Thisisa ' massofevidence iaits favour beyond all parallel . The extra « vdi » avy properties of this medicine are thus described by an eminent physician , who says , " After particularobservation of the action of Parr's Pills , I am determined , in tuy opinion , that the following are their : true properties J—« First—They increase the strength , whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system . Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twentyfour hours , and instead of having weakened , they will be found to have revived the animal spirits , and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body . " Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the 1 disease . Afteryouhave taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect ; the disease upon you will become 1 less and less by every dose you take , aud if you persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day , your disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system , after them fair trial

      Newcastle Cons Market, Tuesday.—We Had A...

      Newcastle Cons Market , Tuesday . —We had a good supply of wheat at market to-day , both from the growers and coastwise , but the attendance of buyers being rather small , no advance in price could be obtained , and a moderate extent of business was transacted in all descriptions of quality , at hist Saturday ' s rates . Barley met a very limited demand , and w ? . a looking lower , as our maltsters , generally speaking , have large stocks on hand . The inquiry for malt was entirely confined to the choicest samplos . Rye sold slowly at our last quotations . In beans and peas there was not much passing . Oats remained without alteration in value .

      London Conx Exchange , Monday , Feb . 9 . —The announcement of the failure of a large maltster at Ware , in Hertfordshire , whose liabilities on this market are upwards of £ 12 , 000 , cast a gloom over the proceedings here , especially as it is known that the government is indebted in a large sum for duties . During the last wcok , up to Saturday orening , the arrivals of English wheat were , comparatively speaking , somewhat on the increase , yet they were by no means seasonably large . Of English barley and malt the receipts were very extensive ; those of all other grain , of home produce , moderate . Of Irish oats the arrivals were small ; but from abroad upwards of 13 , 000 quarters , ou which it is probable the duty will be paid , came to hand . The fresh supply of foreign wheat aud flour has been good ; but , under present circumstances , it has been landed in bond . From Essex a fair average quantity of wheat came to hand to-day , coastwise as well as by land carriage . and sample , but that from Kent , Cambridgeshire , dsc , was small . Although the attendance of buyers was

      rather larger , the demand for that article was not to say brisk ; nevertheless , the finest qualities of both red and white moved off steadily at very full prices . In other kinds but few sales were effected at last Monday's quotations , yet a fair clearance was effected prior to the close of the market . The show of free foreign wheat was small , yet the demand for that article was somewhat inactive , at unaltered currencies . Holders of foreign wheat under lock were asking most extravagant prices . This , of course , checked the inquiry , and so little was doing that the currencies were almost nominal . The supply of barley was very extensive , owing to which the sale for it was in a depressed state , and in some instances the factors were compelled to submit to a further reduction in prices of Is . per quarter . The show of matt being good , and the buyers operating with great caution , tiie malt trade was dull , and prices had a downward tendency . In oits very little was doing , at barely , but at nothing quotable beneath , last week ' s currencies . Beans , peas , ai . d flour dull , but not cheaner .

      Loxnox Smithfieju ) Caulk Maijkkt , I' £ B . 9 .- » Since Monday last the imports of live stock from the continent for our market have been on a very liberal scale , the time of year considered , viz ., 140 oxen and cows , and 2 calves , from Rotterdam ; 200 cows , 40 oxen , and 300 sheep from Harlingen , together wit & 20 oxen from Hamburg . The whole ot the above supplies have been received from steamers in excellent condition . At the outports the receipts , arising from the comparatively high prices ruling hero , have been unimportant . To-day we bat [ on offer 2 * 0 bcasta and 310 sheep from Holland , with which the trade was in a sluggish state , and previous quotations were not supported . From our grazing districts the ar rivals of beasts fresh up this morning were on the

      increase , and of very superior quality , especially as relates to the Hereford * , Devons , Scots , and homebreds . Notwithstandin g the attendance of both towa and country buyers was tolerably numerous , and the weather more favourable for slaughtering , the beef trade was in a very sluggish state , at a decline in the currencies obtained on this da ^ : se'nnight of 2 d . pet 8 lbs ., the very highest figure lor the best Scots not exceeding 4 s . 4 d . per 8 lbi ., andlat which a clearance was with difficulty effected . Ipehullock droves from Norfolk , Suffolk , 'Essex , arijfrpMb ' ridgcshire were composed of 600 Scots and- 'horaebreds . From the northern counties we received oOft ^ horthorns , from : the western and midland districts-COO Hercfords , Dovons . runts . & o .. from the other parts of England

