LIVERPOOL PROVISION AIARKET, JUNE 6.

-
The market for Beef • continues inactive; ordinary sorts are
offered on easier terms, but the finer descriptions are firmly
held. For Pork there is not much inquiry; the late arrivals of
French, Hamburgh, &c., give the trade a present supply, in a
great measure to the exclusion of American. Bacon goes off
slowly, without alteration in price, the dealers complaining
that they cannot afford to pay the great advance over last year.
Hams are a slow sale, at a reduction of Is. to 2s. per cwt.
Shoulders in moderate demand. At an advance of 6d. to Is.
per cwt. there has been an active demand for Lard, and the
sales for the week are reported at 100 tons. The stock of
Cheese is nearly exhausted, and the season may be considered
over. Grease Butter is more inquired for.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, JUNE 7.
Without sufficient activity to establish any positive advance
during the week, there has been more disposition for business,
and full prices have been obtained for every article. The
stocks of all grain of home-growth, excepting Wheat, are now
found to be all but exhausted ; whilst the opinion seems to be
gaining ground that even those of the latter are not so large as
is usual at this time of the year. From all parts east and south
of Manchester we are receiving very little English produce,
and the Liverpool list of imports shows moderate arrivals from
all quarters. Wheat is Id. to 2d. per 701b5., and fresh English
Flour is. per sack higher than on this day week, whilst old
les are more saleable. American of good quality recovers Gd_
to Is. per barrel from the late depression. French remains at
late prices. Oats steady, at former rates. Oatmeal Gd. per
load dearer. The few English Beans on sale are held At high
rates. Egyptian Gd. per qr. higher. Scarcely any Peas,
Barley, or feeding stuff offering. Great reluctance is shown by
buyers to comply with the advance, and the actual transactions
of the market are not extensive ; but holders show great firm-
ness, and the enhancement noted above is paid where business
is done.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JUNE 6.
The reported arrivals for this day's market are small. The
little English Wheat offering this morning is taken off by our
milers at an advance of Is. per qr. ; but in foreign we cannot
report a corresponding advance, though there is a fair business
doing. In Barley no alteration. Oats and Beans in demand,
at higher prices. Malt Is. per load dearer.

CORN MARKET, JUNE 7.
We have had an extremely small show of Wheat at our mar-
het to-day. A strong feeling having seized the farmers' minds
that much higher prices will he got soon • very little business
has been doing; in consequence. We call Wheats Is. to 2s. per
qr. dearer. Oats and beans very scarce, and dearer.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET, .TUNE 7
The farmers' supply of wheat to •day was quite trifling, and
soon disposed of, at an advance of is. per quarter. There was
a good demand for English and foreign wheats in shin and gra-
nary, at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight, and in some
cases Is. per qr. more money was realised. Grinding barley
scarce, and rather dearer. The supply of oats from the north
is large this week, hut few from abroad, and our farmers'
supply was about equal to last week. The demand rules active,
but no further advance can be reported to-day. Beans and
peas few offering, and they are each per qr. dearer. Flour
is held for an improvement of Is. per sack. The weather con-
tinues cold for the season, and, judging from present appear-
ances, the harvest in this district is likely to prove a late one.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE G.
There was a very small supply of farmers' grain at market,
and Wheat and Oats fully supported Tuesday's currency.
There have been several arrivals of Indian Corn, and we reduce
our extreme quotations is. per qr.

BELFAST CORN MARKET, JUNE 6.
There has been some rain since our last, which was required
both by the farmers and by the millers. All reports speak
favourably of the healthy appearance of the crops, although
they cannot be said to be far forward for the season, there
having been a good deal of cold weather during the past month.
We have to report a steady corn trade since our last, at
previous rates. Although Wheat has not sold largely of late,,
stocks are yet considerably lighter than three months ago, and
of Corn the stocks unsold are nearly exhausted. Little dis-
position to press sales is manifest, and prices are the turn
higher. Country millers are again coming into market. At
this day's market, farmer's Wheat the same as last week.
The supply so short as to render prices quite nominal.
Foreign is held firmly, but with little doing, at £lO 10s. to
£lO 15s. for Dantzic ; £9 ss. to £9 :Os. for white Polish ;
£8 to £8 7s. 6d. for red ditto ; ss. to £9 10s. for red
French ; Egyptian, £'6 ]ss. to £7 ss. Oats in good demand.
at last week's prices. Oatmeal a free sale, at an advance of
ld. to 3d. per cwt. The supply of Flour abundant, and wants
limited, except for coarse qualities, which sell pretty freely.
Indian corn in good demand. At auction, the rates ruling
showed an advance of 2s. 6d. to ss. for yellow, on those of
this day week ; white firm, at £7 15s. for prime French, ex
ship, although more plentiful than for some weeks, two or
three small vessels having arrived from France. No American
on the market.

