The agricultural prospects in Ireland are very satisfac- tory. In the north oat sowing is finished, and the lands which only received the last stroke of the harrow a fortnight ago are now seen green with the young braird. Wheat lands show a rich braird, well coloured, and very thickly set with the young plants. The early finished portion of the potato crop promises well. BATH CHEESE.—To one gallon of new milk add two quarts of cold water, rennet it sufficient to turn it (not hard) take it gently out with the skimming dish, and lay it in the vat until full; put a weight upon it, and apply dry cloths for a day or two, when turned out on a plate with another over it, and turned occasionally. They are ready in about a fortnight. Sometimes they are kept be- tween vine leaves after they are turned out of the vats, and if so these should be changed twice a day.-Agi-icitl- ture Gazette. A FRENCH AGRICULTURAL INVENTION.—At the last sittirg of the congress of learned societies of the depart- ments, M. d'llhers, of Orleans, gave the agricultural section some interesting details respecting the coating of corn, of which he is the inventor. This system consists in enveloping the grain, by means of some glutinous sub- stance, with manure, such as animal black. The results the experiments made in the Sologne, on land of so worth- less a description as to be let at three francs the hectare (two and a half acres), have been, he states, of the most satisfactory description. The coating is effected by means of a cylinder, invented by M. d'llliers, and the patent was disposed of by him to Messrs, Parker and Co., of London, corn factors, for a sum of £ 20,000. The expense of coating amounts to about 35 francs per hectolitre of corn. This system may also be employed in all articles of garden produce, beetroot, &c. The' congress warmly thanked M. d'I\Hers for his communication. -Galig?za?zi's Messenger. SERIOUS INJUIIY PRODUCED RY SPURIOUS AND ADUL- TERATED AIEDICINES.-One of the obvious and almost in- evitable evils produced by the too prevalent practice of sub- stituting counterfeit or adulterated for genuine and pure articles of the Materia ldcdica, in addition to the serious injury inflicted upon the patient, is to damage or destroy the reputation of the remedy—rendering its effect uncertain, and weakening the confidence of the medical practitioner who prescribes or administers it.

ON CERTAIN OBSTRUCTIONS WHICH FORM IN DRAINING-TILES. BY M. IIERVE MANGON. Translated from an article ilt the French Scientific Review, "Cosmos," by J. Evelyn Venison, 31. P. In certain soils the water from drains forms, more or less quickly, a deposit of solid matters which create an obstruction in tiles, prevent all flow, and render the work done useless. This is the most serious mischief which can happen to works of drainage; and unless it can be pre- vented, it is vain to attempt the improvement of lands liable to be so affected, by draining. The obstructions formed in tile., by the chemical deposit of substances held in solution in the drainage-water are of two different, natures. One is formed principally of carbonate of lime the other contains a large proportion of oxide of iron, and exhibits an ochreous colouring, which has acquired for it the name of the ferruginous deposit. I will now explain the results of my investigations into these two classes of obstructions, and the simple means by which I am enabled to prevent their forming in draining- tiles. Calcareous Obstructions. — Spring water;? in calcareous soils contain sometimes a sufficient proportion of carbonate of lime to form incrustations; that is, they will deposit by exposure to air a greater or less proportion of calcareous salts. The same phenomenon occurs in draininz-tiles the bore rapidly diminishes, soon it becomes insufficient to allow a passage for the water which should flow through them, and the fruits of a great outlay are entirely lost. Waters charged with carbonate of lime hold it in solution by means of the carbonic acid gas which they contain. They remain limpid as long as the gas does not disengage itself. The calcareous deposit is only formed when the quantity of carbonic acid is no longer proportioned to the calcareous salt which the water contains. The formation of calcareous substances in drains may therefore be obviated by preventing the disengagement of the carbonic acid in the water which runs in the drains. This is easily done by cutting off all communication between the drains and the external air. The small quantity of atmospheric air in the subterraneous conduits soon imbibes carbonic acid in proportion to the volumes of gas dissolved in the water. This has then no longer a tendency to disengage itself. The water charged with the calcareous matter preserves its limpidity, and the flow may continue without interruption. Nothing is more easy than to realize this in practice. It is only necessary to place an air-trap (un regard pneu- matique) a few yards above the outfall, and, if it can be conveniently done, at the points of junction of the main drains. These air traps are constructed like ordinary traps, with two or three large tiles placed vertically on a flat stone, or upon a large flat tile, and covered in the same manner a little bit of solid work in brick or masonry is placed at the base of the traps. The tiles which dis- charge into them, in greater or less number, are solidly fixed, and sometimes built in for a short distance to avoid all danger of displacement. But contrary to the plan pursued with the ordinary trap, the conducting tile, to which an increased fall is given for a short distance, is placed at a slightly lower level than the discharging tile by this device the drain-tiles are cut off from all commu- nication with the outward air, and the desired condition is ohtainpcJ. Ferruginous Obstructions.