It is gratifying to announce that _Messrs. Pillot
and Le Barbier, a highly-respectable French banking-
house which went down in the storni,ef the,_FTench
Revolution, have paid all their liabiatits, and show a
large siirplus remaining.. Messrs. FO.x.,,eati Living-
ston, engaged in the Havre trade, who suspended pay-
ment:at the same period, are also paykg in full all
claims- against them.
Breadstuffs—The immediate effect of the Europa's
news was to depress prices of grain gtnt,rally, and to
reinler:the market inactive, compared to what it had
been during the preceding fortnight, Flour, wheat,
,and 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 speculative 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 Aeadia. ,The
receipts of all descriptions of Prodiice continued
large. It also had a tendency- to prevent,a rally in
prices, and when the next advices from Great Britain
were- received, another reduction. would, no doubt,
ensue. On the day of the departure of the snail the
aiark'et was inactive, and but few transactions took
place. • The following were the quotations at the
close :—Western Canal flour, 5 dolls 87ic to 5 dolls
99c; wheat prime Genessee, 1 doll 34c to 1 doll 36e.
Indian corn Northern—Round y'ellow, 68e to 70c;
ditto; .flat yellew, 65c; ditto, Southern white, 63c;
Indian meal brought 3 dolls 12k-c per barrel.
In the New York cotton market, the news from
Great Britain by the Europa of an improved feeling
in the ,ruanufqeturing_ districts, was considered fainur-
able to holders. A good average amount of business
had beep doing, and the quotations were slightly ad-
vanced as below.

INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISHMENTS

FOR DISCHARGED PRISONERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sut,—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 voluntary 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 permit. Let this
suffice. One of the lads, about a week ago, purchased a
Bible, and begged permission (which was granted) to go
to the Millbank Prison, to present it, witL 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
Thigh Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract
of a Letter from Mr. J. S. !Sunday, 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, London.

HERRING TRADE.—WICK, SEPT. 21.—There is
oonsiderble 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 2'25.,
with a slow demand. Last advices from Stettin were of
a similar tone.with those received immediately previous.
The dispute between Denmark and Prussia,tithough 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.—./011ir CY Groat Journal.

On Tuesday last, two men employed at the
Coquet-viaduct, on the Newcastle and Bern ick Railway
were kale, 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 TIIE
LIFE OF MR. GRAY, TOWN CLERK OF GREENOCIp—In
consequence of a medical certificate from 1)r. Mackie,
Mr. Gray's family physician, stating that his patient's
life would be endangered by hia appearance at the late
Glasgow circuit, to give evidence, the trial of Thomson
was postpone4l 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
I health will permit of his attendance.—Glasgow Paper.
