There was little business to-day, and prices are nominal.
Duty called £25,000, and plantation accounts continue very
favourable.

DONCASTER CATTLE MARKET

JULY 1€

There was a poor supply of good stook, and trade was
very depressed for all lands of beasts, owing chiefly to the
droughty weather. Mitch cows, the supply. of which, was
moderate, brought from £l3 to £l7. 10s. each. There was
a better.demand for sheep, and wethers sold at from •365. to
40s. per head. There was a good supply of lambsof excel-
lent'qualitY, and worth from. 26s to 30s each. Pigs.wcre a
moderate supply, and trade slow. Store pigs were is. per
cwt., and small pigs fully 2s. per head lower.

CARLISLE CORN MARKET.-

-JULY 16.

At to-day's market the supply of wheat was liberal, but
of oats and barley it was rather. small. There.was a slow
demand for all kinds of grain,, and wheat was 6d. to is.
lower, and oats and barley declined 6d. per quarter.

DONCASTER WOOL MARKET.

JULY 16

The cessation of, hostilities on the Continent, and the
prospect of a 'continued peace has given increased firmness
to the wool trade. To-clay we had a full average show,
amounting to nearly 500 sheets, and which ,met a. ready sale
at about an average increase of price of is. per stone. All
hog fleeces 235. to 235. 6d. ; ewe and hog, 21s. to 225. 6d.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET

-JULY 16

The weather is very hot, and a large supply of farmers'
,wheat was at our market to-day. Holders showed more
confidence at opening, and nearly all was sold off at an
advance of ls. per qr. on Tuesday's prices. South country
and foreign above buyer's views, and consequently a very
small business was done. Flour commanded rather better
sale at Tuesday's rates. Barley met with some enquiry, but
remained unchanged in price. Oats quiet at Tuesday's
rates. In beans and peas, little doing. No change in any
other article.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.

--JULY 16

and without change in price. The sales, including
60 Maranham
300 Egyptian

been recently posted at' Canterbury Barracks, made by the
commandant of the garrison (Colonel Gisborne), prohibiting
the soldiers from bathing, unless by the consent of their
commanding officer."
THE WHEAT CROP.—The past week of extremely hot
Weather has wonderfully hastened the riliening of grain
cropsthe greatest progress was observable on the return
journey from the Warwick show. narvest has already
commenced along the line from London to Dideot. The
Wheat crop, though 'generally this .year a puzzle to the reap-
ing machine, being unusually laid, promises to yield well.—

PROSPECTS OF GROUSE SgOOTING.-It is stated that the
prospects of sport on the Yorkshire and Derbyshire Moors
are very favourable. Storms in the spring delayed the
hatching of the young brood, so that they ,are . somewhat
small, but in regard to numbers, it is believed it will prove
to be an average season.

MONUMENT •TO THE ETTRICK SIIEPIIERD.—It has been
resolved to place the monument to be erected to the memory,
of the " Ettriek Shepherd " at Mount Benger, on the centre
of a ridge, a feiv yards to the west of the house which
Ho kg' occupied while tenant of :Meant Beige; and of
which a small portion remains. This ruin it is proposed to

representation of the poet seated on a handsome pedestal,
will be about 16 or 18 feet high, and will form a prominent
object in the landscape." Land and Building News."
RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM THE SEA.—The Earl of
Leicester hai just completed
,the reclamation frOm the sea of
700 acres.of the vast track of low marshy lands near the
little port of Wells, Norfolk. For this purpose a 0-mat em-
bankment, involving an outlay of some £12,000, has been
carried from the Holkham side of Wells in a straight line
towards the sea, which hasbe:en' it is hoped, effectually shut
out br this means froM the land sought to be reclaimed.
" Herepath's Railway Journal " ' says :—." So great a
quantity of rags has been bought up to make lint for the
,wounded soldiery in Lombardy, as to cause a rise of about
a. farthing a pound in some kinds of paper."

distressing account about bailiffs and debt, and allege this

cused that conduct by saying that if these papers had been

his satisfaction at the ,termination of the war, he proceeded :
" It is too early to speak to you of the exact conditions of

tion of all the States ,under their former rulers, including
Venetia, under Austria. That Confederation, including
nedmont, is to be subject to the presidency, the honorary
presidency, of the Sovereign ',Pontiff of the Roman States.
These, are the results to the promised liberty of Italy, from
the carnage which, unfortunately, has taken place. Do not
understand me to, be pronoiincing any opinion. It would
be premature to, do so with respect to the probable, effect, of
this. But one result, I think, I can say is mevitable, which
is that those friends of liberty, whether • of. liberty in
excess or in mederatiOn, but more especially thoSe friends
of extreme - liberty, ; whose hopes and expectations
have been excited by the interference of France
and Sardinia, will be doubly disappointed at the failure
which has taken place. Far better would it have been to
have held -out no hope's at all, thah by foreign intervention
to have encouraged and excited
~those hopes and then to
have dashed the cup fo—theground, from the lips of a
sensitive people, with all the possible• consequendes of that
disappointment. I rejoice that the war, under any circum-
stances, has stopped where it has been. I give the
Emperor of the French the highest credit for the various

thotives of ni huanity and poliowhich dictated the
he has taken in thus early.putting an _end to the horn

war, becanse I believe that a very little more, and the cdn-
flagration would have extended over the whole 'of Europe,
and it isimpoSsible to say at what time the termination of this
war would then have taken place. But I say itis a position
of affairs which gives room for serious thought and anions
consideration for this country. France has now not only a
Rowerful mil; but she is continuing to increase its effi-'
ciency, and to equip most powerful and most threatening
fleets, and which are by no means necessary for purposes of
self-defence. France may' safely rely upon her army for her
defence, but her powerful fleets must be to the other nations
of the world, an t)l)ject, not of self-defence, but of. amgr.essien.
I believe'sineerely that the Emperor of the Freiicli is desi-
rous of maintaining friendly relations with this country; and
I earnestly hope they may be maintained. But I say those
friendly relations will be imperilled, and those desires
neutralised, 'however much we may wish to remain_ on
good terms with France, if, on account of any 'alte

He then reminded his audience that it was not safe nor wise
to trust too much to continued opposition between the two
