Since our first form went to press, giving the intelligence brought by the West Indian steamer, which arrived at Southampton on SundaY, we have received the following additional news : The brig Greenock, of Glasgow, was lost at St. Domingo, on the 4th June, loading mahogany for Liverpool ; part of her crew came home passengers per Forth. The Forth observed a fleet of men of war, consisting of five brigs, one frigate, and four lire of battle ships, stand ing in for the land-near the Dodmans, on the morning of the 18th. The weather being hazy, they were soon lost sight of. Intelligence from Port-au-Prince states that horrible massacres continue to be perpetrated, but at Martinique comparative tranquility prevailed. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Lee was wrecked on a reef sixty miles north of Belize, on the 10th of June; crew saved. Bermuda was in an unsettled state, in consequence of a report being current, when the packet left, that an attempt would be made by a large party of Irish from New York to rescue the convict Mitchel. A ship had arrived thither from Halifax with the intelligence that a large body of his countrymen were making preparations for this pur pose. The government at Bermuda were, notwithstanding the improbability of such a course of proceeding, adopting precautionary measures to resist any attempt that may be made. All the colonies were healthy. and rain had fallen in great abundance in most of the West India Islands. A slight shock of an earthquake had been felt in the island of St. Thomas, but no damage whatever had been done either to life or property. . _ _ It was reported that the slave population at Cuba had evinced symptoms of an outbreak, but the government were fully prepared for any emergency. The damage done to public and private property, by the late events in Paris, has been estimated at 10,000,000 francs, or about £400,000 sterling. A curious case of injury is recorded in connexion with the recent outbreak in Paris. It is related of one indivi dual that a ball went in at one cheek and out through the other, 'but, as his mouth happened to be open, it touched neither his jaws nor his teeth. In St. fetersburgh, on the 7tll of July, there were 3,571 persons ill of the cholera, to these 1,071 were added during the day—of these 222 recovered, 576 died; on the Bth there were 3,790 sick, 853 were attacked during the day-574 died, 172 recovered. On the 9th there were 3;817 patients in the hospitals. Cape of Good Hope papers to the 18th of May state that the Boers beyond the Orange river had made com munications to the government which would lead to the 'inference that they were prepared to abide by the regula tions of the government considering them as calculated to 'insure peace and tranquillity on the frontier. The Port Philip papers of the 14th of March report favourably respecting the improving prospects of that settlement. Trade was better. Wheat by the latest quotations was worth 4s. OA. to 4s. 9d. per bushel, and flour 12s. per 1001 b, Papers from Sydney contain a report of the opening of the Legislative Council by commission on the 21st of March, when the address of the Governor was read by the Colonial Secretary. This address congratulates the colony on its continued progress ; the exports in 1847 of the two leading staples, wool and tallow, having largely exceeded those of the previous year, the wool by 5,700,000, the tallow by 49,000. The Madrid Gazette announces that the Commander of the Carbineers had defeated, in the valley of Erro, the united bands of Ilzarbe - and Zubiri, with the loss of nine killed and thirty wounded. Another encounter had taken place between Brigadier Eguiluz and the faction of Itur mendi, in the valley of Ega, in which seventeen of the latter were killed and many made prisoners. The Paris papers ofSaturday contain the following tele graph despatch, received on Friday:—" The Austrians entered Ferrara on the 14th of July, to the number of 5000. They occupied the principal posts of the town, and levied a war contribution on the inhabitants. The Pope protested against the occupation, and the Chamber of De puties unanimously voted the project of a league of all the States of Italy against Austria." BURN'S COMMERCIAL GLANCE.-STATISTICS OF THE COTTON TRADE. By the able Glance of Mr. Burn, of Manchester, just published, re are furnished with an accurate view of the progress of the cotton manufacture for the past six months ; and we are happy to observe that, to a certain extent, it has been more satisfactory than could have been expected. The trade has not reached its full extent in more pros perous years. We are not working to the full extent of which our machinery is capable; but we find that the average weekly consumption of cotton during the first six months of 1848 has reached 24,864 bags, which is au in crease over the consumption of the first six months of 1847 ; and we have an increase also of our stock of raw material, which was, on the'3oth June, 832,634 bales, or 33/ weeks' consumption, against 491,393, with which we commenced the year. There has been a falling off, as we have anticipated, in our exports of the leading articles of manufacture. In cotton yarn the decrease is from 51,462,499 lbs. in 1847, to 46,774,813 in the past six months. The countries whose consumption of this article has failed us are the Hansa towns, India, and China. To Turkey and the Levant and to Russia there has been a considerable increase. Our exports of plain calicoes have declined from 277,523.135 yards in the six mbnths of 1847, to 252,855,724 yards in, 1848. The principal countries whose consumption has fallen off are the Brazils, from 38,106,889 yards in 1847, to 21,093,350 yards in 1848 ; Chili and Peru, from 15,569,225 yards in 1847, to 9,474,806 yards in 1848 ; India, from 73,799,313 yards in 1847, to 60,644,965 i n 1848 ; China, from 37,000,741 yards in 1847, to 23,195,725 yards in 1848 ; and the United States of America, from 22,130,635 yards in 1847, to 9;950,156 yards in 1848. To several markets there has been an inesease. Malta and the lonian Isles have taken 3,889,648 yardS against 1,157,602 yards last year; Portugal, Madeira, &c., 19,725,605 yards against 5,125,839 yards last year; Gibraltar, 8,161,650 yards against 2,859;941 yards last year • and Turkey and the Levant, 30,496,766 yards against 25:097,479 yards last year. Contrary to all expectation and report there is an increase also to the Hanse Towns, Hanover, Holland,' Naples and Sicily, Sweden and Norway, Sardinia, Tus cany, &c., and Trieste and Austrian ports, in which it was concluded that our trade would be interrupted by their disturbed state. Our exports of printed and dyed goods shew a decease .on the half year of 13,444.594 yards, the quantity being 136,850,593 yards, against 150,295,187 yards last year. I n this article we find the country whose falling off is most considerable to be the Brazils—that favoured producer of slave-grown sugar—which has taken from us only 14,969,683 yards this half year against 30.050,606 yards in the first six months of 1847. There is a decrease also to India, British North America, Chili and Peru, Fo re i gn West Indies, Naples and Sicily, Sardinia and Tuscany, and United States of America, and an increase to Turkey and the Levant, Portugal, Madeira, &c., Gibraltar, Columbia, and a few other smaller markets. I n thi s article, also, we find no decline in the exports to German and Baltic markets. To Mexico we have a very consi derable revival both in the consumption of plain and dyed calicoes. Of the less considerable articles of the cotton manufac ture there is a small increase in most. The exports of hosiery, however, have declined from 199,655 dozen, last year, to 136,547 dozen this year ; and of lace, from 40,366,520 yards last year to 26,510,647 yards this year, which accounts for the distress prevailing in the districts in which these branches of manufacture are carried on.

RACE BETWEEN A YACHT AND A SHT.P.-Our readers are aware that a match was recently made, for £250 a side, to run Mr. Naylor's yacht, Sultana , against Mr. Ripley's iron barque Panic,. The race was to be from the light-ship—round I re l an d—to the starting point. Th e yacht has won the match, having arrived in.the Mersey on Friday morning at 430 a.m. The following is from the Sultana's log —From 1 15 p.m. Saturday to noon Sun day, 125 miles •, fine and calm—noon Sunday to noon Monday, 106 miles ; fine and calm—noon Monday to noon Tuesday, 107 miles ' • fine and calm — noon on Tuesday to noon Wednesday, 222 miles; blowing very fresh W.S.W. —noon Wednesday to noon Thursday, 209 miles ; blow ing very fresh and heavy sea—noon Thursday to reaching light-ship, at 220 a.m. Friday morning, 127 miles; blowing a heavy gale from N.N.W., and heavy sea. Total distance, 896 miles. Distance run (2 0 th July), from Bel fart Lough, northern point, to N.W. lightship, 12 7 miles, in 12 hours 46 minutes. The barque Panic did not get sound Cape Clear in time to cat l? thf.2 favouring gale, and consequently has not arrived yet. THE WATER QUESTION.-LETTER 111. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Since my last letter was written, I have been reminded of a point of some importance, and which natu rally strikes one as having something mysterious about it. We are frequently told that we should hive made our ob jections to the Rivington scheme at the proper time ; that is, before the committee of the House of Commons. It is contended that no bill ever encountered a more severe opposition, and that surely all its weak points must have been well sifted. I will attempt an explanation of this. When the bill was before parliament, the Water Works Companies went up prepared to make a strong fight for the local supply. While there, however, the Corporation found they could make no progress till they had agreed to purchase the interest of both companies, and this was consequently arranged. The parties, therefore, who had gone to London expresskfor this purpose were silenced, and the opposition was then chiefly that of mill-owners, canal companies, and parties interested in rival schemes. Consequently, the local supply question was almost, if not wholly, without an advocate. But let us not look back : we wish to make no accusa tions. If we, as ratepayers, have neglected our interest, we must suffer; but this should not close our eyes to the future, now that they have been in some measure opened. And now, again, the cry is raised—" indifference to the wants of the poor"—" neglect of the health of the town." many of those who are now asking for more time to test the local supply, (for this is all we ask,) need not fear to stand before their townsmen on this question too. We do seek the health; welfare, and happiness of the poor, knowing that our own comfort is inseparably connected with theirs—and it rejoices me to read the following para graph in the papers of last week : " HEALTH OF THE TowN.