Accounts from abroad, with the exception of a few places, lead to the con clusion that the receipts into this country will be very limited of low and medinm wools. The long wool trade, which has tor some time been very buoyant, was this wftek and last rather quieter in Yorkshire ; there seemed no specific traceable Cause f9r the dulness, awl it is Msitiered merely o! 4 tePip9, rary character, as prices are higher in the districts of produc tion, farmers positively refusing to sell, unless they procure their own ideas. Generally speaking, trade in woollen manu facturing is healthy, army orders are abundant, and there is not much complaint of want of home and export orders, so that, on the whole, business may be considered satisfactory; the only annoyance to the consumer is, the advancing value of wool, and the small margin of remuneration for labour. Messrs. HUGHES and RONALD say There has been an active demand by private contract, and owing to the extremely limited supplies of all kinds of foreign, the less current descriptions have met with more ready sale at improved rates. Mogadore, Mazagan, Egyptian and similar kinds have been much inquired for, and everything has been cleared off. Barbary, Smyrna, and Turkey have been in more favour from the scarcity other descriptions. Peruvian meets with ready sale, prticularly the better qualities, and most of the late arrivals have been at once taken for exporta tion. Alpaca has been in very great request, there is nothing on the spot, and some large contracts for arrival have been entered into at 2s 6d per lb. Mohair has been in good demand at full prices, and the tendency is for a further advance. Russia wools hare been more in request, and, during the last few days, sales of Donkey have been made at full quotations. Iceland has been in good request, and new arrivals are likely to meet with ready sales at current rates. An active business has been done in English, but the tone has been rather quieter during the past week, consumers being moderately well supplied. Irish has been -in good de mand and prices have ruled very firm. In Scotch there has not been :much done, old stocks being nearly exhausted, for there is a fair inquiry, particularly for laid Cheviot, cross, and white Highland. Sheepskins of all kinds are very scarce, and meet with ready sale. TIMBER.—From the monthly circular of Messrs. HOLME, SLATER, and CROOK, we extract the follow ing : The arrivals into the Mersey, containing Timber from Bri tish North America, during the month are, 50 vessel, 32,859 tons, against 32 vessels, 24,671 tons, for the corresponding period last year, viz., 20 vessels from Quebec, 15 vessels from St. John, 15 vessels from other pelts. The consumptive de mand continues satisfactory. St. John Birch, of good quality, continues in request. Old and inferior Wood is most unsale able.

One of the men, belonging to the stage saw him with<his hand iu a lady's pocket, but she was getting on to one of ,the boats which left et the moment, and lie was, therefore, gamble to produce her. ,The prisoner had a con venient pocket with a hole 1-ntbe bottom, through which he -thrust his baud, and picked pockets in 4lqcost perfect security.

On Tuesday.she ment to Mr. Davies, and said she had come from Mrs. Kelly , for any shirts that needed washing, and took away three, ,which she pledged for 3s.

ComgracrAL TEAVELLEIZS' ORPHAN Scnoo4s.—ln the year 1847, au asylum was establiehed in a building which was temporarily hired for the purpose at Wanstead, for the main tenance and education of the necessitous orphan children of commercial travellers. This building has become so crowded that it has been found necessary to erect a more commodious one, which has been commenced on a plot of land at Pinner, near Harrow, purchased from the London and North-western Railway Company, and Prince Albert has promised to under take the ceremony of opening the institution when completed. In order, however, that sufficient funds may be raised for the purpose, an appeal is made to the public for assistance, and, in furtherance of this object, a deputation from the Board of Management is now in Liverpool. The appeal has been most liberally and cordially responded to by some of the leading merchants of the town; and as the benefits of the schools are not confined to the metropolis, children from this and other towns being eligible for admission, it is hoped that the depu tation will receive that measure of support which the charity so well deserves. MARTIN'S Prcruttrs.—There are now on view at the Aca demy Exhibition Rooms, Oid Post-office-place, three magnifi cent pictures, painted by the late John Martin, K.L. These pictures are " The Last Judgment," " The Great Day of His Wrath," and "The Plains of Heaven." Each and all of them are fully imbued with the mystic spirit and bold imagination which constitute so striking and peculiar a characteristic of Martin's style. The most pleasing of the three is the last named of them, and it seems founded on the poet's fine descrip tion, For earth Hath this variety from Heaven Of pleasure situate in bill, Green wood or flowery dale. Its composition is easy and flowing, full of character, and rich in colour. The other two are possessed of the attributes of awe, wonder, and material grandeur, and all of them are great as well as extraordinary works.

