(From the Argus) Her Majesty gave a grand ball, as the saying is, on onday night, at her Palace in Pimlico, to which Lord Kbridge and Mr. E. J. Benstanley, the Secretary of Treasury, invited the company—twelve hundred in mber. All the splendid and gorgeously decorated loons were brilliantly illuminated; all that art could ect was done to render the fete most superb. Mon ur Francatelli provided refreshments and supper, th of which were well befitting the Palace of Eng- Dale of the great nobility of England, 'e was a vast number of persons who were ne om lighted with with wax candles before; zy be gathered from the exclamations ut s in broad and semi-intelligible Lan orkshire, and Irish dialects.

" How did you get there ?" is the natural question to ask, and which question was asked over and over again by many wonderers. When the Whig Lady P— asked Lord Melbourne to explain it, he told the truth when he replied, rubbing his hands, " Why, hang it, you know we are obliged to have all sorts of people invited, for they support us, and the Queen is devilish goodnatured about it ; she knows the scrape we are in • but I think we h ave rat h er over done it thi s t i me — t he fact is, it is an Irish registration The Queen no doubt is goodnatured, but her minis ters ought n o t i n conseq uence to tur n h er state WI into a gathering such as one would only see in the large tent of Greenwich Fair—admittance one shil- It is also " one of the stories of the ball" that her Majesty, seeing a guest pass by, asked the Princess " "Do y ou know who that person is 1" She replied, madam, I never saw him anywhere but here,"-- quite unconscious, of course, of the hard hit she dealt. The person was Mr. Morgan John O'Connell. At one moment the string of two and four-wheeled conveyances reac h ed from St. James ' s-street to Buck ingham P a l ace ; and a curious medley of vehicles it was : the t emperance procession was quite genteel in comparison. Fortunately, night in its kindness con cealed much s h a bbi ness. We, however, can explain all this and much more if we choose so to do; for our particular Palace friend happened to see the particular note addressed by the Treasury whipper-in to the Chamberlain, and thus it ran : lY Treasury, June 17.

H. Hearon, Esq., and Jame s Lrber, Esq., the Very Rev. the Dea n , the Rev. Charles iawkins ' and the Rev. W. H. Dixo n , canon res i dentiaries, ,he Rev. William Taylor, and several other gentlemen. The rst and principal witness examined was William Groves, ckmaker, of Leeds, who stated that he and Holder, the Ir, were in the tower in the afternoon of the day of the Holder left between three and four, when witness put andle out; he afterwards went out, and returned about o'clock ; remained in the steeple till six, but had no can or light between five and six o clock, at which latter hour left the Minster. Groves said his former evidence, as to viug used a lantern was untrue, and that he had been re `A to say he had used one at the urgent entreaty of who was afraid of losing his situation, the dean had forbidden any one ever the tower without a lantern. Instead of a n the candle was put into a piece of wood, made by Holder, about an inch and a half thick, which Groves laced in the clock chamber, upon one of the seats of , od ; but he positively states that he was not above that -nber after four o'clock, and that he has a distinct recol n of having put the candle out at that time, as he t it away with hi m . Af ter the examination of other Wm. Holder was called, and underwent a severe in; and was suitably reproved for having coaxed tell the lie about using the lantern. Mr. Meek, nt, Mr. Barstow, and Mr. Hudson, here coincided in n that the candle had never been put out; it had been `o tim socket, which had probably taken an hour and and then it had set fire to the building. The Lord ayor observed that it was a very probable supposition, but then , it completely falsified the evidence of Groves. A reso_ lotion was taen drawn up and adopted, which left the ques tion open for further investigation, should any new facts transpire. The meeting separated.—Halifax Guardian. f Hol ag that examin a half, Unless our readers are in the habit of perusing with great attention the reports of the parliamentary debates and of proceeding most seriously over the dusty folios of the Mirror of Parliament, the name of Sir George Sinclair will not be well known to them. Most of our good friends will ask who is Sir George Sinclair ? What of him, that he is to be placed in the foremost rank of Political Characters.' We have heard little or nothing of him. We recollect not see ing his speeches form the matter of the leading article of the Times, or the Chronicle, or the Post, or the Standard. He has held no great office ; he has not highly distinguished himself; he is unknown to fame; he is, in short, a cipher and nothing more. Why then write about him?" Softly, good reader, softly. True it is that Sir George Sinclair has never occupied much space in the public eye; true it is that he is not a captain of five or of ten or of twenty in the Con servative camp; true it is that he has never exposed himself to the stupid malignity of the Chronicle, or the miserable drivelling of the Globe, and never needed the powerful ad vocacy of the Times, or the Standard, or the Post ; true it is