MANCHESTER TURFREPORT.

FRIDAY NIGHT.
I The grand finale to a brilliant race week on the banks
I of the Dee (doing infinite credit to
" The land of any fathers and mine,")
is not yet over—we mean the " settling." Thousands
have changed hands. Our capitalists have " thrown in"--
rather over the " left." The followers (not a few) of the
light weights do come to the scratch as brilliantly as the
" Deer told off the Chester Cup.

THE DERBY.

5 to 2 asst The Ugly Buck (taken)
3to 1 Ratan (taken)
(Some hundreds laid yesterday at evens
the field v. two.)
10 to 1 Leander
25 to 1 Running Rein (taken)
25 to 1 King of the Gipsies
25 to 1 Akbar
25 to 1 lonian
30 to 1 Mountcharles
THE OAKS.—No betting to-day. We have noticed,
during the week, a desire to get upon Merope : 12 to 1
in ponies was taken at the subscription room on Tuesday.
On Wednesday 1i:0 to 8 was twice, if not more, booked
by the layer of the previous day. We call the odds on the
field 7 to 1.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 7.—FARRAR V.
DEFLINNF.—EarIy in February last a rule for a new trial
had been obtained in this action by the defendant, on con—
dition of his paying the costs of the former trial; but the
defendant had given notice that he was not prepared to
pay them. The plaintiff, therefore, had not proceeded to
the new trial, but in this term obtained a rule nisi to dis-
charge the rule for a new trial, whichS came on for argu-
ment this day. The court made the rule absolute to
dischare the rule for a new trial, unless the defendant
should, within a fortnight, pay the costs of the former
trial, and also bring the sum of £l5O into court to abide
the issue of such new trial.
HORRIBLE STORY.—A married woman, residing in
Distington, near Whitehaven, previous to last week, suf-
fered severely for some months past from a pain in the sto-.
mach, and every means adopted for its removal proved of
no avail. On Wednesday last, however, during a fit of
coughing, she ejected from her stomach a living reptile,
about 12 inches in length, resembling the water asp, and
ths!
has ever since been comparatively free from the. Pain She
e
had hitherto endured. It is conjectured that
and thatrt
it
had been swallowed in water when very small,
had attained its great size in the stomach of the unfortu-
nate woman, strong
and unnatural lodger.—Carlisle Journal. who bad been so long tortured by her t

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY It

No variation has taken effect in any of the duties since this
day se'nnight.
Several cargoes of Wheat have arrived from the Baltic and
Mediterranean during the past three days. which upon a change
of wind Will be folloWed by supplies to a fair extent; our fresh
impc,tsof all produce from Ireland and Coastwise, however,
continue on the whole exceedingly small.
The consumptive demand for Wheat and Flour Increases;
rath t more money is obtainable for each ; and stimulated by
the long continuance of unusually dry weather, we have also
experienced, in addition to the requirements of the trade, some
speculative inquiry for the several articles of spring Corn,
which have been mostly held for advanced rates.
This morning's market was attended by a to erable number of
local dealers, but fewer appeared from the 'country, and the
trade in a•great degree losing the buoyancy observable in the
course of the week, must again be noted generally flat ; Irish
Wheats from the comparative scarcity of fresh parcels, rattier
exceeded the currency of Tuesday, but for Foreign no amend-
ment 'was made, and the business altogether was to a trifling
extent. Flour was in moderate request, though without im-
Vrevement in prices.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 11.
Scanty supplies from all quarters, the continuance of dry
weather, and the general shortness of stock in the hands of
millers, dealers, and bakers. have had their effect upon the
trade, and we have had a steady demand for every article during
the week, at imp owing prices. Fresh lots of Flour have gone
off at an advanee of Is to 2s per sack; and though little im-
provement could be establishe I u, on warehoused qualities,
they have, if in fa,r condition, go :e off more freely, and our
stock of this article is now brought into more manageable com-
pass.
We have a firm, steady market to-day. Wheat of all qualities
is Id to 2d per bushel dearer. Flour goes off steadily at the
advance above noted. On, and since Thursday evening, we
have had some showers, which have rather checked the sale of
spring corn; but an advance may be considered as establUed
upon Oats of ld to 2d per bushel. Oatmeal, without alteration.
The very few Beans offering, bring an improvement of fully Is
per quarter.
Malt steady, at late prices, for fine qualities; secondary and
inferior samples are quite neglected.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEL MAY 7.
A good Tuesday's business has been done to-day by
consumers, and several speculators have been operating, to
what extent has not vet transpired. The sales will reach
3 or 4000 bales at full market prices.

