At this day's market there was a fair general retail demand for Wheat, at fully 2J. per 70;b. advance upon the week's quo tations. _ _ Flour has found a steady but not large sale, at an average improvement of 6d. per barrel. Grinding Barley and Oats sell more readily, but without im provement in value. Irish Oatmeal is very dull, and 6d. to Is. per load cheaper, whilst several thousand barrels of the Canadian import has been taken for Ireland at 225. to 225. 6d. per 2401b5. Indian Corn was in tolerable request, at 335. 6d. to 345. for both white and yellow. ›.• .it 1 ''• az o r 4 Mlfil >q , •0 eta g 2 tri 1 : .< 54 -, r• - - c c, 9 . g' ~ `:. 7. ° '' e r' .g 4 g t , 5_ 3 Ei - ,- -Es-12... ~,k .141, e. 4 !A..Z 1 cp. ~" [f9,Ng . : ..7.=. ..39 '..= e."-T 'l l FL Z F T F,,,' P.- , 1 c z • ",..1 ~., ~..c1 ...-g m g • t..-.. ..=,:;--j• e s a 0 ,-, ;- 7 ;:l 43 :4 r - • ~ › 0 -cl 04 ;:.• tP . 0 -6-8 --. . ei w ..,": .3 .

Little has transpired during the past week materially influencing our commercial operations. We have still a large demand for Cotton ; in fact, the consumption of this article seems to be the ne plus ultra of legislation for which everything else must give way. Meanwhile Liver pool has little cause to complain. Blessed with a geogra phical position as a trading community, which enables us to pass unscathed through a period fraught with danger to many less favoured localities, whether our exports or imports are in excess, we are the greatest thoroughfare for commercial transit between England and the indus trious, peaceful continent of the West. Whilst in the in terior provinces, the withdrawal of protection has pros trated many lately-thriving branches of industry, and on the western sea-board the Danish blockade has turned her crowded ports into wildernesses, ( Hull, for instance, which is suffering severely from the stoppage of German traffic,) — we find the docks of Liverpool, like ant-hills, moving with busy life. Manchester and other manufacturing towns may doubtless participate for a season in this pros perity ; and when we allude in this column to the vigour or depression which may pervade those departments of trade in which Liverpool is especially interested, we wish to he clearly understood as neither singing peans of triumph for the free traders in the one instance, or funereal dirges in the other. We report things precisely as we find them, and as far as possible assign reasons for what we so report; but we think it possible, nevertheless, for Liverpool and the circumjacent districts to be in a most prosperous present state,—whether this may be perma nent or not, is a problem the solution of which time can only supply,—while other and large• communities are plunged in deep and irretrievable distress. Thus much we have said, in order that we may not be misconstrued, and that when we record the prosperity with which we have to do, we must not be understood as denying the disaster which may not come within the province of this article to enlarge upon. Our Share Market has not developed any new feature this week ; prices are almost unchanged, and there has been about the usual amount of business daily. The first report of the York and North Midland investigators has been issued, which is not unfavourably thought of. The stock has advanced 2 per cent. to-day. tondon Stock closes to-day 131 3 ; Do. new i-shares, 34 p; Midland, 66 7; Do.l-shares. 121 d • Lancashire and Yorkshire fifths, 3,1 d; Do. £32's, 64 d; Do. preference, 124; Do. L'pool and Bury, 101 d ; L'pool and Southport, 3 18/9 d; Birkenhead £22's, 84, d; Sheffield preference, 11 4; York and N. Midland, 30; Dover No. 4's, 64; L'pool Insu rance, 3 p ; Royal Assurance, 2 41/3 p. We have rather more enquiry for Sugar, and a board of Antigua was sold to-day at 375. @ 415., which is some what dearer: at this sale, in the lower descriptions, mer chants unquestionably got the advantage of the ls. reduc tion of duty. Molasses still continue to arrive freely. and purchasers seem disinclined to buy except at lower prices. Nothing new in Rum. There is rather more enquiry for Tea, and prices are looking up. There is more doing in Iron. Bars are 2s. 6d. to ss. higher —say £5 10s. f o b here, £5 in Wales. Scotch Pig Iron 445. to 455., mixed numbers, at Glasgow. Cotton has been very firm indeed to-day, sales 9,000 to 10,000 bales (2,000 on speculation), at extreme rates, with a tendency to harden. The steamer is hourly ex pected, and her intelligence looked forward to with much interest, as should the receipts have fallen off, or any fur ther discouraging accounts come to hand about the crops, it will have a great effect upon this market. The mar ket was also very steady on Saturday, and 8000 