—We are glad to learn, from areport presented to the health committee, by Dr-Dun can, that the health of ;le town is at present in a very satisfactory state. During the quarter ending lit July, about 2000 deaths were registered in the parish of Liver pool, being 900 less than during the previous quarter, and 2800 less than during the previous quarter of last year. Since the beginning of May, the mortality has been below the average of the season. It is particularly gratifying to know that fever, which committed such tre mendous ravages amongst us last year, is less preva. lent than it has usually been even in ordinary years. During the month of June, only 26 deaths took place from fever, while in June, 1847, there were not less than 769. The different fever-sheds and the wards in the Workhouse which were temporarily devoted to fever pa tients, were closed some time ago, the old fever hospital (built forty years since) affording sufficient accommoda tion for the cases now requiring it." But let me ask, has the Rivington water effected this ? or has even a better supply from the local wells done it for it is only quite lately that any change has been made in the quantity. No : under. God's blessing, it is to a great extent due to the efforts of our Corporation, in an other department of which several of the Water Com mittee are actively engaged ; and we thank them most sincerely for the labour they bestow upon it. Would you ask where we are to see the workings of the efforts here alluded to ? I answer, inquire into the duties of Mr. Newlands, Dr. Duncan, Mr. Fresh, and others. Though perhaps much remains to be done, you will there see enough to account for our more healthy condition. Proper sewers and drainage are the 'foundation of all sanatory operations. These are being carefully attended to, and the course laid down by Mr. Newlands is the cor rect one, viz., to take a comprehensive view of the posi tion of the whole town, and proceed with such parts as are most required and as the funds can be spared. Cleansing the courts and driving the people from the cellars is the next step, and thishasbeen and is in effectual progress. General cleanliness, ventilation, and other essentials to health are being urged upon the people. All this and much more is in operation, and the practical results may be seen in the report of Dr. Duncan, above quoted. The habitation of the poor man, to be healthy, should be above ground, clean, well ventilated, and dry. About 6 gallons of water per head per diem, will keep everything clean and wholesome, and provide for all wants,—more would be useless or worse than useless. While, however, all these measures are producing so many good results, the utmost economy is essential. The high rates that now burden the town counteract much that sanatory measures tend to alleviate ; the latter ope rate gradually to thin the population and to force it from the dense and less healthy districts to those that are more elevated, while the former occupants of these parts in their turn retire to the out-townships. But it is now too evi dent that the existing pressure is greatly counteracting this beneficial tendency by causing the masses to close in again upon the heart of the town. This is one of the argu ments on which we urge the propriety of further inquiry before a fresh and uncertain outlay is commenced. Discussions have arisen as to who should have charge of the water pipes within the borough. I should not have thought that this subject could have caused a moment's he sitation. As a matter of course the corporation engineer must have the sole control,—no other system can work long without serious injury to the public interests. Before leaving the subject I propose, as briefly as possi ble, to enumerate some of those points which may be styled -" fallacies." • They are of two classes. viz., those which arise from an ignorance of the true bearings of the case, and those which arise either from giving undue im portance to trifles, or from drawing wrong inferences from facts in themselves true. Not however desiring to judge of motives, I will leave the public to draw their own con clusiOns. I.—ln these discussions, it is a common fallacy, in at tempts to show that the local supply must be very expen sive, to make calculations like the following, viz.:—lf to pump 3,000,000 gals. costs £5,600 per annum, 16,000,000 will cost £26,666; and, if one well, with its engine, costs £50,000, and only yields 1,500,000 gallons, wells for 16,000,000 will cost £533,000—a larger sum than the Rivington scheme. There are three great fallacies here. Instead of 16,000,000 of fresh water, we may not, for many years, require more than 6,000,000, which our present wells will supply, with a trifling expenditure. Next : a well with its appendages need not cost £50,000; for in stance,—Windsor Station cost about £27,000. And lastly, the expense of pumping by no means increases in propor tion to the quantity of water raised. In some cases, the only additional expense will be in coals. • 2.—lt is a fallacy to suppose that we go into the extreme of asserting that the local supply can last for ever. We merely say that it will probably last for many years ; and, when more is wanted, that the additional quantity may be obtained, at a trifling expense, compared with the present contemplated outlay. And we say, also, that great re liance, founded on past experience, may he placed on the wells, while there is considerable uncertainty as to the Rivington water. 3.—The failure of Berry-street well is no argument against the local supply—it was not very deep, and the machinery was in bad condition, so that there was no effort made to preserve it. Owing to the large number of wells there can be no doubt that the level of the water under the town becomes lower ; this operation is, however, very slow, and is easily followed up at a trifling expense. We are aware that any benefit from surface water in the town is almost wholly lost ; but we have no evidence to show that the supply derived from the deep springs which are tapped by boring is at all diminished, or has an injurious effect on private wells ; from this source, there are well grounded expectations that large additions may be made to the supply, at a light expense. 