Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade ruled heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Barley, oats, and all other articles moved off slowly, and prices were with difficulty supported. The reports from the Continental markets bring lower prices for wheat, with a heavy demand. From the United States we learn that scarcely any produce was being sup plied to England. Only moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad the imports were large, viz., 23,419 qrs. of wheat, 12,721 barley, 47,947 oats, 584 beans, 1,833 peas, 100 tares, 5,853 linseed, 3,480 rapeseed, 85 mustard-seed, 10 sundry seeds, 430 sacks and 1,3!,7 barrels of flour. The quantity of E❑glish wheat received fresh up to our market, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., was small, and the show of samples—amongst which were scarcely any of the new crop—was very moderato. The attendance of millers was limited, yet the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled somewhat steady. However, com pared with Monday last, scarcely any change took place in the quotations. There was rather an extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex•granary For all descriptions, we had a very dull inquiry, and last week's prices were nominally unaltered. New Kentish barley, in poor condition was on offer at 46s per quarter. Old English was dull, and light qualities of foreign were rather drooping in price. In the value of malt no change took place. The demand was far from active. Oats were in good supply, and slow request. Inferior foreign samples were rather cheaper, with a heavy de mand. Beans were in moderate supply, and slow request, at last week's prices New Peas were on offer at 42s per quarter. Old parcels ruled dull. We had a slow sale for flour, at barely last week's currency.

The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were very moderate, but their general condition was by no means first rate. Prime Scots, short horns, &c., were in fair request, and last Monday's currency was rea lised for them. Inferior beasts moved off slowly, but no actual change took place in their value. From Norfolf, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,400 Scots and shorthorns ; from the North, 540 short horns • f rom other parts of England 500 of vari ous breeds • and ' from Ireland 11 o xen .

Prime Downs and half-breds were in good request, at fully the prices realised on this day annight. All other breeds met a slow sale, yet no quotable change took place in their value. We were fairly supplied with lambs, in which about an average business was transacted at last week's currency. The supply of calves was limited, compared with some previous week's. The veal trade ruled firm, at 4d. per 8 lbs. above the rates obtained on Monday last. For pigs the inquiry was heavy, at about last week's quotations.

He was also so severely injured that when he took a little drop to drink, ho did not know what he was about. He would sooner assist the police than assault them. Mr. Combe asked whether he was known Sergeant Gardiner, 25 M, the acting inspector on duty, informed his worship that be knew the prisoner before he went to the Crimea, and he was then a very quiet man. lie had never seen him in custody before. Mr. Combe said that the police must be protected in their duty, and, as a caution to the prisoner, he should fine hint ss. The prisoner paid the fine and left the Court. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE DRUNKARD AND BAD MOTHER. — Mary Simmons, a bloated and dissipated-looking woman, abou , , 37 years of age, but who looked 50, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being drunk and dis orderly and assaulting her husband. William Simmons, a lighterman, said the prisoner was his wife, and a most incorriitible drunkr.rd, and that in consequence of her dissipated habits and cruelty to her children he was obliged to separate from her a long time ago. He put his children in the workhouse and main tained them there for two years to keep them be yond the reach of their depraved mother, and for the last two years they bad been under the care of a re , pectable elderly matron, in whose house he and his children were lodging. Yesterday afternoon he sent his children to a Sunday-school, attached to Trinity Chapel, West India-road. A few minutes after wards they returned home in a state of great terror, and said their mother was drunk and attacked them in the street. The eldest, a boy, was crying loudly, and said his mother had beaten him. He went to the end of the street in which he lived and there saw his wife, who was in a state of in , oxication and surrounded by a num ber of children Direcly she saw him she assailed him with the most foul abuse, and called him by the most opprobrious epithets. He remonstrated with her and she al tacked him with great fury and tore the shirt from his back. Prisoner—Not till you knocked me down three times. The husband said he did not strike his wife. Mrs. ElizAbeth Hughes, an elderly woman, said she had the care of the complainant's children. The priso ner frequently annoyed them and her. She was drunk and keeping up a continual uproar from 10 o'clock upon Saturday night until two o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Prisoner—My husband won't speak to me, or have anything to do with me. Mr. Yardley—l don't wonder at that. You have no regard to the character of yourself, your husband, or your children. You are a disgrace to yourself, and you want to make your husband and children unhappy. You are a very bad woman, indeed, giving way to a dreadful vice. You are sentenced to seven days' itn ;onment.

