At this day's market there was a fair show of English Wheat,
which realised a further advance of is. to 2s. over the currency
of this day week. In free foreign there was a moderate extent

A large supply of foreign Barley, and a strong opinion gain-

and but little progress could be made in sales without yielding
to lower prices.

nothing but ignorance on the part of the public of its great
benefits would prevent its full redemption and its ample sup-
port. No one could visit the institution, and witness the gra-
titude of the patients, and the delight of themselves and their
relations on the restoration to sight, without the warmest
feelings in its behalf. Were the facts but known, he felt
assured the public would come forward and promote its use-
fulness. From what they had heard of the number of patients
from public works, foundries, &c., he thought it would be well
to apply to the owners of those establishments. They were
under great obligations to Mr. James Ho!me, who had"kindly
devoted much of his time to the new infirmary, and to whom
was, to a great extent, due the superiority of the present
arrangements.

relative to the patients received into the house, or otherwise
relieved, during the past year. Fifty-one had been admitted as
in-patients, and carefully attended to until recovery. Amongst
the cases were many of peculiar interest ; but, he dwelt, in
order to save the time of the meeting, upon three of them only.
The first was that of a young married woman, of twenty-three
years of age, (wife of an industrious mechanic,) and of amiable
disposition. She was about to become a mother, and was
greatly distressed at ker bereavement. She was, in fact, nearly
broken-hearted, and was delighted when she heard the word
"hope" pronounced. Mr. 'Neill ventured to operate with-
out delay, upon both her eyes, and she bore it well. She
can now see, is in lively spirits, and looks with pleasure to
the time when she shall be a happy mother. In cases of dis-
eases of the eye, the charity had never been so successful as
in 1846. Three thousand five hundred and ten individuals, all
suffering from disease raw or less serious to the eyes, had been
under treatment. The eardepartment had been equally effici-
ent. Last year, an old lady called upon him. She had been
from infancy deaf upon one side, and for twenty years deaf upon
the other. She could not hear a word. After an operation the
old lady left, saving, "Do not speak so loud, Sir; I am not
deaf I" Mr. Neill, it appeared, succeeded equally well in the
case of a clergyman, who had long been deaf, and who is now
restored to the social pleasures of the fireside, of which he w,
before deprived. Several other interesting cases were

that of Sarah Barlow, from Hawardi.n, who was recommended
by our present Mayor and his lady. In this instance an artifi-
cial pupil was curiously formed and the light admitted. Mr.
