure
for parliamentary reform, denying, with the sanction
of Lord Derby, that the late Government had resolved
to legislate forthwith upon this subject, and he ex-
pressed Lis intention to support the amendment.—Lord
J. RUSSELL showed what he considered to be the fallacious
character of the amendment—no plan being shadowed forth
as a substitute for that contained in the bill—and pointed
out the risk incurred by suffering this question to remain
in suspense.

Upon a division the amendment was negatived by 324 to
142, and the second reading was agreed to without a
division.

THE WRIT FOR LIVERPOOL

Lord D. STUART—who was received with loud groans
—upon the resumption of the adjourned debate respecting
the issuing of the new writ for Liverpool, moved its sus-
pension until the 20th July, as he wished to ask for leave
to bring in a bill to enable the votes at the next election
for Liverpool to be taken by ballot.—Mr. H. BERKELEY
seconded the motion.—Lord PALMERSTON said it was
clear that they should act according to precedents. They
should delay the writ until the evidence was printed, and
he should move that the issuing be postponed until that
day fortnight.—Lord J. MANNERS expressed his surprise
that the noble lord should oppose the issue of the writ,
which the committee had distinctly recommended to
issue.—Lord PALMERSTON, upon finding that the com-
mittee had recommended the issuing of the writ, con-
sented to withdraw his motion.—The galleries were
cleared for a division, but none took place, and Lord D.
Stuart's motion was negatived, and the new writ ordered
to issue.—The house adjourned at 10 minutes to three
o'clock. FRIDAY, JULY 1.
CHORLEY IMPROVEMENT.—The third reading of the
Chorley Improvement Bill led to some discussion re-
specting the abatement of the smoke nuisance, and on
the suggestion of Mr. GREENE was postponed till Monday.
The British Electric Telegraph Company Bill was read
a third time and passed.
PLYMOUTH ELECTION.—The report of the committee
for inquiring further into the procedings at the Plymouth
Election was presented.
EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.—The LORD ADVOCATE said
he did not think that any measure concerning education in
Scotland could be introduced during the present Session.
STAMP DUTIES.—The House then resolved itself into
a committee on the Customs, &c. Acts.—The CHANCEL-
LOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that, in lieu of the pre-
sent stamp duties on certain deeds or instruments, and on
scrip certificates, other duties should be payable. These
resolutions were agreed to.

ADVERTISEMENT DUTY.—The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER moved that, from and after the sth July, in
lieu of the duties now payable on advertisements, there
should be paid, on each advertisement contained in or
published with a newspaper, periodical paper, pamphlet,
or literary work, a duty of 6d.—Mr. M. GtbsoN moved
to substitute words repealing the duty on advertisements,
in accordance with a resolution of the House on the 14th
April last.—The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER op-
posed this amendment, and stated the reasons which had
induced the government to think that it was not compa-
tible with their obligations to comply with the vote of
April.—After some discussion, the amendment was nega-
tived by 111 to 101.—On the resolution being put, „Mr.
CRAUFORD moved that, instead of 6d. an " 0" be inserted,
and upon a division this was carried by 70 to 65, being a
majority of five against ministers.—The CHAIRMAN then
put the resolution as amended, and this was carried by 72
to 63, being a majority of nine against ministers. Upon
an appeal to the SPEAKER, he said the resolutions were
quite regular, and the report was ordered to be received
on Monday. _ _ .

TAUTY ON SUCCESSIONS.—The House returned into
committee upon the remaining clauses of the Succession
Duty Bill, beginning with the 21st. On arriving at the
29th clause, the chairman was ordered to report progress.
Several bills were advanced a stage, and the House
adjourned at half-past one.

BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.-The Trustees of the Birken-
head Dock Company v. Laird and the Birkenhead Dock
Company and another.—ln the Rolls Court, on Thurs-
day, Mr. Follett, Q.C., moved for an injunction to
restrain the defendants from lowering or altering the
wharf wall in front of some land leased by the company
to the defendant, John Laird, on the south side of Wal-
lasey Pool, other than opening with navigable gates.—His
Honour suggested that the plans of the works proposed by
the defendants should be handed to the plaintiffs for con-
sideration, and that the bill and notice of motion should
be amended, so as to enable the court to decide whether
an injunction should go upon the merits of the case gene-
rally.—This course was agreed to, without prejudice to the
rights of either party, and the case was appointed to come
on for hearing to-morrow (Wednesday) week.

BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB.—A race for
yachts of the first-class, belonging to the Model Yacht
Club, took place on Wednesday, and excited a consi-
derable degree of interest. The weather was fine, with a
fresh breeze from the W.S.W., sufficiently strong to put
the capabilities of the second vessels to a severe test, and
at the same time there was enough of danger to give a zest
to the affair without exciting apprehensions for the lives
of those engaged. The club had engaged a Woodside
steamer for the conveyance of themselves and friends to
view the race, which was in attendance at the Landing-
stage at two o'clock, shortly alter which it left for Monk's
Ferry with a goodly company, including many of the fair
sex. There was considerable detention before the race
commenced, owing to the difficulty of getting the boats
into fair relative starting positions, but at 3 40 the signal
was given, and the whole of them hoisted sail, getting
away with apparently equal advantages. The yachts en-
tered were the Warlock. belonging to the Commodore,
the Kelpie, A. Sparrow, Esq., ; the Cyprian, P. H. Jones,
Esq., ; the Breeze, E. Haigh, Esq. ; the Sirocco, W.
Brown, Esq. ; the Truant, R. M. Grinnell, Esq. ; and
the Presto, R. Bower, Esq. The Sirocco, however, did
not start, owing, we understand, to the indisposition of
the owner. The course extended from Monk's Ferry
round the second floating powder magazine to a buoy
moored close to the Dingle, from thence round the first
powder magazine home to Monk's Ferry. Shortly after
the start the Presto took the lead, and rounded the
magazine in twenty-seven minutes, followed at a short
distance by the Breeze, in close proximity to which was
the Truant. This position was maintained until these
three boats had reached the Dingle Buoy, shortly after
which the Presto lost her mast, and was hors de combat.
In returning to the magazine the Warlock and the Kelpie,
which, throughout, were at no great distance, crept up ;
the Warlock closely following up the Breeze round the
magazine, in close contiguity again with which was the
Truant. The Kelpie here suddenly capsized, but a boat
being near, the crew were picked up without injury. In
the return home the Breeze continued to lead, arriving at
Monk's Ferry at 5 22 ; the Warlock at 5 25 305.: the
Truant was not more than a few boats' length behind the
Warlock. As the race was one of time, and the Brleze
is two tons more register than the Warlock, three
minutes were to be allowed in favour of the latter ; thus
leaving the Breeze the winner of the race by half a minute.
It was well contested throughout, and the closeness of the
boats, particularly in the race home, added considerably
to the excitement on board the steamer.

STEVENS' SMOKELESS FURNACE-THE
GENOVA STEAMER.

The heating of furnaces for the production of steam,
without the discharge of smoke, has a twofold import-
ance—the absence of the nuisance on land and from small
steamers near shore, and the economy of fuel in steamers
on long voyages, as well as the foregoing. Many at-

appear to have been so truly successful,
and at the same time so simple, as that invented by Mr. J.
Lee Stevens. It consists in the combination of two sets
of fixed fire-bars, the first of which is fed by the cinders
voided from the upper set of fire-bars, with a calorific
plate ; by which arrangement the current of air entering
at the lower part of the furnace passes through two
strata of fire and thence between the calorific plate and
the bridge, and is thus so intensely heated as con-
tinuously to produce the entire combustion of the
gaseous products of the fuel, without the formation of
smoke. In practice it is found that the first set of fire-
bars do not require much feeding to keep up the action
of the furnace after combustion has fairly begun, for
which reason these bars are cast together like a grate, in
a much slighter form, and are placed horizontally instead
of inclined. It is also practically ascertained that the fire-
bars, and their carrying bars, are not, as had been pre-
viously apprehended, liable to more destruction than in
ordinary furnaces. And practical experience has demon-
strated, among other proofs in favour of the invention,
that it increases the draught—uniformly distributes the
heat, and keeps up the steam in boilers of whatever form
—and that its continuous and proportionable supply of
heated air, by which the gaseous products of the fuel are
prevented from being wasted in the formation of smoke,
is governed by a property peculiar to the inventor's sys-
tem, namely—that the quantity of oxygen supplied by
the current of air is regulated by the actual demand, that
is, in due proportion with the intensity of combustion.
The fiercer the fire, and the greater requirement of oxygen
thereby, the more rapid the velocity at which the current
of air rushes into the furnace ; so that a self-acting re-
gulator is thus provided by an immutable law of nature;
and the necessity for any adjustable apparatus, always
dependent upon the uncertain attention of the fireman, is
thus effectually obviated.
The merits of the invention have been tested by several
individuals who have given testimonials of its efficiency,
and it was further tested on Thursday, on board the
screw-steamer Genova, which left this port for Genoa.
The furnaces, a few days ago, were fitted up by Mr. James
Taylor, of the firm of the Britannia Iron Works, Birken-
head, who lately supplied the same vessel with the borne-
rang propeller, invented by Sir Thomas Mitchell. On
board the Genova were—Mr. M`Larty, of the firm of
M'Kean, M'Larty, and Co., the owners of the vessel ;
Captain Bolt, Captain Green, of the Brazileira, South
American mail steamer; Mr. R. Stevenson, engineer of
the Charity, African mail steamer, Mr. James Taylor, Mr.
F. Morton, agent to the patentee ; Mr. J. L. Stevens, the
inventor, &c. The steamer left the Collingwood dock,
shortly after six o'clock, and proceeded nearly as far as
the Formby lightship, during which time the company
had ample opportunity of ascertaining the capabilities of
the invention. The result was, that the smoke was re-
duced to a minimum, the draught of the furnaces was
materially increased, and the steam was got up to a higher
pressure than before, with the same description of coals,
and with a less quantity—the coals being of the most
bituminous description. The anticipated saving of fuel,
founded on ascertained savings elsewhere, will be from 15
to 20 per cent. Previous to leaving the Genova, the com-
pany were entertained in the cabin of that vessel, when
Mr. M'Larty proposed " Success to the Invention,"
coupled with the " Health of Mr. Stevens," who acknow-
ledged the compliment, and spoke of the spirited liberality
of the owners of the Genova, who had been the first to
adopt the bomerang principle on the Mersey, and who
were also the first to test his invention at this port.
The Genova has benefited materially, in the absence of
vibration, by the application of the boomerang propeller,
and in comfort to the passengers through the absence of
smoke.

