HULL MARKET.--June 23.
Since our last a good deal of rain his fallen, which will
materially benefit the coming crop, especiary of spring
corn ; this, added to the dull declining markets in the
West of Yorkshire, and Lancashire, has caused a lifeless
and inanimate mat ket here tc-lay, with vrry fevibus7n,ss
transactions passing. The supply of farmers' Wheat was
small, but still sufficient for the demand, and the best
qualities may be noted 2s. to Bs. per quarter lower than
last week, with little or no demand for the secondary qua-
lities : tht.re was a liberal show of samples of foreign
from granary, which were offered ineffectually, at a si-
milar decline. Old. and the middling qualities, are for
the present neglected; indeed, there is an unaccountable
panic pc,rvading the markets generally just now. For
Oats, Deans, and Barley, either free or in bond, we have
no inquiry to-day, we therefore do not alter our quota- •
tions, :int! note them same as last week. We have not
much of either Rapesezd or Linseed offering, and prices
as lit week.

CATTI.V.-The number of Cattle on the Sands to-day
was 1126, of which not above 150 were left over. The
prices are still considered law, but business was done more
freely to-day than it could be four weeks since.

In a certain company, a clergyman was quoting
the text, in reference to himself, that " goodue•s and
mercy had followed him all his days." " Then I hope
they may get into your company soon," said a farmer, who
had been a good deal persecuted by him.
HUR RICAN E.—The oldest person living in
Huddersfield cannot remember so violent a hurricane as
that which took place there on Saturday week, about three
in the afternoon. Suddenly, the whole town was filled
with an overwhelming cloud of dust, which apparently
came from every point of the compass. For about five
minutes it was so dense that the people on one side of a
street could not see the opposite houses, and passengers
in the streets were in danger of suffocation. In the cir-
cumjacent villages it was equally violent. At Taylor Bill,
near Lockwood, a large quantity of dyed wool, which was
spread out to dry, was all carried away and not a lock of it
recovered.— York C,traut.

UNIQUE lIEBREW MANUSCRIPT.—The
Literati are likely to be highly interested with an original
ancient manuscript, of the Pentateuch, now in the posses-
sion of Mr. SAM, of Darlington, Durham. It is of goat-
skin leather, in two volumes, and measures two feet wide
and sixty-nine feet long. Each sheet of skin is divided
into pages, five inches and-a-half in width. The letters
are very large, and not only most beautifully written, but
ornamented with a number of tagin or coronal. The an
tiquity of this MS. may be itferred by its being written
on leather—a circumstance which would hardly have taken
place after the invention of vellum was made. It is be-
lieved to be fifteen hundred yArs old, and has been above
eight hundred years in one Jewish family, on the Conti-
nent, from whence it has recently been procured under the
most interesting circumstances. During the calamities
which followed the train of BONAPARTE'S wars, a Jewish
family of opulence was reduced to utter ruin, and compelled
to emigrate. They came to Holland in their exile, and
were there so very much reduced as to be obliged to pledge,
as their last resource, this precious treasure of their laws,
under a limitation of a considerable time for its redemp-
tion. The time expired, the pledge was not redeemed,
and the property was sold in Holland by the person who
lent his money on it. It has been preserved with the
gieatest care, in a rich cover fringed with a fine silk.
The rollers on which the MS. runs, arc composed of
beautiful mahogany. It has been seen by a number of
Hebrew scholars and Jews, and it is generally thought to
be the most ancient copy of the five Books of Moses in
existence.
