which, with the flags and banners of the children and
their gay holiday attire, made a bright and attractive
show. The band played a pretty Christy Minstrel air.
After marching twice round the sweep they entered the
tent erected for thew, where they were provided with a
bountiful supply of tea and yluni cake, with bread and
butter. Lady Wolverton, assisted by other ladies and the
female domestics of the house, soon circulated the good

was prepared to receive them, and commence,' the games
of the evening, consisting of running for prizes, Aunt

BRISTOL, Tit u its DAv.—Short supply of fat cattle.
Except for very best descriptions, the trade was very

abundance. About 2,000 head of sheep and lambs
from Ireland, choice samples selling at 75 to &i. per
1t,., quality not first-class. Lamb was plentiful, and
the demand was rather better, prices ranging from &I.
to Sg per lb. Store cattle short, and the supply of
milch cows was rather limited. About 300 pigs on
offer, bacon pigs fetching from 125. to 125. 3d. per
score, and porkers 125. 6d.
METROPOLITAN, TlitTasoAv.—We have a
large supply of beasts, but no improvement in quality,
consequently prices are still high for choicest descrip-
tions; a fair clearance is effected. Sheep are more
plentiful ; there is, however, a fair demand, and
Monday's quotations are well supported. Trade for
lambs and calves is more active, although there is not
much advance in price. There are 70 English and 25
Dutch milch cows on offer ; trade is very dull for
them. Our foreign supply consists of dio beasts,
4270 sheep, and 500 calves.

EATING A LIVING MAN.

The Figaro states that a conjuror at Novaro having
announced his intention of eating a living being during
his performances, a tremendous audience sasetubled to
witness the act. As soon as he appeared and asked if any-
one WU ready to he eaten, three young men jumped on to
the staite. Thereupcn he said although he had promised to
oat a living person he had not promised to cat him with
his clothes on. Two of the volunteers disappeared forth-
with, but the flirt' remained and proceeded to undress him-
self. When this operation was completed the conjuror
min:irked that it would be remembeced, if he protnised to
eat a man alive, he had not undertaken to eat him raw.
The third volunteer now made off, but the house was
indignant, and the unlucky trickster had to escape by a
side dour with the assistance of the police.

-..411..--

THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.
Buyers and sellers arc shy of each other. and the
former especially are inclined to await the chances of
the future. On the other side, the unsettled state of
the weather has checked last week's tendency.
New samples of wheat arc now commonly shown,
and fine white sorts have nude 655. per qr., whilst
red, weighing 64 lb. per bushel, is offered at 60s, and
inferior lots are seen at 545. to 565. Most of the
samples of Early wheat exhibit slight effects of the cold
in June, and the grains are crinkled, wanting the
plumpness which the latter sorts of wheat possess.
From threshing out many farmers report a yield of 4
to 5 qrs. per acre, and, in one instance, 15 coombs
(7,4 qrs.) is reported. At present prices, say 555. to
655., English farmers appear inclined to make their
first market, and millers are all desirous of fresh wheat,
but buy it very cautiously, at a time when foreign sorts
are considerably below English qualities.
Barley promises to be this year again the farmer's
friend, and to realise good prices, to judge from the
figures asked for the new French barley, which, fur
shipment early in September, is quoted over 40s. per
qr. ; as yet there have not been enough samples of
new English barley to fix quotations.
There are now off coast 29 wheat and 20 maize
cargot. on sale, and, although demand is not active,
holders show steadiness for wheat, asking 4054 for
Odessa Ghirka, 475. to 485. 6d. for American spring
wheat, 335. fur maize, and 345. fur llowyas barley.
The trade in cargoes on passage and for shipment is
very heavy, and low terms do not attract business.
The cheaper American wheat, offered at 44s- 6d, to
475., is neglected, and Californian wheat, Soo lb., does
not find buyers at 50s. per qr., This quotation is
important as indicating to the British farmer that the
autumn wheat quotation is not likely to exceed such
level. Rye is as low as 325. ; while beans are 425.
to 455. ; while Beans are 4.25. to 455. As to oats,
there is but little chance, at present, of a fall in price
from
.any supplies that can arrive in the next month,
and, if oats should somewhat decline, the result will
be the effect of other articles.

The several foreign markets, may all be reported
dull, with value tevdiun downwards, accordingly their
influence reacts unfavourably in England.
As a general impression of the week, the new
samples of wheat must be considered disappointing—
at the saute time, everywhere, later sampli.s arc
expected to Icivenothing to desire.
