HUMPHREY'S OINTMENT ■will be found thoroughly efficacious in the following ailments and complaints, which it will relieve and cure without fail:- Scorbutic and other Ulcers, Sore Legs, Sore Breasts, Scrofulous Tumours, Burns, bcalds, Sore or Scabby Heads, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, and all inflamed diseases of the Skin.

LONDON, MONDAY.—Last week's supplies of grain were mode- rate, but heavy in country Flour. Exports, 50 qrs. Wheat, 8,067 qrs. Rye. English Wheat 7,118 qrs., foreign 4,397 qrs. There was a very short supply this morning on the Kentish and Essex stands; yet the large arrival of flour had its influence with millers, who were by no means anxious buyers. Prices remained as on last Monday. The foreign trade too seemed influenced by the holidays, and some concession would have been necessary to make free sales. Country Flour 26,324 sacks, foreign 1,274 sack3 106 barrels. Business was in calm in consequence of the large country supply, but Norfolks were not offered at less money. The foreign trade was very slow and only retail at former rates. Town prices unchanged. Maize 8,852 qrs. Notwithstanding the small supply this grain was 6d. per qr. lower. British Barley 861 qrs., foreign 3,146 qrs. The little done in malting sorts was at previous quotations, but low grinding qualities were rather against buyers. The Malt trade remained dull at former rates. English Oats 367 qrs., Irish 500 qrs., foreign 11,393 qrs. The continued falling off gave more freshness to the demand, and prices were fully 6d. to Is. higher. Native Beans 623 qrs., foreign none. This pulse was dull, and prices nominal. English Peas 48 qrs., foreign 230 qrs. With short supplies there was no change of value. Linseed 998 qrs., exports 161 qrs. The demand was slow at former rates both for seed and cake.

The show of Beasts in the Metropolitan Market this morning was a full average for the time of year; but, 0 wing to a falling off in the quality of the stock, the actual weight of meat exhibited was somewhat less than on Monday last. The scarcity of prime stock which has been noticed for some weeks past is doubtless owing to the fact that the high prices current have been a suffi- cient inducement to graziers to forward their stock to market in a half-fat condition, thereby disposing of the same on very re- munerative terms, and avoiding the expense of further keep. As regards trade, a want of animation was noticed, and prices, although not quotably lower, had a drooping tendency. Foreign breeds were difficult to sell. The best English breeds found buyers at about last week's quotations, the price for the best Scots and crosses being 5s. 6d. to 5s. 8d. per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 900 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, about 500 various breeds; from Scotland, 164 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 40 oxen. The market was well supplied with Sheep, including a good show of foreign. The demand was inactive, at barely late quotations. The best Downs and half-breds sold at 5s. Sd. to 5s. lOd. per 81b. For Lambs the trade was dull, at from 6s. to 7s. 4d. per 81b. Calves were quiet at late prices. Pigs met a slow sale, at previous currencies. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The stock on offer consisted of 1.900 beasts and 12,145 sheep. There was a very small show of good beasts; middling and inferior very plentiful. A very large show of sheep and lambs for the time of the year. A very slow sale for all kinds of stock. There were about 350 foreign cattle and about H,000 sheep on offer of very middling descriptions, and a good many left unsold. Prices: Best beasts. 8Jd. to 81<1.; second best, 7id. to 8d.; inferior, 5d. to 7d.; sheep, 7d. to 9jd.; lamb, lOd. to Is. per lb. » LEI. ESTER, THURSDAY.—Our market was fairly represented w'J a eef, and the demand was steady, at prices ranging from 6d. to 7d. per lb. Mutton was difficult to sell at former rates, viz., 7d. to Sd. Calves a moderate show, and quite as dear, the demand being quiet. Pork a little dearer. METROPOLITAN, THURSDAY.—Beasts at market, 910; sheep, 11,630; calves, 303; pigs, 10. Quotations per stone of Slb:-Beef, 3s. 8d. to 6s. 2d.; mutton, 3s. 8d. to 5s. 10d.; veal, 3s. 4d. to 5s. 6d.; pork, 3s. Sd. to 5s. 6d.; lamb, 5s. to 6s. 4d. Beef quiet and unaltered. Demand for mutton and lamb inactive. Veal and pork as last noted. BIRMINGHAM WHITSUNTIDE FAIR, THURSDAY.