Cartwright, St. John-street, TO TOURISTS AND OTHERS VISITING THE HIGHLANDS. _ _ _TAMES ANDERSON, Proprietor and Occupier xr of "ANDERSON'S HOTEL," Nairn, takes leave to an nounce that these large and commodious premises have very re cently undergone various important improvements and altera tions, by which such additior al accommodation hasbeen obtained, as to render the establishment amply suited for the comfortable 'reception of the increasing number of visitors to the North. The Hotel contains several Public and Sitting Rooms, nu merous Bed-rooms—all newly and tastefully painted and pa- Pered, fitted up with ges, and otherwise arranged in a comfort.. able and handsome manner. Attached to the Hotel are excel lent Stables, also fitted up with gas, to which considerable ad ditions have lately been made, with lock-up Coach-houses. .1. A. having spared no expense in rendering the comforts at tendanton a residence in the Hotel worthy of public patronage, 11 happy-to say that the House is frequented by some of the best faxailies from all parts of the country, is well known to many Noblemen and Gentlemen visiting the North, and is also pa tronhea • y , all Commercial Gentlemen who travel on the road. TO the Posting Department, Chaises and Gigs are always to be I ' 4l l On the shorte,t notice. The town of Nairn, at all times possessing advantages as a vatering place, has now become more celebrated as such, on account of its SALT-WATER BATHS. This establishment, affording Cold , Tepid , Warm , and Shower Sea-water Bathing, is universally allowed to be un equalled in the North of Scotland. The salubrity of the climate is remarkable—and the town and surrounding country particularly agreeable. illail and stage coaches from Aberdeen and Inverness arrive and depart daily. Various interest ing objects, such as Fort George, Cawdor Castle, and Culloden Muir, are within short distances of the town, and the district is most inviting to those engaged in Ge3logical and Other scientific pursuits. In short, to Invalids, Families, or ourists desirous of spending some time on the sea-coast, Nairn, provided as it is with an Hotel and Baths of the above descrip tion, will be found to possess advantages not to be surpassed in the northern section of the kingdom.

It gives a fine ann. glossy finish, does not stick to the iron, and requires no boiling - - The annexed certi ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfi., will prove that it is free of potatoe, and contains no deletericias ingredient. ‘.I hereby certify that I have submitti d to chemical investi gation the starch manufactured by :Mesta s. Brown and Pelson, of Paisley, and that I have found it to b e a pure article, conse quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously even on the finest fabric. From trials .:onducted with it under my own superintendence, I have foun d that in starching it goes farther than the best kinds of pan sit starch, that it gives an equally fine finish, and that articles stard.ed with it are not liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of manufacturing the starch in all its stz , iges, f am satisfied that potatoe flour is not used in its nianufac•twe. "A W. F Y FE, Al. D., F. R. S.

It is perhaps indicative of improvement—we hope - it is—to find persons in various stations of life at present directing their attention to describing the condition of the working classes. Never before, we believe, did their condition require and 'emit-a more attention than at present ; never, perhaps, judging from the concur rent testimony of different parties, was it worse than at present. For several years it has engaged the serious consideration of the Legislature. Corn-laws and Poor laws, Police Acts and school grants, votes of money to build churches and establish new systems of prison discipline, have all been framed with a view, according to the Legislature, to improve the condition of the working classes. The palpa ble and certain result is extreme degradation of tho working-classes. They seem to have continually gone from bad to worse, as our Legislature has established fine Frenchified schemes of centralization of police, and of regulating all their amusements, till the once inde pendent peasant of England, under whose tread the earth resounded, has become a mean, starved, and shrivelled slave ; and the stalwart artizan, who was some check on both the baronial landlords and on the burgher capitalists has become a poor shivering wretch, dwelling in caves or cellars, like some of the earliest known races of men Re is so dependent fur subsistence, that, like a dog, he licks the hand that corrects him, while it holds forth a miserable crust. Let us quote a specimen or two, %%ilia, taken from different source*, may serve to show both the condition of the working-classes and the attention which is now, prompted by necessity. devoted to them We have of late heard o.te party assert that agrlt ul tural labourers get only 7s. a melt, and others that they gain 145., but here are some sp, cimens of their condition CA traded from the Report of tho P wr-law Ccmmis sioners on the sanatory condition of the labouring popu lation of Great Britain, a perfectly impartkl authority, which must set at rest all disputes as to their wages. It may with safety be asserted, when we find the bulk of the population sunk in wretchedtkss, that it is because they cannot help themselves. Wages are good or bad, not in proportion to the number of shillings they amount to, but in proportion to the amount of comfort they com mand; and consequently an accurate description of com mon comforts of labourers' cottages, is a far better clue to the value of his wages than the number of shillings of in '~ .. , 01, , i ttz, No. 15,578 LONDON, SATURDAY Ma i tt Ft, 5 THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, in Time for the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY; a SECOND EDITION (E ven i n g Sun) is Published in Time for the AFTER?

