TILE ROYAL SQUADRON was off Holyhead at half-past
eight o'clock this ('Tuesday) morning.

The arrival of £ICO 000 specie from the United States
Was larger than was anticipated, under the present adverse
state of the New York Stcck Market. The supply of gold
111 Lentlon is now considerable, end it is expected that the
_Mater

portion instead of being sent to the continent, as

'fuld its way to the Eank of England.

OVERLAND MAIL.
TRIESTE, MONDAY.— The steamer Bombay arrived at
239 pan., in 111 hours from Alexandria. The Indian
Marl had arrived at Alexandriawith dates from Calcutta
to the 16th of July ; Bombay, July 20 ; Hong Kong, July 7.
The King of Ava, being starved into subnission, had
sued for peace, set the British prisoners at liberty, and
requested that the river blockade might cease. The
Governor-General had assented and proclaimed peace,
although a formal treaty had not been concluded. Trade
in India was dull. The markets easy.
In China the imperialist force had attempted to regain
Kiang Foo, but without success, notwithstanding foreign
aid. The markets were dull.

ODESSA, AUGUST 12.—The news of the state of the
London Corn Market caused a very active business, but
the demand had slackened. The general purchases were
for the Mediterranean, it being considered certain that

the crops in Italy, and the south of France, were decidedly
and seriously deficient. The scarcity of shipping was felt
to a serious extent, and freights had risen enormously.

LONDON STOCK AND SHARE MARKET
THE FUNDS.— Consols for Account oc

been made in cutting grain, and we are now of course
dependant upon the weather for the saving of our crops.
By all accounts the harvest in France will prove seriously
deficient. This is sufficiently evidenced by an extensive
renewed demand for Wheat and Flour for that country,
which has extended itself to this port ; and, in addition to
purchases for export to France, a very extensive specula-
tive business has been done, at the close of the week and
yesterday, at a steady advance of 3d. to 4d. per 701 b. on
Wheat, and ls. to ls. 3d. per barrel on Flour. The
high range of prices in the markets of the Mediter-
ranean, the great competition thereby caused against this
country for supply, and not least the excessive rates
of freights and scarcity of shipping, threaten to tell seri-
ously for some months against the expectation of a reason-
able quantity of Wheat finding its way from the Black Sea
and Danube, in the direction of the United Kingdom ; this
country is, therefore, at length becoming alive to the
situation in which a limited Foreign supply would place
us; and between speculative investments, and the increa-
sing demands of the trade for consumption, our prices
are naturally enhancing. The American markets are
slightly higher ; about 16,000 barrels Flour, and 720,000
bushels Wheat were exported for Liverpool in the week
ending 6th August, and their fine crops of this year's
harvest promise to afford us a continuance of a fair extent
of shipments. Our fresh arrivals of Wheat and Flour on
the week are most abundant, and chiefly from the United
States, with some quantity of the former and of Indian
Corn from various parts of Europe and the Black Sea.
There was a very good attendance of buyers at this
morning's market, and a considerable amount of hnainaea

was doing both in Wheat and Flour, at an advance of sd.
per 701 b. on the former, and ls. 6d. to 2s. per barrel on
the latter, on the prices of this day week. Indian Corn
was about ls. per qr. dearer. Other articles were without
alteration.

A. ROBINSON and CO.,

INJUNCTION IN CHANCERY. Mr. LAW-
RENCE HALL begs to inform his Friends that he has
been again obliged to proceed against another Starch Manu-
facturer for infringing upon his rights, and has this day ob-
tained an Injunction against Messrs. Curtis Brothers and Co..
of Poplar-street. Nottingham. (See Time:, July 22, 1853.)
IMPORTANT CAUTION.—The Patentee respectfully in-
forms the Public and Dealers that his Starch continues to be
manufactured upon the principle that has obtained for it such
a decided preference over all others. And, notwithstanding
the many art'cles that are made in imitation of it, the supe-
riority of this Starch is best proved by the fact that other
starch makers not only pirate and imitate the manufacturer's
label, but actually forge his name. Lawrence Hall has now,
however, obtained injunctions against several makers of these
spurious imitations, and parties selling such are liable to an
action for damages ; and unprincipled dealers, who, for the
sake
_ ke of gain, will buy and vend the spurious starch, to the
injury of the fair trader, will not deceive his customers by such
impositions. Purchasers are, therefore, requested to ask for
LAWRENCE HALL'S PATENT STARCH.
And also observe that every package of the genuine article
to caution the public against being imposed upon, as
has a fac simile of his
signature upon the label. It is neces-
sary
there are so many makers of starch, under the names of
powder starch, soluble starch, glaze starch, rice starch, patent
white starch, &c., the greater proportion of which are no-
thing more or less than potato starch. And most people are
aware that starch made from potatoes is very weak and deft-
dent in body, and consequently cannot be granulated. hence
follows that it is sold in a state of powder •, and, from its
attracting moisture from the atmosphere, it does not retain
its stiffening qualities for any length of time,
a quality for
which the patentee's starch stands so unrivalled.
Ask for LAWRENCE HALL'S PATENT STARCH.

GREAT FIRE AT THE GUTTA

BURGLARIES.
THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere pleasure in
communicating to their Friends and the Public the following
new endorsements to the claims of their HOLDFAST and

well he conceived from the nature of its food. Gutta Percha,

"Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool, Bth June, 1853.
" GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indeibteeto your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering
attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow• hill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.
"Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."
