HULL CORN MARKET, FEB. 15.

The condition of farmers' Wheat at our market this day was
only moderate, and exceedingly difficult to sell, while good
samples were taken off at fully the current rates of last week.
Foreign, though offered on decidedly low terms, meets little
favour; sales when made are in the merest retail. All kinds
of spring Corn are neglected.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 18.

The demand continued good from the trade during the early
part of the week, but since Tuesday the inquiry has become
more limited, and the recent arrivals being freely offered,
prices have given way id. per lb. in American ; other descrip-
tions remain without change. Taken by speculators, 1900
American and 500 Surat, and for export 850 American, 50 Surat,
and 650 Madras. There are declared for public sale next Fri-

His brother is also a fine little fellow, and deserves a

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 17.
The market was lesser in every way than that of the previous
week, with better sales for export and home use. Beef sold at
455. to 545. per cwt. for ordinary kinds ; good 50s. to 545.; very
prime, 555. to 565.. Mutton stationary at from 50. to 74d. per
lb. ; Veal 62d. to 7d. per lb., sinking the offal ; Pork sd. to s+d.
per lb. ; for export, 445. to 565. per cwt. on corn. The difficulty
of curing at those prices, obliged dealers to be out at the seve-
ral country markets; we had consequently less to show than
usual. The continuance of open weather, together with the
facilities of turnip-feeding (happily not injured by the late
frosts,) along with railway conveyance, render our Smithfield
markets every way better supplied than usual, during winter
and spring at least.

entire Stock of Mr. W. D. Scurfield, late of Bold-street,
A BANKRUPT,
beg to announce the whole is
NOW ON SALE,
AT
COM'PTON HOUSE.

Unlike any other Stock J., M., and Co. have had the oppor-
tunity of submitting to their Friends, the Departments are less
numerous, but the character and style of the Goods much more
costly and elegant, doing credit to the taste which selected
them for that superior description of trade to which " Bold-
street" lays claim.
The present depressed state of almost every business, whe-
ther foreign or domestic, is unfortunately too well known ; to
force, therefore, such Goods as these on the market must ne-
cessarily entail a very serious sacrifice, as will be seen by the
Prices at which the whole of this Stoc 'll be Sold. It con-
sists of

SHAWLS.—This Department comprises One-third of the entire
Stock, and is worthy the special attention of
Gentlemen wishful to make a handsome present
at a comparatively small cost.
A considerable portion, namely, ALL WOOL,
both in Longs and Squares, is suitable to the
Season fast passing. The prices of these, there-
fore, will indeed be tempting; as will also the
rich Cashmere, French, and China Crape. Those
marked by Mr. Scurfield
15 Guineas will now be sold for 8;

4 2 •,, /9 /
and the other portion in similar ratio.
ALL WOOL—Although these Goods may fairly be considered
PLAIDS. a staple Article of the Trade, and therefore not
liable to the fluctuations in value of either the
before-mentioned Departments, nevertheless, as
the Winter is so far advanced, the prices will
be found to little exceed One-half what they can
be sold for when purchased ordinarily.
CLOAKS.—These being particularly for Winter wear, all are
of a comfortably warm wrapper description, and,
in order to make a speedy clearance, are marked
just One-half their Value.

COURT AND FASHION.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert left Osborne House on Tues-
day for town, where they remained for a day, returning in the
course of Wednesday to the Isle of Wight.
The House of Lords has decided that the Earl of Balcarres had
made out his claim to the Earldom of Crawford and Barony of
Lindsay Peerages.
The nuptials of Lady Caroline Grosvenor, fourth daughter of
the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, and the Hon.
Wm. Leigh, eldest son. of Lord Leigh, of Stoneleigh Abbey,
which was to have taken place this week, has been deferred for
a short period.
It is rumoured in well-informed quarters that the choice of a.
tutor during the early period of the Prince of Wales's educa-
tion has fallen upon one of the assistant masters of Eton Col-
lege. from whose success in engaging the attachment of his
pupils, as well as the confidence of their parents, the best re-
sults may be anticipated in the more prominent sphere to
which it is proposed to transfer him.
The annual rural fete in honour of the birthday of the
Duchess of Kent was given by her Majesty at Osborne. At
three o'clock the Queen, Prince Albert, the royal children, and
the princely visiters appeared at the principal front, and the
dinner was carried in procession past the royal family to• the
tent where the repast was to be eaten. The royal party re-
mained on the ground kr several hours witnessing the old