—We were fairly supplied with beasts to-day. which met a fair demand at late rates. The supply of sheep and lambs was large; the mutton trade slow, at ld. per lb decline. Good lambs in fair request, at late prices; interior sold upon ea-ier terms. Calves were in fair request, at late quotations. The supply of milch and barren cows was moderate; the demand slow. Milch cows realised from £ 15 to £ 23 each; barrens, £ 9 to £ 16; yearlings, £ 6 to £ 7 each; ewes and lambs, 46s. to 55s.; ewes, 27. to 40s. each. The supply of horses was moderate; very little business done. MISCELLANEO US. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.-The arrivals last week from Ireland were 165 firkins Butter and 2,953 bales Bncon, and from foreign ports 22,027 casks. &c., Butter. and 1,797 bales Bacon. The transactions in Irish Butter are still extremely limited a few third and fourth casks sold at 92s. and 84s. landed. Foreign butter in good demand; prices advanced, best Dutch to 104s. and 106s. The Bacon market ruled steady; the best Waterford brands most in demand, at 78s. on board for sizeable meat. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—Our market continues very dull, home growths attracting little or no attention, even at lower rates, unless exceptionally fine, and Continental ruling flat, at a trifle under late currency. Americans are hardly in such good request, owing to continued heavy arrivals. Continental mar- kets remain without any alteration of importance. New York letters to the 6th instant report the market as quiet, but firm for fine qualities. WORCESTER HOP, SATURDAY.—Messrs Piercy, Longbottom, and Faram's circular says-" Our market to-day is unchanged in every respect, with no hops offering, and but a retail demand for fine and choice qualities; prioes cannot be quoted better. We have some complaints of flea and irregular bine, but this report causes no uneasiness at present, although later it may enhance values." LONDON SEED, MONDAY.—There was very little English Cloverseed offering and none wanted. Foreign red qualities are still taken off at moderate prices to hold over for another season. White samples are little asked for. Trefoils are offered at very moderate prices, but not wanted. White Mustardseed remains high, and are saleable for sowing. Tares are scarce, and now dear, few being left over for another season. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.—There has been scarcely any in- quiry for English wool throughout the week, and prices, influen- ced by the fall in the value of colonial produce, and the immense quantity of the latter on hand and on passage, have again given way. The new clip is of good quality, and the yield per animal is good; but the total clip is decidedly below that of last year. CURRENT PRICES OF ENGLISH WOOL. S. d. tO s. d.

There is little or nothing doing for the continent, and the offers coming to hand from abroad are so low that they seldom result in business. Opera- tions are generally confined to scanty purchases in order to assort stocks. There is, if anything, a slight improvement in the home demand, and on the whole a steady business doing. The stocks of spinners are accumulating, and though an effort is made by most to maintain quotations with firmness, yet there is a tendency to easier rates in many quarters, especially where there is some probability of thereby obtaining a customer. Pieces: The piece trade, unlike the other branches, presents some indications of a revival. A more cheerful feeling prevails. Manufacturers are busy in producing and offering new styles of fancy goods, and frequently receive some orders, though these are not given with the freedom usual at this season. There is also rather more doing in plain goods. Both the home and for- eign merchants are increasing, their operations to a limited extent. There is a meagre business doing for America, and also for the East, apparently with a better disposition on the part of merchants to operate. Prices are firm. LONDON POTATO, MONDAY.—The markets are well supplied. Business continues limited, at our quotations. h English Regents. 60s. to 100?. per ton. Flukes 60s. to 1S0s.

