COURT OF EXCHEQUER-TIIVASDAY Sittings in Banco IRLEY AND OTHERS V. THE INHABITANTS OF SALFORD. This was an action brough uerty ha " • t by certain persons whose pro- Manchester to re- nensation from the hundred, under the statute 7 o. IV., c. 31, for the damage done by the riotous y. The cas e was tr i e d at L iverpoo l, an d a verdict or the plaintiffs on all the issues save one, and on ssue a verdict was taken for the defendants. The plea issue was raised was that found for the de le effect that the borough of Manchester was a idependent of the hundred of Salford, and that Municipal Corporations Act (5 and 6 Wm. IV., 0) the borough was exclusively liable to pay for any dam e done by rioters. cover corn and 8 Ge which tb borough in under the - Mr. KNOWLES on a former day having obtained a rule to show cause why a verdict found for the defendant on the third issue should not be set aside, and the verdict returned for the plaintiff en that issue also. Mr. WORTLEY was now heard in opposition to the rule. He admitted that the liability of the hundred depended mainly on the provisions of the statute 7 and 8 George IV., c. 31. The 12th section of that statute enacted, that where the damage is committed in any county of a city or town, or place, the inhabitants whereof do not contribute to any county rate, or who contribute thereto, but not as being part of any hundred or other like district, such place shall be lia ble like the hundred. He contended that since the passiug of the Municipal Corporation Act the borough of Manchester fell within the description contemplated by this section. He could not deny that the borough contributed to the county rate, but he insisted that such contribution was not made as being part of the hundred, but was made by the borough, as a borough, out of the borough fund. If this view of the case was correct, the action should have been brought, not against the borough o: Salford, but against the borough of Manches ter' which, under the statute 7 and 8 G eorge IV., was li a bl e , "like the hundred." The COURT, without hearing counsel in support of the rule, determined that the hundred of Salford was liable. The inhabitants of the borough of Manchester certainly contri buted to the county rate as being part of the hund re d o f Salford, and therefore did not come under the stipultaion contained in the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., c. 31, s. 12. It was true the county rate was paid by the borough, and other parts of the hundred in different proportions. A separate account was kept against the borough, for the expenses of criminal prosecutions, and the maintenance and transport of borough offenders. The borough continued in common, however, with other parts of the hundred, to certain general expenses, such as the repairs of bridges and roads within the hundred, the salaries of the gaoler and chaplain, and some others. To these expenses the inhabitants of Manchester were liable to contribute, as part of the hundred of Salford, and the hundred of Salford was liable to the damages in curred in consequence of the riotous proceedings within the borough. The court was of opinion, therefore, that the ver dict had been wrongly entered for the defendant at the trial, and that the rule must be absolute to enter it for the plaintiff on the third as well as the other issues. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—THURSDAY. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. FEARGUS O'CONNOR AND OTHERS A certain degree of excitement had been created by the announcement that these defendants were to be brought up for judgment. and on the opening of the doois all the avail able seats of this inconvenient court were at once filled. The Attorney-General prayed judgment against the defen dants, who had been convicted of unlawfully aiding and abet ting others in doing certain acts charged as unlawful. Lord Denman said, that the officer of the court had in formed the judges that some of the parties convicted at the assizes were not here. That made no difference with respect to the present proceedings. The court could proceed to pass sentence on those that were present, and they would have a right, notwithstanding the absence of their fellows, to say anything they might think fit in arrest of judgment. The following defendants answered to their names : Feargus O'Connor, Richard Otley, G. J. Harney, William Hill, John Arran, William Aitkin, S. Challenger, Samuel Parkes, D. Railton, William Woodruff, (all of whom were convicted on the fifth count only,) and J. Leach, C. Doyle, Jonathan Bairstow, J. Arthur, T. Cooper, R. Brooke, John Durham, James Fenton, James Mooney, and Frederick Augustus Taylor. Mr. Dundas, who appeared for R. Brooke, moved an arrest of judgment on the fifth count, on the ground that there was no venue stated in it ; and on the fourth count, on the ground that the statement of the offence was insuffi cient. Counsel for the other prisoners having been heard in support of the same objections, a rule was granted to show cause why the judgment should not be arrested.