MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livanroor. Joan 19.—The sales of cotton
today are estimated at 6,000 to 6,000 bales, and consist of
about 300 Purina and Maranham, at 6d. to 71d.; 250
Egyptian, at aid. to ma. ; 600 Surat, at 31d, to 4111; 100
Sea Islands, at 16d. to 17id. ; the remainder American, at
yesterday's prices. Exporters have taken 500 bales, and
speculators 1.000. The market closes quietly but firmly,
I prices of all kinds being unchanged.
*encasing's, J MIN 19.—We have not much change to
notice since Thursday's market, which was held under the
influences of the Great Britain's advice', confirming the
accounts previously to band by the Africa steamer of an
easier cotton market. The effect of those advice', tending I
to confirm the strong impression prevailing here that there
wa. no foundation, with last year's large crop of cotton, for
the speculative operations ping forward, accompanied with
a considerable advance of prices, has been most marked at
Liverpool, where rates are not only easier, bat the sales
have been confined this week within more reasonable limits.
The prices of all kinds of yarn and cloth not In very active
demand have given way to a corresponding extent here,
including water twist and low mule yarn. The higher
counts of mule are in great demand, and spinners suffi-
ciently under contract to give them greater command of
prices, en that engagements for early delivery are difficult to
make. This is the case also to some extent in printiug cloths,
the manufacturers of which hold large orders, and are un-
willing to extend their engagements in the present state of
the cotton market except at full rates. The home trade
are amongst the principal buyers, some of the shipping
houses confining their operations to small orders, and hold-
ing back for a relaxation of prices should the rates for
cotton further recede. The Germans are buying cautiously
for this reason, and also on account of a languid demand
. arising out of great distress among the population. The
accounts, however, are that the growing food crops are
very luxuriant there, and an improvement in the condition
of the people may be expected, which will give a new im-
pulse to trade, which is much needed for the sake of their
own manufactures, whilst it must necessarily be beneficial
to our expert trade.

It appeared that the plaintiff, whe is a palest M •

on the 7th of September last, being Samlay, be wee la sae
of the company's carriages proceeding by meanies train to

Ile remained at their house until the following
morning, and took his seat in en Exhibition en-

before sin to go to London. The train was exceed-

Homer tunnel plaintiff heard a great noise, and, putting
his head out of the window of the carriage, saw a great
number of persons running over the line and a person
waving a blue handkerchief and motioning evidently for
the purpose of stopping the train. The engines were re-
versed and the breaks put on, but the train proceeded at a
very great speed notwithstanding and ran into a train a
little before it with a tremendous shock, whereby the plain-
tiff was knocked forcibly. from side to side, thereby snaking

LINEN, dre.—listrawr, June 18.—This week some
descriptions of linen yarn hare advanced folly 9d. per
bundle. The mills still costing* on short time, and stocks
are oonsequertly on the demotes. We suggested the
propriety of mills going on short time fully six months ago,
and, if one advice had then been taken, much loss of value
would have been saved, and the hands would now be all at I
fall work. Linens: Manufacturers are now very busy, and
the trade looks more flourishing than it bsa done for several
months past. In Armagh and Coleraine, cloths have been
all bought up at fair rates. The linens latterly supplied to
the markets are not of a very good making; but we may soon
expect a large supply of all descriptions, as the weavers arc
now busy at their labours. There is an extensive demand
at present for printing lawns and drills, at prices rather on
the advance. Stocks and bleached linens of all widths are
aecumulating, but en increase of the foreign trade is ex-
pected, which will, no doubt, soon lessen them. As to the
state of demand for operatives in all the various departments
of the cotton trade in the north-cut districts of Ireland, we
should say it is pretty healthy, the number of hands at pre-
sent engaged being very much in advance of the highest
ever known since the trade was first started in this king-
dom.—Banner of Ulster.

