LAYS OF THE SCOT rlsti CAVALIERS,

By WILLIAM E. AYTOUN,
Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Edinburgh.
"The Ballads of PrJfess,r Aytoun have the life-like reality of the
old pictures, and much of the warmth and fulness of their colouring.
They take up an inspiriting event, narrate it, and by the mere force
of the narrative excite in you ennobling passion and a love of human
greatness, together with deep sympathy in its sufferings. Such Is
the aim and scope of ballad poetry Such lines fix
themselves in the memory as the first-loved melodies of childhood.
We have read them with great enjoyment, and now heartily thank
the author for his delightful volume : the prose notes and illustra-
tions of which are as interesting as the ♦erse is admirable." —The

LIBRARY EDITION of ALISON'S EUROPE,
Publishing in NI mthly Volumes.
A New Edition, in Bvo of

THE HISTORY OF EUROPE.
By ARCHIBALD ALFON, LL.D., F.R.S.E.
. . .

This edition is printed in decoy Byo., with a new and elegant pica
type, on superfine paper, and i club, ilished with Portraits.
one Hundred Copies have been printed in royal Bvo., with Proof
Impressions of the Portraits, uniform with which an edition of the
Atlas is issued.

Vols. 1., 11., and 111. are published, containing Portraits of Louis
XVI., Maria Antoinette, Mirabeau, Danton, Marat, Robespierre,
and Edmund Burke.

" Iwo or three ohvions facts are, no doubt, closely connected with
the remarkable success of the History of Europe.' It is the only
substantial work tha, we have with reference to all the period and
all the important events of which it treats ; it deals with a section
of history in which every living man is almost personally interested ;
it grapples with questions whose solution hasyet to be recorded ; and
it comes before a generation astounded by the din and confusion of a
dozen political and sacial rovelutions. explaining the causes and de-
fining the mixed results of one fearful revolution m Melt, in some
respects, may be regarded as the father of them all. . . .
We can honestly recommend the present edition, in all respects, if
such recommendation be needed at all by a publication which con-
trives to take such admirable care of itself."—The Times, May 31.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ASCOT RACES AND THE LA
DIES.—On the drive, the ride, or the promenade, ladies
should ever be provided with Rowland's Kalydor which
will be found gratefully refreshing to the comp'lexion
dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying'
all irritability and heat, and immediately affording the
Pleasing sensation attendant on restored elasticity and
healthful state of the skin. Freckles, tan, spots, pimples,
and discolorations fly before the application of the Ka-
lydor, and give place to a healthy smoothness and trans •
carency of complexion. In cases of sunburn, or stings
of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. As
a protector and restorer of the hair, Rowland's Macassar
Oil will be found alike efficacious, guarding it from the
injurious operation of the sun and dust. It is highl)
necessary, on purchasing, to see that the word " Row-
land's" precedes the name of the article on the wrapper
of each, as spurious imitations are abroad.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—An Extraordinary Case of a
Bilious Attack, of Indigestion, and Flatulency cured by Hollo-
way's Pills.—Khairatee Khan, a native merchant of Patna, in
the East Indies, suffered for years from bile, indigestion, and
flatulency, and although he consulted the most eminent sur-
geons of the province, yet he derived no benefit from their
treatment, but gradually became more debilitated. Having
one day a severer attack than usual of these dreaded maladies,
he determined to try Holloway's Pills, and this fine medicine,
which has obtained such high repute throughout the world,
very soon reinstated him in perfect health; and in gratitude
for the benefit he desires this wonderful cure to be made
public.— Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand, Louden,.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, JUNE 5.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :
The weather during the past week has been most beautiful, and
vegetation makes rapid progress throughout this district, every-
thing presenting a most luxuriant appearance. Business con-
tinues very inanimate, with only moderate supplies of all arti-
cles. At to•day's market wheat (foreign) of fine quality was
scarce, the little in granary not being at present offered for
sale ; only a modera`e supply of English wheat, which met free
sale at Is over last week's prices, and farmers generally asked
much more money. Very little business passing in malting
barley, but grinding is in fair request. Other descriptions of
spring corn are neglected. No arrivals of linseed, and but
little passing in landed parcels. More business has been done
in cakes during the week at late prices. Bones are saleable at
our quotations.

tion, by extending the Elective Franchise so as to include
all householders, by enacting that votes shall be taken by

divided :

