At the Liverpool Corn Market to-day, though
we had again a good attendance of millers and
dealers, the tone of the trade was in all respects
much less animated, the weather appearing more
favourable and the high pretensions of sellers
serving to check business. In Wheat only
moderate transactions were reported, and the ad-
vance made in the interval' since Friday was not
fully maintained; we may, however, quote an
improvement of about 4d to 6d per cental on the
rates of this day week. Flour varied in the same
manner, and closed at an advance of 23 6d per
barrel and 35 .per sack on the currencies of last
Tuesday. Beans sold at an- athendment of is to
is 6d per qr.) Oats ld per bushel, and Oatmeal ls

TUESDAY EVENING.

In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day
the Funds were firmer, in consequence of an im-
provement in the weather, and Consols exhibit
an advance of per cent., but little business was
done.

The following appeared in our later editions

The English funds have been without animation, but
show rather less weakness. The closing prices from
Paris show a further fractional decline. The latest
accounts from Australia afford strong indications of the
monetary pressure and a gradual revival of credit. The
railway market has been steady, with little doing.
Times.

The funds were steady at Saturday's prices. The
prospect of some amount of gold being taken to the
Bank would probably have caused an improvement had
it not been counteractei by a slight advance in the
corn market. Business was dull. In the share markets
the tendency was in the direction of improvement, par-
ticularly in the market for British railway stocks, which
is supported by the continuance of favourable traffic
returns. American railway securities continue to engage
a good deal of attention. There was a good demand for
money. There were no bullion operations at the Bank.
In Mark Lane, owing to the bad weather, wheat com-
manded ls. to 2s. pet quarter more than on last Mon-
day.—. Daily .News..

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

tire question now is, how will the harvest be got in if
e are to have a continuance of alternate rain and sun-
ine ? The wheat in the districts to the south-east of
'aris, where the crop has been gathered in, is more or
ass injured by the damp, and the new wheat offered
n- sale in those districts is unfit for millers' use. The
cheat in Beaune, Brie, Normandy, Picardy—the
orthern and western departments, where the har-
est has been commenced, will, as we have previ-
usly announced, be more or less injured should
ie weather not change for the better. Even in the
-)uth of France it has been found difficult to thrash out
le corn. The rain penetrated the stacks, which were
ot made for such unseasonable weather, and the new
'heat brought to market is unfit for storing. We'may,
ierefore, expect to see old grain greatly sought for.
t will be long before the wheat now being reaped will
e sufficiently dry. The accounts from Germany are
ot more satisfactory. It rains in Holland, it rains in
[olstein, and the wheat harvest is retarded. Rye and
arley have suffered. Accounts from Berlin state that
se potato crop is diseased, and that the rye and barley
e the ground are in danger of perishing, and the
counts given by all the Russian journals of the harvest
i Russia are very unfavourable.

antee of good faith.

In Scotland less rain has fallen, in the southern and
,entral parts of the country, than in England ; whilst
n the Highlands the rainfall has been considerably
ess. As a consequence, the crops in Scotland are in
ttany instances more advanced than on this side of the
'2weed.

The annual demonstration of the Ancient Order of
foresters' Registered Friendly Society, took place yes-
terday, at the Crystal Palace, and, as usual, attracted a
Beater number of persons than any other celebration.
A early as eight o'clock immense crowds of well-dressed
rersons of bOth sexes took up their positions at the Lon-
don-bridge station, and the doors being thrown open in
the course of a few minutes, the rush became fearful, but
the admirable arrangements of the railway officials pre-
vented any accidents from occurring. Before nine o'clock
in the morning no fewer than 171 carriages, ploasure
vans, and dog-carts had passed the Elephant and Castle
at Newington, and from that time came vehicles of
nearly every description, from the four-in-hand to the
dog-cart, each filled with company, most of the males
being dressed in the green Robin Hood costume.
Flags and streamers waved from the various vehi-
cles, whilst in many of the carriages were bands
playing lively airs, such as "Bold Robin Hood
was a -rorestet putt, tue drionai Antnem,
,Sze. The demonstration was made for the purpose of
augmenting two of the most important funds of the
order, viz., the widow and orphan, and funeral funds.
This society has, according to the prospectus, over
150,00 members. including members of both houses of
the legislature, clergymen, membets of the bar, and the
working classes. The objects are to provide a weekly
stipend to the members in time of sickness, a provision
for the widows and orphans after the death of the hus-
band, and many other advantages when the members
are in distress.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

During the sitting of the H011:F1 of T nraz, I.,ct niam
several bills were passed, and others advanced towards
that consummation.
The House of Commons was again the scene of the
withdrawal of another bill by the Government. The
New Zealand Bill, after receiving the hearty denuncia-
tions of Sir John Pakington and other members, was
declared by the Home Secretary to have been unneces-
sary. The House then went into committee on the
Naval Discipline Bill, designed to modify the existing
code of naval discipline. The objects of the measure
were explained by Lord C. Paget, and approved of by
Sir J. Pakington. The House, which had a good deal
of other business to engage its attention, again sat late.
Garibaldi has turned up at Cagliari, in Sardinia,
where it is said he, was engaged, on the 17th, in
consulting with some of his numerous agents, and
giving them instructions for their guidance with
reference to the crowning enterprise which he medi-
tates against Naples. If Victor Emmanuel be at
all serious in his desire not to be compromised by,
or suspected of being engaged in, the plans of the
Sicilian Dictator, this circumstance must prove as great
a source:of embarrassment to his Majesty as any which
have heretofore occurred. The selection, in present cir-
cumstances, of this locality as a rendezvous for a portion
of the troops avowedly designed for a hostile landing on
the Neapolitan territory is, to say the least, a rather
curious coincidence, but we have no doubt an explana-
tion will not be refused. Such explanations are, how-
ever, rapidly becoming exceedingly difficult—they have,
for some time past, been unsatisfactory.

