This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , * ° solely to the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . The Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pill ' s have now in their possession upwards of fifteen hundred letters , several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England , many from distinguished isscnting Ministers , from gentlemen connected with the Army and Navy , also from Members of Parliament , Merchants , aud last , though notleast , from members of the Medical Profession , and a skilful Analytical Chemist ; all speaking in the highest terms ofthe valueof this inestimable medicine . This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel .

Smithfield Market. There Was A Good Show...
SMITHFIELD MARKET . There was a good show of beasts in the ' market this morning , and the generality were in very Rood condition . There was also a crowded attendance of butchers , both from the metropolitan and rural districts , who were less Chary in purchasing than on Friday last . The market was , consequently , more than ordinarily brisk , and some extended bargains were effected by noon . There is si depression of 4 d . per stone in prime samples since Monday week , the prime Scots which then fetched 4 s . 4 d . per stone of 81 bs . were doue this day at 4 s ., and on the average scale the aggregate at 3 s . lid . per stone . The sheep market was on a confined scale . There was a good show of half-breds and _Leicesters out of wool , which wont off steadily at previous quotations , whilstprbne South Downs have fallen 4 d . per stone since Monday last , the same averaging 4 s . lid . . per stone . Lambs were a little on the fall since last Friday , the best samples having been
disposed of at ( is . _, 6 'd . per stone . This commodity averaged 5 s . 5 d . per stone . Calves were scarce , aud none but the very best and young meat was taken off the . hands ofthe salesmen at Os . per stone ., ; . Calves averaged 4 s . id . per stone . Pigs ruled heavily , at an average of 4 s . lOd . per stone . There was a large importation of hogs frbnr Ireland . During- the past week the importations from the continent have btou on . the _iuCreaSOj'arid Germany , - Holland , and Prussia , have furnished the London markets with no less than-450 beasts , besides a ; proportionate quantity of flock samples . There were in the hands ol three salesmen to day , for disposal , 300 of these beast ' s , as also fifteen score of sheep—the former were but ordinary Samples , but tllCy met With a sale , the majority of them , the Berlin beasts , exceeded in quality and symmetry _tllOfiU from Germany and Holland . The s heep were in very
fancondition , and met with a steady demand . Our grazing districts at home furnished the markets thus wise . The western counties and Wales sent up 460 ' beasts of various breeds in good order . The eastern counties supplied the market " with * 1 , 800 mixed cattle ; in excellent condition , Prom Scotland we received 250 long-homed aud , polled Scots , in a good state , for the market ; and from , the metropolitan districts we received . the remainder . There was a good show of . fat cows , which were partially taken up . The supply of lambs were chiefly from Hampshire , _itncl there was a steady demand fortius order of stock at a falling of about 3 d . per stone since Friday last . The market was well' supported , and a fair clearance was effected by three o ' clock in the afternoon . The number Of beasts entered for sale this day was : —Oxen and cows , 3 , 538 ; sheep and lambs , 22 , 010 ; calves , 93 ; pigs , 200 .

