Aerial in Arrival at Limerick from Tarbert—Approach to the City —Congratulations of Friends—An Irish Welcome — Limerick, its Public Edifices ' S:c. As we had enter e d T ar b er t i n th e night, guided after leav ing Kilrush by the lighthouse at the former harbour, we had seen the shores of the Shannon merely as clouds on the horizon ; and being anxious to lose no opportunity, during my intended short stay, of taking (as a sailor would say) what observations I could, I therefore lost no time in gain ing the deck early in the morning, roused by the " didder ing" noise, and trenzblement, caused by the suction in the flues of the furnaces, indicating that the steam was getting up. Shortly afterwards the anchor was smartly weighed, under the direction of Captain Kennedy, now in command of the vessel in his native stream, of which he is an experi enced pilot; and we started off " for Limerick, ho ! " at about half-past four o'clock. The weather was, however, drizzly and hazy ; and though the prospect, as we neared either shore, was occasionally rich and beautiful, it would be doing injustice to the Shannon to endeavour to describe it under such a disadvantage, and I shall refrain from parti cularising until I come to notice my subsequent trips be tween Limerick and Kilrush. Suffice it to say, that, after our stormy sea-voyage, the occasional views of the varied landscape, variegated by gentlemen's seats, castellated ruins, towers, hamlets, and cottages, on each side of the river, which now widened into a lake studded with islands, and contracted to a narrow strait, were altogether refreshing and delightful. We had on the previous evening observed that the shores of the estuary below Kilrush, though producing pasturage for sheep, were almost destitute of trees, the saline prevail ing winds from the westward being injurious to their growth. Now the verdure continued to increase, and the woods to thicken, as we advanced into the interior, until all the proximate lands, backed by undulated acclivities or swelling mountains, assurred a charming appearance of rural warmth and fertility. The sombre aspect of the ruined towers, castles, and religious houses, that had once rung with the clash of arms or the shout of revelry, or given echo to the song of the devotee,—peering on the tops of hills, or reposing on wooded sites on the low grounds,—peculiarly attracts the attention of the contemplative stranger who first visits this interesting locality, and calls forth reminiscences of the feuds and forays of the olden time, in which there is an indescribable admixture of the pleasurable and the melan choly. " The Knight of Glyn," as we passed his castle, saluted us by firing a gun from his battery ou the lawn. We had two fine cannons on deck, and strove to return the compli ment, but found, to our sore disappointment, that we had been unable, during the gale, to " keep our powder dry." We, however, " lived to fire another day." As we pro ceeded the weather slightly improved, and Begle Castle, Bun ratty Castle, and Carrig-o-gunniel Castle became successively objects of interest. Further on we passed Cooper's Hill and Trevce, two fine seats, and soon afterwards obtained a pleas ing view of Limerick—its quays and warehouses, the shipping and Wellesley Bridge—the lofty tower of the Cathedral, and the buildings around it on King's Island, beinc , conspicuous in the back ground. The impression conveyed by this view is not, however, commensurate with the size and importance of the town, comparatively little of which is embraced, from its being, for the most part, built on a nearly level site, but little elevated above the level of the river. A number of handsome seats line the shores on each side the stream below the town, and the freshness of the verdure of the woods, lawns, and parterres that surround them, indi cate a purity of atmosphere rarely found in the immediate proximity of large towns, and impart a pleasing appearance of the rus in urbe. After threading our way through several vessels, anchored in the here spacious river, a few moments steaming brought us alongside of the steam company's wharf, near the southern termination of the line of quays. We ar rived a few minutes past eight o'clock, having performed the run from Tarbert (a distance of about 32 English miles) in two hours and forty-one minutes. The pier was crowded with spectators of all classes, who gave us joyous greeting, strong apprehensions for our safety having been entertained both here and at Kilrush • the gales we had experienced have been severely felt in the west of Ireland, and particularly on the coasts of Kerry and Clare. A vast number of visiters came on board during the day, including many ladies, and all were struck with the fine ap pearance of the vessel, albeit, her upper works were consi derably damaged and sea-beaten. So large and fine a steamer had not before been seen on the Shannon, and her spacious decks and elegant accommodations, became