MARKET NEWS.--(ricis Day ) CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, for which the de mand ruled inactive, at about stationary prices. Barley and all other spring corn supported previour rates. Flour met a slow sale. Very little change has taken place in the value of wheat throughout the Continent. In the United States both wheat awl flour have realised fall quotations. Only moderate supplies of Euglish grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad the imports were 16,701 quarters of wheat, 7,993 b Arley, 91,913 oats, 725 beans, 1,215 peas, 325 lir,seed, 5,075 oil seeds, 25 sundry seeds, and 10 srcks of flour. Fresh up, to-day, about 203 quarters of new English wheat came to hand from Essex and Kent. The condition of the Talavira samples was good, and the prices realised were 565. to 58s. per quarter. Other kinds of new wheat were not to say of first-rate quality, and they changed hand) at 503. to 545. per quarter. The arrival of old wheat was very moderate ' • nevertheles, all descriptions moved off slowly, a t prices barely e ival to those realised on Monday last. There was a very large supply of Foreign wheat on offer. All kinds met a very dull inquiry, and late rates were with difficulty supported. In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing. New English barley changed hands at 38s. to 425. per quarter ; but most of the samples were stoadyand light. Old parcels were in fair request at full prices. Malt was in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at late rates. An immense supply of oats was on show ; hence, the oat trade was lass active, at Ca pc quarter under last week's quotations. _ Beans were in short supply and steady request, at full prices. Peas ruled steady. New grey sold at 40s to 42s ; new white, 44s to 46s per quarter. A few parcels of new rye changed hands at 31s to 36s per quarter. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. CURRENCY PER 15" PERIM. MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts, tho arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good as to number, but deficient in quality. For all kinds of beasts we expe rienced a very inactive demand, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported. The Norfolk season for beasts may now ba considered closed. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton. shire, we received 2,100 short horns; from Norfolk, 230 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds; from Scotland, 110 Scots; aid from Ireland, 1M oxen. There was a large show of sheep. Prime Downs and half-brads were in fair request, at full quotations; other wise, the mutton trale ruled heavy, and prices gave way 2d per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was good—met a dull inquiry, at prices barely equal to Monday last. About 600 Irish sheep and lambi were on sale. The few English salves in the market sold at full prices. Foreign calves were dull, and the turn lower, owing to large arrivals. We had ,a heavy inquiry for pigs —the supply of wbich was good—at previous rates. Per 81bs to sink the dine. I. d. s.

Since Monday last the imports of foreign potatoes hove amounted to 20 bags from Rotterdam, and 159 baskets from Dieppe. The supplies of English are seasonably large and in excellent condition ; whilst the demand is steady, at from 50s to 12,5. WOOL.

Linseed has met a dull sale, and prices have a down ward tendency. Rapeseed moves off slowly, at last week's quotations. Cloverseed is less aetive, but without change in value. Trefoil is quoted the same as last week. Canary is in better suply, and 2s to 3s per quarter cheaper. The few tares in tho market realise extreme rates.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the right hon. gentleman the Cuancellor bf the Exchequer whether any arrange ments bad been made for opening the National Gallery to the general public on Saturday afternoons ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had great pleasure in informing the hon. gentleman that he had succeeded in such object. He bad received the greatest asistance from Sir C. Eastlake in his endea vours to accomplish such a measure. In future the National Gallery would be open to the public an Satur- Cay afternoons. (Hear, hear.) THE PARKS. Lord PALMERSTON begged to put a question to the noble lord the First Commissioner of Works—of which, hoe ever, he had not given notice. He wished to know when it was intended to do away with those abominable iron hurdles which at pros, tit un,figured our parks, and interfered with the free enjoyment of the public? He might be told that the hurdles were neces sary to preserve the grass, but he did not know what the grass was for if not to be walked upon. Lord J. MANNERS said all the hurdles bad been removed from Hyde Park, but in the Green Park some of them stiil remained, iu older to preserve the young grass which last season was destroyed by a noxi .us in-. sect. As soon as the grass was in a proper state the hurdles would be removed. PLF.3. Mr. S. DUI . TCO:\.iId.: asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether our relatii3ns with Naples, which were broken off about two years ago, remained in the same etatd at the pres,nt time? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER paid he could not at prt sent give the hon. gentleman any d. finite answer, but in the event of friendly relations being established, tho hones might rest assured that oli.ct would be acoomplished on grounds that the country would deem perfectly satibfactory. CHINA: Mr. WHITE asked whether any fresh information bad been received from China ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the last information received fr )rn China was perfectly sati:f4ctory, and he hoped t'uat the negotiations would terminate in the manner all persons desired. At this point the " Black Rod" was announced, and Sir A. C itford advanced up the house and summoned the Speaker to the House of Peers to here the Royal assent given to several bill., and also the Royal Commission proroguing Parliament. Tile SPEAKER, attended by the members preEsnt, then left the house. After a short absence the SPEAKER returned, and the It..yal Speech having been read he left the chair and the proceedings terminated, We are requested to state that " peers and members of Parliament who may go to Cherbourg will be fur nished on application there with tickets fur the beet re. served places."

