Read the follow ing :—. " To Messrs. Pearson & Co., 110, London-road, Liverpool. — Gentlemen,—l have mild) pleasure in making you acquainted with the great benefits I have realised in the use of Hollings worth's American Indian Sugar-coated Pills. For six months I bad been afflicted with severe pains in my,side, stomach, and back ? attended also with great loss of appetite. In the hope of alleviating my sufferings, I applied tgveral medical advisers, tried a variety of means, and spent Mich money, but all to to 6/t e good purpose, for notwitlistandin all the medicines I took, I still got worse; and to such ast of weakness was I reduced, that it was with great difficu I could walk up stairs. My stomach so loathed my fo , that I became extremely weak and hopeless, and expecte of to live to see another Christmas day. Providentially ! iced an advertisement in the Liver pool Mereurv, desc ing the renovating properties of your palatable Pills; I cured a box at your establishment, and made a trial by t Mg a dose morning and evening for about two weeks, according to the printed directions; and now I am happy in stating publicly, that the use of the Pills has removed my distressing pains, and fully restored my appetite, so that I may say I have risen from neer death's door. Any person calling at my residence may have every information. Although the time is so short since I first commenced taking your medi cine, I find my strength so increased that I can attend to my domestic affairs with pleasure. I mean to take a (lose of Pills daily until I feel not a vestige of my late distressing complaint remains. You are at liberty to make this public, and use it in any way you think proper, for the benefit of My fellow-sufferers. Hoping all that are afflicted as I have been may use and realise the same benefits from your medicine, I remain,yours grate- fully, " ELfZAI3ETH WRIGHT. " 3, Watkinson's-buildings, Pembroke-place, Liverpool." THE AMERICAN INDIAN SUGAR-COATED PILLS carry oft'all impure matter, purge the bowels and all the fluids, Cause a • FREE AND HEALTHY CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD, give tone to the stomach, liver, lungs, and every organ of the • human body, and thus prevent, alleviate, and CURE COMPLAINTS OF EVERY KIND, because THEY STRIKE AT THE ROOT OF DISEASE, and remove the cause : they cannot be taken according to di rections without decided benefit. Being enveloped with a coating of sugar perfectly disguises the taste of the medicine, and they are so agreeable that children will take them with pleasure.—Sold Wholesale and Retail by PEARSON & CO., 110, LONDON -ROAD, LIVERPOOL, to whom all communications must be addressed.

The arrival of intelligence that an armistice for 45 days has been concluded between the Austrians and Pied montese, and that one is also on the tapis between the Danes and Germans, has produced a much better feeling on 'Change than for some days past; but although this expression of satisfaction has been pretty general, we can not report any actual improvement in the price or amount of the transactions of the day. The Share-market here has been very dull, and most ljnes somewhat lower. Consols throughout the week have shown a disposition to fall, mainly owing to the late unfavourable harvest wea ther, and closed on Saturday, after having receded to 8511, at 85-1 to 86. In another part of our paper will be found a paragraph headed " trade returns," in which the consumption of the chief articles contributing to the revenue of the coun try and the comforts of the people are shown to have con siderably increased. In connexion with this, we cannot refrain from drawing attention to the increase in the amount of tea consumed during the first seven months of this year in the United Kingdom, which shows the im mense difference of upwards of 2,500,000 th contrasted with the same period last year, being nearly ten per cent. upon the entire consumption. The Sugar market for the last two or three days has been rather quiet. The sales are 200 hhds. Demerara, 120 hhds. Barbadoes, 50 hhds. Porto Rico, 600 mats Mauritius, and a few Bengals, at prices slightly in favour of the buyers.—A better business has been concluded in Rum. 200 puncheons Demerara fetched 2s. 6cl. to 25.53'. 1 ,. for 33 to 35 per cent., and 2s. Ild. for a good nark. 200 puncheons East India, Is. Bd. for proof gn.—Bengal rice moves off steadily at former prices : say , 9t. 6d. to 12s. 6d. for low middling to fine white.—Saltpetre, continues much neglected, and to effect sales lower rates would have been taken.