(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

The duty has again advanced on Foreign Wheat to 165.,
on Rye to 10s. 6d. per qr. ; on Flour to 9s. 7,1 d. per barrel ;
upon Calonial Wheat to 35., on Rye to ls. 6d. per qr., and
on Flour to ls. 91d. per barrel, with the prospect of these
articles shortly attaining the highest rates payable from
British possessions.

Of English, Irish, and Foreign Grain, the arrivals into this
port within the last three days have been unusually small ;
and of Flour, scarcely more than about 4000 barrels from
Canada and the United States.

Notwithstanding the prevailing impression that the imports
from abroad will not be repeated so extensively as heretofore
for some time to come, and that meanwhile we shall have to
depend principally upon supplies to be derived from the
growth of this country and Ireland, the transactions here, in
any department of the corn trade between Tuesday and to-
day, have been very unimportant, and the general quotations
specified in our last circular barely maintained.
Upon a very slender attendance of town and country buy-
ers at our Corn Exchange to-day, and more than ordinary
indifference on the part of millers to increase their engage-
ments, we have to report an exceedingly dull trade for all
descriptions of Foreign Wheat, which were decidedly easier
to purchase, and had sales been practicable to any mate-
rial extent, somewhat lower terms would have been
conceded. Of English Wheat no fresh samples appeared;
the few small lots of Irish New, therefore, were mostly sold,
yet not without submitting to a decline of 2d. to 3d. per
701hs. from the rates previously noted.
States and Canadian Flour, being in limited request, were
the turn cheaper. Having no English or Irish offering,
prime marks would readily command late prices.

COTTON MARKET.—THREE o'CLocK.

The same monotonous feeling characterises our market to-
day ; other demand does not exceed 2500 bales ; nevertheless,
prices are firm and steady.
The sales of the week are 12,400 bales, of which 500 are
for export, and 500 on speculation remain to the trade,
which again have not brought nacre than half their con-
sumption.

STEAM SHIP HINDOSTAN.—On Tuesday a grand enter-
tainment was given on board this vessel at Southampton.
Sir J. Campbell occupied the chair, supported on his right
by Sir E. Codrington and on his left by Sir J. Lushington.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and other eminent persons
were present, and many suitable speeches were delivered.
The unrolling of the mummy presented by the late Bishop
Butler to the Museum of this town takes place on Thursday,
and, as many ladies desirous of attending, we are requested
to state that there will be nothing in the spectacle obnoxious
to the most refined fernille delicacy,—We take the liberty of
suggesting, for the convenience of those who intend seeing
this very interesting process, and hearing Mr. Birch's lecture
that they purchase tickets of admission before they go to the
Shirehall to-morrow. The receipt of money at the door must
necessarily retard the free egress of the public, and probably
interrupt the proceedings.—Shrewsbury Journal.
THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—It may not be generally known
that the King of Prussia has had a gold medal struck in his
own dominions for the purpose of presentation to the most
distinguished artists who may come under his special appro-
val. It is of solid gold, weighing 20 dwts, and is very taste-
ful in its arrangement. On the obverse, in a concave centre,.
ig nn precedent likeness in relief of his Maiessy, which is sur-
rounded by a broad border in dull relief, bearing emblemati-
cal devices of the arts. On the reverse appears the facade of
an elegant Grecian structure, with Apollo in his car rising
above the centre. This beautiful work bears the name et
" Pfeuffer" on the reverse, and "Jacktman " on the obverse,.
One of these has been bestowed, through the hands of Che-
valier Bunsen, upon Mr. Benjamin Wyon, in testimony of
his Majesty's approval of the gold medal struck in comme-
moration of his visit to England and sponsorship of the Prince '-
of Wales. This is the second mark of royal approbation re-.
solved by Mr. Wyon from the Prussian dominions.
STATE OF THE MANCHESTER DISTRICT.—There is little
change since our last in the state of affairs in this district,.
except that the partal resumption of employment at Staley-- •
bridge, to which we then adverted, is now thoroughly esta-
blished,
and the greater portion of the factories at Glossop,-
Tintwistle, and other places to the south-eastoi Staley-bridge,.
have also resumed. At Ashton, Hyde, and Stockport, little
has yet been done in this way ; and at Manchester the fac-
tories remain in precisely the same situation as on Friday -
last—the spinners being steadily at work, but the weavers-
generally refusing to return to their employment without an,
advance. In several cases, we believe, they have offered to,
come in, provided the slightest concession be made, their ;
leaders being anxious to save their own credit by showing,
that they bad gained something like a victory. In this, how-
ever, they are not very likely to succeed ; all the large mill- •
owners steadily adhering to their determination not to give •
any advance of wages which might have the appearance of '
being extorted by the riotous proceedings of the 9th of Au--
gust, and consequently requiring that the workpeople shall
resume their employment before any proposal for an advance jl
can be even entertained.—Manchester Guardian.

