Come, venerable musket, come,
And have a song. from me;
For certainly I owe a sum
Of gratitude to thee.
Thou and myself for years have been
Companions of the field,
Where oft thy shooting powers were seen,
And mine alike revealed.
How often have I lifted up
Thy barrel and thy stock,
While Master Dash, sagacious pup,
Has marked some hen or cock.

G U N.

And now, once more, respected piece,
Thou'lt act with Dash's snout,
For leaves are scarce, and summer's lease
Is very nearly out.

My shooting coat, from ➢I. ar.d Son,
Is ready for the sport,
A*d such an admirable one
Of Mimes have I bought.
As long as thou hast marked In air
The children of the wing,
I've never had the luck to wear
A better sort of thing.

Moses and Son may well be sought
By every sporting Don,
When such prime garments may be bought,
As that which I have on.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states the
weather has been fine during the past wear, and harvest
operations active. The trade generally dull, with ar-
rivals moderate, but fully up to demand. Our farmers
brought a moderate supply of wheat to-day, being for
the most part busy in the fields: we note no alteration
in the value of tine old English; some samples of new
were shown, neither quality or condition up to whlt
was c xpeckil—prices asked were from 455 to 48s. In
foreign the sale only slow. All spring corn is dull, and
the buyer obtains the turn. Linseed quiet; cakes easier
to buy. No transactions in rapeseed, and but few rapo
cakes on the market.

LIVERPOOL, Ann. 28.—There was a fair attendance
of town and country millers at our Corn Exchange this
morning. Wheat and flour met a moderate demand for
consumption at a reduction on the rates of last Tuesday
of 2cl to 3d per bushel on the former, and 6,1 per barrel
and is per sack on flour. Oats also declined ld per
bushel, and oatmeal Gd per load. The quotations for
barley, beans, and peas, stand unaltered, and the demand
sluggish. Indian corn was 6d per quarter higher than
on this day so'nnight ; the Irish demand is small, but
several purchases have been made to hold over, and fair
quantities continue to be taken for cattle feed. A few
parcels of Irish new oats were sold at 2s Gd to 2s 7id per
451b5., the quality middling, Irish new oatmeal sold at
25s to 26s per 2401b5. Several samples of new red wheat
wero shown by tho neighbouring farmers, the quali!y
and condition good, and the sales made more at Gs 6d
to 6,9 d per 701bs.
LEEDS, AuG. 28.—Our arrivals of grain are moderate.
Weather continues as fine as possible for the harvest.
Prices for wheat tend downwards, and we quote them
is below Friday. Oats and shelling as before, and beans
stertdy; fine English are scarce ; other articles without
