TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1854 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY, FEB. 28. ALTrA lliEiTre.—ln answer to a question, the Earl of 9 0 : 1 tEx said that a bill would be introduced this ses ww n into the other House of Parliament, by which power it; be taken to modify the existing law respecting the W` f o "'l u a t in Egland, by which he believed a power existed `lLend the 80,000 men to be raised to 120,000. It intended to vary that, and extend to Ireland the in rw,..er of raising and embodying 30,000 militia, and 10,000 Militia ; but it was not i ntended to em b ody the Ir i sh hie' ius Year. ri T ENANT RIGHT.—Lord DONOUGHICORE, in r e lthe second rea di ng of several bills to amend the iy4ions of landlord and tenant in Ireland, described the irips which were constantly inflicted, both on buyers ,„°ceoPiers, under the present faulty state of the law. rienZ al laged his own landed property, and from his expe tow"' of the obstacles to improvement which the law kraPresented, he earnestly desired that it should be re was The Duke o f N EWCASTLE sa i d t h at t h e ques ti on how as to wh e th er they should legislate on the rela te}, of la ndlord and tenant, for there were already 200 thel!'Puliainent on the subject, in consequence of which i►h eimer In Ireland was i n a most anoma l ous position, but eansm L they should en d eavour to remove th e difficulty lo r d E. 0 Y this h uge mass of legislation. He urged their tsitt - t ,', 4)8 t o consider the whole subject in a select com ukt an ' , if possible, to devise some means by which Z Pe nsation of a retrospective character might be given ants consistently with the rights of property.—After to th further discussion, the Lord CHANCELLOR conspted . sod ttsecood reading of the bills, as continually unjust a 4. 1_3' were accordingly read a second time and referred Thzet committee. -v4l. lordships adjourned at half-past nine. changes in our system of law.—The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave his ready assent to the motion, but he did not believe that the commission would do more than dissipate a vast deal of prejudice as to the resources of these societies, and as to the application of their revenues.—The SOLICITOR GENERAL said he could not agree with the Attorney- General that this subject should be left entirely in the hands of the Inns of Court. They were great national institutions ; their public rights inferred public duties, and the manner in which they discharged those obliga tions was a fit subject of inquiry by parliament. After some further discussion the motion was agreed to. Tim Minx SYSTEIII. - Sir H. HALFORD obtained leave to bring in a bill to restrain stoppages from payment of wages in the hosiery manufacture, with an understanding that the bill, after it had been read a second time, should be referred to the committee upon Mr. C. Forster's Truck Bill.—The house adjourned at ten minutes before six. THURSDAY, MARCH 2. LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr. GEA.CH moved, with reference to this bill, that the 178th standing order be suspended, and that the several petitions of merchants, manufacturers, and traders resi dent in Birmingham, of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester, and of the Manchester Com mercial Association, which had been presented against the said bill, be referred to the committee appointed to con sider such bill. Mr. PATTEN opposed the motion, on the ground that to agree to the course suggested by the hon. member would be to transgress the rules of the standing order committee, which should never be disturbed except on very special grounds. After some observations from Mr. HOESFALL, Mr. H. T. LIDDBLL, and Mr. CIIEETIIAM, the motion was withdrawn. LONDON DRAINAGE.—The motion for the second read ing of the Great London Drainage Bill was negatived without a division. PETITIONS were presented by Mr. HORSFALL, from the working men of St. Saviour's district, Liverpool, in favour of the entire closing of public-houses and beer-shops on the Sunday; from Bootle, Lancashire, against the Oaths Bill; from certain inhabitants of Liverpool, against the Medical Reform Bill ; and from the Mechanics' Institute at Liver pool, in favour of a decimal system of coinage; and by Mr. BROTIIERTON, from the magistrates of the county of Lan caster, acting for the Hundred of Salford, and from the magistrates of the city of Manchester, for the establish ment of reformatory schools. ROMANIST Altair CHAPLAINS.—In answer to a ques tion, Mr. S. HERBERT said it MIS the custom, whenever troops were sent on foreign service, to appoint a sufficient number of chaplains for their spiritual care, and upon the present occasion there would accompany the force, which amounted to 25,000 men, four chaplains of the Church of England, one Presbyterian, and two Romanist priests, making in all seven ecclesiastics. MAIL CONTRACTS.