IMPORTANT EVENT.

It is said that Mr. Smith O'Brien is to be made a mem-
ber of the Merchant Tailor's Company on the first va-
cancy, in consideration of his " uniform" fondness for
greens, and especially for cabbage, as exhibited in the
Widow Cormack's garden. His art of cutting has also
excited the universal admiration of the master snips.

The sum of £lB 12s. was collected for the Liverpool
Church of England School Society at St. John the Evan-
gelist's Church, on Snnday last. The claims of the
society were advocated by the Rev. Henry H. Higgins)
minister of the church.
THE ALBERT WAREHOUSES.—We are assured that,.
after a very careful examination of the receipts and pay-
ments for the Albert Dock Warehouses, those splen-
did erections do not realise a profit of more than l 4 per
cent. There is plenty of food here for a lengthy oration
from Mr. Eyre Evans.
The body of special constables in Birkenhead now num-
bers nearly a thousand, and they are drilled every eve-
ning. The police have been provided with cutlasses, to.
the exercise of which they are being drilled, and in which.
they are becoming very expert. Bodies of special con-
stables at Oxton, Rock Ferry, and other places in Che-
shire, also assemble almost nightly for drill.
DEATH FROM CONGESTION OF THE LllNGS.—Yester-
day an inquest was held on view of thebody of Henry
Bateson, of Craven-street, aged 60. Deceased was a
weigher. On Friday evening deceased complained of
being ill in his bowels, and kept his bed all day. At four
on Saturday morning he became much worse, but refused
to take anything. Shortly after twelve o'clock at noon,
the person with whom he lodged went up to him,. and
found him quite dead. It was found that death was
caused by congestion of the lungs, arising from an affec-
tion of the bowels. _

BANKRUPTCY OF JAMAICA.—It will be seen from our
summary elsewhere of the West Indian intelligence, that
the financial state of the Island of Jamaica is extremely
bad. The Receiver-General of the public Treasury had
issued a notice that he was without funds, and could not
pay the salaries falling due, but that he would give notice
as soon as he could pay a moiety of the amounts due.
The Jamaica Dispatch says that the payments of the
September quarter also cannot be met, and the Treasury
may be said to be a bankrupt, there being a deficiency of
£14,000.
IMPUGENT ROBBERY.--Yesterday, at the Police-court,
two mere youths, Thomas Wilson and David Higgins,
were charged by Alfred Kershaw with having on Friday
gone into a house in Soho-street, in which there was, at
the time, only a little girl, and asked for a bundle of
clothes in blue and white, which he said was his. It was
given to him. It appeared that part of the family in the
house had very shortly before come from Staleybridge ;
that the prisoners had got into company with one of them
on his arrival here, had watched him to the place, and
could describe the bundle which he carried, as that
given to him by the child. They were both committed
for trial.
OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—At
the Police-court, yesterday, a man who had been employed
at Mr. H. Littledale's, in Wallasey, was charged with
having obtained in Liverpool several small sums by way
of loan, he stating that he was short of money, and had to
make several purchases for Mr. H. or his lady. It ap-
peared that there was no truth in such representations ;
but that as he had not actually stated that his master or
mistress had authorized him to say so, the cases adduced
were insufficient in law for a commitment of the pri-
soner ; but he was remanded, in order that enquiry might
be made into some other alleged offences of a similar
nature.
COMMITMENTS AT THE POLICE-COURT, YESTERDAY.
Rosanna Burns, and Ellen Mc. Ginnis, charged by Eliza-
beth Connor with picking her pocket of 9s. in St Martin's
market, on Saturday, were committed to gaol for three
mouths.—Several fellows found haunting the town at late