The Board of Trade returns for the past month were issued on Saturday. For the first time this year they fail to show an increase in the declared value of our exportations. The difference on the other side, how ever, is but 30,2471., and it is to be remarked that the month of June, 1856, was one of extraordinary activity, since, as compared with the preceding year, it showed an augmentation of 2,500,0001. The chief falling off in the shipments on the present occasion has be e n in cotton rnaeufacturee. It amounts to 391,534/., but may be rsgarded merely aet a natural reaction from the enormous increase of 850,4591. presented under that head in the preceding month. In a majority of the other principal articles the totals are on the favourable side. LIFE-BOAT SERVICES. LYTHAM, NEAR PRESTON, July 21.—(From our own correspondent).—To day the Inspector of Life-boats (Capt. Ward, R.N.) to the Royal National Lite-boat Institution, took the life-boat beloeg. ing to the society at this place afloat for inspection and exerciee, agreeably to the general instructions of the institution regarding all its life-boats which he visits. When off the Horsebank Sand, five miles from Lytham, they saw a ves-el anchored in a dangerous position, six miles further, on the edge of the Crusader Bank. The lifeboat accordingly set sail, and ran over some inter vening shoals, through some broken water, to the vessel's assistance. The master of the schooner appeared to be quite ignorant of the coast, and was much frightened at his position. He requested the life-boat's crew to put two of their hands on board and to tell him what to do. His request was complied with, and he was told to slip b , th his anchors and to run to tl e northward. if the life boat had not put off to the vessel's help there can be r o diaibt that before the morning she would have gone to pieces, as she would have been aground long before low water. She was a beautiful schooner (the Philanthro pist) belonging.to Aberystwitb, and quite new, this being apparently her first voyage. Mr. Edmonds n, tle hon orary secretary of the Lytham Life-boat Branch, was also in the life-boat. The boat behaved remarkably well on the occasion. A few months since this same lile-boat also succeeded in bringing into harbour the flat Turner, of Preston, which was stranded on the Horse Bank. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE AGAMEMNON.—On Saturday afternoon, about two o'clock, a serious accident occurred on board the steam vessel Agamemnon, which left Greenwich on Friday with a portion of the Atlantic submarine telegraph. On Friday night the vessel was anchored off Gravesend with the intention of proceeding to Sheerness. With the spring tide of Saturday after noon the order was given for heaving the anchor, the three steam-tug vessels which to teed the Agamemnon down the river on the previous day being attached to the vessel. The crew were busily engaged working at the capstan, but before the anchor was clear, by some misapprehension, the tug vessels commenc d propelling. The Agamemnon, of course, moved forward, and the weight and resistance of the immense ship against her own cable caused the capstan to reverse with velocity. The men who were heaving were instantly thrown about the deck in all directions. Five of them were found to be severely injured. Five of the sufferers, one of whom had both his legs broken, were removed on board the Widgeon steam vessel to the Royal Marine Infirmary. After the acsident, the Agamemnon proceeded to Sheer ness, and it is stated that an official inquiry into the case will be immediately instituted. THE GOODWOOD Cur.