THE SOLAR ECLIPSE OF JULY 7, 1842 The total eclipse of the sun which will take place on the 7th of July, 1842, is exciting much attention among the sci entific,. not only in England and on the cont inent, but in America, as appears from documents known to be preparing or now just issued. Thus, in the Royal Astronomical Society's notice for the last month there appears a paper by Lieut. W. S. Stratford, R.A., on the path of the moon's shadow over the southern part of France, the north of Italy, and part of Germany, during the total eclipse of the sun on July 7, 1842. "To ipduce travellers and others in those countries to prepare for the observation of the important phenomena, Lieut. Stratford furnishes a table " computed to enable them to trace the path of the moon's shadow on a large scale, and with very considerable accuracy." It is a very ingenious production, containing for each minute, from 17 h. 34n?. 395: to 17h. 46m. 395., mean astronomical time at Greenwich, the geographical positions (the longitude being reckoned from Greenwich) of points on the earth's surface, where the several phenomena occur of—first, contact of the upper limbs of the moon and sun ; second, contact of the centre of the moon and sun ; and third, contact of the lower limbs of the moon and sun. Lieutenant Stratford, after various details, observes should the darkness be sufficiently intense, as has been sometimes the case during the total eclipse of the sun, to render some of the planets and brighter stars visible, the planet Mercury may he looked for about 5 deg. south of the sun and moon. The planet Mars about west by north, Mars being 15 min. of right ascension to the west, and 1 deg. 16 sec. of delinea tion to the north of the sun and moon, &c. The sun and moon will be in the constellation Gemini, and will have Cas tor and Pollux not far distant in a N.N.E. direction, &p. Next there is, very recently received from America, Pro fessor Silliman's Journal of Science and Arts, for January, 1842, containing an article " on the Solar Eclipse of July, 1842," which observes, " As the approaching eclipse will ex cite great interest throughout Europe, and especially in those places where it will be total, it is earnestly hoped that par ticular attention will be paid by those favourably situated and in possession of suitable instruments, to the determination of the correctness of a recent suggestion—that the irregularities so frequently noticed at the second and third contacts of nearly central eclipses, and at all the contacts of the transits of Venus, may be seen or not at the pleasure of the observer, according as the colour of the dark glass he applies to his telescope is red or green." The Professor then de scribes the irregularities, as seen by many, from Francis Bailey, of London, whose articles appeared in the 10th volume of the Memoirs of the Astronomical Society; be, however, particularly relates the appearances observed by himself, in the south part of Scotland, during the eclipse of May 15,1836. The committee of the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, in their report on this eclipse, say, "This sug gestion is one of the greatest importance, as it seems to fur nish evidence of,the existence of a lunar atmosphere, through which, as through our own, the red rays have the greatest penetrative power. It also leads to new views concerning the cause of the remarkable appearances of the beads of li g h t and the dark lines f re q uentl y noticed, since it shows th a t their appearance may be com p letely modified by a change in the colour, and consequently in the absorbing power of the screen glass through which they are observed." "It is be lieved," the Professor further remarks, " that on another account will this suggestion, if well-founded, be of great im portance, viz., in its obvio us tendency to diminish, if not wholly remove, the discordances not unfrequei?tly found in the best observations on solar eclipses and transits of Venus, and which, with regard to the latter in 1761 and 1769, were so great as materially to diminish the value of this method of determining the distance between the Earth and the Sun." There then follow descriptions of th e p hases of the eclipse at some of the principal cities of Europe.

