THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, Nov 17.—The transactions at our Corn-
Exchange 3 esterday were quite of a retail character.
The demand for wheat is confined to our own locality,
and all sorts wore ld per bushel lower than on Tuesday.
Flour was not considered any cheaper, but Irish manu-
facture is hard to move. Fine mealing oats were scarce,
and quite as dear. There was no quotable change in the
value :,of any other article of the trade. Indian corn is
still depressed, the business being limited to a few trifling
orders from Ireland. The trade is inanimate to-day, and
no change in prices.

MONTROSE, Nov. 16.—There was a good demand to-
day for grain, but prices not higher. Wheat, 621bs, 40s
to 425; barley, 53 ditto, 20s; oats, 40 ditto, 15s per
quarter. Oatmeal, per boll, of 1401bs, lls 6d to 12s.
Potatoes, per boll, of 5 cwt., cups, lOs; regents, 121.
CORK, Nov. 16.—We continue to have rather exten-
sive arrivals of foreign grain, which consist almost alto-
gether of maize, producing a further depression in that
article. The receipts of home grain are good, the
amount for the week being—wheat, 2,296 brls, at 16s to
22s per brl; barley, 4,015 brls, at 8s to lis 9d per brl;
oats, 6,973 brls, at 7s to 9s 4d per brl. The samples of
wheat arriving at taken at the prices of last week. In
prepared and foreign wheat we have had little business,
holders being by no means willing to lower their preten-
sions, while purchasers are desirous of buying on cheaper
terms. Prime malting and grinding barley is looked for,
and sells readily at full prices, but inferior samples are a
slow sale at late rates. In prepared barley we have no
business passing. The value of oats is firmly main-
tained, and the stands are readily cleared at fully the
rates of last week. In prepared oats the transactions
that have taken place are very few and restricted.
Holders aro firm, and demand the extreme quotations of
la.t week, namely 9s per barrel, while buyers seek to
purchase on better terms. We question, however, if
the article can be had at a lower figure. We have little
alteration in the trade in flour. Old and approved
brands, as well us those of foreign mixed flour, are' in
fair demand at last week's prices; but new Irish is neg-
lected and almost unsaleable. Indian corn continues to
meet a very dull sale, while its value has again given
way, the extreme quotation for the article this week
being 61 7s 61 per ton, a decline of about 2s 6d from the
prices of last week. Indian meal, and indeed all
other descriptions of meal, are completely neglected.

a Liver and Stomach Complaint by Holloway's Pills.— Extract
of a letter from Mr. Harvey, of Chapel Hall, Airdrie, dated
June 15, 1849. "To Professor Holloway. Sir,--Your valu-
able pills have been the means, with God's blessing, of restor-
ing me to perfect health. I had suffered for two years with
severe liver and stomach complaint, and was given up as in-
curable by several eminent doctors, my case appearing so hope-
less that my death was daily expected. In this critical state I
commenced taking your Pills, which I continued for a few
weeks, and they have so effectually cured me that I now enjoy
the best of health."—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor

rrHE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
ikigo. 8, LUDGATE-HILL. THE BEST-THE CHEAPEST.

The question is often debated, Where is the best market to buy the
necessaries of life? among the more important of which may be
enumerated tea, coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as
is sure to be the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to
decide v 6 hat c onstitutes cheapness.
Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and
price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficulty
in judging its 'value by appearance, and families, to secure -good
qualities, are frequently Induced to pay extravagant prices. Why
should this be? The importations for several years have been re-
markably large, comprising unusually fine selections ; the markets
have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantagea
arising therefrom.

And It is also proposed by the said intenfied Act to make further
provision for the recovery of all or any rates, charges, expenses, or
other moneys authorised to be levied, made, charged, or received by
the said Commissioners, and tor the regulation of or otherwise in
relation to all or any of the ferries, markets, parks, cemeteries,
wharves, cranes, or other property, matters, or things, belonging to
the Commissioners, and for the regulation of hackney carriages,
drivers, porters, and others, within the said district, and tsr the
making and enforcing of bye-laws in relation to all or any of the
Matters aforesaid.