THE COURT.

THE ROYAL FAMILY.—On "Wednesday afternoon, the
Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess
Royal, arrived in London soon after three o'clock, in la
carriage and four, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse
Guards, from Claremont. Their Royal Highnesses the
Prince of "Wales and the Princess Alice followed in
another royal carriage. Her Majesty and Prince Albert
were received at Buckingham Palace by the Lord Steward,
&c. In the evening, a dinner was given at Buckingham
Palace, to the noble directors of the Concert of Ancient
Music, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, being director
for the evening. At eight o'clock his Royal Highness-
Prince Albert, accompanied by his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Wellington, left the
payee for the Hanover Square Rooms; and at a quarter
past eight o'clock. the queen left the palace to honour the
performance of the concert with her presence, accompa-
nied by Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge,• '
and attended by the Duchess of Buccleuch. On Thurs-
day afternoon, the Queen and Prince Albert went to
Marlborough House, to visit Her Majesty the Queers
Dowager. The illustrious visitors remained with the
Queen Dowager about an hour, and afterwards returned
to Buckingham Palace. Their Royal Highnesses the
Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess
Alice. were taken their usual daily airings on Thursday.•
in the royal gardens. It has been arranged for Her Ma-
jesty and his royal highness Prince Albert to honour the
Montero, at Eton, with their presence on WbitTuesday, the
28th instant; and it is expected that the court will remain
at the castle during the whole of that week.

A letter from Dresden states that it is the intention of
the King of Saxony to pay, in the course of the present
month, a visit to Queen Victoria in England. His Ma-
jesty will, it is said, remain six weeks, during which be
will make tours in Wales and Scotland.—Galignarii.

PICTURE AND GLASS FRAME MANUFACTORY,
PAPIER MACHE WAREROOMS,
52, BOLD-STREET.
11011 °BERT J. KEYS respectfully informs the Public
that he has purchased from Mr. C. F. BIELEFELD
the above Business, with the SOLE RIGHT of SALE
of his Improved PAPIER MACHE for Liverpool and
the whole of Lancashire, from the Ist instant ; and
as he purposes Manufacturing on the Premises, is now ex-
tending the STOCJiref F,NRran MENTS, &c., so as to
enable him to execute all orders he may be favoured with
IN THE MOST PROMPT AND SUPERIOR MANNER.

The very beautiful, novel, and elaborate designs pro-
duced in Papier Mach surpasses any that have ever been
before manufactured ; its extraordinary toughness, dura-
bility, and lightness render it applicable to works of the
highest relief, equalling many of the finest productions of
the celebrated carvers in wood of the seventeenth century.
Many Specimens are to be seen, fac-similes of fine old
OAK FRAMES, which, being similar in colour to the
original, cannot be detected by the most experienced eye.
ROBERT J. KEYS invites the attention of all who are
desirous of encouraging the Arts in works of British
manufacture, and begs their attention to the extensive
STOCK of PICTURE, GLASS, and MINIATURE
FRAMES, WINDOW CORNICES, SCREENS, &c.,
novr on view at his Warerooms.
The PATENT QUAQUAVERSAL TOILET GLASS
STAND, now so much approved of, may be had in great
variety, either in solid Mahogany or richly ornamented
with Papier Mach 6.
A miniature illustrated tariff of the PICTURE FRAMES
may be procured on application at the Premises, or will
be forwarded FREE, on the receipt of six Post-office
Stamps.
GENTLEMEN BUILDING, ARCHITECTS,
DECORATORS, &c. &c.,
are respectfully ,informed that the PAPIER MACHE
WAREROOMS, 52, BOLD-STREET, are now fully
Stocked with,every Pattern that has been produced at the
WOrks in London. The arrangements on and after the
Ist of May will enable the Proprietor to supply the vari-
ous articles manufactured on the same terms as if ordered
from London, with the advantage of being able to
execute all orders with greater facility.
The superiority of the Papier Mache for architectural
purposes, is now so well known and appreciated, that it
would be superfluous here to dwell on its merits. The
fact that many of the finest buildings in London, and
throughout the country, have been decorated with it,
proves that its advantages are acknowledged.
Many beautiful Specimens of ENAMELLED SLATE
PANELLINGS, for Steam-boat Cabins, can be seen ;
and the Papier Mache for the purposes of ship decoration
will be found most appropriate.
Gentlemen requiring Ceilings Ornamented can have
Designs submitted to them by an Architect connected
with the establishment, and long accustomed to the
adaptation of the muaufacture.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

