Some of their advantages are — I.—Economy in Price ; to the extent of from 25 to 40 per cent. ll.—Economy in Time and Labour :—only the one hun dredth part of the weights is required to be lifted; one-half of the time occopied in weighing is entirely saved. 111,—Economy in Space ;—they have only one Platform or Scale • no fixtures are required for suspension ; no room is oc cupied by weights. IV.—Econniny in Annual Expense ;—they require less pe riodical adjustment ; the centres are detached from their bearings, and of course exempt from wear, except at the mo ment of ascertaining the weight. As a Weigh-bridge for weighing Wagons on common roads, and for Trucks or Wagons on Railways, this Machine is pe• culiarly . adapted. It may be fixed, if required, in a pit only fifteen inches deep; it occupies•only half the usual space in the office; it is more exact in its indications than any of the old kinds of Weigh-bridges. The celebrity of FAIRBANKS' MACHINES, • POOLEY'S MANUFACTURE, _ has induced many hati ng a professed and specious resemblance, at a low price.

GREAJI' 'FIRE IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ; ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS. TN the last great Fire in -George-street, Manchester, nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes, Closets Asia' Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes, &c. tte. tic. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great number of parties have suffered , the same calamity. The only Safe which brought its contents-uninjured out of the burning mass being the one alluded to-bAow. " Mratehester, August 13th, 1817 . " GENTLEMEEN,—In the late ,Fire in Market-street, which entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which my Ware house formed part, I have Sincere pleasure in informing you that my books, together with a -quantity of valuable papers, watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire resisting Safes, which I strongly,rec.ommend to the public. " I am your obedient-servant, "THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant, " New Browu-street and Market-street. " 2lfessrs. Milner and Son." The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents inside unsinged, being steamed (Wiled instead of burned) by the evaporating principle of •the Safe. Near to it a large Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) , cliambeved Safe, full of valuable 'Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain nothing but tinder and-ashes:after it ! In the numerous accidental Files and experimental tests which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every description of Safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been bumf. out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the scientific and practical authorities who here tested them, anti the Patentees' during seven years active working of th e i r patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have -spared no pains nor cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge themselves at all times to supply the most compiete and secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ; in cluding, the strongest Wrough t-iron Safes, Closets , and Doors in the World. lined with theirimeouolied Fire-resisting Ch ain _ hers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of .their Sates in use amongst the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain— the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas Milner and Son select the following as instances, vu which they are of opinion that no other Sete than their own would have preserved its contents unburnt.

ORW/N OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII. — Upwards of ixty years ago, (or, in 1787-89), when Arthur Young was ravelling in France, he met with a Monsieur Lomond, " a very ingenious and inventing mechanic," who h a d :jade a remarkable discovery in electricity. " You write 'wo or three words on a paper," says Young : " he takes it Nith ICm into a room, and turns a machine enclosed in a 7ylindrieal case, at the top of which is an electrometer, a small, fine, pith bail ; a wire connects with a similar cy !hider and electrometer in a distant apartment ; and his rife by remarking the corresponding motions of the ball, vrites down the words they indicate; from which it ap dears he has formed an alphabet of motions. A s t h e icegth of the wire makes no difference in the effect, a eor ,espondenee might be carried on at any distance. What -ver the use may be, the invention is beautiful." Thi s liscovery; however, lay unnoticed until about three years . since; though the apparatus was designed to effect the same end as the electric telegraph, by means very similar. ---The Lon,dpn Teleffroph.

