tine again lower, 700 brls. sold at los 6cl to lis 6d
per cwt. Of American Rosin, 750 brls. sold at
4s 6d to 103 per cwt. Rather more done in Olive

Oils, about 40 tons pale Seal, off the Quay, sold at
£32 per ton. Seed Oils more inquired for, and
about 60 tons pale Rape sold at 35s to 36s per cwt.
The transactions in Palm Oil were again extensive,
amounting to 500 tons on the spot, at £36 10s to
£37 103, and 2,500 to arrive at £35 to 37s lOs per
ton. Tallow advanced 33 to 3s 6d per cwt., Peters-
burg Y.C. having been sold at 51s 3d up to 545,
and fine South American, at 50s to 51s 6d per cwt.
Baltic Hemp, notwithstanding warlike rumours,
was difficult of sale. Nothing worth notice in Jute.
—To-DAY, the Sugar market keeps quiet, and we
have only to notice 90 hhds. Barbadoes at 325. to
375. 6d., 450 bags -Cossipore at 41s. 9d, and 2,500
bags Paraiba, in bond, at 19s per cwt. No sales of
Molasses, and of Rum only a small parcel of De-
merara reported at full prices. A moderate demand
for Tea by private contract ; at a sale of 2,300 pack-
ages, the damaged portion sold rather lower; for
the sound there was no bidding near the market
rates, particularly for fine Greens. The Bengal
Rice offered by auction was chiefly withdrawn; but,
by private sale, 230 bags and 800 pockets broken
brought lOs to lOs 6d, and 25 tierces Carolina 245.

prices, and 80 tons St. Domingo Logwood at £5 ss.
per ton. _

WooL.—The inactive state of our Wool market,
as noted for some weeks back, still prevails ; yet
there is no curtailment in the consumption, and
manufacturers will shortly be compelled to enter
the market more freely. We do not expect to see
any particular change until the close of the London
sales, which are advertised to commence on Thurs-
day, and expected to comprise from 50,000 to
60,000 bales Australian, from the fact that all
parties are still disposed to purchase as sparingly as
possible. We cannot quote any material alteration
in price, which must be considered as almost no-
minal. English : The prices in these Wools have
given way since April more than other descriptions,
and the farmers who held for higher rates then
will have to content themselves with considerably
less. Irish : Good average parcels are bringing
from 20s. to 21s. per stone.

CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH AT LIVERPOOL.

The election of two representatives for Liverpool, in
the place of Messrs. Turner and Forbes Mackenzie, to-
wards which the eyes of all England had been turned for
the last three weeks, terminated yesterday in the tri-
umphant return of the Hon. Henry Thos. Liddell and
Mr. Thomas Berry Horsfall. Whether considered in re-
ference to the extent and influence of that great port, and
the numbers, intelligence, and high standing of the con-
stituency, or the eminence, high political character, and
experience of the gentlemen who have been selected as
the objects of their choice, the result is exceedingly grati-
fying, and affords a Conservative triumph which, while it
honours Liverpool, will not be lost upon the rest of the
empire, or even be without its influence in the legislature.
The victory is the greater inasmuch as the Hon. Mr.
Liddell, until, at the invitation of the merchant princes
of that great port, he presented himself for their suf-
frages, was personally unknown to the constituency. But
his high political character and abilities, stamped by his
parliamentary services over a great number of years as
the representative of Northumberland and North Durham
had preceded him, and the cordial reception which he
experienced in Liverpool hourly augmented in enthusiasm
till the poll yesterday returned him a representative for
that great constituency by the glorious majority of nearly
a thousand. The election has excited the greatest interest
in this town and neighbourhood, and the success of Mr.
Liddell has elicited universal joy. It could scarcely have
entered into the calculations of the Liberal Mr. Ingham,
that in helping, as the chairman of the Liverpool Election
Committee, to oust the sitting members, he was creating
a vacancy to be filled by his late opponent at South
Shields ; as little, probably, did the Liverpool Liberals
expect their paltry success on that petition to be followed
by a more signal defeat at the polling booths than any
they have yet experienced. Leaving them to their cha-
grin, we congratulate both electors and elected on the
Conservative triumph they have achieved, and express the
universal gratification which pervades these northern
counties that the Hon. H. T. Liddell has achieved the
distinction of being elected, and now occupying the posi-
tion he is so well entitled to fill, as one of the able and
estimable representatives of the first commercial port of
the empire and, indeed, of the world .—Neweastlefaurnal.

THE aggregate value of the Liverpool tea trade, last
year, is stated to have been £1,000,000 ex duty.
TRALEE ELECTION.—Mr. Thomas Fitzgerald, Q.C.,
made a bad fight of it at Tralee on Wednesday. He
polled but 10 votes, to 150 for Mr. Daniel O'Connell, who
was declared duly elected.
THE MARCHIONESS OF ANGLESEY died on Friday
morning. after a very brief illness, from which dangerous
results were nor anticipated until a short time before her
death.

CHOBHAM.—The Beveral regiments now encamped at
Chobham Common, will move on Thursday next, and the
regiments ordered to form the new encampment will ar-
rive and occupy the ground on the same day.

