The astonishing success which has crowned the application this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable Cases, when'the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this afterrthe ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to tie attention of the afflicted.

Well-street, Cripplegate. Snt,-1 hate been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free front pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made•xnown to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appßli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room., and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,— 1). W. STONE. 31orley's Ilotel, Strand, 18th August, 1840, Sin, —I have hitherto had a pre j udice against naving recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber ' from which I awoke to enjoy that wh ic n was , f rom its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom nam. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, HENRI VILLENNEVZ.

Extract of a Letter from Mr. 11 ,bert Calvert, Stohealey, dated September 3rd, 1847. To Professor HOLLOWAY. Slit,—Mr. Thompson, National Schoolmaster of this Town, desires me to send you the particulars of his Son, who had been bad for three years and a half, and has received the greatest benefit by the use of your Pills and Ointment He is of a scro. fulous constitution : a pleurisy had left a large collection of matter in the chest ; this eventually formed a passage through the wales of the chest, and ended in three fistulous sores which discharged large quantities of pus, when he was induced to try your Pills and Ointment; at this date he was apparently in a dying condition, the stomach rejected every thing it took. Your Pills and Ointment had the effect of completely curing both the cough and stomach affections, his strength and flesh are also restored, his appetite keen, and digestion good. There is every prospect that a little further continuance of your me dicines will finish the cure. (Signed) ROBT. CALVERT. The " Mofussilite" Newspaper, published at Meerut, has, on the 15th October, 1847, copied an article from the " Benares Recorder." of which the following is an Extract : " The Prince of MAHARAJAH BISSONATH SINGH, who wa s temporarily residing at Chittercote, was suddenly taken ill with Spasmodic Colic, and during his illness His Highness often asked for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, as he had heard much of their virtues, but none could be obtained in the neighbour hood, and Professor Holloway, no doubt, unfortunately loses a certificate which would have graced and dignified his list of cures." The native Princes are now using Holloway's celebrated Pills and Ointment in preference to every other medicine, they being so wonderfully efficacious in the cure of diseases in India.

Address to the SECRETARY, Hargraves-buildings, Liverpool. THE BLUE-COAT HOSPITAL.—On Sunday forenoon, in accordance with an ancient custom, Mr. J. Brarnley- Moore, the newly-elected Mayor, went in state, accom panied by the principal members of the Corporation, to St. Peter's Church, where a sermon on behalf of the Blue-coat Hospital (one of the oldest and best of Liver pool's charities) was preached by the Venerable Arch deacon Brooks. The Mayor, who was accompanied by Mr. T. B. Horsfall and a large majority of the Council, and a long cortege of our most influential fellow-towns men, left the Town-ball, preceded by mace-bearers, with the Corporate regalia, about a quarter before eleven o'clock, and the whole party walked in processional order to church. The fire-brigade and a large proportion of the police-force were drawn up in the form of a guard of honour. The church was much more crowded than it had been on like occasions for many years past. Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Headlam. The orchestra was filled by an efficient choir of about twenty or thirty boys and girls, pupils of the hospital. The archdeacon took his text from the fifth chapter of St. Paul's Ist Epistle to the Corinthians. v. 6:—" Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." The rev. gentleman argued strongly for the religious education of youth, and said the school on behalf of which he then appealed furnished a satisfactory answer to objectors. The children there were brought up strictly in the tenets of our national church, and he had yet to learn that they had ever been accused of intolerance or of bigoted superstition on the one hand, or of laxity of principle and infidelity on the other. Re ligion was the great cementing principle of the social fabric, deprived of which it must fall to pieces of itself. It was the key-stone which supports the mighty arch of civilized society, and if it were withdrawn the whole structure must sink into deformity and ruin. A collec tion, made after the sermon, realized the handsome sum of £lO4. Mr. Mansfield, proprietor of the Dublin Packet, died on Friday. The three last Gazettes contain no less than sixty eight fiats in bankruptcy chiefly among the manufacturing and trading community. The three great railway companies have given notice of their intention to apply to Parliament for an Act to enable them to amalgamate. As the Speaker's notice has appeared in the Gazette, we apprehend that the Yorkshire election may be ex pected to take place about the Bth or 10th of December. James Anderson has been unanimously elected Lord Provost of the city of Glasgow, in the room of Alexander Hastie, M.P., resigned. Lieutenant Munro, late of the Blues, who suffered 12 months' imprisonment for the fatal duel with Lteutenant- Colonel Fawcet, of the 55th Ra2giment, is to be appointed riding -master of the 7th Hussars. On Friday afternoon, a collision took place on the Lan. cashire and Yorkshire allway, near the Middleton station. The exprezo from Rochdale cinched into a coal train and smashed a wagon into 9 hundred pieces. One or two passengers were slightly injured. EVANGELICAL RELIGION IN THE PRINCIPALITY OF ANCIENT SAMARIA.