HULL CORN MARKET, AuG. 15.

The advance in Mark-lane did not produce a similar im-
provement in the market here to-day. The show of '.boat was
scanty, and considerably higher prices dema,ded ; a few sales
were effected at an advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter; hut many
of the samples of both English and foreign were held over.
Prices of Spring Corn and Linseed Cakes were fully supported.
Flour 2s. per sack higher.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There has been scarcely any change in our
market this week. We learn tha-, towards the conclusion of
business on Tuesday, there was a more animated demand than
had existed in the morning; and sales to a fair extent were
made between four and six o'clock. Since Tuesday, the state
of the weather has had a rather unfavourable effect upon the
mrrk( t—though rather in the way of preventing improvement
than of causing any depression in prices, which, on the con-
trary, are exceedingly firm ; and we understand that, in some
few cases, rather better rates have bee.; obtained for East India
qualities of yarn, which have been previously somewhat de-
pressed. From the great stability of the market, even under
the influence of the present unfavourable weather, and in the
face of continental embroilments, there is a very general, and,
apparently a well-founded belief, that, if those difficulties were
at an end, a steady and progressive improvement in business
might be safely counted upon.
BRADFORD.—wooI:: There has been rather less doing in
combing wools, and all hope of getting higher prices cannot
now be realised. Yarns: We are glad to find raore inquiry to-
day for yarns, both from the shippers and for Lancashire, and
as these have been so long taking such a limited quantity, it is
only fair to presume they must all be short of stock. Pieces :
This branch of trade continue: brisk, and with few goods in
stock, the manufacturers being chiefly waking to order. Or-
leans cloths, which for so long have been abundant, are now
equally redaced as Cobourgs.

HALIFAX.—The improvement which is reported to have
been experienced in the worsted trade, has not yet manifested
itself in our Piece Hall, being more in the light fancy goods
peculiar to the Bradford market, than in the heavier goods of
this district. Scarcely any business was done in the hall on
Saturday, hut there is more doing in the warehouses, and some
of the larger manufacturers are working full time. Yarn is in
rather better demand, and the spinners are more fully em-
ployed, but the quantity produced is much below the power of
production, and prices have not advanced. Rather more doing
in wool, at late rates, and the staplers complain of its being
harder to buy in the country.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The stocks of goods in the hall are very
much reduced, and new styles of fancy goods have hada ready
sale. Prices are without any alteration.
ROCHDALE FLANNLL ➢IARKET.—We have had a good at-
tendance of both buyers and sellers in the market this week,
and the improvement which took place last week has been fully
maintained. In some few instances, for particular sorts of
goods, rather better prices have been obtained. 'There has
been a moderate demand for• wool ; prices rather stiffer. The
hands employed both in cotton and woollen mills generally have
full work, and other trade • are improving.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
AUGUST 19.

The supply of Farmers' Wheat to-day was moderate, but
from the Coast good, the demand for which ruled active, at an
advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. over the rates of last Saturday.
The arrivals of Foreign are not large, and sales were easily ef-
fected, at a similar improvement. —The arrivals of Foreign
Barley are large, and nearly the whole has been taken on spe-
culation, at full prices. Rye is held for more money ; but the
demand for consumption is trilling.. Oats of good quality are
getting very scarce, and wanted : prices are Is. to 2s. per qr.
dearer. Peas and Beans realize Is. per quarter more money,
Our millers having advanced Flour 2s. per sack, Norfolk and
Suffolk Households sell at 40s. per sack. The weather during
the week, although fair, has been cold for the season of the
year, and last night we had a heavy fall of rain for several
hours, with the wind east.

