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 8s 6d. Pork Carcases—The quantity was about equal to that of last week, put prices were rather lower. Large coarse Pigs 6s per score ; good pork, 63 5d ; prime ditto, 7s ; and small dairy.. fed pork 7s to 7s 44 per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s 6(1 to 9s each ; geese, 5s Gd to Gs 6d ditto ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5s 64 per couple ; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s ditto ; hares, 3s each ; pheasants, 5a to 6s per couple ; partridges, 3s ditto ; woodcocks, 4s 6d to 5s ditto; wild ducks, 4s Gd to 5s ditto; widgeons, 3s 6d ditto; teal, 2s 6d to 3s date ; snipes, is each. Butter, 12d to 13d tier 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 Si 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. Malting barley is about 3s per bushel. Grinding barley, 2s 64 to 2s 9d. Oats is 104 to 2s 2d ditto. Fine Flour, 27s to 29s per sack, but the Lulk of the sales have been made at 2/s. Wool—Considerable quantities of wool have been offered, but the buyers will not go above 7d per lb, whilst the sellers are asking 7fd and Bd. It should, however, be recollected that the price now given, is an advance of 20 par cent. within the last three months. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. I.—The: market has been uniformly dull throughout 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 Mercury. BUTHIN, 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. The deal ings that &el 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. 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 Laming occurred in the quotations of any article, excepting wheat, which had a further fall in prices.

DUBLIN, JAN. 31 . —Another horrible sacrifice of human life has occurred in one of the workhouses of the south-west of Ireland. At Kilrush, a short time since, some thirty or forty outdoor paupers were burning wor kh o use ; and now, drowned the falling at Killarney, ofa by at Limerick, we have seven-and-twenty of the wretchedininates suffocated b y fi re, an d t h e li ves o f as many snore despaired of. Th e f o l low i ng par ti cu l ars are from the Limerick Ch ron i c l e , rece i ve d thi s morning :-- "It is our painful duty to record the particulars of a fatal and melancholy casualty which took place last night at Clare-street auxiliary workhouse, by which twenty-seven human beings lost their lives, and twenty-eight were seriously injured. Between eight and nine o'clock, shortly after the inmat s (500 females) had retired to resr, on the lofts of the store set apart for sleeping apartments, a false alarm of fire aas given by one of the wo men, whether with an idle intention of causing annoy ance, or by design, is unknown ; but so electric was the panic created, that almost instantaneously the females on the first left leaped front their beds, and, in the darkness, rushed in a body to the staircase, or ladder, leading from that portion of the building to the ground floor. The strenuous efforts of all to gain access, to the ladder, upon which several had crowded together, necessarily caused a crush and confusion, until ultimately the paupers on the other lofts congregated in the narrow passage, when the ladder broke, and numbers were precipitated to the ground' from a height of not more than 10 ft et. The scene that ensued is almost indescribable —the shrieks from below induced those above to press more eagerly towards the staircase, and as they came to the verge of the passage, down they fell iu crowds over each other. For some time all remonstrance was un availing to dissuade the paupers from rushing headlong to ruin, and before the suprising nerve and exertion of the matron, Mrs. Sleeman, and assistant-master, Mr. O'Shaughnessy, had effect, twenty-seven females were killed, or rather suffocated, from falling on the top of each other. The occurrence having become known outside, numbers of citizens proceeded to the auxilia r y establishment to render assistance. The Roman Catholic clergy congregated also, as there could not have been less than 20 present. The city police, with the mayor, were also in prompt attendance, and all united in relieving the sufferers, and extricating 6o dead bodies from beneath the half-suffocated group that lay struggling on the ground. The scene wits truly appalling, as the relatives and friends of those who were locat_d in the workhouse crowded before the premises, and as each dead body, or dying sufferer, were brought out on a door for conveyance to Barrington's Hospital, the pro gress of the carriers was violently stayed to catch a glimpse for recognition. At tea o'clock the number of dead bodies received into Barrington's Hospital was 27, and a more heartrending spectacle never presentcl itself; there lay, side by side, the livid remains of these unfortunate creatures who a few hours bt fore were in the prime of life. The majority were young and well looking females—indeed, some had the smile of innocence on their youthful countenances. The num ber received into tLe hospital seriously injured was twenty-eight, and of Close there are three not expected to recover. No blame is attached to the officers of the institution, as the melancholy occurrence originated with the paupers themselves. The Catholic clergy were up all night administering the rites of religion to the patients." The Limerick and Clare Examiner brings a bri€f sketch of the inquest, which was held yesterday, but the evidence, as far as yet published, throws no light upon the circumstance. That journal says:— " We understand a verdict has just been returned by the coroner's jury, censuring the act of the majority of the Limerick guardians, who approved of the recommen dation of the committee to take the Clare -street work house, censuring the committee also by whom the re commendation was made, and declaring that the build ing should forthwith be put in habitable order, and an yard. Some of the • open passage made to the jury were, we aro told, for returning a verdict of manslaughter against the guardians."

Mr. M. Wakley, at the Middlesex Hospital, on view of the body of Mrs. ElizAbeth Mitchell, aged 35 year', the wit's of Mr. Mitchell, the proprietor of the Crown public-house, at the corner of Broad•street, Golden-zquaTe. The deceased, while labouring under delirium tremens, leaped from a seeond-floor window into the 3 ard, a distance of 30 feet, and sustained some dread 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 ceased jumped from the window with a suicidal intent or not there was not sufficient evidence to prove." WARNING TO MAGISTRATES' CLERES.—The 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 permil 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 front of the Court-house, at Glasgow. Strenuous efforts had been made by a number of ladies and other uper sons to obtain a commutation of the se v n e t e en s ce, wh ll i t i their efforts were in vain.