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TUZSD.tY.
The general excellence of the racing advertised for the
first day, and the interest attached more particularly to the
three leading events, i. e., the Queen's Vase, the Triennial,
and Ascot Stakes, would have been quite enough to secure
the attendance of the sporting classes; and, under any cir-
cumstances, the presence of the Court would have attracted
a large and fashionable assemblage. Coining, however, so
shortly after the recent outrage, the promised visit of her
'Majesty was looked forward to with more than ordinary
anxiety; and thonsailds, who might otherwise have reserved
themselves for the Cup or " grand " day, availed themselves
of so favourable an opportunity of testifying their loyalty
and attachment. For the gratification of this feeling ample
facilities were offered. In addition to the long-established
route by the Great Western to Slough, the South-Western
Company provided special trains from the Waterloo-
bridge Station to Staines and Datchett, where numerous
well-appointed conveyances were provided to carry pas-
sengers on, either through Egham and Englefield-green, or
Windsor.

By the diversion of the traffic which necessarily arose
from this competition, much of the confusion which we have
so often witnessed in Windsor was prevented, and the journey
was rendered shorter and less fatiguing than of old ; of course
the town suffered from it to some extent; the inhabitants
must have anticipated that such would be the case, for on no
other ground can we account for the Windsor Town Plate
having realised the contemptible sum of 35/.
The racing yesterday was announced to take place at ono
o'clock, by which hour the appearance of the course abun-
dantly indicated that the combined attractions of the royal
visit and a great day's sport were appreciated; a more nu-
merous or a better class of company has not often been seen
on a first day, even at this favourite resort of the aristocracy.
All were on the qui wive for the arrival of her Majesty;
unfortunately a tremendous thunderstorm came on shortly
before the royal liveries were visible in the distance, and
the enclosure at the grand stand and the course were
cleared as if by magic. The rain ceased shortly after her
Majesty's arrived at the Royal Stand, but it completely
damped those loyal effusions which fine weather, it would
seem, are necessary to elicit. The royal cortege consisted of
five carriages and four, the char a bane, and a pony phaeton..
In the carriage with the Queen were their Royal High-
nesses Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent, and Prince
Henry of the Netherlands; in the next, his Serene High-
ness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimer, the Duke of Norfolk,
and the Duchess of Sutherland. In addition to these illus-
trious and distinguished personages, we noticed the Dukes
of Rutland and Wellington, his Excellency Count Schimmel-
penninck, the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane, the
Marquis of Abercorn, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Clanricarde and Lady Emily de Burgh, the Marquis and
Marchioness of Worcester, Lord Fortescue, Lord Listowell,
Lady Canning, Vice-Admiral Lucas, Lieutenant-Colonel
Pigot, Honourable Colonel Phipps, Colonel Bouverie, Mr.
Ormsby Gore, Colonel Wylde, &c., &c. We should state
that all the royal carriages were open, and that umbrellas
were brought into requisition to shelter their occupants from
the rain ; even his Royal Highness Prince Albert was com-
pelled to resort to one for the protection of her Majesty,
during her progress up the course.
The bell rang for saddling immediately after the Queen's
arrival, and the rain having ceased, the sports pro-
ceeded without any impediment to their full enjoy-
ment. The Queen's departure took place after the
Ascot Derby, amidst cheering that must have convinced
her Majesty that the absence of those demonstrations,
which have marked her presence upon all previous visits,
did not proceed from any want of loyalty or regard. The
racing, which was protracted until a late hour, realised
all that could have been anticipated; a better, or a more in-
teresting day's sport, has rarely been. witnessed. Of the
eight. events brought to a decision the three already men-
tioned, as forming the chief attractions of the list, alone call
for any observation. The race for the Queen's Vase was a
surprise in more respects than one. Cossack came into the
betting at the eleventh hour, and at one moment was actually
first favourite. The race, however, resulted in favour of the
fielders, the cracks being bowled over by an animal of whom
no mention was made in the betting. The Triennial Stakes
was another agreeable surprise to the professionals, Hotspur,
who did not look by any means fit, Elthiron, in short, all the
favourites, succumbing to a horse who, although he ran
Elthiron to a head for it last year, was in scarcely any favour
this, the "second time of asking." The Ascot Stakes, with
which the interest of the racing terminated, fell to the lot of
the Duke of Richmond, with the same animal that won it
last year. The other races do not call for any remarks be-
y, nd what we have appended to the return. Business com-
menced shortly after one o'clock with—

nine took the second place at the Swinley Mile Post, there
was no material change in the order of running until they
came to the last turn, where Vampyre and Essedarius, who

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday the 4th, the Incumbered Estates
(Ireland) Bill was read a third time, and passed. I have
noted on e firmer cccasion the prospect there was, that
the kucce,s of this Bill would open the road to improve-
ments in the titles to landed property throughout the
empire. _ . .

