'MONEY MARKET. —MONDAY. Inactivity is very prevalent in th) Stuck u-i.1 Share Markets. This Las been fur. her unpriaeutfru by tbc inclination of the dealers to a>v.-ui issue and of the New French Loan, previous to entering into fresh engagements of magnitude. Neverlhekss. a firm tone is apparent, and prices inve r,itbel. au upward tendency, the great prosperity oi the cnuutry as showlI by the revenue returns published on Saturday, the con- tinned weekly increase in the railway traffic returns, und the great ea;iness of the money market, together with the prospect of an abundant harrest, all being cirenm stances to impart strength, and eventually to materially enhance the value of general securities. In the Foreign Market there is Lut litilo fresh business going forward, the only feature beiug the enquiry manifest for the Six par Cent. Uruguay Loitu. which, on large purchases concluded, has advanced to 7Gi buyers, or a rise of f in other descriptions, beyond arfati of A in Old Paraguay Loau, there is little or no change. English Railway Shares for the most part are firm, but in one or two special cases, ewing to realisations, a small reaction is manifest. American Government Securities are supported at the recent improvement. Erie Railway Shares, after opening with rather a dull aspect, have been freely purchasel, and have risen to -i5! buyers. English Government Securities exhibit strength, Consols and New Three per Cents, being in request, at a fractional improvement. Miscellaneous Shares are quiet; Hudson's Bay Shares, however, have attracted some attention, and improved. Joint Stock Bank Shares are wholly neglected. There is a rather large dealing going forward in the Bonds of the Iquique and LaNoria Pizagua and Sal de Obispe and Junction Railways, Peru.-and the price is firm at 11 to 1 prem.

The cattle trade has been rather quieter to-day prices in some instances showing signs of weakness. There has been a moderate supply of beasts on sale, including some good Lincolnshire stock. The demand h3.il been less active, and prices have been 2d. per 81b. lower, the best breeds selling at 5s. 10s. to 6s. per 81b.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS THE. QUARTER'S REVFNTE. The Times observes that the return of the revenue for the quarter which ended on Sunday confirms the tale that is told in our advertising columns, in the Stock Exchange lists, and by all who go into the city to buy and sell. The course of business is just now at high tide. We are passing through a phaso) of abundant prosperity. Orders have been flowing in upon our manufacturers faster than they can be executed. The Board of Trade returns shew that the amount of commodities imported and exported con- tinues to increase beyond all precedent. The Clearing- house total of the half-year is larger than it has ever been before. The traffic receipts of railways grew week after week. Certain results noccessarily follow. Railway stocks have for some time been steadily improv- ing in value. The shares in business companies have shewn a similar movement; and, as a matter of course, these flattering results, coinciding with a large develop- ment, of trade, have brought into the market-fre, indeed, daily bringing into the market—numberless new projects to tempt the avidity of the capitalist. Is there any use in hinting that the pice is becoming somewhat too rapid ? We fear little or none. Apart altogether from irregular and accidental items of increase, the revenue. of the past quarter is more than a million in excess of the revenue of the same period of last year. There never was a Budget less ambitious than that for the present financial year, and it is satisfactory to think that it may be rewarded with the success due to modest merit. We do not lose sight of the risks which have to be run between now and next ApriL The harvest will certainly be late, and, though its pIOS. pectslare at present fair, there is a possibility that it will prove deficient. We cannot tell on the 1st of July in a backward year what may be its yield. Xor can any one predict the issue of the struggle between employers and employed which has stopped the building trade of London in all its branches. But if the genius of common sense prevail, and the harvest be favourable, Mr. Lowe mar an- ticipate an overflowing Exchequer. THE ALABAMA QUESTION*. American rumour assures us, remarks the Standard, that before even the Indirect Claims were condemned a settle- ment of the Direct had been arrived at; that in fact the abandonment of the one was the price of a favourable decision on the other. We