ABERNETHT'S PILE _OINTAIENT . * WHAT a painful and noxious "Disease is the TILES , and comparatively how few of tbe afflicted bave been permanently _< ured by ordinary appeals to medical _ilulL ThiB , no doubt , arises from the us * of powerful aperients toe frequently administered by the profession ; indeed , » trong internal medicine 6 hould always be avoided in all-cases of this complaint . The Proprietor of the above Ointment , after years of acute suffering , placed himself UUderUie t reatment of that eminent _surgfeon , Mr . Abernethy , —was by him restored to perfect health , and has enjoyed it ever since without the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen years , during whieh
time the same Abernethian prescription has been the means of heslinjr a . vast number of desperate cases , both in and out _^ f the Proprietor's cirele of friends , most of which cases had been under medical care , and some of them fo * a considerable time . AEEttNF . _TUY'S PILE OINTMENT was introduced to the public by the desire of many who had twen perfectly healed by ite application ; and since its introduction , the fame of this Ointment has spread far and wide ; even the Medical Pro . _fession , always slow and unwilling te acknowledge the virtues of any medicine not prepared by themselves , do now freely and frankly admit that ABERNETHY'S PILE OlSTUEST is not only a valuable pre
never-failing remedy in every stage and variety of tliat appalling malady . Sufferers will not repent giving the _OIKTMENT a trial .

CORNS AND BUNIONS . PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND . Patronised by the Royal Family , Nobility , & c . PAUL'S EFERY 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 of Corns altogether unnecessary ( indeed , we may say , that the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highlydangerous , and . has been frequently attended with lamentable cousequonces , besides its liability to increase their growth ) . It adheres with the most gentle _prct-sure , produciHg an iustantand delightful relief from torture ; and , with perseverance i" its application , entirely eradi . cnt * s the most _iiiverata Corns and Bunions .

Corn Exchange, Aogcst 17. The Arrivals O...
CORN EXCHANGE , Aogcst 17 . The arrivals of wheat in the Thames from tlio 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 moinciit occasion ia securing the remainder of the crop , furnishes n perfectly sufficient reason . By land carriage , the show of samples of wheat from thc metropolitan and from the home counties on sale this morning on the Corn "Exchange in Mark-lane was only moderate in its amount : but the greater part of it being of the pro .= ont year ' s
growth , the quality was unexceptionable The town millcrg requiring at the present season of thc year generally 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 English wheats and lor the finer qualities of foreign , however , no improvement either 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 material alteration for the butter can occur ill the ivhe . lt trade for a length of time to come .

