MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.)
During the past week the weather has been extremely
favourable for the ingathering of the crops; hence the ad-
vices which have reached us to-day from nearly all parts of
England—but more particularly from the forward districts,
in which large breadths of wheat and other grain have been
already carried in good condition—including Ireland and
Scotland, are of a more gratifying character titan those
which have been received for some time previously. The
quality of the grain as yet submitted to the process of thrash-
ing is stated to be below an average, though the weight is
nearly, or quite, equal to that of former seasons. Since this
day se'nnight, up to Saturday evening, the receipts of English
Wheat were somewhat liberal for the time of year, and of
full average quality. Of Barley, Beans, Peas, and flour
the receipts were comparatively small. Fresh up this
morning, however, upwards of five hundred quarters of wheat
of this year's produce came to hand, chiefly from Essex with
a few parcels from Kent and other parts. The fresh supply
of old wheat was small. As the dealers purchased with great
caution, the demand for that description of produce ruled
dull. New wheat may be quoted front Is to 23; old qualities
Is per quarter lower than on Monday last, and a clearance was
not effected. The prices obtained for the former varied from 48s
to 60s per quarter, and at which nearly the whole was dis-
posed of. A total clearance of the old parcels was not effected.
The show of fine foreign wheat was by no means large.
Holders were tolerably firm, yet the trade was in a
sluggish state, and when sales were forced an abatement of
quite is per quarter was submitted to. Bonded Grain was
quite neglected. There was scarcely any English Barley on
show, while that of Foreign was by no means large. Grind-
ing and Distilling parcels commanded a ready sale, at ex •
tensive rates. In Malting qualites only a moderate business
was doing. Although the supply of Malt was somewhat on
the increase, we had a fair retail demand for it, at fully, but
at nothing quotable beyond, previous figures. From Ireland
very few Oats have reached us since our last, but we have
to report the arrival ofupwards of 37,000 quarters from foreign
ports. The Oat tr.ule was very dull, at, in some instances, a
decline of 6d per quarter. Beans and Peas supported late
rates; but Flour was offering at somewhat easier terms.
Several parcels of new Seeds were on show, but the business
doing was trifling.

SMITHFIELD.

Since Monday last, the imports alive stock for this market
have been extensive, they having amounted to 22 Oxen and
Cows from llamburgb, and 200 Oxen and Cows, together
with 76 Sheep, from Rotterdam. We had on offer 190 Dutch
Beasts, in excellent condition ; indeed, they were some of the
best animals we had seen for some weeks past. At the out-
ports, the arrivals of stock from the Continent have
proved large, viz. 220 Beasts and Sheep, all at Hull.
From our own grazing districts, the Bullock sup-
plies received fresh up this morning were very extensive tier
the time of year, while a decided improvement was noticed
in their quality and condition. Although the attendance of
buyers was rather numerous, theßeef trade was in a very de-
pressed state, at a decline in the currencies obtained last
week of quite 2d per Blbs, the highest figure for the best Scots
not exceeding 4s per Sibs, and a clearance was not effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re-
ceived 600 short horns, Scots and homebreds; from the
northern counties, 800 short horns, &c. ; from the western
and midland counties, 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds;
and from Scotland 200 horned and polled Scots.—
The numbers of sheep were somewhat on the increase, though
by no means larger for the season. Prime old Downs sup-
ported previous rates, but all other kinds were 2d per 81bs
lower, with a heavy demand. Lambs were in fair average
supply and sluggish inquiry, at a decline in the quotations of
2d per Slbs. The Veal trade was in a sluggish state, yet
prices were mostly supported. The numbers of Pigs, 132
of which came from Ireland, were moderate. The Pork
trade ruled steady at full prices.

For the time of year a full average supply of slaughtered
meat has reached us from Scotland and various parts of
England—it having consisted of 846 carcases of Bee; 1,600
ditto of Mutton, 584 ditto of "Veal, and 1,250 ditto of Pork.
Generally speaking the trade has ruled dull, and prices had
downward tendency.

