Hrhx., July 11.—The weather during the put week has
been of a vaned character. Wednesday and Thursday were
the hottest days of the year, but since they we have had
much, and at times heavy, rain. More rain is now very un-
desirable. We do not hear of complaints of Potato disease
in this district, but from other guarun we have such reports.
Dry hot weather would in all probability soon silence three,
and it could hardly have been expected that a disease which
was so general and virulent in the two presiose years, should

I disappear entirely, and in one season. The arrivals of the

badmen transacted has on the wuu.n been limited, and as
regards Wheat without any notable change in pr.oe. Bar-
lei is the turn dearer, and getting scarce. At to day's mar-
k t we had again a Rood supply of farmers' Wheat, with
ra'hvr more foreign off, ring. The former was more pressed
for 84::. than of late, and last we, k's prices were with diffi-
cult. roi,',;•ained ; the market closed dull. There wee a
-0a demand ,"r Barley, and more mosey was obtainable,
b,t th. pply and azztcks for business are limited. Beans
somewhat firmer, without nnking more money. Other kinds
of Spring Corn very dull. The :starlet continues well sup-
plied with Linseed, which meets a sluggish demand, and the
rates of last week are hardly obtainable. More business
doing in Linseed Cokes, and on ea'ier terms than lately paid.
In the absence of arrivals our quotations for Rapeseed are
nominal. Rape Cakes meet a fair inquiry, and prices are
supported. In Bones less business passing at our quotations.

Livrtaroot, July 11.-Exclusive of a small increase in
the receipts of Wheat and Malt coastwise, the arrivals
thence from Ireland, and the continental parts of Europe
are altogether trivial since this day week; from the United
Stater., however, we have to report a fair supply of Indian
Corn, with 2,714 barrels of FIUUT, and 11,587 barrels from
Canada. Although in noose of the English markets last
wen k's Wheat was quoted Is. to 2. per qr. lower, prices ap.
p=ar more generally to have undergone no material change,
with little variation in other kinds of grain; whilst in most
parts of Ireland all native produce was reported rather
dearer; and Indian Corn, which is still used extensively,
has fluctuated in some degree according to the wants and
opinions of the trade. During the greater part of last week,
the weather was fine here until the evening of Friday, when
we had a return of rain, and Sunday was extremely wet
until noon; since then it has been exceedingly auspicious,
and, with a nettled appearance, the Hay harvest
around us is a_ain rapidly progressing. Influenced
by this favourable change, the transactions in
Wheat at our market today continued to proceed very
slowly, and, though from the short arrivals fresh at han
there was no ioe:ination on the part of hol. ers to concede
lower terms for prime samples of English, Irish, or foreign;
most other descriptions were decidedly easier to purchase.
Irish Flour, being scarce, sustained late prices; but States
and Canadian, in etchr to effect even moderate sales to con-
sumers, receded 601. per barrel each. Barley and Malt, upon
a languid demand, merely supported previous quotations;
and Beans and Peas, commanding little notice, were slightly
depressed in value. Oata, attended by limited retail opera-
tions only, declined W. to Id. per 451 b. ; and Oatmeal, in the
absence of country buyers, remained nominally unaltered in
value. Indian Corn, being the only article in active requer t,
continued to sell freely for Ireland, at an advance of 6d. to
Is. upon yellow, and for white 2s. per qr. over last Tuesday's
rates. Cora Meal was also 9d. per barrel dearer. The
following are the present prices:-British: Wheat, per
701 b., English, red, 7s. 4d. to 7s. 5d.; extra, 78.5 d. to 7s. 8d ;

Saturday and Sunday. but fine yesterday and this day,
which has caused a dull trade at this morning's market.

disease in Potatoes increases.

SALISBURY, July 11.—The supply of Wheat was mode-
rately good at this day's market, but there was a shy de-
mand, and the rates of last week remained unaltered for all
descriptions. The prices of the beat Wheats averaged from
47e. to 033. per or. ; good samples made from 435. to 470. ;

not want any more ruin at present, and the wind is too much for
them. The greater part of the College ground is very short of bine,
and the ground anything but kindly—whilst at one little apot the bine

MANUFACTURES.—HUUDERSVIELD, July 11.—
Merchants have acted to-day with the same degree of spirit
as that which they exhibited last week, and a lair quantity
of goods have be. n sold. Prices are not yet such so to war-
rant any auumentation of productive power; but things are
decidedly better than they were.

