THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
Last week's arrivals were moderate of English Grain, and
good of Foreign Wheat. The fresh supply was modera,e.
Fine wheat obtained former prices ; other sort., including Fo-
reign, were very dull, and rather lower. Barley supported its
value. Beans and Peas were a trifle dearer. Oats dull, and
hardly supported former rates. The Flour trade indifferent.
The late beneficial showers tend to keep the buyers out of the
•
market.

rather above those of the last auction for Colonial wool. The

The market was quiet, The accounts from the plantations
are favourable, but factors are not inclined so submit to lower
rates arid supply the market sparingly.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
llAmpsurnE.—The hay harvest in the neighbourhood,
is now almost concluded, and the weather for heat and
sunshine could not have been more propitious. The
crop of barley, turnips, &c., would, however, be much
improved by some genial showers, the want of which, in
fields and gardens near this town, is clearly to be ob-
served. Whilst almost all the villages near have been
favoured with rain, there has not been sufficient in this
quarter to lay the dust upon the roads. We have heard
the rain fell in such torrents at Hippenscomb that a
piece of wheat belonging to W. Gilbert, Esq., was
nearly swept away by the force of the water.—Hampshire
Independent.
CARLISLE.—The weather continues dry and warm,
and the farmers complain loudly of want of rain. Grass
lands are suffering from the effects of the continued
drought—being dry and sickly-looking. Wheats, how-
ever, are taking no harm. Tina hay harvest has already
commenced in the neighbourhood ; the crop will be very
thin this year.—Carlisle Journul.
KENDAL—Crops are beginning to strfft,r much from
drought, and if rain does not soon come, the operations
of the speculators in grain will be greatly assisted by the
increased anticipations of a short yield of wheat at the
coming harvest.—Kendal Mercury. . .

. ,
SOUTH WALES.—The crops are not over-promising,
and a degree of poverty—partly brought by successive
bad crops—which can scarcely be worse or more appa-
rent, is very general among the farmers in this part of
the kingdom.— Carnarvon Herald.
SETTLE..—On Monday afternoon Settle was visited by
a violent thunder-storm, accompanied by slight showers.
Two valuable horses, the property of Mr. Yeadon. corn
and flour factor, were struck by a flash of lightning, which
killed them on the spot ; yet, singular to relate, on exa-
mination of their bodies not a single hair appeared to
be singed, neither was there other mark ',k)r token of the
fearful visitation. Hay-making is now general through-
out this district, and the crops, on the whole, have ex-
ceeded an average. Every description of grain presents
a favourable appearance, though on some of the high
or chalky soils more rain would be very desirable.—Lan-
caster Guardian. _ _

The hay harvest has commenced, and the cutting is
becoming general. In consequence of the dry and sultry
weather, the produce is, in some parts, slight ; yet, upon
the whole, it may be considered an average yield. The
corn crops a►e advancing towards maturity most favour-
ably ; and, if they still continue to progress as they have
hitherto done, an abundant and early harvest will gladden
the hearts of the farmers. Rain, however, is much
needed, the earth being in many places almost scorched,
from the powerful influence of the sun.— Carnarvon and
Denbigh Herald.

SATURDAY'S SALE.

On Saturday was sold the last portion of the loose portraits
and prints formed by Horace Walpc.le, and among them were
the Faithorne's and the Holler's. The prints by Faithorne
produced 255/, and comprised several in the finest possible con-
dition as to impressions, and of first-rate rarity. Annexed are
notices of a few lots which produced thebest prices on Saturday.
Lot 739. Elias Ashmole, a bust in a niche; and another Lf
Sir Edmund Anderson, Knight, Lord Chief Justice of the
Common Pleas; both fine and rare, 21. 12s. 6d. Messrs.
Smith. Ashmole has recorded he paid Faithorne seven pounds
for engraving the plate, yet an impression at Sir M. M. Sykes's
sold for 91. 15s. So profuse was Ashmole of the prints from
this plate, that in most of the books in his library he uses it
as a book-plate, and pasted them in to mark the ownership.
Those books now constitute part of the Ashmolean museum,
at Oxford, but from some atmospheric effect, or other inde-
fineab:e cause, nearly, if not the whole, of these rare trifles
hare evapora'ed or disappeared.
Lot 743. Sir Orlande Bridgman, Lord Keeper ; cud Moll
Brownrigg, Bishop of Exeter, both fine, 2/. 15s. British

Sold in Sir M. M. Sykes's sale for 40 guineas.
Lot 784. Two prints, Sir William and Lady Paxton, 1659-

51. M. Sykes's sale they sold for 691. ss. 6d. ; 3/. Graves.

Smith. Sir M. M. Sykes's sold for 17/. 6s. 6d.

Carew)' and wife of Sir Edward Herbert, from a painting by
Van Dyck, discoloured, and the margin wholly cat off,
1/. I Is. 6d., Graves; at the Sykes sale it sold for 54/. Its.
This is one among the many instances afforded of Walpole's
folly in the destruction of his prints ; he appears to have
clipped them to particular books, and to have carried on a most
successful warfare against all the margins of his graphic collec-
tions, whether valuable or not.
The Honors were many of them fine, and several of them of
considerable rarity, yet did not realise more than ninety pounds.
Among the rarest may be notified the following :-
Lot 813. James, Duke of York, 1651, then in his 18th year,
half-length, within an oval of palms, after a painting by D.
Teniers, fine and of extreme rarity, 101. 10s. Tiffin.

grand allegorical design, by Cornelius Schut, a large sheet
proof, 31. 12s. Messrs. Smith.
Lot 818. Robert Devereux, Earle of Essex and Ewe, &c.,
on horseback, in armour, half-sheet, second address, fine,
Si. 17s. 6d. Graves.
Lot 856. Royal Exchange of LOndon, 1644; Latin and
English verses, by Henry Peachum, above on a tablet, from
which is pendant a medallion of Sir Thomas Gresham, fine,
21. 6s. Evans.
Lot 899. Three portfolios with leaves, which contained the
Walpole collection of Holler's prints, IL is. Messrs. Smith.
Among the miscellaneous prints which concluded the day's
sale, was a choice proof of Sharp's engraving from Domeni-
chino's splendid picture of St. Cecilia; it produced 4 guineas.
The whole day's sale did not realise 350 L, and has shown
the fallacy of breaking up the collection. A printseller of-
fered to take the collection, just sold, for 1,300/. ; it has
realised 1,4001., but the expenses attending this last mode of
sale has created a loss which the additional hundred will not
reimburse.
