rage of the halt-crown days. The police returns up to

The thermometer was in the course of the day from
72 to 74.

Her Majmsty has bean pleased to relax her usual rule
of not receiving pre.ents trom her subjects iu the case of
Mr. Joseph Harrison, of Blackburn, machinist, who has
presented her with two calico pieces woven on the looms
extobited by him, which are upon the first principle,
and are propelled at the astonishing speed of 250 picks,
or throws of the ahuttle, per minute. The pieces, aster
being woven, were printed by Messrs. Hargreave, Bro-
ttvre, and Co., Accrington.
The alteration in Keith's silk trophy has a most pleas-
ing effect, and excites great admiration.
'rue British Plate Glass Company have introduced a
long slip looking-glass at the end of each of the four
projecting arms or wings on whica the silks are dis-
played. the extreme brilliancy gives a lightness of
appearance to the trophy, by which it is greatly im-
proved; and owing to these glas.,es be tng hxed at the
corners of tile trophy, they reflect diagonally objects in
the nave or transept, and the via for is not a little per-
plexed to discover where the articles so rtflecLed are to
be found.

Among the articles in the Fine Arts department (Class
30, No. 296) is a painting illustrating the triangular and
equidistant arrangement of the features, the work of an
artist named ilopley. This singular production pro-
fesies to present a scalp of proportion borne out by the
finest examples of art. Nine equal triangles, at equal
distances from each other, and having one general base,
are shown IA be an unnerring guide to pure facial pro-
portions; under them, every important outline :of
the features arranges itself, and the departure
from this order produces the existing variations.
Childhood, or the pre'symmetrical period, exhibits nine
obtuse isoceles triangles; the post-symmetrical period,
or maturity, develops nine acute isoceles triangles; it is
only at the intermediate, the most beautiful, or symme-
trical period, that these nine triangles are equilateral—
demonstrating that when there is the greatest beauty
there is the greatest symmetry. The artist or sculptor,
observing through these fixed angles where features ac-
cord with or depart from this scale, will, it is said, be
assisted to the speedy realisation of a correct outline;
thus saving valuable time, and securing a better oppor-
tunity to study the mental characteristics of his sitter.
The work has excited much curiosity amongst the artists
who have visited the Exhibition, and, it is thought, will
lead to results of a practically useful character.
The entire sum received by the Commissioners from
every source up to Thursday amounts to 389,5821.35. 10d.
The receipts from halt-crowns yesterday amounted to
2,0511. 7e., and the number of visitors was 20,859.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From th,- London New Price Current, Aug. 15.)

