Europe and the United States liberal supplies of wheat,,
Indian corn, and flour have reached us. The exports in.
the same tune are light. The weather was fine up to.
Sunday night, but we have since had a good deal of rain.
There has been a fair consumptive demand for wheat and.
flour at last Tuesday's prices; fine brands of the latter
brought 23s to 23s 6d per 1961 b, but infericr qualities of
new could be obtained at 183 to 19; per 1961 b. Oats:
and oatmeal slow sale, at prices rather in favour of
buyers. Sack flour met with a moderate retail inquiry
at late rates. In Indian corn, with the exception of a
few purchases to hold over at from 25s to 263 por 4801 b
for fine yellow, little has been done. Barley, beans,
and peas neglected. At this day's market there was
a good attendance of the trade. A moderate de-
mand was experienced for fine parcels of wheat at the
prices of Tuesday last, but inferior descriptions were
quite unsaleable, at a decline of 2d por 701 b. Several
cargoes of newly arrived Baltic wheat of fine quality
found buyers at 6s 7d per 701 b for red, and 7s 5d per
70ib for white Flour of approved brands supported
previous rates, but inferior qualities could be bought on
rather easier terms. Sack flour slow sale, at prices
ranging from 32s to 35s 6 1 per 2801 b. The demand for
Indian corn was very limited at former rates. Oats and
oatmeal neglected, at a reduction of ld per 451 b, and 10
to 6d per 2101 b, on both old and new. In other articles
very little passing, and prices nominally the same as
last quoted. New Irish wheat very variable in quality*,
and mostly in bad condition, and may be quoted 53 to
5s 6d per 701 b. New oats, 2s 4d to 2s 7d per 451 b ; and
new oatmeal 23a to 23s 6d per 2301 b.
LEEDS, SEPT. 11.—We have a moderate arrival of
wheat to-day. Old wheat is is per quarter, and new
wheat is to 2s per quarter lower than last week ; At
this decline there is a good demand, and there appears
more business doing than for some time past. Oats and
beans are rather low. We did not hear of any new'
barley offering to-day.

RULES IN RAISING POULTRY.

1. All young chickens, ducks, and turkeys, should
be kept under cover, out of the weather, during rainy
seasons.

2. Twice or thrice a wee!: pepper, shallots, shivest
or garlic, should be mixed up with their food.
3. A small lump of assafcetida should be placed in
the pan in which their water is given them to drink.
4. Whenever they manifest disease by the drooping
of the wings or any other outward sign of ill-health.
little assfcetida, broken into small lumps, should he
mixed with their food.

5. Chickens which are kept from the dunghill while
young seldom have the gapes; therefore it should be
the object of those who have the charge of them so to
confine the hens as to preclude their young from the
range of barn or stable lards.
6. Should any of the chickens have the gapes mi%
up small portions of assaftida, rhubarb, and peppers
in fresh butter, and give each chicken as much of the
mixture as will lie upon one-half the bowl of a small
teaspcon. _

7. For the pip the following treatment is judicious
Take off the indurated covering on the point of the
tongue, and give twice a day, for two or three days►
a piece of garlic the size of a pea. If garlic cannot
be obtained onion, shallot, or shives will answer ; but
if neither of these be convenient, two grains of black
pepper to be given in fresh butter will answer.
8. For the snuffles the same remedies as for the
gapes will be found highly curative, but in addition
to them it will be necessary to melt a little assafostida
in fresh butter, and rub the chicken about the nostrils,
taking care to clean them out.
9. Grown up ducks are sometimes taken off rapidly
by convulsions; in such cases four drops of rhubarb
and four grains of cayenne pepper, mixed in fresh
butter, should be administered. Last year we lost
several by this disease, and this year the same spur
toms manifested themselves among them ; but vire
arrested the malady without losing a single duck, by
a dose of the above medicine, to such as were ill. One
of the ducks was at the time paralysed, but was ewe
saved.—Canterbury Journal.

COLLISION IN TUE CHANNEL.—MILFORD, SETT' 8'
—lntelligence has just been received here of a veil
serious collision having occurred in the Channel between
her Majesty's steamer Salamander and a coasting sloop
called the Lamb, Mr. Jones master, which ended in !I-
latter immediately foundering, and the somewhat nurs7;
culous escape of all on board. It appears that in
course of Thursday the Salamander left Plymouth for
Pembroke, in charge of Mr. Davey, supernumerary
master of the Impregnable, with Mr. Henderson, InaP
ter-attendant of Devonport Dockyard, and a party
riggers on board, for the purpose of navigating the 00f
tavia round to Plymouth or Portsmoth. About tbree
o'clock in the afternoon, however, the Black Head, near
Falmouth, bearing N.E. by N., eight miles distant,
and the Lizard N.W. by W., the sloop was seen,
standing on a starboard tack towards shore, beatite;
to windward. There was a stiff breeze blowing
by N., and a heavy sea on. The crew of the sloop
say they saw the steamer approaching, and anticipstig
mischief from her course, they hallooed to her to
neared to alter her helm. Whether their cries were
heard has not transpired. Suffice it to say, however'
that the Salamander continued her course and speed'
and came in fearful collision with the Lamb on the star-
board bow, cutting her down below the water's edge;
With such a terrible injury not a moment was to be for
in getting clear of the wreck and rescuing the hands p}lboard. Ropes were lowered down the sides of
steamer for the crew to seize hold of, and after some ul
ficulty all the poor fellows were rescued. In a few 10;
ments the vessel having filled heeled over and went duws,
in deep water, the crew losing everything but the d,re
they had on. The Lamb, we understand, belong on
fr
Portmadoc, and was on a voyage to Portsmouth (w
Portdinorwick. The unfortunate event will, of course'
form the subject of strict inquiry.
THE O'CoNNEnns.—On Tuesday Mr. Maurice
--
O'Connell, the first-born of the late Liberator, arrived 1D
his yacht in the Suir. He was accompanied by his bra:
:her "Dan." They promenaded our quays for sow'
time on Tuesday, accompanied by a young gentlemalh.
probably a nephew or relative, and passed along withont
a cheer or scarcely a recrgnition by any of the serfs who
kissed the dust at the footstool; of their father.— Walero