—lnti-itVaISO proposed by the said intended Act to authorise the
Commissioners and Francis Richard Price, Esq., and his trusters, to
Make and carry into effect certain arrangements for more effectually
Vesting in the Commissioners the Woodside Ferry and certain lands
contracted to be purchased by the Commissioners acting in the exe-
cution of the said recited Acts; and t..) raise a sum of money, by the
creation of bonds or mortgages, for paying the consideration moneys
for the purchase of the said ferry and lands, and to make such bonds
or mortgages a first charge on the said ferry, and the property be-
longing thereto or connected therewith, and the boats and vessels
used or employed by the Commissioners in relation thereto, aid on
the tolls receivable in respect thereof; and also to enable the said
Commissioners to make a portion of the said purchase moneys a first
charge upon other lands of the said Commissioners.
"jt it is also proposed by the said intended Act to make
..ertain provisions touching the bond or mortgage debt of the
;6uttnissioners, and to regulate and (if need be) to alter the
Pt; privileges, priorities, and securities of the bendholders
(' Mortgagees, and to authorise the bondholders or mortgagees
Purchase land from the Commissioners, and to surrender their
nit. or mortgagees in lien of payment of money as the considers-
-12.04 for the purchase of such land, and to make further provision for
Uablicg the Commissioners to acquire and hold lands, and to sell or
dispose of all or any of the lands vested in or belonging to them.
r, And it is also proposed by the said intended Act to enable the
;.•_r°ttlrnissioners to raise for all or any of the purposes aforesaid a
thkr stem of money, and to apply and appropriate such parts of
',lie rates, assessments, tolls, rents, property, and revenue of the
of au as they shall think flt, for or towards the execution
011 or any of the purposes hereinbefore mentioned ;* and also to
t"''PnWer the Commissioners to make, assess, levy, and receive all
o any of
the rates, assessments, tolls, or charges now receivabie by
the r
Commissioners acting in the execution of the said recited Acts,
"IQ to alter or vary such rates, assessments, tolls, and charges, or
some of them, and to confer, vary, or extinguish exemptions from
0 Payment thereof, and other rights and privileges.

From which you soli should buy;
And none can justly make a mock
Of such a prime supply.

Like costly suits of law.

Will suit you to a T;
Then purchase one for Christmas time,

Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they preyed very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know bow to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICHAEL NASMYTH."

For Christmas parties you'll require
Superior kind of dress—
Dress nothing short of that attire,
Which comes from M. and S.
May the brief hints which thus I drop
Bring Moses fresh recruits;
Since Moses' Warehouse ranks the top
In selling Christmas suite.

THE MURDER. IN, MILBANK
PRISON.
John Francis, who.stands charged with the cold-
blooded murder of Thomas Hall, one of the warders,
underwent a very lengthened examination before Mr.
Burrell, one of the Westminster police-court magis-
-1 trates, at the Milbank prison, on Saturday, the only
4, persons present being the magistrate and clerk, Mr.
Hay ward, from the Treasury, and Captain Groves,
governor of the gaol at the time of his entrance.
c* The prisoner was brought in closely guarded by
two -turnkeys. He exhibited throughout the same
o callousness as on the occasion of the coroner's inquest.
127 He listened without the slightest emotion to the horri-
i G 9
t 69 ble details of this cold- blooded tragedy, and with
- much cunning carefully avoided, in his questions to
the witnesses, the slightest allusion to th:t portion of
;heir testimony affecting him, but wasted considerable
time in putting, as before, frivolous and irrelevant
questions. IHe is a man about five feet five inches in
height, does not develop much muscular power, al-
though well knit:, and is of the Jewish persuasion.
The offence which originally consigned him to this
gaol was a larceny, after previous conviction for a
similar offence. He was furnished with pens, ink, and
paper, and took notes of the proceedings.
The witnesses who had severally given their
evi-
dence before the coroner's jury having been sworn,
repeated their statements in almost the same words,
nor did the frequent interruptions or questions of
the prisoner go a step further than before to show
any motive for the commission of the dreadful crime
upon an inoffensive mull, in whom kindness seems to
have been a leading characteristic.
The witness Westbury, an elderly convict, who
appeared to be a man of some feeling, was so ex-
cited by a recapitulation of the words he had heard
uttered and the part he had seen of this fearful tra-
gedy, that he exclaimed, with tears running down
his face, "It was a sight I shall never forget; to be
within view of a man being murdered, and not to be
able to help him, in dreadful indeed; to be fastened up
and know that such a thing is going on, is more
thin a man can bear. If I had been loose my poor
strength could have been of very little service, still
would willingly have tried to save him."
Upon the depositions being completed and read
over,