WOOL.—HunnEnsnELD, July 11.—We have an
improved market today, and the same spirited demand
which exhibited itself last week has been quite manifest this

BALLINASLOL—The July fair was crowded with stock
principally belonging to small farmers. Prices were ruin-
ously low- Horned cattle were offered at from 10s. to 15c I
under the prices obtained at the May fair. There were few
'filch Cows, and those not of a goad quality. Sheep in

PROTECTION OF FENIA.i.ES BILL.
The Bishop of OXFORD muved the th;rd reading of this
bill. An objection had tven raised to that put of the bill
which would punish procuremes, and whien it wee said
might be extended to houses for licentious indulgence. Such
was net the object of the bill. The Lord Chief Justice, and
other of his Itarncel friends, had admitted that no better
measure could be devised to meet the evil of which they all
complained. It was not infamous houses, quoad infamous
houses,which this act would touch, but the furnishing of such
houses with inmates. _ .

Lord BROUGHAM said that two of his objectior s to the
bill had already been removed by the statement of the right
rev. prelate. Although be approved of the mceseire, and
was anxious to see such an act paced, he felt that there
were very great difficulties in the way of legislating en such •
subject. The object of the bill was to prevent seduction
for the lucre of gain. It was not the object of
the measure to put down prostitutes who resorted profes-
sionally to houses of ill lame, but to prevent the seduction of
innocent females. Therefore this was a measure which
meant one thing and enacted another. Would the house be
jestined hi passing such a bill ?
The Earl of MOUNTCASHELL did not think the bill as
good as the one which had been introduced into the other
house on the subject. The evil which the measure sought to
remedy was of a most fearful character, and although it was
to a certain extent imperfect, perhaps it would be difficult to
I devise a better measure. There were men and women who
traveled over the country with the view of bringing inno-
cent females to town for the purpose of seduction. He hoped
their lordships would therefore see the necessity of passing
this bill, the object of which was to protect these innocent
persons. He could gave their lordships instances, ay, in-
stances of relatives of peers, who had fallen victims to the
crimes of these persons. lie trusted therefore that as fathers
of reptiles their lordships would be anxious to support the

Lord DENMAN said the measure had undergone great
coxsideratios, and he was afraid that it would be fraught
with greater evi:s than those which it sought to remedy. He
believed it would lead to attempts to extort money; and
with erny wish to legislate on the subject, he could not
think the present measure calculated to cure the evil. No
doubt decoying a person into • house was a punishable
offence at present. It was most painful for hint to oppose a
measure of thia sort, but it having been fully round, red in
committee, he thought the difficulties had been found to be
se great that it was impossible the measure could be curled
into ellect.
_ . .

Lord CAMPBELL expressed similar views. He utterly
despaired of such a mtasure being carried into operation.
Lord NELSON thought the evil was so great, that the
measure was at least worth a trial.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said no one could dissent
from the object of the bill, for there was no doubt that seduc-
tion was one of the greatest evils that afflicted scciety; but
be really thought it impossible that the measure could be
carried out. The noble and learned lord proceeded to
point out some of the legal difficulties of the measure.
The Earl of HARROWBY supported the bill, and
thought there was no such difficulty in carrying it tut as
noble and learned lords seemed to think.
. .

Earl GREY begged to remind their lordships that they
:ere apt in committee upon the bill, but upon the question

of its third reading.
The Bishop of LLANDAFF supported the bill.
The Bishop of olt Oltll, in r. ply, referred to the b• ne-
ficial effects which had attended legisiation upon this subject
in Berlin, Coblenz. Bremen, Breslau, and other continental
cities. He was ready to insert the word " fraudulent," in
connexion with the words, "means or deem...," believing
that tuts addition would meet the only practieil objection
which he understood as having been made to the bill.
Their lordships divided—Fur the third reading 21

Their lordships adjourned at a quarter past 7 o'clock.