SECESSION OF THE REV. W. G. WAIID TO THE
CHURCH OF ROME.-Mr. Ward has at length made up his
mind to secede from the Established Church. This, it appears,
has been known among his personal friends for the last fort-
night, hut it was not until Saturday that the public were
aware that he had taken this step. Correspondence, which
appears in the Oxford _Thread, explains the reason of his
doing so. It is expected that other defections from the Pro-
testant communion will immediately follow by members of this
university who belong to the Tractarian School. The letter of
Air. Ward, and its appendix, are long-winded affairs, but we
shall endeavour to find room for them by to-morrow. We wish
the Puseyite bishops would follow the good example.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO TIIE RIIINE.—The

MAGAZINE DAY.
BLACK WOOD'S MAGAZINE.

The decline and fall of party rancour are the most re-
markable symptoms of the present time, and in no pub-
lications are these symptoms more manifest than in the
monthly periodicals, devoted originally to literature and
amusing tales, but up to the accession of the Peel Minis
try, generally ending with a violent dissertation on the
politics of one party or another in the State. Since
Peel's reign commenced, the writers have found it a most
difficult task to put the political engine in motion. They
could not get up the steam for want of fuel, and latterly,
so scanty has been the supply, one party article in the
course of three months has been reckoned a fair
average for the market. Even that amount, North, with
all his strong Tory principles, could not furnish. Others
have been more productive, but perhaps to less purpose,
for what with a wish to blame, or to praise, the conduct
of the Minister, and a want of power to discern the ob-
jects of his policy, they have not unfrequently been com-
pelled to unsay in one article the arguments which they
had put forth with much gravity and assurance in
another. These are the natural results of the present
state of parties. Peel has confounded Whigs and Tories.
His old friends occasionally write against him, but they
write without hope. They have no other idol to substi-
tute in his plate, a sort of interregnum exists, and they
trust to the chapter of accidents for a new leader, and a
better state of things. The Whigs, the Liberals, and the
moderate Conservatives, and all the other sections, if
we except the thorough-going Radical, have no reason
to find fault. The two first, in fact, can only complain
that they are not allowed to work, for they cannot say
that their work is not done. They have been shoved
from their places by their skilful adversaries who have
tAltai up their trade, and now carry on the firm, as
diTnathan would say, under a new name, but with more
enterprise, and a great deal more capital. These rea-
sons sufficiently explain the absence of those angry dis-
cussions which were formerly appended to the literary
dissertations in the Magazines. Blackwood has, how-
ever, contrived to infuse a little Tory policy into the
present number by reverting to events now neatly half
a century old. He has gone back to the time of Pitt
and the French Consulate, and the partition of Poland.
"Marston, or the Memoirs of a Statesman," has for
months been rather a heavy and prosy production, but
it has been imbued with fresh vigour by the astonishing
events which it describes, and we are glad to find owes
that vigour, not so much to the violence of Tory prepos-
sessions, or to selfish attacks on the policy of the Whigs
during the long reign of Church and State principles,
as to a generous and catholic spirit in the cause of
freedom, and a sincere regret that the man of the age
sacrificed Poland, and threw away countless blessings
which he might have conferred on mankind, to gratify
his boundless and wicked ambition. The following
extract will bear out our remarks _ _