This invention should be applied to the ferry-boats
which ply from the landing-stage, as the smoke from
them under the present system is often a grievous nuisance.

KNOWLEDGE is POWER.—The secrets of nature,
whether in their more extended or minute workings,'
never came more fully under observation than in our own
time, and it is now characteristic of men of science, not only
to observe, but to control. The value of this knowledge
and power is strikingly illustrated in the cultivation of
the HLTNIAN HAIR, which it was reserved for modern
genius to bring under the dominion of science. That
branch of the subject connected with its restoration, was
long the object of the most persevering solicitude ; but
now, thanks to the enterprise of C. and A. OLDRIDGE,
a preparation (the Balm of Columbia) is not only pro-
duced, but distributed through most of the British pos-
sessions, by which baldness disappears, and a luxuriant
growth clothes the brow that but lately bore a few thinly
scattered locks. Many a gentleman whose head was ra-
pidly losing its natural ornament, has, by the use of this
Balm, recovered his locks, and found them curling in
more than their wonted luxuriance; and many an elegant
woman who was dismayed at the diminution of her most
valuable decoration, has, by applying this active restora-
tive, imparted a salutary vigour to her tresses, which have
again waved and wantoned in exuberance and beauty.

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—The market is still
destitute of anything like animation, but prices remain ex-
ceedingly steady for all descriptions of goods and yarn. The
unsettled state of the Eastern question continues to produce
considerable stagnation, whilst the same causes—the complex-
ion of the American advices and the position of the labour
question--exercise a countervailing influence. For India
yarns the demand has been restricted all week, but prices con-
tinue firm. In most descriptions of warps and weft for home
manufacture, an advance of *d. is required, which is an unfor-
tunate circumstance for manufacturers of domestics, whose
position was previously anything but enviable, but spinners
are exceedingly firm in their demands, the prospects of a turn-
out rendering them rather milisposed to make very exten-
sive sales. There is still a good home demand for goods at
full prices, and, in fact, goods of all descriptions maintain very
full prices. The strike amongst the operatives has extended
from Stockport to Manchester, and this week in the former
place the turn-out is not yet settled, nor do we see so much
probability of a speedy settlement as last week.
ROCHDALE.—Coarse goods have been principally inquired
after, while those of a finer quality have been less in demand.
Low-priced English wool continues scarce, and anything under
17d. per lb. meets a ready purchaser; but wools above that
price are rather lower, and more difficult to sell.

LLEns.—On Tuesday the market was duller than for some
time past, and, with the exception of a demand for lower
priced goods for the Canada market, the business has been
dull out of the halls; the stocks are, however, lower in all
bands than usual at this season, and, in consequence, prices
are firm, and the millsicontinue fully employed. There have
been but few buyers in the town, and business has been dull
in the warehouses.

BRADFORD.—WOOI: There is very little doing in any kinds
of combing Wools. The spinners are disinclined to buy at the
prices sought. The supply coming to market is very limited,
and the quantity of old wool here in some of the staplers'
hands is greater than at one period was expected. Yarns:
There is no change in either demand or price; and no one is
disposed to spin except to actual order, as the current prices are
ruinous. Pieces: There is no change since last week. If the
difference between Turkey and Russia were adjusted, there is
no doubt but our business would be very active.
HALIFAX.—The uncertain state of foreign politics has a
tendency to check operations both in yarns and in manufac-
tured goods ; and most persons are limiting their transactions.
Wool is quiet and rather easy to buy.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The advance in the price of some descrip-
tions of goods has a tendency to prevent anything like specu-
lation, and parties have been buying more for the supply of
their immediate wants than anything else. Wools are very firm.
LEICESTER.—Trade continues much as last week, as it re-
gards employment and demand. At the Wool fair held at
Leicester to-day, purchases were made very slowly and with
great caution, both by the buyers of this locality and York-
shire. A larger quantity of wool was pitched than usual, and
the attendance was numerous. The offers were from 36s to 40s.
Average from 375. to 38s.
NOTTINGHAM.—The Lace trade, although by no means
brisk, may be considered -in a sound and healthy state.
Chiefly owing to the high price of material preventing stocks
being made on speculation, and the constant change of patterns
required, makes machine holders generally unwilling to pro-
duce the more expensive goods, except to order. For the
better class of hosiery goods there is a fair demand, and orders
have, in many instances, to be placed several months in
advance of their execution.
