To her so loved SO soon to be left utterly alone.

To die as fits his brother true for Scotland and for him.

The last hrob broken heart seemed borne every word
Upon the cold damp dungeon floor they kneel in earnest

For mercy for himself he pray for her the strength to bear
Her awful crushing weight of VICE. and for his native land

The day has dawned ring heavy steps along the rocky floor
The parting has arrived wide swings the iron door,
She cngs him but death could her grasp away
She's snatched from his ettered arms and hurried to the

Borne onward by the srgng statue mid the rong
With bloodles face and stony gazethey carry her along;
A rushing strs the crowd, poor Agnes looks on

Upon the scafod Nigel stands her gaze frozen there;
The captive bares his noble head and bends his knee in
prayer
Her eyes grow dm her whrng brain fierce flames seem

When her awe-struck senses falls harsh and horrd

WOOL VA KETs.
BOSTON.

The wool market is weak and prices
irregular, says the Bulletin, under gen.
eral pressure To realize OH consignments
though the transactions for the past
week foot up n large aggregate. There
is no real demand for staple in the
present forbid condition of the goods
market. But wool has been forced
down 10 figures which render it very
safe 10 operate; and, with a choice
selection offering to consumers, upon
exceedingly favorable terms, the
temptation is very strong for them TO
lay IN stocks.
Some OF our large manufacturing cor
porations have availed themselves OF
this opportunity. during the last two
weeks, to buy up choice lots of domes-
tic \ DOL at rates almost, and in some
cases quite, as low as the same grades
can he purchased from the grower at the
point of production. Wool is undoubt-
eddy good investment at rates now
current in the Atlantic markets, in any
rational view which can be taken of the
future of the trade and the man ufactur-
ing interest But no speculative feel
Ing has, as Yet, been developed, and the
large sales which We record have been
made wholly for consumption.
The chances are decidedly in favor of
reaction and Improvement in values,
when receipts shall have considerably
fallen off and the stocks of both wool
and its manufactures shall have been
materially reduced. But no such i'm
provement can take place as long as the
goods market remains Inactive. and
wool has 70 be forced upon reluctant
buyers. Holders are anxious to sell, be.

Pittsburg Oil Trade.

PTTrsBURG, August Z, 1867.
BUsINEss-The crude market appear
ed firmer: the sales made being at u
slight advance. The views of dealers
don't seem to run in the same channel.
1t is astonishing what difference ex-
lists between men engaged in the same
business. The meeting on Change was
largely attended. Considerable dis
cussion took place, the subject being
"Oil, the Supply and Demand" The
Eastern and European news is looked
for with considerable interest; The ca
BILE news reported a slight advance IN
the Liverpool market. Dispatches from
Oil City report quiet market i'll the
oil regions, with sales at the mouth of
the creek to q moderate extent at 25a
3 so pc" barrel, according to the grav-
ity. The nominal rates in our market
were AZ follows: Spot oil held at l2c,
first or second Allegheny rise; sellers
option lOtallc; for delivery the last
four months in 1867, buyers option, l2c.
The stock of oil in this market being in
tank, holders are not disposed to give
way or part with it unless the figures
suit their views. They argue, correctly,
that fall rises in the Allegheny are very
uncertain fact which cannot be de-
MED. The amount of crude sold for
first and second rise delivery is large.
The sales yesterday were 1900 bbls, as
follows:
TRANSACTIONS IN BULK.
5000 bbls bulk, after September LIST, b.
o. lie.
1000 bbls bulk, first or second rise, b.
o. l0tc.
2000 bbls bulk, first water, lie.
1000 bbls bulk, first or second rise, :.
o. lie.
Several other lots were under negotia-
ton, but had not been cOnsummated up
to the time of our leaving the market.
The advantages of the market as COM
pared with the previous day, were on
the side of holders.
REFINED OLIVE find the market in
q very unsettled state. The operations
as reported being one sale, for October,
delivery, at pretty low fignres. Later
in the day, higher figures were offered,
but there WIS nothing doing. A Phil
adelphia dispatch received in the at
ternOon furnished the following in re-
gard to the Philadelphia market: Buy
ers were offering PSI for spot, standard
white, and BIZ for September and De-
tOber. No sales were reported at the
figures we have quoted. In our market
the sales comprise 800 bbls standard
white, Philadelphia, for October, i. o.
at 30!c: other sales were no lOuht made.

NEW YORK. August 1.-THE report OF
the committee OF the commission on
Emigration, relative to the seventeen
deaths from cholera aboard tn" Austrian
ship, says The bread was moldy and
Disgusting; There were neither sugar nol
tea on board; the potatoes were insult
icirmt in quantity: the treatment oi
the passengers was most shocking, and
the great mortality among them was
in consequence of bad food and. water;
there was neither doctor nor IA drug

crueltieS were committed tn save a few
hundred dollars. The twenty passen'
gers who have died on board have been
murdered, the report emphatically