[BY THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] At a quarter-past one thin afternoon, the Parliamentary Committee gave their decision in the case of the Birken head Dock Completion Bill. The Chairman, after the parties had been out nearly an hour, announced that the preamble of the bill, empower ing the Woods and Forests to advance £150,000 to com plete the dock works at Birkenhead, had not been proved. The promoters then prayed for a few days adjournment, to consider what course they should take with the other bills. The application was granted. AIMIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA FROM AMERICA. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Britannia, Captain J. C. Lang, arrived here this afternoon at two o'clock, with ad vices from New York to the 16th instant, Boston to the 17th, and Halifax to the 19th instant. She has brought £3,600 specie and 43 passengers. The political advices are not important. General Scott embarked from Vera Cruz on the 30th April for New York and great preparations were making in the latter town to give him an enthusiastic reception. Upwards of three hundred builiings had been destroyed by the great fire at Detroit, and the loss is estimated at above two hundred thousand dollars. Afire broke out at Albany on the 15th instant, and da mage estimated at thirty thousand dollars was done. The Indians .n Yucatan still continue their depreda tions. They have destroyed the town of Valcalla by burning it to the ground. Five hundred of its defenders had retired into forts, while the women and children were taking care of themselves as best they could, and were flying in all directions without money or food. Even the inhabitants of Balize were threatened with an attack, and were preparing to meet it. On the 13th April there was an action between about 300 Indians of Ehi's division and the Yucatecos. The latter were successful. Intelligence from England by the Cambria steam-ship was received in New York on the 14th instant. It had rather a favourable influence on the markets. Prices for cotton had stiffened, and there was more inquiry for ship ment; for the better grades prices were very firm, while for the poorer there was less demand, and lower prices were accepted. Stocks were a little better. There was but a limited demand for sterling exchanges. Bills on London are quoted at 101 to 11 per cent premium Continental bills were a complete drug. The markets for Flour opened heavy on the 15th, and at a decline. Common State at 1t6.121, and pure Genessee $6.371. Corn meal ruled steady.,. with moderate- sales. Wheat was dull, and nominal. Corn was more firm. Pork was dull and scarce, holders of which were firm. ATTEMPTED DigURIIANCE BY TIM IRISH IN ',OMAN. On the arrival in London of the inteiligence of Mitchel's conviction, various clubs of Irish assembled, partly armed with muskets and pikes, in Clerkenweil green, where they were harangued byy-a Mr. Williams, with other speakers, by whom they were requested to fetilow him four abreast where lie would lead them. The procession moved through the city to Finsbury-Fquare, where the word was given "to the west." They then proceeded by Leicester-square to Trafalgar-square, increasing in numbers as they went along., and encouraged by exhortations to "be . firm," "the -time has now arrived," &c. Here, however, they were stopped b.y a strong body of police, when they were addressed by the leaders, who said that they had been disappointed in their expectations, and advised them to disperse, and meet again on Wednesday evening. CHARGE OF MUTINY AND PIRACY AGAINST SIX 07 THE CREW OF A VESSEL TRADING TO AFRICA. At the Police-court yesterday, a good deal of interest and curiosity was excited by the coming on of a case in which -six seamen who had formed the greater part of the crew of the barque " Cora," on a recent voyage to the coast of Africa from this port, stood charged by the own-. ers of the vessel, Messrs. Harrison and Co., with certain hets of mutiny and piracy. The prisoners names were James Farrell, (mate), John Rigby, Thomas Coults, Jas. 'Baine, Robert Goodchild, and Antonio Baranieo, (or Ba vazico)—seamen, coopers, and carpenter of the ship. Mr. Rogerson, solicitor, opened -the case for the owners, and stated that the prisoners were charged with running away with the Cora, and breaking into the cargo. Two of the prisoners (coopers) were defended by Mr. Yates, and the mate by Mr. Snowball. ' • The principal witness called for the complainants was -Mr. Blundell, the surgeon of the vessel. He said the Cora left Liverpool for Benin on the 19th of August, 1847, and arrived out on the 29th September, Captain Gillespie was in command of the ship.out, but died on -board after his arrival. 