PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and speedy cure for those severe annoyances without the least pain or inconvenience . Unlike all other remedies for Corns , its operation is such as to render the cutting ot Corns altogether unnecessary ( indeed , we may say , that the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highly dan"croU 5 , and has been frequently attended with lamentable consequences , besides its liability to increase their Towfh ) . It adheres with the most gentle pressure , produciHg as instautand delightful relief from torture ; and with perseverance in its application , entirely eradicates the most invei ato Corns aud Bunions .

      Corn Exchange, August 17. The Arrivals O...

      CORN EXCHANGE , August 17 . The arrivals of wheat in the Thames from the Northern wheat districts in Great Britain , were again " small during the last week , for which circumstance the delay which showery and uncertain weather at the present moment occasion i « securing the remainder of the crop , furnishes a perfectly sufficient reason . By land ' carriage , the show of samples of wheat from the metropolitan and from the home counties on sale this moruins : on tho Corn y . xehtingc in Mavk-VAncwtis only moderate in its amount ' but the greater part of it being of the present vearV

      growth , the quality was unexceptionable . The town millers requiring at the present season of the year gone rally sound and sweet new wheat for mixture with the old , this supply of new wheats . was most readily purchased in the morning at an advance - of Is to " 2 s per quarter on our quotations of Monday last . For old Enjrlish wheats and for the finer qualities of foreign , howon r , no improvement cither in the value or the demand occurred in the course of this day , nor is it probable' under existing appearances in the foreign corn trade , that any mateiial alteration for the better can occur in tho wheat trade for a length of time to come ,

At our market this morning wheat was held for an advance of 2 d to 3 d per TOIbs . ; but the ; transactions : were only on'a ' limited extent , A liveVjr demand was experienced for choice qualities of fresh flour , at fully previous . rates , Norfolk whites , the produce of wheat of this year ' s growth , having readily realised 41 s 6 d , and households 36 s to 87 s per sack . Middling and inferior descriptions of sack flour , however , continuedto be neglected , and mere nominal in value ...

The imports from abroad however , are large , particularly from . thc United States and Canada , whence we have received some quantity of wheat , flour , and Indian corn . The weather up to Saturday was very unfavourable for harvest work . In the southern counties the' crops aro reported to oe all gatkered ^ in good order and condition , and the yield is well spokeh'b ' f ; but mCthe ' TMidlahd and northern counties the bulk pfthegrainisyet in the fields , and the recent bad weather must havematerially ' affeetbd both quality mid condition .

      feared , prove a most defecnyo crop ^ throughout the United Kingdom . From all quarters ' -the " account's are very , desponding . Duringthe week we have had extensive speculative transactions in wheat and flour at advancing rates , and as well we have experienced , a good . demand for loohl consumption , and for transit into the interior and coast ' wise .

      State Of Trade. Manchester.—There Is Not...

      STATE OF TRADE . Manchester . —There is not much actual change in the market since Tuesday ; but the passing of the American Tariff , andthenou arrival of the disastrous accounts gonerally expected from India , have given a somewhat more cheerful tone to business . Wo understand that most of the internal markets of India are very bare of English manufactures ; and a good many orders have been received at Calcutta * , but the excessive scarcity of money venders the nesociation of the bills very difficult , and prevents business . From the same cause , sales of produce are much Impeded . and the probability seemed to be that the merch .-mi * would he compelled to a system of barter . Ukadfokd . —Our wool market is well supplied with all kinds of combinir , and the business doing is barely an iverage , as the prices are too high to induce the spinners to buy , except ' to supply their immediate wants . There is more doing in all kinds of yarns , and a disposition to buy for future delivery : but the prices currentare so very low , that the spinners could not realise prime cost , prior to the advance which is now being given on combing wages , and there is no disposition to sell , except at higher rates . tieee , —The prospects of an earl y and abundant harvest are very cheering , and hold out great hopes for a aootl home trade for the autumn . The accounts from

      the TV est are equally satisfactory ; and thepassmg of the reduced tariff and the Bonded Duties Bill are looked upon as highly beneficial ; so that wo may expect to be busy throughout the winter . Our market has been active , and on some kinds of goods an advance has been given . NornxanAAi . —The market has this week been very quiet , especially in the plain department . In fancies more has been doing , really good patterns finding a ready sale both for home and foreign consumption . Leicester . —The hosiers are fully engaged in producing goods for the autumn trade , and a good amount of business is doing in the warehouses , The glove and fancy branches are well employed . There is nonltcration in either yarns or wools . Tegg sorts obtain the shade of advance noticed in our last . Halifax . —YVe have no alteration to notice in the piece and yarn trades since our hist . The demand fur wool is rather increasing , and prices are extremely firm , with favourable prospects for the future .

