CURE FOR DEAR BREAD.
YELLOW BUTTER FOR EIGHTPENCE,

KELLY'S BUTTER PLACE

HOW TO PRESERVE THE PEACE OF EUROPE
The aspect of the Continent
Now fills us with alarms,
When we behold Sardinia, France,
And Austria in arms.
Not that we tremble for ourselves,
•
Here in our home sea-girt;
Yet still we would the scourge of war
From other lands avert.

The skilled n foreign politics
Their brains are racking now
Peace to preserve in Europe
By all means, no matter how.
A General Congress they propose,
By means of which they trust
The various points of difference
To speedily adjust.

With all respect for such wise heads.
I rather think I can
Propose a much more simple
And a much less tedious plan.
The self-same plan which I propose,
When India rebelled,*
Which plan was then adopted,
And behold the mutiny quelled.

Let every one who peace desired
To Kelly quickly hie,
And him beseech each army
With his butter to supply.
On tasting which all thoughts of war
Within each breast would cease,
And every voice break forth in praise
Of butter and of peace.

And tell me, would each hostile host
A whit more glory gain
By struggling like " Kilkenny cats."
Till tails alone remain ?

The brilliant suggestion referred to appeared thus, in Ju.

" In re " greased cartridges—
" The Government should really send to Delhi,
" Some Butter from the celebrated Kelly,"
And we all know what followed.

As some uneasiness was felt by the people of Liverpool,
with respect to a continuation of this yellow Butter at Bd.,
we beg to inform them, we shall have quite enough to meet
the demand to the 12th May.

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is
nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful-
ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass,
valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such
things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended.
The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and
effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near
Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per-
fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articlesspoken of ,
and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The
benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen
some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the
glass that has been cemented by it is stronger inYthat part
than in any other. The artMe is very cheap, and no house
can be long without it. Mr. Jiall is the agent for its sale
in Livexpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by
looking in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E.
T. Hall, 23, South John-street, Sold in bottles, is each,

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening.
The Liverpool Cotton Market has been very dull
and heavy to-day; the sales have been only 3,000
bales, but there has been no change in prices.
There has been a rather firmer tone in the
Liverpool Stock Exchange to-day, and although the
amount of business done has not been large, some
rather extensive sales have been made at improved
prices. The transactions reported were :—Lan-
eashire and Yorkshire, 85 ; London and North
Western, 861-, • Ditto :one-eighth shares, 2d;
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 331, • Midland,
931 ; North British, 53 ; North Staffordshire, 52 d ;

The Liverpool Corn Market showed Increased
firmness to-day, and, with a moderate business,
Wheat advanced from 7d to 9d per cental, and Flour
was from 9d to is higher. Other articles, although
not absolutely higher, were a shade dearer.
The Liverpool Wool Sales were resumed this after-
noon, the selling brokers being the Messrs. Greames.
The first catalogue comprised 1,355 bales, which
were offered by Mr. Malcolm Greame, and embraced
1,020 East India all of which were sold, and so rapid
were the biddings that the catalogue was got
through in about an hour. Mr. W. Greame's cata-
logue followed, and comprised 1729 bales, including
535 bales of East India, but of which 411 were with-
drawn before the auction. The prices realised to-day
were fully equal to those obtained at any previous
sale of the present series. At the London sales, there
was a fair attendance of buyers this afternoon. For
all good and fine qualities the biddings were tole-
rably active at the opening at full quotations, but
the inferior parcels were very dull. Messrs. Hughes
were the selling brokers.
The Traffic Return of the Great Western Railway
of Canada, for the week ending the 23rd of April,
gives the receipts at 9,2171. against 10,4081. for the
corresponding week last year, showing a decrease of
1,1911.
The London Stock Market has shown no new feature
ofimportance to-day. Consols opened firm at the closing
quotations of vesterday, and after becoming a shade
weaker, they left off firm at about the same point as
yesterday. The following were the closing prices
for Public Securities : - Consols for Money, 91;3,, 91-4 ;
for Account, 911, 911; Three per Cents., 907, 90',1 ;
Bank Stock, 218 to 221; Exchequer Bills (large
and small) 25 to 30 prem. _

The London Market for Railway Shares has been
quiet all day, and prices have not undergone any
change of importance, but they closed firm as
follow :--Ambergate, 51, 51 ' • Caledonians, 74, 75 ;
Preference, 99, 101 ; Eastern Counties, 501, 521; East
Lancashire, 84, 85 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 68, 70 ;
Great Northern, 93, 95 ; Ditto A, 75, 80 ; Ditto

Western of Canada, 1370 13a ; Ditto New shares,
71, 7 , • Grand Trunk of Canada, 7=4, 7a.

The Manchester Goods Market-Continues remark-
ably quiet, and the complete cessation of business by
the German• houses is beginning to tell seriously,
and prices have a strong downward tendency.
To-day there has been scarcely any business done.
In the Discount Market to-day the demand was
comparatively quiet, but there was a fair supply of
commercial bills, and the quotations are without
alteration. At the present moment there is very
little inquiry for calls upon shares or loan instalments.
Most of the financial operations lately introduced to
this market on behalf of Foreign States are now
completed, but the Indian Loan payments from
time to time may exercise some influence upon
the discount market. The next subscription,
amounting to 25 per cent., will fall due on the 14th
proximo. . . .

- The inquiry for Silver for the Continent continues,
and transactions took place yesterday at the
enhanced quotation of 620 per oz. standard. For
the East there is little or no inquiry, and were it not
for the Government remittances the sum by the next
Calcutta steamer would be extremely limited.
The steamer Columbian, from Suez, with the
English mail for Australia of January, was spoken
with by the Emeu, at two days' distance from
Melbourne.

The suspension is announced of Messrs. Cresswell
and Sons, in the iron trade, of Tipton, with, accord-
ing to local statements, liabilities to a large amount.
The Admiralty require tenders on the 24th inst.,
for the hire of a ship, to :convey about 140 male
convicts, and a guard of two officers and fifty men,
besides stores, from England to Gibraltar.

The Funds opened this morning with a dull appearance,
and at one period a reduction of fully 1, per cent. was
quoted, the speech of the Prince Regent of Prussia being
regarded by some as a threat against France, and as
portending in extension the area of the war. In the
afternoon renewed firmness prevailed, and consuls
finally closed fully as high as on Saturday.
In the other departments of the Stock Exchange dullness
in the morning was followed by comparative firmness in
the afternoon. The supply of money on offer continues
very large, and more disposition is shewn to take first-class
bills at 4to 41 per cent. There were no gold operations at
the Bank to-day. £131,000 of gold from Australia and
America was taken for the Continent. A further sum of
£179,000 from Australia is expected to be taken as soon as
delivered.--Daily News City Article, Monday Evening.
The English funds opened without alteration this morning,
and have closed at a fractional improvent, although at one
time there was a fall of about t per cent. The rates of
exchange quoted by the Indian telegram to-day show, at
Calcutta, a movement of about 1 per cent. in favour of this
country. in China there has been an adverse turn equal to
about 2 per cent. at Hong Kong, and 21 per cent, at
Shanghai.--Times City Article, Wednesday Evening.
The suspension is announced of Messrs. Cresswell and
Sous in the iron trade of Tipton.
THE CORN MARXET. —The report of the Daily News
is, that on Monday English wheat was quoted at an advance
of 3s to 4s over the previous Monday's prices. The Times
also says there has been an advance, amounting to between
3s and 4s.

MAIL NEWS.—The steamer Columbian, from Suez, with
the English mail for Australia of January, was spoken with