In the Committee on Supply, opposition was made to
a grant of 1,6951., which, if not the precise thing deno-
minated Reg ium Donum, was of the same nature; being,
as was extracted on inquiry, divided among upwards of
a thousand persons purporting to be Dissenting minis
tern, in sums consequently averaging about thirty shil-
-1 lings each, end without any list being kept or required
of the recipients, on the ground that it might be wound-
ing to their feelings that their names should be known.
Last year a-stout opposition was made by the mass of
the Dissenting body, through petitions and otherwise, to
the continuance of this most unkind benevolence. But
this year they appear to have been mute, or with such
small exception as to be inconsiderable. A friend of
theirs stated, in conversation along the benches, that
they did not want to keep up a perpetual outcry, and
were keeping silence that words might accumulate. I
must take leave to doubt the goodness of this policy.
Whenever the accumulated remonstrances appear,
the ready intimation from the enemy will be, that
they are the result of an artificial agitation, the proof
being, that there were none before. The tirailleur sys-
tem is better than that of vollies, for a warfare of this
nature. It is the same that was practised against the
Unjust Judge, and acts by a continual dropping, rather
than any attempt to wash away the stone at once. It is
impossible that on the present occasion, the muster of
the Dissenters' friends should not have been weakened
for want of orders; so the grant was finally passed with
a majority of 52 against 33.
The Clergy Relief Bill as amended in Committee, is
printed, and so far as I can judge, is purged of the
" white sheet" and other objectionable matter. There
is perhaps a little unnecessary tonguing over, of the word
" Deprivation." But tho decaying giant must be in-
dulged in his growl. The Bill as amended stands for
consideration on the 13th.

On Tuesday Mr. flume made his motion to bring in a
Bill for Extension of the Suffrage, Voting by Ballot,
Shortening the duration of Parliaments, and diminishing
the inequality in the Electoral Divisions. The question
was not altogether fortunate in its mode of introduction;
for it is not policy to begin by representing the sup-
porters of a measure as entirely at variance among
themselves, nor to place a Government in the position of
enemies, by assuming their hostility before they have had
time to declare themselves. Under these circumstances
there is perhaps some excuse for the manner in which the
Government replied ; but that will not prevent the con-
sequences which probably will ensue. It is not unlikely
that the declaration of this night, will be quoted as
having produced the same effect as the well-known de-
claration of a Noble Duke against Reform in an earlier
stage. A consummation not to be lamented in the end;
though regret may be inevitable, that the end could not
have been obtained by other means.
The old eighty seem to appear faithfully upon the
scene ; the motion having been negatived by 268
against 82.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

