      j IN the Prospectus whioh tho NORTH AMERICAN LAND | AGENCY has already published their views , it is hoped , have been sufficiently explained as regards the promotion of Emigration to Lands and Estates , purchased through its intervention ia Canada , &p . The Agents ooafidently submit , however , that the same views , { more fully developed , may be made essentially useful , not only to the unemployed classes in this country , but also to those who are possessed of some capital , though insufficient in amount to secure , of itself , their permanent welfare and prosperity . It wi'l be admitted that Emigration has heretofore been conducted on a systom productive , in the aggregate , of much individual hardship and distress—and especially io the Emigrant of the poorer class ; for on arriving at his port of debarkation , he has found himself , igenerally speaking , with little or no money !) and no friends to assist him in procuring work , or even to point out in what part of the Province he would be most likely to obtain it , —while he who possessed some little capital has met with similar difficulties , in making ; choice of a location . Canada , though all things considered , perhaps the most important of our colonies , is virtually a terra incognita—simply because there is no one willing , if able , to afford the requisite information to those who seek it , and it is this deficiency whioh it i the aim and object of the Agents effectually to remedy . ; There are hundreds in Great Britain anxious to emigrate , but who , from want of sufficient means are deterred from , or suable to do so . To such the Agents can offer facilities heretofore unthought of , and unattainable ; for example : —A man having no , more than £ 100 , would not better his situation by emigrating to Canada as an agriculturist—for the purchase of his Land , and the unavoidable preliminary expenditure thereon , the expence of conveyance thither , and his support , however frugal , until his first crops were gathered in , would absorb more than his entire capital , even under the most favourable circumstances . Such a capital , on the contrary , would be found not only sufficient on tbe plan proposed by the Agents , as hereafter explained , but at the same time , immunity from the usual hardships and privations would be secured , and to the prudent and industrious a comfortable and permanent competentcy in the future . i But the great body of our emigrating population is composed of persons having no capital whatever , generally without even the means of paying their passage-money to a Colony , however approximate to the mother country . The sufferings which too often bafal these poor people , are greater than would be generally believed—not on shipboard , for there they are now well-cared for , owisg to the strictness with which the wholesome regulations of the * Passengers' Act '" are enforced by tha Government Emigration Agents here and in Canada . It ia on their arrival in the Colony that the struggle really commences , a struggle not confined to the mere labourer , but more or less participated in by the small capitalist to whom reference was first made . ; He must searoh for his Land in a country , to the localities of iwhich , its soil and seasons , he is a perfect stranger ; and when selected , however judiciously , he must live upon his own resources until the ensuing harvest . He must erect his own log house , clear and . fence his land , wasting valuable time , and spending much of his already too scanty capital unprofitably , from inexperience in the work he has undertaken . ; The former , on landing at his destined port , applies for work , which if unattainable on the spot , hemust seek for elsewhere , or starve . If without funds , he is provided [ by the Emigration Agent appointed by Government , with a free passage in a steam boat to wherever he chooses to go , and then every resource but his own labour ceaseB . It may not be irrelevent to mention , that the money thus expended in Canada ia 1842 , was £ 18 , 161 ; a ^ id ia 1843 , nearly £ 9 , 000 ; Emigration in the'latter year having fallen off SI per oent . as compared with the former : a plain preof of the generally helpless condition of our emigrating brethren , and that the distret-s alluded to is far from being exaggerated . The Agents will now proceed to state as briefly as possible , those remedial measures which they ar sanguine enough to hope may remove in a great degree , if not altogether , the evils complained of . It has be . n observed in the first prospectus' that the Agent in LoridoH has for . sale upwards of 600 , 000 Acres of Land in different parts of Upper and Lower Canada ; and it is in a great degree owing to the exceedingly low terms on which the Agents are authorised to dispose of some of the best of these properties , \ that they are enabled to offer to the consideration of the public tha following scheme : — I The statement marked A shows , that with no greater capital than £ 77 , a single man , forming , one OF a party of not less than ten FAMILIES , or principals , will acquire in fee simple , or Freehold , | Lain-i to the extent of 100 Acres . That for a man and his wife , or two single men . the capital required j will be only £ 87 , or £ 43 lOi . each ; with one child , £ 92 5 s ., or £ 30 153 . each ; the amount per head I decreasing as the numbers in a family increase . ] . It has been remarked , that with 60 small a Bum at command as £ 100 , the agriculturist would not better his condition by emigrating ; and it is presumed that the reasons given are a sufficient evidence of the fact . The plan now submitted goes , however , to prove that even this small stock of money caa be made not only ample for all useful purposes , but will leave a fund to meet contingencies . The statement marked B shows in like manner the ctpital required to entitle the Emigrant to 50 ; Acres of Land in Freehold , and this scale is intended to apply to those who depend upon the assistance ; of others , partially or wholly , to enable them to emigrate . i I To this table the Agents bespeak the especial attention of those who support Emigration from j benevolent views . Looking at the brightest side of the pictura , it has been , to the poor man , merely a transition from labour in one country , to labour in another , with tho ] prospect , if successful , of saving in the course of years , sufficient to procure those advantages which are j here offered him on setting foot in Canada . Nofc only will he be exempt from the prospect of want , provided of course he be prudent and industrious , but he will bo spared those hardships and privations heretofore inseparable from the change of home and country ; and secure to himself a state of oomtort and independence beyoadsay expectations he could ever have ventured to indulge in . \ The public may fairly require some guarantee beyond the mera character of the Agents , that they have the power as well as the inclination , faithfully to carry out that which they undertake to perform . ! Such a guarantee they are prepared to offer , and in a form which they trust will be approved of They propose— [ That when the purchase is made , the money contributed by eaoli family or principal shall be placed in the hands of tho Bankers of the Agency , in London , in the joint names of the Agent in London , and * some one appointed by the Settlers , to be applied in the manner following , viz .: — ; 1 . To pay the purchase money of the Land bo soon as the Title Deeds of the same , legally executed in the Colony , are delivered over to tho Purchasers . - ; 2 . To defray the Passage Money of the Settlers in ihe manner usually practised in Emigrant , Ships , and j 3 . To repay all other disbursements undertaken by the Agonts , so as , but not before , the Settlers shall have arrived on their location , and are therefore ia actual possession of the settlement prepared for them . ¦ i North Amorican Land Agency , RICHARD NORMAN , ) No . 2 , New Broad Street , London . , Agent in London . j STATEMENT A Table , shewing tho amount required to be paid by each Family according to the number of its members , to entitle them to a Freehold Farm of 100 Acres , a Free Pa * age to Canada ; three Months ' Provisions after their arrival at the Settlement ; and a participation in all the advantage , offered by the Agency , which are as follows : — } ] 1 . —A Log House to bo built on each Farm .