- The obstructions of this nature are formed by abundant deposits of a muddy or gelatinous consisiency. Their tint varies from deep red to faded ochreous yellow. When the deposits are formed in calm water you see pellicules of varied hues appear on the surface, which the smallest agitation precipitates If) the bottom. These depoeits rapidly choke tiles of any dimen- sions, and completely stop the flow of the water. The waters in which these deposits are formed are those es- pecially which spring from lands rich in oxide or in sulphate of iron, from bogs, from peaty grounds, and from lands exposed to infiltrations from woods placed on a higher level. The products designated by the names crenic and apocrenic acids play an important part in the production of these deposits. The study of them in a purely chemical point of view merits attention, and I propose to undertake an examination of them as soon as a favourable opportunity permits me to collect a mass of materials sufficient for the inquiry. For the present, in a practical point of view, the following facts will suffice :-The composition of these deposits is necessarily very variable. It depends doubtless on the nature of the soil traversed by the waters which produce it. On the other hand, the deposits are almost always mechanically compounded with indeterminate, but often considerable, proportions of clay, of fine sand, and of vegetable detribus. To give an idea of the differences of composition which exist between one sample and another, the three following analyses are supplied 1. 2. 3. Sand, iron, and clay insoluble in hy- ) 17.00 29 75 7q 75 droobloric acid ) Alumina 3.67 37.5 5.75 Oxide of iron 37.67 49.70 4.75 Carbonate of lime o. 6.33 8.48 3.66 Carbonate of magnesia 2.24 1.14 Water in combination, substances not 1 proportioned and combustible or- > 34.67 3.07 7.55 ganic matter, azote not included.. ) Azote 0.66 2.01 0.40 100 00 100.00 100.00 Sample No. 1 was collected in the environs of Cassel; it was only dried in the air. The other two, before analyses, were dried at a temperature of about 80 degrees. Sample 2 was collected in the environs of Arras, and sample 3 comes from Henonville (Oise). I boiled 100 portions of these samples with potass. Sample 2. Sample 3. Silica 7.63 5.35 Alumina traces 2.15 7.63 7.50 An analogous deposit, collected at Drayton Manor, and analysed by Mr. Phillips of LondoD, furnished— Selica and alumina, with traces of lime 49.20 Peroxide of iron 27.80 Organic matter 23.00 100.00 It would bo difficult, as I said at the beginning, to de- duce very useful conclusions from these figures without detailed research. It is not the same with regard to the following facts, of which the practical interest will easily be appreciated. When you collect a recent deposit, and some of the water from which it is formed, by passing the whole through a filter you will obtain a liquid perfectly pure. This liquid, enclosed in bottles, entirely filled, and well corked, or placed in an atmosphere quite deprived of oxygen, preserves it transparency indefinitely. Exposed to the action of oxygen, or of atmospheric air, it becomes turbid it in a few moments, and begins to deposit the ochreous matter which forms the basis of the obstructions of which we are treating. The deposit collected in the drains, or in the ditches into which they discharge them- Sflves, may be easily freed from the liquid by washing s with pure water. By exposure to air the tint becomes more red. When after some hours it appears no longer to vary in colour, the deposit is placed in a bottle filled with water and corked the red tint will be seen to become by degrees dark brown or almost black. After some weeks, if the produce is filtered, a pure liquid is again ob- tained, but which rapidly becomes turbid by exposure to air. and allows the ochreous deposit, of which I have spoken, to form. At the same time the deposit left behind in the filter resumes the red tint which it presented at the moment it was inclosed in the bottle. The same series of observations may be repeated several times by the same sample. The product in question presents then this double character it becomes insoluble by its oxydation, and it is able, when left to itself, to reduce itself, so as to become partly soluble. If you place three or four cubic centimetres of the ochreous precipitate, recently collected, and saturated with the water from out of which it was formed, in a prover filled with oxygen, secured over a bowl of mercury, the absorption of gas is at first very rapid, then it slackens by degrees, and at last ceases al- together. During the first eight days of one of my experiments 14 cubic centimetres of gas were absorbed, while on the thirteen following days 5 cubic sentimetres only disappeared. The mass was then completely of a red tint, and, put through a filter, gave a clear liquid, and did not contain in solution any product worthy of re- mark. The liquid which impregnates the new precipitates contains variable proportions of substances precipitable by the action of air. We have obtained up to 0,80 per per litre, although the action of the oxygen had already precipitated a part of it. Commonly from 0.25 to 0.50 per litre will be found, which is sufficient on account of the lightness of the product and its gelatinous consistency quickly to produce an obstruction in tiles. From these I facts it results. 1. That the waters which produce the ferruginous ob- structions in tiles preserve their limpidity, and do not form any del)osit, when they are placed beyond the reach of the osygen of the air. 2. That a deposit recently formed can exert upon itself a reducing action which makes it in a great degree return to a soluble state. From these two facts, it is easy to conclude that air- traps resembling those described in speaking of calcareous deposits, will equally prevent the formation of ochreous deposits in drain-tiles. In the second case the trap, instead of preventing the dispersal of the carbonic acid, as in the first case, will prevent the entrance of the oxygen of the air. If a tittle of the gas reaches the tiles during grent droughts, or with the water of the first rains, some ricpoaits, it is true, may accidentally be formed, but they will re-act upon themselves after having absorbed the oxygen contained in the air of the tiles, they will speedily return to a soluble state, and