Inc question WnetneT the building shall be sui
Tered to remain is now beginning TO receive in
creased consideration 1t was erected upon the
distinct condition that it should be removed at the
conclusion Of the Exhibition, and therefore some
steps must be taken before the prorogation of Par
lament if this resolution is to be altered. Strange
ly enough the unanmitv of sentiment regarding
its preservation is such that one seems to think
1t necessary to take the slightest trouble on the
subject, and the danger Of its removal, therefore,
only arises from the fact that such suppositon is
wholly discarded. The chief commissioner of
woods and forests, however, actually holds the
warrant for taking it down, and in of default
of prohibiting it on the part Of the representatives
OF the people, the sentence would be carried into
execution. At the same time there is not the
smallest prospect of such a contingency. The
popular love of Horticulture and horticulture was
never so active as at present. and there can be
little doubt that we shall have permanent pro-
menade IN the midst of flowers, fountains, and
siat'lary, that will surpass in the beauty Of
its effects the scene that is TO be witnessed at the
present moment.
The prospects of the harvest, both in England
and France, will henceforth constitute one Of the
most important subjects of speculation. In Eng
land the accounts contradictory but the reports
from Ireland are all of the brightest kind and the
congratulations OF the people upon the extent and
promise of the potato crop stronger than ever
In France, the actual shortne as Of existing stocks
md doubts as to the present year, have caused
some uneasness and considerable rise in price,
consequent upon which there has also been fur
ther advance OF Is per quarter in the quotation of
wheat In the London market, making total rise
OF not less than As or 5s per quarter (equal to
about 10 or II per cent.) during the past month
<1hls rise being fully much as the amount of
protection in the shape of duty which the Tories
have been demanding, it is to be hoped they will
now feel coinforted.
The census returns for Ireland have not vet
made their appearance, but it is reported that, in
stead of simple absence of increase thew will
RCtualIV show a Iarop decrease sinca tha
return in 1871, and that the population will now
be found scarcely beyond what it was thirty years
ago.
The arrival of the North America at Galway.
which will be looked for on Thursday next, is still
grand topic of excitement in Ireland and pre-

with the event Every nerve is being strained to
insure rapid communication of her news to Lon
don, so as to establish the advantages Of the route

The discussion on free navigation in the House
OF Lords last week, when Lord Stanley attempted
to create the impression that the ship owners were
being ruined, has led to some useful results, two
OF the parties most largely connected with our
Shipping trade, who were formerly among the bit
terest opponents of the repeal of the navigation
laws, having come forward with declarations that,
under all circumstances, they would not now wish
those laws to be restored. In referring to the de.
pressed condition of our coasng trade, which still
retains the advantage OF protection, they admit
. that although partly caused by the influx of yes
sells from the foreign trade which were useless for
the race of competition with other nations, it is
chiefly owing to the cheaper rates at which goods
can be conveyed by railway; and that therefore
the decline must have happened in any case. They
consider the coasting trade to be consequently lii
tie worth preserving, and express their repentance
Of the blind seltishness which caused this to be
stlll withheld from foreigners thus affordng pre-
text Tor Oaiiiornia to be shut out from us, at the
very moment when we were setting free all our
colonial ports, the position of which, as regarded
England, was analogous to that of San Francisco
and the United States.
The money market remainss sssteady, and bullion
still flows in. Last week the total received from
New York, coupled with the arrivals from the ports
.of the Pacific, reached an aggregate of 100000
The exports to India during the same period were
100000.
The enormous accumulation in the Bank of
France continues. Last week there was an addi-
ton Of nearly 100000, which makes the total
