I read, inspired by passionate longings for distinc tion ; but the recoil of my overtasked energies was dreadful. Then it was that I sunk into the lethargy of despair ; then it was that my better angel abandoned me, and I became— need I say what, to one who knows already the weaknesses of my nature? Remorse preyed upon my awakening hours, and, to still the goadings of conscience, I fell again and again, and was alternately the studious anchorite and the maddened hunter after oblivion of self and the world." Still it is probable that even in this profession Melton might have ultimately succeeded to the utmost of his ambi tious drearnings ; but fate had a darker lot in store for him. He was summoned from the scene of his struggles and his errors to attend the bedside of a dying parent ; and he ar. rived at the home of his youth only to stand by and weep over the lifeless remains of that beloved one, and to know that, with a pale and feeble girl, worn with watching and scarcely a week removed from that last sleep enjoyed by him whose parting hours she had tended so assiduously, he was now alone in the world. The presence of death is ever a stern and certain monitor that we live amidst the realities of an exacting, though a fleeting world. Can the dreamer look upon the pallid cheek and the speechless lips of a cherished object and still dream on 7 Can the worldling ii , ig his pleasures, the lover cling to his love, the miser gloat upon his hoard, whilst his gaze is upon that curdling evidence of the vanity of all things ? No, no ! At such an hour, the vainest, the most thoughtless, the most reckless amongst us, is ever stirred, as if the icy hand of the pale monarch were busy tracing his warnings upon that seared heart ; and Henry Melton, as he gazed upon that form around which he had hung in childhood and in boyhood—upon those lips which had so often breathed words of love, of counsel, of hope, and of warning upon his young ear—upon those closed eyes which had beamed upon him in gladness and affection—upon that form once glowing in health and strength, and yet now so shrunk, so strangely still—felt in that one moment the►goading memoirs, the wild dreams, which had haunted him for years, pass from him, like guilty spirits from the bursting light of the judgment- seat, and stood up before his own soul an awakened, a thoughtful, though a suffering man. "If ever," he told me in one of our interviews—" if ever, during ten years of a chequered, a wearisome, and I fear, a guilty career, there was a hope for me in the world, it was when, standing by the cold remains of that good old man, I felt that I had at once become a father and a protector to the frail being who knelt by his bedside, and bathed his wasted cheeks with her blinding tears. I could have led an honour able career to shelter that dear sister in her almost etherial beauty. Her blue eyes beam upon me now with the same appealling look which they wore when we returned at last from the grave of the departed, and in our lone dwelling, she murmured that we were then to be every thing to each other. Her form is still before me as she trod for a time those loved scenes which her calm, quiet smile made a heaven to one passion -tossed as I had been. But the dream—and it was but a dream—an oasis in the desert of my existence— passed by, melted from my grasp. But why describe its passing? A month, a short month, beheld her borne to her last sleep, with the loved ones who had gone before, and I was abandoned to the world, and oh—worse than all !—to ersity improves as it progresses—tires t mY3el-1" Melton returned to London with the wreck of the humble home, which was now become desolate, his only patrimony. The prospect—the actual pressure of poverty—was nov added to the other difficulties with which he had to struggle , he became— With that title, " a literary man," what erronious at tributes a thoughtless world has associated ! We contemplate the career of successful authorship ; we picture to ourselves the gifted poet, the admired novelist, the historian, the philosopher, the political essayist, or the dramatist, as the centre of worshipping throngs, the spoiled children of flattery and fortune. We have before us, too, the career of him who has worn away the last hours of his earthly existence in ob scurity and penury, to be rewarded in after years with fame and almost idolatry ; but little know we how many thousands of gifted, wayward beings sink down in the struggle, with out either a present reward to smooth the ruggid path of life, to protect them from the approaches of care and even of want, or the confident assurance of future immortality to cheer them in their last miserable hours. Let the man of talent or the man of genius, even, who has not fortune to austain him in his ambitious longings ; who has not friends to cheer him on ;—above all, let him who has not that best gift of Heaven—a happy heart—or who is cunt with that Seek worst possession of man—dispiriting or remors o e u fu ld l memories —shun, as he would a pest house, or as he w rugged and heart- w earying career of authorship. rather the drud ger y o f th e m eanest employ 6 of commerce; seek th e di ngy atmosphere of the merc h an t' s counting house ; p l unge i nto the busy whirl of every d ay lif e ; forget the w ild aspirings of youth ; escape from the haunt i ng dreams an d fa i ry memories of boyhood ;—do this, and, b y the blessing of a merciful creator, there may still be peace, and even a calm and reasonable sum of earthly happiness, for the wounded and sunken heart. There may appear something sordid—something humiliat ing to the character of man —in this advice. And yet it is but too well justified by numberless melancholy experiences. I may be asked the question "is there no hope on earth for man once fallen? Do the withered hopes of boyhood blight the whole after life? Do the dead leaves of the first summer still linger round the tree in its maturity ? Is there a warm sun and a vivifying soil for the flower or the shrub which the tempest has trampled, and is there no hope for the bowed down spirit of a being created only a little lower than the angels, and moulded in the express image of his Maker ?"

