our own town ; that, in Short, to be an Irish or an
Orange Protestant was no longer to he treated as a
crime or a reproach.
We might almost be excuse& if we were even
sanguine enough to hope for a further result of the
lesson which had been taught us. We imagined
that Liberalism, even, would henceforth be slow in
bestowing its sympathies upon the bleatings of
Irish grievance mongers ; that it would be some
time before its oracles would proclaim themselves
the champions of men whose hands were so recently
prepared to fill our town—the town which received

Etstrirt Relus.

Last week a prisoner in Chester Castle named Peter
Thomas committed suicide by strangling himself. He had
formerly been a respectable publican in Manchester.
The bill to confirm the incorporation of Ashton, War-
rington, and other towns, which have recently had charters
granted to them, has been introduced, and it will be passed
without opposition.
SALT.—A spring of brine has just been " tapped," by
Mr. B. Smith, at Droitwich, Cheshire, at the depth of
217 feet, being a greater depth than any before discovered,.
the usual depth being 170 or 180 feet.
On Monday, as the Fenella, steamer. from Douglas,
Isle of Man, was proceeding on her passage to Fleetwood,
she ran down a coasting flat, on board of which were two
tmen, and completely cut her in two. Fortunately, both
he men were taken in safety on board the Fenella.
The fine Runic Cross, which originally stood in the
churchyard of St. Mary's, Lancaster, and was subse-
quently conveyed to Kendal, where it was purchased by the
late• Dr. Holme, is to find a permanent resting-place within
the walls of the Natural History Society's Museum, of
Manchester. •

THE EXPECTED PRICE OF POTATOES.-A person in the
neighbourhood of Leyland has bought one hundred loads
of potatoes, Cheshire pinkeyes, to be delivered sound, at
Christmas next, at 6s. per load, 2401 b. to the load. This
shows that some people expect potatoes to be at a reason-
able price this season.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.-A distressing occurrence of
this painful character took place at Poulton-le-Fylde on
Tuesday, when Mr. Arthur Smith, of that town, termi-
nated his existence by cutting his throat with a razor,
without occasioning any disturbance to his brother, Mr.
Thomas Smith, who slept in another bed in the same room
as the one in which deceased laid.
A tesselated pavement, measuring about three feet by
two, and composed of about 40 tiles embedded in mortar
with black cinders, has been found at Holt Castle, near
Rochdale. The curiosity of antiquaries has been greatly
aroused by this discovery, as it is said to be the first time
that tesselated pavement has been found among the ruins
of a Norman building.
A seizure of pikes has been made at Manchester by the
police, at a place where the manufacturers had taken them
to be ground. It is believed that they were not intended
for a local market, but were destined for Ireland. The
two men, in whose possession they were found, were set
at liberty on Tuesday, on their own recognisances. Two
further seizures were made on Thursday.

DIVISION ON THE BALLOT.—In the majority of 86 on
Tuesday night, in the House of Commons, in favour of
vote by ballot for members of parliament, were A. Henry,
W. Brown, J. Heywood, J. Bright, R. Cobden, J. Bro-
therton, T. Thornely, T. M. Gibson, G. C. Glyn, G.
Thompson, and most of the liberal small-fry, except Mr.
Ewart. In the minority of 81 were Sir T. B. Birch, J.

THE MORNING AFTER THE FIGHT.

But the sun is shining still, and the-little birds are
twittering merrily upon the house-tops, and the caged
canaries chirp at windows, and perchance there is the
merry laugh of children. All these things heed not the
terror and desolation of that city. It is shining still—
into huge c!iurches also, where thick masses of straw are
littered down, and the wounded lie in hundreds to over-
flowing—into courts, where again is scattered straw, and
again groan wounded and dying—upon street side pave-
ments, where again are strewn these sad beds of the vic-
tims of civil co'itention, excited by the most frantic of
delusions—and through narrow windows, into prison
vaults and palace cellars, where are crowded together
masses of prisoners, who, for the most part, regret not
the part they have played in the scenes of blood, and sit
gloomily upon the damp stone, brooding over schemes
of vengeance upon the detested bourgeois, should they
escape, and .he Red Republic ever be triumphant !

vantage for both Beef and Mutton, and a few Beasts and Sheep
unsold at the close of the market.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Auc. 11.
Considerable dulness has characterised the market during
the week, and the operations of the trade have been limited ;
the demand for export continues good, but it is chiefly confined
to the better qualities. Prices of American are still slightly in
favour of the buyer, and may be considered it per lb. tower dur-
ing the fortnight; Brazil. Egyptian, and Surat are without
change, though heavy of sale at the quotations. 1700 Atherican
and 100 Bahia have been taken on sneculation, and 5710 Ameri-
can, 300 Pernambuco and 280 Madras for export.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