4.—lt is a decided fallacy to expect profitable increase in the water rents by carrying the pipes beyond the borough—an argument often urged to reconcile us to pay. ing for so much more water than we are likely to use. The cost of the pipes is not provided for in the estimate, and it will be a long time before they can be laid with any pros pect of returning 5 per cent. interest. s.—lt is a great fallacy to suppose that the water rents will be much increased because of the Rivington water being brought here; with either supply the demand will probably gradually extend. A few additional tenants amongst the manufacturers may be induced to take the Rivington water at a very low rate, but it must be recol lected that, if a reduction is made to some, it must to ail those who are at present paying a much higher rate : and thus not increase the gross receipts. 6. I-believe T am quite safe in styling as fallacies those attempts which are made to depreciate our local wells. I have reason to believe that, except that the general level of the water is lower, (owing perhaps to the loss of sur face water,) the quantity is as abundant as ever, and the quality is equal to what it ever was. I believe also there is no doubt of our being able to increase the quantity, when required, to a very great extent. 7.—1 should have devoted a few lines to refute Mr. Spencer's table of experiments, showing the supposed quantity of salt in the town wells, had not Mr. Spencer himself (though rather tardily, 1 confess) shown the in correctness of the published statement of his experiments. S.—Both the friends and foes of the local supply con stantly persevere in the error of supposing that we ever intend to use salt water for fires, and on this mistake, sometimes I fear intentionally made, is raised a great ob jection to the salt water scheme. We do not propose to use salt water for fires—we contemplate that the fresh water mains will always be full, and therefore ready for fires at all times. The quantity required is but a trifle compared with the other demands, and would not be felt. Salt water for watering streets, flushing sewers, washing courts, and for public baths, is all we ever contend for ; and, for these purposes, salt water is very superior to fresh. 9.—lt would be a fallacy to attempt to leave the deci sion of this question to either one or three persons, as has been proposed ; we have within ourselves the safest test — leave it to the practical men who are now in the employ ment of the corporation, only give them time and the question will be fairly tried. They should not, however, have the fear of the displeasure of the Water Committee before their eyes, but be allowed to feel that it is no longer a party question. 10.—It would perhaps be unkind to clear away the very pleasing fallacy in which some persons indulge, in con templating the amount of work which is in store for the poor when the Rivington works are in progress. The people out beyond Chorley have certainly a very keen sense of the benefits to be thus derived to themselves, as I found on a recent visit to that locality, but what good it will do to our own poor I am at a loss to see; but if the local supply is maintained, they will have chance of keeping in their own hands what little is to be done. 11.—It is a very great fallacy to suppose that our local supply is in the least injured by drainage from sewers and cess-pools ; the perfect freedom from all organic matter, of the well water, is our best proof ; and here we have an unquestionable advantage over the Rivington water. Having now, Mr. Editor, sufficiently taxed your kind ness, and the patience of your readers, I will close my poor remarks by again recommending a calm and good tempered consideration of this important though tiresome subject—let there be no calling names, especially in the council—no bitterness—no p_rty spirit—no concealment of important facts and undue magnifying of trifles. We all hate the good of the town at heart, and let us adopt the best means of ascertaining it. JOHN GRANTITANI. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. No doubt appeared to exist on 'Change to-day that the Irish will rise in the South of Ireland, in spite of the strong preventive measures taken by Government ; n 1 altlaouh great confidence is reposed in the foresight of those to whom the preservation of peace is entrusted, the proba bility of an unhappy contest in that country, in its pre sent excited state, has had the natural effect of depressing all speculative branches of trade. The West Indian in terest, however, suffers from another cause ; and a hitherto unobserved failing in the Government measure has within the last few days thrown the merchants and refiners into considerable dismay, owing, as stated in the bi-monthly circular of MessrS. T. and H. Littledale, to " the Cus toms admitting refined Sugar from the Continent at a duty of 245. Bd. per cwt. By the old bill, refined Sugar was admitted at a proportionate rate of duty, if imported from the place of growth ; but on all other a prohibition of 635. per cwt. was imposed, By the present, the prohi bition i s removed, and the several rates of duty are, from wherever imported, 245. Bd. per cwt. on first refined, and 275. 