LIVERPOOL MUSICAL MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.—The second grand miscellaneous
concert took place last night, and was better attended
than the first, although the hall was anything but
full. The Liverpool public complain bitterly of the
exclusive system adopted by the committee of the
Philharmonic Society, who have placed the charge
of admission to non-subscribers at so high a figure as
one guinea. Without entering at present into the
merits of the dispute, we Must confess that this looks
like a determination to restrain the middle and hum-
bler classes from enjoying the great musical treat
which the festival offers. The population of Liver-
pool may be divided into three sections—the rich, the
middling rich, and the poor.- In the present case the
rich have it all to themselves, the festival being con-
fined to the proprietors of ie Philharmonic Concert
Hall, the subscribers, and the press; since a guinea
in these times for a musical entertainment, no matter
how attractive, is out of the power of any but the
affluent to give. The local press also appear to have
been grumbling about the scanty accommodation
afforded them; and from these two sources
united have sprung up a feeling of hostility against
the society, in which originated the stupid report
of the building being unsafe, and other insinua-
tions inimical to the well-doing of the festival. It
is certain that had the spacious galleries have been
thrown open to the public, at a reasonable price—say
10s. Gd. stalls, and' ss. -7aatik seats—the hall would
have been crammed at both morning and evening
performances, the committee would have added a
large sum to their fund, and the interest among al
classes in favour of the society and its professed object
of elevating the taste for the art in Liverpool, would
have been warm and unanimous. As it is, we think,
a glorious opportunity has been thrown away, or at
least trifled with, of distinguishing this great and com-
mercial place amcng the musical towns of Europe.
The present musical meeting was just the occasion
for establishing a good feeling among all the in-
habitants of Liverpool, and for laying the seeds of
the popularity and consequent prosperity of the so-
ciety. It is, even now, not too late. St. George's-
hall does not seem to be very rapidly approaching
completion, and when the gigantic festival, which has
been so many years talked about, and is to exceed in
grandeur every festival that ever was given or con-
templated, takes place, a more suitable locale for the
musical performances could hardly be desired than
the magnificent concert hall of the Philharmonic
Society. This festival must needs be a popular affair,
from the enormous scale on which it is to be conducttd ;
and if the Philharmonic Society hope to have a di-
recting hand in its management--a natural supposi-
tion—they must begin by conciliating the masses. In
art there should be no divisions, and the wealthy,
middle, and poorer classes of Liverpool may reason-
ably join hands and hearts together where the progress
of music is at stake.
The programme of the second concert was more
interesting than that cf its predecessor. The addi-
tion of Grisi, Mario, Ernst, and Halle to the attrac-
tions, enhanced both its variety and importance. The
gloomy and magnificent overture to Fingal's Cave,
one of Mendelssohn's most original inspirations,
opened the concert, and was finely played by the
band, Mr. Herrinann, the conductor, indicating the
time very correctly. This was followed by the beau-
tiful quintet, " Sento oh Dio !" from Mozart's Cosi
fan Tutte, very effectively executed, Mademoiselles
Jetty Treffa and Corbari, Signori Bartolini,
and Tagliafico being the vocalists. Herr Formes then
sang the air " In diesen heil' gen" (Qui s'degno), from
Mozart's Zauberflote, which is well suited to his deep
voice and impressive style. He was greatly received
on his entry into the orchestra, and was obliged to re-
peat the air by general demand. The appearance of
Mademoiselle Alboni was the signal for immense ap-
plause, which was redoubled at the end of the cavatina
from Semiramide, "In si barbara." How expres-
sively she sings the slow movement, and how per-
fectly she executes the bravura passages of the allegro
of this cavatina, has too often been told to need re-
peating. Another great reception was awarded to
Madame Grisi and Signor Mario, who, in the duet-
tino from Don Pasquale,, at once gained the suffrages
of the audience in the form of a unanimous encore.
A like compliment was paid to Madame Viardot
Garcia's " Ah, non giunge," Mario's " Adelaide"
(admirably accompanied on the piano by Mr. Bene-
dict), and Lablache's "Miei rampolli," all first- rate
performances. Madame Viardot repeated the cabaletta
of her air, Mario substituted the " Ange d'amour,"
from the Favourite, and Lablache went through the
whole of his air again, much to the satisfaction of the
audience, who, joined by all the ladies and gentlemen
of the chorus, applauded the great basso with unmiti-
gated good-will. Vivier repeated his success of the
preceding night, and by the expressive manner in
which he played Benedict's graceful ballad, " Scenes
of my youth," obtained an encore in which the entire
room took part. Disappointment was expressed that
this accomplished performer did not introduce a con-
certo, or a composition of length and importance.
which would have admitted of his introducing in a
more developed form some of those original effects
which have made the horn a new instrument in his
hands. Ernst played his fantasia on airs from 11
Pirata, a composition in which all the modern diffi-
culties of the violin seem to be brought together. But
even more than with his wonderful execution, which
sets mechanical puzzles at defiance, were the audience
charmed by the exquisite sentiment with which he
sang, played is not the word, the " Tu Vedrai," one
of the most passionate of the tender melodies of
Bellini. Owing to an accident happening to one of
the strings Ernst was obliged to omit the last varia-
tion of the fantasia, to the great disappointment of
the audience, who nevertheless applauded the great
violinist with enthusiasm as he left the orchestra. A
duet by Mr. Benedict, " Winter's Mirth," a plaintive
and characteristic melody, excellently sung by the
Misses Williams, who introduced an elaborate cadence
a due voce at the end, was one of the interesting vocal
features of the first part, which ended with the grace•
ful chorus " Who would stay ?" from Weber's
Oberon.