M. L PASSAGES PROM AN EDITOR'S NOTE-BOOK (For the Liverpool Standard.) HENRY MELTON CHAPTER V It is a sad and yet an instructive office to contemplate such objects of fallen humanity as my poor friend Melton, in their mental s t rugg l es ; an d ye t h ow se ld om ar e we per mitted to do more than gaze upon the outside wreck—how little do we understand of the jarring chords, the tuneless and broken wires, which fill the hollowness of that shell which, to the ordinary observer, is man in his perfectness ! There stands the once noble form, shattered, yet still the best work of the God who made him. The ample forehead still displays the power of a mind formed to comprehend all nature ; the eyes still gleam with intellectual fire ; the lip still retains its proud curve ; the very tread is still that of a being destined from the beginning to walk with angels " the star-paved courts of heaven." And yet all within is weak ness—all is discord—all is wretchedness. The spirit which inhabits the majestic or graceful external mocks itself — spurns at its own grovelling sympathy with mere earthly passions —laughs in bitterness at its own conscious and crawling prostration. In such a state of fallen power, the spirit of poor Melton was laid bare before me in bursts of passionate reminiscences. The path to such a state he per mitted me, as I sate daily by his bedside, to contemplate step by step. I was enabled to trace, with almost microsco pic distinctness, the wearing of his once noble mind as he sunk from stage to stage of feeling—from the condition of one hoping and trusting in a happy future, to that of a being living only the dull and passionless life of one without hope or fear or love to animate him in his contact with the world, until he became a mere living automaton, a thing of mere animal wants, a creature sentient yet scarcely reflective, with less of heaven in its composition than of the mere earthy nature of the worm whose food is human corruption and decay. To such degradation the spirit of man does occasionally sink, and the most sentient spirit the most readily. To such degradation the spirit of Henry Melton—revelling in the con sciousness of its eclipse, clutching the evidences, hugging the bitter reality of its sad change, gloating upon its isolation from sympathy, rejoicing in its absolute abandonment to shame—had at one time fallen ; and oh, how painful must have been the task, to one who had known and loved him in his better days, to contemplate the obscuration of a soul once so bright, so full of radiant hope, so replete with con- fident assurances of happiness and solid wortl And yet his had been no voluntary fall. He had not em braced dissipation and moral abandonment from a love of the sensual gratifications which they afford. He had not sunk down into the embrace of vice with the love and the beauty of virtue (which had once dwelt within him) banished and forgotten things. No : he had striven, from the first hour of that shock which reft him of the brighest dream of his boyhood, to be something nobler and better than the reckless being he had nevertheless become. When impelled to yield up the thought of entering that sacred office for which he had been designed from his very childhood, he bad still looked forward to a career in which the mental powers, of which he could not but be conscious, might enable him to shine. " I will still achieve something worthy of me," was his constant mental resolve. " They shall not yet be per mitted to despise or to mourn for me ; "—and imagination would picture to him the fond looks of a revered parent, the exulting smiles of an affectionate sister, and can we doubt that, in such moments, would shoot upon his dreamy vision the admiring, perhaps also the still loving, gaze of another fair being—of her who had cast him from her heart, and was now the bride of another? Such a dream did come ; it clung to him through years of alternate struggle and self-abandon ment; it never left him until it was reft from him by the relentless hand of death itself, and the world became to him a very desert ! On resigning the thoughts of the church as a profession, Melton had turned his attention to the bar, and entered himself at one of the inns of court. For nearly four years he had read, at times, with incontrollable ardour ; but his was not naturally the mind or the temperament suited for that profession, and time, though it bad skinned over the wound inflicted upon his spirit in his earlier years, had failed in restoring its even poise. "My hours," he remarked of happy man, the mitten and cheerful bclng who ha: no spectral and chiding memories to haunt him—to whose eye all nature in her loveliness is undimmed by the shadow of guilt or grief—to whose ear the whispering of the breezes in the meadow or the hedgerows, the musical flow of the streamlets, the roll of the rapid river or the dash of the torrent, come unmingled with the funereal tread and the dirge like tones of departed peace and wrecked happiness—may win from the troubled joys and even the pains of such a career delight indescribable and measureless. The mourner, even, may forget in it for a time his grief; and the wretched, for a time, lose in it the consciousness of his wretchedness. But to some spirits—and no insignificant number—the brightest and most entrancing forgetfulness which it affords is but the delirious madness of