      Rochdale . —There is still a very limited quantity of business transacted , at prices much the same as those of last week . The wool market continues inactive , and prices nearly stationary . IIuddersfield . —There has been a good attendance of merchants and other buyers at our market , and all kinds of seasonable fancy goods , oven including resting * , hare gone off freely , ami on slight improving rates . The demand for broad and plain woollens continue steady , and a full average business has been effected . Woollen yarns for Scotland and for cxportationi continue brisk , and several factories engaged in their manufacture are running night and day . Wools , both British and foreign arein fair request , and prices are steady .

      New Ute, And Trosn Energies Appear To En...

      new ute , and trosn energies appear to enter tne human frame at the prospect of returnin g summer , we know of no greater drawback to our enjoyment than tho customary return of those seasonable afiiictions , Corns and Bunions . Few , indeed , there are , who have not been at some time , sufferers hy those tormenting evils : We do know , however , that the number is much less than formerly , owing to the ustouifihing cures effected by the extended use of " Pa ill ' s Every Man ' s Friend : " and our present object is to point out to those unacquainted with the good results of tlii » application , that by its use they will certainly acquire not only ease to their feet , but from

      personal experience nt its undoubted cAiuucy , they will d . rive as perfect and as permanent a cure as though no such disorder bad over troubled them . The remedy is simple , nml consists merely of a plaistor , and renewed as occasion may require , and but few are necessary to rid the victim ot all his pains . They may be obtained of any respectable Chemist or Medicine ' Vender in the kingdom * , and at so reasonable a price that that tho poorest person has it in his power to shako off this painful and increashnr growth . The plaister is sold in boxes , at Is . l $ d . each ' : or in largo boxes , containing three small ones for 2 s . !> d . Be sure to ask for " Paul ' s Evany Man ' s Fuiend , " which is prlnte'l on the Government Stamp .

      The mortality ot I . undnu , ami indeed , of England generally , shows a gradual annual increase , whilst it is well known that the population increases considerably . The rates of premium for Life Insurance havobcengeatly reduced during- the last few y-e . -n-s , yet the offices continue as prosperous as formerly . These facts clearly demonstrate that some cause , cither unknown or unheeded , must have produced such favorable results . Amongst these causes , the increased knowledge of anatomy and the many very valuable discoveries in medicine will stand most prominent . The small-pox , that annually carried off thousands , has been successfully combatted by vaccination ; a : ul Gout , that used to claim its numerous victims , has been thoroughly vanquished by Blairs Gout and Rheumatic Pills .

      Asthma , Shoutness of Breath , Coughs and Colds . — " A truly surprising case . " -The Rev . David Williams , the resident Wesley « n minister at Beaumaris , in the island of Angltsen , sUtos , in a letter unteutheUth of January , lSi "> , that he "recommended 'llollownyjs Pills' to a poor man of the name of Hugh Davis , who at the time was almost unable to walk for want of breath , that ho had only taken them a few days when he appeared quite another man ; his breath was easv and natural , anil he was increasing daily in strength . " These wonderful Pills cure any cough , cold or asthma .