Lord Hardinge left town with his staff this morning
for Kilkenny.
The camp at Thurles has been struck, and General
M'Donald has moved his troops, consisting of the Rifles,
74th and 85th infantry, together with the whole of his
cavalry, to Limerick. The final destination of the column
is supposed to be Abbeyfeale, where Mr. O'Gorman is
said to be at the head of an insurgent force.
THURLES, SUNDAY, 3 .m.—At one o'clock p.m. this
day, the Light Division (or Flying column, as they are
termed,) which have been scouring the country for the
last ten days, under Gen. M`Donald, consisting of two
light six-pounders, Royal Artillery, one company sappers
and miners, the 60th Riles, and the 85th Light Infantry,
received orders to strike tents and proceed by railway to
Limerick, en route to the county Clare, where a rising is
expected. The tents were struck, baggage loaded, and
the men off the ground in one hour afterwards. The 74th
Regiment proceed to Tipperary. The 85th Light Infantry
escorted Smith O'Brien to the railway on yesterday even-
ing. The men have been served out with canteens and
blankets, as on service, and have suffered from the rain
and damp of the ground in camp, but are, notwithstand-
ing, very healthy, and in great spirits. The 75th Regi-
ment are under canvass at Ballingarry, county Tipperary,
vacated by General MacDonald."

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Asr ADMIRER OF Fr RAINESS.—Our correspondent can gratify
his very proper wish to show his respect for our inestimable
chief magistrate by leaving his subscription at any of the
newspaper offices, where books for the purpose are kept.
We expect that the amount of donations will be such as to
justify the committee in procuring a more costly and mag-
nificent testimonial than was at first contemplated.
We believe that Mr. Conybeare has been presented, by his re-
lative the Dean of Llandaff, to the vicarage of Axminster,
Devon.
A correspondent at Croston, a village which stands on the banks
of the river Yarrow, shortly before it empties itself into the
river Douglas, derides the notion of conveying the water
of the former stream to Liverpool. He says the inhabitants
cannot drink the water or use it for domestic purposes. It
is, in fact, worse than useless for such objects—if used for
washing the articles are turned quite yellow.
In an advertisement, last week, of the Upper front of a ware-
house to be let, in Duke-street," the words ought to have been
"Upper Part."
We are afraid our compositors could scarcely decipher the
writing of "Argos," the ink which he has used being scarcely
perceptible, but his suspicions, we think, are groundless.
The complaints of an Irish Protestant are just and ought to be
redressed, but his letter being written on both sides and only
received yesterday, we cannot find room for it.
Though we may agree with many of the statements of" I. Clan-
datus," we cannot think that the " report," to which he re-
fers, deserves the wholesale condemnation he strives to cast
on it.
"J. H. S."—An excellent letter under this signature, addressed
to Cousin Tim, the author of a letter in a late number of the
Mercury, on the merits of the Roscoe Club, has been received.
After stating the advantages of such clubs, he says—" Our
aunt would no doubt be surprised at hearing the enjoyment
you receive, for a subscription of 255. per annum, at the
Roscoe Club. You may not, however, be aware that equal
advantages, and for less expense, may he had at a society
of which I have for some time been a member, the Brunswick
Club. The subscription is Iss. Der annum, which entitles
you to the advantages of dining., for one shilling, on soups,
fish, and joints, in the company of highly esteemed men of
character, business, and intellectual attainment. You have
exercises of every description—in and out of doors ; a library,
a news-room, classes for music, &c., at (he says) charges as
low as those of the Roscoe Club, and thinks that his aunt,
with her usual partiality for economy, will see the Brunswick
Club presents a decided advantage."

CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The splendid service of plate, valued at £7OO, from the
inhabitants of Birmingham to the Bishop of Manchester,
was presented on their behalf by the Mayor on Thursday.

The Rev. J. W. Birley, M.A., has been presented by
the vicar of Lancaster, to the perpetual curacy of Little-

Her Majesty and Prince Albert have subscribed £lOO

The Court is expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace
to-day, and to return to Osborne on Thursday.

The Duchess of Kent arrived at Osborne House on
Friday, on a visit to the Queen.

The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the
royal children, proceeded from Osborne on Tuesday to
the Portsmouth regatta, and returned to Osborne at about

or" kr a.autaLlars taac el WAS perumueu oy
her Majesty's desire, for the amusement of the juvenile
royal family. This consists in a boy being put in a small
boat or punt with one oar, and propelling himself in various
directions, dabbling about with three or four fleet rowers
in gigs or wherries after him, the object being to take him
out of the punt : this was not accomplished in the usual
way. The " Squirrel" being hard pressed, took to the
water, whither his pursuers ought according to the rule of
the game to have ,followed him, but instead of doing so,
one of them thrust a,boAt's hook at him, and booked him
out. Zip prize was witt4eld in continence.

LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL MARKET, AvG. 11.
There has been kivery good inquiry for strong brown de-
scriptions of Sttgar Ti,r the refiners, and rather higher prices
have been realized; but for grocery qualities the demand is
still limited, and no improvement can be obtained upon former
rates; the sales consist of 1230 'Aids. 8.P., 3500 bags of Bengal,
and 2000 bags of Mauritius. There has been rather more busi-
ness this week in Foreign ; the sales amount to 1900 bags Per-
nambuco, chiefly to the refiners, at 40s. for ordinary white, 530
hhds. 20 barrels Porto Rico and Cuba Muscovado to the gro-
cers, at from 365. to 425. 6d., and ICO bags Venezuela at 395.
per cwt.-500 casks Antigua Molasses have been sold at 18s. to
18s. 6d. per cwt., chiefly from the quay, the quality at the lower
price being ordinary.
There was a fair demand for Jamaica Coffee in the early part
of the week, and 150 tierces were sold by auction at former
prices; subsequently, however, there has been less disposition
to purchase, mid 70 tierces offered yesterday were all withdrawn
for want of buyers. Of Foreign, the sales are limited to GOO
bags Laguayra, chiefly of fine quality, at very full rates.-300
bags of Para Cocoa sold from the quay at 285., 50 bags 1500
pockets East India Ginger at I7s. per cwt., 50 bags of Pimento
at 34d. to 4d., and 300 bags Sincapore Black Pepper at 20. to
2d. per lb. . .

The sales of Rice are very extensive, comprising 25,000 bags
of Bengal, from Ss. 3d. for yellow cargo, and 9s. to 138. per
cwt. for low broken to fine white, all in ria.
There is a fair demand for Rum, without any change in price ;
the sales are about 320 puns., at Is. 7d. for proof East India
and Leeward Island, at 2s. 7. to 2s. 9d. for 34 to 37 per cent.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 12.

The weather during the week has been showery and variable;
and thoug'i no decided injury can yet be done, it appears by
reports from the agricultural districts that little progress has
yet been made in harvest work. The potatoe blight seems to
be increasing in virulence in all quarters of the kingdom.
The trade during the week has been steady at low rates, with
fair demand for current consumption ; and the same has been
the case at Liverpool and Wakefield. To-day the weather bears
an improved aspect : our market is slow for every article, but
we do not see reason to alter the currency of our last in any
particular.

Mistrirt Rell3o.

Last week a prisoner in Chester Castle named Peter
Thomas committed suicide by strangling himself. He had
formerly been a respectable publican in Manchester.
The bill to confirm the incorporation of Ashton, War-
rington, and other towns, which have recently had charters
granted to them, has been introduced, and it will be passed
without opposition.
SALT.—A spring of brine has just been "tapped," by
Mr. B. Smith, at Droitwich, Cheshire, at the depth of
217 feet, being a greater depth than any before discovered,
the usual depth being 170 or 180 feet.
On Monday, as the Fenella, steamer, from Douglas,
Isle of Man, was proceeding on her passage to Fleetwood,
she ran down a coasting flat, on board of which were two
tmen, and completely cut her in two. Fortunately, both
he men were taken in safety on board the Fenella.
The fine Runic Cross, which originally stood in the
churchyard of St. Mary's, Lancaster, and was subse-
quently conveyed to Kendal, where it was purchased by the
late Dr. Holme, is to find a permanent resting-place within
the walls of the Natural History Society's Museum, of
Manchester.

THE EXPECTED PRICE OF POTATOES.—A person in the
neighbourhood of Leyland has bought one hundred loads
of potatoes, Cheshire pinkeyes, to be delivered sound, at
Christmas next, at 6s. per load, 2401 b. to the load. This
shows that some people expect potatoes to be at a reason-
able price this season.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—A distressing occurrence of
this painful character took place at Poulton-le-Fylde on
Tuesday, when Mr. Arthur Smith, of that town, termi-
nated his existence by cutting his throat with a razor,
without occasioning any disturbance to his brother, Mr.
Thomas Smith, who slept in another bed in the same room
as the one in which deceased laid.

A tesselated pavement, measuring about three feet by
two, and composed of about 40 tiles embedded in mortar
with black cinders, has been found at Holt Castle, near
Rochdale. The curiosity of antiquaries has been greatly
aroused by this discovery, as it is said to be the first time
that tesselated pavement has been found among the ruins
of a Norman building.
A seizure of pikes has been made at Manchester by the
police, at a place where the manufacturers had takenthem
to be ground. It is believed that they were not intended
for a local market, but were destined for Ireland. The
two men, in whose possession they were found,, were set
at liberty on Tuesday, on their own recognisances. Two
further seizures were made on Thursday.
DIVISION ON THE BALLOT.—In the majority of 86 on
Tuesday night, in the House of Commons, in favour of
vote by ballot for members of parliament,. were A. Henry,
W. Brown, J. Heywood, J. Bright, R. Cobden, J. Bro-