American. It is with deep regret we record that Mr. Cooke, the cele brated equestrian, has met with a great calamity since his recent arrival in this city, his splendid circus on the Green having been completely destroyed by fire on Monday even ing. The fire commenced about five minutes past seven o'clock, and, we believe, originated in the following man ner. After the gas had been put on, and the building had been partially lighted up for the night, a strong smell of gas was felt on the south side of the premises, where a number of the horses belonging to the establishment were kept, and the gas-fitter being still in the house, (the job not being en tirely finished,) he, and others, went to examine what was the matter. Accordingly, it appears, that, after looking at some of the gas-pipes, on applying a light to a small pro jecting branch from which it was supposed the gas might be escaping, there was an instantaneons blaze, which defied all the efforts of those present to extinguish, nothing suitable being at hand for that purpose. The whole gas, however, was turned off as speedily as possible ; but that could not be effected, it seems, till the fire had so ignited the building and its contests as to render all attempts to arrest the pro gress of the flames hopeless. A general alarm was instantly raised, but the hay-loft, being entirely over the scene of the conflagration, (indeed, but for the circumstance the catas trophe might have been averted,) that combustible material was quickly in a blaze, and in less than five minutes after wards the whole roof was in one sheet of flame. Fortunately all the horses were got out uninjured, and the only loss, in the animal department, is a donkey, the property of one of the clowns, and two dogs. Almost the whole of Mr. Cooke's wardrobe, however, has been destroyed, and will add very materially to his loss. The loss sustained by the members of the campany is very considerable —nearly the whole of their dresses being destroyed. Indeed, out of 18 tons of property of this kind, we are informed, not a ton has been preserved. Several of the musicians have lost a number of valuable in struments. The building was erected most substantially, and at great expense ; but we are glad to learn that the pro perty is to a certain extent insured. Not more than a quar ter of an hour elapsed from the first discovery of the fire till it had completed its work. The audience had begun to as semble for the evening's performances when it broke out — nearly 300 being in the gallery at the time, and a few in the pit and boxes, but the whole got out without the slightest accident. The Circus was only opened on Saturday last for the first time since its re-erection. The remains of the wardrobe is lying pile upon pile in Messrs. Mein's coach-yard, and numberless though the se parate portions of it may be, there is scarcely one left unin jured, presenting a complete wreck of robes in velvet, silk, cottons, broad cloth, &c. It is impossible, we believe, ac curately to estimate the total amount of the loss, but in round numbers it is not understood to be short of £3,000 — including the loss of the individual performers, many of whom have suffered severely by the destruction of their per sonal wardrobes and property, musical instruments, &c. The erection of itself was not insured, but there is a policy of in surance over the stud and wardrobe—the former having been saved in the midst of the conflagration, consisting of 22 horses and 6 ponies. This is the second time that Mr. Cook has suffered from fire. The first took place in Baltimore, United States, on the 3d February, 1837, when the circus was de stroyed, along with 57 horses, and a wardrobe, the collection of which had been the work of more than twenty years—not a dollar of the entire loss being covered by insurance. The utmost attention is paid to the boarders, and they are I GRAND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE MIN I STRY. uniformly treated with the respect due to valuable and worthy men. Innocent amusements are allowed them, such as bowling in an alley in the rear of the establishment, and play ing at drafts, but no betting or gambling of any kind is al lowed. An oath is seldom or ever heard within its walls, nor is the ugliness of drunkenness ever there seen. Such is a brief outline of this noble enterprise of benevo lence and protection for the mariner, and long may it continue a blessing to that meritorious class of men, whose best in terests it is designed to promote. And it may not be improper to add that the thanks of the moral and benevolent, and of the community in general, should be liberally awarded to the founders and patrons of so estimable and excellent an insti tution NEW FRENCH TARIFF ON LINEN AND LINEN THREAD.