—We are indebted to the Rev. M. Margoliouth, for the following paragraph, being an extract from a letter he received yesterday from the Lord Bishop of Jerusalem. The letter was dated " Jerusalem, October 11th :—" I have also opened a Scriptural School at Nablous, numbering about 25 boys. There is a remark able movement among the Christians of Nablous and the neighbourhood. There is a great demand for Scripture, and many seem resolved to constitute themselves into a Scriptural, or as they say, an Evangelical Church, and desire to place themselves under my direction. In order to get a solid footing, I have purchased a School-house at Nablous." THE CROPS IN AMERICA.—The following is an extract of a letter to the editor, from an intelligent and respec table cotton planter, in Hempstead county, Arkansas, dated 28th ult. :—" Corn crops, now being gathered, do not equal expectations by nearly one-fourth, and we rnti cipate some scarcity next year. Cotton, although of fair quantity, is also short of expectation. With abundant weed there are but few bolls, and 1 shall be agreeably disappointed if, in this section of country, we come within one-third of the yield of last year. Stinted in the means of bread, with a reduction of one-third on the cotton crop of the preceding year, and nearly or quite the same reduction in rice, the prospect of the planter is anything but cheering."—New York Herald, 23d Oct. THE COTTON CROP IN MISSIESIPPL—The Natchez Free Trader of the 10th inst. says that the crop of cotton will be much less than is generally supposed. The boll worm has been very destructive, and the storm in August did great damage. The crop, too, owing to the great quantity of rain which fell, had a much more flourishing appearance than its yield in picking seems to justify as profitable. , On the whole the Free Trader i nclines to the opinion that the actual yield will be at least one-third less than has been anticipated. The Houston (Mi.) Republican of the 30th ult. says, " We have during the past few weeks passed through the northern counties of this State, and the south-western counties of the State of Tennessee, and the reports of the cotton crop nowhere promise a yield of one-half the usual quantity. The corn crops are somewhat more than an average one.—Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 24. Lord Cardigan has again got into hot water with an officer of his regiment. It appears that not very long ago the Hon. Gerard Noel, a captain in the corps, a smart and efficient officer, was unfortunately late one morning for stables, an 3, being orderly officer, he so reported himself, stating with regret that he had overslept himself, and that the breach of duty should not occur again. For this offence, reported by himself, Captain Noel was at once placed under arrest by his colonel, and the arrest continued so long that the officer was obliged to submit to the indignity of marching out of a town with his regiment— a disgrace which, we should imagine, most colonels are not desirous of inflicting upon their officers for crimes even more heinous than that committed by Captain Noel. Our non-professional readers will understand that an officer under arrest marches out of a town in rear of his troop, deprived of his sword. Shortly after this extraordinary _ncide• t Captain Noel was again placed under arrest for not returning to his duty during the Easter holydays,— he being a member of Parliament. We believe that to place an officer under arrest for such a fancied breach of duty is a most unheard-of proceeding, whilst the punish ment most assuredly involves a great constitutional principle. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—OD Friday a suicide was committed at Nottingham, which produced a degree of interest and excitementgreater than any event of the kind for many years. During the last two years the Rev. W. Brown, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, has been officiating as curate of Sneinton ' a large parish adj o i n i ng the town of Nottingham, which situation he filled to the satisfaction of the incumbent, the Rev. W. H. Whyatt, and a numerous body of the parishioners. Two or three weeks before Easter last the Rev. E. Bull, of Pentlow, in Essex, came with his family to Nottingham, exchanging his residence with the Rev. W. C. Coleman, incumbent of St. James's, Standard-hill, the latter gentleman being out of health, and requiring a change of air. The Rev. E. Bull has a daughter, about 17 years of age, who is a ward in chancery, and on attaining her majority will become possessed of considerable property, This young lady having become the object of Mr. Brown's affections, he made his attachment known to her father, hoping to be accepted as her suitor. His expectations, however, bei ng in a great measure frustrated, it seems the disappointment has proved too much for his mind, and has caused him to commit the melancholy act, which has plunged a large circle of relatives and friends into the deepest grief. On Friday last his conduct appeared considerably altered, owing, no doubt, to a letter he had received in the early part of that day from the Rev. E. Bull, who in very con siderate terms declined his offer, at all events for the pre sent, on account of the youth of his daughter, and strongly, vet in a kind spirit, advised him to think no more about the matter. During the afternoon the deceased was seen to walk in the streets in Nottingham in a very hurried and excited manner, and on visiting two or three shops, his altered manner excited a considerable degree of attention. At four o'clock he went to the Castle, and having obtained admission at the lodge, walked to the ruins, and entering a compartment at the south-west corner, drew a pistol from his pocket, and holding it in his left hand, shot him self in the forehead, the charge taking away the whole of the orbit of the left side, and pressing the eye down inside the cheek. CIRQUE NATIONAL DE PARIS.-ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. The resources of Mons. Dejean's equestrian troop are so very extensive that he is enabled to cater to the public taste by a change of performance thrice a week. This is the more remarkable when we take into consideration that there is no stage work—all taking place in the circle. Nothing can exceed the beauty, taste, and extreme ele gance of the entire costume and appurtenance^f which leave nothing to be desired by the most fastidious taste. The performances for the past week have been of a very interesting character. Mons. Dejean has now at his command nearly all the talent of Europe, for our gratification and amusement ; and we venture to predict that when he arrives in London he will have another bril liant season. Mdlle. Caroline continues to astonish, by her fearless mastery over her wild, yet docile, steeds. She sits on the horse as if she were, centaur-like, a part of the animal itself; and such is her skill, that when you fear the horse, from his wildness of action and stag-like leaps, must throw her she sits smiling, and you are at once re lieved and convinced that itis the consummate skill of the rider you behold. Mons. Loisset is the first rider in the troop, and of rare talent ; witness his various acts of horse manship. As we have on former occasions spoken highly of the personal attractions as well as professional talent of Mdlle. Annato, we shall this week translate and extract part of an article upon the Cirque de Paris, from the leading journal of Paris, Le Constitutionnel, of the 28th August last, in proof of the estimation in which she is held in Paris : "If St. Petersburgh makes itself proud of Madame Lcjars, Paris can also glorify itself of Mdlle. Palmira Annato. Mdlle. Annato is about eighteen years of age, beautiful large black eyes, her head the best formed in the world, which is a sign of intelligence, of a graceful and pensive air, a form harmonious and delicate, and all those numerous beauties of youth. One asks, verily, how any body could have had the idea to put a riding whip into the hands of this graceful young lady, to throw her, without consideration, upon the crupper of a horse, and say to her, as was said to Mazeppa-1, Ride away across the meadows.' It appears to us that the lessons of Mons. Provost, of the French Comedy, or of Mdlle. Georges, or the musical lessons of M. Bordogni, would have much better become the expressive physionomie of Mdlle. Annato than the clever whip-work of M. Adolphe Fran coni. But it is necessary to say, that the Annato family is so destined, and Mdlle. Annato, far from disdaining the crown of her ancestors, is willing to add some fresh laurels. This young lady raises herself in the air, bounds over the scarfs, and through the hoops, and descends sometimes upon her feet. sometimes upon her knees, and in such a manner that we may truly remark, that if all was not made with perfect ease and grace, one would suffer from viewing the spectacle, and would feel desirous to say to Mdlle. Annato, " Throw away your whip, descend from the horse, and sing to us an air of Auber, or repeat to us one of the charming scenes of Miravaure.' We hope that St. Petersburgh will not deprive the Olympic Circus of M. Dejean of his most brilliant star, and take away Mdlle. Annato." Many years have passed since the Parisian public have known M. Auriel, but he is always young. It is an interesting sight to see him every night prepare the talent and reputation of his son, as the clown of future ages. Mons. Leclair has become a great favou rite in light comic, he is very amusing, and amazingly active. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON MONEY MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The English Stock market is very quiet to-day, but the quo tations have been firm. Consols have been 861 to for the present Account, and are nearly the same for the December Ac count. LONDON SHARE MARKET.-YESTERDAY The market for Railway shares is rather inactive to-day, and the higher rates of Saturday are not in all cases maintained. Great Western and South-Western h ave rece d e d. Th e Y or k lines - are better. South—Eastern steady, and also Eastern Counties. North-Western firm. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The supply of Wheat received fresh up to our market this morning, coastwise as well as by I.2nd carriage and sample, was very limited, and of middling quality. The demand for all de scriptions, arising from the heavy imports of foreign Wheat and Flour, was in a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline in the prices paid on Monday last of fully Is. per qr., at which the market closed early. For all kinds of Barley, the supply of which was large, we had a very dull inquiry. Malting parcels were 25., and grind ing and distilling sorts Is. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. The foreign supplies are still coming to hand in excellent condition. Although the supply of Malt was not to say large, the inquiry for that article was heavy. In some instances last week's figures were paid for fine qualities of new, hut old parcels and the secondary kinds of new were quite Is. per quarter lower than last advised. