How IT WoRKs.-A few weeks ago the
clerk of the Centre market adopted num-
Der of new rules, many of which arc re-
garded as timely and necessary, but some Of
them work to the disadvantage OF both
seller aud purchaser. A case In point:
About q week since a countryman from
Montgomery county, Md, drove his wagon,
containing chickens, vegetables, &C., to
Centre market, to be disposed OF. His stock
In trade was limited, but on taking a POSI-
ton near the sidewalk, he was ordered away
unless he paid the sum of $40 for the stand
and 10 cents every day he occupied 1t there
after. The countryman not having that
sum, and his stock not being worth much
more, he concluded to dispose Of 1t on the
streets, and drove to a restaurant, where he
"sold out CLEAN" remarking that in future
he would resort to the markets Of Baltimore
to dispose Of his goods.

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, June 2.-The proceedings in the
House OF Commons last evening with regard
to Canada and the other British colonies in
North Americs were very interesting.
Sir Harry Varney, member tor Rockingham,
inquired what the policy of the government
would be toward the American colonies.
Mr.. Mouseh, the Under Secretary for the
colonial Department., replied at considerable
length. While he declined to enter on the
general subject OF the colonial policy of the
government, he inLlmated that part OF that
policy was 10 throw the cost OF self defence on
each colony. Measures TO that effect had been

he believed that all the interests Of Rr,.;sh

Sir Stafford Northcote, member from North
Devon, thought the Canadians were hertar
able TO decide Tor themselves what action thew
would take in the matter than to act on the
advice OF the government; still he believed
that the question would soon be satisfactorily
settled.
Viscount Bury regarded Canada as the fu-
ture hig way TO the Indies and the East. Much
had been SAID and written about the ncorpor-
alton OF the British Possessions with the Unit
ed States. He ridiculed this idea and SAID that
by such a course the colonies had everything
to lose and nothing to gain.

INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION.
1t is claimed the State of Pennsylvania has
the right to authorize the manufacture of-cigars
by convict laborers, and this subject has been
officially presented to the internal revenue bu-
reau. No decision has yet been rendered. but.
as far as can be ascertaiued, the ruling will be
against the claim, for the reason that If cigars
can De thus manufactured without paving tax
the dstlllaton of whiskey might be conducted
on The same plan, and the government by this
means would be deprived of very large
amount of revenue.
OUR MINISTER TO PARAGUAY.
: A statement has recently appeared that sin
formation at the State Department shows al
most conclusively that the Brazilian and Ar
gentine authorities, who control the La Plata
below Asuncion, intercepted Minister MeMa-
hons dispatches; that Mr.. Mcmahon was at
.Asuncioa on the frst day of April, and after
he ascended the river and Joined Lopez"
There is good authority for stating that the
only information upon this subject possessed
by the Department of State is that intelligence
reached Rio de Janeiro on the 7th of April of
the arrival at Asuncion Of the United States
Minister resident to Paraguay. One account
r ceived there read as follows: "The American
Minister has escaped from Lopez and is now
under the protection of the Brazilian authori-
ties in Asuncion."