a matter of no little wonderment and admiration. On landing, for the first time since we left Liverpool, we observed the effects of the storm on the outward appearance of the ship ; her figure. head, representing Erin, was minus a portion of the helmet, and part of her head rails were carried away. The bulwarks and paddle-houses were also stripped of some of their board ing, and she presented on the whole, the appearance of a craft that had been roughly treated by the faithless sea, though her hull was sound and uninjured. Some repairs were con sequently necessary, and no inconsiderable application of the paint brush, so that she might make her debut on her des tined waters all trim and tight; and as these operations oc cupied a week, 1 had an opportunity, before accompanying her on her first trip, of rambling through the town and out skirts, and of enjoying an excursion down the Shannon by the Garry Owen, her sister ship, as well as of partaking, with Captain and Mrs. Christie of the frequent hospitality and kindness of Captain Kennedy, and his amiable lady and family. It was quite amusing to overhear William, the steward, who had assumed his accustomed sprightliness, and was well known to many of the visiters, recounting the "hair breath" stapes we had had by flood and wind, to anxious en quirers. He seasoned his narrative so strong with a spice of the marvellous, that but for his true Milesian dialect one might have taken him for a native of Yankee land.—" Sir," said he, to one, "do you see that foremast ?" " Sure I do," was the reply. "Do you see half way up it ?" " I do, William." " Then bad luck to me, sir, if a big thundering say did'nt many a time come clane over us as high as that fore and aft, and we were all drowned and kilt entirely !" After a hearty breakfast on board, our first impulse was, of course, to write to our friends on the other side of the channel, a short intimation of our arrival after our boistrous passage, leaving any anxiety they might have entertained respecting us, to be dissipated by the reflexion that " All's well that ends well." The weather was exceeding fine, and the air temperate and calm for the season, during the greater part of my stay in the city. I frequently met my shipmates at the house of Captain Kennedy, who, indeed, throughout loaded us with "the most hospitable attention. We immediately found that the pursuits of the naturalist had long occupied his leisure hours,—his neat and well-furnished domicile, replete with every comfort, partaking largely of the appearance of a museum. Handsome models of vessels, fully rigged and equipped, pictures, fossils, and articles of virtu, home and foreign, were arranged on the walls and tables of the larger room, and amongst other curiosities we noticed a slab of Irish marble, a vein through which, by some accidental freak of nature, which the superstitious might readily mistake for the handiwork of " the good people,' or fairies, to whom tradition has assigned many a favourite and enchanted haunt in the neighbourhood,—presented a delineation of the stream of the Shannon for miles below the town, which would have done honour to an hydrographer of the last century ! A front room below, too, was converted into an aviary, with a large branching holly-tree in the centre, serving as a perch for a numerous and somewhat noisy collection of canaries, larks, linnets, and other small Britsh singing birds, who have the full range of the apartment, and fly about, singing and chirping with as much apparent happiness and good fellow ship as if the were at large in their native woodlands. Two fine parrots meantime kept up a friendly chat, in their way, in the adjoining parlour, and were only removed when, like learned doctors in disputation, they disagreed, and began to high words, and threatened to drown all conversation but their own, a monopoly to which even Sir R. Peel, whatever his opinion of the corn and sugar questions, would give no toleration. I may add that every part of our friend's house was appropriated to some purpose of utility or ornament. The windows were shaded with flowers, and even under the arch, supporting the steps from the street to the door, we observed, some feet under the level of the ground, a shrub bery of evergreens and decorative plants, that flourish in the shade. SKETCHES OF THE RIVER SHANNON, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF A TRIP BY STEAM FROM LIVERPOOL TO LIMERICK. BY A STRANGER IN IRELAND. FOR THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,) No. II AN IRISH WELCOME HOME On the evening of the day of our arrival, while a party of us were seated after dinner, enjoying ourselves at the hospi table board of the worthy commander of the Erin, we wit nessed one of those popular demonstrations in behalf of a respected object which are rarely to be met with in any country but Ireland, where the feelings of the people, always enthusiastic, acknowledge no cold and apathetic