the opium eater, which plunges them, when its passion is exhausted, into a still deeper and darker hell than that from which its seducing intoxication first dragged them. Such a career, however, Henry Melton had now embraced ; and for success in such a one he had talents which eminently fitted him. His mind was in itself deeply poetical. He possessed fancy, imagination, and taste ; and, withal, a memory stored with the purest gems of antiquity, and en riched, as well, with the fruits of an extensive reading of our best modern writers. But to what particular branch of literature must his varied powers be applied ? He was, to one of his habits of viewing the world, little above the pressure of want, about a hundred pounds being all that was left him of his once fair, though not glittering, expectations of fortune. Something, therefore, must be done which afforded a prospect of immediate remuneration ; and be turned his attention at once, as a temporary resource, to the field which was open to him in our periodical literature. He made his first attempt, and it was unsuccessful,—as we venture to say would be the first and many an after attempt of the loftiest talent which our Universities could furnish. The classical and pure style, the cultivated taste, the chaste feeling, and refined fancy of the first-class man were not those qualities best calculated to win favour with the super cilious editorship of the fashionable authors, the obscure philosophers, or the threadbare jesters, who rule absolutely in the literary cathedra of New Bond-street or Paternoster row. They were not, either, the qualities which an ener vated public mind looks upon with approbation as the characteristics of successful magazine literature Melton could neither furnish a dawdling detail of drawing room frippery, modelled upon the sayings and doings of the Housekeeper's Coterie, or the Ladies' Maid's Levee ; a brilliant passage in the career of some sentimental cut throat ; the interesting memoranda of a trip to Margate, or a pic-nic excursion to Hampton Court; or a record of a birthday party of some amiable Miss Higgs or Popkins, the daughter of some eminent tallow chandler in the City, at which the tender heart of some Mr. Augustus Tornkins was blown into an undying flame, and the foundation was laid for a union between the two houses of Higgs and Tomkins—the glory of Cripplegate Within, and Bow-lane or Hounsditch. Such productions as these, which furnish the every-day materials of a certain class of our monthly periodicals, were as far beyond the reach of Melton as a dozen consecutive pages, containing sound reasoning, healthy and pure fancy, or correct English feeling, conveyed in grammatically con structed language, would be above the powers of the male or female triflers from whose literary workshop they are issued to the world. Another class of periodicals, distinguished by a higher order of literature, was tried, but with little greater success. Here my poor friend was doomed to experience " how hard it is to climb," even into the favour of men, — who ought to be able to discern and appreciate talent,—when the ascent is not smoothed and assisted by the breath of popular approbation and a previously acquired name. He imagined, and half the world has imagined before him, that to an honored place in the columns of —, and —, and —, the only key required, and the surest warrant for ad mission, was the power to amuse, to instruct, to gladden mankind ; that genius never sought for admission within those portals in vain; that the bright imaginings of the poet, the wisdom of the statesman, the knowledge of the econo mist, the taste and learning of the critic, were ever welcomed there HARVEST PROSPECTS (From the Manchester Chronicle.) On the authority of the Mark Lane Express, our contem porary the Guardian presumed to take Sir James Graham to task, on Wednes , for anticipating a good harvest. The Express is a very slippery authority to rely on—quite as much as the Guardian itself—and when the judgment of such a man as Sir James Graham, with his means of information, is called in question, it is necessary to he very sure of the grounds on which one goes. Now, the Mark Lane Express has very often a double game to play. In its first page it gives a circular on the corn trade, carefully adapted to the views of the corn dealers, and about this period of the year it is always the cue of those gentlemen to hold a desponding tone as to the coming harvest—to push prices up and duties down—and to land their supplies advantageously in the mar ket before the truth becomes known and abundance has swamped their profits. And to serve these purposes is the first article of the Express devoted. But, in the body of the same paper is to be found its agricultural report—a document not emanating from the corn market, nor adjusted to that meridian ; but coming fresh from the farms and fields, and compelled to use language which the eyes and experience of the practical agriculturists will ratify. Let us, therefore, compare these two reports as given in the last Express Corn Dealers' Report Farmers' Report We have no hesitation in All the accounts we meet affirming, that there is scarce- with confirm the general state ly a possibility, even with a ments of the great improve continuance of the most pro- ment in the crops throughout pitious weather, of an average the United Kingdom.