—ln Mincing-lane there has been little alteration during the week. Business has taken place to a moderate extent, but, although importers generally have not felt disposed to realize unless at full prices, there has not been much activity. The sugar market has presented a steady appearance throughout, and the prices paid by gro cers and refiners have been about equal to former quota tions. In West India, however, some sales have been ef fected on lower terms. Although a fair business has been transacted in CorroN since our last, the tendency then noticed to lower prices has increased to a quotation for common and middling Americans, which are id. lower on the fortnight. The import for the week ending Friday was 32,338; the stock previously, 596,019 ; the sales, 29,290, of which 1,800 were on stleculation. and 6.290 for export, loavior a stock of Cotton in the port of 600,867, which was 204397 bales more than at the sane time last year. The stock of American was 451,955, being 144,155 hales more than at the same period last year. The apparent weekly con sumption up to Friday was 26,188, against 21,154 at the same period last year. The sales on SATURDAY were about 5,000 bales, chiefly American, at 34d. to sd. per lb., with a steady market at previous prices. About 600 bales were taken for export. TO-DAY 5,000 bales were sold, 500 of which were for export, prices remaining unchanged. The public sales of colonial and foreign Wool, which were held here on the 10th and 11th inst. drew together one of the most numerous attendance of buyera we ever had. The quantity offered was 800 Port Philip, 387 South Australian, 485 Cape, 915 East India, 1380 Peruvian, and 412 Russian, Egyptian, Oporto, &c. The biddings for the Australians and Cape were very spirited tbrougl out, and the result is very satisfactory. An advance of ld. to 11d. per lb. may be quoted on the late London sales. The greater portion of the East Indies was sold at about late rates. Almost the whole of the Peruvians met with buyers.—lmports for the week : Foreign, from Nanles 20, Constantinople 80, Oporto 12, previously 47,973 ;—Scotch, 320; previously, 6860. The market for Scotch Pig IRoN has been quiet during the week, and a fall in price may be expected from de mands falling off for the States. Sales have been made at 455. No. 1, and 445. 6d. No. 3, free on board, nett cash. The continuance of unsettled weather having produced a feeling of uncertainty as to the safety of the crops, all articles of the CORN trade are held here with more firm ness. Indian Corn is ls. to Is. 6d. dearer; and Wheat, having recovered from the slight depression of Friday, realizes the full prices of Tuesday last. Floating cargoes are also in good demand, and rather dearer. The trade is undoubtedly influenced in some degree by the serious reports which reach us from all quarters about the POTATOES. The accounts from most parts of England, and nearly all south of the Humber, are more unfavoura ble than heretofore. In Lincolnshire and Northampton shire it is not expected that a healthy Potato will be found at the end of two months. Letters from Ireland, of the late dates subjoined, are of similar tendency :—Cork, Aug. 11 : The disease is general, and malignant in cha racter; still we think, from the largeness or the crop, a vast deal will he available for food.—Lismore, Avg. 10: The disease increases daily ; it is of such a nature as in 1846.—Youghal, Aug. 11: The accounts grow more and more unfavourable ; the fields are completely changed from green to black ; and the only hope is that the roots will not be attacked in the destructive manner which followed the same external indications in 1846. Limerick, Aug. 12: The precarious state of the Potato crop excites the deepest interest, and it may reasonably be feared that the decay of the leaf and stalk everywhere observable indicates an unsoundness in the root which will peril its holding through the winter, when consigned to pits in the usual way. As yet, the apparent disease attached to the root is partial, compared with the unmis takeable generality of decay in the exterior of the plant; but the mischief seems to progress.—Belfast, Aug. 10 : I regret to say Mai disease spreads in the Potato crop; and such is the state of alarm, that everywhere the far mers arc raising tho crop, and in every way consuming it, which is of itself a serious evil, and only second in its consequences to the spread of disease over the entire crop. I would strongly recommend them to stop this raising of an immature crop, and try the experiment, which suc ceeded so well last year, of pulling all diseased stalks'out of the ground as they appear, and leave the Potato in its natural bed.—Waterford, Aug. 12 : Large quantities of Potatoes are brought to market, which meet a ready sale at 4d. to Gd. per stone; their quality appears excellent, but from all parts of this district very unfavourable re ports are received of the spread of disease in the leaves and stems.— Cappoquin, Aug. 11: Within the last few days the Potatoes have withered very much. The TIMBER trade here, though not so active as it usually is at this period of the year, is yet, comparing it with most trades, in an improving condition. For square Timber the demand is good, and the merchants buy freely from the importers who are willing to meet the market, though some are sanguine of an advance taking place in the price of square Timber, and are holding it at rather above the current rates. The week's arrivals from Bri tish America consist of 14 vessels, 6716 tons ; and the following are the sales reported : Quebec Pine, one cargo was sold at 14d., two at 144 d., and one at 1 lid. per foot; Red Pine at 174 d. to 18d. ; Elm in every instance at Ind., and Oak at 21d. to 22d. per foot. Quebec Deals with cargoes have been sold at ..L6 10s. to ..L8 per std., and with one cargo, in lieu of Deals the buyer was made an allowance of *2 per std.

