ADNAM'S IMPROVED PATENT GROATS and BARXEY are manufactured by a process which entirely removes the acidity and unpleasant flavour , so universally found in similar preparations .

      A Feat 0 r » ov the CiBcuMLOcurioN Oktick . — Here arises a feature of the Circumlocution-o 3 ice , not previously mentioned in the present record . When that admirable department got into trouble , and was , by some infuriated member of Parliament , whom the smaller Barnacles almost suspected of labouring under diabolical possession , attacked on the merits of no individual case , but as an . institution wholly abominable and Bedlamite , then , the noble or right hon . Barnacle who represented it in the House would smite that member and cleave him asunder with a statement of the quantity of business ( for the prevention of business ) done by the Circumlocution-office . Then would that noble or right hon . Barnacle hold in his hand a paper containing a few figures , to which , with the permission of the House , he would entreat its attention . Thea would the inferior Barnacles exclaim , obeying orders —( " Hear , hear , " and "Read . " ) Then would the noble or right hon . Barnacle perceive , sir , from this little document , "which he thought might carry conviction even to the perversest mind ( derisive laughter and cheering from the Barnacle fry ) , that within the short compass of the last financial half-year this much maligned department ( cheers ) had written and received 15 , 000 letters ( loud cheers ) , 24 , 000 minutes ( louder cheers ) , and 32 , 517 memoranda . ( "Vehement cheering . ) Nay , an ingenious gentleman connected with the department , and liimself a valuable public servant , had done him the favour to make a curious calculation of the amount of stationery consumed in it during the same period ; it formed a part of this same short document , and he derived from it the remarkable fact , that the sheets of foolscap paper it had devoted to the public service would pave the footways on both sides of Oxford-street from end to end , and leave nearly a quarter of a mile to spare for the park ( immense cheering and laughter ); while of tape—red tape —H had used enough to stretch i . i graceful festoons from Hyde Park-corner to the General Post-office . Then amid the burst of official exultation , would the noble or right hon . Barnacle sit down , leaving the mutilated fragments of the member on the field . No one , after that exemplary demolition of him , would have the hardihood to hint that the more the Circumlocution office did , the less was done , and the greatest blessing it could confer on an unhappy public would be to do nothing . —Little Dorrit for December . Defalcations of an Income-tax Collector . —A crowded meeting of ratepayers was heldin the town hallj North Shields , on Tuesday evening , Mr . Alderman Pew in the chair , to adopt measures to protect them selves from a reassessment of income-tax made by the commissioners to cover the defalcations of Thomas Briggs , wbo had embezzled and misappropriated 1700 ? collected by him in the Tynemouth district . It was unanimously resolved that the ratepayers view with ex treme disapprobation , as unconstitutional and oppres sive , the attempt to make a reassessment for the sum abstracted fro . m the income-tax collected in the town and that the Board of Inland Revenue be memorialized praying that the amount abstracted be paid out of the general fund of the income-tax , and not by the indivi duals by whom it has already been paid .

' The favourable report of the last quarter ' s revenue has had a happy influence on the English funds , which advanced on Wednesday evening to £ above 94 J . They opened at this figure L on Thursday morning ; but the receipt of full accounts of the operations in China consequent on our disagreement with the Canton Imperial Commissioner , Yen , caused the i market tobe less firm at the close of the day , when Consols - were offered at 94 i . This morning ( Friday ) , matters were _ rather quiet , speculation being somewhat inactive . Consols were 94 to 944 , and 94 £ buyers . The INew Three per Cents . 3 were-941 . 944 ; and the Reduced 915 9 ti . The market for , Foreign and English Railways was dull . s Foreign Securities have undergone very little change .

With the prospect of the supplies from abroad being on a very limited scale for the next three months , combined with moderato arrivals of Wheat , more firmness has been cxhi-, _ bited in tho trade , and though tlie attendance has not been more numerous than usual at tliis season , the business done has been at fully former rates . There have been very ' » few arrivals oft" tho coaBt . A cargo of Marianopoli arrived , l ~ has been sold at Gls ., and a mixed cargo of Egyptian at 45 s . 3 d . Several cargoes of Odessa and Galatz Maize on -. passago have been sold at 37 s ., 37 s . Otl ., 37 s . 7 Jd ., 37 s . 9 d ., y and 38 s . The quantity of this grain now on the way is so small , that if any considerable demand arises for Ireland , t , prices must advance , and this would also affect tho value of : Egyptian Wheat . Uarley maintains its former value for ordinary qualities , and such as is lit for malting is Is . to 2 s . dearer . Tho falling off in the supply of Maize must influence tho valuo of Barley for feeding . Oats remain with-, j out alteration , and tho trade is inactive . 1 1 ¦ i , ) , f r . -