—in reply to a question, Sir J. Gum:um was understood to say that the General Screw Steam Company had tendered the resignation of their contract with the government for the conveyance of mails, and that the resignation was accepted three days ago. He could not state what arrangements the Postmaster-general had made for the conveyance of the mails. EMIGRANT SHIPS.—Mr. J. moved for a select committee to inquire into the recent cases of loss of life on board emigrant ships, and generally into the suffi ciency of the existing regulations for the health and pro tection of emigrants.—Mr. F. PEEL said the whole subject of the passengers' law had been inquired into by a com mittee in 1851, which went into the whole matter, and, in consequence of that investigation, and based upon their report, a measure was introduced and passed in the fol lowing session. Upon this fact he founded his principal objection to the motion ; another was, that some limit must be put to government interference upon the subject, and he thought that interference had been carried as far as it could well be. The number of emigrants who had left this country in 1852 and 1853, since the existing law came into operation, was 792,983, and of that number only 510 had lost their lives by shipwreck. With respect to the general mortality, the rate among emigrants to Aus tralia and Canada had been greatly reduced—in the latter case to per cent. '• in those to the United States , among whom the mortality was 8 per cent., there was a difficulty in enforcing the provisions of the law in that country. He recommended that the inquiries of the committee should be confined to the preservation of life.—Mr. H. T. LIDDELL wished to call the attention of the house to the case of the Irish emigrants who were brought over from Ireland to the ports of this country, and who were ex posed to great suffering and privation. When the right honourable member for Morpeth (Sir G. Grey) held the office of Secretary of State for the Home department, he (Mr. Liddell) had felt it his duty to bring under the notice of that right hon. gentleman the extreme inconvenience to which the county of Northumberland was subjected from the introduction of shoals of Irish emigrants in the most miserable state of poverty and destitution. It would be an extremely proper inquiry for the co mmission how these people were brought over to th is country, by whom their passage was paid, and on what terms they were shovelled from the sister country into England.—Mr. CARDWELL observed that legislation in this matter must be progressive. Measures were now in progress to in crease the safety of emigrants, and he should be happy to adopt any practicable suggestion for that object.—Captain SCOBELL made some remarks upon the case of the Tay leur, which, he said, was the most extraordinary case he had ever heard. After some further discussion (Mr. Peel having recalled his recommendation), the motion was agreed to as it originally stood. MANAGEMENT OF THE ARMY.—A Motion by Mr. HUME, respecting the practicability and expediency of consolidating the different departments connected with the civil administration of the army, which recommended that the greater part of the authority, with reference to the army, at present belonging to the Secretaries of State, should be vested in the Secretary at War, and that he should be responsible to parliament for all measures relating to the army, led to some discussion, in the course of which Mr. HERBERT proceeded to show the inconve niences likely to follow a consolidation of the offices, which would, in his opinion, create difficulty where there was now simplicity. Practically, we had a system which, upon an emergency, gave very efficient results. During the last few weeks it had been seen how the machinery worked. A larger force had been prepared for embarkation than the Duke of Wellington had taken with him to Waterloo, showing that the different departments could work har moniously together.—Lord J. RUSSELL I concurred in what had fallen from the Secretary at War. Mr. Herbert had explained the inconveniences which would attend a new arrangement of the War Department at a moment when the greatest exertions were required; but, with respect to the , snggestion that there, should be a military secretary attached to the Colonial Department, it had already been taken into consideration, and he believed it was necessary that there should be some arrangement of that kind.—The motion was withdrawn. ELECTION EXPENSES. —On the motion of Mr. HUME, leave was given to bring in a bill to charge the expenses of hustings at elections upon counties and boroughs in lieu of the candidates. THURSDAY, Mincn 2. (4 ' Al;beß MILITIA.—In answer to a question, the Earl Ita 's ICREN said, he had stated the other night that i t 4 h the intention of the Government to call out the °tit 0 1 1111 1 1 ga this year.

