APPALLING WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP FROM LIVERPOOL. LOSS OF NEARLY TWO HUNDRED LIVES. One of the most disastrous shipwrecks or., record occurred on the 3rd instant, at Stirrup Key, among the Bahama Islands. The news of the dreadful calamity was taken to New York on the 16th instant, by the brig Reuben Carver, from Sagua la Grande, which bad on board the captain, first and second mates, and six of the crew of the ill-fated vessel William and Mary. The barque William and Mary, commanded by Captain Stinson, left Liverpool for New Orleans on the 24th March, with a cargo of railroad iron and 208 passengers, Principally German, Irish, and Scotch emigrants. No thing Particular occurred, with the exception of fourteen deaths among the emigrants and one birth, until the 3rd of May, when they entered the dangerous channel of the Ilahannas, with the most unfavourable weather, the wind blowing strong from the south-east, with a heavy sea. About seven o'clock in the morning, the barque passed a ' The Hole in the Wall," the most southern point of the Island of Abaco, so called from one of the most prominent elan of the coast being perforated with a large hole, which is visible a considerable distance at sea. Passing this in safety, Captain Stinson steered for Stirrup Key, which at twelve, meridian, was about ten miles dis tant, the weather becoming more clouded, and the Wind increasing. Till the afternoon the vessel kept on her course without accident of any kind, but at half-past eight she struck on a sunken rock, on which she remained for about fifteen minutes, and received extensive damage. The p assengers were all on deck, running and screech i ng We are lost ! we ere lose!" and crowding the deck so that it was almost impossible to get from one part of the ship to another. The captain ordered the boats to be cleared and launched. The two life-boats were launched first, and four men got into the starboard boat, taking with them two cans of water, a compass, and some bread. They remained in the boat all night, and with the greatest difficulty kept her from being stove. The larboard boat was safely launched, but about half an hour after was stove under the quarter, the decks being so crowded aft that the boats could not be dropped astern. The boat at the cranes was so filled by the passengers that they bent the cranes down to the water. This boat was stove also. The long-boat was still remaining on the afterhouse, unfit to be launched without caulking. Part of the crew were, ordered, however, to get that ready, and the re mainder to lay forward and get ready to cut away the mast. The ship was now rolling very heavily, the sea breaking over her every few minutes during the squalls. Some of the headstays were cut, and everything got ready to let the foremast go overboard ; but the captain gave orders not to cut it, as the sails kept the ship from rolling. Her an c h ors were let go as soon as possible, and after drift ing a few ro d s she struck again so h eav ily th a t it prostrated many on the deck, and it was evident to all that the ship Could not possibly stand many more such shocks. The scene was now dreadful beyond description. Some were upon their knees, praying to the Lord to have mercy on them; tome were crying, others w ere running, catching hold of e officers and crew, begging them to save them, telling them that they were unfit to die, that they were unpre pared to meet their God. Some who had the evening previous been boasting of their infidelity were the first upon thei r k nees, and loudest in their cries for God to have mercy upon them. It now seemed evident to all that the ship would go down immediately. Men, who before this, had acted their part nobly, now ceased to make any effort to save themselves or others. Some went to a cask of liquor that was between decks, and there !orgot their dangers and troubles. At nridnight the water nad a t ‘e so rapidly on the sinking vessel that it was four the feet in the hold, and. at 4 a.m., eight s feet. Scarcely ten day dawned when it was announced that there were of water in the hold, and the pumps were aban donedstricken passen in despair, gers T w he er b e o t a in ts s , h t i h p e pe la d st fr r n e m sor th t terror allnofdtahveita;but exFept the life-boat and long-boat were swamped. The captain, his and st officers, and . a portion of the crew got into abandoned the ship, which was then before fpei_oyasti,naknd i ' ne.