NEW TELEGRAPHIC LINE.—It is in contemplation to establish electric communication between the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands by means of a submarine cable. A company, exclusively composed of Spanish capitalists, is about to be formed for the purpose, and, according to the proposed plan, the cable will be divided intothreest ctions. The telegraphic cable will be laid from Cape St. Anthony, in the old kingdom of Valencia, and its extremity will ex tend to Cape Bodra, in the Island cf Ivica. The second section comprises the port of the capital of that island to Cape Figuera, near the Bay of Palma ; and the third will reach from Cape Pera in Majorca to Port Mahon. The Island of Ivica, from Cape Bodra to the port of its capital, and that of Majorca from Cape Figuera to Pera, will connect the respective sections of the submarine cable by two short electric limn on shore,—Gibraltar' ()Amide, July 26. -...,..,,, k -~ LITERATURE. Rumour. By the Author of " Charles 'Auches ter," dr.;. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is another of those brilliant works for which this author has before been celebrated. It is not adapted far the perusal of the seeker of alllUSEMellt SO much as the study of those who would seek out causes, and analyse feelings. If some of the opinions appear extraordinary, or the expressions exaeeerated, there is a genuine ness apparent throughout, and a real enthu siasm so evidently pervades the mind of the writer, that the reader is attracted aed in terested. The chief subject of attention is the sketch of the career of Rodomant, who is intended to represent one of the mighty masters " whose distant foot .teps echo through the corridors of time." The love of music is inherent in the nature of this author. It is no acquire I taste, no transient sentiment of admiration, that actuates him when descanting on this theme, but real feeling fires bis words with eloquence and clothes his thoughts wieh beauty. In a former work the reader was charmed with the portraiture of the gifted Men delssohn, here he will find one not inferior of the , ilimortal Beethoven. Truth seems stamped on the vivid delineation, from his first entry into life, poor and friendless, till th final triumphs and wonderful :achievements of his after years. In solemn earnestness we seem to realise the great affliction that befel him. In the sad chronicles of the sufferings of genius it would be difficult to find a darker doom or an acuter anguish than the one here recorded, of the total less of hearing sustained by him whose compositions filled others with ecstacy, but were never again to delight the one who could the best appreciate their beauty and rejoice in their success. Throughout the whole of the passages that refer to Rodomant there is a fascination, but especially in the epoch of his resi dence at Belvidere. It is described as a "sunny land, a land of eternal summer while the earth re mainetb," and a softened splendour seemed to shine on the fitful bourse of the erratic genius. The prin cess is a peculiar character happily represented, there is more of human nature in its brightest and purest sense in her delineation than in some of those who appear in thep pages. Whether we see her as an angel of mercy, blessing by her influence the dark night of the dungeons to the wretched cap tives, or behold her adorning by her beauty and grace the halls of her palace, alike she attracts, charms, and interests. The father is aptly de scribed as a heartless tyrant, and this renders the contrast of her geittleneee more striking. Rosuelo is a strange individual, concerning whose career there seems a dark mystery, and whose general conduct produces distrust in the mind as one contemplates it. He is, how ever repulsive, pourtrayed with a vigorous touch, and the last scene in which he becomes the aven ger of his land, and puts an end to the tyrant's career