MARKETS—This Day.

and the late advance in the quotations is fully supported.
The excitement in this description has, however, in some
measure subsided. For Down wool there is a steady in-
quiry, and prices rule firm. Purchases at high rates still
continue to be made in new produce in first rate hands.
Colonial wool, by private contract, is in fair average re-
quest at fully last week's currency. The next public sales
will probably commence on the sth prox. The arrivals to
date are :—From Sydney, 9,466 bales; Port Philip,
34,663; Van Dieman's Land, 1,591; Adelaide, 10,811;
New Zealand, 3,265; Swan River, 1,121; Cape, 6,975.
Total, 67,898 bales.

last sentence was no doubt irresistible. There is
one other argument, however, which we have kept
to the last as the gem of the whole speech. "It
was impossible," be said, " to regard the proposal
as anything but an attempt to increase the number
of Roman Catholic subjects." We confess we are
at a loss to understand what this means; er how the
visits of Roman Catholic priests to Roman Catholic
prisoners would have any tendency to increase their
or any other species.
Would it have been credible before the event
that all this nonsense should have been not only
spoken, but listened to patiently and approved
by 70 magistrates of the metropolitan county ?
They had before them two simple considera-
tions—one of common justice, the other of com-
mon reason. The question of justice may be simply
proposed in the familiar coeeideratloa of doing as
Vicy would be done by. If many hundreds of our
countryman were constantly liable to be immured
in a Spanish prison, these seventy gentlemen are
just those who would get up a great agitation and
go on deputations to Lord Palmerston to get
Protestant chaplains appointed to the Spanish
gaols ; and they would think it monstrously
hard if the Pontifical Government refused to
allow the establishment of a Protestant clergy man
and a Protestant church at Rome. Yet no other
considerations whatever, except force, can be
brought to bear on the Spanish or Roman Govern-
ment which do not equally bear on the magistrates
of a county with a large number of Roman Catholic
prisoners. As to the consideration of reason, the
question is, as we have before put it, whether these
prisoners shall have any religious or moral influence
brought to bear on their minds at all. It is idle to
say they can have it if they like. It is much the
same thing as telling a man with hydrophobia that
he may drink water if he likes. The very men who
will not send for the priest are just those who want
him most. The opposing magistrates seemed to
speak of the matter on Thursday as though a minis-
ter were a sort of luxury which ought to be denied
to prisoners, in the same way as amusing books or
newspapers or venison, as though he were a sort of
dispenser of agreeable theological excitement or con-
troversial delicacies. But we appoint chaplains to
our gaols for the supposed purpose of initiating a
process of improvement by awakening in the minds
of prisoners religions and moral motives. He is sup-
posed to be as essential a part of the prison as
the cell, the rank, or the treadmill. His duty
and use are, ao to say, to interpret to the convict
the external consequences of his crime, and force
them home on his conscience and reason. If this
be necessary for Protestant prisoners, it is certainly
necessary for Roman Catholic prisoners ; and it is,
in fact, nothing short of a direct derelection of duty
when it is not provided. We hope the day is not
far off when the prejudices we have been exposing
—perhaps more foolish than bigoted—will yield to
these simple considerations, and when Roman
Catholic ministers will be regularly admitted, not
only to our gaols, but even, in spite of Sergeant
Payne's almost inhuman expression, to lunatic
asylums. That any English gentleman could be
led to refuse to the unhappy inmates of county
lunatic asylums the chance of the comforting, and
therefore restoring, influence which the ministra-
tions of priests of their own religion might afford
is alone sufficient to condemn the spirit which
prompted the opposition of the Middlesex Magis-
trates.

