CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are of a highly satisfactory character. The estab lishment of peace between France and Austria has given a decided impulse to trade, and in all branches increased activity has been experienced. At Leeds a large business has been done in woollen cloths, for both home use and for exportation to the various German markets. Woollen and Worsted yarns at Bradford have been in demand, and in piece goods the transactions have been nume rous:-at :slightly advanced quotations. The inqui ries for India goods at Manchester have been to a fair extent, and a decided improvement has taken place in the demand for this country as well as for the Continent. The hosiery trade of Leicester continues exceedingly active, some large orders having been given out by American houses, and the operatives generally are fully employed. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown symp toms of improvement, and at Birmingham greater animation' has also prevailed. Discount business continues very quiet, owing to the limited requirements of the mercantile com munity and the absence of speculative activity. A moderate amount of money has to be provided for railway calls and other purposes during the next fortnight; but while the market is so abundantly supplied these arrangements produce no effect, and the terms of accommodation remain without the Slightest change. A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. will be pro posed at the meeting of the National Discount Company this week. The steamer Columbian, with the Sydney mails , of May 14th, and Melbourne 17th, arrived at Aden On the 11th inst., the detention being caused by damage to machinery. The steamer was telegraphed to Suez, and from Suez to Marseilles by the ordi nary post. The mails may be expected in London on the 27th or 28th inst. Itt. the market for Public Securities- to-day a limited amount of business has been transacted, but owing to the anxiety felt to ascertain the content s of the Budget, the 'quotations have been rather flat. The movement, however, has not been very im portant, and the transactions, both real and specu lative, have been limited. Consols have been 958 for money, and 951 t, for the account, and they now appear steady at those quotations. The New Threes are flat, at 951 and the Reduced at 95 ; the New 21 per Cents, are steady, at 79k ; India Loan Debentures, at 954 ; ditto Scrip, at 758 3 . ; ditto Stock, at 220 and 224; and Exchequer Bills, at 275, to 30s. premium.

M etropolitan Tolls.---The report of the Right Ron. Viscount Eversley, the Hon. Colonel Pennant was Mr. W r i g h tson, M.P., the Royal Commissioners, presented to the House of Commons on Friday. It is not yet printed, but it is stated it shows that the Royal Commissioners took a great amount of trouble in the inquiry, and in the end they report in favour of what must be a coercive measure against those parishes in the outer area which have not taken to the roads like those in the inne r area. When printed we shall refer again to the subject, but, it is satisfactory to see that the Commissioners have been fully alive to the necessity of stringent measures to induce the parish authorities t o get rid of what Sir George ewis has termed th e " metropolitan strait waist coat " six miles round London.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat. Nearly all kinds were dis posed of at about previous quotations. There was very little inquiry for either spring corn or flour; nevertheless, • prices were mostly supported. The continental markets have ruled heavy for wheat on easier terms. In the United States produce generally con tinues to give way in price. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. The imports from abroad were liberal, viz., 17,032 qrs. wheat, 3,120 barley, 26,568 oats, 977 beans, 1,640 peas, 3,490 linse e d, 13 , 570 o il see d s, 1 ,16 5 ma i ze, 110 sundry seeds, and 2,279 sacks of flour. Only a moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage. Owing to the commencement of harvest work in Essex and Kent, and the continuance of remarkably fine weather, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and some few forced sales were effected at Is. to 2s. per quarter be neath last Monday's currency. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer, for which the demand was heavy in the extreme, at almost nominal quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull. We had a slow inquiry for barley, at late rates. A parcel of new barley, of thin quality, was offering. The malt trade was very dull, and inferior qualities of malt were freely offered on lower terms. The quantity of oats on the stands was large, and the oat trade ruled heavy, on rather easier terms. Beans were very dull, at barely last w3ek's currency. New white peas were dispo se d o f a t 43 5 , an d new grey at 37s per quarter. Flour was dull, at barely the late decline in value.

