On the motion for going into committee on the Unlaw-
ful Oaths Acts (Ireland) Bill,
The Earl of SHREWSBURY reviewed the social condi-
tion of the people of Ireland, and traced the calamities
under which that country laboured to the postponement
of the remedial measures so frequently promised.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE contended that the bill
before them was a remedial measure, as no other mea-
sure would be effectual without it.

HOUS

OF LORDS.-

The Duke of WELLINGTON thought the bill was abso-
lutely necessary in order to put down rebellion in Ireland.
The bill passed through committee.

WISBEACH CORN MARKET. AUGUST 19.
PRICES TO THE GROWER.
Since Tuesday we have had 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 535. to 565. per quarter, 63 lbs. Beans
and Oats held for more money, but scarcely a sample offering.
Wheat, new white 60 to 631 b., 50s. to 545., extra 575. per qr.
Ditto, red Ditto, 475. to 485., „ 535. „
Oats lod. to Mid. per stone.
Beans, new 65 to 661 3ss. to 367., extra 365. per qr.

PETERBOROUGH CORN MARKET, Aug. 19.
We have a short supply of Wheat to-day, and there is also
very little spring grain offering. The high prices asked for
Wheat checked business at the beginning of the market, but at
the close an advance of 3s. to 4s. was established, witn a good
demand. Beans, Oats, and Barley each exceeded low rates by
Is. per quarter. The bulk of the Wheat crop is cut in this dis.
trict, but yesterady being the only fine day we have had for
some time, but little has been secured, and that not in good
condition.

OBSERVE

EMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION

IMMIGRATION being much required in AUSTRA-
LIA.i NEW ZEALAND, &c., and as the supposed expense
of an OUTFIT often prevents individuals emigrating, S. w.
SILVER and CO., CLOTHIERS, OUTFITTERS, and CON-
TRACTORS (having a large interest to maintain in those Colo-
nies), have been advised to make known that they can supply
OUTFITS for MALE or FEMALE Emigrants from Four Pounds
(net) upwards, or less when needful ; and for Children in pro..
portion, at No. 4 BISHOPSGATE-STREET WITHIN, opposite the
London Tavern.

S. W. S. and Co., being the makers of nearly every article in
all the Outfits they supply, and as one of their objects is to pro-
mote EMIGRATION, they neither receive from Agents, or pay
the too rsual commission to any person introducing Passengers
to be fitted out, so that the Passage and Outfit may be procured
at the least possible expense; but they will, on application,
advise Passengers how to obtain the most eeonomi,

the Colonies. They have a Representat6einevery Australian
Colony, to whom they ship Clothing monthly; thus they would
forward small parcels free of expense.
NAVAL and MILITARY OFFICERS, MIDSHIPMEN, CADETS,
CIVILIANS, LADIES, &c., are outfitted as heretofore, at the
CABIN-PASSENGER OUTFITTING Warehouse, Nos. 66 and 67,
CORNHILL, (the Emigration Outfitting being exclusively at
No. 4, BISHOPSGATE-STREET WITHIN), LONDON, and each
branch at ST. GEORGE'S CRESCENT, LIVERPOOL

ft MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.
FAIRBANKS' WEIGHING MACHINES,
with or without
POOLEY'S NEW PATENTED IMPROVEMENTS,
adapted for Shops, Wharfs, Roads, and Railwais.
HENRY POOLEY AND SON,
27, MANCHESTER-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
CONTINUE THE

SOLE MAKERS UNDER THE PATENT.
Some of their advantages are—
I.—Economy in Price ; to the extent of from 25 to 40 per
cent. _ _ _

ll.—Economy in Time and Labour ;—only the one hun-
dredth part of the weights is required to be lifted; one-half of
the time occupied in weighing is entirely saved.
111,—Economy in Space ;—they have only one Platform or
Scale; no fixtures are required for suspension; no room is oc-
cupied by weights. _ _

IV.—Econoiny in Annual Expense ;--they require less pe-
riodical adjustment ; the centres are detached from their
bearings, and of course exempt from wear, except at the mo-
ment of ascertaining the weight.

As a-Weigh-bridge for weighing Wagons on common roads,
and for Trucks or Wagons on Railways, this Machine is pe-
culiarly adapted. It may be fixed, if required, in a pit only
fifteen inches deep; it occupies only half the usual space in
the office; it is more exact in its indications than any of the
old kinds of Weigh-bridges. The celebrity of
FAIRBANKS' MACHINES,

POOLEY'S MKNUFACTURE,
has induced many imitations, having a professed and specious
resemblance, at a low price. To guard the Public from imposi
tion, and the invention from losing its high standing by the
hands of incompetent makers,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY.

In answer to a question from Mr. Thorneley,
Mr. C. GLYN said a great many of the engine drivers on
the North-Western Railway had returned to their duty,
and the trains would henceforth be worked with the same
punctuality and safety as heretofore.
On the motion for going into Committee of Supply,
Lord G. BENTINCK moved as an amendment, " That an
humble address be presented to the Crown, praying that
her Majesty will be graciously pleased to direct the Earl
of Elgin forthwith to transmit to the Secretary for the
Colonies copies of omitted correspondence between the
Provincial Secretary of Canada and the Secretary to the
Montreal Board of Trade, and will direct that the same be
laid before the house." The noble lord entered at great
length into the comparative expense of navigating vessels
to Montreal and New York, showing that the repeal of
the Navigation Laws would not be so advantageous to the
Canadians as the people were led to believe by those who
were its supporters. He denied the right of the Colonial
Office to select such portions of the correspondence as the
Colonial Secretary thought proper, and to suppress such
as did not agree with the ministerial views.
Lord J. RUSSELL declined to be led into a discussion
on the navigation laws, but would confine himself to the
point raised by the noble lord's motion, which carried with
it the impression that the Earl of Elgin was to blame for
suppressing a portion of certain correspondence that ought
to have been laid before the house, and should be repri-
manded for so doing, and ordered to supply the deficien-
cies immediately. The noble lord (Russell) then pro-
ceeded to state the circumstances under which the omis-
sion had taken piece, exonerating Lord Elgin from all
blame in the matter. He was not averse to the produc-
tion of the documents, and Mr. Hawes would ask leave to
lay them on the table of the house.
• The motion was negatived without a division.