MARK-LANE.
The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled heavy, and prices declined in several
instances is per quarter. Malting barley was dull, and
drooping in value ; but in oats, beans, and peas, including
flour, no quotable change took place.
Both on the continent and at New York buyers of pro-
duce on British account operate cautiously, and prices rule
in some instances the turn easier. Up to this market last
week the arrivals of English grain, &a., were bur, moderate.
The imports from abroad amounted to 4,832 qrs of wheat,
1,267 barley, 19,366 oats, 1,600 rye, 20 beans, 275 tares,
8,932 linseed, 2,753 oilseeds, 220 sacks and 1,200 barrels of
flour.
The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market
to-day, were but moderate. The trade, however, both for
red and white qualities, ruled heavy, and, compared with
Monday last, the prices realised exhibited a reduction of
fully is per quarter.
'f he supply of foreign wheat on the stands was by no
means extensive. Dant zic and 1i onigsberg wheat were
held at previous rates ; otherwise, the trade was dull, and
the quotations had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at
about stationary prices.
The market was seasonably well supplied with mostkinds
of barley. For all descriptions the; trade ruled heavy, and
prices declined is per quarter.
Malt sold heavily, and the quotations gave way is per
quarter.
The supply of oats on sale was moderate. Generally
speaking, the trade ruled quiet, yet no change took place in
the rates current on Monday last.
The supply of beans on sales was small, and the trade
ruled firm, at extreme rates.
Peas fully supported last Monday's currency, with a
steady demand for all qualities. The show of samples on
offer was very moderate.
For flour, both English and foreign, the demand ruled
inactive at previous quotations.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was only
moderate for the time of year, and its general quality was
by no means first rate.
From our grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the
arrival of beasts fresh up was tolerably good. The English
beasts were of middling quality—those from Scotland very
prime. Most breeds commanded a steady sale, and, in
some few instances, the quotations advanced 2d per Blbs.
Inferior beasts sold at last week's currency. A. few very
superior Scots and crosses realised 55., but the general
top figure for beef was 43 10d per 81be., at which sales pro-
gressed steadily.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge.
shire amounted to 1,950 Scots, crosses, and short horns;
from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from
Scotland, 337 Soots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 140
oxen. With most breeds of sheep, we were somewhat scantily
supplied—but their general condition was good. The
mutton trade was firm, and really prime sheep were 2d. per
81bs. higher in price. The best Downs, in the wood, sold
at 6s ; out of the wool, 4s 10d per 81bs.
Lambs were in fair request az-, ♦ery full prices, viz , from
6s to 7s 4d per Blbs. About 600 arrived from the Isle of
Wight.
In calves—the supply of which was only moderate—very
little was doing, at last week's quotations.
The sale for pigs was heavy, at late rates.

GARIBALDI AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

(THIS DAY.)

The presentation of the trades' addresses to
General Garibaldi having been arranged for to-
day, the early trains to the Crystal Palace were
crowded in an extraordinary manner. The gates
of the Palace were opened at nine o'clock, and
immediately after thousa ids of visitors arrived in
quick succession. The weather was all that could
be desired, and no doubt this greatly swelled the
number of those present. Nothing like an estimate
of the number present at the time of writing could
be iformed, as every five minutes brought fresh
acquisitions to the already enormous assemblage.
The proceeding will be as great a success as the
presentations of Saturday ; and as that event will
be found in another part of The Sun, it is only
necessary at present to say that the demonstration
of to-day was nearly in all respects similar, except
as to the filing past the General of the numerous
deputations, each of whom presented the address
of their respective bodies.

The French Press on Garibaldi's Visit to
England,

SECOND EDITION.

