LIVERPOOL WOOL SALES.

On Friday last, the first public sales of Australian wool, of
tho new clip, took place here, when 1538 bales were offered,
and all sold. There was an excellent attendance of buyers,
and a spirited bidding throughout. The condition of a good
part was excellent, and the prices obtained are as under:-
1000 bales sold by Buchanan and Browne, viz:
193 bales good to fine clothing and s. d. s. d.
combing, at
432 bales fair ditto and ditto, and some
good lamb's
r
322 bales mid. clothing and combing 1 9 1 111 „
23 bales low ditto, in poor condition 1 7 1 8 „
30 bales in the grease and refuse
Averaging 2s. id. per lb.
459 bales sold by Mr. A. Gartside, from 101. per lb. in the
grease, up to 2s. 2d., averaging Is. 841. per lb.
146 bales sold by Messrs. Edwards, Danson, and Co., from
Is. Lld. in the grease, up to 2s. 01d., averaging Is. lOid. per lb.
33 bales sold by Messrs. Knowles and Richards, front ls. 71.
to Is. 101 d., averaging Is. 84d. per lb.
The result of these sales established an advance of fully 25
per cent. in comparison with the prices of similar qualities
sold in 1837, at the lowest point of depression, being a good
proof of the present healthy state of trade in the manufactur-
ing districts.
£here were also sold, 146 bales of Portugal, at IH. to
Is. 41d. ; 400 bales of East India, at 23d. for very ordinary
qualities, up to 94d. per lb. for fine; 2uo bales of Cordova,
Buenos Ayres, common low sorts, 24d. to 61.; second quality
Merino, Bd. to Is. 21. and fine ls. 4d. to 2s. per lb.; 50 bales
Turkey, from 2d. to 6d.; a few good lamb's, 94d. per lb. ;
and 15 bales of Cape, at ls. 11d. to Is. 91d. per lb.; being at
prices fully equal to recent sales.

Woo n SALE.—We perceive that a very large Wood sale
is announced to take place on the Bth. We draw the atten-
tion of buyers and consumers to it. It is gratifying to per-
ceive that Liverpool enjoys so large a share in this important
branch of traffic.
GREAT GEORGE BATHS.—The spirited proprietor of this
establishment has, in addition to his various vapour and
medicated baths, added one of the artificial sea-water, an
instance of attention to public accommodation which we
trust will be duly appreciated.
NEW SOUTII .WALES.—The trade between this port and
New South Wales is rapidly increasing ; there are now load-
ing eight vessels for Hobart Town, Sydney, and South
Australia, and all of them have good accommodations for
passengers.

LESCHARMES DE LA VARIETE.—This is a very neat, and
cleverly written little work, and will be found a useful com-
panion in either the ball-room or private party. The figures
of the dances are clearly described, and do the arranger, Mr.
Edgar Webster, much credit.—{lt is not, perhaps, generally
known that Mr. W. is brother to Mr. Webster, the comedian,
and lessee of the Haymarket Theatre.]
THEATRE- ROYAL.—The English vocalists, Miss Shirreff
and Messrs. Stretton, Wilson, and Manvers, have been very
well received, drawing good houses. The opera of "Fra
Diavolo" has been twice produced with considerable eclat;
and last evening, the opera of " La Sonnambula" was
brought out—Amino by Miss Shirreff. Dowton is announced
to appear on Monday next, when, of course, fresh novelties,
suited to his line of characters, will be produced.
WALTON FRIENDLY SOcIETY.—On Monday, the 18th in-
stant, the Walton Friendly Society held their annual feast.
In the morning they met together, and marched in regular
order, with Joliffe's excellent band at their head, to the re-
sidence of the Rev. Thomas Moss, their wor thy neighbour and
vicar, who joined them, and proceeded to the church, where
the rev. gentleman preached an admirable sermon from the
7th ch. St. Matthew, "'Therefore, all things whatso-
ever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to
them; for this is the law and the prophets." After leaving
church they went in marching order to see their neighbouts
at Bootie. On their return they were met at the gate leading
to the hospitable mansion of George 'Wright, Esq., by two of
his sons, with each a banner, who conducted them to the
house, where they were regaled with some " real double
brown stout,'' the band playing several national airs, and the
society singing several loyal songs; after which they pro-
ceeded to the inn called the " Brown Cow," in Walton,
where the worthy hostess, Mrs. Sherwood, provided them with
a dinner composed of true John Bull luxuries, YIZ., roast beef
and plum-pudding. Many loyal !oasts were responded to
during the evening, and Wright's real sparkling stingo was
pushed round to a late hour, when the company separated in
good humour.
FRODSIIAM AND NORLEY BAZAAR.—The object of this
splendid Bazaar, to be held 2nd August, is to raise funds fur
the support of the National School for Girls, at Frodsham,
and the building and supporting a Sunday School, in Nor-
ley, in the same parish. No design can better accord with
the feelings of any religious heart; and we feel confident
that the utmost benevolence will be displayed on this occa-
sion. Articles of taste and vertu for the curious and fash-
ionable are always abundant at these repositories, and fre-
quently disposed of at very low prices—and as one grand
inducement beyond the noble and highly respected pa-
tronage with which it is honoured, this Bazaar has to
boast of a splendid " State Portrait of our lovely Maiden
Queen," in a richly carved gilt frame, the original cost of
which being FORTY GUINEAS, is to be disposed of by way
of lottery, at 2s. 6d. a ticket, thus judiciously affording
every one who may please, a chance of becoming the fortu-
nate possessor;, there are also numerous other novelties
which we have not space to enumerate; the refreshments
will be in abundance. Stubbs' celebrated band is engaged
—steam packets from Liverpool and Northwich are to arrive
at Frodsham-bridge in the morning, and return in the even-
ing; conveyances will also ineet the Grand Junction trains
at Preston Brook. On the evening of Friday, the 3d of
August, a grand miscellaneous concert will take place under
the management of Messrs. Holden, Stubbs, and Brown, of
the Liverpool and Manchester concerts, who, in the most
handsome manner, have offered their services gratuitously.
Conscious of the religious and charitable feeling which pre-
dominates at this time, in the neighbourhood, we augur that
the exertions of the committee of ladies and talented coad-
jutors will be amply compensated by a receipt of funds ade-
quate to their most sanguine desires. —See Advt.
CRICKET.—On Monday and Thursday mornings last the
return match was played between the Oxford and Telegraph
Cricket Clubs; the former winning by six wickets to go
down.

CORRESPONDENCE.

ST. JAMES'S MARKET.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIP-BRPOOL ST4NI4RD.
wish, through the medium of your valuable co-
lumns to ask a question or two relative to the state of things
in St. James's Market.
1. Is it generally known that the extra bench placed in the
principal avenue of the above market, for the exclusive use
of country people, is nearly occupied by huxters ? •
2. Is it generally known these huxters pay only Id. per
basket, and that farmers pay 2d. ?
3. Is not this a scheme of the huxters, that they may palm
off their stuff as direct from the country'?
4. Has not the fact of the farmer paying double for his
baskets much of injustice in appearance ?
5. Cannot this state of things be reformed?
Yours, &c., PAUL PRY.
