THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE. CHLORODYNE is admitted by the Profession to be the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovere d CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHLORODYNE effectually checks and arrests those too often fatal diseases-Diphtheria, Fever, Croup, Ague. CHLORODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms. CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Toothache, Meningitis, &c. From Lord FRANCIS CONYNGHAM, Mount Charles, Donegal, 11th December, 1868. Lord Francis Conyngham, who this time last year bought some of Dr J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne from Mr Davenport, and has found it a most wonderful medicine, will be glad to have half-a-dozen bottles sent at once to the above address." "Earl Russell communicated to the College of Physicians that he received a dispatch from her Majesty's Consul at Manilla, to the effect at Cholera has been raging fearfully, and that the ONLY remedy of any service was CHLORODYNE."—See Lancet, 1st December, 1864. CAUTION-BEWARE of PIRACY and IMITATIONS. CAUTlow.-Vice-Chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD stated that Dr J. COLLIS BROWSE was, undoubtedly, the In- ventor of CHLORODYNE that the story of the Defendant, FREEMAN, was deliberately untrue, which, he regretted to say, had been sworn to.—See Times, 13th July, 1864. Sold in Bottles at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and lis. each. None is genuine without the words "Dr J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE on-the Government Stamp.

CORN, d-c.
CORN, d-c. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—TUESDAY. Market opened very dull, but the attendance subse- quently swelled, and a brisk demand set in, induced by the low prices. A large business has resulted in Wheat, at the DECLINE of FRIDAY LAST. Flour has been better, and prices are the same as on Tuesday last. Barley rather dearer. Egyptian Beans Is. 6d. higher. Oats and Oatmeal firm. Indian Corn slow, and 6d. per qr. cheaper. LONDON, MONDAY.—With another large supply of foreign Oats last week, the other arrivals of grain were moderate. Ex- ports: 8,140 qrs. Wheat, 50 qrs. Oats, 370 qrs. Rye. English Wheat 4,820 qrs., foreign 15,793 qrs. The show of fresh samples from Kent and Essex this morning was scanty, but sales could only be made at ONE SHILLING LESS than the nominal prices of last Monday. Some of that day's samples remaining on hand, American qualities were fully Is. per qr. cheaper, and the same reduction was necessary on all low samples. Country Flour 21,794 sacks foreign 580 sacks 11,527 barrels. Though Norfolks and other country marks were not offered at less money the business was limited. Fereign sacks were only in retail request; barrels were about 6d. easier. Town prices were unchanged. British Barley 446 qrs., foreign 8,127 qrs. The small business done in malting sorts was on the previous terms, foreign of all descriptions was rather hardening in value. The Malt trade was again very quiet at the previous currency. Maize 247 qrs. Sales were made at fully 6d. per qr. advance on fine corn. English Oats 1,104 qrs., foreign 37,488 qrs. With the weather colder again, and the want of rain greatly felt, prices of fresh corn were im- proved by 3d. to 6d. per qr. Native Beans 246 qrs., foreign 54 qrs. A country demand raised values generally fully Is. per qr. English Peas 241 qrs., foreign 750 qrs. The trade was very firm for all descrintions.

NEWCASTLE, SATURDAY.—At to-day's market there was a small supply of wheat, for which there was but little demand, and prices were fully Is. per qr. lower than last week. Trade with merchants sluggish, at above reduction. Small supply of other grain, which sold slowly at reduced rates. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.—Our Corn Exchange was pretty well supplied with samples of wheat, which met a steady inquiry, at a reduction of about Is. per qr. The trade for barley was heavy, and prices were unchanged. Oats and beans scarce, met a slow sale, and last week's prices were fully established. PETERBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—The attendance of farmers and factors was fair, and the show of wheat tolerable. Business was confined, and samples were taken off at a decline of Is. per qr. Fine qualities of barley were quite as dear. Other sorts cheaper. Oats and beans made late rates, and dull of sale. LEICESTER, SATURDAY.—Choice qualities of wheat were in request, at a reduction of Is. per qr. The supply of barley was small, and recent prices were fully sustained. Oats must be quo- ted a trifle cheaper, and beans fully as dear. Peas fetched former terms. LLANGOLLEN, SATURDAY.—The quotations were as follows: White Wheat, 6s. 9d. to 7s. 3d.; Red ditto, 6s. 4d. to 6s. 9d.; Barlev, malting, 0s. Od. to 0s. Od.; ditto, grinding, 0s. Od. to 0s.

WELSHPOOL, MONDAY-- Quotations:-Wheat (per 801bs.) 7s. Od. to 7s. 6d.; old ditto, Os. Od. to Os. Od.; Barley (per 40 qts.), 5s. 9d. to 6s. 3d.; Oats, (per bag), 16s. to 19s. Od.; Eges, 20 for is. Butter, Is. Od. to Is. 2d. per lb.; Fowls, 3s. Od. to 4s. 31. per couple; Ducks, Os. Od. to Os. Od. Potatoes, 4s. Od. to 4i. 6d. per bushel. Millers not being willing to give the advance asked, business was checked, and we have to report no alteration in prices.
CATTLE.
CATTLE. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.—There was a tolerable show of beef at our market, the trade for which was fair, at prices rang- ing from 6d. to 7d. per lb. Very little doing for mutton, which changed hands at the full prices of last week, prime qualities making from 7d. to 8d. Pork and veal a quiet sale, and realised' last week's prices. PETERBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—The demand for beef was fair, and prime qualities made from 6id. to 7d. per lb. Very little change in the price of mutton, which changed hands at from 7d. to 8d. Small show of pork, and the trade was heavy at recent prices. Veal a quiet sale and high in price. METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.-The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 8,961 head. More firmness has been noticed in the cattle trade to-day, and the quotations have had an upward tendency. The demand for beasts has not been active, but owing to the shortness of the supply enhanced rates have been realized, the best Scots and crosses selling at 4s. lOd. to 5s. 04. per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,400 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, 450 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 160 Scots and crosses. There has been a falling off in the receipts of Sheep, and prime English breeds have been very scarce. For all qualities there has been a healthy inquiry at an improvement of 2d. per 81b. The best Downs and half-breds have been disposed of at 5s. 2d. to 5s. 4d. per 81b. Lambs have been in fair request, at from 6s. 6d. to 7s. 4d. per 81b. For Calves there has been a moderate inquiry, on former terms. For Pigs the transactions have been restricted, at about late rates.
MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—The improved tone of our market, noticed in our last report, has gradually increased to a more steady trade; andalthough business is still far from large, there is more disposition to operate. New English fully support late currency. Americans of the last growth are taken up sparingly, the prices quoted being so much in excess of those asked for yearlings as to offer no temptation to buyers. Imports for the week ending 21st May, 789 bales against 532 last week.

