The United States store ship Supply has arrived at Civitta-Vecchia. ENGLAND. THE SUPPLY OF BREADSTUFFPS AND PRICES— HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A STEAMSHIP COM- PANY. - Lonpon, Feb, 21, 1876, The Mark Lane Ezpress, issued this morning, has the following in its report of the British corn market :— The severe frost, of which we wrote iast week, was quickly sueceeded by a rapid thaw, and trade, which was improving slightly, has relapsed into inactivity, At Pans the market has taken the same course, but as it advanced more during the frost it yielded more readily with the return of mild weather. In two or three days flour rose nearly three francs. It looked lke the commencement of a steady reaction; but the | advance was almost wholly lost within three days. The abundance of home supplies after the poor crop is equally remarkable in France asin England. Not less remarkable is the fact that the stock of flour in Paris is much larger than last year. Notwithstanding its large crop there, even much more than here, the sup- plies since the harvest have largely consisted of old wheat, and probably explains in great part the com- parative low price of home-grown wheat, THE SUEZ CANAL SHARES PURCHASE AP- PROVED BY PARLIAMENT—DISRAELI'S REPLY TO THE GLADSTONE-LOWE OBJE£CTIONS, Loxvom, Feb, 21—Night. In the House of Commons to-night, debate took piace upon the vote for the purchase of the Suoz Canal shares, Mesars, Lowe and Gladstone criticised the transac- tion, Their principal objection was the extravagant remaneration allowed the Rothschilds. The govern- ment could not have been aware when they bought the shares that they only carried ten votes. Mr. Gladstone pointed out the great risk England rap by abandoning her position as a champion of the interests ot Europe to become the champion of her own selfish interests. He could not understand what benefit the country would gain by holding the shares, Mr, Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchecquer, replied the government were perfectly aware at tho time of the purchase of the shares that they only car- ried ten votes. Mr. Disraeli said he thought the discussion showed unmistakably that if Mr. Gladstone had been in office the shares would not have been purchased. He de- fended the Rothschild bargain on the ground that it ‘was neccessary to act promptly. He did not recommend the purchase as & financial investment, but as ® politi- cal measure calculated to strengthen the Empire. The vote was agreed to.