_« ' :-. * T v PROVINCIAL MARKETS . _jianchestkb Coiin MAHKKT .-At our _^ _arkeSthismor _.-ing wheat was held for an advance of 2 d to 3 d per 70 lbs . ; hut the transactions were only on a limited extent A livelv demand was experienced for choice qualities of \ resh aZ _* at fully previous rates , Norfolk whites , the produce of wheat of this year ' s growth , having readily realised 41 s 6 d , and households 30 s to 3 < s per sack . Middling and inferior descriptions of sack flour , nowarer , continued to be neglected , and mere nominal in value . A moderate-business occ urred m Canadian _^ ami uniteu States , at on improvement of Gd to Is per barrel . Oats and oatmeal excited but little attention , and _mustbo noted the turn . cheaper .
. Warrington Corn Mabket . —The day being very fine for . the harvest there wero not many farmers nt the market , and not much wheat was shown . Prices were nominally the same ns last week : —Red , 8 s 8 d to " 6 s white ,. Us to Gs Gd per "bushel of 70 lbs , No new whent or oats oft ' ering . Flour , superfine . 3 Gs ; best seconds , 32 s ; common , 30 s . Meal , old , 33 s to 34 s per load cf 240 lbs . Of potatoes thoro was a modorate supply , but a dull sale , at Is Gd per load cheaper . Radicals , Gs to Gs Gd and 7 s per load of 255 lbs . Hum . Cork Makkbt . —At to-day ' s market we had a thin attendance of farmers and consequently a short supply of wheat . We quote prices the same as last week . Several samples of wheat were 6 hown , quality very fine and weights great , In free foreign notning'doing . Spring
corn same as last week . Linseed and _Linsceed cakes without material alteration . Rather more doing in rapeseed ; the _mavketis bare of rape cakes-but no great in . quiry for the article . We do not alter our quotations for bones and guano , the business passing in either article being limited . - Birmingham Com * Exchange . —During the present week sales have been made both of English and Foreign wheat , at an advance of 2 s to 3 s per quarter . ITo alteration to notice in the value of any . other description of grain . ' Richmond ( YonKSHiBE ) Corn Mabkkt . —We only hnd n thin supply of grain in onr market to-day ; there were some very fine samples of new wheat , which h , id a ready sale—Wheat sold from 4 s to 8 s ; new ditto , Gs " Sd to 8 s ' oats , 8 s to 4 s ; new ditto , Ss to 3 s Gd ; barley , 4 s to 4 s 3 d ; beans , 4 s 6 d to 5 s per bushel .
Liverpool Corn Mabket . —The week ' s receipt of grain , _& c , coastwise and from Ireland are again of small amount . The Imports from abroad however , are large , particularly from the United States and Canada , whence we have _roL-eivcdsomequantity of wheat , Sour , and Indian com . The weather up to Saturday was very unfavourable for harvest work . In the southern counties the crops are reported to Dealt gathered , in good order and condition , and the yield is well spoken of ; but in the "Midland and northern counties the bulk ofthe grain is yet in the fields , and the recent bad weather must have materially affected both quality and condition . 'The potato is now universally acknowledged to be extensively diseased , and will , it is feared , prove a most defective crop throughout the United Kingdom . Prom all quarters the accounts are very desponding . During the week we have had extensive
speculative transactions in wheat and flour at advnneing rates , and as well we have experienced a good demand for local consumption , and for transit into the interior and coastwise . The business has been chiefly in American produce and manufactures . Some pure white wheat has brought 1 b lOd to 8 s , fine mixed 7 s . 4 d to 7 s Gd , and good red 7 e per 70 lbs . Common red from Now Orleans 6 s Id to 6 s 8 d per 70 lbs . Western Canal _superflno flour has been sold at 26 s , extra superfine 27 s ; the general run of Baltimore , Philadelphia , and other brands of sweet flour 24 s to 25 s , and sour 22 s to 22 s Cd per barrel of 196 lbs . In British wheat and flour very little has' been done , and the quotations are merely nominal at present Oats and oatmeal command the rates of last week , but the sales of both has been very moderate .- .. . Barley _, beans , and peas are held at late prices . Indian corn is in request at advance of 2 s to 3 s per quarter . ¦ ' _..- '
Wakefield ConN Mabket . —On Friday we had a limited supply of wheat . Fresh old is in demand at Is to 2 s per quarter advance , and for new there is a good inquiry at a similar improvement . Oats arc in better supply and jd per stone lower . Beans maintain late prices . -Newcastle Corn Market . —We had a moderate supply of wheat at this day ' s market from the growers , as . well as coastwise , and tha attendance of buyers being ; larger than for some time past , caused a good demand for all descriptions of quality , at prices the turn [ dearer than 011 Saturday last . Barley met little or noattcntion , although holders would have submitted to late rates . Oats ruled extremely dull , . and scarcely maintained their value , owing to the number of foreign samples offering . In malt we bad not much passing . Rye and other grain sold on similar terms to last week . ' ..-

¦ - . STATE :. OF TRADE . Manchester . —There is not much actual change iu the market since Tuesday ; but the passing of the American Tariff , and thenon arrival ofthe _disastrous accounts generally expected from India , havo given a somewhat more cheerful tone to business . We iiiulerstniiil that most ofthe internal markets of India are very bare of English manufactures ; and a good many orders have been received at Calcutta ; but tho excessive scarcity of money renders the _ncirociation of the bills very difficult , and prevents business ., From the same cause , sales of produce are much impeded . nnd the probability seemed tn be lluit the merchants would be compelled ton system of barter . _IJbadford . —Our wool mui'kotis well supplied with all kinds of combing , 'and the business doing is barely an average , as the prices are too high to induce the spinners to buy , "except to supply tlieir immediate wants , There is more doing in all kinds of yarns , and a disposition to buy for future delivery : but the prices current arc so very _Uivt-, that tho _eplmipi'c _, _'milfl not . renlisn prime costprior
, to the advance which is now being given on combing wages , and there is no disposition to sell , except athigher rates , _fiecos—The prospects of an early and abundant harvest are very cheering , and hold out great hopes for a pood home trade for the autumn . The accounts from the West are equally satisfactory ; and _thepassing of the reduced tariff and the Bonded Duties Bill are looked upon as highly beneficial ; so that we may expect to be busy throughout tlie winter . Our market has beon active , and on some kinds of goods an advance lias been given . Nottingham . —The market has this week been very quiet , especially in the plain _dcpartinont . In fancies more lias been doing , really good patterns finding a . ready sale both for home and foreign consumption . Lf *( CESri _* tt . —Tiie hosiers are fully engaged in producing goods for thc autumn trade , and a good amount of business is doing in the warehouses . The glove and fancy branches are well employed . There is noalteration in either yarns or wools . _Ti'gjj sorts obtain the shade of advance noticed in our last .
Halifax . —We have no alteration to notice in the piece and yarn trades since our last .

