We have heard indeed, on the au thority of a party only a few hours ago returned from the scene of the trial, some most sufficient hints of the results which would follow the full carrying out of the sentence of the law. The "ob stinacy" of the criminal might render him averse to die with closed lips. Extraordinary and astounding disclosures are talked of as very possible in such an event, and it is not at all unlikely that the affair has been arranged between the law officers of the Crown and O'Brien's counsel.

We are informed, on very first-rate authority, that the orders by her for manufactured goods are upon a very large scale—larger than have been received by any one arrival during the last twelve months. It must be borne in mind, too, that the Washington, steamer, left New York on the same day as the Europa, for Southampton, and may also be the bearer of ex tensive orders. The news, as to the yield of the cotton crop, is most encouraging. The season for picking is an excellent one, and the produce is set down variously at 2,600,000, 2,700,000, and, as the 2,800,000 hales. The deliveries at the ports, up to the latest dates, exceed those of any past year, with the exception of 1845. We have, therefore, the additional prospect of a low price of the raw material to stimulate consumption, both foreign and domestic. rived ye Tile stock of hreadstuffs in the States is reported to be very great ; and the growers calculate confi dently upon exporting largely to this country. The prices received out per the last steamer from here are considered paying ones, and there is every dis position to meet our demand without exacting ex orbitant rates, which, in fact, the American growers see that we shall not be disposed to pay, or be under the necessity of paying. The advices, on the whole, have given the greatest satisfaction to all parties here. WE beg to take our hat off, and make the po litest of acknowledgments to Mr. Henry Danson, for a very timely admission, made by him during ____ Wednesday's discussion on the question of working the Birkenhead Ferry. He is reported to have stated that " the great objection to keeping the Birkenhead Ferry open was that they employed the public purse to compete with private enterprise." On this very principle we have all along objected to the mode in which the affairs of the Dock Estate of this town have of late been managed. We ob ject to the Dock Committee setting themselves up as coopers, smiths, masons, and engineers, with " the public purse" to support them against the enterprise of private coopers, smiths, masons, and engineers. On the same grounds we objected to their becoming warehousemen, our objections be lightened by their warehouses being made - to contribute to the local burthens, imposed upon property in the hands of private individuals. _ _ _ ~liten those which we entertain against them carrying on other trades we look to the success of the movement to rate their whole works. It is only a measure of strict justice towards the indivi dual tradesmen, with whom they now compete. ing on BIRKENHEAD SCHOOLS.—On Sunday last, the annual sermons were preached in St. Mary's Church, Birkenhead, by the Rev. A. Knox, 8.A., when the sum of £34 as collected in aid of the excellent Infant Schools attached to the church, in which no fewer than 140 chil dren, from two to six years of age, are receiving a useful and scriptural education. _ STS, YESTERDAY —On view of the body of Catherine Doyle, a child who resided with her parents in Hmma Ann-street, and who died from convulsions on :Verdict accordingly.—On view of A that MEETING OF THE WHIG RADICAL ELECTORS OF WEST DERBY WARD, LAST NIGHT. Yesterday evening a meeting of the Whig-radicals of this ward was held at Mr. Coombes's, Grinfleld-street, for the pur pose, as stated in the placard, of selecting "for the represen tation some gentleman locally connected with its interests." The meeting was not very numerous. Mr. THOMAS SMITH having been voted to the chair, briefly opened the proceedings, and stated that what they wanted was neither a mere speaker nor a mere voter, but a man resident in the ward who could use both his pen and his pencil, and especially would devote his attention to an examination of the accourits, and to their re duction, where it was practicable, consistently with henesty of expenditure. After a short pause the CHAIRMAN asked if any one present had such a man to propose, and said, jokingly, that it seemed to him that they were attending a kind of auction. Mr. lIY. COWELL then'rose to explfiri what were the views of the party of whom he was one, who attended the meeting by which this was held. They wanted a man resident in the ward, who would be himself affected whenever their burthens were increased. A man's political opinions he would not consult in making this selection. He regretted that Mr. Smith, for he was the gentleman towards whom his predilections leaned was present, as it prevented him saying much which he had intended to say eulogistic of him. He would therefore at once propose ➢lr. Thomas Smith as a gentleman fitted for the office. The motion was seconded, and the Chairman having ex plained that he would withdraw in order to allow the electors to make an unbiassed choice, asked if any other geztleman had a candidate to propose. Mr. HARDY stated, that it was not the intention of any gen tleman in the meeting to propose a candidate, who alone ful filled the ri ^ ,, eht to be, as he had h; - , g. Mr qmirt escription of what such a party c f drawn up the placard calling the meet Hardy went on into some personalities against Mr. whom he termed a firebrand, &c., when a perfect uproar took place, in the midst of which the chairman threatened to leave the chair. Mr. Hardy having stated that no one but himself should be heard, and that he should talk until the roof came off the house, our reporter left, not choosing to undergo the consequences of so serious a catastrophe. We understand, that a fresh chairman was afterwards chosen in the place of Mr. Smith, and that the proceedings com menced de novo. Lin connexion with our Report last week, Mr. R. M. Beck with has come out with a ridiculous letter, which was pub lished in the Mercury of Friday. It would puzzle a philoso pher to find out what it is, precisely, that the gentleman means. It is absurd to suppose that he would " retire," in the case stated, because he "never would have consented to stand."

