LIVERPOOL WOOL SALES.

(From the Circular of Messrs. Datcsotl and Hance.)
GENELEMEN,—The Public Sales of Colonial and Fo•
reign Wool, which have continued daily from Wednesday
till this afternoon, were fully attended. The general con-
dition of the Australian Wools was excellent, and the
competition, we think, increased daily, though no positive
advance of price was extracted from the several claimants
for each lot, when knocked down.
We quote prices at full London rates, (7th August
sales) particularly on best descriptions.
Prices of Foreign Wools we consider a shade lower,
with the exception of the best qualities of East India,
which maintained full rates.
The Sale of Low Foreign Wool this morning was fiat,
and a good many lots were withdrawn, the offers being►
in some instances, much below the limits of owners.
Business in the Manufacturing districts, however, con:
tinues steady and most extensive ; which the security 01
the Harvest and consequent demand for Home Goods•
will most probably render permanent for the next two
months.

REPEAL RENT.—The amount of rent announced on
Monday for the previous week was £575, being the least
amount collected since the incarceration of the conspira-
tors.
Miss PEEL.—Accounts received in London on Sun-
day from Drayton Manor were favourable as regards the
recovery of Miss Peel, and her medical attendants are of
opinion that all danger is over, notwithstanding fever
remained
THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM SHIP.—The Britiol
Mirror, of Saturday, states on undoubted authority that
arrangements are in progress by which this splendid steam
ship will be floated out of the harbour either in October
or the early part of November.
A hundred and sixty-one private bills were passed
during the late sessile, and there were forty-seven other,
private bills which did not receive the royal assent. Of
the bills that passed, forty-seven related to railway..
Three divorce bills received the royal assent.
SERIOUS CHARGE.—An officer of marines, now sta-
tioned at Cork, Lieutenant Puddicombe, has been com-
mitted to gaol in that city, charged with having stolen s
quantity of plate from the house of a gentleman where be
was present as a visitor at a ball. The officer states the
plate is his own.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—In consequence of the nil'
favourable state of the weather last night the splendid ev
hibitious which were announced at these gardens have
been postponed until to-morrow (Wednesday) evening'
when we trust Mr. J. Atkins who has so long so success:
fully catered for the public amusement will receive that
support to whph he is so well entitled.
OPERATIVE PROTESTANT AssociaTiorr.e—We per:
ceive that to-morrow evening a sermon will be preached,
at St. Augustine's Church by the eloquent defender of
Protestant truth, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, for the benefit
of this admirable society. We commend the object to
our readers, and hope the society will receive the support
it so well deserves.
The maps published under the superintendence of the
Honourable Board of Ordnance are now completed' as fat
north as Preston. They are to be procured either in sine°
squares, in countres, or complete sets, from the local
agents of the board, Mr. Waring Webb, stationer, Castle"
street, Liverpool, and Messrs Simns and Dinham, st 4"
tioners, Exchange-street, Manchester.
NEW MODE OF ENSURING HONEST COFFEE.--011
attention has been called to a new mode of grinding ghee
'
adopted by Messrs. Hollis, Walford & Co., by l
every buyer of coffee at their shop has an opportunity o
seeing such quantity of the article as he may purchase
ground first in the berry, and ground again after passing
through a mill worked by a beautiful steam-engine. nt
this process, even the suspicion of adulteration is guarded
against, and a pure article secured.
LITHOGRAPHED PORTRAIT OW THE REV. W. Me
_A,„ Lithographed Portrait a the
Rev. Incumbent of St. Johns ho.s to.uu bi
Messrs. Macclare and Co., of Castle-street, from a paict-
ing by Mr. Brownless, of which the numerous admirers
of the eloquent and excellent preacher would do well to.
possess themselves. Mr. Fallon is represented as he ap-
pears in his pulpit, in one of those impressive attitudes
which he assumes in the delivery of his discourses ; and
the iikeness, although not a flattered one, is good.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 16.
We have had a good supply of Beast at market to-day, but
a smaller supply of Sheep and Lambs; anything prime met
with good demand at a shade of advance in price. Beef 5d W
Sid ; Mutton 5d to Sid : Lamb Sid to sd.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 16. A
Nothing ntw in the Cotton market, it is a dull, tame, and
insipid, almost lifeless, without any change in prices. Buyers
are mistaken when they come down to do very cheap business,
and some return to use their old stocks ; in this way the daily
business averages 3;50o bales, some of these for ex, off'
Brazil, Egytian, and. Surat Cotton are if possible heavier Oa'
American.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SEpr. 16%,
The Butter market is very quiet; and although prices reinea.' _
nominally as last quoted; the feeling with influential holderl
is to take 2s per cwt. less. Fine select Cork daries, app
Osprovt.‘
Carlow and Waterford bands, and prime Belfast bring, ig„g.
retail, 765, and other- descriptions ranging from 655 t°
Buyers have the best of it in the pickeled Butter trae
couple of the largest importers, having entered into asr o&
competition, prices are down to 66s for seconds. The rice
et
Cork is 68. Beef and: Por. scarce, and up to 85s to Os P6d
tierce for the former of prime heavy quality. 68s to 72s
per barrel for the latter. The Bacon market has become lica
and last quotations barely supported. The remark appended IT_
the advertisement of an individual in Gore's paperof last yie!i;
is gratuitously inconsistent with fact ;—so far as this prtMio
concerned ; the quotations are as near the truth; as it is pass'
to ascertain it.