they will be easily carried along by the movement of the water in the drains during the rainy season. It is superfluous to add that drains formed in land subject to produce these ferruginous obstructions ought to be executed with more than ordinary care. The refilling of the trenches ought, above all things to be attended to. The most argillaceous parts of the soil should be chosen to place over the tiles these should be chopped fine and c. refully rammed in the most perfect manner. The com- position which forms the basis of these ferruginous in- ci ustations in drain-tiles is found in great quantities in soils circumstanced as above described. It is equally found, but in smaller proportions, in many other soils. It, is not impossible, indeed, that it is In this particular 1 state of combination that iron introduces itself into the tissue of plants. It is very probable that ammonia may be formed during the oxydation of this substance, as it is formed when iron rusts in the damp air. The experiments hich I have in hand may, I hope, place beyond doubt this reaction so interesting for agriculture. The chemists who have spoken of the ferruginous ob- structions of drains, supposed with reason that these deposits were due to the oxydation of the salts of the protoxide of iron. It was generally thought, however, that they were formed by the precipitation of a ccrtain quantity of the carbonate of the protoxide of iron, pro- duced in the bosom of the earth by the action of the organic materials on the peroxide of iron, and held in solution in the water by nn excess of carbonic acid. The solubility of the carhonate of the peroxide of iron is in- sufficient to explain the abundance of some of these de- posits. No one, moreover had demonstrated positively the absorption of the oxygen, and no one had observed the spontaneous reduction of the deposit, which completely insures the success of the air-traps of which I have now pointed out the use to prevent the ochreous obstructions in drain-tiles. IIERVE MANGON. The draining operations in which I have been engaged have been chiefly confined to clay soils, and I have no experience of the difficulties caused here by the cal- careous or the ferruginous deposit. I have, however, seen the mischievous effects of the latter in boggy grounds drained by the Duke of Portland. The drains were constantly choked by the deposit, called by the workmen the red ochre. I have inquired of Mr. Tebbett, the head- drainer of the Duke of Portland, whether he has found any remedy for this evil-an evil of a serious magnitude, occurring as it does in drains of from 8 to 12 feet deep, the reopening of which from the surface causes a very heavy expense. Mr. Tebbett says, in answer, that the only remedy with which he is acquainted is to flush the drains with fresh water, by applying it from a shaft built at the head of the drains. He finds this ochreous deposit occurs generally in drains made in boggy land, upon sand rock, and not far from running water. When first made these drains requiring flushing every five or six weeks after a time the deposit becomes less, and a larger period may be allowed between the times of flushing. If the air- trap would correct the evil, it could in most cases be easily made, and would be a valuable improvement. J. EVELYN DENISON. -Jourizal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Express.) The past week has continued highly favourable to the growth of all cereals. The Wheat plant has progressed at a rapid rate ever since the change to warm weather and the Spring Corn which lately seemed threatened with drought has had a seasonable fall of rain, so that all apprehension for the future produce has ceased. The crop of Hay, which gave fair promise from its early growth in February and the rains of March, can hardly fail to be abundant. The Root crops, too, equally participate in the benefit, and future prospects have become hopeful and cheering. The recent decline, however, has given place to increased confidence and improved rates. Growers lia, e sent less Wheat to market and though several places announce a further reduction, the more important towns note some advance. Light foreign arrivals, and the bad condition of the bulk of the last native crop, have occa- sioned so continuous a draught on the granaries, that stocks are now comparatively low. The opinion that heavy arrivals would be speedily on their way from America on the re-opening of the navigation there, and that supplies would also come pouring in simultaneously from the Baltic, have not been justified by facts. The constant complaint from New York is "lightness of stocks." The discontent in the West at the altered rates, as well as the unpre- cedentedly liberal shipments thence and proportionately reduced stocks, seem to place it beyond a possibility to continue excessive exports. The Baltic, too, was neatly cleared out at harvest. Neither the quality or quantity of last year's crop was an average. Moreover, the last accounts from the Black Sea show prices to be tending upwards, and Egypt is greatly deficient The piobabilities, therefore, on the whole, seem more inclined to an advance than otherwise, especially should the least disabter occur. The stock of English Wheat, however, is considered fair for the time of year. The markets in the neighbouring countries of France, Belgium, and Holland have slightly declined, from the beneficial r, eather; while Spain has been favoured with plenteous showers, but free importa- tions are prolonged there up to the 1st of January, 1858. In floating cargoes the business has been as follows :— 2 cargoes of Ghirka Wheat at 61s 6d to 61s 9d, 1 of Saide at 44s, 4 parcels of Danubim Maize at 36s 3d to 40s 9d, 1 of Egyptiag at 31s 6J, 1 of Odessa (to arrive) at 35s, and three for early shipment at 31s to 34s 6d; also 4 parcels of Eastern Barley at 23.; to 27s fid per qr. The sales noted last week were 116,811 qrs. Wheat at 57s. 5d. against 126 236 qrs. in the previous season. The London averages were 698. 