15s 91, and 179 merinos at 9s 01 per head. We quote prime mutton, 2J I to 3d per lb. Wool.—Telegraphic advices from London received during the week report the market dull without any demand. As the next public sales will commence on Tuesday, 17th current, we hope to hear of an improvement in a few days. On Monday last we sold sundry small lots of fellmongers' scoured wool at from 114=1 to 17d for crossbred, and Is 0.1 for merino ; also a few bags of greasy wool at 7jd Si 1 for llcece ; 7d for pieces and black wool.

The lots consisted principally of butchers’ skins, which fetched from 2s Id to os 7d for crossbred, and Is Gd to 4s 9,1 for merino.

Hides.—We have cleared several consignments at late pnees, say 2jd per lb for wet salted, and 20s each for butchers’ green hides; heifer and calfskins in proportion ; but as reported last week eve do not look for a maintenance of these rates. Tallow.—Well rendered tallow is worth 28s, and butchers’ rough fat 10 5 to 17s per cwt, at which we report transactions. Grain.—Wheat: There is a moderate enquiry for local consumption, but stocks are low and business is limited, especially in second rate descriptions. Prime samples would command last week’s quotations, which we repeat, viz., prime milling, 4s 3,1 to 4s 0,1 ; medium, 3s 8 i to 4s ; fowl’s feed, 2s 91 to 3s 3 1 per bushel. Oats: No change to report, buyers were unwilling to give prices asked, transactions arc only to supply immediate requirements.

Barley : Really first-class samples are in demand at last week's quotations, hut for medium the enquiry is extremely- limited.

they numbered over eight millions—near ly as largo a population as England and Wales put together, could boast of at the beginning of this century, and over, five times the population of Scotland in 1801. Whilst three millions of people had gone away from Ireland “ with a vengeance,” the populations of England, Wales and of Scotland have increased four-fold. There was a time when the great bulk of the people of England c mid he told, and would believe, that it was all their own fault that the people of Ireland turned their backs on their native land and sought refuge among strangers in far-off countries, and that the possession of power and wealth and the advantage derivable from royal patronage bad nothing to do with the remarkable prosperity of England and Scotland. Happily the English people of the present day are too advanced in education to be longer hoodwinked. To that increased and increasing knowledge the friends of lieland may look hopefully.—Universe. The Hawke’s Bay Herald, in the course of an article strongly attacking the Audit Department, tells the following story : “ A tradesman in Napier had an account for about L3O against the Government. After waiting .some time, as is the usual experience of those who want money from the New Zealand Government, a cheque for the amount came down. It was duly countersigned ami paid.. The surprise of the tradesman may bo imagined when, two or three months afterwards, he received a severe letter from the department concerned, saying that on several items of ! he account there had been an overcharge, and that this excess would be deducted. Enclosed was a second cheque f.-r the amount, less the deductions. He was honest enough to return the cheque at once, pointing out that the account had already been paid in full. He has not since heard anything about the overcharge.
