P . The nsnal toasts were drunk ; and the noble Earl on Ms health being proposed , referre-1 ins desponding lone to the present condition and fotore prospects of Sheffield . He declared he was pithoui hope for the future , because we had not returned to the old Saxon system of barter . Mr . Vortlsy took np the subject and declared he was

      aoi without hope if the manufacturers and merchants atieaded to their business . Thsre was no reasonable donbt but trade TV >; nld revive . Mr . GaJly Enight , however , gave the finishing stroke to ihe Freebooters . He told them the ? had lost their good name wr honesty ; and that they had to blame themselves , and their false speculations with America , for the 3 os 3 of their trade . He hoped , however , that the laie exposure and destruction of spurious goods in ParadL = e- £ qnare , would go fonh to the world and regain for them their character , and with it their trade . Many more "wholesome truths were told not very maeh to i " ae palates of those " wot ' ' would-be lords and masters of this town .

      EhigSitjqs to America . —On Sunday forenoon the American line-of-packet ship , Hen'frik Hudson , Capuin Moore , sailed from the Si . Katherine ' s Dock for New York . She carries out about 120 emigrants . Of these there are fifty in the cabin , the others being intermediate and steerage passengers ; the latter being , as ntual , poor agricultural labourers with their families , from the neighbouring counties . Owing to the harreBt operations happily going on uninterruptedly in oar own country , the number of steerage passengers per the Hendrik Hudson is far below the nsnal average . Among those in the intermediate berths are several yoan ^ , industrious mechanics , who have been persuaded by their friends in the " far west" to leave the shores of England to improre their condition in America . The Hendrik Hudson takes out nearly a full miscellaneous cargo of British manufactured goods .

      Fatal Mistake . —On Wednesday Jast , an irishman named M'Quin , employed in tvi > rkir , g the stills at Douglas Bleachfield , swallowed a cocpiderabie quantity of vitriol from the jug used by him for supplying the retorts . Antidces were immediately but ineffectually used to counteract the acid—after lingering six hours , death put an end to his sufferings . A dangerous practice is prevalent amongst the workmen at Bleachfields of drinking water from jags in which vitriol has been kept , in order to have tha beverage slightly acidulated , which it is presumed in this instance led to ihe mistake . —Dublin Warder .

      Fatai Quabbel BS 7 Wee > " Heapebs—On Wednesday wetk a fatal conflict occurred amongst a band of reapers , on the Grange Farm , at Lentwardine , Abergavenny . It appears that a trifling dispute arose bevween them , and being excited by liquor , blows ensued ; fortunately , perhaps , it would have besn had this been the only result , at least it would have saved a rtftection on our national character—one of the party assaulted immediately defended himself with his reaping hook , and the death of one of the combatants terminated the affray , and another reaper was so dreadfully wounded that he was obliged to be assisted home . A verdict of "Manslaughter" has been returned ty a Coroner ' s Jery , against Thomas Turner , who was committed to take his trial at the ensuing areiz . 's .

      Mxlascholy Death or the Daughter of Vjc toe . Hcgo a > d heb HcsjA . M ) . —W e find the fol lowing distressing account in the Journal du Havre of Tuesday : — " A sad event , which will fill with mourning a family dear to literary France , ca 9 this morning afflicted onr population . It is another instance of the danger of the navigation of Failing bt , ats on rivers , aod against which , ia this case , tbe experience of an old captain was of no avail . Yesterday , about noon , M . Pierre Tacquerie , an old captain , and a merchant of Havre , wco resided at Yillequier , at his property , on the banks of the Seine , having business at Caudebec , resolved to make this little trip by water , and being familiar with the navigation of tbe river , and tbe mode of handling boats

      he took with him in his boat , which had two lug sales , his young son , aged ten years—his nephew , M . C . Vacqnerie— and the young wife of the latter , the daughter of M . Yictor Hugo , to whom he was not long since married . The boat , which left YilleqmeT with the ebo tide , was met at about a quarter to one by the Petite Emma steamer , Capt . Durasan . who , on losing sight of her , went to " Villcqnier to take in a pilot . Hardly half an hoar had elapsed when intelligence arrived that s boa ; had been upset on the opposite bank , called the Des d'Ane . Assistance was instantly despatched , "but it arriTed only in time to witness the irreparable misfortune that had taken place . The boat was tsken aback , and the sheets were imprndently made fast . On her being righted , there were found inside a cannon ball and a large stone , which had been nsed as ballast , and the dead body of M . Pierre Yacquerie , with the head hanging over the side . The three other persons had