medium. All at once, and without any previous warning or intimation of what was coming, loud and increasing shouts, as of a party in the heat of a contested election, were heard ap proaching, and in a few moments, an immense crowd of men, women, and childen, headed by several men carrying a burn ing tarrel, the smoke of which spread in every direction, filled the street, and took up their station opposite the house, many of the men were armed with stout shilelahs, or pieces of wood. A circle was formed round the " beacon light," the flames of which now ascended to a considerable height, and shouts were sent up from new and old, with vehement expressions so commingled as to defy even a professor of " the unknown tongues" to define their import,—while fiddles, bagpipes, and horns were simultaneously put into requisition,—the whole forming (to the eye and ear of a stranger) an assemblage of so questionable and threatening a nature, that bad an initiated English policeman beheld it, lie would probably, in the first impulse, have knocked his stick on the flags for assistance, to quell the gathering riot, and sprung his rattle for the fire engines, in appre hension of a destructive conflagration ! The ladies who had been delighting us with their gentle presence, retired to an upper room, as some of us at first supposed, in alarm. A few moments' observation, however, of the animated and cheerful visages of those without, convinced us that they came with no hostile intent, but that, on the contrary the purpose of their uproarious visit was to give mille fealtas, or ' a thousand welcomes" home to our highly-esteemed ann respected host, after the perils of his voyage. They had left two blazing tar barrels on the quay, opposite the ship, when " the procession" started, byway, (if I may so use the ex pression,) of a feu-de-joie. Anon, the shouts were partly suspended, and three or four fiddlers, with a mixture of bag pipes and bugle horns, of each about an equal number—to make up the harmonic recipe—struck up a medley of reels, aad gigs, and d,.ncers, male and female, amongst whom se veral stout young sailors, and others in blue jackets and Scotch bonnets, and pretty Limerick lasses, neatly attired, and with caps and shawls, were the most active. They footed it with considerable grace and agility, particularly the girls. The jolly good nature depicted in the swarthy coun tenances of the men, and the not less joyous, but more bashful smiles of the females, together with the occasional Irish shrug and kick up of the heels of the former, at the end of each reel, by way of emphatic finale. was quite ex hilirating. The natural anxiety of young and old, who were spectators, to see the dancers, (when they stood ready to re lieve) gradually constructed the ground of action ; and the dresses of the figurantes were frequently in danger of being ignited by the flames that now burst out from the lower part of the barrel, that served at once as the ball-room fire and the chandelier. This inconvenience was, however, re medied from time to time, by those with sticks, and more particularly by a man with a broad Milesian counte nance, the very picture of hilarity and good humour ; who seizing a broken oar that had been employed in bearing the tar barrel. to its i 411101., whirled it about with the velocity of the wings of a windmill let loose in a gale, and without inflicting a blow that we could see, causing a general fall back, so that the reelers had again "ample room and verge enough." The rout was kept up with great spirit and perseverance until some time after dark, when the exhaustion of the conbustibles, as well as of the dancers, gave intimation that it was time to retire. My first impression was, that a portion at least of the enthusiasm displayed was inspired by potations of the ardent beverage of the country ; but in this I was undeceived. There were few redeeming among them who were not disciples of " Father Mathew," sum for . who had visited this part of the country, and succeeded in vast numbers of the population to total abstinence. w who were still addicted to strong drinks made no de allowance, and were quite contented with a small envied the man whose in to drink the health of our worthy entertainer. I had never before witnessed an Irish welcome ; and (I confess) I tained e f s ort kind, upright, and manly conduct, during a long RICK years, while he has navigated the countrymen (indepeudeinra a reception amongst won from others) of vthichY LIMERICK, a E liero might be proud.his humbler of the golden opinions he has which may be styled, the western o r f riejr u :p s oli a s un o u f n l , r a e b la o n u d t , 7 l situated on the south-east bank English miles from the sea; and as it is in the route from Dublin to Killarney, a brief notice of its principal featur e may be acceptable to tourists who may choose to peruse these hasty sketches. The city is of great antiquity , having long been the capital of the kings