Mary Jeffert was 'charged with stealing a quantity of fents from a shop; but the evidence being incomplete, she was remande —Ben- jamin Powell, for stealing a quantity of ropes from a ware house, was sent to gaol for two months.—Thomas M'Connell, for stealing a coat in Thomas-street, (in the act of which he got over the wall of the back yard), was consigned to durance vile for a month.—Henry Hurst and Mary Hurst, for stealing wearing apparel and some tea noons from No. 35, Standish-street, were committed for I .—John Kehoe, charged by Thomas Jarvis with rob him of £1 18s., was sent to be dealt with by the magistrates of Cheshire, where the offence, it appeared, tad been committed.—A man and woman, Williams and Taylor, for stealing from the ship Symmetry, and pledging a suit of clothes, were committed for two months to gaol. . ALLEGED THEFT OF IRISH LINEN. - At the police court, yesterday,' a man named George Gibaey and a carter (whose name was not stated) were charged with stealing two boxes of Irish linen from the Ch.rence Dock on Saturday afternoon. It appears that the linen was shipped from an Irish house to Messrs. Mathews & Co. of Water-street, in this town. The steam-packet company, in whose vessel it was brought, sent up the invoice of the packages to the office of Messrs. Mathews, where it was duly filed. In the course of the evening, however, the linen was called for at the Clarence Dock and, no suspicion being entertained, was delivered to the carter who was known to be occasionally employed kty Messrs. Mathews. The carter, moreover, produced the invoice. At present the case is shrouded in some mystery ; and, as the evidence was imperfect for a committal, the prisoners were remanded so that further investigation may be made. shop—this very confused attempt to split hairs.] MEETING OF THE POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY The monthly meeting of this society took place last night, at the Royal Institution. The attendance was numerous, and Mr. W. Bennett, the chairman, presided. Mr. GRANTHA M then proceeded to read an interesting paper on the subject of the screw propeller ; and this being a subject to which Mr. G. has devoted much of his time, and one in which he has had considerable experience, he was listened to throughout with marked attention. He illustrated his remarks by exhibiting several beautiful models and drawings. He stated that his object on the present occasion was rather to make a few additional remarks to what he had some years be fors stated at this society, than to go through the whole sub ject from its origin. He also wished rather to confine his ob servations to the screw as an auxiliary power to be employed in connection with sails, than as an independent power. He ob served that the question of screw propulsion had been under a cloud for some time, owing to the mi-ny discouragements un der which the subject laboured. The difficulties, however, were not connected with the principle, but were owing entirely to faults in practice. The depressed state of the times was also much against new projects. Much forbearance on the part of the public was required—the principle was right—time and ex perience would perfect it. Mr. Grantham then drew attention to the screw, and to several vessels which had continued to work well for some time, but more particularly to the Sarah Sands, which, beyond all doubt, he considered to be the most important case that could be found to test the question of aux iliary steam-power as necessary to the merchants' service. She was now again about to start for America, having crossed the Atlantic about sixteen times—and if crowds of passengers and large cargoes were any test of public confidence, she most certainly possessed a good share of it. She had preserved great regularity, but owing to her small power, and being usually very deeply laden, her speed was not great, unless favoured by the wind, which had not often been the case. Her qualities were the best displayed in bad weather. Mr. Grantham made some observations respecting the government screw-steamers,—immense sums of money had been expended on experiments and on head-vessels, but he regretted to say that they had produced nothing that was likely to lead to improvements in screw propulsion. Mr. Grantham invited discussion, some remarks were made by the chairman and others ; but all favourable to his general opinion. Mr. Smith (of the Gas Company,) paid him a high compliment on his experience in screw propulsion, and proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Grantham, which was carried by acclamation. .OES'S WATER FILTERERS Mr. BENJAMIN Hioos, in introducing this subject, said, that the peculiarity of these filterers was that being attached to the pipes from cisterns, they were at all times supplied with water, which they delivered in a pure state, and that too by self-action. They were also readily cleaned, the operation being so simple that it might be termed "self-acting." The idea of drawing water ready filtered was suggested to the patentee at an eating house in London, where