Petitions were presented by Mr. STANLEY, from the guardians of the poor of the Holyhead Union, Anglesey, in favour of the Settlement Removal Bill, and union rating; and also from the magistrates of the city of Chester, in favour of a bill for reformatory schools for juvenile delinquency. CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.—Mr. H. T. LIDDELL gave notice that, on the second reading of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill, he should move an amendment to the effect that controverted elections should for the future be referred to tribunals composed of others than members of that house. NAVIGATION OP THE MENAI STRAITS.—Mr. 0. STAN LEY asked if the attention of the Admiralty had been called to the erection of stone weirs for the purpose of making oyster beds within the tidal stream of the Menai Straits, thereby causing obstruction to the free navigation of the Straits ; and if any naval officer had been sent down to report upon the same.—Sir J. GRAHAM said, the attention of the Admiralty had been called to the alleged construction of stone weirs. A survey had been made by a naval officer, and the report had been received by the Admiralty; and, if moved for, it should be laid on the table of the house. FIRE INSURANCES.—CoIoneI SIBTHORP gave notice that, in consequence of the delay in the production of certain returns, he was most reluctantly obliged to defer his motion with respect to the duties on fire insurances. WITHDRAWAL OF THE REFORM BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the reading of the order of the day for the second reading of the bill for improving the representation of England and Wales, with a view to its postponement. He said that this bill was read a first time on the 13th of February, and was fixed for second reading on the 13th of March. In naming the latter day he had reserved to himself the right of further postponing the measure, should he think proper to do so. Subse quently Sir E. Dering had placed an amendment on the paper to the effect that the circumstances of the country were not favourable to the consideration of a subject of such importance. It became necessary for ministers in consequence to consider the course to be pursued, taking into consideration the state of public business, and the state also of our foreign relations. With respect to public business, it was true that the supplies had been very readily voted, but the ways and means of raising those supplies had yet to be brought under consideration. He proceeded to say that a messenger had been sent to the Emperor of Russia from England and France respecting the occupation of the Principalities, which, if continued beyond a certain named day, would be considered equiva lent to a declaration of war. If Russia should be disin clined to acquiesce, and twenty-five days must be allowed for the answer, it would be the duty of the ministers to bring down a message from Her Majesty declaring that all relations of amity with Russia were at an end. He hoped the position of affairs at the day he was about to name would be more favourable to the consideration he of the subject than the present time, and in the interim would introduce the bills for improving the state of the representation in Scotland and Ireland. He concluded by naming the first Thursday after Easter (the 27th of April) for the second reading, but without absolutely pledging himself that it should come on upon that day- Sir J. SHELLEY expressed his disappointment and regret at the announcement. The whole affair appeared to be a great sham, by which the reformers of England were to be bamboozled. A lengthened discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. DISRAELI reminded the noble lord of the readiness of the party lie acted with to facilitate the voting of sup ply, and said the reasons assigned for the negociations with Russia were not so satisfactory as he could have wished. He contended that he (Lord J. Russell) was not justified in introducing a measure upon a fair calculation of time that would be occupied by the consideration of the supplies and ways and means, and a better course would have been to refrain from bringing it forward until he he saw whether he had a fair prospect of carrying it through parliament. Was it right, he asked, that a mi nister of this country should be constantly laying siege to the constitution ? He went on to taunt the noble lord with his frequent attempts to introduce great changes. frequent failure, and depicted what and with his equally prose cution of the war, which might m i g ht happen in th e and when the supporters th e se mpathy, fail always to excite of the noble lord might be those who were condemned to annihilation by his own reform bill. He described the four great principles on which ministers proposed to carry on their government; viz., free trade, which was not ex tended—peace, which has resulted in a state of war—pub lie education, on which a great legislative measure was to have been given, but which has never made its appear ance—and, lastly, parliamentary reform, which was now postponed. He concluded with a sarcastic sketch of the proceedings of the administration since its formation, and sat down amidst loud cheers from the opposition. Lord J. RUSSELL made a brief reply to Mr. Disraeli, whose criticism, he observed, though ingenious, had little or no bearing upon the question. SPIEITS.