hours, were committed for three months.—A woman
named Mary Twist, was charged with having robbed a
man named John Bird of £1 ls., while he was drinking
with her in Finch-street. She was an old offender, and
was committed for trial at the sessions. Mary Coyle, for
stealing several pairs of stays, a corset, and a cloak,
(worth in all about £7,) from a shop in Bold-street, was
committed for trial.
THE ANDERTON CARRYING COMPANY.—Yesterday, a
general meeting of this company was held in the Claren-
don-rooms, Mr. Robinson Duckworth in the chair. Mr.
F. Boult, after passing a warm eulogium on the directors,
moved a formal dissolution of the company, which being
seconded by Mr. Holt, was carried unanimously. The
chairman then observed that their deed of settlement re-
quired that there should be another meeting before the
act of dissolution could be legally carried out, and that it
was necessary to give ten days notice of such meeting. It
was proposed to hold a meeting on the 19th instant, which
would be duly advertised. [We learn that the company
having been purchased by the Earl of Ellesmere, the above
proceedings are necessary to effect a legal transfer.]
the Liverpool IMPARTIAL
urfiWal/T,NiESSaSt.—Mr. Whitty, the editor of
present in Ireland, and we
quote the following paragraph from a letter which he pub-
lished in that paper on Saturday last, merely premising
that Mr. W. is a Roman Catholic of the first water. He
says :—" They err who suppose the Catholic clergy averse
to revolution. A few Italianised divines may act on the
law that all power is from God, and rebellion, therefore,
sinful ; but the majority entertain no such notions; they
are of the people—with the people—and, in politics, are
Irishmen rather than priests. In rebellion, the bishops
could not restrain them. There is no doubt that many
of them consider an outbreak at some future day as in-
evitable ; and it is a fact that several have provided them-
selves with those ecclesiastical robes suitable to the ad-
ministration of the rites of the church in the camp and
the battle-field."
IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Mr. W. T. Callon, surgeon,
of Islington, has communicated the particulars of a case
which recently came under his attention, and which should
operate as a warning to the public against the use in culi-
nary operations of a certain description of glazed pan.
One of his patients was recently taken ill after eating
some preserves made in a glazed pan, and the pan was
submitted to Dr. Brett, who says, that having chipped off
some of the enamel, and submitted it to analysis, he ob-
tained unequivocal evidence of the presence of arsenic.
He adds that having made some experiments with another
pan of the same description, he finds that certain acids
are capable of acting upon the enamel and seperating the
arsenic therefrom. The orginal patentees of the glazed
pan have certificates from the most eminent men denying
altogether that there is anything deleterious in the articles
of their manufacture, but they, of course, cannot be an-
swerable for those made by other parties.

GENERAL TRADE REPORT.

Monday Night.

