LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 25.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Our supplies have continued very moderate since Tuesday last,
chiefly owing to a continuance of easterly winds; part of the
Wheat coastwise is of foreign growth, and very useful to our
millers and dealers and for export to Ireland,*for all which, how-
ever, the demand has been very Milted during the past week ; but
the prices of Wheat, and of every other article in the trade, as
quoted this day week, has been fully supported here and in all our
country markets.
The only alteration in the duties on grain from foreign ports
since Friday last, is an increase of is 6d per quarter on Rye ; we
have again to notice a few thousand barrels of American Flour
having been sold on the passage at 30s, and some parcels have
changed hands, lying here, at SOS 6d; and in retail quantities, for
export, at 315 to 3 s 6d per barrel in bond; Grain in bond continues
nominally as free, all owing the duties.
The weather during 'almost the whole of January, and up to the
10th instant. was very wet and unfavourable for the winter seed
time, but it has been dry and very severely frosty ever since, with-
out snow, and still continues much more favourable for agricultural
operations.
The average price of Wheat for this town appears last week 2os
8d per quarter higher than in the one preceding ; but these ex-
treme variations in our averages may proceed from the demand
running alternately on the finest English, or on the inferior Irish
Wheat, and not from fraudulent or incorrect returns.
At This Day's market there- was again only a moderate demand
for every article in the trade, at fully the prices of last Tuesday.
and in some instances for particular qualities of Wheat a small
advance was obtained.

ing, have been cured in the course of a week by the use of
these Drops. In the Hooping and Chincoughs it will be

ROCHDALE FLANNEL. MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. 24.—
There has been some little improvement in the market to-day,
as compared with last Monday's ; rather more pieces have
been sold, but there is no change in the prices. The wool
market has been rather flat, and prices stationary.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. 25.—This market has
been much the same as for two or three weeks past—dull and
inanimate. Buyers were more numerous ; but the demand
was very limited, and prices still ruinously low. Generally
speaking, we seldom knew the prospects for spring trade so
discouraging.-11Canchester Guardian.
BARNSLEY.—The general business of this town now as-
sumes a very dreary aspect. Since the announcement of the
liabilities of one'of our principal manufacturers, whose failure
was the forerunner of the difficulties now so generally felt,
every precaution and exertion have been necessary on the
part of those connected therewith. There are cosiderable
grounds for entertaining a tear that the worst has not befallen
us. The working classes are suffering very great privation ;
and several burglaries in the vicinity where provisions have
been purloined, may be the result of the cravings of the un-
employed.—Sheffield Patriot.

We may here mention that overtures have been made from
a certain quarter to enrol Prince Alberts name on the list of
subscribers to Crockford's. There is a meaning in our men-
tioning this which we dare not express, but which we fearlessly
trust to those who will understand it best.—Netv Court Ga-
zette.
LETTER-WRITING.—Verily the penny postage system is
drawing forth the letter-ary talent of the country. As an
instance, the following is a literal copy of the address of a
letter which passed a neighbouring post-office the other day:
—" to the Care of Sandy fordice of reef for petter or franeis
Meetavish or otherwise to aberfeldy to sandy scot Carrier for
Peter or francis Meetavish.”—Perth paper.

THE DUKE.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. - His grace will leave
Apsley House this morning for Strathfieldsaye, where he
will remain until the close of the week. The statement in a
morning contemporary that his grace was out on horseback
on Sunday, paying visits, is incorrect. The duke has, we
believe, not left Apsley House since his indisposition.—
The Hon. and Rev. Gerald Valerian Wellesley, came up
express from Bishop Wearmouth, Durham, to see his noble
relative, and has since left town on a visit to his daughter,
the Hon. Mrs. Robert Liddell, at the Rectory, Barking,
Essex. The inquiries yesterday at Apsley House were very
numerous, and the answer was that his grace was getting
rapidly well.—Morning Herald of Tuesday.
The Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Right Hon.
C. Arbuthnot, left Apsley House yesterday afternoon, at two
o'clock, for Strathfieldsay, where his grace will give a grand
dinner to day to the judges going the western circuit, Sir
Thomas Coltman and Sir Richard Rolfe. The noble duke
was not looking well, but appeared in excellent spirits. His
grace is expected to return to town to-morrow or Saturday
to attend his parliamentary duties.-7 Morning Herald of
Wednesday.

SOCIALISM.

The following letter has been addressed by Lord Normanby
to the Lords Lieutenant of the different counties throughoe
the kingdom :

" Whitehall, February, 1840.