Mr. Burrell, in the usual form, asked the prisoner
whether he wished to say anything ? Prisoner—l
have only two requests : the one is that I may be
furnished with copies of the depositions; and the
other is that I may be sent to Newgate and have a
fair trial.
Having been informed that he could have copies
upon the usual terms,
Mr. Burrell observed, that his warrant would com-
mit him to Newgate.
Prisoner—l have been in irons all the time I have
been removed from ray ward.
Mr. Burrell—l have nothing whatever to do with
that.

Prisoner—The session commences on Monday
week. I know I shall get no justice here.
Captain Groves remarked that there had been
every desire evinced on his part to treat the prisoner
with the utmost fairness. He had communicated
with the persons named by the prisoner as his friends,
but none of them had interested themselves is his
behalf.

Prisoner—l ought to have been sent away from
here after the coron.m.'s inquest. I was told I should
be taken before a magistrate. The laws of my country
sayjustice shall be done.

Mr. Burrell—And there is no doubt it will.
The prisoner was then removed, muttering into.
herent sentences.

Captain Groves observed that he should be very
glad to get rid of him, as he really could not afford to
have two men constantly placed over him; and from
the desperate character of the prisoner, he was afraid,
after what had happened, if he were to attempt another
act of the same description, something serious might
result.

Mr. Burrell observed, that the prisoner appeared
very mindful of the slightest thing affecting his own
interest, although he did not exhibit the slightest
emotion at the dreadful details given by the witnesses.
[ There appears to be some legal difficulty with re-
spect to the removal of a convict, or the prisoner would
doubtless have been sent to Newgate upon the coro•
ner's warrant. The difficulty, it is understood, has
been overcome by some other instrument, and the pri-
soner was taken to Newgate in the course of the after-
noon in a cab.]

STATE OF TRADE....-.I3IRMINGIIAM, SATURDAY.--
The manufacturers of this town are generally pretty
well employed, although, as is always the case in Bir-
mingham, where its trades are so various, in some
branches there is little doing. It must be recollected,

trade is represented to be flit as compared with the
promises held out at quarter-day. Orders for the home
market come in tardily, and one or two furnaces have
been put out of blast.