the series will be given. Ernst is to play his Rondo
Papageno ; Madame Viardot will sing in a selection
from the Prophete; Grisi and Mario in a selection
from the Huguenots, and all the principal artists will
appear. Mr. Benedict, on this occasion, is to hold
the conductor's baton.

HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA.
The following memorial, drawn up by Lord
Fitzwilliam, was in course of signature when the
late disastrous intelligence arrived from llungary ;
it would probably otherwise, in addition to the names
of those with whom it originated, have had appended
to it the signatures of many other Peers and Members
of Parliament :
" TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL, FIRST COMMISSIONER ( F THE
TREASURY, AND THE VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, PRINCI-
PAL SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
" The undersigned (being Peers or Members of the
House of Commons) desire to express to 3 our Lord-
ships, and through your Lordships to the rest of her
Majesty's confidential servants, the deep interest which
they take in the contest which is new carried on between
the Hungarian nation and the Emperor of Austria. It
is their anxious wish to see this contest speedily termi-
nated in the manner which they conceive most conducive
to the interests of the Austrian' empire—viz., by the
recognition of the just demands of Hungary, the most
important of the hereditary dominions of the House of
Hapsburg.
" The undersigned are of opinion that it is both the
interest and the duty of England to contribute, by every
legitimate means, to the tranquillity of Hungary. They
are of opinion, however, that this object, so desirable,
cannot be obtained so as to ensure its permanence, un-
less the terms on which it is accomplished be consistent
with the ancient laws and constitution of the country.
" While so many of the nations of Europe have en-
gaged in revolutionary movements, and have embarked
in'schemes of doubtful policy, and of still more doubt-
ful success, it is gratifying to the undersigned to be able
to 'assure your Lordships that the Hungarians demand
nothing but the recognition of ancient rights and the
stability and integrity of their ancient Constitution. To
your Lordships it cannot be unknown that that consti-
tution bears a striking resemblance to that of our own
country. King, Lords, and Commons are as vital parts
of the Hungarian as of the British Constitution. So
far, therefore, from the undersigned being animated by
a revolutionary spirit, or being actuated by principles
inconsistent with regular government and with the esta-
blished order of things, they beg to assure your Lord-
ships that it is with the view of maintaining regular
government, and of perpetuating institutions which,
though occasionally modified, have had an unbroken
series of existence since the foundation of the Hunga.
rims Monarchy, that they venture to invoke the inter-
ference of the British Goveinxe t
" They have witnessed with great alarm the applica-
tion of the Austrian Government for the assistance of
Russia. They conceive that this assistance will not be
granted upon terms consistent with the integrity of the
pxisting dominions of the House of Austria; their alarm,
however, is not confined to the apprehension that some
encroachments: may he made upon the present boundary
between the two empires. They apprehend that a
powirful intervention on the part of Russia, a state in
which the existence of a constitution is not acknow
ledged, cannot be effected without danger to the free in-
stitutions 'of the country in which it is invited to inter-
fere. They conceive that the military occupation of
Hungary by Russia must be necessarily subversive (for
the time) of all regular government, and they know not
what terms affecting the internal condition of the coun-
try may be ultimately imposed by a Power whose in-
tervention has been invited for the express purpose of
controlling a people which is struggling for the preser-
vation of long-established and undisputed rights. Tne
undersigned conceive that the essential character cf
Russian intervention must be to disregard rights which
the spirit of the Government of that empire does not
recognise; and that, if effectual, the intervention must
lead to the subversion of the ancient constitution of
Hungary, must destroy her prosperity, and endanger the
security of states in whose welfare and independence
Englitnd is deeply interested.
" It is to avoid this fatal result that the undersigned
feel impelled to intreat her Majesty's Government to use
such ineans as shall seem to them most effectual for pro-
ducing a reconciliation between the Emperor of Austria
and the people of Hungary, on the basis of those rights
which the Hungarians have never ceased to demand,
and the firmest attachment to which has hitherto been
foundlnot only to be compatible with, but to promote the
most fervent loyalty to the House of Hapsburg, and has
enabl them to render such services in the hour o
dange as never have emanated from the spirit of a sub.
fined or servile people.