—The At torney-General having asked when the court would hear the ,case again, a conversation took place on the subject, and it 'was finally settled that the rule should be argued on the se cond day of next term.—The Attorney-General said, that he did not think it would be necessary for the defendants to come up again in person.—The court assented to this, and the defendants entered into their own recognizances to appear when called upon, and left the court. FRIDAY THE QUEEN V. T. COOPER AND G. RICHARDS These two defendants appeared on the floor of the Court to receive judgment on a conviction for having been guilty of conspiracy and seditious practices. Both defended in per son, and tendered affidavits in mitigation of punishment, and addressed the Court at great length. The sentence was, that Cooper should be imprisoned in the gaol of Stafford for the term of two years ; and Richards to be imprisoned in the same gaol for the term of one year; the difference made being on account of the advanced age of Richards, and the imprisonment be had already undergone. ADMIRALTY COURT-FRIDAY, MAY 5 THE ST. PETERSBURGH.-SALVAGE The vessel in this case was an American ship of 814 tons, with a cargo of cotton, from New Orleans to Liverpool, which, on the 13th of January, during very violent weather, off the mouth of the Mersey, in the neighbourhood of the Mad-wharf (a dangerous bank,) and the Formby-bank, in the passage of the Crosby-channel, got into a very perilous position. She had lost all her masts and her rudder; she had six feet water in her hold, the leak was gaining, and the vessel was filling fast; and the master was meditating run ning her upon the beach, to save the cargo and their lives. In expectation of some accident occurring through the state of the weather, the Liverpool Steam-Tug Company had despatched one of their steamers (the Albert) and a life-boat, which, upon receiving intelligence of the distress of the St. Petersburgh, proceeded to her assistance. In towing her into Crosby-channel, the steamer's power could not prevent the water-logged vessel from getting upon the Jordan flats. The Albert proceeded to Liverpool and procured the co-ope ration of another of the company's steamers (the Victoria,) and by their joint assistance the American ship was brought into the port of Liverpool. The value of the ship and cargo was about £20,000. A tender of £lOOO had been made and refused. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Addams, for the salvors, argued that the sum offered was inadequate; that the ♦essel was almost a derelect, and that life as well as property had been saved by the steam-vessels and life-boat. Dr. Haggard and Dr. Curteis, for the owners, admitted that the vessel was in want of assistance, for which the owners were ready to pay, and they had offered a 20th part of the property. Dr. Lushington, in delivering judgment, said—The main facts set forth in the act on petition on behalf of the salvers, and amply supported by their affidavits, have scarcely any one been denied in the answer made on the part of the owners. The facts being admitted, the defence resorted to by the owners is, that if the assistance had never been ren dered at all, but the vessel had been allowed to follow her own course, she would have come into a place of safety—a place of so great safety, that she might have been brought up to Liverpool, together with the cargo, at comparatively a trifling expense. I must first briefly consider the facts upon which the claim of salvage is founded, and afterwards whe ther the defence, as set up on the part of the owners, is so well founded as to take from the merits of the salvors, and to cause me to pronounce for the tender in question. It will not be necessary, in this investigation, to enter minutely into all the circumstances so amply detailed in these proceedings, for the reasons to which I have already adverted, viz., that the main and most material facts are not contradicted on the part of the owners. It is sufficient, then, to say, that in consequence of a storm which took place on the night of the 13th January, this vessel was reduced to a situation of very great distress, and no doubt, at one period during that night, wa s in the most imminent danger; because, in the protest itself, it is admitted that the vessel struck about half-past three, a.m., in about five or six fathom of water, and conti nued to strike very hard. Fearing she would go to pieces, they cleared away their longboat to try to save their lives, and to lighten her they stove their water-casks and so forth. They found, at five in the morning, that the vessel had then 7 feet water in the hold. She had previously lost all her masts, her rudder was gone, and she had lost two anchors and cables, though she had a kedge anchor and a cable still left. At five they hoisted signals of distress, the life-boat being in sight; and finding the ship filling fast, and the life boat not approaching them at that period, they fitted up a jury foremast, got a hawser from the starboard quarter to the starboard chain cable to pay her off, slipped the chains, hoisted a sail on jury mast, and, when she fell before the wind, they cut the hawser with the