THE CORX MARKET . The importations of wheat from '' the northern districts in England into tne Thames has been large for the time Of year , within the last week , and from abroad also , elijenv from the Adriatic , the Black andthe Mediterranean Seas- the supplies , during the same period , have been liberal . Of the latter , the unfavourable , circumstances into which tlie ; wheat trade has been latterly placed , furnish sufficient reasons for the utter impossibility to effect the sale of a , single bushel , and the weight bf the vast quantity of bonded wheat : already in London is again very considerably thus increased ; and it must continue now to he increased weekly ; for , whether the import duly be reduced or even entirely abrogated , or be permitted to remain as it is , these foreign wheats must , during the remainder of the cornseason , continue to accumulate , and consequently , have a most injurious effect on the value of British-grown wheats , aud must be attended by . ill the
fatalcoi'socuibneas ol an actual free trade in grain * with all foreign nations . The dull state of the wheat trade at present , throughout the United Kingdom , and more _pnrticularly in London this day , it is exceedingly , difficult accurately to describe . The show of samples from the metropolitan and from the home counties , on sale this morning in Murk-lane wns liberal for the month of-May ; but the demand was limited in the extreme , ami a _inrg-e portion of this always most legitimate supply of London consumption remained unsold , not because the corn factors resisted a material decline , in prices , but because buvers could not be found on almost any terms , at the conclusion of the market this afternoon in Mark ; Lane . Since this day week the decline In the value of { the best qualities of English "Wheat is upwards of ( Js . per quarter , and , since Friday week , the depreciation in the value of inferior descriptions is little short , on the average , of 10 s . per quarter . The weather has also naturally its influence on the state of the com trade at . the present moment , for it is extremely favourable to the crops now in thc fields , which' arc at least oue month earlier than thoy were in the beginning of May , 1845 ; and the wheat plants being now stronn- at
their roots , and luxurient in their blades , nothing but unfavourable weather . till the ' harvest months arrive can prevent a wheat crop , unusually abundant in quantity , ami of vory superior quality , being'in due season gathered from the fields of tlie United Kiugtiom . Experience per . fectly teaches that a large growth of wheat at home is always sufficient for two years' consumption in this country . In this there is no theoretical assumption or mistake , for it is a fact grounded on the solid foundation of practice . Desides , a large quantity of old wheat still remains ill the possession of our yeomanry and tenant farmers , and the dogmas of the free traders in wheat with foreign nations . '' that the larger tho . competition of foreign wheats in our markets of consumption with wheat produced in this country may be , the higher must the value of the latter become , ' can certainly never double the consumption of wheaten bread in this country , which must he done this Season before the wei g ht of foreign wheats on all our markets of consumption can press up the value of liritish wheats ; on the contrary , in every probability , it will press the average price down to 40 s . per quarter , if not considerably under that figure . In thc barley trade likewise very little business has been trans _, acted since thc last market day ,

Provincial Markets. Liverpool Cattle Mar...
PROVINCIAL MARKETS . Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday . —We have had a fair supply of all kinds ofstock at market to-day for tha time of year : the whole , or nearly so , was sold at high prices . Beef 5 _Jd . to _GJd ., Mutton 7 d . to 7 | d . per lb ., sink _, ing the offal . Wakefield Cobn Mabket , _Fbiday We have to report a large supply of wheat , and fair of other grain . To . day there was a very thin attendance of millers , and the demand for wheat was limited to their immediate wants . Prices of all description of wheat must be noted Is , to 2 s , per quarter lower . Considering the advanced state of the season , fine barley met with a good inquiry at previous rates . Beans sold easily on fully as good terms . Oats and shelling each in slow request at barely former rates . Malt firm .
_Mancuesteb Corn Market , Saturday . — The trade throughout the week was generally of a . lifeless character , the transactions' in all articles have been on the most limited scale at prices mostly in favour of the buyer . With an exceedingly limited inquiry for every article of the trade at our market this morning , prices remain nominally the same as this day se ' nnight . Hull Corn "M arket , Tuesday . —The only transactions which have taken place in wheat driving the past week have been to our local millers , who were obliged to pay rather more money ; there is . not above , 200 nrs . free stuff in the port . At to-day ' s market there was a moderate supply of wheat , from the farmers , which met with buyers at Is . devqr . less money . In free foreign and bonded nothing doing . In Spring corn very little passing . Ia linseed and rapeseed no alteration . Linseed cakes infair demand at our quotations . Rape cakes are firmer . In bones a good deal of business passing . Guano un . altered .
