MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 29.
The weather since our la,t report has (with the exception of
occasional showers, been tolerably favourable for the growing
crops ; and this in connection with the circumstance of our
dea'ers having partially got into stock, has quite allayed the
excitement which previously existed, and although we cannot
during the week report any actual reduction i❑ prices, yet
there has evidently been more inclination on the part of holders
to sell than for some time past. At Wakefield yesterday, in face
of a large arrival for the season, Wheat was held with much
dimness at last week's rates, whilst at Liverpool with a small
supply prices were rather lou er. The weather this morning
has again an unsettled appearance, and we have had much rain
during the night ; this has checked the tendency to a decline in
prices which might otherwise have taken place, and with the
exception of Oats and Oatmeal, (which may be purchased on
rather easier terms), we repeat the quotatio'•s of this day week
for every article in the trade ; the transactions reported being
at the same time exceedingly limited in amount.

HAVING, in consequence of a Dissolutio or Partner-

consists in keeping ready-made Furnitu for sale, re-
spectfully announces to the Gentry of Li rpool, that he
has REMOVED from Lord-street, a taken an office,
No. 44, RENSHAW-STREET, and that is his intention
to keep up his Stock of well-seaso d Timber, and to
manufacture to order as before.

Wishing to cultivate principally the first class of in-
terior Furnishing and Decoration, he proposes to supply
Plans and full Sets of Drawings, made expressly for the
places intended, and in perfect accordance with their
architectural character, and he is confident those Gentle-
men who may favour him with their future Orders will,
by this system, have better choice, and more varied and
correct designs than they could possibly obtain from seeing
and purchasing out of a ready-made Stock.
To the numerous friends who favoured the late firm of
Robinson and Holme with their support, he and his late
Partner tender their grateful thanks.
All Accounts of the late firm of Robinson and Holme
will be paid and received by Christopher Robinson.

OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.

John Frederick Edge, aged 20, who, it will be remem-
bered, was tried last sessions but one for embezzling
money from his employer, Mr. Walter, grocer, Great
George-street, was charge d with having, on the 18th of
May, obtained three boxes of cigars from Burnet Levi, of
the same street, by representing himself as the brother
and partner of Mr. Walter, and stating that they would be
paid for in groceries. The details of the case have already
been before the public. The prisoner got out of the way
some time, and afterwards alleged that he had been sick,
which was not the fact. The case was proved, and the
jury found him guilty.
The RECORDER, taking his former conduct into ac-
count, sentenced him to be transported for seven years.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—NfoNnay.

Lord BROUGHAM withdrew his motion for calling Mr.
Browne, of the Kendal Gazette, to the bar of the house,
having, he said, received a letter of apology from that
gentleman.
The Scientific Societies Bill was read a third time and
passed, and their lordships adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY.

- -
The Fines and Penalties Bill was read a third time and
and passed ; the Customs Bill was read a second time ; as
were also the Slave Trade Treatise Bill, the Bills of Ex-
change Bill, the Episcopal Functions Bill, and some
others.
The house then went into committee on the Irish Arms
Bill, and a discussion arose as to the length of time the
bill should continue in force, it being contended by Mr.
Ross, Mr. M. J. OTONN ELL, and other hon. members
that it should only last for one year, the Government pro-
position being for five years ; it was at length suggested
by Lord ELIOT that the period should be three years.
Two divisions took place, but eventually, after some re-
marks from Sir R. PEEL, it was agreed that it should be
for two years, and to the end of the following session,
which in effect will make the period three years.
The remaining clauses, together with the postponed
clauses having been agreed to, the house resumed.
On the bringing up the report of the committee on the
excise duties which recommended a reduction of the addi-
tional ls. per gallon duty, laid on Irish spirits when the
income tax was levied on this country.
Sir R. FERGUSON moved that the resolution should be
recommitted on the ground that the reduction should be
greater than the Government proposed to make it, or
orherwise it would not have the effect of puttiug a stop to
illicit distillation.
The CHA.NCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
amendment on the ground that a greater reduction would
neither be conducive to the welfare of Ireland, nor to the
increase of the revenue.
Mr. F. BARING said he was of opinion that the duty on
spirits should be kept as high as it could be maintened
without giving encouragement to smuggling, and keeping
this principle in view he thought the reduction proposed
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer quite sufficient.
After a few words from Sir R. FERGUSON in reply, the
amendment was negatived without a division. and the re-
port was agreed to.
Leave was then given to bring in a bill founded upon
the resolution.
On the motion that the Admiralty Lands Bill be com-
mitted. _ _ . .

Mr. HUME moved that it be committed that day six

months.
The house then divided, and the amendment of Mr.
Hume was negatived by a majority of 59 to 28.
The bill then went through committee, after consider-
able opposition.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 25.

The arrivals here during the week consist of 3,105 qrs.
of Wheat, a moderate quantity of Malt, Beans, and Flour,
coastwise and from Ireland, with a very limited supply of
other articles thence ; the fresh imports from abroad coin-
arising merely 1103 qrs. of Pease, 60 sacks of Oatmeal,
and 4963 Barrels of Flour from Canada.
The last week closed with heavy rain and a cold wind,
followed by showers early on Sunday, since when the
weather has been more favourable, and to-day it is fine
and warm with a promising appearance; which, notwith-
standing the general rise in prices throughout the country,
and the further advance in London yesterday, has pro-
duced a decided check to all active proceedings in Wheat
at this day's market, and although very prime qualities
of foreign rather exceeded the rates of Friday, other
descriptions hardly maintained the advance then stated
and with more desire on the part of holders to effect
sales, the trade for this grain concluded heavily.
Flour was also taken off sparingly, and barely suppor-
ted the improved terms noted in our report of Friday.
Barley, of which there is still very little here was fully
as dear as last week. Malt realized a slight amendment
in price; and Beans as well as Pease remained steady.
Oats and Oatmeal, commanding very little notice to-
day, scarcely sustained the rates previously mentioned.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JULY 28.

