JOHN. GRACE (from Messrs. M'Clellan and Son's,
Priee-street) most respectfully announces to his numerous
Friends and the Public generally, that his ESTABLISH-
MENT IS NOW OPENED with a choice STOCK of
LINEN DRAPERY GOODS, which he will feel a pleasure
in submitting for their inspection. Practical knowledge,
acquired by long experience, has enabled him to select such
Goods as he will feel the greatest confidence in recommend-
ing. Owing to the depressed state of the markets, he has
been able to purchase to great advantage, and will offer goods
at such prices as will not fail to convince of their cheapness.
The improved system of charging a small uniform rate of
profit will be invariably adopted, consequently no deviation
in price can be made.

J. G. hopes, by persevering attention, to secure a large
share of public support, which it shall be his constant study
to merit.

ECONOMY IN FUEL, WITHOUT SMOKE,
EFFECTED ON CITEMICAT, PRINCIPLES,

BY THE PATENT IMPROVED FURNACE OF
CHARLES WYE WILLIAMS, Esq.
lop ROCKLEHURST, DIRCKS, land NELSON,
-10 being authorised by the Patentee, beg to acquaint Ma-
nufacturers and Owners of Steam Engines generally, that
they are now prepared to construct Furnaces, WARRANTED
to economize both Heat and Fuel, and to prevent Smoke, by
effecting a perfectly chemical combustion of the Fuel.
This simple and effectual plan, which produces a great
saving both to Boilers and Furnaces, and requires less atten-
tion from the Firemen than usual, has received the unqualified
approbation of the highest professional authorities and ex-
perienced engineers. It is applicable to Marine, Locomotive,
and Land Engines; and Furnaces of every description, al-
ready erected, may be altered without difficulty at a moderate
•
expense. _ -

Professor BRAN DE, writing to the Inventor, says, "You
convert what is commonly called smoke into fuel at the time
when and the place where this combustion can be most effec-
tively brought about.

The Patent Furnace may be seen and every information
afforded on application to BROCKLEUURST, DIRCKS, and

mend to the attention of the Public this efficient safeguard

while the Working Classes may be supplied with them as
low as 6s. and 7s. each.

The Respirator is also frequently worn at night, to allay
Coughs; and persons .saferitgr, from Asthma, or Incipient
Consumption, will find themselves enabled, by the use of it,
to breathe with comfort the coldest air.

THR CRICKET.—These who have attended to the habits
of the hearth cricket (Gryllus domesticusj know that it
passes the hottest part of the summer in sunny situations,
concealed in the crevices of walls, and heaps of rubbish. It
quits its summer residence about the end of August, and
fixes its residence by the fire-side of the kitchen or cottage,
where it multiplies its species, and is as merry at Christmas
as others in the dog-days. Thus do the comforts of a warm
hearth afford the cricket a safe refuge, not from death, but
from temporary torpidity ; which it can support for a long
time, when deprived by accident of artificial warmth. If a
colony of crickets, for example, be deprived, in winter, of
the usual warmth of the fire around which they are esta-

Wished for some weeks, they will all disappear into their holes
and hiding places ; but no sooner is the fire re-lit, and warmth
diffused, then the crickets again begin to bestir themselves;
and shake off their torpor.

easier, but notwithstanding this, there was some mistrust
about the maintenance of prices, and the sales that followed
caused a decline of 1 per cent. in Consols ; the Reduced

Consols for the account during the day was 891 ex. d iv., but
declined to 881 to 9, which was the quotation at the close of
the usual hours of business. After that they were quoted
881 sellers. Bank Stock has undergone a further decline,
leaving off 1561 to 1571 ; 3 per Cents. Reduced left off at
881; 31 per Cents. Reduced, 971 to 4 ; India Stock 236 to
238, ex. div. ; and Exchequer bills, 2s to 4s premium.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

We acknowledge the receipt of £l. for the " Case of Dis-
tress" recently advertised in the STANDARD.
" A Member of the Church of England" will see in a letter
from a correspondent, one of the reasons why we decline
interfering further in the matter which has brought the
Pastoral Aid Society so prominently before the public.
Were we to assign any further reasons, they would only
renew the controversy.
" Q. Q." asks whether Mr. William Rathbone was not for-
merly opposed to the warehouse scheme, and whether his
advocacy of that scheme did not commence after he had
sold his Cornhill property ? We cannot say.

TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1840.