also that he is little more than a unit in the party to which he belongs ; that all the really efficient aid he gives it is the aid of his solitary vote. This is true, all true, but Sir G. Sinclair is not therefore a man to be passed over without no tice, he is not therefore to be numbered with such small fry as the Hawes, the Prymes, the Erles, and people of their class. No, the hon. member for Caithness belongs not to these, with them he has nothing in common. Although Sir George Sinclair seldom takes any share in the public business of the country, he is possessed of command ing talents, talents which might raise him to a high rank in to tl;eirieiiiiinate-Otileas,hfinivArnitC4W3krWlen.l&l4.l what, he will allow us to say, is little better than frivolity and trifling. The times in which we live are full of difficulty and danger, they are such as to require the unceasing and watch ful care of our greatest statesmen ; yet the administration by which we are governed is one of the most contemptible and most despicable that ever swayed the destinies of a mighty kingdom. Oh ! it is enough to make a man's soul burn within him to see such a country as ours going to rack and ruin through the mismanagement of the wretched ministers of the crown, backed and supported only as they are by a miserable clique of Papists, Infidels, and Radicals, men who would willingly revolutionise the country to gain their nefa rious ends. Still Sir George Sinclair, with abilities emi nently fitted for parliamentary distinction, is content to fill merely a most subordinate station in the ranks of those righteous men who are opposed to the ministerial gang. He sees the conflict between the two parties raging, but stands a „, listless and unconcerned spectator of' the stirring scene ; oc casionally perhaps he may venture forth, but it is only when the battle's din is hushed, when the wordy war is over. Then he will prove that he is well qualified to be a leader in the camp ; then he will criticise the doings that have taken place, and point out what it would have been better to have done. But this is not what we want. We want men of action, not of words; of deeds, not of thoughts. We have a claim on the exertions of Sir George Sinclair; he is able, and, as a Conservative, of course willing, to serve his country. We call upon him to do it; earnestly, most earnestly, do we en treat him to bestir himself. The " Table Talker" of the Morning Post, a short time since, gratified his readers with an article on the subject of our present sketch. Glad indeed should we be could we find room for the whole of the " Table Talker's" most excellent lucubration ; but as this is not possible, we must content ourselves by making one or two extracts, in which all that we could wish to say of Sir George Sinclair is beautifully expiessed. "Of all men in the House of Commons," says our author, and we may be allowed to observe, in passing, that he is one who has the happy tact of combining in his writings the very best instruction with the most refined amusements, " the most puzzling even to the most observant, is Sir George Sinclair. It is no exaggeration to say that he makes from time to time cleverer speeches, and more re moved from the ordinary common place of parliamentary discussion, than any other man in the house, whether leader or follower. He is more witty, more pointed, shows more resources of literature in his allusions than any other man, and indicates a deeper sympathy with the general interests and feelings of humanity ' • and yet with all this, Sir G eorge is by no means considered as a first-rate man in the House of Commons, and were he to retire from it, or cease to be elected, very little notice would probably be taken of the circumstance. His speeches do not make much impression on the house, and out if they do not appear to make any impression at all. It is to be observed, that Sir George is not a man of action and of business, but for the most part a critic merely. He is the Jacques of the House of Commons, and goes about moralising in sententious phrase, but sharing little, and sympathising less, in the senatorial occupations of those around him. Following this criticising vein, and mo ralising his matter into a thousand similes,' the worthy sena tor sometimes falls into the course of a debate with singular force and finish. The harangues of Sir George make too much demand upon the intellectual attention of the auditory to be popular in the House of Commons. They seem to be prepared beforehand; they are a condensation of good things, as if a long oration of the ordinary pudding character had been first piepared, and then all the plums picked out to make a choicer and smaller dish. To give the substance of what he says, you must hear all he says. " Sir George Sinclair is, as it were, the antithesis of Mr. Joseph Hume; more direct opposites can scarcely be ima gined. The latter, with an intellect not three removes from that of an animal that chews the thistle, with no sympathy for anything humane, or comprehension of anything gene rous—without the faintest glimmering of literature or know ledge of language beyond the commonest sort of colloquial clumsiness, has yet contrived to be a person of some practi cal importance. The secret of this lies in his dogged perse vering interference in matters of practical