MARKETS.

I'ItODUCE.—The month;y eir,alar of Misses. H. W.
Jew rebury and Co. observes: ^ There has been an increased
confidence in the foreign and colonial produce markets during
the past month, and importers beim_ liens in their d, mantis, i
haye in many inverters succeeded in obtaining advanced
rates. The more favourable po►ition of the Bsstern ques-
tion has tended to produce this result, and should it termi-
nate favonrably, as is now confidently expected, combined
with the fine harvest weather lately experienced, will, it
may reasonably be antic pater', be followed by increased
business transactions throughout the whole country, and
that the present large consumption of all the leading articles
I will not only be maintained, but be still further ineriased.
The importations of produce hive been large, which has
prevented the stocks showing any material alteration from
those of last month. The consumption of sugar having
increased so largely, arrivals tail to present that gradual
reduction of stock, which has been taking place for
some time past. Cochineal has improven in value
since our last, and from the accounts of the
deficiency of the crop in the Writ Indies, we may look for
higher rates being paid. Indigo and safflower are both
firmer with an upward tendency ; other dyes and dying
materials remain much the same as last month. The con-
tinental advice' report the produce markets firm, with a
good business doing. The late advice' from India and
China notice that at the former; place trade continues dull ;
at the latter place the revolution now going on naturally
affects mercantile transactions, but hitherto resrect has
been paid to foreign merchants and their effects. From our
own Inanufuctarrug districts advices report an improved
tone, but the increased rate of interest caused by the con.
tinned demand for capital has materially affected business
transactioes, more particularly for Manchester goods. The
woollen districts report a continued good demand, and firm
prices. Indigo.—This article since our last has been in fair
demand ; previous rates are well supported, and have rather
an upward tendency. particularly for the finer descriptions;
the last news from Calcutta is decidedly more encouraging
as regards the prospects of the new crop,which is still, how-
ever, not expected to prove an average oat: 115,000 mounds
are mentioned us the probable amount of yield, which
would be equal to about 28,000 chests; about 1,000 chists
remain fur shipment, hut they will most probably be kept
back until the end of the year; the quantity shipped from
Calcutta from Ist Nov., 18.52, to 30th June, 114,53, was, to'
Great Britain 14,822 chests, to France 8,140, to North
America 1,546, to the Red Sea, Bombay, and other ports
2,103, total 26,671 chests. The quantity shipped to Great
Britain at the corresponding period last year, was 22,911
chests. Our stock is now 22,873 chests, against 30,078 ; the
deliveries have been 21,299, against 22,673 at this time last
year. The stxk of Guatemala is 2,254 serons, against
1,384 in 1852."

COTTON.—LIVERPOOL, Auo. 24.—The market closed
tamely and steadily, and, compared with Friday's rates,
prices of all kinds are little changed. The low qualities
of American might no doubt be bought at some decline,
but they sr, not asked for. S4lea, G,OOO bales, 1,000 for
export. They comprise 4,500 Americans, 110 l'ernams
and Msranhsms, 6Ad. to Bd. ; 250 Bahia, 61d. to sp. ; .500
Egyptian, 61d. to Bd. ; 500 Surat, 311. to 4IU. ; 100 Sea li.
lands, Is. 6d. to 3s. per lb.

COltN.—Bosvon, Aug 24.—Our market has followed
London, and has been very excited to-day. Although the
show was good the farmers succeeded in making an advance
of 4s. per qr. on Wheat over lett week's rates, and a fair
business done. A few samples of new Wbeat offering; the
quality good, and prices about the rainc as old ; red, ti3s. to
655. ; white, 6,5 s to 675.

STOCXTON•ON-TEEA, Aug. 24.—The weather during the
past week has been most favourable for maturing the crops.
H
the crops, although much improvid by the late favourable
change in the weather, are reported to be very thin on
the ground. The arrivals of Wheat coastwise and from
abroad are large, and the supply from the growers to this
day's meiket was pretty good. The improvement in Mark
lane causedisellers to ask a similar advance, which buyers
would not concede; the market was, however, cleared at an
advance of 21. per qr. on last week's currency. In other
grain there is no change. Imports : Wheat, coastwise, 1,595
qrs. ; foreign, 2,270 ; Oats, coastwise, 140.
DUBLIN, Aug. 23 —ln consequence of the advance in
the London market, higher rates were demanded hi re for
ali descriptions of old grain, but they were only realised in a
few inst . , and from needy buyers. We repeat our quo-
tations of Friday. The supply of new grain is Increasing.
New oats supported last day's prices. New bere a shade
dearer to-day. Rape was fully Is. higher. White wheat,

COMPLIMENT TO AN ENGLISH MUSICIAN.—The
direction of the Grand Concerts of the Gewandhaus. at
Leipzic, presided over by Mendelssohn up to the time of
his death, has been offered to Mr. Sterndale lhinett.
These concerts are considered the most famous in Ger-
many.
DisorsTlNG AFIATIL—On Friday last, an Irish
labourer, residing in Dryeate-street, having got himself a
little elevated, forthwith determined to enlist in the lion.
East India Company's service, and accordingly shortly after
took the hob. On reselling his domicile on Saturday last,
Pat related the affair to his better half, when she, like a
loving wife, thoughtfully considered bow her husband
could escape from the clutches of the soldiers. lice confi-
dential friends were immediately called in to deliberate,
and, after a sh-rt diseussim, it was resolved that Pat's right
eye should be sacrificed, thereby disabling him from being
a soldier. The unthinking wretches instantly put the reso-
lution into force by attacking the man, who was still under
the influence of liquor, and knocking him down. Alter-
nately the women but m'.re especially the man's wife—
made unsurcessful attempts with their fingers to gouge or
tear out l'at'e eye, the poor man meanwhile making
the best resistance he emit' against such inhuman treat-
ment. The police by this time were apprised of the occur-
rence, and proceeded to the house, but the " oreulists " had
fled. The man was brought to the Central Police-office and
attended by the surgeon of the establishment. The eye
which had been experimented upon was severely bruised
round the optic,the lids were much swollen and discoloured,
and his face scratched in vuious places.—North British
Daily Mail.