      disappeared . It was supposed at first that M . C Vacquierre , being an excellent swimmer , had , whilst endeavouring to save his wife and his relat'ons , been carried further ; but , a 3 nothing appeared on the surface of the water , a net was thrown in , and the ground dragged . The first time it was pulled up it contained the lifeless body of the unfortunate lady , which was taken on shore , and placed on a bed . At the moment when Captain Durason , who has communicated these details to ns , quitted the lamentable scene , the drag net had been again used , and it was presumed , from the maECBvering of the boats , that the bodies of the other iwo victims had been recovered . Madame Yictor Hugo received this morning at Havre , where she has been residing some time with her two other children , the news of the terrible calamity that has befallen her . She set out immediately for Paris . M , Yictor Hago is travelling . It is believed that he is at La Rochelle . "

      Fatal Duel . —We have received the following from Baden Baden ,, dated the 2 nd instant : — A heavy and painful sensation of gloom has been cast over this otherwise gay and animated spot by a duel , which took place this afternoon across the WtiTtsmburg frontier , between a young Russian officer of the name of Yesefkine , and a German officer of Carlsruhe , of the name of Gohler , which duel terminated in the death of the former . The cause of difference was this : —M . Gohler had refused to fight with a M . Haber , a relation of the banker of this place , for reasons which his fellow-officers considered sufficient to warrant this refusal . This affair wa 3 warmly taken np by some young Russian here , who espoused the part of M . Haber , considering

      him badly used . si . Yesefkine put himself particularly forward , and unfortunately went so far as to put up some abusive placards penned by Haber , reflecting on the conduct of M . Gobler , wbo was detained by military duty at Carisruhe . He , however , obtained a congi , arrived here last njght , and foagbx an interview with Yeseikine , who refused to fight unless Gohler first accepted the challenge of Haber . M . Gehler , exasperated , threatened to strike him , whereupon a duel was agrred to ; nes an ordinary * affair of honour , but a duel d morl , each to have iwo pistols , and the affair not to terminate until one was put hors de combat . The second of the Russian was a fellow-countryman , and the other a Spaniard . They proceeded this morning to

      Carlsruhe , and crossed the frontier into Wurtemburg . The principals were placed at twenty paces , to advance within ten . Tfce first shot was fired by Yeseikdne , which teok effect in tbe breast of his adversary , high np under the collar-bone . Gobler returned the shot without effect ; the Russian then discharged his second pistol , missing hia adversary , whese second pistol hung fire three different times . From pain and loss of blood he was staggering , and scarcely able to bear up , but his second having handed him a freshly leaded pistol , he fired , and Yesefkine receiving the ball through the arm into his breast , fell dead without uttering a word . Had his adversary fallen , he wa 3 to have fought a second duel with M . Sarachagi , the second of Gohler .

      Tbe latter was immediately transported to Carlsruhe , where he lies in a most dangerons etate . The body of Yesefkine was brought hither this evening by his second , who has fled to France ; but it has since been taken back to Rastadt . The conduct of the police in this affair has been most culpable , and baffle 3 conjecture , as they had cognizance of the placards , which they toie down , and besides , a short time back interfered to prevent the same M . Yesefkine from risking his life alone in a balloon ( in which M . Margat , seronaut , ascended , ) for a bet of 500 francs with an American gentleman . You can easily conceive how this most sad affair has obecked

      all spirit of gaiety in this place , and cast a gloom over it which will not be dispelled this Beason . It is the secend duel within three weeks . M . Vesefkme was a young man of twenty-eight , tall , elegant , and brave ; he had Berved in the Circassian war with distinction . He is the last of four brotheie , who have all met untimel y- ends . One was killed in a dnel , a second in battle , a third by an accident , and now this last survivor has fallen to complete the number . He fought a adhere last year with M . d » Shin Bern . Fox th « trath of the foregoing details I can vouch , as I am acquainted with all the parties . "— Gaiwnani .