business. He can no more comprehend any matter of large importance, than a common bat can cover St. Paul's with the shadow of its wings ; but he can interfere and say something, and at great length, about that which he does not understand, and he can be for ever doing this, night after night, during the sitting of parliament for 20 years. He is a leathery excrescence upon the surface of legislation, which nothing will rub off. he is an everlasting impediment —a thing that never feels, but al ways snakes itself felt, because always in the way. A nonen tity or a nuisance in every position where understanding, in formation, or sympathy are essential, Mr. Hume is a very effective man in the House of Commons, while Sir George Sinclair, with much more than au ordinary share of all the three, is without any effective power in the house beyond his single vote in the division. Such and so great is the distinc tion which exists in England between a critic and an actor in respect of public affairs." In every ward here borrowed from our friend (if so we may venture to call him) the " Table Talker," we most cordially concur. We beg, then, once more to impress upon Sir George Sinclair most respectfully, but most firmly, the ne cessity of action. " Act ! act ! act !" we would thunder into his ears every time he crosses the threshold of the House of Commons. These are not the times, we repeat, for mere dreamers—these are not the times for mere visionaries— these are not the times for your mere calm and patient ob servers of the world. No—these are the days of stirring events, and they require men of energy, men of action, men of lofty talent. Talent, we have said, Sir George Sinclair does not need. Will he let it lay longer idle ? Will he not rather enrol himself without delay with our Stanleys, and Peels, and Grahams, and Lyndhursts, and Wellingt ons , an d aid the m i n their arduous exertions for the benefit of their country ? Will he be a dreamer instead of an actor—one of the slothful rather than one of the industrious ? No, no ; we hope not, we trust not. Awake, then, Sinclair ! arouse ye ! be up ! be stirring ! " There is a kind of character in thy life That, to the observer, cloth thy history Fully unfold ; thyself and thy belongings Are not thine own so proper, as to waste Thyself upon thy virtues, them on thee. Heaven doth with us as we with torches do ; Not light them for themselves ; for if our virtues Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike As if we had them not."

We have therefore to intimate that the waist of Lord Palmerston is the size of the waist of a gnat, and not of that of a giant.

Belief and Prac 1 Letter to i Bvo. is STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER.—The market on Tuesday was dull, both in goods and yarns, its flatness being increased by the sus pension of payments of the Commercial Bank; and, as re gards twist, also by bad accounts of a famine in Russia, in which it is stated that the price of food had most enormously risen, and that the people were starving i n grea t num b ers. Goods were also difficult of sale ; but still both goods and yarn might have been disposed of at some little reduction In price, which the manufacturers, however, were not willing to submit to. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 30. We have had very little business going on in the flannel mar ket to-day ; every thing has been dull and gloomy. Buyers have either wanted the pieces at reduced prices, or otherwise have been quite indifferent whether they purchased at all. In the wool market all has been still and inactive. H UDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 30.—Our market was pretty well attended to-day ; still there was but a meagre quantity of business transacted either in the plain woollen or fancy departments, and manufacturers continue to complain bitterly of the low and ruinous prices obtained : indeed, they are so low compared with the prices of wools, that many sales are chiefly the effect of dire necessity ; arid, doubtless, if an early improvement cannot be realised, many will have to " bite the dust."—The wool market was also flat, but prices are firm. Manchester Guardian. LEICESTER.—We are sorry to say that there is no im provement in the demand for worsted hosiery ; and the glove branch, which has afforded employment to so many hands, is now very dull, and less doi ng i n i t.

The funeral of this venerable Wesleyan minister took place on Tuesday. The procession left the deceased's late residence at Kingswood, and proceeded to Ebenezer Chapel, Old King-street, ' whet e, at eleven o'clock, a large congregation assembled and public service took place. After singing and prayer a funeral oration was delivered by Mr. Stanley. The procession then re-formed, the coffin being borne on a bier, eight bearers. It was preceded by the Methodji:sumtli of the city of Kingswood, and followed by Esq. and Mr. Thomas Wood, as chief mourners, accompanied by the members and friends of the family, and the Rev. John Gaskin, minister of Kingswood church. Upwards of a hundred members of the Wesleyan Society also followed in the train. The corpse was then carried to Portland Chapel, where the funeral service of the Church of England was read ; and the remains were deposited in the bu r yi ng ground attached to the chapel.