17d. on 3,605 qrs. The arrivals into the principal ports of Great Britain, in Wheat and Flour, for the week ending the 13th of May, were 28,181 qrs. The London Wheat trade commenced on Monday on the back of moderate supplies, there also being only a small show of samples from Kent and Essex in the course of the morning nevertheless, the prevalence of forcing weather kept millers on the reserve, though there was less of depression than during the previous week, and sales were made rather in buyers' favour. In foreign there was but a retail trade at about former quotations. On Wednesday there were 1,030 qrs. per coast, with 3,340 qrs. foreign. The sales then made were slow; but no conces- sion was made on the previous day's rates, either in English or foreign samples. On Friday, with nothing further foreign and 1,480 qrs. per coast, English factors readily cleared their stands, occasionally at better prices, there being also many buyers from the country, who had to pay decidedly more money for all foreign qualities. Foreign Flour on Monday was in a short supply, but English sufficiently abundant. The hot weather being against Norfolks as respects their keeping, sales could only be made slowly, and at less money—say, 38s to 39s per sack for American barrels. The inquiry was limited, but holders generally maintained prices. On Wednesday there were 980 sacks coastwise, exclusively. Stocks being light, there was an improved inquiry for Norfolks at rather more money, and holders of American fully maintained prices. On Friday the quantity coastwise was 1,490 sacks without any foreign. The demand being continued for Norfolks they realized 2s per sack improvement, American barrels being held for a similar advance. Of English Barley, on Monday, there was not a ship- load but foreign was plentiful. The comparatively moderate rates that obtain for grinding descriptions enabled factors to place them with more readiness; but the better qualities scarcely commanded former prices. On Wednesday there were 3,680 qrs. foreign exclusively. All sweet and heavy parcels, both for grinding and distillation, then commanded fully as much money. On Friday the total supply was 20 qrs. per coast and 5,910 qrs. foreign when all but the lightest sorts of Easter Barley were somewhat improved in sale and occasionally in value. The Malt trade was dull on Monday, but prices did not give way, and the heaviness continued throughout the week for all kinds. 0 The supply of Oats on Monday was altogether short. The warm weather rapidly improving the grass lands, as well as the corn sown, was against the establishment of a rise but factors were enabled to obtain full prices for all good sweet qualities from necessitous buyers; the low sorts, however, and those out of condition, being left to dealers ?(? l y t3o l ti so well as in the pre- who were well in stock, scarcely sola so well as in the pre- vious week. On Wednesday there were 2,640 qrs. from Ireland and 5,520 qrs. from abroad, The business then effected was fully at Monday's rates. On Friday the only additions were 50 qrs. per coast and 5,600 qrs. more foreign. The fall of rain, so favourable to the growth of the future crop, did not at all influence prices, which were supported, though the demand was slow. One steamer arrived from St. Petersburg, the Oats selling at 24s 6d per quarter. English Beans on Monday were plentiful, but not be- yond demand. Soft parcels of Kentish were occasionally quoted at rather less money, but sound hard kinds com- manded previous rates. No change was subsequently noted. There was a fair arrival of white Peas from Konigsberg on Monday, but English were again in very limited show. Some little demand having sprung up, the smallness of stocks enabled holders to realize better prices than of late but there was no large general demand, the season being late. Good white boilers have been imperceptibly in- creasing in value, parcels that were difficult to sell not long since at 38s being now worth 44s per qr. The tratle con- tinued firm up to Friday. The price of Linseed has been kept up by the very limited supplies that came to hand. On Monday the tendency was again upward, with a good demand for Cake, both fcreign and English, on full terms. The inclination remained upward at the week's elose. There would have been speculative buyers of Clovcrseed on Monday but for the smallness of stocks, on which holders are not disposed to make sacrifices, as the demand both abroad and here must be met by the growing crops, which are always critical. Canaryseed was checked in its sale by the late advances, which with good arrivals may not be sustained. Tares have found a sale for feeding, in con- sequence of the late advance on Beans, at prices equal to what they were making for seed. Hempseed, Mustard- seed, and the descriptions of seed used in confectionary, were steady in prices. Canaryseed was still drooping on Friday. The country markets for Wheat show considerable variety, with prices in an unaltered state Sleaford quoted the extreme fall of 3s to 4s per qr. Market Harborough was 2s to 3s per qr. down, and Melton Mowbray declined Is to 28 per qr. Leeds was Is per qr. lower. Louth, Barnsley, and Gainsborough were dull. Newark, with a good supply, was unaltered. Spalding, Boston, Worksop, Bristol, and Gloucester were rather dearer. Lynn and Wolverhampton improved Is per qr. Manchester and Birmingham re- covered 3s per qr. Newcastle and Norwich also quoted 2s advance. Liverpool, on Tuesday, recovered Friday's decline in Wheat, but not in Flour. Spring Corn was unaltered; but Maize found a brisk inquiry, closing at 38s 6d for finer «hite. On Friday an advance of 2d to 3d per bushel of 70lbs was established in Wheat, and occasionally more Flour being 6d per sack and barrel dearer. Beans were rather easier, but Maize again 6d per qr. dearer. The prices of spring corn have scarcely varied during the week, the tendency of Oats being upwards. Scotland notes the beneficial change in the weather, the Glasgow market being dull for foreign Wheat and Flour, but native Wheat being more scarce was 6d per boll improved no change being noted in other grain. At Edinburgh Wheat and Barley were rather