" The partition of Poland was the most comprehensive and
audacious crime of the modern world. It was a deliberate in-
sult, at once to the laws of nations and to the majesty of the
great Disposer of nations. And never fell vengeance more
immediate, more distinct, or more characteristic. The capital
of Austria twice entered over the bodies of its gallant sol-
diery ; Russia ravaged and Moscow burnt ; the Prussian army
extinguished by the massacre of Jena, and Prussia in a day
fettered for years—were the summary and solemn retribution
of Heaven. But, when the penalty was paid, the fate of the
executioner instantly followed. Guilt had punished guilt, and
justice was to be alike done upon all. Napoleon and his em-
?ire vanished, as the 'powder vanishes that explodes the mine.
The ground was broken up; the structures of royalty on its
surface were deeply fractured; the havoc was complete ; but
the fiery deposit which had effected the havoc was itself scat-
tered into air.
.‘ His re-establishment of Poland would have been an act
of grandeur. It would have established a sew character for
the vileale Reielution. It would have shown that the new
spirit which had gone forth summoning the world to regenera-
tion, was itself regeneration ; that it was not a tempter, but a
roiturer ; that all conquest was not selfish, and all protestation
not meant to deceive. If Napoleon had given Poland a
di.ulem, and placed it on the brow of Kosciusko, he would, in
that act, have placed on his own a diadem which no chance of
field could have plucked away; an imperishable and
diattieg answer to all the calumnies of his age, and all the
doubts of posterity. He might even have built, in the re-
storation of the fallen kingdom, a citadel for his own security
in ail the casualties of empire; but, in all events, he would
have fixed in the political beanie' a star which, to the last re-
colixction of mankind, would have thrown light on his sepul-
dire, end borne his name."
Pi the cline article is a brief allusion to the death of
Pitt, in whia:h we heartily concur. "It was said," says
tle, writer, " that Pitt, died of a broken heart, in despair
of the peoerects of England. The defeat ef Austerlitz
was pronoUnceil !iis death blow. What thoughts may
cluster round the pillow who shall tell ? But no man
know England better—none had a bolder faith in her
perseverance and principle—none had more broadly laid
the foundations of victory in national honour. I shell
sever be driven into the belief that William Pitt (I, s-
paired of his country." Yes—who can tell what
ttoughts may cluster round the sleepless pillow ? Dis-
ease of body produces awful changes in the mind. The
hand of death unnerves the strongest spirit, yet there
are men of tho present day, vainly calling themselves
British historian', who attribute the words " 0 my
country" (we believe they were never uttered), to the
emayletions of a rational mind, and, with a want of na-
tional spirit, rendered only. more disgraceful by repeat-
ing the reveries of the dying, encourage the French in
their vat''-glorious boastings, that Bonaparte had not
only killed but subdued the spirit of his country-
men. Pitt never t.';'guaired of England. . North still
continues his ‘, Specimens,:.`f the British Critics, " and in
the present series has enlivened tliOn e little by a viru-
lent attack on the post Churchill, the friei;`.l Of I,l' ilkes.
Had it been les coarse, it would have been more effec-
tive. His character is thus summed up :—" Ho left his
profession, the Church ; and he exchanged his wife, af-
ter many years' cohabitation, for a mistress ; two para-
mount desperations unhappily met. And the trumpet-
tall to the war-field of patriotism sings but uncheeringly
when the blast is winded by the breath of Wilkes."