of Limerick, the last of whom, Donnell O'Brien, died in 1194. It then fell into the hands of the English, and though again taken from them in 1198, it was shortly after recovered, and after some vicissitudes finally fortified by King John, who erected the pile, still known, though in ruins, as " King John's Castle," otherwise " Limerick Castle." The town, like others in Ireland of any considerable magnitude, is divided into " English Town" and " Irish Town ;" and there are also two suburban divi sions of more modern date, known as Newtown Pery and Garry Owen. The English Town, (which contains the most amount of the public buildings,) stands on the south portion of the " King's Island," which is formed by a division of the Shannon into two branches, half a mile above the town, and the re-union of those branches below, the smaller of which on the east is called Salmon Wear River, or by some Abbey River. There is also a rural suburb of considerable extent and population on the Clare side of the Shannon. The Irish town is for the most part of modern structure, and contains many handsome streets, together with several new squares, crescents, and public buildings ; and the principal thorough fares present an air of liveliness, wealth, and prosperity, which forms a striking contrast with the more ancient por tions of the city which is confined, dingy, and dirty,—the abodes generally of poverty and wretchedness. Like most large Irish places, Limerick exhibits to a considerable extent the extremes of splendour and destitution, yet it is rapidly progressing in improvement; and were the navigation of the Shannon facilitated to a degree commensurate with its capa bilities, it would soon become one of the finest and most thriving cities in the kingdom. George's-street, (continuous with Patrick-street,) in the Irish Town, and the streets running parallel to, and at right angles with it, from the quays eastward, are inferior to few of the best of those in our English towns. The houses are of commanding elevation, of neat brick• work or stone ; and the shops, inns, newsrooms, &c., are all well supplied, large and elegant. The town has been much benefitted by the enterprise of the Limerick merchants and manufacturers ; the former engaged chiefly in the corn and provision trade with London ; the latter celebrated for a superior and beau tiful manufacture of lace. Another staple is fishing hooks, considered the best in the world, both in form and temper. At the extensive curing establishment of Mr. Russel, there are annually salted about 50,000 pigs, and 2000 head of cattle. There are three great manufacturies, who give employment to 1700 females. The town until of late was also celebrated for its manufacture of gloves, of so fine a quality of leather and workmanship that a pair could frequently be packed in a walnut shell ; but this branch of industry has wofully de clined, and the trade has been principally taken up in Cork. Nevertheless, the trade in corn, and provisions generally, and the manufactures noticed, as well as others of minor ac count, give employment to thousands, and have tended in a gratifying degree to promote indistrious and domestic habits amongst the poorer classes. PUBLIC BUILDINGS The most remarkable of the ancient edifices, in the eyes of strangers, is " King John's Castle," (before adverted to) close to the eastern entrance of Thomond Bridge. The old bridge has recently given way to a new one, a fine lime-stone structure, of more modern style than its "predecessor. It consists of five fine arches. The Castle, built by King John, in 1210, is now a venerable ruin, little more remaining than portions of the outward walls, and three dilapidated round towers. By ascending, by means of a crazy ladder, and afterwards scrambling up broken portions of the walls, which are overgrown with tufts of slippery grass and weeds, I reached the summit of the highest tower, whence the Shannon and the Clare mountains, including Cratloe woods, present a de lightful and extensive landscape. The tower appears to be from 20 to 24 feet in diameter, and the walls at the top 3 paces in thickness. Our forefathers liked to do things sub stantially, but neglect, and the merciless hand of time, has defied even their strong efforts at perpetuation. I was afterwards politely show . n by the Barrack-master (for there is a barrack within the walls) to the top of a lower tower, the base of which is washed by the river. The upper floor or platform of this tower is still perfect, being flagged and supported by stone arch-work below, in the form of au inverted bowl. It is railed round and covered with grass and flowers, saving with a few posts, and a rude railing round it, for the drying of clothes. The roar of waters of the Shannon through the bridge, and over a mill dam near it, here falls upon the ear with a refreshing, but melancholy sound, and preposesses the spectator's mind for a calmer contemplation of the objects of interest