PETERBOROUGH CORN MARKET, AUG. 19.
We have a short supply of Wheat to-day, and there is also
very little spring grain offering. The high prices asked for
Wheat checked business at the beginning of the market, but at
the close an advance of 3s. to 4s. was established, witn a good
demand. Beans, Oats, and Barley each exceeded low rates by
s. per quarter. The bulk of the Wheat crop is cut in this dis•
trict, but yesterady being the only fine day we have had for
some time, but little has been secured, and that not in good
condition.

The greatest anxiety is manifested throughout the
capital from the rumours current about an insurrectional
movement hurried, if not caused by the threatened debate
on the report and documents inculpating Ledru Rollin,
Caussidiere, and Louis Blanc. The Government had
received information of an inten3ed insurrection, and
taken the most determined precautions.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. IS.

Unfavourable weather in this district for harvest operations,
accompanied by serious apprehensions of a failure of the potato
crop, have acted prejudicially upon the market, which has ex-
hibited much heaviness throughout the week ; prices have
again been somewhat in the buyers' favour, but are to-day more
steady, holders showing less disposition to offer their stocks.
Exporters have taken 3020 American and 20 Surat, and specu-
lators 500 American.

ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON,
For the week ending August 18, 1848.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, AUGUST 19.
To-day we have fine dry weather, with a strong breeze. This
has induced many farmers to remain at home to superintend
the harvest operations, in consequence of which we have had a
small supply of Wheat at to-day's market. There were three
samples of new wheat offered for sale, one of which, a prime
sample of four wiudles, fetched 30s._; the other was short of
condition, and realized only 235.; the largest lot of nineteen
windles was unsold at twelve o'clock, though 275. was offered
for it. Buyers seeing the small supply, were very eager at the
commencement of the market, and ran prices up 2s. per windle.
Towards the close the selling was less animated, so that from
Is. 6d. to 2s. may be quoted as the actual advance. Flour is
about Is. per load dearer. Oats have advanced Id. per bushel,
and Irish Meal from Is. to Is. 6d. per load; farmers' Meal un-
changed in value. The general opinion amongst farmers is,
that the Wheat crop will be dificient as to quantity. There is
less straw, and of course fewer heads, and the yield of each
head is less than an average. The quality, if the weather should
prove favourable for housing the crops, will be quite an aver-
age. The prevalence and progress of the disease amongst the
early kinds of potatoes induces the growers to hurry them to
market, so that to-day we had an over-abundant supply, there.
being upwards of 70 cart loads expo.,:eti in Fishergate alone
We noticed some bad samples which were offered at Is. per
load, but even at that price no sales could be effected. Good
samples sold readily, whilst those which were partially affected
very dull of sale. Altogether the market was not so brisk as
previous ones. The general selling of fair, average, and good
samples, was at last week's quotations.

POETRY.

CHOPIN'S PLAYING,

To Paradise nearer,
And seems a thanksgiving,
From all that are living
With ecstacy thrilling,
The heart-tones distilling,
There wild bells are tinkling, Through space resound lowly
And shooting stars twinkling : Pathetic and holy.
Great meteors are rushing, Like a chant of the fairies
Soft strearnlets are gushing, The harmony varies,
Through meadows of flowers, With long drawn whisperings,
And deep shady bowers, Out of life's hidden springs,
Full of music the maddest, Till the wizard awaking,
The sweetest, the saddest, With every nerve shaking,
Men's ears all entrancing Pours a last peal of thunder
Now nightingales breathing;
Now fierce oceans seething; So his magical fingers,
The wild cadence dying, With exquisite skill,
To heaven in flying, Make a music that lingers
Bears the soul of the hearer In memory still.
Fraser's Magazine.

The pale wizard's fingers
With magical ill,
Make tousle that lingers
In memory still.

CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OR FLUID EXTRACT OF

THE FINEST
JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.

THIS most efficient and agreeable Preparation of
that well-known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA
SARSAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific
method, by which the whole of the aromatic and volatile
parts are preserved ; and the experience of many. years
has fully established the reputation of this Medicine, as
containing more of the virtues of the root than any
other preparation. Its beneficial effects have been par-
ticularly striking in the following complaints : Nocturnal
Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlargement of the Glands,
Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheumatism, &c., &c. ; in free-
ing the system after a course of Mercury its beneficial effects
are very powerful. It purifies the blood, and by giving to the
cutaneous vessels a healthy and regular action, it removes that
disposition to Erysipilatous Inflammation from which so many
persons periodically suffer; and when taken in the Spring and.
Fall of the Year as an Alterative Medicine, it will be found to
impart that strength to the constitution which is indicated by
firmness of flesh, good appetite, and freshness of the com-
plexion.