An nnwilling 3 Iin 5 s , try was compelled to listen to onr complaints . A Bill was passed in 1 S 33 to ameliorate the condition of the poor factory alaves .

      the Crown , the power to reverse the decision of the House of Commons ? There is no such principle in our constitution ! The Minister who dares to nsnrp that power is a Dictator—unknown , nnrecognisea by our institutions : i Ti&n comes the question—Will you also , like the House of Commens , bow to his dictation ? Will you be content , after all your labonrs and tseitions , at the ; Maying of Sir S . Peel , to abandon the Ten Hour Bill ? . If w , ys are Conservatives , bnt not trus men !

      that ? The Befonn Bill was not founded on the principle of the constitution It "was an innovation , resting entirely upon the usurped power of psoperty . It might increase the number of voters , for a ime ; but it destroyed the constitutional principle , it curtailed tha b&sio of representation . Seek for the restitution of that principle of wbich the Reform Bill deprive ' , yon . Call it » t wthat have tou ttill ,

      IT IS THE UNIVERSALITY OP REPRESENTATION , embracing erery order , elssa , and party in the State , giving to none the preponderating Influence , refusing to Done Its rightful share . The despotism of Sir R . Prel , the cringing servility of the Beforned House of Commons , has , if our institutions are not to be sacrificed—if the just claims of th « pjor are to be restored—if the House of Cemmans is to maintain its independence of the Prime Minister—rendered this return to constitutional principle * absolutely necessary .