very turbid water was presented. The waiter stated that they had no con venience for the oi- - !ration ; but he himself immediately thought of a sponge forced into avessel, with a clown stream of water, and a cock to draw it off. Subsequent experiments led to a variety of forms of filters, and media of filtration. Woven fabrics of vari ous textures were employed, and the inverting of such filters cleansed them of impurities. In the course of his experiments he obtained a " second " patent. [Here the lecturer exhibited four specimens of filters, by one of which 180 gallons would be discharged in twenty-four hours, sufficient for the supply of even large establishments.] The substances employed as the media of filtration were various—pounded granite, quartz, stone of various kinds, sand, charcoal, &c., separately or com bined, as the requirement may be. The cleansing process is accomplished by the reversing of the stream or flow of water in its action on the filterers, which are extremely compact, and formed of Britannia metal. They are, in fact, quite portable in the hand, and may be attached to any cistern, water-butt, or pipe. One of them (the most perfect) is constructed with two taps—one for filtration, and the other for cleansing itself without unscrewing and inverting. [The only agents in this town are Mr. Bennett and Mr. Higgs.] The lecturer's address was listened to with the greatest at tention, and, after a brief discussion, a vote of thanks was passed by the society. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) FRANCE The vote of the National Assembly on Saturday will, it is said, cause Gen. Cavaignac to resign. This, if accepted, would greatly embarrass the moderate party. LONDON MONEY MARKET.-YESTERDAY We have a very busy market in Consols this morning, accom- , panted with a rather considerable depression of prices. They opened at 861 to *, as they stood on Saturday, and so remained for a short time, when sellers became unexpectedly numerous, and they dropped to Ssi. They are now a fraction worse, still at 851 to 2 both for money and time. This sudden change in stock affairs and fall of prices can only be accounted for by the extraordinary panic which reigns in the share market, where the jobbers are all sellers, with scarcely one to make a price. In fact, it now appears, their cash boxes are all full of stock and scrip, the value of which has been daily so deteriorating, that the holders become desperate. All the business consists of forced sales. The illness of Mr. Hudson has some effect upon the market also. Exchequer Bills are 325. to 355. pre mium. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY The supply of beasts is considerably shorter to-day; but the weather is unfavourable for slaughtering ; trade is consequently slow. .A few choice qualities made 4s. 2d., but 4s. is a more general average. The number of Sheep is rather larger, and the demand so ex ceedingly limited that we. have great difficulty in selling at a reduction of fully 2d. per Sibs. on Monday's quotations. Trade is heavy for Calves, at rather lower prices. LONDON SHARE MARKET.--YEsTERDAY Shares are fearfully bad. The state of the market can only be accounted for by the forced sales which are taking place. We quote London and North-Westerns, 102 to 3 ; Great Westerns, 16 to 15 dis. ; Midlands, 74 to 6 ; Eastern Counties, 12 to ; North Staffords, 7i to 7 dis.; Caledonians, 17i to 18 ; ditto Prefs., 11 to 4 dis. Hudson's northern lines are worse. v MARKET LONDON CORY -YESTERDAY The supply of Wheat this morning by land carriage samples from the near counties was about an average one as regards quantity, but the quality and condition of by far the larger por tion was almost unfit for millers' use. Everything in fine order realised fully last Monday's rates, but the inferior runs were unsaleable, although freely offered at a considerable reduction. There was a good demand for old foreign Wheat for consump tion, at its previous value. The bulk of the English Barley on • • - loe4 ooDail ,E 5 sale was coarse in qua___, prices, but other sorts is. cheaper. Oats improved; in som instances 6d. per quarter more money was obtained for good horse corn. Beans were Is., and ndlite Peas 25., cheaper. It was stated yesterday, that the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners have succeeded in raising the £50,000, and we suppose that the works will now be commenced immediately special extra- LEEDS AND THIRSK RAILWAY.—At a dinary meeting of the shareholders of this company, held at Leeds, on Saturday last, it was determined, in opposition t 3 the wishes of the directory, to reject the proposed agreement for a junction with the East and West Yorkshire Junction Railway Company—the num bers being, in support of the agreement, 597 ; against it, 756. The city article of The Times having stated that Mr. Stegmann, a partner in the house of Messrs. Brownells and Co., of this town, at Buenos Ayres, " was still in prison at Buenos Ayres, on a charge fabricated by Roses, of undermining his dwelling in order to blow him up," Messrs. Brownells have stated, that Mr. Stegmann, after being detained at the police-office, was released by order of General Roses, the charge being, as we think it almost unnecessary to say, quite without foundation. FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR THE JEWS.