In Holland the mouth and foot disease amongst beasts is rapidly subsiding . The show of foreign sheep in to-day's market was large •, of beasts, lambs, and calves, moderate. Sales progressed slowly, at barely late rates. About an average supply of beasts was received fresh up this morning from our own grazing districts, in good condition. The attendance of butchers was small, and the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations com pared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,600 short-horns and crosses; from Nor folk and Cambridgeshire, 800 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 150 Scots ; and from Ireland, 480 oxen and heifers. There was a large number of sheep on offer. All kinds were in very moderate request ; nevertheless, in most in stances, last week's currency was supported. The general top figure for Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs. We were well supplied with lambs, yet the demand for them was steady, at full quotation.- About 1,800 came to hand from Ireland. • Calves, the show of whichwas tolerably good, sold slowly at late rates.

Whilst the British public have been bent on.the destruction of Petro Paulowski and Sebastopol, leaving the French to arrange for the quiet occupa tion of Egypt by the commercial agency of a canal; —whilst the Russian has been allowed to establish himself in Villa Franca, and France to complete the late quiet arrangement whereby Italy is to be still further enslaved, pendulous between the tyranny of Austria and the sympathy of France ;' —whilst fears have been entertained lest Russia should subvert our Indian authority, and France convert the Mediterranean into a French lake, we haverepeatedly called the attention of the mercantile classes of this country to the condition of Central America. The present Emperor of the French has evinced a desire to dictate to Europe; but the mari time country that shall possess Central America will be in a position to rule the world. This was the opinion of Louis Napoleon when a prisoner in Ham. He had time to study the map, not only of Europe, but also of America; and on his escape, -he pub lished in London a pamphlet showing the feasibility of connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by the River San Juan and the Lake of Nicaragua. This rout has since been virtually taken possession of by the United States, by means of the bombardment of Greytown and the disorganisation of Nicaragua, effected by the piratical aid of William Walker. . For several years past the secret diplomacy of the Foreign-office has led to the belief that British interests in Central America were to be abandoned. The United States, with a keen perception of the future, put their own construction on the Bul wer- Clayton Treaty ; and, knowing that this construc tion would not bear the test of reasoning, re fused to submit the matter to arbitration, and de manded that Great Britain should yield up the Bay Islands and relinquish her protectorate over the Mosquito Indians, who have ever been strong enough to defy the Dower' of Spain, and ever faithful to the British'in affording them shelter, wood, and water, and in rendering other assist ance when Great Britain has been at war with Spain. Nay, so far did this line of fatuous policy extend, that there was even a fear that the British settlers in Belize might be reduced to the same position that American diplomacy would assign to the Mosquito race—the same right that a buffalo has upon the prairie, or a turtle on a sandbank. It is with considerable pleasure, therefore, that the eye rests on one or two small items in the " Civil contingencies" just presented to Parliament by her Majesty's command. From these we learn that Mr. Moir, the presiding magistrate of the Bay Islands, has recently been sent from Jamaica to be formally installed is his duties in the island of Ruatan. And we further learn that, though it pleased Lord John Russell once to stigmatise the head of the Mosquito race as a " phant )m king," yet Lord Malmesbury has not hesitated to remove the reproach by having him publicly recognised by his title of " king of Mosquito," and entertained on board her Majesty's ship Valorous at the expense of the British nation. There is also a, rumour that Lord Malmesbury has put one dangerous question at rest by inducing the Repubiic of Guatemala to settle the boundary of British Honduras, so that the settlement of Belize wiil be assured that it is not the intention of their brethren at home to leave them to the mercies of any set of filibusters a weak or vicious Government at Washington may en courage or permit to attack them. These acts of Lord Malmesbury show that he has more sagacity about him, than his opponents gave him credit for ; and we trust his foresight will not be defeated by the apathy of the present Government. It is with considerable pleasure, also, that his lordship cast the first stone at secret diplomacy on Friday night, when he regretted that the rules of the craft did not allow him to clear himself from imputation whilst assisting the cause of peace in Italy.