The follow ing is an exact copy of a letter addressed to the young man on the occasion by the young lady s father :—" M—. near Camolin, June 3, 1842.—lleer Sir—You have been taulking to my woman a bout some buysness of coortin, and you now you have no buysness with a wife till you gett a farm, as you tould the woman—you gett a farm coming March, gett the farm first, then loock for the gentlemen, and if there is not too much arrears on your father's ground, and if we agree, I pays all for you ; and tell then you have no buysness comeing heer till you have something for her to do. No more from your friend W. W."—Wexford Conservative. HYPERCRITICISM.—In one of the poems of Calidasa, is a couplet which has been thus rendered :—" The intoxicated bee shines and murmurs in the fresh-blown Milica, like him who gives breath to the white conch in the procession of the god with five arrows."—A critic, to whom the poet repeated this verse, observed that the comparison was not exact; " since the bee sits on the blossom itself, and does not mur at the end of the tube, like him who blows a conch."— ras aware of that," replied Calidasa, " and therefore described the bee as intoxicated ; a drunken musici an w ould blow the shell at the wrong end."—lt is said of Milton that he made a similar apology for some inconsistencies which the critics were pleased to discover in the speeches of Satan to his peers, in Paradise Lost. "It would have been im proper," said the bard, " that the Father of Lies should not, in the course of several long speeches, make some deviation from truth and consistency. AMERICAN TIMBER TRADE.—It is not, perhaps, gene rally known, that by act of parliament, no part of the cargo of any ship, wholly or in part laden with timber or wood goods, and clearit , from any British port in North America , or the settlement of Honduras, for any port in the United 'Kingdom, between Ist September and Ist May, in each year, is to t the vo, ay par upon or above th every such ship so_ clearing, shall nc TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF COOKE'S NEW CIRC (From the Glasgot Mail.) ONE CAUSE OF THE EXISTING DISTRESS There is one feature in the depression which so unhappily prevails in all classes of trade, which is the more lamentable, inasmuch as it arises out of the dispositions and practices of the people themselves ; and might therefore be at once re moved if the people chose to abandon it. We allude to that passion for cheapness, without regard to moral, or even to truly economical considerations, which is so increasingly ap parent in all classes, in their dealings with each other. As a general rule, we may be sure that " buy where you can buy cheapest" will obtain, whether we like it or not, a prevalent influence. Yet we must contend that this rule ought to be admitted with caution, and with a recollection of certain other principles which can never be abandoned without certain injury to all parties. Were a lot of articles to be ticketed in a shop-window, " Stolen goods—to be sold cheap," we may trust that a zreat many persons would pause before they entered the shop, and would recoil from the least contact with the crime. But what if it becomes known, by bankrupts' examina tions, &c., that a certain dealer has become possessed of a large stock without paying for it, and has then forced his creditors, by the fear of entire loss presented to their minds, to accept, perhaps a fourth, or a third, of their just demand, When such a man afterwards boasts of the " bargains" he can offer, do not too many persons of character—persons affecting a conscience—throng to his shop, deserting their regular tradesmen, to share in what is nothing else than a scheme of legalised murder? So again, though with less criminality, when a shop keeper is found advertising articles of fixed value—Post office envelopes, and the like—at less than the known cost, do not multitudes of " respectable people " throng to buy. Yet they must know that if the general business of the shop be carried on upon such principles, bankruptcy must be the result. They probably surmise that the adver tised cheapness of one article is a mere lure to draw them to the shop ; yet with that lure they are taken, deserting their accustomed tradesmen to deal with one who either trades under false colours, or else must end in defrauding his creditors. Some recollection of the dictates of conscience ought to interpose a check in such cases. But besides these mo tives, it seems a kind of infatuation in a trading commu nity, to be making war, as it were, upon all profits ; and reducing everything, as far as may be, to the condition'of business carried on at a loss. On this point we must give a short extract from a re cent work : " There is another kind of folly into which the English people have been recently led, and which seems to be be coming more and