'Witness left the vessel for three weeks, but accompanied the agent, Mr. Henry, to Fenian dezpo, and was absent three weeks. He seas on board of `her again on the 10th of November, and Mx. Henry, who was also there, said before him and others. " I leave the vessel in charge of the mate, Mr. Farrell, .(one of the prisoners,) and Captain Dawson will enme,on board to morrow and take her oeer the bar." When Mr. Henry left Farrell, he said that Captain Gillespie had told him - before his death that he had been poisoned by Captain Dawson. The mate then said he would go in scorch of a man-of-war in order to &btain a redress of grievances. Henry told Henry Jones, oneof thecrew, that if Farrell did not go up the river with the ship, and take charge of the Maria Louisa (a tender used by the agents) he would tie him. The Cora went, to sea on the 9th, in the evening. 'Wit ness remonstrated with the mate for doing so—alluding to the insurance ; but the mate said that he had looked into the insurance, and that he (witness) had better not interfere, as there were parties on beard who would do him injury if he did,. The ship did not proceed far. Next morning, Captain - Dawson came within hail in a boat to take the vessel over the bar, but the mate told the croo-boys to tell him to keep away. Dawson did not get on board, and they went to sea. Dawson went back, and returned in a cutter, and fired 9 guns. The barque also fired, but as witness heard, to leeward. On the morning of the 12th, the Maria Louisa schooner came in sight, and pursued the barque three or four days, but could not come up with her. On the morning of the lttb, H. M. steamer Grappler came up, and after communicating with • the schooner, boarded the Cora. The lieut. in command called the mate, the second mate, and witness to the quarter deck, and read the articles Over to the crew, tell ing them to return to their duty. Some of them refused. The mate did not refuse, but wished them to return, say ing he was in search of a roan-of-war to obtain a redress of grievances. The lieutenant reasoned with them. The men then stated they bad been used very badly on the river by Captain Dawson. A chest containing 20 guns, part of the cargo, was opened, and the men loaded them ; the mate and carpenter loaded them with coopers' rivets and powder from a barrel that was broached, and was part of the cargo. A swivel was loaded in the same way. Some machettes (a kind of sword knife) were also taken —5 or 6.—When the schooner can:: up, Carpenter said he -would set fire to the magazine and blow her up before they should be taken.—The mate said the same thing. On the previous day, the carpenter said when in sight of the man-of-war, that those who would not assist to defend the barque, must die. Morgan and Jones were since dead ; both dissented from the mate's opinion. Witness made memorandums of these transactions himself. Cross-examined by Mr. Snowball.-1 heard that Dawson had flogged a man who afterwards died. From the 4th November to 10th December 1 was absent with - 41ie schooner, during the time Captain GillEspie and two men died, and no surgeon was on board, no fresh meat on board. Nearly the whole of crew were afflicted with the ;curvy. No lime juice fit to use left. When we left the greater part of the crew were knocked up, nine down ill at one time, and not more than three well at a time, the climate more than anything else was the cause. I saw one man flogged, end the steward was flogged by Henry himself. Had broken a porter bottle on the cap tain's head. The captain had flogged him with a -rope before the bottle was used. Henry threatened the crew what he would do with them when he got into the river. He told them once or twice that he would see their back bones. Re-examined by Mr. Yates.—! know the coopers ; they were cutting rivets to put into the guns. 13:tine orWhithy ? —I saw only Bailie cutting the rivet heads off. Whitby was. in a low, weak state, froni debility, and would not have been so, if they had had good and fresh provisions.. One Thomas also died. Antonio was been flogged by the agent, on board the Cora, in the river, after the Cora re turned. He was flogged with a eat. lie is in a very bad state. I never heard before of an agent degrading himself by going on hoard and flogging the men. Bainedid riot put the cut rivets into the guns. They might have been cut by commend of the mate, .who .had command of the ship. Several other witnesses were examined, and it appeared that Antonio, who was ill at the hospital, could not be brought, if indeed be will be proceeded a4cinst. The prisoner Whitby was diseharzcd to he tahen as a witness hereafter, he having hail nothing . to do wire the affair, as the doctor said he was ill of fever in tha bed all the time. The second mate is also to be brought up, if he can be found, as a witness. Mr. Snowball made some remarks on the cruel conduct of threats pursued towards the teen by Henry, the agent, - and Dawson, and