IRELA ND.
THE STATE PRISONERS.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—This afternoon a
deputation, consisting of the Lord Mayor, the Mayors of
Cork, Waterford, and Limerick, and several clergymen,
Roman Catholic and Protestant, Mr. Butt, Q C., &c.,
proceeded,: by appointment to the Vice-Regal Lodge, to
lay before the Lord Lieutenant memorials on behalf of
the state prisoners.
The result of the interview cannot transpire until long
after post hour, but the nature of the answer may be
guessed from the fact of the prison authorities having re-
ceived orders to hold the prisoners in readiness for em-
barkation this evening.
Mr. Gavan Duffy and several other friends took leave
of Mr. O'Brien this morning.
A deputation from one of the Dublin Relief Com-
mittes is about to visit London forthwith.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LADY BLESSINGTON.—OUT
Paris correspondent, in his letter dated Monday, five in the
afternoon, announces this distressing event as follows:—" We
have all been much shocked this afternoon by the sudden
death of Lsdy Blessington. Her Ladyship dined yesterday
with the Duchess de Granunont, and returned home late in
her usual health and spirits. In the course of this morning
she felt unwell, and her homoeopathic medical adviser, Dr.
S men, was sent for. After a short consultation the doctor
announced that his patient was dying of apoplexy, and his
prediction was unhappily verified but too rapidly, as her
Ladyship expired in his arms about an hour and a half ago.
Poor Lady Blessington ! She was loved and admired by all
who had the happy privilege of knowing her, and of joining
in those social circles of the worthy and the wise who congre-
gated around her hospitable board. It was but the day be-
fore yesterday that she got into her new house in the Rue de
Cercle, where her delightful reunions were eagerly looked
for as an oasis in this republican desert, where the few good
and great men who yet linger in this distracted country
hoped to find a brief respite from the turmoil of party strife.
It was but last week that Lady Blessington was dining at
the Elysee, and remarked to Prince Louis Napoleon with
how much pleasure she looked forward to her residence in
Paris, and now Mors sofa fatetur quantula sunt hominum
corpuscula. Every one will attribute this sad occurrence to
cholera, but Lady Blessington died of apoplexy. Cholera
has had enough laid to its charge, and even now at the pre-
sent moment it has affected poor Carlotta Grisi, who is
seriously ill, but it is hoped that she may recover, as she is
better than she was last night. Last night it killed ten
Deputies and Madam Vi.conti. Poor Lord Wallscourt was
carried off rapidly last week, as he did not send for advice
in time. Lady Normanby is also very unwell, and is going
to Chantilly to-morrow, to escape from the intolerable heat
whin is now raging.—Morning Post.
Two FIRES AT LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—Yester-
day morning a fire broke out in the Farnham Castle Tavern,
29, Little Trinity-lane, City, the property of Mr. Joseph
Kitchin. It appears that about an hour after the occupants
had retired to rest, the police-constable on the beat per-
ceived an unusual glare of light in the bar, and at once
raised an alarm. Upon the inmates coming down stairs
they found the lockers in front of the bar, containing fire-
wood, oil, and turpentine, in a body of flame, the heat from
which had melted the liquor-pips, and about twenty gal-
lons of spirits escaping, also became ignited. The initiates,
with the assistance of the brigade, succeeded in confining the
flames to that portion of the premises in which they origi-
nated. About the same hour a fire occurred upon the pre-
mises of Mr. E. Hall, known as the George Tavern, Gravel-
lane, Southwark. It commenced in the flooring of the
skittle-ground, but the damage done was trifling.
STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER.-00 account of
Whitsuntide holidays there was but little business trans-
acted during the whole of last week. The market, however,
presented its usual scene of activity yesterday. There was a
good attendance on Change, and a decidedly firm feeling
prevailed. Yarns were more inquired for, and most sales
were effected at quite as high a rate, and in some cases at a
higher rate than last week. Buyers for the Indian and
Chinese markets were very active, and a better trade than is
usual for this season is being carried on in all descriptions of
light fabrics. Domestics and heavy goods are not so de-
pressed as they have been for some time past. The advance
in the lighter materials suited to the Indian markets was
yesterday very considerable, and there is a prevailing im-
pression that trade with that market and with China is
likely to be considerable.
Tisa RIVER PLATE.—By the arrival of the packet
we have received advices from Monte Video to the 22d
March. They bring no political news, except a contradic-
tion of the report that Admiral Lepredour had signed a
convention with Roses. He was still at Buenos Ayres.
The half yearly meeting of the Grand Junction
Canal Company was held yesterday, at which a dividend
was declared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, leaving a
surplus of 2,3031. to be carried to the reserve fund. The re-
port stated that the experiment adopted by the company in
becoming carriers continued to yield satisfactory results. In
July last they carried 2,126 tons, the receipts in connexion
with which were 2,9381., while in March the number of tons
had risen to 9,930, and the receipts to 11,0871. It was also
added that the competition between the North-Western
Railway Company and the Canal had, "by recent arrange-
ment, been confined within legitimate bounds."
THE WEATHER. —During yesterday morning the
weather was intensely hot, the thermometer rising to up-
wards of eighty in the shade, with clear bright sunshine, up
to half-past two r.m., when suddenly the sky become over-
cast, and the metropolis was visited by a heavy shower of
hail. Some of the hailstones were of an immense: size.
few claps of thunder were heard at the same time, followed
by a slight shower of rain, when the weather cleared up, and
i
the day became again perfectly fine. In proof of the violence
of the storm, the following fact may be stated. As.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

