The London Chamber of Commerce has received official notification (with a request that its contents may be made generally known) of the following Circular relating to the importation of rags into Russia issued by the Customs Department of that country i The Dtpsrt ment of Customs haa ascertained that the various Custom houses, on the occasions wben rsgs are imported from abroad accompanied by a certificate of disinfection of the said merchandise, also demand a certificate showing that the locality where the rags originally came from is not infected. According to section of the Circular of the Medical Department of September 5. 1833. No. 1,475, rags can be imtorted from abroad without any impediment only when they have been disinfected, and in proof thereof it Is necessary to pro luce aa official certificate from the authorities of the nlace of exnurt to the effect that the disinfection really took place; if otherwise then the rsgs must be sent tor aisiucction to loose iruuiier poiuu wurro there are in existence means for such disinfection.

Exception to this rule is allowed only in soch cases where the factories or stores receiving the rags are situated near the frontier, and possess means for disinfection. Therefore the Department of Customs informs the Custom houses, for due execution thereof, that at the time of clearing the rags lt is necessary to guide themselves by the above mentioned ortier oi tne Ministry of the Interior, and that the demand for a certificate of the nou infection of the locality of the origin of the rags, besides the certificate of their disinfection, cannot be allowed because the Ministry of the Interior always informs all concerned of every country which ia infected with any infection, disease, by mean of a notice in the Government Mettrngcr. All previous orders relating to rags importation not in accord with this Circular are to be considered as camelled." Tub Stoke Newixgtox Charities. At tho vestry offices. Stoke Newington, vesterday, Mr.

Walter A. Wigram held an inquiry on behalf of the Charity Commissioners into tho number, extent, and mode of administration of the charities of the parish of St. Mary, Stoke Newington. Mr. H.

H. Richardson (a vestryman) said that the vestry had recently passed a resolution sating the Local Government Board to confer oo the vestry the powers of a parish council, so that the vestry coul tske over tho administration of the non ecclesiaatisal charities; The Commissioner said he did not think that an application to take over the whole administration of the charities could be granted under the Loeal Government Act. The various charities' were then taken itriatim. On the investigation of the details of the Thomas Stojk houses in Church street lelt in ltti lor me cnurcn anu uie poor, was siaieu that part of the proceeds was now given tn the shape of imall pensions to persons who were in receipt of Poor Law relief. The Commissioner asked what amount wa given to each person.

The Rector (Prebendary Sbel ford). Ono shilling a week, payable monthly. The Commissioner suggested that it would be desirable to confine the charities to persons who were not in receipt of relief from the rates. The pensions might thu be increased while the pensioners would decrease. The rector replied that that matter had been carefully considered and a conclusion against the Commissioner's view had been arrived at.

The pensioners were mostly persons between 80 and 0 years of age, and to them the lg. a week extra was' a very great boon. All the charities in his hand for the benefit of the poor, were administered without any inquiry as to denomination or The most important charity in the parish is known as the Palatine Estate. The origin of this charity is unknown. The earliest mention of it is in the records of an inqui.ition held in the 14th year of the reign of King Charles in which it was stated that the estate consisted of the graTcl pitfielda and contained over four acres.

From the earliest record it appeared that the revenues of the estate ha) always been devoted to the repair of the parish chlreh (except when they were seised by Sir F. Fopbam, former lord of the manor in the 17th century), but Vince the development of the estate the four district eh drche each received 75 a year for the cbureh expenses, and the parish church had taken the bs lance, vfhich last year amounted to 135 2s. 8d. When the present lea fall in the estate will be worth at least 4,000 a rear. The present total value of the oharitia of etoka kawinrten i 460.

10th. cyras. iwp, The annual report of the Board of Trade on the working of the Uankroptcy Acta has been published. This shows that the total number of cases of bankruptcy and deeds of arrangement in 1895 wa 7,858 a decrease of 798 on the result for 18t'4. The total liabilities were I a decrease of 1,85,693 the assets.

a decrease of 924,927 and the estimated loss to creditors, 8,38.254 a decrees of 1,367.235. It will be observed that the number of failures during the past year shows a reduction that of 194 amounting to about 9 per the liabilities show a reduction of nearly 15 per oent. The estimated loss' to creditors is the lowest since 1S90. snd shows a reduction of over 23 per cent, as compared with 1S93. These figures seem to be the result of the improved condition ot business.