MOURNING.

IT has ever been a source of inconvenience and
regret, on occasions when Mourning attire has been re-
quired, that its purchasers have at such a time been coTopelled
to the painful necessity of proceeding from Shop to Shop in
search of each distinct article of Dress. This may be com-
pletely obviated by a visit to the

' nis bill was brought in, who was Pope, and what the
Court of Rome now was. The bill was introduced into
this house on the 10th of August, at a time when the
Pope had violated all his obligations to Austria, the chief
benefactor of the Papacy, when the Pope had been unable
to protect the Austrian Ambassador from the attacks of
the rabble of Rome, and when he had absolutely blessed
the arms of the soldiery whom he sent to attack the Aus-
trian forces ; and all this, too, at a period when England
was more alive than ever to the rampant and aggressive

of the world. He did not object to enter into negotiations
with the temporal Sovereign of Rome, no matter what his
religion migbt be. He did not object to recognize the
civil governor of Rome, even though he should be another
Rienzi ; but he did object to recognize the spiritual
governor of Rome and of all the Roman Catholic popula-
tion of the world. The Pope had millions of subjects in
this country, and he would not give to the Pope the direct
means of issuing his powerful edicts to them without any

_
restraint. He had another objection to this bill—it nei-
ther conciliated the affections of the Protestants nor satis-
fied the wishes of the Roman Catholics, who in March
last had denounced it to the Pope in the strongest lan-

;twit states

...

Since Tuesday we have bad no rain, but still very poor drying
weather, except yesterday, which was fine indeed, and all hands
were in full work carting Wheat. To-day has been cloudy,
with a shower of rain. The farmers being so busy in securing
their Corn has caused us to have hardly any market at all.
'the few samples offered made readily 2s. to 3s. per quarter
more than last week. Runs of Old Red made 535. to 545. per
quarter. 63 lbs. New 555. to 568. per quarter, C 3 lbs. Beans
and Oats held for more money, but scarcely a sample offering.

CORN EXCHANGE. AUGUST 18.

Although in some parts of the country th s w,ek, the weather
is reported to have been unsettled, accounts from other districts
speak of it more favourably. In this locality it has been varia-
ble, gloomy, wit't but few bright ntervals,nnd not exempt from
occasional showers : in the course of yesterday, however, we
had heavy rain for sever& hours, which, combi .ed with the
uncertain state of harvest, gave a strong impulse to speculative
buyers, and Wheat, Indian Corn, and Egyptian Beans were
-taken rather eagerly and at higher pric s for investment ; con-
sumers, at the same tt ule, not being equally active, and the
afternoon becoming fine, the demand subsided. Prevented by
easterly winds during the greater part of the week, we have
scarcely any arrivals of Grain to report, beyond 2535 quar.ers
of Wheat from abroad; and the stocks, generally, ia the gra-
naries of this place being comparatively light, a limited d splay
only of samples were exhibited at our Corn Exchange to-day ;
but although the market was tolerably well attended by Eng-
lish, and several Irish buyers appeared, the great improvement
in the weather this morning, gave a decided check to further
extensive operations for the moment: in free Wheats, how-
ever, sales upon a moderate scale were effected at an advance
of 2c1., and those in bond were 3d. per 701 b. dearer, several
parcels of which were bought for Ireland.—lrish and American
Flour, though not in lively request, realised Is. per sack and Is.
per barrel over Tuesday's rates.—Barley, being more saleable,
was held on rather higher terms ; and Malt steadily maintained
late prices.—Beans and Pease, meeting a fair demand, improved
Is. per quarter each.—Oats c ,mmanded Id. per -131 b., and Oat-
meal 6d. per load above our last quotations, at which, both
attracted a tolerable share of attention.—The demand for Indian
Corn for consumption, having materially abated, the ransac-
, tions in this article to-day were p incipally limited to specula
tive purchasers, who bought much less freely than yesterday,
at 3s. per quarter over the annexed currency.—lndian Meal an
fair request at an advance of Is. per barrel —Duties on Foreign
Wheat is reduced to 85. per quarter; and on Flour to 48. 9d.
per barrel.