—On the order for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. P. O'BRIEN moved that, prior to any future contract for the supply of spirits for the use of her Ma jesty's navy being made, tenders for the supply of home made spirits be admitted. After a short debate the motion was negatived by 93 to 40. THE ARMY.—The house went into Committee of Supply, and a supplemental vote of £500,000 and 15,000 men for the army was agreed to. The commissariat estimates were also agreed to. THE COASTING TRADE.—In reply to a question from Sir C. Tyler, Sir J. GRAHAM said that ministers had not any intention at present to advise her Majesty to give effect to the reciprocity clause in the Navigation Laws Amendment Act.—Mr. BENTINCK expressed his appre hension that the consequences of the passing of the present bill would be the transference of the coasting trade to foreigners, and the destruction of our own real nursery for seamen. The clauses were agreed to. The Commons Enclosure Bill was read a second time. The report on the Coasting Trade Bill was brought up and received. The house adjourned at 10 o'clock. SHIPPING AND MERCANTILE _MISCELLANY. GOLD AT THE BRAES 0' BALQUHIDDEE.—It has been positively stated within these few days, that six ounces of pure gold have been picked up at a place called " Letters," in the parish of Balquhidder.—North British Mail. THE NORTH AMERICAN FISHERIES.—Mr. Sabine, of Framingham, who has been writing a long document on the subject of fisheries, has sent an estimate to the Gloucester Telegraph of the cod, mackerel, and herring fisheries of the American seas. The number of American vessels engaged in the business is 3,160; British, 3,775; French, 580. The capital invested is—American, $8,880,015; British, $8,900,175; French, $1,225,000; while the value of the annual products is —American, $4,018,030 ; British, $8,690,000 ; French, $1,840,000. Mr. Sabine adds :—" It will be seen that while the 'capital invested' in the British possessions is the same as in the United States, the ' value of the annual produce' is more than double. I should have . guessed at a result some thing like this before entering into a calculation, item by item, for the figures agree with my personal observation for a series of years. So much for the cheaper colonial vessels, so much for boats instead of vessels, so much for proximity to and ownership of fishing grounds, and the exclusive use of the narrow straits and the shore and boat fisheries."—Boston Post. NEW AMERICAN TARIFF.—We have been favoured with a copy of the Treasury projet of the new tariff, now before the committee of ways and means in the U.S. House of Representatives. It subjects all imports to a duty of twenty-five per cent. ad valorem, except spirituous liquors of different kinds, which are to pay 100 per cent., and except also certain specified articles (a pretty long list withal), which are to be exempt from duty. In the latter class are included most raw materials used in manufac turing, and also dye stuffs of every description, solely used in composing dye. It abolishes all bounties and drawbacks on salted or pickled fish. But none of its provisions are designed to go into operation until the Ist of Jaunary next. Goods in warehouse at that date will be entitled to the benefit of the new'rates of duty.—New York Paper. A BRIEF AND MODEST LETTER. --Captain Stouffer's letter to the owners of the Antarctic, at New York, is the briefest and most modest statement of a meritorious action that we remember ever to have read :—" Liverpool, Jan. 24.—1 beg to inform you of the arrival of the Antarctic in the river on the 23d instant, where lam compelled to remain until the 28th, owing to the tides. On the 3d instant, in lat. 39 40, ion. 6 1 2, fell in with steam-ship San Francisco, and took from her the captain, purser; two offi cers, three lieutenants, and about 190 U.S. government troops, which detained me about 54 hours.—Your obedient servant, GEO. C. STOUFFER, ship Antarctic.—To Messrs. Zerega and Co."—New York Journal of Commerce. LAUNCH OP THE NUBIA.—On Tuesday, about half-past twelve o'clock, a screw steamer of 2,200 tons register, and 300 feet long, was launched from the building-yard f Mr. John Laird, North Birkenhead. The vessel is said to be the largest ever built on the Mersey. Her vast propor tions, when out of water, were the wonderment of every beholder, and the fact of so large a vessel leaving the stocks, drew thousands of well-dressed persons. The steamer, which was named the " Nubia" by Mrs. Bailey, is intended for the Peninsula and Oriental Steam Naviga tion Company. Her lines fore and aft are fine, and from her length of floor there is no doubt but she will carry a large cargo, as well as prove a- quick. sailer. The vessels in the docks adjoining presented a very gay appearance on the occasion, having every spar dressed with flags and streamers. Several rounds of cannon were fired in honour of the new craft. WRECK OF THE ORLEANS. — We learn by the Mona's Herald of Wednesday that the ship Orleans, 930 tons register, Captain Charles Thomas, which left this port on Sunday week, for New Orleans, went ashore on the Calf of Man the same night. She left the Mersey about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and pursued her voyage favourably until midnight, when she struck, whilst in the act of wearing, on the rocks of