There sre seven trade In which the liabilities exceed half a million sterling namely, merchants, 069 farmers, 730,030 grocers and provision dealers. 710,841 solicitors, 673.322 beer, wine, snd spirit trades, 611.828 metal trades, 571,687 snd building trades. 631,840. The most conspicuous increase is io the case of solicitors, whose liabilities have risen from 303,936 in 1894 to 673.322 in le95. The largest reduction is in the case of wool manufacturers, whose failure have diminished from 51, with liabilities of 564,383.

to 28, with liabilities of 169,208. Upon the great increase in the bankruptcies of solicitors, the report comments ss folio ws It is noteworthy that, out of the group of 39 cases, each involving liabilities of or more, there are five cases of solicitors who are responsible for over half a million of liabilities. Relow the limit of 20,000 there' were 37 other solicitors against whom receiving orders were made, making 42 in all. with liabilities amounting to the enormous sum of 645,643. This shows a great irvTcase aa compared with the previous years, but the failure of solicitors have been heavy for some years past.

If it be true that private arrangement are only practicable in the better class of cases where the debtors conduct is not open to serious' objection, it is somewhat significant that while 42 solicitors, with liabilities for 645,643, came under the Bankruptcy Act last year, only fire, with liabilities for wound up their affairs by mean of deed of arrangement. In two case in particular the firms were of hign standing, they were not content with the ordinary work of legal practitioners, but carried on banking or money broking businesses, in tbe'eourse of which they received snd lost large sum of money deposited with them by their clients. The investigations disclose a deplorable want of system on the part of the debtors, which wa bound to lead.to disaster sooner or later. A solicitor may, of course, be a competent financier, but his professional training is no preparation for such a career. On the contrary, the bank ruptcy records tend to show that in departing from hi legitimate work he is not unlikely to imperil the interests both or himself and ot his clients, it appears to be a matter for consideration whether some steps should not be taken to discourage solicitors from engsging in pursuits so slien to their vocation and special either by action on the part of the professional bodies themselves or by legislation for tb protection of the classes chiefly affected by breaches of trust, and who, being mainly women and children, are aa a rale unable to saiegturd their own interests." Upon the subject of the alleged eogtlines of bankruptcy proceedings, tb report says vonmiiuimtiuiii appear occuiuuauj ku uo puutie Press a to the excessive cost of administermz particular estates, snd conclusions are drawn unfavourable to the system under which such cost can be incurred, Irat, apart Irom tee lac I that is not right to judge a system ny isolated cases, it should be borne tn mind first, that there are case, in which a trustee ha only done his duty in incurring heavy law costs, and cannot be held responsible for the fsct that hi litigation ha been unsuccessful and that the costs have absorbed all the available asset second, that the system of otScial administration can only be judged by the result of case officially administered, and not by cases in which the creditors have elected their own trustee and eommittew of inspection." In his general introduction to the report.

Sir Coorte nay Boyle calls' attention to the decrease in trading insolvency in the following terms The decrease in the number aod financial importance of trading failures during recent years is certainly a fsct of some economic importance, and the analysis of fsHores in various trades maj prov interesting, not only to those engaged in these trades, but to the general student of commercial sociology. Violent fluctuations of prosperity and adversity appear to mark some occupations, while others seem to show steady tendencies in a uniform direction. The Information in regard to the failures of farmers during the past five years points to a deep snd eontinuons pressure of adverse circumstance affect in? acTicnltural interests, too' much in accord with other well known fact relating to that important indntry. The decrease in the insolvency of the textile trades, taken as a whole, appear to indicate an important improvement in the conditions under which these trades are carried en and there may be traced a continuous growth of liabilities of insolvent solicitors during the same period. On the whole, it appears to be the fact that the annual amount of trading insolvency, so far at least as private traders and part nerships sre concerned, is steadily diminishing, and that it has during the last few years attained a considerably lower level than at any time during the present generation.

This is a fsct which should not be lost sizht of in any review of the position of English commerce. It would be a mistake to treat this fact as bearing conclusively upon the question of the prosperity of trade, but it appears to indicate clearly that, so far as the system of credit is concerted, trad rest on a sound loandauon.

And while the parvena specnlator and money lender and hi smart daughter foresha low tho inevitable variety show of the second scere. the comie rtoek jobbcr, whose beneficent machinations put right the pecuniary mischief wrought by his tpondam partner, is another eoncewion to the lovers of good old Adtlphi plays. At one' moment in the first set there seemed to be sn intention vf transferring the action of the second act, according to the new canon of dramatic art, to no less distant a country than South Africa, bet we are taken no further than from a Somerset 'village to a south coast watering place, and the variety element does not set in for good till about a quarter to 11. There will probably be new features ictrodcord into the scene during the run of the piece, bet at pre sett the programme eon tains but two perfornur.ces, a pas it tmt consisting of high kicking by ladies reprenting the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Vale, and a witch "Oog and dance executed by a genuine negro (Sir.

VT. Dowries), whose impersonation of an African Prince awl subsequent detection by one of the two young men of the piece, who have spent the coir' arts in South Africa, bring the plot to some sort of end. The lyrics," in which Mr. Ross ha urpaxsed himself in out of the way rhythms, are for the most part above the average, and Dr. Osmond Carr's music is always snd sometimes fresh.