A motion of the Duke of Richmond's for returns res-
pecting the importation of foreign wool led to a short dis-
cussion, the noble duke expressing his belief that the pro-
posed abrogation of the duty would prove injurious to
our Australian colonies. He declined, however, to ex-
press a positive opinion until he should be in possession
of the information which he expected to derive from the
returns. He was not favourable to the abrogation of the
duty at the first view of the question, because of its ten-
dency to free trade.
The Earl of DALHOUSIE was prepared to prove that
the proposed abolition of the wool duties was calculated
to prove beneficial to the wool-growers rather than injuri-
ous; but as the noble duke sought only for information
at present, he would not enter into the case until it should
come more regularly before the house, if the noble duke
should think proper to make a motion on the subject after
he should have read the returns.
The returns were agreed to.
Lord CLONcURAY moved the appointment of a select
committee to inquire into public works in Ireland, with
a view to the improvement of the soil of that country,
and finding employment for the people, by promoting
drainage and encouraging the construction of railroads.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he was not disposed
to support a larger grant for the purposes referred to in
Ireland than the £60,000 a year already voted, part of
which had already been advanced at the rate of £15,000
a quarter. Under all the circumstances he called upon
their lordships to negative the motion.
Lord CLoNeunny withdrew his motion, and their
lordships soon after adjourned.

HEALTH OF THE TOWN COMMITTEE.

The proceedings of the committee having been read,
Mr. PARKER called attention to what he considered a
great and crying nuisance in the town,—he alluded to dry
wells or cess pools, were suds were pumped out and ob-
noxious smells created. He thought the Council ought
to possess a power to compel every owner to put a drain
in the pooh, and to empty into the soughs.
Mr. JOHN HOLMES said a Sewer was being made in
Church-street at present for the purpose of removing the
nuisance.

Mr. BLACKBURN said that Mr. Aspinall, himself, and
other gentlemen, had visited the slaughter-houses, and
that every attention appeared to be prod to cleanliness
there that the nature of the case admitted of. He thought
that if the shughter-houses were flagged ins►ead of paved,
and that it Tr,rwbridge-street was covered with a wooden
pavement, it would be a great advantage.
Mr. J. HoLmas said the street in question was about to
be macadamised.
Mr. BIRKETT gave notice of a motion for the next
meeting, that Mr. Kaye be added to the committee; and
the proceedings were confirmed.

POETRY.

THE ORIGIN OF THE HUMMING•BIRD.

(From the Dublin University Magazine for May.)

When Saint Patrick reached in the Emerald Isle,
The Fairies that haunted the green.
And their revels had held, in olden time,
Were filled with envy a d splCn.

So they went where the water-lilies float,
On the edge or the shoal ow bay,
And they chose themselves each a little boat,
To carry them far away.

Merrily now that little fleet
Bounds o'er the waters blue;
Boldly the fairies have taken th.ir seat.
Each in her light canoe.

They gave to their Queen the largest flower,
Their pi rilous course to guide;
And after her, like a snowy shower,
The tiny vessels glide.

The eddying ripples that bore them along,
A murmuring melody played ;
And the fairie . who knew the words of its song,
A whispering answer made.

The waters are hurrying away to the south,
And bear them on with their tide,
Till safely they reach the river's mouth,
And float on the ocean wide.

Though many a day and night they sailed,
Warmly the sunshine fell,
For the might of the winds and wares was stayed
By the power of their magic spell.

That magic spell has banished the night.
While their westward c orse they take,
For a glorious trail of burnished light
Is following in their wake.

The fairies have reached the coral strand,
And left the lily-flowers;
They fly away in a merry band
To the pleasant citron bowers.

And the humming-birds seen in that sunny clime,
Sparkling with rainbow hues,
Are the Fairies who left the Emerald isle,
In their lily-white canoes.

NOTICE.

The London Polytechnic Magazine.

We have perused the number for May, and can pro-
nounce it to be replete with matter interesting to scienti-
fic men. There is an excellent paper on the Metalization
of Wood, by which it appears that mated it may be ren-
dered irnpervio::s to rot, the ravages of insects, and the
action of fire. It is coming into use for rails on railways,
in place of iron rails. The paper on the arts and manu-
factures of the Esquimaux is continued. The next article
is a description of the improved screw propeller, by our
townsman Mr. John Grantham. One of the best papers
is on Artesian Wells, by Mr. Arago, who furnishes some
curious particulars. There is also a clever and cutting
review of Dr. Elliotson's journal of mesmerism, and some
other interesting papers.

