      Lomhw Cow . ' EscaxvoE , Mosbat , Oct . C . -During the past week , up to Saturday evening , the arrivals of Eng lish wheat for our markets , coastwise as well as by land-carriage and sample , were , even the time of vear considered , limited , andprincipallyof the present year ' s growth . Of all other gram of home produce , Including flour , the receipts were rather scanty . From Ireland a . full average supply of oats came to hand , while the imports of foreign wheat and flour were moderately good . The advices which have reached us by this morning ' s post from the north of England being somewhat unfavourable as respects the progress making there iu harvest operations , the fresh arrivals of wheat from Essex , Kent , and other counties small , and the attendance of millers large , the demand for aU descriptions of -wheat of home produce was somewhat activeat an

      , advance m the currencies obtained at this day se ' nnig ht of from Is . to 2 s . per or ., and at which nearly the whole of the samples on offer were disposed of . The show of free foreign wheat was comparatively small , but of full average quality . Selected qualities of both red and white commanded a ready sale at 2 s . per qv . more money , while the value of other kinds had an upward tendency . There being no buyers for shipment , bonded grain was a mere drug , and the prices ruled almost nominal . Very little new English barley was brought forward . The few parcels on tho market were readily taken at fully last week ' s prices . Foreign barley , free of duty , was

      in fair request at late rates . The best kinds of malt sold steadily ; other kinds slowly , at late rates . The supply was again small . Owing to tho increased arrivals of oats from Ireland , and the large number of foreign samples on sale , the oat trade was in a sluggish state , and previous figures were with difficulty supported , except for very fine parcels . The show of beans was by no means large , yet the inquiry for that article was slow , at barely stationary prices . Peas came freely to hand . As the supply was more than adequate to meet the wants of the buyers , and as there was no foreign demand , grey and maple declined 3 s ., and white os . per quarter . Flour steady , at last Monday ' s prices .

      London Smithfibld Cattle Mabket , Monday , Oct . G . —The impo . ts of live stock for oar market since Monday last have been again liberal , they having amounted to 46 oxen from Hamburg , per the Countess of Lonsdale and the Neptune steamers , while from Rotterdam we have received 50 oxen , 54 cows , 500 sheep , and 12 calves per the Columbine , JJatavier , and Giraffe . Comparatively speaking , the above arrivals have proved by no means first-rate . To-day vre had on offer 112 oxen and cows , and 210 sheep from the above-mentioned ports . The former sold at from £ 1410 s . to £ 17 , the latter 35 s . to 42 s . per head . At the out-ports the receipts have fallen off . The arrivals of beasts fresh up from the northern grazing districts consisted of 2 ( J 0 short-horns . From tho eastern counties we received 300 Scots and shorthorns ; from the-western and midland districts , 500 Hereford ' s , rantsDevons , < fcc ; from other parts of

      , England , 450 of various breeds ; from Scotland , 150 horned and polled Scots ; and from Ireland 100 beasts ; the remainder of the supply being derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis . The numbers of beasts being somewhat on the increase , they amounting to nearly 4 , 000 head , we have to report a very dull inquiry for that description of stock . However , tho primest Scots , & c ., sold at prices quite equal to those obtained on Monday last , but the value of the middling and inferior kinds suffered a decline of 2 d . per S lbs ., and a clearance was with difficulty effected . With , sheep -we -were scantily supplied for the time of year . Long Wools moved oil' steadily at very full prices . In other kinds of sheep , very little was doing , at barely late rates . Calves were in limited supply and heavy demand , at last week ' s currencies . In pigs a good business was doing , and the quotations had an upward tendency .