heard this, from Transatlantic sources, long ago; and now rye are told in one quarter that two of the Arbitrators have pronounced themselves privately in favour of the DirectClaims-an act which would justify us, were the story true, in demanding of their Governments their immediate recall, or in withdrawing on the instant from the Arbitration; and in another quarter that the terms and amount of the verdict have already been ad- justed, and that the arguments to come are merely a solemn farce. It must be remembered that on the Ameri- can side the whole matter has degenerated into a pecu- niary speculation that the claims have been bought up by a ring of jobbers of the Fisk and Gould stamp, who rely on their political influence to extort the whole of their demand witR a handsome profit; that these men are able to pay for information and for politi- cal services, and would hardly have preferred the abandonment of the Indirect Claims tap-the failure of the Arbitration and the chances of future negotiation with a Government so imbecile as ours, unless they had reason to believe that the verdict would be in their favour. On the other hand, we must also remember that these same men are thoroughly un- scrupulous, with large influence in the press, and interests to serve by false information. Be the truth how it may, there is sufficient reason for grave anxiety, and sufficient suspicion to deprive the Arbitration of all its moral weight.; and we cannot but feel that, not only as a matter of English policy, but in the interests of neutrality and in those of international arbitration, the Treaty of Wash- ington, and, indeed, our whole departure from the original policy of Lord Russell, has been a blunder and a disaster. The Telegraph says that with diplomatic obstacles now so wholly swept away, with the Co art entering upon steady business, and with the key-note oflts duties and objects so admirably sounded by its high-minded chief, all is indeed going well. Even the tedious and more than once well-nigh hopeless negotiations of the past four months aTe no longer to be regretted. Count Sclopis made an admirable remark upon this point; he observed that there was no reason to be sorry because the great case of America v. England had reached the Arbitral Court only after so much agitation, and so many conflicting communication3 .^ike all right ideas, this noolest of inspirations— the idea of submitting the -,(Ie and strength of two mighty empires to t^' majesty of law-—MS gained by delay. r^'Profited hJ opposition, bv ^^je. bv mali°T]vi~' by cynical scepticism- Before << -Srteenth" had dawned upo*- l^ake Leman, the —idiple of international equity a*d already made two immense conquests. One wa? 1D respect of the patient and enlightened temper wb"11 had been revealed as exist- ing in the two people" I the other was the interest and anxious goodwill auelril towards our mutual effortfc by the public op^cn of Europe. Now that we are out of the wood," we can afford to look back and be glad that the earliest enterprise of arbitration had to be made in such un- explored ground and through the gloom of such heavy shadows. It gave us time to find out that statesmen wero not in advance of populations in the matter, but that the moral sensa of mankind had grown sufficiently strong to keep the old fierce Bobadil moods quiet, or nearly so; and to ensure for us in the press of Europe a just support, when we protested against the consequential claims as fatal to arbitral appeals. It is not merely an instance of all's well that ends well" over which we have now reason to rejoice but we may be actually glad of our very diffi- culties and despondencies to-day, because the issue of them proves their value as tests, and because it is once again clear, in the light of this happy change inaugurated at last in history, that good is for ever stronger than evil. THE BUILDING STRIKE. Well-meant efforts to bring the master builders and their workmen to a friendly settlemont of their differences are still being made, says tne Post, but, as might be ex- pected by those who look below the surface, without nny pracfical effect. Mediation Jan produce but little effect, it is to be feared. If, indeed, the dispute were, in its causes, of recent origin, it might be different. And if the great fundamental In.w of demnnd regelating supply were on both hands -is the dominant consideration wnich should regulate the relations between employe)- and employed, there might be Setter hope of a satisfactory and speedy termination to the difference. However much the public might be expected