The iron trade of South Wales at the present time manifests no vitality excepting in the rail department, and it is satisfactory to find that the prospects of this important branch of the trade are, if anything, more favourable than they have been during the present year. French, Belgian, and other foreign makers have sufficient engagements to keep them fully employed during the summer months, and the large supplies of rails are required forthwithf or Russia and other northern ports, readily accounts for the reluctance now shown by makers in this district to enter into large contracts for forward delivery at present prices. There are several buyers disposed to purchase to a considerable extent at the current quotations; but to such customers makers are evincing increased shyness, as the engagements they have on hand will keep them employed up to the close of the Baltic navi- gation season, and they look forward with something like certain- ty to an advance in prices before the expiration of the month of June. Large quantities of rails continue to be sent to the United States, Russia, and the Continental markets, the total exports last month reaching 50,586 tons, of which the United States took 19,991 tons, Russia 10,806 tons and the principal part of the remainder was sent to the Continental markets. The un- friendly feeling manifested in the United States at the present time towards this country occasions some misgivings in this district as to the preservation of peace, but strong hopes are entertained that nothing will arise out of the sutject of the Alabama claims to check the large transactions now being carried on between the two countries, and should the hopes now entertained be realised, the purchases on account of that quarter are likely to increase. The home trade continues quiet, and at present there is no prospect of an immediate improvement. The demand for pig-iron is barely up to the average, but there are scarcely any stocks on hand. The two blast furnaces at Briton Ferry, which have been out for a considerable time, will, it is said, be shortly blown in, and will add considerably to the prosperity of the district. Tin plate makers are fairly placed for orders, and the mills in the district are kept regularly running. Steam coal proprietors report a slight improvement in the trade, but a large number cf the colliers are working short time. For house coals there is about an average demand. LONDON PRODUCE.—SATURDAY. SUGAR.-Full rates demanded. Better sorts in fair request. Refined, market strong. COFFEE.—Business limited. Rates steady for Plantation Ceylon.. TEA.—Prices unaltered; but more doing in China. RICE.-Little business, at pievious rates. TALLOW.—Prices unchanged little doing.
IIREVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Express.) The past week, though commencing with a copious fall of rain, soon experienced a return of the east wind with a good deal of cold, which has somewhat retarded vegetation. This may, how- ever, prove serviceable to the wheat, which, if forced prematurely into ear, might be in danger of frosty nights. The general as- pect is too rank, with a great promise of straw and proportionately less corn than last year; but on some of the light lands there is much misplant, probably from wireworm or the curious changes of weather. Rain ha f allen in Europe generally, being welcomed in many places, but it is f ared in the south that the fall is likely to lay the corn from its advanced growth. It now seems next to impossible that such a crop as last year's can again be gathered; and with great sobriety in the prices, a like feature in the trade gets more established. We have, indeed, reached the period of weather markets, and sensitiveness would be justified if rates were high; but with critical times so near, farmers who now hold are not likely to be frightened, while foreign houses cannot be looking for much when there is so little to be received. Still the London trade is quite behind the country mark ts, and this seems as difficult to launch forward as was the Great Eastern, while we have to depend for leverage upon the country or the continent. In Paris the wheat trade has hardened, and also in some of the departments. Belgium, Holland, and Germany quote rather higher rates, as well as Switzerland, and the low prices ruling had induced some speculation. Trieste was dull, and in Russia there was no change; while in New York they have again fluctuated, closing firmer for wheat, every encouraging advice from England having much greater influence than a decline; and with the averages 30s. 3d. per qr. down from last year's rates, there is evidently plenty of room for a considerable rise in case of a bad blooming time or harvest. The consumption, too, must have been enormous, as the relatively high prices of other grain prevented its employment as, a substitute. The stocks in hand, I both here and abroad, consist almost exclusively of the last growth; and one year's plenty by no means warrants a lavish use. Again, as we nowhere hear of large arrivals excepting in the Western States and California, prices in Australia havejlately l'iseD, -==!m:= 'Í1"
COMING OF AGE OF G. W. DUFF…