intention of running her on the beach, to save the cargo and their lives. Now this, according to the description given by the master and crew, was the state and condition of this vessel during the morning of the 14th, and up to the period which I must now more particularly notice, when the salvors came to their assistance. I cannot help here referring with great admiration to the regulations which seem to have been prescribed for the ma nagement of these steam-vessels, together with the life-boat. F o r it is exceedingly praiseworthy that orders should have b ee n issued by the company, that, in all cases whatever, so great a preference should be given to the saving of life over t h e preservation of property ; and furthermore, that where assistance could be rendered to vessels of another descrip tion,they were to proceed to the cases most difficult, and in their great power and efficiency might effect the pre waehrvicahtion of life and property. The storm having been ex pected on the night of the 13th, preparations were made for a steamer to proceed to sea, in the expectation or conviction that the assistance of such vessel would be rendered necessary. The Albert accordingly, accompanied by the life-boat, proceeded on the morning of the 14th, and after the occurrence of certain circumstances, which it is not necessary to particularise ; with respect to the other vessel she went on till she discovered this vessel, the St. Petersburgh, i n the condition already described. Now, it is not an unim portant circumstance that the signal of distress was flying at this very time; it is distinctly so sworn in the affidavit of the salvors, and it is not alleged on the part of the owners that it was at any time taken down. The Albert having approached t he vessel without any hesitation whatever, as it would appear, the assistance which was proferred was accepted ; she took the vessel in tow and proceeded with her towards Liverpool, but owing to the very great weight of the vessel—she at that time had many feet of water in her, though the precise quantity does not very distinctly appear, furthermore than as 1 have already stated ; she had seven feet in her at five o'clock, and that the master and crew state that the vessel was fast filling, and consequently there must have been much more water at nine or ten o'clock in the morning. At half-past eleven she struck heavily on Jordan's Flat, and the tide then ebbing it was impossible she could be got off. It is said this arose from a deficiency of strength on the part of the Albert. In one sense it may be true. The Albert might not have been of sufficient power alone to have effected the salvage of this vessel; but it is also to be taken into consideration that such was the size of the vessel—such was her disabled con dition--such was the quantity of water in her—that it was not reasonable, I think, to be expected that any one vessel could have been perfectly competent to the task. The only possible effect such a circumstance would have upon my mind would be, that I should not give precisely the same rate of salvage to salvors, however deserving, who are not perfectly c apable at once to effect the object they have in view. She re mained upon this sand till the afternoon. With regard to the c i rc umstances that occurred as to the crew quitting the ship, a s to their getting on board the life-boat and being conveyed o the port of Liverpool, I am of opinion that they have important bearing on the case ; because, assuming nit the vessel for fear of their lives—assuming that tolea true representation of the state of the case,' that l e aving the vessel did not arise from any thing that occurred to the persons on board the life-boat—it never can be sup posed that there was an intention of utterly abandoning the s hip and cargo. It is only Upon the ground of an utter abandonment of a ship and cargo that a derelict should be s aid perfectly to take place. The Albert proceeds to Liver pool, and In the afternoon the Victoria came to the assistance of the St. Petersburg, and it is represented—and really for anything that I see - to the contrary in the proceedings, I think truly represented—that with great energy and with great exertion, with considerable risk to the damage of the steamers themselves, the vessel was piloted into a port of safety in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. Looking at the value of the ship and cargo, and looking at the exertions made, I should have in the first instance to determine, if the case rested here, whether the tender of £l,OOO was a sufficient tender with reference, as I have said, to the degree of dis tress, the merit of the assistance, and the value of the pro perty saved. If the case rested here, I should have very little or no hesitation in saying that the tender was insuf ficient; because I think the property was in the greatest possible peril—because I think the assistance afforded was most meritorious—because I am of opinion, that when such a pbwer as that possessed by steamers is called into exer tion, to render services which no other vessel could ren der, they are entitled to very high salvage