We do mention the thinness of the not adopt this opinion without autumn-sown wheat ; we re mature consideration, and peat, that in a few low situa carefully comparing all the tions, where the flood of win agricultural reports we have ter remained long on the been able to collect, from no surface, and was renewed by one quarter do we hear of a the unfortunate recurrence of prospect of a large yield, and wet in March, wheat lost three out of every four. letters plant, but the crops which we anticipate a deficiency. observe—AND THEY ARE IN VAST BREADTH—are strong, thick on the ground, and of fully average height. Look on this picture and on that—both extracts are from the Mark Lane Express of Monday last—and this double faced journal is designated " a much more trustworthy authority " than Sir James Graham ! The Home Secretary of State is fully borne out in his view by the personal ob servations of the agricultural reporter for the Express, but the gentleman who sits in the counting-house at Mark Lane and receives or manufactures letters, is of quite a different opinion, and on his sleeve the Guardian, in its infallibility, chooses rather to pin its faith ! He was mistaken. It is not so. The turgid poetry or the frigid prose of the man who has a reputation, is more acceptable than intellectual gems from the man who is un known. A popular writer can throw off a few sketchy pages in an hour of leisure or of vapid feeling—when the fatigue of the last soiree is not expelled from his listless limbs, and whilst the incense of flattery which steamed around him is still lingering amid his languid thoughts—and the world will read them, and publishers will pay for them, because they are the production of the author of —, of one who bears a charmed name, and is—fashionable ! The man of sterling talent may throw his whole soul into an essay, a tale, or a poem, and reap only disappointment, neglect, or even obloquy. He is unknown ! In these latter efforts, however, Melton was not altogether unsuccessful. It would have been discreditable indeed to critical acumen of editorship if he had been so. I have seen myself and many of my readers may have met with some of his productions in the pages of one leading periodical, and read them with delight, although ignorant alike of the name and the person of the gifted author. But the world at large judges not thus—is not thus impartial in its fiat. Periodical literature is, in itself, a fleeting thing. The rarest production of intellect, cast into that devouring streat, endures but until the next wave comes dancing on, bearing on its crest new gems, new flowers. The admired essay of this month is wiped away from memory by the flood of fresh beauties or new born dulness, which another month brings with it; and hence mere talent or genius, even when they can win admission, are seldom, and then but wretchedly, rewarded. A crowd of well-known names upon the title-page of any periodical publication is a surer pass port to success, and, what booksellers value as its acconipa niment—profit—than if some hitherto " mute inglorious Milton " were to enrich its pages with another " Paradise Lost," or a Spencer pourtray afresh— " The heavenly Una, and her wilk-white lamb." . . Amongst such men is distributed the golden shower of lite rary reward, whilst to the struggling aspirant is meted out a miserable pittance only, scarcely sufficient to furnish oil for the lamp, by whose light he consumes bis youth and man hood in his lone garret. Such was the degree of success which attended the literary labours of poor Melton. His little patrimony melted ra pidly from his grasp; and in anguish and disappointment, and not unfrequently in dissipation and self-abandonment, he contemplated a clouded future gathering around his head. FUTURE FATE OF FRANCIS John Francis, when he reached his destination, will not be placed in a comfortable situation, and after a short time obtain his liberty with a chance of advancement. There, confined to a spot where there is no escape but through a line of armed officers and fierce dogs trained to give an alarm, and to seize, if need be, with devouring fury, the flying convict, he will have to perform the most irksome labour, and become, probably, " the wretched prcedial slave of some harsh master, compelled by the lash to work till his strength fails, and liable to be placed in chains for the slightest offence. There have been cases in which the con vict appears to have committed a new crime, in the hope that the hand of justice would terminate his deplorable existence. Dr. Ullathorne, a Roman Catholic priest, gave evidence to this effect. In 1831, he said, in Norfolk Island, to v7hich place John Francis will probably be sent, a conspiracy to take the island had been formed. The attempt was made and failed. Some of the prisoners were killed and wounded, and thirty-one were condemned to death. Dr. Ullathorne and a Protestant clergyman were sent to attend those who were to suffer. On his arrival at the island, though it was late at night, as those who were to be executed had but five days to live, he went to the prison, and there he witnessed such a scene, he says, as he never witnessed before. The thirty-one wretched men were confined in three cells, and on his proceeding to an nounce the names of those who were selected to suffer, the effect of his speech was exactly the opposite of what would have been anticipated. As he mentioned the individuals who were to