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The new steam ship Canada was taken into the graving dock on Saturday, for the purpose of being inspected by an officer of the Admiralty. On the sth instant great rejoicings took place at Bootle, through the generosity of Mr. Thomas Musker and other villagers. Refreshments were provided at Mr. Lunts. On Saturday, as Mr. Houghton's phaeton was going along Churc h-street, the horse began to plunge violently. The driver got off, and Mr. Houghton also. Several gentlemen, whilst attempting to restrain the horse, were seriously injured, among whom was Mr. Neilson. At tae late municipal election at Stockport—on whose shoulders Mr. Cobden was carried to the House of Com mons—eleven Conservative councillor's were returned out of fourteen that were chosen. Mr. Coppock, the Radical town-clerk, has been dismissed, and Mr. John Vaughan, Conservative, has been elected to supply his place. CALIFORNIAN GOLD.--The discovery of gold in the sands of the river Sacramento, in Upper California, is confirmed by a letter received in Liverpool from the ma nager of the quicksilver mine near San Francisco, (the town deserted for the gold region,) dated 31st July last, in which he states, without expressing the least doubt as to the existence of the gold, that " all his workpeople had left him for the gold district." It is worthy of remark that the quicksilver was as much doubted when first dis covered, about two years ago, as the gold is now. At the last accounts 600 quintals were ready for shipment at San Francisco, for the conveyance of which to Mazatlan the Cayuga had been chartered at the latter port, whence she sailed on the 4th July to take it down. PELL'S SERENADERS AND Boz's JUBA.—We have quoted in former publications the opinions of the Man chester press upon the above company ; and are now en abled heartily to coincide in the praise which has been bestowed upon them. There are some excellent singers amongst the dark gentlemen, Valentine and Pell in parti cular. The former is really very superior : and in nearly every one of his pieces is encored nightly. Mr. Bones is very accomplished upon that delightful instrument, and the violinist is a sweet player. But Juba !--we really cannot find words in which to express his accomplish ments. His Miss Lucy dance in character is very good; but his plantation and corn-husking dances are wonderful and perfectly indescribable. Not the least amusing part of the performances is composed of the witty dialogues, which the darkies keep up in the interval between the songs. INTENDED NEW THEATRE.—We have learned that a new and splendid theatre is proposed to be built by sub scription, on the vacant ground immediately south of the Queen's Hotel, in Lime-street, opposite to the Railway Station, and the New Assize Courts,—a site well suited, from the open space in front, and its being in the very centre of the town, as well as on a considerable elevation, for a place of public amusement. The project has ori ginated with Mr. Mitchell, the enterprising butler of the Queen's Hotel, who is owner of the land under the Cor poration. The architect for the structure is our townsman Mr. Stephen, and the plan and elevation will be laid be fore the public in a few days. It is stated to be most tasteful and classical in design. We further understand that most of the celebrated actors of the day, and hnown in the town and in London as " professors' in the legiti mate drama, have signified their intention to become shareholders, who shall secure a constant succession of " stars," of the first magnitude. Considering 9ie number of theatres now in the town, we do not venture an opinion upon this new speculation ; but should the real drama in its integrity be adhered to, we think the parties may anti cipate success. The ground floor of the building will be occupied by handsome shops, and immediately adjoining is the arcade, laid out in fancy shops between the frontage in Lime-street and Roe-street, at the back of the Fish Market. CHARGE AGAINST AN EX-POLICE INSPECTOR.-At the Police-court, on Saturday, a case against a man named Poole, formerly inspector of police, and whose letters in the newspapers, signed "An Old Police Officer," have at tracted some attention, and who had been remanded from Saturday, was charged with having stolen a bag of nails, and a bar of metal. It appeared that a police-officer had followed a little girl with ten pounds of lead—subsequently shown to have been stolen from her father—into a ma rine store in Hotham-street, where it was disposed of. A search was made on the premises, and forty-two pounds of new copper nails were found. An entry in the book showed that they had been purchased from Mr. Poole, 151, Grafton-street, where the. prisoner resides. It was proved that Poole acted as clerk for a shipwright near the Brunswick Dock, and that he had the charge of the stores there. Sonic stores had been missed, including a bar of metal, but the employer of the prisoner could not swear to their identity. The prisoner said lie had purchased the nails from a man named Jones, in Wigan. He denied all knowledge, and was remanded. Yesterday, the prisoner was again brought up, and it appeared that a police-officer had in the interim been at Wigan, but could find no per son of the name of Jones, who, it was stated by the pri soner, had sold him the nails. The prisoner stated that what he had said was that he believed the vendor's name was Jones, but he was not certain of the fact. He called his employer, who again stated that lie could not swear to the articles produced, and that such was his opinion of the character of the prisoner, that he would have no objection again to take him into his service. Under the circum stances, Mr. Rushton discharged the prisoner, but re marked upon his statement relative to having purchased thew from a man named Jones, who could not be found. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. MONDAY EVENING. The healthy tone which it has given us so much pleasure to communicate in our two preceding publications as steadily developing itself in the commercial body daily gains ground. In fact, as it was remarked to-day on 'Change. we have never looked back since the railways went forward. And if the share-market is to be the pulse by which the health of the community is to be tested, it beats stronger to-day than it has done since the reaction. A paragraph appears in another part of our impression, in which it is announced that the last three Gazettes contain no less than sixty-eight fiats in bankruptcy chiefly among the manufacturing and trading community : this is a con vincing proof, without doubt, of the existence of a des perate era of depression, through which we have passed ; but there is nothing in it, to damp our hopes for the con tinuance of the present advent of prosperity. Our foreign intelligence is varied in its nature : accounts from Vienna to the 4th inst. convey information relative to the recommencement of public business, and the opening of the Exchange was expected to take place on the 6th inst.. but the payment of bills falling due from the 6th of October to the 20th of November had been prolonged, by authority, for one moath ; new disturbances were impending at Naples on the Ist, and the funds had fallen 2 per cent; the Belgian budget, which promises financial an.eliora tions, has given great satisfaction ; and at Hamburgh, al though there was some demand for paper on London, the operations in foreign exchanges continue small. The English funds opened in London on Saturday at BG3 to I, receded to 864 owing to the new symptoms of restlessness in Ireland, but ultimately rallied, and closed, rather sel lers, at 863 both for money and the 12th of December, which indicates a rise of fully over the closing prices of this day week ; and as the Irish rising has been very quietly put down, we expect to. night's post will bring intelligence of a further enhancement. The SHARE market has been extremely healthy all the weer, and most extensive purchases have been made by the capitalists for investment. Prices have each day steadily advanced, and close this evening at the highest point of the week. The Leeds, the Western, and the Southwestern Companies have issued their statements — the two former are looked upon as satisfactory and have had a favourable influence upon the prices of the shares. The Southwestern is riot liked. The Midland expose is expected about Saturday next, and from what we can learn, it is to surprise the most sanguine. There has been an animated demand for this stock and the halves every day, for some time back, both speculative and for invest ment, and it is confidently expected that both will advance to near Aaron th? issuing of the statement—London Stock is 119 to 121, the 4- shares 1 to 11 pm. ; Midland 86 to 88, the 4 shares 8 to 84- dis. In the COLONIAL markets the demand for Sugar con tinues good ; 5,000 bags were sold on Saturday and to-day at firm prices. The Rice offered for sale has been with drawn ; 10s. was paledfor low middling, which was taken in at lOs. 6d. ; the price of this article does not move here, although a trifling improvement has manifested itself in London, this latter being probably owing to government purchases for Ireland. In other articles there has been no change since Friday. On reference to the report of Friday's CORN market, given in our seventh page, it will be seen that, although most articles of the trade were somewhat depreciated in value, Indian corn was firmly held at the extreme rate's of Tuesday. Taking into consideration the falling off in the consumption of this article in Ireland, the reason for this steadiness is only rendered apparent by the following in telligence, which we copy from the American edition of Messrs. Makin and Sons' Liverpool corn circular : "Advices have been received from the Danube, announcing a decree of prohibition to the exportation of grain of all descrip tions from the principality of Wallachia, to commence on the 27th October last: this decree had produced great sensation among the Danube merchants, there being many ships there, and on the way out, to load Indian corn, a large portion of which had been sold on contracts fer English account, and which must of necessity remain unfulfilled." During Saturday and to-day, the market has lacked ac tivity, and prices continue unchanged, waiting the intelli gence to arrive by the American packet, our summary of which will be found elsewhere. The arrivals into Liver pool, reported since Friday, comprise :—Wheat, from Ireland 168 qrs., United States 1813 qrs. ; Barley, coast wise 152 qrs. ; Malt, Ireland 25 qrs., coastwise 16 qrs. ; Oats, Ireland 1176 qrs., coastwise 33 qrs. ; Beans, Ire land 36 qrs. ; Pease, Ireland 31 qrs. ; Oatmeal, Ireland 1023 lds„ coastwise 14 Ids: ; Flour, Ireland 758 sacks, coastwise 42 sacks, United States, 5138 brls.