— Liverpool Albion. TERRIBLE RAILWAY CATASTROPHE INNAMBRICA. (From the Cleveland Herald, Tune 29.) The most dreadful railway disaster which ever happened in America took place the night before last, about 12 o'clock, about two miles east of South Bend, Ind. A train, consisting of six cars, was totally demolished, and over seventy persons were killed. The precise number is not known, but no less than sixty dead bodies had been recovered at the date of the latest intelligence. People were searching for more. It is slated that there were 150 passengers in the train, only 75 of whom are now living. We think the estimate of the whole number is rather small. When the train left the city, at eight o'clock p.m., there were two first-class cars crowded to excess, one sleeping car comfortably full, one second-class car full. and one emigrant ear empty. The latter was taken along for the purpose of carrying down a number of railroad hands, who were taken on board at Ainsworth, Calumes, and other stations along the road. Among the passengers were a number of Chicago people, of whom we have the names of only of L. P. Hilliard, E. Dickinson, Mrs. Sumner, and some others. David Runnion, late proprietor of the Revere House, left the train at South Bend, two miles this side of the place of the accident. A passenger on the train, just arrived in the city, gives us the following account of the fright ful calamity :—He was in the sleeping car at the time of the accident, and was startled by a sensation as if the car was jumping on the bare ties. Then came a crash and a plunge downwaid into a deep abyss. The car turned over ou its side; but being the last car in the train, and strongly built, did not break up, so badly as the others, and therefore pro tected its occupants from severe injuries. The train was a heavy one, containing five well filled passenger cars, besides the baggage and mail car. The tr ain was about half an hour behind time previous to reaching the fatal spot. About ten o'clock on Monday night, two hours before the time of the accident, a tremendous rain fell throughout that section of the country, flooding the fields and swellincr the streams to considerable bulk. The surviving breaksman says that ile . train was run with great caution over all the culverts pre vious to reaching the fatal culvert, but on nearing the latter the speed was increased to twenty-five or thirty miles an hour, as this culvert was considered the most reliable on the road. On reaching the gap, which was about one hundred feet wide, and about thirty feet deep, the train first fell on the old trestle work which crushed beneath the weight, and then leaped into the chasm. The engine fell at the base of the farther bank, and buried itself in the sand. The baggage car, two second-class cars, and two first-class cars piled into one mass, and drove each other into the earth. The sleeping car fell on its side on the top of the pile of shattered cars. Every man connected with the train, except the conductor, one breaksman, the conductor of the sleeping car and his boy, were killed. When the uninjured passengers crawled out, the scene is said to have been awful. Scarcely dis tinguishable in the darkness lay a pile of shattered wood and iron, and about 150 dead and dying per sons, part buried in mud and sand, and part wash ing away in the boiling torrent that swept down to the St. Joseph's river, but a few rods distant. The conductor and breaksman set out to seek succour at the stations of South Bend and Misha waukie, whilst the uninjured passengers built fires around the spot, and carried off some of their wounded fellows to the neighbouring houses._ It was nearly three hours after the - accident before succour arrived from the nearest towns which were three or four miles distant. A strong body of labourers were brought down by the peOple of the towns, and the work of digging out the dead and wounded commenced. Tuesday afternoon 32 bodies had been taken to Mishawaukie ; eight or ten were reported taken to South Bend. Some 10 or 12 bodies were reported to have been taken up about 10 miles below, on the St. Joseph river. About a dozen of the wounded have scarcely a chance of life. Some five or six labourers who were on the train report that about 20 of their fellows are yet miss ing. It is supposed they remain buried in the sand, or have been washed out into the St. Joseph river. _ _ Very few of the passengers escaped death or frightful injuries. The scene on the banks of the ravine, a passenger says, was truly awful, as one may well suppose ; but he says the amount of human misery among the wounded was terrible to behold. In the Mishawaukie Hotel he saw a fine little boy, about nine years old, with his left leg broken, and almost open through the thigh ; while the right leg was cut completely off. He was failing fast, and it was impossible for him to recover. He was one of a family of five children, with the mother, who were