bales were sold, 6500 American, the remainder as follow :-500 Per nams (for export), 400 Maranhams at 41d. @ 5d., 200 Bahia at sd. to 51c1., and 400 Egyptian at 5-I{l. @ 64d. The Wool market still continues very quiet, although we have experienced a better demand than for some time past. We have still a good inquiry for Foreign, but as there is not a very good assortment in the market, transactions have been limited. A few lots of Turkey, Peruvian, &c., have met with buyers at full rates. The London sales, which commenced on the 3d instant, consist of about 30,000 bales Australian, which are progressing very fa vourably at firm prices. The imports for the week ending 7th July comprise 225 Foreign, 180 Irish, 22 Scotch, and 47 English. There is a little more doing in Flour to-day, and holders are asking rather more money than on Friday, in conse quence of the mills being short of water. Indian Corn is rather easier, by reason of the accounts from Ireland, which all report lower markets, resulting from the abun dance of vegetables, and the cheapness of bread. The principal imports into Liverpool since Monday, up to Saturday (inclusive,) comprise a moderate quantity of Wheat, chiefly from the Mediterranean ; 27,586 brls. Flour, from Canada and the States ; 24,623 qrs. Indian Corn ; and 7,369 brls. of Oatmeal from Canada alone, (which is an unusually large quantity of this article from that source.) There has been a much heavier business done in Ameri can Bacon this week at somewhat irregular prices. Messrs. Black, Barnes and Whittingham state that there is still a good demand, and holders of sound good meat are de cidedly firmer ' • Long Middles, of favourite cures, have been sold at 36s to 40s ; fair quality 30s to 32s 6d. Short Middles have gone off freely at 28s to 32s 6d, principally for the Irish market. Hams, in dry salt, of middling quality, brought 29s to 31s. A fair business bas been done in Shoulders. Little doing in Beef. P.M. Pork, of low quality, has been sold at 35s to 40s. One parcel good grease Butter brought 38s, at auction, on Tuesday. Little or nothing doing in Cheese. Lard continues steady, the sales are 80 tons, chiefly at 34s per cwt. Irish Butter is ls. to 2s. per cwt. cheaper to-day, at which the market still rules dull. The imports for the last week amount to 8,160 flskins, 1,231 crocks. EDINBURGH.--VALUE OF A WOODEI! LEG.—On Wednesday evening as a barouche, containing a tipsy party, was being driven up the street by a tipsy driver, , the pole of the vehicle came against a tipsy man and knocked him over. One of the wheels of the vehicle .went over one of the man's legs, and snapped it asunder. Luckily, the leg was a wooden one, so that its owner was as entirely free from pain as if he bad been under the influence of chloroform. He was, of course, so effectoally disabled as to be unable:to walk home; but, we under- stand, the driver of the barouche is to furnish the cripple with a handsome new leg in lieu of the one he broke by his carelessness.—North British Mail. .t....,,~..~ FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

ERJEANT'S LOTION, the only effectual Remedy 1,3 against Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout Sciatica, and Lum bago. Sold by the Proprietor, G. C. SEHJ ' EANT, No. 7, Li ven's-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of Medicine. Price 25... 9d. per Battle. - . - - This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gairing even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice aAd every ether means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow mg testimonials : Well-street, Cripplegate. STR,—I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dicta attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made Known to me, r I might have been to this day confined to my bed. Afters ;1 ose appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion ) an to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,— D. W. Sromt. 14, Belmont-place. TVandstrorth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. SIR S I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer. ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection ir the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD Noyles. M.rleu's Hotel. Strand, 18th August, 1846. Sia,—l have hitherto had a prejudice against Having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Sedeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion. I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that whicn was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom nain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I hay. not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, VICLENNEVE.

