SOLD BY THE TRADE IN ALL PARTS. Prepared by JAS. Epps & Co., Homoeopathic Chemists, London. In the Court of Queen's Bench last week Mr Munster, the defeated candidate at Cashel, sought to obtain a criminal information against the publisher of the Sheffield Independent for libel. In petitioning against the return of Mr O'Beirne Mr Munster claimed the seat, but did not get it because he was guilty of bribery through his agents, though the judge acquitted him of personal knowledge. The Independent commented upon the matter, and pretty plainly intimated that Mr Munster spent money corruptly. The Lord Chief Justice said that taking zC8,000 to Cashel, and spending 2 W in three months, without any expla- nation, gave the writer a right, although the judge pro- nounced Mr Munster not personally responsible for the bribery, to express his dissatisfaction with that finding, because a man did not take £ 8,000 into a borough and spend 1:6,000 within three months, without having some me object in view. A public writer had a perfect right to say that the judge's finding should have been the other way. The applicant's affidavits were much too unsatisfactory on which to grant a rule for a criminal information. Rule refused. BREAKFAST.—A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.—The Ciril Service Gazette has the following interesting remarks:— There are very few simple articles of food which can boast so many valuable and important dietary properties as cocoa. While acting on the nerves as a gentle stimulant, it provides the body with some of the purest elements of nutrition, and at the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the digestive organs. These beneficial effects depend in a great measure upon the manner of its pre- paration, but of late years such close attention has been given to the growth and treatment of cocoa, that there is no difficulty in securing it with every useful quality fully developed. The singular success which Mr Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa, has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. Far and wide the reputation of Epps's Cocoa has spread by the simple force of its own extraordinary merits. Med- ical men of all shades of opinion have agreed in recommend- ing it as the safest and most beneficial article of diet for per- sons of weak constitutions. This superiority of a particular mode of preparation over all others is a remarkable proof of the great results to be obtained from little causes. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestionand nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a deli- cately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hun- dreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.'

LIVERPOOL CORN.—TUESDAY. Good attendance. Fair consumptive trade in Wheat, at THREEPENCE PER CENTAL OVER rates of this day week. Fiour not active but late prices supported. Oats and Oatmeal steady.

Oats, 2,755 qrs. Rye. English Wheat up 5,229 qrs., foreign 7,086 qrs. There was a very short supply on the Kentish and Essex stands this morn- ing. This with some improvement in the country emboldened factors to ask more money; but millers declined paying over last week's rates, which however, were fully maintained: in for- eign there was but little passing at the previous quotations, or an occasional advance. Country Flour 23,935 sacks; foreign 1,851 sacks. The firmness in wheat gave a tone to the flour trade, and Norfulks as well as other country marks were fully as dear. In foreign the demand was retail, at full prices. No change was noted in town flour. Maize 5,759 qrs. There has been quite a re-action in this grain, at fully Is. advance. British Barley 1,161 qrs., foreign, only 876 qrs. The small demand for English malting was met 9t last week's rates, but all descriptions of foreign, more especially grinding, were up Is. per qr. The Malt trade was quiet, at previous price". English Oats 546 qrs., Scotch 21 qrs., foreign 15,068 qrs. With the falling-off in the arrivals, the market was firm, at 6d. per qr. improvement. Native Beans 399 qrs.. foreign 63 qrs. No change of value was noted. English Peas 136 qrs., foreign 135 qrs In the little trade passing, rites were unchanged. Linseed 1,906 qrs. Exports none. Prices of seed and cake were much as previously.

Beans supported late currencies. DON CASTER, SATURDAY.—There was only a moderate show of wheat, but it was quite equal to the demand, and the trade ruled slow at an advance of 6d. to Is. per load of three bushels.

