      A CALL TO THE PEOPLE . Britain , long thy sons have eb . eriafc'd Tee remembrance of thy fame ; In thy cause brave hearts hsTB perjah'd To restore thy former name . Labour ' s claims -were once respected j Labonr then could life maintains But the poor , too long neglected , Groan beneath oppression ' s chain . By "what plea doth Tnn-n endeavour Thns his brother to oppress ? A 31-were equal bam ; then never Deign your tyrants to caress . Despots , though in temples dwelling , May not hope to chain the mind ; This , ail other power excelling , YetTrm free the human mind .

      KingB , by / vrarrier bands attended , Tremble at its growing power ; "While our cause , by truth defended , Strengthens with each coming hour . - AH the pffwei of pride elated Hath against our cause been hurled ; Bat , immortal , yet * ti « fated To give freedom to tie yrorli . Sons of labour ! dread no longer All the efforts of your foes : Once united , yon are stronger Than the tyrants yoa oppose . Though in dungeon depth is buried Hearts that beat in freedom ' s cause , Yet the flag which such have carried Soon Trill -win the world's applause .

      By the lore ye bear each other , Bj the knowledge you obtain , Once unite as friend and brother—This will freedom * battle gain . Then your children -vOl be tafcen Jam the ^ life-consTuning Tnin , And your shouts of joy awaken Every pulse to rapture ' s rjjni ]] . At the sickly loom so longer Ton will toil for felon fare ; When the people prove the stronger-, Nature ' s blessings all will share . Then for yon the earth its treasure In abundance will bestow ; Life -wfl ] thus be erown'd with pleasure , And each heart with joy o'etflo-w .

      "Brighter than the daws -when breaking O ' er the wild unfettered sea , WiD be the hour when all awaking Snail determine to be free . Ceeds . David Bos

      The Fobtiticatioits or Pabis . —A very simple , hat very curious , map of Paris has just b / en published in the French capital , apparently from the anthority of the engineers employed on tha fortifications , and apparently , also , perfectly accurate . It is % significant affair , a view of the fortresses snrrounding the city , with a circle drawn round each fortrees , describing the exact extent which the guns of each commasd . The result is such a combination of circles cutting each other ia all quarters , and throwing so many districts of the city under fire , as i 3 certainly unrivalled in the history of popular protection . The Faubourg St . Antoine enjoys this favour in a most remarkable degree , for reason , doubtless , best known to the engineer . We never saw a more expressive hint , and hope that some of

      our mapsellers will import this most amusing document , and indulge the world wiih a new view of French Cabinet dexterity . —Britannia . HrDBO-EiECTRic Machine . —A new machine , called the hydro-electrio , invented by Mr . Armstrong , and which js laid to be of greater power than any electrical machine before constructed , was exhibited on Thursday evening at the Polytechnic Insulation . The experiments performed were very brilliant , and went far to prove the assertion made respecting it . A shaving of wood was ignited by the electric spark , and an immense battery wa 3 charged by it in the short space of eleven seconds . The principle on which this machine is constructed is Eimple . It consists of a common tubular boiler ,

      isolated bymeans of glass supporters , and a telescope chimney , capable of being lifted off . The steam is let off by means of curved tubes , opening upon a box fiiled with a row of iron spikes , on which the steam is condensed . The steam , on being « let loose carries away the positive electricity from the boiler , leaving it in a negative state . The equilibrium is then restored to the boiler by means of a conductor brought near to it , and the electric spark is elicited . A novel kind of microscope , invented by Mr . Longbottom , was also exhibited . It reflected the objects upon a white ground , bringing out all the colours most perfectly . Several medallions were exhibited by it , and the effect was tolerable good ; but the arrangements , as we understood , were in an

      imperfect state—Aihenaum . The MA > xTACTCBrs of Viexsa . —Cotton weaving , is carried on exv-nsively in Vienna ; bnt the yarn is imported from England , the v&vsve spinners not haing able to compete with thoFe of Manchester , who possfcrs far greater advantages . To mention one only ; the Manchester spinners have a railroad to Liverpool , which enables them to pnrchaso the cotton in smailer quantities , as they may want it . They mav use it no to-day to the last thread , and send

      to-morrow to Liverpool for a new supply . It is therefore easy to follow every variation of price , buy small quantities when it is dear , and laTger when it is chea p ; whereas the spinners of Vienna , whether they will or not , must take largo quantities a-t any price , lest their work should come altogether to a Btand-still . In the lighter and more ornamental branches of manufacture , ihe Viennese excel in cheapness ; because graceful forms ^ r&ther than SDlid quality , are aimed at .