PRINTED LINEN CAMBRIC.—From this new and
valuable development of the linen industry of Ireland,
the province of Ulster is likely to receive a great im-
petus, and the schools of design now opening under
the auspices of Lord Clarendon, a most wholesome
scope for the exercise of their artistic taste. Among the
many happy results arising out of her Most Gracious
Majesty's visit to Ireland, is the introduction of
this fabric into a new sphere. Her Majesty, on that
occasion, selected for her own wear, a few dresses of this
elegant material. And, doubtless, it is well worthy of
such distinguished taste. Nothing, perhaps, in use, so
combines delicacy and brilliancy of lustre as this ar-
ticle. It has intrinsic recommendations to secure its
extensive patronage. It is pleasing to feel—because a
large proportion of the value of those goods is created
by labour—that an increase of employment will thus
accrue to a country whose bane has been want of em-
ployment for an idle population. For the linen trade
now diverging into this additional channel must neces-
sarily outgrow its former limits, and eventually spread
itself over the entire country, imparting to the south
and west that prosperity by which Ulster is so distin-
guished.
PAYMASTERS' WARRANTS FOR CONVEYANCE OF
TROOP; BY RAILWAY.—PENSIONERS' CLOTHES —A no.
tificatiod has been made to the War-office, dated Aug.
24 instant, regulating the issuing of warrants for the
conveyance of troops and discharged soldiers by railway
or steam, by which it is ordered that when a regiment
or detachment, in charge of a commissioned or respon-
sible non-commissioned officer, shall proceed by railway,
no warrant shall be issued, nor will receipts for fare be
required, if it shall be evident the regiment or
detachment have proceeded, but when a detachment or
party is not in charge of a commissioned officer or re-
sponsible non-commissioned officer a warrant shall be
issued. For an individual soldier a warrant shall be
issued. All charges for railway fares are to be made by
the paymaster, into whose payment they shall be re-
ported, and the paymaster who shall issue the 20 or 25
days' pay, authorised by article 44 of the Royal war-
rant, shall give to each man a warrant for himself and
family, and may grant, where the whole journey is to
be performed by steam or railway, further warrants, in
order to bring the whole expense for the discharged man
into his accounts, and avoid reporting him to another
paymaster, the warrant to be made payable by the dis-
trict paymaster in London or Dublin, or at the terminus,
who are to recover the amount from the paymaster, by
whom the charge will be made. Men supplied wtth ra-
tions at the public expense will have deductions made
upon them, which will be credited to the public. With
regard to the clothes of enrolled pensioners, some mis
apprehension having arisen as to whether pensioners
may convert their uniform, to which they are entitled
after five years' service, into a plain suit, the staff offi-
cers of pensioners, we believe, have been informed that
no objection to their doing so will be entertained by the
Secretary at War, provided the staff officer satisfy him-
self by personal inspection that it has been so altered as
to divest it entirely of a military character, by which
means thereafter neither party will incur any responsi-
bility regarding it.
IMPROVEMENT OF SOUTH SIDE OF THAMES.--
Nothing but neglect seems the rule. It is believed
there are ample funds to proceed with proposed im-
provements, and in one instance the coal duties are
available. Tho south of the Thames is entitled to a
share positively provided for by Act of Parliament.
It is publicly stated that several new churches are to be
built, that sites are selected, and that ample funds can
be found. For drainage! that is put off !—for ever
and the truth is, that it would be a great favour to
leave all to the old management, for bad an it was called,
it was infinitely better than the present. It must shortly
come to this—that those who have been born and bred
in the southern localities must surrender their present
cernfortable homes, though humble, and go into lodg-
ings—that most of the Government payers will be lost,
the parochial rates greatly diminished, and taxes will
only be obtained by the authority of Somerset House
—a state of things that must arise if some energies are
not immediately put out to stem the impending ruin.
No district around the metropolis has been so cruelly
treated as the southern boroughs—the "elder sister of
London," as they used to be called—deserted, and be-
come a ruined heap.—Builder.
MELANCHOLY CASE OF DESTITUTION.-011 Tues-
day Mr. W. J. Payne, the deputy coroner, held an in-
quest at the Goldsmiths' Arms, Southwark Bridge-road,
on the body of a woman named Catherine Brooks, who
was found dead in her room.—William Farren, a police-
man, stated that he was called by a woman the previous
evening to No. 2, Union-street, Southwark, who stated
that there must be something the matter with the de-
ceased, as she had not been heard about for a consider-
able time. He proceeded to the room and found the door
fastened. He obtained a ladder and entered by the
window. On searching the room he found the deceased
sitting on the floor dressed; she had evidently been dead
many hours. Medical assistance was procured, and a
vein was opened, but without any beneficial results.
Saw no signs of vomiting or purging. There was not
an atom of food in the room. Dr. Farebrother had
made an external examination of the body. There had
been no violence, but the body was much emaciated.
There were the usual appearances of death from cholera.
—W. Brooks, the husband of the deceased, said he had
been married 42 years. Deceased was 64, and a stay
stitcher, but she could only earn a shilling a week at it,
though she worked from morning till night, and part of
Sundays. Her employers wished to cut her down to
6d. a week, but she declined, and had therefore done no
work lately. Deceased had an allowance of 2s. a week
from the parish. She had suffered much from privation,
ft,Cl, to his certain knowledge, she had not tasted animal
h?od for the last 12 months.—The jury returned a ver-
dict of " Died from cholera." It was stated that in
earlier life the witness, Brooks, had had an extensive
practice as a Chancery barrister ; but misfortune over
took him, and he is now an inmate of St. George's
Workhouse.