going to meet the father and the h us b an d o f thi s family. The mother is killed, a daughter is miss ing,.and another boy is wounded, but not seriously. He is in the same room with his 'wretched brother ; while he saw another of the young ones, six years old, dead, having had his face completely cut off. The bodies of the females were not much mutilated. One passenger got out of the sleeping car into the current and was swept along; but in going down he luckily clutched hold of a tree,ind by that means effected a landing. One woman, who was on the train with her hus band and five children, ran wildly about all night seeking her family, but without success, until morn ing, when she found them all dead. She then went to a farm house, a few yards off, where, after sit ting some minutes, the wretched wife and mother expired. 'S 22307.* PBINC.E (From the Correspondent of the Times) - CALCINATO; JULY 10. We rode here last evening from Volta. We let) the last-mentioned place at a brisk breathless trot al half-past 7 o'clock, and took the road to San Cas siano, so as to cross the battlefield of Solferino. We saw the ground still thickly strewn with sol diers' casques, cartridge-boxes, and a variety of other warlike implements; French and Piedmon tese more freq uen tl y th an Austrian, either because the loss of the Allies was in reality more consider able, or because the ground we crossed was that frOm which the attack was made, or finally because the Austrian gear, being made of more valuable stuff and substance, held out greater tempta tion to the gang of plunderers, whose harvest is among the bodies of the slain. The corpses have been buried with the utmost carelessness and inde cent haste. Graves have not been dug, but the dead have been laid in heaps in the furrows of the fields where they fell, and a few spadefuls of loose mould have been thrown upon them. The conse quence is thaj beasts of prey of all kinds, but especially cats (downright domestic cats, anywhere out of Italy I might have thought them jackalls) are feasting on the remains; that half-fleshless bones have been dragged out here and there ; and that the night air was not free from that taint by which the unhonoured dead can inflict their vengeance on the careless living. The country lay still and calm ; . the pale young moon strove to out shine the faint last streaks of waning sunset. There lay the plain, the fought -for hill, and the solitary tower on its summit. We might have passed by and never dreamt that on the very spot, so few days before, 400,000 men had met in deadly struggle ; hardly a mulberry branch lay torn or stripped; most of the farm houses were unscathed by ball or bullet ; you would say not one shot .or sabre-cut had missed its mark, but had struck home. Man had sought man's breast and spared dumb nature ; in a few weeks not a trace will be found of the famous field-day of Solferino. Calcinato is the place appointed for the Tuscans' quarantine. The whole allied army are trying to make themselves comfortable for the 4adays' armis tice. They are - going to summer quarters. Tents and open fields are exchanged for houses and churches, stables, and at least sheltered porticoes. Bread and meat, hay and oats, will come in now with some thing approaching regularity. The officers are clubbing and bargaining for Bordeaux at their mess. , Most have performed ablutions, a few even thought of shaving. I saw one arranging hook and line to wage war against the carp and pike of the Chiese. One Colonel has sent to subscribe to two or three Turin papers to kill " the enemy," others yawn, propose sales and barters of their steeds and chargers; all curse their lot which made them arrive so late and the armistice come so soon. The same movements and arrangements are being executed in all the French and Piedmontese corps. The first Sardinian (Durando's) division, marched past our head-quarters this very evening. I think they are to be moved towards Brescia, to recruit their forces, somewhat exhausted by two months' incessant exertions. I saw them leaving Genoa before the war was declared, hastening to the de fence of Novi, then threatened with an Austrian attack. I wish I could paint them as they then were and as they are to-day. La Marmora had taken good care that the whole Sardinian army should be inured to hard work before they entered the cam paign. But these men now look like the wraiths of their former selves. They are not sun-burnt, but sun baked. Touch them and they will scald you like earthenware hot from the furnace. Their walk is not like the human pace, they rushed past us like Zouaves or devils. A rivalship has sprung-up be tween the French and Piedmontese as to which of them shall attain the greatest speed in their march, and which shall keep it up longer. I am convinced that long habit renders the more rapid motion the easier and more enduring ; but I am also of opinion that these brave troops are carrying matters too far and using themselves up too fast. Now that the sun has made all faces