9d. on double. This we can only look upon as an oversight of the Government, and needs only being brought before them to be remedied ; otherwise it would be the heaviest blow at our own Colonies, particularly Jamaica, and refiners, which has yet been given—the Dutch, as we understand, receiving a drawback on their exports of 2s. 6d. per cwt." Meanwhile, the effect upon the market has been, that sugars suitable for refining purposes are selling for 2s. to 3s. less money than could be obtained a week ago. We have good reports from the manufacturing districts : the home trade is brisk ; and, as we anticipated, the export demand for goods and yarns has considerably increased, accompanied by some advance on the low prices which have so long prevailed. The greatest facilities are also offered to trade by the easy rate at which money can be procured; and although consols. have fallen a little in consequence of the Irish business, they closed on Saturday at the respectable price of 87k to 4; for the 10th of August, the last quotation was 874 to 1. The accounts from France contain no new features of much importance ; an addition of L 7 9,000 to the deposits of the public, and the absence of any material change in the present low state of the discounts, still serve to indi cate the continued paralysis of trade. Advices from Vienna show a steady increase of confidence ; whilst at Naples, on the 14th instant, the reaction in the funds consequent upon the news from Sicily was still going on, the Five per Cents on that day having fallen to 86. The COTTON trade, which was going on swimingly at the beginning of the week, has fallen off since the confir mation of the disturbed state of Ireland, and although the daily sales were large up to the close of last week, the slight advance which had been realized on the previous week's prices was lost. There has been only a small at tendance of spinners at market TO-DAY, which has re lapsed into a state of inactivity again, owing entirely to the suspense arising out of the unsettled state of matters in Ireland. The trade in consegence have purchased spa ringly, speculationfor the present being checked, so that the business, inclusive of 1000 for export, will not amount to more than 4,500 bales of all kinds. In prices there is no material alteration to notice, probably a fraction in favour of purchasers, as holders do not appear at all anxious to press sales beyond the demand, feeling confidence in the measures being adopted by government towards Ireland. Advices from New York, per Cambria, state that holders had consented to a decline of ket of a cent IF , lb., gene rally I; and that consequently there had been more business doing, both for shipment and home use. The market, however, was still dull. The receipts at all the shipping ports were 2,203,984 bales, against 1,736.712 to same dates last year—an increase this season of 467,272 bales. The total foreign export this year is 609,044 hales more than last—say, 441,929 increase to Great Britain, 73,000 increase to France, 50,819 increase to North of Europe, and 43,296 increase to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports are 71,882 bales more this season than last; and there is a decrease in stock of 113,250 bales. The sales quoted were 2400 bales, as follows : Upland and Mobile, N. 0., Florida. and Texas. 1400 bales. 1000 bales. Inferior Ordinary to good ord... 53- a 51 c. 5 1 1 ® 5 c.

The total import, froth the Ist to the Bth instant way 2,253 bales. The export, from the Ist to the 30th June, 1848, was 15,276 bales ; 1847, 3,445 bales. Export from the United States, since Ist Sept. last, 1,637,641 bales ; same time last year, 1,028,597 bales. The CORN Market here is steady for every article of the trade, without any material alteration in price since Friday. There is rather more inquiry for Indian Corn and Wheat, although we have not heard of any large extent of business done in the latter article. Imports into this port since Thursday last:—Wheat, from Ireland 110 qrs., coastwise 1220 ; Malt, coastwise 3384 qrs. ; Beans, coastwise 64 qrs., Europe 2337 ; Indian Corn, U. States 5162 qrs. ; Oatmeal, coastwise 35 his., U. States 12 ; Flour, Ireland 16 sacks, Canada 1864 brls., U. States 3 brls. Exports :—Wheat, coastwise 160 qrs. ; Beans, coastwise 320 qrs. ; Indian Corn, for Ireland 2630 qrs., coastwise 4 ; Indian Corn Meal, for Ireland 440 brls., coastwise 100; Flour, coastwise 216 sacks 344 brls.— Throughout the country Wheat is rather higher, and from 2s. to 3s. advance has been realised to-day in the London market. The Irish markets are generally firm, owing to the smallness of stocks. With regard to the Potato crop, although unfavourable reports continue to reach us from various quarters, we still decline to adopt them without much reservation. The quantity and qua lity of those brought into the market warrant us in using great caution ; and as we have seen finer and healthier specimens this season than for some years past, we will continue for the present to hope for the hest.—A mer cantile letter from New York, dated 11th July, states:— " The grain and grass crops all Over the country have been most abundant, and as the shipments of specie have ceased, a good fall import trade is not improbable." The New York Shipping and Commercial List, per Cambria, states that there had been a good demand for Western Flour for home use, and the sales had been pretty large ; yet the receipts exceeded the current in quiry, and the market for the most part was quite dull, and if pressed by holders, rather lower rates would have to be submitted to. Co rn Meal was in fair request, and remained steady. Wheat had been in request for milling : the market, however, was without particular change, though rather in favour of the buyer, the demand having been pretty freely met by h o ld ers . For Corn there was an active demand, at an improvement of about one cent per bushel. The receipts down the Hudson since the opening of river navigation are as follow : _ 1848. 1847. Wheat Flour bbls. 458,405 1,208,236 Corn Meal 1,561 41,984 Wheat bush. 194,902 1.064,977 Corn . Rye Export, from Ist to 30th June, 1848. 1847.

