NOTICE TO MARINERS.
TWO communiewions have been forwarded from the
cflice of the Committee of the Privy Council of Trade
to the Secretary at Lloyd's (Captain Halsted, R.N.) the
first to the t ffeet that the Spanish Minister for Foreign
Affairs ut Madrid had declared that all captains and
masters of foreign vessels which may hereafter enter the
lazarettos of Mahon and Vigo to perform quarantine
will be obliged to present the manifesto of such goods or
articles en which sanitary duties are levied, in the Spa-
nish language, of their respective pardon. On adopting
this measure it has been borne in mind that, as the
masters of vessels are boned to exhibit another more
detailed manifesto, drawn up in Spanish, to the Admi-
nistration of the Custom-house, it will be no great trou-
ble to them to make a more reduced copy of the latter,
thereby affording greater facility to the officer of the
Board of Health for the exact calculation of the duties
which are to be levied.
The Consulate from Teneriffe, dated June 14. notify-
ing that the Provincial Board of Health at Teneriffe
have decided that all arrivals from Bahia, Pernambuco,
Rio Janeiro, and other ports of Brazil, shall not be
admitted to Fatigue in the islands until they have per-
formed
quarantine either at Vigo or Port Mahon, in
consequence of the reported existence of yellow fever o❑
the Brazil coast, this measure has been adopted here in
accordance with a similar decision made by the Caliz
Board of "Health under date of the 20th ult.
This decision will .:fTeet the Royal Mail seam Packet
Company's vessels on their return from the Brazils, bnt
the civil governor of this island has assured me that
every facility shall be given for the embarka,tio❑ of de
correspondence, passengers, merchandise, or provisions,
and for coaling in case of need.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
Aug. 8, 1851.

A correspondent of the Lombardo Veneto of Milan
gives the following account of the positions which
General GRMEAU has taken up at ltome. lie has
concentrated all his troops on the right bank of the
Tiber, leaving only half a battalion at La l'ilotta, for
the defence of the French embassy. The military
occupation extends from the Castle St. Angelo to the
Porta Portese, at the other extremity of the Janicu-
ks. Thus the French army is situated between the
Tiber and the most important fortifications of Rome.

MARKET INEWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

A fair average supply of English Wheat has arrived
up to our market, this week, costwise, viz., 2,370 quar-
ters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. Fresh up to-day
the receipts were small, yet they were fully equal to
the demand, which ruled heavy, at barely Monday's de-
cline in the quotations, and a total clearance was not
effected. There were a few rubbed-out samples of new
English Wheat, Barley, and Oats on show in good con-
dition. A few transactions took place for future deli-
very. Upwards of 18,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat
have come to hand. Selected samples were very dull,
yet the importers refused to accept lower terms. The
value of low and middling kinds was almost nominal
Foreign Barley was in large supply. All kinds moved
off slowly, and previous rates were with difficulty sup-
ported. We had a very inactive inquiry for Malt at
about stationary prices. Very few home-grown Oats
were brought forward, but the supply of foreign exceeded
51,000 quarters. Heavy qualities sold at late rates, but
other kinds were 64 per quarter cheaper. Beans,
Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour commanded very little at-
tention.

THE FETES AT PARIS.
(From Galignani's Messenger of Wednesday.)
GRAND RE VIE 1V AND SHAM FIGHT.
The civic fetes which have been got up in honour
of the visit of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of
London and the Commissioners of the Exhibition
were yesterday followed by a grand military spec-
tacle in the Champ de Mars. The commencement of
the manoeuvres was fixed for four o'clock, but several
hours before that time the Champ de Mars, the
quays, the heights of Chaillot, and indeed every spot
from whence a view could be obtained, was densely
thronged. Tribunes had been erected on one side of the
Champ de Mars for the accommodation of a certain
number provided with tickets, and which were at an
early hour filled with elegantly dressed females. The
centre tribune was more particularly reserved for the
Lord Mayor and the other visitors, by whom it was
filled some time before the manoeuvres commenced. At
about three o'clock the troops began taking up their
positions. Precisely at four o'clock the President of
the Republic, accompanied by a numerous and bril-
liant staff, entered the Champ de Mars from the right
bank, and crossing the Pont d'lena. Among the
cortege were thirteen or fourteen English officers.
Marginal Narvaez and several other foreign officers
were also among the number. The moment the
President came on the ground, he rode up to the front
of the tribune, and saluted the Lord Mayor and the
gentlemen who were there seated. He then turned
again towards the river, and the manoeuvres imme-
diately commenced.

