I.—Cattle Market.—There has been a pretty full supply of all sorts of stock driven in, and though the demand has not been very brisk, most has been sold. Prices remain near the same as of late—the very best fat beef has brought full 2s per score, but good beef has sold at 83 to 85 6d. Pork Carcases—The quantity was about equal to that of last week, put prices were rather lower. Larg e coarse Pigs 6s p er score ; good pork, 6s 5d ; prime ditto, 7s ; and small dairy.. fed pork 7s to 7s 4d per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s 6d to 9s each ; geese, 5s 6d to 6s Gd ditto ; ducks, 4s Gd to 5s Gd per couple ; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s ditto; hares, 3s each ; pheasants, 5s to 6s per couple ; partridges, 3s ditto ; woodcocks, 4s 6cl to 5s ditto ; wild ducks, 4s 6d to 5s ditto ; widgeons, 3s 6d ditto ; teal, 2s 6d to 3s ditto; snipes, Is each. Butter, 12d to 13d per lb; eggs, 14 to 16 for Is. Corn Exchange, one o'clock— We have again to report a very depressed and heavy market. The millers are buying very cautiously, and 5s per bushel for the very best English wheat is the highest price we have heard, whilst very good wheat is selling at 4s 9d. These prices have completely drove the foreign wheat out of the market. Making barley is about 3s per bushel. Grinding barley, 25.6 d to 2s 9d. Oats Is 10d to 2s 2d ditto. Fine Flour, 27s to 29s per sack, but the Lulk of the sales have been made at 265. Wool—Considerable quantities of wool have been offered, but the buyers will not go above 7d per lb, whilst the sellers are asking lid and Bd. It should, however, be recollected that the price now given, is an advance of 20 per cent. within the last three months. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. I.—The: market has been uniformly dull thro ug h ou t the week, and to effect sales a slight concession in prices must be submitted to. The refined market continues very fair. Rum is in demand, but the short supply checks business.—Bristol Allerctiry. !thrum, JAN. 28,.—The market to-day was rather thinly attended, especially by the millers and dealers. The inquiries for grain were limited, and much remained unsold. Tho deal ings that did take place were at a further reduction in prices, the average being about for wheat, 13s ; barley, 7s ; oats, 5s per hobbet ' • fresh butter is per lb. RHYL, JAN. 29.—We have very little change to report in the position of this day's market. The transactions were on a strictly retail scale ; no alteration worth naming occurred in the quotations of any article, excepting wheat, which had a further fall in prices. Its average to-day was 13s per hobbet of 1681bs. The great fair of the 10th of February (falling on Sunday) will be held next Monday week. WETHERBY, JAN. 31.—White wheat 15s Od to 173 Od. red ditto 133 6d to 15s 64; barley 23s to 26s ; beans lls to 13s; oats 8d to 104. - . IV. Nl ' , , 111) kt 1, hurt PASSIONS. • - 1 4 1, 1yfe, .

Last week many letters from Lombardy announced this new Italian combination on the faith of Vienna cor respondence. The Duke of Modena is the wisest of Italian monarchs; he follows the constitutional sys tem, he does not exact 'extraordinary contributions, he takes no reactionary measures, he gives free circu lation to all journals of moderately liberal principles, be introduces reforms in the Administration—that is his system ; he aspires to be the founder of a kingdom of Upper Italy."