When the pas sengerssreaming eu erany hope, him ; leave the ship they knew there was no g hope, an d b ecame perfectly frant i c w i t h d espa i r, and calling wildly for that assistance which it _ as impossibl e to render them. As soon as the captain left, six of the crew who still remained in the ship, got ready the long-boat;into which some of the passengers jumped indiscriminately. The scene on board the sinking ship was most heart rending. Women and men jumped overboard from the a fteri bo pa a r t, t of the vesssel, near where the boat lay, and many were drow ne d. O ne of the crew, who was in the long-boat, was compelled, with a hatchet, to keep off the Passengers who were crowding into the boat, and who, if allowed to enter it, would have sunk it. The life-boat, Pecupled by the captain and crew, was so crowded, that before cutting the rope, they debated the necessity of drawing lots to see who should go overboard. At that time a poor fellow was standing on the side of the vessel just a s t h e rope was about to be cut. He asked the mate if he might jump in ; but receiving no encouragement from him, he was abo u t g i v i ng himself up for lost when he thought that by rendering some service he might be allowed to get into the boat. Knowing that they were in want cf a sail he took one of the Qh a i l l: h 's ou sk h ysails and handed it to those in the boat, who, the boat was already overcrowded, could not refuse 1) 11 a chance for his life. The rope was cut by another sall y : Ridley, who immediately after jumped into the wr'atnerana'nel was taken on board. The long-boat ultimately got away Iwith about twent y passengers and one or two of the crew. n about half.an-hour after the barque was left she went down, and all on board are supposed to have pe rished. After beating about for some hours the life-boat was picked up by the brig Reuben Carver, and conveyed to New York. The captain stated that about noon on the 4th, the day after the wreck, he saw the long-boat picked 11 Phe an English vessel bound up the Gulf. On the 11th i nstant the American schooner Smith Shuttle spoke an -moglish barque, one hundred miles north of Maritanilla Reef, bound for Liverpool, with cotton, from New Orleans. She had picked up twenty-five passengers from au American ship the day previous. The barque was bound to Europe, but Capt. N. could not ascertain her name. There is every reason to believe that the persons res cued were some of the passengers of the William and Mary. The Reuben Carver was twelve days at sea from t he time she picked up the crew of the lost vessel till her arrival at this port. She fell in on the 10th May with the ba rque Oneco, of Portland, and received a supply of pro vlslons, which was greatly needed, after receiving the FaPtain and part of the crew of the William and Mary en board. There is every reason to hope that the passengers who had thrown themselves into the long-boat have es caned the melancholy fate of their companions who were unable to leave the vessel. 0 The Willia m an d Mary was 512 tons burthen, was built 13owdoinhana last year, and was owned by J. Harward, of that place. She was insured for $26,000, at the fol. l a ° nd ul offices : --- New England, B'lo,ooo ; City, -88,000 ; Was jilaompees, CeThBam,Onr.a.

The remainder ere composed of English, Irish, and Scotch, the Irihrforming the largest portion. One of the sailors iasroafftop-inion that some of the passengers may have formed and saved themselves upon it, or by floating on some fragments of th e vessel. This he considers not at all ,e im probable, as t h ere were two or three sailors left behind on iatsjm e ressel ; and t h ese, he believes, would have devised s such m eans of saving themselves and some of the sengers. Should they have done so they would not be long floating about before they would be picked up by sundered, as the place where the William and Mary is a general highway to vessels bound south.

A handsome carved oak screen, presented by a member ,of the congregation, has been erected, which separates the organ from the body of the church. The cost of the enlargement was about £BO, 50 of which had been subscribed by the congregation. Three sermons were preached on the occasion, and the collections after the services amounted to 423. EPSOM RACES. The annual sporting festival on Epsom Downs commenced on Tuesday last, under the most auspicious influences, bright skies and pleasant breezes compensating in some degree for the dreary weather which attended the early meetings of the season. There was not more than the average attendance, the majority being composed of the professionals. The racing commenced with the Craven Stakes, and Grapeshot's victory increased the hopes of Honeywood's supporters for the Derby. The other races were well contested, and afforded a fair day's amusement to the assembled spectators. TUESDAY, MAY 24.—THE CRAVEN STAKES, Of 10 Soya. each with 50 added.