—Exports : Wheat, coastwise 207 qrs. ; Barley, coastwise 47 qrs. ; Malt, coastwise 75 qrs. ; Beans, coastwise 166 qrs. ; In dian corn, Ireland 3329 qrs., coastwise 156 qrs. ' • Indian corn meal, Ireland 20 brls. ; Flour, Ireland 270 brls. ; coastwise 120 sacks, 703 brls. Prices have declined throughout England during the week ; the only exceptions which have come under our notice being for the finest samples of new English Wheats, which at Newcastle upon-Tyne. and Great Waltham, near Chelmsford, took a slight advance,—in the latter case of from ls. to 2s. per quarter. In the Trish markets Wheat is in some cases a trifle lower; Flour sells slowly, and at Cork a reduction has been accepted to effect sales : Oats and Oatmeal are higher, except at Waterford, where best samples of the former have declined id. to 2d., and inferior 3d. to 4d. per barrel; Barley is about stationary; and Indian Corn and Meal are still descending, save at Waterford, where an advance of 3d. to Gd. per barrel has been realised on the week. We are further convinced, for the reason ad duced in this article last week—i. e., the continued silence about the Potatoes, and the sluggish demand for Indian Corn—that former accounts about the progress of disease have turned out to be in a great measure fabulous. This week's COTTON market has not equalled that of the previous week in the amount of business transact2:l, although the demand has not only been sufficient to main tain the better position then gained, but also to confer upon American descriptions below "fair" a slight advan tage, there being less choice upon the market. The sales on Saturday amounted to about 4,000 bales, chiefly American, at 3d. to 4d. per lb. The market remains very steady, at previous rates. About 700 bales sere taken for speculation and export. TO-DAY there has been a numerous attendance of spinners here, many of them induced, no doubt, to come down in anticipation of advices per steamer—the result of which per Britannia appear, as yet, to have caused Do change of moment in either buyer or seller, the market opening with a general and rather active demand, holders meeting it fairly at Saturday's extreme prices, which the buyers were com pelled to pay. The business estimated at upwards of 5,000 bales, the Hulk American, and chiefly in " good" ordinary to middling, with rather more inquiry for fair qualities. The amount of Cotton taken in speculation this year does not amount to one-fourth of that taken in 1847, a decrease being shown of 216,230 bales, while the increase of import is 435,335, and the increase of stock 8.4,000; but the quantity taken for consumption shows an increase of 258.400. The demand for AMERICAN LARD, which continued slack until the sales on Tuesday, has since revived, and a good business has been transacted by private at an advance of is. to ls. 6d. per cwt. ; the sales of Bacon and Pork have been pretty large, but prices are a little lower, except for " Mess" Pork, of which our stock is much reduced ; of 1000 boxes of Cheese offered at auction last week, 300 boxes were sold at rather lower prices ; and some Montreal Butter brought forward was withdrawn for higher terms, 625. being the bid. We have nothing to notice in other articles, and subjoin the quotations : Cheese—(duty paid)—Fine, 468 to 528 per cwt. ; 39s to 458 ; ordinary, 30s to 38s. Beef—lJ.S. (free)—Prime mess, per tree. 3041 b., 875 6d to 92s ed ; ordinary, SOs to 85s, old —s to —s; extra, family, &c., —s to —s; ditto, per half-barrel, 265 6d to 38s ;—mess, per barrel, 2001 b., —s to —s ; ordinary, 40s to 465, old —s to —s; prime, 3ts to 40s. * Pork- U.S. (free)—Prime mess, 35s to 555, old —s to —s per barrel, 2001 b.; prime, —s to —s, old —s to —s; mess, family mess, &c., 55s to 565, old —s to —s.

Lard—(free)—Fine, in kegs and barrels, 40s to 42s per cwt.; good, in do. do., 385 to 395; ordinary to middling, 36s to 37s ; inferior, arid g rease, 30s to 345. Butter—Canada, (duty paid,) 60s to 66s per wt. ; grease, (free,) 408 to 445. Soda Recuit—(duty paid)-26s to 28s per cwt. Apples—(duty paid)-12s to 25s per barrel. We noticed last week that some new laisn Beef had been brought into the market, at 92s 6d per tierce : this article is now offering on lower terms. Butter is again cheaper. There is plenty of English in the market, at a low price, and even the most saleable kinds of Irish have been pressed into the market at a reduction of 2s per cwt. to effect sales. In other articles ro change. The arrivals for the week ending this day are—Butter, 11,419 firkins, 506 crocks ; Bacon, 50 bales ; Hams, 2 hhds. We have to report an increase in the amount of transac tions in foreign Wool, this week, without material change in prices. The accounts from the country are hardly so favourable as they were. A fair business has been done in Alpaca at late rates. Scotch continues very dull, and the market being well supplied, there is more desire to sell. The transactions in Scotch PIG IRON have been again contracted in amount this week. Prices may be quoted 425. 6d. to 435. for No. 1, and 425. to 425. 6d. for No. 3, good brands. The Mining Journal states that the minina share market has much improved, and a conside ra ble amount of business has been transacted. A demand still exists for Devon Great Consols. and most of the dividend and favourite mines have had their inquiries. East Wheal Rose shares have been purchased, and buyers are still in the market. In Trelawney, West Caradon, Trehane, Carn Brea, South Basset, East Pool, Wheal Seton, and other shares, inquiries have been active. We copy the following particulars respecting the TIMBER trade from Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming's circular :—" The arrivals from British America since our report of 31st October consist of 14 vessels, 9,207 tons. The following have been the sales : Pine Timber : Of St. John's, one cargo 194 inches average sold at Is. 51d. ; one of 19 inches at Is. sd. ; one same size at ls. sid., and one of ISi inches at Is. 5d.. and a cargo of Dalhousie at ls.