LETTING OUT.—An Irish tailor, making a gentleman's coat and vest too small, was ordered to take them home and let them oat. Some days after, the gentleman inquiring for his garments, was told by the ninth part of an Irishman, that the clothes happening to fit a countryman of his, he had let them out at a shilling per week.

EXCELLENT SUGGESTION RESPECTING LUGGAGE ON RAILWAYS.—A suggestion has been made to us, which we hope will receive the attention of railway directors. The plan is extensively adopted in America. A brass ticket is given to every passenger for every box or package of luggage a duplicate of which is fastened to such package. At the station the passengers produce these tickets, and receive in exchange their own property. The want of some such ar rangement has caused much trouble and some loss on several railways in this country.—Edinburgh Evening Post. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—A short time since the building of a stone bridge was commenced over the river Leven, near the town of that name, and in making a road to it from the village of Inverleven, a stripe had to be taken off a garden at the east end of that village. In levelling this road, at the point described, a human skull was first disco vered, with a hole in the back part of it, and afterwards, in the same place, bones of the other parts of a man, with frag ments of clothes. These circumstances have led to the sup position, that a person must have been murdered, and buried there; and this is strengthened by the recollection, that, in October 1833, a vessel, belonging to Aberdeen, discharged a cargo of bones at Leven, and having been chartered by a broker in Leith, the master went there to draw his freight, and was never afterwards heard of. The remains of the body now found are suspected to be those of this shipmaster, whose name is said to have been Fowler, and that of his ves sel the Rover; but as to how he came by his death, or by whom the body was deposited in this garden, must, it is feared, remain a matter of conjecture.—Edinburgh Evening Post. WINDOW Tax.—The duties are chargeable on all win dows in any kitchen, cellar, scullery, buttery, pantry, larder, washhouse, bakehouse, brewhouse, and lodging room, whe ther within, contiguous to, or disjoined from the dwelling house. All sky-lights and windows or lights, however con structed, in stair-cases, garrets, cellars, passages, and any other part of dwelling-houses, are also chargeable, except such interior windows as wholly derive their light from any exterior windows which are duly charged to the said duties. Windows in shops or warehouses, being parts of dwelling houses, in the front or fronts, and on the ground and base ment story, are exempt; but if any such shop or warehouse contains more than three such windows, the remainder are chargeable—the exemption not extending beyond three in any case. According to the 4th and sth William IV., if any person shall erect any new building, or make any addition to his dwelling-house or premises, or open any communication with any other tenement or building adjoining, or near thereto, then, and in such case, all the windows in such dwelling-house and premises, and in such new, or additional, or adjoining tenement, or building, are to be rated and as sessed together to the said duties, as they would have been before the passing of the said act. THE OPAH OR KING-FISH.—At the ebbing tide on the morning of Saturday last, there was seen floundering near the Church Rocks, Newbiggin, a specimen of that rare and beautiful fish the Opah or King-Fish. Its weight was about 70 lbs. ; the colours on its first being taken out of the water and alive were most brilliant. The vermillion of its head, a portion of the body above the tail, the tail itself (large and forked), and the fins were brightly dazzling ; the upper part of the back was of a greenish violet colour; the sides and belly had a greenish silvery appearance ; the whole being stud ded with French-white patches, of the size of a shilling. The mouth, which would admit a moderate-sized hand, was as smooth within as polished marble; there were short prickles on the tongue, inclining inwards, but no teeth. The nume rous bathers now at Newbiggin, and the fishermen, flocked to see the gaudy sight, and many and curious were the con jectures what it could be. It was in the course of the day taken by boat to Tynemouth, and exhibited there as a show. It was certainly one of nature's most gorgeous marine pro ductions, and ought to have been secured for the Museum of the Society of this place.—Newcastle Journal. STATISTICS OF EDUCATION IN BOLTON.—In 1833, the number of Sunday schools in Great and Little Bolton was 15 ; 3 Episcopals, 2 Wesleyan Methodists, 1 Methodist New Connexion, 1 Baptist, 2 Unitarians, 1 Independent Metho dist, 1 Primitive Methodist, 2 Independents, 1 Catholic, and 1 Swedenborgian ; total scholars 8049 ; total teachers 624 ; amount of collections during that year £620 lOs 7d. In 1836, there were 9645 Sunday scholars, of which class there were 2073 attended day schools. In 1838, the number of children iu the borough receiving education between the ages of 5 and 15 years, was 11,473. In July, 1839, the number of Sunday scholars within the borough was 10,784. The average amount of collections for Sunday schools is about £Bso.