MEETING OF TIE RED PARTY. On Saturday, a numerous meeting of the ratepayers favourable to the " red, " was held at the Craven rooms, Birkenhead. Mr. Thomas Fry occupied the chair, and amongst those present were—Messrs. J. Laird, Holme, Conway, Alexander Thompson, De Wolf, Porter, R. Lamont, Keightley, Parsons, J. Holme, Slater, Crook, Tyler, Watkins, Hadfield, Edmund Thompson, Goul bourne, Thomas Williams, &c. After some remarks from the chairman, Mr. HADFIELD, the secretary to the South American Steam Navigation Company, addressed the meeting. He remarked that, for the last three years, he represented the late Dock Trust, as their secretary ; and the gentlemen who then com posed the trust would challenge comparison with any names that had been brought under notice. largely inte. rested, too, as they were in every respectin the prosperity of the place. One of the charges brought against the late trustees was that they did notNing did not proceed with the works ; and did not bang trade as they had promised. What had the new trustees done? After he (Mr. Had field) had retied, and Mr. Hull, the solicitor, had received his cowl , ' they elected a London solicitor, who came doe , . to Birkenhead with everything cut and dried in his pocket, and all they had to do was to follow his instruc tions. What the late trustees considered a most bene ficial arrangement was the lease or contract with the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company for a station on the South Reserve, arid getting a bridge built to con nect the South Reserve with the present railway system on this side of the water. The first thing the new trus tees did was to go to Chancery, to dispute that agree ment which had the unanimous approval of the previous board ' • and not only that, but they destroyed the bridge which had been erected at a cost of £4,000, and erected, too, at a time when the trust was in great financial diffi culties. Now the onus of all this they laid upon the late trustees, but with what justice or propriety he would ask the meeting to determine. Another point with which he had some little to do, was in connexion with the rates and tolls payable by shipping, his argu ment always being that a new place should give every encouragement to trades and shipping, by keeping the charges as low as possible. After he joined the trust, therefore, they reduced the charges from being on a par with Liverpool to some thirty per cent. lower ; but when the new trustees were appointed, or in a very short time afterwards, the charge rose again to the original point. Dwelling further upon the policy of the " obstructives," he said they were acting upon some supposed rights which existed in the acts of parliament to prevent the dock trustees from leasing or letting their land in the mode, and on the terms most convenient to themselves. But, even if there were such clauses, ought gentlemen to be found advocating what they knew would injure the pro perty ? He denied in tote the statement of Mr. Fowles, the present chairman of the Dock Trust, that the late board had exercised these rights. So long as he was their secretary, the only right they exercised was in connexion with getting the walls built. It was the duty of the pre sent trustees, who represented the Birkenhead interest, to have protested against an interpretation of an act of parliament which would injure their constituents' pro perty. It was idle to say it would not be injurious, for its first fruits were an injunction to prevent Mr. Laird proceeding with his intended shipbuilding-yard, while Messrs. Holme, the large contractors, builders, &c., de clined to complete their lease. In fact, if this policy were carried out, Birkenhead would be under a ban. Mr. A. THOMSON urged the necessity of supporting that party who were in favour of the reduction of the rates and charges, and of encouraging local trade and in dustry, which could be remunerated by weekly wages. Mr. HOLME refuted some charges which had been brought against the Red candidates. Was it likely, for instance, that Mr. Carmichael would be in favour of the removal of the docks to the injury of his own property ? Why, they had had the care in the docks of 10,000 tons of wood belonging to that gentleman, and 7,000 tons be longing to Mr. De Wolf, another candidate. Mr. EDMUND THOMPSON denounced, in strong terms, the policy which prevented the establishment in Birken head of those shipbuilding and industrial operations for which it was by nature adapted, and showed how the ar rangements of the steam company, with which he was associated, would be upset, in regard to Birkenhead being made the port for the craft, if they could not get graving docks. Mr. J. LAIRD, alluding to the statement made by their opponents, that the late trustees " had done nothing," went into statistics to show that, in four years, they actually spent £270,000 upon the various works in con nexion with the docks and the float; while, during the nine months' tenure of the present trustees, he did not believe £5,000 had been expended. When they (the late trustees) came in they found clauses in the act which for feited the whole works to the Crown if not completed in a certain time. No place could prosper, or manufactories be introduced in such a state of things. The Morpeth Dock, too, was to be closed in 1831 by act of Parliament, and no vessels allowed to pass. Upon