the Calf Island, with considerable force, remained fixed for about fifteen minutes, and then sank in deep water. The captain and crew, numbering twenty-six hands, were saved ; twenty-one escaped uninjured, by means of the jib-boom, to the rocks of the island, and four men and a boy launched the jolly-boat, and, after drifting about all night, reached Port Erin in the morning. It is supposed, however, that several stowaways who were secreted in the hold of the ship have perished, as the hatches were battened down. Those of the crew who escaped by the jib-boom proceeded to the lighthouses on the Calf of Man, where they were treated in an exceedingly kind and humane manner by the light-keepers. The vessel remained submerged until the salt comprising' her cargo was dissolved, when she rose, bottom upwards, and was drifted away by the tide. During the night, and up to the time the vessel struck, the weather was extremely hazy, and the watch was unable to distinguish the brilliant lights of the Calf Island; indeed, so dense was the fog, that the lights of the upper lighthouse could not be discerned from the lower one, a distance of only 187 yards. The ship was observed on Monday afternoon bottom up, about five miles to the west of. the Calf of Man, and on Tuesday morning she was distinctly seen about seven miles off' Castletown bay. The Mona's Queen steamer, Captain Greer, proceeded on Tuesday afternoon to the wreck. The steamer towed her into the north part of Douglas Bay, where she lies on the ground, in eight fathoms water;, her stern only showing above water. It is expected that her spars, chains, and cordage will be recovered, and that the vessel will all be removed further in shore. Her poop deck is gone, and she has had her bow stove in.

MANCHESTER.—The market has been very dull all week, and prices are barely maintained. More weakness prevails in the'value of cloth than of yarns, most qualities and numbers of the latter exhibiting much firmness, con sidering the inactivity that exists, the uncertainty how soon active hostilities with Russia may be entered upon, and the failures, more numerous than important, that have been mentioned, all assist to depress the tone of the market. Considering the inactivity that has continued throughout the week, yarns have maintained a firm position. For many descriptions not the slightest con cession can be obtained, this being the case with most descriptions of India qualities, which.are very scarce in consequence of the late demand, and for which an inquiry, though comparatively a moderate one, is still experienced. The cloth market continues very dull, and in but few instances are prices fully maintained. The India demand is this week very much reduced; for other quarters the export demand is but trifling ; whilst the home trade con tinues exceedingly dull and unsatisfactory. HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been quiet in nearly all its departments, though not more so than might reasonably be expected in the present unsettled state of political affairs. Prices are still maintained with out indication of a downward tendency, a result no doubt mainly attributable to the steadiness of prices of the raw material. BRADFORD.—There is everything to deter spinners from buying combing wools ; the high prices sought for such kinds as are in request, render it impossibla to cover cost, in ordinary counts of yarns. Yarns are dull sale at ruinous prices to the spinners. In pieces there is nothing encouraging, and the most prudential course is to keep the production limited. At Bristol fair, on Wednesday, there was a thin attendance of both buyers and sellers, and the quantity of wool thrown very meagre. Short wools command a ready sale at full prices, but here the activity ends, as the demand for combing wools is very dull, and yet the growers will not submit to a reduction to enable buyers to come into the market. NOTTINGHAM.—A little more inquiry for some description of lace goods, still the trade is dull for the time of year. Nothing like the amount of German business to which we are accustomed at this season, and the time for the spring Leipsic fair is approaching so fast that no great quantity of goo& could now be sent supposing they should be wanted. In hosiery but little doing, all persons seem determined to hold off buying but for their imme diate wants. No change in the price of yarn. LEICESTER.—But little change in the state of trade this week, with the exception of a few small orders to sort up stocks. Some additional orders for the United States' fall trade have also arrived, and a succession of them is anticipated, it being now time that these goods should be manufactured. Prices of material remain the same. CORN. LIVERPOOL, FRB. 28.—There was but a meagre attendance at this day's market, and scarcely any actual buyers : holders of wheat and flour, in particular, mani fested a desire to realise, and would have met demand by a free concession of decline from onr last quotations; in the almost total suspension of business, except of the most retail character, we can, therefore, only quote the redUction at which purchases could have been readily made, viz.: on wheat 3d to 4d per bushel ; flour is Gd to 2s per barrel ; barley ld to 2d per bushel ; beans is ; Indian corn is Gd to 2s per qr. ; oats, all but the best heavy quality, ld per bushel; oatmeal is per load.