DOWNFALL OF HUNGARY.
(From the Dumfries ,Standard.)
A MAGYAR BALLAD.
By Duna's banks where stately Pesth looks o'er its
..-._ waters blue,
An anxious maiden sate and sang of her lover bold and
true ;
Her heart was warm, her hopes were strong, yet boding
fears the while
Came o'er her spirit like a cloud, and veil'd its sunny
smile ;
For Alfred fuught for fatherland, amid the crowds that
bore,
Above ,the battle's blood and crash the standard of
!Magyar.
For home, for freedom, and for her the gallant warrior
fought ;
" And when our country's free," she sang, " the only prize
he sought
Is this poor hand—would he were hero to claim it for
his own,
And chixse away those gloomy thoughts across my
spirit thrown !
Our emit: is strong and holy, yet I cannot help but dree
The cruel hordes which fight against my love and
Hungary.
"I know he cannot leave the war, while on his native
plains
One German churl or Cossack slave their virgin verdure
stein ;
That gro,s, alas 1 has oft been dyed
.with streams of
patriot blood,
But undiuraced the land remains, its children unsubdued;
My Alfred fights to keep it free—he must not quit the
field
Till Paskewitch and fierce Haynau before our Georgey
I could not wed a craven night, even though he wore a
crown
And pleaded love for me, who should his country's cause
disown,
Ah no! while war's wild thunders rage, and maidens
hearts alarm,
My hero's pulse must beat unquailed, and fight unfoiled
his arm.