black, and the dust all coats white, I declare it is almost impossible to distin guish French from Piedmontese, only the latter sing mere frequently and more in tune, and when at rest exhibit greater modesty, amiability, and gentleness of disposition. The Frenchman thinks, he must always look savage to be thought braY.T. The high cheek-bones, the small gray eye, the small turn-up nose, the kepi brim turned up at an angle of 45 degrees; the long, scraggy, cravatless neck ; the destructive organ highly developed. behind the ear ; the swagger and bluster of the whole mein and bearing, have something repulsive and offen sive. "lam a killing-machine,' says the French man, "they have tempered me, ground me, wound me up for my murderous work. Kill me, or I will kill you ; that is all I am good for, all I dare for. lam always fighting or else furbishinciug my weapons. I have a cartridge in my gun-barrel, and the bayonet at its end. I fire my piece, then instantly charge. The Emperor has said it ; the bayonet is a French weapon !" The Italirn at rest has a bland, mild, and modest look. There lurks in that countenance a look of the ineffable en joyment of existence. Down he lies on the ground and looks up at his deep blue heaven, and his mus ket lies harmless gathering dew—future rust—in the grass, and his knapsack m a k es hi m no very h ar d pillow. "Oh! let me live!" says the Italian, "King and country called me under arms, and here I am:; I have met the Austrian, and stood his fire as I was bidden. I came to close quarters, and thought I had better give him a few inches of my bayonet than take any of his. He has no business in my Italy, any more than I have in his Germany. My Ki n g is always for emos t in the fight, and where is the craven who would skulk behind? But, for the rest, this war trade is a confounded Cain business, all hard crusts and hard knocks. I hate the din and the dust ; and the cannon, if it does not kill, is at least a lacerator di ben costrutti orecchi.' It shatters a well-organised tympanum all to pieces. We will see the Austrians out, if God help us, and then we will have piping times again, our cool wine-gardens, our lemonades, and the arch-eyed girls we have left behind us." - Such, physiognomically drawn, are the military characters of French and Italians, and I purposely say Italians, not Piedmontese, because the Sardinian ranks at the present day are filled up by men from the whole Peninsula, and a s th e D u rando division passed us (Tuscans) a great many of the poor burnt faces cried out, " Any o f y ou f rom Pisa ? Any from Pistoria ?" &c. They were countrymen of ours calling for countrymen. The Italians of King Victor Emmanuel's army may, after Solferino, Palestro, and Montebello, consider themselves as good sol diers as the French, with all their Crimean and Algerian training, and a shade better than the Austrians, the quarrel with whom is henceforward simply reduced to a question of numbers. The Italians do fight, when properly led against reason able odds. Let us hope for the future that the re luctance of Europe to admit their claims to a na tional existence will never be laid upon their lack of combative capabilities. That Durando's division, which, two months ago, went out of Genoa with pale misgiving, thinking itself doomed to be crushed by an Austrian force four-fold stronger—would now, I have no doubt, cheerfully meet a four-fold Austrian force —aye, and demolish it too. So much of the fortune of war depends on the morale of the troops ! I am about to leave the Tuscan division, and pro bably the whole camp, so long as the armies are at rest; but it is not without regret that I shall shake hands with the many friends with whom I have rid den from Florence to this place. The stuff of the Tuscan soldiers is excellent. In outward appear ance they beat both the French and Piedmontese ; and, although inferior in strength on the march, they would, if properly led, show great spirit on the battle field. Very little training would have nerved them up to the hardships they had to endure, and shaken off that sloth which is innate in the Southern man till he is fairly roused into action. There is immense goodnature and good humour among these poor fellow. I have seen men dropping down dead from heat and starvation, but I have heard no murmur, and not a harsh word to the country people, who cheated and robbed them, or to the officers, who sometimes drove them on rather indiscreetly when they could go no faster. The officers are mettlesome, high-spirited gentlemen, most of them young, in ense experienced, and tolerably ignorant of everything in the world. Many of them are well - horn, not a few wealthy, all of them eager for distinction, Their talk is often frivolous , remarkable for point lessm aj rijestsmajority and of tthem, em j eirfs they y e atehhi think other's allr'sex ab p. out polities, The are mumeipalists, opposed, that is, to the fusion of their country with the Kingdom of North Italy, or as they call it, annexation to Piedmont.

