      AAOTHER CURE OF RUPTURED BLOOD VESSEL OF THE LUNGS , AND COUGH . Extract of a Letter from Henry Ihmtleg , Esq ., 12 , Albany-Terrace , Old TKertonRoad . Exeter . March 80 , 1815 . Gestlemek , —I ruptured a blood vessel of the lungs about three months since , which being partially recovered from , ainosttroublesomecoughsucceeded . I tried every thing that my surgeon , friends , and self could think of , without alleviation . It was at length suggested that your Wafers might be useful . I tried them , and a single Wafer taken when a fit of coughing was about to commence , never once failed of giving it a complete and instantaneous check . A lady also , a friend of mine ( and who , by-the-b ye , is inherCCth year ) , is , or rather was , troubled ivitha hard distressing cough . She used them , and wonderful was the relief she experienced , ic . ( Signed ) Hesbt Hestlet . nefoUowing particulars of RAPID CURE of ASTHMA of FOURTEEN YEARS S TAXDLXG , are from ifr . J . E . SIGXELL , Hob / head Road , Wedneibury , and addretsed to Mr . Zedbury , Surgeon there : — September Cth , lS 45 . So , —When I had the first box of Dr . Locock ' s Wafers from you , I was labouring under one of those attack of asthma , to which I have been subject now , for about fourteen years . I have had the best mediral advice the neighbourhood could afford , including two physicans at Birmingham , and one in Wolverhampton , but with no success . My breathing was so very difficult that I expected every inspiration to be my last ; as for sleep , that was impossible , and had been so for several weeks . The first dose ( only two smah . Wafers , ) gave me great relief—the second more so , —in short , the first box laid the ground-work for the cure , which only four boxe ? ¦ hare effected , and I am now cmite well . —I remain Sir , your most obliged , G .

      Loxdon Con . v Exchange , Monday : , Dec . 29 . — The past week ' s arrivals of wheat of home produce , coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample , have been unusually Bmall , and ol" very middling quality . Of other kinds of English grain , including flour , the receipts were on a full average scale . The imports of foreign wheat and flour were seasonably good , while the fresh supply of Irish oats was , on the whole , extensive . Fresh up to-day very little English wheat came to hand , either from Essex , Kent , or Cambridgeshire ; consequently the stands were scantily supplied with samples of that description of produce . The . attendance of both London and country dealers , mo 3 t of whom were very short of stock , being large , the bf st parcels of English wheat , both red and white , commanded a steady sale at an advance in the

      currencies obtained on this day se ' nnight of from Is . to 2 s . per quarter , and at which a good clearance of such sorts was effected . In the middling and inferior kinds of English wheat , which formed the bulk of the supply , a full average amount of business was doing , at very full prices . The show of free foreign wheat samples was by no means large . Forselected parcels the demand ruled steady at extreme figures ; but other descriptions commanded very little attention . The speculative demand for all kinds of grain under lock was unimportant ; yet the importers were firm , and , in some instances , owing to the advance in the value of English , would not sell their wheats , except at higher rates , say of Is . per quarter . We had rather an extensive supply of English barley on show . Very little of it was , however , fit for malting

      purposes . Selected parcels , therefore , commanded a ready sale , at full prices . In other kinds exceedingly little was doing , and a clearance of such was not effected . Superfine season-made malt moved off freely , and prices were well supported , while all other kinds were quite as dear . Notwithstanding the large arrival of oats from Ireland last week , the quantity oi that article here to-day was not to say extensive . Tina circumstance must be attributed to a large portion of the supply having been landed in granary ; the holders preferring holding forward rather than submitting to present prices . The oat trade must be considered firm , at very full prices . The supply of beans was moderately good . All descriptions moved off Blowly at late prices . In peas a goad business was doing , yet no aavan . ee in value was noticed . The Hour trade was steady at full prices . CURRENT PRICES OF GRAIN , FLOHR , AND SEED IN MARK-LANE . BBITISH OBAIH .

      London Smuhfield Cattmj Market , Mohbay , Dkc . 29 . —For the time of year the importation * of lire stock into L ondon , during the past week , have been extensive , viz ., 52 oxen , 45 cows , 630 sheep , and 39 pigs , by the Giraffe and Ocean steamers , front Rotterdam .

To-day we had an offer o £ 45 foreign beasts and 200 sheep , in , generally speaking , middling condition . The former were speedily disposed of at from £ 14 10 s . to £ 21 , the latter 32 s . to 44 s . per head . From our own grazing districts the arrival * of beasts fresh up to this morning's market were very limited , and of inferior quality , owing to which , and the increased attendance of both town and countrv buvers . the beef trade was steady , at , in .

The supply of sheep was unusually small ; hence the mutton trade ruled active , and the quotations improved 2 d . per 81 bs ., the primest old Downs selling readily at 5 s . 2 d . per Sibs . The general quality of the sheep was good . There were very few calves on offer ; yet the veaL trade was by no means active , though prices were well supported .

There isa little more business passing in wheat , and . in some instances an advance ot Is , per quarter is obtained . Fine barley sells freely at former prices , common sorts in slow request . Beans of all descriptioas fully as dear . Oats and shelling each maintain the prices of Friday last . Malt , in fair request , without alteration in value .

      Manchester Cors Market , Saturday , Dec . 27 . —In the early part of the week the trade assumed a more confident tone , which was further increased by the improvement noted in Mark-lane , and in flour a fair extent of business was done with consumers , whose stocks are light , at prices which were not previously obtainable . Oats and oatmeal were slow sate , and the latter article rather easier to buy . There was not a numerous attendance at our market thi 3 morning , and only a moderate amount of business was transacted in wheat , at improving prices . A steady demand was experienced for flour , at 40 s . to 42 s . per 2801 bs . for British , and 33 s . to 33 s . for Canadian . There was not much inquiry for oats , but no alteration in value can be noted . Oatmeal was in very limited request , and barley supported the currency of this day week .

      Birmingham Cons Market , Wednesday . —This week we have a good demand for wheat , at an improvement on all descriptions of Is . to 2 s . per quarter ; farmers' samples of fair quality realised 6 s . 8 d . per 02 lbs . There is more doing in barley , but no advance can be obtained . Oats are pressed for sale at a further decline of Cd . to Is . per quarter , without finding buyers to any extent . In beans and pea 3 nothing doing worth notice . As usual , 'when held out of course , the attendance was small at our market to-day , and the supply of wheat being short , an advance of 2 s . to 3 s . per quarter was readily obtained on all descriptions of English . Rarley firm , but no dearer . Oats met a slow sale at the above noted reduction . In beans no alteration , except damp new , which wero sold very low . No transactions in peas nported .

Barley was in fair supply , but sales were diflicult to eftect at Is . to 2 s per quarter decline on all but the finest samples , which nearly maintained last week ' s rates . Malt is slow sale at Is . per quarter reduction . There was a very large supply of oats , which sold slowly at Is . per quarter decline . Beans and peas were also 2 s per quarter lower . Flour is 2 s . per sack cheaper . Hull Corn- Market , Tuesday—We baveasain to

      report a dull week in the corn trade ; there has been no demand whatever for either free foreign oc bonded . I his has been very much caused by the uncertain state of political matters . The return of Sir Robert Peel to office , and a probable early settlement ot the Corn Law question , is not unlikely to restore conhdenco . At to day ' s market there is a fair supply of old and new wheat ; the farmers are asking mere money than the millers are inclined to give , consequently the business passing is by no means large , at a shade more money than last week . In spring corn nothing doing ; several samples of oats showing . Linseed and linseed cakes , as well as rape seed and rape cakes , are very dull . Guano and bones neglected .