Hungary.

The second part began with the overture to Guil-
laume Tell, capitally played; the band took the
mater out of the hands of the conductor, and executed
the final movement with perilous rapidity, arriving at
the end, however, without an accident. The encore
was general—an honour, by the way, which never
fails to attend an effective performance of this spark-
ling instrumental prelude, Madame Grisi's cavatina
"Io l'adia," from Donizetti's Torquato Tasso, bril-
liantly vocalized, was, of course, loudly applauded.
Charles Halle was announced to play the first concerto
of Mendelssohn, and a great treat was anticipated
from so fine a work executed by so accomplished a
piaclist ; but on touching the keys the pianoforte was
found to he nearly half a tone lower than the
orchet-tra. To attempt the concerto under there cir-
cumstances was out of the question. Not altogether
to disappoint the audience, however, M. llallii eat
down to the instrument and played two of the
Leider ohne Worte of Mendelssohn, the Volkslied in
A minor, and the Spring song, in A major, with that
intelligence and mechanical perfection for which
his talent is remarkable. This in some measure
compensated for the loss of the concerto, and M.
Halle retired amidst general applause. Among the
vocal rnorceaux in the second part the duet of Ninetta
and Pippo, " Deh pensa," from LaGazza Ladra, sung
with great feeling and unaffected purity of style by
Mademoiselle Corbari and her sister, Mademoiselle
L. Corbari, deserves special notice. The voices of the
two young ladies mix together very gratefully. Thl't
of Mademo!selle L. Corbari is a rich and powerful
contralto, with which assiduous cultivation and well.
directed study may do great things. The duet was
warmly applauded. Mademoiselle Jetty Treffz had
pepular
one solo during the evening, but this was her
refrain,
er
Liebeslied, with the " 'Prep,trep, trep, '
which met with the same reception here as it has
everywhere else, and was unanimously re-demanded.
The duet from the Gazza Ladra," Sapp' the un rio"
by Grisi and Alboni, was, of course, a great point of
interest; it was sung to perfection, and created the
usual enthusiasm. Madame Viardot gave two of her
delicious Spanish national airs, accompanying herself
on the pianoforte. These bagatelles are equally
characteristic and striking, and the piquant and
natural humour with which Madame Viardot invests
them renders their attraction irresistible. It is
hardly necessary to say that the "In segreto," from
Lucrezia, whiel Alboni sings in such dashing and bril-
liant style,:produced a furore, or that the Lesson
duet of Fioravanti, "Con pazienza sopporti arno,''
lost none of its fun and spirit in the, hands of such
executants as Grisi and Lablache. The terzetto (the
slow movement of the grand trio) from Guillaume
Tell, by Mario, Tagliafico, and Lablache was also a
very fine performance. Mario's voice in the tenor
solos told with thrilling effect. The concert ended
ith a beautiful chorus, or rather part song, to use
the composer's expression, of Mendelssohn's, " When
the West with evening glows," and 11, doer's splendid
overture, the Ruler of the Spirits, both of which
were executed in such a manner as to leave room for
nothing to censnre. The fault of this concert, as of
the first, was its inordinate length. Again midnight
had long passed before the last overture was over.
The system is radically bad; it fatigues the artists
and palls upon the taste of the audience, who would
be much more substantially gratified with at least an
hour less of music.
To-night the third and most attractive concert of

"But hush those fears; since yesternight the kind:),
vorspanu brought
Glad tidings from the patriot camp—how Alfred's atcut
arta smote
A standard•bearer in the field, and his black eagle tote;
And all our men like lions fought, till the tl/4,e were
stricken sore.
Now by our cause so good and true, and great St. Ste-
phen's crown,
And by the olden Magyar flag, that ne'er was beaten
down,
And by the love I bear to him, and the faith I owe to
Heaven,
I will not mourn his absence more, lest the ain be un-
forg yen.
I grudge him not; his country's claim is stronger far than
mine;
Upon its altar victim-vowed, ere pledged at true-love
shrine,
His fate is with our freedom bound—he fights for home
and me,
And my hope is strong that he'll soon return from the
wars of Hungary."