      Maxcuestee Cons Market , Saturday , Oct . 4 . — The weather , since our report of this day se ' nnight has been exceedingly variable , the early part of the week being very fine , whilst for the past few days wc have had almost constant rain . The trade durin » tte same period has undergone little or no change , a fair consumptive demand having been experienced for most of the leading articles , without any material variation from the previous currency . At our market this morning there was an extremely limited inquirv f "* "e * t » and prices continued the same for all de " - scnptions .

      flour are to a fair amount . From abroad we have further arrivals of American and Canadian flour , and of beans from Egypt , The import duty on foreign wheat was advanced to 18 s .- per qr . ; on flour to 10 s . lOd . per barrel , which are the only alterations since our last report . The weather for two or three days during the week was very unsettled , and a heavy quantity of rain has fallen on the portion of grain crops yet unsecured northwards . Without any great extent of business , there is an increased confidence in the trade generally , and , as respects old wheat , a little improvement in price . RicnsioxD Corn Mahket , Oct . 4 . —We had a large supply of grain in our market to-day . The samples of new wheat were very fair ; but , the weather having been very unfavourable this week , cause an advance en last week ' s prices .

      Extuaonnnvant Brain.—A Few Days Ago A Poor Woman, Who Was Live Or Six Months Advanced In Nree-

      ExTuAonnnvAnT Brain . —A few days ago a poor woman , who was live or six months advanced in nree-

      nancy , the wife ofa labouring man , and mother of two healthy children , residing at No . 1 , Gloucester-place , Islington , was delivered of still-born female twins , between whom an union exists from the chest to the abdomen . Both children are exceedingly well formed ^ in every limb and feature , excepting that portion constituting the union , and even this is not a deformity . They measure 12 inches long . and are 21 bs . 3 oz . avoirdupois weight . Their features are well made and regular , with great symmetry in their limbs , with a fair development of muscle . There are two umbilical cords , entering the abdomen together , and united together by a thin membrane , which , to a casual observer , appears as one ; so that , independently of the unity that exists , they are externally twoi perfectly formed children , like the Siamese twins ,, with this exception , that the union consists of an

      adhesion of the ribs of the right side of oneto the left of the other , the whole covered with the common integuments and muscles from the chest to the lower part of the abdomen . In examining tho chest , Mr . Dommett , tho surgeon , found each distinct from the other , there being no communication , but separated by the ribs , muscles , pleura , & c the contents of each being natural / with well formed lungs and heart ; but such was not the case with the abdomen , for here was found one common cavity for both , with separate viscera on each side , with the exception of the liver , which extended from the side of one to the opposite side of the other , forming one liver for both . This , with the distribution of the vessels from the end , . was the only deviation which was -. bscrved . The other viscera were in their usual place , and number—namely , each had stomach , small and large intestines , spleen , two kidneys , bladder , uterus- - , and each in perfect position . They have been carefully preserved .

      Thb New Gocknet School . — A new Cockney school has arisen , ten times more twaddling and impotent than the ancient academy of that name ; the spirit of the times has changed . The literary youth of London are all in the facetious line . They have regular clubs , at which , they meet to collate the gathered slang and pilfered wittisms of the week ; periodical compotations to work these materials into something like a readable shape and hebdomadal journals , by means of which their choice productions are issued to a wondering world . Now , though a single gnat can give you very little annoyance in the course of a summer ' s night , the evil becomes serious when you are surrounded with whole scores of these diminutive vermin , singing in your ears , buzzing in your hair , and lighting incessantly on your face . In vain you turn aside , in hopes to get rid of the nuisance . Go where you will , a perfect cloud of midges keep hovering round your head , each tiny bloodsucker sounding his diminutive horn , in the full and perfect belief that he discourses most excellent music . Even

      so , in London , are you surrounded with thesephilosophersof the Cyder-cellar . Their works stare you every where in the face ; the magazines abound with their wit . ; thcirsongs , consisting ibr the most part of prarient parodies , are resonant throughout the purlieus of Covent Garden . What is worse than all , the ? have wriggled themselves into a sort of monopoly of the theatres , persuaded the public to cashier Shakspeare , who is now -utterly out of date , andtoinstal in his place a certain Mr . as the leading swan of the Thames . Let us then submit to the better judgment of our brethren , and bow down promiscuously before any brazen calf which their eager idolatry may rear . Let London promulgate the law of letters , as well as the statues of the land . —Blackwood ' s Magazine .

