After nearly half a century of earnest pursuit of our one

MAY 16

The agricultural districts of this country are in general re-
ported to be less freely supplied by the growers this week than
was previously expected, and although fair arrivals of foreign
Grain and Flour continue to find their way into most of the
outports, and thence into the consuming towns of the interior,
the trade in several of the leading markets of each appears to
evince more stability than of late, and the prices of Wheat,
Oats, and Beans are in some stated to incline rather upwards.
In all sections of Ireland a large unabated consumption seems
still to exist, and, in the absence
of any material supplies of
native produce, regular and extensive importations from abroad
will inevitably be indispensable until harvest : meanwhile, the
demand for the general runs of Breadstuffs there appears to
increase, and the value rather to improve. The most impressive feature in the trade in this place,
during the interim since Tuesday, has been a continued fair
amount of business in Indian Corn partly on the spot, but
more in cargoes to arrive; the demand for Wheat, Flour, and
other articles having been rather quiet sellers, notwithstand-
ing, remained perfectly firm, and steadily adhered to the gene-
ral currency of last market•day. _ _ _ _

The arrials of British, !Ili!), and foreign Grain into this
port since Monday last are extremely insignificant, and, exclu-
sive of 5000 barrels from New Orleans, we have very little Flour
and scarcely any Oatmeal to note; whilst the shipments of
Wheat, Indian Corn, and Flour, coastwise and to Ireland, are
liberal.

Having few country millers at our Corn Exchange this
morning, and more reserve on the part of home buyers, we
perienced a very slow limited demand for all descriptions of
both English and foreign Wheat, but without any quotable
change from the rates of Tuesday, holders still resisting lower
termii. States, Canadian, and French Flour, in like manner,
moved rather sparingly to consumers, and erch merely sus-
tained our last quotations. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease,
upon a moderate demand, remained steady in value. Oats, of
which we have still very few at hand, realised a further ad-
vance of Id. per 451 b. ; and Oatmeal supported Tuesday's
amendment. Indian Corn, being taken less freely to-day than
at an earlier period of the week, was the turn cheaper; but as
this article ebbs and flows so frequently in value, and the wants
of Ireland are increasingly large, a renewed demand is antici-
pated, and floating cargoes are held on quite as high conditions
as heretofore.

THE CHARGE

The learned RECORDER addressed the Grand Jury in
the following terms :—" If the calendar was an index to
crime, he had to congratulate them, as the present one
contained only 70 names, turd this was the more satis-
factory as it was five weeks since the last session was held.
Ile was also pleased to observe that the nature of the cases
was in general light, the two most serious being cases of
embezzlement, an offence which no vigilance on the nart
of the police could prevent. The cases of shoplifting
were few, and the same observation applied to pilfering
from the dock quays and warehouses. The cases of pick-
ing pockets appeared to be the most numerous, and
offenders would have to learn that he (the learned Re-
corder) visited offences of that class with peculiar seve-
rity. Three persons would be tried for having tam-
pered with witnesses at the last sessions ; without going
into the particulars of this. case, he might observe
that very few sessions passed without some case of
this nature being tried ; two persons were undergoing
an imprisonment of eight months at the present
time for this offence. At the last sessions tv-,o wo-
men were charged with having robbed a man under
rather extraordinary circumstances : he went into a
brothel, and, while there, two women threw wwet napkin
over his face—the fume from which almost stifled him—
and when, at length, the cloth was removed, the man be-
came insensible and staggered about the room-; and while
in this helpless condition he was robbed. At the trial
three phials were shown to the man : one contained ether,
another sal volatile, and the third chloroform ; the phial
containing chloroform was selected by him as containing
a fluid resembling in appearance that Which had been
used to effect the robbery. In the opinion of the jury,
and of himself (the learned Recorder), and a medical
gentleman; chloroform had been applied-in the case; and
the two women were transported for a term of ten years.
The learned Recorder wished it to be known that a very
severe punishment awaited those who might thus pervert
the discoveries of science to the commission of crime.
The learned Recorder concluded his observations by a few
important remarks relative to the duty which would
devolve on them.

MR. A. PRINGLE
ESPECTFULLY tenders his grateful acknowledgments for the patronage bestowed upon him for a
11, period of twenty-one years, and, in retiring from the business, has much pleasure in recommending his successor,
Mr. JAMES MACLENNAN who has for a long period had the entire management of his Establishment, and trusts that
he may receive a liberal share of favours, feeling assured, from his assiduity ar.d attention to business, that he will be
found to be deserving of the same.