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times :" " Sir,— I think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night. which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the ,arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 LudgateAill, Who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, •and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him,' and a sincere desire to snake known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, • " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock - , near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held upon my case, the surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter• initiate in lock- • jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H." This ju;tly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious in any of the above afflictions) may lie obtained of, or through any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in To xit or Cotmitry, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ; or from the Proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London, MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIISDAY. CHBONICLE.—The number of ig 12 United Kingdom during 119,060, about '33,000 of whom, New Zealand included, went to the Australian settlement. The importance to the last eFi fearl'l P r i a l o , t E l s . a y s E 'r N oEi n G ; t . o l s t the now depressed Eil,Plish manufacturer of such an DX • cession to the population of these colonies, may be esti mated by the fact that in ten 3 ears to 1840 the exports from the United Kingdom to the Australian colonies, had increased from a declared value of 393,4711. to 2,004,385/. And yet in 1810, the entire population of those colonies could barely have exceeded 150,000 souls. Nor let it be imagined that this vast amount merely re presents a transference of so much English capital, on which no return was made. The colonists, who in 1831 sent to the English market less that three millions of pounds of wool, were ten years subsequently enabled to raise and send ten millions of pounds to the same mart. Within the same period, alsc, 17,000 tuns of spermaceti oil were exported by them to Great Britain. In the first of this series of years our commerce with Australia gave employment to 70 whips, with a tonnage of 24,-68G tons. -In 1840 it employed 299 ships, with a tonnage of 108,000 tons and upwards. The aggregate amount of exports from the United Kingdom to airports of the world in 1840 little exceeded 51,400,0001. The' evidence which the official tables of trade supply, of •So large a proportion as 2,000,0001. of these exports being to Australia, would seem to indicate how much, attention to our colonies, the exports of the United hingdom might be increased, and w i th i n a period not exceeding that isr-,svhich the wool -of Aus tralia has increased from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds. " • SUN.—The funds recovered a trifle from the effect of the sales, noticed this afternoon,band Consols left off at 91 911 for Money, and fur the Account; Bank Stock, 167 169 ; India Stock, 249 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem.

The quotation of Mexican declined to 35 for Money, and 35i- for the Account. A decided improvement was exhibited in the Share Market towards the close of business. London and Birmingham were 181 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 48 50 ; Great Western, 88i 89i ; the Half-Shares, 63i d 4; South Western, 62 ; North Midland, 54 59i ; the Half.; hares, 28i 29 ; South Eastern and Dover, 23 23i ; Eastern Counties, 8: 1 1 ; Northern and Eastern, 39i- 40 ; Blackwall, 9 9i ; and Brighton, 33i 34a per share. The Foreign Exchanges were altogether better, especially in Paris and Hamburgh. The large purchases made at the late Indigo sales have, doubtless, to a great extent, contributed to this advance in the latter place, but still the probability of any great demand for produce, against which bills would have to be drawn, having been removed, the balance of trade will, it is almost certain, remain in favour of this country for some months at least to come. The Bonds quoted in the official lists were—Colombian, 20% 20% ; Spanhh Five per Cents., 20i, and the Three per Cents., 20 Owing• to the late hour at which the letters by the Caledonia were delivered, no part of their contents can be noticed which contain any general information, beyond the copious details of intelligence published in an early second edition of The Sun this evening, for which merchants have expressed themselves much indebted. Papers to the 30th March have been received from Sydney. The accounts continue to be favourable for British goods, but the caution is again repeated that the imptovement is owing more to the diminution of stocks than to increased demand. The want of labour appears to be felt here also, and measures were about to be _ adopted to petition the home Government that convicts might again be allotted to them. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Report of the Poor-law Commissioners says : The state of the dwellings of many of the agricultural labourers in Dorset (Lord Ashley's Dorset) is described in the return of Mr. John Fox, the medical ofli..er of the Cerne Union. Ile says, " three eases of disease occurred in a house occu?ied by nearly fifty persons on the ground-floor ; tke rooms at e neither boarded nor paved. and are generally damp. Eleven persons slept in one coon:." In many of the enttages the beds stood on the ground-floor, which was damp, three parts of the year. Scat rely one had a fire-place in the bed •ruGm, and one bad a single pane of glass stunk in the mud w all as its only window, with a large heap of wet and dirty potatoes (happy people to have potatoes) in one corner. Persons livinf , in such cottages are generally very poor, very dirty, and usually in rags, :lying almost wholly on bread and potatoes. The medical officer of the Uxbridge union states— The cottages of the poor are mostly of a bad description, frequently mud walls, and often situattd close to the dykes where the water is for the most part in a state of stagnation. Often times not more than one room for the whole family, some times two, one above the other. Of the Bedford union it is said— Most of the residences of the labourers are thickly in habited, and many of them are damp, low, smoky, and com fortless. " A large proportion of the cottages in the Ampthill union are very miserable places, small and incon venient, in which it is impossible to keep up even the ccmmon decencies of life. I will refer to one instance, with which lam well acquainted. A man, his wife, and family, consisting in all of eleven iud.viduals, resided in a cottage, containing only two rooms. The man, his wife, and four children, sometimes five, slept in one of the moms, and in one bed, some at :he foot, others at the top—one a girl about fourteen, another a boy above twelve, the rest younger. 'I he other part of the family slept in one bed in the keeping-room, ia whicit their cooking, washing, and eating, were percortned. How could it be otherwise with this family, than that it should be sunk into the most deplorable state of degradation and ih.pravity. There are many cases, and a very great number that make near approach to it." In Durham the peasantry (according to Or. Gilly) were crowded into small places, 24 teet by in which eight, ten, or even twelve persons dwelt (scarcely the allowance for the slaves in A slave ship). Flow they lie down to rest, how they sleep, how they can preserve common decency, how unutterable korrors are avoided, is beyond all conception. The case is aggravated when there is a young, woman to be lodged in this confined space, who is not a mem ber of the family, but who is hired to do the field work, for which every hint; is bound to provide a female. It shocks every feeling of propriety to think that in a room, and within such a space, civilized beings should be herding together with out a decent separation of age and sex. These are only specimens of what occurs throughout the agricultural districts. There is nothing worse in the cabinS of Ireland, and if ever the peasantry of Eng - land deserved the character formerly given of them, they are now, in their habits and manners, after twenty-five years' assiduous attention c.n the part of our law-makers, sunk below the level of the peasantry of any part of Europe, except Ireland. In France and Italy, the cliniate enabling people to live in the open air, renders the house accommodation of the working classes of lesS importance than in England, and makes their condition comparatively superior to that of the working classes here. If Lord ASHLEY, and the rest of the landlords who are so extremely anxious to improve the morals of the colliers, will look into the cottages on their estates, they will pro bably find amongst the peasantry what Dr. GILLY calls " unutterable horrors," to which all the vices imagined by prurient•minded Commissioners in the collieries are like blushing innocence. Now let us turn, having for the present done with the peasantry and their herding together like the beasts of the field, to the manufacturing districts, and quote a passage from Mr. ADSIIEAD'S pamphlet on "the distress ill Manchester." This has every appearance of being a most authentic account, not merely of the present, but of the general condition of the working classes in Man chester ; and the slaves of the cotton-lords, we regret to state, are not in a better condition than the slaves of the landlOrds. Mr. ADSHEAD states that there are 2,040 fami lies, consisting of 9,179 persons, of whom 3,479 are chil dren under twelve, and 1,743 above twelve, living in cellars in Manchester. He states that this is relatively a smaller number than live in cellars in Liverpool, where, we believe, the GLADSTONES, and other men of that saintly character, manage to return two Tories by means of a cellar population, such as Mr. ADSHEAD describes in the following passage:— The cellars are most of them neither drained nor soughed. They are consequently damp, are always liable to be flooded, and are almost entirely without the means of ventilation, having rarely but the outlets of door and window at the one side, and these almost hid below the level of the street. But the above-ground habitations of the indigent poor are little better than the cellars, except in the matter of situation. Nothing in the shape of the meanest comforts of life are visible in