in buyers' favour, but Oats and Beans favoured sellers. Ireland has received most good by the long prevalence of dry weather. Limerick and Clonmel supplies have, however, continued small, and no change was noted in prices. At Waterford there has been inereased'inquiry at improving rates. Wheat advanced 6d per brl. Flour was I Gd to Is per sack dearer. Barley was unaltered; but the Indian Corn improved 9d to Is. Similar advices come from Cork. I FOREIGN CORN TRADE. The Paris t tour market, after some dulness, has re- covcred tone, the quotations closing at 69 to 79 fr. per sack of 157 kilos. (44s to 48s OJ per English sack), the four marks having been more in demand for the current month at 75 fr. 50c. (48s 3d per English sack). In Wheat there has not been so much doing, and rates generally have closed at about Is per qr. less than a week since. Rye was in request, and comparatively scarce. Barley was much so, (hoice qualities brinying 20 fr. 50c. per 100 kilos. For Oats holders also demanded more money, which checked business. Throughout the country Wheat has s hown but a slight change iii, value, the extreme advance being nearly 2s per qr., as at Lille, and the greatest decline about Is per qr. The crops had greatly improved with the change of qr The crol)s lia(l gre, weather. A good business had been doing in ordinary Wheat at fuil prices in Bordeaux. The weather was superb at Marseilles, and arrivals short. Prices were maintained, Polish Wheat being quoted 43 fr., Egyptian 36 fr., and Africau 51 fr. 50 c., all per charge of 160 litres. The Belgian markets became languid under the influence of fine weather, but the disposition to decline has ceased. At Antwerp little was doing, but native red Wheat was quoted 52s, and white Zealand 58s 6d. Barley was firm. In Holland there has been a small decline, white Wheat being abundant at Rotterdam, was Is to Is 6d per qr. cheaper. live firm. Barley and Oats fully as dear. Maestricht was 9d per qr. lower for Wheat, and Amsterdam calm. Bremen and IIambro' were both rather easier in prices, but some business has been passing at the latter. Cologne found an active trade, at rather higher rates. Berlin notes a continuance of fine and hot weather though arrivals had improved there, prices had recovered the previous decline. The long prevalence of cold weather had somewhat affected the prospect of the Rye crop, but there were no complaints of other corn. At Danzig good sales for England had been making at rather under previous quotations. Stettin was quiet for Wheat and Barley, and rather higher for Rye. Wheat at Stockholm had been selling freely at former rates for good quality. Rye was less plentiful and firm, and Barley was advancing. Navigation at St. Petersburg was re-opened on the 12th of May, whence many vessels had sailed, and some had arrived. More business had been doing in corn, Cubanka and Saxonska Wheat having brought Õ6i 7d per qr., and Linseed 57s to 60s per qr. A strong east wind had brought down some ice, and made the water very low. From Odessa advices were received noting that good Polish and soft Ghirka Wheat had been placed at 55s previous accounts had quoted 46s to 51s, Maize 25s, Bar- ley 15s 4d to 17s 4d, and Oats 14s. Galatz was also dearer for all sorts of grain, in consequence of the receipt of advices from Genoa and Leghorn. There were slender supplies of Maize, and prices were 23s 7d to 25s 9d per qr. At Ibraila nothing could be obtained under 22s 9d; Rye, 24s 3d per qr. Barley, 14s 9d per qr. Corn was dearer at Constantinople a parcel of soft Galatz had been placed there for England at 49s 6d per qr. About 600 vessels were reported as having passed the Dardanelles in quest of freights. The Italian markets were advancing. Trieste reports an animated export inquiry for Banato Wheat, at improved rates other descriptions were held too high for business; Banato was sold at 57s to 60s 6d per qr. At Leghorn the Wheat market was well supported the scarcity of Egyptian samples there had sent prices up to 51s 6d per qr.; Ma- renne Wheat had also risen to 72s all other descriptiong had advanced, but not at an equal rate. At Genoa prices were higher, and stocks of Wheat very short in granary over 3,000 quarters had been taken for Sardinia, and Maize sold at better prices; soft Mananopoli Wheat was worth 72s Danube, 61s 9d; hard Taganrog, 77s 6d to 79s 9d. In Egypt the oppression of the holders of corn had called for the interference of Government to reduce prices, 100s per qr. having been paid in Cairo, and 65s per qr. in Alexandria for Wheat, while for export the prices had only risen 10 per cent., in consequence of inquiry from England. Saidi Wheat had been placed at 96 to 97 piasters per ardeb Beans at 78 to 80 piasters per ardeb; Barley, 59 to 60 piasters per ardeb. A few new Beans bad arrived, and been placed at 30s to 33s per qr., and Maize 23s per qr. At Taganrog stocks were arriving from the interior, and rather lower tates for Wheat accepted Berdianski, on the contrary, being in receipt of Western advices, was rising, and 43s 6d per qr. had been paid. A great and beneficial change as respects the weather has been experienced throughout Spain. At Santander accounts from the south had given a spurt to the market, which holders gladly availed themsElves of. Dutch red Wheat had brought 65s, and white Zealand 67s. Arrivals were daily announced. At Madrid prices for Wheat had been 91s to 109s per qr. From Saragossa fine weather was reported as having commenced on the 6th inst., which had produced a perfect change on the crops. At Placencia, in consequence of plentiful rains, Wheat was offering at 82s, witiiout buyers. The latest accounts from New York note a rise in Flour of 30 cents, per brl., stocks being much reduced; while the arrivals of Wheat were so light, it was 5 to 10 cents, per bush. higher Maize also improving 2 to 3 cents. per bushel. In Australia Wheat and Flour were falling. At Vic- toria some fine Adelaide Flour had sold at JE16 10 per ton. Wheat was 6s to 6s 6d per bush. Wheat at Hobart Town was 7s to 7s 6d per bush., and English Barley 8s to 9s per bushel.