CORK CORN MARKET, JUNE 7.
We have experienced a good consumptive demand for fine
Flours this week. Inferiors are scarce, and enhanced in.
value. Prime Foreign Wheats are firmly held, with but a
moderate business going forward. Lower qualities command
more attention. From the extreme rates demanded for
Egyptian Wheat and Indian Corn, transactions are limited to
a mere retail.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 4.
There was a good show of Beasts at this clay's market, which
met a dull sale at last week's prices. A large show of Sheep
and Lambs, with a dull sale, and some were left unsold.—Best
heifers, sd. to 54d. ; middling do., 42d. to sd. ; cows, 4d. to 4id.
per lb. Sheep, clipt, sd. to "Sid. ; ewes, 4jd. to sd. Calves,
4d. to 54d.—Beasts, 1339; Sheep, 7299; Calves, 373.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. JUNE 5.
We had to-day a small market of Cattle, but larger of sheep.
The full state of Monday and Tuesday's English markets were,
however, against export, so that the prices of last week for
Beef was scarcely supported. Mutton sold much the same,
if anything in favour of the buyer. Lambs were 2s. a head
lower. For stock there is an animated demand, such as has
not been known for several years, especially Calves, and one
or two year old Beasts for rearing. Prices of Beef, 425. to 455.;
prime, 4Gs. Id. per cwt.; Mutton, 51d. to (lid. per lb. ; Veal,
7d. to 7id. per lb.; Lambs, 16s. to 225. each. The Pig market
a small one, and 2s. per cwt. reduction. Prices 3Gs. to 38s.
per cwt.

when our sovereigns came back again. Will the
Manchester Guardian have the kindness to tell us
who had the benefit during this state of things ?
We shell tell him ourselves. They were the Lord
Overstones of the community. They were the
men who devised this system, by which the drones
in the hive periodically abstract the accumulated
earnings of the working bees.
The Manchester Guardian takes exception to our
remark that, " in part," the enormous reduction
in the price of cotton was caused by " a money
paralysis," owing to the Bank of England sheaving

week-after week an abstraction of gold from the
country. He says, " Where was this paralysis, or
panic, heard of except at Liverpool ?" Suppose
we admit that it v;•as felt no where else. The con-
clusion is then obvious that Liverpool has a just
right to ask for an expansion of the currency.
Liverpool has to hold the stocks of raw materials
and foreign produce, which Manchester has for
months past prided herself in, buying merely
" from hand to mouth." Under a correct mone-
tary system ought it to affect prices at all, because
Liverpool, instead of Manchester holds the cotton,
grain, &c. required for the consumption of the
manufacturing districts ? Certainly, it ought not.
He contends too that " there has never been the
slightest difficulty" in London, Manchester, Leeds,
or Birmingham, " in getting good mercantile paper
discounted at a very low rate of interest." -Good
mercantile paper ! But there have been times
when " ordinary," and " fair to middling" was
easy to get discounted. There have been times,
too, under our present monetary system, when not
only the very best paper was refused, but even
silver was valueless as a convertible commodity.
The fact is, as the Guardian knows, that the Bank
of England and the money power under our
present system play at fast and loose with the
enterprise and industry of the country. One day
we are encouraged to speculate—and this very law
was to repress specula, ion ; the next we are crushed
by the very wheels which set us in motion. The
bank itself our monitor—runs into riot and
excess; and then renders us the victims cf its own
avarice and folly. What was the evidence of the
governor of the Bank of England before the Lords'
Committee in 184 S ? We beg the Guardian's
attention to only two questions and their answers—'