The lady's voice and fears were hush'd, her fainting heart
grew strong,
But as she rose to leave the banks whose stream had
heard her song,
It heard, woes me! another voice—'twas one of hopeless
wail,
And the patriot glow fled from her cheek till it turn'd as
lily pale:
" The fortunes of the war have changed—thrice beaten
in the field,
By famine press'd, by hope betray'd, our men were
forced to yield ;
The fell invaders sweep the land, and raise the exulting
boast,
O'er captive Georgey, Kossuth fled, and Magyar freedom
lost ! "
"But stay," the maiden said, " canst thou aught of my
Alfred tell? "---
" He died in harness, like a knight, for freedom fighting
well.".—
"Proud youth! for thy poor country slain,
in death
more dear to me 1"
And the damsel died with a smile for him and a sigh
for Hungary.
Dumfries, August 28. -

closed, others were left open. Mr. Watt gave a frightful
description of Spafields burial ground, where 80,000
bodies had been buried in a space by no means commen-
surate with that number. Resolutions, pledging the
society to renewed exertions to suppress intramural
burials, were, adopted; after which the meeting ad-
journed.

[PRICE 'SD.

Singapore gold dust, 192 sa, wt., Sa, Rs.per a. Wt.
THE IMPORT MARKET.— The favourhWe features we
were enabled to report under this head have contind,
.nd the week has been one of more activity thanue the
?receding. Operations in cotton piece go: ds have been
en a very satisfactory scale, and generally at steady
prices. Mule twist has likewise kept pace in the im-
provement, and operations have been above the average.
The same may be said of coloured yams. In the metal
market there is ,hardly any alteration ; sales base been
on the usual scale. Details will be found under the re-
spective beads further down.
THE MONEY MARKET.—WhiIe from time to t'ine we
are enabled to report changes, sometimes in one direc-
tion, sometimes in another, under every other head, this
matket continues to wear the same unchanging features
which have long characterised it. Supplies are abundant;
channels of investment few. The value of Government
securities is well maintained. The Bank of Bet gal has
declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum
on its operations for the past six months to close of June.
While such is the restelt of the working of a bank ',as-
sessed of exclusive advantages, the returnee ostensibly
mere handsome of other banks, without equsl advan-
tages, cannot but excite suspicion and doubts es to their
real position, even after allowance is made for the cramp-
ing effect of the rigid rules which have guided the
operations of the former. Bank shales, since the de-
claration of the 6 per cent. dividend, have undergone a
decline, and quotations are at present nominal. Shares
other joint-stock backs it is impossible to quote cor-
rectly.
Exchange—Operations in exchange have been on a
very moderate scale, and produce has been more gene-
rally availed of for the purpose of remittance. Our quo-
tations for the first class document bills are Is l 0 f to
Is 102 d per rupee at 6 months' sight.
Freights—Since our last the rates of homeward
freightage have fluctuated, and at present show no ma-
terial alterationfrom our last week's figures. The ten-
dency is upward, notwithstanding the numerous arrivals
of the past few days. The market is firm, and con-
signees are looking for higher rates.
Indigo—Some little business has been dune by native
dealers at full rates, and we expect the last remaining
lot has been placed.
POMXAY, JULY 24.--Our money market continues
extremely easy, and capitalists have difficulty in finding
profitable
,means of investment. We expect, however,
as the season advances, to see money less plentiful.—la
Bank Shares there has been very little doing at the quo-
tations given elsewhere. The Bombay and Commercial
Banks have just declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per
cent. per annum.
Piece Goods—A very considerable amount of busi-
ness in piece goods has been effected dutieg the month,
and the stocks of grey madapollains, shirtings, and jac-
conets, are therefore just now very small; which is also
the case as regards bleached jacconets and skirtings. In
moat cases previous prices were obtained; a slight de-
cline having, however, been experienced on that f,:r gr, y
tuadapollams of the coarser makes. A brisk demand
exists for grey jacconets, and forty and forty- five inch
shirtings, up to the middling qualities, while her the
lower kinds of the latter a reduction in price to a small
amount has taken place. Coarse madapollams continue
depressed, and little sought after, while for the middling
sorts a moderate inquiry is made. For the better kinds
a considerable demand again exists. Bleachei twilled
cloth, shirtings, and jacconets are readily saleable, at
good prices, and are in demand. A few lots of domes-
tics and longcloths in the grey have been disposed o'.
The stocks of nearly all kinds of grey and bleached
goods are very low, as are also those of dyed goods.
Prints, Turkey red, are iu a little better inquiry than
formerly. Twill is scarcely inquired after; while for
plain cloth the demand is active at advanced prices,
especially 28 yard pieces of 23 inch width. Fancy
goods remain as at last report. No transaction in them
have been reported during the month.
Cotton Yarn--For nearly all descriptions of cotton
yarn a good demand has existed, but without any
material change in price for No. 20 and 30 water, and
30, 50, and 60 mule, the former of which has slightly
improved, while the latter has somewhat receded. No,
40 mule has advanced in price, while No 20 rt mains
uninquired after. Dyed Yarn—Turkey red is extremely
dull of sale, while orange is in demand.
Ball Thread-3,0001b. Nos. 20 to 60, have been dis-
posed of at 13a. per pound.
Woollens—No business in any kind of woollen cloths
has been reported. Stocks continue light. The scarcity
of flannels of all descriptions continues.
Metals—Considerable sales in copper and iron have
been made during the month, and the demand for ell
kinds is active. A sale of spelter has taken place at
Rs. 11 per cwt., at which holders are unwillieg to sell.
Of tin plates the market is bare.
Red Lead—Of this article 200 cwt. have been sold at
Rs. 15 per ca t.
White Lead —lOO cwt, have been sold at Rs. 14
per cwt,