The late Lady Blessington, and her sister, too, Lady Canterbury, both declared themselves in possession of evidence tending to establish a not very near relationship betwixt Madame Catalani and themselves : their version of her parentage being, that her mother was kinswoman to theirs, and that the child had been carried to Italy at an early age. There was certainly a resemblance among these three beautiful women strong enough to pass for a family likeness, when attention had been drawn to the subject. • `eftwatz",74---- H ,V THE POOR LIVE. The Times of yesterday contained some lamentable particu'ars o ,Le condition of the people living in Church street and Carrier-street, situate on the extreme verge of St. Giles, and within 20 yards of handsome buildings, lately erected in New Oxford-street. The reporter who gathered the statistics was accompanied by a police-officer. Church-street is about 15 feet wide, very ill-paved, and containing ruinous houses, having generally five rooms, but sometimes more. These houses are let by the owners to men and women, who again let out the rooms singly and by twos, and these rooms are again sublet by the occupants to those outcasts and trampers who are in want of a night's shelter. These are charged id., and sometimes 2d. per night, and many are admitted for "anything they can give," or for nothing, according to their state of poverty and destitution. No limit is placed to the number of persons so admitted, except the capacity of the room ; and men, women, and children, more or less naked, repose nightly in these places, occasionally on old beds stuffed with straw, sometimes on straw and shavings, without covering, but by far the larger part sleep on the bare boards, and in the back rooms, which are destitute of boards, on the bare earth. In the house, No. 3, Church-street, there are fire rooms. The landlord, or occupier of the ground-floor, stated the average in summer to be thirty, but much more in winter. There are no drains, and there is no privy, the door leading to the space dignified with the name of a yard having been locked to make room for the " improve ments." The inmates of this and the two adjoining houses go to a privy at a shop at the corner of the street, at which shop they sometimes leave the rent. The stairs are so incrusted with dirt that weeds might grow upon them, and are also so dilapidated as to make it a matter of risk to ascend them. The rooms vary from six to seven feet in height. It is scarcely possible for them to be dirtier, and the atmosphere is unendurable. The filth and offal are thrown into the street or court, from which it is swept by a man who is engaged for the purpose. All the inmates joined in condemning the atmosphere as " enough to poison anybody," and in a hearty wish that something might be done to alleviate their sufferings from this cause. Any inquiry as to the existence of fever was met by the reply, " Oh, they are all taken to the hospital ;" but the mephitic air was often too sudden in its action to allow of these cases being taken in time, as will hereafter be seen. This house is a sample of the rest of the street. Carrier-street contains about 20 houses, and is perhaps the most digustingly filthy spot that exists any where in London. At the corner of the street, or rather a few yards from it, there is a narrow bricked alley,--not wider than a doorway. On going down it, as soon as the eye is enabled to perceive anything, in tLe dim light, an opening is seen on either side, each being an entrance to a staircase so filthy, so offensive, so repulsive to every sense, as to render it impossible to give an idea of it. On going up one of these—a matter of risk and difficulty—five or six different doors are perceived leading to as many rooms, and each of these again let to as many families. In one room, not ten feet long and less than five wide, lived four families, comprising in all sixteen persons, eight adults and eight children. One corner of the room was occupied by a heap of straw used as a bed, and near it, on some old rags, was lying a child sufferingapparently from fever. The mother was crying near it, and, pointing to a small mouldy biscuit from which a small portion had been taken, said that that was all she had had to give her child for many days. A man who was lying on the floor in a corner of the room corroborated this statement, and said that he would be very glad to work for anything instead of starving in that den. The appear ance of the inmates was a guarantee for the truth of their assertions, want being to be seen in every countenance. A stout young Irishwoman, who seemed better off and more intelligent than the rest, complained bitterly of the smell which pervaded the house (it was so bad in this room as to render it difficult to breathe.) There was no water in the place. Some medicine had been given to the mother of the child by a dispensing surgeon to whom she took it. The medicine