      400 of various breeds , from Scotland . 60 Scots , and from Ireland 70 beasts . The remainder of the supply was derived from abroad and-the neighbourhood of the metropolis . The numbers of sheep were agam unusually limited , the deficiency in them , compared with those exhibited at the corresponding market-day in 184-5 , being about 16 , 000 head ; hence the mutton trade was again brisk , and last Monday ' s advanced prices were firmly supported . The be ' st Old Downs readily produced 5 s . 6 d . per 8 lbs . In many quarters allusion has been made to the extremely high prices at whieh sheep have been selling here for some time past , hut the cause of the present range of currencies is easily explained . Our readers will recollect that during the greater portion of 1844 ( owing to the

      scarcity of keep in our larger agricultural districts , the result of an unusually dry summer ) , the graziers were compelled to send forward theivsneen , and dispose of them at almost ' any sacrificeVjpijc , great fosses thus sustained at that period prevented many of the large flock masters from purchasing adequate supplies of lean stock for the then forthcoming eeason . la addition to these circumstances , the epidemic carried off immense numbers of sheep . The consequence has been that in many parts of the country there is an absolute scarcity of that description of stock , and to exemplify our remarks we may observe that oa many farms it is impossible for the stock to consume the large quantities of turnips and other pabulam

      produced last year ; hence , m those districts where , sheep are in moderate abundance , the graziers , caa scarcely [ afford to dispose of their stock , whatever may be the prices here . This , then , is the principal cause of the present enhanced rates , and which will probably be maintained for some time hence . la order further to strengthen our observations , we beg to observe that during last year there were exhibited here nearly three hundred sheep less than m 1844 . The iew prime lambs on sale this morning sold readily at 7 s . per Slbs . Calves , the numbers of which were small , moved off steadily at full prices . The pork trade was very steady , at last week ' s quotations . The supply of pigs was moderate .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Feb . 7 . —> The trade during the week has been of a more animated character than we had it in our power to notice for some time past , and a fair extent of business has been transacted in flour , chiefly , however , in approved marks of choice quality , without material variation from the previous currency . Oats and oatmeal have likewise met a steady sale ; the former at a . slight decline in price , but the latter at fully late rates . At our market this morning the demand for wheat was on a very limited scale , without alteration in the prices of this day se ' nnight . The best descriptions of flour continued to meet a tolerably good sale at our late currency , but inferior and unknown brands were neglected . Oats were in moderate request at a reduction of id . per 45 lbs . Oatmeal of choice quality , on the contrary , fully maintained its previous value .

      Liverpool Conx Mabkbt , Monday , Feb . 9 . —This week we have moderate supplies of British grain , flour , and oatmeal , and wo have again a liberal quantity of flour from the United States . The trade 1 ms remained in a very inactive state , with prices generally tending downwards . The transactions in free wheat have almost entirely consisted of retail purchases by the local millersand dealers , who have been able to supply themselves at prices the turn in their favour . Free flour has met a moderate sale at 6 d . per barrel decline . For oats there has been little inquiry , and the best runs of Irish mealing have been sold at 3 s . Sd . to 3 s . 9

      all descriptions have been offered on lower terms . Beans and peas have gone oft' in retail at previous rates . Two or three parcels of wheat , in bond , have changed hands during the week , but at little or nodifference from the late quotations . A few hundred barrels of New Orleans partially sour flour have been sold at 25 s . per barrel , but no sates are reported in the best quality of United Slates , which is held at 28 s . to 28 s . 6 d . per barrel . Birmingham Corn Exchange , Wednesday . — Dnriii" the present week there has been a tree sale of wheat ? at an improvement of Is . per quarter , dry new red having realised 7 s . 2 d . per 02 lbs .

      barley continues much deprcsssd , as the supply exceeds tho demand ; for < iry grinding tlio inquiry lias increased . Oats firm , aud rattier tending upwards . Beans unaltered in value , with more doing . JIcll Cons Market , Tuesday . —We had a fair show of wheat from the farmers , but the great portion in only very poor condition ; such was almost unsaleable ; while dry new and old obtained abom Is move money , Factors' sales were most limited iuul bonded quite neglected . Spring corn , "encrallv quite as dear . With mild weather , linseed cakes are easier to buy . AH articles of manure are in very light demand . '
