DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.
Our corn markets are still declining. At the Dublin
Corn Exchange, yesterday, there was a further fall in
everything but old feeding oats, which has scarcely been
affected, and now remains at a very high price. Old
wheat was 2s. per barrel, and new wheat from 2s. to
3s. per barrel lower ; oats and bere were also materially
below the rates of last week, and Indian corn as well
as foreign wheat was *site neglected. The decline in
wheat here, from the highest point, has been fully 12s.
per barrel, which is quite equivalent to 208. per imperial
quarter.
There were lower prices at our Stock Exchange yes. terday for Government securities as well as shares, some
of which have recently advanced considerably.
DEPARTURE OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANT.—Hig Excel.
lency Earl St. Germans is to leave this city for England
on Saturday next. The Privy Council is to meet that
day to swear in Lords Justices. The Freeman's Journal
states that "it is rumoured that it is not improbable
that his Excellency may not return to this country in
his capacity of chief governor."
ALARMING PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA.—The deaths
from cholera in Belfast have considerably increased
within the past week. The Banner of Ulster, of yester-
day, states that the cholera has broken out in the retired
and usually healthy village of Glenarm, and with alarm.
ingly fatal consequences ' • the number of cases reported
since Saturday last being 15, of which no fewer than 12
had proved fatal.
REDUCTION IN TEE PRICE or WHISET.—The price of
whisky in Cork was yesterday reduced 6d. per gallon,
from Bs. 4d. to 7s. 10d.

RIOT AT BARNUM'S EXHIBITION.—A terrible row
says the New York Observer, took place at Lynchburg'
last, week, between the showmen of Barnum's mammoth
exhibition and the citizens of Lynchburg, resulting from
the great number of extra charges made, notwithstand-
ing the published notice that the whole was to be seen
for 50 cents. It was reported that five persons, two of
the citizens and three of the showmen, were very seri-
ously if not fatally injured, and many others slightly.
The affair _wound up by the entire demolition of the
ticket-office and the destruction of its contents, together
with no little incidental damage to the show fixtures.
The scene is represented to have been fearful ; men,
women, and children were assembled under the huge
tent, and the greatest consternation prevailed. Unable
to leave the tents, being in some cases deserted by their
protectors, and in all afraid of being shot or knocked
down in the melee, the alarm of the ladies was excessive.
NATAL COFFEE.—A very beautiful sample of coffee
grown on the farm of W. &nenlon„ Esq., near the Um-
blanga, was shown to us the other day. The berries
are as large, clean, and full as any we have seen im-
ported. The plants aro from Bourbon seed, sown not
quite three years ago ; they have received no great
attention, but are growing with remarkable vigour.
This is the first year of bearing, and yet so heavy has
been the crop that several of the branches were born*
do'wnwards with the weight. The coffee plant, it is now
pltced beyond doubt, grows vigorously and bears well,
in this district, and its rapidly increasing cultivation
will, before long, tell on the market.—D'Urban Mer-
cury.

day). There is a good supply of leather excepting Eng-
lish sole butts, the lighter weights of which are scarce,
as also are Basils. Neither are English sole butts of
middle to heavy weights in such full supply as usual at
the September fair. Up to the present time there has
not been a large trade done ; but the state of the coun-
try, financially and commercially, is healthy, and sellers,
looking forward to an increased demand, show a disin-
clination to submit to any reduction upon the present
values. Raw goods continue firm, and had our stocks
teen larger than they are, a considerable trade might
have been done to-day in foreign hides. Of bark and

nuity of Dr. Smith of Philadelphia. This gentleman, with
a staff of assistant chemists, has for some time been
staying at Merthyr, with a view of experimenting upon
the blast furnace scoria, with the ultimate object of pro-
ducing therefrom a variety of articles in daily use, such
as
ordinary domestic use, and we are glad to state that in
t the furnace cinder Dr. Smith has been
very successful. The bottles thus made are much tougher
and the annealment is more perfect than in the common

.TEEINNKEEPERS AND THE NEW BEER BILL.--
The licensed victuallers of Leeds and vicinity held a
meeting at
the Talbot Hotel, Leeds, on Monday after-
noon last, in order to consider the provisions of the New
THE LEEDS
Beer Bill, as it affects their interests. A most deter.
mined resistance to the new bill was manifested, and it
was resolved to use every possible means to obtain its
repeal. It was also determined to wait upon members
of Parliament, to ascertain their views on the bill ; and
at the next election to oppose all candidates whose opi-
nican were favourable to the present reotrietien4 ,