around him. The cathedral near by, is a heavy gothic structure, rather disfigured by irregularly-sized lateral windows. The square tower is of great height, and terminates in four square tur rets—one at each corner. The visitor who ascends it obtains the highest elevation the city affords ; and the view for many miles round is proportionably extensive and magnificent,— embracing the whole of the great plain on the margin of which stands the city, windings far and near of the mighty Shannon, and its verdant and finely wooded banks. Further northward is St. Munchin's Church, a handsome gothic edifice, recently rebuilt, with a tower. Seen from the river below, rising over the adjacent buildings, this is a pro minent and pleasing object. Wellesley Bridge, below Thomond Bridge, is the finest of ;the kind belonging to the city. It is an elegant specimen of bridge architecture, of fine-hewn lime-stone, with five de pressed or segmantal arches of great span, surmounted by a handsome balustrade. The County Court-house is a neat, modern, stone building, on Merchants'-quay, with a colonnade of lonic columns in front ; near it is the City Gaol. In the Irish Town there are several fine, modern buildings. In the centre of the New Square, which is well laid out as a pleasure-ground, is a handsome, Doric, fluted column, sur mounted by a statue. This was erected by the citizens as a testimonial of gratitude and respect to the Right Hon. T. Spring Rice, Esq., (now Lord Monteagle,) for his services to the town. The noble lord has since, however, fallen, some how or other, into bad odour with the inhabitants ge nerally, and the monument is not regarded with any high feelings of respect. In the environs, on the Cork Road, are the County Hos pital and the District Lunatic Asylum, both noble and ex tensive institutions, well worthy of inspection. Here too, is the County Gaol built in the usual form, the buildings ra diating from the keeper's house, with a view to a better sur veillance. Barringtons' Hospital, or City Infirmary, erected and founded by Sir Joseph Barrington and his three sons, in 1829, for the relief of the poor of their native city, is also a fine institution ; but, though it is the only city infirmary, it is inadequately supported. The Mont-de-Pi6t6, or Charitable Pawn-office, is one of the most interesting institutions in the city. It was erected under the auspices of Matthew Barrington, Esq., one of the builders of the hospital just noticed, and with the double view of better maintaining that establishment, and benefit ting the needy. This handsome building is of stone, with a collonade in front, and a circular centre-piece with windows round it, and surmounted by a cupola. In common with similarly-named establishments in France, its principal ob ject is to relieve the temporary wants of the poor by advanc ing money on pledges, at a lower rate than is charged by the pawnbrokers ; the profits, after paying the interest of the capital and expenses, to be devoted to the use of the persons from whom they are derived. No charge is here made for tickets, and this, together with the reduction of the interest, effects our immense savings annually to the necessitous of the city. In the item of tickets alone the sum of £2431 was saved in four years! The immediate destination of the pro fits of this particular establishment is the support of Bar rington's Hospital, and its funds are in a flourishing condi tion. From the example here furnished by the philanthropic Barrington, similar institutions have been established in many of the larger towns in Ireland, and others are in con templation..

SKERRIES LIGHTHOUSE SHERIFF ' S COURT, BEAUMARIS-IMPORTANT ADJUDI- CATION A precept having been issued to the high sheriff of An glesey, Richard Trygarn Griffith, Esq., a court of inquiry was opened at the Shirehall, Beaumaris, on the morning of Monday week, the 26th inst., before the said sheriff, and Mr. Earle, barrister, as assessor, in order to adjudicate be tween the owners of the Skerries Rock and Lighthouse, and the Trinity Board, by deciding what sum of money would be a fair and equitable remuneration for the compulsory sale and transfer of the said lighthouse and its tolls, pursuant to a recent act of the legislature, authorising and empowering the board to purchase and take into its own keeping and government the various lighthouses on the shores of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The inquiry was one of considerable importance, involving property to the amount of several hundred thousand pounds. For the claimants (the owners of the lighthouse as de scendants and residuary legatees of the late Morgan Jones, Esq.), the Attorney-General Sir Thomas Wylde, Mr. Fitz roy Kelly, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Vaughan Williams, were retained as counsel; and for the Trinity Board appeared Sir Frederick Pollock, Sir William Follett, Mr. Cresswell, and Mr. Frederick Roby. . . _ _ The precept