LEEDS FORTNIGHT CATTLE FAIR, AuG. 16.
We have had only a short supply of Beasts at market to-day,
and, as a whole, the quality was middling. The attendance of
buyers was not large, and prices had a downward tendency,
there being only a few that realised is. ; many were sold at 6s.
9d., and as low as 6s. per st. of mlbs. At the close of the mar-
ket a few remained unsold. There was an average supply of
Sheep and Lambs, which were of good quality; the trade was
slow and a few left on hand. Prices, 5i.1. to 6d. per lb. ;

The Wesleyan Methodist conference will be held next
year at Manchester.

Mr. Palmer, solicitor, of Preston, paid last week his
one hundred and nineteenth visit to Lancaster Assizes.

On Wednesday, a sturgeon, upwards of six Vfeet in
length, and weighing 1221b5., was caught by Robert
Leadbetter, of North Meols, at that place.
A NOVEL DEFENCE.—A man was brought up, on
Monday, at Preston, charged with having been drunk and
creating a disturbance in the previous week. He hoped
the bench would pardon him as he had only been attend-
ing a temperance tea party, and had had a little drop too
much.

DEATHS FROM DROWNING.—On Sunday, a little boy.
named John Dean. a year-and-a-half old, was drowned
in a pit at Winstanley. The child had walked out of the
house, and fallen into the water.—On the following day,
a little girl, named Mary Ann Heaton, was drowned in a
pit at Pemberton. She was playing with some other
children, and fell in.

CONVICTIONS FOR BURGLARY.—At the Lancaster
assizes last week, three men, named Pilkington, Culshaw,
and Cheetham, were sentenced to fourteen years' trans-
portation, for a burglary at the house of Mary Crawshaw,
near Croston. John Doming was sentenced to a similar
term of banishment, for a burglary in the house of James
Rainford, at Preston.

FATAL RESULT, OF A BOYISH QUARREL..—On Tues-
day, two little boys, named Charles and George William-
son, the sons of an operative of that name living in Red
Bank, Manchester, aged respectively nine and four years,
were proceeding homewards, on their way from school,
when they commenced quarrelling, and Charles, the
eldest, struck his brother a blow. A person who was
passing at the time, and knew them, interfered, and told
them it was very wrong to quarrel, on which the youngest
raised his hand and repaid his brother the blow, causing
him to fall backwards off the footpath. Just at the mo-
ment a laden cart happened to pass, the driver of which
did not witness the quarrel, when, before the fallen boy
could regain his feet, the wheel passed over his head, and
killed him on the spot.
CHESTER ASSIZES.—The assizes for the county of
Chester commenced on Monday. Joseph Sherlock, 19,
William Sherlock, 25, William Mitchell, 24, and Samuel
Pownall, 22, were indicted for the mansllughter of Thos.
Evans, at Greasby, near Birkenhead, on thel6th of June.
The first-named prisoner was charged as principal, and
the others as accessories. The matter had its origin in a
fight, but the jury, after hearing the evidence, acquitted
the prisoners. John Dean, 20, pleaded guilty to two in-
dictments, charging him with stealing letters containing
money, the property of the Postmaster-Ceneral, at
Wilmslow, and was sentenced to seven years' transporta-
tion. Thomas Jones, 24, was similarly sentenced for
stealing a letter containing ten postage-stamps' and a
half sovereign, the property of the Inspector anr! Re-
ceiver-Generals, on the 11th of July last. The prisoner
was a letter-carrier at Birkenhead postoffice.