      James Augustus Seymour . 40 , was indicted for a misdemeattour , \ ln haying unlawfully eaused the registry of a falsVentryof abirth . ; ^ ' ^^ v . - '_? . ; - . - - '¦'" . Mr ; Doane conducted the proiecution . - Mr . Hamblln , the " registrar of births ,. deaths , and marriages for St . Luke ' s , deposecl . that on ' the 12 th of-May defendant-came to his office , ' and said he wished to register the birth of a child , and witness athis dictation filled up thoifegister . J . He described himself as the father , and described the mother as-Amy | Seymour , formerly'Amy Wallen .:. ' The ' , witness said that ' the prisoner did not say . tha % hey-. vf ere married , but he inferred that they were so from iti ? ; . descHptida ^& ' e ; p ^ aner gaye of the mother of v'ihVbhadi ^ tVv ""?( . ~ cii .: * : '¦' * '• .. - . ¦ - ;; TheJ'prisonerrcrosBrejcamined the witness nt some Uength as to ' his identity , but"he persisted in declaring tkat . he waa Ihe ' mkn who had cb'Wt & Ms office and had caused him fo ' make the entry . .-.

      ¦• :- Amy Wis . Ueudepos » d that she had Veen living with the prisoner as his \ rife , but ; they ; were hot ^ married . . She was delivered of a ehiid , of wh | ch ' the prisohrrwas / the father , tn"theheghiningof May . 'Taudshe remembered the prisoner going away on th"S . 12 th , ; saying that he should iget > he hirth ~ regUtei % d .. Xs ^ to ith ' e ^^ register as thffpnsonertihandwritih g . ' " '"¦ ' ,. ; fi , - " y ¦• : ; The p rjsoner ;/ crbss ; exarnihed ¦ leh ' gth , '' : 6 ut . upbh ' matter 8 to & liy ' irrelevaht ' , the ohij- ' - object apparently being to defame her character and that of her family . The Recorder repeatedly interposed , and told him that he would not do himself any g » od by such a course of examination , and that he ought to confine himself to thereal question at issue , viz . whetheror not he had caused the false entry to be made ? In answer to a question from the Court , the witness said , that for the last nine months she had lived with the prisoner , she went by the name of Amy Seymour , and was looked upon , b y their landlord , and every one who knew them , as the prisoner ' s wife ,

      Tho prisoner , who had conducted himself with great effrontery during the trial , declared that the whole pro ccedhig was a conspiracy by the girl ' s relations to get Vnm transported . The Recorder , at the close of the case for the prosecution , said , there appeared to him to he this difficulty , that although theprisoner had made a statement tending to a f . ilse inference that the parties were married , and that the child was legitimate , yet , in point of fact , he had not made any actual false statement . Mr . Doane admitted that this was so , but ho said the effect of such a proceeding was entirely to defeat the intention of the act of Parliament . The Recorder said , that the mischief which it was the intention of the act to prevent was certainly effected ; but under tho particular circumstances he should like to have the opinion of the judge upon thepoint .

      The jury ultimately returned a verdict of Guilty , but under the direction of bis Lordship they appended to their verdict the statement that the woman was known by the name described on the register , and that in point of fact no actually false representation had been made b y the prissner . c John Weeks surrendered to answer an indictment ( . barging him with embezzling three several sums , of 4 s ., s ,, and 6 s ., the moneys of Nathaniel Pegg , his master , Mr . Bullantine and Mr . Charnock prosecuted ; and Mr . Clarkson and Mr . Parry defended the prisoner . From the evidence adduced it appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr . Pegg , a coal merchant , carrying on business at Pliccuix-wharf , Southwark , fur 12 years as collecting clerk , and his duty was to receive moneys due to the prosecutor , and to account for the sums received at the end of each week ; and it was alleged that he had received thwfe payments from a

      person named Watts , and on these occasions he had embezzled the sums mentioned in the indictment . Upon the cross-examination of Mr . Pegg , however , he admitted that lie allowed one of his clerks the privilege of sellln / f coals to his friends or private customers at an advance of 5 s . per ton upon the price of the coals in the pool , and although he denied ever having accorded such a privilege to the prisoner , it appeared that the sums he was charged with embezzling made up exactly the amount that he would have been entitled to retain for himself , supposing such an arrangement to have existed , and which on the part of the prisoner w « s alleged actually to have been the ease . It likewise appeared that the ehnvga hud not boon made hy the prosecutor until after the prisoner had left his service and gone into that of another coal merchant named Wright , who had set up in the coal trade near Mr . Pegg ' s wharf , and he admitted that the prisonerhad taken a great many of ? his customers away .