REPRESENTATION OF WEST CORNWALL.—The high
sheriff has fixed Monday next for the election of a mem-
ber for West Cornwall, rendered vacant by the death of
Mr. Pendarves. The only candidate at present is Kr.
Michael Williams, of Trevince.
THE ROYAL SQUADRON.—In consequence of the ill-
ness of Prince Albert, and the postponement of Her Ma-
jestv's visit to Ireland, the yachts and men-of-war ordered
to Holyhead have been ordered to return to their respec-
tive ports. _

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A letter from Prague of the
30th of June says :—" Dr. Ginti, inspector of the electric
telegraphs of Bohemia, has just invented an apparatus by
which two different messages can be simultaneously trans-
mitted by the same electric wires. A number of trials of
the plan have been made here, and the success has been
complete."
PRIESTLY RUFFIAN/SNI.— VP. Cullinan, a Rornish
priest at Bristol, and Martin Foley, a member of his con-
gregation, appeared at the sessions i❑ answer to a charge
of assault on the Portuguese Consul at Bristol, and was
found guilty. Cullinan was sentenced to pay a fine of
£5, and Foley a fine of £2, and to be imprisoned till it
should be paid.
THE MURDER OF MR. BATESON.—The assizes for
Monaghan were opened on Friday. The state of the
county, as depicted by the calendar and the informations
laid before the judges, is very bad indeed. Ten persons
are in custody, charged—two as principal and eight as ac-
cessories—with conspiring to murder Mr. Batson ; and
one person is charged as principal, and eleven as acces-
sories in the conspiracy to murder Mr. French, agent to
the Marquis of Bath.
THE STACKPOOLE MURDER.—The Clare assizes were
opened on Tuesday. The most important case was that
of Thomas Stackpoole, brother to Richard, brother-in-
law to Honore, and husband to Bridget Stackpoole, all
three of whom were executed last April for the murder
of their relative. The survivinc, prisoner was not tried
at the last assizes owing to the dangerous state of his
health ; and his trial is again postponed for the same
reason. The wretched man has been kept alive since
March last by stimulants, and ever since he has been
confined to his bed. He is about 65 years of age.
SLIGO ELECTION.—A narrow escape had Mr. Sadleir on
Thursday. He is now representative for this independent
borough. A lucky man, certainly, is my Lord of the
Treasury, to have only James Patrick Somers, Esq., to
deal with. Heretofore this gentleman was never beaten
at an election in Sligo, that he did not retaliate upon his
victor by a petition, on which he was certain of success.
Now, though a petition would unseat Mr. Sadleir, Mr.
Somers will not prosecute one; and why we shall not tell
yet ; but we may insinuate, that Mr. Somers is about to
devote his high talents to the service of his country.—
The numbers polled were—For Sadleir, 115; for Somers,
141—majority, 4.
THREATENING THE PREMIER.—On Thursday, at Bow-
street Police-court, Thomas Whitehead, described as an
artist, was charged with sending a threatening letter to
the Earl of Aberdeen. It contained a rambling statement
of grievances, and supposed injuries from Government,
and concluded with the statement, that if Lord Aberdeen
did not comply with his request, he would be "goaded
to do that which his soul abhorred." The examination
failed to elicit more than that the defendant was watched
by the detective police, and the soldiers at the back of
tne National Gallery. Mr. Henry, the magistrate, di-
rected that the prisoner should be removed to St. Giles's
workhouse, for the present. The prisoner, some time
ago, went to Jersey, to avoid the detective police, but
fancying himself still pursued by them there, he returned
to London. He looks about fifty years old.
" A PIGEON."—On Tuesday, in the Common Pleas, an
action was tried—" Simmonds v. Parkinson"—to recover
the amount of various bills of exchange, amounting to
between £3,000 and £4,000. The defendant, " a fast
young man," came into possession of about £lO,OOO last
October. The plaintiff, a Jew innkeeper, horse-dealer,
and jeweller, sold him " fast trotters" and trinkets to a
large amount, for which, in part, the bills were given.
Amongst the jewellery were a bracelet and armlet given
to a " lady." The horses were " shams," and, in some
cases, their legs were painted. The Lord Chief Justice
characterised the parties as " fool and knave,"—suggested
that the " lady" had been " planted" on the defendant.
and intimated a suspicion that the bills were tainted with
fraud. A verdict for the defendant was returned by the
jury, amidst loud applause from a crowded court.

ENLISTMENT OF LORD ERNEST VANE, SON OF THE
MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY.—A good deal of surprise
was occasioned on Friday, by the announcement that
Lord Ernest Vane, youngest son of the Marquis of Lon-
donderry, had enlisted in the 4th Royal Irish Dragoons.
It appears that the noble lord has been, for some time
past, staying in the neighbourhood of Winchester, as a
pupil in the house of a clergyman, and, on Thursday last,
came to town by the South Western Railway, accompa-
nied by his groom, and proceeded at once to Charles-
street, where he fell in with a recruiting serjeant, with
whom he enlisted, and then tried hard to induce the
groom to follow his example; but without effect. The
servant returned to Winchester, and communicated the
extraordinary news to the family, and the electric tele-
graph was resorted to ; but the information reached the
noble marquis too late. The noble lord and a party of
recruits were regularly attested at Rochester-row Police-
court, on Friday, and, although some of the authorities
at the magistrates' office recognized him, he said his mind
was made up. He gave the name of " Ernest Smith,"
and started with his comrades for Dublin. His lordship
is in his nineteenth year, about five feet ten inches in
height, stout and well wade, and appears at present re-
salved to follow out his ueily-adopted carcer.-,,Oserver.
