DEATH OF LORD RAGLAN.

IT was stated on Friday,with a kind of semi-official
authority, that, owing to the serious indisposition of
Lord RAGLAN, whose iron constitution had at length
given way to the combined effects of fatigue and
climate, he was about to be recalled by his own request
from his command in the Crimea, and to be replaced
by General SIMPSON. The announcement was so
positively made, and at the same time appeared so
probable, that it was generally believed; but the same
night the Ministers in both Houses of Parliament
took especial pains to deny its accuracy, affirming that
the indisposition of Lord RAGLAN was but temporary,
and that there was reason to hope a few days only
would restore him to his ordinary health, as the last
accounts stated that he was considerably better. This
was reassuring to those who viewed with some appre-
hension a change in the chief command of our army at
this critical period of the war ; but not many hours
elapsed when the public were startled by an official
announcement from Lord PANMErIiE, the Minister of
War, that, instead of being considerably better, the
Commander-in-Chief was actually dead. It was so
sudden, following so quickly after the other state-
ments, that it was scarcely credited, until the nature
of the communication left no room for further doubt.
Whatever may have been the error of the Ministers
in imposing so arduous a duty upon a man so far ad-
vanced in life as Lord RAGLAN, and who had never
before had the command of an army, there are few will
dispute that he performed the task entrusted to him
to the best of his ability. Any deficiency in energy,
either mental or physical, was the necessary conse-
quence of age; and if some blame might be attached to
his management of details, we must not overlook the
faults of the system in which he had been trained, and
the difficulty at his age of adapting long-taught ex-
perience to modern requirements. His knowledge of
warfare was learned under the Great Master of the
Art in a former age ; and, after forty years' repose, it
was a gallant devotion of himself to the call of his
country, at a time of need, to leave the ease, which he
had nobly earned, to undergo the fatigues and priva-
tions of a campaign in the Crimea. He is entitled to
the grateful remembrance of his countrymen ; and

SCIENCE AND ART.

A STATUE of Allan Ramsay is to be erected in Edinburgh,
where a memorial to the poetical barber has long been a desi-
deratum.

AN ENGINEER of Vienna, Herr Francis Stiebbler, has in-
vented elastic carriage wheels, which can be employed as well
upon railways as upon common roads. A patent has been
granted.
THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT requests the directors of
railways in the empire to plant young trees, of a description
indicated, at convenient distances along the lines, intending
them to replace eventually the posts upon which telegraph
wires are at present affixed.
A NEW EXPEDITION into Central Africa is about to be
undertaken, at his own cost, by M. Brun Rollet, a Sardinian,
who for the last twenty-three years has been residing in
Khartum, chiefly engaged in mercantile pursuits. He intends
to start from Lake No,-or Nu, by some called Kura, the object
being to penetrate westward up the Bahr el Ghazal. M. Rollet
believes he will find his reward in rich stores of ivory, gums,
&c., to be found in the regions he is about to visit. The expe-
dition will consist of six boats, manned by about sixty men
all well armed.

DR. HUMBOLDT, a nephew of the great Humboldt, has es-
tablished a hospital at Havana, to test a theory of inoculation
for the yellow fever. The inoculation is followed by a
moderate fever and illness of about a week. A number
of soldiers have submitted to the process, and some English.
men and Americans. A letter from the Havana states that it
goes on with continued success. A commission of French
medical men, who had come from Martinique to study this
important discovery, have expressed their entire approbation
of it.

THE FRUITS or A HALF CENTIIELY.-Fifty years ago steam
boats were unknown—now there are 3,000 afloat on American
waters alone. In 1800 there was not a single railway in the
world—now there are 10,000 miles in the United States, and
about 22,000 in America and England. Half a century ago it
took some weeks to convey news from Washington to New
Orleans—now not as many seconds as it then did weeks.
Fifty years ago the most rapid printing press was worked by
hand power—now steam prints 20,000 papers an hour on a
single press. " Now" is a great fellow, but will be much
bigger half a century hence.—Philadelphia Ledger.