      Believe me , my friends , I am convinced , as I told you when the Reform Bill was proposed , that the institutions of thia country can never be maintained under the unconstitutional constituency established by that Act . I appeal to yon—Has not the reformed House of Commons made more fearful inroads on the rights of the people than any preceding Parliament ? Has it not been the faithful representative of its own constituency ? Eise , why the New Poap Law ? Why a Dew-failed » nny ef Police 7 Why the refusal of every measure calculated to ameliorate the condition of the poor ? Why the constant advance in the principle of universal competition , forcing our labour into competition with that of foreigners , not only abroad , but e ? en in our home market ?

      The rejection of the Ten Hour Bill by Sir R . Peel , and consequently by the Legislature , has forced from me these remarks , Being resolved , as I suppose yon are , to obtain that Bill , I should not have forgiven myself had I withheld these observations from you . I have pondered deeply on the present position of onr affairs ; my opinion is formed afttr the meet serious reflection and closest examination of all the circumstances of this most important case . The pitiful subterfuge to which Sir R . Peel resorted , the contemptible sneers that fee levelled at Lord

      Ashley , while he jeeringly taunted his lordship about moral -wrong , " proved tnat the Premier wos devoid of argument ; for be pretended that U was impossible to pronounce what is and what is not " morally wrong P Yes ; in the nineteenth century—in England—in the House of Commens , the Prime Minister founded his opposition to the Ten Honr Bill on that dogma ! He pretended that if the women and young persons iu factories were relieved from their excessive labour , greater ev'ls would overtake them— Rreater miBery would he inflicted on others ; and thus he justified their acknowledged wrong .

      He complained of the & > J > kuUy of regulating factory labour on the principle ol humanity , forgettiDg that that difficulty was consequent on the too long refusal of the Lsgislatare to adopt the advice of bis late father ; forgetting , also , that the greater difficulty demanded the more speedy attention . If there be no cure for the vast evils of which we complain , then it is proved that onr condition is hopeless , and , as sure as the Word of God is true , we are on the verge of national ruin . We , however , yield to no such fears ; wt know that there is a remedy ; and although our intricate social arrangements { having been left so loug withoui th « restraining and regulating infuences of th « constitution ) may have rendered the application d \ flcult , -n-e are persuaded of its efficacy , aud count it rca . iness to shrink from its application because of the difficult nature of its operation . D .-lay can but incre ; ise the difficulty , it must add to our danger .

      Our present system is ruinous . Let any man read the following letter , written by one of you , ( Robert w ^ s at Huddersfield on Shrove Tuesday , ) and say , could it ever be intended that machinery should thus ncman tht lords of tho creation ? Where is the man who will deny that that nation must fall which builds its " property * ' on such foundations ? Read Pounder's letter : it brings the matter home , by telling of ono , out of hundreds of thousands of the victims of the misapplication of machinery . TO MB . B . 1 CHABD OASTLEK ..

      With thise fue Words I will Conclude hoping you are well in Both Body and Soul as also Mrs . OaBtler and Daughter God Bless you and I still reman Your affectionate "Subject " till Death , Robeet Pounder , How say you ? Is poor Jack ' * a solitary case f Yon know better—many of you ate in poor Jack ' s condition ! " But , '' says one , " you forget the wealth which the proprietors of tbe machinery are accumulating . " Not I—that wealth , so gotten , is its owners' and tbe nation ' s curse . One short anecdote , and the case will be complete . I was returning home the other day from Leeds ; I mot a pot-hawker . He asked me , " can you tell me , Sir , why I am forced to carry this basket ? " He then turned up bis coat sleeve to show his wrist , proving that h- had been a cropper . I said , ' It is the

      misapplication of machinery . * ' You are right , " tejo ned the man . "I Berved seven years' apprenticeship to my trade , and followed it twenty years ; but now they have taken it from me , and driven me te pot-selling . 1 could make twenty-four shillings a-week at my own trade—by this , I make an uncertain trifle , perhaps five or seven shillinga . Now , Sir , will you answer me another question : What right has any man to take MY trade fromme . without giving me a better ?• ' I answered htm constitutionally , when I said , " No man bftS that riqht . "— " Christianity is pan anfl parcel of the law of Eagland ? ' It is written , " Love worketh no ill to his neighbour . " In that query is embodied the great ques > tion of tbe age . It is one that must be soon answered by our statesmen , or settled by some " untoward eveDt "