COMING OF AGE OF G. W. DUFF ASSHETON- SMITH, ESQ., OF VAENOL, CARNARVONSHIRE. The people of Carnarvonshire are in high holiday this week to celebrate the majority of G. W. Duff Assheton- Smith, Esq. He is the eldest son of R. G. Duff, Esq., and the immense property, of which he took possession on Mon- day, was bequeathed to him by the widow of the late Assheton-Smith, Esq. The estate is said to comprise about 45,000 acres, but the most valuable portion of the property is the splendid slate quarry at Dinorwic, near Llanberis. The festivities commenced 011 Monday. The neighbouring towns of Bangor and Carnarvon were gaily decorated in honour of the occasion. At Vaenol itself the prepara- tions were on a most extensive scale the whole of the ar- rangements being entrusted to Mr Grogan, of London. A monster pavilion, capable of dining. a thousand persons, was erected in the park. It was superbly decorated, and brilliantly illuminated by Mr Green, of Cannon-street, London. Monday morning was ushered in by cannon firing, &c. In the afternoon the tenantry, numbering several hun- dreds, mustered in the park, to present an address of con- gratulation to Mr Duff Assheton-Smith this was fol- lowed by the presentation of other addresses from the servants on the estate, and from Bangor and Carnarvon. The several addresses were beautifully illuminated on vel- lum. The young squire suitably acknowledged the several addresses, and said that it should be his constant endeavour to maintain the cordial relations that had at all times sub- sisted between the owner and the dependents of the Vaenol Estate. At half-past six in the evening a banquet took place in the pavilion, to which about 600 sat down, under the presidency of Captain Duff, father of the young squire of Vaenol. Among the general company were—Lord Pen- rhyn, the Lord Bishop of Bangor, the Dean of Bangor, Major Grant Duff, G. W. Duff Assheton-Smith, Esq., Lord Torrington, Archdeacon Wynne Jones, Archdeacon Evans, John Platt, Esq., M.P., Townshend Mainwaring, Esq., Charles Mainwaring, Esq., Charles Gordon Duff, Esq., John Millington, Esq., the Mayor and Town Coun- cil of Carnarvon, Major Williams, the Chief Constable of Carnarvon, the Chief Constable of Anglesey, Captain Platt (R. C. Militia), H. J. Nanney, Esq. (Gwyn-fryn), Lloyd Edwards, Esq. Grace was said, before and after meat, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bangor. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN gave "The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," the Right Rev. the Bishop responding. The CHAIRMAN next proceeded to give the health of the Lord Lieutenant of Carnarvon (Lord Penrhyn), one of the most liberal and most popular landlords in North Wales. (Enthusiastic cheering.) Lord PENRHYN, who was most enthusiastically received, returned thanks. Mr ASSHETON-SMITH, who was warmly received, gave The health and prosperity of the Vaenol Tenantry"—(loud cheers)—and expressed a hope that he might always be able to say, as now, that no differences had ever arisen be- tween the landlord and the tenantry on this estate. (Loud cheers.) Dr HUNTER HUGHES, Penmon Castle, Pwllheli, on be- half of the tenants, returned thanks. Lord PENRHYN said—Having lived for many years on terms of the greatest intimacy with the late William Assheton-Smith, I feel particularly gratified at being selected to be the person to propose the toast of the day. (Loud cheers.) We are all assembled to-day at this most hospitable board to celebrate the having possession of, and the entering upon the exercise and performance of the duties of having possession of, the extensive Vaenol Estates by Mr Assheton Smith. (Loud cheers, renewed again and again.) Now, gentlemeh, the possession of large landed property is, in fact, the possession of means of effecting great good to the country. (Hear, hear.) Whatever may have been the effect of the exertions of people working to weaken the bonds binding together estate and tenantry, I feel that there is a feeling in the country, and in our minds a strong feeling, that this is a moment fraught with strong interest, not only to the friends and relations of the gentleman coming into the property, but it is also fraught with interest to everybody, from the landed squire and noble lord down to the poorest man in the county. (Renewed cheers.) Now, gentlemen, in this instance, if there is anything to be relied upon in blood-and I myself have very great faith in blood-if there is anything to be relied upon in education, if there is anything in that which we are told by very great authority to trust to, which is early education and instilling into our youth good feeling-the county has a guarantee, as far as that can possibly go, that in Mr Assheton-Smith there is an individual who will be found of great benefit. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen, I can go further than that, be- cause-although, being an old man, it is impossible for me to speak personally as an intimate acquaintance of the habits and feelings of Mr Assheton-Smith, but I have it from those who are of his own age, who mix with him, and who have constant opportunities of knowing him and judging of his feelings and character-I have had it from those that know him, that in him the county will have all it can possibly wish for. His lordship here made some facetious remarks upon the quality of the music, and the discernment he had displayed to-night in inoculating the guests with a taste for good music, and concluded with calling upon them to charge their glasses in drinking Long life and happiness to Mr Assheton-Smith." (Loud cheers, renewed again and again.) Mr ASSHETON-SMITH, who, upon rising, was received with thundering applause, said-I thank all for the flattering way in which Lord Penrhyn has proposed my