OUR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

THE Board of Trade returns, which have just been
published, showing the extent of our Export and
Import trade, up to the end of May, may be viewed
either favourably or otherwise, according to the par-
ticular bias with which they are considered. In
monthscomparingab about
ffour
ri
.tehrielhiodnyesee.laabrru,etdth:l,raeleuoaey%pofipfrieaienrxgspoatrhtfesalefloinorragtphaoeilfiovonef
to tho month of May, the decrease is only £372,950,
a decrease which is even less than might have been
expected, when all the attendant circumstances are
taken into consideration. This is further shown in
taking the several items into account—for while
woollen manufactures, metals, haberdashery, and
hardwares, are the principal articles on which there
is a falling off, cotton wholly and partly manufac-
tured and several other articles show an increase.
The decrease may be attributed to the pause which
has taken place in shipments to Australia ; but, on the
other hand, it must be remembered that trade is in a
more healthy state, being of a bond fide and less of a
speculative character, and that without doubt the re-
turns will be far more remunerative to shippers than
during the period with which the comparis-on is made.

It was hardly to be expected but that the long pro-
tracted operations of the war and the absorption of
shipping for the transport service would have some
influence on the extent of our export trade ; but there
is nothing in the facts as elicited by these returns
which offers the slightest ground for despondency ;
and as the decrease on the one month *so much less
in proportion than on the five months, the most satis-
factory evidence is afforded of an improvement, a
result which will, no doubt, be more progressive
should the continuance of fine weather realise the
hopes of an abundant harvest. Indeed, we have rea-
son for thankfulness, that, notwithstanding our being
engaged in active warfare by sea and land with the
next greatest State in Europe, our commerce has met
so little interruption.

With reference to the quantities imported and re-
tained for home consumption of articles for food, the
differences are not very great. There is a falling-off
in wheat and flour, which is easily accounted for ;
there is also a decrease in sugar, owing to the large
quantities taken in the preceding months, but, with
these exceptions, there is little change to note. Tea,
cocoa, wines, spirits, fruits, &c., show an increase ;
coffee, rice, and tobacco, a slight decrease : so that, on
the whole, the ability of consumption has expe;ienced
no sensible diminution. In the comparative Imports
of raw materials for manufactures, hemp and tallow
show a considerable increase ; but other articles have
diminished. These branches of trade are, however,
influenced by extraneous circumstances, over which
we have but little controul, and can, therefore, hardly
be taken as a criterion of commercial prosperity.

NEW BRANCHES OF INDUSTRY.

Ax anonymous writer in the New World has some-
what skilfully grouped together many of the wonderful
exchanges which advancing civilisation has effected,
and the spirit of enterprise brought to their shores.
The . picture is almost equally true and graphic when
applied to either hemisphere.' To take a condensed
view of the opening of new branches of industry
Among the two or three hundred thousand vegetables
and animals that God has created to satisfy our natural
and artificial wants, there are very few that we have
yet acclimated or domesticated, or know how to em-
ploy. However few they may be, we continue to
increase them, and our power to make acquisitions
would appear to have no limits but those of creation.
A considerable number of the plants which grow
among us have been brought very recently from cli-
mates quite different from ours. It will be useful to
notice this fact. Thus, Asia has given us hemp, the
cherry, the peach, the French bean, the tarragon, the
onion, rhubarb, mint, the mulberry, the citron, the
lime, the orange, the chesnut, the pine of Siberia, the
pine of Jerusalem, the plane-tree of the East, the aloe,
the rose of Provence, the mallow rose, the millet, the
cypress, and so forth. Grain and buck-wheat we get
from the Levant, and the olive from Africa. Europe
has borrowed from America the potato, the maize,
tobacco, the banana, the love-apple, the strawberry,
the medlar-tree, and a hundred other trees, fruits,
plants, and flowers. Within three or four centuries
Europe and America have been literally invaded with
vegetables from all parts of the globe. We live almost
entirely upon what has been borrowed from other
countries, and it is but the advance-guard of the im-
mense quantity and variety which science, and the
rapid intercommunication between the different parts
of the world will give us. We are at liberty to choose
from the general herbal of creation all that suits us.
An inventory of all the riches we appropriate would
be a long one. It would be almost endless labour to
give such a catalogue of creation. To glance at a few
only of the alimentary plants,—the arto carpe (so
precious to the inhabitants of Tahiti), the sagotier, the
palm cabbage, the bamboo of Celebes (of which the

AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER,

officer of note in the English service, accompanied
Lord Durham, on his embassy to St. Petersburg, as
far as Constantinople, where, joining Captain Drink-
water, of the English naval service, the two proceeded
on a sort of quasi-secret service expedition in the
regions referred to. At the period alluded to, there
existed strong apprehensions on the part of the British
Government as to sinister intentions against Turkey
on the part of Russia ; and these two officers were
deputed by Lord Palmerston to investigate the actual
state of matters in the East. In the course of his tour
of inspection, Lord De Ros visited all the ports on the
Euxine, including the scenes of our present military
and naval exploits. He thus describes

ANAPA, KERTCII, AND THE STRAIT OF TENIKALE.

Nov. 7th.—By daylight we found ourselves under Mount
Caucasus, on the Circassian coast, and being to the southward
of our course, we coasted upwards till we reached Anapa, which
is a gloomy, desolate-looking place, like a fortified barrack-
yard, with extensive entrenchments, a great many guns, and
a number of stacks of hay and grain, but not a vessel in the
roadstead, nor any sign of trade or commerce, nor, indeed,
anything of a port or harbour. After examining it as well as
we could, considering the weather, which was dreadful, our
steamer's head was turned westward. In the evening, we ran
up the Straits of Yenical6, and are now at anchor in the port
of Kertsch, a place of some commerce, with many vessels in
the roads. Kertsch is remarkable for having been the seat of
government of Mithridates, the famous King of Pontus, and
one of the most inveterate and dangerous enemies of the
Romans. Upon the hills above the town are seen a number
of hillocks or ancient tumuli; in such as have been opened,
many curious relics have been found, showing them to have
been tombs of princes and warriors, but no tradition exists as
to who they were or when they lived.
A few days afterwards, he proceeded towards the
south-west, where he visited and inspected, with con-
siderable care, the

The Hair Restored, Baldness and Greyness Prevented by

turning grey, promotes its growth on paces that have been bald
for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and gradual:y restores
its natural colour, without the use of five. It cleanses the head
from scurf, and imparts a beautiful transparent, glossy appear-
ance, and keeps it in any desired form. In inducing the growth
of whiskers, eyebrows, mustachios, its effect is surprising.—

covery causes the greatest delight and astonishment wherever
it is introduced. Its effect, to use the words of numerous corres-
pondents, is truly miraculous ; the most inveterate Corns,
Bunions, and those unsightly and painful enlargements of the
GREAT TOE JOINTS, which disfigure the beautiful symmetry of
the foot, have been immediately relieved from all pain and uneasi-
ness, and in a short time entirely disappeared, after twenty

SKETCH OF A DOMESTIC SERVANT.

To-morrow morning we mean to black our own boots, as
to-day we put the horse into the cart, and rode down to the
wharf in it for the rest of our goods. Well, the sons of the
Chief Justice have had to do the same for him and them-
selves,—black boots, and harness horses to the carriage,—and
why not we ? Alfred and his cousin will sleep in the harness-
room to-night, with a revolver, and Prince for a watch-dog,
as horse-stealing is a very favourite amusement here. But I
must do the last groom justice. He was a real gentleman, a
gentleman by birth and education. His father is a clergyman
of high standing. He himself was educated at Oxford, and
used to ride with the Melton hounds. One of the many real
gentlemen who came out at the first successful account of the
diggings, he had been up and found no luck at the El-Dorado ;
so, being very knowing in horseflesh, and liking horses, he
engaged with my brother ; and never was there such a groom.
Steady, orderly, attentive at all hours and all points, invul-
nerable in his good humour, he was the perfect groom, and
yet the perfect gentleman, and in nothing more so than in
that he never presumed upon it. He sunk all pretensions to
an equality of rank; he set himself to be groom and nothing
more, while he occupied that situation ; but he was never
more a gentleman in spirit and in manners than when groom-
ing his horses or driving out his master. When importuned
by his old mates, as the term is,—his old comrades,—to make
another trial of the diggings, he told the Doctor he should be
obliged to go; but that he would not go till he was suited.
This was the only instance of such true politeness which our
relatives have met with since diggerdom commenced, for the
general announcement is,. " I am going to-morrow !"—and
they go. Richard, however, kept his word, and did not go
till his master thought he was suited.