In the course* the evidence taken by the commis-
sioners on the proposed concentration of the superior
courts of justice, it was stated that the bills of costs paid
every year by the suitors in Chancery amount to about
£1,250,000, their annual tribute to the court, the bar,
and the solicitois. The calculation is made by observing
that in bills of costs the fees of the court amount to
about 8 per cent. of the whole charge, and the fees are
found to reach a little above £lOO,OOO a year.
An interesting experiment was recently made to ob-
tain a direct telegraphic communication between Bal-
moral and Berlin—a distance of nearly 1,300 miles. A
short conversation took place ; the telegraph clerk at
Balmoral informing the Berlin clerk that the Balmoral
time was 2 p.m., the clerk in the Prussian capital reply-
ing that it had just struck 3, and that the signals were
as distinct as if the distance had been only a few miles.

There is every reason to believe—although the cir-
cumstances are yet, to a great extent, enshrouded in
mystery—that a fearful and revolting murder was per-
petrated in the Queen's Park, near Edinburgh, on the
person of a respectable young girl, named Elizabeth
Slater; at an early hour on Sunday morning, who is
stated by her uncle to have only completed her eleventh
year on the Ist instant, although from her appearance
she might have passed, it is said, for 14 or 15 years of
age. Suspicion is directed to two or more of the
troopers in the 13th Light Dragoons, stationed at Piers-
hill, in whose company the murdered girl was last seen
by several persons, and they have been apprehended.
The circumstances of the dreadful occurrence are of the
most shocking character, and the most active exertions
have been, and are still being made, by the authorities
for the elucidation of the mystery in which it is still
enveloped. During the whole of Sunday afternoon and
evening the fatal spot was.visited by great numbers of

The accounts of the reception of the Garibaldians by
the Sicilians are rather contradictory ; and so much
importance is not now attached to the, result of the suc-
cessful disembarkations which have been effected at dif-
ferent points on the coast of Calabria. The upper
classes are alone friendly to the invaders. The people
at large have manifested no inclination to detach them-
selves from the Bourbon Dynasty ; but, at the same time,
they are quite.willing so far to avail themselves of the
new constitution and of their increased liberty, as to make
the change a pretext for refusing to pay their taxes. It
is not surprising, in such circumstances, to be told that
the whole of this extensive district is rapidly becoming
a prey to the plunderer, and that disorders of every
kind have beenintroduced. In fact, it is stated that the
principal officers among the Sicilians have pronounced the
Calabrian movement a failure. Disasters also, are spoken
Of. The steamer Queen of England,with 1,500 volnnteers'
on board, is missing ; and advices from Naples state
that a brig, coming from London, via Malta, with arms
and ammunition for the Garibaldians, has fallen into
the hands of the Neapolitans.
A later telegram from Naples informs us that 1,500
armed men, who had with them 200 tents, and who are
said to have come from Sardinia, had succeeded in
effecting a landing, at or near Naples, in detachments,
but that they were compelled by the Royal Guard to
re-embark. It is supposed that the troops composing
this expedition anticipated that their appearance, would
be the signal for an insurrection, and that they would
be called upon to assist in the erection of barricades ;

On •Illonday morning Francis Price, convicted at the
recent Warwickshire Assizes of the murder of a young
woman whom he had courted, the servant at a small
public-house in Birmingham, paid the penalty of his
crime on a scaffold in front of the county gaol. There
was a large concourse of persons to witness the execu-
tion, but the culprit went through the scene with much
nerve and firmness. He delivered a speech as he stood
by the gallows, admitting his guilt, and expressive of
regret that he bad been induced to plead "Not guilty
at the time. Since his setitence the culprit had directed
his mind to the consolations of religious instruction, and
a moment after his short address was finished the bolt

was drawn, and he died without a struggle. The crowd
disappeared peaceably soon afterwards. •
On Monday afternoon last, the body of a well-dressed
man was discovered lying in the road of ,Catathwart-
lane, hii head being frightfully shattered from the con-
tents of a duelling pistol, which was held in the right
hand. The body was removed to the Wandsworth and
Clapham workhouse to await an inquest, and to be
identified, if possible. The deceased appeared about
30 years of age, five feet five inches in height, slightly
built, dark hair and whiskers. The name of Bulkeley'
was marked on the inside of his collar, and also in the
lining of the hat ; and in his pockets were found three
quarters of a pound of gunpowder, in a case, and some
percussion caps in a tin box. The deceased can only
be recognised by his clothes, as his face is completely
blown away; and from the position in which he was
found, the act must have been very determined.