this they went to Parliament with a bill, which, in spite of the opposition of the Woods and Forests, they carried through the House of Commons, and the result was, the free grant of the South Reserve, valued by Mr. John Stewart at £178,000, and the repayment of £60,000, which sums, added to the £270,000, made £500,000 obtained by the late trustees. Great credit was taken by the present trustees for making a contract. True, they had made a contract, but how ? Upon the faith of the £60,000 payment recovered by the act of the late board from the Crown, and the South Reserve which Messrs. Brassey and M'Cormick took as so much assets. Mr. Green had stated the amount of the contract at £250,000 ; it might be so ; if it were, they (the late trustees) had provided £23B,oootowards it ; and itwas scarcely fair for the opposition to go about representing that their predecessors had done nothing. 'Why, they had done more than the present trustees or any othercould do. They had opened a float of 150 acres, and all it wanted now was a deep -water entrance. if their opponents wished to spend £400,000 or £500,000 more upon making it, he did not object to it ; but what he said was, that dock space had been provided, and let them fill it. Coming next to the obstructions which had been thrown in the way of himself and Messrs. A. and G. Holme by the present trustees, Mr. Laird pointed out the effect which this would naturally have in driving from Birkenhead the South American, African, and Canada lines of steamers, which could not come to the port unless graving -docks were provided. He was willing to afford the necessary accommodation if not stopped by the authorities. En gineers would never come to Birkenhead under such a state of things, nor could he (Mr. Laird) remain to be hampered and opposed at every step. It was a question of peculiarly practical interest to the ratepayers. The land leased to Messrs. Holme, the Bridgewater Trust, and himself could not be rated at less than £5OO a year ; the workmen that would be employed might be estimated at from fifteen hundred to two thousand, and their con tribution to the rates at one thousand pounds a year. If this were not driven away, but if manufactures were en couraged, it might shortly be doubled or quadrupled, which would either have the effect of reducing the rates, or, by helping to liquidate the bonded debt, raise the value of every man's property in the township. Besides, who would benefit more than the shopkeepers by the in crease in the number of artisans employed, and the con sequent increase of customers ? He (Mr. Laird) was not opposed to, but would support the completion of the works ; and, if the question of trades and manufactures was settled, he should retire from the commission, satis fied that, if the banks of the pool were lined with indus trial occupations, Birkenhead would be made. The docks might be finished ; but don't spend three or four years in completing them, and let the place be starved in the meantime. the immense number of visitors who travelled by rail, hundreds of persons, tempted by the extraordinary fineness of the wea ther, patronised the road, which was thronged with vehicles of every grade and fashion—from the costermonger's donkey cart to the aristocratic four-in-band —recalling the almost forgotten glories of the Queen's highway on the Derby day. The Grand Stand was resplendent with summer fashions, and the private stands were crowded with the members and friends of the stewards and the gentlemen of the Jockey Club; in short, a more brilliant meeting, both as regards the number of visitcrs and the fineness of the weather, has never been seen on Epsom Downs. There was a very large attendance of the nubility, the Duke of Nemours and many other foreign nobles being present. THE CAREW STAKES, Of 5 soya. each, with 50 . added. MEETINGS IN BANKRUPTCY.

THOMPSON having urged the electors to vote for the Red list " entire," a vote of thanks was awarded to the chair, and the meeting closed with three cheers for " Trade and Manufactures."

At the distance West Australian, Sittingbourne, and Cineas singled themselves out, and a very exciting race home ensued with the three, running head and head tone end of the inclosure, a fine struggle ending in favour of West Austra lian by a neck.

" My DEAR SIR,.•-I have, in connexion with Mr. Bras sey and Mr. M'Cormick, who, with myself, have a deep interest in Birkenhead, agreed to advance and risk a large amount for the purpose of helping through the docks, taking in payment such assets as the trustees possess, and the balance in bonds, and undertaking to complete the work in three years ; and I have also induced my friends Messrs. Peto and Betts to join us. We consider we have done all we should be called on to do ; and, if the rate payers and owners of property in Birkenhead do not choose to exert themselves to put in trustees who will command harmony and unity of action, they must abide the result. I have made up my mind not to be a party man in Birkenhead. I have given my name to a list of candidates who, if elected, bill, in my opinion, be most likely to benefit the township. It is, however, a matter for the ratepayers to settle. I can only add that the ten der sent in is conditional, and the rejection of the blue list will put back the dock, for years.—Yours truly, (Signed) " WILLIAM JACKSON. " J. Townsend, Esq." Mr. Y.