There ha's been a fair amount of business transacted during the week, and the inquiries for shares in leading mines are well maintained. It is gratifying to announce that another advance in the standard has taken place. Devon Great Consols have been done at an advance on last week's quotations. The general prospects of the mines are represented to be in a position highly gratifying to the shareholders. , The recent improve ments, but more especially the present appearances at Wheal Emma, afford ample cause for anticipating great results. South Tolgus and Treviskey and Barrier have been done at a considerable advance, arising from some important improvements; and an active inquiry for shares continues. South Bassett, Stray Park, Cern Brea, Trehane, and r.l7relawny, have also been in requeSt. CandurroWs are still in request. The prospects are represented a s hi g hly encouraging, especially in their progress towards the old mine. A winze below the 70 (2 fais. long, .by 5 fms. deep), has yielded nearly . 1,400/. of copper ore, with every prospect of the lode continuing productive. In cutting some ground in an old shaft a valuable branch of tin has been discovered, and the improvements generally are of a most cheering character. • Shares in the following mines have changed hands this week :—Devon e-reat Con so l s , S ou th T o l gus , West Caution, Trelawny, Treviskey and B arrier, Trehane, Ileignston Down Consols, Tincroft, East and South Tamar, Mary Ann, Daren, Bedford United, Kirkcudb r i g ht, T rema y ne , Tregorden, Tamar Con Sols, Owm Erfie, Wheal Gennys,..Devon and Courtenay, Stray Park, Cern Brea, Wheal Marga ret, At the Treviskey and Barrier bi-monthly meeting a dividend of .5/. per share was declared on Traviskey. The profit for the two months made by Traviskey ap pears to be 5861. Is.; and Barrier 551, reducing the balance against the latter to 571.145. 3J., and the cre dit to the former 361.'15i. Bd., with ore bills due, and not at maturity. At the Bedford United Mines bi-monthly meeting, a dividend of 1,0001. was declared for the - past two months, being ss. per share. The abstract statement of accounts presented showed a cash balance of 1,1621. 10s. 1 ld., and it also appeared that a profit of 3,830/. Is. 1 ld. was made in the last twelve months; and in the last six months a profit of 2,661/.145. Bd. had been realised, - arising chiefly in conscquence of the advance of standard for copper ore. The general accounts up to the end of April show . a balance of assets over lia bilities of 4,3331. 19'. 4d. An elaborate report, prepared by the manager, was presented and approved of by the meeting, re commending the sale of the south part of the mines, fo be annexed to the East Gunnis Lake sett, and worked conjointly, giving the option of the share holders in the Bedford mines to share pro rata in the new company, which will, no doubt, be readily ac ceded to, by the entire sanction of the proprietary, at the meeting convened for the 14th inst., to consider this important proposition. At the holy ford Copper Company's meeting, the balance-sheet for the six months showed a loss of 56a/. 12s. ld.-260/. of which has been expended at the 0:d Forge Mine, which has not yet proved pro ductive. The repOrt of the Holyford Mine is satis factory, inasmuch that the deepest level is productive of rich ore: The shaft is now down 9 ft. under the 30, and the tribute pitches are looking remarkably we" :51,1,S 5 '23,701 At the meeting of Cwm Erfin adventurers a call of Ms. per share was made ; the balance in favour of the adventurers was IG/. 19s. 93. The management of the mines was, by the unanimous sanction of the' meeting, placed in the efficient hands of Messrs. J. Taylor and Co. At the Tresavean meeting, the accounts showed— Ores sold for Nov. and Dec., 1,951/. 14s. 4d., and a balance in hand of 8461. 19s. 4d. At the Trethellan meeting, a dividend of 5/. per share was declared, leaving balance at bankers of 1941. 4s. 11d. - At the West Trethellan meeting the accounts showed—Oros sold (less dues), 3411. 12s. 3d., and a balance in hand of 166/ 7s 11d. At the Ileignston Down meeting the accounts showed a balance in favour of the mine, 1451. 193.8 d., with liabilities, 5001. 17s. 10d , and available assets to rneet them, of 3001 In shares of foreign mines there have been nume rous and large transactions. St. John del Rey, United Mexican, Imperial Brazilian, and Copiapo shares have been much in request, and the very consider able improvements at Cocaes have brought the Na tional Brazilian shares in demand. Australian, San tiago, Cubre, and Alten have also been done. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (Mom the United Service Gazette of this thy.)

WEST INDIA REGIMENT.—We last week mentioned that a serious charge had been brought before the au thorities against an officer of the Ist West India Regi ment, and although we are in full possession of all the particulars connected with the ease, we yet forbear to give them publicity, the question as to what course it will be legally necessary to adopt in the matter being still under consideration. THE ROYAL CRUISE OF 1850.—We have good grounds fir believing that our most Gracious Sovereign will pro ceed on her summer cruise in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert much earlier than usual this year. The royal yacht is positively ordered to be taken out of dock by the 25th March, and be ready for sea in every re spect by the Ist April. It is reported that the Victoria and Albert will make an experimental trip to Gibraltar in April; and it will depend upon her performances during that trip whether her Majesiy will undertake the ♦isit to the celebrated Rock.

FR AN CE. A letter of the 18th ult. in the Deka, from Athens, says— " On the evening of the 16th a note, proposing thear- L itration of the other protecting powers, France and Russia, was placed in the hands of the English Minister by tho Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the same time the Greek Government communicated the note to the French and Russian Ministers, and solicited their inter venion with Mr. Wys , s, to induce him to accept his pro positions. This step met with no succes. The gn g lish Minister persisted in his former resolutions, but a fresh delay of twenty-four hours was granted. This term ex pires at the moment I tm now writing to you.