Similar prices to those of last Thursday are asked for wheat and flour, but sales cannot be made without submitting to a slight abatement. There is little or no inquiry for other articles ; prices are there fore nominally the same as on this day se'nnight. PRESTON, BIARCII 4.—Owing to the farmers being engaged in their out door occupations, the supply of English wheat at our Corn Exchange this morning was trifling, yet it met a dragging sale at the currency of this day se'nnight. Irish and Scotch in limited request and the turn cheaper. The same may be said of foreign. Flour moved slowly at an abatement of 6d per pack. Oats very plentiful, and nearly unsaleable, though nominally rather lower. Oatmeal continues neglected at a further reduction in value of 6d per load. Other articles rather easier to buy. WAKEFIELD, MAR= 3.—The trade has been very inactive, and we quote all descriptions of wheat fully is per quarter lower. Fine barley retained its value, but inferior sold slowly. Oats and shelling were rather lower. Beans fully . 1s per quarter cheaper. Other articles as before.—Arrivals : Wheat, 8,940; barley, 1,600. WISBECH, MARCIE 4. There has been a slack demand for wheat, at a reduction of 2s to 3s per quarter, the farmer preferring to hold, therefore but little business was done. Oats and beans much the same as last week ; all together a dull market. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAncit 4.--Our farmers brought a fair supply of wheat to market this morning, which sold for from is to 2s per quarter less than the prices of this day week. In south country and foreign little doing, and where sales were made a similar reduction had to be submitted to. Barley in tolerable supply, and sold at fully the rates of last Satuay. No chae in the value of oats. Flour a dull sale a rd t a reduction of ng ls to 2s per sack. CORK, MARCII 4.—The improved tone of our market noted last week is entirely lost. Flour is the turn cheaper; wheat declined is to 2s per bane], and Indian corn is neglected. The forced sales of wheat by some in this market destroy confidence, and induce others to go in fir the fall. DUBLIN, 111suca 3.—We had rather a dull market to-day for every description of grain, except the better quality of oats, which met a brisk demand. We do not alter our quotations of Tuesday, but to-day they only represent few and retail transactions. Indian corn difficult of sale, though offered at a reduction of is per quarter.