them. Decent furniture there is none,—bricks, logs of wood, and other contrivances being frequently used as substitutes for tables and chairs, while the bag of shavings or litter of straw is laid in some corner to be occupied nightly by its miserable tenants, with all its accumulation of impurities inev'ts.b!y resulting front the condition and habits of the latter. And not always are these abodes of squalor and poverty, whether cellars or ground-floor habitations, occupied by the members of one family alms. Frequently, differeot families occupied opposite corners of the same room, the sexes being no further se, arated than by the few feet of space which lie be tween their respective beds of straw. This state of things has come under my own observation repeatedly, in visiting the habitations of the poor. Six or eight persons have I witnessed inhabiting a damp cellar, males and fem•des congregated to.. ;;ether, with a line hung along the hovel for tix use of the in mates, upon which were suspended, indiscriminately, their torn and dirty appal el ; with other scenes Of a nature too dis gusting for recital. In other instances, parents and children were found sleeping together in the same bed. without regard to age or sex. '1 he following conversation took place between a member of the Relief Committee, and a poor widow who applied to the Com mittee for a bed : Examiner—Have you a bed? Widow—l have one. Exam inei —ls not one enough ? Widow—No ; 1 have a son. Examiner—What age is he? Widow—Nineteen )ears. Examiner—And where has he slept ? Widow— With me ; or he must have lain on the floor. Of course a bed was given for the eon. 3t would be impossible to over-state the moral and social evils arising from this state of things. The domestic decencies must be utterly unknown where habits like these prevail; and every barrier against profligacy in its coarsest form must be broken down. Such is the condition at present of the industrious classes of England. If the legislator had not meddled with them, had not passed Corn-laws, as he says to keep up wages, and established a Church, crowded with well paid parsons to teach the working classes all that men ought to learn, what is necessary in this life, as %yell as what will possibly gain for them life hereafter, we should nut have had a word to say against the legislator on account of the condition of the working classes ; but looking at what the legislator has pretended to perform, and looking at his unceasing guidance and government of them, we affirm that he is repunsible for ill the wretchedness, misery, and horrors, unutterable or utter able, which prevail amongst our working classes, and w hid' are to laic a complete scandal. No classes, however, can escape the influence of the contamination we have alluded to. The crowded filth ot multitudes vitiates the air, and spreads infection and disease through the land. The moral infection, too, arising from their manners, is equal to the physical in fection arising from their filth ; and while the legislator supposes that he is merely securing his own authority, by his multiplied regulations he is spreading moral and physical corruption and degradation throughout the com munity. For the condition of the working classes, we repeat, he is responsible, and we assert that at present it is a scandal to the clergy, the gentry, and all the ruling classes of England. ^ . _ ~, , t t • .

DUBLIN, JULY 27.—The Right Hon Sir Edward Sngden arrived in town this morning from England, and at two o'clock this afternoon was sworn in one of the Lords Justices, in the observe of Earl De Grey. It is expected that the Chancellor's stay in Ireland will be but of short duration. The other Lords Justices are the Archbishop of Armagh and the Lieutenant- General commanding, Sir Edward Blakeney. The Evening Post of last night says, in reference to this subject, " A correspondent infoims us that th.! Rev. hobeit Daly is likely to obtain the vacant see of Ali ath, through the influence of his brother, Mr. J. Daly, of Duns indle, with Sir Robert Peel. The elevation of Mr. D. to the bishopric would not put an end to the protracted litigation regarding the deanery of St. Patrick's, inasmuch as the appeal of Dr. Wilson is likely to come before the Court of Delegates. In the interim, should Mr. Daly be promoted to the Bench it would become a question whether the deanery of St. Patrick would rest in the patronage of the Government." The Athlone Sentinel gives the particulars of a singu'ar case of self-destruction. A man, named John Griffin, resid ing at Miltown, in that neighbourhood, having hat a trifling dispute with a relative about some money transaction, pledged a saw for 3d., and having purchased sonic arse nip, Le mixed it in a running stream in a mug, and drank it off. So determined to effect his purpcse was the unfortunate felow, that he was observed by some persons, not aWare of his deadly intention, to rinse the vessel, and again to swallow the contents. Immediately after the fatal act, Griffin went up to some men haymaking in a neighbour ing field, and said, " Boys, you'll not be troubled with me long —l'll be dead before two hours; I've taken this mug full of arsenic." Various antidotes were used by a medical man in the town, without effect.