THE Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also a Direct Liverpool and Birmingham Railway . It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham . Fron * thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either on the Grand Junction , or on the Wolverhampton , Dudley and Birmingham Railway . From Wolverhampton . commences the- new portion of Railway , consisting of 55 miles only , and passing through Newport and Whitchurch ; on to Chester . At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway proceeds Of t the Chester and Birkenhead Railway , to Birkenhead .. It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead' a Steam Ferry gratis to Liverpool across the Mersey ,, so as to unite both towns-into one . This Railway has the advantage of passing through the towns on its route , without materially increasing the distance . The principle of she Direct London and Liverpool Railway , as in the case of the Rugby , Derby and Manchester Railway , is to obtain a Direct through Line between some of the most populous districts in the kingdom , with the least possible amount of new Railway , and consequently the smallest expenditure of capital . The Direct London and . Liverpool Railway opens up an entirely new District , at the same time-that it interferes but slightly with existing Railway interests . The maps , plans ,, estimates , and otiicr documents required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the- Parish clerks , the clerks of' the peace for the counties , and the parliamentary offices , on the 24 th day of November , being six days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament .. A preference in the allotment of Shares will bo given , to the extent of 15 , 000 , to the original Shareholders in the Rugby . , Derby , and Manchester Railway Company , on their sending in their applications for the same . A proper reservation of Shares will be made for the Honuon and Birmingham , Chester and Birkenhead , and Warwickshire Railways , being the Railways by means of which the project now submitted to the public is the-most Direct London and Liverpool Railway that can be made . As the applications are exceedingly numerous , a very early day will be named for closing the lists . In the mean time applications for Shares-may be addressed to the Solicitors , or any of the Agents of the Company in the following form . FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES ..

AMID the many and tho mighty records of man ' s discoveries in tho arts and sciences , which owe their existence to the unceasing energies and boundless wealth of this commercial empire , posterity will search in vain the historical monuments ot departed ages , to discover one more wonderful or valuable m the annals ofa nation ' s greatness , than the iron roads of the nineteenth century—those magnificent highways ot commerce , v ? hich , extending in every direction their gigantic trunks and literally countless brandies , and intersecting in its length as in its breadth the entire Kingdom of Great Britain , are , to the extent of some thousand miles , momentarily traversed with almost lightning rapidity , by the potent agency ot Steam . Mont truly has it been observed that "the philosophy of railroads is only now beginning to be comprehended hy the universal world ; daily and rapidly they are developing new and important views of society ; thev are . in fact , self-sustaining ' social instruments , that by cheapening innumerable commodities , and diminishing the cost of transit , are not only increasing consumption , but creating , as it were , in savings new enterprise , new capital , new wants . " , , , . „ If anv changes yet await them ( and , douhtless , there arc some ) , they arc changes merely of progression from one stage of improvement to another : but sooner or later the adoption of railroads must become universal , though the bvoad gnage , bv reason of Us supposed increased safety , with increased speed , should ultimately clash with the narrow , and the maximum of our present velocity should become the minimum ot speed hereafter , for while an engine manufactured in 1844 cannot accomplish the distance between London and Liverpool in less than six hours , we behold another constructed in 184 o traversing the same space m The assertion may appear , at first mention , nstoundinpto those quite unacquainted with the fact , and in happy ignorance of the great advantages of railroads , even as investments , yet so highly remunerative has been the actual interest only , paid by Railway Companies on the amount ot money called tor up . to the present time , that the effect has positively been to create a new and independent property lor Railway Shareholders , over and above the gross amount of capital advanced by them , ot upwards ol ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS STERLING . . The primary and the principal , object of this Company is to accomplish , on the more extensive field of continental Europe a ns well as in our British possessions throughout the world , what lingland , witliall her wealth , and all her energies , has . from her very limited extent alone , only succeeded as yet in carrying out comparatively in miniature , viz ., the construction of Railroads ; in other words , to accomplish by steampower a still more gigantic scheme of passenger traffic on land than those extensive fleets ot steamers , known as the various Foreign Steam Navigation Companies of England , have hitherto maintained at sea . With such important views , and national as well as individual interests sincerely at heart , accredited Directors , with ample resources at their command , in several instances most favourably connected , in all practically and intimately acquainted with the various localities they arc destined to proceed to , will be specially delegated , on behalf of the Company , to enter into n egociations with Continental States and British and Foreign Governments , and by contracts of the most favourable nature lor the interest of Shareholders in the present Company , to secure the concession of the many exceedingly valuable lines of railway which to the extent of several thousand miles throughout the world , still await the immediate application only of British enterprise , combined with British capital , to he effectually and successfullycarried out . An engineering staff , on a scale of liberality sufficiently great to meet the magnitude ot tho undertaking , and as perfect in its several appointments as the very hig hest order ot merit ( supported by unexceptionable testimonials ) , can constitute it , will accompany a chosen body of the Directors throughout their travels to guid « their judgment on scientific questions , and to report on eng ineering matters , such as earth-works , costs of construction , and the precise nature of the several soils and gradients . The Directors purposely omit all mention of engineering difficulties , because , with the single exception of ' physical impossibilities , experience daily proves that they resolve themselves into the simple question of expense , and consequent amount of interest , and are therefore , more properly speaking , matters for the special consideration of financiers ( rather than of eng ineers ) , by whom they will be fully debated and disposed of . With a view to ensure not only names of hi gh com mercial stac ding , and possessing likewise extensive influence with Foreign States , but also practically efficient working , Directors , the _ Executiveof this Company has been constituted liberally remunerative ; thus every Director will tool that , bis-own personal services lies the secret power of rendering the present project only the first of a series of eminentl y successful undertakings in the interest of all of which he must necessari l j participate . Every grant for a Railroad , secured by the successful negotiationo of this Company , Vdl be constituted a separate and distinct Railway Company , and every holder ot Shares herein will he untitled tothecallat par ofa proportionate number of the new shares in every Company , according to the number hemay possess in tho present one : such claim to bo made by the production ot the ' original 8 . ha . res at the Company ' s office seven clear days previous to every allotment of shares w eaoh Company ,

