THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

GLOUCESTER, JULY 13.—The upward tendency of
prices has been slightly checked to-day by the fineness
of the weather, but still we can hardly quote any decline
English wheat must be quoted at a decline of is per
quarter on last week's advance. Foreign also lower.
Barley and other grain also dull.
At Cirencester market there was a good business done
at better prices. Best English white wheat, 5s 6d to 5s
9d per bushel; red, 5s to 5s 6d; second qualities, 4s 9d
to ss. Malting barley a drug; grinding, -228 to 23s per

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, ant by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
gauge in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
whir* links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
-:' :On /natters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraeli.% Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ng beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuoni parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

question, but the Government would take into serious
consideration the treaty which had just been sent
them by Prussia ; but, he added, that the introduction

articles were alone correct.

diff:rent versions of the origin of the tumult; ono
account is that the students and people attacked the

DEATH OF MRS. GLOVER.

We regret to learn that this late venerable and cele-
brated actress died last night, after a short illness. It
will be recollected that on Friday evening last, when
Abe took her farewell benefit at Drury-lane Theatre, she
was scarcely able to go through the character of Mrs.
Malaprop, in the Rinah, arising from constitutional de-
bility; and that in some of the scenes she re-

nired personal support. For a few days previously she
had been suffering from severe indisposition, and it was
even doubted whether she would be enabled to make her
final appearance on the stage on the night fixed upon
for that event. She, however, succeeded in bidding a
last farewell to her theatrical friends and patrons, since
which she has been gr,eduslly declining, and as we have
said, expired at her residence last night. The gentle-
men who formed themselves into a committee to raise a
fund for Mrs. Glover succeeded in gathering 1,000/., in-
dependently of the money derived from the benefit of
Friday last.

ITALY.

General Pfanzelter, Austrian commandant of An-

in the Giornale di Roma of the stb, regulating
the competence of the military and civil tri-
bunals of the Marches. The Giudizio Statario,
or severer kind of court-martial, which
can pronounce no other punishment but death,
takes cognizance of all acts of high treason, of de-
tention of arms, participation in insurrections with
or without arms, illegal enrolments, the resistance to
sentinels, patrols, and any Austrian or Pontifical
soldier, supposing that the sentinel or patrol
have not exercised their right of firing upon
those who have molested them, &c. Th milder
sort of court-martial takes cognizance of the
crimes of carrying arms about one's person, distri-
buting revolutionary writings, insults of the lighter
kind ; directed against military men, wearing revo-
lutionary tokens, singing revolutionary songs, rioting,
participation in revolutionary meetings, transgression
of the laws of censorship of the press, &c. All other
transgressions are left to the cognizance of the Ponti-
fical tribunals.

THE ISLAND OF CUBA.

PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.—By the steam-sloop Vixen,
6, Commander R. Jenner, which arrived here on
Saturday, having sailed from Havannah on the 14th
of June, it appears that outside that harbour she
passed two men-of-war, part of the fleet of twenty-
six Spanish vessels cruising round the island of Cuba.
The nearest of them, the frigate Esmeralda, beat to
quarters, as an act of discipline, on the approach of
an armed ship, and continued, pro forma, ready for
action, until the Vixen had passed.
The city of Havannah continues under martial law,
and from 5,000 to 6,000 militiamen are exercising
there daily. The place of descent, the Cardines,
selected by the recent American invaders, was the
most unfavourable for their enterprise; it is nearly
the only place were they were likely to be success-
fully resisted ; but the disaffected on the island state
that this descent is not to be the only one, as 500 ad-
venturers were at New Orleans perfectly ready to
make a second effort, and it is possible ere this that
they have left the American shores. They also state
that another 500 are at New York prepared to follow
the first detachment, and that nearly all the western
part of Cuba, with the exception of the city of Ha-
vannah, is favourable to the invasion, and willing to
assist them with money, &c., as soon as they shall
have effected a lauding on the island.
The American squadron was expected daily.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and. Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