LIVERPOOL, 111.tacu 6.—We have to report a heavy trade for beef, and sales were difficult to effect at barely last week's currencies. A small supply of sheep, which sold very readily at former prices. Good beef worth 51d to 6cl; mutton, 7fd to 71d.—Cattle, 2130; sheep, 3621. SALFORD, MAiica I.—Cows, 1,638; sheep, 4,900. Beef 44-d to 64d; mutton, 64d to 7sd; veal, 54(1 to 7d. A dull heavy market, but still the best articles reali se d the above prices. Heavy fat sheep bad to sell. DUBLIN, 31Aucn 2.—The market to-day, owing to Lent, was not so large as heretofore. Beef and mutton, however, fully supported the limes of last we e k. B ee f , sinking offal, 46s to 60s, middling, 60s to 51s • good, 66s per cwt ; single beasts went as high as 60 8 ; Mutton, sid to 74d per lb, some unsold; veal, 8d to 81d per lb, in do.; lambs, 20s to 25s each ; pigs, heavy, 49 s t o 50s • light, 46s per cwt, wi th a good demand. Perk, 60 per 114: PROVISIONS, LIVERPOOL, MARcii 4.—At steady prices the demand for American beef continues moderately active, and our stock, as compared with the same period last year, is in a much more manageable compass. There has been rather More inquiry for pork, and the sales for the week are to an average extent, at full rates. Bacon is in fair request, and all the recent arrivals have been cleared off as landed : but there is a disposition on the part of importers to press off parcels near at hand, before arrival. At a decline of is per cwt., the market for lard is quiet : the sales for the week are reported at 50 tons. The demand for cheese is moderately active, at last week's prices. MAncu 6.—There is no material change to report in our butter market, which continues firm and steady. Theft was a moderate business transacted last week, and, in some instances, rather more money was obtained for fine qualities, which are very scarce, but stale and inferior kinds are not saleable to any extent, although offering at comparatively low rates. The stock is now in a very small compass, and all will be wanted for consumption. Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel, 102 s to 104 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 98s to 101 s ; Belfast, 98s to 100 s ; Limerick, 94s to 96s ; Sligo, 94s to 96s ; and pickled Cork gds, 100 s per cwt. landed.

LIVERPOOL.—There have been no arrivals of timber during the week, and only one cargo of St. John pine has been sold from the yard at 2s. sd. per foot, for an average girth of 201 inches. The sales of timber from the St. Lawrence are confined to retail from the yards, the bulk of the stock being in the hands of the dealers. Several cargoes of deals have arrived, chiefly from St. John, New Brunswick, the bulk of which are being stored on account of the importers, without being offered for sale ; where sales have been pressed lower rates have been submitted to than those previously paid. St. Stephen spruce has brought £l2 7s. ed. to £l3 2s. 6d., and St. John £l2 15s. to £l3 12s. ed.; one cargo having been sold as low as £l2 10s. The stocks in the dealers hands are moderate, some of the more extensive of them have reduced their stocks from an average, at this season. from 4,500 standards to considerably less than 1,000 standards, with the view of replacing at lower rates than the present cost of importation. The stock in the hands of consumers in the country is light, and far below an average, and the demand during the past week has been considerable. There have been no recent sales of Baltic timber or deals to report from the quay. The bulk of late arrivals have been stored by the importers for war prices. PACKET LIST.

ACHES, B:c.—These wonderful Pills have been the means of restoring to health many persons pronounced incurable by the faculty both at home and abroad. They may be takes with perfect safety, and a certainty of effecting a cure, by persons suffering from general debility, sick beadacbdi a , diseases of the stomach, bile, or liver complaints, and those who are predisposed to dropsy cannot use a more effectual remedy than Holloway's Pills, acting as they do upon the very main-springs of life, no disease can resist their influence. The effect they have is mild, yet speedy, and as a family me dicine they are unequalled. INTERESTING PICT. The following singular and authentic case of restoration of the human hair is worthy at observation, more particularly as it relates to an articled high and universal repute during the last half century. Me. A. Herrmann, of Queen-street, Soho, had been quite bald for some time past, and had tried various preparations for the recovery of his hair, but without any beneficial result. He was then induced to try the effects of " Rowland's Macassar Oil," and after daily applying it for about two mouths, be. much to his gratification, had his hair quite restored, and new possesses a beautiful head of hair. This fact speaks toe strongly for itself to require comment.—Bell's ifetaenger. Bu nNS, the Scottish bard, designated the Toothache "the hell of all diseases." And he was not far wrong. This hell, however, is not a " bottomless pit." Fill up the cavity of the decayed tooth, and the torturing fires are extinguished. Brande's Enamel, placed in the decayed spot, prevents irri tating substances from reaching the nerve, and kindling that inflammation therein, which gives the terrible p a i n known as toothache. This substance is used, without heat, in aal state and becomes hard in a fe w m i nutes, ren d er i ng t immaa teeth painless and useful for many years. 'tr o ika!
