Oun SHARE MAIIKET has been extremely active
since the prospects of peace have improved, and there
has been a general rush of speculators and investers
into it. Prices have continued to advance each day
since the receipt of the news, and they are this evening
at the highest point of the week, with a decided pre-
ponderance of buyers. The advance up to this time
has been about 3 per cent. in the heavy stocks and
more on the lighter. Midland stock, and Dutch
Rhenish shares, and also our Royal Insurance shares
are being much bought. We annex prices :—Cale-
donian, 284 8 ; East Lancashire, 18; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 798 2 1; London and North Western,
961 i 7 s 4 7 2; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,

COTTON.—The business during the early part of the
week had been very quiet, but rather steadier, when
on Thursday the receipt of intelligence that Russia had
unconditionally accepted the conditions of peace caused
an immediate excitement ; holders withdrew their
stocks or asked much higher rates, while buyers were
eager to purchase, and no less than 15,000 bales
changed hands, at an advance of id to fd per lb. on
previous rates, the better qualities being in most re-
quest. The sales of the week up to Frinay reached
58,750, of which 8,930 were taken on speculation, and
5,120 for export, leaving 44,700 for the trade. To-
DAY there was again a good amount of business done,
the sales amounting to 10,000 bales, including 2,000
for speculation and export ; prices were firmly main-
tained, but there was no advance from Friday. The
following is a comparison of present rates with those
of the corresponding period of last year :-

THE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.

THE Parliamentary campaign is about to commence,
the last day of the month having been fixed upon for
the opening of the session, and the PREMIER has
issued the customary circular to his political sup-
porters, requesting their early attendance on account
of the important business to be brought forward
early. It has happened peculiarly fortunate for Lord
PALMERSTON that the consent of Russia to accept
the propositions of Austria as the basis for nego-
tiations for peace has arrived so opportunely. It will
enable him to make an important feature of it in the
speech from the Throne, which otherwise might have

[JANUARY 22, 185-6,

been bare of gratifying interest ; and to indu!
profusely in congratulations on the prospects
are opening to the country. He will, . doubtless;
not be sparing of the opportunity to attribute the
altered tone of Russian policy to the vigorous Pre'
parations which had been made to carry on the war
for another campaign, and also to the policy whieh
had been pursued in entering into the treaty kith
(
Sweden, so as to isolate Russia from any hope eh
assistance from neighbouring territories. With such
a subject upon which to enlarge, he may boldly clai7,
excuse for other deficiencies, and, taking all the credlb
for the result, demand renewed public confidence for
his administration. If a permanent peace should b
the effect of the negociations which are about to be
entered into, and public feeling appears to antiell33te
it with some confidence, the CHANCELLOR OF F
EXCHEQUER will have comparatively little difficulty
in preparing his Budget,for,whatever maybe the este°t
of his demands, the hope of their speedy termination
would induce a patient submission to the burden.
The public, however, will not be satisfied if the
war is again to be made the excuse for indefinitely
postponing all other legislative business. It 1113.,/
certainly afford a pretext for some prolonged tu;
cussion, to end as usual in nothing, and also t
important questions on the subject of finance ; 1311
there must be abundant time for deliberation on other
measures which demand attention, and the opP°r*
tunity ought not to be neglected. The Bank Charter
Act will require a careful revision, and its provisi°
made more in accordance with altered circumstances;
so that we shall no longer experience the anomaly
forced hoards of gold at the very time when it 1
most wanted for circulation. There are also sever"'
other -reforms which will readily suggest themsebr
particularly in the administration of the law, bie
punishment of criminals, &c. ; and it is to be lleri
that the forthcoming session will not be allowed °
pass over without some more practical results than'
have been lately experienced.

pepsia. Various remedies, alleged infallible, were tried in vain,
and for a long time I was never twenty-four hours without violent
pain; indeed, I was unfitted for the performance of my daily
duties. I was induced to try your Food. In less than an hour I
found relief, and my recovery was very rapid. The duties which
previously had become an intolerable burden, became a delightful
exercise, and I have since aecomplished more labour with less
fatigue than I ever expected to be able to perform. I have never
had a return of my complaint. I remain, &c., D. Thomas."

LINES
WRITTEN AT SEA DURING A SERIOUS ILLNESS.