DOWNING STREET GOSSIP.—Mr. R. Carter has
been appointed Treasurer of Newfoundland; Mr. C.
Bayley, Colonial Secretary at Mauritius; Mr. C. Lake,
stipendiary magistrate at Jamaic I. The following ap-
pointments were made on Saturday by the Lords of the
Admiralty:—H. A. llollinworth, lieutenant, to the In-
defatigable; P. A. St. Leger, commander, to study steam
at Woolwich. Letters which reached town on Saturday
from Lord Lincoln represent the Noble Eatl's health as
considerably improved by his marine excursion. As at
present arranged, his Lordship will not return to Eng-
land until after the meeting of Parliament. We are
happy to learn that the Duke of Newcastle, whose serious
indisposition we announced last week, is fast recovering.
Owing to the lamented illness of Earl Fortescue (Lord
Steward of her Majesty's Household) his Lordship has
been advised to pass the winter in the Mediterranean.
His son, the lion. Member for Barnstaple, accompanies
the Noble Earl, and we have authority to state that the
Queen has been graciously pleased to approve of Via-
count Ebrington acting as vice-lieutenant for the county
during his noble father's absence. A rumour, which
received general credence, prevailed on Saturday in
Westminster Hall, and afterwards in the clubs, of
the decease of Lord Denman. We are happy
to have it in our power to state that there is no truth in
this report of an event which, whenever it may occur,
will be universally deplored on personal and national
grounds. We were informed on Saturday night at the
town residence of Lord Denman, that the accounts
received during the week from Stoney Middleton re-
presented his Lordship to be steadily improving in
health, and that letters written with his own hand had
been received on Friday. There is no foundation for the
rumour of Mr. R. D. Browne's death. The Hon. Member
was lately confined to his chamber for some days by an
attack of influenza, but is now convalescent. Mr. Cobden
is making arrangements for attending a series of meet-
ings among his constituents in the West Riding. The
Post-office authorities are now engaged in negotiating
with the American Government an arrangement for
better regulating the accounts upon the international
correspondence between this country and the United
States. The suggestions, which have emanated from the
authorities here, are directed to obviate the present
tedious and inconvenient system of making up and
taxing the American correspondence at Liverpool. It
is proposed that either office should account to the other
for the weight of letters by the gross, and not by the
individual letter. This system has been adopted with
reference to the French and English mails, and the
result has been highly satisfactory.—Weekly Chronicle.
ALARMING FIRE AT CAMDEN-TOWN.—DISCOVERY
OF AN ILLICIT STlLL.—Yesterday morning, about three
o'clock, the premises, 6, King's-place, Camden town,
were discovered to be on fire. An instant alarm was
given and messengers were sent for the engines. In a
very brief period the parish and London Brigade engines
arrived, when the firemen found that the flames had
commenced in a loft over the coach-house, and had ex-
tended into another similar building over the stabling.
With assistance the flames were extinguished, when it
was ascertained that one part of the premises where the
fire had fallen into was used as a private still, and had
no doubt been so engaged for some time past, the owners
of which, upon hearing the alarm of fire given, succeeded
in making their escape before the police came up. The
whole plant was immediately seized by theauthorities.No ono in the neighbourhood had the least idea of illicit
distillation being carried on in the premises. The build-
ing was insured in the Phoenix Fire-office.

It was an appointment which, though it presented to
his mind grave and important duties to be discharged
through such remainder of his life as it might please
God to give him, afforded at the same time the purest
and most independent scope for the honourable exer-
cise of those duties; and it also provided for such
exercise, if pursued with singleness and uprightness
of mind, the reward of that respect and honour in
which the Judges of England are held beyond
those of any other country upon earth.—(Cheers.)

METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS or SE WERS.--
On Friday the Commissioners held a Fe, eral court tor
the purpose of laying a rate of 80. in the pound for
the half year on the Surrey and Kent districts. Two
letters of objection to the rate were read. by the secre-
tary —the first from Mr. Charles Bow, found, d on the
small amount of work done in his neighbourhood, from
which a portion of the rate was to be raised. This
objection the Commissioners agreed. in -regarding as
unfounded. The second letter was from Mr. Henry
Thomas, of St. George's-road. It complained in strong
terms that little had been done by the Commissioners in
that vicinity, and particularly that an open sewer which
had been :ending forth pestilential vapours for the; ; ;
forty years had not been closed up. The letter iurther
complained that sums of money collected in one dis-
trict were expended in others. This letter was also
decided to be more in the nature of a complaint than of
a valid Objection to the rate. The secretary then read
a memorial from Henry Edgington and eight other
inhabitants of Bermondsey, objecting to the rate, on the
ground that it would be unequal in its collection, Ber-
mondsey being rated upon a rack-rent basis, while Lam-
beth, with which they were in partnership, had adopted
a far lower assessment. The Commissioners on this
held that the rate was imposed according to the terms
of the Act of Parliament, and that it there was any
hardship felt it lay with, the parishes themselves to
remove it, by facilitating an uniform rating. The
objection having been overruled, the rate was signed by
!he requisite number of Commissioners, and having been
formally declared and published, the Court adjourned.
