DUBLIN-SETT. 24,  There was a good supply of new grain at our market today, and the business generally quiet. Wheat of prints quality supported the currencies of Tuesday, but middling samples and oats of all kinds were 6d cheaper. Malting barley was taken steadily at our last quotations, and for two or three extra fine parcels even higher rates were paid, but they are not fairly quotable. Grinding barley was 6d to Is cheaper.  s. d. s. d. Wheat, white 26 6 to 28 6 Do., red 24 0 to 26 0 Do., new Barley Oats Do., black l4 oto 15 0  s. d. s. 6.

Some pieces of ground, which had been let out at 180 f. a-year, and the total value of which was estimated at 7,405 f., were sold by auction at 16,658 f., or more than double the estimated worth. The Union adds that the produce of this sale will augment to a very considerable extent the resources of the hospital.  An account was given some time back of a diamond, said to be of great value, having got into the possession of a Portuguese, who had taken it to a watering' place in Germany. Afterwards a statement was made that some of the best lapidaries of Vienna and Paris had declared it to be merely a topaz, and of no great value. The possessor, it appears, not considering himself defeated, determined to appeal to the decision of the Venetian jewellers, who are considered very superior judges. A letter from Venice thus relates the somewhat melancholy end of this affair :—" The holder of the disputed jewel arrived at Venice, attended by several persons, who had made him advances of money. He there submitted the stone in question to the examination of several jewellers, and amongst them to Righetti, of the Rialto. On his applying the usual tests, and endeavouring to scratch it, it split almost in two. This result was overwhelming, as it was but too clear that the pretended diamond had fallen altogether from its assumed rank. The Venetians unanimously declared it to be not even a Brazilian topaz, but only one found in Saxony. The unfortunate proprietor was so much affected at the intelligence that he became deranged in his mind, and two days after was found in one of the lagoons, when life was almost extinct. He was saved from suicide, and taken to an hospital, but long continued speechless. The individual most interested in his success, after himself, had an attack of paralysis, and on his recovering commenced legal proceedings against the unfortunate possessor of the stone, who is looked upon as the victim of lus own delusions." [AnvEnTisEmENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—The sufferings to which delicate females are subjected by ignorant practitioners, and the no less serious evils they endure in consequence of self-neglect, are terrible to contemplate. In all disorders of the sex, and in every crisis perilous to the life and health of women, youthful or aged, married or single, they might regulate their own healthwithout risk or trouble if they would provide themselves with these Pills, and take them according to the printed directions, which are so plain and simple that a child could be guided by them. They are composed of rare balsams, without a single particle of mercury or any other deleterious substance, and are therefore as safe as they are efficacious. [A
