TAR-The general aspect of the
trade during the past week has been
more encouraging and the market has
gradually assumed a more healthy
form. Early in the week very little
disposition was manifested in the
market and b;:yers were able to
purchase the receipts at former prices,
but later in the week the receipts were
small, and it'll stock reduced almost
to a Eractinu. comparatively, and the
bulk oG },re sent stock being principally
in exporters hands, Il spirit OF compe-
tition was aroused between buyers,
and with tins advantage to work on,
sellers obtained an advance of 10 cents.
| To-day, ut the close of our writing,
the market is firm at So 10, with an
upward tendency. The receipts for
the week, 4S7 bbls., against sos bbls.
for last week, show a falling of of 321
bbls The exports, ,1SO bbls., against
| G92 bbls.. for last week, show an in
crease of -fSS bbls. The stock in
market is 9SS bbls., against 2, 1S9 bbls.

No. 2-Only very light enquiry has
existed for this grade during the week,
and transactions were Oh very limited
scale. s-
No. There is only moderate de-
mand also for this grade; the wants
now being entirely for the lower grades,
buyers do not seem to interest them
selves to effect purchases, while sellers
are equally backward in making adj
vances.
Pales-For the finer grades of Pale
the demand is good, but the views of
sellers are so much above buyers that
very few care to purchase. The lower
grades of Pale are in good request, and
we note several sales at fair quotations.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE-T vol
ume of business in Spirits Turpentine
was unusually large early in the pres
2nt week and transactions were fully
i 200 casks per day, but subsequently
the interest manifested for future de-
livery gave way to dull letha1gy and
during the middle of the week the
market assumed dull and downward
form, but subsequently it rallied and
the decline was gained by a CORES
ponding advance, which has been
maintained up to the close of our writ
ing to-day. Futures this week have
been unusually free and sales for Au-
gust delivery have reached as high as
~ cents, while spot sales have come in
largely for their share Of the transac-
tions. The first day Friday) the
market opened at IL cents, but at the
Produce Exchange" buyers were bid
ding freely and an advance of ] cent
was gained. Nothing of Importance
transpired Saturday nor up to Monday
evening, when the dullness alluded to
above set in and a decline of cent
was conceded. Tuesday the tone was
tirmer and the decline OF Monday was
gained by corresponding advance
Wednesday the market was steady,
aud to-day Thursday closes steady at
II ! cents. The receipts for the week
5,504 casks, against 5,210 casks for last
week, shows an increase of 800 casks.

at the time Of our last report, We
find very little to record rs having

the week the market was active, but
the purchases were principally to

The Suppression of Religious Cor
pOratlOns in Italy.

The measure to effect this object has
passed both Houses of Parliament, and
now awaits the royal sanction which it
will probably receive, Among its pro
visions at the last advice were the fol-
lowing, viz: The converts are to be
taken possession of within the year,
but one or two buildings may be reser-
we'd for the use of those whose age or
unhappy condition renders SHELTER of
the kind absolutely Necessary. The
property O., th ,sa tonvents is to be con-
vertedy into State funds, buthospitals,
libraries, schools, etc, can, under certain
circumstances, be taken possession OF
by the State, but are to be used by it
for the purposes which they now serve.
-Four hundred thousand francs are ta
be given to the Pope with -Seith he is
to keep up his GeMtions with foreign
| religious .'Eodies. Should he refuse
| this sum it is to go to some existing
religious body. The Jesuit General,
| the only one chosen for life, is not al
lowed to remain in the house of his
order. The peculiarity of this contro-
versy in Italy has been that public
sentiment has been throughout forcing
he government to act against its will.