Some time back the arrest of Smith O'Brien would have
created a sensation on 'Change ; but that gentleman's
late conduct, pretty clearly evidencing that he may be
looked upon as a political non-entity, has taken away the
charm which might otherwise attach to the inheritor of the
ancient honours of Irish chieftainship. Alas ! he has
fallen into the hands of the Philistines, and no one thinks
his misfortunes worthy a passing observation. The best
thing government can do for him will be to place him
under a little wholesome restraint, so that he may neither
commit himself nor his countrymen to the perpetration of
such dangerous eccentricities in future. The Irish question,
indeed, seems to have nearly lost its influence on public se.
curities. Consols opened at 871 to 4- on Saturday, but owing
to a large sale of stock and anxiety from the state of the
weather, they receded to 861 to 87, at which they closed.
For the 7th of September the last price was 86/ to 87k.
The grievance to the West India interest, which we men-
tioned a fortnight since, has been partially removed, in
the ',increase of duty on continental refined sugars from
245. Bd. to 265. Bd.. which, although a trifling alteration,
has given some satisfaction, but on the whole it is looked
upon merely as a compromise. •
With reference to our COBH Market, it is a curious
fact, that while Wheat has been held very firmly here
to-day on account of the heavy rains which have fallen in
this district, it is Is. lower in the London market, with a
dull sale, owing to the favourable weather which prevails
in the south ; and the accounts by telegraph from all parts
of the country report the weather as being very fine.
Although there has been little passing in the Wheat trade
here to-day, speculators have shewn a disposition to pur-
chase; and the prices of other articles remain the same
as on Friday, with the exception of Indian Corn, which
sells slowly, and is somewhat lower. Our imports into
this port since Thursday have been :-Wheat, from Ire-
land 258 qrs. ; Barley, Europe 720 qrs. ; Oats, Ireland
580 qrs., coastwise 175 ; Oatmeal, Ireland 10 lds. ; Flour,
Ireland 490 sacks, Canada 200 brls. Exports:-Wheat,
for Ireland 80 qrs., coastwise 12 ; Beans, coastwise 200
qrs. ; Pease, coastwise 10 qrs. ; Indian Corn, Ireland 910
qrs. ; Indian Corn Meal, Ireland 226 brls. ; Flour, Ireland
67 sacks, coastwise 20 sacks 100 brls.-Generally speak-
ing, the reports of the POTATO crop are more favourable
throughout England ; but the Irish accounts are very
conflicting, and we prefer laying extracts from letters and
circulars before our readers to expressing any decided
opinion upon the subject ourselves ; we have, how-
ever, said before, and our belief is still the same,
that the evil is not so great as is anticipated :-
Belfast : With respect to the Potato crop, whilst there is
no doubt that some disease in the stocks and tubers has
shown itself as the early crop came to maturity, it has
been so limited as not to affect even this portion of the
crop to any great extent, and gives reason to hope that
the generai crop may escape with a similarly light amount
of disease • at the same time, all wait with anxiety the
result of the next three or four weeks.-Limerick: The
statements received respecting Potatoes are so varied and
contradictory, from different parts of the country, that it
is impossible to arrive at any conclusion that will apply
to. the entire crop, and were it not for the interest which
attaches to the subject, we should wait until a week or
two enabled us to write with more certainty. We regret
to say that the fields in this immediate locality exhibit a
very decided increase of disease within three or four days;
but, on the other hand, we are informed by many farmers
at a distance that there has seldom been a promise of a
better crop.-Waterford : We daily hear reports of blight
becoming more general in the Potato crop. Our market
well supplied at 6d. to 10d. per 161h.-Thaphal : More
extensive complaints of the spread of the disease, but
still' hopes are entertained that it may be checked, and
the greater portion of the crop saved in good condition.-
Cork := There is now no doubt of the existence of the
Potato disease to an alarming extent, and'we have reason
to think an official report has been made to Government
snbstantiating the fact.
The Corrox market has been somewhat influenced
this week by less favourable accounts front Manchester;
and although sales up to Friday averaged 5,300 bales
daily, rice at the close were a shade in favour of buyers,
but we can make no alteration in the quotations.
On Saturday about 3500 bales were sold, 500 for export :
the market continued dull, but without material change
in prices. The sales TO-DAY are about 5,000 bales ;
of which. 700 are Surats, and the remainder chiefly
Americans, at 3d. to sd. per lb. The market has been
very quiet, and, perhaps, a little in favour of the pur-
chaser. About 500 bales have been takeraor export.-
The disasters of the times, so far, however casual de-
pressions. may have taken place, have left us, with respect
to this important branch of commerce, inn much more
favourable position than we occupied at this period last
year. Owing to a larger crop in America than was ex-
pected, and the almost total suspension, sinee Feb. last,
of shipments to the continent of Europe, we have already
received an excess of import from the United States over
last year of £398,000 bales, while there is only an excess
of stock of 114,000 bales, The consumption of all kinds
has increased this year 150,000 bales, or 5000 per week ;
and the total stock is now 585,800 against 413,100 bales.
The following table of receipts, exports, &c., received by
the• packet from the States to-day, show that the crop
is likely to prove little short of 2,300,000 bales, and
the prospects for the growing crop are so far favourable.
The receipts in the last week were only 144000 bales, the
season being nearly closed:-