We have a large arrival of wheat to this day's market, the
greater part of which consists of liberated foreign, shipped here
from London ; for such the demand is extremely limited, and
to effect sales lower prices must be taken ; the enquiry for fresh
thrashed wheat is not so extensive as of late, and last week's
prices were barely exceeded for such. In other articles the busi-
ness doing is limited, at the same prices as last week.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

The business in the house was tritiing: several mea-
sures were forwarded a stage ; and the royal assent was
given by commission to the Marriages (Ireland) Bill, the
Punishment of Offenders Bill, the Norfolk Island Bill,
and several other public and private bills, among them
the Walton-on-the-Hill Rectory Bill, and the Liverpool
Paving and Sewerage Bill. Their lordshihs wound up
with a faint echo of the still proceeding debate in the
Commons ; Lord Campbell asking for the results of the
law reform promised in the Queen's speech ; and the Lord
Chancellor, warmly seconded by Lord Brougham, point-
ing to the obstructive conduct of the opposition in the
Commons.

dlich is not a trifling advantage-- for garters are not
uniformly applicable, or so evenly tightened as
to ensure the same pressure always. Further, if even
this were a condition attended to more than it is or ever
will be generally, yet still frequently the material of
which they are composed is too inelastic in its nature to
accommodate itself unprejudicially to the increasing
-size of the leg : for by continued exercise the muscles
are more largely supplied with blood to keep up their
contractility, and hence, are not only more voluminous
during muscular effoit than when at rest, but also if this
is habitually taking place, their size is permanently pro-
' ly increased, as every one must have observed

how rapidly the flesh increases—really the muscles—for
the skin over does not vary much, nor is the fat apt to in-
crease on exercise, but the contrary. Head-aches,
swelled feet and uncles, frequently are the effect of
gartering. Peopk may wear garters and never be
troubled this way ; but it' is ;' a fact, nevertheless,
that in many instances such is more or less the case,
all tight encircling of any part of the body benig injurious
by impeding the circulation there. Let those who are
sceptical only try it ; those who have no perception
to see the tone of this statement touching not only this
esent instance but all other tight cinctures round their
body, are welcome to retain their prestige for this order
of the garter,' and with it to reap the fruits above named
of what we cannot help considering rather a badge of the
slavery of dress, than of utility, at least, to the male sex.

of wool as a material for stockings or socks ; and every
medical or other practical writer dwells upon this, both
on the scores of health and protection for the feet,
whereby, too, the greatest amount of comfort is obtained.
There is accordingly no further need to discuss this point
-cotton and silk being too inelastic—and having little

associated with indigestion, would do well to heed this

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 25.

A fair enquiry for Cotton to-day, and about 2000 bales
have been sold, all to the trade ; speculators are " on the
look out," but don't find Cotton to their mind ;
though the market is quiet, there is a very firm and steady
feeling pervading it.

COTTON MARKET, ,Ttmv 25.
The tone of our Cotton market for the last few weeks has
been rather subdued, and quiet; the daily sales average about
4000 baths, at prices on a par with those current during the pre-
ceding week, without any disposition on the part of holders to
press sales.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
There has continued a fair demand from the trade, and the
quotations of last week have been steadily maintained in all
descriptions, excepting Brazil, which is rather lower. Specula-
tors have taken 3600 American, and Exporters 1670 American,
ift* Surat and 70 Pernambuco.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY.

The Stock in Trade Bill, the Slave Trade Treaties Bill,
and the Militia Ballots Suspension Bill, severally went
through committee.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to a question from Mr. La-
bouchere, said he should, if possible, bring on the Ex-
portation of Machinery Bill on Thursday.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER asked Mr. Gladstone when it was
his intention to give an opportunity of a discussion of the
Customs Duties Bill, one clause of which had an import-
ant bearing on British agriculture. In reference to that
clause he wished to ask if it was the intention that the
agricuitural produce of the state of Maine, in America,
should be admitted into this country at a colonial duty.
Mr. GLADSTONE said that an opportunity for the dis-
cussion of the bill should be given. With respect to the
second question he must be allowed to give only a limited
answer. The intention of the clause was to give effect to
the third article of the treaty of Washington. Any fur-
ther explanation he would reserve to a future opportunity.
Sir G. CLERK gave notice that in committee of supply,
on Friday, he would move additional supplies for Canada
and China, and also a vote for compensation to those
whose opium had been seized by the Chinese.
In reply to questions from Mr. Ew IRT

.
The Earl of LINCOLN said that the committee on the
subject of metropolitan improvement would not close its
sittings till the end of the present session, nor would they
lay any report relative to the embankment of the Thames
on the table during the present session.
Mr. HUME then moved for leave to bring in a bill " for
the establishment of schools to promote a sound education
for the rising generation of the United Kingdom, at the
public expense, without wounding the feelings or injuring
the rights of any sect or class of the community, but con-
fining the business of the schoolmaster to the secular and
moral training of the children, and leaving all religious
instruction to religious teachers distinct from the school ;
to the end that general instruction and a spirit of chris-
tian brotherhood and good will may be disseminated
amongst all classes and denominations." The honour-
able gentleman said his object was to confine the duties of
the schoolmaster to moral instruction, leaving the reli
gious and scriptural portion of it to the clergy of the sect
to which the child might belong.
Mr. EW ART seconded the motion, but while doing so,
the house was counted out.