      # Pbopbrtt in Cincinnati . —Some idea of tho rapid rise of property in Cincinnati , may be formed irom tha following fact stated in the Enquirer . Forty ye&rs ago the Presbyterian . Society « t ' that city purchased an entire block situated on the comer of Fourth , and Walnut-streets , for sixteen dollars . A few days sinco a twenty-second part of the original block , composing a iot of ninety-nine feet was rented for 841 dollars per annual , which , at six p < r cent , interest is equal to a value of 14 , 025 dollars . If the entire block is calculated at the same rateand this ninety-nine feet is not more value than the average of the property—if now in market , and divested of the improvements made upon it , it would not be worth less than 314 , 550 , or almost 20 , 000 times its original cost .

      The Febocitt of thb Royal Bengal Tigeb . — In June last during the rains , as a native boatman was paddling in his " dipghfe" off the shore , near the estate of Mr ; Broadhead , in the Sunderbunds , he espied a royal Bengal tiger fast making hp to him . He immediately redoubled hiB spaed , bat finding his adversary rapidly gaining upon him , he became alarmed for his safety , and abandoning hia canoe , plunged into the water . The sanguinary brute , nothing disappointed , still continued to pursue his natant quarry , the man diving the instant he found hiB enemv anproacaing him . As the poor

      fugitive rose to the surface , for the purpose of venung , he was capable , of distinguishing the relative position between himself and the tiger , and eontriyed by that means to keep at a safe distance " from his pursuer , until the latter , completely worn but and exhausted , and finally foiled in his sanguinary object , turned back towards the jungle whence he proceeded . Had the boatman remained in his "dinghee " he would , most certainly , have been carried off , as it is a very common occurrence for the " dandees " ( native boatmen ) to be pakerowed" by tigers whilst in the act of paddling their canoes in the various rivers and " nullahs" of the Sunderbunds . —Bombay

      paper . Death in the Queen ' s Pbison . —An inquest was bolden on Monday in the Queen ' s Prison before Mr . Payne , city coroner , respecting the death of Mesheck Rowley , aged 44 , an inmate of the prison ,, wbo had died , it was alleged , from the want of the common necessaries of life . When the jury had returned from viewing the body , tbe Coroner said , it had been intimated to him that some of the prisoners wished to be present during the inquiry . Such as desired it were at liberty to come into the court , and , perhaps , some one among them would be ablo to throw some light upon the matter . Several of tthe inmates of the prison then entered the court , including among them : Mr . R . Oastler . Sarah Hines , of

      12 , Bermondsey New-road , was first examined . She stated that she knew the deceased , and had worked for him for the last twe years . He had been in prison a much longer time than that . He had been ill for the last twelve mouths . He received medical attention , but he continued to get worse until twelve o'clock on Saturday , when he died . She knew that he had often been without food , and had frequently offered him things , but he always declined to accept them . Sometimes he was in want of victuals , and had not the means of getting any . He waB occasionally without food during the winter , and he always refused what she offered him . Mr . W . Rowley , of Union-street , Nuwingtou Causeway , said he was cousin to the deceased . Ha frequently used

      to visit deceased formerly , but had not done bo recently . Deceased had been incarcerated in the prison upwards of ten years , and for the last nine months witness had not seen him . Mr . Richard Oastler next stated , that about tea days or a fortnight ago two gentlemen came into his apartments in the prison and informed him that deceased was in want of food , and was literally nothing more than skin and bone . After consulting together as to the best course to pursue , they decided upon waiting on Captain Hudson , the Marshal , and representing the case to him . They were most courteously received by that gentleman , and he ( Mr . Oastler ) believed that Captain Hudson had since done all that could be done for the deceased . Wine had been ordered , and

      everything that was wanted by deceased was supplied to him . Mr . Oastler further said , that the priaouera confined in that prison desired to make known to an intelligent jury , such as was then present , that there were many persons confined there whose feeling * were most bitterly stung . There were also several who were so proud that they would not submit to the degradation of swearing they wore not worth £ 10 . They would rather die than be subjected to be termed a pauper prisoner . It ought to be made known to the worid , that if their creditors were determined to keep them there , they ( 'he creditors ) ought to be obliged to furnish them with food and other necessaries . Major William Willan ,- an inmate of the prison , said that deceased had been for a long time without a bed to lie upon , so destitute was he . Witness had often relieved htm . The original illness be ( the witness ) had no doubt was