—Bat as we know that a good Providence hovers over Israel, with better things in store for them than those they now vainly seek after, so have we reason to conclude that this ap proach to political power here and elsewhere in the lands of their dispersion, will be as it hitherto ever has been, but the growth of a night followed by the early decay of a morning. Indeed there are not wanting symptoms already of the probability of a reaction against the Jews, and underground grumbling against them is already audible, and frequent placards abusive of them are posted on the corners of the streets.—Rev. R. W. Wright's Letters from Vienna. DEATH OF THE EARL OF CARLISLE.—This venerable nobleman died on Saturday morning, at his seat, Castle Howard. His lordship was born on September 17th, 1773, and was returned to parliament in 1794 as member for Morpeth. In 1801 he married the eldest daughter of the Duke of Devonshire, who survives her husband. His lordship subsequently represented Cumberland, and was appointed Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of York shire in 1824, and in 1837 he was appointed Chief Com missioner of Woods and Forests, and during the period of the Goderich ministry he held the office of Privy Seal. In 1834 his lordship withdrew from public life. His lord ship's death creates a vacancy in the Order of the Garter, into which illustrious body he was admitted in the year 1837, and the advancement of the present Earl to a seat in the House of Peers will occasion a new election for the West Riding of Yorkshire, Lord Morpeth succeeding to the Earl's title. The deceased peer resigned the office of Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire in the month of July, 1847, and his lordship's eldest son was appointed to succeed him.

He thought the better course would have been to allow the matter to go on, until the Committee made their report, and then take the sense of the Council upon it. His opposition to the principle of the measura was not in the least degree abated ; but he considered the better mode was not to divide the Council upon the for mation of the Committee, as the Council had affirmed the principle. However, if the amendment proposed by Mr. Molyneux, was persisted in, he should certainly vote for it. _ _ An adjourned meeting of the Council was held yester day, at one o'clock, for the purpose of considering the appointment of a committee to carry out the determina tion of the Council to rate the Corporate and Dock A few minutes after one o'clock, T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., the worthy chief magistrate, took the chair, and called upon Mr. Bennett to proceed with his motion. Mr. BENNETT, on rising, said he hoped the Council would allow him to say a few words in explanation, before he proceeded to move the committee. When the Council adjourned last week, he stated that it would be impossible for him (Mr. Bennett) to attend ; hut as the business he was engaged upon was in some measure under his own control, he had, although at considerable inconvenience, postponed it ; but with reference to his friend Mr. Holme, it was a different matter. It was quite impossible for him to be present, as he had an important case to at tend to, and therefore he should take the liberty of read ing to the Council a letter from that gentleman (no, no) in explanation. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE protested against any letter being read excusing the absence of Mr. Holme. If such were permitted, what was to prevent every member of the Council from writing to excuse his absence, and this would lead to considerable inconvenience. . The MAYOR then put the question whether the com mittee should be formed or not, when there appeared For the amendment Against it . Majority 8 For—Messrs. Shand, Rathbone, J. G. Morris, Evans, G. H.

Parker, J, Plimpton, G. H. Lawrence, W. Watson, Thos. Lloyd, John Holme, J. Cooper, and J. Proctor. Mr. Bennett then nominated the followinc , members for the committee :—Messrs. Earle, H. Hornby, S. Holme, Cooper, J. G. Morris, Parker, Danson, Littledale, J. Booker, Walthew, and Bennett. Mr. Morris declined to serve, and his name was struck out. _ _ _ Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE also objected to the letter being read, as calculated to lead to inconvenience. Mr. EARLE said he thought they were altogether out of order in meeting at all to nominate tho committee. The committee ought to have been appointed at the last Coun cil, and he should have toted against the adjournment, only he thought the matter was about to be thrown over board altogether. The MAYOR called upon Mr. Bennett to proceed with his motion for the appointment of the committee, without referring to Mr. Holme's letter, ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.