      The Ghost of a Regicide . —On Tuesday night last , about half-past eleven o'clock , the people residing in Lawton street , Congleton , were alarmed by loud screaming , and cries of murder from tha iumates of the House of Mr . Khrinks . The noise continued to increase , till ' . he police arrived , who burst open the door ; when they were informed that shortly after tko famiiy had retired to rest , they were awakened by loud noises in the house , and on looking oul oi bed perceived the tall figure of a man flitting about tbe room . They supposed it was no

      othfT ihan tho apparition of the notorious President Bradshaw , come to Tevisit his former dwelling . He was , in his day . Mayor of t ' ongletoa , apd was the judge who condemned the unfortunate Charles I . io be beheaded . The inmates vn-ro much terrified , and roared out lustily ; on which the mysterious Tisitor unceremoniously departed . The police , aided by some members of the family , commenced a most diligent search ; but everything was found as they had left it , perfectly safe and secure . The general impression in Congleton consrquently is that " the house is haunted . "— Macclesfield Chronicle .

      A few days ago , tbe Iele of Tiree , near Dumfries , was visited by a shoal of whales , which were no sooner observed than several boats put out to sea to surround them . " The " leaders" were fchaving a creek , when a native , Mr . D . Maclean , who chanced to be riding by , jumped offnis horse , taking with him tho bridle and his trusty dirk . It 13 well known that if one whale bleeds , and is stranded , tho rest of the shoal , by some fatality , follow , and are easily secured . Mr . Maclean steing thn leader quite close , jumped upon its back , and stabbed it in the belly . The moment the monster took it in the saline element it turned belly up . Donald pur . his bridle about its tail , and swam with it to an adjacent boat ! In this manner the unequal fight was carried oa for about an hour , when Mr . Maclean , after having secured eleven whales , felt exhausted , and had to give up the contest .

      RoMAKCE in Clerical Life . —Married at Buckingham , the Rev . James Long , rec : or of Maidsmoreton , to Miss Jane Hobbs , of Buckingham . The bridegroom , who is nearly eighty years of a « e , has thown a fine taste in female beauty by taking to his arms a perfect specimen of nature ' s handiwork , a young woman who , ( only eight days before , ) was ' * maid of all work" at Mr . George King's—beauteous , blooming , lovely , medest , and twenty-two years of age . The disparity in the ages and circumstances of the happy two ( we almost said pair ) caused a peculiar interest in" the town ; old aud young and middle-aged , all " hasted to the wedding ; " the lemale population was on the qui vive , each seemed

      to think almo 3 t aloud , but their thoughts were not permitted to be heard . The church was crowded to suffocation . After the tervice . the old gentleman , with glowing admiration of his lovely wife , raised her veil , and gave his bride a distinct and audible kiss , before the congregation . No pen can describe ihe looks of the . female auditors . One simultaneous burst of applause and a loud clapping of hands followed , showing the admiration of the bridegroom's gallantry , and the power of youthful beauty over even advanced years . The curiosity of the public was intense to see the bride , and to pay respect to this worthy old gentleman . The wedding party went off by tho Birmingham railway oa a honeymoon excursion . —Lancaster Guardian .

      Frightful Accident- —On Monday afternoon , between one and two o ' clock , a dreadful accident occurred in Cateaton-street . It appears that the foreman of the carpenters employed in the erection of the premises at the corner of Milk street was proceeding to measure some work on a scaffold four Btories high , and in Etepping from one portion of the work to another , holding on by a half brick projecting from the building , the brick gave way , he overbalanced himself , and was precipitated to the ground . In his descent he fell with his back across the hoarding erected there , by which his back was broken . He then rebounded on some flagstones that were standing endways , striking them with his head , and the unfortunate man ' s brains were spread in all directions . He was , it was understood , a single man .

      Attack by Wasps . —On Saturday forenoon , as a man and his wife , belonging to Pemarium , were engaged at harvest work on the farm of Gooalyburn , they accidentally came upon a wasp ' s " bike , " and so disturbed the inmates that they made their appearancein immense swarms , and fixed themselves upon the unwitting intruders before they could gel out of the way . They raised an immediate alarm , and , in a moment or two , all the shearers in the field were about them , using every endeavour to liberate them from their dangtroua enemies . This they accomplished , but not until the man and wife were so severely stnng , especially about the face—almost every trace of feature being obliterated—that they had to be helped home and put to bed , from which , as yet , they have been unable to rise , the wouuds having produced violent fever . —Perth Courier .