to sympathise philanthropically with a movement for shortening the hours of physical toil, they can scarcely be'looked to to cheerfully countenance a movement having for its end a very great enhance- ment of the already exceptionally heavy price they pay for all building operations, and probably they will not be Sony to learn that the founding of a London company of builders on co-operative principles has just been pro- posed. This view, moreover, will be strengthened when it is known that in other countries the workmen labour considerably longer in the day and receive much less re- muneration, whether computation be made for time or for work done. In fact, the international aspect of the case must be admitted, and must operate in several respects and this consideration, it is to be hoped, will ultimately, if not just at present, bo instrumental in bringing about a satisfactory and tolerably permanent* settlement of the labour question. But ere this consummation be arrived at it seems but too probable that the secret springs of action' at work must cause the question to pass through many embarrassing and deplorable phases. s THE ALBERT COMPANY. V The Daily News thinks no one will say that the time which the House of Comnjons gave to Mr. Cave's motion on the affairs of the Albert and European Life Assurance Companies, on Friday evening, was ill-bestowed. The practical question now before Parliament is whether the shareholders and policyholders of the European Society shall enjoy advantages such we have seen were extended to thotfe of the Albert by the Act of last Session. A Bill for effecting that object, and constituting a special authority similar to that exercised by Lord Cairns, is now before the House of Lords for second reading. We can hardly suppose that the House of Lords will re- nounce the principle which governed its decision last year. Then, acting on the ordinary maxims of common sense, it carried its views of expediency into an unknown field. The result has abundantly vindicated its wisdom. Now its intuitive judgment has the support and sanction of a year's experience. We cannot doubt that the brilliant success of the Albert arbitration will be regarded as a decisive argument in favour of giving the advantages of the same mode of settlement to the untortunate persons involved in the ruin of the European Company; and this done, Parliament may, perhaps, see its way to pass some measure for putting Life Assurance generally on a footing of greater security in this country. —.

It is currently reported, and the report is gene- rally credited by many who may be presumed to°know something of official intentions at Whitehall, that it is part of Mr. Goschen's scheme, upon the removal of the esta- blishment for the higher class education of naval officers from the present Naval College at Portsmouth to Groen- wich, to remove the naval cadets and the educational staff from the Britannia harbour training ship to the College thus vacated by the superior officers. At the second of the National Music Meetings at the Crystal Palace on Saturday, the first prize, thirty guineas, awarded to a Miss Handcock. Bliss Enrick, a young lady, who was so near the goal that she had three luccessive competitions with her successful rival (in the same songs) before a decision could be arrived at, received marked commendation. The judges for the bases and baritones-Sir Sterndale Bennett, Signor Arditi, and Mr. Arthur Sullivan gave the prize to Mr. J. L. Wadmore, a pupil of the Royal Academy of Music. To-day there is to be a choral trial of societies not exceeding 200 voices, and a trial of military bands and volunteer bands; on Thursday competitions for the "Challenge Prize" (91,000), for choirs of 500 voices; a trial of choral societies, for men's voices, and of bands of regiments of tho Line. On Saturday the ceremony of dis- 1, tributing the prizes is to be held at three o'clock. A con- cert will follow on each occasion. A STORY OF THE SI:A--American papers state that the Agassiz expedition, at the latest accounts, was off Sandy Point, Patagonia; and that among the scientific curiosities noted by some members of the party were immense quantities of kelp. This is the largest known alga or seaweed, and grows on these coasts in from six to 20 fathoms of water, in vast beds, warning the mariner to beware of a near approach, unless he wishes to be entangled in an inextricable network, It throws up from the oceanic depths stems of imme length, some of them from, 700ft. to 1,-000ft., the «"•<■ development reached by any member c v now in existence.