Mr. LACE said he intended to have brought forward a motion similar to that proposed by Mr. Molyneux, but after what had passed he thought the better course to pursue was to leave it until the report was brought up.

The French National Assembly resolved on Saturday evening by a majority of 390, that the President of the Republic should be elected by quiYersal suffrage, IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE Cape of Good Hope papers of the sth of August have reached us, from which we learn that Pretorius, at the head of 400 men, reached Bloem Fontein on the 17th of July, whence he forwarded a messenger to Major Warden, the British resident, offering terms of capitulation. Major Warden, finding himself altogether in a defenceless posi• tion, and believing that if he refused to accept the propo sition made, Pretorius could compel him to yield by bringing a force of 1000 men against him, assented to the conditions, which were, that he should retire beyond the Orange River, unmolested, with all public and private property belonging to British subjects—thus permitting the Queen's authority, for a short, time at least, to be ex pelled from the northern side of that river. We suspect that when Sir Harry Smith reaches Natal he will teach Pretorius a lesson that he will not soon forget. POTSDAM, OCT. 4.—Yesterday 60 soldiers of the regi ment of the Guards armed with poignards, knives, &c., penetrated at a given signal, into the Chamber of the Political Association, and rushed on the members present, and wounded several. There were 300 soldiers in the club, 70 of whom were cuirassiers. The cry was given, " Cuirassier advance." The latter immediately closed with the guards, and a furious struggle ensued. The re port was then raised in the street that the guards were killing the citizens. The National Guard came up and arrested 40 guards and took them to the Hotel de Ville. THE BRAZILS.—The Seagull packet arrived at Falmouth on Saturday with the Brazil mail, and a considerable freight in specie, &c. All was quiet in the Brazils, but all branches of trade were exceedingly depressed. Ex change declined to a point below calculation, the fall since January having amounted to 21j per cent. In addition to these facts, the state of the import trade was truly la mentable; of most articles the receipts were considerably in advance of those of any previous month of the year, whilst business generally had been restricted. Some few articles which had been in demand sold readily ; but inde pendently of these and of estivas, which being perishable could not be held, the sales was unimportant. Freights were firmer early than at the close of the month ; but from the quantity of disengaged vessels in port. a decline in the current rates was looked for. The exchange at Rio was 22 ; Bahia, 221 • and Pernambuco, 23. Stock (6 per cent.) after having advanced to 86 and 861, had gradually declined to 80 and 81. The latest dates from the River Plate were to the 20th of July, at which period Rosas was endeavouring to make terms with the Monte Videans, enticing them to give up the aid of the English and French powers. The terms demanded of the English Minister were—an indemnification of 55,000,000, the withdrawal of the Haval forces, and cession of all rights to the trade of Parana. At Bahia and Pernambuco business was very dull and freights very low, whilst the markets were over charged with British manufactures. GENERAL TRADE REPORT Monday Night. The time for progress is still put off ; and the mate . - riel for successful trade operations suffered to lie partially dormant. With the exception of the West India, interest, a cheering future is looked for in every other de partment. It is only a question of time. The low price of Cotton affords every encouragement to the manufac turer, while it is still remunerative to the importer • and as the warlike enthusiasm of our continental neighbours is dwindling into a very small compass, a revival of ac tivity may be considered near at hand in this most im portant branch. The share-market is a problem at present, but the depreciation going on does not appear to affect other securities, Consols closing firmly on Saturday at an advance of on the week. The rally in the SHARE Market, noticed in our second edition of last week, lasted only for the day : prices re ceded each day since, and close this evening lower than ever they were known. We learn, by telegraph, that London Stock has been in London as low as 102 ; Mid land at X. _ _ _ _ . . Waiting the arrival of the steamer, there has been little done in Brunswick-street to-day in Indian Corn. We have had some inquiry for old Wheats at previous rates ; but new Wheat, being in bad condition, moved off very slowly. The fall which had previously taken place in Oats seems to• have gone beyond its proper limit, and a reaction having taken place, they are rather dearer to day. With regard to stocks here, they are considerably below those held at this period last year, which were esti mated at 120,000 qrs. Wheat, 400,000 brls. Flour. 