THE DUKE OF CORNWALL, STEAMER, ON SHORE.--.
The Duke of Cornwall, steamer, from London for Fal-
mouth and Dublin, got on shore on Sunday morning at
four o'clock in Gerrans Bay, near the Gull Rock. The
mate was dispatched to the agents for assistance to get,
her off, and a lighter was immediately sent.

LONDON CORN

MARKET,

YESTERDAY,

At the close of last week wheat met with an increased demand
at an advance of 3s. per qr., and large transactions reported.
The weather has become most splendid for the growing crops,
notwithstanding which our market opened this morning with
good spirit, and English wheat soon cleared at an advance of
4s. to ss. per qr. over the currency of this day week.
A large attendance of country buyers caused a considerable
business to be done in foreign at the improvement noted on
Friday—say 2s. to 3s. dearer than last Monday. American
flour fully Is. per barrel higher.
Grinding Barley in better request. No change in Malt or
Peas. English Beans in short supply, at an advance of 2s.
The supplies of foreign Oats being but moderate, and having
an increased country demand, this article obtained fully 6d. to
Is. advance on last week's quotations, with an improved sale.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET,

YESTERDAY

There was,.compared with that exhibited on Monday last, a
considerable increase to-day in the number of home-fed Beasts
on sale, owing to which, and the prevailing hot weather, the
Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at a decline on the
quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of quite 2d. per 81b.
The numbers of Sheep were considerably on the increase,
hence the Mutton trade was extremely depressed, and the
currencies declined from 2d. to 4d. per 81b.
With Lambs we were well supplied. All breeds met a very
dull inquiry, at a reduction in value of 2d. per 81b. ; the ex-
treme range of value of the best Down qualities not exceeding
6s. per 81b.
The sale for Calves, the supply of which was small, ruled
heavy at last week's figures.

Pigs moved off slowly, but prices were mostly supported,

Mr. Jessop, of Mount Jessop, high sheriff of the county
of Longford, intends to resign that office preparatory to
starting for the representation as a red-hot repealer.
LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING.—ID railway shares
there was not much busiuess done, the early closing of
the market interfering in a degree with the ordinary course
of affairs, but prices nevertheless show an increasing
tendency towards depression.

THE LAST MAIL 'COACH.—The north mail coach ar-
rived at the Queen's Head Inn, in this town, yesterday
(Monday) afternoon, for the last time, having being su-
perseded by the railway, now complete. A flag, sur-
mounted with crape, was hoisted on the coach roof, as a
public intimation of the event.—Newcastle Advertiser.

WHEAT, &C., RETURNS.—The excess of the imports.
over the exports of wheat and wheat flour, amounted
in the half-year ended the sth of June last to 1,067,930
qrs., against 1,104,844 qrs. in the half-year ended the sth
of June, 1846. The excesses of the imports of barley
and oats amounted respectively in the half-year ended.
the sth of June last, to 534,295 qrs. and 478,664 qrs.
HULL.—Mr. M. T. Barnes, recorder of the borough,
has been requested to come forward for this borough_
The requisition was signed by parties of all shades of po-
litics and all denominations of religionists. He has con-
sented. He is opposed to the endowment of Romish.
priests. If elected, he will resign his post as recorder.
MALDON.—On Tuesday last Mr. Lennard made his
first appearance at Maldon as one of the candidates at the
ensuing election. Messrs. Dick and Waddington have
canvassed the town, and met with such success as to con-
vince them that their success is certain. They are still
canvassing, and are determined to pay their personal re-
spects to every voter within the seven miles.—Essex
Standard.

THE NEW FACTORY ACT.—So far as we can learn, no•
attempt has been made by any of the manufacturers of
this town to reduce the wages. of their hands in conse-
quence of the new act, limiting the hours of employing
young persons and women to not more than eleven hours
per day, having come into operation. This is a gratifify-
mg circumstance, and is as honourable to the employers
as it is satisfactory to the work-people.—Leeds Intel&
gencer.

