.he latest quotations for United States Treasury
Notes, Six per Cent., was 103 k; Pennsylvanian Fives,
73:1, asking price.
771 t is gratifying to announce that Messrs. Pillot
and Le Barbier, a highly-respectable French banking.
house which went down in the storm of the French
Revolution, have paid all their liabilities, and show a
large surplus remaining. Messrs. Fox and Living-
ston, engaged in the Havre trade, who suspended pay-
ment at the same period, are also paying in full all
claims agiinst them.
Breadstuffs—The immediate effect of the Europa's
news was to depress prices of grain generally, and to
render the market inactive, compared to what it had
been during the preceding fortnight. Flour, wheat,
at.d Indian corn, were at once quoted lower, though
the latter article appears to have been relatively more
depressed after the steamer's arrival. There had
been quite an absence of a speculathP demand. The
home inquiry continued good, but shippers appeared
to be holding off for further news, which, was ex-
pected in three or four days by the Acadia. The
receipts of all descriptions of produce continued
large. It also had a tendency to prevent a rally in
prices, and when the next ,deices from Great Britain
were received, another reduction would, no doubt,
ensue. On the day of the departure of the snail the
market was inactive, and but few transactions took
place. The following were the quotations at the
close :—Western Canal flour, 5 dolls 87kc to 5 dolls
99c; wheat, prime G-enessee, 1 doll 34c to 1 doll 36e.
Indian corn Northern—Bound yellow, 68e to 70c;
ditto, flat yellow, 6.5 c ; ditto, Southern white, 63c ;
Indian meal brought 3 dolls 12kc per barrel.
In the New York cotton market, the news from

Great Britain by the Europa of an improved feeling
in the manufacturing districts, was considered favour-
able to holders. A good average amount of business
had been doing, and the quotations were slightly ad-
vanced as below.

bales fair uplands, closing at 7c.

at 103 d.

Provisions—The pork market assumed a firmer
aspect to-day, and holders realized an advance of 12fci
per barrel. Operations add up 1,000 barrels at 12
dolls 87ic to 13 dolls for mess, and 9 dolls 94c;
10 dolls for prime, closing steady. In beef there is
not much dDing, and the market is firm. Lard is not

INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISHMENTS
FOR DISCHARGED PRISONERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Your readers will remember that at a recent
meeting of the Middlesex magistrates, Mr. Armstrong
moved for a committee to consider the propriety of, and
best mode for 'establishing, a ♦oluntary House of In.-
dustry, where discharged prisoners, who have completed
their term of imprisonment, may find employment ;
which motion was negatived by a small majority. Lest
the utterance of an opinion, that discharged prisoners
were incapable of reformation, should have biased the
minds of any present against the principle of the motion,
or should be calculated to act prejudicially on the bene-
volent efforts of many who are endeavouring to stem the
torrent of immorality and vice, allow me, from practical
experience, to state—for the information of Sir Peter
Laurie, and the others of the Bench—that there is an
Industrial School in daily operation within a quarter of
a mile of the worthy Alderman's residence, where the
process of reformation is being successfully carried out.
This establishment is in Henry-passage, Brook-street,
New-road, where some of the most depraved and aban-
doned characters, whom prison discipline had failed to
correct (some having been imprisoned 10 and 14 times),
have been received; and since their reception not one of
these youths has troubled the police, or darkened the
magistrates' office•door.

Many striking instances of the beneficial effects could
be mentioned, if time and space would permi!. Let this
suffice. One of the lads, about a week ago, purchased a
Bible, and begged permission (which was granted) to go
to the Mil'bank Prison, to present it, with a word of
advice, to one of his former associates, who is about to
be transported. Does not this speak volumes in favour
of Industrial Schools, proving they are not visionary and
absurd, and that prevention is the better cure?
I am, Sir, &c.,

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Desperate Wound in the
Th►gh Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract
of a Letter from Mr. J. S. Munday, farmer, residing at
Kennington near Oxford dated March 31,1848. To Pro-
fessor Holloway:—Sir, Having received a wonderful
cure by the application of your Ointment to a dreadful
wound in my thigh, and from which I had long suffered,
I feel it my duty to acknowledge the speedy and extra-
ordinary effects produced by your valuable Ointment
and Pills in my own case, having previously used several
other remedies without success. I have also had vari-
ous other opportunities of witnessing the beneficial
results attending their use among my labourers. Sold
by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244. Strand, Loadon.

HERRING TRADE.—WICK, SEPT. 21. E---There is
considerble activity at present manifested at the quays of
Pulteneytown Harbour, in the shipment of herrings. In
the early part of the season few cargoes were entered
for foreign ports, in consequence of the Danish blockade,
now, however, the greater number of vessels are loading
for the Baltic. Four are taking on board cargoes for
Ireland, where the general price may be quoted at 225.,
with a slow demand. Last advices from Stettin were of
a similar tone with those received immediately previous.
The dispute between Denmark and Prussia, although de.
finitely settled, so far as the leading parties are concerned,
is not by any means a settled question, and the folly of
the Frankfort Assembly may keep it doubtful for some
time.—John 0' Groat Journal.

On Tuesday last, two men employed at the
Coquet-viaduct, on the Newcastle and Berwick Railway
were killed, whilst conveying stones along the moveable
crane; one of them was killed on the spot, and the other
was so much injured that he did not long survive.

TRIAL OF THOMSON FOR AN ATTEMPT ON THE
LIFE OF MR. GRAY, TOWN CLERK OF GREENOCK.--k
consequence of a medical certificate from Dr. Mackie,
Mr. Gray's family physician, stating that his patient's
life would be endangered by his appearance at the late
Glasgow circuit, to give evidence, the trial of Thomson
was postponed sine die. Mr. Gray has got rather worse
of late, caused, we believe, by inflammation. The ori-
fices of both wounds are yet open, and a portion of the
shattered bone is making its way to one of these open-
ings. Until that fragment comes away Mr. Gray cannot
be restored to health. It is most probable that the
trial will take place before the High Court of Justi-
ciary at Edinburgh, as soon as the state of Mr. Gray's
health will permit of his attendance.—Glasgow Paper.