The Monde says that the English Cabinet sane.
tions the demonstrations through hatred to France.
Our contemporary expresses itself in these terms :
;Whilst onr sophists labour, at the rehabilitation of
Satan, the enerey of God ; of Judas, the enemy of Jesus
Christ; and of Julian the Apostate, the enemy of the
Church, there is at a few leagues from France a nation
which does not content itself with writing and speaking,
but which acts—a nation which acclaims and receives as a
King, a hero, and a virtuous man, the declared enemy of
France and of the Catholic Chards, and the friend of Eng •
land and of Mazzini. It is not an ignorant populace who
press its crowds round him, who carry in triumph,
and who abandon every occupation to see end
hear him and touch his hand, but all classes,
all.; ages, and all conditions of the nation, old men,
women, and children, all are in movement ; workmen,
tradesmen, and manufacturers, all rush to meet him. The
official world rival in enthusiasm with simple citizens;
members of the House of Commons mix with peers; the
aristocracy show themselves as eager as the democracy;
Whigs and Tories manifest equal admiration ;:even the Mi-
nisters of Queen -Victoria follow the cortege of the hero,
and go so far as to endeavour to make her Majesty take part
in the demonstration, by advising her to confer the Order of
the Garter on the Duke of Sutherland, the host of Garibaldi.
The delirium is universal. But is it delirium ? Lord Pal-
merston, who at fit st was not well pleased at the arrival of
the adventurer, soon changed his conduct by recognising
what he could not prevent, and has resolved to turn the visit
to his own advantage. if his wish has been to obtain a
striking glorification of the Italian Revolution, he has
certainly succeeded; if he has wished to show that England
is still the cordial enemy of France, the enemy of the
Papacy, and the instigator of revolutions, he has been suc-
cessful ; his triumph is complete, sad he has, moreover,
the satisfaction of seeing that a great part of the French
press unites its plaudits to those of London, and triumphs
with it at the shameless insults offered to France. It is
from this time agreed that France has done nothing in
Italy, that England alone rendered possible that glorious
revolution; that she alone can secure the complete accom-
plishment of it, and that to her alone the gratitude of Italy
will be due. We willingly leave that glory to England
and to the adventurer whose name is so justly posted up by
the side of those of Mazzini, of Scanst'eld, and of Palmer-
ston ; the manifestations in London relieve France from
a heavy responsibilite , and in that point of view
we rejoice at them. One of the first consequences will be,
it is said, the return to power of Baron Ricasoli, a convert
to Protestantism and a man devoted to England. So much
the better, for all veils will then rent asunder, the blindest
will be compelled to see clearly, and if the patriotic journals
which here acclaim the hero of Marsala persist in their en-
thusiasm, no one can be mistaken as to the sentiments with
which they are inspired.
The Gazette de France affects to consider Gari-
baldi es a nulity popular for the moment and likely
to become an instrument in Lord Palmerston's hands
should the fitting occasion arise
The conduct of the English towards Garibaldi (says the
writer) excites many very angry feelings and an indigna-
tion bordering on disgust. We confess, for our part, but
this is purely a personal opinion, that we entertain none
of these sentiments. Garibaldi is a noisy nullity, an ' heroic
blockhead,' as was remarked by his friend Mazzini, who
knew him from experience. Circumstances and the political
game of Count Cavuur have made him a celebrity, a popular
type; he has served as a screen for the Piedmontese plot-
ters, as he is now used to mask the political machinations of
the English. Garibaldi, as wo have said, is a diplomatic
instrument, serving as a bugbear in the hands of those who
will take the trouble to use him. For this, it suffices to ctli
him a hero, a god, to wreathe crowns for him, to receive him
with acclamations to overwhelm him with polite attentions,
toicall him one's friend.' He has a special weakness for
this kind of appellation. It was by calling him his
friend,' and allowing himself to be addressed in letters as
' dear Victor,' that Victor Emmanuel held him so long
in the service of his ambition, Some will perhaps think
that this is not paying too dearly for Garibaldi's services,
for Garibaldi may, at a given moment, become very useful,
when a pretext of agitation is wanting to cover a premedi-
tated usurpation ; but there are persons who will not de-
scend to such a complaisance; and would find such a strata-
gem repugnant in spite of all the advantages connected
with it. England does not feel any of these scruples, and
at this moment she is striving to attach the "hero" to her-
self by the cheers of the people and the visits of the no-
bility. Lord Palmerston requires such an auxiliary for
the scheme he meditates ; it accords with the views of his
strategy to send Lord Clarendon to Paris and to wel-
come Garibaldi. The general is an invaluable instru-
ment to the English, because it is possible to exaggerate
his influence without increasing his power. An able
man, like some members of the Radical party, would take
advantage of these acclamations to extend his power of ac-
tion ; he would take his earnest and make his conditions;
Garibaldi does riot see so far. _ _ .