For the last few days a greater disposition to purchase
has been displayed in the WooL trade. at some improve-
ment in prices. The stocks of Colonial, East India, and
home grown Wool are still large, and in the absence of
nearly ell exportation, we are entirely depending on home
consumption, which continues in a healthy and improving
condition. Public sales here are announced for the 10th
and 11th instant, And there are already advertised 1,800
bales Australian, 1,000 East India, and 600 of other de-
scriptions. They are expected to go off satisfactorily.
The imports here for the month are 6,984 bales, of which
1,553 are Australian, and 2,515 East India. Imports for
the week :-Foreign-Trieste 81, Smyrna 51, America 5,
previously 47,836, total 47,973; Seoteh-318, previously
6,542, total 6,860.
Since the public sales of China and Bengal SILK, there
has been a better feeling shown ; and though we have no
alteration to quote in prices, the market is decidedly
firmer, and the consumption Undiminished. The present
stock of China in the public warehouses is 15,216 bales,
and 4765 Bengal, which will account for prices continuing
to rule low. In Italian, Breese and Persia Silk there is
less offering ; but the transactions in these descriptions
have been very limited. Waste Silk: Both Knubbs and
Husks, and also Gum Waste, are unsaleable, and prices
nominal. Silk Piece Goads: There has been more in-
quiry for Corahs ; but importers still continue to hold for
higher rates : all other description of Silk Piece Goods.
are neglected.
Since the General Brokers' Circular was issued, there
has been a steady demand for Sugar of all descriptions,
and prices have been rather in favour of the seller. The
sales are, 100 hhds. Barbadoes, 365. to 435. 6d. ; 100 hhds.
Porto Rico, 375„ to 38s. ; 140 hhds. Demerara, 355. 6d.
to 38s. ; and 1,400 mats Mauritius, 335. 6d. to 365. 6d. ;
a cargo of Porto Rico has also been sold to the grocers.
A few Bengals have been placed at previous rates. A de-
mand has sprung up for Molasses ; the sales are, 500 pun-
cheons Antigua, at 18s. 3d. to 18s. 6d., from the quay.-
More business has been done in Saltpetre, but an ad-
vance could not be obtained ; 1,200 bags realised 275. to
255. 6d., for 2} to 5 per cent refraction.-Rum is not
much sought after.-Bengal Rice is in fair request,
about 6,000 bags have been sold at stiff prices.-
The business transacted in Mincing-lane during the week
has been large, and tile colonial markets generally present
a less heavy appearance. The public sales of sugar have
been considerable, and in several cases an advance of 6d.
per cwt. has been obtained. The refiners have come into
the market since the settlement of the duty on foreign re-
fined at the rate of 265. Bd. in lieu of 245. Bd. as previously
arranged, and have purchased extensively. In foreign
sugar some parcels have been offered publicly, which have
been generally realized at full rates, while privately, also,
a few cargoes have been sold afloat. A parcel of China
sugar, however, consisting of about 5,000 bags, has
changed hands at a very low price. The transactions in
coffee have been moderate, though a large quantity of
plantation Ceylon has been put up, and sold at full rates.
The native descriptions of Ceylon have been realised at
former quotations. Holders of Mocha are supporting the
market, and at a sale held on Friday 50s. per cwt. was
demanded for middling yellowish garbled. The tea mar-
ket has been heavy, and the actual business small.
The TIMBER market here has a little brighter aspect,
and all descriptions of timber (with the exception of
spruce and Baltic red deals) are a shade higher; all the
cargoes of square timber that have arrived have been sold
off the quay, but some of the parcels of spruce deals are
being stored on importers account. The import this year
up to the present time shews a large increase on last year
up to the same period, and if the manufacturing districts
continue to improve a higher rate of prices may be con-
fidently looked for.
The IRON Market is firm, and an advance price is ob-
tained for manufactured iron. Scotch Pig Iron is steady
at 455. per ton for mixed numbers.
The improvement noticed last week in the value of
AMERICAN Lard has scarcely been maintained since • of
the 400 tons offered at public sale on Tuesday, 70 ;ens
were disposed of at about previous rates, holders being
very firm. The transactions in Pork are nearly confined
to best parcels of " Prime Mess," which realise full prices.
The demand for Bacon is good, but owing to the large
supplies, a shade lower prices have resulted as regards
low qualities. Hams and Shoulders sell at about previ-
ous rates, with a steady inquiry. There is little anima-
tion in the Beef trade ; recent imports, of ordinary qua-
lity, have sold at 87s. 6d. @ 90s. About 1500 boxes of
Cheese were offered at auction on Tuesday ; very ordi-
nary quality, which constituted the principal part, sold at
o(sfreteo)
275. @ 335. ; the remainder, at 355. @ 385., with one lot
of 70 boxes, extra, at 435. The prices current are-