As the Lord Chamberlain has issued orders for
closing all the theatres on this (Tuesday) evening, a
performance took place at her Majesty's Theatre last
evening. The opera was I Puritani, and Madame
Frezzolini sustained the character of Elvira for tNe
first time in this country. The Elvira of Madame
Frezzolini is one of the most charming of her perso-
nations ; her vocalization was exquisite, and her ren-
dering of the far-famed Polacca delicious—it
commanded an unanimous encore. She looked
and acted the " Vergen vezzosa" to the life.
In the last act her singing and acting were
full cf expression and feeling. Baucarde was
the Arturo, la sblache the Georgio, and Coletti the
Riccardo. The suprb " Suona la Tromba" was
never more superbly rendered than it was last even-
ing by Coletti and Lablache. Between the second
and third acts of the opera, Carlotta Grisi danced the
" Truandaise" in the most piquant manner imaginable,
at d was, as a matter of course, rapturously encored.
After the opera the celebrated Donna Maria Loretto
Martinez, the Black Malibran, made her first appear-
ance before an English audience in a divertisse-
ment composed expressly to introduce her, entitled
Les Delices du Serail. The scene represents the
interior of a harem, and the various Sultanas are
dancing to amuse the lord and master, who is seated
on a musnud. After the performance of several
dances (one of which, a pas de deux, by Mademoiselle
Amalia Ferraris and Madame Petit Stephan, is de.
serving of especial commendation), the Donna Mar
tin( zis introduced veiled. The veil having been re-
moved, we saw before us one of the most handsome
negresses in the world, attired in a superb Spanish
costume. She was led to an ottoman,
on which she took her seat, and a Spanish
guitar having been handed to her, sho
struck a few notes us a prelude. It was evident from
the first that she was dreadfully nervous—she
trembled exceedingly as she took the guitar—but it
was also evident from her manner of touching the
instrument, and of stopping, that she was a first-rate
guitar player. She then commenced one of her
Cuban melodies. It was full of character, and not-
withstanding her highly nervous state, which pre-
vented her from exhibiting the full powers of
her voice, and acted evidently as a pain-
ful restraint upon her, there was something
so quaint, so original, so characteristic in her style
of singing and acting, that she elicited loud ap-
plause, and at the conclusion of her performance
(she sang three songs, in one of which she was en-
cored), she was called on. The performance of the
Black Milibran is a perfect musical curiosity, and
we shall very much like again to witness her per-
formances.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1850.

The Protectionist journals are uttering joyous
paeans in consequence of a supposed reaction in
favour of the obsolete principles of monopoly. Ac-
cording to our contemporaries Ireland is the chief
scene of the retrograde movement, and they rely on
the late election for Cork city, and the forthcoming
election for the county Mayo, in which Mr. BUTT,
the eminent Irish Queen's Counsel, is said to be cer-
tain of success, as affording abundant evidence of the
accuracy of their statements.
At the time of the Cork election we fully and
clearly explained the causes that led to the return of
Colonel CIIATTBETON. They were altogether of a
personal, and not of a political nature.
The private character of the Gallant Colonel was as
popular as his public opinions were distasteful
to the constituency. His family had for many years
been resident in the immediate neighbourhood of the
city, and when be himself retired from the service in
which he had attained so distinguished a position, he
entered on the occupation of the family mansion.
During the fearful and trying scenes that followed
the mysterious disease which destroyed the food of
nine-tenths of the people, the Honourable and Gallant
Officer maintained the post on which he had entered,
and contended as boldly against the famine and ac-
companying pestilence as he hal formerly done
against the enemies of his country. He faithfully
discharged the duties of a resident gentleman,
and did much to alleviate the sorrows and
mitigate the sufferings of his unfortunate
neighbours. He had also another claim, which
afforded him no ordinary assistance in his canvass.
The " brethren of the mystic tie" muster in consider-
able numbers in the " beautiful city," and perhaps in
no part of the empire are the obligations of Masonry
more ardently cultivated ; each member of the Order
was, and we may also say is, at all times ready to
"held, aid, and assist" his brethren in eve ry emergency.
Now, the Gallant Colonel at that period occupied
very high rank in the Order—no less, we believe,

REVIEW OF MARKETS.

(Unless specially stated to the contrary, long or duty-
paid prices are always given, and are to be considered as
whole,sle prices.)
Flour—We have heard of a sale of 370 barrels Phila-
delphia flour at 325. Smaller lots of Baltimore are
being moved at the same rate.

Meal-110 barrels Philadelphia have changed hands,
at 17r.