is most effectively narrated. In the person ages that engage attention in England there is much to win regard, from the graphic manner of the details, the brilliant sketches of social life, and the energy which reigns paramount and pre-emi nent in their descriptions. There is va.riety . to be met with, from the grand character of Diemid Albany to the excitable and selfish Geraldine. The most pleasing picture is that of Lady Delucy, who is thoroughly devoted to the good of others, and never shrank from any exertion or sacrifice that duty urged or generosity suggested. Her life h,ol been one of toil and trouble in youth, and the 1 meridian of her days was often overcast, but she combined kindness with judgment, and was enabled to perform many useful works for others. Geral dine is a graceful sketch of a sensitive nature, young and inexperienced ' • she was too soon intro duced to the cares of life before she had strength to endure the toil, and patience to bear the trouble. In an evil hour, her cousin Geraldine became possessed of some facts that had occurred in the life of her husband before their marriage. These, though in no wise reflecting on his honour, were of such a nature that a skilful tactician could mculd them to assume a dangerous form. The general confusion and dismay that resulted therefrom are shown forth in a most natural manner, and tend to illustrate forcibly the danger of conceal ments, and the sin of misrepresentation. Had Albany explained all to Geraldine, or had she pos sessed wore self-control, and exercised more sense or self reliance how different things might have been. The fate that befel Geraldine seems fitting retribution to bis crimes. There is a vivid descrip tion of Paiieinia, "a city fair as Athens, in the genial freshness of her violet crown, and awful in the truth and tradition of its hietory as the anirds of imperial Rome." The characteristics of this country, evidently intended to represent France, are made the subject of some brilliant sketches, and prominent among those who figure in the scenes is Porphyro, who is most ingeniously introduced as a man of unbounded ambition and vast intellectual resources, and whose prototype meet readers will 1 rea3ily recognise. It is not so much in the story of this new,' that its merit csnsiste, nor in its cha racters that its attraction centres, as in the general tone of its composition, and the elevated tenour of its thoughts. It is always refreshing in travelling through the pages of fiction, to come here and there to some sunny spot which taste has refined by culture, and talent made r‘tdiant with beauty, where the author may delight the reader with the treasures of a luxuriant fancy, or the trophies of reason and knowledge. " The flesh of wit, the bright intelliaenea, The beam of got g, the blitZ J of eloquence," stamp the apparently ephemeral pages of fiction with the undeniable impress of a master mind, and convert a ti ansient fame into an enduring triumph. The ruling passion which pervades this works is in itself all sufficient to arouse the deepest feelings, and awaken the tenderest emotions ; it has Nen styled " the friend of pleasure, wisdom's aid ;" it has inspired poets to their loftiest strains, and ex cited warriors to their most daring feats. It can lull the sleep of restless infancy, and soothe the couch of weary age. The cares of life seem to lose their sting while under the magic of its influence, and the shadow of time does not obscure its bright existence. The lovers of musicwill find a welcome theme in this work, and if they do not a4ree with some of the remarks or reflections, they will appre. ciate the glace of its expressions, and the genial character of its pages. To the thoughtful and re fined it will prove an acceptable study, presenting as it does much knowledge of life, and containing superior attractions, from its command of language and artistic skill.