CATTLE.
CATTLE. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAv.-Smal1 show of beef on offer, and the trade ruled slow, at prices varying from 6d. to 7d. per lb. Mutton, of which the supply was moderate, changed hands at late rates. Small show of pork, which made 6!d. to 7d. Veal scarce, and very dear. PETERBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—The attendance of buyers and sellers was fair, and the show of beasts tolerable. Business was somewhat quiet, and prices were in sellers' favour. Prime qua- lities of mutton supported 7d. to 8d. per lb. Calves a middling show, and fetched high quotations. Pork, 6d. to 7d. DONCASTER, SATURDAY.—There was a fair supply of beasts and a moderate attendance of buyers. Not so many sheep shown as last week, and they met with only a slow inquiry at about the prices of last week. Few pigs were shown, but the supply was fully equal to the demand, there being very few buyers present. There were at market 331 beasts, 44 calves, 452 sheep and lambs, and 274 pigs. METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.-The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 14,855 head. The supplies of foreign stock were heavy. Both beasts and sheep sold heavily, at reduced quotations. Increased supplies of Beasts were received from our own grazing districts, and some good serviceable animals were included in the supply. The trade was quiet, and prices were 2d. per 81b lower than on Mon- day last. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s. 6d. to 5s. 8d. per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re- ceived about 1.200 Scots and crosses; from other parts of Eng- land, about 750 various breeds; from Scotland, 100 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 50 oxen. The market was well supplied with Sheep. Prime breeds were in request, and the prices realised were 2d. per 81b higher than on this day se'nnight otherwise, the demand was heavy, at barely late rates. The best Downs and half-breds (clipped) were quoted at 5s. 10d. to 6s. per 81b. Lambs met a fair sale, at from 6s. to 7s. 8d. per 81b. Calves— the show of which was moderate-moved off slowly, on former terms. Prime small Pigs changed hands freely but large hogs were neglected. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The stock on offer consisted of 2,300 beasts and 7,705 sbeep. There was a very large market for the time of the year about 900 head of cattle more than this time last year. A large show of sheep and lambs. The prices of beasts were about 60s. per head higher, and sheep about 7s.; sales good. Beasts were selling at very high prices, the numbers being few; middling and inferior very plentifal, which met a slow sale at lower prices. A very sharp demand for sheep, and all sold. A good clearance made at the close. Stock healthy. Prices: Best beasts, Std. to Sid.; second best, 7d. to 8d.; inferior, 5d. to Bid.; sheep, 71d. to lOd.; lamb, 9Jd. to lid. per lb. METROPOLITAN, THURSDAY.—Moderate supplies of beasts were on sale. The trade was quiet, on former terms. The mar- ket was fairly supplied with sheep. Prime breeds were in mode- rate request, at full prices; otherwise the demand was heavy. Lambs sold quietly, at from 6s. to 7s. 6d. per 81b. Calves were disposed of at late prices. Pigs were dull, but not lower. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—We received a smaller number of beasts on offer this day than on Thursday last; trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations. Sheep and lambs a very large time-of-year supply; trade quiet. Calves, a smaller supply than on Thursday last. Fat pigs, a smaller supply.

MISCELLANEOUS.I
MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.-The arrivals last week from Ireland were 147 firkins Butter and 3,148 bales Bacon, and from foreign ports 23,142 casks, &c., Butter, and 1,968 bales Bacon. Irish Butter is still neglected in this market. Foreign further declined 4s. to 6s. per cwt., and at the decline there was a fair demand. The Bacon market ruled quiet, with a fair sale for best Waterford sizeable meat at 77s. to 78s. on board. Cork and Limerick very slow. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—Trade continues very quiet, the demand for both home and continental growths being very limited, except in the case of fine grades, which still meet with fair attention. Americans, of which the supply at present is rather plentiful, are in steady demand. Continental markets report no alteration worthy of notice. New York letters to the 28th ult. report the market as very dull.

Quo- tations remain unchanged." LONDON SEED, MONDAY.—Little English Cloverseed con- tinues to be offered, and none wanted. Useful foreign qualities of red supported prices, to hold over. White parcels not much wanted, and prices unvaried. Trefoils were offered on previous terms. White Mustardseed for sowing was in fair demand, at full ra'es. Tares were scarce, and fully as dear. Canaryseed creeps up in value. Not much English appearing. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.—There has been very little ani- mation in the English wool market, owing to the decline which has taken place in the value of Co'onial produce. Prices are lower on the average, although we do not alter our quotations. Much of the Colonial produce now on sale is in a very dirty con- dition, and has been badly prepared for market. It is not antici- pated therefore that its depreciation will have any permanent effect upon the price of English wool. CURRENT PRICES OF ENGLISH WOOL. B. d. to 8. d.