Notwithstanding that our market to-day was season
ably well supplied with Beasts, both as to number and
quality, the demand for that description of stock was
steady, and, in some instances, the primest Scots pro-
duced a trifle more money. Sheep—the supply of which
was tolerably good—moved off slowly, yet previous
rates were well supported. We had only a moderate
inquiry for Lambe, at Monday'i currency. Prime small
Calves were quite as dear; but other kinds of Veal
commanded very little attention. The Pork trade ruled
heavy, but we have no decline to notice in prices. Milch
Cows were dull, at from 141 to 181 5s each, including
their small Calf.

In order to form an idea of the mimic combat, we
must imagine a hostile force advancing from Passy
and the Bois de Boulogne to attack the Ecole Mili-
taire, a strong fortress having the river in its front.
The attacking army had pushed on a strong recon-
noitring party as far as the heights of Chaillot, on
seeing which the general in command of the fortress
took up a position in the Champ de Mars with his
force, consisting of fourteen battalions of infantry,
ten squadrons of light and heavy cavalry, and
two batteries of artillery. Finding the enemy
were occupying the heights opposite his position,
he advanced a strong force of tirailleurs across
the bridge of Jena, at the same time that he
made a diversion on their left wing by throw-
ing a ponton bridge across the river a little way
above. The tirailleurs, under the support of a heavy
fire of artillery, advanced up the heights, keeping up
a rapid fire as they advanced through the wood with
which the heights are covered. They were met with
a heavy fire from the party posted on them, as well
as from some artillery placed on the summit. The
reconnoitring party were at length driven back on
their main body, and the tirailleurs retained possession
of the heights. Their conquest, however, was but of
short duration, for the main body of the enemy ad-
vancing, the tirailleurs were in their turn obliged to
retreat and re-cross the bridge. The enemy then, in
their turn, became the assailants, and, under a heavy
fire from their artillery, advanced on the Champ de
Mars, compelling the garrison of the fortress to fall
back on their strong-hold. This was not done, how-
ever, without every inch of ground being warmly
disputed.
The coup (iced here became truly magnificent,
dense columns were seen descending the heights to-
wards the bridge, marching across it, and debouching
on the Champ de Mars, on entering which they
formed in squares to repel the heavy charges of ca-
valry. Jn this way the two armies went on, the one
advancing and the other retreating, until the whole
body of troops, amounting to from 25,000 to 30,000
men, were concentrated in the Champ de Mars. Some
splendid charges of cavalry were made on the in-
fantry, formed in squares, who received them with a
well-supported fire. All the movements were exe-
cuted with admirable precision. During the passing
of the bridge, and the attack on it by the advancing
party, the President and his staff placed thernselves
on the quay, near the Pont d'lena, and remained
thore until the hostile party began to descend the
heights. On the President coming on the ground he
was hailed with loud cries of " Vivo Napoleon
Vire le Prtisident !" hundreds of blouses joining in
the shout, and taking off their caps as he passed.
The combat was terminated at about
six o'clock,
when the President dismounted, and entered the tri-
bune for a few minutes, after which he again mounted
his horse, and taking up his station in front or the
tribune, the filing otf commenced, and was not
finished until more than half-past seven. lie then
proceeded with his staff towards the Elas63 by the
the same road he had come. On leavieg the
Champ de Mars, the people eagerly closed
round him on all sides, so much so that his
escort bad some difficulty to clear a passage,

BIRMINGHAM, Auc. 7.—At Gloucester and WoiCester
markets, on the 2d, there was a large supply of Wheat from
the farmers, and little progress could be made in sales even
by submitting to a reduction of ls. per qr. Barley nearly
maintained its value, the supply being short. Few Oats
offering. and lower prices were not submitted to. Beans
nominally unaltered. Peas is per quarter lower. During
the present week, the weather being as fine as possible for
the harvest, scarcely a transaction is reported in Wbeat•
Barley taken in retail at nearly previous rates. Oats held for
former prices. Beans Is per quarter lower. For Peas we
have very few inquiries. At this day's market there was *
less supply of Wheat from the farmers, but the trade ruled
dull at a decline of Is to 2s per quarter. Barley Cd to is per
quarter lower. So few Oats were offering that the currency
i
of this day se'nnight was maintained. Beans and Peas Wu
for former prices, but no progress could be made.

METROPOLITAN INT ERMEN TS.

speech of the Bishop of London, in the House of Lorat.
on Monday evening, appears to be that the evils wills

to be postponed until the Board of Health has overool32„
all the obstacles presented. to their progress, rather OR;
hand over the duties of public interment to a comP°l„
whom, he assumes, would not duly provide for the cier.e.g°
of the metropolitan. parishes. This, happily, is °ibis
assumption, and a groundless one, as' the se great Puck

been called forth by the delay and difficulties of t`
Board of Health, are not only ready to do at ones
.that the Board contemplate, as the ultimate and an ha

tent of their lingering and lavish proceedings, but "2%,
actually made due and stringent reservation of 0,13",