having been read, and a special jury sworn, The Attorney-General addressed the jury at great length on behalf of the owners, and produced witnesses to show that the property had been steadi:y increasing in value from 1828, in which year the income derived from the tolls was £ll,BlO, to 1840, when the net income was £20,226 lls. 5d., and contended that such a property was entitled to be esti mated at thirty years' purchase, at the net income of last year. Sir Frederick Pollock, on behalf of the Trinity Board, proved that, some years since the erection of the lighthouse, there had been a falling-off in the income, in consequence of a non intercourse between this country and Berlin,and argued that, as the pathway of commerce was not so fixed and permanent as to create a sure dependency on the perpetuity of this source of income, twenty years pur chase would be an ample remuneration, taking the average income of a large number of years. The learned assessor briefly put the case before the jury, who, in less than an hour, returned a verdict for the claimants—value £444,084 I ls. 2d., being the amount of the last year's income, £20,226 lls. sd. at twenty-two years' purchase. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER. — Some excitement was created in this town on Monday morning, by the announcement of the failure of the long-established and well-known house of Messrs. Saml. Stocks and Son, manufacturers and merchants, of Heaton Mersey, and of this town ; against whom, we believe, a fiat in bankruptcy has been issued. Messrs. Stocks and Son were, a few years ago, cotton spinners as well as manufac turers; but their spinning mill having been destroyed by fire, they had ceased to spin, and purchased yarns for the supply of their looms. They were also extensive purchasers of manufactured goods for export. We understand that the amount of their engagements is something under £BO,OOO. The necessary effect of this failure was to throw a very seri ous damp upon the market yesterday ; and its effect was in creased by the unpromising appearance of the weather, w hi c h, after two tolerably fine days, showed manifest symp toms of deterioration. Under these circumstances, it was not surprising that the market should be, as in fact it was, one of the worst, if not the very worst, of the present year. For manufactured goods. indeed, there was literally no demand ; and the few sales made were at a serious reduction of prices. For yarn, the market was not quite so unfavourable ; and some business was done, though with difficulty, and at gra dually declining prices. We are glad to state, however, that with the exception of two small concerns at Blackburn, no additional failures were announced ; and a mischievous ru mour of that nature , which was circul ated through the town in the morning , :w as ascertained to be e ntirely unfounded.. Td market There —Guardian. Roc to-day has been quite equal has been a brisk demand for flannels, and many have been sold at rather better pric es. Besides the merchants, there D ALE FL,t Nllrrijal AM to MARKET, , f have been several of the lar g e manufacturer s to-day in the bought rather largely. Th e stocks on market, who have bo hand have been considerably diminished the last month ; but July, August, and September, are generally the best months ' ' Black water market. Wool still m a i nta i ns in the year for the s • its price, but the manufacturers have bought very sparingly. HUD DER S FI ELD, AUG. 3.—The demand for middle and low-priced woollens, both plain and fancy, was tolerably brisk to-day ; prices however have not improved. I n super tines there was little done. In lig ht fancies there was less complaint. Wools are firm. Business in the warehouses has not undergone any material change. The American ladies are all of royal blood; for the people are the sovereign, and they are the daughters of the people. The arrivals into this port from Ireland, between Tuesday last and to-day, have been wholly insignificant, and excepting 2495 barrels of Flour from Glasgow, we have scarcely any thing to notice coastwise.—From the continental ports of Europe the supplies are also trivial ; and from the American States or Canada we have no Grain or Flour fresh in fOr to-day. During the above period considerable excitement pre vailed in the trade for bonded Flour, which was sought after with unusual eagerness, prime States' brands readily com manding 30s. on Wednesday ; and yesterday, in consequence of the animated account from Mark-lane, that description was taken off with still greater avidity at 30s. to 315., and even 325. per barrel : stale parcels at the same time realized 285., and the transactions altogether amounted to about 35,000 barrels, thereby establishing an advance of 2s. to 3s. upon our previous quotations.