Rye Barley Oats 735 42,158 AMERICAN Bacon, having been put forward at a low figure, has commanded attention, and dealers have cleared off the greater portion of the inferior descriptions. Both Hams and Shoulders have suffered a depreciation in value ; the latter, however, meeting with a ready sale, whilst transactions in the former are concluded with difficulty. Considerable sales of Lard have been made this week, at about last week's prices, with the exception of inferior and Grease, which have declined from 3s. to 4s. The demand for Prime Mess Pork has somewhat improved this week, but the business has been confined to choice lots.

Notwithstanding the reports which have reached us of smaller markets and higher prices in Ireland, the demand for Emil Butter is only to a small amount here, and last week's prices are barely maintained. Irish Bacon continues a drug; but Lard sells freely. Prices to-day (landed here) :-Butter : Waterford, new, 80s. to 82s. ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Clonmel, 80s. to 81s. ; Carrick, new, 795. to 80s. ; Wexford, Carlow, 80s. ; Belfast, 78s. to 81s. ; Bal lymoney and Coleraine, 775. to 793.; Banbridge, 765. to 78s. ; Newry and Dundalk, 72:4. to 765. ; Londonderry, 765. to 783.

The market for Scotch Pig IRON is extremely dull, principally on account of the unfavourable nature of the news from Ireland, winch has taken away the disposition to do business. The rates at Glasgow are 465. to 475. for No. 1.-In New York, as per last advises, Scotch Pig was somewhat lower-300 tons N. 1, to arrive, having sold at 524, 6 mos. • English Ba r s were quo t e d 5'42.50 @ 4343 ; and Swedes, £'Bo @ 532.50, on time. sellers'for (l re a s e t i a n ti l o e n a s d , ng with mines e a x r e e egenerally ofThe Mining Journal r e p or t s , th a t th e i nqu i r i es ma d e Basset S m o u u t c h h and South Wheal Francis, which maintain present prices.

In the United States the trade is quite dull, and the sales not worth reporting. The TIMBER trade during the last week exhibits a better feeling, the demand for the manufacturing districts shows an improvement, and prices have an upward tendency, though stocks here being light, all the cargoes that have arrived have been readily disposed of from the quay. We are certain that this branch of business will improve rapiily. Foreign WooL has been in good request this week, and a fair extent of business has been done, in some cases at an advance of. 5 per cent. on previous rates, and all kinds in demand may he said to have improved to this extent. Some large sales of Alpaca have been made, and although the prices have not been allowed to transpire, they re understood to be below the late current quotations.7ln Scotch there has been no business reported, and farmers are said to be asking higher prices than the trade seem prepared to pay. Imports for the week ending July 22 —Foreign 4474 bales, previously 43,125, total 47,599 Scotch 333 bales, previously 7691, total 8024 bales. There is still a fair demand for both raw and thrown SILK, by our manufacturers, for the home trade; but owing to the large imports from every place where silk is produced, stocks are still heavy, and prices rule low—pap. ticularly on China Silk—and our quotations of the 4th instant, of Taysaams from 93. to 10s. 6d. per lb:, and Tsatlees from 93. 6d. to 145., have been barely supported, and all other descriptions of raw silk have suffered the same depression. In East India and China Silk, piece goods, we have no improvement to notice either in de mand or price. The last return from the Bank of England states that the amount of notes in circulation is £19,145,060, being an increase of £784,195 • and the stock of bullion in both departments is £14,263,176, showing a decrease o £94,817, when compared with the preceding return. Up to the date of the Cambria's departure from New York, Exchange on England had been in fair demand at 1091- to 110. MO/ LATEST FROM DUBLIN. THE INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT.-SUS PENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. No outbreak has as yet taken place in Ireland ; indeed the utmost tranquillity prevails; but in that country a lull is always open to suspicions. Silence, is the most dangerous element of Irish agitation. So far the appre hensions of disturbance are confined to Dublin. Orders have been given to seize all arms imported into Dublin. It is notorious that neither rifle, pistol, or any other fire arm is to be seen in the shop windows, having all been sold. The general impression is that the provinces are not yet ripe for an outbreak; and that until the provincia clubs are more widely extended the rebels will make no hostile demonstration. In Cork, however, there was some excitement when the intelligence arrived that that city had been proclaimed. The, announcement of Lord John Russell's