      The tale of Jack and Job , and that of tbe pothawker , are worthy the profoundest Btudy of the British Government They may talk about " prosperity" as they will , rottenness is at the bottom of our institutions , xchen our national wealth is consequent on the decay of our men . I renumber , about ten years ago , the King was made to boast , iu his speech , of " Commercial Prosperity ; " then the hand-loom weaveia were working fourteen hoars a-day , and feeding on carrion ! It ia not the rapid accumulation of wealth that constitutes the strength of a nation ; it is a numerous , happy , an £ prosperous people . Let no man say that I am an enemy to machinery—I believe it is intended to become a blessing to tbe people ; but , I am sure , -with the late Sir K . Peel , that its misapplication is proving Bagland ' a " bitterest curse . "

      The late attempt to regulate railways , proves that Sir R . Peel is half convinced of tbe truth of the great principle I have endeavoured to inculcate . Tho truth is , my friends , if we cannot discover the proper application of machinery , it will , at no very distant period , break up this social system . Neither K ngs , Queens , Dikts , nor Barons , can make head agatnat its uncontrolled power . Until we get a Minister able and willing to grapple with thit question , we ' hall go on heapiug uplargemassua of wealth on the decay of mxn , and thus pave the way to irremediable ruin t Be not beguiled by what , is called the present " prosperity" —it is only hastening the crisis—increasing ( he accumulation—spreading ihe decay !

      Let us , however , not be disheartened j we have forced Sir R Pkel to act upon tbe principle he repudiates . Most reluctantly has he consented to protect women from night work in the mills : " thus , " as you v ; fcll observe , " acknowledging the great principle for which we have so arduously struggled , and affording to xu > tbe cheering hope ttm , finally , the great principle of protection of labour will be fall / established , and made to embrace all the ran ^ flcjlions of British industry . " We ought &lao to be tha&kful that wo have , by constart repetition of the wrongs of the factory workers , bten the means of turning tho minds of our statetmen , '• . nd of the tress , to ihe consideration of the condition of tbe poor . It v ? as not usual , formerly , to allude to their case ; now , it formB a constant subj . ct of remark , both in Parliament and by tbe press . To is fact is most encouraging , and never foils to yield me joy .

      The debate * on tae amendment of the Poor Law Amendment Act have also . , as you observe , fnrnished *• matter of congratulation . " It ie now admitted by the most Btrenuou 3 friends of tbe New Poor Law that that measure iB a failure . They repudiate tha very principles on wbich they formerly defended it , and have tlius justified our opposition to its enacUnant . True , " the amendment is for short of what justice requires , and we demand" ; but it ia a proof that tbe philosophy on which the N-jw Poor Law is founded will not stand the teBt of experience , and that " the new ligkt that has risen with Malthua" is darkness . How often tmve I assured you that the principles of that law and the principles of the British constitution could never unite 1 Now , that truth is admitted by the Legislature .

      Soon they will be forced to acknowledge that the three Somerset House law mokers cannot exist with an independtat Legiclaxure of Qaren , Loris , and CjEUm- « ns;—soon th . y must confrss that the Church and Ur . ionsaro irreconcilable , ot that England ' s Church ia not tbe Church of the poor;—econ they must admit that the title of private property can only be eecure when founded on tho right of the poor to liberty and life . Yea , ray . friends , our labours have not been in vain ; we have broken in on that citadel of iniquity ; our governors will ere loci ; find that their ancestors were wiser than they , and that the constitutional Crown of England can only be secured by tbe reestablishment of the paiechial system of self-governmen * , and tbe en ' . ire abandonment of those new-fangled schemes of tyranny jarritd on by comnikMOuers , and upheld by police . Brmember , however , that tbis is the time tot action — tbe toe has left his fortresses—it is yours " to pursue him till he yields !