reward. But it now becomes my duty to pronounce my opinion upon the defence set up ; and with regard to that defence, I must confess, I think the court has been left in more difficulty than it ought to have been ; because, it having been distincly affirmed in the defence, that if this vessel had been permitted to be beached, she would have been in a state of safety, both as to the lives of those on board and the cargo. Issue having been directly taken on that point, on the part of the salvors, there is not one atom of evidence to support the statement. I am, therefore, left in a painful situation in considering the effect of the evidence ; upon the other side that evidence is equally unsatisfactory to my mind, for what is the nature of the evidence to support the averment? Beyond all question, those who admit ser vices, and set up a defence of this description, are bound by the strongest and clearest affirmative evidence to satisfy my mind that that defence is founded in fact. Now, the evi dence that I have consists in certain persons swearing, with out assigning any reason or cause whatever, that this vessel, if beached, would have been in a situation of comparative safety. But how could she have been so beached,—what would t p h a e r t ot state t tehaeucoastcondition would ohfave that b been beach s on which e lec te d A come, and what were the circums tances that would have shset o w u l d at h was worked this miraculous preservation, the court is left totally in the dark. The court is not satisfied with any part of this case ; in the first place that this vessel could have been beached in one particular direction ; for, looking to the cir cumstances in which she was placed, having nothing but a jurymast, almost waterlogged, without rudder, anchor, or cable, the wind, although moderate, yet the weather not altogether moderated, any change of wind, any unfore seen circumstances which arose would, in my opinion, in all human probability have prevented her being beached in a convenient situation. It might have utterly pre vented the vessel being beached at all, and I am not satisfied that she could have been beached in the most con venient situation—nay, there is not one fact or circumstance set forth in any one of the affidavits to satisfy my mind that, if beached, she would have been in a state of safety. It will not do in this or other courts for parties to produce positive affidavits swearing the things will be so, without stating the circumstances rendering it probable. The court must have the means of judging for itself, and cannot take it for granted merely upon the strength of the asseverations with which it may be affirmed. I feel, therefore, in much uncertainty as to both ; but, then, there comes another consideration into this part of the case. If all this is, as now stated, on the part of the owners, I am utterly at a loss to understand how it comes to pass that the assistance of the steamers was so readily accepted, and that the signal for assistance still con tinued to fly. I have been told that there was no danger to the lives of the parties, because if the vessel had got on the Formby Bank, the life-boat might have gone out with perfect facility, and have rendered any assistance that was necesssary. But it so happens that not only is that not stated on the part of the owners, but the negative is stated by Eccles himself ; for, he says, that at the time he approached her no life-boat, from Formby Point or elsewhere, could have come out to her assistance. But I must again ask the question, if there was this entire confidence reasonably to be enter tained that by prosecuting their original intention of beaching the vessel. at some expense, the lives of the crew might have been saved? Why was it no mention was made of it at the time ? At any rate this is abundantly clear, that compared with the safety which beaching the vessel would have procured, according to the statement on the part of the owners, they consider the acceptance of the steamer infi nitely the preferable course, therefore according to the cir cumstances under which they formed a judgment at that time, they could not by possibility have entertained that con fidence of prosecuting their course, and beaching the vessel, which they now state they verily do believe to have been the case. Then, looking at all these circumstances with regard to this defence, I feel myself bound to come to this conclu sion, though I have arrived at it with more difficulties to en counter than ought to have been experienced, that the affir mative is not made out. Whether she could have been beached or no is a matter of extreme uncertainty ; and whe ther the ship and cargo could have been preserved is involved in contingencies, the probability of which it is impossible for the court to estimate. I am, therefore, of opinion that the defence fails ; I think the tender insufficient, and I shall add another £l,OOO. It is said that his Excellency the Earl de Grey, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, has directed a supersedeas to issue against eleven magistrates in Ireland who have taken part in the repeal agitation.