EIDELLTII OP Ma. PEASE.—Mr. Ed ward Pease, whose Hanle will always be associated with the great railway system of this countiy, died on Saturday evening, agt-d 92, at his residence in Northgate, Darlington. Mr. Lease's eons— the two youngest, at least—have long been before the public, and all are now men of advanced years. Mr. J. Pease—the first Quaker admitted to Par liament—is himself a grandfather in two lines of descent. The deceased, therefore, stood at the head of four gene rations. Mr. Peace leaves threesons -John, Joseph, end Henry—and one daughter, Mrs. Gibson, of Saffr,n Walden. To the last he retained his faculties, and, in. deed, was able to sit up writing letters till a late hour only three nights before his death. His end was as calm and peaceful as his life had been. THE IRISK CONSTABULARY.—The total general force of the Irish constabulary on January 1. 1848, was 11,847, and the reserve force 220, with 311 horses, and 57 in reserve. The total expenditure force in all the counties and counties of cities and towns last year was 573,7921. PIOT AZ' 6 FIRE-A BRIGADE ALAN STA BBED. Late on Saturday night the inhabitants of White chapel were thrown into a sate of considerable et citement in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a fire in some premises belonging to Messrs. Merry and Netter, wholesale cheese mongers, carrying on business at 133 and 134, High-st ree t, Whitechapel. Tire lire commenced from seine unexplained cause in the cart-house, situate in Old Castle-court, and septated from the stabluig by a narrow paved yard, so that at one time the dessruetion of several valuable horses appeared inevitable. The moment the fire was seen several persons entered the yard, and fortunately succeeded in getting the whole of the home out, sad they were taken to Messrs. Maneets' brewery for the night. Owing to the in flammable nature of the property in the cart-house the fire extended with unusual rapidity, and in the course of a few minutes three vans, two carts, and a chaise became i g nit e d, w h e n the flames shot through the roof and rose so high as to illuminate the whole of the East-end of London. 1 his had the effect of drawing to the spo‘, almost immediately afterwards, tlree or four thetuaed parse s, whe took possession of every vet leading to the scene of conflagration. The engines having been sent for, s.vetal of the London brigade froth Jeffrey-street, Wellcloat vgnare, Watling-street, and Whiterross-street at tended, under the direction of Mr. 'Pogo, the fore man, and Engineers Bridges, B Maidm en, and a full corps of firemen. This force was attended by a private engine from the brewery, that of the parish, and the one belonging to the West of Eng land office. For some time a scene that baffles description took elace, for th:l mob seized the engines and would not let'go their hold of the handles or levere, so that the firemen and plice hid the greatest difficulty in get , ing their machines into working order ; and one man, who had been ordeied away from the Jeffrey-squire engine, drew a poniard from his belt and deliberately plunged the weapon into the leg of a fireman, named William Withers, whilst he was on the engine, stooping to take the dam out to feed the engine with water. The un fortunate fellow cried out that be was slabbed, and blood instantly flowed from the wound and ran down his trousers. He was removed to the Prin ces Alice Tavern, where the landlord strapped up the wound, and applied all that was necessary to meet the emergency of the care. The firemen, finding the crowd was completely crippling their exertions, were, as a dernier resort; compelled to fight their way with their enaiues tc get near the burning pile. The mob, however, would not be interfered with, and they struck right and left at the firemen; until they were obligd to use their belts and splinter-bars to protect themselves. The man who stabbed the fireman was seized by some of the bystanders, but the mob tore him away, and up to last night he had not been recaptured. Mr. Superintendent Stead and Inspecters Gernon and Constable, with Acting-Inspector Meloy, for tunately came up with a reinforcement of officers, and by great perseverance they managed to get a way clear for the engines to pass to and fro ; and a good supply of the East London Company's water having been obtained, the firemen went to work in an admirable manner; but d'ering the time that had previously elapsed the flames had made fearful progress, and they were attacki' g the private resi dence of Mr. J. Kingstone, and the stables and stalls on the opposite side of the yard. By a judicious distribution of water over the burning buildings, the firemen were enabled to cut off the further extension of mischief ; but the fire could not be entirely extinguished until a serious loss of property had taken place, which is thus officially reported by Mr. Braidwood, the super intendent of the London Brigade : "July 31, 1858.