In consequence of large importations of IRISH Butter,
I. and dealers having a quantity of previous purchases on
hand, prices have receded in many cases ls. per cwt.
under the rates of this day week. Irish Bacon and Hams

are very little inquired for ; and the demand for Lard has
decreased. The following are the prices (landed in Liver-
pool) :—Butter : Waterford, new, 80s. to 84s. ; Kilkenny,
Carlow, and Clonmel, 80s. to 84s. ; Carrick, new, 795. to
82s. ; Wexford, Carlow, 80s. to 825.; Belfast, 80s. to 82s. ;
Ballymoney & Coleraine, 78s. to 80s. ; Banbridge, 78s. to
795. ; Newry and Dundalk, 725. to 765. • Londonderry,
765. to 78s. Bacon : Long Middles, free from bone,
new, 565. ; Short Middles, free from bone, new, 575.
Hams : Dry, 655. to 725. Lard : Fine Keg, 50s. to 525.
Arrivals for the week ending this day : Butter, 8852
firkins, 1815 crocks; Bacon, 74 bales; Hams, 4 hhds. ;
Lard, 8 tierces, 54 kegs.
The return from the Bank of England for the week
ending the 29th of July gives the following results, when
compared with the previous week :
Public deposits, £2,303,143 ; Decrease, .e 107,714.
Other deposits, 10,835,797 ; Decrease, 541,091.
Rest .. .. 3,506,556 ; Increase, 7,945.
On the other side of the account :
Govment. securities, 42,522,735; Decrease, £284,811.

Other securities 11;027,342; Decrease, 63,606.
Notes unemployed 8,118,990; Decrease, 291,850.
the amount of notes in circulation is £18,944,350,
being a decrease of £96,370; and the stock of bullion in
both departments is £13,710,104, showing a decrease of
£398,603, when compared with the preceding return.
The last monthly banking returns show a decrease of
£1,772,799 in the circulation of notes in England, and a
decrease of £2,940,529 in the circulation of the United
Kingdom, when compared with the corresponding period
last year; the difference from the previous month being
an increase of £397,595 in England, but a decrease of
£115,769 in the United Kingdom. They also show an
increase in the amount of bullion in the Bank of England
of £4,104,758 on the year, and £556,484 on the month;
and in the Scotch and Irish Banks, a decrease of 4-179,179
on the year, and an increase of £36,420 on the month.
Business in the West Indian islands is still in a very
unfavourable condition. The following is the report from
Jamaica, dated July Bth the present state of the
island few persons will purchase except to meet immediate
demand for consumption. Shippers should be very cautious-
in their supplies, as the present absence of speculation
may cause the smallest surplus of any article to damage
the market. Shippers of fish appear to forget that there
are places beside Jamaica to which that article might be
exported. Arrivals still continue to a most embarrassing
extent, and must result in loss. Tlse foreign trade in dry
goods is looking ups little. Several merchants arrived in
the steam-packet from Columbia, Bic., and would have
done business to some extent here, but the market is so
ill-assorted that the transactions have been limited.