PLUNDERING OF GRAIN ON THE IRISH COAST.--•
Letters received from Westport and Sligo, dated Thuri-
day, state respectively that the Ranger, from Liverpool,
had been plundered of 150 barrels of Indian meal, and
that the ship Richard Watson, from New York, had been
boarded and robbed of 1,000 bushels of corn. Govern-
ment ought to suppress these depredations, which are
carried on to a most serious and frequent extent on the
coast of the sister island.
PRINCE WALDEMAR.—OR Saturday the East India
Company gave a most sumptuous entertainment to Prince
Waldemar, of Prussia, at the London Tavern. The en-
tertainment was most splendid. The chairman of the East
India Company presided, surrounded by many distinguished
personages, including Lord John Russell, and other mi-
nisters and noblemen, British and foreign. Many elo-
quent and appropriate speeches were delivered, and the
whole went off with the greatest eclat.
_ _ _ _

' It appears that Mr. More O'Ferrall, not the least effi-
cient of the Irish members, has signified his intention of
retiring from the representation of the county of Kildare.
The Carlow Sentinel states, that Mr. C. Roberts, and
not the Marquis of Kildare, will be a candidate, along
with Mr. Bourke, jun., of Hayes, and Mr. Archbold, one
of the present members. However, it is generally be-
lieved that Lord Kildare will stand for the county with
the almost certainty of his election.
UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.OXVORD, JULY 10.—
In a convocation held this day the following gentlemen
—Rev. Frederick M. Walter,
Cambridge; Rev. John WU-

liamson, M.A., St. John's College, Cambridge ; Rev_
William Henry Hill, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge ;
Edward D. Mac Dermot, B.Med., Trinity College, Dub-
illiam Abiah Newman, M.A., Trinity Col-
At the same time the following degrees

Newcomb, oriel. Bachelors of Arts—Villiers Charnocke
Smith, Fellow of New College : Augustus Frederick
Westmacott, Merton ;. John Denman, Lincoln.

LINCOLN.—The present members, Colonel Sibthorp
and Mr. W. Bickford Collett, are engaged in an active
canvass of the city, as are also their opponents at the last
general election, Sir Bulwer Lytton, Bart., and Mr.
Charles Seely, " the citizen candidate." All four parties

are acting independently of each other. In consequence
of a paragraph copied from a local print into most of the
public papers, giving the name of Mr. Weston Cracroft
as one of ten candidates talked of, that gentleman has

published a letter stating that he never
offerinr himself as a candidate. Some other names were

also introduced with just as little foundation.
BATH.-Mr. Roebuck and Lord Ashley are on the
ground in hot competition. A rumour, however, pre-
vailed that the learned gentleman was to be appointed to
the judgeship of Bombay, which had somewhat subdued
the zeal of his friends. We, however, find the following
in t} Glob • f I ference to a par—

-ne wuoe o .enday retet,
which appeared in the Morning Chronicle, stating that.
in the event of Mr. D. Pollock retiring from the Chief
Justiceship of Bombay, Mr. Roebuck will succeed him,
we are authorised to state that Mr. Roebuck will not ac-
cept any appointment which will require him to leave the
House of Commons."

evils shall be effectually removed. We ask too much of
any one, and particularly of the young, when we charge
them to retain their purity of heart, their regcrd for de-
dencency of manners and propriety of conduct, while com-
pelled to associate in close connection with characters by
whom the common decencies of life are neither observed
nor valued. We ask too much of human nature, and
especially of the unhealthy, the over-worked, and the
feeble in constitution of either mind or body, when we
require them to retain their strict mastery over their tem-
pers, passions, dishonest or selfish propensities, when
pressed on every hand,irritated, tempted, or wronged by the
tempers,passions,dishonest:or selfish propensities of others
—pressed, too, without the possibility of escape, at all
times, and all seasons, in sickness, in sorrow, in want,
and in shame—without a hiding-place, without & shelter,
except what has to be struggled for at the risk of dispossek-
sion —without food, except what is grudged, envied, and
sometimes stolen, by those who are more hungry than
themselves—greedy from sheer destitution, and spiteful

from the very soreness of unmitigated suffering—yet
crowded together as in:a pest-house, the injured and the
injurer, the hated and the hater. Oh ! we know not the
acuteness, the frequency, and the bitterness of those
trials with which the poor are so sorely beset, or we
should be more pitiful to their faults, and more attentive
to their strong claims upon our efforts to relieve them at
least from some of their physical disqualifications for be-.
coming better citizens, and more contorted and peaceable
members of society.—Prevention better than Cure, B(e.,

to refer to the advertisement of the Licensed Victuallers'
