SUOMI. —The amount of 6114110 M done this wish has been
limited, and chiefly confined to tho trade, and current
qualities only have sold at last week's prices ; low descrip•

Corrut.—The public sales have been large this week,
and common sorts declined Gd. to L. at the owning, but a
better tone has existed the last two days, and good current
qualities have been sold at last week's prices.
TLL— The large public sales went off the first two days
without spirit, at about previous rates. The publication of
the despatches from China (official) materially strengthened
opinion, and a shade advance has in many instances beta
paid.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—(THIS DAY.)
Mears. Pattenden and Smith report that the markets
Arm ; the bine in many places is weak and unkind, and the

SHARP CRITICISM.—MT. Walter Thornbury, who,
in imitation of Mr. Ruskin, has published his criticisms on
the Academy Exhibition pamphlet-wi4e—which criticisms
(on the principle that "dog should not eat dog") IV2 for-
bear to criticise generally—has his fling at the Arlatncettne
apropos of the famous blunder about the egg in.
Sir Edwin Landaeer's picture. Mr. Thomhury says :
" Some fussy, cackling critie thinks Sir Edwin should
not have made the egg-shell hard, not knowing that the
shell of a new•laid ea almost instautaneoady hanlens."
Mr. Thorobury's blunder here is quite so had as that of the
critic of the Atka/rem. An egg, when laid by a healthy
bird, has its shell perfectly formed and perfectly hard
beton+ it leaves the oviduct. Really thew fine-art critics
ought to get up a little natural history, before they under-
take the schooling of such sincere observers of nature as bit
Edwin Landseer.—Critic.
WATIRPORD Coax MARKET, MAY 30.—We have
have bad very trifling deliveries of h.ose•grotrn grain since
Saturday, and the supplies of foreign are exeeedinTly small.
The trade, notwithstanding, is far from active, but we note
no change in the value of any article, except oats, which
are rather cheaper.
SEILADENARIAN BARRIS/TEEL—IS IS a mournful
thing to see : a man growing poorer as be it growing older,
or losing position in any way. If it were in my power,
would make all barristers above sixty pulses. They ought
to be put io a situation of dignity and lurepand,3o.,. Tot,
don't like to go into a court o justice, and there behold a
thin, grey-headed counsel, somewhat shaken in nerve, look-
ing rather frail, battling away with a full-blooded, confident,
hopeful, impudent fellow, tive•and-twenty roan his junior.
The youthful, hig-whlehered, roaring. and talking advo-
cate is sure to be bald in much the greater estimation by at-
torney's clerks. The old gentleman's day is over ; but With
lessening practice and disappointed hopes be must drive on
at the bar still. I wish I were a chief jmtice, that by epe-
cial deference sod kindliness of manner, I might daily soothe
somewhat the feelings of that aging man.—Frmier's Maga-
zine for June.
HOSPITAL TOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—The
annual court of the governors of this excellent charity was
held yesterday in the board room of the hospital the
Marquis of Westminster in the chair. It appeared from the
report that during the last year 972 patients had been ad-
mated, being an increase of 305 over the previous year,
668 patients bad been dismissed, many greatly bonetitralt,
and 124 had died. Aa so many deaths had occurred during
•ahort period, it was necessary that the governors should
exercise more caution in the selection of patient+ for admis-
sion. A great deal of good had been done among the out-
patients, sad the number of cases pre,crihed for in 1859
was 4,649 ; in 1858, the number was 3,971. The !mum'