be put to death, one after another dropped on his knees and thanked God that he was to be delivered from that horrible place, while those whose lives were spared stood mute and weeping in profound dismay. This gentleman added, it was very common for culprits, on their way to the scaffold, to express joy that they were not going to Norfolk Island ; another Catholic minister, who bad attended seventy four executions, declared that the greater number of those he had attended in their last moments had exhibited the same feeling. _ It would - be to sicken our readers to enlarge on all the horrors of " the living death," which is the unhappy lot of him whose crimes send him to Norfolk Island. There may have been some abatement of them, and such we hope is the case since the report to which we have referred was made ; but hard fare, hard labour, and misery in every shape, awaits the guilty being, whose forfeited life is not taken by the executioner. Eight long years must pass before any material relief will be afforded, and when penitence has earned some moderate amelioration, the criminal must still remain, till the close of life, a despised exile, far from his home, his relatives, and all who would look up on hi m w ith ki n d ness , or cheer him with their society. L et those who have listened to the nonsense which has been uttered about Oxford bear this in mind, and repress the mad throbbings, before it is too late, which would urge them t o see k wretched notoriety, beset as it is with enduring reproach, and intolerable pain. A ROMANTIC INCIDENT.—The last rays of an autumnal sun were gildi ng the tops of th e sp i res of the old Abbey of Westminster, when a figure emerged from the dark gothic archway and d ar t e d, with the rapidity of n we lightning, along the side t h o n ere the monasti c b The stranger wa s fallingt which fello and i wore round rer f e the formerly d wall had which their m ar ksth i e iis sitec dwelling. i! ample folds his dressed neck a i n a dark profusion tunico of mohair, otf i and was fastened inside his vest by some invisiblei process. His legs were covered by a woollen material, shaped int o a Canova, Nollek " s' ore garment, in accordance with the age in which he l his feet were cased in leather , cut into the fantl eti c form • and i characteristic of the period which we are writi ng head, which was moulded much after the models which Phiiis dwiaess,tmCaacroetwt,mPigrhatxihtealve es, produced, rßoedhuneeesd was disfigured in some , ens degree by a round black covering, which was pulled down almost to the eyebrows, and the finely chiselled chin of the stranger was concealed in a bird's-eye handkerchief. Hi s nose looked as if it was fresh from the studio of the sculptor, so delicately did it appear carved out into alto relievo from the countenance, and the stranger's eyes might have been just wet from the easel of Michael Angelo, Buonarotti, or Martin Archer Shee, so strikingly did the pupil appear to be thrown in between the lowering lashes. Scarcely had the stranger gained the eastern angle of the cloister, into which he was about to dart, when an individual muffled up in a cloak stood befor e him, and producing two papers, placed one in the hand of the mysterious individual in the tunic, and having merely called his attention to the other, hastily retired. The stranger sunk exhausted upon the stone bench that runs round the cloister, and the paper fell from his hand. I darted forward—l picked up the writing that had produced such an effect upon the stranger's frame, for he was by this time in strong convulsions. Having restored his animation by the usual means, I proceeded to peruse the paper * * * it was—the copy of a writ t—Punch. " Execution, in all cases, as well capital as otherwise, must be performed by the legal officer, the Sheriff, or his deputy ; whose warrant for so doing was anciently by precept under the hand and seal of the Judge, as it is still practised in the Court of the Lord High Steward, upon the execution of a peer ; though, in the Court of the Peers in Parliament, it is done by writ from the King. Afterwards it was established, that in case of life, the Judge may command execution to be done without any writ. And now the usage is, for the Judge to sign the calender, or list of ail the prisoners's names, with their separate judgments in the margin, which is left with the Sheriff. As, for a capital felony, it is written opposite to the prisoner's name, " let him be hanged by the neck ;" formerly, in the days of Latin and abbreviation, "sus. per col." for "suspendatur per collum." And this is the only warrant that the Sheriff has for so material an act as taking away the life of another. It may certainly afford matter of speculation, that in civil causes there should be such a variety of writs of execution to recover a trifling debt, issued in the King's name, and under the seal of the court, without which the Sheriff cannot legally stir one step ; and yet that the execution of a man, the most important and terrible task of any, should depend upon a marginal note." Thus, it is seen, that the only case where a writ from the Sovereign, or a " death-warrant," was ever required, was on the execution of a peer, in pursuance of a sentence of the peers in parliament. This court is now entirely disused. It will be remembered, that upon the recent trial of Lord Car digan, Lord Denman was created Lord High Steward, and the prisoner was tried in the Court of the Lord High Steward, and not the Court of the Peers in Parliament. The Queen has, personally, no more power to pardon than she has power to condemn. A pardon, to be valid, must have certain formalities, which formalities can only be given to it by some responsible officer. For this, we cite another passage from Blackstone : " 1. First, it must be under the great seal, a warrant under the privy seal, or sign manual, though it may be a sufficient authority to admit tha party to bail, in order to plead the King's pardon, when obtained in proper form, yet is not of itself a complete irrevocable pardon. 