      Stranjb and Melascholt Event . —About seven o ' clock yesterday morning , tho bodies of two women were discovered lying near to each other at the outside of the tast protection wall . On being conveyed to the dead house , it was ascertained that they were the corpses of two sisters , named Essex and Mary M'Intyre , daughters of Mr . M'Intyre , late of the Excise , and residing on the Perth-road . When found , the features of both were a good deal disfigured , which led to the supposition that they had been a long time in the water ; but thie is not the case , as they were both seen on Monday last , late in the afternoon . The cause of this lamentable event ia not absolutely certain ; but the probability is that both committed self-destruction while in a state of temDorary insanity . —Dundee Herald .

      Brutal Experiments on Animals . —A late number of tbe Lancet contains a notice of certain experiments performed on catB , one of which is peculiarly brutal in its character , and not of any scientific importance in its resuks . A foreigner of the name of Weinhold took away the brain and spinal marrow of one of these animals , and filled up the space thus made with an amalgam of mercury , quicksilver , and zinc . Life appeared to be instantly restored , the animal lifted up its head , openvd and shut its eyeB , and , looking with a fixed stare , endea-Toured to walk 5 and whenever it cropped , tried to raise itself upon its legs . It continued in this stato

      some twenty minutes , when it fell down and remained motionless . During all the time the animal was thus treated , the cira ^ ation of the blood appeared to go on regularly ; the secretion of the gastric juice was more than usual , and the animal heat was re-established . Although it is not expressly so stated , the cat must have bten alive when this fellow cut away its brain and spinal marrow , or else the processes just described could not have been reproduced ; and we tan easily believe that a person capable of thus torturing an animal would not hesitate , were it not for penal restrictions , at repeating his scientific experiment on human creatures . —Observer .

      The latk Parricide . —The following particulars ppear in the Siecle of Friday : — " We yesterday lentioned a horrible crime committed in tbe environs f London on Mr . C , Dadd . The murder has been nputed to the victim ' s son , Mr . Richard Dadd , a oung painter , who had already been subject to some is of madness ; but as the police had been unable > discover him , it was supposed he had drowned imself .

M ' s

      cravat and collar . This singular practice provoked the traveller , who desired his ne ighbour to have done with it ; the latter then drew from his pocket an excellent English razor , and set about cutting the throat of the unfortunate Frenchman , who , despite a vigorous resistance , received four rather deep cuts . Notwithstanding his wounds , he succeeded in mastering the young man , whose madness seems to be a mania of catting throats ; for , on being taken before the justice of the peaceat Monterean , he rery quietly declared that his name was Richard Dadd , and that be had just recently arrived from England , where he had murdered hit father by cutting his threat . He was lodged in the Melun house . But the moat surprising circumstance © fthiB strange ttoryis , that the moment Richard Dadd was arrested he hastened to give all he bad on him in order that bis victim might be taken care of 1 " Cause and Effect . —The quality and magnitude » f a parent ca % ue is judged of from that of its legitimate offspring , effect ; and applying this sound maxim to the valuable discovery of Father Parr , we must necessarily arrive at the conclusion , that the intrinsic virtues of his Vegetable Cure are more thop extraordinary .

      Stjeam Plough d » Lochar Moss . —On Monday last Mr . Curtis , the eminent engineer , invited about twenty of his friends to witness the machinery connected with this plough put in motion ; and it was truly astonishing to see such an immense fabric travel with the greatest facility over grouud so soft that a man can scarcely stand upon it without sinking . Mr . Cartis politely explained the objects of the different parts of the machine ; and , so far as an unprofessional person can judge , the principle of the construction seems sound , and we have no doubt that when completed ( which it will be in a short

      time ) it will fully answer the purpose intended ; and we may expect to see , at no very distant period , that immense tract of barren morass—now only the resort of curlews and seagulls—become a fertile valley , covered with clover and wheat . In fact , we regard this undertaking as the commencement of a now era in agriculture , and if tho man who " makes two-blades of . grass to grow where only one grew before is to bo regarded aa his country ' s best benefactor , what shall be said of him who converts Worthless heather into the most valuablo grain . — Dumfries Courier .

