commendation is, that everybody can sing it. In short, it is just
the song for the lively parties of the season."

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 11.—We had quite a retail trade in beef
to-day, at lower rates, many buyers being induced to try the
English country markets, where prices rule lower than here at
present. There was no alteration in the value of sheep, but the
trade was very sluggish. Number of beasts, 9,194 ; sheep, 6,970,
SALFORD, FRB. 6.—The beef trade firm at former prices, and
a good clearance made. Best beef, 6,1 to 7d • middling, 50 to
6d ; cows, 4d to 53d ; best wedders, 6d to 7d ; heavy weights, 6d to

calves, 161.
DUBLIN, FEB. 7. —Small supply, with prices a shade better,
especially mutton. A small market also of pigs, which were of a
better finish than usual. Beef, sinking offal, 52s to 56s ; top, 60s

PIANO-FORTE TUNING.

At the suggestion of many of his Customers, W. R. takes this
mode of intimating, and submitting for approval, a Scale of
Charges for Tuning Piano-fortes by the Year.
That Piano-fortes be Tuned by a competent r erson. at regular
intervals, is of importance even in the case of an indifferent in-
strument, but it is indispensably requisite where the preservation,
or otherwise, of a really good one is involved.
The frequently-expressed satisfaction of those Ladies who have
done W. It. the honour to try this system, is the best recomMen-

dation in its favour.
SCALE OF CHARGES FOR TTTNING PIANO-FORTES BY THE YEAR.

New Strings nre included in the above charges; and each in-
strument should be Tuned at regular periods, to ensure its being
always in excellent order. The same rates will be charged for
Piano-fortes within Twelve Miles of Town, with the addition of
expenses. Tunings in the Country carefully attended to on the
different journies.

SICKNESS IN THE FRENCH ARMY.

Last year the complaints from the Crimea, relative to
sickness and mortality from disease, were chiefly directed to
the miserably defective arrangements in the British camp
complaint as to the state of our allies was little if at all heard:
This absence of adverse observation was by many conjectured
to arise more from the overwhelming magnitude of the evil
among our troops, which, by comparison, obliterated the
impression created by smaller sufferings. That such a con-
jecture was the true one is now borne out by the fact that the
French army has during the present winter been said to
suffer very severely. The correspondent of the Timms,
writing from Marseilles, on the 20th February, says :
Every ship which arrives from Constantinople brings a
greater or less number of soldiers labouring under typhus
fever, scurvy, or frost-bite. The mail steam-packet Jourdain,
which arrived on Saturday night, brought 127 passengers, of
whom eight were suffering so seriously from typhus fever
that it was found necessary to land them at the island of the
Frioul, under the charge of an officer of the Board of Health.
The director of the Sanitary Board of Marseilles is unremit-
ting in his precautions to prevent the propagation of contagi-
ous diseases in the town. Surgeon Malinowski, of the Jourdain,
a Pole by birth, unfortunately dial on Monday of determination
of blood to the bead, caused, it is believed, by anxiety and
fatigue in attending the sick. His funeral was attended by
the captain and crew of the Jourdain, and by all his country-
men resident at Marseilles. The Sardinian steamer Italia,
from Constantinople the Bth instant, arrived on Sunday. She
brought 103 -soldiers -from the Crimea, of whom it was new-

sary to land 80 at the lazaretto of the Frioul. The steam-
packet Gauge, bringing the Constantinople mails of the 11th
inst., arrived last evening. She brought 215 passengers.
Many of the soldiers being infected, the packet was placed in
temporary quarantine, until the Sanitary Board held a con-
sultation. The sick were sent to the Frioul, and the Gange
was admitted to pratique. An officer who arrived by the
Gauge states that there are 25,000 of the French army of the
East in hospital, viz., 15,000 in the Crimea, and 10,000 at Con-
stantinople. The prevailing diseases are typhus fever and
scurvy. This statement is in some degree confirmed by a
private letter received by a shipowner here from one of his
captains employed in the transport service, in which he says
that there are 4,000. French troops in hospital at Eupatoria.
The mortality among the horses in the Crimea is said to be
very great. The commander of a transport, at present in the
Joliette, says that of 150 horses he took from here to the Cri-
mea, it was found necessary to shoot 100, glanders having
broken out amongst them. General Lebceuf, of the Artillery,
arrived in the Gauge. He has left for Paris, where he is to
take the command of the Artillery of the Imperial Guard.

THE RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET.

A letter from Inkerman of the 7th, in the Presse d' Orient,
says :—" Preparations are now being made for the total de-
struction of the Russian vessels sunk in the harbour of Sebas-
topol. This operation, some persons say, will be performed
by throwing very heavy shells, so that they shall drop perpen-
dicularly on the vessels, and, by bursting, knock the vessels to
pieces. These vessels, however, must be by this time half
destroyed by the sea worm, the teredo navalis, which is pe-
culiar to the Black Sea. In order to give an idea of the
ravages committed by this little insect, I may mention the case
of the English steamer Gertrude, which has never quitted the
Black Sea since the commencement of the war. She has been
employed in the service of the port for the daily wants of the
army. The captain lately received orders to return to Eng-
land, but he replied that, in consequence of the ravages made
by this worm on his vessel, she was not in a fit state to under-
take the voyage. This insect finds its way between the cop-
per and the bottoms of the vessels, and then eats into the
wood. The English have sought a remedy for the evil, and
have made experiments on the Caradoc, the Banshee, and the
Telegraph. One side of their bottoms has been covered with
a kind of gum, and the other left in its usual state. After a
certain time the latter part was covered with a layer of what
resembled moss, and the vessels answered their helm better on
one side than on the other. These experiments, however, were
not complete, as the above vessels have not remained con-
stantly in the Black Sea.

STANDARD-OFFICE, Ramat 4, Two P.M.

LIVERPOOL COR.v ax-‘r‘rxr....B..—tHis DAY.
In the anticipation of an immediate return of peace, the
markets of the kingdom, during the past few days, have re-
lapsed into a state of complete imbecility. Farmers appear
onsions to realise, and have been free sellers of Wheat at a
decline, in many instances, of 3s. to 4s. per quarter. Foreign
Wheat has not been so much pressed, many holders being of
opinion that the present panic is not fully warranted by the
circumstances of the trade, and that a higher range of prices
than those now current will be necessary to bring tor% ard
sufficient to carry us over the six months intervening from
this period to next harvest. Here the trade since Friday has
continued exceedingly dull in all its branches, and almost
every article was obtainable on lower terms, without, leay..
ever, enabling sellers to progress except in the most limited
extent. .
The wind having been light and rather contrary, we have
had few fresh arrivals into this port since the middle of last
week. The addition consists chiefly in British and Irish
Wheat, Oats and Oatmeal to a moderate amount, and of 2.700
quarters American Indian Corn; the weet's export of this
last article exceeding the import by nearly 2,000 quarters.
The market to day was very poorly attended by bt.sere.
Wheat was 6d. per bushel, and Oats 2d per nushel loser OA
the week. Thera was al,o a fall of Is. per barrel, and 2s.
per sack on Flour; and a tall of ls. on Oatmeal. Indian Corn
Is. per quarter lower ; and every article was dull of sale.