" My Lord,—An address having been presented to the
Queen, praying her Majesty to direct that steps be taken to
prevent the diffusion of blasphemous and immoral doctrines
by printed publications, and by other illegal means, and her
Majesty, in reply to that address, having given an assurance
that inquiry should be made into the important matters
which form the subject of the address, and that reliance
might be placed upon her determination to discourage all
doctrines and practices dangerous to morality and religion,
I have to request your lordship to call the attention of the
justices of the peace of the county of to this subject
at their next meeting at the General Quarter Sessions of the
county.
" I am further to request your lordship to recommend to
the magistrates assembled at Quarter Sessions, and to any
magistrates to whom you may think it advisable, to make any
communication before the time of the session, that in case
they should receive information of any printed blasphemous
publication, or of blasphemous speeches delivered at public
meetings, and should deem it necessary to make known such
information to the government, for the purpose of having it
considered whether a prosecution may be expedient, they
should transmit to me such information, with a report of the
speech or a copy of the publication, together with all neces-
sary proofs which they may be able to procure.
(Signed) " NORMANBY.

renew your assurances of attachment to my person and go-
vernment. _ . _

IMPROVED BRANDY FROM LONDON, AT 18s.
TO OUR BIRMINGHAM, MANCHESTER, AND LIVERPOOL

FRIENDS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WHATEVER opinion may have been formed of the
iiii
Brandies hitherto presented by other Houses, under
various denominations, to your notice, such nion can
have no reference in fact to BRETT'S I
PROVED
COGNAC, inasmuch as this very salutary Sp" t, from a just
apprehension of its lessening the demand for e more costly
productions of France, has never been avo edly introduced
by the trade.
As Proprietors of an article possessin strong claims to
public favour, we are desirous only that every commodity
should be appreciated according to its intrinsic merits, and
therefore undertake to forward, by Pickford and Co., to
Manchester, Liverpool, or Birmingham, paying carriage
here, a Single Gallon or any larger quantity of our genuine
IMPROVED BRANDY, at 18s. per Imperial Gallon, if
previously settled for in London, including ls. per Gallon
for packav:es.
Earnestly solicitous of such portion of your esteemed pa-
tronage and recommendation as you shall find us to deserve,
we remain, with due respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen, your obliged, obedient servants,
HENRY BRETT and CO.

FROM THE LONDON PRICES CURRENT,
FEBRUARY 25, 1840.

Sugar.—All dry yellow descriptions were in good request by the
grocers, and the quality on show being rather small, the merchants
obtained prices 6d above those of Friday last; brown kinds cannot
be quoted higher, but the rates previously established were fully
supported, and a fair sale prevailed. From the refiners there was a
steady demand, and previous rates were well maintained, and good
strong descriptions brought 6d advance.
Foreign.—There was a much better inclination shown to buy all
descriptions; .521 boxes white, 777 boxes yellow Havana, and 41
chests Bahia were offered at public sale ; white Havana was nearly
all damaged, and sold at fair prices, middling and fine quality of
which fetched 29s to 345.

Coffee.—There was little business doing by private contract in any
description, but prices have undergone no change ; at public sale,
1461 bags Rio, imported direct, 155 bags Bahia, and 777 bags East
India were offered ; nearly all the sound quality of the Rio was
taken in above its value, viz. for good ordinary brown.
Tallow.—A large business was transacted in P. Y. Candle on the
spot as well as for delivery in the next two months at Ms od to 52s
for delivery in October, November, and December next.
Rum, Brandy, and llollands.—Rum is held for previous rates,
but the demand has been limited for Jaffiaica as well as Leewards :
the sales since we last wrote have been in the former 140 puns, 28
to 32 per cent over proof at 5s 6d to 5s Bd, 33 to 35 over 5s Od to
5s 10d. Cognac, first brands, of the vintage of 1836, was dis-
posed of in :large quantities at 5s 6d to 5s 7d in hhds, and 5s 4d to
5s 5d in puns. in Geneva a fair business has been transacted at 2s
tb 2s 2d per gallon. British Corn Spirits have secured a good de-
mand at Os 10d to lOs per gallon.
Provisions —The demand for all kinds of Butter of good and fine
quality continues active, and a good business has again been done
at improved prices for Irish, the inferior kinds however do not find
a more ready sale than recently; the best Irish brings 100 s to 104 s.
and fine Dutch 108 s to 110 s per cwt.—Lard in slow request at former
prices.—Bacon cannot be quoted lower, but the trade themselves
with sufficient only to meet their wants, which keeps the market
quiet.

We understand that Mr. Harland, M.P. for this city, will
be included in a new batch of baronets.—Durham Chronicle.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, as well as her
Majesty's royal aunts, presented a cadeau de note to the
royal bride on her wedding day. The illustrious parent pre-
sented her daughter with a bracelet in the form of a serpent,
made entirely of turquoise, with the exception of a diamond
collar, and the head, which was also ornamented with bril-
liants and rubies. The Queen's aunts decided also on a me-
mento of this nature, the joint gift of their royal highnesses,
and this decision preceded almost immediately the demise of
the late much-lamented Landgravine of Hesse Homburg.