Ask any right-minded and candid Italian, no matter from what part of the Peninsula he may come, and no m atter what hi s predilections in favour of his own birthplace may be, which of the Italian cities rises upperm os t i n h is heart as connected with all that is brave and g enerous, and his answer will be—Brescia! Whether it be owing to the air, or whether of the various Teutonic tribes which settled in Lombardy the noblest and most warlike chose for its abode the banks of the Mella, there is no doubt but the handsomest and, most robust of all Italian frames spring up in this bountiful soil, and enclose in them the healthiest minds and the stoutest hearts. The contrast in the provinces, between the timid and cu nn i ng hi n d o f the Mantuan lowlan ds, , at Piube ga , G o i to, Volta, &c., and the uprign and frank i n h a bit an t o f th e far-famed heights otf • Montechiaro, Solferino, and other battlefielai from this to Pesehiera, is but - . too painfully' striking to the troops, who at* any time toil or have toiled to wrest Italy from the hands of the Austrians. . The peasant of Mantua, like him 'of Verona, is only aware that his destiny is to be trodden on. All his ingenUity is absorbed by the solution of the great problem how far he m a y escape military outrage and spoliation by a variety of crafty devices. .He has stifled all . sympathy in his heart. He bows as lowly to friend as to foe ; : curses both as deeply ; avenges himself on both as. avagely if .a good op portunity offers itself. There is a look of fiendish malignity in his countenance as he closes-his door against the soldier half killed with fatigue, - hunger, and thirst, with his stereotyped, inexorable impas sible " Caro, no ho niente ." (Dear . friend, there is nothing for you here.) He knows his well-stored larder and cellar are safely walled up. He feels sure the French and Piedmont,ese Allies will not, like the Austrians, resort to the flat of their broad swords or the butt•end of their rifles to bring out plenty in the alleged land of famine. He is aware they will pass his inhospitable door with .a look of scorn or a good round oath, which, after all, breaks no mans bones. He chuckles in his heart as he sees them go past the wicket of his orchard and the corner of his hedge. Let them tramp on and drop ! He will have none of the coins they hold out so temptingly before his eyes ; corn and wine are now worth more than all the gold in the world ; and when the bully Austrian comes back—the boor never says " if".— for he thinks Austria has pledged her soul to the great enemy to riold Italy, or at least her. :own part of Italy, in perpetual fee—when the Austrian comes back he will be able to say that the invader found neither rest nor refreshment under his roof, and this passive proof of his allegiance may perhaps lighten, if not wholly avert, the burden of the oppressor's dread displeasure. Not so the Brescian or Bergamasque. He is tall, stalwart, and daring —passionately addicted to field sports, fond of his gun whenever allowed the use of it. He joins the deliverer of his country as soon as he sees a chance ; at any rate he opens his hand and house, make& the tired soldier welcome to all his supply can afford, regardless of the consequences of a reverse of fortune ; he is trusty and sanguine, ready to stake his property on a cause on which his guest ventures his life. He crowds his house with the military ; bids his good wife and daughter wait upon them ; shrinks from no demand on his cattle, his horses, and waggons ; he will walk 10 miles when asked to show the way for 10 paces. No arrogance or peevishness of the soldier disheartens or irritates him. He makes allowance for hard ships and sufferings. Himself hot-blooded and impetuous, he makes himself as mild as a lamb to soothe the impatient private, who often requites him with ill-usage. , What the Brescian character is in the country, that it is in the town. Everybody's business here is simply to wait upon us. A military costume is a passport to the reading-rooms and to all public and private establishments. At the cafe, at the theatre, every