The deceased, while labouring under delirium tremens, leaped from a second-floor window into he 3 ard, a distance of 30 feet, and sustained some dread - fbl injuries in the fall. She died on Tuesday last at the above-mentioned hospital. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from delirium tremens; but whether the de ceasedjuraped from the window %itli a suicidal intent or not there was not sufficient evidence to prove." WARNING TO MAGISTRATES' CLERIIB.—TiI(I Cri minal Court of Appeal yesterday declared that the convic tion of Christopher and others, at Liverpool, was bad be cause the depositions, on which they had been committed, had been taken by the magistrate's clerk in the absence of the prisoners, and because the Recorder refused to permit the counsel for the prisoners to put a question to one of the witnesses for the purpose of eliciting from him what had passed between himself and the magistrate's clerk. The Chief Justice in giving judgment said "The clerk had done an act which the law would not sanction. The convic tion was therefore bad, and the prisoners must be dis charged. EXECUTION OF MARGARET LENNOX ALIAS HAMILTON.—This criminal suffered the last penalty of the law for the crimes of forgery and murder, on Thursday morning, in frent of the Court-house, at Glasgow. Strenuous efforts had been made by a number of ladies and other per sons to obtain a commutation of the sentence, but their efforts were in vain. During the three weeks which elapsed between the sentence and the execution, the unhappy woman conducted herself in a way becoming her awful situation, and it appears she was wellthe ac quainted with the Bible, and could repeat by heart greater exceedinglypart of the guarded, Psalrn s a n Ond so the farw subject fts of confession c f o r n o f m e sniloanksi making was t a i t i l e y e a r d ii m ne is o si n on a s i o le f a h r o t f ha h t er sh h e u m sb a a d .n e d a , n an a d tte o n f T h t e tofix mur dered woman. the daybefore her guilt, the her last execution, interview h e be besought t her e r h husband, an d confess,, o n if guilty ; she replied, she was not guilty, to her knowleage. By eight o'clock in the morning a crowd of 20 OW persons about , was assembled to witness the excels t i o n ; they consisted chiefly of people of the lowest grade, with numbers of women mixed up here and there with the mass . The miserable culprit, who had retained her firmness up to Wednesday evening, had undergone from that time a complete change, and become perfectly. helpless. She was supported on the scaffold between two officers of the police, by whose assistance she walked slowly to the gallows. The rope was then placed around her neck, and the officers having quitted her, she fell backwards, evidently in a swoon. The executioner at this moment pulled the rope, the drop fell, and she died instantaneously while in a state of in sensibility. The body, after hanging the usual time, was cut down, and interred within the precincts of the prison. The deceased was in the 25th year of her age ; she had been married two Tech and hall 10(1 all iaf tIiA Motile tid. INDIA, ANCIENT AND MODERN. Within the compass of sixty four pages are here comprised the whole of the varied fortunes of the peninsula of Hindostan, for a sum of the most trifling character. Inasmuch as the publication forms one of a new series of the " Library of Useful Knowledge,' it is eminently entitled to consideration, affording no it does a large amount of valuable information, and rendering that information accessible to all classes of the community. THE JUSTIFICATION OF WAR. A clever treatise on the famous • views of Aristotle has been here presented under the title above given, by Mr. George Stephens, already known by his dramas, essays, and "Manuscripts of Erdely." At a period when the peace movement is exciting so large a share of public attention, the little volume before us, written in a sagacious mood, and with con siderable argumentative point, will be perused with interest, and its merit s w ill on l y t h e more readily be appreciated. We commend it to the attention of all those who would aid in the advancement of the cause of civilization. r • LAYS OF THE LAKES. The principal merit in this little volume of poems, descriptive and reflective, by Catharine Ponsonby, is that of its inoffensive mediocrity. Otherwise we can say little in commendation, the book consisting of somewhat the same materials as those which Mr. Wakle3r, the coroner for Middlesex, regarded as the staple of the poetry of Wordsworth. BAILY'S QNITED SERVICE RECORD Decidedly the most copious, cheap, and compre hensive catalogue of the officers in the British army, the British navy, and the forces of the Hon. Nast India Company, yet published. Nearly 30,000 JUMPS are here compacted together within the very portable compass of 228 pages. THE SHAKSPERE ALMANAC! A clever little conceit has been embodied in this publication by the ingenuity of Mr. J. W. Leth • bridge. We can best intimate the character of the almanack by one or two almost haphazard quotations:- 10th September.--Attempted assassination of General Cavaignac, 1848. " The time is out of joint;-0 cursed spite! That ever I was born to set it right!" ILzmlei, a. i. S. 5. 19th September.—Lord Brougham born, 1779. "I am sir °rack, And when I ope my lips let no dog barli!" Merchant of Venice, a. i. a. 1. 6th August.—A sea serpent seen by Captain M`Quhaa, of H.M.S. DreJalus, 184 i. " Very like a whale."—Hamlet, a. iii. a. 2. 20th April,—Louis Napoleon Buonaparto born at Paris, 1808. " What is this, That rises like the issue of a king; And wears upon his baby brow the round And top of sovereignty ?"