SUGAR.—To -day only limited purchases were made
in West India Suger, and rather lower rates were taken
for inferior sorts, makingl is fall for the week ref 6d to Is,
but on the better qualities of yellow the decline is not
more thau 6d. The purchases are 550 hhds, Bec,, includ-
ing at auciou 225 ple4s Nevis, which sold at 30s 6d to
32s 6d for low to fine brown, and at 333 to 37s for com-
mon to good yellow ; 46 hhds Demerara crystalized,
good yellow 42s to 435, and mid 38s.
REFINED.—To-day there was no variation in the
value of Refined Sugar, but home dealers made purchases
with reluctance, and the supply is getting more plentiful.
Crushed Sugar met with a dull demand for exportation,
and at the rates of yesterday there are free sellers.
MALTRITIUS.—This afternoon .Mauritius Sugar met
with notice; the better kinds of yellow sustained
the former value, but inferior and brown went rather
cheaper. At auction 4,010 bags sold—low to mid brown
went at 283 to 30s, better sorts 313 to 335; low to good
yellow 373 ro 37s ad per cwt.
EAST afternoon the market for Bengal
Sugar presented a dull aspect, the best white and grainy
realiz-d full rates, but a slight reduction has taken place
for interior kinds. At public sale 3.800 bags nearly all
sold, good to fine white Beaares went at 403 to 41s 6J,
low to good mid 37s 64 to 393 6d, damp
and washed 37s to 40s, 1,,w to good soft yellow 303
to 364 6.1, good brown 29s to 29s 6d, fine grainy white
455, superior like M3uritius 373 6d to 40,,, mid to fine
34* to 394, low 33s to 33. 64. Madras is rather cheaper,
and 731 bags went at 26* 6d to 283 6d for low to fine
soft brown, and 321 bags Penang at 34s 6d to 363 for mid
to good yetluw.
FOREIGN.—To-day holders of Foreign generally re-
' fased to submit to any further reduction; the private
operations were of litrle moment, and weaned chiefly to
a cargo of brown Bahia at 173 6d for fair quality. At
auction 110 pkgs 227 bags Brazil were only in part
sold, low to flue brown Bahia at 28s 6d to 32s 61, low
yellow 32e 6d to 333, and brown Pernambuco at
2es to 32s per cwt: of Egyptian 50 pkgs went at 353
for fair yellow, and at 333 for low. These are rather
lower rates. Two cargoes yellow Ilavannuh sold at 20s
6d to 20s 91 equal to No. 11f.
MOLASSES.— ro-day at public sale 40 puns St. Nevis
Molasses sold at 12s 6d per cwt, being barely the former
value.
COFPEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee
met with ready purchasers. and in some cases stiffer
rates are paid; at auction 252 casks all sold, mid 54s to
575, low mid 52s to 535, fine to fine fine ord 463 to 51s, pea
berry 583 to 624, and triage 35s to 43. 6d. Native met
a good demand, and the parcels sold privately were at
418 to 41s 61; at auction 303 bags realized 41s for good
ord, and 348 to 393 for damaged. Of Bahia 610 bags
were taken in at 36s 6d to 37s for good ord, chiefly at
36e 6d, being above the value, but damaged sold at 29s 6d
to 34s per cwt.
Cocoee—Fine red Trinidad is still wanted and supply
being small former rates of 50s to 55s per cwt have
been paid; other kinds are held for fall terms, but met
with less attention. At auction 422 nags Trinidad were
partly sold; good red at 44s to 483, ord and mid 41s to
445, grey from 38s to 41s; 37 bags mid Grenada 378,
and 9 brls 30 bags St. Vincent's mid and fine 37s to
433 6d. Foreign continues to meet with little attention,
and holders are not disposed to sell at any further de-
cline, and require 26s to 278 for Bahia and Para, and
for Guayaquil 285 to 30s per cwt.
Tx.a.—The dulness in the market for Green further
increased this week, and larger parcels have been brought
forward; a reduction has taken place of id to Id per lb
for Hysou, and prices are rather lower for most other
sorts, but Young Ilyson continues to be wanted, and many
parcels have been sold at full terms. Congou is in
larger supply, and offered rather under the rates prevail-
ing, yet dealers have manifested a reluctance to operate,
and beat sorts are least required. The prices accepted
fur low to good common have been 9id to 100, medium
to rather strong blackish leaf 101 d to Did, and good to
fine is to le 6d. Souchong met with a dull demand,
and a slight reduction is apparent, better qualities
meeting with the least attention. Oolong is yet held for
Is to Is 7d, at the same time little has been done. The
supply of Scented and Pekoe Teas far exceed dealers'
wants: a fall has taken place of Id per lb for Orange
Pekoe, and rates are rather lower for most other sorts.
RlClE.—There is a reluctance on the part of holders of
East Italia to sell under the rates prevailing previously,
and the market is sparingly supplied. The private opera-
tions are upon a small seaie by exporters and home
&slim The present value is for good and fine white
Bengal 9e 6d to 10s 6d, mid 95 to 9s 3d, low and bielen
84 3d to 8s 9d, cargo 7. 6d, Arracan 83, pinky Madras
7s to 7s 9d, and Bengal grain 8s to 8s 6d per cwt. An
impression exists that rather lower prices will prevail.
None has been otf_red at auction this week, and Wee is
cheaper than in the preceding season.