2. Next it is a general rule, that, wherever it may reasonably be presumed the King is deceived, the pardon is void. Therefore, any suppression of truth, or suggestion of falsehood, in a charter of pardon, will vitiate the whole ; for the King was misinformed." The keeper of the Great Seal is the Lord Chancellor ; the person responsible for the affixing the privy signet to the warrant for the pardon is the Home Secretary. Both these officers of state, but especially the latter, are responsible to the country if they should allow the personal and private feelings of the Sovereign to interfere with the course of public justice. THE ROYAL PREROGATIVE OF PARDON. We have heard so much ignorance lately, even from per sons who ought to be better conversant with such matters, upon the subject of the power of the Queen to pardon any crime, ea• ;hero mo/u, that we think we may perhaps do service to some of our readers by a short statement of what, i❑ a legal point of view, a pardon is, and how it is granted. In the first place, it is a complete mistake to suppose that there is, or ever was, in the ordinary process of law, such a thing as a death-warrant signed by the Sovereign. In the case of the bill of attainder, the Sovereign must, of course, consent, as she must to any other bill, before it becomes law ; but in ordinary cases she has no official knowledge whatever either of the trial, the condemnation, or the approaching execution. The law upon this subject is very lucidly ex plained in the following extract from Blackstone's Com mentaries : RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS (From the Railway Magazine of Saturday, July 9.), The following calculation of the last weekly returns of 40 railways, 1150 miles in length, given in our present number, will, we believe, be of interest:--Number of passengers on ' 25 railways, 307,085 - c onsequently, the total for th week must be about 400,000. The receipts for passengers on 39 railways, £74,211 3s. 4d. ; ditto for goods on 33 railways, £18,216 4s. 11d. ; total, £92,427 Bs. 3d. This is a n ave rage of £63f per mile per week. The traffic, therefore, is certainly at the rate of about four millions a year, and car rying fifteen millions of passengers. Passen gers. Passen [per day ICor. wk.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 11. We have had a very quiet week in the Butter trade, prices ranging from 78s to 82s for Waterford and Carlow,• and SOs to 83s for Kilkenny and Belfast brands. Pickled Butter is in moderate re quest for the Brazils, and 79s to sus about the market value. Beef and Pork,—beyond the demand for stores,—are absolutely neglected, and we fear prices will be seriously affected, by the large supplies which are beginning to make their appearance from the United States, and which are to-day admitted at the reduced duty. Bacon in steady request at 46s to 47s for the finest Belfast. MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, JULY 9. The trade, since our last report, has ruled steady, with a fair de. mand for each article for consumption, at full prices. Supplies of home produce from all our accustomed sources continue small; but the arrivals of foreign and Canadian Wheat and Flour to Liverpool are heavy. The weather throughout the week has been cold and rainy, and this happening as it does, at the time when growing Wheat is in blossom, has had some little influence upon the gene ral tone of the trade, particularly at Liverpool and Wakefield yes terday, a good business being done at both markets in Wheat, both free and in bond, at full, and for select samples , rather better prices. At this day's market the few samples of fresh English Wheat offering, are taken at a small advance upon the rates of our last : the best qualities of foreign are in fair request, and inferior descriptions maintain their previous value. The stock of home made Flour is small. and good qualities bring fully last week's rates. The recently imported American is also in good request, at 6d. per barrel dearer. Oats are somewhat firmer, but without im provement in value or demand. Fresh Meal meets a better sale, at the prices demanded last week. Beans, Peas, and Malt, go off slowly, at late rates.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JULY 8 The supply of Grain this week for the tune of the year is to a fair extent. Fine fresh Wheat being scarce was in good demand at prices somewhat exceeding those of last week, but all other sorts sold slowly without any improvement in value. Grinding Barley again the turn dearer with a short supply. There was rather more doing in Oats, Beans and Peas, but without any altera tions in prices.. Shelling as last noted. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JULY 8. The demand for Sugar continues limited, and holders not being disposed to give way to price, the sales of B.