intention to • apply to parliament for additional powers to crush insur rection in Ireland, reached Dublin, by electric telegraph, early in the forenoon of Saturday, end had a thunderbolt fallen upon the city it could not have created greater dis may or terror. Full time was it to resort to the extreme measure shadowed forth in the Premier's notice of motion, and that not another instant is to be lost will be made tolerably clear by a perusal of the manifestoes—it would be childishness to call them newspaper articles—put forward in the felon journals of last Saturday. They are " open and advised" declarations of war, and nothing less. Mr. Duffy, Mr. Martin, Mr. Lalor, and Mr. Brenan, with their signatures appended to those blood-breathing documents, tell the people that the hour has come for striking the blow; that the 40,000 military composing the Irish garrison must be slaughtered ; that they (the people) are to be stigma tized as cowards for evermore, should they neglect the present opportunity to obliterate British dominion in Ireland. All this, and even more desperate advice, is given by the accredited leaders of the movement, so that there is no choice left ; the crisis cannot be much longer averted. 'With such undiluted treason as flows through the columns of the Nation and Felon it is difficult to know where to begin or where to stop. Mr. Gavan Duffy, as the senior journalist, is, perhaps, entitled to precedence ; and here is an extract from one of his appeals to arms : " Rise, then, men of Ireland, since Providence so wills it. Rise in your cities and your fields, on your hills, in your valleys, by your dark mountain passe,s, by your rivers and lakes and ocean-washed shores ! Rise as a na tion ! Englatid has dissevered the bond of allegiance. Rise—not now to demand justice from a foreign kingdom, but to make Ireland an independent kingdom for ever. It is no light task God has appointed you. It is a work - of trial and temptation. Oh ! be stedfast in the trial— be firm to resist the temptation. You have to combat injustice, therefore you must yourselves be just. You have to overthrow a despot [power; but you must estab lish order, not suffer anarchy. Remember it is not a g a i ns t individuals or parties or sects you wage war, but against a system. Down with it—down with it, even to the ground ; but show mercy to the individuals who are but the instruments of that system. You look round upon the land—your own land—trodden down and trampled sni ii s 1-ed, and on a persecuted and despairing people * * Act as if your soul's salvation hung en each 'we a!i•eaay within the shadows of deed — and it will; f';', eternity. For us is the combat; but not for us, perhaps, the triumph. Many a noble heart will lie cold, many a 7 throbbing pulse he stilled, ere the cry of ' Victory' will arise. It is a solemn thought, that now is the hour of destiny when the fetters of seven centuries may at last be broken—and by you, men of this generation—by you, men of Ireland ! You are God's instruments ; many of you must ne freedom's martyrs. Oh ! be worthy of the name ; and as you act as men, as natriots, and as chris tians, sb will the blessing rest upon your head when you lay it down a sacrifice for Ireland upon the red battle field." His letter is dated "Newgate Prison." His brother felon, John Martin, is equally intelligible. He says, " My advice is, shortly, that you stand to your arms. Stand to your arms ! * * Stand firm and yield .not an inch of ground to the threat and the rage of our alarmed tyrants. Let them menace you with the hulks or the gibbet for daring to speak or write your love to Ireland. Let them [threaten to mow you down with grape shot, as they: have massacred your kindred with nmine and plague. Spurn their brutal acts of Parliament'—trample upon their lying proclamations—fear them not 1 The work you have undertaken is to overthrow and utterly destroy English dominion in Ireland. - That work must be done. It must be done at any risk, at any Cost, at any sacrifice. Though hundreds of us be torn from our families, and free air, to be shut up in the enemy's dungeons or sent in chains to his felon islands—though thousands of us be butchered by the enemy's cannon and bayonets, cur streets and native fields be purpled with our blood—never shall the struggle for Irish freedom cease but with the destruction of that monstrous system of base and murderous tyranny, or with the utter exter mination, of the Irish people. Oh, dear countrymen ! let not your hearts quail at the sight of the enemy's pre parations—of 40,000 human machines arranged with their weapon's of death to butcher you on your own land for the crime of loving your own land. Stand to your arms res'st to the c'eoth ! Better a hundred thousand bloody deaths than to leave Ireland another year disarmed, cowed, and defenceless to the mercy of that fiendish