OF AVOIDING THE INCOME ,TA X.—A wealthy l a ndowner,living near Wey °ridge, in Surrey said to be worth 18,0uoi. a year, derived f rom land, has ' given all his servants notice that he mast reduc e their wages, on the plea that the Income-tax compels hint to become econo mical ! This Income-tax , then, of three Per lent., is thus con verted into a tax of probably ten or twelve per cent. upon the poor. It was a pretended merit of the tax--a good t o b e set against its many evils—that it did not touch the incomes of the labouring class, yet here we have a wealthy lando wner , w h o ought. to be the first to step forward to reliev e the exigencies of the State, meanly taxing his butler and his coachman, to the extent of an eighth or a tenth of their miserable incomes, on c the ground that he, forsooth, itnnot now afford t o g.ve such high wages as heretofore. —Liverpool itiereary. A survey has been made of the injury done -to St. Martin's Church, from which it appears that the lightning entered the clock house, and forced open the door of the clock, and also that of a box standing near it ; it then entered an averture of the floor, and tore up the massive boards two or three inches above the level ; after which i: pass: it 'out of the cir cular window above, with such tremendous force !ha: the I wo side stones ot' the niche were dislodged from their places and 'ell on the ivif of the church. Th e electric fluid was distinctly seen to Golden Cross yard, when it struck ' ttl i.a.,s over theagaws .e 'n a Int one , • Lund and expended itself i .. . Italy blaze.

COURT CIR( ULAR.

JULY 30, 1842. -Ati k THE LATE THUNDER STORM. Accounts continue to be received from varieus parts of the country of the disastrous effects of the tremendous and almost unparalleled storm of thunder and lightning which occurred on Wednesday , night and Thursday morning. It appears to i.mfve been pretty general, al though some places were partially and some wholly free free from the awful visitation. At Norwich the rain fell copiously, and some lightning was observed, but no thunder was heard. Uxbridge also was hut partially visited. The fine old steeple of Devizes church was rent in twain, the works of the clock destroyed, part of the metal being melted, some of the bells injured, and part of the roof destroyed by some fragments of the steeple falling thereon. Ds consequence of these injuries it is understood Divine service will not be performed therein on Sunday nc7•t. The damage is suppostd to amount to upwards of 1,000/. Ls:QUEST—DEATH FROM IstorlTNlNG.—Last evening an inquisition was taken befiass Mr. Wakley, at the Seven Stars, New-road, Hammersmith, on the body of George Brill, aged 60 years. who was killed during the awful thunder storm on the morning of Thursday last. The Jury having be en sworn acertnpanijd the Coroner to view the body, which was lying in one of the lower rooms on the premises. It presented marks of the powerful effec:s of the electric fluid, which had struck the deceased on the right side of the head. literally tear ing his hat into shreds. It had then passed down the right side ..f his neck, down his chest, stomach, left thigh, and leg, and then passed out on the inside of the left heel. The skin along which it had passed was exco riated as from burning, and the boot was burst open and torn from the sole at the heel. On their return to the inquest-room, the following witnesses were examined:— Thomas Alway, a labourer, residing at No. 10, CrOM•s well's-buildings, Bradmore, hatronersmith, deposed that he knew the deceased, who was a labourer on the roads, and lived at Turnham-green. On Thursday morning, about ten minutes before six o'clock, w bile passing arong the New-road, he discovered the deceased lying on the road, on his face, near to the end of Farm-lane, with his coat tails turned up over his head. He was quite dead. Witness did net see hint fall, but there was a heavy flash of lightning, followed by thunder, a minute or two before, which turned witness completely round, which, in his opinion, must have struck deceased and killed him. Thomas Weaving deposed that he was standing at the gate of the yard of that house on the morning in Ties ' don, when he saw thu deceased pass along, and in less than five minutts afterwards he was called on to assist in removing the unfortunate man. He noticed as he carried him that there was some blood on deceased's left heel. The COaONER said the effects of the lightning were so apparent on the head, stomach, and heel of the deceased that there could be no doubt as to the correctness of the evidence given by the witnesses. It was most remark , able that in such an awful and terrific storm no other life ' should have been sacrificed ; and it was extraordinary that, during the three years of his office, he believed that was only the second or third case of the kind, amongst a population of 2,000,000 persons. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of " Died from the effects of lightning." - 7 0 // STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE. LEEDS, JULY 29.—The in quiries for foreign wool this week have been rather less extensive than during the fortnight or three weeks pre vious, but without any assignable cause ; the descriptions chiefly in demand at present are the middle and lower qualities. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY 29.—Our re port of this branch of trade during the present week does not vary materially from that 'of the previous one. Sales have been limited in extent ; prices are quoted without any alteration. YORK oot. M ARKET, JULY 28.—This day the supply of wool was rather large, and many buyers were present. Several lots changed bands without any material altera tion in price. Best quality 125., 12s. 3.1. to 12s. 6d. per stone ; Ewe 11s. to t ls. ; Locks is. 6d. to Bs. ;,boor Wool 63. to 7s. The buyers for the future have agreed to attend only every other week._ WAKEFIELD WO4 MARKET, JULY 29.—We are un able to report any improvement in the *ool trade. Very few sales can be effected in any description either of long or short wools, and last week's prices are barely sustained. DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, JULY 29.—The quantity of wool offered to-day was rather larger than last week, but scarcely so many buyers. The trade was not so brisk, but prices were about as last week.—Super Hog, 13s. to 13s. 6d. ; Hog and Ewe, I Is. 9d. to 12s. 6d. ; Ewe, 10s. 6d. to I ls. 9d. ; Locks and Cots, 7s. to Bs. 6d. per stone. BULL WOOL MARKT:T.—Preparations for the East Riding Agricultural Meeting at Beverley yesterday, added the operations of the hay fi e ld— w h ic h are - 4 paramount importance at this moment=Caused a very slack attendance of sellers on Tuesday, but intimations were received from several that their produce was reserved for next week. The very short supply causetr a trifling ad vance in prices, which, however, was reluctantly sub mitted Herald. TRADE or LEEns.—The markets at our Cloth Halls on Saturday were about an average of those during the last few weeks, but on Tuesday there was as little busi ness done as on any market day during the year. Prices are 'without' any alteration. There: have been more buyers in the town this week than for some time past, and though they purchase very sparingly, it has caused a little improvement in business in the warehouSes. We are, however, warranted in stating that there is not half the business doing that is usually the case at this season. TRADE. OF IlomnrinTD.—Trade does not improve in this neighbourhood, as the supporters of Government would have the country believe; on the other hand, it gets worse. We make this statement after having made extensive inquiries of both merchants, manufacturers, and workmen, connected with the district. • Such manu facturers as are partially employing their workmen, state that it is to a loss ; and many are determined, unless things speedily improve, to stop their works altoo- ' ether. Sonic of the domest:e clothiers are strivin g t o go t half cake by forcing sales, just to keep their own families in work. Such ot . the clothiers as have no machinery of their own to go out of repair, and who have considerable socks on hand, have given over making ; a n d th ere are many workmen who have now been three and four months wholly unemployed. More wool has been pur chased during the last fortnight than on several wueltti past, but not with an intention of bringing it into work at present. fiRADFORD MARKET, TLIERSDAY.—The attendance of buyers to-day in the Piece Market is a fair average ; the demand for plain and fancy goods rather improved, but no better prices obtained. The yarn trade continues very similar to our last report. We do not learn that ! any improved prices have been realised to-day, nor is it likely that spinners will increase their • operations until there is a change in their favour. The better supply of wool in this market, noticed last week, is fully supported. The sales during the week are unimportant, chiefly aris ing from the difficult position of the spinner, who cannot realise the cost of production. Prices remain about the same as last week.