contended that there waS no case of felony against any of the accused. They had been left for six weeks nearly, all ill, without proper provisions, timejuic:‘, or attendance. Mr. Yates also made some strong remarks. Mr. Rushton adjourned the further hearing until to-day at one o'clock. We learn that soon after the transaction! , stated transpired, Captain Dawson himself died, on the coast. FREE LABOUR IN THE COLONIES. On Saturday a very numerously attended meeting of merchants, bankers, and others, of the city of London, anxious to uphold the system of free labour in the British colonial possessions, and to prevent this country from be coming dependent for its supply of sugar and coffee upon the extension of cultivation by means of slavery and the slave trade, was held in the large upper room of the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The spacious room was crowded and Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., was called on to preside. Among the movers and seconders of the res du tions were Mr. S. Gurney, Mr. W. Cotton, Sir E. N. Buxton, Sir H. Sykes Thornton, Mr. Alderman Thomp son, Mr. Masterman, Mr. R. D. Mangles, M.P., Mr. J. Gurney Hoare, Sir C. Price, and Mr. C. Barclay. Mr. Bright, M.P., addressed the meeting amidst great inter ruption, and contended that sugar like every thing else should be brought under the operation of free trade. The first resolution was to the effect that, " whilst it is desirable to obtain an abundant and cheap supply of sugar and coffee, the system of free labour which bad been ob- • tained at so great a sacrifice ought to be maintained." The other resolutions which were carried unanimously were the following : " That it appears from the evidence of the Select Com mittee on Sugar and Coffee Planting appointed by the House of Commons in February last, and from the pub lished despatches of the governors of Her Majesty's tropical possessions, that the competit'on consequent upon the act of 1846, between the forced and unrequited labour of slaws in Cuba an.; Brazil, and the paid labour of our emancipated negroes, has already brought the British colonies, which had been previously struggling with the difficulties of their new position, to the brink of ruin, and endangered the existence of those civil and religious institutions on which the future welfare and progress of their inhabitants depend." " That the inhuman traffic in slaves, which in the years 1844 and 1845 had been more effectually checked than at any antecedent period, has—according to the evidence given before the committee by Lord Palmerston, Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs—actually doubled in amount during the last two years." "That to stimulate, on the other hand the demand for slaves in Cuba and Brazil, by enhancing the value of the products of their labour, and ou the o'her hand to make a show of checking the supply of slaves from Africa to those countries by armed intervention, is an inconsistency which impugns either t he honesty or the common sense of the people of this country, and renders their policy a matter of suspicion to foreign powers." " That unless the Sugar Duties Act of 1846 be prompt ly and materially altered it is manifest that the pi auction of the British possessions will greatly decline—tlalt we shall speedily become dependent for our supplies of "Sugar upon slave-trading countries, and that the consumer must pay an increased price, at least until additional slaves can be transported from Africa to extend cultivation in Cuba and Brazil. " That the interests and honour of the British empire are alike concerned in averting the destruction of the 1 agriculture and trade of the colonies, and in securing the full success of the great experiment of emancipation ; the failure of which would indefinitely postpone the abo lition of slavery throughout the world." " That this meeting, while it would most strongly de precate any system of immigration which might lead to a renewal of the African slave trade by a payment in money or otherwise for a supply of labourers from that continent, and while it would be opposed to any enactment in the colonies which may be incompatible with freedom and the act of emancipation, is nevertheless. of opinion that, in order to enable the British colonies to compete successfully with the slave-trading countries, it is highly desirable that her Majesty's goYernment should give prompt encourage ment to the introduction of suitably free labourers under proper supervision : that just relations should be main tained between employer and labourer to secure to both the benefits of freedom and industry ; and that every local improvement' which can tend to reduce the cost of .pro- Unction should he prompted by generous assistance on the part of the mother country." Here are a few facts from the speech delivered by Mr. Samuel