Stocks at the close of the season were very limited. Trefoils, both English and foreign, are too dear to bring forward purchasers. English Rapeseed remains- very scarce, and the few orders for sowing commanded very high rates. Fine white Mustardseed was quite as dear. Good Canaryseed continues to sell well, and fully as much money was obtained for the few parcels offering. Not much demand for foreign Tares for sowing, but small quantities were still saleable for feeding purposes. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.—There has been a healthy de- mand, principally for the choicest descriptions, and values have been well maintained. Other qualities have been purchased to a fair extent.

There is, perhaps, a little nora inquiry for better sorts. Prices show no change. Business in yarns is as quiet as ever. There is not, however, much machinery standing in this neighbourhood. The piece trade is flat, with drooping prices, a condition of things which is partly to be ascribed to over production. LONDON POTATO, MONDAY.—The supplies of Potatoes have been moderate. The trade has been slow at about lato rates. English Shaws 120! to 140s. per ton. English Regents 110s. to 130s.

WHAT THE BALLOT WILL DO.
WHAT THE BALLOT WILL DO. There is no doubt, we suppose, that the Ballot will soon become the law of the land; and the ease with which the change promises to be effected seems to us to point to one significant fact—a growing impression that secrecy in voting will make little difference in the result. Only in this way can we account for the singular absence of party spirit displayed in the discussion of the question. It ia true that the increasing determination to promote purity of election may have a good deal to do with the great advance of recent years, or rather months, in the direotion of secret voting; but if either party believed that the other would gain a signal advantage by the Ballot, we fancy we should hear the old arguments against it-some of them cogent enough-urged with the old eloquence. We are not sanguine as to the result, or at any rate the immediate result, of the Ballot, either in promoting the return of liberal members, or, what is far more important, the return of men, of whatever politics, who really repre- sent the constituencies. Let us take North Shropshire, for example. We believe the farmers will go on voting for conservative members after the ballot is introduced, first, because they will follow their landlords, some of them from custom, and others from fear and secondly, because they have been taught to believe that the con- servatives are their friends, and, absurd as the belief un- doubtedly is, it will take a great deal of instruction to teach them better. Perhaps Mr LOWE will con- vert them in a body next year by abolishing the malt tax, which they have always fondly trusted in Mr DISRAELI to do; but, failing that, the liberals will act wisely by placing little confidence in the Ballot, and a great deal in political education. All who took part in the last election must know that many farmers felt compelled to vote against their inclinations; but of the great bulk we believe we speak truly, when we say that the mere provision of secrecy will not alter their votes The vicious idea that they must follow their landlords, and the fear of evil if they presume to act independently, will hardly be removed by the Ballot. In Wales, we are inclined to think the effect of secret voting will bWlJ greater, for there the farmers are liberals by conviction, and vote with their landlords only when they feel absolutely compelled to do so. Under cover of secret voting, we fancy, large numbers who now vote for the conservatives will pluck up courage to take the other side, and the number of liberal members will be still further increased, if, indeed, any conservative representatives are left in the Principality. Of course the unconstitutional in- fluence of landlords and agents can still be exercised to a considerable extent, but other influences, of a more legiti- mate kind, are brought to bear upon the Welsh elector, and the balance, we fancy, will be struck in favour of electing a representative of the whole constituency, and not of one class in it. In towns it is more difficult to esti- mate the effects of secrecy. In boroughs where there is some great preponderating power that wrests the votes of the electors from their proper quarter, the Ballot, no doubt, will exert a powerful influence for borough electors are, generally, men of greater political earnestness than those of county constituencies, and gladly support their own opinions when a chance of doing so without loss presents itself. Bribery will still continue, for awhile at any rate, and there are effectual methods of bribing even under the Ballot; but treating" and corruption of other kinds will hardly be practised so extensively when the well-primed voter may go against his "friends" without detection. Intimidation by mobs, too, will be a more difficult matter under the new regime; and, whether the Ballot is a good or bad device in itself, there is good reason to hope that it will promote greater order and sobriety in borough elec- tions. On the whole, conceding the principle that open voting is not a duty which the State ought to enforce, we may look for good results from the Ballot, especially after it has been in operation for a few years; but at the same time we are afraid its warmest advocates will be disap- pointed, and most certainly a great mistake will be made' if the prospect of secret voting should lead politicians to neglect the education of the constituencies, or tt careful organization which will be quite as necessary, and all the more difficult, in the altered circumstances to which we are looking forward. We rejoice in the Ballot chiefly be. cause it will checkmate some corruption-mongers, and put others to an infinite amount of trouble to accomplish their scandalous purposes. -Oswestry Adve; tizer.