      Military Execution in Sp . ain . —Madbib Aug . w . — -One of those events that make an hiigli . ^ hnaau thrill with horror took place here this moruing . A battalion of the 2 ad Regiment of Infantry ( Del Principe ) , quartered at the barracks of San Francisco near the Toledo gato , mutinied last wight , on account of their inot having had their discharge , which had been repeatedly promised them . The battalion was at Barcelona , and was one of the first that joined in the lato insuriTctiori ; it had only lately arrived here . Another battalion of tho same regiment ia now in tiie Fort of Monijuicb . The men rose la mutiny about one a . m ., and on their Colonel , Senor Angles , proceeding there , it appears that he was insulted , and forced to retire . It was even said that he had been fired at and woundedbut this is now

      , denied ; however , the men , about five hundred in number , remained in a state of mutiny all night . Other troops were brought but , and Narvatz himself went there , and , it is said , promised them , that if they would lay down their arms , they should have their licenses of leave , which was all they wanted . At half-past nine o ' clock this morning they accordingly delivered themselves up ; the men were then forced to declare who were the ringleaders , and the latter were placed under arrest . A few minutes aftertvards several priests were introduced to confess them , and at half-past ten , five sergeants , two corporals , and one private soldier were taken out a little distance from the Toledo-gate , and there shot within si ^ ht of the barracks * 1 visited tho place of execution an hour after : the bodies had been

      removed , but the wall against which they wero shot was covered with blood , and here and there in tho insterstfecs , and on tho projecting points of the stones and mortar , were fragments of fleah and hair , which the bystanders were handing round . Numbers of persons have been this morning to the place , and their " curses , not loud but deep , " rendered evident what their feelings were on the occasion . An immense display of force was made ; several battalions of infantry , and a , large force of cavalry , with ten pieces of artillery , were assembled near the place of execution . The artillery was placed so as to fire upon the infantry had the latter shown symptoms of mutiny , or refused to perform the duty of dispatching their comrades . The artillerymen stood

      by their . . guns , with lighted matches , ready to fire at a moment's notice ; and even so tho murmurs of the men could not be suppressed , and the officers were obliged repeatedly t , o call out for silence ; they were tlheu marched by tho dead bodies , and afterwards back to ; their quarters . A proclamation has been iesued by Guernica , the new political chief , which is stuck about the streets , which merely says that Madrid remains tranquil , that " an event did occur last night at the barracks of San Francisco ; but that it was entirely connected with personal motives , and that order had been re established . " It is expected that i ? e shall not bo long now without military law being proclaimed . The Queen comes in this evening at half pa ^ t six oVock .

      Dr . ISruRGiN ' s Machine for Hoisting Materials in Building . —Part of the machine rests upon the ground . 1 he eecond part of it ia a trestle , which may b » . placed upon the scaffolding of tho bricklayers ; in tho upper part of which is a wheel which corresponds perpendicularly with another wheel , attached to the principal body of tho machine , resting on the ground . The wheel is put in motion by one or several men , who turn the handle by which tho chain operates its rotation . The workmen attach their hods , full of materials , and others detach them , to carry them to the bricklayers . The empty hods are attached to the chain and then they are detached . The chain may be lengthened and shortened as necessary . When a story is added to the scaffolding , the trestle is placed upon tho new story ; and the

      chain lengthened as required . This invention is to relieve the workman frem the most toilsome part of his labour by doing away with the practice of ascending the ladder , and preventing the accidents arising from this practice . By these means building operations will be carried on with greater expedition than heretofore , and it will diminish tho cost of such works . The hods are fastened to the chain at the rate of three in a minute ; each hod contains 1 G bricks ( or the same weight in other materials , ) equal to 48 bricks in a minute , 2 , 880 an hour , 28 , 800 in ten hours , the average of a day ' s work . If the bods are placed more closely to each other on the chain , four can bo affixed in a minute , 3 , 840 in the hour , 38 400 in the day . If instead of hods baskets be used the amount raised will bo double the above , as the handles occupy much space . —Polytechnic Review .