      brought on from want . Captain Hudson deposed , that deceased had been in the receipt of da per week for a considerable time , and besides that he ( the marshal ) had given him money , and he had also received different' sums from other quarters . As soon as his condition became known , a comfortable bed was provided for him , and other comforts and necessaries . Included in the 9 s was the county allowance . Mr . Jacobs , late M . P . for Dungarvan , paid that there was an odium cast upon the prisoners wbo received county money , on account of being obliged to take the oath , and being cast iu the rear of the building . Mr . Jacobs said he knew a man at present confined iu the prison who had not sat down to a meal for a month , because he would not take the oath . After some further observations from one or two of the inmates , the coroner summed up the evidence , and the jury returned a verdict of "Natural death . "

      Machinery and Hand Labour . —The population [ of Sheffield ] differs iu Several important respects from that ot many other manufacturing districts . The labouring classes are higher in intelligence , morality , and physical condition , than where machinery is extensively used , as in Manchester , Leeds , Nottingham , and 5 tockport . The middle classes are a greater proportion of the population than in these towns . The merchants and manufacturers among us are not men of large capital , exercising immense influence . They are very far from treadiDg on the heels of the aristocracy . These striking differences may be traced to the degree in which machinery is employed in the several important branches of manufacture . In this town , no improvements can

      supersede , to any great extent , the necessity for adult manual labour , as in the cotton , the woollen , and tbe silk departments ; consequently we perceive Jess misery , destitution , and itnorance smone . the arizins , and also less of the other extreme—opulence , and its extravagance—than in situations where the machine cheapens to the starving point the labour of the industrious mechanic . Many facts will be adduced in the subsequent pages in confirmation of these assertions . * * * The artizans have usually ao entire house for themselves , and the cases are indeed rare in which two families are found under the same roof . In Manchester nearly twelve per cent , of the population live in cellars ; and in the

      boreogh of Liverpool there is tho immense number of 7 , 862 inhabited cellars . In this town we do not know of one , and we are informed by the intelligent superintendent of the police that there is not an inhabited cellar . This is somewhat lemarkable . It would naturally be supposed , that where the largest fortunes were accumulated- ^ where Wealth , in fact , most abounded , the condi . ion of the labouring classes would be the most independent and com » brtab ] o . Such , however , appears not to be the case . We have no hesitation in asserting , that the artizans here , as a body , are vastly superior in intelligence , independence , and in the command of the necessaries and luxuries of life , to the same class in the above-mentioned towns . — Vital Statistics of Sheffield ,

      Discovery of a New Quadruped . —* L Audubon , the celebrated naturalist , in aietterof the 20 th of June last ,-written 130 miles above Fori Union , in latitude 41 . 10 N ., communicates , " with a transport of pleasure , " the " discovery of an animal which bids fair to become not only a valuable but a domestic one . " He had taken refuge in a wood during a storm , and saw two enormous beasts as play , such as he had never seen or heard of before , but somewhat resembling a kangaroo . A companion shot one of the animals—the other fled . The buffalo , or

      mountain elk , ( says M . Audubon ) , is notning in comparison to this animal , in the scale of worm . It aits on its hind legs ; its front legs or arms are short , but armed wiih short claws , and they bound or jump with their hind legs . They have a tail somewhat like that of a sheep , about ten inches long ; and round the middle of the body they have a ring of flesh about twelve inches wide and eight inches thick in the middle or centre , which produces a large quantity of oil . On their heads they have two horns very similar to the horns of tbe deer , but not more than eighteen inches long ; the bead is shaped a . so very like that of the deer , and has the same kind of teeth ; but what is more remarkable than all the rest , their coat is of the most beautiful fur I ever beheld , of a dark brown colour . The proportions of

      the one we killed were very great ; it weighed , to the best of our calculation , upwards of 600 ibs ., and it measured from the top of the head to the end of the tail Dine feet four inches , which appears to be their fall grown size . We had no sooner killed this one than some Indians , attraoted by the report of tae tIRq , joined as . Our interpreter conversed mih them : they said that in these woodlands these animals were in great abundance . They called it in their tongue the ke-ko-ka-ki , or jumper : they fed on grass , herbs , and foliage . Upon observing ub take off the skin , the Indians expressed a desire to have some of its flesh , which we gave them . We cooked flomeof the same , and found it delicious ; it was very white and tender , and tasted very similar to veal ; but the ring on the body was nearly all oil , and the whole upper part will produce a great quantity .