MONEY-MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. FKIDAY.—The funds opened this morning at the final quotations of yesterday, but subsequently, owing to an increase in the demand for money, they experienced re- newed depression. Towards the close, hower, there was again a tendency to firmness. The first transactions in Consols were at 93a to 1. whence, in consequence of a large sale, they declined to 93J. The closing quotations were 93 i for money, and 931 to g for the 4th of June. Bank Stock left off at 212 to 214 Reduced, 92 j to f41 New Three per Cents., 921 to I; India Stock, 220 to 222; India Bonds, 2s. to 4s. discount; Exchequer-bonds, 981 to 99 and Ex- chequer-bills, June, Is. to 3s. premium March, 3s. to 6s. premium. The rate for advances on Government securities on the Stock Exchange was 6i per cent. In the discount market and at the Bank the demand was active. Foreign securities were heavy, and prices towards the close exhibited an increased tendency to depression. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the rates upon Holland were a shade higher. On Hamburg there was no alteration, but Paris ,vas a trifle lower than last post. SATUKDAY.—The funds have been steady to-day, but inanimate, at an improvement of an eighth upon the closing prices of yesterday. Early in the morning Consols for money touched 93i, and they soon advanced to 93§ to J, from which there was no alteration. For the 4th of June the last transactions were at 931 to li. Money was com- paratively abundant for loans for short periods, although there was no general alteration in the aspect of the market. The Bank returns were considered satisfactory, but the fact of a considerable withdrawal of sovereigns having taken place to-day for exportation tended to increase the prevailing dulness. Bank Stock left off at 212 to 214; Reduced, 92i to i New Three per Cents., 92i to i; Ex- chequer Bonds, 98i to 99 India Bonds, 7s. to 3s. discount; and Exchequer-bills, March, 4s. to 6s. premium; June, Is. to 3s. premium June, Is. to 3s. premium. In foreign securities there has been scarcely any move- ment, but prices showed rather more firmness towards the close. The final quotations of the French Three per Cents, on the Paris Bourse this evening were 168f. 85c. for money, and 68f. 95c. for the end of the month, showing no altera- tion. MONDAY.—The English funds have been steady to-day, notwithstanding some large speculative sales. Consols have stood at 93 to f for money a 93g' to 94 for the 4th of June. For the new account in*ulv transactions have taken place at 914 to ?. After reular' hours there was a decline of an eighth. The sales for the account were stated to be to the extent of E300,000 or X400,000, and it is supposed they were chiefly on behalf of Greek firms. The dealers, however, took them readily, and prices were at the moment uninfluenced. The effect of the announce- ment of the shipment on Saturday of 170,000 sovereigns to Brazil and elsewhere was counteracted by the largeness of the arrival this week from America. Bank Stock left off at 212 to 214; Reduced, 921 to R New Three per Cents., 92 to India Stock, 220 to 222 India Bonds, 8s. to 4s. discount; Exchequer Bonds, 981 to 99; and Exchequer- bills, June, Ii. to 3s. premium; March, 3s. to 6s. pre- mium. In the Stock-Exchange this morning there was a full supply of money at from 6 to 6j per cent., but later in the day an increased demand was observable. The discount- market was without pressure, but at the Bank the applica- tions were numerous. Foreign securities have not varied in any great degree. TUESDAY.—The funds to-day have been wholly without fluctuation. Consols for money opened at 93§ to i, and steadily remained at that price throughout the day. For the 4th of June the last transactions were at 93J to e, while for the new account, which is fixed for the 9th of July, the quotation was 944 to 41 (or 93 to ex dividend). Bank Stock left off at 212 to 214 Reduced, 921 to §; New Three per Cents., 92& to 4 India Stock, 220 to 222 Exchequer Bonds, 984 to 99; India Bonds, 9s. to 4s. discount; and Exchequer-bills, June, Is. to 3s. premium; March, 4s. to 6s. premium. In the Stock-Exchange to-day there was again a good supply of money at from 6s. to 64 per cent.; but in the discount-market and at the Bank the transactions were large at full rates. Foreign securities have not exhibited any particular feature. WEDNESDAY.—The value of the English funds has ra- ther improved this morning, and a more cheerful tone appears to prevail, principally owing to about Y,,53,000 of the bar gold brought by the Africa from New York having been sold to the Bank. It was generally supposed that this supply would all be absorbed on continental account. This being Derby day," the attendance of members in the house" was rather limited, but the settlement of the Foreign Stock and Share accounts prevented many from absenting themselves. The closing quotations of Consols were 93a to 94 for money, and 94 to J for the 4th of June. A moderate amount of business was done in the Foreign Market.