' . ... , « . ' The deposit of 10 s . per share will be invested in approved securities , and the interest arising therefrom will bo carried to a fund for defraying in part the expenses of the Company connected wilh its general Although the act of subscribing for shares in any of the subsequent Companies which may result f rom tlm present one , has been expressly stated as being quite optional on thepart of a Subscriber hereto , it is Pc . haps only proper to- state , in addition , that on any occasion of an original Shareholder declining to tahesuch new shares , and relinquishing his right of clainnng . shares m every new Company , he will be at perfect liberty to withdraw his original deposit money on giving thirty-one days' notice to that effect ; and the Directors expresslv guarantee that the total deduction tor expenditure ( at home and abroad ) , shall not ultimately exceed from five to ten shillings on each deposit ; these expenses , however , will be defrayed as they are incurred , in equal proportions by the : various- Companies establised from time to time through tiie successful negotiations of the present one , and thus the lull amount oi the original deposit will be returned not only without any deduction , but with the addition of the various bonuses . ' The bonus ( annual or commuted ) given by every Foreign Company for each separate act of concession will be carried , as before explained , to an accumulating lund , lor the benefit of the Shareholders in this Company ( through the aid , in fact , of whose capital the caution money deposited with Continental States for seeurin ^ the concessions of such fereign lines will have been primarily , although temporarily , advanced ) , and wilf when all the various lines-are conceded lor which the Directors intend to propose the necessarv advance o f capital , be divided in proportion to the amount ot deposit money advanced by eacll original Shareholder which deposit will then be returned in . full , together with all accumulations . ' A subscription for one or more shares in any Company-will carry with it and imply an adhesion to the statutes , rules , and regulations of such Company , and to all rights and privileges thereto attaching ; but it has been rendered optional on the part of Shareholders herein to accept or declin e such shares previous to his or her act of subscriptiom . Negotiations of a highly important nature with several Foreign Stales will , in a very brief period , be folk and unreservedly communicated to the Shareholders ; and , without a more direct reference at tho present time , to the objects actually contemplated , it may , perhaps , not be considered premature to sta e that a short time only will elapse befone the announcement of some most important accessions to-tho interest of the present Company .