There is something peculiarly characteristic of the
" pride which apes humility" displayed in the pre-
ceding passage. How earnestly the good qualities of
the well-bred groom are dwelt upon—how delicately
the sacred calling of his father is introduced—with
what tact the Oxford training of the " perfect gentle-
man" is brought to bear upon the picture—above all,
with what simplicity of observation we have it recorded
that " the real gentleman," " who used to ride with
the hounds at Melton," sunk all pretensions to an
equality of rank" with the roving note-taker and his
ambulatory relatives. How vast the pity that this
observant fraternity had not the happiness of
meeting with the daughter of a veritable Lord enact-
ing the character of a model scullery-wench !" The
self-denial of the high-bred gentleman has not been
imitated by the low-bred bookmaker. He finds another
scion of a goodly stock, who also appears to have
cottoned to the levellers, if we may take Mr. Howitt's
word on so important a subject. He thus describes

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 29.—The market for beef remains in-
active, but holders look on and do not press sales, feeling confi-
dent that the stock is not more than will be required before the
new cure can be received. With the exception of the sale by
auction of damaged pork, ex Julia G. Tyler, the week's trans-
actions are unimportant ; prices, however. are well maintained.
The pause in the bacon market continues, and a few small sales
have been made to clear out shipments, at a decline of 6d to Is
per cwt. Generally former rates are insisted on. At an advance
of is per cwt. there has been an active demand for lard, and the
sales reach 250 tons. There is a good inquiry for cheese. Grease
butter is wantel.

JULY 2.—Butter was in good demand last week at improving
prices, and for the best southern brands an advance of 2s to 3s
per cwt. was established ; middling descriptions were rather slow
of sale, with very little change in value; the supply is liberal, but
stOcks being small holders are firm at the quotations. Waterford,
Carrick, Dungarvon, and Clonmel, 95s to 9Ss ; Kilkenny. Carlow,
and Wexford, 93s to 94s ; Limerick, 88s to 92s per cwt. landed.
Imported from Ireland, from the 23rd to the 29th instant, 14,285

AGRICULTURE.

HOEING WHEAT.—Extirpate the weeds decidedly, but as
the season is far advanced it is advisable not to hoe the corn
deeply now, especially as the drought has continued so long,
and the land is in sufficient pulverised state. All possible care
and circumspection should, however, on the part of master and
man be exercised in uprooting all kinds of weed as they appear
now with a common dock spud. Old mother Earth will be
busy in nurturing her offsprings for a mouth to come, and the
weeds will assuredly come in for the greatest share of nourish-
ment from her resources, if we be not alive and watchful to our

,MENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STAN

interests by uprooting them in due time before they have
mastered our crops. It will be too late when then corn is in
full ear to send in mischievous boys and girls, or even careful
women or men, to repair the injury then. Some of our wheat
crops, sown in 2-feet rows, at less than 1 peck to the acre,
which were dug up deeply between, in Nov., Feb., and March,
with Parkes' steel digging forks (admirally suited), are looking
splendid and are admired by all who see them, and which, with
some other experimented corn of several acres extent, we re-
spectfully submit to the notice of any agricultural friends who
may feel disposed to come and see it.—Hardy and Son, Mal-
don, Essex.

THURSDAY.

In answer to the: uke of RICHMOND, whether the.govern-
ment was about to take any steps to increase the.comfort of
soldiers in barracks,.and whether recruiting for the'regular
army was proceeding in a satisfactory manner, Lord .131.N-
-31IIRE replied that the point to which the first part of the
Duke of Richmond's observations referred had been long
under the attention of the government, who;though thermight
differ from the noble duke as to the best way of effecting that
object, would certainly do everything in their power to advance
the comfort of the-soldier. With regard to the second question,
it could not be denied, though recruiting was going on at the
rate of 1,000 men a-week, that the total force of .thelßritish
army was far below the amount voted by -parliament. The
government had therefore determined to endeavour 'to make
the service more attractive by giving double pay to every sol-
dier actively engaged before the enemy. This additional pay
it was proposed to invest in savings-banks until the soldier's
return, or, if he fell, it would be paid to his relatives. This
scheme would be made public in a few days.by proclamation,
and he trusted it would be found to answer betterthan the in-
crease of bounty which had been proposed.