MONDAY. Ve.dr lordships met at five o'clock. A conversation arose upon the Limited Liability Bill, which 'it fixed for the second reading to-morrow. In the course of which Lord St. LEONARD'S expressed a hope that the measure would not be pressed this session. Earl GRANVILLE said it would be premature to discuss the measure now, seeing that it was not formally before the house. The subject then dropped. The MarqUisof CLiitincißDE then moved a resolution to the effect, that a select committee of the House of Commons having recommended an immediate amendment of the Sale of Beer Act, of 31354,—The circumstances which rendered legis lation on the subject-of the bill, which had been passed by the Honse of C,ommoni, were of such urgency as to render the immed'ia'te considefittien of the bill necessary. Lora REDEsEatt opposed the motion on the ground that the house ought f lo adhere to its standing orders, and that there was no urgency. Lord LTTTLiTON also opposed it. Earl GREIIVILLE supported the motion, urging that as the Tiisting law was productive of great inconvenience to the 'public, and that as the decisions of the magistrates in putting it into force were conflicting it, it was necessary that a change should be Made in the law. After speeches from the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Hardwi&e, Lord St. Leonards, and Lord Congleton, the house For the motion 25 Against Majority for The 'Motion was carried, and the bill was read a second time. The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill was read a second time. The Metropolis Local Management Bill was read a third time and passed. The Excise Duties Bill passed. The Turkish Loan Bill, and a number of other bills, passed through committee. The Island of Tobago Loan Bill was read a second time. Their Lordships adjourned at eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The house met at one o'clock. The Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Bill, and the Navigation Works (Ireland) Bills were severally read a third time and passed. The Diseases Prevention Bill was also read the third time and passed. The Exchequer Bills (£7,000,000 sterling) Bill and the Militia Pay Bill passed through committee. The Appropriation Bill passed through committee. The third read ing is appointed for to-morrow. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. On the the motion for the third reading of the Criminal Justice Bill, Mr. T. CHAMBERS moved that the third reading be deferred for three months. He stated that this measure made a greater alteration in the constitutional tribunals of the country than any that had ever yet passed the legislature, yet it had hitherto gone through all its stages without discussion ; feel ing that it had not been fully considered, he deemed it his duty to urge its postponement. The second reading had been 1L... - .111 fluo lacral members Of the house were absent at the summer assizes, and it was now proposed to read it a third time when they were absent at the autumn assizes. The bill has no preamble, but its object was to diminish the expenses and delays incident to the present sys tem. He denied that it would produce either of these results, but it would throw the fate of every poor man in the rural districts, especially, into the hands of the police. They had already trenched too far upon the system of trial by jury, and should be very slow to proceed any further in the same direc tion. The tribunals under the bill he feared would neither be competent nor impartial ; they would not raise up the clergyman of the parish to try the dissenter, nor the squire to try the poacher. Under all these circumstances, he sincerely hoped that the house would not sanction the bill, which he believed to be the worst ever brought before it. Mr. Kennedy supported the amendment. The ATTORNEY GENERAL was of opinion that the bill would be extremely beneficial. It would lead to a great saving of expense and of time, nor did it violate any constitutional principle, for the prisoner could not be dealt with under it except by his own consent. The object was to prevent the imprisonment of individuals before trial, and it only applied to petty offences, so that it was idle to say it involved any great constitutional principles. Mr. BARROW supported the bill on the ground that no man ought to be made the inmate of a prison until he had been convicted. Mr. M`Mahon opposed the bill, and it was supported by Mr. Baines. The amendment was then negatived without a division, and the bill was read a third time. Several new clauses were then moved, and eventually the debate was adjourned unon one proposed by Mr. M`Mahon, relative to the right of appeal. The house then adjourned at 4, until 6 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that, on the bringing forward of the Indian Budget to•morrow, he would move a resolution to the effect that it was desirable to have the returns made up to a later period than usual, and also that the fanancial state ment of the affairs of India ought to be submitted to the 'house at an earlier period in the session. Lord PALMERSTON stated that he should continue the grant to .the Royal Society of £l,OOO for the present year out of the Civil contingency. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that to•morrow he would call attention to the present state of Italy, and to its occupation by foreign troops. Lond PALMERSTON withdrew the Cambridge University Bi CHARITABLE FUNDS BILL. On the question that the house go into committee on the Charitable Funds Bill, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL made a state ment of the changes which this measure would make in the existing law. The power of the present commissioners would be extended, in order that proper and salutary controul might be exercised over the management of the charities. Mr. KNIGHT moved as an amendment, that the bill be re committed this day three months. The bill gave the Charity Commissioners too extended powers. Sir W. Joliffe seconded the amendment. Mr. MITCHELL said ids objection to the bill was not that it weflt too far, but that it did not go far enough. PELLATT recommended the government to withdraw the Sir G. GREY declined to accede to this recommendation, and defended tie provisions of the .1411. Mr. Cairns: the Solicitor-General, Mr. Henley, Lord Chel sea, Sir W. Heathcote, and Mr. Matins, having addressed the house, The ATTOTOTEX-GNERA.L replied t,Q the several objections, The amendment was withdrawn. The house then went into committee. Having disposed of the first 10 clauses a the bill, the CIIIIRMAN reported progress. The committee ordered to sit again to-morrow. The other orders were then disposed of.