ARREST OF SMITH O'BRIEN

AND TWO OTHERS.

Intelligence reached here yesterday morning of the
capture of Smith O'Brien, and his arrival in Dublin.
He was arrested on Saturday night, about eight o'clock,
at the Railway Station at Thurles, and was immediately
transmitted to Dublin, under a strong escort, by special
train, where he arrived about two o clock on Sunday
morning. When arrested he was about to take a ticket
for Limerick, at the railway station at Thurles, when he
was recognised by one of the guards, who, laying his
hand on his shoulder, said, "'You are Mr. O'Brien ; you
are the latteen's prisoner." Mr. O'Brien made no reply,
and theguard at once sent for the police, thirty-seven of
whom, with an inspector, arrived in a few minutes, and
took their captive before Prince George of Cambridge,
who transmitted him to Kilmainham Gaol, under an
escort of Lancers, where he at present lies. On reaching
the prison. he expressed an anxiety to retire to rest, as he
was a good deal fatigued, " having," he said, " walked a
considerable distance." Having been supplied with some
tea, he shortly after went to bed, and soon fellinto a pro-
found sleeps A third edition of the Dublin World states
that the following are the authentic particulars connected
with the arrest i—" About half-an-hour previous to the
starting of the train Mr. O'Brien asked one of the guards
the way to the place where the tickets are procured. The
guard, whose name is Hulme, and who is a fine young
fellow, an Englishman, who served some time in the
Manchester police-force, satisfied Mr. O'Brien's inqui-
ries and at the same moment recognised him. Hulme,
being on duty, could not leave his post, but he despatched
a soldier to the barracks with the verbal message that
Smith O'Brien was within reach. The soldier on-his way
to the barracks met Head-constable Hanover, Rhu is one
of a body of country detectives, and apprised him that
Smith O'Brien. was at the railway terminus. Hanover
said, " You dont't say so ; nonsense !—however, L have a
warrant for him 1.." Hulme pointed out the person of
O'Brien, who was immediately arrested. Mr. O'Brien
made no efforts-to disguise himself, but he had an aspect
of indescribable dejection and care. He had been re-
cently shaved, hut in other respects his toilette was very
imperfect. He was dressed in a black frock.coat and gray
tweed pantaloons. He was very cold, and Mr. Jones,
R.M., lent him .a great coat, for which courtesy he ex-
pressed' his thanks. He said he was weary of hiding
himself and of travelling day and night;. that he would a
thousand times rather encounter a battle than conceal
himself any longer, especially as he knew that, sooner or
later, he must have been taken. He had not changed his
linen for a week. When starting on his ill-s'arred enter-
prise he had a large supply of wearing apparel, but he had
gradually parted with it to the country people. Mr.
O'Brien was quite alone when apprehended. He was
armed with a single loaded pistol, but made not the least
resistance."

After Mr. O'Brien's departure from Thurles, two other
arrests took place' one of them Fitzpatrick, and another
named Nolan,.who is said to have come over for the pur-
pose of taking command of a division of the insurgents.
On Saturday morning, Francis Hanley, a student of
Trinity College,. was arrested in Dublin. He had been in
correspondence with O'Brien's party.
It is now expected that the other leaders. in the rebel-
lion will soon be captured. Mr. Meagher is said to be in
the Keeper Mountains, and Doheny slept on Friday night
in a cabin near Thurles. Hot pursuit is after him.

ROBBERY OB THE MAILS.-ATTACK ON A. POLICEMAN.