At auction, on Thursday, 7s. 3d. for good quality was bid, ex ship, but was withdrawn for 7s. 6d. Spirits of Turpentine move off slowly at 345. LINSEED CAKES are wanted, and as the season for consumption is approaching, higher prices may be looked for. HEMP is rather dearer, 200 bales dew rotted having been disposed of at £24 per ton. ROSIN continues very steady at 2s. 9d. for common and 6s. for fine qualities. In consequence of the advanced price asked for Philadelphia QUERCITRON BARK, there has been more inquiry for the other descriptions, and 30 hhds. 170 bags New York sold at Bs. 6d., and 1,700 bags Baltimore at Bs. per cwt. There has been an active demand for AMERICAN Bacon, at full prices : the stock is much reduced, 1200 boxes having been sold during the week. Hams sell freely, and more money is obtainable for Shoulders. The prices of Pork take the full range of the subjoined quotations, ac cording to quality. There is very little Beef on the mar ket, and high prices being demanded, the trade purchase only to supply immediate wants, at previous rates. We have bad a little fine Cheese selling this week, an article ii hich has been excluded from our quotations for some time past; the total amount offered by auction last week was 2,330 boxes, and nearly the whole was cleared off ;- Cheetie-(dlity paid)-Fine, 48s to 50s per cwt.; middling, 40s to 43s ; ordinary, 25s to 335.

Grease Butter - (duty paid) -56 s Od to 55s Gd per cwt. Soda B:seuit-(duty paid)-26s to 28s per cwt. The growth of grass being promoted by the prevailing wet weather, a larger quantity of home-made BUTTER has been brought into the market than was expected; the demand for mists Butter during the week has been proportionately small, and at the close holders in vain. offered to submit to a decline of ls. per cwt. In all pros. bability more of the latter will be made this season than we shall have consumption for. Other articles in the Irish Provision trade also move slowly, in consequence of the cheapness of American.

L&1 EST INTE LLI9gNe E. (By EXPRESS.) MONEY MARKET. YESTERDAY. Consols opened rather below the closing rates of Saturday, but subsequently recovered all the difference, and are a shade better than before, at 86* to 4 both for money and time. Re duced Threes, 83* to 4. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 866 to 7. Exchequer Bills, 335. to 373, premium. Rank Stock; 197 to 9. • LONDON SHARE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. The Share market has improved. We now quote London and North Westerns, 118 to 20 ; Great Westerns, 81 to 3 ; North Staffords, 311- to dis. ; Great Northerns, 9i to f die. ; Shrews bury and Birminghains are lower, at 64 to 6 dis. French shares are good; Northern of France, 6i to 4 die. LONDON CORN MARKET.—YEsTERnAIr. It has rained almost without ceasing during the night and throughrut the morning, and all harvest operations must have been greatly interfereewith, and continuance of such weather will inevitably prove highly injurious to the crops. Most ac counts, however, agree that up to Saturday evening little da mage had actually been 'done. Our market was tolerably well supplied with English Wheat by land-corriage samples from the near counties, for which a considerable advance upoti last Monday's rates was asked; millers, however, were not dis posed to accede to the factors' demands, and eventually the bulk of the Essex supply was taken, on speculation, at an im provement of 3s per quarter upon that day's rates. The Kentish Wheat was sold at about 2s. inore inimpv thpn last week. foreign vi heat, both tree and in Mono, was held for 2s. advance, with which buyers would not comply, and very little business was transacted. Barley in fair request, and is. per quarter dearer, Oats we:e a rather better sale, at the extreme quotations of Monday last. Beans and Peas supported their previous value. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTER DAY. The supply of beasts is shorter, especially of choice qualities, which are consequently dearer. We have a fair supply of Sheep and Lambs ; for the former trade is about the same as of late, but for the latter there is scarcely any demand; they are worth no more per lb. than sheep. Calves are lower. MINCING-LANE.-YESTERDAY. The weather and the advance in Corn has induced buyers of Rice to give an advance of about 6d., in the face of the large sales advertised for to-morrow. Report states that unfavour able accounts of the Potato disease in Holland and Belgium were received by the mail. In other articles no variation. SHAMEFUL AND CRUEL HOAX, On Friday, throughout the day, the neighbourhood of Sydney street, Brompton, was the scene of en extraordinary excite ment. At ten in the morning, the inmates of the house, No. 42, in that street, were molested by a succession of applicants fJr a clerk's situation, which had been advertised in the Times newspaper, in terms likely to secure a vast influx of candidates. As time advanced, the rumbers increased; two crowds of dis appointed