PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 30.—The result of the admiralty contract
has had a depressing effect on the market for beef; holders do
not give way much, but there is a great absence of demand, and
the sales of the week are again considerably below the average.
Pork is also depressed in consequence of the moderate prices ob-
tained from the government ; but the very light stock has pre-
vented any reduction in price. A large portion of American pork
it will be observed, has been contracted for, which is a new feature.
New American bacon is generallyrwanted at this moment, but,
from the low prices paid for the contract pork, and the small
quantity contracted for, there is a less sanguine feeling as to fu-
ture prices for bacon. Lard is quiet, and the few sales made are
at about last week's prices. There is a slight improvement in the
demand for cheese, but the stock here is large.
DEC. 3.—The butter market has been inactive, only a limited
amount of business was done last week, but the stock held here
being unusually small for the period of the season prices were
fully maidtained, with no prospect of lower rates, but the con-
trary. Waterford and Dungarvan, 107 s to 1108 •, Carrick, Carlow,
and Wexford, 106 s to 1098 ; Limerick, 98s to 102 s ; and Sligo, 96s

the 30th November, both inclusive, 11,483 firkins, 100 kegs, 450
crocks, 417 boxes, and 76 barrels butter, 104 bales bacon, 23 hhds.

ediV'ST NOT CALL THEM BACK.

GIVE not a sigh for early hours,
For treasured scenes of yore;
For broken buds and faded flowers,
That drops of beauty bore.
Give not a sigh for things gone by,
Though brilliant be their track ;
Those visions gay have passed away—
Thou can'st not call them back
Give not a sigh for youthful hopes,
That faded ere their prime;
%t fancy held in golden cups,
to deck the brow of Time.
`th I far too soon the brightest noon
Will caang,e to deepest black ;
And things as gay will pass away—
Thou can'st not not call them back.
Give not a sigh for tones that rail,
Like music, on thine ear;
The loved and lost to mourn is well,
When there is none to cheer;
But if to bless and to caress
Some linger round thy track,
L2ive not a sigh for those gone by—
Thou can'st not call them back.

PRUSSIA.

The Chambers were opened on Thursday by the King. The
following is an extract from his majesty's speech :
"Gentlemen, the conflict between several European powers
is not yet at an end, Our fatherland, however, continues to
be the abode of peace.
"I trust in God that it will remain so, and that I shall
succeed in preserving the honour and standing of Prussia,
without inflicting upon our country the heavy sacrifices of war.
" I am proud to say that I know of no people so well pre-
pared for war or more ready for sacrifices than my own, when-
ever its honour or interests are really in danger.
" This proud consciousness, however, imposed upon me the
duty, while abiding faithfully by obligations already con-
tracted, not to enter into further engagements, the political
and military liabilities of which are not to be estimated before-
hand. In the attitude assumed by Prussia, Austria, and
Germany, behold a valid security for the further maintenance
of that independent position which is equally conducive to the
attainment of an equitable and lasting peace, and cgmpatible
with sincere good wishes for all."

BROMLEY'S PATENT EMPIRE SOAP,
which heretofore has been difficult to be obtained, as very
few of the grocers will keep it. To use their own words, by way
of explanation, they state,—" Were we to buy it, it would reduce
our sales fully one third, as two pounds of the Empire Soap will
go as far as three pounds of any other soap ; we should also lose
our profit on soda and washing powders, as neither of these
articles are required when the Empire Soap is used, in either the
hardest water or in sea water." What the grocers are displeased
at in this soap is its strongest recommendation to the notice of
the large consumers, private families' hotel keepers, laundresses,
&c. It only requires to be used with a light hand. And besides
the above advantage it saves half the usual labour, consequently
less friction and wear in the clothes, and will not injure the
colours in the most delicate prints ; and is equallyvlliusabalpeuforer
every other domestic purpose, even for toilet use, as
soap, free from rosin and other useless ingredients, '

PROPOSITIONS FOR PEACE.

The Times' Paris correspondent writes, on Sunday even-
ing:—
" The main fact mentioned in my letter of Friday, of the
proffered intervention of Austria, is fully corroborated by sub-
sequent information; but though I do not affirm positively
that she will at once declare war against Russia if the condi-
tions of which the overtures now discussed by the French and
English governments contain the basis are refused, yet it is
believed that she will break off her diplomatic intercourse
with her."

The same correspondent says :
" I am unable to give you any precise idea of the propositions
that would be tendered to Russia, but they are described as
perfectly acceptable to England and France, not only now,
but would be equally so even after another victorious cam-
paign.

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 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.
SCALE OF CHARGES FOR TUNING PIANO-FORTES BY THE YEAR.

expenses. Tunings in the Country carefully attended to on the
different journies.

EDWARD OLIVER'S AFFAIRS.—On Saturday, at a private
sitting before Mr. Commissioner Stevenson, Mr. Edward
Oliver, of Liverpool, shipowner and merchant, was adjudicated
a bankrupt, on the application of Mr. William Murray, soli-
citor, the petitioning creditors being the bank of the city of
Quebec, whose debt was stated to be £6,000. Had Mr. Oliver
not been declared a bankrupt on Saturday, the deed of assign-
ment would have come into operation. An application will
be made for an early sitting of the Court to annul the adju-
dication.

WHALLEY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—On Thursday, the

trict, and manifested an evident improvement as compared
with the specimens exhibited at the two previous shows. The
usual prizes were awarded. The dinner took place in the
national school room, at four o'clock, when upwards of one
hundred gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dejeuner, On
the removal of the cloth, Jonathan Peel, Esq., of Knowlmere
(president of the society), and the following, among others,