Birmingham Cost * EXCHANGE , _WEDSESBAY . —During the present week , owing , to tho decline in London and Liverpool , induced by the improved prospects ofthe Corn Bill in Parliament and fine growing weather , we have to report a general indisposition to buy wheat ; and sales could only have been effected by submitting to a deeline of ls . lo 9 s . pel 1 quarter , to whieh holders aro unwilling to acceed . ; Malt barley nominally unaltered in value . Oats were less in _request , aud Gd . per quarter cheaper . Beans fully as dear . Liverpool Cobn Market . Mondat . —Since .. this day se ' _imi-jht we have had a good supply of Wheat , Oats , Flour , and Oatmeal from Ireland , A large quantity oi Flour is also reported from the United States , with seve . ral cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn from the same
quarter and the Mediterranean . The trade during the week has been in a languid state - the purchases of Wheat have been quite in retail , and at Friday ' s market a de . clin ' e of 2 d . to Sd . per bushel was " generally submitted to . Hour has also been difficult to move even at a reduced _, value . Few Oats have been wanted , and as the market has been pretty well supplied , the price has been _scarcely sustained ; The best mealing quality has sold at 3 s . 9 d . per 451 bs . In Oatmeal little has been done , and this article is also rather cheaper . As regards Barley , Beans , and Peas no change can be noted , the sales being quite ill retail . Indian Corn has commanded full prices , and continues in good request for Ireland . But few transactions have occurred in Grain ami Flour under lock diiring the week ; those _. _^ iowever , have been at fully last Tuesday ' s rates .
Kichmo . vd Com Maheet . J We had n largo supply of all kinds of Grain iii our market to day . The prices much the same as last week . Wheat sold from 5 s . to 9 s . ; Oats 3 s . to 4 s . Gd . ; Barley 4 s . to 4 s . Gd . ; Beans 4 s . 9 d . to 5 s . 9 d . per bushel .

STATE ; OF TRADE . Leeds . —There was a little more business done at the Cloth Halls on Saturday , but on Tuesday the market was dull . The stocks on hand arc much lower than they were in March , and prices remain firm . In tho warehouses tbere lias been a littlemore business done this week than for some weeks past ; there is also more doing in the way of preparation by the foreign houses for the fall trade to America . On the whole , the prospects are much brighter than was expected a few weeks ago . — Leeds Mereury . _BiiADvoRu . —Wool . —For combing ' wools the demand is much better . Prices are firm . There seems a disposition in the spinners to buy more freely . In the yarn market business was brisk : Stocks are very low , a ' nd the spin _, ners are generally working to order , and prices have an upward tendency . There was a good attendance of mer . oliaulB , and they wore not merely lookers ou . for a groat number of pieces _ehangod hands , and a great number- of orders were received for the autumn trade . ' The three branches of trade in Bradford market certainly exhibits a more healthy tone .
lluDTmr . _srn-i . D . —The buyers complained to-day of the want of -foods suited to the season , and _consequents- _» limited business only lias been done . There has been a , fair business doing in tlie warehouses during the week . Halifax . —There is no alteration in this market since the last report . Wool continues in better request and prices firm . _ItociiDAtE PiANSEt J _1 abk . et . —The flannel market has been decidedly worse to-day . and tho business transacted very limited . Few buyers have attended , and those few purchased-very sparingly . The wool market has been very quiet , and prices may be quoted the same as on the previous week . Heckhondwike Blanket Market . —We have' had a good attendance of buyers this week , and more business transacted , being principally for tbe home trade ; there is not much alteration in prices . Noils and shorts still continue very scarce and dear .
L _* _-iCESTER . _^ Altlioivgh there is not much more doing in the warehouses , there is a more healthy tone given to business ; and the prevailing opinion is , that the point of depression is past . Manufacturers have produced with _, caution , and _hciu-c stocks _Hrew-npavntivcl y light . A _IavS export trade has been done in fancy hosiery and gloves , though but a limited one for stockings . Yarns arc in fair demand , and spinners hiut at a rise in prices . There is more doing in wools , and prices rule if anvtliiug a shade higher .