Beggs , at Bridgehousecottage , on Wednesday last , has given-rise to a proposal , originating , we believe , with some of the Edinburgh admirers of the bard , that as the three surviving sons of Burns are all at present in Scotl and , they ought to be invited to a public entertainmeat on the banks of the Doon , at as early a period as the necessary preparations will admit . If a meeting of this kind could be accomplished—if the sons of Burns accept the invitation , and were the arrangements properly gone about—we venture to say that the banquet would bo one of the mo 3 t magnifioient and nuaurousiy attended ever witnessed in this country—Ayr Observer .

      Ancient Coins . t-A singular discovery of ancient silver took place a few days since at Lower Cumberland Villa , near Bristol , the residence of Robert Smart , Esq . A man whilst employed in digging in the garden attached to this villa , waa very suddenly arrested in bis labours by the implement whioh he was using coming in contact with a hard and hoavy Bubstance . On separating the particles composing it a quantity of silver coins was discovered , some portion of them much discoloured , and the

      Burface of them consideralby roughened , presenting , in fact , the appearance assumed by metals after having been submitted to the action of fire . The mottoes of some of the coins are still legible , and three of them present on the obverse the . bust of good Queen Bess , although considerably effaced ; on the reverse of these are , the royal arms and thodatos 1571 , 72 and 95 . There are also coins of the reigns of Edward &th , Charles 2 nd , and of other sovereigns of England . How and when these treasures were secreted may long remain a mystery .

      iNVBRGdHDON . —A SINGULAR SCENB . —As it Was generally understood that B . B . Macleod , younger , of Cadboll , intended to revisit his paternal roof on Tuesday last , after a long absence , the spirited inhabitants of Invergordon resolved to meet him in procession , and greet him with a suitable address . Unfortunately , however , Church politics ( which it might have been better to lay aside on such an occasion ) prevailed , and divided the procession into two unfriendly parties , eaoh furnished with an address , eager to present it . Oa meeting the carriage , a highly respectable gentleman ( Mr . Gregor , banker ) , of moderate Church politics , essayed to read an address , which was speedily snatched out of bid hands , and torn to pieces . A non-imrusionist made a similar attempt , attended with a like result , when a row commenced , which ended in a manner fatal to several ccat-tails and hats .

      Fires in thb Methopolis . —On Friday night ( Sept . 22 ud ) , several fires occurred . One at Mr . Webber ' s , ooaebmaker , Lambeth . The fire originated in the workshop attached-to Mr . Webber ' s residence , and ., from the combustible nature of the materials which were deposited in it , it soon fella victim to the devastating element . The flames ascended to a great height , and illumined the sky for many miles round ; in consequence , several fireengines , and great crowds of persons were immediately on the spot . It was early ascertained , however , that it would be futile to attempt to save the workshop ; but as the supply of water was plentiful , and a constant stream nas kept up , the house attached and adjoining premises sustained little damage . Just as the firemen had succeeded in getting this fire somewhat under , information was received that , a destructive ono had broken out in the

      Waterloo-road , whither several of the engines at this time , then about to return home to their respective stations , immediately proceeded , and : on the first arriving ( which was that belonging to the Watling-s ! . reet station ) , it was found to be raging on the premises of Mr . Harvey , cabinetmaker and uphols terer , situate on the east side , of the above road , within a fpw doors of St . John ' s Church . There being a ready supply of water the first engine was immediately got to work , Mr ; Brauiwood having directed the hose to be conducted through the adjoining houses on to the roofa , so as to enable the firemen to have a better command of the devouring element . In the meantime other of the brigade engines had come up , and not a moment was lost

      in getting them into play , but . it was evident to them all that the destruction of the premises was almost inevitable , as the flames were rushing out with great violence from almost every aperture in the building . The brigademen exerted themselves , however , to their utmost , adopting every practicable scheme which would end to check the ravages of the fire , and after three-quarters of au hour of hard toil , they so far pucceeded in their purpose as to confine the fire to the premises in which it originated , although they are all but destroyed . The inmates , it is understood , escaped without reoeiviug the slightest injury , but the loss ^ f property must be considerable , and whether it is insured or not , owing to tho great confusion , could not be ascertained .