ciE ATHANASIAN CREED. Lowt Sblftesbury writes to the Times to say that the declaration in favour of the recital of the Athanauian Creed being no longer compulsory has already obtained 5,593 signatures, among which may be numbered those of 81 peers and members of the House of Commons, 141 offi- cers.of the.Army and Navy, 180 justices of the peace, la mayors of cities and boroughs, 52 masters and assistant masters of public schools, 29 bankers, 23G barristers and solicitors, 129 of the medical profession, 10 judges, and 101 chuich wardens. His lordship says:—"I will mention only a few names, in alphabetical order, as indicating the character of tho memorial: —Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., the Earl of Chichester, the Right Hon. Hugh Childers, M.P., Sir John Coleridge, At- torney-General; the Duke of Devonshire; Lords Ebury, Eversley, Fortescue, Granville, Grey; Sir G. Grey, M.P., Sir F. Grant, P.E.A., Sir William Gull, M.D., Lords Har- rowby and Halifax, Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., the Earl of Kimberley, Lord Lawrence, Sir J. Lefevre, Colonel Loyd Lindsay, M.P., Lord Malmesbury, the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Robert Mont- gomery, Lords Overstone, Ossington, Portman, Field-Mar- shal Sir G. Pollock, Lord Sandon, Admiral Sartorius, Ad- miral of the Fleet, Lords Stanhope, Wolverton, and Westminster. Of the judges, we have Sir J. Byles, Justice of Common Pleas; the Lord Chief Justice Bovill; Sir T. Chambers, Common Serjeant; the Right Hon. Russell Gurney, Recorder of London; Lord Justice James, Lord Chief Baron Kelly, Lord Ponzance, Baron Pigott, and Lord Romilly. This result has been obtained, in one month, by a very small machinery—nothing more, in fact, than a temporary office, whence circulars were issued and where answers were received. Many have refused to sign the paper on the ground that the proposition did not go to the removal of the Creed altogether. The Times, in its comments on the letter of Earl Shaftes- bury, says:—The support his Lordship has received affords evidence, which it will be impossible to disregard, of tho prevalent sentiment among the intelligent Laity. Signa- tures in such cases should be weighed as well as counted, and by this measurement the present Declaration must be regarded as ione of the weightiest memorials that could hue been presented on the subject. 1

THE BISHOP OF PETER130ROUGH ON RELIGIOUS BELIEF. In the course of his sermon preached at the consecration of the Bishop of Trinidad, on Saturday, from the text, "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him," Colossians ii. 6, Dr. Magee said: Why was it that Christians were so anxious for the faith, and fenced it with so many creeds and formularies? Why was it, it was also asked, that they cried out in such dread at the first sound of heresy and the first word of unbelief ? The answer was not very hard to seek. There was in truth no real, but only a seeming, opposition between those two states of mind. So far from being opposite to each other, one was a necessary result of the other. Our fear was the result of our faith. Webelievod that the Word and kingdom of God were divine, and for that very reason we trembled for their future, because we knew that what was divine was not the natural, growth and outcoming of the earth. Heavenly things in this fallen world of ours were but exotic plants, and a needed careful culture and tendence, and we knew that in the mysterious providence of God the culture and the tendence had been committed to human hands. He wished to speak on that occasion of one safeguard less frequently thought of, perhaps, than any other, but a really vital and important one—namely, that which the Apostle gave to the Colossian converts, who he thought were in danger of being led away by philosophy and vam deceit. The apostle entreated and warned them lest any man should beguile them with enticing words. He told them that the aetivity and the earnestness of the Chris- tian life should be no small safeguard for the Christian faith. He told them to practise their belief, and to walk in the power of their creed, in order that they might preserve it from heresy, rtilosophy, and corruption. He (the Bishop) asked his bear-we whether they had suffi- ciently studied the history of the 'creed that had been given to the Church of cnu' own tm-, Not until the beginning of the fourth century was this' c**«d of -tho Church given to us. For more than three hundred years I tho Church has steadily prepared itself for the creed, win- I ning disciples from