to 10,000 bales, including 4,000 on speculation and ex-
port. 'I he transactions consisted of 9,000 American at
3id. to 6p.. 200 Bahia at 44d to sd, 100 Egyptian at
Sid. to 6d, 700 Surat at 3d. to 3d., and 40 Sea Island at.
9d. to I Id. per lb. The market was animated, and
American sorts were P. per lb. higher.—ln Railway
Shares a fair business was done, and in some instances
higher prices were paid. The market closed firmly.
The arrivals of Grain reported at Mark-I%lle to-day
comprise 1,970 qrs. of Foreign Wheat, and 11,400 qrs.
of Oats.
There are conflicting opinions concerning the future
course of the grain trade, as well as other branches
affecting our agriculturists, and without adopting the
opinions of others, we may usefully give some remarks
by a practical party, who states that—
" Beef is likely to advance further as we get along
the summer, for the supplies will be found short about
August; but mutton will be plentiful, which may
check the rise in beef. Lean bullocks will not get cheap
enough, fur we can't get supplies enough in Norfolk.
The system of grazing has aliered, for all the Midland
and northern breeding districts used to send their pro-
duce lean into the grazing districts, but latterly these
breeding counties have found out that tbey can grow
equally good beet and turnips, and fatten bullocks equally
well with the Norfolk and Suffolk men, and now they
send away only the cattle which they do not need for
themselves, and as they keep the best, it is but seldom
we see such well bred cattle here as we used, unless
some enterprising men go to the breeding districts and
buy for themselves. Sheep, on the contrary, we grow
plenty of. and some as tine, pure, and good, as anywhere
in England." _ _

It ID satisfactory to find in the American letters
delivered yesterday afternoon, that the prospects of trade
in the United States are encouraging; but at Montreal
business was dull in Flour and most other articles. The
business of the Welland canal this year exceeds that of
previous years; a good deal of American craft, biking
advantage of the route to reach Albany, via., Oswego.
The number of passengers advised, as being on the
voyage out to Quebec from England and Ireland,
was 8,550. It is a matttr of complaint that
the mercantile classes in British North America have no
share in the Government, and have had none for twenty
years, and a remodelling of the franchise is imperatively
tor. We were certainly gratified, in attending yester-
day, a meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of British
North America, to find that the profits of the past
year were 51,8001., after allowing for all bad and doubt-
ful debts; that a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per
annum was declared, and that the directors anticipated
some improvement in the trade of the colony.
Under date of March 28, from Valparaiso, we have
the follJwing :
" The arrivals of registry tonnage in the aggregate
falls short this month in comparison with that of the
preceding one, by about 12,000 tons, there having en-
tered only 8,486 tons in all, of which 834 are British;
namely, about 400 with coal, 400 in transit for Europe,
and none with assorted cargoes, about 2,000 tons United
States, chiefly whalers and transports, with provisions,
for California, and one assorted cargo, only 3,200 tons
Chilian coasters, 632 tons Peruvian, and about 1,900 tons
of Danish and other continental flags. All these latter
have found for the most part ready t mployment at former
good rates on this coast, but chiefly for San Fran-
cisco, to which destination about 5,000 tons have
sailed, comprising what was reported last month as
being on the berth loading. Most of the vessels which
were left unchattered at the departure of the last
steamer, both in this and in Coquimbo bay (say about
3,000 tons), have successively been taken up for carry-
ing guano, principally, and saltpetre, and copper ores,
partially, to ports in England direct. There are still
about 1,200 tons, of various flags, loading to sail shortly
tor California. Generally speaking, there is a slight
tendency towards rise in freight rates, which will be de-
termined by the greater or lesser number of anise's be-
fore the sailing of this steamer ; of British there
remain about 600 tons in this bay fur charter, and about
600 tons of continental flags. Bar silver having accu-
mulated for want of purchasers, it not having any other
destination but that of simply being exported in bars,
and the Copiapo mines continuing abundant, has fallen
to dollars 9.7 marck. There are orders for purchasing
guano (Chilian) at limited prices; but holders thereof
prefer sending it to Europe on their own account at our
actual low rates, rather than sell it at the current price
of 14 dollars the ton on board. Exchanges London,

Mexican accounts of May 1, via tte United States,
mention that Paredes had none of the white population
with him.

The Money Market in London is in a very easy state,
but there is fair employment in many branches of trade
for surplus funds. In sugar and other articles of foreign
and colonial growth there has been more activity, and
the manufacturing districts must need a greater circula-
tion of cash. Still there is nothing to indicate the least
tightening in the rates of discount for the present.
The English Funds have been flatter this morning, as
the advance of yesterday has induced the realisation of
profits by many who bought in at lower prices, and the
Paris Bourse has exhibited weakness again. Whether
the President's message will be of a nature to dissipate
further uneasiness, time must show. Consuls have rea-

The RAlway Share Market does not support the
recent advance, but neither, on the other hand, has it
entirely lost the rise. Eastern Counties are higher,
and a chairman of good standing is amid to have been
secured. About the appointment of directors there is a
difficulty, however, and one or two members of the com-
mittee have shown themselves nut a little arrog,ut and
ambitious. Iu dismissing one set of dirt ctors, the share-
holders must be careful not to replace them by another
in which too many members are personally contacted
with each other.