—Afacbeth, a. iv. s. 1. 7th February.—Charles Dickens born, 1812. " This is a gift that I have, simple, simple; a foolish extravagant spirit, full of forms, figures, shapes, objects, ideas, apprehensions, motion:, revolutions: these are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion: But the gift is good in those in whom it is • acute, and I am thankful fur it." Love's Labour Lost, a. iv. s. 2. And so on throughout the 365 days, the scraps of verse from the golden works of Shakspere being sometimes delightfully appropriate. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) An experiment has been institutA for the purpose of breaking up ice, which was at' ended with complete suc cess, mud deft), ves notice on the eve of a new Arctic expedition. A trill was made, and the device tested on a large pond, cotered over with trust several inches thick. A hole was bored in iho centre, and a jar filled with gunpowder introduced, suspended by a cord f,om the handle, wilt] a conductii g wire inserted through the cork, which was sealed with wax to exclude the damp. An explosion was effected by means of a voltaic artery, at.d the result was ay.( eioily surprising, the whole hAy or ire being in sh ore(' iris tr-;- ti fri,lll fhi for.:e C ;11, s o•T', 11,0 pa,e entirely cie.ircii. A blast in the of.en vi ouch r in the ordinary stage 4 xhibits, eowpmatively, but a f lint conception ot the effect produced. Tke tact be;ng estab lished, the cause may, perhaps, be thus satisfactorily explained :—Water Is known to be incompressible ; it seems, therefore, probable tl.at, when subjected to con fined and sudden action, it is calculated by nature to burst through all obstructions, and to rival the elastic power of steam. In case the plan is adopted on an extensive scale the neces sary apparatus should be similar to that rm• plc)} el in the operations of blowing up the wre.:k of the Royal George, and with which it is advisable that every vessel proceeding to the northern regions may be sup plied. The proper depth to w hi c h th e powder cylinders ought to be sunk in the sea can Le easily ascertained, in order that there !night not be any needless expenditure of the of strength arising from an undue pressureo element. In like manner, a loaded a c rhorizontal direc tion, when that course iscu on attached to a rope can be fired . un d er water scheme eou l o d f such modes a ship block , and its saf , ty secured.

A FEW WORDS ON KINESOPATHY ; or, _ Swidish 2lfedical Gymnastic s : th e Application of Active and Passive Movements in the Cure of Diseases, according to the method of P. 'N. Ling; and the importance of introducing Mechanical Agency into the Practice of Medicine. By Auguitus George. The public are i n d e b te d to t h e wr i ter of this valu able pamphlet for bringing them acquainted with Ling's system of treatment, a system the discovery of which forms an era in 'the history of medical science. In applying the word medical to gymnastics it is not intended to imply athletic exercises, but the agency of movements on the part of the medical pro fessor, and their local action on the seat of the disease. The cures e ff ected by apparently the most simplemeans, are truly surprising ; but simple as the means arc, they require a most perfect knowledge - of the anatomy of the human frame, a knowledge which lies at the foundation of all that is successful in medical science. We live in ati era when the mint opens iNe!f eagerly and thankfully to tte, reception of new truths, snore especially where the health is concerned, that first of blessings, without which life has no eii was earnestly patronized kiyment, with whatever attra . Ci.isms it may be sus - rounded. Professor Ling and received every aid from the :King of Sweden 4nd the Saedish Government. A royal institution was established, and a certain number of pupils publicly taught, who devoted themselves to the teach ing and practice of the science •of m e di ca l gymnastics throughout the country. The Pro lessor fully tested the therapeutic agency of muscular and local movements, by repeated ofieee vations and exp e ri men t s . He observed bilong an d attentive application that movements were of differ en t natures ; that they acted differently, according to the different organs influenced by theta, and that the phenomena they occasioned were" in some measure comparable to the effects of internal medicines. 'He further observed that by the application of general me chanical laws to those of the organization of the human frame we are - able to affect any organ by movements, and that due regard being had to the relation and state of the various organs, it will be easy to regulate and determine the requisite strength of the influence to be applied. Professor Braking, the head of the Central Institution in Stockholm, and Augustus George, the author of the present work, were the only two persons whose thorough anatomical know ledge enabled them to take the lead, and to acquire the reputation they obtained. In the present pam phlet Air. George enters into a minute description of Professor Ling's mode of operation, and of the prig / cipal points of his physiological operations and .views. A tabular v i ew i s g i ven of the patients treated at the Central Institution at tockholw, from July, 1848, to July, 1849; and the list of cures in the most afflictive cases are so extraordinary, and so well attested, as to leave no patient without hope, under whatever degree of nervous relaxtion or bodily debility, he may suffer. We recommend the general perusal of this pamphlet, from having witnessed the successful operations of Mr. George, to the surprising success of which we can bear testimony.