300,000 qrs. Indian Corn, and 200,000 brls. Indian Meal • while at the present time they amount to about 60 , 000 qrs. Wheat, 30,000 brls. Flour, 20,000 qrs. Indian Corn, and 3,000 brls. Indian Meal. The demand, however, has not hitherto been sufficient to call for such extensive sup plies. The Albion doubts the probability of the report from Washington, which gives an available surplus for export of 200,000,000 bushels of various descriptions of breadstuffs of last year's produce, and contends, that " had the production of America been, so excessive in 1847 as is represented in the Government report, the great outlet would' have felt its effects in enlarged receipts and low prices, instead of stinted supplies and enhanced values." We partly agree with our contemporary, and suspect that there must be some exaggeration ; it must, however, be taken into consideration that the great ex pense of carriage from the Western States may have had something to do with the limited supply at the places of shipment, which the natural result of low prices, had growers flooded the market, would have rendered unre munerative. American Corrom has never been cheaper than at the present time, not excepting the summer of 1845,. when we held a stock of upwards of one million bales. The decline this week is principally in the better kinds, which are in very moderate request, and fully id. cheaper; the demand being chiefly confined to the ordinary to mid dling qualities, which have barely receded a quotation. Surat is the only description of cotton which has main tained its price, and the business has been limited in con sequence. On Saturday, the sales were about 4000 bales, chiefly American, at 31d. to 4d. per lb. The market was extremely heavy. About 500 bales were taken for export. The market opened THIS MORNING with steady demand from the trade, which holders met freely at Friday's quo tations, and which have probably been rather more easily. obtained ; the pressure to sell having been somewhat less prominent. The business is estimated at 6000 bales, nearly altogether American, from 2d. to 5d., chiefly 3id. to 3d. About 1,500 Orleans for export. The prices of Scotch Pig IRoN are somewhat lower this week. The market has been very dull, the value of mixed numbers being nominally 445., at Glasgow.—The Mining Journal reports an improvement in the mining share market, and a rise of £2 per ton on Tin. The TIMBER trade,. since the 29th of September, shows an arrival from British America, up to the Bth instant, of 33 vessels-21,968-tons. The sales since the 29th ult., consist of St. John, a cargo, 20 inch average, at 18d. per foot, with ash, elm, and spruce, at 10d., and deals at ltd. Of Quebec, three cargoes have been sold at 140. per foot for yellow pine, at 171 d. to 18d. for red, 21d. to 22d, for oak, and .£7 per standard for deals. A cargo of Dalhousie timber was sold at 3d. per foot for pine and birch, £8 10s. per standard for yellow deals, and £6 per standard for spruce. St. John spruce deals, a cargo has been sold at £6 16s. per standard. The IRISH Provision trade is nearly limited to the transactions in Butter, of which article, owing to the arrivals being again on the increase, and the demand trivial, holders have offered prime samples of Northerns and Southerns at a decline of Is. per cwt., and have been met very slowly. AMERICAN. — We have had a fair supply of good Cheese ; about 2,000 boxes, brought forward at auction, met a tolerably ready sale ; the top price, for one small lot, be ing 525. The supply of Beef continues small. There is a good demand for Pork, at various prices according to quality, but holders of the lower kinds of " prime mess" are not disposed to accept the offers of dealers, and are re-shipping a large portion of their stocks for sale in Phi ladelphia, where prices are higher. No change in Bacon. The grease Butter offering is of inferior quality, and lower prices have been accepted ; the season for this article is nearly over. LARD.—Our market is in a very fluctuating state, the demand this week has been extremely limited, and prices have again given way fully ls. per cwt. ; good to fine quality has been sold at 435. per cwt. The TALLOW market is dull, and prices have run down 6d. to ls. per cwt. in Liverpool. The value of P.Y.C. in London is 465. per cwt. ; here, 475. 6d- to 48s. Odessa, here, 465. 6d. to 475. ; North American, 465. 6d. to 475. ; ditto Butchers' Association, 475. There is not any material to notice in the Wool. market. Foreign continues very dull, but prices are without alteration. In Scotch a little more has been doing, principally in the better class ; inferior parce very unsaleable. ls are Siuc.—Since the arrival of the China mail there has been less disposition shown on the part of importers to sell, and higher prices asked ; an advance has been ob tained of 6d. per lb. on all low and middling qualities both of Tsatlee and Taysaams good and fine Tsatless are firm, but without alteration. in price. In Bengal Silks the stocks are considerably reduced, and with some im provement in price. In Italian, Brussa, and Persian Silks there is less offering, and higher prices asked. The disturbed state of the Continent has greatly inter fered with our usual demand for SHELL LAC, and prices have declined 2s. to 3s. per cwt. The amount of notes in circulation is £17,549,020, be ing an increase of £238,015 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £13,678,493, showing a decrease of £186,588, when compared with the preceding return.