By the arrival here, yesterday, of the packet-ship
North America, Captain A. B. Lowber, we have re-
ceived New York papers to the 19th ultimo, inclusive
The North America has had an excellent run, having
accomplished the voyage in about is days. The
steam-ship British Queen had not arrived at New York
when the North America sailed. We have to acknow-
ledge owr obligations to Mr. Bennett, of the New York
Herald, for his polite attention in forwarding to us
copies of his journal to the latest dates.
The news from the United States is not of much im-
portance. The transactions in the money market, on
the 18th ult., were, to the usual extent, presenting
nearly the same features as they had done for some
time previously. United States bank shares had im-
proved per cent. An improvement was also noticed
in several other descriptions of stock. The resume'
tion of specie payments was confidently looked forward
to in several of the States.
The New York Herald mentions that there was a ru-
mour that Cunard's line of steamers would, during the
winter, run into Portsmouth, N. H., on account of the
difficulty of making Boston in foul weather. The rail-

STATE OF TRADE

Lzuns.—The stock of goods in the mixed Cloth Hall is
so low and chiefly of so old a kind, that the quantity of buii-
ness transacted in the hall really forms no criterion by which
to judge of the real state of the Woollen Trade. We are
happy, however, to be able to report an improvement rather
than a declension in the Woollen Trade of the district. At
present there is a good business doing for the season, and the
spirits of our merchants have hem cheered ,by the recent
tidings from the United Statei ; but the scarcity of money
prevents any speculative dealings at present.
BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a large attendance of
merchants in the Piece Hall on Thursday, but the amount of
their purchases was extremely small, there not being goods
in the market to complete their orders. So far as the sales
were effected former prices were realized. In the Yarn Mar-
ket there was comparatively little business done ; and the
WO.ol Market was nearly stationary, both as to demand and
prices.

CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 28.—The price of
Wool remains very steady but with a limited demaud.

The MARKET for METALS is in a very drooping con-
dition ; British iron and lead both 5s per ton lower, and very
little demand even at that reduction in price. East India
Tin is considerably lower, 460 slabs of Banca having been
offered by auction, and bought in at 76s per cwt. Spelter is
now worth £23 7s 9d per ton, delivered on the spot.—Leeds
Intelligencer.

LANCASHIRE.—The calico block printing in the neigh-
bouring towns of Manchester still remains in a depressed
state The operative hatters at Oldham are unusually brisk
in making hat bonnets both for the home trade and for ex-
portation. The various trades in other towns in the vicinity
of Manchester remain as noticed in our last.—Preston paper.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 5

In the early part of the week several cargoes of free foreign
Wheat arrived here from London ; and, some of these having been
pressed for sale ex ship, prices have suffered a depression of 2d to
ad per bushel : this decline, however, has not extended to English
new, the supply of which is still small. Of Irish new Oats and
Oatmeal we have had moderate imports : the former have sustained
our previous quotations, 3s to 3s Id par 4slbs ; but at yeSterday's
market. any change in the value of Meal was rather in favour of
the buyer, and there was not much sold. Fresh parcels of American
and ;C'anadian Flour are becoming scarce : prime marks of the
former command 345. Canadian 33s to 33s 6d per brl: English new
Malting Barley is worth 36s to 408. Fine new Beans 46s to 485
per quarter. Irish new kiln dried Beans 438 to 445 per 480 lbs.
Peas have met a valuable sale at 406 to 435 per imperial quarter.
American Flour in bond is held at 238 per brl. The chief imports
of the week are comprised in 12,037 quarters of Wheat, 2,187
quarters of Barley, and 2,292 quarters of Malt from the English
coast : 1,962 quarters of Wheat, 5,477 quarters of Oats 6,854 loads
of Oatmeal, and 1,103 sacks of Flour from Ireland; and, of the
latter, there are reported 1,328 barrels from Canada.

CARLOW ELECTION

The Conservatives of Carlow have achieved a noble and
signal triumph over their Popish adversaries, by the return
of Colonel Bruen. At the close of the poll on Friday, the
numbers were—
For Colonel Bruen . .

Majority

Subsequent accounts give 'a
majority of 165 to Colone
Bruen. We shall give the exact numbers in a second edition,

SECOND EDITION.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Tats DAY

(From Mess.ra. R. MAKIN sr SONS' Circular.)

The small arrivals of Wheat and other Grain stated on Fri-
day, although somewhat increased, are on the whole still
rather limited, and of Flour only moderate; but of Oatmeal
from Ireland the supply of the week is considerable, as will
be seen on reference to our import note underneath.
Having a good attendance of town and country buyers at
our Corn Exchange to-day, and the improved feeling yester-
day in Mark-lane imparting more firmness to the trade,
most descriptions, especially fine fresh Foreign Wheat, were
in fair demand, and, recovering the decline of Friday, realized
the rates of this day se'nnight. In the common runs of
Irish very little business was done, and in fine qualities alone
are we enabled to note the least amendment. Of farmers'
Wheat there was an increased show of samples, and such
commanded late prices.

Flour, upon a more general inquiry, met a:tolerably ready
sale ; duty-paid foreign obtaining an advance of 6d. to is.
per barrel, and good parcels in bond commanding a similar

improvement