CoLesreerxn, June 19.-A very limited supply of ell
grain at market to-day ; Is. to 2s. more was generally de•
mended for Wheat ; this checked business. The few parcels
which changed hands obtained upon an average barely Is.
advance. Beans and Peas le. dearer.
OLOUCECTER, June 19 -The attendance was small, and
the supply of English Wheat also limited, at our market
this day. Best samples found buyers at Is per qr. more
money ; secondary qualities held for a similar improvement
without leading to business. Foreign Wheat was taken
freely at prices not obtainable last week. Barley, being in
very short supply, is held for 6d. per qr. advance, the trade
being confined to grinding suns. Only one parcel of Egyp-
then Beans being on sale, them find buyers at fully Is. per
qr. advance. Oats are a dragging sale, at firmer rates.
' Imports of the week ending J uue 19: Wheat, 2,955; Bar-
ley, 1,196; Oats, 2,200.
GUILDFORD, June 19.-The supply of Wheat to-day was
not large. The continued wetness of the season induced
the millers to give an a ivance of Ph per qr. ; but this ad-
vance could not be obtained on red Wheat; nevertheless,
there was • better demand. Wheat, 395. to 521. Barley,
30.. to 335. Oats, 20s. to 23e. Beans, 32.. to 3d..
HIRTIFORD, Juno 19.-The supply of Wheat fair ; trade
ruled dull, at last week's prices. Barley sold at lull prices.
Oats firm, at last week's prices. Peas and Beans made Is.
per qr. more money. Wheat, from 245. to 30s. per loud.
Barley, 255. to 295. per qr. Oats, 18e. to 21s. Peas, 21s.
to 245. per load. Beans, 21s. to 245. Bye, 16e. to 19s.
Mmiesisess, Jexit 19.-A somewhat firmer feel-
lag has prevailed in the flour trade during the present
week, and almost all descriptions have moved oft more
freely at fully previous rates; but where any advance was
attempted it had the effect of checking business. For oats
sad oatmeal the demand has been languid, and prices have
leaded downwards. Coastwise and from Irelaad the
arrivals at Liverpool and Beacom are very scanty; but of
wheat, flour, and Indian corn the imports from abroad are
to a liberal amount. At our market this morning wheat
fully supported the currency of this day see night. Fleur
was held with increasing firmness, and holders generally'
required prices the)-turn higher than there which were
asespted during the week. Oats and oatmeal were in very
limited request, and barely maintained their previous value.
NRWCARTLX-UPON-TYI.II. June 19.-The weather this
week has been of • very unsettled character. We have had
rata more or less daily, but with the exception of Oats upon
the heavy soils, the crops continuo to lie favourably re-
ef . At our market this morning we had an unu-
su▪
ally large supply of Wheat from the growers for this
edramed period of the year, occasioned doubtless by the
wet state of the weather preventing field operations from
being proceeded with, but having only moderate arrivals,
boa tizesised samples sold steadily, but without animation,
and epos web. ae well as all other kinds, last Saturday's
rates were Flour met a fair steady enquiry, 29e.
being about devalue of choice households, and 31s. to 314.6 d.
be extra whites, anything beneath such qualities selling
proportionately lower. Choice south eomntry Rye was held
firmly at 365. which had the effect of checking business.
Grinding Barley rather more enquired for but no dearer.
Malt a slow sale, and prices unchanged, and the same may
be mid of Beans and Peas. With Clans we were sparingly
ZVl!by our powers ; the receipts coastwise, however,
a fair extent, sales scarcely proceed,. d with such
freedom &slut week, the buyers at the same time having
Me turn in their favour. The arrivals this week are :
Wheat, coastwise, 1,930; foreign, 71; Barley, coastwise,
17; foreign, 30; Malt, coastwise, 75; Oats, coastwise, 955 ;
foreign, 28 ; Peas, foreign, 534 ; Flour, 1,412 sacks.
Nosuirtex, Jane 19.-At our market this day there was
egged offer of Wheat by both farmers and merchants, con-
,!4 sot so good as heretofore, and this chiefly owing to
Me dampness of the atmosphere, so unfavourable to thrash-
ing. There was no material hange in value; Is. per qr.
higher pprices was at the commencement of the market de-
but business was transacted at rates similar to
Mme of last week. Flour trade firm, and fully previous
rates were raid for prime housbolds f.o.b. The trade is
Barley,. with the exception of a few sales for grinding pur-
poses, is not worth noticing. Beans were a small waggly,
and prices were quite up to last week's rates. Peas were
small in supply, and very little demand ; no change fa
price. Oats were inquired after, and full prices were paid i
we do not alter our quotations.
Norettroites, June 19.-Our supply of Wheal at 10-
i day's market is fully coal to the demand. Holders etc
asking quite as high rates as of late, but we have a slow
trade, dealers taking only for present wants. Barley is
Nearer, and grinding sorts inquired for. Oats and Beans ars
both • slow sale.
PITERBOROUOII, June 19.-There was but a small show
of n here to-day. Bed Wheat, weighing 631 tis. per
bushel, making 38e. to 395. Nothing doing in Barley. Oats I
mobs last week's prices; and Beans were ready sale, at • n
advance of la. per qr.
READING, June 19.-A very short supply of Wheat
some, to hand this mornicg. The weather being unfsvoura-
I Me to the growing crop produced an active trade at IS. to
2.. per qr. advance on last week's rates. Barley, Peas, and
Oats remain unaltered, the report of the prospect of Beans
being much elected by blight caned that article to improve
in value full 2.. per qr.
WIeBICH, Juno 19.-In consequence of the continual
rains during the week, we have but little grain of any kind
showing here to-day, and everything realises the full prices
of this day week, with an advance on the best descriptions
of Wheat of fully Is. per qr.
WoRCESTEK, June 19.-There was • large supply of
Wheat at our market to-day, for which higher prices were
&mended, but no progress could be made at anything over
the currency of this day se'nnight. Barley rather dearer;
Oats, 6d. per qr. cheaper; Beans, the turn was again in
favour of the seller ; Peas very scum.
Yong, June 19.-We had only a small supply of Wheat
at this day's market, which has been readily sold at fully
last week's rates. In other articles no alteration. Wheat,
white, 43e. to4ss. per imperial qr. ; red, 391. to 425. Malt,
525. to 545. Oats, 104. to 11d. per stone of lithe. Flour,
23e. to 31s. per sack of 280 lbs.
Done", Juni 18.-We have had almost incessant rain
this morning, but the weather now appears fine, and the
mercury is rising. Our corn market to-day was again dull
ea possible; the general tendency of the trade was to lower
rates; but we must reduce the quotation for Indian corn
Is. per quarter. White wheat, 235. to 265. ; red do., 22.5.
to 235. 6d. Barley, 12a. to 14..6d. Oats, 10s. to Ils. Gd.
Oatmeal, Ils. to 12s. Bakers' flour, 12a. to 15s. per cwt.
Indian corn, 295. to 335. 6d. per 48016ie
Coax, June 18.-We have to report a few arrivals of
foreign grain since our last. The receipts of home grain,
' however, as is usual at this season of the year, are small in
tie extreme. As some parties look upon the present wea-
ther as unewourable to the Wheat crop, we have on this
account, as well as owing to the firmer feeling manifeeted
at the English side, some little speculative inquiry in the
finer descriptions of foreign Wheat, which are very firm at
the rate of last week. We quote Marianople 255. • Ohirka,
245. 6d. ; and Odessa, 21s. 6d. to 225. per brl. Egyptian is
in very brisk demand, and meets a free sale at 20s. pet brL
Oats are very dull, and it is impossible to effect a sale of!
the article unless at • considerable reduction on late rates.
We have an improved demand for, and a good business
passing in fine Flour. Coarse descriptions continue to meet
a free sale, but prices are unaltered. With a moderate
trade in Indian Corn we think prices must be quoted 22.6 d.
per ton lower, the extreme value of Oalatz being 71.179.6 d.
to 81. per ton. With an increased supply of Potatoes, and
an arrival or two of Maize, we should expect to see • con•
siderable reduction ere long in the value of the article.
Wheat, red, 19.. 6d. per 20 stone; Oats, 10s. 7d. to 116.6 d.
WATERFORD, June 19.-Our arrivals of foreign Wheat!
and Maize have been tolerably good this week, and we have
received • fair quantity of Oats from the interior by boat ;
but there were no supplies whatever from farmers. With-
out much animation in our market, we have experienced a.
fair inquiry for Wheat and Maim ; and • moderate busi-
ness has been done in both these articles, at pervious prices.
Oats were difficult to dispose of in the early part of the
week, but, during the last day or two, the market has bees
pretty well cleared, at an abatement of Id. per barrel.
There is no change to be noted in the value of Flour but
, the demand for coaqualities has somewhat impro vedrse q.
' We have hail very heavy rains (at intervals) during the last
ten da, accompanied by rains (at
and low peature.
Imports this sleek Wheat, 2,700 qrs.; Indian Corn, 1,594;
Flour, 470 brls. Exports this week Barley, 380 brls. ;
Oats, 2,100; Flour, 320 sacks; Oatmeal, 210 cwts.
KIRKCALDY, June 19.-We have a continuance of the
I same sort of weather that has prevailed for some weeks,
dell, cloudy, and occasionally stood deal of rain, with a
liow temperature ; to-day it is a, 'tele milder, but the wind
is still from the mt. At our country markets this week,
es has been the case for mime time past, the buyers for local
consumption took off meet of the grain offering, and the
prices paying were • shade ova those of last week. Barley
and Beans seem about exhausted. Here, to-day, we had a
mod supply of Wheat, fair of Oats, and • few parcels of
Barley ; sates slow, at prices rather under last week's rates.
Wheat, 39e. to 445. per qr. Barley, 28e. to 31s. Oats, 186.9 d.
to 6d. Oatmeal, per bag of 2801 be., 30s.