THE sun declining still doth cast its glare
O'er wide expanse of calmly-motioned sea:
Some mystic power commingles with the air,
Sadd'rung the soul amid tranquillity.
'Twere bard to die,—to die on this lone deck;
A stranger even to the uncouth few
That share with me a solitary speck
'Midst the vast ocean I so faintly view.
0, friends and kindred, ties and scenes endeared
By dreary absence and its untold ill !
The heart cannot disown you—still unseated,
It owns yon 'bind it to earth firmly still.
And must I know no more your fond embrace-?
No more.my eager hand by yours be prest ?
Ne'er view again scenes mem'ry well can trace
Through hours of fever'd sickness and unrest.

Was it for me decreed—so sad a fate !
That deep 'mid ocean's bed should be my grave ?
Here the stray sea-bird wildly seeks its mate,
And all seems loneliness, and sky, and wave.

But greedy sharks now follow in our wake,
And precognite, maybe, my coming end::--
My shuddering soul ! look upward and forsake
Distempered fancies—Heaven may yet befriend!
0, God ! avert the dread impending doom ;
Restore my feeble frame, and let me live;—
Or, if this may not be, dispel this gloom,
And resignation calm and holy give.
Alas ! I have too seldom from this sought
That peace which, sicken'd now, I fain were giv'n :
0, great Creator ! purify my thought,
Too earthly yet to fit my soul for Heaven.

IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING.

From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of
St. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington.
Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation
of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre-
parations; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr.
Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re-
sort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have produced
are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com-
pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three
(at most four) will, in the short space of half an houP or so, com-
pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a
mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude
after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty
to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons
will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of
it. EDWARD PAGE.

To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in
a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power
and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.
Price Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and Ils. per box. Sold by all Medicine
Vendors.

German, and French Languages.

Another instance of the good effects of Keating's Cough Lozenges,
upwards of twenty-one yeare.standing:
Liverpool, 6, Bold-lace, Jan. 31, 1848.
111 v DEAR 51R,71 have great pleasure in informing you that
my wife has received great benefit from the use of Keating's
Cough Lozenges, you recommended her a short time since.
Previous to this she had been troubled with a severe cough, and
was under some of our first medical men here without experi-
encing any relief; however, Keating's Lozenges have done
wonders.—With respect, believe me, yours faithfully,
THOS. MAYOR.

Cure of Cough after attack of Iyht.mza
Dover, 25th February, 1848.
a,—Please to send to Messrs. Barclay and Sons for enclosure
another dozen of your excellent Cough Lozenges. Having lately
had a severe attack of influenza, attended with violent Cough, for
five days, preventing my lying down in bed, I made trial of your
Lozenges, and am haptiy to say. with the blessing of God, they
proved of the greatest service, and their use produced almost
intsantaneous relief. I give you this intelligence from a desire
that others might also be led to make the trial. I hope they will
experience the same result. Yours truly' 0. 11,kmuitooK.

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 rerson, 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.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 9.—There is a moderate retail demand for
American beef. Prices for line sorts are tolerably well supported,
such being relatively scarce; but for ordinary descriptions a
decline of 35 to 5s per tierce must be quoted. The late arrivals of
new pork have proved of pretty good quality, and have found
buyers at our quotations. Bacon moves off at full prices, as
landed. With increased supplies, lower rates, however, must be
expected. There is a healthier feeling towards cheese, and
advanced prices have been made for tine qualities.
• - - -

FEB. 11.—There is no improvement in butter. Thu market
continues rather quiet; the sales, however, during the last week
were to a greater extent than for some time past, and generally at
pretty steady rates, but in some instances sellers had to give way
Is per cwt, in order to meet the views of buyers. The stocks held
here are small, and all is likely to go into consumption at about
the present prices. Waterford, &c., favourite brands, 105 s to
107 s; Kilkenny, Wexford, and Clonmel, 105 s to 106 s; Sligo and
Dundalk, 98s to 102 e per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland
from the 2nd to the Bth of February, both inclusive, 8,235 firkins,
28 kegs, 292 crocks, 3iB boxes, 30 barrels butter; 106 bales bacon;
6 hogsheads and 8 tierces hams ; 12 tierces and 60 kegs lard.