many races, and warring against divers and manifold heresies. The creed was not the uttcrings or opinions of one small, narrow, national Church; but it was the witness of many churches, whose representatives bore testimony to the faith they had acquired. It was because the Church had been doing her Master's work that the creed was given to us. Though it was not possible for the Church to add to the creed, it had Been her privilege and duty to prove its value and efficacy for many centuries. If the Church had been con- fined to any one portion of the earth, or to one race, then but a small portion of the creed would oractically have been proved. There had been in our own day, or rather in days that were happily passing away, a time when tho Church in this country seemed to have shrunk within the narrow limits of our own island; when we seemed scarcely to realise the idea that there was a larger world in which the faith should be spread. Then, as men came to deal only with what they believed to be the errors of their day and their race. they heard such language as this :—" What is the use of these old ajiH obsolete documents that are meant only to deal with obsolete heresies; why should the Church retain the cumbrous weanons of the past ?" But as the Church had girded herself in our day to do, her Master's work, as she had gone out to conquer the Outlying territory of heathen- ism, or had won back to Christ those portions of Christendom that, by the neglect of the past, were almost lapsing into heathenism, she had learned the truth that these heresies wore not obsolete, and that these dangers were not imaginary that there was no document of the faith, no true doctrine of the Church, that she could afford to part with; and as one by one each church brought out that portion of tho creed that its special necessities taught it to know the value of, the whole Church was recognising its senso of tho inestimable value of every one of the documents of the faith. Our Church, in God's good providence, had been preserved from that most fatal heresy into which a portion of modern Christendom had fallen—namely, that the deposit cf the faith could be held in one riiiii's handr,, who claimed presumptuously to guide it unerringly. The faith that we believed in, tho cree is tnat held, were dispensed abroad. Not to the Church of England only, but to the sister Churches )vho were in communion with her, was given the custody of this creed; and if in God's providence—which God forbid in His mercy—the Church of England should ever deny, or even forget to proclaim, any one of the articles of the croed, there would surely be from some sister Church a voice of sisterlike rebuke saying to her, who was about to waste or to cast away this precious thing. Destroy it not." As the Church grew and spread, as she gave herself to tho work her Master had given her to do, of filling the whole world with His faith, it would strengthen the safeguards for the purity and maintenance of the faith. ===== i

The Bishop of Chester, when speaking at the Liverpool Collegiate Institute last week, referred to the recommendation of the Endowed Schools Commis- sioners that the study of Greek snould. be eliminated in some of the schools of the country. His Lordship said tho two great English schools had shewn no inclination to act upon the proposal, and he quite agreed with them, and trusted that the highest classical education would logn continue to bo given. Although the financial returns of the late meet- ing of the Royal Horticultural Society at Birmingham, at which Prince Arthur was present, are not yet completo, it is known that £ 2,476 was taken at the gates, viz., £ 429 on Tuesday and IVednesday. ;Cgoo on Thursday, £ 561 on Friday, and £ 586 on Saturday. The amount of tickets sold is estimated at £ 2,500. A. portion of the receipts is to be handed to the charities of the town. From eighty to ninety thousand persons visited the show during the five days it was open.

Mr. Armistead has touched up the figures on his two sides of the basement, and otherwise improved them since the occasion of the private view granted to the press last week. The lower boarding round the steps will be taken away in a few days, when the public will have a better opportunity of judging of the merits of the numerous works of sculptors and painters round this huge monument of gold and marble. The monument when completed will have cost £ 120.000, £ 50,000 of which has been voted by Parliament. (CENTRAL NEWS TELEGRAM.) The Queen returned to Windsor by the 11.40 a.m. train from Paddington.

