April 24. In the House of Commons Dr Kenealy's motion for the appointment of a Royal Commission of Enquiry into the Tichborne trial was rejected by 434 to 1, after a protracted debate, in which Messrs Disraeli and Bright powerfully opposed tbe motion.

The price of wheat is drooping, owing to large expected arrivals. The wool market is quiet, but prices continue firm. Hemp is dull. Fifty bales of New Zealand^eold at £17 to £21. Bombat, April 24.