The EPSOM TOWN PLATE, was won by Mr. Drinkald's Snar ry, beating four others; and the DURDANS STAKES, by Lord Londesborough's Golddust, beating eight others. THURSDAY, MAY 26.—The aspect of the Downs bore a strik ing contrast to the scene of yesterday; the course was almost deserted, and the occupants of the stand were confined to a few of the aristocracy and the professionals. The weather was very hot and close. The chief race was for the Two Year Old Stakes, which was won with great ease by Lord Derby's Der vish, by Cowl ; after winning, he was backed for next year's Derby, at 20 to 1.

FRIDAY, MAY 27.—The attendance was exceedingly great for an Oaks day, his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge and his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar being present. The weather continued fine until after the race for the Railway Plate, when a tempest of thunder and light ning burst over the course, when the rush for shelter was ter rific, the interior of the stand being crammed to suffocation. The racing was interesting and the competitors numerous. The MEMBERS' PLATE, of 50 soya. One mile and a quarter. Lord John Scott's Young England .... Whitehouse 1 Mr. J.

Miss Tennyson was first off, but the lead was soon taken by Lady Louisa, Ca therine Heyes lyir , on her left, and the others close up, The Queen being in the rear. At the top of the hill Catherine Heyes showed in advance, but was headed by Mistletoe soon after, and remained in front to Tattenham Corner, where Ca therine Heyes resumed the lead. Mistletoe was in difficulties on reaching the straight, where Catherine Heyes had a strong lead, went on with it by herself, and won in the commonest of canters by a length and a half.

Lord Clifden, Mr. Meiklatn, Mr. Payne, and Mr. H. Cooke, are the new stewards for Manchester races, next year. Young England, by Gladiatior, was claimed after winning the Members' Plate, at Epsom, by Mr. J. Dawson, for 200 sovs. Lord Derby's brood mare Verbena, by Velocipede, (the dam of Ithuriel, Uriel, and Umbriel,) died last week, three days after foaling a colt to The Hero. Mr. It. E. Cooper's Empress colt, the winner of the Woodcote Stakes, at Epsom, has been named Woodcote. He was pur chased for moo, at Lord Spencer's sale of yearlings. 7 he jockeys who rode in the Derby were presented, after the race, with a dozen of champagne, by Mr. John Scott, the trainer of West Australian. The principal winner on the Derby is Mr. Bowes, to the extent of :830,000; the Hon. Gen. Anson, Lord Strathmore, the Hon. G. Fitzroy, and Mr. Wyndham Smith are also large winners, but not to anything like that extent. Mr. Davis, the leviathan, lost £48,000 on the Derby, and a large suns on the Oaks and other races, making his losses on the week about £70,000. He has determined, for the future, only to bet against horses when at the post. • A subscription has been set on foot, and liberally responded to, in the town of Shrewsbury, to present Mr. Frail, the clerk of the course, with a substantial testimonial of the high opinion entertained of his exertions in behalf of the races. Jouvence, by Sting, won both the French Derby and Oaks, at Chantilly. She is trained by Robert Sherwood, at Epsom, and was ridden by his son. She is now in England, but w►ll return to the Continent in time to run for the Brussels Derby. Newton races take place on Thursday and Friday next. The entries for the various stakes are much above the average, and will, no doubt. insure for this favourite meeting an increased amount of the support of the sporting public of this county. A new regulation is to be adopted, by which a fine will be in flicted upon the owner of any horse which shall be withdrawn. after his number shall have been exhibited. Alfred Day was not allowed to ride Cineas for the Derby, in consequence of a connection of his having laid immense sums against the horse, although both he and his brother John had backed him for a large stake. The supporters of Cineas ima gine, that had Alfred been up he would have won the race, the horse having lost at least three lengths during the race by a collision with Cheddar. West Australian, the winner of the Derby, was bred in 1850, by Mr. Bowes, and is by Melbourne, out of Mr. Bowes's Mowerina, by Touchstone, out of Emma,by Whisker. He is a bay colt, standing 15 hands 3i inches high, has a rather long, lean, but blood-like head, good neck, fine shoulders and depth of girth, good back and quarters, great length from hip to round hone, and a very sound looking animal, with no lumber about him, yet very powerful ; altogether, perhaps, as fine a specimen of the race horse as has been seen for years. He is marked with white on the hind fetlock joints, and coronet on near side, with a