when brought into the room in the evening was quite red ; in the morning it had turned quite black. It was no doubt the air which had changed it, poisoned as it must be by the breathing of so many persons in one room. It appeared at the first sight of this room to be physically impossible that 16 persons could sleep in it •, and indeed there could not be room unless some of them rested in a sitting position in the angles of the wall with their children on their knees. In the room next or next but one to this, and of much the same size, three families resided. There were not so many to sleep in it at night—the number stated was eight or ten persons. On a bed of shavings, and covered only with a sack and some cotton fragments sewn together, lay another child, also suffering from low fever and diarrha. It was a boy about seven years old. He was quite naked. The father could get no work, and they had nothing to give him. The poor child seemed to gaffer much from the fever. In a room above these, and nearly as large as two of them put toge ther, several Irish families resided. In a corner, with only a few rags to support her head, in her day dress, and with a sack thrown loosely over her, lay a woman, whose features indicated the rapid avroach of death. She said that she was a stranger—a poor widow with one child. She had applied to the inhabitants of the room for shelter on the previous night. They said that she had " not long to live by the looks of her ; but they could not refuse her." No one had sent for the doctor. Her child, a girl of about 15, sat by her side crying as if her heart would break. This woman laboured under symptoms of cho lera. In another corner of the room was a long bag stuffed with straw, and on this a woman, her husband, and two children slept. One boy in the room was pointed out as having slept on the stairs for the last twelve nights. He was a " strange boy," no one knew where he came from. He had had nothing to eat for two days except a crust of bread given to him by a woman who pitied him, though she could ill spare the morsel she gave from her own children. This woman said that they seldom tasted meat—hardly ever. They did not expect it. They were glad to get bread, and they had not often enough of that. At the bottom of the staircase, and about two feet below the landing, from which it was entered by the door, was the bedroom of a tailor named John Crow. Ties room had a bed in it. It was about six feet square, with no window, and it was impossible to see anything in it without a candle, even on the most sunny day. This unfortunate man complained that the landing outside his room door was used by the residents as a privy. The poor man spoke very angrily of the annoyance he was put to by the soil running into his room. It came in at night under the door; the smell was almost suffocating; and he was obliged often to rise and clean out his room—at least to clear away the soil— before he or his wife could sleep. The next house to this was, with the exception of the cases of fever, &c., a repe tition of the last. There were four or five houses at the extreme end of the street, which were a degree better than those described. The man who was the landlord of them pointed in triumph to a clock and some crockery in one of the rooms—a miserable place enough in itself, but a paradise compared to many near it. The cellars in this street are the next object of attention. A flap in the pavement being opened, it rather surprised the bystanders to find that the cavern below was in habited. It was about 11 feet square, and when the flap or lid was down must have been quite dark. There were women and children in it, and the atmosphere was thick and moist with offensive effluvia and exhalations. There were two beds filled with shavings in the corners, and when the tenants came in shavings were spread over the floor generally, and they lay down to sleep. There are ten or twelve of these cellars. A list in the possession of the police sergeant returns the average of the inmates in this locality at from 16 to 18 per room. The same sergeant states that in 14 small rooms he counted one night 150 people—men, women, and children, nearly all naked. and sleeping in promiscu ous heaps. At many of the houses the police-sergeant was obliged to assure the inmates that "no harm was meant" before those who went on this sorrowful expedi tion were admitted. It is worthy Qf observation that the Rev, Mr. Watts, a clergyman who resided in Endell-street, and officiated at the new church there, died about eight months since in consequence of visiting this locality. HARVEST PROSPECTS. The weather still continues to further the already fa vourable condition of vegetation in all parts of the United Kingdom. Our immediate district teems with an abun dant growth ; and although the want of rain throughout the northern counties of England had begun to be se riously felt; the copious showers and