Few , indeed , there arc , who have not been at some time , _sufttti-evs by these tormenting evils : Wu uo know , however , that the number is much less than formerly , owing to the _astonishing cures effected by the extended uso of " Vaul ' s ' Every "Man ' s l ' riciid ; " and our present object is to point out to those unacquainted with the good results of this application , that by its use they will certainly acquire not only ease to tlieir feet , but from

The mortality ol London , and indeed , of England generally , shows a gradual annual increase , whilst it is well known that the population increases considerably . The rates of premium for bite Insurance have been gently reduced during thc last few years , yet the ofliees continue as prosperous as formerly . __ These facts clearly demon _, stratc that some cause , either unknown or unheeded , must have produced such favorable results . Amongst these causes , the increased knowledge of anatomy and _tllO many Very valuable discoveries in medicine _, vill stand most prominent . The small-pox , that annually carried oft" thousands , has been successfully combattcd by vaccination ; and Gout , that used to claim its numerous victims , has been thoroughly vanquished by Blairs Gout and Klicuniafic Pills .

James Augustus Seymour, 40, Was Indicted...
James Augustus Seymour , 40 , was indicted for a miidemeanouf , In having unlawfully eaused the registry of a false entry ofa birth . Mr . _Doane conducted the prosecution . Mr . HambHn , the registrar of births , deaths , and marriages for St . Luke ' s , deposed that on the 12 th of Maydefendant came to his office , and said he wished to register the birth of a child , and witness at his dictation _nlkd np the register . _He'dcEcribedhimgelf as the father , and described the mother as Amy Seymour , foimerly Amy Wallen . The witness said that the prisoner did not say that they were married , but he inferred that they were so from the description tho prisoner gave of the mother of the child . The prisoner cross-examined the witness at some length as to his identity , but he persisted in declaring that he was the man who had come to bis office and had caused utm to make the entry .
Amy Wallen deposed that ske had been living with the prisoner as his wife , hut they were not married . She was delivered of a child , of which the prisoner was the father _^ in the be ginning of May , and she remembered the prisoner going away on the 12 th , saying that he should get the birth registered . , She identified the signature to thc register as the prisoner ' s handwriting , ' The prisoner cross-examined the witness at great length ; but upon _Biatters - . totally irrelevant , the only object apparently being to dofameher character and that of her family . ' The Recorder repeatedly interposed , and told him thathe would not do himself any g < _sod by such a course of examination , and that he ought to confine himself to the real question at issue , viz . whether or not lie had caused the false entry to he made ? '
In auswer fo a question from the Court , the witness said , thnt for the hist nine months she bad lived with the prisoner , she went by tbe name of Amy Seymour , and was looked -upon , by their lamllord , and every one who knew them , as the prisoner ' s wife . The prisoner , who had conducted himself with great effrontery during the trial , declared that the whole pro ceeding was a conspiracy by the girl ' s relations to get him transported . The _Reem-der , at the close of the case for the prosecution _, said , there appeared to him to be this difficulty , that although the prisoner had made a statement tending to a fnlse inference that tha parties were married , and that the child was legitimate , yet , in point of fact , he had not made any uctual false statement . Mr . Doane admitted that _thiswusso , but he said the effect of such a proceeding was entirely to defeat the intention ofthe act of Parliament .
The Recorder safd , thatthe mischief which it was the intention ofthe act to prevent was certainly effected ; but under the particular circumstances he should like to have the opinion of the judge upon the point . Thejury ultimately returned a verdict of Guilty , but under the direction of bis Lordship they appended to tlieir 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 by the _prisonor . c John Weeks surrendered to answer an indictment ( . barging him with embezzling three several sums , of 4 s ., s ., and 6 s ., thenioueys of Nathaniel Pegg , his master . Mr . Ballantine and . Mr . Chavnock 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 _Phcenix-wharf , Southwark , f <> r 12 years , as collecting cleik , and his duty was to receive moneys due to the _pro-secutor , and to account for the sums received at the tmd of each week ; and it « as alleged that he had . received _Ihncs payments from a person named Watts , and on these occasions he had _embezzled the sums mentioned in the indictment . Upon _tfte _ci-oss-cxiiminafionof Mr . Pegg , however , he admitted tliat he allowed one of his clerks the privilege of selling coals to his friends or private customers at an advance of
5 s . _ptr ton upon the price of the coals in the pool , and although he deniod oyer having accorded such a privilege to the prisoner , it appeared that the sums he was charged with _embezzling made up exactly Uie amount that he would havo been entitled to retain for himself , supposing such an arrangement to have existed , aud which on the part of the prisoner was alleged actually to have been the case . It likewise appeared that the charge had not been made by the prosecutor until after the prisoner had left _iiis service and gone into tliat of another coal merchant named Wright , who had set up in the coal trade near Mr . Pcgg ' _s wharf , and he admitted that ' tho prisonerhad taken a g reat many of his customers away .
Mr . Clarkson made a very able address to the jury on behalf of thc prisoner , and called a number of highly respectable witnesses , all of whom gave bim an excellent character . The Recorder summed up the case , and thc jury immediately returned a verdict of A _' ot Giiilti / . Tbe prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment preferred by the same prosecutor , charging him with larceny ; but after oue or two witnesses had been examined , Sir . Ballantine expressed an opinion that he did not expect the jury would convict the prisoner upon lbs evidence that he was in a position to _offi'V , and lie therefore withdrew from the prosecution . A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly recorded .