—The Goodwood Cup for this year is really what it professes to be—a cup and not a palm tree, a group of pugnacious warriors, or flying steeds. It is a noble vase of oxidized silver in the orna mented or renaissance style of the 16th cat tury, and is beyond all doubt ono of the most effective and artistic imitations of the medimval silver work which has yet been produced. The upper part is subdued and simple in style, being only ornamented with flat engraving of ivy leaves and berries upon a bright matted ground. The handles form an eltogether novel and striking coin bination, and are so interlaced in the quaint elaborate style of the renaissance period as to present the effect of four winged figures of Fame rising from their base. The body is adorned with a finely executed bas relief of Queen Elizabeth reviewing the English forces near Tilbury. The figures are beautifully chased and grouped with ex cellent taste, and the costumes of the soldiery are taken from the best authorities ' • the features and dress of the Queen from the coins of her reign. The opposite side has au ornamented tablet for inscription, enriched with bosses, wreaths, and sunken damascene work. The foot is formed by crowned tritons supporting chased medallion portraits after Holbein of Lord Burleigh and Sir Francis Drake. The general effect of the whole piece is unusually striking and attractive, and the imita tions of the steeled damascene being perfect, gives the vase the aspect of an antique piece of family plate rather than a work fresh from the jewellers , . The design mo delling is by Mr. Armstead—the workmanship such as 'only comes from liancock's. -- ~ AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, JULY 26. The Bri , ish and North ArneticAn Royal mail steamship Niagara, Whitman, commander, has arrived from Boston, via Halifax, bringing dates from New York to the 14th and by telegraph to the 16th inst.

It is said that General flerran ; the representative. of that Power, has received from General Oipitna, the new President, instructions to that effect. The nomination of Colon-4 Cummings as Gover-: nor of Utah and the other appointtnetits for the territory had bean completed. Civil war appeared to be raging in New York. On the afternoon of the 14th the rioters of the 14th, ward were making extensive preparations for a, renewal of the conflict. An incendiary handbill was circulating, calling a mass in eetmg to put down the metropolitan police. A meeting had also been held at the German Theatr in Fourth st. ea+, to m ,ke arrangemcn's for the a; tack. The rioters ate repotted toirtve a field piee-, and plenty of muskets and atninnnitEon. The Police Commissionrrs were prep irmg for them at all point., and three regi m,nts hid been ordered to report themaidres at tht it armouries. The State Lunatic Asylum, Utica, N.Y , h&1 been partially destroyed by fire. None of the in mates were injured. The dunage was es . imated a $200,000. The steamship Star of the West, from Asp'nwail, had arrived at New York with dates from San Finn cis,3o to the 20th of June, and 1,521,678 dots. in treasure on freight. The news is unimportant. Quartz mining enterprises are reported as resulting more favourably. General Lane has been elected delegate to Con greis from Oregon. The Indians on the Umpqua reservation, having become disaffected, had broken out, and, at last accounts, were on their way to Port Oxford, where the inhabitants were arming themselves t 3 give the savages a warm reception. Walker, the Filibuster, arrived at New Orleans en the evening of the 14th inst. The steamship Empire City had arrived at New York with dates to Havannah to the 9th inst The Spanish war vessels in port had been ordered on a cruise. Upon the information of the Eng lish Consul, General Concha had ordered the ar rest of some merchants in Puerto Priucipe . on. a charge of landing slaves. There was no riews of . General Santa Anna. Sugars were firm. The stock of molasses light. The stock of sugar Havannah and Matanzas was 5,000 hogsheads and 325,000 boxes. The New York Herald's correspon dent at Sagna la Grande writes : " Two barques from the west coast of Africa suc ceeded in landing off this place, on the night of the 24th inst., 950 slaves, and bola vessels were under canvas the following morning before sun rise for Brazil. The British Consul forwarded a letter stating the occurrence to the Governor of Jamaica, who has ordered a British frigate to go in pursuit of the slavers." From Vera Cruz the dates are to the 7th inst., and from Mexico to the 3d inst. The local elec tions had generally resulted in favour of the Go vernment. In Honduras great rejoicing had taken place on the capitulation of Walker. The Legislature had repealed the law abolishing capital punishment. In the San Salvador Legis'ure the expulsion of one of the deputies favourable