DEATH CAUSED BY FRIGHT.—A singular instance of the
fatal effects of fright occurred at Park-end Colliery, in the

Forest of Dean, afew days since. As the men were workin;

in one of the coal pits a quantity of coals suddenly fell from
the side, and, falling on a man named William Biddington,
much injured him. _ The other men hastened to afford him

relief, and one of them, named Charles Oiles, became so
alarmed as to become speechless and insensible, andon being
carried to his home was attended by a surgeon, who used his
best endeavours to restore him, but without effect, and in a
few days he died. He was a very steady quiet man, about 23
years of age. Biddington is. we are happy to hear, in a fair
way of recovery. An inquest was held before Mr. W. J.
Ellis, and a verdict returned agreeably to the facts of het

, .
case.—Gloucester paper. -
Washington Irving has.bought the elegant country seat of
the late Mrs. Phillips, at Tarrytown, on the Hudson, for
his neice, Mrs. Romaifie, who will open a young ladies' semi-

nary there on the Ist of May.—Baltimore Post.
CAUTION TO DRUNKARDS.-It iS calculated that 50,000
drunkards die yearly in this country, and that one-half of
the insanity, two-thirds of the pauperism, and three-fourths
of the crimes of the land, are the consequences of drunken-
ness.

The queen has conferred the honour of knighthood upon
Thomas Wilde, Esq. her majesty's Solicitor-general and one
of her majesty's sergeants-at-law ' • and William Martins,
Esq. gentleman usher of the sword of state and one of her
majesty's gentlemen ushers in daily waiting.
It is stated by a Berlin correspondent of the Avondbode of

REPORT

(Presented to both Houses of Parliament by the Nationa
Vaccine Establishment.)

TO THE RIGHT HON. THE MARGUIS OF NORMANDY, PRIN-
CIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT.
January 28, 1840.
My Lord,—The experience of another year has confirmed
our conviction of the efficiency of vaccination as the best se-
curity and protection against small pox, and has afforded us,
moreover, proofs of the propriety, in the present state of our
knowledge, of preferring vaccine matter, the produce of the
original virus furnished by Dr. Jenner, which hds now passed•
happily through successive generations of subjects in the
course of 43 years, and which forms the principal source of
our supply, to any which may have been taken recently from
the cow. We admit that it is sometimes stated to us by our
correspondents that the supply which we had sent them has
failed, but the same post has generally brought us intelligence
that the material supplied from the very same source had
succeeded elsewhere, and that it was found efficacious in
Somersetshire when it was said to be insufficient in Wiltshire.
We have concluded, therefore, either that it had been in-
jured somehow in its transmission, or that the patients sub-
mitted to it were not in a fit condition to receive its influ-
ence, in consequence of some eruptive disease having preoc-
cupied their constitution, or of some prevailing epidemic
disorder having rendered them insusceptible of another and a
new excitement for a time.
The number of patients dead of small pox within the bills
of mortality, if we can trust them, has been less this year
than any one since vaccination has been practised, and we
are justified, by a careful retrospect of several years, in stat-
ing that 4000 lives on an average are saved every year, within
the district of the bills only, by vaccination having superseded
so largely the practice of innoculation.
We have vaccinated, at our several stations, 13,144 persons,
and have sent out 165,395 charges of vaccine lymph since our
last report to Parliament in 1839.

THE DUKE.

Tux DUKE OF WELLINGTON. His grace will leave
Apsley House this morning for Strathfieldsaye, where he
will remain unti the close of the week. The statement in a
morning contemporary that his grace was out on horseback
on Sunday, paying visits, is incorrect. The duke has, we
believe, not left Apsley House since his indisposition.—
The Hon. and Rev. Gerald Valerian Wellesley, came up
express from Bishop Wearmouth, Durham, to see his noble
relative, and has since left town on a visit to his daughter,
the Hon. Mrs. Robert Liddell, at the Rectory, Barking,
Essex. The inquiries yesterday at Apsley House were very
numerous, and the answer was that his grace was getting
rapidly well.—Morning Herald of Tuesday.
The Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Right Hon.
C. Arbuthnot, left Apsley House yesterday afternoon, at two
o'clock, for Strathfieldsay, where his grace will give a grand
dinner to day to the judges going the western circuit, Sir
Thomas Coltman and Sir Richard Rolfe. The noble duke
was not looking well, but appeared in excellent spirits. his
grace is expected to return to town to-morrow or Saturday
to attend his parliamentary duties.—Morning Herald of
Wednesday.

sons doubting the efficacy of this Medicine, may take a
dose in the proprietor's shop before they purchase. The
Proprietor earnestly recommends a trial of the se Drops to
persons afflicted with the above complaints, but he does not
introduce them as being an infallible cure (as ruany do) but
