GLASGOW CORN MARKET.—bintcx 25,

The market was very thinly attended to-day, and busi.
ness, on the whole, was rather limited. Wheat receded
6d to is per boll, and flour Is per sack. In barley a
fair business was done, but buyers had the turn in their
favour. ]leans were scarce, and fetched full prices ; oats
and oatmeal were in retail demand at last week's prices ;
Indian corn was dull at 20s for mixed.

stand has been submitted to our notice; by a simple but
ingenious contrivance, the ink is always kept clear and

FOLEY'S AMERICAN GOLD PENs.—Charles
wholesale and retail stationer, 19, South John.street
respectfully intimates to merchants, traders, and dealers,
that he has been appointed sole agent for the sale of Foley's
celebrated American Gold Pens, which are universally
acknowledged to be far superior to any other manufactured
either in America or this country, They are sold cheaper,
are made of the best gold, with superior points, and are
warranted to wear at least ten years. In America they
have been extensively used for that period, and are pre-
ferred to new ones. The prices range from five shillings to
a guinea each. Supplied wholesale by Charles Willmer,
19. South John-street. Livernool.--Ade.t.
THE CALIFORNIAN PEN.—The everlasting question of
" is this a good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall
of South John street, who has succeeded in producing," a
metallic pen, which he designates—not inaptly—as above.
There is hardly.anything more annoying than a had pen—
every one knows the misery. The pen made by 14tr. Hall is
fit for any hand to use—iight or heavy—and, what is of the
greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with equal
facility in any ink. . From experience of metallic pens, we
can say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will
last nearly as long, is the best one we have ev, r used. One
box, containing six dozen pens, sent free on receipt of 2s 6el
in postage stamps. Agents wanted for the country.—

BUGS,—One of the greatest domestic nuisances, especially
in the spring and summer of the year, is the prevalence of
bugs. Many means have been triad to prevent or extermi-
nate them, but all hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may
check but cannot eradica,e them. Mr. R. Greer, late one
of the Liverpool sanitary officials, after intense study end
deep research with many practical experiments, in the usual
pursuit of his official avocation, has a? lenuth discovered the
great desideratum, " Greer's Patent Anti Bug Lotion," is
an unfailing exterminator of bugs, fleas, &c. It is clean,
simple in application, agreeable in smell, and perteey
innexious save to insects. To be had at the Anti Verm'n
Office, 49, Brownlow hill, Liverpool,
_in
,bottles at Is, 2s
and 4s each.—Advt.

UNDER THE LAMP ! —The subject of discussion at the
last meeting of the Union Society, in the learned town
of Oxford was, " Thlt some coercion of the press is
rendered necessary by la,e (vents!"

" The fishery on the coast of Iceland," says the Autorite
of Dunkirk, " will this year be carried on to a larger
extent than has yet been done. It is expected that at
least 110 large smacks will leave this port alone about the
Ist of April. Others are fitting out at Boulogne and Grave-
lines for the same destination, although not in so great a
number."