In reference to the above,-
JAMES AIACLENNAN respectfully intimates to the Ladies of Liverpool, that he hai returned from
Paris and London, and is prepared to show a magnificent Stock of
FOREIGN AND B TISH SHAWLS AND MANTLES;
And he begs special notice to the fact tha s the entire of Mr. PRINGLE'S Stock was sold by tender, every Article which
he has now on view is the newest, t cheapest, and the most fashionable which he could obtain in Paris and London.
He will adopt the same principle in nducting the Establishment which characterised it during the successful career of
Mr. PRINGLE; and would respectfully invite an inspection of his Stock, it being his determination that the greatest
attention shall be shown to all his Customers.
N.B.—J. M. has now ready all the NEW STYLES in MANTLES, direct from Paris, and various novel and splendid
Patterns in SHAWLS, identical with the beautiful Specimens denosited in the Great Exhibition.

FRENCH CACHMERE SHAWLS,
AT JNO. CRIPPS', 14 4- 16, BOLD-STREET.
THE NEW TAPIS OR CARPET-WORKED SHAWLS IN BOUQUET OR NATURAL FLOWERS.
TNO. CRIPPS has the honour of announcing to the Ladies of Liverpool, and the Strangers en route,
el the termination of another visit to Paris, expressly undertaken for the purpose of making complete his arrangements
with the parties he has employed to weave those beautiful productions ; they are especially selected from designs executed
by thf! hand in HI. n__:_

au laic kmueo or; or rang, eacn separate pattern of which has involledyears of labour to the inmates of that
Institution. The importance of such a visit at this particular period may be estimated by the extraordinary competition,
and consequent changes and improvements, the coming Exhibition has wrought in all the various textile fabrics of France,
more particularly in Shawls.
They are now on the Premises in quantities, ready for inspection, and he is prepared to submit to the inspection of
his Customers an amount of novelty and attraction never bet eredby any one House; and as his new Establishment
is unquestionably the largest for Shawls and Mantles • urope, so he is determined that his Stock shall bear a corre-
sponding reputation for magnitude.
One of the distinctive features of his New is, or Bouquet Shawl; in real Carpet Work, is their immense size,
enveloping the figure in their graceful and e olds. Another is their undoubted superiority over British in point of
intrinsic worth, while, for style and Bowe ' g, they exhibit the meat exquisite taste, and are, indeed, a perfect garden if
lowers in miniature.
The New Tapia, or Bouquet Ca mere Shawl, is decidedly the greatest novelty of the last half-century ; and as it is
certain they will be both scarce and dear as the season advances, Ladies will do well to provide themselves from this
magnificent Stock, which in London has no equal. At the same time, Mr. Catrps wishes to impress on the minds of his
Customers the fact. that simultaneously with rh0,,.,..: _,'us large and commodious new Premises, he effected a Reduc-

Relieved in some degree as

ow are from the immediate

agency of the pestilence, they are now threatened with
another visitor, one of its most dismal consequences.
Famine—gaunt famine—like a dark cloud, from which no
face there can for an instant be averted, bangs over the
island, and threatens to accomplish the terrible work of
destruction, by making victims of those whom the fever
has spared.' The intervention of the charitable and
humane is earnestly implored to prevent, or at all events
to mitigate, this additional impending calamity. It is
said that several gentlemen in London, interested in the
Cape de Verd Islands, are about to raise subscriptions for
the purpose of sending out articles of food to the destitute
inhabitants.

MINES OF LAKE SEPERIOR.—Our latestaCCollnts from
Lake Superior represent the mines as in a good state of
prosperity. 1,500 tons of copper have been shipped, 800
of which were from one mine. Speculative operations
had ceased, and every organized company had fixed upon
a location, and was doing an active business in getting out
copper. Traces of ancient mining continue to be found,
which prove of great service to the present miners, di-
recting their attention to the most feasible spots where
excavations have been made, which could only be effected
by arduous toil. These are supposed by the population
to be at least 2,000 years old. Nothing has been found,
however, to show their connexion with any existing race ;
although it appears that the copper mined was taken off
by way of St. Mary's River and the Lakes, from the de.
tached portions which have been found on the road be-
tween the mines and St. Mary's. The whole distance
between Green Bay and Lake Superior presents a delight-
fbl•tract of country, abounding in all the means of wealth
and prosperity. Clear and beautiful lakes, with plenty of
large trout and other fish, are found at convenient inter-
♦als. Water power is abundant. The timber, consisting
of maple, beech, oak, and pine, is of a superior quality.
The land has a sufficient variety of surface, and is sus-
ceptible of easy cultivation. A few roads will open this
country to the industrious emigrant, and it will soon pre-
sent the spectacle of villages, schools, mills, cultivated
farms, and every industrial pursuit which is now followed
in the southern portions of Wisconsin and Michigan.