more rife daily from the absence of op position ; we allude to the passion for cheapness; the en couragement given to competition; and the perpetual as sumption that a lowering of prices must be a public good. `• Now even such a political economist as Smith had sense enough to see and declare, that high prices and plenty are prosperity ; low prices and want are misery.' And nothing can be more certain than the fact, that if we seek out those spots of the earth where prices are the lowest, there we shall always find, as a never-absent concomitant, a great degree of misery and want among the people, `• But surely if ever there was a people who were bound in a peculiar manner to eschew low prices, the English are that .ainin,g twelve heads nts and labourers), s and empli rowers, or artificers ; while t ten of whom are producers, _ other two live upon fixed rents or interest of money, paid to them by the former ten. Suppose then, that a mania for cheapness seizes upon these people, encouraged, of course, by competition, and the fear of competition, all their produce and the fruits of their industry are equally and simultaneous ly reduced one-half; or at least, so reduced, as to bring down their profits, and also their expenses, by a clear fifty per cent. ; is it not abundantly obvious that the only real gainers by the change would be to the two who lived on their fixed incomes, and whose incomes would now be, by the change, practically doubled ; while all that the producing class would realise would be the privilege of doing more business for the same incomes? " And where is the difference between this fancied case and what we now see passing around us ? Could we single out the case of a holder of consols, who drew a dividend of £lOOO a-year in 1818, and who draws the same dividend now ; and could we call for the particulars of this expendi ture; we shouldassuredly which findhe o thatbtai obtained d e very 7 81 same o r h e o , 0 * food, clothing, &c., a-year, he could have now for £6OO, p ro b a bl y f or £5OO. H e is therefore either saving £4OO a-year by the change, or else living in a much more luxurious manner. But what do the producers of his luxuries gain by the change ? J us t th e plea sure of doing much more business than before for the same aggregate profit. We have lately heard, through the public press, that the manufacturers in Manchester are now giving thrice as many goods as they did in 1818, for the same mo ney. And yet, strange to say, this infatuated course is glo ried and exulted in by many, and still greater cheapness de siderated ! Not content with having doubled the national debt once, they would gladly quadruple it, and still fancy that they were doing the people of England goodse.rsviacde: .E H o w many degrees of lunacy do these people requi re t o corn etehg., eir p q . u 4 a 9 h 9 fi fa s t o i o 2 n . for Bedlam ?

MONEY-MARKET. —GoId was in a feverish state, owing to the process of sweating, and parties who expected to find money extremely heavy were surprised at its uncommon lightness, which they only perceived when bringing it into the market.

Our market this morning was, on the whole, moderately well, but not to say heavily, supplied with beasts, the arrivals fresh up being composed of about 1,500 Scots, homebreds, and runts, from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; short-horns and runts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Brs.; 150 Herefords. Devons, runts. &c., from our western and midland districts ; and 04 by sea, from Aberdeen and Dundee, while their general quality was season ably prime. We lean that large quantities of live stock continue to be shipped from Scotland to Yorkshire, which accounts for the limited state of receipts of late from the former quarter up to this market. Owing to the number of buyers in attendance being rather limited, the Beef trade was by no means so animated as on this day se'nnight. However, some few of the finest Scots and homebreds realised 4s Sd per 81b, but the more general top figure did not exceed 4s 6d, and a clearance was not effected without some difficulty on the part of the salesmen. The nnmbers of Sheep brought forward were extensive and of fair average quality, while we have to report a very slow inquiry for Mutton, and last week's quotations were with difficulty supported, those of the best old downs being 4s ad to 4s 4d per albs, while some few were turned out unsold. As to Lambs, this discription of stock was in good supply, and sluggish inquiry at unaltered rates. The season from the Isle of Wight may now be considered as closed. The unusually large numbers of Calves which have lately reached us, per railway, from the west of England. 200 being received thence to-day, have produced great heaviness in the Veal trade here, and the quota tions continue extremely low, the highest being 4s 6d per Sib.