—Leeds Mercury. NOTTINGHAM TRADE. - The plain cotton ho;e branch in the villages is bad indeed, and nothing can exceed the misery of the stockingers. The glom trade, both silk and cotton, is nearly in the same deplorable state, the hands being short of emp!oyment that makes them reckless of seeking for labour, nor is the worst yet come, for the hosiers are rapidly and almost generally stopping their frames. The silk hose branch, like u wounded snake, " drags its slow length slung," making cheap hose, such as five scores, and four scores and fif teens. The streets of Nottingham present a woeful ap pearance.—Derby Chronicle. _ FRUITFUL ViNE.—There has been counted on a vine belonging to Mr. Candy, Lemon-row, Truro, the almost incredible number of 875 bunches of grapos, Should they come to maturity, of which, from their pre sent healthy appearance, there can be no doubt, they may be expected to weigh ilb. each, at a very low average ; equal to 8 cwt. 3 qrs. 1 lbs. the weight of the whole. Although an out-door vine, some of the grapes are nearly full size.—Plymouth Herald. Dysentery of a very severe kind is now prevalent in the neighbourhood of Kilrush, arising from the use of un ripe potatoes after a hard summer of keen starvation. Many families were fainting and famishing on one meta a day of herbs and gruel. These afflicting scenes must recur while the precarious poti.toe continues the staple food of the bulk of the people.—Limerick Reporter. ASHTON-IN - MACILERZIELD.—There are a great many people out of employment. Those who make the various articles of iron, such as locks, bolts, hinges, &c. Nv ere last week " tasked" a secon d ti m e ; in o th er wor d s , were prohibited from doing more than a certain quan tity of work in the week ; the masters urging as a rea son their utter inability to pay wages to the amount they have been accustomed to do. Orders are becom ing " rare things," and cash very difficult to meet with. As this is the second time the masters have availed themselves of " tasking" their workpeople, the latter find it absolutely impossible to provide fur their families and pay their way.—Ainnchester Times. A letter from Sevine,:of the 11th inst. , states that the heat had been so intense there for several days, that a great number of persons had quitted the place to proceed to a cooler situation. SUDDEN DEATII OF A GENTLEMAN.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Chequers l'avetn, lsieworth, on the body of T. Miller, Esq., aged tso, a gentle. man of large fortur.e. From the evidence it appeared that tae deceased resided in Isleworth.vale, and was of very retired, and steady habits, enjo3ing the best of health. Olt Tuesday night he ate heartily of pickled salmon, and shortly after re. tired to rest. Having been in bed about two hours he WIL4 seized with a swimming in the head and sickness. A medical man was in.mediately tent for, who bled him. He died the following morning. Mr. Manning, the surgeon who was called in, attributed death to an attack of apoplexy. Verdict— " Died by the visitation of God." THE AMERICAN Ar.ou.—One of those plants, which Saturday M.l :;ext 'l he . gardener -- is said to flower only once in 100 years , is now in full blow at Flarder, h Grange, the te,: show eato W. . ti l t t e . I F , u e b r i r , a c n o d n , Esq, , Leeds Conservative Journal. "Is not Cowes a sweet place ?" said a gay lass as she tripped across the parade by the side of a dashing gentle man. "It is indeed," he replied, " but is it to be wondered at when we consider the sweet things we have here." " Sweet tLiuT~!" sighed the lady, considering herself at least o ne o f them, it' riot the swe e t est o f the whole, and very naturally ex • pecting a compliment, or perhaps something more; and where m. e s n u t,s e t thin is the lays that would tout?—.but we are a ll b orn to disappoint and so was t h e lady, for the yachtsman replied-- . yes, look at those twelve large ships, they are all loaded with sugar." " Sugar I" " Yes, sugar; they con tain at the least 6,000 tons; that place must be a sweet place to w hieh so many sweet things are brought." The gentleman stepped into hi:. boat—the lady tacked and stood fur home. ham and squalls. We regret to hear that it is intended, in conse quence of the great demand for granite, to split up and remove the " Tolmen" or ..Mainrock," in the parish o f C onstant i ne . We trust there is to truth in the rumour. Granite surely cannot be so scarce in Constantine and Alabe as to render it necessary to demolish one of the most remarkable objects in the county.— Cornwall Gazette.