      Mr . Clarkson made a very able address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner , and called a number of highly respectable witnesses , all of whom gave him an excellent character . The Recorder summed up the case , and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty . The prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment preferred by the same prosecutor , charging him with larceny ; but after one or two witnesses had been examined , Mr . l > allantinc expressed an opinion that he did not expect the jury would convict tho prisoner upon the evidence that he was in a position to otlVr , and he therefore withdrew from the prosecution . A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly recorded .

Fire at the GRBKNWicK ; RAaTVAT .--On ; Monday evening , between the hours of nine and ieri , tliestores belonging to Mr . Joseph Horrodine , occupying No . 113 arch of the Greenwich Railway , from some cause unknown , took fire . The stock-in-trade consisted of a large quantity of linen , woollen , and cotton rags ,

      the general collection of a marine store dealer . The flames shot up high above the railway , on either side , and forsometimecausedconsiderablealarm . Owing to the great distance of the place from the main street , a considerable time elapsed before a sufficient supply of water could be obtained to work theen * gines .. At length , however , by uniting the hose , the power of two engines was brought to bear upon the flames , but owing to the strong hold they had previously obtained , the whole length of the arch , nearly forty feet by . twenty , was completely red with heat . By great exertions the firemen got the mastery over the flames , bwt before that was accomplished , a very considerable quantity of the stock-intrade was totally destroyed , The trains were running as usual at ten o'clock . - "

" The engines were set in motion by the stoker ,

      and before the wheels had completely a revolution , an obstacle to the way of the boat was felt by all on board , and several asserted that they heard a shriek . Thf dreadful fact that the engineer was in the paddle-box then flashed upon the crew , and the boat was stopped instantly . Upon looking into the pasldle-boxa horrible sight presented itself ; there was no sign of the engine-driver , but that he had been instantaneously hilled there could not be any doubt , as the top and sides of the paddle-box were splashed all over with his brains ; the body had afterwards dropped between the floats into " the river ,

      from whence it has hot been recovered : Chakob of r » FANTrciDK . — -Alleged Rape . —On Tuesday an inquest , which had been adjourned from Friday last , was resumed and concluded by Mr . Y 7 .

      Death of a Frmalb from "V iolext Treatment of her IIusbasd . —On Tuesday T . Wakley , Esq ., the Coroner resumed an inquiry at the Crown and Anchor , King-street , into the circumstances attending the death of Mary Williams , which was alleged to have been caused by the ill-treatment of her hus « band . The husband , whose name is Jeremiah Williams , was present during the inquiry , attended by a professional gentleman . From the ' evidence of the various witnesses it appeared that on Thursday evening last the deceased , a very violent and intemperate woman and her husband quarrelled about some money . She had been on the drink four or five day ? , and he would not jjive herany more money . She took a knife and threatened to stab him ; the knife ,

      however , was taken away from her , and she struck him several times in the face and on the head . He put her out of the room , and about eleven o ' clock at night he pulled her out of bed for throwing a candlestick at his head , and threw her against the bedstead and kicked her , but as there was no light in the room tho witnesses ( two young women , who slept in the same room ) could not see whereabouts . On Friday morning she was very ill . She complained of great pain and tenderness of the abdomen . Fomentations and leeches were ordered , but shortly after she died . A post mortem examination was made by Mr . Bennett .

      who stated death to be the result of inflammation of the inner lining or membrane ol the stomach ; and who deposed to various brnises on the bodv , particularly one over the small ribs , on the right side , just over the liver , and beneath which the inflammation was greatest . He could not , however , undertake to say whether the inflammation arose , or was merely aggravated by the kick . The Coroner summed ud the evidence and the Jury retired , and at the end of ' half an hour returned a verdict of Manslaucliter against the husband , Jeremiah Williams ; but that it was done under grpat provocation . The accused was then committed to prison for trial .

      the George public-house , in Gravel-lane , the robbers suddenly foiled tlicni to the ground . In the meantime they robbed them of a very valuable gold watch with a rich chain and its appendages , together with a silver-mounted cane , and then made off , leaving the gentlemen lying on the ground insensible . Several persons ran out of the publie-house opposite , but the villains had effected their escape . They were pursued , but in vain , and a policeman was met shortl y afterwards , and report left at the stationhouse , but neither theruthaiis nor the property have yet been discovered .