The shield of an unfallen archangel. There are not many stars, but those two—ay, that one—is sufficient to sustain the glory of the night. Be not alarmed at that low, wide, solemn, and melancholy sound. Runlets, torrents, rivers, lochs, and seas—reeds, heather, forests , caves , and cliffs — all are sound, sounding together a choral anthem. Gracious heavens! what mistakes people have fallen into when writing about solitude! A man leaves a town for a few months, and goes with his wife and family and a travelling library into some solitary glen. Friends are perpetually visiting him from afar, or the neighbouring gentry leaving their cards. while his servant boy rides daily to the post-village for his letters and newspapers. And call you that solitude? The whole world is with you morning, noon, and night. But go by yourself, without book or friend, and live a month in this hut at the head of Glenevis. Go at dawn among the cliffs of yonder pine forest, and wait there till night hangs her moon-lamp in heaven. Commune with your own soul and be still. Let the images of departed years rise, phantom like, of their owu awful accord, from the darkness of your memory, and pass away into the wood gloom or the moun tain mist. Will conscience dread such spectres ? Will you quake before them, and bow down your head on the mossy root of some old oak, and sob in the stern silence of the haunted place ? Thoughts, feelings, passions, spectral deeds, will come rushing around your lair, as with the sound of the wings of innumerous birds.—ay, many of them like birds of prey, to gnaw your very heart. How many duties undis charged ! How many pleasurers devoured ! How many sins hugged! How many wickednesses perpetrated ! The desert looks more grim, the heaven lowers, and the sun, like God's own eye, stares in upon your , conscience !—Recollections of Christopher North. To PRESERVE CUT FLONVERS.—It is now, alas ! a long eighteen years ago since we first saw, in the drawing-room of a gentleman now no more, in the hot dry weather of the dog-days, flowers preserved day after day in all their fresh ness, by the following simple contrivance .—A flat dish of porcelain had water poured into it. In the water a vase of flowers was set ; over the whole a bell glass was placed with its rim in the water. The air that surrounded the flowers being confined within the bell glass, was constantly moist with water that rose into it in the form of vapour. As fast as the water was condensed, it ran down the sides of the glass back into the dish ; and if means had been taken to enclose the water on the outside of the bell glass, so as to prevent its evaporating into the air of the sitting-room, the atmosphere around the flowers would have remained continually damp. What is the explanation of this ? Do the flowers feed on the viewless vapour that surrounds them ? Perhaps they do ; but the great cause of their preserving their freshness is to be sought in another fact. When flowers are brought into a sitting-room, they fade, because of the dryness of the The air of a sitting-room is usually something than that of the garden, and always much more so than that of a good greenhouse or stove. Flowers, when gathered, are cut off from the supply of moisture col lected for them by their roots, and their mutilated stems are far from having so great a power of sucking up fluids as the roots have. If, then, with diminished powers of feeding, they are exposed to augmented perspiration, as is the case in a dry sitting-room, it is evident that the balance of gain on one hand by the roots, add of loss on the other hand by the whole surface, cannot be maintained. The result can only be their destruction. Now to place them in a damp atmos phere is to restore their balance ; because, if their power of sucking by their wounded ends is diminished, so is their power of perspiring ; for a damp atmosphere will rob them of no water. Hence they maintain their freshness. The experiment can be tried by inserting a tumbler over a rosebud in a saucer of water.—Gardeners' Chronicle. MAXIMS IRONICAL. —You will observe, when you make a bed fur your dog in the exact spot where you wish him to lie, that the animal is always of a different opinion as to the choice of a lodging ; if you let him alone, be will find a bed of his own accord, but no inducement will make him enter the one you have arbitrarily provided for him. This stroke of natural history you will apply to your children, if you have any ; force them into your way of thinking on all subjects, especially when the affections rind passions are engaged ; with the unbleared eyes of youth, compel them to squint at life through the blue and yellow spectacles of age ; and when they jump, as they will, out of the bed you have made for them, tear your hair, and cry to heaven against filial ingratitude.— Entertain a profound contempt for dress, deportment, and the opinion of society. When you are voted, by the common consent of civilised society, to the backwoods of America, you will be surprised to find how completely you are at home. — Never take the trouble to consider, of your own head, what is proper for you to avoid or pursue. Keep on your hands two or three good advisers, so that when your affairs go wrong, you may have somebody to swear at.—lf you are an author, and quarrel with your publisher, resolve magnani mously to annihilate him, by not writing any more. Writers on proverbial philosophy call this line of conduct " biting a man's nose to vex his face."—Never be civil for nothing. When you see you can get anything by it, be as obliging as you please. If civility costs you nothing, that is no reason why you should sell it at the same price.