      I will not allude to the attacks made upon me by a small portion of th ^ press . I leave their " calumnies " and their object " to prolong my captivity" to thu cairn consideration of the parties who thua attempted to destroy me , assuring them that I grieved only for themselves . I sorrowed that political or peraonal hatred could so far lead thtm to forget that they were men ! I tbank you for your " prayers" and good wisheBfor your " determined pledge of support in every Bense of the word , " and for your promise " never to desert the good cause , but to persevere , without ceasing , for tke restoration « f the piinciple of protection to British industry , on shore and on ship-board , in tbe factory and tbe field , in the mine and in the workshop . " And s » , commending you to the care and guidance of God , the fatter of us all , ^ nd imploring yo u never to forjjet the allegiance you owe to Him , I hid you farewell .

      GnEAT Firs at Deptford . —On Friday morning , at the early honr of two o ' clock , tbe neighbourhood of High-street , Deptford , and its immediate vicinity , was aroused from Ha rsual qufetude by the outbreak of a most disastrous fire upon tbe premises in the occupancy of Mr . P . iTks , butcher , situate at No 12 , Flagocrow , within a short diotance of tbe railway station . Tbe building contained only six rootnB , but it extended backwards a considerable distance , and was closely bounded on either side by shops and dwellings . The issue of a great sheet of flames from the kitchens , over the roof , caused some of tbe neighbours to make the alarming discovery . At that time Mr . and Mrs Forts , with a female domestic , were in their beds , asleep , and nearly ten minutes were lost in making them fully

      sensible of tbe great danger to which they were ex- posed . After repeated knockings at tho Btreet-door , ! they at last nude their appearance at the front window . A ladder , was procured from tbe public-house ' opposite , and with assistance the inmates all effected their > escape , and without meeting with any personal injury . ' The intelligence having ¥ een sent to Her Majesty ' s ' Dockyard , with all speed Mr . Inspector Field started ' le the spot with one of the engines belonging to that ' establishment . Its efficacy , however , waB greatly re- tarded in consequence of no water being procurable i from the mains . During the time lest in waiting ' for water the fire continued to spread with morel than usual rapidity , and in less than half an ' hour from its first discovery , it had travelled I

      through every portion of tbe premiBea , and had communicated to the houses on each eidu . The scene then became one of painfol excitement . The roofs and flrat-fl' > ora of Noa . 13 and 11 , occupied respectively by Mr . Turner , tailor , and Mr . Nelson , cheesemonger , were blezing away moat furiously , whilst tbe inmates were busily engaged below in tbe-r nightdresses removing what little of their property they could lay their hands upon . Tbe flre still progressing , a mounted police constable was despatched to town , requesting the aid of the London engines . Immediately upen the intelligence reaching Southwatk Bridge station , Mr . Henderson , © ne of the chief effioers of the London Brigade , proceeded to the scene with his engines , and firemen belonging to the West of England

      Company . Before water couM be obtained from the mains the fire bad made such ravages that Mr . Parks ' 8 premises w « . re all but consunu d , and the heat jwas so great , thrt at one time it was greatly feared the whole row of buildings on the opposite Bide ? of the road would become ignited . To keep them cool water was frequently discharged against them . After the lapse of about an honr water began to fl . w from the Kent Water Company ' s pipes , from wbich the Dockyard engine was set to work , and with tbe aid of the police and firemen the names were , at half-paBt four o ' clock , mastered , and in the course of another half-hour or so they were completely extinguished . The total damage is very considerable , and is fully detailed in tha subjoined certified report , aa Bent to Mt . Braickwood , the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade .

      More Infernal Machines . —A writor in the Sun who w&ns himself Crito Curiosa , addressing Captain Warner , asserts that ho is possessed of an internal machine which beats tlie Captain ' s all to nothing , tie 8 aja;—Now , Sir , the darling object of sour drearm for years past can be done , and by means , the application of which ia perfectly simple , and which you , Sir , cannot accomplish . There is an individual wlio will perhaps bo shortly called upon to prove this position , and that person would have no objection to go on the vessel prepared for you and with a piece of ordnance of long range , if allowed to have one shot at the doomed vessel , and almost at double the range the piece is usually effective , will so far destroy the doomed vessel as to leave you

      Sir , nothing to do . This person , too , will perform his experiment before assembled thousands . No trickery will be resorted to- ^ -all will bo plain and above board ; and , what ia infinitely of more value , tho means aro not only applicable , but easily adaptable to the present engines of warfare , can be managed with perfect easo and safety by thos ^ , already iu tho elnploy , of ordnance , and more ecop . omical than even the present admitted system generally practised . Again , the main secret can dp ,, fcept from others by Government ; whilst yours , Si- . . , could not be kept six hours . Indeed , I may - say , it ib

      well known ( at least in its general principles ) even now , and as a discovery for general application , not worth one farthing . i wisn for no better position than to prove yp urg aa infernal of little use . Another oorre ? - pondent of the Sun defends the Captain again 3 * the attacks of his assailants .

      London Corn Exchange , Mondat , September 9 , —Since this day se'anight the arrivals of English Wheat for oar market hare been somewhat on the increase , though by no means extensive . Of most other articles of grain , both of home and foreign produce , the receipts hare fallen off . Oaly a limited quantity of Wheat came to hand from our various districts , coastwise as well as by land carriage , but nearly the whole of it was of the present year ' s growth , and of fair average quality . The attendance of buyers being rather numerous , and the show of really fine dry samples small , the demand for most kinds of English Wheat was rather firm , at prices quite equal to those obtained on this day se ' nnight , and at which a good clearance was effected by the

      factors . The accounts received from the south of England and other quarters , state that harvest work is rapidly drawing to a conclusion , under the most favourable auspices . The show of fine Foreign Wheat was by no means large . Fine dry qualities were a ready sale , at very full prices . In other kinds next to nothing was doing . Corn under look wag a mere drug ; indeed , scarcely a single transaction was reported in it . About 100 quarters of new English Barley were on show , and which found bnyers at from 32 s to 36 a per quarter . Malting Barley ( Foreign ) was quite as dear , with a steady inquiry ; but in grinding aad distilling sorts very little was doing . Although the show of Malt wsg small , the trade with the article was wholly retail

      at barely stationary prices . The eupply of Oata was much smaller than for some time past , yet the sale for it was far from brisk . However , previous inquiries were fully supported . Beans and Peas , the supplies of which were limited , moved off steadily at full prices , The demand for Flour was dull , at previous rates . In Seeds Very little was doing , and prices were hardly maintained . ' London Smithfirld Cattle Mabket . —Tho numbers of Beasts on sale were much less than those exhibited on this day se ' nnigbt , yet they were good for tho time of year , and , for the most part , of excellent quality . The attendance of both London and country buyers being numerous , the Beef trade was tolerably steady , at prices quits equal to those

      obtained last week , and at which the whole of the supply was disposed of . The imports of live stock from abroad in the past week have consisted of about 70 Oxen and Cows for the United Kingdom . To-day there were 10 offering from Rotterdam , the general quality of which exhibited a decided improvment over previous importations . The bullock droves from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , and Northamptonshire , consisted of about 1 , 300 short horns . From Norfolk . Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , we received 360 Scots and homebreds ; from the Western and Midland districts , 400 Herefords , Runts , Devoas

      &c . ; from other parts of England . 300 of various breeds : and from Scotland , 200 horned and polled Scots . Ttie numbers of Sheep were tolerably extensive , while the inquiry for them was rather betcer than last week , aud prices were freely supported . The sale for Lamb was very inactive , yet we can notice no alteration in prices . The number of Calves was moderately good . Prime descriptions of Veal were a steady inquiry , at full currencies ; in other kinds , very little was doing . Pigs were a fair average supply , and heavy inquiry , at previous rates . Both the Beasts and Sheep were suffering but little from disease .