THE PRISON CONGRESS IN LONDON. To-morrow evening the Earl of Carnarvon will deliver the opening address, before tho International Congress, on the "Repression of Crime (including Penal and Reforma- tory Treatment)," in the Dining-hall of the Middle Teniplo. The Congress will be principally composed of two classes of delegates, namely, official members designated by Governments, and non-ofticial members invited by the National Committee of each particular country, on account of their special knowledge of. or 'interest in, the subjects to be considered. The Congress will t;it daily, except Sundays, rt eleven, and will conclude on July 13. The proceedings aie freed to take place partly in. sections and partly in full meeting, the latter to be held every third day. The United States Government, from whom the proposal to hold such a con- gress emanates, have named twenty commissioners, ninny of whom have already arrived. Among the commissioners from the Continental countries are Count Sollahub from Russia, Iriivy Councillor Steinmann from Germany, the Director- General of Prisons from Sweden, H:non Mackay, from Holland, and M. Stevens, Inspector- General of Prisons in Belgium. The Assembly in Versailles appointed a commission of fiftton of its members in March last, which has been sitting re- gularly since. Several of these menibei-s ui-o expected to be in attendance. Judge Leavitt, of the United States, Governor Haines, the Hon. Mr. Chandler, and others of the American Commissioners have arrived. All the continental Governmients have prepared accounts of their prison systems^' and many of these have been printed in large numbers, for the use of the members. The United States Government has, we believe, sent over 2.0UO of its re- ports, 5,000 having been printed at the) nations.l erip-mse. The first class of papers to be considered will involve dis- cussions on Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Preventive Police," including such questions as o.\tradi- tion, the length of sentences, the desirability of abolishing eortain punishments, &c., &c. The second class of subjects will relate solely to the punishments of old and youag offenders, and the third, the treatment of discharged prisoners, is a matter that will involve contro- versy on Refuges, emigration, and aid to discharged convicts. The Congress will also consider Penitentiary Systems," their general advantages, and the benefit or evil arising from the cellular," separate," and other schemes. On one of the evenings during the meeting an address will be delivered on The Life and Labours of John Howard," the speaker being the Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New York.

THE BRITISH GRENADIERS AT BOSTON. The gigantic Musical Festival at Boston appears to have been a great success. Not a single person whosn presence was essential failed to appear, an., tho Doxton Advertiser calls especial attention to the faithful fulfilment of every engagement. Yet it required "tho services of musicians from at least three countries of Europe, who had left their homes and crossed the seas expressly to sing, and play, and conduct at this Jubilee; it depleted the theatrical orchestras of half the cities-in America; it included a band in the service of the Government of the United States, and a score of other Bands from the cities and towns of New England; it brought into requisition twenty thousand voices from all parts of the country." The reception of the band of the British Grenadier Guards at Boston has been most enthusiastic. the Queen's express desire, it was said, the band played popular airs as it marched through the streets on its arrival, and received a complete ovation In fact the crowds thronged upon it to an inconvenient degree. The Boston Advertiser of the 19th says:—"The heartiest cheers given to a typical English military band; the most enthu- siastic chorus of Americans singing 'God Save the Queen' the reciprocal courtesy of a per. formance of our national air by a British band, wildly applauded as it was by the audience—all this does not settle the Alabama claims, nor bring us any nearer to the settlement. But it is an indicatio.not to bQ overlooked of the cordial feeling subsisting between the two peoples, notwithstanding their differences; and strengthens as much as such means can do it, the ties of friendship between us." Mr. Godfrey is said to be much pleased with the cordiality of his reception, as well he may be if the serio-comic description of the New York Ifei-a Id is to be trusted. Speaking of the "English" day of the Jubilee, it says:—Every one who left the Coliseum this evening came away but with one idea, that they had heard only Godfrey. Five times this bearskin-hatted band attempted to escape encores, and five times the frantic audience called them back. The reception of the English band was something to be remembered for ever, and, yet the enthusiasm was but a faint idea of that which followed. The bill spoke of the English National Anthem, God save the Queen," solo, the third verse, by Madame Erminia Rudersdorff, with full chorus, band of the Grena- dier Guards, organ, orchestra, military band, and cannon accompaniment. What a mountain, but what a stnall mouse! Some fiendish Fenian, envious of British glory, was at the organ, we believe, and made a'.charge on chorus, orchestra, and conductor, like an old-fashioned Stonewall Jackson's Bank movement, and knocked the British "National Anthem" into "pye"—excuse printers' lan- guage. The entire thing became chaos, and resembled more the stampede of the 11th Corps at Chancellorsville than a well-ordered body of musicians. Madame Ruders- dorff shared in the panic, and gave forth the words and notes of the third Terse like a dyspeptic automaton. She made an absolute fiasco on the occasion. Then to retrieve the honour of. his country Dan Godfrey mounted the dizzy heights of the rostruni, and repeated the Anthem with his own incomparable baftd. The result of the battle was not lost, notwithstanding the preceding stampede, and the redcoats fought bravely. May they be soon decorated, and may their shadows never grow less! A tumultuous encore brought indomitable Dan God- frey again to the fore. This time he responded with the 'Star Spangled Banner.' Here came in the artillery ac- comp-niment. At this moment a general saturnalia was inaugurated. Every man, wonfan, and child rose in a body, not only in the audience, but on the stage, and acted as if each individual was deaifented. A couple more encores brought this extraordinary scene to an end. Godfrey and his band has so far reaped all the musical honours of the Jubilee." .,J.

