THE WOOL MARKET

(From Messrs. Greame and Co.'s Circular of August 2.)
There has been a fair amount of business done during
the last month, and prices are fully supported ; the excite-
ment always attending a general election has, how-
ever, for the last ten days, materially interfered with
business operations generally. Considerable sales are re-
ported in Russia and Turkey Wools, Donskoi Fleece, 7d.
to 74. East India Wools are much inquired for, parti-
cularly the better kinds, both white and yellow, which
may be quoted at 4d. to 4d.. higher. In Peruvian Wools
about 2000 bales washed have been sold at 8d to 10d., part
taken for export. For Alpaca we have had a good de-
mand, and considerable sales have been made of the best
assortments, both in white and colours, at full prices. In
Irish Wools a large dusiness has been done at our quota-
tions. Not much of the New Clip Scotch Wool has come
to hand yet, and the business of the month has been to a
limited extent. Public sales, Australian, are fixed to
commence here on the sth, and in London on the 12th.
Since our last monthly report, provisions have again
fallen materially in price, and, as the weather continues
to be everything that can be desired for the harvest, we
may, we think, reasonably expect that alarm caused by
the famine prices that have ruled so long will pass away,
and with restored confidence bring about a more healthy
state of trade.

FINE SAMPLE OF. THIS YEAR'S WHEAT.---A bunch
of wheat in the ear may be seen in our office window,
which in quality exceeds any which we have met with for
many harvests past. Some of the ears are 6 inches in
length, remarkably well filled ; and most of the stems are
6 feet high, thus giving us assurance at once of an excel-
lent crop of grain and plenty of straw. The sample is
grown by Mr. Brookfield, of Aigburth.
CAUTION.—A gentleman, residing at Egremont, on
Saturday evening last, purchased a quantity of fruit, &c.,
in St. John's Market, and engaged a decent looking boy
whom he met there to accompany him to the boat.
Turning round accidentally, however, in Lord-street, to
read a statement of the polling, his carrier and his mar-
keting vanished, and were not seen again. People should
always employ in such matters some one they know, or a
carrier who wears the market badge
ASSAULT ON A POLICE-OFFICER

At the Police-court,

yesterday, a man named Charles Rice was charged with
violently assaulting a police-officer on Saturday night,
during a riot and disturbance at the end of' Porter-street,
which complainant and some of his comrades were endea-

vouring to quell. Four witnesses were called for the de-
fence, who attempted to show that the prisoner was not
the man ; but the other evidence satisfied the mind of
the magistrate, and the prisoner was fined £5, or in de-
fault to be imprisoned. and he was further required to find

bail, himse

af in £l5, and two sureties in £lO each

ROBBING A DROVER.-At the Police Court yesterday,
a woman, named Ann Cosgrove, was charged with rob-
bing a cattle dealer, named Arthur M'Kewin, of money
to the amount of £75., in notes and gold. The com-
plainant had put the money into a bag in his breast, and
being overcome with drink, went to a lodging house in
Pownall Square, to lie down. The prisoner was there.
Information was given, and the prisoner was traced to a
house of ill fame in Johnson Street, and upon her was
found. not the money. but a copper Dutch coin which

was amongst it, and which was identified by the com-
plainant. She was committed for trial. .

r,,
hush POOR.—No returns are now made of the arrivals
of emigrants from Ireland, but they do not exceed those
usual at harvest time. The number applying for relief
diminishes daily, and the temporary hospitals are in a
fair way of being restored to their original and more ap-
propriate purposes. It is considered desirable to furnish
facilities for the removal to Ireland to all who apply for
it, and are now chargeable to the parish funds ; but in
many instances that have occurred this week the apph-

been searehec

coaled in their c

The removals continue to average

one hundred per day. -
THE REV. MOSES MAROOLIOUTH.—we understand
that the incumbent of the parish of Glasnevin, near
Dublin, the principal editor of the works to be published
by the Philo-Hebraic Society, as well as of that interest-
ing periodical the Star of Jacob, is.about to leave for the
east on some important mission of inquiry and research
into the state of Christians, Jews, Turks, Infidels, and
heretics. From what we know of.the reverend gentle-
man, we have every reason to anticipate much interesting
and instructive information respecting that part of the
world and its inhabitants, as he is-by-far the most quali-
fied person for such an expedition, being correctly con-
veasant with the languages,_ customs, and manners neces-
sary for so important and cOiiiiirehensive en enterprise.