HARDWARE.—BIRMINORAY, Jute. 19.—There has
been a slight improvement in trade here since our last re-
nt ; the merchants are in receipt of better orders, and the
home trade, which has been thoroughly bad throughout
the spring, is said to have partially revived ; but the
im-
provement is, it is much to be feared, partial, and anything
but of such a character as would lead to the inference that
much of a change for the better can for the present be ex-
pected. It is curious to notice the prosperity articles he
some of the newspapers on the subject of the condition a
trade here, when, to any one at all familiar with the sub-
ject, or who takes the trouble to extend his inquiries to the
condition of the trade generally, the fact becomes
potable that the last has been the dullest six Olintis we
trade here since the early part of the year 184$. That
there have been, and stilt are, exceptional instances when
the manufacturers have been well off for orders. is not
denied, but the great bulk of them have had barely sale
Meat orders to keep the men going ; others bow
not been able to do that; there have been a
much greater number of persona, both male sad
female, seeking employment during the lest six months than
at any time for the hat five yeah ; and such has been the
competition for orders in the face of their scarcity, that in
three-fourths of the trade the manufacturers' profits have
undergone a very eessiderable reduction. A dozen or so of
the very largest useadbeteren have been busy, certainly
not more, and the Ameriessand Cantata seders have been
perhaps up to the anew ; the Games trade has, how-
ever, been bad, sad iadrea it has bee. se mesh nit up as