COMPTON HOUSE ESTABLISHMENT. The before very extensive premises of Messrs. Jeffery and Morrish, in Church-street and Basnett-street, have recently been much enlarged ; the enterprising proprietors having, after some years of necessary delay and negotia tion, purchased the land at the corner o f t h e two streets, which was occupied by an old and respected tradesman, now retired. The ground in question is no t on l y i n t h e very centre of the greatest " shopping" thoroughfare of the town, but formed an hiatus, or awkward separation be tween the main entrances to Messrs. J. and M's buildings, facing, respectively, the two streets named. Their in.- it - lens° ranges of shops, (all communicating), are already so well known as a mart for cheap and elegant commo dities, in which ladies and house-keepers especially delight, that we are spared the trouble and the space which we would otherwise bestow upon them in description. We cannot, however, do less than state that the whole estab lishment has now become one of the lions of the town, and we may add that. there is none of equal magnitude and containing such a variety of drapery and other wares even in the metropolis itself. The new building, at the corner of the two streets is in the Roman style of architecture, designed by Mr. thigh, and highly decorative in itself, as well as in keeping, so far as that could be accomplished, with the adjoining buildings of the proprietors. It is four stories in height from the street, presenting below, in the facade in Basnett street, five tall windows with round arches above, and including two stories in height ; and two stories above a cornice which divides the building in height,—the first of these upper stories having square windows, and the highest or upper one round-topped windows, with inter mediate pilasters, decorative architraves, &c. The facade to Church-street presents two similar tall windows below (rising to two stories in height), one on each side of a main and wide entrance, which is surmounted by a round topped window to correspond, and enriched by a projecting stone ballustrade or balcony. The corner portion o the building is rounded, and in the second story there is a similar ballustrated window. Over the attic windows, in both frontages, there are pedimental cornices, the centre one in each being segmental, and those on each side of it triangular. The building terminates, in height, with these pediments, or window cornices, and we should prefer the addition of the blocking usual in the Grecian and, generally, in the Roman style ; but this resolves itself into a matter of taste. The windows are of great size, and are glazed with huge plates of glass set in polished brass mullions, with polished mahog ny frames. The building, in fine, is a commanding and ornamental object in the street, and is, as such, highly creditable to the enterprising parties concerned. The lower, or ground story of the new building, gives an interior addition to the premises of a " Shawl and Cloak Room," about 70 feet in length, and 38 in width. It is lighted from windows facing both streets, as well as from two large sheet-glass sky-lights. The roof is divided into square compartments between the beams, (which are of iron, though representing stucco work,) and these are supported in the centre by a row of six handsome empanelled pillars, with elegant foliated capitals. The panels of these will be finished in verd antique, and the mouldings in porphry. This large apartment is unobstructed by counters, and round the windows (on the two fronting sides) there is handsome panelled work in mahogany, formed in embayments. The whole floor is covered with elegant carpeting, and, front its extent, forms a fine promenade. The rooms above it are yet in an unfinished state. On a casual visit to the premises, on Saturday, we were politely shown through the entire of the buildings, from top to bottom, including the domestic department; and we were surprised by the extent and magnificence of the business portion, and even more so by the domeciliary. The building (for it may now be said to be one block) oc cupies the greater part of the ground, or oblong square, from the frontage in Church-street back to Leigh-street, and covers nearly 1,500 square yards. The decorative frontage to Church-street is about 31 yards in length, and that to Basnett-street 40 yards, besides back buildings, including a tall goods receiving warehouse. We may state that, on Saturday last, there were employed about 117 assistants and servants on the premises ; that there are separate well-furnished sitting-rooms and bed-rooms for the young gentlemen and ladies, nearly all of whom dome cile in the house ; that there is a fine library at their service, and that every inducement is held out to render the whole of the inmates, moral, happy, and domestic. No fewer than. 126 beds can be made up. The culinary department is appa rent perfection ; and gas is employed with great advantage (in place of smoky coal), in preparing the best of English fare for the tables, at which the assistants take their meals at three relays. Ventilation is greatly attended to, and the whole of the large family employed, appear to enjoy the best health and spirits. In the cellar apartments there is a quantity of curious machinery for the rapid measuring of pieces of cloth or other fabrics ; also ma chines for stamping the goods, &c. It would require nearly a day thoroughly to inspect the whole of the pre mises, and our rapid run through them, by numerous stairs, passagq, and apartments, up to five stories is height, can enable us only to state that we were both pleased and astonished. There are other commercial and trading establishments or buildings in the town which have, of late, been originated or greatly improved, which we shall have pleasure in noticing in succession, for with out individual preference, we feel proud of all increase in architectural improvements or domestic comforts in " the good old town." THE ECONOMIST AND THE LIVERPOOL CUR RENCY REFORM _ASSOCIATION. The Glasgow