—Bolion Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF ROCHDALE.--AR parties here are dissatisfied with the present administration, and it is the general opinion that the present representative of that borough will resign. The radical electors have formed themselves into a society, and have determined upon having a thorough reformer. They think that the borough would be better represented by a tory than a whig—but a radical would be preferred to either; therefore they have concluded upon Sharman Crawford, Esq., of Crawford's Burn, Ireland, as their man, and have invited that gentlemen to pay them a visit, and he has acceded to their request. He met a con siderable number of whig and radical electors on Wednesday evening, in the large room at the Roebuck Inn, and address ed them on the principal topics that agitate the public mind at present, and apparently gave satisfaction, as he was greatly cheered throughout. The conservatives are canvassing the borough, for (it is said) Clement Royds, Esq. ; and if the whigs and radicals do no t compromise, there is no doubt he will be returned. Mr.T.M.Gibson is expected to come for ward on the whig interest.—Bolton Chronicle. - li w tt icivi le ca ;o s m a m id o , commotion w g :a o b s h y soon ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. —S O was occasioned in Doncaster, on Thuwrmshdoeayi:venin arrival of a chaise containing a couple, the eloped, and were on their way to the south, confirmed by the arrival of the enraged husband in a few moments after the other had taken its departure. chaise, husband, who, we understand, is a publican at Pontefract, took a gig from Doncaster and overtook the fugitives at Bawtry, where he seized the treasure, the only thing which he seemed at all interested about—namely £5O, which his wife had carried away with her, as well as a large quantity of clothi ng .

Let us likewise imagine, that, in those days, the divine spirit of prophecy had come upon us, unveiling to our sight the events of the future. In seven years from this time, the British empire shall be rent in twain (American war, in 1776). In fifteen years men shall rise from the earth, and fly through the air (invention of balloons, 1780). In twenty years the French monarchy, the oldest that ever was, and now so flourishing, shall come to an end. A virtuous prince (Louis XVI. 1793), not yet king, shall in twenty-three years lay down his life on the scaffold : his wife and sister shall share the same fate. In those same days, news shall travel with the speed of the wind, and what was done at mid-day shall be known at the farthest bounds of the kingdom ere the set ting of the sun (the Telegraph, 1794). In twenty-six years a conqueror shall arise (Bonaparte), who shall water his horses in the Nile, the Jordan, the Tagus. and the Borysthenes. This conqueror shall restore the chair of St. Peter, and throw down what he had restored (dethronement of Pius VII.) Finally, he whom the world could not contain, shall die a captive on a rocky island (St. Helena), neither in Eu rope, Asia, Africa, nor America, but in the midst of the vast ocean : a few feet of earth his empire, a willow his monu ment. In those days metals shall be found which float on the water, and burn under it (sodium and potassium, disco vered by Sir Humphry Davy). Ships shall stem the stormiest ocean without sails or oars (steam-ships). Car riages shall run without horses, with the speed of the wind (locomotive engines.) (The ordinary speed of the wind is 35 miles an hour; that of the engines on the Great Western Railway is 39.) Men shall be conveyed from India to the mighty Babylon in a month; from America in ten days ; from one end of England to the other in eight hours. Bridges shall hang by a chain over the sea, while roads shall be made under it (the Menai Bridge and the Thames Tunnel.) To those days of bloodshed shall succeed days of liberty. The negro shall no longer be bought or sold. The slave shall be set free. The Greek shall be freed from the Turk ; the ca tholic from the orangeman. The very beasts in those days shall have laws to protect them. Those days shall be days of great light. Men shall plough without horses (steam plough ;) they shall spin without hands (power-looms ;) they shall calculate by wheels (Babbage's machine ;) the sun shall engrave for them (the Daguerrotype they shall write with the lightning (electric telegraph.) One machine shall print in one hour many thousand books, each of which shall take a man many days to read; a man may buy a book for a penny ; for a penny he may send it to the ends of the empire. They shall read the rocks instead of a book (geology,) and decipher the history of beings which lived and died ere man existed. In the heavens new stars shall be discovered : some, sisters of the earth ; some, brothers of the sun (the planets, five in number, discovered since the American war; and the double stars by Sir William Herschel ;) and of all the colours of the rainbow. In those days, likewise, they shall read the Pyra mids (Young's and Champollion's discoveries.) They shall find out the mouth of the Niger and the Magnetic Pole : the - - . • - L- 1,.. hnt the WAIT /1 be happy.