—Of Wheat, also under lock, several cargoes changed hands, good Baltic red attaining Bs. 4d. to 9s. per 701b5., and other kinds of Foreign a pro portionate improvement. These extensive operations appeared to exclude anything beyond a very moderate attention to other articles of the trade, and the business done in free produce was therefore unimportant. Excepting a few showers early on Tuesday, and heavy rain for several hours at night, the weather here since the close of last week has been fair, and during the last two days very favourable ; last evening, however, the weather again became wet, and, although we have a drying wind to-day, it appears unsettled. The duties for the ensuingl week are reduced on foreign Wheat to 21s. Bd., on Burley to 13s. 10d., on Beans to lls., on Pease to 6s. 6d. per quarter, and on Flour to 13s. Old. per barrel ; those on other produce remaining unaltered. At our Market this morning the demand for bonded Flour seemed to open briskly, and in a few instances 33s and 34s per barrel were paid, but the buyers being deterred from pro ceeding at these high prices, and the day clearing up fine, the sales on the whole were limited, and at the close 33s was scarcely obtainable. Bonded Wheat, notwithstanding, con tinued to meet a lively sale, and many cargos were taken with a view to low duties, at an amendment upon Tuesday's currency of 3d to Gd for general runs, and 6d to 10d per lbs for the best descriptions. Free foreign Wheats were in moderate request at an ad vance of 2d. to 4d., and fine English white brought 12s. per 7011os. English and Irish Flour obtained 2s. per sack, and foreign, duty paid, 2s. per barrel above the rates previously quoted. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas'were held firmly on rather higher terms, but were not readily saleable at any material improvement in value. Oats, upon a very limited supply, were 2d. per 451bs. dearer; and Oatmeal, of which considerable speculative pur chases were made, commanded is. to s. 6d. per 240 lbs. over former prices ARRIVALS OF CORN, From.the 3d to the sth August, IS4I, inclusive DESCRIPTION.

James Scott 6- Son Since Tuesday last the iiiiports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, have been very moderate from Ireland and Coastways, but they con tinue to a fair extent from foreign ports. The weather during the past week has been stormy and unset tled, with rain in the nights, and unseasonably cold ; exciting some alarm for the fate of the crops, and giving a prospect of a late and precarious harvest ;—we have in consequence experienced a pretty steady demand for Wheat and Flour, free and in bond, at a further increase in prices of 2d to 3d per 70 lb on the former, and of Is per barrel and per sack on the latter, and many parcels have been with drawn for the present sale; every other article in the Corn Trade has participated a little in this improvement in demand and prices. The duty., on Wheat froin Foreign Ports has declined is per quarter, on Flour 74d per barrel, and on Rye and Peas is 6d per quarter on Friday last ; and on Peas from British Colonies it has declided to Gd per quarter ; there seems no doubt that in two or 3 weeks the duty on Wheat and Flour from Canada., and from all other British Colonies, will be at the lowest rates, (tid per quarter, and 4d per barrel;) and many very confidently , anticipate an almost similar reduction in the duties on Grain from foreign ports in Semptember, which has caused very considerable parcels in bond and on the passage to have recently changed hands. In our circular of the 22d July, 1828, giving a brief of the Corn Laws then passed, we made a remark which has often been veri fied since—that by the practical working of the averages, the prices of good English Wheat here would be 105 od to Ils per 70 lb, or 74s to 77s per quarter for several weeks before Foreign Wheat or Flour could be admitted for home use at any reasonable duty; our prices for Such are now lOs gd to 11s 4d per 70 lb, and the duty 22s Sd per quarter I—virtually prohibitory ! with about 600,000 quarters of Wheat in bond in the United Kingdom thus withheld from home consumption. By an estimate of the stocks of Grain now here free for home use, made it is believed pretty accurately,—there are 28,000 qrs. of Wheat and about 18,300 barrels of Flour, (exclusive of Canadian in bond) about 9800 quarters of Oats, about 28,000 loads of Oatmeal, and about 5000 quarters of Beans; a very small stock ! even if a little underrated to stand against a late and dubious harvest ! In bond here we have about 98,000 quarters of Foreign and -6000 qrs. Canadian Wheat; about 140,000 barrels of Foreign and about 28,000 barrels of Canadian Flour; 11,000 qrs. of Oats ; about 8000 qrs. of Peas ; and about 30,000 qrs. of Beans, chiefly Egyptian. At this day's market sales to a moderate extent were made of every article in the Corn trade at the advance above noted, and quoted as correctly as possible in our prices current below ; the the temperature is becoming much warmer and seasonable: WHEAT, s. d. s. d.

ASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT.—The following is a copy of Lord John Russell's circular to the liberal members of parliament, which puts an end to rumours of all previous resignation by ministers : " Downing-street, July 31, 1841. " Sir—As upon the meeting of parliament, on Thursday, the 19th of August, the House of Commons will immediately proceed to the choice of a speaker, and to the consideration of business of the highest importance, I take the liberty of earnestly requesting your attendance on that day.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient, faithful servant, " JOLIN RUSSELL." The result of careful inquiry as to the probable condition of the ensuing harvest is most satisfactory. In those parts of the country where the crop was reported to have been thin, the fulness of the kerning has been such as not only to dissipate all apprehension as to quantity, but also affords the most rejoicing promise in respect of its quality. Every de scription of corn presents the like gratifying appearance. Potatoes, from the fast rains we have had, will necessarily be a heavy produce. Mangelwurzel will be a prodigious crop. Apples will be about half an average bearing. The late showery weather has impeded the completion of hay harvest, but very little of the crop has as yet been damaged. —Somersetshire paper. THE WEATHER.----Up to the commencement of the pre sent week, very little hay-grass has been cut, owing to the long-continued wet weather, in the wes tern and north western parts of this riding; ' but since then the harvest has gone on briskly and successfully ; the quantity abundant ; the quality excellent. In some places the grain crops, par ticularly wheat, were extensively laid by the rain ; the sun and the breeze of the present week, however, have done much towards restoring them. Barley is very fine ; so are beans, potatoes, turnips, &c. There is. i ndeed, a rich pro mise of abundance of all kinds.—Leeds Intelligencer. • The Carlow Sentinel of Saturday, after describing a newly invented pike, which are openly exhibited without attracting notice, and thousands of which are in progress of manufac ture, says,—" At the late borough election, about three hun dred men on footand on horseback mar ched through Carlow, bearing these poles with concealed pikes, preceded by a cha pel band .1 .1 We are not called upon to express any opinion at present on this discovery, beyond the fact that Mr. O'Con nell was aware of the contemplated insurrection on the 12th July, and sent an express to Col. Jackson to check the pro gress of the pikemen, being apprehensive that if they came into collision with the military, his own life might pay the forfeit. The pike we have seen was employed by one of a party of insurgents from Kilkenny, which was commanded by a priest." THE PLEASURES OF PATRONAGE.—A member of Mr. Maule's Committee, residing within a few miles of Perth, complained the other day to the right honourable gentleman that his prominent connexion with his cause subjected him to a very annoying inconvenience. His house was beset hourly by persons claiming his influence with Mr. Maule, and asking him to sign recommendations to his notice and applications for situations in the penitentiary or the - excise. There were many of these promised (luring the late canvass; but still the recommendations by influential members of the election committee are considered of much importance. The gentleman alluded to, in his perplexity, asked Mr. Manle seriously what he should do? Mr. Maule replied—" M y dear sir, I'll tell you what to do, and you will find it quite easy ; say little and sign them all.—Perth Constitutional.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AuG. 3 The overland mail from India is not of a satisfactory na ture, and though we could not be worse than we have been for some time past, yet it has added to the stagnation ; we have had scarcely any demand for Cotton to-day, and the sales do not exceed, even if the reach 1,000 bales, at yester day's prices. COTTON MARKET, AuGurr 4 The demand in our Cotton market continues much the same as for some time past, consumers merely purchasing for their imme diate wants. The amount of business to-day is estimated at 2500 bales of all descriptions, at prices somewhat easier than those of Friday last. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 5. In ordinary times our Cotton market is never stationary, either advancing or retrograding, but holders merely supply the demand. and do not press their stocks. This circnmstance alone keeps us steady with the light demand experienced fox some time past, and the business this week is likely to be less than for some time past, yet prices do not go down, and the better descriptions of Cotton fuily maintain their position; the sales to day are estimated at 2500 bales. SALFORD CATTL E MAKKET, AUG. 4 There was again only a small show of beasts atmarket, and being scarcely equal to the demand, prices were fully as high, especially for best Beef.