His lordship, of course, declined to accede to the application.—Dublin Paper- LINCOLN'S INN, MAY 4.—The following gentlemen were this day called to the degree of Barrister-at-Law by the Ho nourable Society of Lincoln's-inn, viz. :—John Thos. Betts, jun., Esq., John Edmund Birmingham Curtis, Esq., Geo. Miller, Esq., Pierre Laterriere, Esq., Leofric Temple, Esq., Charles Price Green, Esq., Louis Petit, Esq., and Walter Grant James M`Grigor, Esq. THE TAXES.—It is now pretty well ascertained that an alteration in the assessed taxes is contemplated. The window duty, it is expected, will undergo alteration. Lay hold of those gentlemen who have set up " Tom and Jerry " gigs, with their names, &c., upon them. As returns are already making of assed taxes for the - present, year, . any alteration which may be made will not, we expect, take effect until next April..—London paper. . . The Liverpool Times has put into circulation a very foolish statement, to the effect that it is doubtful whether Sir Augustus D'Este is not the next lawful heir to the throne of Ireland after the descendants of the late Duke of Kent and the present King of Hanover. The writer seems not to have been aware, that by the act of union the English and Irish crowns are indissolubly united, and that they cannot be separately enjoyed by two distinct persons. That being so, unless Sir A. D'Este has some claim to the soverignty of England, he can have none to that of Ireland.—Leeds paper. QUESTIONING PRISONERS.—Mr. Justice Coleridge last week made the following remarks in reference to the conduct of a policeman who had put some questions to a person in his custody :—" An officer ought not to presume to question any party in custody, even though, as in that case, he first told him he need not answer unless he choose, and that if he did should use his answer in evidence against him. Neither a juror, nor even a judge, had a ►ight to put a single question to any accused person, as to a portion or circumstance of his life; and most undoubtedly a prisoner ought not to be ques tioned by the constable who had him in charge. If the pri soner chose voluntarily to make a statement, it was the duty of the officer to listen to it ; if the prisoner began a conversa tion, he did, to a certain degree, invite questions, and could not perhaps complain if they were put, but they ought never to be originated by any officer of justice to any accused per son whatever." PROPERTY TAX DEDUCTIONS.-Th.ose persons who have proved their exemptions from property tax for the past year, on account of their income not amounting to £l5O per annum, will, by direction of the Lords of the Treasury, be allowed to receive their dividends for the present year free of any deduction, provided the stock belonging to them remains in every respect the same as when the deduction for the tax was made for the last year. When any alteration has been made in the amount since the former deduction the parties entitled thereto will be paid their dividends, in full, provided their income has not increased to £l5O per annum, if,on or before the 27th of May they send to the office of Stamps and Taxes a statement of the amount and description of the stock in respect of which the exemption was allowed to them last year, and also a statement of the amount and description of the stock now held by them ; all such particulars to be stated on a form which may be obtained from the surveyor of the district in whi,ch they reside. COMMISSION OF LUNACY; SINGULAR EFFECT OF TRUN DER.-A commission of lunacy was opened on Tuesday, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, before Mr. Com missioner Winslow and a jury of sixteen gentlemen, to in quire into the state of mind of Mrs. Sarah Bird, a widow, aged 76, formerly of Lincoln's-inn, but now residing in George-street, Blackfriars-road, and possessed of consider able property. Mr. Dean, of the Chancery bar, appeared in support of the commission. It appeared that Mrs. Bird was the widow of a person who formerly carried on business as tavern-keeper in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's-Inn. Since her husband's death, and for the last nine years, she had been living on the interest of her property in the funds and residing in George-street, Blackfriars-road. For six or seven years, although her mind was not strong, she had been perfectly able to manage herself and property; but a dreadful thunderstorm, which occurred on Christm as -d a y, 1840, had so affected her mind as to render her perfectly imbecile. She was introduced. She entered the room with a light and active step. In answer to the learned Commis sioner's question, she said (clapping her hands) " I know the object of this inquiry : I am quite able to take care of myself and my property. lam not advanced in life. Some black. guards have been talking about me, and I should like to catch them. This year is 1839, and the month is August." She then rose and addressed some rambling observations to the jury. In answer to further questions, she replied, " I won't tell you (the Commissioner) nor the jury how much money I have got, and I shall not say where it is. I worked hard for it, and (striking the table vehemently) no one has any business to ask me such questions. As for the Lord Chancellor, only let him come arid see me cook a dinner. Good God what a fool he must be to allow himself to be imposed upon. (To the Commissioner.)-I do wash, dress and undress myself, and I don't sleep in my clothes-and if you will call upon me I will show you. 1 only wish I knew the blackguards who have been talking about me." The jury immediately returned a verdict, dating the unsoundness of mind from March 1, 1841.