the great class-works of Messrs. Chance, at Bpon-lane, I
eaehlargeli varying in the character of their productions,we
I observe the same unvarying signs of activity, and are
owed of the continued increase in the already prodigioul
value of each of their annual products. These three -great
I works having been already specially noticed in the Doily
Nom because of the world-wide celebrity they have
aspired, from the fact of their having produced the mate-
rWs the Crystal Palace, they are now singled out for
I remark in connexion with this subjeet but at the Besides,
andl at the great Patent Axle Works at Weduesbary (Mr.
Gesch*s, Id.P.), there is the same element at work, and the
din of the chain, the clank of the hammer, and the roar of
the forge, goes on night and day unceasingly. This is at
rather works ; but the staple trades of the district are
an indifferent state. The poor gan-lock fitters at
Dunstan are badly off for orders and their remuneration
is very low; the chainmakers anithe nailtnaken of the dis-
trict are in no better plight, and the saddlers' ironmongery
trade of Walsall is wofully cut up. The prospects of the
iron trade are said to be still brightening; the demand in-
creases, and a further advance at the July quarter-day
seems to be regarded as tolerably certain.

SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.—A distressing
sea disaster occurred off a little fishing village called Beer,
in the South of Devon, on Wednesday. The Bereaved
schooner, of Plymouth, was observed shout a mile from the
CORN.—Boaros, June 19.—With a small attendance at shore, in the middle of the day, in distress. A heavy
market to-day, and demand sseeedimgly limited, Wheats sea wu running at the time, and &severe gale blowing from

40s. ; white, 426. to 44e. Scarcely anything doing in spring people from the shore, and a boat's crew bravely put off to
Corn. Prices nominally the some. I assist her, but were unable to proceed. Or a sudden, the

Beans are said to be quite destroyed ; indeed, many fields S:z men were conjectured to bit on board, all of whom
arc ploughed up, and dry weather is becalming essential to perished. The disaster, as we have stated, occurred in the