      Another alarming conflagration broke out on the premises of Mr . Ling , working culler , Jewin-streetj Aldersgate , ' the upper floor of whose house is occupied as a workshop . His men left their work at the usual hour last evening , when the lights were extinguished and everything left apparently safe . The alarm was given almost simultaneously about halfpast nine o ' e ' ock , by a resident in the lower part of the house , who perceived a strong smell of fire , and by a policeman , who observed the glare of light through the factory windows , and bo completely bad the destructive element worked its way , that before the first engine arrived the fUmes had penetrated the roof and threatened the entire destruction of the

      premises . . Before ten o ' clock , however , several engines were got to work , and by the judicious use of a copious supply of water , the fire was confined to the upper stories of the house . At one period the r < flection of the flames was visible in all parts of the metropolis ; and it is a most fortunate circumstance that the lire originated in the upper floor , aa under other circumstances the consequences , would necessarily haveheen much more serious . The workshop contained several larjce iron vices and other heavy machinery , which it was feared even after the fire was «; ot under , would carry the fiw .-i with them . Tho loss sustained by . Mr . Lnig mtm bo very rerious , though iho property was uutijraioou to be yzviiy uirurcd .

After removing a large mass of eanh of a tumular form , and a large stone beneath it , a tomb was discovered in perfect preservation . It was formed of slabs cemented together with ia wax like substance , which , on exposure to the air . acquired the hardness of stone . Io the tomb were found a massive gold chain about nineteen feet in \ length , the links of which were rouna , and six in ! number ; fix small arrows , formed of transparent flint ; three lanoe heads , one of which was of solid silver , about eighteen inches in length , and a sword .

      Gold Fjshfs . —A correspondent tells os , that ** a glass globe , about fourteen inches in diameter , halffilled with water , which contained some gold fish , having beep placed near a window exposed to the rays of the sun , was found to set fire to the chair on which it was placed , after having beeeu perhaps , half an hour so situated . Had it not been accidentally discovered , the house would probably have been set fire to .

      Shelving . —Much excitement has at times been raised aeainst the truck system , and many indeed are its evils ; but there' is another system of fraud and oppression practised by the bag hosiers upon the poor workmen , and that is shelling . In any flatness of trade , real or prstended , the bagmen ( and the more wealthy practise this the most ) give out cotton to their men , " as a favour , to keep them from starving , " to be worked up at a lower price , the hose to be laid on the shelf to wait till the hosier may receive an order . Now this has been carried to such an extent , that there . appears to bea regular " order " or taking in" price and a " shelf price . " It is

      needless to say , that the hosiers , having the poor fellows under their thumbs , get all the goods they can made on the latter terms . The following instance , which took place at Sutton-in-Ashfield , will show the evil : a great bagman , who had given out cotton to some men out of pure good will ' * at the low or shelf-price , " lately called one of these workmen out of bed , and " blew him up" for not taking in his work on th *> previous evening , as he knew he , the master , always took home his work on chat day , and the order could not be completed without the " workman ' s portion .

      London Cobn Exchange , Mondat , Sept . 25 . — During the past week , as well as fresh up for market , coastwise and by land carriage , a fair average timo of year supply of English Wheat has been received . As the quality of the new Wheat was by no means first rate , and the supply of old very small , the former sold at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'anight , while old parcels ware la per qr . dearer , with a fair inquiry , and scarcely anything remained over unsold .

      Notwithstanding the show of fine Foreign Wheat was larger , that article met an active demand , and ia some instances higher prices , say Is per qr . There was very little English Bariey on show , but the supply of Foreign being good caused the trade to rule heavy , and the rates suffered an abatement of Is per qf . The Malt trade again ruled dull , nevertheless we can notice no alteration in prices . In Beans not much was doing , at late rates . Grey Peas were scarce , and the turu- . bigher . The Flour trade ruled slow , at previous quotations .

      London SMrrBFiELD Cattle Market , Monday , Skfp . 25 th . —The arrivals of beasts put up to-day were lees than those received this day se'nnight , and considered scanty for the time of year . Still , however , they were fully equal to meet the wants of the buyers . Although the general quality of the bullock supply was very inferior , as regards its weighing qualities , scarcely any cases of the prevailing epidemic was observed amongst' it . Owing to the number of really prime beasts bemRjemaU , the demand for iUen *~ wao-c « tn < r " wh 6 ie steady , at prices fully equal to those obtained on Friday last , or from 3 s 81 to 3 s 10 J per 8 ibs ; but otherwise the beef trade was in a depressed state , and previous rates with difficulty supported . The supply of Sheep amounted tb a fair average , but their quality was