Examiner this week contains the follow ing remarks upon a controversy on the subject of foreign exchanges, which is going on between the above associa tion and Mr. James Wilson, of the Economist, in which the latter has exhibited thus far a disposition to hang fire, and is observed generally to have had the worst of it : " The Liverpool monetary reformers are taking up the view we have long held, that gold being both a commodity and a money, renders it impossible to have our foreign ex changes permanently on an easy footing while our imports of foreign commodities exceeds our exports, as they are likely to do, under Sir Robert Peel's irreciprocal system of free trade. Our Liverpool friends reply very cleverly to the shallow article of the Economist, showing that the export of every other commodity is a benefit to this coun try, or an evidence that our labour is being employed, while the export of gold is just the contrary in every re spect; so that the assertion of the Economist, that under a system of barter the effect on prices would be the same as under our present system of currency, is not correct." After giving some of his own opinions, our contempo rary continues :—" Since writing the foregoing we have re ceieved the Economist of Saturday last, which publishes the letter of the Liverpool Currency Association, and makes a most feeble attempt at a reply to it. Mr. James Wilson is. in fact, cornered, and his only chance of escape is the Liverpool men being soft enough to let him change the subject; but from what we know of their secretary, there is no chance of this." COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 11. (Sittings in Banco, before Justices COLTMAN, MAULS, and WILLIAMS.) OGDEN V. STANDISH. This was an action brought for a false return against the late Sheriff of Lancashire, which was tried at the spring assizes at Liverpool, in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages £l5O. The rule nisi, in arrest of judg ment, was granted on the ground of misdirection, and be cause the verdict was against evidence. It appeared that a person named Koeller, an exhibitor of poses plastiques., against whom a ca_nias ad satisfacienduni had been ob tained in London, went down to Liverpool to exhibit, and the writ was backed to the Sheriff of Lancashire, the plaintiff accompanying the bailiff to point him out on the stage of a theatre in the Liverpool Zoological Gardens, where he was exhibiting. He was pointed out, and the officer thought it not then prudent to effect the capture, fearing a rescue, and several subsequent attempts at capture failed, different persons of his company, who had disguised themselves, being mistaken for him. The Sheriff there upon returned non est inventus. The plea was " .Not Guilty." The first question raised was, whether under this plea the defendant could give in evidence circumstances justifying the Sheriff for not making the arrest in the first instance. The Court held that he could not. The second question raised was, that the learned judge, Mr. B aron Rolfe, who tried the case. in directing the jury that the Sheriff ought to have taken care to have had a sufficient power to make the arrest in the first instance,.he having the posse cornitatus at his back, had laid down the duty of the Sheriff in too wide terms ; but the Court were of opi nion that he had not, It was for a long time doubtful whether a return of a rescue could be held to be a good return, and sheriffs were so little favoured that it had been held that if a debtor were lodged in gaol, and on habeas corpus were ruscued on his way to chambers, the sheriff was held liable (" Crompton v. Ward," 1 Str., 430). That case had a distinct bearing on the present. The principle laid down in the book was, that a sheriff was bound to provide such a force as would enabie him to capture the debtor in spite of any reasonable resistance that he might expect. In the case referred to it was argued that by a parity of reasoning the sheriff ought to be provided with force enough to keep the prisoner when arrested ; but the answer was, (in indulgence to the sheriff), that he could not always have the posse comitatus with him, and that, therefore, the return of a rescue was a good return. But that indulgence ought not to be extended. The only re maining ground was that the verdict was against evidence ; but the Court agreed with thelearned judge who tried the case, that the verdict was not unsatisfactory. The rule, therefore. ought to be discharged. Rule discharged accordingly. S TEALING BUTTER. —Yesterday at the police court two young men, John M`Manus and John Macdonald, were charged with stealing from a shop,—Mr. Barrett's, in Cheap-side, a crock of butter worth 10d. per pound. They declined to say anything in their defence, and both, as the case was proved against them, were committed for trial. _ _ . cssocinn''ie few hours, . m ..g . eei al tt;aeavrfeteer. ....... ex perienced a good deal of the gloom and severity of winter, e TH E WEATHER.—During the past week, and a frost coming, which continued during the following knowns c u o l c d ce d e a d yw e , d i however, ishnionwthe and s l month.e b e y t some fely nt 1 l of e kt Wednesday c forfi n. day, the hills, fields, and house-tops exhibited a snowy mantle nearly two inches in thickness in some places. On Friday, the temperature relaxed; the thermometer at noon rising to 46 degrees. The barometer soon after in dicated nearly "set-fair," to the surprise of many parties, who, from the then,pppearance of the sky, an d t h e d amp chillness of the air. expected a fall of rain or snow. We looked at several barometers, doubting the accuracy of the first we saw, and found them all nearly alike, and, as it turned out, perfectly true ; for the hazy clouds soon after dispersed, and the air became gradually mild. We have since enjoyed pleasant sunny weather, rarely so mild (Ind dry at this period of the year. to luF ors , are, uch will ion ion, hts, sses the or ing ini lea, sed ear the rav Cl', the ear eI S o' ist, rise dge s A -1 1 0 9 i 111ng