The funeral of the Duke of Sussex took place on Thurs day morning. Business during the early part of the day was suspended in London, most of the shops being closed, and all of them having their shutters up, out of compli men t t o the deceased. As early as six o'clock th e diff erent roa d s leading to the town of Ke nsin g t on were thronged with per sons anxious to obtain a si g ht o f the solemn and imposing ceremony. Barriers were erected along the pathway, from the entrance gates of the palace to the principal door, to pre vent any pressure from the crowd. A few minutes before e i g ht, th e procession began to move from the palace at Kensing ton, headed by a detach men t o f the horse guards, and a military band playin g th e d ea d marc h in Saul. The hearse, drawn by eight horses, received the body, which was borne down the principal staircase on the shoulders of twelve men. On its appearance the immense crowd of spectators unco vered, the guards present e d arms and lowered their standard. After a dozen mourning coac h es , containing the pages, m edical men, a n d c h ap l a i n of the duke, and the pages, equerries and others of the Queen and Queen Dowager, came the carriages of the nobility, of which there were a great number, and to these succeeded the carriages of the chief mourner, followed by the carriages of the royal family. The procession extended nearly a mile in length, and the last of the carriages bad left the palace a few minutes after nine o'clock. It was calculated that between 25,000 and 30,000 persons were assembled in Kensington and in the immediate neighbourhood. The procession, after leaving the palace avenue, proceeded through Kensington, through the High-street, to the Old Church, and passed along Church -lane into the Uxbridge road. Here it stayed a short time (as was the case also at different part of the route,) while the band, in their state dresses, and with the drums muffled, performed the Dead March in Saul. The martial and impressive music was con y e m ss i i l o i n tar arrived. , reached Kensall Gr e en con tinned throughout the greater portion of the di s t ance, an d added to the effect of the scene. Prince Albert did not join the procession , but, accornpa nsniemdebtyimae b d e e f t n a r c e hm th e e n p t r o ne f The directors of the Cemetery Company issued 6000 tickets of admission within the walls, nearly all of which were made available by the possessors long bef ore th e f unera l cortege arrived. Nearly 2 , 500 of the metropolitan force were e th em e exception of Wellin gton, but met it at the and great o ffi cers of State were in attendance to preserve order. The Cabinet Ministers did not join the procession, with attired in the Windsor uniform, with the silk scarf, except Sir Henry Hardinge, who wore a military dress. l o l f th th e e Exactly at half-past ten o'clock the funeral cortege entered Duke o Ministersf the gates of the cemetery. Upon arrival at the chapel, the cavalry formed on either side of the portico. At the entrance to the chapel, the procession moved in the following order : Pages of his late Royal Highness, Medical attendants of his late Royal Highness. The Curate of Kensington. Vicar of Kensington Secretary, Librarian, &c., of his late Royal Highness. • Chaplains of his late Royal Highness.

Upon entering the Chapel the body was placed on a plat form, and the coronet and cushion laid on the coffin. The chief mourner sat at the head of the corpse, the sapporters standing on each side. The Princes of the Royal Family, with the hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, sat ne,.r the chief mourner. The part of the service before the interment being read, the corpse was deposited in the vault, and the Bishop of Norwich havingconcluded the burial service, the Garter Principal King of Arms pronounced the style of his late Royal Highness. The Bishop of Norwich read the funeral service of the church in a most impressive and solemn manner. The responses were said by the Rev. J. Sinclair, Vicar of Kensington. The coffin was carried from the hearse by twelve of the undertaker's men, and placed in the chapel under a canopy of black cloth, previous to the alighting of the mourners and friends of the illustrious deceased. At a quarter to twelve o'clock the whole of the ceremony was concluded. We are informed that the personal property left by the late Duke of Sussex is considerable, his life having been insured to very large amounts in several offices. The interest of the bulk of his property, it is said, has been settled on the Duchess of Inverness; the principal to revert, on the death of her grace, to the son and daughter of his royal highness by his former wife. It is also whispered that handsome legacies have been bequeathed to the various charitable institutions of which his royal highness was the munificent patron.— Brighton Gazette. PETITIONS IN FAVOUR OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S BILL. —Twenty•five petitions in favour of the Factory and Educa tion Bill of Sir James Graham have been sent from Hudders field and its vicinity for presentation.

A WALXINGSTICK EXTKAORDINARY.--All Old man in Preston, named Martland, has constructed probably the most ingeniously contrived walkingstick ever yet seen. Mart land was formerly a block-cutter to Sir Robert Peel, the Premier's father, and is now 72 yeara of age. The stick is made of lance-wood and rose-wood, glued i n f our p ar t s . There are at lea s t 5,000 separate pieces of wood and bone let in. and it is a perfect curiosity. It Is now in the possession of Mr. Thornhill, of Avenham-street, for French-polishing, and when complete, we understand it is to be presented to Prince Albert.