THE WELSH IRON, TIN-PLATE, AND COAL TRADES. The ironmasters in this district have entered into no fresh engagements of importance during the past week, although there are several purchasers willing to enter into large contracts if some concessions were made respecting prices. Of this, how- ever, there is no probabi itv-at least for the present-as several of the leading firms have their make sold for the next three months; but if they would give way slightly respecting price, there is no doubt they would shortly obtain sufficient orders to keep their works fairly employed during the remainder of the year. Excepting in the rail department, it cannot be said that any vitality is evinced, the sale for bars and other miscellaneous descriptions being below tbe average. The principal buyers are for the United States and Russian markets, and inquiries from the Continental and some other of the foreign markets are steadily increasing, and promising well tor the future prospects of the trade. There is but little improvement to note in the home trade, buyers evincing no eagerness to enter into transac- tions. In plates, business is still quiet, although there is some improvement in the iron shipbuilding trade. The pig-iron trade is duller than it has been for some weeks past, consequent upon a temporary decrease in the demand. Tin-plate makers are well placed for orders, and if the com- petition is not increased by the establishment of more new works in the district it is probable that current quotations will be maintained, latest advices being highly favourable to the future prosperity o the trade. Dulne?B characterises both the steam and house coal trades, the requirements of buyers not being sufficient to keep a lar.o number of the colliers on half time.
THE IRON TRADE.
THE IRON TRADE. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY—There is a total absence of ani- mation in this branch of industry so far as this district is con- cerned. A few orders have come in during the week, chiefly on account of home consumers, who, from tne circumstance of their limiting the contrict- they give out, are obliged to come into the market more frequently than ordinarily. This will help to keep up a steady, though moderate, trade, if it does nothing more. With regard to prices, the best that can be said is th. y are no worse than they were at Quarter-day, even so far as out- siders are concerned.
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (Front the Mark Lane Express.) The fall of rain during the past week, followed by a genial temperature, has been of signal benefit to vegetation. This has helped to set the apple bloom, has revived the grass, which had begun to suffer from the drying winds and frosty nights, and partly restored the colour of the wheat. Agricultural seeds just sown will soon germinate, while spring corn and all esculents are making rapid pro- gress. We have no reason to expect future disasters, though the equinoctial theory suggests something. That theory, reversing the mathematical axiom that the whole is greater than a part, seems to rest on an insufficient basis, though by a chapter of accidents it may have the semblance of truth and soundness. A season that has been variable all through, like the present, is likely to vary at the equinox as well as subsequently but as hitherto we have escaped the variations unhurt, why should the future be disastrous? Every season has its danger; but on the average there is an average crop. The surplus or deficiency must altogether depend on the future. The late fall and almost panic appears to have subsided, and with a decline in the averages from 74s. 2d. last year to 44s. 9d. it may well be so, especially as stocks now remaining are in firmer hands. Those who had been sending freely to London of late seem to be altering their minds, as there is much more room for a heavy advance than serious decline. Indeed, we have known the brightest prospects in time past ter- minate in drought, and a series of fruitful showers swell into overwhelming floods; so presumption on either side is without warrant, and no better than conjecture. The prospects on the Continent are generally good, though the rape plant has been cut by frost, and in some cases the rye. In southern latitudes they are on the eve of barley harvest, as in Algeria, with very fair promise generally, and an extended growth of cereals, insomuch that there is a difficulty in finding hands, and the French soldiery are more likely to make use of the reaping-hook than the lance; whilst in France there has been little change. Belgium, Holland, and some parts of Germany show hardening prices. In Hungary wheat was very dull and lower, and in New York there was a decline in spring qualities as well as in flour, with some anticipations of a further reduction, dependent, however, on English tele- grams.
NOTES IN MERIONETHSHIRE.
