CORK, SEPT. 7.—We have to report another week of
quiet trade. Our market still continua devoid _of life,
and the business doing in all kinds of grain is very re-
stricted. We have very little alteration to notice in the
price of wheat, but its value, owing to the bad condi•
lion in which the article arrives to market has rather
receded than otherwise. In prepared wheat the business
doing, is on the most restricted scale at the rates of last
week. A few barrels of new barley have appeared at
market. Its condition however was soft, and the price
obtained low in consequence. The bere arriving is taken
readily at late rates. Oats fully support late prices, and
find ready purchamers thereat; but their condition, like
that of the other descriptions of grain, has been much
affected by the late heavy rains. We have to report the
continuance of a quiet trade in flour, which still meets
only a consumptive sale at lato prices. Indian corn ap-
pears almost totally neglected, and, if we except a sale
made at auction, we have ba I only the veriest retail
trade in the article. Indian meal meets no inquiry.
Potatoes continue in:abundant supply, and, except in vcrY
rare cases, are excellent in quality, free from disease, and
far superior to whet a month or • two since our fears
es to the result of the rumoured blight led us to hope for.

TESTIMONIAL TO GENERAL LORD GOUGIL—W6
are, generally speaking, averse to testimonials being
presented to great men on their retiring from office, and
we have, not uafreq•aently, opposed them in these columns.
But, if ever there was an exception to be made, it is
fitting to make it in favour of the gallant old veteran
who is about to take his departure from these shores.
He leaves us an ill-used man—one who was prematurely
pushed from his stool to allay a panic in the wind of
the British public. With that reason let his last crown'
ing victory bear ample witness. Lord Gough leaves
this country as the most hospitable and kind-hearted
person that ever occupied so high a position. His hos-
pitality and kindness have not been by fits and starts
is often the case). They have been uniform from the
commencement of his career to the close, and in making
those subject to his command happy at his board he hag
ever been cheerfully assisted by Lady Gough, who will
long be remembered for her unaffected good nature and
anxiety to promote the social interest of all around her.
No Commander-in-Chief—no public functionary in the
world—ever excelled Lord Gough in good feeling and
choral worth. A soldier from his boyhood to the present
hour, he has carried the frank" and unpretending roan;
ners of the camp into the society he has moved in; and
without laying claim to " those soft parts of conversation
which chamberers have," he has contrived to attach
unto him all those with whom he has come in contact.
What may be Lord Gough's personal wishes on the pro'
sent occasion we haveno means of judging, but we imagoe
the desire of so large a body of officers who shared bl 5
dangers (during three campaigns—two of them of 00
trifling character) to do him honour on his departure
cannot be distasteful, or other than gratifying.—Meerut
Mofussulite.

GALWAY, SEPT. s.—The unfortunate man Ger.
mack, who was convicted at the last assizes for the
murder of Miss Prendergast, suffered the extreme
penalty of the law in front of our county prison on lee/
Monday. At ten minutes to three o'clock the unfor-
tunate man, supported by the Rev. Mr. Commins, the
Rev. Mr. Kearney, and preceded by one of the turn-
keys, walked from the chapel to the check, where he.
shook hands with the governor and all the officers et
the prison. He here embraced his sister, who wee
loud in her lamentations, and then walked up to the
press room, where all knelt in prayer. When pinioned/
the criminal rose and moved to the front of the drop, e°"
the Rev. Mr. Commins, at his instance, then addressed
a few words to the crowd. He said, "Good people, this
unfortunate man has requested me to declare to you the'
be is about to suffer justly for the awful crime he corn'
milted. He acknowledges his guilt, and declares that
no other person was present at the commission of the
murder but himself." The hangman adjusted the rope
about his neck, the bolt was drawn, and he died install.'
taneously and without a struggle.
THE DOUBTFUL ROCK NINETY MILES EAST or
MALTA.—The surveying expedition under the command
of Sir James Sterling, dispatched from Malta by Vice-
Admiral Sir William Parker, in the Oberon, Rosamond,
and Spitfire, on the 21st of August, to seek for this
hidden danger, whose existence has been as often con'
tradicted as affirmed, but on which a few months ago
the Earl of Auckland screw steamer was supposed to
have touched, returned on the 28th, after having for.
several successive days, and during the prevalence et
calm weather, run up the parallels in which it has been
reported to exist, and carefully swept and dragged tor
it without success. No soundings were to be met with.
under 3lp fathoms, and we think we may now pretty
confidently affirm that no such rock exists. Indeed,
experienced men who saw the Earl of Auckland in (1014
confidently stated their disbelief of the captain's state-
went. This vessel must no doubt have run against some
wreck, or received the damage whilst laying at anchor
in the Bosphorus, where it is no unusual thing for voe•
eels to be carried right over their anchors and chains
by the force of the current.
FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, between
four and five o'clock, a wherry, containing Mr. J-13rY.:
den, of 91, Bagnigge-wells-road, his wife (daughter
Mr. Laidlaw, Lambeth-walk), and two young riem,.,ll
who had acted as bridesmaids (the parties having env
been married that morning), was proceeding up the river
towards Putney—T. Laidlaw, brother to the bride, havteg
the management of the boat—when about midway be-
tween Battersea and Wandsworth it came across the
mooring-chain of a barge which was then at anchor
the females in alarm rose from their seats, and instantly
the boat overturned, and the whole party was immersed
in the water. The people on board the barge succeeded
in rescuing Mr. Bryden and ono of the females ; young
Laidlaw saved himself by clinging to the mooring•chain;
unfortunately the bride, and Mary Ashdown, one of the
bridesmaids, sunk and were drowned. Drags were used,
but the bodies were not recovered for some hours.

THE MIIRDER OF THE HENRICHSONS.— aptAill
Henrichson, husband of Mrs. Henrichson and father 01
her children, who were barborously murdered by
Gleeson Wilson, in Liverpool, about six months since,
arrived in the Mersey on Sunday morning, at ttio
o'clock, in the ship Duncan, from Calcutta, of which
he was the commander. The unfortunate gentleman ally
an account of the murder in a newspaper at St. Helena'
on the llth of July. On landing he was conveyed to
his house, in Leveson-street, where the dreadful crimes
were perpetrated. The murderer Wilson will be eve
cuted on Saturday next, at noon.
The Memorial Bordelais of Tuesday announces
the death, at Bordeaux, of M. Ravey, one of the repre-
sentatives of the department of the Gironde, and a re-
spected member of the moderate party. lie was in 1111

[covEnTrsEmENT.] —Unprecedented Cure by Hol-
loway's Pills—Thomas Symonds (formerly of Chatbafil
Duckylrd), residing in Grave Mane, Southwark, had been
unable to do his work for three years ; his lungs were sup'
posed to be effected, having a distressing cough, with fee'
and legs swelling, besides which he could scarcely ever ke9P,
anything on his stomach, and was generally so weak and
as to barely have power to stand ; yet in three months this
poor man acquired almost a new constitution by taking
Holloway's Pills, and has now become so thoroughly strong
and wolf as to be able to undertake the laborious duties of 3
carpenter on board a vessel about sailing to New South.
Wales.—These invaluable pills are sold at Professor
way's establishment, 244, strand, London ; and by 411
dealers in medicine.