civilia n g i ves up the best place to the officer. It is the case of Cedant arena togis reversed. The feeling which prompts all this kind attention is by no means mere courtesy. Brescia has more than 30 hospitals, large and small, public and private establishments. It has solicited the hardest work, has volunteered to bear the heaviest expense in behalf of the sick and wounded, and has looked with jealousy upon any ambulance waggon driving on to other places. Big Brescian heart !it would have all the deeds of charity to itself ; and it is that same brave heart that rose like a tiger's on the first report of Charles Albert's second campaign of 1849—alone it rose out of all the sluggish cities of. Lombardy. It rose against its Austrian garrison ; it crushed the strong and spared the weak. It held out . for three days against the whole might of an army, long after the route of Novara had extin guished all hope, and fell helpless into the hands of Haynau, who had fiedibefore the strong, and now wreaked his long revenge on the weak. RN.EB4S SHEEP AND WOOL FAIR. (From the Inverness Courier.) Our annual Sheep and Wool Market—so-impor tant to the whole northern counties —commenced nominally on Thursday and closed this evening. The attendance was larger than that of last year. In addition to our old friends from Lancashire, Cumberland, and the South of Scotland, many new purchasers appeared, while tenant-farmers from all parts of the Highlands, Caithness, and the Eastern Counties, were present. Few proprietors attend the market—a circumstance to be regretted, for 'the mingling of-landlords and tenar.ts on occasions of this kind, could not but prove advantageus to both. The state of the weather and conditifin of the crops : -exercise, of course, great — inffueii6e - lin this market. There is still a want of rain 1 .but the improvement of the crops since the beginning of the month is very remarkabable. No doubt they look their best just now, and when they begin to ripen the effects- of the drought will be more evi d:mt in the deficiency of bulk, but upon the whole the harvest prospect has greatly brighteued. Grass is also freshened up. and the aftermaths promise by their luxuriance to compensate in some degree the extreme poverty of the hay-crop. The turnip crop generally suffered much from drought and in some places from high winds ; but it is mending, and the later sown fields particularly are as forward in this district as they were last year. In addition to these rural prospects, the state of trade generally throughout the kingdom has an important bearing on the market. This is highly satisfactory. The manufacturing districts are fully employed, and the excellence of our trade has been stimulated by the' prospect of peace. Hence wool has greatly advanced in value. The late wool sales established a rise previous to the peace, and the ad vance has been greatly increased by that fortunate event. Dealers would have advanced more freely for sheep had it not been for the indifferent promise of the turnip crop, of which, however, fully enough has been made by the buyers. It is generally allowed that but for this cause the prospects of the sheep trade never appeared better. The stability of the present vigorous state of commercial matters is confidently relied upon, and the ease in the money market is held to support the idea even of a consi derable improvement. In discussing these questions our friends at the market spent most of Thursday and Friday. In no former year was there less business done up to Friday evening. Buyers and sellers could not ap proximate, and the market has been emphatically a stiff one. But we are happy to say it has also proved a good market. On Cheviot wool theadvance over last year's prices is from ss. to 7s. per stone — in some cases still more. Blackfaced wool was less in demand. The market at Fort-William, next week, is generally the best field 'for the disposal of the blackfaced clips and stock, and hence sales were hasnot pressednetkept pl here. its W ac r e e b ie eli t e h v e e the manufacturing bac kface . d Ns wool dis tricts so well as the Cheviot.