Emperiat Varliament.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAYa
Lord M ONTEA OLE gave nonce that he woutd. 'move, on
Thursday next, for a committee to inquirt into the effect
of protective dote. on Brit:01 ton coerce.
_ _

The Marquis of CLAIchICARDE again brought under the
consideration of the house theappointment of Mr. O'Brien
as a stipentli,try magistrate in Ireland, which was, he con-
sidered, in every possible view most unjustifiable. The
noble marquis moved a resolution to the effect that the ap-
pointment was injudiciou., and not calculated to maintain
confidence in the impartial administration of justice.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that the motion was in effect
a charge against the Lord Lieutenant and the Govern-
ment, and he rose to meet it boldly, by stating that the
Government wished to show those who joined with the
Repeal Association, how thoroughly it disapproved of
their proceedings by extending layout to a person who had
abandoned the erroneous course he had previously pur-
sued. He defended this appoiktment, which, as far as
the Irish Government had the means of judging, was a
proper one ; and he should-, therefore, meet the motion
with a direct negative.
_ . .

,
Lord BUOUGH AM did not think that any very strong
case had been made cot by the Marquis of Clanricarde,
though he admitted the language used by Mr. O'Brien
was very unjustifiable in his abuse of Mr. O'Connell,
Which was, hoWent, to be palliated by the recollection of
the school in whi&a lie had been previously educated—
that of Mr.'O'Cannell and the Repeal Association.
The motion teas negatived without a division.

Liverpool, 11th May, 1841. ILLMIDATUS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR —I had an idea of sending this letter to your op-
ponent the Mercury, but as I thought that i
the i
great
modesty for which he is so
moneorit) would prevent him fromtorious (and which s nva-
riably the concomitant of
blowing his own trumpet, I have altered my mind, as I
considered you would also have it in your power to show
Your magnanimity towards one who deserves so well at
Your hands,
by doing him a good turn.
The facts are as follow :—I have been suffering for
tollie time past from sleeplessness, and my medical man
he exhausted his ingenuity and my patience, by
.trying
sonaniferous
effects of the various drugs in the
tuar°rmaeopeia," as he expresses himself. However, all
led of no avail, until a kind neighbour, on a Friday
—.eing about three weeks ago, before I took my medi-
birtoleusgtrt me in the Mercury of that day. I corn-
Merice
i d to read his leader, and before I had got through
began to feel drowsy ; after the tenth line I
lienceale„ZerPowered; and ere I had gone half-a-dozen
Causehousrs --"er, I was fast asleep. I remained so for some
u.
reensdutnafetedr waking and supping, little suspecting the
{
of olv former sleep, I took up the paper, but had
fore the remainder of the leading article bee-
tow A• WaS fast asleep and slept till morning. I hay
- is
°f seu the " doCtor," and find that a small dose
terldin'icurY, especially a leader, has the desired effect of
generally rne to sleep ; I must, however, admit that I
hy sleep much better on a Friday.
and thought it only due to the Mercury to state this:
44
iittl.would also state that I believe if the Mercury were
.0
ctoo," " read by the operatives of Liverpool, the
' would have less influence over them.
I have to subscribe myself,
A GRATEFUL PATIENT.

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT.

In Barley, Malt and Pease, no change in value can be stated.
`Beans are held firmly for the late advance, but the bulk of the
stock 13, ing in second hands, few Egyptians are now offering,
and the trade for the present purchase slowly.
Oats have brought id to Id per 451 b,, and Oatmeal 3d per load
advance, but the sales in both in limited compass to-day.
One or two ,ransactions in bonded Wheat are reported at
equal to the free price, less the duty.

A largee;teniTk4 businesshas been done this week, witliOnt
producing anythatige in the market, beyond a greater degree
of steadiness in pi icei generally, and an advance of id per lb.
on the middle qualities of American descriptions. Holders
se m to act with more confidence, and from the extcnt of the
operations on speculation, it may be inferred that opinion leads
to higher rates ; there is not quite so much life in the demand
to-day as in the early part of the week. Speculators have taken
2040 bales of American ; exporters 1250 American, and 150
Sarat ; and the trade 52,740 bales of all kinds. The sales to-
day are estimated at 400,1 bales of all descriptions. In our
quotations for Mobile and Alabama am! New Orleans we go so
low as 3id, in consequence of the extraordinary low quality of
some of the recent import, being scarcely merchantable, and
what is now termed storm cotton.