—Called 1.30 p.m., to a fire at Messrs. Merry and Nutter's wholesale cheese mongers, in Old CaAle-court, Whitechapel. Three vans, two cart, and one chaise, with loft.over, burned, and roof off—insurance unknown. Ditto (opposite), windows of stabling and stalls damaged by fire—insurance not known. Ditto, Mr. J. Kingstone, private side windows burned out, ceil ings damaged by water, and furniture by hasty re moval—insured for contents in the Union Fire office." Several of the other firemen were much knocked about by the snob, and so great eves the pressure that some of the wooden railings in Commercial street were forced down, and the crowd fell into the excavation for the new house', but it is under stood that none ate seriously injured. THE ACOMB HOUSE INQUIRY. YORK, SATURDAY MONT. Yesterday, after the reporter withdrew, Mr. Pemberton, the solicitor on behalf of Mrs. Turner, addressed the commissioners at considerable length, laying before them a narrative of the ctuel treat ment which Mrs. Turner had had to endure whilst an inmate of Acomb House. Mrs. Turner was then sworn and examined. In the course of her examination, which extended over a period of more than four hours, she deposed to the repeated outrages committed upon her by Mr. Metcalfe and those under him. The treatment to which she spoke consisted of ty:dily torture inflicted upon her at various times ; continom , nt in small dark rooms for a; long us 1;:, Louis, (luting which she was denied the offices of nature ; indecent lan guage and offensive epithets repeatedly applied to her by Mr. Metcalfe. Amongst the most poin'ed part of her evidence was a declaration that Mr. Metcalfe was continually in the habit of applying an offensive and filthy epithet to her. On one oc casion particularly, when Mr. Metcalfe threw her down and ordered her to undress in his presence, she refused to do so, upon which he repeatedly called her foul names. He said she was a-, and that it was nothing new for her to strip herself before men, and be would maks her undress herself before him then. She refused to do so, upon which he said, "Oh, you are a pLus -, are you f If you were not such a pious, sanctified --, 'could do with you." He ultimately, by force, caused her to be undressed, and she was in a state of nudity in his presence. When she was dragged from the Iviuse in Blake-street, in York, by Mr. Metcalfe and his groom, she was shamefully used by thorn, and struck several time,. At the close of Mrs. Turner's examination in chief, whieh gi t e r a e t c e o l m ea m rn is e s s i n o , n A e r r r s . r i e z m ic a h r a k r e d d ne l n ia y d ne tr iei n withgiven _ tor for Mr. Metcalfe, said he should wish his cress examination of Mrs. Turner to be postponed, on the ground that he lisd not had time to consider the course he should take. Mr. Petribeiton resisted the. application for a pos tp o nement of the cross - exammation as the most extraordinary ho had ever heard mad e . H e (M r. P em b er ton) did not wish to cast reflections on any one, but it . must be perfe c tl y c l ear to the commis sioners that the cress-examination was postponed, an opportunity might be afforded of the domestics in M t r r . e lN a l o eut7ut of Mrs, Turner, lfe'sestiarblislun ei ent,who ng tampered had witnessed pered the with. Ultimately, the commissioners consented to tho cross-examination Wing postponed until this morn ing, Mr. Pemberton protesting against it. Mrs. Serginson, the lady with whom Airs. Turner lodged in Blake st:eet, in York, after her escape from Acomb House, was next eximined, and de posed to Mr. Metcalfe and his g room b rea ki ng cpeu Mrs. Turner's bedroom door, and to their violent cmiduet towards her. At 8 o'clock the proceedings were adjourned to this morning, at 9 o'clock. This mornii. , , Mrs. Ttuner presented herself for cross-examination, but the only question asked her by Mr. Richardson was if she borrowed any mosey in York when she escaped from Acomb House, when she replied in the affirmative. MirindAh Hill, the attendant on Mrs. Turner during Ler stay at Acomb House, was under exa mination the greater part of the day. She stoutly denied Mrs Turner's statements as to the illegal ill-treatment, but admitted that Mr. Metcalfe pushed her down in the bedroom when he desiitd her to undress, but he did it gently. After some objections taken by Mr. Richardson as to tha cross-examination, which were overruled by the commissioners, the further investigation was adjouined for a week. MR.