applicants were soon collected, one near the house, the other at the upper end of the street, leading into Fulham road; and the inconvenience became so great, as to induce the occupant of No. 42 to seek the assistance and advice of the notice. Six waggon loads of coals bad also been ordered in by the same malicious party, and a heap of letters, more than would fill a policeman's bat, were delivered by the let ter carriers. From these it appeared that, besides the adver• tisement for clerks, another for housekeepers had been in serted; the cl r:.s being appointed to call between ten and twelve, and again between four and seven in the evening, and the intervening hours from twelve to four 1 eing set apart for the housekeepers. Accordingly soon after twelve, the differ ent omnibuses along the Fulham-road began to set down ft number of females of different ages and classes ; some of an inferior appearance, but very many respectably dressed women and not a few in widow's weeds. The expected inroad of housekeepers having come to the knowledge of the disappointed clerks, some of them were induced t o rema i n , t i eir indignation having passed into mirth, and a desire to see the fun out. Idlers too began to collect in lorge numbers. One young man had come upwards of a hundred miles froM the country by railway, at a considerable expense; his friends having urged him not to run the risk of losing the situation for want of a personal application. The Scotch Marriage Bill, which would have prevented Gretna Green marriages, has been postponed till next session. The steamer Sultan brought to bouthampton, on Saturday week, .e 250,000 in specie from the Black Sea. On Saturday a woman was found with her throat cut on Shaw-hill Common, Wilts. She has since died. A ruffian, who afterwards make an attack on a clagynian, is supposed to be the murderer. VULCANIZED INDIAN RUBBER.—SO numerous and useful are the articles now manufactured of Indian rubber, that an establishment exclusivAy devoted to their sale has been established by Mr. Walker, in South Castle-street. No conception can be formed of the usefulness of many articles now produced, but an inspection will gratify any observer. Mc OR GAME.—We should have forgotten the auspicious day for connoisseurs—the 12th of August,—had it not been for the announcement of the worthy host of the Brunswick, who advertises his rarely-cooked venison and gime in our paper to-day. Whiteman, like all connected with the houses of royalty, secures the varieties of the market whenever in season, and the moderate scale of charges he adopts induces many to partake of his passing excellent fare. The town will bear us cu' in saying that, as a caterer, " we shall ne'er look upon his like again." THE ROYAL STANDARD HOTEL.—It will be seen, on reference to our advertising columns, that Mrs. Rowlands, the respected relict of Mr. C. S. Rowlands, the late . relieving officer of this parish, has taken the above hotel, which has been so greatly improved as to render it one of the most capacious in Liverpool. 'No man was more respected in life than the late Mr. Rowlands ; and as the loss of his existence—a loss to a family insurmountable— is mainly attributable to his unceasing desires to alleviate the wants of the suffering poor, it is but fair to presume that a discerning public will, by their patronage, manifest their condolence with his family. • RUIN OF THE DUKE OF BUCKIN'GIIAM. — We are only saying what is notorious, and what therefore it is neither a novelty nor a cruelty to repeat, that the most noble and puissant prince, his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, is at this moment an absolutely ruined and destitute man. And worse than all !it is notorious that the Duke, by the use of a passionate persuasion, has induced his son, now in his 25th year, to cut off the entail of all the property in which his Grace was interested. The Duke has persuaded his son to sign away his birth ri'ht, and to divide it among creditors who had no sort of claim upon the son's reversion, whatever th e y m i g ht h ave u pon the father's interest. SALE OF THE GREAT BRITAIN.—It will be observed that this vessel is shortly to be offered for sale by public . competition. We have frequently said that we consider . her one of the finest (and she is the largest) iron ships afloat, whether as regards beauty and adaptation of model, or strength and fiLlity in build. She would be suitable for many trades, or for war, where a large vessel is re quired. It will be seen that Messrs. Tonge, Currie, and Co., the extensive brokers for the sale of ships at this port, are appointed to negotiate the sale; and as they are themselves conversant with nautical matters, and have had long experience in the vending and buying of ships, we feel assured they will do ample justice, and make " due presentation" in behalf both of the vendors and others who may offer themselves as purchasers. The salt will, no doubt, attract art immense concourse of mer chants, shipoisners, and others. i~