health, and you have received it. (Applause.) It will always be my endeavour to promote anything that will produce kind feeling between us, and I trust that I may prove no unworthy descendant of the old stock. (Loud cheering.) I hope to do everything I can to promote the' well-being of my tenantry, and to retain, to use the words of one of the addresses presented to me to-day the good opinion and esteem with which the House of Vaenol has always been regarded. (Enthusiastic cheering.) Other complimentary toasts followed, and the proceeds ings were of a most enthusiastic character. A grand pyrotechnic displky, witnessed by some thou- sands of persons, brought the day's proceedings to a close. On Tuesday the tenantry were dined in the pavilions under the chairmanship of Mr T. Jones, sub-agent. After which a round of rustic sports took place. In the evening there was a grand ball in the pavilion, very largely any fashionably attended. .i
GUARDIANS ON DRESS. -
GUARDIANS ON DRESS. The Oswestry Advertiser reports the following discussion at the Ellesmere Board of Guardians on Tuesday:— J NIPPING CONCEIT IN THE BUD. Mr LLOYD said there was a matter which he wished to bring before the Board. He had been indirectly requested to ask per- mission fcr the girls in the house to wear hats instead of bonnets. f The hats would be found for them, and therefore the Board would be put to no expense.-Mr GRIFFITHS: I think the girls get con- ceited soon enough, without our helping them.—Mr THOMAS sug- gested that samples of the kind of hat it was intended to have should be submitted to the Board.—The MASTER produced a neat yellow straw hat, and was understood to say that the hats would r be like that, with the exception of the straw being black.—Mr EDWARDS: I shall deprecate it very strongly. I know my missis" won't allow one of her servant girls to wear a hat. If the children are brought up to wear cock-a-lorum hats here, they'll want to wear them when they go away. (A laugh.)—The CHAIRMAN: We. shall have to get a mistress of the ceremonies before long.—Mr GRIFFITHS We shall be having the workhouse turned into a play-house.—The CHAIRMAN I think the plainer and simpler the things they wear, the better. (Hear, hear.)—Mr COTTOK said he thought the hat upon the table was quite plain enough.— j Mr GRIFFITHS: It's the principle.—Mr COTTON reiterated what v he had just said.—Mr GRIFFITHS: They'd be wanting feathers to put on the hats next. Would'nt it look well for the girls from this place to walk through the streets of Ellesmere with hats and feathers. People would think they came from a boarding school instead of a workhouse; and you'd have young gentlemen coming, here a courting in a while. (Langhter.)-A bonnet having been v obtained and placed alongside the hat, the CHAIRMAN said he preferred the bonnet. Mr EDWARDS And so do I, to a cock-a- lorum hat. (Laughter.)—Mr GRIFFITHS It's like the altar cloth, and we shall be going on to Roman Catholicism. If I were to pass my opinion about the way in which ladies dress themselves now-a-days, I should say they are making themselves ngly.—The CHAIRMAN: There's not much difference in the expense, I sup- pose?—Mr LLOYD: The hats would'nt cost us anything.—Mr GRIFFITHS: I beg to propose that we stick to the bonnets.—The proposition was seconded by Mr EDWARDS and another Guardian simultaneously, and then passed.

The opening of the new chapel of St. John's College, Cam- bridge, was celebrated on Wednesday week, when the Earl of Powis and the Bishop of Lichfield were amongst those who were present. The east end of the chapel forms a five-sided apse, the windows of which are the gift of the Earl of POWIS- They are filled with richly stained glass, the subject being Passages from the Life of our Lord.' The tracery of the various windows is varied and rich, and the carving which embellishes their exterior and interior is '1 well executed, and has a most pleasing effect. The Bishop of Lichfield preached the sermon. DANGER OF CHILDREN PLAYING WITH LUCIFER MATCHES. *FT -On Wednesday, firemen on duty at the Crystal Palace were called to extinguish a fire raging in the grounds of Mr D. Child, a carman, situate in the Red ,Road, Gipsey Hill, Upper Norwood. The engines were drawn out of the Palace and taken to the spot, when it was found that some children, whilst playing with Lucifer Matches, had set fire to a stack of hay. The firemen, however, managed to confine the fire to only one stack. Mr Child was not in. sured-Standard, 12th August 163.-Acciclents of this kind could not possibly arise with Bryant and May's Patent Special Safety Match which ignites only on box. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Epidemic Diseases. —The alarming increase of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea should be a. warning to every one to subdue at once any irregularity tending towards disease. Holloway's Pills should now be in every household to rectify all impure states of the blood, to remedy weakness, and to overcome impaired general health. Nothing can be simpler than the instruc- tions for taking this corrective medicine, nothing more efficient than its cleansing powers, nothing more harmless than its vegetable ingredients. Holloway's is the best physic during the summer season, when decaying fruits and unwholesome vegetables are frequently deranging the bowels, and daily exposing thousands, through their negli- gence in permitting disordered action, to the dangers of diarrhcea, dysentery, and cholera.^