Gurney : " Since 1846 a great change had-taken place on the sub ject of the slave-trade. Up to that time the slave-trade had been checked by the British and other governments; and the Brazils and Spain, not by treaty, but by acts, would have abandoned the traffic it their sugar had been admitted to Cris country at that time. The government of this country had thrown away, then, a golden opportu nity, but not, he hoped, so completely as not to be able to get it back. He would read them a few statistics of the slave-trade in recent years. In 1845 the number of slaves that crossed the Atlantic was estimated at 45,000. In 1847 the number was 69,000, by official reports, but by private and well-authenticated accounts it was 70.000. He would wish them to consider well what the slave-trade really was. He would mention one or two cases, by way of elucidation. One of cur admirals, within the present month, had written to his government iat he had a slaver in tow of 60 tons burden, with 317 individuals on board. The system of packing those individuals was such as to make them almost a solid mass of human corruption. Some few remained alive. He knew cases in which nine out of ten of the per sons composing cargoes of slaves died on the voyage. If such vessels of 60 tons were employed to transport the 60.000 slaves in 1847, the meeting might form some calcu lation as to the amount of deaths. He only told half the evils of the slave-trade when he mentioned the horrors and deaths during the Atlantic voyage. What if he told them of the wars and cruelties exeercised in Africa — of the ruin committed in that country to get possession of those unfortunate individuals—if he told them all they would see that for every 70,000 exported from Africa en equal number had bean destroyed. He believed that the consequonce of the African slave trade, as now carried on, was at least 1,000 deaths a-day." PURIFICATION OF WATER. At the Polytechnic Society's adjourned meeting last night, which is further reported elsewhe.e. Mr. DIGNAN, of the Chronicle-office, read an interesting paper on the filtering or purification of water, and its great advantages in a sanatory point of view. Various schemes had been devised from time to time to attain this desideratum. The liquid generally issued from a considerable depth from the surface, and in going down it passed through va rious soils, and to free it from the impurities thus accu mulated was the object of the new patent filter. Many filters had been contrived, but all were liable to objection. The new filter offered many advantages, and the lecturer ably described its form and principle, which he illustrated by figures. By this contrivance, the noxious ingredients in the water was got rid of. The filter pre sented an impassable barrier to carbonate of lime, mag nesia, &c., which rendered the water hard; but was especially effective where water bad been kept in leaden cisterns, or passed through leaden pipes, which pregnate it with carbonate of lead, most inimitable to health. This stone filter, in the opinion of Dr. -Brett, would separate this noxious ingredient. It also rendered the water delightfully cool. The filter had been tested by the. Lords of the Admiralty, who have introduced it. into the ships of the Navy. The filter erected at Staf ford House for the Duchess of Sutherland, purified 1000 gallons of water daily, and has been four years in con stant and satisfactory operation. The invention has also been introduced at Windsor Castle, and many of the mansions of the nobility. One advantage is the cylindric shape of the filter, so that the impurities, instead of clinging to the stone, as in other forms of filters, fall to the bottom of the reservoir, and the tank only requires cleansing out twice in the course of a few years. The advantage of a self-acting fiber of this kind was invaluable at sea. To the brewer, dyer, distiller, and others, requiring a copious supply of pure water, it was equally available and efficient. In fine, it was at once an economical .invention, applicable for culinary as well as other purposes. This stone filter possessed useful and sanatory advantages. _ _ Mr. I , Escr..n..after a few remarks on the construction of the filter, stated that he considered it the best that be knew of. BANKING ACT.—A Liverpool paper tells us that the Commons committee have decided in ,favour of Sir R. Peel's Bank Act of 1814, by a majority of one. We fancy that this must be an error—or that it reckons an absent' opponent of that act as a voter. We believe that the actual msjority, present, was two: but three of the sup porters of the act were cabinet ministers! However, as we have said, we trust that the evidence find report will let us know these facts with certainty. The triumph, we must believe, is with the opponents of the Bank Act of 1814. For the government began by packing the com mittee with a proportion of two-thirds to one-third ; and yet, when the vote is taken, out of 26 or 27 members—if all, had been prFsent—there woull have been a majority of no more than a single vote !