milder temperature which have supervened during the last day or two have set all things right again. In the south of Ireland also, high parching winds had been succeeded by refreshing showers, which continued at intervals for several hours, and would doubtless exercise a beneficial effect on turnips and spring corn, which required moisture. The weather in the dis trict about Belfast has been changeable, with rather a low temperature, but the crops are progressing satisfactorily. A correspondent, whose imagination seems to be rather impressed with the magnificence of the conception of the tube bridges, says that Mr. Stephenson must henceforth be regarded as the greatest of engineers, as, whatever diffi culties others may have had to encounter, no one ever passed over so Menai Straits. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. — Preparations have been made for conducting the entertainments at these gardens during the race-week on a scale of unusual brilliancy. Mad'lle Lucie Duval, of whose elegant statuesque and pictorial poses the press, as will be seen by the advertisement, has spoken in the most favourable terms, will give some of her most graceful representations. The fireworks will be of the most splendid description. The gardens are now in the most luxuriant condition, and afford a delightful lounge during the cool summer eve Lings. We can add to the account, given by our contemporaries, our own impressions as to the beauty and chasteness of Madam'lle Lucie's delineations. Her splendid figure is unsurpassed ; and the grace and poetry of her embodiment of the beau tiful conceptions of the great sculptors and painters of ancient and modern times, combined with the youth and freshness of her countenance, lend a charm to her per tbrmances which we meet with in no other artiste. We may mention one of her delineations—her Venus rising from the sea, after Etty's picture, in which the effect of these characteristics of her person and genius are espe cially manifested; but indeed the whole of her perform ances, and those of her companions, are brought before the spectators with surpassing' beauty and effect. A MOST AWFUL WOUND CUBED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINT MENT AND PILLS. —George Morris, a mechanic of Newport, was, for months, ren dered totally unable to work, or even mo ve about the house, from the effects of a dreadful abscess which had formed in his thigh, and which had been repeatedly lanc e d under the advice of various surgeons; ultimately, he was ad mitted into the hospital, from whence, after the best medical skill had been tried, he was dismissed as incurable; yet to the astonishment of all, this dreadful bad wound was soundly healed by the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, a supply_" of which was kindly presented to him by the minister of his parish. :~= Pft - rA , 467. SION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The aide-de-camp of General Oudinot has informed me that Garibaldi, with 5.000 or 6,000 men, quitted Rome on the morning of the 3d, taking the direction of Terracina, as it was believed. " The first division of the expeditionary army set out in pursuit of him on the 4th." The government have received a telegraphic despatch, not yet published, announcing the arrival of an aide-de camp of General Oudinot at Marseilles. He states that the French army entered Rome on the 3d. He quitted that city on the 4th. General Carrelet, commanding at Marseilles, received orders on the 3d from the Minister of War to embark the 67th Regiment of the Line with the utmost despatch for Italy. The order was executed on the 4th. Letters from Toulon of the sth instant announce that the corvette La Capricieuse, of the first class, was launched in that harbour on that day. Leiters from Cherbourg of the sth instant state that several of the insurgents of June confined in that fortress have been set at liberty. A letter from Rome, brought by the steam-frigate In-. fernal, which arrived at Toulon on the 2nd instant, an nounces that previous to the determination expressed by the Roman Constituent Assembly to surrender, a san guinary battle bad been fought on the 30th ult. between the French and Romans, which lasted five hours. After the bastion No 8 had been captured by the French, the fire of their artillery silenced the Roman batteries. The Romans lost 200 prisoners and 400 killed in the last action. The Paris correspondent of the Times says, "I believe that the French Minister at Gaeta has concluded an ar rangement not only with the Pope but with the Austrian representative, to the effect that his Holiness is to return to Rome, that the French are to evacuate the city, leaving only a garrison of 5,000 men, _ and that the Austrian re presentative has agreed, on the part of his government, that the Austrian troops shall evacuate Bologna and An cona, leaving a comparatively small number in the forts. It is further