—Practical jokes show great talent and ingenuity ; and young men should take every opportunity of practising such on all occasions. The latest I know of, was of young rats dropped into an empty decanter, and left on the sideboard. The butler, coming to decant the wine, was so overcome with terror at the sight of the decanted vermin, and being of an apoplectic habit, that he burst a blood-vessel and died on the spot—the practical joker pronouncing it capital fun.—Bentley's Miscellany. THE DISGRACED ELDER.—Look at that grey-headed man of three-score and upwards, sitting by the wayside. He was once an elder of the kirk, and a pious man he was if ever piety adorned the temples—" the byart haffets, wearing thin and bare," of a Scottish peasant. What eye beheld the many hundred steps that, one by one, with imperceptible gradation led him down—down—down to the lowest depths of shame, suffering, and ruin ? For years before it was bruited about that Gabriel Mason was addicted to drink ; his wife used to sit weeping in the spence when her sons and daughters were out at their work in the fields ; and the infatuated wan, fierce in the excitement of raw ardent spirits, kept causelessly raging and storming through every nook of that once so peaceful tenement, which for many happy years had never been disturbed by the loud voice of anger or reproach. His eyes were seldom turned on his un happy wife except with a sullen scowl or fiery wrath ; but when they did look on her with kindness, there was also a rueful self-upbraiding in their expression, on account of his cruelty; and at sight of such transitory tenderness her heart 'uld overflow with forgiving affection, and her sunk eyes mestic sorrow will conceal from the eyes and ears of men ; and at last Gabriel Mason's name was a by-word in the mouth of the scoffer. One Sabbath he entered the kirk in a state of miserable abandonment, and from that day he was no longer an elder. To regain his character seemed to him, in his desperation, beyond the power of man and against the decree of God. So be delivered himself up, like a slave, to that one appetite, and in a few years his whole household had gone to destruction. His wife was a matron, almost in the prime of life, when she died ; but as she kept wearing away to the other world, her face told that she felt her years had been too many in this. Her eldest son, unable, in pride and shame, to lift up his eyes at kirk or market, went away to the city, and enlisted into a regiment about to embark on foreign service. His two sisters went to take farewell of him, but never returned; one, it is said, having died of a fever in the infirmary, just as if she had been a pauper ; and the other—for the sight of sin, and sorrow, and shame, and suf fering, is ruinous to the soul—gave herself up, in her beauty, an easy prey to a destroyer, and doubtless has run her course of agonies, and is now at peace. The rest of the family dropt down, one by one, out of sight into inferior situations in far off places ; but there was a curse, it was thought, hanging over the family, and of none of them did a favourable report ever come to their native parish ; while be the infatuated sinner, whose vice seemed to have worked all the woe, remained in the chains of his tyrannical passion, nor seemed ever, for more than the short term of a day, to ceaselhugging them to image of a perfect patri his heart. Semblance of all that is most venerable in the character of Scotland's peasantry ; arch, walking out to meditate at eventide ! What a noble dignified, and composed ! forehead ! Features how high, There, sitting in the shade of that old w ayside tree, he seems some religious missionary, travelling to and fro over the face of the earth, seeking out sin and sorrow, that he may tame them under the word of God, and change their very b e i ng into piety and peace. Call him not a hoary hypocrite, for he cannot help that noble, that venerable, that apostolic aspect, that dignified figure, as if bent gently by time, loath to touch it with too heavy a hand —that holy sprinkling over his furrowed temples of the silver-soft and the snow-white hair—these are the gifts of gracious nature all, and nature will not reclaim them but in the tomb. That is Gabriel Mason, the drunkard ! And in an hour you may, if your eyes can bear the sight, see and hea r him sta ggering up and down the village, boys ard b cursing, sw earing, preaching, praying— stoned by blackgu s an d girls, who hound all th e d ogs and curs at his heels, till, taking re fu g e in t he smithy or the pot-house, h e b ecomes the sport o f g rown c lowns, and after much idiot lau g ht er , ru efully mingled with sighs, and groans, and tears, he is suffered to mount upon a table, and urged perhaps by re c kl ess f o lly to give out a text from the Bible, which is ne ar l y engraven on hi s memory —so much and so many other things effaced for ever—and there, like a wild itinerant, he stammers forth unintentional blasphemy, till the liquor he has been allowed or instigated to swallow, smites him suddenly senseless, and, falling down, he is hud dled off into a corner of some lumber room, and left to sleep; " better far for such a wr etch were it to death. .Recreation of Christopher North. ;elves at home, ladies," said a lady to her " I am at home myself, and I wish you BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.—We learn that their Majesties the King and Queen are expected at Ostend, on their return from London, on the 14th or 15th of July at the latest. - The meeting of the British Association of Science will ty held next year in Cork In Queen Anne's reign, the Lord Bateman married three wives, all of whoM were his servants.