INTERESTS ON DEPOSITS IN SCOTCH BANKS. At a meeting of the Scotch Banks in Glasgow this week, the rate of interest on deposits was taken into consideration. Some difference of opinion existed in one or two points of detail with respect to special transactions, but the meeting was in favour of raising the rate on deposit accounts at once to 4 per cent., with the exception of two of the Edinburgh chartered banks. The question was adjourned for eight or ten days, with the view of arriving at an unanimous con- clusion.—Mail,

RAILWAYS. FRIDAY.—The railway market was dull, and prices expe- rienced a further decline of from 5s. to 10s. French were heavy sales, continuing again to be pressed, Business is altogether languid, owing to the general heaviness Ifi quo- tations. Banking, mining, and miscellaneous shares were weak, and in some cases exhibited a slight fall. Eastern Counties closed at Hi; Great Northern, 971: Great Wes- tern, 661 Lancashire and Yorkshire, lOO; London and North Western, 1041; London and South- Western, 98f; Midland, 8:!J j North-Western, 74 5 South-Eastern, 75; South Wales, 87; Vale of Neath, 20. SATURDAY.—The transactions in the railway-market were not numerous, but prices on the average were supported with steadiness. French and Indian showed no important alteration, although quotations in some cases were rather lower. Banking, mining, and miscellaneous securities have experienced little variation.

French and Indian exhibited heaviness, but the transactions were not important. The preparation for the settlement interfered with the ordinary progress of business, and money was in general demand. The shares of the Austra- lian banks continue heavy, but the operations in other descriptions were more numerous Mining and miscella- neous securities presented scarcely any change. WEDNESDAY.—A very limited business was reported in the railway market. Mining shares ruled very quiet. Joint stock bank and miscellaneous shares were at nominal prices.

About two months since the building coarauttee iffoito- ed to superintend the re-erection of the parish eharek at Doncaster found it necessary to make an appeal for an additional £ 10,000 to enable them to complete the edifice. The response to this appeal has been so liberal that the committee have ordered the contractors to proceed with the masonry and woodwork of the tower. REPRESENTATION OF SUNDERLAND.-The Newcastle Express saysThe petition presented to Parliament against the return of Mr. Hudson for the borough of Sunderland is on the ground that the honourable member is not qualified according to law. The friends of Mr. Walters, the late candidate, deny all participation in this movement on the part of that gentleman or his agents. The friends of Mr. Hudson are quite indignant about the affair, and consider it altogether a cowardly thing to strike a fallen man, who has been one of the greatest bene- factors to this locality and several parties have offered to raise a subscription to defray Mr. Hudson's expenses. It is said that the real cause of this movement is owing to a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Newcastle having in his possession a dishonoured bill for £1,000; and therefore he is strongly desirous of knowing Mr. Hudson's qualification, so that he may be enabled to recover that sum The Liberal party is already prepared with a candidate in the event of Mr. Hudson losing his seat." MURDER IN STAFFORDSHIRE. -On Saturday morning, at 2 o'clock, Mr. T. Charlesworth, farmer, of Bromley Hurst near Abbotts Bromley, was brutally murdered and robbed on his return home from a place where he had been enjoy- ing the evening. We learn that immediately after the intelligence became known three persons were apprehended by the county constabulary and taken before Mr. Ingram, magistrate, in the course of the day, and remanded to the hck up at Uttoxeter, until Wednesday next. Their names are Browne, Jackson, and a fellow known as Dulcimo Jack." Browne made a full confession to Inspector Crisp, which was taken down, signed by the prisoner, and shortly after handed to Colonel Hogg, chief constable of the county. Browne implicates all three prisoners, but it tirpears Jackson is the man who knocked the deceased down with a hedge stick, and when down, kicked and struck him, and then turned him over (having fallen on his face), and rifled his pockets, assisted by Browne the priso- ner Dulcimo Jack was present at a short distance, but did not strike the deeeased, or share in the plunder (a ;C5-note, some gold and silver); a portion of the property was after- wards found by the police in consequence of information received from the prisoner. Abbotts Bromley, the scene of this tragedy, is only four miles from Rugeley, rendered notorious by the Palmer murders. We are happy to add that in this case there appears to be no difficulty whatever the evidence is strong and clear. The police authorities anticipate no difficulty in bringing the case home to the prisoners, not only by the confession, but by strong corro- borative evidence. THE ATLANTIC SUBMARINE CABLE.—We learn that Mr. W. Brown, M.P., chairman of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, Mr. Brett and Mr. Pickering, directors, accom- panied by Captain Kells, have been on board the noble ship Niagara, Captain Hudson, at Gravesend, to confer and arrange with him about laying that portion of the submarine cable which is to go to the westward, to connect and bind the Old and the New World, permanently, we trust, in harmony and peace. Nothing could exceed the gentlemanly and courteous feeling with which they were received by Captain Hudson and his officers. After going through the ship, it was found, to their extreme regret, that, without ruining her, by cutting away stanchions, there was not space to make sufficiently large circular coils of the cable to secure its safe delivery into the ocean, which, in such an enterprise, is the first point to be attended to. Indeed this is not surprising, for although Sir Baldwin Walker was most anxious that the British Government should furnish suitable vessels to do their part of the enterprise, Captain Kells was three months looking over the dockyards to find one that would do. The Agamemon was at last fixed on, but she required considerable alterations. If time admitted, there can be no doubt that among the United States navy would be found a suitable