MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market have been on a fair average scale, yet the:show
of samples here to-day was small. For all descriptions
of both red and white the demand was in a very dull
state, at barely the late reduction in the quotations.
The imports of Foreign Wheat have been very mode-
rate. Selected parcels were mostly held at late figures,
but the middling and inferior kinds were somewhat easier
to purchase. No English Barley at market, but the
show of Foreign was good. The trade ruled heavy,
and prices were with difficulty supported. There was
scarcely any inquiry for Malt, and prices remained al-
most nominal. Liberal imports of Foreign Oats have
again taken place; hence the trade was in a very dull
state, and the inferior samples were a shade lower.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were neglected.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7,1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoie, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair's much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to'the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I I s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afo w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mare it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pear ten or twelve drops
on the frown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplieations. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.
Allletters addressed to William Grimstone, Herbary, Ifiabgate.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on offer in to-
day's market was by no means so large as that exhi-
bited on Friday last, the Beef trade, owing to the hot
weather, was in a very sluggish state, and, in some in-
stance, the quotations had a downward tendency; very
few Scots produced more than 4s per 81bs. With foreign
stock we were well supplied, and the arrival from Scat-
land consisted of 294 Scots in excellent condition. The
numbers of Sheep were somewhat extensive, even the
time of year considered ; yet the Mutton trade was firm,
at full rates of currency. Prime old Downs sold at 5s
per 81bs. There was a better inquiry for prime Lambs,
but the middling and inferior breeds commanded very
little attention. Calves, the supply of which was im-
mense, moved of heavily, at barely late rates. Figs were
very dull, but not cheaper. Mitch Cows sold at from
151 to 181 each, including their small calves.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was ac-
tive, and closed firmly. Sales, 7,000 bales. Railway
Shares improved considerably, and a good business was
done.
A correspondence has been published relative to the
use of the French language in Canada, and it is satisfac-
tory to find that, as the feeling in Canada is so decidedly
in favour of allowing the combined use of the French
and English languages as a means of attaching the nu-
merous parties who speak the former, a Bill has been
presented by Earl Grey to repeal the previous re •
strictions. A report made by the grand jury
of Montreal within the last two months is
particularly satisfactory. It expressed the conviction
of the parties signing, and who are of both French and
English origin, that the country will continue to enjoy
the blessings of tranquillity, although the states of Eu-
rope have been convulsed by revolutions, and that this
peace is due to the form of government, and the wisdom
of the men appointed to represent the Sovereign.
The accounts from Germany are favourable to-day,
but from Paris they are still unsatisfactory.
The public sales of Colonial Wool have been progres-
sing better within the last two days, and the biddings at
the Indigo auctions are likely to improve, as the accounts
from the manufacturing districts are better. Generally
money is more wanted in commercial circles.
The beautiful weather causes the Grain trade to rule
dull here.
The Funds are still rising, and the settlement of the
account is all in favour of the Bulls, a proof of the
enormous extent to which the opposing party must have
carried on their operations. A. small failure has oc-
curred in the house. Consols are 87i to 87i for trans-
fer, and for the 10th of August. Exchequer-bills of
March are 455., and India Bonds 275. premium. Bank
Stock has been 193 to 1941, and India Stock has
touched 237 and 240. The New Three. and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 871 to 88, and the Three per
Cents. 871 to 88.
The Foreign Securities have been heavy. Spanish
Five per Cents., 114 to 12. Mexican &aids are at 17
to I. Danish Stock is firm at 70. Dutch Two-and-a-
Hoff per Cents. are 44k to 45i.
Railway Shares have been looking very good, but not
much is doing.