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.
The mom', valuable article in this Number, perhaps
should not be far wrong in saying, the most valuable
Magazine article of the month, is the one entitled " Con-
f. scions of a Water Patient, by Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton, Bart." It appears that sixteen years of wear
an I tear in the literary, political, and fashionable world,
had completely upset the physical well being of Sir Ed-
ward—that for years he never had passed twelve hours
without pain or illness—that his constitution was, in
to it, completely shattered. Various physicians pre-
scribed various remedies—he tried them all. He tra-
velled, he retired to the seaside and lived quiet, still his
suff,rings continued unalleviated, and gastric irritation
rendered his life wretched. At length he was induced
to try the cold water cure, and went to Malvern, where
lie nI iced himself under the care of Dr. Wilson, of whom
and of his establishment he speaks in the highest terms.
A two months' course of hydropathy nearly restored
him to health, He was called away to Germany. On
his journey he took cold, fever came on. Fortunately
he was near the hydropathio establishment of De Schmidt,
tit Boppart, to which he was conveyed, and under cold
water treatment he recovered in two days. He is now
in h.tter health than he has been for years, and he at-
tributes his recovery entirely to cold water. The use of
the wet sheet has always been represented by anti- hy-
dropathi,ts as most dangerous ; according to Sir Ed-
war,i's account, it must be the mildest of remedies. It is
in fact a very gentle continuous vapour bath, not attended
with the danger of the cold effusion so strenuously
recommended by the late Dr. Currie in cases of fever,
e,,1.1 infinitely more efficacious, as its action may with
'safety be kept up for any length of time. Every new
remedy suffers, perhaps, more from the exaggerations of
unrew;iiing bel•evers than from the attacks of the
sceptical. It is therefore no small advantage to have
the opinion of such a man as Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton
on the capabilities of hydropathy, more especially when
that opinion is founded on personal experience and
close observation. The subject is one of such vast im
portance that we offer no apology for the length of the
ibllowing extract.
4. It remains for me to say, merely as an observer, and solely
with such authority as an observer altogether disinterested, but
without the least pretence to professional science, may fairly
claim, what class of diseases I have seen least, and what most,
tractable to the operations of the water cure, and how far en-
thusiasts appear to me to have over-estimated, how far sceptics
have under-valued, the effects of water as a medicament.
There are those (most of the water doctors especially) who
&intend that all medicine by drags is unnecessary—that water
internally and outwardly applied suffices in skilful management
for all. complaints—that the time will come when the drug
doctor will cease to receive a fee, when the apothecary will
close his shop, and the water cure be adopted in every hospital
and by every family. Dreams and absurdities! Even grant-
ing that the water cure were capable of all the wonders
ascribed to it, its process is so slow in chronic cases—it usually
eequires such complete abstraction from care and business—it
takes the active man so thoroughly out of his course of life,
that a vast proportion of those engaged in worldly pursuits
cannot hope to find the requisite leisure. There are also a
krge number of complaints (perhaps the majority) which yield
so easily to a sparing use of drugs under a moderately
tcompe-
tent practitioner, that the convenient plan of sending
o the
next chemist for your pill or potion can never be superseded,
nor can I think it desirable that it should be. Moreover, as
far as I have seen, there are complaints curable by medicine
which the water cure utterly fails to reach.
" The disorders wherein hydropathy appears to me to be
least effectual are, first neuralgic pains, especially the monster
pain of the tic doloreux. Not one instance of a cure in the
latter by hydrop,thy has come under my own observation, and
I have only heard of one authentic case of recovery from it by
that process. Secondly, paralysis of a grave character in per-
sons of an advanced age. Thirdly, in tubercular consump-
tion. As may be expected, in this stage of that melancholy
disease, the water cure utterly fails to restore, but I have
known it even here prolong life, beyond all reasonable calcula-
tion, and astonishingly relieve the more oppressive symptoms.
In all cases where the nervous exhaustion is great and of long
standing, and is accompanied with obstinate hypochondria,
hydropathy, if successful at all, is very slow in its benefits, and
the patience of the sufferer is too often worn out before the
levee-able turn takes place. I have also noticed that obstinate
and
to yin maladies, in persons of very athletic frames,
seem to much more tardily to the water cure than similar
complaints in us2re delicate constitutions, so that you will
often see of two perso:''s afflicted by the same genera of cora-
cle one recover before the stout
plaints, the feeble and traZ
man with Atlantic shoulders evinces one symptom of
amelioration.
water cure
" Those cises, on the other hand, in which the
seems an absolute panacea, and in which the patient m 2.7 com-
mence with the most sanguine hopes, are, first, rheumatisni,
how ever prolonged, however complicated. In this the cure is
usually rapid—nearly always permanent. Secondly, gout.
Here its etlincy is little less startling to appearance than in the
former case; it seems to take up the disease by the roots ; it
extracts the peculiar acid, which often appears in discolora-
tions upon the sheets used in the application, or is ejected in
other modes. lipt here, judging always from cases subjected
to my personal keowledge, I have not seen instances to justify
the assertion of some water doctors, that returns of the disease
do not occur. The predisposition—the tendency, has ap-
peared to me to remain. The patient is liable to relapses—but
I have invariably found them far less frequent, less lengthened,
and readily susceptible of simple and speedy cure, especially if
the habits remain temperate.
" Thirdly,. that wide and grisly family of affliction classed
under the common name of dyspepsia. All derangements of
the digestive organs, imperfect powers of nutrition—the
malaise of an injured stomach, appear precisely the complaints