NOTES IN MERIONETHSHIRE. BY G. W. I am not going to dispute with you at present, Mr Editor, about the propriety of referring to High Churchism in my last letter as Popery in disguise. All that I shall now say is this, that when I see the heroes of the Reforma- tion in England and on the Continent, and the Puritan preachers, denounced, and the principles they devoted their lives to fight against openly preached from the pulpit, I am quite at a loss to know by what other name to call it. It seems to me that there are principles now busily at work, not only in the Established Church, but to some extent in every denomination in the land, and that the time is not very distant when the collision will take place, and when it will be incumbent upon everyone to take his side with either of the opposite principles, which we now call by the names of Protestantism and Popery, by what- ever names they may be then called. I do not wish, how- ever, to make use of harsh and improper terms, but when I wrote the sentence I thought I only referred to a fact patent to -all, and generally admitted throughout the whole country. THE WORKING MJ;N'S CLUB.-This idea, which was promoted in the meeting at Wrexham, presided over by Sir Watkin, seems to me to be worthy of consideration everywhere. It has been for several years my conviction that the elevation of the working classes cannot succeed until facilities for pleasantly spending their leisure hours and enjoying and cultivating themselves be afforded to them apart from the temptations of public-houses. And it seems to me to be worthy of the consideration of our teetotal friends, whether they cannot widen their scheme, from being simply negative, abstaining from intoxicating drinks, to something affirmative also, providing facilities for the enjoyment and refinement of those whom they wish to save from the temptations of drink. And further still, could we not include a scheme for educating the wives and daughters of our country, how to provide com- fortable and happy homes for our working men ? And a broad scheme like this, aiming directly at the elevation of the lower classes, while perhaps it would not require from all the strict condition of totally abstaining from all drinks would, I am sure, enlist the sympathy and co-operation of every philanthropist and patriot. As an attempt in this direction I hail the idea of the working man's club, but I do not see very well how the question raised by Mr Watkin Williams, namely, whether drink be admitted, can be answered in the same way as he answered it. His reason for admitting drink was, that it was so in gentle- men's clubs in London. But if you do so, what will be the difference between these and public-houses ? The working classes will be allured to spend their leisure time there; but if drink be freely circulated or sold there, will they not come from there drunk the same as they do now from public-houses? At the same time I should like to see the matter freely discussed, for I admit there is some- thing to be said on each side of the question, and it would not be wise to impose unnecessary restrictions in any- thing or way whatever. And this point would be, per- haps, the one on which we should have most different opinions, and it may also be the most important point. At present, in most of our towns, the working man, if he has leisure time, and does not wish to spend it at home- and many of them have homes which are not at all attractive to stay at-he has only the public-house where to get his pipe of tobacco and a pleasant chat with his friend. And if he goes there, of course, he is expected to drink. How many of our countrymen are thus almost forced to follow this path, and end it in drunkenness and ruin? In some towns, indeed, you see a few obscure tem- perance houses, but whatever purpose they answer, they are certainly no rivals whatever to public-houses. And we must get some great efforts m this direction before we shall cure our country from the evil of drunkenness. The procedure and success of the working men's club at Wrex- ham will, I sure, be watched with intense interest by the whole country, and if successful there, I would hope to see it adopted in every one of our small towns. OUR RAILWAYS.—It is a happy thing to see the little connecting link that so long stood wanting between Dol- gelley and Penmaenpool now approaching completion, and I understand it is expected that it will be ready for opening on the 1st of June. But will the Cambrian and Great Western Companies have come to an understanding by that time, so that arrangements will be made for trains to meet each other. The present inconvenient arrange- ments are very annoying. For instance, the first train from Towyn in the morning arrives at Dolgelley at 10 20, while the Great Western train starts from Dolgelley at the same time, so that if the Cambrian train arrives punctu- ally to the minute by the time the passenger runs from the Ship or the Lion down to the bridge, he will be at the top of the bridge just in time to see the tram puffing off from the station. Again, the same tram, from the same direction, arrives at Dolgelley about four or a few minutes sooner, while the Great Western train has left at 3 5. And, again, the last train from this direction and from Carnar- von arrives at 6 55, while the Great Western has gone at 6 30. As the companies are different and rivals, they will not try to make any arrangements, and on this account they very much inconvenience the public, and I cannot help believing they suffer a loss themselves. The public ought to have some power to compel railway companies to yield to arbitration in small disputes, or in some such way to come to agreements that they may arrange, as well as possible, for convenience of passengers. There is, again, the Festiniog Railway no heed whatever is given in the arrangement of the trains on that line to meet any of the Cambrian Line at Penrhyndeudraeth or Portmadoc. Some of the trains leave in a very few minutes, and in that space the Penrhyn people often see the spectacle of half-a-dozen or more people running a race from one station to the other to catch the train, and if they lose it, they will have to stay for several hours to idle away their time. It would be a great boon if railway companies could be persuaded to do as much as they can for the convenience of the public, and in this, there is DO doubt, the profit would accrue to themselves, i