      by no means first rate . The Mutton trade was decidedly healthy , but we can notice no improvement in last week ' s currencies , those of the best old Downs ruling at from 4 s to 4 s 44 per 81 bs , at which a good clearance was made . As the lamb season may now be considered as rapidly drawing to a close , this is the last time we shall make any distinction between the prices of Lamb and Mutton . Oa Friday Lambs sold briskly at an advance of from 2 d to 43 per 81 bs , but to-day the trade Was excessively heavy , and a depression of quite 4 d per 81 bs was submitted to in figures , the very highest not exceeding 4 s 81 per 8 ; bs . Calves were in moderate supply , and fair demand , at last week ' s quotations . The Pork trade ruled inactive , nevertheless previous rates were supported . Nearly 300 Pigs were oa offer from Ireland .

      Borough Hop Mabket . —Since our . last report nearly 2 , 800 pockets of new hops have come to hand from Kent and Sussex , in excellent condition . As the supply is more than adequate to meet the wants of the buyers , and the prospect for a crop good , the demand is heavy , and prices bave a downward tendenoy . The accounts from the plantations being contradictory , the duty has fallen to £ 135 , 000 and £ 140 , 000 . Mid Ken * Pockets , £ 6 . to £ 6 15 s ; ditto Sussex , £ 5 10 s to £ 6 33 per cwt . In bid hops

      so little 13 doing that their value is quite nominal . Borough and Spitalfields . —The arrival of Potatoes , from distant parts have at length commenced , we having received , in the past week , about 350 tons from Channel Islands , 100 tons from Scotland , 250 tons from Yorkshire , and 600 tons from Essex , Kent , snd Suffolk ; while from France , Belgium , Holland , and Germany , nearly 90 tons have come to hand . The quality of the former ia exceedingly good , but tnat of the latter is inferior . The present range of prices is from £ 3 10 a to £ 5 10 a per ton .

      Wool Markets . —The imports of Wool from all quarters have been qaite unimportant since our last , yet the stocks on hand are seasonably large . For fine qualities , of both English and Colonial , we have a firm demand , at very full prices , but in other kinds not much , business is doing . Tallow . —The market is still-depressed , partly on account of the weather and the expectation of a large arrival , but the price has not given way much . Fine P . Y . C . may be had at the quotations of this morning . We have about 3 , 000 casks arrived not included in the stock ; and we have letters from St .

LivEBPooi Corn Market , Monda y , September . 25 . —Duringthe past week we have bad a moderately fair supply of Irish new Wheat and Oatmeal , but of other articles of the trade the imports are of small amount . Continued complaints of deficient vield of Wheat from the southern and some of the midland

      counties have given inoreased firmness to the trade . Since our last report several parcels of the middling qualities of foreign Wheat have changed hands on speculation . Irish new has also been taken Utterly on similar account , . and with a moderate demand from the dealers we have to note a range of prices 24 to 4 d per bushel above the quotations then given . Flour is Is . per sack dearer . The market has been almost void of Oats ; fine Irish mealing may be quoted at 2 i 6 dto 2 s 7 d per 451 bs . Old Meal has been in tolerably good demand at 19 s to 19 s 6 M per 2401 bs ; new 22 j to 22 a 6 d per load . No change as regards Barley , Beans , or Peas .

      Livebpooi . Cattle Mabket , Monday , Sept . 25 « - ^ The supply of Cattle at market to-day has not been quite so large as last week , and the greatest portion of second rate quality , consequently any thing good was eagerly sought after , aud sold at a little advance in price . Beef . 4 id to 5 d * Mutton 4 d to $ taY Manchester Cobn Mao&ket , Saturday , Sept . 23 . —There was a goed demand for choice qualities of new and old Flour during the week , whioh took off all the supplies on arrival , at full , and , ia Bomo in 8 tanee 3 , rather higher prices : and inferior- sorts , of which the stocks are much , reduced , likewise met an improved sale at former rates . A fair inquiry was experienced for both old and new Oatmeal at

      the previous currency . Of the leading articles of the trade tbe arrivals at Liverpool , from Ireland , are to a fair amount ; but , from abroad , there are only a few cargoes of Wheat and Flour reported . Coastwise , and from the interior , supplies continue light . There was a good attendance at bur market this morning , and , on old Wheat and good dry samples of new , we note an advance of 2 d per \ 7 Plbs .