      Lord Cardigan Again . —It appears that , on Tuesday the 29 th ult ., Lord Cardigan , being commandant of Cavalry in the Garrison , ordered a brigade field day in the Ph « nix Park . The troops consisted of the Dragoon Guards and the 11 th Hussars . After being upwards ot four hours mounted , during which time the men were put through all the evolutions—they returned to Barracks , and here arose the Scene which has placed Lord Cardigan in another awkward dilemma . The men were dismounted , and in tbe act of filing off to the stables , when his Lordship suddenly gave the command to remount . The whole of the eleventh were speedily in their saddles , with the exception of three officers , whose horses had been already removed by their grooms . After the lapse of about two minutes , Lord Cardigan rode up to Mr . one of the senior lieutenants , and asked

      him , where was his horse 1 He replied , his groom bad gone for him . His Lordship replied smartly , M Go yourself for him . " This Mr . declined , observing calmly , as his groom had gone ' for the horse he would be there in a very few minutes . His Lordship repeated his command in an impassioned tone , and Mr . made the same reply as before , upon which Lord Cardigan put him under arrest . In the course of the afternoon , the officer represented the matter to Sir Edward Blakeny , the Lieutenant General Commanding the Forces , who wrote to Mr . not to consider himself under arrest from the receipt of this communication ; and so rests the matter . As to the reply of Sir Edward Blakeny to Lord Cardigan , it is a secret , as his Lordship has not communicated it to any of the gentlemen of the Regiment . —Mercantile Advertizer .

      Landlords and Tenants in Ireland . —The Marquis of Headfort presided on Thursday at the annual dinner of the Kells ( county of Meats ) Agricultural Society . The leading gentry of the district and many of tho farmers were present . In the course of the evening , Mr . Naper , of Loughcrew , one of the most extensive landlords in the county , addressed the meeting on the state and prospects of the agricultural interests in this county . ' The time is come , " said M r . Naper , " when some change must tako place . The people must procure their rights—he meant employment , and remuneration

      for their labour—( hear , hear ) . If the landlords of Ireland , or their fathers , had been too lavish upon luxuries and superfluities , the time is now come when the landlords of Ireland—ay , and of England and Scotland—ought to take the matter into consideration . He was sure many of them would cut off a portion of their superfluities , if they theught they could thereby give employment to the people . Let them attend to the matter in good time . The people are now temperate , and fitted for industry . A change is taking place—for God ' s sake , let it nut be too rapid nor too slow . " : Mr . Naper closed amidst the cheering of the company .

      "Ntw System of Paying Rents . '—Under this beading the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper , has been publishing some announcements similar to the following : — " Oa Sanday morning last , between the hours of twelve and one o ' clock , about two hundred men and women , principally strangers in the district , proceeded tp the farm occupied by a man named John Haruey , near Ballon , in this county , and cut down and carried away about five acres of wheat and two of oats , before six o ' clock . The party , who were provided with horses and cars , bare off the crops towards Racketatown , and have aat siuce been heard of . This plan of evading the payment of rent , or of preventing a distress on the lands is being generally adopted , and hitherto with complete success . It therefore remains to be seen after this warning , how far the proprietors of land aud the publio authorities

      can co-operate to prevent its being carried into practical effect generally .

      Loxdox Corn Market , Mosd&T , Sept . II . — During last week very considerable progress was made m harvest work , and the arrivals of all grain up to our market , if we except those of foreign Wheat , were on a very moderate sca ' e . We have received a full average supply of New Wheat from Essex and Kent the quality of which was iuferior . Old Wheat of home produce being scarce , the prices obtained were quite eqttal to those obtained on Monday last ; but in order to effect sales of new parcels the factors were compelled to submit to a decline on previous rates of from Is to 2 s per quarter , and a clearance was not effected . In fine foreign Wheat & very extensive business wag transacted . There was a good supply of fine foreign Barley , which met a slow inquiry . The Mak trade was dull . In Oats a fair amount of business was transacted . Beans , Peas , and F ' our as last quoted , wkh little doing .

      Borough and Spitalfields — Tne imports of Foreign Potatoes continue so extremely small as to be scarcely worthy of notice . From Ess&x , Kent , &o ., fair average time-of-year supplies have come to hand in condition , while the demand is firm , at from 3 i to 5 s 6 d per cwt . > pgjggM . Borough Hop Market . —Since our last report four pockets of now Hod * have been disposed of at prices varying from £ 7 15 $ to £ 8 8 s per cwt . The quality of fhe Hops in question was very good , and we learn vh ? . t picking is now becoming pretty general . From most of the hop districts the accounta ara favourable , and the duty in consequence has advanced to . £ 150 , 000 . In old Hops scarcely any business ia doing , and prices are again lower . Tallow—This market is very dull and inactive For forward delivery the pnee is rather higher than on the spoi ; for the spring mouths , it ia 4 ' 2 s . 6 d .