said that it was in consequence of this ar-. rangement that the army of the Alps was dissolved." The following is the manner in which the night attack and capture of the breach are announced in the papers issued by the Roman Triumvirate : " After a vigorous cannonade of 30 hours, silence was re stored. No one imagined that France would, like a thief in the night, steal into our city ; but it did so, and succeeded to a certain point. From the Porta Portese to the Porto S. Pancrazio the soldiers stole up in twos and threes, all protected by the darkness and silence of night, and entering by holes made in the walls, got possession of a bastion I,adly guarded by our troops. The first break of day showed them to us endeavouring to fortify themselves where they were, and to turn our own de fences against us. "At the first alarm in rushed the neople. The enemy is within!' Without consideration for the number of the enemy, without any regard for themselves, they ran to the point of danger. The bell of the Capitol tolled loud and heavily. The city rose in mass, and every man flew to his appointed post. " Romans !—ln the darkness of the night, by-means of trea son, the enemy has set foot in the breach! Arise, Rome! Arise, ye people, in your might ! Destroy him ; fill the breach with his carcase ! Blast the enemy—the accursed of God, who dare touch the sacred walls of Rome " Whilst Oudinot resorts to this infamous act,France rises up and recalls its troops from this work of invasion. One more effort, Romans, and the country is saved for ever I Rome. by its constancy, regenerates all Europe. " In the name of your fathers, in the name of your future hopes, arise, and give battle ! Arise and conquer ! One prayer to the God of the strong!—one thought to your faithful brethren 1 —one hand to pour gun Every man becomes a hero. This day decides the fate of Rome and the Republic ! " MAZZINI. " ARM ELLIN." " SAFFI." "June 22 LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (n EXPRESS.) The Emperor of Russia is evidently desirous of gaining over Louis Napoleon. He is sending to Paris the Duke of Leuch tenberg, who is cousin to the President of the Republic. THE WAR TN HUNGARY. Concerning the operation of the Itussari army in the north, another bulletin has come out, which imparts the following facts :—On the road from Kaschau to St. Mikolez the main army was divided in two corps at Neniethi, whereof one under the personal conduct of Paskiewich, entered St. Mikolez on the 29th ; the other, under Ceodajeff, marched in the direction of the Theiss towards Tokay. At 'Pokey a battle was fought with 400) Magyars stationed there. The Russian force consisted of 25 battalions of infantry and 50 squadrons of cavalry, making about 40,000 men. After an engagement of several hours, the Hungarians were driven from tile bridge, . which, however, they cut away after their passage. LONDON MONEY MARKET.—YEsTERDAy. The English funds, supported by an easy money market, continue to improve, and maintain a steady appearance. Consols for account were first done at 923, they then declined to 2, end have since been done at 924 and a. Consols for money were done at 920 4, and last at 92i. The Three per Cents. Re duced were dune at 924 0, and 920. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 934 4, and last at 538. Bank Stock have advanced to 196, and Exchequer Bills to 465. to 50s. premium. LONDON SHARE MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The share market is better this morning, and prices gene rally are !coking up. Guaranteed shares are still in active demand. London and South Westerns were done at 36; Mid lands at C 7. French shares are firm. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The supply of English Wheat at market this morning, by land carriage samples from the near counties, wals again short; and selectejt runs were readily disposed of at an advance of is. per qr. upon the rates of Monday last ; whilst secordary qua lities were saleable at fully that day's quotations. For choice parcels of foreign somewhat over previous prices was obtain able, but, generally speaking, the market cannot be called dearer. Flour was firm, at its previous value. Barley was in moderate supply and fair request, with the turn in price in favour of the seller. Good fresh Horse Corn being exceedingly scarce, needy buyers had to pay somewhat increased rates ; and Oats, generally, fully supported late quotations. Beaus and Peas, being scarce, brought rather more money. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The number of Beasts is not so large as of late, and, in con sequence, a few of the choicest make rather more money ; although 4s. is realised for a few of the best sizeable Scots, it is too much to quote as average of best qualities. The supply of Sheep is large, and the demand small. Lower prices are taken, especially for large polled Sheep and Ewes. Lambs are also a heavy trade. and very few make over 55. per 8 lbs. Calves are selling worse than ever, many of them can scarcely be disposed of at all. From Germany and Holland there are 425 Beasts, 1,500 Sheep, and 209 Calves ; from Scotland, 200 Beasts. Mr. Baron Platt has been obliged to postpone the Glamorganshire assizes from the 11th instant till the 13th of August next, on account of the cholera at Cardiff. Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy- has boldly issued his pros pectus for " a new series of the Nation," the first number of which is to appear on the 25th of August. The harbour of Fleetwood has been greatly improved during the last three years. It still, however, requires an expenditure of about £lO,OOO to complete the works. The increased traffic during the last two years is shown to have been extraordinary. SECRETS OF COMFORT.—Though sometimes small evils, like invisible insects, inflict pain, and a single hair may stops vast machine, yet the chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to vex one, and in prudently culti vating an undergrowth of small pleasures, since very few great ones, alas! are let on long leases. Within the past few days the cholera has broken out at Portsmouth, and bids fair, from the census of fatality in so short a space of time as three or four days, to become a long and devastating visiter of the filthy purlieus of that borough. About 20 cases have shown themselves in Portsmouth and Gosport within the past week. Four fatal cases in one house occurred on Saturday. RELIGIOUS EXPEDITION.—The Emperor of Morocco having solicited from the English Government the means of conveying two of his sons and suite to Mecca, on a pil grimage to the shrine of the Mussulmans' prophet, the Admiralty have acceded to his request, and have commis sioned the Growler steam-sloop, at Davenport, for the purpose. It is expected she will be ready to leave Englaud by the 26th inst., for Tangier, to embark the Princes of Morocco, and after she has conveyed them to Mecca, and back again to Morocco, will join Sir W. Parker's squadron for permanent service in the Mediterranean. A SLIGHT MISTAKE.-Apr. - resides in Harley street, London. His wife, who is an economical body, had sent a costly silk gown to a French dyer. The dyer himself brought the dress home, and unluckily met the lady of the husband at the door. "Is madam within ?" asked the Frenchman. The husband, who is of a jealous disposition, replied—" And, suppose she is, wi,st, do you want with her ?" " I'm dyeing for her, sare !" " Yon dying for my wife—get out of my house you scoundrel'." and he had just raised Irs foot to kick the honest artiza:! into the street; as the lady made her appearance and set the matter to rights. FIENDISH ACT.--ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Satur day evening, about six o'clock, a most diabolical attempt was made to destroy the lives of two ladies, the daughters of Dr. Stokes, of Portland-place, Islington, London. They were sitting in the drawing-room, when they were fired at by some ruffian. Police officers. who were on the spot watching some thieves, were instantly called into the doctor's house, and after the alarm had somewhat subsi ded they found a bullet embedded in the wall, it having passed over the ladies' heads, and then through a carved cornice. Every effort was immediately made to detect the dastardly scoundrel, but in vain. THE LADY ADA ALICE WHYATVILLE.—It will be re membered that in the course of last summer a person of interesting appearance and manners, who assumed this aristocratic title, figured in the police annals of Glouces tershire, and was tried for bigamy, and subsequently for larceny ; on the former charge she was acquitted but on the latter she was t r i e d a t th e Gl oucesters hi re Midsummer sessions, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. The cholera has paid a visit to Gloucester gaol, which has proved a lucky circumstance for many of the prisoners, who, upon representations made to the Secretary of State, have been released from durance before the expiration of their several terms of imprisonment, and Lady Ada was one of the fortunate batch. No sooner was site released, however, than she was at her dirty work again ; and, hav ing paid a flying visit to Cheltenham, she succeeded .in " doing" two or three of the tradesmen there; but finding the " Queen of watering " places too hot to hold her, she returned to Gloucester, where she took lodgings, borrowed a sovereign of her hostess, and deeatnped, hav ing first visited the scene of her late imprisonment, and actually succeeded in imposing upon the turnkeys, who did not recognize her, and treated her with the greatest respect. After a hterty laugh at the deluded janitors e left the gaol and town—the tradesmen hope for good' 1141W0F;141Q ii v V or th e raraediately, an ASSISTANT MASTER en lOat h E VERToN and KIRKDALE BOYS' SCHOOL :. to 0.,. have sotne knowledge of Music.
