| COMMERCIAL. The Cotton market con-
tuues III the same quiet state III which the
Great Western left it. Prices have rcceded
. fully IL farthng per pound for middlng quail
ties, but the better kinds of New Orleans have
not been quite so depressed. The large crop,
and what is regarded as the pacific news, have
produced tins result, and the absence of all
speculation, except in the event of warike adj
vices, viii, Ill all probability, continue. The
/ Whltsuntde holidays, in the manufacturing
districts, have interIcred, to some extent, with

Will again resume their ordinary course. The
/ India and Chinese markets nave improved, and
! as they form at present the great outlet for our
products, the home trade promises to exhibit,
. Tor some time TO come, more than It's wonted
activity. The produce markets gancrally are
in healthy state. 1t will be seen from an am
pie report of the American Provision markot
that that description of produce holds an en-
couraging position, except in the Article of But
ter. With the exception Of the great Ameri-
can staple, Cotton, all other articles of COM
merce, speaking generally, are going of favor
ably at remunerating prices,
On Friday in Parliament much anxiety was
manifested to hear the announcement of the
Government plan for the establishment of new
Colleges in Ireland. Sir Graham's statement
was very long, bnt its leading features may be
compreneBded within brief COMPASS 1t is
proposed to establish three pro DIVISIONAL Colleges
one at Cork for the South, one at either Gal
way or Limerick for the West, and one at either
Belfast or Derry probably the lormer,) for the
North The cost Of establishing these Colleges
will be about 600, 900, and the annual Gov
eminent grant for their maintenance is to be
elS'000, being 5000 for each.
1t is still uncertain whether the Roman Cath
Ole Bishops will give in their adhesion to the
government plan for the erection of the three
colleges IN Ireland, minus religious instruction.
MIR. O'Connel has declared against the plan.
The proceedings which took place in the
House Of Commons on Friday night, 10th May
are important in the present position of matters
between England and the United States. The
debate referred more particularly to the state
of the navy, which the professional members
contended was in most inefficient state
badly manned, and altogether disgraseful to the
country and tee service. The admission of this
inclticiency was made by Sir Geo. Cockbun
and the other representatives of the Admiralty
Board, and the blame was thrown on the En-
chequer, the Chancellor of which evinced no
willingness to place the wooden walls of the
nation in better position. The same COM
plant has been made every year that we have
been at peace, but complaints on this score are
irultless, unless the Government of the day will
consent to keep as many men in pay during a
period OF peace as the oxigencies of the coun-
try would require in war. The Government
however, will be, probably, induced, in conse.
quence oil the strong representations which are
made at a critical time, to provide a remedy

The SUGAR DUTIES. By an order in Conn

Of the United States, the State of Venezuela

MIR. OConnell stated that he purposed to dis
regard the threatened call of the House of Com
} mons, as he was satisfied that the Act of the
} Irish Parliament. passed in | 1872, declaring that
the English Parliament had no right or autho-
rity to legislate for the Irish people, was still
unrepealed, notwithstanding the Act of Union
passed in 1900. He also vilified Sir James Ora
hams plan for extending academcal education
in Ireland, and agreed with Sir Robert Inglis
; in thinking it was Gigantic scheme for god

are to credit the reports of the different news