white blaze also in his face. At the sale of Lord Spencer's yearlings, at Tattersall's, last week, a brown colt, by Cotherstone, out of Polydora, by Priam, brought 305 guineas ; a brown colt, by Van Tromp, out of The Duchess of Lorraine, by Pantaloon, 250 guineas ; a bay filly, by Melbourne, out of Treacherous, by Pantaloon, 74 guineas ; a bay colt, by Cotherstone, out of Sequidilla, by Sheet Anchor, 61 guineas ; a bay filly, by Cotherstone, out of Conscience, 61 guineas ; a bay filly, by Cotherstone, out of The Wryneck, 56 guineas ; a chesnut colt, by Cotherstone, out of Drum Major's dam, 31 guineas ; a brown filly, by Van Tromp, out of Annette, 21 guineas ; a bay filly, by Cotherstone, out of Drogheda, 19 guineas; a chesnut filly, by Cotherstone, out of Lady Gay Spanker, 19 guineas.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1853. 6, Hugh Matheson (audit) District Court, 11 6, William Waudby King (proof and div.) 10, Michael Cox (2nd) 10, Samuel and James Knight (proof and div ) Ditto, 11 MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTEL — The resumption of business this week has developed a very firm market, with gradually advancing prices for all descriptions of goods and yarns, and a demand quite as extensive as is in the power of producers to supply. Neither the accounts from America, at the beginning of the week, which indicated a decline in the value of Cotton, nor those later on, indicative of more stability, have had any effect upon the Liverpool Cotton market, so that there has been no dis turbing influence at work from that cause. With respect to the wages question, the operatives and their employers are still at issue, and although an open rupture, with some excep tions, is avoided, considerable uneasiness and dissatisfaction exists among the employed. Yarns have been generally in good demand all the week, in all cases at extreme rates, and in most at an advance of -id to id per lb. within the last ten days. For India the inquiry continues to a fair extent, at gradually hardening prices; whilst for common 40s, the production of which has been all but suspended by the wages question, fully d more is obtained, the price paid being 00 ; but 10d is asked and has been held for. For Water Yarns for Germany, the Mediterranean, and China, a fair demand exists, at an advance of i.cl per lb.; and, for the home trade, warps and welts are id to 4d higher, according to number and quality. The lower numbers of Water Yarns are an exception. and spinners of those descriptions are by no means' doing well. Cloth is very firm, the tendency of prices being against the buyer. For 40- inch shirtings there is less inquiry, but this is of little moment, the manufacturers being well in order. Printing Cloths con tinue in fair demand, and for some kinds an advance is re quired. There has been rather less doing by the Greek houses during the week. Madapollams are in request, at an advance, as also jaconetts. T Cloths and Long Cloths have an upward tendency, as is the case with domestics ; manufacturers of which are pbliged to hold out for higher prices. in consequence of the advance they have to pay for warps and weft, but they find it very difficult to secure their relative position as regards the cost of materials they use, and the value of the manufac tured article, unfavourable as that position previously was. LEEDS.-An average amount of business, for the season, was done both on Saturday and Tuesday in the Cloth Hall, and the same may be said as to the merchants' warehouses during the week. Prices are firm, the progress of the colonial wool sales in London affording no prospect of the cost of the raw material being less than at present. BRADFORD.—We cannot note any material change in the state of the Worsted trade since this day week. The trans actions in Wools, Yarns, and Pieces have not been very exten sive during the week, but they have been at firm prices. Indeed there appears no probablity of prices falling. HALIFAX.—The only noticeable change in the trade in our Piece Hall on Saturday was that a little more was done in low mixtures, but not, we believe, at remunerative prices. Yarns are firm, but the demand not active. Wools change hands slowly, and the late quotations are stiffly maintained. HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been quiet during the past week. There is a slackness in the demand for all kinds of Woollens which may be expected now for a few weeks, con sidering the length and briskness of the nearly ended season. Stocks are not much on the increase, and prices remain firm. In Wools not much has been done, brokers being up in London, attending the present sales. Business transacted has been , done at former rates. LErcEsmn.