The great influx of Foreign Wheat up to Friday last, and many cargoes in since, with several arrivals coastwise and from Ireland, amount unitedly to nearly 50,000 quarters, ex ceeding, with one exception, the receipts into this port of any single week for some years past. Of other kinds of Grain the supplies recently in are comparatively moderate; but of Flour, from various quarters, rather liberal, as stated below. Having a good attendance of town and country millers at this day's market, the trade for most descriptions of free Wheat exhibited an increased degree of firmness, resulting in a fair extent of business ; and, notwithstanding the afore named large import, the rates of this day week were fully maintained. In English and Irish Flour we have no change to note; but States and Canadian, duty paid, moving off rather sparingly, receded 6d. per barrel. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule in all respects as described on Friday. The Oat trade assuming a more steady appearance, sales upon a moderate scale were effected, on the reduced terms stated at the close of last week. Oatmeal, on the contrary, was in very limited demand at the decline above mentioned. . About 1200 quarters of Polish Odessa Wheat, in bond, changed hands to-day, within the range of our quotations ; no other transactions of moment, under lock, having recently transpired. G.

WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, JUNE 25.: Vital quantities. Total amount. Price per quarter. Wheat, qrs. 77 Oats, „ 111 LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 30. No change whatever in our Cotton market ; the demand con. tinues steady, but very tame and flat, averaging daily about 4000 bales. Exporters are also purchasing, and to.day have taken about 400 Madras and 600 American. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 27. The supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk was small, and the millers being needy, enabled us to establish an advance of Is to 2s per qr. The best tresh foreign sold at an improvement of is per qr, other descriptions are unaltered in value: for bonded there was no inquiry at full prices. Barley is a dull sale at our quotations. Peas and Beans are saleable at the same prices. Oats are is cheaper WEDNESDAY. June 29 The business has been small this morning, but the prices of Monday have been supported for English and bonded Wheat. Fine samples of Oats aie also firmer, but no further advance has been obtained. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, JUNE 29. The price of hides under 60 lbs. 135., above 60 lbs. 3d. per lb. ; calf skins 4d. to sd. per lb.; Pelts and Lamb skins gd. to is Tallow 4s. gd• per stone of 14 lbs. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 29. The supply of Beef at our market to-day has been unusually small less than we ever remember being shown at Manchester since there was a maket. There were only 360 Beasts, and this number including many lean cattle offered for sale for feeding. Best , Beef realised 7d per lb., and inferior 6id to 7d, which quickly sold up. Mutton was worse to buy, particularly from a less number shown and Beef likewise being dearer. Best Mutton bid to 7d, middling 6d to 6.0 per lb. Lambs about the same as last week in both quality and price, viz. 7d to 8d per lb. A few poor Lambs and Sheep left at the close of the market. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. JUNE 29. During the present week some considerable parcels of Wheat have changed hands, at rather over what could be obtained last market day, say red French, 8s ; Polish, 8s 3d ; Spanish mixed, 8s 6d per 621bs here. Some sales of Oats have been made, at a re duction of 6d to is per quarter. Nothing worth notice doing in Barley, Bean, or Peas.

She has been distinguished for her piety and benevolence in the different stations where her hus bane has ministered for upwards of twenty years.