to Paris :
What is the object of this mission f Is it the Danish
Duchies? Is it Eastern affairs and the convents of the
Danubian principalities P Is it the Suez Canal. All those
hypotheses are possible and probable. We should not, how-
ever, be astonished if the noble lord was charged with
negotiating some still more important interests. The Eng-
lish cabinet may have the desire to obtain from Paris some
clear, explicit, and categorical declarations as to the
manner in which the eventualities of peace and war
are viewed. England has not at the present mo-
ment any wish to draw the sword ; she strongly desires
that the conflict which has broken out in Germany ah•iuld
not lead to a:general conflagration, and her own embarrass-
ments cause her to with for an amicable solution. Bus who
knows if she does not desire, before becoming, in a certain
manner, a guarantee for peace, to be sole to rely upon
something mere than that attitude of reserve, of isolation,
and meditation, to employ a word in fashion, which she re-
marks in the French Government ? The Earl of Clarendon
would no doubt not be sorry to take back before the 20th
some assurances a little more significant than all that Earl
Cowley has thus far been able to obtain. The game—
a dangerous one—which the Ministry is allowing to be
played, not without a certain affectation, around Gari-
baldi by the population, the aristocracy, and the
revolutionary and anti-papal passions of England,
might in its turn indirectly serve Lord Clarendon as an
argument which cuts both ways, in favour of the thesis
which he has come to support. If the French Government
was not absolutely pacific and conservative, England would
declare herself hardly able to restrain the outbursts of the
famous condottiero, and then war, if it broke out, would
inevitably assume the character of a demagogical conflagra-
tion. Even Victor Emmanuel, who feels that he himself is
outstripped and overpowered, begins to be afraid. England
is persuaded that in presence of this peril she will receive
pledges of a firm resolution not to run the risk of hostilities;
these are what Lord Clarendon has probably come to pro-
cUre, not concealing the fact that, if he returns without be-
ing able to obtain them, the British Cabinet will feel re-
leased from all responsibility as to what serious events the
future may bring forth "

EXECUTION IN IRELAND.—On TlinrsaY morn-
ing, at 8 o'clock, the last sentence of the law was
carried into effect at Waterford on the person of Thomas
Walsh. The facts cannected with the case were of a most
revolting nature.—They are thus bi idly related :—Thomas
Walsh and Thomas Connolly both lived in a wild district
in the south of Waterford. The daughter of the former
married the grandson of the latter, and all went to live in
the same house. The old meta never agreed, and were
always quarrelling. One morning young Connolly left
home, and the old men and Walah's daughter were left
alone in the house. Walsh availed himself of this oppor-
tunity, knocked down Connolly with a hatchet, and then,
dragging his lifeless body into an outhouse, actually chopped
it up into small pieces. These he made so small that he was
able to take them in handfuls and bury them in a garden
which joined the house, But afterwards he thought this
place too near, so at night he again took up the mangled
remains, put them into a bag, and conveyed them to a bog
about three miles distant, where he buried them, making
three or four portions, and burying them in different places.
When young Connolly came home next day of course he
missed his grandfather, and, his suspicion being aroused,
searched for, and after several days' search, found portions
of his mutilated remains. As yet there was no direct evi-
dence against old Walsh, but his daughter, who had been,
according to her own statement, an unwilling witness to all
that has been related, and who, believing herself to be in
danger, saw no means of getting out of it except by swear-
ing against her father. Her father was hanged on her
evidence, and it may be said on her evidence alone. There
is something so unnatural in this that most persons wish
the Crown could have dispensed with her evidence. A
considerable crowd had assembled long before the time ap-
pointed for the execution. It was principally composed of
women, girls, and boys. Few men were present. It was
very orderly, very quiet—indeed, most looked as if they
were deeply impressed with the scene. Precisely at eight
o'clock the condemned man was led to the scaffold. He
looked pale and worn, trembled violently, and could
scarcely stand. He was attended by the Rev. Mr, Dunphy
of this city. The executioner did his business expedi-
tiously—he was evidently no young hand. His face was
blackened, so that it was impossible to tell what he was
like. Walsh was placed on the trap ; in a tew moments the
bolt was drawn, and the struggling, quivering body was
swinging in the air. In a short time he ceased to struggle
, —hie soul was before his judge,