      Wool Markets—For bo' . h English and Foreign Wools there is a very steady inquiry ; and in some instances , rather improved rates have been paid for the finest combing qualities . Altogether the market is healthy . Since our last , the imports have comprised 271 bales from Odessa ; 62 from Hamburgh ; 523 from Port Beaufort ; and 10 , 00 from Sydney . Liverpool , Cork Market , Monday , Sept . 11 . — The impor : s of Grain , & ¦? ., sinco this day se ' unight are of very moderate amount : 3000 qrs . of Wheat and 800 qrs . of Peas are reported from Dantzi » . The duty on Wheat remains at I 4 i . per quarter until Friday next , when an advance ia expected . With & week of exceedingly fine weather great progress has been made in harvest operations throughout the kingdom , and prices of all descriptions ef grain have given way . The general runs of foreign Wheat havo

      declined in value by 3 i . to 4 . per bushel , whilst the finer qualities have receded rather more ; of the former , however , som 3 parcels were on Friday Jakea on speculation , and two or three purchases were made for Ireland . A few small lota of Irish new Wheat have sold av 7 s 3 d to 7 s 6 d ; the neighbouring farmers hava delivered freely at 7 s to 7 a 6 d per 701 bs ; the quality and condition of their samples generally good , some fine . No change as regards F our ; the quantity on the market small , Old Oats have been neglected , and are Id to 2 d per bushel cheaper . Prime marks of old Meal have latterly had a little more demand at 191 to 193 6 d per 240 ibs ; new has sold at 22 * 61 to 23 a . Of new Oats wo have had this week scarcely any at market ; they are quoted at 2 s 5 d to 2 s 7 d per 451 bs . Barley , Beans and Peas , arc each rather cheaper .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturdat , Sept . 9 . The weather has been of the most delightful character since our last report , and we hear , from all parts , that the crops are being secured in excellent order . During the week there was a fair consumptive demand for choice qualities of fresh manufaotui ed Flour , which ^ being scarce , readily realized our previous currency , whilst inferior descriptions were almost unsaleable . The inquiry for Oatmeal was very limited , without change in value . Of Oats and Flour , the imports from Ireland into Liverpool and

      Runcorn are to a fair extent , but of other articles thence and coastwise they are unimportant ; and , from foreign ports , 3008 quarters of Wheat are reported . The business passing in Wheat at onr market this morning was only limited , and was 2 d . per 70 Ibe . lower . For superfine qualities of Flour ( of which the stocks in all hands are extremely light ) there was a moderate demand at 42 * . to 44 s . per 28 Ulbs . ; but inferior sorts continued to meet a slow sale , although offered on lower terms . In Oats or Oatmeal no change was observable . New Oatmeal was saleable in retail parcels at 24 s . per 2401 bs .

      Liverpool Cattlb Market , Monpav , Sept . II . —We have had a heavy supply of Cittleat market to-day , which met with duU sale at a little variation in price . Beef 4 £ d . to 5 } d . Mutton 4 hd . to 5 ^ d ., Lamb 3 d . to 5 hd . per lb . Number of Cattle at market : —Beasts 1533 , Sheep 7573 . London Smithfield Catilb Market , Monday Sept . 11 . —We have to report the arrival of a fair average supply of beasts . The beef trade was decidedly more animated than for some weeks past , and in a few instances a trilling advance was obtained for the primest qualities . However , the highest quotation obtained for the best Soots did not exceed 4 s . per 8 I 03 ., but at that figure a good clearance was

      easily effected . The numbers of Skeep were good , but by no means extensive . There was certainly a better feeling in the Mutton trade , and the currencies obtained on this day se ' nnight were freely supported —those of the best old Downs realizing from 4 s . to 4 s , 4 d . per 81 bs . Lambs were in good supply , and the quotations had , in some instances , au upward tendency . The Veal trade was a ^ ain steady , and the best Calves produced 4 s . 8 d . per 8 . bs . Pigs were in moderate supply , and the quality of the stock was inferior . In store stock scarcely anything was doing . The imports of Foreign Beasts , since Monday last , have been confined to twenty-five , into London , by the Batavia steamer , from Rotterdam .