Of English and Irish produce, the arrivals this week are; as usual, upon the most limited scale, and even of Oatmeal we have no fresh supply into this port worth naming, nearly all the quantity stated below having gone through Runcorn direct into the interior : several vessels have got in from Danzig, one of which contains 950 qrs. of Wheat, of fine quality, and intended for sale, duty paid; but of any grain from other foreign ports we have none for insertion to-day. The trade, though generally steady, has not acquired any improvement of demand ; and during the interval from Tuesday last, we have to note only retail sales for consump tion without, change of prices in any article. In the duties upon foreign or colonial produce, no variation has occurred. Having a very slender attendance of buyers at this day's market, and no impulse from any quarter calculated to en liven the trade, the transactions in Wheat were altogether very limited ; impressed, however, with the gradual diminu tion of the stocks in granary here, and the continuance of small arrivals, holders generally refrained from pressing bu siness,—and in the few sales effected the current rates of Tuesday were fully maintained. Flour being evidently less plentiful, all descriptions of English, Irish, and Foreign were rather more saleable, and prime qualities the turn dearer. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, appeared to command very little notice ; and merely sustained their former value. Oats were in slow request, but in consequence of the limit ed quantity at hand, our last quotations were steadily main tained. Oatmeal, which continued to be taken off very sparingly, scarcely equalled the terms previously noted. ASHES Montreal,Pot 31 0 0)31 6 Pearl, new 3O 9 —.ll 0 U. States, Pot 29 0 —3O 0 Pearl none.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 8 Full prices are obtained for New Butter; supplies continue far from abundant. Favourite brands of Beef hare become very aearce, and 95s per tierce is easily to be had for stores. The primest Pork, may fairly be estimated at 50s to 52s 6d per barrel. Canadian Pork has commanded attention during the past week, and several hundred barrels have been taken by the trade, at a considerable ad. vance in price. 'States Pork is much neglected, and there is a good deal of inferior stuff hanging on the market. Irish Bacon, of the best cut, cure and quality, is in fair demand, and holders are not without hope. MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 6 The firmness which we noticed in our last circular, as being in some degree apparent, has since been fully confirmed ; a steady business has been done in Flour during the week, the prices asked last market day have been readily obtained, and, in some cases, an advance has been realised. Other articles steady, at late prices. In the agricultural markets the tendency of prices is upwards, and stocks seem to be getting into moderate compass. At Liverpool, yesterday, the trade was firm, but not brisk : at Wakefield, a steady sale for Wheat, at is per quarter advance, on suitable qualities. At our Corn Exchange, this morning, best new Wheats may be quoted Id to 2d per bushel higher, with a moderate sale : secondary qualities sold without variation. Upon Flour an advance of lid, and, in some cases, is per sack, is obtainable in moderate quantities. Oats without alteration. Meal rather cheaper, and both without any briskness of demand. Malt steady, at fully late prices. Beans are held for an advance of 6d to Is per quarter. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 1 A very good demand again to-day, and the amount of bu siness may be estimated at 6 000 bales at full prices. The weekly sales are 41,220 bales, of which 12,000 have been taken by speculators, and 3,450 for export. The market closes with more firmness. COTTON MARKET, MAY d, The sales this day amounted to 7000 bales. • COTTON MARKET, MAY 8. The sales to-day amounted to 11,000 bales. About 5000 bales went off to-day on speculation -800 for export. We may quote prices id higher than the lowest price last week, and the market closed very firm. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. There has been an extensive business transacted this week, the trade, speculators and exporters having purchased freely. Though no alteration can be made in last week's quotations, still the com mon and middling qualities of American are more saleable, and the market has closed with a greater degree of firmness than for some weeks past. Brazil, Egyptian and East India remain without change. The public sale of Sea Island, consisting of 23 50 White and 300 Stained, was very thinly attended, and only 150 bags of the former and 70 of the latter found buyers. 12,000 American have been taken on speculation, and 3000 American, 180 Pernam buco, 200 Surat and 70 Madras for export.