—Herald of yesierdvy. BARBAROUS MURDER or Two MEN.—BelWeell the hours of ten and eleven o'clock on the night of Saturday, a shocking murder was perpetrated in the town of Lurgan, by a fellow named Fitzpatrick. We learn that on that day there had been a meeting of " Tommy Downshire's men" at Shane-hill, from which eight of the party had been returning, and having reached Lurgan they went into a public-house, where they stopped a short time. Upon coming out they were met by Fitzpatrick, who came up to a man named Henderson, one of the party, and asked for something to drink, which was refused. Some few words ensued, when Fitzpatrick ran at Henderson, and stabbed him through the heart with a butcher's knife, which he had borrowed in the morning for the purpose of skinning a horse. This stab was so desperate that the unfortunate individual died immediately. At this time a brother of the deceased ran up to the spot, in order to se parate them both, and not knowing what occurred, think ing that deceased was merely knocked down, he made use of some expressions to Fitzpatrick (we ought to mention that this Fitzpatrick is a very bad character, commonly called a knacker,) whereupon the deadly knife was again called into operation, and with almost instantaneous effect--the second lirother having been also stabbed, from the effects of which he only lived till next morning.— Armagh Guardian. FLIGHT 01 , INTELLIGENCE.--The decision on the " Derby" race, which took place at Epsom on Wednes day, at three o'clock, was made known (through London) on the Liverpool Exchange, at ten minutes past four ; earlier than some on the very margin of the race-course would have beard it. PHYSICAL VERSUS Monate—Whether the Physical wants sheuld be remedied through the 'Moral, or the Moral through the Physical, has been a question which has occupied the attention of Philosophers and philan thropiqs for centuries. Without attempting to decide the question, there can be no doubt that when the Physi cal condition is impaired it, demands the first attention. For instance; a person whilst suffering from an acute at tack of Gout would be unable to appreciate the sublimest leisons of philosophy, even though enunciated by the divine Plato. How much more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, so efficacious in eradicating this distressing malady. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. • Monday Night. A very general feeling of satisfaction has been expressed to-day on 'Change, in consequence of the determination displayed by the Irish government, in carrying into effect the sentence passed upon Mr. Mitchel, which may, doubt less, be received as an earnest that the measure for the security of her Mejesty's crown and government, may be looked upon in future as too serious a weapon in the hands of the preservers of peace and order to be lightly or mis chievously tampered with. And the advices from Ham burgh, which annouce that dispatches have been forwarded to General Wrangel to withdraw his forces from Jutland' with as little delay as possible ' are of a nature ca l cu l a t e d to inspire us with a confident hope for a speedy reestab lishment of peace in the north of Europe, as this act will at once put an end to the only instance in those parts of intern .tional interference ; and one reason which is given in the general Lrokers' circular, for the downward-ten dency of the cotton market, i. e. the disorganized state of affails on the continent, will be partially removed. Consols have ranged pretty nearly the same as last week, and . on Tuesday reached . 84;.. on Saturday were done at 84+ to k, and closed at 84 We have no change whatever to report in SHARES to day. The market during the week has been unusually quiet, the business of each day having been very limited, and without any fluctuation in prices. London Stock - closes this cycling 131 to 3 ; Midland, 104 to 6. A call has depressed the London quarter hares to 1t 2 pm... The calls already advertised fir June are £1,500,000. Our CORN market has been steady since Friday for every other article of the trade except Indian Corn and Corn Meal, which are again both considerably dearer to day, holders asking rambling prices, owing to stocks here. and elsewhere being much rduced, and the demand for Ireland still continuing on a most extensive scale. Our importations of this article are also light, prices having until lately been proportionately low ; and allowing time for the intelligence of the rise to operate upon shipments from America, some weeks must elapse before the market • can he again fully supplied. Our arrivals from the 23rd up . to this