—Phrenir (Erliniurgli newspaper.) THE Day . FOUNTAIN.—An American correspondent sends us an account of the drying up of a fountain, called the Silver Springs in Florida, which had never before failed, and. was relied on by all living things in that region as exhaust less. Its name (he observes) was naturally suggested by its bright aspect. "In the depth of the forest, and bordered by a matted growth of live oak and other evergreens, a cir cular or oval hollow. about sixty y ar d s i n di ame t er , shelvedl down through sand of perfect whiteness to its centre, where the spring gushed upward so vigorously as to agitate the sur face some fathoms above, filling the entire basin with water of delicious purity and coolness, through the diamond trans parency of which were seen fish of different kinds and various colours, which, always refusing a bait, were believed by the Indians to be enchanted or blessed spirits ; and under the blaze of a tropical summer, a sensual fancy could hardly have imaged, even in the land of flowers, a more delightful heaven than the bath of the Silver Spring—perhaps the very foun tain of rejuvenescence, in search of which the romantic old Spaniard found that i mmor t a lity i n d eat h w hi c h h e h ope d to enjoy in life. There was ample room and verge enough for a little boat, in which visiters amused themselves floating over the secluded little lake. On a visit, a few weeks since, some officers found the spot deprived of half its beauty and of all its wonted freshness. The silver sands were dry as the desert; the spirit fish and the water had vanished; and thickly strewn in the woods around, where the bleaching skeletons and withering carcasses of horses, deer, wild cows, and a variety of other animals, which had perished of thirst. The dry basin somewhat resembled the crater of a volcano ; for though there was not a drop of moisture, the boiling motion was kept up in the sand, and on thrusting down the foot or a stick, the gas escaped in puffs distinctly audible."— Athenaum.

The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports, since Friday, is an increase of Is lid per quarter on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat; some parcels of Wheat, in bond, have been taken at fully our last quotations, and very large parcels of Flour, in bond, hare changed hands since this day week, at an ad vance of ad to gd per barrel, in the confident expectation that the duty will be reduced in another month ; Oats, in bond, sell in small parcels for export at about 3s 9d per 451 b. At this day's market there was a thin attendance, and notwith standing the encouraging accounts from Mark-lane, yesterday, sales were effected to a very limited extent of Wheat and Flour at the advance above noted, and of all other articles at about the quotations of last week.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 2. There has not been. K) much doing to.day as there has been the last few days ; the sales are 4500 bags, including 700 on spec ula tion and 300 for export : the market steady, but not so buoyant. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 30. Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour from Foreign ports have again been pretty considerable; but of all Grain, Flour, arid Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastwise, they have been very trivial. The weather, during the past week, has continued cold and rainy, of course unfavourabl for hay harvest, now generally commenced ; and from reports and information received from those in whose opinion and judgment on this subject great confidence is placed, the crops of this article, with some partial exceptions, will prove very light, even with the best weather henceforward; and the crops of all kinds of 'Grain, of course with partial exceptions, are reported as likely to prove very moderate averages, as to quantity, generally over this and the neighbouring counties for 100 miles around us, attributed in some degree to injury done by the long continuance of drought previous to the first week in May, then too leniently estimated, and to the deficiency of sunshine almost ever since. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JULY There was a better skew of stock of all kinds than for the last five or six weeks, and being more than equal to the demand, prices gave way for Beef, Mutton, and Lamb, id per lb ; still nearly every - nnumber of Cattle at u...t., at 6d to 7id ; 3600 Sheep, at 64d to 740 ; 3100 Lambs, at bid to 'ad ; 48 Calves, at 6d to 7d.
