HULL CORN MARKET, AUG, 31.

There was again a fair quantity of Wheat, both old and new,
shown at our market to-day. Condition was excellent, and a
good deal sold at about is. per quarter decline. Foreign Wheat
almost unsaleable. The condition of the new crop is so good as
just now to need little mixture, and old has consequently to be
ptit into granary. It may not be quite such a drug in a few
months time. Barley, for maitng in requeit, but none offer-
ing—grinding saleable at 10d. to 11d. per stone. We have still
good arrivals of Oats, which would go off at fair prices if not so
much preased on the market; as soon as arrivals clear, we look
for the article improving. More inquiry for Beans, but at low
prices. Egyptian constitute almost our only supply at present.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. SEPT. 3.

The dulness noticed last week still continues to pervade the
market, the demand having been almost entirely limited to the
necessities of the trade. There is little change in prices, which
are somewhat irregular; the current qualities of American
may, however, be considered id. per lb. lower during the past
fortnight. Speculators have taken 500 American and 150 Surat,
and exporters 1450 American, 200 Pernams, 30 Egyptians, and
150 Surat. 360 American have been forwarded into the country
unsold during the past month.

The Picturesque and Popular History of England, by
Thomas Miller. London r David Bogue.
We have received the fourth part of this pretty, but
really useful and instructive work, which carries us down
to the times of Edmund Ironside. It is well calculated
to accomplish the object of the author—to furnish the
facts of history (which are so often related in a dry hard
style, so uninteresting to young minds), in an attractive
and interesting garb, by writing them in a familiar man-
ner. Mr. Miller wishes to give his work " all the fasci-
nation of fiction without altering a single recorded truth."
This is a great improvement on historical novels, inas-
much as they misrepresent admitted facts, whilst here not
a single fact is distorted, though the pleasing style of the
former is adopted, and by this means we shall, no doubt,
historians
of our young friends more correct and enlarged
than they have hitherto been. Each number
is embellished with two beautiful steel engravings, bring-

THE LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET.

(From Messrs. W. Grearne and Co.'s Monthly Circular.)
LivEarooL. Sept. 3.—During the past month, the attention
of the trade has been chiefly occupied by the public sales of
colonial wools; on the 6th, 1500 bales Australian wool were
brought forward here; we had a very full attendance of buyers,
and tin whole was taken off with great spirit, at an advance of
lid. to 2d. per pound on la ,t sales. On the 10th, the sales
commenced in London and concluded last evening. Prices
(though not equal to what were realised here) have been fairly
supported,-particularly for the best wools, both

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 3.
The dulness noticed last week still continues to pervade the
market, the demand having been almost entirely limited to the
necessities of the trade. There is little change in prices, which
are somewhat irregular; the current qualities of American
may, however, be considered id. per lb. lower during the past
fortnight. Speculators have taken 500 American and 150 Surat,
and exporters 1450 American, 200 Pernams 30 Egyptians, and
150 Surat. 360 American have been forwarded into the country
unsold during the past month.

ford to Grantham, including the Gonerby Hill Tunnel, was
commenced on the fifteenth of March, the Contractor being
then put in possession of some portion of the Land.
The whole of the Land for this Contract is now obtained, and
the Contractor is at work on every part.
More than five miles of the Contract length is fenced in, and
the remainder of the fencing will be shortly completed.
About 200,000 cubic yards have beat got out of the excava-
tions and put into the embankments, which completes more
than one-third of the Earthwork.

Nine bridges are built with the exception only of the para-
pets, and nearly all the necessary culverts are put in.
In the Gonerby Hill 'runnel 420 yards of the heading are
driven ; the side lengths of four shafts, and one shaft-length,
making forty yards of the Tunnel, is bricked, and the remain-
ing portion is proceeding rapidly.
Two miles of jhe Line are formed ready to receive the Ballast
and permanent way and about 500 yards of single Line arc laid
down.

A great quantity of Ballast is also provided on the ground.
A considerable quantity of permanent materials have been
delivered.
There are now employed upon the works, 729 men and 109
horses. .

I have great pleasure in stating that the works now done by
the Contractor are executed in a good substantial and work-
manlike manner, and I am well satisfied with the exertion used
by the •Oontractor in pushing on the works.
The Whole of the Plans, Sections, and Drawings for Contracts
Nos. 2 and 3 are ready. Contractors are preparing their Esti-
mates to tender for these works, whiehmUy be let any day after
the twenty-fourth of this month.
'One of these Contracts will commence near Nottingham, by
a Junction with the Lincoln Line, at Colwick, and will include
the Bridge over the River Trent, and'extend to Contract No. I
at I3ottesford ; and the other will ciltuasence at Grantham, and
extend to the Junction of the Sleaford Branch, snaking aAotal
distance from Colwick, near Nottingham of 23 miles, including
the first Contract.

The whole of the Line to Boston is staked out, as well as the
Ling to Spalding, and the Brandi to Sleaford, the Plana, Sec-
tiona, and Drawings for these•diferent Contracts will be next
proceeded with.
On that portion of the Line from Nottingham to Buiwell,
which is making jointly with the Midland Counties Nottingham

On Monday Prince Albert, accompanied by Prince Lei"
nengen, the'lluke of Norfolk, and Mr. Anson, went out
to Ben Alder, on a deer-stalking excursion. The forest
on the sides of this mountain is famous for the number'
and excellence of the deer, and the mountain itself is re-
markable as having been the hiding-place of Charles Ed—
ward, after the battle of Culloden. The retreat, on Ben
Alder is thus described by Home :—" It was situated on
the face of a very rough, high, and rocky mountain, called
Letternilichk, still a part of Ben Alder, full of great static`
and crevices, and some scattered woodinterspersed. The
habitation called the Cage, on the face of that mountain•
was within a small thick bush of wood. There were first
some rows of trees laid down in order to have a floor for A
habitation ; and as the place was steep, this raised the
lower side to an equal height with the other ; and thes,e
trees, in the way of joists or planks, were levelled wit'
earth or gravel. There were betwixt the trees, growing
naturally on their own roots, some stakes fixed' in the
earth, which, with the trees, were interwoven with ropes,
made of heath and birch twigs, up to the top of the Cage'
it being of a round or rather oval shape, and the whole
thatched and covered over with fog. The whole fabric
hung, as it were, by a large tree, which reclined troll'
one end, all along the roof, to the other,, which gay`
it the name of the Cage, and by chance there happen
to be two stones at a small distance from one anothei
on the side next the precipice, resembling the pillars 5:
a chimney, where the fire was placed. The smoke had „,
vent out here, all along the fall of the rock, which was n'
much of the same colour as to discover no difference in t'' ,
clearest day." This Cage is stillinexistence,and from its cell" i

imports from India, however, promise this year a consi-

The manufacturing districts are, if possible, in a worse
condition than last week; and it is seriously mooted to
suspend working altogether, if the trade can be brought
to a united course of action. The accounts from the In-
dian markets have contributed to increase the depression ;
and it is argued that suspension is the only course which

of the raw material to a point at which it can be worked
with profit. We have referred to this subject elsewhere.