vessel, and that *the Government would send her here to aid in this great international undertaking. Captain Hudson stated that his orders from the Secretary of the Navy were to do everything in his power to forward the enterprise, and that be, his officers, and crew felt a deep interest in it, and were ready to do anything that would contribute to its triumphant suocess. It was felt by all parties that these two great nations must be united in carrying out this important work, and probably the best thing that could now be done was for the Niagara to take on board the shore end of the cable, and lead the van of that part of the squadron going to the Western World, and be ready to give every necessary assistance. In this suggestion Captain Hudson most cheerfully acquiesced, saying he was ready to do anything the deputation wished to aid and assist the undertaking. The United States, desirous of conferring all the honour possible upon this country, sent one of their noblest ship, and, to a person who knows what a vessel should be, an inspection of the Niagara would be worth a voyage across the Atlantic. Everything was in the most perfect and beautiful order. She is constructed for sailing and for purposes of war, and not for carrying such a length of cable as is necessary to annihilate time and space between the two kindred nations. None but practical engineers who have been in the habit of laying down submarine cables could foresee what construction of vessel would best answer the purpose, and leave least risk in paying out the cable; a "bight" or a kink" might be fatal to the whole operations. This being I a bold enterprise, nothing must be left to chance. After the squadron has started we shlflllook forward with much in- terest for a message from Newfoundland informing us that all is right.-Live)pool Al'jion. The Siamese language is almost entirely composed of monosyllables; and words of the same letters are made to ex press very different meanings by the tone and cadence with which they are uttered. This renders the language difficult to strangers. For example, in the sentence Khai khai kai khai na khai ? ha nie khai phakhai khai," the import is, Is nobody selling eggs in the city ? the seller is ill;" but the various khai, by shortening and lengthening and intonating them according to their mean- ing, leave no doubt of the meaning in the mind of a Siamese hearer.-Sir J. Bowing.

LONDON MARKETS, MONDAY, May 2-5. MARK-LAXE.—The supply of English Wheat to this morning's market was fair, and cleared at an improvement of fully 2s. per qr. upon the prices of this day se'nnigbt. Foreign Wheat was in moderate request only, but on the sales effected a similar improvement was established. The prices asked for Baltic Wheat free on board being nearly equal to its value here, millers preferred taking their chance of arrivals, and speculators consider prices too high to follow. Barley in a fair demand, at a slight improrement upon the prices of last week. Beans and peas are firm, without alteration in value. For oats there is a good inquiry, and iu some instances an advance of 6d. per qr. is obtained. There is no alteration in the top price of town- made Flour, but Norfolk was Is. to 2s. dearer, and barrels bring an advance of Is AVERAGE PRICE OF SIX WEEKS.

SEED.—The market for agricultural seeds remain without alteration. A few parcels of white seed hare changed hands during the past week at from 50s. to 68s. Red seed being in limited quantity, holders do not submit to the low rates offered by speculative buyers. Trefoil meets no attention. Canaryseed remains without alteration. Hop.—The reports from the plantations state that the vermin is found in several districts, but the bine continues to make considerable progress. The trade during the past week has been quiet, without any particular alteration in prices. TALLOW.—Our aaarket continues steady, and prices have an upward teadeaof.

The sale for Hemp continues heavy, and prices rule in favour of buyers. Jute and Coir goods are quite as dear as last week. WOOL.-There has been a considerable amount of buai- ness in sorts made froea, at a w<»rti»a at Jet. pwlb from the highest rate by dealers, who thought it prudent to lower their stocks of wool on the njiftrranh of iJttacv clip the manufactutcrs consequently supplied their faemeiiate wants, and are new hoktiaf afi, M Arj tauflmim tbe an remunerative nature of The trade, and ftm meeesltj of stopping their unwhine., wtrteh great numbers have al- ready done to bring about a duefsvMction between the price of wool and the manufactured article. PROVISio-The demand for new Irish butter is very limited; a few best Limericks sold at 90s., and third and fourth Corks offering at 88s., 86., and 76s., but go very slowly. Foreign butter declined early in the week to 82s. and 80s. for best Dutch, but at the end the weather having become cooler, it rallied again, and closed firm at 90s. The bacon market ruled dull, and the business transacted was almost confined to parcels for immediate consumption at a decline of fnlly Is. pdr cwt. ISLINGTO-There was only a moderate show of foreign stock in to-day's market, and the demand for it ruled brisk, on higher terms. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the receipts of Beasts fresh up were small compared with Monday last, and in fair average condition. The attendance of butchers was rather numerous, and the Beef trade ruled very brisk, at an improvement in the quotations of from 4d. to 6d. per 81bs. The best Scots readily produced 5s. per 81bs., and a clearance was easily effected. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 1,600 Scots and Shorthorns fr.,m other parts of England 200 of various breeds from Scotland, 160 Scots, and from Ireland, 30 Oxen. We were but moderately supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep, 1 and the mutton trade was brisk, at an improvement in value of 4d. per Bibs. The best old Downs, out of the wool, sold at os. 4d. per 81bs. We have discontinued to quote woolled Sheep, from their scarcity. The quality of most breeds was very prime. Lambs were in short supply and active request, at an improvement in values of 8d. per Bibs., the top figure being 7s. per 81bs. We had a very brisk demand for Calves—the supply of which was limited —at 8d. to 10d. per 8lbs. advance. Pigs moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in their value.