TEASING AN ELEPHANT.—On Saturday evening last, se-
veral gentlemen went into a wild beast show at Sheerness,
some of whom began to tease the elephant which forms part-
of the exhibition, and which is not confined otherwise than
by a short chain round one of its legs ; the gentlemen
amused themselves for a while by offering the huge but do-
cile animal apples and other things, and when he extended
his proboscis to receive them, putting them into their pockets
again ; but not much relishing such sort of sport, the saga-
cious animal, taking an opportunity when several of his tor-
mentors were in a cluster near him, extended his trunk, and
with one swoop laid seven of them sprawling on the floor,
who, not knowing what the next evolution of the "perfor-
ming elephant" might be, began to call out lustily for the
keepers, but their presence was not needed, as Leviathan
seemed quite satisfied with having laid his tormentors pros-
trate at his feet, kicking about to get out of his reach, whilst
the wives and daughters of some of the party were going into
fits, and the company generally rushing towards the place of
egress. All the gentlemen who were knocked down by the
elephant escaped free from harm, except a good fright, which
they will, no doubt, remember should they ever enter ano-
ther wild beast show.—Kent Herald.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon, as three of
the workmen employed in pulling down the county jail were
engaged in demolishing portions of the east side of the House
of Correction, the iron supporters, with part of the upper
or second floor balcony, on which they were standino., gave
way, and they were precipitated among the building materials
on the ground, which was many feet from the balcony. The
crash was tremendous, and on the officers of the goal and the
workmen on the premises going to the spot, they found the
three unfortunate men buried under a mass of the fallen
building materials. They were immediately extricated ; two
of them, we regret to state, are so dreadfully bruised by the
fall, that it is feared one of them cannot recover, as he ap-
peared almost lifeless when taken up. One of his companions
has also sustained many, though it is hoped not fatal, injuries.
The third man only received prompt surgical aid. [Since
writing the above we hear that one of the sufferers named
Henry Sparks, died soon after admission into the hospital;
both his legs were dreadfully fractured. William Stevens
has sustained concussion of the brain, and is in much danger.
William Holley is suffering from injury to his legs, but not
of a serious nature.]—Berkshire Chronicle.
THE Two THOUSAND POUNDS ROBBERY..—A full de-
scription of the persons suspected of committing this robbery
at Preston Guild was forwarded to the various police stations
in the metropolis. At a late hour on Saturday night a per-
son of the name of Stowell, who resides at 4. Bowling-green=
street, Kennington, informed police-constables Murray and
Winch, Nos. 119 and 140 M, that he was in Preston on the
day of the robbery, and that he had traced the suspected
person to No. 3, Hercules-buildings, Lambeth, whither the
two constables instantly repaired, and succeeded in capturing
a mqn and a woman. The former gave the name of Jovel,
the latter Elizabeth Bailey. The female was instantly identi-
fied as being the person supposed to have committed the
robbery ; she went with the male prisoner to an accommoda-
tion-house a few miles from Preston, where she dropped one
of the stolen notes. Both prisoners were searched; on Jovel
was found a flash note for £5O of the " Bank of Engraving,"
but none of the stolen notes were found on either, the opinion
being that they have banked them.
APPREHENSION OF ONE OF THE ENGLISH STRIKE
DELEGATES.—A few days ago, Captain Richardson, of the
Gorbals police, received a communication from London,
dicating the presence in Glasgow of a person named Ellis
one of the agents through whose exertions the workmen of;
Burslem, in Staffordshire, had been induced to join in the late
strike for an advance of wages. Whether Ellis intended to
pursue the same tactics with the men of Glasgow, or had
merely fled to this quarter for shelter from the effects of his
improper conduct in Burslem, it is impossible in the mean
time to determine; certain it is some of the London authori-
ties considered his arrest of great consequence to the peace
of the country, as, in addition to the intimation received by
Captain Richardson from one of the inspectors of the London
police, an officer was despatched to Glasgow on a special
mission to discover his whereabouts. The services of this
messenger, however, were altogether unnecessary to the
apprehension of Ellis, as Captain Richardson, on receipt of
the above letter, took such measures as to have him in cus-
tody shortly afterwards. The prisoner was discovered, em-
ployed in Annfield Pottery, at the east end of Gallogate-
street, and on Thursday was quietly, handed over to one of
the English police,_ with whom he is now on his way to the
scene of his misconduct. It is said that Ellis, who is a man
of talent, addressed the mob immediately before the burning
of the minister's house in Staffordshire. Ellis is a tall lean
figure, six feet in height, about 33 years of age, and rather
talkative. During his employ in Annfield Pottery letters
and papers came to him in another name.— Glasgow chronicle.
