upset, the only way of releasing Madame Grisi being to get
her removed through the window, which was one of great
hazard and no little difficulty. She fortunately escaped
unhurt.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, MAY 21.
The improvement which we reported in our last circular has been
fully confirmed by the result of the past week's business, there
having been a steady inquiry for each article at full, and some in-
stances, advancing prices. Arrivals of home produce by way of
Liverpool and Runcorn are small, and there is scarcely anything
coming here from the East Coast or the interior. In the agricultural
markets a further rise in the price of Wheat has taken place, and
with little exception the supply brought forward is scarcely more
than sufficient for the wants of the local millers. The opinion
of the trade may also be gathered from the steady and increasing
enquiry for bonded Wheat and Flour, the former of which is 2d to
3d per bushel, the latter Is to Is 6d per barrel higher than on this
day week. At our market this morning we have a steady enquiry
for suitable qualities of new Enghish Wheat, at an advance of 2d
to 3d per bushel ; good new being very scarce. The best samples
of foreign old meet a more ready sale, and are Id to 2d per bushel
dearer. For secondary and inferior qualities there is little demand,
but their value is fully supported. Our stock of good fresh Flour
is very low, and there is a ready sale for it at an advance of Is per
sack. Oats are id per bushel, and Meal 6d to Is per load higher,
with a fair inquiry fur both : a large proportion of the stock is,
however, withdrawn from sale. Beans are Is per quarter dearer.
Malt steady at late prices.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1842-05-24

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 20.

Trade to-day was again dull, and notwithstanding a small supply
of Beasts and Sheep many remained unsold in consequence of the
very limited demand. Beef in particular was a very heavy sale, at
a further decline in prices of 2d per stone. Mutton, Veal and Pork
remained on the whole steady, at Monday's terms. Lamb recovered
to 6s for inferior, and 7s for superior quality. Per stone of slb,
sinking the offal.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MAY 23.
We have had a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep at this day's
market, and prices firm at last week's quotations. Prime Beef bid
to did ; middling 6d to 6id ; prime Wethers 7id ; shearlings 6d.
There was a good supply of Lambs, and last week's prices were
maintained, say from 20s to 30S, sinking the offal. Number of
Beasts 728, Sheep and Lambs 4049.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 23.
New grass Butter is in good demand ;—going off as it arrives
at 96s to 98s, notwithstanding the genial rains which we now ex.
perience. No good old Butter is left ;—and it is probable that the
present rates for new, will be tolerably supported for a short time.
There is much anxiety evinced by holders to part with middling
and inferior descriptions of Beef and Pork; and a very moderate
figure would, we believe, be taken ;—meat, however, suitable for
an Indian voyage, on the other hand, looks up, and expected to be
dearer. Bacon is a speculative article, and considerable parcels
are changing hands :—There is also a good consumptive demand
at 52s for Belfast middling.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 21

Owing to the extensive business in Cotton yesterday, (7000
bales), all parties were on the qui vine this morning, and what re-
mained unsold, was soon placed under offer. The attendance of
the trade was not very numerous, nevertheless buying was carried
on with some spirit, and 5000 bales were sold at the full prices of
yesterday, in many instances a slight advance was paid; the
market closed steadily, but as some thought, with some abate-
ment of the mornings excitement.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 23,

At the opening of our Cotton market this morning their were
evident symptons of a desire on the part of buyers to purchase
freely. The quantity of Cotton offering was not adequate to the
demand, hence the difficulty to get on at last week's prices as the
day advanced. Holders brought out their stocks at id to id ad-
vance, which in most instances was readily paid, and business pro-
ceeded with animation. About the mid-day a speculative demand
sprung up, which continued to the close of 'Change, when the
day's transactions were estimated at full 7000 bales, at the es-
tablished advance of id lb on the lowest business of last week.
At this advance importers spew more willingness to offer their
stocks, and this circumstance gives the buyer more choice, and
causes a little unevenness in the market, particularly in Cotton
ranging fair and upwards. The market wears a healthy appear-
ance, and gives indication that the " change for the better" will
soon be permanent.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 20

The duty is reduced on foreign Wheat to 12s per qua er,
on Dour to 7s 2id per barrel, and on colonial. Beans to 221
per quarter ; that on all other produce remaining unva

Until this day week.
From Ireland, coastwise, and abroad, the arrivals of Grain,
Flour, and Oatmeal into this port since Tuesday last, have
been extremely small; but amply provided from granary,
sufficient of most articles is brought forward to meet the
present wants of the trade, although holders do not appear
urgent to pay duties upon foreign Wheats, except in cases
where sales are previously effected to consumers.—ln this
way, during the last two days, good samples of free Wheats
were disposed of to a mod'erate extent ; several further car-
goes also, afloat and in bond, changed hands at improving
Tates, which constitute the principal features in the Corn
trade here within that period.
Having a tolerably good assemblage of both town and
country buyers this morning, the market opened with higher
expectations on the part of holders, and in a few partial in-
stances good free Wheats realised a small amendment cv, r
Tuesday's rates ; but no general improvement being obtain-
able, and the millers resisting any advance, the transactions
on the whole were rather limited than otherwise, and the
concluding terms merely equal to our last quotations.
English and Irish Flour moved off sparingly, at late
prices ; but States and Canadian, duty paid, being in fair re-
quest, rather exceeded the rates last noted.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, although decidedly diffi-
cult of sale, remained stationary in value.
Oats were held at an advance of ld. per4slbs., which, not-
withstanding good qualities are scarce, could not be acquired,
and we therefore repeat our last currency.
Oatmeal, on the contrary, was saleable at an improvement
of 6d per load ; and Indian Corn in demand for Ireland at
38s to 40s per 480 lbs.
After several days of dry clear weather, favourable for the
completion of spring culture, we had from an early hour,
and during a great part of yesterday, a fine fertilizing rain,
the beneficial effects of which are already visible in the ap-
pearance of the crops under the ground in the, circle around
us; and having showers again this morning, they may now
be expected to progress vigorously.

FOR. lON INTELLIGENCE.

PR,ANCI

The Paria papers of Friday anciSaturday have been re
ceived,

The right of search forms still the only topic of importance
with these journals ; but it would require a much larger space
than we can afford to give in order to lay before our readers
an account of the prolonged and animated debate that took
place on Friday in the Chamber of Deputies, when, on dis-
cussing the Foreign-office estimates, the question of the right
of search was again brought forward. The speeches of MM.
Lefebvre, Lamartine, Mauguin, Berryer, Tocqueville, Dupin,
and Salvandy, were all in direct opposition to the ratification
of the treaty of 1841, and delivered in a manifest spirit of ill-
will and enmity to the present Foreign Minister, M. Guizot.
The able minister defended his conduct, as also the line of
policy followed by his predecessors on this question, on un-
deniable principles. With stern resolution, he said he wil-
lingly accepted the whole of the responsibility with which it
pleased others to load him with, although he had been a total
stranger to the treaties, negociations, and protocols that had
preceded, and naturally engendered the new treaty of 1841.
He maintained that the protocol signed in Loadon by the
French ambassador on the 13th of December, 1838, (and
which, be it recollected, was only a natural consequence of the
correspondence and negotiations that had been caaried on
between the French and British Cabinets since 1836,) con-
stituted a moral engagement for France.