On Saturday as the up and down mails between Limer-
ick and Tralee arrived at Abbey Fell, about twenty miles
from Cahirmoyle, the seat of Mr. O'Brien, the coach was
surrounded by some hundreds of the country people well
armed, who demanded the fire-arms and the mail bags,
which were giNcen up to them by the guard, resistance
being useless. On reaching Limerick, the guard gave
information to the authorities. Near the place of this
attack, the country people seized a policeman in coloured
clothes, who had a warrant for the arrest of Mr. O'Gor-
man. They searched him and took his watch, £lO and a
six-barrelled pistol. They tore the warrant in pieces,
kept him five hours in custody, and then discharged him.
Subsequently the money was returned to him.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE VIA HOLYHEAD
AND CHESTER.
DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING.
The arrest of Mr. S. O'Brien has not produced that
excitement which many would expect.
Yesterday Mr. O'Brien partook of a hearty breakfast,
and seemed wonderfully cheerful notwithstanding his aw-
ful position.
In the course of the afternoon Mr. O'Brien's solicitor
called and sought admission, but was peremptorily refused,
as were all applicants notwithstanding their rank or
station.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
(BY EXPRESS.)

Advices are in town from Dantzic, yid Ostend, which
report revolutionary tumults in that city. All the better
class of the inhabitants, resident foreigners as well, were

LATEST FROM PARIS,
PARIS, SUNDAY, 6 30 P.M.

Nothing of importance has transpired to-day, nor has
any foreign news arrived since my despatch of this morn-
ing. There prevails, however, a general feeling of ap-
prehension, and some families have decided on leaving
Paris for a fortnight. I cannot trace this to any definite
cause. It may probably arise from the apprehension of
the consequences of the debate on the report of the insur-
rection.

MONEY MARKET—YESTERDAY.
The satisfactory nature of the accounts from Ireland, and
generally from the Continent, improved the funds, and made
an apparently strong market this morning at the com-
mencement of business. Consols advanced to, and were
firm at, 87} to # for money and the 10th instant. But
some rather considerable parcels of money stock which
were pressed for sale at this stage of prices, speedily re-
duced them to 862 to 1, at which they now remain. It is
reported to have been discovered that it is a " bull" instead
of a "bear" account, as before supposed, and hence that hold-
ers are anxious to get out of stock purchased on speculation of
higher rates. The dealers and brokers are much occupied in
preparing for the liquidation of accounts on Thursday next, the
10th. Reduced Threes are 862 to Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 87i to Exchequer Bills, 395. to 425. premium.

LONDON SHARE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The Share market is heavy this morning, with prices of a
downward complexion. We quote London and North Westerns,
124 to 6 ; Eastern Counties, l4i to ; Brightons, 29} to ;
North Staffords, 91 to 9 dis. ; Great Northerns, to 3 dis.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The supply of Wheat, by land-carriage samples from the
near counties, was but moderate this morning. Early in the
day an effort was made to obtain an advance upon the quota-
tions of Monday last, which was, however, only successful in a
few instances, and the trade eventually closed rather heavy, at
the rates of that day. Very little business was done in either
bonded or floating cargoes.
Barley, for grinding purposes, was in fair demand, and its
value was Well maintained. The sale for Oats was far from
brisk, but prices cannot be quoted lo er. New white Peas
were Is. to 2s. dearer. Beans firm, without alteration in value.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
Although the number of Beasts is larger, there is a considera
ble falling off in weight. A great many are coining to market
in very middling condition ; they have evidently done badly at
grass ; consequently, the best descriptions fully maintain Fri-
day's quotations ; indeed, nearly 4s. 4d. has been obtained for
selling qualities. The supply of Sheep and Lambs is hardly so
large as on Monday last; trade is more cheerful, and the best
qualities are making rather more money. Owing to the non-
arrival of some Dutch boats, the supply of Calves is much
shorter; prices have consequently advanced about 4d. per 81bs.

THE IRON TRADE OP SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—It
is gratifying to be able to state upon unquestionable au-
thority, that within the last fortnight there has been a
decided improvement in the iron trade of these districts.
Orders for all kinds of iron are abundant : but althogh an
advance of prices has been seriously discussed, none has
yet taken place upon those fixed at the recent quarterly
meetings of the trade. Another pleasing feature of the
present times is the apparent good understanding which
exists between the masters and the men.