Officer 172 apprehended Effie at his own house in Chisenhale-street, on Friday night, having been told by the prosecutor that a man, named Effie, was one of the parties that had robbed him. Three women deposed that the prisoner had slept in the house with them from half-past ten to nine o'clock next morning on the night in question. The prosecutor, on the other hand, identified the prisoner from amongst eight others on Friday night, and swore most dis tinctly to him in the box, although he had never seen him before the night of the robbery, or during the interval until he saw him in person. In reply to the magistrates, the prose cutor stated that the father of one gs the other young men came to his house and offered to refund the money if he would not appear against the two that were committed, Prosecutor would not give such a promise, and then the other told him that the third robber was named Effie; hence the apprehension PC the latter, The prisoner was committed for trial. DRATVINC FOR MR. E. TV. THOMAS'S COLLEC TION OF PICTURES, LAST NIGHT. IN consequence of the heavy loss sustained by Mr. E. W. Thomas, last winter, in giving his "shilling concerts" at the Philharmonic-hall, he has been compelled to part with his valuable collection of paintings, which were thus offered up as a sort of propitiaiton to Apollo, for the want of devotion on the part of the public of this town. It is certainly rather unjust, ',however, that the high priest of the god of music should himself be compelled to make a sacrifice on behalf of those who ought to have appreciated and paid tribute to his efforts in providing them with such "festivals," and we can hardly ever hope that any gentleman will in future be tempt ed to hazard providing the people of Liverpool with high class entertainments at such low rates, after so discouraging a result to Mr. Thomas. The pictures, which were valued by a competent judge at £6OO, were divided into twenty prizes, to be disposed of amongst 300 subscribers, at one guinea each, and to be drawn for by lottery, similar to the practice pursued at the London and Liverpool Art-Unions. They have been on view for some time at Mr. Morrish's Merchants' Dining-rooms, Tithebarn street, where also the drawing took place, last evening, There was a large attendance of Mr. Thomas's friends, and the drawing occupied about two hours. The following was the list of prizes, and the result : • Prize 1. " Landscape," by Nicholas Poussin.. Drawn by ticket No. 24, Mr. Wm. Davies, Lyceum-place. ; 2. " Skating Scene," by Vanderneer.

MAYORALTY OF DIIDLIN.—At a meeting of the Dublin Corporation, on Wednesday, Alderman Fergus Farrell was nominated without opposition to the office of Lord Mayor of that city for 1856. Mr. Farrell has ever been a consistent Liberal of the advanced school, and it is some proof of his general worth that the motion for his appointment was se conded by Alderman Kenahan, of the extreme class of Con servatives. Tsu POTATO CROP.—Some isolated symptoms of the re appearance of the old potato pestilence having manifested themselves since the setting in of the last month's heavy rains, the calamity-mongers are at their old trade, and al ready the " cry" has gone forth, that a large portion of this year's produce is destined to share the fate of the crop of 1846 and the subsequent years of failure. There are, undoubtedly, a few authenticated instances of the appearance of the fatal blight on the stalks, but in no instance as yet has the disease attacked the tubers, which remain perfectly free from taint; and, as the season is now far advanced, it may be reasonably hoped that whatever damage the crop may suffer will be very trifling indeed as compared with the losses of former seasons of disaster. THE WEATHER AND THE CEOPS.—During the past week, there has been very little of sunshine, so necessary for the ripening of grain at the present time ; instead of which there have been frequent showers, sufficiently continuous to very much retard the saving of hay, a considerable quantity of which had been out before the rain commenced. As yet, the account of the cereal crops are satisfactory, with the exception of complaints from some quarters of the wheat being laid to some extent by the rain. There are still some reports about the blight in the potato ; but on the whole nothing has ap peared calculated to lead to the opinion that any serious injury has been done. Indeed, there are not as yet any reliable ;acts to show that the tuber has been at all affected. So far as may from. tlrPsent a.nnPnrnnePs. it only requires a few weeks of fine weather to ensure an abunuant harvest. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OP SELF-31IITILATION.—A soldier of the 15th Regiment, in Cork garrison, some time ago de serted, and was by a court-martial sentenced to 86 days' imprisonment, and to be branded with letter D. The letter. D was made on his breast. But while undergoing his term of imprisonment he became ill, and his removal to hospital was necessary. He was accordingly removed, and after a short time, being fround to be progressing favourably, he was placed in the convalescent ward. Here he took advantage of the comparative liberty of the hospital, and one day got up, took the razor with which he was in the habit of shaving himself. and cut out the piece of flesh on which the ignomi nous brand had been placed. He then rushed out of the hospital, made his escape from the barracks, and has never since been heard of, The piece of flesh was found on the floor, and has, we believe, been preserved. ROYAL ROCK FERRY COMPANY.—The annual meeting of this company was held yesterday in the Clarendon-rooms. Reporters not having been admitted, we are unable to state any particulars relative to the business transacted. "ENTERPRISE."—By a recent decision in one of the supe rior Law Courts of New York, it eas been laid down that the act only prohibits the sale of liquors of domestic manufacture. The next morni ng a l l th e s t ores d i splayed signs certifying " none but imported liquors sold here." The New York Herald says on this :—" The enterprise displayad by the liquor dealers in disposing of their American liquor in one night, and filling their shops with imported liquor by next morning, is certainly very extraordinary, and merits public notice." TUE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY, on Tuesday, de clared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax.

I had long pyeviously been afflicted with headache and indigestion; but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it."