A pretty chorus, railed a mlrigl," in act 1 and some of the comio scngs are the best things, snd two of the latter are as good a anything of their kind in existence. The stockjobber (Mr. John le ilay) is represented as a Jew who adopt, with the name of Margrrgcr, a very artificial Scotch accent, and his first song, with a gtiasi bagpipo accompaniment, is really admirable. Miss Connie Edis, a the niayorea of the watering place, has a capital song, the main hit of the piece, Lady Tom," and, though her part is a small one, makes the most of it. Mr.

Colin Coon a tha mayor has scarcely the opportunitia that tha former piece afforded him. Mis Fllaline Terriss ia quite excellent a the vicar' daughter, who, receiving a timely hint, invest in a gold mine a few hundred left her by an aunt, thereby restoring her father ani brother to affluence a soon aj tho. second act begin to get a little long. Misae E. Haydon and M.

Montrose succeed well in the part of the other girls, and Mis Katie Seymour and Mr. Leslie Holland, a a couple of servants, have some lively duet and dances. Mr. Eyler plays the vicar with manly dignity, and it ia pleasant to record that no trace of ridicule is cast npoo hi profession Messrs. Paul Arthur and L.

D'Orsay are an efficient pair of lovers Mr. 17. II. Rawlins properly melodramatio a the rascally speculator who, on beooming a country gentleman, come ont is' pink in June, and agree to go ont snipe fishing and in the smaller eomlo part Messrs. P.

Kayo and W. Warde are decidedly good. The piece haa been rehearsed with all due care, and the scenery and dresses are admirable. The effect of a groap of yachting eostumea, all in navy blue and white, but each of a different design. Is as roccessful as it is new.

The piece was received with the utmost favour, and encore were numerous. Vrini, the late Beade' adaptation of L'Assomrnoir," by M. Emila Zola, was revived last night at the Princess's Theatre, with Mr. Charles VTarner in the part of Coupeaa. Mr.

That Mr. Warner's Coupeaa is an agreeable object it would be idle to say, but at least it is a fascinating one, while on tha score of morality we should imagine that it most be a deterrent to tha incipient drunkard a any tract ever issued under teetotal auspice.

It was announced that a man would be hanged at tha Westminster Aquarium at 4 p.m. yesterday, and a good many people assembled to witness this elevating spectacle, which I understood to have been imported from Pans. They did not see the man hanged, bat when they were admitted to the chamber of horrors they found him already hanging from the roof by a rope wfiich passes through the ceiling. He Was dressed tn a rnnch working man serge sun, ana wore a voiiuuiuuua red silk scarf round his neck which completely concealed the disposition Of the rope. Tha official eiplatation of the performance is that the weight rests on the jaw not on the soft part of the neck.

It may be so, but, so far as the very d'm light that Ulumiaes tha chamber of norrors enable one to juage, mo rope uom over the jaw, and an attentive attudy of the man's attitude lead to a strong suspicion that it really passes, under hi arm or somewhere round the body. At any rate, the pressure does not come upon the throat, and ih.refnmM Itarand i tn no dacirer of his life, nor does he truly counterfeit death by hanging, which wa cobehly meant to be the enier. attraction oi tua hjubi ion in Paris. At the same time it must be admitted that he presents a sufficiently ghastly spectacle to satisfy even the gayest of Parisians. Whether by nature or by art, his face I livid, his lips black, his feet hang rigid and motionless, not the slightest respiratory movement is visible, and but for an occasional coumlsiro twitching of the hand he might be taken for a corpse or a dummy.

Ho seems to bs tn a more or less cataiepua state, such ss is common with hypnotia and hysterical subjects. He is supposed to hang for a week, but there is no reason why he should not go on for a month if ha chooses, without requiring tha services of the medical committee understood to be watching htm.

SuAxxxEas nf the DzXd Letth Optice. A correspondent, write under the above healing As one ha often to complain cf. the carelessness oi official in public departments. I think it only right to publicly acknowledge what appears to me to be very smart work in the Dead Letter Office Department of th General Pest Office. A few day since my wife, who was io Germany.

sent over a letter, with only heTOwrmaa addres on it, for me to address and post to a lady thortlands. in Kent. A I could not remember th name of tha lady house, I though fchortds would be sufficient (a she wa well known there) but this proved not to be the ease. On arrival at my office town a few mornings afterward 1 found a aeaa letter addressed to my wife, ear of myself, at my office address, and it was her letter returned marked insufficient There wa nothing my wife letter to indicate tha she wa my wife, and tha only cine the officials could bave were my nutials, whiahl appended to a postscript I added to the letter hot my name is not an nneoenmon one, and there wa nothing to snow that I tad aa office London.