—Prices of Wools have been steady during the last fortnight, but they are very firm. There is a very good demand for Woollen Hosiery, both for shipping and for the home fall trade. The operatives are in full employment at ad vanced wages, and are likely to remain so for some time to come, as the production from the frames will be much less than usual for the next three months. NOTTINGHAIT. — The Lace and Hosiery trades are each in a less healthy state than we have had occasion to report for some time past—the latter being to some extent overdone by too large a production. The dulness with respect to the former is owing to fashion being at present decidedly against us, except for silk goods, for which there is yet a tolerably fair demand. Silk is yet scarce and very dear, as is also Cotton for each trade, and there does not appear to be a prospect of any im mediate reduction in the price of either one or the other. Limerick, ses to 52s per cwt. landed. There is every appear ance of still lower rates.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CORN MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAY 27.—We have a moderate attendance of buyers at to-day's market. Wheats are in tolerable, but by no means extensive request, at the rates of Tuesday for general qualities, and the finest descriptions of American are the turn in favour of sellers. The trade continues to buy steadily of Flour, and several further parcels have again been taken to hold over, flesh American barrels commanding fully 3d improve ment; French sacks as well as Spanish supporting late prices. Beans remain dull of sale, and in Barley, Malt, and Pease there is no change to note. Oats and Oatmeal move very slowly to day, but at no quotable difference of value. American Indian Corn, from the late arrivals, is offered freely ex ship, and having no demand at all adequate to the supply, prices of both white and yellow must be written 6d per quarter lower.

Flour in steady request to consumers, without change in value. Oats id per bushel dearer. Choice Oatmeal was held for an advance of 6d per load, and we raise our quotations accord.- ing,ly. but all other descriptions go off slowly at our previous currency. Other articles without change. WAKEFIELD, MAY 27.—At to-day's market the arrivals of grain are to a fair extent. Fresh Wheat continues in request, and the improved condition enables holders to obtain for such extreme prices. On the whole, trade is firm, and full rates are realised for all descriptions. Barley is quite as dear. Oats and Shelling are a shade higher. Beans are scarce, and bring our highest quotations. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAY 28.—We had a small sup ply of Wheat at market this morning, which sold readily at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter on last week's prices. South Country and Foreign met a fair demand at a similar advance. In Barley and Oats no alteration in value can be noted. Malt continues to meet a fair sale at our quotations. A better de mand for Flour to-day, and in some instances a slight advance in prices was obtained. WISBECH, MAY 28.—At to-day's market we had a moderate quantity of Wheat offered, which sold at fully ls. per qr. higher than . last week. Beans and Oats very scarce, and rather dearer. CORK, MAY 28.—Flour is still Dressed on the market, and bUyers obtained a further reduction of 6d per cwt. on stale parcels. Foreign Wheat was offered lower, which led to some -extensive sales. Indian Corn declined 28 6ci per ton ; the de mand is slack. DUBLIN, MAY 27.—Although there was rather more dis position to do business in Wheat to-day, there was no sufficient concession in prices to induce extensive transactions. Oats of prime quality met a brisk demand, at an advance of about fid per barrel. Barley of all kinds scarcely saleable. Indian Corn, though offered at a reduction of is per quarter, was very slow of sale.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 27.—The market for Beef does not im prove, buyers cannot be induced to operate, except to supply their immediate wants, and the sales of the week are again on a most limited scale. There is a moderate retail demand for Pork, without alteration in prices. The demand for Bacon continues good, the deliveries are large, and prices are well supported. Shoulders, also, are taken off readily ex ship. About 200 tons Lard on the spot and for delivery have been taken this week, at steady prices. For Cheese very high prices have been made. MAY 30.—The Butter market has been very dull, and prices have further declined 10s to 12s per cwt. since our last report. Dealers are unwilling to purchase to any extent at the quota tions, and holders would most likely give way is to 2s to make better progress in sales.
