" The Cork market is conducted by two classes of traders, one, 
the broker, who acts for the farmer, and gets his butter inspected 
and weighed, and sells it to the other class, and the exportei', who 
supplies the English buyer. As the world goes the market is well 
managed, but the exporters have too little voice in the manage- 
ment, and all the arrangements are in the interest of the farmer. 
The exporter represents the English buyer, and certainly has as 
much right to have his voice heard. The butter in general is over- 
qualitied, and this will be so while the farmer's agent is allowed to 
stand by the inspector, urging him almost continually to put a 
higher quality on. The inspector is sworn to act impartially, and 
he should be left alone while inspecting it, without promptings or 
suggestions from any one."

PAUPEEISM. 
The total number of paupers in England on the 1st July, 1869, 
was 978,120, being 1 in 20, or 4*9 per cent, on the actual population. 
The details which follow do not absolutely agree with the above 
statement, owing to 420 paupers having been in receipt of both 
in-door and out- door relief. Comparing the numbers returned on 
1st July, 1869, with those at the same date in 1868, there was an 
increase of 6132, or 0-6 per cent., in 1869. The in-door paupers on 
1st July, 1869, were 143,622, the out-door 833,897. Of the 978,120 
paupers, 199,774 were men, 422,194 were women, and 348,945 were 
children under 16. Of 417,806 able-bodied, 37,250 were men, 
117,725 were women, and 262,831 children under 16; of 508,153 
not able-bodied, 143,049 were men, 279,897 were women, and 
85,207 children under 16. Of the 44,954 insane, 19,475 were men, 
24,572 were women, and 907 were children under 16 years. The

relieved was 154,965, a decrease of 243, or 0*2 per cent, on the 
number on the 1st July, 18G8.