• Cochineal-3,6001b5. at Us. 2.1121- annas, and .5,50011 m.
at Rs. 2-10 i annas per lb., have been sold since our last.
Large Storks exist in the market.
Crown Glass-700 boxes of sizos varying from 6by 4
to 24 by 20, have been sold at Rs. 10i per 100 feet ;
and 300 ditto, 4by6to6by 8, at 9.
Leinetta —Eight cases Lemetta, half gold and half
siller, have been disposed of at Rs. 2.4 i annas per
corge..

Marine Stores—Spirits of turpentine and oil of lin-
seed are in demand. Paints and cordage dull. 01 can-
vas, bleached and unbleached, there is little at market,
and they are in demand.
Saffron—No sales have been reported in this article,
which is in request, the stock in the place being com-
paratively small.
Spirits—But little inquiry has been made for brandy,
and the demand for gin Las been limited.
Beer—The only sales we have heard of are-40 hhds.
Allsopp's, at rs. 623, and 100 Bass's, at rs. 55, which
we quote as the rates of the day.
Exports—Cotton Wool—As will be seen by the list
given below, extensive sales have beer, made in this
staple since the 24th ult. The prices realised have been
in general lower by from rs. 2 to 3 than those obtained
last month ; and it is expected they will recede still
further, owing to the unfavourable accounts received
from China a few days since of the market there for
this article.

Opium—Owing to the favourable prospects of a good
crop next season in Italwa, and the depressing accounts
last to hand from China of the price there fur the drug,
the market has here become dull. Previous to Saturday
last it had been steady throughout the month. The
stork now in Bombay amounts to upwards of 2,000
chests. Our quotations of 1,375 rs. to 1,425 r,. per
chest is merely nominal, as a e have not lAtdy heard of
any sales.

Freights—Rafes of freight have been very steady
during the past fortnight, and engagements have been
made to Liverpool at N. ss. to 31. is. 6d. To London
we quote 3/. ss. to 31. 12s. 6d. as the ruling rates; and to
China rs. 1 to rs. 12 per candy.
Exchange—China Bills have been selling at Is. lOid.
to Is. 10 9-16 d. six months' sight, at the former of which
rates the Oriental Bank has also been drawing. Thu
rate has a downward tendency.