des potism." Mr. J. F. Lalor calculates that "there are 40,000 sol diers in Ireland, and the question is, how best and soonest to kill and capture these 40,000 men ?" He would take the time " when the full harvest of Ireland shall be stacked in the haggards. Wherefore, let us fight in September, if we may—but sooner, if we must. Who draws first blood for Ireland ? Who wins a wreath that will be green for . ever ?" Another letter is from the pen of a man who, at a meet proposed commenced that t week,o tl e i effect ng hethat l on t S e a outbreaktu shouldelc, but the motion was lost by a majority of one o n ly. Although the meeting in question was limited . to twenty one persons, each holding a responsible situation in the rebel counsels, the government was in full possession of their " secret" intentions on the following day. This man says that if the clubs shrink, " the slaves' portion will be theirs. Let the coffin-maker's heart be merry, for his trade will shine. Will not the land be rich and produce great harvests for luxury when the bones of the poor manure it ? These things will boil' you strike not. N ow , then, or never ! Now, and for ever ! I think we had better front our fate at once, and be free in death, if wo cannot live in freedom." The greatest excitement prevails throughout the district extending from Carrick-on-Snir, in the county of Water ford, to Clonmel, in the South Riding of Tipperary. The club organisation all along is quite complete ; and after the metropolis, this is the only quarter in which immedi ate danger is apprehended. Mr. Meagher has arrived in Dublin from Waterford. It is said Mr. Smith O'Brien has taken wing and retreated to Wexford. It is said that four regiments will be encamped in Phoe nix Park. Already the troops are daily exercised in pitch ing and striking tents &c. The severest scrutiny is exercised in granting,licenses for arms. No license is to be granted to any person to hold any large quantity of arms, or wno has not a legiti mate use for them, and in no case are licenses to be granted to young men to keep arms who merely want them for amusement. Hyland. the Dublin pike maker, has put out his fire and transferred his anvil and other apparatus to a southern county, free from the incumbrance of a Government proclamation. • BIRMINGHAM MANUFACTURE AT COURT.—A magni ficent chimney-piece, grate, and fender, en suite, of an entirely ❑ew mode of manufaCture, made for his Highness Abbas Pacha, were submitted to Her Majesty and Prince Albert, on Saturday, at Buckingham Palace, by Mr. H. Room, of Birmingham. THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT.—We have so long enjoyed peace, subordination, and security in this happy island, that young, or even middle-abed men, do not remember the day when the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended within the realm of England. But the student of consti tutional history and the well-informed lawyer are both aware that such suspension has taken place more than half a-dozen times within a century, and generally, if not always, with the happiest effects, and with no destruction or permanent diminution of public liberty in England. Even within the present century, the 31 Charles 11. has been twice. placed in abeyance, and were John Horne Tooke, or his pupil, the late Sir Francis Burdett, or John Gale Jones, to rise individually and collectively from the tomb, each must admit that such suspension —far from inflicting a wound on public liberty—only tended to pre serve and foster that greatest blessing. ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A HOUSE AT SHEF FIELD.—On Friday, Mrs. Marples, the wife of a joiner's tool maker, in Hermitage-street, Sheffield, was aroused from her slumbers by a loud explosion, accompanied with the smashing of window glass. Slie immediately jumped out of bed, and took her chil6en up, when she saw a flame shoot through the aperture in the window shutters. Having alarmed her brother, who was sleeping in an . adjoining room, they went to the front and shouted " murder ! " The night watchman immediately repaired to the place, when he found three men running away. He chased them, and, having laid hold of one, the other two came up, knocked the watchman down, and rescued. his prisoner. Upon getting in front of the premises three ginger beer bottles, charged with powder, were found lying on the ground, and about two pounds of strong blasting powder. The glass in the window was broken, and it was quite apparent that only one bottle had ex ploded, and that had fortunately not entered the bed room, on account of the window-shutters being partially closed. Had the three bottles entered the building, and exploded, every person therein must have been blown to pieces. Some time back, the factory helorp-i ,, zr to the same person was destroyed by an infernal machine. ...---- > I _