" You had only £1,600,000 in the banking department
for the payment of your liabilities ? Yes. If any body
had called upon you for anything beyond that million and
a half, you must hare stopped payment I Yes we must !"
Now we ask of the Guardian to tell us how many
eminent and wealthy merchants were ruined by the
effort of the hank to sustain itself in this, or in
other similar crises. We ask him what was the loss
sustained by Manchester on the occasion. "We
venture to remind him that, after all this ruin, the
Bank of England, and the money power of England,
emerged triumphant, as they have always done
since this accursed system came into operation,
gorged with the spoils of honest and industrious
men, by an act of the government releasing them
from the very responsibility—payment in gold—
which had been imposed upon the entire British
people. It is such a system that the merchants of
Liverpool seek to upset; a system which renders
the best considered investments, or speculations,
mere games of chance. The Manchester people,
and the Guardian, their organ (proh pudor !) may,
in their ignorance or selfishness, or for some un-
fathomable motive, support it; but, in spite of
fate, England will put it down.

PARLIAMENT seems determined to continue its
do-nothing policy. The Pope, who is too weak to
sustain his authority in his own country, is now
virtually ruling, through "the members for Rome,"
this mighty empire; and Lord John Russell seems
inclined "to have it so."

The following remarks from the John Bull of
Saturday are justly called for

" If the last week was barren of Parliamentary events,
the present week is, if possible, more barren still. The
house of Lords, which might be so usefully employed in
the consideration of the various grave and important
questions which call for the interposition of wise and
well-considered legislation, continues doomed to inaction,
while the House of Commons is dividing its time between
abortive motions and the interminable Anti-Papal debate.
Monday consumed in negativing amendments on the
second clause, without one single step in advance ; Tues-
day lost by a count out ; Wednesday thrown away in dis-
cusing Tuesday's waste of time, and rejecting Lord Mel-
gund's Bill ; Thursday frittered away upon water and chi-
cory, brought down to the end of the week but a sorry
account of the progress of public business, the deficiencies
of which are indifferently balanced by the record of last

night's proceedings."
" While the House of Commons is, on this side of St.
George's Channel, struggling for liberty to vindicate the
dignity of the Crown and the independence of the king-
dom. under the t7.-o
-fold drawback of factious opposition
and of imbecile leadership, the Popish hierarchy in Ire-
land is, under the complacent rule of the Earl of Claren-
don, organising a formidable resistance, not only to all
future legislation, but, it is to be feared, to whatever law
parliament may succeed in enacting this session. Throw-
ing themselves with all their might into the political
arena, the Pope's lieutenants in Ireland are fanning the
flame of popular passion and: of religious animosity, and
more than abetting the establishment of an irnperitirn in
tmperio, which is intended to counterbalance the Queen,
the three estates of the realm, and the voice of the British
people, with a view to the overthrow of the true Church
and faith in the United Kingdom, and the triumphant
establishment of Romish superstition and tyranny in their
place. We refer our readers more especially to the mani-
festo of the Firebrand of St. Jarlath's, for the true cha-
racter of the movement which is going on undisturbed in
the sister island, while Lord John Russell is doing his
best to make parliament stultify itself."

Through the sole characteristic Christian generosity of
two ladies closely related to T. B. Horsfall Esq., the
assistance of an efficient clergyman is for the present
maintained at St. Matthew's Church, Scotland-road.
The gentlemen is now living in South Carolina who as-
sisted in packing the first bag of cotton sent to Liverpool
from the United States. The consignee of this lone bag
of cotton informed the merchants who sent it that he
sell it, that it was valueless, and advised them

to send no more.
Lord John Russell has announced, that the Govern-
ment will defray the expense of the passage-money of
ninety Ilungarians to New York, and of their subsistence
during the time they may remain in Southampton, wait-
ing for arrangements to be made for their passage to the
United States.
BURGLARY.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, two men
were remanded on a charge of having burglariously
entered the house of a person named Jones, in Leeds-
street, on the 10th ultimo, and stolen some wearing
apparel and other articles. Three women were also
remanded on a charge of receiving the same.
RONIISII CONTROVERSY. —We received last night
copies of the admirable lectures delivered lately at St.
John's Church, by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile and the Rev. J.
B. Lowe. They are published at a low price, which will,
doubtless, extend their circulation ; and the eloquent and
scriptural arguments of the two talented divines deserve to
be spread far and wide. The publisher has produced
them in a very neat and creditable form.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last, Jilt). Crowther,
a porter in the service of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway Company met with a fatal accident at the goods
station, Great Howard-street, he was moving a number of

r.
,waggons by means of a horse, and was endeavouring to
