OFFICIAL INSPICTION OF LANCAAKIAZ VOLI7II-
- greatest volunteer demonstration yet witnessed
in Lancashire took place on Saturday last at the Aintree
racecourse, near Liverpool, when Col. M`Murdo held an
official inspection of the various volunteer corps of Liver-
pool and the adjacent towns and districts. Altogether
there were assembled on the ground 4,700 volunteers, of
whom 1,730 belonged to the artillery. A detachment of
the various artillery corps manoeuvred and fired salutes from
six 9-pounder field pieces, both before and at the termination
of the proceedings. The attendance of the spectators was
the most numerous ever witnessed on the racecourse, and
the grand and adjacent stands were crowded by the Hite of
Liverpool and the neighbourhood ; and to crown the pro-
ceedings the weather was most propitious. The inspection
lasted about two hours, the volunteers marching in columns,
quick and double quick. CoL M'Murdo was attended by
the Earl of Sefton, the Hon. Charles Molynsux, Cu!.
Marriott, Majors Harman and Archdale, he. CoL M'Murdo
expressed his entire satisfaction at the display be had wit-
noised, and said Le oliould report his satisfaction to the
Secretary for War, and he would also take care that the
Qteretal should hear of it. In the course of the afternoon
• silver bugle was presented to the let company of the Ist
brigade of the Lancashire Artillery Volunteers by Miss
Louisa Brown.

MARKETS.
TALLOW.

(From the Circular of Merit oulverwell, Brooks, and
Co.„ dated Friday Evening.)
The tallow market has been steady during the week, quo-
tations for Y.C. on the spot having been without alteration.
For forward delivery, however, the course of prior has been
in favour of buyers, and we have to note • decline at 3d.
per cwt. as well fur July to September, se for October to
December, when compared with rates current last Friday.
On the whole the market may be said to have presented a
mare quiet appearance than of late; nevertheless, a
good amount of business his been transacted for the time
of year to meet the present wants of consumers. A good
inquiry has also existed for forward delivery, the continued
scarcity of our home production doubtless tending to create
a demand to meet the requirements of the trade in the
later months of the year. To-day there has been no altera-
tion to note. and the following are current quotations, via,
535. 3d. for Ukraine, and 525. 9d. for fine Y.C.
on the spot ; 525. 61. for delivery in July to
September, and 525. 6d. per cwt. for October to December.
The imports since Monday up to last evening love been 1,128
casks. The deliveries have been 1,058 casks, and the pre-
sent stock of all kinds is 31, 129 casks, being an increase of
2,023 casks when compared with the quantity on band this
day week.
Town Melted.-In our report of last week, we alluded
to the advance (ls. od. per cwt.) then quoted for tallow, as
per the "Market Letter," without any higher pries being
established for the raw article. As we then stated the al.
teration made was (as reported) with a view to enable the
melters to concede the usual deduction of 2s. 6d. par cwt.
from the " Letter price," and hence 525. 6d. net should
have been the current value of tallow since last Friday. We
learn, however, that as high as Me. net has been realised
in several instances; and when it in considered that raw fat
is quoted the SUMO as prior to the advance above noted, it
will be seen that makers have not only refused to concede
the usual deduction of 2e6d., but have obtained an Naive.
lent of 2a per cwt. above what the " old scale " would
have justified. The course now waled, therefore, con-
firms what we have recently stat 4 viz., that the "Letter
price," is a thing of the pest, but now "a nullity."
The public sales to-day resulted as follows :
P. Y. C.-The 50 casks offered were of old import and of
only middling quality, and being held at above buyers'