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 YeArg, and URI IQ4 an 4444 gicntb§ old. FEW WO 'O.PATHY ; er, Swedish Mee. 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 Augustus George. The public are indebted to the writer of this valu able Paznphlet f or b r i ng i ng them acqua i nte d w i t h 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 f, esor, and their local action 'on the seat of the disease, The cures effected by apparently the most simple means, are truly surprisin g ; but simple as the means are, 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 an era when the' mind opens' itself eagerly and thankfully to the reception of new truths, more especially where the health is concerned, that first of blessings, without which life has no en joyment, with whatever attractions it may be sur-' rounded. Professor Ling was earnestly patronized and received every aid from the King of Sweden and the Swedish Government. A royal institution was established, and a certain numlY-r of pupils publicly taught, who devoted themselves to the teach ing and practice of the science of medical gymnastics throughout the country. The Pro fessor fully tested the therapeutic agency of muscular and local movements, by repeated obser vations and experiments. He observed by long and attentive application that movements were of different natures ; that they acted differently, according to the different organs influenced by them, 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 Branting, 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 Mr. George enters into a minute description of Professor Ling 's mode of operation, and of the prin cipal points of his physiological operations and views. A tabular view is given of the patients treated at the Central Institution at Stockhohn, 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, 1:1 may suffer. We recommend the general perusal ( f this pamphlet, from having witnessed the successful operations of Mr. George, to the surprising success of which we can bear testimony. LI RATURE nm..s . ON KINESC threat G y mnastic::: the INDIA, ANCIENT AND MODERN. Within the compass of sixty-four pages are here comprised the whole of the varied fortunes of the peninsula of Ilindostan, for a sum of the most trifling character. Inasmuch as the publication forms one of a new series of the " Librarrof Useful Knowledge," it is eminently entitled to consideration, affording as 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 " Manuseriptt of Erdely." At a period when the peaee 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 merits will only the more readily be appreciated. We commend it to the attention of all those who would aid in the advancement of the cause of civilization. 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. Wakley, the coroner for Middlesex, regarded as the staple of the poetry of Wordsworth. BAILY'S UNITED SERVICE RECORD Decidedly the most copiouQ, cheap, and compre hensive catalogue of the officers in the British army, the British navy, and the forces of the lion. East India Company, yet published. Nearly 30,000 names are here compacted together within the very portable compass of 228 pages. THE SHALSPERE ALMANACK. A clever little conceit has been embodied in this publication by the ingenuity of Mr. J. W. Lath. bridge. We can best intimate the character of the almanack by one or two almost haphazard quotations :- 10th September.—Attempted assassination of General Cavaignac, 1548. " The time is out of joint;-0 cursed spite! That ever I was born to set it right!" Hamlet, a. i. s. 5. 19th September.—Lord Brougham born, 1779. " I am sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips let no dug bark !" Merchant of Venice, a. i. s. 1. ith August.—A sea serpent seen by Captain M'Quhse, of H.M.S. Desdalus, 1841. " Very like a whale."—Hamlet, a. iii. s. 2. . 20th April.—Louis Napoleon Buonaparte 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?"—Macbeth, 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, motions, 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 for it." Love's Labour Lost, s. iv. s. 2. ♦nd so on throughout the 365 days, the scraps of verse front the golden works of Shakspere being sometimes delightfully appropriate. 1 d cord THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) An experiment has been instituted for the purpose of breaking up ice, which was attended with complete bao cess, aqd deserves notice on the eve of a new Ar ctic expedition. A trial was made, and the device tested on a large pond, covered over with frost several • inches thick. A hole was bored in the centre , and aja fi t w h i e th h g an u d n i p e o , w w d i e th r in a tr e o u d e u d ce u el e , tie s g usp w e i n r d e e d i e trhdroufrom h e d th a e m c p o . rk A , w u h e i x ch ple a si a e s n s w e a a s le e d ff w ee i t t e h d by means was toyr a e of excludeo a voltaic battery, and the result was agreeably surprising, the whole body of ice being instantly shattered into frag ments from the force of the concussion, and the space entirely cleared. A blast in the open air or under water in the ordinary state exhibits, comparatively, but a taint conception of the effect produced. Tire fact being estab lislied, the cause may, perhaps,„be thus satisfactorily explained :—Water is known to be incompressable ; it seems, therefore, probable that, when subjected to con fined end 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 on ployed in the operations of blowing up the wreck of the Royal George, and with which it is advisable thatesvery vessel proceeding to the northern reg ions may binders b plied. The proper depth to which the p ower in cy ought to be sunk in the sea earl be easilre ascer tained, sexedit order that there might not be anydnueee d reline° of the of strength arising from t! n . c a l e r nmpeen can t. b In like fired under manner, w aaisnoeardubein: icean n c annon . innary i z attached obne ttarre di rec tion,rescued when that co urse is deemed more convenient.

Such an agency, when its value is generally known, is sure to bo used as occasion requires, and will not fail to accomplish the desired object whenever cir cumstances demand its application.--K.