to Walker had_been demanded. Her Majesty's ships Esk and Pearl are reported as having touched at the Sandwich Islands on their way to China. Advices from Valparaiso are to the 31st of May, and from Callao to the 12th ultimo. In Chili the political trials were drawing to a close, and it was thought the prisoners would be put to death. Congress was to meet on the Ist of June, but no thing had transpired respecting the ideas contained in the President's annual message. A Government loan of $4,000,000 was to 1 e taken up for the pur pose of completing the S tutiago and Valparaiso Railroad. In Valparaiso the Peruvian Consul made an attempt to confiscate all the guano shipped under Vivanco's decree. The merchants of that city had proposed a new pi oject for regulating the supply of guano to President Castilla. In Peru, a treaty had been concluded at Lima, having for its object the protection of the Chincha, Lobos, and other islands, by an armed force of the English and French, for the term of 10 years. The Govern ment of Peru was to control the guano trade as before. This arrangement was intended as a sort of collateral security to the bondholders of London and Paris. Advices from Bermuda report disturbances at Dominica, arising out of public dissatisfaction at the legislation on the subject of the rum duty. At New York, on the 13th inst.. the inquiry for money was not quite so active, but the rates were higher than usual for the seasonlof the year. Of prime paper there was a good supply at 8 to 9 per cent, ; well-known names 9 to 10 per cent. ; and second-class bills were passed with difficulty at 12 to 15 per cent. Prices of stocks were generally higher, and there was a strong feeling shown to sus tain them. Foreign exchanges were dull at the following rates :—London, 109} to 1091 ; Paris. sf. 15c. to sf. 164 c. In cotton only a moderate business had been done, and an advance of Ac. per lb. had been sub mitted to in middling an better qualities. At New Orleans, on the 14th, the cotton market had advanced Ac., middling being quoted at 14 3 / 4 e. to 14ic. (LATEST BY TELEGRAPH VIA HALIFAX.) NEW YORK, JULY 16.

He served with Lord Nelson at the battle Of Trafalgar ; since that he has lived in America, and only a comparatively short time ago ar rived in this country, and settled near this city.—Bath Chronicle. AN EXTENSIVE FlRE.—Early this morning a fire of a very alarming character, br( ke out in the premises ad joining shoe of Messrs. Hollingsworth, the auctioners, High-holborn, near Gray'elarel me. The house was occupied by a saddler, named Madement, and before the flames could be extinguished the premises were totally consumed. Great damage has been done to the sur rounding property, and it is to he regretted that one unfortunate person has been burnt to death, and another very much injured. MR. STURGEON AT THE SURREY GARMINS.—There was again a very large attendance at these gardens yes terday to hear the above rev, gentleman ; but though very large, and at the clesing of the gates several per sons were unable to gain admittance, there was an evi dent falling off in the number of the nobility and gentry usually in attendance. Amongst others present we observed Sir Robert and Lady Peel, the Merchioness of Sliga rind friends, Mr. Fergus, M.P., Sir John Bur goyne, &c. The preacher took for his text St. Luke 16, T. 31. THE SUNDAY BANDS.--Last evening the attendance in the Regent's Park was unprecedented—it was com puted that at least 30,000 persons wore present. Not withstanding this immense assemblage the greatest attention was paid to the performance of the mutic, which consisted of a judicious selection from the works of the best masters. The programmes issued by the committee announce that the greatest exertions are being made to permanently establish the Sunday bands; but it is to be regretted that the sale of programmes, which is the principal source from which the funds are derived, is not so extensive as it ought to be. Notwithstanding the immense number of persons that have attended the per formances of the Sunday bands since their commence ment there has not yet been a single case in which the police have been called upon to act. 5 1 11A i 7k 8 16115 11l rtß; 1331 5i i 105 7 33i
