PRICES OF WOOL AND OIL AT LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 1
—Last month the wool market was quiet, which 'we at
tribute in a great measure to a want of variety, there
being in stock very little of useful kinds; it may also 'be
remarked, that in some parts of Yorkshire a dull feeling
is manifested, which we fancy is of a temporary charac-
ter, as the consumption continues large, and appearances
justify the conclusion, that we are likely for sometime
hence to have 'a good trade. By private treaty the
transactions have been neither large nor numerous, com-
prising a few sales of Buenos Ayres, Peruvian, Oporto,
Sic., ~ at full prices of the previous month. There is
a fair demand for good combing Russian, and the lower
qualities of East India; other descriptions of coarse not
much sought after, unless at a reduction. About 2,500
bales were offered by auction on the 29th and 30th ult.,
1,600 bales of which were East India, and SOO bales
Buenos Ayres; the attendance was numerous, but the
competition was somewhat languid; East India sold at a
decline of id. per lb. on the average since the 3d of
August, caused probably by the quantity of English
short wool in the market, which has been sold very low;
when the stock of English becomes reduced, which must
be ere long, with the present consumption, prices will
doubtless soon recover the fall—Buenos Ayres and other
kinds also sold lower. Scotch—Cheviot is in good de-
mand, especially the fine clips; cross moves off but
slowly; and to make sales of Laid Highland rather
lower prices are taken, the quantity on hand is light.
English and Irish—Coming fleeces are still taken freely;
the sales are to a fair extent, and holders- not disposed to
submit to any reduction. Oil—The business done has
been rather extensive; a further advance is established,
and there is every prospect of prices being much higher,
as the quantity is considers* lessened.—From Joseph
Robinson and Co.'s Circular.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.—We have great satis-
faction at being made the medium of announcing that,
in the event of our foreign relations presenting a suffi-
ciently peaceable aspect to admit of the act of Royal
condescension, her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the
leading members of the Court, intends taking a trip up
the Mediterranean next year, and honouring with a
visit, during her marine excursion, some of the southern
isles. An intimation of the Sovereign's determination
has been thus early communicated to the autho-
rities, both in England and abroad, whose ser-
vices are indispensable to a royal tour. The pre-
paration for the grand exhibition of specimens of
the arts and manufactures of all nations, which we have
reason to know is the project of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, are in a state of_ active progress. Al-
ready interest has been awakened on the subject'in
France and America, and it is certain that the exhibi-
tion will be on a scale of magnificence hitherto totally
unexampled. Some of the prises will amount to 5,0001.,
and, to enhance their value, will be distributed by the
highest personage in the realm. Prince Albert., just be-
fore his departure for Irelind, had several consultations
with some 'distinguished members of the world of art
respecting this great undertaking; and his Royal High-
ness has authorised three gentlemen to proceed to the
manufacturing districts to secure the full co-operation
of the English manufacturers. It is understood that the
exhibition will be held in a temporary building of enor-
mous extent, to be erected in Hyde-park; and that, for
some time, at least, a liinited charge will be made for
admission.---WeektyChrenicle. •
THE AMENDED COUNTY COURTS ACT.—On Satur-
day two provisisons in the new County Courts Act (12th
and thirteenth Vict., cap 101) came into operation, re •
pealing the, authority given to the judges to commit to
county gaols or houses of correction, and substituting
the usual debtors' prison, where in future debtors are to
be sent. By the third section it is provided that where
a debtors' prison is situated at an inconvenient distance,
or is in a crowded state, the Secretary of State may au-
thorise commitments to a house •of correction, " and
make ordera altering the regulations of such house of
correction or gaol so far as respects the treatment of
persons to be committed under this Act, in order that
such persons may be treated as nearly as may be in like
manner as if they had been committed to a gaol in which
such debtors as aforesaid may be confined, notwithstand-
ing the regulations in force in such house of correction
or gaol to which such persons may be committed, and
every such order may from time to time be revoked or
varied by such Secretary of .State as occasion may
require.
THE IRON TRADE AND THE STRIKE IN SOUTH
STAFFORDSHIRE.—BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.--The turn
out of thick coal men which has existed for some
weeks past• in the neighbourhood of Wednesbury,
West Bromwich, and other parts of the mining districts
of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire, is nearly
at an end. A great number of the colliers have returned
to work at the old prices. At the time notice was given
of a reduction of wages the prospects of the iron trade
were of a gloomy description; within the last two weeks
the manufacture of iron in this vicinity has much im-
proved, and there is reason to hope that the improvement
will be permanent.