. . ...
SPlRlTS.—Demerara Rum remains in good demand,
and pri-vnius terms have been well supported, the parcels
sold realisinc, 24 to 2s 3d p,r gallon for 30 to 40 per cent
over proof. In East India a fair business has been con-
cluded at is 31d to is 4d proof strength; indeed,
thereat some parties wilt not sell. Several transactions
have taken place in Leeward Island; prices are film
at Is 5d to Is 6d proof. and there is only a limited
amount on offer. Fine Jsmaica has met with a
free sale both fur shipping and home trade purposes,
end the terms paid have been from 3s 2d to
4s 4d for 34 to 38 per cont. over proof.. Previous
rates are also well supported fur other sorts, and a fair
demand prevails, good mid to good 32 co 34 over proof
realizA 2s 93 to 3s, low and mid 30 to 33 over 2s 6d to
2s Bd. Brandy continues to be operated in with re-
luctance, and in consequence of a large stock, lower
rates are expected to prevail; there is, however, a fair
consumption, and dealers are moderately supplied. The va-
lue of Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1850 is 4s 4d to
4s 6d, 1849 ditto 4s sii to 4s 7d, 1848 ditto 4s 10d to 55,
older sorts 5s 4d to 7s, low to mid 23 6d to 35 6d, and
Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 3d. There is yet only a moderate
business doing in British made Spirit, still quotations re-
main firm at 9s 5d to 9s 6d, and Gin for exportation at
2s 6d. The small parcels of Geneva sold were at Is 7d
to is 8d for ord, and fine is 9d to 2s.
SPICES.—With Nutmegs the market continues to be
sparingly supplied, there are several buyers, and prices
have au upward tendency—low to mid sound brown
realizing 2,3 d to 25 10d, better sorts 3s to 3s 8d ' • and
low to fine limed Is 6d to 28 Bd. Ginger is still put..
cha.ed with caution ; and prices are yet on the decline
tor Jamaica, the public sales of 250 pckgs went st 47s to
77s for ord to good ; and one lot fine at 1235. African is to
be obtained at 24s 6il to 25s 6d; and shipping East India
at 15s to 17e; but operations have been trifling. The
Cinnamon market has a dull aspect, especially for the
lower sorts; there are sellers of Ceylon at, from is Sd
to 3s 4d for first sort; Is 3d to 2s 4d for second, and at
9d to 2s p.r lb for third and fourth. To-day the public
sales of Ginger went at lower rates, 200 cs Cochin sel-
ling at 43s to 46s 6d for mid home trade sort, and 39s
to 42s for common; 71 brls Jamaica, ord to mid 46s to
47s per cwt.
COCHINEAL,--The demand has been brisker this week
for all sorts, and full rates are obtained. At auction 210
bags Honduras nearly all sold; low to mid silvers went 1
at 2s ltd to 3i 31, good to fine 31 4,1 to 3t 8d; good to I
fine black 3s 9d to 4s sd, inferior and mid 3s id to 33 83;
80 bags Mexican Silvers 33 to 35 3d, black 3s 4d to
3* 6do 6 Loge Wenner*, 3o 94 to 31 1 Id; small molt 9f

Granilla realised 23 3d to 23 sd, and Gorblings I a 3d
to la 61. Stock is 2 000 bags more than as y•-ar.
INDIGO.—The market for _gist India is in a firm posi-
tion, there is a fair home trade and export demand,
whilst the raiPs obtained are 21 to 3d per lb above the
last quarterly itale,s; Madras, Kurpah, and good Bengal
are yet most in demand. Of Spanish the supply has
fallen off, and there is a fair business doing, at prices
rather above those of this day week; Sobres selling at
48 to 5,,•, Cortes is 61 to 44 Oct per lb.

SALTPETRE.—TO nday Saltpetre met with a good de-
[sand, and realised stiffer rates. At public sale 1.845
bags were nearly all sold; Calcutta, refraction 44 to 41
per cent. went at 28s fir good quality—fine 14 ditto 295,
damaged 22s to 261. Madras, sound 13/ per cent 25s
6:1, and 71 ditto 26•. 6i pAr cwt.
OILS.—The detravid for Seal Oil has furtber di-
minished, and prices have declined, limited purchases
having been made iu pale at 341 to 341 103; and other
descriptions at 311 to 321. There are few buyers of
Cod, and 361 id the current value, with a down-
ward tendency. Southern is in good &wand,
and supply being small buyers have been compelled
to pay 321 105 to 33110 s for good to fine, and 311 103
to 321 for inieriar sorts. Prices are sustained for Sperm;
but transactions have been limited at 841 to 861 for
colonial, and the market will be more freely supplied
shortly. lieadmatter has been selling at 901 to 921 per
tun. There are few home or export buyers of Cocoa Nut,
and rates have a downward tendency; Ceylon selling at
291 6cl to 31s 6.1; and Cochin 31s to 32s 6d; still con-
surnpion, is yet on the increase. Rape Seed Oil has
been operated in with caution, and a reduction is
apparent ; the supply is also more plentiful ; sales of
brown have been made at 32s 6d to 334; Rened 34.;
Foreign 34s 6i to 354 ; and brown Eat India 34s 6d
to 335. Teel Seed is dull of sale at 30s 6d to 31s. Lin-
seed Oil has been operated in with reluctance both for
shipping and home use, rates have receeded, and rule at
32s 6d to 334; still production does not much exceed the
consumption. F r forward delivery there is, however, a
good di mand at 325, and with not free sellers.