Some runs of EssPx Wheat were left over from Monday, arid that day's prices have been realised, There has been a tolerably good sale of free foreign Wheat, at the rates of Monday, and a few cargoes of bonded afloat from Odessa have been disposed of at rather declining prices. Barley is a dull sale, and there is not much offering. Peas and Beans are in limited demand, and Irish Oats are still declining in value, whilst English maintain Monday's currency. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JULY 8 The supply of beasts in to-day's market being comparatively on the increase, and the attendance of buyers by no means numer ous, the Beef trade was very dull, at a decline on Monday's quo tations of ad per 81b, the very highest figure being 4s 6d. The ar rivals from Scotland did not exceed 100 Scots. Although the num bers of Sheep were not to say great, the sale for them was slow, at barely stationary prices. The Lamb trade was dull, and the ex treme currency for the best Essex qualities was 5s 6d per 81b. The inquiry for Veal was renovated, at au improvement of 2d per 81b. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Mikh Cows sold at from 4'16 to en each, by the quantities of Blbs, sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 8. We make no change in our quotations this week. The demand to-day has been steady for all descriptions. The public sale went off heavily, and what was sold was at nomi nal prices. Exporters have taken 1400, and speculators 1500. The total sales amount to 29,000 bales. COTTON MARKET, -WEEKLY REPORT. The demand has been regular and steady throughout the week, and the market has assumed a somewhat firmer appearance ; prices, however, are without change, except for the inferior qualities of American, which are again rather lower. At public sale to-day 1230 Sea Island and 387 Stained were offered, and 330 of the former and 230 of the latter were sold at a decline of d per lb on the common qualities ; 870 Laguayras were also offered, but withdrawn for want of buyers. Speculators have taken 1400 American and 100 Surat, and Exporters 1300 American, do Maranham and 50 Surat. 3000 Surat are declared for auction on Friday next. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the Ist to the 7th instant, inctusine LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY g. The duties for the ensuing week are unaltered, with the exception of Beans, reduced on foreign to 9s. 6d., and on colonial to ls. per quarter. 'We continue to be pretty well supplied with foreign Wheat, the imports of the past three days amounting to 12,109 qrs., —about one-half from Baltic, and the remainder from French and Mediterranean ports ; there are also some further arri vals of Flour from Canada and the United States ; but the quantity of all articles both coastwise and from Ireland, as usual at this season, is light, the' export in those directions being more than sufficient to counterbalance what we have received. Between Tuesday last and to-day, the trade upon the whole has remained firm. For Wheat we have bad a more general inquiry, in consequence of the still unsettled state of the weather ; and though no transactions of moment have occurred, the sales made for consumption have been to an average extent, and at the full rates of that day. In addition to a good inquiry from town and country mil lers at our Corn Exchange this morning, several parcels of Wheat changed hands on speculation, making the business done, generally, to a fair amount, at prices quite as high as those of our last circular, and in a few instances at Id. per bushel advance. Flour was also a better sale, and rather dearer. Within this day or two speculative buyers have again appeared for Oatmeal, and including the transactions of to-day, about 5,000 loads have been taken for investment : consumers have also purchased more freely, and we note prices the turn higher. Oats are held more firmly, but are without any improvement in the demand or actual value. In Beans, Barley, and Pease little passing, and prices al most nominal. During the week 3,000 barrels of best States Flour have brought 295. per barrel, in bond, and there are buyers of a farther quantity at this rate ; at which, however, holders of choise brands now refuse to sell.