The Channel Fleet has arrived at Belfast. A ball was given to the officers last evening. THE PLEASURES OF FIIIAING. -Those. holiday- makers who are at a loss how to employ their time. will do well to persue the article on Fishing and Fishers in the Gentleman's Magazine. If they do not agree with its observations, they must admire the heartiness with which the writer enters into his subject. According to his defi- nition a week spent in salmon-fishing effects the most ex- traordinary transformation in the physical and moral con- dition of the fisher. The poor worn and spiritless creature who entered on the task, finds a springiness in his step, and a cheeriness in his voice to which for the last six months he has been a stranger. He could dispose of three such men as his former self, in a pugilistic encounter, and -do an amount of mental work in an hour that would have occupied him six, and do it better into the bargain. It would doubtless appear high treason to his beloved pas- time, to suggest to the eloquent exponent of its merits, that a thorough change of scene and the pursuit of some exciting object of interest might work great wonders in the slave of routine, without having recourse to the mys- teries of angling, HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-PrPil, BLOOD.—"When the blood is pure, its circulation perfect, and the nerves in good order, we are well.

BRITISH MERCHANT SHIPPING. Tables shewing the progress of British merchant shipping have just been published. They are thirty-four in number, and include a wide range of informa- tion, from a .table of the tonnage of shipping entered and cleared since 1838 to the statement of the means of saving life from shipwreck now at work round our coasts. The trading statistics are highly im- portant. An idea of the rate of progression in our mer- cantile marine may be gathered from the fact that tho tonnage of British shipping entered and cleared in the United Kingdom in 1839 was 4,522,260 tons; in 1849, 8,152,557; in 1859 (exclu- sive of Government transports and stores) 11,614,671; and in 1869, 21,355,939. There were on the register on the 31st of December, 1870, 25,643 sailing and steam vessels. The number of seamen serving in these vessels in 1870 was 195,962, of whom 18,011 were foreigners. In 1851 it was 36,144, of whom 5,793 were foreigners. The sums paid by the Admiralty in respect of seamen volunteering into the Royal Navy vary consider- ably. In 1855 they amounted to £ 74, in 1859 to' 1:1,180, in 1868 tol £ 236. and in 1870 to 16. The total number of lifeboats in 1856 was 124, of which 40 were under the control of tho Lifeboat Institution, and 84 of private persons. In 1871 the National Lifeboat Institution fleet amounted to 236, while the private boats were onli 31. The total sum granted by the Board of Trade in respect to the construc- tion of lifeboats, the payments of crews, rewards to fishermen, &c., amounted, from 1855 to 1871, to £ 54,945. The number of rocket and mortar stations, which in 1852 was 168, was, in 1871, 281. In 1857 the service and apparatus were transferred to .the Board of Trade and the first payment was £ 2,751. In 1870 it was £ 10,280; in 1871, £ 7,221. The lives imperilled, saved, and lost in 1856, were respectively 2,764, 2,243, and 521. In 1871 we find under the same headings, the amounts of 4,962, 4,336, and 623. It will thus be observed in testi- tnony to the increased efficiency of our lifeboat Service, and other appliances, that while the number of lives Imperilled has increased from 2,764 to 4,962, the number of lives lost has scarcely risen more than a hundred, materially altering the proportion.