Rice—The stock of Carolina is enormous, and the
market quite stagnant. Holders, however, are firm at
ISA., but the trade refused to operate thereat. East
India has been sold at 145., but that rate cannot now be
obtained.

Butter—Sales of Philadelphia to the extent of 170
kegs have been made at 7d. The market still continues
heavily stocked with Irish, for which only 10d, is offered.
Bread—Wattson's pilot is moved at 18e., and crackers
at 225., in small lots as wanted.

Mackerel—The stuck is very heavy, and more than
28s. cannot be got, at which rate the article is dull.
Ilerrings—Remain as last reported.
Alewives are scarce, at 225.
Oil—The market is overstocked. Cod remains at 2e,
2d., and whale and lard have been sold at the same rate.
Laird is very inactive notwithstanding that the stock
has diminished to a considerable extent. The large
quantity of lard oil at market checks the consumption of
this article as soon as prices are attempted to be raised.
Not more than sd. per lb. can be got for it.
Codfish—Last sales were 13s. per cask, and 16s. per
box.
Salmon is wanted.
Pork—Mess is taken at GSs. to 703.; prime is almost
unsaleatle at 545.
Hams--American change hands at 3d. to Gd. per lb.,
and Lancashire at Bd. The market is largely supplied,
particularly with the former.
Soap—Vie quote Olden's 50Ibs. at 10s., and 601hs. at
lie.; Steel's 48Ibs. at 10s., 561bs. feather at lls. 6d

COUNTY RATES BILL.

Mr. J. WILLIAMS wished to ask the Hon. Member
fir Manchester whether it was his intention to proceed
with the County Rates Bill this session.
Mr. M. GIBSON said it was very obvious what his
intentions were with respect to the Bill at this late period
of the session; but he wished to state, as his Hon.
Friend had put a question, that he had undertaken the
charge of the measure at the request of several persons
in different parts of the country. The principle of
the Bill was sanctioned by the House, and the
second reading agreed to without a division,
but the House had thought proper to hand him and the
Bill over to a hostile Committee, whose real intention
was not to amend but to destroy it. His campaign had
therefore been unsuccessful, but he hoped, after the
strong expression of the country on the subject, that
the Government would introduce a similar measure
next session, because it was quite impossible for any in •
dividual Member to do so with any chance of success.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said there was no foundation
for the statement of the Hon. Member that the Com-
mittee was hostile to the Bill; and reminded him that it
was a Committee entirely of his own selection, and
one to which he (Sir J. Peleington) entertained serious
oljections.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir GEORGE GREY observed that all he could say
in reply to the Hon. Member (Mr. M. Gibson), was that
the Committee took a good deal of evidence in re-
ference to the Bill. That evidence, as well
as the pra.:tical suggestions of the Committee, he
would take into his consideration during the recess, but
he was not prepared to say that the Government would
bring in a Bill founded on them next session.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1850.

No circumstance could more remarkably have il-
lustrated the justice of our observations on Thursday
upon the want of the proper recognition of the ser-
vices performed by great public benefactors, than the
announcement simultaneously made of the paltry
pension of 1001. per annum bestowed upon Major
HERBERT EDWARDES by the East India Company.
Considering the serious injury inflicted in battle
upon the right hand of that illustrious soldier, he
would, even under the most ordinary circumstances,
have been fully entitled to that miserable pittance.
Had the Directors in Leadenhall-street retained the
slightest sense of propriety they would simply have
granted that pension of a hundred a-year in conse-
quence of its recipient having been thus severely
wounded. But, as if to point out their
egregious incapability of betraying anything
like munificence, the proceeding was intimated
as buying been adventured upon "in consideration
of the eminent services" of Major EDWARDES. _Newer
was recompense more pitiably disproportioned to the
achievements cf a great public benefactor. If it be
borne in recollection that the young officer to whom
this wretched little annuity is dedicated has been
mainly instrumental in aggrandizing the territorial
possessions of the Company by a vast and fruitful
tract of land like the country of the five rivers—an
accession of dominion ex'ending over a larger space
than that occupied by Great Britain itself—the in-
sufficiency, we might even say the absolute indelicacy,
of the reward becomes taintully perceptible. Nor
must it be forgotten that; btsides owing to Major