day, have been—of Indian corn, 343 qrs. ; Indian . . Meal, nil ; whilst we have exported to Ireland during the same period, the large amount of 10,654 qrs. of Indian Corn, and 5,647 barrels of Corn Meal. Our advices from Waterford state that the consumption of Indian Corn very much exceeds the arrivals, and that prices have advanced 4s. per barrel ; stocks are getting low, and into few hands; and, as the millers and ceal,rs are still only buying from hand_ _to mouth, it is probable that higher terms will be demanded, unless large supplies are brought. in immedi- ' ately. From Cork we have received similar accounts,' complaining of the exhausted state of the stocks, and the smallness of the arrivals, the entries for the week not ex ceeding 4200 qrs. We may here allude to an experiment about to be made by a gentleman from Wisconsin, on the grounds belonging to Prince Albert, at Windsor, for the production of Indian Corn in England, full particulars of which are given elsewhere. lie is confident of success, and the result may he looked forward to as likely to effect a change in the nature of the productions of the Bri tish agriculturist. Generally, the Wheat trade in Eng land is tolerably steady, and in Ireland a little in the ad vance. The weather is still favourable for the growing • crops, particularly in this district, the thunder this morn ing having propitiated a refreshing fall of rain, which was repeated in the course of the day. Since Thursday last there has been less desire shown to purchase sugars. The few parcels that have been dis posed of realised steady prices. The sales comprise 200 hlids. West India, 500 bags Bengal, and 150 cases Foreign kinds, besides a cargo of Pernams, the price of which - is not to transpire. Molassea continue to be in fair request. Rum is rather more in demand, holders having - given way in prices. Rice is more sought after, and 1000. bags were sold at full prices ; there are several in-- quiries for the article for shipment to Ireland. In Tea holders generally are firm : Congous of the blackish leaf kinds arc rather dearer, and fine is becoming : very scarce : other kinds are steady. Saltpetre, from the late reduction in price, is attracting more attention. Nitrate is in fair demand, at 12s. 6d. to 12s. 9d.— Owing to the partial holiday this week in the London markets, transactions have been rather limited ; but in ' the value of produce there is scarcely any alteration, ex cept in one or two instances, in which a further slight ad-. vance has taken place. THE COTTON MARKET for the last few days has dis. played great irreaularity. On Tuesday it was much de- ' pressed, but on Wednesday reached the lowest point. On- Thursday and Friday en improvement took place; but . prices- of least descriptions had given way 4-d. per lb. on the week. There has been more animation both To- DAY and Saturday, and although prices cannot be quoted liighe;., yet every thing ofTerin is more saleable at previ ous quotations ; indeed very ordinary to middling qualities of American are ant so car-y to he boneht as laq week. The import has been heavy, and will continue to he so for several weeks with a fair wind from the west. Sales 6,000 bales, 503 only on speculetion. This week's transactions in the AMERICAS' PROVI.• suns' Trade have been somewhat limited in extent; and although Lard still continues to attract most attention, operations have been a little curtailed by importers demanding higher prices. At Tuesday's public sale 384 tierces, 2716 barrels, end 910 kegs were offered, of which • 295 tierces, 1839 barrels, and 753 kegs, were sold. Some little improvement may be noted in the inferior descrip tions, in consequence of the better qullities being with drawn. Fine parcels of Beef are selling at late rates; but the value of ordinary is slightly: depreciated. A slow business doing in Pork. The same remark applies to Bacon, partly, however, in anticipatien ef the large sales advertised for to-day. Fine New Hams, in .salt, are still wanted ; and Shoulders have realised top quotations ; old, of both articles, unsaleable. In Cheese we have nothing new to report.

The liabilities of the house are • stated at about £74,000, of which the amount of accept ances is only £16,000. The estimate of assets shows a total of £85,000, but it is feared that this depends in a great degree upon the fulfilment of the anticipation ex-. pressed by Carr, Tagore, and Co., of Calcutta (from • whose stoppage the present event has arisen), as to the result of their liquidation. The accounts of the Bank of France for the week ending the 25th instant are less unfavourable than those hitherto presented, although they do not show any very important alterations. Letters from llamburgh of the 23d instant, mention, that, owing to the increasing stagnation of business, em ployment for money becomes daily more difficult.