      Borough Hop Market . —Several new pockets of Hops have been brought forward since our last , and disposed of at from £ 8 8 s to £ 10 per cwt . Picking is expected to be pretty general this week , being few old hops on offer , while the demand for them is rather active , at full prices . Tne duty has reaohed to £ 130 . 000 . Weald of Kent pockets , £ 6 4 s to £ 6 12 s ; Mid Kent , ditto , £ 7 4 s to £ 9 16 a ; East Kent , ditto . £ 7 5 s to £ 9 ; Choice ditto , £ 10 to £ 11 11 s ; Sussex , ditto , £ 6 to £ 6 10 s ; Mid Kent bags , £ 7 to £ 8 5 s . Borough and Spitalfieeds . —The supplies of Potatoes are considerably on the increase , yet the sale for them continues rather active , at prices quite equal to those obtained last week , they ruling from £ 4 to £ 5 ) 8 i per ton .

      Wool Market . —The imports of Wool into London during the past week have amounted to about 1 , 200 packages , 800 being from New South Wales . Notwithstanding tbe approaching public Bales , at which upwards of 20 , 000 bales are expected to be offured , tho demand privately i ? active , and prices are steadily supported ; and this , too , notwithstanding the large supplies offering . Tallow Market . —This market continued much in tho same state , except that inferior descriptions of first sort new Y . C . might be purchased at , 41 s ( M . The demand has been somewhat checked by the extreme hot weather during the past week . There are letters this morning from St . Petersburgh up to the 30 h of August . By these advices we learu that the quantity of first sort is expected to be much increased beyond what ** ai anticipated at the early part of the season .

      Manchester Corn Market , SATURDAr , September 7 . —Up to Thursday the weather continued aa favourable as could be wished for securing tha harvest in the late districts ; but , during that night and yesterday , several very heavy showers of rain fell in this neighbourhood , accompanied with thunder aud lightning . The demand for Flour throughout the week has been exceedingly inactive , owning to a want of confidence in prioes , caused by the raaid dicline which h ? s taken place of late in the value of Wheat : the few sales that have occurred have been merely to supply the immediate wants of

      tho purchasers , and at prices below the currency of the preceding market-day . The transaction , in both Oata and Oatmeal have likewise been only on a moderate scale , and the latter article barely supported it 3 previous vatue . At our market this morning very little business was passing in Wheat , although old was offering at 3 d . te 4 d ., and new at 5 d . to 6 d . per 70 ib * . lower than on this day se ' nnight . Flour must be noted 2 s . per sack cheaper , and the sale very limited . There was only a moderate demand for Oats , but no change in prices can be noted . Oatmeal was bus little inquired for , and barely realized last week ' s rates . Beans were again ea 3 ier to buy ^

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , September 9 —During the last seven days 15 , 000 barrels of Fiour have arrived from Canada , a few cargoes of Wheat , Barley , and Beans from the continent of Europe , but the week ' s imports of British Grain . &c , are li « ht . Tne duty on Wheat ia now at the maximum , 20 s . per qr . ; on Peas 8 s . 6 d . per qr ., and on Flour 12 s . OJd . per barrel . With the exception of a liitie rain towards tbe end of the week , the weather has been uninterruptedly fine ; the trade has at the same time ruled very dull , and with , increased desire on the part of holders of old and Foreign Wheat to sell , the prices of that Grain having given way 4 d . to 5 d . per bushel ; new Wheat has snfferea a still further reduction : 6 s . to 6 a . 4 d . per 70 lbs . the

      were on Friday the current rates , at which greater portion of the supply waa taken off , Floor must be noted Is . to ls . 6 d . per sack and 6 d . p « r barrel cheaper . Upon a short supply Oats haw sustained previous rates . Oatmeal , in the early pa " of the week , declined in value 6 d . a load , no furth * change has occurred : best old selling at 203 . 6 A . new at 23 a . 6 d . to 24 s . per 240 lbs . Barley , Beans , and Peas have each been held without change as to value . Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , September 9 . —The show of Stock at market to-day was about the same as that of last week , and a numerous attendance of buyers . Beeef Sd . to 5 M . t Muften H *> to 5 | i ., Lamb 5 J . per lb . Cattle imported « w » Liverpool . 3011 Cows , 40 Calves , 7181 Sheep , -w Lambs , 2572 Pigs , 48 Horses .
